Marion County Sheriff Robert Craft does not think trash dumping in the county is a problem. However, considering it took more than three weeks to get information from a reported illegal trash-dumping incident reported by a property owner at Eagle Road and 170th, that is not surprising.
On Aug. 20, Marion County property owner Daniel Tucker of Junction City reported that someone dumped a load of trash on his property southwest of Hillsboro.
While acknowledging that his office did receive a report of dumping in the area indicated, Craft said last week it was really a non-issue.
"Trash dumping has never been a problem in our county," Craft said.
Neighboring property owner Tim Flaming said on Monday that trash dumping on 170th and Eagle was a common occurrence.
"It seems to be a growing problem," Flaming said. "I found a gas grill, some shingles, couches, chairs, just plain old garbage, and other stuff dumped along the road in that area. It must be someone who travels along here fairly frequently."
County Sanitarian and Environmental Health Director Tonya Richards said that when a trash report comes to her office, her role is to determine if it is a zoning regulation violation or not.
"By zoning rules, we do not allow solid waste to generate on private properties," Richards said. "If it is determined that it is not the property owner at fault, then I pass the report on to the sheriff's office or Rollin Schmidt at the transfer station."
Richards said she was aware of the dumping report from 170th and Eagle:
"It is an unfortunate incident because ultimately the property owner is responsible for the mess. But, if it is a third party doing the dumping, there could a criminal fine."
Richards said the dumping reported in August was attributed to an as-of-yet unnamed party, and since it was not the homeowner fault, she passed the call on to the Marion County Sheriff's Department and Schmidt.
Schmidt, director of household hazardous waste disposal, the noxious weed department, and the transfer station, said more and more he is called to clean up dumping messes in the county by road crews or the sheriff's department.
"I've been out there to clean up shingles and furniture," Schmidt said. "When I used to be a deputy, if I found information indicating who might be responsible, I would call them up and tell them to clean it up themselves or face a fine. I have no idea how the department handles it now."
Schmidt said he did notice an increase of dumping calls in the past several months and thought it might be attributed to hard economic times.
"The price of gas has gone up and it takes time to load it up and take it in," he said.
Richards said there was really no reason for people to be dumping their trash in the country.
"The transfer station in Marion is free," she said. "Any amount of household waste that is not hazardous, like old furniture, used carpet, or trash, can be dropped off there for free."
There is a weigh charge for appliances and the station does not take construction and demolition waste, but most items generated by the general public are accepted. Tires may be disposed of, but a pre-call is required.
"Charges can be pressed for this type of thing," Richards said. "It really is a no-brainer to choose between a possible fine and criminal charges, or just taking a little time to load things up and take them to the transfer station for free."
Flaming, who said he also has found mattresses, junk tossed in the trees, potted plant materials, and tires dumped in the area, said he thought whoever did it probably thought they could get away with it.
At noon on Tuesday, Craft provided information from the now-filed report on the trash dumped along Eagle Road. He said a dog collar with a tag had been found at the site.
"According to the report the owner of the dog said the collar and the tag had been missing for a year and she did not know anything else about it," Craft said.
He said his deputy followed up on additional leads but did not have any more information on the case at this time.
"If the trash is on the county right of way, the county cleans it up," Craft said. "If it is on personal property, the owner is responsible. There isn't much else we can do about it."

I have a nice tutorial to share with all of you avid artists that have an enjoyment with drawing fur. I'm not really keen on drawing fur properly so I searched YouTube to find a spiffy tutorial that would aid me on drawing it right. This artist used a B4 pencil to shade, sketch, and etch in little details for the fur of the wolf. I'm sure you'll learn some kind of need in this tutorial. Watch how the artist progresses on the different stages of drawing each hair. I checked out the artist's art page and found some really good art pieces. In this tutorial you will learn "how to draw fur step by step". It can be really easy once you've practiced drawing it enough. Well my fellow artists, it's time for me to move on with my other lessons. Have fun and happy drawing.

WALTHAM, Mass. � The Celtics player who needs a break the most this postseason isn�t 34-year-old Paul Pierce, who�s nursing a knee injury. Or 36-year old Ray Allen, who�s got bone spurs in his ankle. Or even Kevin Garnett, who turned 36 on Saturday b
WALTHAM, Mass. - The Celtics player who needs a break the most
this postseason isn't 34-year-old Paul Pierce, who's nursing a knee
injury. Or 36-year old Ray Allen, who's got bone spurs in his
ankle. Or even Kevin Garnett, who turned 36 on Saturday but is
playing like he did a decade ago.
It's Avery Bradley, 21, who is determined to stay on the court
despite a left shoulder that has popped out of its socket four
times this season.
"He is a guy who wants to be out there; a guy that wants to win
and do anything he can to help," Pierce said. "A lot of young
players would probably sit down and worry about their futures or
careers or contract situations. ... Hopefully he doesn't have any
long-term injuries due to the fact that he's playing."
A first-round draft pick who did not appear in the playoffs as a
rookie last year, Bradley moved into the starting lineup when Allen
was injured and remained there after the former All-Star returned.
Bradley dislocated his shoulder in Game Three of Boston's
first-round series against Atlanta, but has not missed a game
because of it.
"He's dealing with stuff and it's tough," Celtics coach Doc
Rivers said Sunday before practice, which Bradley sat out. "A lot
of people would not be playing, and the only reason he is is
because he wants to. I am concerned at some point that he may not
be able to anymore. We don't know what game that is. ... Tomorrow
could be his last game."
The Celtics resume the Eastern Conference semifinals against the
Philadelphia 76ers with Game Five on Monday night. The series is
tied 2-2 thanks to the Sixers' comeback from an 18-point,
third-quarter deficit to win Game Four, 92-83.
"It's a swing game, but it's a swing game for both teams,"
Rivers said. "Game Fives and Game Sevens are pretty much the
Game Six is Wednesday in Philadelphia, with a seventh game back
in Boston on Saturday, if necessary.
With two days off between the fourth and fifth games, Rivers
gave his aging team the day off Saturday before returning to
practice Sunday. Bradley did not participate in the workout, but
Allen was on the court shooting jumpers 30 minutes early and
Garnett joined him soon after.
"It probably benefits them," Collins said, noting the number of
minutes - more than 50,000 - Garnett has played in the regular
season and playoffs in his career. "Pierce, Allen, ton of minutes .
I'm sure they're probably a little disappointed in themselves that
they gave us some life."
Sixers forward Andre Iguodala said having the extra day probably
helps the Celtics "because they have a lot more miles on their
"One game, day off, one game, that was to our advantage," guard
Elton Brand agreed. "They have a lot of veterans on their team that
can use the rest. Helps us but going to help them, too."
Rivers said Bradley's shoulder has popped out at least four
times during this season. On Friday night, it popped out but popped
right back in.
"It's crazy," Rivers said, adding that the injury is keeping
Bradley from driving to the basket. "Listen: It's a tough thing
that he's going through. A lot of players would not be

Best Anti Aging Cream: What Does It Have?
Lots of people, particularly ladies, are desperately striving each and every possible skin care remedy in order to conceal the signs of skin aging. Thanks to technological and medical breakthroughs, it's now easier to deal with skin aging with just a simple use of some skin care products. Anti aging cream is among the perfect skin care remedies that people can utilize.

Pharmaceutical companies have their own specific effects when it comes to their products, that is exactly why their compositions vary from each other. Most of these products have a whole lot of both natural and artificial ingredients. Here are the ingredients that you must check out before buying an anti aging cream:
Retinol: The perfect anti aging serum has no way of losing this ingredient. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A which assists enhance skin texture, treat pigmentation, and get rid of dirt on pores.

Glycolic Acid: This is utilized in creams in order to expose younger skin beneath the layers of dead skin cells. Collagen production is also optimized with the presence of such ingredient.
Sunscreen Ingredients: Overexposure to sunlight gets the skin harmed instead of benefitting it. This is why it is usual for an anti aging serum to have ingredients which block or deflect ultraviolet rays for the skin to keep levels of collagen. Doing so will stop the skin from wrinkling due to excessive sunlight exposure.
All of these are the primary ingredients that creams or serums must contain to guarantee the anti aging effects.
What to Consider?
The effectiveness of anti aging creams is improved through the inclusion of synthetic or artificial ingredients. Even so, some of these ingredients may have chemicals that can damage your skin as time passes, that's the key reason why you ought to be cautious when selecting synthetic skin care products.

Great product and well-packaged. Got a sticker cover for my Q10. Pretty happy that these guys offer such things for my phone, as it's not so well supported elsewhere. I really love the design, and it fits very well. I like that it also includes a background screen that matches very well with the cover.

Internship and community service require revision
Apprenticeship has long been established in the medical profession. This was graphically brought home to me when reviewing Mike du Preez's expanded document on the early years of Dr James Barry (personal communication). Dr Barry (1789 - 1865) was an army doctor who was posted to the Cape of Good Hope, among other appointments elsewhere in the world.1 The drama of 56 years of hidden identity was revealed when Dr Barry died and was found to be a woman. After graduating from the Edinburgh medical school with an MD, Barry enlisted as Surgeon's Pupil at the United Hospitals of Guy's and St Thomas's. At that time it was possible for non-graduates to apprentice themselves to a surgeon for a period of 7 years in order to qualify to practise, but physicians required a medical qualification. This was why such surgeons were called 'Mr' and not 'Dr'. Today surgeons often still use the title Mr as a mild form of inverted snobbery.
Undergraduate clinical training in medicine even today contains elements of apprenticeship, and long ago apprenticeship in the form of internship was introduced to provide a bridging period of practice under supervision before being able to practise independently. Formal postgraduate training towards graduating in a specialty, or simply to become expert at whatever practice doctors find themselves in, generally provides a graduated apprenticeship, with initial closer supervision and then increasing responsibility. The Medical Board of the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) stipulates the requirements for each stage of this postgraduate experience. For specialty training posts to be recognised it must be demonstrated that adequate experience and supervision are available.
Some years ago the Department of Health (DoH) and some zealous educationists in the HPCSA extended internship to 2 years, arguing that newly graduated doctors lacked skills and that they needed practical exposure to all the major disciplines.2 The rationale for the 2 years' internship was to accommodate a reduced undergraduate study period from 6 to 5 years. This was based on the fond but mistaken belief that excellent supervised practical experience would compensate for the reduced educational period. HPCSA evaluations of internship posts have repeatedly shown that supervision is often lacking, and that even where supervision is present in the teaching hospitals, the internship experience is far from satisfactory.3
At the same time the DoH introduced a compulsory year of community service. Our previous government required compulsory military service of white doctors. The debates at that time included the view that all doctors should do community service of some kind, one form being an army doctor. Now community service is applicable to all South African medical graduates. Again the HPCSA considered it appropriate that these doctors, fresh out of internship, should continue to work under supervision. However, the community service doctors are often placed in public hospitals not of their first choice, and are overworked and poorly supervised.4
In this issue Nicolette Erasmus argues strongly on legal grounds against the exploitation of our medical professionals during their compulsory internship and community service duties.5 Since the compulsory double-dose internship and 1-year community service have been in operation for some years, it is time to take stock of their utility.
Firstly, the 5-year medical curriculum in South Africa was a misguided exercise given the educational backlog of many matriculates who enter the universities. Time and resources are required by the universities to make up this deficit before they can get on with their real educational tasks. An extra year at university under ideal learning conditions is preferable to 2 years' poorly supervised activities thereafter. Secondly, time spent in rapid rotation between many disciplines during internship could better be spent on acquiring better skills in fewer areas. It makes little sense for someone who has decided to specialise in psychiatry to spend time setting fractures in an orthopaedic rotation while denying the aspirant surgeon this opportunity. Burch and Reid6 observe that it appears that obligatory service may have negative unintended consequences, and it could be seen as "immunising" young graduates to further work in the public service'. Thirdly, both interns and community service doctors lack supervision. A further important consideration is that many students complete their study with heavy financial loans that have to be repaid, and the additional 3 years in low-paid posts add to that burden.
Given these problems of the compulsory internship and community service, the following solutions present themselves:
Return to the 6-year undergraduate medical curriculum - all bar one of the medical schools have done so.
Restructure the 3-year compulsory internship and community service into a 2-year programme. If this is done by returning to a 1-year internship, the following community service year could be nuanced to accommodate important missing experience.
Increase the number of medical officer posts (many were lost to fund the second year of internship), using the funds released by introducing the 2-year programme. This would greatly improve service delivery and supervision. Again Burch and Reid6 note that 'For continuity it is better to have one doctor in a post for 5 years than five doctors for 1 year each.'
Erasmus5 concludes: 'What is left is to "address the structural concerns, including policy and labour market failures that give rise to forced labour in the first place".' Simple changes can contribute significantly to a longterm improvement in our medical services, and the public service in particular would benefit.

The Canadian Hockey Foundation held their first Annual Celebrity Classic Gala Fundraiser and Golf Tournament in Toronto, a two-day event to be held annually. It was a night to celebrate Canada's proud hockey heritage and Canada's Olympic Gold Medals earned at the 2002 Salt Lake Games.
2004 Event Chairman Tim Manning with Guy Lafleur and Yvan Cournoyer
The Masters of Ceremonies were TSN's Gord Miller and Pierre McGuire. They welcomed the 400 guests in attendance for the inaugural event held at the Westin Harbour Castle in downtown Toronto. As part of the evening's fundraising festivities, the Flames Project 75 Hockey Association announced a matching contribution of $140,000 in support of the Foundation. Flames Project 75 Hockey Association was formed in 1984 when the original owners of the Calgary Flames purchased specific oil and natural gas properties, which were donated to Flames Project 75 for the benefit of amateur sport.
The Tournament Co-Hosts were Pat Quinn and Danièle Sauvageau. In addition to his many years of playing and coaching at the National Hockey League level, Pat Quinn has a long history with Team Canada, most recently coaching the men's hockey team to a Gold Medal performance at the 2002 Olympics. Danièle Sauvageau led the Canadian women's team to their first Gold Medal performance in the Olympic Games.
The Gala celebrated Canada's Olympic success at the 2002 Salt Lake Games where both the men's and the women's Olympic teams captured Gold Medals. Pat Quinn and Danièle Sauvageau led a celebration of Canada's hockey heritage, a heritage with a long list of success in international competition. The Foundation was fortunate to have many of the players who represented Canada at world championships from the 1950's to 2004 were in attendance.
The Golf Tournament was held the following day at The Copper Creek Golf Club in Kleinburg, ON. Thirty-two teams were captained by players and coaches from some of Canada's world championship teams including Ralph Backstrom, Tim Brent, Roger Bourbonnais, Sean Burke, Cassie Campbell, Matt Cooke, Yvan Cournoyer, Melody Davidson, Nigel Dawes, Pat Flatley, Wayne Fleming, Billy Gibson, Marc Habscheid, Glen Hanlon, Jamie Heward, Ken Hitchcock, Becky Kellar, Guy Lafleur, Roberto Luongo, Pierre McGuire, Gord Miller, Mike Pelino, Cheryl Pounder, Pat Quinn, Danièle Sauvageau, Gord Sherven, Maxime Talbot, and Steve Tambellini.
Sponsors and their guests enjoyed the bright summer weather, 18 holes of fast-paced golf, and a great day of hockey fellowship.
The Foundation thanked the Celebrity Classic's Organizing Committee Chair, Tim Manning, as well as the Honorary Co-Chairs Larry Tanenbaum and Gordon Nixon for their leadership and hard work in staging the Celebrity Classic Gala Fundraiser and Golf Tournament. The Foundation also recognized and thanked the many event sponsors for their contributions in helping to create such a successful and enjoyable event.

Chutney: a new Indian and Nepalese restaurant in Honolulu
Chicken masala, naan, and sauces: mint, tomato, tamarind
Chutney is my perfect neighborhood Indian restaurant—a tiny place with six tables, casual and cheap compared to most of the Indian restaurants around town. I have visions of it being the Ethel's of Indian food—mom and dad running the kitchen, daughter in the front, but I'm getting ahead of myself, and Chutney is only a month old, taking the place of short-lived Hosojin.
I have taken a vegan here, and half the menu was offered to us as vegan-friendly—among them, channa masala, a chickpea stew; a tomato-based vegetable curry (the curries are available with vegetable, chicken, lamb or shrimp); and biryani, a fragrant saffron and Indian-spiced pilaf.
On a second visit, post-surf session, I find others in the lineup here, and they are carnivorous, bottomless pits. They are enjoying their meal as much as the vegan. They chastise me when I take too long to order (you order and pre-pay at the counter): "just get anything, it's all good!" I have to agree—the vindaloo is a sour curry, pairing well with tender lamb chunks, and the masala, ordered with chicken, has soft, grilled chicken bathed in a creamy tomato sauce. You'll probably need at least one order of naan, slightly sweet and airy, per person to go with the dishes. The only disappointment I've encountered so far here is with the paratha, a wheat flatbread that has all the requisite layers but feels too dense and greasy.
The food here is billed as Indian by way of Nepal, which I think accounts for the creamier curries and flavors that seem slightly different from the usual Indian fare I know (which I have to admit, is somewhat limited).
Flatbreads $2.95-$3.95, entrees $9.95-$13.95

Introducing OC3D AfterShocks to the Forums!
OC3D's new gaming team has hit the forums!
Published: 21st May 2013 | Source: OC3D |
Today marks the introduction of OC3D AfterShocks to the forum at large, and it must be said that we're ecstatic to see these guys here. OC3D AfterShocks is the lovechild of Team AfterShocks, a group of laid back gamers who just enjoying gaming for what it is, and the OC3D forums, which should need no introduction.
We've been seeing a few of the Forum members try to actively coordinate gaming sessions, groups, and clans, but things have just been turned up a notch. With OC3D AfterShocks there is no skill level you must meet, as that's not what the team's about - it's all about kicking back and enjoying yourself, whilst being part of a greater community.
At OC3D AfterShocks we pride ourselves on being a friendly community. This is the reason why we do not have an overall leader. We're run by every member who has an equal say in all things we do (or don't!).
So, are you looking to join a friendly, laid back gaming team who share similar interests, don't take things too seriously, and love to have a good time? If so, OC3D AfterShocks should be just the place for you.
The games that are frequented most by the current members are Battlefield 3, Planetside 2, and Day Z, but that is far from the extent of what the team gets up to. Other games are constantly being played by members and it's not uncommon to see older games to be dug up for a friendly gaming session down memory lane.
I had the opportunity to ask a few questions to OC3D AfterShocks Head of Departments CptBlobs to gain a greater understanding on the history and mindset of the gaming team, so here it goes:
Tell me about how AfterShocks first started. What were the most popular games at the time and, near its inception, how many people did you have playing with you?
We were formed just over three years ago with the aim of providing a mature, and friendly, place for gamers to enjoy their gaming. We have steadily increased our player-base in these three years playing, and providing servers on, such games as the Battlefield and Call of Duty series, plus many others too numerous too mention here.
How did OC3D first enquire about your team, and what was it that made you think, 'this is a good place for us to settle,'?
A short time ago we were approached by TTL and Sub to help them form an OC3D gaming community. We were only too willing to accept this offer considering the enormous potential of a very popular website and a large gaming community.
Are you hoping that your new presence on the forums shall create a new interest in gaming from the original OC3D forum members, and are you looking forward to gaining new recruits?
As well as bringing our existing player-base across, we would like as many OC3D forum members to join us in this venture as possible.
What would be your number one recommendation for someone who wants to play games with you guys but they don't think they're skilled enough?
Even though we will be running certain competitive teams within OC3D AfterShocks, we have never been a community based on gaming ability but rather on enjoyment regardless of skill level. As such, any and all members that want to join should apply as soon as possible, as we look forward to meeting you on your battlefield of choice!
If you've read this far and you're still not convinced that the team would be the right place for you, we urge you to spend some time reading through the OC3D AfterShocks sub forum and mingle with the other members. We're sure that after a little time you'll realise what that the existing AfterShocks members are about as friendly and welcoming as you could ever wish for, and they're all excited over the prospect of gaining you as a member of their ranks!
If you're wanting to apply to become a recruit of the team please visit this thread which walks you through what needs to be done.
Still asking questions about the team? Visit this FAQ to see if your question's been answered.
Wanting to know which member is doing what within the team? Check out this thread which explains how the OC3D AfterShocks community works.
Just about to send your application on? Firstly, hooray! We hope that you enjoy your gaming experience with the rest of the team. Secondly, we must urge you to read through the team's Code of Conduct before you go any further.
Well then? What are you waiting for?! This is an opportunity to combine two great communities together to create an unstoppable gaming force like the world has never seen, so get your applications posted as soon as possible.
We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!

تعبیر خواب
حاکم از انس بن مالك روايت نموده است كهپيامبر(ص) فرمود : تعبیر خواب
«ان الرؤيا تقع علي ما تعبر ومثل ذلك مثل رجل رفع رجله فهو ينتظره متي يضعها فاذا رأي احدكم رؤيا فلا يحدث بها الا ناصحا او عالما »
يعني (خواب آنگونه كه تعبير مي شود ،اتفاق مي افتد و واقع شدن آن مانند كسي است كه پاي خود را برداشته است ومنتظر است تا ببيند كه چه وقت آن را روي زمين بگذارد.پس هر گاه يكي از شما خوابي راديد آن را به جز نزد عالم و يا ناصحي بازگو ننمايد )
Dream interpretations date back to 3000-4000 B.C., where they were documented on clay tablets. For as long as we have been able to talk about our dreams, we have been fascinated with them and have strived to understand them.
In some primal societies, members were unable to distinguish between the dream world and the waking world. Or they could simply choose not to make the distinction. They saw that the dream world was not only an extension of reality, but that it was a more powerful world.
In the Greek and Roman eras, dreams were seen in a religious context. They were believed to be direct messages from the gods or from the dead. The people of that time look to their dreams for solutions on what to do or what course of action to take. They believed dreams forewarned and predicted the future. Special shrines were even built where people can go there to sleep in hopes that a message could be passed to them through their dreams. Their belief in the power of a dream was so strong that it even dictated the actions of political and military leaders. In fact, dream interpreters even accompanied military leaders into battle to help with war strategy.
Greek philosopher, Aristotle believed that dreams were a result of physiological functions. Dreams were able to diagnose illness and predict onset of diseases.
During the Helllenistic period, the main focus of dreams was centered around its ability to heal. Temples, called Asclepieions, were built around the healing power of dreams. It was believed that sick people who slept in these temples would be sent cures through their dreams. Dream interpreters even aided the medicine men in their medical diagnosis. It was believed that dreams offered a vital clue for healers to finding what was wrong with the dreamer.
In Egypt, priests also acted as dream interpreters. The Egyptians recorded their dreams in hieroglyphics. People with particular vivid and significant dreams were believed to be blessed and were considered special. People who had the power to interpret dreams were looked up to and seen as divinely gifted.
Dreaming can be seen as an actual place that your spirit and soul leaves every night to go and visit. The Chinese believed that the soul leaves the body to go into this world. However, if they should be suddenly awakened, their soul may fail to return to the body. For this reason, some Chinese today, are wary of alarm clocks. Some Native American tribes and Mexican civilizations share this same notion of a distinct dream dimension. They believed that their ancestors lived in their dreams and take on non-human forms like plants. They see that dreams as a way of visiting and having contact with their ancestors. Dreams also helped to point their mission or role in life.
During the Middle Ages, dreams were seen as evil and its images were temptations from the devil. In the vulnerable sleep state, the devil was believed to fill the mind of humans with poisonous thoughts. He did his dirty work though dreams attempting to mislead us down a wrong path.
In the early 19th century, dreams were dismissed as stemming from anxiety, a household noise or even indigestion. Hence there was really no meaning to it. Later on in the 19th century, Sigmund Freud revived the importance of dreams and its significance and need for interpretation. He revolutionized the study of dreams.
Tracing back to these ancient cultures, people had always had an inclination to interpret dreams The bible alone has over seven hundred references to dreams.
"I Was Bitten By A Snake!!"
One of the most common animals found in dreams is the snake. Snakes are complicated symbols because they can have both positive and negative meanings. To understand the significance of the snake in your dream, it is important to consider your own personal experiences with snakes and how the snake is viewed in your culture. For example, if you keep a snake as a pet, then the dream will have a different meaning for you than a person who hates snakes or are terrified of them. The snake is also a strong symbol in many cultures and thus your cultural background can play an important factor in how your snake dream is interpreted.
Snake refers to fear:
For many, the image of a snake can invoke fear. Snakes are unpredictable and can strike at anytime without warning. Thus a snake in your dream may represent something in your life that is unpredictable and out of your control. You are afraid of the unknown.
Snake refers to hidden threats:
Because snakes are sometimes hard to see and are slithering in bushes, they are also symbolic of a hidden threat and/or a betrayal. They lie in wait waiting for the perfect opportunity to make a move. If the snake bites you, then the dream is trying to alert you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. To see a baby snake in your dream means that you are underestimating the threat. If you kill the snake or if the snake is dead, then it means that this threat has passed or that you have overcome it.
Daydreaming is often a disregarded and neglected aspect of dream study because they are often overlooked as fleeting and wandering thoughts. There is a lack of emphasis on the content of your daydreams. However, the meanings to your nightly dream symbols are also applicable to your daydreams. he content in your daydreams are also helpful to the understanding of your true feelings and in fulfilling your goals. Daydreaming occurs when you are semi-awake. It is the spontaneous imagining or recalling of various images or experiences in the past or future. You allow your imagination to run away from you. When you daydream, you are accessing your right brain, which is the creative and feminine side of your personality.
Daydreams are often viewed as light-hearted in nature. They are just silly fantasies and wishful thinking. Actually, even worrying over things can be classified as a form of daydreaming. When you worry, you are visualizing an unwanted or negative outcome to a situation. By repeating these negative images in your mind, you are more likely to make them happen. Next time you start worrying, try to think of a positive outcome.
Just as your worrisome daydreams can unwittingly come true via repetition in your mind, you can use it as a tool to your advantage and make positive events happen. You can utilize daydreams as a technique to visualize what you want and hope to happen. It is said that many athletes, musicians and business leaders utilize daydreams to envision success. They anticipate or imagine landing the perfect jump, closing a deal, or making that hit single. Tiger Woods, for one, has said to use daydreams to improve his golf game. You, too, can utilize daydreams for something as simple as studying for and acing the next test or for landing that job.
Positive daydreaming is healthy. It serves as a temporary escape from the demands of reality. It is also a good way to release pent up frustrations without physically acting them out. All to often you worry about your job, your family, finances, a relationship, etc. It is a way to leave the world behind and ponder about what could've been or should've been. It relieves stress, improves attitude, fosters creativity and refresh the mind, body, and spirit.

Dungen Live at ATP-NY 2010
Swedish psychedelic rock band Dungen (pronounced "dune-yen", not "Dungeon", as your Stryper-loving stepbrother may refer to them as) performed an awesome set at the Jim Jarmusch curated ATP last month in Monticello, New York.
While the set covered most of the band's discography, it centered around the group's awesome new LP, Skit i allt, which in English humorously translates to "Fuck it all." That title may have been a bit more appropriate for frontman Gustav Ejstes' early days as a hip hop artist, but there's something about it that's perfect for Dungen's music, which to me occasionally sounds like Eureka-era Jim O'Rourke playing with Selling England By The Pound-era Genesis.
Maybe only I hear that combination... but to me that sounds... awesome! Dungen can be a bit proggy, they can be a bit folky, a bit metal, and sometimes it even seems like in any minute Karen Carpenter might come up and grab the microphone from Gustav and start singing a Burt Bacharach-penned number, especially on "Marken Lag Stilla", from the newest album.
"Mina Damer Och Fasaner", from 2008's 4, was a particular highlight from the set, recalling Gentle Giant and Peter Gabriel (in a good way) and has been made available to download via WFMU below, engineered by Ernie Inradat. Unleash your inner prog nerd!

Jacques Tati
M. Hulot devant le labyrinthe des bureauxAbout this photograph
Mr. Hulot follows the section head Mr. Giffard and discovers the beehive downstairs.PlayTime by Jacques Tati (1967) © Les Films de Mon OncleLooking for a job, Monsieur Hulot has an appointment in an ultramodern city full of glass and steel. Quickly swayed from his task, he valiantly attempts to resist this hostile and austere environment in which the neutrality of the sounds and tones are only matched by the repetition of forms.

Jacques Tati (1907-1982), né Tatischeff, began his career in the 1930s as a music-hall artist, touring the international theatre, circus and cabaret scenes from one city to the next, where he met with great success. By turns an actor, scriptwriter, then director of three short films and six features, Tati stands out among burlesque filmmakers as one of the most original and inventive of his generation. While The Big Day (1949) first earned the enthusiasm of audiences owing to its innovative character, Mr. Hulot's Holiday (1952) and My Uncle (1958) enabled Tati to garner numerous awards both in France and across the globe (Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 1959). In the last two films, Tati invented and embodied the character of Monsieur Hulot, a lanky, clumsy fellow who smokes a pipe, with whom Tati was thenceforth always assimilated. Although he produced a film worthy of the greatest Hollywood studios with PlayTime (1967), its commercial failure and financial deficit compromised his activities and obliged him to transfer his rights in his own productions. He is nonetheless considered one of the greatest French comic directors and received a César d'Honneur in 1977 for his overall achievement.

Louis Wain interview and gallery
How could I forget my favorite insane painter and postcard artist, Louis Wain, whose works are often used to illustrate the onset of schizophrenia.
At the website linked above there is even an interview with him from 1896 as well as a wonderful gallery of his work.

I have a book about Wain called "The man who painted cats". According to the book, he had some background or experience (I forget the details) with textile patterns so sometimes he'd combine the two.
He also designed some unusual ceramic figures. They're pictured in the book, but I could only find one pic online:
- Aug 22, 2007, 1:33:00 PM
Thanks for the Wain images. Pretty good summary at the wikipedia link, too. He ended up at an asylum aptly named Napsbury. Hope I can take a rest cure there (if it still has a garden and a colony of cats) when I go off the rails.

I became so impressed with the art of insane people after working as a graphic designer for 10 years that I almost got a second degree in art therapy, but then I decided I didn't really want to go back to school but would rather make crazy artwork myself than analyze it.

All your comments are really interesting to me. namowal, the textile pattern background is great to learns. I have the book "Catland." I keep coming upon new images of his on the internet that amaze me. We have a little ceramic pig we got in England 20 + years ago, not with the fancy signature, just a stamped name on it, but with the same kind of wild face and spirals.
The wikipedia piece was quite good, katy.
sally g, were the insane people your coworkers?

Hi, I've been a *huge* Louis Wain fan for over 12 years now, and it's great to see a more active interest in his work and life in recent years. When I first discoverd Louis Wain, and would mention him to people, I always got the same reaction - 'who'? No one knew who I was talking about. So it's really cool to see he is gaining back a following of sorts in recent times.
As far as his background with textiles, his mother worked with textiles, mostly in the eastern indian tradition, and it is said that Louis saw cats in the patterns of these eastern indian textiles, even long before he became mentally ill. While I'm sure his illness played a part in the way his cat paintings changed over the years, I do feel his exposure to these textiles played a part in it as well. Mostly what are referred to as his 'wallpaper cats'.
The only thing that saddens me somewhat about him now, is that in his time, he was known as the King of the Cat Artists, but now he's more known for his 'crazy cat paintings' as some people put it. It makes me sad because there seems to be too much focus on his illness, when you consider all that he did so for cats in his time. And he did a lot! Not only was Louis very popular with his art, but he was involved in many cat related charity groups, even the National Anti-vivisection league - talk about being ahead of his time! Louis also served as President for years for the National Cat Club, and he is the one who changed the publics perception of cats as more than mere vermon killers, but rather as household pets that deserve love and respect. So while his later works are indeed quite fascinating, let's not forget all he did for cats in his time that still resonate even in today's society.
If anyone is interested, there is a link to my 'Louis Wain Group' over at Wiki. Any fans of his are most welcome to join. I also wrote his bio over at findagrave.com - you can leave virtual flowers and/or notes for him there.

Thanks Jane. He was an incredibly prolific artist with such a strange life story. I think in the future art history will re-evaluate him. His paintings are so beautiful and the humor in the postcards is charming and funny.

Hi Sally - I too think that people in the art field will re-evalaute Louis Wain. I am noticing that he is gaining more popularity these days, which is great, I'm happy to see people are appreciating his work and all he did for cats too. I remember when I first saw his cat art, and I fell in love wih it instantly because it is so charming, just as you said! His work makes me smile so much. I think it's wonderful that after all these years since Louis was around, that his art still has that effect on people! He's one of those people I would have loved to have met. Louis was not only talented, but seemed like such an interesting and compassionate person. I'm glad his art lives on!
Cheers from Catland ;)

Now I'm not even sure how I encountered this blog, but am very much interested in Louis Wain. I own the website WainCats.com. My goal is to see that Wain is known as the great artist he was and not as the certified insane person as he is often portrayed.
I am visiting England soon to continue my search for Wainiana. I visited Royal Bethlem Hospital when Patricia Allderidge was still curator.
This year I designed a desk calendar with a Wain postcard on each page. It turned out to be much more popular than I ever imagined. I feel that items like this give those with few funds to see his art -- and they appeal to the Wain fans as well. Our greeting cards are also popular for the same reasons.
This time in England I want to visit the primary neighborhoods where Wain spent his life and take some pictures or a video. If anyone can help me in my search, I would very much appreciate it!
Jane, thanks for the info on virtual graves at wiki -- sounds like a good start!
When I have time, I leave comments on those Google videos, which show Wain's decline into schizophrenia -- wish those producers would do more reading before publishing their rubbish all over the Internet.
Happy New year!

fuzzer96, You have some lovely Louis Wain images on your website, but I question why you have copyright notices stamped on all over them?
- Dec 27, 2007, 10:02:00 AM
Hi everyone,
When I started my site in 1999, I didn't have any copyright notices on anything except greeting cards, which I had personally designed. The copyright is on the card design and not Wain's art.
About 3 years or so, I was looking through Google images and noticed that images from original artwork that I personally own were being shown as being in the public domain and anyone would be free to use them. I was quite surprised that my own pictures would be in the public domain and, indeed, other sites do use them.
In actuality the person who created the artwork should have the copyright on them for well over 100 years now, as the copyright laws were extended a few years back.
I have written to the major holders of Wain artwork, such as the Royal Bethlem Hospital and the V & A Museum to get a list of the art that they do own and claim the copyrights.
Since we probably all know that Wain was a poor businessman, he never copyrighted or patented his work except for the ceramics. Thus Tuck and other companies in Wain's day never paid him any royalties; yet they continued to use and reuse his pictures and never paid him royalties. I think that is very unfair, and I would be happy to pay anyone who had a legitimate claim to Wain's art.
I was very nervous at first using someone else's artwork -- my solution currently is to always give credit to the publishing company who first used them.
The most disheartening thing to me, though, is to see that persons and companies are distorting his artwork. I think that is a really unfair to depict Wain art in such a way.
FYI, to use a picture that Royal Bethlem owns, you must pay them a fee to do so. I am interested in using some Wain art for Tshirts and cards, and to do so, I would pay the Hospital a 400 pound fee for 3 years and use it in such a way that thought appropriate. I am all for that. Louis Wain art should be maintained in the way in which it was originally created. I would be happy to answer any further questions on copyrights as I consulted two copyright attorneys before I began this undertaking. Does anyone agree or disagree with my position? So far, no one has come forward to question my position.
Loved the graveyard site (not the subject matter), but didn't have time to join. I plan to do so, though, and remember him on some of the important days of his life.

Did you know that you're blog is listed on page 2 for Google under Louis Wain Postcards? That's great!

That's amazing about google. And one of the reasons I try to remember not to mention names if I'm saying something I wouldn't want the person to know about.

For a while, I was beginning to think Wain was losing some of his popularity. Was I ever wrong! I cruise the internet sites daily looking at his pictures that I love. More and more, I am outbid on eBay. The current collectors have a ton of money and obviously great admiration for Wain's art. A Wain Tuck calendar that was outstanding just sold for $694 or so and a couple of the cubist ceramics are running into the thousands. I only wish Wain could know his popularity today. He was such a quiet, unassuming man.

I purchased an old oil painting years ago of "cats on a see-saw." Since that time I discovered Louis Wain and saw a print of this oil painting. I would like to find out where the original piece of his work is (unlikely that mine is an origianl one since it is not signed, but a really good copy)and wonder how to go about finding that out. Any ideas? mary w.

Dear Anonymous
We are fortunate enough to own the original of this painting which is called "Cats on a Seesaw". The original is oil on canvas and was painted in 1890 which we think makes it one of his earliest oils. It also seems to be one of his largest at 46" x 19".
I'm pleased to say that the painting is still in excellent condition having been in our family since it was painted and given to my great grandfather who was a friend of Wain's on the cat and dog show circuit.

Sometimes it begins innocently. You get a message – "Hey! I made your recipe for ______ and wrote about it on my blog!" Then you go click over and yes, there is your recipe, cut-and-pasted word-for-word, along with your photograph. In other instances, you're searching for a recipe online and, hmmm, that image in the search results looks awfully familiar. So you click through, and…hey – there you are, too!
If you have a food blog, you probably already know from experience that if you put stuff online, at some point, someone is going to probably try to swipe it. Even though I clearly recall all the way (way) back to my days in junior high school, when it was drilled into us that taking words from others is wrong, unfortunately it seems that common logic and courtesy – and the law – are often not enough to deter people from doing it.
The argument, "Don't put it online if you don't want people to take it" doesn't hold true. If so, that logic would apply to movies, music, and newspapers that are published virtually. Most food blogs are copyrighted and if you don't have a copyright logo or note on your site, make sure you have one. And while it's impossible to eradicate all the mischievous people out there dipping their fingers into food blogs, it's important to be pro-active since if it is tolerated, it will flourish.

The Aggregate Risk and Revenue Management program would base payments on planted acres instead of base acres and because producers would no longer be required to sign up for the life of the farm bill, producers would be free to plant anything they desire on their farm.
The bill also builds on the current Average Crop Revenue Election program. It would eliminate the direct and counter-cyclical payment programs, as well as SURE, the standing disaster program. The program would determine losses at the crop reporting district level, rather than the state level. It would also simplify crop insurance. The Congressional Budget Office says ARRM would save about $20 billion.
The National Corn Growers Association has voiced their support of the legislation that is designed to simplify, consolidate and streamline existing commodity programs authorized as part of the 2008 Farm Bill.
"We greatly appreciate the senators' work to introduce legislation that will provide a more effective and responsive safety net for America's farmers," NCGA President Bart Schott said. "This legislation addresses several concerns raised by farmers regarding the ACRE program, including overly complicated procedures and delayed payments when losses are experienced. We also understand everyone must do their part to help our nation with its difficult financial situation, and we are pleased to see a bill introduced that takes responsible steps to help meet this challenge."
Schott says that while crop insurance is still the number one risk management tool for farmers, an effective, efficient revenue-based risk management tool that addresses gaps not covered by crop insurance is vitally important.
"We feel the proposed legislation adopts the right kind of market-oriented approach in providing assistance when most needed by producers," Schott said. "We look forward to working with the senators as they continue their work with the Senate Agriculture Committee on a farm safety net for today's risk management needs."

(Game Developer David) Braben has developed a tiny USB stick PC that has a HDMI port in one end and a USB port on the other. You plug it into a HDMI socket and then connect a keyboard via the USB port giving you a fully functioning machine running a version of Linux. The cost? $25.
The hardware being offered is no slouch either. It uses a 700MHz ARM11 processor coupled with 128MB of RAM and runs OpenGL ES 2.0 allowing for decent graphics performance with 1080p output confirmed. Storage is catered for by an SD card slot

Well they have put a camera on the device . . .
I wrote to them and asked about an internet connection via a USB hub
or integrated facility
I am publicity officer for Puppy Linux
and am interested in porting Puppy to a cheap ARM device that includes
internet connection.
Is Internet connection possible with a USB hub from your device
or do you intend including such a feature?

Thanks mechmike for telling us about it.
Lobster ask the Dev if he allow the users to have root access
It is not easy to get Puppy on such a thing. But maybe one can use what is already there and tweak it to be more puppy like but to write subroutines for ARM is for those that do it 24/7 and then you have to find somebody motivated from within themselves or to pay somebody.
25 USD but that maybe is before our Custom Service want the Toll things and VAT and whatever. But sure I send the money if you send me the small thing. would be cool to have as a toy someday in the future when we know more what kind of linux it is. I guess it is Debian. Them are good at such.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I heard that it runs Ubuntu. If it can run Ubuntu, puppy won't be a problem.
And I think the 25 us dollar means actually the selling price after all the margins.
It has only one usb port but there are usb hubs. But why the camera? then something has to hold the piece to face a person.
A 9v battery!! Wonderful.
Wireless keyboard and mouse combo comes into my mind.
Great stuff.

Post subject: Vision
This is a special purpose device that is intended for its one mission that its engineers designed it for! This is what is called a component. And intends to be sold in bulk to some corporation/agency/organization.
It was NEVER intended as a general purpose device. Why not ask their product managers to tell you which application it was intended for and use it within its spec objective first. Then, look for extensions.
This does NOT appear to be designed for how we use Puppy. So, if some intend to put Puppy here, it would be nice to consider a specific application (meaning need) that this would match. For example Lobster's Video objectives where he may create and save to USB, only. Or as a switching component to make intelligent decision about locking and unlocking doors for security or as a security device in a home which receives signaling from a USB camera and display it on a screen. Very specialized kinds of stuff well within the scope of its design point(s).
Please look over and understand the ARM mission, too. The ARM manufacturers are very specific in the niche they are filling and its price-point for bulk sales. They are NOT as of yet looking to produce an Intel/AMD/Via class CPU as of yet. But they do see a market in the hand-helds and miniature class boards.
Hope this helps.

This is their reply (a slice of Pi?)
It's certainly possible to get network access - the grey DLink box on
the table in one of the photos on our site is a USB Ethernet adapter.
The devices should be available to the general public later in the
year; I'll add you to our mailing list, and will keep you posted as we
get closer to launch
We are still some way from a viable mass market ARM device and therefore some way from Puppy ARM . . .

This is just a $20 idea which may help your desires while achieving your objective(s).
Hardware Requirement
You'll need
1 PC that is running full time on your LAN as a Netboot + NAS server. (Required!)
1/more PC motherboards (MB) wtth LAN adapter built into the MB
AND for each MB, you'll nned
ethernet cable connecting your MB to your switch
Software Requirement
You'll need your choice of Puppy distro for your running full-time PC
the ISOs for your choice of which PUPs you choose to run on your MB
Next on that full-time PC install NETBOOT functions
Assuming you have a full time PC running,
Follow the instructions here which will setup your full time PC.
Here's a cost I have found at a local computer store for used parts.
Old PC with 1GB RAM and on-board LAN ==> $20 (US) (without HDD or CD/DVD with keyboard and mouse) store guaranteed that the LAN adapter on MB worked and it would PXE boot. It did.
Here's what I did:
Followed the instructions
, above, and booted my $20 network attached MB
Set power to its lowest level
Set screen-saver properties appropriately
No moving parts excepting fan on powersupply. Quiet....very quiet!
$20! Of course, I had to supply my own monitor, but $20.
Hope this helps.
P.S. I just thought about it, but I'll bet that for $5 I could trade them my current powersupply for a 50-75Watt PS.. Hummm???

Post subject: Still not low enough draw
Up front cost aren't the issue, I'm looking for a small form computer that has super low draw that I can run for a very long time off of a small solar panel and battery system that has all the full features ie dual core's/with the fastest memory I can get. My old P3 machines will operate at 25-50% power of my single core P4 machines will but the P4's will run circles around them in terms of surfing the net with the same amount of memory Both are running 1.5 gb of memory. PC133 SDRAM just can't keep up with PC2700 DDR even with overclocking. The Panda Board comes with on-board LAN and 1gb of DDR2 memory ie even faster than PC2700. The Panda Board site say it will operate on any Debian based Linux. I know Lucid Puppy is Debian based are Wary or Puppy 4.2, 4.3 as well?

Lucid is 'Puppy + Ubuntu binaries', so has some Debian compatibility. Wary is compiled with Woof, in Puppy for Puppy. So it is Puppy based. (Not going to be too strict in these definitions) 4.2 and 4.3 are Puppy compiled and based.
A dpup is currently being revived (Puppy + Debian binaries)

Classic North Indian chicken curry
- Serves: 3-4
- Cook Time: 55 minutes
- Prep Time: 25 minutes
- Effort: easy
- 4 tbsp oil
- 2 cloves
- 1 sticks cinnamon
- 2 green cardamom pods
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 small-medium onion, chopped
- 1½ tbsp chopped ginger
- 6 cloves garlic, chopped
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- 2 tomatoes, puréed
- 450 g small chicken, or poussin, bone-in, skinned and jointed
- ½ tsp garam masala
- 1 handful coriander leaves
To serve
- rice, or Indian flatbreads
- cucumber raita, or any vegetable dish
Tips and Suggestions
To freeze the curry, leave out the garam masala and coriander leaves and instead let it cool completely once the chicken is done. Pack into freezer bags (plastic boxes are likely to stain) and freeze for no more than 3 months. The longer curry freezes, the more likely some of the spices will turn slightly bitter, and sometimes the flavour will become over-intense. This one does not have a high content of watery vegetables, so the texture should remain very good.
Defrost the curry overnight in the fridge then reheat gently in a covered pan, adding a few tablespoons of water to help it get steaming hot without drying out. Finish with the garam masala and fresh coriander as described at left.
1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan. Add the cloves, cinnamon, cardamom pods and cumin seeds and fry for about 20 seconds until aromatic.
2. Add the onion and cook for about 10 minutes until golden brown, stirring often. Stir in the ginger and garlic and cook stirring for 40 seconds before adding a pinch of salt and the ground spices, and stir for 15 seconds. Pour in the tomatoes and cook over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, until the liquid in the pan has dried off and the oil leaves the sides of the dry masala around 10 minutes.
3. Add the chicken and brown over a medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes. Add enough water to almost cover the chicken (about 350ml), bring to the boil and then cook over a low heat until the chicken is cooked through. The slower it cooks the better it tastes. This takes about 15 minutes for small joints and up to 25-30 minutes for larger ones. Check with a fork; once it is tender it is done.
4. Add the garam masala and coriander leaves and serve with rice or Indian flatbreads and raita or any vegetable dish.

U.S. evacuates Libyan embassy amid growing unrest
With Libya facing its highest levels of violence since its 2011 uprising, the United States drove its embassy staff and military personnel Saturday to neighboring Tunisia with U.S. military escorts flying overhead.
The embassy staff will leave Tunisia and work in other embassies around the region and in Washington. U.S. Ambassador to Libya Deborah Jones will work from the American embassy in Valletta, Malta, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said.
The decision to evacuate the 158 Americans, including Marines, from the U.S. embassy in Tripoli, the Libya capital, was an undeniable acknowledgment by the Obama administration of a collapsing situation, just three years after U.S. and NATO forces helped rebels bring down the four-decade rule of former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.
Violence had once been largely limited to restive eastern Libya, where in the city of Benghazi, extremists killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, along with three other Americans during a Sept 2012 storming of the U.S. Special Mission and CIA compound there. But in the last few months, western Libya, where the capital sits, similar battles erupted between Islamist and secular forces seeking control of the country.
"Due to the ongoing violence resulting from clashes between Libyan militias in the immediate vicinity of the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, we have temporarily relocated all of our personnel out of Libya," Harf said.
Jones on Friday tweeted: "We have not been attacked but our neighborhood a bit 2 close to the action. Diplomatic missions 2 B avoided pls."
Rival militia, paid by Libya's flailing government and armed with grenades and anti-aircraft launchers, have battled for weeks for control of Tripoli's main airport, destroying the facility and most of the airplanes parked there, killing at least 50 fighters in the last two weeks. Islamist militias from the city of Misrata sought unsuccessfully to wrest control of the airport from a rival secular militia from Zintan.
The militias were born during the 2011 uprising that led to Gadhafi's fall and have since fought for power in Libya's new government. With no national security force in the early days of the post-Gadhafi period, the government put them on the government payroll.
With the airport shut down, the United States lost a means to evacuate its staff, which in the last few months had been whittled down to the bare minimum. In addition to the battle between militias, there were a growing number of kidnappings and assassinations of prominent liberal activists across the capital.
The United Nations already has evacuated its personnel, citing the deteriorating security situation.
It was unclear how the United States would secure the embassy, which is in the middle of Tripoli, from potential looting, given that Marines were among those who evacuated the site.
For the past two months, the U.S. military increasingly moved resources near Tripoli in anticipation of a possible evacuation as the State Department assessed how long it could stay in country. In May, the U.S. military moved the USS Bataan, with 1,000 Marines on board, to move toward the Libyan coast.
Before evacuating the embassy, "classified holdings were destroyed in accordance with procedures. Some classified equipment not normally destroyed was taken out," Harf said.
Secretary of State John Kerry, traveling in Paris Saturday, stressed to reporters that the evacuation was temporary and the United States would return as soon as the security situation would allow.
The State Department and Pentagon announced the evacuation after the embassy's civilian and military personnel arrived in Tunisia. An Airborne Response Force with MV-22 Ospreys helicopters, as well as F-16 fighter jets and other assets provided security over the convoy during the five-hour trip, the Pentagon said. The transport occurred without incident even as on social media, some Libyans tracked the movement of air support overhead.

Every year on one of the first weekends in October the door of interesting buildings in the city open up to the public. It is an amazing opportunity to learn about old and new architecture of New York. This year I had a chance to participate in a tour of newly open Visitors' Center at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.
Elegantly designed by Weiss/Manfredi Architecture/Landscape/Urbanism, the Center proves that the building can be environmentally responsible and beautiful at the same time. BBG is reaching for LEED NC Gold and employs many wonderful strategies that limit its' environmental footprint.
The building responds to the location in its form that brings visitors gently into the gardens. The interiors are skillfully detailed and benefit from high level of transparency and views of the surroundings.
You can learn about all environmental features of the building from very informative signs placed in and around the Center. I highly recommend a visit!

The tragic "friendly fire" incident at the weekend, in which 24 Pakistani soldiers were allegedly killed in a NATO airstrike, raises many questions. Who shot first? How should Pakistan respond? What is the future for the already traumatized U.S.-Pakistan relationship?
But surely the biggest question, after a decade of conflict, is this: Should the United States even have launched military action in Afghanistan in the first place? And was the magnitude of the attacks on September 11, 2001, so great as to mean there was no choice but to launch military operations?
Setting aside the support of the international community, the United States still chose to act unilaterally against Afghanistan, claiming self–defense. There was much debate at the time over the legality of the initial use of force. Yet the devastation that the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan have experienced over the last decade as U.S. and coalition forces have battled Taliban militias almost makes that debate seem trite.Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access. Just $5 a month.
Interestingly, the justification for the war has transformed from self-defense, to an even less well defined fight against global terrorism. Meanwhile, Pakistan-based Taliban have replaced al-Qaeda as the central enemy in a war that has gradually come to be seen by Afghans as regime enforcement.
Whatever the reason given for military action, it has become increasingly clear that a dangerous precedent was set in Afghanistan. The justification for the use of force as self-defense has been increasingly utilized by opportunistic states to meet the challenge of insurgents and rebels, and this unwanted development of the doctrine of pre-emptive and preventive self-defense now poses a grave threat to international peace and security.
In addition, it also appears to be a mistake for coalition forces, acting under the mandate of the UN Security Council, to indulge in peace enforcement rather than just peacekeeping initiatives in Afghanistan. After all, history has shown that such aggressive use of force has typically worsened conflicts, as witnessed in Somalia.
Indeed, as underscored by events at the weekend, the fight against Taliban militants has now spilled over into Pakistan, where civilian causalities far outnumber those of combatants. This is in large part due to the U.S. insistence of using drone attacks to target militants, attacks that have had only sporadic success, even as they have killed scores of civilians, thus fueling extremism and resentment in Pakistan.
Against this backdrop, the United States has avoided providing proper legal justification for drone attacks, which violate Pakistani sovereignty. When confronted on the issue, the Obama administration responds in vague terms that it has a right to defend itself. The Pakistani military, for its part, has generally stayed quiet over the issue.
Yet although the U.S. and Pakistani governments may have until recently been in tacit agreement over the drone strikes, these extra-judicial killings should be seen as illegal under international law, in violation of the Constitution of Pakistan, and without the support of the people of Pakistan.

Electrolux Magic Mill DLX 9000 how should it work?
I got a really cheap ($90 .00) Magic Mill DLX 9000 mixer on E-bay. Someone had fiddled with the pin located on the arm; however, I fixed it and ordered a roller and scraper. My question, having never used one of these machines, is whether this particular model had a spring-loaded arm as the new models (Ankarsrum Assistent) apparently do. I am not sure if the machine I have is working properly as this machine does not have a spring-loaded arm. I did try mixing some brioche dough with it and was not too impressed. The roller arm kept moving towards the middle and within no time, the dough had formed a doughnut around the roller and was more or else just spinng around with minimal contact to the side of the bowl or the scraper. It really didn't seem to be doing much kneading. I attempted to incorporate butter and the butter stayed primarily around the exterior of the dough and really didn't seem to get incorporated to any great degree. If I physically moved the arm so that it was closer to the side of the bowl and held it there, that seemed to help enourage the dough to come off of the roller and move between the roller and the scraper. I tried tightening the arm to keep it in a more what seemed to me to be more useful position but the with the movement from the arm and the bowl, the screw loosens up and goes back to moving more or less towards the middle without much contact with the side. I was making a two-loaf batch of brioche so perhaps had I been making 8 loaves it would have worked. Any insight would help. I have watched You-Tube videos but they don't describe their model or how it should work properly. Thanks.
