A number of factors influenced the severity of the fires this year, including dry weather conditions and an extended windy season. Hall says Arizona's humidity levels reached a new low, hovering between 1 percent and 5 percent this summer.
"We can slow the fire down the best we can, but in these conditions there's not much we can do to stop it," Hall says.
Recent rain showers have been too scattered to dampen large blazes. Plus, rainstorms bring their own problems. When monsoon season hits, the areas that suffered the most fire damage lack vegetation to protect the soil from erosion.
"Since the air is so dry, having some humidity in the air would certainly help," she says. "But there would have to be steady rain for a week all over the state for it to really stop anything."
While water acts as the most effective force against structural fires, large forest blazes call for other tools. Wildland firefighters use chain saws to remove anything that can burn from the fire's path.
"Fire needs heat, fuel and oxygen," Hall says. "If you take the fuel away, the fire won't burn anymore. There's a lot of digging involved."
Wildlands lack a convenient water source for firefighters to hook up to. Plus, Hall says it would take an ocean to put out a blaze that's spread over hundreds of thousands of acres.
"This type of season is so intense and unpredictable. A lot of our methods that would work another year are really ineffective."
Wildlands firefighter Jessica Hall
"It's kind of the same animal, but it's a completely different environment," she says. "Our fires get to such a large scale that that kind of tactic isn't really effective for us."
"There would have to be steady rain for a week all over the state for it to really stop anything."
Wildlands firefighter Jessica Hall
The wildland firefighters work from the outside in and eliminate any potential fuel source such as grass, wood, pines or other flammable objects.
Hall explains that a contained fire has stopped progressing but remains at risk of jumping the containment lines. The lines can vary between 6 inches to a mile in width, depending on the size of the fire.
"When the fires get that massive—even with hundreds of people on them—there's no way to ensure that they're not going to cause any more damage or spread any more until there's snow on them," she says.
A fire can burn for months before the firefighters deem it "out." Out means there's no heat left on the scene and no chance of re-ignition.
As of press time, the Monument fire was 98 percent contained according to InciWeb. Highways often act as containment lines, but a strong fire can jump over two lanes of tar.
Outside of Sierra Vista, Ariz., Hall's team had a close call when the fire front leapt over the highway and flared up 50 feet to create a tunnel of flames around their truck. "In the sense that we all love what we do, it was kind of neat," she says. "But then we get back to the airport and find out how many structures were lost, and all that adrenaline goes away."
The No. 1 priority for all firefighters is saving people and buildings from harm. "Watching a fire race down a hill and take out 80 structures, you feel so helpless," Hall says. "You feel like you're there to help, and all you want to do is stop that from happening, and there it is happening in front of you."
Occasionally people believe they can wait out a fire without leaving their home despite evacuation orders. This move endangers their lives, as well as the firefighters who have sworn to protect them, Hall says.
"The government can say evacuations are mandatory, but we can't come and force you out of your house," she says. "I don't care how great a garden hose you have on your roof, it's not going to help. We've got airplanes and big helicopters and hundreds and hundreds of people and huge fire engines, and we're not doing as much good as we want to."
When the heartache and frustration get overwhelming, Hall reminds herself of why she chose this job six years ago.
"I get paid to work in the forest. I get to play in the woods for money," she says. "We get to go to some of the most beautiful places on the planet and see them and actually go into places that a lot of people don't get to see."

Study shows that people organize daily travel efficiently
(Phys.org) —Studies of human mobility usually focus on either the small scale—determining the origins, destinations and travel modes of individuals' daily commutes—or the very large scale, such as using air-travel patterns to track the spread of epidemics over time. The large-scale studies, most of which are made possible by the vast data generated and collected by new technologies like sensors and cellphones, are very good at describing the big picture, but don't provide much detail at the individual level. Smaller-scale studies have the opposite characteristic: Their findings generally can't be scaled up from the individual to be applied broadly to populations.
But a new study led by MIT's Marta González bridges that gap. It uses big data and the methodologies of statistical physics and network theory to describe the daily travel behavior of individuals, behavior that holds true at the larger scale of the entire population of two cities on different continents.
The study, published in the May 8 issue of the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, shows that people in Chicago and Paris make their secondary trips—those in addition to their primary commutes—in a consistent and expeditious manner, using only 17 of more than 1 million possible trip sequences for up to five secondary locations.
The most important aspect of the study, González says, is that because the 17 trip configurations hold true across the board, they represent "motifs" in network theory. Motifs are patterns that occur with such frequency that the statistical probability of their random occurrence is negligible. The motifs indicate that the study has uncovered a simple, basic principle that can be applied broadly in more complex models.
"The existence of a motif means our predictive model can be based on a relatively simple mathematical formula rather than on more complex econometrics that try to account for all the different types of human behavior," says González, the Gilbert Winslow Career Development Assistant Professor in MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE). "For a physicist, this is key. With our model, we can now add drops of complexity—such as the types of secondary locations—to get a more complete picture."
Christian Schneider, a postdoc who is first author on the paper, calls the model the "perturbation model."
"Once a person does a single 'flexible' trip beyond the primary commute, they are 10 times more likely to make an additional flexible trip rather than going directly back home. So I say they're in a perturbed state," Schneider says. An example is if a person goes from work to a restaurant, they will then be more likely to go for dessert at another establishment than they would be if they had gone home for dinner.
Another pattern emerged from the data: With the addition of each flexible trip, the number of possible trip sequence configurations increased exponentially, but the number of configurations actually used did not increase by much, if at all. So for a single flexible trip (three locations total), only three of five possible trip configurations are used. Add a location and only four of the 83 possible configurations are used. With five locations, people again use only four of the now 5,408 possible configurations. Six locations offer 1,046,991 possible configurations, only four of which are actually used. In each of those cases, the three or four chosen configurations are used by 90 percent of commuters in both Paris and Chicago.
"The motifs tell us that people seem to travel quite efficiently," Schneider says. If a person returned to the home location between trips, the total travel time and distance would be much larger. Additionally, people seem to plan ahead, thus they avoid revisiting a location."
The research team—which also included Vitaly Belik, a former CEE postdoc, and Thomas Couronné and Zbigniew Smoreda, research faculty at France Telecom—used Paris cellphone data for 154 days and a Paris travel survey covering a single day. The researchers used one day's data taken from a Chicago travel survey.

we discussed our goals with her and when something new came in that matched us perfectly she contacted us. I thought that was just amazing on her part, now we're getting our dream piece because she was so thoughtful! And while we were there Liz wasn't pushy at all. Liz made us feel very comfortable, and after dealing with dozens of furniture sales people over the last few months she was a breath of fresh air
Charlie Dilnot
Wilson's is not one of the big box stores, it has been in business for many years. Business passed down family lines. Sales rep. Jessica listened, has experience in interior decorating, great customer rapport, we also met owner. Simply a positive belief of a genuine client/company relationship. Delivery crew Jacob and Tony did their utmost of a two story delivery to ensure furniture not marred, truly a back breaking job. As humans we are quick to complain but not always as quick to compliment. Y…

2 heads (cabbabge) kimchi, chopped (divided use)
1 lb pork, diced (I used boneless rib meat)
4 cups cooked, leftover rice*
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon Maggi seasoning
Place the pork, soy sauce and 1 cup of the leafest bits of kimchi (and any expressed juices) in a resealable container. Refrigerate overnight.
In a nonstick pan, heat a bit of oil. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, sesame oil and Maggi seasoning. Pour into the pan to form a flat omelette. Flip once. Remove to plate and slice. Set aside. Place your leftover rice and the chopped kimchi on the countertop.
Heat a bit of oil in a wok or tall sided pot. Add the the pork mixture. Add about a cup of stock or water if the mixture is too dry.Cook for about 20 minutes or until tender. By the end of the cooking time, all liquid should have evaporated. Add the rice and stir fry for a few minutes. Add the kimchi. Cook until all ingredients are warmed through.
*It needs to be leftover! I just make a batch the day before I want to make the kimchi rice.

King's evil and the royal touch
In the Middle Ages it was believed in England and France that a touch from royalty could heal skin disease known as scrofula or the 'king's evil'. Scrofula was usually a swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck caused by tuberculosis. The practice began with King Edward the Confessor in England (1003/4-1066) and Philip I (1052-1108) in France.
Subsequent English and French kings were thought to have inherited this 'royal touch', which was supposed to show that their right to rule was God-given. In grand ceremonies, kings touched hundreds of people afflicted by scrofula. They received special gold coins called 'touchpieces' which they often treated as amulets.
By the late 1400s it was believed that you could also be cured by touching a type of coin called an angel, which had been touched by the monarch. After angels ceased to be minted in the 1620s the same effect was said to be achieved by touching a gold medallion embossed much like the old coin.
Some monarchs touched many people. King Henry IV of France touched up to 1500 victims at one time. The last English monarch to carry out this practice was Queen Anne, who died in 1714, but it continued in France. Louis XV touched more than 2000 scrofula victims and the last French monarch to do this was Charles X in 1825.

GCH have been a little quiet as of late, but here's some ammo from their The Papercut Chronicles II album that dropped last year. Read More
When their debut album, Papercut Chronicles, dropped way back in 2003, Gym Class Heroes were the most promising rock/hip-hop crossover act to hit the scene. Half a decade and a whole load of shit songs later, that potential has quickly disappeared and long-time fans just don't know how much longer to hold on to GCH's golden age.
The first album was made when the quartet was young, hungry, different and contemplative (even if it was the drugs forcing the thinking). Travis McCoy, the lyricist and songwriter, was a witty wordsmith and delved into interesting high-school related topics that hadn't really been tackled in the laid-back-yet-edgy style GCH made so popular. The second album, As Cruel as School Children, proved to cause a huge falling out with their fans – mostly because of the tacky lyrics and sappy choice of song themes.
GCH's latest, The Quilt, has been anticipated for a long time, as fans and haters alike wanted to see if Gym Class would complete the rare artist turnaround or become, for lack of a less cliché word, sellouts. Sadly, Gym Class threw away most of what their fans adored most – passion – and they ended up falling to sellout status.
The new album features guest appearances from unlikely collaborators Busta Rhymes, The-Dream and Cool & Dre, which exemplifies GCH's transition to hip-hop as of late. Even with some Cool & Dre production, the album's production seems to all sound the same, thus causing songs that aren't even related, to fall into a bucket of forgettable lyrics by Travis.
Trust me on this – it's hard to hate GCH, because they have this certain appeal that you just want to root for them, but their new album truly makes it hard. Whether its their transition into the radio realm with tracks like "Peace Up/Index Down" and "Cookie Jar," or Travie's growing lack of creativity, they just don't seem to be doing this thing for the right reasons anymore. A perfect example is an interview done with the other three band members (besides Trav) during the cliché club shoot for their video for "Cookie Jar," when one is asked what they think of the video concept – and he says "It's…(5 second pause)…fun!"
Whether it's the money or the lack of drugs in their system, the GCH we once knew have fallen off in a big way. But, if you're looking for some mindless happy jams, check out "Cookie Jar," "Home" and "Drnk Txt Rmeo" from The Quilt.

Tesco is one of a number of high-street brands which have been engulfed by the horsemeat scandal, forcing it to withdraw products from its shelves.
The retailer has moved to take a proactive response to the scandal, led by its chief executive Philip Clarke, who has appeared on a video blog, describing measures the supermarket chain has taken in response to horsemeat being found in some of its own-brand products.
Tesco Food News is one such measure, a Tesco-branded website that looks to demystify the food supply chain and includes a number of lofty pledges, such as "We'll put in place better controls" and "We'll bring food closer to home."
It also gives details of the testing of its food provenance and how many products have been tested positive for horsemeat.
The site includes the video interview with Clarke, which is fronted with the headline, "We are changing" and is to be updated with news on an ongoing basis.
The website was created by digital agency Zone.Follow @johnreynolds10

The Solid Hard Wood Advantage
Quality materials are important to the longevity of your bathroom vanity. Cheap vanities made with particle board, MDF, and chipboard from big box stores can sag, warp, split, discolor, and expand over time. This is especially true in humid climates, such as the environment found in a normal bathroom. Since bathroom humidity is so common, bathroom vanities need to be extremely durable. They also need to be strong enough to endure lots of usage-based wear and tear. Vanities are typically made of furniture grade plywood, MDF, birch, rubberwood, or oak. Generally the quality scale looks like the best quality is oak, plywood, birch, wood veneers, rubberwood, MDF, with partial board being the least.
Solid hardwood vanities made from oak, plywood, rubber wood, and birch are without question the strongest, most durable, and most resilient of all vanity materials. Only the highest-quality and best made vanities are manufactured from solid hardwoods.
Premier Collection
Vanities that are marked as Premier Collection are the best vanities in the industry where no expense has been spared. These are the best vanities money can buy made from small quantities of handpicked solid hard woods that are hand finished to perfection. To be considered part of the Premium Collection the vanity must get A+++ grades in: Wood used, Interior Construction, Counter Top, and Finish.
Wood Used
Premier Collections uses Kiln dried wood in small batches to insure proper drying to prevent cracking and warping. All wood is cared for in great detail to prevent cracking and warping so that your vanity looks as good as they day it arrived for many years.
Vanity Tops
Premier Collections vanities that have stone tops use a thicker stone, up to 3cm (1cm more than industry average), providing a more luxurious look. All of the vanities with stone tops are sealed to prevent watermarks and minor stains.
Premium Collection vanities use solid hard wood box framed construction that provides strength and durability for decades and do not contain any MDF, particle board, or chip board. All vanities have working drawers with able storage made with slide ball bearing drawers and or soft close mounts.
Premier Collection vanities are all hand stained and hand painted, using up to a 15 layer sealing and finishing process to avoid future fading, cracking, or peeling.

"Where do I belong?", it was a great project, implemented by OTI International. The project, which was taken part in Romania, was again a good point for me to meet extraordinary people from 7 countries, discover new insights about their culture and how people from those countries deal situations like integration of refugees and inclusion of their own co-nationalities which may be disabled or facing rough times. The organization team did an amazing job regarding time management and using key resources for offering us a pleasant time and enrich us with all their know-how. I highly recommend you to attend future projects with OTI International if you have the chance.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Juan Manuel Marquez face off during the official weigh-in for their much-anticipated fight Saturday in Las Vegas. Mayweather weighed in at a few pounds over limit...
And they are looking at the scale, right?
Mayweather had no problem striking his best vogue and "no homo" poses with Marquez and promoter slash former boxer Oscar De La Hoya. This was a far cry from his appearance earlier in the week on Chelsea Lately to promote the bout. During the interview, Mayweather made random jokes about watersports, cross-dressing and gay sex. It all started "when Chelsea told Mayweather to get comfy and put one of his legs on the chair," reports Cyd Ziegler at Outsports, who offers this transcript.
MAYWEATHER: If I do that then they gonna think I'm heeey [flip of the wrist]. That ain't my style.
CHELSEA: I don' think anybody thinks that about you.
MAYWEATHER:: Oh, OK.
CHELSEA: You talk a lot of trash before you fight somebody, right? You like to really…you didn't like Oscar de la Hoya at all.
MAYWEATHER: Well, um, you wouldn't like a man who wears fishnets.
CHELSEA: I don't like men who wear fishnets, unless they're gay and they're out of the closet. Then I can support that.
MAYWEATHER: OK, he hidin'.
Mayweather randomly implied actor Eddie Murphy is gay, too.
MAYWEATHER: Eddie Murphy does some great movies.
CHELSEA: Are you good friends with him?
MAYWEATHER: Not good friends with him. We cool. I see him at the NBA Championship game. I see him every now and then. And we speak. Cool guy.
CHELSEA: But you're not good friends with him?
MAYWEATHER: Not friends like that. I mean, he made good movies.
CHELSEA: I got the movie part.
MAYWEATHER: Why you gotta say that?
CHELSEA: Nobody thinks you're sleeping with Eddie Murphy.
MAYWEATHER: OK, gotta stay clear.
Maybe that could explain this blind item that has appeared on a few gossip blogs. Oh and of course there is always this. Or another case of the lady doth protest too much?
Watch the weigh in and, via Outsports, the interview on Chelsea Lately, WHEN YOU JUMP.

Remember CarandDriver's April Fools' prank? The one that made the magazine relevant for the first time in years? It's caused NASCAR to set down the Natty Light and consider a future without not-so-Big Three sponsorship.
While manufacturer sponsorship doesn't provide the majority of NASCAR's funding - that honor goes to mainstream sponsors like Mello Yello — it is a key part of the race series' equation. Manufacturers like GM and Chrysler provide funding for racetracks, key engineering know-how and parts. There's also the historic connection between NASCAR and the manufacturers; 17 cars wear Chevy badges at NASCAR's top level.
Car and Driver, not recently known for either humor or relevance but benefiting from a revival under new EiC Eddie Alterman, reported President Obama had ordered Chevy and Dodge out of NASCAR as part of an April Fool's Day prank. NASCAR didn't get the joke, with many teams, fans, executives and assorted rednecks believing the news.
That shock has apparently awoken the above parties to the real possibility of losing the support of two brands most closely associated with going fast and turning left and instead relying on the support of newcomers like Toyota. While NASCAR claims it'd survive both financially and emotionally, we get the feeling that they're pouring a little cheap beer out for their homies at the not-so-Big Three. Humor's always best when it causes the target to get all introspective, thus proving they never really got the joke. [via NASCAR]

Clearing, Depository and Settlement Dep. (CDS)
The Clearing, Depository and Settlement Center (CDS) is an integral department of the Palestine Exchange (PEX), which is registered as a public shareholding company. Being a central depository for the safe keeping and maintaining of securities on behalf of issuing companies, CDS plays a vital role in complementing capital markets institutions. It seeks to deepen and strengthen this role by helping to attract investors and investment institutions from Palestine and abroad.
To consolidate its mission of serving shareholders, investors and stakeholders, CDS provides a reliable, safe, competent and easy to use infrastructure, in line with international standards. This enables it to clear, settle and transfer ownership of securities, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the Exchange. This infrastructure will also render the services provided for investors more compatible with their wishes and expectations. Since the executed transactions in the trading system appear on the CDS system of the PEX immediately, CDS is an integral feature of the PEX trading system.

7. Executing the securities settlement on the second working day (T+2) once the cash settlement is finally processed..
8. Calculating trading transactions fees required from member brokerage firms.
9. Calculating the cash settlement fees due on brokerage firms.

19. Issuing International Securities Identification Numbers (ISIN) for listed companies according to ISO 6166.
20. Providing online balance inquiry service for investors to enable them to inquire about their balances in companies listed in PEX through its website.
Processing the Cash Settlement through the PMA
Based on the Cash Settlement agreement that was signed with Palestine Monetary Authority (PMA) on 13/02/2013, the CDS started on 03/03/2013 processing the cash settlement between Settlement Banks on behalf of brokerage firms through the RTGS system (BURAQ) at the PMA.

To issue irredundant, unique identification number (consisting of 15 cells) by which the investors can execute all their transactions at the PEX and obtain all available services even if they hold multiple personal identification documents.

Let's Hear It for People Who Sweat and Get Dirty!
Posted by Jim Gunshinan on January 30, 2014
I worked as a janitor at St. Camillus elementary school after school and in the summers when I was in high school. I enjoyed the camaraderie with the other high school kids I worked with, and the crusty Dutch man who was our boss. We cleaned every afternoon in the school year and on weekends, and then painted, cut the grass, and did maintenance on the heating system and other equipment in the summer. We took pride in our work, but we also had fun—once in a while playing a game of eraser hockey in the Camellia Room, when it wasn't set up for a school event or a wedding reception.
But working as a janitor gave me my first taste of how people who work with their bodies are treated in our culture. A teacher at the elementary school asked us to set up chairs for a meeting. I want 20 chairs. You can set up 5 rows of 4, or 4 rows of 5… Maybe she talked that way because she was used to talking to first graders, but I felt she was being condescending. There were other incidents. Cleaning up after wedding receptions was the worst. We tried to keep the bathrooms spotless, but people seemed to use the sinks and toilets from afar, if you get my meaning. It was as if they new that some poor schmuck was going to clean up after them, so they didn't care. Poor schmucks don't need to be treated with respect.
I haven't worked with my body for a long time. When my wife and I decided to redo our kitchen cabinets, I remembered how valuable a professional painter can be. They have all the right tools, and the experience to get the job done right, and efficiently. It took us way too much time and effort because we didn't have the best tools and did not know how to do the job efficiently. Because someone does physical work, we can think there is nothing going on upstairs. But people develop their craft by reading, listening, asking questions, trying things, and watching others do the work. To do good work efficiently requires a lot of thought, experimenting, rethinking, and practice. Plus, the person picking up your garbage may have a PhD in Philosophy!
I think that one of the reasons that the home performance industry has not nearly reached its potential is that people in general don't value the work of people who crawl in crawlspaces and attics. We consider people who sweat and get dirty to be less than professional. So why would we invite them into our houses?
Am I completely off base? What do you think?

Was a dam hard work to collect them some years ago, so MC Laser decided to rip them, and then he gathered them on CD-Roms. He's still working on this project (issue 7th should be available soon).

Whoever first said "never interrupt your enemy when he is committing suicide" must have been in politics.
It could have been Jerry Brown, who has been living by that pearl of wisdom for about the past two months.
In his first web commercial, Brown laments the millions being spent by his Republican opponents in attack ads. In reality, the intra-party brawl has given his campaign new life.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Not long ago, during the California Democratic Party convention in Los Angeles, Brown was starting to sound desperate. eMeg was pouring it on with television spots touting her background in business and her rendition of all that was wrong with the state. A few polls had popped up showing she was not only 50 points ahead of her Republican rival, Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, but she would beat Jerry in a head-to-head match up in the fall. Brown issued a first-ever pre-primary "threeway debate" challenge between himself and the two Republicanss as a way to get some free media. Didn't work..
But then Poizner started getting worked up. Team Poizner fought back with some of his Silicon Valley fortune. The onslaught, fueled by the return of illegal immigration as a debate topic, has not let up.
As Governor back in the 70s, Brown once pontificated that "sometimes the best action is no action at all." Such has been his strategy. He's been mum on every issue. He's staying out of Poizner's way while he bludgeons eMeg on being in favor of "amnesty".
Jerry's folks hope Poizner will be the nominee because they are convinced he is easily beatable. They need to be careful on that. His father, when facing re-election for governor in 1966, thought his most difficult opponent was going to be then San Francisco Mayor George Chirstopher. Brown and the D's spent money to help defeat Christopher in the GOP primary. They were successful. Christopher lost the nomination to an actor named Ronald Reagan.

A child struggling with a bipolar disorder is often highly gifted, but may have difficulty making transitions, and may have co-morbid syndromes that make him or her distractible, inattentive, anxious or very perfectionistic. He or she may also be sleepy from medications or may be having cognitive difficulties as a result of them. Frequently, children with bipolar disorder have associated learning disabilites and executive function deficits which make it extremely difficult for them to organize and break things down and accomplish complex tasks (we will discuss these executive function deficits in more detail).
All of these co-morbid conditions, medication issues, known and unknown learning disabilities and organizational deficits complicate a student's acquisition of knowledge and adjustment to academic demands.
When one also considers that these children have an illness which causes their ability to focus and energy levels to wax and wane (often according to the season) it's not hard for parents and educators to realize these children need special accommodations in school.
In creating the type of education you want for your son or daughter, you must keep in mind that although all the children we are discussing here have bipolar disorder, each child is an individual with different social, emotional, and academic strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, their educational needs may vary from one season or school year to the next.
This section is intended to help parents, teachers and the educational team ease the strain for the child struggling with these issues and to ensure a comfort level that allows these students to learn, benefit, and excel in the academic environment.

I went to the peace march today with my 3 kids and David, the kids' father. I really enjoyed the march. The marching band was awesome. Was it the Noise Brigade? (Forgive me for my ignorance.) I saw a lot of familiar faces, a lot of fellow activists from many peace marches in the past. I was touched again by the love of the people of San Francisco and their dedication to end the war. God knows I love this city. It's not the best place to raise kids so I don't plan to live here as much as I otherwise would. But I can really relate to the spirit of San Francisco.
I was born and raised in Moscow. I've lived in many different cities since then. I loved many of them, but San Francisco is more intimately close to me, even though there is so much that needs to be healed and changed here. Having been deeply immersed in the hippie culture of the Grateful Dead tour and other jam bands, and having allowed it to deeply heal and change my life, I can say that I feel one with the hippie spirit that is still alive in this city even if disguised and hidden. The city streets reflect our internal moods. I see a lot of pain here. Yet behind the sadness and the vulnerability of this city there is so much love. There are so many loving and giving people here. Their smiles, their affectionate words, the love light in their eyes are so hope giving, so magical. We are only human, no more and certainly no less. It's so inspiring to see people come back to these peace marches. We haven't given up. So many people went back to apathy and denial. But not everybody. There are still a lot of people who are determined to manifest the dream. The crowd is so mixed, different races and nationalities, marching together and singing for peace. This is my dream come true. I used to dream this beautiful colorful crowd singing, chanting, expressing anger and sadness, demanding peace on earth. This is the beginning of the world that I've dreamed of creating.
My favorite part of the march was a huge flag made of different flags that was carried horizontally by, I believe, "Latinos contra la guerra" (Latinos against the war). Happy music was playing and children were happily running and jumping under that big world flag. More and more kids joined the fun as the march progressed.
I don't know if this was originally intended or was it spontaneous? But what a powerful statement, our children together under that big flag representing unity and happy coexistence of all nations. The big flag was raised and lowered every so often making the kids under it scream in ecstasy. Carrying the front of the flag was a Latino man with a warm smile and a T-shirt that read:"Nadie es illegal" ("No one is illegal") I am so proud of San Francisco's pro-immigrant-rights stand. Our city is really in touch with what it means to be human. San Franciscan peace movement is not divided on the very important issues of immigration, gay rights, women's rights.
We are strongly pro-human. Human spirit is deeper and bigger than nationality, gender, and sexual orientation. If you are in touch with the human spirit you will not get stuck in the shallowness and ego-centeredness of discrimination. Discrimination is a blatant sign of soullessness, of being out of touch with your own soul and the souls of others. I love San Francisco for its soul.
And there was also something that deeply upset me, as always, at so many of these peace rallies. I have a lot of respect for Richard Becker, the main organizer of ANSWER. He always has something sincere and real to say. This man definitely knows compassion. His voice and his words always touch my heart. But I have to say that I don't always care for his choice of speakers. Some of them are great, and others make me sick. I am sure many people will get mad at me for saying this, but it makes me sick when a mother of a soldier gets on that stage and starts playing victim and blaming Bush for her son's death. How would you people feel if a Nazi mother got on stage and started playing victim? Well, what's the difference between the Nazis and the US Military? I will tell you one big difference. The Nazi soldiers were drafted, many against their will. The US soldiers enlisted voluntarily. They sold their souls for dollars, for college degrees (supposedly), for comfortable sofas in front of TVs, for status quo. Or is it that their rage against the world was so blinding that they believed pathetic transparent lies told by Bush? What kind of values would you have to be raised with to believe that it is right to carpet bomb people because of one bad guy who is supposedly hiding there? Obviously, American lives are by far more important than any other lives. Is this not fascism? So here is this mother who sent her son to kill people overseas. Don't tell me that she didn't know he had a gun on him when he went. She though he would go to war, murder thousands of people, come back covered in medals from head to toe and she wouldn't even have to pay his college tuition. She had it all planned out. If her son returned unharmed she would be proud of him and continue voting for Bush, I bet. But as it turns out when you kill people they don't like it. And sometimes they kill you. What a surprise! I suppose Bush was supposed to explain to her that in a war people don't just kill but can also get killed.
Look, I have compassion for the soldiers too. I understand that anyone can make a mistake. But I only respect the soldiers who take responsibility for their mistakes and who come back and become peace activists. I have no respect for soldiers who murder innocent people and expect everybody to respect them and feel sorry for them because they didn't get away with murder.
As for military mothers, I have some questions. If your son joined the gangs and murdered people in your town in order to pay his college tuition would you be proud of him? What if he joined the biggest gang in the world called the US military and murdered a lot more people but overseas, then what? Oh, well, then the picture is totally different. He is a hero and you are a victim, right?
What kind of abuse did you put your son through that he thinks nothing of picking up a loaded gun and aiming it at a human being he had never met before? If he did this in your town his behavior would be called sociopathic. He would be on the most wanted list. But he put on a military uniform first and then murdered a bunch of people. Oh, yeah, this is called "patriotism". I was raised in communist Russia. The concept of patriotism was so exploited there, it was to the point that people felt like puking whenever they heard that word on TV or radio. I learned very early that "patriotism" equals "fascism".
What is "patriotism", really? Does it not imply separation from the rest of humanity? Does it not imply division based on nationality? Does it not imply putting your nation above other nations? Then how is it different from fascism? The only difference between Nazi German army and the US army is that the US army hasn't been officially exposed yet. Hitler is dead and his regime has fallen. Bush (or should I say Cheney?) is still alive and the regime hasn't fallen yet. But believe me, as soon as Bush regime falls (and it will happen) his deeds will be in the history books right next to Hitler's deeds and his army will be right next to the Nazi army. Germany learned from its mistakes. German people took responsibility and because of that were able to change and transform into a much more peaceful nation. They are still paying life long pensions to Jews who even remotely suffered from the holocaust. And that is great, such level of responsibility.
America needs to find its heart and its true power. True power comes from the heart, it comes from love. America needs to stop lying to itself and playing victim. Many Americans have already transitioned to that place of power that comes from the heart. But it will take a nationwide awakening for America to be able to live at peace with itself and with the rest of the world.
