Hell is Marley & Me. Rarely has a holiday confection been as thoroughly rank as David Frankel's adaptation of John Grogan's memoir about his life with Marley, a Labrador retriever whom he dubs "the world's worst dog." But, you know, not really the worst, because at heart he's just a naughty little cutie who, despite eating furniture and attacking obedience school trainers and destructively scampering about, gives his owners the pure, unadulterated love only a pooch can afford.
Frankel's film operates in three modes, all of them eye-gougingly saccharine. First it functions as porn for dog lovers, as vapidly pretty journalists John (Owen Wilson) and Jennifer Grogan (Jennifer Aniston) adopt a puppy to prepare for parenthood, and immediately begin enduring all sorts of wacky canine misbehavior that the smitten filmmakers wring for every last drop of adorability. Suffering through this calculating smushy doting is chore enough, but Marley & Me enters a truly unctuous realm once John and Jennifer have kids, since the difficulty of acclimating to parenthood coincides with the couple's personal crisis. He wants to be a serious newspaper reporter and not a successful autobiographical columnist, while she decides to be a housewife, developments that mutate the proceedings into a grating sitcom version of Revolutionary Road.
Listening to the comedically neutered Wilson and dramatically incapable Aniston bitch and moan about their chosen circumstances is enough to make one sprint to the exit, but doing so would mean missing what may be the year's most shameless and appalling sequence, in which—spoilers ahead!—Frankel cuts back and forth between the misty-eyed oldest Grogan son watching home movies of himself with Marley, and John standing at Marley's doctor's-office deathbed, the lethal injection IV tubes rammed right up into the frame's foreground. The indecency doesn't stop there, however, since Marley & Me then concludes with a front-yard funeral in which the three Grogan kids read letters to their deceased pet and then throw them on his blanket-wrapped, grave-encased corpse, a bit of vomitous melodrama to cap off an exploitative tearjerker that runs 125 minutes but, in Marley years, feels like an agonizing eternity.

I am drawn to books which weave memoir with nature writing, combining literary, social and cultural histories with personal experience. The success of Helen Macdonald's H is for Hawk reflects what seems to be a fairly recent resurgence of texts that merge life-writing and nature. Ghost-written celebrity autobiographies often top the bestselling lists, but books which complicate aspects of life-writing and weave cultural and literary narratives alongside personal memoir are, I think, becoming an interesting antidote to generic biography.
The two books which I refer particularly to are Macdonald's account of training a goshawk and Olivia Laing's To The River, a travel memoir which narrates a source to sea walk of the River Ouse in Sussex. Published in 2011, Laing's book had somehow slipped under my radar but reading it immediately prior to H is for Hawk, I was struck by the blending of autobiography, literary allusion and a socio-historical study of landscape which both authors adopt.
Macdonald and Laing are both haunted by literary predecessors, lending their texts a sense of homage to those who have gone before. In H is for Hawk, Macdonald's personal account is woven alongside the experiences of T.H. White, a writer known for The Sword in the Stone, whose own account of raising a bird of prey is documented in his book The Goshawk. Laing's narrative is steeped in Virginia Woolf and her last walk into the Ouse in March 1941. Here, the river is revitalising and destructive, running simultaneously through both life and death.
Both women are writing about a time of grief which led them to immerse themselves in the natural world. For Macdonald, the trauma of the death of her father causes her to retreat from human society in to the wild world of the goshawk, whilst the breakdown of Laing's long-term relationship leads to a pilgrimage-like journey along a river that holds both personal and literary significance. As such, both texts seek solace in something older and bigger than a mere individual; the natural world that was here before and will remain after life has ended. The life of Helen's goshawk and Olivia's river runs far deeper than human experience and the writers lose themselves in their vast expanse. Laing writes of her pleasure at swimming in the river and 'abandoning myself to something vastly beyond my control'. These writers turn away from the present and retreat in to the wild to cope with their trauma.
But the nature in these books is not one of Wordsworthian wonder. It isn't a landscape that one looks out at, awestruck and inspired. It is earthly, vicious, feral, unpredictable. It is all-consuming. Despite the patterings of humans, the river pulls onwards through its winding course, the hawk beats its wings. Crucially, the worlds inhabited by these writers, and by us all, are made sensible through our experiences. At the end of H is for Hawk, Helen reflects upon her journey with the hawk: 'In my time with Mabel I've learned how you feel more human once you have known, even in your imagination, what it is like to be not. And I have learned, too, the danger that comes in mistaking the wildness we give a thing to the wildness that inhabits it.' When we slip into the wild discomfort of nature, we do so with human perceptions, human reactions and through human experience.
Virginia Woolf is known to have loved walking and wrote vociferously about its curative impact. At the end, she walked knowingly to her death and slipped quietly into a river, leaving her walking stick behind on the bank. The river continues to flow, but Woolf has gone. She lives on not through the flowing waters of the river, but through memory, through her writing, through the endurance of human emotion and sentiment, even after death. As these writers mediate their grief, they seek solace in the comfort of other writers, of other lives, of other traumas. Shadows are often cast in books by those departed and these are no exception; Helen's father, Olivia's former partner, Virginia Woolf and T.H. White all linger just beneath the surface.

Audubon Beach Nesting Bird Stewardship
Location: mainland beaches in Harrison (and sometimes Hancock) counties
Coordinating Agency: Audubon Mississippi Coastal Bird Stewardship Program
Contact Name: Molly Folkerts
Contact Email: email@example.com
Contact Phone: (228) 285-0449
Audubon Mississippi is in need of volunteers to help protect vulnerable beach-nesting birds during the breeding season. Volunteer "stewards" are needed throughout the season, but most importantly during the 4th of July holiday. Volunteers can sign up for shifts to protect nesting Least Tern and Black Skimmer colonies. Stewards act as colony sentinels, preventing disturbance to the nesting birds and chicks, while also educating and interacting with beach-goers to promote awareness of the threats to beach-nesting birds.
Multiple opportunities are held each summer to recruit and train new volunteers. As the 2018 season approaches, check out our Facebook page for events!
Shifts for stewardship are posted on our volunteer website periodically during the summer months, as needs demand. To sign up for shifts and receive emails on upcoming opportunities, make an account on our volunteer website: https://app.betterimpact.com/PublicOrganization/fb88f60d-ae22-4234-a99a-51c2607450d9/1.

I WAS saddened to hear Carl Pearson, Head of Regeneration at Coventry City Council, hawking new-age 'self-affirming' 'life-coaching' courses from the Pacific Institute to staff in his own and partner organisations at a cost that would keep a pensioner in heating for three years!
If the council can find £2000 pounds per person for them to have some American 'lifecoach' course then i would suggest that our hard earned taxes are being misused.
The Investment In Excellence program was invented by Johnnie Johnson, a former American Football player and estate agent who took worked with the founder of the Pacific Institute, Lou Tice, a former middle school teacher, to find new ways of parting gullible weak-minded people from their cash.
If they must invest in this clap-trap then surely they can go to the library and borrow a 'self-help' book aimed at such confused and misguided people.
A sample of their hippy ethos: "We possess powerful resources that allow us to help the entire world. We know that nothing happens coincidentally, and individually and collectively we can achieve our desired future" - it sounds almost cultist!
I am disgusted that Coventry Council sees fit to waste tax payers money in this deprived city in such a manner. If these people lack confidence, vision and self-awareness that i would strongly suggest that they shouldn't be in the job in the first place!
In fact, there are plenty of Coventry kids out there who do not have these issues who would greatly appreciate the opportunity to put this city on the right track!
I understand the need for staff training, but may i suggest some traditional job and management training that might teach them what their roles are rather than buying into this new-age rubbish from modern-day snake-oil salesmen.
I myself used to deliver public sector management training and can offer to undertake the job at a fraction of the outrageous cost.

When I was somewhere in my late teens (my brain says 19, but my logical structure thought process isn't convinced), I had tonsilitis and glandular fever at the same time.
It wasn't fun.
Not even close.
I didn't leave the house for a long while.
Illness is a weird thing. Given the right circumstances it can induce some sort of weird catharsis when coming out of it, and enlightenment whilst in the grips of it. I was barely able to function for the first couple of weeks of that time, but as soon as it loosened its clutches around my (absolutely pain drenched) throat and neck, I had to find ways of passing the time.
My dad had 2 Oxford English Dictionaries, the 'shorter' versions I'd guess they were called, but, there is still in excess of 3,500 pages of it, full of words, quotes, icons, figures of mythology and history, information, so, of course, whilst delirious with illness I decided to set about reading both of these, AND took notes to boot. Many pages of mad scribbles, illegible sentences made up around these words that were intended for insane song lyrics, some of which made it, some formed the basis of the idea for one of the earlier bands I started, Tangaroa (a name found in said books), and some of which I still have now, some took up finality in the piece I wrote 'Day One Promise', but most still languishes, unfinished, un-used.
It opened up a whole new world though, gave me some kind of focus to keep on going each day, as well as maybe also making me feel like I was experiencing some kind of psychosis at the same time.
Somewhere else around my late teen state, I had a wisdom tooth out, and was laid up for a long while with a massive square jaw, lots of pain and at least two weeks of house-bound time to pass. I seem to remember some similar kind of psychosis and catharsis engulfing me, but I can't quite grasp what happened this time. Weird how your brain can block some times out. Even though I know I was there, it all definitely happened, but I just can't unblur the facts.
I've been off work for what is now coming up to three weeks. I've had physical illness, but deeply seated in there also is just pure exhaustion and utter depression. I just don't feel like I can fight all the shit anymore. I just don't feel like running, or even walking, or even crawling in stages up the hills. If this is the catharsis that I'm going to garner from this situation then I'm very much not impressed. If this is the great light at the end of this particular tunnel then I definitely got on the wrong fucking train at the start of the journey! However, I'm not going to argue, I just don't have the energy, and it would do me no good, so I'm just going to accept things, once again, and I'm still listening to The Orb from a few hours ago, and I only managed a couple of hours sleep, and tomorrow is another day, and things can only get better and whatever world full of clichés I can muster up to help me get through.
I feel quite gutted that D:Ream made the 'things can only get better' line so horrible to say out loud though. At least Brian Cox is now up to something a bit more impressive these days.
It's going to be a long day I feel. I might just have to go back to bed and try to sleep some more.

Well, you can't say we haven't had an eclectic lineup of entertainment in Hagerstown over the past month: Don Imus, Don and Mike, Carrot Top, Willie Nelson. If you're hot for a who's who of dysfunctional entertainers, there's no need to leave the city limits.
There was a little more riding on the Don Imus/Don and Mike radio broadcasts, because their shows go to millions of listeners nationwide.
And in both cases, local hotels took it on the chin. Imus spent the night here, staying in the presidential suite ("maybe it would be good for the president of Chile," Imus said) of the Best Western. Imus said he recognized the sheets from the last time he was here and said as a general thing he didn't like hotel carpets that squished.
Don and Mike took out their venom Monday on the Ramada Inn, or more specifically, Barracuda's nightclub where they were scheduled to play one of their filthorama, "Las Vegas-style" shows. Problem was, two minutes before the show, the Barracuda's management apparently told the radio team they could still do their dirty show, it just couldn't be dirty.

Buying a new furnace is a major purchase. It's not a decision you want to make hastily on a cold Sunday in January. A little research will go a long way to help you find the furnace and contractor best suited for the job.
Just as important as the furnace itself is the quality of its installation. In BC there are codes to follow for the venting and gas fitting, but there are no standards for the actual installation of the furnace itself. Here are some steps to help ensure your new furnace is installed properly.
Always use a natural gas contractor who is licensed with Technical Safety BC and employs certified gas fitters. They should also be bonded and insured, offer you a warranty and provide references and follow-up service.
You can find contractors meeting these criteria through our Trade Ally Network directory. As an extra step, check to see if the contractor is in good standing with the Better Business Bureau.
We recommend you get three quotes before deciding who will do the work. Ask each contractor to inspect your existing system. Each should provide you with a detailed quote listing all of the work to be performed, as well as the cost. Remember, the best price is not always the best deal. A low price could be an indication the contractor may take shortcuts.
These extra steps during installation will help maintain furnace longevity and help it run as efficiently as possible. Hint: a good contractor will have provided details of this work on the quote.
Tapered transitions – tapering these transitions between the plenum and the top of the return and supply air ducts can help reduce noise and electricity consumption of the furnace's fan motor.
Two pipes are better than one - high-efficiency furnaces can be vented directly through an exterior wall, instead of the chimney. The venting should be double-piped, one pipe for fresh air intake and the other for exhaust. Both pipes should be vented to the outside together. A properly sized two-pipe system helps with overall energy efficiency for the home, is quieter and reduces the chance of maintenance and combustion issues.
Pleated 2 - 4 inch filter - ask if your ductwork can be modified to fit a two to four inch pleated filter. Pleated filters improve air quality, as they are more effective than fiberglass or reusable types at filtering particulates. And thicker pleated filters have more surface area than one-inch types. This results in quieter operation, furnace longevity and electrical energy savings. Turning vanes, just upstream of the filter, also help to introduce the return air to the entire filter.
Matching or compatible thermostat - to achieve the full system performance of your new furnace and to maximize the overall comfort of your home, ask for a furnace compatible (or matching) thermostat. These mini-microprocessors allow for quick recovery and can offer more precise, even heating.
Sealed joints - have the contractor seal the joints on the exposed ducting with approved foil tape or paint-on duct sealant to prevent heat loss in the duct joints.
Tipped to drain - high-efficiency furnaces have double heat exchangers that extract heat from the combustion exhaust. Once the heat is captured, the remaining condensate turns into acidic water. If not drained away from the furnace, a buildup inside the furnace could lead to premature equipment failure. Your contractor will install the furnace to ensure the condensation drains away from the furnace.

"The Price of Admiralty" by John Keegan
Oceanic naval history, with the usual in-depth Keegan look at a few case studies.
First, Trafalgar. British strategy during the Napoleonic era was to maintain a strong presence in the Mediterranean, specifically so that France would also have to split its own forces to defend the SE coast. Nelson was slightly outnumbered when a combined French/Spanish force left the Mediterranean to support a pending invasion of the British Isles. Nelson gambled on superior British gunnery and surprised the enemy with basically a point-blank rough and tumble fight. His great realization was that the typical battles of the day, with each line of ships firing volleys across long distances, didn't really work. The only way to produce a decisive battle was to close up and really get in their face, with Marine sharpshooters and boarding parties. The ships themselves were more or less unsinkable by cannon, unless a powder room was hit. He understood that effective Naval warfare was necessarily a man-killing business. Nelson's ships started upwind, then "crossed the T" of the French-Spanish line, risking the initial broadsides to their unprotected bow, but the poorly trained gunners missed. Once Nelson was in the midst of the enemy, the situation was reversed, with British broadsides pointed to the French bow and aft.
I don't have much to comment about Jutland. Now weaponry really was of the ship-killing variety. The battle seemed really confused … well, I guess Trafalgar was too but that was kind of by design.
At Midway, the U.S. really had some incredible luck. The morning was not going well — several U.S. attack waves were dashed on the Japanese carrier defenses. Then, yet another wave managed to catch two carriers right before they were sending off an attack of their own. Their fighter cover had been temporarily landed and was refueling when the U.S. dive bombers struck, unopposed. Four Japanese carriers were sunk, at a cost of the Yorktown. Truly a turning point in the Pacific War. Amazing how naval warfare can be so governed by chance… it really is just about probabilities, and "calculated risk."
Finally the Battle of the Atlantic, of course not a single battle but rather the drawn out U-boat campaign to cut off British shipping. The Germans had tried the same thing during WWI, where 378 U-boats has sunk 5708 ships, 1/4 of global tonnage at the start of the war. But, increased wartime building meant that total tonnage in 1918 actually exceeded that of 1914. The campaign was thus a failure. The second time around, Donitz came up with the wolf-pack strategy to counter the Allies convoys. The logic of convoys was simple and probabilistic. The hard part about submarine warfare was finding a ship to torpedo. If all the Allied ships go on their own, then there are far more targets for subs to find than if they joined together to form a single (large) target. Even if a lone sub found the convoy, it still wasn't likely to torpedo more than one vessel, as the escorts would quickly move in and drive off the sub. The wolf-pack idea was to coordinate the submarines actions and hit the convoys from multiple angles at different times, so the convoy was pretty much under attack during much of the voyage, at least during the portion when it was in the "air gap" with no land-based air coverage. The intermittent attacks, every few hours over several days, must have been terrifying and incredibly wearing for the merchant marine.
Keegan ends with his opinion on the undisputed king of future naval warfare: submarines. Even the mighty aircraft carrier plays seconds fiddle. Carriers are the undisputed masters of the surface; but they are exposed to many threats, including to submarines. Keegan predicts a multiplicity of submarine types to follow the pattern of specialization which occurred with ironclad surface ships. It makes me wonder what's going on in the secret drawing rooms of naval strategy now. Unmanned technology has progressed quietly undersea just as it has in the air… I could see large swarms of automated, unmanned subs (each one basically a "smart" long-range torpedo) doing some incredible devastation to a convoy. Like, sinking all the ships at once. The twice-failed German strategy may succeed on try #3, for some navy, somewhere.
"Neptune's Inferno" by James D. Hornfischer
The deep bass of this audiobook's narrator (Robertson Dean) sounds like the Navy personified. I was forced to adjust the equalizer on my car stereo so as to not be blasted away by sheer manliness.
After Pearl Harbor, it looked like nothing could stop the Japanese advance across the Pacific. The US Navy finally started the push back earlier in 1942 at Midway, and that push was definitely well underway after the Guadalcanal campaign later that year. The war was still new so there were lots of mistakes, but the Navy got lucky, fought hard, and denied the island to the Japanese.
The US had discovered (via a leftover Australian "spotter" on the island – those guys really were the gutsy ones) that the Japanese were building an airfield on Guadalcanal. If they succeeded, it meant a clear path on to Australia. So, the US landed a superior force of Marines and took the airfield, which they rechristened Henderson Field, but everyone called it Cactus and the planes that flew from it the Cactus Air Force. Planes launched from an unsinkable airfield were already certain death to navies.
Now the tables were turned on the Japanese – they recognized that they needed to force the Marines out if they were to keep on with the advance. The next few months were an all-out effort to reinforce and resupply the Japanese troops still on the island via a fast destroyer night force dubbed "Tokyo Express," along with neutralizing the airfield with cruiser and battleship bombardment. The US Navy's job was to stop them, and they generally did.
Here's an interesting and darkly humorous lesson learned for the Navy: a practice of the time (and probably now) was to cross-train the sailors on many different jobs in order to have ready replacements when needed. So far so good. But, battle doctrine dictated that each sailor report to his battlestation when in battle. Ok, still sounds alright … except, when a surprise attack came, a game of musical chairs ensued — chances were that most sailors were not at their assigned battlestations when attack came; precious minutes were lost scrambling across the ship and changing the guard at each and every station. Hopefully naval doctrine was adjusted after a few of these occassions.
A key advantage the Navy had was radar-assisted gun control. You always hear about how radar was the savior of the Battle of Britain earlier in the war, but I never really realized it was critical to the Navy as well. Particularly during Guadalcanal, where most of the major engagements were at night. It was a tricky business being able to illuminate the opposing ships via searchlight or star shells without giving your own position away. With radar, the Navy silently kept track of all around it.
Of course it wasn't that simple. Target misidentification and friendly fire during night engagements was still a big deal and not quite worked out. Also lots of the captains and admirals didn't understand the advantage provided by radar or were not quite ready to trust the infant technology.
What won war in Pacific (per Halsey): "If I had to give credit to the instruments and machines that won us the war in the Pacific, I would rate them in this order: submarines first, radar second, planes third, bulldozers fourth."
Finally, though this book didn't discuss it I gotta throw out a link to this awesome article I recently read about mechanical computers on-board the Iowa class battleships — not yet in existence during Guadalcanal, but the other heavy surface ships surely had something similar.
"The Face of Naval Battle" by John Reeve and David Stevens
I selected this book thinking it would be like the similar-sounding title from Keegan, but I was sorely disappointed. This is really a collection of essays, all from different authors. The first essay – by the lead editor, I presume – does acknowledge the link to Keegan and states that they are trying to produce a similar picture from the naval point of view, but I don't think many of the other authors got the message. Only about 5 out of 17 seemingly randomly selected essays in the book are even remotely close to the desired theme — a look at what naval battle is/was like for the common sailor.
Even these 5 essays are mostly memoirs of some captain or another – interesting and informative, but perhaps one-sided and definitely not from the common sailor's perspective. Anyway, some of the essays were interesting and there were assuredly some recurring themes. Mainly, life in the Navy at war is one of long periods of boredom and anticipation, followed by intense, relatively brief periods of extreme action, danger, and consequence.
Perhaps more so than in the land army, sailors can develop very close bonds with each other in times of war. (And they typically empathize more with the enemy navy that they do with their own landed counterparts!) Perhaps this is illustrated best by the crew members of the SMS Emden, detached from von Spee's squadron for a remarkable career of independent raiding in the Indian Ocean at the outset of WWI. This is a cool story in and of itself, but the thing that blew me away was that the majority of the survivors after the war changed their name to include the suffix "Emden" — they were a family.

For years now, the marketing and media world have been preoccupied with millenials – getting to grips with the 'Me, Me, Me Generation'. There is now a new generation that deserves attention – Generation Z, ie those born between 1996 and 2010 – who are guardians of the future and valuable consumers too.
This generation is often talked about interchangeably with their generational neighbours, the millennials but, through spending time with both cohorts, we have identified clear distinctions between them, many of these differences stemming from the contrasting worlds in which they've grown up.
Gen Z has grown up during a unique time, during a new wave of political and social turmoil, where poverty is more visible than ever, with terrorism taking on cruder forms – and everything is magnified by the power of online. Many in the West have watched parents struggle through the 2008 recession and in many places around the world these conditions persist, posing huge challenges for Gen Z themselves as they reach adulthood. Layered on top of that is the crisis of climate change, our planet's ailments are growing and Gen Z care – it is their future. We have all lived through this time of change but for these young people it is the only world they have ever known.
In contrast, millennials grew up in a time of boom and plenty:
- They were more indulged and near sighted in comparison to Gen Z who are more far sighted and self-motivated – aware there is a world beyond theirs that they need to be conscious of, contribute to, find their own way in.
- There is a brashness about millennials, assuming all will be fine – or at least that has been the case until recently, when they too have been hit by the new reality. In contrast, and unsurprisingly given the world in which they've grown up in, Gen Z are a somewhat anxious generation, focused on conscientiously equipping themselves for the challenging times at hand and ahead.
- Entrepreneurship is a dream for both generations but for millennials it was to succeed big; Gen Z envision an entrepreneurial working life, prioritising time for them vs money.
- In an era of growth and success, millennials had it tough in terms of the expectations of others as they were growing up; failure at school, in sport, in social groups was not an option. Gen Z have been educated to believe in failing forward, not being fearful of failure but seeing it as an opportunity to learn
- And the boom and plenty spread to digital behaviour; social media emerged as millennials reached teens and adulthood; they over shared and paid for it! Gen Z have learned from Gen Y's mistakes – more frugal in their sharing, more privacy conscious.

Godspeed ended up being the exactly what I imagined they would be 8 years ago. A dark and brooding orchestral force. Also worth mentioning were the visuals. It was like watching an old artsy film put to the perfect soundtrack. This photo best illustrates what I'm talking about. My only complaint for this show was that in my dreams back in 2003 they played both Moya and East Hastings.

Hi bellsmama07, were you ever able to get an answer to your question? I just posted a similar question and saw yours. I've been taking Buspar for about 3 months now. Just recently in the past week I've been experiencing "brain zaps" that feel like electrical pulses through the brain. When they occur I become startled, uncomfortable, and it causes anxiety and confusion. Did you ever start Buspar, and is so, have you experienced these "brain zaps"? I'm trying to figure out if it's the Buspar causing it and what I can do to stop it.

YACHTS (Buy CDs by this artist)
Yachts (Radar/Polydor) 1979
Yachts Without Radar (Radar/Polydor) 1980
Liverpool's Yachts were capable of alternating a scaled-down version of pomp-rock (faster, more cheaply tricked out, no instrumental exhibitionism) and '60s-influenced rock with leader Henry Priestman's cheesy organ sound. And that in the service of humorously melodramatic caricatures of the usual boy/girl lyric fodder: love by letter ("Box 202"), unfair romantic competition ("Yachting Type," "Semaphore Love," etc.). Despite sympathetic production by Richard Gottehrer, Yachts sounds a bit tinny, and the group was unable to equal their mini-classic Stiff debut single ("Suffice to Say"), though the potential to do so is evident.
Not being taken seriously because of funny lyrics may have taken its toll; on Without Radar, the jokes and even the previously solid songwriting sound as thin as Martin Rushent's uncharacteristically poor production.[Jim Green]

Hollywood Celebrities Kick Off National Walk for Epilepsy
Hollywood celebrities, sports stars and a music legend will join thousands of people for the third annual National Walk for Epilepsy on the National Mall on Saturday, March 28. The Pre-Walk Rally begins at 8:45a.m. The event, hosted by the Epilepsy Foundation — with financial support from Ortho-McNeil Neurologics®, Division of Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.— is devised to raise awareness of epilepsy, raise funds for much needed programs for people with epilepsy and help in the search for a cure.
Heroes, chairs the event for the third year in a row. He also serves as a spokesperson for the Epilepsy Foundation in honor of his son, Jake, who has epilepsy. New York Jets offensive lineman and seven-time Pro Bowl player, Alan Faneca, and Atlanta Falcons running back Jason Snelling, both diagnosed with epilepsy as teenagers, will be part of the walk and leading their own teams of friends, relatives and fans. These athletes at the top of their game demonstrate that people with epilepsy can break through barriers and achieve their dreams.
Every year, exciting new features are added to the Walk to educate the public about the condition; empower those living with epilepsy to take charge of their health; and encourage camaraderie and a festive spirit within the community. This year's new attractions are a children's play tent, a live band and a large, educational presentation that includes interactive displays and consulting physicians.
Also new this year, Walk participants and the general public are invited to a benefit concert featuring seven-time Grammy® winner and music legend, Gladys Knight at Constitution Hall on Saturday, March 28 at 8pm. Tickets will be available through TicketMaster.com soon.
"We are grateful to have so many celebrities inspire the crowd by bringing their families and friends to the Walk and courageously share their personal experiences with epilepsy," said Eric R. Hargis, president and CEO of the Epilepsy Foundation. "Their support has helped to increase donations and make this Walk the world's largest event to raise awareness of epilepsy."
The Walk, which takes place on the first day of the national Cherry Blossom Festival, is slightly more than two miles, and winds throughout the scenic area surrounding the National Mall. In the last two years, the National Walk for Epilepsy has engaged more than 13,000 walkers and raised more than $2 million.
For more information or to register for the Walk, visit http://www.walkforepilepsy.org/. Pre-registration is required and costs $35 per adult walker and $20 for each child 12 and under.
About Epilepsy
When a person has two or more unprovoked seizures, they have epilepsy, which affects 3 million people in the United States and 40 to 50 million people worldwide. This year, another 200,000 people in our country will be diagnosed with epilepsy. To date, there is no known cure.
About the Epilepsy Foundation
The Epilepsy Foundation, a national non-profit with affiliated organizations throughout the United States, has led the fight against epilepsy since 1968. The Foundation's goals are to ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences; and to prevent, control and cure epilepsy through services, education, advocacy and research, so not another moment is lost to seizures. For additional information, please visit www.epilepsyfoundation.org.

China's Great Wall Motor Company has said it is interested in bidding for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which owns brands including Jeep and the truck maker Ram.
"With respect to this case, we currently have an intention to acquire. We are interested in (FCA)," the company official in Great Wall's press relations department, who declined to give his name, told Reuters over phone.
In a separate report also published on Monday, Automotive News said that Great Wall had contacted FCA to express an interest specifically in its Jeep brand.
A company official confirmed it was pursuing all or part of FCA after the US publication Automotive News reported that a "well-known Chinese automaker" had made an offer this month, triggering a jump in FCA's Milan-listed shares.
"With respect to this case, we currently have an intention to acquire," a statement from Great Wall said on Monday. "We are interested in [FCA]."
I think Great Wall Motor is eyeing a global strategy, not just the United States.
Sergio Marchionne, chief executive, is seeking a partner or buyer for the Italian-American group to help it manage rising costs, comply with emissions regulations and develop technology for electric and self-driving cars. An acquisition by Great Wall Motor would be audacious, and one of China's highest profile manufacturing deals to date.
Earlier on Monday, two sources said Great Wall Motor had asked for a meeting with FCA, with the aim of making an offer for all or part of the world's seventh-largest carmaker. Citing an email from Great Wall's president, Wang Fengying, Automotive News reported that Great Wall had contacted FCA to express interest specifically in the Jeep brand.
The industry publication said the Chinese company had not made a formal offer or met FCA's board. Automotive News quoted a spokesman as saying: "Our strategic goal is to become the world's largest SUV [sport utility vehicle] maker." "Acquiring Jeep, a global SUV brand, would enable us to achieve our goal sooner and better [than on our own]."
FCA shares rose 3.9% to €11.12 in early Milan trading, outperforming a flat market. Great Wall Motor shares were up almost 3% in Shanghai.
Fiat Chrysler plants in Mexico may close if Trump enacts import tax, CEO says

FCA was not immediately available to comment on interest in the group.
Yale Zhang, head of the Shanghai consultancy Automotive Foresight, commented: "Jeep is the most logical choice since (Great Wall) wants to be the largest SUV maker in the world." Ram could be an option, he added, but "the Jeep brand is recognised globally. I think Great Wall Motor is eyeing a global strategy, not just the United States."
A move for FCA or one of its main brands, if successful, would allow Great Wall Motor to accelerate a planned push into the U.S. market, the two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
They said Great Wall Motor had been making plans for some time to enter the U.S. market, mainly by upgrading some of its key products and improving branding.
The company this year launched its Wei brand of potentially US-market-ready vehicles. Wei is the surname of the Great Wall founder and chairman Wei Jianjun.

Sweet and Sour Pork – from 500 Chinese Recipes, by Contributing Editor Jenni Fleetwood
3 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp Chinese rice wine
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/4 lb. pork loin, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
9 tbsp corn starch
1 carrot
1 red bell pepper
4 spring onions (scallions)
9 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
sunflower oil (for deep frying)
2 tsp. finely grated garlic
1 tsp finely grated fresh root ginger
4 tbsp tomato ketchup
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp cornstarch, blended with 1 1/2 cup water
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 tbsp of the soy sauce with the rice wine, sesame oil and pepper. Add the pork and toss to mix. Cover and chill for 3-4 hours. Meanwhile, cut the carrots, pepper and onions into shreds and set aside.
Combine the cornstarch, flour and baking soda in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and mix in 2/3 cup cold water to make a thick batter. Add the pork and mix well.
Separate the pork cubes and deep fry them in batches of hot oil for 1-2 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels.
Mix the garlic, ginger, ketchup, sugar, remaining soy sauce, rice vinegar and corn starch mixture in a small pan. Stir over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Add the carrot, red pepper and spring onions, stir and remove from heat.
Reheat the deep frying oil and then refry the pork pieces in batches for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain and add to the sauce and toss to mix well. Serve solo or with egg-fried rice and noodles.
Tiramisu – from Coffee by Mary Banks, Christine McFadden and Catherine Atkinson
1 cup mascarpone
1/4 cup icing sugar, sifted
2/3 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
1 1/4 cups double cream
3 tbsp coffee liqueur, such as Tia Maria, Kahlua or Toussaint
4 oz Savioardi (sponge finger) biscuits
2 oz bittersweet or plain chocolate, coarsely grated
cocoa powder, for dusting
Lightly grease and line a 2 lb. loaf tin with plastic wrap. Put the mascarpone and icing sugar in a large bowl and beat for one minute. Stir in 2 tbsp of the coffee. Mix thoroughly.
Whip the cream with 1 tbsp of the liqueur until it forms soft peaks. Stir a spoonful into the mascarpone mixture, then fold in the rest. Spoon half the mascarpone mixture into the loaf tin and smooth the top.
Put the remaining strong brewed coffee and liqueur in a shallow dish just wider than the Savioardi biscuits. Using half the biscuits, dip one side of each biscuit into the coffee mixture, then arrange on top of the mascarpone mixture in a single layer.
Spoon the rest of the mascarpone mixture over the biscuit layer and smooth the top.
Dip the remaining biscuits in the coffee mixture and arrange on top. Drizzle any remaining coffee mixture over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours. Carefully turn out of the tin and sprinkle with grated chocolate and cocoa powder. Cut into slices to serve. (four servings)

So anyone who knows there memes might recognize the title of the article as being a "pushing patrick" but it's still a rage inducing topic.
Obama to Congress: Kill oil industry's tax breaks is an AP article on yahoo.
If you aren't able to tell from the headline, let me summarize the articles content. President Obama want's to end tax breaks for oil companies, and thinks we should give them to "green energy" companies.
"They can either place their bets on a fossil fuel from the last century or they can place their bets on America's future," Obama said.
Funny thing I actually think the President is on to something here, too bad he got off at the wrong exit.
There's two reasons to support ending tax breaks. 1) To save money. 2) To keep a level playing field.
Even though federal discretionary spending is a small budget off the annual deficit, when you have a $15 trillion deficit and growing, it's more of an attitude than ability thing and you have to start somewhere.
Plus if we want to do this whole "tax the rich, fair share" thing, shouldn't the marketplace be fair too? All industries pay the same tax rate regardless of industry or profit size. That way the things people actually want to buy and support will survive and those that don't will have learned valuable lessons to apply next time.
If green energy is that important and impactful it will find work, however if it doesn't fit or viably work, then you are a damn fool to think you can make it fit.
On top of that, as i've said before what difference will it make if in 20 years we have simply replaced the "big oil" cronies and lobbyists, with the "big green" cronies and lobbyists? ("Big Green" doesn't quite have the necessary sinister ring to it, so the floor is open to better suggestions).
I thought the hope and change message of 2008 was to transform the way business was conducted in Washington DC. I suppose we misinterpreted that. Rather than changing "how" business is done, we want to change "who" business is done with. Nobody to blame but ourselves right, (except most people can't even do that still, but that's a story for another time)

cheney - the gw admin - murderers
after the 1st gulf war - which i actually supported the
US involvement in, believing that we as the only superpower
left had a moral duty to keep smaller countries like Kuwait
from being bullied by genocidal monsters like saddam - which
at the time i did truly believe he was potentially another
hitler - anyhow. when it ended and saddam retained power, i
just kinda tuned out. i believed 1000%, and have to say
that the events of the son's administration have convinced
me i was right all along, that saddam was kept alive and
allowed to retain power for one reason: so the motherfuckers
could throw another war down the line.
i remember in 2000 how i had to work late, and i didn't
really want to leave the house to vote, but i HAD to,
because if gw was president he was going to throw a war.
just knew it, knew it, knew it.
they have fulfilled and exceeded my scaredy-est qualms,
from the early '90s to the year 2000. they have murdered
americans here and abroad. they are secretive, soulless,
murderous warmongers.
they must be taken out of office.

The Blog | Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Progress is Possible Again | The Huffington Post
The Blog | Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Progress is Possible Again | The Huffington Post
had to tell the Speaker what to do,
cause she's so slow...and i went on
for 155 words too many for the huffington post.
oh well...:
dear ms pelosi, that's all fine and dandy but there's a couple things
you GOTTA know!
1. You must get rid of this rogue administration!
all this blathering about investigations then impeachment etcetera
is unbelievably frustrating.
as you go along getting ready to investigate issues THAT have
been very ably investigated and reported upon over the course
of the past SIX years, these idiots, these murderous criminals,
are poised to put us into WWIII.
did you notice that as gw begins his escalation of a
war that SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE 1ST PLACE,
the USA suffered its deadliest single day over there in hell.
these are our children killing and being killed to satisfy
a naked, twisted emperor who will not STOP unless he is made to STOP.
you gotta do this, for the country and for the planet, Ms. Pelosi.
2. You need to work on rescinding the lawless "laws" that have
been put on the books - you know the ones. the ones that strip
US citizens of their constitutional rights. the ones that
indemnify these war mongering murderers from having to pay
any consequences for their numerous crimes.
3. You need to reopen an investigation into 911. a REAL and
TRULY independent investigation; not that pitiful BS panel
peopled by bush whores publishing lies.
I am pretty certain that all members of Congress have known
for a good long time that the official version of what
happened on that day is bullshit. Please be the democratically
controlled congress that actually penetrates and exposes the
ugly truth that has been for years turning the democracy of
our forefathers into a corporate fascist state run by cold
blooded killers whose greed is so overwhelming it takes
my breath away.
So, a good start. I appreciate your work. For less than enough
money to live i work 5 days a week, 8 to 9 hours a day...i'm 51 -
\my daughter was murdered in 2001 - i'm single and struggling
like hell to raise a 14-year-old here in southern california.
and my president has spent a full YEAR out of the past six years
on his frigging ranch, while afghanistan and iraq and the WTC burn,
while new orleans drowns, while WH staff commit treasonous acts,
some of which they try to justify with their absurd, insulting
interpretations of executive powers, plenty more that are kept
a secret from the people of the US with the full - unconscionable
and equally criminal - assistance of the whores who call
themselves journalists these days.
i never thought i'd be so impassioned with regard to the political
situation in this country. i mean, i hated nixon, i did - but
i reacted with apathy, i was young, raising a family, all
that shit. i used to believe that democratic or republic, the people
in charge respected that they served a government "of, for, and
by the people" - and the whole time what they were doing was
undermining it in any way possible, enriching themselves obscenely
all the while.

dear nancy pelosi
dear nancy pelosi
to rep pelosi and all of the members of congress:
the only way to have a shot at retaining your seat is to do
the right thing. end the war impeach charge convict and imprison
the war criminals. refuse funding for any more money to be
thrown at the war profiteers via a spending bill that
includes money to fund the illegal action and occupation in iraq.
Defend the constitution, or forget about holding public o
ffice in the future. Represent your constituency, the a
merican people, or lay down and open your legs like the
whores we will know you are if you keep hedging and
allowing the travesty of the gw administration to hold
power one second longer than necessary.
can it really be true that the lawmakers of this country
have not noticed that the bush administration is a ROGUE a
dministration who is not only ruining the good name of the
USA throughout the world but is waging war by innocents
upon innocents, and appears hell-bent on perpetuating a
state of war indefinitely? which they are doing for their
own greed?
the environament is being trashed; the middle class is
going away. the national treasury has been and is being
looted scandalously.
and he's mentally ill! everybody told him to get out,
start preparing to withdraw, and what does he do? throws
another 20,000 bodies at iraq! it is very plain to me
that until you GET RID OF him, and cheney, and rice,
and so on and on, death and destruction, shame and grief,
will be the order of the day for this once great country.
thank you

Baghdad Year Zero (Harpers.org)
Baghdad Year Zero (Harpers.org)
one of the best articles i have read at explaining
where the shit comes from, and how it rolls downhill.
thanking a fellow DU'er for posting the link i
kinda lost it:
what a great article, and it explained a lot that til
today i did not get. i mean i got that the neocons had
invaded and occupied for greed, but this articale
illustrated so well the toll that homicidal greed has demanded.
i scream that because i do agree with the original poster:
it will not stop. he's going to do it without consulting
congress. between the "catapulting the propaganda" and
campaigning for a living, this bastard just doesn't have
the time for respect or adherence to the rule of law, which
is what has kept this nation together and prosperous thus far.
not only does he have no clothes on, his skin is purulent with
the weeping sores of hatred larceny greed and the mass murders
he has ordered so he could dress up like a soldier and call himself a "war president???"
every time i hear his voice it is brought home to me that much
more clearly that this man simply does not give a rat's ass: not
for the dead and wounded, not for the displaced and disfigured,
not for the needy whose lives are in peril, and ultimately,
not for the laws of this or any land. while he's pretending
to stall on making the right decision regarding this travesty of a war -
having conveniently let it leak that the citizens of the USA are
not to be informed as to who is prowling around the people's house
- and we wait like good kids for some fucking bullshit speech
(has he EVER not bullshitted his way through a speech?!) -
he's getting his fucking ducks in a row.
he has to be stopped!!!
i feel soiled and ashamed; the pure heartlessness that appears
to characterize every fucking move these bastards make
distresses me to my red white and blue soul.
once upon a time i felt truly thankful to be an american; once upon
a time i believed that although our system - of, for, and by the
people - while necessarily imperfect (considering that we are a
nation of human beings, or so i believed)- was the best upon the planet.
and look what they've done to this country, to this nation's young,
to countless innocent citizens of a previously sovereign nation that
posed no threat to the USA. goodgawd they should be drowning in
all the blood they have spilled, but instead: that goddam
motherfucker installs a different set of warmongering yesmen
and prepares to throw more and more bodies at the fire,
and nobody's doing a fucking thing to stop this madness.
i'll be in a madhouse myself before this fearsome shit settles down....
Watermark: Introduce Yourself! [Sticky Post]
So i was updating my blogroll and happened upon this
invitation to put in my .02. and now i want to
ask the same of you, whoever you may be.
I am afraid however tahgt I have been so
derelict - i have
lost many readers; never had a whole shitload
to begin with you know? so do this? okayWatermark: Introduce Yourself! [Sticky Post]What do you do that you consider
creative? Is it easy, or difficult for you?
i write, and i paint. the writing is sometimes easy which is to
say that it sometimes flows inspired - and i have spent my 51
years writing, reading, studying, etc.
at other times i must labor over a poem for days and longer -
but when i get it the way i want it, i find that i loved that labor.
painting is different - it is not hard because i don't make
it hard. i spread the paint out on the paper. sometimes i
like the result. i am not schooled or trained in art, and
continue to believe that i am primarily a writer and a poet
as opposed to a graphic artist. which makes it doubly ironic
to note that i have sold 4 paintings and while published here
and there through the years, have never earned a cent yet -
not on a poem i wrote.
also i made and raised four children and they are my greatest
What supports -- or undermines -- your creativity?
the ferment often is born in pain. but nature. gleam in my eye?
i was urged to begin painting as therapy after losing my daughter
- i suppose i would say that my own ego, my insecurity,
undermines that medium.
and even though i will tell you i am a poet and a writer, and i
will mean it, it is again my own ego deficiencies and insecurities
that undermine my writing career as well. with writing it is so
different because with writing, what i want the most of all if
for it to be GOOD, really really GOOD.
If you could give a friend one piece of creative inspiration
(advice, or a poem, or a painting, or a book, or whatever
occurs to you) what would it be
Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski:
your life is your life
don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can't beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

Silver Audio's most highly revered interconnect design. Thoroughly developed, articulate bass,
effortless transients and unsurpassed illumination of the mid to extreme upper octaves make Appassionata a true reference cable in every
sense of the word. Our thin conductor concept is taken to its practical limit by weaving eight micro-fine, Silver Silk conductors
around a pTFE air core. Micro-thin conductors drive self-inductance, the origin of the distortion inducing skin effect down to the
lowest feasible value while ensuring an incredibly low capacitance for an eight conductor cable! The visually
captivating geometry of this design is visible under clear mesh, uses a
special grade of virgin Fluoropolymer, and utilizes thin air as the primary dielectric for the most uncolored presentation of
any audio cable. Appassionata's exquisite resolution and tonal honesty mandates use only with exceptionally high quality
audio systems. RCA termination uses the stellar WBT NextGen 0110AG solid silver RCA connector. Appassionata is also
available in a balanced, XLR terminated version which allows the same compliment of "four plus four" Silver Silk signal
conductors to symmetrically cross each other for optimal common mode noise rejection and immunity to mutual inductance.
WBT 0110ag RCA:
$990.00/1 meter pair, $660.00/0.5 meter pair.
XLR/Balanced: $910.00/1 meter pair, $660.00/0.5 meter pair.
Shunt capacitance 55pf/1khz/meter single-ended, 35-55pF Balanced.
Series inductance <100nH/1kHz/meter

Hyster has a really skilled team of experts that are totally dedicated to improving their machines. Enhancing their equipment will work towards improving your business productivity, enhancing operator ergonomics, reducing our environmental impact, and ultimately lessening the cost of owning a lift truck over its lifetime. Each and every new feature which is developed for Hyster forklifts is designed with the client in mind.
The electronic Return to Center Steering is one of the key features on all lift trucks and could help to enhance efficiency and lessen the possibility of damage to products. The Hyster MONOTROL Pedal helps to keep your productivity flowing through single foot control of acceleration and direction. The hands of the operator are free to steer and to control the hydraulic levers to complete the task. The Hyster ULTIMA II Multi-function control handle has an integrated palm rest that enables the driver to control lowering and lifting functions and one auxilliary function at the same time. For accurate and smooth control during jobs, the hydraulic functions are infinitely variable.
Hyster also offers better fingertip control with the Hydraulic and TouchPoint Mini Lever systems. Aux function flow could be adjusted to the operator's preferred level on the dash display. For non-clamping and clamping arrangements, there are four and three available function valves. Better control means increased production in the long run because of greater operator comfort.
The Load Weight Display on Hyster units enables the operator to easily see the weight of the cargo on the forks. To know the load weight being raised, the Load Weight Display feature senses hydraulic pressure in the lift circuit and is essential when weight accuracy is needed.

Schwimmer joins political drama
Nothing but the Truth is the film based on the true story about a newspaper reported who reveals a CIA agent and is then sent to prison for not revealing her source. David Schwimmer is set to join Kate Beckinsale, Matt Dillon, Vera Farmiga, Edie Falco and Alan Alda in the Rod Lurie written and directed film.
Kate Beckinsale is playing the journalist and David Schwimmer is going to be playing her husband who initially supports her but then begins to resent her decision to hold strong to her principles and not give up the source. The real story had plenty of political intrigue and even involved President Clinton at one point.
This casting news comes from The Hollywood Reporter.
It marks something of a change for Schwimmer, and a good one at that, it would be great to see how he performs in such a powerful film, as after seeing Big Nothing (Filmstalker review) I thought that he really did manage to drop his Friends persona, now he just needs to keep the momentum going unlike other Friends actors, something that he seems to have faltered with on Run Fat Boy, Run.

Which Ornamental Grasses are good for Autumn and Winter?
For those looking to added some colour and life to their autumn and winter gardens many will explore the huge variety of ornamental grasses for sale. Ornamental grasses are fantastic for softening hard landscaping and using as a contrast to other plants where many varieties can also be architectural in their own right. Most gardens can accommodate several varieties, ornamental grasses coming in a wide range of colours and textures which makes them versatile for virtually all garden styles and situations. Great for sensory gardens where you will be able to hear the breeze whispering through the taller varieties. Smaller grasses can be used to compliment containers.
There are many ornamental grasses to choose from for your garden, below are listed some which we recommend adding to your autumn and winter gardens.
Miscanthus Herman Mussel
A beautiful hardy ornamental grass for growing in beds and borders. This is a large grass with floaty, ferny seed heads which are perfect for adding some gentle movement to the garden with a relaxing rustle.
Easy to grow and it is an all year round ornamental grass that requires virtually no maintenance. Grows up to 2 metres in sun or partial shade.
Miscanthus Sinensis Zebrinus - Zebra Grass
Making a foliage feature all year around with a sensational Zebra Grass effect, this recommend addition for your winter garden offers eye catching green leaves with creamy white or pale lemon yellow horizontal bands.
Ophiopogon Planiscapus Nigrascens - Black Ornamental Grass
An award winning grass-like plant with low growing tufts of very dark purple blades that actually appear to be black. Racemes of pale lilac / pink flowers appear among the foliage in the summer followed by black berries in the Autumn / Winter. Looks fantastic with other grasses and especially attractive within grouped tubs.
Imperata Cylindrica Red Barron - Japanese Blood Grass
Imperata Cylindrical Rubra is better known to many as 'Red Barron' or 'Japanese Blood Grass' and is a highly recommend, especially for it's colour, ornamental grass for the simple reason of it's vivid and unusual colours which will offer a stunning feature to any autumn or winter garden.
The foliage of this stunning herbaceous grass is quite literally blood-red, fading off to a nice shade of bright green at the base of the plant which only goes to highlight the vivid red colouration of each foliage blade. This grass will make a fantastic addition to any garden and looks particularly good teamed with other grasses and perennials.

Ever since Shanghai's last Jewish resident, Max Liebowitz, passed away in 1982, not a single Jew lived in the Chinese city, which was very cosmopolitan before the Communist Revolution in 1949 and a refuge for Jews fleeing the Nazis.
The story of Yeshivas Mir is well known. In Shanghai the kehiloh is vaguely remembered as poor refugees, in contrast to the wealthy Jews from Baghdad.
To mark Expo 2010 a Le Monde reporter set out in search of the city's Jewish past and found a few relics of the Jews' long stay still remain. In the French Quarter, which was once home to many Jews, a Mogen Dovid can be seen on the doorway of homes here and there. In the Jewish ghetto the bulldozers left a handful of Viennese-style homes intact for now.
The city's Jewish community hailed from many different locations and stayed for years. The first to arrive were from Bombay (now Mumbai), originally from Iraq, who came in the mid-19th century. By 1934 some 19,000 of the city's 39,000 foreigners were Jewish, including 700 Sephardic Jews. Of the 99 members of the stock exchange, 38 were Jewish.
"The Sephardic Jews from Baghdad played a major role in commercial life, beyond their numbers," writes the Le Monde reporter. The most famous of them was Victor Sassoon, a pilot in the British Air Force during World War I, who built the Cathay Hotel, which the Chinese communists renamed the Peace Hotel. American tourists visit the hotel as a Jewish site from a bygone world, though in reality it has no ties to Judaism.
Jews arrived in Shanghai in waves from British India in the 19th century and from czarist Russia in the early 20th century. Russian Jews fled from pogroms and from the Jewish colony set up by Czar Nikolai II in Manchuria. The czar deceived the Jews with pledges of freedom of worship, while his real aim was to settle Chinese territory with Russians. Later refugees from the Bolshevik Revolution arrived.
With the rise of the Nazis, 20,000 Jews from Eastern and Central Europe – including 2,000 chareidi Jews traveling with Yeshivas Mir – were granted entry into the port city without visas. They arrived empty-handed and had to live under trying conditions.
Dvir Bar-Gal, presented as an Israeli expert on Jewish Shanghai, described the gap between Bombay's well-to-do Jews sitting in coffee shops while smoking cigarettes, and the refugees from Nazi Europe who had nothing to eat.
The Chinese recall the decision by the Japanese in 1943 to prohibit the Jews from leaving the Viennese Quarter in Hong Kong, which turned into a ghetto. The Japanese, allied with the Nazis, stood up to the Germans' pressure to annihilate the Jewish residents, but they did tighten supervision of the ghetto upon entering the war.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese adopted a harsher stance toward Jews from every kehiloh. The Jews of Bombay were placed in camps as British subjects. Two thousand died as a result of the crowded conditions.
Among the handful of relics that remain of the only ghetto in Far East Asia is Ohel Moshe Synagogue, which was turned into a museum of Shanghai's Jewish past.

Excellent suggestion, Duncan. This is really a "must read" for anyone constructing OWL-based ontologies - or trying to decide whether they should proceed from RDF to OWL and which OWL "dialect" to commit to. It provides an excellent, accessible overview to the underlying DLs with ample pointers to more formal detail on specific issues. It is also an excellent backgrounder on issues such as expressivity, decidability, and computational load in general and the pros/cons of OWLs particular strategy for addressing these issues - with a bias toward the pros :-). I've relied on it when trying to sort out these very issues. Every time I go back to this article, I get a slightly tighter hold on the relevant computational issues. I expect to continue to absorb more from this paper in the coming months. I'd also suggest perusing this follow-up: The Even More Irresistible SROIQ. (http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/% 7Esattler/publications/sroiq-tr.pdf) Obviously, it's important to consult the current OWL v1.1 proposed spec, too: http://www-db.research.bell-labs.com/user/pfps/owl/overview.html http://www-db.research.bell-labs.com/user/pfps/owl/syntax.html http://owl1-1.cs.manchester.ac.uk/Semantics.html Given the nature of the biological world we are trying to formally represent and compute upon, I'd also suggest reviewing the other proposed extensions and design patters to supplement OWL 1.0: partonomy: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/OEP/SimplePartWhole/index.html time: http://www.isi.edu/~pan/SWBP/time-ontology-note/time-ontology- note.html This side issue being discussed related to the OBO --> OBO-XML -- (XSLT) --> OWL conversion under discussion is also a related and very important one. There are several biomedical ontologies currently only available in OBO format that I'd really like to be able to import into our BIRNLex OWL file, but I'm wary of loss of semantic info and the requirement for thorough vetting of the results. Part of the issue relates to whether what has been expressed in OBO in any given ontology really provides all the info required to support an algorithmic conversion into an optimal OWL representation. There's also the issue of whether any algorithm could make optimal use of OWL's expressivity when translating an OBO ontology. I feel like once I've absorbed all there is to harvest from these resources, I'll know at least 75% of what I'll need to know to cover me for at least a few more years out. :-) I'm sorry I missed this discussion at the F2F. I'll definitely go through the minutes.

OK, I realize that at a place named Oldies Music Legends the food might not be the top priority. I'm not stupid. Still, given the choice of eating dinner with or without Little Richard, I'll pick Little Richard unless it's been a very bad day.
I suppose you'd describe Oldies Music Legends as a supper and dance club. It's one huge slate-gray room decked out with black and white photos of the stars, lots of neon and a black and white tile dance floor. Sunday is karaoke night and sometimes local bands perform, but the main entertainment is music from the '50s to the '70s.
It sounds like a place where two middle-age women dropping by after work might feel out of place, right? Not so. Everyone from the bartender to our waitress made us feel welcome. In fact, the best thing about Oldies Music Legends -- after Little Richard and the Marvelettes -- is the staff. Friendly, incurious and low-key. You hardly touch your potato and bacon soup because it tastes like artificial bacon bits? It disappears discreetly without any questions. You ask for a wet wipe after your ribs? The restaurant doesn't have them, but the waitress volunteers to bring you a warm, wet napkin.

Content Marketing for Law Firms
How unique content and fresh ideas can grow your business
If you haven't hear the expression "Content is King" yet, you will – and soon. That's because the key to building a successful online presence is developing content that not only speaks to your audience, but does so in a way that helps build your reputation and your brand. Our goal is to give clients the content they need so that they can see the results they want.
What exactly does "content marketing" mean?
Gone are the days of in-your-face sales pitches and repetitive content. Content marketing is a holistic approach, using content as a pathway to driving your business. We help build a relationship between you and your audience through new and informative content that:
- Gives a greater insight to web users about who you are
- Establishes a positive relationship between you and your readers
- Increases brand recognition through omni-channel marketing techniques
- Allows you to streamline your website and social media content
In short, content marketing is less about the hard sell for your law firm and more about presenting what makes you the right choice and putting it in front of your target audience.
Location, location, location
Where you place each specific piece of content on the web, and how you reach your target audience with that information, is nearly as important as the information itself. We help you reach the audiences you want to reach in ways that are both educational and meaningful through targeted content. Looking to increase your referrals? Want casual readers of your divorce blog to email you with questions? Looking to increase the calls you get for drivers facing DUIs along a specific stretch of highway? Each of these goals is obtainable through targeted content development.
Once we know who you want to reach, we can start building your online presence where it will benefit you the most. Together, we build awareness of your brand through custom blogs and web pages, social media updates and online reviews.
Successful content is all about YOU
So what makes content successful? Good content is engaging, and represents you in the best light to your audience. It's no longer enough to say that you have experience; everyone out there says that. It's all about finding out what makes your law firm tick, and then matching you to the best possible candidates for your service.
The most important element of good content is the voice: potential clients should hear you, not an anonymous writer. By giving your voice to the content, we can help build brand recognition on every platform, and promote that positive experience we want web users to associate with your firm. We carry that recognition through to your:
- Web pages
- Blogs
- Press releases
- Social media posts
- White papers
- Video transcripts
We create content that is accessible and engaging, and reflective of who you are. It's one of the many ways that we help build an online presence for our clients.
Call Digital Law Marketing, Inc. today for a free consultation
To schedule a free consultation to discuss your content marketing needs, please call 877.916.0644. One of our representatives can walk you through the performance of your current website, listen to your goals, and then put together a custom marketing package that's just right for your firm.

World Schooling is a new term for me. I came across it as I joined Facebook groups for traveling families. It is an unstructured approach to "home schooling" that families use who travel. They take their experiences from traveling to educate their children. Without setting out to do this, it appears this is what we are doing! We are World Schoolers! Some people choose to supplement with curriculums, which is what we will do, but we will allow our travels and experiences help lead our education. For example, already on our road trip the kids have learned about:
History of Light houses
Lava cave formation and impact
Tide pool sea life
Yellowstone: geisers, mud pools, bison, bears, etc.
Tide tables: pull of the moon
Oregon trail
How to make a fire
Ice cream/cheese factory
Whale migration
How rock formations are made (Bryce Canyon)Hydroponics/farming
We anticipate the kids learning a ton of history on the trip South along the East Coast. We'll stop in NYC, Washington DC, Virginia, etc.
How cool is that?! The kids are interested in these things because they are experiencing them first hand. They are asking questions and retaining the information! Now, as we have been busy moving from place to place, we haven't been able to sit down and create lessons around these things, but that is the plan in the future. As we experience new things in various anchorages, we'll create lessons that are directly tied to what the kids are experiencing.
There is an awesome Facebook group of World Schooling families supporting each other. Check it out for some inspiration – https://www.facebook.com/groups/worldschoolers/
