South Sudan gains its independence today – with many more dark clouds than East Timor had at the time. Troubling reports of fighting and of mass displacements in the border regions.
East Timor's struggle against an invading force was quite different that South Sudan's. In 1998, a referendum (and a half-hearted ceasefire) was brokered. 1999 was the year the referendum, the build-up and the bloody aftermath and mass displacement of the East Timorese population.
After a horrendous scorched earth campaign which cost many lives, transferred much wealth to Indonesia, and seriously disrupted the territory, East Timorese had over 2 years of UN administration before they formally declared independence (for a second time).
I cannot help but see events in South Sudan as a sort of "pile-up" of Timor's 1999 and 2002. Continue reading

Morality is a logo you wear on your jeans. It's just a brand name for ideology, painted in neon lights and flickering in the mimicry of LCD screens.
A mother screams and everyone watches it on YouTube, you're glued, included in the cheerful masses, witnessing reality through fearful glasses. Step back, relax and get back to the facts. Get with the low-down, strip down your defenses, download new senses. Discover and create, uncover the hate, grab onto your lover and alter this state. Look at life through a clean and clear lens.
The moral of this story is this story never ends.

Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Edward Norton, Salma Hayek, et al
Let me clarify: I strongly dislike Seth Rogan. And by that, I mean I hate him. I hate the characters he plays, I hate the movies he's in, and I really, really hate listening to his voice. So I probably would have automatically liked this movie more had literally anyone else voiced the main sausage, Frank.
this article, I can't stop wondering how many actors force screenwriters to write in little character quirks to match the actor's "trademark." Ugh.
Voice acting aside (don't even get me started on the casting of Michael Cera), the movie had potential. Considering the number of Biblical epics Hollywood makes us sit through, it was refreshing to see an unapologetic representation of atheism. It was cleverly done by using food and human consumption of it as an allegory for faith and religion.
I realize how asinine that sounds considering yes, I am talking about a movie that features animated food items talking about boning each other every five seconds. The humor, while occasionally showcasing some brilliance in the use of puns and cultural stereotyping, mostly consists of dick jokes and stuff Seth McFarlane would find funny. I guess my appreciation of humor extends beyond what a stoned frat guy would find funny. But I suppose I should have known I wasn't its target audience when every preview beforehand was for a horror movie.
All in all, the movie was certainly interesting and different enough to hold my attention. I think it was quirky and silly and yes, very stupid. But also funny. Maybe I would have had a different opinion of it had I been completely stoned, much like the writers probably were when they wrote this.
Final word: It's a love it or hate it type of movie. And the ending is fucking weird.

Accessing and Using Free Resources for Teaching Fall and Electrical Safety
Click Here for Webinar
Falls and electricity are some of the most common types of hazards encountered in agriculture. This session introduces free materials that can be used to educate others about these hazards. While these materials are ideal for school agricultural classes, the curriculum, including optional interactive activities, also work well for community education. In this "train the trainer" webinar, we will explore the different types of falls experienced on farms and how to protect against them, including fall protection systems. We will then discuss the issues associated with electrical hazards and explore strategies to prevent injuries and fatalities when working around electricity. The session will wrap up with a brief overview of other free instructional materials that can be used in combination with the fall and electrical materials to create a more comprehensive agricultural safety program.

See Figure 1
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor, a sensor whose resistance changes in response to engine coolant temperature. The sensor resistance decreases as the coolant temperature increases, and increases as the coolant temperature decreases. This provides a reference signal to the PCM, which indicates engine coolant temperature. The signal sent to the PCM by the ECT sensor helps the PCM to determine spark advance, EGR flow rate, air/fuel ratio, and engine temperature. The ECT also is used for temperature gauge operation by sending it's signal to the instrument cluster. The ECT sensor is a two wire sensor, a 5-volt reference signal is sent to the sensor and the signal return is based upon the change in the measured resistance due to temperature.
See Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5
- Disconnect the engine wiring harness from the ECT sensor.
- Connect an ohmmeter between the ECT sensor terminals.
- With the engine cold and the ignition switch in the OFF position, measure and note the ECT sensor resistance.
- Connect the engine wiring harness to the sensor.
- Start the engine and allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
- Once the engine has reached normal operating temperature, turn the engine OFF .
- Once again, disconnect the engine wiring harness from the ECT sensor.
- Measure and note the ECT sensor resistance with the engine hot.
- Compare the cold and hot ECT sensor resistance measurements with the accompanying chart.
- If readings do not approximate those in the chart, the sensor may be faulty.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Drain and recycle the engine coolant to a level below the sensor.
- Detach the ECT sensor connector.
- Remove the ECT sensor from the thermostat housing
- Coat the sensor threads with Teflon® sealant.
- Thread the sensor into position and tighten.
- Attach the ECT sensor connector.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
- Refill the engine cooling system.
- Start the engine and check for coolant leaks.
- Bleed the cooling system.

They call it the Anvil. The place where metal is forged into weapons of destruction. When you see it in an astrogation virtuality, the name seems out of place. But come with me! Let me show you the null fire of pirate fleets burning the hulls of Venu warhawks in the shadow of the Warstar!"
Welcome to the turbulent worlds of the Outremer subsector, out on the Commonality frontier. It's the heart of the Rim Sector, a spectacular, violent place of feuding polities in the no-man's land between the Commonality and the Venu Empire. In the aftermath of war, everything is up for grabs: Successor States rise and fall, the new xenomorph Sentient Alliance flexes its muscles, and the Commonality and the nefarious Venu jostle for position, knowing that war could break out again at any moment.
The Mindjammer Companion includes:-History and background of the Outremer Subsector, including subsector octant maps.
The Mindjammer Companion presents material which originally appeared in the Mindjammer (Traveller Edition) sourcebook, converted and repurposed for use with the Fate Core system and Mindjammer—The Roleplaying Game. The Mindjammer—The Roleplaying Game core book is required for play.

Have you ever been told, "It's not about you?"
My guess is that you've probably even said it to someone else at some time or other. And it hurts, doesn't it? You've been told to "shut up and sit down" so often that sometimes it's just easier to…well, to back off and shut down. It hurts less. There's less conflict. It seems easier. But in the long run, it wears you down.
I'm here to tell you that it IS about you. It's all about you. All of it. The world you live in, the thoughts you think, the colors you like, the amount of money you make, the way that you feel, the job that you have, or don't have, and the people in your life. You matter. Your thoughts are important. Your opinion is worthy. You are loved.
Just because it doesn't feel that way sometimes, doesn't mean it's not true.
The truth is that you are one with the creator of the universe. You are love and joy and peace personified. You are creative and wise and surrounded by abundance. Maybe you've just never had anyone explain to you how to tap into that reality.
You can start now and your life can begin to change in an instant by following a few simple principles.
- Remember that you are not looking outside of yourself any more for validation. Other people's opinions are more about them than about you. You already have everything you need within you to live an abundant, joyful life. You are developing an internal locus of control. If your locus of control is outside of yourself in things, people, possessions, opinions, you will never find peace and joy. Everything outside of yourself is changeable and temporary. YOU are not temporary. You are eternal.
- To tap into that joy and abundance, it's as simple as plugging into your creator. Sit with your breath slowing going in and out. Over and over. Focus on how the breath feels, where it comes from, where it goes. The breath is how close your creator is…even closer, really. Breathe him in and blow out the stress, anger, loneliness, irritation, hate. Allow yourself to feel his arms around you and the love within you. Do this periodically throughout the day. When your mind wanders, which it will, just gently bring yourself back to the breath…in and out.
- List three things you are grateful for before you get out of bed in the morning and before you go to sleep at night. What you focus on increases. If you focus on what's wrong, you'll just attract more stuff going wrong. If you focus on what is good and lovely and that you are thankful for, you will find that joy increases.
Everytime you are tempted to feel hurt, offended, irritated, or judgmental, just step back emotionally and take a breath and remind yourself of who you are and who's in charge and how amazing you really are. If you keep up these simple daily practices, it won't be long before you'll see happy changes in your life.

US Navy Looks to Make Jet Fuel From Seawater
It may seem fanciful but the US Naval Research Laboratory is working on the development of a process that would take seawater and, a few steps down the line, produce jet fuel from it, via a gas-to-liquids process.
Via NRL:
NRL has successfully developed and demonstrated technologies for the recovery of CO2 and the production of H2 from seawater using an electrochemical acidification cell, and the conversion of CO2 and H2 to hydrocarbons (organic compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon) that can be used to produce jet fuel."The reduction and hydrogenation of CO2 to form hydrocarbons is accomplished using a catalyst that is similar to those used for Fischer-Tropsch reduction and hydrogenation of carbon monoxide," adds Willauer. "By modifying the surface composition of iron catalysts in fixed-bed reactors, NRL has successfully improved CO2 conversion efficiencies up to 60 percent."
Why is the Navy investigating a procedure that frankly seems a long way off from implementation? The same reason they are testing converting some ships and planes to use algae-based biofuels: Fuel supply.
If seawater could be used to produce jet fuel, either on land-based plants or at sea, a nearly unlimited supply of fuel could be sourced close to where it had to be used. To give a sense of scale, last year the Navy operated 15 refueling ships around the world, delivering almost 600 million gallons of fuel.
The Navy anticipates being able to eventually bring the cost of producing jet fuel from seawater down into the $3-6 per gallon range.
As for the green credentials, well, it would reduce energy usage in transporting fuel, presuming this fuel would be made close to the point of use, but otherwise it's just jet fuel, not any greener at all in terms of emissions.

Swami Vishwananda knows all of our strengths and weaknesses. On one occasion when a german devotee wanted to visit his parents in Bavaria, he asked Swami for some advice on what to say to them. Swami Vishwananda said, "Tell them that you love them."
About this, the devotee told us:"I knew, on one hand, that it would be very important to tell them I love them, but on the other, not easy. I then realized I had never shared with them how I felt. Swami's sole purpose is to teach us, not only during satsangs, but also in daily life. Swami Vishwananda will never miss an opportunity to teach us about ourselves. He often lets us know, patiently and in many different ways, that God is within us. Swami says that God is pure love, light and peace. And since we are made in the image of God, we also are pure love, light and bliss. God is not far away in heaven, but He is within everyone of us, and without everyone of us. How often, in daily life, we forget this simple fact, that God and Guru are omnipresent. But how nice it is to remember that God and Guru's grace is always with us. I know, through Swamiji's blessing, I'm moving faster to my ultimate goal of Self-Realization.

If you caught this post last week, you learned about my life long struggle with anxiety and depression. In the comments someone asked me how to cope with anxiety, so I decided to do a post on how I've coped with anxiety over the years.
The first two things I tried were therapy and medication at the age of 17. I think for where I was at during that time, the medication was the biggest thing that helped. I was struggling with PTSD and kind of a zombie on so many levels that as a senior in high school, therapy was more about showing up and making sure I wasn't going to commit suicide, then actually developing lasting coping skills.
When I went to college I started seeing a counselor through the counseling center on campus. *If you are a college student, I strongly recommend taking advantage of those therapy sessions! You usually get around 8 per semester as part of your tuition, but most students don't take advantage of this* My counselor(s) at the University of Florida (I had two individuals counselors over the course of my education there) advocated for me with the school to waive the cap on my sessions, so I could see them every week. It was during that time that I really started to shift the way I saw things.
[RELATED] Advice To My 18-Year-Old Self
I started to notice my internal dialogue, the signs I was on the verge of a panic attack, and began learning about positive self talk.
During my second year my counselor recommended I begin going to group counseling. This was extremely powerful for me for a lot of reasons, most notably because I've had horrible anxiety in group settings since elementary school and it really negatively impacted my ability to build friendships. Entering into a controlled (our group was closed, meaning it had a finite start and end date, the members in the group were the same every week, and if you missed more than once or twice you were no longer a part of the group, no new members were ever added) safe place. I would still see my individual counselor at the same time, which was important as I worked through a lot of my social anxiety and thoughts.
Once group therapy completed, I began going to the biofeedback lab in the counseling center. Basically electrodes were attached to my skin and I wore a finger sensor which would monitor my physical response (heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, sweating, muscle activity, etc.) as I would go through modules on this computer system specifically designed to help people relieve stress. I would do things like have to breathe "normally" to get the balloon across the screen without popping it (if I breathed to heavy it would burst, if not enough it would fall to the ground). During these exercises I finally started to realize that I did not breathe like other people. Due to the trauma as a child and young adult, I began to either hold my breath or hyperventilate. To this day I have difficulty sometimes, but I understand what is happening which helps.
At some point during college I began going to the gym with a friend which was really helpful in teaching me how to work out "normally" (I have an addictive personality and would go to extremes with working out in high school), she would take me around the gym to work on different muscle groups and get 30 minutes of cardio in. I started to feel the benefits of a healthy workout as I began taking care of my mind and body.
At some point I tried yoga, boy I could probably do an entirely different post on mental health and yoga alone! Over the years I've learned so much about the pros and cons of yoga on our mental health and how different types of yoga can effect our nervous system and mental health in different ways. In short, if you are someone with anxiety or trauma, stay the hell away from hot yoga and bikram yoga for sure (in my opinion… science backs it up too; but you will have people that swear by it).
[RELATED] I Got Fired. Twice. In A Month. – And It's Okay.
Other forms of yoga can either be really helpful, or hurtful if you don't know what's going on. Sometimes certain poses when held for long periods of time (in Hatha, Yin, or Restorative yoga) can lead our bodies to having very primal and emotional responses. This is okay (and even good for you to work through the response), it's just weird if you don't know what's happening then you start crying or having flashbacks to trauma in yoga. In short, you probably should look for a yoga class that has moderate activity, and constantly has the teacher talking to anchor you into the present, here and now. Remember the most important thing with yoga and anxiety, is to connect every movement to the breath, not push yourself into uncomfortable places to land every pose perfectly.
Over the last five years it's been a combination of using all of the above, while earning my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling. I think having an understanding and awareness of what is happening or coming up for ourselves during anxious or depressed spells if very important.
[RELATED] A Fatherless Father's Day
When we have that awareness we can talk ourselves through the experience as well as communicate it more effectively to those around us. For example, do you like or dislike to be rubbed, held, or left alone during a panic attack? When you are starting to get worked up what positive statements can be made to bring you back to the present rather than projecting and spiraling the situation? How do you feel supported during tough times?
Remember that while anxiety and depression often have a chemical imbalance associated with them, they are often symptoms of other things happening in our lives which we can develop the skills and tools to work through.

The majority of individuals that prepare to be a floral developer or floral designer love elements which are charming, stylish in addition to ingenious. A number of flower shops supply alternatives, wedding celebration event celebration Flower Shops in addition to funeral service blossom designs considering that wedding celebration along with Online Florist Shops is managing the blossom design market as well as they are called for lines for business of bloom developers. Nonetheless when it entails business of independent developer, we hardly ever find a professional focusing on the remedy of funeral designs although there are bunches of developers concentrating on and focusing on wedding celebration event decorations. Several individuals that wish to be a flower shop or flower designer passion aspects which are eye-catching, sophisticated along with cutting-edge. Wedding event party flowers do not have any sort of type of kind of specific restrictions in the type.
It is constantly a marvel to enter into a flower shop that is well equipped, fragrant, along with interest getting hold of supply. People connect flower shops with beauty, calmness, and also tranquility in addition to the solutions a person uses a Flower Shop Flowers. This results from the supply floral shops brings deal to by doing this of reasoning. The supply quickly offers The Flower Shop the environment we all like. I have had a number of incurable cancer individuals enter into my shop only to appreciate the setting, quietness, as well as peace. The store was a relaxing location that made the girls joyful. I will frequently remember those 2 females as well as the chats we had. Therefore, we must bring considerate, motivating supply. We might not neglect that mainly a flower shop brings fresh flower.
A community flower developer will certainly have an actual stock, which will certainly be revealed physically to the customer together with their actual rates. Taking into consideration that each linked flower shop is had as well as operated individually, the Web sites can only make a guess of readily offered layouts and their accurate rate. The Florist Shop demands an expense to refine each order as well as consequently pass the order to a genuine florist to implement it. The Flower Shops Delivery designer supplying as well as providing the floral obtains simply a part of exactly what remains in fact paid by the customer as well as the real worth of the order ends up being minimized in each stage of the processing.
Unlike wedding celebration occasion party events, individuals could potentially not set up clear schedule for holding this event since it is close to tough to obtain ready for that when to die No problem whether it succeeds or bad, rain or shine, individuals die one after another which brings routine orders to the business proprietor of Flower Shops Nearby decorating alternatives. Along with as quickly as it takes place, the relative of the dead ought to position order of funeral Delivery Flower Shops designer enhancing treatments rather swiftly. As a result of this situation, they can perhaps not have appropriate time for price arrangement. This is absolutely different from wedding celebration occasion floral which generally enable proper time for arrangement. In this sensation, floral embellishing company typically has a lot less problems for handling price cut price needs.

Sammy's Senior Portrait
Saturday I was very blessed with Sammy as my first senior portrait. She did an amazing job. I was so excited & anxious to actually shoot a senior who would be posing for me. It was so thrilling to work with her. She was creative, and was a natural in front of the camera. . I can't explain the rush it was for me to be able to take her photos, try new angles and try to make her look great. It's funny as a photographer I always try to get to know my clients as I photograph them. The reason is as a photographer you aren't just taking someone's photos you are capturing their soul their spirit. You are taking capturing their emotions at that time in their life. I love to to get to know all about who the people as I photograph them.
As the session went on Sammy relaxed and had fun with it. By the end of the session Sammy and I were coming up with really fun and creative poses. She is gorgeous and very photogenic. I personally think she should model. She has that "look", check her out.

My baby girl was born: Sierra Mae Styler
I took a few months off to rest up for our new precious little arrival. She came in the middle of March. I was only in labor for 8 hours and pushed for 15 minutes. What a blessing to have a birth like this.
She has made our lives so much more wonderful then we could ever imagine. What a sweet precious little baby girl. I always wanted boys (because I was a tomboy my whole life) until my darling little niece came into the world and I totally changed my mind. My heart was in love with little girls. They are so sweet their beautiful dresses and bows etc. Thank heaven for little girls!
Poor baby has colic for weeks now. It's really hard on the parents because you can't take the pain away. I have been trying everything!!! I am breastfeeding so I gave up all the things that could be causing it. God willing it may help. This next Saturday I have my first portrait session and she isn't taking the bottle well, we have been working with her everyday. I am so thrilled and excited to go back to work. But I am nervous leaving her long since she is only 7 weeks old. I am taking less work at the beginning so I can spend more time with her because she will only be this small once. My editing is very time consuming.
Please help us welcome our beautiful little girl.

Alisa J- Maternity session
Thank you everyone for checking out all my newest photo sessions.
I met Alisa and her husband a few weeks ago for her maternity session. We photographed these photos in their neighborhood. It turned out to be a beautiful location. The sad thing is I won't be able to do her newborn session since I am taking maternity leave. But I can do photos of their baby after I come back. This couple was a lot of fun. They are such a beautiful couple together. I loved taking their photos because they were up for anything really and they were super nice. I enjoyed talking to them. Alisa is a design major and works in marketing so by the end of the shoot she was helping to come up with more ideas. I know their little baby is going to be beautiful!! Anyways, here are some images that we were able to capture.

I have been slowly adding to my props collection lately. I just recently bought some newborn handmade hats. The ones above. The green hat was bought from Cricket Creations on Etsy.
Click here to view more of her work
Check out these hats below. I love them and addicted to this site. I can't believe how sweet these handmade items are. My Mom and I always made crafts so anything handmade to me is so much more beautiful because someone took the time and made them. This is the site that has tons of handmade items. You can find tons of things.
There are so many to choose from and good prices too. If you are wanting to get a newborn session, I highly recommend picking one and having it made. The prices range from $13-$30. The one I bought only took like a week or 2 to be sent to me. These are some I was thinking about getting someday. They are all so cute, I just can't decide. I linked some of them in case anyone wants to purchase these. I don't make any money from it. Just like to help others to enjoy getting their photos taken and other photographers. Click on the photo it will bring you to those sellers item.
(this is not my photography, I am using this photo as an example)

Working with the highly talented Merlin Mason we were tasked with the design and build of an online portal for Redbull's Student Brand Managers. The portal was to be used to organise and document events they manage/put on a yearly basis and to be built on Wordpress. Redbull didn't supply a lot of guidelines or direction which gave us near free reign to create our own vision of a slick web app. One set of assets they did supply was their fantastic library of Action sport Photography which we could not resist making full use of as backgrounds on the login page.

Every measure improving the use of energy is important. Even small measures have a great effect when added up. A new Energy Efficiency Agreement period in Finland is scheduled over 2017–2025. By joining the Energy Efficiency Agreement and committing to improve their use of energy, a company or a municipality is doing their part. Together we are building energy-efficient Finland.
Finland is committed to strict targets to improve energy efficiency. Energy Efficiency Agreements, chosen in cooperation by the Government and industrial/municipal associations, are a tool to fulfil the EU energy efficiency obligations set for Finland without resorting to legislation or other coercive measures.
The aim of these agreements is to improve the efficient use of energy within industry, the energy sector, service sector, property and building sector, municipalities, and oil-heated real estates.
For several years, companies and municipalities have taken voluntary measures to improve their use of energy. Since the 1990s, Energy Efficiency Agreements have been the primary tool in Finland for improving energy efficiency and meeting the strict EU obligations on improved efficiency in energy use.
Hundreds of Finnish companies and municipalities had joined the Energy Efficiency Agreements 2008-2016. As a result of the energy efficiency measures they have implemented, the annual energy consumption has in the end of 2016 been reduced by as much as 15,9 TWh. The measures reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by more than 4,7 million tonnes and unnecessary energy costs by EUR 560 million.

'NAFTA on Steroids': secret agreements to censor the Internet
September 8, 2012
Negotiators from the U.S. and eight other Pacific Rim countries are meeting at a seclude resort in Leesburg, Viriginia, working out deals in the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement that could hamper free speech on the Internet, Common Dreams reports.
The negotiations began in 2007 and have been carried through by the Obama administration and several Pacific nations under conditions of "extreme secrecy" without press, public, or policymaker oversight.
Leaked information suggests that the agreement could attempt to achieve some of the same objectives as the controversial and broadly protested Anti-Counterfeiting Agreement (ACTA) and includes rules that could hamper free speech on the Internet.
"No one has the right to trade away our hard-fought legal protections for free speech and the right to health, and much less to do it behind closed doors," said Suzanne Nossel, executive director for Amnesty International USA.
Earlier this year, Public Citizen posted a leaked document from a past TPP meeting on their website revealing that the pact will give multinational corporations radical new political powers in global trade, including the allotment of vast legal powers to multinational corporations over governments.
Participating countries include Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. Canada and Mexico are expected to join the negotiations.

By THONDUP TSERING
December 28, 2012
After 60 years of brutal repression, cultural genocide and policies aimed at wiping out the Tibetan race and nation by the Chinese government, Tibet today is in a deep crisis. As of Dec 10, there have been 95 self-immolations in occupied Tibet since 2009 and five in the exile community since 1998.
Not long ago, self-immolation was unheard of in Tibet. Of the 95 Tibetans who lit their bodies on fire in Tibet, 80 are said to have died following their protest but the condition and whereabouts of the remaining 15 are unknown. In November alone, there were 28 self-immolations in occupied Tibet. Almost all those who lit their bodies on fire have consistently called for freedom in Tibet, the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to his homeland, independence for Tibet and unity of Tibetan people.
The Chinese first took our land, then our way of life, our culture and our language. Now they are trying to control our minds by regulating what we should or should not be thinking, to whom we should pray or not pray and what music we should or should not listen to.
When people are pushed into a corner this hard, and the world too often stands by as a silent spectator, Tibetans in Tibet are forced to take drastic actions. Fortunately these have been nonviolent to others. These acts of lighting oneself on fire should be seen in this backdrop and must be recognized as part of a life-or-death struggle against the continued Chinese colonization of Tibet.
They should not be seen as suicides. There are fundamental differences between these two acts. Often the motivation for suicide is to find a way out from the unbearable pain or suffering for an individual. In this case the main beneficiary is the individual and is caused by depression and hopelessness. In Tibet, the monks and nuns, men and women, nomads and writers who have lit their bodies on fire have taken this drastic action not for themselves but for the good of the Tibetan cause.
Lama Sobha in a recorded testimony states, "This is not to seek personal fame or glory… I am taking this action neither for myself nor to fulfill a personal desire nor to earn an honor .... I am giving away my body as an offering of light to chase away the darkness, to free all beings from suffering."
Likewise, Jamphel Yeshi, who set his body on fire in Delhi on March 26, in a handwritten note states, "The fact that Tibetan people are setting themselves on fire in this 21st century is to let the world know about their suffering, and to tell the world about the denial of basic human rights."
Another clear distinction between suicide and self-immolation in Tibet is the hope and belief that something good will come out of their drastic action. In a handwritten note, Nyingkar Tashi, who lit his body on fire on Nov. 11, wrote, "My hope is for all six million Tibetans to learn Tibetan language, to speak in Tibetan, to wear Tibetan, and to be united."
The Tibetan writer Gudrub put things this way: "We as sons and daughter of the Land of Snow will win the battle. We will win the battle through truth, by shooting the arrows of our lives, by using the bow of our mind."
An important distinction between those who tie explosives to their bodies from those lighting their bodies on fire in Tibet is the fact that Tibetans are determined not to cause any harm to anyone else to promote their just cause. It is no accident that even after 95 incidents of self-immolation in occupied Tibet, not one person, not one Chinese, has been hurt, maimed or killed. This is a great testimony to the unshakable faith and commitment to non-violence by the Tibetan people.
These drastic actions are not targeted against the Chinese people but against the policy of intolerance, hatred and repression that is the hallmark of the Chinese leadership in occupied Tibet.
In my mind, the Tibetans who lit their bodies on fire are similar to soldiers going to war to protect the honor and safety of their people and country. Yes, these soldiers of Tibet, when they go onto the battlefield, don't carry high-powered assault rifles with the intent to take down their enemy, but rather are armed with compassion, courage and commitment to nonviolence and hope.
The hope is that world leaders who believe in freedom, liberty and social justice will answer their call for help. That the Chinese leadership will find the courage and wisdom to address the grievances of the Tibetan people.
They are indeed Tibet's soldiers of freedom, justice and nonviolence and that is how they should be seen, recognized and remembered.

Never Been Unloved Lyrics
Artist: Michael W. Smith
Album: Live the Life
One of my favorite Wayne lyrics of all time. I still need to hear it.
I have been unfaithful
I have been unworthy
I have been unrighteous
And I have been unmerciful
I have been unreachable
I have been unteachable
I have been unwilling
And I have been undesirable
Sometimes, I have been unwise
I've been undone by what I'm unsure of
But because of you, and all that you went through
I know that I have never been unloved
I have been unbroken
I have been unmended
I have been uneasy
And I've been unapproachable
I've been unemotional
I've been unexceptional
I've been undecided
And I have been unqualified
Unaware, I have been unfair
I've been unfit for blessings from above
But even I can see the sacrifice you made for me
To show that I have never been unloved

Chapter 80: Alchemist Liu Xi
The atmosphere in the brightly lit hall felt stifling and oppressive.
In the middle of the hall stood a table and at it's center rested a small green jade bottle. From that bottle, a faint medicine smell emanated.
Many people were seated within the hall. From their attire, it was evident that they were the many upper echelons of the Jia Lie Clan; Jia Lie Ku was also seated among them.
In the hall, on the leftmost side, reclined a white clad youth lazily against the back of a chair. In truth, the youth would have looked rather charming, if it weren't for the lust filled look frequently flashing across his eyes, degrading his image. While he reclined, one of his hands could be seen slowly burrowing into the clothes of the pretty maid beside him. Even though there were so many people around him, no one seemed to care about such an unbridled action.
The pretty maid's cheeks slightly paled with the youth's vulgar act, but she did not even make a sound. But it was clear that a trembling, restrained look was brewing in her eyes as her tender body continuously shuddered.
"This is the 'Blood Clotting Medicine' that the Xiao Clan suddenly came up with and now, our popularity in the markets has already begun to plummet." Jia Lie Bi gazed upon the small green bottle on the table with a gloomy face, acting as if he did not see any of the youth in white's rude actions.
"How could the Xiao Clan have healing medication? Could it be that they have also managed to get an Alchemist?" Jia Lie Ao, who often clashed with Xiao Yan, cast a glance at the man in white besides him before frowning and asking.
Jia Lie Bi squinted his old wrinkled eyes, an ugly expression on his face: "Does anyone remember the mysterious alchemist we met at the auction house? At that time, he seemed to favor the Xiao Clan. If this 'Blood Clotting Medicine' is refined by him, then we are in big trouble. As you all may know, that person could be a third tier alchemist."
Hearing the term third tier alchemist, the white clothed youth finally stopped the hand that was roving about the maid's body reluctantly. He stepped forward and picked up the small green bottle to take a small whiff before pouring out a little of the contents and lightly rubbing it between his fingers. With a sneer, he concluded: "A third tier alchemist? Bull. This Blood Clotting Medicine is indeed more effective than the Return of Spring Powder but based on it's quality, the person who refined it is obviously of a lower tier than me. The greater effectiveness of the medicine is due to the unique recipe."
At this information, everyone seated inwardly let out a sigh of relief. If the Xiao Clan had really obtained the help of a third tier alchemist then the Jia Lie Clan would have probably been doomed.
"From my experience, it is highly likely that the alchemist from the Xiao Clan is just a complete novice who somehow managed to borrow this recipe, from god knows where, to manufacture this Blood Clotting Medicine." On the face of the white clothed youth, there was only indifference and disdain.
"Hehe, being able to see a maker's skills from a tiny bottle of medicine, Liu Xi da-ge's insight is truly vicious." Jia Lie Ao smiled with a hint of flattery.
"It is merely one of the basic skills of an alchemist." Having been called Liu Xi with so much flattery, the white clothed youth modestly shook his head; however an obscure pleased look floated upon his face which did not manage to escape the observation of the old wily foxes seated around him.
"Although the Return of Spring Powder loses out to the Blood Clotting Medicine in terms of quality, the difference between the two isn't dramatic. The main reason why our marketplaces are losing popularity is because previously we had raised the price too much. After we reevaluate our prices our popularity will slowly return, but lowering it back to its previous cost will be challenging. After all this Blood Clot Medicine will definitely pull away many customers. It seems that in the future, the Xiao Clan will also gain a foothold in the healing medication market of Wu Tang City." Jia Lie Bi slowly muttered.
"Reevaluate the prices?" At these words, Liu Mu wrinkled his brows, evidently unwilling to cope with any sudden price reduction since he had already gotten used to the high prices.
Having seen the look on Liu Mu's face, Jia Lie Bi inwardly cursed at how brainless Liu Mu was before obligingly explaining with a smile on his face: "Mr. Liu Mu, the current market situation is unlike before. Previously, we monopolized the healing medicine market in Wu Tang City but now, that is no longer so; thus we need to reduce our prices to regain our popularity."
Liu Mu grudgingly shook his head, curling his lip, he said: "Do whatever you want, but remember, even if you reduce the price, I still get the cut we talked about when the medicine was worth 300 gold."
Jia Lie Bi's eyes couldn't help but twitch as a cloud of anger began to descend upon his mind; he took a deep breath to calm down. His face still wore a smiling expression, however it seems to have grown a little colder: "Haha, of course. I will definitely pay Liu Mu's share as we agreed."
"Ok." A satisfied look on his face, Liu Mu nodded his head and once again returned to his seat. Even more unbridled than before, he dragged the pretty maid onto his lap.
"Mr. Liu Mu, we do not have much 'Return of Spring Powder' left. Earlier, I have already sent people to the Primer Auction House to purchase ingredients. When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll have to inconvenience you again," Jia Lie Bi smiled before supplementing: "Additionally, I managed to buy a pair of valuable Ta Ge Er Desert Snake Women yesterday and I have already sent them to your room."
When Liu Mu heard that he had to refine medicine again, a look of impatience flashed clearly across his face, yet after hearing the two words: Snake Women, the impatience immediately changed into a perverted expression. With the flame of lust burning in his eyes, he nodded his head and took charge of the situation: "As long as there is enough medicine ingredients, the Clan Leader need not worry about the quantity of Return of Spring Powder."
At the sight of a Liu Mu who was so easy to control, the corners of Jia Lie Bi's mouth turned to form an expression of disdain, inwardly he sneered: "With only thoughts controlled by lust, besides knowing alchemy, he has no other good points."
Jia Lie Bi sneered as he shook his head, lifting his teacup with both hands to his mouth to take a sip before engaging in the topic Liu Mu was most interested in: sexual affairs, smiling all the while.
As he was once again making light talk with Liu Mu, a clan member hastily barged into the hall, quickly arriving at Jia Lie Bi's side before lowering his head to speak some words into Jia Lie Bi's ear in a hushed tone.
With a smile on his face, Jia Lie Bi listened to the clan member's report, a moment later, the smile on his face went rigid, "Ka Cha" the teacup in his hand was suddenly crushed to dust and the dust and tea mixed together as they flowed down his hand, dripping onto the floor.
"That wretched Primer Auction House, to actually use such a ploy with me!"
With a face full of fury, Jia Lie Bi abruptly stood up and roared in anger, a berserk Qi suddenly exploded out of his body forming tiny whirlwinds which hissed in mid air.
Seated closest to Jia Lie Bi, Jia Lie Ao suddenly found it hard to breathe due to the imposing Qi that emitted from his father and hastily rushing a few steps back. He anxiously shouted: "Father!"
Jia Lie Ao's shout allowed Jia Lie Bi to regain his senses. His face slightly twitched before coldly sitting down and saying: "Primer Auction House has refused to sell our Jia Lie Clan any more medicine ingredients!"
Once these words were said, the entire hall was in uproar, everyone looked at each other in dismay, alarm was visible on their faces.
"How can it be possible? Hasn't Primer Auction House always preserved their neutrality? How can they suddenly choose to oppose the Jia Lie Clan?" Jia Lie Ku's complexion changed at Jia Lie Bi's words and shuddered while involuntarily voicing his thoughts.
"If there were enough incentive, who would pointlessly maintain their neutrality?" Jia Lie Bi coldly snorted in reply as he slowly spit out a sigh. He cast a glance towards the Liu Xi who was in a sorry state due to his Qi before icily saying: "I fear that the Xiao Clan had some hand in this matter."
"They shouldn't have the ability to cause Primer Auction House to refuse to sell us medicine ingredients right?" Jia Lie Ao muttered.
"Humph, who knows what kind of conditions they used to move Primer Auction House." Jia Lie Bi stroked his aged face and without knowing why, a sense of unease filled his heart.
"What can we do now? Without enough medical ingredients, our stock of the Return of Spring Powder will quickly run out. At that time, it would be our turn to experience the spectacle of an empty marketplace." Jia Lie Ku anxiously said.
Jia Lie Bi ground his teeth and coldly replied: "There are quite a few medical ingredient stores who still stand by our side, first send people to buy all of the medical ingredients they have to support ourselves as much as possible over this period of time. If even then we are still unable to survive, then go to the other cities and towns to buy medical ingredients at high prices, I don't believe that the influence of the Xiao Clan will reach the other nearby cities and towns."
As the words left his mouth, Jia Lie Bi took another teacup only to realise that his hands were lightly trembling. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Jia Lie Bi had an inexplicable feeling that the Jia Lie Clan had stirred up something that should never have been touched……Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Where do you keep these items? They're not exactly the easiest things to store, are they? They're awkwardly shaped, and some of them are, or can be, pretty large.

'Our Band Could Be Your Life' in pics, video & review (Dirty Projectors, St Vincent, Dan Deacon, Ted Leo, Wye Oak & more)
photos by Amanda Hatfield, words by Andrew Frisicano
The "Our Band Could Be Your Life" tribute Sunday night at Bowery Ballroom ran more than four hours with 14 bands playing the music of 13 bands (plus a special encore act that covered Nirvana). Set changes were kept short, and bands generally played about 10-15 minutes (between one and four songs). Unannounced guests included Tim Harrington and Lee Ranaldo singing the Minutemen, Craig Finn playing the role of Minneapolis cop, and Dan Deacon's multimedia barrage and three-piece band. More highlights, lots of pictures, and a bunch of videos (UPDATE: NPR has audio of the show) are below…
Dirty Projectors guys flipped the script on their Black Flag set by actually playing the songs like the originals (I missed this, and cohosts Janeane Garofalo & Eugene Mirman introducing the show, but that's what I heard from outside). They played "Police Story", "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie", "Spray Paint", "Thirsty and Miserable", and "Rise Above".
Members of Dirty Projects covering Black Flag
Delicate Steve performed a fairly faithful rendition of the music of the Minutemen, first with a solo guitar version of "Cohesion," then with Tim Harrington singing "This Ain't No Picnic." Lee Renaldo came on to chime in on the chorus, then took the lead for "History Lesson Pt. II" and "Jesus and Tequila." (Lee read the words off a sheet of paper, which made me a bit nervous for the rest of the sets. Thankfully nobody else did.)
Citay played Mission of Burma (again, fairly faithfully). Setlist: "Term Two" and "Peking Spring".
Ted Leo prowled the stage as he sang Minor Threat over backing tracks played on a reel-to-reel tape machine. The instruments sounded appropriately gritty and blown out, but could have used a couple notches more of volume (a common thought on the night). "Salad Days" made a great closer. He also played "Minor Threat", "Stand Up", "Filler" and "Look Back And Laugh".
Ted Leo covering Minor Threat
Grooms played Husker Du. Setlist: "Pink Turns To Blue" / "Diane" / "Something I Learned Today"
Titus Andronicus played the Replacements. Craig Finn came out to play the role of the cop at the beginning of "Kids Don't Follow," before diving into the crowd. He almost made it all the way to the back bar. They also played "Raised In The City" and "Treatment Bound".
Titus Andronicus covering The Replacements
Tune-Yards played (one) Sonic Youth song, "The Burning Spear." Easily the most avant take of the night, Merril looped her voice to mimic the droning guitar of the original, pounded a set of toms, and got some help from a bassist.
Callers played a more Sonic Youth songs ("Shadow Of A Doubt" and "The World Looks Red"). The drummer, correcting his introduction, said "We're callers not the callers" to much heckling.
Dan Deacon & his "All-Star Ensemble" staged a multimedia performance for their set of Butthole Surfers songs, which included a shred-tastic version of "Sweet Loaf", and "Human Cannonball", ad "The Shah Sleeps In Lee Harvey's Grave". The lights were turned off for the hallucinogenic video projections, and the crowd took that as a cue to mosh, stage dive, etc. Someone in the front row got their nose broken, but (dedicated!) stayed for the rest of the night with towel on their face to soak up the blood.
St. Vincent absolutely tore apart a pair of Big Black songs with help from the Dirty Projectors rhythm section and Shahzad Ismaily on moog. Her versions of "Bad Penny" and "Kerosene" were easily the highlights of the night (wait for the bootleg).
St. Vincent covering Big Black
I think it says something about Michael's curatorial intent (and the state of indie music currently) that 9 out of the 14 acts featured women playing the very male-centric music of the original bands. Still, that thoughtfulness doesn't necessarily stop guys in the audience from catcalling when a woman takes the stage at a punk/indie-rock show, as was the case here. Azzerad points out the disconnect between bands and their audiences in the book (Black Flag vs. its fans is a memorable one), so perhaps this echoes that, and I guess it's not really a surprise that male rock nerds still have a problem dealing with women artists, but alas – one bummer of the otherwise inspiring night.
Wye Oak played Dinosaur Jr. This was predictably great. They played "Sludgefest" and "Tarpit".
Buke & Gass played one long, wiry Fugazi tune (that was actually two songs. They played "Long Division" and "Guilford Fall".)
Buke and Gass covering Fugazi
White Hills jammed out on Mudhoney (Maybe an unfair task, since you can still go see the still-very-energetic original). Setlist: "In 'N' Out Of Grace" / "When Tomorrow Hits"
Yellow Ostrich played Beat Happening: a set I had low expectations for (I'm wasn't familiar with Yellow Ostrich, and Beat Happening doesn't exactly seem like a big finish on paper), but their version of "Indian Summer," with flugelhorn and trumpet, was a sweet finish. They also played "Left Behind".
Michael Azzerad gave a nice speech before the encore (Deacon introduced him by saying, "Some of you are going to hate him for this, but if it wasn't this man I wouldn't be making music.") then stagedove into the crowd, who started to grab the monitors and microphones and create general disorder during the…
Nirvana encore with Wye Oak (Jenn on guitar, Andy on bass) and Brian McOmber on drums. First, Dan Deacon and Arone of Buke & Gass took vocals for "Negative Creep" (someone from the crowd also nabbed a mic), then Patrick Stickles sang "Sliver," and Merrill rocking out to "Lithium."

How to make fresh ricotta cheese
The homemade version is entirely different and far more delicious than its store-bought counterpart. You will probably eat most of this batch straight out of the container.
An unusual gift showed up on my doorstep this week – a gallon of unpasteurized milk from a local dairy. A friend had purchased several jugs and wondered if I could use one of them. "Yes!" I said, delighted at the chance to get my hands on some unpasteurized milk for a change and try my hand at cheese-making.
There was a that I'd been eyeing in Fine Cooking magazine for several months, and that's how I decided to use the milk – after taking quite a few sips of the deliciously creamy milk with fat pooling on the surface. "This is how milk should taste," my husband said after sampling it.
Making ricotta is surprisingly easy, and of course it is far more delicious than any storebought versions. All you need in terms of equipment is a candy thermometer and some cheesecloth.
Homemade Ricotta
1 gallon whole milk (it doesn't have to be raw, but many cheesemakers prefer this because of the deeper flavor and increased bacteria)
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
½ cup fresh strained lemon juice (from 2 large lemons)
Line a colander with 3 to 4 layers of damp cheesecloth, and set it in a large bowl or over the sink.
Clip a candy thermometer to the side of a heavy-duty 7- to 8-quart pot. Put the milk and cream into the pot and slowly warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula, until it reaches 185 F. Be patient; this takes a while.
Remove from heat, stir in salt, and then slowly pour lemon juice over the surface. Stir for another 1 to 2 minutes to encourage curd formation.
Gentle ladle curds into the prepared colander. Fold over the ends of the cheesecloth to cover loosely and let sit. Drain until it reaches your desired consistency, 30 minutes for a soft ricotta and up to 24 hours for a firm, dry, dense ricotta. Refrigerate if draining for more than 2 hours. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
Now I have a lovely container of medium-firm ricotta in the fridge that I meant to use for a special recipe, but instead I'm eating by the spoonful or spreading on flatbread whenever I get hungry. It's irresistible, with a soft yet slightly chewy texture and very gentle taste. You can spread ricotta on bread and top with fruit compote or jam, capers and olive oil, tomatoes and rosemary, prosciutto and arugula, fresh figs, walnuts and honey. Use it on pancakes, add to cheesecake, or stuff into pasta shells or lasagna.
I don't know when I'll get my hands on that much unpasteurized milk again, but the same recipe can be made with pasteurized whole milk. It will be interesting to see how it differs in taste.
