Airbus parent company EADS NV said today its first-half earnings fell from a year earlier as the impact of the weakening US dollar offset higher commercial and military jet sales and record orders for its new A320neo fuel-saving jet.
EADS said in a statement it made a net profit of 109 million euro (£95 million) in the first half compared with 185 million euro (£162 million) a year earlier. The earnings included financial charges to account for a drop in the value of the European plane maker's commercial backlog, which fell 28 billion euro (£24 billion) because of the weakening US currency.
Despite this EADS said it is on track to achieve its targeted earnings for the full year, with higher sales and stable profitability compared with a year earlier.
The company has booked record sales for its A320neo, a revamped version of the A320 single-aisle workhorse jet that it claims will save airlines 15% on their fuel bills. Airlines struggling to eke out savings showed a large demand for the jet at the Paris Air Show in June, and its success was underlined last week when US carrier American Airlines announced an order for 260 of the Airbus planes alongside an order for 200 of rival Boeing's jets.
The deal was a major coup for Europe's Airbus, which will break Boeing's exclusive grip on American's fleet. Airbus hadn't won an order from America since the 1980s.
The A320neo is equipped with new, more fuel-efficient engines designed by Pratt & Whitney and CFM, a joint venture between General Electric and Safran. Airbus is ramping up production of the A320 at plants in Toulouse, France, Hamburg, Germany, and Tianjin, China, to meet the strong demand.
The large order from American Airlines added to the 1,000 A320neos already on order by other airlines and has led some industry analysts to speculate Airbus would have to ramp up capacity even further, perhaps by building an assembly plant in the US
EADS chief executive Louis Gallois said there is "no concrete project" to assemble planes in the US.
"Everything could be considered but for the time being any element on that is speculation," Mr Gallois said.
In the first half Airbus took 640 net new orders and delivered 258 aircraft. The company targets gross orders of more than 1,000 this year, and to deliver between 520 and 530 aircraft.

One of the first questions that people ask Dr. Vince Savage, executive director of the Aspen Homeless Shelter is: There actually are homeless people in Aspen?
Well, yes, and those who are homeless here can find food, resources and accommodations at the Aspen Homeless Shelter.
Dr. Vince Savage sat down with Cross Currents host Christin Kay to talk about homelessness in Aspen. Also in the studio were Bill Hodges, president of the shelter's board, Simon Chen, board member, and Catherine Ann Provine, managing director of the Aspen Chapel. The homeless shelter's overnight program will be at the Aspen Chapel this winter.
Alycin Bektesh has reported on homelessness in Aspen. She joined the conversation, as well.

"Spanning from pole to pole, 70 Degrees West is a photo-documentary project that uses this line to illustrate the impact our modern world has on seven unique regions and the people who depend upon the stability of these fragile environments."
70 Degrees West is more than a photography blog, as it is the travelogue of a journey along the 70-degree West longitude, as experienced by photographer Justin Lewis and writer Michelle Stauffer; through photography and written narratives, the project documents the habitats, cultures, diversity and richness of life along the longitude line.
Here, 70-degrees West is more than a man-made line on the map, it represents a collection of vulnerable habitats and cultures from ice sheets to Amazonian forests. Lewis and Stauffer have set about expanding global awareness of the cultures and environments by journeying into the heart of these communities under threat from changing climate and global economic forces.
Michelle Stauffer has turned from graduate science and professional ballet to author, campaigning on women's health, becoming and women's rights issues. Justin Lewis is an experienced commercial photographer and graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography. Having visited forty-five countries already, Justin uses photography to promote exploration and conservation.
You can find impressive images and accompanying narrative at 70 Degrees West, not only in the landscapes but the intimate human portraits, easily up to the standard of established titles such as National Geographic and Time. I've picked out some of Justin's stunning landscapes here, just for the drama, but the portraiture is equally good.
We wish them well in the remainder of their journey. RC
All locations fall along the 70-degrees West Longitude line:

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Max Heidegger scored a season-high 26 points and Cal State Northridge made just 1-for-21 from three-point range as UC Santa Barbara came from behind for a 70-64 win on Wednesday night.
The Gauchos (17-5 overall, 6-2 Big West) trailed the Matadors (10-14, 4-4) 11-0 3:19 into the game with freshman Lamine Diane scoring nine of his game-high 28 points during the run. A driving layup by Devearl Ramsey with 16:31 to play in the first half broke the spell.
Still trailing 20-10, JaQuori McLaughlin made a long three-pointer to kick-start an 18-9 rally to end the first half and pull UCSB within 29-28 at halftime.
CSUN pushed the lead to 35-32 before the Gauchos went on a 13-3 surge to claim a 49-38 lead with 9:50 remaining in the game. Heidegger made two of his season-high four three-point baskets during run. Freshman Amadou Sow, who finished with 16 points and nine boards, scored four during the stretch.
Heidegger, who struggled with his shot since returning to action after missing 11 games, continued to emerge. He scored 20 in UCSB's win at Hawai'i on Feb. 2 and he was even better Wednesday.
"Coach P (Pasternack) and my teammates just kept telling me to keep shooting," said the junior guard. "I would get a little frustrated but my teammates always had confidence in me so I'm glad I've been able to contribute to some wins."
Despite falling behind by 11, the Matadors weren't done.
Terrell Gomez made his team's only three-pointer of the game to get the lead back to a single-digit at 49-41 with 9:35 to play. The teams continued to trade buckets over the next several minutes and when Heidegger made a hanging jumper, was fouled and made the free throw, Santa Barbara was back on top 58-49 at the 5:45 mark.
CSUN responded with a 7-0 run to close within 58-56 on a layup by Darius Brown II with 4:50 to play. A free throw by Heidegger and then two by Sow extended the advantage back to 61-56 with 3:32 on the clock, but a free throw line jumper by Brown made it a 61-58 game with 3:10 left.
It was time for Heidegger to strike again as he drilled a long three-pointer with 2:39 to play, giving the Gauchos a 64-58 lead.
"That was a really big shot," Pasternack said. "Max was so confident when he went up that you just sensed it was going to fall."
A dunk by Ron Artest III made it a 64-60 game with 2:22 left, but after the teams traded turnovers, it was time for the Matadors to start sending UCSB to the free throw line. McLaughlin made two and then missed two, but Heidegger hit four in a row, the final two with 14 seconds left, to give his team a 70-62 edge. A rebound and basket at the buzzer by Rodney Henderson, Jr., made the final score 70-64.
"This was an outstanding defensive effort for us," Pasternack said. "JaQuori (McLaughlin) did a great job on Gomez, and Jarriesse (Blackmon) and Amadou (Sow) did a good job on their best player."
While Diane finished with 28 points, he made just four of his final nine shots from the field and Blackmon was the primary reason.
"Jarriesse is our junkyard dog," Pasternack said. "He is so unselfish. He doesn't need to get his shots, he just does whatever he has to do to help this team win."
Blackmon finished with five points, five rebounds, two steals and a career-high four assists in his 26 minutes off the bench. Ar'Mond Davis had nine points and five rebounds, while Ramsey had six points, six rebounds and three assists.
Gomez, who came into the game averaging more than 19 points per game, was held to 10 on 3-for-13 from the field and 1-for-8 from three-point range.
UCSB made exactly 11-of-24 field goals in each half to finish at 22-of-48, 45.8%. The Gauchos also made 20-of-26 free throws, 76.9%, including 16-of-19, 84.2%, in the second half. CSUN shot 43.5% overall but in addition to making just 1-of-21 shots from three-point range, it also hit just 9-of-16 free throws, 56.3%. UCSB also won the rebound battle, 39-29.
Santa Barbara has now won two consecutive games and will return home on Saturday, Feb. 9 to host UC Davis in a game that will tip-off at 9:00 p.m. The game will be carried by ESPNU.

2006 Hospice du Rhone – Part 6
Prior to the main events on Friday and Saturday, the winemakers conduct a Syrah Shootout. This is a head-to-head competition between winemakers, with winemakers/producers participating in a blind tasting to select the best three Syrahs in the lineup. The prize? Bragging rights until next year's event…oh, and a plaid (some might say gauche) sportcoat called the Coat du Rhône, plus a pseudo-trophy of a small wooden barrel with a plaque.
The tasting included 50 bottles of various Syrahs, all bagged and numbered. Winemakers and producers were asked to taste through the wines, pick their top three and turn in their scoring to HdR personnel. This year's winner was McCrea Cellars of Washington State, unseating two-time winner Jeff Cohen.
Join us for interviews including: Chris Cherry of Villa Creek, Susan Neel from McCrea Cellars, and a philosophical Jeff Cohen.

About Us- Pakistan is predominantly an agricultural country. However, since its independence in 1947, emphasis has been on irrigated agriculture, while the dryland / arid agriculture remained neglected. With rapid increase in population the irrigated areas failed to provide food requirements and it became imperative to find out ways to make use of the huge part of culturable land in the rainfed region. In the 1970s, the Government of Pakistan constituted a Barani Commission to review and recommend measures for the development of rainfed agriculture and uplift of the poor masses through education, research, and development of technology, and manpower. Pursuant to the recommendations of the Barani Commission, the Government of Punjab established Barani Agricultural College, Rawalpindi which was later upgraded to the level of the University in 1994. The mandate of the University is to produce high-quality agricultural scientists and to form an organized scientific infrastructure for teaching and research for the development of dryland regions of the country, thus minimizing the income gap between the rich and poor and irrigated & arid areas.

Focus Eye Clinic has started using the Avedro technique to reduce the time of a UV Crosslink operation by one half. An additional advantage for the patient is the absence of pain after surgery. The UV Crosslink procedure is used for various disorders of the cornea, including keratoconus.
The procedure involves the administering of eye-drops with Riboflavine (a form of vitamin B2), followed by applying ultraviolet light. The UV light causes a bonding of the collagen fibres of the cornea which makes the collagen three times stronger. This process stabilises after six months. Collagen comprises the supporting tissue of the cornea.
In 24 minutes
What is new in the Avedro technique is that the eye-drops take only 20 minutes to work instead of a half-hour, and the application of UV light afterwards is reduced from 30 minutes to 4 minutes. Moreover, the treatment is trans-epithelial. This means that the epithelium (the outermost layer of cells, in this case, of the cornea) is not removed, with the result that the patient does not have any pain afterwards.
UV Crosslink with Avedro technology: suitable for whom?
UV Crosslink with Avedro technology is used for the prevention of and treatment of keratoconus, an often inherited disease of the cornea.
It is also suited for such other cases as an ectasia of the cornea, an instability of the cornea after a radial keratotomy, chronic corneal oedema, a persistent corneal ulcer, and a recurring keratoconus after corneal transplant.
You can read more about this on our webpage Keratoconus: New Avedro.

eBooks have outsold paper books for the first time this Christmas, according to Amazon.com.
More people bought Kindle books than physical one on Christmas day, making it the "most gifted item in Amazon's history", although there is no indication yet on whether the value of eBooks sold is also higher.
Amazon also claimed the Kindle was one of its highest selling electronics items alongside the iPod.
"We are grateful to our customers for making Kindle the most gifted item ever in our history," said Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.com.

Providing of course that at least a few of the Wine people will come. I'm not particularly intrested in travelling at least 12 hours by air to only talk to the Lindows.com people. Anybody else interested? PS. Does anybody know if a VISA to the US is required for citizens of the European Union countries (like Sweden)?

Historically and scientifically speaking, the moose is both the largest and, consequently, most "chill" species within the deer family. This is due to their natural appreciation for the finer things in life. When happening upon this massive beast, onlookers are often surprised by the mammal's grace and sophistication—it is not uncommon to see moose sipping on an old fashioned cocktail and pairing it with a fine cigar.
It is out of respect for the moose and his instinctively posh demeanor that Foundry Tobacco Company crafted the appropriately-titled Chillin' Moose cigar brand. Chillin' Moose utilizes a blend as complex and diverse as the elusive mammal itself—featuring a four-country filler blend (Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, U.S. Broadleaf, and Mexican San Andrés), bound with Ecuadorian Sumatra, and finished in a Connecticut Habano wrapper (the moose's favorite varietal!). And with such a complex blend (five countries in total), smokers are often shocked by the cigar's twist ending: its price. Yep, these premium, hand-made smokes begin in the $2 range! With a medium body and rich flavors that are easily enjoyable for the everyman—such as toasted nuts, sweet bread, cedar, and a little spice kick—this may very well be the best bang-for-your-buck cigar on the market!
Stock up on Chillin' Moose and your humidor will thank you (your wallet will too…); because a full humidor is a happy humidor!

From our family to yours, my dear friends, we wish you the happiest of Christmases. We hope your celebrations were safe and joyful and happy. We had a very lovely Christmas. Just the sort of calm, peaceful day you dream of and with 75 degree weather. Can't complain about that....except for the lack of snow, haha.
We woke up early but lounged in bed. Our Little Bug is not with us this week so we will be celebrating most of our traditional Christmas events on Saturday when she returns. Christmas Eve Dinner was always a BIG tradition in my family, so last night I made The Man and me a beautiful dinner. It was so nice to have the time to just enjoy the process without any pressure or stress. We turned on the fireplace, all the lights, put on holiday music and I enjoyed my time prepping each dish and timing everything out perfectly so that it would all be ready at just the right time. I made filet mignon (maybe my best steak cooking I've ever done --yay!), roasted garlic mushrooms (a new recipe we loved!), baked potatoes with sour cream and scallions, glazed carrots and garlic green beans. It was so yummy.
When we sat down I said "Let's try to stretch this out and enjoy every taste" and yet after about 25 minutes we were done eating. All the preparation for those few delicious minutes. But that's how it usually goes with special meals, isn't it?
For dessert we had pumpkin pie that I made on Monday. I tried something new and just pressed the crust into the pan with my hands instead of rolling it out. For the most part that seems to be a very good way to go because the dough recipe I use (found on The Pioneer Woman blog) makes such flaky, soft crust that getting dough from the rolled out spot into the pan is very difficult. Pressing it into the pan with my hands was not as easy as I'd hoped but it seemed to work out in the end quite well. I also learned that pumpkin pie tastes better after it sits a while. This pie tasted much better than the slices we had almost straight from the oven on Monday.
Today I made peanut butter bars like we used to have weekly in our school lunches when I grew up. Since I was a little kid I have always wanted to make those so it was a big day that this little dream finally happened. It's a silly thing, really, but the 4th grader inside of me was quite excited and proud. I did put a little too much peanut butter in, which made them a little too soft, but I am glad I will have another chance to perfect the recipe another time soon. I like the base of my peanut butter bars a little more dry and crunchy.
One funny thing I was missing today is an outdoor fridge - and by outdoor fridge I really mean living somewhere that is cold enough you can refrigerate extra food outside on your snow covered patio or in your freezing cold garage. At my parents' house we often put extra food, in well sealed containers in the garage or on the patio to keep cool. With a fridge and freezer overflowing with food and leftovers right now I was really wishing for an outdoor fridge today when I decided to make peanut butter bars that needed to be refrigerated.
We have been watching movies and relaxing. It is a much needed blessing to slow down for a day or so, right? Today we spent the evening with a group of lovely people for Christmas Dinner. It was fun to get to know new people, be around noisy, excited children and enjoy a very delicious meal. Thankfully I was able to take half my pan of peanut butter bars along with drinks and rolls so that we don't have that whole pan of deliciousness here calling to us.
The Man and I each opened one gift tonight. After a year in a war zone, I thought he deserved "2014: A Year of Fun and Adventure!" So my main gift to him was things to help him have a fun and adventurous year to come. He definitely deserves it. Each month I am going to make sure he does some fun things that inspire him and are just plain fun. We are starting out early by going on a little adventure tomorrow afternoon. Should be fun. I'll tell you about it soon. Until then, continued best wishes for the continuing holiday season.

New Border wall in 'smuggler's gulch' is working according to CBP agents
Justin De La Torre stated a steep, open canyon between San Diego and Tijuana has been used for decades by immigrants to smuggle drugs into the U.S. from Mexico.
"It has an anti-climb feature, it's made of steel, it also has a concrete base that prevents digging from underneath, and now we're able to control this area with the new infrastructure."
According to California Border Patrol agents, new infrastructure in an area known as "smuggler's gulch" is making a difference.
President Trump moved to replace the fencing along the San Diego border earlier this year as his administration sped up moves to build taller, stronger border reinforcement.
"This is a smart, strategic, see-through steel barrier — not just a simple concrete wall,"
said the president.
"It will be deployed in the areas identified by border agents as having the greatest need, and as these agents will tell you, where walls go up, illegal crossings go way down."
Numerous wall construction projects are underway across the Southwest border, including projects in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. — CBP (@CBP) August 25, 2019

The insolvency proceedings of Signet Solar were opened for hearing on Tuesday in the Chemnitz court (Amtsgericht). "The opening of the insolvency proceedings will not change things for the customers, suppliers and employees," stated the liquidator Christoph Junker. Employee wages in the future will be administered directly by the insolvency administrator and not the insolvency cash from the employment agency. Junker had already been appointed by the court as the provisional insolvency administrator.
Intensive negotiations with more than 20 potential investors are underway according to the Dresdner attorney. However, the entire negotiations over the enterprises involved and the available offers are held behind closed doors. None of the investors with a serious interest have withdrawn themselves from the process so far according to Junker's updates of the proceedings. He remains optimistic that a conclusion can be reached within the next four weeks. "Our goal is to set up Signet in such a way that the company is positioned strategically for success on a long term basis and the jobs on location remain," said Junker. The importance is placed on the 153 jobs on location in Saxon-Mochau.
Production maintains full capacity to the end of October and the employee hours have been extended to meet current module orders. Among them, a large scale photovoltaic project in Slovakia with a capacity higher than one megawatt, concluded Junker.

The Time Given Us...
in Copenhagen at IFPS
A tip of the hat to Baron Bodissey at the Gates of Vienna blog, who sent us this stirring address by Austrian Free Speech advocate, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, whom we had interviewed for the NER just prior to her show trial in Vienna that began on November 23rd. Among others who will speak at the Danish Parliament in Copenhagen at this International Free Press Society event will be René Stadtkewitz (Germany) and Jimmie Åkesson (Sweden). Geert wilders had to cancel his appearance a few days ago. Rabbi Jon Hausman has traveled from the US to attend this important gathering of EU anti-Jihadists. We have called Elisabeth, the "Mother Courage of the 21st Century". Her young daughter Ella, husband, parents and thousands of international admirers hold her in great esteem. Having lived in Muslim countries and witnessed first hand Shariah and Islamic anti-Semitism, she has bared witness to the threats to Free Speech for all of us by daring to crticise Islam. As we are wont to say in Hebrew: Kol hakavod , Hazak v Amataz. (All honors. Be strong and of good courage).
The Time That is Given Us
The International Free Press Society sponsored a conference today in Copenhagen. Below is the speech that was given during the event by Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff (photo © Snaphanen).
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I stand here before you in the city of Copenhagen in the year 2010. This is widely considered to be an enlightened country in the heart of an enlightened continent.
Our basic freedoms have long been guaranteed — first by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as passed by the United Nations in 1948, and then buttressed by the Council of Europe in 1950 through the European Convention of Human Rights, which was later affirmed by the European Union. Our individual countries have additionally codified the same basic rights in their own constitutions.
These rights include the freedom of individual conscience, the right to assemble peaceably, and the right to practice our religion freely, or to have no religion at all. And, perhaps most importantly of all, they include the right to voice our opinions freely and to publish them without hindrance.
Yet freedom of speech is under attack today here in Denmark, as it is in my own country Austria, and indeed all across Europe. Today, in 21st century Western Europe, our right to free speech is being shut down quietly and systematically with an effectiveness that the commissars in the old Soviet Union could only dream of.
A milestone in this ominous totalitarian trend will be reached tomorrow, 28 November 2010, when the member states of the European Union are required to implement an innocuous-sounding legal provision known as the "Framework decision on combating racism and xenophobia", or, more fully, the "Council Framework Decision 2008/913/JHA of 28 November 2008 on combating certain forms and expressions of racism and xenophobia by means of criminal law." According to the final article of the Framework Decision, "Member States shall take the necessary measures to comply with the provisions of this Framework Decision by 28 November 2010."
Why does this matter to the cause of free speech in Europe?
If you read the full text of the Framework Decision (which may be found in the legislative section of the EU's website), you will learn that "Each Member State shall take the measures necessary… to ensure that the following intentional conduct is punishable." Such "intentional conduct" includes "conduct which is a pretext for directing acts against a group of persons or a member of such a group defined by reference to race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin."
Based on what has recently happened to Geert Wilders and me — and earlier to Gregorius Nekschot, Jussi Halla-aho, and numerous others — we can all guess who will be punished under this provision of the Framework Decision: those who criticize Islam.
Even worse, a complaint made by a member state does not have to be "dependent on a report or an accusation made by a victim of the conduct", nor does the alleged offender have to be "physically present in its territory".
In other words, if the dhimmi Austrian government objects to a cartoon published by Kurt Westergaard here in Denmark, Mr. Westergaard may be extradited by the Austrian Ministry of Justice to answer to hate speech charges in Austria. The European Arrest Warrant guarantees that the Danish government cannot legally interfere with such an extradition, and the 800-strong "European Gendarmerie Force" would be available to fetch Mr. Westergaard out of his bed and bring him to Vienna — with impunity.
As of tomorrow, the above scenario becomes a real possibility. It is not a paranoid fantasy. These legal provisions are detailed in the EU's public documents, and they will enjoy the full force of law in all EU member states as of midnight tonight.
The death throes of free speech in Europe begin tomorrow morning.
As most of you already know, nearly a year ago I was made aware that "hate speech" charges might be filed against me — I had "denigrated religious teachings" by giving one of my public lectures on Islam.
The possibility of my prosecution was not communicated to me directly, but through articles in the press.
It was not until last month that a court date was set for my case. Once again, I had to discover this fact in the press — in NEWS, the same left-wing newspaper that brought the original complaint against me. I was not officially notified of my hearing date until several days later.
The evidence used against me this past week was a transcript of a tape of my lecture, provided to the court by the same socialist newspaper. It included words that were not spoken by me, and words that were not spoken in public, which therefore were not a violation of the law.
But my case is not really about the law. It is a political trial, and like the trials of Geert Wilders and Jussi Halla-aho, it is intended to silence someone who speaks out against the barbaric nature of sharia law.
Above all else, it is intended to discourage anyone who might consider following in my footsteps. The oligarchs who rule Europe are determined to prevent any frank discussion among their citizens of Islam and its legal doctrines.
These are the methods of a totalitarian state.
They are more successful than those of the Nazis and the Fascists and the Communists because they are accomplished quietly and peacefully, with no need for concentration camps or gulags or mass graves or the shot in the back of the neck in the middle of the night.
They are surgical strikes executed via our legal systems, and they are quite effective. Between the summary punishment carried out against Theo Van Gogh and the Framework Decision applied though our courts, there is no room left for us to maneuver.
We are systematically being silenced.
I admire the provisions of the First Amendment that all Americans enjoy as their birthright. Its free speech provisions will make the imposition of sharia that much more difficult in the United States.
But here in Europe we are not so well-protected. Our constitutions and the rules imposed upon us by the EU allow certain exceptions to the right to speak freely, and those little rips in the fabric of our rights are enough to tear the entire structure to pieces.
We desperately need our own version of the First Amendment. We need leaders who are wise and courageous enough to compose and implement legal instruments that affirm the same fundamental rights that are guaranteed to all citizens by the United States Constitution.
We do not yet have any leaders of this caliber. But they are beginning to appear on the scene, and one day they will be the real leaders of our individual European nations, replacing the internationalist totalitarian usurpers who oppress us today.
Our nations will be governed by their own people, by those who truly represent them. Their leaders will be true patriots, people like Jimmie Åkesson and Kent Ekeroth in Sweden, or Oskar Freysinger in Switzerland, or Geert Wilders and Martin Bosma in the Netherlands, or Filip Dewinter and Frank Vanhecke in Flanders.
We are going to reclaim our continent and our nations. We will take our countries back from those thieves who sneaked them away from us while were lulled into somnolence by our wealth and our pleasant diversions.
This will not be an easy task. Our path will be strewn with obstacles and great dangers. But we must travel it nonetheless, because if we do not, European civilization — the heart of Western Civilization — will be destroyed.
What were formerly our nations will become regions with indistinct boundaries, populated mainly by people of foreign cultures and administered by corrupt totalitarian bureaucrats. The natives — the original inhabitants, our children, the descendants of those who created the greatest civilization the world has ever known — will be reduced to curators and costumed actors in a quaint theme park.
Call it "Euro World". Authentic cuisine, ethnic dancers, and fireworks at ten o'clock.
This is what we will face if we give up our cherished freedoms. If lose our freedom of speech, then we are lost forever.
I am not a victim. I intend to stand up for what is right. I will defend what needs to be defended. Above everything else, I will exercise my God-given right to speak freely about what is happening. Freedom of speech is the single most important freedom we possess.
I am doing this for my daughter, and for her children, for those who will have to live in the world we are now preparing for them. I am doing what our grandparents should perhaps have done during the 1930s, when their own freedoms were under threat.
This is our time. This cup will not pass from us.
I am reminded of a passage in J.R.R. Tolkien's famous trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.
It is an exchange between Frodo the hobbit and Gandalf the wizard, and it concerns the perilous quest on which Frodo and his friends have been sent.
Frodo says: "I wish it need not have happened in my time."
Gandalf responds: "So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
It is time for us to decide what to do with the time that is given us.
If I were to speak these same words tomorrow morning, I might be subject to arrest. I could be charged under the provisions of the Framework Decision, and extradited to the country that charged me using a European Arrest Warrant, escorted by the European Gendarmerie.
This is not an imaginary scenario; it is a very real possibility.
It is true that only a few people are likely to undergo such an ordeal. But it only takes a few people.
How many people have to endure what Mr. Wilders and I are enduring before everyone else gets the message?
How many examples have to be set before the rest of the European population understands the new rules, and is cowed into submission?
And we must remember to whom they will be submitting in the end. They will be submitting to our successors in Europe. They will be submitting to our replacements.
We must remember that the word for submission in Arabic is Islam.
When there are enough Muslims living in Europe — and it doesn't have to be a majority of the population, just somewhere around fifteen or twenty percent — we will be living under Islamic law, and not the laws that presently govern us.
We will no longer enjoy what constitutional rights remain to us now. Our rights will be completely prescribed and delimited by sharia. Women will become the virtual chattel of men. Christians and Jews will be driven out or forced to convert to Islam. Atheists and homosexuals will be killed.
The European Union would consider these words to be "hate speech". Under the Framework Decision, they would be classified as "racism and xenophobia", and I could be prosecuted for saying them.
But they are in fact the simple truth.
Anyone can verify them by studying history. Anyone who chooses can read the Koran and the hadith and the Sunna of the Prophet.
Widely available official treatises on Islamic law confirm that my description is not "hate speech", but a plain and accurate reading of the tenets of Islamic law.
It has become obvious that to tell the truth about Islam is now considered "incitement to religious hatred".
It is now clear that non-Muslims who reveal the tenets of sharia law to the public are "denigrating religious teachings".
If we meekly accept these rules, then we are acquiescing in the imposition of sharia law in our own nations. And I, for one, will not sit silently while this happens.
I don't want my daughter to live under sharia.
Our time is short. If you and I do not envision an Islamic future for ourselves, then we must speak out now.
If we wish to preserve the right to speak and publish freely, then we must exercise it now.
I wish this need not have happened in my time. But it has.
We must make full use of the time that remains to us.
Thank you.

While all Muslims are not terrorists, the majority of terrorists in the world today are Muslim. Do these pictures demonstrate extremism or are these people just plain Muslims with a peculiar culture?
Poor kids - what a terrible fate to be born as a girl in a Muslim country.
Muhammad married a six year old bride. But he was kind enough to wait until she was nine years old to consummate the "marriage". But Islam has evolved in 1500 years. In Hamas land, in 2009, the brides are almost seven.
A gala event has occurred in Gaza.
Hamas sponsored a mass wedding for four hundred and fifty couples. Most of the grooms were in their mid to late twenties; most of brides were under ten.
Muslim dignitaries including Mahmud Zahar, a leader of Hamas, were on hand to congratulate the couples who took part in the carefully staged celebration.
We are saying to the world and to America that you cannot deny us joy and happiness, Zahar told the grooms, all of whom were dressed in identical black suits and hailed from the nearby Jabalia refugee camp.
Each groom received a gift of 500 dollars from Hamas.
The pre-pubescent girls, dressed in white gowns and adorned with garish make-up, received bridal bouquets.
We are presenting this wedding as a gift to our people who stood firm in the face of the siege and the war, Local Hamas strongman Ibrahim Salaf said in a speech.
The wedding photos tell the rest of the sordid tale.
Twenty-nine percent of these child brides are regularly beaten and molested by their husbands in Egypt ; twenty six percent receive similar abuse in Jordan.
Every year, three million Muslim girls are subjected to genital mutilation, according to UNICEF. This practice has not been outlawed in many parts of America.
Decide how you really feel about the future of the Western World.

Islam's Invasion
by Martel Sobieskey
In the same way that a fake $100 bill is not legitimate currency, Islam is a counterfeit religion and therefore does not qualify for first amendment status. It is extremely incorrect to categorize Islam as a religion when its core literature and bloody track record prove a thousand times over that it is an -- Invasion ideology, a shrewd and cunning predator -- disguising itself as a religion.
Irrefutable evidence proves Islam to be a "wolf in sheep's clothing" and a "Trojan horse" hell bent upon destroying all religions and nations worldwide. This irrefutable evidence is a book called the Koran where Allah commands that all Muslims must wage Jihad until the entire world and every single person is either converted to Islam, enslaved, murdered, tortured or abused.
"Fight them until all opposition ends, and all submit to Allah" (Koran: 8:39)
The Koran is a Manual of War
It is an error for anyone to call Islam a religion, but for those who insist, it's best referred to as a "Religion of War" that has arrived on our shore as an enemy invader for the sole purpose of conquering our nation. This point cannot be overemphasized.
The Koran vows to vanquish all religions and nations worldwide. Allah himself is the protagonist who relishes the role of a "hit man" vowing to knock off every person who rejects Islam -- sending them to burn in everlasting hell. For Allah, there is nothing more heinous and loathsome than those infidels (non-believers) who refuse to convert, and there is nothing he will not do to eradicate them.
"I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore, smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off their fingers and toes." (Koran 8:12)
"Allah wished to confirm the truth by his words: Wipe the infidels out to the last." (Koran: 8:7)
Read the Koran for Yourself
Don't take my word on it. Read the Koran. By so doing you will be outraged and ask, "Why in heavens name would any person with integrity and intellectual objectivity call such a blood thirsty and homicidally bigoted "tirade" -- a sacred and holy book?"
Below are two sources for authentic passages from the Koran. The first is entitled "Islamic Quotes" taken from prophetofdoom.net . It provides a few hundred quotes organized into 30 different categories and is very "digestible" giving immediate insight into the malevolence of the Koran and related Islamic texts. The second is an article by Citizen Warrior encouraging everyone to read the Koran, especially "An Abridged Koran" by CSPI. The advantage of the abridged version is that it eliminates monotonous repetition and provides commentary giving a comprehensive perspective and meaning to the text.
Neutralizing Islam
One does not need a crystal ball to foretell that Islam will turn America into a living hell if left unchecked. 9/11 was America's initiation into the so called "religious rites" of Islam. Millions of Americans are outraged that the real culprit in this attack has been given a "free pass" to continue its rampage.
Since 9/11, the religion of peace website has documented 16,124 deadly attacks committed by Islam as mandated by the Koran. These prove that Islam does not deserve the status of a religion and that America has been hoodwinked by so doing. We need to face reality, and implement effective methods if we wish to protect our nation from this religious imposter.
One writer bringing clarity to the situation is Daniel Greenfield. In his article: "Can We Ban Islam? Legal Guidelines for the Criminalization of Islam in the United States" he states in the affirmative that America can legally ban Islam because:
"Organizations aimed at the overthrow of the United States can be banned and membership in them can even be criminalized."
They key word here is "overthrow". Any group that wishes to overthrow the United States can be banned. It is well past time for open debate and discussion upon this issue in regards to Islam.
To reiterate, Islam does not qualify for religion status in the USA because it an Invasion Ideology which absolutely mandates the conquest of the United States. Please see my related article entitled "Demoting Islam's Religion Status" it provides the basic elements for discussion and reflection. Also, a must see "you tube" video named "3 Things about Islam" provides a concise summary of the challenge we face. It is imperative for all Americans to learn the truth about Islam or it will eventually destroy us.
Martel Sobieskey has 36 years research experience in the field of religious conditioning and its relationship to warfare. He is greatly alarmed that American politicians, military commanders, educators, journalists, intelligence analysts, and security and police personnel have failed to comprehend the deeply entrenched jihadist conditioning inherent in all of Islam – moderates included.

Tension between IMF and Europe amid efforts to restart talks on Greek bailout
DIVISIONS BETWEEN the International Monetary Fund and Europe over the debt crisis spilled out into the open as the IMF pressed the European Central Bank to accept losses on its holdings of Greek bonds.
The tension between the Washington-based fund and its European partners comes amid efforts to restart talks in Athens on a big private-creditor contribution to the second Greek bailout.
The IMF's push for the ECB to join the effort to bring the Greek national debt back on to a sustainable footing reflects its concern that the current plan for Greece will not achieve the targeted debt level on time.
This calls into question the feasibility of an initiative that aims to cut Greece's national debt to 120 per cent of gross domestic product by 2020 from 160 per cent.
The ECB, which opposed moves to seek a haircut on privately held Greek bonds, is resisting pressure from the IMF to take a loss, and senior euro zone officials say it is unlikely to yield.
In Paris yesterday, however, IMF chief Christine Lagarde publicly raised the question as to whether public bodies should also bear losses on their holdings of Greek bonds.
"The balance between the participation of the private and the public sector is a concerning question," she told reporters. "If the level of Greek debt held by the private sector is not sufficiently renegotiated, then public sector holders of Greek debt should also participate in the efforts."
Her remarks were received as an implicit reference to the ECB, which has acquired €40 billion in Greek bonds since its intervention in secondary debt markets in 2010.
This is at odds with key tenets of euro zone leaders' policy on Greece, under which debt relief should be confined to the private sector.
Under this policy Greece must fully repay all loans drawn from the ad-hoc European fund backing its first EU-IMF bailout. The same principle will apply to a further package of loans from the European Financial Stability Facility under the country's second bailout.
At the insistence of Germany of and other donor countries, such policies flow from political concern to minimise the risk to taxpayers' money and to ensure the private sector bears costs in the rescue effort.
An ECB spokesman declined to comment on Ms Lagarde's remarks, but referred to statements made by the bank's chief Mario Draghi and his deputy, Vítor Constâncio, at a press conference three weeks ago.
Mr Constâncio said the ECB stance had not changed since Mr Draghi's predecessor, Jean-Claude Trichet, ruled out any haircut on its Greek debt holdings. "PSI, by definition, is private sector involvement, so we are not involved in those negotiations," he said.
The schism is not the first between the IMF and the EU authorities. When Ireland's bailout was under negotiation in late 2010 the IMF agreed losses should be imposed on senior bank bondholders to reduce the cost of propping up the sector. The ECB succeeded in blocking any such departure, and continues to do so.
Talks between Greece and its private creditors are set to resume today, two days after euro zone finance ministers rejected a debt-swap offer from the Institute of International Finance (IIF) banking lobby.
"It is clear that what happens in the coming days will affect the country's course for years," said Greek government spokesman Pantelis Kapsis. "We are now in the most delicate phase of the negotiations to complete the debt swap."
The IIF said a meeting of Greek creditors in Paris yesterday resolved to send IIF chief Charles Dallara and co-negotiator Jean Lemierre, adviser to the BNP Paribas chairman, back to Athens.
"The goal is to agree on all outstanding legal and technical issues as soon as possible," it said.
The talks will turn to the rate of interest to be applied on new Greek bonds, which will be issued in exchange for old debt.
Concerned Greece's debt would remain too high under a "final" IIF offer, euro zone finance ministers insisted the rate should be less than 3.5 per cent until 2020. The IIF plan would start at a rate of 3.5 per cent, rising in stages every two years to 5 per cent by 2020.
EU officials say there is no certainty the latest round of talks will be wrapped up before an EU summit on Monday. European Council chief Herman van Rompuy is likely resist discussion on the Greek bailout at the summit if a private sector involvement deal is not already in place.

Product Description
These stunning .925 sterling silver evil eye earrings measure 5mm x 10mm and weighs 1 gram. The evil eye earrings are a light blue glass with the evil eye in the center of a light blue flower.
Evil Eye Fact #2
The people who praise you probably mean you no harm, but still, evil spirits can piggyback in on their words or looks, and put a bad luck curse on you through the power of the evil eye.
Evil Eye – A Brief Summary
The evil eye is a belief that a person can harm you, your children, or your belongings simply by looking at them with envy and praising them. Jealousy, envy, or praise can inflict all kinds of misfortune. The penetrating look is believed to cause illness, injury, or death upon its intentional or unintentional target. Most common is the belief that the evil eye can cause things to whither away or dry up -- the loss of crops, drying up of milk in nursing mothers, impotency in men, and illness among children, are all commonly attributed to the evil eye. The belief of the evil eye has no religious boundaries as it coexists with almost every religion from Christianity to Islam. It is in fact mentioned in the Old Testament and a big part of the Jewish folklore as well. Throughout history, the evil eye has affected the lives of many and has shaped many cultures in their beliefs and behavior. Baby clothes and cribs will feature an evil eye pin cars will have an evil eye hanging on the rear-view mirror while homes will have various forms of wall hanging evil eye throughout. Evil eye jewelry is a popular choice where an evil eye bracelet or an evil eye pendant as an accessory might be enough to void off the effects of the evil eye around you. The object is to protect your loved ones or your possessions from the effects of the evil eye. Today, belief in the evil eye is very much alive, especially so in Italy, Greece, Turkey, India, South America, and the Arab world. All these cultures have different names for the Evil Eye from "Mal Ojo" in Spanish to "Baskania" in Greek. Indians call it "Drishtidosham and the Arabs call it"Ayin Harsha". Evil eye is also referred to as the Lucky eye perhaps to emphasize the positive effects of wearing a piece of evil eye jewelry where not only will it protect you from the onlookers but also bring you luck along the way. Regardless of the word or phrase they use to refer to it, one thing is for certain. While there are many who insist the evil eye is nothing more than good old-fashioned superstition, to the believers of the evil eye its powers are nothing to be taken lightly.

Keywords; immobilisation arthritis.
Cartilage degeneration sets in when joints are deprived of movement, for whatever reason.
My first conscious experience of it was some twenty five years ago when I was consulted my a young man with low back pain caused by a very odd gait; he was unable to bend his right knee.
Five years previously he was shot in the upper thigh with a high calibre rifle. The femur shattered, his whole leg, foot to hip, was immobilised in a plaster cast for over a year. At the end of the period, the fracture healed but he was unable to bend his knee even slightly, and never regained the movement. Starved of nutrition from the normal effect of joint fluids swilling about in the knee, the cartilage rapidly, and irreversibly, degenerated.
That in effect is what happens in the spine when much smaller facet and disc joints become fixated. The hyaline cartilage that lines the ends of bones is utterly dependent on the synovial fluid within the joint for its requirements. Should the nutrients and oxygen not be replenished, and waste products removed, immobilisation arthritis sets in.
A degenerative facet joint as seen on CT scan.
1. Cervical Spine degeneration.
Mrs S, 42 years old, consulted me three weeks ago (June 2009) complaining of severe arm pain and tingling in the thumb and forefingers of both hands. Worse, burning pain on the soles of both feet and, in the mandibular distribution (left) of Cranial Nerve V, numbness and tingling.
The condition started insidiously in 2004. There was no known cause, and no trauma is recalled. There was (and is) no pain in the neck. She did complain of stiffness in the neck, however.
A tentative diagnosis of MS was made in 2006 by a neurologist. Parkinsons medication eased the pain sufficiently for her to sleep at night, but had abhorrent side effects. Nothing else helped.
For the purposes of this page on immobilisation arthritis, orthopaedic and neurologic details will be omitted.
Notice the relatively minor degenerative changes in the first and third xrays taken in 2006. The radiological report states that there is slight loss of C5 C6 disc space. The spinal canal has sufficient depth, and the foramina are all normal.
Notice the severe changes that have occurred in only three and a half years. I have only shown the right oblique, but the left is almost identical.
Notice the advanced degenerative changes in the unco-verebtral joints bilaterally. The astonishingly swift Immobilisation Arthritis gives testimony to the importance of normal joint nutrition and movement.
The ins and outs of this case have not yet been satisfactorily settled. The MRI does not give clear cut signs of cord impression causing long tract signs in her feet. The absence of obvious TMJ symptoms leaves the numbness in the face unexplained. Hyperparathyroidism should be considered. She does also have an upper cervical fixation, perhaps effecting the sensory nucleus of cranial nerve V in the upper neck. The association of TMJ and upper cervical subluxations is of course legendary.
Here we can see exactly the same pathological process occurring in the calcaneo-cuboid joint.
1. Chiropractic Subluxation
A subluxation from the Chiropractic viewpoint, is a HYPO-mobile joint with DECREASED movement, but no instability due to ligamentous damage.
It is this loss of movement that causes Immobilisation Arthritis.
2. Medical Subluxation
A subluxation on the other hand, from a Medical viewpoint, is a HYPER-mobile joint as would occur in trauma, or interestingly in conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis. Ligamentous laxity allows for INCREASED movement.
Is it any wonder that confusion reigns? In the Chiropractic model, mobilisation and manipulation (or an adjustment, as I still call it) is the treatment of choice. In the Medical model, it's strictly contraindicated.
Mechanoreceptors in ligaments, muscles, capsules and the skin (and other) record movement in the joint, amongst other things, giving the CNS vital information about position sense, and contributing to posture and balance.
Interestingly, in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord they have an INHIBITORY effect on information relayed from Nociceptors.
Nociceptors do not carry pain sensation, but they inform the CNS about noxious stimuli and other potentially harmful information from the body.
In particular, chemosensitive nociceptors carry information about noxious stimuli to a nerve root, for example, that is being bathed in the toxic byproducts of joint cartilage nutritiion. Normally such wastes would be dispersed, but in hypo-mobile joints, such wastes accumulate causing a noxious effect on the capsule, hyaline cartilage and adjacent nerves.
Cell degeneration has been demonstrated within thirteen hours (in white mice) of artificial joint fixation. These degredation products set up an inflammatory cycle further adding to the dorsal horn bombardment by nociceptors.
Hypomobile joints cause INCREASED noxious stimuli entering the dorsal horn, and DECREASED inhibition of this nociceptor activity by mechanoreceptors in the dorsal horn.
Initially, this is a silent process. There is no pain, that comes later.
Worse, this increased nociceptor activity has been shown to have a cascading effect on the autonomic system, and general health.
Histologically ...
On X-ray, Osteo Arthritis and Immobilisation Arthritis are indistinguishable. But histologically they are quite different. There are many hundreds of peer-reviewed jounral articles dating back to the 1960's confirming and defining Immobilisation Arthritis.
Okazaki et al (JRheum 2003)
Proteoglycans are chemicals found in the spaces between collagen fibres. They have special water-binding properties giving collagen its elastic properties. They also link individual collagen fibres to one another.
Okazaki and his fellow researchers confirming the existence of Immobilisation Arthritis found that:
Notice here that, once they hyaline cartilage covering of the bone has been breached - in this case by the butcher's saw - fluids in the joint have immediate access to the underlying bone. That's what sets up inflammation, and the cysts that form within arthritic bone.
The nucleus pulposis has a very high metabolic rate, but no blood supply. It lives only 'because of movement' (Mooney, Spine 1987), movement being the nutritional pump that drives nutrients, oxygen and waste products in and out of the disc. Without movement the water-binding property of the proteogycans in the nucleus is lost as the cells, starved of nutrients, begin to degenerate as Immobilisation Arthritis sets in.
Worse, waste products and intracellular fluids released as the cells degenerate are trapped within the fixated disc, setting up an inflammatory reaction, and a "chemical radiculitis".
It is the water bound by the proteoglycans in the nucleus that pressurises the disc, keeping the vertebral bodies apart. When it is lost, the disc (as seen in MRI) is lost and it loses its bright white colour. Eventually it's bone on bone.
Notice the normal white disc at L3-L4, and the dark degenerating disc at L4-L5, with the inevitable posterior bulge, also arrowed.
What makes things difficult for chiropractors, and I presume surgeons, is that very often there is more that one disc complaining. In this case, we can see that the lowermost disc at L5-S1 is also bulging. Diagnosing which disc is currently causing symptoms is part of the art of chiropractic.
Patients with degenerating discs sometimes get swelling within the vertebral body itself, seen on MRI. On T2 image an increased intensity of the signal is seen.
Researchers have shown that as the disc degenerates increases the forces on the vertebral endplates, resulting in microfractures and fissures into the subchondral bone. Fluid leaking into the bone causes the hyperintense signal seen above.
Clinically these patients have a deeper, more constant pain, night pain, and pain that ma not respond well to a heavy exercise programme.
Arthritis and chiropractic treatment
Facet hyaline cartilage
The facet joints too only live 'because of movement', to use Mooney's pregnant phrase. The facet cartilage likewise degenerates should it be starved of nutrients and poisoned by toxic wastes caused by spinal fixations. Immobilisation Arthritis.
However another effect occurs: Loss of disc height places an increased load on the facet joints. Further, altered biomechanics places further strain on the facet joints and ligaments. The net result? Facet degeneration.
Arthritis, smoking and obesity are all first cousins. Kissing cousins, that close. The reasons are complex, firstly because of chemical changes in the body as the large fat deposits start to act as glands producing noxious chemicals, but also simply because the increased weight on the joints. Smoking starves joints of their required oxygen. Result: degeneration joint disease.
See someone using a walker. Nine out of ten are obese, and because of the arthritis in hips, knees or feet... OBESITY and ARTHRITIS. Read more ...
As every chiropractor knows, patients who manipulate their own spines apparently get temporary relief but the symptoms and signs soon worsen, often with the onset of a radiculopathy.
Is this a contradiction? If mobilisation and adjustment of fixated joints reduces the toxic effect of joint hypomobility on articular cartilage, why should self-manipulation have the opposite effect?
My theory is that self-manipulation:
That's my theory anyway! Our critics, and some patients, accuse us of discouraging self-manipulation so we chiropractors can make more money out of patients! However, in my experience, self-manipulators inevitably end up with dreadful joint pathology. Furthermore, if they continue to crack their own joints, Chiropractic does not seem to help them.
Many insurance companies now only pay for physical therapists to provide a chiropractic adjustment; that's in the face of powerful research proving that inclusion of DCs to perform their own technique would save them a good deal of money. One has to conclude that political medicine has gone off on another tack to contain our profession.
It's being successful with some doctors of chiropractic quitting. Others become involved in some dodgy practices, like demanding that patients sign up for a whole year of treatment in advance, in order to stay in business.
In recessionary times, the going is tough when the insurance won't pay.
Is the day approaching for a new Wilk versus the AMA and the insurance companies?
The chiropractic profession has tried hard to stay on the moral high ground; those who stoop to unscrupulous practices need to be exposed and disciplined if we are not to stoop to the low blows that medicine has often resorted to contain and eliminate us.

Moving into another year of home education, I've been reevaluating our approach to the way I offer the kids art opportunities. It's changed so many times. I'd set up an art station with everything available so they could help themselves then move things in sight but out of reach so they needed to ask me to reach them. Then I'd totally revert. There's been paint on cushions and glitter embedded in carpet. There've been times when I've needed to ask a baby to give me a pair of scissors left on the floor by a preschooler who's moved on to something else. There's been a lot of frustration around the whole thing.
Lately, we've reached a pretty happy place with it. We have two art stations, one in the dining room and one in the playroom. Only a few things are out so the kids aren't overwhelmed by the options and we can see clearly where everything should go when it's time to tidy up.
Something else has changed along the way. Bit by bit I've been upgrading the materials they use, trading in the "kid" options for real artist quality materials. Drawing pads to paints to sketchbooks to pencils they've all taken a step up and we're really seeing the benefits.
I really think giving kids real tools and materials to work with respects their artistic efforts. It sends the message that we think what they're up to is important and worth more than throwaway materials. The artist sketchbook my six year old uses for her nature journal has become a prized possession. Given the choice between that and a notebook with lighter weight pages, the choice was easily made. And I think it told her that I felt the observations and efforts making their way into that book mattered.
Unsurprisingly, this seems to motivate children to create. Real materials yield a greater reward, the colours more vibrant and the effects more pleasurable. As adults, we know the difference a pen that writes beautifully makes so why wouldn't children feel the same.
Related, this then helps them to focus their artwork, spending more time on their pieces, really getting into the details, experimenting and mastering the materials they're working with. This seems to create less waste as a result, too.
It inspires them to try new things, whether it's thinking bigger or smaller, experimenting with different tools on a different kind of paper or attempting a totally new subject.
The end result also tends to better last and I'm inspired to take greater care in storing or displaying their work, which surely reinforces the cycle of respect and encouragement.

"From an isolated, eventless existence, Jean Strouse extracts something that did not exist for centuries: a woman's interior life."
—Stacy Schiff, The Wall Street Journal
"Engrossing, disquieting … Stunning, this book is haunting."
—Naomi Bliven, The New Yorker
"Jean Strouse's biography of this infantilized, untimely, brilliant, radical, wasted, proud, hysterical woman does her complexity justice. Without didacticism or polemic, Strouse squarely confronts and explores the broad issues of medical and intellectual history that Alice James' life raises so provocatively. Her book is searching and scholarly, fascinating and sound. It is as good a history of Judith Shakespeare as we'll ever have, and its complex lessons, for both men and women, transcend intellectual history and touch life at its moral core."—The Boston Globe
"Miss Strouse, in acquainting us with the younger sister of William and Henry James, has, as it were – and she is witty about Henry's "ineluctable 'as it weres' – written a Jamesian novel, subtle, evasive, embroidered, splendid…. Miss Strouse, who weaves instead of hammering home her delicate points is as expert in literary criticism as she is in recreating family life, medicine, psychology and education in 19th-century America. —John Leonard, The New York Times
"This is an important book for those interested in women's history, in literary biography and for those who want to gain insight into the inner workings of human beings."—The Christian Science Monitor
