Along the way, Ramonet challenges Castro to discuss his views on a number of controversial questions, from human rights and freedom of the press to the repression of homosexuality and the survival of the death penalty in Cuba. This book will stand as the definitive record of an extraordinary life lived in turbulent times.
©2006 Ignacio Ramonet; (P)2008 Tantor
"Enormously fascinating." (Booklist)
"A book of great importance to anyone interested in contemporary history and current events." (Kirkus)
"In His Own Words"
First, I am not pro-Castro. However, having spend some time in his Cuba I was interested in what this head of state had to say. I wanted to get a glimpse of Castro the man. "Fidel Castro: My Life" has gotten me about as close to the man as I could get.
Ignacio Ramonet has spent over 100 hours interviewing Castro. Those thoughts are contained here. The book follows a Q&A format which is helpful. The prose is polished and well read by two readers. One reads the questions and the second plays the part of Castro.
Whatever your attitude toward the Revolution, this book is very interesting. The stories, even from Castro's perspective, are engaging and informative.
The book has a rather lengthy introduction. If you are pro-Revolution, you will be rewarded. If you are anti-Castro, you might not continue the book. I was a little put off, but greatly rewarded for continuing on and opening my mind to the narrative. The introduction is also helpful and should not be skipped because Ramonet details his interview and writing methodology.
Listen to the book if you believe it is fiction. Listen if you believe in Castro.
"Restraint. Resolve. Vision."
I listened to this book while on holiday in Santiago de Cuba and found Castro fascinating: his restraint, resolve, moral vision are inspiring and I think that history will judge him to be one of the towering figures of his century.
"Thrilling Story Despite Your Personal Politics"
This book is written as an interview conducted with Castro over several weeks in the mid-2000's. The narrators both have neutral American accents and makes for easy and enjoyable listening. From the failed attack on the Moncada Barracks to the Sierra Maestra to Cuban Missile Crisis to the fall of the Soviets the author (not Castro) gives a meticulous engineers' diagram of the situation in Cuba.
The Greatest Story The Government Doesn't Want You To Know
"Great story, not so great narration"
The narrator for Castro's voice could not pronounce many of the Spanish words which was a bit annoying.
I really enjoyed it. Very informative.
quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi
Fidel Castro sets the record straight - removing the patent falsehoods perpetuated by the US government and the Cuban "exile" community in Miami.
He tells the truth about events we in the US never hear about - US financed terrorist attacks, assassination attempts, biological warfare and, lets not forget, a cruel economic blockade that is odd - considering how the US kowtows to China(a country that has slaughtered MILLIONS). You'll have a very different view of the phony "war on terror" when you learn of what the US government has done to Cuba over the past five decades.
Forget the lies of those with a vested interest in having a Cuba that is nothing more than a playground for the wealthy elite of the US.
Compared to the books written by US politicians(which are generally never more that campaign publicity), this book is breathtakingly frank. If you want to know the quality of a politician, see how often they admit to their mistakes - or take the blame when something goes wrong. They rarely do, but Fidel Castro does.
This book sets the record straight - which is something we direly need in an era of US Nazi-style propaganda.
"Narrators problem"
It is most distracting that the narrators obviously have made no attempt to learn how to pronounce Spanish, particularly proper names. For the most part their pronunciations are merely grating, but in some cases their pronunciations render names of people and places actually unrecognizable. Although distracting, this detracts from neither the value of the content nor the clarity of the English in the narration.
a humble scholar of the ancients...
great book about the legendary leader!
read, listen to learn many truths about Fidel, el Comandante!
and narration is well-done, engaging and flowing.
Geopolitics, history, and philosophy junkie. I love smoothly flowing prose that moves me effortlessly from one idea to the next.
"A redundant sycophantish Interviewer...Annoying"
Fidel sounds like a cogent logical person who cares about 'HIS' people who he almost led to nuclear annihilation, but when he starts talking about the subject of the "United States" he turns into a loony conspiracy tinfoil hatter. A diehard "Revolutionary" to the end...why would he change now and admit his mistake? Bad interview (really bad) and an overly polished (after the fact) response. Who's voice is that, Fidel's or some speech writer? Hit and miss!
I am the son of Cuban-exile parents who were displaced in the early 60's by Fidel Castro. I have studied Cuban history, in particular the era in which Castro has been a major player. Castro clearly manipulates facts relative to my parents' and many other exiled people's experiences. Upon listening, it became very clear that Fidel has filtered the text to fit his needs. The author provides a disclaimer at the beginning of the book that Fidel reviewed and edited before publishing for more "clarity". I listened with this caveat, not expecting full truth, but, with interest in how Castro portrays himself and the communist regime he has led. In this context, I found the book very interesting, but, would suggest reading other books on Castro to cross-reference historical facts and events.
I enjoyed the first three quarters of this book, as it was historical in nature, and I was fascinated by Castro's dream and the action he took to see it through. But as the last quarter of the book progressed, Castro's self-aggrandizing built to a ridiculous crescendo, and he came off delusional and embittered. Ignacio Ramonet, who asked no tough questions in the first three fourths of the book, asked only a few in the last quarter, and when it was clear that Catro was providing delusional answers, there was zero follow up. This was not an interview. It was a carefully-contrived list if questions that Castro clearly reworked to put himself in the best light. Any self-criticism he offers is qualified. While Cuba has made some remarkable progress in realizing Catro's dream of socialism, Castro has held his people back from being a free people, which is indisputable, and for that, he has no remorse. He blames all of Cuba's woes on the US, and refuses to accept that he could have changed Cuba for the better if he had really cared about his people as much as his ideals and his legacy. He stopped being relevant decades ago, as did The Revolution, and there was no one willing to confront him in his own country. Narrators capable of correct pronunciation of Spanish should have been selected. Some of the pronunciation was really lousy and distracting. My advice is, stop listening after Part Three.

There's been some discussion on the mailing list about changing the type of Control.Monad.when. I had a need a little while back for the old LISP anaphoric-if. I also had a need for something that turned out to be in Control.Monad already — when (but I didn't know it at the time). Since then, I've been throwing together miscellaneous useful control flow mechanisms, and I've packaged them in Control.Monad.IfElse. In this post, I'll talk a little bit more about how to use them and when.
First, there's the anaphoric if, when, and conditional: aif, awhen, and acond. By anaphoric, we mean to say that the result of the conditional test is used as part of the result.
awhen :: Maybe a -> (a -> m ())
aif :: Maybe a -> (a -> m b) -> m b -> m b
acond :: Monad m => [(Maybe a, a -> m ())] -> m ()
In all cases, if the value of the test is "Just a", then a gets passed into a clause. In the case of awhen, the clause takes a and returns an m () (in my case, usually IO or Render). In the case of aif, there is a parameterless else clause that is evaluated upon a Nothing. And finally, acond takes a list of pairs where the first element is being tested and the second is the clause that is evaluated for a on a "Just a" There are also lifted variants of these, awhenM, aifM, and acondM, where the Maybe a is encased in a monad.
In addition, the documentation isn't generated for them, but there are a few operators that exist in the source. I'll update the doc to reflect them, but
(>>?) is a synonym for when
(>>=?) is a synonym for awhen
Usage for these is:
test >>? clause
atest >>=? (\a -> clause)
In addition, there are liftM2-ed logical and and or, (||^) and (&&^).
The rest are pretty well documented in the Haddock. There is a cond and condM, which is like an if-else-if chain (and ncond and ncondM are unless else chains). There's a whenM counterpart to when, where the test is lifted into the same monad as the clause. There's whileM and untilM, which unfold their clauses until the test is False (or True in the case of until). There's return', which is return, but strict in its argument. And finally there's "returning," which is a substitute for "clause >> return a"
That's most of the library. Enjoy.

I can't laugh. I simply can't.
I do wonder though, how the ghouls at the Tea Party GOP debate on Monday who laughed at the thought of someone dying for lack of insurance would react to a man who has received criminally negligent care for his 150 pound testicles?
I also wonder what would have transpired if the moderators at the CNN debate had asked Ron Paul about care for an unlucky person whose genitals are so enlarged that he can barely leave the house? Would the charities and churches step up to help John, he who is plagued with edema of the testes?
Universal health care is a human rights issue. It is also a basic issue of economic efficiency where Americans receive some of the worst health care in the advanced industrialized world while spending the most for treatment.
To point, do check out John's entire interview on the Howard Stern. His experience is an ideal typical case that exemplifies all that is wrong with America's broken health care system.
When I hear stories such as this, it is abundantly clear that we are truly a laughing stock.
In all, I struggle to understand the following: how can the flag waving American exceptionalism crowd not feel any embarrassment and lower their heads in shame at the sorry state of medicine in these United States?
I have long known the answer.
Empathy is not a standing prior for Conservatives. Their reaction to the neediest, the most vulnerable, and the poor is proof of that fact. While Conservatives are fond of crowing about a truism which suggests that folks like them give the most to charity, I have long realized that such acts of "generosity" are vainglorious deeds of self-affirmation and not part of a principle of mutual aid and support in the interest of the Common Good.
Am I wrong?

Live Blogging Top Chef: All-Stars, Week 13
The two-part, Bahamas-based season finale gets underway tonight. So grab a big floppy straw hat and a tropical drink, and join us as we all live-blog it in the comments! Bikini-wearing is optional.
You don't have to drink, of course, to enjoy this live blog—feel free to imbibe in any substance or sustenance of your choosing. But if do want to prepare a cocktail for our little viewing party, I'd suggest mixing up a Bahama Mama, in honor of tonight's locale. Here's a simple recipe I found online:
- 1/2 ounce regular rum
- 1/2 ounce coconut-flavored rum
- 1/2 ounce grenadine syrup
- 1 ounce orange juice
- 1 ounce pineapple juice
- 1 cup crushed ice
Just toss that all together in a blender, and enjoy. And here's how to enjoy this little Wednesday night party of ours, if you haven't joined us before: First, turn on your TV and keep your laptop or computer keyboard handy. Then, when Top Chef starts (at 10 Eastern on Bravo), post quips and observations about what you see in the comments section below this post. The rest of us will be doing the same (with or without the straw hats). To get an idea of how it all works, you might want to check out some highlights from last week. Other notable highlights included:
- Everyone hated the "snack-bar quickfire" contest. Have Top Chef's gimmicky junk-food-challenges finally jumped the shark?
- During the Ellis Island-themed challenge, commenter sarrible bemoaned that Marcel's earlier elimination meant that we missed a chance to learn about the native cuisines of his "horned elf-people" ancestors.
- Commenters debated the pros and cons of okra. Pros discussed included: You can deep-fry it, and it can be good if it's "cooked perfectly." Cons included: It's slimy, it's slimy and it's slimy. Also, it's slimy.
- In the end, nobody lost, and everyone was a winner. It was like the Top Chef Special Olympics!
Tonight's episode looks like a real winner too, based on what I saw in the preview clips. Here are few things to watch for as we live-blog tonight:
- The quickfire round will feature a visit by memorable winners of seasons past, including Michael Voltaggio, Hosea Rosenberg, Stephanie Izard and, um, that guy who won last season. What was his name again?
- In discussing a piece of kitchen equipment, Richard Blais will tell Mike Isabella: "You want to toggle the Fahrenheit to Celsius—you know how to do that?" To which Mike will reply, "Huh?" That exchange basically sums up all you need to know about both these guys.
- We'll hear that one dish's ingredients include "pulled pork and pickled turnips," and that another contains "bacon, Brussels sprouts, and blue cheese." Based on that, I predict that the theme of tonight's elimination-challenge will be "ingredient alliteration."
- Here's a new drinking-game rule: Drink whenever you see Padma wearing a bikini. My hope is that we'll invoke that one often tonight.
OK gang, it's time to get this limbo party started! Join me down in the comments, and let's see how low we can go!

Bills will hold live scrimmage, tackling and all
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 27 2013 1:59PM
Going against the grain of the past seven years of training camps with the Buffalo Bills, St. John Fisher College will see a live scrimmage in 2013.
While there have been some live drills along the goaline over the past few years, a full-scale scrimmage with live tackling hasn't been a part of the training camp process in Pittsford for quite some time.
It's a new era under Head Coach Doug Marrone, and he's excited for that very day.
"For us right now, we'll work on tackling every day, work on those drills every day that you have to be able to do from a contact standpoint, but we'll avoid that with the players early on until we drill it and get a foundation," Marrone started. "So my philosophy is, we'll have a big scrimmage Tuesday night. That'll be a big scrimmage down the road. That will be a live scrimmage."
As for when this will happen, there was a little confusion when Marrone brought up that it would be happening on Tuesday night. The way the schedule is laid out, the Bills have a morning practice this coming Tuesday, July 30 and have next Tuesday, August 6 as one of their off days.
Marrone also said it would be ahead of the preseason games, which rules out the Tuesday night practice on August 20.
As it turns out, the live scrimmage will be on Monday, August 5 a member of the Bills public relations staff clarified, one of five night practices scheduled for this year's training camp. Marrone did confirm that there would be live hitting and tackling on that night.
The practice will start off with some warmups, individual work and 7-on-7's, but then ultimately break out into a full-scale scrimmage. As it goes with any of the night practices, fans will need a ticket for entrance to that session which starts at 6 pm.

Livestock ID system in testing
June 16, 2005
Branding has long identified a farm animal's owner. Now New Mexico ranching industry leaders are finding ways to track their animals with advances in technology, such as the National Identification System in its early stages within the state.
The Tri-National Animal Health and Identification Consortium recently launched a pilot series to test the new livestock identification system on Quay County 4-H and FFA livestock, which will allow the Department of Agriculture to trace an animal to any registered location it has visited since it was entered into the system.
"This system provides protection for the producer," said Stan Jones, Curry County extension agent and local calf operation administrator. "This provides record of where the animal has been and can be traced all the way back to the producer should there be problems down the line."
Jones said the idea is for health officials to be able to track an animal in case it contracts mad-cow disease or some other serious illness that could pose dangers to other animals or people.
Animal ID Specialist Ron Parker said tags may also aid in the origin of bioterrorism attacks on the industry.
An ear tag the size of a bottle cap containing an antennae is stamped into the animal's ear. The tag is scanned with a wand, a device similar to a small hand-held metal detector used by airport security. The ID number scanned is later logged into a database compiled by the USDA.
While the Tri-National Consortium is actuating the pilot program under state regulations, the ID program will be a national procedure mandated by the USDA by January 2009. The Consortium is asking livestock producers to register their premises, sites that will contain their livestock at any point in time whether it be a ranch, auction or grazing allotment.
Parker helped area producers to get a head start on compiling information for the ID system Thursday morning at an animal ID seminar at the Curry County Extension office.
"This is a health program," Parker said. "(The tag, once scanned) will provide where the cow has been, who the producer is, and what marketing channels it has been through."
The program is not limited to cattle, however, as other food-potential animals will also be included in the ID system, Parker said.
Local producers are concerned with the expense that is involved with purchasing the new tags, costing about $2.50 per head, Parker said, and he does not see the government subsidizing the program once it is up and running.
The Tri-National Consortium consists of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, several Indian Nations in the southwest and two states in Mexico.

Fringe bag
"I'm not a fan of fringe on anything really but I love this purse! It's super cute and I fell in love with the black and white detailing on the straps and the front design. Only complaints about this bag is that it's narrow width wise but very deep so all of your stuff with fall to the bottom of the bag. There are a few pockets on the inside though. It's a small sacrifice for the chicness of this purse."

Newcastle boss Gary Gold has named an unchanged line-up for his side's must-win encounter with Wasps on Saturday.
Newcastle boss Gary Gold has named an unchanged line-up for his side's must-win Aviva Premiership clash with Wasps on Saturday.
The Falcons need to win, score four or more tries and deny Wasps a losing bonus point to avoid being relegated from the Premiership.
Despite coming up short 9-3 against Saracens last time out, Gold has retained the combination that competed valiantly.
It has been the boot of Jimmy Gopperth that has been the architect of many a Falcons win, but the Kingston Park outfit will need tries – not just points from the Kiwi's boot – if they're to do the business this time around.
"First and foremost we have to win the game and no other factors come into the equation without that," asserted Gold.
"I would be lying if I said [needing to score four tries] was not a factor and it had not changed our approach, but in saying that there has never been a game we have gone into where I have said I don't want us to score four tries," he added.
"We always want to do that, especially given the position we have been in, but the reality is that we are going to have to go down to Wasps and do something we have never done before.
"To be absolutely blunt about it we need to be a hell of a lot better than we have been."
Wasps welcome back skipper Marc Wentzel for the game, with the South African slotting into the second row. Wentzel's return sees Joe Launchbury switch to the back row, with Sam Jones moving into the number seven jersey vacated by the injured Jonathan Poff.
In the back-line, Richard Haughton is named at full-back while Elliot Daly comes into the outside centre position to partner Dom Waldouck in the midfield.
"As I have been saying all week, the focus tomorrow is simply on the winning the game and if we do that everything else will take care of itself," Wasps chief Dai Young told the club's official website.
"I have no doubt Newcastle will come here full of belief they can do the job they need to, so it's up to us to make sure we are in control. I know the boys are very excited about the chance to run out in front of a full-house and our fans will create a wonderful atmosphere."
Form: London Wasps require two points from this game to preserve Premiership Rugby for next season, less could be enough providing they do not suffer a big loss with a margin of over 23 points. Wasps have won just two games in the competition since round seven: versus London Irish and Gloucester. Newcastle Falcons have to win this encounter to give themselves any chance of avoiding relegation. The Falcons have picked up eleven league points from their last five fixtures, with two wins at home to Sale and away at Gloucester. The last three games between the two clubs have all been won by the home side on the day, whilst Newcastle's only victory in ten previous visits to Adams Park was 12-6 on 3 January 2010.
The teams:
Wasps: 15 Richard Haughton, 14 Christian Wade, 13 Elliot Daly, 12 Dominic Waldouck, 11 Tom Varndell, 10 Nick Robinson, 9 Charlie Davies, 8 Billy Vunipola, 7 Sam Jones, 6 Joe Launchbury, 5 Marco Wentzel (c), 4 Richard Birkett, 3 Ben Broster, 2 Tom Lindsay, 1 Tim Payne.
Replacements: 16 Vladislav Korshunov, 17 Zac Taulafo, 18 Simon McIntyre, 19 Ross Filipo, 20 Tinus Du Plessis, 21 Nic Berry, 22 Will Robinson, 23 Chris Mayor.
Newcastle: 15 Greg Goosen, 14 Corne Uys, 13 Jamie Helleur, 12 James Fitzpatrick, 11 Ryan Shortland, 10 Jimmy Gopperth, 9 Peter Stringer, 8 Adam Balding, 7 Will Welch, 6 Ally Hogg, 5 Tim Swinson, 4 James Hudson, 3 Euan Murray, 2 Rob Vickers, 1 Jonny Golding.
Replacements: 16 Matt Thompson, 17 Grant Shiells, 18 James Hall, 19 James Goode, 20 Taiasina Tu'ifua, 21 Mark Wilson, 22 Chris Pilgrim, 23 Tom Catterick

On the Friday before Labor Day weekend, Emery hosted the Canyon View Falcons in a preseason football game and sent the visitors home with a 42-13 defeat. The win left the Spartans with a 2-1 season record. The Spartans, after thoroughly dominating the entire game, were tied with the Falcons at the half at 13-13 but Emery used a big second half to grab the win.
Emery picked up more than 500 yards of offense in the game while holding the Falcons to 196 yards of offense. Take away the two scoring drives of the Falcons and they were held to 52 yards of offense in eight possessions the rest of the game.
In the game, Emery had 10 offensive possessions with six of those ending in touchdowns. The other four possessions all ended inside Falcon territory after the Spartans had a first and ten inside the 15-yard line. One possession ended on downs, one ended on a bad snap on a field goal attempt, one ended on a fumble and the last ended as time ran out and Emery took a knee to run out the clock.
Emery was led by their running attack but assisted well by an efficient passing attack. Taylor Cox led the Spartans in rushing for the third straight week, this time with 206 yards on 14 carries. Cox scored on a 78-yard run for his only touchdown. This play was the first play of the second half.
Colton Fasselin also rushed the ball 14 times and Fasselin picked up 114 yards and a touchdown. Fullback Jade Fielder ran the ball eight times for 41 yards and a touchdown.
Quarterback Cody Jones scored on a quarterback sneak plus completed a pass to Kashe Potter for a touchdown and a pass to Nick Stoddard at the three yard line that was caught and fumbled and then recovered by Quinn Montgomery in the end zone for a touchdown.
Emery's touchdown drives were 65 yards, 84 yards, 78 yards, 43 yards, 69 yards and 28 yards. On defense, Emery was led by their linebacker foursome. Jesse Winn led the way with nine tackles, Nathan Mecham had eight tackles, Clay Collard had six tackles and Fasselin ended the game with six tackles.
Emery 53 Carbon 6
Last Friday night, the Emery Spartans hosted Carbon High in another preseason football game and the Spartans came away the winner 53-6. With the win, Emery's season record is now 3-1.
Emery and Carbon played to a first quarter draw as neither team was able to be effective on offense and the team's defense stifled their opponent. Penalties were a big factor in the quarter as several times Emery had big plays but they were nullified by penalties.
Everything went Emery's way after that first quarter though. After netting only 19 yards in their first two series, due in part to those penalties, the Spartans scored on every other possession in the ball game and Emery's defense limited the Dino's to a single touchdown.
Emery scored on seven straight offensive possessions and racked up 420 yards of offense in the game. The three starting running backs accounted for more than 300 of those yards. Taylor Cox continued his impressive running this season with 16 carries for 194 yards and two touchdowns. Colton Fasselin rushed for 69 yards on 10 carries and Fasselin also scored two touchdowns. Jade Fielder carried the ball seven times for 41 yards.
Emery's defense was equally impressive throughout the ball game. The Dinos were limited to 96 yards of offense on the night. Emery's Kashe Potter intercepted a Dino pass and returned it for a touchdown and Emery's Nathan Mecham blocked a Dino punt, which led to another touchdown. Jacob Tuttle led the Spartans with 10 tackles on the night. Emery's first touchdown drive went 95 yards. Fasselin ran once for five yards, Fielder ran twice for 17 yards and Cox ran five times for 71 yards and the score. The second scoring drive went for 40 yards. Fielder ran once for 11 yards, Cox once for 14 yards and Fasselin once for 15 yards and the score.
Emery's next drive went for 80 yards and Nick Stoddard scored on a Cody Jones pass from 31 yards out. Cox carried the ball three times for 47 yards in the drive. Emery then scored on a 65-yard drive with Cox scoring from one yard out. The next drive was for eight yards, this after the blocked punt, and Fasselin scored.
The last two drives were for 76 yards and 37 yards and both drives ended with Jesse Winn scoring. The first was a 10-yard run and the second was a two yard run.
Emery now will host Union High this Friday night in their homecoming contest. Game time is 7 p.m.

We spent Fourth of July weekend way downeast at Cobscook Bay State Park. Campgrounds near Bar Harbor and Moosehead Lake have been booked solid since March, but if you drive northeast and stop just before Canada, you can still get a waterfront site on short notice.
Tourists overlook poor old Washington County, where conveniences are scarce but the coastal scenery is the stuff of calendars and postcards. With its scruffy, rolling blueberry barrens, massive pines, and rocky cliffs dropping away to the ocean, Washington County feels like a well-kept secret compared to the frenzy of southern Maine in July. Massachusetts can have Ogunquit, Boothbay, even Acadia. The empty distances that shelter Washington County from economic development also deter daytrippers, ensuring plenty of privacy and unspoiled views for the rest of us.
This ain't Vermont, though, so vegan food can be hard to find in rural areas. Nearing the end of our two-hour drive, we stopped in Machias at the Fat Cat Deli, a casual lunch spot overlooking the river. I was relieved to find vegetarian chili and a vegan hummus sandwich on the menu. I wasn't expecting much flavor, but the smokey, tangy chili surprised me, and the hearty homemade pita was nothing to scoff at.
For $5.50, I was full all afternoon. We'll definitely make Fat Cat Deli a regular stop on downeast trips.
We arrived at our campsite, on a steep, wooded hill overlooking Whiting Bay. Equipped with books, knitting, and a cooler full of campfire food, we hoped the rain would hold off. Our menu included:• Curried Lentil Burgers with grilled onions
• Prospect Park Potato Salad from Veganomicon
• Cole Slaw, based loosely on this recipe
• Fritos (a picnic necessity)
•VeganomiconWheat-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
•Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale
Outdoor cooking proved problematic, so I wasn't able to get an appetizing picture of this spread. It's rained steadily for the last three weeks, and our soggy firewood was practically inflammable. Instead of a roaring campfire, for most of the weekend we had a smoking, hissing, dripping pit. By the time we finally got flames going the first evening, sacrificing an entire New York Times and an unread New Yorker to the effort, it was long past dark. We spent the better part of the next afternoon trying to build a fire, and when our onions, burgers, and buns were finally grilled to perfection, a thunderstorm rolled in, driving us into the tent with our plates.
We had a great weekend, despite our cooking problems. We took a short hike...
... read by the fire...
... let Graeme and Ellie run wild...
... and made some time to stop and photograph the roses.
I'm daydreaming about what to pack in the cooler on our next camping trip. I'm imagining steamed veggie sausages with grilled peppers and lots of mustard. Please send your camp food suggestions my way!

This product is okay I am not thrilled with the honey included in the product. This may be used as a natural preservative or to sweeten the taste. I like a product not sold currently by Pureformula that doesnt have the honey better. I believe the other product is called Craxtology.

BEIJING – Shanghai GM this evening launched the Chevrolet Trax, its new urban SUV, and hosted the world premiere of the new-generation Chevrolet Cruze at Chevrolet Night in Beijing. The two products are among the 11 Chevrolet models that will be on display at Auto China 2014, which opens tomorrow.
Chevrolet Trax
The Trax urban SUV has a dynamic, muscular exterior with large, 18-inch wheels. Its flexible interior has 25 storage spaces and can carry up to 1,372 liters of cargo. Powering the Trax is a 1.4L turbocharged engine that is mated with a new six-speed automated manual transmission. The Trax generates maximum output of 103 kW and 200 Nm, while achieving fuel economy of 6.9 L/100 km.
The Trax comes with the intelligent all-wheel-drive system, which enables it to effectively take on slippery and bumpy roads. The Trax received a five-star safety rating in Euro NCAP testing. It benefits from eight major safety systems, including Electronic Stability Control, Curve Braking Control and Rollover Mitigation.
To meet the demands of younger customers, the Trax comes with the latest Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system. Its 7-inch full-color touch screen supports a number of user-friendly functions such as eyes-free integration, multimedia entertainment and navigation.
The Trax will be available in China at a price of RMB 119,900 - 159,900. Taiwanese actor Kai Ko and actress Amber Kuo will serve as ambassadors for the Trax across China.
New-Generation Chevrolet Cruze
The much-anticipated new-generation Chevrolet Cruze represents GM's newest entry in the midsize compact car segment. It was developed by GM's global R&D team, which gave the Cruze a new clean-sheet design and brand-new architecture. The team's goal was to set new benchmarks in the segment for fuel economy, handling and intelligent technology.
The new Cruze offers the first expression of Chevrolet's next-generation design language characterized by the slogan "Design with a Heartbeat." Developed with a focus on efficiency and inspired by the Chevrolet Tru Concept, which appeared at Auto China 2012, it features coupe-like flowing lines that support enhanced aerodynamics. A compact body, wheels pushed out to the corners of the car, shorter front and rear overhangs, and a roofline that stretches to the rear make for a spacious interior. A dual-mesh grille extends to the sleek headlights to create a more dynamic visual effect. Chrome-plated trim stretches from the outside rearview mirrors to the rear seat windows, conveying a rhythmic refinement.
The new Cruze is the first model featuring the new-generation Ecotec small-displacement engine co-developed by GM and SAIC. It is available with a choice of the segment's first 1.4L central injection turbocharged engine or the first 1.5L central direct injection natural aspirated engine. The new Cruze is also offered with the all-new DCG seven-speed dual-clutch transmission co-developed by GM and SAIC, an all-new six-speed manual transmission developed in Europe, and the third-generation S6 six-speed automated manual transmission. The powertrains provide best-in-class fuel economy, ride comfort, emissions and quiet performance. The new Cruze is expected to deliver a fuel economy improvement of 14-21 percent compared with its predecessor.
Chevrolet Transformers 4 Stars
Three Chevrolet vehicles that will star in this summer's blockbuster Transformers 4 – the Camaro TF4 Concept, Corvette Stingray and Trax – will make their grand debut at Auto China 2014. A 3.3-meter-tall android that transformed itself from the Trax and a 2.0-meter-tall Camaro robot will show visitors the magic of the movie. The Trax is joining the autobot team for the first time in the fourth installment of the popular Transformers franchise.
In the movie, the Corvette Stingray will transform into a partner of Optimus Prime to lead the autobots onto the battlefield. In reality, the Stingray is the seventh generation of the Corvette, which was originally launched in 1953. Its newly designed 6.2L LT1 V-8 engine boasts maximum output of 338 kW and 635 Nm, resulting in 0-100 km/h acceleration time of only 4 seconds. In addition to a refreshed exterior and interior, the Stingray features a new body structure, chassis and powertrain, as well as other innovative technologies.
The Camaro TF4 Concept has a handsome exterior, with a futuristic-looking front end and body. It has special paint and improved aerodynamic pockets that forge a strong combination of sport and science.
General Motors traces its roots back to 1908. GM has 11 joint ventures, two wholly owned foreign enterprises and more than 58,000 employees in China. GM and its joint ventures offer the broadest lineup of vehicles and brands among automakers in China. Passenger cars and commercial vehicles are sold under the Baojun, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Jiefang, and Wuling brands. In 2014, GM sold more than 3.5 million vehicles in China.

The truly honest might 'fess up to peeing in the kitchen sink when a roommate refused to get out of the goddamn shower when they really, really needed to go. Whatever the case may be you don't take a photo of it and post it on the Twitters for all the world to see – which is what the very classy Ke$ha did when she took a toilet break on the street when she got stuck in traffic. "Pee pee on the street,"she wrote. "PoPo come n get me if u can find meeee. I blame traffik." Why, you might ask? And you'd be right in doing so. [Daily Mail] They were first rumored to be secretly sexing on each other a few weeks back before her rep denied it, and now, following a cozy weekend away, Mila Kunis has come forward herself to say that until you see penetrative photographic evidence you can rest assured she's not fucking Ashton Kutcher. "It's absurd!" she said. "A friend is a friend." Which is unfortunate wording, because as a cursory glance at her IMDB page will tell you, one can have Friends with Benefits. [E!] Mila also hit Vegas with James Franco. Sorry, tabloid whisperers, they're promoting their movie, Oz the Great and Powerful. [People] Rihanna can't take her mom anywhere, but we wish she'd take her everywhere. Escorting her daughter to Time's 100 most influential people party, Monica Braithwaite decided to embarrass her daughter by making a joke about the alleged night of boot knockin' she had with Ashton Kutcher. Sadly, the joke is yet to be made public. "Well....2nt consisted of us singing Bob Marley, drinkin Vintage Scotch, and my mom thinkin a joke abt Kutcher was appropriate! #Thxtime100," Tweeted Rihanna. [Page Six] Part of me wants Hillary Clinton to become the leader of the universe, because if anyone can find a way to fight off the inevitable alien invasion and prevent people Soylent Greening the shit out of each other, it's her. The other, darker side wants her to be reduced to speaking to the public on celebrity chat lines – you just know she'd give the best advice about everything. On that note, here are 45 reasons why she'd be perfect in either future role. [Buzzfeed] It's not only studio execs who think that Jason Segel doesn't look so crash hot naked, the actor himself jokes that he only strips off if he's looking for a few laughs. "Apparently me being naked is funny— onscreen," he said. "In my personal life…. If I take my clothes off it's met with hysterical laughter, for some reason." Michelle Williams seems to disagree. Whether it would have been for laughs or shower nozzle masturbation material, there's no point in seeing Five-Year Engagement now seeing as his nude scene has been cut. "They couldn't find a lens wide enough," he added. [Us] Normally celebrity death hoaxes need a day of confusion to get any traction, but R. Kelly announced he is fine just hours after news of his untimely death surfaced — before any of us were awake to retweet initial reports and upset fans. [ABC]Serial celebrity shagger Alex Rodriguez says he looks up to George Clooney for anti-marriage inspiration. He's my new role model," he said. "I think he's done it right." [Page Six]Here is Chris Brown's karaoke video clip-inspired photo shoot with girlfriend Karrueche Tran. It's got the beach and a sunset, it just needs a white horse galloping in the background and a red rose randomly thrown in and it'll be perfect. [NYDN]Calvin Klein's "troubled" ex Nick Gruber can't decide between rehab or reality TV. I know which I'd prefer, but that doesn't mean it's in his best interests. [NYDN]Watch Rose Byrne get attacked in her home home on this potentially funny (but not really) new interview series. [YouTube]Proving that Steel Magnolias can cross generations – and differing camp sensibilities — Taylor Swift and Dianna Agron dress up and take a photo in honor of Shirley MacLaine's 78th birthday. [E!]Somebody snatched up Carrie Bradshaw's West Village apartment from Sex And The City — for just $9.85 million they too can now have tourists taking endless photos in front of their place. [Us]Brandy says she had an eating disorder as a teen. [Us]It'll make the floor show a little less entertaining but it's probably for the best that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have agreed to keep the peace for the sake of their kids. [People]She's been a total trouper while attending court to ensure her mother, brother and nephew's killer is brought to justice, but Jennifer Hudson understandably stepped out of the room when the jury were shown crime scene photos.

LONDON — Accountancy firm Deloitte said Thursday it has been appointed receiver of one of London's most iconic buildings, the Gherkin.
The 41-story office tower in London's financial district is co-owned by Germany's IVG Immobilien AG, which went into bankruptcy protection last year.
Deloitte said Thursday that the building had run into difficulties due to its "complex, multicurrency capital structure." Its debt burden has risen through having a loan partly in Swiss francs, whose value has risen substantially against the pound in recent years.
IVG Immobilien bought the building for 600 million pounds in 2007, but has struggled with debts since the 2008 financial crisis.
Deloitte's Neville Kahn said "lenders were reluctant to appoint a receiver but felt they had no choice due to the ongoing defaults" since 2009.
Kahn said the receivers' aim was to preserve the value of a "truly exceptional building" and to ensure there would be no interruption of services to tenants.
The Norman Foster-designed tower, nicknamed the Gherkin for its distinctive pickle-like shape, houses offices of insurance company Swiss Re.

EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 1 GB DDR3 PCI-E 2.0 16X DVI/HDMI/VGA Graphics Card, 01G-P3-1302-LR Review
Overall Rating (out of 5):
However, you will also be upgrading your computer's performance and, theoretically, increasing its longevity with a new graphics card. As I did not purchase this for it is raw processing power, games, frame rates, etc., I will be focusing on its suitability in a business environment. The video card is a true 1/2 size and does come with 1/2 size brackets if you need to install in a smaller case, but come with the full size bracket installed, really to use. I will still keep this card for other computers, as it is a good card. This is a great video card, especially for a computer that only has integrated graphics installed.
Product Pros:
- He can play all his games now and the picture is so clear that it looks real.
- For the price and the age of the machine, I am very happy with it.
- This card will perform well, offer the support you need, and help boost your productivity.
Product Cons:
- Good value card if anyone needs a cheap video card to game or just to do video work.
Because of what we have written above, we advise that you buy EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 1 GB DDR3 PCI-E 2.0 16X DVI/HDMI/VGA Graphics. The pros are greater than the cons of this product. Our position is that it would be a good decision to buy this product. To acquire this product, follow the exciting offer below!

Skip to comments.Was The Georgia Secretary Of States Decision Greased?
Posted on 02/21/2012 1:09:21 PM PST by NJ_Tom
That thing was greased, as they say in Chicago, referring to a political phenomenon known as being handled before table. Well, bloggers are asking, was it? Word now coming out reveals just two days after Secretary of State Brian Kemp gave Barack Obama the green light to appear on Georgia election ballots,, the Department of Energy awarded Kemps state an eye popping $8.3 billion loan guarantee to begin construction on two nuclear plants. In the face of a shocking dissent by Nuclear Regulatory Commission CHAIRMAN Director Gregory B. Jazcko, four other commissioners approved awarding Southern Energy the first nuclear construction licenses since 1978, just one year before the tragedy of the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster put a hold on new U.S. nuclear plant construction.
Not with me, it wouldn't be. The words, "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my county," ring in my ears.
Somebody got to Malihi the Judge.
He allowed the case to come to his court, he sent out a subpoena to Obama, and then the case was just dropped off a cliff.
Somebody was greased all right, and the Judge got his share of the grease.
If they got to the judge, why did he offer the plaintiffs a default judgement that would have take Obama off the ballot?
He offered them everything they wanted and they rejected the deal.
Yeah, it's pretty telling that
1) they claim that the document posted online is a "scan" of the actual document.
2) no, they won't show the actual document, it's "sealed".
Can you point to and link any proof that that happened?
Obama is being blackmailed over his eligibility. If it is this bad with our own states doing it, what is he giving away internationally to friends and enemies? What is he giving away to persons like George Soros? This was my worse fear about this whole fiasco.
By rejecting the default, they were able to introduce their evidence and make it part of the legal record - and, therefore, a sound basis for an appeal.
From the judge's decision:
"Ordinarily, the Court would enter a default order against a party that fails to participate in any stage of a
proceeding. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 616-1-2-.30(1) and (5). Nonetheless, despite the Defendant's failure to appear, Plaintiffs asked this Court to decide the case on the merits
of their arguments and evidence. The Court granted Plaintiffs' request."
A sound basis for appeal only if their arguments were themselves legally sound.
And that' the issue in a nut shell - no one out side of the eligibility crowd thinks that the natural born citizen = two citizen parents is a legally valid argument.
This doesn't say a default order was offered. It describes the typical scenario, but since Malihi acted in place of Obama's defense attorney, there's no reason to assume he wouldn't have done so without holding the hearing.
The Indiana Appeals Court affirmed that it is indeed legally valid. It was the ONLY question that it directly acknowledged was answered in Minor v. Happersett. Of course, they failed to understand that Minor also answered the question about the children of aliens and split parentage, by showing they could only become citizens through naturalization or Constitutional amendment.
Honor, honesty and decency are all but extinct.
" Footnotes?"
"since Malihi acted in place of Obamas defense attorney"
Care to elaborate on this?
I should have worded it to say:
"no one out side of the eligibility crowd thinks that the natural born citizen = two citizen parents is the only legally valid definition."
Because that is what WKA did - address those other circumstances that Minor v. Happersett deliberately did not address.
Then neither Obama , nor his lawyer showed up, and instead of forcing the subpoena, he just makes a ruling agains those who did show up.
Doesn't make sense.
There was no completed birth certificate at the time of his birth BECAUSE he wasn't born in Hawaii.
MvH did address those other circumstances. This is the great flaw in the Ankney argument. They only read enough of the decision to find an inconvenient definition of NBC and failed to read the next few sets of paragraphs where Waite talks about how the children of alien parents can be naturalized. Otherwise, Ankeny correctly acknowledged that Minor answered the question about how NBC is defined: all children born in the country to TWO citizen parents.
Malihi is an Iranian and I would bet even money he is a Muslim. Muslims are not paragons of integrity. I have had a few dealings with Muslims and found them and people with similar mindsets to be very capable of sleight of word and acts. There probably was a set up but having a Muslim made it an easy go.
Today, Rush was talking about how vulnerable JFK and Clintoon were to blackmail due to their constant sexula exploits...and was hinting that O was also vulnerable in some way...he made clear it wasn't due to 'cheating on his wife', snort....

Dear Patriots,
Barrack Obama says we all should play by the same set of Rules .so now, Lets hold him to it. HB1046 passed out of committee today 7-2 Thanks to Rep. Lyle Rowland, a leader with courage and a special thank you to all of the other patriots that testified in support of this Bill on Feb 14. Now we need to call every State Representative and let them know that Obama said we all need to play by the same set of rules. Missouri must live up to our Name. Lets Show the rest of the Country that we are holding Obama to his commitment to play by the same set of rules. I was required to show proof of eligibility in 2010 in accordance with the U.S. Constitution to run for U.S. Senate. So then, let us now talk about the Natural Born Citizen requirement that the same constitution requires of the President and Vice President to hold office. Please forward and BCC all your contacts if you live in Missouri and have them do the same. Lets make these calls starting tomorrow. Thank you.

Newcastle lost 9-3 to Saracens at Kingston Park on Friday, but not without a fight as the hosts fought tooth and nail until the end.
Newcastle lost 9-3 to Saracens at Kingston Park on Friday, but not without a fight as the hosts fought tooth and nail until the end.
Saracens' victory confirmed their place in the play-offs and inched Newcastle nearer to relegation.
Given what was at stake, it is no surprise that this one began as a tight and tense battle but it never really got going at all as both sides approached the match with caution and were reluctant to try things for fear of making a mistake.
Both were also guilty of some aimless kicking out of hand and it took until midway through the first half for Owen Farrell to give the visitors the lead from the tee.
There was no lack of endeavour from the hosts as the half wore on but they were unable to trouble the scoreboard at all as both teams were conservative in the extreme and the ball spent a huge proportion of the game high in the night sky.
Saracens doubled their lead with another Farrell penalty in the early stages of the second half after their advantage at the scrum resulted in a penalty in the opposition twenty-two.
Jimmy Gopperth did peg the Londoners back with three points of his own but Sarries' continued domination in the scrum provided another penalty opportunity for Farrell and he duly slotted it over to restore their six-point advantage with quarter of an hour remaining.
When replacement Justin Melck was sinbinned for a dubious late hit shortly afterwards though, the Falcons were presented with a superb opportunity to boost their survival hopes.
But despite playing some far more enterprising rugby against fourteen men and going for the converted try they needed for the win, they were unable to make the breakthrough and Saracens' defence held out to secure their playoff place.
The Falcons laid siege to the opposition try-line in the final minutes and although they were unable to win the game, they picked up a vital bonus point which increases their chances of survival because it means their fate will remain in their own hands as long as Wasps don't win against Bath on Saturday, even if they pick up a losing bonus point.
The scorers:
For Newcastle:
Pen: Gopperth
For Saracens:
Pens: Farrell 3
Newcastle: 15 Greg Goosen, 14 Corne Uys, 13 Jamie Helleur, 12 James Fitzpatrick, 11 Ryan Shortland, 10 Jimmy Gopperth, 9 Peter Stringer,8 Adam Balding, 7 Will Welch, 6 Ally Hogg, 5 Tim Swinson, 4 James Hudson, 3 Euan Murray, 2 Rob Vickers, 1 Jonny Golding.

Pros: Bass, Comfort, Sound
Cons: Hair Ripping, Short Cord
What can be said about these headphones that has not already been said in the 25+ years they have been in production?
Well, my girlfriend thinks they look silly... And that for some odd reason makes me love them more.
Out of few phones I currently own, I always find myself reaching for these.
With the wonderful bass and full bodied sound comes the whole "PortaPro Experience".
- First you try and squeeze them out of the tiny bag that Koss has provided.
- Then you unroll, unhook and unfold them.
- Next comes the pain of adjusting them on your head as they rip hairs out (surprisingly gratifying).
- The plug, that Tiny little plug now gets placed into whatever devise you have waiting for them.
- Finally, the sound, you forget just how wonderful it is almost every time as it hits your ears. Heaven
Thank you Koss for this gem.

Skip to comments.Police want pot crusader barred from stations
Posted on 08/12/2003 12:47:25 PM PDT by freepatriot32
EDMONTON - Wearing a conservative blue suit, B.C. marijuana activist Marc Emery lit up a water pipe in front of Edmonton police headquarters Sunday afternoon and was promptly arrested.
The leader of the B.C. Marijuana Party contends poss ession laws no longer exist because of recent Ontario court decisions.
Before lighting up, Emery said the fact that people can be political and take action makes Canada "the greatest place on Earth."
Two Edmonton police constables stepped into the crowd and led Emery inside, to a chorus
of boos and jeers from about three dozen supporters who decried the arrest as unconstitutional.
Federal Crown prosecutors have told Edmonton police that laws prohibiting marijuana possession are still in effect, said Insp. Dick Shantz. Officers charged Emery with a single count of pot possession.
Police also tried to stop Emery's campaign by asking that a Canadawide ban preventing him from going to police stations unless he has a legitimate complaint be made one condition of his release.
"We're getting tired of dealing with him," Shantz said. "He's tying up our manpower with his illegal crusade and we're not going to put up with it."
Others were also smoking marijuana but Shantz said no one else was arrested because police did not have the manpower.
Emery, publisher of the magazine Cannabis Culture, was arrested in Calgary on Saturday.
He was earlier arrested in Winnipeg, Regina, Moncton, N.B., and St. John's, Nfld. He was not arrested at stops this summer in Toronto and Charolettetown, P.E.I.
Higher penalties for repeat offenders? Leave him in jail longer to cool his heals.
So stop arresting him.
It's Howdy Doobie time?
I do, I know smoking a couple doobs is O.K., what Ozzie did is not O.K.!
True, although I think that as pot becomes more accepted, more research will be forthcoming and we're going to find that sucking hot gas derived from a burning weed (tobacco, marijuana, whatever) into your lungs is not healthful.
I voiced no opinion whatsoever about alcohol. The drugs have distorted your ability to seperate fantasy from reality.
So drugs are potentially bad for you then?
It's 4:20, silly!
Absolutely, so is an all ice cream diet.
Dunno, hence the need for more research. Let's hope, for your sake, that the "second-hand smoke" cabal doesn't get ahold of the research grant......;^)
For the purposes of this thread, I have no opinion on the legality of alcohol. I will, however, point out that alcohol use fell by 50% during Prohibition.
Only in some urban areas. Prohibition ended not due to outrage over organized crime, but because a majority of voters wanted to drink and were fed up with the law. This is not the case with marijuana.
Exceptions do not make the rule. Pot is not a good thing.
Well, if you take the number of people who do smoke and have smoked pot, and compare that number to the number of people who are addicted to hard drugs, it would seem that the pot-smokers who become hard-drug addicts are the exception, not the rule.
And there's the real reason the cops are ticked at Mr. Emery. The courts have ruled that the possession law is null and void, and he is publicizing that fact.
But mostly it's linked to stupidity.
Next he'll take up buggering his boyfriend on the sidewalk in front of police stations while he tokes a fat spliff.
Dopers have a lot of class. They just reek of it.
You are right. It is linked to a major stupidity called the "War on Drugs" or WOD for short. Far more innocent people have been hurt by WOD LEO funbles than have been hurt by Pot.
Hmmmmm....... No.
The shooting wars took place in urban areas, but the 'organized' part of the crime was extremely widespread. Bootleg booze was made in rural areas - many of them here in Iowa - and then shipped into Chicago for distribution.
Now think about this: Wintertime in Iowa. How hard is it to figure out which farms had heavy trucks come make pickups in the night with a few inches of fresh-fallen snow on the ground? Everyone knew who was involved, and from the sherrif down to the lowest peon in law enforcement everyone got their cut.
Yes I did hear that Ozzie Osborne says that pot smoking led his son Jack to try harder drugs.

Judicial Capacity and the Substance of Constitutional Law
Andrew Coan
University of Arizona, James E. Rogers College of Law
September 21, 2012
122 Yale Law Journal 422
Univ. of Wisconsin Legal Studies Research Paper No. 1190
Courts can decide only a small fraction of constitutional issues generated by the American government. This is widely acknowledged. But why do courts have such limited capacity? And how does this limitation affect the substance of constitutional law? This paper advances a twofold thesis. First, constraints on judicial capacity derive from a combination of the hierarchical structure of the judiciary and broadly held judicial norms. Second, in certain important constitutional domains, these constraints create strong pressure on courts to adopt hard-edged categorical rules, defer to the political process, or both. The argument is mostly positive but has significant normative implications. In particular, the constraints of judicial capacity suggest a new and previously unexplored justification for courts to defer many constitutional questions to the political process. Capacity constraints also help to explain the reluctance of courts to challenge political majorities, diminishing though not eliminating the countermajoritarian difficulty. For these reasons and others, judicial capacity deserves a central place on the agenda of constitutional theory.
