Bob Edwards Weekend Highlights, September 10-11, 2011
Doyle McManus, Washington columnist for the Los Angeles Times joins Bob to talk about 9/11, then and now.
Shortly after the terror attacks of September 11th, 2001 writer Joan Murray read her poem, "Survivors Found," on NPR's Morning Edition, the program Bob hosted at the time. Ten years later, she's back to reflect on that poem, and how it helped people heal from the tragedy.
After years of controversy and debate over how to commemorate the victims of 9/11, the National September 11 Memorial is opening at the site of the Twin Towers in New York on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. Over 5,000 proposals from 63 nations were considered for the memorial. The one finally accepted is titled "Reflecting Absence" by New York architect Michael Arad and Californian landscape architect Peter Walker. Arad joins Bob to discuss the memorial which covers eight acres and includes two pools with 30-foot waterfalls that flow into the footprints of the towers, surrounded by a plaza of almost 400 oak trees. The names of the 2,982 victims are also on display.
In this week's installment of our series This I Believe, we hear the essay of Helena Marie Carnes-Jeffries. A few days after the attacks, Carnes-Jeffries attended an interfaith prayer vigil in Chicago. And now, even after a decade of war and increasing religious tensions, her faith tells her that peace remains the ultimate goal.
During the Global War on Terror, former CIA agent Glenn Carle was assigned to interrogate a man the US believed to be a key member of Osama bin Laden's inner circle. But as their sessions progressed, Carle began to doubt if they had the right man. In his book The Interrogator, Carle tells his story as a covert operative in one of our country's darkest moments and why he refused to employ the "enhanced interrogation techniques" sanctioned by his government.
Matt Taibbi's writing makes the powerful squirm. In one of his Rolling Stone articles he compared Goldman Sachs to a "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity." In his book, Griftopia, Taibbi argues it's a new, powerful grifter class that is creating a redistribution of wealth in this country — taking it out of the hands of the working class and putting it into the coffers of the super rich. His book is now out in paperback.

It's slick and well acted (by Paul Giamatti, Zac Efron and Billy Bob Thornton, among others), but this attempt to make new sense of the death of JFK feels staggeringly pointless. The President and his killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, were treated at the same Dallas hospital (the titular Parkland). This is one of the few surprising facts that emerges from director/writer Peter Landesman's mediocre, maudlin script.
The film — which covers the day of the shooting and the four that followed — wants to turn the ordinary schmoes who were on the spot (hospital staff; JFK's security detail; amateur film-maker Abraham Zapruder; Oswald's brother, Robert) into quiet heroes. Yet the aforementioned do exactly what you'd expect in the circumstances. Meanwhile, the nutty villain of the piece, Oswald's mother, feels like she's been beamed in from another movie (a minor Hitchcock, perhaps).

Medium clipper
A Medium clipper is a type of clipper designed for both cargo carrying capacity and speed. An evolutionary adaptation of the extreme clipper, the medium clipper had been invented by 1851, when the hull type appeared in U.S. shipyards. Medium clippers continued to be built until 1869, when the Glory of the Seas, one of the last known medium clipper ships to be built, was launched by the firm of Donald McKay & Co.
The 1850s saw two major gold rushes in the English-speaking world - in Australia and Nevada - as well as continued development of placer gold mining in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
As these precious metal mining activities matured, the working populations of the affected gold and silver mining belts began to demand large quantities of manufactured goods. Shippers began to look for a ship design that would speed large quantities of boxed, barrelled, or crated cargo to Melbourne or San Francisco.
At the beginning of the 1850s, the dominant U.S. fast sailing ship design was the extreme clipper, properly defined as a cargo vessel with a 40-inch-or-more dead rise at half floor.[1] This refers to a sail-powered cargo hull with a relatively flat-floored rear half, tapering as one moves forward along the hull to a relatively sharp forward half.
Extreme clippers successfully served the 49ers who reached California placer fields during the opening years of the rush, but negative aspects of the design soon became apparent. The sharp-floored forward halves could not carry as much cargo as a full flat hull. In addition, the sharp-floored forward halves lacked the buoyancy of the rounded rear halves, and this asymmetrical buoyancy tended to strain and weaken the hull. The working lifespan of an extreme clipper ship tended to be short.[2]
By 1852 U.S. shipbuilders such as Donald McKay had begun to develop a new type of clipper ship hull, which combined a flat-floored hull for maximal cargo capacity with a clipper bow resembling that of the extreme clipper chip. The stern, masts, spars, and sail area also resembled the extreme clipper ship. The half floor dead rise of the true extreme clipper ship was, however, no longer to be seen.[3]
Period of design[edit]
In 1851, shipbuilders in Medford, Massachusetts built the Antelope. Often called the Antelope of Boston to distinguish it from other ships of the same name, this vessel is sometimes called one of the first medium clipper ships. A ship-design journalist noted that "the design of her model was to combine large stowage capacity with good sailing qualities."[4] The Antelope was relatively flat-floored and had only an 8-inch dead rise at half floor.
Shippers responded positively to the new hull design and instructed shipbuilders accordingly. By 1854, the numbers of medium clippers on the stocks were far outpacing the remaining extreme clippers. The last true extreme clipper was built in 1855.
By the 1860s, the time of the medium clipper was also coming to an end. Construction of a network of coaling stations around the world was making it possible for ocean-going steamships to cover global trade routes with a speed, frequency, and reliability of service that no medium clipper ship could match.
In the 1860s a final generation of clipper ships, the clipper-built composite ship, featured wooden planking over a wrought iron frame; the strength of the iron frame protected the composite clipper from the hogging and sagging that had bedevilled its predecessor, the extreme clipper. The surviving clipper ships of the world as of 2016, such as the Cutty Sark, are clipper-built composite ships; no true extreme clipper or medium clipper ships are known to survive.

It was a suitably dramatic ending to a match that distilled so much of what is thrilling in the Cup tradition.
The first round draw for the FA Cup is a sentimental affair, regularly throwing up reunions like the return of John Burridge to the club where he began his league career 26 years and almost as many clubs ago.
Apart from managing Blyth Spartans, proud processor one of the most evocative names in non-League football, Burridge still keeps goal at 45 and threatens to make Peter Shilton look like a promising youngster who called it quits prematurely.
Other notables in a side struggling in the Premier Division of the Unibond League included a couple with experience of the Football League in the former Sheffield United pair Mark Todd and Martin Pike, an Argentinian midfielder, and Shaka Hislop's brother, Kona. Plenty of material for a Match of the Day giant-killing feature there.
All Burridge's experience would have been no good to him, however, if Tony Butler had connected better with a clear header from five yards out in the second minute. Butler contrived to put his effort over the bar, but that escape was a sign of how rudimentary the marking was in front of the goalkeeper.
After only four minutes, Andy Preece got in front of Burridge at the near post to head in Mark Bonner's free-kick and the fairytale was fading. Five minutes later, it could have been obliterated altogether when Burridge fluffed his clearance straight to Preece, who chipped wide of the invitingly empty goal.
Blyth had looked out of their depth but suddenly produced an irresistible move, Todd releasing Gustavo Di Lella down the right and the Argentinian doing well to pull the ball back for Damian Henderson to equalise.
All the warning signals were still there whenever the ball went into the centre of the Blyth defence, Lee Philpott missing with another free header before Burridge produced a save from Butler that showed phenomenal agility from a man halfway through his fifth decade.
A minute before half-time Blyth capitalised on all their escapes, when Di Lella scored a magnificent goal to put them ahead against the run of play. The South American, who arrived recently via Darlington, ran the ball across the face of the penalty area before unleashing a screaming left-footed shot into the top corner.
The Blackpool barrage of Burridge continued in the second half with Mark Bonner putting a curling 25-yard free-kick just wide and Dave Linighan narrowly missing the target with a header. Burridge was booked for protesting that he had been pushed, then did remarkably well once more to get down to hold Tony Ellis's shot after the Blackpool man had raced clear of the defence.
Just before the hour, Blackpool got their lifeline, the latest in what seemed an endless series of corners being floated over by Philpott and met with a firm downward header by Linighan.Burridge this time was helpless.
That should have been the beginning of the end for Blyth's spirited Spartans. With 21 minutes to play, their weakness in the air caught them out again. Preece nodded down Junior Bent's cross and Clarkson volleyed left-footed with a tidy finality.
But in the 84th minute two Blyth substitutes combined to level the scores again, Willie Moat crossing for Jon Atkinson's diving header.
With 15 seconds left on the clock, Blyth were denied a second crack at Blackpool on their own ground when the ball ran loose from Bent's centre and Clarkson hammered in his second, and this time decisive, goal.

Ishtar and Gilgamesh Mesopotamian Mythology 1
Mesopotamian Societies Sumerians first major civilization (3000 BCE) non-Semitic people /language Uruk (and other cities) cuneiform writing elaborate mythology and cult- based mythic poems Babylonians / Akkadians later (c.1200-600 BCE) Semitic people, language myth based on Sumerian myth
Mesopotamian Societies Both societies share: social/political hierarchy with kings as head of state priestly class who also teach/write/preserve literature tradition of sacred writings associated with actual rituals high level of "civilization" (i.e. social structure & material wealth) irrigation-based agriculture, water resources organized by government cuneiform writing
Gods and Goddesses Sin (the moon), had a higher place in the pantheon than his children: Shamash (the sun), who becomes important as a deity of all-seeing justice, and Ishtar (Sumerian Inanna)(the morning star), whose multifaceted nature includes goddess of sexual love, of justice and warfare, of communal prosperity...
Gods and Goddesses Tammuz was Ishtar's husband – a god like Attis (with Cybele) who died and was reborn every year. Ereshkigal was the goddess of the Underworld (Kurnugi). Belili was Tammuz's sister, who took his place in the underworld Ea/Enki: god of freshwater and wisdom, often a helper to humans (as in the flood myth)
Ishtar Inanna was the city goddess of Uruk. In Sumerian tradition, she appeared in several important stories: Story of the me (decrees which represent the key elements of Sumerian civilization) Inanna visits Enki– here her father. He gets drunk, she steals the me, and thus confers power on Uruk.
Ishtar In another story, she got the hero Gilgamesh to chase a demon from her hulupu tree, and make her a throne – a story which shows a good relationship between the powerful king of Uruk and the city's patron goddess..
Ishtar She was worshipped in ornate temples... and played a key role in civic cult, in a sacred marriage.
Ishtar Here she takes a king by the hand and leads him, a sign of divine favor. Ishtar is goddess of prostitutes but the idea that there was "sacred prostitution" at her temples is a western misreading of the evidence – blame Herodotus. But it's possible that in a yearly sacred marriage, Ishtar's priestess had a ritual (real or symbolic?) sexual union with the city's king, to insure fertility for the coming year.
Ishtar's Descent Ishtar decides to visit the Underworld... Ishtar daughter of Sin was determined to go – to the dark house, to the house which those who enter cannot leave, where those who enter are deprived of light, where dust is their food, clay their bread... Ereshkigal is angry that Ishtar has come.
What brings her here? What has incited her against me? Surely not because I eat clay for bread, drink muddy water for beer? I have to weep for young men forced to abandon their sweethearts... Ishtar's Descent As Ishtar enters each of the underworld's seven gates, the gatekeeper takes away an item of her high-status adornment: crown, earrings, jewelry, and finally "the proud garment of her body." "Go in, my lady. Such are the rites of the Mistress of Earth."
Ishtar's Descent Ishtar hangs like a corpse on a stake for three days (the Sumerian version) During this time all fertility on the earth stops. Ea sends a "pleasure boy" to the underworld who apparently performs the right action to get Ishtar released. But a substitute must be found. In the longer more complete Sumerian version, it is Tammuz. He is taken down into the underworld to take Ishtar's place. But he too is a fertility god (young herd animals), and cannot remain under ground forever. Apparently his sister Belili (goddess of vines) takes his place, and trades off parts of the year with him.
Ishtar's Descent How is this story like the Greek underworld myths we have encountered (Demeter and Persephone, Orpheus, Heracles, etc.)? How is it different? How similar are the ideas of the underworld and its deities? What underlying meanings are there – are they similar to the ideas about human fate you see in the Mysteries at Eleusis?
Gilgamesh Gilgamesh is on the Sumerian king-list as one of Uruk's earliest kings – in the realm of myth. He features in several Sumerian myths (such as the one with Inanna's hulupu tree), and in one long poem, the "Epic" of Gilgamesh. This poem is the most popular piece of literature in Mesopotamia, found in many different languages and versions across 2500 years. We discovered it in about 1920. There are two major versions: we are reading the Nineveh version, compiled by a priest in about 800-700 BCE.
Gilgamesh I shall tell the land of the one who learned all things, of the one who experienced everything, I shall teach the whole. He searched lands everywhere. He found out what was secret and uncovered what was hidden, he brought back a tale of times before the flood. He had journeyed far and wide, weary and at last resigned. He built the wall of Uruk... One square mile is the city, one square mile is its orchards, one square mile is its claypits, as well as the open ground of Ishtar's temple.
Gilgamesh Gilgamesh is the son of Lugulbanda and the goddess Ninsun – and he is 2/3 god, 1/3 human. But like all humans he is destined to die. As the poem begins he is king of Uruk, busy building his city ever greater. When the epic opens, Gilgamesh, though "perfect in splendor, perfect in strength" is causing problems at home. His excess energy (in building, exploration, and sex – everything in fact) is causing tension among his people, who pray to the gods for relief.
Gilgamesh and Enkidu The gods create Enkidu, a hairy wild man, and place him in the forest near Uruk. He lives like an animal, startling the locals. They send to Gilgamesh, who suggests that they tame him by sending him a woman to sleep with. The woman (called Shamhat, a cult name of Ishtar) sleeps with him – converting him to humanity. Enkidu decides to go to Uruk. Gilgamesh dreams about him, and his mother Ninsun interprets the dreams. When the two men meet – at a celebration of Ishtar – they fight to a standstill, then become fast friends. They decide to go on a quest to free the Cedar Forest of Humbaba.
Gilgamesh and Enkidu Enlil destined Humbaba to keep the pine forest safe, to be the terror of people... So the heroes represent culture in this battle against nature... Everyone advises against it. Ninsun prays to Shamash: Why did you single out my son Gilgamesh and impose a restless spirit on him? He faces an unknown struggle, he will ride along an unknown road... She adopts Enkidu as her son, and entreats him to watch after Gilgamesh. The heroes depart...
Gilgamesh What does Gilgamesh have in common with such heroes as Odysseus, Achilles, Heracles, and others? Is his story (so far) essentially different from theirs in some ways? You're reading the poem in fragmentary form so this may be hard to tell but... are there essential differences in how this story is told, compared to, say, Homer?
The Cedar Forest When Enkidu touches the gates of the Cedar forest, he feels a supernatural cold and debility, and at first can barely continue. Then Gilgamesh has terrible dreams of destruction, which Enkidu interprets in a favorable light. The heroes battle Humbaba, who asks for mercy. But Enkidu urges Gilgamesh to kill the monster, despite the gods' possible displeasure. Humbaba cries out: The heroes defeat Humbaba, and return to Uruk in triumph. In Uruk, the goddess Ishtar approaches Gilgamesh to become her lover. Neither one of them shall outlive his friend! Gilgamesh and Enkidu shall never become old men!
Gilgamesh & Ishtar Come to me, Gilgamesh, and be my lover! Bestow on me the gift of your fruit! You can be my husband, I can be your wife. I shall have a chariot of lapis lazuli and gold harnessed for you... kings, nobles and princes shall bow down beneath you... But Gilgamesh scornfully rejects her: You are a door that can't keep out winds and gusts, a palace that rejects its own warriors, a waterskin which soaks its carrier... which of your lovers lasted forever? Which of your paramours went to heaven?
The Bull of Heaven Enraged, Ishtar sends the Bull of Heaven to ravage Uruk. Gilgamesh and Enkidu kill it, and when Ishtar reviles them, Enkidu also insults her, even throwing the "thigh" of the bull in her face. Inanna calls together the women to mourn the bull – a type scene related to fertility ritual. (The Bull of Heaven is the husband of Ereshkigal.)
Gilgamesh & Ishtar What reasons does Gilgamesh give for rejecting the love of Ishtar? Have we seen anything like this in Greek myth? Why is Gilgamesh so hostile to Ishtar, given that he does reject her? How is Ishtar characterized in this exchange – benevolent, cruel, as bad as Gilgamesh says, etc.... What do you expect at the conclusion of this episode, when Enkidu and Gilgamesh have both disrespected the goddess?
Enkidu's death Enkidu has a terrible nightmare: The gods were in council last night. And Anu said to Enlil, "As they have slain the Bull of Heaven, so too have they slain Humbaba: One of them must die." Enlil replied, "Let Enkidu die, but let Gilgamesh not die." Then heavenly Shamash said, "Was it not according to your plans?" But Enlil turned in anger to Shamash: "You accompanied them daily, like one of their comrades." Enkidu gets sick and over 12 days, he dies. He curses the hunter and the prostitute who found him and made him human, but Shamash persuades him not to curse the prostitute. Gilgamesh mourned bitterly for Enkidu his friend, and roved the open country. "Shall I die too? Am I not like Enkidu? Grief has entered my innermost being...
When he had gone one double-hour, thick is the darkness, there is no light; he can see neither behind him nor ahead of him… When he had gone seven double hours, thick is the darkness, there is no light… At the nearing of eleven double-hours, light breaks out. At the nearing of twelve double-hours, the light is steady. Gilgamesh travels to the ends of the earth, through the dark mountain, the pathways of Shamash: He meets Siduri, the (female) innkeeper (another cult name of Ishtar), to whom he pours out his troubles. She directs him to Utnapishtim, and adds: As for you, Gilgamesh, let your belly be full, Make merry day and night. Of each day make a feast of rejoicing. Day and night dance and play!
I crossed uncrossable mountains. I travelled all the seas. No real sleep has calmed my face. I have worn myself out in sleeplessness; my flesh is filled with grief. With the help of the boatman Urshanabi, Gilgamesh travels across the water to Dilmun, the land at the edge of time... He cuts 60 saplings for poles, and as each enters the waters, it is eaten away. He finally uses his tattered clothing for a sail and arrives exhausted to Utnapishtim: Utnapishtim Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh: how Ea told him to build a huge arc because a flood was coming; how built the amazing thing, how he and his family alone of all mortals were saved from the Flood, how Ishtar mourned the dead; and how he and his wife came to Dilmun, living as immortals.
Utnapishtim offers Gilgamesh a way to become immortal: Test yourself! Don't sleep for six days and seven nights." But as soon as Gilgamesh sits down, he falls asleep. He sleeps for seven days and nights, and each day, Utnapishtim's wife puts a loaf of bread beside him. The old loaf is rotting when the last one is fresh: a metaphor for the seven decades of human life. Gilgamesh says to him, to Utnapishtim the remote, "as soon as I was ready to fall asleep, right away you touched me and roused me." But Utnapishtim shows him the loaves, and Gilgamesh realizes that he has failed his quest. Utnapishtim gives Gilgamesh a "consolation prize": a rejuvenating plant. But on the way home, a snake takes it from him.
Urshanabi accompanies Gilgamesh home, and when they reach the city, Gilgamesh proudly points it out to him: The story's quiet close belies the significance of Gilgamesh's return. He is back where he started but a changed man, his description of Uruk here suggesting in the context a new acceptance of the meaning of the city in his life, an embracing rather than a defiance of the limits it represents… the king has evolved from a hubristic, dominating male into a wiser man, accepting the limitations that his mortal side imposes…[and] his essential kinship with all creatures who must die. Thomas van Nortwick Go up onto the wall of Uruk, and walk around! Inspect it... One square mile is the city, one square mile is its orchards, one square mile is its claypits, as well as the open ground of Ishtar's temple. Homecoming
How do Ishtar's descent and Gilgamesh's experiences on his way to Dilmun compare to one another? Is there a feel to the wisdom Gilgamesh returns with? In other words, what sort of wisdom does Gilgamesh gain?

"The Buddha was trained as a warrior, his early life was spent in the discipline and technique of early Indian martial arts. He then used the discipline of that training to fight the causes of suffering and confusion in his own mind. Jeff Eisenberg has followed a similar path and in this insightful book shares with us the path of liberation through the internal battle. Fight the power. Fight ignorance. Fight greed, hatred and delusion.
Fight on!"

Delhi's chill and fog has brought great cheer for the city's bird watchers as over 237 species were recorded in one day, which included three species seen for the first time in the Capital.
On February 13, the Big Bird Day, bird lovers from around the city gathered at the Yamuna and Aravalli Biodiversity Parks to spot the rare birds, most of who had gone missing from the city's concrete habitat.
"An unprecedented number of birds were recorded in a day," said Faiyaz A Khudsar, scientist in charge at the Yamuna Biodiversity park in north Delhi's Wazirabad.
As many as 85 birds species have been recorded at the park in just two years. The Red-crested Pochard returned to the Yamuna Biodiversity Park this year too. Since 2005, the park has become the only winter home for the bird in the city and this year their number has gone up to 150.
And in the Aravalli Biodiversity Park, 67 species of birds were seen within three hours. What surprised the bird watchers were the three new species seen in NCR for the first time—the Sirkeer Malkoha, Rufous-fronted Prinia and the Long-legged Buzzard.
"The unique biodiversity of the Aravalli Park is attracting birds from far-off places and has become their natural winter home," said Dr Shah Hussain, the scientist-in-charge of the park, which has so far recorded 182 bird species compared to just 48 species in its first year in 2005.
The Yamuna Biodiversity Park recorded a total of 190 bird species compared to just 27 in 2003.

|Last Hour:
|Last 24 Hours:
When the SHTF and a medical situation does occur simultaneously, things can go to absolute turmoil very quickly. Most medical situations that will arise during this time may not be considered life threatening, but can quickly become one if not appropriately treated. For instance, a simple cut that makes contact with tainted water (a very typical scenario following floods and hurricanes) can quickly become infected. That said, as preppers we need to prepare for medical emergencies and not only learn basic first aid, but also know how to use natural alternatives to care for the wounds themselves.
5 Items To Put In Your Emergency Medical Kit Today1. Books
One cannot become proficient at something without study and application. Going as far as to take medical courses in community colleges, local county extension offices, local fire departments, and with veterans groups, along with other civic clubs and organizations can give you a great edge on acquiring knowledge on medical emergencies and how to treat them. It should go without saying, but stock up on medical manuals like:
One cannot become proficient at something without study and application. Going as far as to take medical courses in community colleges, local county extension offices, local fire departments, and with veterans groups, along with other civic clubs and organizations can give you a great edge on acquiring knowledge on medical emergencies and how to treat them. It should go without saying, but stock up on medical manuals like:
2. Kitchen Staples
Since most of us have limited shelf space, it is only logical to find shelf stable foods and products that will perform multiple jobs for us. And some of your kitchen staples can do just that – including medical care. For instance, did you know you can make an antiseptic (first discovered during World War I) made of a diluted solution of baking soda and bleach? It's called Dakin's Solution and has been proven to kill most bacteria and viruses.
3. Honey
As well, honey has become a poster child for an alternative to antibiotics. In fact, numerous studies have shown that certain kinds of honey can fight multiple species of bacteria, fungi, and superbugs, making it a viable alternative to antibiotics.
As Ready Nutrition writer, Jeremiah Johnson recently wrote, "Honey is also good for wounds/abrasions/cuts of the mouth, as it is a demulcent that soothes abraded tissues, and it also is a medium that microbes do not live in. Who doesn't remember the time-honored honey and lemon mixture for a sore throat? The thing of it is: it works, and if it works it should be employed. Read more on how to use honey to treat wounds.
4. Medicinal Herbs
Having access to health-inducing herbs is another essential for wound care. Herbs such as oregano, garlic, lavender and thyme can help protect a wound from infection and promote healing. Along those lines, writer, Jeremiah Johnson recommends every prepper have the Three G's: Ginger, Garlic and Ginseng in their natural medicine cabinet. Further, knowing which herbs can be used for natural pain killers is also paramount in your medical preparedness knowledge. Some pain reducing herbs to add to your herbal first-aid kit are:
Common pantry items can also be used to help bleeding wounds clot. Many have found that cayenne pepper is an effective alternative and natural version of QuikClot. Cayenne pepper contains an active ingredient, called capsaicin, which has analgesic (pain relieving) properties and various other medicinal uses.
5. Essential Oils
In an extended disaster, bacterial infections and viruses are likely to be one of the reasons that people will die. Historically, essential oils have been used as a natural therapy to relieve symptoms when modern-day medicine was not available. The most amazing aspect of essential oils lies in their ability to effectively kill bad bacteria while leaving good bacteria alone! Rather than targeting one symptom, as Western medicine does, it targets multiple symptoms. There are two types of essential oils you should stock up on for SHTF planning:
Antibacterial – Due to the increase of antibacterial resistant illnesses, many are turning to essential oils such as basil, cassia, cinnamon, clove, cypress, eucalyptus, geranium, lavender, lemon, marjoram, melaleuca, myrrh, orange, oregano, peppermint, rosemary, tea tree and thyme.
Antiviral – Oils that have been studied to help control viral infections include: basil, cassia, cinnamon, eucalyptus, frankincense, lemon, lemongrass, marjoram, Melaleuca, myrrh, oregano, and thyme.
I started out with a simple beginner's essential oil kit and have found it of great use! Some more popular ways of using essential oils are aromatherapy, herbal soaks, compresses, tinctures and salves.
Things can go awry very quickly when a medical emergency occurs during a disaster. Having resources to turn to, skills to treat wounds, along with items you have around you can be lifesaving.
Tess Pennington is the author of The Prepper's Blueprint, a comprehensive guide that uses real-life scenarios to help you prepare for any disaster. Because a crisis rarely stops with a triggering event the aftermath can spiral, having the capacity to cripple our normal ways of life. The well-rounded, multi-layered approach outlined in the Blueprint helps you make sense of a wide array of preparedness concepts through easily digestible action items and supply lists.
Tess is also the author of the highly rated Prepper's Cookbook, which helps you to create a plan for stocking, organizing and maintaining a proper emergency food supply and includes over 300 recipes for nutritious, delicious, life-saving meals.

Created as a relaxed evening event, Melbourne's new Literary Salon is a friendly monthly gathering, a space for writers and storytellers to share ideas, meet those new in town and chat about current projects.
It happens on the last Tuesday of every month except December, at Beer Deluxe in Federation Square.
The Lit Salon is for all who work with books and stories: illustrators and animators, librarians and book artists, graphic novelists, journalists, producers and storytellers.
Let's all get together and have a drink, shall we?
So, what *is* the Literary Salon?
There's a lot going on in literary Melbourne, with fabulously funky sessions several days a week. The #LitSalon is a little different, designed as an informal meet up. There's a 60-second speech to round up the month's happenings, and then it's all about sharing news, ideas, projects.
Who's involved?
You'll be greeted at the door by a team of
booze hounds respectable wordy people, some known and new faces. We'll make sure you find a good conversation, and we promise not to bite.*
A bit of background
The Melbourne Literary Salon was created by Anna Burkey, founding host of the long-running Edinburgh Literary Salon, in a fellow UNESCO City of Literature. Now that she's moved to Australia, she's assembled a crack squad of fellow literary ninjas to help her bring together the literary community on a regular basis.
Anna also ran a pilot Salon when visiting Cape Town, through which she met many excellent South African writers.

Inside the Liberal Conspiracy to Save the Republic
Posted on Jan 9, 2013
Mother Jones profiles a growing coalition of environmental, labor and civil rights groups, including Greenpeace and the NAACP, that began meeting off the record in December to try to figure out "what to do to beat back the deep-pocketed conservative movement."
These organizations didn't get together to celebrate President Obama's hard-won victory. On the contrary, they reportedly committed themselves to fight the ever growing influence of wealthy individuals and corporations on politics:
As Andy Kroll writes for Mother Jones, progressive groups have joined forces before, but in this case there is no deadline for action (an election) and the so-called Democracy Initiative's ranks continue to swell.

Vigils are being held across the country tomorrow for the children of a Comox woman, alleged to have been kidnapped by their father and taken to the Middle East.
Alison Azer hasn't seen her four kids since August, when they left on what was meant to be a short trip to Europe with their father.
She believes instead that her ex-husband Saren Azer, a well known Vancouver Island doctor, abducted them and fled to the Kurdish region of Iraq.
READ MORE: Mother of allegedly abducted kids returns empty handed from Iraq
Saren is now wanted on a Canada wide warrant, and he is also wanted by Interpol.

Ms. Azer went to Kurdistan in January in a bid to track the children down.
While she located the kids, she says her ex-unwillingness to comply with international law and resistance from local leaders meant she returned empty handed.
She now believes the children are in a rebel held war zone.
"Bombs are falling," she writes on a fundraising campaign to cover the mounting expenses of tracking the children. "I need to get my children home."
Vigils are now set for Ottawa, Calgary, Victoria and Comox, in a bid to up the pressure to return the children to Canada.

16 FREE Star Wars Embroidery Patterns!
The world absolutely needs more Star Wars embroidery patterns! I have created 16 FREE Star Wars embroidery patterns and today, I am putting them in one easy location. Now all you have to do is decide which FREE Star Wars embroidery patterns you want to start with!
I have been creating these with my six year old in mind, so the patterns of the people can seem a little kid like. BUT, don't let that stop you from looking below, because there are plenty that would be cool no matter what your age. Lets start with…
The Dark Side
1: Darth Vader
The Original Trilogy
5: Yoda
Star Wars Spaceships
9: X-Wing
10: Millenium Falcon
11: Tie Fighter
The Force Awakens
13: AT-AT Walker
14: Rey and Finn
15: Poe and BB8
16: Kylo Ren
Which pattern is your favorite?
Harry Potter Inspired Halloween Embroidery
This post contains affiliate links.
Do you want to know what inspired my latest Halloween embroidery pattern? I will tell you, the scariest Harry Potter book to me…The Chamber Of Secrets. You might be surprised, but turns out, my body gets the heebee geebez when I imagine being surrounded by GIANT HARRY SPIDERS that want to KILL YOU! UGH…easily my worst nightmare!
Right before Ron and Harry venture into the creepiest scene I can imagine, they are under Harry's invisibility cloak when Hagrid gets taken away. His last careful words to them are "if anyone wanted ter find out some stuff, all they'd have ter do would be ter follow the spiders." Ron and Harry are totally brave and go in, even though I know Ron wishes he hadn't. I couldn't have done it…that is probably why I am a Hufflepuff…
Well, today's free Harry Potter inspired embroidery pattern is simply three words. Three words I hope I never have to listen to in real life…"follow the spiders."
Let's get stitching!
Earlier this week, I posted the best backstitching tutorials. I intentionally made this pattern so that the backstitch was the only stitch you needed to know how to do. (And maybe a tiny bit of running stitch…I couldn't help it! I seriously don't think a pattern is complete with out a little running stitch.) You could also choose to do just one color, black (310) if you really wanted it to be simple. I chose to add some metallic embroidery floss to the word "spiders". In my imagination, the extra sparkle reminded me of the forbidden forest spiders of Aragog.
I also took a little extra time to tea-stain my pattern. Since Harry Potter books are filled with people writing on parchment, it seemed appropriate to me.
Tea staining is super easy. If you have never done it, give it a try. Most of the time, people tea stain before they start stitching, but I saw Bev from flamingotoes.com paint the stain on later in one of her pieces. I LOVED the idea and tried it myself!
All I did was boil some water.
Place 2 tea bags in it and let it steep (I don't drink tea…but I assume that is a fancy word for sit…) for 15 minutes. Then I stirred up the tea and began painting the liquid wherever I wanted.
I did follow Bev's example and blow-dried it after each coat. That left those dark lines and gave the fabric more depth, color and interest. I think it turned out great.
If you are not a fan of the old, dirty look feel free to skip it. I won't tell.

Stitch of the Week: The Best Backstitch Tutorials!
The backstitch should probably have been my first Stitch of the Week tutorial, because it is my go-to stitch. I never embroider anything with out it! My mom taught me how to do this stitch, but not everyone has my mom to teach them. So, instead I looked around the internet to find the BEST backstitch tutorials.
I started doing these round-ups because I found out not all tutorials are created equal. Some are unclear, some are hard to follow, and some are hard to watch because of length or boring content. However, you won't find that in the following tutorials…
Video tutorial
In my opinion, this is the only tutorial you will need! I think Mary explains it so clearly. She shows two methods: the stab, and the sewing. (Confession, I am a total stabber…Mary is right, the stab method makes a smoother, neater line. I also feel more in control using the stab method.) Find her video tutorial here at needlesnthread.com
Word and Picture tutorials
Sometimes, videos are over too quickly and you don't want to be playing it over and over again. That is when it is nice to have these word and picture tutorials.
This one from Kari at crafts.tutsplus.com is very detailed and clear. If you are a true beginner, this is the tutorial for you. She explains everything from how to thread the needle, to different ways to knot or not knot the floss. It is all presented in an easy to understand fun way with bright pictures.
If you have embroidered before and just need a refresher, this is the tutorial I would recommend. It comes from LiliPopo...I just had to throw it in because her site is SOOOO darling! I just discovered it today and I am crazy about it! Her backstitch tutorial is not as detailed as the other two, but it is shown on the sweetest pattern! She does a fantastic job of showing the back of her work as well. Very helpful!
So, there you have it, the BEST backstitch tutorials. Thanks again to all the wonderful ladies who put them together for us to enjoy! I am sure you will find them as helpful as I did. How do you learn new embroidery stitches?

In a recent webisode of "fishbat Splash," COO Scott Darrohn of social media agency fishbat Inc. responds to recent government actions moderating Internet content for minors.
October 20, 2012
Bohemia NY– On October 20, 2012, fishbat Splash host, COO Scott Darrohn, responded to a recent article Beta Beat detailing federal regulations on Internet content for minors. The issue was rekindled after photos of children were uploaded online and made publicly available on the McDonald's webpage as part of the fast food restaurant chain's advertising strategy, the article reports.
During a recent webisode of fishbat Splash, Darrohn stated that the federal government was "poised to become more involved with children's websites." Darrohn openly admits that fishbat does not condone government regulation on the Internet but heavily encourages keeping children safe while utilizing the Internet. "This is a great step in the right direction. [Though] we do not approve of government control of information, we would like to see minors protected a little more diligently than they currently are."
Federal regulations indicate a more proactive approach from parental supervision according to Darrohn. Darrohn stated that "[fishbat] would like the parents to get more involved" with any and all content regulation on the Internet. Darrohn concludes fishbat Splash with a reminder to parents that they should be aware of what their children are doing online in order to keep them safe.

My late flight out of LGA was cancelled. Since everyone else's flights were cancelled too, the dependable chain hotels were all booked. I chose The Parc Hotel based on Tripadvisor reviews. I was very pleased with the property. I was given a complimentary upgrade to a corner room on a high floor when I arrived. Loved the Bigelow toiletries. The fitness center was small but adequate. I'm not a breakfast person so I didn't have a problem with the selection. I also loved the contemporary decor and didn't expect a stovetop, which would make the room convenient for longer stays. The room was clean; however, management should add cleaning the baseboards to the housekeeping checklist. The baseboards in my room and the hallways were laden with dust which marred an otherwise pristine appearance. Guests should note that the cab from/to the airport costs between $16 and $20 which, when added to the hotel charge, increases the room cost considerably. Also, it's pretty hard to hail a cab in front of the hotel so I ended up walking a few blocks to a busier street. The clerk was very friendly. I'd stay there again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Parc Hotel is the one and only boutique, luxury hotel in Flushing, NY. The ultra-modern design and striking features throughout combined with the strong attention to detail and customer service brings a level of affluence to the downtown Flushing area. ... more less
