"Natasha threw off the shawl from her shoulders"
by JohannaTrew
The following passage inspired the title of the British historian Orlando Figes' book Natasha's Dance. Tolstoy questions how the sheltered, Westernised Natasha could have instinctively picked up the ability to dance the traditional folk dances of Russia, and Figes draws on this to examine the way Russia was torn between celebrating innate Russian culture and the temptations of imitating Western Europe. Despite the recent controversy surrounding Orlando Figes, his book provides an good introduction to the history of Russian culture.

Thousands of Iraqis protest agreement for indefinite US occupation
Friday, May 30, 2008 :Tens of thousands of Iraqis protested in a number of cities Friday against the proposed agreement between the puppet regime of Nouri al-Maliki and the Bush administration that would codify a long-term US military occupation.
In a secret videoconference last November, Maliki and Bush signed an agreement, a cynically titled Declaration of Principles for a Long-Term Relationship of Cooperation and Friendship, which outlined plans for the establishment of permanent American military bases and preferential treatment for US energy conglomerates and investors to exploit Iraqi oil reserves. The full details of the pact, including the general dimensions of the American occupation force, were to be worked out by July 31, 2008.
Negotiations on the deal began in March and US officials have told the media that the two governments are close to an agreement. The White House and the Pentagon claim that the deal is merely intended to replace the United Nations mandate that expires December 31.
Last month, US ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker claimed during a US Senate hearing that the agreement would cover the basic authorizations and protections to allow American troops to continue their operations but would not specify troop levels or establish permanent bases.
Crocker asserted, We anticipate that it will expressly forswear them [permanent bases] ... and it will not tie the hands of the next administration. These are simply new lies from the Bush administration. Whether the agreement calls the US facilities permanent bases or not, or sidesteps the issue altogether, such a deal has no other purpose apart from ensuring that the US military will remain indefinitely to suppress internal opposition and protect American geopolitical interests, above all, its designs on Iraqi oil supplies.Read More

Friday, May 30, 2008 : Demonstrations expected against a long-term US military presence in the country.
Muqtada al-Sadr, the Shia leader of the Mahdi Army, has called for the demonstrations after Friday prayers to pressure the Iraqi government into abandoning the proposed agreement.
Washington wants the Iraqi government to provide a legal framework for US troops to remain in Iraq beyond the expiration of a UN mandate in December. Officials from the administration of George Bush, the US president, told Al Jazeera they expect to finalise the deal by the end of July.
Sheikh Salah Obaidi, spokesman for al-Sadr's bloc in parliament, said the call for protests is not a "threat" to the Iraqi government, but a "warning".

Parking fee system obsolete and outmoded
It looks like the year 2000 will bring us hapless denizens of Hong Kong more taxes and higher fees, to judge by the loud whispers from our financial viziers.
Obviously, the Financial Secretary will be casting his net over wider circles in order to ensnare more taxpayers.
We can expect vehicle owners to be hard hit, since they are guilty of all sorts of crimes, including polluting, causing traffic jams, buying illegal fuel and drinking before driving.
These vices must be paid for, so hit them where it hurts - in the wallet. Motorists will be the new herd of golden geese to lay golden eggs for the SAR.
We are already hearing hints of higher charges for parking, including abolishing free parking on Sundays and holidays.
Every day will yield a bonanza for the Treasury - a 24- hour cascade of wealth, 365 days a year.
Our expensive electronic parking metres will be programmed to extract the maximum return from users and traffic wardens will patrol with even greater vigilance to pounce on unwary overstayers.
But wait! Why limit a parking stay to two hours? Why cannot the electronic wizards devise a parking scheme that allows for longer parking at a higher rate? If the administration needs more money, why not give motorists what they want and charge them for it? The Transport Department maintains that street parking is limited to two hours to encourage more turnaround and to discourage long-term parking. But this is just a sterile formula.
Anyone can park all day and all night just by coming back every 120 minutes.
Wouldn't it be better to ease their burden and collect more revenue? Just increase the fee for longer terms.
Must we be locked into an obsolete and outmoded system just because it was imported from England? Street parking space is very valuable.
Right now it is being squandered on hundreds of stalls and storage sheds, with little return to government.
There are miles of roads with low usage that could yield a large income, just for the expense of marking spaces and installing versatile card machines.
Let us hope that the Transport Department opts for creative and lucrative innovations that benefit motorists with more convenient parking and bring more money into the Treasury's coffers.

text: Hello all, I am new to this board. I read over the agreement and rules of the board etc, and while I did not see it listed, I hope I am not violating any rule, because I must say right away I am not a parent (but someday will be, am married (not expecting as of now), and have nephews and nieces on both sides). I skimmed over some of the categories and may respond to some within the next few weeks. I am interested in learning as many things as possible to prepare me for fatherhood (i realize you are not ready until it actually comes, you can read all about it). I realize some who post here have challenging difficulties with kids who have depression, and serious challenges compared to some who have more minor issues, but the way I see it, we all have some sort of issue, we are all human, all make mistakes, but can all learn about it. Anyways in not wanting to share too many personal things, all the rest I shall say for now is I live in the continental US, Midwest, so that is my quick background. My one quick question for now is regarding children's technology now adays, such as cell phones, but in how cell phones are so much more now. I am in my late 20s, but recently I got into a disagreement with someone over if kids should be allowed to have Cphones, and that is what made me want to find a place to ask about this kind of thing. I simply said that someday my kids could have a cell phone limited when they learn to drive, and only for calling, no texting, no internet, no nothing else. Am I crazy?

It seems like over half of what I read these days would qualify for this challenge, so now that I find myself in the airport with a delayed flight and a Bloody Mary in front of me, I'm not sure which book to write about. Included in the books I could have written about that I read from my TBR pile include Fearless Fourteen by Janet Evanovich (which I followed with Plum Spooky) and Blood Brothers by Nora Roberts. I'm a fan of both Janet Evanovich and Nora Roberts, so these are pretty easy recommends for me. Even though I constantly tell myself I'm going to quit Evanovich because her books never seem to move forward with anything, I still find myself going back to them because they're light and fluffy and never fail to make me giggle. And let's face it, Ranger and Joe are hot.
But I think my favorite TBR book this month was Flat-Out Sexy by Erin McCarthy. This is one I picked up on the recommendation of Jane from Dear Author. I've been trying to branch out my reading to more genres other than just fantasy and paranormal, and contemporary is one I don't read as much of. Plus, this book seems right up my alley because, hello! Nascar!
So the blurb:
"One of the romance writing industry's brightest stars"(Romance Reviews Today) returns with a flat-out delightful, new, and sexy contemporary romance about a woman who's happy being single—and the man determined to change her mind.
Independent single mother Tamara Briggs wanted to find a new, sexy, no-strings-attached man—just not one as young as NASCAR driver Elec Monroe. But he sure does get her heart racing. And after she's tricked into a blind date with him, Tamara gives in to her passion. Things screech to a halt, though, when he asks to meet her children. Whatever happened to wham-bam-thank-youma'am? Suddenly Tamara has to decide how much risk she's willing to take to experience the power of true love.
I'll be honest, for whatever reason I didn't expect to like this book, I think partly because of the widowed mom aspect of the heroine and the younger hero. Also, I have liked but not loved some of Erin's previous books. But to my surprise, I liked both the hero and the heroine quite a bit. I enjoyed the relationship between them and found the conflict, while not overly complicated, to be both believable and relevant. I'm not an overly huge fan of children in romance but I didn't find them to be either intrusive or just wallpaper either. I think that with this contemporary series, the author has found both her niche and a powerful storytelling voice.
To make this brief (because my battery is dying), the characters have wonderful chemistry, but also a really believable growth in both their relationships and their own personal demons. The secondary characters add a depth to both the characters' relationship and the book itself. There wasn't anything concrete I would point to and say that I overly disliked about the book and I'm very much looking forward to the next release, Hard and Fast, which releases in May.

Australian Matt Parish, who was in charge of Salford for a six-match spell in 2011, has been appointed as head coach of Samoa for the World Cup.
Parish, who is assistant to Ricky Stuart at Parramatta, takes over from St George Illawarra coach Steve Price following his departure by mutual consent.
"I feel both honoured and privileged to have been appointed as the head coach of Toa Samoa," Parish said.
"I hope that through my experience working in the NRL, State of Origin and with the Indigenous All Stars, I can help convert that unquestionable talent into results at the World Cup."
Samoa, who beat the United States in a friendly in Hawaii at the weekend, are in the same group as New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and France.
Samoan RL president Tagaloa Faafouina said: "We don't expect Mattie to do miracles but we believe he will be a great asset to bring benefits to our team as we are on the look out for accomplishments."

I bought the nail kit that included this hand cream, cuticle oil, nail buffer, and nail filer. The store looked very professional so I thought the quality would be great. It was expensive imo but I thought I'll splurge on myself and purchased this after the sales girl rambled on and on about how great their products are. My hands are not in the best condition so if the products work, I'm willing to pay the extra bucks. Anyways, I went home with the kit that contained the Passion Fruit scented hand cream. The Passion Fruit scent turned out to be too strong for my liking (though at the store, I really liked it).
Now on to the cream itself (besides the smell)... the cream is very runny, signalling that I basically paid for the ingredient "water". It absorbed very quickly (probably because it's mostly water) but my hands did not feel moisturized at all. Instead, I feel like there was a film of "sandy" residue on my skin. It was very uncomfortable that I had to wash it off. This was a purchase that I regretted right away.

Try A Simple 'Dragon's Tongue' Bouquet:
Disclaimer: For the record, I do not consider myself any sort of authority on floral design. (I love to cook, too, but that clearly does not make me a chef.) There are enough days when even my limited abilities as a gardener and plantsman could be called into question, so it would be a mistake to think that I consider myself qualified to address anything on this topic, really, beyond playful experimentation and what pleases my personal eye. But oh, do I love being able to head out into the garden to cut whatever is growing and then put it into a jar or vase and bring it into the house. For many gardeners, I suspect, that is one of the most satisfying reasons of all to garden . . . so they can cut what's in season for their own kitchen tables. And so they can share their abundance with people they love.
Despite those aforementioned personal limitations, though, I do still generously give myself permission to cut and play in the garden. And I hope you do too, or that you will begin to. If you need encouragement on that front, you have come to the right place. A Fresh Bouquet will be emphatically 'pro' permission and play, and 'pro', granting yourself more of each. Which means that from time to time, you will be subjected to this, and other home-gardeners' playful experimentations. Meaning they won't all be masterpieces. Mine certainly won't be. For that, you see, is an essential part of the delicious, 'permission' element we hope to encourage here. Whether as gardeners or as mere lovers of flowers, we must have permission to not be perfect. (Insert deep sigh, as needed.)
It had never occurred to me to use Photinia fraseri as an element in any of my homemade garden bouquets before, but after yesterday's play session, I'm pretty sure I will be using it again and again in the future. Call me crazy, but I love the look of those tender new red leaves in this arrangement, and I'm wondering why I've never thought of using them before. They look like dragon's tongues, licking the air. And with the sun behind them they almost look as if they are on fire. Look closer at the topmost photo and you'll see that I am purposely holding my playful, 'what's-in-season' bouquet up in front of the very Photinia hedge from which I cut those 'dragon's tongues'. See how the light behind them makes them literally glow? The floral possibilities in my little garden are still a bit limited this time of year, but emergent foliage, well, that I've got in profusion. So why not use it, I ask? Why not play with it?
Now, if you'll wander on over to this latest post at A Photographer's Garden Blog, you'll see that I've kinda had dragons on the brain lately.
So, what unusual things have you cut for the vase, recently? Anything you'd be willing to share with the rest of us? Have you ever used these tender, red Photinia shoots in a bouquet?
And finally, a favorite 'dragon' quote:
Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." G. K. Chesterton
Namasté, friends.

My roommate Jeff and I woke up at 6:30 this morning to climb a big mountain. The plan was to climb up a snow-filled gully (which itself is about 2,500' feet long) that goes to the top of a particular 11,000-foot mountain that isn't too far from our house. This climb would require crampons (spikes that you attach to your boots so you can walk/climb on the snow) and ice axes. I've done this type of climbing many times over the last few years, but this would be Jeff's first.
And along those lines, I've been getting outside a lot recently; I'm in pretty good mountaineering shape. Jeff has been working and been busy getting engaged. Jeff is in pretty good marriage shape, I guess.
About a thousand feet into the climb, Jeff looked over at me and said, "Tristan, thanks for being so patient. Not just now but every time we go climbing."
This struck me because I am actually an incredibly impatient person. Everyone who knows me knows this. But it's true; I'm extremely patient when it comes to climbing. I've been climbing for 15 years, and I'm patient even when I take a complete beginner climbing at an area that I've been to dozens of times.
Why am I so patient when it comes to climbing yet so impatient when it comes to, well, everything else? Here are some reasons that can be applied to anything you want to be patient with (not just climbing).
1. I enjoy the journey – When I'm out climbing, I'm not in a rush to get anywhere. I enjoy it for what it is. I don't care if we make it to the top of the cliff or the mountain. Just being outside is what I enjoy.
2. I want to share – Climbing is an extremely important part of my life. I've been doing it longer than pretty much anything else besides walking, breathing, eating, sleeping, and pooping. It's something that has taken me to incredible places and given me some of my greatest memories. It's soothing, it's relaxing, and it's what I do to get away; it's my yoga and my beer.
I want other people to experience that, too. It's too good of a thing to keep to myself!
3. I think of others' well-being – I know that climbing can scare people. It's not in everyone's comfort zone to cling to giant rocks with your fingers and toes. I want people to enjoy the experience, and I know that if I rush them or freak out on them, they'll probably freak out themselves. I try to minimize the scariness.
4. I understand the big picture – Sometimes when I take new climbers out climbing, I don't get to climb as much as I normally would or as fast or hard as I normally would. But I'm OK with that because I understand that there's more to my climbing career than just that one day out. I can always go back and spend more time there or climb harder and faster. There's no rush.
5. I know that impatience is dangerous – If I make someone feel like they need to hurry up while climbing, they're more likely to make a mistake. And making a mistake while climbing can be life-ending for everyone involved. Not good.
Jeff and I didn't end up making it to the top of the mountain. He had new boots on and was getting wicked blisters on his heels, so we turned back. And you know what? I wasn't disappointed or frustrated at all. The mountain will be around for a while and if everything goes according to plan, so will I.

Slope County 4H senior member Mitch Stuber recently represented the county it the state shooting competition, finishing essentially in the middle of the competitors.
By COLE BENZ | Herald Editor
Slope County 4H senior member Mitch Stuber recently represented the county it the state shooting competition, finishing essentially in the middle of the competitors.
"He shot fifty-some clays, which is about 50 percent," Slope County Extension Agent Shelby Hewson said. "He was pretty much average, which is good."
The competition was held at the Capitol City Gun Club in Bismarck on Saturday, Aug. 13, and kids from around the state gathered at the state capitol to compete in different categories of shooting disciplines. Seventy competitors in total attended the competition.
Stuber competed in the shotgun portion and utilized the standard 12 gauge firearm. He was in the Senior Age Division.
Hewson previously told The Herald that the club in Slope County is slowing gaining momentum, and that they have had as many as 20 kids at a given practice.
The program got a boost a few weeks ago when the club was awarded $7,500 by The More For Everyone program, which is sponsored by InVigor canola hybrids from Bayer.
Local producers Janelle and Doug Fitterer simply applied for the funds and the group was selected. The program offers $50,000 to local, non-profit organizations that operate in regions that produces canola.
With the donation the group reached their fundraising goal of $10,000 that will go towards purchasing more equipment to develop the shooting club. Instructors for the group include Kyle Frank, Doug Fitterer, Kent Maershbecker, Dixie Schulz, and Dana Stuber.
Though Mitch Stuber was the lone participant in the state competition for Slope County, Hewson said they hope to send more shooters to next year's event.
Hewson also said that they will be starting the archery discipline in Slope County this fall.

Victoria Beckham proved it's possible to pull off the layered look in warmer weather.
In a pinstriped suit, topped with a bright yellow duster, she stepped out onto the streets of NYC this past Sunday. Could the style icon's look be any more posh? We don't think so.
Regardless of your style, a sleeveless jacket pulls together an outfit and polishes off your look. In the case of Victoria's sleeveless duster, it creates the perfect contrast against the fashion-forward foundation, while also staying practical in the summer heat.
Since this vest is such a versatile piece, you can wear it with virtually anything. If you're going for something a little more glam, pair it with minimalist heels like Mrs. Beckham. Or, if you're feeling a little more casual, you can't go wrong with your favorite white sneakers.
Treat yourself to a bomb new duster—your summer wardrobe can thank us later.

At Issue
(Society and Self, Critical Representations in Literature)
Because literature has been a male-dominated field, many male writers have written about maleness. Such role development is apparent in American authors from the early nineteenth century onward. Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Fenimore Cooper, and their contemporaries created a male role model who was intended to be contrasted to European models. A key facet of the American ideal of masculinity is self-reliance. The lone frontiersman, woodsman, cowboy, successful businessman, detective, or seaman populates American fiction.

How To Protect Your Marriage
Protecting your marriage is like guarding it with your life. The relationship you have with your spouse should be your priority.
1. Work on making things work.
For those who think that feeling butterflies in the stomach for a person is already love, well, think again. This isn't necessarily love. When two people marry each other, we immediately think they're perfect for each other, which is not necessarily right.
Studies show that the main component of a successful marriage is people who stay in love. Married people tend to be healthier in both physical and emotional aspects. They earn more compared to single persons or divorcees. They also tend to live longer. Marriage can make a person happier. The risk for depression and diseases is lower.
Despite the benefits of staying married, many couples still end up getting divorced. Marriages go wrong if issues are not addressed early on. Take care of little glitches before they become big problems. Take for example, if you have a cut in your hand, clean and treat it at once before the wound gets infected. It's the same with marital discord. If you wait longer to fix things with your spouse, the more difficult it becomes to solve the issue. At some point, one or both of you may just give up on your marriage.
Married couples shouldn't quickly give up on their troubled marriages. Even for dating couples as well, having problems in a relationship is not reason enough to quit. Why not try to make things work? Ending your marriage doesn't necessarily guarantee that your next relationship will be better. Try to put more effort in making things work. Divorce shouldn't be an easy option.
As there are two individuals in a relationship, the responsibility to make things work doesn't fall on only one person. Don't be blaming your partner for everything. Assess yourself. Think about what you could have contributed to your marital problems.
Simply walking away isn't a solution. Leaving your spouse won't resolve your issues or set you free from your responsibilities. The problem doesn't end with a walkout. Couples are called partners because they are there to help each other. Protecting your marriage entails an open communication. Expressing your thoughts, concerns, plans, or desires may help better the relationship. A lot of break-ups happen because couples don't know how to deal with each other's differences. The real issue: They don't know how to talk to each other.
No two individuals have exactly the same experiences. Men and women have a lot of differences. However, both have the same needs basically. Both need to be loved. Both need company. Both need to belong. So, whatever it is that you want from your marriage, expect your spouse to have the same.
2. Take things one day at a time.
Both spouses should constantly try to work on things, even if they're not having any serious problems. A successful marriage doesn't just happen. Taking one day at a time makes the challenges less overwhelming. In a marriage, things don't always remain as they are. The smiles may turn to tears, the laughter to sorrow. The following are thoughts to keep things going:
• Falling in love is not enough; staying in love is all that matters. Nurture your relationship. Always find quality time for your spouse. Don't take anything for granted with regards to your relationship.
• Make decisions together. Every decision should be discussed first by the couple before it can be turned into action. It should benefit both and the marriage.
• Sacrifices are part of married life. There are some wants that need to be put aside so that you can do what is best for the two of you or the family. Once you're married, you need to accept the fact that not everything is about you.
• Your family should always be your first priority. Your plans and ambitions should be shaped by them.
• Displaying negative emotions brings stress. Don't be the cause of stress to your partner. Don't whine or nag. Instead, work on staying interesting. Be a reason for your spouse's happiness.
• Constantly tell your partner you love him or her. Don't say it with words alone, but also with actions. Do some things that will surprise your spouse once in a while like helping with the household chores or buying simple things for him or her.
• Encourage each other to try new things. In the long run, couples tend to get bored with each other. The excitement of the getting-to-know stage will eventually die down. So both of you need to try out new things to make your marriage more interesting.
• Be each other's best friend. Be the person your spouse can trust and depend on all the time. However, give him or her some space. Even if you're married, he or she still has his or her life to live.
• Compliment each other every chance you get. There's no better way to show your spouse your appreciation. This will boost his or her self-esteem and encourage him or her to be the best that he or she can be. Show admiration for each other. If there's admiration in a marriage, there's understanding.
3. Understand what true love is.
Love is not envious. Be proud of your spouse's achievements instead of feeling challenged. If he or she is smarter or earns more, be happy. Marriage is not about competing against but supporting each other.
When you marry a person, it's like a package deal. You're marrying the person and everything that comes with him or her, the good side and the bad side. Don't be asking for a fairy tale. The key is to have true love and realistic expectations.
Couples who are bound by true love trust and respect each other. Together, they hope for and protect their marriage. They grow old together. Sometimes, you will have to go through fire to test your marriage. But if your love is true, you will be able to endure it all.
4. Have good communication.
Keep the communication lines open. Have regular talks with your spouse. Conversations are your windows to each other's feelings and thoughts. Even though you're busy, always find time to talk to your spouse. You can talk on the phone during coffee break at work or over breakfast and dinner. Before going to sleep at night, share stories about your day. Through simple conversations, you get "updated" of what's going on in your spouse's life outside your home. He or she is also "updated" about your activities.
• Be honest. If there's something bothering you, tell your spouse. If there are some decisions that you aren't comfortable with, express your concern. But remember to express yourself in a calm, composed manner. Don't raise your voice. Don't be an argument magnet. If there has been a misunderstanding, wait until your anger subsides before attempting to talk. Or never both be angry at the same time. Don't force what you want on your spouse. Respect his or her decision as long as it doesn't pose any harm.
5. Learn acceptance and forgiveness.
• Marrying a person means accepting everything there is in him or her. Don't try to make him or her the person you want him or her to be. Celebrate your differences. Use them to make your relationship more exciting.
• Don't be too stingy about forgiveness. People make mistakes. Marriages that last have couples who are forgiving and tolerant for the right reasons.
Being in a satisfied and happy marriage is one of the best successes in life. There are various reasons why people marry. They marry for intimacy, for companionship, or for security or convenience. But the greatest reason for marriage has to be true love.
Marriage is a process. It needs to be worked on to make it last. Everyday isn't as beautiful as your wedding day, but with the right attitude and reasons, your version of "happy ever after" shouldn't be too impossible.

Heartaches of the Big Party
I think about her pretty much every day. I vividly remember her in my mind's eye—a precious girl from a neighboring camp—seeing her every so often, staggering down the dusty street, scantily clad or wrapped in a thick nasty blanket, with playa hair designed by nature's sweaty days, dust storms, wild nights, and no showers for 9 days. She had come to us when a camp mate of hers raved about us and told her whole camp to come encounter the Light and get a Mother Blessing.
It was fairly early on during the week. We poured into her and she was deeply touched as we spoke to her heart and her spirit about her beauty and significance, her value, her unique gifts and special qualities that needed to be guarded and protected.
I always hope to shore up as many girls as I can while out in the desert of Burning Man each year. Many people go out there hoping to experience a week of partying and 'freedom' of expression or free love or lots of sex or a week-long high. When we meet, I always ask them how many years they have come to Burning Man. Most say, "This is my first time…and I am so excited to be here."
We pour into them and try to create a safe place for them to return to if need be. Because many of them do not realize what they are getting themselves into.
Late one evening last year, mid-week, I was winding down after a long heavy day, and I heard her voice screeching behind me. She stumbled into our camp, giving us an update on her week, vomiting a string of shrill giggles, and I could tell without looking that she was strung out. This is what I heard:
"Hee hee haw haw so funny! I've been high for FIVE days straight! Haw haw haw! I remember ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I haven't eaten. I don't think. I've been with so many guys and to so many parties! I have no idea where I've been or who I have been with. HAHAHAHA! My friends found me passed out naked in the street one night! Haw haw haw! No kidding! Can you believe it? I don't F*cking remember anything! Burning Man is a blast!"
The Mama Bear in me rose up and I turned to look at her to do something, I don't know, maybe shake some sense into her. Hug her. Feed her and help her sober up. But she was already off to go party some more.
Our last morning at Burning Man, I was on my way back from the portapotty and saw her huddled in a makeshift pallet by the side of the road, so dirty you could hardly recognize her—she had beer and drugs lined up in front of her and she was bent over, talking to them, hissing and stammering. She looked possessed and absolutely hellish. The stench around her was overpowering.
My heart broke. I wondered what kind of pain she was running away from that necessitated nine days of such abuse and oblivion? And what kind of repercussions was she bracing to face as Burning Man ended and she had to go back to the real world? How many times had she been raped—and what kinds of consequences might she be facing from countless sexual partners and living on a sustained, binged high for that long? What kind of withdrawal was she facing and what kind of deep trauma might her body and spirit be carrying? Would she ever really recover? Would she ever be able to realize how valuable and priceless she truly is as a person?
I can't get her out of my mind or my heart.
I may be very naive…I never lived a party lifestyle. I have lived through a lot of pain, though, and I do understand the pull sometimes to want to escape the anguish and responsibilities of life. But I can't imagine the aftermath of such a thing. I think it rather compounds. Fun times aren't always real sunshiny when you get down to the nitty gritty reality. What is her life like now?
This gal is only one of many thousands that we see…doing the same thing, year after year. Too many heartaches of the Big Party at Burning Man.
I wished I could have made a difference for her. I wished I could have shored her up and healed her pain so all of that excessive self-destruction wasn't necessary.
But we can only do so much. I pray for her and I hope the very best for her and the others like her.
There are so many that we positively impact and it breaks my heart that we can't do more. That is why I find myself always talking about going to Burning Man, and bringing people along with me. The need is great! I know a lot of mothers and fathers are praying for someone like us to cross paths with their kiddos that are bent on slow, self-kill mode. We've helped turned quite a few around. It's an honor to pour out in such a way.
It is like triage on a battlefield. I love using the tools I have to quickly bind up wounds and stand between the wounded and the active battlefield. I'm a warrior and our troop is gifted, strong, and growing.

Ah, February is here and you can almost feel the love in the air. Oh wait, maybe it's not love. Maybe it's just another blizzard for us cold states. This past weekend while Chicago was coated in a very thick blanket of snow it was my daughter's birthday. Poor kid has had blizzards or mass snow fall on half of her birthdays. Since we were housebound and I hadn't done any Valentine's Day recipes yet I decided to make her a cake perfect for February. I also decided after shoveling that I wanted it to be easy to make so I used a box mix to make a Sprinkled With Love Valentine's Day cake. My daughter loved her cake and it came out perfect for a Valentine's cake to make for or with your little loveys this Valentine's Day.
This cake comes together easily with the help of a box white cake mix. I did a three layer cake and one layer was white, one pink and the last one was red. The colors for the cake came out really bright and vibrant and to help make the white really pop I used some white food coloring (Americolor makes a great bright white gel color). For the frosting I used my marshmallow buttercream (which I love!!!) but you can use any frosting even canned. I finished off the cake with some Wilton heart sprinkles that I found that came in the white, red and pink colors to perfectly compliment the inside of the cake. You could even do these as cupcakes and just layer the batter into the cupcake liner and then cover the frosted tops with loads of sprinkles.
- 1 15.25 oz. box of white cake mix
- 3 egg whites
- 1/3 c. melted butter, cooled
- 1 1/4 c. water
- pink, red & white food coloring
- 3-4 c. buttercream frosting or canned frosting
- Wilton micro heart sprinkles
- Preheat oven to 350° and spray three 9" round cake pans with baking spray. Then line each pan with a circle of parchment paper and spray that as well.
- In a bowl combine the cake mix, egg whites, melted butter & water. Mix according to package instructions, usually 2-2.5 minutes with a hand mixer. Divide the batter evenly into three bowls. Use red food coloring to color one bowl of batter, pink food coloring to color the second bowl and you can optionally add white food color to the final bowl. Pour one of the colors into one of the prepared pans and then add the other two colors to the other two pans. Bake the cakes for 20-25 minutes. Let the cakes cool and then invert them onto a cake circle, plate or wire rack.
- While the cakes are cooling make your frosting or get the canned opened and stirred. When the cakes are cool make sure to level the cakes using a cake leveler or a serrated knife. Place the red layer of cake onto a cake circle or a cake plate and frost the top. Next, ad the pink cake and frost the top of that one. Finally, add the white cake layer on top of that one. Apply a crumb coat (a thin layer of frosting to the top and sides to seal in crumbs) and then refrigerate at least 15 minutes to firm up the frosting. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the final frosting layer. Carefully press handfuls of sprinkles into the sides and top of the cake until it is completely covered.
How do you spend your Valentine's Day? Is it a family affair, a romantic dinner, a couple's getaway or a girl's night out?

The public sector pensions battle
Who would be a public sector union leader? The pay might be decent, but the axe-wielding this week and Lord Hutton's report on public service pensions means it's going to be a tough two years. Job losses that could top 750,000. The closure and outsourcing of whole local authority departments, entire universities shut down, pay freezes across the board.
If George Osborne marries his spending cuts with Hutton's message of higher pension contributions, lower benefits and longer working, Unison's Dave Prentis and his fellow union leaders will be forced to square up. On the face of it the unions have a strong hand. Militancy should be guaranteed.
If we only look at the retirement issue, a decade of private sector pension cuts have brought an obscure and little-understood subject to the fore. Workers know the value of retirement guarantees. They can grasp the loss of income when they retire when ministers talk about "reforms". With pay freezes, job losses and further privatisation already a reality, cuts to pensions will, as Prentis said, "be the straw that breaks the camel's back".
At Westminster they are emboldened. As many officials point out, the child benefit fiasco showed the government is proving inept at planning for conflict and is already displaying a weak core. The comprehensive spending review, clearly shown to be regressive, is another spur for industrial action.
Yet two barriers stand in the way. Job cuts, which are already underway, will be piecemeal, without any obvious flashpoint for industrial action. Then there is the pensions debate, where unions have found themselves preparing for battle after their leaders have fallen over themselves to vacate the high ground. The high ground, in this case, relates to the case for a sustainable retirement system.
If Prentis et al defend final salary pensions they lay themselves open to Hutton's charge that unions seek to defend the generous salary linked benefit rewards management above those of shopfloor workers. Arguably, it is the overly generous promises to the higher paid in the public system that is helping send costs through the roof.
The main beneficiaries are those in the higher echelons of the NHS, the teaching professions and the police. If a worker's entire retirement income is calculated on their last pay cheque and their length of service, a long unbroken record of service and escalating pay rises in the last 10 are crucial to a lucrative retirement income. Step forward the male middle manager. And there are plenty of them. If they retire on £50,000, which is not uncommon, they could receive a pension of £30,000 a year. Compared to a banker's bonus it sounds modest, but to provide a pension at that level costs at least £1m.
When Hutton says we need to think about moving all public sector workers to a career average scheme or its equivalent, he is explicitly attacking the huge sums paid to these managers. A clerical worker, by contrast, could spend most of their working life on £16,000 a year and retire on the same amount plus the occasional inflation-linked pay rise. A career average pension would pay them roughly the same as a final salary scheme.
So why are the unions prepared to man the barricades for the public sector's fat cats? A cynic might say leaders such as Prentis are conscious of their own super-sized pensions. Public sector senior directors sitting on the other side of the negotiating table also want to keep the final salary link for their own benefit.
A more generous interpretation puts the union leaders at the top of a pyramid of members who fear changes to their pension as simply a way to replenish the exchequer without attacking the banks. That may be so. However, the contradiction in the union's stance will undermine public support and play into the coalition's hands.
There is another opportunity with the Hutton report to secure public sector pensions on a realistic footing and avoid the terrible fate of most private sector workers. Mark Serwotka, head of the Whitehall union PCS, agreed to a career average scheme for 450,000 civil servants. Can unions, most of whom privately agree final salary is dead, avoid fighting for the better off in the name of ordinary workers?

The Crisis of the Eurozone
An important tension had been underlying the first decade of the European Monetary Union. On the one hand, governments had embraced a revolutionary prospect when designing its institutions. They called on market forces and supranational institutions to limit popular democracy and scale back the interventionist state. On the other hand, they were unprepared to live up to this prospect. Hence the accumulation of large economic imbalances and their culmination in the Greek crisis and the instability of the Union's periphery. These developments have given governments pause. With breathtaking speed, elites have agreed on the need for austerity. But it is difficult to see how the current attempt to return to the spirit of Maastricht would fare any better than before. Permanent austerity is fraught with economic irresponsibility and political risks. Europe therefore needs a new political debate about how much it wants to allow markets to determine the fate of its citizens and countries.

Editorial Comment—Organized Stroke Care
The Core of Effective Stroke Care Provision
The past decade has witnessed a dramatic change in treatment of acute stroke, leaving the era of an indifferent approach firmly behind. However, equally important to the development of particular emergency treatments is the recognition that the organization of stroke services per se plays a key role in the provision of effective therapies and in improving the overall outcome after stroke.
In this issue of the journal, the consensus statement from the Brain Attack Coalition (BAC), a group with representatives from major professional and advocacy organizations involved in stroke care, with extensive recommendations for comprehensive stroke centers is published.1 The report is a companion to the recommendations for the establishment of primary stroke centers published by the same group in 2000.2
Basic Stroke Care: Still Not Fully Established
The previous report of the BAC2 detailed 11 key elements of a primary stroke center to improve patient care and outcomes. Recommendations included acute stroke teams, stroke units, written care protocols, and an integrated emergency response system. A major impetus for the recommendation was clearly to establish the infrastructure and logistics to permit broad implementation of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator therapy within the 3-hour window according to the criteria of the NINDS trial. A survey showed that in 2001, emergency services for acute stroke therapy were in place at the majority of hospitals,3 and the situation has further improved later on.
However, and somewhat surprisingly from a non-US perspective, establishment of stroke units was given less emphasis in the BAC recommendations. Stroke units were not considered to be required for primary stroke centers that did not intend to provide care beyond the hyperacute period (ie, longer than the emergency department evaluation and emergency therapy), and stroke units did not need to be distinct hospital wards or units. In contrast, acute stroke teams, which lack scientific support for efficacy, were included among the key elements. The hospital survey3 showed that stroke units (and continuing staff education—an integral component of a stroke unit) were established at only 38% of the hospitals. A recent report provided a much more positive result (stroke units at 85% of hospitals), but only data from 34 academic centers participating in a quality improvement project were included in this study.4
Similar problems in translating knowledge into practice are presents in almost all other regions and countries worldwide. In the registry of the Canadian Stroke Network 31% received care on a stroke unit.5 The proportion was also low (23%) in an Australian stroke audit.6 In Europe, the 1995 Helsingborg declaration, prepared by World Health Organization Europe and the European Stroke Council in collaboration with 4 other professional societies, strongly emphasized the need to establish stroke units with acute admissions and set the target that organized stroke care should be available for all patients in the year 2005.7 However, this development is still in progress and the target has not been met. In most European countries, stroke unit care is available for half of all patients or less and is unevenly distributed.8 Only in Scandinavia has the proportion gradually increased to ≈75%. In most European countries, the elements of comprehensive stroke unit care outlined by the Stroke Unit Trialists' collaboration9,10⇓ have been adopted and include assessment and monitoring, physiological management, early mobilization, skilled nursing care, and short-term multidisciplinary team rehabilitation services. At most centers, intravenous tissue plasminogen activator is given in such a unit. Thus, acute thrombolytic therapy is an integral part of the activities of a stroke unit, closely linked to prehospital and emergency services.
Clearly, the emphasis on various aspects of organized stroke care differs between regions, countries, and continents, which may reflect traditions as well as variations in health care systems. Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator therapy and stroke unit care are both top priorities in modern stroke management. However, we should not forget that because stroke unit care is applicable to all patients with stroke, the overall impact of this therapy is several-fold larger than that of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator therapy, for which patient selection criteria apply.11
Comprehensive Stroke Care
A proportion of stroke patients need more specialized therapy than what could be provided by a primary stroke center or nonintensive care stroke unit. The BAC defines a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) as a facility for stroke patients who require high-intensity medical and surgical care, specialized tests, and interventional therapies. The report reviews the scientific background and delineates the personnel expertise, advanced neuroimaging capabilities, surgical and endovascular techniques, and infrastructure at a CSC.1
There is clear consensus that intensive care facilities are needed for a proportion of patients with stroke, eg, those patients who require intubation, ventilatory support, and intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring. There is also strong scientific support (level 1 evidence) for surgical and endovascular therapy of intracranial aneurysms. However, the precise application of several other advanced therapies reviewed still remains to be established because of paucity of data from randomized controlled trials. Endovascular interventions for acute arterial occlusions intracranially (intra-arterial thrombolysis, clot removal, angioplasty), decompressive craniectomy for malignant middle cerebral artery infarction, extracranial carotid angioplasty and stenting, and microsurgical procedures for large-vessel occlusive disease belong to this group of treatments for which level I evidence permitting a grade A recommendation are still not available. Such procedures are today performed at many centers on an individual patient basis, but further studies are needed before their widespread use can be endorsed. The BAC recommendations adequately emphasize that, if performed, they should be performed by physicians who have the necessary skill and expertise. CSC also have an important role in contributing to systematic collection of data on such procedures and to provide the framework for performing randomized controlled trials and contribute to high-quality research. Quality control and stroke registers are also rightly emphasized as important elements at a CSC.
Comprehensive stroke centers also have an important role to act as an expertise resource and to provide education for other stroke facilities in the region. Establishment of partnerships between medical centers is necessary to provide best possible care and may include, eg, telemedicine service. Public education is another important activity. Even very recently published data show that more than two-thirds or more of all patients with stroke cannot even be considered for intravenous thrombolytic therapy within a 3-hour window because of patient delays in seeking emergency care.12 Changing the patients' behavior in the event of acute suspected stroke remains a major challenge.
Most Patients Are Not Cured by Acute Stroke Therapies
For almost all patients with stroke, even those with a mild one,13 the event represents a major change in life. Although much attention has been given to management issues in the acute phase, the initial hospital period is extremely short viewed in a lifetime perspective. Even with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and more advanced therapies, the proportion of all patients who are actually cured is very small. The majority will need further rehabilitation for long periods. Rehabilitation should start already in the acute phase, and even at an intensive care unit, as the patient's condition permit. Appropriately, rehabilitation has been given a separate section in the BAC recommendations, although this part is less detailed than the other sections.
Comprehensive Stroke Centers: Part of the Broad Package of Stroke Services Needed
Despite scientific proof for more than a decade on the effectiveness of organized stroke care, stroke systems are not fully implemented in practice. Opportunities for treatment are missed with serious consequences. All efforts to improve organization of stroke care should therefore be welcomed. Whereas activities at a CSC will certainly be modified as advanced diagnostic and therapeutic options are redefined or new therapies will emerge, it is an advantage that the infrastructure is in place so that organization of care is not lagging behind scientific advances.
The present recommendations should be viewed as an important part of the broad range of facilities that needs be implemented for stroke management in different stages.14 Establishing well-organized systems for stroke care is a major challenge for all regions and continents, and it deserves the full cooperation of professionals and health care providers

Blackjack is a great game because it provides a fast pace, fun, excitement, and the opportunity to win money when you get lucky. It is a game of chance so you never know when lady luck is going to be on your side. Advanced blackjack tips will help you bring your game to the next level when you have mastered the basics. If you are new to the game you should start with more simple tips and work your way up to these options.
An advanced blackjack strategy is knowing when to stand on 16. This can be very difficult for beginners because they know that the dealer has to have at least 16 before they stand. When you have been playing for awhile you should implement a new strategy when you have a value at 16. You should not take a card when you are showing a 16 against a 10 up card if the count is +1 or greater. This may take some practice but will be second nature over time.
Don't be afraid of busting with a hand valued at 15. This is an uncomfortable situation to be in, but the advanced blackjack strategy will tell you that you should stand on 15 against the dealers 10 when the count is higher than or equal to +4. Of course, this assumes that you are good at card counting or have a general idea of what is left in the deck, but this advanced blackjack strategy will help you navigate those uncomfortable situations where you aren't quite sure what to do with that hand of 15.
Stop assuming that you should never split tens. Even though basic strategy tells you not to do it, there is a time and place. There is actually a time when you may want to split tens, believe it for not. You should always choose to split tens when a dealer has a six as their up card and you know that there are at least five or more 10 cards in the deck. With so many 10's left in the deck and when the dealer has a six they are more than likely to bust.
Another advanced blackjack tip is to split 10's when the dealer has a five up card. Of course, this can only be done when the deck is positive. In fact, you want the deck to have six or more 10's remaining. The reason for this is that with so many 10's left in the deck the dealer is more than likely to bust, and with all of the 10's left you are likely to continue to make two valuable hands that are better than that of the dealer, earning you more in the way of winnings. This technique should only be attempted by those who are very adept at card counting and are sure of what remains in the deck.

Trend Alert! Pointy-toe Pump
If you watched last night's People's Choice Awards, you probably noticed the killer – pointy-toe – heels. Squeal!!! This trend is really happening for 2013 and I can't tell you how much it excites me. I've long been a fan of the ol' pointy toe, and happen to notice they always get the most "I like your shoes" compliments. Why? Because they're way flattering. Much more so than a rounded toe, which can just make your legs appear slightly thicker and shorter (although I don't shun the rounded toe, by any means).
When I saw these pointy ankle strap d'Orsay versions from Monika Chiang, I cried tears of joy. These may not be life-changing (um, or yes?), but they're closet-changing, for sure. I already have a spot waiting for them. They're $395 and every freaking celeb owns a pair, duh. Think Mena Suvari, Karolina Kurkova, Ashley Benson, Selita Ebanks and Kourtney Kardashian, to name a few.
Pair these beauties with skinny jeans if you must, but to reallllly show off that ankle strap, I highly rec a skirt or dress. Black, blue (my fav), silver or gold, these are the hottest heels around. Girls, rejoice. This shoe trend is gonna transform every plain Jane outfit you own. Trust. Me.
P.S. A couple of years ago, I had the amazing opp to meet Monika at Lincoln Center while I was in New York. The designer gave me a personal tour of her current collection at the time, including shoes (!), and I've been obsessed ever since (she's sweet as pie, too).

#FreshBlooms | Lark & Lace
Guest Blogger
I love everything about this dress, especially how it lays on the body. The skirt is very free-spirited while the top has a little more structure. It's the best of both worlds. I played up on both of those worlds by wearing it with a denim jacket, structured hat, bandana, and my favorite little lace up booties. I think I got the "cool country girl goes to the big city to buy some flowers" vibes I was going for. But why would a country girl go to the city for flowers, you may ask? I know. It doesn't make sense. Just let it happen.

C.S. Lewis and the Liturgy
"The advantage of a fixed form of service is that we know what is coming. Ex tempore public prayer has this difficulty; we don't know whether we can mentally join in it until we've heard it – it might be phony or heretical. We are therefore called upon to carry critical and devotional activity at the same moment: two things hardly compatible. In a fixed form we ought to have 'gone through the motions' before in our private prayers; the rigid forms really set our devotions free. I also find the more rigid it is, the easier it is to keep one's thoughts from straying. Also, it prevents getting too completely eaten up by whatever happens to be the preoccupation of the moment (i.e., war, an election, or what not). The permanent shape of Christianity shows through. I don't see how the ex tempore method can help becoming provincial, and I think it has a great tendency to direct attention to the minister rather that to God." (Source: C.S. Lewis, Letters, 1 April 1952)

My kids want another bird that is angry...but wants them to fight each other too. That sounds like disrespect for one of my favorite games actually. And they did mention that they want to visit the 'snow city' to throw snow balls at each other. So I guess it naturally converged into this snowball hurling game!
Lots of fun for 2 players shooting snowballs and other weapons at each other.

Nerves are frayed, pupils receded into the desert of the iris, temples pulsing with medicated urgency… The antidote to this compromised biology? Football for a fiver! Sun is bright…colours are loud…noise is…loud.
At least the sky is airbrushed in a perfect Aviation blue.
You've got to feel that Jackson would have been happiest eating an Almondy Daim Cake and picking out flatpack furniture this weekend.
Bauer tries to execute a suplex on their #19 then breaks kayfabe to cut a heartfelt apology promo to the crowd. He'll always be cast as a 'face.
Every game is a gunpowder cylinder of different emotional flavours! It's likely the only reason we're all still able to watch what is ostensibly the same film over and over again.
Shoelace break.
Rudd is stalking about psychotically like a contemporary Travis Bickle. If I were Rochdale I would have steered well clear. Oh, they got the ball in, by the way. He stamps the ground of his favourite goal spot as a bull returning to the paradoxical querencia, sipping at his isotonic drink with a ferocious intensity.
Loathsome Rochdale celebrate their netted acorn in front of what is reportedly soon to be named the 'Funeral Services Stand'.
And now the crowd is ruffled. Rudd summons a sky demon and the heavens open just as a phantom shopping list of items purchasable for £5 drifts unspoken past the pyre.
Rudd keeps dowsing new ley lines and sending his underlings out to hunt for the grail, but these adepts just want to drink mead. Actually, the majority of the crowd has already left for the pub.
Fox makes a duelling partner and right at the end of the first bit I volunteer a wave to Rudd to let him know there's a friendly face out there if he needs to air any anxieties or just sit quietly.
The middle interval update! God's blog is 18 today. Shout out to Judge Dredd and 'the Baron' – Mr.Darcy has bought you some new breeches.
I've spotted a new row of shops above the Funeral Services Stand – art supplies and prom clothes! What's Holmes going to wear? I drift into a costume fantasy about Charlton as the 'club kids' of League One and awake just in time to learn that a man masquerading as one Steve Smith has hijacked the crossbar challenge. He dies shortly afterwards from magic spray poisoning.
Charlton will be returning to the Valley on Tuesday to try and claim the Czech Republic trophy by any means other than football.
It starts snowing so I can't write for a while, during which Johnnie opts out of a penalty. It's around this time that everyone imagines retiring to duvet forts and binge-watching Gilmore Girls.
Rochdale goalkeep Lilith looks every bit the Luciferian curse.
We roll out chants comprised of rejected late Beatles lyrics:
"Put Xerox up!
It's such a bore
It's so unfair!
It hurts my brain
It's no one's game
It's such a shame"
We've taken to singing out instructions too, which is actually among the more inventive of our invectives.
Little Ricky Holmes is trying his best, but if you'll notice, almost everyone else has been invisible the entire time. It's just Ricky out there in the elements!
A little boy is sporting a pair of Nike Air Max trainers that I'd like to pinch. When's the prom starting?
Sullen Crofts fades into view and out of the game as we swop him for Nicky.
Suddenly, out of an alternate dimension concerned only with annihilation, the ball is gliding straight for me like some malfunctioning IMAX shark. Meeting this crisis of the Real as only the existentially-afflicted would, I throw my face down, shrieking, as the ball misses me 1/20th of a millimetre to the left. But I'm paranoid. I've broken the rules of the 'we' – the sanctity of unanimous participation… What if the CAFC fan group extradites me?
We're missing the Ryder Cup.
Slade has a bit of a laugh by pulling a classic Lacan and presenting something totally unexpected (removing sole upfront gamespiece MacGuffin) in an attempt to shock a therapeutic revelation out of the team.
"FRENCH CARPARK!" Finally, the Dadaists have arrived!
Members of the crowd have begun eliciting certain torture methods involving locking the team up with floor to ceiling television sets screening a recursive loop of their biggest failures in life until everything breaks.
JJ is badly deteriorating towards the end of the match, often forgetting which 'keep is which and padding softly between the two like a ghost who doesn't realise he is dead yet.
The Lacan trick isn't really working, so Slade tries his luck again and takes Holmes off.
Lookman decides to have a crack at goaling. Botaka has the same idea, but executes it less well. No one minds that much because he has chosen a lovely hairstyle.
Lilith is sliming around and I get a quick flash of Escher's 'Eye'.
Everyone takes a moment to covet a delicious compass that adorns the screen briefly, but cries of 'How much?' see it taken hurriedly down. Turns out they didn't want to sell it after all.
In extra time, some of the Rochdale staff perform a rendition of the musical Cats, before we all run home to our screens, only to find they've been blown up by Katrien Meire™.
Climbing out of Charlton's basement we are treated to this powerful symbol – or is it an omen? You decide.
