Q & A with U.S. U-20 MNT Head Coach Tab Ramos
Ahead of the Northern Ireland Milk Cup, U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team head coach Tab Ramos checked in with ussoccer.com to discuss the tournament, roster selection process and what the team hopes to accomplish before the next World Cup qualifying cycle begins in February of 2013.
ussoccer.com: Heading into the Northern Ireland Milk Cup, what are your thoughts on the challenges presented by your first two opponents, Denmark and Turkey?
Ramos: "I think they're going to be very difficult opponents. Turkey is a very skillful team and that will have its challenges because of the individuality going forward. Denmark, on the other hand, is a very dynamic, two-way team and it will be a completely different type of rival."
ussoccer.com: The U.S. won the Milk Cup in 2005 and 2010. How much emphasis is put on getting positive results at this tournament, while also evaluating players ahead of the next World Cup qualifying cycle in 2013?
Ramos: "First of all, I don't think as a coaching staff we ever coach games that we don't want to win. We're certainly going to Milk Cup hoping to win every game. At the same time, we're in the middle of our evaluation process and we do believe we have a competitive group. We have a few players who have not been with us before, but I think they're very good players and that they'll contribute. I'm looking forward to the team being very competitive and doing the best we can. The goal is always to win every game we play."
ussoccer.com: What was your thought process when putting together the roster for this tournament?
Ramos: "My thought process going into this tournament was to try to select the best players that I have available and I think that we've done that."
ussoccer.com: You've had several training camps since taking over as head coach of the U.S. U-20s last October and the team recently played three games against South American opposition in June. Just how important are these opportunities to play against international opponents?
Ramos: "I think the opportunity to compete against some of the top teams in the world is something that we can't replace with domestic camps. Certainly, for us as a coaching staff and what we mention to our players, one of the things that is very important about these international games is how they perform under pressure. There are little moments in these games that I think become very important for the group because they are moments that we'll remember as players performing at certain times under pressure. So, when we go into qualifiers we can remember certain players doing well at those difficult times."
ussoccer.com: As a team, what do you hope to accomplish between now and the start of the CONCACAF Qualifying tournament in February?
Ramos: "As a team we want to be able to develop that team chemistry which I think began in the last camp. I felt that by the end of the last camp, certainly the Chile game, I felt for the first time we looked like a team. Up until that point because of so many camps and so many players coming in and out, it was a bunch of guys just getting together and obviously they're all good players, but there was no team chemistry at all. I felt by the third game of our South American tour we looked like a team. I think we made mistakes as a team and we went forward and did good things as a team. I think that was the beginning, I thought that was the first step for us and hopefully we can continue that going through the Milk Cup."
ussoccer.com: Nearly a month after the Milk Cup concludes, several of the players from the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team pool will kick off their collegiate seasons. How do you balance training camps around the fall college season while also keeping an eye on the players' progress when they're spread out across the country?
Ramos: "I have very good contacts around the country so I can have people watch our players play and, at the same time, some games are on TV and I will go to some of the games myself to watch some of the players. We'll keep an eye on all the players we can whether it's in Europe or college, we're doing the best we can to keep track of everyone on our list."

To drop or be dropped: The MTB epics have begun
It's safe to say that the epics are on like Donkey Kong to quote my main man Dave Towle. 4.5 hours yesterday with some of the other fellas on the ride we linked up with out for 6. We're getting snow out here in Boulder which is great, but it's amazing how quickly it melts and gives us perfectly tacky and miraculously dry conditions. The best of all worlds.
The crew hooked up at Heil, some riding there, Matty an I driving due to time constraints (even though Bobby thinks we're getting soft). We had, Rob Batey, Matt Opperman, Bobby Noyes, The Longest Man, Jason Vogel and last but certainly not least, the wonder twin powers of the Torrance brothers.
The ride we did is basically a truncated version of the "Boulder Epic"...which would start typically in Boulder and traverse Eagle Trail etc to get you to Heil Ranch, then on the way into the woods. Today, for Matty and I anyways, would be a section Heil Ranch which included the full length of the Wild Turkey Trail, we intersect with the new Picture Rock Connector trail dump out into Lyons CO and then meander over to the Antelope climb of the Hall Ranch trail system where we'd do a loop of the Nelson Loop at the top and descend Hall's notorious rock garden descent. From there it's back up the Picture Rock connector, into Heil and home.
The conditions of the trails were insane. Nice and tacky. The reality is (and anyone who rides the Heil/Picture network frequently will say the same), it's unbelievable rocky. Glacial till and exposed rock make the ride less 'flowy' but more a sustained series of shocks to the body. You actually do have to flow as best as possible to be smooth and keep momentum over the trail system as its entire length is like a technical challenge. I do this ride often but the pace we were going yesterday and the frequency of hauling the bike up and over the rocks challenges by yanking on the bars to table up and over these things and I feel like Mike Tyson beat the snot out of me.
The beginning half of the day I felt no chain. Rolling nicely....and it's no wonder as my ride lengths up to yesterday have been like in the 1.5-2 hour range. Yesterday truly broke the cherry! Matty Opp and I railed on our 29'ers through all of the stuff at break neck pace with the Torrance bros and Batey railing in tow. By the time we got to Hall, my bike literally started to come undone, XTR brakes (pieces of shit...and I need to upgrade to Avid soon!) effectively clamping down on my rotors. Oh, and the body felt it was doing the same! I had all the food in the world and felt no bonk, but the legs were so loaded it was incredible by the 3rd hour. Bobby (here's your shout out Bobby) literally had to say 'on your left' as he dropped me at Hall. Don't worry sports fans, he gets his.
On the way back up Picture Rock at roughly hour 3.5 I'm going psychotic with my rotors going scwhing scwhing scwhing scwhing scwhing scwhing scwhing scwhing scwhing scwhing with that high pitched rub. I wanted to huck the thing. I'd get off and literally YANK the rotor as I swear I think they bowed with the amount of action they got. By this time Bobby, who decided to turn the screws to the stragglers suffering some bike lengths behind with an all out attack, has a leg implosion (I swear I heard it through the woods...sort of like a 'pop!') and we see him essentially dead, buzzards circling above. I leave him with a Gu and some words of advice on how to survive in the wild overnight, and we leave his ass. (HA!...kidding...on the leaving part).
We all get back to Heil ~4.5 hours later, legs baked and toasty. Bike basically steaming. Matty Opp is way too fit for this time of year (start drinking Matt) and the Torrance bros couldn't tag team to reel the kid in. Batey I think wants revenge for getting dropped by the T's as well. Don't worry Batey, they're not half as good looking as you are, so you've got that going for you.
So that's it. Recovery ride today and we begin more of these character building assaults on our bodies from here on in. Also. some crappy YouTube. I ran out of free HD time on Vimeo this week.

(Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co said U.S. regulators have approved a plan for the bank to use its capital to buy back as much as $3 billion of its stock in the first quarter of 2013.
JPMorgan had suspended buybacks in May and submitted a new capital plan to the Federal Reserve in August after containing its "London Whale" derivatives losses at about $6.2 billion.
The Federal Reserve told the bank on November 5 that it had approved the plan, JPMorgan said in a quarterly filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.
The losing derivatives positions were disclosed by JPMorgan on May 10, more than a month after reports surfaced in the credit markets that Bruno Iksil, a London-based trader for JPMorgan known as the London Whale, had made massive bets in credit markets.
The approved plan provides for JPMorgan to continue paying its current quarterly dividend on common stock, the filing said.
CEO Jamie Dimon told investors on May 21 the bank had suspended repurchases of its stock to rebuild its capital and meet higher requirements for financial safety.
Under restrictions imposed after the financial crisis, JPMorgan and other big banks cannot buy back stock or increase their dividends without approval from the Federal Reserve.
Dimon had said in early April that he could boost shareholder value by buying back stock for as much as $45 a share.
JPMorgan spent $9 billion in 2011 to buy back its shares.
In premarket trading on the New York Stock Exchange, JPMorgan shares were up 1.4 percent at $41.04.

O Emmanuel, king and lawgiver, desire of the nations, savior of all people, come and set us free, Lord our God.
In recent years there has been a hot theological topic, made public and popular by discussions surrounding Rob Bell's book, Love Wins, that centers on what the meaning of salvation is and for whom it applies. Today's O Antiphon, the last of the seven, directs our attention to the coming of Christ as God-with-us, Emmanuel. It is no surprise, perhaps, that the last of the antiphons focuses on the uniqueness and significance of the Incarnation and ties that reality — the truth of God-with-us — to Christ's role as "savior of all people." The technical term for what it means to talk about salvation for all is Apokatastasis, which is a fancy word for the belief that God desires and is capable of universal salvation. As one might imagine, as many saw with the melee that broke out around Bell's reflection on this question, there is a natural tension present in such a claim. What about sin? What if I don't want to be "saved?" What, then, is salvation all about?
Without getting into the complications of these questions, which have been the source of reflection dating back to St. Paul's time (read his letters to the Thessalonians, for example, this is a persistent concern throughout) and seen considered from the Patristic area onward, I want to offer this consideration for us to ponder as the celebration of Christmas draws near: What does it mean to profess that Christ, emmanuel, is the "savior of all people?"
Take, for example, this passage from Gaudium et Spes, which seems to help us to understand better what this antiphon might mean in affirming that Christ is "savior of all people."
While helping the world and receiving many benefits from it, the Church has a single intention: that God's kingdom may come, and that the salvation of the whole human race may come to pass. For every benefit which the People of God during its earthly pilgrimage can offer to the human family stems from the fact that the Church is 'the universal sacrament of salvation' simultaneously manifesting and actualizing the mystery of God's love. For God's Word, by whom all things were made, was Himself made flesh so that as perfect man He might save all men and sum up all things in Himself. The Lord is the goal of human history, the focal point of the longings of history and of civilization, the center of the human race, the joy of every heart and the answer to all its yearnings. He it is Whom the Father raised from the dead, lifted on high and stationed at His right hand, making Him judge of the living and the dead. Enlivened and united in His Spirit, we journey toward the consummation of human history, one which fully accords with the counsel of God's love: 'To reestablish all things in Christ, both those in the heavens and those on the earth' (Eph. 1:10). [no. 45]
Do we celebrate this sense of what God has done for us by entering our world as one like us? Or are we more prone to treat salvation as the reward for lifelong membership in an organization? Do we see the working of God's Spirit in the world, bringing all people and all of creation (see Romans 8) back to God's self in Christ? Or is Christ only the savior of those for whom it is easy, palatable, and comfortable for me to imagine or for whom I desire this telos?
This Christmas, may we come to see the world and the human family the way that God does: without borders, without discrimination, and with the hope of peace shared among all people, a peace that the world cannot give, but a peace that has been given to us by the coming of Christ, by Emmanuel.

I took the opportunity to visit my daughter Jessica Rose aka Dolphin Girl just outside (or should I say above?) Conifer, Colorado a few weeks ago, and not only did we enjoy our time together at her house at about 9,200 feet, we drank some very fine Mr. Ridge to boot. Here's the rundown:
2003 Ridge Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley, 76% Zinfandel, 18% Petite Sirah, 6% Carignane, $33.99, 14.3% alc.: Showing good, dark color, this is much as I remember it from when we first tried it; it's rich, smooth, delicious and all about "Draper perfume" at its best, with lovely ripe raspberry, black raspberry and very well integrated oak. A note of pepper comes out with extended air (still drinking well 18 hours after being opened), adding interest and complexity. The wine is structured for several years of aging and development, but is so lush and voluptuous right out of the bottle, that I wouldn't counsel against opening one tonight. Is this the last of the classic Ridge Lytton Springs?
2004 Ridge Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley, 79% Zinfandel, 18% Petite Sirah, 3% Carignane, $33.99, 14.5% alc.: With good dark color, this shows deeper, darker fruit than the '03, and little of the coffee, toast and chocolate that it offered back in '06. There is a hint of Draper perfume on the nose, with a good deal more of that character on the palate, where it delivers a rich, solid core of black raspberry and blackberry, shaded with undertones of briar-bramble and just a smidgen of the aforementioned coffee. This is drinking quite well right now, but, as always, has the structure to develop for some years. A bit bigger than the '03 and a little less lush, but only just, it's another delicious Lytton Springs, if straying slightly from the classic "mold."
2005 Ridge Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley, 77% Zinfandel, 17% Petite Sirah, 6% Carignane, 14.4% alc., $24.99: This has come around nicely since last summer; then it reminded me of "The Prisoner," which is never a compliment in my book, but it has since shed its excesses and objectionable qualities that we've previously noted. With clean, dark color, it delivers flavors and aromas of ripe black raspberry, blackberry and black cherry, shaded with well integrated oak, subtle earthy briar bramble and a hint of what might be described as "Draper perfume." Smooth, rich and drinking well, yet structured for several years of improvement. It may not be "classic" Lytton Springs, but it is certainly quite tasty at this point, and worthy of the name "Mr. Ridge."

The State of Equality and Justice in America: The Presumption of Guilt
"The State of Equality and Justice in America" is a 20-part series of columns written by an all star list of contributors to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. The contributors include: U. S. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) LCCRUL 50th Anniversary Grand Marshal; Ms. Barbara Arnwine, President and Executive Director, Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (LCCRUL); Mr. Charles Ogletree, Professor, Harvard University Law School/Director, Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice; the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr., President/CEO, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition; the Rev. Joseph Lowery, Co-founder, Southern Christian Leadership Conference; U. S. Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.); and 14 additional thought leaders and national advocates for equal justice.
Ordinarily, he would have been hailed a teenage hero for demonstrating a civic duty only expected of grown men. Yet eyewitness accounts of his beyond-the-call-of-duty service were not credited as outstanding demonstrations of good character. To police and even some bystanders his very presence made him automatically suspect. More than the possibility that he could have saved someone's life, people were consumed by their sense that he "did not belong in a fancy Tucson hotel".
The forensic evidence suggested faulty electrical wiring or some building defect as the likely cause, not arson, but scientific facts could not derail a hardwired determination that because Taylor was black, he had to be at fault. His youth, his innocence, and even his dramatic work to save and comfort the victims were imperceptible and irrelevant.
Outraged citizens wanted the death penalty. A profiler was brought in who swore under oath that the likely perpetrator was "a black teenager." Taylor was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to multiple life sentences, ensuring he would die in prison. Fortunately, the Arizona Justice Project recently took up the case. New research from the National Academy of Science proved there was no evidence of arson in the fire. Wrongly convicted, Taylor was finally released-42 years later.
It would be hard to call Mr. Taylor lucky, but the truth is thousands just like him, including innocent children, are being victimized by a presumption of guilt that never sees black and brown youth as blameless, as engaged in proverbial "good, clean, fun", as harmless. Instead it attributes to them every violence and vice, even if those suspicions contradict the facts.
For nearly 50 years, starting in the 1920s, America maintained a prison population of close to 200,000 people. Today we have the highest incarceration rate in the world with 2.3 million people in jails or prison. One out of three black boys born in 2001 is likely to serve time in jail or prison during his lifetime. Half of our incarcerated are imprisoned for non-violent drug crimes. While African American and Latino teens are less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol than whites, they are 3-4 times more likely to be arrested, convicted or sent to jail or prison for non-violent drug offenses. The violent crime rate in America is the same as it was in 1968, yet our prison system has grown by over 500 percent.
The presumption of guilt follows too many poor and minority children to school, a place where children should be nurtured and supported, not criminalized and incarcerated. Yet the pipeline from school to jail is so insidious, many parents now fear schools as much as they fear the criminal justice system.
In 2012, the Justice Department sued school officials in Meridian, Mississippi for systematically incarcerating black and disabled children for days at a time for minor dress code infractions like wearing the wrong color socks or talking back to the teacher. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, children have been expelled for giving Midol to classmates, bringing household goods to school for Goodwill donations and scissors to class for an art project. Recently, one black Florida during a science experiment.
Children as young as five years old are being led out of classrooms in handcuffs for acting out or throwing temper tantrums. They have been arrested for throwing an eraser at a teacher, breaking a pencil, and having rap lyrics in a locker. Black children constitute 18 percent of the nation's public school population but 40% of the children who are suspended or expelled.
In Arizona, Alabama, Georgia and a growing number of states, legally sanctioned racial profiling has been resurrected leading Latinos particularly, and other U.S citizens of color, to fear harassment, suspicion and detention.
In New York City between 2002 to 2011, 90 percent of the city's notorious 'stop and frisk' victims have been Black and Latino residents. In 88 percent of those stops, people of color were found to be innocent of any wrongdoing.
In the year when this nation will celebrate the Supreme Court's historic ruling to create a right to counsel for indigent people accused of crimes, protections for the poor and innocent are almost non-existent. In a courtroom, where justice should be blind, the presumption of guilt is especially dangerous. Today too many innocent prisoners like Taylor are trapped by systemic pressure to plead guilty in a system where 96 percent of all convictions are rendered by plea bargains.
The Innocent Defendant's Dilemma, a recent study, describes how the blameless, particularly those who are poor, find it an onerous, nearly impossible burden to prove their innocence. With few resources for defense, they find themselves trapped by a system that presumes their guilt. Since the odds seem hopelessly stacked against them, many innocent individuals reluctantly plead guilty to avoid the longest prison terms or even death. Innocent victims lose years in prison, face rejection because of criminal records, and many never reach their potential.
We have come a great distance in the last 50 years, but we still have not fully escaped the miseducation and distortions created by America's policies of racial injustice. These problems demand remedies, and we must admit this nation may require some form of therapy before we can freely reconcile ourselves to a better future informed by the truth surrounding present human rights abuses and those of the past.
Despite progress, in the last 50 years we have retreated from an honest conversation about racial and economic justice, and have opted instead for mass criminalization and incarceration leaving many poor and minority people marginalized and condemned. As Taylor's story reminds us, out of sight is hardly out of mind. It is an abysmal violation of human dignity.
U. S. Rep. John Lewis has represented the 5th Congressional District of Georgia since 1987. An iconic civil rights leader and recipient of a 2010 Presidential Medal of Freedom, he is the only living person who was actually a speaker at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Bryan Stevenson is executive director and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative and a professor of law at New York University.
This article - the fifteenth of a 20-part series - is written in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, of which Congressman Lewis is grand marshal. The Lawyers' Committee is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, formed in 1963 at the request of President John F. Kennedy to enlist the private bar's leadership and resources in combating racial discrimination and the resulting inequality of opportunity - work that continues to be vital today.

The small, but coherent first offering of the brand consists of a series of men's, women's and unisex pieces that will be released for Fall/Winter 2013. A poem written by the German artist Kurt Schwitters in 1919, going by the same name, acts as the main inspiration for the brand's fashion understanding. Various influences are united in the first collection, which presents itself in mostly black. Premium embroideries and leather set the right amount of accents and underline the focus on great cuts and general focus on details by the brand. Look out for a release at select retailers and online in the coming weeks.

Parent Directory | Revision Log
As we're running each plugin in a fork, we need to call our cleanup code so we don't leak memory. To this extent, we now have the global boolean rc_in_plugin and the cleanup code can act accordingly.
Add --nocolor to more programs
Change pwd to / for all init scripts, #181224.
Create a function for running init.sh and init-early.sh which saves on code and removes a gcc-4.2 warning
Default eend to SUCCESS if no options given
RC_INTERACTIVE now works, #178331.
Always pass ttyname to sulogin
Don't timeout waiting for checkfs and checkroot. Do a better fix later.
Set fonts in init-early.sh, don't stop services twice when shutting down and lock prefixed output.
Don't pass $CONSOLE to sulogin and split rc_environ_fd on NULLs
We now have an alternative to buffering stdout and stderr. RC_PREFIX="yes" will put the service name as a prefix to all output made by the service. Thanks to Ciaran McCreesh for the idea.
We now buffer stdout and stderr to a file and flush that when running in parallel. RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP has been renamed to RC_PARALLEL.
Style fixes
Re-work the starting and stopping of services so we always know the pid so we can kill our children without the need for process groups which we cannot use as keyboard will not work in init.
Fix rc-abort to notify the plugins we are aborting
Added the rc-abort command, #175106 thanks to Daniel Drake.
Plugins now run in a forked process for extra resliance.
strdup -> rc_xstrdup
Rationalise our colour usage a little.
Cuddle up to LKML C style
Change veinfo and friends to einfov. Rationale - we may need veinfo to support va_list in the future.
Fix indentation
rc does not need SIGCHLD handler. Also, always return 0 in /etc/rc as non zero for default may freeze system.
Use names instead of numbers for reporting signals and trap signals in rc
LIBDIR -> LIB. When interuppted, ensure service state is restored correctly. When stopping, don't uncoldplug too early.
Misc fixes, plugged a memory leak in runscript.c and use va_copy to avoid nasty segfaults
We now compile on OpenBSD (no idea if it works or not yet)
Rewrite the core parts in C. We now provide librc so other programs can query runlevels, services and state without using bash. We also provide libeinfo so other programs can easily use our informational functions. As such, we have dropped the requirement of using bash as the init script shell. We now use /bin/sh and have strived to make the scripts as portable as possible. Shells that work are bash and dash. busybox works provided you disable s-s-d. If you have WIPE_TMP set to yes in conf.d/bootmisc you should disable find too. zsh and ksh do not work at this time. Networking support is currently being re-vamped also as it was heavily bash array based. As such, a new config format is available like so config_eth0="184.108.40.206/24 18.104.22.168/16" or like so config_eth0="'18.104.22.168 netmask 255.255.255.0' '18.104.22.168 netmask 255.255.0.0'" We will still support the old bash array format provided that /bin/sh IS a link it bash. ChangeLog for baselayout-1 can be found in our SVN repo.

Would you give your right arm (or leg) for a steak?
By William M. Mullins, C.P.
The man sitting in my office had just undergone his third amputation in as many years. First, doctors amputated his right foot after a blister refused to heal and gangrene set in. Then, they cut off the leg just below the knee. Now, he had graduated to "AK" (above the knee). He was losing his leg, inch by inch, to "Big Mac attacks."
As someone who makes prosthetic limbs for a living, I see a lot of tragedy: children who have lost limbs to cancer, motorcycle accident victims, farmers who've lost arms in agricultural machinery. But perhaps the most tragic cases of all are the diabetics who've essentially cut off their own legs with a knife and fork.
Diabetes has become an epidemic. More than 25 million Americans have diabetes, and more than 230,000 of them die each year from causes related to the disease. It is now the seventh-leading cause of death in the U.S. This November, National Diabetes Month, is the perfect time to do something about it.
Most of my patients have spent a lifetime eating diets rich in animal products loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol, which has left them overweight and suffering from the type-2 or "adult-onset" diabetes that afflicts 90 to 95 percent of diabetics. This form of diabetes usually appears after age 40—think Paula Deen and Aretha Franklin—although it is increasingly being found in younger adults (e.g., Ruben Studdard) and even teens and young children. It is often linked to obesity and inactivity, but even seemingly fit people, such as Tom Hanks, can develop it.
Diabetes can cause heart disease, strokes, blindness, kidney failure and pneumonia. It also leads to nerve damage and poor circulation in the feet and legs, which is where I come in. Limited blood flow makes it hard for sores and infections to heal and can ultimately lead to amputation of a toe, foot or leg. More than 65,000 people have diabetes-related leg and foot amputations each year. Sixty percent of all lower-limb amputations not resulting from trauma occur in people with diabetes. Most diabetic amputees don't live long—the majority of my patients are dead within nine years of their first amputation.
So how can you stay on your feet and out of my office? Easy: Eat a low-fat, high-fiber, plant-based diet. Recent studies indicate that fat impairs insulin's ability to function and that blood-sugar levels are under better control when people eat diets that are high in fiber and low in fat.
A study led by Dr. Neal Barnard, author of Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs, showed that 43 percent of diabetics on a low-fat vegan diet were able to cut back on their medications, compared to only 26 percent of those who followed the diet recommended by the American Diabetes Association. A Harvard School of Public Health study suggests that eating red meat and processed meats can increase a person's risk for type-2 diabetes by as much as 50 percent.
Dr. Barnard encourages diabetics to eat low-fat plant-based foods with a low glycemic index, such as beans, peas, lentils, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, carrots, brown rice, barley, quinoa, whole-grain pasta, bananas, apples, peaches, berries and citrus fruits. He also advises people to avoid added vegetable oils and other high-fat foods as well as refined sugar and flour.
Dietary changes alone can help cut back on the amount of insulin needed—or eliminate it altogether in some cases—and minimize complications. I've seen the "complications" of diabetes firsthand, and I want to keep my legs—which is why I'm a vegetarian.
William M. Mullins is a certified prosthetist who lives in Knoxville, Tenn., with his wife and a rescued dog and cat. He wrote this op-ed for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), 501 Front St., Norfolk, VA 23510; www.PETA.org.

I was watching a TV show the other night, and in a discussion among characters, it was revealed one of them invited an ex-boyfriend to her wedding. They were still friends, but it was made clear they dated for awhile. And I started thinking about the fact that I'm good friends with an ex, who will most certainly be in attendance at my wedding. Is that weird?

Love the background, my friend! I pretty much stalk the hell out of my ex's on facebook, so I can tell how they ended up. But lately, I've been better at staying friends with most of them. It's shocking that I'm capable of acting in such an adult manner, as opposed to the tire slashing that I was prone to in my early twenties. And doesn't it feel great to be able to write "fiance"?!

My ex broke my spirit once upon a time. I still think of him with hate and discontent. However, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been a drunken idiot on night and sat diwn at a poker table where I met my husband.
I heard that he had a baby with some girl, I don't think he married her and for her sake I'm sad that she has to even have someone like him in her life. Then again, maybe she is a lying, cheating coward like him amd they deserve each other. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Thank heavens to real men and the women like us who' e found them.

MOTORISTS have been left bemused about whether they need to pay to park on a high street after reading apparently contradictory signs.
North Yorkshire County Council has placed signs at the entrances to Northallerton High Street stating its controversial parking charges scheme came into effect on Monday.
The authority hopes the move will attract shoppers to the town by easing congestion and making short-stay car-parking easier in the High Street.
But traders, including Barkers department store, Bettys Tea Rooms and grocer Lewis and Cooper, have said the scheme will deter customers and of 400 people who responded to a council consultation over the scheme, only ten were in support.
In recent weeks, the council has installed a number of parking meters, which state motorists must pay 80p an hour after an initial 30 free minutes.
However, alongside the 250 parking bays, up to 20 signs fixed to posts, which do not mention parking charges, simply advise drivers they can park for up to two hours, from 8am to 6pm, from Monday to Saturday, as they could under previous parking scheme.
In the first two days of charging hundreds of motorists have paid up to £1.60 to park, while others have ignored the parking meters and displayed parking discs for up to two hours.
Scores of other motorists have paid for tickets and displayed parking discs in their windscreens.
Ian Woods, chairman of Thornton le Moor Parish Council, said: "It's a complete farce. I've just driven down the High Street and it's unclear whether you need to pay or not.
"I live in the area, so goodness knows what it would be like for someone new to the town."
Motorist Doug Gray, who has lived in Northallerton for 50 years, said he had opted to place a disc in his car, while another driver, who declined to be named, left both a parking disc and a £1.60 ticket in her car.
She said: "I puzzled over the signs for a good ten minutes after parking, who knows what you should do?
"On reflection, if people do neither I don't think they should be fined or should refuse to pay it as it's just so confusing."
A council spokesman said: "All the signs that are up comply with the national signage regulations.
"We will monitor the situation to see if there is a need for some extra signs."

UPDATE: Man shot in Wesley during house break-inDominica News Online - Tuesday, January 4th, 2011 at 7:50 AM
A man was shot and injured in an alleged robbery in Wesley at about 1 a.m. Tuesday.
Reports are that the gunman broke into the victim's house, and during a struggle, the victim was shot in the stomach. He is now a patient at the Princess Margaret Hospital.
The victim, who is about 40-50 years old, lives alone.
One man has been held for questioning in relation to the incident.
Magistrate Tiyani Behanzin is planning to hold a peace conference in Wesley on Sunday, Jan. 23 at the Wesley Catholic Church. Behanzin said there is an increase in crime in the village.
This is the second shooting in less than a month.
In December 2010, Vaughn Dodds was shot multiple times. The shooting occurred from a vehicle. Dodds is still a patient at the hospital.
Twenty-three-year-old Lee Anthony of Morne Rachette has been charged with attempted murder and shooting with intent to cause grievous bodily harm to Dodds .
Anthony is currently remanded at the Dominica State Prison.
In late December, a 22-year old woman of Wesley was remanded into custody after being charged for the attempted murder of her cousin. Muriel Thomas allegedly stabbed Rosemund Cheryl Thomas with a knife in her neck during a dispute.

You know who is responsible for crime? The one who commit the crime! The criminal is responsible. It's that plain and simple. If you commit the crime you must do the time.
People must learn to take responsibilty for their actions. We must stop making excuses.We must stop the blame game. Do not blame poverty, the government, the region of the country, the economy, and parents. Mothers especially gets many of the blame for the actions of grown men and women.
We must stop the "It's not my fault" mentality that's taking over the whole world. This is not only a Dominican problem. We must get rid of that victim mentality!
what can the parlint rep do???????
a rep has to be actively invovled in his or her community during special events and holidays,i times of festivities and in times of sadness. It is his or her duty to bring reassurance to the community they serve. In this case where there has been a heightend increase of violence in the community. The rep needs to come forward in some sort of town hall meeting, public anouncement and let the community know that him or her cares. Your community is been shoved under the bus by ignorant people who do not know it, bring back confidence to the community and the country. I hope this ansanswers your question. that is the job of a rep.campaigning is every dasy not just during election when the votes are needed
Why do we keep on blaming others for our kids bad behavior? Our kids are our responsibilities not the Parl Rep or the communities we live in. Gone are the days when the neighbor was allowed to spank your kids. We need to teach our children right from wrong when they are small and not wait when they become adults.Too late has always been the cry.
It is not the lack of jobs, the government or Skerrit who are to be blamed for the upsurge in crime, but we ourselves who have become complacent and toleranr of the deviants and recedevist among us.Case in point, every person in Grand Bay knew about the reputation of the two brothers who were killed in Grand Bay, every villager knew that those two brothers had fled prosecution in ST THOMAS after murdering an ac quaintance in St Thomas every villager knew of their violent and anti social behavior and yet the entire community felt at ease to have them living in the open among the populace.WHY was the presence of these anti social individuals not reported to the police, when it was a well known fact that they had fled St Thomas to avoid proecution, That exercise in COMMUNITY POLICING was lost on those Grandbayrians A GANGSTER is highly respected in Grand Bay. Take a look at how they strut up and the Laley
Where there is illegal drugs operating in the villages, there will be crimes. Sometimes it is not the drug industry itself, but the drug culture,
Added to that you have men who learnt their desparado habits overseas and got deported back to Dominica, and instead of thanking God for the opportunity to start a new page, they creat trouble here. Trouble has become their wy of life. These men bring back a notoriety with them that make the local boys decide they are not taking chances with them. I am not saying that this is the only reason fof the crimes, but for sure at least three of the killings since the holiday season involved deportees.

It's time to pray for our village and country. Forget about passing the blame, and claim back our island from the devil!!!! Our father in Heaven we invite your presence in our island. Please instill the fear of you and obedience to your words in our heart. you said in your words that "if my people who are called by my name would humble themselves and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land…." heal Dominica Lord Jesus. In Jesus name we pray
Now we know how the U W P people relay wicked and bent on destroying our country every thing that happen is Skerrit or Labour is the young people that don't want to work and want to leave sweet our young people to LAZY and aided and abetted by their parents don't blame the govt.I must say thanks to Mr. Tiyani Behanzin for his stand i wish more of our magistrates would do like him this country would be better, young people really listen to him he is not all about jailing young people he also educate them. I appeal to the Government to re sign his contract as chief magistrate all magistrates make mistakes his is less than theirs God bless you Behanzin you will be on the bench again we will pray for that cause.I hope the AG listen to the voice of God if he believes in him and leave Tiyani alone he is a good man for Dominica do good to ROOSEVELT DOUGLAS son or his ghost will hunt you Levi Peters.
you speak on both side of you mouth, if the Gov't don't create Job how can the young people get work to do, and i hope you really asking you Gov't to put back this magistrate there because he is the only one who will calm Dominica down now, but again why would they do that knowing he will deal with them all one by one.
To all the other magistrates that want Mr. Behanzin gone it will not happen can you imargin that he can reach the young people and that is killing you guys had it ever accur to you that he is not about politic he is about the developing and education of the people of DOMINICA. therefore, that's why he stays away from the rat race and I am very proud of him he cannot be bought he is somewhat like his grand father R B D Douglas back in those days and that's the kind of person we need in DOMINICA we do not need any more of the yes sir yes sir and give me give me people.
The resiging of his contract is just becaue he will not play ball with them(Govt) like Peters does and that's a shame.Behanzin is here to stay and we like his work.
Many of you bellow are still playing the blame game….it is not me, is the Gov't, or it is the Pal Rep, or it is the Politics,or it is the Church….but what about each of us as an individual….what have we done to assist? Have we been holding our own? Have we taken up our role as Mothers, Fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunt, or uncles. Have we encouraged a friend? or support them to turn the cheeks, or somthing of that nature? Have we shown our peers, its aight to be a Christian, to praise our God, go attend fellowship, to not drink or smoke? etc…… Have we done our part? Once we can answer positively to these we can then start pointing fingers…..
The churches have united and village groups are working but where is the government to pull all these resources together to make it work. We need leadership in Wesley.
Yes crime will take place but at the rate its happening it is becoming the wild, wild Wesley. Where is the Parl Rep is a legitimate question. We need her to provide leadership to move us forward to the next level.
When a person is elected, their responsibilities are vast and varied. One of the top things for Wesley is Crime and security. She cannot do everything but she must provide guidance with the help of the community to lead us. It is a social issue and a community issue and as ministry responsible for both, tell us what your plan is. You know of the problem for years now and don't say that she cannot tell people what to do. You can present them with alternatives and provide an outlet for those who are idle to find something constructive to do. The next level is not to pass the blame put to gives us the tools to deal with the issues confronting us.
Crime is a national and government issue. The government have to find out the root cause of the problem and then impliment solutions. This cock and bull story that government don't tell people to kill is not working. There is a problem, work with the people to fix it. Put legislation, security, social and community services in place to help curb crime in our community
When did badness go out of style?
DA is just going thru a cycle. It will end but will not be anytime soon. If you look at most major cities, they go thru that. The only thing is, most of them big enough to overcome crime waves. Can DA overcome this one? Only time will tell.
now dis was suppose to be about a man shootin another man….CAN SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE HOW DA HELL IS POLITICS LINKED TO THIS…???????????……….DA GOVERNMENT OF DOMINICA aka PM SKERRIT HAS NOTHIN TO DO WITH DIS…….DOMINICANS JUST HYPOCRITICAL….A MAN SHOOT A MAN N IS POLITICS ALLU MUST FIND TO TALK…..LEAVE POLITICS OUT OF SOMETHING FOR ONCE…….MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!
So true, but lets be honest. It is easier to blame someone else than to face the truth.
Yes there is a major lack of jobs.
To the parents – when your sons or daughters bring home something (like a blackberry) that you know you did not buy for them or that they could not afford, do you ask them where they got it from. We all want nice things, but when we know that we cannot afford them, we do without.
This is not about a man shooting another man my friend, this is about a small community with 9 unsloved murders in recent times and a rash of violent crimes at present, used to be that something would happen and for a long time there would be peace, thats life we can all live with that in an imperfect world, but dont tell me that if you lived in wesley you would not be concerned about what is going on. First, there are four very well known drug houses in wesley, known to everyone except the police. when was the last time you read in any article, that a drug house in wesley was raided? we see politics as red and blue, politics is involved in every aspect of a person's daily life, and moreso as a community. Who gives the guidelines to the community as to what will and will not be tolorated? let us be realistic, if you have the majority of your able bodied men and women unemployed and idle all day long, there is going to be trouble,it is the job of the people who are the community leaders and organizers to impliment programs to keep the youth occupied, yes there will be a criminal element, but that will be much easier to deal with. You know what saddens me? when I go home to wesley and see guys that were hard working farmers and doing relatively well,either in the rum shop or outside the crack house, wesley was a bustling agricultural mecca,now there are no farms because people have lost their hope because the markets are not there for the thing that they did produce; so that speaks of leadership, because compared to marigot the crime rate in wesley is large percentage points above that of marigot, the reason is leadership. Say what you may about Eddison James but he is the undisputed leader in Marigot, so the people take there cue from their leader and marches on and then the domino effect is an upward one, making people believe in themselves. we need leaders who can say more than, I labor, or workers; we need people with people skills,and who really love people and want the best for them and their community.
some of what you sat is true , but no one should allow themselves to get to the gutter because you think a government is responsible . Did our parents and grand parents depend pn government to survive ? no .they toil and took care of all of us with the absence of crime . Dominica has a population of about 80 ,000, do you really mean that the Government should provide jobs for every one . God helps those who help themselves. The problem is that Dominicans of this era do not want to touch the soil , they want fast money , so they will look at your hard labor and steal it , take to drugs , destroy people's children and bring destruction on our beloved country . Dominica is a Blessed country with so much natural resources why not explore the resources God gave us freely ? Why cant a group of men come together and get a lumber factory , water bottling , metal waste recycling and so on in place . Don't you believe that the Government would lend a hand , oh no , they wont , why?
no .. there is alot of people that lives in wesley and they are not from there.. no one should make excuses..we just want back our little wesley.. the violent free one .. i remember when the uwp was in power there was a vac school in marigot wher the idle kids use to go to spend their time.. this is not about politics but our so call palrep need to organize some form of leader ship for the young people.. and u will see how that will work
So the man being shot was the fault of the Government?
Are some people stubborn or wicked or stupid?
The person at fault is the gunman.
He was not given the gun by the government, he was not sent there by the government and the proceeds he aimed to receive from his action was not to pay the government.
Some segment of society will turn to crime to feed their needs.
Most of us turn to work. We get a job pay our bills and try hard.
Stop making excuses for De Voleh!
What should happen is we kill one every time they come into our homes to steal.
Deportees who went away to other countries picked up the bad habits, refined their skills and were deported are now trying to do the same thing here.
Science has taught us that we were all can be taught, but God reminds us that he designed a plan for all of us when he allowed us to be born. Assume that you are a young person with no commitments but intend to, or that you are a single parent raising your child or children, or that couple with you family, given such an awesome gift. It may be financially difficult or emotionally challenging times, what isn't but here you are reading this news report. Now assume that it was you were the victim and switch shoes, you are the accused? What are we doing and who is it helping? Our children that we gave birth to have bars built to keep them away, they are called murderers, drug dealers, menace to society, society scorned and so much more. Our adults have now compromised their moral judgments that they prefer not to speak up to ensure their portion, too ashamed to raise our kids anymore. Say what ever your heart leads you to say but we are all responsible. What are we doing, and where are we going, we are still a people with a good heart and sound dignity, pointing a finger when four is pointed back at us is an indication that something more is expected of us and we are not even listening. We have become immovable Mountains, unshakable Islands, kill with our words because of so much war in our hearts. Why?
Yeah you wish he was from some other village. That is one place in Da i am scared of going at nights. As a kid we went playing football in wesley and they told us after the game we better don't stay around until it gets dark. That was in 1987 and i was 16yrs old at the time. I have never been to that place since.
that's a lie, Wesley was one of the most peaceful villages in DA, times have changed people got modernised, they now have a few dollars and so they forget GOD. Once we take GOD out of the picture the bottom falls out of everything. We need to stop the blame game and pray for Dominica.
Let me begin by saying, WAKE UP MY PEOPLE!
I am from Wesley and proud to be! but the recent rise in crime is quite shameful!
MOT.. if u did ur research properly you would see that Wesley's seat was won by UWP and not Labour. So your argument about severe crimes being in labour stronghold areas is null and void. I actually do not even see how you drew that reference. Oh and MOT how many seats did Labour win again? ok, so with ur "statistics" basically "severe" crimes (all crime is crime) are being committed in 95% of the island and "less severe" crime takes place in 2 constituencies just because they voted UWP? *I am giggling inside*
@well well.. the crime happened early Tuesday morning.. if I recollect correctly it is still Tuesday morning. Give the parl rep time to prepare a speech and give the local stations a phone call so a press conference can be held. I mean if that is what you want, because it seems to me that by a parl rep reading some words of a paper on national television, that all the crime in the village is going to miraculously disappear.
@concerned citazon.. Are you serious?? If I had to address you fully, it would be a 10 pg single spaced 10fnt sized letter, which would be too long for DNO. But I will try to be short and sweet! Are you unaware of your history? "Catholic church you say wii" Go to the library and read up on the Spanish inquisition, Christianity in the western world, slavery, the holocaust to name a few! Did you know that Adolf Hitler was a faithful practising Roman catholic? Now I am not one to preach about Christianity and I try not too and just so you know I am not an Atheist ! But by JAH (depends on the name you would prefer to call him) * Buddha, God, Allah, Jehovah etc.* Maybe we would be better off with out the 2 evils > (Politics and Religion) I have never seen a thing pull communities apart more than those two!
I do support and push for community togetherness! we need to put politics and religion aside and teach values and morals to our kids so that they can become upstanding citizens! & YES values and morals can be taught without religion. I do think that without the brain washing of religion that we can actually build a peaceful community! Now I know that as a people we need religion, health, morality, wealth etc. to make us whole as individuals! so that we can make decisions between right and wrong. Basically what I am trying to say is that we need Balance! No extremists!!
Bottom line : We need to stop thinking as small minded people in a small island. Crime happens! it is inevitable! as long as there is a sun in the sky, night and day, good and evil, ying and yang bad things will happen and can happen, we cannot prevent them, but we can make stricter laws that will probably for the most make them happen less, and with education, job creation and other means we can get crime into the 1% and maybe we can once again be the most peaceful place on earth!
Sir/Ma'am, FYI, Wesley sit was won by Teacher Gloria Dodds Shillingford for the DLP. she is more absent than Jerome Burke and Peter Carbon since the last General elections.
She had nothing to say after the drive by shooting of her former "bodyguard" Vaughn Dodds and the stabbing of the young woman so why should we wait 24hrs for her to give a written press release? Teacher glor does not care and we see that again. e've seen it before when she was Principal and we are seeing it again. She will not get my vote again for sure.
I will vote for Tiyani next election. I can seee that he cares about my well-being. Please mr Behanzin, come represent us.
ok so the seat was won by labour, sorry for the misinformation .. at least someone is paying attention.. Anyhow…what does that have to do with crime in the village?.. more absent than whooo? Peter Carbon?? If I told you I saw Peter Carbon a day in my life other than on TV and when he was campaigning, I lie! at least she is in Dominica. Anyway.. I was not trying to make my comment political.. I am against blaming politics for everything wrong that goes on in our country. I like how you only nitpicked on the part of my post. Fact is .. no matter who is in power and who the parl rep is .. crime is going to happen! & if u understood my post you would see where I am coming from.. and ps.. what did u see b4 when she was a principal? Well I attended STAH for 5 years while she was principal and I attended Wesley Methodist church for 16 years of my life and took part in her Sunday school class. So please tell me about teacher Glor… After all, she is only human.. what are you guys looking for superwoman?
the crime problem is all over dominica, not in any particular community. dominica is our country and we need to preserve it for our children and our childrens children. we need not blame anyone for we all are somewhat responsible. what we must do is to be honest, be each others keepers,to love and care for each other. we should call crime , crime no matter who commits it.no one is above the law and thus the law must apply to all
Dominicans are always looking for someone else to blame except themselves. The onus lies with the individual. Did Gloria Shillingford send the youngman to thief, or Lee to shoot Vaughn or the young lady to stab her cousin ? Why are we so hypocrite?
Whether Labour, Freedom or Workers there has been and will always be crime. We need to examine our conscience and values..
We are too greedy, violent, jealousy and ignorant. We refuse education at all levels and indoctrinate our children with selfish thoughts then turn around and look for someone to blame.
We talk too much and fail to act positively. We focus on the negatives and things that will hurt a brother although we profess to be God -Fearing….
Dominicans bring in some positive changes in 2011.
why do we blame the government for the sins of the ppl!! Everyone is there own individual and bmake their own choices the government is not there telling these ppl to harm each other! So bkilling sombody bis a way to relief stress then?? This is the devils doing and our ppl are surrendering themselves to fullfill the devils wishes!!this is nothing about government!! Stop playing the blame game! When the citizens do wrong we blame the government!! So who's to blame when the goverment does wrong?? Do we blame th citizens or do we blame someone bigger than the government and when that person does wrong do we blame GOD?? Every one is responsible for their own individual choice,, wat the government needs to do is hang these suckers!!and castrate these child molesters!!!
These manifestations are all a by-product of the bad medicine that we have been taking intravenously. We have imported America's lifestyle of MTV, pimp my ride, MTV cribs, peudo-gangstar rap videos, etc. Our eyes see more, and we want more…and if we can't get more, we begin to enter the dark side of the moon. We want the big house on the hill, but we can't afford it…We build roads and stadiums, but our society is infested with a fractured educational system, unemployment, beff-kokayers, corrupt politicians, power-hungry business men, a handicapped police force, voleurs, teenage pregnancy, fake gangstars throwing up stupid signs with their fingers, etc…Weh, leh, leh, mama…
we dont make ppl, we dont make their minds , so no peace talk or minister can change someone minds if they set their mind to do something so stop blaming ministers ..wat we need 2 do is get together and pray . prays is the only thing dat can help us get through wat we are going through now …
I sympathize with this gentleman for his problems and pray that people of Goodwill provide the police with the necessary info to put behind bars this unscrupulous individual, cowardly act.
I have noticed that Mr. Behanzin wishes to hold a peace conference very encouraging and note worthy. While I praise Mr. Behanzin for his efforts and that of his organization and especially his US based lawyer friend, there are a few observations I wish to bring to the fore.
I'm aware that the US based lawyer has approached Pastors, Evangelists, Priests, Minister of Religion among others, while visiting the US to be part of that peace conference, but what is glaring is that he has yet to make an approach to his friends at Q95, the persons who have now become sanitary engineers, while inciting violence, causing a great divide among Dominicans, spreading hatred by their utterances, can you asked them to cease all that they are doing and saying.
How can all, that is Priests, Pastors etc. embrace such an offer when you don't asked those people to stop preaching hate and division. As a Magistrate yourself, I hope you'll asked all people to stop the hate and divide so that we have peace.
Mr. Behanzin will you and the US based lawyer asked that Q95 stop that hate and division and allow Peace and Unity to take root in Dominica? I'm sure that is not asking too much of you. Will you publish any letter or press statement you make to Q95 on this matter so that Dominicans will know you're serious and that you're not just trying something new as it were?
Happy New Year to you, Sir.

Where is Gloria Shillingford in all this eh? What is she and Charles Saverin saying eh? They used to have all kinds of things to say about the absence of Peter Carbon,Gloria Shillingford is here in Dominica,living in Canefield,minding Canefield people business,putting problems in the Canefield Urban Council. Wesley people gave you their mandate go and be with your people in Wesley,go and be on the ground with them,go and tend to their issues,go and find out what are the social ills
plaguing your constituency, this constituency has been under scrutiny for a while now go create some empowerment within the village council so they can run adult education classes,teach tiling and other skills. Teacha Glor you and Saverin as minister of National Security allu toooooooooo silent. IS TIME FOR D MOOMOOS TO START TALKING!!!!!
I agree with 100% i really like to know where she is even when they shut vauhgn i never heard this woman came out and give a speech on it, so really that's what we come too vote for an illegal P M and no matter what is going we cannot speak, but i will say as Randy Arron i must speak when things like that is happen to us, i must speak and i will speak.
Now you must politicise it ????????? Again politics in 2011??? Not ashamed??? Again so early in the New year. Displaying blaming attitude again so our youths will do wrong and yes blame it on someone.. and continue because when I do wrong it is not me .. it is someone else .. esp the system.. the government. What role model are we displaying to the young ones? Always blaming someone?
Wake up my people – let the scales drop fromour eyes and let us do something each and everyone of us in our community . The persons in the community can form the groups. What about you start something positive in 2011. Form the group and bring your suggestions as to the adult clases in the consistuency. The village council and the Government cannot do it alone. And for once be volunteers as well, if you love your fellowmen, it will not be about money alone.. Do you have a skill , then share and teach some of the young men /women in your community as well.
WOW!!!!!!!! does crime exist in any other part of DOminica but my home town GRAND-BAY? i thought it doesn't because when it happens there the entire country talks about we need pray. yes we do need pray but again not only us needs it the entire country needs it……again please if we could all try to stop the crimes and stop looking at waht other villages do i think we would have a more beautiful and wonderful NATURE ISLE
Tany stephens said it best
"Providing no jobs and
telling us stop the crime
Is like beating a child
and telling him not to cry
With all the highways you a build
and go through
You never build a little avenue
Fi di youths dem earn a buck,
things a run a muck
tell me what the fuk
You really think a go happen
If dem enuh earn a buck gun a buss
and none of us
really want that shit to happen
You mistah, you know me nah try fi dis ya
but everything no so criss ya
we jus a look a little help prime ministah"
Words of the wise
This has nothing to do with Labaaaaaaaa….we too like to play the blame game. Lets all examine our conscience and turn to God. We need to re-establish the Family Units which are lacking in our Societies…. children making children, the young men disrespecting the young ladies and even the elderly…the young ladies no longer have Pride in themselves… young men want easy money and do not see the need to seek gainful employeement….this is whats lacking, AND its time Men stop being Just daddy's but rather Fathers…take up there role and lead the family, guide the young men. To often we blame others, have we really examine ourselves personally??????
But don't you think if the Gov't was put Job is place for the past 10yrs the people would have work to do so they wont turn drugs and being lazy all the country,is the Gov't to blame because they teaching people how to beg and dependant on people on other people so tell who to blame, well unless they bring back banana , etc things will never be the same back home for our people, thats why they have to go nowwwwwwwwwwww
Where are the jobs for the young men to find gainful employment? With all the roads that are been built……..BE HONEST who are the people who are gainful employed …..Are US DOMINICANS OR THE CHINESE?……although I don't condone CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES in any shape or form…Because we don't know who next…..WhO is To be blame for all this ……Is It not the the PM AND the Labour party gov't?……….What is development for this people? …..Is it not a BEGGING, HAND-OUT MENDICANT SOCIETY?…….LOve your PM …BUT MY GOD FOR your safety as well as mine and others..STOP>>>>and ask the gov't to create enabling environment for our peopleto be gainfully employed…DOMINICANS COULD NEVER BE WORKING IN CHINA ON CHINESE ROADS WHILE THE CHINESE NATIVE OUT OF WORK….STOP AND THINK HARD………………………………////////////
True say look at the problems and do not hide … you did touch on some of the real ills.
We need to examine ourselves and also see if we are indeed contributing to the ills of society. Al our young men are under the blocks. Our young ladies do not see themselves as temples of the Holy Ghost and they protray themselves as objects to be used. Self esteem has dropped to the lowest level ( displayed by some of us as well).
Probably in 2011, we need to go look for the lost sheep on the "Block". They won't come for spiritual food so we probalbly need to bring it to them?
Anyone with me on this? We will probably pray about this and seek our Father for clearance on that one. We have to do things differently not as before. Our young people are out and the enemy is destroying them. Did not Christ say that he (The Shepherd of our soul) came to get the lost sheep?
Now it is the time for people to go back to basic,when we were a praying people alll of these violence were not taking place so it is time go back to praying and stop blasting the catholic church becouse when we were the only ones we were a peaceful people where every bodyispected every body and the children were every bodies children,now u came and stated preaching disrispect and so our people have lost all repect, so go back to praying all of us
Just a bunch of worthless Wesley young people trying to spoil the good name of Wesley.In the midst of all that….there a positive,vibrant and God-fearing people in that village.When will we learn to do good?When will we learn that when we do bad it affects a whole nation?The people who are hell-bent on destroying the place,or causing trouble are those who have turned their backs on church and God.Come on Wesley work to do….. on those knees and pray.I wish you all a Happy New year.
i'd like to know if its against the law to walk with body armor,,,,or bullet proof vest etc,,,,cause the way peeps get killed these days i'll consider having one,,,but i find it funny that most severe crimes occur in d.l.p strong holds,,,i mean c.n.n or fox would have carried such survey,,,this is nor reaching from the obvious,,,,
What we expect when our people from Wesley sitting with the devil and all the curruption going on in Gov't what do we expect, we use to have so much young men and women Working everyday for our living now all that has taken away from us, young ladies trying to kill their own family, is just to much now am waiting to hear from the pal rep because they don't speak out when things happen so i will be listening to her what she have to say.
f the Pal rep cannot provide any leadership then why is she there? The government need to step up and address the concerns of the community. Wesley have had many issues over the years and the community has tried and continues to find solutions but they need help from the government.
Stop blaming parents who have very little and is doing the best they can. Get rid of those drug dealers who are supporters of the Parl Rep. Get some gutts and disassociate yourself with the ones feeding the criminal activities in the village.
There is a social and security issue island wide and the ministers responsible need to get there act together and generate a plan of action to confront the problems. Stop putting all the blame on parents for not having a clear understanding of the issues facing Dominicans. If these criminal concerns are not addressed, I am sorry for the state of our country.
I honestly believe that the government is trying to place the blame on parents and society because they do not know what to do.
Dominica for sure u are right. I do not support the government that is in power now but blaming Glo is not going to help, there is nothing she can do to stop the violence. Our problem as Dominicans is that we blame everything on politics, that is y we will not get better. Grow up people it is 2011.
where is our minister of national securite,did u heard him after the fire at the former magistrate home did u heard him after the double murder in grandbay ,did u heard him after the murder in pitit soufrierre and so many oders the awnser is no he busy on kairi fm playing cartoon that is what he is getting payed for tailk nonsence boycotting ligetemate bussness.
no disrespect, this is maybe a person who is not eloquent, as most of you , but they just want to contribute, and they write as they speak. but i pretty sure you got the message, and that is his or her intent, if it was in your favor you would let it go,just like the political situation in Dominica, both parties need to really take a course in POLITICS. HIT ME.
Face the facts.
And you know as contained in the Old Testament: "…If My people who are called by My Name humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways I will heal their land…"
This is the only condition that the land will be healed and crimes will be eradicated.
As long as there are those who refuse to worship God and if others become humble in their words (as on this Website) and perform good deeds in Jesus Name, there will be no healing for Dominica or any other land. That is the truth of the matter which Christians should know very well.

These cheese straws are pretty heroic: rich, crispy, and totally cheesy. Think turbocharged Cheez-Its. They're the perfect thing to bring along to a dessert-centric after-dinner birthday party like the one Mr. T and I are off to this evening. I've found with years of throwing parties of all sorts of permutations that even the sweetest occasion needs some savor. These play well with drinks of any variety, are compulsively munchable, and will provide a welcome salty contrast to things like birthday cake.
The original recipe, from The New York Times' Kim Severson, calls for orange cheddar, and I'm sure they make for an excellent cheese straw. However. I am both enough of a snob to look slightly askance at orange cheddar and enough in the thrall of Julia Child to know that Gruyère can make anything better. As for the Parmesan, well… because Parmesan! Honestly. Along with a more varied slate of cheeses, I also bumped up the supporting cast of spices, all of which add focus and depth to the different strands of cheese flavor.
The dough is simple and short and comes together quickly. The critical issue here is temperature. The original calls for either extruding the straws with a cookie press or rolling them by hand. The former is fine, IF you've got a cookie press, but the latter seems to me a recipe for melty frustration and sticky disaster. Thus, we borrow a temperature management technique from the perfect sugar cookie recipe and pop the rolled dough into the freezer for a few minutes.
This makes all the difference in the world and enables the production of long, slender wands of cheesy deliciousness that won't put the baker completely round the bend trying to get them onto baking sheets.
Cheese Straws
Adapted from Kim Severson, NYT
Yield: ~4 dozen straws
3 oz Gruyère cheese
3 oz sharp white cheddar cheese
2 oz Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp Kosher salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
4 oz (1 stick) butter, softened
Grate the cheeses and set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt, and seasonings. Process briefly to combined. Add the cheese and softened butter. Process, pausing every so often to scrape down the bowl, about 3 minutes. The dough will darken in color slightly and stick together in clumps when pinched.
Empty the dough onto a clean work surface and knead briefly to bring it together. Divide into two pieces. Shape into flattish rectangles about 3×5″ and place each piece between two sheets of plastic wrap. Roll out to a uniform 1/4″ thickness, keeping the edges even and compact with a bench scraper or metal spatula, patching if necessary to make even rectangles.
Turn the oven on and set to 375°.
Carefully transfer the wrapped and rolled dough to the freezer to chill for about 10 minutes. Line two sheet pans with parchment and set aside. When the dough is stiff but not frozen solid (potters would know this state as "leather-hard"), remove them from the freezer and using a long, sharp knife, cut into thin strips. Carefully transfer the strips to the lined sheet pans, leaving about 1/2″ between them.
If the dough cracks when cut, leave it sit for a minute or so on the counter to soften. Broken straws can be gently smushed back together. If the straws get too soft to transfer to the pans easily, return them to the freezer to firm up.
Bake 14-16 minutes, until firm, fragrant, and just starting to brown on the edges. Remove pans from the oven and let cool 5 minutes before transferring straws to a rack to cool completely.
They are very delicate, so handle carefully when wrapping up once they're cool. To serve, they look best upright in a glass, but proceed carefully when placing them.

Cross Vegas and InterBike...digital celluloid
Finally back home and dove directly back into work today. Chaotic...much like Cross Vegas itself. I am inexplicably sore still...but not so much the legs...but my lower groin where I pulled something during the warm up on the very first lap when Boups and I first got there. It 'popped' and hurt, but I raced on that it anyways. Paying for it now. I'm on the fence for racing tomorrow....
Anyways, I put together a quick collage of things I saw/experienced in 'Vegas. I had camera issues (mainly I forgot it!) so used Boups' camera to capture some stuff. Enjoy....
Cross Vegas Run up lap 1 from Gregory Keller on Vimeo.
The Vimeo vid above is of Lap 1. Pandemonium! Just feel the energy when Page comes around the corner before the barriers. I got pins and needs every time I came through. People GOING OFF! Money being handed out, hands in the air. Noise like you wouldn't believe. And the cowbells. Oh yes, the cowbells.
Cross Vegas 2008 from Gregory Keller on Vimeo.
This next vid above is Lap 2, folks. You can see the wreckage in the field already. I come in hot at the very end of this clip after I tried to bridge back to the group due to crashes, etc. When I bomb down this hill on the next lap, I washed out right at the turn to the right where the riders disappear behind the crowd and the grass got super slick. Had to straighten out my bars off the bike for like 30 seconds or more.
My main Man Lance! This is the gentleman behind my lust for TRP brakes. He and his son were working the booth like champs....touting the virtues of their cherry carbon and magnesium stoppers to all who came by! Simply, the world's best brakes! Thanks for all your support Lance!
Ergon! I FINALLY met up with my boy Jeff Kerkove (right) at the Ergon booth. Such rad equipment they have. I am LUSTING the to-be-released white sex ergonomic grips. Yum. To his left is Butch Peterson of SuperHumanMag.com. Check out his videos of the Leadville and CrossVegas!
I saw this anonymous bike at the Shimano booth displaying 7900...and behold! It was a custom Sycip!
Finally...the SRAM booth! I met up with many of the crew here and at the race venue and thanked them for all their GREAT support to me and my aging carcass. The bits are the REAL DEAL. In love with the feel of SRAM Red (and Force) now. I've definitively made the leap.
Lastly, I want to give a SHOUT OUT to my fellow cycl-bloggers!! I met all the homies that have been representing in their respective regions and blogging about it for some time now!

Miller Mennonite Church (Pendleton County, West Virginia, USA)
Miller Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church), now extinct, was located on the North Fork in Union Magisterial District, Pendleton County, West Virginia, two miles below (north) the mouth of the Seneca. Samuel and Sara Miller gave the land here for a church which was to be used by "all orthodox denominations." This was the first church built in West Virginia under the auspices of the Mennonites of the Middle District of the Virginia Conference. The Brethren Church became active in the area and the Mennonites lost out. There was more promising work elsewhere in the West Virginia field for the Mennonites. The church was moved to Roaring Creek in 1913.
