The principal objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a widely used complementary medicine intervention, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), in which mindfulness meditation and yoga are the principal components in the treatment of a chronic, often fatal illness that affects tens of millions of Americans. The investigators propose to conduct a single center randomized controlled trial in which 150 patients will be assigned to either a mindfulness meditation condition, a disease education control condition, or a stress-monitoring usual care control condition. They will test the following specific hypotheses:
- In comparison to either of the control conditions, significantly more coronary artery disease (CAD) patients in the mindfulness meditation condition will demonstrate reductions in mental stress-induced ischemia.
- The ratio of low-to-high frequency of spectral power in heart rate variability during ambulatory monitoring will be significantly decreased following the participation in a stress reduction program compared with those in a disease education or usual care condition.
- Patients in the mindfulness meditation condition will report greater improvement in quality of life (i.e., reductions in general psychological symptomology, anger, anxiety, depression, and daily stress, along with increases in optimism and stress coping efficacy) than patients in either of the control conditions.
- Day-to-day variability in self-reported mental stress will be inversely related to day-to-day stress coping efficacy in the entire sample and time spent in mindfulness practice in the active treatment condition, and these relationships will be maintained over a 3-month follow-up.
Patients with CAD and mental stress ischemia who show an *abnormal peripheral artery response during baseline studies will show a significant improvement after mindfulness intervention.
- Abnormal responses will be defined as peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) tracings that decrease greater than 20% in amplitude during mental stress.

Acute and chronic psychological stress has been shown to be a risk factor for cardiac events. More recently with the advent of new technology allowing cardiac imaging, acute psychological stressors have been shown to produce myocardial ischemia in certain subsets of patients with CAD. Several studies have shown that the production of myocardial ischemia in response to acute psychological stress in the laboratory is a marker for adverse events in patients with CAD. Several pathways by which psychologically induced stress may trigger ischemic events have been proposed, and a number of studies have provided evidence that stress affects ischemic events via these pathways. Stress interventions have been shown to have a positive impact on CAD outcomes, with only one thus far testing their effects on ischemic events. Furthermore, some studies have reported positive results with coronary risk factors using meditation and yoga. Current clinical meditation literature suggests that a mindfulness meditation-based stress reduction program (i.e., multicomponent, psychoeducational program based in mindfulness meditation that cultivates an ability to pay attention to one's moment-to-moment experiences in a nonjudgmental, nonreactive fashion) will be able to reduce stress reactivity in CAD patients. It is predicted that such reductions in stress reactivity will result in reduced radionuclide imaged perfusion defects during a laboratory mental stress task. Although it has not been used with heart patients, it has demonstrated good results with both stress and symptomology in the general and other medical populations. We believe that similar results will be seen in CAD patients with effects acting through the following pathways: 1) decreased sympathetic tone and 2) increased parasympathetic tone. The overall goal of the proposed study is to evaluate the efficacy of a meditation-based stress reduction program for the reduction of mental stress-induced ischemia.
To test the efficacy of MBSR, patients will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. The MBSR condition will be provided training in mindfulness meditation methods. The patient education control group will be provided information about CAD in a didactic format. This condition will control for the nonspecific effects of contact in a therapeutic setting. Excluding intervals spent in personal meditation practice in the mindfulness meditation condition, the length of sessions in the two intervention conditions will be approximately equal. The third group, a stress-monitoring usual care control condition, will control for the effects of symptom measurement reactivity in patients receiving routine medical care.

'A beauty, extraordinary in every way.'
 Naomi Klein, author of 'The Shock Doctrine' and 'No Logo'.

Many outside South Africa imagine that after Mandela was freed and the ANC won free elections all was well. But the last two decades have led to increased poverty and inequality. Although a few black South Africans have become wealthy, for many the struggle against apartheid never ended because the ethos of apartheid continues to live.

Early in 2007 hundreds of families living in shacks in Cape Town were moved into houses they had been waiting for since the end of apartheid. But soon they were told that the move had been illegal and they were kicked out of their new homes. They built shacks next to the road opposite the housing project and hundreds organised themselves into the Symphony Way Anti-Eviction Campaign, vowing to stay on the road until the government gave them permanent housing.

This anthology is both testimony and poetry. There are stories of justice miscarried, of violence domestic and public, of bigotry and xenophobia. But amid the horror there is beauty: relationships between aunties, husbands, wives and children; daughters named Hope and Symphony. This book is a means to dignity, a way for the poor to reflect and be reflected. It is testimony that there's thinking in the shacks, that there are humans who dialogue, theorise and fight to bring about change.

Two Symphony Way evictees were featured in a Guardian article of 1 April 2010:

 Badronessa Morris: 'The police treat us like animals. They swear at us, pepper spray us, search us in public, even children. At 10 o'clock you must be inside: the police come and tell you to go into your place and turn down the music. In my old home we used to sit outside all night with the fire.'

 Jane Roberts: 'It's a dumping place. They took people from the streets because they don't want them in the city for the World Cup. Now we are living in a concentration camp.'

 In today's world, in which markets supposedly think and reason but people are not supposed to, this book presents extraordinary and crucially important pieces of democratic writing. This is an extraordinary book because it shows how ordinary people are capable of extraordinary feats under certain conditions and how they are forced to constantly struggle in order to affirm their humanity under the rule of a state while that supposed democratic state actively denies their humanity. The books is also very important because it is not only a testimony to those feats, but because it sketches the various dimensions of the thinking involved in a process of subjectivation, whereby a collective subject of politics is produced through people's ability to commit to principles and to discuss collectively how to overcome their difficulties in order to begin to exercise a modicum of control over the socio-political world which surrounds them. It is absolutely clear from these writings that poor people in particular are not provided with freedom by a democratic state but, on the contrary, have to constantly assert their dignity in conditions in which the state constantly undermines their freedom.
 This text details very precisely, and in people's own words (including linguistic idiosyncrasies, colourful slang, etc.), how a small community survived for almost two years in pavement shacks in Delft, a township of Cape Town, after having been evicted by the police from partly-completed unoccupied houses which they had been more than encouraged to occupy by the (illegal as it turned out) opportunistic actions of an unscrupulous politician. Having been evicted from these houses, hundreds of people decided to occupy the pavements on both sides of a nearby street in protest at the state's failure to provide them with decent housing. Around 500 families joined the initial occupation and 136 held out until the end against police intimidation, promises of food, electricity and, for some, eventual access to houses, if they agreed to move to a horrific concentration camp-like site built six months into their occupation. This camp, known as a 'Temporary Relocation Area (TRA)' by the state and, as 'Blikkiesdorp' [tin can town] by its inhabitants, has since become an internationally recognized scandal.
 The 'housing question' is evidently a major political issue in South Africa where the state – particularly in its local manifestation – insists on avoiding discussion with poor people's own organizations and continues to ignore them and, when they insist on being heard, to treat them like an enemy, much as they had been under apartheid. The complete inability of this state to involve people themselves in the construction and allocation of housing along with its insistence on authoritarian bureaucratic practices (e.g. dumping people in crime-ridden TRAs which end up being permanent rather than temporary) and public–private partnerships (where the construction business makes large profits at the expense of the taxpayer and corruption is rife) has had grave socio-economic and political consequences throughout the country. Socially it has contributed to the rise in poverty levels, whereas politically it has led to widespread protests. While these protests have been termed 'service delivery protests' by the press, they must be understood as concerning more political questions such as the systemic ways in which the state ignores people and treats them with bureaucratic contempt rather than merely being about technical issues of provisioning.
 The book then recounts, in people's own words and through their children's brilliant photographic 'eyes' (some of the photos in the book were taken by the children), how they survived on the Symphony Way pavement for just under two years (2008–2009) and how they developed a 'sense of community', exposed state corruption and organized themselves collectively against attempts to remove them. Of course, the looming football World Cup meant that state municipal power wanted to ensure that unseemly 'informal' structures were tidied out of sight even though this required systematically smashing popular collective power rather than negotiating a common solution to the housing crisis. By July 2011, what was left of the (now forcibly removed) 'Symphony Way Anti-Eviction Campaign' wrote an open letter to the Cape Town municipal authorities telling them that, in the morning of 28 July, Blikkiesdorp exploded into a full-scale drug war and that they had warned the authorities of the likelihood of this occurrence. In fact, this had been one of the reasons why they had resisted their eviction in the first place. The shacks they built themselves, they cried in dismay, 'were better than the shacks that our city has built and dumped us in'.1 They were absolutely clear regarding the reasons for this massive insecurity in their lives: 'We, as residents of this camp, have no control here because the City has disempowered us and stood by while drug-dealers have invaded the "temporary" relocation area'. The people then were disempowered by the democratic state and turned into victims of violence.
 How are we to understand this process? In particular, how are we to think the formation of a political subject and its consequent de-politicization within democratic conditions? This book provides us with an account of one example of this commonplace process. Throughout the book it is clear that people are not only capable of thinking their own predicament and ways to organize against it themselves, but also that, in doing so, their political subjectivity develops as they confront and solve problems collectively. In other words, it may be that these people are poor, but they are also capable of thought, often beyond what middle-class leftists are capable of imagining given that they are frequently wedded to sterile vanguardist conceptions of the political that place their own agency centre stage. In many cases this kind of politics has been grossly racialized.
 The core feature of this process of subjectivation was the collective forging of a tenacious solidarity which was maintained in the face of an increasingly brutal and intolerant state which insists on treating the poorest of its citizens as if they were the enemy, not people who had provided the majority of the active citizens that overthrew the apartheid regime during the 1980s. In the absence of any fundamental democratization of its structures, politics and practices, the liberal-democratic state then acts as any state, irrespective of how it may name itself and irrespective of who fills its positions. In this case the state is apparently very much operating like a colonial state simply because it chooses to see people (the majority of its population who are overwhelmingly poor) as its enemy as soon as they insist on being treated like citizens. It then becomes apparent to people that, not only is freedom not simply 'deliverable' by the state – either alone or in alliance with markets – but, rather, that freedom implies some ability to control individually and collectively one's conditions of life. Of course, the possession of a home (not simply a house as such) is a sine qua non of freedom and humanity; but that home is only partly about the building and much more about the construction of community through solidarity and mutual help. That this is central to the poor's ability to affirm their humanity has been known by the discipline of Sociology for many years, yet the individualism and commercialism which have recently become intellectually dominant has hidden it from view and even from the thought of politics. Home, then, can be on a pavement but definitely not in the tin shacks of the TRA for the simple reason that, in the former, people have a certain amount of control and in the latter none. States seem totally unable to understand this simple fact for they feel threatened by the majority being able to contest their power, which is precisely what the control over their lives unavoidably produces. In order to rule, the state must rely on orders, commands, coercion and de-politicization so as to turn people into political zombies. This is precisely how the people who had occupied Symphony Way were finally removed to Blikkiesdorp.
 The fact that previously de-humanized people acquired individual and collective confidence through their subjectivation is a leit motif of the book. The pride and dignity acquired in this fashion fills all its pages. Precisely because they had been treated with contempt by power, the reacquiring of their dignity was a major achievement of the pavement-dwellers' organization. The fact that they could stand up to state power, even at the expense of imprisonment for some, that they chose their own leaders to represent them, that they helped each other in times of need, that they overcame gender, ethnic and religious divisions in the process of constructing their political community, all prove without any doubt whatsoever that poor not-so-ordinary people are capable of extremely sophisticated forms of thought. Empowerment, then, is not something to be learnt from a non-governmental organization. It is only through the ups and downs of collective action that a political subject can be created. That this process necessarily required constant discussions and meetings, defensive actions against state forces hell-bent on its destruction (as well as against the internal undermining of that solidarity by some individuals) could be said to have the status of a general law of subjectivation. The demos only have one weapon, which is organization, so that democracy, in the real sense of the term, comes alive and acquires its full significance only under such conditions. To reduce democracy to the vote is thus to fail to understand its profound meaning. This book must be read in order to understand what that term really implies and why the acquiring of political subjectivity is central to what it means to be human.

What is as important as 'the book' and its contents is how it was put together: By the dwellers themselves, the Symphony Way Pavement Dwellers. So witness this:

No Land! No House! No Vote! is a direct challenge to the publishing industry. We cannot humanise our world through a vanguard media. The right to a voice cannot be held only be elite academics, authors, and politicians; it is a right that must be claimed by the poor as well.

All power to the Symphony Way Pavement Dwellers and their struggles – not only for a place to live but for control over their voices and their knowledges; all power to all such movements, and all strength to them in articulating what they know; and all credit to Pambazuka Press for bringing out this important book. May you, and may many more publishing houses, bring out more such books, free of control over authors!

On 19 December 2007, encouraged by their Democratic Alliance (DA) councilor, backyarders in Delft illegally occupied unfinished houses in the N2 Gateway scheme. After battling in court, they were evicted on 19 February 2008. Many of them decided to remain across the road from the N2 Gateway houses, and built shacks along the pavement of Symphony Way. After a further 20 months of contestation these people were evicted again, to the nearby Blikkiesdorp Temporary Relocation Area (TRA).

This book relates stories of their experiences on Symphony Way, told by the people themselves, in their own words. The text was also edited by them. It is a remarkable and moving volume, charged with emotion and satiated with reasonableness. There is both poetry and prose. It is written for the outside world: "Put your shoes into my shoes and wear me like a human being would wear another human being" Conway Payn starts his story. It is a book which will make you cry, and laugh, and get frustratingly angry at the crassness of government. I wish I could bury the noses of Tokyo Sexwale and Bonginkosi Madikazela in its pages. Everyone should buy this book and read it.

We read of births and marriages on the pavement, of arrests and confrontations with police and cold government officials. One family describes how they occupied an N2 Gateway house after living in different backyards for 14 years - compelled to move on by close friends or relatives - and they were not the only ones. A 16 year-old girl describes her disgust at having to go to school with non-ironed clothes because of no electricity. Life on the pavement was tough but it was democratic and collective. One woman describes how her personality changed from introspective and fearful to outgoing as the result of her experiences on the pavement. What shines through is the persistence of their struggle, their self-confidence and pride as the result of the struggle. Constantly they insist on their human dignity, when treated like animals by officialdom. "We may be poor but we are not stupid" is a refrain that runs through the pages. And their desperate hope is encouraging and a sign of their collectivity - hope that they will get houses. Several children born on the pavement were named "Hope."

Let me conclude with an extract from a letter written by Bahiya Claasen to Richard Dyantyi, then Western Cape MEC for housing:

"I'm writing this letter on behalf of everyone who are staying on the pavement. Sir, we are so sick and tired of everybody who hords power in their hands, people who have deprived us of our rights. People who think they can throw us around and just walk over us. Mainly the people who sits on their high pedestals that thinks nother [nothing] of our poor Children, and they are the ones who suffer the most. Then I think to myself is this our New Generation? Or our Forgotten Generation?

"At night while your children enjoy a nice healthy meal, our children must eat sand in their food. While your children enjoy a nice hot bath we must wait for our water to boil on a fire. What I admire the most of our children is that they never complain. Our children think that life must be like this. And 1 think how wrong of you and everybody in Government to do this to our children. I'm writing this letter with tears in my eyes and a broken heart thinking what is going to happen to our NEW GENERATION Generation? Or should I say our FORGOTTON GENERATION?

"If Sir! You do not want to think of us! Then please please think of our children!!!

"Sir! My most concern is that winter is on its way. And like a lot of us, I am on the housing waiting list for more than 13 years..."

A short review cannot do justice to the book. Read it for yourselves - and learn.

The poor are not a particularly engaging lot, any more than you and I, and poverty of education is a fact that means the poor will be with us for a very long time. Thus, the publication this year of No Land, No House, No Vote is impressive. It is not a political exercise (though, what is not politics in South Africa?) but the stories of the Symphony Way pavement dwellers told by themselves.

A number of conditions were presented by the pavement dwellers to the publisher: no one's story was to be refused, despite repetitiveness; there was to be minimal editing, despite peculiarities and, sometimes, obscurity of language; and the proceeds of the book were to go to `the community' as a whole.</p> <p>One by one members of the community rose to speak at one of the launches of the book in Cape Town, on 5 May 2011:</p> <p>`We want you to live with us and be part of people who live in shacks.'
 `We not stupid, we people of principles, we can speak on our own behalfs ... it was our social problems that put us where we are now.' <br /> `We need to stand up against our government, not left to be rotten ...'
 `There is a time for bad things, there is a time for good things.'

It was clear at the launch - where the well-heeled brushed shoulders with the less well-heeled in a warm and well-lit room - that, as one speaker put it, `in this country we have two countries'. Despite the lack of structured speaking, salient dates emerged and some statistics - with a backlog of 400 000 houses in the Western Cape alone, none of the community members present was likely to be getting a house in the near future. Some people had already been waiting over 26 years. It was claimed that only 2 percent of the national budget is allocated to housing whereas in other countries it is closer to 5 percent.

That the divide in the country is not a racial issue needed to be said and was, in fact, debated in terms that led all the way back to Van Riebeeck and other white `visitors'. One of the most passionate speakers at the launch claimed that you could `count the coloured people [in the New Gateway houses adjacent to Symphony Way] on the fingers of one hand'. This aspect of the story, which is told in detail in the book, relates to the origin of the pavement dwellers' occupation of Symphony Way.

A DA councillor (unnamed at the launch but very much a presence in the book) invited backyard dwellers from Delft to occupy newly built Gateway houses adjacent to Symphony Way, which were being re-allocated to the largely black former occupants of the burned down shacks of Cape Town's Joe Slovo settlement. He made it a racial issue and had said something like: `If you want houses, go and kick doors.'

Many people did just that. The law was quick to come down on them and, despite an initial stay of eviction, removed them with brutal force from these houses on 19 February 2008. It is a story that can, and did, bring tears to one's eyes. In this and subsequent developments, no political party is exempt from guilt. ANC as well as DA councillors and other executives are equally involved.

The people's solution, as witnessed by the title of the book, is not to vote and, further, to spoil ballots. A march on parliament took place on 16 May, when another book launch was held in Cape Town.

Ultimately, the people who blockaded a stretch of Symphony Way for a year and a half - the longest civic protest in the history of the country - are intent on telling their story. And on telling it themselves. Their blockade ended in mid 2009, prior to the World Cup, when they were forced to move to Blikkiesdorp, one of Cape Town's infamous TRAs (Temporary Relocation Areas).
 Among the ironies that emerge from their book is that they managed to form a community at Symphony Way that should serve as a model in the current housing crisis in this country. `We staying like a family on that road,' one of the members said, `and after that people decided to tell their stories.' When one of the community was arrested and spent three months in prison for standing up to aggressive law enforcement, he said that all he could think of in prison was Symphony Way. And he was sure that he was being thought of by all in Symphony Way.

Blikkiesdorp is not a community. It is described by the pavement dwellers as `for pigs', a place where rapists live around the corner and drug dealing is rife. In appearance it is like a concentration camp and facilities are poor, with four families to one toilet and tin walls that let in both heat and cold.

No Land, No House, No Vote is the story of the poor, a book all South Africans should read. It has two well-written introductions: one by internationally known writer and activist Raj Patel, author of the New York Times best-seller The Value of Nothing, and the other by Miloon Kothari, former Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, UN Human Rights Council. That it was successfully assembled and has found its way into the public arena is not least the work of a middle-class activist who prefers to be unnamed. Without people like him, the poor would have even less of a voice.

The publisher also deserves credit. Pambazuka Press ([...]) is a small non-profit Pan African publisher, with offices in Cape Town, Oxford, Dakar and Nairobi. Its books are written primarily by well-known African academics and activists and are intended `to stimulate discussion, analysis and engagement'. The heartbreak of many of the Symphony Way stories and the style of their authorship carries this mission even further.
 Jeanne Hromnik Cape Argus, Cape Town 20110525 08
"A beautiful and heart-rending book that speaks a story so often undocumented. Hopefully it will be inspiring to other such ventures as well as those from Symphony Way. The photographs are brilliant and the stories a concrete and visceral expression of solidarity and humanity."
 Nigel Gibson, Emerson College, Boston; Editor, Journal of Asian and African Studies and author of Fanonian Practices: From Biko to Abahlali baseMjondolo.

"The Symphony Way pavement dwellers are the voices of struggle from below – of the landless, homeless and shelterless. The book is a compelling testimony to the ingenuity of the people to organise themselves and invent ever-newer forms of struggle. In their summation of 'No land! No home! No vote!' the pavement dwellers are denying what is an oppressive state, despite its democratic pretensions, the means to legitimise itself – the vote.
 Issa Shivji, Mwalimu Nyerere Professor of Pan African Studies, University of Dar es Salaam

 "I put the telephone off and went to the local park to read the manuscript this afternoon. It was an extraordinary experience. This book really does capture something of the texture of an actually existing popular struggle."
 Richard Pithouse, Department of Politics and International Studies, Rhodes University, South Africa

 "The Symphony Way occupation was a real attempt at an insurgent and tenacious solidarity against increasingly exclusionary and brutal society. It was an experiment at the outer limits of the often innovative and courageous grassroots militancies that have emerged in South Africa in recent years. This book is an experiment at the outer limits of radical publishing. It gives invaluable and often moving insight into the lived experience of the occupation. All the tenacity, beauty, pain, desperation and contradictions that breathe their life into any popular struggle haunt the pages of this searing book that must, if we are to do it justice, inspire rebellion against the social logic that dismisses some of us as less than others."
 Richard Pithouse, Department of Politics and International Studies, Rhodes University, South Africa

 "There are moments of excitement when one recognises transformational action is already ongoing and moments of recognition that new ways of knowing are being produced. This is one of those moments. An extraordinary collection of writings from the spirit of resilience and strength of the collective which lay bare the betrayal of the people in post-apartheid South Africa."
 Sokari Ekine, author and award-winning blogger

 "This book carries not only the suffering of the Symphony Way communities but of the millions of poor people of the world. I, in my capacity as a leader of South Africa's Abahlali baseMjondolo Movement, commend this work of political empowerment of the poor by the poor. We all know that when the poor gain their power through mass mobilisation, it is often violently resisted by elites and that any social progress will be hard won and at considerable personal cost. It is through this courage that we can all hope for the real struggle that intends to put human beings at the centre of our society."
 S'bu Zikode, a leader of the Abahlali baseMjondolo Movement, South Africa

 "A magnificent and moving account of a long and hard fought struggle over not simply the space of the pavement and for social justice in the post-apartheid city No Land, No House, No Vote is a clarion call for basic of human rights and for human dignity. A powerful insider's view into the landscape of poverty in neoliberal South Africa."
 Professor Michael Watts, Class of 63 Professor of Geography and Development Studies at the University of California at Berkeley, author of Curse of the Black Gold.

 "Voices from Symphony Way evinces a world-weary longing that stretches back through the history of class struggle and should evoke a storm of protest worldwide. These powerful and poignant testimonies that have emerged from the blockade of Symphony Way are voices ensepulchered by the South African state yet they refuse to be silenced, voices that are struggling against great odds for a future of human dignity, voices that cannot be stopped by razor wire or police vans, or choked into submission by pepper spray or batons. In attempting to sweep away the detritus of apartheid, the South African government is merely echoing the brutality of its former colonisers. This is a story of horror conjugated with hope, compellingly told with a brutal directness and an eloquence that often springs up from the abysms of despair."
 Professor Peter McLaren, University of California, Los Angeles, author of Che Guevara, Paulo Freire, and the Pedagogy of Revolution

It is hard to be heard above the din of mainstream debate in contemporary South Africa, with its heavy doses of elite squabbling, white middle class angst, and celebrations of consumerism. But of course the reality is that the majority of the people in the country of my birth live on a planet far removed from the one reflected in most of our public discourse, a planet where they struggle to maintain even very basic lives. This book – unmediated, raw, written in the voices of ordinary, marginal people rebuilding communities and reclaiming democracy in small ways – points to the hard, cold struggle South Africans still face to achieve full citizenship in their own country."
 Sean Jacobs, born on the Cape Flats, teaches international affairs at The New School in Manhattan

 "To read this book is to be humbled by the crassness of our presumption as middle-class African journalists and activists to know the best interests of those deliberately excluded from 'Mandela's Miracle', the poorest amongst us. We thought we were telling their tale of painful transition fairly, but here we are surpassed, and now the people themselves speak truth to power – including our own. In this, the world's most unequal society, it is a direct, revolutionary challenge to hear the voices of the poor on their own terms – not mangled by the way we would prefer them to speak, but unfiltered. Their truths, spoken with their hearts on their sleeves and in their sharp vernacular tongue, fly straight to the heart of the matter: the betrayal of hope by the shadowy forces behind a false dawn of 'liberation'; and the transcending belief in the popular classes' common destiny as the lever that can – and will – shift the burden of our history to create a more equal society."
 Michael Schmidt, journalist and co-author of Black Flame: the Revolutionary Class Politics of Anarchism and Syndicalism
 23 01 http://www.indiegogo.com/SA-Pavement-Dwellers-Book-Tour 23 01 http://twitter.com/antieviction 23 01 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apKHUXyZ_kE 23 01 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qprLWofxpo&feature=player_embedded 23 01 http://vimeo.com/9214594 25 Many outside South Africa imagine that after Mandela was freed and the ANC won free elections all was well. But the last two decades have led to increased poverty and inequality. Although a few black South Africans have become wealthy, for many the struggle against apartheid never ended because the ethos of apartheid continues to live.
 Early in 2007 hundreds of families living in shacks in Cape Town were moved into houses they had been waiting for since the end of apartheid. But soon they were told that the move had been illegal and they were kicked out of their new homes. They built shacks next to the road opposite the housing project and hundreds organised themselves into the Symphony Way Anti-Eviction Campaign, vowing to stay on the road until the government gave them permanent housing.
 This anthology is both testimony and poetry. There are stories of justice miscarried, of violence domestic and public, of bigotry and xenophobia. But amid the horror there is beauty: relationships between aunties, husbands, wives and children; daughters named Hope and Symphony. This book is a means to dignity, a way for the poor to reflect and be reflected. It is testimony that there's thinking in the shacks, that there are humans who dialogue, theorise and fight to bring about change. 07 03 01 http://fahamubooks.org/resources/titles/90638100888310/images/68d30a9594728bc39aa24be94b319d21/THUMBNAIL/9781906387846.jpg 20150811 35 01 http://youtu.be/SFjhf0ft6hc 23 01 http://fahamubooks.org/resources/titles/90638100888310/extras/Vicky-Anderson.jpg 23 01 http://fahamubooks.org/resources/titles/90638100888310/extras/Badronessa-Morris.jpg 23 01 http://fahamubooks.org/resources/titles/90638100888310/extras/Anthea-and-Theodore-Williams-and-Family.jpg 23 01 http://fahamubooks.org/resources/titles/90638100888310/extras/family-Schultz.jpg 23 01 http://fahamubooks.org/resources/titles/90638100888310/extras/Louis-E-Claasen.jpg 23 01 http://fahamubooks.org/resources/titles/90638100888310/extras/Mathilda-Groepe.jpg 23 01 http://fahamubooks.org/resources/titles/90638100888310/extras/Mncedisi-Shaun-Plaatjies.jpg 02 http://fahamubooks.org/book/?GCOI=90638100888310 Fahamu Books 01 02 Dilicom FAHAMU Pambazuka Press 04 20110315 2011 01 WORLD 08 22.50 oz 08 638 gr 27 03 9780857490308 002 PDF Central Books 44 (0)845 458 9911 44(0)845 458 9912 firstname.lastname@example.com 33 www.centralbooks.com http://www.centralbooks.com 02 GB 20 02 02 02 HH1 02 16.95 GBP Z 0.00 16.95 0.00 Pambazuka Press 01 WORLD GB 20 01 02 02 HH1 02 16.95 GBP Z 0.00 16.95 0.00

One such interesting and useful service that we have covered before is CryptoTrader, though there are quite a few more out there as well, but before going into automated trading based on technical analysis and other information you would probably want to have a better understanding of the crypto markets in general.

Project Overview
Purpose of the General Plan
Carnegie SVRA is revising the General Plan to capture the vision of staff, visitors, and others to develop a document that will guide future park management. The revised document will reflect changes that have occurred since the previous General Plan was developed such as new recreation trends, increases in visitation, new wildlife conservation regulations and land purchases.
Carnegie SVRA was purchased with Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Trust Fund monies in 1979. State Parks then went through a planning process for the park and adopted the first General Plan in 1981.
In the last three decades many things have changed. One of the biggest changes is the acquisition of approximately 4,400 acres of land adjacent to the existing SVRA which includes residential parcels and the Alameda and Tesla properties. Other changes include evolving management needs, increasing demand for different types of OHV recreation, changing regulations, and new opportunities for education and interpretation.
Type of Planning Process
State Parks will use a variety of methods to gather input for the Carnegie General Plan. Because there have been so many changes since 1981, State Parks will begin a revision which allows for all aspects of the existing General Plan to be improved. State Parks will gather input from many sources to make sure the vision for the park is captured accurately and that the new General Plan addresses the broad range of current and future planning issues and opportunities.
Input to the General Plan
Throughout the planning process ideas from groups and individuals will be used to create a vision for Carnegie SVRA. New goals and guidelines will be set that address how the park will be used for recreation, determine priorities for maintenance, operations and the management of natural and cultural resources, as well as address a range of other planning topics.
Stakeholder input is vital to the planning process to ensure that the General Plan addresses land use planning and visitor needs for the long-term. Stakeholders include:
- current visitors and potential visitors
- off-highway vehicle groups, environmental groups, and recreation groups
- regulatory agencies
- neighbors and surrounding landowners
- other regional land management agencies
- park staff
The general plan process will provide many opportunities for stakeholder input, review and feedback. A variety of outreach methods such as fact sheets, this web site, public workshops, and surveys may be used. Three public workshops are planned during the development of the General Plan.
Environmental Review
California state law requires public agencies to analyze the potential environmental impacts of projects they undertake. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the revision of the Carnegie SVRA General Plan is considered a "project" undertaken by a public agency (State Parks) and therefore is subject to environmental review.
The CEQA document containing the environmental analysis is called an environmental impact report (EIR). State Parks will prepare a program EIR which is typical for long-range planning and policy documents like a general plan. The draft EIR will be circulated for public review and comment at the same time as the draft General Plan.
After the public review period for the draft General Plan and draft EIR is completed, State Parks will consider all comments, respond in writing to the comments received, and make necessary edits or changes to the General Plan. State Parks will then prepare the final General Plan and final EIR. The final documents will be presented to the OHMVR Commission for review and approval.

Hello all.
I used to know the address of a website that held masses of pictures and detailed enlargements of common articles that people used in medieval times. I could type in 'Basket' and it would pop up all these links to various pictures showing baskets of all types and styles. Type in 'Tent" and you get links to pictures of tents, etc.
Can anyone remember this website please?
Pictures website name?
Please post your thoughts, questions, bugs, etc here. I will post announcements here.

Unbelievable, outrageous, or ridiculous celebrity statements or moves worthy of this kind of reply.
Lights, Camera, Pretention!
Sometimes when I'm in mixed company and people ask what I do, I get some flack for being an entertainment writer. Usually it's from men, and it's always a bit of a condescending take: entertainment news is shallow, it's silly to like gossip, tabloids are for dumb people, it's dangerous to worship at the feet of celebrities etc. Full Story
Is James Franco corrupting art?
There's a new James Franco exhibit at Pace Gallery in New York. It's a big deal to be at Pace. Which, I suppose, means that your sh-t has to be good. Or at least that's what it used to mean. Franco's work is, he claims, an homage to Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills in which she shot herself in the stereotypical roles relegated to women – the more she produced, the louder her message: cinematically, women continue to be treated as second class citizens.

Aloof AND Self-possessed
There's a new Rooney Mara profile in the NYT Times magazine. She doesn't call herself aloof this time. No, she doesn't.

I promise you, I tried. Full Story
James Franco on a plane

Have you seen Spring Breakers yet? I put it on my iPad for my flight from Vancouver to Toronto the other day. Not really the best idea. Watching it on one of the plane's personal seat viewers is one thing.

Here's what I wrote in the intro to the site last Thursday: "...curiously enough, the prom king hasn't been seen with his kids since Sunday. Coincidence or conspiracy? Maybe he'll emerge on the weekend out of obligation, just so it won't seem so obvious. Full Story

I'm a celebrity realist, which means that for me, it's not so much about pretending away a celebrity's bad habit, but asking whether or not whatever peccadillo they've got is a deal breaker, or something that I'm going to be able to ignore for the sake of my crush.

I wonder if they tried wigging it at all. If they camera tested a few wigs and decided in the end that the wigs just weren't working before encouraging Annie to cut it all off. Or was it all Annie herself from the very beginning out of artistic commitment? No, let's not even bother trying the wig. I will do it! (hand in the air) I will sacrifice my hair for Fantine.

She was there last night to receive her honour. And she's on the current cover of the magazine being interviewed by Jane Fonda. Have you read the article yet? You may have read excerpts, but the full piece, it's amazing. Both are 3 times divorced. Both are... really, really, REALLY into themselves. Both spend a lot of time pretending to be into each other when they're actually just trying to bring the conversation back to "ME", the only word in their vocabulary. Full Story
Justin ... "Not"
That'll make sense for you in a minute. Let me set the scene: Last night, as we do when we're covering these festivals and conventions, we get together at the end of the night for some drinks before we hit the party. We compare stories – how was your day, who did you get, how was your interview, do you think you have enough b-roll? – and sometimes we agree and sometimes we disagree, and that's normal because you can't all get along with the same people and it's a great way to exchange information and compare observations.

Frequently Asked Candles and Candle Holders Questions
Candles and Candle Holders by Ashley Furniture HomeStore
Candles and beautiful candle holders are that cherry-on-top that can completely change the feel of a room. From flameless LED candles to a fashionable range of candle holders, Ashley Furniture HomeStore has an assortment of options that add warmth, coziness and charm to a space.
How Many Candles per Table Do You Need?
You can never have too many candles, but depending on the size and length of the table there are some elegant tips you can use. Let's say you have a long rectangular table that's 60 inches long; placing candles in three glass votive candle holders separates the table into three distinct parts that add interest. If you have a round dining room table, or prefer a centerpiece, place an odd number of candles in a variety of heights at the center to create a chic, effortless ambiance. Accent tables, on the other hand, don't have the space to accommodate a large centerpiece or decorative flourish. Instead, opt for a beautiful singular candle holder that showcases your style. Coffee tables have a more versatile shape that can hold a variety of candles. From large wooden candle holders to lanterns, you can create a pleasing ambiance that adds warmth to your living room.
Where To Add Candles?
From your walls to decorative trays to your ceiling to your kitchen dining room table, you can add candles as a homey touch to practically every corner of your home. Candle wall sconces add a unique flair that's reminiscent of Spanish-style haciendas. If that's not your style, mirrored wall candle holders magnify light to vividly brighten up your room — and don't worry about fire hazards, Ashley HomeStore offers a range of flameless LED candles so your walls don't get singed. If you have grand ceilings, hang up a variety of candle lanterns for a Moroccan and boho-inspired design in your entranceway. For more low-key ideas, add candle holders to your office desk area to create a meditative space or liven up an old bookshelf with a minimalistic, metal lantern set. If you want more helpful ideas like these, read this blog from our experts.
What Are The Candle Holder Sizes For Your Style?
Regardless of style, candle holders come in a variety of sizes so you're not limited to using a specific dimension. It is helpful to keep in mind the size of your candle and the candle holder itself. If you're using a large embellished wooden lantern, you should opt for a votive candle or a larger pillar candle for a long-lasting brightness, rather than using a tea light. Light-enhancing glass candle holders, on the other hand, can hold long, sleek taper candles that harken back to traditional design and interiors. Simply look at your candle holder and see what size is appropriate, but don't be afraid to mix and match different candle sizes with your holder — decor is all about experimentation and self-expression.

Xavier University gave him exactly what he asked for Saturday afternoon at Allen Arena. The Lady Bisons lost 25-21 in set one, but came back to win set two 25-17 and set three 25-16. But Xavier rallied in set four for a 25-23 win to push the match to five sets. The Lady Bisons prevailed 15-12.
"We were out to win," Rosenthal said. "I think you saw that after the first set. Set one was a little disappointing. I thought we were just going through the motions.
"But we responded well. We did a nice job in sets two, three, four and five even though we allowed Xavier to make a seven-point run to win set four. We lost focus in set four."
It was the second 3-2 match win in a row for the Lady Bisons and their eight match win in row this season. They have won 15 of their last 16 matches. This was also the 27th straight home win for the Lady Bisons dating back to the 2008 season.
Rosenthal wanted to play this match in an effort to put his players through a match that was more than just an exhibition game or a scrimmage. The Lady Bisons won the Atlantic Sun Tournament last weekend. Xavier lost in the finals of the Atlantic 10 Tournament to nationally-ranked Dayton.
"Having to play five sets to win the match was not what we wanted to do," Rosenthal said. "Even with only four days off there was a little bit of rust. We haven't missed so many serves in a long time. Our passing was also a little off."
Senior Alex Kelly led the way with a match-high 24 kills, which also tied her season high set vs. San Francisco Aug. 28. She also had 13 digs for a double-double, a match-high .465 hitting percentage and four blocks.
"Alex can change a game even without the numbers," Rosenthal said. "Getting 24 kills as a middle blocker is outstanding." Outside hitter Meghan Hinemeyer posted a double-double with 10 kills and 14 digs.
Outside hitter Kaycee Green added 12 kills. Middle blocker Katie Rose led the Lady Bisons in digs with 19. She barely missed a double-double with nine kills. She also had three service aces and five blocks.
Setter Stefine "Jake" Pease finished with 58 assists, a season high. She added nine digs, five kills and four blocks. Rosenthal would have liked to have seen Pease look more for right side Charlyn Ursell who was credited with eight kills, three blocks and a .438 hitting percentage.
"Kaycee and Meghan both did a great job," Rosenthal said. "I'm fine with that. But I would have liked to have seen Jake go to Char a little more.
"Katie did a tremendous job overall. With the exception of one error she did a nice job serving. She also did a nice job blocking."
Libero Stephanie Rex was credited with 12 digs and defensive specialist Caitlin "Dot" Dotson added 12.
Xavier was led by Shannon Voors with 16 kills. She also had 10 digs.
Stephanie Vorherr made a match-high 25 digs for Xavier.
The Lady Bisons are 24-6 overall. Xavier slipped to 20-10.
"This was a great match for our resume," Rosenthal said. "The Atlantic 10 is a tough conference."
Sunday afternoon at 1:30 fans and friends of the Lady Bisons are invited to a viewing party at the Shamblin Theater in the Bennett Center.

DUBOIS – A senior majoring in business at Penn State DuBois, Jordan Eisman of Brockway is the recipient of the 2014 Eric A. and Josephine S. Walker Award.
Across all of Penn State's University College campus locations, the Walker Award is considered one of the most prestigious honors. Eisman was recognized recently at both the Delta Mu Sigma Honors Convocation, as well as the Student Government Association banquet.
The purpose of the Walker Award is to recognize undergraduate students enrolled at the commonwealth locations whose outstanding qualities of character, scholarship, leadership and citizenship have been directed into programs and services that have positively influenced fellow students and have contributed to the prestige and well-being of their campus, and thereby to the reputation of the entire university.
In particular, Eisman received the award for her outstanding level of service to the community and the campus during her time as a student at Penn State DuBois. She spent time volunteering in numerous capacities to help better the lives of people in DuBois, and in communities as far away as Washington, D.C.
Eisman has been involved in Student Government, THON, the Service Above Self Club, the Campus Activities Board, New Student Orientation and Relay for Life. She has participated in activities such as blood drives, organizing benefit dinners, benefit shows, food drives and nursing home visits. She has taken part in community service projects, and traveled to Washington, D.C. on a spring break trip where she volunteered in soup kitchens to help the homeless.
Penn State DuBois Chancellor Melanie Hatch presented Eisman with the Walker Award at the Delta Mu Sigma Honors Convocation. Hatch said, "Through Jordan's self-discovery and education here at Penn State DuBois, she has learned to push herself beyond her comfort zone.
"Her transformation into the involved community and campus leader that she is came about because Jordan took advantage of every opportunity that was presented to her. The criteria of the Walker Award are character, scholarship, leadership and citizenship. I give my congratulations to Jordan, as she exemplifies the best of these qualities."
Louise Whyte, the campus student life assistant, nominated Eisman for the Walker Award. Whyte said, "Nothing sums up Jordan's character more than her selflessness and dedication for helping others while still being a diligent, focused student working on her bachelor of science in business, who has been on the Dean's List almost every semester.
"Jordan has gone above and beyond as a student leader at Penn State DuBois. Throughout her college career she has balanced her extracurricular and academic responsibilities excellently, and has made a lasting impression not only on me, but on many other individuals at the university."
Eisman remained humble in the spotlight. She said, "I think it's important to be involved in service and give back for many reasons. I personally volunteer because I think it is the right thing to do, and it makes me feel good knowing I was able to help someone. It is also your civic responsibility to help your community.
"I am inspired to help others because I know that I need help sometimes, too. You never know when a situation may come up that requires the help of others. I am a firm believer in paying it forward.
"Winning this award has left me speechless. I am so grateful and humbled by receiving this award. I work hard in school, do community service, and stay involved in clubs because that is what I love doing."

thenatural brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 302 Designs von 75 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
The Natural
We have revised our design brief and invite you to submitnew design concepts in line with the feedback below.
We do not feel we have the right logo 'fit' for our brand yet and believe thisis because we provided an initial brief that was too constrictive. We hope thatwhat follows will provide you with sufficient background information and alsogreater scope for you to use your creative liscence as designers.
About our business:
The Natural is a specialist lifestyle consultancy based in Melbourne and Londonthat offers its clients personally tailored strategies, practical techniquesand social coaching to improve their success with women and enhance theirentire social life.
About our market:
• Our clients come from all walks of life and stages ofdevelopment—from men who have little experience with women and need help withthe basic nuts and bolts of social interaction—through to men who have noproblem attracting women but may be wanting to consolidate and further developtheir skills. Our highly experienced and dedicated coaches work one-on-one witheach client, taking into consideration their strengths and weaknesses todevelop a program that is uniquely tailored to their needs.
About our logo:
• Brand values that we would ideally like to see captured inthe logo could include: charm, confidence, roguish/rakish style, personaltransformation/alchemy, strength and a timeless appeal.
• While we want our brand to appeal to a broad base of men,we want a logo that conveys sophistication and quality, without appearing tooglamorous or restricting ourselves to a niche, high-end market only. Withoutwanting to be prescriptive, we invite you to consider some luxury brand logosat http://www.lvmh.com for ideas.
• We prefer connotations of flamboyance, courage andrefinement rather than a youthful, cutting-edge feel.
• A detail or graphic can appear alongside our business nameif it highlights the above values and conveys a sense of class. Please note weprefer silhouettes are not used in our rebranded logo.
• We are open to our business name appearing in uppercase,sentence case or all lowercase.
• While a monochrome logo has to date reflected the nature ofour business, we are very interested in the use of colour to convey that thisis a fresh rebranding.
• The elements that are already successful in our existinglogo are its elegance, simplicity and mystique. Whilst maintaining this effectwe want to change the silhouette of the woman because we feel it may put acrossthe wrong impression about our business and also does not convey the breadth ofour business services.
• Our customers have a real, ongoing relationship with us. Wedon't want our logo to be just a quick attention-getter. It needs to stand thetest of time and become synonomous with quality, style and innovation.
• We would like a logo that differentiates our business fromthe logos of our competitors. You can view logo designs from some of ourcompetitors at the following websites:
• The logo will be used on our website, letterhead, businesscards, e-books, DVDs and PowerPoints. We welcome you to present your designconcepts not only as a standalone logo but also in the layout of a businesscard, website, etc so we can see how the logo works in context with othercollateral.
- A logo that captures the brand values above
- elegant and simple
- a customized font
- old-world charm with a slick edge
- show elegance and creativity
- blend of blend tradition and innovation
- do not use Edwardian script or any other standardfonts

Emily Badger
Emily Badger is a former staff writer at CityLab. Her work has previously appeared in Pacific Standard, GOOD, The Christian Science Monitor, and The New York Times. She lives in the Washington, D.C. area.
There are 5,393 carceral facilities in the United States, places where people are held in local jails, state prisons, federal corrections facilities, immigration detention centers – "anywhere where an individual can be sort of confined and locked up," explains Josh Begley, "and, in some of the bigger instances, warehoused in one place."
Begley is a master's student in the Interactive Telecommunications program at New York University. He wanted to graphically represent what all of this means, to communicate not just the sheer quantity of prisons in America (a number that has been booming for decades), but their volume on our landscape. As part of a class project, he created the oddly beautiful website Prison Map, which offers a mashed-up birds-eye view of all of these places, taken from Google Satellite images.
"A lot of times we'll just use numbers to talk about this idea of mass incarceration," Begley says, "and I thought that there maybe was something powerful about using no numbers, no words and just having the images."
One group in particular, the Prison Policy Initiative, and its project Prisoners of the Census, has done much of the work of cataloging all of these facilities and their geographic locations. By translating that data into an almost artistic rendering, Begley's project makes visible an element of our communities that's seldom seen. Some of the most striking images are those of rural prisons, which project intricate patterns onto otherwise empty landscapes.
These rural prisons often house urban prisoners, in the process transforming both the communities where these facilities are located and the neighborhoods from which their inmates came. This population shift has serious consequences for urban, often minority communities, in part because the Census has long counted prisoners where they're locked up, not where they're from, costing inner-city communities resources and political capital (this practice, often called "prison-based gerrymandering," began to gain greater attention during the 2010 Census).
Begley's images capture the massive scale of this entire industry and the land that we devote to it (America has less than 5 percent of the world's population but houses a quarter of the world's prisoners). His website, in fact, includes only about 14 percent of all of the prisons he's captured (each one is scaled to the same size).
"The takeaway, at least for me, is really about this notion of space," he says. "The amount of sheer materials that have had to go into building these buildings for the purposes of essentially warehousing people is really impossible for me to wrap my head around. We're used to aerial images of nation-states overseas, and we'll see a diagram of some compound that is going to be bombed or something. But rarely do we look at these spaces in our backyard and think critically about them."
Begley, who grew up in California near San Quentin, the state's oldest prison, acknowledges that these forms appear to him as simultaneously beautiful and horrific.
"The first time I was really able to look at all of these images," he says, "the thing that jumped out at me the most was that the one commonality among almost all of these prisons was that there was a baseball field there. And the baseball field mimicked the form about these buildings as well. There was something very American about it when I first saw it."
The short-term rental market is reeling from the coronavirus-driven tourism collapse. Can the industry's dominant player stage a comeback after lockdowns lift?
Renters in apartments and houses share more than just germs with their roommates: Life under coronavirus lockdown means negotiating new social rules.
Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?

The CAP Program - Pleasantville Campus
Pleasantville Campus
Mortola Library, 3rd Floor
861 Bedford Road
Pleasantville, NY 10570
Phone: (914) 773-3682
Office Hours: Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM-5:00 PM
The CAP Program utilizes a holistic approach to foster academic success. Students in the CAP Program begin their course of study at Pace University, as do all freshmen, by taking courses that fulfill core requirements. These include English, Math, UNV 101, a Learning Community, and a variety of other courses that satisfy area requirements of the core. In addition, the Program offers a number of special features that distinguish it from other first-year programs.
- Smaller classes that allow professors to give individualized attention
- Extra class time to build foundational skills
- An academic adviser who will guide students through their first year
- A peer mentor who will support students by sharing his/her experience
A student's relationship with his/her CAP adviser will be the cornerstone of the CAP year. Advisers will guide students through course registration, monitor their academic progress, discuss major and career options, and counsel them on the use of appropriate resources. Advisers meet with students weekly in UNV 101 and are also available for individual advising sessions. Advisers maintain an open-door policy to encourage students to ask questions, share concerns, and get advice.
University 101 (UNV 101)
Once a week in their first semester, students attend a UNV 101 course taught by their Academic Advisor. In the course, students develop college success skills, including time management, test preparation, and organizational skills. They are also formally introduced to the University's Learning Assistance Center, Writing Center, and other resources, including the Library, Counseling Center, and Career Services. Peer leaders – sophomores, juniors, or seniors who have successfully completed the CAP Program – assist the adviser in teaching the course by talking with students about keys to their success.

Same Cookie, different song.
Last week when I made the Oatmeal Scotchies I also made these little gems. All I had to do was divide the batter in half before stirring in the chips. So I may have cheated a little by not baking twice, but why not bake once and get two cookies? I am flying out of town today for a week, so I may not get a chance to post this week. Perhaps I will do some reviews of the food I eat while out of town. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this oatmeal cookie spin-off.
White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or grated peel of 1 orange
3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Combine, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract in large bowl. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats, cranberries, and white chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 1 - 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
