Superior Sawtooth 102.5 One Week From Today :)
The Superior Sawtooth is a home course; a home race. However last year I was still quite nervous as I had DNF'd at 77 miles the year prior (2006 report). I knew the course, but wasn't sure that I could tackle the mileage. Now I know that my body can hold up to the toughness of the course..it is the most difficult course that I have run upon..I know that 38 hours is adequate for me to cover the course (I ran it in a l o n g 35:35 last year 2007 report)mentally, this is a huge lift going into the race for me. I'm such a baby. I fret over the unknown. Always. Anything can happen in 38 hours. No matter how many times the same race is run, an injury, stomach upset or weather can be catastrophic and can end the race so quickly. I'm certainly hoping for the best. My first goal is of course to finish, but I'd love to PR too. 32 hours would be super sweet.
This week I've been running with Topaz on the trail after work, on the treadmill before work, getting used to my new schedule. A few weight lifting sessions and stair stepping sessions. I rode my bike into work and home each day. I'm baking in my 'too much' spare time. We're going to the cabin in the morning for the last long holiday of summer and I've baked three different types of brownies to bring along. Good grief. The less I eat the more I bake. The less I run the more I bake. What's up with this? I don't know. I love to bake and it seems as though I'm leaning toward sugary desserts. What a surprise.
I just unpacked my dropbags this week from Leadville 100 and now I will repack for Superior this next week. In the past packing dropbags has always stressed me out. This time, I don't feel stressed. Maybe because I realize it isn't worth the effort of becoming stressed. Who needs it? After work on Thursday I'll head to Two Harbors for the packet pick up fun and then on Friday..one week from right now..party time !!
Have a great long weekend..I'll be enjoying a few short runs with Topaz on the Lake Vermilion shoreline :)

Have I mentioned how crazy you are? Or how impressed I am at the mileage you have to put in for those ultras? I'm freaking out because I have a half marathon in 3 weeks for goodness' sake!
- Julie B said...
ENJOY your 1/2! It is a real big deal and one you should enjoy and be monumentally proud of!!
I just re-read my post of my Superior Report last year. It refreshed my mind of all of the pain, the tough, bad ass, technical, rocky and rooty trail that the SHT is and how exhausting 102.5 miles is to run upon it!
- Carol said...
Julie - good for you on not giving into the fear as in the past. What has helped you make this great shift? Good luck on the SHT! I will talk to you more next week! :)
Im so impressed as well.
avwsed weight lifter.
new running.
you inspire me.

Good luck Julie !!!

For the past two years, I've been studying three pieces of legislation proposed by Rep. Judy Chu, D-Monterey Park. In March official drafts were released. If passed, the legislation would create a San Gabriel National Recreation Area (NRA). This would place a National Park overlay on 621,860 acres of the San Gabriel Valley and the Angeles and San Bernardino National Forests.
Several dozen residential cities along the foothills and San Gabriel River are included in the NRA boundaries, from Santa Clarita to San Bernardino and south along the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo Rivers to Santa Fe Springs. Additionally, in the San Gabriel Mountains, sections of the river would be designated as "Wild and Scenic" and sections of the mountain range as "Wilderness." These designations would modify the type of access and usage allowed in those areas.
Should we rejoice, be concerned or both? A closer look:
A National Recreation Area located near a major population center such as the San Gabriel Valley "can combine scarce open spaces with the preservation of significant historic resources. Additionally, important natural areas can provide outdoor recreation for large numbers of people."
The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act states that "certain rivers with outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations."
The Wilderness Act protects land defined as "an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." "Wilderness is the wildest of the wild. It has no roads, no development."
1. Numerous water agencies have stated that our primary water source (the San Gabriel River) could be negatively impacted. Ninety percent of that water is captured for use by local cities. Eighty-five percent of the water needs of Glendora are fulfilled by this river. Our water supply could be reduced if recreation or the protection of "the free-flowing condition and special character" of the San Gabriel River is deemed more important than capture of water for use by the citizens.
2. The current legislation has undefined boundaries which will not be decided until after the legislation is passed.
3. Currently there are no federal funds available for the implementation of this legislation. We could be asked to tax ourselves in the future to pay for it.
4. Decision-making regarding implementation and management of the NRA would be under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Will the voice of individual cities be heard?
5. With the NRA, cities will see an increased demand for maintenance of their roads and for police and fire resources.
The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, along with Glendora, has asked that a full federal study of the Wilderness and Wild and Scenic designations be completed prior to the legislation being drafted. The studies have been partially completed. This legislation will impact a large number of people and a vast area of land. Deciding whether it is beneficial for the San Gabriel Valley now and for the future should not be rushed or taken lightly. It is not a partisan issue, and ultimately should be decided by the citizens. To learn more and lend your voice to the discussion, please attend a Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, May 21, in Glendora. Speakers include a representative from Rep. Judy Chu's office, the water agencies, National Forest Service, Director of Environmental Analysis, and the city of Glendora.
More about this legislation, including the legislative drafts and the maps are posted on my blog: www.glendorajudy.com.
Judy Nelson is mayor of Glendora.

Being mugged. Being in a bus crash. Getting kidnapped. Catching a horrible tropical disease. Earthquakes.
These are some of the many things that I worried about before heading off for a year of travel. Of course I should have realised that when the time came for my luck to run out that it would be my own stupidity that caused it – and end up sending me to hospital.
The day started pretty well – after an earlyish start, we had a beautiful boat ride across the Andaman sea to Ko Phi Phi. I was with my friend Jo from back home,and who's working as a volunteer English teacher in Krabi at the moment, and we were on our way to meet another friend Nick, who was on holiday from England in Phuket.
The journey was lovely, as we passed a series of dramatic, limestone islands along the way. Soon enough we were at our destination, and met up with Nick at the harbour. We were picked up by someone from our hotel, and walked across to the other end of the town and up a long flight of stairs to our hotel. It was a bit of an effort getting up the hill in the midday heat – but at least I had the prospect of a lovely view to keep me motivated. That would turn out to be my undoing.
It only took a minute or two to check in, and we walked across to the room. I was really excited about seeing the view, so walked straight across the room and through the open glass door onto the balcony.
Except of course it wasn't open. Looking back on it now, I don't even remember the impact really, it happened so quickly. One minute I was walking across the room, the next I was standing on the balcony surrounded by shattered glass. That first moment of realisation seemed to last an eternity (that'll be the shock then) before I gradually became aware of lots of shouting, people all around me, and then, finally, began to see blood everywhere.
It turns out the glass was very, very thin non-safety glass, and it had shattered into sharp shards that had sliced into my skin in various places. Before I really knew what was going on, a guy from the hotel had hoisted me onto his back, carried me down the stairs and popped me into a luggage trolley to wheel me back across the island to the hospital.
I'm so glad my friend Nick was with me (especially being someone I've known for so long), as he accompanied me the whole way, chatting away to keep my spirits up (and distract me) from the fact I was now aware that there was a fair amount of blood pouring down my arms and legs.
It must have been quite a sight – the streets of Ko Phi Phi are pretty narrow, and very crowded, so of course everyone was staring at me as we trundled past (bloody typical that the hospital turned out to be right at the other end of the island).
I was a bit concerned about what the hospital was going to be like – but I really needn't have been. The place was pretty new, built since the tsunami, and within seconds of walking in I was already lying on a bed with five people around me cleaning my wounds. Within no time at all I was being dosed up with local anaesthetic, and stitched up in various places simultaneously (all the while with Nick joking away in the background), and best of all the room was right on the beach so I could distract myself by looking out onto a stunning view. You wouldn't get that back home.
In no time at all I was back up and out on the beach – all in all I'd been on the island for not much more than an hour in total and I'd calmed down enough to take stock of the situation:
In total, I had 38 stitches (14 on the left forearm, 6 on the left hand, 8 on the right elbow, and 5 each on right knee and shin), plus a few butterfly stitched on my forehead and right leg, and a big bandage around a smaller wound on my left heel. With bandages over each wound I was doing quite a passable impression of a mummy on holiday.
To be honest, I was incredibly lucky – no glass went into my eyes, no ligaments were sliced through, no major marks on my face, and nothing on my back or sides that would have made sitting down or sleeping difficult. The staff at the hospital were incredibly efficient, friendly and professional, they really were superb. And luckily enough, while the wounds were big, they were all very very shallow, meaning they didn't even really hurt (which is great as I am the biggest wimp in the world when it comes to pain).
In the end it was pretty easy to laugh about soon afterwards (I really felt like a complete muppet, to be honest), and it soon became yet another great way to talk to new people (shame I'm not straight really as every girl in town wanted to stop and talk to me for the next few days to ask about what happened).
In the end it turned out to be inconvenient more than anything – I'd just arrived on one of the most stunning coastlines in the world, and I was now unable to swim, or snorkel, or dive. That pretty much put paid to my plans, so I had no choice but to cancel them and head up to Bangkok.
There was one thing that did really piss me off though – after having my brand new boardshorts nicked after two hours of wear in Bali, I bought another new pair in Singapore. I was wearing them for the first time that day, and of course the glass did a pretty good job of shredding those too. Typical.

Luteinizing hormone along with Follicle stimulating hormone has a role in development and maturation of normal ovarian follicle and in mid cycle LH surge initiates ovulation. HCG plays the same role of LH in body and stimulates ovulation process in infertile woman. HCG stimulates Corpus Luteum of the ovary to produce progesterone.

Bhutto Conspiracy Theories Fill the Air
By Simon Robinson/Lahore
If you believe the rumors that zip around Pakistan in the aftermath of one of the country's depressingly regular outbreaks of violence, it's all America's fault. Or India's. Or Israel's. Or it's those Afghan-based militia who keep sneaking across the border. Fueled by cheap cell phone calls and the rise of 24-hour television news channels, gossip about who is to blame for Pakistan's woes runs from the reasonable to the ridiculous.
In the 24 hours since a lone attacker assassinated former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the rumor mill has again been working overtime. In Karachi, amid reports of rioting and sabotage, stories circulated that the city's water supply had been poisoned and people were afraid to drink it. There were also the conflicting accounts of how Bhutto died — from bullet wounds or from a bomb blast that followed or from fracturing her skull against her car's sun-roof as the assailant blew himself up. In the confusion of reports, many Pakistanis are pointing the finger of blame at President Pervez Musharraf and his allies in Washington.
There is no evidence to suggest that Musharraf or Pakistan's security forces were connected to the attack. On jihadi websites, al-Qaeda claimed the assassination was their work and intelligence officials in both Pakistan and the U.S. agree that Islamic extremists from al-Qaeda or the Taliban were probably responsible for the devastating attack. But as Musharraf's popularity has slipped badly, moderate and religious Pakistanis alike have begun to blame him for the increasing chaos in their country — and to trace every incident directly to his rule and his high-profile allies. "This assassination was fabricated by the present government," says Liaqat Baloch, a senior official in Jamaat-e-Islami, one of Pakistan's main Islamic parties. "It is part of the American strategy to scare people that Pakistan is falling apart."
At a time when Pakistan does indeed seem to be falling apart, it may seem absurd and even pointless to repeat such allegations. But the sentiments provide a powerful insight into how angry Pakistanis are at their President and how mistrustful they are of the U.S. At the least, says retired Lieutenant General Hamid Gul, the former director general of Pakistani intelligence organization Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), "it's very convenient for the security forces to call it a suicide bomber because they can cover up the possibility someone else was behind the attack." Gul, who has become a harsh critic of Musharraf over the past year, believes America is partly responsible for its current predicament. "If America continues to act selfishly and unwisely, well, there is hardly any good that has come out [of their help] either for the U.S. or Pakistan, and this will continue."
[As ISI chief, Gul helped run the Afghan mujahideen as a force to counter and eventually defeat the Soviet Union in the 1980s; later he helped establish the Taliban in Afghanistan. He also organized the guerrillas fighting the Indian army in the sections of Kashmir held by New Delhi.]
With such mistrust, rumors thrive. On the streets of Lahore Friday afternoon, many blamed Musharraf and the U.S. rather than Islamic extremists for Bhutto's demise. White-haired Mohamed Sharif, 61, who runs a sidewalk barber's shop using a rusty old metal table and a worn mirror, says the "rumor is that America is involved in this with Musharraf's help." A passerby butts in with his agreement: "America and the government are in the same direction, they are allies," says Sabir Hussain. "If the government is doing this it is on the order of America."
Lahore is a stronghold of opposition leader and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and is home to plenty of Bhutto supporters as well. In a place that's so heavily anti-Musharraf, innuendo seems to feed on itself. On the city's main street, lined with policemen holding batons and wearing anti-riot gear, two teenagers out for a walk say they have also heard about a possible government connection to the attack but cannot offer any evidence to back up the claims. "My mother told me not to talk about this topic on my mobile or telephone because the government may tape it," says Hafiz Jamshaid, 18, a computer science student at a local college.
Across town, in a park in the tony neighborhood known as Defense Housing Authority, or DFA, four business associates discussed Pakistan's future after their regular afternoon walk. "People are afraid to air their opinions but as far as I know America sent Benazir and later killed her with the help of Pervez Musharraf," says M.A. Mohamed, who runs a car parts company. "I can confirm this idea." His friend and colleague Talat Mumtaz interjects: "No, no. no, America likes Benazir. Why would they kill her? You're being ridiculous."
"No one knows what are the facts," complains Constable Jafar Hamid, proudly showing off his English as he guards a McDonald's outlet, closed against possible rioting. So where do all the rumors come from? "We don't believe in one thing, we don't think like a nation," he says. "Everybody has his own opinion and that is part of the problem."

Clicker.com is back again with the definitive guide to this week's Web programming. Nearly every broadcasting network is posting their premieres online shortly after they air now, but we're most excited about Louis CK's stand-up movie Hilarious.
The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret: Any Arrested Development fans in the house? David Cross and Will Arnett teamed up back in November of 2009 to create what looks to be a seriously promising series. IFC is bringing the BBC show stateside (finally!) but it won't air on TV until October 1st. Lucky for you, the pilot episode is streaming free right now! They tried to sneak it past ya', but you're just too quick for 'em. Way to play it.
Eerie, Indiana: Are you experiencing sudden flashbacks to your childhood right now? Good. If you're not familiar with this sci-fi mystery show for kids, get ready to travel to the creepiest town in America: Eerie. The series follows young Marshall Teller as he attempts to decipher his town's bizarre occurrences, which include but aren't limited to axe murderers, urban legends, and pets obsessed with world domination.
The Guild: The Guild, starring Internet TV goddess Felicia Day, isn't new by any means, but they are actively posting episodes every Tuesday and are rapidly approaching their 4th season finale, so it's the perfect time to start watching if you're not already an avid fan. That, and we noticed you called us out for not mentioning them before (that's right – we're totally reading your comments).
Know Your Meme: Web series live all over the Internet but many have found success through the use of their channels on YouTube. Know Your Meme is a perfect example, because not only does it live on YouTube, it would hardly exist without it. This show sheds scientific light on how and why anything (YouTube sensations included) spreads quickly enough to reach the ultimate Internet achievement: meme status.
Motherboard: This series is just plain awesome. It touts itself as a site for tech news, but it's more than that. It steps behind the technology to meet its makers. One of our favorite episodes investigates how design company Threadless started as an online art project only to go global. Another good one is the latest episode about a non-profit organization called the Mars Society that actually built a real-life environment to emulate what life on Mars might feel like. Incredible.
Old Jews Telling Jokes: Sukkot might be over but that's no reason to stop celebrating! Old Jews Telling Jokes is exactly that, and it's ridiculously endearing. It's been around for over a year and it looks like they're gearing up for a spin-off, shot in front of a live audience sitcom-style.
Hilarious: Earlier this week, EPIX announced that by requesting an invite to their site (for free) you'd get access to stream comedian Louis C.K.'s new stand-up film, Hilarious. Clicker dedicated a post to the news earlier this week, but it bears repeating. It's so hilarious, it just might drive you insane (you'll get the reference once you watch it, trust us).
The Tour Championship: The PGA Tour's season finale, The Tour Championship, began this Thursday and will be streamed live through the final round this Sunday, the 26th. The live schedule for each day is available at Clicker's live TV page, so make sure to check in to see who's teeing off, or if you feel the need to prove to the world how boring you are, just marathon the entire live stream every day until it's over.
UFL Football: Last week we told you about Sunday Night Football Extra, which continues to stream live NFL games every week throughout the season, but what we didn't tell you is that it's not the only source for live streaming football. There's a new pro football league! The United Football League also streams games live. There are only six teams in this league but rest assured, they tackle just as hard. This Saturday at 8pm ET Hartford will gear up against Omaha, and then at 11pm ET Florida will square off against Sacramento. Both games will be streaming live, so don't forget your power cord at work on Friday.
If this doesn't fill your entertainment needs for the week, head on over to Clicker for fun videos and collections like the Top Five TV Shows & Talent Snubbed by the Emmy's, What You Were Watching: August 2010, Famous Last Words: 10 Doomed Characters and Their Final Thoughts, or On Apple's 'Successful' Campaign Towards H.264.
Clicker is the complete programming guide for the new era of Internet TV. Clicker catalogs all the premium TV shows, movies, Web series, live events and music videos available on the Web in one seamless, organized experience so viewers can easily discover what's available to watch, where to watch it, and share what's worth watching online and from their iPhone or Android devices.

The long awaited return of the multi award winning saga by Mike Bennett, is finally over with the return of the Underwood and Flinch chronicles, Volume 3 Blood and smoke.
"Blood & Smoke" is a great new audio novel from Mike Bennett. Though I highly recommend the podcast to all fans of horror and suspense, this does come with the warning that the subject matter is extremely graphic and intense in content. It is never gratuitous, however, for to hold back anything depicted in its chapters would betray the premise and the story would suffer for it.
"Blood & Smoke" proves that not only has Bennett grown as an artist over his last few novels, he is also brave enough to follow a story where it leads. Stephen King stated that once he finished "Pet Sematary" he put it away in a drawer thinking it too extreme for publication. The shock and awe of this high adrenaline narrative has much the same effect of that King novel or "The Exorcist."
If you can endure the extreme horror of writers like Edward Lee, I highly recommend this venture by Mike Bennett. He takes the listener into the bleak darkness of addiction and obsession, but rather than relying on gore and shock, it is his emotionally charged depictions of the damned characters at its core that keep you hooked.

A neurological disease is one that affects the brain or the network of nerves running throughout the body. The signs of illness can range from very mild (a weakness in one leg) to very severe (the inability to stand). In order for your vet to investigate the disease they need to know where the problem actually lies. If your pet has difficulty walking this may be because of a problem with the nerves in its leg, pressure on the nerves in its spine (like a slipped disc) or a problem in the brain. Only by careful examination can your vet identify where the problem is likely to be in order to perform the most appropriate tests.
Diseases affecting the brain can make cats very unwell. The brain is a very delicate organ and even minor changes within the brain can cause significant clinical signs. Animals with brain disease can show a variety of signs: depression and apparent headache (pressing their head against a wall), seizures (fits) and behavioural changes. If only a small area of the brain is affected then animals may show localised signs, eg lameness, head tilt, blindness, wobbliness.
Signs of brain disease may be caused by a disease within the brain or by a disease elsewhere in the body that results in toxins or other potentially harmful substances entering the blood and being transported to the brain. If your vet suspects that your pet has a brain disease they will need to do a variety of tests to work out where the primary problem is.

In what has to be the California version of "politics makes strange bedfellows," liberal Democratic Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom has gone to Texas with a largely Republican contingent of state legislators to see whether Texas is better than California as a place for job creation.
Newsom and his new best friends may see the same things, but they may not draw the same conclusions.
The reason behind the visit is the belief by some that Texas has added 165,000 jobs over the past three years, while California has lost 1.2 million jobs. There's a problem with this claim. California has lost very few jobs to Texas and other states, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.
But the bulk of the state's losses are jobs that have been sent abroad or hired abroad by California-based companies. Apple, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, Disney, Applied Materials, Adobe and Yahoo are a few of the many California corporations that have moved production overseas because the costs are much less than in California. Whether that's good or bad is another question, but the fact is that the overwhelming percentage of these jobs are not going to Texas or any other state.
But there is another side to the Texas visit, namely whether because of its "job-growing" economy the Lone Star state is an example for California revenue and spending. The inference is, if you keep taxes low, the state and its people will prosper. Well, hang on to your Stetson, because things aren't nearly as rosy in Texas as you might expect.
While California has been struggling to patch a $26 billion hole in the state budget, Texas has its own two-year hole of between $14 billion and $27 billion, depending on who is doing the estimating, according to the Austin Statesman newspaper.
Legislators there are on the verge of patching their budget by reducing school funding by $800 per student, something that will result in 108,000 school employees losing their jobs. They also plan massive reductions in health care programs for the needy, elderly and disabled and reductions in Medicaid by 10 percent on top of the three percent they cut earlier this year.
Here's the kicker: According to the Austin Statesman, only about one-third of the shortfall is because of the economic downturn; two-thirds stems from reduced business taxes and a revised school finance system in 2005. In other words the state no longer is collecting enough money to meet existing programmatic needs.
Sound familiar?
All of this brings us back to an all too familiar refrain. When it comes to budgets, you can either raise revenues or cut spending, or come with a combination of each. There's nothing wrong with low tax rates and reduced state spending; after all, no one likes to pay taxes, period. But Texas, like California, has to deal with the reality that if you cut revenues, spending must be cut as well. If Texans and Californians don't see a cost of such decisions, so be it. But there will be a cost, nonetheless.

MONTREAL - Members of the Rizzuto family took control of the Montreal Mafia by crushing their enemies. Wednesday night's brazen killing of 86-year-old patriarch Nicolo Rizzuto is a sign that such vengeance is coming back to haunt them, experts in organized crime say.
"They are the titans of the crime world," said Julian Sher, an investigative journalist who has written a book about organized crime. "It is a brazen attack – literally going after the head (of the Mafia)."
Killing the Montreal Mafia's senior members would have been unthinkable a few years ago, he said.
Last December, a gunman fatally shot Nicolo Rizzuto's grandson Nick Jr. in Notre Dame de Grâce.
"If you would have said five years ago that Nick Sr. and Nick Jr. would both be assassinated and Vito (Rizzuto) would be in jail, people would be thinking you were watching a bad version of the Godfather," Sher said.
"To think that three of the most powerful Rizzutos are either dead or in jail is shocking."
The Rizzuto clan has been battered and beaten over the past few years, likely because there is a major shift in the organized crime world and in the Mafia, he speculated.
"People in organized crime have long memories," Sher said.
Pierre De Champlain, a retired RCMP organized crime analyst, said he wasn't surprised to learn of Nicolo Rizzuto's killing.
The killing of Nick Rizzuto Jr. and the kidnapping of his uncle Paolo Renda last spring is evidence that there is an organized attempt to get rid of the Rizzuto clan, he said.
"Tonight, they assassinated the patriarch – the symbol of the Rizzuto clan."
The killings and kidnapping of senior members of the Rizzuto clean have sent a clear message to Vito Rizzuto, who is in a Colorado prison, that his days as godfather of the Montreal Mafia are over, he said.
"I think that he got the message a long time ago," De Champlain added.
Vito Rizzuto is eligible for parole in 2012. He has been serving a 10-year prison sentence after pleading guilty in a racketeering case, which involved the 1981 murders of three mobsters in Brooklyn, N.Y.
"His situation is precarious," De Champlain said.
When Vito Rizzuto was extradited to New York in 2006, he told two police investigators escorting him that "he was the only person able to maintain a relative peace among the diverse criminal organizations in Montreal."
Antonio Nicaso, the Toronto-based author of several books on organized crime, said he believes several groups are behind the plot to remove the Rizzutos from Montreal's organized crime scene.
"There is no war because the victims are all on one side," he said.
Nicaso said he suspects a combination of groups from Ontario, New York and Montreal, including members of the Mafia and street gangs, are behind the attacks on the Rizzutos.
"It is their enemies from the past and enemies from the present," he said. "They want to get their hands on the narcotics trade, the extortion business and the (construction industry). They will do everything to remove the Rizzuto crime family from the map."
Ricardo Padulo, who owns a restaurant on St. Zotique St. said Nicolo Rizzuto and his family used to come to his grandmother's Italian grocery story back in the 1950s.
"My grandmother opened the first Italian grocery story in Montreal and they would encourage us," he said. "We know them as customers."
Padulo said many Italian Montrealers know the Rizzutos because they hail from the same village in Sicily.
"They keep a low profile and they don't show off," said Padulo, who attended Nick Rizzuto Jr.'s funeral last winter after he was fatally shot in Notre Dame de Grâce.
"From what we know, they don't really bother anybody. They don't brag, they don't take space."

The new "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie is big on historical accuracy... at least when it comes to breasts.
Here's part of the casting call circulated last week for "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides:" "beautiful female fit models. Must be 5 ft 7 in. - 5 ft 8 in., size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants."
The actresses also must be able to dive, swim and, possibly, swashbuckle.
The Times of London reported that because the movie is a period piece, its creators want everything to fit the times, even if that means fitting actresses into oxygen depriving bodices. The Times, citing sources familiar with cleavage on film, reported that this was the first time such an edict was passed down for a "Pirates" movie.
"In the last movie there were enhanced breasts to give that 18th-century whoreish look and men were pretty well padded, too, and no one worried," a former casting agent told the Times. "But times are changing and the audience can spot false breasts."
There will be a "show and tell" with costume designers.
"Pirates" actress Kiera Knightley explained to the Times the breast-case scenario for the not-so-well endowed.
U.S. & World
"It took about 45 minutes every day for make-up artists to add shade and volume and it looked fantastic until it got too hot shooting," Knightley told the Times. "Then the make-up would start smearing and the lines running away."
A casting agent told the Hollywood Insider that similar period piece casting call requirements sometimes apply to tattoos and hair highlights. As for male actors, Men's Health cover model abs might be considered unfit for a period piece.
The movie, starring Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz, is scheduled for release in May 2011.

Consumption tax rush approaching peak time
Retailers continue to enjoy good business in the runup to the consumption tax hike on April 1, but some are a bit anxious that consumers may not understand the situation sufficiently. Tokyo Shimbun visited a few Tokyo department stores where the rush to buy is especially intense, causing them to post clarifying announcements to head off any attendant disappointment.
At Isetan, these notices are posted prominently in the furniture and bedding sections, as well as the eyeglass section, meaning departments where people order merchandise and then take delivery later. As one Isetan employee explained to the paper, the consumption tax is applied on the day of receipt of merchandise, not on the day it was ordered or even on the day it was paid for. A good portion of department store sales are order-made products, and the notices are cautioning customers to make sure they understand the date their stuff will be ready to pick up, otherwise they may end up paying more than they thought they would.
Keio department store is telling all its customers about the rule so that "there is no misunderstanding." Daimaru Matsuzaka, near Tokyo Station, has seen sales of order-made men's suits climb to 14.4 percent higher than last year, a new record, but the closer they get to March the more nervous they are since some suits take longer to make than others. Takashimaya in Nihonbashi is apparently the most conscientious department store, posting very detailed explanations in all its sections that insist the earlier you order something, the more likely it will be you can avoid the extra 3 percent charge.
However, a related article in the weekly Aera says that consumers shouldn't worry that much, since there's a good chance people will buy something now to avoid the tax hike only to end up paying more. Some retailers are not as straightforward as the above-mentioned department stores, using the rush as a means of getting customers to sign up for credit cards in order to compound their savings without realizing that in the end they'll probably have to pay handling fees that will negate such savings, unless they happen to be frequent patrons of the store, in which case they probably already have a card. The magazine interviewed a few housewives who plan to make big purchases ahead of the tax hike.
One woman says she is going to buy all new household appliances, while another in her early 30s will buy baby shower and wedding gifts for friends who will celebrate these happy events in the near future, but as she said, "often these gifts go on sale in July, so I don't know if I'm actually saving money by buying them now."
A financial planner told Aera that it may be a mistake to buy some big ticket items now. Air conditioner sales, for instance, tend to be their lowest in March, which is between the cold and the hot seasons. That's also when manufacturers put out new models, which means last year models will be quite cheap, so he advises to wait. Even after April 1, the price could be considerably less than they are now, even taking the tax hike into consideration. But automobiles and home improvement work, he says, should be ordered right now, if it already isn't too late, because they require time before final delivery and there are no bargain sales associated with either. For mini-cars (kei jidosha), in particular, now is the time to buy since next year the car tax for buying one will increase by 50 percent.
In the end, here are items that Aera recommends buying now to beat the tax: household appliances; over-the-counter drugs that can be stored for long periods, like aspirin; gold, since the purchaser can buy at a lower tax rate and sell at a higher one; theme park tickets; long-term commuting passes and train tickets in bulk (kaisuken).
Items that Aera doesn't recommend buying now: PCs and TVs, because they always go on sale; apparel and accessories, which tend to be much cheaper during semiannual bargain sales; real estate and stocks; gems and platinum, which, unlike gold, are more vulnerable to price fluctuations; and everyday necessities like toilet paper, which people all over the world tend to buy up whenever there is some sort of financial panic.

I am not hosting Thanksgiving this year, but if I were, I would have definitely set a table inspired by these gorgeous images taken by José Villa, California wedding photographer extraordinaire. I wish I had known about him when I got married! The photos are from the beautiful and unique wedding of Jessica Claire and Jeff Norwood which took place at 3 Stones Winery in Napa.
I love the idea of a rustic, elegant table infused with color from bright dishes and flowers. The vintage vibe is just lovely. Overall, I think the table and decorations all look so special, but they have a relaxed quality about them which is perfect for Thanksgiving. Plus, who wouldn't love a holiday meal in Napa? It's the perfect setting for a fall holiday.

Births by teenage mothers are on the decline and it could be thanks to an unlikely source: MTV.
A new study released on Monday from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the show "16 and Pregnant" and its spinoff "Teen Mom" might have helped prevent more than 20,000 births by teenage mothers in 2010, The New York Times reported.
Each episode of "16 and Pregnant" follows a different teenager through her pregnancy, childbirth and first weeks of motherhood. "Teen Mom" follows the young mothers through their early months and years of parenthood.
U.S. & World
By documenting the consequences of unprotected sex and the challenges of being a young parent, the show played a role in reducing the rate of teenage births, according to the researchers Melissa Kearney of the Hamilton Project and Phillip Levine of Wellesley College. They say the programs reduced the teenage birthrate by almost 6 percent. Their research also found that social media posts and online searches related to contraception increased when the show was on.
Teen pregnancy fell faster in areas where teenagers were watching more MTV programming, they said. Kearney and Levine used birth records and Nielsen television ratings for their research and focused on the period after 2009, when "16 and Pregnant" debuted on MTV.

About CaitlinP
I do think that taking down the server was unnecessary on Blizzard's part, since they don't have a competing server now––I don't think they're ignoring market demand though.
At Blizzcon 2017, they announced that they were starting development on World of Warcraft Classic, which is supposed to be the original Vanilla experience.
At the very least, they've acknowledged and are acting on what their players want.
If those NSA folks can't figure out how to do their job without violating the constitution, then they probably shouldn't be the ones doing it.
It seems to me that Congressman Rogers thinks that he's the entirety of Congress.
I mean, if he knows, everybody else does too.
Huh. I just thought he was an incompetent liar.
Maybe he's not keeping track of the site because of that ban that keeps Federal Officials from using WikiLeaks...
Quite frankly, the only money the content industries are losing due to piracy are the funds they're using to fight piracy.
They shouldn't have removed the feature in the first place. They should have had a group dedicated to hunting down the cheaters. If they didn't want to do that, they could have asked the players to do it. Most people are more than happy to tattle on those who tried to cheat the system.
Same with the used game issues. Why don't they just form a contract with used game sellers so that they make a profit for every used game sold? There. Problem solved. Of course, they could always just make the games $20 cheaper. $50 is expensive for a new console game, and I'm barely willing to pay $40 for a handheld game. The prices are kind of insane. Especially since there are so many $50 or $40 games that are complete trash.
This is reminiscent of Freedom of Speech. God forbid we limit that in any way shape or form when it comes to doing it in person in the name of religion. "We can't do much about hate speech when they're yelling it out on the streets." is what I hear in response to stuff like the Westboro Church or other entities.
Yet when it's out on the Internet it's, "Terrorism!" somehow. Like saying something in text as compared to out loud is somehow inherently different in meaning.
It's interesting to see how people automatically shut down and act defensively in silly ways as soon as they hear any word associated with fear. Maybe we should stop calling it Terrorism and start calling it what it is. Sad.
The Internet is simply another avenue of human expression. It should not be limited because to limit it would be akin to limiting ourselves. Limiting access to the Internet simply because Terrorists use it is like saying we should discontinue Welfare or Medicaid because there are lazy people who abuse those services as well.
Oh wait...
It's nice to see their ideals in action, what with all the "No apologies" I mean, who wants someone to be sorry for their actions?
Certainly arrogance is quite becoming of them, real attractive feature right there. Let's just all start inconveniencing everybody and not apologize for it! I mean, nothing bad could possibly happen to anyone as a result of being a complete and total asshole.
I actually like the concept of having fans edit and proofread. If you host your book as you write it on the internet, and then have others read it and tell you how to make it better, it usually helps you improve your writing. There are a lot of sites for this actually, and most help you gauge how popular your book will be among a paying audience.
We'll all be placed in those recall machines for "vacations" and forced to live through a "perfect" life with IP Maximalism and protections.
Reminds me of Wall-E's Buy n' Large...

Without Any Legal Basis, The NYPD Has Been Classifying Its Own Documents For More Than A Decade
from the aw,-how-cute!-it-thinks-it's-above-the-law! dept
Under the guidance of Chief Ray Kelly and Mayor Mike Bloomberg, the NYPD has transformed into an autonomous militarized force. Technically, it answers to Bloomberg and Kelly, but they've both shown extreme amounts of resistance to reining in any of the PD's excesses.
Any attempts at bringing oversight and accountability to the force are met with anger and condescension, despite the fact that the NYPD's casual abuse of New Yorker's civil liberties are the subject of major lawsuits and city council legislation, as well as a sizable contributor to the city's annual outlay of $700-800 million in settlements.
We've previously discussed the department's secretiveness that has seen it described by investigative journalists as worse than the NSA and FBI when it comes to responding to FOI requests. (Not for nothing does the New York law governing these requests do business under the acronym "FOIL.") But the NYPD is doing something no other city law enforcement agency has done: classifying its own documents.
Since at least 2003, the New York Police Department has been labeling some of its internal documents "Secret," a designation that has baffled government secrecy experts, journalists and civil liberties lawyers.Why is this "baffling?" Because the NYPD's in-house classification system has nothing legal to back it up.
By labeling documents "secret," the Intelligence Division appears to be operating its own in-house classification system, similar to those used at federal agencies like the CIA, where Intel's chief, David Cohen, previously worked for 35 years.
Some of the documents also include the caveat, in all-caps, that "No portion of this document can be copied or distributed without the exclusive permission of the policy commissioner or deputy commissioner of intelligence."
"You know what that [label] means? It means diddly," said Robert Freeman, executive director of New York's Committee on Open Government. "I think the police department is following the lead of the federal government. The difficulty is, in my opinion, it does not have a legal basis for doing that."The NYPD remains a law unto itself. Bloomberg has referred to it as the "seventh biggest army in the world" (and his own "personal army") and has, over the course of his three terms, indulged every excess. It should be noted that former CIA officer David Cohen got the ball rolling on the civil liberties-violating "Demographics Group" (the one that labeled entire mosques as terrorist entities) late in 2002, which would explain the noticeable uptick in "SECRET" documents in 2003. Nothing drives overclassification more than a combination of dubious legality and working hand-in-hand with national intelligence agency liaisons.
Christopher Dunn, associate legal director at the New York Civil Liberties Union, told HuffPost he has only seen the label on documents created after 2001. He agreed with Freeman that "as far as I know, this marking has no legal significance."
And it would appear that the NYPD still has lots of secrets it's not willing to share with the public. HuffPo points to this story from 2011 in which Chief Kelly makes the claim that the NYPD could "take down an airplane" thanks to its anti-aircraft weaponry. That itself should be troubling enough and a strong indicator that Bloomberg and Kelly are better qualified to run a banana republic than an American city, but when asked to comment on the PD's anti-aircraft guns, Bloomberg responded with this smirk of a statement:
"New York City Police Department has lots of capabilities you don't know about and you won't know about them."That's comforting. Nothing like having the commander-in-chief of the "seventh biggest army in the world" tell you his force might have even bigger tricks up its sleeve than anti-aircraft weapons.
On the bright side, Mayor

On Twitter, Ellen Pao is defending Keith Rabois.Pao is the venture capitalist who accused Kleiner Perkins of retaliating against her for reporting an incident of sexual harassment after she broke off an affair with a partner.
Rabois is the Internet executive who just stepped down as COO of Square, the payments startup, after admitting to a physical relationship with an employee.
A lawyer representing the Square employee threatened Square with a lawsuit, prompting Rabois's resignation. While he denied wrongdoing, he admitted to the relationship and said the lawsuit would be a "distraction" to the company.
While Pao did not comment specifically on the claims against Rabois, she said he was "poised for greatness" and cited a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.:
The ultimate measure of a man is … where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Many people have drawn parallels between the Kleiner lawsuit and the Square incident.
What they both illustrate is that people working in Silicon Valley frequently mix personal and professional ties. The ferocity of work and the insularity of the technology community all but guarantee some level of in-house fraternization, and it's rare to find policies restricting relationships, aside from when they involve a manager and a direct report.
But Pao's support for Rabois is indicative of the high level of support he is getting from peers in the industry—even from one you might think would be sympathetic to his accuser.
Pao and Rabois attended Harvard Law School simultaneously and graduated in the same year, though it's not clear they knew each other then. They are currently friends on Facebook. During the time Pao worked at Kleiner, the firm invested in Square. And last year, Kleiner hired away Megan Quinn, Square's director of product, as a partner.
Here are Pao's tweets:

Topic Overview
Your doctor, registered dietitian, or certified diabetes educator may suggest that you use one of two ways to count carbohydrate in your diet. For both, 15 grams of carbohydrate equals one serving. Use the method that is easiest for you.
- Counting grams of carbohydrate. For example, if you want to eat 45 grams of carbohydrate, you would choose three servings (3 servings x 15 grams per serving = 45 grams). So for breakfast, you could choose three servings of different foods (such as oatmeal, milk, and half of a banana) or three servings of the same food (such as a larger serving of oatmeal).
- Counting servings of carbohydrate. In this system, 15 grams equals 1 carbohydrate serving. Instead of counting 45 grams of carbohydrate at breakfast, you would count 3 carbohydrate servings.
Know your daily amount
Your daily amount depends on several things—your weight, how active you are, what diabetes medicines you take, and what your goals are for your blood sugar levels. A registered dietitian or certified diabetes educator can help you plan how much carbohydrate to include in each meal and snack.
For most adults, a guideline for the daily amount of carbohydrate is:
- 45 to 60 grams at each meal. That's about the same as 3 to 4 carbohydrate servings.
- 15 to 20 grams at each snack. That's about the same as 1 carbohydrate serving.

Superstorm Sandy aftermath: 3 dead, thousands without power in Connecticut
Shoreline residents returned home to find unprecedented damage, municipal officials plotted contingency plans for trick-or-treating, and more than 500,000 homes and businesses remained without power Tuesday as Connecticut began to recover from superstorm Sandy.
At least three people were killed in the storm, which brought 80 mile-per-hour wind gusts to a Connecticut coast not fully rebuilt after Tropical Storm Irene ravaged it 14 months ago.
The damage was severe enough for President Barack Obama to declare the state's four shoreline counties a federal disaster area following similar declarations in New Jersey and New York City.
In a 6 p.m. news conference in Hartford, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said he hoped the rest of the state would also get assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the coming days.
A 34-year-old Milford man who had jumped from a fishing pier near the height of the storm Monday night was one of three people whose death officials attributed to the storm. A volunteer firefighter in Easton and a 90-year-old woman in Mansfield were also killed.
The body of the Milford man, identified as Brian Bakunas, was recovered Tuesday by the Coast Guard, officials said. He had last been seen swimming in heavy surf near the Walnut Beach Pier shortly before 8 p.m.
The other two deaths attributed to the storm were caused by falling trees.
A fire lieutenant, part of a full crew responding to a call in Easton around 7:30 p.m., died when multiple trees feel on a group of firefighters as they got out to remove another tree that was blocking the road.
The Weston-Easton Daily Voice website identified the man as Russell Neary, a vice president at Stamford-based General Reinsurance Company.
Olga Raymond, 90, was walking to a neighbor's house in Mansfield with two other family members around 6:30 p.m. Monday when they were hit by a falling tree that also brought down a power line. State police said she was declared dead at the scene.
A 23-year-old Milford man who was in a kayak that capsized Sunday morning near Charles Island still has not been found. The man, Jeff Kumweide, was wearing a red t-shirt and jeans, but no life jacket, officials said.
The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection had been leading the search for Kumweide but has since handed it over to the Milford Police Department, a DEEP spokesman said.
Police spokesman could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
As Malloy spoke Tuesday evening, Connecticut Light and Power and United Illuminating -- the state's two utility companies -- were reporting a combined 590,000 outages, most of them in the southwestern and southeastern corners of the state.
The outage total -- which peaked at about 670,000 earlier in the day -- was lower than the totals that piled up after both Tropical Storm Irene and last year's October nor'easter, both of which caused more than 800,000 outages.
Officials for both companies said they have more crews ready to assess the damage and move forward than they had available last year.
Malloy, who was highly critical of utility executives last year, spoke with urgency Tuesday about the outages but urged residents to consider the harsh conditions line workers are facing.
"As I have said over the past few days, I know how focused people are on that issue and I want to assure you that I am too," Malloy said. "... There is a lot of damage out there. Our expectations have to keep that in mind. We will hold everyone accountable, but we have to be realistic as well."
The governor, who called a 9 p.m. news conference Monday night to warn shoreline residents of the dire circumstances surrounding the storm surge, said beyond homes, he was concerned that power be restored to water supply systems and critical care facilities.
United Illuminating avoided what could have been a serious equipment failure when it shut down three of its substations in Bridgeport Monday, according to UI senior vice president Tony Marone.
Marone said the salt water came within inches of critical infrastructure and depending on how many of about a dozen underground vaults are damaged, power could come back quickly in downtown Bridgeport.
Marone praised the New Haven Fire Department for helping to pump water at the Mill River substation, which never had to be de-energized. There were also no problems at the Grand Avenue switching station, which was of concern.
CL&P vice president Bill Quinlan said the company's system took "heavy damage" with 11 transmission lines out. Aerial patrols were to be used to better assess the damage, he said.
"At this point, we are in full emergency response mode and we are executing our plan," Quinlan said.
The good news for the state's largest utility is that neither the substation in Branford, nor the one in Stamford, where they built a concrete berm to help protect it on Monday, were damaged by flood waters.
CL&P has 400 of its own employees out on the road with 1,080 outside linesmen and tree crews from out of state. The day after Irene, CL&P had only 300 outside workers in Connecticut.
The utility faced heavy criticism for its response to the storms last year. Several state investigations followed that performance, resulting in new policies and coordination between the towns and the utilities.
Quinlan predicted the outages this time could last multiple days for some customers, but he did not go beyond that. He said its plan for restoration is "very robust," and they had ample resources with many customers having their power restored Tuesday.
Metro North and Amtrak service remained suspended Tuesday with crew members assessing the damage before they were comfortable making any predictions as to when it will be back online.
On Tuesday morning, Malloy lifted the travel ban on limited access highways, but all the schools in the state were closed and non-essential state workers were told to stay home for a second day. The governor said later Tuesday that all state employees should report to work today.
The governor, who has now faced a third major storm since taking office in 2011, said the damage this time was worse than Irene and that the number of homes damaged was in the hundreds.
"It is extraordinary the scope of the damage done to Connecticut including large parcels of land with many dwellings on it ... that continue to be partially submerged," Malloy said.
Malloy spent the day on the road visiting damaged areas, starting in Newtown and proceeding to Easton, Greenwich, Stamford, Bridgeport, Cosey Beach in East Haven, Old Saybrook and East Lyme.
Fire crews in Greenwich and Old Saybrook watched Monday as several homes burned in beach areas cut off by floodwaters. No injuries were reported in those fires.
In Greenwich, firefighters prevented the blaze from destroying another dozen buildings, Malloy said.
Malloy was worried Tuesday that thousands of residents would end of stranded in their homes because they failed to take the excavations orders seriously.
He gave the example of a Greenwich woman who praised his recommendations over several days, but she chose to ignore him anyways. Tuesday, her home was surrounded by seawater and she lost two cars.
CT Transit resumed bus service to most of the state on Tuesday and it is expected to be back to normal on Wednesday for New Haven and Stamford, a spokesman said.
The spokesman, Sam Zambuto, trees had fallen onto the tracks and in some cases, power lines were down. Zambuto said there was no flooding at Grand Central Station in New York.
Malloy said Tuesday that all sewage treatment plants are working, but there was some overflow and four are still depending on generator back-up.
"Suffice it to say, in the immediate future, no one should eat the clams or oysters," Malloy said.

I used tip #233 as I thought that one more closely resembled grass. I used chocolate covered almonds for the footballs, and that worked great. Very cute idea.

I couldnt find Easter eggs yet so I followed 1 of the reviews, to use tootsie rolls.They worked wonderfully. Made these with a group of kids for superbowl. They had a ball and they were delicious. We did make a hole in them and filled them with cheesecake filling.
Jan 28, 2012
Ron07, you do not need all of these ingredients, just get some chocolate Easter eggs and pipe the laces on the football and ou can use green coconut for the grass using green food coloring and put on your own cupcakes or store bought. How's that for easy?

I haven't made these yet but I think I will use chocolate easter eggs for the football.
Jan 2, 2012
too many ingredients.
Jan 2, 2012
Looking for something without the peanut butter? Tootsie rolls soften up nicely in the microwave and can be shaped into footballs. Just add the white accents.
Feb 6, 2011
These turned out really well. I used honey bunches of oats instead of granola and it tastes great. The only suggest I have is to dust your hands in powdered sugar when shaping the footballs. I found they stuck to my hands without it. They look great!!


text: Drawing a perfect circle is maybe the hardest thing one can do with a pen in hand. A straight line, while much easier to accomplish, is still a chore for some. With that in mind, designer Sunghoon Jung has dreamed up a concept for a tape measure that not only has a line guide in the middle of the tape, but also a series of dots you can anchor your writing instrument to so that you can scrawl a geometrically perfect circle. It doesn't hurt that the thing is easy on the eyes as well. [Yanko Design]

Markus Fuerderer-Cubeoled Luminaire
At Design Interviews
Interview with Markus Fuerderer : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Markus Fuerderer : Depth, Transparency and Contrast - Cubeoled interprets these fundamentals of visible light in a pure, subtle, monolithic design. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Markus Fuerderer : Concept: 1 Half-Marathon (~100 Minutes); Visuals: 1 week; Prototype (mock-up): 1 month; .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Markus Fuerderer : When activated, the integral array transforms this transparent monolith into an omni-directional light source. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Markus Fuerderer : self explanatory: cube + OLED = cubeoled .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Markus Fuerderer : 12 transparent organic light emitting diode (OLED) panels are arranged in an orthogonal coordinate system and laminated in between 8 optical/clear crystal glass cubes. Via transparent circuit paths applied on the inner glass surfaces, the assembled OLED panels inside the resin-laminated monolith are supplied with electricity. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Markus Fuerderer : The research for this project was focused on the use of existing transparent OLED panels for illumination purposes. To date there aren't any luminaires existing that are based on transparent OLED technology. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Markus Fuerderer : The most challenging part of purist/minimalist designs are the details: In this case, it is the technology of minimizing the visible parts of circuit paths and OLED bezels. .

TestimonyPhotographs by Gillian Laub
Availability: In stock
"To consider [these] images is to be reminded not just of human cruelty and human stupidity but also of human tenacity." –David Reiff
For the past four years, Gillian Laub has worked in Israel and Palestine. Testimony contains fifty of her portraits of Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs, displaced Lebanese families, and Palestinians—each personally affected by the geopolitical context in which they live, and each an essential element in the puzzle of Middle East peace.
In some of Laub's photographs, the traces of conflict are immediately observable—teenage boys without limbs; a young woman enveloped in scar tissue and a burn-recovery suit. Others are seemingly free from the disfigurements of violence. Yet in the interviews that accompany each portrait, a common thread of survival is revealed. Resilience, pride, defiance, vulnerability—and most astonishing of all, optimism—emerge from one statement to the next.
Two essays, one by Palestinian-Israeli civil rights lawyer Raef Zreik and one by Israeli professor Ariella Azoulay, underline the complexity of the work and the dialogue Laub hopes it will spark.
GILLIAN LAUB's portraits have appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Newsweek, Time, and the New Yorker. Laub graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in comparative literature, before studying photography at the International Center of Photography. She is represented by Bonni Benrubi Gallery, New York.

1Ah! Those who go down to Egypt for help,
who rely on horses;
Who put their trust in chariots because of their number,
and in horsemen because of their combined power,
But look not to the Holy One of Israel
2Yet he too is wise and will bring disaster;
he will not turn from his threats.
He will rise up against the house of the wicked
and against those who help evildoers.b
3The Egyptians are human beings, not God,
their horses flesh, not spirit;
When the LORD stretches forth his hand,
the helper shall stumble, the one helped shall fall,
and both of them shall perish together.c
4For thus says the LORD to me:
As a lion or its young
growling over the prey,
With a band of shepherds
assembled against it,
Is neither dismayed by their shouts
nor cowed by their noise,
So shall the LORD of hosts come down
to wage war upon Mount Zion, upon its height.d
5Like hovering birds, so the LORD of hosts
shall shield Jerusalem,
To shield and deliver,
to spare and rescue.e
6Return, O Israelites, to him whom you have utterly deserted.f 7On that day each one of you shall reject his idols of silver and gold, which your hands have made.g
8Assyria shall fall by a sword, not wielded by human being,
no mortal sword shall devour him;
He shall flee before the sword,
and his young men shall be impressed as laborers.h
9He shall rush past his crag* in panic,
and his princes desert the standard in terror,
Says the LORD who has a fire in Zion
and a furnace in Jerusalem.i
* [31:1] Seek the LORD: a technical expression for seeking a prophetic or priestly oracle, similar to the expression "asking my counsel" in 30:2. The prophet complains that Judah has decided on its policy of alliance with Egypt without first consulting the Lord.
* [31:9] Crag: the king as the rallying point of the princes. Panic: terror is an element of Israel's holy war tradition, in which defeat of the enemy is accomplished by the Lord rather than by human means (cf. v. 8).
a. [31:1] Is 5:12, 24; 18:2; 22:11; 29:15; 30:2; 36:6.
d. [31:4] Hos 5:14; Am 1:2; 3:8, 12.
e. [31:5] Is 37:35; Dt 32:11; Ps 91:4.
h. [31:8] Is 27:1; 34:5–6; 37:36.
