Self-portrait in the Kitchen
The task is simple. Take a picture of you in your kitchen. Since it seems I spend almost half my day in there, that wasn't too much of a problem for me. And it was kind of fun.
I chose to use my dishwasher.
This one is blurry, but I look a little happier to be doing the dishes than in the first one. :) Plus the dishes in the reflection of the pizza cutter are kind of in focus. Using a self-timer can really be an adventure!
Edited to add...another picture. I found this one from our family blog last year and thought it would fit the challenge well. It's fun to see my little Reid as a baby again. :)
Go here to get more info on the challenge and to see some really creative shots she did. She put her camera in her oven! So fun!

Too cool. It took me a second to realize that the camera was in the dishwasher...I look at pictures, then read. I have no dishwasher. I guess I could put my camera in the sink? Ha ha ha

Community Buys Own Supermarket – Mullumbimby NSW, Australia
Community Projects, Consumerism, Ethical Investment, News, Society, Village Development — by Brian Hedge March 24, 2012
The small community of Mullumbimby in the Byron Shire of northern NSW, Australia, is currently in the process of determining their own food supply future by purchasing their local supermarket.
This movement, which is gaining momentum daily at an amazing rate, began by chance, fate, serendipity — call it what you will. Greg Dutton, president of the local community garden approached Richard Storie, the proprietor of the local IGA supermarket, about selling the community garden organic seedlings outside the store. During this conversation he quipped, "If the seedling sale goes well I'll be back to buy the store". That's a lot of seedlings. Nevertheless an idea was conceived and now after a five month gestation period a movement has been born.

Back in 2009, Wikileaks released some diplomatic cables from the U.S. which revealed a list of priority countries for 'GMO outreach'. Peru was amongst those on the hit list.
Well, now it seems Peru has opted out….

We did it everyone! It is now official. The UMass Permaculture team will be heading to the White House on March 15! This has been an amazing and inspiring week to see the voting results unfold and be in the center of it all. I can't thank everyone enough for the support you've provided us with.
I'd like to share some reflections for how this week has been for me personally.
Comments (7)A Forest of Food in the Center of Seattle
Community Projects, Demonstration Sites, Food Forests, Land, News, Society, Urban Projects, Village Development — by Andrew Beard March 1, 2012
In the Beacon Hill community of Seattle a revolutionary community garden is being developed to feed her people. The Beacon Food Forest is transforming a previously unused piece of public land into a vibrant food forest filled with hundreds of different varieties of edible plants, fruits and nuts. The seven acre plot uses perennial crops and sustainable methods rooted in permaculture to create a source of food available to all.
Comments (3)Permaculture Goes to the White House… With Your Vote!
Community Projects, Demonstration Sites, Developments, Education, Education Centres, News, Urban Projects — by Ryan Harb February 25, 2012
I've got some incredible news to share with you! The permaculture initiative that I facilitate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (USA) has been selected by the White House as a finalist for the Campus Champions of Change Challenge award! This means we are in the final round and the general public is now voting for which teams will get a trip to the White House (judges selected 15 projects from more than 1000 applications!) The top 5 winners also get featured on a television program called 'The Deans List' on MTV.
Imagine the potential this has! This is by far the most important thing that I can be doing for the world right now — I truly feel that in my heart.
We have only 1 week to tally as many votes as we can – voting ends Saturday, March 3 at 11:59PM est (New York time!) Here's a short description about the student group that I oversee, and how to vote:
Comments (21)Kenya: Permaculture – Agriculture With a Green Touch
Aid Projects, Community Projects, Demonstration Sites, Developments, Education Centres, News, Society, Urban Projects — by Rosemary Quipp November 2, 2011
Editor's Note: This article appeared as the cover story for Kenya's main newspaper — the Daily Nation — helping give top exposure to the just-established PRI Kenya. Warren Brush (see also) sent this through, and has been the main driver in helping get PRI Kenya off the ground, or onto the ground, as the case may be. The article also appeared on AllAfrica.com. Here's hoping this new work in Kenya can help invigorate the real kind of 'development' that too many countries have detoured around in their search for happiness.
A green oasis nestles on the barren expanse that is Nairobi's south-east end, somehow managing to blossom between kennels of barking dogs and the exhaust fumes of an auto garage.
Overflowing with colourful vegetables and flowers, the lush patch of garden breaks the grey monotony of concrete and barbed wire, and provides a home to a dozen rabbits, chickens and quail.
Owned and run by the security and courier company Wells Fargo, this garden is the brainchild of the company's operations director, Ms Gai Cullen.
Comments (2)Cuba To Host Eleventh International Permaculture Conference (IPC11)

One of the tasks for attendees of each International Permaculture Conference (IPC) is to hear bids for hosting the subsequent IPC, consider the best option and to vote on it. Cuba, ground zero for the largest peak oil rehearsal the world has ever seen, easily carried the day. So, all eyes now look to November 2013 for IPC11 — an IPC with a distinctly Cuban flavour.
If you didn't catch it already, watch Roberto's IPC10 conference presentation here. And, below you can hear Wes Rowe talking to Cuba's Roberto Perez — representative of the Cuban Permaculture NGO, the Antonio Nunez Jimenez Foundation for Nature and Humanity — about his thoughts on the winning bid:
Comments (1)The PRI Restarts the Permaculture Teacher Registry
Community Projects, Courses/Workshops, Education Centres, Networking Sites, News, Village Development — by Craig Mackintosh PRI Editor October 19, 2011
Short Version
If you've been waiting to apply to be a PRI PDC Teacher, we are now ready to receive your application (English only at this point — but read the rest of the post below to find out more about other languages). To apply, simply log into the Worldwide Permaculture Network, ensure you've clicked on the 'Click if you are a PDC Teacher' link on the right side of your profile, and then click on the 'Apply to be a PRI PDC Teacher' link.
Long Version
In March 2010 Bill and Lisa Mollison's Permaculture Institute (PI) ceased taking applications for their long-running permaculture teachers' registry. As many immediately recognised, this left a gaping hole in the permaculture garment — one which needs to be filled if the movement is to maintain a reasonable standard of recognised education.
Accordingly, when the registry ceased, the Permaculture Research Institute (PRI) was suddenly flooded with "What now?" emails, and requests that we step in and take over the role of processing and verifying applications from permaculture teachers. This call came because existing teachers, and prospective teachers, all want to ensure that their students have confidence in the courses they're committing their fees to.
Before I share what we've sought to do to fill this void, I will try to expand a little more on the above about why we believe having a globally recognised teachers' registry is important and why we've been working hard to answer the many calls to facilitate this need.
Comments (19)The Rodale Institute's 30-Year Farming Systems Trial Report

The Rodale Institute's 30-year Farming Systems Trial report (1.3mb PDF) |
The Rodale Institute has been, for a full 30 years now, conducting a long-term comparative Farming Systems Trial. Starting in 1981, when it was already abundantly clear that industrialising nature was creating far more problems than it solved, the Rodale Institute began documented research comparing organically fertilised fields and conventionally fertilised fields on its 330 acre farm in Pennsylvania, USA.
It's the longest running comparative study of its kind in the world.
In time for their trial's 30-year anniversary, the institute has put out a report outlining its documented observations. You can download this report via the link at right.
This report is one of several well-researched reports that have come out in recent years, including the Union of Concerned Scientists' Failure to Yield report (which proves GMOs do not perform as claimed) and the IAASTD's 400-scientist-strong, 3-year worldwide study (which concluded we need to quickly transition back to relocalised, diverse, agroecological methods).
Comments (6)Permaculture Featured on New York Times
General, News — by Craig Mackintosh PRI Editor July 29, 2011
We all know the world is looking for answers to very pressing questions — so it's high time the mainstream media started to share them! As such, it's great to see the following article on the New York Times website. Thanks to New York Times writer Michael Tortorello, and well done to Wayne Weiseman, David Cody, Scott Pittman and the many others involved in this piece:
As a way to save the world, digging a ditch next to a hillock of sheep dung would seem to be a modest start. Granted, the ditch was not just a ditch. It was meant to be a "swale," an earthwork for slowing the flow of water down a slope on a hobby farm in western Wisconsin.
And the trenchers, far from being day laborers, had paid $1,300 to $1,500 for the privilege of working their spades on a cement-skied Tuesday morning in late June.
Fourteen of us had assembled to learn permaculture, a simple system for designing sustainable human settlements, restoring soil, planting year-round food landscapes, conserving water, redirecting the waste stream, forming more companionable communities and, if everything went according to plan, turning the earth's looming resource crisis into a new age of happiness.
It was going to have to be a pretty awesome ditch.
That was the sense I took away from auditing four days of a weeklong Permaculture Design Certificate course led by Wayne Weiseman, 58, the director of the Permaculture Project, in Carbondale, Ill. — The Permaculture Movement Grows From Underground
As per the New York Times, "A version of this article appeared in print on July 28, 2011, on page D1 of the New York edition with the headline: Growing From Underground."
Comments (0)Jail Time for Planting Front Yard Garden?
Alternatives to Political Systems, Consumerism, Food Plants - Annual, Food Plants - Perennial, Food Shortages, Land, News, Society, Urban Projects, Village Development, peak oil — by Craig Mackintosh PRI Editor July 17, 2011
This is by-law madness, and it'll have to change…. I rather blatantly encourage everyone to disregard dumb rules like this which would stop you from increasing your resiliency and demonstrating better use of your lawn space. The more of us who rebel against absurdity, the easier it becomes to legalise sustainability. I just hope you'll be smart enough to ensure that your lawn-liberation is done whilst keeping aesthetic standards high as well (i.e. don't give people justifiable reason to complain!). Julie Bass' nice tidy veggie planters, which you'll see in the videos below, are a good example, and only reflect all the more poorly on the neighbours who have complained and the local government who are obviously wholly ignorant of where we presently stand in history….
Vegetables are most definitely suitable!

Comments (0)Permaculture Comes to Aruba
Community Projects, Conferences, Courses/Workshops, News — by Amber Bacca May 28, 2011
Editor's Note: A former PRI Australia intern shares exciting news of efforts she has been successfully engaged in since her stay at Zaytuna Farm. Well done Amber!
A U.S.-based non-profit, Resilient Futures International, recently travelled to the beautiful island of Aruba to participate in the country's first Permaculture Fair, which took place between April 10-20, 2011. Over the course of a week, RFI presented the permaculture concept and methods to around 700 participants from various sectors of Aruban society, including but not limited to businesses, the tourism industry, and local NGOs.
Comments (7)Frank Fekonia
News — by Ecofilms March 7, 2011
I was very sad to hear of the passing of a true legend and active member of Permaculture Noosa – Frank Fekonia. Husband to Elisabeth, Frank was a true maverick character who told me how he escaped from communist Slovenia in the early 1960s by stealing a canoe and paddling night and day for the shores of Italy. Exhausted by the journey, he was picked up by Italian fisherman when he tumbled into the water off the Adriatic Coast. Eventually, as a refugee, he made it to Australia. A frustrated musician and trumpet player who was more used to the traditional Jazz and Swing sound of the 50s, he became a builder instead when the Beatles, he said, ended his career as a musician.
He eventually moved to Cooroy in Queensland and with little money built a three storey home – entirely out of concrete – from moulds he designed himself.

Layers of Security
Theft-deterrent systems fall into two general categories: active and passive. Active devices, as the name implies, require owners to take some action, such as setting the alarm, installing a locking device, etc. Passive systems require no action; they engage automatically once the keys are removed or the doors are locked. Engine immobilizers are a popular passive device.
Experts like Kim Hazelbaker, senior vice president of the Highway Loss Data Institute, and Ed Sparkman, an agent for the National Insurance Crime Bureau, agree that theft-deterrent devices don't guarantee your car's security but they decrease the chances for theft. Thieves spotting such devices likely will move on to easier-to-steal vehicles that aren't protected.
To that end, the NICB recommends what it calls "layered protection." The rationale states that the more layers of protection on your vehicle, the more difficult it is to steal.
The first layer of protection is simple common sense: remove your keys from the ignition; lock your doors and close your windows; and park in safe, well-lit areas.
The second layer of protection is a visible or audible device, which alerts thieves that your vehicle is protected. Besides audible alarms and visible protection devices, other favorites include:
- The vehicle identification number etched or written on all of the car windows and major parts of the vehicle that thieves know make it easier for the stolen car to be traced. This can be an inexpensive, do-it-yourself project because the number can be painted or written with an indelible marker under the engine hood, on the trunk lid or on the battery. Do-it-yourself kits can be bought for about $20.
- A brake-and-steering-wheel lock system that secures the steering wheel to the brake pedal and immobilizes the controls.
- A steering-wheel lock that consists of a steel rod that attaches to the wheel and hinders steering. Winner International has marketed its well-known lock, the Club, since 1986. Blockit Lockit Systems offers a menacing device called the Wrap. Prices range from about $40 to $75 for introductory models.
- An ignition and steering-column collar, which is made up of a lockable steel shield that encases the steering column to prevent access to the ignition. Most column covers are custom-made by aftermarket suppliers and usually apply to a certain make or model. Prices start in the low $30s.
Immobilizing devices comprise the third layer of protection. Tools such as starter disablers, fuse cutoffs and kill switches prevent thieves from bypassing the ignition and hot-wiring the vehicle. Other systems feature smart keys, which carry computer chips or coded radio frequencies. The engine can't be started without the exact key. Vehicles with engine immobilizers generally are stolen by hauling them away on flatbed trucks, a visible act that takes more time.
Tracking devices comprise the top layer of protection. These devices are systems that help recover stolen vehicles. Such systems as General Motors' OnStar communication service and LoJack allow police to track the vehicle if it is stolen. OnStar is available on more than 30 GM models.
LoJack installs a transmitter the size of a chalkboard eraser in one of 20 potential spots on a car. The location is kept secret so thieves can't easily disarm it. The transmitter starts working only when police, who receive a stolen-car report, activate it by remote control. This system also costs about $695 and is installed on new vehicles by a dealer or can be purchased directly from LoJack.
The Insurance Information Institute reports that LoJack offers more than a 90 percent recovery rate on stolen vehicles.
If you choose to install OnStar, LoJack or another tracking system, be sure to apply warning decals to your vehicle. By making them aware of these tracking devices, thieves may think twice before stealing your car.
What you drive should help determine the kind of protection you need. Heavier layers of protection should be considered if you drive a car that's a favorite among thieves, such as the Cadillac Escalade EXT or Nissan Maxima.

Is a transfer valve the same as a diverter? I want to be able to switch between a handheld shower and a rain shower.
With this transfer valve, can both the rain shower & handle shower run at the same time?
Can 3 outputs be run simultaneously?

I run a handful of large websites using .net - I love .net, I love C#
In asp.net 4, please give us the name of the 'object reference' that's not set to an instance of an object :)
I beg you, my life would change, as so would many others. If you're worried about some reflection cost, or whatever, at least make detailed errors an option.
I appologise if this is already included, i couldn't search for it - the term is way too common!
Nov 08, 2009 02:53 AM|LINK
That's a great idea. However I'm guessing there are technical reasons it's not possible.
The line number of the exception is given and if you follow the practise of doing no more than one programming step per line of code, it's pretty obvious where the problem is.
Nov 08, 2009 09:55 AM|LINK
Yeah that is a pretty good idea. When I saw the headline I thought it was going to be something like "make asp.net never get null references".
I wonder what the reason is that it hasn't been implemented....
Nov 08, 2009 12:21 PM|LINK
However I'm guessing there are technical reasons it's not possible.
Regarding line numbers, sometimes things fail within code you didn't write, code you dont even have access to.
I can think of a hundred reasons why I'd want it. I'm willing to bet many others have their own list.
Also, lurkers - you may want to digg this:
Nov 08, 2009 01:38 PM|LINK
Never assume something like that. This is computer software engineering - anything is (ofc) possible!
Sure anything is possible but at what cost? The extra baggage could slow the runtime down to a crawl.
If you write good code, it's not a problem.
One logical step per line of code. I would rather see the compiler modified to enforce this as a rule. Then, many programming 'problems' would be solved.
Nov 09, 2009 09:55 AM|LINK
The extra baggage could slow the runtime down to a crawl.
On one of my sites we're receiving 2,000,000 page requests a day. My site is complex, elegant and is written by myself and a team of newbies (though >3 years experience) who have found solutions to all the problems we've faced (one logical step at a time!)
I'm sure the amazingly intelligent and creative team at .NET can work out how to offset the minuscule cost involved, or even make it optional - as i suggested. I know I could.
Our company has fought away many coders who said 'well obviously it cant be done, as it's not there yet', or.. 'well, it's a nice idea but..' - if it's a nice idea we made it happen. We're careful, we're clean, and we're efficient and fast - so is our code.
I'm sure we could drag in another 200 people to say 'well, perhaps you should now place every line of code into a separate method, because you can see which method has failed' - no thanks. I'm sick of that, I don't use emacs, I've done this way too long to ever again look at a blank screen that says 'Operation may destabilize the runtime' also. I hate bland error messages, and a lot of us do.
I use this stuff on the front line. My code is running on servers in clusters, far away from me, my debugger, my comfort zone, behind viciously hardened firewalls. It's precompiled, stripped of any debug conditions, it is running in production mode and I haven't seen a line number in a stack trace in years. If i switched the production sites into debug mode I'd cause chaos. There are countless browsers, countless systems, countless combinations of external networks interacting in countless way:
And don't you think deploying .pdb files for line numbers has a performance hit in terms of storage space, lookups and deployment time for extensive networks!!!?
I don't want to see 'Object not set to instance of a reference' - I want to see
'xyz' not set to instance of a reference
I don't think it's too much to ask, and I know there are people inside .NET who could make it happen with their eyes closed and their hands tied behind their backs.
btw: this debate aside, great article of yours:
why sql updates fail - wish i'd read that a while back! :)
Nov 09, 2009 01:35 PM|LINK
Why do you think that feature isn't available now?
Nov 09, 2009 02:32 PM|LINK
Because it's not implemented yet.
The advantages far out weigh any perceived implementation issues. It's daft to assume something can't be done because it's not yet done. There'd be no computer science / arts / music / creation-in-general if that was the case?!
50$ says it's do-able. They're a hell of a team, and if it'll help the community it'll get done in one form or another.
Nov 09, 2009 02:43 PM|LINK
Because it's not implemented yet.
Think harder.

Katy Perry will be the subject of an upcoming comic book by Bluewater Comic Books. The comic is titled, Fame: Katy Perry and is part of the ongoing "Fame" series by the company that has featured such stars as Betty White, Lady Gaga and Angelina Jolie.
The graphic novel will reportedly depict Perry's upbringing as the daughter of two Christian pastors in addition to her struggles landing a record deal in Los Angeles.
Bluewater Comics past "Fame" issues have been disliked by the stars they focused on. Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber's reps even went as far as to serve the company with cease-and-desist letters concerning issues.
In addition to the comic book release, Perry's life will also be the subject of an upcoming 3-D movie, Katy Perry: Party of Me. The film is slated to be released on July 5.

We want to live our lives to the full, while keeping our planet healthy and beautiful so our children can do the same. Revolutionising the way we use and produce energy is not only necessary; it is the safest and easiest way to protect our way of life. It's time we chose a clean energy future.
Coal exported from Australia, when burnt, creates more greenhouse gas emissions than every other source of emissions in Australia combined. Right now, Australian mining companies are planning to double coal exports. This drives climate change even harder at a time when Australians are suffering its effects: extreme weather, bush fires, flooding and more. Greenpeace is working to halt the reckless expansion of coal exports by stopping new export terminals proposed for the Great Barrier Reef coast. Read more
Globally, the investment in the renewable energy industry is overtaking fossil fuels like coal. If the world fails to stop the last generation of coal power being, global climate change goals will not be reached. This is good news for people in China and India, where air pollution from coal power stations is killing thousands and sucking vital water sources dry. Greenpeace is speaking out in support of clean energy initiatives around the world by promoting a future that does not rely on fossil fuels for energy. Read more
1 May, 2013: Today the coal industry has been put on notice that the expansion of Australia's coal exports will be met with further peaceful resistance for as long as Australian governments fail to act on the problem.

NEWBERRY — In the Bible, people may have read about Joseph and his coat of many colors. But did those colors have special meaning or was his coat just made from many different pieces of cloth? The answer to that, we don't know.
However, there is a special afghan made of many colors where each color has a special meaning. Has this peaked interest about what this afghan may be?
Gayle Lindley, a cancer survivor and member of WELCA (Miriam Circle) at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer has made such an afghan. Lindley researched the colors of cancer and found there to be many different colors that represented various forms of cancer.
She moved forward in purchasing the different colors of yarn and began working on what has turned out to be an afghan, not only of beauty, but also with very special meaning. It took many hours for her to complete what WELCA calls its Let's Lick Cancer afghan.
The drawing for the afghan will take place on Sunday, Feb. 10 at WeLCA's soups and cornbread luncheon fund raiser in the Family Life Center at the Lutheran church.
Anyone who wishes to make a donation to become eligible to win the Let's Lick Cancer afghan may call the church office at 276-2003 or Anne Caughman at 276-8056. Tickets for the soup and cornbread luncheon may be purchased by call the church or Caughman.

The main goal for most of you is to get a job after college. My goal is to take everything you have learned so far in your broadcast or convergence classes and put it to professional use at KOMU or KBIA. In the end, those skills should help guide you into your next job.
This class is a capstone course. You can take it as a capstone and work on a research project. You can also take this class as an elective with a project component.
Students in this class have contributed work in collaborative efforts with newsrooms and projects that have helped bolster their online portfolios.
Don't feel intimidated, get excited. We are going to use this class to change the face of how we learn advanced Internet applications as journalists. We are going to think on high levels and realistic levels. In the end, we're going to figure out how you are going to get a job doing what you want to do as journalists, hopefully involving non-traditional web delivery.

Tom Moore, reporter
Wednesday, January 18, 2012
Many people are struggling to get through to January pay day, with bank balances still feeling the strain after Christmas, writes Tom Moore.
One money-making idea is to let out spare rooms. There are a lot of students or workers in London who would prefer living closer to work so if you live near a university then consider letting out a room.
A scheme more and more Londoners are doing to make extra money is letting out driveways for football supporters on match days.
Living near Premier League grounds could bring in between an average of 15 to 25 per game depending on which ground you live near, according to Parkatmyhouse.
Why not make some late New Year resolutions to save some extra cash?
One way to combine saving money with the popular resolution of getting fit is to walk or cycle to work.
This can save you money in two ways your cost of travel is lowered and you dont need to pay gym membership.
Money-saving tips:
1. Sell unwanted presents on eBay.
2. Check to see if buying single products are cheaper than a multipack.
3. Dont go food shopping on an empty stomach.
4. Check to see if you are getting the best interest rates on your savings account.
5. Keep a track of your bank account and budget accordingly.
6. Use a local library to get books you want to read.

In the following video, Guitar World's Paul Riario heads deep in the jungle to test out two new Slash signature pedals, the Dunlop SC95 Cry Baby Classic Slash Signature Wah and MXR SF01 Slash Signature Octave Fuzz.
Epiphone has been an eye-catching brand pretty much from the company's inception 140 years ago. In the early part of the 20th century, Epiphone's ornate, stylish New York City guitars provided stiff competition for the more staid models coming out of Gibson's Kalamazoo, Michigan, plant. So it is ironic that Gibson ended up owning the Epiphone brand, which it purchased in 1957.
There are probably more than 300 models of overdrive, distortion and fuzz pedals in production today. How do you decide which one is right for you? Well, good readers, it's time to practice your licks and get ready to blow some tweeters as we show you 10 things you should know before you buy a fuzz box.
The mechanics behind basic delay are simple: Play a note or chord into an audio-storage medium, then get that device to play that sound back to you — either once or multiple times — after whatever amount of time makes you happy. Of course, people have improved upon this simple formula, taking delay to new depths and heights, and often including an infinite assortment of types and combinations in one pedal.
The following content is related to the June 2013 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now, or in our online store.
Utah-based deathcore band Chelsea Grin will release a limited strand of guitars by Artist Series Guitar (ASG), a Los Angeles-based corporation that specializes in limited-edition guitars designed by recording artists.
From the overdriven sounds of Jimmy Page and Tony Iommi to the out-of-this-world prog tones of David Gilmour and Alex Lifeson, the Seventies were pivotal in creating some of the guitar sounds that are still being ripped of today's class of rock guitarists. Whether you're putting together the ultimate Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin tribute band or just trying to add a bit of vintage flare to your modern-rock masterpiece, the pedals on this list are sure to help you recapture some of that groovy Seventies magic.
Few guitars throughout history are as elegant, distinguished and iconic as the Gretsch White Falcon, a full-bodied behemoth once characterized by Guitar World's own Alan di Perna as "the indisputable gold-trimmed Cadillac Coupe DeVille of the electric guitar universe."

Wasps scrum-half Joe Simpson is set to be sidelined for up to a month due to a troublesome knee injury.
That is the word from Wasps rugby director Dai Young who said Simspon is unlikely to require surgery to the injury which he sustained during Wasps' Premiership victory over London Welsh last weekend.
"Thankfully it doesn't look like it needs an operation and at the moment he is looking at around 3-4 weeks of rehab which is much better than we first thought," said Young.

Resident files civil rights suit against Little Earth management By Gary Blair A Hennepin County Unlawful Detainer Court [eviction court] Judge called the case "strange." Littie Earth of United Tribe's management, the Westminster Management Corporation, said in their termination notice it was "material noncompliance" of the lease. On Wednesday of this week White Earth enrollee Bernadine (Rock) Gordon, resident ofthe Little Earth Housing Project located in south Minneapolis, was ready to have her eviction case heard when a last minute agreement was reached. That agreement will allowthe Native American mother of five to stay in her home for another four months, a place were she has lived for nearly seven years. The eviction agreement also offers her a letter of recommendation when she moves. But Gordon, who has filed a civil rights complaint against her landlord involving her 2-year-old son who has cancer, would not drop her complaint as part of the settlement. Her reasons for fighting the eviction included a number of issues that made the case unusual. According to Westminster's eviction notice, Gordon's oldest son was the focus of their complaint. They alleged that he used profanity to address the resident caretaker; wrote on Little Earth walls with markers; attempted to escape security through a second floor window; attempted to kick open a tenant's door while identifying himself as a "Vicelord" gang member; firing a 22 gage shotgun out of his window; and numerous curfew violations. "Oh, the mother is a very nice person, it was her son that was out of control," said one Little Earth Resident. Gordon says the things they alleged against her son were never cor roborated and her son is now working and doesn't live with her anymore. Little Earth residents the PRESS spoke with say difficulties with her ill child caused her to be away from home a lot and she didn't know what the oldest one (18) had been doing. The issues behind Gordon's eviction appear to be part of a growing movement to "clean-up" Little Earth as a result ofthe activities taking place during and since the Clyde Bellecourt drug selling days at the housing project. As a result of the new clean-up efforts, a nonprofit board of directors approved by HUD has been put in place and that group plans to purchase and manage the complex. PRESS sources say local HUD officials wanted to make sure that Clyde Bellecourt didn't have any input in their plans to sell the 22-year-old ur- Suit continued on page 3 Ruling on undercounting of minorities could benefit big cities New York, N.Y. (AP) Big cities could get more federal money and political muscle under a court ruling that said theBushadministration failed to justify the undercounting of minorities in the 1990 census. Southern California and Arizona also would gain a congressional seat each, at the expense of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, if the decision by the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is allowed to stand. States also could be forced to redraw congressional and legislative districts. "It is another step up the road of achieving equal votes for equal numbers of persons," said Robert Rifltind, a lawyer who helped argue the case for New York City. The ruling compares with such voting milestones as the 14th Amendment, women's suffrage and the voting Rights Act, he said Tuesday. The Clinton administration wouldn't say if it would challenge or accept the ruling, which likely would benefit Democrats by boosting the official population in areas with many minorities - mostly big cities that tend to vote heavily Democratic. It won't affect this fall's elections, but funding shifts could start within a few months, according to lawyers who argue the case. The Census Bureau has known for decades that minorities are more difficult to reach and therefore undercounted in the population surveys it takes every ten years. During the 1980s the agency devised a formula to statistically adjust the figures and better reflect the nation's true population. The adjustment would increase the nation's official 1990 population by about 5 million, to nearly 255 million, to offset undercounting of blacks, Hispanics, American Indians and those of Asian or Pacific island decent. The Census bureau estimated that Hispanics were undercounted in 1990 by 5.2 percent, American Indians by 5 percent, blacks by 4.8 percent and Asians and Pacific islanders by 3,1 percent. Court says tribe isn't immune to casino suit By Chris Ison Staff Writer Minneapolis Star Tribune The Minnesota Court of Appeals has ruled that an Indian tribe cannot claim sovereign immunity in a lawsuit brought by a former casino contractor, a decision that further weakens a key defense for many tribes in Minnesota and perhaps around the country. The ruling was based partly on a federally recognized charter that the Prairie Island Sioux in Red Wing and other tribes adopted more than five decades ago. Attorneys on both sides ofthe case, which involves a tour bus director working for Treasure Island Casino, say the decision could be devastating for many tribes. Outsiders' ability to sue tribes has become a major issue with the emergence of Indian gaming and other spin-off businesses. As tribes have begun conducting more business with outside contractors, lessors and others, and as they've begun hiring thousands of employees, litigation and potential litigation have increased. But tribes often have claimed they can't be sued in state courts because they are considered sovereign nations. The decision handed down Tuesday takes away that argument in this case and could weaken it in others. "The importance [ofthe decision] is that sovereign immunity is being chipped away at, particularly when it comes to business," saidattorney Craig Greenberg. Greenberg represents Brent Johnson a tour bus operator who was hired by the tribe and whose job was eliminated two months later, according to his suit. Johnson is suingfor $854,000 in back pay, claiming fraud and discrimination. He says the tribe persuaded him to AIM tribunal to reconvene in Minneapolis By Shelley Davis The tribunal ofthe Confederation of Autonomous Chapters ofthe American Indian Movement, which began in San Rafael, California is scheduled to reconvene in Minneapolis in September. The idea of a tribunal came out of Edgewood, New Mexico when 17 American Indian Movement chapters gathered and discussed similar situations they were having with the National American Indian Movement, Inc. (N-AIM) in Minneapolis. The Edgewood meeting occurred in December 1993. A five person panel of indigenous peoples found Clyde and Vernon Bellecourt (representatives ofN- AIM) guilty of subversion of the American Indian Movement (ATM), its principles and activities. It also found Clyde Bellecourt guilty ofthe use, sale and/or distribution of drugs and alcohol to American Indian people, according to the panel's statement. Other charges were not discussed due to the limited scheduling ofthe San Rafael tribunal. The remaining charges will be heard when the tribunal reconvenes and sentencing will be rendered upon its completion. The panel listened closely as a soft spoken young woman testified that Clyde had used drugs during "informal" meetings as recently as 1992. She stated she was 17 at the time she witnessed Clyde, Bill Means and her father getting "high" during these "informal" meetings and she said her younger siblings (one of whom was eight years old at the time) were present during the meetings. She said she was told the meetings were "informal AIM meetings." She also said Clyde and her father would give the young children attending the meetings marijuana. She said she had heard that some Indian youth had been selling drugs for Clyde. "And I would see kids come up to Clyde and ask if he... if Clyde could front money to them," she said. Joe Locust, panelist, stopped the young woman and asked, "You say, you have heard?" "Yes. And I would see kids come up to him and they would go off in private and talk," she replied. She was in Minnesota during that time after being released from a substance abuse treatment program and was trying to remain drug and alcohol free, she testified. Her testimony, along with documentation of Clyde's drug usage in the past, including a conviction in the 1980's for distribution, was brought forth to the panel as evidence. Evidence submitted concerning charge one, subversion ofthe American Indian Movement, its principles and activities included oral testimony from about one dozen people and documentation including statements made to the media by the Bellecourts and their associates, transcriptions of speeches, letters and position statements, as well as other documentation. Also available to the panel was the opening statement and invitation to Minneapolis which Clyde had presented at the opening ofthe tribunal. Oral testimony given included discussions concerning blood quantum, "legitimate" and ''recognized" AIM chapters, appointments of AIM chapters and leaders by the N-AIM (National American Indian Movement, Inc.) in areas where ADM chapters already exist and are actively functioning. Some of the testimony was documented by statements to the media by N-AJM and its recognized chapters and through telephone conversation transcriptions. Vernon said in an interview, in order for a group to be "legitimate" ADM chapter, the group must "have a board of directors from the within the Indian community." He said the chapters are sanctioned and must incorporate to get tax exempt grants from founda- AIM tribunal continued on page 4 Leech Lake man receives intertribal plaque/ pg 5 Indians need newspapers free of censorship/ pg 4 Aquash murder case reopened/ page 1 RLTC mtg. to reconvene-on item 9, 8/12/94/ pg 5 MIAC exec, director position readvert./ pg 6 i Voice of the Anishinabeg (The People) 1 The Fifty Cents But in 1991, Bush administration Commerce Secretary Robert Mosbacher rejected adjusting the count- even though he acknowledged that minorities were undercounted. He said it would "abandon a 200-year tradition of how we actually count people." The commerce Department oversees the Census Bureau. The government was sued by New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Houston and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Last year a federal court in New York City threw out the lawsuit, declaring that Mosbacher's decision wasn't arbitrary or capricious. The Appeals Court, in a 2-1 ruling Monday, sent the case back to the lower court and set a much stricter standard for the government to meet in defending a decision not to adjust the census count. Now the government must show the decision is "essential to the achievement of a legitimate government interest," notmerely that it wasn't arbitrary or capricious.

Photo by Tim Kjos White Earth group blockades road over owner/timber dispute By Nate Bowe and Tim Kjos Staff Writers Detroit Lakes Tribune Members ofthe White Earth Land Recovery Project blocked a Solway logging company from using a road to harvest Becker County owned timber Monday. The action caught Paul Lundberg, his son and employees by surprise early that afternoon, as well county officials. Tuesday, the Becker County commissioners and the county Natural Resources Department reviewed possible options if the stalemate couldn't be resolved. WELRP representatives claim the road leading to the 24-acre timber site owned by the county is on their property. WELRP owns 715 acres about 10 miles east of White Earth. The nonprofit organization purchased the property in 1992 as a means of restoring the White Earth reservation's land base. WELRP is not turning the property over to tribal trust, however. Lundberg began logging at the site last week. WELRP commumty organizer Robert Shimek discovered the activity Monday monu% while tending to unrelated matters at their property. By 1:30 p.m., Shimek and WELRP campaign director Winona LaDuke had parked two vehicles on the one- lane, tree-lined road to prevent travel to and from the logging site approximately one mile away. LaDuke and Shimek mowed some tall grass for a tipi and lit a "sacred" dampfire minutes before Lundberg arrived with a semi-truck and empty trailer to load timber. Lundberg was stopped by the blockade. "We're sorry that you're the one who has to be caught in this stuff," informed Shimek. "But we are the property owners here." Becker County sold the timber to Potlatchfor$2,817.50.Potlatchthem hired Lundberg and his crew to cut the timber, most of which is aspen and birch. "So we can't load it up and get it our of there?" queried Lundberg. "No," replied LaDuke, "There won't be any loads going out of there today." Added Shimek, "Maybe at some point there will, but it's not about you. It'sabout the wayBecker County has gone about the business of squandering these forests. There is a lot at stake here for us. To you, it's jobs, family, your home, mortgage payments on your equipment. But for us it's a way of life that's here in this forest that has sustained us as native people."

Aquash murder case reopened Piere, S.D. — There is a grand jury convening in South Dakota scrutinizing the death of Anna Mae Pictou Aquash, Indian activist and American Indian Movement member from Nova Scotia. Aquash may have been sexually assaulted before being executed in South Dakota during the mid seventies. Not too much other than this is known at this time, though August 16,1994 is a day scheduled to hear witnesses. Reports indicate that Dennis Holmes, Assistant U.S. Attorney, is heading the grand jury. In an unusual step, Bob Ecoffey, reputedly a U.S. Marshall, is one of the investigators and Sue Black of Grand Junction, Colorado is scheduled to be one ofthe witnesses. Anna Mae Aquash was staying at Sue Black's house just prior to being transported to Rapid City, South Dakota to her subsequent execution style murder. ?

News Releases
His Beatitude Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece concluded today, Wednesday May 22, his seven-day visit to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. His Beatitude was invited by Archbishop Demetrios and the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Boston to receive an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Theology.
The community of Saints Constantine and Helen in Brooklyn, NY observed three celebrations today. They celebrated the feast day of the their church, they commemorated the 100th anniversary of its founding, and they welcomed for the first time, the Primate of the Church of Greece who visited and co-celebrated an Archieratical Divine Liturgy.
His Beatitude Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece visited the headquarters of the Holy Archdiocese of America yesterday morning and officiated at a Doxology in the Archdiocesan Chapel of St. Paul. Present for the visit and service were diplomatic representatives of Greece and Cyprus, and clergy, leaders, and staff of the Archdiocese.
The Primate of the Church of Greece presided over the Liturgy and His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America concelebrated along with the two hierarchs from Greece who accompany His Beatitude, Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Messinia, and Bishop Gavriel of Diavleia and clergy from the Archdiocese of Athens and the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. The Divine Liturgy was broadcast live by satellite through various outlets around the world, in Greece, the United States, Canada, Australia and in some European countries.
Archbishop Demetrios of America conferred the honorary title to the Primate of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Greece following the citation by the President of Hellenic College Holy Cross, Rev. Fr. Nicholas Triantafilou. In the citation, Fr. Triantafilou portrayed His Beatitude as a Hierarch, a Shepherd and a Leader and in recognition of his exceptional intellectual, pastoral and ecclesiastical achievements in general asked the recipient for "the singular privilege of honoring you and joining your name with that of our sacred institution."
I would like to thank the All-Good God and His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America from the bottom of my heart for the highly honourable opportunity to partake of the joy of the celebration of these young theologians' graduation from the School of Theology of Boston and I am deeply moved indeed to be here in your midst.

Celebrating 10 Years of Success
SingleMuslim.com's ten years at the top
SingleMuslim.com, the world's leading online matrimonial agency for the Muslim community, has extra reasons to celebrate during Ramadan 2010. The company is also marking the tenth anniversary of its launch - ten years in which the company has brought about 10,000 marriages.
Around half of the site's users are British Muslims, meaning that ten percent of the UK's two million Muslims are registered with SingleMuslim.com, and the site receives over 20,000 unique visits every day.
Founder and Managing Director Adeem Younis came up with the idea for SingleMuslim.com when he was just 19 and at college. Many of his male friends had already completed their education, had professional qualifications, and came from good families, but were unable to meet suitable marriage partners. Adeem recognised that Muslim males and females tended to stay in their separate groups, so opportunities to get to know each other socially were limited.
Adeem said: "As a web designer, I found myself becoming increasingly preoccupied with trying to develop a modern solution for that age-old problem: how to find a way for Muslims to meet potential partners in an Islamically safe environment?
"Marriage is extremely important in Islam – it completes our faith – so I started to wonder whether there were any unexplored avenues that might provide a solution. And that's when I had the idea for SingleMuslim.com."
On 1st August 2000, Adeem launched the website from his small office, above a fast food shop in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Friends and contacts in the local community helped the venture to get off the ground, offering support with website development, photography, and other essentials.
"Although I, and the friends who'd helped me get so far, had pretty low expectations of how the site would be received, it was still a great moment when we pushed the button and announced SingleMuslim.com to the world", said Adeem.
Creating a halal environment
The company's biggest challenge was encouraging the Muslim community to accept SingleMuslim.com as a viable, safe and halal facility that could complement the more traditional methods of finding prospective marriage partners. Many in the Muslim community still view the Internet as an unsafe, inappropriate environment, and some believe that those who use the Internet to find a partner are, in some ways, less devout than Muslims who use only the 'tried and tested' traditional approaches.
"We fully expected to encounter sceptism and resistance from day one," said Adeem. "Marriage is an extremely important part of our faith and there can be a lot of pressure to find a 'good match', whether through arranged marriages or not. In turn, weddings are one of the most important occasions in Muslim life. Tradition is so important within our culture, so encouraging Muslims to consider the Internet as a means of finding a marriage partner was always going to be a challenge."
No wonder, then, that the company takes so much time to reassure people that the site is run by Muslims, for Muslims, and for the sole purpose of helping users to find a marriage partner.
SingleMuslim.com takes a zero-tolerance approach to inappropriate behaviour, enabling it to to create a modern, totally safe, Islamically sound environment. All user profiles are vetted by members of the SingleMuslim team, not by a computer, so users can be confident that all the profiles and photos they see are genuine.
Currently, there is a 2:1 ratio of men to women using the website, which reflects some of the lingering cultural perceptions of using the Internet to find a marriage partner. But the number of women registering with SingleMuslim.com is on the increase. "The ratio used to be 6:1," said Adeem, "so we started offering complimentary Gold Membership to women. Culturally, it is a bigger step for women to join something like SingleMuslim.com, and we wanted to do something to make their decision a little easier."
The benefit of experience
SingleMuslim.com's ten years at the top is the result of hard work, determination, and a professional approach to business. The company now has a reputation for its reliability, discretion and sound Islamic principles, and has earned the trust of the Muslim community.
In part, this is because the company advises members to involve their family at every stage of the process. Adeem said: "Our members are often surprised by how much they can benefit from the advice, knowledge and experience of their families, even in this sort of virtual environment. It's also good to have your family around if you're using the LiveChat facility; they can see the sort of person you're 'talking' to online, and gauge for themselves whether or not they'll be a good match."
"Above all, be open minded about what to expect from SingleMuslim.com. The website doesn't differentiate profiles by caste or sect – we believe that piousness should be the most important characteristic, not what class they belong to. We know that countless people meet on Singlemuslim.com who would ordinarily never have the opportunity to meet in the normal course of their lives.
"That's one of the things I'm most proud of, and it's the real beauty of SingleMuslim.com."
Measures of success
In the early days, Adeem would hand out leaflets promoting the site at Muslim events, and was never sure how they would be received. He said: "There was one time when I thought our leaflets had got us into trouble. I was handing them out at a Mosque after a visit from an Islamic scholar. The Mosque was packed out and we must have distributed hundreds of flyers. Then someone asked "who was responsible for SingleMuslim.com" a friend pointed me out. To be honest, I thought he was going to tell-me-off for running the website.
"I couldn't have been more wrong! It turned out that he had met his wife on the website and he wanted to thank me. That was just six months after we'd set up the site, so it was an incredibly rewarding moment for me, and it repaid a lot of my faith in what I was trying to achieve. Since then, I've never looked back."
By the end of 2002, the site had over 10,000 registered users registered. Friends and family were even starting to ask Adeem to be a 'matchmaker' for their own children. But it wasn't just friends and family who were sitting up and taking notice. In 2003, at the age of just 22, Adeem was regional finalist in the Yorkshire and Humber Shell Livewire Young Entrepreneur awards and the subsequent local, national and international media coverage drove more traffic to SingleMuslim.com.
By June 2005 there were over 50,000 active accounts on the website, and just eighteen months later SingleMuslim.com welcomed its 100,000th user. There are now over 1 million members, and 500 new accounts are created every day.
10,000 marriages to date
After the first matrimonial success in 2000, the site's users began reporting marriages on a weekly basis, with many sending in letters and photos in gratitude. Incredibly, for the last three years, SingleMuslim.com has learned of an average of four new marriages every day, and the company is now hearing about the babies that many of the marriages have been blessed with. "It is amazing to think that so many people have married and are now bringing new lives into the world as a direct result of an idea I had ten years ago" admits Adeem, "and it is always a genuine pleasure when someone comes up to me to say that they or their friends have married as a result of SingleMuslim.com."
The number of marriages brought about by SingleMuslim.com is likely to be significantly higher than the 10,000 the company is aware of. Many users do not like to share their success – despite the offer of free Umrah trips to the Holy Land for those who do share their stories – and many do not feel comfortable admitting publicly that they used a website to find their marriage partner.
Adeem says, "We respect our users' wishes and right to privacy. The fact that more and more couples are willing to share their success stories with us and the users of the site shows that the stigma within the Muslim community about using the Internet has definitely reduced."
The human touch
The SingleMuslim team is technologically astute and has access to the best modern technology has to offer. Adeem said: "The team abides by firm Islamic principles to ensure that the site is Islamic, secure, and halal, which is all part of our commitment to providing an unrivalled Muslim matchmaking service that offers members user-friendly facilities and features, giving them the best possible chance of finding a partner."
SingleMuslim.com's success is due in large part to its use of cutting-edge technology and a commitment to 'the human touch'. The company's database of users has now reached what the company believes to be a self-sustaining critical mass, and the site runs a powerful search engine that lets users search for a marriage partner using practically any criteria they care to name. For instance, users can filter their search results by location and occupation, age and even height, and from how often users pray to whether or not they have a beard or wear the hijab.
Adeem said: "When we launched the company ten years ago, there was very little competition. It's testimony to the work we put in to SingleMuslim.com, and our commitment to providing an excellent service, that we're still leading the field a decade later. Other companies come and go, but none offers the consistency and quality of support of SingleMuslim.com."

I like chewing on these, but I enjoy sour flavors. Someone with a sweet tooth may not appreciate the tartness. They could also be swallowed whole. I only wish there were more tablets per bottle.
