The Master of Fine Arts in Writing program at Vermont College of Fine Arts allows students to earn a 64-credit MFA degree over a two-year period through a combination of ten-day, on-campus residencies followed by six-month semesters of self-created study, supported and guided by a dedicated faculty mentor.
Writing students focus on fiction, poetry, or creative nonfiction and may opt for a special concentration in translation as well. There are also opportunities for dual-genre and cross-discipline study, including Writing for Children & Young Adults.
The ten-day residency is a vibrant time of workshops, seminars, lectures, discussions, and readings by faculty, graduating students, and visiting writers from all over the country. Students participate in small, intensive, faculty-guided workshops in which each writer's work is carefully examined. Special workshops are regularly offered in translation, the novel, cross-genre, and other focused topics.
Residency allows students to spend time immersed in the small town of Montpelier, Vermont, in historic Slovenia for a summer residency, or in the culturally rich landscape of Puerto Rico for a winter residency.
Whether on the Vermont campus or abroad, the MFA in Writing program offers an exceptional diversity of perspectives, attitudes, and voices. Students are challenged, inspired, and affirmed by this tight-knit, nonhierarchical community of writers. Students and faculty stay on campus and have plenty of opportunities for informal exchange over meals or at events, creating a group of writers whose powerful relationships and artistic support systems endure long past graduation.
Our 5:1 student-faculty ratio guarantees a high level of individual attention and fosters close relationships between students and faculty mentors. Residencies are the time for students to choose their faculty advisor, develop a unique individualized study plan for the coming semester, and gain both direction and inspiration for the semester work ahead. Students generally choose a different advisor for each semester, ensuring a wide range of input and a diverse mentorship experience.
Semester Work
Following residency, students return home to devote a minimum of 25 hours per week to their self-created reading and writing curriculum.
Semester study plans are designed around students' individual goals and passions, and are born out of intensive dialogue with faculty mentors. While the semester's work is termed "independent study," students are closely supervised every step of the way and maintain a constant dialogue with faculty and peers.
The main focus of the semester is creative work, supplemented by a substantial reading list and critical analysis appropriate to individual backgrounds, interests, and needs. Students send "packets" of creative and critical writing to their faculty mentor every month. Faculty advisors tailor feedback and critique to meet the student's individual needs, while maintaining an academic rigor that has marked our program's success. Each member of our faculty is highly invested in student progress and artistic growth, and students feel both challenged and supported by the sustained dialogue with writers of national reputation.
Our mentorship model provides students with the crucial combination of solitude and community artists need. After the vibrant residency, the semester provides a welcome change: concentrated periods of reading and reflection; focused, on-going dialogue with a mentor; and hours and hours of writing.

"The goal of all creative writing, Rilke tells us, is to change our lives. In the nearly thirty years that I have taught at Vermont College of Fine Arts, I have seen time and again how indelibly the MFA in Writing Program has transformed budding writers' lives—simply (and mysteriously) by helping them to realize their potential as artists. This seems to me a small but crucially good thing in this world, a world very much in need of the virtues good writing can offer it."

Lady Courtenay, the former Miss Elizabeth Bennet, was convinced she could never fall in love again after the death of her first husband. That was before she met Fitzwilliam Darcy, a man she first despised, then befriended, and eventually grew to love in a way she never knew was possible.
The newly married Darcys, along with Elizabeth's young son, have just settled into their happily ever after when a chance encounter arises with the condemned murderer of the late Lord Courtenay. On his way to the gallows, the man divulges a shattering truth, a secret that contradicts everything Elizabeth thought she knew about the tragic circumstances of her first marriage. Against the advice of everyone who loves her, including Darcy, Elizabeth begins to ask questions… but will the truth, when it is known, destroy them both?

If you are late, you have to pay a price. Normally it's the social price of mild shame, but what happens when you are asked to pay an economic price instead?
The front page of yesterday's Metro announced a £60 fine imposed on parents if their children are late for school. At first blush this might seem like an obvious solution to a simple problem: to deter an unwanted behaviour, make it less attractive by imposing a monetary fine on it. But research from behavioural science shows that this model of change does not always pan out in real life.
The question is whether and how this £60 fine will affect parents' actions; to this end research by Uri Gneezy and Aldo Rustichini detailed in their paper "A Fine is a Price" offers a potential answer. The researchers tested the effect of imposing a fine on parents for late collection of their children from a child care centre, and found, perhaps surprisingly, that late pick-ups increased under the fine.
The researchers tested the effect of imposing a fine on parents for late collection of their children from a child care centre, and found, perhaps surprisingly, that late pick-ups increased under the fine.
Whereas prior to the implementation of the fine policy parents would typically feel guilty about coming late, the monetary penalty served as a way to "pay" for their tardiness, thus absolving them of their guilt. It seems that for many people simply paying a fee is preferable to the emotional penalty of feeling ashamed or guilty. The take home message from Gneezy and Rustichini's research is that introducing a monetary penalty can change a context from being a social transaction to a market transaction, and once this change occurs, it is very hard to revert back to the original relationship which is guided by social norms.
According to the Metro article, at least someone is aware of this risk. "Chris McGovern, of the Campaign for Real Education, warned: 'They could undermine relations between school and parents – the cornerstone of any school's success.'"
It is possible, if not likely, that the £60 fine policy being imposed by three schools in Milton Keynes would fall prey to the same surprising results as the child care centre experiment, where the intrinsic motivation to be on time is crowded out by extrinsic drivers. But the £60 policy may have other surprising consequences too, due to the conditions of the fine. According to the article by Le Marie, the fine is imposed on parents for each child who is late 10 or more times in a 12-week term, payable within 21 days. If the fine goes unpaid it doubles to £120 payable within 28 days.
Firstly, the policy changes the norm. Since a child needs to be late 10 times to get the fine, those parents or carers who are frequently late - say 6 or 7 times in a 12-week term - might change their point of reference. Perhaps they will no longer compare themselves to the ideal (always on time) but instead to the most salient marker (which now is being late 10 times), so rather than feeling relatively bad about their tardiness they may start to feel "better than average" or at least "better than the worst".
Secondly, one could question the efficacy of such steep non-payment (or late-payment) penalties. A 100% penalty would be considered heavy, even compared to the oft-vilified payday loans (on average charging a £12-£25 late fee on a £100 loan). Behavioural economist Sendhil Mullainathan and Psychologist Eldar Shafir explain in their book Scarcity that humans' cognitive resources are limited, and when we are struggling to deal with not having enough of something such as time or money, our decision-making ability is impaired.
In effect, we become so busy trying to juggle certain pressures that we don't have the mental energy left to deal with other challenges, such as, for example, bringing our child to school on time. One way to mitigate this sub-optimal decision making in the peripheral domains is to relieve some of the pressure on the major problem (e.g. lack of time or money) – exactly the opposite of slapping an expensive fine onto a parent, potentially further exacerbating the underlying issue.
This point was echoed by Netmums founder Siobhan Freegard's statement that "'Children who are frequently late to school are often from chaotic family backgrounds. Taking money away from struggling parents could just make a bad situation worse.'"
Last November an article in The Guardian noted that parents wishing to take their children out from school for holiday during term time would be faced with a similar fine. The initial results of this policy show that applications for taking children out of school have in fact increased since its introduction.
It is yet to be known whether Milton Keynes's borough-wide £60 fine policy will change rates of tardiness. But both the behavioural science research and the failure of the term-time holiday penalty suggest that the policy will not work. These effects, surprising to many, illustrate why it is so important to question our underlying assumptions about human nature, and to trial interventions on a small scale before rolling out a large scale policy change.

The Natural World Has Moved!
There's a lot of very exciting things going on over here at The Natural World! For starters, we have moved to a new domain name, you can now follow us at https://thenaturalworldconnections.wordpress.com/. The new blog gives me a fresh start, and more flexibility with how I can display the images that I upload to the blog. I am going to be keeping this blog here in its current capacity, with the caution that a number of my older posts do not adhere to the stricter levels of accuracy and discipline that I will have on the new blog. So enjoy the old posts, but take the information contained within them with a grain of salt. I hope, at one point, to go back through the blog and indicate which posts I still fully approve of.
I have also started The Natural World Podcast, which (if all goes according to plan) should be accessible on iTunes very soon, and I will also upload the episodes in a playlist on my YouTube channel. HERE is a link for the playlist, and you can check out the first episode below.
In another playlist on my YouTube channel, I have been uploading my Semester at Sea videos that I made of the voyage (you can find the playlist link by clicking HERE). Unfortunately, since I was in the middle of the ocean in areas that didn't really have Internet access for most of the semester, I didn't get around to uploading these videos until just a week ago, which was when I discovered that many of the songs I used in the background are copyrighted in such a way that the audio tracks are simply removed from the videos, making them strange, fast-paced silent movies. Nevertheless, check the videos out, as they are visually appealing, even without the audio tracks. Below is a link to one of the best videos in the series, from South Africa!
I've got some other exciting projects in the works as well, and I will be sure to keep you updated on all of them! In the meantime, make sure to follow us over to Wordpress, and follow the YouTube channel, as well!

This is probably the last of my cards for Deedee's Digis. Since the shop is closing in another couple of weeks (at the end of the year), I won't be doing any more DT cards for Deedee. That doesn't mean I won't be using any of her digis. I love the precious style of her images and have a huge collection which I've built over the years. I'll be using those on many projects in the future, especially at Christmas and Easter.
Remember, all the images in her shop are 75% off between now and the time the shop closes. That means every single set is under a dollar! Don't miss out -- get over there and shop 'til you drop. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

APPLE VALLEY — A Purple Heart recipient and World War II POW who was rescued from Austria's Stalag-17 by Gen. George Patton claims he's being denied access to a local medical facility.
Retired U.S. Army Air Corp Tech Sgt. John Sarico, 94, who was shot down during a bombing run over France in 1944, claims that officials at St. Joseph Health, St. Mary have denied him access to the medical center's property.
For nearly 20 years, Sarico has received treatment and has helped patients as a volunteer assistant at the Cardiac/Pulmonary Rehabilitation Department at the medical center on Highway 18 in Apple Valley.
Anne Sarico told the Daily Press her father's medical center volunteer ID was recently "confiscated" by a hospital security guard who told the veteran he could no longer be on the property.
"The rehab department is like my family," said John Sarico, who sat in a room adorned with medals, awards and commendations from local, state, federal, nonprofit and medical officials. "I don't know what I'll do if I can't be on hospital property."
Hospital spokesman Ryan Orr told the Daily Press that "St. Joseph Health, St. Mary treats their volunteers with the same dignity and respect as their staff."
"As part of this promise, we protect their privacy, and do not comment on the details of their service," said Orr, in an email received Friday. "In terms of patients, we do not deny access to care to anyone on an emergent basis."
Anne Sarico said she believes the riff with the medical center began about two months ago when her father had a "run in" with a hospital employee in the rehab center.
"My dad was concerned about a patient on a treadmill that wasn't being monitored correctly by a medical attendant," Anne Sarico said. "He told me he corrected the employee for their lack of attentiveness and left for the day."
Medical officials told Anne Sarico her father had an "outburst" at the rehab center and they were "concerned" for the safety of their staff and patients. They also said having him on the property was a "liability."
"My father had a six-main artery bypass at age 76 and he's been working out at the rehab center regularly for the last 18 years," Anne Sarico said. "He also volunteers on a regular basis at the center and people just love him."
John Sarico began volunteering at the medical center soon after his wife, Edith, passed away. A small memorial to his wife sits in front of the veteran's fireplace, which includes a crucifix, flowers, dolls, angel figurines and letters that celebrate the couple's 35 years of marriage.
Anne Sarico said Friday marked the one-month anniversary since John Sarcio last worked out at the rehab center, adding that she's concerned for the health and well being of her father.
"He risked his life on the battlefield to save the lives of others, now he's being denied the one thing that gives him life," she said. "I don't want his spirit broken by not having access to his friends and those people that he loves to serve."
Anne Sarico is working with her father's physician to get the veteran into some physical therapy. She has also contacted the California State Office of Health Information Integrity.
In an earlier interview with the Daily Press, Rebecca Miranda, director of volunteer services, said John Sarico is a household name and a celebrity at the medical center.
"I think John is the most tenderhearted and giving volunteer that has been here," Miranda said. "He has touched so many live here. He truly is a legacy."
Miranda's sentiments were echoed by the dozens of well wishes from medical center staff that were handwritten on a large poster-size birthday card hanging next to his military honors inside the veteran's home.
During a bombing run over France in 1944, John Sarico was severely burned while trying to help a belly-gunner out of his turret while fuel poured directly onto a white-hot exhaust section of the aircraft that was hurtling toward earth.
"He was burned pretty badly, and we were the last two that bailed out of the bomber before it went down," said John Sarico in a 2012 interview with the Daily Press. "The Germans captured me and I spent 13 months with 4,000 other prisoners. It literally was hell on earth."
During the spring of 1945, the Germans marched the prisoners 281 miles west, as American and Russian armies began to close in from different directions. "Next thing we knew, the Germans surrendered to us and we were free," John Sarico said.
"My father has lived quite the life and he still wants to serve others," Anne Sarico said. "We're hoping that St. Mary's will have a change of heart."

Posted 24 June 2017 - 10:28 PM
I assume you're referring to the tape on the outside of a full reel.
If that's the case, I use paper tape and a standard dispenser. That's kind of the industry standard.
A long time ago, they used a plastic tape, you can use pretty much any "magic tape" solution like scotch tape. Just cut it into little strips and it works fine. Sometimes the really good dispensers cutting tool is good enough.
Posted 25 June 2017 - 02:56 AM
If you're using a tape splicer, a bit of splicing tape will do. Just fold a tab into it so it can be pulled off easily. It's good for about 35 years, but I recently had some 16mm in from 1975-6 and many of the tape splices parted. But that's the quid pro quo for its not turning sticky with age. Ordinary adhesive tapes tend to do that.
My own splices from 1978 onwards are fine. I assume it depends on the brand of tape.

Posted 25 June 2017 - 06:29 AM
We use acid-free artists tape. Paper backing, low tack adhesive (that doesn't leave residue on the film), and it's something you can order on Amazon in a variety of widths. We use 1/4" for 8mm and 3/8 or 1/2" for 16mm/35mm.
A roll lasts a really long time, so don't be put off by the cost of the tape ($10/roll or so).
Posted 03 July 2017 - 05:47 PM
Those 3 inch diameter fat rubber bands that various office supply places sell work great for the 50ft reels. I put a twist on one while placing it on the film and it makes it easier to grab the rubberband to remove it. I do suggest the film be snug on the reel and not loosely wadded up of course. The tape suggestions are good too. You can get a bag of rubberbands for pretty cheap though and they are reusable as well.

Telehealth Terminology: 'Store-and-Forward' Has its Fans - And Critics
Advocates say the asynchronous platform gives doctors time to apply best practices to a telehealth visit; critics say it isn't the same as a real-time encounter.
- The ongoing battle in Arkansas over new telemedicine guidelines is shining a spotlight on "store and forward" technology.
Long considered the alternative to real-time (or live interactive) telemedicine, store and forward (or asynchronous) telemedicine generally gives a clinician time to review data before beginning a session. As defined by the Department of Veterans Affairs, it's "the acquisition and storing of clinical information (e.g. data, image, sound, video) that is then forwarded to (or retrieved by) another site for clinical evaluation."
According to the Center for Connected Health Policy, store and forward "can include X-rays, MRIs, photos, patient data and even video-exam clips (and) primarily take place among medical professionals to aid in diagnoses and medical consultations when live video or face-to-face contact is not necessary."
"Because these consultations do not require the specialist, the primary care provider and the patient to be available simultaneously, the need for coordinating schedules is removed, and the efficiency of the healthcare services is increased," CCHP states.
While real-time video visits are generally considered to be the sexier version of telehealth, several commercial providers rely on asynchronous platforms, with clinicians reviewing data sent to them or stored in the cloud and then connecting with the patient via phone, text or e-mail.
READ MORE: Can Clinical, Commercial Uses Coincide on a Telehealth Platform?
"This gives the clinician the time to make a judgment in an informed way," says Kevin Smith, chief clinical officer for Zipnosis. He sees asynchronous telemedicine is being more clinically focused than video visits because the interaction between clinician and patient is guided by best practices on decision support. .
"This model guides patients through structured, adaptive interviews developed from national best practice guidelines," Smith wrote in a recent letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Internal Medicine. "A systematic method also leads providers through curated pathways based on patients' medical histories. Treatment options are limited to the most appropriate choices supported by evidence-based protocols, thereby reducing variability."
In Arkansas – reportedly one of the last states to consider expanding telemedicine – questions about what that model should include is holding up passage of new guidelines.
A legislative panel in the state has refused to sign off on proposed telemedicine legislation after opponents cried foul on a last-minute change to the definition of store and forward technology. The change, inserted after the proposed rules had completed a period of public comment, clarifies that a patient completing an online questionnaire and sending it to a doctor does not meet that definition.
Such a ruling, if passed into law, would prohibit telehealth providers who base first-time visits with a patient on a questionnaire from operating in the state.
READ MORE: Direct-to-Consumer Telehealth: One Hospital's Virtual Care Plan
The proposed legislation, Act 887, defines "store and forward technology" as the transmission of a patient's medical information from the office of a health-care professional to a provider at a different site without the patient being present; as such, the rule states, it is not telemedicine and is not restricted by the law.
Also in the proposed legislation is language restricting the "originating site" of a telehealth encounter to a doctor's office, clinic or similar healthcare site. This effectively eliminates the home, or any other non-clinical location where a consumer might want to have a conversation with a doctor about a health-related issue.
Those restrictions would not only curb telehealth providers like Zipnosis and Teladoc (which does a vast majority of its business via telephone), but they hamper large businesses who offer the platform to their employees as a health benefit.
That argument points to yet another ongoing conflict between telehealth advocates and healthcare providers who aren't sold on the technology – the contention that a doctor and new patient must first meet in person to establish a relationship. It's why only a handful of states, according to the American Telemedicine Association, reimburse for store and forward services in their Medicaid programs, and why many limit the practice to specialties like dermatology, pathology, radiology and ophthalmology.
Jon Pearce, Zipnosis' co-founder and CEO, feels the healthcare industry has to do a better job selling virtual care – be it asynchronous or real-time telemedicine – to the skeptics. With store and forward, he argues that the platform, used properly, gives the clinician all the tools he needs ahead of time to treat a patient.

"The focus in this case really is on the provider," he says. "With (store and forward technology), he or she really is providing evidence-based care."

Ben Stainsby's strike extended Melton's winning run to 15 and condemned title rivals Saffron to only their second defeat of the season.
The result maintained Melton's three-point lead over second-placed Sileby Town, and more importantly put clear daylight between themselves and the two other teams to have applied for promotion to step six: Saffron and Friar Lane.
The home side started at a terrific tempo and immediately put Saffron on the back foot. Two early penalty shouts were turned down when a Saffron defender handled in the area and when the keeper clipped Aaron Black.
Melton thought they had the lead when Clayton met a corner, but his effort was cleared off the line. The visitors posed a few threats in attack, but again Mowbray's defence looked unbreakable with Leon Fray, in particular, looking very solid.
The only goal came after 28 minutes when Aidan Black collected the ball deep in his own half and burst past two Saffron players before playing the ball inside to Palfreyman.
He sent it wide to Aaron Black on the left who sprinted past his marker and found Baker. He glided around three players to the byline and pulled the ball across the six-yard box for Stainsby to finish a well-worked goal.
Melton continued to dominate up to half-time with stylish play and great endeavour, but couldn't add to their tally.
The home side also started the second half at a good tempo as Stainsby forced a good save from the keeper.
Dynamo upped their game and started to ask more questions as they imposed themselves. But Melton stood tall with more resolute defending and Cragg made a wonderful save.
Yet it was still Mowbray who had the better chances to score with the keeper saving well again when Stainsby was put clean through on goal before the same player shot inches wide from 15 yards.
The visitors looked likely to nick a point late on when a Cragg save broke to a Saffron player who had a free shot at goal, but Fray somehow cleared off the line.

The Depression Stage of Grief
"I can't do anything, I am too sad." These are statements made by a person passing through depression stage of grief. Although anger and sadness remain at the base, the person feels numb. As one comes face to face with the reality of living life after losing someone they loved, depression sets in. Empty feelings surface and the grief enters on a deeper level, much deeper than we had ever imagined.
The depression stage of grief feels as though it will last forever. Here, its important to comprehend that this depression is not a sign of any mental illness. It is the right and natural response to a great loss. As we are left in a fog of intense sadness, we tend to withdraw from life. One often words if there is any point in moving on alone.
The emotions in depression stage of grief are too often seen as unnatural. People expect you to snap out of it fast and fix the emotions. The loss of a loved one is a very depressing situation to be in. It would be unusual to not to experience any depression after a loved one dies. So look at depression as a normal and appropriate response.
The first question to ask yourself in the depression stage is to analyze if the situation you're in is actually depressing. When a loss completely settles in your soul and the comprehension that your loved is not coming back ever is understandably depressing. Depression is one of the many necessary steps along the way to help you heal.
Generally, two types of depression are related with mourning. As our sadness and regret prevails, how we react to the practical implications relating to the loss is the first kind of depression. Worrying over the cost of treatment and burial or thinking if we have spent less time with the person emotionally dependent on us, the depression stage of grief may be eased out by simple elucidation and comfort. All one needs is a bit of cooperation and a few kind words. The second type of depression is more delicate and, perhaps more private. Completely alone and on our own, each one of us makes a quiet preparation to separate and say final farewell. Sometimes all we really need is a big hug in the depression stage of grief.

Beautiful fellow! We have a family of them in our neighborhood. We had to be careful when we brought home our last puppy because the hawks circled when we had her outside. The hawks stay nearby to be close to their food source at our neighbor's home. The neighbor feeds pigeons so the food source for the hawks is endless. ;) It is not usual to see pigeons in our neighborhood so I'm sure our neighborhood is feeding them something they really like.
Retirement next year will be fun just sitting in the back yard and watching Mother Nature's creatures. ;)
We're used to snows this time of year up here, but yes--it still gets "old".
I'm sure yours is just a temporary delay.
Happy Spring!
Hello!!!.. gorgeous bird and photos. Have a happy weekend
Beautiful photos, Kelly. We have had almost no snow this winter.
Hi Kelly! He's a beautiful little guy! ...thankfully no snow here in south Sweden, but it's not really spring yet either. We are kinda in the middle. But it's going to get warmer any day now and then nature will awake. Greetings from Sweden! :)
Great shot of the Hawk Kelly. No Snow here and not likely now.
Is it usual for snow in Mason at this time.
Hi Kelly! Great shots of the Hawk. We had snow here recently too. It's 45 today, but the wind's blowing, which makes it feel much colder.
Magnificent Hawk images, Kelly, you are a genius.
Gorgeous photos, Kelly!
Lovely shots, Kelly! Our snow is melting fast, but we are still getting a few snowy days. No flowers or green leaves yet, but hundreds of geese and swans have made their way north, so spring is on its way.
I think I'd agree with Big Red on the annoyance of snow in April! Time for winter to move on and let spring come out to play. Hope this is the last of it!
Wow......he is so beautiful. Great picture.
Love your pics, Kelita, they are so interesting and beautiful, the info is great.
Thanks for sharing.
Love and hugs.

Canada tops Russia 6-5 to make gold-medal gameby Adam Kimelman
Jordan Eberle's second goal tied the game with 5.4 seconds left in regulation and then Eberle and John Tavares scored in the shootout to escape with a 6-5 victory against Russia and earn a spot in the gold medal game.
The pre-tournament favorites, Canada and Sweden, will meet Monday night in the championship game (7:30 p.m. ET, NHL Network).
While Canada and Sweden were the favorites in their respective semifinals Saturday, both had to avoid major upset bids.
Sweden trailed Slovakia 2-1 heading into the third period but rallied to win 5-3.
While Sweden's comeback was fast and decisive -- three goals in a 4:38 span turned the game in their favor -- it took one of Canada's smallest players to score one of the tournament's biggest goals.
With goalie Dustin Tokarski on the bench for an extra attacker, John Tavares flipped a backhand on net that hit Russia defenseman Dmitri Kulikov in the chest. Kulikov tried to smother the puck, but it fell loose, and Eberle knocked it into the net.
"I saw him go to grab the puck and I saw it pop out a little bit and I just grabbed it and beat the goalie," Eberle said. "I had no idea how much time was left on the clock. We were lucky enough to put it in."
Defenseman P.K. Subban said he knew just how much time was left, which made the goal that much more memorable — and the memory that much more permanent.
"I was the first guy who went to him," Subban said. "The look on his face was priceless. That's something that will be installed in my brain for the rest of my life. Looking at his face when he scored was unbelievable."
It was a back and forth affair all the way through, a game of 'anything you can do I can do better' on ice. It seemed like every time Canada took advantage, Russia would battle right back and wrest control of the game.
Hard work and winning puck battles led to Canada's first two goals, by Brett Sonne and Patrice Cormier. But after each Canada score, Russia answered, first when Alex Pietrangelo fell at the blue line to let Maxim Goncharov score, and then 16 seconds after Cormier's goal, Dmitri Klopov converted a rebound that bounced between a Canadian defender's skates.
Back-to-back 5-on-3s helped Canada go ahead on Eberle's first goal of the game, but Russia answered 51 seconds into the third when Evgeny Grachev beat Tyler Myers to a loose puck at the Russian blue line and broke in to score.
Angelo Esposito's shorthanded goal seemed to Canada back in command, but Russia again answered quickly, when Sergei Andronov converted a two-man advantage.
"Esposito's goal should have been the one that clinched the game but wasn't," Team Canada coach Pat Quinn said. "We found a way to give it back to them."
Russia took its only lead with 2:20 left when a pinballing puck ended up behind Tokarski.
"It was quiet," said Subban of his team's bench after the goal. "But that's the best thing -- stay quiet, think about what you have to do. We have 2:20 left on the clock, and it's going to be the longest 2:20 of their lives. That's all we can concentrate on. Every time we got the puck we tired to make the most of our opportunities, and that's what Jordan Eberle did, he made the best of his opportunity today."
He wasn't the only one. Mikael Backlund and his Sweden teammates also took advantage of their opportunities.
"The third period, we stopped playing for like five minutes," said Slovakia goalie Jaroslav Janus, who singlehandedly carried his team past the U.S. in the quarterfinals and nearly did the same against Sweden. "We got kind of tired in the third period. They had two days off. We were playing good for two periods, we were skating, I made some saves, we scored goals. In the third period, we weren't strong enough."
For two periods, it didn't look like Sweden was strong enough. Images of what Janus and his teammates did to the U.S. 24 hours earlier were dancing in their head.
"I was scared for the third period," Backlund said. "I said I don't want to go home now, I want to play in the finals. We had good patience. We worked hard the whole game. If you work hard and play good, finally the bounces are going to come and they did."
"We spoke about how it's time to show how good we are now," said Marts. "Rely on each other, don't do it yourself, play as a team, stay with the game plan and go for the win. And no bad thoughts. If you start to think bad thoughts about yourself, you're not going to win."
There were no more bad thoughts when Backlund scored 7:04 into the third period to tie the game at 2-2. Just 1:46 later, David Ullstrom drove to the net and toppled over Janus. Laying on his rear end, he used his stick blade like a pool cue to push the puck over the goal line.
That was all Backlund needed to see. He felt the game was in hand.
"It was a relief when we finally had the lead," he said. "It felt so good when we had the lead. When we scored to go up 3-2 I knew we were going to win. When we tied it we felt we had control of the game because we were better than them the whole game. We felt that if we get a lead we're going to win it."
Just 2:50 after Ullstrom's goal, Mattias Tedenby dug out a puck along the wall in the Slovakia end, deked his way around two defenseman and fed Simon Hjalmarsson at the right post for an easy stuff-in and a 4-2 lead.
Tomas Tatar, the NHL Central Scouting's top-ranked Slovak skater for the 2009 Entry Draft, scored his second of the game and sixth of the tournament to get his team back within a goal with 4:02 left, but Oscar Moller scored into an empty net with 1:17 left for the final margin.
All the negative thoughts were gone, and it was time for Marts the coach to turn into Marts the teacher, and explain to his student-players how much they could learn from a game like this one.
"I think we learned a lot from this game," he said. "If you're favored, you play under pressure … you get tight (but) you learn something from it. I think it's really good for my guys not to leave the game plan, to have to do it together as a team, a unit. We weren't lucky because we should win this game, but it was a really hard one for us."
Marts said his team would have to be better to go home with the gold Monday night. Quinn said much the same thing.
"They had hardly any trouble going through the tournament to this point," Quinn said. "We have to find ways to improve our game to be able to match them and their skill level."

Wow, okay…. so as promised, here's a quick review on Tom Cruise's latest….. (can I say Masterpiece?)… achievement. For those of you who've read my earlier work, you know how I feel about Tom Cruise's Oblivion, how it was the "Top Gun" of the 21th century and so on… but now, well, let me just say it like this; Edge of Tomorrow is the best thing that could have happened to Tom Cruise's last 10 years of his career. How is that for a review? Oh, you want more, heh? Well, here it is then….
As most of you probably already have heard, Edge of Tomorrow has been given a curse. This curse, is that it is continuously being compared to Bill Murray's Groundhog Day, i.e. it suffers from the "Groundhog Day" syndrome (for those out there who is oblivious to common knowledge, that is that one person relives the same day over and over again). With that said, And with that knowledge at hand, one would assume that just like Groundhog Day, the story would at some point be repetitive and tedious… and yes, one would assume correctly. BUT… and this is a great BUT….. The repetitive storyline is only a small portion of the first act and when the tediousness stops, the movie quickly becomes one of the greatest science fiction-films of our generation. The story (based on the japanese light novel All You Need is Kill) is brilliantly adapted for the big screen and both Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt plays their respective parts fantastically, and sure, we've seen Cruise don this type of movie character before, but for miss (or is it Mrs?Blunt, I'm pretty sure she was way out of her ordinary league… but they both did an amazing job and the chemistry between them was even better then what Tom and Nicole had in Days of Thunder, to say the least.
But what about the application of it all IN the film? Well… first of all, I am far from any kind of expert (you all know this to be true), so I won't sit here and tell you if something could have been done better or worse, edited faster etc, all I do is give you what I think…. and what I think is this; The music was fantastic, the score is magnificent and well fitted to the entirety of the film. The FX was great. Sure, there was a LOT of CGI but c'mon, even a Rom-Com has CGI these days so who cares, as long as it looks good, and it did! The supporting cast was amazing. It was a long time coming for Bill Paxton to deliver a believable performance on screen (yeah, I'm excluding his part in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D on this one), Tony Way's Kimmel was hysterically out of place but at the same time just right for everything he was a part in, and of course, if Brendan Gleeson is in the movie, how can you NOT drop something about him in a review? You can't, that's how… and even if his part in this movie was very small, his performance was off the charts as usual.
Aaaand, there you go…. a quick review on Edge of Tomorrow for you. If you haven't seen it, I strongly recommend that you do, 'cause it truly is a "Theater MUST" kind of movie. And as I promised time and time again, there will be a lot more postage here on T.T, but until the next one….. would you please jump to my facebook-page Tango's Thoughts and give it a like… it sure would help the "cause", if you know what I mean! Until next time….

October 9, 2010 Author deviousdiva
On September 21st 2010, for the first time ever, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), also known as the United Nations Refugee Agency, described a European Union country's treatment of refugees as a "humanitarian crisis". That country is Greece. On September 23rd, I wrote about the escalation of violent racist attacks on refugees in downtown Athens. Since that time, the situation has deteriorated to the point that vigilante groups of "concerned citizens of Athens", aligned with neo-Nazi and fascists, have occupied some of the squares and are driving away the refugees by attacking and beating them. Several people have been hospitalised including children. For regular updates on the situation in the squares, please go to The Jungle of Athens. Yesterday, the police attacked a group of Afghan refugees after a solidarity demonstration in Attiki square.
Yesterday evening, I watched a video called "The Battle for Attica Square" distributed by Journeyman Pictures
London's leading independent distributor of topical news features, documentaries and footage
You have to go to YouTube to watch it because the embed facility has been disabled but you can share it on all the social networking sites. I urge you all to go and watch the video in its entirety and then pass it on in whatever way you can. It shows the reality of the situation that large numbers of refugees are living in here in Greece. From people dying on the border and being buried in unmarked graves on what looks like a building site, to squalid overcrowded prisons, to being homeless and without papers or support in downtown Athens and finally, to being hounded and attacked by anti-immigration thugs. It is shocking. Heartbreaking, made even more so because children are caught up in this horror. I don't know what else to say… there are no words to describe how I feel about what is happening on my doorstep. Just go and watch the video and let the world know what is happening in this European country in 2010.
[Please note: The 400+ comments that follow the video should be read with caution. I have seen far worse, even here on my blog, but en masse they make disturbing reading. It's mostly just a jumble of the usual lame excuses, cries of "we're not as bad as some places", accusations of Turkish propaganda and some "Bravos" and pats on the back thrown in for good measures. If you are not feeling particularly strong today, skip reading them]

Frankly I'm more offended at the spelling. Would be fairly accurate to surmise that we're dealing with a triploid junior high drop out? Most probably a charter member of the "The Cheetos-Eating in My Mom's Basement While salivating off to Internet Porn Institute for the Defense of America, Free Enterprise, and Western Civilization."
But enough easy shots to those paralyzed from the neck up.
Thanks to the antics of the usual suspects, I've decided to do a second Judeofascist Awareness Week(along with a Shabbos Goy Awareness Week thrown in for good measure). I wasn't sure about doing it this year, but the chemical attack on the Dayton Ohio Masjid after the free distribution of the anti-Muslim propaganda DVD "Obsession" demands otherwise. Guess who's behind it? A Jewish "charity" based in Israel called the "Aish Hatora." According to the St.Petersburg times investigative report : "Clarion's address, according to Manhattan directory assistance, is the same address as Aish HaTorah International, a fundraising arm of Aish HaTorah. The Clarion Fund and Aish HaTorah International are also connected to a group called HonestReporting, which produced Obsession. HonestReporting's 2006 tax return uses the same address." IN lamens terms : Judeofascists.
A new website has been set up(very late in my opinion) to counter the scum, heres a preview of the "pundits" Obsessed with Hate"
Daniel Pipes (profiled on DAY 4 of Judeofascist Awareness Week 2007)
Daniel Pipes is the founder of CampusWatch, a private watchdog group that monitors Middle East Studies on college campuses where he seeks to promote hardline pro-Israeli stances and limit alternative viewpoints. Critics accuse him of seeking to stifle free speech on Israel-related issues, especially with those who do not share his views. He is also founder of the dubious Middle East Forum.
Pipes has previously stated that, "Western European societies are unprepared for the massive immigration of brown-skinned peoples cooking strange foods and maintaining different standards of hygiene... All immigrants bring exotic customs and attitudes, but Muslim customs are more troublesome than most" and that "In its long history of immigration, the United States has never encountered so violence-prone and radicalized a community as the Muslims who have arrived since 1965."
He is also on the record stating that the enfranchisement of American Muslims is bad and a threat to Jews: "I worry very much from the Jewish point of view that the presence, and increased stature, and affluence, and enfranchisement of American Muslims....will present true dangers to American Jews."
Learn more about the "Pipes Methodology"
Steven EmersonSteven Emerson has amassed a reputation for going through great lengths in an order to link any and all mainstream Muslim leaders to Radicalism one way or another. As a self-styled journalist, his pretentious "grapevine" tactics are widely disavowed as a contemporary form of McCarthyism. His prime goal according to the Wall Street Journal is "to whitewash Israeli governments and revile their critics."
Emerson routinely tries to sell himself off as a private investigator and Middle East terrorism expert. Yet in 1995, his "investigative expertise" led him to conclude with certainty that Muslims are behind the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City. This misguided and premature accusation led to "a backlash against the American Muslim community during the first few days after the explosion."
Emerson is not secretive about his anti-Muslim views, for example he claimed in a March 1995 article in Jewish Monthly that Islam "sanctions genocide, planned genocide, as part of its religious doctrine."
Read more about Steven Emerson's disturbing track record.
Walid Shoebat (profiled on DAY 2 of Shabbos Goy Awareness Week 2007)Walid Shoebat is a member of an apocalyptic religious group known as Christians United for Israel (CUFI). He claims to have converted to Christianity from Islam. Reports suggest that Shoebat never knew his Muslim father and was raised by his Christian mother. Shoebat is a self confessed "ex-terrorist." He unapologetically flaunts his dubious credentials as a way to garner attention and interest, especially in the media and on the college speaking circuit. Critics have wondered why he is left on the loose as an ex-terrorist, while others have accused him of concocting his life story and using a fake name to eclipse his true identity.
While Shoebat has been embraced by some Jewish groups for his unabashed support of Israel, his extreme views and vitriolic language has also caused many Jews to distance themselves from him and to question his agenda. Shoebat stated that, "Islam is not the religion of God – Islam is the devil." At other times, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, he has stated that Islam is a "Satanic Cult." At a college speech in Milwaukee, he told a group of 1,000 mostly Midwestern students that "Palestinians keep Jewish testicles and breasts in jars."
Recently, Shoebat's credibility has taken a notable plunge to the point where fellow Islamophobes who used to praise him in the past are now distancing themselves from him. Debbie Schlussel(profiled on DAY 2 of Judeofascist Awareness Week 2007) has come out categorically describing Shoebat as a "serial harasser, plagiarist, and fake terrorist." She also states that "this was a business for him." She also revealed that an irrate Shoebat told her, "F-k You, Bitch!" in a conversation over the phone.
Brigitte Gabriel (profiled on DAY 1 of Shabbos Goy Awareness Week 2007)
New York Times Magazine describes Brigitte Gabriel as a "radical Islamophobe." She has publicly stated that "the difference between Israel and the Arab world is the difference between civilization and barbarism." "It's the difference between good and evil... They have no soul!," she said.
Gabriel is also coming out with a book titled They Must Be Stopped, it is clear who "they" are according to her, as she stated that "every practicing Muslim is a radical Muslim." Her own publicist has described her views as "extreme."
In an interview with Jason Frenkel of The Australian Jewish News, Frenkel failed repeatedly to get Gabriel to acknowledge that there are practicing Muslims who don't espouse hatred and have extreme views of the world, including his friends. She seethed at Frenkel and declared that "a practising Muslim who goes to mosque every Friday, prays five times a day, and who believes that the Koran is the word of God, and who believes that Mohammed is the perfect man and (four inaudible words) is a radical Muslim." She also claimed that "Islamo-fascism is a politically-correct word...it's the vehicle for Islam...Islam is the problem."
Israel eNews reported that Gabriel said "Barack Obama is an anti-Semite, no Jews should support him. Jews should vote for Hillary Clinton." Palm Beach County federation's CEO, Jeffrey Klein said Gabriel frequently speaks to Jewish groups and came with many references. One of the speaker topics listed on her Web site is "the threat of Islam to world peace and national security." United Jewish Communities President Howard Rieger said this was the first he had heard of Gabriel. Referring to her comments on Obama, he added, "I wish that people that express those views would simply go away."
Nonie Darwish
Nonie Darwish Nonie Darwish is the creator of the website "Arabs for Israel" where she seeks to promote her Messianic Evangelical vision of unconditional support for Israel in order to pave the way for the second coming of Christ. She tells Israelis and Jews to support the apartheid wall that effectively partitions portions of the West Bank while at the same time encouraging Israelis and Jews not to work for a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
She is also the author of Now They Call Me Infidel: Why I Renounced Jihad for America, Israel, and the War on Terror. In that book, she gives conflicting accounts of her identity: she stresses that she is not "anti-Arab or anti-Islamic, and even suggests from time to time that she is still a Muslim. Then she pivots nimbly and attacks "the Arab mind," "the seething Arab street," and "the Muslim world," with its "culture of jihad," "culture of death," and "culture of envy." There are "no real distinctions between moderate or radical Muslims," and no significant differences within or among Arab or Muslim cultures. For Darwish, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser's secular Arab nationalism was essentially Islamic jihadist.
Darwish holds simplistic views on the Middle-East that seem to demonize the Arab/Palestinian/Muslim side: "I realized that the Arab-Israeli conflict is not a crisis over land, but a crisis of hate, lack of compassion, ingratitude, and insecurity." Rather than sound scholarship, Darwish offers us a watered-down version of Raphael Patai's The Arab Mind: a dictionary of Islamophobic commonplaces, underwritten by the authority of an ex-Muslim native informant: "I was there -- I know."
Caroline Glick
Caroline Glick Caroline Glick was the assistant policy advisor to the former ultra right-wing Prime Minister of Israel Binyamin Netanyahu who in July 2006 commemorated the terrorist attack that took place on the King David Hotel in 1946 killing 92 people including civilians and nurses. This prompted the British Ambassador to Tel Aviv to state: "We do not think that it is right for an act of terrorism, which led to the loss of many lives, to be commemorated."
She has been on the record supporting and praising Pastor John Hagee and his Christians United for Israel or CUFI; an extremist evangelical organization that promote end times ideology.
She is also the senior fellow of Middle Eastern Affairs at the Center for Security Policy, a far right Neo-conservative think-tank. The Center believes in "Peace through Strength" which should be "used in maintaining peace and stability," neo-Conservative double speak for "pre-emptive" war.
In a recent article entitled "It is Time to Act" she advocates the bombing of Iran as well as the overthrow of the Iranian government: "Today, there is only one way to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Israel must bomb Iran's nuclear installations. All an Israeli air strike against Iran's nuclear facilities will do is set its nuclear program back for a couple of years. Such a strike will buy Israel and the rest of the world time. If Israel and the US are wise, they will use the extra time to ratchet up international economic sanctions on Iran. They will use the time to conduct covert operations against nuclear and regime targets. They will use the time to increase international pressure on countries that do business with Iran and sell it arms. And they will use the time that an Israeli military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities will buy to support Iranian democracy movements and so weaken the regime and perhaps eventually topple it."
This is the same drivel that we heard before in the lead up to the Iraq War and we must ask ourselves if we are ready for such demagogues and pro-war activists to be given any legitimacy as "experts" when it is clear they are serving their own selfish agendas at the expense of American lives and trillions of tax-payer dollars.
Itamar MarcusItamar Marcus is, according to Wikipedia, an Israeli settler from the religious Zionist settlement of Efrat in the West Bank and founder of the dubious Palestinian Media Watch which, under the guise of objectivity and peace, sets out to expose what is portrayed in Palestinian Media.
In an article entitled "Aspiration not Desperation: The Islamic Blood Cult" he characterizes Palestinian society and its Islamic roots as equivalent to the descriptions of ancient Biblical pagan blood cults "In the ancient world, there was widespread belief that the deity wanted humans to die as the ultimate form of worship. People gave their children to the deity of Molech and the Baal. This ancient belief has now returned to plague the world." He intentionally frames the conflict as having been created out of a vacuum, linking it's origins to Islam rather than to issues of occupation, and violence. It's as though he implies Palestinians woke up one day and wished to kill them selves because they love blood so much and it's what their God requests from them.
He also portrays Palestinians and Muslims as barbarians, who don't love life and are less than human.
Khaled Abu ToamehKhaled Abu Toameh is an Israeli Arab journalist who works for the right-wing Jerusalem Post and has also been a frequent contributor to the Middle East Quarterly; a journal that is part of the publication of the Middle East Forum created by arch Islamophobe Daniel Pipes and Michael Rubin.
He is also a speaker with the propaganda-prone, Hasbara Fellowship Speakers Bureau, which seeks to educate and train "university students to be effective pro-Israel activists on their campuses." "Hasbara Fellowships, started in 2001 in conjunction with Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, brings hundreds of students to Israel every summer and winter, giving them the information and tools to return to their campuses as leaders in the fight for Israel's image."
He feigns to write objectively and with an insider's knowledge, but the description of a "useful token native" fits him more accurately. The titles of his pieces give his agenda away, we read such polemical claptrap as, "Telling the Truth about the Palestinians, If I speak in the Arab World I will be Shot," etc.
He has also been quoted as stating that Bush is "the savior of the Arab masses" As Melanie Phillips (a rightwing extremist Islamophobe) reported: Abu Toameh seems to believe that Bush's hard-line attitude is exactly the wake-up call the Arabs need to get their act together.
Alan DershowitzAlan Dershowitz is a professor of Law who stated that Robert Kennedy's assassination was the beginning of Islamic Terrorism: "It was in some ways the beginning of Islamic terrorism in America. It was the first shot. A lot of us didn't recognize it at the time." What is quite ironic and revealing is that the assassin was no other than Sirhan Sirhan an Arab Christian. It seems Alan Dershowitz cannot distinguish between a Muslim and a Christian. Maybe to him all Arabs are the same?
This is the same psychology that leads him on his witch hunt against renowned Professor Dr. Norman Finkelstein an outspoken critic of Israel. His crusade lead to Prof. Finkelstein being denied tenure at DePaul University, a move that raised many questions about his academic integrity and commitment to free speech.
John LoftusPresident of The Intelligence Summit and of the Florida Holocaust Museum. According to Wikipedia "John J. Loftus is the author and co-author of several controversial books on Nazis, espionage, and similar topics including The Belarus Secret (1982), Unholy Trinity: How the Vatican's Nazi Networks Betrayed Western Intelligence to the Soviets (1992), The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People (1994), Unholy Trinity: The Vatican, the Nazis, and the Swiss Banks (1998). Most historians see his books as non-scientific political pamphlets."
In 2005 In what Fox News officials concede was a mistake, "John Loftus, a former U.S. prosecutor, gave out the address Aug. 7, saying it was the home of a Middle Eastern man, Iyad K. Hilal, who was the leader of a terrorist group with ties to those responsible for the July 7 bombings in London. Hilal, whom Loftus identified by name during the broadcast, had moved out of the house about three years previously. But the consequences were immediate for the Voricks. (the current residents)" An article pointed out that: ..."statements made by John Loftus, a commentator for Fox News, describing grocery store owner Iyad K. Hilal as a terrorist. Although the article accurately quoted Loftus' expression of his opinion, The Times wants to make clear that Hilal has not been charged with any illegal activity and The Times is not aware of any law enforcement agency or official that has identified Hilal as a terrorist."
Alfons HeckAlfons Heck was a former Hitler Youth Officer and "a fanatical adherent to Nazism's ideologies." After the war he migrated to Canada where during the "50's and 60's he did not speak about his wartime activities or his former involvement with the Hitler Youth."
If this is not enough of a red flag this supposed reformed ex-Nazi has stated, "We were enlightened people and we fell for this, why wouldn't Muslims fall for this?" implying that Muslims, a "less enlightened" and "ignorant people" must be more susceptible to Nazi ideology than Germans.
Glen Jenvey"Glen Jenvey" is a self-proclaimed "spy" and vigilante counter intelligence researcher, which begs the immediate question how many real spy's declare they're spys so openly? He has stated: "I'd spied on people before - bizarre as it sounds - as a bit of a hobby, because I was interested in it."
He is a member of VIGIL whose parent organization "The Intelligence Community Human Network" or IC-Humnit declared in its bizzare mission statement: "Back in 1991, a young-man from a far-off country came to the Western-Sahara desert to meet with a group of people. They formed an alliance to establish a global network to form an army to fight the Evil-World to come and to serve for the glory of Jerusalem, the city of GOD!"
The website is now restricted to certain individuals, but we see from archives around the web from that time that they went on to declare that,"Since then, many people came and went and we have been around in the world. But in 1998 we established ourselves on the internet. Using it as a portal for our global community. This network is what we now call the IC-HUMINT."
Such a strange mission statement and language is indicative of the folly and fantasy world in which the so called "experts" in this film live. It is a strange motley crew of extreme right wing Zionists and evangelical Christians united in Islamophobia.
Now a days Jenvey seeks to portray himself as an objective analysist but the facts speak otherwise. He claims "modestly" "to be the real life hero who nailed terror Chief Abu Hamza." This seems to be his claim to fame for which he is lauded by fellow Islamophobes.
All of these self-declarations are uncorroborated by independent sources. His claim also that Abu Hamza was involved in terrorist activity is inflated as the only tthing that Abu Hamza was convicted of under the Terrorism act was posession of an "Encyclopedia of Jihad."
Jenvey under the alias of "Pervez Khan" set up a false website called IslamicNews which he wished to use as a method to expose extremist: some would call his method entrapment. The site posed as an extreme Islamic site that collected material from around the world that promoted violence and also linked to violent groups.
The website went through a radical change, revealing its true intent in september 2002 it changed from an extreme violent Islamic website to: "We've changed our mind about this whole terrorism thing. Jehad is crap!"
The website goes onto state that the task of distinguishing "authentic islam from the counterfeit image presented by the 'Islamists'is being carried out by a few brave non Muslims such as Daniel Pipes and Steve Emerson."
It continues on and states that: "Israel belongs to the Jews - because Allah gave that land to them - why, because the Philistines won't act like decent human beings - and only decent humans deserve their own country. If the Philistines don't like it, they should just find somewhere else to live. Except no other country on earth wants to have them because they are not acting like decent human beings. And Kashmir belongs to the Indians - for the same reasons."
Under his alias Pervez Khan, Jenvey posted a Message from Hell in which he stated: "We made it to Paradise! Now we will meet Allah and be fed grapes, and be serviced by 70 virgin women, and...It seems here in paradise... there are only big fat grey haired toothless women. and rent boys! Its very hot down here in paradise and run by a man called the devil! Better known as cheekey devil! Im off to pub later to get a skin full of beer.... its hot but the beers good!"
Robert WistrichA professor of European and Jewish studies at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, he believes that anti-Zionism is the same as anti-Semitism. As he stated in his article, "Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism," "Anti-Zionism has become the most dangerous and effective form of anti- Semitism in our time," he argued.
Martin GilbertMartin Gilbert A historian by profession, his credibility has been questioned by his fellow historians. Israeli historian Benny Morris described him as a "propagandist" while another historian Tom Segev criticized him for the notable and inexplicable "absence of figures from Arab sources" in his book "The Story of Israel."
Khaleel MohammedIn an exclusive statement for obsessionwithhate.com, Dr. Khaleel Mohammed, the only Obsession interviewee who is an Islamic Studies Professor, delivers a new lethal blow to the film's credibility, exposing what many already knew:
"Sadly, it would seem that I have allowed myself to be used. I gave an interview to the makers of "obsession" wherein I explained the meaning of Jihad, and its misuse by extremists. I understood that the film would be used objectively, focusing on fanatics who seek to spread violence. I am aware that there is a disclaimer at the beginning of the film that says it is not about Islam in general, but only about extremist interpretations.
"But the material from some of the speakers gives the lie to the disclaimer: many of them are not experts, or have used the mantle of academic qualifications to purvey hate. That their alarmist drivel should be mixed with my whittled down interview proves that the intent of the film is not to educate, but to mislead. The free distribution of the film to voters in particular districts shows the political chicanery that is the motive, and the secrecy about the financing of the distribution only underlines the evil intent in circulating this vile piece of propaganda.
"Evidence seems to indicate the involvement of Aish ha-Torah in this dishonest enterprise. I find that particularly distressing, because any Jewish organization ought to realize what the film seeks to do: they demonize an entire community to the point where a government takes action to further beleaguer its citizens and resident aliens simply because of their religious identity. This bigotry over religion and identity is precisely what caused the Shoah — and it is sad that those who ought to have learned what hate can engender should seek to imitate Nazi propagandism.
"Yet — for all the nefarious intent of the distributors of the film — I must also accept culpability for allowing myself to be so used. I still oppose many of the traditional interpretations of Islam—but that has nothing to do with the film Obsession. I cannot stand by silently and allow my participation in such satanic demonization of innocents. I apologize to my fellow Muslims for appearing in such a film. I apologize to my Jewish teachers and friends-- who have warned me time and again about falling into such a situation—for not heeding their counsel. And I expect now that those who support the film will make me their target. But again: I am no diplomat, and I love a good fight. I am obsessed with the truth. Let's get it on. "
The Clarion FundThe Clarion Fund, a shadowy group with no listed officers, no known office space, and unpublished financial disclosure forms (form 990) financed the massive distribution of the Obsession Hate DVD, numbered at some 28 million copies. There have been speculative reports suggesting links between Clarion and Sheldon Adelson, a Las Vegas Jewish-American magnate, who is known to have personally passed out copies of the DVD, as well as with Aish HaTorah an educational and advocacy group based in Jerusalem. Neither report has yet been confirmed. Clarion seems to be reveling in the secrecy. But it is a matter of time before the facts become clear.
Look for Judeofascist Awareness Week 2008 soon, trust me shlomos it'll be like old times again...

This is what the 'dog days of summer' means to me:
Sitting down at the harbor in the gloaming
watching boats,
sun and water
golden waves of grain
(the harvest was well under-way
before the end of July this year--so said my brother-in-law
when he texted me that he'd 'harvested for me' for my birthday)
Sunsets earlier each night
out the front window
More golden fields (did I ever mention I love
these wavy hills?)
(It is, after all, dog-days!)
And this one--my lovely SK--
packing up her life to move to the Bay area...
In just four more days.
I'm so excited for her and
sad for me.
Of course.
Mamas can feel both these things at once.
Mamas do.
We always said we weren't raising children,
we were raising adults.
Teaching them to grow up and
And so she goes.
As she should.
God calls,
she answers.
But oh,
how I wish these dog days could last.

I found her story most inspiring and despite the success she seems to be very grounded. She told us that she always enjoyed baking, even as a kid and naturally would chose a path in the hospitality industry. She did a degree as pastry chef and worked in kitchens in the US, one of them was WD40 in NY.
Even though baking was her thing she wasn't too happy in restaurants kitchens and started an office job, at Momofuku. Missing her home baking though she would bake when at home to feed her colleagues and they were all in awe of her creations. Her boss (David Chang) took notice as well and when he got offered a small property spot in NY to run a bakery he came to Christina Tosi.
She now runs several Milk bakeries across NY and has gone from strength to strength in her endeavor to challenge the pastry world with unusual adaptations of old time classics.
Take her compost cookie for instance. That's what I heard first off. A very tasty cookie , so American in shape but with a list of, at first, weird ingredients, but it so works! And so it goes on... Milk also invented the cereal milk - toasted cereal steeped in cold milk, then strained and bottled up. She uses different types of cereal milk for her cookies and cakes but reckons that cornflakes gives the broadest spectrum of yummyness.
Instead of shortcrust she uses a range of crunches to cover the base and one of her most popular pie is the crack pie, which I yet have to try myself thanks to her cookbook. So far I have tried a few different cookie recipes and my family was most grateful. Home baking, but a little bit more fancy without the queues, that's quite something.

Ovechkin keeps firing awayby Dan Rosen
Other than the fact that Ovechkin didn't score a goal, it was a typical game for the NHL's leading shooter (528 during the regular season): Shoot early. Shoot often. Shoot no matter what the situation.
But after the game Ovechkin's linemate, Nicklas Backstrom, bemoaned the fact that maybe the Capitals' didn't get enough traffic in front of Lundqvist.
Sure, they had 35 shots on goal, but the Rangers did a good job of limiting second chances by keeping the Capitals on the perimeter -- save for when Washington was on the power play.
Washington coach Bruce Boudreau said he'd have to see the game tape to see if there times the Caps should have had more bodies in front of Lundqvist. But he's aware that when Ovechkin is shooting, sometimes there isn't an opportunity for that to happen.
The Rangers also blocked 21 shots, including 10 of Ovechkin's attempts.
"We had 35 shots, but Lundqvist is such a good goalie that you have to get traffic in front," Boudreau said. "I don't know if we had the opportunity on some of them."
For the most part, though, Boudreau and Ovechkin were pleased with the Capitals' effort on the offensive side. It's the defensive side -- specifically the goaltending -- that figures to get a lot of attention in practice before Game 2 on Saturday afternoon.
"We didn't score on our chances," Ovechkin said. "I think we played well and I think we just have to play the same way, and try more responsibility in the neutral zone.
"It was an interesting game," he added. "Next game will be more interesting."

Showing posts with tag Brisco
Posted on Apr 28, 2014 in News
Hello All!
Back from a spectacular weekend after a phenomenally successful Open House last Friday!
Kim and Christoph from Brisco Manufacturing (the folks who manufactured our flooring system) gave an AWESOME presentation about the LVL product, and Iain from Weir-Jones also made a few comments to all who were here!
Perry and Chris, our resident finishing carpenters, put a big effort on in order to get the front reception area done, and it looks great!
We also got the opportunity to meet Brendan Reilly, our web/marketing designer - at last! He proved to be as affable in person as he has been over the phone for the last year +; we hope he will stay on with us and continue to produce these very attractive pieces for marketing!
The caterers were lovely, and one of the shrimp wraps attacked me and stained my shirt - about the only fail we suffered. The caterers remedied the shirt with soda water and beer - beer for me, soda for the shirt!
And, we got an opportunity to showcase of Earth Quake Early Warning System, Shake Alarm - this amused a couple of kids as we had them try to 'induce' a seismic event in the building, then showed them how the accelerations were being captured on the monitor, lots of good fun!
All told, it was a great event, and only the beginning to the weekend...!
(And it would appear I have figured out how to post pictures...!)

Title: The Queen (The Selection 0.4)
Author: Kiera Cass
Published: December 2014
Published By: HarperTeen Impulse
Format Read: eBook, Kobo
Genre: Novella, YA Lit, Dystopian
Date Read: March 3, 2016
Rating: 4/5
In Kiera Cass's novella The Queen, readers are taken back to a time before America was chosen to be part of The Selection and even before Prince Maxon was born. Back to The Selection that would marry Prince Clarkson to a poor young "4" from Honduragua. This is Queen Amberly's story.
Last year I read the first book in The Selection series, with an online book club. It was something I was curious about but didn't think I would enjoy. Much to my surprise I loved it! A couple of weeks ago I went out on bought the boxset. However The Queen novella came to the top of my To Be Read pile before the second book did and once again I dove into this strange world.
At only 72 pages long, this novella gave us an idea of Queen Amberly's background and how she came to win the attention of Prince Clarkson and eventually the crown. Keeping in mind that I don't know much about the coming books in the series, I came to really like her character and her determination to rise above her caste. We also learn more about Clarkson's parents the former King and Queen.
Although this story takes place before the rest of the series, I think it would be best enjoyed by those who are already fans of The Selection. The reason for this is that due to its short page count, it doesn't go into a lot of detail about the world or the caste systems. I think that this would be confusing to a reader who hasn't at least read the first book.

A Hairy Licking
Generally when I post vintage photos, I have to delete half a dozen comments bitching about body hair. Kids these days, you'd think their fashions were some sort of natural law. (Anyway, my solution to that is to post more vintage photographs; eventually maybe the lesson will soak in that fashions change, and that history is not automatically gross. Never mind the more subtle truth that fashions in body hair vary along demographic lines, even today. In short, your mom may have more pussy hair than your favorite waxed-and-plucked porn starlet, and your dad still thinks your mom is hot. Exercise coping skills.)
Moving rapidly along: but what is a body to do when the notable vintage hairdos in question are on heads?
For help in pondering that, I offer up this taxonomy of hairdos from a 70's Ebony magazine. Enjoy!

By this last Tuesday we reached a milestone in the year cycle of my garden. Everything was planted. There were no seeds or plants waiting to go in. Everything had been weeded at least once. Now all I have to do is water and wait for plants to grow.
The past few days have been quite rainy so I didn't even need to water the gardens.. On Thursday the wind and rain blew hard and steadily. Friday was fairly nice and sunny. Then on Saturday the rain started in again. Today it has been dark and rainy all day. I think tomorrow it will clear up and we will have some good weather. Meanwhile the rain has caused everything in my garden to pop up. My onion sets grew 4 inches. All we need now is some sunshine to help them grow.
Fishing had been really good. The guides have caught several large walleyes. After taking a picture these big fish are returned to the water so they can breed another year. The guides hold them in the water and massage them until the fish is ready to swim off. Really and honestly those 2-3 pound walleyes are much better for eating.
Bass have been going up onto the beds. Then they really are little hungrier and are fun to catch. Lake trout are still in relatively shallow water and biting well. We have even seen a few northern come it. Northerns eat very well but most people don't like them because of the y-bones that run down the fillets. The guides fillet the fish and then cut the fillets into long strips. The middle strip has all the y-bones and is thrown away. The other two strips are cut into bit size pieces. They fry up nicely and it is like eating popcorn – once you start, you can't stop until they are all gone.
April has been overwhelmed lately with boxes of gifts coming in for the trading post in the lodge. Counting, pricing, and arranging everything is a huge job. Of course, Shannon is there to help with the work. Shannon and Marilyn also take up a lot of the telephone answering. Dave is there to help with everything but it keeps all four of them busy. There is not a lot of slack time at the front desk.
Our new summer staff is coming in steadily. Each and every one of them is welcomed with open arms. We have been operating with not quite as many workers as is comfortable. When the new ones come, it always takes time to train them but it sure is good to get a little more help.
All the summer activities – horseback rides, canopy tours, fishing, canoe trips, etc. are in full swing right now. But most of all we have an influx of kids who have dreamed about endless hot chocolate all winter long. Cookies are also high on the list. I saw a boy once with four coolies stacked together. He was just taking a bit down all four of them at one time.
BREAKING NEWS: On the way to the lodge tonight we saw our first momma partridge with what looks like a brand new brood of chicks.

Over the past decade, we've witnessed the birth of broadband, high-definition television, mobility and other increasingly complex, useful and entertaining ways of seeing and hearing over distance. Each innovation had ramifications in the marketplace. The next significant step-which figures to rival HDTV in market impact, but certainly won't be as transformative as broadband or mobility -- will be 3D television.
Broad 3D adoption is closer to moving from the theater to the living room than people who don't follow the sector likely think. GigaOm Pro has released a report that says some consumer products are likely to be available next year, and that volumes will develop in the near term afterwards.
The study says that big players-the Sonys and Panasonics of the world-see 3D as an answer to shrinking margins and the maturation of the HDTV segment. It suggests that as many as 46 million 3D-capable HDTVs will be sold in 2013. The study suggests an adoption curve-with 3D available on an increasing amount of programming and viewers choosing to watch a given program in traditional or 3D formats-will be similar to the way in which HDTV edged into the market.
The development of 3D-assuming that it is something that folks want, which seems likely-will unleash significant creative, technical and marketing competition. This is happening already, at least on the technical front. For instance, BBC reported last week that Sony has introduced a single camera capable of recording in the 3D format. Generally, the piece says, two cameras are needed. The story does a good job of describing the clever way that Sony has done this. Essentially, the necessary dual image is created by splitting the image received by one camera and sending it to two sensors. The story doesn't discuss price, but it seems likely to be less expensive and more efficient than multi-camera approaches.
More innovation is emerging from the usual suspects. Gizmodo reports that Panasonic is showing off a 50-inch prototype of a set featuring new materials and chips. Intel has unveiled the CE4 100 processor. Code named Sodaville before its introduction, the CE4 100 is a 45-nanometer system-on-a-chip that can support a number of applications, including 3D.
The wave of 3D television raises interesting questions concerning the impact on the lovely war between cable, telco and over-the-top IP-based video delivery. Will 3D be more effectively marketed by one of the groups? If so, will it have a big impact on the competitive balance between the three? Conversely, are there simply so many great features available in modern telecom that one more won't make too much of a difference?
In the final analysis, it seems that likely that 3D television will an attractive feature, particularly for movies and sports programming. It remains to be seen, however, if it will be just another snazzy feature or if it is destined to be the latest next big thing.
