The following are daily notes Great Great Grandfather James Calloway Campbell wrote to his children near the end of his life. The spelling of words is sometimes peculiarly his, but often times, the seemingly misspelled words are spellings found in the Old Blueback Speller of that time period.
These "dispatches," as he called them, were found in my Great Grandmother Sally Campbell Vaughan's possessions after her death in 1936.

Rich and inviting designs featuring intense color and sparkle
3 rings stacked together delivering a stunning combination
Karat is a measure of gold's purity. 18k is 75% pure, 14k is 58.3% pure. 18k contains more gold and is therefore more expensive. It offers a good balance of strength and color. 14k is more scratch resistant than 18k but may not be as bright.
Platinum is naturally pure white and more durable than gold. It is more resistant to wear and tear and is hypo-allergenic. Because of these appealing characteristics it is more expensive than gold.
Read more about metal options or feel free to give us a call at 866-508-1366
Total Carat Weight is the total diamond and/or gemstone weight guaranteed to be in your ring. The larger the CTTW the larger the diamonds included in the ring. For example a 5 CTTW ring will include diamonds much larger than a 1 CTTW.

Diamonds: Our genuine diamonds are 100% natural, not enhanced and not treated in any way. We apply stringent diamond grading policies and comply with the Kimberly Process to ensure all our diamonds are conflict free.
Lab Grown Diamonds: Lab Grown Diamonds are made of the same material as genuine diamonds and are visually, chemically and physically identical to them. They are 100% conflict-free and eco-friendly with no human or environmental exploitation.
D-E-F / VVS-VS (Outstanding): Colorless with minute inclusions that are difficult for an experienced grader to detect. The highest quality diamond offered at EWB.
G / VS2 (Best): Nearly Colorless with minute inclusions not easily seen by an experienced grader. A high quality diamond with excellent value.
G-H / SI1-SI2 (Better): Color is slightly detectable and inclusions are noticeable to an experienced grader under 10x magnification but not easily visible to the naked eye. This quality also offers excellent value.
H-I / I1-I2 (Good): Color slightly detectable and inclusions may effect transparency. If under 10 points (.10 carats) inclusions can not be seen by the naked eye. Our entry level diamond quality offering good value.
Color: GIA has devised a set of guidelines in which diamonds are graded on a color scale, measuring the degree to which a diamond is colorless. A lettering system from D to Z is used to identify the amount of color present in each diamond. Truly colorless stones (D) are rare and valuable.
Clarity: A scale established by GIA to rank the visibility in a diamond. Inclusions disrupt the flow of light in the diamond thus diminishing its brilliance.

Aurora Consulting needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 79 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Aurora Consulting
Aurora Consulting is the brand name for a group of existing businesses .We provide services that improve business performance in both strategy, people and technology, allowing them to maximise their business potential and profitability.
We currently deliver this range of services under two separate brands, Aurora Training http://www.auroratraining.com & Revive Digital http://www.revivedigital.co.uk
However, our brand presence is going through an evolution and requires an update as we move into larger global markets, bring our service offering together and open offices in Malaysia this year. We need one brand presence that pulls together all of the elements of our existing services under the name Aurora Consulting.
The name Aurora was originally chosen for many reasons. We aim to give individuals and companies their own 'aura' glow that comes from working with us, also the Aurora Borealis is the strongest natural force of energy in the universe and Aurora is the Roman goddess of the dawn - and we like to believe we are the dawn of change for many individuals and organisations. So definately lots of underlying references to light, energy and change, having said that the branding must appeal to both genders and our target corporate audience.
The successful candidate will also be invited to work on web & print as well as benefit from other referrals from our own digital marketing agency.
We currently have a strong presence within our regional geography but this is largely with SMEs and start-up businesses. This presence is also very strongly associated with our MD Nicola Cook.
Aurora Consulting will be focusing more on our larger and international clients which include medium to large corporate organisations (usually £3Mill turnover+) and also public sector bodies and government departments.
In order to acheive the required springboard into new geographical markets and avoid been 'pigeon holed' as we continue to add new services our new image needs to project quality, size and total professionalism.
Aurora Consulting will be targeting the medium to large corporate market within the UK and the Far East.
We need an elegant, bold design that grabs the attention of a potential customer, whilst also reflecting our brand values
We are completely open to radical ideas that bare no resemblance to our existing visuals. Please feel free to experiment with any colour combinations, graphics, fonts, bold, soft etc.
Also please note that the existing references to Nicola Cook as part of the current identity will be dropped from this rebrand. Our sister company http://www.nicolacook.com will remain but will no longer be directly linked to Aurora Consulting.
Some examples of exitising companies in similar fields to ourselves.

Big report today from Taiwanese paper DigiTimes on Apple's plans for the iPhone.
It says Apple is working on a cheaper iPhone aimed at China and emerging markets which it will roll out in the second half of the year.
It also says that some sources have seen an early version of the phone. It will reportedly have a larger screen and "a brand new exterior design".
DigiTimes also says Apple has been influenced by the success of the relatively low-cost iPad Mini to introduce a low-cost iPhone.
OK. That's the news. Let's unpack it a bit.
Do we trust DigiTimes? The paper has a mixed track record. But, it's pretty accurate when it comes to information from its supply chain sources, so we're willing to believe parts of this report.
Topeka Capital analyst Brian White reported Apple was working on a phone with a bigger screen after he returned from China.
However, a lot can change for Apple between January and the second half of the year. It might not be able to manufacture the phones to its liking. Component pricing might not be where it wants it to be. Lots can go wrong.
In 2011, Bloomberg, which is as accurate as it gets, reported Apple was making a smaller, cheaper iPhone to address emerging markets. That never panned out.
That said, it makes sense for Apple to do something to address parts of the world where pre-paid phones are more popular than subsidized phones bought with carrier contracts. This could mean a decline in profit growth, and margins, but if Apple wants to preserve unit growth and go for market share, we're not sure it has any other choice.
Putting aside the "cheap" part of the report, it sounds increasingly like Apple is working on a redesigned iPhone with a bigger screen. If this is true, it's a major departure from Apple's recent style of waiting a year to redesign the phone.
The rise of Samsung and the hyper-competitive smartphone market probably wouldn't let Apple sit still for a year.

Honda CBR300R unveiled
Remember we told you about a Honda CBR300R in our September issue this year? Well, seems that we were wrong, and right in a way. As we like to brag about what we did right, let's go for that bit first. Yes, the Honda CBR300R was in the pipeline and will be unveiled to the public on October 17th at the China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition (CIMAMotor) in Chongqing, China.
As for the bits where we were a little off-the-mark – the CBR300R won't look like a 250R clone as we had predicted. Instead, it ditches the Y-shaped headlight design of the 250R for an aggressive twin headlight cluster of the CBR500R and the rest of the CBR family. The other noticeable difference is the cylindrical exhaust that replaces bulky triangular-shaped exhaust of the 250R.
For the juicy bits. The 286cc engine will make 30bhp and 27Nm of torque, 4bhp and more than 4Nm of torque over and above the existing motor's output. As far as pricing goes, we think Honda will price the CBR300R at almost the same price as the 250R – thanks to KTM's aggressive pricing strategy.
The real noodle-scratcher is will the Honda CBR300R come to India? The answer - of course it will! When? For that we might have to wait for the 2014 Delhi Auto Expo to know more.

Jessica Ennis-Hill has wished Jenson Button luck ahead of the British Grand Prix this weekend at Silverstone.
The athletics star told her official Facebook page: "Good luck to my fellow Santander ambassador Jenson Button this weekend at Silverstone – I can't be there as I'm training."
Button, nor teammate Nico Rosberg, have finished on the podium so far this season in what has been a disappointing campaign for Mercedes.
But Button will be hoping that he can have his best performance so far this season in-front of an expectant home-crowd.
Button is currently 10th in the Formula One driver's standings whilst fellow British hopes Lewis Hamilton and Paul di Resta are currently placed 4th and 8th, respectively.
Ennis-Hill, meanwhile, is in training for the upcoming World Championships in Moscow, as she looks to recover from an Achilles injury - the competition takes place in August.
The Olympic gold medalist will be amongst Britain's major medal hopes in the Championships.

The Friends of Pastorius Park are baffled by a spree of vandalism in which several of the park's concrete benches were displaced and destroyed.
Last week, vandals displaced and threw parts of a concrete bench in the park's pond. They also uprooted another concrete bench anchored on the side of the warming hut and toppled over several trashcans with concrete bases.
Peter O'Connor, president of the Friends of Pastorius Park, said the group has long fought graffiti and litter, but the recent attacks on park benches were new.
"Every year we'll go though [spurts of vandalism], but it's not this bad," he said. "We'll usually just find smashed beer bottles and drug paraphernalia."
O'Connor and the Friends were quick to respond to the vandalism. On Wednesday, O'Connor sent a mason to the park to fix the damage
John Leyden, owner of Cornerstone Pointing and Masonry, and his workers fixed the bench on the side of the warming hut and performed general repairs to stone steps on Wednesday.
After assessing the damage, he was convinced the vandals came to the park, tools in hand, to destroy the benches
"They were using tools [to uproot the bench]," he said. "[My workers] couldn't move it without tools."
Leyden also said the damaged bench that had been thrown in the pond was beyond repair.
Elizabeth Shammash, who lives near the park, said she comes often and thinks the park is usually kept clean and usually doesn't have any vandalism.
"It really makes me sad," she said. "I think this is a very special park. Generally the people who come here really take care of it."
Although the friends moved quickly to repair the benches, O'Connor said that whenever the group comes across any act of vandalism, it will notify the police before cleaning up whatever mess is made.
"There's nothing we can do other than call 9-1-1," he said. "[And police and park rangers] can't be there 24 hours a day."
But O'Connor added that he plans on looking at options to better deter vandalism at the park. He said measures taken in years past to better light the park resulted in smashed lights.
In late April, the Friends will have a meeting with police in attendance, to talk about the problem.

It begins at Walter A. Garlinge Memorial Park at 72nd Street and Grand Avenue with
a ceremony following the parade at Maspeth Memorial Square at 69th Street and Grand Avenue.
This year's grand marshals include George O'Neill, who was raised in Maspeth by his parents George and Marion O'Neill.
It was their American dream to start a business, and since 1933 the Plateau Tavern, now O'Neill's Restaurant, has been a staple in the community.
O'Neill was born in 1935, the oldest of four sons that included Richie, Neil and James. They all worked in some capacity in the business from an early age.
"I was working at eight years old," said O'Neill.
O'Neill served in the Army from October 1954 to September 1956. He attended Pasadena City College and then returned to New York to work in the restaurant business.
O'Neill grew the business, and it became a famous hangout for the 1986 Mets and other well-known figures in sports.
O'Neill has been married to wife Mary for over 52 years, and raising six children, George, Tara, Marybeth, Deirdre, Jennifer and Tracy, in Maspeth. They all graduated from St. Mary's of Winfield.
He has 17 grandchildren, who all look up to their grandfather as someone who helps others before himself.
O'Neill donates to local churches and numerous charitable causes, including hosting fundraisers for the 9/11 causes, St. Jude's Hospital, Wounded Warriors, The Frances Pope Memorial Foundation, The Michelle O'Neill Foundation and Shriners Hospital, to name a few.
Joining O'Neill to lead this year's parade is Gloria Ann Hadziutko Maciag.
Maciag was born in 1961 to Gloria and Joseph Hadziutko, and has been a part of several community groups over the years in Maspeth, where she was born and raised.
In 1976, she joined the Polonaise Folk Dance Group of Maspeth, where she danced for five years.
She was crowned Miss Polonia of Holy Cross Parish, where she had the opportunity to represent Maspeth in the Pulaski Day Parade and the National Ball held at the Waldorf Astoria.
A graduate of Christ the King High School, in 2005 Maciag was named Citizen of the Year by the Polish American World Newspaper. She continues to serve her community through Frank Kowalinski Post 4, where she has been a member for 29 years.
She now serves as Kowalinski Hall manager, setting up post and member parties. She also volunteers with the Kowalinski Ladies Auxiliary Chapter 4, and has been the president of the organization for 21 years.
On top of her dedication to the Kowalinski Post, she is also a member of the Maspeth Lions Club and 5 Towns Club of Maspeth.
Maciag has been married to husband Albert for 32 years, with whom she has a son, John Joseph.

Solar Charging Stations in New York City
/ July 9, 2013
When Superstorm Sandy hit, thousands without power at home flocked to local eateries in and around New York City for more than just sustenance. The most sought-after resource was an electrical outlet where victims of the storm could charge their cellphones.
In an effort to increase its resilience in times of crisis, the city has partnered with AT&T to set up 25 solar-powered charging stations across New York City's five boroughs. The public seeking to power up their phones, tablets and other mobile devices can use the stations 24 hours a day, whether or not the sun is shining. Installation of all 25 units is expected by the end of the summer.

In a well-attended special December meeting, the Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee voted 6 to 1 Wednesday night to support Bowman Properties' proposal to build a Fresh Market shopping center and mixed-use development on the site of the now-closed Magarity Ford car dealership at 8200 Germantown Avenue.
The vote came at the end of a hurried hour spent almost exclusively on committee member Joyce Lenhardt's report detailing the results of the final negotiations between the negotiating subcommittee and Bowman Properties. Concessions made by Bowman include a lowered height for the building, a reduction in the number of townhomes at the rear of the property along Shawnee Street, and an increase in buffering around the site, among many others.
The specified terms of these concessions, organized in a document, titled "8200 Germantown Avenue – Development Standards," fall into three main categories: building dimensional and massing standards, site development details, and deed restrictions that will run with the property regardless of owner, were presented
These terms will be incorporated into a binding legal document that Bowman Properties' president Richard Snowden said he will sign.
Committee co-chair Cynthia Brey was the lone dissenter when the vote was taken, saying that while she applauded the efforts of Lenhardt and the other committee members, she felt the negotiated changes to the building weren't substantive enough to make a significant difference.
"It is my opinion that the project will erode the concept of village character," she said, adding that the project sets a dangerous prescedent for future rezoning.
Her remarks were greeted by applause by some of those present.
The crowd, close to 70 strong, and many in opposition to Bowman's proposal, remained in place for the monthly meeting of the Development Review Committee meeting that followed immediately after.
Bowman Properties architect Richard Gelber briefly reviewed the most recent version of the plan before committee co-chair Larry McEwen surveyed DRC members for the recommendations of the represented subcommittees. Tom Hemphill indicated the favorable support of the Traffic, Transportation, and Parking Committee, as did LUPZ co-chair John Landis, indicating "majority in favor."
Speaking for the Historic District Advisory Committee, Patricia Cove expressed concern for the impact the development might have on the historic village atmosphere of Chestnut Hill, but was encouraged by Bowman's willingness to continue working with the CHCA through the design review process. She cited Annapolis and Princeton as examples of other historic communities that successfully incorporated similarly large developments and expressed support for the project.
The DRC ultimately voted 4 to 1 in favor, with Brey, again, the lone dissenter.
The recommendations will be sent along to the Chestnut Hill Community ASsociation board, which will vote on the matter on Monday, Dec. 12.

The year was 2009. In our first installment, "The Fellowship of the Harp", the Moya Brennan Forummers had found the One Harp and entrusted it to the safekeeping of Clanydd, the creature with six noses and four arses.
Now, fast-forward to 2029. Much had changed in the past 20 years. Many of the Forummers had started families of their own, adding to the ranks of the Fellowship of the Harp. Chris, of course, had gone off to "greener pastures" and Goob had gone to that Big Can of Tuna in the Sky.
But something had remained a mystery. What had happened to Jim and Tallulah? They had not been seen or heard from in nearly 20 years.
Thus begins the story of the search for Jim and Tallulah.
OK, who wants to be first up? Grania? Dubhy? Angoid? Any takers?

Usually silent in defeat, The Citadel locker room was loud with the sound of hot tempers Saturday night. Voices were raised and doors slammed after a 24-17 loss to rival Furman before 12,693 fans at Johnson Hagood Stadium, leaving the Bulldogs with a 1-4 record nearly halfway through a once eagerly anticipated football season.
"We need a reality check," said senior fullback Darien Robinson after The Citadel fell to 1-2 in the Southern Conference. "We talk a lot about what we want to achieve as a team, but we don't go out there and play like it. We've got to look ourselves in the mirror and decide what we really want to do with this season. "It could go a good way or a bad way, and we have to figure it out."
Furman (2-2, 1-0), which needed a last-second blocked field goal two weeks ago just to beat Presbyterian, avenged last year's 42-20 loss to The Citadel with a backup quarterback polishing off the victory. Freshman Duncan Fletcher, in for injured starter Reese Hannon, hit receiver Gary Robinson deep for 43 yards, setting up the Paladins' go-ahead TD. Fullback Tanner Skogen scored from 13 yards out to give Furman a 24-17 lead with 9:43 left.
The Citadel had two chances to tie it, but backup QB Aaron Miller's pass on fourth-and-9 from the Furman 20 was behind slotback Vinny Miller, ending the Bulldogs' final threat with 1:10 left.
Two Fletcher kneeldowns set off a purple party in the visitors' stands, while Bulldogs faithful were stunned by a third straight home loss. "We have been trying to get over the hump in winning some close games," said Furman coach Bruce Fowler, now 11-15 in his third season. "Last week, we really squeaked a win out at the end, and this week maybe when it got down towards the end of the game, our guys drew on that experience."
The Bulldogs, meanwhile, must first find the hump before they can think about getting over it. "We're going to have to have people step up and become leaders and push through this adversity," said Citadel QB Aaron Miller, whose 59-yard TD bomb to Robinson tied the score at 17-17 with 14:51 left. "It's going downhill, and we need to stop it right now." Two of The Citadel's first three losses featured unique brands of self-destruction — two dropped punts against Charleston Southern, failure to recover two onside kicks at Old Dominion — and this game was no different.
An interception of an Aaron Miller pass by Furman corner Reggie Thomas set up the Paladins' go-ahead TD. And two Citadel penalties were killers — a chop block on tackle Devin Bice when the Bulldogs had first down at the Furman 8 after a 36-yard run by Jake Stenson; and an intentional grounding call on QB Ben Dupree after his 32-yard pass to Vinny Miller, both in the third quarter. A bad snap on the Bulldogs' final drive didn't help, either. "Seemed like every time we hit a big play, we got a penalty," said coach Kevin Higgins.
After watching tape of The Citadel's 59-58 loss at ODU, in which the Bulldogs ran for 453 yards, Furman's defense stacked the box with nine players and dared the Bulldogs to pass. The Citadel was held to 132 yards rushing out of 321 total, the first time since Higgins went to the triple option in 2010 that the Bulldogs had more yards passing than rushing. "They were begging us to throw some play-action passes," said Higgins, whose quarterbacks hit 13 of 22 passes for 189 yards and two scores, including Dupree's 15-yard TD pass to Stenson. "But we didn't do enough damage there."
Meanwhile, two long balls by Furman proved costly. After The Citadel cut the Paladins' lead to 10-7 late in the first half, Hannon found receiver Gary Robinson on a mismatch against Bulldogs linebacker Rah Muhammad for a 36-yard ain. That set up Terry Robinson for his second TD run, a 2-yarder for a 17-7 lead just 24 seconds before the half. The second long ball was Fletcher's 43-yarder to a diving Gary Robinson in the fourth quarter, setting up the go-ahead TD. Safety Nick Willis was in position, but could not beat Robinson, who caught eight passes for 133 yards.
"We didn't play the long ball very well," Higgins said after Furman's quarterbacks combined to hit 16 of 21 passes for 228 yards. "The one before the half really hurt us. We should have had a centerfielder there. On the second one, we had a centerfielder there but didn't make the play."
Now, the Bulldogs face former SoCon power Appalachian State, stumbling toward FBS and the Sun Belt with a 1-3 record after Saturday's 27-24 loss to Charleston Southern. "Sounds like we and App State are in the same boat, with high expectations going in," Higgins said. "We have to figure out how not to give up so many big plays, and how to get the running game going."
Notes from the game:
The Citadel played without slotbacks Dalton Trevino (knee) and Devan Robbins, a freshman who has left school for personal reasons … The last three Citadel touchdowns have come on passes, two against Furman and one against ODU, and two of them caught by slotback Jake Stenson … Linebacker Carl Robinson led the Bulldogs with eight tackles, and linebacker James Riley and safety Akeem Garnett had seven each … Justin Oxendine and Cam Mobley each had a sack; Oxendine had 2.5 tackles for loss.
The Bulldogs wore throwback jerseys with a big block "C" on the front during pre-game warmups, but had to change to their standard uniforms for the game. Citadel officials said the SoCon had approved the throwback uniforms, but word apparently did reach the game officials. They ruled that the numbers on the front of the throwback jerseys were too small.

7 killed in gun attack in violent Mexican state
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican officials say gunmen burst into a home in the western state of Michoacan and opened fire, killing seven people and wounding nine.
State prosecutors say the shooting Sunday night in the town of Tuxpan targeted a family that had fled threats from members of organized crime in the state of Mexico.
Officials say at least 47 shots were fired from two high-caliber weapons.
The family had fled in January to Michoacan, which is one of the most violent states in Mexico and the center of a struggling federal government effort to reassert state control.
Authorities say that elsewhere in Michoacan, police found the bodies of two men hanging from a tree in the town of Los Reyes along with a message threatening the community's self-defense group.

Spurs' Kawhi Leonard: "Feeling Better, No Rift With Team"
San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard is working his way back form a quadriceps injury and hopes to take the floor this season. Leonard spoke with the media on Wednesday and says he's close to a return, but isn't sure when. The two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year has been limited to just nine games this season because of the injury. Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said last month that Leonard was unlikely to play this year, but the organization has changed its stance in recent weeks. Leonard also denied there is a rift between him, Popovich, and the front office and added that all decisions have been made as a team.
Entering Wednesday, the Spurs were 37-and-27, good for the fifth seed in the Western Conference.

This is pushing quite some other people who were messing around with PS3 Linux in the same direction. I know we're just a tiny minority of the user-base, but this seems to give the PS3 hacking effort a massive boost.
the CBE has been a fun processor to play around with, and I'm not going to let my code go to waste. If it takes a custom firmware to be able to keep it.. so be it.

Weapon Description - Skip the details on the rare metal Morthile, mention it in name and unique coloration/properties. "The blade is forged from morthile, a mythical ore that brings sorrow to anyone who gazes at for too long."Morthile's origin is not important to the introduction. A better idea is to catch the audience with an interesting description of the weapon (at least in this case, since the submission is about the weapon). You can also open up with a story fragment on occasion. Make it catch the reader's curiosity so that they read on to know what the real story is.Give more details to the weapon. Ice blue diamond on the pommel is a good start. Some details on blade length and shape are useful. The hilt/guard area is always good to include as well.
History – Needs an overhaul/complete rewrite. Honestly, detailing every aspect of how and why a weapon came to be magical/legendary isn't always important. Naming the four Dwarven smiths who did nothing but forge the weapons and the Elf who turned on everyone is much less important that naming the weapon's previous owners.I'm not sure how to salvage the current content for reuse. I'd hold onto the secret elven metal idea, guarded by the Karhan. Use it as a support to the history.My idea would be to make the Blade of Chill a part of the world's history. That's where my mind goes with this. High Elves of The North used the Blade of Chill to ward off severe winters. They had a ritual they performed every cold season to their Winter God which spared them from the worst of it. Then the sword was stolen away. Now The North is a frozen wasteland, if you travel far enough you can find elven structures frozen under thick ice, sometimes with elves included. Nothing has been found capable of chipping the ice, and in this area the Karhan now run wild. Insane beasts that appear only as slashing claws and fangs out of the snow flurries. Of course, very few besides the elves even knew of the Karhan, so they will have a different name to most people.I'm starting to have idea for a heroic quest around this blade. Retrieve it, bring it to the Unfrozen Altar (a spot eerily barren of ice and snow), make the proper sacrifice.
Magical Properties – Keep them the same. This new writing becomes less about the blade as a weapon, however a hero would likely have to fight the one who took it.

This blog is about fairness; about looking at objects from multiple perspectives. Stable transformation comes only slowly; and only if the environment is free of sporadic jitters of passion and anger that destabilize growth. I strongly believe that the path to peace crosses through the battle with self.

Wishful Thinking
Last week, when the rumors of their arrest was taking a more serious tone, Ayatollah Montazeri's son wrote a public letter to Khamenei and asked him to hold a 'friendly' meeting with Mousavi, Karoubi, Khatami, and Hashemi to discuss matters in the spirit of old days when they were all colleagues. After all, these five men were the pillars on which the Islamic republic of Iran stood for over 25 years; before the virus, Ahmadinejad took over.
Also, Ali Motahari made a public suggestion that the state television should invite Mousavi and Karoubi and give them a chance to explain themselves and express their concerns to the people.
Since two days ago, more and more religious leaders have come out to condemn the house arrest of these men; and a total black out in their homes: not only the lights of their houses have been off, but also their children are in absolute dark about the fate of their parents. Ayatollahs Dastgheyb, Bayat Zanjani, and Sane'i, all "grand Ayatollahs" with their own followers have condemned the illegal detention of the these men and their spouses.
Iranians have pledged to pour out in the streets and protest the illegal and unexplained abduction of their leaders.
On the other hand, pressures on Hashemi have been increasing.
Last week his daughter came under attack by thugs who shouted at her, called her a whore, a bastard and pledged to rape her! (Yes, these are the men of the Islamic Republic we are talking about--and no, they are not the ones hired from Lebanon Hezbollah. Those just beat and take pictures. If this happens to a private citizen like me, the IRI security forces have the right to arrest the man shouting such obscenities. In fact,. they have a lot of patrols to make sure such men do not harass women. However, when this happens to teh daughter of Hashemi, the attorney general states that "persecution of the individuals needs Ms Hashemi to file an official complaint!".
Hashemi's candidacy to run for the head of The Assembly of Experts (a body that is in charge of watching over the supreme leader's "justice to rule') has also come under attack. Reportedly, 60 members of the Assembly have signed a petition for Mahdavi Kani to run for the position. Despite pressure, Hashemi has not back tracked and has maintained that it is his duty and obligation to the country and the Revolution to run and serve in the assembly.
However, poor Hashemi is getting it from both sides!
While under pressure ( I mean belligerent threats that either condemn before next week or await a similar fate) from hardliners (who had already detained Mousavi and Karoubi), Hashemi condemned the Feb 14 unrest. It was a mild condemnation but it didn't take the Greens to come out in mass and express dismay and hatred for him. Someone wrote: The extremists on both sides give Hashemi Shit while inviting him to join their camp!. However he has so far maintained his independence from both camps, a strategy, that in my opinion is right.
Already, a large number of Greens hate Hashemi; and Hashemi is well aware of that the hatred of the populist bases of Ahmadinejad is fueled by his personal wealth, and by never proven allegations of the corruption of his sons. So, if he sided with the Greens, in my view he will have damaged them more than keeping a distance with them. However, Hashemi has never back-tracked from the position he announced upon the start of the mayhem.
With that overview, what is my wishful thinking?
Well, only that they are not going to kill them or slit their throats as the thugs had promised. Ironically, the conservatives admitted that Mousavi, Karoubi and their wives (a doctor and a university professor) have been "moved to a safe house outside Tehran", implying that their staying out of prison was "unsafe" for them!!! Of course, it is not because the state is worried about these "mohareb"s (combatants against the regime) getting killed. One of their idiots in charge had admitted that they were taken in a safe house because the green movement was looking for their martyrdom to find extra excuse for rebellion!!!
Have they killed them already? Are the reports of their bloody bodies dragged into the prison and moving Karoubi in a body bag in the trunck of a car true?I hope not.
Would Khamenei meet with these men in private? Will he make deals and concessions with them? Everytime the regime takes a "carrot" posture after a sticky one, they bring up the prosecution of Ghazi Mortazavi, the corrupt judge responsible for the rapes and killings in Kahrizak. Would Khamenei STOP this madness ... will he stop this madness ... this madness ...
I guess I am thinking wishfully ...
Update: Tehran is on rooftops with Allah o Akbar; and Fars News is denying the arrests, although it was the attorney General, Mohseni Ejehi (the man who bit a journalist, Eesa Saharkhiz, in the parliament, literally with his teeth!!)

These are distressing developments Naj.Just the other day I discussed Karoubi daring Tehran to try him openly so he can get the truth out so they arrest him.
I still absolutely believe that Ahmadinejad and the IRG run the show today.
the IRGC was set up to protect the ruling authority after 1979 and are supposed to be controlled by Ayatollah Khamenei authority. I know Ahmadinejad and 2/3 of his first 21 member cabinet are ex IRGC members and that simply reinforces that I am increasingly led to think the IRGC has become the final authority not the Supreme leader.
The Supreme leader is appearing as a puppet needed to keep the religious leaders together and to make it appear that they are still in charge. They have become a major force capable of taking control of Iran and I am afraid nothing less than that is what has happened.Iran is not going to let their fascist agenda be stopped now.
We gave Iran their nuclear start in the fifties they are not going to stop and we will not know where they are till they possess a nuke.
I wonder what the people are going to do? I really don't like these latest developments and what they mean for average Iranian's and the world especially in light of what is happening in North Africa and the Middle East.

How about proving all of us liars wrong and letting Mousavi and Karoubi go about their business as before, so we can see their pictures holding new year tea parties? huh? I say you campaign for that, if you wanna shut us 'liars' up!

In regards to your first post:
Ahmadinejad, as a politician, has been trying to go as far as he can go; he cannot comment about every little incident.
And he does not control those non-uniformed louts; they do not report to him.
In regards to your second post:
That is true.
The issue is not the Hizbullah; it is the culture of the Iranian people with overt rigid religiosity, lack of tolerance, bigotism, loutishness etc.
This will take very long to eradicate.

"Million Dollar Quartet" comes to the Providence Performing Arts Center on the heels of the fabulous "Jekyll and Hyde" January 15-20. While "Jekyll and Hyde" is on its way to Broadway, the Tony award-winning "Million Dollar Quartet" is still on Broadway, with another great cast bringing the musical across the country.
I spoke with Billy Woodward, who was in the Broadway production and is now traveling with the show as Elvis.
"We're in our second of three weeks at the Eisenhower Theatre in the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., right near my home in Maryland," Billy said, "so I'm getting a chance to catch up with old friends. I even did a gig with my band on our night off."
Woodward is the lead singer and songwriter for Billy Woodward and the Senders, a popular rock band that has cut a number of albums and gets together "every time I have a break."
Billy was performing in an annual benefit in Baltimore called "The Night of 100 Elvises." The show had sent a casting director to check it out, liked Billy's style and called him for an audition. The rest, as they say, is history.
"I was on my last day as an art director for a local animation company and had decided to try something new when I got the call," he said. "I decided to give it a try and see what happens, and I got the role. It was my first time on Broadway, and I loved it."
Now he's on the road, traveling with his girlfriend, who is with the merchandise part of the production.
"She's a photographer, and we both like to wander around the cities we visit taking photos."
They have never been in Rhode Island, so when I told him about the RISD museum, he made sure it was on the top of his list.
"I love this show," he said. "I get a chance to show Elvis in a different light. To revisit what made him a star. He had loads of energy and love for the music."
"Million Dollar Quartet" was inspired by the true story of the famed recording session, where Sam Phillips, the Father of Rock 'n' Roll, brought together icons Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash for one unforgettable night. It is loaded with that great music from 1956 and gives us an insight into the four singers.
"Million Dollar Quartet" is at the Providence Performing Arts Center from January 15-20. Tickets are available by calling 421-ARTS.

Who else wants to know the secret to house training your puppy? The secret is that there really is no big secret. Here is how it works: You need patience, you must be persistent, and you must be firm but gentle. House training your puppy properly will set the stage for an unbreakable, loving bond with your puppy.
It may very well be that the idea of house training your puppy makes you shudder and cringe at the thought of yourself sopping up rivers of pee and worse. For many, the mere utterance of the word, "potty training" sends them running for high ground. You don't have to be among their number if you understand the key elements of housebreaking your puppy.
How long does it take to before you have a potty discipline puppy? Experts say–and my own experience confirms this–that you should see consistent results in two to three weeks. However, professionals also warn that it may take two to three months without the dog eliminating before the job is truly accomplished.
If there is a secret to housebreaking your puppy, if there is one, single fundamental that you must keep in mind, it is this: routine. Dogs are creatures of habit, and a predictable routine helps make your dog feel secure. For that reason, you want to make your training the same and follow an exact, unvarying regimen.
The key basics to house training your puppy include the following: set a routine and do not change it; take your puppy outside to go to the bathroom once every one or two hours; establish a schedule for feeding and do not change it; accompany your puppy outside ten to fifteen minutes after feeding; praise your puppy when it eliminates outside; accidents are bound to happen inside–never show anger when this occurs; and last, thoroughly clean the areas inside where the puppy has made a mess.
These steps alone are key to new puppy training. If you adhere to the house training tips set forth above in a firm and loving manner, you will not only successfully potty train your puppy, you will be well on the way to sound relationship with your pet.
House training your puppy for health and happiness.. How to get the most out of puppy training techniques–start today!

WASHINGTON, March 8 (UPI) -- House leaders announced they drafted legislation that would strip authority from the president to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline planned from Canada.
The U.S. State Department last week submitted a draft environmental review of Keystone XL. The report said there would be few environmental side effects from pipeline construction.
U.S. President Barack Obama would ultimately determine if the project is in the national interest.
U.S. Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb., author of the legislation, said it's time for legislators to step in to get the project approved.
"It's been over four years and thousands of pages of environmental reviews. The experts have weighed in," he said in a statement. "Now is the time to build the Keystone pipeline."
Lee's legislation, dubbed the Northern Route Approval Act, states that "no presidential permit shall be required" for the planned $7 billion pipeline. It says securing oil from Canada is in the national interest because it would shield U.S. markets from other market issues.
Oil Change International, a group opposing Keystone XL, says the co-sponsors of Lee's measure received, in total, more than $1.6 million in campaign contributions from oil companies.
Supporters of the pipeline say it's good for energy security and economic stimulus. Detractors said the amount of greenhouse gas emissions tied to oil sands production is too great of a risk.

Restructuring and outsourcing some city government services and finalizing the new use for City Hall were among the priorities for 2013 outlined during a comprehensive Newport Beach City Council special meeting Saturday morning.
The seven-member council, as well as City Manager Dave Kiff and other city leaders, met at the OASIS Senior Center for three and a half hours to discuss 2012 and the ongoing year.
Kiff started the session with a presentation on last year's accomplishments, which included acquiring a coastal development permit for Sunset Ridge Park, removing contaminated material in Newport Harbor, balancing the city budget and adding to the reserves, and successfully negotiating with organized labor.
The harbor project, which repurposed the material for use in the Port of Long Beach's expansion effort, was a "once in a generation" project, Kiff said.
Kiff also credited the city's Police Department for the reduction last year in part one crimes, which include both violence and property crimes such as murder, vehicle theft, robbery, rape and aggravated assault.
The newly opened Civic Center is another accomplishment that is nearing completion, Kiff said. Critics of the $131.4-million facility in Newport Center, however, have dubbed it the city's "Taj Mahal."
"This is the biggest project that the city's ever done ... [it was] essentially six projects taken into one," Kiff said.
The local economy is also showing some indicators of improvement, he said.
Revenue from sales taxes is up 5%, according to city officials. Revenue from property taxes and the transient occupancy tax — obtained through overnight stays at hotels — is up by 1 and 4 percent, respectively.
"These are all good signs … certainly not steamrolling forward, but good signs as well," Kiff said.
Other city priorities include possibly modernizing Newport Beach Television, or NBTV, improving the city's hardware and software computer applications, addressing the West Newport facilities plan and completing the revitalization of Balboa Village.
Capital projects that are effectively green-lit in the fiscal year 2012-13 city budget include the Civic Center, Marina Park, Sunset Ridge Park and bicycle safety improvements.

This was an exclusive Comic Con trailer made especially for the Doctor Who 50th panel, it has not been released in the US.
This world famous international event is an established platform used by all of the major producers. UK fans can look forward to exclusive content over the next few months.
Fans have been generally disappointed this year at the lack of the BBC's celebrations, with lots of small things building up, such as the lack of the 50th trailer, the Series 7 Boxset which is being released more than a month after America's with less content on it, or BBC America's The Doctors' Revisited specials not showing sign of a UK release.
What do you think? Is the issue of the 50th Anniversary trailer being shown at Comic Con important enough to complain? Is the response adequate? Will they follow up with their promise of exclusive content? Are the BBC doing enough to celebrate, or should they do more?

Changing the future of fuel
What was once considered science fiction (think Back to the Future) now is reality. Well, almost.
They aren't stuffing wilted lettuce and banana peels into gas tanks, but students with ISU BioBus are recycling waste vegetable oil from an Iowa State dining hall into biofuel to supplement the diesel fuel in a bus from Ames' CyRide fleet.
ISU BioBus, an entrepreneurial student organization created three years ago, currently has about 100 members from all academic disciplines.
David Correll, a Ph.D. candidate in the College of Business and one of the founders of ISU BioBus, says the organization is a good fit for students concerned about the environment.
"We're engaging students to reduce the carbon footprint of their own community," Correll said.
From French fries to fuel
Students meet twice each week to convert the vegetable oil into biofuel using a process called transesterification, which permanently thins the vegetable oil. They even built their own contraption -- the Super Sucker -- to retrieve the vegetable oil from the dining hall. Fifty gallons of used vegetable oil yields about 50 gallons of biofuel.
It's hard to comprehend that standard vegetable oil, which once cooked French fries and chicken strips, can power a bus. But it seems to works pretty well, according to James Rendall, maintenance coordinator at CyRide.
"CyRide has been using fuel from BioBus since last spring," Rendall said. "We haven't seen any issues arise due to the BioBus fuel."
So, does the bus exhaust smell like French fries?
"Yes, it can," Correll said. "It's not as noticeable in our case because [the fuel] is a blend."
Future looks bright
ISU BioBus is in the process of developing a comprehensive business plan to increase the number of CyRide buses that use biofuel.
"My hope is to see more biobuses driving around," Correll said. "I also want to see [ISU BioBus] continue so that students get experience in making biofuel and being entrepreneurs."
