Author: Julie Kagawa
Release date: 25th October 2011
Published by: Harlequin
Genre: YA
Blurb: Ash, former prince of the Winter Court, gave up everything. His title, his home, even his vow of loyalty. All for a girl… and all for nothing.
Unless he can earn a soul.
To cold, emotionless faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. His own love had died a horrible death, killing any gentler feelings the Winter prince might have had. Or so he thought.
Then Meghan Chase—a half human, half fey slip of a girl— smashed through his barricades, binding him to her irrevocably with his oath to be her knight. And when all of Faery nearly fell to the Iron fey, she severed their bond to save his life. Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive.
With the (unwelcome) company of his archrival, Summer Court prankster Puck, and the infuriating cait sith Grimalkin, Ash begins a journey he is bound to see through to its end— a quest to find a way to honor his solemn vow to stand by Meghan's side.
To survive in the Iron realm, Ash must have a soul and a mortal body. But the tests he must face to earn these things are impossible. At least, no one has ever passed to tell the tale.
And then Ash learns something that changes everything. A truth that turns reality upside down, challenges his darkest beliefs and shows him that, sometimes, it takes more than courage to make the ultimate sacrifice.
My Rating: A MUST READ!!
My Review: I was so happy to be able to read and review The Iron Knight thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin.
Wow..just wow! What an amazing conclusion to such a spine-tingling, awe-inspiring adventure.
I was truly captivated from the first few words, it was such a thrill to read from Ash's POV (don't get me wrong I love Meghan) it just helps us understand him a little better.
The story is wonderfully written, it took me on such an emotional journey, to feel what the characters where feeling I was literally glued to each page, at one point I was so mad I wanted to jump in the book and do some serious slapping, another I was in tears (make that a few times) *winks* while laughing out loud from alot of Puck's snarky comments (of course lol) Then I was gripping the edge of my seat in anticipation of what was going to happen next. But mostly I will admit while reading this story I had a smile plasted on my face pretty much the whole time... #TeamAsh *swoons*
We get introduced to new & old characters and some unexpected, each one brings something new and exciting to the story. Secrets get revealed, friendships get tested, can true love prevail?
Well to find the answer to that you'll need to read The Iron Knight, this has to be my favourite read of 2011.
Here's a little looksie into picking Ash and Puck for the cover...
I've already pre-ordered my copy...here's where you can too THE BOOK DEPOSITORY OR AMAZON

This Sebo vacuum cleaner is perfect for leaving floors spotless – both quickly and easily. It comes with a modern red finish, and is exclusive to Euronics and agent stores.
Upright Vacuuming
Upright vacuum cleaners offer a range of benefits over cylinder models. They're particularly good at removing dirt lodged into carpets, and offer larger dustbin capacities – so you can spend less time emptying and more time cleaning.
This model is also bagged and hassle-free – so when it's full, all you need to do is swap the bag with a new one. The 91503GB uses Sebo's Ultra bags, which deliver optimum performance and hygienic, S-class filtration.
A long, 10 metre cable and wide, 11 metre cleaning radius equal less plug swapping, so you can whiz through your vacuuming in no time. Plus, a longer flex means the cable is less likely to lift off the floor if pulled tight, which cuts the risk of knocking things over.
Clean Everywhere
Delivering optimum suction no matter the floor, this Sebo vacuum cleaner will adjust the brush's height automatically. When you're on carpets, the brush will lift, and when you're on hard floors, the brush will lower.
Unlike many upright cleaners, the Sebo X7 also cleans flat to the floor. This means it can clean under furniture as effectively as a cylinder vacuum.
Coming with an integrated hose and wand, the 91503GB can clean awkward crevices and under furniture. It is particularly good at reaching high ceilings to remove irritating cobwebs with ease.
You'll even find a range of attachments with this vacuum cleaner, including a crevice nozzle and an upholstery nozzle. The latter is excellent for cleaning sofas, chairs and curtains.
Powerful, Reliable Performance
A powerful, 890 watt motor drives the 91503GB, ensuring fantastic results every time you clean. The Sebo brand is known for its reliability and high design standards, so you can be assured your product will work at its best – time and time again.
This vacuum cleaner also features a Computer Control System to protect your machine. For example, if there's a blockage, this system will shut down the cleaner.
And, the cassette brush roller is easy to remove for quick and simple cleaning.
The 91503GB Sebo vacuum cleaner offers great performance and convenience. Put one in your shopping basket today.

Into the Mainstream
An array of right-wing foundations and think tanks support efforts to make bigoted and discredited ideas respectable.
Around the country, ideas that originated on the hard right or in the fevered imaginations of conspiracy theorists are finding their way into the mainstream. In a number of cases, these ideas have become commonplace in American minds.
Are black people inherently less intelligent and more prone to criminality than whites? Are Catholics incapable of self-government? Did the Civil Rights Act of 1964 strip Americans of their freedoms? Does a tiny cabal of Jewish families control international banking? Do interracial relationships have the effect of weakening both races? Are there natural ruling elites who should be governing society?
These are the kinds of ideas that are being popularized today.
How do ideas that once were denounced as racist, bigoted, unfair, or just plain mean-spirited get transmitted into mainstream discussions and political debates? Through a wide array of political and social networks. Such networks are a robust part of democracy in action, and include media outlets, think tanks, pressure groups, funders and leaders.
In the 1960s, for example, networks based in churches and on college campuses mobilized people to support civil rights legislation. But it is important to remember that backlash movements also formed to oppose equality. In the 1950s and 1960s, segregationists and white supremacists mobilized to block the demands of the civil rights movement.
Today, there are still political and social networks that seek to undermine full equality for all Americans. Their messages are spread using the standard tools: prejudice, fear, disdain, misinformation, trivialization, patronizing stereotypes, demonization and even scare-mongering conspiracy theories. While many of the groups within these networks describe themselves as mainstream — and many disagree with one another — they all have helped spread bigoted ideas into American life.
What follows are descriptions of a number of these institutions, organized alphabetically, that focus on their roles in spreading bigotry.
Organizations listed as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center are indicated by an asterisk.
The American Cause
American Enterprise Institute
American Immigration Control Foundation*
The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation
Castle Rock Foundation
Center for American Unity
Center for the Study of Popular Culture
Federation for American Immigration Reform
Free Congress Foundation
Institute for the Study of Man
Ludwig von Mises Institute
New Century Foundation*
John M. Olin Foundation
Pioneer Fund*
Rockford Institute
Scaife Foundations
The American Cause is a foundation founded and run by commentator and nativist firebrand Patrick Buchanan, a three-time presidential contender who may have done more than almost any other individual to popularize white supremacist and Christian nationalist ideas in America.
Founded in 1993 to promote "national sovereignty, economic patriotism, limited government and individual freedom," the organization is actually an echo chamber for Buchanan, who has long been disdainful of non-white immigration. In one 1984 column, Buchanan wrote that the issue of immigration has "almost nothing to do with economics, almost everything to do with race and ethnicity. If British subjects, fleeing a depression, were pouring into this country through Canada, there would be few alarms. The central objection to the present flood of illegals is they are not English-speaking white people from Western Europe; they are Spanish-speaking brown and black people from Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean."
Buchanan argues that democracy can only work in societies populated by a single ethnic or racial group and culture. His recent book The Death of the West bemoans the rise in non-white, non-Christian immigrants, and uses information from the racist New Century Foundation* to spread claims that blacks have an inherently more criminal nature than whites. He is also given to conspiracy theories about the New World Order, secular humanist plots and powerful Jewish elites. Buchanan's latest project is a magazine, The American Conservative.
Founded in 1943, the Washington, D.C.-based American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is one of the most influential conservative think tanks in America. While its roots are in pro-business values, AEI in recent years has sponsored scholars whose views are seen by many as bigoted or even racist.
For example, Dinesh D'Souza, the author of The End of Racism, holds an Olin Foundation research fellowship at AEI. D'Souza has suggested that civil rights activists actually help perpetuate racial tensions and division in the United States, and has even called for the repeal of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. After his book was published, black conservatives Robert Woodson and Glenn Loury denounced it — Woodson released a statement saying it "fans the flames of racial animosity" — and broke their own ties with AEI.
Another AEI-sponsored scholar, Charles Murray, is more controversial. Murray, who has a Bradley Foundation research fellowship at AEI, is the co-author of The Bell Curve, a book that argues that blacks and Latinos are genetically inferior to whites and that most social welfare and affirmative action programs are doomed to failure as a result. The book, described as a reheated "stale stew of racial eugenics" by historian Godfrey Hodgson, cites the work of some 16 researchers financed by the racist Pioneer Fund*.
The American Immigration Control Foundation, founded in 1983, has been headed since 1990 by John Vinson, a conspiracy-oriented Christian nationalist. Vinson wrote the AICF-published Immigration and Nation: A Biblical View, in which he claims that it is against God's will to weaken the "divinely unique" character of every nation.
In the case of America, Vinson makes clear in the booklet, that character belongs to English-speaking white Anglo-Saxon Protestants. In fact, Vinson attacks Catholics who came to America in the 19th century, claiming that because they did not understand God's plan, they foolishly supported a strong federal government and high taxes.
He says that assimilating "the races of the world" is "an impossible task," and argues that current immigration patterns may "destroy our nationhood." Vinson also attacks the "spiritual Balkanization" he says immigration of non-Christians promotes.
Closely tied to AICF is the lobbying group Americans for Immigration Control*, publisher of the newsletter Immigration Watch and distributor of an array of anti-immigrant books including the grotesquely racist French novel, The Camp of the Saints.
The Bradley Foundation was created with $290 million from the 1985 sale of a Milwaukee electrical parts business started in 1903 by brothers Lynde and Harry Bradley. With a mission of "strengthening American democratic capitalism and the institutions, principles and values that sustain and nurture it," the foundation funds a wide range of activities, including the arts, health care and education. But it has also funded an array of right-wing organizations, including the American Enterprise Institute, the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, the Free Congress Foundation and the Rockford Institute. The Free Congress Foundation has received more than $6 million, according to MediaTransparency.com.
The Castle Rock Foundation is controlled by members of the Coors family, whose fortune stems from the beer business. The foundation, whose board includes family members William K. (president), Peter H. (vice president), Jeffrey H. (treasurer), and Holland H. (trustee), has awarded grants to the American Enterprise Institute, the Center for the Study of Popular Culture and the far-right Free Congress Foundation.
The older Coors Foundation, which funded the Free Congress Foundation and similar groups for many years, no longer makes grants to ultraconservative groups.
Long-time anti-immigrant activist and author Peter Brimelow is the president of the Center for American Unity, a Virginia nonprofit foundation "dedicated to preserving our historical unity as Americans into the 21st Century." On the surface, the center is concerned with promoting English as a common language, but a bit of digging reveals concerns that non-white, Catholic, and Spanish-speaking immigrants are polluting America.
This is most obvious in the foundation's VDARE project, which is named after Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World in 1587. Brimelow says that he once planned to bestow Dare's name upon "the heroine of a projected fictional concluding chapter in Alien Nation [his anti-immigration book], about the flight of the last white family in Los Angeles."
Reviving a favorite theme of early nativists and the Ku Klux Klan, Brimelow attacks 19th-century Catholic immigrants for being supposedly subservient to popes and monarchs, and thus incompatible with democratic self-rule.
The VDARE Web site also contains an archive of columns by Sam Francis, the immigrant-bashing editor of the newspaper of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens*. In his columns, Francis rails against the "emerging Hispanic majority," plugs conspiracy theories, and promotes white racial consciousness.
In April, VDARE took one more step toward the racist right, publishing an essay on its Web site by white supremacist Jared Taylor that dismisses "the fantasy of racial equality," claims the Civil Rights Act of 1964 "stripped Americans of the right to make free decisions," and says that "[b]lacks, in particular, riot with little provocation," unlike the far more peaceable white race.
David Horowitz, a former leftist born again as a right-wing conservative, founded the Center for the Study of Popular Culture in 1989, and is also the editor of the Net publication FrontPageMagazine.com.
Although he makes much of his past working for civil rights for blacks and others, he more recently has blamed slavery on "black Africans ... abetted by dark-skinned Arabs" — a selective rewriting of history. He also claims that "there never was an anti-slavery movement until white Christians — Englishmen and Americans — created one." That, of course, is false. Critics note that Horowitz is ignoring everything from the slave revolt led by Spartacus against the Romans and Moses' rebellion against the Pharaoh to the role of American blacks in the abolition movement.
He has attacked minority "demands for special treatment" as "only necessary because some blacks can't seem to locate the ladder of opportunity within reach of others," rejecting the idea that they could be the victims of lingering racism.
Founded in 1978 by Michigan activist John Tanton of U.S. Inc. (see below), the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) blames immigrants for a host of social problems including crime, poverty, disease, urban sprawl, traffic jams, school overcrowding, racial tensions and potential terrorism.
Between 1985 and 1994, FAIR accepted some $1.2 million from the racist Pioneer Fund*, until bad publicity apparently convinced its leaders to desist. Another Pioneer Fund grant recipient, Garrett Hardin, was for years a FAIR adviser and remains a "board member emeritus." Hardin has opposed sending food aid to Africa because, he argues, that only encourages overpopulation. "Tragically, flights of food that save lives increase fertility — which increases the mistreatment of the environment." He also told OMNI magazine, "Looking at history with an open mind, you'll see that infanticide has been used as an effective population control."
FAIR has run ads that attacked then-Sen. Spencer Abraham (R.-Mich.), an Arab American, for supporting more visas for those with high-technology skills. The ads said Abraham's proposal would make it easier for Middle Eastern terrorists to strike, sparking widespread condemnation of what was seen as a race-based attack. On FAIR's board of advisors is Pat Choate, who helped white nationalist Patrick Buchanan take over the Reform Party prior to Buchanan's run for president in 2000.
In 1974, ultra-conservative political strategist Paul Weyrich and beer magnate Joseph Coors co-founded the Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress, which evolved into the Free Congress Foundation (FCF). This came after the Heritage Foundation they had earlier helped start moved too far into the mainstream for Weyrich's taste. FCF received funding from the Coors and later the Castle Rock Foundation, but even more so from far-right foundations controlled by Richard Mellon Scaife and his family.
In 1987, Weyrich commissioned Cultural Conservatism: Toward a New National Agenda, which became the script for what has become known as the "culture wars." Four years later, FCF staffers William Lind and William Marshner edited Cultural Conservatism: Theory and Practice.
Rejecting right-wing libertarianism as materialistic, "cultural conservatism" saw itself as based on Judeo-Christian ethics and at first concentrated its fire on gays and feminists, depicting them as sinners. But FCF soon expanded into conspiracy theories about sinister plots, themes reflected in two FCF-sponsored books, The Homosexual Agenda and Gays, AIDS and You.
Race surfaced in 1999, when Lind wrote that, "The real damage to race relations in the South came not from slavery, but from Reconstruction, which would not have occurred if the South had won." Had that happened, Lind added, "at least part of North America would still stand for Western culture, Christianity and an appreciation of the differences between ladies and gentlemen." Instead, when the South lost, the "official American state ideology" became the federally imposed "cultural Marxism of Political Correctness." In a speech to a Holocaust denial outfit last year, Lind blamed "cultural Marxism" on a tiny group of German Jews.
Most remarkable of all, one of Weyrich's long-time advisers on European-American issues has been Laszlo Pasztor Sr. The aging Pasztor, an ardent foe of communism, was active with the Hungarian Arrow Cross in the 1940s, when it was collaborating with the Nazis. Pasztor says he did not participate in the anti-Semitic violence promoted by the Arrow Cross Party. Pasztor currently has office space in Washington, D.C., provided by the Coalitions for America, a group chaired by Weyrich and located in the same building as the Free Congress Foundation, and described by it as its "sister organization."
The Washington, D.C.-based Institute for the Study of Man has long been headed by Roger Pearson, one of the most virulent race scientists operating today. For some three decades, Pearson has been pushing discredited pseudo-anthropological claims about racial Aryanism that are similar to those of the German Nazis. In 1966, Pearson wrote, "If a nation with a more advanced, more specialised, or in any way superior set of genes mingles with, instead of exterminating, an inferior tribe, then it commits racial suicide, and destroys the work of thousands of years of biological isolation and natural selection."
He claims that the demise of ancient Greece was the result of a "decline in Nordic blood," adding that "Nordic decay was heralded in by ideas of 'enlightenment' and individualism." Pearson has used pseudonyms to make some of his most unvarnished remarks.
According to The Funding of Scientific Racism, a 2002 book by scholar William Tucker, Pearson has claimed that Nordics are "the very peak of evolutionary progress," far removed from "the ape-like appearance of our original ancestors" who were more like "Negroes and monkeys."
Pearson also publishes the Journal of Indo-European Studies, which focuses on the roots of "Aryan"-based languages, and the Journal of Social, Political and Economic Studies. Wayne Lutton — who previously wrote for the racist American Mercury and the Holocaust-denying Journal of Historical Review — also has been a frequent contributor to the latter Pearson journal.
Pearson co-edits a third journal, the eugenicist Mankind Quarterly, with Richard Lynn, who like Pearson's institute has been financed by the racist Pioneer Fund*. Lynn's work, including a study on "Positive Correlations between Head Size and IQ," is cited in The Bell Curve.
"What is called for here is not genocide, the killing off of the population of incompetent cultures," Lynn wrote in 1972. "But we do need to think realistically in terms of the 'phasing out' of such peoples. ... To think otherwise is mere sentimentality."
The Ludwig von Mises Institute, founded in 1982 by Llewellyn Rockwell Jr. and still headed by him, is a major center promoting libertarian political theory and the Austrian School of free market economics, pioneered by the late economist Ludwig von Mises. It publishes seven journals, has printed more than 100 books, and offers scholarships, prizes, conferences and a major library at its Auburn, Ala., offices.
It also promotes a type of Darwinian view of society in which elites are seen as natural and any intervention by the government on behalf of social justice is destructive. The institute seems nostalgic for the days when, "because of selective mating, marriage, and the laws of civil and genetic inheritance, positions of natural authority [were] likely to be passed on within a few noble families."
But the rule of these natural elites and intellectuals, writes institute scholar Hans-Hermann Hoppe, is being ruined by statist meddling such as "affirmative action and forced integration," which he said is "responsible for the almost complete destruction of private property rights, and the erosion of freedom of contract, association, and disassociation."
A key player in the institute for years was the late Murray Rothbard, who worked with Rockwell closely and co-edited a journal with him. The institute's Web site includes a cybershrine to Rothbard, a man who complained that the "Officially Oppressed" of American society (read, blacks, women and so on) were a "parasitic burden," forcing their "hapless Oppressors" to provide "an endless flow of benefits."
"The call of 'equality,'" he wrote, "is a siren song that can only mean the destruction of all that we cherish as being human." Rothbard blamed much of what he disliked on meddling women. In the mid-1800s, a "legion of Yankee women" who were "not fettered by the responsibilities" of household work "imposed" voting rights for women on the nation. Later, Jewish women, after raising funds from "top Jewish financiers," agitated for child labor laws, Rothbard adds with evident disgust. The "dominant tradition" of all these activist women, he suggests, is lesbianism.
Institute scholars also have promoted anti-immigrant views, positively reviewing Peter Brimelow's Alien Nation.
Jared Taylor, the man who heads the New Century Foundation* and edits its allied magazine American Renaissance, is a white nationalist who believes America should be "a self-consciously European, majority-white nation" which he argues was "the original conception of [the U.S.], and one that was almost universally accepted until the 1960s." The foundation and magazine, based in Oakton, Va., tirelessly advance pseudo-scientific theories linking IQ to race.
The foundation also puts on bi-annual conferences; the 2002 event was advertised like this: "In all parts of the world, whites are afraid to speak out in their own interests. The costs of 'diversity,' racial differences in IQ, the threat of non-white immigration — politicians and the media are afraid to discuss what these things mean for whites and their civilization."
Taylor also has noted approvingly that until 1967, "strong opposition to mixed marriage was enshrined in law" in 16 states. In "The Myth of Diversity," Taylor writes that "diversity" has led to civil rights claims by all kinds of groups he doesn't like. "Anyone who opposes the glorification of the alien, the subnormal, and the inferior can be denounced," he complains. "The metastasis of diversity is a fascinating story, but the disease began with race."
After 300 pages of attacking blacks and dismissing white racism, Taylor's 1992 book Paved With Good Intentions: The Failure of Race Relations in Contemporary America notes that most Americans would not agree to use sterilization or forced abortion on those whom the society considers less fit. His solution? Make "welfare mothers" accept a "five-year implantable contraceptive."
Taylor is allied with Wayne Lutton, whom he thanks in his book and who is the editor of The Social Contract, a journal published by John Tanton's The Social Contract Press*. Taylor, Lutton and Richard Lynn are on the editorial board of The Occidental Quarterly, a journal where Sam Francis, top editor for the racist Council of Conservative Citizens*, serves as book review editor. The Occidental Quarterly's first issue featured a story by the late Keith Stimely, who was also an editor of the Journal of Historical Review, a notorious Holocaust denial publication.
Founded in 1953 by Illinois industrialist John Merrill Olin, the Olin Foundation funds projects that "strengthen the economic, political and cultural institutions upon which the American heritage of constitutional government and private enterprise is based." Among its grantees over the last 20 years are the American Enterprise Institute, the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the far-right Free Congress Foundation and the Rockford Institute. Olin plans to spend down its 2001 assets of over $70 million in the next few years.
With an original charter to pursue "race betterment" for those "deemed to be descended predominantly from white persons who settled in the original thirteen states prior to the adoption of the Constitution," the Pioneer Fund was founded in 1937 in New York.
Many involved in the early years of the fund, including its first president Harry H. Laughlin, maintained "contacts with many of the Nazi scientists whose work provided the conceptual template for Hitler's aspiration toward 'racial hygiene' in Germany," according to an Albany Law Review article by Paul Lombardo. In The Funding of Scientific Racism, scholar William Tucker reveals how Pioneer board members and grantees sought to block the civil rights movement in the 1960s.
In recent decades, the Pioneer Fund has funded most American and British race scientists, including a large number cited in The Bell Curve. According to Barry Mehler, the leading academic critic of the fund, these race scientists have included Hans Eysenck, Robert A. Gordon, Linda Gottfredson, Seymour Itzkoff, Arthur Jensen, Michael Levin, Richard Lynn, R. Travis Osborne, Roger Pearson, J. Philippe Rushton, William Shockley and Daniel R. Vining Jr.
Last year, Rushton became the fourth president of the fund. He disavows the terms "inferior" and "superior" but, as psychologist Andrew S. Winston points out, Rushton has produced a chart in which blacks "are said to have, on average, smaller brains, lower intelligence, lower cultural achievements, higher aggressiveness, lower law-abidingness, lower marital stability and less sexual restraint than whites, and the differences are attributed partially to heredity."
Pioneer grantees have also included white supremacist Jared Taylor. According to Hold Your Tongue, a book by education expert James Crawford, the Pioneer Fund also "aided the Institute for Western Values — the same group Cordelia May [Scaife, sister of Richard Mellon Scaife] paid to distribute [the racist book] The Camp of the Saints — in publishing the autobiography of Thomas Dixon," whose racist novels helped spark the Klan's rebirth in 1915.
Pioneer also has given grants to the American Immigration Control Foundation*, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, Roger Pearson's Institute for the Study of Man, Jared Taylor's New Century Foundation* and Project USA, an anti-immigration group run by a FAIR board member.
Based in Rockford, Ill., the Rockford Institute was founded in 1976 and is today best known for Chronicles, a magazine edited by institute president Thomas Fleming that white nationalist Patrick Buchanan has described as "the toughest, best-written, and most profoundly insightful journal in America."
An early sign of the institute's intolerance came in 1989, when New York branch head and theologian Richard John Neuhaus wrote a memo to the institute's then-president, Richard Carlson. The memo cautioned that some institute publications contained attacks on "rootless, deracinated and cosmopolitan elites" that recalled "the classic language of anti-Semitism." As a result, Rockford sent a squad from Illinois to evict Neuhaus from his Manhattan office and literally toss his belongings into the street.
Over the years, Chronicles has featured articles by Buchanan, Sam Francis and Wayne Lutton, and the late Murray Rothbard. It has praised anti-immigrant ethnic nationalist groups such as Jörg Haider's Austrian Freedom Party and the Italian Lombardy League.
Fleming himself seems to yearn for the days of the pre-Civil War South, writing in the November 2001 issue, "The agrarian republic of Washington and Jefferson had been overthrown by Lincoln and replaced by an imperial republic, which was in turn replaced by the warm-and-fuzzy national socialism imposed by FDR."
He added, "The new wave of mass immigration ... reinforced the leftist campaign to destroy Christendom, and there is absolutely no chance that ordinary Americans will ever retake power long enough to reverse multiculturalism, affirmative-action policies, or the compulsory bigotry represented by … call[s] for apologies and reparations."
This February, in an online Chronicles article titled "Was There a Civil-Rights Revolution?" Paul Gottfried attacked Martin Luther King Jr., saying King had pushed the nation onto a path that "had more to do with political coercion and relentless indoctrination than with appeals to conscience."
Pittsburgh billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife and his family, whose fortune derives from his great-grandfather's control of the Mellon Bank and other investments, control four foundations that have helped shift the U.S. political scene significantly to the right with donations of over $350 million since the early 1960s. They are the Allegheny Foundation, the Carthage Foundation, the Sarah Scaife Foundation and the Scaife Family Foundation.
Richard Mellon Scaife, described by The Washington Post as having "a penchant for conspiracy theories," worked hard to discredit the Clinton Administration, spending more than million to pursue allegations of illegal Clinton acts that later turned out be baseless. This included sponsoring reporter Christopher Ruddy to investigate theories that former White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster's death was not the suicide it appeared to be.
Between them, the Scaife foundations have also helped fund the American Enterprise Institute, the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the Free Congress Foundation and the Rockford Institute.
Founded in 1982 as an anti-immigrant umbrella group by Michigan ophthalmologist John H. Tanton, U.S. Inc. operates most publicly through three projects — NumbersUSA, ProEnglish and The Social Contract Press*, which publishes the journal The Social Contract. Tanton and his wife, Mary Lou Tanton, have been chair and vice chair from the start.
Tanton, who has done more to build the anti-immigration movement than any other person, founded the nation's best-known immigration restriction group — the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) — as well as U.S. English and the highly influential Center for Immigration Studies. Tanton also has helped fund the anti-Hispanic groups American Patrol* and the California Coalition for Immigration Reform*.
His Social Contract Press*, coordinated by himself, Robert Kyser and Wayne Lutton publishes a number of anti-immigrant tracts, chief among them the racist French novel The Camp of the Saints.
Tanton and Lutton also are co-authors of The Immigration Invasion, an anti-immigrant scare book published by the American Immigration Control Foundation*. One typically lurid chapter warns that "criminal activities" by illegal aliens are "escalating" into a "crime wave."
In a private 1986 memo leaked to the press, Tanton suggested racial Balkanization was under way, and warned, among other things, that Hispanics were out-breeding whites: "On the demographic point: perhaps this is the first instance in which those with their pants up are going to get caught by those with their pants down!" The memo contained such incendiary language that U.S. English executive director Linda Chavez quit, as did advisory board member Walter Cronkite.

BEIJING: Pakistan is set to become the fifth Asian country to use China's domestic satellite navigation system which was launched as a rival to the US global positioning system, a report said Saturday.
The Beidou, or Compass, system started providing services to civilians in the region in December and is expected to provide global coverage by 2020. It also has military applications.
Thailand, China, Laos and Brunei already use the Chinese system, which currently consists of 16 operational satellites, with 30 more due to join the system, according to English-language China Daily.
Huang Lei, international business director of BDStar Navigation, which promotes Beidou, told the newspaper the company would build a network of stations in Pakistan to enhance the location accuracy of Beidou.
He said building the network would cost tens of millions of dollars.
American website Defensenews.com reported early May that Pakistani military experts were in favour of using the Chinese system, even though the availability of the signal could not be guaranteed in case of conflict.
But according to one of them, Pakistan cannot place its trust in the United States.
"Pakistan's armed forces cannot rely on US GPS because of its questionable availability during a conflict that has overtones of nuclear escalation," former Pakistan Air Force pilot Kaiser Tufail told the site.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang travels next week to Pakistan, a long time ally, after a visit to India.

I am trying to embed an image with a transparent background in my LaTeX poster. However a quick google search has taught me that it is not possible to do so. However I intend to know any clever workarounds as I believe LaTeX is frequently used for making scientific posters, which require inclusion of transparent images.
Exact problem. I am trying to include a logo (with transparent background) in a textbox with gradient fill. Any method to accomplish this without getting a white (or any other) background is appreciated.
My current work around is the brute force technique of copying the gradient pattern in the background of the image.

Richard Denison, Ph.D., is a Senior Scientist.
It's hard not to get cynical in Washington, DC these days. Just this past week, the American Chemistry Council (ACC) hosted an ice cream social on Capitol Hill – I kid you not. ACC's beckoning slogan: "Join and learn about the benefits of chlorine chemistry and enjoy a tasty treat." I'm told hundreds of House staffers partook of this propaganda fest, at least the tasty treat part. My initial reaction? How can health and environmental advocates hope to compete? Especially if one can successfully curry favor merely by offering a scoop of a staffer's favorite flavor.
But just as I began to despair, Part I of a major exposé on a far more serious campaign of deception by the chemical industry ran on the front page of the Sunday Chicago Tribune. (Actually, the article occupies virtually the entire front page of today's edition.)
The Chicago Tribune story is the first in a series titled Playing with Fire, and Part I will be followed by additional stories on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The investigative reporters who deserve the credit: Patricia Callahan, Sam Roe and Michael Hawthorne.
The chemicals in question are brominated flame retardants, chemicals produced in huge volumes and added to everything from furniture foam to TV and computer casings to myriad children's products. The chemicals are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBTs) and have been detected in marine and terrestrial mammals, birds, fish, and invertebrates – not to mention people. They are strongly linked to a range of health and environmental impacts.
Here's the title of today's story in the Tribune:
Fear fans flames for chemical makers
Manufacturers of fire retardants rely on questionable testimony, front groups to push standards that boost demand for their toxic — and ineffective — products
And here's a small excerpt that sets the stage:
These powerful industries distorted science in ways that overstated the benefits of the chemicals, created a phony consumer watchdog group that stoked the public's fear of fire and helped organize and steer an association of top fire officials that spent more than a decade campaigning for their cause.
The deceptions of the chemical industry in this matter are multiple. They include the creation of a "citizen" front group called Citizens for Fire Safety – eerily reminiscent of the "Coalition for Chemical Safety," the front group that ACC set up in 2009 to create the impression of strong support for its version of reform of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). After it was exposed as a front group, CCS's existence was scrubbed from the Internet.
Despite its warm and fuzzy name, Citizens for Fire Safety is the creation of the three main producers of brominated flame retardant chemicals – Chemtura, Albemarle and ICL Industrial Products, which the Tribune reports control 40% of the global flame retardant market.
Another key deception? That the chemicals actually work. In a companion piece to the front page story, the Tribune reports that testing, including by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, found that the chemicals don't appreciably reduce the risk or slow the progression of fire. And they are far less effective than ready alternatives such as wrapping foam in naturally fire-resistant wool or other barrier materials, as shown in testing by Underwriters Laboratory. See also this 2010 paper in Reviews on Environmental Health, co-authored by the current Director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.)
I'll leave you to read the Tribune series for more details. I'll close by simply quoting Launcelot from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice: The truth will out.

Orejas, also known as palmiers, are a puff pastry cookie and kind of pan dulce commonly found in panaderías all over Mexico.
Pan dulce was made popular during the French occupation in the mid 1800s, and as Mexican President Porfirio Díaz was considered to be a Francophile, French influence on Mexico's gastronomy was allowed to grow from the time Díaz first took control as president in 1880 and flourish into the early 1900s.
In 1911, Díaz left Mexico to live in exile in Paris when Madero became president; he would live there for four years before he died in 1915. And although Díaz died in exile, the French pastries and sweet breads adopted by Mexico morphed into uniquely Mexican creations, with a variety of shapes, textures and creative names that still exist today.
Pan dulce can encompass pastries, sweet breads and even cookies. Other popular kinds of pan dulce include conchas (circular sweet rolls with a sugary, crunchy, crumbly topping made of flour, confectioners' sugar and butter or vegetable shortening, and shaped to resemble a seashell), sweet empanadas, mantecadas (similar to pound cake, and shaped like muffins or mini loaves), cuernitos (croissants), and puerquitos or marranitos (pig-shaped cookies). Of course, these are only a few of the most popular and common kinds of pan dulce. Some types have a directly translated name from the original French name, but others have more creative names in Spanish.
Orejas are a staple at my house and I often make a batch to enjoy with a cup of coffee throughout the week, to take to work for a breakfast meeting, or when I need to drop off something easy for a bake sale or party. Some of my other favorite variations include churros, garibaldi, and rieles (mini strudels with a fruit or cheese filling and coarse-grain sanding sugar).
RELATED RECIPE: Atole de vainilla
Orejas are made by spreading cinnamon sugar on both sides of a sheet of puff pastry, then rolling the puff pastry with a rolling pin to press the cinnamon sugar into the pastry. Then, the pastry is folded and sliced, and baked at a high temperature so the sugar caramelizes and creates a sort of glassy sugar glaze on the pastry dough.
Although every Mexican panadería is a little different, it's guaranteed you'll always find orejas. But you'll feel like a fancy pastry chef and a little bit like a rock star when you make them on your own—and you're likely to impress people who have no idea how easy they are to make!
Yield 15-16 cookies
One of Mexico's most popular kinds of pan dulce.
- 1 sheet Pepperidge Farm puff pastry, defrosted
- ½ cup Zulka morena granulated cane sugar
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Line a large cutting board with parchment paper and unfold the puff pastry sheet to defrost for about 45 minutes to an hour.
- When pastry is defrosted, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread about ¼ cup of the cinnamon sugar mixture on it, roughly in the shape of the puff pastry.
- Transfer the defrosted puff pastry to the baking sheet on top of the cinnamon sugar and peel the parchment paper off the other side. Spread the remaining ¼ cup of cinnamon sugar liberally over the top of the puff pastry.
- Use a rolling pin to gently roll out the puff pastry both horizontally and vertically, which will cement the sugar into the pastry.
- Fold the puff pastry inward from the edges to meet in the middle. Then fold again, in half. With a sharp knife, cut half-inch slices and transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 5-7 minutes on one side, remove from oven and flip orejas with a spatula, and bake for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Recipe prep and cook time does NOT include 45-60 minutes of inactive prep to defrost frozen puff pastry sheets.

WASHINGTON (April 11, 2012) -- The Army announced plans today for a "Green Warrior Convoy" to demonstrate and educate the value of science and technology in Army vehicles.
Katherine Hammack, the assistant secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment, made the announcement during the opening of the Army's new Ground Systems Power and Energy Laboratory, or GSPEL, at the Detroit Arsenal, Warren, Mich.
Hammack said that one year from today the Army will launch a "Green Warrior Convoy" of vehicles from Detroit to Washington as part of the road testing of technologies and systems developed at the Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, or TARDEC.
This convoy of technologies will stop at schools and communities along the way to demonstrate and educate the value of science and technology in vehicles. From fuel cells to hybrid systems, battery technologies to alternative fuels, the Army will highlight its advanced vehicle power and technology developments through the convoy.
The Green Warrior Convoy vehicles complement the Army Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, or STEM, Asset Vehicle. The STEM Asset Vehicle, launched in January, like this convoy of technologies, is designed to publicize STEM careers and demonstrate how civilian scientists and engineers help to ensure America's national security along with uniformed Soldiers.
The convoy's literal route, from Warren to Washington, and the complement of vehicles within the convoy will be announced at a later date.
The GSPEL is a comprehensive addition to TARDEC's series of laboratories. The eight-in-one facility offers numerous testing capabilities and an unmatched combination of resources in a single lab.
The centerpiece, the Power and Energy Vehicle Environmental Lab, or PEVEL, features one of the world's largest environmental chambers. The lab's dynamometer and environmental chamber combination allows full mission profile testing of every ground vehicle platform in the military inventory in any environmental condition. The PEVEL enables testing at temperatures from minus 60°F to 160°F, in relative humidity levels from 0 to 95 percent and with winds up to 60 mph.
The GSPEL offers shared access to industry and academia to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas to develop emerging energy technologies and validate ground vehicle systems, research that could also help the Nation achieve energy security goals.

TechRadar Verdict
- +
Improved UI and performance
- +
Useful bookmarks manager
- +
Better resource handling
- -
Galleries are still poor
- -
Preview model still irks
- -
An unimpressive update
Why you can trust TechRadar
With iWeb seemingly mothballed by Apple and few other companies stepping up to the plate, Realmac had a great chance to blow people away with RapidWeaver 5.
While the company hasn't dropped the ball, this update represents a fumble. The good news is that RapidWeaver remains a usable, straightforward product for building your own websites, with enough extensibility to cater for anyone making tentative steps towards hand coding.
Throughout the application, the interface is logical, looks good and has been polished a little since the previous version; there's a useful new projects window and a noticeable speed boost, for example.
There are also new features, including a bookmarks manager for storing webhost connection details, site-map creation (both HTML and XML), and support for Safari's Web Developer Tools and Google Analytics (the former of which seemingly requires activation in RapidWeaver's preferences, but beats the native source viewer by a mile).
One of the trumpeted new features, Site Resources, is a bit more creaky, however. It enables you to store elements such as PDFs in the sidebar for later linkage. RapidWeaver helpfully keeps an eye on their local location should you move things about, and it correctly uploads everything to a resources folder on your live site.
But despite its helpfulness in this regard, the application seems unnecessarily fussy when it comes to the type of documents you can drop on the sidebar, and was only reliable when using the Add Resource button.
Elsewhere, RapidWeaver 5 proves to be a somewhat disappointing update, largely regarding the process of making web pages. Galleries remain fiddly to create and are visually mediocre when viewed in the browser.
The split between content editing and visual preview is irksome and dated, especially when Edit Mode doesn't even attempt to differentiate differently styled text; for example, various levels of headings are all merely highlighted in green.
At the very least, we by now hoped to see the option for a live preview alongside Edit Mode. And for all Realmac's crowing about adherence to good code, it's intensely annoying that web-page text isn't automatically wrapped in paragraph tags – you instead must do this manually or have your code full of line breaks.
On the plus side, this latest version consolidates CSS, which slightly speeds up outputted sites. Slow to progress RapidWeaver 5 falls short of our expectations. The majority of the changes are incremental rather than revolutionary, and most of the application's shortcomings remain.
Also, when companies increasingly offer single-button WordPress installs as standard with even cheap hosting plans, it's tough to recommend a £50 application that offers relatively few advantages over a modern free blogging system.
Between two worlds
RapidWeaver hovers in that uncertain limbo between competent introductory application and out-of-date, restrictive software solution.
For anyone who absolutely must have a Mac-based web design capability and work on sites locally rather than in the browser, RapidWeaver's still the best bet for novices (although if you've already got RapidWeaver 4, we'd question you splashing out $39 – £25 – on upgrading). But this is an underwhelming update and we were hoping for more.

FCV Holds Final 2008 Ontario Championship Event
Courtesy Rob Good
The last Ontario Championship race of 2008 was held on Saturday night at London's Forest City Velodrome. Five "AA" division teams came out to contest the Omnium format evening of racing. Teams were a balanced mix of youth matched with experience.
The first four events were time trials and individual events to give each team a good sense of the skill levels within the team. Team Teal (Mike Nuttall and Rhys Bateman) scored two wins to go into the final 20 minute Madison in the lead on points. Also winning events in the early part of the Omnium were the Yellow Team of Emily McKenzie-Picot / Dave St. James, and the Grey Team of Kyle Rupay / Dina Ridha. The points spread was very close and it would come down to which team could gain the advantage during the last race of the night. Madison racing demands the most skill, and in addition combines race strategy with consistent hand slings (exchanges) to keep the pressure on the other teams.
Early in the "AA" Madison, Team Black (Brian Kelly / Daniel McKenzie-Picot) attacked from the whistle to gain a very quick 1/2 lap advantage over the field, this early move would eventually come back to haunt the London riders. They were slowly reeled in by the other teams with no one taking more that a 30 metre lead until the youngest rider in the field, 14 year old Drew Welsh, attacked over the top of the other teams during an exchange with partner Lorne Falkenstein. The 1/4 lap increased to 1/2 a lap, until 16 year old Emily McKenzie-Picot strung out the field to begin the process of closing the gap on the leaders. From nowhere the team of Bateman / Nuttall started to move closer to the lead ..... This was short lived, as the team missed an exchange and came back to the field.
Picot attacked again and closed the gap to Welsh, and the two teams seeme d to have things their own way with two minutes left in the 20 minute affair. Rupay came from nowhere, to again close the gap to the leaders, only to fall a little short during the final sprint. On the last exchange, McKenzie-Picot made one last try to seal the win for the Yellow team, only to be counterattacked by Welsh and, in the end, the final sprint went to Welsh/Falkenstein, McKenzie-Picot/St James crossed the line second and finished third overall for Bronze.
Final Standings in the "AA" Division:
Gold Medal - Team Blue - Welsh/Falkensrein
Silver Medal - Team Teal - Nuttall/Bateman
Bronze Medal - Team Yellow - McKenzie-Picot/St. James
4th Place - Team Black - Kelly/Daniel M-P
5th Place - Team Grey - Ridha/Rupay
The Elite race was just as exciting, with the winner of the event not being determined until the final sprint of the 45 minute Madison. Early in the competition Team White (Joe Veloce and Steve Meyer) had a definite advantage going into the last race of the night .... only to see their dominance slip away with the leg blowing speed of the first 15 minutes of the Madison.
Attack after attack had all the remaining teams suffering, wishing for the end to come, laps were being taken with the eventual winners Team Green (Vlemmix/DeFranceschi) pulling back an early lap by track regular Mike Renneboog and 15 year old cadet Jason King, who would make it to Silver in the final standings ..... a great night of racing by all the competitors.
Final Standings in the "Elite" Division
Gold Medal - Team Green - Vlemmix/DeFranceschi
Silver Medal - Team Yellow - King/Renneboog
Bronze Medal - Team Blue - Lundy/Carden
4th Place - Team Purple - Throop/Perlmutter
5th Place - Team Red - Aitcheson/rg
6th Place - Team White - Veloce/Meyer
Racing continues Saturday, December 13th at 7pm. The six hour FCV Track Enduro will test the will power of the 35 racers currently entered .... come out and see the madness.

Parshat Vayeitzei
In this Parsha it is difficult to determine Yaakov's true feelings towards Leah. After having been tricked into marrying Leah, Yaakov then marries Rachel after committing to seven more years of labor for Lavan. The Torah tells us that Yaakov "...consorted also with Rachel and loved Rachel even more than Leah." The Torah seems to be telling us that although he loved Leah, he loved Rachel even more. The problem is that the Torah then tells us immediately that "G-d saw that Leah was hated, so he opened her womb." After Leah gives birth to her first-born, she says, "Because G-d has discerned my humiliation, now my husband will love me." Then, after giving birth to her second son, she says, "Because G-d has heard that I am hated, He has given me this one also."
From the last three quotations it appears that Leah was hated by Yaakov, while the first quotation seems to indicate that she was certainly loved, just to a lesser degree than Rachel. Abarbanel explains that there is actually no inconsistency. The first verse is not an indication that Yaakov loved Leah. (Perhaps, as Ramban explains, Yaakov had consistently negative feelings toward Leah as a result of her having deceived him on his first wedding night.)
Abarbanel offers a grammatical explanation of the first verse quoted. The literal translation of that verse is Yaakov "consorted also with Rachel and loved Rachel from Leah." The Hebrew letter 'mem' which literally means 'from' can also mean 'because of'. Now the verse translates as he "...loved Rachel because of Leah." He explains that because of Yaakov's total inexperience with women, his desire for a particular woman, i.e. Rachel, was intermingled with his basic desire for any woman. Therefore, when he had relations first with Leah, this aspect of his physical desire should have been satisfied and his ardor for Rachel should have cooled somewhat. However, the opposite occurred. After marrying Leah, rather than having his connection to Rachel diminished, it was actually augmented. He now realized that his feelings toward Rachel went far beyond simple physical desire, as that aspect had already been experienced. Thus, because of his experience first with Leah he experienced a deeper and more authentic love for Rachel. Furthermore, having been with Leah, his love for Rachel took on a second dimension. His initial love for Rachel was for who she was, independent of others. But now he could compare her to Leah and see even more clearly how she completely fulfilled his purpose in life. Again, it was because of Leah that Yaakov's love for Rachel deepened.

Jada Pinkett Smith Discusses Sex + Alcohol Addictions: 'I Am a Binger'
Jada Pinkett Smith is revisiting her past addiction to sex and alcohol.
The 46-year-old actress discussed her propensity to binge on Monday's episode of her Facebook web series, Red Table Talk.
"My sort of addictions jump, they jump around," she said. "When I was younger, I definitely think I had a sex addiction of some kind, yes, that everything could be fixed by sex."
Smith also shared a past problem with alcohol.
"I remember reaching a rock bottom that time I was in the house by myself and I had those two bottles of wine and was going for the third bottle," the star said. "So I went cold turkey."
"That's the thing about me, I can go cold turkey. I am a binger, and I always have to watch myself and just how I can get obsessed with things," she explained.
Smith previously discussed her sexual history during an episode of Red Table Talk in May. She told her daughter, Willow Smith, that she developed an addiction to masturbation when she was younger.
"I actually think I went through a kind of addiction, too, with it," the star said. "And then one day I was like, 'Enough. You're having five orgasms a day.'"
Smith is parent to 17-year-old Willow and 20-year-old son Jaden Smith with her husband, actor Will Smith. Will said in an interview with the Rap Radar podcast last week that he and Smith don't refer to themselves as married anymore.
