#GazaUnderAttack : Updates from Gaza
#WestBankUnderAttack Israeli AND #US forces displace villagers from homes for military training in the Jordan Valley
On November 11th Palestinians from the Jordan Valley villages of AelRaesAhemer, AelMaleh, and Ael Meta, were awoken by Israeli occupation forces at 6:00 AM and forced to leave their homes and villages because the military was to use the area for military training.
The villages are part of Area C in the West Bank, and therefore are under full Israeli civil and security control. Palestinians in Area C, which covers over 60% of the West Bank, are practically forbidden to build on their own property; while neighboring illegal settlements continue to expand. The villages undergo constant attacks and threats from either the army or settlers, including home demolitions, physical beatings, destruction of property, etc.
U.S. Forces have recently arrived in Israel and the West Bank to conduct a joint military exercise simulating a war in the Middle East that would require the U.S. to intervene. The drill is considered to be the largest joint military exercise carried out by the two countries, and is severely affecting the lives of Palestinian villagers throughout the West Bank. It also violates Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention which states that "Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive."
After Israeli occupation forces displaced the villagers out of their homes, they then began to practice shooting tanks, missiles, and artillery into the areas of the villages throughout the day.
According to the information we received from several people, the villagers will be able to return to their homes at 6:00 PM. Some may have to go through this process every day for up to two months, until the Israeli and U.S. Forces are finished with their joint military exercise."The Military told us that we are not allowed to return to our homes at all. We don´t know what to expect," explained a Palestinian.
#GazaUnderAttack | Minister: 25 mosques bombed in Gaza
GAZA CITY (Ma'an) –The minister of religious affairs in Gaza said Monday that Israel has damaged over 25 mosques in six days of heavy shelling across the enclave.
"The occupation (Israel) in their aggression did not only commit crimes against civilians, as happened to Salah, al-Dalou, and Azzam families, but targeted mosques, cemeteries and houses of worship," Ismail Radwan said at a news conference outside Al-Abbas mosque.
"The enemy directly targeted Sheikh Shaban cemetery, the emergency cemetery, in addition to Mahatta, Tal Zatar, and Bani Suheil cemeteries which led to scattering the bodies of the dead and martyrs.
"They also targeted and destroyed completely the Ribat mosque in Gaza City and Al-Rahman mosque in the central Gaza Strip."
Radwan called on Islamic scholars and imams in Palestine and around the world to pray for the injured and Palestinian fighters.
He called on the grand imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmad al-Tayeb, and all his counterparts to visit the Gaza Strip and stand by the Palestinian people.
The minister urged the international community and human rights organizations to put Israeli leaders on trial for war crimes and called on the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to fulfill their duties and support Palestinians in preserving their holy places.
"The Fall of the Oppressor" ~ A Poem by @DimaEleiwa
The Fall of the Oppressor
They're trying to mess with my head, psychologically.
Telling me my wife is cheating on me.
I know, he's lying, the picture is clear.
I know, he's bluffing, yet the lie still pressures me.
It reminds me of how weak and helpless I am here…
But my faith is strong, I know I will end up outside these walls.
Behind these bars time took a different definition.
The day became an hour, and the minute became a second.
I wasn't born to live my life here…
I wasn't born to meet my family behind the glass and on the telephone.
An m16 in the hand of a soldier wanting to teach you manner.s
Want to defend yourself? Here's a life sentence.
Who cares about us?
Definitely not my government.
Definitely not the law that never recognized my rights.
You don't need an expert to tell you how dirty their law is,
When 40% of my people know what it means to be a political prisoner
Sometimes i ask myself why I can't be optimistic…
The plate gets thrown on the floor, its hardly eatable.
When i was a child they taught me that prison is for the criminal who wants to harm me.
Here my crime is… being born palestinian
The temperature of the floor
Lets me know if its September or February
Iremember my family, the sky, joy…
As many obstacles they put, I will never forget the seasons.
I won't forget 48, I wont forget the massacres…
I kept reminding myself I will not rot, I know the day is coming
I am not rotting. I know the day is coming.
I ask of God to show me the end of this building.
Greet the relatives and tell them I still believe in miracles.
I could have been a doctor, a singer, an engineer.
But fate is pointing a gun to my head.
All my plans are disappearing in front of me.
I'm sitting on a chair, handcuffed from the top and the bottom.
The bread is hard.
Mother I feel i'm getting sick and dizzy…
Yet my focus is on freedom.
I'm isolated far away and hidden from reality
Mother i have a new friend, his name is as mine, and his face is the same as mine
solitary confinement, mother i miss my home.
If I die, take all of my stuff
and throw my coffin at the judge.
The ghosts of my ancestors are calling
demanding their land, where the prisons are, where their children are suffering.
We have to remember the names,
I don't see one drop of justice, all I see is administrative detention.
I didn't choose to be here, it wasn't my choice
keep your head up, your life is valuable.
Their system thought it had everything under control.
But all of a sudden, a hunger strike began.
They thought the human being is hungry and would be greedy for his food.
But the human being is only hungry for one thing: The fall of the oppressor.
……The fall of the oppressor

What is a Doula?
A doula is a woman experienced in childbirth who provides information, emotional and physical support to a mother before, during, and just after childbirth.
What can you expect if you hire me?
A doula meets with the pregnant woman and her support team in the end of her pregnancy to discuss and prepare for the upcoming birth. She answers questions and provides information and guidance to prepare the birthing team.
During the birth, she is there continuously to coach the laboring woman through her contractions, to provide physical and emotional support, to facilitate labor progression, and to support the birth team. She is a constant calming and knowledgeable presence during the labor.
After the baby has been born, the doula stays with the family to help them settle in. She leaves them to bond and rest when everything has settled down. The doula is available to the new family to answer questions and meets with them soon after the birth to make sure all is well and to help them process the birth experience.
The doula does not replace the partner. Instead, she enhances the support of the partner so that he or she can be there for, and love on the laboring woman. A doula helps to take the pressure off of the partner to allow them to enjoy the experience.
The proof for Doulas
Numerous clinical studies have found that a doula's presence at birth:
- Tends to result in shorter labors with fewer complications
- Reduces negative feelings about one's childbirth experience
- Reduces the need for pitocin, forceps or vacuum extraction
- Reduces the requests for pain medication and epidurals, as well as the incidence of cesareans
Mothers receiving doula care are significantly less likely to feel a loss of control in labor.
Women who receive doula care are 27% less likely to be dissatisfied with their births as compared to women who did not use a doula.
Having a Doula can help you to have a more positive birth experience, reduce your anxiety, and reduce your risk of postpartum depression.
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) says that hiring a doula is one of the most effective tools to improve labor and delivery outcomes and to avoid a c-section.
Having a Doula can also help your partner to feel more confident and involved with your labor.
A Doula is not a medical provider
As a Doula I will not:
- Perform clinical tasks such as taking blood pressure or checking cervical dilation.
- Speak to medical staff on your behalf, however I can remind you of your birth preferences and help you and your partner phrase your concerns or desires to the staff.
- Make medical decisions for you.
- Pressure you to have a birth you don't want, not during prenatal visits nor during birth. I will not judge you for any birthing decisions you make. This is your birth, not mine.
- Take over your partner's role. I will take the pressure off of him so he is free to support you in a way that works best for you. I will also support him physically by making sure he takes bathroom breaks and stays hydrated and nourished.
- Take over your role as decision maker. It's my job to support you, no matter how you give birth. Not to decide how you will birth.
If you think a Doula would be a great addition to your birthing team, email me! We will set up a time to meet and see if we are a good match for each other. I really look forward to hearing from you!

For many years now I've been one of those anime fans who rolls their eyes with disdain whenever some newbie fanboy (or internationally-respected film critic) starts raving about the brilliance of Akira. This tripe has to be anime's "ambassador to the west"? Dear god, why?! I'll give the movie credit for raising anime's profile, certainly, but I've never been happy with people holding up Akira as an example of everything that's cool about Japanese cartoons. Of course, in recent years the mainstream public has been presented with a lot more options -- Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, now the Cowboy Bebop movie -- but it still keeps coming back to Akira. The specter of Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 film, based (allegedly!) on his own "classic" manga epic, will seemingly haunt us forever.
Recently, Dark Horse Comics, working with their frequent manga collaborators Studio Proteus, decided to compound this problem by finally releasing a complete, comprehensive translation of the original manga series. This was attempted many years ago by Marvel's Epic imprint, in a less convenient format. Dark Horse favored rather larger collections, and has packaged the entire Akira manga into six volumes.
When Dark Horse first announced their acquisition of the series, I was a little intrigued. Although, as noted above, my relationship with the movie was not one of passionate love, I had become one of those people who were constantly saying "Yes, the anime stinks, but apparently the manga's much better". Uh-oh -- Dark Horse was presenting me with an opportunity to test that theory for myself. Of course, not having enjoyed the movie, why would I bother sampling the manga? I tucked the idea away in the back of my mind -- a possible future experiment...
Well, I'm only human. Curiosity wore away at me until I finally purchased volume one of the manga. I read it. Was it brilliant? Was it a work of such genius that I instantly awoke to the glory of Otomo and came to understand how perfect the Akira anime actually is, as only the faithful can comprehend? Er, no. But you know what? It wasn't too bad. It was interesting enough that once I was done, I picked up book two, and then made my way to the end of book three (the half-way point of the story).
The series wasn't giving me any particular thrill -- there was nothing there that was spectacular enough to explain the book's eternal uber-classic status. But it was compelling enough - just barely - to keep me reading. It was certainly lacking something -- I found that there were no really likeable characters; no hero to latch onto, no protagonist worth cheering for. The "main" character, of course, is Kaneda, who doesn't even come close to being an admirable or charismatic lead. Frankly, he tends to be a jerk. Of course, he does have a certain rough charm, and after he disappeared for an entire volume, I did find that I was happy to have him back.
This is not to say that the series suffered in his absence -- in fact the opposite is true. The book undergoes a major shift at the halfway point, and once I had started volume four I found myself dealing with something that was considerably different and far more engaging. It didn't take me long at all, once I was into the second half, to realize that suddenly Akira had become a book I couldn't put down. An altered physical and social environment, prompting new spins on established characters, transformed the series into something identifiably similar but further evolved. Where the first half was "okay", the second half was, in fact, something that was leaving a greater impression. Something so gripping that the passable-but-less-inviting flavor of the earlier volumes was completely forgotten.
Mind you, I can't say I'm especially fond of Otomo's art. Very few of his characters are visually distinctive, which means that occasionally - moreso earlier on - it's a little tricky to tell who's who. This gives an added appeal to those characters that are very different, like the Colonel, Chiyoko and Joker. Where Otomo excels is in presenting sprawling cityscapes, vast depictions of Neo-Tokyo in pieces. This man was born to draw property damage. He has an extraordinary gift for visualizing destruction. Not in a violent, graphic, human way - though of course there is a bit of that! - but in an ageing, degenerative, devastated and entropic sort of way. This is a city which has endured multiple armageddons, and it shows -- but at the same time Neo-Tokyo displays an obvious and undeniable determination to continue, regardless of the beating taken in the process. It's a very fitting attitude for anyone involved in this story.
So, now that I was armed with experience of the manga, I sat down to watch the movie again. Was my view of the anime changed? Of course it was. Will I now sheepishly confess that the movie is indeed the stunning masterpiece so many hold it to be? No. I can appreciate it much, much more now - and to be honest, it wasn't quite as incoherent as I remembered it. I also thought the animated Kaneda was a little more likeable than his comic book counterpart. But this is still a film that tries to squeeze far too much stuff into a ludicrously small chunk of screen time -- even after completely discarding fully fifty percent of the story. Making this movie was a mistake. I would love to see Akira reanimated, properly -- ideally as (at least!) one full TV season of twenty-six episodes or thereabouts. Possibly even a trilogy of movies could go closer to doing the manga justice than the mediocre film we currently have.
I'd have to assume that this has been said before, but that old Akira movie? It's a trailer, nothing more -- an unfathomably tiny glimpse into something greater. And as far as I'm concerned -- the many aspects of the story which were jettisoned to cut the running time? They're all the interesting ones. Similarly, most of the best characters are largely or entirely absent. It amazes me that the same man who created the manga had anything to do with this film. How could he stand to watch his epic saga mangled, or at least neutered? Then again, I suppose that if you know your work has to be cut to ribbons, there is some creative solace in holding the scissors yourself. It's a pity that the Otomo interview is missing from the Australian release of the Special Edition DVD (though at least we did get both English dubs!) as I'd love to understand his motivations better.
If you enjoyed the movie, take the time to read the manga. It may even be available in your local library. But don't make the mistake of believing that the anime is anything more serious than a music video or a sample clip, a curiosity: A more colorful look at the first half of the story, without the redeeming benefits of the manga's greater second act. Maybe one day the rest of the story will find its way into our cinemas or onto our TVs. Until then, we can make do with the book. It's a good book. Honest.

The weekend's 6 best concerts: Sept. 21-23
Happy birthday to country star Faith Hill, whichever one of those Oasis guys is Liam Gallagher, deceased former White House Chief of Staff Hamilton Jordan, and equally deceased British ventriloquist Keith Harris, who is the reason all English people laugh when I tell them my name. Oh, and I think there's an Earth, Wind & Fire song about today too.
Friday 9.21
Blitzen Trapper @ Fine Line
After three self-released albums, Blitzen Trapper signed to Sub Pop and released what remains their most popular effort, 2008's Furr. Toning down their previous experimentation, Eric Earley and co. flitted between raw, folk-leaning strummers and stomping country-rockers across its 13 songs. The Portland band has released five albums since, but they're spending this fall celebrating Furr's 10th anniversary with a tour and a deluxe reissue. With Candace. 18+. 9 p.m. $25/$40. 318 1st. Ave. N., Minneapolis. More info here.—Michael Madden
Leon Bridges @ Palace Theatr e
On this spring's Good Thing, Texas dishwasher-to-Obama-White-House singer Leon Bridges consciously updates the signature retro-soul/R&B sound that flooded his debut, Coming Home. The zinging strings of opener "Bet Ain't Worth The Hand" and slinky jazz-funk of "Bad Bad News" pushes forward a decade or two, while the seductive "Shy," frankly sexual "Mrs.," synth-slick "Forgive You," and disco-ish "If It Feels Good, Then It Must Be" further warp the calendar. The glue among this time banditry is Bridges' stellar voice, which still merits Sam Cooke comparisons even as it explores new dimensions. Khruangbin opens.Also Friday. 8 p.m. $62—$82. 17 W. 7th Pl., St. Paul. More info here .—Rick Mason
Natalie Prass, Stella Donnelly @ Turf Club
Nashville-based Natalie Prass initially developed a sultry country-soul sound similar to Dusty Springfield's Memphis sojourn. But Prass' sophomore album, The Future And The Past, steps out with tight, urgent soul-funk-pop fusion. Boasting feisty grooves inspired by the likes of Prince, F&P also sizzles with lyrics addressing the post-2016-election wasteland. "What is truth and what is fear?" she asks on the assertively funky "Oh My," calls "nasty women" to arms on the feminist anthem "Sisters," and spins angst into a wicked resistance declaration, "Ain't Nobody." Australia's Stella Donnelly opens with feminist folk-indie rock and finger-picked electric guitar. 21+. 7 p.m. $15. 1601 University Ave., St. Paul. More info here.—Rick Mason
Complete Friday music listings here.
Saturday 9.22
Cody Jinks @ First Avenue
Declarations of independence are especially heartening in the world of modern country music, and Cody Jinks just keeps self-releasing albums full of pungent songs, delivered with a big-hat voice that becomes more and more resonant. He's got the honky-tonk spirituality of Waylon and Merle (and Sturgill, Whitey, and Chris), but isn't afraid to close his new one— Losers, on Rounder this time--with "Head Case," in which he says "been a long time since I had a cry" then name-checks Jackson Browne. Gutsy. Sold out but Sunday show added. 8 p.m. $35 in advance or $120 for 4. 18+. 701 N. 1st Avenue, Minneapolis. More info here.—Britt Robson
Remo Drive @ 7th St. Entry
Last year, with their catchy-as-hell debut, Greatest Hits, Remo Drive emerged as not just one of Minnesota's breakout bands, but one of the most promising new emo groups, period. Formerly a trio, the band was just the duo of Bloomington brothers Erik and Stephen Paulson by the time they signed with Epitaph at the top of 2018. In March, they released another infectious salvo, a three-song EP simply titled Pop Music. With Field Medic and Prince Daddy & the Hyena. Early show: 3:30 p.m. $15/$18. Late show: 18+. 8:30 p.m. $15/$18. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis. More info here.—Michael Madden

Hanna Benn & Deantoni Parks @ Machine Shop
Liquid Music series founder Kate Nordstrum has always assembled unlikely combos, and to open theseventh season of Liquid Music she's again gambling on serendipity.

Their collaborative piece is a song cycle entitled "Procession," abetted by a string quintet from the SPCO. 7 p.m. $25 ($20 for Liquid Music + SPCO subscribers, children 6-17 and students free). 300 2nd St. NE (near St. Anthony Main), Minneapolis.

Taken from Miracles and Massacres: True and Untold Stories of the Making of America, by Glenn Beck with Kevin Balfe and Hannah Beck, Theshold Editions, New York, 2013.
Th Massacre at Wounded Knee is common knowledge to most of us. But the official Army version is much different from what we know happened. As a result of the Ghost Dance, the federal forces were on heightened alert. The intended to arrest Sitting Bull. However he and two of his sons were killed in the arrest attempt. Six Native American policemen had also been killed.
Under the command of General Nelson Miles, Major Samuel Whiteside was ordered to find Big Foot and his band and escort them back to reservation. There worries he might join another group and make a large force together. Big Foot was not with the original negotiating party. He was ill. Whiteside insisted he talk with Big Foot, and he was brought in his sick wagon. They had no intention of fighting and were willing to be accompanied back to the reservation. Whiteside put up a loose perimeter, however when he was relieved by Colonel James Forsyth he was ordered to encircle the Indians, and disarm them in the morning.
Disarming was the trick. At first they asked the Native Americans to bring their guns, and they brought a few. A search of the tepees garnered about that many more. Then the started a person inspection and were finding even more. When a young man who was deaf, was having his weapon taken from him by force, it discharged. There was a second of silence, then Forsyth gave the order to fire. That they did, mowing down the warriors, as well as women and children. The let lose with the Hotchkiss guns, Gatling guns, and the devastation was quick. However, being in a circle, many of their own bullets his comrades on the other side of the circle.
The frozen bodies left in the snow was a testament to the brutality. However in the investigation, the government exonerated Forsyth and his men. Miles brought him up on charges, but the inquiry just said he may have camped too close to the Native Americans, allowing for sabotage, but not giving any clear blame. In fact, just to prove the troops were not at fault, 20 citations were made for action in this battle. That is more than are generally given after a battle, let alone a massacre.
To finish the rub, a grandson of Big Foot's actual name (rather than the one given by the Americans) is Chief Spotted Elk.

Good morning boys and girls... "XHTML ?" asked my friend "why should I need that ? I am doin HTML 3.2 right now, and it is really enough for me!" I think, my friend has some right ideas. Why should I really use another new language ? Using a new one means work, and learning new tags. Also there is the problem of incompatibilty to old browsers. My meaning to XHTML is, that you really should stay on it. I recommened the use of XHTML, because of all it possibilities. ( which are found @http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml ) Just one thing you should never do: Following a M$ standard makes you incompatibel to other systems. As I saw it in HTML 4.0 you took many tags from the IE into the specification, which only IE understands. This is not very good for us, the Linux, Amiga, BeOS, UN*X Apple & Co. user. sincerly yours, Nico Schottelius -- ***) Nico Schottelius ***) email@example.com ***) http://www.pcsystems.de/~nicos/Received on Thursday, 18 March 1999 11:09:33 UTC

Ms. Johansen
My name is Kaycee Carpenter and I am so excited to be your child's 2nd grade teacher this year! This is my first year teaching at Towne Meadows, but my fourth year teaching 2nd grade!
About Me
I was born and raised in a small farm town in Washington state. My hometown is so small, that we just received our first stoplight about 5 years ago! I recently moved to Arizona this past July and am having a love/hate relationship with the weather here. I adore the warmth, but am missing wearing sweaters!
I love to be around my friends and family, exploring my new home, and drinking as much Starbucks as I can (the nearest Starbucks to me is 3 minutes away instead of 30 like I'm used to)! I am a huge Washington State University fan and will root for them every chance I get! I attended WSU for a couple of years before transferring to Central Washington University and graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. From there, I began my teaching career in the Grandview School District.
I am SO excited to now be apart of the Gilbert and Towne Meadows community! Go Timberwolves!

IMAGE UNITED Weekly - Rob Liefeld
It's something that hasn't been tried before. Six superstar artists working together, sharing pages and drawing their respective characters interacting on a singe comic book series.
And in the case of Image United, what makes it even more groundbreaking is that these artists are six of the seven founders of Image Comics, the company that made comic book history in 1992 when Erik Larsen, Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane, Whilce Portacio, Marc Silvestri, Jim Valentino and Jim Lee left Marvel to give creator-owned projects a new foothold in the industry.
Now six of the founders (without Lee, who has moved his WildStorm characters to DC Comics) are doing something pretty revolutionary with Image United – a project being written by the latest Image partner, Robert Kirkman. Each artist will draw the characters he created, meaning sometimes one page might have all six artists working on it, a process that is forcing them to send the pages back and forth to each other until they are completed.
Very little of the story before now has been revealed, except for the surprise announcement that the main villain in Image United would be Al Simmons, the original Spawn. But Larsen told us two weeks ago that "the notion of it is that the character Fortress has seen a vision of a world in which everything has gone really screwy, and it's all the fault of the Image characters not acting in a way and doing things in a way they should have been to have things go right. So it's a lot like a 'Days of Future Past' type story."
"'Worlds will live, worlds will die' has become a much misused cliché over the last several years," admitted Valentino last week, "but with Image United, Robert, and all the rest of us, want to turn it into an axiom."
This week, we get more information on the process behind Image United and its story from Liefeld, who's getting to draw characters like Youngblood and Supreme.
Newsarama: Rob, we've talked before about how you guys put together this project. But what was your personal motivation to do this? Why did the project and the opportunity appeal to you in particular?
Rob Liefeld: Great question. So many answers. I was motivated by working with all my talented peers at Image, I was motivated by the process of creating this very unique project, I was motivated by fulfilling a promise of sorts for our fans that I don't believe we ever really delivered on. Back in 1992, we told everyone that we were going to work together and share characters and build a shared experience, and after a brief period at the outset, we fell away from that and never really returned to it. Image United delivers on all those early aspirations.
Nrama: Looking back, the founding of Image Comics has come to mean a lot of things to a lot of people. How do you remember that time?
Liefeld: I remember that time when we created Image as a breaking of the old guard. We shattered the system from all angles. From comics' production, distribution, publishing, storytelling, design, we ushered in a new era.
Marvel and DC were powerhouses and Image rose up and really shook things up. DC was much more affected than Marvel; I mean, we leapt over DC with only 8 comic books to become the #2 publisher in 1992. Talk about a shock to the system. We certainly didn't see it coming. Image kicked off an absolute frenzy; it affected every aspect of our business, good and bad. No one had any idea that Image was going to erupt as it did.
I was in my young 20's – I was 23 in 1992 – and I remember it all as one of the best times in my life. For fans that I have had the opportunity to speak to over the years, Image meant a great deal to them as they followed our careers and our characters with great personal investment. The industry was booming as Image emerged and our fans remember the roller coaster ride as one of their favorite experiences. Some of them who were disappointed that the company fractured are freaked out by the promise of Image United.
Nrama: With this project, do the words Image United have more than one meaning to you?
Liefeld: Well, as we the original founders have united, so have the characters, in ways that they have not in years. There's so much cross-pollination right now, lots of sharing and future sharing of concepts and characters. It's giving the company a big shot in the arm.
Nrama: What do you think of the story? How would you describe it?
Liefeld: I think the story is a classic good vs. evil story that pits Image Comics' greatest heroes against their greatest villains, and I know first hand that it will shake up the characters and titles involved in the story. But at its most basic, its great fun, with a mystery or two to be revealed with some great action to boot. The characters are united by multiple threats and respond as heroes do, they fight for what they believe to be right. Throw some time travel in there for good measure. There's a sub-plot where we creators all go back in time to 1992 and ship our books on time! Look out!!!
Nrama: What characters are you working on, and what role do the characters play in the story?
Liefeld: So far I've drawn everyone from the Youngblood team to Bloodstrike, Supreme, Brigade... and there's way more to come. Plenty of villains as well. Chapel, Blackrock, Overtkill... Robert Kirkman is fitting it all in along the way. It's fun to get the pages and see all of Larsen's characters, Valentino's, Silvestri's, McFarlane's, everyone's villains and supporting casts are making appearances throughout the series.
Nrama: What's the process been like over the last year of working on Image United?
Liefeld: It's a series of fits and starts, bursts and stops. You complete a batch of pages and then send those off and wait for another batch from the next guy. But it hasn't been a hindrance, since we started the whole process 14 months ago.
Nrama: Have you guys hit any snafus?
Liefeld: No, not yet. Fed Ex losing a package would be a snafu. My dog eating pages would be a snafu. We are all pros we know how to respond to pressure, deadlines, crazy shipping of pages. Expectations are everything and I keep expecting pages to get lost, so as long as that doesn't happen, I'm good.
Nrama: Are you feeling good about your ability to get all the issues done in a timely manner?
Liefeld: Absolutely, the pages keep coming in and going out the door. We'll hit our marks.
Nrama: What has the experience been like for you, placing those characters into the story and seeing them interact in this way?
Liefeld: The whole experience is great, great fun. I can't stress enough that I've never ever experienced anything like this as a fan, and I'm always in fan mode on this. Reading Robert's scripts, seeing how he is mixing up the universe and how the characters are being divided is a big thrill. Knowing I'll be sharing a page with Todd or Marc or Whilce or everybody is a rush. The process of teaming the characters as well as the creators keeps the whole thing fresh.
Nrama: If someone else was planning to do a comic the same way, what advice would you have for them?
Liefeld: Start early.
Nrama: Do you think this experience has shaped the way your company will work in the future?
Liefeld: This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. I know others could imitate the process, but for me, this is once-in-a-lifetime, getting the guys who founded the company together for a cross-over event featuring their original characters. I do believe that Image United is a re-branding of Image Comics to new audiences and a surge for the fans that have been waiting for something like this since the company's launch.

newschool graduates
Here is an updated list of New School PhDs who have academic appointments. If you are someone whose name is included on this list and you would prefer not to be included, please contact me directly at email@example.com. I will remove your name post haste, without any resentment and with no questions asked. If you are a New School graduate or know one whose name ought to be on the list, email me or leave a comment below. I won't promise any action post haste but I will include the name and institutional affiliation on any possible future version of this list.
An earlier instantiation of this list was meant to demonstrate (contrary to some rumors circulating among some graduate students) that NS Philosophy PhDs do in fact hold full-time academic positions, conduct research, and publish scholarship. It was also meant to supplement the online presence of Philosophy at NSSR. The New School has a website, of course, but it is mainly a kind of glossy advertisement for the current program and has no substantive information about graduates. From the perspective of students, graduation can appear to be a kind of event horizon beyond which, well, New Schoolers appear to be sucked into a black hole, never to be heard from again.
Yet as NS Philosophy slowly becomes a more professionalized, standardized, and conventional program, the goals of the previous instantiation no longer appear to me to be particularly important. True, the NS still does not publish anything on graduate placements. But what seems more pressing at this point is to stress the heterogeneity of New School Philosophers. NS PhDs do of course do excellent work in German Idealism and Phenomenology but they do a lot of other things, too. This list reflects a wide diversity of research areas and interests, a trend which I anticipate (and hope!) will continue, even in the face of homogenization and professionalization.
New School Philosophy PhDs are a diverse group in other ways, as well. According to this list, they work at 56 different academic institutions, in North America, Asia, Europe, and Australia. In fact, I think the list is far from complete and that more information would show a group with an even greater diversity of interests, working in nearly all parts of the world (I am for example almost certain that there are NS Philosophers working in Latin America although that is not reflected here). After all, this list is based only on information that can be found on the internet, not on any information held or published by the New School.
Finally, I should give my thanks to the several commenters who added to the earlier instantiation. The present version would be far less informative without them.

The following analysis was completed by DPE based on an October 2016 attitudinal
survey of 1,004 professional and technical employees. Here, the responses of 152 professionals
who described their political views as completely independent are separately analyzed and, in
part, compared to Democrats and Republicans.
Among the 152 respondents: 70% were employed in the private, for-profit sector; 21%
were employed in the public sector; 44% were aged 45 and over; 40% were employed in
engineering, business, finance, computer, and math occupations; 60% were White; 14% were
Black or African American; and 47% earned under $75,000 per year.
68% of Independents described their approach to issues as "moderate." 17% indicated
their approach was conservative and 15% indicated their approach was liberal.
Independents were a complex group of professionals. While they were skeptical about the
benefits of joining together in union, they did not share the strong anti-union sentiments held by
Republicans. Ultimately, Independents were open to the benefits of joining together, but will
require evidence that unions can deliver.
Additional data and analysis is available for DPE affiliated unions and their staff.

I was at the mall yesterday. There's a whole new outdoor section that has beautiful tiled fountains and limestone walkways - shiny, polished limestone.
On the way in, I was following this skinny woman who was wearing fashionably ugly little booties something like this:
She wasn't doing well. I had serious big fear because she was slipping and teetering so badly. Her poor ankles were wobbly and her calf muscles were bulging from the effort of keeping herself upright.
I thought she was going to go down any minute, and not in a good way.
I got abreast of her and glanced over: "she" was a guy in drag.
Bad long stringy wig, too much makeup, guy face, adam's apple, white blouse, short skirt, booties.
Look - dress, or cross-dress however you want. If a dude wants to feel pretty and strut the mall in a pencil skirt, that's all right by me.
What I DO find offensive is the shoes, people. The shoes. Here's my advice to the sisters: If you can't walk it, you can't rock it.

Day: May 31, 2011
Michael Moore Does The Left No Favors
I've long thought that Michael Moore harms liberal causes more than he helps them, even though he sometimes says things that are very true and need to be said. This post will attempt to shine some light on his sometimes warped perspectives and fantastical ideas that make liberals look bad and mislead many people who aren't able to or don't take the time to investigate the voracity of his statements
Here is just one example of Mr. Moore's apparent ignorance or willful spreading of bogus information from a year and a half ago. I chose it because it highlights a lot of what is wrong with his thinking. It's falls into the "betrayal" category with that small group of bloggers and pundits who are best described as the Professional Left. From "An Open Letter To President Obama from Michael Moore" (emphasis mine)…
Do you really want to be the new "war president"? If you go to West Point tomorrow night (Tuesday, 8pm) and announce that you are increasing, rather than withdrawing, the troops in Afghanistan, you are the new war president. Pure and simple. And with that you will do the worst possible thing you could do — destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have placed in you. With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics. You will teach them what they've always heard is true — that all politicians are alike. I simply can't believe you're about to do what they say you are going to do. Please say it isn't so.
IT ISN'T SO! What alternate reality are you operating from, Michael? That highlighted portion above is fantasy, based on either ignorance or he is willfully misleading his readers for exactly what reason, I don't know. The problem with Michael Moore's hyperbole is that those "multitude of young people who are the backbone of your campaign" actually heard President Obama say the words below many times, unlike Mr. Moore apparently.
Why on earth would Moore imply that President Obama was going against his word and would "destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have placed in you." It just isn't true, Michael. As a supporter of candidate Obama since the keynote address at the 2004 convention, I've listened very carefully to what he said. I listened to his arguments on the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, I studied his responses and knew exactly how he felt about both war fronts. He is doing exactly what he said he would do. I may not have completely agreed with him on all of it, but he did make it quite clear. How can that be said to "destroy" hopes and dreams if those never were their hopes and dreams. There are no real supporters of candidate Obama who thought for a minute that he was going to pull us out of Afghanistan immediately. NONE! Because he repeatedly and consistently told us that he thought the focus needed to shift back to Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the people who actually attacked us on 9/11 were at.
In light of the killing of OBL, I think the American people, including those "millions" who placed their hopes and dreams in the president, know that he fulfilled his campaign promise. They have been reminded of it recently by the media and no amount of Michael Moore's rewriting of history can change that. It only serves to shine a light on Michael Moore's shifting outrage and opportunism. He loves being a thorn in the side of power, even when that power is on the same side of the ideological spectrum.
I also challenge his idea that all young people are complete pacifists. I've been at the university I currently work at for over 20 years, as an undergrad and grad student and for 15 years as a technician and adjunct professor. I talk to a lot of young people, conservative, liberal and everywhere in between. There are some who are pacifists for sure, but they are a very slim minority. This isn't the 60's or 70's anymore on college campuses. These people didn't live through the Vietnam War like many of us and they didn't experience the anti-war protests in the late 60's and early 70's.. They've barely been taught about the Vietnam War and what followed it. It's not right, but it is the truth. So, to imply that current young people are all pacifists and there "hopes and dreams would be destroyed" is just stupid and naive. Even if it were true that the president went back on his word, which it is not (see above clip if you are still stuck on that point), but even if he did, would it really destroy their hopes and dreams, Michael? Really? Remember, this group has grown up in a much different world than us older folks. They grew up in the era of the television wars, Iraq twice, Afghanistan and all the other interventions.
And don't forget, many of them grew up with President Bush and his goons telling them all sorts of wrong information and repeating it ad nauseam on the highest rated cable network, Fox News. I'm sure Micheal will claim to know them because he gives speeches for over $20,000 a pop to them, arriving in his limo, I assume, and flying back to either his multi-million dollar apartment in New York City or his multi-million dollar Lake Michigan beachfront property near Traverse City. But the reality is that college campuses have a wide range of opinions on them and his use of a warped stereotype of young people and a bogus proposition, that the President went back on his word, is just misleading and wrong. What would be his real motivation for this hyperbole? Tien at The People's View poses a great theory about many of the "critics" on the left, narcissism, but I've been told that narcissists are also concerned about their appearance and Michael doesn't seem to have that problem.
For a recent example of Michael Moore's fantastical rantings, check out this story about his recent bout with "Twittarrhea" that left a huge mess all over the Twitterverse. It's another window into the mind of Michael Moore and why he does us liberals no favors.
The Root Of The Problem With The Professional Left – Narcissism
The People's View, one of my new favorite blogs, introduced a new blogger this weekend with a phenomenal post that explains the motivations behind many of the Obama-haters on the left who seem intent on undermining our democratic president and party. I highly recommend you go read the entire post. I'm pasting a couple of paragraphs I really liked, but go read the whole thing. It sheds a lot of light on this problem and gives great advice on how we as a party and individuals should deal with it. I learned a few things that I will attempt to apply on this blog. From Tien at The People's View…
To satisfy a need on my part to understand the underlying psychology of people who claim they represent the Progressive Left but who have a singular focus of berating our Democratic President, I embarked on a small research project to learn why this happens.
It turns out the answer is fairly simple. The cause of this phenomenon is narcissism. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) has quite an array of symptoms and behaviors that easily match those demonstrated by a host of pundits, professional demonstrators and keyboard warriors all claiming to represent the 'base' of the liberal population in this country.
Given a list of symptoms from any one source, the dominant symptom is a pathological need for attention that far surpasses that of ordinary people. Secondary symptoms include extreme envy of others or belief that others envy them; inability to recognize boundaries or experience empathy; hypersensitivity to insults and criticism; an over-inflated sense of self-importance; unrealistic expectations and a preoccupation with success and power.

visit360.net, the guide to wonders of the world in 360°
Tat Kuang Si Falls in 360°
Tat Kuang Si (sometimes spelled Kuang Xi,) is a scenic spot 30km south of Luang Prabang, a must for all nature-lovers visiting northern Laos. It has got a many-tiered waterfall tumbling over limestone formations into a series of cool, turquoise pools.
1. What to see
Most of these pools are open to swimming and the entire area is is well maintained with walkways and bridges to guide the visitor.
2. When to see
The best time to visit is between the end of the monsoon in November and the peak of the dry season in April.
3. Location
4. Where to stay
There are plenty of hotels to select from in Luang Prabang. Just to name a few of the renovated mansions that were converted into hotels: Villa Santi Hotel, Mekong River View Hotel, Sayo River Guest House and finally our selection, Phousi Guesthouse. Each of them has numerous reasons why to stay there: Villa Santi is just on the major road connecting Wat Xieng Thong with the royal palace, Mekong River View and Sayo River Guest House face river Mekong, Phousi Guesthouse is very close to the royal palace in a side street.

The Holy Swords (聖剣 Seiken) are weapons infused with Holy power and are considered to be the ultimate weapons against Devils and also Fallen Angels.
There are two types of Holy Swords in High School DxD:
- The first type of Holy Swords are the mass produced light swords used by exorcists to exorcize Devils. As the name suggests, these swords have blades made from pure light. They are the more basic of the two types.
- The second type of Holy Swords are the "true" Holy Swords wielded by legendary heroes, such as Excalibur and Durandal. Unlike the normal light swords, "true" Holy Swords requires humans with high amounts of the light element inside their body in order to wield them, as such only a few people in a decade or so get chosen.
The Sacred Gear Blade Blacksmith has the ability to create Holy Swords, however, they are inferior to the real ones.
For a human person to be able to wield a true holy sword, they must inherit the Property of Light at a Blessing Ceremony.
As the Holy Sword uses holy power as its source, it is extremely powerful against Devils, and by extension the Fallen Angels. Small scratches from Holy Swords are enough to cause lethal damage to Devils and Fallen Angels. However, only a select few with the inborn ability (stated to be a large amount of light attribute) have the capability to wield a "True" Holy Sword. Holy Swords that are broken can be reforged as long as the core is still intact, as shown in the case of Excalibur. It is also possible for two different Holy Swords to be fused into one, as in the case of Ex-Durandal.
Each Holy Sword has great offensive powers when compared against a normal sword. Especially those forged by the God of the Bible and the Kusanagi.
Holy SwordsEdit
These are the Holy Swords of legend.
Excalibur is one of the two Holy Swords wielded by the Legendary King of Britain, King Arthur Pendragon, of Camelot. It was broken in the war long ago and reforged into seven swords through alchemy. Two swords each were stored by the Catholic Church Headquarter Vatican, Protestant Church, and Eastern Orthodox Church.
In Volume 3 of the light novels, Kokabiel and his men stole an Excalibur from each Church. Shortly after stealing Irina's sword, the four stolen Excaliburs were temporarily fused into one by Valper Galilei. The fused Excalibur (wielded by Freed Sellzen) was broken by the combined forces of Yuuto's Sword of Betrayer and Xenovia's Durandal. The broken fragments were then retrieved by Irina back to the Church to be reforged. The Excalibur fragments under the Orthodox Church were later fused into the Durandal as "Control Parts" for Xenovia, who was still unable to fully master the Durandal, to help protect the Peace Treaty between the Angels, Devils and Fallen Angels from terrorists and outside forces.
The known Excaliburs are Excalibur Destruction, Excalibur Mimic, Excalibur Rapidly, Excalibur Nightmare, Excalibur Transparency, Excalibur Blessing, and Excalibur Ruler. The Excalibur Swords were fused into the Durandal.
Durandal is a Holy Sword that was previously wielded by the Paladin of the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne: Roland. Roland had used the sword to fight an army of 100,000 men. It is a Holy Sword that is said to be on par with the original Excalibur. It is a sword with destructive powers that cannot be compared and has the ability to cut through anything when wielded by a master. It is the main weapon of Xenovia; however due to the sword's immense strength, as shown by Roland, she has yet to fully master it. The Durandal was later upgraded into the Ex-Durandal (エクスデュランダル Ekusu-Dyurandaru) by using the remaining Excalibur fragments which function in the form of a sheath. The Excalibur fragments can also be temporarily separated and materialized as additional swords for Xenovia's use. The Ex-Durandal was shattered in Volume 11 by Cao Cao, using one of the True Longinus' Seven Treasures, but was repaired and fully completed after gaining the final Excalibur fragment that was previously owned by Arthur Pendragon. As of Volume 19, Xenovia uses Durandal in combination with Excalibur for her dual-sword style.
Ascalon is a Holy Sword previously wielded by Saint George, the Dragon-killing Saint. Unlike the other Holy Swords, Ascalon specializes in killing Dragons and is named the Dragon Slayer (龍退治の剣(ドラゴンスレイヤ Doragon Sureiyā). It was passed on to Issei in Volume 4 by Archangel Michael as a sign of peace between the Three Factions. However, members of each faction had to use various spells, alchemy, and powers to allow Issei to wield it without being damaged by the sword's Dragon Slayer attribute. The sword is usually stored in the Boosted Gear and can be summoned in battle. Issei, however, rarely uses the sword and mostly lends it to Xenovia during fights. Issei later learns how to channel Ascalon's Dragon Slayer power into his attacks.
Caliburn, also known as Collbrande, is the other Holy Sword wielded by King Arthur. The Sword in the Stone known as the Holy King Sword (聖王剣 Seiōken). It is the most powerful Holy Sword to be created, possessing sharpness and destructive powers that surpasses even that of Excalibur and Durandal. It is currently owned by Arthur Pendragon, a descendant of the original King Arthur.
In the anime, Arthur reveals Caliburn has power over space and dimensions.
Ame no Murakumo no TsurugiEdit
Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi (天叢雲剣, lit. "Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven") is a Holy Sword of Shinto legends that rivals the original Excalibur and Durandal. It is also known as the Kusanagi no Tsurugi ("Grass-Cutting Sword"). Unlike the other Holy Swords, that are said to be forged by God, the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi was found inside the body of the legendary 8-headed Evil Dragon, Yamata no Orochi.
It appears in the short-story published on Dragon Magazine, where it was broken and is undergoing repair. In Volume 18, Qlippoth used a portion of the Yamata-no-Orochi's soul to repair the broken Ame no Murakumo and gave it to Masaomi Yaegaki, a former Exorcist of the Church for his revenge. After Yaegaki is defeated, the broken Ame-no-Murakumo is taken back to continue its repair.
Totsuka no TsurugiEdit
Totsuka no Tsurugi (戸塚の敦木, lit. "Sword of Length of Ten Fists") is a Holy Spirit Sword from ancient times.
It appears in the short story published in Dragon Magazine, Let's go with Training.
A Holy Sword previously used by Olivier. It is currently owned by Irina after being given to her by her father, stating that she was the most qualified to wield it. The sword has the ability to purify even those that are cut by it.
Galatine is a holy sword considered to be the sibling sword of Excalibur, it is a unique blade whose blade can never be nicked. Its original carrier was Sir Gawain, a member of the Knights of the Round Table.
- Irina's family had possession of a Holy Sword during Irina's youth, though its identity is unknown as it does not resemble any of the known Holy Swords.

Yes I got the grey Focco bag as well and quite honestly I blame the likes of @Jen who told me in my White Focco post that THIS was the gorgeous one...
Well it is okay? As soon as I ripped it open I smiled and when my mum saw me on Saturday she demanded I get her one - so I did.
It's the same deal. Gold hardware etc....but this time the colour is nude/grey/lilac.
I think I should let the photos speak for themselves. I have nothing else to say. I am too embarrassed. I will however add that:
a) This may be my favourite one - even though the side zip has a wee hole in it - as the colour is perfect: softer than the white and tonally neutral enough to wear with anything;
b) It's typically sold out on the eBay seller site I recommended but I am sure others have the same one - I just did a quick search with "studded bottom bag grey" in eBay and loads of sellers in China appeared, all using the same image so no doubt, they all come from the same factory:
c) It looks nothing like the photos on eBay; and
c) THIS IS REALLY IT. I won't be buying more. All the colours I was curious about have been exhausted and I have got a grip.

Um...okay...well...sure I guess. If that's where you want to take the show AMC - down the drain - then yeah, let's continue on that course. Dear readers and devoted watchers of The Killing, I am here to say that the only thing on this miserable show that's been killed is the writing and the viewership. How in the world does it create such hype in its first weeks and a true fan base when coming down the tracks is a giant pile of crap...horse shit if you will. I just don't get it.
We reminded in a very odd opening scene depicting a child's room, that we are exactly where we left off last week. Girl cop and Boy cop are laying on the floor waiting for the FBI to clear them. The stuff in the room is white, pink and girly. Much like a 12 year old would have. How old is Rosie supposed to be again? IDK and it doesn't matter. Now they think she is involved in terrorism. WTF. Girl cop completely shuts out boy cop because she is sure as shit that he is a bad cop, doing illegal stuff and after getting her ass handed to her by her boss, she decides that she just has to follow him. And guess what she finds ya'll. She finds boy cop at AA. Or in his case NA. Now, what episode are we in? 8? Didn't I have that plot line wrapped up back in the 3rd episode? The money in the mailbox was for his family I said...so swap out wife for sister. And now girl cop has a new appreciation for him. Great girl cop...glad you could finally jump on board. She still cant get in touch with her fiancee, and its probably because he's out murdering small girls, but she does get in touch with his assistant - Emmie - which was a new little twist. Who the hell is Emmie? And girl cop's lack of wardrobe, makeup, and her ratty hair are making me dislike her with every passing minute.
Oh and girl cop...even though your son plays video games, I doubt he is old enough to look at graphic crime scene photos...that you just happened to look at while he was sitting behind you. And I told her that during the scene. Not my problem if she didn't hear me. But him releasing them to his friends was not cool, but one of those little bitches gave it to the press. And I think that's the most offensive crime here. You never talk to the press. Unless they are asking for autographs.
The dude running for Mayor turned dirty - SHOCKER. He and his 2 campaign aides are creeeepy and I hate that whole story line. AND, don't you think you could have shown a better character at the drunk driving hearing? The woman looked like she was sweet lil Betty Crocker. I can only imagine her back story...she apparently killed your wife after she guzzling down martinis at the Rusty Anchor looking for a sailor to take home to her uh...port. Too much?
Good for Stan for taking down Rosie's room. They have 2 other children that are going unnoticed and Stan finally took a stand. YOU GO GLEN COCO. Mom is still off the rails but we were once again reminded that we are only a week out from the murder. And when Mitch blames Stan for letting her stay that weekend...and then he blames Mitch for being to strict? Ut-oh...the blame game is going to start and it never has a happy ending.
Also - the sister, Terry, was back in this episode and was I the only one getting a strange, sexual vibe between her and Stan? Obviously it turned to fear and anger after she told him that Mitch had almost asphyxiated their remaining children. We need more info on her STAT. And where the hell is Jasper's father. I want more of him too and not just because he is handsome.
As the last minutes start wrapping up the show, we enter the Ahmad house to find Bennett speaking Somalis into his phone while his scared, pregger wife stands in the hall. Passports are coming tomorrow he says...no the cops don't know anything. Oh Bennett. They do. Because my boy hot cop is listening in as we speak. One thing that did stand out was the end scene - there is a cop car driving one way but we are obviously in the other car. So either where are we going or who was in the other car? Does anyone agree with that?
Sleepy, confused and praying for a good dream involving Josh Charles,

During some down time at the conference, I grabbed a pen and started drawing the house floor plan. I thought this would be easy to do...after all, I do live there. However, it was not easy and I actually had to draw it twice - the first time I forgot the coat closet and pantry. So, here is my horrible drawing of my floor plan:
Now you can get the flow of the house. You can see how the laundry room is like a hallway and know where the Man Cave is. That is if you can read my hand writing.
I will make time to measure and draw a proper floor plan. It will be different, I can see mistakes in my drawing. But the general flow and placement is close.

House of Hope: Gardening for Recovery –Sharon Wagner
Sharon Wagner, ex-Director, South Georgia House of Hope, will talk about "His Tomato Girls" from Seed to Salsa, at South Georgia Growing Local 2014:
Why we started an organic garden.
How we grew heirloom tomatoes.
Her conference bio:
Sharon Wagner — Executive Director
Sharon's background includes a 15-year addiction to cocaine which she overcame in 1987 with the love of God and the discipline of Teen Challenge. While at the Walter Hoving home in New York, Sharon received a vision to provide a home for women — a place of safety and healing. In 2005, out of a passion to bring healing and freedom to women struggling with alcohol, drugs, and abuse, Sharon and her husband rick founded the South Georgia House of Hope here in Valdosta, Georgia. This began a journey of faith that will last a lifetime.
Sharon has personally experienced the healing power of organic foods as part of the recovery process. It is her desire to teach the ladies the importance of not only growing but also enjoying fresh and healthy food. This is an essential part of detoxification — replenishing nutrients that have been lost through years of drug and alcohol use. The organic garden at the House of Hope teaches the ladies how to work together as a team, while also building healthy minds and bodies.
Come to SOGALO2014 and hear Sharon Wagner talk about tomatoes and recovery!
Okra seized by SWAT team
An anonymous tip was the basis for a warrant for a SWAT team to hold small farmers at gunpoint in handcuffs while the cops took their okra and tomatoes and code compliance officers mowed the grass. Is your grass mowed to code? If sometimes not, maybe you'll agree police militarization has gone too far.
As Monika Diaz put it for WFAA on 12 August 2013, Owner irked after raid on Arlington's 'Garden of Eden'.
Shellie Smith, the owner of Arlington's "Garden of Eden" says police and code enforcement agents "destroyed everything" in a raid on August 2, 2013.
You might be irked, too.
Radley Balko wrote for Huffpo Thursday, Texas Police Hit Organic Farm With Massive SWAT Raid,
Members of the local police raiding party had a search warrant for marijuana plants, which they failed to find at the Garden of Eden farm. But farm owners and residents who live on the property told a Dallas-Ft. Worth NBC station that the real reason for the law enforcement exercise appears to have been code enforcement. The police seized "17 blackberry bushes, 15 okra plants, Continue reading

June 2
Lat: 42.457222 Lon: -6.055833
Today I was awakened by everybody getting up and packing to leave so I got up at 6 a.m., packed out, and was on the trail by 6:30 a.m. The trail today was one of those parts that gives you options on the which route to take. At the last house in town you have a choice to make on which way to go. You can take the "senda" route, which walks along the side of the road, or you can take the route that goes overland and through the various little towns and villages. I chose the latter route which was longer and less travelled and I left the "senda" to everyone else. It was a nice peaceful route and the weather was a mild 48 degrees that climbed to around 68 degrees.
After about an hour I came across someone else that wanted peace and quiet. It wasn't long before I met a woman named Joanie and we walked along together. We came into the small village of Villares de Orbigo, where we had breakfast together. Shortly after we started eating, Jamie came in and joined us. This was the only place that was open at that time of morning, but the food was good.
We all finally left and headed on toward Astorga. Somewhere alongside the way, Jamie dropped back but we picked up a fellow from California, Jeff. He is a fireman with the Santa Clara Fire Department. He had a good pace and all three of us got along very well. We made it all the way to Astorga where we had lunch together, but then they pushed on to a further distance. I, on the other hand stayed in Astorga where I went into the Caminos museum and the Cathedral.
I checked into my "hostelles" at the Gaudi Hotel, where I have a room which is really nice. Hawk and Christine came into town later in the day. I had a great time in town and the dinner was great. After dinner we walked around town until nearly dark, and by the way, it doesn't get dark until after 10 p.m. so you always get in bed when it is still light. As a point of interest, this is one of those towns that if you weren't in a hurry or on a time schedule you could easily take an extra day and check out the sights, maybe even walk back to the Chocolate Museum. It was closed today and tomorrow as it is the celebration of Corpus Christi, a Festival day.
Tomorrow is going to be a longer day so I'll be up early to continue the journey. There's more to follow... Buen Camino!
