Every business begins with a dream that takes its owner on a proverbial journey. Victor Sanchez did things a little bit backwards. He was out on the open road, rumbling along on a transcontinental motorcycle adventure to Argentina, and he crossed path with his muse: food. Victor fell so in love with the exotic cuisines he sampled throughout Mexico and South America that he vowed to share them with his Canadian neighbors.
Instead of starting from the ground up, Victor expedited the process. He purchased Carlos Cantina & Grill, a local hotspot with a solid reputation for tasty Mexican food. Though he vowed to preserve the menu that made the eatery so popular, Victor payed homage to the trip that started it all. He's added monthly South American specialties to the lineup of tacos, chimichangas, and chicken mole in a homemade sauce. He recruited a team of chefs that craft flavourful burritos and enchiladas for people of all culinary inclinations—noting on the menu which entrees are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. Tangy margaritas and fire extinguishers filled with guacamole are always available to cool off tongues as guests dine amid brightly patterned tablecloths and warm adobe walls.
After years in the IT industry, Danielle was ready for a change. Her tech-based clients seemed to be in perpetually foul moods, and she longed for days filled with smiles and the occasional inspirational conversation. She had always loved to paint, so opening her paint-your-own pottery studio felt like a natural way to fuse her passion for art with her desire to interact with people in a helpful way. Only one more thing was standing in the way of bringing her dream to life: a business partner, which she quickly found in her daughter Jennifer.
Together, this mother-and-daughter team runs Danielle's Glass Fusing and Contemporary Ceramics Studio. To inspire creativity in others, they stock the studio's shelves with more than 300 bisque pieces, including mugs, bowls, and figurines. The pair guides artists through the creation process, helping them use stamps, stencils, and each other's ponytails to paint personal masterpieces. When not glazing and firing their customers' finished artwork, the duo also teaches classes on fused glass and hosts special events such as birthday parties.
Recipient of a 2008 reader's choice award from Peninsula News Review, Ardmore Golf Course has challenged club-brandishers with its nine holes since course designer E.S. Wise opened the grounds in 1926. Before teeing off against opponents, visitors rehearse their swinging skills at a practice putting green, driving net, and chipping area. Golfers in need of expert tutelage can turn to CPGA professional instructor Steve Middleton, who harnesses more than 30 years of golfing experience to help pupils find their natural swing and reunite with lost balls raised by wolves. In addition to tournament participants, Ardmore Golf Course accommodates overnight players in their golfer's cottage, a furnished abode with a full kitchen, television, and wireless Internet. After each round guests can scarf down gourmet fare concocted by chef Graham Little, load up on golfing gear at the pro shop, admire the course's 110-foot tall, 1,100 year-old douglas fir, or search the sky for wild birds and escaped golf clubs flying overhead.
Fresh Cup Roastery Cafe owner Jim Townley professes the gospel of single-origin coffees whose flavours can "stand on their own." He imports organic beans from farmer-run co-ops in countries as far-flung as Indonesia, Peru, and Ethiopia. The beans release bold, nuanced flavours as they roast in the café's proprietary Roastaire. Fresh Cup also conducts tours of its roasting facilities to prove that the environmentally friendly roaster doesn't resort to dark, medium, or light magic. A team of engineers designed the roaster to conserve heat energy with a closed-loop system while precise controls produce consistent quality, eliminating the worry of burnt beans or hyper-caffeination.
Baristas stir the hearts of coffee lovers with artisanal touches such as house-mulled cider and the house-made caramel sauce that sweetens macchiatos. Wholesome ingredients such as organic flour and local free-range eggs make their way into soups, quiches, and panini sandwiches.

PARKERS PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- The pilot of a small plane has died in a crash in western Minnesota.
The Otter Tail County Sheriff's Office says it got a call about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday that a plane had gone down north of Parkers Prairie. A man who lives along county Highway 40 heard the crash and found the damaged single-engine plane on his property.
KBRF (http://bit.ly/xcSxgL ) reports the pilot was alone in the plane and did not survive the crash.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating.

It's unfortunate, but true: The elderly population may be the most vulnerable group in our society. In fact, in an effort to call attention to the problems of physical, emotional and financial abuse of the elderly, the United Nations has designated June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. If you have older parents, or even grandparents, can you do to anything to help prevent them from being victimized, especially with regard to their finances?
Actually, there's a lot you can do. First and foremost, you need to maintain good communications and a trusting relationship with your older family members. As long as these elements are present, you should feel free to make the following suggestions:
Increase awareness -- When it comes to financial fraud and scams, many seniors think: "It can't happen to me." But the facts suggest otherwise: Some 20 percent of Americans over the age of 65 admit to having been victimized by financial swindles, according to a survey by the non-profit Investor Protection Trust. Let your loved ones know that no one in their age group is immune to financial predators.
Guard private information -- Ask your parents or grandparents to not divulge personal information over the phone. In fact, urge them to get caller ID, if they don't have it already, and tell them that if they don't recognize the number, don't answer. Legitimate callers are more likely to leave messages than scammers.
Don't send money. Exhort your parents or grandparents to never wire money to a random account -- no exceptions.
Ignore "limited-time offers" -- Your loved ones should ignore callers, mailers or emails that demand they act immediately. These offers are often overblown at best and may be fraudulent at worst.
Don't trust "no risk" offers -- Financial offers that sound too good to be true are likely just that -- untrue. Legitimate investments carry both potential risks and rewards.
Avoid "debt-settlement" claims -- If your older loved ones have debt problems, they may be especially susceptible to offers that claim to "clear up" all their debts. But there's no quick fix to this problem and any caller who claims otherwise is likely being deceitful. Encourage your parents or grandparents to discuss their debt situation with an honest, professional debt counselor or a financial advisor.
Here's one more thing you can do to help your parents or grandparents avoid financial fraud: If they don't already work with a trusted, qualified financial professional, introduce them to one. If your parents have a relationship with such a professional, they will be less likely to listen to any questionable, unsolicited offers than if they were trying to manage their finances on their own.
You're in a good position to know how much, or how little, help your elderly loved ones may need in terms of avoiding financial abuse. So be willing to do whatever it takes to help them enjoy their retirement years comfortably.

The Eyes of The Soldier Empty blue eyes stare back at him, robbing him of the ability to pull back or look away. The man before him says nothing but observes him with obvious disgust. Before this gaze he is reminded of his weaknesses, his imperfections, and he has no choice but to wallow in them. This man is a soldier, programmed to faithfully carry out his duties with precision and frigid indifference. He has stared down the barrel of a rife with women and children in his sight, he has killed men in every manner possible, he has bathed his hands in the crimson life force of his victims, and yet he remains stoic. He has no heart left to be pierced with the bitter sting of guilt. Nothing shows in the soldier's cold glare, but he can sense discord behind the smooth façade of discipline and order. Somewhere within his hollow chest beats a mass of unshed tears and solid regrets, held in place by pride and absolute contr
It Was Always You "I had a dream last night." Feliciano glanced up at his friend who was staring at something beyond the window of the kitchen where they sat studying for their finals. Ludwig's pencil tapped pensively at the table, an action that usually sent him into fits of irritation. "I dreamt that I was in love with a little maid girl who worked in my house." His deep, blue eyes barely flickered behind the lenses of his reading glasses, unfocused but on the scene from his subconscious. "She was so pretty
but every time I tried to talk to her, she ran away." Silence fell, and Feliciano didn't have the heart to tell his friend that he had worn girl's clothes until he was in Kindergarten. "I had a dream last night." Ludwig snapped open the plastic water bottle, drinking down half of the contents and pouring the rest ov
Fleeting Feliciano leaned back against the German's broad chest, gazing up into the star-studded night sky. Meanwhile, a hesitant hand found its way to his head, thick fingers combing through auburn locks. He hummed contentedly, a smile on his lips. "Hey, Germany, have you ever wanted to be human?" Glacial eyes, softened with affection, met his with sharp questioning. "Not particularly, why?" "Look! A shooting star!" The delicately tapered digit traced the glittering path across the heavens. "Isn't it beautiful?" There was a low sigh and then, "Italy, we've seen hundreds of shooting stars, maybe even thousands. I agree that they are beautiful, but what does one small comet mean when we live in an eternity of shooting stars?" "See?" The response was almost whispered. Hand dropping onto his stomach, Feliciano looke
Snapshot The piercing clatter of bullets dragged Ludwig away from the carnival and to a dark place, a filthy trench choked with mud and the gore of his children. He felt their fear, their pain, their anguish as deaths like pinpricks assaulted his senses. Just the staccato drum roll of machinery stole his breath and captivated his attention, bringing with it the bittersweet flavor of blood. He inhaled sharply. "Look, look Germany!" At his side Feliciano was flapping his arms excitedly, a child-like grin stretched easily across his face. "Look at that bear! It's huuuge!" A quick glance at the aforementioned plush toy confirmed that the teddy bear was indeed quite large and smiling rather unnervingly at him. Ludwig nodded, looking away. "It is." "Will Germany win it for me? Please?" Sighing, the blond attempted to free h
16. Questioning - Germany+HRE Ludwig wandered aimlessly through the gloom, carefully observing the soft crunch of reeds beneath his boots and the low gurgle of the dark river to his left. The moon was visible and full as it set the Earth aglow with its pale radiance, providing just enough light to allow for convenient travel but not enough for him to determine his location. Somewhere in the distance, a train sounded its whistle and put the man at ease. Many a night he had fallen asleep with the familiar tone resounding in his chest. Inhaling deeply through his nose, he could taste his surroundings: the slightly fish-flavored water of the stream, the freshness of the plant life, the powdery dampness of the pebbles along the bank. It was a beautiful night, ripe with possibility. With a start, he realized that he almost hadn't seen the boy at the water's edge, pale feet dangling into the slow-moving river. He stopped short. "Excu
A Broken Toy Soldier Ludwig awoke to a sharp pain in his right leg, the sensation dragging low curses through gritted teeth. When he drew back the blankets with the intent of alleviating the pain, however, he found only one leg and an awkward, flesh-colored stub in place of the once-whole, healthy limb. Slowly, his half-sleeping mind caught up and he sighed, thick fingers combing through limp, flaxen tresses. "Mm
is it hurting again?" The man beside him stirred, sleepy amber eyes blinking open slowly. "Ludwig?" "Just a little." It wasn't right; he could still feel his foot twitching, his toes curling, even when his logical mind knew full well that his leg was gone from the knee down. "It's fine." They had been living like this for almost a year, where Ludwig would awake to crippling nightmares or phantom pains, in tears more often than not. It became clear to Feliciano very quickly
Ghosts Feliciano gently pushed open the ancient, weather-beaten door, cringing as the rusted hinges screeched in protest. The hall beyond was deserted, the once-glossy floor coated with a thick carpet of dust and the crystal chandelier trapped in a dismal silence of cobwebs and broken dreams. The formerly beautiful home had fallen into a state of sorrowful disrepair, but the Italian's aching heart quickly filled the empty space. He closed his eyes, and for a moment, the hall was warm and bright once more, bustling with the swaying forms of royalty and dignitaries in their extravagant satins and velvets. Music and the smell of a banquet wafted in on the slight breeze ghosting through the house, tempting his senses. Blood pounding in his ears, he opened his eyes only for the ball to fade into the darkness. Feeling eerily alone, he stepped forward into the gloom. The dust kicked up by his worn, leather boots tickled his nose. Feliciano
Optimism Ludwig slouched wearily in his seat, letting the low voices of the others wash over him. His stomach acids were eating away at what was left of his stomach, and the sharp pain made him grimace as he rubbed at dry, bloodshot eyes. Europe was in a state of chaos, and it was only getting worse. To his left, Feliciano sighed heavily. All of his usual cheer seemed to have leaked out of him, leaving behind a weakened, bruised husk of a nation. A gauze-covered gash on his smooth, young brow marked the effects of the Rome riots, and it continued to twinge painfully, reminding him that the matter was far from resolved. "Are you feeling well, Italien?" the German asked, his formal tone masking his concern. "No, Germania, I'm sorry
" Feliciano murmured listlessly. "I feel really sick, but I'll be okay." "Hang tight, Italia," Antonio winked from
Ludwig The small boy drifted in the absolute, unbroken darkness, fear dancing in his pale eyes and throbbing in his chest. Drawing his thin arms around himself, he crouched until his chin rested on his knobby knees. Whispers drifted through the blackness and nipped at unguarded ears, the cool breath of non-existent entities set his skin prickling. He squeezed his eyes shut simply for comfort, hiding his pale face in his arms. "-wig
" A gentle sight broke the silence, bearing with it the fragment of a familiar name. "Ludwig
" Here I am! He wanted to cry out, Please help me! I'm scared
" "H-h
" The words caught in his throat, determined to remain unspoken. Frightened, he groped through the darkness, hoping to find something tangible in this dream-like hell. &
APH:GxI Sickness and HealthItaly woke up confused."What time is it?" He thought. Usually Germany woke him up around 6am. He checked the clock on the bedside table. It said 10am. Italy quickly looked over to see Germany still asleep. Italy had had a nightmare last night and had quietly snuck into Germany's bed. Italy stared at Germany's sleeping face."Germany," Italy whispered, poking the German's cheek, "It's time to wake up. I can make pasta for breakfast if you like." Germany groaned and rolled over."Something's different about Germany." Italy pondered, "Maybe Japan will know what to do." Italy jumped out of bed and headed for the phone to call Japan. He stood there in his pink boxers waiting for Japan to pick up."Moshi moshi?" The little Japanese man picked up the phone after the third ring."Japan! I woke up before Germany!" Italy gushed into the phone."That's great Italy-san." Japan sighed."But I can't wake him up!" Italy started to panic, "He's not himself!""Maybe he's sick." Japan suggested, "Does
Any TallerItaly 172 cmGermany 180 cm"The 8 centimeter barrier is thick..."~"Doitsu, Doitsu~!" The auburn-haired male sung gleefully as he came up behind the larger nation, waving his arms about like a small child would. "Doitsu, come here!"Taking notice of Feliciano, Germany reluctantly made his way over to where he stood. Or rather, where he was bouncing on his heels with anticipation. "What do you want now, Italy?" His tone did not sound as much annoyed as it sounded tired. Spending even a few minutes with the peppy young man always seemed to wear him out. In more ways than one."Can I have another good morning hug?" Italy requested, his curl bouncing with the rhythm of his heels. "I wanna see if I'm any taller than before!""Mein Gott," Germany said to himself, rubbing his temples for a moment. "This nonsense again?" He had only been bothered with this same question for the past three weeks. Italy just could not seem to accept that he would not be able to reach up to
PerfectThere was nothing wrong with him. At least, his grandfather always said so. His beloved fratello would have a million things to say otherwise, but that was just him to randomly throw insults and hide his love for that person. If he asked Japan, he would just turn away and politely offer to make some rice balls, so innocent Feli took that as a no. So if there was really nothing wrong with him, why did he keep worrying about what Germany would think of him?With every trip and slip, Italy would find himself blushing furiously each time Germany came over to help him up. Every time he made pasta, he'd quadruple check that it was absolutely perfect. Whenever he and Germany played football, he tried to catch every ball that flew towards him and ended up ashamed after each ball he failed to catch. Feliciano tried not to think too badly of himself, but he really didn't want Ludwig to think he was weak and useless and leave him behind. So, Italy decided to check himself multiple times in the la
StrangerHe was a stranger.He's a stranger, Feliciano thought as he frowned at the tall blond man, but why do I feel like this? I've never felt this way around, well, anyone before
It was another miserable, rainy day in New York City. Feliciano hated days like this. He preferred the sun, weather like he was used to in his home country, Italy. He didn't particularly like living in this busy city, either. No one stopped to talk to you, like they did in the little village he grew up in, where everyone knew each other, where people would give you a friendly smile and wave as you walked past. New York wasn't like that. People would keep themselves to themselves, and Feliciano quickly learnt that when he would cheerfully wave at passers-by and they would look back at him with sharp glares. He supposed he shouldn't do that at 6AM on a Monday, or at all, for that matter
Feliciano ran as fast as he could along the crowded street. He had overslept and he was going to miss the subway if he di
Germany x Italy - RelaxGermany x Italy - RelaxBlinding sunlight streamed through the crack in the curtains of the grand window that overlooked the lush green countryside. Birds chirped merrily, bringing life to the atmosphere of the morning. Italy groaned as the twittering roused him from his slumber and his eyes fluttered open, the golden tint in his irises shining like the sun. He yawned loudly and turned over to face away from the window; the light was giving him a headache. Actually, even when turned away he had a headache. It was painful. But why? Where had it come from? How could he make it go away? Maybe he needed more sleep? There didn't seem to be anything going on, so perhaps he could get more sleep. He shut his eyes again and snuggled into the warmth of the pillow, inhaling the scent of it. Italy frowned. What was this scent? He sniffed again, trying to remember this familiar scent. It smelt of shampoo and Wurst. He opened his eyes again and sat up, looking down at the pillow. Wait, th
GermanyxItaly - IntoxicatedGermany x Italy - IntoxicatedGermany was once again annoyed to find that he could not concentrate on his work. Normally, he would give his workload his full attention and finish it in quick succession, and then he would concentrate on even more work. He liked being productive; it made him feel useful when he managed to complete his paperwork on time and get praised for it. Lately though, he wasn't being very productive. No, this one thought had been swimming around in his mind for a while, washing away any other thoughts. This thought was Italy. Of course he'd thought of Italy before; he usually wondered such things as whether or not he was safe, and what way was the best way to teach him to tie his laces; but he'd never thought about him this much before, and it was driving him insane. He ended up getting worried out of his mind for Italy's safety, and concerned as to whether Italy would ever tie his laces by himself, thus becoming independent (Though Germany didn't really mind Italy
Never EverThe house was quiet, for once silence was a rare thing in any place inhabited by Feliciano, and it was downright unheard of for it to last for more than four minutes or so. Nevertheless, Ludwig seemed to have worked some kind of magic that even England would have been jealous of, and the usually bubbly Italian hadn't said more than two words in the past half-hour.The only sounds in the room were the tapping of Ludwig's laptop keys, the slow scratch of Feliciano's pen, and the occasional rasp of a mug across the table when one of them took a sip of hot chocolate.They were sat in the kitchen, at either end of the long, scrubbed-wood table, both working on their separate tasks in companionable silence. Ludwig was re-reading the notes from last week's meeting, peering at them through the reading glasses balanced on the end of his nose and copying them into a word document and re-drafting them into a less nonsensical format that he could present to his Boss without feeli

At least they didn't know they were going to die for, the pain of watching those who know their deaths are coming would be worse by a hundred fold.I let my expression remain blank as the screams came, echoing around the whole camp.

Moments -- GerItaGermany's favorite moments were early Sunday mornings. The days (with no work looming on the horizon or meetings to attend) he could lie and watch the sun rise while still savoring the warmth of the bed, letting his fingers run through soft brunet locksa guilty pleasure solely indulged upon while the other was sleeping.Italy's favorites happened to be in the same place but at a different time; rather than early mornings, the brunet enjoyed late evenings. The times right before he would fall asleepwarm and secure in their embraceand (if he was lucky) able to watch the scowls and crinkles smooth from the German's face, taking a secret pride in being the only witness.
Feverish The moment Feliciano opened the door to his friend's house, he knew that something was wrong. The still night had fallen away to reveal a strange pressure that squeezed the breath from his chest, and a vindictive force hung heavily in the air like poisonous gas. With a start, the Italian realized that he hadn't been greeted by any of Ludwig's three dogs. His heart quickened, throbbing almost painfully in his chest. "Germany?" His thin voice wavered in the tense air as he ventured deeper into the house. It was a chilly night, and Feliciano found himself wishing that he'd thought to pull on some pants before leaving home. Frightened by the stubborn silence, the brunet prayed for a lengthy sermon from his friend. Even one of Ludwig's boring lectures would be better than the ominous chill that had settled into his flesh. A raw, hacking cough made him jump, echoing hollowly in the once-silent house. Fe

Aroma is a great start, or finish to a night depending whether you're out at the pubs/clubs or you've caught a movie with the other half.
The buffet is as good as any other but where Aroma really comes in to its own is the teppanyaki. This is where you select your own raw foods and have it cooked right in front of you to a style of your choosing. You can select anything from chicken and steak to squid alongside peppers, onions, bean sprouts etc.
Another nice touch is with the deserts. Rather than offering just jelly and ice cream as a cheap option, Aroma lay on a number of fruits such as pineapple and melons as well as always having two large cakes in the desert section; not strictly keeping with SE Asian cuisine but a nice way to finish your meal anyway!
The service is usually excellent and the decoration/lighting gives a good atmosphere and would never have you believe you're sat next to a cinema, arcade and bowling alley.
This is essentially the only Chinese buffet in Luton. The food here is good for British Chinese food. Some people like it, some people really hate it. You can't go wrong with the egg rolls and the noodles. They also have a wannabe Mongolian bbq. This place can get really crowded especially on weekends. They get really anal about people coming in who aren't going to eat. Also, don't bother coming in towards the closing hour because you'll be eating leftovers.
Been there twice at lunchtime. I found it very good value for money. It was an all you could eat affair, with a hugh selection of food. The also had a very good selection of fresh fruit available.

The grounds crew at St. Johns University is preparing for a capacity crowd that may eclipse 15,000 spectators. Coaches and players at both St. Olaf and St. Johns have been diligently making preparations the entire week. Thousands of football fans across the Upper Midwest have blocked off their Saturday afternoon schedules in anticipation of the Oles most important game of the year, which will get underway at 1 p.m. Saturday at St. Johns Clemens Stadium in Collegeville, Minn.
The winner of Saturday afternoons contest between the 8-0 Johnnies and the 7-0 Oles will be virtually guaranteed at least a share of the MIAC title and a berth in the NCAA Division III Central Regional. This is, for all intents and purposes, a championship game. And it promises to be close.
This will be a four quarter game, said defensive end James Bechdol 06. In most of our games this year, Ive only played three quarters [because the Oles have played in so many blowout victories], but this one will definitely be a four quarter game.
St. Olaf, which defeated the Johnnies 19-17 at Manitou Field last season, has not won back-to-back games against St. Johns since 1984-1985, and the 2005 iteration of St. Johns appears much improved from last years 7-3 version. The Johnnies won against then-undefeated Concordia College two weeks ago and will be a challenge for the Oles.
Here is an in-depth look at how the matchup breaks down.
St. Olafs offense
Quarterback Jason Wilsey 06 is arguably the best in the conference, even one of the best in the country, and both his skills and confidence have been apparent this season. Under Wilseys direction, the Ole offense has led the MIAC in scoring, passing yards, turnovers, pass efficiency, third down conversions and total offense.
Statistically, Wilsey is the single-most productive offensive player in the conference, accounting for over 272 yards per game.
In my four years here as head coach, no one has sacrificed more to make himself and the program better than Wilsey, head coach Chris Meidt said.
St. Olafs receiving corps is both the best and the youngest in the MIAC, boasting four receivers with game-breaking potential. Wide receivers Horace Gant 08, Preston St. John 08, Andrew Schmesing 08 and Jeremy Lund 07 have torched defenses all season long, and running back Jay Higgins 08 has been Wilseys favorite target out of the backfield.
While this group boasts impressive statistics, its greatest strength is arguably its collective speed: Gant runs the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds and Schmesing in 4.4 seconds. Few offenses in Division III possess as many potentially game-breaking offensive threats.
Like the wide receivers, St. Olaf has several talented running backs who share responsibilities in the backfield. Higgins and Bobby Andrade 07 share first-team responsibilities, but Wilsey, Marc Olson 07, Chris Feehan 07 and St. John all deserve credit for St. Olafs prowess on the ground. St. Olafs multi-faceted rushing attack has averaged 235 yards rushing per game (second in the MIAC), and leads the conference with an average of five yards per carry.
Though they have received little credit this season, St. Olafs offensive line is largely responsible for the teams offensive success. Weighing in at an average of 285 pounds per man, the line has consistently cleared the way for the Ole ground attack and provided an impenetrable pocket of protection for Wilsey. The line has permitted only two sacks in seven games, nine better than second-best Concordia; that figure is even more impressive given St. Olafs pass-oriented offense.
Ole offense vs. St. Johns
If St. Olaf is the leviathan of MIAC offenses, St. Johns is their defensive counterpart. St. Olaf leads the conference in most offensive categories, but St. Johns leads the MIAC in scoring defense, passing defense, rushing defense and total defense.
While Wilsey has thrown the fewest interceptions of any MIAC quarterback, St. Johns has intercepted more passes than any other MIAC defense.
St. Olafs offensive line will have to play their best game of the season on Saturday. The Oles must establish both their running and passing games early, and to do so they must win the battle at the line of scrimmage.
Additionally, the Oles must take advantage of opportunities that arise from any Johnnie defense errors. Blown coverages and poor reads must translate into big plays for St. Olaf, which is something the team has done well for much of the season.
While the Johnnies are not the offensive juggernaut that St. Olaf is, they will make some plays on defense. The Oles must weather those shots, play to their strengths and stay disciplined.
St. Olafs defense
The Oles hope that their veteran-laden defense can slow down the Johnnies enough for their offense to take over. The unit, which finished fifth overall in the conference a year ago, currently sits fourth in total yards allowed.
Led by Bechdol, the St. Olaf defensive line has limited its opponents to only 105 rushing yards per game, virtually eliminating the ground threat.
St. Olafs linebackers have proved to be a versatile group, accruing 111.5 tackles among the starters. While that statistic may be a testament to their prowess against the run, they have also intercepted seven passes, proving that they are just as dangerous (or effective) in coverage. Team captain John Davis 06 has played particularly well, earning 29 tackles, four interceptions, two fumble recoveries and two defensive touchdowns.
Throughout this season, opponents have appeared hesitant to test the Ole secondary, and with good reason: Ole defensive backs have proved adept at shutting down the passing game, intercepting six passes and has defending 26 passes on the season.
The secondary has really come along, Meidt said. Matt Dean [06] has played well; Pete St. Lawerence has really improved his play at safety as well. And Deonte [Hutchins 08] is a great cover corner.
Ole Defense vs. St. Johns
The Oles have gang tackled well this year, and they cant afford to ease up against the Johnnies. St. Johns boasts a big-play running back in Corey Weber (who has scored 13 touchdowns this season) and relies heavily upon its running game to move the ball. Physical play on the line and strong tackling by Ole linebackers should help to counter this threat.
Defensively, our plan is to play our fast, aggressive style and to rely on our athleticism to create turnovers, St. Lawerence said.
St. Johns also throws the deep pass frequently, which has proved to be extremely effective for them. The Johnnies will undoubtedly test St. Olafs secondary early and often, and the Oles will depend heavily on Dean and company to repel the air attack. If they are successful in this effort, it will be a good day for interceptions. The Ole defense must play with confidence and remain physical throughout the entire game.
The Bottom Line
Many MIAC observers and fans have picked St. Johns to win, citing home field advantage, dominating defensive play and the teams storied championship tradition.
However, those prognosticators neglect several important facts. St. Olafs high-powered offense has been tested by tough defenses numerous times this season and has still piled up impressive numbers. Meidt is one of the finest offensive minds in the MIAC, if not in Division III football, and his inventive schemes should give the Johnnie defense fits.
Additionally, St. Olaf has the speed to run with St. Johns, which will be a key factor on the artificial turf of Clemens Stadium.
Saturdays much-anticipated contest should be a close game, as both teams appear evenly matched. Having the home field advantage will give St. Johns a leg up, but fans shouldnt bet against St. Olaf on game day.
The bottom line: My money is on St. Olaf to capture their first MIAC crown since 1979.

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Pierria Henry scored 20 points as the Charlotte 49ers defeated the La Salle Explorers 74-65 in the Atlantic 10 Conference opener for both schools at Halton Arena.
Henry was 7-of-12 from the field for the 49ers (13-2, 1-0 A-10), who have won two in a row and four of their last five. The other three Charlotte players to score in double-figures were Victor E. Nickerson (13 points, seven rebounds, four assists), Darion Clark (12 points, six rebounds), and DeMario Mayfield (10 points, six rebounds).
Ramon Galloway posted 23 points and nine rebounds on a poor 7-of-29 shooting performance for the Explorers (10-4, 0-1), who have lost two of their last three. Tyreek Duren contributed 12 points, five assists, and three steals while Jerrell Wright just missed a double-double with 11 points and nine rebounds.
Charlotte led 33-17 at halftime after holding La Salle to just 21.9 percent shooting from the field in the first period.
The Explorers outscored the 49ers, 48-41, in the second half despite allowing the hosts to shoot 50.0 percent from the floor and convert 17-of-21 at the charity stripe.
Charlotte's bench stepped up and contributed 35 points in the win while La Salle's reserves managed to produce only nine points.

Gives us something to think about until the next chapter, non?
A magical being who is a year younger than harry that he has met previously. hmmm.
Or is it a magical being he's met before that's an adult?
Lovely chapter. Can't wait for more!
Thank you!

Looking forward to more.

Now, you have to update soon! I mean! Come on! Who is it?
My first thought was that it was Luna (a year younger, so she is in the right age frame, and when you spoke about Nymphs, I immediately thought about Luna! I can really see her as part or full Nymph!)
On the other hand, she is certainly not the LAST one Harry would expect... Snape?

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) -- For areas of the Delta in Mississippi, farming is a way of life.
Many black farmers say they've endured more than a century of discrimination from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The National Black Farmers Association has spoken out in recent years saying black farmers received unfair treatment in regards to receiving loans from the federal government.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure on Tuesday to approve a $1.2 billion settlement to go to black farmers across much of the southeastern United States.
Former USDA Secretary and former U.S. Congressman, Mike Espy says the reality is that many had no choice, but to go out of business.
"We would rather have those farmers in business, we would rather have them producing," Espy said. "We would rather have them increasing their agriculture bounty of Mississippi."
Espy has represented some of these farmers involved in the settlement, and says the discrimination was presented when black farmers were denied loans.
"Many black farmers did not receive their approval on their loan application because of their race," Espy said.
This measure passed by Congress is the second settlement of more than a billion dollars given to black farmers across the south.
The USDA has not admitted they were wrong.
In a statement, current USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack said:
"President Obama and I made a firm commitment not only to treat all farmers fairly and equally, but to right the wrongs in USDA's past. I applaud those who took this historic step to ensure black farmers who faced discrimination by their government finally receive justice."
Espy says these farmers will receive around $50 thousand each to compensate for their loss.
Though he says it won't put some of them back in business, but he says it's a step in the right direction for the government to admit they were wrong.
"It does offer a bit of a symbol of justice from the federal government which has accepted responsibility for this discrimination."
As part of the settlement, American Indians claimed the Interior Department did not provide resources such as gas and timber over many years.
Congress approved $3.4 billion for this portion of the lawsuit.

Anetta Kahane: European States are Multicultural Places Within the World
The following is from a Russia Today video interview of Anetta Kahane.
Update: I've moved the video further down this page, below what shows on the main page, because it autoplays.
@2:04 :
Interviewer: Indeed sociologists have said that something like three and a half million Turks in Germany actually regard Turkey as their homeland which leads many to think that the Turks are there simply to enjoy the social benefits, to take something away from German society, and not put anything back, and simply not integrate.
@3:41 :
Interviewer: There you are in Germany. Isn't the situation there indicative of the rest of the European continent where we're actually seeing the EU expanding more and more? How do you now see the future issue of immigration developing now across the whole of the European continent based on what you're seeing there in Germany?
Anetta Kahane: This is a very good point because immigration is the future. You cannot work and live in a globalised world, in the middle of the world, in Europe, without immigration and moving populations. So, you have to really make a good policy of immigration all over Europe. And we see the history of Europe with its long history of nationalism and small countries is now getting into a crisis. We need a long time to make it better, but you have to confront this. You have to really change the policy of immigration inside Europe. This is very important. You have to make adopt the educational system and adopt all the self understanding of the states. They are not anymore only white, or only Swedish, or only Portuguese, or only German. They are multicultural places in the world.
Anetta Kahane is a Jewish activist and citizen of Germany.

The Rise Of Anti-Western Christianity
The Rise Of Anti-Western Christianity
By Matthew Roberts, Quarterly Review
During Pope Benedict XVI's trip to London this September, Cardinal Walter Kasper noted two things about London: it's secular and parts of it resemble a Third World country. While the politically correct were quick to condemn Kasper and the Vatican was even quicker to exhibit its pro-Third World, anti-racism bona fides, Kasper's two statements taken together are noteworthy in that they demonstrate two antagonistic aspects of the modern world. The First World is secular; the Third World is religious.
How can London be both? What happens when you mix First World secularism and Third World religion? In particular, what happens when you import the Third World to the First – as in London? Often, the Third World tries to convert the First, regardless if the evangelizers are Christian or Muslim. While Westerns may be more shocked by Third World Muslims because they expect them to be different, they often are more disoriented by Third World Christians because they are so different from what they expect. The Christianity that the Third World brings to the West is unlike anything ever seen before – just as alien as Islam.
Manufacturing's Dismal Decade
Manufacturing's Dismal Decade
By Patrick J. Buchanan
Last year, Barack Obama committed his administration to doubling U.S. exports in half a decade.
The good news: He is on the way. U.S. exports of goods and services grew in 2010 by 16.6 percent.
Bad news: U.S. imports, starting from a higher base, surged by 19.7 percent.
Result: The U.S. trade deficit in 2010 worsened by 33 percent, rising from $375 billion to $498 billion, the largest percentage increase in a decade. If Obama keeps this up, he may prove as big a disaster for U.S. manufacturing as his predecessor, although these are big shoes to fill.
As he has each February for years, Charles W. McMillion of MBG Information Services has compiled the stats on the industrial decline of his country under our free trade presidents. Here are but a few numbers for the decade from December 2000, the month before George W. Bush took the oath, to December 2010, the end of Obama's second year.
In that decade, America ran a total of $6.1 trillion in trade deficits, more than our entire economic growth. To finance those 10 years of deficits, America had to borrow $1.553 billion every day.
And we wonder why China owns America.
Why Conservatives Should Oppose KORUS Part II: States' Rights
This series is a work-in-progress. Your feedback would be appreciated.
That group of conservatives often identified as paleoconservatives are usually characterized by three issues on which they differ from "regular" (i.e. movement) conservatives. They are non-interventionist on foreign policy, they were immigration restrictionists before immigration restriction was cool, and they are skeptical of free trade. (There is more to paleoconservatism than these three issues, but this should suffice for the sake of this discussion.)
One curious exception to this categorization has often been Southern conservatives. (When I say Southern conservatives I don't just mean conservatives who happen to be from the South although obviously there is some overlap. I mean those conservatives who consciously come at their conservatism from a uniquely Southern perspective.) Southern conservatives have generally been regarded as a subset of paleoconservatives, but many Southern conservatives have been more reluctant than their other paleo peers to embrace "protectionism" and "protective" tariffs (as opposed to a revenue tariff). (I use quotation marks around protectionism, not because I don't think it is a real thing, but because I don't think both sides necessarily agree about what the word means.)
There is a clear historical reason for this. Southern conservatives have naturally become well versed in defending the Southern cause in the War Between the States, and one of those causes was opposition to a high protective tariff, which was rightly seen as intended to benefit one section of the country, Northern merchants, at the expense of another, Southern agrarians. So Southern conservatives have been slower to embrace protectionist tariffs that they view as intended to benefit some (industry primarily) arguably at the expense of others.
Of course there are exceptions to this. The average man on the street conservative in the South may be just as likely or more to be skeptical of free trade, than his man on the street conservative Northern counterpart. I am speaking here primarily of an identifiable subset of Southern conservative thinkers who would otherwise be easily characterized as paleocons. This reluctance to whole heartedly endorse protectionist trade measures among historically attuned Southern conservatives is evident in the blogosphere and paleo commentariate.
And this is not just because Southern conservatives have to a greater degree adopted laissez-faire free market ideology. On the contrary, Southern conservatives (and paleocons in general) are more likely to recognize the importance of an economics (and politics) of the human scale and to be skeptical of economic reductionism and "economic man" thinking. I believe what is more at work here, besides historical sensibilities, is a skepticism toward nationalism in all its manifestations (and protectionism is often couched as economic nationalism) and a healthy skepticism that the Feds could create a rational and fair (unbeholden to powerful lobbies) economic nationalist agenda even if it were deemed desirable and constitutional. (While no conservative would doubt the constitutionality of tariffs per se, the "industrial policy" that often accompanies an economic nationalist agenda could be viewed as constitutionally suspect depending on what exactly is being proposed.)
I will leave this debate to the various partisans. My point with this essay is to point out that Southern conservatives who might otherwise be reluctant to embrace "protectionism," should recognize the danger of the proposed KORUS FTA to another issue that is near and dear to their hearts, states' rights. A vote on KORUS is imminent. Obama could drop it in the hopper any time he thinks would best facilitate its passage. It is time to put pointy headed discussions like the one above aside for a later day, and work to stop the KORUS broadside to US sovereignty and states' rights.
According to Americans for Free and Fair Trade, KORUS "using language almost lifted from NAFTA … obligates the federal government to force U.S. states to conform state laws to every single provision in the 1000-page agreement – whether directly related to trade or not." Furthermore, "Korean and other multi-national corporations could take any dispute with federal or state laws, regulations, or rules to the World Court or United Nations. Federal or state courts would have no authority over the companies." (emphasis mine)
A person might not like all the rules and regulations individual states may impose on businesses in their state. In fact, conservative minded folks probably don't. But those rules and regulations are a matter that is properly addressed by the people of the state and their representatives and state and federal courts if necessary. To allow foreign corporations to challenge state laws before foreign tribunals is an intolerable outrage. No self respecting Southern conservative or any other patriotic conservative should stand for this.
It is time for the various partisans in the academic free trade vs. fair trade debate to put their differences aside while we stop this KORUS outrage before it is too late. Once we have done that, then we can reengage this always entertaining debate, a debate to which Southern conservatives bring a unique and historically informed perspective.
Nationalism in Israel and the West
This categorization, by Ellison Lodge, may be a little unfair to Buchanan and perhaps a little too generous to Michael Savage, but it succinctly captures the mixed positions on nationalism in Israel and the West:
If one were to try to sort out views on nationalism in Israel and the West, it could be neatly split into four categories:
1) Those who support ethno-politics for Israel but not for Europeans and the West. (neoliberals and neoconservatives like Abe Foxman, Alan Dershowitz, Bill Kristol et al.)
2) Those who oppose ethno-politics for Israel and the West (Noam Chomsky, Max Blumenthal et al.) [and politically correct libertarians]
3) Those who support ethno-politics in the West and in Israel (Lawrence Auster, Diana West, Michael Savage)
4) Those who oppose ethno-politics for Israel but support it for the West (Pat Buchanan, Kevin MacDonald)
Like the author, I would include myself in category #3. I have no problem with Israel promoting ethno-nationalist policies or taking a hardline stance on immigration (these are things any sane nation should do), but I think Israel should have to do these things on its own dime, and we don't need overseas partisans of Israel (e.g. Bill Kristol or Joseph Lieberman) trying to prevent Western nations from pursuing much-needed immigration enforcement and reduction. That said, unlike Larry Auster, I don't think one's position on Israel should be the deciding factor in assessing his political views. Frankly, I don't care whether another Westerner is pro- or anti-Israel; I do, however, care whether he's pro-Western. Lodge says it best:
The idea that the fate of European or American Civilization is somehow tied up in Israel, as Geert Wilders & Co. often claim, has absolutely no basis in reality; the same goes for the ahistorical, made-up term "Judeo-Christian tradition."

Wisconsin Protestors & Tea Party Protestors Are Two Sides of Same Coin
Although the MSM want to cast the Wisconsin protestors and the tea-party protestors as archenemies, the two groups probably have more in common than they realize. Demographically, they are nearly identical. Richard Spencer, in the best article I've read summarizing recent protests, writes:
Both the Tea Party and the Wisconsin phenomena represent genuine, grassroots protest movements of Whites caught somewhere between the stages of denial, anger, and bargaining in mourning the death of their "American Dream."
Unlike the violent mau-mauing in Chicago's South Side, the labor unionists and partisans have demonstrated in a noticeably polite fashion; much like the Tea Party, they've made clever signs, dressed up in colourful costumes, congregated at democratic institutions, and only demanded that the government be reasonable and fair.
More important, whatever Obama's rhetoric, the Power Elite he represents has effectively abandoned the Baby Boom-and-under Whites marching on Madison.
A teacher's union meeting in Madison, Wisconsin, has the demographics of a screening of The English Patient. And however they might disagree on hot-button issues, the Tea Party and the Wisconsinites are essentially the same people.
Boiled down to their essences, the Tea Party represents White, middle-class private-sector workers who are beginning to realize that their future is being taken away from them; the Wisconsinites represent White, middle-class public-sector workers who are beginning to realize that their future is being taken away from them.
Might these two groups notice that they have a lot in common?
The Battle of Five Armies
The following is from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. I present it as an allegory for the West uniting in the West's common defence, though uniting as allies not as empire.
Suddenly without a signal they sprang silently forward to attack. Bows twanged and arrows whistled; battle was about to be joined.
Still more suddenly a darkness came on with dreadful swiftness! A black cloud hurried over the sky. Winter thunder on a wild wind rolled roaring up and rumbled in the Mountain, and lightning lit its peak. And beneath the thunder another blackness could be seen whirling forward; but it did not come with the wind, it came from the North, like a vast cloud of birds, so dense that no light could be seen between their wings.
"Halt!" cried Gandalf, who appeared suddenly, and stood alone, with arms uplifted, between the advancing dwarves and the ranks awaiting them. "Halt!" he called in a voice like thunder, and his staff blazed forth with a flash like the lightning. "Dread has come upon you all! Alas! it has come more swiftly than I guessed. The Goblins are upon you! Bolg of the North is coming, O Dain! whose father you slew in Moria. Behold! the bats are above his army like a sea of locusts. They ride upon wolves and Wargs are in their train!"

Walter Russell Mead on a "Paulite" Foreign Policy
I like WRM's Jacksonian, Wilsonian etc. categorization of schools of foreign policy thought, but he is otherwise a fount of conventional wisdom. Here he discusses the Palinite vs. Paulite foreign policy divide within the Tea Party movement.
The first is that the contest in the Tea Party between what might be called its Palinite and its Paulite wings will likely end in a victory for the Palinites. The Palinite wing of the Tea Party (after Sarah Palin) wants a vigorous, proactive approach to the problem of terrorism in the Middle East, one that rests on a close alliance between the United States and Israel. The Paulite wing (Rand Paul) would rather distance the United States from Israel as part of a general reduction of the United States' profile in a part of the world from which little good can be expected.
The Paulites are likely to lose this contest because the commonsense reasoning of the American people now generally takes as axiomatic that security at home cannot be protected without substantial engagement overseas.
I do think he explains the Paulite side fairly if only briefly, but beyond that the whole essay drips with elitist condescension toward the attitudes of us common folks that he is supposedly trying to explain. It's like he is deliberately trying to prove Codevilla's "Ruling Class" thesis. "Oh there go those populist common folks getting uppity again."
He may be right that the Palinites will eventually triumph over the Paulites, but it is not because "commonsense reasoning" dictates "substantial engagement overseas." (Is "substantial engagement overseas" necessary for the security of Switzerland? Do the Swiss lack commonsense?) Many Americans take for granted overseas engagement because it is all they know, and it has been drilled into their heads by both the liberal/moderate internationalist consensus and the interventionist "right." Until recently there has been almost no voice for non-interventionism to compete for their loyalty.
The problem that the non-interventionists are going to have is that the constituency for non-interventionism is entirely idea based. There are no vested interests in non-interventionism except maybe people who would like to use the defense budget for some other purpose. Deficit hawkishness is more an idea than a vested interest. But there is a huge vested interest in maintaining the current defense/foreign policy status quo. I live just north of a military base town that would be utterly devastated if we were spending what we ought to be on defense, which is a mere fraction of what we do. Not just active duty military members, but civilian personnel, contractors, defense industry workers, etc. Do you think those people want a non-interventionist foreign policy and serious cut backs in national defense spending?
Daniel Larison makes the same point here. (I had considered this dynamic before Larison mentioned it, I swear.)
George Washington's birthday
"First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, he was second to none in the humble and endearing scenes of private life."
Eulogy to George Washington by "Light Horse" Harry Lee, father of Robert E. Lee.
George Washington allowed us to question him on modern-day issues:
Mr. President, should the US borrow money from China to give to Israel?
"The nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest." Farewell Address
Should the United States pursue an interventionist, aggressive foreign policy?
"The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible." Farewell Address
Do you think the Pentagon should be continued, expanded, or dismantled?
"Hence, likewise, they will avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty." Farewell Address
Finally, sir, do you believe the Union is a permanent government, or do its members have the right to withdraw if they see fit?
"It is well worth a fair and full experiment." Farewell Address
Flooding the U.S. with more foreign workers and illegal Indians
Here we are in one of the worst depressions in American history, and Sen. Orrin Hatch tells Obama to flood the U.S. with even more foreign workers. Great!
Unfortunately, in the MSM the fallout of H1Bs is rarely discussed, such as the displacement of American workers, the driving down the wages of American workers, the inferior work product of H1Bs, the chain migration resulting from H1Bs, and the illegal immigration resulting from work visas. Regarding the last point, it recently has been estimated that over 10% of all Indians now in the U.S. are here illegally — a fact that the anti-Western Indian Lobby will surely try to gloss over. From Economic Times of India:
WASHINGTON: Indians in the US are not only the fastest growing Asian community, but also have the dubious distinction of being fastest-growing group of illegal immigrants in the country. According to the American Community Survey of the US Census Bureau, the Asian Indian population in the US grew from almost 1,679,000 in 2000 to 2,570,000 in 2007. With a growth rate of 53 percent the highest for any Asian American community, and among the fastest growing ethnic groups in the US, Indian Americans are the third largest Asian American ethnic group, after Chinese Americans and Filipinos.
When it comes to illegal immigration, Hispanic illegal immigrants largely outnumber other undocumented immigrants. Mexicans make up nearly 7 million of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants. The next largest group of Hispanics are Salvadorans and Guatemalans. But Indians are the fastest-growing group of illegal immigrants in the US, according to US Department of Homeland Security report.
Can we borrow some optimism from the Chinese, too?
My first Ether Zone article looks at DC's runaway debt, trade deficit, and multiculturalism as symptoms of the same disease — loss of American identity.
Apocalypse Wisconsin
My being from Wisconsin, I suppose you all want to learn my view of the current situation.
In a sense I'm torn by one staunchly anti-union grandfather and the other who was a state employee when the first public employee unions were created in Wisconsin. I could agree with most of what Gov. Walker wants. I have no problem making the union re-certify every year, or every two years, and I don't think the state should be in the business of holding union dues or making state government a closed shop.
However the deal-breaker for me is the ending of collective bargaining, which essentially busts the union altogether. Without collective bargaining, what's even the point of a union? Let's be clear; this is a union-busting bill. Unions are needed as a check on corporate power, because if you're someone who gets money or derives power from others, chances are you're going to screw people. Not that everyone would do this, but the temptation is ever present – many will succumb. If not a corporation, look at government itself for the same example.

The solution in Afghanistan: Get out
Walter Jones, a paleoconservative
Democrat Republican, has co-authored this appeal to end the insane war in Afghanistan. In the name of spreading democracy to the Afghans, whether they want it or not, American taxpayers are propping up one of the most repressive and corrupt regimes on the planet at a projected total cost of $6 trillion dollars.
Then there's the human cost:
At 112 months, this is the longest war in our history. More than 1,400 American service members have lost their lives in Afghanistan; over 8,800 have been wounded in action. Tens of thousands have suffered other disabilities or psychological harm. The Pentagon reported in November that suicide rates are soaring among veterans; the backlog at the Department of Veterans Affairs had reached more than 700,000 disability cases, according to NPR, including post-traumatic stress disorder.
To get an idea of what American troops face in Afghanistan, check out this video. Warning: It's not for the squeamish, nor for those who imagine war to be a glamorous adventure. No wonder the suicide rate is climbing in the armed forces.
Of course, Lockheed Martin and the other war profiteers will whine that Jones wants to ruin their cash flow. And who's going to provide campaign contributions to all those manly, patriotic politicians who always vote for war?
Instructional Video for Dr. Douglas: How Real Men Respond to Perceived Threats
Attention Dr. Douglas: Since you obviously missed this lesson of Being a Dude 101, here is a short instructional video on how real men respond to perceived threats. Pay particular attention starting around 1:30.
Donald Douglas vs. Alex Knepper (This has to be Read to be Believed)
Two of our favorite interventionist pseudocons who we love to poke fun at here are now engaged in a battle royal. Proving, I guess, that being an alarmist, fear mongering, belligerent interventionist alone is not always enough to ensure that two people will get along.
Briefly, Dr. Douglas ran into Knepper at the CPAC Blogger's Row, and they had a confrontation. Apparently they have some history. So Knepper contacted the school where Dr. Douglas is employed and complained. Dr. Douglas responded with all sorts of hyperbolic language about how Knepper is a "threat" to him and the campus, whaa, whaa, whaaaaa….
You have got to be kidding me. Both of these guys come off looking like total buffoons. (Which is good for our side and good for a laugh as well.) First, Knepper is a big ol' rat for running to Dr. Douglas' boss and tattling like a little girl. If he has an issue with Dr. D. he should take it up with Dr. D. and leave his employer out of it. Second, Dr. D.'s hyperbolic response is beyond pathetic. "The big ol' meanie Alex Knepper might hurt me! He is a threat to me and the campus! The authorities have been notified!" What?! (I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the kind of mentality that thinks far off backwards Muslim nations are going to invade us unless we bomb them first, also thinks a 3000 miles away Alex Knepper represents a threat to him and his school.)
Good grief Dr. D. Take off your skirt. Let me instruct you in how people with two testicles respond to a perceived "threat" from the likes of Alex Knepper. "Bring it on if you think you're man enough. My address is 123 ABC Rd, College Town, CA and my phone number is 555-1234. Any time you're ready big boy. You name the time and place." And if you want to spice it up with a little more bravado, you might throw in an "And I'll pay for your damn plane ticket."
You see Dr. D, the trick here is to not give the impression that you are the slightest bit intimidated, and in fact that you relish the opportunity to demonstrate your superior manhood on top of the other guys head. You may actually be intimidated, but to let on that you are intimidated is to lose before the confrontation begins. This should be basic Being a Dude 101, so I guess you must have missed that lesson.
May I suggest that you take down those whiny, pathetic cry-baby e-mails before they cause you any more embarrassment and loss of your man street cred.
Ugh! A tattle-tell and a fraidy cat. Are all interventionists such chics?
Jean Raspail Speaks of "Big Other"
Jean Raspail, author of Camp of the Saints (pdf), is interviewed (from GalliaWatch):
On February 3, 2011, Jean Raspail, author of The Camp of the Saints was interviewed by Frédéric Taddeï on France 3 Television. The interview was recorded on two YouTube videos of about fifteen minutes each. The Camp of the Saints has been re-issued with a new preface : "Big Other", a pun on "Big Brother", and an obvious reference to the massive immigration of the past thirty years.
The videos, posted at François Desouche, are too long to translate, but here are a few highlights from the first half:
Jean Raspail:
In truth The Camp of the Saints is a parable, written in 1972, published in 1973 about a million people from the Third World. They're weak, they're unarmed, women and children, they're poor, and they come in search of paradise. But, there's a million of them, they land on the Riviera, and behind them there are other flotillas with more millions ready to land according to whether or not France's response is positive or negative. The problem of The Camp of the Saints is very simple – there is unity of time, place, and action. Everything happens in twenty-four hours. What happens is they have a shipwreck, a million of them, unarmed, weak, they inspire sympathy, pity. But a million… and if the response is positive, there are a million more waiting. What do we do? That's the question posed by The Camp of the Saints.

- Just for Fun: Which Wines Pair Best with Southwest Spice
The American Southwest is rich in art, architecture, food, wine and culture. We will base ourselves in Santa Fe, situated between the surrounding Jémez and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The city's stark and dramatic scenery and its striking Southwestern light have made it a magnet for artists and photographers over more than a century. On our weeklong adventure we will visit important museums, enjoy unique cuisine, visit special exhibits, and examine examples of local architecture both in Santa Fe and Taos.
Having recently celebrated its 400th "birthday," Santa Fe claims to be the oldest historic capital in the United States and the country's second oldest city. By 1610, it was established as the capital of the Spanish "Kingdom of New Mexico" and officially named "La Villa Real de Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asis" (the Royal City of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi). Extensive historic preservation efforts have retained Santa Fe's distinctive character into the 21st century.
We'll start with a walking tour of Santa Fe's historic Old Town. Throughout the week we'll take guided tours of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, the New Mexico Museum of Art, and the Museum of International Folk Art, allowing us to compare and contrast the varying art styles. We'll also make two excursions via private motor coach, one to Taos, a pueblo that has been continuously inhabited for over 1,000 years, and one to the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio. Along the stunning road to Taos, we will drive along The Rio Grande and make stops at the bridge at The Rio Grande Gorge and at the 1815 Saint Francis of Assisi Church in the village of Rancho de Taos, possibly the most painted, drawn, and photographed church in the United States.
In between we will learn about – and sample! – a variety of cuisines, but primarily those we associate with the American Southwest. And, we will learn about – and sample! – wines, some from relatively nearby in southern California, others from around the globe, and learn about food and wine pairings.
Program Leader
Peter Abrahamson is the General Manager for Bon Appétit Management Company at St. Olaf College. He started as Executive Chef and has been working at the College for 10 years. Peter was an apprentice for the United States Culinary Team in Frankfurt Germany in 1988. He has worked in many different kitchens in Florida and Minnesota including Roy's, The Capital Grille, Bellanote, South Seas Plantation, and Sundial Beach Resort. His goal — whether as a chef or manager — has always been to use the best quality local ingredients and cook them correctly to highlight them. He is a Minnesota native and lives in West St. Paul with his beautiful wife, Jen, and his 10 year old son Owen.
What to Expect
Accommodations will be at the Inn and Spa at Loretto, a 4 diamond property, in Old Town Santa Fe, located just a block off the famous Santa Fe Historic Plaza. The weather should be mild during our time in the Southwest. Average highs in February will be about 50, and the average low will be about 22.
The itinerary includes a great deal of walking. To fully participate in this program, you should be capable of walking a minimum of one mile at a time over possibly uneven terrain (especially at Taos Pueblo) and of traveling with a group for several hours each day. Most days, we will depart the hotel between 8 and 9 a.m. and do our group visits throughout the morning. Occasionally we will have lunch together, more often not. Sometimes we will continue touring after lunch; on other days there will be some free time. Some days will have several hours of free time; others will have very little or none at all.
Program Fee
The program fee is $2,950 per person. Based on double occupancy, it includes discussions led by Peter Abrahamson, expert guiding by Art Excursions, Inc., accommodations, breakfast daily and group meals as listed on the itinerary, admissions for group activities, ground transportation (except for airport transfers) and gratuities to group guides, drivers, and meal servers. Add $480 for single occupancy.
Transportation to and from Santa Fe is not included. Participants are solely responsible for all expenses not specifically included in the program fee. Examples of excluded expenses include: domestic airfare or mileage between your home town and Santa Fe • airport transfers • accident / baggage / trip cancellation insurance • beverages, including at group meals • laundry • dry cleaning • phone charges • room service or other items of a personal nature • expenses incurred during free time or non-group activities • lunch and dinner, unless specifically included on program itinerary.
If you plan to fly and would like assistance with flight arrangements, may we recommend Noreen Deiss of Travel Leaders/Suntime Travel. She can be reached at 651-429-0039 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
We recommend you not purchase non-refundable airfare until we can confirm the program has enough participants to go. The Go/No-Go decision date is Oct. 15, 2014. A minimum of 12 participants are needed for this program to go.

TEAMS: Washington Capitals, Tampa Bay Lightning
Photo by Brian Blanco Don't panic. The Washington Capitals lost their opening game of the 2013 season on Saturday night, conceding three power play goals en route to a 6-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. With a new coach, a new system, and a lockout hanging over their heads, the Caps were terrible in their own zone and suffered the consequences of such sloppy play. Joel Ward scored twice and Wojtek Wolski was on the mark for DC while Braden Holtby mde 26 saves in net. With 47 games left and two days of practice before their next game, the Caps have some time to get things sorted out, but must get the ship back on track soon or they will be put into a pressure cooker. Given two early power plays in the first five minutes of the period, the Capitals were unable to capitalize despite some good pressure during both two-minute advantages. Washington paid for their transgression quickly, as Eric Brewer opened the scoring on Tampa's first shot at the 6:24 mark. The Caps tied...
