Arizona Immigration Law, Cont.
No matter what you think of the question of illegal immigration, there's no denying that the Arizona immigration law will have a huge impact on legal resident Latino immigrants, naturalized citizens and even U.S. born Latino citizens (and, although the focus has been on Latinos, the same would go for Asian-Americans as well). In fact, U.S. born citizens and naturalized citizens are likely to feel the brunt of it most directly, because of two interlocking factors: (1) they possess the phenotype and accents that police will inevitably rely on in identifying illegal immigrants and (2) since they are actually citizens, and therefore secure in their presence here, they are not in the habit of carrying around papers that would prove their citizenship.This is what defenders of the Arizona law, who say that it is just an attempt to deal with illegal immigration by enforcing the law do not seem to understand. The burden of this enforcement is not just going to fall on illegal immigrants. Besides the actual illegal immigrants whose apprehension it will facilitate, the design of the law means that the burden it creates will fall exclusively on Latinos who are lawfully present in the United States. This is exactly how the law differs from a law that, say, would require everyone to prove his or her lawful immigration status in certain contexts (e.g., as when we are required to show our SS card when we begin new employment).And a recent episode confirms the fear that the law is designed specifically to maximize the zone in which these intrusive police interactions will occur. An email from Kris Korbach, a UMKC law professor who has been instrumental in shaping and defending the language of the Arizona law, confirms this. When lawmakers recently tinkered with the statute's language, ostensibly to limit the circumstances under which law enforcement would be required to demand papers, he sent an email to Russell Pearce, an Arizona State Senator involved in drafting the new language, asking him to be sure to do it in ways that would continue to give police officers the ability to selectively target certain groups (e.g., those who have cars on blocks in the their front yards and those living with lots of people in a single apartment) for immigration inquiries by making violation of local ordinances one of the contexts in which police would be obligated to ask for proof of immigration status when they developed a reasonable suspicion that someone was here illegally:
When we drop out "lawful contact" and replace it with "a stop, detention, or rest, in the enforcement a violation of any title or section of the Arizona code" we need to add "or any county or municipal ordinance." This will allow police to use violations of property codes (ie, cars on blocks in the yard) or rental codes (too many occupants of a rental accommodation) to initiate queries as well.
Korbach's email suggests that the point of the law is not just to empower the police to question the immigration status of people they happen to encounter in the course of their normal law-enforcement duties. That would be intrusive enough from the perspective of lawfully resident Latinos who find themselves in a situation of always being on the hook to prove their status. As Korbach's email makes clear, however, the goal is much more ambitious: to give local law enforcement the mandate -- and then use the other provisions of the law to pressure them to make use of it -- to affirmatively target certain populations for intrusive immigration inquiries.Interestingly, the very same group of people promoting the Arizona immigration law are generally (1) eager to avoid government intrusions on their "liberty" (e.g., the Real ID Act) and (2), as Frank Rich pointed out in his column this past Sunday, not satisfied by President Obama's own proof of his U.S. birth, notwithstanding his Hawaiian birth certificate. Why is that? Given the racially tinged rhetoric of the current immigration discussion in some quarters, you could forgive Latinos for thinking that this law might have to do with a bit more than just enforcing immigration laws and might, in fact, be tied up with larger racial and cultural anxieties animating certain segments of the American Right. (And, it should go without saying that if Obama's birth certificate is not evidence for these people that he is a natural born US citizen, heaven help the rest of us.)In light of all of this, this WSJ article, discussing the growing dissatisfaction with the GOP among conservative Latinos should come as no surprise. Here's the essence of it (but go read the whole thing):
Conservative Hispanic voters, in particular, say they feel betrayed by Republican Party leaders who have supported the law. .... "When the Arizona law was passed, it quickly became the single most important issue to all Latinos in Arizona and nationwide," said Matt Barreto, a political science professor at the University of Washington who studies Latino voting patterns. "Either party that pushes the issue too hard risks moving centrist voters in the other direction," said Dan Schnur, a former Republican strategist and director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at the University of Southern California. Massey Villarreal, a Houston businessman and past national chairman of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly, an independent group with chapters nationwide, said, "It's insulting to have Republican leaders across the country applauding this racist law. I'm sure this is going to hurt the Republican Party."
This law is quickly becoming a litmus test for Latinos of all political stripes. So far, the GOP is failing it.

Oh, the Republicans are bad! What a refreshing conclusion. I'm so glad that Catholics are able to offer such a bold witness! This will be sure to shake up the, oh there must be some Commonweal readers, who are not already convinced of the feclessness of the GOP.Let me know when you guys are interested in solutions instead of just taking shots are Republicans.
George Will was insisting that it had been the law for decades that non-citizen immigrants had to carry their papers on them at all times, completely missing the point that citizens will also have to carry their papers, since if they are suspected of being illegals and can't prove it on the spot, they get arrested.
Every preacher in the country should be asked his opinion on this and let him say it loud and clear. Tell me how in any way one can call herself a Christian supporting a law such as the Arizonal law.
So long as we don't find it a violation of civil rights to have to carry a driver's license or SS card for certain purposes, I really don't see why carrying proof of citizenship is such a big deal. My wallet is already too crammed with stuff, but if we had foreign drug rings threatening the peace severely here I'd be glad to carry such papers to help eliminate them.If carrying an extra piece of paper is all there is to it, I would expect Latinos not to object to what is essentially an inconvenience. But they object vociferously, so I wonder what the real problem is. I suspect that those who say it is just a way of allowing racist cops to harass and arrest "them" are right. If so, the racist police are the problem, not the papers or any intrinsic threat to civil liberty.Anyway, I expect it will be a simple matter for the bad guys to buy forged birth certificates, so the whole thing sounds pretty unenforceable to me.
I know, why not have everyone implanted with an electronic ID chip in their right hand! You know who would be the first to object to this solution -- and yet they might be the ones who are making it necessary in the future!
Ann,Not everyone has a driver's license or a Social Security card. What about children?
Bill Mazzella, et al: what in particular about this law do you find problematic, and why can't one be a Christian and support it?
If carrying an extra piece of paper is all there is to it, I would expect Latinos not to object to what is essentially an inconvenience. But they object vociferously, so I wonder what the real problem is.The real problem, of course, is that the law is racially discriminatory in its effect and motivated by pernicious racial stereotypes. As a result, every latino is automatically labelled a criminal suspect and burdened in ways that don't effect anglos. Also, it effects any minority group recognizable by phenotype, such as Chinese, Japanese, those from the middle east or of Indian descent. The point is, it feeds on the general paranoia about race under the phony pretext of stopping illegal immigration. Latinos are right to be angry.As to inconvenience, the Brennan Center says the following:Very few official documents actually establish citizenship: birth certificates, naturalization certificates, and passports are among the rare examples. Americans who have this paperwork do not usually carry it around with them. And many people store the documents with a family member or in a safe deposit box, far from a current residence. For other citizens, birth certificates simply do not exist. Those born on reservations or outside a hospital, for example, may never have been issued official birth documents. Victims of natural disasters, such as Katrina survivors, may have had their original birth certificates destroyed. ......Official citizenship documents are expensive and time-consuming to obtain. Even when it is possible to procure citizenship documents, it is an expensive and time-consuming process. A replacement birth certificate can exceed $40, and a passport costs $97. For naturalized Americans, replacement citizenship documents cost $220.What's more, none of this addresses the potential for gratuitous harassment and abuse when an anglo is detained for not having proof of citizenship -- not that I don't enjoy the fantasy of some gun totin' tea bagger being thrown in the clink.
Matt,Christians usually do not need the law since their conduct goes beyond the law in good deeds. Canon law is a creation of an empire church which has lost its way. Good learned people have learned the law to protect poor people from it.In particular to your question, Matt, the law in Arizona is specifically geared to Latinos. That is racial profiling, discriminatory and distinctly UnChristian. But if you asked the question it seems clear that you have not studied it sufficiently. Because, surely you would not be that inhumane to our Latino brothers and sisters. Or are the not your brothers and sisters?
I simply forgot all about my (Ohio) driver's license after I moved to Manhattan, and it expired without me giving it a thought. When it became absolutely necessary to have a driver's license to do things like fly, I got a New York State Non-Driver's License (which required me to get and provide a copy of my birth certificate). Later, I decided to get a passport, and I was told a driver's license was sufficient ID, but non a non-driver's license, even though the process for getting both is the same except for the driving test -- I even took the eye exam! I did manage to get a passport, but I had to provide all kinds of information and references, and then the came back to me for more information. It wasn't easy, and it took a few months.
Bill Mazzella, et al: what in particular about this law do you find problematic, and why cant one be a Christian and support it?The problem is that this law gives Az. officialdom a tool for abuse in new and novel ways. Keep in mind that any 'lawful' encounter becomes a pretext for citizenship verification -- where the test of lawfulness is determined afterwards at a trial. Why is it so hard to see that the law is, at best, an excuse for racism and at worst a way to harass and intimidate anyone regardless of race? Why is that so hard to see?
Working in Lower Manhattan, after 9/11 I could no longer get in office buildings without "official" i.d. Since I didn't drive, I had to carry my passport everywhere. I really resented having to carry my passport in my own country: as a little act of rebellion, I would sometimes show my Costco Card as i.d.; it actually got me into about half of the buildings. (I finally bit the bullet and got a NYS non-driver id so I could at least leave the passport at home). Worse, though, are the random bag checks. At my subway station, the police would "randomly" check bags and backpacks of people entering the station. In 9 years, I was never once searched. One of my colleagues, though, a twenty-something African American male, was checked about once a month for a few years. Not so random after all. Its extremely insulting to law-abiding people to be singled out that way.
In 9 years, I was never once searched.

Until about three years ago, I rode the subway to and from work every weekday. I am white and in my 60s.
David --I don't understand your question to me, "What about children?" I don't see a distinct civil liberties problem there.Antonio --I agree. The ID program is for harassing Latinios. The bad guys will just forge ID. They can easily afford it.
"That is racial profiling, discriminatory and distinctly UnChristian."Since when is racial profiling UnChristian? That would mean that the Ruling Party's policy of the assassination of Muslin aliens and Muslim Americans without due process is UnChristian which cannot be accurate or else Notre Dame and the President's other Catholic acolytes would not have blessed the practice repeatedly.
I dont understand your question to me, What about children? I dont see a distinct civil liberties problem there.Ann,My intention was to raise the question of ow many children have driver's licenses or Social Security cards.
Since when is racial profiling UnChristian? That would mean that the Ruling Partys policy of the assassination of Muslin aliens and Muslim Americans without due process is UnChristian which cannot be accurate or else Notre Dame and the Presidents other Catholic acolytes would not have blessed the practice repeatedly.I am confident you can do a lot better than this, MAT. It's not even worth answering.
Oy vey!Proponents of the law should read ythe remarks of the Arizona and New Nexico bishops (who they usually stand firm behind) before they put on their white hats.While it's true many are unhappy with the lack of imigration reform, due, I think, to the failure of the virtual border fence and previously the ability of the hard right to stop imigration reform proposals in Congress, it's also clear that a broad swath of the latino community perceives this law (wirth the broad powers the thread maker points up) as discriminatory.Racial discrimination of any kind is unchristian! The comment cited by David underscores the tenacity of those who cling to the ideoplogical baggage dividing us!
David N, --I see children's ID as a non-issue because I can't see how the law is practical in the first place. ID is too easy to forge. True, new immigrants can't afford forged ID, but soon they will. The whole thing just looks dumb to me. It won't keep the bad guys out, and risks being unfair to the good guys. Arizona needs to work on their policemen and bigotry.
I do not like this new Arizona law at all but I think it is important to understand where the Arizonans, who by a wide majority like this law, are coming from.First of all, there have been Mexicans in Arizona for many decades, mainly without problems. And so I do not think Arizonans are worried about the guys mowing yards or painting house or whatever. Mexican indocumentados have been working in Arizona for many decades and I doubt if reasonable Arizonan Anglos just woke up one day and decided they did not like Arizona Latinos.It is worth noting that recently (by which I mean the last five years or so) there has been a large surge in drug trafficking, and Arizona has for whatever reason become a main drug corridor. Now I am not just talking about individuals nit wits hauling some marijuana (most of that is grown here nowadays anyway), but am instead referring to the more serious drugs like cocaine and heroin and the drug mafiosos who control that racket. The main kingpin of the Mexican narcotraficantes of course is none othe than old Chapo Guzman of the Sinaloan cartel, and he and his guys are very rough and brutal. They have in recent years run roughshod over Mexican authorities and have probably corrupted some American authorities as well; basically they have been running wild through Arizona for the last five years or so.The recent slaying of an Arizona rancher (they even killed his dog) could very well have been the last straw that drove the reasonable people of Arizona to enact such a law.And so while I do not like saying it (I am not a blame-America-first type of guy), in fact a large part of this is our own fault. If we Americans did not have such an insatiable appetite for illegal drugs, the narcotraficantes would not have so much business, places like Arizona would not have the serious problems they currently have, and they therfore would not feel the need to enact such a shortsighted law.Nationally we Americans have seen the beneficial effects that drug testing programs had on the electric and gas utilities and transportation industries (they began back in 1986 or 1987). Accordingly, I suggest we clean up our own (American) act and stop hollering at Jose as he trims the lawn. I suggest we institute very widespread drug-testing programs in the USA, beginning with all government workers and those who work for firms recieving federal money, all politicians, then adding those who work in banking, finance and lagal sectors, and eventually including even doctors and retail workers.I realize this sort of program would not be popular, but it would reduce the problem of Mexican and American drug mafiosos and in general, would improve Americans health and well being and would improve worker productivity. In short it would advance the common good of society. As a compromise to those who would tend to oppose such a large (federal in fact) drug-test program, while I do not like the idea, I would legalize regulated and restricted sale of marijuana; to adults only, regulated under ATF, licensed by local counties and municipalities, and as with tobacco, taxed by the individual states.The upshot is that it seems that this new Arizona law is more an attempt to stem the violence associated with drug trafficking than anything else. As such while it is understandable, it is nonetheless misguided. I do not see where harassing bunches of garden-variety indocumentados and their families, and harassing Latinos who in fact are American citizens serves any useful purpose. I worry that the result of all this will be that while the rest of us distract ourselves hiring lawyers to sue each other over this law, by bussing Mexican gardeners and other laborers back to Mexico, by arguing about presenting papers and who needs an ID card, by pointing fingers and hollering about who is a racist, and hopefully by ultimately discussing why we need an amnesty for decent, hard working indocumentados, etc., while we are doing all that, many individual Americans and Mexicans, along with their communities, will continue to suffer the bad effects of hard drug use, drug trafficking and the consequent violence, and the mafia guys will still be laughing all the way to the bank.
"I am confident you can do a lot better than this, MAT. Its not even worth answering."Your confidence is misplaced.
Ken has noted that this law doesn't necessarily arise from a hateful heart or a desire to harm Latinos simply because they are Latinos. In the culture wars, however, such distinctions are ignored. But Ken's point needs fuller attention. I am an Arizona native; and based on firsthand experience, the relationship between citizens and immigrants, and between citizens and illegal immigrants, in Arizona is more complex than many people outside of Arizona understand. There are bad people in Arizona who de-personalize and objectify those who simply seek a better life; however, there are plenty of Arizonans who exert compassion, and who aren't rushing to call law enforcement on anyone, but who are justifiably concerned about illegal immigration. But, as with the abortion issue, the immigration issue draws familiar battle lines and uncompromising rhetoric. In an above post, I simply asked people to clarify the source of their opposition to this bill and explain why, in the judgment of some, support for this bill is worthy of excommunication. And, as is evident, the mere asking of the question is treated as intolerable, at best a sign of ignorance, at worst, extreme insensitivity to the plight of others.
"And, as is evident, the mere asking of the question is treated as intolerable, at best a sign of ignorance, at worst, extreme insensitivity to the plight of others."Matt, you have to take some responsibility for your actions. Many perceptive people will ask that we turn a question into a statement since a question is often a concealed statement. You might have elaborated on your question rather than letting it dangle for a misinterpretation. This is why Jesus said let your responses be yea yea or no no. So all of us tend to obfuscate. It does not help when you want others to read your mind.
Bill and Matt I think it best if we start with the idea of giving each other the benefit of the doubt i.e., since we are Americans and since this is a Catholic blog, most probably we are God loving people, we ought not question each others motives.I often do not agree with folks on this blog, but I rarely doubt their motives and try to understand where they are coming from.I think some kindness and understanding regarding the problem in Arizona is worthwhile.Matt You asked why people dislike this law. I dislike it because it places a heavy burden on Latinos, both those here legally and the indocumentados. Now, I have to think that most people in Arizona are reasonable and I doubt that reasonable Arizonans intend to needlessly harass latinos, but in fact that is exactly what it seems this law will do.On the other hand:1 - I understand the federal government has not done its job of securing the border2 I understand there is a large and growing problem with drug trafficking in Arizona3 I understand that a large part of Arizonas business plan involves catering to snowbirds and retired folks, and that drug cartels and the violence and corruption associated with that simply will not do.However Arizona has a governor and has congressional representation.1 The national guard in each state is at the full disposal of the states governor. Arizonas governor could have simply sent the Arizona national guard to man the border. That would have helped the situation and also would have drawn the attention of the feds.2 Arizonas governor and congressional delegation could have begun discussion with other border states to develop a solution to the problem or a way to work around the laziness of the federal government.3 Arizona and the other border states might have explored the idea of suing the federal government over the matter.4 The governor might have told the federal government that Arizona will not participate in federal programs or she could have found other ways to tweak the nose of those in Washington enough so that they paid attention to the problems Arizona faces.The upshot is that there were and are other ways to approach this matter, but for reasons maybe only they understand, the good people of Arizona chose to approach it via this new law.As things stand, with this new law Arizona has in fact garnered the attention of the nation and of Washington D.C. and we will see what happens next.Now in addition to praying, we all must have trust in the good character and judgement of the typical, reasonable Arizonan.

There are some mundane tasks that you perform every day, sometimes under great stress. For instance:
- Taking your medication
- Locking your front door
- Parking your car
Since you're so used to them, it may actually be that you do these things without thinking about it, like you're on autopilot.
The question is, what is the best way of always remembering whether/how you've done these things? How can you remember if you really locked the door this morning? How to remember where you parked the car in the supermarket parking area? (These things become extra hard to remember if performed under stress.)

When Colorado City teen Hailey Dunn went missing in late 2010, her mother defended live-in boyfriend Shawn Adkins, claiming she didn't believe he had anything to do with her daughter's disappearance.
Now, Billie Dunn isn't so sure.
"I think it's a possibility, a good possibility (Adkins was involved), after seeing the way he reacted when we broke up – and (when) I think back to what local law enforcement had told me and been trying to tell me. I just thought it wasn't true," Billie Dunn told KTXS in an exclusive interview Wednesday.
Adkins is the only "person of interest" named in Hailey Dunn's disappearance. Adkins has repeatedly said he had no involvement in the missing person case. Efforts to reach Adkins for comment have been unsuccessful.
Billie Dunn returned to the Big Country this week after skeletal remains were found in a field near Lake J.B. Thomas, about 20 miles from where Hailey Dunn was last seen. Law enforcement continue to try to determine the identity of the remains.
Noting her relationship with Adkins ended a while ago, Billie Dunn said she no longer talks to Adkins or trusts him.
"We have no contact whatsoever and haven't in a long time – and I don't want any contact with him," she said. "When I finally did get him to move out, he started harassing me badly. I saw another side of Shawn. He harassed me day-in and day-out, at work, at home….cussing me, threatening me."
And contrary to what some people think, that she was clearly aware of Adkins' involvement in her daughter's disappearance, Billie Dunn said she hasn't covered for Adkins.
"As much as we say we hate each other – and I try not to say hate cause it's such a strong word – but I hate the guy, and people are still saying maybe he did something and I knew about it. I think it's ridiculous. I've got such bigger things going on with my daughter missing," she said.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this massage creme. First of all, it truly IS unscented. If my client prefers a scent, I customize it using essential oils. Secondly, it's so thick and provides such wonderful controlled glide. I use it in my deep tissue work, but I also use it for Swedish massages. It is truly NOT pump-able, but I don't mind that. After having found this product, I don't use anything else. My clients have remarked how they like that it doesn't feel slimy or greasy and they don't feel like they need to wipe off after a massage. Preference is personal, I realize, but I would highly recommend this.
Love the product! I actually like it a little better than the dual purpose creme.
A wonderful product, great for all modalities. A little creme goes a long way, even on very dry skin.
This massage cream is simply the best! Many of my clients have told me how much they love it, even those with skin sensitivites.
It isn't unscented as described in the description! When I opened the cream, I immediately smelled it and knew my client who requested unscented cream would not be happy. Overall this is a nice cream for all modalities.

I'll be passing through Uzbekistan shortly, and am considering getting a Turkmenistan visa for a quick visit into there. What locations can I get this at, and any idea how long it will take to achieve? I'm on a New Zealand passport.
You can get your visa at any Turkmen consulate in the world.
Currently there is only one embassy in Uzbekistan, the address:
For stays of up to 10 days you can (possibly - see edit) get your visa on arrival at the Ashgabat airport.
You can expect processing to take between 1-5 working days. If I were you I'd ring the consulate in Uzbekistan and check with them what their requirements are. Should be no problems for a New Zealander (unless you're a journalist). Note that you need to tell them upfront if you're planning on bringing in a vehicle, and you also need a permit to visit the nature reserves/border zones. You'll also need a letter of invitation or a letter of recommendation from your own embassy.

Is there a spell in the Pathfinder world that grants a power to melee or ranged weapons similar to the Smite Evil / Smite Good ability to overcome all forms of Damage Reduction?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
To clarify, here is the Smite Evil ability of the Paladin.
It sounds like you want a spell that effectively mimics this part of the ability.
If you look at the section on Damage Reduction, you will see there is a segment on "Overcoming DR". This states:
Any weapon with an Enhancement bonus of +5 ignores all Damage Reduction except for DR/(-/Slashing/Piercing/Bludgeoning). Note that this only seems to work if the weapon is permanently enchanted, a weapon temporarily enchanted with the Magic Weapon spell can only bypass DR/magic.
Aside: there are two spells to help you bypass specific forms of resistance. But neither of these bypass DR/-
But none of these beat DR/-. Yep, as far as I can tell, only that Smite ability is capable of completely ignoring DR all together. Worth knowing next time you face the Tarrasque :)
There is the Align Weapon spell, which will overcome alignment-based DR. There is also Versatile Weapon which, among other things, will actually allow the use of a Mace of Sharpness ;)

Robert S. Graetz
The Reverend Robert Graetz, born May 16, 1928, is a Lutheran clergyman who, as the white pastor of a black congregation in Montgomery, Alabama, openly supported the Montgomery Bus Boycott. He is the author of A White Preacher's Memoir: The Montgomery Bus Boycott, published by Black Belt Press in 1999, and several other publications about his experiences.
Born in Clarksburg, West Virginia, Rev. Graetz attended Capital University in Bexley, Ohio in 1950 and received his B.D. in 1955 from Evangelical Theological Seminary in Columbus, Ohio. His first full-time pastoral assignment was at Trinity Lutheran Church, then a black congregation in Montgomery.
During this time, he had a personal friendship with Rosa Parks and became secretary of the Montgomery Improvement Association, the organization that was founded to organize the boycott. Graetz and his family were harassed and ostracized by many other whites for their support of the boycott.
After serving numerous congregations in Ohio and Washington, D.C., throughout his career, Rev. Graetz returned to Montgomery with his wife Jeannie in 2008. The Graetzes are active in many community activities including One Montgomery and the League of Women Voters. They host the annual Graetz Symposium at the National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African-American Culture at Alabama State University.

Wood Pavers
A dock builder was nice enough to let me have a pile of cut-off wood scraps. All the pieces were pressure treated, so they would work great for wood pavers.
I made these pavers about 36"x36" by using a roll of plastic chicken wire cut into a square. Then I used an air staple gun and attached the pieces to the wire using a few 1/2" thick pieces of wood for spacing.
These pavers are put down just like regular pavers. I would not recommend making these larger than 36"x36" as they do get pretty heavy.

Ciao Bella!
The People
The Prevent Cancer Foundation threw its 19th annual spring gala celebration at the decked-out National Building Museum, raising $1.3 million for cancer prevention and early detection. Timed to International Women's Day, the event celebrated the she-survivors among us.
The Party
As it is the Year of Italian Culture, Italian Ambassador Claudio Bisogniero and wife Laura Denise Bisogniero acted as honorary patrons. Rear Admiral Susan Blumenthal, and FOX News reporter Jennifer Griffin attended the event alongside Retired Rep. Ellen Tauscher who accepted the Cancer Champion award from Sen. Diane Feinstein and shared her powerful story of her battle with esophageal cancer.
Best in Show
Dreamy destinations were the stars of the gala's silent auction, which raised more than $85,000. The getaways included a weeklong stay at Tuscany's Ripertoli estate and a sunny South Beach trip. Photography by Tony Powell

Colloid is a dispresion of small particles of one material in another.
Definition 2 (Wikipedia)
A colloidal system consists of two separate phases: a dispersed phase (or internal phase) and a continuous phase (or dispersion medium) in which the colloid is dispersed. A colloidal system may be solid, liquid, or gas.
I am trying to answer problem 2:
"Colloidal particles: What are colloidal systems, give an example, what happens to colloidal particles in a liquid medium. How to stabilize colloidal systems in a liquid medium."
My lecture slides mention this about gel: "a continuous network extending throughout the sample formed by association of colloidal particles or molecules in a liquid", "formed in concentrated polymer solutions" and "formed by association of sol-gel particles". Next lecture slides is about "liquid crystals", now I am confused -- not sure whether gel or "liquid crystals" is something to look here.

David Hamlin has been appointed to the Sturgis Public Schools Board of Education to complete the term vacated by LeeAnn McConnell.
Hamlin has lived in Sturgis 14 years. He is employed by Abbott Nutrition and is president of Apollo AV Inc.
Having two children in the district, Hamlin said he has been impressed with the school district and the support it has received.
"I wanted to get involved in the community," Hamlin said.
The board committee comprising Geoff Smith, Tom Robertson and Kerri Millett recommended Hamlin from among five people who expressed interest.
"We had five really awesome candidates," Millett said. "All were very acceptable to the committee."
She recommends that each of them run for a position when a school board seat opens.

Here are some highlights of the organization from 1975 to today.
1975 - Brockton Area Multi Services Inc. is established by founder Jack Sullivan in Brockton. It began by serving 1,500 people with a staff of 15 people and an annual budget of $2 million.
1980 to 1985 - Nearly 5,000 people receive services; First graduating class of Mathoms/Lovering School, an alternative school for students with behavioral challenges; Community Independent Living program is established.

BROCKTON – Whyman Cannon lives alone and loves it.
With the support of the social services agency, Brockton Area Multi Services Inc., or BAMSI, as it's commonly referred, Cannon, 47, has learned to live independently despite challenges with a development disability, he said.
"BAMSI is more like a community," he said. "You do all kinds of things, you go out and do different things. It's really a matter of community. There are so many people there that I'm grateful to."
Over the last 40 years, the non-profit organization has helped thousands of people across the state like Cannon live fulfilling lives through various social services aimed at improving their quality of life, said Chief Executive Officer Anthony Simonelli.
"Our goal is to be a good community service agency and that's what we've done over the course of time," he said.
"The services that we provide are extremely high quality. They are services that you probably wouldn't get any where in the best of private clinics or programs."
Created under then-CEO Jack Sullivan, in 1975, in partnership with Department of Mental Health, the organization employed just a handful of employees, Simonelli said. With an annual budget of about $2 million, the organization served roughly 1,500 Brockton residents and others in the immediate area, he said.
At that time, the organization's focus rested primarily on providing residential services, day programs, counseling and outpatient services and public health programs, Simonelli said. But as the needs, and the number of communities they served grew, so did the organization's scope of services, he said.
The organization now serves about 30,000 individuals and families across Massachusetts with an annual budget of $73 million, he said. It is also one of the largest providers of WIC assistance to eligible mothers and their children and was among the first in the region to champion Narcan for use by first responders to overdoses.
It counts 1,651 people among its roster of employees statewide that includes nurses, licensed clinicians, therapists and residential counselors, said human resources chief Don Zimmerman.
Its reach extends to nearly a dozen communities, 76 residential homes, 14 commercial leases and an alternative school for students with challenges who require additional support.
In spite of that, Simonelli said, no matter how large or complex its level of services, the organization's philosophy to tailor its services to the specific needs of each person it serves remains the same, Simonelli said.
"We work tirelessly empowering the people serve," echoed Barbara Duffy, the organization's vice president of community relations.
"It's not like we wave a magic wand on people. We've done a fantastic job helping people look at the unlimited possibilities that they have in life."
Page 2 of 2 - Cannon, 47, began receiving services from BAMSI nearly 20 years ago, and first lived in a group home in Brockton before moving into his own apartment recently, he said.
He learned to master chores such as washing dishes and cooking, essential tasks he said most people take for granted but, for him, was a major fete.
He still requires help with budgeting, grocery shopping and trips to the doctor, an order his residential counselor fills.
"They're wonderful people very helpful, I like the service they're giving," said Can non, who works at a local supermarket. "They really showed me how to be independent. I don't know what I would do without them."

COLBERT, OK -- Hundreds of students at Colbert High School were forced to evacuate after an electrical fire this morning. Colbert Fire received the call around 9:30 a.m. after a fire broke out behind the old middle school.
Authorities say the fire was caused by wires outside the building leading into the school. Assistant Chief Jonathan Horn says no one was injured as nearly 600 children were evacuated. Horn says teachers jumped into action with a fire extinguisher.
"With an electrical we just made sure that all of the power was shut off to that building to the area of the school there," said Horn. "We made sure we waited for all the kids to get back in. They put the kids in other classrooms for the remainder of the day."
An electrical company was on the scene around 10:45 a.m. to start fixing the problem and to assess the cause of the fire.

Cloth vs. Disposable Diapersby Lindsay Hutton
From health to convenience, comfort to cost, the great diaper debate has been raging on for decades. Read on to find the pros and cons for each, and make your decision based on what works best for you and your family.
1 of 6
There is no doubt that the convenience of disposable diapers is what attracts most people, especially those who are always on the go. The super absorbent material means fewer changes. When you do need to change your little one, all you need to do with the soiled diaper is roll it up, secure it shut with the tabs, and toss it in the nearest garbage can. This is an attractive option for those who don't have the time or resources to carry around a bag full of soiled diapers until they are able to wash them or send them out to be laundered.
Cloth diapers have become more convenient in recent years. Newer styles have the same Velcro tabs as disposables, making it easier to secure onto your child without the use of clumsy pins. Flushable liners also give you the convenience of flushing waste down the toilet - no stinky garbage bags full of diapers to contend with. Cloth diapers do create more laundry, but it is usually only about two extra loads per week, and there is always the option of utilizing a diaper service.

Add to shopping list
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender and golden. Drain on paper towels, and set aside to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, make the anchovy dressing. In a bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, and anchovies until well blended. Taste, and add a pinch of sugar if needed. Season with pepper.
- Next, pat the scallops dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper. Put the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in frying pan over high heat. When hot, add the scallops. Sear for about 1 minute on one side, then turn them over. Add the chile and ginger, and squeeze in the lemon juice (being careful, as it may spatter). Remove the pan from the heat, and sprinkle with the parsley.
- Serve immediately with the sautéed potatoes, and a drizzle of the anchovy dressing.

I agree, the entitlement crowd will continue to bring our country down until we are completely sunk or until we reform the system.

One major problem Randy is uninformed voters Hatty vote for a person because the way they look or what they pass their way. Until you can get rid of the entitlement society and get people that know the issues and vote their minds it will continue to go down hill.

Well you've made some very valid points but you laced your letter with some absurdities. This is not a Christian born nation and though you can claim that there are Christian values embraced by the Constitution, the reality those values are universal and not patented by any belief. The Constitution allows for freedom to believe and does not encourage any specific belief which should satisfy all religions and beliefs, regardless of their diversities. We can take this nation back without carrying any specific religious banner. K religion in your home, neighborhood and your church but keep it out of government as intended.

You are standing at an airport (that lies somewhere) on equator (of the earth) and have an unlimited number of identical aircrafts (same model, make and fuel capacity etc.) to make a complete trip of equator. Each of the aircraft has the fuel capacity to fly exactly 1/3 (one-third) around the earth along equator. Any flying plane can transfer fuel to any other plane in air instantaneously (without spillage) but after transfer, it should have left with sufficient fuel to come back to the airport (or get refuel again by someone else to eventually come to airport). In any case no plane should get crashed due to fuel outage.
Q(1). What is the minimum number of aircraft necessary to get one plane all the way around the equator assuming that all of the aircraft must return safely to the airport? Assume no other airport is available and unlimited supply of fuel is available (at the airport).
Q(2). What is the minimum number of aircraft necessary for a straight line to reach one of them from start to end point (assuming airport at the start point) and the fuel capacity is 1/3 (one-third) of the straight line (and other conditioned are same as that of Q1).
I can solve it using head and trial but I am looking for a mathematically way to derive the solution.

So good to see these great reviews. My copy arrived today, can't wait to read it. Lets hope this stops you having to go back to ghost writing... or crime.

I dont which of those would be more horrible. Probably the ghost writing.

The Sunday Independent has done good things for crime fiction. They sponsored a two-day crime-fiction within a larger book festival in 2008 where I met many of Ireland's best crime writers. They obviously have good taste as well.

From what I've read online, the Independent's an impressive paper. Has anyone else read John Paul McCarthy's article on Sands, and the many extreme comments it provoked? I don't think I'll ever understand. (I don't know what to think or believe. The Wind That Shakes the Barley only confused me more.) It's made me more eager for my copies of TCCG, Stuart Neville, and A Rage for Order when it comes back in stock.

The picture at the top of this post really shows, I think, one of the biggest challenges for this kind of novel - the idea that some people think dressing up all in black, with hoods even, and carrying machine guns will somehow make life better for people living in quite normal looking houses.
So, again, well done, Adrian.

It can't be good for potential investors to see something like that either can it?

According to the Blackstone website its been recorded so I reckon it'll be released late this week or early next.

In theory yes, de facto of course not. Protection rackets and drug dealing still are good business in Carrick, Belfast and elsewhere in N Ireland.
- January 11, 2012 at 7:04 AM
- Peter Rozovsky said...
Can't be good for tourists, but-- well, it can. But my first meaningful glimpse of Belfast came at the end of a long day (flight to Dublin, bus to Belfast straight from the airport) and the first thing I see as the bus pulls into the station, with dusk falling, is the "You Are Entering Loyalist Sandy Row" mural. It was just the slightest bit disquieting.
The funny thing, to this North American observer, is that the other end of Sandy Row, at Lisburn Road, looks like a perfectly neat, calm residential street. We are used to a bit of squalor with our violence.

Hi Adrian.
I read the review of Cold Cold Ground in the Sunday Times and was instantly hooked. Like yourself, I grew up in Carrickfergus, and was a teenager at the time of the Hunger Strikes. That particular era has left an indelible mark, and whilst I'll freely admit I took the first chance I could to get the hell out of Carrickfergus, I still have a grim fascination for the place. Incidentally, on your blog page there's a photograph of a Loyalist mural in Castlemara estate, I actually lived in that very house at one point, so it was doubly freaky coming to your blog and seeing that.
Anyway, it's safe to say my interest is well and truly piqued. I shall be buying your book, can't wait to read it.
Good Luck.

I grew up in Victoria Estate. Maybe I'm wrong but I always though Castlemara was a tad scarier.
- January 24, 2012 at 11:47 AM
- StewartL64 said...
I grew up out in Eden, them moved to Castlemara for a while. I just found the whole place dark and depressing, it wasn't scary for me as such, had family involved, and whilst I was never interested in any of that guff, people gave me a free pass cos they knew who I was connected to.
Here, maybe this'll make you laugh, do you remember the Victoria Mafia?
By the way, I just bought the Kindle edition of the Cold Cold Ground, really looking forward to reading it.
