Skip to comments.Raitt Hopes Bush Won't Be Re-Elected
Posted on 07/21/2004 5:48:46 PM PDT by Nachum
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Winding up her summer tour across Europe, rhythm and blues singer Bonnie Raitt (news) drew thunderous applause at the Stockholm Jazz Festival for dedicating a classic to U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites).
"We're gonna sing this for George Bush because he's out of here, people!" Raitt crowed Tuesday night before she launched into the opening licks of "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)," a cover that was featured on her 1979 album "The Glow."
The song, penned by Isaac Hayes and David Porter, has been sung by several notable performers, including Mable John, Lou Rawls and others.
Raitt's comments resulted in a round of applause and even whistles from among the estimated 3,000 concertgoers at the Swedish capital's annual jazz event held on the banks of the downtown Skeppsholmen island.
Swedes are skeptical of Bush and the Scandinavian country refused to support his efforts in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq (news - web sites) in 2003.
The nine-time Grammy award winner is no stranger to political activism. Her Web site urges fans to learn more about preserving the environment and she was a founding member of MUSE, or Musicians United for Safe Energy.
Raitt finished off her set with several blues classics, original songs, including several from her breakthrough 1989 album "Nick of Time" and John Prine covers.
I love it! The more exposure these goons get the greater the backlash.
Just another has been like Ronstandt.
Speaking of 'about to end,' Bonnie Raitt is on my has-been, used-to-like list TOO. It grows day by day. I'm saving so much $$$.
Let me be the first to say...
Those glitterati tryin' to interfere in our elections.
I hate to pick nits, but I think Sweden is a neutral country. They wouldnt have sent troops anyway. I could be wrong though..
I wonder if this writer realizes that whistling is booing in Europe.
Its a good thing that the electorate isn't limited to celebrities/entertainers; otherwise we'd be like all of those post-Christian European nations.
And yes you're right about the exposure of these people. The GOP should make a montage of all of them and use them in their ads by asking whose values Kerry/Edwards really stands for -- the Hollywood left or mainstream Americans.

i was thinking the same thing
"Those glitterati tryin' to interfere in our election"
They can try, but they will not succeed. Nobody pays any attention to them anyway.
This is awful. Before you know it performers like Bobby McFerrin and Falco and Tommu Tutone will be saying such things. And what if that guy that did "Ice-Ice-Baby" says something like this????
I sure as Heck don't give a big dung about what washed up has been Bonnie Who? thinks.
Well, at least she had the "guts" to convey her misguided and, to the care of none, droning on stateside.
I have always thought Raitt was way over "Raitted". Now I actively don't like her.
She's no different than the rest of the Rat family.
Actually, I love how they shove it in our faces. Bonnie Raitt and her Hollywood ilk are actually covert operatives for the Bush campaign. hehehe
What is it with all the celebrities engaging in self-immolation? Cut your audience in half..
It's getting so I can't buy any more CDs.
Doesn't matter, the lie is now out there. [resigned shrug]
She looka lika man!
"1979 album"
25 years ago!
In front of 3,000 in Sweden! Wow, I'm impressed. These washed-up has-beens are pandering to the anti-Americanism overseas to resurrect their own declining careers.
Maybe she'll do us all a favor and stay in the Socialist Utopia of Sweden.
That Fugly Wench needs some Botox!!
"...This is awful. Before you know it performers like Bobby McFerrin and Falco..."
I can't speak for Bobby McFerrin and the others, but Falco died in a car wreck several years ago.
Somebody got that picture of dear Bonnie I saw on another thread? She looks like Cruella d'Ville at the ripe old age of eighty-five.
"Actually, I love how they shove it in our faces. Bonnie Raitt and her Hollywood ilk are actually covert operatives for the Bush campaign. hehehe"
They are so covert that they don't even know it.
Bonnie Raitt no longer Rates with me.
I could be wrong, but it seems like most of the airheads who make these pronouncements are has-beens. My theory is that their audiences have already diminished so much that they're glad to get any publicity, even if it's negative.
I noticed that, too! Pathetic!
Bonnie Rat feeling quite pretty.
I can't seem to find it. Maybe if I look up "ridden hard, and put away wet" in the dictionary, I'll find her photo there? ;-)
She looks like Cruella d'Ville at the ripe old age of eighty-five.
ROFLMAO! Love it!
Close but no cigar. Bonnie Raitt was the one who said, on the way to a party: "I hope there's no one there whose face I haven't sat on."
Yes, a drug addict who has benefited from a free America. Raitt looks like a dried up prune and is very ugly. I know she would have a tough time finding a man unless he was strung out on a crack pipe. Bush/Cheney2004
My sh*tlist gets growing. Commie Raitt is ugly and washed up.
Arghhhhhhhhhhhh, this old man wouldn't touch it.
Doncha just luv them when they do this only overseas?
Not surprising at all. She's been a hard-lefty for many years. Among other things, she's given sizable chunks of money to the Greens.
She has nothing but pros around her show. Good stuff. Why she has to talk politics and be an activist sometimes is a mystery. Prime Prine or late Prine?
Hey - let's start a celebrity dead-pool and try to guess the next old, has-been faded star from decades past who gets his/her name in the papers for the first time in countless years by saying something stupid.
Bonnie is as known for her lifelong commitment to social activism as she is for her music. She has long been involved with the environmental movement, doing concerts around Forest, Oil, Mining and water protection since the mid-70s. She was a founding member of MUSE (Musicians United for Save Energy) which produced the historic concerts, album and movie, NO NUKES in 1979. She has been especially active in the fight to preserve our Ancient Forests, performing numerous concerts, lobbying in Washington and getting arrested twice in support of a change in forest policy.
She has also supported groups working for Native American, women's and human rights, as well as the fight against apartheid in South Africa and US involvement in the war in Central America in the 80s.
As one of the founding members of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation she continutes to work for increased recognition, health benefits and royalty reform for the pioneer generation of R&B artists to whom we owe so much. In 1995, she helped establish the Bonnie Raitt Guitar Program, which now provides free guitar lessons to kids in over 180 Boys and Girls Clubs around the world.

Peace for Iraq
More than a decade of U.S. efforts to undermine the regime of Saddam Hussein has produced utter misery for Iraq's 23 million people. A renewed military campaign by the United States against Hussein would wreak further havoc and devastation on Iraq's population for certain, while only potentially removing their notorious leader from power. President Bush is picking up where his father left off, hellbent on protecting access to Iraqi oil, and seems willing to risk the lives of thousands of Americans and Iraqis to keep gas-guzzling SUVs on the highway.
"The American Friends Service Committee and Fellowship of Reconciliation launched the Campaign of Conscience in December 1999 to pressure the U.S. government and the United Nations Security Council to end the economic sanctions that have severely restricted the availability of food, medicine, and clean water in Iraq. During the past ten years, sanctions have led to an almost complete breakdown in economic, medical, social, and educat ional structures."

Shut Down the School of the Americas!
On November 15-17, 2002, thousands will converge in Georgia at the gates of the Fort Benning military base and engage in nonviolent direct action to say NO to torture, rape and murder in our names and to shut down the School of the Americas (SOA).
School of the Americas Watch holds an annual demonstration outside the gates of the recently renamed Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation in Fort Benning, GA. This year the Indigo Girls will perform at Sunday's rally, and other activists such as Pete Seeger, Susan Sarandon and Winona LaDuke will send written statements of support to be read from the stage. All will express their solidarity with protesters on site, against the murderous military training school known as the School of the Americas.
Harvey Wasserman, author of The Last Energy War and senior consultant for Greenpeace USA, collaborated with Bonnie on a statement to be read from stage, expressing their outrage at the ongoing training of death squad sargents and military dictators. Below is an excerpt:
"Indeed, the School of the Americas is a breeding ground for terrorists that needs to be shut down---especially in light of September 11, and especially in light of a new word we're all learning at great cost---blowback.
We have long known it is wrong to train people to kill and impose unjust power in the name of our national arrogance. For two centuries the United States has imposed its will over people and nations who are vulnerable to military aggression.
Our nation has broken more than 400 treaties with native Americans, virtually every one it has ever signed. Today Leonard Peltier and countless other native American activists rot wrongly in jails merely for the "crime" of speaking up for justice for their people.
But this particular school now reminds us such treatment always comes back to haunt us---what goes around, comes around, often in terrible and unexpected ways."

Support Blues Music Education for Youth
The Alabama Blues Project after-school Blues Camp is an innovative and multidisciplinary arts and education program that teaches forty "at risk" students blues musical instruction and performance skills in harmonica, guitar, voice and percussion. The program provides mentoring from music instructors and guest blues musicians, implementing a life skills curriculum through individual tutoring, group interaction and public performances.
The curriculum is designed to provide an environment in which to practice life skills such as listening, cooperation, team work, goal setting and appropriately expressing feelings. The students' performances provide a forum for parents and community to come together to celebrate, recognize and enjoy the students' accomplishments. Music lessons provide an effective bridge between art, culture, youth and community providing a direct link to cultural heritage through music indigenous to this area and giving students a sense of history and "cultural self esteem."

Help Protect the Forests
Priceless forests the world over are being destroyed for private profit, to the detriment of us all. Clear cutting, over logging, conversion of forest land to grazing land---they are turning our lush green treeslands into barren deserts, causing runoff that destroys our rivers and streams, leaving ecological catastrophe where once there were vital ecosystems and the natural balancing mechanisms to combat global warming. We simply cannot afford to lose more irreplaceable forests to rapacious corporations whose only concern is their quarterly bank statement, rather than the long-term health of the planet.

Protest helps change forest policy of lumber giant Boise-cascade
On July 25, 2001, Bonnie and more than 20 musicians and social and environmental justice leaders, including Doors drummer John Densmore and author/activist Julia Butterfly Hill, were arrested at the corporate headquarters of paper-products giant Boise-Cascade in a suburb of Chicago, after peacefully protesting the companys attempts to block free speech and muzzle dissenting voices about their refusal to end its obsolete, environmentally destructive logging and distribution practices and adopt sustainable forestry principles. RAN's old-growth campaign has garnered increasing public support resulting in major brands, including L.L. Bean, Levi-Strauss and Patagonia, dropping their contracts with Boise. The company recently altered its old growth policy, a move that hints that Boise is feeling the heat and success may be on the horizon. Until then, RAN will continue to work tirelessly to end Boises out-of-date, barbaric logging practices.

Actually, in this case "SHUT THE F@#$%^! UP AND PLAY THAT SLIDE GUITAR!" would be more appropo.
always a rather harsh looking and shrill woman....sorry I bought one of her albums in the 70s.
I heard that Milli Vanilli totally lambasted Bush at a recent concert. (...It was only later that it was discovered that they were really just lip-syncing a tape of Linda Rondstadt.)

Q: "Dependencies with other participants": we are two persons having 2 companies; for each company we have the quote at 50% each one. One of our companies is in Italy and has the main activity of aeronautical consulting; the other company is in Romania and has as main activity software production. Now, we have a FP7 proposal under call FP7-AAT-2007-RTD-1 / CSA-SA and this project needs aeronautical consulting and software production. So, the project needs both activities. Could we present our FP7 project with these two companies as participants while the Italian company will be the coordinator ? If not, in alternative, could we use one company as sub-contractor of the participant company ?
A: As you will see in the website on FP7 (indicated hereafter) some conditions for participation to a project are foreseen: Concerning 2 companies established in Italy and Romania, countries member of the EU: they could participate as contractors (and one could be coordinator) to the project if there are two different legal entities registered in their country. Furthermore, these companies should register through the Unique Registration Facility (URF) in order to validate their status. Additional information will be given in the Cords website. Please note that the two legal entities have to be independent.

The US services sector slowed a bit in January, as business activity, new orders and order backlogs all slipped, the Institute for Supply Management said Tuesday.
The ISM's nonmanufacturing sector purchasing managers index fell to 55.2 from 55.7 in December, with the December index having also been revised downward from the initial estimate of 56.1.
The ISM said survey respondents' comments about the economy and business conditions were mixed.
"However, the majority of respondents are optimistic about the overall direction," it said.
The slower business activity was partly offset by a rise in prices and new export orders.
The revision downward for December paralleled the government's initial estimate released last week that economic growth actually contracted 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter.
"Business is slightly softer than this time last year, but there are a lot of projects on the horizon which gives us confidence," one representative of the wholesale trade told ISM.
"Sales are up slightly compared to this same period last year. This is offset by slight increases in costs for personnel benefits, fuel and other operating costs," said another in public administration.

The hotel looks a little "aged" from the outside but the room I had was fantastic.
Room sizes were very good and finished very well.
Room service meals were a bit pricey but very nice. Fruit platter was very fresh and large portion.
I was somewhat disappointed that the business center was a separate charge and I couldn't do a simple thing like print a page or even use a computer quickly without a credit card. A little strange that I couldn't charge to my room or that use was not included in the room.

EPA head: Successful women should mentor others
Published: Saturday, March 29, 2003 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 29, 2003 at 11:19 a.m.
THIBODAUX -- Women who find success in politics and other areas of public life have a responsibility to mentor others, and by doing so encourage gender diversity in all levels of government, a ranking female Bush Administration appointee said Friday.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency chief Christie Todd Whitman made her case for solidarity during an address at the Louisiana Women in Government Center's annual banquet at Nicholls State University.
"The women you see honored tonight are an example of how capable women are in any field of endeavor when they are allowed to succeed," said Whitman, a former New Jersey governor who broke gender barriers in her home state throughout her career.
Honored for the contributions they have made to their communities were Louisiana National Guard Sgt. Maj. Darlene LeCompte Pellegrin, health care lobbyist Judy Ewell Day, Baton Rouge YMCA Director Roberta Madden and psychologist Margaret Pereboom.
As part of the program, each was inducted into the Women in Government Hall of Fame.
Pellegrin, a 29-year veteran of the Louisiana Army National Guard, serves as the sergeant major for the Louisiana Directorate of Military Personnel. A native of Houma, she enlisted in 1973 only months after women were first allowed entry into the service.
In 1989, she became the first female to reach the rank of sergeant major and, 13 years later, is still the sole holder of that rank among Louisiana women.
A native of Centreville, Miss., Day is a lobbyist representing Woman's Hospital and Woman's Hospital Foundation on governmental affairs issues in Louisiana and Washington, D.C.
She has long been an advocate for strong laws to protect the privacy of rape victims, laws to prevent children abuse and neglect, laws to protect women from misuse of their genetic information and laws to expand medical coverage for gender-specific surgeries such as breast reconstruction.
Madden, a native of Council Bluffs, Iowa, created and manages a YWCA program that helps provide greater health care access for women. She began the program after her own experience with breast cancer.
For more than seven years, Madden lobbied with the citizens' advocacy group Common Cause to protect open meetings, public records and ethics laws and to strengthen campaign-finance laws.
A native of Lusk, Wyo., Pereboom spent 30 years in private practice specializing in preschool, adolescent and mid-life care and has worked as a psychologist at the Greater Baton Rouge Cerebral Palsy Center and at Margaret Dumas Memorial Mental Health Center.
Rose Harris, director of the Women in Government Center, said the group seeks to encourage women to enter leadership positions and serve in government, whether in elected or appointed capacities.
"Our goal is to encourage leadership and teach citizenship through internship programs and workshops," Harris said.
Louisiana, Harris said, has improved in terms of female involvement in public life, but still has farther to go.
"In 1990 we ranked 50th in terms of women elected to office. Now we are in the lower 40s," she said.
"It is not so much that we are putting women against men," Harris said, echoing similar words spoken by Whitman. "There is a particular perspective that needs to be part of our policy-making process. There are issues that face women of which only women have the appropriate type of depth and insight, where they are the best person to help."

On the eve of its release in 2004, a petition seeking a stay on Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday was filed by the people depicted in the film, the alleged perpetrators of the series of bomb blasts that rocked Mumbai on March 12, 1993, killing nearly 300 people and injuring more than 1,400. Since the verdict was still pending, the petitioners argued that the release could prejudice public opinion against them and influence the court's decision. The filmmakers argued that the book by crime reporter S Hussain Zaidi that the film was based on had already been out since the last decade, so why hold up the film?
However, the petitioners' argument was upheld by the court. It ruled that a book did not have the same power as a film. A very significant statement, for sure.
When the film was ultimately released two years later to critical and commercial success, the court's observation stood vindicated — that a film indeed has a huge impact because of its immediate and simultaneous reach, and more people saw the film than read the book.
In a diverse country like India where cinema has an unprecedented reach and popularity, influencing its varied customs and behavioural patterns — in fact, all aspects of social conduct — the medium can indeed be used to provoke and manipulate vast sections of people if it fell into the wrong hands. And therein comes the role of censorship.
But the issue of censorship has been a very sensitive one that has run into controversies quite frequently for questionable decisions on a number of cases. Filmmakers have frequently argued against censorship, claiming it infringed on their creative liberties, while there have been voices that have argued in its favour, justifying its existence in a country that is vulnerable to emotional manipulations by vested interests that could pose a threat to its security and sovereignty.
The pertinent argument by those against censorship is that most often its guidelines are used to delete individual scenes or moments without taking into consideration the context in which such scenes are depicted. Some of the guidelines in fact are quite vague and ambiguous, such as, "… the Central Board of Film Censorship shall ensure that… human sensibilities are not offended by vulgarity, obscenity or depravity" or "scenes degrading or denigrating women in any manner are not presented".
Films like Bandit Queen, Gangs of Wasseypur or Paan Singh Tomar, if they want to be true to their art, cannot avoid vulgarity or obscenity, which constitute the core of their contents. And as far as "degrading and denigrating women" is concerned, then most mainstream films from Hindi and regional cinema would have no business to be there to begin with, for most Indian films look at women from a feudal patriarchal outlook, occasionally camouflaging the portrayal with a cursory glorification equating her with a goddess, which is all bunkum. Sample this song by Anuradha Paudwal from the film Naseeb Apna Apna (1986), Bhala hai bura hai jaisa bhi hai, mera pati mera devta hai, and this is just a drop in the ocean.
The recent dictum to run an anti-smoking warning at the base of the screen every time a character is shown smoking is stretching things a little too far, momentarily distracting the viewer's attention from the scene. Some argue that this is better than banning smoking absolutely from the screen, which was the case till a few years ago, a decision that was spearheaded by the then chairman of the censor board Sharmila Tagore. Incidentally, her role of a beedi-smoking sex worker in Gulzar's Mausam had fetched her the National Award in 1975.
On the 68th anniversary of independence, one thing that filmmakers could desire from the censor board is that it widens its scope and becomes more liberal, instead of clamping down unduly on relevant scenes. Also, filmmakers too should adopt a more responsible attitude towards their craft and not engage in sensationalism for commercial reasons. It is always a two-way traffic, after all.

Atomic layer deposition – tooling up nanotechnology step by step
Tools are useful when they meet all the demands of a particular objective, and invaluable when they continue to meet requirements that are ever evolving over time. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was already a useful tool for thin films in the 1980s, although commercial use was then limited to electroluminescent displays. By the 1990s use of ALD was making inroads in the microelectronics industry, but it wasn't until the end of that decade that the great match between the fabrication requirements in nanotechnology and the precision and control the technique can achieve became apparent. Since then, more than 1200 research papers, 80 reviews and two books have been published on ALD in nanotechnology. Over the past year, a Nanotechnology focus collection has been highlighting the latest research using the technique to fabricate devices for energy, environment and sustainability, where ALD is still crucial to developments at the frontiers of nanotechnology.
A kind of variation on chemical vapour deposition, ALD involves exposing the surface to the atomic elements of the chemicals to be deposited in separate stages, and then clearing the excess between each stage. In a paper published in the late 1990s exploring how ALD might be useful in nanofabrication, Mikko Ritala and Markku Leskelä list the merits this tweak introduces – "accurate and simple film thickness control, sharp interfaces, uniformity over large areas, excellent conformality, good reproducibility, multilayer processing capability, and high film qualities at relatively low temperatures." These attributes have proved particularly valuable for attempts to improve the efficiency and scalability of alternative energy technologies.
Coating electrolytes on 3D structures
Many of the processes key to energy harvesting and storage devices are improved by the increased surface area that 3D structures bring. In lithium ion batteries (LIBs), a higher surface area means higher energy and power densities, as well as space to accommodate the addition and removal of lithium ions, which can introduce mechanical strain during use. LIB researchers are increasingly looking towards solid-state as opposed to liquid electrolytes to avoid risks of leakage and corrosion. As a result, sophisticated coating techniques to add electrolyte and counter-electrode layers to complex 3D nanostructures are in high demand. ALD not only provides pinhole-free coatings of solid-state electrolytes on 3D electrode structures, but it also offers the ability to tailor the coating thickness, which can significantly improve performance. As Tsun-Kong Sham and Xueliang Sun and colleagues at the University of Western Ontario point out in their report, "It is expected that the lithium phosphate thin films prepared by ALD can find potential applications as solid-state electrolytes for 3D all-solid-state micro-LIBs, which, as an emerging area, deserves more extensive investigation in the coming future." Sun and colleague Jian Liu at the University also summarize key points in the design of electrodes and electrode/electrolyte interfaces in a separate paper reviewing ALD in LIB research .
Supercapacitors are a particularly attractive energy resource in nanoelectronics, where space is at a premium. As with LIB research, the advantages of 3D structures with solid-state electrolytes have been noted. In the focus collection, Giuseppe Fiorentino, Frans D Tichelaar and their colleagues at Delft University of Technology report on supercapacitors comprising carbon nanotube bundles as high-aspect-ratio electrodes that can improve the capacitance by a factor of five. The electrode is coated with aluminium oxide as the electrolyte, followed by titanium nitride as the counterelectrode, using ALD in work that not only demonstrates "the first known example of large-scale manufacturable nanostructured capacitors", but also provides useful insights for coating such high-aspect ratio nanostructures.
Electrochemical cell structures can also take on elaborate hierarchical forms as demonstrated by Xudong Wang and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Forest Products Laboratory in the US. They combine ALD and cellulose nanofibres to produce extensively branched structures for photoelectrochemical water splitting. "Such a 3D TiO2 fibre-nanorod heterostructure offers a new route for a cellulose-based nanomanufacturing technique, which can be used for large-area, low-cost and green fabrication of nanomaterials as well as their utilizations for efficient solar energy harvesting and conversion," say the researchers.
With respect to solar energy harvesting, ALD is already a well entrenched technique in the field, and has been used to coat the inverse opals and other 3D structures often employed to reduce the distances charge carriers must travel to reach electrodes. Alfred Iing Yoong Tok and colleagues at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and the University of New South Wales in Australia review the application of ALD in solar-power technologies, focusing on its use for surface passivation, surface sensitization and band-structure engineering.
The potential for lateral confinement
As well as providing an excellent tool for coatings, it has long been recognized that ALD offers great potential for controlled lateral confinement. This aspect is the subject of detailed scrutiny in the catalysis work of Marcel A Verheijen at Philips Innovation Services and Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. Coating thickness is still key for catalysis performance, as demonstrated by Ai-Dong Li and colleagues at Nanjing University in China. However, as the work by Verheijen and his colleagues in the group of Wilhelmus Kessels at the university identifies, ALD can also help with size matters. In a study of four ALD processes for the preparation of nanoparticle catalysts made from platinum and palladium, they identify the potential for size control, as well its dependence on process conditions.
It is perhaps the ability to accommodate innovation that makes ALD so invaluable. The use of plasmonic metamaterial absorbers has only really gained notice in the past few years, and ALD is already proving invaluable for work exploring the essential mechanisms in these systems too. Reporting in this collection, Xin Chen and colleagues at the Shanghai Institute for Technical Physics exploit ALD control over dielectric layers in order to distinguish between different plasmon modes. "We demonstrated inversed plasmonic metamaterial absorber architectures with a tunable ALD spacer layer, and thus identified the contributions of the gap plasmon and the interference-enhanced local surface plasmon resonance to the superior absorption in a step-by-step manner," they conclude.
It is typical of science to break down problems into manageable pieces that can be tackled step by step. By breaking down deposition to an atomic level with step-by-step self-limiting stages, ALD mirrors this approach and in so doing seems to provide a multipurpose tool for a diverse range of applications, as the Nanotechnology focus collection highlights.

It's time for another Raw Vegan Potluck and this time, the lovely FRESH MAMA FRESHATARIAN CAFE has offered us to host our potluck there!
This will be fun, particularly for our new members who have not been to a raw vegan potluck yet. If you don't find the time or inspiration to make a raw food dish, you can simply contribute something from Fresh Mama's great raw salads, wraps, snacks, or desserts.
We will start with the potluck at 3:30 pm to allow attendees of another meetup ending at this time to attend as well.
Below are some guidelines for our raw vegan potlucks
Raw Potluck: we ask you to bring a 100% raw, organic, unprocessed, non-animal based (vegan with no honey) ready-to-serve dish for as many people as have RSVP'd to this meetup MINUS 10 (to account for no-shows). In other words, if you see 40 RSVPs on this meetup, make a dish that will serve a tasting for 30 people. The idea is not to feed the masses, but to enable everyone to have a small tasting of your delicious creation.
If you are attending with a guest, please consider bringing two dishes; a dish and a beverage; or simply make more of the one dish you are preparing.
Please bring a typed or neatly printed recipe to display next to your dish, ideally with copies for people to take with them if they choose so.
The below list of raw vegan dish ideas may help you to decide what to bring to our potluck events:
1. You could bring an organic fresh salad
2. There are plenty of raw recipes available online:
3. Most raw food books have raw recipes
4. Organic raw fruit, fruit salad, or raw nuts
I look forward to seeing you at the potluck on Sunday, February 3rd!
Please contact me if you have any questions!
Your host

Founder & President of Belsandia.com
This event was so good. I love " fresh mama" it was lovely. I love meeting all new people and seeing some "old" ones.
The precept for the plain onion rings is :
Water, carrots, selery, fresh tomatoes,sun dry tomatoes, red bell pepper, garlic, flax seeds, cumin powder, paprika, kayan pepper powde, raisins. All that in hight speed in the blender. Then you deep the onion rings one by one and put them on the reflex sheet and place in the dehydrator on 105 degrees. It takes good 24-48 hours. The darkest one were dipped in this sos and then "flower" made from almonds and dark flax seeds. Bon appetite.

I've been thinking about this "sample or gorge" question and I have my own take on the quantity of food to bring to these events: How would it be if we do something in the middle based on our own individual appetites? For example, I try to bring the quantity equal to what I think I will eat-plus a bit more to allow for extra that can be taken home or left for the host (I am big eater, especially compared to people who "eat like birds" [Although don't birds eat their weight in food every day or so?]) so that I will be pleasantly full and consider myself as having had a meal. I'm curious as to what others bring regarding their own consumption quantity -rather than adjusting for no-shows -which I haven't seen happening much lately...?

Is this kids friendly event. I would like to bring my 3,5 and 5 years old. If it is not for kids it is o.k me and hubby will still come. Just need to know if I can bring the kids as well. If not I'm sure they will have fun with grandma and eat bunch a junk food :-(. She things it is her duty to stuff them full of junk. I'm working on changing that. Not much success so far. Wish me luck.

Clouds this morning kept us from seeing record breaking cold, but it was still a chilly morning nonetheless. Clouds have been increasing through the day, and we will turn overcast through the night and into our Friday. Showers look to arrive around and after noon Friday and be with us through the rest of the day and through our Saturday as a system moves through the area. Rainfall amounts could be heavy at times with one to three inches of rain possible by Sunday morning.
Sunday looks to transition to more isolated to scattered shower and storm activity as we attempt to warm up but still have plenty of moisture and a lifting focus (stalled boundaries) through the area. The best chance for rain Sunday looks to be in the morning hours with just an isolated shower or storm in the afternoon.
The isolated shower and storm chance remains in the forecast through the back part of next week. High pressure will attempt to build in from our east and west, but as of now, does not look like it will win the fight, causing us to keep the rain chances possible.
Highs will try and make it to the mid 80s Friday before rain arrives with low 80s the absolute best we can do on Saturday. Sunday will start to see highs head back towards 90, getting there by Tuesday. We are done with our cool mornings after tonight as lows return to 70.

About Me
"All I can strive to be is the absolute best possible version of myself." I moved to Arizona from Southern California back in 1983 to attend Arizona State University. I had planned to move back to my beloved Huntington Beach the moment I graduated, but somehow the desert changed all that for me. I put down roots in the Valley of the Sun and never looked back, well, except for the trips in the summer for a little cool, beach time. Before I became a Realtor, I spent 14 years as an aerospace engineer - yes, I was a Rocket Scientist! Because I come from a technical background, I avoid the whole "salesperson" approach to my business. I am a problem solver, a researcher, a negotiator and a facilitator. Believe it or not, that's what makes me a great Realtor! I focus on the needs of my clients first, because I value the relationship with each and every one of them. And there are plenty of services I offer that do not depend on you moving! I know many people are reluctant to contact Realtors because they are afraid that they will be coerced into selling … [Read More]

It's a depressing story made even more of a downer by the absence of any Stones-performed music from their prime '60s years.
Newcomer Gregory never captures the mercurial charisma for which Jones was famous (and which Jagger notoriously channeled in his movie debut, "Performance"), without which his story is just another cautionary tale about fast times, intemperate passions and bad dope.
Stoned carries a freaked-out buzz of nostalgia for the era when celebs willfully destroyed themselves for our amusement.
The good news here is that Woolley and his writers have taken the mystery surrounding Jones' tragic 1969 death as their main interest, and have adopted as fact the long-cherished rumor that the blond rocker's drowning was a case of murder. It may be speculative history, but at least it's a story.

JohnP.Mar 12, 2007As a life long fan of The Stones and still remembering the devastation I felt when I heard he had passed the movie has nullified all that. As a life long fan of The Stones and still remembering the devastation I felt when I heard he had passed the movie has nullified all that. I'm not much into sugar coating but I can not believe that the director couldn't have found some positive in the mans life. If Jones was such a selfish mean spirited jerk then I guess it should no longer come to us as such a surprise whether he killed himself or someone offed him. He unfortunatley didn't deserve what could have been.… Full Review »
MapP.Aug 15, 2006Worth a look, better than I was expecting.
WillC.Jul 8, 2006Really a super boring and dull movie. No Rolling Stones music either. I would avoid this one.

My DH's grandmother moved in with DH's dad and has a 10 year old boxer. The wife hates the dog, always has, always will. Saturday grandma didn't shut the door good and the dog got out (happens a lot), well the dog got in a fight with another dog that a lady was walking with and the lady tried to seperate it and got scratched up and the dog did too. It cost my inlaws $1400 in vet bills and the lady's doctor bills. Now stepmom said the dog is gone, she can't take care of grandma and the dog and it needs to be put down or given away. of course grandma wants her "baby boy (my DH)" to take him. he is not an aggresive dog to people AT ALL. has been great with my kids and pretty much lays around and is on grandma's schedule. he has never bit a person just has a problem with his territory and other dogs. Do i consider taking him in or say hell no?
I think she is totally fine with him coming to live with us!!

Carbon nanotubes are promising candidates for futuristic nanoelectronic applications due to their excellent properties. In this paper, we present a comprehensive modeling and calculation of electrostatic capacitances for various carbon nanotube systems that can be used to model interconnects in nanotechnology circuits. We provide results for single walled, multiwalled and bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes as functions of the various design parameters. Numerical computations were performed using the method of moments in conjunction with a Greenpsilas function appropriate for the geometry of the interconnects.

For guitarists and bassists, there's no shortage of accessories on the market to help you get the most out of your instruments and play them in new, innovative ways. In fact, there's so much out there that finding the right gear can take a lot of looking... unless you know where to look. Once you've discovered Dunlop accessories, though, you probably won't need to look anywhere else. The variety of gear that Dunlop has to offer is simply outstanding, and this section is the place to find all those little things you need to fill up the accessory compartments in your guitar case.
Dunlop's biggest claim to fame is probably their lineup of guitar picks, so those are a great place to start out. They've got all the materials you'd expect, including nylon, tortex, delrin and even carbon fiber, so you won't have any trouble finding a Dunlop pick with the perfect feel for your own tastes. And while you're at it, you can grab something like the Dunlop Scotty Pick Holder or Microphone Stand Pick Holder to make sure that you've always got your new picks within arm's reach on the stage.
There's also a fair share of situational accessories here, which you can use for certain playing styles or cases. For instance, the capo is a pretty common piece of kit that allows you to shorten the scale of your guitar to raise the pitch. The Dunlop Trigger Flat Guitar Capo does its job well and is a lot quicker than a standard capo to place and remove, so you can do rapid pitch changes on the fly. Other accessories that can really make a difference in how you play include tonebars and slides, such as the Dunlop Derek Trucks Signature Glass Bottle Slide. If you've never tried any of these before, maybe it's time to experiment!
Picks, pick holders, capos, slides and tonebars are only scratching the surface of Dunlop accessories. With a huge selection featuring strings, straps, polishes, cleaners and tons more, it's not a stretch to say that you can find everything you need to tweak your instrument's sound right here. Whether you'd like some supplies for playing your guitar, caring for it or even just something as simple as a cable, Dunlop has you covered.

Introduction I reluctantly agreed to offer a Forward to this autobiography. because I was concerned that the obscene language, the controversial subject matter and the details Steve offers would disgust and turn-off the reader. Initially, that was my reaction as I read this sensitive and powerful confession. But instead of soaking in disgust, my perseverance was rewarded as I read the final chapters. He presents summaries of the views of today's experts in psychology and the legal system dealing with child abuse. He shows clearly that they do not have answers nevertheless attempt to provide solutions that are failing. In contrast, in summarizing his life he points clearly to the cause of his deviant sexually behavior. I applaud Steve for speaking truth to power this narration of his personal story. I feel certain that his autobiography will liberate and heal many others who endured similar backgrounds and struggles. The need for his sound advice, his unique messages, and his heartfelt recommendations will benefit and be clear to any reader. Roseann Valent Straube Christmas Valley, Oregon Forward Steve Mizera would not have chosen the childhood he was forced to endure. Nobody would. News reports pop up all the time about figures in positions of leadership using their superiority and power to abuse trusting young children. Boy Scout leaders, Catholic Priests, and even more recently, Penn State coaches have all been stigmatized for their role in the suffering of children under their watch. Unfortunately for Steve, the institution he lived in as a young boy included the stereotypical pedophiliac activity making headlines today. His journey starts in a very dark place, and brings the reader through his adolescence to his adulthood, including details of the horror he inflicted on victims of his own, eventually finding a new life in Christ, with a loving family that he had been robbed of as a boy. Along the way, the author describes his own theories and insights regarding the choices of those around him, as well as his own. When the opportunity arose for me to help proofread and edit his initial writings, I found myself intrigued, hoping his words will help reach others and possibly assist them to seek help and/or enlightenment of their own. As it is often said, if this book helps stop one child from being abused, or steers one offender toward rehabilitation, then his goal will have been fulfilled. Elizabeth McCrory, Citrus Heights, California This book is dedicated to my extended family: Nick and Marina Klimov and their wonderful children: Yelena, Sergey, Slava and Valeriy. Each brought their special brand of love into my empty and wayward life. Yelena, who with her warm and loving husband Stas, added the immense and intense pleasure by allowing me to observe Benjamin, Nelly and Timothy become the center of their family. It has been pure joy. My close association with both families is the vicarious fulfillment of my life. This autobiography is also dedicated to those leaders and to my brothers and sisters of Grace Family Church, Carmichael California, who try daily to keep the second greatest commandment as inspired by God in the bible: to love one another. They have taught me about love.

I've written an application where users are authenticated and logged in through LDAP. This works really well, I just do an
ldap_bind() with their credentials, and if it's true then authenticate them - otherwise, tell them to sling it. I can keep their username in a session variable so I know who they are.
Now, a part of the application requires the users to search LDAP to find other users. I've used
jquery-autocomplete and
ldap_search() to implement this, and it works really well - users just type in the username, first name or surname, and all the possible matches are suggested. Lovely :)
However, corporate IT does not even allow anonymous browsing of the directory within the network, so, right now, I'm storing the username and password in
$_SESSION so that I can do a new bind each time the autocomplete script is called. I know it's fairly secure, and the tool is only internal, but this feels like something I shouldn't really do, and definitely wouldn't do if it was being let "out into the wild".
What I'd like to do is create the bind to LDAP when they log in, and then somehow have this authentication remembered across the session, so we can do as many searches as we need to without having to re-authenticate each time. I've got no access to the server, so I can't change anything on there. Can I somehow store the successful bind in
$_SESSION and reuse it?
If this isn't relatively straightforward, does anyone have any other suggestions as to how this could be implemented?
