Responding to a Tweet from screenwriter Sarah Daly, the legendary director praised the film's trailer, saying it was "Very good. Great images… and great visual storytelling and evocation of Soavi and Bava."
The Black Gloves is the latest offering from director/writer team Lawrie Brewster and Sarah Daly of Scotland's indie horror house Hex Media. Inspired by classic chillers such as Hitchcock's Rebecca and Jack Clayton's The Innocents, The Black Gloves tells the story of a psychologist obsessed with the disappearance of his young patient, and the menacing owl-headed figure that plagued her nightmares. His investigations lead him to a reclusive ballerina who, just like his patient, is convinced that she is about to die at the hands of this disturbing entity.
According to Director/Producer Lawrie Brewster, "We're honoured and thrilled by Guillermo Del Toro's kind words about our film. I've loved his work ever since The Devil's Backbone, so it's extremely exciting to have one of your idols take notice of what you're doing. The world of independent films is really tough, from getting a project off the ground to getting it seen, so an endorsement like this from a legendary figure in the genre is a huge boost. And obviously, to be compared to Mario Bava is pretty flattering too!"
The Black Gloves stars Spanish horror icon Macarena Gomez (Dagon, Shrew's Nest) and genre legend Nicholas Vince (Hellraiser, Nightbreed) as well as Hex Media stalwart Jamie Scott-Gordon (The Unkindness of Ravens, Lord of Tears) and actress/dancer/choreographer Alexandra Nicole Hulme (Girls, Smash, Lord of Tears).
The film was shot over three weeks in a remote mansion in the Scottish Highlands last October, now Lawrie has turned to Kickstarter seeking funds to complete the film's post-production. The campaign has, so far, been a huge success, with more than 600 backers from around the world pledging over £50,000 to help bring The Black Gloves to life.

A co-production between Hex Media, Dark Dunes Productions, 3rd Monkey Productions, and Needle's Eye Productions, in association with Lights Out Productions, the project has also attracted producers from around the world, including Executive Producers Sultan Saeed Al Darmaki, Scott Anderson, Eileen Reeder, Richard Pate, and Charles W. Stiefel, and Co-Producers Zeke Hanson, Morten Wisting, Kyle Curry and Rhiannon Crothers.
With an expected release date of Autumn 2017, the funds raised will go towards the film's soundtrack, visual effects, mix, and marketing, ensuring that this ambitious indie has the best chance of being seen by the widest audience possible.
There's still time to get involved at The Black Gloves Kickstarter page here.

Treat pranks by children 'as crimes': Senior officer says police are under pressure to start recording playground high jinks
- Sir Hugh Orde said the trend is causing 'real frustration'
- He said officers believe they should focus their efforts elsewhere
- Sir Hugh was speaking at the Acpo annual conference
Sir Hugh Orde, president of the Association of Chief Police Officers, said police are under increasing pressure to record 'playground high jinx' as crimes
Police are under increasing pressure to record 'playground high jinx' as crimes, one of the country's most senior officers said last night.
Officers are regularly criticised for not adding petty pranks and boisterous escapades by youngsters to official records, Sir Hugh Orde revealed.
In one case police dealt with three eight-year-olds caught bearing their bottoms at passing motorists by simply taking them home and informing their parents.
And in another an officer did the same when he was called to a 10-year-old boy and a younger friend who were throwing around stolen penny sweets.
But official inspectors later said both incidents should have been recorded as crimes, potentially triggering a full inquiry, even when the participants could not be prosecuted because they were below the age of criminal responsibility.
Speaking yesterday, Sir Hugh, said the trend is causing 'real frustration' to chief constables who believe they should have discretion to focus their efforts elsewhere.
He said: 'The point is less around the individual cases than the impact of a process that obscures the detail and can deliver a false impression of policing that ill informs the public.
'The aim must be to improve policing and that is best achieved within a profession which has the maturity to discuss and learn, not condemn failures.'
Police crime recording remains in the spotlight after a series of scandals about tricks and cheats used by forces to manipulate all-important figures.
MPs have lambasted forces for 'gaming' statistics by reclassifying crimes and under-recording serious offences to put a gloss on their performance.
Last year one chief constable broke ranks to admit that an 'obsession' with reducing crime is leading some officers to manipulate figures.
Sir Hugh suggested Tom Winsor, the Government-appointed Chief Inspector of Constabulary, has overcompensated by toughening up the crime-recording regime.
Sir Hugh said the trend is causing 'real frustration' to chief constables who believe they should have discretion to focus their efforts elsewhere
Speaking at the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) annual conference, he said complex policing situations are being over-simplified by bureaucrats.
He said: 'One chief constable told me that Her Majesty's Inspectors had challenged him on a set of circumstances involving an officer who responded to a call where three young boys aged eight had chosen to bare their bottoms at passing motorists.
'He dealt with the matter by escorting the boys home, speaking to the parents and leaving. If my eight-year-old had behaved in a similar way I would be entirely satisfied and indeed grateful to the officer.
'But apparently that should have been recorded as a crime.'
He added: 'I still remember learning that it was an irrefutable presumption at common law that a child aged under 10 is incapable of committing a crime.' An interim report into the crime recording standards of all police forces in England and Wales was published last month and a final version is expected later this year.
Crime records are governed by strict standards laid down by the Home Office and the National Crime Recording Standard.
In response a spokesman for HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) denied applying pressure to police forces to do 'anything improper'.
He said: 'The integrity of police recorded crime is important so that police chiefs know the patterns of offending behaviour in their areas, and can deploy their resources with the maximum of efficiency and effectiveness.
'HMIC inspects against the rules as they stand. There is no question of HMIC deciding what should and should not be recorded as a crime.
'Making an administrative record of a criminal offence reported by a victim does not and cannot criminalise anyone.
'The choices the police then make in relation to the course of action to be taken are at the discretion of investigating officers and ultimately Chief Constables.
'The age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is ten. No criminal proceedings could be taken against an under-age child.
'It is a common feature in the sphere of public accountability that when entities are held closely and firmly to account, they sometimes dislike and resist it. The police service is no different.'

Facebook Reports 24 Percent Rise in Government Requests for Personal Data (The Guardian)
Government requests for Facebook's user information rose by about a quarter in the first half of 2014 over the second half of last year, the social media company has revealed. In the first six months of 2014, governments around the world made 34,946 requests for data – an increase of 24 percent on the same point in 2013. TIME Meanwhile, the number of government requests for content restriction rose by 19 percent, the report said. While government requests are made for criminal investigation purposes, Facebook said that it ensures that all inquires are legally sufficient. IBT The U.S. government led the world's nations in the number of requests, the company said. The Indian government was second with 4,559 requests, followed by Germany with 2,537 requests. GigaOM The new Facebook numbers came on the same day as a high profile appeals court case challenging NSA spy procedures, and at a time when Twitter and other companies are aggressively using so-called warrant canaries in an attempt to call attention to surveillance tactics. Overall, the tech companies' push for transparency is a welcome one at a time when the company is still digesting the Edward Snowden revelations.

Holly Willoughby Wine Glasses Image Source: www.stalkcelebs.com
Holly Willoughby Wine Glasses | Are you currently getting ready for a candle light dinner? There are some finer details that will take under consideration during that evening you are hoping would be perfect which would be the type of wine glass if you are. When planning on even a family gathering or an intimate dinner, wine glasses seldom do come into people's minds; little do they know that these glasses do come in sizes, various types and shapes that do not savor just any type of wine.
Wine glasses are referred to as stemware and from sipping through your wine, the taste you will feel has also much to do with all the glass. Hence, if you're planning a dinner for two, a larger glass using a bigger rim would be perfect as red wine is served throughout that occasion. The glasses that are larger concentrate the flavor and aroma of the wine directly to the person sipping on it. Through this you will not only be able to take pleasure in its aroma that would surround the glass but also the taste of your wine. Take into account that the opening of the wine glass shouldn't be larger than the base of it.
On things to look out for in a wine glass, next would be the type of material. Besides that, these materials also have an authentic feeling towards it and might be even kept as display items. They are perfect to look at and can certainly bring a whole new meaning in a date. Furthermore, glass and crystal glasses don't stain which allows one to keep them clean and shiny for a long period of time if proper cleaning is performed. Wine glasses should be washed with warm water as you don not want to see scratches to them at the finish of the day. Get a soft cloth, once you have done with washing them with mild detergent and wipe away the water.

Retired Olympic Swimmer Michael Phelps Suffers Ankle Fracture
Comments (0)
Michael Phelps attended the FINA Swimming World Championships on Sunday and surprised quite a few people by showing up in a walking boot.
According to Phelps's coach, Bob Bowman, Phelps apparently sustained the ankle fracture after hitting his foot, then participating in a golf tournament in which "he walked about 20 miles and got a little stress fracture."
It doesn't affect Phelps's career at this point, of course, now that he's retired. The Olympic gold medallist retired last year after the London Olympics and now holds a record 22 gold medals.
However, there is some gossip circulating that he may return for the next summer Olympic games, which will take place in 2016.
That would be an exciting turn of events.
If you have suffered a stress fracture and would like to set up an appointment with our office, you can contact us at 615-220-8788 or at our toll-free number 888-713-0906. You can also request an appointment online.

Group prayer—we do it all the time, but how often have we explored its peculiar dynamics? We talk to God, but with others listening in and (sometimes) joining their thoughts to our words. It is an activity in which we are often more afraid of a human audience than the audience of the Almighty One. It is both intimate and very public.
This 23-page collection of articles is designed to help anyone who ever facilitates a time of group prayer—for three people or 100. Glean valuable insights for helping everyone participate, in a way that is genuine, edifying, and God-honoring.

Content marketing isn't just for big brands.
Small or medium-sized businesses might feel they are fighting against the tide if they try to compete with larger, corporate organisations.
But smaller companies have some inherent advantages when it comes to content marketing.
And exploiting them means they can regularly use content marketing to help achieve their own business objectives.
Here are four ways small businesses can get ahead of their bigger, more established rivals.
Smaller companies tend to have fewer layers of management and fewer people involved in the sign-off process.
That means smart smaller companies are in a strong position to react quickly to current events and produce content that feeds off the current mood – which, in turn, is often more likely to gain valuable social traction.
With fewer stakeholders in the sign-off process, smaller companies can benefit from being less risk averse than bigger organisations.
That can lead to content that other companies would shy away from through fear of it not being 'on brand'.
When scrap merchants Dronsfields commissioned a survey on attitudes to Jeremy Clarkson, the results were far from boring – to the extent that some bigger brands may have opted to hold them back.
But, after being released on Dronsfields' blog, they went on to make national headlines and drive a number of backlinks.
Small companies can be perceived as more 'genuine' than big, corporate brands – often because their customers already know them in person.
That helps with brand loyalty and building a customer base that values your company and your products.
And it means your audience is likely to be more engaged with well-executed content from your business.
With limited marketing budgets and less overall activity, smaller companies can often get more clarity on the results of their content marketing.
They may be chasing visibility on fewer keyword search terms, or have fewer factors contributing to their web traffic.
But their ability to see the full picture quicker and more clearly than their bigger rivals means small companies are also perfectly placed to refine and adjust any content campaigns that aren't performing as they would wish.

We booked Moscatello purely because of the Tripadvisor reviews listed for 2012. We have visited Rome on numerous occasions and know what we are looking for now. It was exactly what we wanted. An inexpensive hotel, a short walk from Termini (10-15mins) Metro 5 mins away, which took us all over Rome for only €1.50 (100mins) tickets can be used on metro, bus or tram and we made our way with ease around the city. This is a small hotel, like many in the area, just one floor of a lovely old building. Other floors are private residential apartments so it felt like real Rome and not tourist Rome. It is set in a peaceful suburb (Asian district) we felt safe at all times and comfortable walking the streets even late at night. Our room was on a corridor away from the main reception and at the back of the building. It was shining clean, air conditioned,modern bathroom, clean towels everyday, bottled water in a little fridge, a complimentary bottle of white wine on arrival, we couldn't hear any traffic. We didn't see any staff from arrival to departure. It felt like our own private apartment. We wanted for nothing. It was fully booked with people of all ages. There is no breakfast, but there is a breakfast snack left in the room (no charge) and hot drinks are available at the reception. We preferred to breakfast in the lovely cafes nearby. We will definitley be back and will recommend it to seasoned travellers who want to experience Rome, not a hotel chain.....
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Breakdown Dead Ahead
This certainly sounds ominous:
The 300 U.S. advisers authorized to assist the Iraqi security forces will find an army in crisis mode, so lacking in equipment and shaken by desertions that it may not be able to win back significant chunks of territory from al-Qaeda renegades for months or even years, analysts and officials say.
After tens of thousands of desertions, the Iraqi military is reeling from what one U.S. official described as "psychological collapse" in the face of the offensive from militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The desperation has reached such a level that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is relying on volunteers, who are in some cases receiving as little as a week's military training, to protect his ever-shrinking orbit of control.
They wouldn't be lacking for equipment if they would stop abandoning it, but clearly people don't want to die for the cause. This cause, at least.
You remember when Cheney thanked Reagan for the military he had left for 41 to enjoy?
It's just amazing how quickly Obama could throw away the centurion forces Cheney left him in Iraq.
Let's hand John McCain a rifle and a (being generous) round-trip air ticket to Baghdad. Should solve the problem.
that doesn't sound good. Too bad all my Iranian sources are awol right now, I'd be curious what they know
@dmsilev: Cheney and Rumsfeld
I like Ann Laurie's suggestion better
Link fail, see her post from earlier today…
@Betty Cracker:
This seems to be the best concept that I've heard. Read somewhere there are still 25K people there. That sounds excessive even given everything that has happened in Iraq in the last 10-11 yrs. But then given everything that has happened in the last 10-11 yrs, excessive seems to be the byword.
If there are anywhere near 25K still there, getting them out in reasonable condition would be a less than easy task.
What could possibly go wrong?
Sounds jake to me.
There are a few names that could be added to that short list.
From now until the end of time, Iraq will be Exhibit 1 in "winning a war" doesn't equal "winning the peace".
should just let them kill each other as callous as that sounds. even lightweight help such as bombing, advisors and/or providing equipment just seems dumb and a waste of money. sending advisors requires security, puts ppl at risk. bombs just makes more enemies. sending equipment just ends up in the hands of violent guys.
God knows I don't know, but is this really as 'ominous' as all that? This excerpt talks about how difficult it is going to be for the Iraqi govt to regain lost territory, but in the last few weeks the panic has been about the complete collapse of the Iraqi government as ISIS advanced inexorably from the Sunni majority territory, where it now holds power, to Baghdad. Though partition is anything but wonderful, the country has been moving in that direction for a while, and it wouldn't be the all out catastrophe that doomsayers (who could still be proved right) were talking about. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of Maliki's volunteers are members of the former Shiite militias for whom the week's training is more of a refresher course. I doubt they'll retake Anbar or Mosul soon if ever, but I also doubt ISIS will be able to advance into Baghdad or points south soon if ever.
300 eh? I wonder if that number was chosen with some sort of irony in mind?
I am sure the manly Cons will all rush to man the front lines to prevent those Persians from overrunning Athens, err, Kansas City, I mean Baghdad.
You mean getting rid of all the Ba'athists after we invaded was a bad idea?
You mean the same hardline nationalist guys who are now teaming up with the ISIS nutjobs to try to take Baghdad?
Can't we just outsources this to Blackwater?
They wouldn't be lacking for equipment if they would stop abandoning it, but clearly people don't want to die for the cause. This cause, at least.
I damn well don't see why one more American has to die for this utter, total failure of a war.
The mister and I were speculating that the 300 "advisers" are actually relocation specialists.
@Betty Cracker: I believe this to be the case as well. Even if all 300 of these guys are Rambo and the Terminator rolled into one, there's not enough of them to do jack shit in any military sense of the word.
But they'd be pretty helpful getting the 25,000 Americans left in Iraq out. And I'd be shocked if anyone wanted to stay at this point.
Exhibit 2. Exhibit 1 is the US Civil War.
but I also doubt ISIS will be able to advance into Baghdad or points south soon if ever.
But someone has units all the way to Hillah, it appears. Well south of Baghdad.
Doesn't take many to cause a panic in the Iraqi Army, it appears.
should just let them kill each other as callous as that sounds
That's essentially where I net out. At some point, the three nations masquerading as a single country within the borders arbitrarily drawn by the Brits a long time ago might have been salvageable. Or not. Now, it clearly isn't. Time to face reality.
Exhibit 2. Exhibit 1 is the US Civil War.
Perhaps, but Lincoln didn't deserve what Bush and/or Cheney deserve. There should be a daily lottery on who gets to kick one of Bush/Cheney in the balls that day (and what crushing instrument they are allowed to do in doing so).
ISIS negotiated the surrender of arms in advance as a precondition for allowing the deserters and their families to live
The Iraqis realize that open carry just makes you a target for weapons thieves.
@dmsilev: We can send Dick Cheney with him too.
I blame Obama. He had 4 years to fix Bush's mistake
(no seriously, wingnuts are arguing this right now)
What if we dye their fingers purple? They'd be so inspired by freedom that there's nothing they couldn't do!
Let's hand John McCain a rifle and a (being generous) round-trip air ticket to Baghdad. Should solve the problem.
Forget the round-trip ticket. Let's let him fly the plane. That's always worked well for him.
@CONGRATULATIONS!: Who will be the last man to die for a mistake? I can't recall who said that exactly I think he ran for President, but his Purple Hearts were made of fake band-aids or something.
After reading the account of how the "Iraqi Army" seems to have melted away in the face of what seems like (and I'm no militarist, so I could be wrong in my estimations) a second-tier force of ISIS/ISIL, and seem to have little stomach for serious fighting, I couldn't help but wonder exactly just what having that residual US force in-country (as all the neocons and warhawks are castigating President Obama for "removing") would accomplish? True, it's likely ISIS/ISIL – whose main battle vehicle seems to be the Toyota Hi-Lux pickup – might probably skedaddle from a pitched battle with a US armored brigade, but otherwise, what? We would have live "boots on the ground" to waste trying to recapture Mosul or Falluja (again!) for an Iraq government/army that can't be bothered to do it for themselves? I'm sure Dick Cheney and John McCain are convinced that the very sight of the Stars and Stripes (or the nighttime buzz of a drone) would be enough to send the Sunni fighters scuttling away in fear, bit how likely a scenario is that?
Of course, since they have no more hostile an environment to contend with than a TV studio (and for them, that's hardly a free-fire zone), carping about military "what-if'"s is a cheap fight.
@SatanicPanic: Not just wingnuts. Paul Bremer was on BBC saying essentially the same exact thing. Isn't he the one responsible for DeBaathification?
The Iraqis realize that open carry just makes you a target for weapons thieves.
@Bobby Thomson: If I'm in a war zone and you come walking on my street with an AK, and I don't know you, I am shooting you.
I would think that would be pretty much SOP anywhere in the world, frankly.
whose main battle vehicle seems to be the Toyota Hi-Lux pickup
@Jay C: The Hi-Lux (AKA the "technical") has won several wars and looks to be the winning vehicle in Iraq and Afghanistan too.
The reality is that people will die because we destabilized a functional, secular country. We broke it. We are responsible. If that's something you can turn a blind eye to, then go ahead. I'm gonna wait until I hear back from Qussay that he and his family are safe before I just stop caring.
@srv: All 70 detainees died in the attack. Ouch. Makes one suspect sabotage in order to cut detainee housing and food costs.
Two Syria-related points that affect Iraq:
1. There were Iraqi Shiites fighting in Syria on behalf of Assad. They're coming home now to fight against ISIS.
2. As Syria (and Libya before that) has shown, its a lot easier for rebels to capture territory where they are supported to areas where they are opposed. Ghaddafi ultimately fell b/c of heavy international support for the rebels. Assad has faced far less international support for the rebels, and has managed to hold on (with help from Hezbollah, Iran, and those Iraqi Shiites). ISIS has no formal international support.
Finally, in Iraq, the Kurds are battling ISIS effectively, and captured Kirkuk, ostensibly at the invitation of the Iraqi government.
So while 30,000 Iraqi Army soldiers fleeing 1300 ISIS militants shows the absurdity of the Iraq project, I do not think ISIS will capture Baghdad. But there's still definitely a chance.
We broke it. We are responsible.
Agreed. But there is nothing we can do constructively (military solutions! ha!) to fix it.
How many years and how much money did we spend training the Iraqi army? I do not recall if the US Army did the training directly or if we hired contractors to perform the training. How much did we spend on buying weapons for them? And what kind of weapons were provided? My guess is a lot of Russian-made gear to match their pre-2003 equipment stocks.
I saw the former Iraqi UN Ambassador on TDS last week complaining that we didn't sell them F-16s. Their opposition was a bunch of guys in pick-up trucks with no heavy weapons or air support. I doubt lack of F-16s is really the major issue here.
@srv: Helps that the current Horde is not just composed of a bunch of religious nuts (ISIS). The Ba'athists, who didn't disappear just because we kicked them out of the army, are playing a role in all this. Sure would be ironic if after booting out Saddam, wasting a trillion dollars and countless lives, that we wind up with Saddam's Senior Executive VP in charge.
Finally, in Iraq, the Kurds are battling ISIS effectively, and captured Kirkuk, ostensibly at the invitation of the Iraqi government.
So while 30,000 Iraqi Army soldiers fleeing 1300 ISIS militants shows the absurdity of the Iraq project, I do not think ISIS will capture Baghdad.
Can Maliki hire the peshmerga to protect Baghdad?
We have completed the removal of Syria's chemical weapons:
The announcement marks a diplomatic and logistical milestone. Never before has a country's entire chemical arsenal been removed from its borders, and now the most lethal chemicals are set to be destroyed aboard a U.S. ship at sea. Still, some clouds hang over the announcement. Under a U.S.-Russian agreement reached last year, all 1,290 metric tons of chemicals were to be destroyed by June 30. With the final batch removed only Monday, that final destruction could take four additional months.
How many US lives were lost and shattered and billions spent training the army that ran away?
Meanwhile as military expert general wr0ng way Cole talks out of one side of his mouth about "ominous" problems with the Iraq army blah blah he is also wanking off about how much he hates drones and to just not do anything and let it all sort itself out.
The SAME guy who voted for G Dubya the Texas sized dummy TWICE…including right in the middle of the Iraq quagmire. Yes clearly General Cole has earned his stripes and should be taken even more seriously than Cheney!
The desperation has reached such a level that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is relying on volunteers, who are in some cases receiving as little as a week's military training, to protect his ever-shrinking orbit of control.
The Shah of Iran called. He says to get out while the getting is good.
@schrodinger's cat: I don't think I'll ever have the nuts to do something totally reckless and then act indignant when called on it.
"DUDE, I know, I wrecked your car, but you had like a MONTH to fix it and you didn't WTF BRO!?!"
I saw the former Iraqi UN Ambassador on TDS last week complaining that we didn't sell them F-16s
Vis a vis the get rid of the US AirForce thread at LGM, the Iraqis need to get together with the USAF and buy all of our A-10's. The USAF doesn't want them, anyway. They would be useful against ISIS.
The SAME guy who voted for G Dubya the Texas sized dummy TWICE…including right in the middle of the Iraq quagmire. Yes clearly General Cole has earned his stripes and should be taken even more seriously than Cheney!
Is this a parody? You do know who GW's Vice President was, right?
@Betty Cracker:
Remembering last month's story of rich New Yorkers paying profesional organizers twelve-hundred bucks per child to pack Muffy and Tad's bags for summer sleepover camp, I'm thinking Halliburton could turbocharge that job description and offer the service to the State Department. The only question is whether the fee would go up tenfold or teh-thousandfold?
@Morzer: wow. Good news.
I think Syria was afraid of a)US air strikes b)loose chemical weapons followed by being blamed when the insurgents use them. Both of these threats are reduced with the chemical weapons gone.
So, this is your vote for re-invading Iraq? Or do you actually agree with "wrong way" Cole on this one?
Maybe the 300 'advisers' are all Spartans, led by Victor Davis Hanson.
Of course, you know who wanted to bomb those said chemical weapons because MANLINESS!
@Morzer: You mean Iraq's chemical weapons. You know, because Saddam moved them there something something something
@Betty Cracker: Betty: According to Pat Lang, you and your husband are probably correct.
The roads to Kuwait run through this area. This could become quite important in terms of the ongoing NEO. […] Are there still two US Army combat brigades in Kuwait? the British "Mail on Line," indicates that there are 10,000 US military in Kuwait. But are these structured in maneuver brigades that could be useful in an overland NEO? The article also confirms the presence of USAF F-16s in Kuwait.
(From the first post, June 23, on his current blog page. NEO means "Noncombatant Evacuation Operation." Lang first mentioned the likelihood of the US getting its people out back on June 16.)
@Scott P.:
"Gentlemen, deploy the elephants and the hoplite phalanx!"
"General Hanson, we have no elephants and whatever a hop-light phallus may be."
Well yes, of course. That Obama is a wily rascal, I tell you.
They wouldn't be lacking for equipment if they would stop abandoning it, but clearly people don't want to die for the cause. This cause, at least.
Turning tail and running when the likelihood of being ruled by religious fanatics who think you're a filthy heretic worthy of scorn, derision and death is a strong possibility seems rather short-sighted and self-defeating.
Is this a parody?
I believe so, albeit not necessarily an intentional one.
@Morzer: Awesome. A real foreign policy achievement.
@Morzer: So, Obama was able to get chemical weapons out of Syria by threatening strikes until Russia blinked. I think I'm gonna really have to trust him when he says there's not much we can do about Iraq right now until the government gets it's shit together and begins trying to govern the whole country.
@Comrade Dread: I don't know if ISIS is actually going to be ruling anything. Rebellions like this rarely have a long shelf-life. As has been noted elsewhere, a Sunni militia overrunning a Sunni area isn't something to lose sleep over (unless you live there, too). ISIS isn't overrunning the Kurds and they aren't penetrating into Shi'ite districts, for the same reason that Kurdish and Shi'ite troops haven't fared well in Sunni districts.
Iraq is going to crack up into three (or more) states eventually, once everyone's done sorting themselves out on pain of radicalist slaughter by the opposing side. We're just seeing the shake up in progress and pretending we can do something about it.
@Ruckus: Every fucking neocon sack of shit, to include Iriving Kristol and Gertrude Himmelfarb.
These maggots need to spill their shit-filled-guts on Mesopotamian sands for the Likud racist state.
the Iraqis need to get together with the USAF and buy all of our A-10′s. The USAF doesn't want them, anyway.
Yeah, but let's make sure we don't get in a war with them later. Otherwise, our troops will end up saying, "Hey, those guys are getting EFFECTIVE air support. Our guys loiter over the battlefield for a whole two minutes before bugging out."
@Morzer: Good news!
@catclub: ISIS won't move on Baghdad. They've got a rep of invincibility to maintain, and assaulting Baghdad will tarnish it. They've been "conquering" Sunni areas that don't have the slightest desire to be ruled by Shia. Now, admittedly, they are a bit nutso Sunni, sort of like the Saudis, who should be erased from the universe…but they aren't going to press their luck by moving on Baghdad.
This is the breakup of Iraq after we very wisely removed the Sunni Strongman back in 2003, and basically invited the three main contending groups to fly their freak flags proudly.
Time for Operation Dumbass Drop. Everyone working for Fox and all the other right-wing mouthpieces/scribblers, all the policy pricks from Dumbya's administration, and everyone who voted to authorize the Iraq party get nabbed, thrown 'em on anything that flies and has a door suitable for throwin' Dumbasses out. Give 'em four juice boxes, four MREs, and a parachute each (no ID/papers and weapons; we're not at war with Iraq, you dig), fly 'em over there and throw 'em out in generalized "over Iraq" areas (undisclosed locations, of course. Dick'll approve of that).
Each one has a note in the local language reading "F*ck Allah, F*ck Iraq, and F*ck You." (tell THEM, though, that it says, "Hi, I'm with the U.S. Army and I'm here to help!")
@Morzer: Obama is amazing. One minute he's incompetent beyond anything the deserting coward and the Dark Lord dared to risk, yet in the next minute he's more ruthless and efficient and clever than Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Alinsky, and Jerry Rubin combined.
@Fort Geek: Biological weapons are banned.
@Villago Delenda Est: Also, this is what liberal interventionism looks like when it is done properly.
We're just seeing the shake up in progress and pretending we can do something about it.
We could do something, but it would involve offering political and religious asylum to a lot of Iraqis and I'm sure that would go over really well with the conservative crowds.
@Scott P.: If they are, they're 150 fighting couples.
@Comrade Dread: They didn't like it very much when we relocated terrified Vietnamese after the fall of Saigon, either.
They never want to deal with the consequences of their actions. Ever. Just ask veterans seeking health care in a timely manner, but wait for months because the VA is chronically understaffed.
All that equipment, money, and training wasted. Apparently its all pointless if the soldiers don't have a good reason to fight. Why is this such a difficult lesson for us to learn?
@Sloegin: The people in charge do not get up close and personal experience in the failure. They are carefully insulated from the human costs of their warmongering bravado. The Village, for example, learned nothing from the death of Michael Kelley in Iraq.
@Villago Delenda Est: That's the Theban ἱερος λοχος, the Sacred Batallion
This is how I feel — I just don't know what to do about it.
@Villago Delenda Est: Just out of curiosity, what other particular "maggots" would you say need to spill their "shit-filled guts" for the Jewish state? A few more names please?
I've been thinking this for a few weeks now. All of our (self proclaimed) enemies in Middle East are fighting and killing each other. I don't see how this is a "crisis" worth solving (if we could, which we can't).
No they'll just just intermittently cut of its water and flood it.
@Gopher2b: Well, part of the probable is the deaths. Suffering is pretty bad too. And among those dying and suffering people who just want to go to work in their job as plumber/teacher/etc. without getting blown up or shot. It's a crisis brought about as a direct result of US actions and it is worth solving. The problem is that we probably cannot do anything but make it worse if we intervene militarily.
@Villago Delenda Est:
That's what I had in mind. People not only too stupid to learn from their mistakes but to even recognize them as mistakes. And mind you these were not little mistakes, like asking for maple syrup from the wrong state, eg: New Hampshire syrup when in Vermont.
@Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name):
@Gator90: The signers of the 1998 PNAC letter to Clinton would be a good place to start for a who's how of the neo-con elite.
All that equipment, money, and training wasted. Apparently its all pointless if the soldiers don't have a good reason to fight. Why is this such a difficult lesson for us to learn?
The neocon attitude is "Shut up and don't rudely interrupt my theory with reality."
Neocons are ideologically incapable of recognizing the feelings or motivations of the little people who don't run in Village circles, whose only job is to be pliable pawns in their glamorous big plans. They're callous and abysmal at issues affecting American soldiers, so Iraqi soldiers may as well be livestock to them.
@Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name): details, details, my good man. I'm sure they could contract with Halliburton…to..er…yeah.
Okay, change the notes to "Hi, I'm a war criminal. Please direct me to The Hague! $5,000 each!"
@Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name):
The signers of the 1998 PNAC letter to Clinton
If we're going to reinstitute the draft, these people and their family members would be a good place to start.
Instead of 300 I think we only need to send 5 combat soldiers to Iraq – Bush, Cheney, von Rumsfeld, McCain and Lindsey Graham. Little time for training, but to paraphrase one of them, you go to war with the training time you have, not the time you want.
@Mike G:
They're callous and abysmal at issues affecting American soldiers, so Iraqi soldiers may as well be livestock to them.
They could sell livestock at a profit. They see no profit in the Iraqi soldiers. Well other than them being part of the MIC which more American soldiers could be used against. Other than that profit. IOW it's not an idea that would ever enter their shitty little heads, the consequences of war.
I'm pretty sure I've seen this movie before, back in 1975.
We don't know how to do "nation building;" we never did. If we did, there'd be a BMW in every garage in Haiti.
Why not partition the country? Would it have problems like India/Pakistan, i.e. having to move people based on their religion/sect?
A Boz Scaggs reference? Nice!
@RAM: ARVN would have held fast if it hadn't been for those hippies in Congress and just $100M more in aid.
@Citizen_X: In an auction, the US Army will outbid the iraqis
for the A-10s.
Flying the A-10s does require air superiority first, so the USAF would be shooting down the US Army A-10s.
The Beeb says:
Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski has called his country's ties with the US "worthless", a Polish news magazine says, providing excerpts of a secretly recorded conversation.
Using vulgar language, he compared Polish subservience to the US to
giving oral sex. He also warned that such a stance would cause "conflict with the Germans, Russians".
He also used a racially loaded term to describe the Polish stance – "murzynskosc", which suggests a slave mentality.
"[We are] suckers, total suckers. The problem in Poland is that we have shallow pride and low self-esteem," Mr Sikorski was quoted as saying.
The Chomsky Times is a little less proper:
"We will get a conflict with both Russians and Germans, and we're going to think that everything is great, because we gave the Americans a blowjob," the FM reportedly said.
President McCain's Secretary of State must be enjoying all his hummers.
@Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name): Neither of the "maggots" referenced by Villago Delenda Est was a signer of the PNAC letter, so VDE must be using a different standard of some sort.
We don't know how to do "nation building;" we never did. If we did, there'd be a BMW in every garage in Haiti.
@RAM: There wouldn't be blocks-long lines of truly desperate citizens every time Remote Area Medical decides to hold a healthcare event in a major American city, for that matter.
We should re-invade, pacify the country and initiate a program of de-Isisification. After things have settled down, say after about 8 years, we can pack up and leave. Then two years following that, when things get crazy again, we can re-invade, pacify the country again and initiate a program of de-Kurdisification. Then we'll be on another 8 year stint. Two years following that, when things begin to heat up in Iraq again, it will be 2034 and there is a small chance Iraq will be no longer be an albatross around Obama's neck, most of the worst of the neocons will be dead or dying and we'll be able to do four year pacification stints in Iraq instead of the normal eight year stints.
@srv: Isn't that Villager Anne Applebaum's husband?
The first paragraph of an article by James Fallows over on the Atlantic:
The diplomat and scholar William R. Polk (right) first wrote about the Middle East in the Atlantic back in 1958, in an article called "The Lesson of Iraq." Repeat after me: "the past is never dead…" In the past few years I've quoted his updated analyses many times, for instance on U.S. prospects in Afghanistan and on the tragedy in Syria.
Note the year for FSM's sake. After Cuba, Vietnam, Lebanon, Somalia, have we learned nothing? No need to reply I know the answer.
@Just Some Fuckhead: Hi JSF! how have you been? And how is your kitten?
@Gator90: You asked for more names of neo-cons, right? I gave them to you. Also, being rather familiar with VDE's oeuvres, I think he would include PNAC letter signers, but I don't want to put words into his mouth.
@SatanicPanic: I am not sure, Iraq has been strife torn for years now, I don't know how ethnically homogeneous the various regions are.
As for India and Pakistan, even to this day India actually has more Muslims than Pakistan.
Except from an essay by Franklin C. Spinney and William R. Polk:
…Last week, Mr. Obama, after months of procrastination, said he was considering sending weapons to the Syrian Sunni insurgents fighting President Assad. The most effective of these insurgents are the ISIS Jihadis who are fighting and defeating, as well as stealing or buying weapons from the other insurgents. This week Mr. Obama opened the door to the possibility of bombing ISIS Jihadis in Iraq to support the floundering Shi'ite government we installed. Yet, as Patrick Cockburn** of the Independent has reported, the ISIS Jihadis in Syria and Iraq are coalescing into one proto-caliphate in their common Sunni areas (see map below). This raises the real possibility that we could end up arming and bombing the same Jihadis. Such a development would increase the potential of unknowable blowbacks throughout the entire region, especially for the Kurdish ethnic groups in Syria, Iraq, Turkey, and Iran, as well as the state of Turkey itself.
@efgoldman: The world is going to end someday so why should we do anything about climate change?
I get what you're saying, and minding completely disagree, but I think people should understand that this is an ethical
Issue. By not getting involved, we are making an ethic choice to let people die based on actions we have taken, deaths that are arguably preventable. I'm not sure there is anything we can do, but flippantly denying it's our problem is not correct.
@Cassidy: …not our problem….
Can't edit in my phone.
General Sueleman and the Quds Force are on the ground, stabilizing the situation.
@Just Some Fuckhead: if we could synch the interventions with our recessions, it MIGHT help the economy. Halliburton stock, anyone?
@Higgs Boson's Mate: My understanding was that we were not going to arming ISIS but rather other groups of more moderate persuasions. In part, this would be to give them a better chance of being influencial down the road and, in part, to keep them strong relative to ISIS. Of course, nothing in this prevents ISIS from subsequently buying or capturing the weapons. We wouldn't be bombing people that we had directly armed. I doubt we will do any bombing at all – except as a part of an evacuation under fire.
We built a super-duper hardened Embassy compound at a cost of several hundred billion. WTF good is it?
Cheney, Bush, McCain, Wolfowitz, Feith and a host of others can just pick up their guns and report for duty at the Embassy to protect their fellow citizens (and Iraqi civilians working for the Embassy).
Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, all happy families are the same. Every failed intervention has its own issues. China, VietNam, Iraq. Successful interventions? Korea? Maybe Greece? Philippines? Besides decades of authoritarian rule, a lack of restive minorities a key to 'success'? (Philippines has minority issues, but it's not a quagmire/failed state.)
@Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name): No, I didn't ask for names of neocons. I asked VDE this: "what other particular 'maggots' would you say need to spill their 'shit-filled guts' for the Jewish state?" It was a very specific question.
Every fucking neocon sack of shit, to include Iriving Kristol and Gertrude Himmelfarb.
These maggots need to spill their shit-filled-guts on Mesopotamian sands for the Likud racist state.
The full text of the comment that kicked off this little discussion. It should be quite clear from context the "maggots" are the neocons. If it is not, then I really don't know what to say.
@p.a.: From what I've read the 'George Washington' of korea and the Philippines happened to be on our side. With George Washington being a metaphor for the leader that can tap into the nationalist/historical narratives of the country. Ho could do that in Vietnam, regardless of what you think of him as a leader or mass murder, whereas the French speaking Catholic Diem could not.
I'm not sure there is anything we can do, but flippantly denying it's our problem is not correct.
The problem is that the Shia and Sunni have been fucking with each other off and on for nearly 1300 years. The situation in Iraq was inevitable whether the agents of conflict were ISIS or an internal rebellion by Iraqi Sunnis.
There are no good answers. Only those that are less worse. Should we get out completely? Should we try to treat Iraq as a nation we have diplomatic relations with? Should we retain a force there? I'd say #2 or #1. Nothing else has positive value and would require more attempts at nation building, something we(just like any other nation has historically been) are horrible at. The people of Iraq want a nation, they have to build it. We have to learn how to live with what they build, something neocons have never understood. OK that's just part of a very long list of things neocons have never understood.
FWIW, I think the reason Irving Kristol and Gertrude Himmelfarb are specified is because they are the parents of neocon asshole Bill "Always Wrong" Kristol. VDE is wishing that Bill Kristol's parents had never conceived him, not making a general anti-Semitic slur.
I hope your friend is ok. Right now I am worrying about my best friend who is trying to care for refugees and displaced persons while dealing with constant threats from al Shabaab.
The situation in Iraq was inevitable whether the agents of conflict were ISIS or an internal rebellion by Iraqi Sunnis.
And all we did was make the situation worse.
Sure would be ironic if after booting out Saddam, wasting a trillion dollars and countless lives, that we wind up with Saddam's Senior Executive VP in charge.
@MomSense: So do I. He's Sunni, in the Army, hot tempered, and his family is from Baquba.
@Higgs Boson's Mate: That's a very simple and not completely true answer.
Didn't the surge work because we bought off the Sunnis? Isn't that when al Qaida in Iraq pulled up stakes? When the Sunni tribes are ready to get rid of ISIS, they will. When there is an incentive for the Sunnis to kick them out , they will. It might be a Sunni state, a semi-independent state, oil money, or whatever, but they will play those suckers. Why should the Sunnis do the heavy lifting when ISIS will take the load. ISIS are not locals and will be eventually pushed outs less they become locals. BTW, this can even apply if the war zone includes Syria. ISIS has a very small level of support and the ethnic ties will trump them.
That's what I learned from dub and dick's oily adventure.
@D58826: We had two Gods on on our side in Japan. One literally, and the other, figuratively in his own mind.
@RAM: Actually, we did a pretty good job with that task post-WWII. Of course, the recent warmongers pay zero attention to what that group (who took the burden of trying to nation build very seriously) actually did. They just misuse history rather than learn from it.
@Mnemosyne: Had Bill Kristol never been conceived, the world would likely be a better place, no argument there. But VDE at #59 was not suggesting a time machine that would prevent BK's conception. He used the present tense to describe "maggots" who need to die for Israel, which he apparently blames for US militarism. His two specific examples of such "maggots" (though one is already dead) who need to die for the Jewish state were, as it happens, Jews. I was just wondering what other maggots who need to die for Israel he might identify. I'm not accusing VDE of anything; I'm just, you know, curious.
His two specific examples of such "maggots" (though one is already dead) who need to die for the Jewish state were, as it happens, Jews.
Yes, two specific Jews who were married to each other and produced Bill Kristol as their spawn.
I really think you're reading too much into it, though I agree it does have some unfortunate implications if you don't know who Bill Kristol's parents were and think it's just two unrelated Jewish intellectuals rather than a husband and wife.
ETA: Thought experiment — if he had said, Every fucking neocon sack of shit, to include George HW Bush and Barbara Pierce, would the point have been clearer?
Miss Me Yet?
The only incidence of having missed Bush is that Iraqi who threw his shoes at him.
I'm not sure what VDE's "point" was, which is why I asked him. Yes, his comment would have sounded different if he had named a couple gentiles, but that's not what he did. It would also have sounded different if he had talked about them spilling their shit-filled guts for something other than Israel, but that's not what he did. So unless/until he chimes in, I am left with my curiosity.
@Gator90: All neocons. Every last one.
Or, as Omnes noted, the signers of that ridiculous letter to Clinton in '98.
Let them and their children die for Greater Israel's security.
@dmbeaster: the only relevant history from WWII we learned was that every negotiation is Munich and every meeting of allies is Yalta.
@Mnemosyne: The problem with Irving Kristol and Gertrude Himmelfarb isn't their religion or ethnic background.
The problem is they're neocons, and, as you noted, they spawned the utterly useless waste of skin that is Bill Kristol.
@Mike G:
You didn't click, did you?
@SiubhanDuinne: I didn't until your comment.
@Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name):
Well, when I consider how often I comment on things I haven't actually read, or seen ….

and big eye'd drew 'er chin up, face towards the stars. dark genesis squisht tween little lit-uppers. and big eye'd, a looker-upper list all the things 'e saw. 'e saw a blind child sitting, spread into nodes, knotted through the sky blanket.
as we stare up into the sky i think we might be looking through a covering sky darkness made of space fabric continually weaving and unraveling. and holes from this blind child's nobby parts sticking into the spaces inbetween the weaving, created through the poking. and light comes out, and shines on us. as we stare into the sky, we see the light reflecting on everything reflect back up through the holes and what we see is the light bouncing back and bounce back and bounce back light, over and over. as we stare up into the sky we stare back down at ourselves, staring back up at the sky, and the light moves. and this moving.. and mixed with there and here, creates what we see. i think i think.
dark genesis eyeballs stick out 'er big eyes at a passing vehicle, sighing, but actually stops. gets out. fades to black.
fades to white. fades to black with some spots. fades to white with some spots moving.
light genesis creeps in. the small blind child grows. the blanket eventually grafts to 'er skin. and we are part of the sky. and we become the blind. and small-eye'd, but with many big-eyes now a'part of us. and this apart of us and this uh apart of us, so we may feel apart.
but i think i think lines are just arrows and bridges. membranes of transport. sight upon sight. reverberating space. residual grease.
then what is disconnection? poking your eyes out for completing the oroboros? when sight is now a lost part of the equation.... we are nothing and empty ? as i empty
i place myself to death
on the ground i kneel to kiss my forehead
and rise to walk the earth like death
to walk the world blind, having put aside your eyes, and some still with theirs,
to shock stare like big-eye'd into the stars. to draw sight in and out as breath.
and see what comes. and feel what comes.
these hands learn then to be feet.
when my hands work like feet i will feel real.

MOSCOW, June 26. /TASS/. The leader of Russia's parliamentary lower house said on Friday that the European Union's decision to extend economic sanctions against Russia represented a direct violation of a United Nations Security Council resolution.
Speaking at an Open Tribune session at the State Duma, Speaker Sergey Naryshkin said that European Union governments were "sabotaging" Ukraine peace agreements reached in the Belarusian capital Minsk in February, which "have in fact become part of one of the UN Security Council resolutions".
"Our partners seem not to notice that extension of anti-Russia sanctions and various accompanying gestures take place not only in circumvention of the UN Security Council but also in direct violation of its unanimously adopted resolution," Naryshkin said.
A decision to prolong the sanctions, which expire at the end of July, was made by European ambassadors in Brussels last week and approved at a meeting of foreign ministers early this week in Luxembourg.

Use a weaving technique, a recycled paper bag and eco-friendly craft products to make an attractive and earth-friendly place mat. All the products used to create this charming place mat are eco friendly. The tacky Green Glue is completely botanical. Even the paints contain no or low VOC's (volatile organic compounds).
- Brown Paper Grocery Bag
- Eco Green Crafts™ Green Glue™
- Eco Green Crafts™ Acrylic Paint
- Eco Green Crafts™ Gloss Medium
Make Strips
- Deconstruct paper bag.
- Measure and cut 2-inch-wide strips along the entire length of the bag.
- Working with one strip at a time,dampen the strip with water to remove any creases. Fold down 1⁄4" along one edge of the length of strip, as shown.
- Fold the opposite side so that it just overlaps the edge of the previous fold, as shown.
- With the iron set on high, iron the strips to dry and flatten them, and to strengthen the creases.
- Apply a thin line of Green Glue™ along the 1⁄4" edge.
- Turn strip over (folded side down); iron strip smooth.
- Repeat process to create a total of eleven 24" strips and seventeen 18" strips.
Weave and Finish
- With tape, affix the 24" strips to a piece of cardboard as shown.
- Weave shorter strips through longer strips, alternating each strip, as shown; affix each strip with Green Glue™ and allow to dry.
- Remove the cardboard and tape; cut the ends of each strip to about ¾".
- Paint as desired with Eco Green Crafts™ Acrylic Paint; allow to dry.
- Brush entire surface with Eco Green Crafts Gloss Medium; allow to dry.
- Roughen / distress the surface of the mat with sandpaper as desired

UK-based 3sixtymedia has installed four Snell & Wilcox Kahuna SD/HD multiformat production switchers at The Manchester Studios, standardizing its three studios as well as the Starlight Theatre on the Kahuna system.
3sixtymedia produces live entertainment programs for UK TV broadcasters, such as ITV and the BBC, and by standardizing on the Kahuna, the company has achieved efficiency in adapting its studios and workflow to meet the requirements of these different productions.
Like the Kahuna production switchers installed in Studio 8 and Studio 12, a four-M/E switcher installed in Studio 6 features a separate master auxiliary panel, six remote auxiliary panels, four channels of DVE and an 80-input option. The two-M/E Kahuna system installed in the Starlight Theatre ensures compatibility across the facility's switching systems.

My healing session with Rebekah was amazing, what I avoided for years was released in a very powerful but nurturing environment. I felt complete trust in Rebekah and I have never had a session like it. If you have a past that haunts you, let Rebekah help you to release. I'm telling all my friends! – Kelly Morgan
If patterns are deeply rooted we need to dive deep into the subconscious to remove the karmic ties, ancestral chains and emotional scars that just won't seem to dissolve.
I have many shamanic tools in my tool box, gleaned over twenty years of walking this path and we will use the right ones for your specific needs to ensure the best outcome.
Some of the shamanic practises I use:
- Guided visualisations,
• Chakra healings and clearings,
• Energetic healing
• Cutting the energetic ties that keep us locked in the past,
• Connecting with our inner wise woman/man,
• Soul retrievals,
• Past life regressions
• Finding our power animal
• Office and Home clearings
A one off session is £150 and are held at my shamanic studio in Brixton and lasts between 1.5 to 2 hrs
*Concessions available
"I was referred to Rebekah's work by friends who were impressed by her unique yet personal approach to coaching. Rebekah used a combination of intuition and other tools to look at my issues and help me become more grounded. More and more of my history around the situation started to appear – my feelings, emotions. Using her shamanic skills, Rebekah gave an explanation of what needed to be looked at. At no stage did she ask for my family history, there was no need. Shamanic work uses energy and intuition. Sometimes we worked on healing events that happened in my life and sometimes healing ancestral issues and beliefs that I was still carrying (unconsciously) and kept impacting on me.
Using a soul retrieval process, we met the people who were carrying pieces of my life force energy with them. As I journeyed towards the people who were connected to my feelings of stuck energy, I felt very safe. I could hear her shamanic rattle accompanying me everywhere I visited, releasing stuck energy and returning it to my body while I could speak to the blocks directly. I could feel the energy changing from day one and have felt it much easier for me to focus on what I want to do since then; bringing my body and mind back into harmony." Ms R Henderson,Uk
