Aside from running a mine that racked up 3,000 violations and $2.2 million in fines, he is someone that virulently fought against any kind of regulation or oversight. He got stooges and cronies of his chosen by Bush to the MSHA review commission that decides all legal matters under the Federal Mine Act with predictable results, busted unions, constantly downplayed worker safety, declared it more important to "run coal" than follow things like safety regulations, derided obvious and necessary laws, decreed all his opponents were like bin Laden, threatened and assaulted reporters, and became a darling of the Fox News Hannity set. He really earned the titles "evil bastard" and "the 7th scariest person in the US" that Grist dumped on him.
So now it's kind of funny to look back and see the kinds of things he said about safety, regulation, and government oversight now that this disaster happened. Not "funny- haha", but more of a "funny- people are dead because of this man" type thing. Which is to say, not funny at all.
At his Labor Day anti-union rally last year, Massey CEO Don Blankenship attacked the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), claiming it "seeks power over coal miners." He mocked both "Washington politicians" and local elected officials who attempt to ensure miner safety:You really need to thee the video in the link, he literally draped himself in the American flag when he said this. But it's interesting that he says that the idea that anyone cares more about safety than him is as silly as global warming. One, literally anyone in this country could be seen as caring more about miner safety, as long as they don't end up resetting the "greatest mining tragedy" record before Blankenship does.
We also endure a Mine Safety and Health Administration that seeks power over coal miners versus improving their safety and their health. As someone who has overseen the mining of more coal than anyone else in the history of central Appalachia, I know that the safety and health of coal miners is my most important job. I don't need Washington politicians to tell me that, and neither do you. But I also know — I also know Washington and state politicians have no idea how to improve miner safety. The very idea that they care more about coal miner safety than we do is as silly as global warming.
Secondly, as silly as global warming? You mean an easily tested a proven theory that has the almost universal support of the scientific community? You're right, Don. That sounds almost as ludicrous an idea as letting someone who won't literally exchange bodies for money look after workers. I guess it's one of those far out ideas like "venting methane gas from a mine". I bet some egghead scientist told you that'd be a problem too. You sure showed them.
Not that it's all bad news and mining tragedies for Donny. He hit a bit of good luck today as Standard and Poor upgraded Massey stock from Hold to Buy, noting that the financial impact of a mine exploding and killing 29 people would be immaterial to the bottom line. Hey, sounds like Blankenship was vindicated. He can trade lives and safety for money. Good for him. I guess everything worked out.

;welcome to chapter 25! i don't own the Avengers. M.O.T.H and I own the plot and any OC's;
Kat sat on the couch scribbling down notes on graphing paper. She was nearly ready to start her "Irongirl" project. Now she just needed to make the plans by hand.
The cry of outrage from her uncles lab made the genius jump. Kat pulled up a security camera shot of what was happening.
Ironman was currently in a tug-a-war over the boot of the ironman armor with one of the thunder gods horse-sized goats. Kat smirked as she watched Eri zap the goat in the butt to make it release the foot.
The young genius turned off the image and got back to scribbling down notes for her own suit.
Eri came back upstairs and sat on the couch across from Kat and opened her French text book. She looked up at ironman's niece. "Your building your own suit aren't you?" She whispered.
Kat grinned and winked from behind the sketching paper. "Don't tell Uncle Tony." She whispered back. Eri shook her head and went back to work on studying.
after having gone through two erasers and a whole bottle of whiteout, both girls decided to take a break. They huddled on the couch in their pajamas eating cookies and watching Supernatural.
"Charlotte invited me over to her house for a sleepover, and said that you were going too." Eri said through cookie bites.
"Charlie really wants to get to know you, that's all. I tried to tell her that you two would get along since you're both so girly." Kat replied taking a bite of her own cookie.
The demigoddess shook her head and turned her attention to the TV.
Kat new Eri had trouble interacting with regular people. but she thought it'd be a good chance for Eri to get out of her shell and meet someone who's parents didn't fight crime. Either way she still had 2 weeks to make up her mind.
Charlotte Kikkert pulled the warm and fluffed feathered-down blankets out of the dryer about to haul them downstairs to the basement when the doorbell chimed at the front door.
The burnet sighed and looked over at her younger brother who was currently sitting at the kitchen table reading Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban on his kindle.
"Philip, can you get the door please?" Charlie asked as she made her way downstairs.
The twelve-year-old huffed and glared at his older sibling before leaving his kindle, "They're your dumb friends."
Phil opened the door to see both Eri and Katherine standing on the front porch with duffle bags, and sleep bags in their arms. "Charlie's downstairs." He muttered in greeting and went back to his kindle.
Eri looked over at Katherine. the mutant shrugged as they made their way down into the basement. Charlotte squealed in delight and practically knocked both girls over when she hugged them.
"I am so glad you both you could make it!" Charlotte chirped as she rearranged the blankets, the basement was fully furnished and the floor tiles were heated. Kat popped open herself a soda as Charlotte went over the selection of music and movies for the night.
"...and Eri and I are going to give Kat a make over, and send a photo to Dan." Charlie finished giggling.
Kat choked on her soda. "What?" She demanded. "I never agreed to this!" Charlie giggled. "You don't have a choice."
Kat and Charlie went back and forth for a while with Eri sitting uncomfortably in the middle. Finally, the genius gave up and hoped for the best.
While Charlie was braiding Kat's hair, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it true that Jason Barton kissed you?"
The Demigoddess's face turned pink as she dropped the fistful of popcorn back in the bowl. "Who told you that?" She asked.
Kat smiled sheepishly and slowly raised her hand, "Guilty." She muttered.
Eri sighed and took a sip of water. Finally she muttered "He kissed me."
Charlie grinned, and tugged Kat's hair causing the genius to wince. "So are you two dating then?"
The Daughter of Thor shrugged, "I don't know, he never asked me, he just kissed me."
Katherine sighed and took an angry bite out of a cookie, "Bird-Brain you are so stupid sometimes…"
"Am I really? Please, tell me what I did now, Kat…" A sarcastic reply came through her mind.
The niece of Ironman swore. "You weren't supposed to hear that…" She answered quickly and closed the telepathic connection she had accidently opened with her mutation.
Charlie waved a hand in front of Kat's moss green eyes, "Earth to Kat, what color eye shadow do you want?"
The mutant sighed at her best friend, "I really don't care, Charlie. Just don't make me look like a clown.

Today, on the official website for North Carolina athletics (GoHeels.com), an article was posted regarding CNN's allegations towards the school regarding the lack of "college-literate" students participating in athletics at the university. CNN declared its own threshold for what a college-literate student actually is, and it was all based upon their SAT and ACT scores. According to the article, a college-literate student scores a 400 on the critical reading and writing sections of the SAT or a 16 on the ACT. CNN used information given to them by a university learning specialist named Mary Willingham, who said that 10 percent of the student athletes that she tested were illiterate and basically did not belong at the university, regardless of their athletic ability. In the GoHeels.com article, the university states that Willingham did not represent the school in their report, and that the information that CNN observed from her was false.
If CNN actually consulted the university as a whole for their report, then they would have found out that since 2004, more that 97 percent of the student-athletes enrolled in the university actually met their threshold. Of the 39 students that did not meet the threshold, 34 of them have graduated or are on the right path towards graduating from the university. In a previous article, I outlined the current investigation by the NCAA regarding the "paper classes" put into place to boost the grades of the student-athletes because they were essentially not college ready. I mean, if more than 97 percent of the student-athletes came into the university meeting CNN's threshold, then why would the university need to have them attend these paper classes? If this information is found to be true, then it would severely help the school in being found innocent towards these allegations.
Like I said in my previous article, if the Tar Heels are found to be guilty of the allegations, they can be stripped of their 2005 and 2009 national championships and head coach Roy Williams can face some serious consequences. This is really just another distraction off the court that the Tar Heels do not need or want right now. They are 0-3 in the ACC and are blatantly struggling in all aspects of their game. How could they focus on improving their shooting percentage and defensive tactics if they have the threat of major suspensions hovering over them?
Many fans do not really focus on it, but these athletes have a lot more on their plate than just basketball. If their whole academic purpose at the university is taken care of and in the clear, then they can focus more on the athletic portion of their scholarship. Right now, the Tar Heel basketball team needs to focus on their athletic ability more than anything. In their past three games, they have been dominated on all aspects of the court. They are shooting well below their normal average, turnovers are haunting them tremendously, and they are currently looking up in the standings at teams that are far less talented than they are. The NCAA needs to do whatever investigating necessary to put this to rest at last, so that the Tar Heels can get back to focusing on their goals of being successful in March.
This information is a huge breakthrough to the entire scandal, and only time will tell just how important it is regarding the university's innocence. Right now, the team can rest easier and prepare for their important matchup against Boston College on Jan. 18 in which they hope to receive their first conference win.
This is not a situation to be taken lightly, because these athletes are supposed to be students first, but with 97 percent of the students declared college-literate, the NCAA may need to reevaluate their accusations.

text: NEW YORK: The United Arab Emirates was rated as the Arab world's happiest country on Monday. In the worldwide index it stood at 21.The Nordic nations are the most content, according to the World Happiness Report 2017 produced by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), a global initiative launched by the United Nations in 2012."Happy countries are the ones that have a healthy balance of prosperity, as conventionally measured, and social capital, meaning a high degree of trust in a society, low inequality and confidence in government," Jeffrey Sachs, the director of the SDSN and a special adviser to the United Nations Secretary-General, said in an interview.Sachs would like nations to follow United Arab Emirates and other countries that have appointed Ministers of Happiness."I want governments to measure this, discuss it, analyze it and understand when they have been off on the wrong direction," he said. Norway displaced Denmark as the world's happiest country in a new report released that called on nations to build social trust and equality to improve the wellbeing of their citizens.Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland, Finland, Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Sweden rounded out the top ten countries.South Sudan, Liberia, Guinea, Togo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Burundi and the Central African Republic were at the bottom.Germany was ranked 16, followed by the United Kingdom (19) and France (31). The United States dropped one spot to 14.Sachs said the United States is falling in the ranking due to inequality, distrust and corruption. Economic measures that the administration of President Donald Trump is trying to pursue, he added, will make things worse."They are all aimed at increasing inequality - tax cuts at the top, throwing people off the healthcare rolls, cutting Meals on Wheels in order to raise military spending. I think everything that has been proposed goes in the wrong direction," he explained.The rankings are based on six factors -- per capita gross domestic product, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, social support and absence of corruption in government or business."The lowest countries are typically marked by low values in all six variables," said the report.Agencies

The Youth Enterprise Development Fund was created with the mission to fostering and promotion of entrepreneurship, typically in the form of micro, small and medium businesses/enterprises. This mission if fully implemented would see the improvement of the livelihoods of youth across Kenya and unyoke them from systemic poverty.
Since 2006 when the fund was established, there has been drama and intrigues at the fund with a lot of political interference in its management. The fund has unfortunately been converted away from its mandate and a few individuals have been enriching themselves. This has to stop.
A few people who have been entrusted with the noble responsibility to steer the fund to greatness have failed and taken to act on behalf of their self-serving interests. The recent blatant theft of 180 Million is an example of the bad publicity that Kenya is receiving today. I the current scandal, a construction company was awarded a tender to provide IT services. The tender was awarded irregularly against the procurement laws.
With the exit of the Chairman paving way for investigations into the irregular award the 180 Million, it is the call by young people of Kenya that the rest of the Board members will follow suit to step aside so that a team that is qualified and passionate about uplifting Kenyan youth can be put in place to do what is right on behalf of the many millions of youth who need the fund's support.
This petition is at mobilizing the support of all young people to get the youth fund back on a track of developing young people's enterprises that need a financial boost for their enterprises.
This petition therefore demands as follows:
1. THAT a team of professionals be appointed to carry out an audit of the successes and failures of the fund and an institutional strengthening plan be put in place;
2. THAT the Youth Fund be properly constituted through an Act of Parliament and a sustainable policy framework set up for its operations;
3. THAT a seat on the Youth Fund Board be set aside for a nominee elected by the youth or in such a consultative manner by the youth sector stakeholders through a popular process;
4. THAT the board must be accountable to the youth through quarterly reports released for the consumption of the public;
5. THAT a review of the fund's strategic plan be instituted to ensure its priorities are aligned to the economic emancipation of the youth of Kenya and a rapid plan to restore the credibility of the fund implemented;
6. THAT all senior staff and Board Members undergo a lifestyle audit for accountability and transparency in their service;
7. THAT an oversight authority be established to oversee the studious implementation process of the board.
8. THAT a judicial process to ensue immediately to prosecute officials implicated in the loss of funds from the Youth Fund in the current allegations.
9. THAT the youth organizations in Kenya to participate in promoting the uptake of the fund by the youth and in holding the fund managers accountable.

This summer holiday has been a small saviour for me and, even if I do say so myself, it has been greatly deserved.
It was getting to the end of the year at college and I didn't feel like I was functioning right. I was tired all of the time, I was stressed and relieved when I was able to go home. All of this did not give me any kind of positive mind-set. Therefore I was counting down the days obsessively until the end of the year (about four weeks towards the end). I see I'm not painting a good picture of college but I felt drained, but I'm sure it will be worth it... In the end *shivers*.
I've never appreciated a break more than this year. I'm sleeping a full night's sleep, drifting off easily because I've got nothing to worry about and waking up with happiness: another day of something good. I can chill out with my friends or have a lazy day and go out in the evenings without thinking about homework or coursework or revision. And heck it feels guuuuurd (that good I'd start a sentence with "and").
One day in the summer I got up, read a few chapters of a book, got ready for the day, saw a friend, watched a movie, sunbathed and saw another friend and do you know why that's fab? It's fab because I'm doing lots in a day because I want to. I'm not being forced to go to a place that's causing me too much stress for a day or do a presentation that causes me to want to cry (not that I'm bitter or anything).
So far I am having the best summer. You know when people talk about being refreshed after a mini break or epiphany... or deciding to become a naturist? Well, I've had that (whilst being clothed). I feel so so so refreshed and new and my mind feels free. It's unbelievable what a break can do for you.
I just feel positive. I feel happy and motivated and excited about plans I'm making for my days in summer as well as my future plans. That feels good. It should be known that I actually, underneath all the stress and occasional tears (and when they come, there are lots of tears), I actually like college but this summer, this break for all of the stress has been amazing.
I'm now off to eat five pots of jelly, arrange a cinema trip and meet a friend to eat chocolate. Perfection? I'd say it's pretty close.
Video Games & Milkshake,
The Girl in the Moonlight.

I don't love Sarajevo yet, but I think I will soon. This week feels like a whirlwind, and I am inclined to believe the rest of my time here will feel much the same. It is a strange juxtaposition to be in a place where life slows down, but the hours never feel like they are dragging by – at least not yet. I love this piece of Sarajevo. I love sitting in a café for hours at a time or eating dinner, drinking wine, and letting conversation carry the night on in a steady pulse.
Sarajevo truly awakens at night. Granted, Ramadan accentuates this rhythm, but it feels as though it is the underlying, ceaseless beat of the city.
The day trip outside of Sarajevo on Wednesday highlighted the felt dichotomies of a post-conflict city. Or, at least, this post-conflict city. Walking down the 1984 Olympic Bobsled course riddled with the evidence of shelling and also marked by the contemporary expression of graffiti artists created a strange oscillation between [1] my excitement of picturing eager attendees trying to catch a glimpse of the athletes barreling by and [2] a reverberating somberness of the wartime realities.
The Snipers' Nest and Jewish Cemetery were also moving for me – particularly after reading memoirs and watching documentaries from civilians living in Sarajevo throughout the siege. I was initially surprised at the range of the snipers' positions in the hills further removed from the city, but transitioned to a sense of unsettling injustice at the proximity of the cemetery to the city. Not that I will come close to understanding the actual experience of life under a sniper's scope, but finally could watch people stroll the streets below and picture the apartments once filled with trepidation – it was surreal and enraging and insightful and sobering.
It is a sobering reality that people are driven to kill by an authority that demonizes the ethnic and religious differences previously appreciated and celebrated within communities. I am so appreciative to be working in this post-conflict society, and wish I had much longer than 8 weeks to gain a deeper understanding of what is under the shell of peace in Sarajevo. I am not suggesting that violence is still rumbling under the surface, but it is an indication of civil unrest when a local Bosnian friend states that "Bosnia is like Namibia" in terms of development and opportunity. The stagnation of economic and civil progress perpetuated by a political stalemate is not surprisingly resulting in despondency.
I appreciate the honesty of the Bosnians I've encountered, and I sincerely hope that peaceful answers will surface for the movement of Bosnia out of its 20-year-old "transitional" government.
As I anticipated, the geography of the surrounding area is incredibly beautiful. We hiked to Lukomir, the highest populated village in Bosnia. The name translates to "harbor of peace," and it is a self-sustaining Muslim village that was almost entirely spared from the war because of its difficult access. I love the historical richness of this country, particularly places like Lukomir, where family roots run deep and tradition, story, and hospitality pulse through the community.
I am excited to dive into my internship at the Post-Conflict Research Center this next week, and am looking forward to the various experiences my colleagues will bring home from their respective organizations. I am thrilled and tremendously grateful to be here, to continue to adjust and settle in to my home for the summer, and to learn from the beautiful and poignant narratives of life in Sarajevo.

1. What is the difference between a conjecture and a theorem?
A conjecture is equivalent to a hypothesis in natural sciences: it is an educated guess by mathematicians on a subject in math, and is open to debate. Conjectures can be disproven by others. Conjectures are not proven: once they are proven, they become theorems.
A theorem is a further step to a conjecture. It is a conjecture that is demonstrated and proven. In math, once something is proven, it is forever true. For example, the Pythagoras theorem, where the square of two sides of a right-angled triangle will always equal the square of the hypotenuse, will always be true no matter what is happening to the world.
2. In the video Eduardo Saenz de Cabezon uses the example of people being surprised that folding a normal piece of paper 50 times, will reach a thickness as high as the sun. He challenges us to 'do the math' and see that he is correct. What do you think meant when he said that Maths dominates intuition and tames creativity? Do you agree with this?
What Eduardo Saenz de Cabezon was saying is that Mathematical logic can sometimes bring us really far to places that people have never dreamed of, especially when it draws us away from all other factors in reality that might contradict with a mathematical idea.
Implicitly, Cabezon is saying that our intuition is limited by reality, and this is quite true, because intuition is mostly based on one's experience and extending it further with ideas. Math is extending reality: except unlike intuition, it brings our daily problems away from the context of reality and puts it in a field purely based on reason. Unlike intuition, the experiences supporting knowledge in Math is conscious. In the example, math takes our observation of folding paper and extends it by asking us what happens when we fold it 50 times?
But can it be said that the maths dominate intuition? Even though maths can be proven true, and that truth stays eternal, but math is confined to mainly its own area of knowledge. However, intuition is a way of knowing: it can be used in any area of knowledge. We might even find a new area of knowledge through intuition in the future!
Furthermore, there are parts of math that require intuition, so intuition might dominate math as some parts of math might not exist without it. This occurs especially in pattern recognition, where it just naturally comes to you.
3. Saenz de Cabezon claims that the truths in maths are eternal. Do you think this gives maths a privileged position in TOK?
This question basically aims to answer the question do eternal truths have a privileged position in TOK? In a way, this does make math have a privileged position as math is the only area of knowledge where truths are eternal. It is a special characteristic of knowledge that I believe should be regarded higher than knowledge in other AOKs.
Yet, there is the other side of the argument that math is only 1 area of knowledge out of the other 8. It cannot fully represent other AOKs. Even though the AOKs overlap, such as maths playing a huge role in the foundation of physics, but for example, math cannot explain the concept of why gravity exists. Math can be used to determine the magnitude of gravity on an object or explain how the magnitude got its number, but math cannot explain why there is the gravitational force between two objects: that knowledge rests in physics, or the natural science AOK.
4. List any of the knowledge questions related to maths that came out of your discussion in class.
- What makes math the area of knowledge where something holds true forever once it is proven?
- Was math invented or discovered?
- How can one be sure that knowledge in math holds true forever?
- Why is 1 + 1 = 2?
- Can theorems be disproven?

Parippu curry is a favourite of Keralites; and hence, I guess, it has got a significant place in every household and in the minds of every Keralite..A must for onasadhya and during Vishu too.. My hubby, who says a strict no-no to veg curries, 'gulps' a significant amount of rice when it comes to making this dish at home.. and I love to watch it.. The deadly combination of rice with ghee sprinkled/poured over and parippu curry, along with pappad is his all-time favourite. Am sure this would make you 'feel good at tummy' too...
Moong dal (Cherupayar parippu) : 100g
Turmeric powder : 1/4 tspn
Green chilly : 2 nos.
Curry leaves : 2 sprigs
Coconut Oil : 3 tbspn
Grated coconut : 1 cup
Cumin seeds : 1/4 tspn
Garlic : 3 pods
Shallots : 10 nos.
Red chilly : 2 nos.
Mustard seeds : 1/4 tspn
Salt : as required.
- Wash moong dal thoroughly and dry roast slightly for a few minutes.Remove from fire and keep aside.
- Along with 150 ml of water in a pressure cooker, add turmeric powder, green chillies slit lengthwise, 1 sprig of curry leaves, 5 whole shallots, salt and 1 tbspn coconut oil. Wait for 3-4 whistles and remove from flame and keep aside.
- Grind grated coconut along with cumin seeds and garlic.
- Once the cooker depressurizes, open the lid and add the above ground ingredients and cook under medium flame. Add water to reach the consistency of your choice, if less.
- Add 1 tbspn of coconut oil to it. Check salt and add if required.
Take a pan and pour the remaining coconut oil. Once hot, add mustard seeds and allow to splutter. Add finely sliced shallots along with dry red chillies cut into pieces and curry leaves(tempering). Remove from flame once golden brown.
- Pour the above ingredients to the dal curry and mix well. Remove from flame.
This goes best with rice (as described earlier) and chappathi.
This can also be made with Thuar dal / thuvara parippu. Try it out..

Suzlon was the largest wind turbine generator (WTG) manufacturer in India who aspired to be a dominant global player. The company took on large amount of debt to acquire a position for itself the global wind turbine market.With the global turmoil around the time period of 2008, its global aspirations soured and the company was saddled with debt which it could not service. The financial instability of the company not only severely dented its global aspirations but also dented its market share in the domestic market.
More than 95% of the market cap disappeared in thin air. Suzlon has been making losses for the last many years and the company is now fighting to regain its number one spot in the Indian market while struggling to servicing the debt it has.
So do we buy the stock?
- It appears that the management has recognized the mistakes it made. It has corrected its mistake by selling its assets to reduce debt and not be shy of reducing its own stake in the company.
- We are quite confident that Suzlon will take a 40-50% share from the new capacity which would be built out given the government plans to have 60GW installed capacity of wind energy by 2022
- We are reasonably confident about the around 16% EBIDTA margin performance.
- We believe that the realizations per MW of installed capacity will improve given its technical capabilities to deliver larger diameter WTG's
- We like the large installed base of Suzlon which drives the service component of its revenue. It provides superior margins and and predictability to the quarterly revenue.
While we like the fact that Suzlon is quite near to the milestone of returning to profitability, we cannot envisage the temporary/ permanent misses along the way to repay its debt. We are also uncertain about the further dilution of equity which may take place.
We have a lots of confidence in its operational capabilities; we are scared of its financial position.
We have not considered the impact of its foray into the solar business. We will be watching progress on this front quite closely and hope its not another capital allocation mistake. However, given Suzlon's operational capabilities we are not unduly alarmed by the upcoming solar business.
Where is the margin of safety?
There isn't any! How can any safety exist in a stock which has lost more than 95% of its value from its peak. Invest in Suzlon if you
- like taking risks
- have the patience to wait for the turnaround story to unfold
- have deep pockets like Dilip Shanghavi and don't mind investing some loose change on a risky bet
If things work out you could seriously multiply your money or else what more to expect from a stock which has lost more than 95% of its value from the the peak

Decadent Raw Chocolate Bars
July 6, 2012 § Leave a comment
Who does not love chocolate?! This recipe kind of just materialized during its making, just simply starting with the coconut oil, agave and the cacao powder, adding ingredients along the way… It is really decadent, and not for the faint-hearted, as the amount of both Coconut Oil and Agave is fairly high, but I have also added a rather good range of nutrient-dense Superpower-Powders to sort of make up for the calorie content and the general richness of the chocolate bars, so you should not feel too guilty indulging in one (or more!) of these:) And; it´s also ingredients for a fairly large batch of chocolate:)!
Raw Chocolate Bars (of the very decadent, full-fat kind)
- 12 T Coconut Oil
- 8 T Agave Nectar
- 8 T Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Cacao Powder
- 2 T Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Lucuma Powder
- 2 tsp Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Maca Powder
- 2 tsp. Organic Raw Peruvian Carob (I used RawLiving by Kate Magic)
- 2 tsp.Cayenne Powder
- 2 T Navitas Naturals Organic Raw White Mulberries
- 2 T Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Goji Berries
- 3 tsp Vanilla Powder
- approx.1 tsp.Himalayan Salt
- 1 tsp Ceylon Cinnamon (or Cassia if you don´t have Ceylon)
- 50 g.Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Cashew Nuts, roughly chopped
- 50 g.raw unsalted Almonds, roughly chopped
Raw Licorice Caramel Latte
April 18, 2012 § Leave a comment
So, it`s day 8 of Cleanse America here in Denmark, and although my spirit is strong as ever after 8 days of cleansing, I´ve seriously been in need of something sweet today:) This "Latte" completely cures my sweet-cravings, so if you´re in for something sweet for that sweet tooth of yours today, maybe this´ll do the trick?;)
The recipe yields one large portion, although I think some of you might find the sweetness and fullness of it generous enough for two:) My sweet tooth is at least sufficiently satisfied after about 1/3-1/2 cup!
The recipe is adapted from the Christmas Recipe E-book of raw food chef and naturopath Ida Kirk Foged of http://www.rawfood-livsstil.dk/, but reworked with Raw Licorice, Cinnamon and Ginger; three spices very dear to my heart:)
As for the recipe:
- 3.5 dl Almond Milk
- 2.5 T Lucuma Powder
- 1 T Raw Mulberries
- 2 small dates or 1 Medjool
- 1 T Chia Seeds
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Raw Licorice Powder
- 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1 pinch Vanilla Powder
- 1 pinch Himalayan Salt
Blend all ingredients in a blender, pour into a glass, and let it rest for 10-15 min, allowing the Chia Seeds to soak and the latte to thicken. Enjoy!
Superfood Goji-Berry Cacao Concoction
April 16, 2012 § 2 Comments
So, as a part of me joining in on the Cleanse America Event (will make a post about Cleanse America shortly!), my poor low-tech blender has really been put to the test these last few days since the cleanse started on Monday the 10th of April. I have found myself being slightly hooked on, and more or less in craving over smoothies all the time now, and as I do not yet own a juicer, or a Vitamix (ranks no.1 on my wish list!), I have chosen to turn to smoothie-heaven for my daily liquid-love:)!
This particular smoothie has the last couple of weeks become my go-to-smoothie in the mornings, as it is very dense in nutrients, giving my body some powerful fuel to get-up-and-going, as well as it fills me good and well up (buttercup!), making my energy levels last long up until mid-day when it´s time for lunch (and possible yet another smoothie, I should add;).
The recipe could be made without some of the ingredients, without loosing the majority of its taste and lushness (banana, strawberry, goji-berries and cacao excepted), but I find that I like to know that I am putting many vital nutrients into my body, doing it good, at same time as my taste buds gets that sweet taste of, oh; something sweet. Desserts always taste even better when they´re a bit healthy too, or what?;)
Here is the recipe;
For the Smoothie
- 100 grams banana, frozen
- 100 grams strawberries, frozen
- 40 grams Goji Berries
- 2 tsp Lucuma
- 2 tsp Cacao Powder
- 1 tsp Bee Pollen
- 1 tsp home-made High-Protein Concoction*(freely adapted from Paul Risse´s Rockin´Wellness Powder, that you could get here http://www.rockinwellness.com/products/the-original-recipe )
- 1/3 tsp Chlorella Powder
- 2 dl Almond Milk
- 1-1.5 dl Hemp Milk
- 2 dates (or 1 Medjool Date)
For the High-Protein Concoction*
- Equal amounts* of (I took large scoop of each);
- Raw Cacao Powder* (double amount)
- Raw Lucuma Powder
- Organic Matcha Powder
- Golden Flax Seeds
- Brown Rice Protein Powder
- Chia Seeds
- Hemp Seeds
- Probiotics
For the Garnish
- Goji Berries
- Hemp Seeds
- Cacao Nibs
- Coconut
- Bee Pollen
- White Mulberries
Throw all ingredients into a blender, and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve with garnish of choice, and don´t forget to enjoy:)!

RAW Brownie On Royal Grounds
January 3, 2012 § Leave a comment
In response to the last few weeks´famed "Buttercrisis!" in Norway (..Is that even a word?!..), this could be a RAW, and in my view, healthier, and let alone tastier alternative to the low-carb/high-fat diet that so many Norwegians have gotten themselves in on, and one of the reasons to the current shortage of butter from animal origin in the country; a RAW Brownie With Lucuma -"Caramel"- Icing and Shredded Coconut–concoction. No butter needed!
It may not be all that low in carbohydrates, as the cake is loaded with dates and coconut oil, but then these are natural sweeteners, not refined…Which is always a good thing…:) And yes; loaded with good fatty acids from Cashews, Almonds and Coconut Oil. High fat or low fat, high in carbs or low in carbs, good or bad; it´s just cake..! And it tastes good…Endulge yourself. Meet. Cake.
(Published through Navitas Naturals at http://www.navitasnaturals.com/recipes/raw/raw-lucuma-caramel-brownie.html)
For the cake:
- 2 cups of RAW, unsalted almonds, roughly chopped in a blender (or by hand)
- approx. 5 cups pitted dates
- 2 cups Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Cacao Powder
- 2 dl.Coconut Oil
- some cold water (if you´re not using Medjool Dates)
- a good pinch of Sea Salt
Put all the ingredients except for the chopped almonds in a good blender, and blend until you have a fairly smooth Cocoa-Date-paste (should be sticky and real heavy). Then remove the paste from the container and over into a bowl, toss the almonds in as well, and use you´re hands to blend it all well together. "Pour" the paste for the cake over into a plastic-wrapped brownie form, and use your hands to distribute the paste evenly across the form.
- 2 large tablespoons of Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Lucuma Powder
- 4 dl.of RAW, unsalted cashews (soaked over night)
- approx. 2 dl.water
- 4 dl. pitted dates
- 1/2 teaspoon of good-quality vanilla powder (optional)
- a good pinch of Sea Salt
Put all the ingredients into a good blender, and blend until completely smooth. Pour the frosting over the brownie-paste, and sprinkle with plenty of shredded coconut.
RAW Choco Deluxe Smoothie
September 29, 2011 § 1 Comment
I woke up this morning feeling like I needed some extra sweetness to my usual, oatmeal breakfast, and made this RAW Choco Deluxe Smoothie. It is such a good, and, hold on: surprisingly healthy way to start the day, especially at days when you feel like you need the additional "sugar" to get yourself going, without turning to the more conventional sources that destabilizes your blood sugar levels and send them racing.
The recipe goes a little something like this:
- 1 deep-frozen banana (peeled and cut into smaller pieces before freezing)
- 1.5-1.75 deciliter Almond Milk (or any other nut milk)
- 3 teaspoons of RAW Cocoa Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon of coconut oil
- 2 teaspoon Lucuma Powder
- 2 teaspoons Chia Seeds (soak for approximately 20-30 mins) or 1 large teaspoon Lecithin Powder
Blend all the ingredients well together in a blender, and serve in a tall glass. Add more fluids if you find it too thick. I personally like a little bit of thickness to it, without it going all pudding-like. If you feel like adding the additional flare to it, you could sprinkle it with Gojis, Bee Pollen and RAW Cocoa nibs, as I have done here. You might not get all the sprinkle through your straw, but that will just give you a wonderful surprise in the end, and can easily be solved with the help of a spoon!
RAW muesli
September 26, 2011 § Leave a comment
Inspired by my RAW Food cooking class yesterday, I have just made a jar of homemade muesli. It is ridiculously easy, and really tasty!
The recipe goes like this:
- 1 deciliter rolled oats
- 1 deciliter rolled buckwheat
- 1.5 deciliter raw pumpkin seeds
- 2 deciliter dried mulberries
- 0.5 deciliter gojiberries
- 1 deciliter sunflower seeds
- 0.5 deciliter hemp seeds
- 0.5 deciliter dried coconut
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 teaspoons lucuma
- 0.5 teaspoon ground carnation
Just blend it all well together in a bowl using your hands, so that the spices stick to the dried fruits and the oats, and serve with fresh berries, yoghurt or cold nut milk (my favorite is almond milk)! Feel free to experiment and alternate the recipe by adding other dried fruits (such as figs or dates), nuts or other Superfoods. I basically just added the things I had filling up my (very limited) cupboard space, and as I am rather weak for Mulberries, mulberries make up a decent part of this muesli…!

I do not fully agree with everything in all of these books, but most of them are of much value and the historical content of some is very revealing for our post modern church. This list is intended as a jumping off point for those who are serious about issues and willing to do their homework.
McLoughlin, Emmett, Crime and Immorality in the Catholic Church, Lyle Stuart, New York, 1964. Emmett McLoughlin lived in the house behind them in Sacramento. I heard of him much as I was growing up. This book paints a picture of the Catholic Church, that many do not see. We have seen the recent child molestation charges, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. The truth is that the Catholic Church is filled up to the brim with the idolatry and is waiting for the ultimate judgment of God to fall on her. The pope is really not what he is pictured to be but is immoral to the very heart.
Hodge, Charles, Systematic Theology, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, Grand Rapids, Mich., 1970. Charles Hodge was of the old school reformed theology. Not everything he says is correct, but when it touches the important issues of Reformed Theology he is right in there. His treatement of natural theology and special theology is excellent. His treatment of issues such as Roman-ism is also excellent.
Sanford, Dr. J. C. Genetic Entropy & The Mystery of the Genome, Elim Publishing, Lima, New York 2005. The fly leaf of this book states that "Dr. John Sanford has been a Cornell University Professor for more then 25 years (being semi-retired since 1998." This book is a very fine treatment of genetics as it is related to Darwinism. The author knows what he is talking about having been envolved with genetics, both as a professor and as a researcher. This book does require some background in science, specifically biology.
————, Answers Academy, Biblical Appologetics for Real Life, Answers in Genesis, Petersburg, KY. ,2005. This work is a study in various approaches to apologetics as it concerns the Biblical doctrine of Creation. This is also a work book used as a study guide.
Whitcomb, John C. and Morris, Dr. Henry AThe Genesis Flood, The Biblical Record and its Scientific Implications, The Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company, Philadelphia, PA. 1961. This is the classical work on the subject of the Genesis Flood. This is where I started in my life long defence of the Bibles teaching concerning both the flood and creation. This was the first book that I aquired on this subject, and it was given to me by my brother. If you have questions, this book might have the answers.
Jarrel, Dr. W. A. Baptist Church Perpetuity-The Continuous Existence of Baptist Churches from the Apostolic to the Present Day Demonstrated by the Bible and by History, Published by the Author, Dallas, Texas, 1894. This book is the classic treatment of this topic from the viewpoint of Landmark Baptists. Some of his conclusions are a little bit of a stretch, but for the purposes of showing that the Catholic church does not go all the way back to the apostles it shows that they are not by themselves with that claim.
Hislop, The Rev. Alexander, The Two Babylons or The Papal Worship proved to be the Worship of Nimrod and His wife, Loizeaux Brothers, Neptune, New Jersey, 1916. This book is vital reading for any one studying apologetics from the view point of Protestants. This is the true, but almost unheard of picture of the Roman Catholic Church. Certainly this is the whore mentioned in the book of Revelation. Very interesting take on the number of the beast.

What a Waste
I don't know why I'm surprised that BBC2's The Big Allotment Challenge was a big pile of stinking manure. After all, this is the broadcaster that has put competitive misery into making cakes and cooking dinner with the stressful The Great British Bake-Off and the dour MasterChef; but I thought allotments had moved on from the image of an old boy in his cycle clips gazing anxiously and admiringly at his highly polished giant onions ahead of the village show. However, halfway through Tuesday night's programme, I stopped watching after the allotmenteers' radishes were judged on their shape, perfection and uniformity. The judges didn't even taste them – and this a salad vegetable that you eat raw.
I have blogged before about the forward-thinking site where I have my plot and how it is important as a source of food and community. There are annual prizes for the best-kept plots, to encourage people to keep on top of their allotments, but there are no competitions for the biggest or most pristine produce to intimidate beginners, or those who simply want to get cheap food out of the ground. Although plots are rented from the parish council, the day-to-day management of communal areas and the organising of community events are carried out by members of the allotment association.
The worst thing about The Big Allotment Challenge is that, in a contradictory age of food poverty and food waste, it perpetuates myths that growing food is difficult because it has to look perfect. Growing radishes is the simplest thing: throw some seeds on the earth, lightly cover them with soil and a few weeks later, tasty radishes. Supermarkets and growers waste tons of food every year because of their perception of the superficial demands of the customer. A programme like this should have been an opportunity to show that growing food is easy and inclusive. Sadly, that opportunity has been wasted too.

Excerpt from JOHN PILGER "The Silent Military Coup That Took Over Washington", The Guardian (September 11, 2013)
Under the "weak" Obama, militarism has risen perhaps as never before. With not a single tank on the White House lawn, a military coup has taken place in Washington. In 2008, while his liberal devotees dried their eyes, Obama accepted the entire Pentagon of his predecessor, George Bush: its wars and war crimes. As the constitution is replaced by an emerging police state, those who destroyed Iraq with shock and awe, piled up the rubble in Afghanistan and reduced Libya to a Hobbesian nightmare, are ascendant across the US administration. Behind their beribboned facade, more former US soldiers are killing themselves than are dying on battlefields. Last year 6500 veterans took their own lives. Put out more flags.
The historian Norman Pollack calls this "liberal fascism": "For goose-steppers substitute the seemingly more innocuous militarisation of the total culture. And for the bombastic leader, we have the reformer manqué, blithely at work, planning and executing assassination, smiling all the while." Every Tuesday the "humanitarian" Obama personally oversees a worldwide terror network of drones that "bugsplat" people, their rescuers and mourners. In the west's comfort zones, the first black leader of the land of slavery still feels good, as if his very existence represents a social advance, regardless of his trail of blood. This obeisance to a symbol has all but destroyed the US anti-war movement – Obama's singular achievement.
In Britain, the distractions of the fakery of image and identity politics have not quite succeeded. A stirring has begun, though people of conscience should hurry. The judges at Nuremberg were succinct: "Individual citizens have the duty to violate domestic laws to prevent crimes against peace and humanity." The ordinary people of Syria, and countless others, and our own self-respect, deserve nothing less now.
Note: A couple years after the Bush war on Iraq had commenced, those with whom I had debated the legitimacy of the war and who had reversed themselves asked, "So how did you know the war was a con job? Why were you better informed than the rest of us?"
Simply I was better informed because I did NOT rely on the New York Times or the Washington Post. I read foreign press and alternative news. My primary source for REAL news was The Guardian published in Great Britain. The Guardian has been a consistently honest and accurate purveyor of the news.
Check out http://www.theguardian.com/us.
Postscript: Posts are frequently scheduled several days in advance of the date of actual posting. Since excerpting the afore-posted essay it has been reported that the Obama Administration has reached an agreement with Russia and other nations to seek the destruction of all chemical weapons in Syria. This is a welcome development and the DISSENTING DEMOCRAT joins much of the world in supporting this agreement as an alternative to an American unilateral bombing mission.

Hendey Sunset (Wooden Pattern Shop)
PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNAL: For some time I have tried to give my answer to the question first formally posed by Edward R. Murrow and again later on National Public Radio. I call myself an atheist, but a classification by negation does not follow the phrase, "This I believe." Being and the will to be, fill me with awe. Everywhere I look I see nature striving, not only to survive and reproduce, but to perfect itself; its not always pretty. Creation appears to contain will. The will to be is there in stone and the sun's burning and precedes what we call life which forever experiments, striving until it finds better ways to be. The processes of selection have given humankind a brain unique to our sphere. It has given us two unique powers: dominion over nature and the knowledge that we are part of nature, part of a complex, balanced organism we call earth that exists in time. If anything is holy, it is the fertility of that organism, our common self. Together we must learn to pilot our biosphere. To do so we must learn to settle our differences justly and fulfill the Needs of all. To say the least, the challenge is daunting. Is this the challenge all life is pointed toward throughout Being?
The human brain is a child of Being. So far as I can tell, being is eternal. How could it be otherwise? The meaning of humanity, which we sometimes call the meaning of life, depends on our ability to continue being. More than that we will never know. Eternity is now. Anything else is, at best, beside the point.

I take random drug test for work and have been suffering with a chest cold . I was coughing the other night and couldn't stop and I used a co workers . It worked .
Michellelhi, Alrhough I'm glad you are feeling better, I do not recommend you using another persons inhaler just because of the random germs that you can pass back and forth through saliva which you may not even be aware of on the inhaler. The Albuterol inhaler does work fairly well though to open up your bronchial airways. good luck to you, and don't worry about your drug test for something like that. trust me, they are looking for mind altering substances, that is all. NIK
Very true ! And thank you !

The University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison; WI, USA) has received a 5-year grant to establish the National Center for Quantitative Biology of Complex Systems. The research team hopes that the new center will provide a hub for training and the development of next-generation protein analysis technologies.
While MS is already capable of recognizing proteins, researchers hope that new techniques can be developed to speed up protein analysis in a leap akin to the vast increase seen in genetic research in the last 20 years. Parallel processing is an area of particular interest in the development of new approaches to protein quantification. David Pagliarini (UW-Madison) commented: "…we plan to push the limits on pace, depth, throughput."
The new Center has been granted US $6 million from the NIH. Josh Coon (UW-Madison) adds that it will both develop and make accessible new protein analysis technologies: "These are complicated, high-end instruments that hundreds or thousands of biomedical researchers who are funded by the NIH need access to. There are many problems that are not solved with current technology, and that high-throughput mass spec can address."
Of particular interest are the areas of lung cancer and diabetes. "We have researchers who want to examine proteins related to the function — or failure — of the pancreatic cells that make insulin," added Coon.
Co-investigator Lingjun Li (UW-Madison) will develop markers for the identification of individual samples after they have been mixed for MS analysis and Coon will develop metabolic tags for protein tracking. "We are not developing technology in a vacuum," remarked Li, "but with specific biomedical needs in mind. Our methods will be broadly available to NIH researchers, and they will be the test bed that validates our methods, and will further push technology development."
Pagliarini added that the team "will serve as a bridge between technology development and biological applications. Our future collaborators have made clear that they have biological problems waiting for solutions in new technology. Our emerging tools are sure to help jumpstart their projects."
"The NIH wants the center to invent and disseminate technologies," concluded Coon. "We hope to do for proteins what high-throughput sequencing has done for genomic studies."

Tired of the same old, same old when making new year's resolutions? Disillusioned by previous attempts to adopt a new exercise routine, cut certain foods out of your diet, and stick to a monthly budget? I've got just the thing for you: No Impact Week.
You can think of No Impact Week as a seven-day cleanse... of carbon! That's right, this is a week for experimenting with greener lifestyle choices and challenging yourself to live without certain luxuries you probably take for granted but don't necessarily need. You'll get a chance to take a hard look at your carbon footprint and use those fine-tuned problem solving skills I know you have to reduce or eliminate some of its sources - especially the ones that eat away at your pocketbook without actually contributing to your quality of life!
Once you sign up, you will receive a how-to guide, a short survey about your current lifestyle, and daily challenges, ideas, and resources. There will be many opportunities to share your experiences over the course of the week with blogs, pictures, and discussion forums. Most importantly, you will be connected with other participants to share tips and support.
After the week is up, you'll get a chance to complete the lifestyle survey again and measure the change you've made, and if you're really keen, you can register to become a No Impact Ambassador in your community. Feel free to make a cape and send me pictures!
No Impact Week is the brainchild of Yes! Magazine and Colin Beavan, who lived as No Impact Man for one year in New York City. Watch the video to find out what he accomplished and to get an idea of what the week will be like for you:
The countdown is on... the week kicks off on January 2nd!

Meet JR, short for Jack Russell. He's an embassy dog who travels with his human companion, a diplomat named George. Just as he is getting really comfortable with living in Dublin, he finds out that they are moving to Moscow. It is not too long after his arrival that he is already bored with his mundane life; he would really enjoy having more than just the short "walkies" George offers him. He wants to run freely like he did on the sea shores of Dublin.
One day, JR can't stand it any longer and escapes from his home. While he manages to get home the first time, he begins to go out regularly. He befriends some of Moscow's strays, who show him around town to see some of the museums and famous streets. Mostly they walk, but sometimes they jump on the subway to get around. All the while, rumours are spreading amongst the strays that an increasing number of them are missing. While his friends continue to be gracious in showing him around, even those in their close circle are going missing. He tries to help, but being a small embassy dog, JR is limited in what he can do — or so he thinks. Little does he know that he is the key to helping the strays of Moscow to cross their boundaries and rescue their friends.
Delaney's book, inspired by real dogs that travel around Moscow, is a treat to read. Travel with JR among the streets of Moscow, and feast on the the foods and aromas within the city (especially the mouthwatering Kroshka Katroshka stuffed potato delicacies!).

Friends and family -
Mission work, as a Christian, is what we have all been called to do in some capacity. Some are called to other nations while the rest are called to do it right here in our backyards. I feel that God is calling me to the mission field abroad. My heart breaks for the lost and especially the ones who have no access to the word. It is hard to think that people all across this great big world of ours can be born, live their lives and then die (stats from Dr. David Platt) without ever knowing about Jesus Christ. Living in the west - we have the opportunity to pray and worship as we please. We are not bogged down with laws that keep us from choosing a Church to attend and we are not kept from choosing which religion we want to practice. I hope that you all are Christians and faithful believers that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That Jesus lived and died for you and for me. He was persecuted for us. Isaiah 53:5 - "But he was pierced for our transgressions," he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
Through the sufferings of Christ, we have the ability to live eternally, to live side by side with Jesus in Heaven. He took our sins upon himself and nailed them to the cross. He graciously died for each one of us so that we could live eternally with him.
I am blessed, I had the opportunity to be raised in a Christian home. My parents taught me about Christ and I accepted Jesus into my heart at a young age. As I grew up, I began to rebel and I turned from God. For about 14 or so years I lived a life of material and worldly things that kept me from knowing and walking with Christ the way I should. I was brought to my knees about 2 years ago after a time where I was truly digging a grave for myself. I knew there was no other way but with Him. I am thankful and grateful and try to live my life according to God's will daily.
In saying this, at the young age of 12, I felt that God was calling me to missions. I abandoned that to live a more secular life. I do not regret my past, though wish I had made the change long ago to follow Christ in a more passionate way. The past has molded me and it has helped me because in my past my heart broke in ways that I think I would never have known if I had not walked the path I took.
The great thing about Christ is that you can ask for forgiveness with a gracious and remorseful heart and he will wipe them clean. You will be forgiven.
I want nothing more than to help others to know more about Christ. To turn from sin and to live a life that is Godly and a life that this world will never be able to match. There is nothing that this world can give you, God provides all. He is our supplier.
My time is coming soon to go out and help in spreading the word to all nations. I don't know if I will start in one place and end up in another. I ask that you, my brothers and sisters, will pray that I will be able to discern which direction to go. My heart is heavy for several places right now. I know that God is in this and the right place will be given.
I love you and I am praying for you who is reading this. If you need anything, want to discuss how God can help you, please feel free to ask. I am here.
May you find strength in God's love and mercy.
Many blessings -

A little known fact of WWII is that Japan attacked North America several time. Aside from the Pearl Harbor attack, the other attacks were relatively unsuccessful
Below a summary of some of those attacks.
On June 3–4, 1942, Japanese planes from two light carriers Ryūjō and Jun'yō struck the U.S. military base at Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands, Unalaska, Alaska.
Originally, the Japanese planned to attack Dutch Harbor simultaneously with its attack on Midway but it occurred a day earlier due to one-day delay. The attack only did moderate damage on Dutch Harbor, but 78 Americans were killed in the attack.
On June 6, two days after the bombing of Dutch Harbor, 500 Japanese marines landed on Kiska, one of the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. Upon landing, they killed two and captured eight U.S. Navy officers, then took the remaining inhabitants of the island, and seized control of American soil for the first time.
The next day, a total of 1,140 Japanese infantrymen landed on Attu via Holtz Bay, eventually reaching Massacre Bay and Chichagof Harbor. Attu's population at the time consisted of 45 Native American Aleuts, and two Americans – Charles Foster Jones, a 60-year-old ham radio operator and weather observer, and his 62-year-old wife Etta, a teacher and nurse. The Japanese killed Jones after interrogating him, while his wife and the Aleut population were sent to Japan. The invasion was only the second time that American soil had been occupied by a foreign enemy, the first being the British during the War of 1812.
A year after Japan's invasion and occupation of the islands of Attu and Kiska, 34,000 U.S. troops landed on these islands and fought there throughout the summer, defeating the Japanese and regaining control of the islands.
Bombardment of Ellwood
The United States mainland was first shelled by the Axis on February 23, 1942 when the Japanese submarine I-17 attacked the Ellwood Oil Field west of Goleta, near Santa Barbara, California. Although only a pumphouse and catwalk at one oil well were damaged, I-17 captain Nishino Kozo radioed Tokyo that he had left Santa Barbara in flames. No casualties were reported and the total cost of the damage was officially estimated at approximately $500–1,000. News of the shelling triggered an invasion scare along the West Coast.
Bombardment of Estevan Point Lighthouse
More than five Japanese submarines operated in Western Canada during 1941 and 1942. On June 20, 1942, the Japanese submarine I-26,
under the command of Yokota Minoru,fired 25–30 rounds of 5.5-inch shells at the Estevan Point lighthouse on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, but failed to hit its target.Though no casualties were reported, the subsequent decision to turn off the lights of outer stations was disastrous for shipping activity.
Bombardment of Fort Stevens
In what became the only attack on a mainland American military installation during World War II, the Japanese submarine I-25, under the command of Tagami Meiji, surfaced near the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon on the night of June 21 and June 22, 1942, and fired shells toward Fort Stevens. The only damage officially recorded was to a baseball field's backstop.
Probably the most significant damage was a shell that damaged some large phone cables. The Fort Stevens gunners were refused permission to return fire for fear of revealing the guns' location and/or range limitations to the sub. American aircraft on training flights spotted the submarine, which was subsequently attacked by a US bomber, but escaped.
Lookout Air Raids
The Lookout Air Raids occurred on September 9, 1942. The only aerial bombing of mainland United States by a foreign power occurred when an attempt to start a forest fire was made by a Japanese Yokosuka E14Y1 "Glen" seaplane
dropping two 80 kg (180 lb) incendiary bombs over Mount Emily, near Brookings, Oregon. The seaplane, piloted by Nobuo Fujita, had been launched from the Japanese submarine aircraft carrier I-25. No significant damage was officially reported following the attack, nor after a repeat attempt on September 29.
Fire balloon attacks
Between November 1944 and April 1945, the Japanese Navy launched over 9,000 fire balloons toward North America. Carried by the recently discovered Pacific jet stream, they were to sail over the Pacific Ocean and land in North America, where the Japanese hoped they would start forest fires and cause other damage. About three hundred were reported as reaching North America, but little damage was caused. Six people (five children and a woman) became the only deaths due to enemy action to occur on mainland United States during World War II when one of the children tampered with a bomb from a balloon near Bly, Oregon and it exploded. The site is marked by a stone monument at the Mitchell Recreation Area in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. Recently] released reports by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canadian military indicate that fire balloons reached as far inland as Manitoba. A fire balloon is also considered to be a possible cause of the third fire in the Tillamook Burn. One member of the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion died while responding to a fire in the Northwest on August 6, 1945; other casualties of the 555th were two fractures and 20 other injuries.

Tony Stark Gazes into the Abyss
The trailer for Iron Man 3 premiered today, and I have to say, from frame one it already feels like it has exceeded the first two films.
This initial trailer looks amazing and very grim. Tony seems to be coming to head with his mortality, which has definitely quieted his once-cocky and self assured demeanor. His nemesis this time around is the Mandarin, which is an interesting choice considering this film was co-produced by DMG, a Chinese firm (who also co-produced Looper), and he is being played by Ben Kingsley. There is a potential for this to ignite criticism regarding the casting (i.e. why isn't the Mandarin Chinese?), which plagued the dismal adaptation of Avatar: the Last Air Bender.
Having Stark explore his own mortality isn't really a surprise considering his personality, and the fact that he is an ordinary man in a superhuman suit. However, this could be fantastically executed wherein the story explores the inner struggles and the fall of a human god. This reminds me a bit of Gilgamesh who feared his own mortality, and much of the poem explores how this shapes him as an individual.
I'm genuinely excited, because Iron Man and Spiderman are my two favorite superheroes.

On the walls
I see your face.
The lovely smile,
your teasing grin,
etched in my memory,
as the days go by
and my feelings for you
grow stronger.
My heart leaps
each and every time
I hear your voice.
Every word
you utter,
every sound
you make,
is music to my ears.
I melt
each time
you look at me
for your eyes
are warm.
The glitter
and the sparkle
that they have
bring light
into my life.
I always
to see you.
I cravce
to hear
your voice.
I have
always wished
we could be
and that it
could last
in my mind,
and locked
in my heart
you will
always be.
My love
for you
will never
There is one thing
I seek,
one thing I wish
I had.
I hope
one day
I'll have the courage
to hold your hand;
the courage
to look deep
into your eyes;
the courage
to say
I will love you
and forever.
Until I get
that courage,
my feelings
wil remain
we will
always be.
I just wish
that you can
wait for me.
