A week or so ago, I suggested that "Idol Chatter" cover the Richard Gere kissing kerfuffle that was consuming India. It seems the "Officer and a Gentleman" exhibited what some Indians consider less than gentlemanly behavior by vigorously kissing Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty several times on the hand and cheek while attending an AIDS/HIV awareness event. At the time, it was decided there were other stories to cover and that the incident would most likely blow over quickly, but like Gere's career, this story has made an incredible comeback, with a court issuing arrest warrants for both Gere and Shilpa.
A local in Jaipur filed an obscenity complaint and Judge Dinesh Gupta issued the warrants stating that the actors, "transgressed all limits of vulgarity and have the tendency to corrupt the society" and called event footage "highly sexually erotic" and against India's strict public obscenity laws.
I agree strongly with Dinesh D'Souza when he says that while he doesn't share the "extreme conservatism of traditional cultures" he thinks it's "naive of us not to recognize that there are deeply-held values in other societies, and it is especially easy for Hollywood types like Gere to outrage the locals."
And while it's important to respect people's beliefs, Hinduism and tradition may not be the only motivations here: "Such cases against celebrities–often filed by publicity seekers–are common in conservative India," notes MSNBC.com. "They add to a backlog of legal cases that has nearly crippled the country's judicial system."
Gere himself mentioned on last night's Daily Show that, "They do this kind of thing quite often. I don't know that anyone has actually gone to jail … It goes to a reputable court and they throw it out," as TMZ.com reports.
Coming just on the heels of the Elizabeth Hurley matrimony melee, it seems that these publicity seekers are moving to the big leagues, leaving Bollywood for Hollywood. But burning effigies of Gere in the streets? Imagine what would have happened if he'd had a "wardrobe malfunction"?
Sure, his Greenwich Village neighbors were aggravated with him a few years ago for building a Buddhist prayer hut on top of his brownstone, but Gere has done a lot of advocacy work in India, for health issues as well as Tibetan exiles. Heck, the man is buddy-buddy with the Dalai Lama himself, and often visits him in Dharamsala, in Northern India. It goes without saying that conservative traditionalists most likely wouldn't care if Gere has done good works, and might take offense at a "Western" interloper trying to improve/interfere with their culture.
And even though Shetty was raised in a traditional Hindu family, as her mother described in a January 2007 interview with The Times of London, she herself is quoted as saying, "this was not such a big thing, or obscene, for people to overreact in such a manner."
Then again, she has a warrant out for her arrest, too.
What do you think? Is this kiss hotter, so to speak, than his famous cinematic lip-lock with Debra Winger?

Why so many last names?
Where is the Aryeh D'Bei Ilu buried?
Is that in Galicia?
Brigel is in todays Poland, the Polish name is Brzesko
He has a grandson in KGH.
He has a grandson in Passaic NJ as well
His son-in-law was Rav Shmuel Orenstein (zivug sheiny) who was the Rav of Rudnik Shul in the West Side. He was nifter in 2005.
Does anyone know how did the Rebbe got the "Teitelbaum" last name? i just found out recently that my grandfather, who is Teitelbaum, who came to israel from Belgium, is originaly from Rudnik.
I believe Dr. Mayer Halberstam of KGH is his grandson.
Who was your grandfather?
The "Arye Dvei Ilaa" was married to a Teitelbaum.
Not just any Teitelbaum; he married the daughter of Rabbi Moishe Teitelbaum of Ujhely, the Yismach Moishe.

A Poem about Poems
This poem won first place in the Inter Board Poetry Competition and the judge at the time was
David Kirby.
Here is the poem and David Kirby's comments.
A Poem That Thinks It Has Joined a Circus by Liz Gallagher
A handkerchief is not an emotional hold-all.
A cup of tea does not eradicate all-smothering sensations.
A hands-on approach is not the same as a hand-on-a-shoulder
willing a chin to lift and an upper lip to stiffen.
A forehead resting on fingers does not imply that the grains
of sand in an hourglass have filtered through.
A set of eyes staring into space is not an indictment that the sun
came crashing down in the middle of the night.
A sigh that causes trembling and wobbly knees should be
henceforth and without warning trapped in a bell jar and retrained
to come out tinkling ivories with every gasp.
A poem trying to turn a sad feeling on its head does not constitute
a real poem, it is a can-can poem dancing on a pin-head
and walking a tight-rope with arms pressed tightly by its sides.
David Kirby's Comments:
While some critics will tell you that movies about movies or plays about plays are self-involved and decadent, sometimes I feel as though poems about poems are the only ones worth writing. Why? Because, at the moment of "getting it," and this applies to the moment of reading the poem as well as writing it, there is no more electric charge than that which comes with seeing a poem strut its stuff. Of course, part of the poem's and the poet's and the reader's achievement is that none of these three essential elements of the artistic experience knows exactly how that experience works. Just as the tightrope walker has to wobble on the wire, so the poem has to shake and tremble in order to startle and amaze as much as this one does.
* I know that writing poems about poems or about writing is sometimes a no-go area for writers. I have to admit that I do have a stock of poems about this very theme...not sure why I am or maybe was prone to doing so...these poems aren't going to be in the book though, so this post is a sort of 'sorry for abandoning' you poems-about-writing poems...but there you go... : )
What are your thoughts on 'writing about writing'? Have you written any poems or short stories on writing? Do you think it is a case of being too 'decadent' or 'self-involved'? : )

Not writing poems about poems/poetry/writing...another of the stupid 'rules' that get put about by the poetry experts (and then they all do it themselves anyway!). I'm just reading a great book by Don Paterson....filled with words about writers and writing.ResponderEliminar
I have a whole section on my website called 'writing'. No-one has to read any of the poems in that section but there they are should anyone be interested. Mostly they help me sort out ideas about writing and associated areas in my own head and if I get a good poem out of it then hurray for that (double bonus). If not...nobody's hurt and I've moved on another step.
In poetry some people just love telling other people what to do! Sad buggers.
I remember seeing this poem before - Stinging Fly or elsewhere? You must have been pleased with DK's comments on the poem. Have you read 'Don't Ask Me What I Mean?' It's a book full of poets' introductions to their books of poetry with all sorts of poets in it. I love dipping in and out of it. I wonder is it the same as the book Rachel's reading...?ResponderEliminar
I think the reason why poems about writing can be tricky for people is because they are self-referential; a small circle wherein you examine what writing means, or doesn't mean. That doesn't always translate well for the reader - some think of it as the writing equivalent of navel gazing - which is allowed, don't get me wrong - but it can become a case of ever-decreasing circles if not dealt with by the right hands. But your cracker poem above is not in that class - it is amazing :)
But is it a small circle? More and more people are writing something (poems, stories, screenplays, life stories...). Sometimes it feels like all the world's a writer...or maybe half the world at least.ResponderEliminar
But I know what you mean Barbara. Poems about poems/writing can seem too self-referential. In the end I think perhaps it's more to with whether you like the writing of that particular poet though. If you like them writing about oranges, sex and/or the colour of the sky chances are you'll like them writing about poems too (and ditto if you don't...).
Rachel, until I was putting poems together for the book I didn't realise I had written so many poems about 'writing'...maybe 10 or so...but I guess it's natural to want to write about something that means something to you...I've always tried to have them humorous though and not 'oh woe is the writer's world'...and yeah, they sometimes helped me sort out exactly what I thought about what I was doing and maybe touched on stuff like not being able to write or obsession with writing or what to do with discarded poems and such like... ; )ResponderEliminar
Barbara, that book sounds good and just right up my street at the moment as I'm trying to put together some introductions to the poems (like you so wisely and kindly suggested before...)so will definitely try to get it...
The poem above has been around for the past two years, maybe you saw it online...it wasn't in The Stinging Fly but another one of the same ilk was! ; )
This is one of my favorite Liz poems,It is a wonderful gift to read it again today, thank-you. Writing about writing, well first off I am guilty, I have several poems about writing, my connection to the words, and they flow out naturally and come from that place where the poetry goes, I used to try to purposely not write them, but then they banged down my door for a chance to "voice" themselves. As a writer I love to read poems about writing and poetry, one of my favorites poems is Mark Strands "Eating Poery", perhaps the audience for these poems is smaller, perhaps not. I think as writers it is a natural expression, to write about something we love, and feel a connection to, a celebration of the words, both the good and bad. It is part of who we are, so it is natural that it will express itself through our words. Hugs. :) brenda
Thanks for your thoughts, Brenda - can totally relate to what you're saying. : )ResponderEliminar
Hope you're having a nice week-end.

Zombie-fighting and romance. There's room for both in Dead Country. This story is set in the same terrifying world as Bonnie Dee's bestselling After the End, but follows the adventures of new characters.
Brian Pasman is stuck in his hometown of Durbinville, Kansas—again. On the cusp of graduating from Caltech when a family illness brings him home, his life is changed forever by the zombie apocalypse. Several months into the invasion, order is slowly being restored, but this small town is not a priority and the citizens are left to fend for themselves behind a ramshackle barricade.
Into the routine horror of zombie-killing which has become Brian's life rides a force of change on a Harley. Ashleigh Jennings has been on her own most of her life. She's been a maid, a waitress and an exotic dancer but dreams of a singing career. Her lively personality shakes Brian awake, making him appreciate life more than he had even before the nightmare struck.
The motorcycle group's arrogant leader clashes with the equally domineering head of the town council, but the two groups must join forces when a new wave of the undead sweeps across the prairie. Can Brian come up with a battle plan to save the town or is his education in probabilities only good in theory?
My Review:
This is the second book by the author set in the zombie apocalypse, the first being 'After the End' but these are all totally new characters.
Brian and Fes are part of a zombie killing patrol in their home town of Durbinville and are fearful when Ashleigh's motorcycle group approach, looking for somewhere to rest for a few days on their journey south. The group are allowed to stay but unknown to the town they are concealing a sick child, bitten by a zombie. Despite the differences between the new group and the townspeople, when packs of zombies start threatening the town, everyone has to work together to survive.
The actual plot was good. Brian was at college, living the dream of escaping his dull town when he came home for a visit just as the apocalypse came, leaving him trapped. Fes was never able to escape the town and wonders now if he ever will. They are doing patrols to kill any zombies outside the town fences to keep everyone safe when the motorcycles pull up. When they realise the strangers mean them no harm they escort the group to town and they are reluctantly given sanctuary if they help with the coming harvest, which is agreed. However a sudden zombie attack in the fields takes everyone by surprise and the survivors are quarantined, leading to angry exchanges between the town council and the strangers. Attacks on the town increase and nerves are on edge as Brian battles to come up with a plan to save them.
I liked Brian as a character. He's smart and could be doing a lot more to help the town instead of just zombie patrol, something soon realised by the town council after the field attack. I also like Fes, who is devoted to his town and doing whatever is necessary to keeping it safe. Janice, the head of the council, is quite happy to issue orders and sleep in her bed at night while ordinary people do all the work to keep them safe. I hated the lazy bitch. Ashleigh also annoyed me. She is always getting annoyed by Daylon not taking her seriously and moaning that she wants to be an independent woman who doesn't rely on men to take care of her but the first thing she does when she meets Brian is try to seduce him so he will take care of her. She is happy to use her looks and body to get what she wants then whines about men only seeing her that way. Shut up and stop moaning you stupid tart!
What did drive me crazy were the motorcycle group. First they lie about having a bitten child so they can get into the town and enjoy food, water, beds, showers and electricity. They are quite happy to endanger the whole town and betray the goodness of Brian who vouched for them. One of them who is believed dead in the field attack turns up alive days later and is furious that no search team was sent out to find her. Yeah, everyone that got back to town escaped by the their skin and the zombie's teeth and they would endanger a whole new group of people by sending them out there for someone believed dead? Selfish much? They whine about working to earn their keep despite the fact that they offered to work! The strangers kick off about going into quarantine after the attack to be checked for bites and act as if the town are being unreasonable about protecting their citizens. When the concealment of the infected child is discovered and the group are told to leave, they think they are being badly treated! They are a bunch of rude ungrateful tossers!
Putting aside some real idiots amongst the characters there is some decent zombie action in the book set against a backdrop of a community fighting to survive. There is tension as each night gunshots are heard on the town boundaries with the odd zombie getting in and having to be put down. I liked the scenes with the attack in the fields and of course the big finale. They were quite well written and enjoyable.
There are a few sex scenes which I don't think add much to the overall plot and I just skipped them. I didn't feel any real chemistry between Brian and Ashleigh and I think he could've done better for himself. But this is marketed as zombie romance so I just skipped the bits that bored me. Not the best in the genre but a decent enough read.

The event is called Mienk a Var! (The Castle is Ours / We are the Kings of the Castle). The Hungarian Castles Festival is basically the May Day of medieval Castles found all over in Hungary, mostly as castle ruins. Some of the more popular castles in Hungary will all be represented at the national castle showcase, like the castle in Diosgyor, the castle in the lovely wine town of Eger, the castle ruins in Esztergom in the Danube Bend, Gyula, Holloko, the village enlisted in the UNESCO World Heritage list, Koszeg, Sarospatak, Sarvar, Siklos, Somlo, Sumeg, Tata, Várpalota, or the castle of Visegrad.

With the arrival of Grand Theft Auto V clutch-achingly close, fans of the drive-em-up are chomping at the bit at the prospect of taking to the streets of Los Santos. In order to scratch our own GTA itch, we've taken to learning every line of the trailers and playing out scene by scene re-enactments in the ShortList offices (only four windows have been broken so far).
To celebrate September's launch of GTA V, the petrol heads at Motors.co.uk have compiled this brilliant infographic, detailing the top ten real-life equivalent vehicles from the series that you could drive away today. What better way to count down the days until GTA V pulls into view than running amok in an actual Infernus, or getting your hands on Uranus? Check them out:
(Should you wish to pay tribute to the great series and acquire one of the above vehicles, we must stress the importance of buying these cars, not stealing them, and driving them in a manner befitting of the laws of the road)
Grand Theft Auto V will be released September 17

Yesterday Boston Bibliophile posted the following question. Yes, I know, I know, I am a day late.
Today's topic: Recommendations. Do you use LT's recommendations feature? Have you found any good books by using it? Do you use the anti-recommendations, or the "special sauce" recommendations? How do you find out about books you want to read?
Actually for me this is pretty easy. I have never used any of the recommendation aids on Library Thing. Since I purchase mostly non-fiction I usually do a search on Amazon to find books on the subject that I am interested in. Then I look around on all of my sources as to where I want to get my chosen book from. I also use personal recommendations a lot. Since I have been getting a lot of ARC's lately I have not been looking around much for additional reading.

Postings on Japanese forum 2ch.net [via Kotaku] are suggesting that staff at Sony Computer Entertainment Japan might be facing a job losses, or at least changes to employment contracts, over the next few days as the firm starts a possible restructure.
Many 2ch users employed at Sony have been speaking of receiving notifications that their contracts are to be re-negotiated prematurely, leaving many anxious over the security of their jobs.
Allegedly the notifications, colloquially referred to as 'akagami' or 'red cards', say that negotiations will take place starting from tomorrow, January 9th. The location mentioned to many of these recipients – a large room at SCE Japan offices known as 'Meeting Room 10' – has caused concern that the 'renegotiations' will take place en masse and on a large scale.
While forum postings should be taken with the appropriate amount of salt, 2ch.net is Japan's largest online community and, thanks to the anonymous nature of posting without usernames, has gained a reputation for being a hotbed for upcoming news.

Fish & Wildlife Improves Harvest Information Program Registration
WATERBURY, VT If you hunt migratory game birds, you must register with the Federal Harvest Information Program each year. The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is providing migratory game bird hunters with an improved registration process in effect for 2010. Vermont, like other states, will forward the required information to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to help in managing migratory game birds.
The Harvest Information Program (H.I.P.) enables the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (U.S.F.W.S.) and state fish and wildlife agencies to develop reliable estimates of the number of migratory game birds harvested throughout the country. These estimates are important in making sound decisions about setting hunting season dates, bag limits and population management for ducks, geese, coots, snipe, and woodcock. .
Vermont sends between 8,000 and 10,000 addresses of these hunters to the U.S.F.W.S. each year. The U.S.F.W.S. uses the list to randomly sample hunters for the required information.
The new H.I.P. registration process is easier and more accurate. Hunters who may go hunting for migratory game birds are required to either register on Vermont Fish and Wildlifes website (vtfishandwildlife.com) or to call, toll free, 1-877-306-7091. After providing basic information, you will receive your annual H.I.P. registration number, which you then need to record in the H.I.P. section of your hunting license.
Hunters who have a permanent or lifetime Vermont hunting license should print out the website response form showing the H.I.P. number and write it on the back of their hunting license. Permanent and lifetime who register by telephone between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday will receive a number over the phone for their license.
Hunters who have registered for H.I.P. and have lost their license or H.I.P. number can look up their number on Vermont Fish and Wildlifes website.

|Edith Stein
Edith Stein was born into a German Jewish family on October 12, 1891, on Yom Kippur, in the Silesian capital Breslau, Germany (after 1945,Wroclaw, Poland). She was the youngest of eleven children, four of whom died in early childhood. Her father, Siegfried Stein (1844–1893), had a small trade with coals and wood and died too early for his youngest child to have any memory of him.
Her mother, Auguste Stein, née Courant (1849–1936), was a matriarchal, warm-hearted woman who tried to educate her children in the traditional Jewish faith and in the celebration of the rituals. Nonetheless, the industrious and highly intelligent girl became an agnostic from her puberty onward and already in school became a champion of women's liberation.
After a brilliant performance on school examinations, she studied psychology with William Stern, philosophy with Richard Hönigswald, along with German literature and history, at the Universität Breslau from 1911 to 1913.
|Auguste Stein
One can obtain a good sense of her feelings from that period, up to her doctorate in 1916 from the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, from her fragmentary autobiography Life in a Jewish Family, written in 1933 but first published in 1965. In 1913 Stein went to Göttingen to study under the famous founder of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl (1859–1938), and with his assistant Adolf Reinach (1883–1917), whose death in World War I affected her very deeply.
In 1915 she worked as a Red-Cross nurse in an international soldiers' recovery hospital in Weißkirchen, Mähren (now located in the Czech Republic). After completing her state examinations, she followed Husserl to Universität Freiburg in 1916, where she completed her dissertation On the Problem of Empathy summa cum laude.
From 1917 to 1918 she served as Husserl's private assistant, transcribing, ordering, and completing his manuscripts, preparing for publication his Ideas Pertaining to a Pure Phenomenology and to a Phenomenological Philosophy, books 2 and 3, along with his On the Phenomenology of the Consciousness of Internal Time, later published in 1927 by Martin Heidegger.
|Edmund Husserl
Between 1918 and 1932 Stein attempted four times to qualify for a habilitation (the highest qualification in the German university), at the universities in Göttingen, Freiburg, Breslau, and Kiel, but she failed partly because she was female and partly because she was a Jew.
During a deepening personal as well as academic crisis as her relationships with the phenomenologists Roman Ingarden and Hans Lipps weakened, she started studying classical Christian literature, especially St. Teresa of Ávila, as well as Martin Luther, Søren Kierkegaard, and St. Augustine.
Her Catholic baptism on January 1, 1922, separated her in a painful way from her family, especially from her mother, who received a second, almost unsustainable blow in October 1933, when Stein entered the Carmelite order in Cologne.
|Martin Luther
From 1923 until 1931, she worked as a teacher of German and history at a girls' college, Mädchen-Lyzeum, in Speyer on the Rhine, and from 1932 until March 1933 she taught as a docent at the Deutsches Institut für wissenschaftliche Pädagogik (German Institute for Scientific Pedagogy) in Münster.
From 1928 through 1933, her spiritual mentor was Raphael Walzer OSB, arch abbot of the Benedictine monastery at Beuron. During the same period she became well known in Catholic circles in Germany, Austria (Salzburg, Vienna), and Switzerland (Zurich) through her lectures on Christian anthropology and Christian feminism.
After the removal of non-Aryans from official positions in the spring of 1933, Stein left the institute to fulfill her wish for a Carmelite existence. In April 1933 she wrote a famous letter to Pope Pius XI asking him to protest against the humiliation of Jews and predicting a coming prosecution of the Catholic Church too.
|Teresa of Ávila
From 1933 through 1938 she stayed in the Carmelite cloisters in Cologne, using the name Sister Teresia Benedicta a cruce of the Cross OCD. In 1939 she moved to the Carmelite cloisters at Echt, Netherlands.
After the protest of Dutch Catholic bishops against prosecution of Jews, she and her sister Rosa were arrested by the Gestapo on August 2, 1942, brought first to the Dutch camps of Amersfort and Westerbork, and taken from there by train to Auschwitz. The day of her arrival on August 9, 1942, is most probably the day she was killed. In 1987 she was beatified, in 1998 sanctified, and in 1999 named copatroness of Europe by Pope John Paul II.
Philosophical Works
In the first, strictly phenomenological period of her writing while she was one of Husserl's leading students (1916–1922), Stein employed Husserl's phenomenological method in fundamental analyses in anthropology, focusing on psychology, psychophysical interactions, intersubjectivity, and personhood.
|Theodor Lipps
Her dissertation investigated empathy (a field neglected by Husserl) as the basis for intersubjectivity and the experience of the other's and one's own body, referring to the tradition of Theodor Lipps, Max Scheler, and Alexander Pfänder, and then developing independent conclusions.
In 1919, in Einführung in die Philosophie,Stein critiqued Husserl's idealistic position on the ego, contrasting his view of the monadic ego with arguments for a real external world. Her habilitation Philosophy of Psychology and the Humanities (1922/2000) differentiated the psyche and the soul with reference to causality and motivation.
Causality determines the bound psyche with the help of conditions and psychic laws, while motivation inspires the free, creative will of the personal soul. Respectively they constitute the sensual, receptive subject and the rational, active subject.
|Alexander Pfänder
She takes an analogous approach in her treatment of the community and its transindividual reality in Individuum und Gemeinschaft (Individuality and community; 1922). The essential difference between psychic bindings and rationally deciding leads to the difference between psychology and the humanities (Geisteswissenschaften).
The voluminous study Eine Untersuchung über den Staat (A study of the state; 1925) illuminates the ontological basis of sociology by differentiating between community and society and showing the roots of society in community and the roots of community in the individual.
In her second period after her baptism (1922–1937), Stein, in analyzing important parts of the Christian tradition but still doing so in a phenomenological way, was drawn to classical ontology and metaphysics.
|Erich Przywara
Inspired by the Jesuit Erich Przywara, in the 1920s Stein translated John Henry Newman's Letters from the Anglican Period and Idea of a University, and Thomas Aquinas's Quaestiones disputatae de veritate (Disputations on truth; 1931–1934) and De ente et essentia (On being and essence; unpublished yet).
Her studies in Christian feminism and female education, including essays on Elisabeth of Thüringen and Teresa of Avila, revealed a remarkable phenomenology of womanhood, especially in reference to the interrelation of body, soul, self-concept, and being divinely gifted.
While teaching in Münster from 1932 to 1933, she wrote a philosophical anthropology and a fragmentary theological anthropology in Der Aufbau der menschlichen Person (The structure of human person) and Was ist der Mensch? (What is a human being?).
|Elisabeth of Thüringen
The difference, but also the possible connection, between phenomenological method and scholastic ontology is shown in Was ist Philosophie? Ein Gespräch zwischen Edmund Husserl und Thomas von Aquino (1929) a Platonic dialogue between Husserl and Aquinas, with Aquinas as the leading speaker.
In Potenz und Akt (Potentiality and act; 1931) and Endliches und ewiges Sein (Finite and eternal being; 1936/37), Stein tried to reconcile phenomenology and scholastic philosophy in a contemporary fashion.
Referring to Aristotle, Aquinas, Augustine, pseudo-Dionysius, Heidegger, Jean Hering, and Hedwig ConradMartius (her godmother, famous for a philosophy of nature and of space and time), Stein tried to analyze different conceptions of being and to reconcile phenomenology and classical and medieval ontology into a philosophy for all time.
|Jean Hering
Though she started with Aquinas, who maintained an Aristotelian ontology, she ultimately ended up closer to Augustine's personalism and his trinitarian view of creation. The aim of her philosophy was a theory of the person, not of ontological being.
In her third period (1940–1942), Stein composed two important studies on Christian spirituality and mystics. To prepare for a modern analysis of the great Spanish Carmelite reformer John of the Cross (1542–1591), she translated the complete works of pseudo-Dionysius (the Areopagite), the father of occidental mysticism, and dedicated to him the essay "Wege der Gotteserkenntnis" (Ways to recognize God; 1940/41). She reconstructed and commented on the three classical Areopagitic ways of pursuing theology: the positive, the negative, and the mystical.
As an immediate fruit of rethinking the basics of mysticism, Stein provided an immanent interpretation of the theory and poetry of mystical ascent by John of the Cross, in her last, almost completed work The Science of the Cross (1950/2002). In his three-dark-nights theory of spiritual development, one must pass through the night of sentiment, the night of mind, and the night of faith before ascending to God.
|John of the Cross
She also held that one must annihilate the self before reaching the glory of God—a theory that sheds light on Stein's own inner spiritual development. Her reflections retain language and methods close to phenomenological research.
Until 1930 the writings and translations of Stein were published for the most part during her lifetime. All of her other works, letters, and uncompleted projects began to be published from 1950 to 1998 in Edith Steins Werke in 18 volumes by Herder in Freiburg.
A new critical edition of all her writings, based on the complete material in the Carmelite Archive in Cologne and including translations and scattered pieces, is being projected from 2000 to 2010 as Edith Stein Gesamtausgabe (Complete works of Edith Stein) in 25 volumes, also by Herder.
The interest in her life initially led to many hagiographic studies. Meanwhile, since the 1990s her philosophical work on Husserl and Heidegger has met with strong interest and received an increasingly positive appraisal. Stein's importance and influence in the history of phenomenology has yet to be fully explored.

Created for the grand opening of Brighouse Elementary School in Richmond BC, this video outlines the collaboration that took place throughout the design and construction of the new school. The process of developing this new K-12 facility for the community began with the student's engagement and they've stayed involved throughout. Students have made their mark on the design through a student committee, project blog and various open houses and workshops. Their input was applied to substantiate many decisions made throughout the design process, such as the provision for ample natural light, brightly coloured walls, community gardens and touch-screen technology. This inclusive collaborative design process has instilled a sense of ownership into everyone involved.
The community and student involvement in the process of designing and building Brighouse Elementary School is chronicled in the project's design blog.

LM Number: 092569
Dear Mr. Northem:
This office has recently completed an audit of Postal Workers, American, AFL-CIO Local 183 under the Compliance Audit Program (CAP) to determine your organization's compliance with the provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA). As discussed during the exit interview with you and Executive Vice President Delores Ennis on September 30, 2010, the following problems were disclosed during the CAP. The matters listed below are not an exhaustive list of all possible problem areas since the audit conducted was limited in scope.
Recordkeeping Violations
Title II of the LMRDA establishes certain reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Section 206 requires, among other things, that labor organizations maintain adequate records for at least five years by which each receipt and disbursement of funds, as well as all account balances, can be verified, explained, and clarified. As a general rule, labor organizations must maintain all records used or received in the course of union business.
For disbursements, this includes not only original bills, invoices, receipts, vouchers, and applicable resolutions, but also documentation showing the nature of the union business requiring the disbursement, the goods or services received, and the identity of the recipient(s) of the goods or services. In most instances, this documentation requirement can be satisfied with a sufficiently descriptive expense receipt or invoice. If an expense receipt is not sufficiently descriptive, a union officer or employee should write a note on it providing the additional information. For money it receives, the labor organization must keep at least one record showing the date, amount, purpose, and source of that money. The labor organization must also retain bank records for all accounts.
The audit of Local 183's 2009 records revealed the following recordkeeping violations:
1. Meal Expenses
Local 183 submitted an itemized receipt for meal expenses totaling at least $90 without noting the purpose of the expense. The union must maintain itemized receipts provided by restaurants to officers and employees. These itemized receipts are necessary to determine if such disbursements are for union business purposes and to sufficiently fulfill the recordkeeping requirement of LMRDA Section 206.
Local 183 records of meal expenses did not always include written explanations of union business conducted. For example, the credit card charge dated January 26, 2009 lacked adequate information regarding union business conducted. Union records of meal expenses must include written explanations of the union business conducted and the full names and titles of all persons who incurred the restaurant charges. Also, the records retained must identify the names of the restaurants where the officers or employees incurred meal expenses.
2. Lost Wages
Local 183 did not retain adequate documentation for lost wage reimbursement payments to union officers totaling at least $398. The union must maintain records in support of lost wage claims that identify each date lost wages were incurred, the number of hours lost on each date, the applicable rate of pay, and a description of the union business conducted. The OLMS audit found that Local 183 officers did not retain leave with out pay vouchers on lost wage reimbursements and the union business conducted.
Based on your assurance that Local 183 will retain adequate documentation in the future, OLMS will take no further enforcement action at this time regarding the above violations.
Reporting Violations
The audit disclosed a violation of LMRDA Section 201(b), which requires labor organizations to file annual financial reports accurately disclosing their financial condition and operations. The Labor Organization Annual Report Form LM-3 filed by Local 183 for fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, was deficient in the following areas:
1. Disbursements to Officers
Local 183 did not include some reimbursements to officers totaling at least $246 in the amounts reported Item 24 (All Officers and Disbursements to Officers). It appears the union erroneously reported these payments in Item 48 (Office and Administrative Expense) or Item 54 (Other Disbursements).
The union must report most direct disbursements to Local 183 officers and some indirect disbursements made on behalf of its officers in Item 24. A "direct disbursement" to an officer is a payment made to an officer in the form of cash, property, goods, services, or other things of value. See the instructions for Item 24 for a discussion of certain direct disbursements to officers that do not have to be reported in Item 24. An "indirect disbursement" to an officer is a payment to another party (including a credit card company) for cash, property, goods, services, or other things of value received by or on behalf of an officer. However, indirect disbursements for temporary lodging (such as a union check issued to a hotel) or for transportation by a public carrier (such as an airline) for an officer traveling on union business should be reported in Item 48 (Office and Administrative Expense).
I am not requiring that Local 183 file an amended LM report for 2009 to correct the deficient items, but Local 183 has agreed to properly report the deficient items on all future reports it files with OLMS.
2. Failure to File Bylaws
The audit disclosed a violation of LMRDA Section 201(a), which requires that a union submit a copy of its revised constitution and bylaws with its LM report when it makes changes to its constitution or bylaws. Local 183 amended its constitution and bylaws in 2007, but did not file a copy with its LM report for that year.
Local 183 has now filed a copy of its constitution and bylaws.
Other Issue
During the exit interview I pointed out a number of checks containing only one officer signature. Your union's bylaws require that all checks be signed by the president and treasurer or corresponding officer. The two signature requirement is an effective internal control of union funds. Its purpose is to attest to the authenticity of a completed document already signed. However, only having one signature on a check does not attest to the authenticity of a completed check, and negates the purpose of the two signature requirement. OLMS recommends that Local 183 review these procedures to improve internal control of union funds.
I want to extend my personal appreciation to Local 183 for the cooperation and courtesy extended during this compliance audit. I strongly recommend that you make sure this letter and the compliance assistance materials provided to you are passed on to future officers. If we can provide any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to call.

LEDs are 5055 SMDs, very bright to light up the room - much more than just a mood light. They are superior than SMD 3528, but less effective than 2835 - but widely used in light strips. These lights are widely used under Kitchen cabinets or over cabinets. Also great for accent lighting in living room.
Comes in the box, 2 reels of self adhesive LED strips each 5m in length, interconnects themselves without the need of an adapter gives you full 10metre in length. This will be enough to cover most of the living room in full length. I'm not sue where will I install this, but most likey over the kitchen cabinets .
Plenty of applicationsRemote control is responsive though surely not going to respond from the other end of 10th metre. LED strips can be joined together, you don't need anything extra to do that, just plug in. Lights get slightly warmer after an hour or so, but nothing alarming.
Please check out the pictures, that may give you an overall idea on how it looks in real life (taking into consideration of Camera limitations)

"Memorial Day will be celebrated … by the usual betrayal of the dead, by the hypocritical patriotism of the politicians and contractors preparing for more wars, more graves to receive more flowers on future Memorial Days. The memory of the dead deserves a different dedication. To peace, to defiance of governments."
—-Howard Zinn
There has been a campaign on social media to promote something called the "Go Silent" campaign. As to this "Go Silent" campaign to ask for a moment of silence on memorial day; I will not be taking part because I find this request insulting and condescending to the people of the US. We The People have the right to free speech, we have the right to speak out against the injustice being perpetrated against innocent people all over the world by the US Military in the service of US Government/Corporate interests. I will use tomorrow to speak out against the glorifying/deification of war dead, which only serves as a way to silence and shame discontent and dissension from the people against the crimes being done in their name.
No war or military operation the US has fought has been just or warranted, not since at least WWII, and since the end of the Vietnam war we have had a volunteer force so anyone who has died since then has died because of a choice THEY made to be a part of an armed forces in services of a government that has perpetrated slaughter on a massive scale, especially in the Middle East. Why, why does the "protection" of our "freedom" and "liberty" and "way of life" seem so often to require the wholesale destruction of other nations and peoples?
This memorial day I will be honoring not the US war dead (they have plenty of people celebrating their cause) but instead the victims of US imperial brutality in the name of "freedom". Also remember, the best way to honor the war dead, veterans, and those who are still serving is to make sure they are never again sent to fight a war of aggression in the name of national security, corporate interests, or plain old fear. The holiday has also become yet another excuse for Americans to self-righteously congratulate themselves, to worship the military for the sake of it being the military, and also an excuse for retailers to sell cheap foreign made goods to eager consumers. I am not asking that you believe what I believe or act how I act, but I am asking that you take a long hard look at what it is exactly that we are memorializing this day, and why.

Neclord is a great host
During the wedding between Neclord and Tengaar Neclord graciously invites Tir and company to attend this joyous occasion, but upon reaching the top of the castle Tir and company ruin the event by attacking Neclord for no apparent reason.
Neclord the compassionate
It is well know that the Blue moon rune governs compassion so it is reasonable to say that Neclord also knows this, so why would Neclord want a rune like this? Because he is on a mission to spread compassion across the war-torn land, but on occasion the rune's darker powers can surface resulting in Neclord's seemingly evil action's, but this is just the power of the true rune trying to turn Neclord into it's evil puppet.
Brought down a corrupt empire
How you ask? By abducting the daughter of the chief of warrior village he instigated a revolt against the Empire, while it appears that he did this for personal gain his plan was to have the mighty warriors of warriors village join the Liberation army so they could bring an end to the Empires rule. And after seeing an Imperial general kidnapping the chief's daughter the warriors did indeed join Liberation armies cause.
Faced with this evidence it seems clear that Neclord was a kind person who was always trying to help those in need, and although some of his actions may appear to be evil he only wished to bring love and happiness into the world.

Sign up for my newsletter, where I'll be providing exclusive insights and tips into getting healthy and happy for good!
Are you over it?
In my late 20's, I was totally over it. I had been dieting for what seemed like my entire life, with absolutely nothing to show for it, except a wardrobe full of clothes in different sizes and a massive diet book collection.
I was discouraged. I had just regained all the weight from a previous diet, and after telling myself day after day that I would "be good and start tomorrow" - I wondered if there was something wrong with me.
Why couldn't I just start tomorrow?
If being thin was the only thing I really, really, REALLY wanted in life, why couldn't I just count calories like everyone else?
Was I following the wrong diet?
Would I ever find the right one?
Luckily I found a 'middle ground.' I figured out that it wasn't my fault - it was trying to make myself fit into someone else's idea of what perfect dieting looks like.
I help women get comfortable in the "gray area."
You know, the area where I might not eat sugar one day, and another day I might have only a few bites, and on another day I might eat an ice cream Sunday - and it's all okay!!!
Sustainable weight loss means figuring out sustainable eating and lifestyle habits. That can be difficult after years of following the "shoulds" of other gurus and experts out there.
I'm here to help you find your way to health and happiness - whatever that looks like!
Thank you so much for stopping by - you can do this!!!

Josh and I went for a brisk morning cruise in the dinghy, and then I went for a long hike where I saw lots of guns, shells, ammunitions, and broken things. The hillsides had indentions in the ground which none of us could figure out if it was from bombings or what. Some of the guns were very, very large. Bob found a shell casing about two feet long. We saw our first Bald Eagle! And a lot of Lapland Longspurs, Song Sparrows, and McKay's Buntings. I'm thrilled to have finally figured out the mystery bird: Gray-crowned Rosy Finch. Now I'm bored.
I keep baking more cakes, cinnamon rolls, and biscuits in an attempt to warm up but it seems everyone is overdosing on sugar, except for Bob maybe. Tonight might be a brownie night.
The end.

Ok, I've written a lot about medical malpractice lately (here, here and here) (which is particularly unusual as our firm hasn't handled a single med mal case in the 10 years I've worked here). But an attack on the 7th Amendment right to jury trial for medical malpractice is just as sinister and unwarranted as attacks on the civil justice system in any other area of the law. One of the players – at least in Missouri – is the Gate Way Group. Gate Way has published a policy paper in support of unconstitutional restrictions on the fundamental right to jury trial.
Gate Way's policy paper – like other tort reform materials – is filled with mistruths and outright lies. Let's take a look.
"On July 21, 2012 the Missouri Supreme Court overturned the state's cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits."
True and False. In Watts, the Missouri Supreme Court held that caps on non-economic damages in medical malpractice suits involving injury unconstitutionally violated a Missourian's right to trial by jury under the common law. For a more detailed analysis of the Watts decision, see here.
Medical malpractice suits involving death, arguably are still subject to the $350,000 cap. In Sanders v. Ahmed, the Supreme Court held that a claim for wrongful death is statutory and has no common law antecedent. While supporters of the 7th Amendment believe that Watts also abrogated the Sanders decision, there is not yet any case to provide guidance. Arguably, at this point, the cap applies for death cases, but not for injury cases.
"As a result, there is no limit to what a jury can award a plaintiff under current law."
False. There is a limit. It's called evidence.
The jury is constrained by the evidence. The trial judge stands as a gatekeeper to ensure the jury is constrained by the evidence. The Court of Appeals stands as a gatekeeper to ensure the trial judge is constrained by the law and the evidence. The Supreme Court stands a gatekeeper to ensure that the trial judge and the Court of Appeals are constrained by the law and the evidence.
There are no fewer than four levels of limits and protection to properly constrain an award for medical malpractice.
"The House of Representatives passed legislation in 2013 to reinstate the previous caps that were enacted under form Republican Governor Matt Blunt in 2005; however, the measure fell short in the state Senate in the final weeks of the 2013 legislative session."
True, but with misrepresentation by omission.
What is left unsaid is that the reinstatement of unconstitutional damage caps was – and is – patently unconstitutional. What is left unsaid is that the House of Representatives knowingly and purposefully passed unconstitutional damage caps that violated fundamental liberties.
Yes, the measure to reinstate unconstitutional caps failed because it was unconstitutional.
"Physicians and health care providers from around the state have teamed up with hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and other organizations to form the Show Me Tort Reform Coalition."
I assume this is true. It is not surprising.
"The coalition is working with legislators in a 2014 advocacy campaign to reinstate limits on non-economic damages, as they fear the status quo will lead to higher number of frivolous lawsuits and force providers out of the state."
Pants-on-Fire Lie.
While the so-called "fear" of this coalition might be real, it is unwarranted. Much like a child's fear of the monster living in her closet. Like the child's fear, the coalition's fear has no basis in fact or logic.
The coalition's "fear" has been empirically disproved.
Damage Caps Do Not Prevent Frivolous Lawsuits.
By definition, damages caps can only apply to cases with merit and which the plaintiff not only wins, but has suffered and is awarded substantial non-economic damages.
In order for unconstitutional damages caps – like those sought by Burlison – to apply, the following must occur:
(1) The jury must find the doctor, hospital, or other health care provider was liable for the injury (an actual cause-in-fact of the injury); and
(2) The jury must find that the injured victim suffered some non-economic loss or injury (an incomplete list of non-economic damages includes pain, suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, loss of consortium, loss of care, loss of comfort, loss of support, lost enjoyment of life, etc.) that was caused by No. (1); and
(3) The jury must find that the value of the injured victim's non-economic loss is greater than $350,000 over the victim's lifetime.
These caps have absolutely nothing to do with frivolous lawsuits and it is disingenuous and outright misleading for anyone to suggest otherwise.
While these caps don't restrict frivolous lawsuits, they do fundamentally restrict valid lawsuits and, instead of protecting innocent victims, these caps protect negligent doctors and hospitals from being held accountable and accepting responsibility for the damage they cause. Springfield-area Representitive Eric Burlison acknowledged as much in a News-Leader article when he said that he saw "caps as a way of keeping the number of claims down."
Tort reform advocates like Gate Way and Rep. Burlison have admitted their goal is to re-institute patently unconstitutional damages caps for the purpose of restricting valid claims against negligent doctors.
Doctors Did Not "Flee" Before Tort Reform and Did Not Return After
This claim is proven false by empirical data from the Missouri State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts and the American Medical Association.
Data from the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts show a steady – even growing – number of doctors throughout the so-called tort reform "crisis" and no substantial growth in in-state registrations after the unconstitutional caps were enacted.
You can see from the data that there was no mass exodus. In-state renewals for physicians actually jumped 4.23% from the previous reporting period in 2004 – just before the "boiling point" claimed by Gates.
Data from the American Medical Association using a broader time frame also show there was no exodus of doctors before tort reform and no mass return of doctors once unconstitutional restrictions were enacted. This is a true fact based on the per capita number of doctors and also for the per capita number of doctors in so-called "high risk" specialties that include neurosurgery and Ob-Gyns.
Not only have doctors not fled Missouri over tort reform (or lack thereof), they haven't fled any other state either. For example, the "doctors are fleeing our state lie" was exposed in Texas as well.
"Before Texas adopted tort reform in 2003, proponents claimed that physicians were deserting Texas in droves. After tort reform was enacted, proponents claimed there had been a dramatic increase in physicians moving to Texas due to the improved liability climate. We find no evidence to support either claim."
– Does Tort Reform Affect Physician Supply? Evidence from Texas
Even staunch tort reform advocate Ted Frank of the Manhattan Institute agreed that the Texas study "substantially undermines the empirical case for the conventional wisdom that Texas' 2003 reforms against medical malpractice lawsuits attracted more doctors to Texas." Frank agreed the report is so damning he is "going to stop claiming that Texas tort reform increased doctor supply without better data demonstrating that."
One medical malpractice insurance company produced an info-graphic that demonstrated unequivocally that there is no medical malpractice crisis. It showed that nearly half of all medical malpractice payouts came from only 5 states (Florida, New Jersey, California, Pennsylvania, and New York). It also showed that overall medical malpractice payments have been declining steadily since 2003. The data from the insurance company also showed that "runaway juries" or "excessive" jury awards are not part of any alleged "crisis". Only 5% of all medical malpractice awards in 2012 resulted from a verdict at trial. More than 90% of all malpractice payments were made voluntarily by the defendant doctor, hospital, or health care provider by way of settlement.
The Missouri Constitution ensures that "the right to trial by jury as heretofore enjoyed shall remain inviolate…." [Mo. Const. Art. 1, sec. 22(a)].
Tell these special interests to stop messing with our constitution just to protect negligent doctors and their insurance companies from liability. Enough is enough.
