Police are probing a possible hate crime after scissors-wielding suspect allegedly attacks sixth-grader's headscarf.
Police in the Canadian city of Toronto are investigating a possible hate crime after an 11-year-old Muslim girl was attacked by a man who allegedly tried to cut off her hijab twice on her way to school.
Sixth-grade student Khawlah Noman was walking with her younger brother on Friday near the Pauline Johnson Public School in Toronto when a man holding scissors came from behind and started cutting her headscarf, the victim said.
The girl turned and screamed, forcing the suspect to flee. But shortly after the first assault, the same man returned and "continued cutting" Noman's headscarf while grinning, before running away.
"Sadly, someone insulted me by cutting my hijab two times," Noman, who was not hurt in the incident, told reporters. "I felt really scared and confused because I didn't feel comfortable that people are doing this."
The hijab is a headscarf worn by many Muslim women who feel it is part of their religion.
Police described the suspect as a medium-built Asian man in his 20s.
'Not what Canada is'
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the attack, along with other Canadian politicians.
"My heart goes out to the young girl who was attacked, seemingly for her religion," he said during a speech in London, Ontario. "I can't imagine how afraid she must have been. I want her and her family and her friends and community to know that that is not what Canada is."
Ontario Prime Minister Kathleen Wynne called the alleged assault a "cowardly act of hatred, which has no place" in the province.
"This is not who we are," she wrote on Twitter. "We must stand firm in our support to this young girl who was assaulted simply for wearing a hijab."
This is a cowardly act of hatred, and it has no place in Ontario. This does not represent who we are. We must stand firm in our support of this young girl who was assaulted simply for wearing a hijab.— Kathleen Wynne (@Kathleen_Wynne) January 12, 2018
Since 2013, hate crime has been on the rise in Canada. In 2016, there were 1,409 police-reported hate crimes, according to Canada's national statistical agency.
Muslims suffered 139 hate crimes in 2016 according to police data, 20 fewer than in 2015.
A gunman shot and killed six Muslim men at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre in Quebec City, the provincial capital, on January 29 last year. Several others were injured.
Incidents of Islamophobia have increased in Quebec in recent years. The full-face covering became a big issue in the 2015 Canadian federal election, especially in Quebec, where the majority of the population supported a ban on it at citizenship ceremonies.
In October last year, Quebec passed a contentious law banning face coverings, which was partly suspended two months later.
After the attack, Noman told local reporters that she was scared to walk to school.
Addressing her attacker, the girl said: "What you're doing is really wrong, you should not act like this, and especially, I'm a kid."

by Sofia Estela '20
For the entire month of November I decided to challenge myself to go vegan, and the main reason as to why I embarked on this journey was to complete my overall goal of being healthier. I decided that clean eating would be my first step. There was no specific source for my idea besides the fact that I had always wanted to give veganism a try, and it was much more difficult than I had anticipated.
Day 1: This vegan thing might be easier than I thought because more food is vegan than I expected, and I like the meat substitutes. However, it seems very expensive (we spent almost $200 at the grocery store!), and the fresh food that I have chosen to incorporate into my diet goes bad very fast.
Day 3: I am doing well with this experiment, but it is difficult to stick to it when my friends and family continuously offer me food with milk or cheese in it.
Day 7: A week down and three more to go. I've been living off of a strict diet of veggie burgers and fruit smoothies, but I don't mind.
Day 12: Eating out is a lot trickier than expected because I don't know what products are involved in the preparation behind the scenes. I'm pretty sure I ate broccoli with butter on it, but I was very hungry and I couldn't resist.
Day 15: Halfway done with my vegan adventure and I'm considering doing this for longer. I find that I have fewer headaches and maybe that's because I've been cooking with better food products. I'm beginning to like this lifestyle and might even consider picking up yoga and campaigning for PETA . Just kidding, my mom is eating chocolate right in front of my face and I might cry.
Day 17: We're running out of food, and I'm getting anxious. What else can I eat? At the moment I'm forced to eat dry Cheerios and spoonfuls of peanut butter. Send help!
Day 23: Thanksgiving. It was a mess, both the vegan and the traditional meal didn't work out and I was confined to chips and guacamole. It sure didn't feel like Thanksgiving. I really wanted to binge on a huge glob of mashed potatoes, but I stuck with it. Although I feel much better physically being vegan, my heart tells me to eat a whole wheel of cheese.
Day 27: We went out for Chinese food this evening and it was pleasantly surprising. They had a ton of vegan and vegetarian options that were all very tasty. A plus for Hunan Delight.
Day 30: Finally this is over. It was not so bad, but I really do miss all of my favorite foods. To wrap up the month I ate a cheese quesadilla. Overall, I felt way better mentally and physically, so maybe it's time to make some permanent healthy changes in my life, even if the changes are not completely vegan.

- 3 racks lamb ribs or pork baby back ribs (approximately 6 pounds)
- 1½ cups dry rub*
- 2–3 cups peach barbecue sauce*
- ½ cup kosher salt
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon each chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, ground ginger, mustard power
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped fine
- 3 strips bacon
- 1 Vidalia onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
- 2 quarts (8 cups) ketchup
- 1 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 dried chipotle chiles, ground in a spice mill or with mortar and pestle
- 2 cups peach juice or nectar
*For the dry rub, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix, taking care to break up brown sugar. Store in container with tight lid.
*For the barbecue sauce, sauté bacon in a 4-quart stockpot until fat is rendered, removing bacon and saving for another use. Add onions and continue to cook until caramelized. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer for 1 hour on low heat, stirring often. Makes 3 quarts. Can be made in advance. Refrigerate for 1 week or freeze up to 6 months.
Coat ribs with dry rub and let stand for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 325°.
Place ribs in baking dish and bake for 2 hours, turning occasionally. Heat grill to medium or prepare coals. Place ribs on grill, mopping with barbecue sauce until sauce has caramelized and ribs are tender and sizzling, being careful not to burn. Remove and serve with extra sauce.
Serves 6.
Note: For smokier flavor, omit the oven step and prepare fire by banking coals to 1 side of the grill. Cook ribs wrapped in foil off the direct heat for two hours, adding coals as needed for a steady, even heat. (Or use top
rack on a gas grill.) Finish over heat as directed above.

I thought I'd put together this tutorial to help
my new students... We always get together and us go over this.. the
captures here ought to help.
Go to FILE/Preferences/General program preferences
On the Miscellaneous tab UNCHECK the show splash
screen *that always bugged me* :-)
On the Display and Caching tab on the left under
presentation.. have all of those checked. Every thing else is left
on default settings.
On the Transparency and Shading tab.. this is
where you can set the color of your transparent grid or checks..
default is grey.. and I HATE grey.. so... I made mine pink.
This is just your personal preference. Click OK..
Go back to File/preferences/ file format Asso.
Select ALL then click OK
File/preferences/Autosave settings.. Check to
enable then set it to 2 mins.. this way if you loose power or PSP
freezes and closes and when you open it again MOST times it
will open what you were working on...
File/preferences/File Locations. This is important
to know... When you install PSP it puts a folder in your
documents... called 'mypspfiles' a folder with lots of folders
inside of it... you need to make ONE more folder inside of it..
called plugins. These folder inside the mypspfiles folder.. is where
you put all your 'goodies' you collect for PSP. Like brushes,
gradients, patterns, plugins, scripts, etc... there IS a picture
tubes folder but the Jasc software tech warned me *back when they
owned PSP* to never put your tubes you collect inside the picture
tube folder.. keep your tubes in another tube folder either in
documents or another hard drive or on desktop.. that way your PSP
isn't bogged down so bad with loading all those tubes.
As you see below.. you click on the left side what
ever file your wanting to add to, for instance
Plugins. Now on the right side ADD
*browse to* the new location of the new folder you just made inside
Docs/mypspfiles named Plugins.
In other words you can store
different things for PSP like masks,
gradients, plugins,
brushes etc in
other locations or on other hard drives. JUST so you tell PSP
where to look for it.. so it can use them. Do this in FILE
Here is a zipped file of empty TUBE folders
already named for organizing your TUBES. When you download the
zip.. just EXTRACT HERE.. don't try to use your unzipper to see
inside.. it will look like its empty if you do that.. just put the
zip where your gonna want to store your tubes and right click and

Trey Songz Talks About Not Being Nominated For Grammys, After The Huge Success Of "Trigga"
Last night, Trey Songz took to twitter expressing his feelings over not being nominated for a Grammy, saying, "I don't rant, this isn't that. TRIGGA #1 album "NaNa" "Touchin Lovin" and "What's Best For You" all #1 on one chart or another. #Grammys ijs."
He later went on to say on Twitter, "My fans give me the real reward no trophy ever could, LOVE. So everytime they give me nothing, I think of you. Thank you, I love you." If this was possibly 10 years ago, I would've told him that his time was coming, but as for right now, Trey Songz just doesn't release real music. He's one of those artist, who I personally think follows trends. I mean, of course I would've really agreed, if this was coming from an artist, that I could really relate with what they were saying, but "Trigga" definitely wasn't a remembered album of 2014. Even with the success of the album, I just couldn't see it being nominated for a Grammy. Like I've said before, don't let the media see you down, as it seems like Trey Songz is looking for a pity party to others. Before expressing his views, Trey Songz took to twitter saying, "10 years I been able to feed my family and have the support of so many people, just for doing what I would do anyway for NOTHING. Music." Personally, I think Trey Songz should've stopped right there. If you would do this for nothing, you wouldn't worry about the awards or success. My website, for example. It's beginning to get a lot of success, but instead of complaining about not getting any hits earlier, I kept writing, because this is a passion of mine. Trey Songz should do the same. I think his time will come, if he treats every album like his first. Not saying he should remake his first album, but Trey Songz delivered on his first album, vocally, and based on songwriting. If he did something like that today, with the level of success he has now, I'm sure his Grammy award or Grammy nomination will come.

BOSTON (CBS) — Craig Kimbrel isn't just slamming the door shut on opponents this season, he's disposing of them with relative ease.
The Red Sox' closer continued his dominating start to the 2017 season on Wednesday night, notching his 15th save in Boston's 4-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. Kimbrel put together another 1-2-3 inning, striking out the side for the seventh time this season.
Matt Davidson, Tim Anderson and Omar Narvaez all went to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning for Chicago and they all went down by way of the K, looking completely overmatched by Kimbrel in the process. After feeding him four straight fastballs, Kimbrel froze Davidson on a 2-2 curve ball to start the frame. He blew Anderson away with a 99 mile per hour fastball and caught Narvaez looking at a 98 mile per hour heater to seal the game for Boston.
Kimbrel has yet to allow a hit to a right-handed batter this season, with righties now 0-for-45 against the Boston closer.
"Nothing is ever given or automatic, but he's pretty darn close right now," Red Sox manager John Farrell said after the victory. "It's efficient. It's two wipe out pitches. It's fun to see."
Kimbrel is up to 45 punch outs in just 24 innings pitched. He hasn't given up a hit in his last nine games, and has issued just three walks this season.
It may have been a bit of a roller coaster when Kimbrel took the mound last season, his first in Boston, but that couldn't be further from the case in 2017. The flame-throwing closer has been lights out for the Red Sox and is on a truly amazing stretch at the moment.
Adam Jones & Nick Cattles discuss Kimbrel's dominant season:

I have a very regular schedule when it comes to Sunday mornings. I get all my stuff together on Saturday night so that I am up and out the door within 15 minutes on Sunday morning. I then head to Starbucks to just make sure details are handled, read and pray. So right now I am sitting at my Starbucks in Blacksburg Virginia, it is currently 6:46am on my last Sunday here.
Blogging isn't a normal part of my routine, but I as I am getting prepared my mind keeps wandering. I keep stumbling upon the question- How did I get here? Don't get me wrong, I mean this with no negativity, just thinking of the progression of life events and being a little nostalgic as I drink this blonde roast. When I take the helicopter view of my life I see God's hand at every turn, every intersection, every decision. This absolutely does not mean every decision I have made has been God ordained, but if it wasn't He used it for his glory.
It simply is amazing how all things become entwined and push toward your purpose as life progresses. For me I look at: leading hand motions in middle school to a cd worship (the best was one the cd skipped and no one knew where it went in the song), starting to lead worship & change overhead projector 'transparencies' on Sunday mornings in high school, playing music for fun at Camp Chof as a couselor, transferring to Liberty and watching worship music done on a scale I had never seen, traveling with the worship band Cross Culture, and so many others. These life events have only cemented my calling to lead worship, it is hilarious that I didn't catch on to where I was being called until very late in my college career, because as I write this it is apparent He had put the 'itch' very early in life. Even to get to this point of moving to Florida has at times felt like a guessing game. There were a bunch of opportunities just in the past year across the US; and visiting with a bunch of people and hearing from these pastors hearts about worship has really only encouraged me in my calling as well!
I say this not to be nostalgic for the sake of being nostalgic but because my God is a big one. He knew where I would be way before I did. The lack of faith I've shown throughout my life is astounding, especially when I can see a clear cut path that He has put before me. I may not know what exactly I am doing or what is exactly expected, but I can see God's hand in it and I am finally to the point where I can actually say that is enough. I am ready to jump with both feet to wherever He calls me.
Here is the point, so many of our decisions here on earth, as humans, parents, workers, ext…are completely based on fear. The fear of getting hurt, fear of embarrassment, fear of losing, fear of what others think, fear of failure. FEAR. I know fear is essential and actually a healthy thing, fear keeps us aware and keeps us alive at times. I am not suggesting to ignore fear, what I am suggesting is to make it less of a factor in your decision process. Christianity would not be where it is today without our forefathers ignoring their fear and trusting God completely and jumping in.
I believe a large part of the problem with American Christianity is that there has not been any fear associated with being a Christian. It has been easy to live as a 'Christian,' no one even questioned it, so it was an easy choice. Right now that is changing, in fact right now I think there is a lot of fear-mongering going on, and it will only continue to be more politically correct to do so. (But that is another blog post entirely :).
I end with a very popular motivational quote, but still rings very true. What great thing would you attempt if you knew would not fail?

It should be against the LAW. Really against the law. I mean . . .
Just who the blank is Lucy van Pelt? You know. So I looked it up, even though the name seemed in the BB's somewhere, but I couldn't access the information. A raising prices on what? Yeah, yeah. Houses did occur to me, but papers don't report much on those type of houses. Well, good news, like.

Yamaha MX49 by Music Bird
Build: Great. It is built very solid, it has 49 keys from the C before middle C to 3 C's above middle C.
Sounds: Let me tell you, I love these sounds. There are a wide variety, like piano, EPs, organs, accordion, harmonica, electric and acoustic guitars, acoustic and electric and synth bass, acoustic and synth brass, strings, wind, synth sounds galore, like lead, pad, and comp (basically synth chords though one of the sounds is monophonic). Some sounds are arpeggios. I like the synth sounds a lot. The sounds all sound good.
No sequencer, but an arpeggiator, which I haven't dived into.
When I use it, I could use it with an iPad, or Cubase.
Weight: pretty light.
Cons: none.

Changes for Greek LR
Theodosis Stamatellos has been promoted to the role of Lloyd's Register (LR) marine area manager for Greece, East Mediterranean and Adriatic (GEMA).
He is replacing Apostolos Poulovassilis, who is set to join tanker owner Eletson.
Stamatellos, 48, joined LR in 2006 after spending 13 years as a principal engineer at ABS.
After the promotion, he will also keep his current position as Greek country manager.
Poulovassilis has spent his entire career with LR, serving various roles over the last 24 years. He became area manager for the east Mediterranean in 2003 and regional manager EMEA in 2009.
The two men have been working closely over the past eight years and Tom Boardley, marine director for LR, said Stamatellos is experienced enough to immediately continue to provide the leadership and support that GEMA clients require.
The promoted manager said: "The consistent delivery of the safety and performance services that our clients need as well as strengthening the role and purpose of classification societies will continue to be the focus of our activities here."
Poulovassilis will remain in his position until the end of November, before joining Greek shipowner Eletson as a senior executive.
Although he could not give further details about his new role, he told TradeWinds: "It is a big challenge for me to work with the Eletson team and take a closer look of ship operations after almost 25 years as a member of a classification society."
This will be the first time Poulovassilis will get involved in commercial shipping business.

Part 8 of the Sacred Mountain Series
As the rain began to let up, Seth asked Gem again, "Are you sure you saw an old woman??" Gem was getting offended now, and said, "Yeees I'm sure!" She pointed in the direction of some trees across the grasslands, and continued with, "She was over there, leaning on a walking stick." "I saw her face in a flash of lightning."
Seth looked at her. He knew they couldn't stay here anymore, it was too dangerous now, with spider people walking around. "Well lets head over there and see what we can find.", he said.
Gem began to tear up when they gathered their gear. "I loved it here Seth, I know we can't stay….but this was our first home!" After embracing, they headed towards where the old woman had been. They saw her tracks in the mud, and just as the sky was beginning to clear, Gem yelled, "Look! There she is!"
Sure enough when Seth looked up the old woman was on a distant hill, watching them. As soon as the old woman saw them both noticing her, she turned and walked away. "Wait!" they yelled, then Seth and Gem both began running.
The old woman was the first human being they had seen, since coming to their new planet. At least she looked like a human being! Gem did have the idea that maybe the woman was not human, but she said nothing. And then the old woman vanished over the other side of the hill.
And by the time they got there, the old woman was on the flatlands, almost a mile away! Seth said out loud, "She could not be that fast!" Gem countered with, "What if she's leading us into a trap?" They both stood there, watching the old woman, considering giving up, when the old woman turned around, and looked at them. Gem whispered, "She sees we're not moving."
But the old woman waved them towards her, making it crystal clear that she wanted them to follow. And this went on for hours, the old woman somehow traveling, without them seeing her move fast at all, and Seth and Gem running to keep up with her.
But at some point Seth and Gem smelled smoke, a cooking fire type of smoke. Was it roasted vegetables they were smelling? And then over the crest of a hill, there it was – a village! And yet there was something different about the people walking around. They all looked the same! Or almost the same.
They had a huge amount of thick, light brown hair, down past their waist, and they wore the same light brown and dark brown clothing. The old woman who was more like Seth and Gem, stood in the middle of the village, but no one seemed to notice her.
She smiled though at the two young lovers that had followed her, and they could hear her speak, but her lips did not move. The old woman said, "Enjoy your time with the Farm People." "They are good people and you will be safe here."
And Gem and Seth both sensed, they would see the old woman again. They weren't sure how, but they knew it for sure. And then the old woman disappeared.

I've been thinking a lot about the bus lately, now that I'm car-less: thinking about what makes a good bus route, how many people take it, etc.
I'm thinking about route: why the bus goes into the parking lot of one grocery store while zooming right past the other, why it stops in the Walmart parking lot and not Target's. (Though perhaps Target intersects with a different route.) Who planned this circuitous route? With what motivations?
In Minneapolis, you had to pay attention to which direction the bus was going. Here, the buses run their loops and meet up at a central transfer station. Which means that it takes me 35 minutes to get to work and only 15 to get home, based on where I am in the loop. I live 4.3 miles from campus, as measured on my bike. (which I do take when the weather agrees. Today, April 20th, it's snowing.)
I'm thinking about how many people take the bus. I like to count how many people there are, rooting for filled seats. Often the bus if half-full at best, although the morning bus driver, whom I've gotten to know a bit, says that in the 22 years he's been driving, Eau Claire (city of 60,000) has gone from carrying 300,000 people annually to over a million.
At the same time I'm rooting for more people to ride the bus, I'm also longing for a car. Because the truth is that, if I had one right now, I'd drive every day that I didn't bike and be happy about it. I'm grateful for the chance to think these thoughts and occasionally meet new people on the bus, but I'm also eyeing every Prius that passes by...

Greek democrats won a victory on ERT Monday, as the BBC News reports in Greek court suspends ERT broadcaster closure 06/17/2013. The conflict over ERT has increased the possibility of new elections coming soon: " as coalition leaders went into talks, the main opposition party Syriza held a rally in Athens' Syntagma Square to demand early elections."
The Austrian news magazine Profil in an article by Christina Hiptmayr asks, Milliarden für Griechenland: Wer sind die Profiteure? ("Billions for Greece: Who are the profiteers?") 17.06.2013. Short answers:
- We can't tell you; it's secret (German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble and Jörg Asmussen, a director of the ECB)
- Deutsche Bank (that doesn't want higher taxes now on financial institutions)
- Some of Greece's creditors (although who benefited by how much, we don't know)
- Big European banks (which ones, consult Herrs Schäuble and Asmussen)
- Hedge funds (for details, ask Schäuble and Asmussen)
- European insurance companies (check with Schäuble and Asmussen on who and how much)
Hiptmayr's article is largely devoted to a new report by the left-leaning ATTAC Austria group, which is often described misleading as an "anti-globalization" group, Greek Bail-Out: 77% went into the Financial Sector 17.06.2013, with additional background material.
When the Greek debt crisis became obvious in 2009, the Troika (EU, ECB, IMF) acting at German Chancellor Angela Merkel's direction and insistence, didn't take the action that even then was very obviously needed, imposing a "haircut," a debt writedown, on the Greek public debt. That would have required Greece's creditors, not least among then German and French banks, to take losses at a time when their income and balance sheets were already under pressure from the "North Atlantic crisis," as Joseph Stiglitz and others describe the current depression.
This Yannis Ioannou cartoon of 06/06/2013 shows predators charging into Greece behind the Troika tank flying the flags of the IMF and the eurozone:
The English version of ATTAC's report concludes, "At least 77% of the bail-out money can directly or indirectly be attributed to the financial sector," though it notes that "the European Union (EU) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have applied 23 tranches comprising €206,9 billion to the so-called 'Greek bail-out'," but "have however provided hardly any documentation on the exact usage of those huge amounts of public funds."
But the report describes the following estimate of how they estimate €204.1 billion of the €206.9 billion was applied:
- €58,2 billion (28,13%) were used to recapitalise Greek banks – instead of restructuring the too big and moribund sector in a sustainable way and letting the banks' owners pay for their losses.
- €101,331 billion (48,98%) went to creditors of the Greek state. €55,44 billion of these were used to repay maturing government bonds – instead of letting the creditors bear the risk for which they had received interest payments before. Another €34,6 billion served as incentive to make creditors agree to the so-called "haircut" in March 2012. €11,3 billion were used in a debt buyback in December 2012, when the Greek state bought back almost worthless bonds from its creditors.
- €43,7 billion (22,46%) went into the national budget or couldn't be definitively attributed.
- €0,9 billion (0,43%) were used as Greek contribution to the new bail-out fund ESM.
Greece wound up with a bailout that prevented them from defaulting on payments to their creditors for a couple of years, while much of the Greek debt was then transferred off the books of private creditors and on to those of public institutions. Not all the beneficiaries were non-Greeks, though:
Among those actually rescued is the multi-billion Latsis clan, one of the richest families in Greece, owning large parts of the state-rescued "Eurobank Ergasias". Speculators benefited, too: During the debt buyback in December 2012, the hedge fund Third Point pocketed €500 million with the aid of European public funds. "When Barroso, the President of the European Commission, labels the so-called Greek bail-out an act of solidarity, you have to ask: Solidarity with whom?", [Lisa] Mittendrein [a member of ATTAC Austria's governing board] comments.The report gives a glimpse of how this "solidarity" bailout may look to Greeks:
- Several times, EU and IMF reneged on their announcements and withheld promised disbursements by weeks or even months to put pressure on Greek democracy: in autumn 2011 to prevent a referendum on austerity policy; in May/June 2012 to raise the chances of Troika-friendly parties in the national elections. By withholding promised funds, the Troika forces the Greek government to issue short-term bonds to avoid imminent bankruptcy. Since those "treasury bills", maturing within a few weeks or months, carry a higher interest rate, this actually increases Greek government debt. This serves as further evidence that debt reduction is not the Troika's main interest, but rather a pretext to push forward the destruction of the welfare state and workers' rights.
- A tranche of €1 billion disbursed in June 2012 was primarily used to finance Greece's compulsory contribution to the EFSF-replacement ESM. Thus, the EFSF financed its own successor – yet not directly but by raising Greek government debt.
Profil's Hiptmayr takes care to distance herself a bit from the hippies at ATTAC Austria with this stale bit of euro-crisis conventional wisdom:
Keine Frage, die Hauptschuld an ihrem Schuldendesaster tragen die Griechen selbst. Doch das Geld, etwa für die Finanzierung ihres aufgeblähten Staatsapparates, haben sie sich von ausländischen Investoren geliehen. Diese haben kräftig mitverdient am Verschwendungswahn Griechenlands.Please. The more German and Austrian media repeat this kind of lazy non-analysis, the more surprised their readers will be when Greece or Spain bails out of the euro and the prices for German and Austrian exports soar, with results most Germans and Austrians will not like.
[No question that the primary fault for the debt disaster lies upon the Greeks themselves. Certainly, foreign investors lent them the financing for their overblown state apparatus. They also mightily empowered Greece's wasteful madness.]
Former SPD Chancellor and longtime professional elder statesman Helmut Schmidt gave an interview to the Handelsblatt paper, "Der Euro ist prima" 17.06.2013, in which he called (somewhat obliquely in the linked report) for a Krugmanesque stimulatory fiscal policies in Germany that would involved increasing German wages and salaries and raise inflation in Germany in order to power a recovery that could lift the rest of the eurozone out of the current recession and put the whole currency zone into a sustainable growth path. He also criticized the exorbitant salaries of bank executives.
I'm confident Angela Merkel won't listen to him. Nor will she listen to his warning that it has been a big mistake for her to play such an obviously leading role in Europe as she has with her austerity policies. He thinks that, because of the Second World War and the Holocaust, such a role would not be feasible for Germany "for centuries."
As part of the current G-8 summit in Northern Ireland, the negotiations officially began on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), another neoliberal project to reduce wages, weaken unions, eliminate worker protections, promote privatization and deregulate corporations. The fact that Merkel is enthusiastic about it is reason enough in itself to be extremely suspicious of it.
Obama spoke about it today along with others. (Remarks by President Obama, U.K. Prime Minister Cameron, European Commission President Barroso, and European Council President Van Rompuy on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership 06/17/2013) According to these fellows, it's all good:
Cameron: "And we should be clear about what these numbers could really mean: 2 million extra jobs, more choice and lower prices in our shops."
Barroso: "I'd rather have our companies invest in you, in overseas products and services and job creation, than in double-testing, or multiple inspections, or even separate manufacturing lines. Our regulators need to build bridges faster and more systematically." Yeah, all this inspecting bridges and such is soo-oooo 20th century! "So even if these negotiations may not always be easy, I'm sure they will be worth it for the sake of the jobs it creates and because of the strategic dimension of what we are doing."
Obama: "It would increase exports, decrease barriers to trade and investment. As part of broader growth strategies in both our economies, it would support hundreds of thousands of jobs on both sides of the ocean."
Van Rompuy: "It shows the political will to work together -- to work together with our long-standing and most trusted partner on the essential objective for governments on either side of the Atlantic -- growth, jobs, and prosperity."
Did I mention they said it would create jobs?

About The University of Mississippi Museum
Author William Faulkner, satirist Stark Young, and art collector Mary Skipwith Buie share something in common—they've all lent their legacies to The University of Mississippi Museum. Originally opened in 1939, the complex encompasses the one-time home of Faulkner, Rowan Oak; registered Mississippi landmark Walton-Young Historic House, which housed famed satirist Stark; and a historic art museum built around Buie's private collection. Today, the museum uses its three sites to preserve and showcase the artistic past and cultural heritage of the American South through exhibits, demonstrations, and education. Guides lead scheduled tours though the historic homes and the museum exhibitions to avoid waking napping sculptures.
Rotating exhibits center on genres such as Southern folk art by self-taught painters, ancient Chinese ceramics art, and mixed-media works by modern artists. The four permanent collections provide a home for lasting assemblages of 19th-century scientific instruments; Greek and Roman works of art; pieces by American modernists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Arthur Dove, and John Marin; and a range of Civil War relics, antique costumes, and letters penned by George Washington and John Adams. As part of the museum's focus on education, instructors lead adult studio workshops on topics such as outdoor nature photography, woodcut printmaking, and watercolors. They also let younger artists explore exhibits, use studio space, and question German expressionism's use of forced perspective in ArtZone and summer camp programs.

Chang Hwa, Chinese Taipei, July 24: Thai brothers Pavit and Annop Tangkamolprasert will be aiming to cement their spots inside the top-five on the Asian Development Tour (ADT) Order of Merit when the Taifong Open gets underway on Friday.
The US$160,000 Taifong Open has been reduced to 54 holes with the first round rescheduled to start on Friday due to the inclement weather caused by Typhoon Matmo which hit Chinese Taipei on Wednesday morning.
The Taifong Open will now be a three-day event as officials are working to ensure that the Taifong Golf Club is in playable condition before the start of the ADT event.
As the richest tournament on the schedule, the Taifong Open will play a big role in determining the Order of Merit race where the top five players at the end of the season will secure Asian Tour card for 2015.
An in-form Chan Shih-chang of Chinese Taipei, who claimed his maiden professional win in the last edition of the Taifong Open in 2010, will lead the charge for honours alongside a talented cast which includes Pavit and Annop, American Brett Munson and Peter Richardson of England.
Local hero Lin Wen-tang and three-time Asian Tour winner Angelo Que of the Philippines, who is playing on a sponsor's invite, will also feature in the Taifong Open, which is the 10th stop on the ADT schedule this season.
Pavit currently sits in third place on the Merit rankings with total earnings of US$18,195 while younger brother Annop trails by about US$2,800 in fifth. Chan leads the Order of Merit on US$28,816 courtesy of two ADT victories.
Pavit, who claimed his breakthrough win at the 2013 ADT season-ending event in January is feeling upbeat about his game and is determined to play his way onto the premier Asian Tour.
"I'm happy with my game. I think my driving and my approach shots are very good. I just have to putt well this week. I had a two-week break before going to play in Jakarta because I was really tired. I'm glad I took the rest because I managed to get a good result in Jakarta last week," said the 25-year-old Pavit.
"My main focus for this year is to do well on the ADT. It's good to see my younger brother in a good position on the Order of Merit as well. I hope we can both play on the Asian Tour next season," added Pavit.
Annop, aiming for a first ADT win, is bracing himself for a tough time at the Taifong Golf Club where windy conditions are expected to make life difficult for the ADT talents.
"I have a few top-10s this year and I'm definitely looking forward for more but hopefully I can get a win if I'm lucky. The playing condition is always tough in Chinese Taipei, especially with the strong winds," said Annop, who has four top-10s so far this season.
The Thai brothers are glad to have the company of each other while they work hard and strive towards winning.
"We normally practice and travel together. It's definitely good to have a brother, who is like a good friend, travelling together with you. We can help look out for each other too," said Annop.
"I don't see Annop as a competitor even though he's also chasing for an Asian Tour card! It would be awesome if we can both make it onto the Asian Tour at the end of the season. We travel with a group of Thai players as well and we are like a team," said Pavit.
The Taifong Open was previously staged for five editions on the domestic circuit and will be returning to the highly-rated Taifong Golf Club after a four-year lapse for its ADT debut this week.
The winner of the Taifong Open will receive US$28,000 in total, as well as six Official World Ranking Points (OWGR).
This season, the ADT will reward the top five players on the final Order of Merit with playing rights for the 2015 Asian Tour season. Previously, only the top-three players were offered Asian Tour cards.

And… I'm back! Apologies for the long delay – the longest I've ever left this blog, I believe, to my eternal shame. I'd love to update this thing every day and use it as a diary to keep track of my life (which was what I intended to do when I first started blogging three years ago), but the problem is that to be able to write about your life, you need to find time to live it, and I've been doing that instead.
The weekend before last was spent running around Hampton Court, the Tower of London and Richmond Park with my friends Matt and Pet Shop Anny, also finding time to see the Sex And The City movie (which I loved!) and to eat lots of cheesecake (seriously, the peach cheesecake at the Tower of London is worth losing your head over). We also saw the Lord of the Rings musical at long last, which was absolutely staggering – my jaw dropped several times, and I'm not just using that as a well-worn cliche because it actually did. I may even have drooled a little at the Balrog. Sadly, though, while the show was visually incredible with set design that may never be equalled, the story was abysmally put together and the acting terrible. For everything that was wonderful there was something terrible; a real mish-mash of genius and amateurism. What a pity…
My flat is currently being decorated, too, which hasn't helped. I've spent the last week marooned on my bed, surrounded by piles of furniture, as my lounge was stripped, plastered and wallpapered and my leaking roof fixed by teams of builders. It's been chaos, but fun chaos, helped along by the fact that my decorating is being carried out by a woman who leaves the place spotless each night and even does all the washing up for me if she's so much as used one mug. No builders' bums and clocking out at 4.30pm here – she's working from 8am till 8pm and doing a grand job! My flat will look amazing once she's finished and it won't have cost me a penny (barring the provision of cups of tea), thanks to my lovely landlord. Boy, I picked a good one there!
I've also been very busy with work; in addition to my usual shifts on DVD & Blu-ray Review I've had lots of features to write and reviews to do, although it's been problematic getting to film screenings of late because some thieving sonofabitch is stealing my post – usually DVDs and press tickets sent by film companies. Thus I couldn't get into the press screening of Indy and had to wait to see it at the cinema, and my tickets for Prince Caspian (which I reviewed for SFX) failed to turn up, either – thankfully I found a spare.
The final straw came when my tickets for the new Will Smith movie, Hancock, disappeared a few days ago. Furious, I marched down to the sorting office in Twickenham and demanded to speak to a manager. I informed the slightly bewildered gentleman who appeared before me that I'd lost two packages and four letters in the last month, that my neighbour had lost three letters on top, and that we'd both complained to no avail. I then told him that I was a journalist who worked for the BBC and I was going to write a feature on how the Royal Mail routinely misplaced and stole post and couldn't seem to do anything about it.
You know, it's amazing how apologetic people can be when you threaten to put them on the news. I don't think anything will go missing again… But I'll keep you posted. Pun intended.
In other news: Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. After years of waiting, after decades of Indy love and the knowledge that the new movie couldn't possibly live up to the hype, it turned out that we were right. It had its moments, true: a few decent chase scenes, the line "They weren't you, honey," and that eerie opening sequence set among the soon-to-be-bombed dummies. But as soon as I saw the CGI groundhog I suspected things were going to go awry, and after it popped up two more times (overkill, anyone?) I was convinced. The monkey sequence, the dumb inter-dimensional ending, the way that Indy didn't really do anything, well, Indy-ish for the entire film – all of it added up to a rather sad movie experience.
Ford was still good despite his age and Shia LaBeouf wasn't as dreadful as I'd feared (Transformers was enough to put me off him for life, and I only managed 20 minutes of Disturbia before having to turn the film off through sheer hatred for his twitchy, arrogant character). However, when you have to list the few things that were right about the film to offset the phone-book-sized list of things that were wrong, you know you're in trouble. What a shame.
It's been a month of disappointments, actually. I've just spent three days in Torquay, my home for over 20 years, and I'm heartbroken at the state of the place. My beautiful town has been turned into a mishmash of pubs, clubs and bars pumping out music so loud the ground shakes as you walk by them. Gangs of hen and stag-night drunks roam the streets; teenagers in shockingly revealing outfits stagger about on preposterously high heels. Groups of liquored-up men prowl after the women and argue among themselves like hyenas after a kill.
It's not just the nightlife that's an issue, either: the town needs a serious facelift. The seafront and promenade, the jewel in the crown of the English Riveria and the attraction that brings in the holidaymakers (the town's lifeblood), is falling apart with huge areas fenced off because they're in danger of dropping into the sea.
The illuminations are grotty and everything metal (railings, seats, lamp posts) seems to be rusting away in the sea air. Over the last few years bars have opened and then gone out of business, leaving ugly empty buildings dotted over the town. Nobody in Torquay has any money so no new businesses are moving into them. Every year the number of tourists having a happy, family holiday in Torquay must dwindle. There's nothing 'happy' or 'family' about Torquay any more.
Nothing hit me harder than the sight of the housing estate which has sprung up on the beautiful, tree-filled open space sitting next to my childhood home. I once threw myself in front of a moving bulldozer to save those trees – I made the local paper under the headline 'Tearful Teenager Stops Bulldozer' – and managed to get the police to throw the diggers off the field because the trees they were knocking down were protected. My little victory all those years ago has come to naught, as have those poor, doomed trees. It's like my childhood loves have been raped.
The only good thing about Torquay is Oddicombe Beach. Still untouched (rockfalls cordoning off one section of the beach aside), this beautiful place has actually improved: the cliff railway has been revamped and the beach cafe – where I once held a summer job, watching the sun rise and set on the waves in front of me as I served holidaymakers cups of coffee – seems to be thriving. Thank goodness for that! But I only hope it lasts.
I guess the old saying is true: "You can't go home again." And I certainly won't, for a good long while, at least. I accept that things change, but why must they change for the worse?
On the plus side, I live in London now. And London is truly lovely…
But I guess I'm slightly biased.

I met friend of yours the other night (in New Jersey!)and we made the small world connection of Silver Spring and you guys. Anyway, she told me you had a blog so I came here to find you and tag you in a post that has come to me. At first, (honestly)it was because I am a new blogger and don't know many people to tag. But after reading this, I'm tagging you because you are freakin' hysterical! I only wish I didn't have to move to New Jersey to figure out you were here. I will send everyone I know here because I am still wiping tears away from laughter. Also, maybe a little terror tear because my third (and last) also falls into the "no sleep" category-for 2 and a half years now. So, I feel your pain.

I am really looking forward to when my husband can "take care" of our daughter during the nights. Right now I cherish our nighttime nursing so much (she's only 11 weeks old), but I can see in a year or so that, you know, MAYBE I want to sleep through a night ;)

It's great that in the morning you had more perspective. We have SUCH a tough job as parents, and the last thing we should be doing is beating up on ourselves -- yet it's often the first thing we do.Tatiana @ averygoodyear.nethttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994805344423241694.post-78981910430514902832009-05-03T17:58:00.000-07:002009-05-03T17:58:00.000-07:00Sleep deprivation has been my mommy tipping point ...Sleep deprivation has been my mommy tipping point every time. It's the thing that makes me crack - I guess that's why they use it to torture people because it works. The one thing I always try to keep in perspective at moments like that (and during the stomach flu) is my mantra "this too shall pass" One day, you will sleep again - in the meantime take naps if you can or trade off with your sweet hubby like when the baby was a new baby. Good luck.

This is a really unexpected and great looking combination! I definitely have a soft spot for chartreuse. Great job matching the kind of awkward base colour of the leggings to the sleeves of the chest piece, I love it! 🙂
Into the black and twisted forest
"But the forest is queer… And the trees do not like strangers. They watch you. They are usually content merely to watch you, as long as daylight lasts, and don't do much… But at night things can be most alarming, or so I am told. I have only once or twice been in here after dark, and then only near the hedge. I thought all the trees were whispering to each other, passing news and plots along in an unintelligible language; and the branches swayed and groped without any wind."
Merry, The Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring
The Old Forest is located on the eastern border of Buckland, near the Shire, along with Fangorn, is all that remained of a vast and ancient primordial forest that once coveredall of Eriador before the Second Age, and is one of the few forests that the Elves decided to wake and teach to speak. In the Second Age, the forest came under threat by the cutting of trees perpetrated by the Númenoreans. Later, when Sauron declared war on the elves, the havoc he created resulted in the near destruction of Eriador and the burning of a large part of the forest.
A valley lay at the center of the wood and the Withywindle river flowed through it. A strange power flows alongside the water, an ancient and twisted power…
It is the consciousness of the Old Man Willow, a great willow tree, the root cause of much of the Forest's anger and hatred toward the trespassers that pass through there. He may have once been an Ent who with the passing of time had become a Huorn. He has great power within the Old Forest, adventurers who wander near its roots will slowly fall into slumber, and most likely will be engulfed into the forest itself…
When all seems lost, search for the light in the dark
Yellow strikes again! With the blue-greenish light that there is in the old forest, yellow dye turned out a nice shade of bright green in this travelling outfit, and it goes well with the landscape. Old forest scared me a bit the first time I ventured there, with all the twists and turns, trees and spiders that infest the place and jump at you from the foliage, I was relieved when I discovered Tom Bombadil's cottage… "Hey do merry do!" XD It is nice to wander in there at higher levels, and explore without having to constantly look for mobs. The forest also has a magical feel to it.

On Tuesday, several of us spent most of the day at New Hampshire Art Association's gallery hanging the holiday show. This is an annual event where we turn the walls almost into an old-fashioned salon. The exhibit is separated into a $200 and above category which is in the normal gallery and a $200 and under which is in the East Gallery. The small works gallery in the back will also be open. Besides a large number of works on the wall, there are also a number of portfolio racks displaying matted pieces by NHAA members. This is a wonderful opportunity to buy a piece of art without buying the frame. I like to buy work this way because I can postpone part of the cost of the purchase. I can pay for the art now and pay for the framing next month. Sometimes that's easier on the budget. It also allows me to pick the frame that will look best in my house.
The East Gallery is basically floor to ceiling art. That's a good thing and a bad thing. It makes it harder to see each individual piece, but there's a huge selection of artwork, all $200 or less. My advice, take the time to look through the exhibits. There are wonderful pieces in a variety of styles and colors and prices. You may find the piece that is just perfect for you, or for a gift. That's the part I always like about this show. There is so much work to choose from. Maybe you'll find a piece by one of your favorite artists or maybe you'll find a new favorite artist.
For my contribution, I've chosen 6 of my 4″ Color Block Paintings for the East Gallery's $200 and under exhibit and a combination of pieces for the $200 and up category – a lovely wet in wet watercolor, a black & white piece, and one of my newer 8″ Color Block paintings. I hope you enjoy the show and find the perfect piece of art.
The reception for this show will be Friday from 5 to 8 pm as part of Art 'Round Town. The show will be up until the end of December.

Going by three distinct resorts for 10 days each over Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, Pancras was especially stunned at the unending potential outcomes offered by Tomamu. Japan is the main ski goal where I genuinely feel like I'm a piece of something other than what's expected than the ordinary European American ski culture, and I cracking affection it. https://www.courseworkcamp.co.uk/write-my-coursework

Singer/songwriter Lanae Hale, has become a new favorite of ours. Her acoustic guitar driven music with honest, and introspective lyrics drew us in right away. About a week ago Cecily and I were watching Check The Sound (which is a music show on Daystar), when we heard Lanae perform for the first time.
She performed a song called "Back And Forth" that immediately caught our attention. Even from the first verse we instantly felt connected to her music. The lyrics being so honest and her voice carrying so much vulnerability. Later on in the show we found out where so much of that vulnerability comes from, as she shared the testimony of her struggle with self injury. She shared openly and honestly about how cutting became her way of silencing the pain in her life and quickly spiraled into a three year addiction. She struggled with suicidal thoughts, and knew if she didn't change her life, she was going to die. She shared that a verse of scripture in Psalms 1:47-3 which says,"He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.", was the verse God used to free her of the addiction.
If you have ever struggled with an addiction to self injury or know someone who has, or if you have ever dealt with deep depression then I definitely recommend checking out Lanae Hale's music, you will instantly feel the emotion in her songs as if they were written for you. Lanae's honesty is refreshing, in a world where so often people, especially Christians, hide their addictions and struggles. With well thought out and emotional lyrics Lanae shows that it is okay to open up and talk unashamed about the things we hide, and the love of a God who saves us, heals our hearts, and binds up our wounds.
You can download for free Lanae Hale's song "Back and Forth" on her website www.Lanaehale.com, where you can also buy her cd as well as read Lanae's testimony.
Below is a video of Lanae performing her song "Back And Forth" ~

We booked this because of the location. It turned out to be convenient, but we didn't really care for the gaslamp district (too much of a frat party vibe), but the hotel was not so close to that area to be annoying. As others have noted, you do hear drunk people yelling on the street late at night.
Otherwise, the room was clean and spacious (we had a superior king room on the corner). The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was easy to walk to places, and also easy to get on the highway for driving up to La Jolla or other spots.
It was a good value, and if you want to stay downtown, it seems like a great choice.More
