The State of Israel was created in a peaceful and legal process by the United Nations. It was not created out of Palestinian lands, but rather out of the Ottoman Empire, which had been ruled for 400 years by the Turks who lost it when they, fighting alongside Germany, were defeated in World War I. There were no "Palestinian" lands at the time because there were no people claiming to be Palestinians, but rather simply Arabs who lived in the region of Palestine. It was only after World War I that the present states of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq were also created – also out of the Turkish Empire by the British and French victors. Jordan was created on about 80 percent of the Palestine Mandate, which was originally designated by the League of Nations as part of the Jewish homeland. Since then, Jews have been prohibited from owning property there. In 1947, a UN partition plan mandated the creation of two states on the remaining 20 percent of the Palestine Mandate: the State of Israel for the Jews, and another state for the stateless Arabs. But the rulers of eight Arab states did not want a non-Arab state anywhere in the Middle East. Thus they rejected the UN arrangement and simultaneously launched a three-front war of annihilation against the newly created state of Israel -- on the very day of its creation in 1948. Israel begged for peace and offered friendship and cooperation to its neighbors. The Arab dictators rejected this offer and answered it with a war, which they ultimately lost. A state of war in the Middle East has continued uninterruptedly ever since, because most of the Arab states have refused to sign a peace treaty with Israel, and have refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Jewish state. To this day, the Arab states and the Palestinians refer to the failure of their effort to destroy Israel as Al-Nakba -- The Catastrophe. What for one people was a joyous founding, was seen by the other as a disaster. Had there been no invasion of Israel by Arab armies whose intent was overtly genocidal, there would have been a state of Palestine in the West Bank and Gaza since 1948. From 1949 to 1956, Egypt waged war against Israel, launching more than 9,000 attacks from terrorist cells set up in the refugee camps of the Gaza Strip. The 1956 "Sinai campaign" ended Egypt's terror war, even though U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower forced Israeli Prime Minister Ben Gurion to return the Sinai to Egypt without a peace treaty. But the Arab war continued on other fronts. In 1964, Yasser Arafat began a campaign of terror whose avowed goal was the destruction of Israel and the genocide of its Jews. Sponsored first by Kuwait, and later by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, and Iran, Arafat declared unending war against Israel until all of "Palestine" would be liberated, redeemed in "fire and blood." In 1967, Egypt, Syria and Jordan attacked Israel for a second time and were again defeated. It was in repelling these aggressors that Israel came to control the West Bank and the Gaza strip, as well as the oil-rich Sinai desert. Israel elected not to annex these territories it had captured from the aggressors, but neither did it withdraw its armies or relinquish its control over the region because the Arabs once again refused to make peace. In 1973 the Arab armies again attacked Israel. This invasion was led by Syria and Egypt, abetted by Iraq, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and five other countries that gave military support to the aggressors. Israel again defeated the Arab forces. Afterwards, Egypt -- and Egypt alone -- agreed to make a formal peace. In 1987 the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) initiated a violent, six-year Intifada (uprising) directed against Israeli soldiers and civilians alike, after false rumors of Israeli atrocities had circulated through Palestinian territories. During the first four years of the uprising, Palestinians carried out more than 3,600 Molotov cocktail attacks, 100 hand grenade attacks, and 600 assaults with guns or explosives. These actions resulted in the deaths of 16 Israeli civilians and 11 Israeli soldiers, in addition to the wounding of more than 1,400 Israeli civilians and 1,700 Israeli soldiers. In 1993 the Oslo peace process was initiated, based on the pledge that both parties would renounce violence as a means of settling their disputes. But the Palestinians never followed through on this pledge. During the so-called "peace process" -- between 1993 and 1999 -- they perpetrated more than 4,000 terrorist attacks that resulted in the deaths of more than 1,000 Israelis. During this same period, Israel gave the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza a self-governing authority, a 40,000-man armed "police force," and 95 percent of the territory their negotiators demanded. But Israel's efforts to achieve peace were in vain. In 2000, the Palestinians officially launched a new, second Intifada against Israel, effectively terminating the peace process.

Driving down the road a little, there are places such as Quick Check, Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds, Burger King, and Dairy Queen.

The classes are a bit hard, depending on what you're learning and also your forte. For example, the science classes for me are harder than a music class since my forte is definitely not science.
Tips for prospective students
Take advantage of the summer classes as well as the online classes. Summer classes may seem like a pain, but they are only three times a week for about a month. It helps graduating faster!

Tips for prospective students
Way to go! You are a future student of Warren County Community College! I'm appaulding you because you are making such a smart choice! WCCC offers a large range of certificate and degree programs that are designed to help you enter your career path or transfer to a four-year college or university. There is a specific club that is great for new students, which is called the Educational Opportunity Fund club (EOF). This club provides additional support for students as they transition into college life. It is a great time to be enrolling at WCCC due to their recent merge with Felician College for a bachelor's degree program. According to the Warren Reporter, Starting this fall, students who have obtained an associates degree from WCCC or who have completed two years of schooling at any institution may take classes toward a bachelor's degree in the areas of criminal justice, business, education and nursing, with advanced degrees to follow if there is sufficient demand. If you were thinking of transferring after two years you might not even have to, if you are interested in the degree areas that were listed. By choosing this path you are getting a degree with a four-year college for CHEAPER! If you are interested in applying for scholarships or finnancial aid you can either check out the website listed below or schedule an appointment with a representative in the financial aid office. There are many grant programs offered through the state of New Jersey. There are also grants that are awarded based on academics, and not just financial need. This is a great opportunity, check it out! Log on to www.warren.edu.

If you are attending community college you are making a very smart choice! Don't fret when all your friends go away to expensive universities and you are stuck commuting to community college! In the long run you will be the one without major student debits! People don't always realize it but community college is a steal! Warren County doesn't only have a cheap tuition, but it also has up to date information in every classroom that you would receive at a major university. You are receiving just about the same knowledge as students who are attending four-year colleges or university. And guess what? You're saving thousands of dollars!
Am enjoying being here
Warren County is a small college, but the student body and faculty make things so enjoyable. Their friendly and motivated attitudes make you really enjoy your college experience. There are plenty of activities to choose from at this school. The clubs range from sports, literacy/writing, music, religion, leadership, honors society etc. For example, if you like sports WCCC has a flag football, soccer, and volleyball club! Many students participate in these clubs because it's a great way to meet new people and just have a good time! Not into sports? No problem! There are plenty of other clubs that may satisfy your interests. If you're into literacy or writing you may want to consider clubs like Ars Poetica. This club involves students' poetry, short stories, and art work that is published annually in the college's literary magazine. If you've got talent show it off! This school is always open to new ideas for clubs, so never hesitate to share your ideas!
Am learning a lot
When people hear community college they automatically think you will achieve a mediocre education, but they are wrong! Warren County Community college is full of well educated professors. In fact, most of their professors have taught at major universities like Rutgers.

iOS 5.1 beta shows that quad-core processors are coming to iPad and iPhone
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Rumors
It's expected that Apple's next mobile iOS processor, which will likely be called the A6, will debut alongside the new iPad 3 that should be introduced sometime in the next month or two. Today we're learning that the latest iOS 5.1 beta includes processing core management controls that support both dual-core and quad-core chips. One would of course conclude that the expectation here is that the A6 processor will be a quad-core chip. There's nothing more than rumor for now, but it definitely wouldn't surprise us, based on Apple's update cycle. There are already quad-core Android tablets floating around, and we find it a little hard to believe (though not impossible) that Apple would stick witha dual-core chip rather than iterating to a quad-core design for the next iPad and the iPhone 5.
What do you think? Sound off in the comments!

Russia was poised Thursday to break the hearts of some Bay Area families and others nationwide awaiting the arrival of orphaned Russian children they have met and chosen to adopt.
In a brusque move aimed at rebuking American foreign policy, the Russian Parliament on Wednesday approved an immediate U.S. adoption ban, and President Vladimir Putin said he is likely to sign it.
"Everybody's devastated," said Janet Shirley of Bay Area Adoption Services in Mountain View.
Among those petitioning to stop the ban is 18-year-old Anastasia Helberg, whose life brightened when she moved to California from a crowded Russian orphanage seven years ago.
Putin "is not thinking about these kids," she said. "It's really sad that these kids are stuck there and have no chance to come over here and live a normal life with a family."
American families have welcomed more than 60,000 Russian children into their homes since 1992, including nearly 1,000 last year, but an escalating diplomatic dispute threatened a sudden end to the exchange.
About 740,000 Russian children live without their parents, most of them in state-run institutions, according to the United Nations Children's Fund, which on Thursday urged the Russian government to "let the best interests of children" determine its policies.
One California family working with a Pleasant Hill adoption service is in Russia now with a newly adopted child, hoping to fly out before the ban takes effect. Two other families have bonded with their children and are waiting for a hearing in Russian adoption courts, so the children are not yet legally theirs.
Several other Bay Area families are in some stage of adopting but declined to speak publicly, fearing that the exposure could damage their chances.
The Russian bill calls for the ban to take effect Tuesday, though adoption agencies hope Putin, if he enacts it, abides by an agreement that requires a yearlong delay.
Russian lawmakers are using the ban to retaliate against new American travel and financial sanctions targeting Russians accused of human rights violations. The controversy also reflects deeper Russian concerns about losing children to foreigners, especially amid several well publicized cases of American abuse and neglect.
Russia was the third most popular country for U.S. adoptions in 2011 after China and Ethiopia, despite an increasingly laborious and costly process that requires prospective American parents to visit the country three times to bond with the child, attend a court hearing and undergo a battery of background checks.
"Russian adoptions are probably -- on a scale of zero to 10 -- they're 9.5 in difficulty," Shirley said. "Parents who adopt from Russia are very dedicated."
Some white couples or Russian-Americans look to the country for children who share their fair complexion or cultural ties; single mothers choose to adopt there because Russia, unlike many countries, doesn't require married parents; and parents desiring to adopt children as young as 12 months also find more options in Russia, adoption coordinators said.
Amid domestic protests over the proposed ban, Russian leaders promised Thursday to improve the lives of abandoned Russian children and those with medical conditions so that they don't have to leave. Legislators have pledged to clean up the nation's shabby patchwork of more than 2,000 orphanages and encourage more domestic adoptions and foster care. Those who have found homes with loving American families remain skeptical.
Now a high school senior living with her adoptive parents in Lafayette, Helberg grew up bunking with other orphaned girls in the rust-belt Russian city of Yoshkar-Ola some 500 miles east of Moscow.
Many abandoned children who aged out of her orphanage fell into street crime or prostitution, she said.
"I know that I would have not been in a good place if I were still in Russia," she said. "I would not have the things I have today. No family, and no money."
The Russian consulate in San Francisco declined to discuss the proposed ban "because it hasn't been passed yet," said consular spokesman Yevgeny Avdoshian. "We don't comment on the work of the legislative branch."
U.S. diplomats, however, voiced "deep concerns" over the Russian government's maneuvers. ___

Estonia never quite became a true Soviet republic following its annexation by Stalin in 1940, somehow maintaining its language and culture. Now a dynamic western European country following independence in 1991, you will be dazzled by medieval Tallinn, formidable castles, wilderness areas and pristine beaches.
Most Estonia holidays concentrate on the wonderful city of Tallinn with its maze of medieval cobbled streets that teem with tiny shops, pavement cafés and stylish restaurants. Don't miss impressive Kadriorg Palace, a Baroque masterpiece that was once Peter the Great's summer palace. To this day the border town of Narva continues to defend Estonia as its imposing castle stares broodily across the river at Russia's Ivangorod Castle.
Covered by wilderness areas of forest and remote offshore islands, Estonia holidays are invigorating for those who love hiking and cycling. Best explored by bicycle, windmills, wooden churches and lighthouses are scattered across Saaremaa island, linked to the mainland by ice in winter. Follow trails past lakes and waterfalls and along the rugged coastline in Lahemaa National Park and then spend a few days relaxing in the spa town of Parnu, with its white-sand beaches, historic town and quiet leafy streets which come alive on warm summer nights.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jason Leffler, like every other racer, understood the risks of his profession. It's a conversation he had with his longtime girlfriend when his NASCAR prospects dried up and a return to the sprint car circuit was the only way he could compete on a regular basis.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jason Leffler, like every other racer, understood the risks of his profession. It's a conversation he had with his longtime girlfriend when his NASCAR prospects dried up and a return to the sprint car circuit was the only way he could compete on a regular basis.
It wasn't a glamorous life, and it certainly wasn't going to make him rich. But it was a chance to race and, man, did Leffler love racing.
"We'd talked a lot about these cars and the dangers involved and Jason accepted it because he said all the time, 'I'd rather my son see me live a happy life then see me sitting in a job I hate being miserable,"' Julianna Patterson told the Associated Press on Monday. "Jason was amazing. He was ornery. His life was Charlie, racing, family and friends. In that order. But Charlie was the most important. Charlie was his entire world."
That was evident long before Leffler's death in an accident at a dirt track in New Jersey last Wednesday. The 37-year-old divorced father's Twitter feed and Instagram account were a loving tribute to 5-year-old Charlie Dean, his only child. There were photos of the first day of school, the two eating ice cream together, playing on the floor, hanging out at a race track, wearing matching sunglasses and, last month, Charlie's kindergarten graduation.
"Everybody knows how racers are, it's all they focus on," Leffler's older brother, Chris, told AP. "But fatherhood really changed him, that's for sure. It was all about Charlie. Jason took Charlie wherever he could, tried to show him everything. He really grew as an adult after Charlie was born because all his best intentions were for Charlie. He wasn't worried so much for himself anymore."
Although Leffler spent a decade racing in NASCAR, he wasn't a star and he certainly wasn't a household name. But he was extremely popular among his peers and everyone knew about his love for Charlie. It was plain to see on Sunday, as Greg Biffle held his own daughter in Victory Lane at Michigan, lamenting how Leffler didn't get to spend Father's Day with his son, and after Kasey Kahne climbed from his burning car he spoke not of the cut tire that cost him a win, but of the friend he lost.
"Jason Leffler was a good buddy of mine and it's neat to see how the racing world and the fans and his friends and everybody has supported him for the last four or five days," Kahne said. "That showed the person and the racer that he was."
Far more important than a racer was Leffler's job as father.
On Monday, Leffler's girlfriend, brother and representatives at Spire Sports discussed his financial situation to clear up growing misconceptions and rumors about the estate he left behind for Charlie.
His former sister-in-law told Sporting News on Friday that Leffler did not have life insurance when he died. But it's not that simple and some believe that was a deliberate attempt to solicit donations to an account that had been established for both Charlie and Leffler's ex-wife.
"It's insane that someone would bring this up, would bring up life insurance, within a day of this happening. We haven't even had the funeral yet," Patterson said. "Jason would never have left Charlie with nothing. Never. To suggest otherwise is not true and it's evil.
"I remember he went into Charlie's room one night before bed and said to him, 'Everything I do is for you,' and Charlie hugged him and said, 'You almost made me cry, Dad.' Those two loved each other more than anything in the entire world."
The reality is that disability and life insurance for race car drivers are expensive and difficult to get — usually issued only by Lloyds of London — and the premiums are substantial. Leffler's last full Nationwide season was in 2011, and he'd run just 12 NASCAR races in 2012.
He didn't have deep resources to buy insurance anymore; the night he was killed, the winner was guaranteed just $7,000. So perhaps Leffler didn't think life insurance was the best investment for Charlie Dean's future.
But Leffler still invested specifically with his son in mind, his loved ones say, and took steps to ensure his son would be cared for before his death and in the event of his death. He had disability insurance and other policies, and funds established for Charlie.
"He absolutely bent over backward to do whatever was best for Charlie," said Chris Leffler, executor of the drivers' will. "He probably could have held on to a lot more in the divorce. But he sacrificed, did without, and has done whatever necessary to make sure Charlie is taken care of. I've seen a little bit of what's been insinuated and it's disappointing."
Although Leffler made sure Charlie was provided for, The Charlie Dean Leffler Discretionary Trust was announced Saturday with three trustees. It was created in part because the racing community and fans often contribute regardless of need — more than $650,000 was raised for two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon's family following his 2011 death — and to ensure any money donated went solely to Charlie's needs.
Leffler, Charlie and Patterson had planned to move into a new apartment this weekend, and Charlie had been so excited for his new bed and the flags that were going to be hung in his new room. He'd only in the last year begun to understand his father's place in the racing world, and at Christmas when he was given Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne trading cards, Charlie only wanted cards of his dad.
He'd recently learned how to Google his father, Patterson said, and once even asked Leffler for his autograph. They lived together as a little family for two years, baking cookies and making every color of Jell-O possible, taking long walks with Charlie's compass and binoculars and playing sprint cars on the floor.
"All Jason would want now is for Charlie to know who his dad was, to be cared for and to know how much he loved his little dude," Patterson said. "He wasn't irresponsible, he wasn't careless and he wasn't reckless. He took every step possible because Charlie was his world."

It's that time of year again: Oxygen needs you to be bad, girls,
Casting directors from Bunim/Murray Productions are coming back to Chicago on Saturday to conduct an open casting call for Oxygen's hit show "Bad Girls Club."
"Bad Girls Club" tosses a cast of self-proclaimed "bad girls" in a beautiful mansion and lets them have it each other. "These women recognize that their fun, outrageous behavior has hindered their relationships, careers, and lives," says a press release. "Will living together help them move forward and turn their lives around--or will the claws come out and chaos rule?"

… There are now in the library more than twenty thousand perhaps more than thirty thousand unbound pamphlets, most of which have been added by my own exertions & catalogued by myself. The extra labor it has cost me has been very great, but I know, that this collection will be exceedingly valuable hereafter. An eagerness will be manifested by posterity to look into every thing of a permanent or ephemeral character which can throw any light upon the workings, civil, moral, theological, benevolent, social, etc. etc. during the existence of the Federal Constitution…

John Langdon Sibley's diary (known as Sibley's private journal), 1846-1882 (HUG 1791.72.10), transcription.
As one of a few institutions to have consistently collected pamphlets published during the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries, Harvard holds tens of thousands of these pamphlets, covering diverse and eclectic topics. Pamphlets are ephemeral publications, often by small presses with short print runs and limited distribution, many of which have been difficult for scholars to consult as a scholarly resource because of scarcity and lack of detailed description. The Pamphlet Digitization Program of the Harvard College Library is a long-term effort to catalog and digitize these substantial pamphlet holdings to provide an enduring resource. As a fully cataloged and text-searchable collection, digitized pamphlets offer a unique opportunity for scholars to explore and trace historical events, political movements, economic developments, social changes, rhetoric and debate from a wide array of perspectives, including independent voices and those from established institutions and organizations. In addition to conventional pamphlet publications, this collection also includes other materials such as government documents, speeches, extracts from journals, reports, manifestos, and various proceedings.
Areas currently covered in this digital collection include Latin America, World War I, Sociology, the Boer War, and Brittany. As additional pamphlets are cataloged and digitized, they will be added to this online collection. For more complete bibliographic data, please see the HOLLIS catalog. To search only the Latin American Pamphlets please see the Latin American Pamphlet Digital Collection.

[Girl Moaning]
Don Dolmes: I, uh, I feel good about today. You know? Uh, it's a great scene, it's really intimate. Uh, I, you know, I love my job. I love my job. I love women. Uh, I respect them. Um, they're just like guys, they just wanna bust a nut.
Announcer: Don Dolmes was the largest grossing adult film actor of the late eighties. And one of the most mysterious stars of all time.
Camryn Kiss: Yeah, I heard he was a legend. I mean, I never got to work with him, but I wish I could have.
Announcer: His claim to fame? The smallest penis in the history of pornography.
[Music Playing]
Announcer: The story of Don Dolmes has never been told, until now.
Announcer: We caught up with the reclusive Dolmes at his workshop in Lancaster, California.
Don Dolmes: Why do you think I was reluctant to talk to you guys, man? I was in porn! You know? I mean, come on! Not a lot of people, uh, you know, who do that in their past just shout that from the rafters. Like, hey, I'm Don Dolmes, I have the smallest co%k in porn.
Ryan French: To you, he'll always be Don Dolmes. But, to me, I'll always remember him as little Jeffysaurus. He was charismatic, funny, like, a good leader. I mean, those are the ways I remember, you know, Don, I mean, he was...
Don Dolmes: I think of myself as a sexual philosopher. You know? I think of myself as a, an erotic explorer. You know? I'm sort of the, I'm the Cortez of pu*sy.
Captain Colonel: Hi. I'm uh, Captain Colonel, I run, uh, Straight Up Fu*k Pictures. Uh, I been running it for a long time, twenty-five years. I met Don Dolmes back in nineteen eighty-three, and, uh, he was our water guy. Sometimes instead of tipping him, I would let him look at one of our movies. So, uh, we just finished this 'not with my daughter, you don't' movie, and I said come on over and take a look, kid, it's pretty fun. But, I keep looking and I'm like, you seem like you're pretty hot and heavy, and he's like oh, I'm as hot, as hard as a steel rod right now, and it just looked like someone had put like, some throwing dice in his pants or something. It was just a slight little ridge there. This was the moment when I knew, Colonel Captain, somethin's gonna happen special, here. We started shooting movies and that was it. This sh*t took off like a rocket ship.
Announcer: Written in just forty-five minutes, The Little Co%k That Could told the story of a water delivery man with a really small penis.
Don Dolmes: I gotta be honest, man. I thought it was just another gig. You know? I thought it was just another random thing to do. I didn't know that it would take off and I would become this.
[Music Playing]
Dan Healy: This is where it all happens. This is my shrine to Don. Uh, uh, all these video tapes, uh, uh, this is, uh, Don Dolmes bootlegs, this is a lot of outtakes, uh, this is some conceptual stuff that he did, uh, a western, but, uh, and, uh, and, uh, here's a, uh, uh, this is my, this is my favorite thing right here. I don't know if you need me to, it says, to Dan, again. [Laughs] It's a little joke between he and I because I, I'd write him pretty often trying to get a picture, and he sent me several, but I just wanted to get as many as I could. I need to get a, what do you call that?
Announcer: Between the summer of nineteen eighty-three, and the fall of nineteen eighty-six, Dolmes made over two thousand movies.
Don Dolmes: [Door Slams] Pony Express, special delivery. [Door Slams] Somebody order a small pepperoni? [Door Slams] Cable guy. [Door Slams] The doctor is in. [Door Slams] Pu*sy fu**er.
John Pappageogidis: Before I met Don Dolmes, my life, the life of John Pappageogidis was sh*t. Okay? To put it simply. I worked at an old age home in like a, in like a hospice care unit. I would record the life stories of people who were soon to die. You know?
Brad Jarvis: Don Dolmes saw a, a market, that, uh, had not been tapped. Uh, and, uh, and he, he just struck while the iron was hot. We owe our, uh, our lives, we owe our house to Don.
Don Dolmes: I'm always fu**in' fightin'. Right? Cause I'm a fighter. I'm a fighter, I am an underdog. I am scraping tooth and fu**in' nail. I will fu**in' destroy! I will fu**in' HUH!
Dan Healy: My appreciation of, of, of Mister Dolmes started, uh, with the first film that, uh, I saw, uh, Teeny Tiny Victory In The Hole. Uh, he, he speaks for the common man. Uh, those who might not be as well endowed as some of the other, uh, stars out there. Um, I think of him as a, uh, sensible car. I can identify with him.
Captain Colonel: This guy's co%k was small. You know how you look at a orca whale, and you're like 'oh, the eye is where the white spot is', and then you go up and you're like 'oh, it's not an eye, it's actually over here.' That's what his co%k was like.
Dan Healy: Uh, this, this is from Kindergarten Co%k. Um, I'm his partner. Uh, Don you've gotta get in there and fu*k that pu*sy 'til it's unconscious. You telling me how to run my bureau? Oh, I couldn't. You're the best.
Announcer: In just three short years, Dolmes had gone from a nobody water delivery man to an international star.
Ryan French: When Don got famous, you know, we kinda fell out of touch. I guess when you get famous, you know, you hang out with all your celebrity friends in your limos and stuff. You don't wanna hang out with your friends, you've known, your whole life I guess.
Don Dolmes: And I understand people like, uh, you know, the president of Haiti and people like Britney Spears who are important figures and that there's so much riding on that. You know, I, I became, I became something that wasn't me. I mean, I became something that, that, that, this symbol for people.
Captain Colonel: I mean everyone was around. Everyone who wanted to be near the heat that was Don Dolmes. When I fu**in' walk into a room there'd be Venus Generalitis would be next to him. I looked over to my right and the guy was inside R2D2's over there smoking a joint. I mean, this was celebrity heaven going on.
Don Dolmes: I took kickboxing with David Lee Roth, he was a buddy of mine. I went hot air ballooning with Mick Jagger. I, um, I hung out with Andy Warhol. I mean, me. You know? What the fu*k am I doing with Andy Warhol? [Laughs]
Dan Healy: He single-handedly changed the landscape for human sexuality. I mean, I think he's the Rosa Parks of fetish sex.
Announcer: In nineteen eighty-six, at the height of his fame, Dolmes founded The Freak Farm. Establishing himself as one of the major players in the fetish sex industry.
Tina Tiny Vaginy: Oh, I'm pretty much known as, um, having the smallest vagina in porn. And, um, I mean I was in the business way long before Don was, but purely in a gimmick-y way. You know? Like directors would mostly have me sucking off a midget, or like, diddling myself with a Q-Tip. And, you know, Don really legitimized me.
Don Dolmes: I love working with Tina. She's the best, she's the best. And, you know, her and I getting together is a no-brainer. You got the smallest pu*sy in porn, you got the smallest dick in porn. And, uh, it's just, you know working with her is, it's not work. She's a great person, she's got a beautiful old soul, just a gorgeous pu*sy, and, uh, it's nice to be fu**ing somebody and they know that you're fu**ing them.
Tuna Can Co%k: Freak Farm was amazing. You know, Don put together, uh, a, a, a, group of, of, like, the most talented, uh, uh, most, uh, bizarre people. You know? Don had a real eye for that stuff. He could, he could spot a freak. If we went out to a restaurant, Don would be like [Snaps Fingers] boom!
Don Dolmes: You know, it's kinda like, you know, a calling. You know what I mean? It's kind of like, like I can tell that you have, you know, your pubic hair is a different color just because of the way you carry yourself. I can see that the, the sound woman there, you know, she might have two butt holes. I can't tell. There's something going on in the back, you know?
Brynne Jarvis: I was never comfortable having sex with strangers. But, having sex with a family member? I mean, my parents had sex with each other. That's my mom and my dad. You know? They're family to me. And so, for us to be family and do it too, well it just made sense. I mean.
Tuna Can Co%k: My penis? Uh, well, it's, uh, about two and a quarter inch in length, but then three and three quarters inch in diameter. So, it's wider than it is long.
Brad Jarvis: The whole Freak Farm was kind of a, a family. Um, it was, it was just a place where people could come and not be judged. You know? And it's hard when you're a brother and sister porn team. I'm old fashioned. [Baby Crying] I don't want to cum in the face of just any old stranger.
Don Dolmes: The Freak Farm also, um, was like giving a, uh, you know, a drug addict a ticket to Amsterdam.
Tuna Can Co%k: I quit my job, I quit school, and I quit my family. And do you know why? Because when Don Dolmes started the Freak Farm, he gave me a place to go that offered me a chance at greatness.
[Girl and Guy Moaning]
Don Dolmes: You feel that co%k in your sweet little a*s?
Porn Star: No, not at all!
Don Dolmes: I'm ashamed of some of it, sure. You know? I did some things, I said some things. I, uh, I put some things in places that I never should have. Never should have.
Jim: Working with Don can be very difficult. Um, not being, you know, sharing, not sharing his genius I can't really judge his actions. I mean, you know, the product speaks for itself to a certain extent, so.
Cinnamon: Come in.
[Door Slams]
Ted Shells: You have to sign for this package.
Don Dolmes: No! You fu**ing idiot! What is wrong with this?! Do you know what this is called? It's called a fu**ing script you a*shole! Why don't you fu**ing learn how to use it?! I am sick of this sh*t! I am sick of this fu**ing sh*t! [Yelling] God damn it! Do you have any fu**ing idea how hard I work?! Do you have any idea?!
Ted Shells: You're a dick. Fu*k you!
Don Dolmes: Fu*k this sh*t. I don't deserve this sh*t. Don't touch me! Don't you touch me! I'll karate you! I'll fu**ing karate you! You fu**ing as*hole, don't you fu**ing do that to me!
[Door Slams]
Ted Shells: Thanks. Maybe we should get that kid out of here.
Cinnamon: He's fine. He's fine.
Don Dolmes: You don't fu**ing do that to me, you a*shole! [Door Slams] You don't fu**in' do that to me!
Don Dolmes: You look fu**in' great.
Ted Shells: I'm ready to fu*k, dog.
Captain Colonel: The most predictable part of any kind of star is the fall. I mean, first off you just stop thinking. He forgot what got him there.
Ryan French: They took everything from Don. I mean, his house, his giraffe, I mean, I'll never forget them just leading it out of the house, it was like, a, like it was a prisoner of some kind. You know? Even his bumper boats.
Brad Jarvis: When the, uh, when the thing with Ted happened, I mean, just, he was blindsided by it. Cause, I mean, when you're Don Dolmes, and you're, you're, you know, you're working with this acorn cap, you really think you have the market cornered. And, and, and then for someone to come off with like, this, I don't know, like a squirrel's toenail, it was absurdly small.
Ted Shells: Don Dolmes is a liar. Okay? He claimed to have the smallest co%k in porno, which as we all know, turned out to be a falsehood.
Paparazzi: Don! What's up with Ted Shells?
Don Dolmes: Pfft. What, what do you mean? Nothin'. I never think about Ted Shells. Why should I? Guy's a loser. He's jealous, he's fu**in' petty, he's tired of living in the gigantic shadow of my tiny co%k and he just can't handle it.
Ted Shells: The size of my dick is registered. That's on a registry with printed numbers. So, fu*k you!
Don Dolmes: Fu*k that. Fu*k that. Let's go get some pu*sy.
Ted Shells: I challenged that guy to a dick measuring contest numerous times, and he did not return my calls. So, I did what I had to do. I called him out. The Governor Awards, eighty-nine.
Awards Announcer: Nineteen eighty-nine male entertainer of the year goes to Don Dolmes! Woo!
Don Dolmes: Now we can party, right?!
Ted Shells: Who's got the smallest co%k in this room? Huh? Who!?
Don Dolmes: Why don't you sit down?!
Don Dolmes: I will karate chop the fu*k out of you! Ahh! You mother fu**er!
[Camera Sound]
Ted Shells: Why are you doing this movie about him, anyway? Dude, I've been doin' a lot of stuff right now. About, uh, how much film do you have in that thing? Do you wanna shoot some stuff? I got a lot goin' on right now.
Don Dolmes: He shot me down and shook my confidence. I, uh, I buried myself in a bottle. I was, uh, doing drugs, and at the end of a, uh, I don't know, like a four or five day drug bender, I, uh, apparently I had a party. And, uh, you know, when you're, when you wake up in a puddle of your own sh*t, and a stack of bills, and a bunch of angry voice mails, you start to think. You know? What happened to me? Why? Who's wallet is this?
Captain Colonel: Suddenly, as opposed to trusting himself and loving himself, and doing what he did best, which was fu**in' having sex with anonymous drug addict ladies, he went down this whole dark path.
Brad Jarvis: When Don died, we, uh, we were just shipwrecked. We were ship-, we just didn't know where to, we didn't go to the funeral because we couldn't get a sitter.
Don Dolmes: I, uh, I walked away. I had too much. I decided I wanted out, so I got out. I, uh, I faked my own death which, uh, wasn't actually as hard as you might think. Um, you know, I, I put two and two together, you know, I, Captain Colonel was my best friend. He's a, uh, horrible gossip. He is a, uh, alcoholic superstitious, uh, manic-depressive, who believes in ghosts. And I put all these things together, so what I did, after I was, you know, off the radar for a couple of days, I showed up to his house in the middle of the night, and I was pale and sweaty like I usually am, and I told him that I was dead, and I was, uh, a ghost. And, uh, I told him that I got killed by a lawnmower, and he took it from there. You know? His imagination ran with it.
Captain Colonel: Don died. Don died like all of us die. He didn't die like a superstar, he died like a human being. He was walking across the street eating a sandwich and a bus hit him. It was that simple. Shattered his spine, he sh*t his pants, insisted he could get up and walk. It was like watching a shot deer not knowing that it's shot. Actually went into Subway, ordered a whole hoagie, ate it, made several phone calls, bought a copy of Baseball Digest, looked up some stats, and just like that, [Snaps Fingers] four months later, he realized he had been hit, and was gone, in the blink of an eye a year and a half later, he was gone.
Don Dolmes: I guess that's why it worked. I mean, if anybody even sort of wanted to find me, they could.
Ted Shells: What isn't Ted Shells doing today? Uh, I'm still on top, man. Still making movies, and I'm, uh, I'm just still getting it done.
John Pappageogidis: My life is a lot different now, but better. You know? Like better, and like a lot. I mean like, I'm an entrepreneur. You know? Like, I own my own company. Tuna Candles. You know, it's a, it's a candle that is the exact, uh, representation physically of my co%k. And I sell those on the interweb, and that's pretty great for that, like, I've got some orders.
Ted Shells: I'm touring. Now. I'm doing, I'm on a fu*k tour of Europe. Uh, and then I head to Bangkok, Oriental City, and, um, I'll fu*k a lot of people there, take some pictures, do the thing, sign some autographs, kiss some babies, you know, that whole thing.
Don Dolmes: I've got a good, it's a good life. It's a good life. I'm not gonna, you know, it's not as exciting as my life was before. Um, but that's not such a bad thing. [Laughs] Um, you know, boring is good sometimes. Yep. Boring is good sometimes.
Don Dolmes: Just, a lighter shade of paint up here.
Woman: Just right there on the top?
Don Dolmes: Well, because historically, these houses were often uh, painted and built by the Welsh.
Woman: Uh-huh.
Don Dolmes: Welsh immigrants. And they were scared of heights, so they would have, they would have Germans, or Dutch.
Captain Colonel: I'm not the brightest guy in the world. I made a lot of money, but I'm not the brighest guy in the world. I got a seventy-eight IQ and I'll tell you that the second I meet you. Uh, I've got scabies. I've got chronic scabies. Um, my heart rate is permanently around the range of one seventy-five, one ninety. Uh, I've, have I, have I, am I a convicted sex offender? Yes. I am, and I'll tell you about it. I've done weird stuff around people. I've shown my co%k to nuns, uh, I'm, I've bankrupted five times, declared bankruptcy. Uh, fu*k it, the limited jurisdictions run out, I took a pot shot at Gerald Ford back in the seventies. I said fu*k it. I was smoking a lot of coke, I'm gonna shoot that fu**er. He kept sneaking into my bedroom at night and telling me to cut off my co%k. I gotta end it.
Dan Healy: No! Honey, I'm doing a thing right now. Yeah, I'm with my trees.
John Pappageogidis: God's honest truth? Candle business? A lot more cutthroat than porn.
Don Dolmes: [Creaking noises] Hey. How come I've never fu**ed a chick between the toes?

Louis Massignon: The Crucible of Compassion
University of Notre Dame Press, 1996 - Biography & Autobiography - 283 pages
Louis Massignon was a pivotal figure in awakening Western interest in Islamic studies, and although his work is well-known to students of Islam or French history, he is relatively unknown in the English-speaking world. Now in this fascinating biography Mary Louise Gude introduces a new audience to the eminent French Orientalist who dominatesd the field of Islamic studies for over 60 years. This account covers many aspects of Massignon's rich and complex life, beginning with his birth in 1883 in Paris until his death in 1962, and reveals how Massignon's extraordinary life unfolded during a time when relations between Islam and the West changed radically. Gude discusses how Massignon first discovered the Muslim world in the nineteenth century - the era of European colonial imperialism - and lived to witness the major events that reshaped Islam in the first half of the twentieth century, including the creation of the Arab states after World War I, the creation of Israel and the subsequent Arab-Israeli War of 1948, and the independence of Algeria in 1962. Drawn from Massignon's own writings as well as other primary and secondary sources, this unique biography also includes theological discussions of Massignon's intellectual development and writings. Gude reveals Massignon to be a believer who rediscovered Christianity through Islam; a mystic involved in the political realities of his day; and an Islamophile who remained quintessentially French. What emerges overall is the story of a passionate, but ultimately elusive, man whose professional and personal commitments were inseparable. Today Massignon's work continues to engage scholars and students of Islam and interfaith relations, and, as abridge-builder between Christianity and Islam, his far-reaching influence is unequaled.

Mike Toreno is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (set in 1992). Toreno is an undercover government agent from a "government agency", most likely the CIA, who disguises himself as a drug dealer and one of the co-leaders of the Loco Syndicate. He is voiced by James Woods, who bears some resemblance to the character, who has featured in films such as Once Upon a Time in America.
Character history
|Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details are in the text which follows.
The Loco Syndicate
Mike Toreno joined an unknown government agency sometime before 1992 and was later given the task of 'battling threats in Latin America' and moved to San Fierro in San Andreas. After arriving in San Fierro he met and became business partners with Jizzy B., the owner of The Pleasure Domes Club, and San Fierro Rifa leader T-Bone Mendez, who together formed the Loco Syndicate. The three took control of an abandoned factory in Doherty and the building was converted into a drug manufacturing plant. Toreno later made connections with Big Smoke, a high ranking member of the Grove Street Families who was looking to make himself powerful in Los Santos, and made deals to sell drugs to him.
Toreno, Jizzy, and Mendez later meet Ryder, Smoke's right hand man, at a fast-food restaurant in Angel Pine to further discuss the deal. Carl Johnson, former co-leader of the Grove Street Families, and Varrios Los Aztecas leader Cesar Vialpando, having heard of the deal, spied on the meeting and photographed those involved, later returning to Carl's garage to seek the help of Wu Zi Mu and Guppy in identifying those involved, with the exception of Ryder. The two, however, are unable to shed any light on Toreno.
Carl, looking for a way into the organisation to stem the flow of drugs to Los Santos, begins to work for Jizzy. Carl and Mendez later set out to find Toreno after he was accidentally kidnapped by the Da Nang Boys, who had stolen a van full of drugs, which Toreno happened to be in. Carl and Mendez eventually track him down to Easter Bay Airport and free him, although Toreno remains suspicious and almost kills Carl, being convinced by Mendez to spare him. The three then destroy the van, full with drugs, to destroy evidence before the police arrive.
Toreno and Mendez, still suspicious of him, have him protect a van full of drugs from the Da Nang Boys and their road blocks on its way to their factory. Following the death of Jizzy, Toreno decides to meet with Mendez and Ryder at Pier 69 but, arriving by helicopter, sees the dead bodies of San Fierro Rifa and Triad gangsters and escapes. Carl and Vialpando, watching from a distant rooftop, then attack the pier and kill Mendez, before Carl gives chase to and kills Ryder. Toreno, knowing of his partners' deaths, goes to the San Fierro Police Department headquarters but uses a decoy helicopter to allow him to escape unnoticed, with Carl taking the bait and destroying the helicopter.
Carl then destroys the factory used by the gang and, thinking that the syndicate leaders had been killed, settled back into life in San Fierro. Carl, however, receives a phone call from Toreno, with a distorted voice, telling him to go a ranch in Tierra Robada. Carl, upon arriving, is told he must complete a race in a monster truck across Tierra Robada. Toreno's man on the ground says that he will receive a phone call and upon returning to the ranch, is surprised to meet Toreno, who he believes will kill him.
Life in Tierra Robada and Bone County
Toreno, however, has plans to use Carl to do his bidding and uses his connections to his advantage, telling Carl he could get his brother Sweet free from prison. Toreno also tells Carl of his true identity, that of a government agent, and tells him that he is not a drug dealer but an agent 'battling threats in Latin America, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY' and that the operation has led to them making numerous allies that have helped 'immeasurably'. Toreno, for his first task, tells Carl to get Vialpando and to steal a truck from a rival agency while it is being transported, saying they need the cargo, telling Carl not to tell Vialpando the reason for the theft.
The next time the two meet Toreno proves his statements of being an undercover agent by relaying the story of Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski, of the C.R.A.S.H. unit of the Los Santos Police Department, murdering fellow officer Ralph Pendelbury to hide their crimes from Internal Affairs, a case that had not been solved. Toreno also explains that he tries to pit bad guys against bad guys but that sometimes good people get hurt or killed, stating that to him Sweet is 'collateral', before sending Carl to Las Brujas, a ghost town. There, speaking through a speaker, Toreno tells him to go to the top of Arco del Oeste and light a flare, to give a signal to a plane carrying precious cargo. The plane, however, is ambushed by agency helicopters although Carl, having picked up a rocket launcher, destroys the them. The plane with the cargo flies to a small inlet near the abandoned Verdant Meadows air strip, with Carl following and collecting the package, delivering it back to Las Brujas.
Toreno meets Carl at his ranch shortly afterwards and tells him that he had used Sweet to get Carl to do his work, saying he will not be released yet, although he states that he is being protected as he needs him alive just as much as Carl. Toreno then tells him that his actions are getting him noticed by other government agencies and that he needs him to purchase the Verdant Meadows airstrip and then learn how to fly.
After learning how to fly, Carl is visited at the airstrip by Toreno, who appears from a hangar and tells Carl that he could have killed him in nine different ways, warning him to be more careful in future. He then explains that he is being watched by 'One DEA. One FBI. A Russian. A Cuban double agent and my paymasters', pointing to the locations of three of them and saying the other two are by satellites. He also asks him to fly to Angel Pine and deliver some supplies to his men, who will dead by nightfall without them, but tells him to fly the plane close to the ground to avoid appearing on the agencies radar, which Carl manages to do and returns to the airstrip.
Carl returns to the airstrip a short time later and witnesses a large plane landing, thinking that they are Toreno's men. Toreno, however, appears and tells him that they from a rival agency who are planning to give land mines and money to various 'militaristic dictators' in an attempt to help the overseas situation and in return for arms contracts, with Toreno claiming that the deals could start chaos in the Middle East and Latin America. Toreno admits that he is doing the same thing, but cherry picking the dictators so they can control them. Toreno then explains that his boss has given Carl permission to sneak on board as the plane is taking off, kill those inside and blow up the plane, a mission that Carl completes before parachuting to safety.
Final meetings with Carl Johnson
Toreno then disappears from Carl's life and Carl continues his life of crime with the Triads in Las Venturas, pulling of a casino heist, and meeting up with Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski, with Carl killing Pulaski. Carl, after being asked by rapper Madd Dogg re-takes his mansion and while there, gets a message from Toreno asking him to go outside.
The two drive to a small beach in Red County where Toreno explains that he can arrange for Sweet to be released from prison, if Carl pulls off one last mission. Toreno then explains that he wants him to 'steal a military jet off an amphibious assault ship and use it to destroy a flotilla of spy ships, nothing big'. Carl agrees to do it, for his brother, but tells Toreno that he is not confident, although he once again proves his value by pulling the mission off. After destroying the spy ships in Sherman Dam, Carl asks what he wants to do with the military jet, with Toreno saying that it is Carl's problem as he stole it and that he knows nothing of what had just happened.
Toreno appears in Carl's life one final time at Madd Dogg's mansion. Carl, having been abandoned with a stolen military jet, pulls a gun and points it towards Toreno, who talks Carl out of shooting him and asks him to do one more thing, to answer his phone, which then begins to ring. Carl then listens to his brother explaining that he has just been released and is waiting in Pershing Square. Carl, upon realizing that Toreno had got his brother freed, asks him what he is to do, with Toreno telling him to pick up his brother.
Philosophically, Mike Toreno is a highly cynical American imperialist who primarily uses Carl as a courier, saboteur and assassin. Despite knowing of the crimes of Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski, as well as their hold over Carl (who they could implicate in the murder of Ralph Pendelbury), he does nothing to stop them, later explaining that while he tries to pit bad guys against bad guys sometimes good guys are hurt or die. Toreno, similar to Tenpenny, gravitates towards committing heinous crimes in the name of a greater good and equates the maintenance of the American socio-economic system with the continued survival of the free world.
- In missions, the number plate on Toreno's Washington says "OMEGA", although the Washington parked at his ranch always has a random plate number.
- Mike Toreno is likely a CIA agent, although this is not confirmed, as the CIA have been connected to cocaine trafficking between Latin American paramilitaries and gangs in Los Angeles, the city Los Santos is based on.
- The texture ID for Toreno's in-game model is misspelled as 'torino'. This is either how his name was originally spelt, or a typo.

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
I had a fight with my boyfriend this past weekend. Which isn't exactly headline news for most people, but we hardly ever fight. And when we do, it's usually over something so trivial it's embarrassing to think about once we've both calmed down. Is Lady Gaga a truly unique artist or is she completely overrated? Is "American Idol" a reliable source of finding legitimate talent?
Those types of debates are not about pop stars or televised talent competitions. What is usually at stake is our egos. We both hate to be proven wrong so much that it borders on pathology. But this latest argument was different.
We were in my car, talking about a little bit of everything when the topic turned to race. I'm black and he's white, so the subject comes up frequently. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the time it involves horrendously offensive jokes and hysterical laughter. This was the .01% when it did not.
The taboo topic du jour was whether or not something had to be intentionally malicious for it to be considered racist. I argued that of course it did not. I was operating off of a complex conceptualization that embodied both individual discrimination and systematic and institutional injustice. It was the "racism equals prejudice plus power" equation that is the corner stone of most sociological, psychological and academic anti-racist arenas. By that definition, only white people possess the ability to be racist because they are the ones that hold the power.
My boyfriend was having none of that. He was steadfast in his belief that for something to be racist, it has to have harmful intentions. And what did he use to prove the accuracy of "his" definition? The dictionary. Merriam Webster's mobile website version to be exact.
I was livid. Actually, no, I wasn't livid just yet. More like baffled. I'd been with this man for nearly two-and-a-half years. How was I just now discovering that he's one of those white people? The kind that has no clue about racism yet has the audacity to try to debate about it. The man grew up in a nearly all-black neighborhood, has mostly black friends and possesses a full deck of honorary black cards. We even joke about how in some aspects, his degree of "blackness" is higher than mine. All that and he doesn't even know what racism is? How the hell did that even happen?
In my opinion, "my life" was enough to articulate why I was right and he was dead wrong. But when I told him that, he brilliantly countered with, "No, that's not what racism is. It says it right here on my smartphone. See?"
The fact that he thought an 11-word definition had more credibility than I did was beyond insulting. It was hurtful and it displayed a level of arrogance and prickdom I didn't think him capable of. Bottom line, neither he nor Merriam Webster are the authority on racism and the concept is far more complicated than either of them can capture in only a handful of words.
My definition came from countless collegiate classes on the matter, tons of books and papers, an advanced degree and working and volunteering for nonprofits whose mission is to offset the systematic implications of racism through tireless service. Oh, and from also being black for the past 28 years.
I'm the black one. We make the rules. Duh.
But later, during our post-argument argument, I realized that Merriam Webster isn't the only thing that shaped his interpretation of what racism means. His definition of the word has been molded by spending a childhood getting his ass kicked for being the white boy in the mostly black neighborhood. My boyfriend begins to list his own terrible racially based experiences. These are things that I knew about, but had completely neglected to consider in the midst of my own anger. I was so busy being offended that I forgot he had reason to be as well.
So black people can't be racist? How do I tell that to his scared 10-year-old self? The little boy who had to dodge and hide just to make it safely home from school? Ironically, he's the one in our relationship who has endured hateful and violent encounters because of the color of his skin, not me. In his experience, racism has been nothing but malicious. He has little reason to believe otherwise.
I still know, not just believe, that racism can rear its ugly head without someone intending to do concrete harm, That's how it has manifested in my life. But, I was wrong to think that I was the ultimate authority on the subject simply because I'm black. Actually, that shit's kind of racist.

We're cutting energy (and growing trees)
We have been working to make our own business as sustainable as possible. Here are a few of the ways we're achieving that goal.
- We purchase green electricity
- We send no food waste to landfill. All surplus food that is no longer edible (and so can't be donated to charity) is used to make energy through a process called 'anaerobic digestion'. This has also helped us to achieve our target of sending zero food waste to landfill
- We use low carbon technology in our shops
- We've planted trees with the Woodland Trust to absorb the carbon from our deliveries
You tell us you want to be as sustainable as possible at home too - so we want to help make that as easy as we can.
We also have car charging points at some of our branches, while green energy company, Ecotricity, have installed further charge points at Waitrose Welcome Break motorway service shops.
Find out more about Ecotricity.
At Waitrose we believe in making the right choices for the environment so we support LEAF and WildCare.
The LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) marque is a guarantee to consumers that the producer operates their business and production techniques in an environmentally responsible way.
Acting as a bridge between conventional and organic farming, the LEAF initiative encourages farmers to do more to protect and enhance the countryside by adhering to a series of integrated farm management principles including:
- efficient soil management and appropriate cultivation techniques
- the use of crop rotation
- careful choice of seed varieties
- a commitment to animal welfare and wildlife habitats
- maintenance of the landscape and rural communities
LEAF is an independent charity dedicated to raising the integrity of British food and it advises farmers and growers on how they can meet the strict standards enabling them to display the LEAF marque on their products. Several farms that supply Waitrose already demonstrate the LEAF principles and we want to encourage all Britain's farmers to produce food in the most responsible way, thereby offering our customers the ability to make an informed choice about the food they buy.
If you value wholesome, affordable food that is produced to environmentally and socially responsible standards then look out for the LEAF marque on Waitrose fruit and vegetables.

Leckford Estate - the Waitrose Farm - is a LEAF certifed farm. Find out more about Leckford Estate.
Waitrose essential Milk is helping Britain's wildlife.
WildCare is an environmental scheme designed to improve the wildlife habitat on farms, increase biodiversity and species numbers. Its principal focus is on the creation of 'wildlife corridors' through effective environmental management of hedgerows, ditches, water courses and field margins.
This will provide the necessary habitats for many species of plants, insects, birds and mammals.
The WildCare scheme is based on a set of environmental standards that have been compiled in conjunction with The Wildlife Trust. The scheme links with DEFRA on agricultural policy in consideration of local, county and national Biodiversity Action Plans.
- The WildCare initiative ensures all Waitrose essential milk producers ultimately dedicate a minimum of 10% of their farms to wildlife habitats, with the aim of improving biodiversity and species numbers on their land. However, farms assessed to date are achieving in excess of 15% over the national average.
- Waitrose essential milk producers work with specialist wildlife advisers to develop Farm Wildlife Action Plans, with the aim of protecting and enhancing the wildlife on their farms. Each farm is monitored regularly to record changes in species numbers and biodiversity.
- The WildCare scheme has been developed especially and exclusively for the Waitrose Farm Group. It is independent, measurable and fully endorsed by a well-respected and recognised body, The Wildlife Trust.
The farmers will receive a copy of their individual action plan, incorporating photographs from their farm, advice and support on how to develop the wildlife habitats in the future. The farms will be monitored closely for progress on the implementation of the action plan and record changes in biodiversity, species numbers and will publish results on the website.
The WildCare advisers will also work closely with The Wildlife Trust to ensure that there is a full understanding of the scheme's standards. The Wildlife Trust monitors the WildCare scheme.
WildCare essential milk is available in branch. Find out more about our milk.

Doing something sweet
What to do over summer vacation? That's a popular question asked by adults and kids alike. Susan Davis had an unconventional idea last week: seven days of kindness.
She and her twin boys, Michael and Raymond, age 9, began thinking of seven ways to spread good deeds throughout their community over the course of the week. A week ago Sunday, they made a donation to the East Greenwich Animal Protection League; Monday they brought blueberry muffins to the fire station; Tuesday they sold lemonade to benefit the Make A Wish Foundation and Wednesday they brought ice water to the cyclists and walkers at Rocky Point Park. On Thursday, Davis said one of the boys got sick, so their good deeds will be postponed. They still plan to pick up trash, and visit and bring flowers to a nursing home. Davis said she and her boys have never done anything like this before, but she "just thought of giving back to the community."
"I'm a firm believer everyone should be thanked," she said. On Tuesday, from 1 to 3 p.m., Michael (right) and Raymond set up a cooler on Church Ave., selling homemade lemonade to passersby for 50 cents a glass. The twins, armed with infectious smiles, raised $25 for the Make A Wish Foundation, and said giving back to the community felt both "good" and "great."

Two hundred million years ago the Earth's continents were joined together to form one gigantic super-continent, called Pangea. Plate tectonic forces broke Pangea apart and caused the continents to drift. We study the evidence for plate tectonics and the large-scale dynamics of the Earth's interior that is responsible for mountain building, earthquakes faulting, volcanic eruptions, changes in Earth's magnetic field and much more.
The course involves three hours of weekly meeting time and selected reading material. No background in Earth science is necessary. Evaluation is based on class participation, three exams, a series of student presentations on selected topics and written essays on the same subject.

SNOHOMISH, Wash. - For the first time, we're hearing from the Snohomish County man who was stabbed in what appears to be a prank gone wrong.
On Monday, a judge set bail for the two 14-year-olds who were arrested in the recent stabbing.
"He got me good in the knee joint here and up under my armpit there," said Jeff Adams, standing in his Snohomish front yard.
The Boeing employee said he is home recovering for a week from his two stab wounds.
Police responded to the incident Thursday night in front of Adams Snohomish home.
Officers described it beginning as a game of ding dong ditch where someone knocks on the door and runs.
But, Adams said it was no prank.
"They said they were here for my guns in that sense I feel like we were targeted," he said.
Adams, 47, said the two teens in front of his house are known to his son.
He insisted his son wants nothing to do with them and he thinks that's part of why they showed up outside his home.
He said he heard a knock on his door Thursday night, answered, but no one was there.
He went into another room and came back to the door because he had 'a bad feeling'.
He looked out the peep hole and saw a teen approaching.
Adams said he opened the door and asked what the teen wanted, then proceeded to walk him off the porch.
"He's backing up and I'm making sure he's backing up," said Adams, standing near the spot on the sidewalk and curb where he said he was stabbed in front of his home. "It wouldn't have happened if he didn't raise his knife up at me."
He said once he saw the knife he went into self-defense mode.
"That's when I grabbed the bike off the ground threw it on top of him and started hitting him, it was my self-defense," said Adams.
But in court Monday, the teen's attorney questioned whether there was enough probable cause for his arrest, telling the judge it appeared to him the teen was acting in self-defense based on the police report.
In court paperwork, the other 14-year-old said he didn't witness the stabbing, he told deputies he was initially across the street when the other teen approached the house.
He said during the incident he grabbed another bike and hit Adams with it so his friend could get away.
They took off, but police arrested them a short time later.
A judge found probable cause for their arrests and set bail for both teens at $250.
"They are the ones who came to my door and came to me and approached me and said what they said," said Adams.
In court documents - a detective said he was told the victim's son and another teen had some sort of altercation recently, but there were no other details.
The Snohomish County Prosecutor's office has until 4:30 p.m. Tuesday to file charges.

Cunningham named to state health plan board
Dr. Paul Cunningham
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Dec. 22, 2011) — Dr. Paul Cunningham, dean of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, has been named to the board of trustees of the State Health Plan for Teachers and State Employees.
State Treasurer Janet Cowell nominated Cunningham to the board. The 10-member board is made up of plan members as well as other experts in medicine and health administration. The board will be responsible for decisions regarding vendor contracts and the design of employee health benefits, according to a news release from Cowell's office.
Cunningham is also senior associate vice chancellor for medical affairs. His term on the health plan board will last two years, and he may serve up to three consecutive terms.
The State Health Plan will become a division of the Department of State Treasurer effective Jan. 1. The plan provides health care coverage to more than 664,000 teachers, state employees, retirees, state university and community college personnel, and their dependants.
The plan currently reports to a legislative oversight committee within the General Assembly, which lacked the resources to provide day-to-day oversight of plan operations. During the past 20 years, numerous reports have suggested that a plan of this size and scope be moved to an executive agency, according to the department.
The transfer of the plan to the Department of State Treasurer will mean administration of health and retirement benefits will be under one roof, allowing for improved communication and coordination, according to the department.
In addition to Cunningham, board members are Virginia "Kim" Hargett, a physical education teacher at Marshville Elementary School in Union County, appointed by Gov. Beverly Perdue; Noah Huffstetler, managing partner at the Raleigh office of Nelson, Mullins, Riley & Scarborough specializing in health care law, administrative law, and business and appellate litigation, appointed by Sen. Phil Berger, president pro tempore of the N.C. Senate; Bill Medlin, an associate executive director of the Professional Educators of North Carolina, appointed by Rep. Thom Tillis, speaker of the N.C. House of Representatives; G. Genell Moore, vice president of Carolinas HealthCare System, appointed by Perdue; Warren Newton, vice dean for education and chief education officer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, appointed by Tillis; David Rubin, professor emeritus of the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC-Chapel Hill, appointed by Janet Cowell; and Michele Shaw, an officer and general instructor with the N.C. Department of Corrections and former chair of the State Employees Association of North Carolina's 22nd District, appointed by Berger.
Cowell and Andy Willis, director of state budget, will serve as ex-officio board members. Willis will not be a voting member and Cowell will vote only in cases of a tie.
