ImOut Duffel Bag
$155.00 – $185.00
All of the get up & go of the Frost River Flight Bag, in a classic round duffel. Waxed canvas utility with just the right amount of class. Comes in three sizes to match your gear and getaways.
Remember those crummy nylon gym duffel bags that were always around when you were a kid? Sure they were handy to lug stuff around, but did you ever feel good about carrying one?
We considered that round shape, looked at the size, then added some of the rugged simplicity of our Flight Bag with its straightforward "get up and go" approach and single compartment charm … and came up with our own classic round duffel… the ImOut Duffel Bag. Simple, true, classic, and made in America!
The reinforced, rolled leather handles of the ImOut Duffel Bag are sturdy and substantial. We include a wide web strap for shoulder carry. The design is handy like an old, round, nylon duffel, but allows more mature tastes to get up and say "I'm Out!" It's a new classic duffel from Frost River that will have you happy to get out.
Picking the Right Size
The three sizes of Imout Round Duffel give you options for giving yourself space, or keeping things trim and light:
The Small is a great gym bag, for a change of clothes, toiletries and a pair of shoes.
The Carryon is perfect for a weekend away, with a couple changes of clothes, toiletries in a Travel Kit, and a pair of shoes.
The Large is the way to go for if you want to carry a good amount more than with the Carryon, not hockey-bag-sized, but in the league of a large duffel bag.
|Size / Volume
Small: 19″x10″x10″ / 1492 c.i.(approx.), CarryOn: 21″x12″x12″ / 2375 c.i. (approx.), Large: 23″x14″x14″ / 3540c.i. (approx.)
Small: 2.3lbs, CarryOn: 2.9lbs, Large: 3.4lbs
Double canvas.
Rolled leather.
|Shoulder Strap
2″ cotton web, adjustable slide, snap hooks.
18oz. waxed canvas, premium leather, solid brass hardware.
We guarantee the hardware and workmanship on Frost River's waxed canvas and leather packs, bags, and accessories forever. If we built it, we know the seams will stay strong, the zippers will work and the rivets and hardware will hold securely, and we take pride in building reliable softgoods at our shop in Duluth, Minnesota. We realize that stuff happens in life and rugged wilderness travel is tough on bags, and that if you use your gear hard, it will wear out eventually. That's why it's important to us that everything we make is highly repairable, usually worth repairing, and that we'll be here to mend them with patches, straps, repairs, and fixes through a lifetime in the field — after all, the blemishes, scars, patches and stains in your pack each tell their own story, don't they?
What's covered?
We stand behind all our craftsmanship and hardware. We guarantee the seams on your Frost River bag will stay sewn together, the rivets will hold, the zippers will work, and the buckles will do their job for as long as you (or your grandkids) have your bag. The lustre on the hardware will fade and patina, and the seams will age, but they'll hold, and keep on working. If they don't, and your product fails due to flaws in craftsmanship or hardware, we will repair or replace it at our discretion to get your gear back in service. Please send any warranty or repair products to us in clean condition. You can read more about caring for you Frost River gear in our frequently asked questions section.
What's not covered?
Our warranty does not cover normal wear and tear on the canvas, leather, or straps. We use great materials, — the best we can find — they're tough and will hold up to all sorts of use and abuse. However, we cannot guarantee cotton and leather to last forever. We can, and do, make repairs to canvas bags at a reasonable rate, both Frost River, and sometimes other brands. If you'd like to get more information, or request a quote on a repair job, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the shop (it can help to send a photo or two).
The Fine Print…
All warranty and repair work requires postage to be paid to and from the shop. We reserve the right to replace a Frost River item if we feel it cannot logically be repaired, and refuse service if your pack or bag comes to us in an unclean condition. If a replacement is issued, the original will not be returned. Damage due to excessive wear and tear, damage caused by an animal, abuse, misuse, neglect, an act of God or nature, and damage due to modifications are not covered by our warranty. Please get a hold of us by using the contact us tab if you have any questions.
Do I need proof of purchase?
The short answer, is no, you do not need a proof of purchase. We build all Frost River reliable softgoods ourselves and we put our signature on each and every piece. If your bag has that little Frost River tag, (called a taffeta) it's covered by our warranty. We will gladly work with you to repair bags and gear sent without the taffeta, but they are not covered by our guarantee. If you have any questions, please get a hold of us by using the contact info here.
Why we guarantee Frost River's Reliable Softgoods
We take pride in keeping canvas bags out in the world, and will work with you to keep yours in working order. We offer a lifetime guarantee because we know how durable our products are; we built them, and because we did, we can take yours apart, fix it, and get it back to you again for more years of service.

Monograms & Personalization
Monograms! Made a lot like how we make our logos right here at Frost River, heat and pressure make a permanent and good lookin' customized impression on our premium leather.
How we make 'em:
We'll load your letters (all upper case) in a carrier which looks a lot like an old printing press. The whole works gets heated up, and when up to temp, is pressed with a pneumatic ram into a patch made from our premium leather, and voila! A custom branded patch emerges! It's a handmade, personalized match made in Duluth.
To Order:
Pick the bag you want, type your characters (up to 4) into the space provide to add a monogram and add the whole kit'n'caboodle to your cart. Monogram not an option on the product you've selected? Add that product to your cart, then head over to our Monogram page and add it separately.
Where do we sew 'em? Some bags will have several options for Monogram placement, others will be limited as to where we can place the patch. Ultimately it's up to us as to where the monogram will go. If you have any questions about placement etc. be sure to get in touch, as once we build your custom bag with a monogram, it is not returnable.
You can expect a new monogram order to ship out within ten business days of when you place your order.
The Fine Print:
Monogrammed bags are considered a custom item and therefore are not returnable. But why would you want to? The monograms turn out nicely, the font is professional, and adds a nice touch to any of our Reliable Softgoods. By using heat combined with pressure, it will look great for years and won't harm the integrity of the leather as simple hammering sometimes can.
Note: We reserve the right to refuse a monogram request at our discretion. If there are any issues, we will contact you via the email address or phone number you provide in your order.
- All monograms are stamped with an upper-case, serif font. See photos for examples.
- 4 character maximum
- Letters are approx 5/8" tall
- Leather patch is approx 1" x 2.5" Leather is full grain, oil-tanned and premium quality sourced from the S. B. Foot Tannery in Red Wing, Minnesota. It's the same stuff we use for our trims, bag bottoms, and lighter duty straps. It'll match well because it's the same stuff. We apologize, but at this time we do not offer embroidered monograms.
- Again, monogrammed gear is not returnable.

What others are saying
Looking to purchase the 690 or 693 but it's hard to distinguish the best size. Plan to use as weekend getaway bag with 2-3days clothes, toiletry bag and maybe a pair of shoes or sandals. I'm thinking the largeest one (690) is the best option but would appreciate your advice.

Kenon Aaron Everts ascended to heaven where God gave him his angel wings on Nov. 20, 2011, after a traumatic struggle from injuries he acquired in a car accident on Oct. 14, 2011.
Kenon was born Dec. 12, 1991, in Fort Sam Houston, Texas, to Helen Everts. He moved to the Gresham, Ore., area when he was 6 months old with his mother and brother. He attended various grade and middle schools. He graduated from North Star Christian Academy in 2011.
Upon graduation Kenon went to work as a cashier at 7-11 on Kane and Division for Steven and Judy Bertelson, where he met and befriended many customers and delivery drivers. There was never a stranger to Kenon; only friends.
Kenon loved to spend his time at Crown Point with friends, listening to music, wheeling with his cousins, camping at Big Cedars and on trips to the Oregon coast. He was rarely seen without his latest Dutch Bros drink or a Killer Burger in hand.
Kenon was survived by his mother, Helen Everts; Bill Ingram; brother Michael and Belynda Wagner and nephews Joseph and Michael Jr. Wagner and Jeremiah Anderson; grandparents Floyd Wagner, Nancy and Buzz Wells and Donald Everts; aunts and uncles: Wes Wagner and Sylvia Hatch, Viola Wagner, Wanda Wagner, Lavern and Jerry Bligh, Edith and Bob Burnett, Carla and Rick Curtis, Vicki and Tim Hirsch, Donald and Wendy Everts, Victor and Teya Everts; and cousins Floyd, Gerald (JJ) and Maximus Bligh, Brandon and Tyler Burnett, Amanda Curtis, Nathan and Noah Hirsch, Simone, Victor and Teya Everts, Naomi Wagner and Jeremiah and James Schneider, Patrick, Jami, Katie and Lindsey Jones and Andrew Jones.
Kenon also had several people he "adopted" into his family, brothers and sisters in his heart: Taylor Clements, Andrew Hall, Jordon and Aaron Mead, Tommy Gates, Adam Fivecoates, Chris Brandon, Amanda Conner, Niki Brower, Tiffany Bierer, Kayla Brower, Mary Cermack, Libi Hendrix and Lexx Setzke.
Kenon was preceded in death by his grandmother, Viola Wagner, and aunt Doris Ruffell.
A candlelight vigil in honor of his 20th birthday will be held Dec. 12 at Crown Point, Ore., from 6-8 p.m.
Kenon Everts may be gone but will live on in our hearts and memories forever. Rest in Peace, our friend and loved one. We're counting on you to keep the campfire in the sky burning bright so we can find our way to you when it's our time.

|A Systematic Approach to Performing a Comprehensive Transesophageal Echocardiogram. A Call to Order
Kothavale, Avinash A; Yeon, Susan B.; Manning, Warren J.
Note: Order does not necessarily reflect citation order of authors.
|Kothavale, Avinash A, Susan B Yeon, and Warren J Manning. 2009. A systematic approach to performing a comprehensive transesophageal echocardiogram. A call to order. BMC Cardiovascular Disorders 9: 18.
|Full Text & Related Files:
2694155.pdf (5.750Mb; PDF)
|Background: While the order for a clinical transthoracic examination is fairly standardized, there is considerable variability between laboratories and even among physicians in the same laboratory with regard to the order for transesophageal echocardiograms (TEE). A systematic approach is desirable for more efficient use of physician and patient time, avoidance of inadvertent omission of important views, and to facilitate study review. Methods: We propose a standardized approach to TEE data acquisition in which cardiac structures are systematically identified and characterized at sequential positions and imaging planes to facilitate organized, efficient and comprehensive assessment. Results: Our approach to TEE study begins in the mid-esophagus with the imaging plane at 0°. Based on the specific indication for the TEE, a cardiac structure (e.g., mitral valve, left atrial appendage, or interatrial septum) is chosen as the primary focal point for a comprehensive, multiplane analysis. This structure is assessed in 20° – 30° increments as the imaging plane is advanced from 0° to 165°. Using the aortic valve as a reference point, pertinent cardiac structures are then assessed as the imaging plane is reduced to 135°, to 90°, to 40 – 60° and then back to 0°. The probe is then advanced into the stomach to obtain transgastric images at 0°, 90°, and 120°. Finally, the thoracic aorta and pulmonary artery are assessed as the probe is withdrawn from the body. Using this method, an organized and comprehensive TEE can be performed in 10 – 15 minutes. Conclusion: A standardized and systematic TEE approach is described for efficient and comprehensive TEE study.

Remember Me
The IAMOT is committed to excellence in the field of Management of Technology worldwide through fitness in academic programs providing education in the MOT field. IAMOT has developed standards, established the MOT accreditation board, policies, and procedures, set forth in this manual as a means of assessing the ability of educational programs seeking MOT Accreditation to achieve the learning, performance objectives and desired outcome of MOT professionals. Realizing the advances in learning technologies, delivery modes, and the nature of the MOT field, the process is dynamic, and the interpretation of the standards is subject to change as environments, technology, circumstances and communities evolve.
Both self-assessment and peer evaluation provide the most effective assurance of accountability. Institutions that successfully complete the Accreditation review of their MOT degree programs are identified as "MOT Accredited" for this program. The term "MOT Accredited" implies that MOT-Accreditation Board (MOTAB) has studied the institution's MOT credentials and through representatives identified by MOTAB have reviewed the MOT accreditation criteria, reviewed the self-study report being provided by that institution, visited and assessed the institution and the program; have determined that this program meets or exceeds the standards which have been established and defined by the IAMOT as documented in this manual.
Accreditation has two fundamental purposes: to assure the quality of an institution or program, and to assist in the improvement of the institution or program. Accreditation, which applies to institutions or programs, is distinguished from certification and licensure, which apply to individuals.
Accreditation may be conducted at either the institutional or programmatic level. Bodies conducting institutional accreditation consider the characteristics of whole institution. For this reason, an institutional accrediting body gives attention not only to the educational offerings of the institutions it accredits, but also to other institutional characteristics such as student personnel services, financial conditions, and administrative strength.
Bodies conducting programmatic or specialized accreditation, such as the IAMOT, conduct accreditation of programs preparing students for a profession or occupation. Such bodies are often closely associated with professional associations in the field. A specialized accrediting body focuses its attention on a particular program within an institution of higher education, and provides a basic assurance of the scope and quality of professional or occupational preparation.

If you have a Roc 'n Soc throne and have some back problems, this could be a great investment. Most Roc 'n Soc thrones have pre-drilled holes for the bracket that is included with this backrest. It is very easy to install this and you can adjust this up/down and forward/back to get it where it is most comfortable. It is on the bigger side, which I'm sure some people like. I would prefer it a little smaller, but all-in-all, it is a well-made product.

Chaos and killing reigned for more than seven hours Sunday night and into Monday morning at a South Carolina prison where some of the state's worst criminals are kept.
Seven inmates were slashed, stabbed and beaten to death, and 17 more were wounded in a series of fights lasting until 3 a.m. Monday at Lee Correctional Institution, a maximum-security prison just outside rural Bishopville.
The fight, which spanned three dorms, was likely gang related, and spawned from a disagreement over gang territory and contraband, S.C. Department of Corrections Director Brian Stirling said.
Gov. Henry McMaster said the violence, while unfortunate, should be expected sometimes in prisons, where violent people are locked up for rehabilitation and to protect the public.
"It's not a surprise when we have violent events take place inside the prison — any prison in the country," McMaster said.
The night of violence began unfolding around 7:15 p.m. Sunday when inmate-on-inmate fighting broke out in the first dorm, officials said.
Corrections officers saw the fight break out in the first dorm, called for back-up and waited for response teams around the state to come to their aide, Stirling said.
About 44 personnel were at the prison when the fighting broke out, double the number of officers normally on shift. Four officers were staffing the dorm, which is home to 250 to 260 inmates, during the fight.
At about 8:30 p.m., fights broke out in two more dorms, which also held about 250 inmates and were staffed with four officers, Stirling said. At 9 p.m., other response teams across the state were activated and called to Lee Correctional. The State Law Enforcement Division responded about 20 minutes later.
As the clock approached 11:30 p.m., responders entered the first dorm to take it back from prisoners, Stirling said. An hour later, responders retook the second. The third dorm wasn't recaptured until 2 a.m.
The prison was secure just before 3 a.m. EMS personnel didn't clear the prison until about 5 a.m.
Videos reportedly taken by inmates inside the prison and shared to social media showed a grisly scene after the riot.
One video, shot from what looks like a catwalk on the upper level of a cell block, shows towels or clothing items on the floor and a long trail of what appears to be smeared blood leading to a larger puddle of blood near a wall. Another video shows a bloody man lying on his side against a wall, not moving.
The victims were serving sentences ranging from 10 years to life. They were identified as:
▪ Eddie Casey Jay Gaskins, 32, who was serving 10 years for domestic violence.
▪ Joshua Svwin Jenkins, 33, who was sentenced for burglary, voluntary manslaughter and attempted murder.
▪ Michael Milledge, 44, who was sentenced for assault and battery and multiple drug convictions.
▪ Cornelius Quantral McClary, 33, who was sentenced for assault and battery, burglary, criminal conspiracy and weapons convictions.
▪ Damonte Marquez Rivera, 24, who was serving a life sentence for murder, armed robbery, burglary and kidnapping.
▪ Corey Scott, 38, who was serving 22 years for assault and battery, criminal conspiracy, carjacking, aggravated assault and battery, kidnapping and armed robbery.
▪ Raymond Angelo Scott, 28, who was serving 25 years for assault and battery and multiple weapons convictions.
Sunday night's seven deaths are the most in any South Carolina prison in recent history, The Associated Press reported. It was the nation's most deadly prison riot in 25 years, according to the Reuters news agency.
About 55 miles from Columbia, Lee Correctional houses about 1,600 inmates, and they are among South Carolina's most violent, longest-serving offenders.
The prison has been the site of several large, violent insurrections, including one in which an inmate overpowered a guard and used his keys to free others from their cells. Among the incidents:
▪ Sunday's fatal fights came three weeks after inmates briefly held an officer hostage and took control of part of a dorm.
▪ In July 2017, one inmate died during a fight.
▪ In January 2016, five inmates were injured in a fight in one of the housing units. Five months later, one inmate was killed and another injured during an incident.
▪ In 2012 and 2013, the prison was taken over twice by inmates.
▪ In December 2007, five corrections officers were hurt in an attack by three inmates in one of the dorms.
South Carolina prisons, as a whole, are rife with violence, illegal weapons and gangs.
Last year, a dozen inmates were killed in South Carolina prisons, the highest number in years. In one incident, four were killed by fellow prisoners at the state's Kirkland Correctional Institution in Columbia.
In just three and a half months of 2018, nine inmates have been slain.
The prison system is "a tinderbox that is just getting hotter and hotter," said Georgetown attorney Ed Bell, who has represented injured or killed inmates and their families. "The gangs now run the prisons."
It's well known in prisons, Bell said, that if you aren't a gang member, you have to become one or pay protection money to the gangs. "If you don't, you'll be attacked and stabbed."
State officials blamed Sunday night's Lee Correctional riots primarily on gangs, contraband and under-staffing.
"These folks are fighting over real money and real territory while they're incarcerated," Stirling said Monday, adding officials suspect cellphones were used to inform inmates in the second and third dorms that a fight had broken out in the first.
Stirling and McMaster called for the Federal Communications Commission to do away with laws that prohibit cellphone jamming in prisons.
An illegal cellphone allowed one inmate to exchange text messages with an Associated Press reporter after the riots.
"I just saw three dead on the sidewalk outside of my unit. One guy is still alive and breathing, but just barely," the inmate told AP.
The inmate said that many cell door locks were already broken before the riot and that he and other prisoners roamed around freely. Hours after the violence started, no correctional officers or medical personnel attended to the dead or dying, he said.
"It's been over two hours, but no COs (corrections officers) have responded to this unit, and no medical personnel have attempted to render any kind of aid," he wrote to the AP reporter. "The COs never even attempted to render aid, nor quell the disturbance. They just sat in the control bubble, called the issue in, then sat on their collective asses."
Stirling said the guards followed protocol by backing out and asking for support. It took several hours to restore order, but once a special SWAT team entered, the inmates gave up peacefully, he said. No prison guards were hurt.
In the aftermath, some S.C. lawmakers said Monday it's past time to reform prison conditions and that the state must do more to drive down the state's prison population, using sentencing reform to weed out non-violent inmates.
"A mass-casualty incident inside a correctional facility is simply unacceptable," S.C. House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford, D-Richland, said Monday. "Rioting like this is a symptom (that) our criminal justice system is broken and needs reform now."
"I hate that tragedy is always the spark to get the fire of change going," said state Rep. Justin Bamberg, a Bamberg Democrat who represented an inmate slain at a state prison on New Year's Eve. "When are we going to say, as a state, that our people deserve better, that people don't have to die before we actually say, 'Let's fix it.' "
Staff writers Emily Bohatch, Dwayne McLemore, John Monk, Maayan Schechter and Jamie Self and The Associated Press contributed.

And Now He's Retired: UFC Lightweight John Cholish Hangs Up the Gloves Over Low Pay
Cholish estimates that after training costs, his paycheck from last night's fight wasn't enough to break even. Photo courtesy of his Twitter page.
No matter how gloriously cheesy the TapouT commercials try to make it look, life as a fighter is far from easy. Training full-time is extremely taxing on your body, promoters and fellow fighters alike can be shady, unpleasant individuals, sponsors try to stiff you, and because the pay involved is so low for most fighters, it's all essentially just for the glory of saying you're better at a sport than the guy across from you.
That's why – in many ways – it should come as little surprise that UFC Lightweight also-ran John Cholish is walking away from the sport after his loss to Gleison Tibau during last night's UFC on FX 8.
If you find yourself wondering who John Cholish is, you're far from alone. After compiling a 7-1 record in the minor leagues – including a victory on the undercard of Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva – the Renzo Gracie product made his UFC debut at UFC 140, where he defeated Mitch Clarke by second round TKO. This would be the final victory of his career, as Cholish would then drop a decision to Danny Castillo during the UFC on FOX 3 undercard, lose to Gleison Tibau last night and retire from the sport. Another small fish in a big pond, whose career barely made a splash.
Perhaps fittingly, Cholish's retirement may very well end up being the most significant part of his career. Cholish – who announced his intent to retire on Twitter shortly before the his fight – made it clear while speaking with MMAJunkie.com that the low paychecks that fighters in his position earn were his primary motivation for hanging up the gloves.

Water Filtration Systems – Hickory, North CarolinaHomeowners refuse to suffer from the sour or poorly treated water! Home water filtration systems are available and will condition your property's water to maximize fresh taste and smell. How's that for water quality treatment? At Benjamin Franklin Water Filtration Systems Hickory, we don't believe you should be subject to bad-tasting or poorly cleaning water.

Moreover, investing in our water filtration systems will save you money in the long run. No more extra laundry cycles, excessive soap use, or bottled water. Hard water has many negative consequences as it doesn't react properly with soaps. Because of all the calcium, magnesium, and iron in the hard water, you get dull, slimy water. This will leave your skin and hair dry and offer not-so-clean clothes. What's more, hard water may leave stains on fabrics, dishes, and fixtures due to mineral deposits clinging to surfaces. It can even wear away at the insides of expensive appliances and corrode plumbing fixtures. But don't fret!
Our water treatment process will:
- Filter out bad tastes and smells that come with small amounts of algae, hydrogen sulfide, and metals like iron or zinc;
- Filter out chlorine, which dries skin and fades clothes;
- And improve taste and neutralize water odors.
We take service and courtesy seriously. In fact, we're certified for Water Treatment with the Better Business Bureau consecutively since 2011. This means BBB determines our services meet their accreditation standards. These standards include a commitment to solve any customer need, no matter the scale.
We Are BBB Certified

Scientists are on the verge of answering one of the greatest questions in history: Are we alone? Combining the latest telescope images with dazzling CGI, "Finding Life Beyond Earth" immerses audiences in the sights and sounds of alien worlds, while top astrobiologists explain how these places are changing how we think about the potential for life in our solar system. We used to think our neighboring planets and moons were fairly boring — mostly cold, dead rocks where life could never take hold. Today, however, the solar system looks wilder than we ever imagined. Powerful telescopes and unmanned space missions have revealed a wide range of dynamic environments — atmospheres thick with organic molecules, active volcanoes and vast saltwater oceans. This ongoing revolution is forcing scientists to expand their ideas about what kinds of worlds could support life. If we do find primitive life forms elsewhere in the solar system, it may well be that life is common in the universe — the rule, and not the exception.

Kurd Sellout Watch, Day 421
Should we partition Iraq?
"Iraq is not salvageable as a unitary state." So writes Peter Galbraith, America's pre-eminent Kurdophile, in the May 13 New York Review of Books ("How To Get Out of Iraq"). Leslie Gelb, formerly an assistant secretary in Jimmy Carter's State Department and subsequently a diplomatic correspondent for the New York Times, made a similar point on the Times op-ed page in November. Ralph Peters, a retired Army lieutenant colonel who writes on military strategy, has been calling for the breakup of Iraq for nearly a year. Reluctantly, Chatterbox is starting to think Galbraith, Gelb, and Peters have a point.
"The Iraq we're trying to herd back together," Peters wrote in July 2003, "consists of three distinct nations caged under a single, bloodstained flag." Iraq was famously invented in 1921 by Winston Churchill, then the British colonial secretary tasked with carving up the recently defeated Ottoman Empire. Churchill's main concern was to consolidate areas containing, or suspected to contain, oil fields. He achieved that at the expense of long-term political stability. From the start, mistrust existed between the country's three predominant groups: the Shiite Arabs in the south, the Sunni Arabs in the middle, and the Kurds, who weren't Arabs at all, in the north. A succession of regimes managed to yoke these three groups together only through varying degrees of repression, with Saddam's the most repressive of all. Short of putting a tanned, rested, and ready Saddam back in charge—a possibility we can surely rule out—government by repression is no longer an option.
Peters and Gelb seem to believe that the Bush administration's attempt to maintain postwar Iraq under a centralized government was doomed from the start. Galbraith, a liberal Democrat who opposed Saddam's regime well before the GOP did, thinks a unified Iraq may once have been achievable. But the failure of the United States to maintain order after the fall of Baghdad—most especially, to stop the looting of all the country's major institutions save the oil ministry—caused Iraq's professional class, "the very people the US looks to in rebuilding the country," to lose "confidence in, and respect for, the US occupation authorities." Now, Galbraith says, Humpty Dumpty can't be put together gain.
How would partition work? Gelb and Galbraith propose a very loose federation on the model of the former Yugoslavia. (Gelb envisions something akin to Yugoslavia as ruled after World War II by Marshall Tito, a Communist leader who avoided Soviet control; Galbraith prefers the model of Yugoslavia after Tito's death in 1980.) The obvious problem with this model is that the federation unraveled starting in the early 1990s, leading to bloody civil war. But Galbraith, who was ambassador to Croatia in the Clinton administration, maintains that Yugoslavia's breakup was not inevitable. If Slobodan Milosevic had been willing to settle for "a looser federation," Galbraith argues, "there is every reason to think that Yugoslavia—and not just Slovenia— would be joining the European Union this May." Gelb blames Europeans and Americans for taking too long to come to the aid of Bosnians and Croats but notes that the region is now relatively stable and that Kosovo will soon enjoy some form of autonomy.
The sharing of oil revenue would be the main function of the loose federation envisioned by Gelb, Galbraith, and Peters. Galbraith posits "a weak presidency rotating among the republics, with [further] responsibilities limited to foreign affairs, monetary policy, and some coordination of defense policy." Peters has a more radical proposal. By all means, he says, let's try the federal solution. But if the Sunnis, who are bitter about losing control over Iraq, persist in their violent rebellion against all proposed post-Saddam arrangements, Peters says we should dissolve the federation and create three "fully independent states." That, Peters notes, would "leave the Sunni Arabs to rot," since the Sunnis have no oil to speak of. In practice, Peters' plan to dissolve the federation altogether may well be what Gelb's and Galbraith's plans would lead to. "Loose federations rarely last," observes Joost Hiltermann, a human rights expert who has followed events in Iraq. (The organization he works for, International Crisis Group, has been urging Kurds to moderate their territorial demands, which would be advisable no matter what the larger outcome.)
Gelb and Galbraith both assume the Sunnis are probably ungovernable, at least for the near term. But partition, Galbraith argues, would at least limit the anarchy to "a finite area," thereby making the U.S. military's peacekeeping job easier to perform than it is now. Eventually, some sort of Sunni government would, one hopes, emerge, though given the region's propensity for thuggery (Saddam is a Sunni), it's hard to imagine that government would be a model of parliamentary democracy. Maybe the Peters threat to cut off oil revenues would help. The effectiveness of this threat can only be known down the road, when there is significant oil revenue to cut off.
Autonomy for the Shiite region is in many ways more problematic. The Shiites wouldn't starve, because they have oil. And there's no particular reason to think they don't know how to run a free and fair election. The worry is what that free and fair election would choose. In December, Gelb said it wasn't likely that the Shiites would preside over "a theocratic state." Taking into account subsequent events, Galbraith has to concede that the Shiites are, in fact, pretty likely to vote themselves a theocratic government. That would almost certainly mean the Shiites would impose restrictions on free speech and the rights of women that Westerners and more than a few Shiites would find repugnant. But Galbraith says that if we were able to remove ourselves relatively quickly, the Shiite government might be "less overtly anti-American."
Andrew Apostolou, director of research at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a nonprofit group, is more hopeful that the Shiite theocrats can be defeated. "I don't believe that just because they're the loudest and the noisiest they're the most powerful," he told Chatterbox, citing an April 5 Guardian account of an election in Tar, a town of 15,000 people. Neither of the two Islamist candidates for 10 town council seats won. But Tar is hardly typical; it was the first town in Iraq to rise up against Saddam during the unsuccessful rebellion that followed the first Gulf war.
The third autonomous state created by the breakup of Iraq would be Iraqi Kurdistan. Autonomy is what Iraqi Kurds have long desired, and it's more or less what the No-Fly Zone created by the United States and Britain gave them after Gulf War I. The Kurds have already demonstrated that they can hold free elections and maintain a free press. An early March memo from the Coalition Provision Authority, unearthed last week by reporter Jason Vest, alludes vaguely to Kurdish corruption. (The Washington Post's "Reliable Source" columnist, Richard Leiby, says three sources told him the memo's author was former Pentagon aide Michael Rubin, though Rubin wouldn't confirm it.) The memo describes an evening with an Iraqi Kurd spent watching the Godfather trilogy and "discussing which Iraqi Kurdish politicians represented which character." But assuming that means the Kurdish leadership has a propensity for Chicago-style ward politics, its vices shouldn't cause much loss of sleep. In any event, Kurdish leaders would have a long way to go before they robbed Kurdistan of as much money as Rubin suggests the United Nations did under the Oil-for-Food program.
Just about everybody who's operating free of any bureaucratic imperatives (including Chatterbox) believes the Kurds should enjoy autonomy within whatever kind of Iraqi state emerges. God knows they've earned it. The awkward question, though, is how you grant autonomy to the Kurds while denying it to the Shiites and the Sunnis.
The probable answer is: You can't. But accepting a three-state solution, enclosed inside a loose federation or not, likely means giving up on certain aspirations. One aspiration is to make Iraq a democratic nation. More likely, it would be a two-thirds democratic federation or geographic region, with the possibility of a Sunni democracy down the road. Another aspiration is to establish the rule of law. In the short run, and perhaps even in the long, that would likely happen only in Iraqi Kurdistan. A third aspiration is to stop the killing. But that wouldn't happen in the Sunni territory, though it might happen later. A fourth and final aspiration is to avoid taking a country that was fascist, but not terribly theocratic, and allowing one-third of it to become a theocracy. This hope is not merely idealistic but also, conceivably, related to national security, insofar as the creation of any new Islamic theocracy provides a potential recruiting ground for al-Qaida. But Chatterbox doesn't have any great ideas about how to keep Iraqi Shiites from making that democratic choice. As Galbraith says, maybe they'll hate us less if we let them make that choice sooner rather than later.
What's most depressing about the Peters-Gelb-Galbraith scenario is that it would create three autonomous governments or independent states that represented only an incremental improvement on what was there before (except with regard to geopolitical stability). It would make us scratch our heads and wonder why we fought a war in Iraq. But that may be unavoidable, too.

Yesterday I showed Newt at the biggest show I have taken him to yet. Sometimes I struggle with Newt because he has very, very big shoes to fill. The struggle comes from having ridden and shown some very exceptional horses in my lifetime. Newt is a nice solid horse that is still maturing but there are parts of him that will never measure up to Vaquero (link) or Roxy. I can accept this fact but I still need coaching from my husband to remind me that when I show Newt I can only show to his ability.
This is a personal challenge for me because I like to show without holding anything back. When showing Newt I sometimes 'forget' that he isn't able to show at the same level that I can. My challenge is to show Newt to the best level that HE is capable of.
Owning Newt adds another layer to the whole issue. Showing horses is a bit like gambling and I don't tend to bet on myself. I tend to be frugal and save my money. Let me explain.
When I enter a class at a reining show I will show my horse once, one reining pattern, but very often that could count for multiple classes. For example if I am eligible for a class, there are likely several 'levels' inside of the class. If there are four 'levels' and I pay the entry fee in each level then my one run can count for four classes. Or I can enter one level, do the same single run, but I am only eligible to win in the level I entered.
It is a great system for the horses because if each level of each class were run individually it would be exhausting for the horses. Instead one run counts for multiple classes.
Yesterday when I was entering Newt, I chose to enter two out of the four classes. I chose this because entering classes isn't free and I saved $90.00 by not entering the other two classes. The upper two classes that I didn't enter were also tougher classes and I chose to save my money.
People were usually surprised to learn that I didn't own Roxy…but there have been many times when I have said that it was a blessing in disguise. The blessings came in many ways but one was that the owner of the horse got to decide what classes to enter me in. This made it feel less like I was gambling on myself and more like the horse owner was making the choice.
I know this shouldn't matter….but apparently it still does for me.
Yesterday when I showed Newt it turns out I was both right and wrong in my choices. I was correct that there would be better horses in the class. Shawn Flarida, who just won gold at WEG was there and he out scored me and won one of the classes I didn't enter. I would have been second…which would have been awesome.
I was also wrong because my score would have won the other class that I didn't enter. A summary would be:
- If I had entered all four classes I would have won three and been second to Shawn in the other
- Instead I won the two I did enter
So the question is: Regret or Rejoice? I know which I chose but which would you choose?

Festival teaches kids about rural life
Families get hands-on farm lessons
It was a perfect weekend for fall festivals, and a learning museum in Peru took visitors on a trip to the past.
The Babbie Rural and Farm Learning Museum hosted its fourth annual Rural Life Festival.
It gave kids a look at what life would be like without the advantage of technology.
"It teaches kids their heritage and how their forefathers and their grandparents... worked hard in the past. And the children get to experience what their grandparents and everybody, generations before, had to do to live in northeastern New York," said Karen Babbie, a museum volunteer.
Kids husked corn, took stage coach rides and watched blacksmith demos.
Organizers say 150 people came out to the festival.

point of furthering her education. But she was wrong.
"I chose WGU because it allowed me the flexibility I needed to balance working towards
a degree and still being able to work my regular full-time job," said Tara. "Any
other option would have required substantial travel and/or time off work."
The thing that attracted Tara to WGU the most was the ability to work at her own
pace. The competency-based model and the ability to test out of assessments proved
to be very beneficial to her. She completed all the coursework needed to graduate
in just one six-month term.
"The unique thing about WGU goes beyond the ability to work at your own pace. The
support provided by your mentor is of a quality that I have never seen in a college
or university before," Tara remarked. "From the beginning of the enrollment process
to applying for graduation, the people at WGU knew how to minimize the stress."
After graduating with her bachelor of science degree in business management, she
was promoted at work to an assistant director position. She had been employed there
for 10 years, and her degree opened up new possibilities for her.
Tara noted, "With the support of my husband and my own persistence and self-discipline,
I can proudly say I have my college degree, and I am the first in my family to be
able to say that."

Take a look at the following food and beverage blogs:
One of my favorites, Kate Hopkins has a food and beverage blog at Accidental Hedonist. In 2004, Kate launched the "Food Blog Awards".
Food and beverage blogs are touted at many websites.
FOODBlog has a comprehensive list of blogs and other food and beverage resources, including coffee links, wine blogs, other drink blogs, Chicago food resources, food blog meta-sites, food forums, food podcasts, food industry links, other food-related sites, non-food related but food named blogs, and (this is quite handy to weed out the blogs) dormant food blogs. Globe correspondent Ethan Gilsdorf points to many of the leading food blogs in his January 12, 2005 article, Food bloggers chronicle their delicious obsessions. Forbes has a list of "Best Food Blogs" by Breckinridge Ely while a Guardian article by Vicky Frost serves us up with The world on your plate, "a taste of the best of the blogs". There are also many articles online on gastronomy.
Here is a small selection of food and beverage blogs on the web.
Chez Pim is the blog of Pim Techamuanvivit, which has been hailed for its restaurant reviews and also contains things like a recent series of postings on the wine harvest in Burgundy by a Burgundian wine maker.
Heidi Swanson, a cookbook collector out of San Francisco, goes into the world of 101 Cookbooks.
Clotilde Dusoulier has a very popular blog in English, Chocolate & Zucchini. Her new book Chocolate & Zucchini: Daily Adventures in a Parisian Kitchen is set to launch soon and can be pre-ordered at Amazon. Vicky Frost at the Guardian lauds Dusoulier's blog for "great photography and inspiring recipes".
Andy Hayler's Food Site contains "notes on restaurants around the world".
Meg Hourihan was cofounder of Pyra, the company behind Blogger before it was purchased by Google. Megnut is Meg Hourihan's site about food.
Amy Sherman's blog Cooking with Amy hails out of San Francisco and focuses on "original food writing providing recipes, restaurant and product reviews, contests, essays and insight into culinary news."
Adam Roberts serves to us the Amateur Gourmet, a blog made instantly famous by CNN, which featured his photo essay on the Janet Jackson breast cupcake.
For those who speak French, Pascale Weeks has a "cuisine best-seller" at C'est moi qui l'ai fait [It is I who made it] - but not available in English.
An interesting site, not a blog but more of a message board "for those who live to eat" is the food and drink community at Chowhound.com.

Lead is bad stuff - if you're talking about its affect on human
health that is. People have been suffering from the ill effects of lead
poisoning, likely, since it was first discovered. Historians/researchers
even suggest lead may have played a key role in the downfall of the
Roman Empire centuries ago. Lead pipes brought in water to the Roman
palaces, subjecting the hierarchy to its awful side effects. With lead's
known effect on brain function, historians believe Rome's financial and
military shortfalls, in its later years, were brought about by
incompetent (lead-poisoned) leaders.
Most certainly, lead has some useful applications. Batteries are a good example. Lead makes a great projectile - it melts and forms easily and it's cheap. Poke it in a metal tube, stuff some gun powder behind it, ignite it and you have a bullet or cannonball that stays intact and hits hard.
Aside from its importance in military weaponry, lead has been a key component as ammunition for hunters - long before Dan'l Boone stuffed his first lead slug down the barrel of his musket. For decades, this nation's ammunition manufacturers have used lead in their products. In all this time, literally millions of tons have been sprayed over the forests, uplands and marshes, in the form of bullets and shotgun pellets. Soon, all this lead in the environment began to show its ugly head. Waterfowl began dying in the millions as they ingested much of this metal sifting through marsh soils. Then raptors would pick up the lead when they fed on the dying birds. That's an entire story in itself, but the end result was a ban on shotgun shells containing lead on federal and state wildlife areas. But, lead can still be used for other birds and animals off government lands.
Lynn Tompkins knows very well the terrible affects lead can have on wildlife. Tompkins is the director of Blue Mountain Wildlife, a rehabilitation center in Pendleton. The center takes in ill and injured critters and deals with their needs. The center has been running for 23 years. It took in more than 800 "patients" last year.
Many of the raptors that come onto BMW have lead poisoning in some form or another. Twelve eagles were brought in last summer and half were suffering from this malady. Some birds arrive in very sad shape. Lead affects the nervous system. Some birds will come in with a loss of coordination - their eyes drooping and their feet curled. Most are starving. It's tough being a predator, as the only way to get breakfast is to hunt with sharp reflexes and "weaponry" in good working order.
After x-rays and blood samples, the lead-poisoned birds go into several months of chelation treatments and a long recuperation period. Chelate binds with the lead and is then secreted through the kidneys.
Recently, Tompkins and her team have been screening all the raptors brought in for lead-poisoning, even if they don't show symptoms. Surprisingly, nearly all have lead in their systems. With a good deal of research on her own part, and looking at studies from many others, Tompkins has a good idea of how most of these birds are picking up lead in their daily routines.
One, since lead shot isn't banned in most areas, raptors are picking it up through other means of hunting. A chukar hunter, for example, drops a bird while hunting the breaks of the Snake River. The bird cripples away eluding the hunter. After the hunter leaves, a golden eagle sees the wounded bird and grabs it. Soon he's eating fresh chukar along with a good dose of lead pellets. Researchers have concluded that as few as two ingested pellets can kill a bird as large as a trumpeter swan.
This writer has seen it first-hand. Many times while chukar hunting I've observed falcons, golden eagles and accipiter hawks following our group. It became obvious to me, that these birds had learned to expect a meal or two from our hunting forays. I switched to steel shot for all birds many years ago.
Another way raptors are picking up lead is through another form of hunting. Ground squirrels live almost everywhere. Ranchers shoot them to ease the damage they cause to their crops. Many hunters pursue them in the off-season as a means to keep their shooting skills sharp. Most use .22 caliber or .177 rifles loaded with lead ammo. It's a common misconception that even though these hard-hitting rounds usually pierce completely through their targets, they do leave fragments behind. When researchers began putting squirrels killed by conventional bullets in to X-ray machines, it became obvious that fragments were still present in the carcasses. I don't squirrel hunt anymore, but I remember putting dead squirrels on fence posts so the neighborhood hawks would find these and make use of them. I know other hunters that do the same. In truth, they should be buried so the birds can't find them.
Fortunately, ammunition companies have come up with steel rounds for those who pursue squirrels or other small game. Nosler, Remington and Winchester, to name a few, all have small-caliber bullets made with non-toxic steel. Now, with the availability of steel shot for shotguns and steel bullets for your .22 or .177, there really is no reason to carry lead in your ammo belt. Hunters can still enjoy a good brace of delicious chukar partridge without tainting the environment and putting our beloved raptors through undue suffering. Lynn Tompkins needs a break.

My father owns two pieces of land. He invested one of them in an agricultural project depending on his own money, governmental grants, and an interest-based loan. Since he could not complete his first project, he had to invest the second piece in another agricultural project. But the state here and the agricultural bank do not give money for more than one project at one time. So I rented the second piece of land from my father and wrote it in my name. And thus I considered it helping my father (I do not really run the project, I just did this being good to my father).
My father continued his project and became heavily in debt, and became fully dependant on the second loan. That time I knew that the interest-based loans are considered Riba, and that it is considered great sin, no difference in that between the one who takes it, gives it, witnesses it or write it down.
Since I refused to sign the second loan, we tried to find another source for money. But it is very difficult to find the needed amount of money in a little time. Especially that we became badly in need for money, as we must spend to take care of the trees or they will die and be lost.
My father had to write cheques, without funds in his bank, so he is exposed to be jailed. (In our country if you cannot pay then you will be jailed). Thus he will not be able to pay off his debt; he will loose also his project and his mortgaged land.
The question:
Are the mentioned above circumstances considered necessity that allows me to sign on the second loan?
It is obvious to you that taking riba based loans is haraam, and that it is a major sin which incurs the wrath and punishment of Allaah, and the one who does that is given a threat of war from Allaah. Hence the one who resorts to that rarely succeeds.
Based on this, your father has to repent to Allaah and regret what he has done, and resolve not to do it again in the future.
Your father should look for means of getting the money he needs, such as tawarruq, which means buying something to be paid for in instalments, then selling it to someone else for a lower price to be paid in cash. Thus he will be able to get money with which to pay off what he owes. Or he may deal in salam, and sell a known amount of produce on the basis that he will hand it over after one or two years, and take the money for it now.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever pays for something in advance, let him pay in advance for a specified measure and a specified weight, for a specified amount of time." Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2241) and Muslim (1604).
If he cannot find any permissible means of getting the money to pay off the debt, and that will result in him going to prison and losing the land that is mortgaged to the bank, then this is a case of necessity which makes it permissible to engage in riba.
See question no. 94823 for the guidelines on what constitutes a necessity that makes it permissible to engage in riba.
If your father can take the loan himself, then it is not permissible for you to engage in riba under any circumstances; if he cannot take a loan, we put your question to Shaykh Dr. Khaalid al-Mushayqih (may Allaah preserve him) and he replied that it is permissible for you to take a loan in that case. He said: Undoubtedly riba is haraam and a major sin, and the one who does that is cursed and in a state of war with Allaah. Because that is the case, one should try to avoid it. But the principle is that cases of necessity make forbidden things permissible. If that will lead to harmful consequences for the father, whether it is prison or a penalty and so on, then it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but if they can find a better way such as a loan and salam and so on, then that is preferable.
O Shaykh: the necessity in this case applies to the father and not to the son; is the ruling the same?
He said: Yes, the ruling is the same. End quote.
We also asked Shaykh Dr. 'Abd al-'Azeez al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) the following: There is a man whose father will be imprisoned because of debt; can he take a riba based loan to save his father?
He replied: If he cannot find any other way, then I hope that there will be no sin on him because of necessity but he should hate riba in his heart. End quote.
And Allaah knows best.
