Today Egypt is celebrating Sinai day. For those who do not know what is , it commemorates the withdrawal of Israeli troops in 1982 from Sinai Peninsula except from Taba. After 31 years ago I have to ask two important questions today especially with all the debates around Sinai recently
Who killed our soldiers in Sinai ??
Yes whenever I hear the word "Sinai" now I always remember how our soldiers were brutally murdered in cold blood last August 2012 and I remember how on earth months passed and we did not know the truth behind their murder. It is not an easy violent terrorist attack , it had shaken the society and I even remember how some compared it with the bitterness of 1967 defeat.
President Morsi , the army and the intelligence should be frank and honest to tell us the truth. The army commandership should respect the blood of those soldiers as well their families and tell us the truth.
Of course in the past few months wild conspiracy theories and claims about how Hamas directly standing behind their murders were taking Egypt's mainstream and social media by storm. For several weeks in March 2013 Ahram Al Arabi published a series of reports by names of Hamas leaders claiming that they are responsible personally for the attack. Hamas of course denied those allegations completely.
Naturally when you bring Hamas in such debate you bring with it ; its mother movement the Muslim brotherhood is dragged and it is not a secret that many people are convinced now that the president Morsi and the MB stood behind the attack themselves. According to that theory Morsi and the MB wanted to get rid from SCAF and they did. They say that GIS presented a full report to Morsi about the attack a week before it took place and that he did not take any step regarding it. Of course one must wonder why the GIS did not warn the army about it.
The info or let's just say that the leaks I heard from sources "supposedly to be trusted" say that Hamas did not do it and kill our soldiers but they do know those who stand behind their murder and they refuse to hand them over to Cairo.
The army announced some military operation called "Eagle" if you remember. Till this moment we do not its progress and actually all the indications in Sinai. From what I see the terrorists and the Jihadists have not been stopped at all.
I believe again if the GIS or the army knows any information about that attack both of them should share it with the people of Egypt because it is their duty in front of the people and the country. I think that age of keeping the things in secret so the president is not embarrassed is over not to mention they do not love the president or his group.
Of course one would dream to have a real constitution and a real parliament that would bring both the minister of defense and the head of the intelligence and ask them about what happened to our soldiers in a public hearing like the congressional hearings we saw about Iraq and Afghanistan.
Well I keep dreaming this and I wish to see it before I die !!
After 31 years What did we do in Sinai ??
Today hundreds if not thousands of Egyptians shared the photos of Yamit settlement and how its Israeli settlers were kicked out of Sinai from 31 years ago. Those who witnessed the event on TV remembered the scenes of Israeli forces pulling away the settlers from the agricultural settlement.
Now after 31 years I would like to say that unfortunately after seeing the photos of Yamit , I wonder where the urban development from in North and Middle Sinai !!
Why did we fail to have settlements like Yamit in the past 31 years !? For 31 years we have failed in securing Sinai for real. In 3 decades the people of Sinai are completely ignored by the centralized government in Egypt with jobs or education or even respect. In 3 decades Sinai became a hot zone for human and drug smuggling and trafficking. In the past decades Sinai saw a growing terrorist spots and now we got Jihadists in the past 3 years roaming freely.
Of course the biggest blame here is on the Mubarak regime in that failure leaving Sinai without no real urban development plans all those years. The only thing related to development in Sinai in those 30 years was the tourism development in the South that actually is not enough. Sinai is empty land and it should not be so for too long.
I do not believe that Camp David treaty is the true reason as much as the lack of political will whether in time of Mubarak or in time of Morsi.
Speaking about Morsi , well it seems that Sinai is going to complete its suffering under the MB rule. Actually our national security in Sinai is being threatened by the MB's own definition of National security and their regional and international policies.
The MB does not recognize the meaning of borders as the brotherhood believes in the caliphate , they believe that Egypt and Gaza are one part of global Caliphate.I do not think that they will think in the same way like we do if the scenario of resettling the Palestinian refugees in Sinai was suggested by the States and Israel as a permanent solution. After all Sinai is regarded an empty land in their eyes , a wasteland !!
By the way you must know that it was true that the MB and Morsi were approving to sell large pieces of land in Sinai to Qatari and Turkish investors , the thing that the army stood against. The ministry of defense issued a controversial law to ban the sell of land in Sinai to foreigners from couple of months ago. According to the law the ministry of defense and the intelligence should approve on the lease of land to foreigners and purchase of land in the Peninsula.
Of course the law made the locals extremely angry in Sinai because it banned the ownership and purchase of land on the borders and the area near to the borders.
This is the first law to be issued without the revision of the Shura council or the approval of the president. It was one of the milestones of the complicated relations between the army and the MB.
In the end Sinai will be always in danger as long as it is neglected , as long as its people are treated as second degree citizens and as long as the only development we think of when we speak about Sinai is the tourism development.

DENVER—About 60 students spent the night at their school on Colorado's Eastern Plains after a windy snowstorm closed surrounding roads.
Miami-Yoder school principal Sharon Webb said Wednesday that the pre-schoolers to 12th graders watched movies, played basketball, ate concession-stand pizza and talked to their parents before bedtime.
The older kids slept on wrestling and gym mats covered with coats while the younger ones curled up on pre-school napping mats.
The school is a large version of a one-room school house. The students all know each other, and many are related, which Webb said gave it the feel of a sleepover.
Some drivers were also stranded. KKTV reported some spent the night at a fire station in Ellicott, southeast of Denver.
Many roads, including the eastern half of Interstate 70 in the state, have since reopened.

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — When the Marshwood High School football team walked off the field at Bowdoin College after winning the 1989 Maine Class A championship, few envisioned that it would be more than two decades before the Hawks returned to a state final.
After all, those Hawks, one of the most dominant teams in state history, had just completed a four-year stretch in which they had won three titles in three different classes.
"We had size, speed, dedication and talent," said Rod Wotton, who coached Marshwood to 17 state championships, including the 1989 team. "It was about all you ask for from a high-school football team. Pretty good for a team from a school that was so small."
Marshwood went 12-0 that season and capped the decade with a 26-14 win over Skowhegan for the championship. It was the last of Wotton's titles won with the Hawks. He went on to win four more as the coach of St. Thomas Aquinas in Dover.
"I didn't realize it had been that long," said Wotton, who is now retired and lives in York, Maine. "I thought they went to the finals another year, but I guess I was wrong. Twenty-three years is a long time."
This year's Marshwood team will play in its first championship game since 1989 when it faces Mt. Blue for the Class B title Saturday night at 6:06 p.m. at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland. Marshwood (10-1) won the Western Maine Class B championship last weekend with a 21-20 win over York. Mt. Blue, the Eastern champion, is 11-0.
"I hope they can take it all the way," Wotton said about his former team. "If they can play without making any mistakes, they should give Mt. Blue all they can handle."
The undisputed star of the game, and the season, for Marshwood in 1989 was Steve Knight, a 5-foot-11, 195-pound running back who scored all of the Hawks' points that afternoon. He scored on touchdown runs of 44, 2, 92 and 4 yards and added a 2-point conversion.
"I just remember the group of guys we had," said Knight, who now runs his own business in Danvers, Mass. "We had a great team, and we were all friends on and off the field. The coaching staff was excellent as well."
The Hawks led 20-8 at halftime but Skowhegan got right back in the game with a third-quarter touchdown. Marshwood, which had won 23 straight going into that game, took over at its own 44 in the final minute of the third frame. The Hawks put together a drive that featured nine runs, five by Knight and one by Cory Carignan, giving themselves all the insurance they needed.
It was Marshwood's first year in Class A. The Hawks had won the Class C title in 1986 and the Class B crown in 1988. Their 20-0 loss to Wells in the Class B semifinals in 1987 was the only loss in four years for the senior class that won the 1989 championship, as the team went 43-1 in that stretch.
The Hawks were beyond dominant in 1989. They amassed more than 3,100 yards on the ground that season and outscored opponents 437-101. They beat Cheverus 41-0 in the regional semifinals and Biddeford 15-8 in the final. Their regular-season game against Biddeford, a 27-13 win, attracted a crowd estimated at 8,500 fans to their field in Eliot.
Knight finished with 1,452 yards to give him 3,185 for his career, along with 61 rushing touchdowns. He won the Fitzpatrick Award that year, given to the top high school football player in Maine. He went on to a standout four-year career at the University of Maine, where he ran for 1,408 yards and was co-captain his senior year.
Other standouts in that senior class included Carignan, who had 89 yards on 11 carries against Skowhegan, as well as three tackles and an interception in the end zone; Justin Rosberg, a 6-3, 250-pound defensive tackle; Abel Schultze, a 5-9, 205-pound fullback; defensive lineman Mike Adamets and quarterback Geoff Gordon.
Knight said the seeds of Marshwood's dominating senior class and its string of championships were planted well before the players reached high school. Playing for the Little Hawks youth program, Knight and his teammates were well aware of what lay ahead in high school with Coach Wotton.
"He had a reputation, and we knew going forward what was going to happen the first time you touched the football in fourth grade," Knight said. "You grew up knowing who he was."
Knight, who coaches his 10-year-old son's youth-football team, hadn't decided if he'd make the trip to Portland on Saturday night to see his old team. But said he's been keeping up with the Hawks all season.
"I usually get updates from my dad," Knight said. "He comes down to my son's games and updates me. There's a possibility I may make it up there. I haven't been to a game in some time. It's pretty exciting."
Marshwood's 1989 team was something to behold

It is possible that the main title of the report Apraxia is not the name you expected.
Apraxia is a neurological disorder characterized by the inability to perform learned (familiar) movements on command, even though the command is understood and there is a willingness to perform the movement. Both the desire and the capacity to move are present but the person simply cannot execute the act.
Patients with apraxia cannot use tools or perform such acts as tying shoelaces or button shirts etc. The requirements of daily living are difficult to meet. Patients whose ability to speak is interrupted (aphasia) but who are unaffected by apraxia are able to live a relatively normal life; those with significant apraxia are almost invariably dependent.
Apraxia comes in several different forms:
Limb-kinetic apraxia is the inability to make precise or exact movements with a finger, an arm or a leg. An example is the inability to use a screwdriver notwithstanding that the person affected understands what is to be done and has done it in the past.
Ideomotor apraxia is the inability to carry out a command from the brain to mimic limb or head movements performed or suggested by others.
Conceptual apraxia is much like ideomotor ataxia but infers a more profound malfunctioning in which the function of tools is no longer understood.
Ideational apraxia is the inability to create a plan for a specific movement.
Buccofacial apraxia, (sometimes called facial-oral apraxia) is the inability to coordinate and carry out facial and lip movements such as whistling, winking, coughing etc on command. This form includes verbal or speech developmental apraxia, perhaps the most common form of the disorder.
Constructional apraxia affects the person's ability to draw or copy simple diagrams or to construct simple figures.
Oculomotor apraxia is a condition in which patients find it difficult to move their eyes.
Apraxia is believed to be caused by a lesion in the neural pathways of the brain that contain the learned patterns of movement. It is often a symptom of neurological, metabolic, or other disorders that can involve the brain.

SpillNot No-Spill Mug Holder
No spills, thanks to physics!
- Genius invention that lets you carry a full cup without spilling it
- Put the cup on the base, lift and carry SpillNot by the strap
- You can even do tricks (with some practice!)
We love our coffee and TeaEarlGreyHot and caffeinated hot chocolate, but if we had a nickel for every time we've spilled hot beverage on ourselves, we'd have at least five dollars. Who knew the walk from the kitchen back to our cubes would be so fraught with danger?
The SpillNot mug holder will save you from spills with the magic of physics! Science FTW! Here's how it works:
- When you hold a cup of hot beverage, inertia keeps the liquid from moving. But when you walk, you create horizontal force, causing the side of the cup to press against the liquid, which then rises up and over the edge of the cup.
- The flexible loop handle of SpillNot cannot deliver a lateral acceleration to the saucer or the cup. As the handle moves horizontally, the saucer and cup swing up slightly in the opposite direction, balancing everything out so the liquid stays in the cup.
- When you are walking normally, the only force acting in a direction that is not parallel to the sides of the cup is the force of gravity. (Of course, if you apply a vertical force by jerking your hand around or dropping the SpillNot, all bets are off!)
- If the SpillNot is swung all the way around in a loop such that the cup is upside down at the top of the arc, the liquid does not pour out of the cup due to the force which acts in the opposite direction as gravity when the cup is at the top of the arc. (Note: Try this outside with plastic cups first. You need to experiment to get the right amount of speed in your swing.)
Ready to carry your burning hot beverage around the office with confidence? Prepared to amaze your friends with crazy stunts starring physics? Get your own SpillNot and be the Mr. Wizard of the office.
Product Specifications
- Genius invention that lets you carry a full cup without spilling it
- Put the cup on the base, lift and carry SpillNot by the strap

When Jarin Straatsma showed up to one of his business classes as a junior at Barry University, he never anticipated that the class period would be a life-changing event. As his professor played a video illustrating the diverse work culture and famous employee perks of Google, Straatsma decided that from that day on, he would make it his life mission to secure a job at Google and become part of the multi-billion-dollar company, which earned the No. 1 spot on Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work for" in 2013.
"It was a dream of mine to work at Google," said Straatsma, who graduated from Barry in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in marketing. At that moment, I knew that this was the place I wanted to work."
Every day, for two months, Straatsma sent his resume to human resources at Google via mail and email. Although he didn't secure an interview, he did not get discouraged. Instead, upon graduating from Barry, he secured work as a security guard and later went to work for Aerotek, a leader in the recruiting and staffing industry.
Straatsma continued to make Google his goal during his time at Aerotek, and after nearly two years, his efforts paid off when Google contacted him in February 2013 through LinkedIn and offered him an interview as a technical recruiter, a position responsible for identifying elite software engineers from around the world. After one phone interview and five video interviews, Straatsma was offered the job. Two weeks later, he moved to California, where Google is headquartered.
"If you put your mind to it, you can do anything, Straatsma said. "A little sacrifice goes a long way."
In addition to his strong work ethic, Straatsma credits his success in the job market to his time at Barry, which represents a turning point in his life, he said.
"Barry saved my life," he said. "Before college, I was headed down the wrong path, and there is no telling where I would be right now."
As an undergraduate student, Straatsma was attracted to Barry's diverse culture and the small size of its classes, he said.
"I learned a lot better in that kind of environment," Straatsma said. "I wasn't another number … I've learned to accept other people's beliefs and cultures. I've learned to connect with people who aren't the same as me. That really helped me to excel in the business world. It taught me how to relate to people."
Barry's Career Services also played an important role in preparing Straatsma for the job market, he said, by helping him secure an internship during college, reviewing his resume with him, and offering him interviewing skills.
"Career Services was huge," he said. "I owe a lot to them for that."
In addition to using the resources available at Barry, Straatsma also advises students to pursue their passions – regardless of what they may be.
"Find that something you're passionate about, whether it be video games, sky diving or whatever it is," he said. "And then set a goal. For me, I wanted to work for Google."
Today, Straatsma remains an active part of the Barry community as a member of the Barry University Alumni Association – something that he recommends all Barry graduates become involved in.
"Being a part of the Alumni Association helped me to network and meet a lot of Barry people who are vested in the future," he said. "It's a very unique caliber of people … That's something I cherish."

Andre Dawson will finally be enshrined into the Baseball Hall of Fame. On Sunday afternoon, he will take his rightful place among the legends of the game. The lawn in Cooperstown, I'm sure, will be absolutely packed with Cubs (and possibly some Expos) fans for as far as the eye can see (or at least until the lawn runs out). I've never been to an induction ceremony and this was to be my first. If I had the opportunity, I would've attended Sandberg's. With the announcement of Dawson going in back in January, I immediately looked around to make hotel reservations.
As you could imagine, hotel accomodations were extremely hard to come by. Many hotels were sold out when I called and I started calling only minutes after the announcement was made. I had my numbers ready to go and as soon as my blackberry sent through the note that Dawson was in, I kindly stepped out of the meeting I was in and started the hunt for my Cooperstown home for this upcoming weekend. Apparently, while I wanted to be sure of Dawson getting in, many fans made their reservations ahead of time 'just in case'.
Motels nearby: sold out. Hotels: sold out. Quaint country side inns and Mom and Pop bed and breakfasts: sold out. One place was completely taken over by the media and Cooperstown employees which would make sense I suppose, at least for the media as they too would have to sleep somewhere, right? Well after widdling my way through sold out venues and those that require a 3 night stay (the induction is only on Sunday and the museum probably only really needs one day so 3 would be a little excessive….and expensive, like $1200) I finally found a place about a half hour/forty minutes away in beautiful, sunny, tropical Utica, NY. Ok, not ideally sitting on Main Street, Cooperstown with a view of the parade from my room window, but still, close enough to be a part of all the action and share in Dawson's big day.
Then about a week or two later, my wife and I found out she was pregnant (perhaps the only new year's resolution I've ever actually kept and accomplished so quickly by the way. TMI?) and we'd be having a baby come October and she'd be right in the thick of pregnancy in the hot, hot Summer days of July. A total trooper and excited about coming home with a new baseball cap, my wife was still game and hot or not, she was ready to go check out Cooperstown for the first time in her life and share in Dawson's big day.
I wanted to head up there with her and take in all the sights and sounds the town and the museum has to offer. Show her some of the cooler baseball memorabilia they have on display. Interview a ton of Cubs fans and get their take on the event and what it means to them. Interview haters and find out perhaps why they don't think Dawson belongs in the hall. Make some silly videos and archive our experience in Cooperstown that weekend to share with you all. And most importantly, just be around it and share in a historic afternoon that will bring Dawson's baseball achievements to a close with perhaps his greatest honor yet (the highest you can obtain as a player so yes, his highest honor).
Unfortunately, although I've mentioned it here in a few times and in the vlog I shot on the day of Dawson's Hall announcement, I will not be able to make it to Cooperstown this weekend. I do plan on finding some way of covering this event whether it is through an interview of some sort or what, I haven't decided. However, due to important family matters I will not be able to attend. My father-in-law had a stroke about two weeks ago and it was very, very scary. Driving my wife up to see him in the hospital, not knowing what was happening or what could happen was one of the most intense car rides I've ever experienced. I know what her parents mean to her so I just tried to get her there as quickly as I could. A good 5 hour drive from NYC to NH and we did it in about 4 hrs and 20 mins (don't tell the police though). : )
He is doing well and is able to talk although he has a lot of recovering to do and rehabbing coming up. A clot in his brain and some brain hemorraging was occuring and if his wife hadn't had him to the hospital as quickly as she did, this weekend could be much different. I just wanted to let you all know that I won't be able to go up to Cooperstown and share photos/videos with you of the big Andre Dawson gets into the Hall weekend as I said I would. As disappointing as that is, all things considered, I am happy to say that we will be spending the time with her father and mother at the rehab center in New Hampshire.
As I have my own son on his way, I'm starting to further understand how important family is. Back in January I couldn't name you one place I'd rather be this coming weekend. However with recent events, there's no way I'd be anywhere else than where I'm going to be.
If anyone has any photos, videos, etc after this weekend they'd like to share, or if you are attending and would be up for me interviewing you afterwards, please don't hestitate to email me at email@example.com. Thrilled for The Hawk and I look forward to hearing his speech and seeing all of the coverage on MLBN. It'll be cool too to hear Sandberg's speech or from anyone that is there to speak on behalf of Dawson as they knew him in his playing years and beyond.
This coming Sunday, Andre Dawson and I will having something in common. We will both be exactly where we should be and all things considered, for both of us it could be A LOT worse. (A more uplifting post about two Lou's and the greatsest movie managers of all time is to follow this evening. Go Cubs Go!)

African-American/African Diaspora Studies Minor
The African American/African Diaspora Studies Minor in the College of Arts & Sciences is an interdisciplinary minor designed to promote academic study of peoples and cultures throughout the African Diaspora. Multidisciplinary methods of inquiry and research give students broad theoretical approaches to the central questions and concerns of Diaspora studies—including race, culture, identity, diversity, history, and society. Students who earn a minor in African American/African Diaspora Studies examine these central concerns through regional, national, and global perspectives. Additionally, students engage in transformational learning opportunities, from internships and service learning to study abroad, in order to bridge theory and praxis. Students who earn this minor gain a broader appreciation for the diversity and richness of the histories and cultures of Africans, African Americans, and Africans in the Diaspora.

RUTLAND, Vt.—Freshman Zach Andrews (Coral Springs, Fla.) made history in net and freshman Peter MacIntyre (Norfolk, Mass.) accounted for all the scoring, as #10/13 UMass Boston (16-3-2, 9-3-2 ECAC East) knocked off Castleton State College (13-7-2, 8-6-1) 2-1 Saturday afternoon at the Spartan Arena.
Andrews earned his program-record 14th win of the season behind his best collegiate performance. The freshman netminder made 32 stops on 33 shots including stopping the final 23 shots he saw. Over the final two periods of play, Andrews made nine saves in the second and 11 more in the third, to hand Castleton State their second-straight loss.
Fellow freshman Peter MacIntyre provided all the offense Andrews would need, as he scored his third and fourth goals of the weekend. The freshman left-winger scored twice in the first 12 minutes, to up his season total to a team-high 16 goals on the year. He also recorded his second-straight game-winning goal and is second on the Beacons with three on the season.
The Beacons pair of freshman ruined Senior Day for Castleton State, as UMass Boston defeated the Spartans in Vermont for the first time since February 2005.
Senior forward Josh Harris scored Castleton's lone tally, as the Spartans celebrated the six members of their senior class in front of a crowd of almost 400.
Junior goaltender Erick Cinotti picked up the loss, despite making 21 saves on 23 shots.
MacIntyre put the Beacons ahead 1-0 at the 8:04 mark, when he took a pass from Cam Harvey (Bow, N.H.) and rammed it home. Harvey assisted on both goals in the game and sits seconds amongst Beacons defenseman with nine points.
Less than three minutes later MacIntyre made it 2-0, when he took passes from Harvey and Frankie DeAugustine (Pittsburgh, Pa.) and found the back of the net.
Harris gave the Spartans life two minutes later with his 13th goal of the season, but it was all Castleton State could muster against the Beacons.
Despite outshooting the Beacons 33-23 and earning five more power-play opportunities, Castleton State couldn't solve Andrews.
The Beacons goalie and defense killed off four Castleton power-play chances in the second and one more late in the third, to tie their season-long unbeaten streak at eight games.
UMass Boston will return to action Friday when they travel to Gorham, Maine for a 7:00 p.m. tilt against the University of Southern Maine.

Today I'm talking lips. Out here in the desert it's dry (I know, big surprise). The lips seem to be the first thing to go when you come here from humid parts of the country. The skin on your lips can get destroyed quickly. A few hours out in the wind can leave them dry and chapped for days. I've learned that being a little proactive has helped prevent my lips from going from luscious to cracked and peeling!
Molly's Rules for Lip Care
1. If I'm going to be outside for more than a few minutes I make sure I have a balm covering my lips. This covers the skin with a nice barrier to protect it from the wind and sun.
2. After I brush my teeth I apply lip balm and if my lips feel even the least bit dry I apply a bit of honey on them before bed. Honey acts as a humectant (a substance that attracts and retains moisture) -when I wake up my lips are revived and they taste awfully sweet 😉 .
Honey Lip Balm
I've made a great lip balm recipe that's works better than my Burt's Bees lip balm.
The recipe yields 1/2 ounce. Just enough to put inside the lid of a bottle. I use a top from an old spice bottle.
- 3 teaspoons grated unbleached beeswax ( Know your source, you don't want any chemicals in there!)
- 5 teaspoons carrier oil (I use jojoba but some other options are sunflower or castor)
- 1/2 tsp Vitamin E
- 1 teaspoon honey
For glossier lip balm, use 2 teaspoons wax and 8 teaspoons carrier oil.
Blending Procedure:
1. Melt the beeswax and carrier oil together in the top of a double boiler or a melting pot like you see in the photo below.
2. Stir the beeswax and oil together and remove from heat.
3. Add honey and Vitamin E. Mix thoroughly so the honey does not clump.
4. Pour into your balm holder.
- Let sit 20 minutes before covering or moving.

(Perhaps now my favorite #86 will change the spelling of his name to Heinz....)
I'm convinced that my knitting had something to do with this victory -- it seemed to work during the AFC Championship game, after all. I picked up my Jaywalkers sometime during the second quarter and had only a few rows left on the toes when the game ended, at which point I was very excited and thought it might be a good idea to put down my very sharp dpn's. Ten minutes of lunchtime knitting today, and here you have it:
Pattern: Jaywalker by Grumperina
Yarn: KnitPicks Sock Landscape (100% merino) in Cape Cod colorway
Needles: US 2 Inox aluminum dpn's
Mods: None, just knitted the larger size ('cause I have such big feet). You can't really see it here, but my tension was a lot tighter in the second sock. I think I was still worried about that freakish won't-fit-over-my-heel moment in my first attempt at these (granted, it was caused by my not following the pattern!) and knit the first sock a little on the looser side. But I absolutely love this pattern, and as soon as finished weaving in the ends on the second sock I cast on for another set. Those, however, will not be seeing my feet for quite some time, since they will be cast eagerly aside in favor of Blanche-Neige in only four days!

Candace Davison, research and education specialist and supervisor of reactor operations at the Penn State Radiation Science and Engineering Center, was recognized by American Nuclear Society (ANS) President Joe Colvin for her leadership role as chair of the ANS Public Information Committee during the Japan nuclear crisis.
Davison's award reads, "In recognition of her contributions supporting the response to events in Fukushima, Japan, in order to ensure credible nuclear science and technology information was provided to the media, decision makers and general public."
As chair, Davison communicated with ANS members to let them know how they could assist with the response to the Fukushima nuclear event both on a local level and in response to news media and technical challenges. At the Public Information Committee's recommendation to use social media initiatives, the ANS blog (http://ansnuclearcafe.org/) was repurposed to provide information and links on the events in Japan.
"Our committee helped to develop materials used for public information," says Davison. "We members of ANS answered a lot of questions after the accident, including responding to parents and students concerning the Penn State reactor facility."
Davison received her plaque at the ANS meeting in Hollywood, Fla., held June 26-30.

- 4 slices bacon
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 head green cabbage, coarsely chopped
- 1 can corned beef
- Cook the bacon in large pot over medium heat until almost crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside. Melt the butter in the pot with the bacon grease. Add the cabbage, stirring well to coat the cabbage in fat. Add about 1/3 cup water, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cover pot with a lid, and cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the bacon into small pieces.
- Remove the lid from the pot, and scatter chunks of corned beef and chopped bacon over top of the cabbage. Cover and cook until desired doneness. I personally like a little bit of crunch left to the cabbage.
Tip: Cabbage is one of those vegetables that naturally contains water in its leaves. Begin by adding just a small amount of water. As cabbage cooks, if it needs more liquid, then add more water.

The Changes
Getting a character at revered reputation with a given faction qualifies characters on your account to receive double the normal reputation. The character who unlocks the bonus is immediately included for their advancement from revered to exalted, which works out to fully 25% of the old trek from neutral to exalted since the last stage is the longest. Additional characters on your account - supposedly including all servers and all accounts on your Battle.net account, though I'm unclear how this works cross-faction - will see doubled rep for an effective 50% reduction in requirements.
To put the numbers in chart context:
|Change To Rep Gain After 1 Character Hits Revered
|Rep Level
|Current Rep Per Level
|After qualifying
|3000 (~12 quests)
|1500 (x2, ~6 quests)
|6000 (~24 quests)
|3000 (x2, ~12 quests)
|12000 (~48 quests)
|6000 (x2, ~24 quests)
|21000 (~84 quests)
No longer ever required
|10500 (x2, ~41 quests)
Includes 1st character
|Quest estimate assumes 250 rep/quest, not counting bonuses (guild, human racial)
History of the dual role
We've seen Blizzard struggle with this sort of thing since the use of rep grinds became increasingly common in the Burning Crusade. Prior to WoW's first expansion, reputations were used - sparingly - for certain rewards, but these things tended to be specific items you obtained and could skip if you had some other source for comparable/better stuff. In general, it has been accepted that additional characters have to obtain their own gear somehow, and I don't recall that much outcry on the fate that befalls additional characters needing to repeat the same reputation grinds.
WoW's expansions slowly increased the use of reputation to gate things that were less optional - TBC controversially required revered reputation (later lowered to honored) with four separate factions for access to heroic dungeons (which were then required to complete quests for access to raid content). More significantly, WoW's first three expansions pushed the use of daily-quest based soloable rep grinds as a way to gate access to enchantment options for specific armor slots (head, shoulders).
The latter change mattered because - unlike gear that you will eventually replace - the rewards were not skippable. Everyone had to complete the relevant daily quest grind or they would be unable to enchant their gear. Late in the Wrath era - and continuing with Cataclysm, Blizzard decided to make these items account-bound. This alleviated portions of the problem, but you still had to grind each daily quest faction once per account.
Why now?
Blizzard elected to remove head enchants from the game entirely rather than continue this trend and/or re-introducing them elsewhere - high end shoulder enchants are also gone from rep vendors, and are now produced with the Inscription profession. Unfortunately, Blizzard created other issues to replace these.
Pandaria expands Justice and Valor points beyond the traditional group content of past expansions, and Blizzard opted to use rep restrictions to gate access to this gear. In years past, this would have been relatively optional, but the dungeon finder has made item level checks mandatory. This became especially prohibitive for players needing to get multiple characters up to par. Spreading the entry level gear amongst four factions does not seem terribly consistent with the design of removing enchantments from vendors to make them more optional.
On one hand, it seems unlikely that the changes go far further than the immediate problem by accident. The effects on players grinding rep on a single character are significant, at a time when Blizzard was pushing to make the rewards for getting to exalted less significant and more cosmetic. Based on the scope of the fix, perhaps Blizzard felt the length of the rep grind ladder was a deterrent, especially with increased numbers of reps in Pandaria.
That said, it seems counterproductive to reduce the amount of repeatable content in the game for people who like repeating daily quests solely to fix an avoidable issue with gear vendors. Perhaps the daily quest isn't going over as well as Blizzard had hoped, but that too is a weird and potentially troubling circumstance with all of the investment they made in daily quests this expansion.

Start by selecting a few different fabrics. My thought process is to choose one multi-colored print (the large heather bailey floral in this case) to start, and then to draw out coordinating colors from that fabric and select other prints that will complement it.
Fiskars tools are so helpful in cutting fabric and constructing my quilt tops. The 6" x 24" Acrylic Ruler makes it easy to trim my 1/6 yard cuts of fabric down to 5.5 inches wide as needed for the basic blocks of the quilt. Simply fold your fabric in half at the crease mark and the Fiskars ruler will then cover the length of the fabric. Use the 45 mm Comfort Grip Rotary Cutter to make straight edge cuts (through 2 layers at a time) trimming your fabric (for the center blocks in this case) down to 5.5 inches wide.
Then further trim each strip to 5.5 inches square. You will need 36 of these 5.5 inch squares for your quilt.
Next assemble your squares 6 across, 6 down in a large open area, moving squares around until you create a pattern that is pleasing to your eye.
After you decide on a layout for your blocks, go row by row across, pin side-by-side squares together with straight pins and use your sewing machine to stitch each to the next with a straight stitch and ¼ inch inseam.
After each of the six rows are seamed together, press seams on each row flat with an iron – all seams pressed in the same direction. Match a row to the row below using the seam lines as a guide, pin right sides together, and machine stitch using a straight stitch and ¼ inch inseam.
After 36 squares are all joined, press seams that were just sewn all in the same direction. Now you're ready to add the border – which was a chocolate brown polka dot print in my example here. Trim four 5 inch wide strips of fabric (so they will measure 5x44). Match two strips up to either side of your blocked and pieced quilt top, trim so that they measure the length of your already pieced top (this could vary depending on if some of your inseams were slightly "off", so I find it more helpful to just measure at this point and trim to that length). Machine stitch using a ¼ inch inseam.
Next repeat the process with the other two border strips, placing on top and bottom of the in progress quilt top. Trim to fit, and machine stitch using a ¼ inch inseam. Press all border seams in one direction.
Congratulations! Your quilt top is now complete!
Next it's time to layer your quilt, and to create your quilt-sandwich so that it's ready to be basted before actually quilting it. Lay your backing fabric down in an open, flat space (be sure to iron/press backing fabric prior to this step), right side down. Then lay your batting on top – I use a bamboo batting purchased at my local quilt store, but I also love 100% cotton batting such as warm n' natural. After this, lay your quilt top on top of the batting, right side up. Smooth to make sure that there are no wrinkles. It should also be noted that it's a good idea to leave at least 2-3 inches of backing fabric and batting in excess of your quilt top measurements, to account for any possible shifts or bunching during the machine quilting process.
Time to baste your quilt in preparation for machine quilting. I use large "quilters" safety pins for this step. Simply start at the center of your quilt and work your way outward, securing all layers of your quilt-sandwich by using one safety-pin per block and enough on the border to be sure that everything is safe and in place.
In machine quilting the basic design used on this quilt, I thought it would be best to quilt ¼ inch off of each seam, in either direction. I find it helpful to use a walking foot on my sewing machine to do this, and also to roll each side of the quilt up as I'm sewing.
After all quilting is finished, you will need to "square-off" your quilt to prepare it for binding. This is done by sewing around the perimeter of the quilt – approx 1/8 inch inwards.
And then cutting the edge off around the squared-off seams. Be sure though to leave enough "extra" edge to fill your binding. Usually ¼ - 1/3 inch is sufficient.
Create your binding: Cut five 2.5 inch wide by 44 inch length strips from the fabric that you'd like to bind your quilt with. Use the 6" x 24" Acrylic Ruler and 45 mm Comfort Grip Rotary Cutter with 18 Inch x 24 Inch Mat to do this. After all strips are cut, machine stitch each together at right angles, with a diagonal straight stitch from corner to corner – as shown here:
Use Razor Edged No 8 Bent Scissors to trim extra little "triangle" off as shown here:
Repeat until all five strips are sewn together, and then unfold to create one continuous binding strip.
Use your iron to press to crease binding strip, folding in half lengthwise.
Use straight pins to pin binding on top side of quilt, rough side outward, folded side inward toward middle of quilt. Make sure to leave about a 8 inch tail (hanging off quilt, unpinned) at the point where you start pinning.
When you get to a corner, make a little upwards folded triangle as shown here:
Place pin in upwards triangle, and on either side. After you go around the entire quilt, you will need to "join" strips. Fold left side strip down and trim as shown.
Lay right side binding strip inside of folded strip piece as shown.
Pin to secure.
Machine stitch (again the walking foot works best for this!) around edge of binding, about ¼ inch away from rough edge. When you get to a corner, backstitch a bit to secure, then lift sewing foot, turn quilt, lower foot and start stitching that side of quilt.
Fold binding over to backside of quilt, pin in place, and use a small sharp needle and thread to hand stitch binding to back of quilt.
Use a thread that coordinates with your binding, and make the bulk (length) of your stitches through the interior of the quilt – so that stitches appear invisible. I find No. 5 Micro-Tip® Scissors to be handy during the stitching and binding process. And when the binding is complete, you will have a beautiful and finished baby quilt completed all on your own!
It's so much fun to modify patterns and search the web for quilting inspiration to create your own quilt designs. While I continue to learn more about quilting, and to find tips and tricks that work for me with each quilt that I create, one thing remains constant in the process: the Fiskars tools that help me to assemble each quilt that I make!

Recently, in chat, someone pointed out that there are fewer female than male Atheists. That prompted a comment on sexual differentiation of intelligence. I suggest that most women make the best choice for themselves and their children by opting for an 'outlook' that is not confrontational with family.
In other words, I feel that most women care less about whether or not there is a god than they do about whether or not they can maintain a harmonious relationship with their extended family. In such a situation, what benefit would there be to adopting an Atheist stance - either psychologically or inter-personally?

Once you've had children, you live 7 days a week for someone else - not just Sunday. What happens when you are ill, what happens after you get divorced? Even when it comes time for your kids to go to college - how many relatives might have a spare room in a University town?
Oh, but fuck the kids, right? We gotta be our 'true' selves. It's not like we're just internet personalities - right?
And you wonder why you don't get a shred of support.
stronger knees. :-)
For centuries women have been "under control" and objectified. It's turning around in some countries to the point of a man is just the idiot holding a BBQ Spatula or fucking up a plumbing job. Cultures are now at extreme opposition on such matters and the world has become explosive as a result.
What one thinks and what one projects to others is often not the same. To avoid family conflict it is often best just to adopt an attitude of "I don't know, what do you think?" Personally I have shed that approach and decided confrontation is more productive in this age of pushy theocrats.
Heather I think I agree with you. My wife is ambivalent toward religion, she is probably closer to agnostic than atheist. She knows my (definite!) views but has no interest in discussing them with me. I think she believes 'there must be something' as in 'how can all those millions of people be wrong for thousands of years'? She says that if people want to believe in god, let them.
When we were looking for senior schools for my children my extremely clever and academically gifted daughter was only ever going to go to the Girl's Grammar School, however my son is the polar opposite to her and did not pass the entrance exam to the Boy's Grammar School. The rest of the schools in our area are not good, with one of the local faith schools (church of England) being the best of a bad bunch at the time.
For entry into the school a letter was required from the local vicar stating that the family were regular church goers and should be considered for entry. My wife took my children to church at least twice a month for almost a year in order to be able to obtain a letter and apply to the school. I could not be a hypocrite and went cycling and my daughter stopped going because she hated the conflicting and impossible trash of the sermons' contents. She wanted to stand up and scream at the congregation to get a real education! (She is now in her final year of university studying for a degree in history.)
I recently ordered a couple of sheets of 'atheist' self adhesive labels for my car, bikes, laptop, etc. My wife got quite angry, asking why I had to foist my 'beliefs' on other people. What ensued was quite an interesting conversation that I will not go into here but I had to use all my powers of persuasion to convince her that it was right for me to support atheism.
In brief I think that there are several reasons why there are fewer women atheists:
Not an extensive list, I am sure there are other reasons, such as religion itself discouraging women from thinking freely, and enforced by religious men.
@Alan - Yes, well I think your first and last points are the most pertinent. I suppose a lot of Atheists here can't imagine 'not thinking about it' or 'not thinking it through', but we have thousands of issues in our lives that we likely never give much consideration. That being said, if you are going to be a science/engineering sort, you likely find it necessary to think though a lot of things. Superstitions can't hold up long when you make your living on evidence/results.
The better question is why would a woman not be confrontational in this day and age? Especially when women are striving for equality. I think it would be beneficial for women to stand up and confront others about their beliefs rather just be like "well I don't know and I don't really care, I have important things to do".
Part of being a rational or free thinker is your own self identity. I think women should definitely stand up and express their feelings and thoughts about who they are rather than taking a passive approach to it. I think in terms of equality in society and role of women, it would be better for women to be confrontational in situations like these.
I think for most women like the way we hide intellect we hide being atheist. There is a social pressure to be pretty decorations when we are young. WE get told by media from childhood what the perfect woman is. she is pretty, caring and dependent on the mythical prince. In school we are pushed to sidelines on education. we show intellect we are called nerd or worse.
Being atheist requires us to accept all aspects of ourselves. Its okay to be smart and ask questions. It means that we let go of the conditioned emotional responses to apply logic. Add nature made sure to make us emotional by design, It becomes a bit harder to fight the emotion versus logic.
Things are getting better slowly girls are encouraged to think. As time moves on women will ask the questions that eventually will lead them to atheism.For now though society makes being different in any way very difficult. . Its going to take time. In the atheist community I have found most men to be accepting of women however there are those who do tell us we don't belong. So even once we make the leap to atheism we still have to deal with varying degrees of sexism.
I would say I was fully Atheist by my early 20's. That being said, I had no reason to bring it up. I never 'came out' as Atheist until I happened to move to a small town full of people who were very religious and very weird. Quite frankly, they creeped me out, and they only way to express why was to tell them that I found their beliefs and idiosyncrasies really bizarre. That was when I came to identify as Atheist - in contrast to an incredibly religious, old fashioned environment. That is also when I happened to join this site.
I was recently told that I was "such an Atheist all the time!!"
That's ok Reg, part-time atheists don't get full benefits.

Don't let your friends convince you the factory bumper is fine on your Jeep. It's not. You ever see one after a collision? It's about as useful as a dead battery. Which is why we offer so many fantastic aftermarket versions like strong, but lightweight, Jeep full-width bumper and mid-width bumper types, or more serious modular versions. Some bumpers have recovery options like integrated winch mounts, d-rings and tow hooks. There are even grille guard options that fit over your existing bumper and protect the vehicle's face. All of this gives you the freedom to go anywhere and take on whatever the road brings.
Plastic. It's great for grocery bags as long as you recycle. But for bumpers? Well, not so much. Yet that is exactly the material you have with the factory rear bumper on your Jeep and why bumpers are one of the first things people modify. Aftermarket rear bumpers provide strength, durability, hitches for towing, and tire carrier options for heavier spare tires. These bumper will all help prevent damage to your vehicle and ensure you get home safely.

April 22, 2009
Atlanta, GA – Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life and niece
of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said today that among the many flaws with the
recent Department of Homeland Security domestic terrorism memo is its illogical
attempt to link pro-lifers with hate groups.
"Abortion is the white supremacist's best friend," said Dr. King. "It eliminates
black babies at much higher rates than white babies. Disproportionately more
abortions among African American women mean they suffer physical and emotional
trauma in greater percentages than others. To say, as the Department of Homeland
Security does, that white supremacists have exercised a 'longstanding
exploitation of social issues such as abortion' tells me that either the
government, the supremacists, or both are clueless about abortion's grave impact
on the black community."
"The DHS memo is just plain wrong and incredibly offensive on many levels,"
added Dr. King, "none more so than in its attempt to link pro-lifers with hate
groups. Janet Napolitano has apologized to veterans for her memo's
characterizations of them, now she needs to do the same for her smears against
those of us who want all Americans, including the unborn, protected."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization
dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit

Oh, you are so good at this . . . relating your processes . . .I keep telling myself I need to do that . . . record how I come up with what I come up with . . . for those that come after . . . please do keep on keeping on . . . so it will keep reminding me . . .ReplyDelete
Thanks, Vickie! I'm glad you could follow my thought processes because I'm good at confusing myself sometimes. I love the "how" part. Don't get me wrong I love the end result, but I love the challenge of figuring it out. Can you tell I like to watch forensic/detective shows?ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by!
Caroline, Glad I could help even in such as small way! And I agree with Vickie, your blog posts are wonderful! Keep up it up!ReplyDelete
Hurray! So glad you have found an avenue to continue your search. All I can think is, "Galveston, oh Galveston..." I always loved visiting there when my Mom lived there, and later on Bolivar. From what I could see on the satellite photos, nothing on Bolivar survived Ike. I am glad my Mom had already died, it would have killed her to see the storm coverage.ReplyDelete
Wonderful post!ReplyDelete
