This is a great technique to increase the size of an old or new sweater.
You will need a sweater, a shirt that is longer than the sweater, scissors, pins and sewing machine.
Shirt and Sweater
Cut the button up panel from the shirt, leaving an over lap on each side for sewing
Cut the sweater down the centre
Sew up the button edge so it does not flare open, leave a small bit un sewed at the bottom for some flare
Attach the button flap from the bottom of the sweater and up wards with some pins, then sew into place.
Pin the other side into place from the bottom to the top of the sweater, have a check to see if it is even with the other side, then sew into place
The striped pattern makes gives you a nice straight line to sew on
Fix up the collar how you would like it to sit, finished :)
Want to add more of the shirt to your sweater?
Use the pockets or cuffs for a more dramatic look.
Would you like to see more idea's using a similar method with felted sweaters?

FREEDownload : Novel Methods in Soft Matter Simulations
Novel Methods in Soft Matter Simulations
English | Physics, Mechanics | 15. March 2004 | ISBN-10: 3540209166 | 393 pages | Djvu | 3 mb
Soft matter and biological systems pose many challenges for theoretical, experimental and computational research.
Novel Methods in Soft Matter Simulations
From the computational point of view, these many-body sytems cover variations in relevant time and length scales over many orders of magnitude. Indeed, the macroscopic properties of materials and complex fluids are ultimately to be deduced from the dynamics of the microsopic, molecular level. In these lectures, internationally renowned experts offer a tutorial presentation of novel approaches for bridging these space and time scales in realistic simulations. This volume addresses graduate students and nonspecialist researchers from related areas seeking a high-level but accessible introduction to the state of the art in soft matter simulations.

Your buffer management strategy will be completely different > between async i/o and event driven i/o and I am not sure how APR (or > applications that use APR) can be made to support both cleanly. One thought on the buffer management issue... rather than managing buffers, we manage 'i/o objects' that contain references to network i/o buffers (among other things). These i/o objects have their own scope and lifetime. When an i/o is issued and it does not complete immediately, we place the i/o object into a container, searchable by a key. The application should not reference the i/o object further once it is in the container. I know IOCPs enable passing a key on the i/o call that the kernel will return on the IOCP notification. I am sure something similar is available on Unix. When an app receives notification that io is complete (or can be done with the expectation that it will complete), we find the i/o object in the container, and issue read passing the i/o object on the call. Under the covers, the read on windows just returns the buffer in the i/o object. On unix, the read is issued to fetch the bytes from the kernel. The buffer management is hidden in the i/o object.

Not everyone can go to the gym for a full workout without looking like a total slob, though I know we all wish we could. Here are a few ways to beat the sweat and look like a beauty while you're working out.
1. Wash your face - It's really important that you wash your face before and after you go to the gym to prevent your pores from clogging up which will cause acne.
2. Don't wear foundation - Sweat and heavy layers of makeup won't do anything good for you. Not only will it just melt off of your face and make you look ridiculous in the moment, but it can also clog your pores and cause breakouts that could last a lot longer.
3. Do wear mascara - No one wants to look dead, even if they're working out. Just put on some mascara and don't worry about anything else, so you can look awake.
4. Put your hair in a ponytail - Don't bother spending an hour to fix your hair if you're going to the gym for a real work out. Just pull it up into a cute ponytail to keep it out of your face and off your back. I promise you'll look more ridiculous with your hair flowing in the fan on the treadmill.
5. Find a good sports bra - Depending on what workouts you're doing a sports bra is really necessary for support and to keep everything from bouncing all over the place. Find a good, supportive sports bra. I like bright colored ones that look pretty even when you're not wearing a shirt over them.
6. Wear the right gym clothes - The easiest way to stay comfortable is to wear a loose tee shirt. If you wear a shirt that's right under your armpits then you're more likely to get sweat stains there which no one wants when they're trying not to care what they look like. I wear muscle shirts that I cut up myself to the gym because they look good and they're perfect for the occasion.
7. Use the right antiperspirant - Find a deodorant that works well for your body and keeps you from sweating a lot. It'll make you feel a lot better.
8. Stick to simple to no jewelry - If you're going to wear any kind of jewelry to the gym stick to something that you absolutely never take off like that necklace your mom gave you when you were little or your engagement ring or maybe some stud earrings. Don't wear giant hoops. It's unnecessary.
9. Drink water - Drinking water is just good for your beauty in general. Your hair, your skin, your nails! But it's also important to stay hydrated when you're doing anything physical.
10. Don't care about anyone else there - You're there to take care of yourself so screw everyone else! It's not important what they think. Just worry about yourself.

GDC09; LittleBigPlanet "halfway through†development
Speaking to journalists at GDC, LittleBigPlanet creators Mark Healey and Alex Evans from Media Molecule discussed the current status of the game and the continuing development of the BAFTA award-winning title.
First off, they revealed that LBP is in fact only halfway through development with their focus now on the creation side of the game:
We still feel like we're halfway through the development of LittleBigPlanet, to be honest… That's the least finished part of the game, which both excites and terrifies me.
The team further discusses the transformation that the game has taken, in particular, the way players create levels.
The previous approach to creating your very own level involved using paint brushes and even shotguns to delete stuff using your Sackboy:
We originally wanted to have no distinction between creation and gameplay at all… But when we decided we wanted to make a full game creation tool, we realised there was no way anybody would want to do that in that interface.
For more information of how LittleBigPlanet will evolve from a "create" perspective we recommend reading the article in full over at Eurogamer.

Music Lyrics
Bass and Guitar Tabs
and More...
i'm so lonely
you're so beautiful
not the only
one that's pitiful
scratched and torn i lay here in pieces
craving all of your deadly vices
like to think that i'm not addicted
but i guess i wear it well
and i crawl
while you spit
and i crawl
through you
here i am now
not a lot has changed
nothing' better
everything's the same
late at night i can hear your voices
talking shit about all my choices
you would think you've known me forever
just because you know my name
and i crawl
while you spit
and i crawl
through you
everything falls apart
everything... [3x]
everything falls apart
everything [3x]
and i crawl
while you spit
and i crawl

Having a tattoo that you regret on your body is a constant reminder of a decision that you wish you would have never made. It may remind you of someone who you are no longer with, it may remind you of an idea you used to believe in or it may remind you of an affiliation you used to have with an organization or a gang that you no longer associate with. Thankfully, you can make your unwanted ink a distant memory with laser tattoo removal.
The more you learn about laser tattoo removal, the more satisfied you will be with the results that you get when you come to our office for treatment. The first thing that you need to understand is that you are not going to see your tattoo disappear after just one treatment. It is going to take a series of multiple treatments and several months for your tattoo to fade and eventually disappear.
So, how does laser tattoo removal work? The energy from the laser is directed at the ink, and it shatters it. The shattered ink is going to be removed from your body through the body's natural waste removal process. Once the ink is shattered, more blood will be sent to the area, and the ink particles will eventually be taken away naturally.
The results vary from client to client based on a variety of factors, such as the location of the tattoo. For example, the closer that your unwanted tattoo is located to your heart, the better. This is due to circulation reasons.
One of the great things about laser tattoo removal is the convenience of the treatments. Although multiple treatment sessions are required, virtually no downtime is involved. This makes the treatments suitable for clients with busy schedules and lifestyles.
If you regret getting your tattoo, you no longer have to live with it for the rest of your life. In fact, if you start laser tattoo removal as soon as possible, it will not be very long before your tattoo is a distant memory. You are no longer going to have to remember that person, organization or idea that you were once associated with and no longer want to be a part of.
With offices in Coral Springs and Sunrise, Dermatology Consultants of South Florida wants to help you get rid of your unwanted tattoo. Contact us today to schedule a consultation to learn more information about laser tattoo removal!

Bardem calls the Spanish 'a bunch of stupid people'
09.9.2008 | By Mack Chico | No Comments">No Comments
Oscar winner Javier Bardem sat down recently with The New York Times for this exlusive interview touching upon fame, the Oscar and how he feels about his country.
At the Oscars last February, you won Best Supporting Actor for your portrayal of the ultimate bad guy, Anton Chigurh, in ''No Country for Old Men,'' directed by the Coen brothers. Now you are starring as the ultimate ladies' man in Woody Allen's ''Vicky Cristina Barcelona.'' Which is the more difficult role to play?
This is the first time in 20 years that I'm playing a leading man in a romantic comedy. It was a conscious decision: in my early career I waited for more complex roles to come, knowing that they might not ever come. The complexity of Chigurh was a kind of dream — the Coen brothers are my favorite directors of all time. On that movie, I was the only foreigner. And Chigurh really comes out of nowhere, which helped with the character, but it was a little isolating. In ''Vicky Cristina,'' I'm with these three beauties. I was afraid no one in the audience would believe they'd ever be with me. I was in the makeup trailer saying, ''You better work a miracle.''
How deeply do you imagine your characters before you play them?
I want to understand everything about that mind. With Chigurh, I saw him as a man with a mission that was beyond his control. Someone chose his fate for him. I thought of him as a man who never had sex. He doesn't like human fluids, even his own. [Pauses] I don't want to get into too many details, but I even imagined how Chigurh would masturbate. For the Woody Allen movie, I don't have to imagine such things because the character is very sexual, but for Chigurh, it was important to think about how he relates to other people, even sexually. So, I think he will masturbate once per month in the dark and with a pillow. Very clean.
You grew up in Madrid, loving American as well as Spanish films.
That's true: I don't believe in God, but I believe in Al Pacino. The other day I was watching ''Dog Day Afternoon'' again, and I see a man who is so true, so interesting and I understand more about the world from his performance. And you go, ''C'mon, it's only acting.'' Well, wouldn't you say that a good book or a good painting allows you to see the world in a different way? When I see a great performance, I feel more alive.
Did you always feel this drawn to movies?
I started my career early. When I was 6, my mother, who is a well-known actress in Spain, cast me in a movie for television. It was a little moment where a guy puts a gun to my head and I have to laugh, but when I laugh, I'm also supposed to cry. I liked it immediately. When I was 13, I did theater for two months. Actually, I think my very first time onstage was when I was an altar boy. You have your moment there — it's just Christ and you. [Laughs] As a kid, I felt happy onstage, but beforehand I would think, What am I doing here? I should be in the playground with my friends. I'm the same today: we actors are lazy. I like to take a year off between films. Some actors need to work for the money, but money is not a priority for me. I don't have the need for a lot of cars or houses. Since I am a tomato in the market, I have a price. They have to pay the price, but money is not my biggest priority.
In Spain, they often are judgmental about their actors finding success in America. After you won the Oscar, how were you treated back home?
The Spanish are tough. They criticize my work and say I sold out. You want to say, ''Stop it — you're a bunch of stupid people.'' But you are never going to be liked by everybody. After the Oscars, I came back to Madrid, where I live. I wanted to get back to the real world. After something like the awards, you've changed a little bit, but everyone around you has changed tremendously. You have to bring them back — you have to show that you are the same stupid, limited guy and not this kind of golden boy.
Are you receiving lots of scripts where you would play a villain?
No more bad boys. But I don't see Chigurh as evil. You don't have to like the characters you play, but you have to understand them and you must always defend them. Every actor wants to get to a point where you allow yourself to be taken by somebody else. That is the pleasure of it.
In ''Vicky Cristina,'' you have scenes with Penélope Cruz in Spanish. Does Woody Allen speak Spanish?
He told us what he wanted us to say and then we improvised, and after a while he'd say, ''Cut.'' We'd say, ''Do you like it?'' And he'd say, ''I don't know. I guess so.'' It would be as if I was acting in Chinese — how would I know if I was good or not?
How has fame changed your life?
Mostly, it's the same. I put on a hat and dark glasses and I can walk anywhere. But there are still questions which invade your privacy. I don't really know why people need to know personal details about other people's lives. It's out of control. For a lot of people, the press is now the enemy.
Chigurh represented a departure for you — you famously told the Coens that you would happily take the part even though you hate violence, had never fired a gun and were uncomfortable speaking English.
And I don't drive a car! They weren't concerned. When you act, you learn things. Before ''No Country,'' I had never held a gun and now I can drive a car. When I was doing Chigurh, my English became so good that I was dreaming in English. Actors don't learn because they want to know — we learn because we have to learn. I wish I would play a cook, so I could learn to make something worth eating.
You play a painter in ''Vicky Cristina.'' Did you have to learn to paint?
No, from the ages of 19 to 23, I studied painting. Initially, I worked as an extra in movies to get money to keep painting. Now I paint very secretly. Before playing this part, I asked Julian Schnabel [who directed Bardem in ''Before Night Falls''] if he feels fear when he faces a blank canvas. He said, ''Fear of what?'' [Laughs] That was the character!

Herbie the Mousebot Kit
I have long associated the name Herbie with Disney's Volkswagen movie that is a cult classic, but here we are with something from Thinkgeek that has been updated to meet the requirements of the 21st century – it is the $44.99 Herbie the Mousebot Kit that we are talking about right here. Just like a normal flesh-and-bone mouse, Herbie the Mousebot Kit, too, needs some form of sustenance to work. Good thing all you need to feed him is light, and watch him go!
After all, Herbie loves nothing better than a spot of bright light and will chase after it, putting Garfield and other fat cats to shame. This is one unique DIY kit that you can introduce to budding scientists in your home to explore light and the world of robots. There are also other option parts let which enables more than a single, lonely Herbie to play with one another.

Hi, I'm Al Ritt. I've fished as long as I can remember and have been fascinated with flies almost as long. Growing up in southern Michigan I fished primarily for warm water species, but remember feeling magic in trout and trout flies. I recall in grade school making "flies" including forming my own "hooks" out of pipe cleaners. I took my first formal tying class in 1983 after moving to California. Since then I've tied flies and fly fished for trout, grayling, bass, pike, panfish, catfish, carp, steelhead, salmon, bonefish, permit, snook, tarpon, redfish and other species.
Currently I co-own and operate Al Ritt Flies along with my Wife Diana. I am a fly tying instructor and a destination travel host. As Brand Manager for PEAK Fishing, a manufacturer of premium quality fly tying vises and equipment and bamboo rod making planing forms and tools, my duties entail sales/marketing, product development and customer service.
Some of my other activities in the fishing industry include:
- I authored the book 25 Best Most Versatile Flies (Stonefly Press)
- I am Fly Tying Editor for Fly Fusion Magazine and Department Editor for Fly Fishing & Tying Journal
- I have written articles for Fly Fusion, Fly Fishing and Tying Journal, Fly Tyer and Hatches Magazines
- I have hosted domestic and international destination fishing adventures in Colorado, Oregon, Alaska, Mexico and Belize
- I was profiled in Colorado Trout Flies; Great Patterns and the Remarkable People Who Tie Them by Todd Hosman (Streamside Press), The Master's Fly Box by David Klausmeyer (Globe Pequot) and contributed tips for Better Flies Faster by David Klausmeyer (Stackpole Books)
- I am a fly designer for Montana Fly Company
I am currently a member of The Outdoor Writers Association of America, Trout Unlimited, a life member of the International Federation of Fly Fishers and a life member the IFFF Fly Tying Group, A member of the Catskill Fly Tyer's Guild and The Fly Dressers Guild.
I regularly appear as a demonstration tier at numerous fly shops and expos including The Fly Fishing Show in Denver CO, Somerset NJ, Lynnwood WA and Pleasanton CA, The International Fly Tyer's Symposium in Somerset NJ, the International Sportsman's Expo in Denver CO, the IFFF Annual Fly Fishing Fair in Loveland CO, West Yellowstone MT and Spokane WA, New Mexico TU Fly Tying Expo in Albuquerque NM, East Idaho IFFF Fly Tying Expo in Idaho Falls ID, Black Canyon Fly Fishing Show in Montrose CO, Western Colorado Fly Tying Expo in Grand Junction CO, West Denver TU Fly Tying Expo in Golden CO, IFFF Southern Council Conclave in Mountain Home AR and the Midwest Fly Fishing Expo in Warren MI.
I am privileged to serve as a pro-team member with Partridge Hooks as well as PEAK Fishing, Whiting Farms, Pro Sportfisher, Performance Flies, Flymen Fishing Company, Semperfli and Loop USA.

The Ministry of Interior has launched a considerable plan primarily aiming at maintaining social and family links and easing out the psychological pain of prison inmates.
The ministry's scheme, dubbed as "Family House", is part of the humanitarian attitude pursued by the Humanitarian Leader, His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
By adopting this correctional and humanitarian initiative, the ministry seeks to link inmates with their families and society and to encourage them to exercise appropriate behaviors and to soften their feelings of social isolation.
The "Family House" is compliant with the principles of the tolerant Islamic Sharia', international values, charters and conventions, and world agencies' recommendations for inmate human rights.
The scheme provides prison residential units with full living and entertainment services for inmates to spend up to 72 hours with their spouses, children, parents, brothers and sisters. However, inmates can gain access to this new scheme only should they commit themselves to good behaviors, discipline and regulations.
Run by an integrated team of academics, social workers and psychiatrists, the fresh prison system is intended to provide appropriate rehabilitation and correction to all inmates so that they could effectively contribute to societal development. In this context, Assistant Undersecretary for Correctional Institutions and Prisons at the Ministry of Interior Major-General Khalid Al-Deen said the "Family House" mainly aimed at the rehabilitation and correction of inmates so that they could become good individuals who can serve their own society.
Speaking to KUNA, he said over 3,000 inmates in Kuwaiti prisons, including 130 females, can enjoy new prison services purposed to maintain inmates' family and social links in appropriate residential units.
He added that this scheme would certainly provide inmates with an atmosphere of psychological and social reassurance and stability just as part of correction measures.
The senior security official went on to say that the plan would also spur inmates to improve their behaviors, give up past negativities, observe prison instructions and join various correctional programs involving vocational, educational, cultural and religious ones.
Also speaking to KUNA, Dr. Khaled Al-Atrash, a family expert and psychiatrist, said that inmates should not be subject to social isolation since serving prison terms should be meant to rehabilitate them and groom them for better future. He said that in this regard, the "Family House" is a good step in the right direction for maintaining inmates' social and family links and relationships.
Asked about this experiment, a number of inmates hailed the initiative as giving them the hope to get back to the right path and to re-communicate with their family members in a healthy atmosphere aiming at alleviating their imprisonment woes and sufferings.
They appreciated the Ministry of Interior's scheme as having great psychological and social reflections on their prison lives.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Posted in Press Releases on 06 December 2011
Of Montreal is thrilled to announce release details for brand new album 'Paralytic Stalks', available 6th February in the UK, worldwide 7th February via Polyvinyl Records. The album will also be released via partnerships with Contrarede Records in Japan and with Baram Records in Korea. 'Paralytic Stalks' was written, performed, engineered, and produced by Kevin Barnes at his own Sunlandic Studios in Athens, GA; and mixed at Chase Park Transduction with the assistance of engineer Drew Vandenberg (Deerhunter, Toro y Moi).
How do you approach an album as tantalizingly complex as 'Paralytic Stalks'? You could begin from a lyrical perspective and appraise the occasion it provides for an unobstructed view directly into the psyche of Kevin Barnes, of Montreal's principal songwriter. But be prepared -- this is not Barnes filtered through the lens of an adopted persona or invented alter ego. Rather, these are confessions of an infinitely more personal nature than anything he's written since 2007's 'Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?'
'Paralytic Stalks' is a stimulating array of densely packed ideas presented with stunning agility. Never before has an of Montreal record moved so fluidly from one song to the next -- each track feeding off the last in what seems a singular album-long movement that never allows you to rip your ears away.
After the addition of classically trained violinist Kishi Bashi to of Montreal's touring line-up, Barnes embraced the idea of working with session musicians (many of whom were Kishi Bashi's friends) for the first time in his career. During this period, Barnes forged a special connection with Zachary Cowell, a session musician who subsequently arranged all of the album's brass and woodwind parts (and is now the band's newest member). The experience also emboldened Barnes to venture into previously unexplored territory with his songwriting.
As a result, 'Paralytic Stalks' at times resembles modern classical with its intricate compositions, while at others echoes of neo-prog, pseudo-country, and 60s pop can be heard. Examples of these new elements abound throughout the record, notably on 'Wintered Debts', which witnesses its hushed vocal and acoustic guitar intro giving way to a country shuffle replete with pedal steel guitar, as well as the flute-driven, ELO-inspired single "Dour Percentage."
of Montreal offered fans a sneak peek of 'Paralytic Stalks' by posting the 7+ minute album track 'Wintered Debts' on their website. The track earned notices and raves from the likes of SPIN.com, Stereogum, Pitchfork, BLURT, New York, NME, Exclaim, Paste, MTV Hive, Nylon (for Guys), Under The Radar, Consequence of Sound, You Aint No Picasso, Prefix, We Listen For You, The Needle Drop, Pretty Much Amazing and more. Within a week of its debut, 'Wintered Debts' hit #1 on the Elbo.ws Hot Tracks chart.
Spin.com says of 'Wintered Debts', "Once little more than Kevin Barnes' lo-fi solo project, the Athens, Georgia band has glammed out to become one of the most extravagant live acts in not only indie rock, but all of pop music. And yet the group can still throw a seven-minute, all-over-the-place orchestral-pop number called 'Wintered Debts' up on its website, with no explanation. It's an impressive one, jumping from unplugged confessional to atonal weirdness and then back to sunny '60s-style psych-pop, all while still taking aim at fake idols."
Track listing
1. 'Gelid Ascent'
2. 'Spiteful Intervention'
3. 'Dour Percentage'
4. 'We Will Commit Wolf Murder'
5. 'Malefic Dowery'
6. 'Ye, Renew The Plaintiff'
7. 'Wintered Debts'
8. 'Exorcismic Breeding Knife'
9. 'Authentic Pyrrhic Remission'

|Hampshire College - Amherst, Massachusetts
Hampshire college conducted a national search to select a planning team to assist them in developing an innovative sustainable campus plan and planning process. We assembled a team including energy consultants, development experts, landscape architects, and other architects with collegiate experience. Our team has worked with the college to integrate visionary goals, a community based planning process, and ongoing operational measures to begin to alter how the college functions in all of its endeavors. While the campus is not large, the campus feels dispersed and isolated. Our plans recommend generating a vibrant core in the center with student activity areas oriented toward a central green, covered walkways for easier walking in inclement weather, and academic programs, administration, and admission functions relocated for improved interaction.
Phased building improvement master plans are proposed for all buildings so that increment improvements will support environmental goals on an ongoing basis. We have worked to establish a participatory plan process so that environmental design becomes integrated through academic and operational activity.

National Library Week 2008
By Elaine Pearson
This is my display to link in with National Library Week's theme - What's Your Story? Once again, it is simple and cheap to produce!!
Aren't there some amazing biographies around?
'A Boy Called It' has been in our top five issues for the past four years running. Students of all levels and abilities devour it. They always recommend it to their friends and always ask for more like it. I have bought a few others - I select carefully, only purchasing those which end with hope. This one was recommended by a student and has been on issue ever since I bought it:
We have two competitions running this week, one where the students have to match photographs of our prefects to pictures of their favourite books, this has been popular with all the students who have been suprised and inspired by some of the senior readers choices.
The second competition was a little harder and involved cryptic clues to the identity of a character from a book. It has been a good challenge for the students who read widely.

But here's a funny side effect of our having averted the imminent extinction of the largest flying bird in North America: we killed off every last Colpocephalum californici—condor louse—when the birds were treated for parasites. Without much (or really, any) thought, we caused the louse to go extinct.
So what? That's exactly what scientists and others are grappling with--the question of which species we should try to save, and what are the effects of choosing not to save a species—or choosing to exterminate it.
Here are a few schools of thought in the we-should-save-them camp (pick yours):
~ intrinsic right to exist (just like tigers, whales and other "charismatic megafauna")
~ parasites may play an important role in the immune systems of their hosts (they co-evolved together and parasites may influence population numbers)
~ study of parasites can teach us important info about their hosts (bacteria helped trace human migration; whale "lice" revealed info about right whale populations)
~ potential to provide some value to humans (medicines yet to be discovered)
~ parasites may play important roles within the ecological community (As Murr Brewster's daddy pointed out, mosquitoes are frog food (Monday's nature quote)
Parasites as endangered species. What do you think about that?

The White House on Thursday forced out the embattled head of the Office of Special Counsel, according to several sources.
A White House spokeswoman said Special Counsel Scott Bloch voluntarily resigned during a meeting on Thursday morning. Bloch will be on administrative leave until Dec. 12, which the spokeswoman said is the official end of his five-year term.
The resignation letter Bloch submitted on Monday misstated that his term would end on Jan. 5, 2009, the spokeswoman said.
The White House said William Reukauf, who had been serving as associate special counsel and director of field operations, has been named the acting special counsel and will remain in that role until a permanent replacement is appointed by the next administration.
Reukauf has served as interim special counsel on several occasions, including when the term of Elaine Kaplan ended in 2003 and before Bloch was confirmed by the Senate.
According to the office's Web site, Reukauf joined the legal staff of OSC in January 1983. He was appointed associate special counsel for prosecution in February 1985. In 2001, he became the head of an investigation and prosecution division. He also is in charge of OSC's Alternative Dispute Resolution Program. Bloch is under federal investigation for possible obstruction of justice for destroying computer files sought by investigators in a prior probe into whether he retaliated illegally against whistleblowers in his office.
Dan Friedman of CongressDaily contributed to this report.

Your mother is lucky to live in an area so rich with beautiful birds. I've thought about setting up a bird feeder in my backyard but the last time I tried that, the squirrels kept raiding it. Once they actually took the feeder off it's pole and carried it off about 20 - 30 feet. Guess they were trying to bring it back to their nest, only the feeder got caught on a small bush so they had to abandon it. Cheeky little devils, but oh so clever. LOL

Anu – Great, Looking forward to your pictures!
Mridula – when I took this picture, I was drawn to the way they were sitting facing each other for quite some time. Unfortunately the sun was in the back ground, so I knew the pictures will come darker!
Texturizing is just adding a layer of texture; this was done through Microsoft's very basic program.
My intent was to bring out the silhouettes with the red and white in the wings!
Jeevan –thank you.
Hip Grandma – It seems so. And yes, they are not very big birds.
Almost Precious –that is such a funny story. I am sorry they took your feeder away. Maybe you can try one that hangs from a branch a bit further away from any braches? I am sure if it would work.
I agree, my mom lives in a very bird friendly area, she does have squirrels, but does not have any feeders!
JM thank you, I really like this picture!
Buenos Aires Photoblog- thank you. I thought so too! :)

Spellbound Trilogy:
This is a YA Paranormal series, that I have yet to read. I enjoyed working with Nikki on realizing her concepts for the covers of the books. I focused mainly on ensuring that the contents of the book matched the cover as much as it looked good.
I first started out with eBook Covers then moved to bookmarks and then going off to print covers as shown below. As usual, eBook covers and bookmarks come first then when the Author is ready, Print covers come in! Currently, we only have one bookmark design for the series. These are mainly for giveaways and all that. It was nice when a few got sent over to me as well.
The prints came back looking fantastic, as you can see above. I'm thrilled to have these in my hands. All my hard work and Nikki's were for something grand!
Look out for more covers. I'll be updating with some more.

ABC's "A Fine Romance" calls for actress Margaret Whitton to traipse across Europe with her former husband, but she is switching partners before the journey begins.
In the lighthearted adventure, Whitton and her co-star play a battling divorced couple who find themselves paired up as hosts of a television travel show. It goes into production in November at various location sites in Europe.
But Anthony Andrews, who played Whitton's husband in the pilot, has withdrawn from the series. He reportedly contends that the producer's vision of the show is not the one he had when he made the pilot.
Christopher Cazenove, a British actor who was Blake Carrington's brother in "Dynasty" and most recently starred in the miniseries "Windmills of the Gods," takes over the role. New World TV Group has filed a breach of contract suit in London against Andrews.

Getting ready for the Lincoln High condo tower
They're shrinking the Portland Airport "urban renewal" district to make way for the massive new district that's going to suck up Northwest Portland, Goose Hollow and more land down toward Portland State. You know the drill -- divert the property taxes to Homer, Edlen, Hoffman, Walsh, the Usual Suspects, and build those big, ugly, empty apartment towers!
Apparently the new district will put the city over the limit in terms of acreage subject to "urban renewal" pillaging, and so they're yanking land out of the old airport district, which has long since maxed out on the bonds it can issue and is a massive flop anyway. Go by streetcar!

Letter To Father – On Father's Day
My little boy had to write a letter to his father on Father's day for letter writing activity at school. This is what he wrote. Isn't that nice?
Now before you leave, a teeny weeny bit on the history of Father's Day!
What is Father's Day?
The origin of Father's Day celebrations can be traced to the early 20th century in the United States of America. It was celebrated for the first time on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington by Ms.Sonora Smart Dodd, at YMCA. She believed that every father had the right to a celebration similar to Mother's Day. Her father had brought up six kids as a single parent.
Father's Day is now celebrated all over the world usually around the third Sunday that falls in June. It is a loving tribute to all the awesome fathers in this world!

The paradox of thrift is an economic theory that asserts that individuals choosing to save rather than spend their money can make a recession worse, and that individual saving can collectively be harmful. The paradox of thrift, like many economic theories, is not universally accepted as true.
Proponents of the theory posit that decreased spending by individuals harms businesses, causing the owners to lay off employees, who are then themselves unable to spend. This creates a snowball effect, as each round of layoffs impacts additional businesses, as well as heightening existing perceptions of weakness in the economy, which discourages further investment.

♥ 2 Creative Chicks Challenge Blog ♥
Gorgeous! I never get much done in terms of Thanksgiving decoration, I guess I'm worn out from Halloween + ready to start on Christmas. [it takes me awhile to plan a project, acquire supplies + then make it, so if I don't get started on Christmas stuff now it won't happen in time!] Thanksgiving is small in our house, the last couple of years it's been just the two of us since all of our family is on the west coast. I'm still looking forward to a great meal though + my classes end the Monday before Thanksgiving [I still have finals in December though], so there's a lot to look forward to! Good luck getting the rest of those completed :)ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! Please leave your blog address so I can visit you, too! :)

BERNARD Wrigley, aka the Bolton Bullfrog, will entertain with his own hilarious songs and dashing ditties at the Assembly Rooms, Derby on Friday, September 16.
Not only is Bernard one of the top names on the British folk scene, he has also appeared in a host of TV programmes including Emmerdale, Dinnerladies, Phoenix Nights, and the Award winning film Brassed Off.
His roguish sense of humour is highly infectious, and with the odd monologue thrown in for good measure, in no time at all his audiences are rolling in the aisles.
Also on the bill is Derbyshire trio The Old Fashioned, with Fi Fraser on fiddle and lead vocals, Pete Bullock on keyboards, and Howard Mitchell bass and melodeon.
The concert promises to be a lighthearted unique musical experience with lots of good clean humour. Tickets are £15, concessions £14 and under 16yrs £8, available from the Box Office on 01332 255800.

Due to the massive decline mainly in the construction and automotive industry caused by the financial crises, the availability of Calcium formate will be severely influenced. Calcium formate is a co-product to Pentaerytriol (Penta), which main application is paint, a sector significantly influenced by the decline in the construction industry.
After a period of reduced production of Penta we have decided to temporarily shut down production until market demand has recovered. Calcium formate is mainly used in the feed market and in the construction industry. As a consequence of the temporary shut down availability of Calcium formate will be very limited, we regret that this will cause problems for our customers, but we hope they have understanding for the measures taken.

A vast improvement In Mobile entertainment
The speaker within my car did start to die a couple weeks ago. It appeared like a pair of headphones inside of a paper bag. When my car audio doesn't sound correct, That's not me pleased, especially since i have make use of the car to play music to be able to work. I spoke to a few friends who know a little about cars and so they explained that I might want to use this chance to have newer and more effective replacement parts.
First, they recommended i obtain a sound meter so i could accurately detect the gap in sound levels. My girlfriends possess a large amount of exposure to cars, and even they have trouble detecting sound differences sometimes. Additionally, they told me to get a new speaker, and make certain that we use some deafening material to stop excess vibrations. One of my friends can be quite skilled at building, and even built a sealed sub-woofer box.
Austin Sunshades - Car Audio
The vehicle improved beyond its original sound. The sound of the auto with the medium volume setting is greater than just what it had been about the highest setting. My good friend even installed usb port spot to connect with my ipod. It's better than that old tape deck adapter which i used
We've farmed organic since the day we planted our first heirloom tomatoes over 30 years ago. It's good for the land, and it's great for you.
There's a lot of buzz about sustainable farming, and we couldn't be happier. We've seen how much richer the soil is when we control weeds, pests and disease without toxic chemicals. We're pretty sure it makes our harvest taste better, too.
When we started to farm, it was just the two of us. Now we've got kids of our own and 10 employees who've become our extended family. We're all here because we absolutely love what we do.

Happy Saturday morning, folks. Anyone else out there awake at 4am, taking surveys like me? I love this time of day, everyone else is asleep while I have my string lights illuminating the room, headphones on listening to Stan Getz, and earning.
After my write-up on Amazon Turk, I think the word is out that I am not a fan of the average survey site. Soon, I plan on putting together a comprehensive review of all the survey sites I sampled. It will be quite an undertaking, as I've tried 'em all. Before I document everything and let you know which ones are worthwhile and which (most) will waste your time, I thought I'd start the weekend off on a good note by sharing a small, relatively new survey site that I have a crush on: MintVine.
I joined MintVine about five months ago, with low expectations, but being the workaholic, obsessive nut I am, I never turn down an invitation to try a new opportunity to earn. As with most survey sites, during registration you immediately fill out the starter profiles, and I was pleasantly surprised at the amount MintVine paid me for setting up these initial profiles. The following week, I received a few small survey invites and quickly racked up a few quick, 15 to 30-minute surveys, for a dollar or two. MintVine has a $10 limit and I reached it within a week. Great so far, I thought. Now, let's cash out and see how they handle the next step: getting me my cash.
The next day, my funds were in my PayPal account. I was impressed. Yet… I already had my favorite survey sites and my time was maxed out, did I really need another site that offered $1-$2 surveys? Sure, they have a unique format, and they even pay you for your time when you receive the inevitable rejections, but I simply didn't have time to devote to another site.
How I Discovered the True Value of MintVine
Over the next three months, I treated MintVine like a distant friend, only using the service if I received an invite in my Inbox on a Sunday – when even Amazon Turk is slow. That's how I discovered the true value to Mintvine: Approximately 2-3 times per month, MintVine offers the crown jewel of survey sites: In-Home Product Testing, and various Focus Groups and Market Research Studies. In other words, an hourly earning rate of $25-$50. Disclaimer: Unfortunately, when you participate in a focus group or in-home research study through MintVine, you agree to a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which limits what I can say. As much as I'd like to share screenshots or details about these studies, I can't. But suffice to say; recently, I was paid $35 for a 45-minute study to discuss a well-known restaurant chain's plan to add new menu items. And just the other day I took a study on one of my favorite subjects: alcohol!
Bottom Line: MintVine gets my top endorsement. I receive about five invitations per week, usually for small surveys paying between $1-$3, sometimes less, sometimes more. The survey topics are unique and sometimes fun. However, it's the higher paying in-home product testing and focus group offers that really makes MintVine shine, and every month I receive several such opportunities. There are not many sites that offer these lucrative opportunities, let alone on such a consistent basis. I recommend joining MintVine while they are still accepting new accounts, because I suspect the registration doors will be closed, soon. Don't believe me? As an example: two comparable sites to MintVine are Pinecone Research and Darwin's Data. It took me seven months to get accepted to Pinecone. And I never got into Darwin's Data, each time the response was the same: "Sorry, we are not accepting new members."
This is where you want to be folks: Join MintVine.
Upcoming, or When I Get My Act Together
Very quickly: there are a few other sites that I will be talking quite a bit about in the future: FusionCash and ClixSense. These sites are not as cut and dry. They are GPT sites which are notorious for wasting our time, but good things are possible if you tread carefully. If you join these sites ahead of my report, feel free to ask me questions I'll help you work your way through the maze.
Would you like to take part in paid market research? Companies pay a LOT for your opinion! Check out my forum where I share research opportunities daily. They are all free pay incredibly well!

Why You Should Create A Weekly Planning Process
Executive coaching clients who have worked with me have heard me encourage them – time and again – to begin their week with a well-thought-out weekly planning process. A process that I first embedded into my weekly routine after reading David Allen's best seller on time management and planning, Getting Things Done, years ago.
Related: Time Management: 4 Keys To Avoiding Work-Related Stress
My weekly planning process allows me to enter each week feeling "in control." Not only that, but it also gives me confidence that I am focusing on the most important things in my life – my work life and my personal life – THAT week.
My weekly planning process includes review of a number of lists and tools, my calendar, my goals, my Inboxes, messages, written notes, and so on – a whole host of items that allow me to scan across my entire horizon of open loops, action-centric matters, and goals.
Two lists that I ALWAYS include in my weekly review and planning process are: 1.) my "Never" or "Absolute No" List, and 2.) my "Always" or "100% Commitment" List. These are two lists of promises I've made to myself that are in total alignment with my beliefs, personal vision, work, personal goals and objectives. Reviewing these two lists on a weekly basis flexes my awareness muscle and helps keep me conscious of these important promises.
I borrowed the idea for my "Never" list from one of my favorite authors and speakers, Cheryl Richardson, who offers the idea of "The Absolute No List" in her wonderful book (which I highly recommend), The Art of Extreme Self-Care.
The idea of creating a "Never" list serves as a powerful reminder of those things you want to remove from your life because they no longer (or never did) align with who you are, who you want to be, and what's important to you.
I find sharing examples helpful in explaining the concept of a "Never" list. In that regard, some of the items on my list and some that I've heard others express include the following:
I will never…
- Participate in or be a party to gossip.
- Throw away anything that can be recycled.
- Hang around with people who consistently bring me down or drain me emotionally.
- Multitask when I'm on the phone with a client, friend, or family member.
- Feel like I need to finish any book in which I've lost interest.
In addition to my "Never" list, I also have an "Always" list, a list of things that I am 100% committed to doing… always. My "Always" list serves as a potent reminder of habits, actions and behaviors that I fully embrace and that are in complete alignment with who I am, who I want to be, and with those things that I cherish in my life.
As examples, I've seen the following on various "Always" lists:
I will always…
- Spend the first part of my day, every day, in quiet time – reading, meditating, journaling, and so on.
- Perform a thorough weekly review and planning process first thing Monday morning (I've also seen this commitment on Fridays or the weekend).
- Exercise AT LEAST three days each week.
- Take a full two week vacation period each year, spending quality time with my family and leaving all work behind.
- Send a thank you note daily, seeking an opportunity every day to express gratitude and appreciation.
How about you?
What would be on your "Never" list?
…or your "Always" list?
Tip: Begin with a short list… don't go overboard with too many things. Something in the range of 10 +/- items on each list is what I tend to see in reviewing clients' lists.
Next step: Formulate your lists, and then, most importantly, review them often – certainly during your weekly review time. Some of my clients also keep their lists in their field of vision – as a constant reminder, particularly when they're initially beginning the process of abiding by the items on their lists.
Become the person you can be and want to be. Try these two powerful tools and watch the magic begin to happen in your life.

Nutty Carrot Cake with Cashew-Lemon Cream, Pecan-Rice-Caramel Crunch & Fresh Thyme
Blog | Food | From Switzerland
Be always up to date on Franke's events, activities and products.
Risotto alla Trevisana is one of the best-known and appreciated Veneto dishes, ideal as a prestigious pasta course, but with the advantage of being quick to prepare. Treviso Red Chicory and Vialone Nano rice, two typical Veneto culinary ingredients, are combined to make a rich first course with an intense flavour and a bold visual impact dominated by its bright red colouring.
Start with the chicory: wash and dry it, and clean its root, keeping only the most tender parts. Cut half the two heads à la julienne and finely slice the other half, including the root.
At this point slice the onion thinly, place it inside a casserole with half the butter, and stir fry until it becomes transparent. Add the sliced chicory roots, leaving the leaves to one side, and increase their flavour by cooking them at high heat. Now add several tablespoons of vegetal broth to soften them. Mix the rice with the onion, browning the mixture for a few minutes while delicately sirring with a wooden spoon. Add the glassful of white wine, and cook on high heat until the alcohol evaporates. Pour a ladle of boiling broth over the rice, stirring from time to time, and leave it to be absorbed. Continue to cook the rice, adding more broth as it gets absorbed. Estimate a cooking time of between 16 and 18 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, remove the chicory from the pan and break the sausage into crumb-sized pieces. Cook the sausage in the pan with 1 tablespoon of oil, add the chicory julienne and brown for several minutes, mixing well until it has become soft. Add salt and pepper if desired. Dice the remaining butter and mix with the rice once cooked, along with 2 tablespoons of grana padano cheese.
Serve the Risotto alla Trevisana at the table, one plate at a time, adding the fried chicory on top of the rice, along with the rest of the grated cheese.
Xè pronto in toea! ("Dinner is served!") BUON APPETITO!!
A single black top: 5 burners with cast-iron grilles.
Wall-fitted and with touchscreen controls: just two of this hood's many strong points.

CNA Center
Chicago, Illinois
Built in 1972, the iconic 1,300,000-square-foot CNA Center was originally a single-tenant structure. Over time the business insurer became more strategically focused, concentrating solely on property and casualty business. The result was a smaller company with an excess of 250,000 square feet of vacant space for rent in its iconic red tower. CNA made the decision to reposition the building and, for the first time, open it to multiple tenants. Working with a team of experts including The John Buck Co., Leopardo and Powell/Kleinschmidt architects, CNA invested $60 million in the repositioning strategy. Project highlights include:
- A lobby within a lobby that allowed new tenants to enjoy a completely separate entrance, lobby and address
- Glass curtain wall, which added 5,000 square feet to the existing 15,000-SF lobby
- Entire vertical transportation system redesign
- New landscaping plan to piggyback with the city's Wabash improvements
- Demolished the third floor and built a new health club and conference center
- Converted low-rise floors to multi-tenant use
- Upgrade mechanical and electrical systems

Angelica Root Essential Oil
Here in the Midwest, I had grown Angelica for a couple seasons. Its height and distinctive appearance was a unique backdrop to my other herbs. It is the root that is most frequently used for its arsenal of therapeutic properties.
A number of sources indicate that Angelica Root Essential Oil may help fight infections, stimulate the immune system and help motivate the elimination of toxins.
Angelica Root Essential Oil also has a history of aromatherapy use towards combating stress, anxiety and exhaustion.
Aromatically, I find the aroma of Angelica Root Essential Oil to be pleasant. It is known for its use in perfumery and fragrancing. You will likely find Angelica Root Oil to be one that you don't prefer to use on its own, and will likely prefer to blend it with other oils. It's woody and peppery aroma blends well with wood oils like Cedarwood, Juniper Berry Essential Oil, some of the spice oils, and I also enjoy blending it with Orange or Bergamot Essential Oils.
Angelica Root is said to be a key ingredient in the flavoring of Benedictine and Chartreuse, both distinctively flavored liquors.
Angelica Root Essential Oil is a phototoxic oil. Several sources indicate that Angelica Root Oil contains bergapten, the same constituent that is responsible for the phototoxicity of Bergamot Essential Oil. (See below Safety Information section for more info).

[B. Lawrence, "Angelica Root Oil," Perfumer & Flavorist, December/January 1977, 31, cited in Salvatore Battaglia, The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy (Australia: The Perfect Potion, 1997), 140.]
Angelica Root Essential Oil Safety Information
Angelica Root Essential Oil is phototoxic. Although the steam distilled essential oil is preferred for holistic aromatherapy and is the basis for this profile, it's prudent to mention that Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young also mention that Angelica Root CO2 and Angelica Root Absolute are also possibly phototoxic. Reading Tisserand and Young's full profile is recommended. [Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young, Essential Oil Safety (Second Edition. United Kingdom: Churchill Livingstone Elsevier, 2014), 87.]
Avoid Angelica Root Oil during pregnancy and diabetes. [Julia Lawless, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Essential Oils (Rockport, MA: Element Books, 1995), 84.]
General Safety Information
Do not take any oils internally and do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated essences onto the skin without advanced essential oil knowledge or consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. For general dilution information, read AromaWeb's Guide to Diluting Essential Oils. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage, have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme caution when using oils with children and be sure to first read the recommended dilution ratios for children. It is safest to consult a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children, the elderly, if you have medical issues or are taking medications. Before using this or any essential oil, carefully read AromaWeb's Essential Oil Safety Information page. For in-depth information on oil safety issues, read Essential Oil Safety by Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young.

text: Doe Deere, founder of Lime Crime cosmetics, and influential Instagram celebrity may be a wildly successful entrepreneur and business queen- but you'd never be able to discern that judging from her relatively average, normal daily routine. It may be easy to assume that someone like her would wake up surrounded by faithful servants and magical unicorns catering to her every need, but really, she's just like you and me. In an interview with Savoir Flair- she details a day in the life of a prolific and flourishing businesswoman. Deere begins each morning promptly and pointedly at 8:30 AM- and while many of us groan at the thought of getting out of our warm and cozy beds every morning- Deere has become one of those fabled "morning people" through her routine. She enjoys pondering nature in the early hours as she prepares for the endless possibilities ahead, while tending to herself by making sure to nourish her body with a large glass of refreshing water. After a few rejuvenating stretches to wake up the rest of her body, she prepares herself a nutritious breakfast to provide energy for her entrepreneurial activities of the day. Deere is a huge fan of natural foods like fresh orange juice and yogurt- but definitely doesn't have a qualm in indulging in her beloved grits as well. She then takes a few moments to connect with her adoring fans and the Lime Crime team- as well as flip through Instagram to get caught up on the latest and greatest fashion and makeup trends for inspiration. After she's finished catching up with her daily dues, Deere makes time for her favorite activity in the world- her makeup and hair. By the morning, her hair is dry from her night's shower- so in the morning she's able to move right to curling it into her luscious, definitive curls. Then she cranks some Beatles and begins by cleansing, moisturizing and hydrating her face. After a light coat of foundation she then fills her brows, and finishes with blush and finishes with her favorite- a pop of pink or red lipstick. Finally Deere makes sure to take a second to show some love to her two spoiled little furry children, her cats. Then it's off to see her other child, the business she's forged and nurtured into a blossoming cosmetic giant. Learn more: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doedeere

How to lead a calm and pleasant life? Cardinal rule – FORTY NINE; social systems and individual's emotions
Since it is individuals who form societies, right balancing of various systems and functions of all societies depends upon the capacity of individuals to balance their emotions in the right way and nurture right feelings. Sustained emotions of one generate feelings and feelings trigger one's vision about requirements, which in turn create demands. It is these visions and demands of individuals in a society that mold social systems and functions. When social systems and functions are supportive, individuals get calm and pleasant life. It is highly cyclic.

Fred Perry introduces The Reissues Collection
Classic will always prevail.
BY JANIE CAI | Mar 6, 2017 | Fashion
There's a reason for the saying, "Old is gold" and Fred Perry seems out to prove that point with the introduction of The Reissues Collection. Taking its archives as the starting point, each piece references the heart of the brand's design DNA, which is based on the styles and the stories that make up the subcultural uniform. Drawing from their rich history, expect to see classic polos, a sharp button-down shirt, and the evergreen and original Harrington and Bomber jackets, which have retained all their authentic details. Also noteworthy is the fact that the M12, M3 and M2 Fred Perry shirts from the collection are made in England, and that the collection's colour palette is derived from the tones found in their original catalogues, making it a true celebration of Fred Perry heritage.

Meat Chickens Venture Outside
|"Quick! Someone's coming. Get inside."
|"Quick! Someone's coming. Get inside."
i'm sure they will have a good life while they've got it.ReplyDelete
We raised seven meat birds this year. I let them free range luckily my neighbors liked my chickens because they got brave and would venture pretty far! They grow faster than a normal chicken, ours crowed at nine weeks and also tried mating with my hens which I wasn't too happy about! And they ruined a few garden beds. All of that made it easier to process them, but I would pen them up next time when they reach that point! Good luck and have fun!ReplyDelete
The pictures make me miss having chickens this year!ReplyDelete
We are going to have to work our way up to meat chickens, butchering will be a big step for us. They are much better off with you than in some cage somewhere.ReplyDelete
I think it is wise not to get to know them too much, just think of them as little roast chickens or hearty chicken casseroles on two legs, I can imagine they will be delicious.ReplyDelete
I found that it was pretty easy to butcher them by the time they were ready. The Red Rangers and meat chickens in general don't seem to be the most intelligent chickens out there. Be ready because they are eating and pooping machines compared to regular chickens.
We did 95 this spring for the first time and it went so well, we already ordered 150 for this fall.
Hi Kim, so happy they get to be outside not just in a little cage. Great pictures, Blessings Francine.ReplyDelete
Those chickens will lead so much more happy lives than 99 percent of the meat chickens in this country.ReplyDelete

By Frida Ghitis, www.philly.com
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands – Despite much-quoted claims to the contrary, evidence abounds that the sword frequently defeats the pen. If you don't believe me, come to the bustling street in this city where, in plain daylight four years ago, a man named Mohammed Bouyeri cut the throat of Theo Van Gogh, almost severing his head.
The Dutch-born Bouyeri plunged a knife into Van Gogh's body, skewering into him a letter threatening to also kill Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a fierce critic of Islam who had collaborated with Van Gogh on a film about the Quran. The killer, it seems, did not like the film.
Another, similarly disposed art critic brought up Van Gogh's name a few days ago in the United States. Writing on the Web site RevolutionMuslim.com, he threatened a fate equal to what befell Van Gogh's for the creators of South Park, the animated Comedy Central series that makes it a point to offend just about everyone. According to Revolution Muslim, a recent South Park episode depicting the prophet Muhammad (in a bear suit, along with figures from other religions) is a crime punishable by death.
Quoting Islamic scholars, Revolution Muslim explained, "Whoever curses the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) – a Muslim or a non-Muslim – he must be killed and this is the opinion of the general body of Islamic scholars."
While most Muslims would not shed blood over a comedy show, we have known for a good many years that among the followers of Islam, there are those who would kill anyone – even another Muslim – who offends their religious sensibilities. That is not news.
What we learned from the South Park event, however, is just as troubling. In the face of threats, the bosses at Comedy Central folded like cheap TV trays. Comedy Central heavily censored the cartoon, granting such blackmailers exactly what they want.
Forget land of the free, etc. The channel gave up without even considering a fight.
Comedy Central faux anchorman Jon Stewart recently regaled viewers with a musical number carrying a message to Revolution Muslim. Marveling that the extremists have the chutzpah to live in New York – home of the world's best Jewish delis – and enjoy American freedoms while threatening South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker and their freedom of expression, Stewart sang a feverish rendition of "Go F- Yourselves," complete with backup gospel choir.
But Stewart went curiously easy on Comedy Central's spinelessness. "It's their right," he allowed. "The censorship is a decision Comedy Central made to protect their employees."
Yes, it's the channel's right to do so. But that doesn't make it any less scandalous. Comedy Central should have hired bodyguards for Stone and Parker and aired the episode uncut. That way, Viacom, the rich and powerful corporation that owns Comedy Central, could have really protected them – protected their safety and their freedom of speech and their ability to do their often-hilarious and frequently cringe-worthy work.
It goes without saying – but let's say it anyway – that nobody is required to watch the show. Not Muslims, not Mormons – whose theology South Park mercilessly mocks. Not Jews, not Christians, not patriotic Americans, who might have seen an episode showing Jesus defecating on the American flag.
The show often goes over the line. Those who find it offensive can change the channel. They can write letters, start boycotts, picket the studios. But death threats are simply not acceptable. Caving in to them is shameful.
Too many times in the West, we have seen powerful media empires behave like craven weaklings. It was Bart Simpson, aptly, who put it best, writing a hundred times on the blackboard: "South Park – We'd stand beside you if we weren't so scared."
A few years ago, after extremists threatened (and later attempted) to kill a Danish cartoonist for depicting Muhammad in his work, I saw the artist interviewed on CNN, my once-proud home. When the cartoonist tried to hold up a page with the drawings, CNN almost tackled the camera to the ground to keep the pictures from airing. Cowardice was never so pathetically hilarious.
Theo Van Gogh, whose antics occasionally resembled South Park's in their tastelessness, discovered that his pen was no match for a killer's sword. And yet, the pen – the keyboard, the comedian, and the editorial cartoon; Bart, Cartman, Kyle, and Kenny – actually holds enormous power. To win, however, it needs its backers to show backbone. Too bad South Park's have none.
