Author: Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.Paperback, 608 pages Publisher: Ballantine Books Publication date: 1992 List: US$7.99 ISBN: 0345409876Amazon Price & Info: Click Here
Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes Ph.D. is a collection of teaching tales from many cultures, not limited to the United States, Russia, Mexico, Siberia and Iceland. The stories are multi cultural, and many are familiar favorites told with a new spin. "Bluebeard", "Vassilissa The Wise", "The Red Shoes", "The Handless Maiden" and "The Little Match Girl", will be recognized and are expanded upon with a few lesser known stories such as "The Crescent Moon Bear" and "Sealskin Soulskin". ĀEach story is broken down into its symbolisms and lessons and how they relate to the evolving psyche of women. Ā Ā
In "Bluebeard", the youngest of three sisters in her youth and Ānaivety dismisses her visceral impression of Bluebeard and says to herself after he has come a courting with bells on, ĀBut his beard is not so very blue? ĀHow could someone so charming be bad? Ā Little does she realize that the outwardly charming nature is bait for the trap. ĀIn spite of her better judgement, she marries him- and nearly becomes his victim as many women before her. Ā
In the breakdown of the story Estes explores the development and maturation processes that women progress through. ĀLearning to spot the predator, learning to trust instinct, understanding that the seemingly pleasant facade is simply that, a facade and steering clear of the not always so obvious dangers. ĀIn some stories she addresses external predators, such as Bluebeard. In others she addresses the predatory internal aspects of the psyche and socialization; the woman who gives too much at cost to herself, or the trades the future for the now; as in "The Little Match Girl", who burns each of her matches to sell in an effort to keep warm, and consequentially freezes to death. Ā
There are stories of hope, humor and inspiration as well, in Ā"Baubo, the belly Goddess", and the slightly racy, yet oddly endearing "Coyote Dick". ĀHer analysis and breakdowns are insightful, although often a bit wordy. ĀShe has a tendency to run off on tangents. ĀShe eventually comes back to track, and gives a good table of contents to allow quick reference to the story you need when you need it. ĀIt has become a staple, and I have read and reread it multiple times over the years. ĀUpon getting married, having children, or even simply as an affirmation of the indomitable archetypal spirit of woman, this book is a great read.

So I quilted around it and added some foil and some Angelina scraps. Around the time I was making this, I took a beading class, so I started adding beads. I guess I thought I was going to bead the whole thing or something.
I made a couple of frogs á la Christie Friesen to complement the little frogs stenciled on the fabric. I made some (out of scale) lilypads and flowers for the frogs. Then I got sick of beading and sick of the pink, so I put it away.
Fast forward to last week. I have been working on a piece for a show in Beaver Dam, WI -- the "Waves and Water Exhibit" at the Beaver Dam Area Arts Association. It wasn't going well and with all the horror happening in the Gulf, I remembered the pink thing. I had wanted to make a statement about disappearing wetlands and how frogs are the cave-canaries of the marsh. But short of "Toxic Swamp" or "Marshy Mess," I'm not coming up with much. Nothing with even a whiff of elegance. Or at least something that would let it stand on its own. "In the Pink," "In the Drink," "Everybody into the Pool," "Swamp Gas," "Wetland Witness," nah...
I took it to a meeting of Madison Contemporary Fiber Artists. I had been asking about methods for hanging pieces, but when I set this out and arranged the polymer clay bits, everybody said, "you should display it flat -- just like that." Apparently there is space for a 3D horizontal work. Cool. Now if I can just come up with a title.

Jane's Keynote speach at lunch on Saturday will be on "The Future of Authorship." Jane will also be teaching two Saturday sessions on Platform, and two preconference workshop on publishing--Traditional Publishing on Friday morning, and Independent E-Publishing on Friday afternoon.
GLVWG member Jerry Waxler got in touch with Jane to ask her some questions about her sessions, workshops, and her view on the industry in general, including using social media to promote your writing.
Jerry: Seeking soothing reassurance
Not only are publishing strategies changing all the time, but they seem to be increasingly urgent, making many of us feel that if we don't catch the latest wave we'll fall behind. This might be why I enjoy reading things you write. You seem to be able to convey information without an out-of-breath sense of urgency. How do you feel about keeping up with all the changes? Are you constantly frantic or have you found a way to stay balanced in the midst of radical change?
(e-mail, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
But these tendencies of introverts …
by them
· Other Amazon features (e.g., readers who bought X also
bought Y)
· Goodreads and other reading community sites
· Social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc)
· Physical bookstores
· Book clubs (offline and online)
· Traditional media coverage (public radio, magazines,
· Old-fashioned word of mouth
Everyone knows that the best way to sell your second book is by thrilling readers with your first. It's almost become a cliché (at least in the online publishing community) that you should focus on building platform by writing your next fabulous story that gets people talking.
However, and I'll use CJ Lyons as an example again, there's nothing wrong with nurturing that word of mouth and giving readers more tools to help spread the word. In the Q&A I did with her at my website, she shares some of her most essential strategies for engaging readers. I also think it's interesting that while she puts story quality front and center, she also took time to train herself in online marketing and promotion. (She reveals her sources in the Q&A).
Jerry: The New Social Pleasures of Writers Sticking Together
Recently, writing seems to have caught on in a big way. So many of us seem to be flocking together in groups, in the region and online. Since I began to apply myself in earnest to this activity, writing has turned into a groundswell of collective enthusiasm. As a writing popularize, you are in the epicenter of this wave. How is it affecting you? What sort of changes have you seen in the ethos of the writing community since you first became involved with it? Where do you think it's heading?
Jane: The biggest change by far is the growing voice and footprint of the self-publishing and e-publishing community, and the associated explosion of services for the independent author. While some of these services are much needed and welcome, it's difficult for a new writer, without a history of experience, to distinguish between a service that's worth her time or money, and one that is not. When in doubt, look carefully at the background and qualifications of the people who provide the service, and avoid those that don't clearly identify who you're working with.
Also, there's been a greater polarization of attitudes—or more strident attitudes—associated with the revolution mentioned at the very beginning of this interview. This creates the confusion for any writer walking into the current environment. Should you self-publish or traditionally publish? Do you need an agent or not? Should you blog or not? Do you really need a platform? Should you focus more on writing or more on platform? Does an e-book really have to be polished, or can it be just good enough to pass muster with a 99-cent price tag? Do the traditional publishers really offer value? Do bookstores really matter?
I could probably continue for several paragraphs about the many questions that divide writers, as well as people inside the publishing industry. My advice is to take the long view and seek those who avoid going to extremes in their pronouncements. Discussing the gray areas within an issue—parsing through all the intricacies—shows more wisdom given the times we live in.

House Introduces Student Aid Bill Jul 16, 2009 by Scholarships.com Staff Yesterday, the House of Representatives formally introduced legislation to reshape federal student loans, federal Pell Grants, and other aspects of student financial aid. The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009 builds on presidential budget recommendations and features several substantial changes to student aid. A preliminary breakdown of the bill provided by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators lays out the following proposed changes:Dividing the Federal Pell Grant into mandatory and appropriated funding, then fixing the mandatory portion to the consumer price index plus 1 percent. Currently, the mandatory portion of the grant is $490 and the appropriated portion is $4860, so if these proportions remain the same, increases in the Pell Grant would still largely be at the whim of Congress each year.Eliminating several questions on the FAFSA related to assets, but preventing anyone with assets of over $150,000 from qualifying for federal student aid.Ending the Federal Family Education Loan Program and moving all federal Stafford Loans to Direct Loans.Ending subsidized Stafford Loans for graduate and professional students in 2015.Reverting to a variable interest rate that would be capped at 6.8 percent for subsidized Stafford Loans.Expanding the Federal Perkins Loan program, with part of the new funding going specifically to schools that keep tuition low and graduate a high proportion of Pell-eligible students. Changing the rules for drug offenses to make students ineligible for aid only if they've been arrested for selling a controlled substance. The Democratic majority in the House has indicated a strong intention to pass this bill quickly, with the Committee on Education and Labor planning to vote on it as early as next week.And don't forget, you should pay for your college education with as much free money as possible!

Leaving gift for nursery
(13 Posts)Message deleted by Mumsnet for breaking our Talk Guidelines. Replies may also be deleted.
My nursery has a staff christmas fund that they use to fund their outings - I'm going to contribute to that.
I think gifts for the staff who take care of your dc is lovely. The nursery may cost the earth but 99% of the time these staff are on pittance and many (myself included) put their heart and soul into providing the best care they possibly can for the children. I agree personal gifts are nice ..i once got a lovely bottle of handwash ..smelt of oranges and each time i washed my hands at home i thought of the child who i had it from it doesnt need to cost the earth but means the world to staff.
Hahaha princesbold, I do love your comments and humour! ))))
Seen ohter posts! Brings smiles to my face!
Thanks ! x
PS: Will defo look into buying 60 i-pads when my DD leaves nursery!
If I have some pennies left after paying the nursery that is.....
No cheap gifts thanks, all the staff fight over the tins of biscuits and chocolates, we have to hold a raffle to stop the bitching and backstabbing. Best gift to give would be something all the children will be able to use, I-pads are the in thing right now.
Well, I think the problems I've had are with the running of the nursery rather than the people looking after my dd. They've been a big part of her life for two years now, I feel I should recognise that with a gift.
Not sure why you feel the need to buy a gift, particularly if has not been a 'great' nursery?
I've said this before on Mumsnet but I think there is far too much 'present buying' for nurseries, schools etc.
It seems a bit like the 'party bag' scenario - everyone does it and no one (except me ) is prepared to be the one to stop <or am I just a mean old git?>
When DD left nursery/preschool I gave them a plum tree, they have a small veg and fruit patch.
I work in a day nursery, and get a range of leaving gifts from parents. From a personal point of view, chocolates are disproportionately eaten by management as they can't be left near the kids, flowers are nice but wilt before you get them home, wine is nice, but as so many of the staff are either under 18 or don't drink, possibly no ideal. The nicest gifts I was given were a mug with a child's laminated fridge magnet picture, and another time a nice lip balm. Also, don't forget all the people who looked after your child in younger rooms, as usually the poor baby room staff get nothing while pre school are showered with gifts!
my dd left her lovely pre school at the end of a xmas term - I had photos from the xmas play, which i had made into a big collage to hang in the nursery, individually i bought them bath stuff from boots
I was just about to post the same question - for my brilliant nursery. I want to buy a collective gift for the staff, plus a couple of bottles for the key worker and manager.
Previously I have always given cava to manager, box of chocs/bix to staff.
DD1 leaves nursery next month and I was thinking about a leaving gift.
It's been a good, but not great nursery. I'm not even entirely sure who her current key worker is, so I was thinking of a collective gift. Also, some of the parents/children have been giving out sweets to all the children as a goodbye.
What have other people done?

- Mountain lions can jump a vertical distance of up to 15 feet and a horizontal distance of 40 feet.
- The length of a cougar's jaw and the size of their jaw closing muscles give them a particularly deadly bite. Cougars are known for attacking their victims with a fatal death bite on the neck.
- Lions roar to maintain territory, attract mates, establish dominance and communicate with each other.
- Lions have been reported to number as many as 40 in a pride.
- White lions do exist. They are a special morph of lion that can be found with a genetic condition called leucism. It is akin to melanism.
- Black leopards and black jaguars are both categorized as black panthers. It is genetics that cause them to be melanistic.
- Tigers have been known to swim from island to island in search of food. They are very strong swimmers and have been known to swim over 15 miles.
- According to the CDC, 52 people were reported being bitten by macaque monkeys between 1990 to 1997. This number is speculated as being low though as the CDC reports that owners are often reluctant to report injuries due to fear of animal confiscation.
- 80 to 90 percent of all macaque monkeys are infected with Herpes B-virus or Simian B virus, which while harmless in monkeys is fatal in humans.
- Macaques use 17 different vocal patterns to communicate.
- Macaques have been recorded to live to be up to 40 years old when properly cared for in captivity.

All American Pressure Cooker
Anybody have one of these pressure cookers? My wife ordered a 30 quart the other day to do some canning.
Works great.
The first time or 2 you use it, put shortening where the metal to metal meet. After a few uses, it should get a good seal without the shortening. |
The Following 9 Users Say Thank You to charliemeyer007 For This Useful Post: | ||
bought one of these to replace a very old one and so far my wife has used it to can 34 quarts of various things and lots of raspberry jam. Works well.
I love my All American. It's the only one I use for pressure canning. Pretty much fool proof. Like someone else said, make sure you use something where the metal to metal contact is. I keep a small container of petroleum jelly with mine. I re-lube it every time I clean the canner.
The only thing I've never been able to do with mine is successfully double stack. I don't get good seals, even with a rack between the two layers. So I single stack and it works fine. Enjoy your canner! |

Wow, that looks awesome, no gaskets to replace and you've got something that will last several lifetimes, provided you don't drop it on one of the lips... Maybe I shouldn't buy one until I replace these pesky butterfingers.

Your great grandchildren will be able to use it.
It's literally that good. The only downside is that the large ones are heavy and tall, and because they are thick walled, cooling can take some time. |

I have had mine for about three years. Only issue I had with mine is one of the black thumb screws that hold the lid down came apart from the metal nut underneath. Called the company and they sent me two new screws no questions asked. I really like the canner. Have used it to can poultry, beef, and veggies. Have had great results following the book that came with the canner.
Bought the 921 two weeks ago. Been experimenting with all sorts of recipes.. So far, Love it, and keep finding myself looking for new things to go in the jar... My issue is storage. no basement, and not enough cabinets or pantry, so, its a rack in the garage, which is subject to the heat of outside temperatures, which I know kills shelf life time... But at least, I am getting my practice in..
Love mine. Be sure to read the Booklet it comes with well. The first time I used it I skimmed over a part or two, because I thought I already knew bout it. (No matter how much you think you know, there's always something you don't)
Also, the booklet states the gauge my be off, by plus or minus 2 pounds of pressure. So you still need to listen to the "giggles". |
for that price the guage should work perfect.
I found a 30 qt one at a flea market on Sunday. Looks like new and we negotiated the price down to $50!!
I don't think it will get used till I have a gas stove. It's seems too heavy for the glass top. |

An outdoor gas cooker is what I use and it works great. You can find them pretty cheap too. And that's an awesome price on the canner

Efficacy and Safety of Canakinumab in Schnitzler Syndrome
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Schnitzler syndrome is a disabling inflammatory disease, characterized by chronic urticaria, fever, arthralgia, bone pain and gammopathy, which can so far only be effectively treated with anakinra, an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. However, this drug is not registered for use in Schnitzler syndrome, and it needs to be injected daily, which is uncomfortable and unpractical. Therefore other treatments targeting IL-1 are needed. Canakinumab is a long-acting monoclonal antibody against IL-1β that has been registered for bimonthly use in the rare autoinflammatory disease Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS). We hypothesize that it will be effective in Schnitzler syndrome too in view of clinical similarities to CAPS and the targeting of IL-1B, which is also blocked by anakinra (which blocks both IL-1B and IL-1A).
This is a 6-month open-label, single treatment arm study of canakinumab 150 or 300 mg (in case of insufficient response to 150 mg) subcutaneous injection once per month in patients with active Schnitzler syndrome, in which efficacy and safety will be assessed.

Canakinumab is a high-affinity human monoclonal anti-human interleukin-1β (IL-1β)antibody of the IgG1/k isotype), developed for the treatment of IL-1β driven inflammatory diseases. Canakinumab binds human IL-1β and functionally neutralizes the bioactivity of this pro-inflammatory cytokine. IL-1β is produced mainly by mononuclear phagocytes in response to injury and infection and plays a dominant role in the pathobiology of autoinflammatory syndromes (e.g. Cryopyrin associated periodic syndrome, CAPS), systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and gout. Canakinumab is expected to treat the signs and symptoms of inflammation and the underlying structural damage of disease. Canakinumab has been administered in clinical trials as an intravenous (i.v.) infusion or as a subcutaneous (sc) injection and has been approved under the trade name ILARIS® in the US for patients ≥ 4 years of age with CAPS and in the European Union and Switzerland for CAPS patients ≥ 4 years of age.

Home -> BetterU News Archive -> Issue #14 -> Back Superset
By Nick Nilsson
Harness the power of the superset to send your back training to the next level.
The power of supersets is undeniable. Supersets (doing 2 exercises one after another with no rest in between) are very effective for building strength and muscle mass.
The following is a superset for your back that will pile on muscle like no other. One word of warning: you should be comfortable doing both of these exercises separately before attempting them together in a superset.
The first exercise is the barbell bent-over row. You can use either an overhand, wide grip or an underhand, close reverse grip. Both grips are effective but work different areas of the back.
Select a weight that will cause you to reach failure in the 6 to 8 rep range. Do a hard set of bent-over rows then immediately after setting the weight down, move into the second exercise: deadlifts.
You will use the exact same weight for deadlifts, however, you may wish to change your grip to a mixed grip (one overhand, one underhand) so that you can hold onto the bar better.
Do reps of the deadlift until either your grip fails or until a rep before your back fails (don't do deadlifts to absolute failure - always keep the do-or-die rep in you).
After you get done with the deadlifts, your lats should be extremely pumped up.
There are several reasons why this superset is so effective:
1. It uses two of the best mass-building movements for your back (and body!).
2. The bent-over row uses the lats to actually move the weight while the deadlift uses the lats to help support the weight. Since the lats are already fatigued from the rowing, they will be forced to work far harder when you do the deadlifts. In a nutshell, the rest of your body will help push your lats harder!
3. The weight you use for bent-over rows should be relatively easy for you on the deadlift. This allows you to do even more reps with the deadlift.
4. It is very easy and convenient to go from the bent-over row to the deadlift. All you need to do is change your grip (if even that! You may choose to use the same grip.).
Give this superset a try in your next back workout. The results will speak for themselves!
The Bent-Over Row builds thickness in the upper back and uses the lower back and abs to stabilize the body during the movement. The biceps also contribute to the movement, however care should be taken to minimize biceps involvement as the biceps are the weakest muscle in the chain.
This is most commonly seen as the straight-legged, rounded back style. This is the worst position for your lower back to be taking weight on. Always keep your lower back arched, your knees bent, and your head up and butt down.
Always lift the weight up using muscle power only. Yanking the weight up in this position can cause lower back injury.
This is often done as you pull the bar up in an effort to get the weight up to the end of the rep. Instead of pulling the bar up to you, you are dropping yourself down to meet the bar. This is a less effective way to train the back and has the potential for injury. Keep your torso as steady as you can.
Imagine your body as a plane coming in for a landing. This will help with your body positioning. Always look forward when doing this exercise. Looking down will automatically cause your back to round over.
If you have trouble keeping in the correct position, do this exercise with your butt pressed against the wall. By keeping it firmly in one spot, you will eliminate the tendency to stand up.
The Deadlift is a powerful exercise that should be a part of every serious trainers routine. It uses more active muscle mass than any other exercise, including squats. The focus of the Deadlift is usually considered the lower back, however it does work most of the major (and many of the minor) muscles in the body. The Deadlift is extremely useful for building muscle mass and total body strength because of the great amount of muscle mass it uses.
Always try to keep an arch in your lower back. It is natural for a little rounding to occur after the bar has cleared your knees but if you do the entire exercise with a rounded back, you are going to get hurt.
If one side of the bar comes up higher or if the bar starts rotating as you are lifting, then you are lifting unevenly. To remedy this, make sure your grip is even on the bar. Using a mixed grip can cause rotation as you lift so be sure to pull up evenly.
Do not lean back at the top of the movement. This could relax the erector spinae and make the spine take the whole load, leading to injury. Leaning back at the top does not constitute a full range of motion.
Don't hold your breath during the movement as that can increase blood pressure to dangerous levels.
Don't forget the negative portion of this movement. Don't just drop the weight. Lower it slowly. The negative is an extremely valuable part of the deadlift.
The mixed grip (one hand facing forward, one hand facing back) is better for a stronger grip as it prevents the bar from rolling.

I hope so, because Universal Studios is bringing The Walking Dead experience to life this coming Halloween... check out the video introduction below:
That's right... this coming October, fans of the Emmy Award winning series The Walking Dead can get off their couches and walk within the world of zombies as they make their way through an elaborately themed maze at both the Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood. Watch the video introduction and some comments from USH Creative Director, John Murdy below....
"Ever since The Walking Dead first premiered on AMC back on Halloween night in 2010, we've been huge fans of this television show," Murdy explained. " It had everything that we look for when it comes to Halloween Horror Nights. Great environments and iconic characters. Which is why we then reached to Greg Nicotero, the co-executive producer of The Walking Dead, to see if he'd be interested in working with us to reimagine this hit AMC series as a maze." "We're providing Universal with the exact same molds and make-up pieces that we used on the show. So when you encounter Bicycle Girl and the Well Walker as you go through The Walking Dead maze, they're going to look exactly as they did on the television show," Nicotero continued. "Our goal here is to give fans of the show as authentic an experience as we possibly can." "To my way of thinking, there's no better place to begin our story in this Walking Dead maze," Murdy stated. "We put you right in Rick's shoes. Imagine being in a coma and then waking up and realizing there are all these walking dead. And they're now trying to get you."

Washington - Not too long ago, Barack Obama would have found when he moved his family to Washington that his daughters couldn't attend the same schools white children could. They couldn't try on clothes or shoes at most local department stores, or eat at downtown lunch counters. Or see a play at the National Theatre or a movie just a block or two from the White House.
If a family pet died, it would have to be buried at a blacks-only cemetery.
"The owner stated that he assumed the dogs would not object, but he was afraid his white customers would," says a 1948 report on "Segregation in Washington."
Washington was largely a segregated city until the mid-1950s, a place where new students at Howard University were "briefed on what we could and couldn't do," recalled Russell Adams, now a professor emeritus of Afro-American Studies.
"If you go downtown, don't try to eat," he said. "And don't try to buy stuff you didn't need, like shoes."
The major reason for the segregation was less geography than politics and custom.
The city was ruled by Congress, and the key committee chairman or members were often white Southerners who boasted back home about their ability to keep the races separate. Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-Miss.), a member of the Ku Klux Klan and author of "Take Your Choice, Segregation or Mongrelization," headed the District of Columbia panel from 1945 to '47.
Washington didn't have the widespread Jim Crow laws that ruled much of the Deep South; in fact, when the District briefly had home rule after the Civil War, laws gave blacks equal rights in public places. But the laws were forgotten and the city "operated as if there were Jim Crow laws," said Jane Freundel Levey, a historian for Cultural Tourism DC.
Blacks could get served at lunch counters, but they had to stand and eat. At the leading department stores, clerks "turn their backs at the approach of a Negro," the 1948 segregation report found. Most downtown hotels wouldn't rent rooms to blacks.
Schools were segregated. Segregation of federal offices - as well as restrooms and cafeterias - became widespread during the Woodrow Wilson administration, starting in 1913. In some post offices, partitions were erected to keep the races apart at work.
Housing covenants barred blacks from many neighborhoods, often squeezing them into substandard housing. A 1948 survey found that black families were nine times as likely as whites to live in a home needing major repairs, four times as likely to lack a flushing toilet and 11 times as likely to lack running water.
The Washington Real Estate Board Code of Ethics in 1948 put its view in stark terms: "No property in a white section should ever be sold, rented, advertised or offered to colored people." That same year, the Supreme Court declared such covenants unenforceable.
The barriers began to break down in the years after World War II, but slowly.
Actors' Equity pressured its members not to perform at segregated venues, such as the city's historic National Theatre.
"We state now to the National Theatre - and to a public which is looking to us to do what is just and humanitarian - that unless the situation is remedied, we will be forced to forbid our members to play there," the group, which represents thousands of actors and stage managers, announced in 1947.
The city's premier live stage closed in 1948 rather than integrate and showed movies instead. It reopened as a live theater in 1952 under new owners willing to desegregate.
Up the street, however, blacks still couldn't go to many movie houses. First-run films were screened in a strip of theaters along or adjacent to F St., then the city's major commercial area, while theaters on U St., the heart of the black community's commercial district, showed the same films to black audiences.
Many hotels would welcome blacks only if they were from another country.
"Our visitor's best chance (to get a hotel room) would be to wrap a turban around his head and register under some foreign name," says the 1948 segregation report. "This maneuver was successfully employed not long ago at one of the capital's most fashionable hotels by an enterprising American Negro who wanted to test the advantages of being a foreigner."
Blacks weren't allowed to sit and eat at most downtown lunch counters and cafeterias. Things began to change in 1950, when 86-year-old Mary Church Terrell, a civil rights activist, tried to get served in Thompson's Cafeteria on 14th St., about two blocks from the White House.
In an affidavit, Terrell recalled her experience:
"The manager told us that we could not be served in the restaurant because we were colored," she said. Along with three friends, she left the restaurant and went to court. She targeted other restaurants, and in June 1953, Terrell won a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that segregated eating places in Washington were unconstitutional because the "lost laws" of the Reconstruction era were still in force.

Zero Hedge
Aug 3, 2011
It appears that GDP data revisions are not the only thing that the administration enjoys fudging with in order to make the Chinese ministry of Truth seem like a real ministry of truth. After last month the data for April food stamp recipients indicated the we may, just may, be reaching an inflection point in the foodstamp participation following a mere 60 thousand jump in those receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), today's just released data confirmed that the BLS and BEA may have had a hand or two when determining this latest data series. Because the just announced jump in foodstamp usage of over 1.1 million is entirely out of the blue, and as the chart below shows, is the highest single monthly jump in Foodstamp participation since mid 2009, when eligibility requirements were adjusted. Yes, that's 45.8 million people (obviously an all time record) living on foodstamps which amount to the whopping $133.80 per person (an increase of $0.54 M/M) and $283.65 (an increase of $1.29) per household. Obviously, annualizing the latest monthly rate of 1.1 million people, it means that over 13 million Americans will live on about one third what the cheapest iPad costs in about a year.
But wait, there's more. Digging into the numbers reveals something pecuiliar: virtually the entire surge in monthly SNAP participation is due to one state alone: Alabama, which saw those living on foodstamps jump from 868K to 1.762MM. That's 36% of Alabama's population. Is this merely a grand rehearsal for the Jefferson County bankruptcy? Did the state see a mass surge in foodstamp use as hundreds of thousands are trying to game the system in advance of what will be an apic Chapter 9? And if yes, what does that mean for all the other states which will promptly follow in the footsteps of Jefferson County, and for US foodstamp participation?
Which begs the question: will Obama be the first president under whose rule total foodstamp usage hit 100 million? Surely, by then there will be a Nobel price for destroying one's middle class better and faster than any communist in the history of the world, so at least there will be something to memorialize it with.

The Washington State Liquor Control Board has auctioned the rights to apply for a spirits retail liquor license at 167 state-run liquor stores statewide, including five in South King County, with the SeaTac store selling for $340,100.
The winning bidder is named Sunny Raj.
The state total of individual bids was $30.75 million, with rights awarded to 121 individual successful bidders. The online auction ended in a flurry of bidding on its final day, April 20.
"Business Enterprise Director Pat McLaughlin and his team executed this highly successful and historic feat in the midst of so many other pressing activities related to the transition to private liquor sales," said Liquor Board Chair Sharon Foster. "I am proud to be part of such a capable and professional organization."
Initiative 1183, approved by 60 percent of voters ordered the board to auction the state store properties at their current location. However, the state leases the properties, not owns, so winning bidders will have to negotiate with property owners for store leases.
"Successful bidders earned the exclusive right to apply for a liquor license at the current location within its current footprint," the board said. "All state store properties are below the 10,000 square foot threshold established by the initiative."
Local area stores and the winning bids:
- SeaTac store No. 109, 18613 International Blvd., sold for $340,100 to Sunny Raj. Fiscal Year 2011 gross sales unreported by Liquor Control Board.
- Burien store No. 157, 15858 First Avenue South, sold for $340,100 to Gurvinder Singh, Surrey, B.C. Fiscal Year 2011 gross sales $8,087,238.
- Des Moines store No. 170, 27067 Pacific Highway South, sold for $120,100 to Payara Singh. Fiscal Year 2011 gross sales $2,988,051.
- White Center store No. 53, 9822 15th Ave. SW, sold for $130,100 to Kulwinder S. Pabla. Fiscal Year 2011 gross sales $3,528,142.
- Tukwila store No. 86, 14227 International Blvd., sold for $110,100 to Hailom Ghebreab. Fiscal Year 2011 gross sales $4,402,131.

Those who receive healthcare through public programs such as CHAMPUS/VA, Medicare, and Medicaid are 48% to 88% more likely to receive any treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs) than those with private insurance who need similar services, according to a study recently published in The Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment.
The study, funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), with authors from SAMHSA, Mathematica Policy Research and the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD), concluded that populations with different types of public health insurance have rates of receiving treatment for an SUD that range from two to four times greater than the privately insured. The study concluded that those who need substance abuse treatment but hold private health insurance plans appear to have the lowest rates of receiving any or specialty treatment services (6.9% and 3.9%, respectively).
"Substance abuse takes a tremendous toll on the health of individuals, the safety of families, and the vitality of our economy and our society," said Ellen Bouchery of Mathematica, and the study's lead author. "These findings highlight the importance of parity in covering behavioral and mental health services at levels similar to those of other medical services."
Percentage of Population with SUD
Type of Insurance Coverage | Receive Any Treatment | Receive Specialty Treatment |
Private | 6.9% | 3.9% |
Medicare | 24.9% | 19.3% |
Medicaid | 18.2% | 13.6% |
Medicare and Medicaid | 27.0% | 23.6% |
Other | 13.3% | 9.3% |
Uninsured | 11.7% | 7.9% |
Total | 9.9% | 6.5 |
(Note: Data from analysis of the 2002-2007 NSDUH)
The study, which examined data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 2002 – 2007, also found that despite relatively better access to treatment services compared to those with private healthcare coverage, public insurance holders with SUDs still face a significant treatment gap – the difference between those who need substance abuse treatment and those who actually receive such services. The study's findings indicate that a treatment gap of more than 70% exists within the group with the best treatment access, after controlling for a number of predisposing conditions, including severity, need, and other variables.
According to government estimates, drug use contributed an estimated $193 billion in crime, health, and lost productivity costs during 2007. Dr. Bouchery's previous work for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the economic cost to the nation of excessive drinking was $223.5 billion in 2006. Increasing access to effective, evidence-based treatment could help reduce the health, social, and economic consequences of untreated addiction.

No easy way. No portable way. Your method is about as good as I've found, if you can't otherwise ask the OS about open files. Things like lsof on Linux may help, but only on the same machine which is actually regulating the filesystem; I can imagine certain network filesystems like Samba or NFS hiding those details. I made a quickie script I call 'settle' which runs a shell command repeatedly until the standard output or a given file ceases to change. It offers a variable window for polling for changes, but defaults to 5sec. -- In reply to Re: how to tell if a file is still being modified

- Synopsis
- Beloved Friends,Acts of Faith,more affectionately known as "the purple book," has truly taken on a life of its own. It has crossed gender lines to foster understanding, racial divides to create peace, religious barriers to encourage tolerance, and has become somewhat of a lantern for those seeking a better way of life. I have been told it has saved lives, renewed faith, created vision and healed wounds. Some day it has comforted them. Others say it has enlightened them. It has changed perspectives for some, directions for others and lives for many. I can take no credit for any of this. In fact, I give the credit to those of you who were willingly seeking, open and easy for whatever blessing you received from your interaction with this book. My goal in writing the book was to provide a service. At that time I never imagined how greatly I would be served. The kindness, generosity and love I have received in a response to this book has been, at times, overwhelming. Because we live in a world and during a time when we are untrusting, almost afraid of one another; we can forget how loving and supportive people can be. We also live in an environment where we tend to think of one another as them and us; the haves and the have nots. My experience during both the writing and promotion ofActs of Faithhas served as a valuable reminder of how alike we all are. We all cry. We all hurt. We all want to do better. We all learn and we all grow. I have grown tremendously since the publication ofActs of Faith. In both my personal and professional life, I have grown in the realization of just how precious life is and how blessed we are to be alive. I have grown to appreciate the delicate balance between surviving and flourishing. I have grown in the realization of the awesome responsibility one undertakes when they seek to serve. More important, I have grown stronger in my faith and belief that God is happy when His children are happy. You and I are God's precious children. Acts of Faithhas brought an incredible amount of happiness into my life. For this, I am grateful. I am happy that so many are searching for the truth about life and about themselves. I am happy that people from all walks of life, all social backgrounds are developing a deeper sense of awareness and connection to the beauty of life and the glory of God. I am grateful that from a very rocky beginning in life, I have been entrusted by the Creator to bring forth a message of truth and healing. I am grateful that healing is available and that many have found the healing that they sought in the pages of this little purple book. People often ask me, "What are your plans for the future? What will you do next?" They are somewhat taken aback by my casual response, "I haven't got a clue!"Acts of Faithhas taught me the value of surrender and the wisdom of not getting bogged down in all the details of life. I know that God has a plan for me and for us. I know that when you have pure intent and a loving desire, God will not forsake you. I wanted to show my appreciation to you by offering this gift edition ofActs of Faithas a special way of letting you know how much your love and support has meant to me. Give it to a friend or a loved one, or present it to yourself as a reminder that when you act on faith, you rarely go wrong and you are always blessed. Thank you for blessing me with your love.

New Italy coach Cesare Prandelli has backed Internazionale to walk away with another Serie A title at the end of the upcoming season.
Prandeli, who ended a five-year spell at Fiorentina to replace Marcello Lippi in the national team hot-seat recently, feels Roma will be their biggest rivals once again while suggesting his former La Viola side could struggle without long-term injury victim Stevan Jovetic.
Speaking to La Stampa, he sad: "For the championship, I don't think there are alternatives to Inter.
"Massimiliano Allegri has demonstrated he can teach valuable and profitable football, so there is belief in Milan. At Juve there is still a lack of quality, but if the group follow Luigi Del Neri to the death then they could cause a scare.
"Roma remain the most fierce anti-Inter. Fiorentina without Jovetic. It is an ugly blow. Jovetic is the embodiment of someone who can make a difference."

At first I didn't want to post this, but I'm kind of getting over the whole "pride" thing. I did send this out in a newsletter to those that are subscribed to that. I thought long and hard before posting here, but I figured why the heck not. If you want to help great, if you don't then no big deal. So below you can read my story and why I need your help and why I need to win…
I've entered a contest by Intel. You may have seen me write about the contest in a blog post. Well, I entered the slideshow division. I'm currently in 3rd place and truly appreciate you voting for me.
Now, the personal stuff…why I want to win…It's $5,000! We are self employed and have no medical insurance. I need to go to a specialist, specifically a nuerologist. I feel like my life is being taken from me. Somedays I can not even write my own name. My speech is horrible, I say the wrong words, they come out in the wrong order and I am even stuttering. When I laydown at night to relax my head starts jerking to the right. I know I am doing it, but can not stop it from happening. The pain has spread from only being in my arm to now encompassing my entire body. I have no idea what is wrong and honestly, it's starting to scare me. I have 3 little girls and I want to take care of myself for them.
If I won this contest I would use that money to go to a specialist and get the tests done that are needed to see what is going on with me. I'm only 35…

Team Spirit
An 80-year-old rabbi with whom Harry Smith studied cabala in the 1950s watched one of his pupil's hand-painted, animated films of geometric shapes pulsating to the syncopated rhythms of bebop, and remarked in Yiddish, "That man is from another planet." Smith, who died in 1991 at the age of 68, was a painter, anthropologist, folklorist, and ethnomusicologist, as well as a filmmaker. Shuffling between Native American sweat lodges and the Chelsea Hotel, he devoted his rigorously marginal existence to investigating the mystical qualities of abstract forms, whether in the unearthly strains of Tuva throat singers, 19th-century theosophical diagrams, or the art of Kandinsky.
In an age increasingly hungry for spiritual content and wary of market values, such a dedicated eccentric appears ripe for reconsideration. This show, curated by Raymond Foye (who also contributed an essay to the insightful catalog), presents a selection of Smith's drawings and paintings, and one film, alongside the work of contemporary painters Philip Taaffe and Fred Tomaselli. It's an inspired match. The three share an eye-popping visuality and a concern with art's otherworldly dimension.
Taaffe's brightly colored, biomorphic acrylics on paper can seem like portals to another reality, or the residue (à la Henri Michaux) of psychedelic experiences. Smith's lushly beautiful and sometimes druggy silk screens and gouaches are filled with complex geometries, suggesting designs for the game plan of a divine creator. His film, set to a Beatles soundtrack and playing continuously in the back gallery, is mesmerizing. Best of all, Tomaselli's paintings, photograms, and collagesthe latter pieced together from leaves, pills, and magazine illustrations of tiny eyes, noses, mouths, and flowersform Arcimboldo-like figures or outer-space galaxies that fairly explode with life.

La vie en Provence
Trip Start
Jan 09, 2004
Trip End
Jul 14, 2004
My festive but not particularly immersing time in Paris with the Americans is in complete contrast to Provence. I've been staying with a French family who have fed me and driven me around to see all there is to see within a 50km radius I'm sure. My French has taken a drastic jump in fluency, from my arrival when I could barely get out a sentence and had little hope of understanding the response, to where I can maintain a normal conversation and am even game enough to venture into the past and future tenses! It's amazing how much more a week of true immersion can do than a year of study. Robert, the father, doesn't speak any English, and Christine, the daughter is much too shy to do so despite several trips to Canada. Ghislaine and Stefan have more than passable English, so thankfully I had some brief respites from the onslaught of French my head was forced to contend with. Perhaps it's merely still a matter of practice but I think spoken French is harder to contend with in Italian. Italian is more articulate and raw, whereas in French the words in a sentence flow together into one, and I have to go through the possible meanings of each sentence before comprehension. But I'm getting there.
The food here is amazing. I think I've been to four different markets this week, from the Ventabren local, to the fish market at Marsaille and the massive conglomeration of markets and fountains that is Aix en Provence. We spend at least three hours a day eating, and my body is slowly adapting to the idea that it's best not to stuff oneself full of olives and aperitifs, with the knowledge that a main course, cheeses and then dessert will invariably follow. It's the middle of summer here so a siesta in the hammock is the ideal way to relax and digest.
The French baguette well deserves its reputation. I don't know how we eat the factory leavened cardboard we call bread back home, or worse still in North America. Each day here there is fresh bread in the house to accompany all eating, whether simply with olives, or tapenade, or nutella for breakfast, or of course with a plate full of fresh cheeses. Although the perfect weather, the gorgeous scenery and the romantic lifestyle are all reasons I could certainly live in Provence one day, the biggest drawcard is unequivocally the divine cuisine.

Named after the Greek Goddess of Agriculture, Ceres is a self-styled energy crop producer. Ceres has developed proprietary seeds for sweet sorghum and switchgrass to be used as feedstock for ethanol production. Ceres seeds are genetically modified to produce crops that require less water and fertilizer and are tolerant of higher salt levels in soil. Higher yields and consistent availability lead to improved economics for large-scale ethanol production.
big part of Cere's IPO pitch was the market opportunity in Brazil where ethanol
production is highly dependent upon seasonal production of sugarcane. Sweet sorghum is compatible with existing
equipment and helps fill in the gap between sugarcane crops. Ceres worked with a joint venture led by
Petrobras in a commercial planting of sorghum that for all practical purposes
was successful.
Greek Goddess has other reasons to smile on Ceres. Amyris (AMRS:
Nasdaq) used Cere's sorghum syrup in its
proprietary yeast fermentation system to produce Amyris' farnesene, an oil used
in producing diesel. Amyris had been
widely reported as exiting biofuels to concentrate chemical know-how in the cosmetics
sector. However, in July 2012, Amyris
announced a revision of its collaboration with Total, Gas and Power, SA (TOT: NYSE) to carry the renewable
farnesene torch forward. Total agreed to
give Amyris $30 million this year to continue a research and development
program. The verdict is still out on
whether the developments at Amyris will make a difference for Ceres.

Well, you built a solid resume, researched the company, and breezed through the interview. You're sitting back thinking about how wonderful you have done. But guess what – you can't stop now! What occurs, or does not occur, after the interview often determines who gets the job.
That's right, even if you've done everything incredibly well up until now, not following-up with a thank you letter can kill your chances of getting the job. Employers often interview several people for each position and you can get lost in the pile if you don't follow-up and make yourself stand out from the crowd.
This is not an impossible task. It's really a simple thing compared to the hours you spent preparing the perfect resume and researching answers to interview questions. You simply need to write a letter to the interviewer(s) to thank him/her for their time and restating why you are the perfect candidate.
This may seem like a trivial, even menial, task – but it is important. A follow-up letter is a step in the job-search process that many people overlook or take for granted. Show your follow through abilities, initiative, and respect by taking the time to craft a strong letter. It could be what wins you a job.

| Staten Island Ice Hockey Association Receives $500 Grant from Allstate Agent HeroAllstate agency owner Larry Smith was recently named an Agent Hero by Allstate Insurance Company's New York Region, and awarded a $500 grant for a local youth program. The Smith Agency donated the grant to the Staten Island Ice Hockey Association.
The Smith Agency donated the grant to the Staten Island Ice Hockey Association (SIIHA), which provides ice skating and ice hockey instruction to Staten Island youths through after-school clinics and games. The donation will help the SIIHA offer a free winter clinic starting in November 2010 at the Staten Island Skating Pavilion at 3080 Arthur Kill Road, where boys and girls age 4 to 17 can learn skating and the fundamentals of ice hockey. Smith himself first played organized hockey in the SIIHA junior varsity and varsity high school leagues with Monsignor Farrell High School, from 1980 to 1984. "As an Allstate agent, I believe it is my responsibility to demonstrate the Good Hands Promise in the Staten Island community every single day," said Smith, whose office is located at 3800 Richmond Avenue. "It is an honor to be able to donate this grant to the SIIHA and hopefully touch the lives of the kids who are involved. I hope to encourage the growth of the sport of ice hockey on Staten Island." Contact the Smith Agency at 718-967-1500. For more information visit SIIHA.com.

According to Wikipedia, authors Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz noted in their 2007 book Baby Name Bible that Ruby is a "vibrant" name with a "sassy and sultry image", while Laura Wattenberg wrote in her 2005 book The Baby Name Wizard: A Magical Method for Finding the Perfect Name For Your Baby that Ruby has the image of a woman "kicking up her heels" at a music hall.
I like the idea of kicking up my heels at a music hall especially in my faux biker boots.
If William and Kate are thinking of baby names for their future queen I quite like the idea of a future monarch kicking up her heels at a musical hall.

আপনার পিসির জন্য দারুন Softwer ডাউনলোড করুন
softwer details–
USB disks let you add unlimited storage to your desktop or laptop (especially laptops!) for movies, songs, images, backups, and other bulky data. USB thumbdrives and portable storage devices let you carry gigabytes of data with you. The USB interface means compatibility with almost every PC. And here's the problem: huge capacity, total portability, universal compatibility, and absolute indispensability work together to render your USB disks and devices especially vulnerable to viruses and other malware. USB Disk Security from Zbshareware Lab is an effective solution for securing your USB disks and data. This easy-to-use shareware is widely compatible with antivirus programs and other security tools. It's free to try, but the fully licensed version comes with lifetime updates and support.
Software tends to look like its type: media players, graphics apps, and e-mail clients usually look like media players, graphics apps, and e-mail clients. USB Disk Security looks like an up-to-date PC security tool, with a colorful and stylish yet professional-looking interface, clearly labeled buttons, and file list views. USB Disk Security incorporates several tools, including USB Shield, with real-time monitoring of USB drives; USB scan, a malware scanner optimized for USB drives; Data Prevention, which consists of the USB Access Control and USB Drive Control tools; and Safe Sites, with a URL Scanner and a Safe Web Navigation feature that sets the program's LinkZB page as your browser's home page. USB Disk Security also bundles some useful System Tools: Disk Cleanup, Repair System, and Autostart List. Unsafe and deleted files are moved to a Quarantine directory. The Settings menu is simple: just a password feature and language menu. But the Help menu is extensive and clearly written as well as illustrated with many screenshots.
We use a lot of USB disks and drives for a lot of different types of data, and we've used many utilities designed to protect them, but never one as powerful and capable as USB Disk Security, or with as many extras. If you like USB Disk Security, the registration cost is a small price to pay to keep your drives and data safe and secure.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of USB Disk Security 6.2.

Occupy Denver: Protester Corey Donahue's strangest moments with law enforcement
This week's cover story subject, Occupy Denver protester and medical marijuana voice Corey Donahue, has cornered his role in Denver activism through strategies that are occasionally illegal and never boring. Say what you like about him, (Occupy Denver's Twitter account called him out this morning), but the man stays busy. In honor of his appearance on our cover, Westword looked into the probable cause statements regarding his Occupy Denver arrests -- and we present you with the strangest excerpts below.
Corey Donahue Probable Cause statement 10-14
The first entry on our list marks Donahue's original arrest for the occupation, when he was taken in for unlawful conduct on state property and resisting arrest on October 14, the night of Occupy Denver's first eviction. According to the statement that resulted, the MMA-trained fighter caused a bit of a ruckus during his arrest, going so far as to tell the advising officer in the situation to either "Fuck off" or "Fuck yourself." (The first option is crossed out in favor of the second.)
"It took four officers including myself to cuff Mr. Donahue as he was pulling his hands out of the flex cuffs. As trooper Richards and I escorted Mr. Donahue to the arrest center, Mr. Donahue quit walking... Mr. Donahue stated he wanted to struggle to get out of the cuffs... After the transport vehicle arrived, Mr. Donahue was loaded by four officers into the vehicle."
Donahue Probable Cause Statement 10/15
The next one comes only one day later, when Donahue was arrested for unlawful sexual contact when he allegedly touched a Channel 4 reporter's genitals during a police raid on the encampment. Donahue has shared his side of the story in the past, but this report takes a more step-by-step approach to the incident.
"Donahue then reached towards (name redacted) and with an open hand grabbed his genitals... and said 'nut job!' (Name) stated that Donahue did not have his permission to touch him in any way nor was the touching consensual... (Name) said he never met Donahue prior to the incident nor did he know him at the time of the incident.
Corey Donahue/Occupy Denver Statement of Probable Cause
Judging by our third statement, Donahue's interactions with law enforcement have continued to follow a similar track in recent weeks. His latest arrest for inciting a riot and obstruction of justice on October 13 is accompanied by a curious sequence of events that begins, again, with cussing.
"Donahue stood in front of her police car and told numerous protesters 'Let's block these motherfuckers in!' As the aggressive and hostile crowd circled around me, I handcuffed the suspect, who was identified as Donahue... Because of the actions of Donahue inciting the riot, multiple officers, including state patrol, were called in to assist restoring order. Two state patrol officers were seriously injured during the ensuing riot, which was started by and encouraged by Donahue. After being handcuffed, (when) Donahue was being walked to (the) police car, Donahue continued to yell at the crowd."

So could you describe to me the type of lace again? I want to make sure I have this all right. |
Case in point. |
So could you describe to me the type of lace again? I want to make sure I have this all right. |
My friend Jeff (who is also your friend Jeff) urged me to share a story with you.
Picture it: East Lansing, fall semester of 1999. I'm hosting a party in Capstone Commons off Abbott. Party is going well! I'm so proud of my hosting abilities and consider myself a burgeoning Martha Stewart for the keg set. I go to sleep drunk and happy.
The next morning, I go to get dressed and my top drawer is completely devoid of underpants. So I put on a bikini bottom and went about my day all hungover, and skeeved out.
I don't know why it never occurred to me to report it. I'm retroactively pissed at myself.
One saving grace in my case: my thieves failed to check the over-stuffed hamper. It only took me two days of various bathing suit underwear to get around to doing that laundry.
Now I want to know which Jeff this is! There are a few.
Also, this is now one of my favorite underpants stories and love that this even exists. And perhaps we should re-think the safety at MSU? Just saying.
It is one Jeffrey F. Karzen. The F stands for Fun. Or Ferb.
