No one has picked up on the bigSTORY concepts faster than Ron Finley, known around the world as The Gangsta Gardener, a leader in the urban gardening and food justice movements. We put one of our concepts, 'Levels of Meaning,' to good use in his rehearsals and story analysis for his 2013 TED Talk, which has been viewed at least 3 million times. As his neighbor and friend, we can tell you that his garden is an oasis in our community–a place where people come from near and far to get their hands dirty, and, as he says, "change the community by changing the composition of the soil." We've staged bigSTORY workshops in the abandoned swimming pool that serves as his plant nursery. We've had lots of business meetings in his garden. Ron was a guest speaker at our 2015 bigSTORY Conference. He helped us plant the box gardens in our backyard, as he has helped with hundreds of other gardens in our part of L.A.
Ron and his assistant, Ashleigh Carter, have been working around the clock to save the Gangsta Garden from a land speculator called Strategic Acquisitions. Ron had to raise half a million dollars in less than a month to avoid eviction. With help from friends like Bette Midler, John Foraker the CEO of Annie's Homegrown, Nell Newman, the CEO of Newman's Own, and companies like General Mills–all of whom donated five- and six-figure sums– along with thousands of smaller donations, he did it! Ron raised the half a mil. It is in the hands of the lawyers now, and we hope Strategic Acquisitions recognizes that what Ron has built cannot be replaced by condos, and honors the commitment they made earlier to let him buy back the property.
Last night, the CBS Evening News ran a story about Ron and the Gangsta Garden. bigSTORY gets a bit of play in it, too. The graffiti in the background of the interview the CBS reporter, Mireya Villareal, did with Ron was painted by his son, Del, who's an amazing artist, as part of a bigSTORY workshop. It depicts what we call story formations. The formation Ron used to raise the half a million dollars is an 'Assemblage' narrative, whose structure resembles, fittingly enough, a rhizome plant, putting down shoots and roots, and making underground connections, until a field is filled. In this, the spring of a superbloom in the California deserts, it is completely in sync with nature to see Ron's garden blooming anew in the food desert of South Central L.A.

Really Tight!
Day 21
I have never been known for throwing things away that may still have some useful life left in them. My parents, who had lived through WWII, had the motto, 'Make do and mend', and I am proud to say that I have taken up the banner!
Take for example my laundry basket… I bought it when I got married; a good, solid, fashionably brown, plastic basket. Not only has it served me well transporting my wet washing to the washing line and the dry washing back indoors and storing it until it got ironed, but it has also served as a plaything for my four children. All of them have had enormous fun sitting inside it as toddlers and being picked up and carried around in it. It has been used as a cage and a carriage for make-believe and been filled and emptied of all sorts of strange collections. So, I suppose, it is not surprising that over the last couple of years the handles have been breaking off – and now are finally gone. And – when I say that my youngest child started at University last year and my oldest celebrates her 27th birthday next month – I guess you could be excused for thinking that the time has come for me to buy a new laundry basket! But no…there are many more years of usefulness in it yet!
A couple of weeks ago I discovered a book on knot making in a Charity Shop and bought it because I thought some of the knots illustrated could be used in jewellery making…but looking through it this morning I realised that it held the key to rejuvenating my laundry basket!!
One of the knots – a Braid Knot – seemed to fit the bill, especially when it said that it could be used to replace a broken handle on a suitcase! Why not fix a broken handle on a laundry basket??
Using a spool of hemp garden twine I plaited three lengths together to make it a little thicker. I then went on to create a Braid Knot – which basically is a three strand plait which is executed in the middle of a single length of cord – all very clever stuff! It meant that I had a thick, braided 'handle' and a thinner cord either end for attaching it to the laundry basket. Just to finish them off and make them more secure, I have bound the ends of the braid handles to the remaining stumps of the old basket handles and then 'massaged in' a trail of hot glue gun glue into the braid to make it stiffer and more wear and tear resistant!
I'm quite happy with the results – more functional than beautiful – and I'm not sure my repair will make the basket last another 29 years! – but it makes me smile!! And I'm sure my parents would be very impressed with my resourcefulness!!

I'm tired of reality TV giving people in dysfunctional relationships a platform to showcase and celebrate their troubles. We should not get our entertainment from other people's unhappiness, even if they are willing participants. And I especially don't want to see this on my favorite reality show.They already have.
What do you think? Could a couple like Jonathan and Victoria take the fun out of "The Amazing Race?"
Jonathan admits that he is a jerk.

I was in a state of shock hearing the news from a taxi driver that Tacloban was devastated with lots of dead bodies in the streets because of super typhoon, Yolanda. I immediately called my contact in Cebu and she confirmed. The estimate casualties at that time was only 100 – and I thought that the count was too low for the reported violence happening there. One thing, we did not organize a personal visit mission because even people bringing relief goods are being attacked – until at this very time of writing. I did not know what to say when my sister called me inquiring where she will send her donations. Read this devastating story:
Typhoon Haiyan: Thousands feared dead in Philippines
Around 10,000 people may have died in just one area of the Philippines hit by Typhoon Haiyan, according to officials.One of the worst storms on record, it destroyed homes, schools and an airport in the eastern city of Tacloban.Neighbouring Samar island was also badly affected, with reports of 300 people dead and 2,000 missing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24887337
I remember the science fiction stories that I heard from teenagers at home – that soon, the earth will be filled with zombies. The Tacloban tragedy proved to show that when people are hungry and desperate, these unbelievable stories can happen. May God bless the people of Leyte!

It's difficult to improve on something as close to perfection as ice cream, but Chuck Woodard and Daniel Golik seem to be doing just that with their joint business venture Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream, which opened in September and has been a smashing success.
Their proclivity for industry is nothing new. Graduates of Westminster Christian School, the two young men seemed destined for entrepreneurial careers. Woodard graduated valedictorian in 2010 and is pursuing a degree at the University of Miami. He started his own tee-shirt company, Fresh Don't Fly, while he was in high school. Similarly, Golik still runs his online audio products store, Neuhaus Labs, which he started in college.
"Having come from a family that always encouraged entrepreneurship, I've enjoyed the challenges and rewards of startups from a very young age," says Golik.
When Woodard discovered a fresh angle on an old standard, using nitrogen to flash freeze ice cream resulting in smaller crystals that create incredibly smooth ice cream, he knew he had come across an excellent business opportunity.
"I was confident we could create a premium product and develop a revolutionary brand," he says.
Woodard approached Golik, whom he became friends with on a school-related mission trip.
"Chuck's idea to use liquid nitrogen seemed like it could develop into a great concept and having worked briefly in food and beverage, I was very interested in developing it with him," says Golik.
They opened a shop at 8271 SW 124 St. directly across from Pinecrest Park.
"We looked for the right location for a long time," says Woodard. "Both of us grew up in this area and we felt comfortable marketing to the schools and sports organizations here." Their shop is a sight to behold. The exterior boasts a large, bold and angular sign above a modern style storefront.
There is plenty of seating inside and out. On the service side of the counter are large, complex-looking machines set up beneath a list of ingredients on the back wall cleverly made to look like the periodic table. When their well-groomed staff custom-makes each order of ice cream, the machines emit steam and make amusing noises, ensuring those who stay to enjoy their ice cream inside have plenty of entertainment.
"We thought in-depth about what we did not like about existing ice cream stores and sought ways to fix the issues," says Woodard.
"We tried to improve on the traditional ice cream experience from every angle possible."
It's not all just an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere and creamier ice cream, however. What's an ice cream shop without choice? There are endless combinations of all-natural flavors and toppings, from strawberry topped with maraschino cherries and granola to chocolate peanut butter with biscotti and gummy bears. Throw in the option to substitute low-fat frozen yogurt and imagination may be a customer's only limit.
Looking towards the future, the two friends and business partners seem eager to take on new challenges.
"My advice for up and coming entrepreneurs is to be aware of and try to minimize your risks, but in the end, if you truly believe in it, follow your heart and take the risk in spite of what others may say," says Woodard.
Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream is open Monday through Friday at 2 p.m. and at 12 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For more information, go to www.chillnicecream.com, send email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 786-732-6988.

"The media attention has all gone to the political wing," said James R. Kelly, a professor of sociology at Fordham University in New York who has written about the history of abortion in America. "But the first national organizations in the movement were not political; they were service groups that provided direct aid to women so they would not abort. These are low-key and hidden, but they were always there and had more volunteers than the political side."The methods are rather deceptive:
... Woman's Choice is designed to look and feel like a medical center, not a religion-based organization with an agenda. Becky Edmondson, the executive director, said the center chose the look and name to reach women who were bombarded with pressures to abort and might think they had no other choice.
If callers ask how much the center charges to perform an abortion, Lisa Arnold, a counselor and leader of the postabortion group, said: "I say, 'It changes, but why don't you come in for an ultrasound and we'll talk about it.' You don't want to deceive them, but you want a chance to talk to them." Once women come to the center, staff members - who oppose abortion even in cases involving rape and incest - encourage them to make further appointments, and refer them to doctors who share the center's views on abortion.

"I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it's very difficult to find anyone.'
I should think so — in these parts! We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!"
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
Arriving in the land of the Hobbits, the one thing i could not do was leave without a visit to the famous Hobbiton. My birthday was a month after i landed and what better present to myself than to have a trip to visit the film set of one of my favourite books of all time, the book i reread every few years.
We hired a car and drove the four hours out of Auckland arriving for a lovely lunch in Rotorua and it started to rain. It rained on and off all day and evening, luckily stopping for long enough to let us get photographs without the useful but unsightly green umbrellas they provided.
We had a great guide who gave us lots of facts and information about the set, films and filming process. We had loads of time to walk around and take LOTS of pictures.
We went for the tour, dinner and candle lit tour option which was more expensive but worth every cent! the food we got was amazing and there was plenty of it as well. The tables were laid out Hobbit feast style and you just helped yourself to whatever you wanted and there was plenty to go around.
After dinner we got taken on another tour with lanterns and got a chance to see Hobbiton all lit up. I would definitely go again.

Note: You will hear sound 37 seconds into the film.
Humanity has endured a great many wartime atrocities since 1937, but to this day, if you think of an artwork born of one such event, you'll more than likely still think of Guernica. Pablo Picasso's large black-and-white canvas, which he began painting less than a month after the aerial bombing during the Spanish Civil War of the small Basque town which gave it its name, renders the horror of sudden, thorough destruction in a way nobody had ever seen before, or has seen again since.
"When I visited the town the whole of it was a horrible sight, flaming from end to end. The reflection of the flames could be seen in the clouds of smoke above the mountains from 10 miles away," wrote The Times' war correspondent George Steer, in the report that moved Picasso to take on the subject of Guernica for the mural the Spanish Republican government had commissioned for the 1937 World's Fair. "Throughout the night houses were falling until the streets became long heaps of red impenetrable debris."
In 1950, both Guernica and Guernica inspired an equally haunting short film of the same name [part one, part two] by Alain Resnais and Robert Hessens. In black and white just like Picasso's painting, the picture uses nightmarish cutting to combine imagery from Guernica and other artistic sources, a score by Guy Bernard, and the poem "Victory of Guernica" by Paul Éluard. "You hold the flame between your fingers and paint like a fire," said the poet to the painter during their close friendship in the years after the bombing.
Resnais, who would go on to direct such classics of French cinema as Hiroshima mon amour (another study of an aftermath) and Last Year at Marienbad, only just ended his long and distinguished filmmaking career when he died last year. But in 1950, his career had only just begun, his first forays into film having come in the form of short documentaries on working artists in the mid-1940s. Those led to a commission to do one on the paintings of Van Gogh for a Paris exhibition, which led to one on Gauguin, which led to Guernica. Clearly, Resnais had the tendency to unite the arts in his work from the very beginning, and many of his fans would say it served him well to the end.

les légumes
I'm in Lyon at the moment, in a very posh hotel (here on business, hehe).
My French is rusty, to say the least. But I'm making an effort, and so just about got through my entire meal last night without speaking English
Then the waiter appeared with a shot glass of something green and moussey looking. I didn't really catch any of what he said, other than that I should eat it and say if I like it...
Had a few spoonfuls, but couldn't quite place the taste So I asked. Eventually we got as far as "comme un chou-fleur... mais le vert...?". So that would be broccoli then (le brocoli, apparently). Je n'aime pas le brocoli.
Today's lunch seemed to involve lots of mussels, anchovies, mushrooms and courgettes. In shot glasses. Yuck! I ate lots of different puddings instead, which were much tastier.

Hi Caroline,
I just wanted to thank you for a fantastic stay.
India House was everything we hoped for and then some. The place is absolutely fantastic, the peace and quiet, the amazing attention to detail in everything from the rooms, the (amazing) sofa, the kitchen (and the appliances). It was a combination of luxury and relaxation that is very hard to come by.
We will certainly recommend it to anyone headed towards Cape Town!

Listen to the full episode on why these are the best exercises for stability ball and how to get the most effective workouts using these exercises!
MotivationIn part 2 of the 4-Part program to increase your self esteem and Banish Your Inner Bully, we focus on how to recognize and acknowledge your own successes!
- Identify your successes.
- Be a Victor.
- Be thankful.
- Help others.
- Accept compliments.
NutritionThe holidays are here, which means fitting into clothes that don't fit and getting there fast! You may go low carb to get the result you want. Although I don't agree with this tactic, I know you'll probably do it anyway! So here are three tips when doing low carb:
- Tip #1 Increase Your Protein
- Tip #2 Get Enough of The Right Fats You'll also need to track your fats to balance your body and energy. Of course, the fats MUST come from healthy sources such as:
Low-carb diets cut out a huge portion of calories, so you need to make up the difference with proteins and the right fats. If you don't increase your protein intake sufficiently, your body will catabolize. This means it will feed upon it self, using muscle instead of fat for energy and ultimately ruin your metabolism! Think about increasing your current protein level by 20-50% that means is you currently have
- -omega-3s
(fish and fish oil)
-medium chain triglycerides (MCTs like coconut oil)
-monounsaturated fats (olive oil and avocado, for example).
- Listen to the episode to hear how this works with your body for fat loss!
- Tip #3: Take Advantage of Caffeine
This one isn't a "mistake" since using caffeine is a personal preference. Yet, supplementing with caffeine pre-workout when on a low-carb diet can give you a major boost and accelerate fat loss.
- Larger caffeine doses may have even greater performance-enhancing effects, if you can tolerate them.
- The Caffeine Dosage used in studies for such results was 8 mg/kg/body weight.
- Caffeine is a way of improving performance when your energy is low due to a low carb diet.

A hiker on Cowles Mountain in San Carlos suffered an ankle injury Thursday afternoon, requiring helicopter transportation to safe ground.
The hiker is conscious and breathing and has been taken to a nearby hospital, according to San Diego Fire-Rescue officials.
The hiker was transported by helicopter to Mast Blvd, where an ambulance awaited rescuers.
The trail is located in Mission Trails Regional Park on Golfcrest and Navajo Dr. The mountain is known for its swift elevation gains and challenging trails, though the length of the main trail is 1.5 miles.
The hiker was approximately three-quarters of the way up the mountain when the injury occurred.
"Don't underestimate the steepness of the hike," warned one Yelp.com reviewer. "There is a healthy slope the whole way with some portions that require careful footwork.

Does it live up to the hype? Of course it doesn't - it couldn't possibly. As David Platt, a computer science professor at Harvard University, remarked to Reuters: "God himself could not design a device that could live up to all the hype."
But, when you separate the wheat from the chaff, fact from fiction, hope from hype, it turns out the iPhone really is an amazing product given all that it's required to do. Here are five things I noticed after using the phone last week:
Screen idol
The iPhone offers an amazing resolution, with a clear, bright screen, and organic-looking buttons and an interface with all kinds of visual cues to let you know what you can and can't do. For example, when viewing photos, you scroll with a finger flick to the left and right. But what happens when you try to scroll up and down? If nothing happened, you'd think there was something wrong. So instead, Apple has made it so the image moves up a couple of centimetres but 'bounces' quickly back down. In other words, it lets you know the phone recognised your action but also shows you the action cannot be done. Also, the 'finger pinch' action for zooming in on things will make you smile the first few times you do it.
Video to (finally) go
I have always said that I can't be bothered watching videos on my iPod video - at 2.5in, the screen is just too small. But now that the iPhone offers a 3.5in screen that offers widescreen viewing? I will happily leave my laptop in the overhead bin on long flights and watch movies and TV shows on the iPhone. They look that good.
Living on the EDGE
For me, the most important feature of the iPhone is the web browsing - and that's where a lot of people will be disappointed.
AT&T's EDGE network is as slow as everyone says it is - going to even the simplest web page takes minutes. But if you are on a Wi-Fi network, things are relatively speedy.
Make no mistake, even if Apple claims the experience is not a 'watered down version' of the internet, it most certainly is. There are a lot of things we take for granted, internet wise, that the iPhone can't do and, if those things are important to you, this may not be the browsing experience you are looking for.
So you're not going to throw away your laptop in favour of browsing on the iPhone. But you will use the web features for quick information hits while you're in an airport, stuck on a bus, in class, and so forth. It is fun, easy, and organic.
Syncing sensation
I was disappointed to learn that the iPhone will not wirelessly sync with your Mac but syncing is still fairly easy. As with your iPod, just connecting your iPhone begins the simple process.
Picture this
Apple has next to no information regarding the features of the iPhone's camera - and for good reason. It's 'just' a 2-megapixel camera phone with all the limitations of any other camera phone - it has no flash, no zoom and, while the entire screen becomes the viewfinder (making pictures look great), it does a poor job of capturing motion or images in low-light conditions.
Final impression
Is the iPhone revolutionary? Apple says so, and it is - if you think a mobile phone, web browser and iPod all combined are revolutionary.
But it goes further than that. A lot of people believe the iPhone is another platform for Apple. In that regard, it will be a revolution for Apple and open a whole other market for the company.
The iPhone is not the 'Perfect Device'. But it is a cool piece of technology that does a lot of things surprisingly well. And, for those of you waiting for 'Version 2.0', it will only get better.

About the good Dutch
The nationalist Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) launched a website on which they collect complaints about the bad Poles disturbing the peace and prosperity of the Dutch. The idea is stupid because on the Internet you can anonymously enter any nonsense and the legal party's seal will accredit it. I do not think the idea is worthy of the highest Polish authorities' fury because its risk is small. The Dutch are a very peaceful nation and deserve a different reaction.
Here is my suggestion – "Good Dutchman". I encourage the Poles, Bulgarians, Romanians and others who have visited this country and know its people, to write in comments under this entry 2-3 sentences about their experiences. I believe that the vast majority of them is positive. Let's put together those who think positively about each other against those who want to glorify the stench.
Here is my first comment:
I came to the Netherlands in 1975. I was hitchhiking, and in places where I couldn't do it – I was cycling. At the entrance to highway cars were not allowed to stop. So I got caught by the police, fined (5 guilders) and taken together with the bike in a place where it was possible to thumb a ride.Author : Marek Siwiec MEP
Member States, Social Europe & Jobs
The Dutch may be a very loud, stubborn and know-it-all bunch (at least compared to the Belgians), but to be honest doing business with them is the best in the world. What a Dutchman promises, he will always deliver. They are very tough negotiators, but once you have a deal with them, you will get value for your money for sure. This trustworthiness is the same in friendships, they may tell you things you do not want to hear, but they will stand by you when you are in need. All my Dutch (and Polish, Bulgarian, Romanian, etc) friends are great people!!! Thanks for this initiative Mr Siwiec!
Dear Marek,
I hope you saw this:
Kind regards,

Too many working families are forced to live in drug-ridden, dangerous areas — neighborhoods without decent places for kids to play. It's no way to have to live, but people without much money have very few choices. And little hope.
Our long-time client Community Dynamics had a vision for an affordable community: a real neighborhood. One where you could walk. Where cars were something you put away for the weekend. Where you would know your neighbor, and your neighbor's neighbor.
With the help of the City of Oxnard, they built that vision. They narrowed the streets and designed facades that were dominated by friendly front porches instead of garage doors. Then they asked us to help them tell a 95% Hispanic market about it.
We named the community El Paseo for the sociable evening walks that form the heartbeat of life in Mediterranean and South American cultures. We created a family-friendly, colorful identity. And we followed it through with a complete, consistent program of signage, sales office graphics and advertising that made our audience feel very much at home.
The result: At about 24 homes per month, El Paseo became one of the fastest-selling affordable communities in the nation, And working families have a friendly, beautiful neighborhood in which to raise their kids.

DAVID Beckham and director Guy Ritchie have been spotted in the Highlands filming an advert for Scotch whisky.
The pair were in Wester Ross as shooting began on a commercial for Haig Club Single Grain Scotch whisky.
In April it was announced that football legend Becks and media guru Simon Fuller were teaming up with drinks giant Diageo to launch the new Scotch whisky.
A month later, Becks put the people of Edinburgh on high alert after filming at a pub in the capital's Hanover Street.
Diageo said the new whisky, called Haig Club, "is a new innovation from the House of Haig, Scotland's oldest grain whisky dynasty and makers of Haig Blended Scotch Whisky and Dimple Scotch Whisky".
The drinks company added: "Beckham and Fuller will play a fundamental role in developing the brand, its strategy and positioning.
"Beckham will also lead the promotion of a responsible drinking programme for Haig Club, which is at the heart of the brand".

I didn't have a big enough zipper to do the sizes on the tutorial so I just used their method of installing the zipper and winged it from there. I did straight line quilting on the front.
And decided to try wavy lines on the back.
The lining.
The measurements are a little funny: 6" tall x 5" wide x 2 1/2" deep but it makes a cute, functional pouch.

Today post is a quick one. This is just another take on the Halloween Half Moons manicure that I posted about a week ago. All I did was add black tips in the first picture, and in the second I outlined the tip with silver. I think I'm a fan of picture #1 though. Not quite as busy. What do you think?
Again, apologies for the poor pictures. The light in my cabin is poor at best. Over the month of November, I'm going to aim to stockpile posts and get good pictures, so that December's posts from the boat aren't quite so bad. Feel free to send me suggestions of what you'd like to see done. I have tons of tiny brush's at home, so there will be more hand-painted intricate artwork next time. Bear with me while i try to juggle blogging offshore :) Happy Halloween! Stay safe out there!

Ron Paul Encounter: Bedford Village Inn 12-19-07
Ron Paul spoke this morning at the Bedford Village Inn in a continuation of the Politics and Eggs Candidate Series. During his stump speech Paul spoke at length about the economic crisis facing the United States. While speaking about the Iraq war Paul gave his typical pitch to the unconstitutional nature of the war, the amount of lives and dollars that are being needlessly wasted, and also called upon his fellow Republican candidates to come out against a nuclear first-strike with Iran. Erin Placey, of the American Friends Service Committee, was able to ask Congressman Paul to expand on this allusion to nuclear weapons.
Erin: First of all thank you for calling on your fellow running mates to commit to a no-first strike policy. I would like you to speak a little about the connections between nuclear power and the spread of this technology in terms of the growing concern of nuclear weapons proliferation – and also our constitutional commitments to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty?
Paul: I don't believe that we should commit to just a not first nuclear strike policy, but also extend that to conventional weapons. I am for nuclear power. It is clean, it poses no real threat to anyone, and we should be using more of it. Government needs to get their hands out of the industry and let them regulate. Nuclear weapons are another matter. We are not following the NPT while forcing others to adhere to the terms. With the recent news that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 they are perfectly within the guidelines of the NPT by pursing peaceful nuclear technology. Iran is actually following the NPT more closely than the United States. We need to commit to the same standards that we are imposing on other countries and I think that if Iran wants to have nuclear power we have no business telling them no.

While at a lunch at the Merrimack Cafe in Manchester with Ron Paul, I was able to ask him his opinion on how to prevent war in Iran. He stated he, as president, would pull the navy away from Iran's coast and enter into diplomatic dialogue with Iran's leaders.
I was then able to discuss nuclear weapons with Dr. Paul. He does not support dropping The Bomb onto Iran. While he does not support total, worldwide abolition, he is in support of dramatically reducing the number of nuclear weapons in US possession.

Ron Paul (Republican–Texas) held a town hall style meeting Saturday, 9/29 at New England College in Henniker. About fifty attended.
Paul depicted himself as a "strict constitutioinalist", meaning extreme financial restrictiveness–basically, you are on your own, in terms of programs like assisting college students with tuition, or indigent people needing financial assistance.
With regard to the war in Iraq, he stated he favors non-interventionist foreign policy, so has opposed the war from the start. He sees the US taking on the role of international police person as a bad thing, and does not favor "nation building" efforts. Likewise, he acknowledges our intervention in Iraq as largely based on corporate greed, and big oil.
As to nuclear arms, he states it is a waste of our resources to maintain thousands of missiles. He would, however, favor retaining "some" as deterrent.
Asked about instituting a cabinet-level Department of Peace, he stated he had not made up his mind about that, but also said a "policy of peace"–his words–by existing bodies like the State Department made sense.

At the Republican Debates at UNH earlier this week, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul sparred over what is more important: getting out now or getting out after victory.
Posted in Paul (R), Vote Issues: Iraq, Vote Issues: Nuclear on August 24, 2007| 1 Comment »
Question: Do you support nuclear abolition?
Paul: responded with a question of his own: "How many nuclear weapons do we have now?"
Questioner: "Around 10,000 warheads."
Paul: 10,000? How many times can you destroy the world with that?"
Questioner then reports: In the following conversation, Ron Paul told me that we had "way too many", and that he would build no more weapons, that he'd take the first strike option off of the table, and that he would talk to generals and other military experts first, "but several hundred ought to do."
Questioner asked Doctor Paul what happened to the "Peace Dividend", and what he'd do to fight wasteful Pentagon spending, and to end Cold War programs. He said, "Change foreign policy." He added that, "The Military Industrial Complex is a problem," and explained that they effectively forced us to keep spending on the weapon programs. He explained that we have created a powder keg in the Middle East, and that we need to end the Iraq War.
Earlier in the evening, he admitted that he might not be able to stop people from killing each other, but that he could stop them from killing Americans. When also asked about how he was planning on getting congress to support efforts to reduce the national deficit, he started by explaining that as the Commander and Chief, he could remove soldiers from and immediately start saving billions of dollars.
In explaining the problems in the Middle East, he included a reference to the recent 50 billion dollars in loans and grants given to a Middle Eastern country, and asked if it were necessary. He explained that the cost of the weapons means "big bucks to the Military Industrial Complex." He told me that there is no peace dividend, because the war on terror was scaled up by the Military Industrial Complex, and explained that for the Military Industrial Complex to keep working, "There's always got to be an enemy."

Why Jill Caroll wears hijab, is she a Muslim?
A US reporter held hostage in Iraq for more than two months has been freed.
Jill Carroll, who works for the Boston-based Christian Science Monitor, was abducted by unknown gunmen in west Baghdad on 7 January.
Iraqi police say she was released at the offices of the Iraqi Islamic Party in western Baghdad and was said to be in good health.
Ms Carroll's release comes a week after the freeing of three other Western hostages, a Briton and two Canadians.
An Iraqi government source quoted by Reuters news agency said that Ms Carroll was being cared for in Baghdad's heavily guarded government compound, the Green Zone.
Her captors, who called themselves the Revenge Brigades, had demanded the release of all women detainees in Iraq.
They had threatened to execute her if their demands were not met by a 26 February deadline.
She appeared in three video-taped statements during her period in captivity, pleading for the US and Iraqi authorities to meet the kidnappers' demands.
'Living a nightmare'
Ms Carroll, 28, is the fourth Western hostage being held in Iraq to be freed in eight days.
Last week Briton Norman Kember and Canadians James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden, were freed from a house west of Baghdad.
Ms Carroll's twin sister pleaded for her release on the Saudi-owned TV network al-Arabiya on Wednesday.
"I've been living a nightmare, worrying if she is hurt or ill," Katie Carroll said.
She said her sister "has many Iraqi friends, and respects their culture. My sister has always had special praise for the strength and resilience of Iraqi women and mothers".
At least 230 foreigners, and thousands of Iraqis, have been taken hostage in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003.
About 50 of the foreigners have been killed by their captors and the whereabouts of another 90, including six Americans, remain unknown.
Ms Carroll was kidnapped in Baghdad's western Adil district while going to interview the senior Sunni Arab politician Adnan al-Dulaimi.
Her driver escaped the kidnappers, but her interpreter was killed.
Why Jill Caroll wears hijab, is she a Muslim?
But the way she wears the hijab, is so religious.. Muslims know what do I mean. She dont have to wear it fully and neatly as if she is an ustazah (religious teacher)

The cheap, easy, surefire way to make biochar is stuff any size metal container with any kind of biomass, close the container with a tight lid and toss it in a big fire. To avoid deforming the container, it's wise to put at least one hole in it to allow pyrolysis gases to escape. The gas pressure generated may necessitate adding a few screws, clamps or other devices to hold the lid on.
He tossed his trash can of sticks and bark into the furnace and closed the door. After a few minutes smoke exiting the furnace chimney thickened and lightened as water was evaporated out of the moist wood. Soon this smoke thinned, and curious Lonnie opened the furnace firedoor to see what was occuring. What confronted his eyes ignited a real thrill to his pyromania.
As Lonnie snapped photos, this flaming display gradually increased in intensity and size, and the thin metal of the trash can crumple and deform. A few spots even became plastic and began to melt, and Lonnie became concerned he had unleashed a chain reaction he did not know how to control.
When even those flares ceased, Lonnie put on heavy leather gloves, reached in the wood furnace to remove the trash can. He set it down on the flagstone in front of the furnace, believing the fireworks were over. He was startled when the can erupted with a new halo of flames flickering out from beneath he lid, although much more subdued than the extreme outburst in the furnace.
This afterburn declined quickly. When it was obvious no more flames were likely, Lonnie pried the lid of the can, and discovered his biomass was nicely, thoroughly charred. He had made his first batch of biochar. He was impressed how easy it was, and his mind immediately set off designing more functional equipment and operating procedures. He hadn't had this much fun with fire in quite a few years.
Fired up with inspiration, Lonnie searched around his farm and found a 20-gallon half barrelŚblue, with a tight lid and ring clamp. This was loaded with a new batch of biomass, closed, clamped, and tossed into the woodfurnace firebox.
In a few minutes, white smoke again indicated steam boiling out of the biomass. A few more minutes and this smoke ignited and began to burn with flickering orange and yellow flames. With rapt fascination and frequent photo shutters, Lonnie watched the fiery halo again grow in a ring around the barrel lid.

As if the Manson family was not a creepy enough topic, Kathleen McKenna has readers changing their bloomers with the paranormal spin she puts on the tale. First off, with a topic as emotionally charged as the Manson murders, it would be easy for an author to slip into camp with a fictionalized account. But McKenna does a brilliant job of keeping the story pretty simple. The historical background serves as a solid foundation, but the author builds a rich, decadent, mansion of a story on top of that solid foundation. I thought the plot twists and turns were smart, and clever, and while I had some inkling of the general direction, the specifics kept me on the edge of my seat.
As always, McKenna gives us a well developed cast of characters. I was so intrigued by Izzy as a character, and found myself wondering about her sanity and her humanity at times. Izzy is a flawed woman, no doubt, that that is what makes her such a realistic character. My heart broke for her a little, once the scarieness of the tale passed, and it started beating again. I also liked the somewhat ambiguous ending. We are never really sure what the truth of the matter is.
McKenna is a brilliant storyteller, and once again, I find myself fascinated with the tales that serve as her inspiration. I spent a day or two watching videos of Manson family members after reading this book. And each time I watched Susan Atkins speak, I could not help but think that much of this book might not be fiction. If you want a good scare, this book clearly delivers. It will appeal to those who like modern historical fiction, paranormal fiction, or those like me who are just have a morbid curiosity.

A cheap SLS free facial polish
I then discovered Neutrogena Visibly Clear Blackhead eliminating scrub which I reviewed for you all in my post here, this did work pretty good but didn't remove as much dry skin as I had hoped. When looking at the ingredients one day, I realised it actually contained methylisothiazolinone. This ingredient has been reported by the British Association of Dermatologists to cause allergic reactions to people with sensitive skin which in turn causes redness and itching. This is another ingredient I am trying to avoid as my skin is so sensitive, that I just can not take the risk anymore. I will try anything to try to tone down my red inflamed skin at the moment. I need to try to use products that are as natural as possible.
I was food shopping in Waitrose and I came across their own skincare range called 'Pure'. After looking through the products, I came across a facial polish.
The Pure Face polish contains natural ingredients, is fragrance free and is suitable for sensitive skin. As it contains natural ingredients it doesn't contain either of the two ingredients above. After having a quick look online at some of the reviews, I decided to buy it. The fact it was only £2.99 was even more of a bonus.
The ingredients are - Sodium Chloride, Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Coconut Oil and Tocopheryl Acetate.
I have used the facial polish as a face scrub twice a week for 3 weeks now and I think it is amazing for the money. It helps remove dead skin cells and leaves my skin looking radiant with no sign of skin irritation at all.
I don't really notice much of a smell to it, you do get a slight smell of coconut oil but that is about it. The texture is quite greasy and and has very small exfoliator beads throughout the product to help remove the dull dry skin on your face.
The only thing I will warn people who are considering buying this is that if you have oily skin, make sure you wash your face thoroughly after use as the polish leaves a small layer of oil on your skin afterwards. This is perfect for my dry skin and I see this as a bonus but if your skin is more on the oily side, be careful of this.
I admit this doesn't remove my dry skin as much as my St Ives Scrub did, but I would never go back, I do not want to aggravate my skin anymore.
If you are looking for a nice cheap facial scrub, the Waitrose Face Polish is the one to try. You won't regret it.
Has anyone else used anything from the Waitrose Pure range before?
Love Lauren

Have you considered using a chemical exfoliant instead of a physical one? They are sometimes less irritating to the skin.ReplyDelete

Around Town:
The fish connoisseurs at Weird Fish (2199 Mission at 18th St.) are getting ready to spawn! The former Wang Fat Market next door is undergoing a transformation into what will soon be a wine bar and cafe called The Corner. The Dish caught up with Timothy Holt, Weird Fish's man with the plan, before he headed to Italy for a little research and development. "The cafe will be very influenced by my trip," says Holt, who expects The Corner to open at the end of summer. "We'll have a baker, small plates, cheeses. There's going to be music, outside seating."
"I want to have a kind of winebar feel," he continues. "I hate calling it that, but in terms of the crowd, in terms of making people feel comfortable... but I don't want to call it lowbrow either. It's going to be for everyone. The music is going to be there - something real mellow - the vibe is going to be there. The music and the nighttime are definitely going to be a huge part of it."
Join the godfather of contemporary Italian cuisine and American Iron Chef, Mario Batali, and local bookseller Book Passage for a luncheon at Il Fornaio (1265 Battery at Greenwich) this Monday, May 5. The superstar chef and author of Molto Italiano will be plugging Italian Grill, his newest creation, while participants tuck into a special meal with selections from Il Fornaio's menu. All guests also receive a copy of the book. The event kicks off at noon. $125 per person. For reservations, visit www.bookpassage.com.

What Makes our Care Special?
We're not the biggest. Yet, we are among the best. We are an AAHA-Accredited small animal clinic. Our two veterinarians have over 40 years of experience between them. We hire Licensed Veterinary Technicians and Staff with tons of animal experience. We keep current, we listen, we learn, and we continually strive to provide thorough, compassionate general care, in a very special way! You will notice right away what a friendly, inviting practice this is.
Our hospital features separate dog and cat entrances, keeping waiting room stress at a minimum.
We always try to schedule at least 30 minutes for each appointment. You will have plenty of time to ask any questions about your pet's health.
Our cat exam room has a bird viewing window. Clients call it "cat television".
We all love what we do and it shows!
We ask that you schedule an appointment in advance, so that we can schedule one of our two veterinarians and the staff to provide your pet with optimum care. Our receptionists and team will attempt to accommodate all requests to the best of our ability. Call (207) 825-2105 or email [email protected]
Emergency & Urgent Care
Emergencies happen! Please TRY TO CALL AHEAD, even if you are on your way here. Our team is equipped to deal with most emergencies, but your call can make all of the difference in the outcome, should we need to call back our team from lunch or a meeting to be here for your pet's emergency.
We are always available for urgent care when the condition is not life-threatening. If you feel your pet needs to be seen for a painful ear infection, excessive itchiness, lameness, or stomach upset, our veterinarians and staff absolutely will work to "squeeze" you in between scheduled appointments. When you arrive, our receptionists will be able to give you an estimate on how long you may have to wait in order to be seen.

One thing I quickly realized on our cruise in 2014 to Alaska is that it is really challenging to take pictures from a moving boat when the light is 'right' for landscape photography (hour before/after sunrise or sunset). Of course I knew this before going on the trip but didn't realize what a challenge it would present. Additionally, we were at the mercy of the boat for what the scene was when we awoke in the morning. This presented even MORE of a challenge than the moving boat because if, when the alarm went off in the morning, we were in an uninteresting part of the ocean or there wasn't anything to really photograph on the horizon then we were essentially 'wasting' the good light for the day.
There were a few days – like the one below – where the alarm went off and we were fortunate to be at a nice spot along the Alaskan coastline where there were mountains, fog, mist and imposing clouds. I had to crank the ISO up in this shot to capture it with a shutter speed fast enough (1/160th of a second) to minimize any of the blur from the boat moving. This isn't as sharp as I'd like it to be but given all the circumstances working against me I was pretty happy with it.
Misty Mountains (Alaska)
We are off to Florida today for a late Christmas celebration. With my wife being a nurse we are now unable to travel during the 'real' holidays because she is often working. It sure did make the holidays a lot less stressful this year.

Amitabh Bachchan scheduled to leave for LA for treatment
Amitabh Bachchan's stomach problem does not want to leave the mega star. The actor even went for two surgeries few months back and then he again had the CT scan recently after he received bad pains in stomach. The abdominal pains have not been leaving Bachchan and making their stay with the actor. He has many film assignments in hands and wants to doll them up but due to these pains, he is unable to do that. Now it has been learnt that Amitabh Bachchan has decided to be treated in foreign land instead of India which is why he is going to Los Angeles for the treatment.
The sources close to the stars reveal that Bachchan will not be able to do any acting work till September as per the advices by the doctors. The new assignments too will be taken up post September 2012. Post the operation in February this year, Amitabh felt a bad pain which is why he went for having the CT scan.
The source adds that he is not doing any shooting presently and is scheduled to leave for the US in May or June. Over there he will undergo few tests and if required, he will be operated. But before leaving for the US, Amitabh will fulfill his commitment to Rohit Shetty's film Bol Bachchan which stars his son Abhishek Bachchan and Ajay Devgan in the leads. The movie is being produced by Ajay Devgan who is a family and also Bachchan's son Abhishek is there in the cast, Amitabh cannot leave the project. His role in the movie is worthwhile and for the shooting, it will take only couple of days.
Amitabh has many projects lined up like Ram Gopal Verma's Sarkar 3 and Shoojit Sircar's Johnny Mastana. We wish Mr. Bachchan speedy recovery.
