How Marines at war did Thanksgiving

Holidays in Afghanistan winding down after 12 years of combat

Camp Leatherneck, headquarters for the Marine command in southwestern Afghanistan, is about as bleak as ever on Thanksgiving Day. Concrete barriers under a leaden sky. Tents and metal shipping containers dusted with fine sand. And a sound track of generators and military trucks droning half a world away from home.

But a man beamed broadly as he trotted ahead of throngs of troops Thursday for a dawn 5k run honoring the fallen, dressed in what could pass for a skinny turkey suit.

Military personnel deployed in combat said they have much to be grateful for, including camaraderie from fellow troops, support from family and all those care packages from Americans who haven’t forgotten warfighters still on the front lines. After more than 12 years of constant deployments, this might be the last Thanksgiving Day that a significant number of U.S. military personnel spend the holiday at war in Afghanistan.

Combat has set the pace of Marine Corps life for most of his career, said Gunnery Sgt. Brent Culp, a UH-1Y Huey helicopter crew chief. His Thanksgiving Day began with a chat with his wife and three young children back in San Clemente following a night mission helping British forces take down an enemy target.

On Sept. 11, 2001, “Coming into work, obviously they hit the Twin Towers and it’s been go, go, go ever since,” said Culp, who is serving his second Afghanistan tour.

The transition to peacetime will be “weird,” but he welcomes more time with family, including their traditional Thanksgiving Day deer hunt in Sioux Falls, S.D.

When Culp speaks of “My beautiful wife Shasta, my little girl Sierra …” he chokes with tears before he can name his other children. “… Tristan and Hunter,” ages 7, 5, and 2. “I love you. Have a good Thanksgiving,” he said.

Most U.S. combat troops are scheduled to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of next year when the NATO campaign ends.

Less than 60,000 American service members remain, down from the wartime peak of about 100,000.

After the surge, some 20,000 Marines were deployed to southwestern Afghanistan.

About 6,000 are still there among a total of about 11,000 coalition personnel.

All but about a dozen of their 250 bases have been closed or transferred to Afghan National Security Forces.

Negotiations over a residual force of coalition troops remaining after 2014 are ongoing, but the international coalition has already shifted most combat responsibilities to the Afghans.

Other than the ache of homesickness, a special dinner in the chow hall, and the morning turkey trot, the day wasn’t much different from any other Thursday.

Just another 12-hour work shift for Culp and his detachment of Camp Pendleton Marines deployed on a seven-month tour with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 369, where the “bird” that had to be scrubbed and inspected was a Cobra or Huey helicopter.

“Not being around all the department stores, the hype, people running around being crazy, it is just another day,” said Capt. John Grady, a UH-1Y pilot.

The separation from his wife and son gnaws a little harder, Grady added: “Anytime you are away from your family it’s hard. So it doesn’t really matter if it is the holiday or not. But the holiday just nails it home, one extra nail in the coffin, basically.”

Some Marines are grateful to get in a deployment before the war ends, like Lance Cpl. Tyler Cooling: “I actually get the opportunity to say I protect people at home, I protect my family. … It’s not just me out here, but I actually get a hand in doing it.”

The worse it “sucks,” he said, the better the memories: “Everybody is going through it and you all have to come together to at least make it worth it, or not make it suck so much. So you have those bonds.”

Holidays are mile markers helping him count down the return home, said Cpl. Jose Espitia, a mechanic who spent the day swapping transmissions on a helicopter.

Back in Arizona he would be eating Thanksgiving dinner outdoors on North Mountain. In Helmand Province, fellow Marines are family.

“We both struggle together, we laugh together. Obviously we live together, so we see each other all the time,” he said. The camaraderie, “it just keeps building every day.”

Cpl. Miguel Flores is a former San Diego resident serving as an intelligence analyst advising Afghan troops. This is his second Afghanistan tour over the holidays.

Flores was born on Thanksgiving Day. He missed teasing his relatives about coming to his birthday party for turkey this year. Instead he looked forward to standing around the smoke pit with the guys, listening to the colonel’s war stories between puffs of cigars.

“We are all going through the same stuff. We all miss the holidays, significant events out of the year. Just being together with them, being able to have that contact … helps me get through not physically being with (family) during these holidays.”

Master Sgt. Reed Reynolds, from Temecula, operations chief for a combat engineer battalion, said the turkey trot was a reminder of home, “a great opportunity to be able to come out here and mingle with other service members and bring a little holiday cheer.”

“I am thankful, I am absolutely thankful for my wife, for my kids, for my family back home that support me and for God. Just the opportunity to be able to come and serve the great nation of the United States of America,” Reynolds said.

For troops at war on Thanksgiving Day, simply being alive is something to savor.

1st Lt. Brendan Thomson, an intelligence officer from Buffalo, N.Y., serves with a unit responsible for sweeping roads for bombs: “Right now I am with the combat engineers and we all have been safe so far. … I am thankful for that and I hope it continues.”; Twitter @gckovach

Suspected militant, son killed in Thailand's south

HAT YAI, Thailand (AP) — A suspected insurgent and his 6-year-old son were shot dead in Thailand's violence-plagued south, police said Friday.

The man and his son were attacked at a rubber plantation in Bannang Sata distict in Yala province on Thursday, police Col. Chartchai Chanasit said.

More than 5,000 people have been killed in Thailand's three southernmost provinces since an Islamic insurgency flared in 2004.

Police were still investigating the attack and had no suspects. They said Muktar Ali-mama, 31, was a member of an insurgent group and the subject of several arrest warrants, including on murder charges.

Chartchai said villagers found out about the shooting on Thursday evening after the two had gone to work on the plantation. He said Muktar died on the spot and the boy died on the way to the hospital from gunshot wounds in his head and left leg.

In a separate attack in the south, suspected insurgents detonated an improvised bomb at a stadium in Sungai Padi district in Narathiwat province, hurting a police officer and a civilian, according to police Lt. Col. Theerapong Tongduang.

The remote-controlled bomb contained in a gas canister was buried in the stadium's parking lot before a local sports event took place Thursday evening. The explosion also damaged several motorcycles.

Theerapong said authorities believed insurgents were aiming to hurt police officers and civilians attending the sports competition.

The militants mainly target security forces but also kill others, including teachers, who are perceived to be representatives of the government in predominantly Buddhist Thailand.

Artist's rendering of Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. Orion is 26 feet long, or 10 feet shorter than the Apollo space capsule. NASA

The amphibious warship San Diego heads to sea this week to practice recovering the Orion spacecraft, a key step in NASA’s development of a new vehicle for carrying astronauts far beyond Earth and bringing them home safely.

The 26-foot long spacecraft will be released from the flooded well deck of the ship and later reeled back aboard with help from teams in high speed boats. The exercise is a dress rehearsal for a mission in September in which an unmanned Orion will parachute into waters off Baja California after a brief trip into space.

The 26-foot tall Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle is prepared for loading on to the warship San Diego (background) at Naval Base San Diego. NASA

A similar process was used to bring Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts back to Earth. The technique is meant to better handle the forces of re-entry, which will be harder on Orion than they were on the space shuttle, which glided on to a runway.

“This is very retro,” said Michael Generale, recovery operations manager for NASA’s Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle program. “It affords the best protection for the crew.”

NASA is trying to re-establish its ability to send astronauts into space, possibly on a mission to an asteroid or even Mars. The agency lost that capability in 2011 when it ended the space shuttle program. The U.S. now relies on Russia to transport astronauts to the International Space Station.

NASA has been developing variations of Orion since 2005, an effort that’s been slowed by design and money issues, and a lack of certainty about future manned spaceflight. The agency is talking about sending astronauts into space aboard Orion in 2020 or 2021. But that would simply be a test flight.

This week’s test involve repeatedly releasing Orion into the ocean off San Clemente Island, then using a line to haul the spacecraft back to the San Diego, a 684-foot amphibious transport dock that was designed to quickly dispatch Marines to and from shore via landing craft.

“We’re looking to do this is varying conditions, from fairly calm waters to up to 6-foot seas,” said Generale.

The crew of Skylab 2 parachuted into the ocean 820 miles southwest of San Diego on June 22, 1973. The capsule was hoisted aboard the USS Ticonderoga. NASA

“San Diego has a long tradition of involvement in spacecraft splashing down and being recovered here,” said Francis French, education director at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. “Most of the Apollo missions of the late 1960s and early 1970s splashed down close to Hawaii and, while the crews were helicoptered away, the spacecraft were slowly brought by ship to San Diego to be drained of propellant then taken up the coast to Downey, where they had been manufactured.

“Some crews returned directly to San Diego along with the spacecraft – for example, the crews of Skylab, America’s first space station. After the splashdown of the first Skylab mission, the crew were helicoptered from San Diego up the coast to San Clemente, the site of President Nixon’s ‘Western White House’ where they met with the President and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev.”

This column is written by health care experts and is committed to help improve the health of all San Diegans with preventative advice.

Allergies present a huge health challenge for America. Some 50 million people currently suffer from one kind of allergy or another and this includes many millions of children. The burdens an allergy problem can place upon a child can be immense. Allergic disease can lead to missed school, missed work, hospitalization from asthma attacks or anaphylaxis. It can also disrupt daily activities like sports participation and recreational activities.

Patients with food allergies often have to miss out on birthday parties and holiday events since oftentimes foods offered at these events are dangerous for them to consume. And the numbers keep growing. In general, across the board, allergists have been observing a rise in the incidence of allergic disorders. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), food allergies alone increased by 50 percent in children from just 1997 to 2011 and more than 300,000 young people are seen in emergency rooms each year as a result of allergic reactions to food.

The impact of all types of allergies on young people and the parents who seek help for them is significant. Allergy problems cause children to suffer both physically and emotionally. They also result in millions of missed school days per year. Fortunately medical science offers effective ways to identify and treat severe allergies.

First it is important for parents and children to understand what is going on in the body when there is an allergy problem. The human immune system is key to our survival on a daily basis. We constantly interact with countless numbers of germs, foods and substances all around us. The immune system fights back against those things that may do us harm. The immune system routinely reacts to invaders in a variety of ways in order to protect us.

However, for reasons not fully understood, some particular foods and other substances that present no threat to most people can cause major overreactions of the immune system in others. Typically what happens is the immune system in an allergic person will produce antibodies and release histamine into the bloodstream. This leads to the well-known syndrome of irritated eyes, skin, lungs, throat, stomach and nose. This can be mildly uncomfortable, crippling or, in some cases, fatal. Symptoms parents need to be aware of when thinking about their children and possible allergy problems are difficulty breathing, swelling, diarrhea, rashes, coughing, itchiness, stomachaches, vomiting and lightheadedness.

Recent guidelines published by the American Academy of Pediatrics advise exclusive breast-feeding for the first four to six months of life and after that point, culturally appropriate foods may be introduced into the diet (as long as they are not choking hazards). Recent data suggests that there may be a protective effect of early introduction of some foods, but no good evidence supports delayed introduction of foods as being an effective preventative measure.

The sources of most allergy problems are well known today which can make it much easier to control and prevent problems. While it may be impossible to eliminate the allergens entirely, they can be managed as many families have done successfully. Common environmental allergens that many children struggle with include: dust mites, mold, cockroaches, pets and pollen. Common food allergies include cow’s milk, eggs, wheat (bread), soy, fish, shellfish, peanuts and other nuts. Add to all that medicines that may cause an allergic reaction.

Parents who know or suspect that their child has an allergy problem are encouraged to seek help from a board-certified allergist in order to identify the specific allergen or allergens causing the problem and come up with a plan to treat and cope with the challenge. It is important to see a board-certified allergy/immunology specialist to go over a complete history of symptoms and have appropriate testing performed. With food allergies, far too often, testing broad panels of foods and interpretation of tests by non-professionals leads to unnecessary food restrictions and could cause malnutrition, so suspected food allergies should be evaluated by an allergist.

Much can be done right now to help children but parents can also be optimistic about future treatments for allergic disorders and food allergies. There are many research groups around the world that are actively studying new treatment and prevention strategies. Several exciting therapies are currently in clinical trials around the country and could become mainstream treatments in the near future. The key for parents is to be informed and seek help from the right specialist. No child should have to spend significant portions of her or his life struggling and suffering with allergies when the worst effects can most likely be reduced or possibly eliminated entirely.

Wow, this is a dusty blog! I had to bring in the upright vacuum cleaner and the heavy-duty sweeper to even find my way to the panel where one writes new posts.
Practically a whole year has whisked behind me since I’ve posted here. There I was, yelling at the snakes–no, I mean making a deal with the snakes that they would leave me alone–and now it’s a whole year later and time to make another deal with them. (Last year they behaved perfectly, but you can’t count on them remembering from year to year, not after they’ve so recently awakened from their long winter’s nap.)
It’s been a mild, sunny spring, and I am writing a new book. I have a contract for a book I’m calling “The Opposite of Maybe,” and it’s a fun book to write–one filled with love and trouble, which really are the most fun books to write.
I’ve been writing it a long time now, and it misbehaves from time to time, as all books do when one is first beginning to feel one’s way inside the story. My main character, a woman named Julia, at first objected to everything about the story: she argued with me about her name, her relationships, her livelihood. You name it: she thought it should be different.
“Fine,” I told her. I don’t like to fight with characters. If they really feel strongly about something, they usually are right. It’s their story, after all. So we made some compromises, she and I, and then she settled down, but I can see that I’ll have to keep my eye on her throughout the writing of this book. She might be scrappy. Theoretically I love scrappy characters, but sometimes you have to try to reason with them and appeal to their better natures–if they have one.
The book isn’t due until February 15, which sounds like a whole lot of time from now…but truly I do know that it’s just the blink of an eye really. And there are many lovely disruptions between now and then: four grandchildren to play with, a bunch of birthdays and major American holidays, a much-anticipated family vacation in the summer with all of us together making campfires on the beach, visits from friends from far away.
But just now, sitting in a Dunkin’ Donuts, waiting while the oil change place next door flushes the radiator of my Honda, I’m thinking February 15th seems very far away indeed. It’s plenty of time to hear what Julia wants to tell me.

The Kriya Sutras

544 pp, 36 Illustrations, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", Hardcover, ISBN 978-1-877854-54-5, US $75.00

This long awaited book finally sees the light of day, published in eleven languages.

The Siva Sanghita
Sanskrit Texts by Lord Siva
The Satha Chakra
The Brahma Sanghita

342 pp, 39 Illustrations, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", Hardcover, ISBN 978-1-877854-52-1, US $75.00

The Siva Sanghita, the Satha Chakra (the Six Centers) and the Brahma Sanghita are the classic books in Sanskrit literature. These are very important books of the Vedic culture on the scriptural field. The Siva Sanghita explains the Yoga system in the light of Yoga and tantra. The Six Centers provides information how the Kundalini functions and the Brahma Sanghita explains how the Brahma became Brahmana and the Govinda (Krisna) is praised.

In the present edition, we have published all three books in one for the reader's convenience.

Suddenly Silence...Atmastha
The State Beyond Heaven

416 pp, 8 Illustrations, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", Hardcover, ISBN 978-1-877854-51-4, US $75.00

The Yoga Vasistha Ramayan is also a very famous book in Sanskrit literature. Although its title contains the word Ramayana, it is not Ramayan in the conventional sense like the Epic Ramayan.

In fact, it is Vedanta philosophy or the spiritual discipline in the light of Vedanta. Yogi Vasistha is the Guru and Prince Rama is his intelligent disciple. In the court yard of King Dasaratha, Yogi Vasistha lectured eighteen days on prince Rama so that he could attain the complete state of Realization. During these days, he enquired him about his practice. On the last day Rama attained the final Realization.

We have published the entire book in two volumes comprising more than two thousand pages in large format under the title "The Ultimate Book - Yoga Vasistha".

The present edition is an abridged version with selected verses and cheaper edition made available.

Bhagavad Gita in Hindi
Lahiri Mahasay's Interpretations in the Light of Kriya

240 pp, 16 Photographs, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", Hardcover, ISBN 978-1-877854-35-4, US $30.00

This has been translated in the light of Kriya, from Lahiri Mahasay's original interpretation in Bengali, first to English, and now to Hindi.

The Ultimate Book: Yoga Vasistha

2 volumes, 2132 pp, 77 Photographs, 8 1/2 x 10 1/2, Hardcover, ISBN 978-1-877854-50-7, $475

Since the interpretation is in the light of synthesis of Yoga Vedanta, it would be appropriate to define these two words: Yoga and Vedanta in proper perspective in the spiritual light.

Yoga-chitta-vritti-nirodha - Which means "Yoga is a tranquil state of Consciousness when the waves (vrittis) of the heart (chitta) are eliminated (nirodha)". In other words, when the restless waves of the heart are made tranquil, it is a state of Yoga. The restless thoughts or the confused intellect of the heart and mind is dissolved, and then it is a state of Yoga, Sthirattva, eternal Tranquility, and Peace.

Therefore, Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline; it has nothing to do with physical exercises. In reality, the asana (a posture of the body - seating) is a steadfast condition of the mind which consequently shapes the body posture, and so Yoga has nothing to do with the body. It is directly related with the heart and mind. So where is the scope of doing anything with the body? Its primary intention is to dissolve the mind or the intellect and tranquilize the heart.

Now, the word Vedanta; it can be scanned into two words: Veda which means "knowing" or "knowledge" and anta which means "the end"; therefore, the word Vedanta means "the end of knowing or knowledge."

Thus the combined perspective of Yoga and Vedanta brings the state of eternal Tranquility (Sthirattva) at the end of knowing (realizing the Self); with nothing more left to know as the knowing mind or the intellect itself is dissolved in its very Source, attaining the state of eternal Tranquility (Chira Santi) and then "suddenly becomes eternal Silence (Chira Mouna). …."

Fuerst Hands Broncos 9-8 Extra Inning Win

May 10, 2008

Box Score

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Brady Fuerst's extra innings three run double lifted the Santa Clara baseball team over Saint Mary's, 9-8, Saturday night. The junior registered a three-run double down the right field line in the 10th inning to give the Broncos the win.

SCU improved to 31-18 on the season and 11-6 in West Coast Conference play, while SMC dropped to 23-25-1 overall and 5-12 in league play. The win was awarded to Mark Willinsky (4-2) after 2.1 innings of work in which he allowed two runs and struck out two batters. The loss went to Alex Schmarzo (2-2).

Offensively, Jon Karcich went 3-for-5 with two runs, while Fuerst was 1-for-4 with three RBIs.

The Gaels opened Saturday's contest with a four run effort over the course of the first three innings. Ryan Mulligan singled to right field to bring home Kyle Jensen in the first inning. During its second outing Saint Mary's posted two runs to claim a 3-0 advantage.

Justin Fazio started off the inning with single to left field and then advanced to third on a Anthony Aliotti double. The designated hitter then scored on an error by Broncos' shortstop Karcich. Aliotti then followed on a Joel Staples base hit. SMC's fourth run of the game came in the top of the third as Jensen scored his second run of the game.

However, Santa Clara responded with four runs in their half of the inning to knot the score, 4-4. Ryan Conan posted a two-run single in the middle of the bottom of the third to bring home Matt Long and Tommy Medica. Both runners registered base hits to get on base. Karcich then drove home Conan with a base hit to left field.

The tying run was brought in by Curtis Wagner. He reached on an error by SMC's shortstop Daniel Alcaire and Karcich scored on the play.

After a quick up and down fourth inning, the Gaels claimed a two-run edge over the Broncos. Fazio tallied a two-run home run to right field that also brought home Mulligan. The catcher walked to get on base.

SCU chipped away at the lead recording runs in the sixth and seventh innings. Nathan Faulkner made it a one run game as he doubled down the right field line. The shot brought home Wagner to make the score 6-5.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, outfielder Evan LeBlanc launched a solo home run shot over the left field wall to knot the score, 6-6. It was his sixth homer of the season.

The game was taken into extra innings after both teams were held scoreless through the eighth and ninth innings. The Gaels did have the opportunity to take the lead in the eighth inning but reliever Willinsky successfully struck out Jensen for the final out of the inning with bases loaded.

In the ninth inning, the Broncos attempted to register the win as Fuerst advanced to second on a Long sacrifice. Yet, both LeBlanc and Medica were struck out to end regulation.

In the top of the 10th, Saint Mary's rallied to load the bases with two outs and the board and with a two RBI single from Jensen, the Gaels claimed an 8-6 advantage.

The Broncos crammed the bases in the bottom of the 10th with just one out on the board. Conan singled up the middle to get on and then James Heintz came in to run for the senior first baseman. Karcich followed suit with his own base it to left field and then Wagner walked. Gabe Alcantar's fly out was too shallow to bring in a run and two outs were put on the board.

But it was Fuerst's double down the right field line that sealed the win for Santa Clara. The junior second baseman launched the shot on a 1-2 count and drove in three runs.

The Broncos and Gaels bring the series to a close on Sunday, May 11. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. at Stephen Schott Stadium.

Hi. We are Cookie and Keebler, a bonded pair of smallish, young, spayed sisters. Our mom was a Dutch bunny and our Dad was a lop bunny. We were born at a shelter on July 24, 2004.

We are very sweet, mellow and fun-loving girls. We run, dance, play, do binkies and generally get silly. Then we fall asleep for a few minutes and we are back up playing!

We are comical and entertaining. We are also easy-going and may be a good choice for first time bunny guardians or families with children. We sure do love each other and pictures just don't do us justice.

We are also available for adoption individually, but only as a companion to another rabbit. We are social and enjoy the company of another rabbit.

Please come and visit us soon!

  50. I have taken note that of all forms of insurance, health insurance coverage is the most dubious because of the turmoil between the insurance plan company’s need to remain profitable and the customer’s need to have insurance policy. Insurance companies’ earnings on overall health plans are low, consequently some providers struggle to profit. Thanks for the suggestions you write about through this website.

"I Hate Being Single..."

For some women, being single is cause for sadness and misery. Because several enjoy the perks that come along with being in a relationship, the absence of it can cause depression in some cases.

And that’s when the infamous phrase gets dropped: “I hate being single”.

I’ve received several inquiries in the past few months from women that wondered whether something was wrong with them. In most cases, they had been in long lasting relationships prior and were now finding the coping process of being alone quite vexing.

Whether it’s the lack of warmth in the bedroom, the inability to garner cuddles or simply the disdain for entertaining emotionless sexual relations, the single life just isn’t for everybody.

Mind you, things got dicey when I dug deeper beneath the surface in search of comprehending the realities that some of these women were dealing with. Boy was I in for a shock.

One of them was involved in a semi-relationship with a man she saw once a week. In her eyes, because he was a weekly subscription of sorts, that gave her the latitude to sleep with other men despite the fact that her “main guy” was under the impression they were in a monogamous union. Seems like someone should portray her if ever there’s a sequel to Think Like a Man.

According to her, this gentleman was providing her with everything she desired except his daily presence because he lived out of town. That gave her a license to not only get some, but complain about being single.

The next one that solicited my advice had a man within her sights. It seemed as though he was quite the catch based on her description of him. He was respectful, docile and displayed a fair amount of intelligence. They had never been on a date or what not, but the potential was certainly there.

There was however one small problem: she was intimidated by him.

She had never dealt with a man like him before and that scared her. Her admission only came at the end of a lengthy conversation and it was clear that the whole thing was nerve-racking for her. When faced with opportunities for dates with the dude, she made up excuses out of fear. She was afraid that his standards might exceed what she brought to the table.

Eventually, the man moved on. After making multiple efforts with the hope of enjoying her company, he more than likely felt as though she wasn’t interested in him.

It’s an interesting dynamic in this respect: the lady was hoping to obtain some type of comfort and reassurance from a man with no clue that she needed it. In the same breath, this hombre needed for his level of interest to feel reciprocated but it wasn’t.

Two people looking for exactly the same thing from one another but incapable of realizing it.

In a very odd way, sometimes that’s what being single is about as evidenced by both previous illustrations.

It can in fact be a less than ideal scenario whereby an individual has no one to love or share their life with. But there’s also the other side of the coin. Sometimes women have that one guy they know could be their potential mate; however they do not allow things to organically develop in such a manner.

Whether it’s the fear of rejection or the inability to completely trust that specific individual, they deal with a multitude of roadblocks when faced with a chance at love.

Ah but jumping into something with someone is difficult. Hollering “I hate being single” is far easier.

Focusing on all these issues helps keeping one from being tied down, and rationalizing their merits can be dangerous given that it legitimizes inactivity.

Perhaps the operative term many should be using is “I hate my choices…”

Mister P.R said...

If I may interject...!

I remember talking to a an elder statesmen, you know the type that enjoys talking about any and everything. Elderly man who always told me human beings change like the seasons. Hence the whole aspect of I hate being single is part of the mood or the changing of the way of living. Men see as being single as a place to roam free and fuck everything breathing. Women also see it like that but not too that extent, I mean females being more emotional and envious see their BFF's with their men and doing the couple thing and you are the single chick who can keep a man or has trouble finding a good man...The pressure to keep up with your inner circle pushes that mood to the tenth degree,

Just my 2 cents on the matter...

Submissions are welcome on topics ranging from Jewish literature written for the stage, like the surviving fragments from Ezekiel the Tragedian, to Jewish interaction with theater and / or performance more widely, whether in concrete forms or through intellectual debates. More theoretical approaches informed by the wide field of performance theory are also encouraged. 2) Jewish networks around and across the Mediterranean basin and beyond. Social networks are an important object of study. They display varying degrees and different modes of interconnectedness between individuals and / or communities. Ancient Jews were connected in various ways: Jewish communities maintained relations with other communities, the Diaspora with Jerusalem, and likeminded Jews networked with their fellows, both near and far. We invite papers that explore the ways and means by which such connections functioned (or did not function), including travel, letter writing, the collection of money, charity or pilgrimage. In addition, we would welcome more theoretical reflections, e.g. in the light of recent network studies.

Auto Binary Signals Review - Unique Automated Binary Trading Opportunity for Newbies

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/04/2014 -- Auto Binary Signals is a spectacular trading formula made for people who are willing to invest online to make big sums of profits within weeks or months. Though this formula, users will to guided about the different ways they can invest, where to invest, where not to invest, and what volume of investment to start with. Through exploiting the loopholes that exist in the trading markets, Auto Binary Signals generate profits as a result.

Auto Binary Signals brings a trading formula for willing online investors that can help them in making mad profits in very little time. The formula is actually a software that helps finding ways where to invest and where not to and with what volume of investment to start with. It “exploits” the loopholes that exist in the trading markets and helps generating profits as a result.

What are Binary Signals?
Binary signals are unique binary options used by traders to analyze and pick wining trades. A Binary signal is mainly created to assist traders gain advantage on the trading platform. Basically, they are alerts which are sent to traders to notify them about the market changes. In addition, it gives out suggestions which can benefit traders. Currently, binary signals options are rapidly growing since most of the traders have seen its potential profits.

A signal provider monitors the market as he or she makes use of technical analysis. The computer software is used for analyzing the future movements of the assets. When the future behavior of the asset is determined, the signal provider sends the signal to the traders who subscribe in order to receive the signals.

After receiving the signal, the trader implements the trading suggestions. Because the signals are received by traders through different means, the signals can be implemented easily.

There are three ways of implementing the signals. First, the signal can be implemented through sms or text messages. Traders who use a mobile based platform can benefit from this way of implementation. Smartphone is used for receiving binary signals. As mentioned above, the time between receiving of the signal and its implementation is reduced greatly.

The second way of receiving signals is through email. This is applicable if the user has constant access to the computer. The only disadvantage of this method is that, much time will elapse before the signal is check when the trader is away from the computer. Because of the limitation, fewer traders are using this option since it has possible time delay.

How to make money by using binary signals?
Users can easily make quick money by using the binary signals. Most of the people are venturing into trading activities to earn extra money. One of the facts about binary signals is that people need to know how prices move. Prices may move either upwards or downwards before it breaks resistance.

One question which people might ask them is, how do binary signals work? Before users interpret the signals, they need to know how a particular signal generator works. In addition, users should also be aware of the mechanisms of how a particular signal is generated.

After users have known the working of the signal, they need to see and analyze two or three sources of signals. By using their knowledge and experience, they need to agree or disagree with a signal provided.

Apart from the binary signals, the new trading formula which is very effective is Auto Binary Signals. This is software which guarantees returns on one’s investment. The signals have no complex charts or analysis which is hectic. Therefore, it saves time since it requires only 15 minutes for plugging data inside and used it to attack the binary market.

What Does Auto Binary Signals Promise?

Is the Creator of Auto Binary Signals Credible?
Roger Pierce started out working for J.P Morgan after graduating college. He quickly got hooked on trading stocks but was a major victim of the stock market crash in 1987. Shortly after, he started managing financial software for a large hedge fund firm in New York. As time went on he noticed a trend starting in Binary Options and decided that this was a perfect opportunity to get in on the game. He created Auto Binary Signals after finding a trading formula that earned him hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single month trading Binary Options. Since its creation, Auto Binary Signals has proved over and over again how reliable it is since it uses multiple factors in determining trades. Pierce still uses the system and even has a ProSignals option available where you can get in on his personal trades. If it’s a good enough trade for Pierce, its highly likely that it will be a profitable trade for the users as well.

Main Points Users liked About Auto Binary Signals:

- All a person has to do is pick hid broker and set up his account. Then he gets notifications when there is a formula match and how long he has to make the most profitable move. A couple clicks to make the trade and people are done. There is no guessing as to where to put one’s money, people just check the notifications and decide if it’s a trade users would like to make or not

- Users love programs with money back guarantees, and this one is no different. If they don’t like it let them know within 60 days and get their money back. It’s that simple.

Auto Binary Signals is a strong program that can produce quite a bit of money with very little effort. It takes all the guess work and research out of the picture and tells users when the trends are in a particular favor. Having little previous knowledge in Binary Options does not impede the possibility to make money, and it is a program that can easily make money for users. Unless they have a significant amount of capitol they will not be making the figures it claims, however, even the lowest amount of money in the program is highly likely to make users some extra cash.

Teens Admit Guilt
In Hate Crimes

By Rob Potter
MONTICELLO — July 24, 2001 – A pair of county teens pled guilty Friday to setting a fire at a Kauneonga Lake residence back in April.
Brian Palyi, 16, and Joshua Lucas, 15, entered their guilty pleas in Sullivan County Court for the April 6 fire at the Herbert Finn home.
Palyi and Lucas admitted visiting the Finn home three times that day. They spilled gasoline near the back door on the second visit and used a cigarette lighter to ignite the gasoline when they returned for the third time.
Finn’s wife and six children were in the home at the time of the fire, but none of them were injured, as the fire never really got started.
Palyi pleaded guilty to third-degree arson as a hate crime. As a result, he is expected to spend between three and nine years in prison.
Lucas pleaded guilty to second-degree arson as a hate crime. He will likely be sentenced as a youthful offender, with a maximum sentence of 1 and 1/3 to four years behind bars.
The sentences could have been longer, but the Finn family worked with attorneys for Palyi and Lucas to help broker plea agreements.
Formal sentencing for Palyi and Lucas is set for August 31.

First of all, I'm not sure what topic this should be in. If it's in the wrong place, somebody important move it. What are herbal abortions? I was reading something on the site and it talked about them but didn't really explain them. Do you know where I can get info on them. I've never heard of them before, so I'm curious.

Here's the truth: you probably WON'T ever see anything published directly about them.

Why? Couple reasons.

1) Herbal abortions can be dangerous and poisonous. By design, the formulations are toxic.

2) No midwife worth her salt would simply hand out that information to a person she was not directly involved with and could supervise. There is basically an unspoken rule among those of us who know formulations never to publish them.

There do exist herbal abortifaecents (which are nothing close to reliable in terms of effectiveness or safety), as a combination of herbs. But no one should EVER use them alone, or without a naturopaths or midwives supervision, and in terms of herbalist ethics, abortions are one of those things that none would advise unless an early-term medical abortion was completely impossible (read: illegal).

The poison in the opera house split

By Norman Lebrecht / October 2, 2002

Ross Stretton's resignation as director of the Royal Ballet faster than his gnarly feet could touch the ground, demands a more truthful explanation than the mutually massaged statement from the Royal Opera House. Stretton said he was keen on "developing the future of ballet" - which makes you wonder why he took a heritage job in the first place. The ROH chairman, Sir Colin Southgate, thanked him for nurturing new dancers, while avoiding mention of the ones he discarded.

The dancers, bless 'em, have been up in arms against the brash Australian from the day he pinned his first castsheet to the notice board. Their dissension, however, would not have persuaded the board to accept his resignation.

The great and the good and the politically correct who preside over the nation's lyric theatre seem never to have paid heed to the below-stairs mutterings of their dancers and musicians. Nor were most aware of a miasma of sexual gossip that swirled out of the dancers' disaffection, rumours for which no evidence has been presented.

So why did Stretton have to go? Swift exits occur as a matter of course in the theatre. A loose hand on the pursestrings, a clash of temperaments, bad personal habits and working relations - any of these can result in summary eviction. The heads of English National Opera and Opera Australia are two of the latest victims. These things happen.

But the Stretton departure is remarkable in that no member of the company has voiced any hint of surprise or regret, even behind cupped hands. His departure was as predictable as his appointment was contentious, and both are symptomatic of the structural faults that rumble beneath the slab-faced exterior of the Royal Opera House. If there is one thing you can bet on at Covent Garden it is that no year will pass without a major upheaval.

The crisis at the Royal Ballet ought, by rights, to result in the resignation of the chairman and board of the Royal Opera House. They appointed Stretton without delving much into his previous record with, for instance, the Australian Ballet where he was a high-handed director with a high turnover in talent. In a publicly listed company, such checks would be routine. But in a publicly appointed board of governors such as Covent Garden's, no one feels inclined to take personal responsibility.

The chairman is there not because he has made an outstanding personal or financial contribution to the art forms but by dint of a gift that his company gave to the Labour Party before the 1997 election. Number 10 put him down for the Arts Council, but a deterrent cough from a senior Whitehall official steered him to Covent Garden where, it was felt, he could do less harm.

The rest of the board are there by grace of Downing Street. One of Southgate's earliest acts was to engineer the removal of his vice-chair, Dame Vivien Duffield, who had raised £100 million for the ROH redevelopment, giving the second-largest donation from her own pocket. To Southgate and New Labour, Duffield was a crimson embarrassment - a woman who had given more than political lipservice to earn her seat. It is anomalies like these that keep Covent Garden permanently on the critical list of world opera.

In the United States, the chairman of an arts institution is the man who gave the biggest donation that year and the rest of the board is made up of his fellow- donors. In Western Europe, governments pay all the bills and call the tune.

In Britain, and only in Britain, a government which contributes around one-third of the ROH's expenditure, retains the right to appoint the chairman and board and approve all major decisions.

The public, who put in more at the box-office than the Treasury's cheque, have no say in what goes on stage and what goes on behind the scenes. The business community, which puts in almost as much, has no more influence on the running of the house than the Pope does at Mecca. The artists who risk limb and sometimes life in performance, are obliged to doff their caps to dilettantes and are the last to be told of decisions that affect and often prejudice their individual and collective destinies. Tony Blair loathes the Opera House and all it stands for, but he won't release his grip on its collar.

This Animal Farm situation breeds a culture of irresponsibility. Sir Colin Southgate is a perfectly amiable man who presided over the Spice Girls era at EMI Records. He knows little about opera, less about ballet, though he means well and would like to be fondly remembered. He will walk away from the post next year, to be succeeded by another ing?ue - perhaps Michael Portillo, whose name Downing Street recently leaked.

Do not be confused by reports that the Tory MP's candidacy was "vetoed" by the board. The board has no say in the matter. Southgate, as it happens, was vociferously opposed by a majority on the previous board but was appointed over their heads.

If the system worked, we might continue to put up with it in the interests of art. But the Stretton debacle is only one of several boils that are itching to burst. The Royal Ballet cannot find a decent music director because the conductors it chooses get abused by the orchestra, over which it has no control.

Relations between the Royal Ballet and the Royal Opera are perpetually tense, but the ROH board will not countenance devolution. The Linbury and Clore theatres, two of the spanking new facilities added by redevelopment, are shamefully underused.

Internal spreadsheets suggest that the company is spending faster than it can attract donors - many of whom are deterred by the lack of bang for their bucks. Give a million to the Met in New York and you get a seat on the board. Give 10 million to Covent Garden (as arts philanthropist Alberto Vilar did) and you'll get invited to a thank-you dinner with Prince Charles.

The solution to the unending Covent Garden dilemma is glaringly obvious: the ROH must either take the US highway and privatise or go the European route and be nationalised. The longer it persists with its peculiar English private-public muddle, the more it will court derision for crises that need never have occurred.

Why does IFD fail in the initial Glide docking stage?

If multiple entries from the Project Table are included in the Workspace during the IFD setup, each entry is written to the jobname_rec.mae file as a separate receptor. Unfortunately, if the ligand and receptor used to set up the job were distinct included entries, the ligand is treated as a separate "receptor" instead of part of a ligand-receptor complex that must be extracted the during initial Glide docking stage. This causes failures in the initial Glide stage.

This is likely to be the problem if the jobname.log file reports that the "Number of initial structures" is more than one. The initial docking stage prints a warning about missing _pv.mae files and the IFD job stops. Error messages indicative of this problem are a "ZeroDivisionError: float division" message in the jobname_rec-N_*.log file or errors reading the receptor structure in the jobname_rec-N_*_grid.out or jobname_rec-N_*_dock.out files.

To avoid this problem, merge the ligand and receptor into single entry in the Project Table, and include only that new entry in the Workspace when setting up the IFD job.

Keywords: Induced fit docking, multiple structures
