Romania could earn billions by integrating its Roma, World Bank says
by Luiza Ilie
BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania could enjoy a more productive economy and gain hundreds of millions of euros a year in tax receipts if it integrated its young and impoverished Roma minority, a World Bank study showed on Monday.
Human rights groups have criticised Romania—home to up to 2.5 million Roma, or roughly a sixth of the population—for not doing enough to improve their living standards or job prospects.
The government in Bucharest commissioned the study to help it reach poverty reduction targets agreed with the European Commission, which has earmarked funds in the next EU budget for integrating the Roma better across the entire region.
The Roma are Europe's largest ethnic minority. Out of an estimated 10-12 million, some six million live in the EU. Despite the fact that EU countries have banned discrimination, many are victims of prejudice and social exclusion.
In Romania, nine out of 10 live in severe material deprivation, the study said. Children under 14 years make up almost half of their number and only a third of Roma boys will still be in school at 16, and even fewer girls. A third of Roma who seek work will experience discrimination.
If Roma unemployment rates fell and wages rose, Romania could reap productivity gains between 887 million euros and 2.9 billion euros per year—up to 2 percent of GDP—and up to 675 million of extra taxes, the study found.
A better educated Roma workforce would also fill an employment gap in the EU's second poorest state, where the population has shrunk and aged rapidly since the fall of Communism in 1989, as younger Romanians left in search of a better life elsewhere.
'Inadequate education and skills and poor health hamper one's access to earning opportunities,' said Kosuke Anan, a World Bank expert and co-author of the report. 'At the same time, the lack of earning opportunities results in insufficient resources.'
In neighbouring Hungary, Roma number some 600,000-700,000, or around 7 percent of the population. As in Romania, most are unemployed, poor and relatively uneducated.
Mistrust among Hungarians towards the Roma has been fuelled by the far-right Jobbik party, which won an unprecedented 21 percent in Sunday's national election.
BETTER OFF BEGGING ABROAD?
Many Romanian Roma have flocked to western European cities since the country joined the EU in 2007. According to police, some are involved in petty crime or begging on the streets, and outbursts of anti-Roma sentiment are now common.
France has deported thousands of Romanian and Bulgarian Roma from illegal camps, prompting criticism from the EU.
Even so, some prefer begging abroad to being at home.
'At least here people give me food and medicine,' said Ana Ferariu, a 65-year-old Roma woman begging outside a convenience store on London's crowded Oxford Street.
Ferariu, who doesn't speak English, said she left the impoverished town of Botosani in eastern Romania after her husband died and her house was destroyed in a flood. She sleeps in parks and has been picked up by police at least ten times.
'I am harmless, if people want to give me something that's ok, but if they don't that is also fine. If I die over here, the queen will bury me, but who will bury me at home?' she said.
In common with other countries, Romania has Roma inclusion programmes in place but the results have been not be monitored properly to gauge their effectiveness, the World Bank said.
The study recommended building up local capacities to manage pro-Roma projects and better tap EU development funds, making more realistic budget estimates and strengthening anti-discrimination laws.

Micky On Millwall
Si Wilderspin
Gaffer Looking Forward To Season Opener
Shrewsbury Town boss Micky Mellon says he and his squad are looking forward to finally getting the season underway.
After last year's success, Town are back in League One, a division they found themselves relegated from two seasons ago, and face League One favourites Millwall at the Greenhous Meadow this Saturday.
And with a successful pre-season under their belts, Micky believes it's time to get down to business and feels playing Millwall will set a benchmark for his players.
"It's always nice to get the season underway," said Micky. "The pre-season seems to be dragging on a little bit now and me, like the lads and probably like the fans, all want to get started now so it's great that it's come around and we're looking forward to it.
"It's a tough start for us. I believe their favourites (for the league) so right away it will be a benchmark for us.
"We'll know very, very quickly, with the start that we have, where we are as a group. We're pleased with that, we know that we're going straight into it if you like and there's no tougher a game than to play Millwall so we're really looking forward to it."
Despite the recent success of other promoted League Two sides such as Swindon, Chesterfield and Rotherham, Micky is refusing to get carried away or make any league standing prediction.
"It's always a very, very competitive league with a lot of big clubs in there and a lot of big clubs that want to get into the Championship and are putting a lot of money into doing that," said Micky.
"But there's also a lot of established clubs like your Walsalls and Port Vales, they've been in it for many, many years so they have a lot of established League One players. It's our first year in it and we've still got a lot of players who have got to establish themselves at that level.
"We want to be very competitive, that's for sure. We don't go daft and start setting long-term targets because this is football and we're in a new level against a whole host of new teams with a lot of new players, but we certainly want to be competitive and do very well.
"We believe we've got a good team and we'll obviously not allow ourselves to get carried away but come Saturday we'll be well prepared for it and we want to do well."
With an almost fully-fit squad to choose from, Micky was not giving any of his team selection away, insisting he still has one or two selections to ponder – a decision made harder with the possibility of two new additions.
"Like I've always said it's a squad of first-team players," added Micky. "We don't have a first-team and in my mind I've got one or two decisions that I'm toiling with but I'll take as much time as I can with them and try and make sure I get the right one.
"We've been able to make them (Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro and Jermaine Grandison) offers today so they're now thinking about them and hopefully we can have some closure on that maybe either today or tomorrow.
"They've trained with us all of pre-season and we've always been clear with the two lads that we wanted to bring them in.
"I hope that they accept and hopefully we'll have some news tomorrow and hopefully sign two very good players.
"The reason why we've been able to make them offers is because the Chairman has dug into his own pockets and tried to make the two deals happen so we're very, very grateful for that.
"The Chairman has dug into his own bank account and made the funds available to bring in the two players because he, like us, thinks it's very important to get those two players in the building because they make us better."

NorthStar launched this indestructible all-in-one system in 1982.
The Advantage combined the well known (at the time) NorthStar 5.25 floppy disc sub-system with a high-resolution display and a durable keyboard. The Advantage also had it's own bus with it's own set of optional I/O card and a 8088 co-processor card for comparability with the newly released IBM PC software. Sadly, the card was delivered with MS-DOS ver.1 which wasn't compatible with the IBM-PC PC-DOS and very few programs were developed for this OS.
Kentucky Fried Computer (KFC) was the original name of the company in their garage building stage, and was quickly changed to NorthStar when they found commercial potential.
One great feature of the Advantage was that it had an IBM Selectric (as in typewriters) keyboard. Very high quality, and familiar to typists. There was a 16 bit add-in card that ran generic MSDOS 1. The display allowed to run graphic games like Asteroid, and could display foreign character sets. Many were sold outside the US.
It also had networking cards, called NorthNet (I don't remember the protocol) to link many Advantages together, when this was just a dream for IBM.
As you said, it came out about the time of the IBM PC, which pretty much killed it, mostly because people didn't understand the technology.
Early versions of NorthNet were SNA None Return to Zero Inverted (NRZI). Netbios came along. NorthStar also developed an add-on that ran PC-DOS.
I was working for GBC at the time and we re-badged the product line (Advantage = System 9 and Horizon = System 12).
Hard disks were available with 5, 10 and 30 Mb runnig MFM.

Wildlife experts said enhanced protection measures gave hope to the protection of wild Siberian tigers in China-Russia border region, but human activities still disturb their free movement and habitation, a key to the survival of the highly endangered species, Xinhua reported on November 4.
The Siberian tiger is a subspecies of tiger which once roamed in Russian Far East, eastern part of northeast China and northern part of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Due to fragmentation of forests and poaching, only about 20 Siberian tigers are believed to live in wild in Jilin and Heilongjiang, while the population of wild tigers in neighboring Russia is estimated between 430 and 500.

The lowest fare found to Jersey (JER) was £56 with EasyJet. The fares shown here are the lowest flight prices to Jersey obtained in actual searches by Just The Flight customers. To search and book flights to Jersey in 2019 and 2020, please enter your requirements and click the search button above.
Among Just the Flight users, Jersey is the forty fifth most searched for destination.
Of all the Channel Islands, Jersey is the largest and perhaps most appealing to visitors from all over the world. The capital, St. Helier, is a busy shimmering town of much steel and glass with a high number of business people concentrated there. But apart from its business side, Jersey is a beautiful island with more than 48 miles of coast. With rugged cliffs, sandy beaches and much peace and tranquillity to be found, Jersey is a great place to relax on a short break or longer holiday.
Jersey, rich in history and culture is the most popular of the Channel Islands. It lies in the Bay of Mont St. Michel, and is therefore quite close to France. The first human activity on the island dates back about 250,000 years when bands of nomadic hunters used the caves at La Cotte de St. Brelade as shelter while hunting mammoth. There are quite a few ancient ritual burial sites known as dolmens scattered throughout the island.
Visiting the area any time of the year is a wonderful experience, though if you don't like the heat, you may wish to avoid booking flights to Jersey in the high summer. However, the warmer months do allow for wonderful times on the beach. The winter is also a pleasant time to visit as the temperatures are quite mild, usually around 10°C.
Getting to Jersey is not difficult at all, especially via plane. You can find cheap flights to Jersey straight from London, which is just about an hour's flight away. However, there are more than 25 flights to Jersey from other UK regional airports each and every day. Many airlines offer great deals and specials during both the on and off-seasons.
Love to walk? Jersey is the place, with a wide variety of terrain on offer for your walking pleasure. Whether you enjoy long strolls along the coast or something a little more challenging along the cliffs, Jersey is a walker's delight. If walking is not your cup of tea, the coastline is ideal for water sports and sunbathing. Simply enjoying the great outdoors is certainly possible during any stay in Jersey. For nature lovers, Jersey is also home to the Durrell Wildlife Park. A really good time to visit is during the Battle of Flowers Parade; a carnival spectacle with associated events.
Though Jersey is rich in history, there is nothing dry or dusty about this Channel Island. Exploring the island will allow you the chance to understand its heritage through mixing the past and present. There are some really interesting sites to visit, including magnificent castles located throughout Jersey. Plan a tour and get a glimpse of true history. The hands-on museums and adventure parks will add an element of fun and education to your adventure.
One of the most interesting castles to visit is Mont Orgueil, a superb medieval building. After that, head over to Hamptonne and experience a reconstruction of a 17th century farming community, complete with all the gossip of the day. While you can quickly step into centuries past, you can also explore more recent historical periods.
Jersey was heavily affected by its World War II Occupation that lasted for five years - the island was liberated in 1945. You should make a visit to the Jersey War Tunnels - a network of tunnels created to protect German troops from bomb attacks by the Allies. There was a hospital inside the tunnels that was left virtually intact when the invaders left. In 2001, the tunnels were transformed to become an interactive visitor experience.
For lovers of the outdoors, Jersey is a great place to be. The networks of Green Lanes, which have a speed limit of 24kph, are ideal for cycling enthusiasts. If you can't bring your bike with you, there are several businesses from where you can rent them. There are also plenty of water sports to enjoy. Because Jersey is an island, this makes total sense! Spend your days swimming, water skiing, windsurfing, and surfing. Some of the best beaches include those along La Roque Point; St. Helier will provide the best swimming while St. Ouen's Bay and St. Brelade's Bay offer the most facilities for holidaymakers.
Seafood is also a prominent aspect of any trip to Jersey. Do not miss out on the fresh seafood available at the quality pubs and starred restaurants throughout the island. Whether you want a simple dish of calamari or pan-seared salmon, or a cordon bleu meal, Jersey can provide it. If you prefer to catch your own dinner, try some of the great fishing that Jersey has to offer. On the northeast coast Bouley Bay offers some of the best fishing in the area.
Whether you want a quiet respite from a busy life or an action-packed adventure, you will find it on the island of Jersey. No matter what time of year you choose to visit, the island will captivate you with its history and charm, and the picturesque vistas off the rugged cliffs overlooking the sea. Don't hesitate; book your flight to Jersey today.


I have learned what a heart full of gratitude feels like.
You are an eternal being now on the pathway of endless unfoldment, never less but always more yourself. Life is not static. It is forever dynamic, forever creatingnot something done and finished, but something alive, awake and aware. There is something within you that sings the song of eternity. Listen to it.
Fully accepting "There is no peace except the peace of God" simplifies life immensely. To find comfort, I do not need to try to organize outer circumstances to meet conditions I think will bring me peace. Peace cannot be found in outer conditions. I do not need to find a certain relationship to be happy and at peace. Peace cannot be found in a relationship with an image I perceive as outside of me. All the efforts to make external conditions that will make me happy and comfort me and bring me peace can never succeed. There is no peace to be found there.
As long as I believe there is an "other," there is the potential for conflict. The peace of God is one because One is all there is. We are all part of that One. I simply need to let go of searching for peace where it cannot be found and peace will dawn upon my mind automatically, for it is already there. This means anything that seems to disturb my peace of mind is only disturbing because of the meaning I have given it. The disturbance is only in my mind.
This is good news, because if the disturbance is only in my mind, it is totally in my hands to let it go. I have the power in every moment to choose the peace of God. I need only forgive myself for imagining there was something else and let it go. What's more, I have a powerful Friend in my mind, the Holy Spirit, Who shares His strength and vision with me to help me forgive and let go. I am never alone, ever. And I am glad and thankful this is so.
As I learn to ask for the peace of God instead of trying to make this world real, I am asking for union rather than separation. As I learn to ask for the peace of God, I do not try to change the world. I simply realize it is not really there. I realize what I am seeing comes from my desire to see separation.
As I change what I desire to see with the help of the Holy Spirit, I will see unity where I once saw separation. I will see there is really only one mind where I once saw separate bodies. I will be led to experience the peace of God.
becoming worried at every test and difficulty.
Many statements about God are confidently made by theologians on grounds that today at least sound specious. Thomas Aquinas claimed to prove that God cannot make another God, or commit suicide, or make a man without a soul, or even make a triangle whose interior angles do not equal 180 degrees. But Bolyai and Lobachevsky were able to accomplish this last feat (on a curved surface) in the 19th century, and they were not even approximately gods.

Das Muttland ist der zentrale und mit ca. 650 km² flächengrößte Teil der Insel Rügen. Es wird im Süden begrenzt durch den Strelasund und den Greifswalder Bodden. Im Nordosten schließt die Halbinsel Jasmund über die Schmale Heide an, im Südosten das Mönchgut und die Halbinsel Zudar im Süden. Im Westen grenzt das Muttland an die Westrügener Bodden und im Norden an die Nordrügener Bodden. Kennzeichnend für das Muttland ist die ebene bis flachwellige Grundmoränenlandschaft, welche noch den Charakter des nordostmecklenburgischen Flachlands trägt. So erfährt das Gebiet durch zahlreiche abflusslose Senken und Niederungen sowie einige kleinere Bäche eine gewisse Gliederung. Die Moränenlandschaft flacht nach Norden immer weiter ab und erreicht bis zum Höhenzug vor dem Großen Jasmunder Bodden kaum noch 20 Meter. Der Übergang zu den umliegenden Boddenküsten ist meist fließend. Geprägt wird das Muttland durch große Ackerflächen, die nur vereinzelt von Baum- und Heckenstrukturen aufgelockert werden. Dazwischen liegen zahlreiche Sölle und einige kleine Seen, wie der Kniepower See und der Nonnensee. Nur einige Hügel und Rücken, die mit Laub- und Mischwald bestanden sind, überragen die flache Ebene. Zu deren höchsten Punkten zählen der Rugard (118 m ü. NN) bei Bergen, der 107 m ü. NN hohe Tempelberg in der Granitz, der Hoch Hilgor (44 m) bei Neuenkirchen und die Banzelvitzer Berge (45 m) bei Rappin, die zu einer im Nordteil aufragenden Stauchendmoräne gehören.

Der vorherrschende Nutzungstyp, der fast den gesamten Bereich einnimmt, ist der Ackerbau. Grünlandnutzung ist nur in ganz geringem Ausmaße anzutreffen. Von naturschutzfachlicher Bedeutung sind einige größere Flächen im Süden, welche als Rastgebiet für Zugvögel von nationaler und internationaler Bedeutung ausgewiesen sind. Die drei Städte auf dem Muttland sind Bergen auf Rügen, Garz/Rügen und Putbus.

A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!
Thread: A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!

Hi. On Stephen Colbert's new christmas cd, is the Nutmeg song a spoof of one of John Legends own songs?
farbeyond
Re: Stephen Colbert's Christmas Cd
Based on an interview with the lyricist for the songs on the album it doesn't seem to be a spoof.
Javerbaum: Toby Keith, we knew we wanted to do a song like that, and that was written for Toby Keith because he was involved — I mean, he said he was interested back in 2007; he was pretty early on. And then, the Willie Nelson song was - I think that was written without Willie Nelson in mind, but then Willie Nelson came along, and … you know. It fits him rather perfectly. And like "Nutmeg," there was a whole other version of it. Originally, I could see this being for somebody like Fantasia Barrino, and it would just be sung by someone, like, just the word "nutmeg" sung passionately over and over again. But we got John Legend, and he's just an amazing soul singer and so sincere when he sings that it seemed like this was a better way to go. And it's really … it's a ridiculous, stupid song.

John F. Kennedy once famously said the following about our relationship with the sea: "We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch – we are going back from whence we came." That moment after the sails have been hoisted and you cut the engines and the world goes quiet for a moment – that's what sailing is all about. Captaining a vessel through the Sir Francis Drake Channel of the British Virgin Islands is a must-do for the adventurous spirits among us.

Maatibaani and their new song Balma!
Maatibaani is an awesome World Music band that combines Hindustani Classical music with Folk music and International music sounds.
The band comprises of Nirali Kartik (who is trained in Hindustani Classical music) as the lead vocalist, and Kartik Shah as the Guitarist.
'Maatibaani' means Language of the Earth. Each song is a collaboration with artistes from rural areas, street musicians and top class World music artistes.
Maatibaani just released a new song as a Christmas release that I'm totally in love with.
'Balma', a collaboration between 11 artists from across 5 different countries, is so catchy that I have been listening to it on repeat mode. The song truly transcends international boundaries.
The video is full of fun, and the song speaks about how unifying love is ("1+1+1+1 equals 1").
Oh!! And it also has part of the song in French (Awesome!!). Combining Hindustani Classical with French, along with all the other instruments makes it really funky and foot-tapping.

I hope you'll all bear with me just a little longer while I talk more about this Patreon thing that I set up, as I use this space to continue to drum up support.
I realized that I owe it to myself to do this, to move into the discomfort of asking for help and support, rather than shy away from it.
Shying away feels like the easy thing to do. It is the easy thing to do.
If you missed my last post, or haven't been over to my accounts on Instagram or Facebook, then here's the nutshell recap: I set up a page at Patreon.com, a site where people can pledge a certain amount to the creators that they support. It's my way of asking for a little help and a lot of support as I move through this long and often difficult process of trying to write and publish a book. There are more specific details on my Patreon page, including how I could expect to use any money earned from the site, what my goals are, more about the reasons I decided to do this.
I launched the page earlier this week, with a post here and over on Instagram and Facebook and I waited, curious to see what- if anything- might happen.
The result was interesting. There was really nice engagement and encouragement from these posts, and I can feel that there are a lot of people behind me in taking another step towards these dreams of mine. And that feels really amazing. Though this Patreon effort IS about extra financial support- it would be a lie to say that it's not about the money- what runs underneath it has always been the most important thing to me. That I have my people out there, cheering me on.
But because this is about the money, I looked anxiously to see if anyone would be willing to be a patron. And the results here give me really mixed feelings, and it's so hard to articulate this. Maybe because it's about money, and that's a difficult subject to talk about and be really honest about? I'm not sure. But it's also about expectation vs hope, that tricky balance of asking for help but also not expecting it, and in needing to see the effort all the way through.
I currently have four patrons (one of whom is my mother. Hi Mom!!). I can't say that I expected anything from this little venture, and to be really honest, the fact that there are three people out there who are not related to me or even a friend to me "in real life" who have willingly and enthusiastically pledged to help me out with my art… it's so incredible.
My first reaction was to want to pull back and say, "Wait! No! I've changed my mind, I can't accept any money, this feels strange and different and I'm not sure that I'm 100% comfortable with it and maybe I should just wait until there is a real book I can put in your hands to ask for any money." Part of me still feels this way.
I wasn't going to say much more about this Patreon, other than to keep the button on my blog and mention it briefly, from time to time.
But maybe what I need to do, instead of back away and go back to being quiet and keeping small, is to just step into this space of discomfort and come back here and keep talking about it.
Maybe four patrons is all it's going to be. I didn't expect more or less, but I'd hoped that, maybe, there could be a few more. And maybe there can be?
There's the $1.00/month level on my page and I think it's a really interesting concept. $1.00 a month isn't much and might seem like only a drop in the bucket. And, well, yes, if just one person comes over from this post and pledges at that level, it's not going to make a huge difference (but man, I have to tell you, I'm going to appreciate it). But I just have to wonder- what if 25 people in my audience make that pledge? What if 25 of the people who support me make that pledge? An additional $25.00 a month becomes something altogether very different.
So if this were a pledge drive (which, in a way, I suppose it is), and I were on TV or the radio and urging listeners to call in, that I wanted to hear the phones ring and see the numbers rise, then this is my drive, my call. I wonder if I can get 25 pledges at the $1.00/month level. I wonder, I wonder, I wonder.
Nothing has started to feel more comfortable as I've continued writing this post. I think, again, about expectation vs hope and the difference between them and how I'm trying to come from a place of hope. I'm back here again, trying to not back down and let it go, but instead to keep this up. To really launch this idea, rather than mention it and then pretend it never happened.
I will happily continue to blog and take photos and work on my book, and so happily share all of this with you, regardless of the money raised on Patreon. My readers and followers and friends and family- all of my supporters- I take so much from the encouragement and support you give. I always have, and I truly hope that I always will. If you've liked my blog and liked hearing these stories, and if you're in the position to be able to make a small pledge on Patreon, that would be amazing. But regardless of what does or does not happen over there, I'll continue to be over here, wrestling out the stories from my walk that happened over 5 months ago. (Yikes, I really behind on this one!!).
So thanks again for being here, in whatever way that you are, and I hope to keep writing for many more years to come. To sign off, I'll leave you with the photo that kicks off my little Patreon video, as well as one of my very favorite photos from all of my Camino's. There is such joy and happiness here.
My walking stick was my constant companion on the Camino. I thought about this a lot as I moved through my walk: the cities and towns would always change, the scenery would change, the people would change- nothing on this Camino seemed to stay the same. Nothing except my stick.
It might seem a little ridiculous- and probably is- my attachment to a piece of a large branch that I found in the woods several kilometers past Deba on my fourth day of walking the Norte. But after I spent the first hour with that stick in my hand, it felt unnatural to walk without it. And it was my companion, it was this thing that helped me, day in and day out, the thing that was always by my side, the thing that I would never, ever, leave behind. (Some people might describe an actual person in this way- a real companion- but for a solo-walker like myself, I think a walking stick takes on a pretty significant role on a long distance journey).
I didn't actually find the stick, it was Richard, back at the beginning of the Camino when he was part of my first (but brief) Camino family. Have I already written about this? I had told the others about wanting to find a walking stick, and had spent a good part of the morning's walk looking off to the side of the trail as we passed through wooded areas, hoping to find the perfect fallen branch. And Richard found one, cut it to my exact specifications, shaved off the ends with his pocket knife and even put a ring around the top.
The stick became so perfect to me during my walk- the oils from where my hand grasped the stick caused the wood to become smooth and shiny. The stick was straight and strong, and more than once, people mistook it for something I bought in a shop, rather than something I found in the woods.
Others on the Camino named their sticks, but I never did. Or, rather, I just called it 'Stick' (clever, I know). A few times it got stuck in between large rocks and it would tug me backwards. I'd feel a quick shot of panic, that the end might snap off, that my stick could get hurt in some way. "Stick!" I would exclaim, before extracting it from the rocks and moving on.
But it remained perfect, all through my Camino, all the way until the end. It pulled me forward up that last hill in Muxia, when I was tired and exhausted and finished. That stick was part of my Camino.
At some point, I knew I would take it home with me. I'd had a walking stick last year, too, one that I bought in a shop in St Jean Pied de Port, one that look remarkably like a stick you might find in the woods. I loved it, and it was incredibly hard to leave it behind in Santiago at the end of my Camino. I'd considered trying to bring it home with me, but somehow it felt right that I leave it behind.
I'm not sure what was different this year (I suspect one reason is that I walked a more difficult Camino, and the walking stick aided me so much more); in any case, I was determined to bring it home. I strategized with others, I talked with a post office employee in Santiago, I got a list of companies that could ship things throughout the world. In the end, it seemed that the easiest way to get my stick back to the US was to simply check it as a piece of luggage on my flights.
So at the airport in Santiago, I walked over to a stand that wraps and secures luggage. I presented my stick to the man working there, and he laughed. He pulled large sheets of fluorescent green cellophane from a giant roll and carefully wrapped my stick in multiple layers. I'd payed extra for a checked bag, and dropped the stick off at the check-in counter. And when I arrived in Paris, there was my stick, sitting with a few other pieces of over-sized luggage, in the corner of the baggage claim area.
It was easy, and I was delighted that I'd found a simple way to bring my stick home. So I didn't think twice about checking it on my flight home to the US- but this time, it wasn't quite as easy. When I made it up to the check-in counter in Paris, the man looked at my stick and said, "You want to check that?" He seemed doubtful, and then gestured over to a blue cart that was far, far across the crowded room. "Put it on there," he said.
The cart was empty and after confirming several times with other employees that this was the over-sized luggage cart for American Airlines, I laid my stick across the cart and I walked away. I had a heavy feeling, and wondered if I would see the stick again.
Arriving back home after being away for 5 weeks should have been exciting or, at the very least, a bit comforting. But instead I went home feeling like I'd left something important behind. "It's just a stick," I told myself. It's one of the lessons of the Camino- that our possessions don't actually matter that much, that we need far less than we think, it's the experiences that count- blah blah blah (I do think all of that is important, but when you lose something that's important to you, even if it is just a piece of wood, it's okay to feel sad and to feel that our possessions do, in fact, matter a bit).
Things have been a whirlwind since I've been home. I stopped at my apartment briefly but then headed right back out for a long road trip to South Carolina, to go to a good friend's wedding (and I just need to note: the distance I spent 9 hours driving in one day equaled the distance I spent walking for one month). It was when I was in SC that I got a flurry of emails and phone calls about my walking stick. It had been found, made it on a flight to Philly, and was now being delivered to my apartment by a driver named John. He left me a message to confirm that he would be dropping off my 'luggage' (when he said luggage he laughed); I called him back and he asked if he was delivering a walking stick to me. "Yes, it is a walking stick!" I told him. He said that all the guys were trying to guess what it was.
So I sent a text to my landlord, asking if they could look for it and bring it inside, keeping it safe until I made it back home.
I knew I wouldn't feel completely settled about it all until I was back to my apartment and had that stick in my hand. I finally came home last night, and when my landlord saw me, waved me over so I could get the stick.
He handed it to me- it was definitely my stick, still wrapped in the bright green cellophane- but when I held it I instantly knew something was wrong. The stick wasn't straight. Back in my apartment I began tearing off the wrapping, worried that I would discover that it had been snapped in two. But when I finally uncovered the stick I realized it wasn't broken at all. It was just warped. Really, really warped.
I have to laugh about it- all the care and worry about getting that stick home with me- and now that it's here, it's not the same, perfect stick that I walked my Camino with. It's no longer straight at all, but bows out at the bottom half. It's crooked, it's changed. It's my stick, but it's different.

Q: jQuery not running in ajax loaded modal until modal is resized I have a model which, when opened, loads a partial view.
The partial view has a jQuery function. When the modal is opened the jQuery does not run.
As soon as I resize the modal at all, the jQuery is run and the expected results occur.
Here is the code that loads the html and opens the modal
 $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#reschedule").button().click(function () {

                            var url = $("#rescheduleUrl").attr('href');

                            $.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
                            $.ajax({
                                url: url,
                                success: function (data) {
                                    $("#rescheduleDiv").html(data);
                                    $("#rescheduleDiv").dialog('open');
                                }
                            });
        });
    });

and from the partial view that is loaded, here is the jQuery that I need to run right away.
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    theme: true,
    header: {
        left: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay',
        center: 'title',
        right: ''
    },
    defaultView: 'agendaWeek',
    editable: false,
    minTime: 5,
    maxTime: 20,
    events: "/ServiceTicket/GetCalendarEvents/",
    allDaySlot: false
});

I have also tried it wrapped in
   $(document).ready(function() {
     ...
   });

with the same result.
any thoughts what I need to do to get this to run right away? I have watched it in firebug and it does run when the modal is re-sized but not until then.
Thanks!

A: I think you need to wrap the partial view JQuery in a document.ready function as well.  This is how we get JQuery to fire in a colorbox modal that is 'popped' up from a partial view
 $(document).ready(function () {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    theme: true,
    header: {
        left: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay',
        center: 'title',
        right: ''
    },
    defaultView: 'agendaWeek',
    editable: false,
    minTime: 5,
    maxTime: 20,
    events: "/ServiceTicket/GetCalendarEvents/",
    allDaySlot: false
});
});

EDIT
I think reversing the load/show functions in your parent page may solve the issue.
success: function (data) {
    $("#rescheduleDiv").dialog('open');
    $("#rescheduleDiv").html(data);
 }

By populating the html before 'showing' the dialog, the doc.ready function may not ever be firing along with your event handers until you interact with the dialog.  If you show it first, then load the html data, your event handlers show work as expected.

Shipping damage :: 1971 Guild D25 Brown — Chubbuck Guitars :: making & repairing Guitars in a old building just north of Boston, Mass.
A shipping courier damaged this all-mahogany dread with a cracked side. This will need to be stitched back together with cleats and require some finish touch ups. Luckily there are no holes or missing pieces. The bridge is also being re-set as well.


Red or bloodshot eyes can be the result of allergies, illness, injury, presence of foreign particles, strain, lack of sleep or infections. Home care options alleviate the redness and soothe red eyes. Eye drops are often prescribed, but if you'd rather not use them, try other remedies and treatments to find the option that fits your needs. Always see your doctor to determine underlying causes and to rule out any serious disorders.
Visit your doctor for a professional diagnosis. Your doctor will be able to assess your symptoms to determine the best treatment options.
Place an ice pack on your closed eyes to reduce swelling and redness. This treatment works well on strained eyes. The cold shrinks blood vessels and reduces inflammation. Hold the gel pack in place for 10 minutes at time several times throughout the day.
Hold a heat pack on your eye area for 10 minutes. This technique works well on tired eyes. Repeat several times each day until the redness subsides.
Take an antihistamine as directed. This will reduce the redness in your eyes. Avoid irritants such as dust, smoke, pollen and animal hair. Redness may be occurring due to an allergic reaction, so, if possible, avoid the allergen.
Use a humidifier in your bedroom. Heating and air conditioning units can cause your home to become very dry which, in turn, causes red eyes. Replace lost moisture with a humidifier.
Rest your eyes. If you have been using the computer, reading or driving for a long period of time, stop the activity and allow your eyes to rest for several hours. While performing the activity, take mini breaks by glancing away from the screen or paper for 30 seconds every 10 minutes.
Rinse your eyes with warm water to remove any foreign particles. Splash the water into your open eye for about 30 seconds to sufficiently clean the area.
Sleep enough each night. Get at least eight hours of sleep to reduce redness.

"Parenthood" and what's wrong with it
March 19, 2010 jamanda	2 comments
There's a new series on NBC: Parenthood, based on the 1989 movie of the same name. The movie has one of my favorite lines of all time, uttered by a then-barely known actor named Keanu Reeves:
You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car – hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father.
Based on the strength of this line, the fact that Lauren Graham starred, and for another reason I'll get to in a minute, I decided one day to watch the show. I've seen three episodes now and I think I'm done.
Now, the third reason that I decided to watch it: Because I don't know what normal parents are like.
I've spent a lot of time and energy making a place for myself, as a person and as a parent, where I am surrounded by supportive and loving people who don't tell me constantly that I'm a weird freak side-show who doesn't think like everyone else. Mostly this is a personal bubble I've created, but partly it's the community I've chosen. Cambridge, Mass., is NOT the median average for any damned thing in the country.
This is, for the most part, incredible and good, especially since I was lucky (smart?) enough to get people who will tell me if I'm being stupid. Constant and unthinking agreement is good for no one.
But it also means that I'm pretty well isolated from what I think of as "mainstream" American parenting. I honestly get baffled about things that clearly everyone else thinks are normal and usual. And, more importantly, I get blindsided by attacks form people — mostly my family — who think I'm being "weird" in some instance where I thought I was right in tune with normal practices. (Honestly, I didn't think anyone thought of Teddy Grahams as a healthy snack on par with a piece of fruit. They are cookies, right?)
Since every preview seemed to make the show out to be the Greatest Hits of American Parenting Anxiety, it seemed like a good place to go to find out what other, normal, parents think.
And wow was I right. It lined up all the big issues in the first episode: single moms, deadbeat dads, money concerns, a child with Asperger's/Autism, not becoming your father, teens acting out, parental competitiveness, the working mom dilemma, etc. etc. I was slightly irritated by the heavy handed script, but stuck to it for three episodes. It was an interesting view on what people thought about parenting — or at least, what Hollywood thought people thought about parenting.
For example, The Husband spent a lot of time yelling at Peter Krause for his crappy reaction to his son's diagnosis with Aspergers. I thought, while he was jerky, he was actually less jerky than most dads seem to actually be in a similar situation. (I have had two moms recently tell me that when their kids got diagnosed with some problem, their husbands reacted with violent denial and refusal to admit the problem.)
Then, in the third episode, came something that made me want to scream. The Asperger's kid gets kicked out of school, which is silly but a plot point so I'll forgive it, and Peter Krause and his wife decide to get him into "the best private school" for Asperger's kids. They pull strings and camp out in people's offices and finally talk to the head of the school and she says that there are no spots this year, but come back in September.
The parents then spend four or five minutes demanding that this woman "just spend five minutes with Max! Just five minutes and you'll see how special he is!" They badger and beg and bully until she agrees and spends five minutes with Max and calls in the final minutes of the episode to say that YES, Max gets in! It was the emotional high point of the episode, the triumphant end that had everyone in the family cheering, was supposed to make the audience cheer, too!
It made me so angry I wanted to spit.
What about all the people who followed the rules and waited on the waiting list so that they could get their kid in? What about all the parents who paid the ungodly tuition with the knowledge that the 3d grade class would have a 5-to-1 ration and now, because they squeezed Max in, it will be 6-to-1? Is Max really that special special special of a snowflake that they will bend the rules? Or is it just that these parents were bullies and jerks?
This is what's wrong with Parenthood and parenthood. The rules don't apply to MY kid. MY kid is special. MY kid deserves to have the rules bent, broken, ignored, just this once, just for MY kid. All the other kids need to conform, but you need to make an exception, just this once, for MY kid.
And I'll bet you that at some point there will be an episode where Max's parents go to the mat with the school to fight for small class sizes because too many kids are getting in.
I know that it's vital for parents to advocate for their kids. But bullying your way into a school just because it's the best school, the one with the best status and reputation, and not thinking of the larger issues, not thinking about other kids, not considering how a wider advocacy will actually help more kids and be better for your kid in the long run….. that's what is wrong.

Let's hear it for misdirection!
March 2, 2010 jamanda	Leave a comment
The Parking Lot group tried, very hard, to get into it this morning. Conversations would start with, "Are you going to the meeting?" (There's apparently going to be a meeting today.) "No, I have to read a book at my older son's school."
And I could see two or three moms opening their mouths to jump in. And I would access my inner Jersey Girl and talk really fast to say, "Oh, really? What are you going to read?"
I did this six or seven times.
Occasionally, two moms would break off and their voices would get really low and they would dart glances at P. (L wasn't there yet). And I'd drag them, rather suddenly, into our conversation about pancake breakfasts.
The meeting will happen while I'm here, pretending to work. There will be a policy statement and that will be it.
It bothers me that I spend this much time and energy on the group politics of a bunch of women whose names I sometimes forget. I mentally mock, just a little bit, the women who spend so much energy worrying that a pedophile might see their son's picture online, but I just spent almost the same amount of energy worrying about the high-school politics of the situation. Who's nuts here? I know they are… and I'm almost certain that I am, too.
And why are moms all attacking each other instead of… I don't know? Attacking pedophiles? That doesn't make any sense. But I feel like a whole lotta energy and effort — mine, L's, P's, everyone's — just got expended upon something useless, pointless, and divisive, where upon it could have been spent on something constructive. Why is modern motherhood all about attacking women who do it differently than I do it? Do men do this — as parents or in any other field?
I'm developing a theory, slowly, about how society can no longer use fear of sex/getting pregnant to control women, so instead, its shifted to using fear about motherhood to control women. It's hazy, still, but I'm thinking about it. Thoughts?

The Mommy Wars charge the Bully Pulpit
September 2, 2008 jamanda	2 comments
I'm not the first or even 10,001st person in the past four days to spend a little time ruminating on the way that various complex facets of the Mommy Wars, of feminism, of women's issues, have all be thrust into the spotlight by the presidential election. If you can't bear to hear any more, please feel free to click away.
My thoughts are rather jumbled which is why I'm going to sit down and write them out. They are all merging with some interesting thoughts on feminism and motherhood and the way that those two things both merge and clash. The fact that those thoughts have been jumbled for the past three years won't help me make my thoughts on this mess any clearer.
One of the things I am finding most amusing is the way that people are reacting to the question, "Should a mother with a special needs baby be running a national campaign?" Many many very smart and savvy women get so angry at that question that they start to sputter and steam. (Female Science Professor, for instance.) The conservatives, who seem to be against women in the workforce at all, are being conspicuously quiet on this front.
Myself, I think it's almost a valid question. "Almost" because the question should be "Should a parent with a …." I don't think the question is invalid — especially not when she's running on a family values platform — but I think that any politician, male or female, should be asked it. I get the second-wave feminist knee-jerk anger but I'm a third-wave lady myself and I think dads should be held to equal culpability in parenting.
Then there's the fact that her daughter is pregnant. I love Obama for shutting down the questions with no room in his voice or words for doubt. (Though I'll admit that I'm anti-McCain enough to want some surrogates to go out there and beat that drum over and over again.) But the issue is out there and it's not going away, especially as this girl approaches her third trimester just as the election is going to come to a head. It's not really all that valid as a political football … except that her mom is violently pro-life and supports abstinence-only education.
And suddenly, once again, a woman is being defined by her uterus. And her daughter's uterus. Sigh.
Worse, she's being defined by her tight little ass, too. Watch this video of McCain taking sidelong glances at Palin's rear during her speech. Watch him fiddle with his wedding ring. Watch him try to kiss her as she dodges, feints, and parries. Watch her pained smile when he finally connects. Contemplate this website: www.VPILF.com. (For those of you who haven't seen American Pie, "ILF" is an acronym for "I'd like to F*ck." Gotta give the guy credit — the site's been up for two months already.) Check out the fact that every article mentions her stint in the Beauty Pageant world.
There's also the blatant grab for the Hilary Holdouts. Sigh. Why is Senator Clinton always refered to as Hilary when her male counterparts are referred to by last name? Why are they being seens as vicious shrewish women who are holding out bitterly just because they thing they got shafted? Do the pundits and the campaign wonks really think that these women are so stupid as to vote for a woman, regardless of the fact that she's ideologically 180 degrees from Hilary?
(And then, I admit sheepishly, there's the lingering question in my mind: Are these women that stupid?)
There's the fact that, when asked in 2000, what McCain would do if his teen daughter turned up pregnant, he basically said that they would make a choice together as a family. Uh… they would make a choice. Get it? He's pro-choice as long as it's for his daughter. Rich white girls get a choice. Poor girls, black girls, girls with abusive parents and or who live in rural areas…. he wants to decide for them.
And while we're on the subject, let's think about the call that Bristol Palin "has made the right decision." Of course, if you're the daughter of a politically powerful woman and have the love and support of a big and wealthy family, then yeah, keeping the kid might be a right decision. But what if you're alone? What if your family is sqeaking by on $30K a year for five people? What if your father calls you a slut and kicks you out of the house? What if the father of the baby doesn't want to marry you? It's not the right decision for everyone.
Finally, there's the fact that Gov. Palin has recharged the fundy base fo the GOP because she's so violently and unimpeachably pro-life. Not even in the case of rape or incest, she says.
I have miscarried a child. I needed Misoprostal to avoid a D&C. That would probably not be available if Roe v. Wade was reversed. (And make no mistake — with three SCOTUS justices getting ready to retire, that's what would likely happen if the GOP take the White House.)
I had a friend who conceived a child with osteogenesis imperfecta. She aborted, even though, technically, a late-term miscarriage wouldn't have been qualified as dangerous to her, medically. Never mind the mental anguish of carrying a child for months that you know can't live. (I had a cousin born with o.i. who lived an awful and agony-filled three weeks before she died…. I can't imagine bringing a child into this world to suffer that way.)
I'm not clarifing my thoughts much, I'm afraid. Just cataloging the inane idiocies of this past week. I'm sorry. I'll stop.

A frog, an ogre, or Justin Timberlake
June 12, 2007 jamanda	3 comments
So, I just saw Shrek the Third. If you haven't, and you care, the following is spoilery.
It terrifies me that I have a daughter in this day and age, in this country, in this place, in this culture. Because there are so many … misogynistic assumptions built into so much of our popular culture that it makes me want to throw things across the room.
What's this got to do with Shrek? (Which I mildly enjoyed, btw.) Well, the whole premise of the movie is that Fiona's dad (a frog) is dying. He names Fiona and Shrek heirs. The only other heir is this spindly kid named Arthur who goes to school elsewhere. He dies. Shrek journeys to find Arthur (voiced by Justin Timberlake and drawn like… well, Justin Timberlake ten years ago) because he doesn't want to be king.
Does no one notice that Fiona's mom — The Queen — Julie friggin Andrews — is standing right there? This kingdom would rather have a snorting, burping, green monster who doesn't want the job than a woman. Would rather have a punk 16-year-old loser that a woman. Had a frog, for the love of little green apples, rather than Julie Andrews!
Then there's the "empowerment" scene where all the fairy-tale princesses decide they are tired of waiting around to be rescued and they burn their bras and get into ass-kicking mode. Except, they don't… They maybe prod a little buttock and there's a great scene with Snow White, the trilling birds, and the opening chords from "The Immigrants Song," but the rest of it is…. lame. Fiona, who has Trinity-like bullet-time moves in the first two movies, doesn't do a damned thing. When the castle gets invaded, they made good their escape (yay) but then get caught right away.
I just keep thinking about a scene in one of Tamora Pierce's novels when someone is complaining that women have always fought, especially while the men were away. Says one character: "My aunt lit barrels of lard and had them catapulted on to Scanran ships this summer." Replies another: "As would any lady of breeding."
But Fiona just… fails.
(More on the inestimable Ms. Pierce in a minute.)
And she's not the only one. Summer movies are pretty down on girls this summer. Nancy Drew — an ur girl=power character — gets mocked mercilessly in a new film this summer. Bee Power features an almost entirely male cast … when all worker bees are females. There isn't one female Transformer. (Okay, they are robots, but you see my point.)
I know there's a "boy movement," saying that our culture really does damage to little boys. I have to say that I'm not sure I buy that. I mean, it's a toxic culture and tends to be bad for everyone, but this move to make more books/movies/tv shows "for boys" isn't good for boys or for girls. And I know there isn't enough out there for girls — or what is out there is just what I call "pink ghetto" stuff. You ever see the "girls' products" at Lego? It sucks. Check out a popular Amazon list for "Teen Books for Every Girl". The collected Pepto-pink of the covers, seen en masse, look like Tinkerbell barfed all over your screen. And, please Goddess, don't look at the American Girl website.
The amazing and wonderful Ms. Pierce (she's a children's author who writes female characters that really kick ass. Her Alanna books got me through the years between 13 and 15) once said at a lecture I saw her give: "The movement in young adult books is to write more books for boys, because there's a feeling they are getting shorted. But I looked through the whole sci-fi and fantasy book catalog for the upcoming season and there wasn't one book with a female protagonist."
And I'm guessing in the other genres, all the female protagonists were too-cool fashionistas like the Beacon Street Girls or reading Love Letters from too-cute boys or viciously stabbing each other in the back with other Gossip Girls. Perhaps she's hoping that I really am a royal in exile and she'll turn out to be a princess. (Though, wasn't Julie Frigging Andrews the queen in that, too?) This is the crap they market to my daughter?
I firmly believe that you fight bad information with more information. I've always said that if she wants to read those horrible pink books, I'll just flood her with good role models. But where the hell am I going to find those? Tammy Pierce only writes so many books!
Okay, that was ranty. I'll stop. But I'm really exhausted that no one even thought to ask the Queen to stay on.

I was going to title this "Shit that pisses me off," when I realized that most of my posts will probably subscribe to that particular title. So instead I'm going be specific and say that smug moms piss me off.
For instance, over Easter weekend, The Husband, The Child, and I were on a marathon family visit. We'd spent the better part of two weeks juggling this and that to make sure that The Child kept to her usual schedule for her nap and her bedtime. This took much much more wrangling than it should have. All of these people had kids. They profess to understand that, yes, napping is important and an overloaded 15 month old toddler is no fun for Grandma or for Mom. And yet they remain unwilling to make dinner at 3 instead of 2.
But that's not the point of this rant. The point is that when we pulled into venue No. 5, The Child was still asleep. So we left the car idling in the driveway and I pulled out a book ("It Must Have Been Something I Ate," go, read it now) and read while she slept. The Husband went in to schmooze with his family. I was out there at least an hour while she finished her all important nap.
Now, it's my understanding that this is fairly common. Babies like to sleep in moving cars. They made a terrible "Mad About You" ep about it, for the love of little green apples. And if you turn the car off, it usually wakes them up. Certainly it always wakes her up.
As I explained this to my … my husband's father's brother's wife. My aunt-in-law? … to Sh., I added that I felt awful doing it because idling is so bad for the environment and all that gas I'm burning. And she turns to me with this slap-inducing smirk on her face and says in a tremendously sing-song voice, "Isn't it amazing how your politics change once you have kids?"
"No," says I. "Actually I've become more eco-centric since The Child was born. I want to leave a better world to her. I was just saying that I was going to upgrade my http://www.terrapass.com/ because of it."
"Oh," says she, and turns away, with this look like, "reality will soon intrude on your ridiculous idealism." In fact, she said almost those very words to me later about something else. ("The Overachievers." Go, read it.)
It was an annoying episode, but Sh. is an annoying person, so it wasn't surprising. But I got to thinking about how often I hear smug and snide satisfaction in the voices of people — usually older moms — when I admit that one of my ideals has fallen to expediency.
When I wound up using disposable diapers instead of cloth, my mother's best friend made some pointed comments. When my mother-in-law saw me feeding The Child jarred baby food instead of homemade, she launched into a spiel about how great it was that I finally "came down to earth" about child rearing. (Imagine her face when I explained that the only reason I was using jarred was because the homemade stuff had gotten left behind accidentally.)
Moms keep getting told that we need to do this, that, and the other thing. We need to make sure that baby has enough carbs (but complex only), proteins (lean only), and fats (good only), as well as enough fruits and vegetables (a whole rainbow each day!). We need to teach them conflict resolution and good exercise habits by our own behavior. We need to respond to them positively when they cry to foster attachment but not dote on them to create spoiled kids. Books, television, pediatricians, grandparents, other moms, everyone tells us what to do — ideally.
And then we mock the Mom who tries to adhere to that. We portray her as an uptight neurotic control freak (a al Charlotte from Sex and the City or Bree from Desperate Housewives) — an object of comedic ridicule. Or we spend entire plot-lines (in books, tv, movies) knocking those ideals out from under her and jeering at how hard she clings to the "unrealistic" goals that we've shoved down her throat. When she finally knuckles under the pile of outrageous, comflicting, impossible demans that we've shackeled moms with, we cheer with venom at how she finally became a normal person.
Well, fuck all those smug moms. I get that I can't do everything — I get that my ideals are not feasible for the real world. But I'm going to try, damn-it. I'm going to try to make sure The Child eats organic and wears natural fibers and learns about charity and conflict avoidance.
And when I fail — which I know I will — I won't bother asking for your sympathy. But I'll thank you not to celebrate.

I remember when people complained that TV commercials did not reflect reality. They said that 20 percent of the population was black, so 20 percent of the people in commercials should be black, thus reflecting the ratio of black to white in the country. Not an unfair proposal. And so it became the norm to see more black people in commercials and in TV shows as it should have been.
Fast forward to today, and if TV commercials are to show the norms of what is in the country now, then that would mean, as I see it, that almost all couples are biracial or gay, with hardly any single color, black or white, straight couples. This is not reality. When did we get so far from equal representation of the races that started it all?
Also way back when, comedy was supposed to be just that — comedy, a way to get around the tensions of the times. Remember "All in The Family" or "The Jeffersons," where these shows had leads that were prejudiced, but were shown in a way that revealed the lunacy of the people that practiced such hatred, but also how they could unite when some other "type" came into "their" area. They did it with comedy and made it funny. Now it is done with malice and nastiness, and just looking to needle the other "side." Also in those days, the language was clean. Today, you hear words that were banned from TV and would have gotten your show taken off the air, but I guess that's progress. And you wonder where your kids get it from.
Now we come to a topic that will get a lot of people spinning — abortion. In years gone by, if you were pregnant but not married, you went away until you had the baby. You came back after the baby was born, even though everyone knew where you were. No one spoke about it out of respect. Abortion was out of the question, it was against God's law.
Then people decided that their bodies were theirs and God had nothing to do with it. At that time, abortion was to be safe, legal and rare, and only to save the life of the mother. Then it seemed that every mother's life was in danger. Come to today, and in New York state you can get an abortion up to the due date, supposedly if the mother is in danger.
In Virginia, it was proposed, but not passed, that the baby could be aborted even if labor had started. The governor proposed that the baby be born, then kept "comfortable," then resuscitated, if necessary, then he and the mother would decide what to do. If you remember, a few years ago Dr. Gosnell was put in jail for something very similar. Yes, that is outright murder, (infanticide).
A few years ago, I even heard a celebrity say she would not feel whole until she got her first abortion, and recently there was a report of a website where a woman was telling young girls that abortion was not only okay to do, but that God wanted you to do it. This was not only totally wrong from the religious angle, but no one but the parents should be teaching their children about this subject at that age.
This decision (New York's) was applauded by the people who were at his announcement. I never thought people would be so happy to be applauding the ability to murder little babies. Where is their right to life? Why are the people who scream about illegals' children on the border being ripped from their mothers' arms, not screaming about these babies literally being ripped from their mothers' bellies?
Now they want socialism. Socialism leads to communism, and it doesn't work anywhere in the world. Look at Russia, Venezuela or any communist country in the world. As a matter of fact, when we first started this country, we tried it, but quickly saw that it did not work and abandoned that idea. If you remember, we actually went to war against communism and a lot of great men died to keep us free. If you go that route, your freedoms go with it. Let's not try it here again and ruin this great country.

The manuscript was probably written in Iceland. The Jónsbók is incomplete at the end. The first page begins the text with a large decorative initial; further larger initials coloured in red, green and yellow are found on folios 2v, 8r, 13r, 28v, 41r and 53v. Smaller decorative initials in blue and red in a variety of styles can be found throughout. The margins contain a number of drawings of fashionable humans, heads and fantasy creatures.

I had heard of Asset Opportunities professional expertise through other friends who had invested and approached them to diversify my investment portfolio. They gave me a few options, some off plan and some complete, including being shown project images from a site visit by their MD. The transaction process was smooth and we are enjoying good yields. What my wife and I loved was the professionalism and support since, and are looking forwards to growing a portfolio with Asset Opportunities in future.
Asset Opportunities, thanks for the recommendations over last few years. I'm just completing a successful and profitable exit now on an investment you put me into – and I noticed some other opportunities you referred my way which I didn't take up have gone on to do well! All the best.
