Simplicity - branded clothing-Guangzhou and Su Clothing Co., Ltd AI118 designer brand clothing
Big sound sound, elephant invisible. I look forward to and love the beauty of "no self, no phase, infinite". The simplicity beyond time and space is the simplicity, silence and aloofness beyond the mundane world. So I began to try to strip away the unnecessary, the superfluous, the layers of the essence of happiness, the essence of life. Start by talking less and doing more. Start by eating simply. Start by going to bed early and waking up early. Start by enjoying a breeze and a ray of sunshine. Start with every present thought. This is also the design concept of "Jane" of AILL8 linen shop, which wants to convey -- simple, often beautiful.
So, from now on, look for the beauty in the Jane around you. Is a leaf blown by the wind, swaying in the sun; Is a little stone wet by the rain; A solitary sail that waves on the sea. To create the wisdom of "Jane" in life. Wear simple clothes, put on simple makeup, cook vegan vegetables, and buy items that you love and have a daily value. Forget about the things and people that are weighing you down.
Life was originally simple, originally light.
Jane's life is not casual, it is not without pursuit. Zen thought pays attention to the ultimate purity, and in the Eastern people's bones, also infected with the traditional thought. In spite of all the variety and splendor of our lives now, deep down inside us we still yearn for a pure, light, real life.
"A perfect design is not because there is nothing superfluous to add, but because there is nothing superfluous to be removed." -- "Towards the Essence of Simplicity"
Hit Delete on Life and Mind,
Empty the past. Empty the impurities.
Start all over again.
Cut off troubles and discard unnecessary.
Life was pure, life was simple.

The teardown experts from iFixit flew halfway around the world to be there when March 16 rolled past the International Date Line into Australia. iFixit's team was the first in line to buy an iPad at a Telstra store in Melbourne, and set immediately to disassembling the device to poke at its innards. Unsurprisingly, most of the inside is occupied by a massive 42.5Whr battery.
Prying off the glass cover and Retina screen revealed the part numbers for the display panel. It appears to be made by Samsung, with part numbers matching a pattern used for previous Samsung panels. Rumors had suggested that LG and Sharp were also considered as suppliers for the iPad 3's 9.7" 2048x1536 pixel display, though it seems that Samsung is the only supplier pumping out enough volume for Apple at launch.
"LG and Sharp are likely to pick up volume production soon, in April," IHS iSuppli analyst Vinita Jakhanwal told Wired on Wednesday.
iFixit's teardown also double-confirmed that the iPad 3 comes with 1GB of RAM. Two 512MB Elpida LP DDR2 packages are soldered on the logic board underneath the A5X processor.
Other chips include a Broadcom 802.11n-compatible Wi-Fi chip with Bluetooth 4.0 support as well as an FM transceiver, an Apple-branded power management IC, Toshiba-made NAND flash, and a Qualcomm MDM9600 baseband.
The Qualcomm MDM9600 is a first-generation combination LTE, HSPA, and EV-DO baseband chip, and we expected to see the second-gen MDM9615, which is supposed to be smaller and more power efficient. Now, however, it seems those chips are not available in iPad-level volumes from Qualcomm. We think the MDM9615 is likely to appear later this year if Apple ships an LTE-compatible iPhone, however.
Because of the increased battery draw of the MDM9600 and Retina display, Apple had to significantly increase the iPad's battery capacity. The original iPad had a 24.8Whr battery, and Apple increased that slightly to 25Whr in the iPad 2 while shaving off nearly 5mm of thickness. Though the iPad 3 is just 0.6mm thicker than the iPad 2, it boasts a 42.5Whr battery—an impressive 70 percent capacity improvement.
The revised three-cell design appears to be slightly larger than the battery in the iPad 2—each measures about 125 x 65 x 4 mm, according to iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens. The cells in the iPad 2 measure 108 x 63 x 2.7mm, so the iPad 3 battery is actually about 70 percent larger. Earlier speculation suggested that Apple had somehow significantly improved on the power density of the cells, but our calculations show otherwise. Apple was just able to more efficiently pack in the components—and increase the overall device thickness ever so slightly—to make the battery larger.
Be sure to head over to iFixit to get a closer look at how Apple jammed all the iPad's hardware into its aluminum unibody shell.

Taking a walk by the waterfront by the Singapore Indoor Stadium these days, it would be hard to imagine a time not so long ago when looking across to Tanjong Rhu, a very different scene would have greeted one's eyes. Where million dollar condominium units housed in cream coloured blocks now dominate the view across, the scene a quarter of a century ago would have been one of wooden boats, wooden jetties, slipways and drab looking structures running along a body of water the surface of which would have been littered not just by rubbish that had found its way into the three rivers that flowed into the basin, but also by carcasses of dead animals that floated down from the many farms that has once been located upstream.
Tanjong Rhu translates from Malay into the Cape of Casuarina (Trees). Once described as a "curious ridge of sand which runs across from Katong to Kallang Bay", its tip, known as "Sandy Point" has had a long association with the boat building and repair trade, having been an area designated for the trade by Sir Stamford Raffles as far back as 1822, with Captain Flint being the first to set a company to do that in the same year. By the 1850s, the trade was already well established around Sandy Point and the trade continued to thrive in the area even after the first graving dock was constructed in New Harbour (Keppel Harbour) in 1859. Over the years, among the business that found their way to Sandy Point were the well established names such as British boatbuilder John I. Thornycroft which set up in 1926 and United Engineers – which had a longer history. Thornycroft became Vosper Thornycroft in 1967 following the 1966 merger of the parent company with Vosper Limited in the UK. Vosper Thornycroft's Singapore operations in turn merged with United Engineer's in 1967. The yard unfortunately got into financial difficulties due to the mid 1980s recession and went into voluntary liquidation in early 1986.
A well established organisation involved in shipbuilding still around that can trace its history to Sandy Point is the newbulding arm of Keppel Corporation, Keppel Singmarine. The subsidiary of what is now Keppel Offshore and Marine is a merger of Singmarine and Singapore Slipway. It was Singapore Slipway that had been established at Sandy Point in 1887 when a group of merchants bought William Heard and partner Campbell Heard and Co's slipway which was set up earlier in the decade and formed the Slipway and Engineering Company. Keppel Singmarine's yard operated at Tanjong Rhu until the early 1990s.
Besides the shipyards, another area of Tanjong Rhu a short distance away from its tip that wasn't very pretty was at the area known as Kampong Arang. That had been an area that was dominated by wooden jetties, used by charcoal traders to offload charcoal from tongkangs (wooden lighters) coming in from Indonesia and Thailand. The charcoal trade was established in the area in 1954 when charcoal traders were uprooted from the waterfront along the reclaimed land south of Beach Road to allow for the construction of Merdeka Bridge and the Nicoll Highway. The once thriving charcoal trade operated at Tanjong Rhu up until January 1987 when the trade was already in decline. At its height in the late 1950s, as many as 300 tongkangs plied between the two countries and Tanjong Rhu, falling to 60 by the time the 1970s had arrived when demand fell as many households had by then already switched to using gas and electric stoves. The traders were relocated to Lorong Halus (only 15 of the 40 that operated at Tanjong Rhu continued at Lorong Halus with demand mainly from the reexport of charcoal than from the local market) in early 1987 at the tail end of the decade long Kallang Basin cleanup efforts.
Beyond the cleanup efforts, the face of Tanjong Rhu has also been altered by the land reclamation south of the cape which has increased its land mass. The land reclamation, started in the early 1970s, was originally intended to allow for the construction of the East Coast Parkway and was further expanded to give the area now referred to as Marina East – at the tip of which the Marina Barrage now closes the channel between it and Marina South which has turned Marina Bay and the Kallang Basin into a huge reserve of a much needed resource, fresh water. The shifting out of the trades from the area were complete by the time the mid 1990s had arrived and allowed much of the northern waterfront area of Tanjong Rhu to be developed into a residential area and the basin into a recreational area that it is today.

Shallow thoughts from NFL Week 10...
The Bears are the best team in the NFC. But what does that even mean?
Steve McNair for NFL MVP ain't so crazy. (OK: How about AFC MVP?)
9-0 two years in a row says more about the state of the NFL than the Colts.
"WTF?!" of the Week: Falcons and Vick.
When all the excitement of a Packers win is "Brett Favre didn't throw any INTs!" you know his era is long over.
Who else started David Garrard? Ugh.
Is it so crazy to say that, at 3-6, the Dolphins are the most dangerous Wild Card contender in the AFC?
How many NFL coaches can say they own Bill Belichick's ass? Add Eric Mangini to the club.
Gore in '06! If the Chargers win "2nd Half Performance of the Year," does Frank Gore win "1st Half Performance of the Year" for rushing for 148 yards?
As it turns out, yes, the Redskins DO stink. (Portis out for the year? Things CAN get worse.)
Was that the real Steelers or was that the real Saints?
Who else has no faith in the Broncos as Super Bowl contenders?
I guess Seahawks K Josh Brown owns the Rams even more than Mangini owns Belichick.
Wait: Or is that Tony Romo for NFL MVP? (How about NFC MVP?)
MNF: Bruce Gradkowski in primetime on national TV. You cannot help but feel the excitement.
Got your own shallow analysis of the games, results, subplots and storylines from Sunday's schedule? Add them to the comments.

The Eastern and Southern African Management Institute (ESAMI) is an intergovernmental regional management development centre. ESAMI's head office is located in Arusha, Tanzania.
The institute was established with the primary objective of providing the region with trained personnel in a number of critical areas including policy management, transportation management, financial management, information technology management, health management, human resources management, project management, energy and environment management and gender management among others.
The focus was to train middle to senior managers from the region to improve their managerial performance taking into consideration the global issues but with a regional focus relevant to the African environment.
The Eastern and Southern African Management Institute (ESAMI) is a Pan African Regional Management Development Centre owned by ten member governments from the Eastern and Southern African region. These are Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. It is a service and market-oriented institution offering high level specialised management training, consultancy, education programmes and action- oriented management research services. Other countries which regularly participate in ESAMI management development programmes include Lesotho, Botswana, South Africa, Angola, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Eritrea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Ghana, The Gambia, Sudan, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso.
In May, 1997 the UN Economic Commission for Africa officially designated ESAMI as The African Centre of Excellence in Management Development. This recognition has necessitated ESAMI to extend its services to all countries in Africa. To meet Africa's management challenge in the new millennium ESAMI continues to provide high quality, client centred management development interventions throughout Africa.
ESAMI's mandate is to improve the performance and management effectiveness of public, private, and international organizations in Africa. This will be done through:
By 2020, ESAMI is an internationally recognized leadership and business transformation hub
Our mission is to transform institutions through leadership development, innovative education, management training, new knowledge generation and advisory services.
Our universe of clients will be individuals, public, private and international organizations.
Since its establishment in 1980, ESAMI has made significant contributions in the area of human resources and management development in the region. Its role as a premier Regional Management Development Institute has expanded substantially as a result of increased client demand by countries of the region and beyond. To date over 75, 000 middle and top level personnel in the government, public, private and civic organisations have attended open management development programmes offered by the Institute.
ESAMI programmes are based on the emerging needs of the client throughout the continent. The Institute has continued to make sure that programmes benefit from research carried out in the form of needs assessment and participants' feedback. Programme appraisal, tracer studies and impact assessment will form important part of ESAMI's training and capacity building process. The training programmes presented in this prospectus will have a strong link between management and performance improvement at individual and organizational level.
Tailor made programmes will be undertaken to address clients' specific problems and issues. These are normally conducted on request and at venues and dates convenient to client.
ESAMI launched an Executive MBA Programme which has proved to be quite successful. To date the Business School enrolment stands at 3600 students spread in ten campuses in Africa.
ESAMI has also introduced Certificate, Diploma and Bachelors' degree programmes in Business management.
As a management development centre, ESAMI has been a converging centre where people from different countries meet to share and exchange experiences in a regional framework. The Institute aims at enhancing this interaction in order to facilitate improvements in managerial performance and effectiveness of client organizations. As one of the largest regional Institutions in Africa and a premier in management development ESAMI's capability is largely ingrained in the following qualities:

This weekend I had the pleasure of seeing the new documentary Catching Babies. Claudia Booker of Birthing Hands DC organized the viewing.
The film is about a midwifery school in El Paso Texas called Maternidad La Luz. It's a unique place–an intensive midwifery program that trains non-nurse midwives in a 13 month program that is extremely hands on. Two of the student midwives in the film describe catching their first babies just months after arriving at the school. Students who complete the program can work as out-of-hospital midwives across the country, depending on the laws in their state governing non-nurse midwives.
I actually visited the school in 2007, did an overnight where I shadowed students and midwives as they did their visits and attended births. I went because at the time I was still planning on becoming a midwife, and I was excited by the possibility of attending a school that almost entirely catered to the Latina community.
Because the school is based in El Paso, steps from the border with Juarez, Mexico (the two cities are actually contiguous, the only thing separating them a bridge that represents the border) the vast majority of the women who birth at Maternidad La Luz (it is a free-standing birth center, as well as a school) are Mexican and Spanish-speaking. Many are not US citizens, but living on the border are allowed to travel back and forth with a certain area on what are called "radial visas."
The film is really well done. The filmmakers are both women of color, which comes across clearly in their perspective and in who they choose to focus on as subjects of the film. We see one African-American student midwife, another who identifies as indigenous Mexica and grew up in El Paso, along with two other student midwives as they take their journey to midwifery. Throughout their stories is the birth stories of the women they support during pregnancy and birth, all of whom are Spanish-speaking women of color.
This focus of the film stood in stark contrast to my own experience when I visited the clinic in 2007.
Despite being the only midwifery school in the country that offers a full scholarship to one woman of color each term, what I experienced when I visited was quite different than the picture painted by the documentary. When I was there (granted, for only two days) there were only one or two students of color in attendance. The rest of the midwifery students, and the majority of the staff, were white women. But race was only one factor that left me with questions about the experience of the school–I was also surprised to learn that not all the students spoke Spanish. I shadowed one student midwife who clearly was nowhere near fluent, and it caused a lot of communication problems between her and the patients she was attending to.
I left that experience feeling some dis-ease with the seeming divide between the students attending the school, and the women getting care there. One of the reasons that MLL appeals to midwifery students is because the incredibly high volume of births allows folks to get through their training at much quicker pace than other schools and birth centers that see only a trickle of births in comparison.
These questions of language capacity, cultural competency and race are true in health care settings around the country–particularly teaching settings. All of the hospitals I have volunteered in as a doula have been teaching hospitals, and all of them have attended a high percentage, if not a majority, of Spanish-speaking folks. The student doctors and residents have not mirrored the demographics of the population they serve, either in language ability or race.
It's hard to say what the whole picture is at MLL now, many years after my visit, from watching this film. There is a scene of one of the head midwives teaching a class to the students in Spanish, and almost all of the midwives and students shown on camera spoke fluent Spanish, regardless of race. There was also one scene of one of the midwives helping another with her Spanish, teaching her grammar. My understanding is that Spanish-language instruction is not a part of the curriculum, and that students are expected to arrive with existing fluency, and that is indicated in the requirements for admission.
Despite all these concerns, I still feel strongly that a school and birth center of this type are an incredible resource to the midwifery community, and the El Paso community. I'm so glad this film is out there, and projecting how clearly this space is centered around the experience of the women who birth there. Anyone considering MLL as part of their midwifery education should understand who they will be serving, and prepare adequately. Learning Spanish will likely serve you as a midwife in any setting you end up practicing.
See more about the film here, which I believe is still traveling around for screenings. You can also "rent" the film for screenings in your area, and part of the proceeds go back to Maternidad La Luz.
If you have experiences studying at Maternidad La Luz, I'd love to hear them! Leave thoughts in comments or email me (email@example.com) to arrange a guest post.

Well Paula Deen has made the news again and in a good way this time. It would seem that she has positioned herself for a comeback after her huge blunder and admitting she used racial slurs in the past. Considering The Food Network and other supporters of Paula's backed away from her because of her admission, this news is a step up for her in the direction of repairing her career. Although I don't condone racism, I do believe that everyone deserves a chance to redeem themselves. No stones thrown in glass houses by me!!
Check out the story as reported by the Huffington Post:
Paula Deen Is Launching A Digital Network, Y'All
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Celebrity cook Paula Deen, whose career was derailed after she admitted using racial slurs, is going digital.
Paula Deen Ventures, a new company formed to help launch a comeback for Deen, announced plans Wednesday for the creation of the Paula Deen Network. The paid subscription-based network is set to launch in September and will be accessible by computer, smartphone or tablet.
The network will feature daily programming in an unscripted format with new recipes, episodes and cooking tools.
"We're going to have so much fun being together and cooking up some wonderful new and classic dishes," Deen said in a news release. "Y'all can get my recipes, tips and cooking anytime you want — this is for you. I can't wait to crank up the oven and get cooking for the people I love: my family, my friends and my fans!"
Production for the network began last month at a new studio in Savannah that has been designed to look like the set of her first television show, "Paula's Home Cooking." The set was built to accommodate a live studio audience, and guest appearances are planned.
The announcement of the digital network is the latest step in a comeback strategy Deen kicked off in February when she announced a deal with the Najafi Companies, an Arizona-based private investment firm that's putting millions into rebooting her public career.
Wednesday's announcement comes about a year after a sworn statement by Deen that she had used racial slurs in the past became public. The Food Network and other corporate sponsors soon parted company with Deen. Her offending comments surfaced during a court deposition in a lawsuit by a former employee making harassment and discrimination claims against Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers. The suit was settled in August.
Deen is currently on a cross-country tour with her 90-minute "Paula Deen Live!" show that features a mix of cooking demonstrations, games with audience members and personal stories. The shows in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on June 21 and 22 will feature a preview of the Paula Deen Network.
In addition to the dishes Deen is known for, she'll also include healthy and budget-friendly meals. The programming for the digital network will include both short-form and long-form content, including shows like "20-Minute Meals," "Paula Cooking Light" and "One Dish, Three Ways."

An Encounter with Fred – A Chapter in Continuing Dirtbag Education
If anyone has earned an honorary membership in a group named Dirty Sox it is Washington's Fred Beckey, sovereign of American DirtBag Climbers.
Editor's Note: Fred Beckey, one of the most influential climbers of all time and the original American Dirtbag, passed away on October 30, 2017 in Seattle, Washington at age 94.
Joe Josephson phoned with an interesting proposal: Fred Beckey had come to town for a reunion of Montana's Dirty Sox Club, a guild of Montana climbers from the 1960s through the 1980s with such piquant nicknames as Dougald, Dog Fuck, Mizner the Terrible, Java Man, Emerfuckingson, Brio B.O., Dr. Z and Rat Hole. If anyone has earned an honorary membership in a group named Dirty Sox it is Washington's Fred Beckey, sovereign of American DirtBag Climbers.
At the reunion at Davy Garbanzo Vaughan's place, five bands played all day, while the hosts and 450 of their friends consumed 10 kegs of beer and two roasted pigs. Beckey, Joe said, had stayed over to recuperate and was bivouacked at the Vaughan homestead. He and Joe were going climbing the next day. Would I like to join them?
Sure. Why not? Fred is 84 and I seldom get to climb with someone older than I am.
Early on the morning of September 11, Joe picked me up, no more than 10 minutes behind schedule. Five minutes before we reached Davy's house, Joe's cell phone rang. It was Davy calling on Beckey's behalf. Beckey was ready and wanted to know where we were.
Beckey's many hundreds of first ascents were not accomplished by being patient with dawdlers.
A few minutes later we pulled into Davy's driveway to be greeted by the peerless Friedrich Wolfgang Beckey. Fred looked and moved like an 84-year-old man with a bad back, bent at the waist as if leaning undeterred into 70 years of gale-force winds. His unkempt mane of graying but far from white hair made him look more like a physics professor than the world's oldest, most prolific mountaineer. Fred greeted us with his trademark smile that could pass for a grimace, and the twinkling eyes of a fervent intelligence that misses little of what attracts its interest and collects less of what does not.
Soon Joe was driving us up Gallatin Canyon on U.S. Highway 191, the most dangerous highway in western America, to Gallatin Tower. Conversation skimmed in wide arcs across several topics, but Fred did not become the most inexhaustible climber in history by getting sidetracked. Mount Assiniboine was on his mind: Who could he get to climb it with him and what might the weather be? Joe had it on good authority that it had just snowed on Assiniboine.
I fucked up, Fred assured us. I really fucked up. Earlier in the season he'd had a partner (or partners), but the timing was wrong for Fred, who really fucked up and didn't go. Maybe he should go to Tuolumne and do Lucky Streaks (5.10), and what did we think?
I said the weather in Tuolumne had a better chance of being good. I didn't say that for Fred to have any chance of getting up either route would optimally require an experienced partner or partners 40 to 60 years his junior. Fred knows this better than I, but no one else his age is talking or even thinking about it. Most people are dead by the time they reach 84. Few of those still standing remain consumed by the passion of their childhood. Fred is the only one I know of who is still climbing, still on the road, still thinking of the next climb, still talking about women with the enthusiastic lustful libido of a wanderer in his 20s, still true to his original vision.
There is purity to Fred Beckey and his path in life.
We gained hints that Assiniboine and Lucky Streaks were candidates for the last four spots in his mysterious book to be about North America's 100 best climbs. Joe is a publisher, and we tried to elicit information, but except for a couple of comments about various (one in particular) fucking publishers from Beckey's fine literary past (two of his titles are Challenge of the North Cascades and Mount McKinley: Icy Crown of North America), we got nothing out of him.
Joe assured him that his information about conditions on Assiniboine was reliable, but Beckey brought up the topic at least 20 times. So, ya think Assiniboine is no good, eh?
No, it just snowed there, Joe repeated.
We reached the turnout and were quickly organized and on the short but steep 20-minute approach to the back side of the tower. With his forward lean and ski poles Fred appeared to walk more comfortably uphill than he did on the flats.
This is a really good trail, Fred observed. Must've taken a lot of work.
Joe was pleased. The trail was built by the Southwest Montana Climbers' Coalition, of which Joe is secretary.
As we approached the tower, Fred noted, Looks like pretty good rock, eh?
Yes, it's good, we both assured him.
Ten steps later he queried, So, ya think Assiniboine is no good, eh?
No, no good.
Tuolumne should be better, eh?
Yes, Tuolumne weather had a better chance.
Joe, hoping to find out if Fred had a publisher in mind, began talking about the perils and rewards of owning his business. Fred didn't say much. I picked up the conversation and commiserated with Joe.
Joe downplayed the rigors by saying, Well, it's not exactly rocket science.
Fred immediately responded, It's not rocket science but it's still work. He steered the conversation into the evils of work, which interferes with climbing, traveling and the other aspects of life. Fred Beckey did not become what he is by shirking the brutal labor required to get up his many climbs. Nor did he do so by embracing a traditional work ethic. Fred's published books are the work of a meticulous, scholarly researcher. He was described by Neil Modie of the Seattle Post Intelligencer as erudite historian, geographer, explorer and author who happens to be a climbing bum.
We didn't find out anything more about the 100 best climbs in North America.
We reached the base of Gallatin Tower and the three-pitch 5.6 route, and quickly harnessed, racked and roped up. Joe took the first pitch. We had been curious about how Fred would climb and were pleased to see that he climbs just fine, moving with more grace and assurance on vertical rock than he does on horizontal ground. His enjoyment was clear. Fred is walking, talking, climbing and grimacing proof of the existential dictum often attributed to Jean Paul Sartre: It's not what you can't do anymore; it's what you can do now.
I took the second lead on pretty good rock and pretty spotty protection. Fred, who did not reach the age of 84 by being comfortable with spotty protection, watched closely, asking, Got any gear up there?
I was amused, informed and gratified that Fred paid attention to every detail of the climb. Fred Beckey gives us great hope that the aging process need not negate the significance, the meaning or the present moment in action of the physical life.
The second pitch ended at a small ledge 15 feet below a huge one at the base of the third pitch. Fred led this section between ledges with an aggressive clan unavailable to any other 84-year-old in the history of climbing.
As we were getting ready for the last and hardest pitch, Fred asked again about Assiniboine.
I led this pitch, rated 5.6, but members of the Dirty Sox Club always practiced the murky art of the sandbag. The top of the tower offers a beautiful view of the canyon. It was a crisp, clear day and a pleasure to be where we were, doing what we were doing.
Fred cruised the last pitch, gnarled old hands grasping a hold in just the right way, and we sat on top taking in the sights, the Gallatin River, the canyon, the climbs across the river, the highway with its snarl of trucks and automobiles and frustrated drivers. We talked about the world and about American politics as viewed from the top of Gallatin Tower. Fred was born in Germany in 1923 and immigrated to America as a child. He has a long view, and a powerful scope with a magnification of at least 84X. He is disturbed, baffled, pissed off and alarmed by the war in Iraq and those people in high and low stations who brought it to the world.
We rappelled to the bottom for a late lunch. Fred's was a five-day-old turkey sandwich that came from his girlfriend, who had gotten it from an airline that bungled her flight to Bozeman to meet Fred, but provided her with a free lunch. He offered part of it to us. It's really good, he said, putting forward a worn white roll with white turkey and mayo.
We offered Fred another climb, but his back was sore. So we returned to the car and went back to Davy's. We weren't yet ready to call it a day and say goodbye, so Fred jumped in his Subaru wagon with the crunched-in front and we met a couple of miles down the road at Mama Mac's, a favorite cafe, where Fred bought me carrot cake and coffee with a crisp $20 bill from his wallet. In a hundred years we won't have any use for this stuff, he announced with a smile, plopping the bill on the counter. We might as well use it up while we can.
Fred picked up a small stack of Mama Mac's business cards, which he will use as his own business cards by writing his pertinent information on the back, just one of Fred's personal environmentally sensitive practices.
While we ate, Fred pulled out a well used Fed Ex envelope from which he extracted a printed description of a candidate for his 100 best climbs, one in Arizona I'd never heard about. We talked about climbing, the road, the new library in Bozeman where Fred wanted to do some research. And then Joe and I had to go. Fred announced he'd stay in Mama Mac's a bit longer. He seemed to be pondering whether he was going to go to the library for research, back to Davy's, to Assiniboine, to Tuolumne, to Seattle, or toward some other destination or peak along a road that in a hundred years will seem as exotic to those who read about it as the travels of Marco Polo are to us. Fred's road is traveled in the spirit of Magellan, Stanley, Amundsen, Shackleton, Thesiger, Shipton, Tilman and David-Neel. Joe and I had more mundane duties to attend to.
Dick Dorworth lives in Ketchum, Idaho, and is the author of "Night Driving, Invention of the Wheel & Other Blues, a Memoir". He organizes his life around climbing, skiing and writing

In his Guardian article, "Hands up if you're an individual," Stuart Jeffries offers a brief summary of some social psychology classics. Below, we have included excerpts. After reviewing Milgram's famous experiments on obedience, Jeffries writes:
* * *
This was one of the classic experiments of group psychology, though not all have involved duping volunteers into believing they had electrocuted victims. Group psychology has often involved experiments to explain how individuals' behaviours, thoughts and feelings are changed by group pressures.
It is generally thought to have originated in 1898 when Indiana University psychologist Norman Triplett asked children to spin a fishing reel as fast as they could. He found that when the children were doing the task together they did so much faster than when alone. Triplett found a similar result when studying cyclists – they tended to record faster times when riding in groups rather than alone, a fact that he explained because the "bodily presence of another contestant participating simultaneously in the race serves to liberate latent energy not ordinarily available".
More than a century later, social psychology explores how other people make us what we are; how unconscious, sometimes ugly, impulses make us compliant and irrational. Why, for example, do I smoke even though I know it could be fatal? How can there be such a gap between my self-image and my behaviour (this is known as cognitive dissonance)?
Why do high-level committees of supposed experts make disastrous decisions (for example, when a Nasa committee dismissed technical staff warnings that the space shuttle Challenger should not be launched, arguing that technical staff were just the kind of people to make such warnings – this is seen as a classic case of so-called "groupthink")?
Why do we unconsciously obey others even when this undermines our self-images (this is known as social influence)? What makes us into apathetic bystanders when we see someone attacked in the street – and what makes us have-a-go-heroes? What makes peaceful crowds turn into rioting mobs?
Group psychological studies can have disturbing ramifications. Recently, Harvard psychologist [and Situationist contributor] Mahzarin Banaji used the so-called implicit association test to demonstrate how unconscious beliefs inform our behaviour. [Sh]e concluded from [her] research that the vast majority of white, and many black respondents recognised negative words such as "angry", "criminal" or "poor" more quickly after briefly seeing a black face than a white one. . . .
* * *
The nature of conformism has obsessed social psychologists for decades. In 1951, psychologist Solomon Asch did an experiment in which volunteers were asked to judge the correct length of a line by comparing it with three sample lines. The experiment was set up so that there was an obviously correct answer. But Asch had riddled a group with a majority of stooges who deliberately chose the wrong answer. The pressure of the majority told on Asch's volunteers. He found that 74% conformed with the wrong answer at least once, and 32% did so all the time.
What impulses were behind such conformism? Social psychologists have long considered that we construct our identities on the basis of others' attitudes towards us. Erving Goffman, in The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life (1959), analysed social encounters as if each person was engaged in a dramatic performance, and suggested that each such actor was a creation of its audience.
Through such performances of self we internalise role expectations and gain positive self-esteem. We cast other individuals and groups in certain roles. Such behaviour may make some of us unconscious racists, but it also lubricates the wheels of social life.
French psychologist Serge Moscovici developed what is called social representation theory, arguing that shared beliefs and explanations held by a group of society help people to communicate effectively with one another. He explored the notion of anchoring, whereby new ideas or events in social life are given comforting redescriptions (or social representations). For example, a group of protesters against a motorway might be described demeaningly by the road lobby as a "rent-a-mob," while the protesters themselves might anchor themselves more falteringly as "eco-warriors".
* * *
Social psychologists have also been long-obsessed by the psychology of crowds. In 1895, French social psychologist Gustave le Bon described crowds as mobs in which individuals lost their personal consciences. His book, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, influenced Hitler and led many later psychologists to take a dim view of crowds.
After the war, German critical theorist Theodor Adorno wrote of the destructive nature of "group psychology." Even as late as 1969, Stanford psychologist [and Situationist contributor] Philip Zimbardo argued that a process of deindividuation makes participants in crowds less rational.
Most recent crowd psychology has not been content to brand crowds necessarily irrational. Instead, it has divided into contagion theory (whereby crowds cause people to act in a certain way), convergence theory (where crowds amount to a convergence of already like-minded individuals) and emergent norm theory (where crowd behaviour reflects the desires of participants, but it is also guided by norms that emerge as the situation unfolds). . . .
In the age of MySpace, Facebook and online dating, group psychologists are now trying to find out what goes on when we present ourselves to the world online, how we are judged for doing so and how groups are formed online. Other social psychology touches on such voguish areas of research as social physics (which contends that physical laws might explain group behaviour) and neuroeconomics (which looks at the role of the brain when we evaluate decisions and interact with each other), but the age-old concerns remain part of our zeitgeist.

Last Thursday eve, at Manhattan's Kehilath Jeshurun, Allison Josephs – blogger extraordinaire at Jew In the City – launched her video (JITC's Orthodox Jewish All Stars) featuring 10 Jewish Orthodox celebrities. The event was proudly sponsored by Freeda Wigs, The Patchke Princess, Gift of Life and this very blog (The Kosher Scene), among others.
Allison was interviewed by Marshall Hyman from The Wall Street Journal…
…as well as by Atara Abersfeld from The Jewish Press, Tammy Marks from New Jersey's Jewish Star and more.
A delicious latke bar (with lots of topping choices), was presented by mother and daughter catering team of Michicas, as well as a donut fondue bar and a superb selection of Israeli wines by Shlomo Blashka (from the Royal Wine Corporation).
Sara Lasry (The Patchke Princess and Kosher Street) this event's main organizer, followed Dimitry Salita. She explained the significance of this event and what made it important to the media.
A member of the Maccabeats lit the candles for the sixth night of Chanukah…
After the lighting, Allison herself gave an emotional speech about her 7 year journey of breaking down stereotypes about Orthodox Judaism. In describing the occasion and her video she said:
This video celebrates freedom – Chanukah is about freedom and contrary to popular belief, Orthodoxy is freedom – it is freedom to seek our path in an elevated way, to become what we are meant to become, the best possible version of ourselves — in a way that is true and fine and full of substance.
The video features nationally known figures from the world of politics, arts, entertainment, sports, publishing and more. It was not only an enjoyable evening with delicious food and wine, not only was a video launched, but the close to 200 people present saw proof positive (as will anyone else watching it) that being an Orthodox Jew does not in any way shape or form preclude following one's dreams or reaching the highest pinnacles in one's profession. Nothing of importance is closed to an Orthodox Jew, and neither does he or she need to sacrifice one's beliefs.
During immediately after the speeches, a interesting and enjoyable music ensemble took over, The Brooklyn Jazz Warriors
Bravo, bravissimo Allison! I'd be remiss if I did not again mention Sara Lasry's herculean efforts, the driving force, in putting together this beautiful event in just two weeks.

Republicans realize their goal
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former Congressional Budget Office director was interviewed on the PBSNewsHour and said, "It's been noted for 10 years by the CBO among others that we cannot grow our way out of this, we can't tax our way out of this. It's an entitlement spending problem that has to be brought under control."his has been noted for the past ten years, then that brings us back to the Bush years when deficits resulting from tax cuts didn't matter. The point of tax cuts was to shrink government, a decades old Republican ideology promoted throughout the sixties and seventies by economists like Milton Friedman. Reduce taxes, reduce government and let the free market reign. Doing so will being economic harmony and success for the country.
After decades of letting the "free market reign" with tax cuts and sub prime junk bonds wrecking the economy, now, the new scapegoat on the block is: it's the "people" and their entitlement programs causing all the budget woes.
Focusing solely on cutting entitlement programs blinds them from focusing on jobs creation. So far, the only action Republicans have taken on creating jobs, has been tax cuts for the filthy rich "jobs creators" with very few protections for the workers. Has anyone given any thought to the long term damage high unemployment will bring to the future?
High unemployment is a concern for the Federal Reserve, the central Bank. Maybe the bankers, the real money people, understand high unemployment is the biggest threat to the future, not "entitlement spending".
Banks and corporations are sitting on trillions, refusing to invest in the future, while billionaires like hedge funder Pete Peterson peddle propaganda to convince a majority that economic salvation is not through jobs, but cuts in Social Security. The real objective behind their focus on the "entitlement spending problem" is the elimination of Social Security; which has been a Republican goal since the Reagan era.

GROTON — Despite declining enrollment, administrators at the Groton-Dunstable Regional School District submitted a proposed budget for fiscal 2014 that increases overall spending by 2.3 percent.
The bottom line budget for fiscal 2014 came to $35,541,942 compared to this year's budget of $34,891,906 a year in which there was zero increase from 2012 which decreased from the year before.
The news came at the School Committee's meeting Wednesday, when the proposed budget was unveiled by interim Superintendent of Schools Anthony Bent.
Dunstable representative James Frey said that even with the "fairly modest increase requested," his town would find it impossible to meet its assessment.
"Changes at the state level are having an impact and putting us in a difficult position," Frey told the School Committee.
Frey said the region still faced a weak economy and that Dunstable's share of the cost for school funding was 50 percent higher than it could support.
"We need to look at how to reduce that for the town," Frey said. "There must be more work done (on the budget before it was acceptable)."
In the budget for 2014, Dunstable's assessment would come to $4,257,679, an increase of $204,038, while that for Groton's assessment would be $15,366,030, an increase of $640,211.
Driving the increase, aside from some proposed spending by the administration that included fixed costs and payroll increases, is the cost of transportation which Frey said would be losing $80,000 in state funding.
Gerry Martin, the district's director of business and finance, said numbers being used for local aid expected from the state will be uncertain until the spring.
"Given the recent history of budget reductions and one year of no increase, the budget request for fiscal 2014 now requires considerable discussion at the community level," stated Bent. "Per-pupil spending in the regional school district is 11 percent below the average per-pupil spending of school districts in Massachusetts."
However, enrollment figures at Groton-Dunstable show continued decline, falling steadily over the past six years with 28 fewer students (the equivalent of one full classroom) expected next year.
"Enrollment is expected to continue to decline in the coming years," said Bent.
"The challenge associated with the budget this year is to address unmet needs in recent years while not stressing the ability of the towns to provide the resources," said Bent in his remarks in the introduction of the budget. "Though the budget increase of 1.8 percent is moderate, the likelihood of level state aid makes the increase in the local assessments a heavier lift."
In addition to the district's operating budget, administrators also proposed an article for Town Meeting warrants that would seek the appropriation of another $700,955 to pay for more technology in the schools.
"Technology…stands out as the biggest deficit in the overall school program," said Bent. "The needs are sufficiently great that it is unlikely that the school department will be able to meet the needs of students in the 21st century without additional help."
The proposal for the added appropriation also ran into opposition from School Committee members who, in past meetings, had expressed interest in improving the district's position on technology in the classroom.
Groton representative John Giger announced his decision not to support the article on the grounds that the issue of technology had not yet been adequately thought out.
He urged residents to call their representatives on Capitol Hill and press them for more local aid for transportation in upcoming budget negotiations.
Giger was supported by other members of the committee.
Next on the schedule for the proposed budget will be a meeting of the School Committee on Feb. 27, when members are expected to vote on its adoption. Then, changes to the budget can force reductions in the bottom line but no new spending can be added.
When a final number is reached, the budget will be submitted to Town Meetings.

'The Last Stand' proves Schwarzenegger is still a star
There are already snappy one-liners a-plenty going around about Arnold Schwarzenegger being "baaack." But anyone watching "The Last Stand" will feel almost immediately that he never went away. The former governor of California returns in his first starring action role since "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" in 2003, now playing the sheriff of a small Arizona town who, in a slight nod to "High Noon," must face a whole lot of bad guys coming his way.
But this is no throwback Western. It takes place now, with some of the action in glitzy Las Vegas, where a Mexican cartel boss makes a spectacular escape while being moved to a prison, some of it in sleepy little Sommerton, Ariz., and a lot of it on the road between those locales, as well as on a stretch toward the Mexican border.
That action involves scads of guns – all sizes and shapes, but a Vickers machine gun nicknamed Vicky practically demands your attention – a high body count, and in place of a typical Western's fastest horse, an insanely fast, 1,000 horsepower Corvette ZR1.
That's bad guy Gabriel Cortez's (Eduardo Noriega) vehicle. But don't worry, Sheriff Owens has the keys to his own road monster, a Camaro ZL1 (Can you say GM product placement?).
Just showing those two cars in separate scenes is enough foreshadowing to let you know there'll be a wild chase between them. In fact, the film is chock-a-block with hints of what's to come. The sheriff has a day off and says he's looking forward to "a quiet weekend." Yeah, right. Town goofball Lewis Dinkum (Johnny Knoxville) has secretly put together a weapons museum. Think that might come in handy later on?
Directed by Korean filmmaker Jee-woon Kim ("The Good, the Bad, the Weird," "I Saw the Devil"), the film features big jolts of numbing violence as well as a gaggle of sight gags. The script even manages to work in a couple of well-placed references to immigration and aging. This is Kim's first English-language film, but he certainly shows his knack for keeping up a furious pace.
Schwarzenegger still holds his own as an action star, though this is more of a repertory cast situation than he's dealt with in the past. And while he pops out a few one-liners, those too, thankfully, are in shorter supply this time.
Other cast members don't fare as well. Jaimie Alexander and Luis Guzman are there simply to, in her case look pretty and act tough, and in his case, be the comic relief. Knoxville, too, is mostly around for some laughs. But Spanish actor Eduardo Noriega adds a nice dose of charisma to the otherwise dangerous villain he plays.
Just enough back-story information is given on the two lead adversaries – the sheriff and the cartel boss – to make their eventual clash interesting. But too much time is spent on an FBI investigation and the agent heading it (Forest Whitaker), when it would have been a lot more fun to concentrate on the older hero and the younger outlaw.
Ed Symkus writes about movies for GateHouse Media.

SC men charged with stealing church's steel beams
WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Two South Carolina are out on bond after being arrested on charges of stealing steel beams worth more than $10,000 from a church near West Columbia where similar thefts had occurred four times in the past.
The Lexington County Sheriff's Department says deputies arrested a 49-year-old man from Lexington and a 28-year-old man from West Columbia on one count each of grand larceny. Deputies say Raymond Wayne Welch and Michael James Hall were arrested Friday and released Saturday from jail after each posted a $20,000 bond.
Sheriff James Metts says the two were arrested after deputies saw them place steel beams on a trailer they had parked outside the House of Praise. Steel beams had been stolen from the church four times in the past and sold for recycling.

The dashboard is less visually appealing than other services and the ActiveCampaign editor doesn't have a revision history.
ActiveCampaign is a great tool, but the interface could use some improvements. ActiveCampaign does not offer multilingual tools for many of its features.

Native Plants of the Woods and Prairie—Published by Oppenheimer Editions
In the spirit of natural history artists of the past, contemporary botanical artist Heeyoung Kim documents and depicts rare and native plants from endangered ecosystems. Her exquisite, deftly painted compositions portray native woodland and prairie plants. Giving priority to rare, endangered species, she also paints common species when they have high ecological value. Drawing her specimens in situ with precise measurements, Heeyoung Kim works in watercolor, ink or graphite pencil, depending upon the characteristics of each plant. After her first solo exhibition in 2011, she quickly gained a reputation as a wildflower botanical artist, winning several prestigious awards. Her work has been exhibited at The American Society of Botanical Artists/Horticultural Society of New York, Chicago, and The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
Established in 1999, Oppenheimer Editions has partnered with prestigious museums to make prints from their holdings. Works from the New-York Historical Society's unrivaled collections of John James Audubon's watercolors and the Hudson River School paintings are examples of art that otherwise would be unobtainable. Among the institutional collections we have partnered with are the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum, and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. These are not mere reproductions. They are limited-edition fine art prints made with the finest quality archival pigments on rag watercolor paper and executed to exacting standards.
