"My camp is my home, and the men here are part of my family. I don't want to let them
die by the hands of the militiamen. So I made a decision in order to keep the men out of danger, I get the firewood myself. That is my gift for them; to face rape every day."















"It was my only option: to get the firewood by myself, in order to prevent the deaths of the good men in the camp. My daughter begs me not to be outside, since she knows what happens. But while being raped is my humiliation, it is salvation for her father."














"Rape is happening every day outside our camp. But my leaving to get firewood is the best way to protect the men against the guns of the militia. I don't want to see anybody die. So there is no other option for women here, there is no other option for me."
















"We choose to sacrifice ourselves for the men, because they can't leave the camp to get firewood. It is a matter of life and death. So we choose to preserve their lives. We choose to go out ourselves. We choose to get face to face with the militiamen. We choose to get raped."

SavesWatts has a black background, which uses less energy than white.

SavesWatts is powered by the Google Search Engine, and is based on the the fact that different colors consume different amounts of energy on computer monitors. Black requires the least amount of energy. The energy savings per search are small, but it has been estimated that ablack Google would save 750 Megawatts per year. How much energy you will save depends on the type of monitor you have - CRT monitors save the most.

If just 0.01% of people currently using Google switch to SavesWatts, we can save enough energy to power entire neighborhoods!

An eighth grader in the Houston area, Asher Brown, has committed suicide after being relentlessly bullied at school for being gay.

A US college student committed suicide the day after authorities say two fellow students surreptitiously recorded him having sex with a man in his dorm room and broadcast it over the internet. Tyler Clementi of New Jersey jumped off the George Washington Bridge, a lawyer for his family said. His body hasn’t been recovered.

Seth Walsh, a student at Jacobsen Middle School in Tehachapi, Calif., was found unconscious and not breathing on Sept. 19 after he apparently tried to hang himself from a tree in his backyard, according to a police report obtained by The Bakersfield Californian. Friends said that Seth had been picked on for years because he was gay.He later passed away.

This has to stop.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

Incredibly honest, and ever so lovely.

"And how can you say I love you to someone you love?
....Here is the point of everything I have been trying to tell you....
It's always necessary.

I love you."
