The objective of the Jean Monnet Chair on EU Environmental Law (Project: 587220-EPP-1-2017-1-ES-EPPJMO-CHAIR) is to ameliorate participants' competences in European legal studies from the EU internal and external dual dimensions. The Chair's activities will help the target audiences to develop their learning capacities in order to take on the challenges facing the EU in its attempts to achieve sustainable, fair and resilient environmental governance. This objective will be achieved through four annual intensive courses, three seminars and one training course, a research project, a series of specialized workshops and lectures and a final conference.
Besides, the close cooperation with the Tarragona Center for Environmental Law (CEDAT) at the Rovira i Virgili University (URV) and the UB Water Research Institute (IdRA) as well as the interaction with international, national and local organizations concerned will help to achieve this objective.
Awareness around environmental protection related to public policies, as well as the consolidation of concepts such "sustainable development" or "environmental justice" has generated important political and social effects that require structural changes in government, and rethinking of many components of our economic model. By its very nature, both the legal system and the economic current model are largely determined by the EU policy-maker. Consequently, there is a need of qualified legal professionals who can advise governmental bodies as well as corporations and environmental NGOs. The Chair's activities will help future professionals to develop their critical thinking capacities and their knowledge in the field it intends to cover. The Chair also provides teaching to students from other backgrounds and extends the learning activity to groups of audiences with other social science backgrounds. Indeed, the Chair also focuses in audiences who do not automatically come into contact with EU Studies and that will benefit from the EU legal knowledge beyond their immediate expertise.
The Chair also conducts research on EU subjects, based on the previous scientific relationship of the key staff and in their academic research paths. The Chair is also expected to train scholars and Ph.D. candidates to conduct independent research on EU environmental studies.
Finally, the Chair also organizes activities targeting policy makers at local, regional and national level as well as civil society to help them to acquire the necessary knowledge about the various challenges the EU environmental policy faces.

Eric Hinske or Gabe Gross?
On May 11th, Cliff Floyd came off the DL and rejoined the Rays for the first time in over a month. As long as Floyd is healthy (and the Rays are playing in an AL park) he will be the Rays starting DH against right-handers. What isn't clear is who will be the starting right fielder in those same games. Eric Hinske has been with the Rays all season and he has been one of the Rays most consistent offensive contributors hitting .250/.343/.508 with 7 home runs in only 120 at bats. Gross was added to the roster on April 23rd and has hit .229/.333/.396 in 22 games (14 starts). Gross' contribution is his glove and his patience. He is a better glove and has a far superior arm to Hinske. We have seen Hinske make several bad plays in the outfield including two instances in the last week in which he played outs or singles into triples. And while Hinske is the bigger offensive threat, Gross has shown a level of patience at the plate not seen often in the Rays lineup.
In 5 games since Floyd came back off the DL (not including the Cardinals series without the DH), Hinske has made 5 starts in right field while Gross has started twice and subbed for Hinske in a 3rd game.
Which one should be the regular right fielder versus righties? At times the offense has sputtered. in the last 10 games the Rays have scored less than 3 runs 4 times. But they have also shown they are hitting the ball well, with 41 hits in the Cardinals series despite no DH. With solid defense everywhere else on the diamond, the Rays can afford one below-average fielder in the lineup on most nights. The bat is too good and Joe Maddon should continue to ride the extra base hit threat as long as possible. HINSKE
2 runs allowed by James Shields tonight:
In Shields last 4 starts he has allowed 0,7,0,2 runs. The Red Sox outing (7 runs) really seemed to get under Shields' skin and he has been outstanding since. He will be facing a mediocre offense with the A's that is coming off a long road trip in which they went 2-7. Not to mention, Shields will be taking the mound in a pitcher-friendly park. Last year in his only start in Oakland, Shields went 8 innings and allowed only 1 run on 4 hits and 1 walk. In his other start versus the A's he allowed 2 runs in 8.1 innings. UNDER
1.5 Wins for the Rays in this series against the A's:
Oakland is returning home from a 9-game road trip in which they lost 7 games. They now sit 24-21, 1.5 games behind the Angels in the AL West and 1.5 games behind the Rays in the Wild Card race. The A's are 12-9 at home but they are only 7-10 against lefties which bodes well for the Rays tomorrow when Scott Kazmir takes the mound. The A's do lead the AL with a +31 run differential, but that is due in large part to their pitching staff which has the 2nd best ERA in the AL at 3.38. They are also 2nd with 320 Ks and have allowed the 5th fewest walks. However, with James Shields on the mound tonight and the 6-1 Andy Sonnanstine on the hill for getaway day on Wednesday, look for the Rays to take at least 2 of 3. OVER
What are the chances of James Shields throwing a no-hitter this season?
If the question was "for the Rays in any season?" the number would be close to 25%. His stuff is that good. Shields has shown on a number of occasions that he is capable of no-hit stuff. But the question is "this season". So far, in 9 starts he has a 2-hit shutout and a 1-hit shutout. Last year he threw 9 3-hit innings against the O's and against the Indians he had a start in which he only allowed 2 hits in 8 innings. The problem is, Shields only has 23-24 starts left in '08 and we have to assume that 4-5 of those will come against the Yankees or the Sox. 5%

Adopt till you drop!
It's no secret Americans love to shop and starting this Cyber Monday (Dec. 2), national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society and animal rescue groups and shelters across the country will offer major adoption discounts and incentives to encourage shoppers to bypass the mall or online sellers when looking for their next pet.
Adopters may be surprised to know that nearly 25 percent of pets in shelters are purebreds, and that nearly any type of pet can be found through a shelter or rescue, leaving no reason to turn to puppy mill-supplied retailers. What's more, by choosing to adopt, people can save the lives of shelter pets in danger of being killed simply because they don't have a home.
Adoption promotions that are going live on bestfriends.org/promo on Cyber Monday include:
"Every year many people add new pets to their families during the holiday season." said Elizabeth Oreck, national manager, Puppy Mill Initiatives, Best Friends Animal Society. "But many people don't realize that animal shelters and rescues across the country are filled with highly adoptable puppies, kittens, dogs and cats. Fancy papers and expensive price tags don't make for great pets. It's all about getting the right dog or cat."
"If you have your heart set on a purebred, about 25 percent of the dogs who wind up in shelters are purebreds," Oreck said. "So it's not necessary to spend thousands of dollars on a pet. Most people don't realize that when they buy pets from a retail outlet, they may be contributing to a national tragedy."
According to Best Friends nearly all pet stores are supplied with inventory by puppy mills, mass commercial breeding operations that supply the pet store industry.
"Right now, hundreds of thousands of adult dogs are suffering on the production line in America's puppy mills," Oreck said. "Often they must live in tiny wire-bottom cages, amid squalid conditions, with little human contact and veterinary care, often for years. It is no life for man's best friend."
Best Friends offers the following advice: skip the pet store and visit bestfriends.org/promo to start the search for your next pet.
Oreck said, "By adopting the one that's right for you, you can help Best Friends save them all."
For more information on Best Friends' Save Them All campaign: click here. To become a part of the Save Them All™ movement and make a huge impact on the quality of life for homeless pets everywhere, visit www.bestfriends.org/SAVE
Best Friends Animal Society is the only national animal welfare organization focused exclusively on ending the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters. An authority and leader in the no-kill movement since its founding in 1984, Best Friends runs the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals, as well as life-saving programs in partnership with rescue groups and shelters across the country. Since its founding, Best Friends has helped reduce the number of animals killed in shelters from 17 million per year to 4 million. No other animal welfare organization has the knowledge, technical expertise and on-the-ground network to end the killing and Save Them All™.

Livorno, Italy, 15" x 11"
The 'New Venice' area of Livorno in Italy, and a horseshoe-shaped wide canal running around the centre of the older part of Livorno. Here a mixture of craft, and just up my street as a painting subject. Mainly modern boats, not really commercial, but I like painting scenes like this - a background, boats and reflections middle ground and maybe something in the foreground - a jetty or similar.

PAY cuts could cost some Rainford workers more than #150 a week, they claim.
Now staff at Saint Gobain Industrial Ceramics are to be balloted on whether they will take industrial action to fight the plans by their French bosses.
Paris-based glassmaker Saint Gobain bought the former Carborundum factory near St Helens five years ago.
It employed 270 staff making ceramic fibre for the pottery and domestic appliance industries.
Last year it split after selling part of the business to US-based Unifact, leaving 57 workers with Saint Gobain.
Bosses now want to impose a pay freeze on 31 day workers and cut the wages of 26 piece-workers by an average of up to #151 a week.
Some of them could lose #111 from their pay and a further #40 in bonus payments, depending on a review currently under way.
The pay freeze and cuts compare with a 3% wage rise awarded to the Rainford workforce last year.
Transport and General Workers Union leaders will now hold a consultative ballot among the workforce next Monday before deciding whether or not to launch a vote on industrial action.
A union spokesman said: "We are making sure the workforce are fully behind us before we move forward in our campaign to safeguard staff pay."
Saint Gobain Industrial Ceramics managing director George Granger was unavailable for comment.

Researchers at Oregon State University have for the first time traced the actions of a known carcinogen in cooked meat to its complex biological effects on microRNA and cancer stem cells. The findings are part of a growing awareness of the role of epigenetics in cancer, or the ways in which gene expression and cell behavior can be changed even though DNA sequence information is unaltered. The scientists also found that consumption of spinach can partially offset the damaging effects of the carcinogen. In tests with laboratory animals, it cut the incidence of colon tumors almost in half, from 58 percent to 32 percent. ref: ScienceDaily (June 20, 2012)

It's a bit frigid right now, but at least we're into the positive °Fs for now. (Tomorrow will seem tropical with a high predicted around 24°F.) I think I need to come up with another layer for my feet - they're freezing at the moment. Still, I'm one of the very lucky ones - I don't have to go out in this and my house is very comfy.
Yesterday I had a nice day. I called dad up and invited him around for lunch. He said he'd call shortly before stopping around and then we'd walk to the post office. After he called & I bundled myself up, we did just that. When we returned to my place, I fixed us a lunch of pesto tortellini with salad and rosemary olive oil bread. Mmm, mmm, tasty. We watched an episode of Pole to Pole while we ate. It was quite pleasant.
Most of the rest of the day was spent playing City of Heroes and reading. I spent several hours in the library with kitties on my lap. I shall endeavor to do so again today. (One way to get my frozen toes thawed out again.)
Today I slept in til nearly 10am. I played CoH again until lunch and while I was watching more eps of Pole to Pole, the subscription finally lapsed. So I'm free from my addictions again - yay! (Well, apart from the DTs. But with college starting back up, I'll soon be too busy to miss my games.)
Dad and I did go out again to the post office today. With 3+ layers on, it wasn't too bad. But it sure was nice to get back into my house.
With no more MMORPGs to distract me, I'll have to get going on my coursework this weekend. And maybe get some more reorganization & cleaning done. (The kitchen is now more organized to suit me. How many years have I lived here? Sheesh.)
Those you up here in the northern hemisphere, keep warm! (Those of you in the southern hemisphere, keep cool!)

Warmaker One is the leader of the Ultramarine Corps.
Lieutenant Colonel Scott Sawyer was one of four USMC officers who underwent experiments at the behest of US Air Force Gen. Wade Eiling, Scott Sawyer was exposed to the synthetic isotope Proteum, which transformed him into a being of pure energy. Donning a special suit, he became Warmaker One, the "human stealth fighter" and a founding member of the Ultramarine Corps, dedicated to the elimination of the Justice League. During their first mission, however, in which they retrieved the body of the Shaggy Man the Ultrmarines discovered that Gen. Eiling was dying, and had sent them to recover the body so that he could transfer his own mind into it. They also learned that their exposure to Proteum was slowly killing them, and so they turned on the General and helped the League subdue him.
Wishing to avoid further exploitation, the Ultramarines split from the US Military and set up Superbia, a floating city of the future, from which they recruited other heroes from around the world for a mission of global peacekeeping.
Years later, the Ultramarines fell under the control of Gorilla Grodd, who attempted to use them as living weapons to help him take over the world. During this debacle, Sawyer's Warmaker suit was broken apart, and Sawyer's consciousness was left free, which proved instrumental in twarting Grodd's plans. After Grodd's defeat, the Ultramarines were banished to the infant universe of Qwewq until they could prove that they had discipline.
Warmaker was most recently seen leading the Ultramarines in their efforts to ward off the Justifiers during the Final Crisis. These efforts were unsuccessful, however, and Superbia fell. The fate of Warmaker and his fellow Ultramarines has yet to be revealed.
Powers and Abilities
- Unique Physiology: Made of pure energy, Warmaker wears a suit of armor over his energy body. The suit allows flight and is loaded with an assortment of weapons effective against a great many metahumans.

DALLAS (105.3 THE FAN) – Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Bill Callahan is being elevated to the position of offensive playcaller for the 2013 season. And whether you view that as castrating strip of responsibilities of head coach Jason Garrett, or the offering of some help for an overloaded young coach that frees Garrett to be a "walk-around" head coach, really depends on whether you are a glass-is-half-empty or -full Cowboys observer.
And either way, you're opinion doesn't matter like those of Garrett and his shot-calling boss, team owner Jerry Jones.
This move — and an assortment of others — can end up a positive for Garrett. But the Cowboys could help themselves here, in terms of credibility, by not pretending that Garrett is completely convinced of that.
"It's not a step back for Jason. It's actually a step forward for Jason in my mind," Jones told reporters on Tuesday in Mobile, Ala. for the Senior Bowl. "Make no mistake about it, when I hired Jason to come into the organization as a coach, he was hired specifically for his skills for his abilities to call the plays. When he became the head coach, it was at my insistence that he continue to call the plays. It was not at Jason's insistence. It is not a step back for the Cowboys or a step back individually for him to change the way we basically are putting our game plan together or are calling the plays on the offensive side of the ball. As you well know, differences in opinion can frankly be a step in a better direction."
And know this: There were differences of opinion.
Had Garrett gotten his way, he would've retained playcalling responsibilities. Period.
Still, as he noted Tuesday, "I've never been a guy where it's been hell-or-high-water that I'm going to call the plays."
And so Garrett took the urging from his boss, owner/GM Jones, and went about the business of rebuilding the staff. Dallas next year will have new leadership on special teams, defense and offense.
Monte Kiffin is the newly-hired defensive coordinator. His right-hand will be newly-hired Rod Marinelli. I'm told Rich Bisaccia — like those two, a man with ties to a Buccaneers team once overseen by Jon Gruden — is the focus of the search for the special-teams coordinator. (More on the Gruden angle in a moment.) I'm also told that Sam Gash is close to being hired as the running backs coach, that Hue Jackson is a candidate to be brought in to coach wide receivers and that Wes Phillips is likely to take over offensive line duties. That leaves tight ends coach as the soon-to-be lone vacancy on a remade staff … and a re-assigned staff, with Garrett as the walk-around boss.
"I've been on teams where it's worked a lot of different ways," Garrett said. "We've come back in a lot of games and handled game situations really well and sometimes we haven't handled them as well. It's my responsibility and I have to make sure we do it better. Watch the games. Coaches who don't call the plays don't have the (market cornered) on handling game situations the right way. But having said that, that's an added responsibility that you have during games that you have to manage and work through."
Callahan, a former NFL head coach in Oakland, has ties with Gruden, presently not in coaching and working in broadcasting. Bisaccia, Marinelli and Kiffin share those ties (though Kiffin and Gruden parted from Tampa uncomfortably.) That Gruden shadow likely lurks over Garrett's shoulder — if only because of media and fan perception — much like Sean Payton's did last season.
But done properly, the new guys will be Garrett's guys. Callahan, who had the title of offensive coordinator last year and also oversaw the offensive line, might add some of his West Coast Offense components to Garrett's existing playbook. But it's still Garrett's playbook.
"It gives you the opportunity to step back a little bit and engage in the other two aspects (defense and special teams)," said Garrett of shifting to "walk-around" head coach. "Obviously, my role as the head coach, if I'm not the playcaller, will be significant."
And obviously, Jerry Jones' role as the shot-caller is significant, too.

Dear Mother Maple: brrrfl whmf da shndt?
Dear Mother Maple:
Who are these people who run the sound at our clubs and do they ever listen to the artists they are running the PA for? I am tired of trying to pick out musical details and lyrics at most of the shows I go to. Last week I showed up for what promised to be a great gig and left after the 3rd number because the sound was so muddy. This happens way so often that I question my own hearing but there are a few people who can get wonderful sound so it's not me.
Why don't people take pride in their work?
Tired of straining.
This goes a bit beyond Mother's ken, Tired. When I was spending more time on stage, the sound technician mostly ensured there weren't rips in the megaphone the singer used and kept the cones on my Dobro in good shape. So when I see all this newfangled gear in clubs, like when I saw that devil Fred Eaglesmith at the Bow Valley Music Club a little while ago, it boggles my eyes, let me tell you. And I was at a house concert recently where they used that little Bose system. It might have sounded good, but it just looks dirty to me.
If there's blame to be laid here, Tired, where should it go? It doesn't seem quite fair to blame the performers. They're on stage, and it's hard to hear them. I wonder if some sound engineers have either lost a little hearing from too many shows, or perhaps they're not trained in the craft.
Some small venues just may not have access to a professional, and once a show is underway, the man or woman behind the board is overwhelmed (Why AREN'T there more women behind the boards? Now THERE's a question Mother would like to tackle). But if you're able to have a quiet word during a break, Tired, and especially if you might be able to offer some help diplomatically, why not reach out?
A wise man once said "Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light." I implore you, Tired, to reach out your hand into the muddled bass frequencies and pull another ear out of that spring-reverbed mess. But be nice, and if they reject your help, take it as a lesson learned.

The whole hearing loss idea has some merit. I think sometimes the sound techs have a dearth of experience with acoustic performers and don't realize the audience wants to actually hear the lyrics – not only hear the music.
I've been blessed with competent and dedicated sound men/women and am working diligently to improve my own skills on the board. I have found that approaching the board is only daunting the first few times…
IMNSHO, it's preferable to voice your concerns before deciding to leave a show.
The fact of the matter is that sound is practically an afterthought for so many clubs and presenters-especially in the folk/roots genre. This winter I noticed that a certain festival occurring in a certain big Canadian city was relying on volunteers for sound. I understand there were probably financial motivations behind this but I would consider hiring/paying professional, qualified soundpeople an essential part of a concert series or music festival. You get what you pay for! Twice recently I've performed in bars where the bartender was also the person who was supposed to run the board and the sound was as lacking as you'd expect with that kind of arrangement. I can do my own sound if I have to (I did that professionally in television for 12 years) but you can't beat the joy of wallking into a venue and being greeted by a competent, friendly pro who's there just to do the sound. Everyone benefits so much-after all isn't it all about what you're hearing?
P.S. Props and shout outs to brilliant soundmen like Frank (Cameron House) and Colin (Tranzac.) They set the example of how things should be.
Some want to use all the power they have because it's there and then it's too loud. Some don't have good ears but they love being in charge or the love the technical side…neat cables and all that. Most are volunteers so you can't say anything. When I go somewhere and the sound is bad I tell the soundman what I'm hearing and let him take it or leave it. When I mix…the sound is awesome! lol Outdoor gigs are hard because a change in the wind will change the sound.
I've noticed many sound(wo)men saying,"What do you mean , you want to use a mic for your insrtrument? Why don't you have a pick-up in it?"
I guess today's pick-ups can sound all right, but I have a 20 year old Fishman in my guitar and it just doesn't sound like an acoustic when it's plugged in, besides, I like to work the mic. When did it become necessary to have a pick-up in an acoustic instrument?
Watch some of the old TV shows like Pete Seeger's Rainbow Quest and you'l see groups like the New Lost City Ramblers or the Greenbriar Boys playing to a single, 1960s quality mic and you can hear every note.
Sometimes the sound guys seem like the proverbial 'old boys club' to me. I know a sound person who is exceptional, but happens to be a woman, and she gets overlooked for gigs that our little community uses sound people for.
I think it is a measure of her brilliance however – you forget she's there and that the sound is being amplified.
That's what I'm looking for in a sound technician – regardless of their gender or education.
It's very much a moving target, the perfect sound, and there really isn't an answer to your question, because every guitar-artist-room-tech combination is different. Some people have muddy guitars (there's one very popular model I'm thinking of), old strings, bad pickups, bad mic technique, unimpressive projection, crowds too big and/or chatty to fight, an uninterested sound dude, a blown tweeter in the front PA, etc. So many variables in chemistry. Think about it, but don't overthink. Good sound is a collectively acquired skill, and should be appreciated in a more-than-the-sum-of-it's-parts way. Don't let it ruin your night.

Say what you will about Bill Russell's Celtics, Magic's Showtime, Kobe's Lakers, or even LeBron's Heat.
But in this moment of preaching to the SLAM choir, there never has been, is not, and never will be anything like Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls of the 1990s, six-time Champions who were just a premature retirement and lamented lockout from potentially running the title table on the entire decade.
I was with them for the entire run, from a disbelieving, tearful, long-distance phone call with my father as the seconds ticked away on 1991's Game 5 to bring home the first ring all the way to The Shot II, Bryon Russell cringing and Salt Lake City gasping in horror, while neighborhoods across Chicago erupted in cheers.
In a mere matter of years, Chicago was transformed internationally, from antiquated Al Capone references or tired Cubs jokes to the instant recognition of MJ, Scottie, The Worm, Horace, Phil, Pax, Kerr, The Dobermans, The Triangle, etc.
But really it was just one man who delivered us.
In 1994, I traveled to Guatemala. On the way, I read a Sports Illustrated cover story ("Bag it, Michael!") trashing Chicago's transformer in the aftermath of his father's murder and the endless loop of yearlong limelight. His crime? Chasing a childhood dream on to the baseball diamond.
It was while climbing the ruins at Tikal that a young boy initially chided me as una gallina for fearfully descending steep steps from 200 feet. When we got to the bottom, he saw my Bulls t-shirt: "Michael Jordan! Michael Jordan! Slam dunk!" I laughed, and he wouldn't stop.
We played a little shadow ball on the greens between pyramids and bid adios. And I left with my own personal peek into the Michael Jordan phenomenon.
Just one man.
Back in the day, Chicago was a pro basketball ghost town. The NBL, BAA and NBA all formed as a way to fill hockey arenas between games on the ice, for sure, but at least the New York Knickerbockers and Boston Celtics managed to draw fans.
Not so in the Second City. First came the American Gears, an NBL team starring local hero George Mikan that went out with a bang by winning the 1947 NBL title, then fancying itself enough to quit the league and form a new one; the Gears' Professional Basketball League of America folded in a month.
Then came the Stags, a BAA post-season mainstay on the verge of trading for a little-known Bob Cousy when their lights were extinguished for good. The Packers became the first-ever NBA expansion franchise in 1961, squeezing the draft of future Hall of Famer Walt Bellamy, a name change to Zephyrs and a morph east into the Baltimore Bullets in a blinding two seasons.
Never one to take a hint (or let the burgeoning rival ABA get a piece of the Second City), the NBA expanded into Chicago a second time, five years later. Drawing on the exotic legacy of Gears, Stags, Packers and Zephyrs, new owner Dick Klein tipped his horns to the city's, uh, meatpacking prowess (Toreadors and Matadors were also on the list) to create the Bulls.
The Bulls stumbled into success immediately, adding Jerry Sloan (The Original Bull) as their first player and managing the impossible task of reaching the Playoffs their first season. In a few years, the nucleus of a title contender was formed, but it was unceremoniously dismissed almost as quickly.
Sloan and Norm Van Lier, the backcourt cornerbacks of the black-and-blue 1970s Bulls, were human floor burns. For his trouble, Sloan earned a retired number and a head coaching shot, only to be pink-slipped after 215 games (freeing him to become a Hall of Famer piloting the Utah Jazz). Stormin' Norman got a team-sanctioned addiction to painkillers yet, as the Frack to Sloan's Frick, no jersey in the rafters. Bob Love and Chet Walker were the smoothest-scoring forward pairing of the '70s, but Love was scrapped to the New Jersey Nets for a second-rounder. Walker made a gallant run through the '75 Playoffs while harboring a bloody kidney, but the team wouldn't pay his $470 hospital bill, then answered a 1975-76 holdout by invoking the reserve clause, essentially forcing the future Hall of Famer to retire at 35.
In 1984, this was this sort of legacy that Jordan inherited, a team that practiced at the gym of a downtown orphanage and ranked third-to-last in League attendance, a team that had been to the Playoffs once in the previous seven seasons and finished with a winning record in just two of the previous nine. The Bulls weren't only riddled with losing and mismanagement, but listlessness, drug use and in-game concession stand snacking.
Four miles east was where the action was, as the NFL Bears appeared to be set for dominance. Their centerpiece, Walter Payton, was the greatest all-around running back most of us will ever see. It took Sweetness 10 years of middling football before getting his ring, as a member of one of the all-time greatest football teams, the 1985 Shufflin' Crew, and as an encore da Bears threw away several chances at a dynasty, never even returning to the Super Bowl.
Thankfully for the aching sports fans of Chicago, MJ would completely change the city's image and sporting culture. We didn't know it then, but Jordan would give to us his own invincibility: Greatness without reservation.
Also in 1985, a sneaker hit the market that would revolutionize the worlds of sports, fashion and advertising, so scaring the NBA that it outright banned the kicks for uniform code violations. Three years later, the commercial for the AJ III appeared, a short clip with Spike Lee reprising Mars Blackmon, who claimed some serious hang time while dangling from a rim. The camera pulled away to reveal a certain 25-year-old incandescent superstar holding the diminutive director up on his shoulders. Jordan smirked and walked away, leaving Lee swaying. Air dunked, with Spike wailing, "Money, Money, why you gotta do that to me, why you gotta leave me hanging?" Shot in cheeky black-and-white chic just like Lee's/Blackmon's feature debut She's Gotta Have It, the Air-Mars pairing would spawn years of ads. Jordan, as always, was übercool.
In 1992, Jordan made another splash of sorts, now while chugging Gatorade. By then, MJ was a champion, and the incredibly '90s clip, busting out bright colors and goofiness all around, played to the dulcet tones of "Be Like Mike": Sometimes I dream that he is me/You've got to see that's how I dream to be/I dream I move, I dream I groove like Mike/If I could be like Mike/Again I try, just need to fly,/for just one day if I could be that way/I dream I move, I dream I groove like Mike/If I could be like Mike…
It's as if MJ was so cool, he dared us to dislike him.
There was no way we could.
Looking back at a life of Bulls fandom, it's hard to imagine ever feeling like an underdog or a loser. But there was a time when Jordan was thought to be heading down the George Gervin or Dominique Wilkins path, finishing his career without a Finals appearance, much less a ring. For Jordan (and just one Bulls Playoff game won in his first three seasons) the 1980s were strictly for individual accolades.
Which is not to say it wasn't a decade filled with wonder, extending back to amateur work like his '82 title-clincher as a UNC frosh and Gold-medal dominance in the '84 Olympics. With the Bulls he hit the ground running, leading the team to wins in seven of its first nine and dropping 45 points on the San Antonio Spurs in just his ninth professional game. Jordan's presence nearly doubled the woeful Chicago Stadium attendance from 6,254 per game to 11,885, as the phenom sailed through his rookie season and forced David Stern to order NBA cable broadcast partner WTBS to wedge more than the one scheduled Bulls game into the 1984-85 season slate. MJ chased an injury-shortened, 18-game regular season with a still-record 63-point ambush of the Boston Celtics in a double-OT Playoff loss in 1986, prompting Larry Bird to dub the young star as "God disguised as Michael Jordan." In his third campaign he averaged 37.1 points—37.1 points—starting a streak of seven straight 30-plus scoring seasons snapped only by his first retirement in 1993.
In 1989, he shifted to point guard for 11 games and averaged a triple-double (10 triples in 11 games, with 33.6 points, 11.4 assists and 10.8 rebounds), and weeks later hit "The Shot" over Craig Ehlo to clinch his second-ever post-season series. He flew to two Dunk Contest titles in three tries, punctuating his hometown coronation in 1988 with a free-throw line slam for the ages. But for all the wonderment, MJ still was title-free.
Phase two of Jordan's career saw the Bulls morph from the sideshow of Michael and the Jordanaires to invincible titlists. MJ remained the most lethal scorer outside of Wilt, leading the League in points scored in every full season he would ever play for the Bulls. But the supporting cast improved, most substantially with the additions of Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant in 1987. Coaching changes, with Phil Jackson taking over a top seat bookended by whip-smart assistants Tex Winter and Johnny Bach on either side of the ball, made an even greater impact on Chicago's success.
And Air took off, pulling the Bulls into the sky with him. There was a stunning sweep of the repeat Champion Detroit Pistons in the 1991 Eastern finals, laying to rest the ghosts of Jordan Rules and Pip's Migraine. Down 1-0 in the Finals vs L.A., Jordan's "specTACular" gravity defying layup (the last of 13 consecutive baskets he made to fuel the blowout) spurred Chicago to four straight wins and a first title. There were six three-pointers in the first half of Game 1 vs Portland in the 1992 Finals, punctuated by his shrug toward Magic Johnson, broadcasting from the sideline. He averaged 41 points, 8.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists in beating down the Phoenix Suns in 1993 to complete the first NBA threepeat in 26 years.
After his baseball career, Jordan would win three more titles in the final three full seasons with the Bulls, starting with the 1996 win over Seattle to capitalize on a 72-10 regular season that bested any previous NBA dominance by three full games. The 1997 Finals were marked by heroism from Pippen (badly ratcheted back) and MJ (44 minutes, 38 points on 13-27 shooting, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, a block, and several empty IV bags rallying the Bulls to a Game 5 road win), while the 1998 repeat win over Utah was punctuated by his Game 6 winner over Russell, forever frozen in time.
Just a handful of games into his NBA career, Jordan admitted having some lofty goals: "I hope I can say I did my best, achieved a lot, and won a couple of world championships."
That fact that those then-overarching goals seem laughably modest today tells you all you need to know about the man who combined winning basketball with individual dominance better than any player in professional basketball history, and across American sports as well.
The biggest beneficiaries of the largesse of this one man's career? The good people of Chicago.

Feb 22, 2011
Some California lawmakers have chosen to forego their state fleet vehicles to save money for the struggling state. What has your fleet done to save money?
Elected by angry taxpayers in a year of a massive state deficit, 18 of 31 first-year legislators have decided not to order a new car bankrolled largely by public funds.
The penny pinching, mostly symbolic in closing a $25.4 billion budget gap, echoes the tone set by Brown in turning in his state-issued cell phone and vowing to reduce the state's vehicle fleet for workers.
Freshmen legislators are rejecting state cars at rates far exceeding veteran colleagues: 58 percent of first-year lawmakers are driving their family cars at work, for example, compared with just 13 percent of incumbents.
"If we're going to cut expenses, we've got to start with our own expenses," said Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian, an Arroyo Grande (San Luis Obispo County) Republican who said he drives his personal car about 300 miles from his home to the Capitol each week.
Assemblyman Allan Mansoor, R-Costa Mesa (Orange County), said in a prepared statement that sacrifice is important to restore public trust.
"I did not get elected to the Assembly for a free car, I got elected to fix the state's problems," Mansoor said.

I've got a bad feeling about this.
Apparently "gender bending" Shakespeare is going to be Emma Rice's thing. First she got us all talking about how Cymbeline should really be called Imogen, since she's got most of the lines.
Now she wants to cast Helena as Helenus, a gay man.
Helena wasn't exactly a role model for feminist ideals the way Shakespeare originally wrote her, what with that whole "use me but as your spaniel, spurn me, strike me" thing. Now imagine just how homophobic this is going to make Demetrius look when there's a man saying it? I suppose that they could also go with a more offensive stereotype and make some sort of sadomasochistic joke about it, too, just to throw that out there.
There's also an obvious complication in that, for this to end up a happy ending, we need to decide whether this makes Demetrius gay as well? You can't play him gay from the start because then he'd have no interest in marrying Hermia. Besies, since he's the only one left under Oberon's love potion, what exactly does that imply? (For more on this, check out Were The World Mine, which deals precisely with some of these issues.)
I don't mind interesting new interpretation. I just wonder whether this lady is doing these things because she thinks they're really good ideas, or if she's just trying to see how many cages she can rattle.
Maybe next time she'll set Merchant of Venice in Nazi Germany? That'd be a hoot, huh?

Your numerology cycles February 15–28
Calculate Your Key Number
To find out what this month has in store for you, calculate your key number by adding the day and month of your birth. Continue adding until you arrive at a single digit. For example, if your birthday is October 14, your personal number is determined as follows: 10 + 14 = 24. Then 2 + 4 = 6, and you have the key number (6) that you will keep for life.
Key Number 1
Happy cycle energy.
Be careful: you can be easily distracted in this bubbly energy, so organize your tasks and take care of them before you go out to play. Balancing, staying on track work-wise, and dealing with this slightly scattered energy is not easy, but it is possible and can even be fun. Don't overspend.
Finish existing projects completely before you move on to start something new.
Key Number 2
Much to do.
Although this can be a very romantic time, there is a great deal to be accomplished. This continues to be a test cycle month and it is a time to take work really seriously. This is your opportunity to show how hard you can work and how much of a laser focus you can bring to whatever you're working on.
Remember not to cut corners. If you do, karma will catch up with you and bite you where you're most tender.
There may be a temptation to resist work, but underneath the intensity that you may be feeling, there is also a sense of accomplishment for how much you can get done.
Key Number 3
Curious, restless and willing to explore.
This cycle month's energy is a time to revel in freedom and expand your horizons with new ideas. Keep an open mind and concentrate on feeling loose and free or creating situations where you can feel set free. Be as adventurous and flexible in your thinking as you can and use your imagination and creative approaches to any issues you need to solve.
There are opportunities and new ideas to be found outside your ordinary routine.
Prepare for unexpected changes. This cycle energy gives you the opportunity to show just how resilient you really are.
Take advantage of shifting circumstances and flow with evolving conditions. You are versatility personified.
Key Number 4
You may receive much affection and love.
This is a cycle month when you must pay attention to those who need your wise counsel. However, you must be very careful not to meddle in the affairs of others or give advice that has not been asked for. It's a thin line, but this cycle allows you to walk it gracefully.
There are bound to be a few obstacles that arise on the relationship front. When a difficulty arises between yourself and another person, be sure to a use as much effort as possible to eliminate the problem sensibly.
In this month it may seem as if you have more responsibility than is fair—bite the bullet and take whatever actions are necessary to create harmony.
Key Number 5
Take some alone time.
The first half of the month, especially around Valentine's Day, is about communication with others.
In the second half of the month, the energy is directed within. This is not a good cycle month for socializing. It is a good time to look at your inner life and make decisions about your identity in relationships, in your family, and in your workplace.
In this cycle months we ask the questions: Who am I? Where am I going? And what do I want in my life from this time forward?
It's not necessary to come up with complete answers to all these questions. However, the process of asking brings illumination.
Key Number 6
Take charge of your finances.
This cycle month's energy is about being brave and confident. Look at some of the ideas you have been thinking about, especially where your creativity comes into play, and put things in motion. Even if you feel a little anxious and afraid of criticism, this is the time to take your courage in both hands and present your creations to the world.
You are powerful now. Others will see it.
At the same time, it's important to be a little careful about spending. This is an abundant energy. Keep it within bounds.
Key Number 7
Expect a little drama.
In this month's cycle energy, you may feel quite emotional. Remember that your mood and reactions can affect those in your immediate environment.
For that reason, it's a good idea to be as sensitive, tactful, and compassionate as you can. Others may not understand the complicated emotional decisions you are making.
Maintain close ties with family and friends, especially those who you know are supportive.
Listen to your inner wisdom.
Key Number 8
A time of exciting change dramatic progress and new beginnings.
This continues to be a time when anything you begin or expand will have an impact on the course of the next few months. This is a new cycle energy experience. Plant new seeds in all aspects of your life.
When you're called upon to be a thought leader, accept the challenge. Be ready to lead or take the plunge when exciting opportunities present themselves.
Examine your usual way of approaching problem-solving and decide if it's going to work in the future. If not, be brave enough to let it go, and replace it with a new strategy.
This is a time to act.
Key Number 9
Launch a charm offensive.
Make the most of this month. It's a time when your charm and ability to communicate clearly stand you in good stead.
You may find that you are more communicative than usual. As long as you use this time to make connections, solve problems, and create new possibilities, you will be putting the cycle energy to good use.
Also, be a good helper. Look around for anyone who may need a problem-solver and be that. Tell the truth even when it hurts, but tell it sweetly. Keep cool and rational even in emotional situations.

Saffron Indian Cafe & Grill
Exotic North Indian eating on Kihei's south shore
There's no getting around the fact that we don't have much Indian cuisine in Hawaii. It's almost out of our comfort zone, a surprising fact given the melting pot of Asian, Polynesian and fusion available. Thankfully, Saffron Indian Cafe and Grill is giving us a chance to redeem and expand our food palates with their fresh and authentic dishes served at reasonable prices.
Saffron opened on the first of August in the old Maui Masala location in Kihei's Dolphin Plaza. But the place resembles nothing of its former self. New paint, tables and a whole new set-up have completely transformed the place into an inviting little sit-down service cafe. Owner RJ Dhillon has been a willing ambassador for his Northern Indian cuisine created by Chef Ram Verma for casual service and take-out. Don't be afraid to ask questions, for RJ is not offended by the fact we know nothing of his food. He is more than ready to guide us on our journey.
India is huge and there have been many interactions with neighboring Mohgul, Persian and Asian cultures. The yellow turmeric and saffron colors instantly give away iconic Indian dishes, as do their use of their spice mixtures. At Saffron, the spices come direct from India, and Chef Verma mixes and grinds his own special blends so the flavors of their dishes are authentic and unique. I was treated to a tour of their kitchen to investigate these mysterious and delicious smelling seeds and herbs on their way to being ground into the flavor that give these dishes their Indian edge.
One discovery while back in the kitchen was their homemade dough, and the unique way they bake bread in the clay oven. Naan is an absolutely divine bread – crisp and smoky on the outside, fluffed and delicate inside. You can get it in roasted garlic, cheese, pesto and Kashmiri flavors. You will also find roti, kulcha and paratha as well in Saffron's bread department.
At lunch they serve wraps from 11am to 2pm, and these are a coveted dish. Saffron makes the wrap bread by hand and grills it to order. The remarkable combination of vegetables, meat and sauce roll into a hand-held lunch is like no other on Maui.
Cruising through the pupu menu I chanced on the Gobi Manchuria, which is one of their fusion dishes inspired by Asian cuisine. It's a tangy and spicy sauce, slightly reminiscent of sweet Thai chili over cauliflower and other veggies. Other pupus that caught my attention were samosas (savory pockets of spiced potatoes and peas) and pakoras (veggies dipped in chick pea flour and lightly fried). And there are seven different chutneys to pair with your pupus. Of those, the tamarind, mango and avocado/cilantro added amazing flavors to the samosas.
Their curry is a southern-inspired dish, infusing fresh ground turmeric with other spices, and you can get it mild to medium. Vindaloo originates from Bombay as a rich meat and potatoes dish, served with a gravy sauce. Kormas are creamier, with coconut milk and yogurt, a northern specialty. Saag is a pureed spinach-based sauce. All of these are available in chicken, lamb, fish or tiger prawn versions and all are served with field green salads and basmati rice.
RJ says that if you don't enjoy curry dishes, then try the Chicken Tikka Masala. He consideres the grilled barbecue nature of the Tikka a safe dish for anyone new to the cuisine. Its juicy grilled meat is a contrast to the other braised and softer meats.
What I really respect about this menu is RJ has not dumbed it down. Yes, at first I had to ask questions, since I didn't know the terminology or the dishes. But now I've learned the menu is good enough to come back for more. For the month of October you can expect daily chef's specials on organic vegan items, daily lunch specials and kama'aina discounts. Just ask!
Short Glossary of Indian food terms:
• Pakoras: The ultimate Indian snack, similar to our tempura but lighter. Veggies are dredged in garbanzo bean flour and fried – even veggies like spinach leaves.
• Tikka: Barbecued chicken usually served in a Masala sauce. There are many different kinds of masala, but Saffron describes the Tikka masala as creamy.
• Dal Makhani: Dal means lentils, a staple ingredient in the Indian diet. Makhani means butter. These are slow-cooked lentils generously flavored with butter. Saffron's version features tomatoes and cream.
• Naan: Fresh, clay-baked bread, which comes in round shapes. There are seven flavors on Saffron's menu.
• Paneer: Cheese. Saffron makes their own cheese from scratch. It's similar to mozzarella and just as delicious. Find it in the Saag and Shahi paneer, and some of the other dishes and wraps.

Alizz C. Cooper Pendant Light by Ingo Maurer
The Alizz Cooper collection takes it's snake-like cues from the slithering world of snakes and is brought to life using Goldschlange® rubber garden hose (Goldschlange® translates to Gold Snake). Available in hanging, floor and table versions.
The hanging version, Alizz C. Cooper, is a pendant light that can provide accent and direct illumination. Inside the "Gold Snake" is a flexible gooseneck that allows almost infinite flexibility to position the pendant. The thin low-profile reflector completes the snake illusion and the Z's in the name help tie it all together.
This hanging light includes 126" of flexible hose, which allows for variable adjustment of the reflector. A fine plastic string helps secure the position once in place. Pendant includes a 5.7"D plate for covering standard US junction boxes (not depicted in photos).
Material(s): Metal, Rubber, Plastic
Canopy: 3.4"D with 5.7"D adapter plate
Lamp Type: HALOGEN, INCANDESCENT
Bulbs: 1 X 60W 120V G9 halogen lamp (included)

SoftBank acquired Vodafone KK for about US$ 15 billion, essentially with a very large loan. Thus SoftBank is under enormous pressure to succeed in Japan's very competitive mobile phone market, where Number Portability was introduced on October 24, 2006.
Recent subscriber number statistics and our observations indicate that SoftBank looks likely to succeed in turning round the mobile phone company they acquired from Vodafone and renamed Softbank Mobile.
During the week of October 24, 2006, when number portability was introduced, Masayoshi Son introduced a firework of new pricing plans – on the surface these pricing plans all advertise "Zero Yen", ie nominally the price of buying mobile phones from SoftBank appears to be ZERO.
Of course, with a consortium of lenders anxious to be repaid, SoftBank has no possibility of giving away mobile phones for free. In actual fact, our analysis shows that SoftBank at the end of the day actually increased prices slightly. SoftBank introduced a series of pricing plans, where customers essentially purchase the mobile phone handsets under an installment plan running over variable periods, but typically 48 months, with zero down payment at the time of initial purchase. So in fact, the terminals are not sold for ZERO YEN at all – this issue led to an investigation by Japan's Fair Trade Commission.
As is usual practice in Japan, the Fair Trade Commission did not single out Softbank, but critized each one of the major mobile operators for different unfair advertising practices, and encouraged each mobile operator to be more accurate in advertising discount plans.
SoftBank got away lightly – the image below shows on the left hand side the initial ZERO YEN announcement, which a few days later was hidden by a more careful explanation… (the Zero Yen poster can still be seen shining through the paper above…)

Amidst the auto market slump and the current mix of other special edition SLRs, Mercedes launches the final model under the SLR range—the 750,000 Euro (c. £710k) SLR Stirling Moss; also a farewell tribute to its Mclaren-Mercedes supercar. Only 75 of these demon speedsters will be built and each packs 641 bhp, maxing out at 217mph. Feel the wind in your face and where some sport goggles or a helmet, coz there's no windscreen, roof or side windows on the SLR Stirling Moss.
Named after the 1950s SLR driver who still holds the Mile Miglia record at 10 hours 7 minutes and 48 seconds, the SLR Stirling Moss is the last SLR, paving the way for the upcoming Mercedes Gullwing and the McLaren P11 in the next few years.
For £710k, you get to drive a supercharged 5.5 litre V8 with 641bhp and 590lb ft of thrust—rocketing your hide from 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds and topping off at 217mph. The SLR Stirling Moss' body is all carbonfibre, with black-painted gills and twin air scoops that act as rollover bars. There's an airbrake that automatically deploys if the SLR brakes above 75mph.
There are two tonneaus that envelope the cockpit so that your precious cabin won't get soaked in the rain or vandalized by thieves.
The SLR Stirling Moss limited edition will be built starting June 2009 and when all 75 are made by December 2009, the SLR range will officially end for Mercedes.

That being said Owen by Kevin Henkes is one of my FAVORITE books. (It also happens to be a Caldecott Honor Book from 1994- as seen below on the cover.)
Why do I love it so much?
#1: You can just tell Owen's a good kid, the kind of kid you'd want your own son to be.
#2: I was a blanket kid. Mine was named Byebee and I loved her with all of my heart and soul.
#3: You know how I just said Owen's the kind of kid you'd want your own son to be, well my son practically is Owen. (and he'd rather remain anonymous in this post)
His blanket isn't named Fuzzy like Owen's. His blanket is named NuNu and it has been since he could form words. My son LOVES NuNu. And he doesn't like to talk about it. And he DOESN"T like this book AT ALL. I think all the similarities embarrass him, not the mention the ending mortifies him. I won't share the ending with you (you'll have to read it on your own for that) but I will share the similarities. It's astonishing, really.

Tubal Cain, Buckhorn Mountain, B-17 Crash Site, Marmot Pass
May 22-23, 2015
21 Miles/4600 gain.
This was supposed to be our Mount St. Helens climb, but forecast for SW Washington was looking too fun so we looked at our options in the Olympic National Forest. With two friends, J-Hawk and I set out on a 21 mile course to explore old mine shafts, a crashed B17 airplane, and climb up to any summits.
Day 1:
It took about 2.5 hours to get from the house to the TH. We arrived around 1:00 and by 1:30 we set off. Camp was only 3.2 miles down the trail.

Cowardly: Is essentially a fish out of water when faced with unnatural situations in his employment at the Foundation. Has grown a deep-seated sense of fear towards all the unnatural aspects of his job, and also to that of the dangerous people and events encountered. This fear results in varied outcomes, at times leading him to catatonic shock, at times fear-crazed strength, but mostly leading to a desire to flee the scene.
Stubborn: We do it my way, or we don't do it at all. And my way, is always the right way. Got it?
Lazy: Dislikes to engage in any form of repititive work that he deems to be boring. Will attempt to weasel his way out of it as much as possible.

Personal History
Was involved in Incident ██ when he was called in to perform maintenance at the home of Dr. ████ who was, at that point in time, on vacation leave. Upon encountering SCP-████, he proceeded to attack it with his wrench, believing it to be a wild animal. Fortunately, Foundation personnel managed to apprehend both him and the specimen before either to could do much harm to the other.
He was subsequently hired due to recommendation by Dr. ██████, who asserted that he was a brilliant engineer, and was extremely thankful that his "plumbing was once again working swimmingly."
Rough personality, does not really care for the details of the Foundation, seeing it as merely a new employer. Dislikes to be involved in actual events concerning specimens, but grudgingly does so during research ventures etc. when he is required to do his job.
Lives in constant fear of SLJ.

The former Communists who rule Romania in the name of anti-communism have taken good-faith steps toward a post-Communist economy. Reforms presented to a special session of parliament by the economy and finance minister, Eugen Dimarescu, have the ring of the real thing. They include a floating exchange rate, a writing-off of inter-business debt, price liberalization and provisions for bankruptcy -- all part of the wrenching dismantlement of a disastrous command economy.
The active diplomacy of President Ion Iliescu and Prime Minister Petre Roman seems to be overcoming world reluctance to believe that Romania genuinely overthrew communism in 1989 when President Nicolae Ceausescu fell. NATO Secretary-General Manfred Woerner paid a two-day visit to Bucharest with a promise that the West would not abandon Romania. Hints are being thrown out that Washington will soon end its objections to a $1 billion rescue package by Group of Seven industrial nations.
Yet many Romanians have not dropped their own suspicions about the revolution of 1989 and the National Salvation Front government. It appeared that the parts of the army and Communist Party that were alienated from the Ceausescus took advantage of popular unrest to stage a palace coup, and called it a revolution. The National Salvation Front elected by a landslide in May 1990 in a free election, before the opposition could get its act together, is pretty much the surviving part of the old Communist Party.
Fortunately, the Civic Alliance, formed by intellectuals and trade unionists last November, is turning itself into a political party that will not, like the pre-existing non-Communist parties, be burdened by half-century-old ideological baggage or collaboration with Communist fronts.
This opposition needs to organize for the next elections. Romania is a halfway house. The former Communists cannot be blamed for trying to use the new rules to hang onto public approval. It is the responsibility of the opposition to offer a credible alternative and then to go out and win.

Bruins win 27-17, but this was a statistical lopsided victory for BYU. Their winning streak of 11 straight was the longest in the nation at the time it was broken. This is the team, BYU, that flattened Oregon in a bowl game, and Oregon just destroyed Michigan in Ann Arbor.
So, a Bruin hats off to the Cougars. May they go undefeated the rest of the year!
The Bruins will need miracles to beat the Trojans, the Bears and the Ducks, let alone Washington which ended Boise State's winning streak earlier in the day.
Ann Arbor must be the saddest place in the nation, except for South Bend! And Michigan and Notre Dame, each 0-2, face each other next week. A local sportswriter quipped that the game is no longer being televised by the Big Ten Network, but will be on the Food Network.

***Siyka N Mincheva 4.0 out of 5 stars A good read (February 24, 2019) I liked the plot, the characters and the development of the events and their interactions. The darknet was a place I would never want to be but I admire the author for the image and the strength of the characters to deal with it. I recommend the book to fans of suspense and fast-paced action.
***Tina 5.0 out of 5 stars Richly riveting (February 22, 2019) I really enjoyed this book. Really good plot to the story. Very well written. Would highly recommend it to anyone who likes this kind of stories. Can't wait to read more from this author. Fast paced to the end.
***R. R. 4.0 out of 5 stars Dark and Disturbing (February 23, 2019) …If you are a fan of the dark and the grotesque then you will definitely enjoy Netted: The Beginning. It is a short story perfect for an evening when you are home all alone, but just know if you frighten easily, you may want to sleep with the lights on!
***Patricia Eroh 5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling story (February 27, 2019) Wow, from the start, I was hooked on this story. It is gruesome and deals with human trafficking and worse! I was really upset over the subject but the dark web is real and it is a really bad place with many of the discussed happenings going on. This is a great read and will keep you turning the pages…
Chelsie Lorene LaVrar A Decently Scary Read (February 25, 2019) …The writing was fairly solid in my opinion. Rose knows how to weave a good short story. Mind you, this reads more like a novella than a full length novel so bare that in mind.
If you like horror and want to be creeped out, grab your copy today: mybook.to/Nettedebook
Warning: This book contains content that may be a trigger for some.
Seth, The Giveaway Guy, and I are giving away a $20 Amazon gift card. It ends on March 17, so get over there before it's too late! https://bit.ly/2EF0SFT

Google Fiber plans to offer installations to homes in Roeland Park by the end of the year. That was the message delivered to the Roeland Park City Council Monday at a specially-called council meeting to approve a variance for Google utility boxes.
Construction is now under way in Roeland Park on the network that will support fiber to individual homes. Rachel Merlo of Google Fiber's Kansas City team told the council that the company is ready to begin work above ground in the Roeland Park. That construction should finish by the end of July, she said, and the goal is to have installation ready to subscriber homes in Roeland Park this year. The schedule for Fiberhood rallies is a marketing decision, she said.
To begin the above-ground construction, Google needed a variance for the size of about a dozen utility boxes that it will be placing in either on public property or in the public utility easements that run behind homes. The Google cabinets exceeded the Roeland Park right-of-way ordinance by one inch on just one of its dimensions. The variance was granted unanimously.
Most of the boxes are 17 by 34 by 17 inches. Vaults for underground service also are being placed in front of some houses, but those are flush to the ground. Google contractors have been at work in Roeland Park and Westwood laying underground fiber in recent weeks.

Orange Is the New Black is one of the hottest new TV shows in recent memory, which is why OKMagazine.com is so excited to have star Jackie Cruz as our special correspondent from New York Fashion Week! She's exclusively sharing her diary with OKMagazine.com, so stay tuned for every show, party, and outfit!
For her first show of New York Fashion Week, Jackie Cruz checked out Heather Lawton in the midst of New York's crazy ice storm. "Even though mother nature gave us some snow and ice, it was a winter wonderland at the Heather Lawton presentation. I was amazed by all of the fur and leather, and blend Heather used to make it edgy and chic," says Jackie.
OK! News: Read Jackie's first New York Fashion Week diary entry!
"Every girl should own a piece of fur and leather in their closet, as it gives you that confident element any gal needs. Heather is one of my favorite designers as she has a futuristic vision with the unique cuts on her pieces." Jackie wore all Heather Lawton for her show.
Photos: Check out Kerry Washington's best fashion looks ever.
Then it was time for a NYFW refuel! "After an awesome presentation at Heather Lawton, my boyfriend Francisco Escobar (model) and I had lunch at the beautiful High Line Hotel. It was amazing to take in all the designs featured at the show in such an antique building," says Jackie. "But throughout the day, I was excited to see Wildfox's collection." She wore Wildfox and her mom's vintage leather jacket for the show.
Photos: Check out the cute shoes from Steve Madden's newest collection.
The Wildfox Couture show fit Jackie's style just right. "I ended my day with a little sunshine and vintage. The Wildfox runway show was everything I love," she says. "I'm a big vintage gal and seeing their inspired looks of couture mixed with a timeless flair was a big wow factor for me."
"Love the gypsy look and this brand represents a bit of who I am—a believer in confidence," says Jackie. It may be miserable outside, but nothing puts a smile on a girl's face like fashion. "Their pieces are sunny statements that helped clear our cold and bitter weather." Oh, and cupcakes never hurt.

Apparently, Studio Ghibli's "Arrietty" is premiering at the Sheffield Showroom on the 29th of May! Japanese with subs~ I've been wanting to see this movie for ages, it just looks so pretty *_* And it's only £2 per ticket to see it!! Best ever!
Since I'm not going to the London Expo (And since also 1. I can't do anything for my birthday tomorrow and 2. Can't see the Yu-Gi-Oh movie because it's too far) I decided to go and see this as a treat for such a sucky month. Hopefully by then my leg won't be bad at all and will be able to manage an evening out in Sheffield.
The trains are looking kinda crappy though! I can get there alright, but I have about just over an hour's wait wait until the next train home after the movie XD Ah well. Hopefully there won't be any cancellations, cos that would suck big time.
Very excited to see this movie though!! At least it's something for me to look forward to.
I also got a new monitor for my computer yesterday. It also doubles as a TV! Well, it can do, I currently have no TV signal going to it. The old monitor's problem of not showing a picture until 10-15 minutes after it's been switched on was getting worse, so I really needed a new one.
Wheee~ Tis my birthday tomorrow! I wish I was doing something for it, rather than being sat in the house, but oh well. Well, I have a birthday card and letter to send out to a friend of mine, so at least there's that. Might go for a little walk after that to see how my leg is.
Helen's mum brought round the presents Helen has got me a little while ago :) Not gonna open them until tomorrow, but yaaay presents!!

Habitat for Humanity
By Jim Crowley
Chair, Church in the World Committee
On an unseasonably warm Saturday afternoon in late October, HPC participated in the dedication of the Habitat for Humanity 2016 "Presbyterian house". Sponsored by 4 local churches – Highland, Second Presbyterian, Harvey Browne and Springdale Presbyterian – Habitat staff handed the keys to its new owner, Andrea Moody, a second generation Habitat homeowner and currently a nursing student at the University of Louisville. This home, and several other Habitat houses adjacent to it, are less than 2 miles from HPC on South Hancock Street in the Shelby Park neighborhood. Habitat has other houses under construction on Caldwell St., just a few blocks away.
You haven't heard much about Habitat lately; Highland participated in the "raise the roof" of this house in May and, due to scheduling issues with the build-team, we only had a small number of other work days over the summer. The Church in the World Committee will be working with Habitat to try to provide more opportunities for hands on mission in addition to the financial support that Highland provides.
Your gifts and financial commitment made this possible and we were excited to be a part of this house, particularly as it is situated so close to our church. We send our blessings and good wishes to Andrea.

After weeks of buildup the day is here: the DROID (and his little HTC buddy, the DROID Eris) is now for sale on Verizon's website. As expected Motorola's new flagship will set you back $200 after $100 online discount and two-year commitment while his underhyped Eris little bro is a penny shy of $100 after the same discount and contractual prostration. If you're looking to shed your contractual duties then you can hand over $560 in non-Android green for the option of going month-to-month.

Welcome to the online home of Audra Jennings, a book publicist and crafter. Here I share about both. I hope you'll find books you'll want to read and crafts you will want to order. I live a rather boring, single life. At times I would like to think I am humorous. The kids I teach in Bible class tend to think so. I also blog about current seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. I don't know why, I just do.
