In our piece 10 days ago we referred to the lazy MPs on the Foreign Affairs Select committee who so readily bought into the special pleading of the British Council. Well don't miss the "Called to Ordure" article on page 8 of the latest edition of Private Eye. The parliamentary committee, as the article says, mainly consists of dyed in the wool FCO supporters who took evidence "from a narrow world of foreign policy veterans" – so naturally they want more of our money for overseas antics as, in the words of the article, "it would be horrendous if the British Council actually had to meet its bills from its language schools". The lazy, out of touch Westminster parasite club.
"The only people not heard were the poor ruddy taxpayers".
And so say all of us.

The monthly cycle can be a cumbersome affair to many menstruating women of all age groups. While seeking medical help seems to be the most apparent option, niggling problems can be effectively ironed out by taking a leaf out of natural home remedies used by our grandmothers and their grandmothers. It will surprise us to know that they managed to find hands on solutions to most hassles sourcing readily available ingredients off their larders. Here are a few tips that were largely used by them rather successfully without any side effects. It will be a good idea to know them just in case we want to ease ourselves or our kind as and when we need them.
Women who have painful periods can overcome cramps forever if they consume a teaspoon of fenugreek seeds soaked overnight in curd with a pinch of salt for forty five days continuously on an empty stomach.
Consuming the plantain flower can do a world of good to the female of the human species. The flower contains the much needed home remedy for most problems related to the menstrual tribulations of women. These florets when cooked with dhal supplement the protein requirement quite adequately. There are certain ground rules for using the plantain flower as they can be a very sticky and tiresome process. For those of you, who are not familiar with the plantain flower, please note that each petal of the flower conceals more than a dozen florets. The first few petals which are a deep crimson could be discarded and only the florets are to be used in the given method. Once the petals appear to be cream in colour, the flower can be cut up as you would use any other vegetable.
If you happen to experience intermittent cramps or a dull continuous ache in the underbelly region rub a few drops castor oil in the area, the pain will subside. Repeat the process before your daily bath during the period to avoid more bouts of pain.
It is normal to have slightly bloated tummy before the period, if the condition continues post period add a little salt to a teaspoon of coconut oil and rub it on to your belly before your daily bath and leave it for ten minutes before washing it off.
Weakness, dizziness and low blood pressure syndromes during the period can be wiped away with a glass of pomegranate juice with a dash of lime in it.
Inability to eat on time or loss of appetite during the periods is usually a temporary phase. Consuming a couple of bananas and a glass of milk will supplement a nutritious meal and help us overcome acidity.
A full body oil massage followed by a hot water bath post the cycle can rejuvenate the body and mind by making it moisturized and supple.
Places of worship, Indian festivals, fasts and functions normally do not encourage the active participation of menstruating women for religious reasons. At such times ladies might like to advance or put off the cycle by a couple of days. Though one can use over the counter medication for the purpose, relying on natural home remedies will prove to be the best for one can be assured of zero side effects.
If you want to advance your period for some reason by four to five days start taking a spoonful of fried sesame seeds (til) along with a pinch of jaggery, til chikkis will also do the trick after the fifteenth day of the previous cycle.
If you are due for your period in a day or two and you are impatient to finish it off without it being an impediment to your schedule, two servings of papaya or pineapple will do the trick.
There may be times when you would want to defer the period by a couple of days. If there is time to plan it in advance, ensure that you have an oil bath at least three times a week. Refrain from the aforementioned foods which stimulate the menstrual cycle.

This post is a beauty. A beauty many would love to have. My brother in law who is a master at carpentry made this gorgeous island for my sister's country kitchen. Its the trunk of the tree he cut down himself and then he sliced parts of the tree the long side, sanded it real smooth, varnish it many times and then he put it together. When I saw this beautiful wooden master piece, I was in aw. It was breath taking. So here is the island or table many of us wish we all had.
It is a master piece and looks so beautiful in her country home.

The 8 TV Reunions We'd Most Like To See
By Joanna Robinson | Lists | November 15, 2012 |
By Joanna Robinson | Lists | November 15, 2012 |
It's never really possible to recapture lightning in a bottle. We all know this. That doesn't mean we don't get a kick out of two actors we've come to love together reuniting. Be it a guest spot on a TV show or a brief cameo in a film, these meet cutes send a little jolt of joy and recognition to our brains. And though those reunions can sometimes feel forced, they can, when done right, be a beautiful thing. So here are 8 TV Reunions I'd like to see. I don't mean to overstate the case, but I think they'd make the world a better place.
Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham on "Parenthood": Bledel hasn't done much with her post "Gilmore Girls" career. She was passably good last season on "Mad Men," but she's never been able to recapture that early Rory Gilmore sparkle. So while I wouldn't trade Mae Whitman for the whole wide world, I propose we bring Bledel in to date Graham's other TV spawn, Drew Braverman. So what if he's a teenager? Bledel looks permanently 17.
Jason Dohring and Kristen Bell on "House Of Lies": After an abysmal season on the CW's "Ringer," Dohring deserves to be brought back in to the quality TV fold. His brand of sleazy charm would fit in perfectly with Kristen Bell's current home, "House Of Lies." Bring him in as a client or, better yet, a business rival. The sparks alone would invigorate the series.
Ian McShane and Timothy Olyphant on "Justfied": Sure McShane has had a film career post-"Deadwood," but it's been filled with sub-par fare like Pirates Of The Caribbean and Snow White And The Huntsman. And as much as I've loved the various antagonists on "Justified," I crave a Swearengen/Bullock rematch. In the meantime, we can take comfort in the fact that we'll be seeing McShane soon enough on "American Horror Story".
Josh Holloway and Elizabeth Mitchell on "Revolution": Remember when Sawyer was one of the best things going on TV? Now Josh Holloway fans can look forward to Battle of the Year: The Dream Team wherein "an American b-boy crew heads to France to compete at the Battle of the Year International Championships." If that doesn't wet your whistle, he's got fourth billing in an upcoming Harrison Ford thriller. So he's got that going for him. Which is nice. Anyway, "Revolution" is just the latest in a long line of pretty dreadful "Lost" knock-offs, but if it were Holloway in the lead "Rakish Uncle" role, that would improve things considerably. It would also give the lovely Elizabeth Mitchell something to do other than mope in a candlelit rooms.
Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton on "Nashville": Strike that. I wouldn't wish a "Nashville" guest spot on my worst enemy. Besides, Kyle Chandler is doing quite well for himself, movie career wise. The real tragedy is what in the ever-loving f*ck is Connie Britton doing on this show? Where in the blazes is her film career?
Jared Leto and Claire Danes on "Homeland": Leto hasn't made a film since 2009 and though he has a few in the hopper, I'd much rather see him on "Homeland." As a love interest? Oh no. I'd like to see Claire Danes go full-blown, off-her-meds crazy on Leto's character. Preferably there would be physical violence involved. Why? Because Jordan Catalano was a self-involved prick, that's why. And I'd like Angela Chase to have some closure.
Alternatively....Sarah Shahi and Damian Lewis on "Homeland": I mentioned my love for "Life" just yesterday and with apologies to the lovely Zuleikha Robinson, I think the tension and chemistry between Shahi and Lewis make her a much better fit for the Roya role.
Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson on "Hart of Dixie": I've heard this is actually a pretty cute show. I mean, I watched an episode and saw no evidence of that. But, hey, to each his or her own. That being said, if Brody (and Captain Oats) were to show up then this would become required viewing. Should Adam Brody have a film career? He should. Should that film career involve (no joke) a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie? It most assuredly should not. So come back to TV, Seth Cohen. You can be, once again, the king of the nerds.
Tip of the Stetson to Bert The Pajiban for the idea!

Temporary traffic counter devices have been temporarily installed as part of the Phase I engineering effort for the Westmore-Meyers Road Safety and Bicycle Pedestrian Improvement Project.
The devices were installed on Monday, April 3, 2017 and will be in place through the end of the week. The devices record vehicular movements that will be used to develop an intersection capacity analysis for all signalized intersections within the project limits, which include Westmore-Meyers Road from Roosevelt Road to St. Charles Road.The Village's consultant will conduct 4 hour a.m. and p.m. traffic counts at all signalized intersections and both regional trail crossings; the Great Western Trail and the Illinois Prairie Path. Counts will include vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists. The analysis will provide a comparison between existing lane configurations and the proposed roadway section that is being considered by the Village. The project was included as part of the Village-Wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan that was adopted by the Village Board of Trustees in 2016. Additional information about the Bike Plan and the proposed project can be found on the Village's website at http://www.villageoflombard.org/documentcenter/view/15765. For additional information, please contact the Department of Public Works at (630)620-5740.

- Keeping offices cool
- Offices
- Meeting Rooms
- Case Studies
Ensuring your office-based people stay productive at work is crucial to the success of your business. Everyone experiences difficulties when trying to concentrate in a hot, stuffy working environment. There is a close correlation between excessive temperature and a decline in our productivity and general well-being. Accidents, mistakes, low morale and increased absenteeism all occur more frequently in extremes of temperature, with most people feeling comfortable in a temperature of 18-21°C and a relative humidity of 40%-60%. That's why more and more owners and managers of offices and meeting places are turning to Andrews Sykes and discovering the impressive financial benefits of ensuring a comfortable, air conditioned environment.
Let us help you be fully prepared by providing a free site survey to establish exactly what your cooling requirements are.
Modern offices are increasingly filled with electrical and electronic equipment generating large quantities of heat. Many commercial buildings, particularly in our towns and cities, no longer have opening windows for reasons of security or noise insulation. Although permanently installed air conditioning is increasingly common in modern offices, it is rare in older properties. Even if AC is fitted, changes to the building's use, occupation levels or layout often render the fitted system inadequate for the current cooling requirements. These problems are bad enough even without a spell of hot weather, so when the sun does come out, discomfort can quickly turn into an unbearably hot situation.
Before this happens in your office, why not arrange a free, no-obligation site survey and quotation from Andrews? We'll advise you on the most suitable equipment from our extensive range, whether it's fully integrated, standalone air conditioners, split systems which enable the heat exchanger to be located outdoors, or evaporative coolers which avoid the need for any tubes or hoses. We will also agree the best locations for the equipment to maximise the degree of cooling performance with minimal cost.
Even if your main working area usually remains acceptably cool, many offices have server rooms which generate additional heat. Computer equipment will fail in excessive temperatures so ask our business continuity planning experts about how our hire air conditioners can deliver supplementary cooling during hot weather, or provide emergency replacement in the event of your fixed AC breaking down.
Productive meetings clearly rely on attendees remaining engaged and fully focussed on the matters being discussed. People's ability to concentrate and remain productive is adversely affected if they feel uncomfortably hot. Meeting rooms often have large areas of glazing which create rapid solar heat gain. In multi-storey or city centre buildings these windows are often fixed closed, preventing the use of natural ventilation. Meeting rooms are also often used intensively with high occupancy rates. Lots of people in a confined space can quickly cause temperatures and humidity to soar.
Temporary air conditioning is the ideal way to keep those important meetings cool, calm and productive. Andrews Sykes portable air conditioners are designed to deliver high performance whilst operating quietly and energy-efficiently. All our machines are discreetly designed and simple to use. To ensure complete reliability all units are fully tested before delivery and our engineers will install them, making sure you know exactly how to use them. We'll advise on the correct choice for you - from our small integrated Polar Breeze and Polar Wind units, to our market leading 6.5kW PAC22 model and a comprehensive range of evaporative coolers.
So no matter how heated the meeting may get, you can be sure to stay cool with Andrews Sykes temporary air conditioning.

Cosmic ray detector confirms hints of dark matter
Space station-based instrument records high amount of antimatter seen in earlier experiments
A $2-billion experiment on the International Space Station has released the first data from its unprecedented census of the charged subatomic particles whizzing by Earth. Although the results, presented April 3 at a seminar at CERN in Geneva, largely confirm previous observations, researchers hope they will lead to discovering the identity of dark matter, an invisible form of matter that outweighs normal matter in the universe by more than 5 to 1.
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is the latest and most ambitious attempt to uncover the identity of dark matter by looking for cosmic rays, which are charged subatomic particles cruising through space. Th

Scene on the river bank at Theyetmyo, the frontier station, on the Irrawaddy, of Lower Burmah
Photographer: Hooper, Willoughby Wallace (1837-1912)
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1885
Photograph of a scene on the river bank at Thayetmyo in Burma (Myanmar), taken by Willoughby Wallace Hooper in 1885. The photograph is one of a series documenting the Third Anglo-Burmese War (1885-86) made by Hooper while serving as Provost Marshal with the British army. He had sailed from Madras in India with Royal Artillery troops on 3 November 1885. From Rangoon, the capital of British Burma, the British forces travelled up the Irrawaddy River to Mandalay, the Burmese royal capital, in steamers requisitioned from the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company. Thayetmyo was the British post on the river nearest to the frontier with Upper Burma. The print is accompanied by a caption written by Hooper, which reads: "This station is on the right bank of the river, a short distance above Prome, which latter place is connected by rail with Rangoon, being a night's run from that place. The Expedition left this station on 15th Nov., 1885, on its way up the river to the attack of Mandalay. The great river steamer is seen between the two flats which it has carried up, on either side of it; from one of which communication is being held with the shore by means of planks." In addition to his military responsibilities, Hooper was a dedicated amateur photographer who had worked in collaboration with an army veterinary surgeon, George Western, in India, where his subjects had included ethnographical studies, the life of the British, and the Madras famines of 1876-78. The Burma war series of photographs is considered "one of the most accomplished and comprehensive records of a nineteenth century military campaign". They were published in 1887 as 'Burmah: a series of one hundred photographs illustrating incidents connected with the British Expeditionary Force to that country, from the embarkation at Madras, 1st Nov, 1885, to the capture of King Theebaw, with many views of Mandalay and surrounding country, native life and industries'. There were two editions, one with albumen prints, one with autotypes, and a series of lantern slides was also issued. A political scandal arose following allegations by a journalist that Hooper had acted sadistically in the process of photographing the execution by firing squad of Burmese rebels. The subsequent court of inquiry concluded that he had behaved in a "callous and indecorous" way and the affair raised issues of the role of the photograph in documenting human suffering and the conduct of the British military during a colonial war. The war culminated in the annexation of Upper Burma on 1 January 1886 by the British and the exile of King Thibaw (reigned 1878-1885), the last of the Burmese kings, and his queen Supayalat, to India.

Robert E. Murray
Murray Energy Corporation, along with its Subsidiary Companies, is proud to provide low cost, reliable, and high quality coal supplies to our electric utility customers, with safety as our top priority.
Over the past three decades, Murray Energy has positioned itself as one of the most reliable and efficient coal producers in America. Our focus on safety, efficiency, and strategy has positioned Murray Energy to survive the very difficult coal marketplace.
Indeed, our industry is embattled from excessive federal government regulations from the Obama Administration and by the increased use of natural gas for the generation of electricity. In my sixty-one years of coal mining experience, I have never before seen the destruction of an industry that we saw during the Obama presidency with reliable, low cost electric power also being eliminated.
But, protecting and preserving the coal industry is a human issue to me, as I know the names of many of the Americans whose jobs and family livelihoods have been destroyed by the federal government's failed anti-coal policies and senseless regulations. They are our employees.
Americans must understand that the closure of 411 coal-fired power plants, over 100,000 megawatts, by the Obama Administration jeopardizes the reliability of our electric power grid and the low cost of electricity. This destruction of our industry will hurt poor families the worst and make the manufacturing of American products less competitive in the world marketplace. Low cost electricity, a staple of our lives, is threatened.
Murray Energy Corporation, however, is designed to withstand these challenges, as we consistently focus on safety, efficiency, strategy, and low cost coal and transportation for our electricity generating customers.
We will continue to fight for low cost electricity in our Country and for our employees' jobs and lives. We thank you for your interest in Murray Energy Corporation.

I have been a bit skeptical about whether our new residence would allow me to experience that closeness with nature that I have grown accustomed to over the years.
I absolutely love the rural life in Kansas and have been quite blessed to have had the opportunity to live in areas with abundant wildlife in the past. Our current home, a rental, located in the western part of Ellis County has been a bit of a surprise in comparison to our previous location where we were nestled among a truly wild part of Kansas.
I must say this place meets all of my expectations.
For the outdoor enthusiast, the requirements for happiness and joy are simply seeing and hearing wildlife on a regular basis.
This spring has been particularly satisfying as my need for nature has been answered.
My typical spring morning begins by seeking out a few essentials to get the day going -- a healthy mug of hot, freshly-brewed coffee and a trek out the back door to gaze at the wooded area on the other side of the winter wheat field near our home. At first light, I often am standing outside in my pajamas, gazing and listening, while keeping my hands warm around a warm mug of Folgers.
There are regulars that inhabit our little piece of heaven -- four rooster pheasants, three discernible pairs of bobwhite quail, eight mule deer, two white-tailed deer, a hen turkey and most recently two tom turkeys that duel with their morning gobbles from different trees.
Some of them make regular visits and announcements while others, like the mule deer, are irregular visitors.
During the last several weeks amidst the gobbling turkeys, crowing pheasants, and gathering quail, I have been hearing a deep, quaking sound I have had difficulty identifying.
But this week, on a rare and perfectly calm morning, I recognized what the rumbling was all about -- booming prairie chickens.
That unique sound finally was clearly distinguishable. I am quite familiar with the sounds of these booming birds, but the terrain must have been doing something quite unique to their morning musical performances. It sounded more like the rumbling of a distant earthquake.
Now they are a part of my morning wake-up call.
I always try to stay hidden from the traffic that drives by on the paved road by our home, so as not to embarrass those who might catch a glimpse of me in my odd-colored PJ's.
Occasionally I draw a honk from a passing neighbor, which is a little embarrassing for me. But helpful, too, as their car horn always helps me locate our gobbling turkeys.
Sorry for the show, nobody really wants to see that in the morning, but thanks for the help, those gobblers are still around.

MedMinder's latest generation of medication dispenser, the Jon locking pill dispenser, has a locking function to ensure the safety and comfort for the users and their loved ones. No longer should you or your parents worry about overdosing or mis-dosing
The Jon pill dispenser has a locking feature that allows users access to only the correct compartment at the correct dosage time; all other compartments will remain locked. The medication dispenser is electronic and can be controlled remotely using the MedMinder website. Similar to the Maya pill dispenser, Jon locking pill dispenser is simple, affordable and easy to use. MedMinder's pill dispenser looks like a basic seven-day pillbox. Designed with ease of use in mind, its simple and friendly interface has no digital readouts or buttons. The medication dispenser contains 28 compartments for a week's supply of medication and can accommodate dozens of different types of pills.
The Jon locking pill dispenser is equipped with wireless technology (internal cellular modem) that updates MedMinder's central computer about the patient's dosage activity. This information is available online for caregivers who can also receive immediate email or text message notifications and weekly reports. You or your caregiver can easily programme the medication dispenser and customize preferences remotely via the Internet. You can also call MedMinder and we will do this for you. At the patient's home, there is no need for a computer, phone line, wireless router or any other form of Internet access – all that is required is electricity. The pill dispenser uses a built-in micro cell phone to connect with our monitoring station.
Once the Jon automatic pill dispenser is set up, it provides the following:
- Patient reminders: When it's time to take a medication, the appropriate compartment flashes. If the cup is not removed within the assigned time frame, the patient can get auditory prompts as well as optional automatic phone calls, text messages and emails.
- Remote monitoring capabilities: MedMinder keeps records of patient activities. The caregiver can access this information via the Internet or receive real-time email or text message notifications. Weekly and monthly email reports are also available.
Two easy re-filling options:
- Manual: Simply lifting Jon's lid opens all of the 28 compartments, allowing the caregiver or patient to place the medications in the proper cups.
- Pre-filled tray: Jon pill dispenser also accepts MedMinder-supplied trays pre-filled by a pharmacist or caregiver. This feature greatly reduces the risk of medication errors and ensures all compartments are correctly filled.
MedMinder provides rich reports regarding the medication activity. Detailed reports show when cups were taken out of the medication dispenser, when refilled and if any medications were missed. If you choose MedMinder will email you these reports pro-actively.

California State Senator Mark Leno has already sponsored legislation to step-up "queering" another notch by teaching homosexual "history" to elementary school students (…history which will not teach Genesis 19). Now he wants to legalize multiple parents for children.
He says it is "time we move beyond one's genitals" defining their gender:
"CeCe McDonald may be a 6 foot 2 inch black man with a full complement of male genitalia on the outside but on the inside there's a woman who cannot be safely housed inside a male prison…""
Indeed, it seems there is no such thing as "gender specific" anymore.
Donald Douglas at American Power Blog has the entire story, including Leno's history. To quote Donald:
Shoot, get enough "families" like that and you just have to change the laws again to allow all three of them to marry. The man will have two lesbian wives. Perfect!
A dog's devotion to family is well-known. After multiple partner marriages, let's include the family dog as a parent…or a wife…or a husband…or a transgender…or…

WHITTIER >> When an innocent person loses his or her life to homicide, the person who is eulogized and buried is far from the only victim whose life is shattered by violence.
Once the services are held and the departed are laid to rest, family members and loved ones of the victim, as well as the community-at-large in which the victim lived, are left to face grief, questions that have no answers and a longing for justice for the slain.
But those affected by homicide in the Southland turn to each other for strength and guidance through their difficult journeys, finding comfort in the company of others who truly know what it means to lose a loved one to senseless violence.
• Photos: Justice for Homicide Victims gather at Rose Hills in Whittier
Surrounded by nearly 300 posters featuring the faces of violently slain loved ones, a supportive community of those touched by homicide and those who work tirelessly to bring them justice gathered Sunday for the 32nd Justice for Homicide Victims Memorial at Rose Hills Memorial Park and Mortuary in Whittier,
"The only person who understands what a homicide victim goes through is another homicide victim," JHV President Bill Bouffard, who hosted the even along with wife Jane Bouffard, who serves as President of the Homicide Victims Memorial Fund.
But at Sunday's gathering, Bouffard urged those in attendance, "For a few moments, feel at ease, because you're with other people who understand."
JHV selected two Los Angeles County deputy district attorneys to honor as Prosecutors of the Year for their exemplary work in the pursuit of justice on behalf of murder victims.
Deputy District Attorney Robert Villa prosecuted Joseph Mercado for the brutal, March 6, 2010, attack on the family of his ex-girlfriend in Hawaiian Gardens that left three people dead, and another seriously wounded. Killed were Mercado's ex-girlfriend, Serena Tarin, 23, her brother Alfredo Tarin Jr., 19, and her father Alfredo Tarin Sr., 54. Mercado was sentenced to death in January.
Valerie Tarin, sister and daughter to the victims, survived the attack with several other family members by crawling onto the roof of the home to escape. She thanked Villa for his dedication.
"He stood by us. He always let us know what was going on," Valerie Tarin said. "Mr. Villa was always there and always helped us out."
Villa described the honor as "humbling."
• Video: 32nd Homicide Victims Memorial
"We do what we do because someone has to speak for the victims," the prosecutor said.
"It's so sad to see what actually happens to a family," Villa said. "(Murder) leaves a big hole. We try to do our best to mend the hole. We can't mend it. But we can try to get some justice."
And despite the difficulties that accompany prosecuting a murder case, "Someone has to tell the story, and I'm glad it's me," Villa said.
Deputy District Attorney Sarika Kim handled the second two of three trials held for Leonard Hall Jr. who fatally shot 5-year-old Aaron Shannon Jr. as he modeled his Spiderman costume for relatives in his own backyard in Compton on Halloween of 2010. After two mistrials, the killers third trial ended with a conviction, and he was sentenced to 128 years in prison.
While a single murder trial can be an emotionally excruciating process for family members of a homicide victim, Aaron Shannon Jr.'s grandfather, William Shannon, had to experience it three times. He thanked Kim for her tenacity and perseverance in bringing his grandson's killer to justice.
"It's not something to smile about or to be happy about, but it does bring some sense of closure," William Shannon said.
Guests released doves and balloons, lit candles and left messages to their loved ones on a special memorial tree.
Ten-year-old Alina Ponce's mother, 22-year-old Eileen Ponce-Orta of Covina, was found murdered on Feb. 15, 2008, in Pomona.
Ponce shared her experience with Camp Good Grief, a camp operated by the San Bernardino County and Loma Linda University Medical Center for children who lost a parent to homicide or suicide.
"Camp Good Grief provides a loving and comforting place for children like me," she said. "They allow you to share about your loved one, and if you don't want to share, that's OK, too. They gave us each a packet of tissues, because it's OK to cry."
"I met many friends, and we all felt like one big family because everyone understands each other," Ponce said.
"We also did fun activities," she said, such as ropes course. "I can't wait until next year's camp."
Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, State Sen. Bob Huff, R-San Dimas, and San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael Ramos were among dignitaries who shared remarks with the audience.
"Nobody that has a picture up here of a family member ever wanted to be in this system. It's something that happens to you," Ramos said.
But he assured families that prosecutors' first priority, beyond bringing killers to justice, is to aid the families devastated by the crimes.
"We're going to meet with the families every step of the way," he said.

This article has been updated from a previous version which misidentified the convict in the Tarin family homicide of 2010. The convict is Joseph Mercado.

We've spent quite a lot of time in this area in both 2013 and 2014 (click on the year if you'd like to read about our previous stays). Now that we've been on the road for over four years we've made lots of friends on the road and Tucson happens to be a popular place for nomads to winter...thus, this stay was full of social time, including several happy hours and a few recreational outings.
Instead of rehashing trails I've written about before and going on about various social events, I'm going to let the photos of our outings tell the story of our stay in Tucson...
|We arrived in Tucson under threat of rain. Though the rain barely materialized, the clouds were stunning on an early morning walk on the trails behind Justin's RV Park.
We hiked Bridal Wreath Falls in 2013, this time John and Pam joined us.
|We thought Bridal Wreath Falls would be a little bigger than this due to the recent rains.
|Enjoying water in the desert with John and Pam.
|Eagle eye Pam spotted this crested saguaro.
|We biked from Justin's RV park one day and found this crested beauty on the way to Gilbert Ray campground.
We hiked the Hugh Norris/Dobe Wash Loop with Steve and Mona Liza one day.
|Photo break after climbing the zillion stairs on the Hugh Norris trail.
Since Tucson is so spread out it was great to move up to Catalina State Park and focus on trails in NE Tucson. We love the views at Catalina! Plus we got to spend time with our local friends Dennis and Sheryl.
|We may not have gotten one of the prime perimeter sites at Catalina,
but the middle sites still have great views and plenty of space.
|Dennis and Hans hanging out on Alamo Creek, a wonderful little unmarked trail at Catalina SP.
|Sheryl photographing me as I photograph her!
|Hans and I hiked the steep, rocky Romero Pools trail one day and were surprised to see this blooming agave...
the only one blooming of the many miles we hiked in Tucson!
|Agave chrysantha
|Romero Pools
|Log surfing!
Mark and Bobbie clued us in to the new Honeybee mountain bike trail so we joined them on a 20 mile ride one day. What a fun ride! Long, gentle uphill on mostly smooth trail, followed by a long flowing downhill. The entire trail winds among cactus so you must constantly watch out for stickers, but every stop provides expansive views. We learned that the best place to park (currently) is the empty dirt lot at the intersection of Golder Ranch Rd and Oracle Hwy. Plus...Nico's Tacos (next to Basha's) are a great way to refuel after this ride!
|Only one flat tire among four people on 20 miles of trail through cactus...not too shabby!
|Hundreds of these ground squirrels at Catalina State Park!
|Lots of birds too!
That's it for Tucson for this year. Today we moved north where we'll hop around the parks surrounding Phoenix for a couple of weeks.

How Killefer Hurts Daschle
UPDATE 12:48 p.m.: Tom Daschle has withdrawn from consideration as the Health and Human Services Secretary designate, citing his desire not to be a distraction to the president.
Original Post
The decision of Nancy Killefer to withdraw her name from consideration as President Obama's chief performance officer due to tax questions has the potential to further complicate former Sen. Tom Daschle's (S.D.) already rocky confirmation process as secretary of the Health and Human Service Department.
In a letter of resignation released by the White House, Killefer wrote: "I have also come to realize in the current environment that my personal tax issue of D.C. Unemployment tax could be used to create exactly the kind of distraction and delay those duties must avoid."
Killefer is the the third Obama pick to face tax questions; Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was forced to apologize for not paying $34,000 in Social Security and Medicare taxes but ultimately was confirmed while Daschle continues to fight for his political life amid revelations that he had failed to pay more than $140,000 in back taxes.
As we wrote this morning, Daschle faces major problems -- the optics of having not paid taxes on a car and driver provided by a wealthy donor are TERRIBLE -- but will likely be confirmed barring any other revelations.
Killefer's resignation could be those "other" revelations.
While the Killefer resignation is obviously not directly connected to Daschle, it certainly will have an effect on the political environment in which the former South Dakota senator finds himself battling for his nomination.
As any reporter knows, three related events amount to a storyline -- meaning that Obama and his senior aides are now certain to face a barrage of questions (starting with today's press briefing) on whether the president has a problem with his vetting process for top Cabinet picks. Obama's interviews this afternoon with the top anchors for the major networks will now almost certainly lead off with questions about Killefer, Geithner and Daschle.
Obviously, that is not the narrative the Obama White House wants dominating the news coverage as it tries to sell the economic stimulus plan to a somewhat skeptical Senate.
All of that spells trouble for Daschle -- as does the continued drumbeat on the story, which was kept up this morning by two developments.
The first: a New York Times editorial calling for Daschle to step aside.
"Mr. Daschle is another in a long line of politicians who move cozily between government and industry," reads the editorial. "We don't know that his industry ties would influence his judgments on health issues, but they could potentially throw a cloud over health care reform. Mr. Daschle could clear the atmosphere by withdrawing his name."
The second is an old Daschle campaign ad circulating among the Washington chattering class this morning that -- irony of ironies -- shows Daschle driving around in a beat-up Pontiac (and driving by a chauffeured limousine).
In politics, the context in which any given event happens and the way in which said event is perceived are absolutely critical when analyzing the outcome. Until this morning, Daschle looked like he would make it through the nomination fight -- battered but confirmed. The Killefer revelations badly cloud Daschle's prospects and make the next 24 to 48 hours even more critical.

"Your comment leads me to believe that it is not ok for the republicans to try to get the non-stimulus items out of the stimulus package. I ask you, how does spending millions of dollars for smoking cessation stimulate the economy? How does spending millions of dollars for a tax break for Hollywood film makers stimulate the economy? How does spending millions of dollars to get new furniture for a government office stimulate the economy? How does... maybe you should research some items in the current stimulus package that the democrats have been trying to force the republicans to support."
Its fine for the Republicans to try and get these items out. In fact, Obama did make some concessions to the Republicans. However, we are talking about relatively miniscule amounts of money when it comes to Republican complaints. It's fine to complain about those things. It's fine to get them removed. Is it fine for a party-wide boycott of the bill? I'm not so sure about that.
If they are going to continue with this behavior, then you can't really expect for them to take too much credit if things start to turn around.

I concur with the "rotation of the crop" theory of one reader and not with the gender specific of another here. Bottom line is what's good for the goose should be good for the gander, big or small, its all the same....pay up, pay on time or pay the consequences - just like the rest of us! I don't like penalties and interest on top of extensions and back taxes anymore than the next guy but you better be charging them accross the board. Don't make me file a class action suit against the IRS for unfair trade practices or whatever the heck we might call it. Sick to death of the double standards.

Come on, folks, we are not that naive. This is not a partisan issue so stop acting like it is one. My Father had a comedic saying: "It isn't wrong...until you get caught." Sad to say, but this may apply to many sitting in the U.S. Congress.
Fact of the matter is this: whether many politicians are Democrat or Republican, they have still, at one time or another, seated themselves within the halls of power and tasted the sweet nectar of privilege. Power and Privilege are addictive and many will do ANYTHING to maintain that style of life once they have had it....especially in such a consumerist and materialistic nation as the one we live in (or should I say, more accurately, "as consumerist and materialistic a nation as we have become").
These adults had to know that anything they did would come out when they accepted the nominations to these positions. No one who has lived a life on this planet is blameless; we all have skeletons in our closets. Large or small, they still exist. That said, the nature of the nominees' transgressions in a time of economic unrest, in MY mind, underscores something I have said about our system of government in recent years...
We need more statesmen. In this category, I do NOT mean reporters, pundits, or anyone with a political agenda in mind. I mean STATESMEN...people who give a damn about causes affecting the nation (and in some cases, the world) and who are taking aim to make change happen without endorsements from Capitol Hill or private industry.
It is possible that what we need to do in this country is to only allow our leaders (Senators, Congresspeople, Representatives) to only remain seated for a finite time in office. If only to keep some fresh voices and ideas running through the lifeblood of the american people. The privilege engendered by so many who have remained in office for too long (as well as the Pattern of privilege perpetuated by same) seems to be a big part of the problem.
At the very least, a "rotation of the crops" might keep some of the politicians honest...

Motto of the loony-left liberal d-crats: "You pay taxes so we don't have to."
It's bad enough that the d-crats waste trillions of taxpayer money on a harmful pork-filled social-welfare "stimulus", endless bailouts and other garbage. It adds insult to injury to have them hand over responsible finance positions to TAX CRIMINALS.
Tim Geithner, hussein's Secretary of Treasury and head of IRS - this TAX CHEAT failed to pay $34,000 in federal taxes plus thousands more in state taxes.
Charlie Rangle, Chairman, House Ways and Means Committee - this TAX CHEAT failed to pay $10,000 in federal taxes plus thousands more in state taxes. Yet, botox pelosi keeps him in charge of the Tax Panel!
Caroline "You Know" Kennedy, Loony-Left Princess - failed to disclose the enormous amount of her TAX CHEATING on her $400 MILLION inherited fortune.
Keith Olbermann, The Most Biased Political Commentator on The Most Biased Loony-Left Liberal Cable Network - so far his warrants and penalties for TAX CHEATING in California and New York amount to more than $100,000.
Tom Daschle - hussein's candidate for HHS secretary - this TAX CHEAT failed to pay $128,000 in federal taxes, plus tens of thousands more in state taxes. Recent evidence indicates he has cheated on more items. In addition, he has received over $220,000 from the same healthcare groups he would deal with as HHS secretary.
Nancy Killefer - hussein's candidate for chief performance officer - this TAX CHEAT has a tax lien on her home filed by the D.C. government over nonpayment of employment taxes on household help.
In JUST TWO WEEKS, the hussein regime has become the most TAX CORRUPT GOVERNMENT IN HISTORY.
D-crats love to tax you to death, then tax your death. But they hate to pay taxes, and they'll cheat the government out of every penny they can.

It would be a good time for Daschle to withdraw. I remember when Austin's own Adm Bob Inman, a great American, was denied a Cab post for failing to report or pay payroll taxes on a domestic servant.
If Daschle does not withdraw, and considering that Geithner was confirmed, the Killefer matter will set the standard:
Don't pay taxes related to a domestic servant and you cannot be in the Cabinet.
