One resister has received a deportation date. Others are awaiting removal decisions.
The War Resisters Support Campaign is deeply concerned that this is the beginning of an attempt by the Harper government to remove remaining U.S. war resisters from Canada.
We are calling on supporters once again to take action. The strong response of Canadians is what has kept U.S. war resisters in Canada for the past ten years.
Here are two things you can do to help right now:
1. Write to Chris Alexander, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration and cc your MP – they need to hear from you! Let them know that:
• U.S. war resisters came to Canada because of their conscientious objection to the illegal and immoral war in Iraq
• they have faced direct interference in their cases by the Harper government and have not been able to get a fair hearing
• a majority of Canadians want them to stay in Canada
• ask the Minister to cease all deportations
Contact info:
Hon. Chris Alexander
Minister of Citizenship & Immigration
House of Commons, Ottawa, Ontario Canada K1A 0A6
To find the contact info for your MP, go to http://www.parl.gc.ca/SenatorsMembers.aspx?Language=E and enter your postal code under "Find a Member of Parliament".
2. Donate to the Defence Fund for war resisters
You can make a donation online at http://gofundme.com/letthemstay

Is conscientious objection to military service a fundamental right for all, or a select few?
Come find out with Rachel Brett, human rights representative at the Quaker UN Office in Geneva and Alyssa Manning, lawyer for many of the U.S. war resisters.

Many people believe that to be a Conscientious Objector (C.O.) you have to be against all war and violence – and, if so, why would you have ever joined the military? Many types of people seek C.O. status all over the world – the issue is as relevant today as during World War II. Some are people of faith, some of no faith, some object to serving in the military and need protection from conscription, and some (like the U.S. War Resisters who are in Canada) develop an objection to war (or a particular war) through the experience of serving in the military. Are all of these cases "legitimate"?
Rachel has worked on C.O. issues for decades within the United Nations system and internationally as the human rights representative at the Quaker UN Office Geneva. Alyssa has represented US War Resisters in a number of precedent-setting legal cases in Canada.
This is a rare opportunity to dialogue with two of the most talented and interesting advocates for conscientious objectors.

I recently purchased a S&W 10mm 1076. I would appreciate recommendations on defense ammo!
This is a discussion on Defense Ammo for my S&W 1076 10mm within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I recently purchased a S&W 10mm 1076. I would appreciate recommendations on defense ammo!...
I recently purchased a S&W 10mm 1076. I would appreciate recommendations on defense ammo!
DT's 135gr load does not sufficiently penetrate deep enough to be considered for self defense. Also it's quite known in the industry that DT's expansion measurements aren't taken to the industry standard and indicates the person who took the tests doesn't know how to measure their loads for terminal ballistics much less publish results properly. Knowing what you are doing goes a long way.
07/02 FFL/SOT since 2006
Or you can ask people that know what they are doing.
That being said, the Nosler JHP that DT uses is not a defensive bullet. It's a target bullet. It should not be used as a defensive bullet. I trust Nosler's research more than DTA's testing.
07/02 FFL/SOT since 2006
I guess Hornady or a Gold Dot loaded by Georgia Arms or Buffalo Bore. They seem to be well recommended.
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
-Thomas Jefferson
Laws are restrictive but sometimes necessary to maintain a civil society. Rights are nonrestrictive but are always necessary to maintain a free society.
It doesn't really matter. I have seen what it does first hand, and I have 100% confidence in it as a load for social purposes, plenty of penetration in animal tissue which more closely resembles the human body than geletin. Additionally, the bullet holds together well. I would say Mcnett and company are doing something right, they have been in business for a long time, while other wannabe ammo makers remain for the most part unheard of. Yeah, I'd say they know a couple of things.
I would trust the company that actually designed and made the bullet rather than the company merely using the bullet to assemble ammunition. I would rather trust the company that's been in business longer that the owner of the other company has been alive. You want to play this game?
07/02 FFL/SOT since 2006
Clearly you have no basic understanding of terminal ballistics as a science. That's fine. Carry on.
07/02 FFL/SOT since 2006
The 10mm 135gr Nosler JHP will fragment at 1500fps and faster. The .357 125gr JHP will not.
There is a lot to bullet design that is not understood by the body public. Just because something can be used in a circumstance doesn't mean it's the proper choice. Sierra opines against using the MatchKing bullet on animals yet many hunter report splendid results. I default to Sierra, since they designed it, make it, and continually R&D each design. They know more about their own products than anyone else in the world.
07/02 FFL/SOT since 2006
Fragmentation is not a necassarily a bad thing, as many self defense rounds are designed for this such as Glacier, and others. Depending on the envioroment, such as on a bus or airplane. Also, I suspect sectional density[I know I am not supposed to know anything about that] plays a big role in a bullets ability to perform, or penetrate. If the 135 grain is fired point blank, it may fragment some, maybe not. If it travels some distance, shedding velocity, it may not frag. Once again, my experience with this bullet was almost total penetration of a good sized deer. It broke a rib at a quarting shot and stopped against the right shoulder, under the blade. the bullet was almost completlely intact, although it did lose some of its jacket. It is from this that I believe it would be a good choice for someone wanting the power and energy but not over penetration. I can tell you that the SIERRA MATCHKING is a great sniper round, and target round, but I have never used it on animals. I cannot believe that a 38 or 9mm firing bullets at a measley 300-400 fpe would get the thumbs up, but a 10mm 135 grain anything bullet exceeding 700fpe would not. Even if it fragmented after only penetrating 6 of the FBIs magic 12 inch rule, after absorbing 700fpe, the BG is screwed, definetly messed up.
Kinetic energy is not a factor in wounding effectiveness and has only been marketed in the last few decades when the manufacturers needed a new edge. Thousands of people have been killed with cartridges and round balls transferring far less energy than today's modern cartridges and loads. Recall a time when the .30-30 Winchester making 2,000 fps absolutely shocked the entire shooting industry, as that was the fastest cartridge in existence at the time. So many elk fell DRT to the .30-30 Win yet today, with unchanged ballistics, it's rendered sub-par by a majority of the shooting community. There is so much ignorance in this industry it's quite amazing. I know a lot more about what things are than I say on the open forum, but professional responsibility necessitates my discretion. I just get a kick out of all the stuff on the gun forums. Very entertaining.

Totally disagree. I think children should be taught about the internet and internet safety (i.e. dos and don'ts, never give out information, don't talk to strangers, etc.) from as early as they seem ready. But with a LOT of parental guidance. I would never set an 8 year old free with, "Have fun, and don't google goatse!"

The GTX 970 (and 980) are a bit unique right now. They are using Nvidia's newer Maxwell architecture, and have much reduced power requirements over other high end video cards, and their fans often don't even turn on at all unless under heavy load. The specs page lists the system power requirements at 500w, but the card itself consumes around 145w. Yet their speed is considered current top of the line as far as single GPUs.
I just bought one, and it was a HUGE improvement over my old Radeon 7870 and the fan hasn't run unless I force it to. VERY quiet card with low power consumption and high performance. The 970 is also at a very nice price/performance spot right now. The 980 is faster but also around $200 more. It's not $200 faster, IMO, though...
No, I don't work for Nvidia, it's just a great card right now.

Not so much if you're the one being monitored. Personally, I don't think police should have a choice, considering the nature of their jobs. Unfortunately I think their unions would disagree, and I don't see the general public winning that fight. Sad, really...

I made basically the same antenna from your link, although I added a reflector about 1-2" behind it made out of cardboard covered with aluminum foil. It works great! Much better than the two store-bought "HDTV" antennas I tried before hand, and it was a lot cheaper to build.
I live in the Milwaukee suburbs and I get something like 15-25 channels depending on the day and the weather, all from inside my ground floor apartment. All in beautiful 1080i HD! Granted most of those are redundant channels with "local programming", but I do get ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and PBS, so all of the major sporting events are covered. However I do need to adjust my antenna angle or move it around sometimes - the signal is not always rock solid - so I do believe they probably have reduced the transmission power.
Add in Netflix, and my...resourcefulness...in accessing things that you just can't easily buy or stream, and I've been cable TV free for a couple of years now.

Not Just Dessert! It's been quite a few years since Katye & I have worked at Oxon Hill manor, one of our favorite venues in the area. Daniel & Jeff's wedding reminded us why, taking advantage of the rolling landscape by introducing bursts of yellow throughout. They topped it off with an incredible tasting menu (we love a non-commital taste this/taste that menu). The couple took the same approach to seating, table hopping for each course. Spread the love! Oh, and their cake...my goodness! (You all know how we feel about cake.) Easily one of the best we've had with a layer of unexpected crunchy hazelnut awesomeness! Thanks to Courtney from A Sweet Soiree for a seamless evening, and congrats to Jeff & Daniel!
A Sesquicentennial Being photojournalists, our goal is and always will be to tell stories through our pictures. This story of mine started when I was a little boy growing up in Hershey, PA. My family took me to Gettysburg regularly, and some of my greatest memories were shared with my best friends - Listening to ghost stories in the basement of the Farnsworth House as a kid, and biking the battlefield with Katye as an adult. Sure, I'll always remember bouncing off rocks and climbing steep slopes across the battlefield, but when I saw my great-great grandfather's name on the Pennsylvania Monument, that's when it all hit home. To this day, I return to that monument with an enormous amount of respect and awe, reminded of the fact that James Purcell participated in one of the defining moments in our nation's history. July 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of this year marked the 150th anniversary of the battle. I've said for years that, being a photographer, I'd have to do SOMETHING to document this. I was joined by my father-in-law, also a history buff, at 4:00 a.m. on July 3rd and despite my concerns (I have the tendency of losing people when I'm shooting, taking off at a brisk pace if I see a picture), Wes rarely was far behind. We endured through heavy traffic, a downpour, and the sun and heat that subsequently followed, walking across the field of Pickett's Charge ...
Summer in the City Summer wedding weather is always a guessing game, often right up to the last minute. We carry a prop umbrella at all times, hoping for an opportunity to stick our couples out in the rain, but in the case of Meghan & John, this wasn't really an option. We're talking deluge. Almost exactly when we were going to begin portraits. This smart couple built in extra time for portraits, so we were safe! But the good thing about being rained out is it forces us photogs to think fast! We tried a few lit photos indoors with that extra time, resulting in the photo above. It was all a breeze the rest of the day at the Park Hyatt in DC, which has this feeling of being on the edge of the city. A large patch of green across the street quiets down this pretty hotel venue, and makes for a nice portrait escape. Maybe it's just that the bride and groom were two delightfully composed participants - it put us at ease! Congrats guys!
Walking on Air... I can still remember my first pair of Air Jordans. Back in the day, they were THE shoes to own because Michael Jordan was completely money, and his sneaks were pretty cool. But, as the years progressed, my shoe choices changed, and I realized that I don't excel at basketball. But it was refreshing to see the Air Jordan make a comeback on Wendy & Joe's big day, as the groom, his guys, and even his bride-to-be, sported some snazzy sneakers. It was a day to reminisce about the past as well as celebrate the future of this cute couple, who were married in the incredibly unique and visually inspiring Epic Yoga Studio in DC. Enjoy our faves, and congrats to Wendy & Joe!
Cheers! Katye & I have heard a lot of toasts over the years. Hysterical, tear-jerking, touching, profound toasts. I wanted to start off Linda & Gavin's post by talking about one of those touching AND profound toasts, this one by the father of the bride. Linda's father quoted a passage from "The Importance of Living" by Lin Yutang, and the highly abridged excerpt went something like this... "In the selection of husbands for my daughters, I have only one standard: is he a reasonable person? We cannot imagine perfect husbands and wives who never quarrel; we can only conceive of reasonable husbands and wives who quarrel reasonably and then patch up reasonably." There's a whole lot more, of course, and I know I'm not doing the passage justice, but I just ... liked it. Maybe the old cliche' should be changed to "Eat, Drink, and Be Reasonable"? On that note - Cheers! Please enjoy just a handful of our favorites from Linda & Gavin's big day at The Lodge at Little Seneca Creek in Boyds, MD. Congrats to the Happy Couple!
The Light Fantastic! For our final pre-baby collaboration with phenom photog Eva Russo of Photoladylove, we spent the day with Gretchen & Brandon, starting off at the National Cathedral and partying at the Decatur House.

The Brier Patch Hey everyone. Meet the newest addition to the Brier family - Charlie. Charlie arrived here on his scheduled date of arrival, a feat only accomplished by 4 percent of babies, so right away we knew we were dealing with an individual who is on his game. Charlie has been welcomed into the family by his big brother Tate, and has received a cool reception from a non-plussed Buddy the dog. We've spent the past six weeks doing our own extended lifestyle/baby shoot. So here's a little break from Spring wedding mania, a glimpse of The Briers in their natural habitat!
MFEO HC readers who have seen Sleepless in Seattle too many times will know what MFEO is. Katye here ... and I am one of those Sleepless-loving people. MFEO - otherwise known as "made for each other" - is the 90's movie reference that comes to mind when I think of my friend Shannon and her new husband, Dusty. Shannon and I worked together at USA TODAY, and when we weren't editing video, we were talking about weddings. At this wedding, Joe and I got to be GUESTS. A special treat. Shannon and I had talked for ages about photographing her pre-ceremony excitement, but since I was four days away from my due date, Joe stepped in to spend time with the bridal party before the wedding. We are so happy for these two - Shannon is the most life-loving person I know, and I'm so grateful I was able to be a part of her wedding day. Enjoy this abbreviated "blog-let" of the bride and groom before their "I Do's"!
In the Press Club I've worked at the National Press Club in the past, shooting assignments for editorial clients, and have been inspired by wall after wall of amazing photography. Little inspiration was needed, though, for Robert & Jeffery's Press Club wedding, as warmth and abundant smiles were more than enough to make for a stellar afternoon. The second in a trio of collaborations with Eva Russo of Photoladylove, please enjoy a sample of our favorites! Congrats Robert & Jeffrey!
Chapter One ... Early April was riddled with question marks for The Happy Couple. With the arrival of our second baby expected any day, and Katye out of commission, we were very fortunate to have the first collaboration with our very talented friend and Syracuse classmate (go 'Cuse), Eva Russo of Photoladylove. Thank you Eva! Us SU alums always say, it's all about the Photo Love. Eva and I recently traveled out to Savannah and Patrick's Charlottesville wedding, which began right where the couple went to school - on the UVA campus. We moved onto the exquisite Farmington Country Club for their reception, where we had a little impromptu groomsmen photo shoot in the library. As you can see, Patrick and his guys were downright jocund (yes, that's right, I said 'jocund'). I'm sure some adult beverages helped, as Savannah & Patrick both passed around 'The Jug', a vessel for distributing what seemed to be a supremely delightful mint julep. I learned that it's a tradition to pass 'The Jug' from guest to guest at family gatherings. Quite a bit of fun, no? Congratulations Savannah and Patrick!

Government regulation's role in the mortgage market
Fannie, Freddie, FHA, VA, HAMP and HARP are just a few examples of the government's influence on the current mortgage market. Add in the Federal Reserve's efforts to keep mortgage rates low and you have a mortgage market that is currently dominated by government influence.
But is the U.S. mortgage market over-regulated or even perhaps under-regulated, and how do these regulations affect the cost and availability of mortgage loans? Does government influence make mortgages more expensive or harder for consumers to get?
To find out, we asked Mark A. Lane, Ph.D., associate professor of real estate and finance at Old Dominion University, to offer his thoughts on the role of government regulation in the residential mortgage market.
A: First, let me say that some level of regulation in the housing market is useful. However, it is important to strike a balance so that the amount of regulation doesn't place an unnecessary burden on the industry or distort market prices.A consistent challenge here is that lenders are typically much more financially sophisticated than borrowers. For most people, purchasing a single-family home is one of the largest purchases they will make during their lifetimes and, because they do it very infrequently, they are unlikely to become experts in this area.
Why government regulation is necessarySince the average consumer is not as financially sophisticated as their lender, they will have a harder time understanding everything in the very large stack of documents that accompanies the typical mortgage. So this opens borrowers up to the possibility of being taken advantage of in a transaction. A lender taking advantage of a borrower is often referred to as "predatory lending." The situation was so bad in the past that Congress enacted the "Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA)" in 1994 to combat some of the worst abuses.

UPDATED, July 11, 8:44 p.m.
While the world warns of an impending print collapse, it might take down an innocent bystander with it—those little black and white squares that have long inhabited the back pages of newspapers and made themselves the primary Sunday-afternoon obsession of crossword nerds, for whom completing a puzzle is a bragworthy accomplishment.
Yes, the meager crossword, its unnerving simplicity belying a capability to wrench you mad with clues that speak of everything and nothing at once, is moving toward becoming a relic of the past.
Binghamton University English professor Michael Sharp is tactful about its potential demise. "I'm not predicting the death of the crossword, just saying that there are significant hurdles that the crossword faces in coming decades," said Sharp, who writes the popular "Rex Parker Does the NYT Crossword Puzzle" under a pseudonym.
Crosswords are having quite the moment, despite hitting their 100th birthday late last year. Alan Connor, the British media personality, wrote a book released this week called, The Crossword Century: 100 Years of Witty Wordplay, Ingenious Puzzles, and Linguistic Mischief, tracing the history of crosswords and their cultural significance. Developed by a British-born inventor in the United States, Connor argues the crossword is at its heart American.* The puzzles themselves are still distinct from one another, depending which country you're in.
"British puzzles have more black squares, and the effect is not merely aesthetic—it means that the constructors can limit themselves to words found in a dictionary," Connor explained. "The words in American puzzles interlock far more often, which means that they end up including proper nouns: unlikely places, extraordinary people, and everything from inventions to fragments of phrases."
This construct has affected crosswords in two distinct, opposing ways: While significantly increasing the potential answers to a clue, the seemingly endless array of possibilities makes puzzles more complex—a quality that reflects the period of American excess in which crosswords came of age.
In the flapper era, crosswords inspired chic black-and-white clothes, Broadway revues, even church sermons. Their prevalence made crosswords the rock 'n roll of the 1920s—they were ubiquitous, either revered or reviled depending on whom you asked, with a 1924 London Times article gravely declaring the state of "An Enslaved America:"
"[The crossword] has grown from the pastime of a few ingenious idlers into a national institution: a menace because it is making devastating inroads on the working hours of every rank of society... [people were seen] cudgeling their brains for a four-letter word meaning 'molten rock' or a six-letter word meaning 'idler,' or what not: in trains and trams, or omnibuses, in subways, in private offices and counting-rooms, in factories and homes, and even—although as yet rarely—with hymnals for camouflage, in church."
America was obsessed. And this obsession drove the newspaper industry to adopt the crossword as a mainstay in its pages, making it the brainiac's game of choice—one that required mental gymnastics, luck, and determination.
American crossword builders have been instrumental in keeping the puzzle alive—and relevant—today. Will Shortz, the legendary editor of The New York Times' crossword column, has singlehandedly made crosswords sexy with pop culture references and slang that appeal to a modern audience. Shortz has famously included hip-hop references in his clues, and he's keen on selecting creative interns who help keep his column fresh. But having a wildly popular, imaginative genius behind the world's premier crossword isn't changing the fact, Connor says, that fewer people than ever before are crosswording. And just because crosswords are slowly losing their crotchety clues doesn't mean that solver demographics have changed, according to Sharp.
"I don't think you've had much of a change in terms of the audience the puzzle is pitched to," Sharp said. "Cluing is more democratic, but reliance on 'crosswordese' and the reality of a generally older, generally white audience means that the puzzle just gravitates that way."
Sharp, for his part, is suspicious of making crosswords more accessible, saying that just putting a puzzle on a mobile device "does nothing to the overall 'accessibility' of the puzzle." A print loyalist, he notes that demographics of newspaper readership dictate the content of the crossword puzzle and therefore, what segment of the population is interested in it. In fact, he predicts the average puzzle solver is a college-educated white woman in her sixties.

I think it is time I gave you all a break from the rugby for a while.
This past week end I had the job as stills photographer on a film set. Over the next week or so, I'll upload a photo essay about the experience. My brief was to shoot the film crew and actors as they went about their work with a view to illustrating the capabilities of the production company. I spent almost a full day with the crew as they worked on location and took about 300 images, 36 of which I presented to the production company for promotional use.
I'll start with this picture of two young extras. When I turned my lens on them they struck up this nice pose for me.

The pool was a relatively short walk from our building, which was very nice. But, when we got to the pool I was shocked to see that it was PACKED! We had a bit of trouble finding a couple of chairs, I commented to Mom that it had been easier to find a place to sit the last time we stayed at CSR and that was in July! This disappointed me as well, and had me nervous for the rest of the week......
When we finally found some chairs, we dropped our stuff and headed over to grab something to eat, we were both starving! I got the Siesta nachos and Mom had chicken strips & fries. We got bottles of water as our drink with our CS meal, but we saved them for later and filled our mugs to have with our lunch. The dessert options here leave a lot to be desired, you have your choice of a small pack of Oreo cookies or a bag of chips. We got the cookies and brought them home for the kids.
Finally settled, we began to eat our lunch and after the first few bites I realized that there was about a half inch of grease in the bottom of my plate - seems they don't use a strainer when putting on the meat - yuck! I ate what was on top and threw the rest away, sad that I had wasted a CS credit on that meal. See - I told you our trip didn't get off to the perfect start that I had envisioned!
It was also unseasonably hot and we were melting by this point, so into the pool we went - that made everything much better! It was very cool and refreshing. Then it was time to grab a frozen cocktail and relax. And, relax we did. I read my book, sipped my drink, and got into the water when I got too hot. I didn't take my camera to the pool, Mom did, but didn't take many pictures, here are a couple.
About 4:30 or so we decided to leave the pool and go back to the room to shower and get ready for dinner. I had been texting back and forth with Katie (kschafer) hoping that we would be able to meet up for a quick hello when she arrived. I sent her a text when we left the pool and apparently she had just been there - we barely missed each other!
When we got to the room we saw that our luggage had arrived, so we took a bit of time and unpacked, then hopped into the shower. I tried to take this pic of us in the mirror after we were all dressed up and ready to go - silly, I know!
We made our way to the front of the resort. I took this from the bridge on the way over
We then grabbed a cab to Animal Kingdom Lodge. It was totally worth the money to do this, just a $9 fare before tip and it was sooooo much faster than taking a bus to a park and then catching another bus to AKL! Soon we arrived, I just love this resort, it's so pretty! One day I will stay here!
We had some time before we had to check in, so we wandered around outside and watched some of the animals.
Then we went to check in for our dinner at Jiko
Very cool wine rack!
I was really excited for this meal, and it did not disappoint! You all are in for a treat too. If you've read my previous TRs, you know that I do not take food porn pics, but Mom encouraged me to do it, so I did! All of them were taken without a flash however, to avoid disturbing other diners, so some may be a bit dark.
I started off with a cocktail
Mmmmm, love Cosmos when they are made right, and this one was. So many places put too much cranberry juice in them, but they did not - it was perfect!
I forgot to take a picture of the bread, but it was very good as was the spread that it came with. I've completely forgotten what it was, but it was tasty! Mom and I both ordered the filet with mac & cheese - it was delish! I ate every last bite.
I tried to take a picture of the cool light fixtures they have that look like birds flying, but it kept coming out blurry - again, didn't want to use a flash!
For dessert we also had the same thing, pistachio crème brulee. It had a bit of chocolate in the bottom of the dish - yum, yum, yum! Not surprisingly, I ate every bite.
Our waitress was kind enough to take a picture of Mom & I together after our meal, then we rolled out of the restaurant. Stuffed and very satisfied!
Up Next: OMG! That guy was naked!

Love the update! I love the pool at the CSR (sorry it was crowded though). You and your mom look so pretty at your dinner at Jiko. I love the pic of your mom in front of the giraffe on the wall. We've got breakfast ADR's at Boma, and I want to find that wall and have my pic there...I love giraffes.

First, I gotta say, you and your mom are so pretty! I just think it is so wonderful when adult children do things like this with their parents. I lost my dad when I was 9 and my mom when I was 29. Although I was very close to her, we never traveled together and I wish we had. I plan on making it a priority with my two!
Ewww to the grease in the chips. That's just nasty.
The pool does look crowded. Almost like ours at spring break week.
Jiko looks really nice! John caught a glimpse of your food porn and was like "where's that???"

Love the picture of your Mom on the bench at Jambo!! I never, ever tire of seeing pictures of the lobby
You also got pictures of one of my favorite safari animals which is now apparently on the savanna....the bondebot? I think that is what they are called or something like that....I noticed them the last day when I was on the balcony at Kidani
So happy you enjoyed Jiko....isn't the sauce under the macaroni so good? Mmmmmm!! I had three filets that week and I am all mooed out

Great update. Sorry the CS was so bad, but at least you had a nice afternoon at the pool. I had trouble finding a seat there last June. It was hard because I was watching my 9 yo nephew and I couldn't find a seat that faced the pool. When I tried to take my mojito near the pool I was seriously reprimanded.
You dinner at Jiko looks lovely. That is on my list of must try places. Smart idea to take a cab. Love your mom's pretty blue skirt. You both look so nice!

Oh YAY! I am so glad you enjoyed Jiko's!!! Wasn't the decor in there amazing, I loved the birds too!! Darn if I don't get a photo next time! I am now wishing I had a Jiko ADR this summer!!!! Too many places to choose from! Maybe next time. You had some nerves b/c of your mom, I am sure -- wanting it to be a perfect trip for her. That can do it. Sometimes we worry about everyone else and how much they enjoy themselves it is easy to get caught up in that. Your mom seems to be just enjoying herself being with you, that is the best part.

I would highly recommend Jiko, it was sooooo good.
Inside the pool wasn't too bad, there were alot more people on the other side where the slide is. There we just alot of people sitting in the chairs, much more than what were actually in the water.
You guys should try Jiko sometime if you haven't already, it was great!
The steak, the macaroni, the sauce, it was all good. At first I thought mac & cheese was an odd pairing with a steak, but once I tasted it that thought was gone. I'm typically not a big beef eater myself, but I had two steaks that week - I totally get being all mooed out!

Dinner at Jiko was really good, I was so glad we bit the bullet and reserved it. I contemplated not going there just because it's 2 credits, but it was worth it.
I probably was a little on edge wanting everything to go perfectly for Mom, and there was just so much I wanted her to get to see and do, ya know?

Based on the reports, one would think that at least something was typed in-game, but I can't see anything in the chat log.
If there is no chat log, that leads to an interesting case where someone has been punished based purely on report comments as opposed to evidence.
Sereg Anfaug
Wow, weird. I've had cases like this, but usually there are several games where the chat log is visible, so I can action it based on that. I wouldn't punish based on report comments... probably I'd skip the case and hope I was the only one who couldn't see it =P
Personally I'd note the number, skip it, and email it in because it's something messed up.

Organized crime trade in illegal timber responsible for up to 90% of tropical deforestation
Communication, Communication Design
ROME: Between 50 to 90 percent of logging in key tropical countries of the Amazon basin, Central Africa and South East Asia is being carried out by organized crime threatening efforts to combat climate change, deforestation, conserve wildlife and eradicate poverty. Globally, illegal logging now accounts for between 15 and 30 per cent of the overall trade, according to a new report from the UN Environment Program (UNEP) and INTERPOL. Forests worldwide bind Carbon Dioxide and store it – known as Green Carbon – and help mitigate climate change. However deforestation, largely of tropical rainforests, is responsible for an estimated 17 percent of all man-made emissions – 50 percent more than that from ships, aviation and land transport combined. The Rapid Response Report entitled "Green Carbon: Black Trade" says that the illegal trade, worth between US$30-100 billion annually, hampers the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) initiative – one of the principal tools for catalyzing positive environmental change, sustainable development, job creation and reducing emissions. With the increase in organized criminal activity, INTERPOL has also noted associated crimes such as murder, violence and atrocities against indigenous forest dwellers. The report concludes that without an internationally coordinated enforcement effort, illegal lo...

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Joakim Nordstrom got the first crack at it. Michal Handzus got a long look. Ben Smith saw some time, too. Brandon Saad and Brandon Bollig have taken their turns. And Brad Mills appeared to be the next in line before he was injured.
Replacing Michael Frolik has been a lot harder than the Blackhawks possibly could've expected.
"I read about it a little bit," Frolik said Saturday from his new home rink, the MTS Centre. "It's nice to hear that they miss me."
Of course, even Frolik said there's no guarantee the Hawks would've continued to have one of the best penalty-killing units in the league had he still been in Chicago, still teaming with Marcus Kruger — using his mix of speed and fearlessness to block shots, clog lanes and kill plays. But it's certainly more than just coincidence that the Hawks have dropped from third in the league last season (87.2 percent) to last this season (73.1 percent).
The Hawks managed what coach Joel Quenneville calls a "zero day" in the 5-1 rout Saturday of the Jets, but only because they were called for one penalty and were short-handed for 21 seconds.
The draft-day deal that sent Frolik to Winnipeg for two picks (a third-rounder and a fifth-rounder) left a void alongside Kruger that the Hawks have yet to fill.
"It's been an area of concern right from the outset of our season," Quenneville said. "We felt that just the way [Frolik] grabbed it last year — after not getting that chance for a couple of years, then all of a sudden he just took off with it. We felt it's there for somebody [else] to grab, and it's still a work in progress for us."
Kruger had played on a line with Frolik in the 2011-12 season before Quenneville took a flyer on them becoming a top-flight penalty-killing tandem during last season's five-day training camp. This year, Kruger's trying to build that kind of on-ice relationship on the fly, with nearly half the forwards on the roster rotating in and out of Frolik's old spot. It hasn't been easy.
"That chemistry we had last year is hard to find," Kruger said. "But we have a long year here, and I'm sure we're going to sort it out. Maybe the PK hasn't been what we want it to be, but we still have been winning games, and that's more important. If we just can step that up, we're going to be successful in the future."
Frolik was the best Jet on the ice, embracing the more offensive role he has been given. He had an assist on the Jets' lone goal, blocked three shots and created several good chances in his 16:30 of ice time — nearly double what he often got on the Hawks' fourth line.
Frolik's first game against his old team was overshadowed by Jonathan Toews' first game against his boyhood team. But Frolik still deemed it a special game against a group of guys with whom he'll have a lifetime bond.
He had dinner Friday night with Marian Hossa and Michal Rozsival and was glad to see "the boys" again. The Jets have a game Monday against the Red Wings, so Frolik won't be able to join the Hawks on their trip to the White House (Dave Bolland of the Maple Leafs said he won't be able to fit it in his schedule, either).
"The memories are there, and they will be there for the rest of your life — with those guys, with those coaches and the management," Frolik said. "It's something special I will never forget."

Republican challenger Jim Oberweis believes U.S. Senator Dick durbin deserves scorn, not praise. He sees Durbin's bullying of Walgreen's as only a stunt for political gain. According to Early & Often:
"Republican challenger Jim Oberweis moved Wednesday to trip up U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin's victory laps over Walgreens' decision to keep its headquarters in Illinois.
'Durbin deserves scorn, not praise for Walgreens' was the headline on the GOP candidate's statement bashing the three-term Democratic incumbent.
'The Walgreen's saga symbolizes Dick Durbin's 32-year career in Washington,' said Oberweis, a state senator. 'His bullying of Walgreen's was a political stunt designed to help only one person: Dick Durbin. It didn't create any jobs. It didn't reform our job-killing tax code.'"

"We had a wonderful time at the cabin. The fishing was really great! From crappie to walleye you name it we caught it. The cabin was very roomy. The really great thing that comes with the cabin is the fish cleaning house! We really put that to good use. We have been renting houses for 10 years and this one is one of the best for the buck! We will be returning."Guest: steve b. Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: August 9, 2014View listing

"At the last minute, my family needed a vacation spot and were lucky enough to find Hennepin House. We couldn't have been happier. Far exceeded our expectation. Was very clean, kitchen was well-stocked, even arrived to a bottle of wine, cheese and crackers and fruit. The lake was private and beautiful. We used the canoes, kayak, and floaties provided and just spent some quality family time relaxing and enjoying the lake. Our kids and nieces and nephew (ages 10-15) loved it too, as well as my parents who also joined us. Perfect for a multi-generational weekend! Hope to stay there again and maybe bring my girlfriends for a fall weekend getaway. :)"Guest: Sarahsmile33 Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 20, 2014View listing
