Hillman-Alcona games called early due to weather
HILLMAN-If there's one positive the Hillman and Alcona softball teams can take away from Tuesday, it's that they were able to get outside and get a new season underway, if only for a little while.
The two sides managed to get three innings of play in before a light misty rain turned into a steady downpour and made the field unplayable, resulting in a 7-7 tie.
Athletic directors from both schools will talk to determine whether the game can be officially counted or if it will have to be made up along with the remainder of the scheduled doubleheader.
A triple from Kalen Tchorzynski in the bottom of the third inning accounted for the game's only hit and Tchorzynski was able to score on the play after a throwing error by Alcona to knot the game at seven.
Brice Kenyon then walked and got as far as third base before Alcona was able to end the inning.
Hillman coach Curt Tebo hoped to see more offense from his team was pleased with what he saw.
"I actually liked everything. The defense looked pretty good, we didn't hit too many balls, but it's too bad the weather (was) bad," Tebo said. "That's one thing I would've like to have seen, I was expecting us to come out and hit the ball, but oh well. It's the first game, we got a few innings in and it's nice to get outside again."
Hillman jumped out to a 5-0 after one inning thanks in part to five walks issued by Alcona's Kendra Cole. Kourtney Boldrey had an RBI on a bases-loaded walk and Kenyon added an RBI groundout.
Jensen Tchorzynski struck out the side for Hillman in the first inning and cruised through the first two innings before Alcona struck back with a seven-run third inning. While Tchorzynski issued six walks, Alcona was able to take advantage of some passed balls as it sent 10 batters to the plate. Cole and Marisa Hirschfelt each had an RBI after bases-loaded walks.
While Cole struggled early to find the strike zone, she gained momentum in the last two innings and earned several strikeouts, including one on Jensen Tchorzynski for what proved to be the final out.
"She held her own, she got real focused. With any pitcher, in any circumstance, they have to get in the zone to be successful and that's what she did," Alcona coach Ashlie O'Connor said She came back, she came back ready to pitch and she came out fierce."
With conditions being what they were on Tuesday, both coaches said it was important to focus on fundamentals in preparation for the long grind of a season ahead.
"It was good to get one under our belt. Each day starts with objectives and we understand that fundamentals will win games," O'Connor said. "It's good to see that we're playing together, this is our third or fourth time outside this year, so it's nice to get to experience."
Alcona will host Mio on Thursday while Hillman will host Johannesburg-Lewiston.

6 steps. Full strike. Nice luster.
Ron Guth: The 1970-S Nickel is scarce with Full Steps, but this date is nowhere near as rare as many of the dates of the mid-1960s to early 1970's, where the population of PCGS-graded examples is either extremely low or non-existent. The finest examples certified by PCGS are a pair of MS66FS gems.

Tyler murder trial to begin Monday
Hillary Tyler will go on trial for murder this week, nearly a year and a half after she was first arrested in the case.
Tyler, 32, of Mulhall, Okla., has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of her newborn baby.
Her trial begins Monday.
Tyler has been in jail on $1 million bond since she was charged with the crime in September 2011.
On Sept. 20, 2011, Tyler allegedly killed the baby boy after giving birth in a room at the Super 8, 3755 Fifth Ave. S.
Fort Dodge police responded to the motel after getting a call from an employee. When officers arrived, they found the newborn's body and determined he did not die from natural causes.
Tyler, who was reportedly staying at the motel while in town for temporary work, was not at the Super 8 when police arrived, though they eventually located her.
She was charged with first-degree murder on Sept. 22 following a brief stay at Trinity Regional Medical Center for undisclosed medical reasons.
Tyler pleaded not guilty on Oct. 5, 2011, and demanded a speedy trial, which was originally scheduled for Dec. 6, 2011.
However, in mid-November, the trial was moved to April 10, 2012, following a request by Tyler's attorney, Charles Kenville.
The trial was then moved back two more times; once to July 31, 2012, and finally to Monday.
First-degree murder is a Class A felony, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.

The Slide Rule
12 Jan 17
What is The Slide Rule? The Slide Rule has been designed to dramatically simplify the identification of the best companies in the UK small/mid-cap sector by making a quantitative assessment of the relative potential of each company. At its core, The Slide Rule aims to identify those companies that create genuine shareholder value through strong returns on capital and solid growth, but also present a value opportunity with the potential tailwind of earnings momentum. Companies are assessed within a Quality, Value, Growth and Momentum (QVGM) framework.

N+1 Singer - Small-cap quantitative research - Momentum screen refresh + 10 focus stocks
12 Jan 17
We have refreshed our momentum style screen for the first time since inception on 26 July 2016. As before, the screen selects the 25 stocks exhibiting the most extreme momentum characteristics, according to our measurement method. From these we have selected 10 to focus on. Since inception the screen has underperformed both the main small-cap and micro-cap indices against a background of generally rising momentum. We have noted a subset of the basket, where decelerating momentum at the time of measurement appears correlated with significant share price falls since selection. We shall monitor this factor with the new screen, albeit there are only two such stocks showing this pattern, namely Lamprell (not rated) and Gear4music (not rated).
23% profit growth in FY16 and a positive outlook in FY17 and FY18
18 Jan 17
FY16 results show a strong performance with 9.3% increase in revenue to £267.0m leading to a 23% increase in profitability as adj PBT increased to £40.2m (FY15 £32.8m). The 220bp improvement in gross margin underpinned the increase in profitability as legacy low margin projects continued to fall out of the mix. The 20.2% gross margin was ahead of the 19.5% forecast and in line with Group's target of generating a through the cycle 20% margin. The forward sale announcements of five developments since the year end provide an increasing level of visibility on both FY17 and FY18, we estimate c. 70% of FY17 gross profit is currently derived from forward sold projects. The announcement on Duncan Road Stratford means the forward sold pipeline is already building into FY19. Current valuation does not reflect the forecast certainty with the shares trading on 9.0x FY17 earnings and yielding a prospective 5.1%.

As the birthplace of Stephenson, Armstrong and Swan, the North East of England has a proud history of industrial and technological innovation. Despite local economic challenges, the region's industrial heritage lives on through continuing success in high end engineering and technology. The recent takeovers of private equity backed SMD (subsea robotics) and Nomad Digital (wi-fi on the railways) are testament to this. The North East has also emerged as a leader in genetics and genomics with an enviable life sciences and healthcare infrastructure. Against this backdrop, we expect the region to continue to throw up attractive IPO candidates to build on the six new listings in the past three years. We expect 2017 to be far kinder to the existing portfolio of North East plcs than 2016 (a year to forget) with recent management changes one important theme for the new year. Our top picks are Hargreaves Services, Quantum Pharma and Zytronic (all N+1 Singer Corporate clients) and we are Buyers of Northgate and Grainger.

As anticipated, the second half has again been stronger than H1 and results will be broadly in line with expectations. In line with this, the order book has continued to grow and is at record levels. This confirms that significant progress has been made in the Group's shift towards its Technology Products division which, as targeted, contributed c.60% of group revenue in FY16. The small acquisition of Cable Power also gives a complementary boost to the product range. It is also worth noting the significant reduction in net debt, £1.0m ahead of our forecast. We remain supportive of the Group's strategy and continue to see a bright future as this transition towards a design led technology solutions business continues. We look forward to more detail in March at the final results.

Use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring versus traditional self-monitoring of blood glucose levels improves glycaemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes
- Biobehavioral Health Sciences, University of Illinois, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Biobehavioral Health Sciences, University of Illinois, 845 South Damen M/C 802, Chicago, IL 60612, USA; fritschi{at}uic.edu
Implications for nursing practice and research
■ Use of real-time continuous blood glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) as part of treatment of type 1 diabetes results in decreased HbA1c levels when compared with self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG).
■ The improvement in glycaemic control with RT-CGM use was especially pronounced in patients with poorer glycaemic control and in those who used the technology more frequently.
■ Use of RT-CGM may decrease exposure to hypoglycaemia in some patients.
■ This model is able to predict cost-effectiveness of RT-CGM in the clinical setting based on glycaemic control, sensor usage and age of patient.
In patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), tight glycaemic control is associated with profound reductions in risks for …

The city of Grand Rapids, Mich. continues to deny the Acton Institute application for property tax-exemption, even as Acton presents evidence to support such status.
The Acton Institute, recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and ranked #11 in the world as a social policy think tank by the University of Pennsylvania, received notice from City Assessor Scott Engerson that it did not meet the criteria for tax-exempt status for property tax purposes.
Most people think that if they're a tax-exempt 501(c)3 they're exempt from property tax, and that's not the case in Michigan," he said. "In regard to Acton, it's the charitable piece that the city was not able to definitively conclude."
Acton is one of 435 organizations appealing the city's ruling regarding tax-exemption this month alone. Today, Acton made its appeal. (more…)

Home Building Construction on the Rise
Home-builder confidence in the United States is up to a five year high. Sales of new homes are expected to strengthen this year across the nation.
Locally you might have noticed a steady trend of large construction projects throughout Southern Oregon. Adroit Construction now has work continuing on a dorm on the Southern Oregon University campus, as well as downtown at the Lithia headquarters. CEO Bob Mayers says optimism on the construction in the home market is also reflected in the larger projects as well.
Mayers says when home interest rates fall, the same is for commercial projects which allow business owners to refinance and infuse more money into their business.

Mother of three shares five simple tips to showcase kids� creative projects
With three boys under age 7, Heather Mann may be short on time, but one thing she isn�t lacking is kids� artwork.
�Since my older two boys are in school, they each bring home two or three pieces of art per day,� says Mann, 35, of Salem, Ore. �In addition, we make art and crafts at home, so we are looking at a lot of children�s art.�
Mann has plenty of ideas for using her kids� avalanche of creative projects. Her favorite is a custom gallery hanger she made by personalizing an old wooden pants hanger. �It�s easy enough for anyone to do, but chic enough to fit in with any decor, and you can switch artwork out whenever you want,� she says.
Here are more ways to display or share your child�s masterpieces.
Fasten a corkboard border around your child�s bedroom, the kitchen or the mudroom walls and attach your child�s art to it.
Use clothespins to attach artwork to ribbon or picture wire strung above kitchen windows.
Enroll grandparents and other loved ones into your own �Art of the Month Club,� and share a new piece each month.
Use large paintings as one-of-a-kind gift wrap or book covers. Turn small pieces into stationery, cutting the pictures into different shapes and gluing them mosaic-style onto plain cardstock.
Scan artwork into your computer and create a public gallery for relatives to view.

Spar Café
The Oly Mountain Boys
8 p.m.
21 and over after 10 p.m.
The Oly Mountain Boys
The Oly Mountain Boys began in 2008, playing the traditional music of Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers with reckless abandon. This music is still the backbone of the band's repertoire. Over the last two-plus years, however, they have incorporated a strong core of original bluegrass material, some of a traditional bent and others drawing liberally from folk-rock and Americana. Either way, the band combines bluegrass picking prowess and tight, three-part vocal harmonies, bringing a youthful vitality to one of America's original musical forms. The Oly Mountain Boys have performed everywhere from Pumpkin Fests and Farmers Markets, weddings and bluegrass festivals, to the smoke-filled, country-fried Grand Oly Opry, the Woodstock-styled Olympia Barter Faire, and many crowded, late-night bars. The band believes that the appeal of Bill Monroe and his music knows no bounds.
The Oly Mountain Boys released their first CD, The Oly Mountain Boys, in July 2010. The CD contains 12 songs, including seven original compositions, four traditional numbers, and a bluegrass adaptation of Neil Young's "Sugar Mountain."
CHRIS RUTLEDGE plays guitar and provides vocals. Although Chris hails from a blues and rock tradition, he has taken up bluegrass with a vengeance in the Oly Mountain Boys. Chris is from Shelton, WA and currently resides in Olympia.
TYE MENSER, on banjo and lead vocals, was born in Southern California but likes to point out (for bluegrass credibility) that his parents and entire extended family are from Western Kentucky. Tye learned to play bluegrass in Fairbanks, Alaska nearly a decade ago. Tye currently resides in Olympia and also provides electric banjo for the outlaw-country band Rodeo Kill.
DEREK McSWAIN grew up in Olympia, studied mandolin for a number of years, but only recently joined performing bands, formerly playing with the Bluegrass Renegades and now the Oly Mountain Boys. Derek's smooth, versatile, and improvisational mandolin style is one of the linchpins of the band's sound. Derek resides in Lacey, WA and also sings baritone harmonies.
PHIL POST, on bass, Dobro, and vocals, is the only member with bona fide Southern heritage, growing up in the Ozark Mountains in Missouri. Phil's distinctive high tenor singing gives the band its "high, lonesome" edge. Phil's musical journey began singing for a Springfield, MO church choir. He moved to the Pacific Northwest many years ago, studying jazz and composition, and has played number of instruments in a variety of regional bands through the years, currently bass with the Erev Ravs (klezmer) and pedal-steel with the Tilted Stilts (alt-country). Phil resides in Olympia.
JOSH GRICE was raised near Milwaukee, WI and moved to Olympia to work and stare at the mountains. He stumbled into a bluegrass jam in early 2009 and soon wound up a member of the Oly Mountain Boys. His bluegrass inspirations began with his dad's bluegrass treasury albums and extend to modern pickers like Bela Fleck and Chris Thile, and fiddlers like Jason Carter and Casey Driessen. He keeps his fingers limber by playing "violin" with the Olympia Symphony Orchestra.

Students in the TNDY Big Data Analytics course listen to Professor Brian Hilton describe GIS analytics.
Each Tuesday afternoon, 16 students representing eight different programs at CGU and four students from other Claremont schools grapple with issues around big data and what it means for research and inquiry. TNDY 405I: Data Analytical Tools, Technologies, and Applications Across the Disciplines, taught by Brian Hilton (CISAT) and Hovig Tchalian (Drucker), provides students with a deep introduction to different analytical tools, experience using the tools to gather and analyze data, and a lens on structured and unstructured sources of data. They also address how to manage big data projects and big data analytics research. Together, these approaches give students a holistic perspective on Big Data.
TNDY 405I covers the basics of Big Data, static and dynamic data, geospatial analysis, data and text mining, sentiment analysis, and visualization. Students use tools such as the Microsoft Big Data Platform Azure and it's Hadoop cluster HDInsight, ArcGIS, and Tableau during class, and can draw on these for their final projects. Alongside these tools and methods of analysis, students confront the changing nature of inquiry resulting from Big Data. Early in the semester, discussions about Big Data as a source led to a discussion of what this means for Psychology research, a field used to sampling a population in its studies. Given sensitive demographic data that can be captured in this environment, students debated how to protect individuals and consider issues of privacy in this data environment. "The nature of data is changing," Tchalian said. "Big Data allows you to see relationships not seen in a population sample. It requires you to ask other types of research questions."
Through case studies, students learn how companies are using Big Data. Recently, students examined Volkswagen's use of Big Data. Volkswagen opened a Big Data Lab in Munich in the autumn of 2014, and is using research from this lab for predictive marketing, data analysis about its networked vehicles, and other business strategies. Yet the strong privacy movements in Germany require Volkswagen to balance the value of their research with protection of customer data. From such case studies, students can translate real-world applications of Big Data analytics to their own projects.
One of the expectations Hilton and Tchalian have for students is to move beyond approaching Big Data in terms of collection and analysis to consider the applications and interpretations of Big Data. In turn, they are developing responsible, thoughtful researchers who will use this data environment to examine real-world problems and develop solutions. Hilton said, "Our hope for students is that they learn more about Big Data, that they understand that the paradigm for doing research is changing, and that they take a more holistic view of Big Data."

Our Sustainable, USDA-Certified Organic Beeswax is sourced from established Bee Farmers who meet our stringent social, environmental and economic requirements.
We purchase our USDA Organic Beeswax from well-established bee farmers, who are often the third or fourth-generation in the trade and have learned from decades of hands-on experience. Their livelihood is dependent on the ethical and humane collection of crude wax and honey. These farmers take pride in providing a high quality, consistent products year after year, without endangering bees or other wildlife.
The collection of our Organic Beeswax takes place in organized apiaries, or out in the wild – where collectors do their best to ensure the bees are well cared for. By constantly monitoring the hives, farmers can make certain the bees are healthy and well fed throughout the year, especially during times of drought or frost. Many of our bee farmers use wooden hives, which are hung from trees, so wild animals cannot disturb them.
In addition, the majority of our bee farmers contribute to ongoing government and university-funded research. This crucial research is intended to develop better ways to handle bees, and keep them safe in their natural habitat.
Organic Beeswax is a naturally sustainable product from Mother Nature. It is up to us to protect bees, so that they will continue to pollinate and produce high quality Organic Beeswax for generations to come.

Delicious smelling natural lip balm
Posted by 4838723273390940744 on May 11, 2016
My favourite lip balm, hands-down. Discovered it here at iherb when I bought some of the Sierra Bees hand cream, and I just keep buying more. I've only given 4 stars because in the winter, which is not terribly cold here in Israel, the lip balm (all flavours) sort of developed a slighty "crumbly" feel, like it had congealed due to the cold. Now that the weather is warm again, it's back to its previous smooth texture. I'm surprised nobody else has commented on this, because I imagine it would have been worse in a colder climate. The texture change never interfered with use, as it warms up on contact with skin. And it didn't stop me from using it because I wouldn't go back to using anything else.
Really good
Posted by potiholic on Apr 04, 2016
Sieerra Bees lip balms are really really good and cheap, i love them. This one, pomegranate flavoured, is sweet and fruity. I like it very much, but i prefer cocoa balm because is more nourishing.

After recently being a schmuck and breaking the knob off of a late 60's Yixing pot, I tried my hand at doing a little DIY teaware repair. To my surprise, the repair worked rather well. To my even greater surprise, my friends were impressed enough with my fix that they asked me to repair some of their pots for them.
So now, I am happy to announce four poor wounded yixing soldiers have now been put back into service. I have been using JB Weld Marine epoxy to glue these pots back together- it's non-toxic, waterproof, safe up to 500 degrees F, and is much stronger than super glue. My only complaint is that the epoxy dries an ugly battleship gray- I'm looking into a clear version now though, so perhaps I'll be switching. Here are some photos of the repairs, but keep in mind that I purposely tried to highlight the cracks with lighting and a macro lens. In person, they aren't as noticeable unless you get real close and squint:
My original attempt a fixing the knob I broke off while trying to enlarge the knob hole- doahhh!

Here are two lovely pots donated to 'Tingjunkie's Yixing Hospital for the Cracked' by my friend Kingston- an 80's Hong Ni Shui Pin, and a 90's Quing Shui Ni reproduction piece.

And my best work yet (if I do say so myself). A Taiwanese pot belonging to a friend whose handle broke off in two pieces. In person, you have to stare real hard to see that this was ever broken at all.

For future repairs, I'm also looking into waterproof, non-toxic gold paint to rub into the cracks for that authentic repair look. Not sure if it exists, but I'll find out.
And since I had my camera out, I decided to take a family photo just for fun.

My masters thesis in Yixing repair is sitting on my table now- a thin walled hong ni shui pin that's currently in 9 pieces. I am planning on documenting the process on that one and will post it here for those interested. I estimate the repair will take at least 9 days, so don't look for the "how to" too soon.

The easiest way to reduce it is to sauce farther out.

My starter is 100% hydration. I agree that maybe going down to 10% starter may be a good thing to try. I will try to sauce out to the edge more as well. My sauce definitely gets a lot lighter at the edge. Thanks for everyone's advice!


text: Yesterday I had the great honor and pleasure of sitting in on a class that was being led by a immensely genius man; Doug Solomon. The school was lucky to have a connection to his employer, IDEO, a company that deals in creating innovative solutions for companies. In Cogswell's Entrepreneurial marketing class students work on marketing plans for their ventures while being instructed in marketing strategy for start-ups. They bring in a guest speaker each week to discuss real life topics. Doug graciously decided to come to the school and give a talk about innovation for new ventures to the Marketing class. The information that he provided on the creative process and the steps that are required to really understand the product, service or content for a client was by far some of the best I have ever heard. I was not alone in my opinion of Mr. Solomon, the students and faculty had many questions for him through his talk and soaked up his answers like it was distilled success. I think I speak for everyone who was there that we look forward to trying to get Doug back for another talk sometime soon.

Episode 391: Irena Knezevic
February 25, 2013 · Print This Article
This week: Duncan and Claudine talk to Chicago-based artist Irena Knezevic, whose show "Night of the World" at Alderman Exhibitions closed earlier this month. They discuss Knezevic's background as a math genius and her involvement in the student activist movements in Serbia. There is some musing on the nature of evil. Artist Anna Shteynshleyger drops in and joins the conversation. Plus!! We hear live music by Irena and Joerg Becker, who perform selections from Knezevic's limited edition record "Sailors Sing Suicide Songs." Bourgeois notions of love are ridiculed. A good time is had by all.

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress
UPDATE TO Mrs. Flinger October 16, 2015
Because the Universe has a wicked sense of humor, after this delcaration, my blog threw up all over my last upgrade.
So I'm starting over using Craft. Turning 40 and kid entering Jr High next year, sometimes it's just time for a change. These archives will still exist in the way the last child goes off to college and their room is the same for 20 years, but it's just time to move forward.
When our stories merge and I remember that blogging is not futile. Jan 22, 2011
#Life#The Flinger Family#Working Mom
"WHY is Mommy wearing her scarf and coat and shoes? WHY?!" The question comes from my small man wrestling on the couch with his dad. It's one of his favorite games to play. "Wrestle with me, Daddy!" He's as joyful as he gets, rumbling around dictating points and I wins and no, that's a tie. As happy as he gets so long as we're all there, together, in the room. "Mommy is going to go finish up some work, Buddy." The answer send him screaming to the kitchen. "NO! I WANNA GO WIFF YOU! NO! I WANNA GO, TOO!"
It's been weeks now that I've kept this schedule, working while the children sleep, on weekends, after my other job. I've explained to the children that sometimes you have to work a lot. It's OK. It's not forever. Right now, we NEED Mommy to work. And I LIKE my work. I don't mind diving in to code on a Saturday morning sipping coffee and watching cars whiz by the window as people do their own weekends. I'm OK with this.
My son, he is not.
I sneak in moments while he is home sick with me I take ten minutes to play race car. I use a break to sit and eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with him. I rub his back while he goes down for a nap and I'm there as he opens his eyes three hours later oblivious to the tasks I've completed in that interval.
I emailed Amanda this question. "Just logging in [to work] as Buddy is having such a hard time with me not being around him. Do you think that's normal?" We are so similar in our work. Hell, we work TOGETHER and I'm sending gratitude for these coding jobs and she's sending gratitude for my working on them. It's a wonderful system. I appreciate getting the work and she appreciates the work getting done. In between we share our struggles as working moms with little people, goals we know we'd have if we didn't work and reassurances that we're not alone. No, no, I just had a melt down yesterday. And oh, yes, good, go work out. Balance. Support. Yes.
I pondered the futility of blogging just this morning. Ironically, I contemplate not blogging nearly always around upcoming blog conferences. I begin to wonder what the point is, everyone is so determined to make money on their own words and voice and I do not. I start thinking there is not room for ONE MORE THING as I pull myself away from my clinging preschooler. And then I read Amanda.
Her entry, "Not this minute" unglued me. THIS. Yes. This. While formulating my reply, clarity as shiny as crystal formed. I do not favor my son. I have patience with his clinging that I did not have with my daughter. I do not mind being the only person who can kiss his booboo and the only one who he wants to lay him down in bed. I don't mind that I am the center of his world, no. While my daughter was never a snuggler, so independent and pushing pushing to just go, walk, run, dance. She's as lovely as flowers and generous with her affection but she is independent, now wanting her own space and offering to help her brother get his teeth brushed or grab a class of milk. I see how the change happened, in only a year or two from needing to being. It is because of this knowledge that I cling to my son's dependance as much as he clings to me.
This will fade, change, mature. He will push me away one day and the thought wets my cheeks with salty tears almost immediately. My daughter will have kisses from boys and dance with other people and I barely know that reality. Nor do I want to.
These thoughts, swirling in a confusing pensive of work, bills, todo lists, unable to form actual words finally make sense as I read this. It's not just the words but the yes, ohmygod yes, I understand, I know, I am. Suddenly blogging is not futile at all. It is what my life finds security in: Friendships, understanding, sometimes clarity and knowledge.
One day my children will not beg for my attention, for my immediate participation. On that day I will look at this entry, I will re-read Amanda, I will call her and we will laugh and cry simultaneously because yes, remember that? Yes.
Why Three Year Olds Don't Blog Jan 20, 2011
#Life#The Flinger Family#Baby O
"Actually, I don't wear boobies right now because I'm a little kid. You wear boobies because you're a mommy. When I grow up and are a Mommy I will wear boobies, too, right? And OH LOOK my race cars just crashed that was funny. Whoever gets to the side of the closet first wines. Are you still getting dressed? Oh, you're wearing a red shirt like I am! Look I'm wearing red, too! Did you see? Now can you see? I'm wearing red, too! SEE? IT IS RED? DID YOU SEE IT? RED. RED. Oh, can we do pizza tonight. Now can you play race cars with me? Why are you still getting dressed. It takes FOR EVER TO GET DRESSED, hu. Why are you brushing your hair? I brush my hair, too. See? Now can we do race cars?"
My Mind Enema Jan 10, 2011
"Um, do you have sage?" I ask at Whole Foods. It seems logical that if one would need something to cleanse spirits, Whole Foods would have it.
You know: Hippies and all that.
"You mean for burning?" I clearly don't know what I'm talking about. I think you burn it. I'm not sure what I'm looking for but I've been told by at least four people to try a sage cleanse for our house so this year will be infinitely better than the last. Sage cleansing. I couldn't even bother to look it up before I go marching in to Whole Foods to buy it.
"Here you go," says the thin, purposefully unkempt girl working at the Yuppy-Hippie-Overpriced-Grocery-Store. She leaves and I'm faced with a decision; two small sage sticks or one large stick? "We need all the cleansing possible," I mutter and grab the biggest sage stick I can find.
It sounds cheesy, and it is, I'm sure. Sage cleansing our house? As if I believed in spirits and karma and life forces and such. Bah.
Except, ..... what if?
Mr. Flinger and I decided to try our very own Mind Enema this year. After two coincidental clicks pointed us to The Secret, the documentary, we watched with small cynicism and large wonder. "Well isn't THAT ridiculous," Mr. Flinger says at the close. "But, what the hell, right?"
Right. This is how we embrace our future. "What the hell!"
What the hell indeed.
So going forward, decided to think only positive thoughts. "Think about what you WANT not what you DO NOT want." This is my mantra.
"I will.. I am.. I shall… I have…" Not "I don't.. I won't… I refuse… I hope… I fear…"
It's such a subtle adjustment, such a tiny switch. The answers come quickly and quietly.
"I miss Yoga. I will find a new Yoga studio," I said during Kick Boxing a month ago. Two days ago a new friend informs me of the new Power Yoga studio down the street. It's amazing. It's perfect. My new friend and I hit it off on yet another level and I proudly add her to the list of people I'm thankful for.
The list is growing with my appreciation and joy.
"The Condo will close." I say it with confidence. I do not jinx it. I am not afraid to say it with pride. The Condo Will Close. The home we have been selling for nearly a year is ready to go to new hands. The home we brought our baby boy home to is ready for a new family. The home we first knew here so far from our friends, became a place of familiarity, friendly playdates, many holidays. It now goes to a new set of memories and we let it go. Friday: The Condo Will Close.
We celebrate.
The list goes on and on. We say things with confidence and power and love. We declare our lives as worthy and joyful. We tell our family they are loved and strong and beautiful. We work together, actively making goals reality.
"You're working so much." "You're always working." "It sucks you have to work so much." I've heard this from no less than 18 people in the past month. I'm working, working a lot. I'm fulfilling my full time job and a part time freelancer job on top of being a mother and a woman who strives to work out and find harmony. Harmony in the midst of chaos and deadlines and bills. Harmony and Joy.
I *am* working too much but I am thankful for it. Working too much right now is the appropriate solution. It's not forever, I tell my children. Mommy has to work a lot right now because we need it. Right now I am thankful to have venues to bring in money, to get our family in a new situation, to grow beyond the last year of turmoil. However much the world tries to get us down, I am thankful for the opportunity to prosper.
We are prospering. In spite of all the financial heart-ache, emotional frustrations, negative energy surrounding us: We. Are. Prospering.
I went for a run today. I looked up as the clouds parted for an entire twenty minutes. The sun spoke down to my skin with kisses and warmth. Joy. Happiness. Heaven.
How are we doing, you ask? We are fine. We are. Perfectly. Fine.
Who you should nominate for teh Bloggies. Jan 10, 2011
This time of year makes my skin itch. Mainly because the heat is always on and the air is so dry, but ALSO because the weblog awards come out about now and everyone gets all weird about it. Everyone says "those are SOOOO 2004." But let me tell you, I was in them (ok, one) in 2004, and I'm not proud to admit that I buckle under the pressure of a pretend award like the zipper of my jeans do on Thanksgiving.
That doesn't stop me from nominating you, though.
As "they" say, I hope it truly is just a joy to be nominated because you have been.
In no particular order, I will tell you who to nominate. Not only will you do so (waves hand as if using the force) but you will tell others to do so as well. (waves hand back)
Here, ladies and gentleman (one) is my predication for the final contestants of this year bloggies.
Photo Blog:
Clearly, Chookooloonks is a must. I've known Karen since 2004 when she first adopted her daughter, Alex. I love Karen's spirit and joy and positive nature. I fly to her like a moth to light. Sometimes she even hugs me.
Rachel Divine is another amazing photo blog. She shares tips on how to be great and lets us follow her life in Australia in one blog. Truly worthy of a look for everyone.
Mishi: Secret Agent Mama and Lotus photograph amazing stories and are pure and wonderful as the art they produce. Both are a must to add to your inspired list.
Best Writing
Please, please, read and nominate Amanda Magee at The Wink. She's profound, well spoken, and brings so much positive light to my day, I seek her out when I feel frustrated or down. She's truly someone who reminds you, in amazing voice, to be thankful for your life. She's funny as hell to boot.
You can't think of writing without thinking about Megan at Velveteen Mind. She's long winded in a poetic sort of sense. She won't write daily, but when she does, you'll sit down to read the entire.thing.
Do you remember those commercials, "If you love [over-priced well known fragrence], you'll love [enter awesome but less expensive smell here]"? I feel like that with Blythe. She's as funny as The Bloggess, as witty as Louis C K and more approachable than your best friend. She's that awesome. Also? She's my cyborg. (You'll have to ask her to explain that.) Without a doubt, Blythe Jewell deserves the humor nomination as well as your undivided attention.
New Blog
Someone who sort of just sprint in to the blogging scene with confidence and sparkle, for her writing and personality, is Jessica of Mamma's Gone City. She's adorable, her children are adorable, and she's taking New York City by storm. Entertaining and Sassy, Jessica is living the opposite Pioneer Woman as she dives in to city living from her suburban home.
Hey Laura What started this year as well. It's a wonderful resource for whole foodie types, hippies, family people, and smart people in general. Laura researches everything applicable to every question she receives giving advice on things from amber teething rings to making the best damn soup ever. Go ahead, research on her site, ask her anything you want, and be amazed at the wisdom that flies back at you. No, seriously.
Best Kept Secret
A best kept secret is here in Seattle. Sizzle is a blogger's blogger. She's entertaining and thoughtful and engaging. It's almost like sitting at the coffee table with her. I swear she is talking DIRECTLY TO ME. Not you, no, well, maybe both of us. But her conversational style makes me think I talk to her every day. I wish I did.
The Spohrs are Multiplying is a fabulous journal about Heather and Mike and their new daughter Annabele. We watched in horror as their Maddie passed away and mourned with them as they leaned on the Internet for support. We loved them when they announced their pregnancy and we gave Annabele a high five in utero (ok, maybe that was just me.) Her writing draws us in but her family makes us stay. We love their humanism, we revel in their joy and we hope for their delight.
This category is easily the hardest one to narrow down so let me help you here. Lean close and listen carefully 'cause I'm only gonna say this once. .... Today.
Busy Mom is a long standing blog of awesome. Consistently funny, smart and honest in a down-to-earth way, you can't go wrong knowing Elizabeth. She's a strong person with a great family going through the tweens and teens and defining herself as the person between them all. We've been there through her parents' health troubles and watched her youngest grow from busy baby to busy school boy. You'll love Elizabeth from day one and you'll keep reading for five years. (If you're anything like me, that is.)
Lea (ahem) embraced motherhood with more passion than most people I've read. We know her as Lea, the girl who is dating Simon, but her blog has grown along with her home. Watching her family take form is part of what makes her a friend. She shares her life of being a working mom and living in California. Her blog is as homey as her personality and I love going there. It's like walking in to an old friend's house where she already knows how you take your coffee.
Ok, look, everyone reads Amalah, right? I'm sure you do. But? If you don't? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. Amy doesn't really NEED any sort of pimping at all but the thing about Amy is that it's been, Oh, I dunno, FOREVER, and she continues to be amazing. She's sort of what mommy blogging was before it was MOMMY BLOGGING OMG. Also? She's pregnant again and that makes me every sort of happy because she makes adorable babies and we're done growing human beings in our house. I'll just snuggle hers. No, that's not weird or anything.
Honestly, there's more. But my leg hair has grown about seven inches during the writing of this one post and my children are currently jumping off high things with sharp objects yelling "TARZAN" and I'm pretty sure I was just fired from work because I forgot to show up yesterday. Oh, wait, yesterday was Sunday? Great. I need that job.
Go forth and spread joy, people. Spread the joy, the nominations and if nothing else, recommend a few good reads. We can all use more distractions, if they're quality ones.
Like the Red Tent but without the tent or ancient rituals Jan 06, 2011
I've written about The Red Tent before. I loved this book about womanly camaraderie based in fictional ancient biblical times. It's the sort of book that makes a lady a feminist. You practically wanna shout to your random sisters-of-the-hood from across the street, "YOU GO HONEY! YOU CAN DO IT! WE FUCKING BLEED ONCE A MONTH AND STILL TACKLE THE WORLD!" Then you high five a million angels and she high fives them back. Lady angels, of course.
Or maybe that's just me and possibly Liz Lemon.
Consider this the eloquent transition from The Red Tent and 30Rock to how my friends ended up in a kitchen with our underwear on.
Some good friends of mine decided to do a weight-loss challenge together. A few of us gained a few pounds (cough seven) over the holiday and wanted to get back to our sleek, healthy selves but with some good ol' competition with money involved. Nothing strengthens friendship like placing money between it.
So we gathered together in the kitchen of my friend's house with a scale, a camera, and a tape measure. We stripped down to our "summer" selves, bathing suits, small tanks, bare tummies. We measured and weighed and posed.
It was a scene our children watched in both fascination and utter horror. "Our moms have LOST IT," I overheard one of the three year olds say. A six year old bent down, "You just figured this out?"
We laughed and jiggled and confessed. I noticed how often we would want to cut ourselves down while building the other ones up. Someone would disagree, "oh, no no, you're fine! You can do it!" and we would write down our stats and continue on, not a single judgement on the face of those in the room.
It was cathartic. We not only shared our insecurities, we showed them to each other, and the other girls? Didn't wince once.
The first step to healing is being open to your people about where you're at.
Afterward a friend texted me, "That was fun! Like Acid Rain!" We laughed about it, how insane we were to stand there in the kitchen, six women in our skivvies measuring and jiggling. At the same time, we all agree, it was fun in a way. Healing. Refreshing. Accepting. There's something about knowing you're accepted by other people to begin allowing you to accept yourself.
I love those ladies like sisters in a Red Tent. Women who you call to when your life is tough, when you feel fat and frustrated, when you hit financial rock bottom. These are my village of women and we proved to each other this week that there is no place we won't go together. Even in our underwear.
The Blogroll's death and resurrection. I guess you can say, my blogroll has a Jesus-ish quality. Jan 02, 2011
Blogrolls are IN. Blogrolls are contervesial! They're outdated! YOU SUCK 'cause I'M NOT LISTED.
List me and I'll list you?
I took my blogroll down several versions of design ago. I knew it was outdated. I knew some of my blogger friends moved to facebook only or ditched the online world completely. But I have to confess, I often forget to click and read, even for a minute, without your shiny faces, avatars, logos, whatever, over there smiling at me.
And yes, it's out of date. I took out a few links that were so old the internet declared them rusty. And I don't have some of my favorite people on there like Not a girl, not yet a wino and Mr. Lady and Overflowing brain and Momma's Gone City and Child's Play X2 and Sesame Ellis and Blythe and Sizzle Says or The Spohrs are Multiplying. No, I'll have to download some avatars and update that space with those URLs soon.
But I'm curious: In 2011, in the age of "THE BLOG IS OUT DATED", are blogrolls even more dead? If blogs are "mostly dead"? Or, maybe, will the pendulum come swinging back around to the time of friends promoting great writers they're privileged to bond with and share ideas with?
Or am I the only lazy bastard that needs a stepping point to launch myself in to the world that I love from my own space here and follow the path around the web that links from one great place to another?
FAIL BIG OR GO HOME Dec 29, 2010
I don't really "DO" New Year's Resolution, yanno? I see it as just one more thing to fail at by the third week, oh who am I kidding, the third day in to the New Year.
Oddly enough, my boss told me to embrace failing this year. "Try to fail more this year" he said.
Uh. Ok.
There's a theory to this and it sounded as eloquent as shit when he told it to me. I just can recollect that right now.
But I get the point: Don't be afraid to fail. You're not trying if you're not failing. You'll never know the limits if you don't push them too far.
And other such clichés.
(Like I said, it was eloquent as shit when he told it to me.)
So, I'd like to introduce a few things I'm going to fail at this year in list form because I like lists and you're too busy to read paragraphs anyway.
1. I will fail at being a marketing director: I will. I understand logic and coding and social media but I do not know marketing. Not yet anyway. But I will BE a marketing director. Or, rather, I *AM* a marketing director.
Let me 'splain. No, wait, I'll let Kevin Smith 'splain:
Remember that if an ass-hat like KevinSmith can succeed at something like film or life, then what the fuck is stopping YOU from doing the same.
2. I will fail at eating well and working out daily: If I don't plan on failing, I'll never plan on the day AFTER that fail. The day I decide I can either get back on that healthy horse or get down on myself for falling off of it in the first place.
3. I will fail at paying my bills on time: I'm setting up a five day late policy for our family. We're allowed five days. FIVE DAYS after the first and the fifteenth. Not twenty, not ten, not six. FIVE. In the mean time, I'll also plan on autopaying a few of those and have checks as a backup.
4. I will fail at being a perfect mother: Duh. But I'll remember that my kids love me and I'm still an amazing mom.
5. I will fail at being organized: And that's ok. It's not an excuse, it's a fact. Facts can change. Excuses can't.
6. I will fail at being a great friend all the time: So it's OK if someone fails to be mine.
7. I will fail at my freelance job: So I will not over promise and I will learn from my mistakes.
8. I will let my children fail, too: I will watch them explore, I will begin the process of letting the rope out inch by inch and I will hold them when they fall.
9. I will fail at my marriage: There will be days I try too hard or too little or talk too much or not enough or misread body language. So it's ok if my husband does, too.
10. I will fail at writing/blogging/social media: We can't all be Dooce or Ree or Jenny. And we shouldn't try. I will be myself and that will be enough this year.
2011, here's to you.
What are you going to fail at this year?
The Winner of the Freelancer EE LIcense Announced. Congrats @awsmsrc Dec 28, 2010
It was time, past time, to pick the winner of my "what super hero would you be" content for a Freelancer license.
To be fair, I did draw Laura's number first. But, as she confessed, she has no shortage of licenses, what with being married to the president and all, so I redrew. I'm thrilled THRILLED to announce a friend of mine in the EE community, Matt Robin won the license.
Way to go Random.ORG.
Thank you to everyone who played along. As a side note, I've decided my Super Hero power would be flight. I could fly to Paris for coffee and Rome for lunch and be home in time to grab the kids from school.
I'd be a bird. How did I never think of that until now?
(Which, I guess is more of an animal than a super power, but I'd be the bestest super human bird EVER. I'd build really cool nests made of organic materials. Yaknow, LIKE ALL BIRDS DO. Oh shut up.)
(Doesn't that sort of beg the question: what animal would you be?)
How do we not have a cure for RSV yet? Dec 27, 2010
When my son was a preemie, we were told RSV IS THE DEVIL.
I was a paranoid, germ-a-phobe literally walking around making people Purrell before they could LOOK at the baby. If I had face masks, I would've made you wear them.
No, I'm serious.
Now I'm much more relaxed with germs. "Bah! It's the floor! Whatever, just wipe off the gummy bear and eat it anyway."
My kids go to public schooling institutions. There's not a lot I can do to prevent illness anymore. I'm over the whole "baby in a bubble" thing.
But mothereff I need to revisit that.
We have The RSV. Most notably, *I* have The RSV. My son and I share hours of hacking while my daughter is recovering. It's estimated that RSV is the most common germ that causes lung and airway infections in infants and young children. Apparently I'm a big baby because dang, yo, this shit sucks.
Whiskey does not even cure it.
So excuse the hacking and snot-dripping while I briefly recount our Christmas.
Ready? :: cough ::
Christmas Eve was delciously amazing. Wonderful chicken, mash potatoes, stuffing: a real foodgasm. Vdog rocked dinner.
The gifts were even better.
We let the kids get up at 5:45 AM because we're sadist like that. Self sacrifice! FOR THE LOVE OF CHRISTMAS. The boy joyfully informed us that our house did not crash under Santa's weight (apparently there was some concern over Santa's recent weight gain).
The toys were played with, the packages were ripped and by 6:04 AM Christmas was over.
Like getting lucky. If you now what I mean. :: Elbow Elbow Nark Nark ::
*Passed out and everything if her new quilt*
Later in the day the gingerbread men were mutilated, the Wii was used for Man Bonding, and mass quantities of Spinach Dip and Chocolate Vodka was consumed. You know, the traditional Chocolate Vodka? Wait, it's not? Oh, but it should be. OHMAHGAWD.
Now the tree is raw like our nostrils after blowing. But we are thankful and happy to have such friends surrounding us, love abounding around us and a new year to look forward to. Here we go, folks. Twenty-Eleven. May you not suck half as bad. :: hack cough hack ::
I've been trying to tell you I love you Dec 21, 2010
I recently posted a photo. The title was, "Such a thin, small window separates us. Literally and Figuratively." I watched the homeless man wander on the sidewalk as I sipped a latte. I looked for him later to give him a few dollars but he had already left by the time I stepped out to find him.
It is in this spirit that several amazing people have entered our lives recently.
It's been a rough year. It's been a tough month. It's been a really hard few weeks.
We've been discussing our life a lot lately. We both feel that the culmination of events of the past six years have brought us to this point. There's a boiling point we've reached, a cliff, the end-of-a-sidewalk, if you will.
It's a bit like it's now or never. Change or fail.
The robbery was the last straw for us. At each turn we told each other things were looking up, we were going to be ok, everything was going to be fine. Every time we felt optimistic, life crashed on us. Hard.
The past week has been one of heart break. The finances, the insurance bills, the medical bills, changing locks and accounts and credit cards. But there's more to being robbed than the actual act itself and the corresponding physical consequences. It brings on an entire line of questioning about humanity. Why do we try to be optimistic? What kind of person steals from others? From children? Before Christmas?
At this precipice we lingered. We teetered on hope, rocked on doubt. Our tiny community we love so much, the people we've gathered close both physically and emotionally, the schools we hand picked for our children: Each of these came in to question. Did we really settle in the best home possible? Would these be the type of teens our kids could interact with?
And then the unimaginable happens. You happen.
Sizzle offers us a Wii. "I have one to give away and it needs to go to you and your children." She glows in an adorable knit hat the day we meet. She hugs the best type of "I've known you forever" hug. She smiles as waves away my thank yous.
Others come up and gift our holidays. Amanda, gifts us Amazon. (Yes, ALL OF AMAZON. Chick's got connections.)
Friends gather together, scheming, planning. Secretly they raise money without us even knowing.
And, on her very birthday party, intended to celebrate her life, my own best friend gifts to ME something amazing.
More than money, she gifts love, surprise, and joy.
And she videos the whole thing.** (new! Now Rated Oma Approved: Less Cussing)
This Christmas is one I will never forget. Not because of the robbery or the water heater or the stitches or the condo foreclosing. I will remember it because you loved us. From way out there, beyond the physical, you loved us.
Thank you for restoring humanity for me. For reminding me there is love and joy.
Especially at Christmas.
Mrs. Flinger

Ferguson Timeline: What's Happened So Far
The shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white police officer in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo., is under local and federal investigation and has sparked violent protests and looting. Here is a timeline of key events in the shooting's aftermath:
August 9
Michael Brown and a companion are confronted by an officer as they walk back to Mr. Brown's home from a convenience store. Mr. Brown and the officer are involved in some kind of scuffle, followed by gunshots. Mr. Brown dies at the scene.
August 10
At a news conference, police said the incident started when the officer was pushed into his car and assaulted by Mr. Brown, and they struggled for the officer's gun. One shot was fired inside the vehicle. After both men exited the vehicle, Mr. Brown was shot multiple times and died. After a candlelight vigil, people protesting Mr. Brown's death smash car windows and carry away armloads of looted goods from stores. In the first of several nights of violence, looters are seen making off with bags of food, toilet paper and alcohol. Some protesters stand atop police cars and taunt officers.
August 11
The Federal Bureau of Investigation opens an investigation into Mr. Brown's death, focusing on whether the civil rights of Mr. Brown were violated. St. Louis county police are also conducting an investigation into the shooting. Mr. Brown's family disputes the police account, and their lawyer states that Mr. Brown was "executed." That night, police in riot gear fire tear gas and rubber bullets to try to disperse a crowd.
Teens around the world started using the hashtag #IfTheyGunnedMeDown. The posts on Twitter and Instagram showed pictures of the teens in two different looks — often one smiling and one looking more tough, usually accompanied by the text that asked media which photo they would use if they were shot by police.
#IfTheyGunnedMeDown what picture would they use. pic.twitter.com/XmqO6zWTor — Gifty (@Gifty_Presenter) August 11, 2014
August 12
Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson cancels plans to release the name of the officer who shot Mr. Brown, citing death threats against the police department and City Hall. President Barack Obama pleaded for calm after two nights of clashes between police and protesters (Here's the transcript of Mr. Obama's remarks).
Nationwide, more people continued to join into the conversation on social media. Many black teens used the hashtag #HandsUpDontShoot and tweeted photos. This one, of Howard University students in Washington DC, spread quickly online.

August 13
Another night of violence wracks Ferguson, with some people lobbing Molotov cocktails and other objects at police, who respond with smoke bombs and tear gas. Two reporters were arrested in a McDonald's after police asked them to move out of the restaurant. Images of the standoff, showing police using armored vehicles and pointing assault rifles at the crowds, are widely shared on social media.
August 14
The Missouri Highway Patrol takes control of security in Ferguson, relieving local police of their law-enforcement authority after four days of violence. Within hours, the mood among protesters becomes lighter, even festive. The streets are filled with music, free food and even laughter. As many Americans turned to Twitter to follow events unfolding in Ferguson, Mo., some members of Congress — currently on August recess — tiptoed onto social media to weigh inas well.
August 15
Police identify the officer who shot Mr. Brown as Darren Wilson, a 28-year-old man who had patrolled the St. Louis suburbs for six years. Chief Jackson also releases documents and surveillance video, alleging that Mr. Brown was tied to a robbery at a convenience store shortly before he crossed paths with police. Hours later, Mr. Jackson holds another news conference in which he said Mr. Wilson wasn't aware of the robbery when he stopped Mr. Brown. The video draws anger from protesters. After nightfall, officers and the crowds clash again. Some people in the crowd storm into the same convenience store that Mr. Brown was accused of robbing and loot it.
August 16
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declares a state of emergency and imposes a curfewin Ferguson. The first night of the curfew ends with tear gas and seven arrests, after police in riot gear use armored vehicles to disperse defiant protesters who refused to leave.
August 17
Attorney General Eric Holder orders a federal medical examinerto perform another autopsy on Brown. The Justice Department decision comes at the request of the Brown family. A former New York City medical examiner conducting a private autopsy at the request of the family finds that Mr. Brown was struck by at least six bullets, including two to the head.
August 18
Gov. Nixon calls in the National Guard to help keep the peace, citing an influx of outsiders bent on inciting further unrest. Mr. Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, calls for the arrest of Mr. Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who shot and killed her son. Tensions flared at night as police confronted demonstrators here after hours of peaceful marching.
August 19
Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who helps lead the security effort now in Ferguson, says at a 2 a.m. press briefing that most peaceful protesters in the city should be applauded for their behavior. He also asks for their help in restricting future demonstrations to daylight hours to discourage relatively small numbers of criminals infiltrating their ranks at night. Later in the day, community members clean up and police in patrol uniforms saturate the streets where police clashed with demonstrators the night before. The only major change to the landscape is a brand-new steel fence surrounding the burned-out QuikTrip convenience store that has been at the center of protests and was the site of confrontation with police Aug. 18.
Police say at least two males were shot Monday night and there were 31 arrests. Police fired no bullets, Capt. Johnson says, and the shootings remain under investigation.
Protesters marched at night, defying law-enforcement officials' request to stay off the streets after dark.
August 20
A violent outburst from several dozen lingering demonstrators in the early hours of the morning marred what was otherwise a largely peaceful protest. Armored vehicles moved in quickly and ordered people to disperse. Capt. Johnson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol says officers were targeted with glass and plastic bottles the night before, and officers in full riot gear formed a three-block line to take over the street. A brief standoff just before 1 a.m. local time at McDonald's appeared to end when officers cleared a final block near the burned out Ferguson Market and Liquor store, the site of looting last week.
Attorney General Eric Holder arrives at Florissant Valley Community College in North St. Louis to begin meeting with community members and the family of teen Michael Brown as well as Federal Bureau of Investigation agents for a briefing on their probe of the police shooting. Justice Department officials are considering whether to open a "pattern and practice" investigation of the entire Ferguson Police Department. Mr. Holder personally pledged that there would be a "fair and independent" probe.
In an op-ed Au. 19 for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, he wrote: "We understand the need for an independent investigation, and we hope that the independence and thoroughness of our investigation will bring some measure of calm to the tensions in Ferguson."
St. Louis County prosecutors began a weekslong process of presenting evidence to a grand jury.
Wednesday night in this St. Louis suburb was calm and mostly quiet, officials said.
August 21
At a 2:15 a.m. briefing, officials say there were just six arrests the night before, compared with 47 the night of Aug. 19.
Missouri's governor, Jay Nixon, ordered the withdrawal of the National Guard troops.
Gov. Nixon says he won't remove St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch, who had received petitions signed by thousands asking him to step aside and had criticized the governor for not declaring his support vigorously enough. Organizers of the petition note a decision in 2000 by Mr. McCulloch not to charge officers in a police shooting that left two people dead. Some critics also point to the death of Mr. McCulloch's father, a St. Louis police officer who was killed by an armed suspect in 1964, as another reason he should step aside.
August 24
A few dozen people gather outside a bar in St. Louis to support Darren Wilson, the police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown set off a heated national discourse on race.
The White House confirms it will launch a review of the federal programs that have been supplying military equipment to local police.
At a rally at night in a St. Louis park, Mr. Brown's father, Michael Sr., tells the crowd: "Tomorrow, all I want is peace while my son is being laid to rest."
August 25
Thousands of people fill Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis to remember Michael Brown. The service drew political dignitaries and prominent ministers from across the country, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.), who is from St. Louis. Several Obama administration officials attended, including Marlon Marshall, deputy director of the White House's office of public engagement and a St. Louis native who went to high school with Mr. Brown's mother. Civil rights activist and MSNBC Host Rev. Al Sharpton delivers the eulogy, saying, "Michael Brown does not want to be remembered for riots. He wants to be remembered as the one that made America deal with how we are going to police in the United States."

Here's how RW members rated this race (311 votes).
In short: Well organised - makes an ideal training runIn full: A well-organised event which provides an ideal pre-marathon training session. Very much a runners' event with no gimmicks but adequate parking, a very scenic course and helpful marshalling makes the 21 miles go by surprisingly easily. The 9 + 6 + 6 mile laps format helps chunk the distance up nicely. Good and supportive atmosphere on the course from the other runners.Date of review: March 26, 2012
In short: Friendly - Well Organised - What gives running a good name!In full: Excellent organisation is just what you want to start with and this race has it. From the coffee lady in the band hall (my thanks for a lovely mug), the race marshall, the course marshals, drink station helpers to all the runners who seem to treat this race as something special. Respect was shown by all who ran to others, great encouragement by those who had finished to those finishing and whilst the hill at 14 & 20 miles is a tad challenging overall this race is one you want to come back to. Date of review: March 25, 2012
In short: Brilliantly organised, beautiful and challenging. Try it, you'll like it!In full: This is a perfect pre-London/Brighton/Paris training run. There's a nine mile loop followed by a 6 mile one (with the option to finish at 15 miles, which you can decide mid-race), which then repeats. I found this a real psychological plus that helped me get through the 21. Course was beautiful, marshals all smiling and encouraging, plenty of parking and facilities at start/finish, lots of support from other runners. A sunny day and a sunny atmosphere. Thumbs up to Mabac for a very smoothly run event, thank you.Date of review: March 25, 2012
In short: Excellent course with very friendly and encouraging marshals.In full: Tough distance but the format which finishes with two six-mile loops really helps keep motivation. There aren't many 21 mile races so this has definite PB potential! Lots of lovely scenery. Very well organised with plenty of water stations and jelly babies along the way. Overall, very enjoyable!Date of review: March 25, 2012
In short: Great value for money and testing courseIn full: A brilliant pre marathon race. Tough course, especially the hill at mile 20. Friendly marshalls, great support from runners that had already finished and a lovely low key atmosphere meant I could get training miles in without feeling pressured to produce a great time (which I didn't!). Thank you and see you next year.Date of review: March 25, 2012
In short: Lovely scenery, lovely weather and very friendlyIn full: A really enjoyable race, the scenery was lovely, the route was fairly undulating and the marshalls were helpful and friendly. It was also nice to have encouragement from the other runners! A good pre marathon run, and we couldn't have asked for better weather :)Date of review: March 25, 2012
In short: Friendly, fast and just fab !In full: Great organisation, very friendly, challenging...that hill between 20 and 21 miles..perfect pre-London run, loved it.Date of review: March 25, 2012
In short: Undulating value for moneyIn full: Suberb value for money, a great atmosphere and very friendly runners and marshals. Lovely undulating route which splits into nice bite size chunks. Great pace and perfect for pre marathon training. Thank you allDate of review: March 25, 2012

Now that the Obama administration has embarked on its second war (Libya, Syria) in which it is on the same side, funding and arming Islamic terrorist groups including al Qaeda, it's time to pull the plug on any so-called war on al Qaeda. CYA. via US official signals end to war against Al-Qaeda.
The United States must prepare for a time when it no longer is at war with Al-Qaeda and when sweeping legal powers ushered in after the September 11, 2001 attacks come to an end, the Pentagon's top lawyer said.
The address by Pentagon general counsel Jeh Johnson marked the first time a senior US official publicly raised the possibility of an end to the so-called "war on terror," launched by former president George W. Bush in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.
With the US military campaign against Al-Qaeda now entering its 12th year, "we must also ask ourselves: how will this conflict end?" Johnson said Thursday in remarks delivered at the Oxford Union in Britain.
The terror network, which is under steady pressure, eventually will become so weak that it would no longer will make sense to maintain a legal framework for all-out war, Johnson said, according to a text released by the Pentagon.
"I do believe that on the present course, there will come a tipping point — a tipping point at which so many of the leaders and operatives of Al-Qaeda and its affiliates have been killed or captured, and the group is no longer able to attempt or launch a strategic attack against the United States, such that Al-Qaeda as we know it, the organization that our Congress authorized the military to pursue in 2001, has been effectively destroyed," he said.
It would then fall to law enforcement and intelligence agencies to go after Al-Qaeda's remnants, said Johnson, a long-time political ally of President Barack Obama.
"At that point, we must be able to say to ourselves that our efforts should no longer be considered an 'armed conflict' against al Qaeda and its associated forces," he said.
Instead, the government would pursue "a counterterrorism effort against individuals who are the scattered remnants of al Qaeda, or are parts of groups unaffiliated with al Qaeda, for which the law enforcement and intelligence resources of our government are principally responsible, in cooperation with the international community — with our military assets available in reserve to address continuing and imminent terrorist threats."
Short for drone war. Honing their skills on al Qaeda to eventually use on Americans.

This year, as host of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the United States has pushed the forum to produce concrete, tangible results -- in a phrase, to "get stuff done." Over the past two weeks, San Francisco has hosted the Third APEC Senior Officials Meeting and Related Meetings (SOM 3), and California has truly demonstrated to APEC what it means to turn ideas into concrete results.
APEC delegates had the opportunity to see how Californians "get stuff done" in a variety of fields -- from alternative energy to women's economic inclusion, from disaster management to, of course, wine-making.
When the meetings kicked-off with a joint Transportation and Energy Ministerial Conference, ministers were invited to a showcase of alternative-energy vehicles. Highlights from the showcase included a hydrogen-powered garbage truck that uses methane from landfills to supply its hydrogen, an electric motorcycle, and a plethora of alternative-energy cars, which visiting officials were invited to test drive.
Delegates to the Women and the Economy Summit (WES) heard from some of the most powerful women in California, including Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, and Dorothy Attwood, Senior Vice President of Global Public Policy at Disney. Their success stories contributed to WES's message that economies can capitalize on the economic potential of their populations by increasing women's access to capital and markets, capacity and skills building, and leadership programs.
During the APEC Conference on Innovation, Trade and Technology, Alberto Savoia, Director of Engineering and "Innovation Agitator" at Google, addressed how to foster successful innovation. Meanwhile, senior disaster management officials visited Google's Disaster Management Office and toured Autodesk's showroom, where they saw a range of models constructed with 3-D design and engineering software and used to simulate how infrastructure reacts to a variety of different disasters and other stimuli, including the model of the Bay Bridge shown in the picture above.
When APEC senior officials met on Sunday at the end of the multi-faceted conference, APEC had already been imbued with the California spirit of "getting stuff done," with the officials rolling up their sleeves to make progress on the three themes of the host year: strengthening regional economic integration and expanding trade, encouraging environmentally sustainable growth, and promoting regulatory cooperation and convergence throughout the region.
Looking to the APEC Leaders' Week in November, we have taken steps toward creating a robust package of tangible results for President Obama and his counterparts to take home -- in no small part due to the catalyzing inspiration of the Bay Area's results-oriented spirit.

About the Author: Mignon Turner serves as a Cultural Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Yaounde, Cameroon.
The stars and stripes smiled proudly on the U.S. Embassy in Yaounde, Cameroon, on July 2 when over 400 guests, from Ministers of State to Heads of International Organizations, joined together to celebrate America's Independence Day. A medley of patriotic tunes lulled attendees down a royal blue carpet lined with an "America the Beautiful" paper show towards a formal welcome by Ambassador Janet Garvey. Once the greetings were received, guests were ushered onto the embassy lawn overlooking the Yaounde City Golf Course. As invitees mingled, embassy staff served American-inspired hors d'oeuvres under tents decorated with historic quotes from U.S. leaders.
The ceremony began with an official presentation of colors by the Marine Guard Unit, followed by a special musical surprise. The award-winning artist originally from Cameroon, Prince Eyango, rendered the American and Cameroonian national anthems. Best known for his hits in the 1980s and '90s, Prince Eyango still remains a musical legend on the radios throughout Cameroon. His presence honored America's birthday as well the partnership shared with Cameroon since the first diplomatic presence was created over 50 years ago.
Ambassador Garvey reflected on the values of patriotism. She began her speech by evoking the achievements of two patriots from her birthplace in Massachusetts, John Adams and John Hancock. She went on to define patriotism as the ability to transform "loyalty and commitment into concrete actions for the benefit of the country." The speech also observed America's historical setbacks towards a "more perfect union," and reminded Cameroonians that although there may be challenges, they should remember President Obama's words in Ghana that the United States stood beside them as a partner and a friend. The remarks concluded by asking Cameroonians to "…reflect on the future of the country and remember those who were instrumental in its formation."
The ceremony was a culmination of efforts led by Consular Officer Aaron Martz together with the help of the entire embassy community. The light showers throughout the evening were not enough to turn the crowd away, and many high-level guests remained until after sunset. This Fourth of July celebration granted another opportunity to celebrate the history of America as well as strengthen the partnership between the United States and Cameroon. The patriotic theme infused the entire historic occasion and left each guest with a greater hope for tomorrow.
