David and I were on a plane Tuesday when I glanced out the window and saw mountains. I had my usual reaction, being from relatively flat south central Texas, "Hey Cool! Look at the mountains." I am a bit of a mountain junkie. I am waiting to stand on my first "real" mountain. I have been to the Smokey Mountains, Big Bend, and of course the Texas Hill country. All are rugged and beautiful but they are not "real" mountains. I want towering cliffs, glaciers, snow capped peaks. The Rockies, the Andes, the Himalayas, the Alps. You know REAL mountains.

Busy Busy Weekend!
Whew I meant to up date the blog earlier this week but last several days have been crazy.
First I got hit by a stomach bug on Thanksgiving. About 2 o'clock my tummy suddenly cramped by 3:30 I was praying to the porcelain god for a quick death. David took over the cooking. At 5 I managed to make it to the dinner table but I couldn't eat. By dessert I was done for the day. Friday passed in a blur, mostly I slept although I did manage to wake up long enough to spill Gatorade in the piano. By dinner time Friday I was feeling better and was hungry, very hungry. I ate my thanksgiving dinner a day late but it was yummy all the same. David is a very good cook!
Saturday after the Yamaha music repairman finished mopping up the Gatorade, David and I went to the opening of the Ken Pattern art exhibition at Galeri Hadiprana. Ken Pattern is an amazing artist here in Jakarta. He is Canadian but resides here part of the year. He is best know for his stone lithographs that capture the extreme contrasts between modern life and the traditional life in the kampung areas. He also creates stunning acrylics. We enjoyed seeing his new works as they were revealed to the public for the first time.
After lunch at our favorite Chinese restaurant Din Tai Fung and headed for the grocery store but stopped to check out the new One Pacific Place the new Ritz Carlton. WOW All I can say is WOW. This is so much more than a hotel. It is a city. It's own city. There are three high rise towers-- hotel, apartments, and business space, connected by what has to be the biggest mall I have ever seen. Most of the stores weren't even open yet but it was seriously overwhelming. The 2 story food court on the is themed as a board walk area complete with lighthouse, water, and moored sailboats. At the very top there was even a children's amusement park Kidzmania
That evening David and the kids surprised me with my birthday present. I say surprised because my birthday is Wednesday but David and I will be in Bali and he wanted to celebrate with the kids. I am thrilled with my pretty blue guitar. Now I just have to learn to play it!
Sunday was more laid back.We rearranged the living room and took the kids for a swim. Then after lunch David and I walked to Kinokuniya bookstore to buy a how to play guitar book. On the way David took pictures along our walk, perhaps inspired by yesterday's art exhibit. After dinner we set up the Christmas tree. Usually we would wait to set it up until about the 10th but David will be in Bali for several weeks (I have to come home after just 2 days) and I wanted everyone here when we set up the tree. We ended the day with the Grinch Christmas cartoon. It was a very nice way to end a busy weekend.

Man 2: LOL Ha Ha Ha
2. Did not learn to read until I was in 5th grade

- I lived in (or near) San Antonio for the first 38 years of my life. Now I live in Indonesia and am moving to Germany next year. Until we got on the plane to fly here I had never even been outside the US (unless you count border towns like Nuevo Laredo and Juarez.) now I have a ton of frequent flyer miles ( I HATE to fly)

We did not date until a few years after our 10-year high school reunion. We e-mailed for a while and after some interference by the same friend started dating. Thank you Kari!
- I like beer, dark beer, my husband hates all beer. I am going to love Germany! David is the permanent designated driver.
- I am a dog person, really, I love dogs. We have two cats, one of which thinks he is a dog and is trying to crawl into my lap as I am typing this. He used to go for walks around the neighborhood with me and the boys, back in Texas. Funny cat.
- I am the only female in the house, I have four boys (15, 7, 6 and 3) and a husband. Even the cats are boys! HELP ME!

David's All Time Favorite Commercial!
Here in Asia we see a totally different set of commercials than we did back in the states. For the most part they look strangely familiar, nothing new or terribly different, just the names have been changed. There is one exception. One commercial which never fails to bring David to a halt just to watch. He must have seen this commercial at least a 1000 times by now but he still laughs out loud every time. Here for your enjoyment is that video.

Day of Pampering: Part 2
Lest you think that Mom has all the fun, the boys got their chance at being pampered today.
Today was a short day at school so they were home by 11:30. I loaded them into the van and headed off to Kemang for haircuts. Not just any haircuts but haircuts while watching Tom and Jerry, each on their own private video screen, a shampoo, a toy AND a coloring book with colors to take home when we were done. All three boys 165,000rp (less than $20). Some things you just gotta love about Jakarta!
There goes Colin's hair! Look at that pile of hair in his lap, and there was more on the floor. By the time they finished with all three boys it looked like someone had shaved a golden retriever, there was so much blond hair on the floor.
"Ohhh, that feels good! Mom should bring us here to get our hair washed all the time!" Even Grayson sat to have his hair shampooed with out screaming. If Alonzo and Colin did it then it is good enough for him. He never wants to be left out.
Here's the after shot, don't we look handsome?

Veterans Day
Veterans Day is that day of the year we stop to remember those who have served to protect our great nation. Please take a moment out of your busy day to remember those who chose to serve and protect. When you see a man or women in uniform please shake his or her hand and just say "thank you". That is all they need to hear. In the six years that I spent on active duty and the six years I spent in the reserves I can't remember a single time that anyone ever uttered those words.
All of those that served and wonder this way…"Thank you". For all of those who had a family member serve and made the ultimate sacrifice…"God be with you".

Day of Pampering
Tomorrow is the Marine Corps Ball, so what's a girl to do but to do but head to the salon for the works. Today was great, an awesome experience, but a bit surreal for this Texas girl. I found myself with 3 others ensconced in our salon chairs, sipping diet coke and chatting about...well the things women chat about when their husbands aren't around.
While I was relaxing and enjoying conversation and talking to my friends a very nice lady was trimming, filing and buffing my toenails, removing callouses (not that I would have such a thing) and basically making my feet look pretty. She also provided an excellent foot and calf massage before painting my toenails a very pretty shade of dark sparkly pink. Basically she gave me a first rate pedicure. It was wonderful, but wait that's not all....
At the same time I was getting my pedicure another lovely lady was filing and buffing my fingernails, trimming my cuticles, as well as massaging my hands and arms all the way to the shoulder and then painting my fingernails to match my toes. In short, my first ever (but hopefully not last) professional salon manicure...wait still not done...
Now remember there are four of us. We are sitting close enough together to chat while we enjoy this treatment and getting manicures and pedicures all at the same time. Getting the picture yet? Each of us has her own chair, each of us has a woman at our feet working away, each of us has a woman working on our hands, we have the drinks of our choice and good friends to talk to. We are the picture of spoiled. What more could any woman possibly want? A cream bath, of course.
What's a cream bath??? Oh lordy are you missing out! If we could get something like this in the states for less than our weekly grocery bill women would go hungry just to have this done every week, if not everyday. First you get your hair washed, usually my favorite part of a haircut. Next a very nice lady plops a bunch of good smelling deep conditioner onto your head and proceeds to spend the next 15 to 20 minutes massaging your scalp. Then eventually she wraps your head in a hot moist towel and while the conditioner does it's job she massages your neck, shoulders and upper back for about 30 minutes. Next a quick touch up massage of the scalp just in case you have tensed up while she was rubbing your back. Then she pops one of those big old fashioned hair dryer things over your head but instead of blowing hot dry air this one gently steams the conditioner into your hair. Meanwhile she is now scrubbing your shoulders, neck, and upper back back with warm moist towels to remove any left over massage lotion, wouldn't want to stain the clothes later, would we? Eventually there is another round of hair washing followed by a blow dry and styling and a cut if needed.
So there you have it four women sitting surrounded by not 1, not 2, but 3 women each, all working on hands, or feet or hair plus a 4th each for the shampoo. It sort of resembled a well-oiled nascar pit crew.
What would you pay for luxury like this? Manicure, pedicure, cream bath, but no hair cut today. Well if you live in Jakarta the bill would be around 338,000 rupiah, plus a tip for each of the ladies bringing the bill to around 400,000 rupiah. How much in dollars? Well currently $1 = 9100 rupiah. You do the math.

America We Need a National Costume!
Why you ask, does the United States need a national costume? Because those of us who spend our time overseas working for embassies, consulates, USAID and the like send our children to international schools and once a year they host a UN day. All the children are asked to come to school dressed in the national outfit of their various countries. Everyone looks so nice. There are the wonderful colors of Indian saris, the intricate patterns of Indonesian batiks, the vibrant silks of Asia shown off in the Korean hanbok, Japanese kimono and Chinese cheongsam. Europe was represented with the vibrant Scottish tartan, Spanish Flamenco dresses, and even German lederhosen. What do Americans wear? Well for the most part we look like a 4th of July parade gone astray, with a few cowboys and native Americans (mostly blond for some reason) and this year one lone Lady Liberty thrown in the bunch. To be completely fair the Aussies, Kiwis and Canadians have similar problems. The Australians mostly dress as sports fans showing their favorite teams colors many also sport the "Aussie hat" (David is often mistaken for an Aussie when wearing his hat), New Zealanders do likewise, while the Canadians plaster themselves head to toe with red maple leaves.
More importantly the children spend the week learning about the cultures of the other students. Jakarta International School (JIS) has children from over 50 different nations coming together to work, learn, and play together, just like kids everywhere. This year's UN day at Pattimura Elementary was held on Friday November 2nd. Parents came to school earlier this week to teach about different holidays, I did my turn presenting Thanksgiving while other 2nd grade parents taught about Divali and Idul Fitri. Parents also brought traditional foods to a food festival where kids could get their Pattimura passports stamped after sampling a dish from a country. Colin collected 13 stamps, and Alonzo collected 14 stamps, way to go guys. The week ended with a UN Day Concert followed by a parade of nations.
One of the big themes at JIS is creating responsible world citizens. Children are encouraged to recognize problems in the world around them and help work on solutions. Unlike schools in the states most of the fund raisers here at JIS support various charities such as Tolong Anak Anak, which helps homeless Indonesian children with a safe place to live and a chance at education. Even some of the songs selected for the UN Day concert reflect this goal. I found one song performed by the prep seniors (kinder), first, and second graders particularly moving.
Share Your Goodwill
By Teresa Jennings
When you have some food to eat,
When you have a coat to keep you warm,
And shoes upon your feet,
Remember there are people not as fortunate as you.
Remember they might need your help,
You know what you can do.
When you have a place to sleep at night,
You can share your good will.
Oh, share your good will,
Keep in mind humankind,
And share your goodwill.
When you have a school to teach you things,
When you have a chance to learn,
When you have a job, a livelihood,
A way for you to earn,
Remember there are people not as fortunate as you.
Remember they might need your help.
You know what you can do.
The concert lasted for about an hour. It involved children ranging from prep junior (pre-kinder ) all the way to 5th grade. All of the children behaved beautifully. Songs from a variety of countries were performed in many languages. We even had a surprise appearance by not 1 but 2 JIS Dragons, if you look close you can spot them dancing with 4th and 5th graders in one of the pictures above. Most of the concert was performed by a few grade levels at a time but for the final number all the children were brought back together for one last song We Can Make A Difference presented in the video below. Enjoy the bit of the concert in the videos above and below, UN Day is truly a moving, hopeful experience.

Life is Good
We have a new internet provider, it is supposed to be much faster than anything we have had in Jakarta before now. So far so good. I have been unable to get streaming audio until now. The connection was just too slow. Now I am listening to Y100 San Antonio's country music station while I am typing this post. I am happily getting a much needed country music fix, however I must say Dwi seems unimpressed by the "new" music. She came in this morning, cleaned the kitchen then scooted Grayson outside in short order.

text: AMSTERDAM and SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVG Technologies N.V. (NYSE: AVG), the online security company for 177 million active users, today announced it has begun rolling out a short data privacy notice within its mobile apps to make it transparent to customers what data is collected and how it is shared. AVG is one of the first in the industry to pursue this best practice which arises from the National Telecommunications & Information Administration (NTIA) Privacy Multi-StakeHolder Process, Short Form Notice Code of Conduct to Promote Transparency in Mobile App Practices, announced in July last year. "AVG is an innovator in security and privacy and has clearly recognized that greater transparency leads to greater trust," said Jules Polonetsky, Director of the Future of Privacy Forum. "We're looking forward to other companies following the lead of AVG in embracing the 'human readable' privacy disclosure approach." AVG monitored the progress of the NTIA Privacy Multi stakeholder process on Mobile Application Transparency from 2012 through to the resulting Code of Conduct that was finalized in 2013. With the delivery of a prototype of a short data privacy notice that will be rolled out across its mobile apps, AVG is one of the first to publicly announce a response to the new guidelines. "As a responsible mobile app provider, we are aware that most consumers don't read every privacy policy end to end for every app they download since they can be complicated and time-consuming to understand. We also know from the recent MEF Global Consumer Trust Report, in association with AVG, that 65 per cent of consumers are unhappy sharing personal information with an app. We welcome the NTIA's initiative to provide a regulatory framework to support a new industry-wide approach. Our resulting short data privacy notice is a 'nutrition label' style notice that the company plans to roll out across all our mobile apps this year," said Jim Brock, VP Privacy Products, AVG Technologies. "In the Internet of Things, consumers are often unwittingly sharing more data than they realize. Through the consistent application of our short data privacy notice across all of our apps we will ensure our customers understand if our apps collect data, why and for what purpose it may be shared." As part of the NTIA effort, consumer and privacy groups including the American Civil Liberties Union, World Privacy Forum, Consumer Action, Future of Privacy Forum and the App Developers Alliance backed a code calling for a short privacy notice that uses standardized and straightforward language. Model notices created by the Future of Privacy Forum were subsequently tested within the AVG app community by the AVG User Experience team to ensure that the style, language and interface met the goals of the project. The AVG Short Data Privacy Notice app will be rolled out first on the AVG AntiVirus range of mobile apps.

I am considering doing both the jdf and wct trails at the end of the summer. Current looking at starting either the week before or the week after labour day and am wondering what kind of weather I should expect around that time of year.
Also any good sources of information you could recommend other than the official national parks guide?
@dandydanLocale: Cascadia
September was wet when I was on the JDF and I'm pretty sure that's normal. It won't be that cold, but don't count on easy fires because the forest is often soaked so you have to work for it if you want a fire.
Regarding guides, there is a JDF guidebook that is decent:
And then I think a lot of people use Blisters and Bliss for the WCT.
I'm not too sure about online resources. I'm sure there's some good trip reports at ClubTread.com

White House seeks new climate measures, trade progress in Trudeau visit
By Roberta Rampton and Timothy Gardner
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are set to discuss new ideas for curbing climate change and expanding trade during an Oval Office meeting this week, White House officials said during a preview on Tuesday.
Trudeau, who pledged to repair frayed ties with the United States when he took office in November, will meet with Obama on Thursday ahead of a star-studded state dinner.
The White House, which sees a natural partner in Trudeau, hopes the two countries can commit to cut methane emissions from the energy sector by 40 percent to 45 percent from 2012 levels by 2025, and endorse an initiative to stop routine flaring from oil and gas fields, said Todd Stern, the U.S. climate envoy.
"The commitment of both leaders to addressing this global challenge is clear and I expect under their leadership North America will make significant progress this year," Stern told reporters.
Stern said the two countries also are looking at ways to make carbon emissions from the aviation sector "neutral," starting in 2020 through the Montreal-based International Civil Aviation Organization.
The United States also hopes to accelerate the timetable to phase out HFCs, industrial gases that have far more potential to trap the earth's heat than carbon dioxide, through an amendment to the Montreal Protocol, Stern said.
On trade, a hot-button issue for both Democrats and Republicans in the race to succeed Obama in the Nov. 8 presidential election, the leaders are likely to discuss two longstanding irritants, softwood lumber and meat labeling.
A deal governing Canadian softwood lumber exports expired last year, and the two nations are talking about a new arrangement, said Mark Feierstein, the White House National Security Council's senior director for the Western hemisphere. Continued...

Combat Silencers
is a unique
report on silenced and suppressed weapons, as well
as the tactics of stealth combat
. The
use of silencers by snipers armed with rifle
, including a discussion of
Soviet Army snipers
, makes the book a truly unique
For over fifty years,
silencers have influenced stealth combat tactics
. Silencers have
been used repeatedly by
snipers armed with rifle silencers
, although the most frequent
use of silencers has been with pistols. This book discusses
the historical use of
beginning with World War 2 with German and OSS adaptations of silencers, and
brings it forward to modern day use of low-signature or suppressed weapons, including
sub-machine guns, by snipers armed with rifle silencers and special operations soldiers.
tactics of the special operations soldier

which a silencer is tailor made
. This book is for educational purposes only,
since silencers are illegal.
Table of Contents
"Several distinct types of noise of high or low degree, are produced by firearms in operation. Detonation comes first,
followed by the muzzle blast of expanding gases (the joint between revolver cylinders and barrels adds to this), and then
comes the shock wave created by bullet velocity. If the weapon is of the semi or full automatic variety there are also
mechanical noises produced. If these several noises could be silenced or materially reduced, a number of obvious
advantages would be gained, particularly by the military. A sentry or guard can be killed silently with a knife, but it is
difficult to stalk within killing range without the alarm being given. A silenced firearm could do the job from a distance. It
would indeed be helpful on night raids or patrols, and for silently wiping out isolated outposts of the enemy."

The Voyages-sncf.com Group was founded as an Internet travel agency website in France in June 2000.
In the United Kingdom[edit]
Until 12 December 2013, Voyages-sncf.com in the UK was known as Rail Europe Ltd.
In 1893, the Chemin de Fer du Nord became the first French private railway to be represented in the UK, establishing an office in London's Victoria station. Almost 20 years later, the Chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée (PLM) opened an office at 179 Piccadilly, London.
In 1937 France nationalised its rail network and the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Français (SNCF) was created by the merger of the state railway company with five other principal operators. SNCF created French Railways Ltd, incorporating the UK operations of its predecessors.
In 1995 French Railways Ltd opened a larger public call centre in Leake Street (near Waterloo station) in London, and two years later acquired British Rail International. SNCF subsequently merged French Railways Ltd and British Rail International to form Rail Europe Ltd.
In 2002 Rail Europe Ltd combined its Head Office operations from Piccadilly and the call centre from Leake Street into new premises in Kings Hill, Kent, and in December 2007 the Travel Centre in Piccadilly moved to new premises shared with VisitBritain located within British Columbia House, 1 Regent Street, London SW1. In February 2012, the Travel Centre moved to 193 Piccadilly, London W1.
In December 2013 Rail Europe Ltd rebranded itself as part of the Voyages-sncf.com Group in the UK. In November 2015 the Voyages-sncf London Travel Centre closed, since then bookings can be made online, via a mobile app, or through the Voyages-sncf.com call centre. [6] The North American, Australian and World websites however still use the Rail Europe brand.
Rail Europe Chartered Operations[edit]
As well as selling and distributing tickets for SNCF and other European railways, until 2009 Rail Europe organised two chartered rail services in France. Operated by SNCF using standard French rolling stock, both services were aimed at the UK market and staffed by both French personnel (driver and guard) and English-speaking Rail Europe representatives ("Rail Travel Supervisors").
The Rail Europe Snowtrain[edit]
This chartered service operated between December or January and April to transport passengers directly to the ski resorts of the French Alps.
The journey took place in two stages; the Eurostar on a Friday from London or [Ashford International] to Paris, followed by a transfer to an overnight sleeper service composed of 10 Vu-84 "Corail" coaches with sleeping accommodation consisting of six berth "couchette" compartments. The train included a Bar/Disco coach, with disco lighting and DJ booth. This overnight service called at Chambéry, Albertville, Aime la Plagne and Landry, terminating at Bourg St Maurice early Saturday morning. The return service departed from Bourg St Maurice on Saturday evenings, with passengers arriving by Eurostar in London or Ashford on Sunday morning. The Rail Europe Snowtrain was suspended in 2009 due to economic uncertainty.
British skiers wishing to travel by train to the French Alps during the winter can now instead take the Eurostar to Paris and change for high-speed or overnight services to stations like Chamonix, Bourg St Maurice, Briançon, Moûtiers and Megève. Eurostar also runs Direct Ski services during the ski season, calling at Moûtiers, Bourg St Maurice and Aime-la-Plagne, stations which serve ski resorts including Courchevel, Les Arcs, Tignes, Méribel, Aime la Plagne and Val d'Isère.
French Motorail[edit]
'Motorail' services carry cars and motorbikes using car transporters attached to the train. Operating from May to September, Rail Europe's French Motorail service was aimed at travellers wishing to take their cars to the South of France and onwards with a minimum amount of driving.
The train departed from Calais several times every week during the summer months, terminating at Nice (calling at Avignon and Frejus) and Narbonne (calling at Brive la Gaillarde and Toulouse.) The service was cancelled in 2009 due to economic uncertainty.
Those wishing to take their cars to France can now drive to Paris and pick up an 'Auto-Train' service, whereby cars are transported on overnight trains to Avignon, Bordeaux, Brive la Gaillarde, Fréjus/St Raphaël, Lyon, Marseille, Narbonne, Nice, Toulon and Toulouse. Unlike on the Motorail service, passengers may then either travel on the same route with a Lunéa sleeping-car ticket or on a different train such as a daytime TGV.
Rail Europe 4A[edit]
Created in 1995, Rail Europe 4A is a joint venture between the French national rail company (SNCF) and the Swiss national railway company (SBB). The head office of Rail Europe 4A is located in Paris. The company has several local offices and General Sales Agents (GSA) in Asia, Australasia, Africa and South America.
Rail Europe 4A is a leading distributor of point to point tickets and rail passes. In 2012, Rail Europe 4A launched the Rail Europe Connexion [1], a magazine and website for inspirational trips in Europe.
Rail Europe Continentale[edit]
This wholly owned subsidiary of the French Railways is responsible for the marketing and distribution of French domestic and international rail products in continental Europe. Rail Europe Continentale has its headquarters in Brussels and offices in Cologne, Milan, Geneva and Madrid.
The website saw several outages in its history, which were criticized by French medias.[7][8][9]
Anti-competitive behavior[edit]
On 5 February 2009, SNCF was fined € 5 million by the French Conseil de la concurrence for "giving a preferential treatment to its subsidiary voyages-sncf.com, created with the American online travel agency Expedia".[10][11]
The SNCF did not appeal the decision, but Expedia did.[12]

- Engineered Surfaces' Minhang, China coated fabrics facility experienced a major typhoon-related flood in early October. Through diligent efforts by OMNOVA's global associates, the plant is now operating again; however, it will take additional time to return to normalized manufacturing, inventory and sales levels. The Company is compiling its claim costs related to the flood and expects to receive insurance recovery proceeds in 2014. Customers are now being fully serviced, and the impact is not expected to continue into 2014.
- The Performance Chemicals operation in Ningbo, China, declared force majeure to customers of its antioxidant products after a sudden and unanticipated raw material supply disruption. The Company anticipates it will be manufacturing product for only two of the final seven weeks of the quarter, but alternative raw material supply is being secured and the Company does not believe that the impact will continue into 2014.
- Performance Chemicals' paper chemical volumes and margins are lower than expected, due to slower ramp-up of new volume wins and lower pricing. However, the Company has successfully negotiated a new two-year contract with its largest paper customer in advance of the contract expiration date.
- Raw material costs are expected to be higher in the fourth quarter – driven by a 27% increase in butadiene – and the Company does not believe these costs will be completely passed on to customers in the quarter.
- The Company now expects higher health care costs in the quarter due to higher claims in its employer-sponsored plan.
FAIRLAWN, Ohio, Nov. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- OMNOVA Solutions Inc. (NYSE: OMN) today announced that it is updating earnings guidance for the fourth quarter and full year ending November 30, 2013. The Company now expects reported GAAP earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2013 will be approximately $0.16 to $0.18 per diluted share, significantly above the $0.01 per diluted share for the fourth quarter a year ago, and slightly below the $0.19 per diluted share third quarter 2013 results. The previously forecasted fourth quarter 2013 results are now expected to be negatively impacted by several items:

4 ways to make a city more walkable
Freedom from cars, freedom from sprawl, freedom to walk your city! City planner Jeff Speck shares his "general theory of walkability" — four planning principles to transform sprawling cities of six-lane highways and 600-foot blocks into safe, walkable oases full of bike lanes and tree-lined streets.

text: Hi getting blue screens since a few days when I move around larger files from different hard drives (non-SSD) to others in order to format my truecrypt encrypted drives to remove the encryption (want to switch to modern tool, which is still developed and gets bug fixes). Attached you the files mentioned in the "How to ask for help with a BSOD problem" thread. Does this help you to find the root cause? Gotta mention, that about a week ago I updated the firmware of my Samsung 840 EVO SSD, BUT it was neither the source nor the target of my data moving. Nevertheless yesterday the SSD after the BSOD suddently wasn't detected when I rebooted. But disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord helped me finding it and rebooting again. Today another BSOD, but fortunately there was no SSD detection issue this time. I really doubt, the BSOD is connected to the new SSD firmware, since the first few days there was no trouble at all. CrystalDiskInfo says also, the SSD is at 100% health. The other hard drives are in a healthy ("good") state as well. Maybe the decryption process from encrypted hard drives to unencrypted ones puts too much strain on my 4 processor cores and those cores don't get enough voltage (turbo overclocked to 4.6 GHz). Or is the RAM settings the issue. But why now after about 3 years of error free usage? I personally think it could either be the latest Windows Updates I installed (about 3 days ago) (80% likelihood for me) or the SSD firmware update after all (30% likelihood). Please let me know, if you need additional stuff (and how I can provide it) to make a proper assessment of the root cause here. Thanks in advance for your support, Wolverine

DCeptette: Dig me out version
- It's Sommertime! Congrats to Sommer Mathis, who has become the latest blogger to wear the mantle of DCist editor. We credit her liberal "give the contributors milkshakes" policy as the means by which she rose to this position. Now, we need to find an intern willing to go to the gym and watch TV for her. [Cruel Sommer]
- Many thanks to DC's version of Mo Rocca for coming through on the Sleater-Kinney ticket procurement front. [Grammar.Police]
- Theatrically-minded people should take note that for the time being, The Rorschach Theatre Blog is DCeiver-enabled. I've already been told that constant profanity may cost us our audience of middle-school English teachers. So, I've got some fucking shit to get out of my fucking shit-ass system on these pages. Fuck already. Jesus. Anyway, look to those pages for The Shows That Rorschach Will Not Be Doing Next Season. And, in advance, I say: Sorry, middle-school English teachers. Keep on helping the children. This too shall pass, as soon as Scotty finishes his
mid-life crisistour. [The Rorschach Theatre Blog]
- If you are of the literary bent and in the market for a brand-new, hilariously surreal blog, check out The Infantry.
- Trapped in a Yoplait commercial? Uhm, okay. We'll just go with that. [Craigslist]

Shocking and very sad news to learn about the passing of Robin Williams. 911 call was received around 11:55am yesterday and just after 12noon the actor was pronounced dead in his home outside of San Francisco. He was just 63. Early reports show it may have been a suicide by asphyxiation. The actor/comedian struggled with addiction for years but had been sober with the exception of a rehab stint in 2006 to remain clean. Williams was very public about his battle with acute depression and family members are shocked. Celebrities reacted all day on social media and Conan O'Brien broke the news to his studio audience:
We got an update on Tracy Morgan's recovery. According to his lawyer, "He's still struggling, but he's a fighter. He's had issues before that he's fought through, and he's fighting hard." He appeared on the Today Show and says the family is still confident Tracy will pull through, but it sounds like the at-home rehab is rougher than they originally thought it would be.

Richard very gentleman
We enjoyed our stay in Richard´s loft. The appartment was perfect and a good starting place for visiting Lissabon, because the appartment is in the middle of the town. The loft was well furnished and clean. We can recommend this loft.

Apartment symathique very pleasant and well located. Great welcome from Richard!
Appartement très symathique, agréable et bien situé. Super accueil de Richard!
The apartment was as ad: friendly and well located. Richard is a friendly and helpful, he received very well by making themselves available for anything that could serve us. I highly recommend it as an apartment that is as an owner.
L'appartamento era come da annuncio: accogliente e ben ubicato. Richard è una persona cordiale e disponibile, ci ha accolto egregiamente mettendosi a disposizione per tutto ciò che poteva servirci. Lo consiglio vivamente sia come appartamento che come proprietario.
Richard is a nice and helpful landlord. The apartment is. Middle of Bairro Alto with many small restaurants, cafes, bars and "mom and pop" stores Ideal to discover the city and around the corner is a beautiful place with wonderful views of the city and Castle of Sao Jorge. Unfortunately, in the apartment lacks a case for clothes, but it is decorated with care and detailed with antique furniture. We would hire them again. Hans
Richard ist ein netter und hilfsbereiter Vermieter. Die Wohnung ist mitten in Bairro Alto mit vielen kleinen Restaurants, Cafés, Bars und "Tante Emma" Läden. Ideal und die Stadt zu entdecken Um die Ecke ist ein schöner Platz mit wunderbarer Aussicht auf die Stadt und das Castelo de São Jorge. Leider fehlt in der Wohnung ein Schrank für die Kleidung, sie ist aber liebevoll und detailreich mit alten Möbeln eingerichtet. Wir würden sie nochmal mieten.
The property was fantastic, with beautiful decor and furniture. There was plenty of space for 3-4 people, and the bedrooms were particularly comfortable! It was lovely to sit outside on the terrace to enjoy breakfast in the mornings.
Richard was a great host and helpfully explained everything we needed to know about our stay. There are some great restaurants just a 5 minute walk away, and the number 28 tram stops just down the road, which takes you into the main centre of Lisbon in a few minutes.
We had a great stay in Richards Appartment - we felt like home. Comfortable and a perfect location in the middle of everything but asolutely quiet. Communication was always easy and quick. We really recommend Richards place and we would bsolutely use it again when we come back to Lisbon. Thank you Richard.
Hou er rekening mee dat het perfecte appartement (3 hoog) iets hoger gelegen ligt in het centrum. Veel omhoog lopen dus. Alles is aanwezig en het appartement was schoon. Goede wifi. De slaapbanken van Ikea staan in de woonkamer. Als bed waren ze prima, als bank zaten ze niet fijn. We hadden een avond vlucht en hadden het geluk dat we langer in het appartement konden blijven. Zonder bijbetaling.
El piso es tal y como se muestra en las imágenes, perfecto para 4 personas. Todo muy cómodo y limpio y con todo tipo de utensilios domésticos. Además se encuentra situado en todo el centro de la ciudad, por lo que es perfecto para recorrerla a pie o en sus famosos tranvias.
Es un apartamento fantastico!

Contributions by Victor McMurry to the Dean's Excellence Fund is helping college researchers address agricultural issues facing Wyoming residents.
McMurry, a Phoenix resident, is recipient of this year's Legacy Award.
"This generous support from Vic McMurry is the lead gift for the Dean's Excellence Fund in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources," says Dean Frank Galey. "Thanks to Vic, the college will be able to pursue new initiatives to address important issues facing Wyoming's agriculture, renewable resource base, and rural communities."
Although his father was in the construction business, McMurry chose to attend the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. He transferred to UW from Casper College in fall 1967 and graduated with a bachelor's degree in farm and ranch management in 1970.
"It was a wonderful place. I was entirely comfortable," says McMurry. "And it's now even more focused on trying to provide what people across the state need. The UW college of ag is the top in the country as far as I'm concerned."
The fund supports speaker presentations, panel discussions, guest lectures, short courses, and public forums that make science-based information available to the public.
The college's scope is much broader than might be realized - in addition to traditional areas of animal, plant, and veterinary science, the college encompasses applied economics, ag communications, family and consumer sciences, microbiology and molecular biology, renewable resources, and the Wyoming Reclamation and Restoration Center.
"I asked Frank, 'What do you need?'" says McMurry. "I wanted to help provide funds utilized by people on the ground, where it would do the most good. Every generation has to do their part as part of the human race. I learned that from my father."
Land use, stewardship of natural resources, community development, and sustainability are issues at the forefront in Wyoming. The Dean's Excellence Fund helps address these challenges through research and outreach.
"I think Frank Galey is doing a great job," says McMurry. "He is a great asset to the university and to the college of ag, and he's truly someone I've enjoyed getting to know. The goal of the college is to create vibrant, sustainable rural communities in order to "Build the Wyoming We Want," and the Dean's Excellence Fund is a huge step in the right direction."
"This generous support from Vic McMurry is the lead gift for the Dean's Excellence Fund in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Thanks to Vic, the college will be able to pursue new initiatives to address important issues facing Wyoming's agriculture, renewable resource base, and rural communities." -- Dean Frank Galey

Oh, my sweet beloved, how fair art thine shining, opal eyes? For I know not, lest I see you once more, never to leave your sight.
It was not the best of hooks. Yet, it caught her, and lodged itself in her mind. It let her know. It let her feel. It let her trust. She read with a steady heart, passing her eyes over every curve of the script. The old scrolls from moons ago were scattered around her, within her carriage.
Beyond the tinted windows, a blue heron flew across the road. It carefully gained altitude, to pass overhead of the armed dragoons on horseback that followed the carriage.
Looking forward, there was hope on the horizon. Behind, though, all they knew was doom. The royal guard was glad to leave the homeland, freed for the moment of the blight that bound their land with plague.
Sweet Tatianna, thou art as a flame to the moths. You draw them in with your brilliance, yet their wings do burn. I assure you, my love for you, my wings, they will not burn!
And the young aristocrat impatiently pulled her eyes past the pretentiously romantic poetry that followed. They fell upon the final words of what she was rereading.
For with this letter, and the ring that binds it to the leg of its carrier, I ask your hand in marriage.
The royal carriage was an anachronism of a forgotten age. It would once have been called a sports car. The unattainable kind that hung in posters on the walls of young men's rooms. Now, it trudged along by the pace of four white horses and the unsteady roll of wooden wheels.
She knew how she had replied. Reluctant, at first. Yet, the dove flies fast with white, virgin grace. And letters later, he had tendered her heart. It did not occur to her that it could have been written by his scribes. Nor that every metaphor and simile may have been crafted by his poets or taken from the lips of his bards. Tatianna never got a chance to hear the commoners sit in their taverns, as they spoke of political marriages and the lustfully unnatural appetites of kings and princes.
The road was rough. A dozen thousand winters, and an ungodly ice age, had wrought many cracks into the cement. And the stripes of paint had long since faded.
A silvery suit of armour stood like a statue in the middle of the road. Its helm was a grotesque caricature of the human skull. The chainmail and the plates shone white as bone in the summer sun. Behind it, a crimson cape, stained with browning blood, tailed in the wind. The only other adornment was a gaudy, ribbed codpiece that fell to an amethyst tip.
The princess was the first, and the second, to scream.
Tsarevna Tatianna the Second, destined to fall upon the pages of history as Saint Tatianna the Innocent; though others might name her a demonic temptress.
The white caravan came to a stop. There was no command. They knew the meaning of the skullhelm. The horses screamed with frustration, and the dragoons moved in with tridents of iron.
From within the carriage, two women screamed.
The armoured figure looked on as crossbow bolts flitted out from the ruins and forest of either roadside. With uncanny precision, they hit the weak points at the neck of the draconian helmets. The royal guard of dragoons fell from their horses one by one, with a dull clanging of their iron tridents.
Robed men and women came out of the forest. They wore the same red as they knight's cape, but it was not stained with blood. First, they approached the horses, and calmed them with gentle patting and fresh fruit.
The skulled knight carefully opened the left door of the carriage. It sat in the back seat, behind the two women. One of them was chanting indecipherably, and with great urgency.
Outside, they watched as the robed people shed their garb and began to unbound the dragonlike armour of the fallen guards.
And then, the skull knight clamped a gauntlet over the mouth of the chanting woman, silencing her. Immediately, the pages of the tome from which she read caught on fire.
The other woman, beside her, gasped.
A muffled, androgynous voice came from within the skull, "You will casst no spellss in my pressencce."
"Why have you come, reaper?" asked the woman who could speak.
"Reaperss? Iss that what you call usss?"
"W-what are you, then?"
"I am an Agent of the Collapssse," it hissed.
"Th-the C-c-collapse?"
"Of ccivilizzation." There was no pride in the distant voice, which came from behind the metal skull. "Which one of you is the Tssarevna?"
The scared young woman grinned at her counterpart. They both had the same curly brown hair and unblemished fair skin.
"Which one of you is Tssarevna Tatianna the Sss-second?"
The muted spell-caster, who had put out the fire by pushing the open grimoire against the dashboard of the carriage, was wearing an orange-jeweled signet ring. And it shone with the very fires she had cast. Yet she was clothed in a servant's dress.
"Which one of you?"
The other wore royal threads, a mauve long skirt with gold lace. She sat before the seat with the wheel, a place of authority in the ancient carriages. She giggled, despite her trembling.
"Twinsss!?" The voice rasped more, and was almost inaudible between the jaws of the helm.
Her face fell to solemnity.
Outside, a single traveler rode up the pavement. A crossbow bolt shot out from the woods, and he fell from his horse as it trotted off into the distance.
"Very well," said the knight, "I will disspose of you both."
Beyond the dark windows, the fallen dragoons stood once more, and mounted their horses. However, they had been replaced. Bodies had been dragged to the roadside. One of them mounted the hood of the carriage, and held a whip firmly in hand.
The left and right car doors opened, and two withered, naked corpses fell to the ground. And, in her mauve dress, a new Tatianna rose from the side of the carriage. Digging her heel firmly into the body below it, she pulled an empty suit of armour from between the front seats. With inhuman strength, she tossed it into a grassy ditch.
The sun was beginning to set, and cast a warm glow across the bulky clouds.
And with finality, she pulled the skullhelm from her head and flung it into the ditch; revealing a full head of curly brown hair and an unblemished face of fair skin. Her eyes sparkled with opalescence. Then, reaching back, she tightened the bindings of her dress. Now, she was, with every ounce, the likeness of the duplicitous aristocrat who lay dead beneath her feet.
"Commander Detritus, shall we set forth?" the dragoon asked, from the hood of the carriage. "We don't want to be late for your wedding."
"Please," she requested, as she got back into the seat behind the wheel, "Address me henceforth as princess." Tatianna felt very tired after her transformation. But not as tired as the bodies in her wake.
"Yes ma'am, I mean -- Your Highness," he replied, careful not to mockingly hiss the final syllable when she was in earshot.
And as the white sports car continued its journey into a foreign country, across a freeway ravaged by a nuclear ice age, an evil grin twisted across the stolen face of Tsarevna Tatianna the Second. All around, men on white horses clung to tridents and sought to keep her safe. And her eyes began to read, for the first time, the love letters from the man she'd soon marry.

This almost made me feel like Sam was a reincarnated Chris from charmed or something. Was that intentional?
| stranded chess piece chapter 5 . 9/4/2007
Nicely written. I like how you began the story in the middle- if that makes sense- then explained it from there. I've never been into Shakespere, but this is the second time in a couple of days I've heard the Tempest mentioned. Might just have to read it :) Thanks for the good read!
| rozzy07 chapter 5 . 8/26/2007
Ah sweet ending, with enough brotherly snark to keep a girl well and truly happy! Each derogratory remark a true term of affection. Yep - most definitely left with a happy smile on my face. Rozzy
| funkyspunk chapter 5 . 8/25/2007
Hey OSS!
Im so sorry I didn't review earlier. I was really busy with RL and everything.
I loved this fic a lot, and yes the ending was lovely. I cant wait until you start a new fic!
Im really looking forward to it! You're an amazing writer!
thanks for reviewing and sending me a PM about my fic [BreakingSerenity's True Memories]. I really appreciated it. You are awesome! )
| LadyVic chapter 5 . 8/25/2007
One of the best parts of coming home from vacation is getting to catch up on all the great fics I've been missing. Thanks for a good read. The scene with the knife and the ghost's name definitely made me smile. I kept waiting for Niko to appear. LOL How cool would a crossover be? I could definitely see Sam and Cal hitting it off.
| TammiTam chapter 5 . 8/22/2007
Awesome job, as always! I love how you portray the brotherly banter, and you are astounding at Overprotective Dean! And ... with that dash of Limp Sam, well, it rounds out the story nicely!
| irishgirl9 chapter 5 . 8/22/2007
Great chapter! I really like that story! That's a great ending, but if you want to write more I'll definitely read it.
I loved this part:
"Bite yourself man-whore,"
"Sammy," Dean cried indignantly, "that one's off limits and you know it."
| Deanaholic1 chapter 5 . 8/22/2007

Fantastic ending to a wonderful story! Looking forward to your next one!
| DarthJackie chapter 5 . 8/22/2007
haha! Sam won...that's awesome.
Awesome ending.
| ziggy.uk chapter 5 . 8/22/2007
Yeah, Sam is recovering and Dean feels he can at least leave his bedside for coffee! Can imagine why Dean doesn't know whether to be worried or not that Sam doesn't really remember! And just loved the brotherly banter at the end, things are getting back to normal!
| HauntedPast chapter 5 . 8/22/2007
Haha, very cute chapter. I was a little nervous when Sam woke up and Dean called him John. I was afraid that Sam had somehow (I don't know how) lost his memory and that Dean was inadvertantly feeding him false memories. Weird, huh? I love the man-whore crack!
| DarthJackie chapter 4 . 8/15/2007
Aw...Dean's sleepin' next to his bro. How sweet!
Awesome chapter, can't wait for the next one.
| sammygirl1963 chapter 4 . 8/12/2007
Awesome chapter!
I had to keep reminding myself tho that when the doctor said John that she was actually talking about Sam! LOL
I love protective Dean when it comes to Sam-he is so tender with Sam when he is unconscious!

Police consultant in Azana case has history of backing officers
The police consultant who said Brown Deer police correctly handled domestic violence complaints against Azana Spa shooter Radcliffe Haughton has a long history of siding with police in controversial cases, according to police and court records.
Last year, the consultant, Robert C. Willis, testified before the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission in support of Milwaukee police Officer Richard Schoen. The officer was captured on video in September 2011 punching a handcuffed Jeanine Tracy in the face, pulling her out of the back of a police car by her hair and striking her in the abdomen with his knee after she was on the floor.
Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn fired Schoen, who appealed to the commission.
At the appeal hearing, Willis "broke down the events in the back seat of the car in painstaking detail, in an effort to establish appropriate motivations for Schoen's actions in isolation," commissioners wrote. "There is some value to this approach, but it is also important not to miss the forest for the trees. All of Schoen's actions were part and parcel of a loss of temper and due restraint. He was angry with her and was going to pull her from the car whatever force it took and without regard to any other considerations."
Commissioners initially decided Schoen should keep his job but later changed their minds, saying they had misinterpreted the law and commission rules. Schoen is appealing his dismissal in court.
Willis, a law enforcement teacher at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and former New Berlin police officer, is a frequent expert witness in police brutality cases. He takes the side of police departments about 90% of the time, he testified in a federal court deposition in 2008.
That testimony came in a civil suit filed by the family of Michael Bell, an unarmed man who was killed by Kenosha police in November 2004. Willis helped police construct several re-enactments to try to show they were justified in shooting Bell, 21, in the head in his driveway. The city and Police Department ultimately paid Bell's family $1.75 million to settle the civil suit, which alleged excessive force and civil rights violations.
In 2010, Willis issued a report saying police followed department procedures and the law in the fatal shooting of Johnny Harris. Oak Creek officers chased Harris at speeds of up to 110 mph after he was spotted approaching houses early in the morning, ostensibly selling wheel rims door-to-door. When Harris crashed into a building and ran away, police ran after him, leaving their SUV - with guns inside - unlocked and running. Harris got into the police vehicle and was trying to drive away when police killed him.
Willis recommended that in the future Oak Creek officers "should, whenever possible, activate their personal audio recording devices." He also suggested the department update its policy on officer-involved shootings and should consider "other alternatives in the storage of long guns inside squads. These alternatives should take security into consideration as well as easy access for the officer," Willis' report says.
He did not recommend that any officers be disciplined, and none were.

Ministerial role
Lord in Waiting (Government Whip)
Lords Whips have the same constitutional position as departmental ministers. Their role in the House of Lords is different from that of Whips in the Commons, which is predominantly party management.
A Lords Whip has an active role at the despatch box promoting and defending departmental policy which involves:
- answering questions
- responding to debates
- taking through primary and secondary legislation
If the department concerned does not have a departmental minister in the House of Lords, all of that department's business will fall to a Whip.
Current role holder: The Rt Hon Lord Henley
Lord Henley was appointed as a Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Work and Pensions on 21 December 2016, and as a Lord in Waiting (Government Whip) on 21 November 2016. He is a Conservative member of the House of Lords.
Lord Henley served as Minister of State for Crime Prevention and Anti-Social Behaviour Reduction from September 2011 to September 2012. He served as Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs from 2010 to 2011.
Lord Henley held a number of positions in the previous Conservative government, including Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Department of Social Security, the Department for Employment and the Ministry of Defence. He was also Minister of State for the Department of Education and Employment. In Opposition, he served as Chief Whip, Deputy Speaker and was Opposition spokesperson for Legal Affairs and Justice.
He was educated at Clifton College, Bristol and Durham University. He was called to the Bar in 1977.
