The Man Behind The Curtain
They say that they never look how you expect, that when you meet someone that you've only heard about for the first time it's always a shocking experience, trying to resolve to idea with the flesh.
They lied.
I look at Red sat on the other side of a one-way mirror and he looks exactly how I imagined him. A little scrawny. A haggard face that screams of his need for attention. A fire behind his eyes that burns with fanaticism.
Except none of those things are there. Just the scrawniness. Physically, he's the perfect image of what I thought he would be, but his energy. it's seems lacking and I'm disappointed that this little victory of mine has defeated him so utterly. A more paranoid man might think this was someone else, after all, how would I ever know? Surprisingly, there were no photos of him in his home, though the geeks say that this isn't uncommon for a single white male.
Oh well, you have to trust in your tools to be a good workman. The real test will come when I speak to him. They will be moving him soon to a more secure facility, the local polce station not being deemed secure enough for a terrorist. I'll talk to him during the trip, for now, I'm content to watch and gloat from behind a screen, the Wizard of Oz.
After a few hours of hearing reports and drinking coffee, we are on the road and I have Red to myself in the back of an armoured van. He is chained to the railings, head down in his orange jumpsuit while I sit comfortably in the far corner along with a guard, unfortunately. Security must be upheld.
"Hello Red, or would you prefer Jeremy?"
"I'd prefer you go screw yourself, but I guess you're a little too old for your tastes."
"Cute. Is that really the best you have to say, what ever happened to the famous wit of Red Five? Not so clever without a can of spray paint in your hands are you? You'll be going away for a long time for what you've done Jeremy. I've made sure of it."
Red begins to reply when we suddenly stop. The guard opens the hatch into the front and the back of his head explodes onto the far wall, covering it with a filmy red paste of blood and brains. I look to Red, anger and shock on my face.
"You did this, one of your little friends!"
The door slams open and Red smiles smugly even as his brains suddenly joins the grisly collage on the van's interior. I look into the face of his killer with a horrible recognition as he stoops in and grabs my arm.

One thing I learned in my studies of history here is that industries go through natural political cycles of rising, ruling and falling, which define the politics of each succeeding generation.
Manufacturing rose during the Progressive Era, ruled during the New Deal era, and fell during the era of Nixon. Oil rose during the New Deal era, ruled during the Nixon era, and is falling now during the Obama era.
The same pattern holds for technology. Technology rose during the Nixon era, and now is its time to rule. That is not a fate it can escape. The alternative is too dismal to contemplate, continuing political domination by industries and people antithetical to tech's interests, like the Koch brothers, whose money comes from energy and manufacturing.
As an industry rises, what it most wants from government is to be left alone. As it rules it first wants to eliminate other interests' interference in its progress, and then seeks to maintain that control in defiance of larger economic trends. That's what is behind the larger political cycles of American politics, and it has been since our nation's founding. The business of America remains business, and that is at the heart of our global leadership. Lose that and we fail. So does everyone in this country.
So 2016 is a very important year for technology's leaders. For people like Bill Gates, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who have become wealthier than anyone can imagine during this decade, now is the time to step up.
That doesn't mean writing a check. There are important issues that they need to become far more deeply involved in than they are. There is a political agenda to be defined and pursued.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
A Leland man was sentenced to more than 13 years in prison after pleading guilty to his role in a home invasion and shooting that severely injured a Wilmington college student in January 2013.
Kadeem Remal Thomas, 23, pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon with the intent to kill or inflict serious injury, robbery with a dangerous weapon and three counts of second-degree kidnapping in New Hanover Superior Court this week, according to a news release from District Attorney Ben David.
On Jan. 24, 3013, four men reportedly entered a home at 4318 Crimson Court with handguns. The men pistol-whipped a person inside the home and restrained all three victims to a bedroom while they ransacked the residence, David said.
One of the suspects shot a 19-year-old man in his head, David said. All four suspects ran from the home after the shooting, taking with them a small amount of cash and three cell phones.
"[The victim] suffered a traumatic brain injury and was not expected to survive," David said. "After multiple surgeries and lengthy rehabilitation efforts, he has regained the ability to walk, but will forever suffer from other physical and mental limitations due to the nature of his injuries."
Authorities believe that Thomas was one of two suspects that could have fired the shot, David said.
Thomas was arrested in May 2013, when he was originally charged with attempted first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, first-degree burglary, three counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon and three counts of second-degree kidnapping.
His co-defendants in the case–23-year-old Antwan Nicholas David, 19-year-old Darius Molique Jones and 19-year-old Tajhil Niem Johnson-Webb–were arrested in April 2013 on the same charges.
Antwan David, Jones, and Johnson-Webb entered guilty pleas in September 2014, Ben David said.
Antwan David has an active sentence of more than six years in prison on charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury, two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon and second-degree kidnapping, according to the N.C. Department of Corrections.
Jones is serving more than six years in prison on charges of two counts of second-degree kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury. Johnson-Webb is serving a sentence of more than four years in prison on charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury.
"The suspects targeted the residence on Crimson Court because they believed that one of the victims was selling marijuana from that location," David said. "This case underscores that dealing drugs is not only illegal but it brings violent criminals to your front doorstep. The vast majority of armed home invasions we have seen over the last several years have involved."

But first things first:
What is Peat?
When peat is harvested, it's cut up into small sloppy slices of 'sod', stacked in pyramids and left to dry. Before you know it, well, 2-3 weeks later, you have yourself some tough peat bricks, which contain more energy than coal. Peat fires are an ancient Scottish tradition; the stuff is so compact that it burns piping hot for ages.
How is peat used in making Whisky?
Barley grain, or damp malt, is exposed to the smoke of a peat fire in order to arrest germination; a crucial part of Whisky production. Peat smoke produces chemicals called phenols and these are absorbed by malted barley. The amount of time the barley grain's exposed to the peat smoke determines the level of phenols, and therefore the spirit's flavour. For an idea, damp malt is usually dried for about 30 hours. Laphroaig dries its malt over peat fire for between 12 to 18 of these 30 hours.
How is peat in Whisky measured?
What does peat taste like?
Peat is not for everyone, granted. But when you want to try a peated dram, look for these
Peated Whisky brands
In other parts of Scotland, peated Whiskies can be found as well: Springbank, Benromach, Ardmore, Highland Park, Talisker, Leadig and Longrow, to name just a few with peaty expressions in their portfolios.
Looking for peated Whisky outside Scotland, India's Peated Amrut is an emerging classic, Japan is also big on the peat, particularly at the Yoichi distillery, Swiss Saentis is an absolute hit, whilst in New Zealand the Manuka Smoke single malt has recently been introduced.
Like your Irish? Try the very peated Connemara Peated Single Malt, a lovely liquid.
If you like your curry extra spicy and your espresso double, you might want to go all in on the peat and are starting to wonder right now:
What is the most peated Whisky in the world?
Go ahead, be our guest, just beware; this Whisky was born from a dare and your first sip of it will feel like you are actually biting into a clump of peat. No doubt future releases of the Octomore will look to build on this extreme peating, but only time will tell when they reach the upper limit.
So what do you say – peated Whisky yea or nay?

As of press time Monday, Marcell Zavislak was undergoing surgery at Brackenridge Hospital in Austin to reattach her hand, officials said. Zavislak is an employee of Gym-N-I Playgrounds, 1980 N. Interstate 35. New Braunfels Fire and Rescue personnel said the woman accidentally severed her hand while operating an electric power saw used to cut boards. The woman's hand was in the wrong place on the board when it was cut about 1:23 p.m. by a blade of the saw—operated by a foot pedal—that cuts from underneath the lumber, New Braunfels Fire and Rescue personnel said. Employees of Gym-N-I Playgrounds declined to comment about the circumstances surrounding the accident. The woman was alert and conscious about 2:15 p.m. when she was transported by Star Flight personnel, battalion chief Frank Gonzales said. The woman's severed hand was packed on ice, placed in a cooler and airlifted with the woman for possible re-attachment at the hospital, New Braunfels Fire and Rescue pet-sonnel said.

The good news is he won't be seeking a tax increase for maintenance and operations — although residents voted themselves a hefty 12.8-cent increase for debt service in this past October's $75 million bond election. The NBISD board of trustees meets at 7 p.m. in the board room of Tile Education Center, 430 W. Mill St. Next year's maintenance and operation rate will stay at the current $1.48 per $100 of assessed property value while the debt rate increases from 16 cents to 28.8 cents for a projected combined rate of $ 1.76.8, up from $ 1.64 this year. Under the possible new rate, the combined school tax on an $80,000 home would be $1,414.40, an increase of $102.40 from $1,312 this year. Rastellini said the school district would hold the line on the maintenance and operation rate by applying some significant belt-tightening. "Spending will be really tight. We're looking at having to make some significant cuts," Rastellini said. Last year, the district realized $37.9 million in revenues from local property taxes and state ftind-ing for education. This year, Rastellini projects revenues of $39.5 million. "We think we've pretty much got our state revenues and our tax revenues tied down to give us the rest of the budget," he said. "Now we've just got to find out how we'll make it work." Rastellini said district officials would work in coming months to decide where the cuts would come and how deep they will have to be to balance the district budget.

"The founders campaign will be the platform for us to achieve our goals." Members of the foundation expect to raise more than $175,000 with the "Fabulous Fifty Founders Campaign."

"Money raised for the foundation will be used to fund innovative educational opportunities, advanced technology and software, enrichment programs and projects and impact grants for teachers," Smith said.

Happiness came in the form of clean water for Priest Gebrehiwet Weldetsadkan, his wife Abrehet Reda, and their four children. Their lives changed when Water.org and its local partner, Relief Society of Tigray (REST), came to their community of Whidet, in northern Ethiopia.
Priest Gebrehiwet Weldetsadkan shares his story:
"The program has changed my family's life, as well as the community too. For instance, we previously used to get water from a distant river of poor quality where people were bathing and washing their clothes in the stream, along with the animals. As a result of the [Water.org and REST] program, we have clean water to drink. This is the most important thing for us.
We like the program because it solved the shortage of clean water in our village and enabled our kids to attend to their education properly.
The new water point reduces the walking distance by almost half an hour and for us. This is a big improvement. As a result, we are now spending our time on other, more productive, activities.
When we heard that Water.org and REST were going to construct a water point in the vicinity where we live, we were delighted. The whole community cooperated and participated in construction of the water point.
Some people even built latrines as part of the program. I attended one training focusing on hygiene and environmental sanitation practices. The training sessions were helpful, as it has enabled me to know more about health and sanitation, which I did not know before. We learned how washing our hands with soap before and after every meal, as well as after visiting the latrine, are the most effective ways to protect our health status.
I have already told many whom I know about the training and I will continue to pass it on to other parts of the community who did not get the chance to attend. We are using different [opportunities] such as the holidays, weekends, and meetings, to share what we learned with others.
Our community formed a water and sanitation committee to manage and maintain the water point on a daily basis. The program is managed by the committee, the community, and the hired guard. The guard and the committee are responsible for the day-to-day activities of the well. The committee regularly talks with the community about how they are performing their duty as a water committee; rules and regulations issued by the committee; the fees collected in order to use the well; and closing and opening the water point. Our community is capable because we are aware of the importance of this program and how we can sustain it.
The community will take on other programs after this. It requires the participation of all the beneficiaries in the day-to-day activities to make it last."
Thank you for helping us to make clean water a reality for people like Priest Gebrehiwet Weldetsadkan and his family!

NSG sources said that cyber criminals hacked the official website - www.nsg.gov.in - on Friday, Jul 1 and corrupted some of the official domains of the force.
The website domain has not suffered much damage and a technical probe has been initiated to identify the source of the attack which could have possibly existed outside the country, they said.
Officials said that they are working to fix the issue and ordered a probe to look into the matter.
"We are yet in the process of identifying the extent of damage. A probe has been launched to identify the hackers, who tried to breach the security. We will soon identify them. There is also suspicion that the attempt was made to deface the website by some foreign agency," said a senior NSG official
Anyhow, NSG spokesman rejected the report of confidential data breach and said that the hack was done by government agencies of India to check vulnerability of the site.
"The problem was detected on Friday... and we have ordered upgradation of security features on our site. There was no loss of crucial data. It was done by government agencies of India to check vulnerability of our site," NSG spokesperson said.
Earlier, the hacker group Anonymous hacked the website of National Informatics Centre (NIC INDIA) and posted their logo along with a message to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Similarly, some unknown hackers attacked Congress General secretary Rahul Gandhi's website and two servers created by him for family constituencies in UP. The hackers illegally accessed the password and tweaked the internet address to redirect users to an engineering college website.
In Dec 2010, Pakistani cyber attackers hacked CBI website and left a note saying "Pakistan Zindabad". Hackers claimed that the attack was in response to a cyber attack by Indians on Pakistan websites.

NEW ORLEANS – Behind the play of Tulane starting quarterback Lester Ricard and starting running back Matt Forté, the Green team overcame four early turnovers and an 18-0 deficit to tie the White team 18-18 in the 2006 Green Wave Football Spring Game. The 90-minute contest marked the end of 2006 spring drills for the Tulane football team.
Ricard, a senior from Denham Springs, took all the snaps for the Green team and completed 16-of-26 passes for 170 yards. Two of his completions went for touchdowns as he hit Brian King, who led all Tulane receivers on the day with five catches, on a 13-yard scoring play, and completed a 10-yard touchdown pass to Preston Brown to tie the score at 18.
"Lester looked good after he settled down," said Tulane Head Coach Chris Scelfo, a member of the White coaching staff on Saturday. "I was very pleased with the way he played today. He and Forté are on the same page and it was good to see them come back and play well after a rocky start. Matt has had the best spring since he's been here."
Forté, the only tailback in action for the Green Team, carried the ball 19 times for 156 yards and scored Green's first touchdown on a 45-yard run. He broke off several long runs and caught three passes for 13 yards.
King, a sophomore from Slidell, caught five passes for 71 yards while Brown, Tulane's leading returning receiver, caught three passes for 26 yards. A pair of receivers on the white team also reached the end zone as Jeremy Williams' three catches for 99 yards included a 55-yard score on a halfback pass from running back Ray Boudreaux for the first score of the day. Charles Harris caught four passes for 38 yards and his 13-yard touchdown reception from White QB Anthony Scelfo gave the White team a 12-0 lead.
"The kids got after it today," Scelfo said. "The players were excited about the game. They really have appreciated being at Tulane University and back in New Orleans this spring and wanted the chance to play in front of our fans. I thought there were some hard hits today, and that always gets the team going."
The White team had the early advantage as they scored on the halfback pass from Boudreaux to Williams, who hooked up again later in the game on a 31-yard completion, and then got excellent field position on their second drive on a botched snap on a punt attempt, leading to Scelfo's TD toss and a 12-0 lead.
White extended its lead to 18-0 when Taurean Brown tipped a Ricard pass at the line of scrimmage and Frank Morton caught the ball and rumbled 27 yards for the score. Morton had one-and-a-half sacks on the day, while Avery Williams collected one sack.
Defensively, Scelfo praised the efforts of Jordan Ellis, who collected three tackles and recovered a fumble, and James Dillard, who tallied five stops. Terrence Peterson led all defensive players with eight stops. Shreveport's Antonio Harris added five tackles, forced a fumble and had two tackles for loss. Safety Joe Goosby broke up three passes, made four stops and collected the other interception off a tipped pass.
"[Safety] Joe Goosby seemed to take charge back there today," said defensive coordinator Eric Schumann, who led the Green team along with offensive coordinator Frank Scelfo. "The effort on both sides was great today and I saw a lot of solid hits."
Boudreaux led the White team in rushing with 17 carries for 30 yards in addition to his 2-of-2 passing day. Scott Elliott completed 2-of-7 passes for 15 yards and Anthony Scelfo hit all four of his pass attempts for 43 yards.
Tulane will return to the practice field again in August before the 2006 season gets underway on Sept. 9 at Houston. The Green Wave play the first three games of the season on the road before opening their five-game home schedule Sept. 30 "Back Home in the Dome" versus SMU. For information on Tulane season tickets, contact the Green Wave Athletics Ticket Office at 504-861-WAVE.

28 Iyar, Which is May 24 This Year, Marks Two Significant Events
The 28th of Iyar is marked by the Israeli Ethiopian community as the memorial day for those who perished on their way to Israel.
A mass immigration of Ethiopian Jews ("Beta Israel") took place in the years 1980 – 1984, from their villages in the area of Gundar and through Sudan. Many of them, who dreamt for many years of making Aliyah to Israel, managed to flee Ethiopia and arrive at the Ethiopian-Sudanese border, where they waited in provisional camps to make Aliyah. The passage through Sudan was made possible by an unspoken agreement, only known to a few senior officials in Sudan. Agents of the Mossad awaited the immigrants at the Sudanese border and instructed them to hide their Jewish identity.
Jerusalem Day - A Historical Introduction
Jerusalem was divided during the War of Independence and nineteen years later was reunited as a result of the 6-Day War.
The battle of Jerusalem began on the morning of June 5, 1967 when the Jordanians opened fire along the entire cease-fire line. By that afternoon the Jordanians occupied the Governor's Palace.
The Central Command of the Israeli Army, under the command of General Uzi Narkiss, moved the "Har'el" brigade to the Jerusalem front. This force tore through the enemy positions of "Har Adar" and "Abdul Aziz" and conquered "Nebi Samuel".
Shiva: What You Need to Know
Questions and answers about traditions for the seven-day Jewish mourning period.
What is shiva?
Shiva is a period of mourning that generally lasts seven days, starting when the mourners return home from the funeral. During shiva, a mourner traditionally stays at home or at the home of the deceased or the deceased's other mourners, wears torn clothing or a torn black ribbon pinned to one's clothes (a practice known as kriah) and doesn't go to work or school. More details about kriah and other mourning practices can be found here.
The Omer Sacrifice
A Non-Animal Sacrifice
Most people know that in the Holy Temple we brought animal sacrifices. What many people do not know is that many of the sacrifices were not from animals at all! A great many of them were from agricultural produce. The Omer Sacrifice was one such offering.
The Omer Sacrifice was brought not from animals, but from barley.
The Torah commands us to bring, on the second day of Passover, the Omer Offering. Let us first discuss some of the meanings behind the Commandment, and then, Gop willing, we will discuss how it was actually done.
The Meaning of the Omer
Yom HaZikaron & Yom HaAtzmaut - Israeli Memorial Day & Independence Day
From ReformJudaism.org
Since the establishment of the State of Israel, four new holidays have been added to the Jewish calendar - Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), Yom HaZikaron (Memorial Day), Yom HaAtzmaut (Independence Day), and Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day). In Israel, these holidays are observed as national holidays.
The Israeli Knesset established the day before Yom HaAtzmaut as Yom HaZikaron, a Memorial Day for soldiers who lost their lives fighting in the War of Independence and in other subsequent battles.
Yom HaAtzmaut, Israeli Independence Day, marks the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948. It is observed on or near the 5th of Iyar in the Hebrew calendar, which usually falls in April, sometimes May.
Read more about the history, customs, an Israeli perspective and how to make this holiday a sacred day.
Last Day of Passover in the United States
What Do People Do?
Passover lasts for up to eight days (or seven days among Reform Jewish groups). There are many Jewish people who adhere to most of the Sabbath observances during the last day of Passover. Some may take a holiday around this time of the year. It is also a time for Jewish people to recite special blessings or prayers, as well as visit a synagogue or listen to readings from the Torah and eat a ceremonial meal.
Many Jewish families in the United States eat a ceremonial meal known as the Seder, which involves telling the story of the exodus from Egypt as well as eating various symbolic foods, such as meat of the paschal lamb and bitter herbs (recalling the harsh life of slavery).


text: On April 30, 2013, the FDA released its Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee ("ODAC") briefing document (the "Briefing Document") that, among other matters, took particular issue with the rigor of the tivozanib trial.The Briefing Document also highlighted the regulatory history of Tivopath, and the fact that the Company disregarded explicit FDA recommendations for the Company to conduct an additional Phase III trial, "[a] pre-NDA meeting was held in May 2012. Here, the FDA expressed concern about the adverse trend in overall survival in the single Phase 3 trial ('TIVO-1') and recommended that the sponsor [Aveo] conduct a second adequately powered randomized trial in a population comparable to that in the US." On this news the Company's shares fell $2.33 or 31.31% per share to close at $5.11 on April 30, 2013, on volume of over 15 million shares. On May 2, 2013, the ODAC voted by an overwhelming majority (13 to 1) to not recommend approval of the tivozanib, because, "the application for investigational agent tivozanib did not demonstrate a favorable benefit-to-risk evaluation for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in an adequate and well-controlled trial." On this news, Aveo shares declined $2.61 per share or nearly 50%, to close at $2.65 per share on May 2, 2013, on volume of over 15 million shares. Contact:Law Offices of Marc S. Henzel Marc S.

Phuket is back confirms Kings Cup sponsor
by Rob Kothe on 11 Dec 2005
Raimon Land Chameleon - 2005 Kings Cup Contender Worlds 2010
Yachting events around the world have been attracting support from corporations marketing up-market products in recent years. Companies like Rolex, Volvo, BMW, and Skandia have found an excellent match between their products and the yachting event participants.
Within Asia, Raimon Land, a major Thai property developer with significant developments in Bangkok, Pattya and Phuket, began supporting the Kings Cup in 2004 and became the major sponsor for this year's 19th Kings Cup.
Last year's December 26th Asian Tsunami caused significant damage in the region, but it seems the recovery has been rapid.
Raimon Land CEO Nigel Cornick explained; 'The initial post Tsunami period was difficult for Phuket, but since the middle of the year we've seen a significant recovery and activity is now back to pre-Tsunami levels. It's only taken twelve months, hotels are full and high season bookings are extremely strong.
'Phuket will go from strength to strength. It has all the fundamentals, superb climate, the beaches, the islands and the city infrastructure.
'We are delighted with the Phuket Kings Cup event and we have now confirmed our sponsorship for three years.
'It is one of our key sponsorship initiatives; it's a wonderful event and it fits well for us..it has synergy with our resort destinations and boating and yachting.
'While our Bangkok developments are high rise condominiums, high rise in the cities, in Phuket we develop in sympathy with the environment.
'We are always looking for great locations, and in conjunction with the 2005 Kings Cup we have launched our newest Phuket development, The Heights.
'With the development of the internet, people can work in setting overlooking the beach in Phuket and watch the boats, rather than sitting in offices in Bangkok or Hong Kong.'
Raimon Land yesterday played host to large numbers of visitors to the regatta and it's clear that these sponsors are at one with the event organisers, forecasting a great future for Phuket and the Phuket Kings Cup.

Wales need to pick themselves up this week after their defeat by Argentina, and full-back Leigh Halfpenny believes their response must be driven by sheer hard work.
Halfpenny kicked all Wales's points in their heaviest defeat at the Millennium Stadium for three years, but the reigning Six Nations champions have no time for navel-gazing with Samoa looming on Friday, followed by New Zealand eight days later and then Australia.
"It was a reality check I guess, a wake-up call, and it was difficult to take," Halfpenny said. "For us as players and a whole squad, it's how we bounce back and react to the disappointment on Friday night.
"We have worked hard, really hard, over the last two weeks, and we're going to have to work harder now. But I am sure the longer we are together during the autumn series, the better we will get."Reuse content

An intrepid veterinary team is gearing up to take on a tough challenge for charity – and will get pretty muddy in the process.
Vets and veterinary nurses from Spinney Lodge Veterinary Hospital in Northampton are in training for a Tough Mudder event on 21 May that will see them clamber over walls, crawl through tunnels, jump into ice buckets and get electrocuted over a 13-mile course.
Helping elderly pet owners
The team is raising money for The Cinnamon Trust, the only specialist national charity that seeks to relieve anxieties and issues sometimes faced by elderly and terminally ill people and their pets by offering dog walking, fostering and general care services and rehoming opportunities when needed.
Spinney Lodge vet Sue Atkins said: "This is an issue we see daily as veterinary professionals. People love their pets dearly and clearly benefit from having them, but they worry about what might happen to their pets if anything happens to them.
"The Cinnamon Trust is there to help and we're proud to help raise awareness and, if possible, some funds for this charity."
To sponsor the team, visit www.everyclick.com/spinneyaretough

I'm a warm-hearted, old-school gentleman explorer with really cool toys. INTJ. Browncoat.

The Window of Life
The beautiful Bacelona is home for fanciful masterpieces of Antonio Gaudi. I thought I'd had pretty good grasp on the architectures of Gaudi's but I didn't anticipate the subtle interior design when I get into some of his buildings.
This is the fanciful Casa Batlló. I was surprised by every turn when I was inside, and it was always inspirational. I wonder whether you have ever played Myst? This place reminded me of Myst--except Gaudi had come up with the ideas so long ago--in 1877! And those designs were not only for beauty but large sums of functionality built-ins too. Simply moving cool air from room to room is stylish and unexpected.
I took lots of other photos in Barcelon that are coming up soon. I tried my best to take good photos at the places where I'd been but caught up by the flu. And that put my productivity into half--so that's the bummer--yet also another good reason to go back!

The stance towards PKK's terror attacks and supportive comments by some members of pro-Kurdish political parties in Turkey is noteworthy.
Members of the People's Democratic Party (HDP), which passed the 10 percent threshold in the June 7 general election and took 80 seats in the parliament, as well as members of the Democratic Party of Regions (DBP), which has an active role in local government in eastern and southeastern Turkey, have made supportive comments about the terrorist organization PKK.
The comments and behavior of HDP and DBP politicians, which waited to call on the PKK to lay down its arms during the solution Process show these politicians stand beside the PKK.
Turkey launched the solution process in 2013 to end the 30-year conflict with the PKK, which has claimed the lives of more than 40,000 people.
The renewal of PKK's terrorist attacks in July marked the end of the fragile two-and-a-half year lull to fighting.


text: Just saw where the AKL might be closed until Sept. due to construction (conversion?) of the Villas. Can members share booking experiences for the rest of this year? I have a week at BCV early December and could add a day at AKV at beginning of our trip. I guess I'm asking if its a waste of time to call and see if anything is available. The points for a 1 BR with my cost per point figure is less than the cost of a regular AKL room. ( a studio would be much less) TIA, Bob


text: By Jon Machota / Special Contributor jmachota@************** 11:35 am on September 20, 2012 | Permalink Before the start of training camp this summer in Oxnard, Calif., Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team would wait to see how Felix Jones performs this season before offering a contract extension. The Cowboys' backup running back and primary kickoff returner becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2012 campaign. "We certainly haven't ruled out re-signing him, but we'll see how the year takes us," Stephen Jones said. Felix Jones has struggled through the first two games of the 2012 season. He hasn't been able to make defenders miss in the open field and he doesn't appear to have the same burst he showcased in previous seasons.

Crossbones, Cruicifix's & Pentacles ToMature
"I want him to be my first. I want to feel every part of him in and around me. I love him"- Patricia Teichroeb- 14
The depth of my desires to feel a love so deep from a boy at the age of fourteen is absolutely sad and degrading. When I came across the last 3 journals in the memory box I have kept, I knew these ones were for my eyes only. I knew if my daughter saw these she would be scarred for life. It was like the devil and the Lord God were at a constant battle for my heart. I could not decide which way I wanted to go. As I would cast a love spell, I would beg God to let it work . As I spoke to the dead in the graveyard, I would ask Jesus to protect me from evil spirits. Opening my palms to a psychic medium while boasting how no one can predict the future like Christ can. I was a mind game. Just a sick, mis guided human struggling to hang on to anything or anyone that would make me feel something. I didn't care if it was pain, anger, love, guilt or pleasure, i needed a sense of being and if I had to find it in dark places, nobody and nothing could stop me from going there. If played innocent in my own head, nobody could detect the twisted person I actually was inside.
As I reflected back to 2003, my eyes burned from so many tears. I was so alone in my world. I was anywhere in everywhere. I remember the embarrassment I felt when my mom found the notes from my first real boyfriend. I remember the anger I felt when she read my notes to my best friend about how many cigarettes I got for $4, off a friend. It seemed like my mother would come in waves. She would come in like a whirlwind now and then to rip apart my room and diaries to make sure I was okay, but that was all. Whatever she found was pointless because I was left alone that same day to stew in my filth and shame.
As I flip through these pages in my notebooks, I have a hard time remembering the events I wrote about. I read them as a bystander, not the person who went through the terror and pain. I feel anger towards the young girls parents and friends...I feel embarrassment for her as she walks around with clenched fists and an angry brow everywhere she goes trying to protect her pride and dignity. I wish I could go back and save her from what more was to come.
