At a recent Fallbrook Community Forum meeting, where leaders of non-profits give updates on their organizations, many attendees were surprised when Don Kuhn of the Fallbrook Aquatics Fund reported on the facilities being used by some of the boys who compete in aquatic sports at Fallbrook High School (FHS).
"The boys continue to have their locker room be a storage container and an outhouse," said Kuhn. "In the mornings after practice they're taking showers outside. That will probably be what we're going to focus on and try to change first – getting them some facilities that are more accommodating."
While the girls have complete locker room facilities located right off the pool deck, the boys locker room for physical education (PE) and sports participants is a short walk from the pool. Instead of making the brief walk to take advantage of the full facilities of the boys locker room, many boys on the water polo, swimming and diving teams change in the old trailer located poolside and use a pair of "porta potties" for their restroom needs. Some will use the shower located on the pool deck after morning practices that conclude at 7 a.m. even though the modest multi-spigot shower only dispenses cold water.
"In order for the boys to go to the school locker room for boys PE, they would have to walk out the gate, go on the backside of the old gym and then go into the locker room from there, and when you're in a Speedo, it makes it a little hard to do," said longtime Fallbrook swim coach Sean Redmond.
Thanks to the passage of Measure AA – a $45 million Proposition 39 general obligation bond measure proposed by the Fallbrook Union High School District (FUHSD) – last November, improvements will be coming to the school's swimming facilities.
In FUHSD's endorsement request application to the San Diego County Taxpayers Association regarding Measure AA, $1.2 million was earmarked for deferred maintenance of the main swimming pool from Series 2017 bonds, and $675,000 was to be put toward the diving pool from the Series 2020 bonds.
Redmond acknowledges the money isn't enough for a new pool but he does have some ideas for how it could be used.
"If we got a building – for a locker room and a coaches' room – that would be a nice start," said Redmond. "Replace all the starting blocks, replace the water polo cages, get a whole new scoreboard, probably resurface the pool, and the deck probably needs to be redone. There's a lot of cracks (on the deck). Our diving boards could use replacing. Some of those are cosmetic, but if we can't get a new pool, then let's try to do that."
FHS has two swimming pools.
"Our main pool is six lanes, 25 yards, which is what we use for all of our competitions for swimming and water polo," said Redmond. "The dive pool is 20 yards, five lanes."
Redmond added that the depth of the main pool goes from 3 1/2 feet to 6 feet, while the depth of the dive pool goes from six feet to 12 feet. The fact that the main pool isn't up to CIF regulations for water polo means the Warriors can't host playoff games.
"For water polo, we're too shallow at one end," said Redmond. "It needs to be at least six feet deep, and they prefer seven. We're 3 1/2 at the shallow end."
The girls water polo team lost its "home pool advantage" in the postseason because of the regulations.
"This season we were actually a higher seed, so we were the host for our CIF first round playoff game, and we had to find a facility to play in because this pool was not regulation," said Redmond. "We played the game at UCSD. Fortunately the team we had to play was University City and that's their home pool. So that worked out great, it was a great facility."
The Fallbrook girls defeated University City 9-6 in the playoff game.
The lack of a regulation size pool also prevents Fallbrook from hosting water polo tournaments, events that would bring business to Fallbrook, according to Redmond, who is also head coach of the Fallbrook Association Swim Team (FAST).
"Our club team hosts several meets here throughout the year and a lot of the families that come here will go into town – either here or in Bonsall – to go get food on their way in or on their way out," said Redmond.
The pools at FHS are the community's only pools and are open to the public in the summer for recreational swimming.
"This is for the community," said Redmond. "We run a 'learn to swim program' here and we open it up for rec swim in the afternoons in the summer. We also have adult lap swim. There's a group that comes in at 4:15 a.m. in the morning, another group that comes in at 6 a.m. And the high school program is using it in the mornings too. We have our club team here in the afternoon. It is, especially in the summer, used from basically 4:15 a.m. in the morning to 8 'o clock at night."
Despite being a bit long in the tooth – more than 45 years olds – and in need of upgrading, the pools at FHS are much appreciated.
"We're fortunate that we have a pool on campus," said Redmond. "There are a lot of schools, even in the north county, that don't."

I went to see "Finding Vivian Maier" on Wednesday April 2 at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. After watching this beautiful, haunting film I had so many thoughts I immediately decided I had to write them down. They tumbled into my Evernote app on my Note 3 and I've edited them a little.
Although I can still remember the film very clearly I knew that unless I immediately downloaded all the thoughts rushing through my mind as a result of seeing the story of this amazing and intriguing photographer I might forget the essence and words to describe my experience. After all photographs should speak for themselves, right? But there was so much more than simply photographs. There was a life that, though she is dead, seemed to come back through the documentary as we tried to piece together the story of her life and watch as the mystery unfolded.
Photographs tell a story… in fact they tell several stories. This film did more… it made me keep asking questions, especially "Why?" What made Vivian Maier hide her art from everyone? Perhaps because she was such a private person. It's scary to think that over 100,000 negatives would have been destroyed had it not been for John Maloof.
I was so glad I decided to go and see the film. Before I saw the link in one of my photography groups on Facebook I had never heard of Vivian Maier. It was a truly fascinating documentary about someone who was one of the world's most prolific street photographers of the 20th Century (even if it was awarded posthumously). She never shared her art, yet she took thousands of powerful photographs of Urban Chicago and New York in addition to almost every country in the world. She would have been famous for sure, but as we see in the film perhaps she would have preferred it this way, as she never craved the limelight and she clearly marched to her own drum.
The film was very moving as well as fascinating. All the time I found myself seeking to understand what drove Vivian Maier, wondering why she took the photographs she did. Back then Career Nannies did not go around taking photographs, yet this self-taught photographer went out combing the streets taking photographs of just about everything. Her framing, composition, her eye and the way she was able to get people to feel comfortable with her was just fascinating. I felt that this was a woman who marched to her own beat and while she may have been troubled in later years I really felt that she lived her life the way she wanted to. I cannot even begin to list all the amazing photography that I saw that night. I found myself wishing I could freeze frame and relive the experience of seeing all of them and that others would be able to see them too. Then I realized that through her photographs – I could do exactly that. And, I thought, wow, I would love to be able to take photographs like this and to see more photography like this too. What wonderful inspiration. [Read more…]

The Alberta government says in one case, people from the Philippines paid more than $26,000 in fees with the belief that their family members could come to work in Canada.
In the other, it's alleged $10,800 in prohibited fees were collected from Filipino workers and that employment opportunities were misrepresented.
Jonalyn Gandeza and Ira Nadnaden face a number of charges under the Fair Trading Act and the Employment Agency Business Licensing Regulation.
Both will make court appearances in Edmonton in January.

Twente pull clear in Holland; Sporting-Benfica stalemate; Kasimpasa stun Fener; 10-man Partizan win the Belgrade derby; Goals from around Europe
AZ Alkmaar 2 – VVV Venlo 0 (Eredivisie, November 28, 2009) Goals from Jeremain Lens and Brett Holman earned AZ Alkmaar all three points at home to VVV Venlo to leave them fifth in the table.
Willem II 1 – FC Twente 3 (Eredivisie, November 28, 2009) Wout Brama gave Steve McClaren's side the lead inside eight minutes but Christophe Gregoire levelled from the penalty spot on the quarter-hour. Miroslav Stoch, on loan from Chelsea, restored the Enschede side's lead and Bryan Ruiz clinched the points in the second half as Twente moved two points clear of PSV Eindhoven.
Heerenveen 3 – RKC Waalwijk 1 (Eredivisie, November 28, 2009) Viktor Elm scored twice before the hour mark to put the home side in control, but substitute Fred Benson gave RKC hope with 12 minutes remaining. Roy Beerens, though, ended any ideas that the visitors might have held about rescuing a point when he scored his side's third on the stroke of full-time.
Sporting Lisbon 0 – Benfica 0 (Superliga, November 28, 2009) Sporting and Benfica shared the spoils in a scrappy Lisbon derby where chances and quality play were at a premium. Javier Saviola rattled the crossbar for the Eagles while Miguel Veloso went closest for the hosts with a long range effort which was well saved by Quim who made an acrobatic stop.
Fenerbahce 1 – Kasimpasa 3 (Turkish Super Lig, November 28, 2009) Arguably the worst piece of goalkeeping of the year saw Fener fall behind to Kasimpasa inside 46 seconds as home goalie Volkan Demirel dropped a bouncing ball under no pressure whatsoever to hand Gokhan Gulec the easiest goal of his career. Two minutes later Dani Guiza equalised with a low shot only for Kasimpasa to retake the lead early in the second half through Cenk Isler. Sahin Aygunes completed the win with nine minutes remaining.
AEK Athens 1 – PAOK Saloniki 0 (Greek Super League, November 28, 2009) Gustavo Manduca's goal came in the 48th minute when he turned in a cross from Nacho Scocco, and he almost scored a second 16 minutes later when his blistering shot was palmed away by goalkeeper Kostas Chalkias.
Iraklis 0 – Ergotelis 2 (Greek Super League, November 28, 2009)
Shakhtar Donetsk 3 – Tavriya Symferopol 0 (Ukrainian Premier League, November 28, 2009) Having been thumped 3-nil by arch-rivals Dynamo Kiev last time out, Shakhtar wasted little time moving ahead against Tavriya as Adriano was freed through the middle and the Brazilian found the net with a calm finish. A simple tap-in from Ilsinho midway through the second half double Donetsk's advantage. A third from Adriano five minutes from time sealed the comfortable win for Shakhtar.
Zakarpattia 3 – Kryvbas Krivyi Rig 0 (Ukrainian Premier League, November 28, 2009)
Red Star Belgrade 1 – Partizan Belgrade 2 (Serbian Super League, November 28, 2009) Partizan outplayed league leaders Red Star despite being reduced to 10 men for most of the second half. They cut the deficit in the league table to one point after Brazilian striker Cleo, who became the first player in 20 years to move between the two Belgrade sides during the close season, scored a spectacular winner. Cleo curled in a superb shot from 20-yards after a Srdjan Knezevic own goal had cancelled out Lamine Diarra's early opener for Partizan.
Cracovia Krakow 3 – Piast Gliwice 2 (Ekstraklasa, November 28, 2009) It may have only been a consolation by fulltime, but Przemyslaw Ludzinski scored a stunning first time shot in the 13 minute which had momentarily seen parity between the sides.
Esbjerg 1 – Aalborg BK 1 (SAS Ligaen, November 28, 2009)

St Marys Cement, Canada, is doing a sharp about-face on the controversial issue of water testing for its proposed limestone quarry northeast of Carlisle. In a surprise announcement, the company now says it will do pumping tests aimed at proving the feasibility of its its scheme to keep the 10-storey-deep pit dry without affecting area wells, wetlands and streams.
Last January, after the Ministry of the Environment rejected results of a preliminary test, St. Marys refused to repeat it, saying it was confident it could win a quarry licence from the Ministry of Natural Resources, then apply for an Environment Ministry water-taking permit to operate the quarry.
Reversing that position, St. Marys vice-president John Moroz now says the company plans a new testing program next year to "demonstrate the effectiveness of its proposed groundwater recharge system and to ensure that we provide stakeholders with the technical information that will help to make an informed decision about our application."
St. Marys will now need a permit from the Environment Ministry to conduct the tests. It says it will outline its plan early in the new year. Published under Cement News

*WARNING: This post is loaded with pictures. There is something about my DIY lighting posts that come with a lot of pictures. My last lighting project I decided to break into two posts: Part 1 and Part 2 because there were so many pictures. Okay, you have been warned. 😉
I get excited to share every project here, but there are certain projects that I get super excited to share. Those projects usually have little or no money invested and make a big impact or change.
These DIY Headboard Sconces did both.
After we made over our daughter's bedroom, I felt inspired to make a few changes in our bedroom. Then, I felt inspired to start a kitchen makeover at the same time. (It is just the way things go around here). Since we have been at a standstill in the kitchen (we are waiting for countertops to be installed), we started this lighting project in our room.
The inspiration for this project came when I saw these amazing sconces on Painted Fox Treasures*.
Hello, beautiful.
I love these sconces. They would look so great on our barn door headboard, but the $348 price tag quickly made them not an option.
I was determined to come up with my own version.
A trip to a local thrift store had the DIY sconce gods shining down on me.
I say that for a few reasons:
- You never find a pair of anything at a thrift store.
- You never find a pair of anything that is going to work exactly for what you need at a thrift store.
- And, you never find a pair of anything that is going to work exactly for what you need for under $10 at a thrift store.
I scored two of these lamps for $4.38 each!
After some alterations, they were going to be perfect sconces for our headboard.
Like most rooms in our home, our bedroom is small so I need to get creative for space and storage. The back wall is the only wall our bed can go and why the original owners only put one window in the left corner of this wall is beyond me. It makes everything feel off-centered. We have a king size bed so we don't have tons of space for side tables. I have used small, metal stools as side tables because they serve the purpose but don't take up a lot of space. I like to read at night so lamps on the side of the bed is essential. The problem is that they take up way too much room on the stools. I knew sconces on the headboard would take care of that problem.
This is how we did it.
I took the lamps apart and spray painted the parts we were going to use black.
Matt has made so many DIY lights around here so he knows how to rewire different things to make them work as lights.
We were only using the "arm" of the lamp (the base wasn't needed) so we had to take the wires out, paint the arm and then push the wires back through. This was kind of tough, but we were able to push it through.
We figured out where we wanted the lights to hang and Matt drilled the holes in the headboard.
We threaded the wires through the headboard.
Then, it was time to put the light back together.
We used small clamps over the arm to secure it to the headboard.
Matt put a second clamp at the bottom of the arm to hide the wire coming out and through the back. Genius!
The switch on the cord needed to be assessable so we used electrical staples to nail the switch at a spot that was easy to reach when we are in bed.
They are simple, quaint and take up no extra space on side tables.
Mission accomplished.
I am in love with these sconces! Once I find new bedding and we make a new closet door like the one we did in our daughter's room, our room should be done for a while. 😉
The best thing about these lights is that they swivel!
We can move them from side to side so they are exactly where we need them.
I must have some kind of "table" on the side where I sleep. I am the one who gets up a lot earlier than anyone else so the alarm is on my side. But, look at all the space I have on that suitcase now!! No lamp to compete with.
Even though these aren't exactly like the sconces I fell in love with from Painted Fox Treasures, they are perfect because:
- They are unique.
- We made them.
- They solved a problem.
- They fit the room.
- They cost less than $10!
Sounds like the perfect sconce to me.

I have written about the statue of Nebuchadnezzar several times on this blog for a very specific reason. The "Specific Reason" has been the most difficult thing to explain. I am going to try to do this again.
In 2007 I was shown that the world exists in chaos. Every religion, every society, every aspect of humanity is in disorder. I presented the Statue as representative of the nations or nation systems that men have raised up in chaos. Whether Judaism, Christianity, certainly Islam today all have failed to represent the creator and what the Creator is doing.
Please, stick with me for a moment!
It is for me anyway, like watching the construction of something fantastic in the background of chaos. I see the rules and laws and dynamic of the Kingdom of God being prepared while a facsimile or anti world is what we have evolved in. Our construct is full of murder, hate, lawlessness. Our governance is based on lawlessness. Our laws are constructed because of lawlessness. The laws that we create have no end because life for all of us has no order!
God showed to me, ISRAEL...not the Jewish people or the wisdom, ability of the Jewish people. Rather, he showed to me what he is doing as opposed to what they have failed to do. The same is true with the church. He showed to me what he is doing in the nations...The church is what men have created.
I don't see the Bible as a Christian book at all. I don't see Christianity as a saving place for the souls but rather as a part of the statue of Nebuchadnezzar. I see every religion on earth as part of the reflection of chaos which casts a shadow of darkness everywhere.
I see the Bible as a Legal Text, Blueprint, Template of the order of God. What he is doing follows what is written. I see our modern interpretation of this book as the very thing that causes the statue of Nebuchadnezzar to have life. The problem is that the statue moves across the earth and through the centuries bringing death and destruction. Islam is killing everything. So too, did the church and remember, the CHOSEN people were kicked out of the promised land twice!
Nevertheless, Israel is the pinnacle of what God is doing so that the nations can be redeemed from the hell we live in. (Not Judaism)
I thank YHVH for Pastor Mark Biltz & Rico Cortes because these two men are showing to me how to understand what God placed into my brain in 2007. Understanding [while continuing to study] TORAH with the Gospel intact and Ancient Near East Covenant Treaty Law is helping me to see better what HaShem (If you insist) is doing....Meanwhile, I am at odds with the statue and all of those who live according to what the statue represents...Chaos!
Joy that most in life cannot see. YES I want to quit doing all of this but I can't! I cannot stop trying to share this. I have very few allies, no money and no way to do any of this unless the God that showed me all of what I see provides. He does but, he does so according to what he is doing, not what I want.
Terrible times must happen soon....The statue is going to fight hard against the redemption. This is the other reason I cannot stop. I know that this is coming. When YHVH is ready the statue and everything it represents will be obliterated. I feel like I am standing at the base of the statue screaming to the majority of humanity, "Get out of this thing, it is going to be destroyed." For the record, the statue hates me too. It hates my children and your children.......
I have no academic credentials and thank GOD I have never been seminary trained. However, I have recently been introduced to the work of John H. Walton who has added much to what Rico Cortes and Pastor Mark Biltz have shared with me in order that I understand the radical life change that happened to me in 2007. I have previously read George Mendenhal's work as well as Meredith Kline I am still trying to connect to what God made my eyes to see, always....
The DVD of David and Goliath is also an attempt by me to show how the statue of Nebuchadnezzar is a pattern of God destroying a giant that corrupts mankind. I keep sharing this because it is the only way I know to explain what happened to me!
IS or the Islamic State is now [in our generation] the current religion controlling the movement of the statue.
Finally, until the next post: I don't know how to do the next thing nor do I have the money to do it. Really! I do not have wealth, do not follow skin color and am religious-less.....[and so it goes!]

Unbiased product opinions can be very priceless when it comes to making major shopping for decisions, and Client Stories is without doubt one of the most respected names in product rankings. The most effective plan of action for this is to set a budget and then stick with it. In the event you find which you can't get the mattress or topper that fits the criteria you listed as important to you, chances are you'll find that you will need to take another look at your price range or decide which factors you're prepared to forgo to remain inside the preliminary price range.

Properly pregnant with baby #4 and the childhood queen mattress we had been sleeping wasn't slicing it. My husband's parents bought a Natures Sleep a couple of years again, and simply purchased a 2nd one for another residence, they extremely really useful this mattress to us. We did a ton of research on might brands of mattresses, but finally bought this one because of their suggestion.
Honestly, the perfect combination in my guide - a layer of 4 lb. density reminiscence foam, a layer of pure latex (since artificial latex doesn't supply the anti-microbial and anti-mud mite qualities that 100% natural latex does-these organisms are repelled by pure latex), and a few good excessive density help foam creating the mattress foundation", core, or base. A super characteristic can be an outer cowl that breathes and sleeps cool, preferably made from a non-poisonous organic material, since most artificial fabrics are sprayed with hearth retardants and who knows what else. However Casper, Leesa Bed, Yoga Bed, and another company referred to as Futon Covers On-line, which affords their FCO Memory Foam Hybrid, are the important thing gamers.
This implies you could be assured that our reminiscence foam is made out of quality elements, is free from dangerous chemicals, and can final. Our memory foam mattresses characteristic CoolRest Gel®, the most technologically superior strain-relieving reminiscence foam in the world. The CoolRest Gel® reminiscence foam we use in our mattresses sleeps cooler, rebounds quicker, and immediately conforms to your physique. Our foam was designed particularly to face up to the compression and nonetheless last 20 years.
We can safely say that the froth mattress topper is ample to take care of the outdated sagging mattress you might have at house. The gel beads even have a stronger affect on the mattress topper than you'll think about. Yes it can't immensely settle down the mattress however regulates the warmth content material in order that the temperature does not rise any further. Furthermore, coupled with the mattress foam, it has therapeutic healing options for any type of bone related ailments.

An aircraft carrying 5 crew and 53 passengers has crashed into a river after hitting a bridge on Penghu Island. The TransAsia flight GE 235 crash has left 15 people dead according to reports.
The aircraft took off from Taipei Songshan Airport on route to Kinmen islands, since the crash people have taken to social media to upload the TransAsia flight GE 235 crashing into the bridge.
Before crashing into the river the TransAsia Airways flight GE 235 banked rather sharply hitting a taxi, which then clipped the bridge.
Flight GE 235 took off at 10:53 am local time today (Wednesday).
Photos and videos are emerging on social media; we have added two clips of the ATR 72-600 turboprop plane crash below from people on the bridge at the time of the accident.
@ChannelNewsAsia is tweeting on a regular basis to supply TransAsia flight GE 235 news updates; the latest tweet shows a map of the route and where it crashed. Another tweet reports the Taiwan military are now helping in the search and rescue efforts. Channel NewsAsia has also reported that the flight recorders have been recovered from the flight GE 235 wreckage.

We Are So Glad You Are Here!
It's not easy visiting a new church for the first time! Sometimes you feel out of place and nervous. Do I belong here? Will I be welcomed? Will the people be friendly? Will they ask me for money? Will my kids enjoy it? How should I dress?
When you show up at ECC, there are certain things that you can expect to find. You can expect to be greeted at thedoor with a smile, a bulletin, and a handshake. In fact, don't be surprised if you find it nearly impossible to turn around without somebody smiling, shaking your hand, saying hello, or even hugging you.
Thanks for visiting the ECC Website. Our hope is that you will become a part of all that God is doing through ECC. We welcome you in advance and want to thank you for coming to "check us out."

At ECC, our emphasis is to provide a way to worship God through uplifting and inspiring worship music
At ECC, we provide a faith-building Bible curriculum, skits, Christian crafts, song, and Bible games for our children and our youth.
At ECC, the message is Christ centered and grounded in the Bible. Every sermon is powerful, fun, full of fervor, and practical.
At ECC, We're a faith community of believers from diverse backgrounds, church upbringing, geographical origins, and unique histories... joined together by the Culture of the Cross.
What is the dress code? At ECC there is no particular dress code. We have people that wear jeans and T-shirts as well as members that wear suits and ties. What you wear is not important. Our focus is not on a certain mode of dress, but on Jesus Christ. "The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price." Revelations 22:17

The puppy was rooting around in the garage yesterday and came out with a leaf in her mouth. I took it from her and was surprised to see that there was writing on it. It's left over from one of my kids' games. It says "a ticket... 1 adult and 2 children". Fancy that! I hopped onto Google+ and asked what it might be a ticket for. The suggestions are below. Personally, I'm taking it as a reminder to get out more. So today, that's exactly what I did. Today's little adventure was to return to a place I discovered in March called Swin Dale. We didn't have long, but it was great! Below are the snaps...
The Ballad of Tokyo Zombie (2013)
"I'd like to see you write a ballad about 'Tokyo Zombie'. Consider that a challenge."

everything crazy in Japan. Have you ever heard of arse-swords?

Planet of the Apes TV Series (1974)
One of my earliest VCR memories is of watching Planet of the Apes some time in the late 70s. The label on the tape was hand-written and actually read "Plant of the Apes" (a film I'd happily pay to see). It came from a video shop in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, but that's a story for another day.
|Okay, so I've just learnt how to make animated gifs. I will try to not
overuse my new skill... but yep... there are quite a few in this post.
Stop reading now if you are prone to epileptic fits.

Hanging On
Today I took a break from the demands of our new puppy to put together a quick tune for you on my pimped Skylark Ukulele.
I've only gone and done a quick version of the Manic Street Preachers' song I talked about in a recent post called "Hanging On". You already know that I love this song.

Pimp My Skylark - Finito!
I've finished pimping my Skylark ukulele! I saved the most painful and difficult part until last.
What a journey!
What a journey!
|I've order many parts and tools from China for my projects
over the years. Look what arrived this week. I don't remember
ordering it. Perhaps there's been a mix-up at the post office?
I hopped on Google+ to see if anyone could help me to
identify it. +shankti oviedo was quite impressed with my
"nice modern lamp". Thankfully, +Gunnar Green was on hand
to point me in the right direction. Apparently, this is quite
a common tool in the ukulele build process... It's a
wood-hardener! Ha ha! Mystery solved!

Pimp My Skylark - Godzilla!
I've been doing a bit of a Hulbert and working on Pimping my Skylark ukulele pretty much every day this week. It's only Wednesday and I can already see the end in sight! Here's a run-down of what I've been up to...
|Here's the Skylark as we'd left it in my last update. I'd painted on my
custom Yusaku Hanakuma design. But hold on a second... that Kaiju
wasn't there the last time I looked! That's right... +Ukulele Russ suggested
that I needed a Godzilla-type creature to finish the look. Using a little
bit of photoshop magic I added a Japanese monster just to see what it
might look like. It's been very well received as a concept, and I do like
it myself, but I'm not adding it to my design on this particular ukulele.
Sorry Russ~san... maybe next time!

McCloud Services Provides Tips for Navigating Through FSMA
To prevent widespread food illnesses created by improper processing or sanitation practices, FSMA was introduced by the FDA to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by implementing proactive controls as the foundation of the law. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 48 million people (1 in 6 Americans) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die each year from foodborne diseases. FSMA signed into law by President Obama enables the FDA to better protect public health by strengthening the food safety system.
A comprehensive pest management plan is a critical component to a FSMA compliant food safety program.
"Food facilities are required to implement a written preventive controls plan, which includes sanitation maintenance and pest management practices. The goal is to build a proactive pest management program based on identified risks and encourage the food facility to operate under a preventive mindset versus reactive," said Patricia Hottel, technical director of McCloud Services.
There are several elements that go into an effective pest management program under FSMA guidelines, including performing a risk analysis and thorough inspection of past pest pressures, establishing preventative controls, conducting ongoing monitoring and visual inspections and identifying corrective actions to control the source through root cause analysis for long term success. Electronic documentation is also a key component in program development, verification and maintenance, and proper evaluation must occur on a regular basis.
McCloud Services discusses these critical program elements required for a FSMA compliant food safety program in its article "Implementing FSMA Rules for Pest Prevention & Corrective Actions."

Los Enchiladas! Trailer (1999)
01 January 1999 Comedy 74 mins
About a half dozen slacker dudes dwell at their jobs at Los Enchiladas, the local Mexican sit-down joint. The 2 folks in "management" are both into their own authority and fill their days creating wild & stupid rules for the working folk. By mid-film, however, the manager has fled the cops after beating the crap out of a competing restaurant's dancing gyro... and the "Chef" has jumped ship to join a beatnik poet's groups which specializes in exotic menu-writing. This leaves the minimum-wage crowd to run the place as they see fit.... and they see a lot of debauchery, booze, and free steak in their future.
Watch the official Los Enchiladas! 1999 trailer in HD below or find more Los Enchiladas! videos on Vidimovie.

By Stephen Bateman
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The 21-year-old Butterfield has been utilised by manager Lennie Lawrence as both a right-sided defender and midfielder, and he told the club's official website that he is quite happy with that arrangement.
"I'll play in whatever position the gaffer wants me to play in," he said. "I enjoy it in both areas, I'll just have to wait and see what the gaffer decides."
Meanwhile, airline chief Huxford (pictured) has revealed details of an audacious bid to seize control of the club from existing chairman Peter Furneaux.
Having been forced out of the club by Furneaux and co-conspirator Dudley Ramsden at the end of last season, Mr Huxford now feels that it is his duty to try and salvage the club's future by offering to buy up any available shares.
"The offer is there to everybody," he enthused. "I am prepared to take all their shares off them, at a price, until I have enough to enable me to run the club.
"This club simply cannot be run by committee. Throughout football the successful clubs tend to have one man calling the shots. The board has been beset by personality clashes for as long as I can remember."
A self-confessed Grimsby Town fanatic, Mr Huxford has already negotiated a major financial deal for the club, although he says that the investors simply will not entertain the idea of working with the Furneaux-Ramsden regime.
"They will only [come in] if there is someone in charge with a vision for the future and the energy to carry it through. They feel they cannot deal with the current board."
While the former vice-chairman is keen to take the club forward, he expressed his disgust that the present board is currently trying to strangle the club's ambitions by down-sizing their plans to build a new stadium - a project in which Mr Huxford was a prime mover.
"What sort of message does this convey about where the club is going?" he questioned.
"All they will get is another Glanford Park."
Although it seems likely that his ambitious plans will be scuppered by the board's refusal to entertain what is undoubtedly a brave and far-sighted ambition, it is clear that Grimsby Town fans are firmly behind Mr Huxford.
A recent poll conducted by an independent website indicated that a staggering 90% of supporters back his proposal.
If, as is likely, the move is suppressed, it seems certain that both Furneaux and Ramsden can expect a hostile reception from the Blundell Park faithful when the new season kicks off.

DescriptionChateau Montrose 2008
St. Estephe
Bottle (12)
"...the 2008 Montrose is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot picked between 29 September and 15 October. It has a far superior bouquet compared to the underperforming 2006 with black fruit, minerals, fern and briary. It is very composed, almost understated, yet clearly with great potential. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, a fine line of acidity, powerful for the finish but with impressive mineralité and tension on the persistence finish. It is quite an audacious 2008 and one of the finest wines of the vintage." (94 pts. Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Mar. 2017)

LOL! Brings back memories.
I discovered that by plugging into the input of my tape deck, simultaneously pressing 'record', 'play' and 'pause' and cranking the record level, I could get distortion! I had a homemade "stack" consisting of a Teac tape player plugged into a Marantz receiver into a Radio Shack power amp and finally into four Pioneer home stereo speakers. That sucker was LOUD!!!
Those days were a long time ago. Now I've got a proper guitar amplifier.

Your most regretted purchase?-I need to vent!
I'd love to hear what everybody else bought and then regretted, or maybe a purchase that was later found for a bargain. I am losing my mind over our Broyhill furniture! It is less than two years old and looks like 10. The seats sink two feet when you sit down and the cushions went from being overstuffed to smushed. (Then to add to it, our kitty got mad at us and peed on it, so I am freaking out!) I was under the misunderstanding that if you bought brand name=expensive stuff it would last longer, but guess not. Forget that wonderful warranty stuff- more aggrevation! I am just wishing hubby would have put his foot down and convinced me to buy something in the 100's range instead of 1000's so I wouldn't be so obsessed about it getting ruined. Of course the salesperson said it was more durable, any stains or problems would be taken care of etc etc. I stressed that it would be our everyday family room stuff and she insisted it would withstand even my 6'3" hubby lounging on it day after day! How could I have been so gullible? Grrrrrr - I didn't want to ever become a plastic furniture cover lady. So, what have you guys bought and then kicked yourself over?May 25, '04This totally isn't a big thing, but it KILLS me just the same. :angryfire
Since high school, I've been a magazine FREAK! I buy at least 6 of them a month, at about $4 each. Most of them, if subscribed to, would be $1 per issue instead. Subscription cards fall out of these things onto my lap ALL THE TIME, but do you think I've ever filled a single one out to get a cheaper rate? Noooooooo! I just throw them out, tear them up, use them to blot liptstick, etc.
I know it sounds petty...but check this out:
6 magazines per month for the past 10 years, at $4 each = $2,880
6 magazines per month for the past 10 years, at $1 each = $720
Do you think anyone on Ebay would want to buy the last 10 years of Cosmo or People? Don't know what's worse - spending all the money or being a packrat.May 25, '04i have the same complaint as you, buffalolpn,about furniture; my 6'4" husband went thru so many lazy boys that i finaly bought him a huge leather chair and automin (sp?). it was very expensive ($1,000+) and it has a broken arm board and the stupid wheels on the automin never stay in the bottom, but all in all it is outliving the lazy boys... even the one that boasted a lifetime warranty! and he loves the thing. my couch and love seat must be cousins to yours!
i have, in my lower income days, inheirited furniture that is 20+ years old and in better shape than my 5yo stuff. why is it that the manufacturers are just so narrow minded about profit? don't you think that if one company made furniture worth buying then all of us would advertise it for them and it would sell out all of the time?
nursing seems to be going the same way.... let me explain.... the mgmnt is all about profit and numbers... but goes about boasting quality (just like the manufacturer)... then we, the caretakers get overwhelmed by the numbers and the lack of suplies and equipment that actually works... we can't give the care that our bosses boast and john q. public feels less than cared for.
it all boils down to us, as consumers, needing to keep our voice and use it to make the manufacturer and the service industries know that we won't stand for it anymore! write, write ,write, and call those 800#'s ...then pass it on in the community when you get bad or GOOD service/ products.... we need to be heard and the more of us who yell out the more they will listen and change.
ok.... so iguess i needed to vent too!
thanks for the soap box! :chuckle i feel better now...May 25, '04My house. It's in a nice neighbor, perfect house but I hate it. The sprinkler system doesn't work after $2,000 and the yard is dead, turns out we need new wells. The tile needed replacing because one day out of the blue it rose up and cracked in the living room, the roof leaked, on and on. I hate this house, it's nothing but a money pit. We got a new roof and will be in debt a few years because it's a nice metal $12,000 roof. A lot of overtime paid $5,000 for new tile around the house, but the baseboards still need putting down and we need to paint. On and on and on. The previous owner of this house was very cheap we are finding out.May 25, '04We brought a new love seat and couch 4 to 5 years ago.$1900.They still look pretty good,but are beginning to show some wear and tear from Kids and Animals.As long as we have kids at home,we fiqure nothing is going to last very long.As for regretting buying something.I once brought a car for my wife that she said she thought it was nice.After I bought it,turned out she thought it was nice,but would never own one.May 25, '04We bought an extended warrenty on our used Chevy van. It is suppose to be bumper-to-bumper coverage!!! So far anything that has gone wrong, wasn't covered under the warrenty!!! I could shoot the salesman who talked us into that one!!! Of course, I also want to kick our rear ends for not looking more closely at the fine print!! I would NEVER buy another one!! I guess it's one of those life lessons you learn!May 25, '04I buy old furniture now just because of my kiddos. Once they are old enough to respect it better, I will get better (I'll be able to afford it then too!) Our biggest regretted purchase I think is the truck that we have now. My husband loved it and really needed it at first for the work he was doing. Then I got preggo with our third child (accident, big time..on BC and all!) and it has needed so much work that we have put waaaaaaaaaay too much money in this thing. It is getting sold as soon as we get another vehicle to replace it.May 25, '04Hmm, bought a couch, oversize chair and ottoman at Ward's in Chicago (now out of business, of course) which looked ok and felt comfortable, but the couch squeaked every time you'd sit down on it.
Then when we finally replaced it with a leather couch our kitty peed on it downstairs, then on the new leather one all in the same day! It's a no-win situation sometimes.
We ended up taking kitty to the vet because I was so angry I was ready to put him to sleep and he has -- are you ready for this -- hyperthyroidism, and has to take tapazole. It has improved but hasn't completely erased the problem.
The vet suggested thyroid eradication therapy, but then he'd be on synthroid so he'd still have to take pills. He's 14 years old and I'm not about to put him thru that. I love my kitties, both of them, they are my babies, but some of the therapies that the vets suggest just seem to be to make a profit on someone who's had her kitties for more than a decade!May 25, '04Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha: welcome to the homeowners association. I could live on a piece of plywood and bricks for a couch and milk crates for the rest of the furniture...........but I'm married, so THATS not going to happen. Fortunately, my wife has frugal (yet expensive)tastes and we get furniture on HER recommendation. Also, she can take an old piece of crap furniture and make it look brand new.
A case in point: She bought an old couch, with wooden, curly, back and arms that smelled a little like kitty feces. She ripped off the old fabric and cushions and replaced them with a purple, polka dotted material (not my first choice, but heck, I just pay the bills), new cushoin insides, sanded and restained the wood parts and turned that old piece of crap into a marvel. I said we ought to sell it......she said "Hah".........well,thats not what she really said, but this is a G rated site.
My newest "regrettable" purchase, was that I bought a 2003 Tacoma Toyota truck. Why that is regrettable, is that as much camping/fishing that I do, I should have spent the extra $10K and bought a 4 wheel drive. I mean, what's the difference between owing the bank $15K and owing $25K? Oh well, she's a good little truck.
Walter the NurseMay 25, '04My car. It's a timebomb waiting to happen. Transmission's days are numbered, needs all 4 brakes and rotars, oil leaking from somewhere, something wrong with the exhaust system. And the engine light is on continuously, but hell if i know why.
I refer to it as a spiritual car. Everytime i get in it, i pray that it'll get me where i'm going and not leave my butt sitting on the side of the roadMay 25, '04I just started painting my bedroom. I hate how the color looks under my lighting in the room. As soon as I am done with my coffee, I have to go back to home depot (ugh) and see if we can't remix it. It was supposed to be a light peach and looks like neon melon. Not exactly restful. I kept thinking once it dried it would look better. Wrong!
I need a new couch too. But mine is 10 years old and sagging from my dog jumping on it.
I always look for a couch with 3 seat cushions. You can switch them around as they start to wear and avoid that sag in the middle business. There are other signs to look for with furniture to tell if it's well made. You can spend alot money, but it doesn't mean the furniture has been made well. Look at the joints, are they glued or dovetailed? Stuff like that helps a little.

Master Yi Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Master Yi is mostly played AD and I'm sure you all are tired of seeing AD Master Yi builds. Well you'll see another one here, but one major difference this guide presents a Yi that should never leave lane unless he dies or can get an item.
This guide covers all of my baselines in a Master Yi shredder build. So lets begin.
- Can stay in fights longer
- Allow your team to escape
- Deals MASSIVE damage due to its runes and masteries
- Squishy
- Can't own unless you get fed (Up to 3 kills before 2 deaths)
- Champ doesn't work without Wriggle's or Bloodthirster
I'll start with the runes.
The reason I choose these runes is because:
1. The damage is a HUGE advantage early game when you dont have good items.
2. The armor penetration Quintessences should help take down those annoying tanks until you get Madred's Bloodrazor
3. Even if you get off to a bad start early game these runes can help you get those quick kills under tower.
So as you can see these runes will probably fit "The Shredder" name and will most likely get those kills when you need them.
Other runes that can be put in is: Attack Damage Quintessences or Magic Penetration Marks.
Hints for Top Lanes or Bot Lanes
These are quick hints depending on wether or not you wanna got top or bot. (THIS YI SHOULD NEVER MID)
Top Hints
1. When you go top you will wanna go with an AP Carry such as Fiddlesticks or a Heavy Hitter such as Wukong
2. When you go top its easy to get ganked by those annoying Junglers, so if necessary buy a ward between the 1st 10 minutes the game.
Bot Hints
1. When going bot you should probably team up with an Ashe so she can slow them for you allowing either you or her to secure the kill. (This Combo almost never fails with em unless you get a horrible Ashe in which case I feel sorry for you)
2. Now when going bot always stay close to the bushes so you can assassinate your opponents, with a sly Alpha Strike.
3. This last hint is not for Yi but for someone who teams up with Ashe on bot. When playing with an Ashe its easy for you to tell her when to use her ulti, She should probably use it to hit Enemies under tower so you can go in and Alpha Strike then run out.
Those are a few hints for Yi soon I will talk about Sneaky tactics that can be used to secure those kills.
Skill Sequence
So as you can see this Skill Sequence is nothing special except for 1 Difference I usually dont get a lot of W until the end cause your gunna have a LOT of life steal so you wont be needing a heal.
These item choice are for EXTREME damage.
1. Vampiric Scepter this item is a basic life steal itme meant to keep you in the lane longer early game. (Hint: Use the Vampiric Scepter on minions under your tower to heal)
2. Berserker Greaves These common attack speed boots are meant to be bought STRAIGHT!
3. B. F. Sword
4. The Bloodthirster This godlike blade froged from the depths of **** is going to be your main item. Once you get this item use it in solo lanign adn jungling whenever you can. (To stack its abilty)
5. Bilgewater Cutlass This item is mainly grabbed for a short time. Its active hurts and it's lifesteal works well with this build.
6. Zeal The reason Zeal is here before Phantom Dancer is becaus eit is a useful item but Phantom Dancer is not needed at this point instead afetr Zeal get...
7. Infinity Edge Using this along with all of your other items so far is godlike power. Getting this is useful because of its critcal strike and its attack damage.
8. Phantom Dancer Finish Zeal with this item and then afterward get...
9. Madred's Bloodrazor Of course you must get this because by now all of their team will be beefy and you are their to ruin their tanky day.
10. Youmuu's Ghostblade This would be the item you sell Bilgewater Cutlass for
Bad Sides To This Item Build
. This item build is very expensive.
. This item build can be easly destroyed by focusing Yi in Team Fights.
. Finally this item build is going to take at least half game to finish the other half you should be getting kills like crazy.
Replacement items
1. Instead of getting Berserker Greaves snag Boots of Swiftness for those get away champs.
2. Instead of Madred's Bloodrazor you can get another Phantom Dancer if you don't have that much time to get gold.
And thats it for the Item Build.
Summoner Spells
Exhaust always works for me for many reasons. Teemo with his BlindShot and Hecarim with his Devastating Charge
Flash is a staple kind of spell it is useful for escapes stealing Baron Nashor and jumping in and out of tower range, also for jumoing that one step further to get that one last hit on a enemy.
enter/return here
enter/return here
enter/return here
enter/return here
These are spells that I would not recommend and spells that could be useful in other situations
These would be the ones I wouldn't get (Please note that I am still experimenting with all of these spells)
These are the ones I would probably use to replace
Ghost For almost the same reasons as flash except that it cant be used to dodge that last
skill shot.
Cleanse This one would be good so that you
can quickly get rid of all of that CC on Yi.
Heal This isn't all that useful for LS Yi
because you get so much Life Steal anyway but in
case you need a quick jolt this is the spell you'd
Surge This spell ain't that useful because all
it does is updates your AP and AS I wouldn't get it
unless I'd have to.
Heal This spell can be used to replace Exhaust for
all the same reasons as Flash.
Ignite This spell is just about the only other spell
besides Cleanse that I'd used to replace Flash or
That's just about it the ones that I wouldn't get are useless with this build.
Sneaky Tricks
Sneaky Tricks for Alpha Strike
1. This can be used to tower dive and not get hit when running towards the enemy.
2. This can be used to escape by using it on an enemy minion behind you (Iv'e done this once or twice)
3. THis skill cna be used to dare I say it "Kill Steal" now i dont normally KS unless i need the kills but thats it.
Sneaky Tricks for Meditate
1. You can use this to trick your enemies and then Alpha Strike towards them.
2. Use this only in bush or under your own tower (NEVER USE THIS TO PROLONG YOUR DEATH)
Sneaky Tricks for Wuju Style and Highlander
1. Highlander can be used to get across the map faster so i use it to chack Baron or go get a runaway kill.
2. Save Wuju Style till you use Alpha Strike that way you can hit on them hard.
You should be able to get easy kills with this build and then you can take on tanks and those beefs. This is my first guide and I hope you don't hate on it.

LILIAN AXE respects its past but looks forward to the future by reinventing themselves with the current times. Steve Blaze reflects, "I continue to learn about writing songs, recording, performing and growing as a complete human being. My life experiences are those that make its way into the songs I write for Lillian Axe."
The fire and passion still burns in LILIAN AXE and maybe even brighter today as their eleventh album, "XI: The Days before Tomorrow" makes its way out to the world. Brian Jones states, "I'm just getting started and I look forward to the days ahead and the adventures that are coming our way."

On Monday morning, hours before the House intelligence committee convened a hearing on Russian hacking during the 2016 campaign with star witness FBI chief James Comey, the president of the United States was tweeting furiously in an effort to preempt headlines that might emerge from the event. The political-media world was waiting for Comey to comment on the absurd and fact-free charge that Trump tweeted more than two weeks ago claiming President Barack Obama had wiretapped him during the campaign. But the hearing was also expected to reinforce the intelligence committee's previously released assessment that Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin mounted a covert action to subvert the US election to benefit Trump. And the other big subject: interactions Trump and his crew had with Russia during the campaign.
Trump and his supporters have been fighting against the Russia-hacked-America narrative for months, for they know (quite correctly) that it taints Trump's Electoral College win. So at the crack of dawn, Trump was trying to dismiss this topic. He tweeted that former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper had said there was "no evidence Potus colluded with Russia." He insisted, "This story is FAKE NEWS and everyone knows it." He claimed the "Democrats made up and pushed the Russian story as an excuse for running a terrible campaign. Big advantage in Electoral College & lost!" And he asserted, "The real story that Congress, the FBI and all others should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information. Must find leaker now."
James Clapper and others stated that there is no evidence Potus colluded with Russia. This story is FAKE NEWS and everyone knows it!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 20, 2017
The Democrats made up and pushed the Russian story as an excuse for running a terrible campaign. Big advantage in Electoral College & lost!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 20, 2017
The real story that Congress, the FBI and all others should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information. Must find leaker now!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 20, 2017
What about all of the contact with the Clinton campaign and the Russians? Also, is it true that the DNC would not let the FBI in to look?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 20, 2017
These come across as the tweets of a desperate man. There was much wrong and false about Trump's mini-missives. It was true that Clapper recently said on Meet the Press that he had not seen evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians in their assault on US democracy. But Clapper certainly left open the possibility that such evidence could emerge. More important, the issue was not solely whether Trump and his lieutenants were active co-conspirators in Moscow's hacking and leaking aimed at the Democrats. One big question is whether Trump and his team either explicitly or implicitly encouraged Putin to mount or continue the operation targeting US politics.
After saying there was no collusion, Trump tweeted the whole Russian story is phony and just Democratic spin. That's obviously nuts. Having cited Clapper on the collusion matter, Trump ignored him—and the entire US intelligence community—on the big picture, for Clapper's office and the US intelligence agencies released reports last year concluding Russia had hacked Democrats and leaked their emails to help Trump win. Still, Trump calls this fake news. That would mean he does not accept the assessment. Here we have the president of the United States proclaiming the full intelligence community cannot be believed or trusted. He is characterizing a reality that is political inconvenient for him as nothing but a made-up story concocted by his political enemies. This is dangerous.
Trump's tweets were blown out of the water at the start of the hearing. Mike Rogers, the head of the NSA, said that the intelligence community still stands behind its conclusion that Moscow pulled off the hacks and the leaks in part to assist Trump. In other words, this stuff is real. Then Comey dropped a bombshell: he confirmed that the FBI was investigating the Russian hacking and contacts between Trump associates and Russia, noting that his agents were examining whether there had been any coordination between the Trump camp and Russians. Comey said this probe has been going on since July. The FBI chief also declared (repeatedly) that the FBI and Justice have no "information that supports" Trump's tweets claiming Obama wiretapped Trump. In a sense, the FBI director and the NSA head were each calling Trump a liar.
Back to the Russian hack: by the president's standard, the FBI chief is investigating fake news. So shouldn't Trump fire Comey—or, at least, order him to cease and desist? Trump's position has no logical consistency. In his tweets, he tried to divert attention to leaks (which were about interactions between his folks and Russians). But if the leaks are not true, then there is no reason for an investigation of the leaks. Yet Republicans on the committee took their lead from Trump and focused on leaks much more than the Russian hacks. During his opening round of questioning at the hearing, Rep. Devin Nunes, the chairman of the committee, gave a chunk of his time to another Republican to grill Rogers about the damage caused by leaks. In his opening statement, Nunes devoted more time to echoing Trump's claim there is no evidence of collusion than to denouncing the Russian effort to undermine the US election.
Trump and his defenders will no doubt continue to say there is no public indication of collusion. But collusion is hardly the only question at hand. According to multiple media reports, Trump associates interacted with Russians during the campaign. What were they talking about? For instance, the Russian ambassador to the United States has said he was in contact with ret. General Michael Flynn before the election, at a time when Flynn was Trump's top national security adviser. From mid-June onward, there were reports—and then the intelligence community in October publicly declared—that the Russians were behind the hacks and leaks that harmed Hillary Clinton's campaign. (Trump and Flynn were briefed on this in mid-August.) So when was Flynn in contact with the Russian ambassador? And what was he telling him? If Flynn—or other Trump people—were signaling to the Russians that Moscow would get a better deal with a Trump administration, then they were providing Putin more incentive for his clandestine campaign against the election. This would be aiding and abetting a foreign power that was engaged in political warfare against the United States.
Rogers and Comey told the committee that full investigations are indeed warranted. The Russians hacked the campaign, and there are indications that Trump associates interacted with Russians. Trump's tweets cannot undo this. He now finds himself in the highly awkward position of being contradicted by his FBI director (on the absurd wiretapping charge) and linked to a counterintelligence investigation (and perhaps a criminal one) conducted by his own FBI. None of this is fake. How will Trump tweet himself out of this predicament?

A Glory Day for Free Speech
A marvelous bonus day for Free Speech in Canerder yesterday.
The Canadian Human Rights Commission has dismissed the hate charges against Maclean's magazine.
Of course, the BC Chamber of Silliness has yet to decide.
And the Supreme Court ruled that Rafe Mair was not liable for expressing his thoughts on Kari Simpson and her anti-gay crusade in Surrey schools.
Now, if someone can just get the BC Kangeroos to Yuk Yuks and heckle them for an hour or so...

Rare Good Move
We welcome the news that Stockwell Day is changing prison policy to make it more difficult for dangerous offenders to be moved to medium and minimum security jails.
Corrections Canada has been an irresponsible ass for far too long.
This small measure might help.

Alex on Sentencing, from 24 Hours
There is no way Michael Levy could have seen them coming. No way.
Cornered at a side exit of Tynehead Hall in Surrey, on a brisk October night in 2006, three thugs, in concert, beat him mercilessly. Two of them alternated punching and breaking a bottle over him. The third hoodlum took an axe to Michael Levy's spine.
Four times.
There wasn't much holding his head to the rest of his body. He lost almost two litres of blood and were it not for his then exceptional physical conditioning, he would have surely perished in the unearthly attack. He was training to go off with the Canadian Forces as an infantryman. A strapping lad, who always exuded goodness and kindness, his life was set in permanent intercession between his dreams and stark reality.
Crippled, perhaps, but not in spirit.
Much has changed since that fateful night. Michael Levy is a quadriplegic, resigned to his fate, but nobly soldiers on, sometimes even trading jokes with his stoic mother and adoring sister, while the three louts, who attacked him, will see punishment meted out to them that most certainly does not fit the crime.
I will not mention their names, even though they were raised to adult court, because they are not worthy of having their fifteen minutes of overtime fame attached to such a brazen act of comprehensive evil. But there is something very wrong with all this…
There is something very wrong with a criminal justice system that hails a just society as it's mantra, but cannot do more than hand out sentences that amount to laughable reprimand for the three cowards, who randomly ambushed Michael Levy and effectively sentenced him to wheelchair.
For life.
There is something very wrong with an Attorney General of this Province, who chastises the police for speaking out on the light nature of sentencing for repeat offenders, for serious offenders, and any violent offenders—period.
Have we not had enough of this rank insanity?
How many more people, I wonder aloud, have to die or be maimed before we're really outraged? When will sentencing in this country fall into line with being fair to the victims? To their families?
The axe-wielding lout was sentenced to ten years, reduced to eight for time already served. Eight years for taking an axe to someone's spine??? Four times?? And remember the horse's ass who along with his idiotic friends, post sentencing, decided to laugh all the way down the elevator of the Law Courts, with cameras in tow? He has to spend seven months of his original twenty month sentence in a detention center country club. Lovely.
Michael Levy received a life sentence at the hands of these bastards. There should have been a law to make them rot in jail for the rest of their lives, even the ones who facilitated the axe man. No parole, no reprieve. Not ever.
If the Conservative Government are want to show us, in sincerity, that they are going to renew our faith in the justice system, then change the damn laws so that they fit the crimes committed. Punish someone who takes someone else's life from them.
Michael Levy's mother, Deborah, as kind a soul as you could ever meet tells me that her son has good days and bad. "Some days are tougher than others", she says. "For all of us, but mostly for Michael…but he's tough and he understands what he needs to do to get through"
"I try not to cry", she says bravely. And then her voice breaks.
"Michael really wanted to go into the Canadian Forces, it was his dream. I would have been so proud, but I'm still so proud of him. They didn't kill his spirit. Sometimes I think he's stronger than all of us"
Of course they didn't break his spirit.
Because you don't have to have a pile of shiny medals on your chest to be a hero.
