Be careful what you wish for.
I bet the marketing team at Waitrose were wishing they"d paid closer attention to that old saying.
For those of you that didn"t catch the story in last week"s papers, the world"s poshest supermarket asked their Twitter followers "why they shopped at Waitrose?" Predictably the torrent of replies were not all "on brand" and my second favourite was "because Clarrisa"s pony just WILL NOT eat ASDA Value straw". That fantastic reply pales into insignificance, however, with the cheekiest:
"I also shop at Waitrose because I was once in the Holloway Road branch and heard a dad say "put the papaya down, Orlando!""

If you have been following along with Project Motherhood for a while now, you know that in June of 2013 I went from full time working Mama to a full time working from home Mama – a decision I am beyond happy that I made. While it was scary at first to be self-employed and responsible for every penny that comes into the bank account roll, I've embraced the challenge and the inevitable ups and downs that it brings. So whether you are considering the self-employed path or taking a position that allows you to be more flexible about where you work, here are some things to consider about taking the plunge to working from home.
Working From Home: 5 Truths "They" Don't Tell You
1. It might take some convincing of your spouse.
I love my husband to death, but it took some major convincing before he understood how I was going to be helping to support our family by working at home and how my plans for making that happen were going to work. It was a vision that I had floating through my brain with many steps that needed to be achieved in order to make it happen, but I needed to somehow make it tangible – so he could see the vision, too.
2. People will talk, and might not understand.
So I delved into this topic much deeper in my post "8 Things Never to Say to a WAHM," but it doesn't make this truth any less powerful. A lot of people just don't get it and think that we "work from home" just for fun – or aren't really working at all, like it's code for sitting and binge watching Real Housewives all day. You have to develop a thick skin for this and make sure people know they can't just call you to chit chat during your precious office hours when the kids are at school. Sometimes it's necessary to be firm, and sometimes they will never understand. Read more here.
3. Your bed becomes your office.
Living in NYC, I don't have a home office in our small apartment, and I'm jealous of those of you who do! So, if you are anything like me, you will be spending many, many hours sitting in bed with notebooks, calendars, post-its, and loads of cups of coffee with you, with your laptop at the epicenter of your bed. It's inevitable! (And it's still called work!)
4. Pencil skirts become yoga pants.
People always say to me how my life looks so glamorous – mostly because they closely follow my Instagram feed. In reality, events and dressing up don't happen as often as it may seem, and my life is filled more with computer work than anything. Therefore, whenever I took the leap to working from home, I traded my pencil skirts for yoga pants, most days!
5. You're relied upon for everything.
Even if you do have a totally supportive network of people around you who really "get" what you do, you will still be the person who is relied on for everything "because you are at home" or worse, "because you don't have a job" – assuming you will always have the time to do it. Need a volunteer for the school field trip? You! An unexpected errand needs to be run? You again! Kids need to go to the doctor, bathroom needs cleaning, cookies for the bake sale? You, you, you! You will need tough discipline within yourself to fend off all the distractions and demands.
Yet, the upside is there too; for example, when you have a sick child you don't have to "stay home from work" – you can stay home AND work, and still provide the lovin' your child needs. You are the boss, YOU get to decide!
There are the challenges to working from home, no denial. But obviously, there are many very good reasons that working at home works for me and for increasing numbers of ambitious Mamas.
Are you working from home? Do you have any truths to add to my list?
Motherhood is tough – let's get through it together! We chit chat, share stories, embarrassing motherhood moments, and tips and tricks all day long on our social media. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram & YouTube!
Fashionably Yours,

Sue, glad to read that you were able to get out & enjoy a crafting time with your pals. Good for the soul, and especially so, when you've been doing lots of TLC duties. Your card is adorable (I love birdhouses!) and how appropriate for a new home. Love the way you've combined those paper patterns & your pearls made it look stitched. Put me in mind of a patchwork quilt, which is very homey too. Your friends will love this. TFS & Hugs. Hope DH is still doing better each day.ReplyDelete

Last year Democrats impaled themselves on the Iraq war. They were so anxious to denounce the invasion that they failed to acknowledge the most basic point of all: that, having waded into Iraq, the United States could not leave prematurely. By attacking the Bush policy relentlessly, Democrats sounded negative. By refusing to say clearly that they would finish the Iraq job, they sounded irresponsible.
Now Democrats risk making the same mistake on Social Security. They are so anxious to denounce private accounts that they fail to acknowledge the most basic point: Social Security has a serious deficit. The Post reported Friday that nearly every Democratic senator refuses even to contemplate the Bush proposals. But the Democrats have no proposal of their own. They sound negative and irresponsible.
This is a mistake, first, because it's bad for the country. Social Security's deficit does need to be fixed, and the fix will be harder if we miss the current opportunity. Whatever one thinks of President Bush's personal accounts, he's out there touring the country, trying to open people's minds to the necessity of reform; meanwhile, Republican members of Congress are sticking their necks out with detailed overhaul proposals. If this moment is squandered, it may be years before any politician musters the courage to tackle Social Security.
Those are years we can't afford. As the debate illustrates, reform is salable only if it exempts people near retirement. The oldest baby boomers, those born in 1946, are already almost 60. With each year that passes, the cohort of politically inviolable near-retirees expands sharply -- meaning that the burden of remedial tax hikes and benefit cuts on younger workers will have to be that much heavier.
So Democrats must ask themselves a question. They hope to ride the Republican "attack" on Social Security to victory in the midterm elections, but what if this scheme backfires? What if they get painted as dishonest hacks, who cynically lied to the electorate about the urgency of reform and who thereby condemned citizens to nastier reforms later?
That's the tactical issue, but there's a strategic one also. Over the next couple of decades, entitlement costs will drive government spending upward, leaving precious little room to pursue other progressive objectives. If Democrats want to spend money on the environment, inner-city schooling, or safety nets that cushion the effects of globalization, they had better start thinking about how to control entitlements, or there'll be no money left over.
The Democrats' stock answer to this point is that they will repeal the Bush tax cuts. The cuts are indeed unaffordable and appalling: Their cost over the next 75 years comes to about $11 trillion, or three times the Social Security shortfall. But the coming baby-bust budget crisis is bigger than $11 trillion. There was an entitlement problem before Bush took office, and there would still be one if his tax cuts were eliminated.
So the Democrats face a strategic choice, and the current Social Security debate is just an early taste of it. They can become the party that says no to entitlement reform, in which case they will have to fight that battle over and over again, and in the end the mathematics of the budget will make their fight futile. Call that the ostrich option. Alternatively, Democrats can become the party that seeks to reform entitlements in a way that protects the poor, in which case they may carve out some space in the budget for other enlightened programs. That is the progressive option.
A progressive Democratic Party would introduce its own Social Security reform bill. It could be based on the package designed by Gene Sperling -- a mix of benefit cuts, tax hikes, and add-on personal savings accounts targeted at poor and middle-income workers. The progressives could point out that their plan fixes not only the Social Security deficit but also the national savings deficit, since add-on personal accounts involve extra contributions from workers and extra tax collection by the government.
But progressive Democrats should also admit the truth about Republican proposals: They're a heck of a lot better than leaving Social Security's deficit to get worse. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican, is talking about reasonable benefit cuts coupled with extra taxation and modest personal accounts. This is not a plan to burn FDR in effigy. After all, well-designed personal accounts benefit poor Americans, not the rich. The rich already own stocks, and having a new way of holding shares should logically lead them to switch other savings out of equities and into bonds, so that their overall risk profile stays constant. It is the bottom half of households that stand to gain from the opportunity (not the obligation) to own equities as part of their retirement savings. Democrats who say that any personal accounts are a first step to dismantling the system should recall their own fury at equivalent Republican claims -- that Hillarycare, for example, promised "socialized medicine."
Progressives may prefer Sperling-style add-on accounts, as I do. But a party whose senators unanimously refuse to contemplate carve-out accounts is a party that's closed its collective mind. And a party that refuses to acknowledge the urgency of entitlement reform is a party of ostriches.
After I attacked the administration last week, many readers demanded to know whom I would want for World Bank president. Proven public-sector leaders who understand finance and development are hard to come by -- there's Bob Rubin, hardly a likely pick for the Bush administration. But the field gets wider if you consider non-Americans. Kemal Dervis, a World Bank vice president who went on to be Turkey's finance minister, is my favorite. Dervis is a charismatic, pro-Western Muslim economist who helped the United States by leading the reconstruction of Bosnia.

3.3.8 Expressions Involving Complex Variables
Mathematica usually pays no attention to whether variables like x stand for real or complex numbers. Sometimes, however, you may want to make transformations which are appropriate only if particular variables are assumed to be either real or complex.
The function ComplexExpand expands out algebraic and trigonometric expressions, making definite assumptions about the variables that appear.
Expanding complex expressions.
This expands the expression, assuming that x and y are both real.
In[1]:= ComplexExpand[Tan[x + I y]]
In this case, a is assumed to be real, but x is assumed to be complex, and is broken into explicit real and imaginary parts.
In[2]:= ComplexExpand[a + x^2, {x}]
With several complex variables, you quickly get quite complicated results.
In[3]:= ComplexExpand[Sin[x] Exp[y], {x, y}]
There are several ways to write a complex variable z in terms of real parameters. As above, for example, z can be written in the "Cartesian form" Re[z] + I Im[z]. But it can equally well be written in the "polar form" Abs[z] Exp[I Arg[z]].
The option TargetFunctions in ComplexExpand allows you to specify how complex variables should be written. TargetFunctions can be set to a list of functions from the set Re, Im, Abs, Arg, Conjugate, Sign. ComplexExpand will try to give results in terms of whichever of these functions you request. The default is typically to give results in terms of Re and Im.
This gives an expansion in Cartesian form.
In[4]:= ComplexExpand[Re[z^2], {z}]
Here is an expansion in polar form.
In[5]:= ComplexExpand[Re[z^2], {z},
TargetFunctions -> {Abs, Arg}]
Here is another form of expansion.
In[6]:= ComplexExpand[Re[z^2], {z}, TargetFunctions -> Conjugate]

I am very keen on astrophotography, atmospherics and nature photography.The passion for photography has been with me for 60 odd years and is still as strong as ever.My first camera was a 127 format given to me when I was 8yrs old, my father showing us how to develop film, in the bathtub, needless to say it became stained much to my mothers annoyance.I guess my profession, Radiography, was a natural way to combine taking pictures with a hobby, most radiographers in my training years had cameras so we all took photos and compared them, always striving to outdo each other.I have always had an interest in Infra-Red photography and we used to play around with IR film in the B&W days, of course we have advanced so much in the digital world of IR I had my camera converted for IR only...it was a bonus as the exposures are as if it was a white light camera. Fast shutter speeds and the resulting images are sometime bad but mostly intriguing. Although I enjoy my work in helping the patient the time has come at the end of 2014 to drop to three days a week, get out on my motorcycle(s) and take a few more photos of the natural world.

Heritage genocide abetted by decades of Western funding
Ever heard of 'archaeology' being first priority in a conquered territory? If not, then you don't know Sri Lanka, writes an academic from Jaffna on Colombo's heritage genocide. Colombo's use of archaeology against Tamils is not new. But the dimensions to which Tamils are now exposed to are not only its acceleration but the tragedy of facing imposed 'knowledge supremacy' that only the Sinhalese can explore, excavate, manage and teach heritage. Sri Lankan state is not the only culprit. The West, especially the UK, US, Germany, France and Holland as well as India, Japan and Australia, the main countries that have been giving funds, training and scholarships to Sri Lanka and also the UN agencies have to be equally indicted for blindly following only State protocols and vested interests, without considering the long-term genocidal impact of their assistances in the island, he further writes.
Full text of the article follows:
Ever heard of 'archaeology' being first priority in a conquered territory?
If you have not heard of then you don't know the Sri Lankan state.
If you are imagining of excavating mines, caches of arms and mass graves of the Tamil victims of war, then you are mistaken. Killing and dumping continue unabated.
This is real archaeology in the North and East of the island, led by officials of the Sri Lanka archaeology department, Buddhist monks, Sinhala university dons and retired archaeologists considering themselves as the guardians of Sinhala-Buddhist identity in the island.
The aim of their feverish archaeology is to build Sinhala-Buddhist stupas in the heart of the Tamil homeland paving way for islands of Sinhala-Buddhist colonies protected by military. This will go hand in hand with the 'development' projects aiming to open the conquered territory to the conquerors and eventually the change of demography so that Tamils can never fight for their national rights in the island.
Temporally and spiritually it is a heritage genocide: to make Eezham Tamils feel that their homeland doesn't belong to them, they are historically inferior 'intruders', they have no claims for their nationalism and as long as they exist as Tamils they cannot be equals.
Sinhalese and Eezham Tamils are two siblings whose very ethnic formations and territorial identities took place in the island as a result of more than two millennia of history, which no one, not even hard-core Sinhala-Buddhist historians, could deny.
What is the point now in engaging in one-sided 'archaeology' rather than coming out with political formulas to resolve the national question, if the intention is not genocide?
If the intention is really the preservation of cultural heritage the best way to do it is recognising the territoriality of Eezham Tamils in their homeland. When there is no fear of subjugation the heritage of the land will be spontaneously preserved by the people of the land.
On the contrary, what happened in a paranoid way immediately after the war was a sudden inrush of a number of Sinhala 'archaeologists' to the North and East, exploring 'opportunities.' A Sinhala Buddhist monk was appointed as the curator of the Jaffna museum. This monk, exploring the peninsula with the help of the army, announced the 'discovery' of potential sites within weeks of his manoeuvres.
Meanwhile, a veteran Sinhala archaeologist lately upholding Mahavamsa ideology, is said to be eying on opportunities to excavate Kantharoadai in Jaffna and Maanthai in Mannaar as early as possible with the financial support of one or two Western countries.
The Netherlands government is said to have given financial assistance to renovate the Dutch fort in Jaffna under the aegis of Sri Lanka government and Sinhala archaeologists, to make it a haven of visiting government dignitaries and Sinhala 'pilgrims.'
Colombo government using archaeology and heritage as tools for it genocide is nothing new to Eezham Tamils. It is a decades long process.
But the new dimensions to which the Eezham Tamils are now exposed to is not only the acceleration of the process but the tragedy of facing imposed 'knowledge supremacy' that only the Sinhalese can explore, excavate, manage and teach what is heritage.
For decades now, the Sri Lanka archaeology department doesn't have any Tamil or Tamil speaking Muslim officers in its staff, despite the fact that Eezham Tamils are inherent partners and the Tamil Muslims have at least a millennia of partnership in the heritage of the island.
The Cultural Triangle programme of the state, long led by a Western trained Sinhala architect-turned archaeologist, that produced hundreds of Sinhala archaeology officers, university teachers, students and Buddhist monks in archaeology and heritage for more than quarter a century never included any Tamils or Tamil Muslims in its programmes.
So far, in the last several decades, not even a single Tamil or Tamil Muslim has been sent abroad, by the government for any education or training in archaeology, while scores of Sinhalese were the exclusive recipients of the privilege.
The very few archaeologists among Tamils, numbering three or four, received their education in archaeology spending their own money in India, shaming decades of operations of the Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ICCR) in the island. They never received any Sri Lankan state assistance, either in their education or in further practice of the discipline.
In 1974 the Sri Lanka Archaeology Department opposed the appointment of Dr. K. Indrapala as Professor of History and Archaeology to the newly started University of Jaffna, citing he had no qualifications in archaeology. His appointment was truncated to History alone. Now the University Grants Commission of Sri Lanka, introducing Culture Studies to Sinhala universities, deprives Jaffna and Batticaloa of this state of the art discipline but wants them to run courses in archaeology without qualified staff to teach.
A couple of years ago the writer found that the one and only Tamil working in the island's prestigious Postgraduate Institute of Archaeology in Colombo was the janitor sitting at the entrance. No Tamil students study there. This institution was the dream child of an internationally known Sinhala archaeologist close to a political dynasty of the past.
The Institute of Fundamental Studies started by J R Jeyawardene in Kandy engaged only Sinhalese for archaeological assignments and some of them were given further training in the Indus sites of India, ultimately to become 'counter insurgency' experts!
Another important heritage institution in the island, The National Archives doesn't have a Tamil or Tamil Muslim staff member ever since the retirement of Dr. Navasothy, quarter a century ago. Like in archaeology, no Tamils received training in archival studies while only the Sinhalese had the privilege. The National Archives Director Dr. Saroja Wettesinghe recently appealed for more funds to preserve the 'national legacy' that doesn't have national representation.
Sri Lankan state is not the only culprit to this cultural genocide.
All those Western countries, especially the UK, US, Germany, France and Holland as well as India, Japan and Australia, the main countries that have been giving funds, training and scholarships to Sri Lanka and the UN agencies have to be equally indicted for following only State protocols and vested interests, without any consideration to the long-term genocidal impact their assistances were causing in the island.
At least at this juncture, after seeing what is taking place, these countries and the UN agencies should refrain from aiding the cultural genocide of Colombo, by stopping all funding to Sinhala-only departments and cultural institutions in the island.
Until the national question of Eezham Tamils in the North and East is politically resolved, no funding should be given to Colombo's cultural agenda in Tamil homeland, whatever pretexts such as development or tourism with which Colombo may approach.
Instead the countries should opt for direct funding to institutions of Tamils in the north and East.
Urgent attention need to be paid on human resource training and removing imbalance in knowledge. Donor countries have to make arrangements for direct recruitment of Tamil and Muslim students and academics for training.
It is heartening to note that some British institutions like the SOAS refrain form encouraging ethnically charged research projects in the island and instead concentrate on universal topics such as prehistoric archaeology, environmental archaeology etc. But this alone will not do enough justice unless Tamils are trained to do the job. Otherwise it will lead to knowledge dependency of them to the Sinhalese who now pose themselves as the colonial masters.
Western academic and cultural institutions have a responsible role to play in influencing their governments against abetting cultural genocide. Diaspora should act with vigilance in this respect. What the Netherlands is doing in Jaffna has so far not attracted the attention of the Tamil diaspora in the EU countries.
While Tamil temples and historical sites are systematically destroyed and occupied by the Sinhalese and when cultural genocide takes place in the model of Portuguese colonialism, some 'intelligence' writers of the Indian Establishment ridiculing Tamil diaspora's nationalist efforts, say that an unperturbed Colombo is engaged in its own model of 'reconciliation' with the Tamils in the island.
It is said the Indians are now wrestling with China in grabbing the 'archaeology' of the neighbouring Maldives. China is now building a National Museum for Maldives. The old boss Sri Lanka is kept out of the fray. Everybody knows that if allowed, in their present spirit of 'archaeology' the Sinhalese would not hesitate to claim that Maldives was a Sinhala Buddhist country and all those Maldivians today are invaders and intruders from Arabia!
Observers say it is the fanaticism of Sri Lanka and arrogance of India in mishandling small national formations that pave way for the insinuation of others in the region. It will not take a long time for the intelligence-led rule of the Indian Establishment to collapse under its own weight of such gross errors.
Many political analysts are of the opinion that the Tamil question in the island of Sri Lanka has long become a guinea pig to powers for all sort of vile experiments – military, economic, social, cultural and ideological. This is why when an obvious genocide took place and is taking place they all in chorus deny it.
Eezham Tamil diaspora has every justification in responding to the situation by mandating their independence and forming its own country councils and transnational government to look after a multiplicity of vital affairs including heritage. Diaspora needs to be only vigilant that the experiment gets into right hands.
Meanwhile, efforts are now under way to organise a museum and an archives in London by some diaspora institutions and individuals keen in preserving and presenting Eezham Tamil heritage. These efforts need the support of everyone and such heritage foundations have to be established in every major country. The foundations can eventually educate and train personnel coming from the home country.
Supporting the creation of such foundations and training academic personal to run them are in fact atonement in a small way for the Western donors for what they have done or what they have not done all these decades to the heritage of Eezham Tamils by funding Colombo's cultural monster.

Unanswered: very urgent access report problem!!!
I have an old access2000 application running on pc with windows xp, this application connects to an SQL db on windows server 2003.
in the last months we heve noticed a really strange problem, happening not very often but very serious:
from a form we select some data and we fill a temporary table, then we launch a report that reads from the form some data and other data from a query on the temporary table.
Sometimes the query seems not working because the report printout has correct data read from the form but the data from the query are those of the last preceding successful query.
Checking the temporary table the data are correct.
I'm desperate because this problem mix data of different documents
Please help me

I'm sorry SINNDHO, following your faq link, i try to be more clear.
The application creates shipping documents for textile goods.
herewith enclosed find an example of report and form.
In the report you see red circled data read directly from the form are always correct. The green circled data are obtained from the simple following query and sometimes give the problem.
Query: "SELECT Bollatex.* FROM Bollatex INNER JOIN Pezza ON Bollatex.CODPEZ = Pezza.CODPEZ WHERE (((Pezza.NUMBOL)=[forms]![BOLLA_S]![NUMBOL]) AND ((Year([Pezza].[DATBOL]))=[forms]![BOLLA_S]![YEARBOLL]));".
I repeat the apllication is runnig from 8 years, we noticed the problem last months, the only change was the substitution ( end 2010) of the pc with a new model but same operating system (XP) same access 2000 version with SP3.
I thank you in advance for your attention at my problem

"There is very very little crime here, something i wish was the same in the US."
There is very little violent crime in China.
Crime in general, on the other hand, is rife here, as it is in any loosely-managed country.
That's right. Everyone in the harmonious society honors employment contracts, follows nonsmoking ordinances, obeys traffic laws, respects the environment, and pays their taxes. Prostitution is not tolerated. Law enforcement officers and government officials do not accept bribes.
Apparently contrary behaviors are special exceptions for special people. Because China is special.
Also, everything in history that has ever been called Chinese is the property of the People's Republic of China. This includes geographic areas and aspects of tangible and intangible culture, such as Chinese finger traps, Chinese fire drills, and Chinese checkers.
Respect China's intellectual property rights!
There is very very little crime here, something i wish was the same in the US.
There is very little violent crime in China.
Dude you are crazy. There is little crime of any kind here.
dude i am talking about violent crime and gangs they do not have that here.
Am I missing anything?
Looks like you covered most of it.
Every day.
"dude i am talking about violent crime and gangs they do not have that here."
Someone's never heard of the Triad. Or Chongqing. You know, that city in west China that used to have a huge problem with organized crime.
"Organized crime is different, it does not count as street crime."
Teach me English, Pete. Teach it to me. Teach me real good.
If you're going to make a crap attempt at being pedantic, allow me to remind you that bribery, environmental degradation and a refusal to enforce even the most basic laws affect all of us as we "walk down the street," as you put it.
Organized crime are just unofficial corporations
Talk about wisdom from the mouths of babes; sometimes Re-Pete shows accidental brilliance in excoriating the evils of capitalism.
Pete: Talk to people who live in Dongguan (Guangdong). There are violent crimes quite common. Most people who live there for a bit longer witness a violent crime at some point.
I am not sure about the background of those violent attacks though. Therefore I cannot tell you if it comes it from proverty (the place really does look quite desperate) or fi there are there organanised gangs. Dongguan is - just FYI - the heaven of prostitution in China.
I agree with Pete, China is a developing country, still is far from the rates of homocide, alcoholism or suicides of the countries perfectly developed. I'm sure in the coming years of prosperity, China will catch those high rates.
From Annual epidemiological and vital statistics, Vital statistics and causes of death. (OMS) 1951-1952
(Rates of homocide and alcoholism per 100000 Adults) Denmark 35.76% Switzerland 35.14% Finland 29.80% USA 24, 02% Sweden 20.75% Portugal 17.03% France 16.36% Italy 15.05% Australia 14.60%
I agree with Pete, China is a developing country, still is far from the rates of homocide, alcoholism or suicides of the countries perfectly developed.
Alcoholism and suicide are criminal now?
Alcoholism and suicide are criminal now?
(Moronic Legal Realism answer) It depends on the type of Criminal Law of each country.

Before I go any further, I want to apologize to any of you who install Christmas lights because I just called you a freakin idot about 100 times in the last few hours. I just don't understand why anyone would want to take on this hassle as a business? I got half the lights up, look back at what I had accomplished, and there would be a segment of lights out in the middle of a string! Back and forth to the garage to figure out the problem, up and down the ladder, over and over again. Who does this crap with a passion? I've got people hammering me to put up these stupid lights for them, but I absolutely hate Christmas lights! Are you guys just warped in the mind to be dealing with this kind of thing? I mean really; if I have this much trouble with my own lights, why would I want to expose myself to a hundred customers who would call me on Christmas Eve with a problem? AAAAHHHHHHhh!!! OK, I'm through venting now. I'm gonna go look at my pretty lights.

In the spring of 2013, the Bullitt, Wilburforce and Brainerd foundations evaluated the technical needs of their grantees. By understanding the terrain, better grantmaking decisions can be made, and the individual groups can understand how their needs fit into the bigger picture. We received a solid response to the April survey, getting a little over 100 entries. Some of the key findings are below, and the full results can be found here.
The Groundwire Gap
Eighteen years after its founding, Groundwire.org has stopped delivering services. Their services were originally transferred to a for-profit consultancy (Direct Technology), and have recently evaporated completely. It's sad to see them go, as they were a trusted resource for nearly all of the green nonprofit groups in the region. Complicating matters is the degree to which their consulting projects – mainly CRM, online strategy and web development – had ongoing dependencies that needed to be abruptly shifted to other providers. The reach of Groundwire's services was impressive.
Web hosting services have been transferred to Six Feet Up, a provider in Indiana that focuses on Plone, the favored development platform of Groundwire. Groundwire's other development platform, Salesforce, is a cloud-based system already, so the service itself was not impacted by these changes. Still, the ongoing consulting necessary to maintain a functional Salesforce instance is significant, and without Groundwire there is a measurable hole in the IT infrastructure of regional grantees. Fortunately some of the skilled staff of Groundwire have spun-off consultancies that are addressing as many of these needs as they have capacity.
Framing this in the big picture, groups that relied on Groundwire services are in a state of flux. As their technology ages, and their demands evolve, they will either need to rely on a new set of service providers or let their technology decay. Some organizations have already established these new relationships and are actively taking steps to make improvements. Others (probably the majority) have yet to experience an emergency that brings the gap to light. They will. In the coming year, there is sure to be a rolling tide of nonprofits that are impacted by the hole that Groundwire left.
Even if there is sufficient capacity in the market for strategy, CRM and web consulting, there is still friction in migrating these groups to the new resources. Communication to groups about IT options has been scattered, and the custom work done originally by Groundwire developers is difficult to translate to a new service provider. It's going to be difficult to maintain/extend the huge body of aging, custom code from all of Groundwire's web projects.
Rather than scrambling to line up another Plone or Salesforce developer to continue the maintenance of their online presence, smart nonprofits will take stock of their evolving communications goals, and take a broad view of the options available to them. In some cases, re-investing in the Groundwire platforms will make sense, and in others, a sidestep to other technologies will be the smartest use of budget. Nonprofits and grantmakers can scan the landscape of IT providers here. Plone hosting, which has been a consistent aggravation in the region, is an issue that will grow in the coming year. There is a thorough listing of options available here, but few have been vetted, and many are international.
If cursory help is needed in identifying appropriate IT vendors for nonprofits, I encourage people to connect with me.
Physical Infrastructure
As the cost of equipment decreases, and the need for office-hosted servers declines, nonprofit groups are doing a better job of providing affordable, usable machines for their staff. Note below that laptops are becoming the tool of choice for most staff, which is a trend seen in the greater technology market. In our cohort, laptops outnumber desktops 54% to 46%.
Roughly one in three nonprofit staff use a mobile "smart" phone that has access to email and online resources. The popularity of these phones, and the growing use of laptops is likely to alter the definition of "office" for many groups – the hard-costs associated with a physical place may diminish as organizations find ways to achieve their mission with less space and more virtual collaboration. Another interesting point is the lack of tablet use. In the general population these devices are much more popular than seen in this survey. Whether the nonprofit mission is scientific, policy, advocacy or outreach, tablets represent a frugal way to enable staff to be productive and work independently. Not a laptop replacement, but excellent for light use..
Better information generally yields better decisions, so in addition to communicating some general tips, it would be useful for groups to see how other nonprofits address their own technology purchasing. Again, not treading on the decision-making sovereignty of the grantees, but offering information that can be used to improve the quality and price of the purchase.
Stated Needs
Not surprisingly, the surveyed groups have a lot of unfilled IT needs. We asked two questions that attempted to discern between technology issues they planned to address within their own budget, and others that might need outside support.
Contrast these stated needs with the reality of what they plan to address with their own budget:
A gap exists in the intentions of groups, measured against their ability to sustain themselves using their own budget. Given the complexity of some of these technical problems, organizations are facing the challenge of sub-standard technology, and a limited understanding of how to improve matters. Since IT costs aren't trivial, this is a problem that can have a major impact in what organizations can accomplish in their mission.

Talbot happy with fitness
Chesterfield frontman Drew Talbot says he is enjoying his football again after putting his injury woes behind him.
Last Updated: 08/10/10 7:29pm
Chesterfield frontman Drew Talbot says he is enjoying his football again after putting his injury woes behind him.
Talbot has been felled by serious back and knee injuries in the past but has rekindled his career with spells at Luton and now Chesterfield.
The Barnsley-born star is looking to find the net on a regular basis for John Sheridan's team as they launch a promotion push from League Two.
The Spireites currently sit second following an impressive start to the campaign and Talbot is hoping to prolong his injury-free run in the club's starting XI.
"I've had so many injuries that it has been silly but over the last few years I have been consistent," Talbot, 24, told skysports.com.
"You are always going to get little niggles here and there, but staying away from the long-term ones is the important thing.
"I set many targets for myself in terms of goals, but I'd like to get a few more when I can.
"I'm being used more as a winger this season by the gaffer, but I am really enjoying my football at the minute and long may that continue."
Chesterfield began the campaign in their sparkling new B2net Stadium after their exit from Saltergate and the transition has been a smooth one for the Derbyshire outfit.
Sheridan's team have amassed 19 points from their opening 10 outings and Talbot believes clubs in the lower divisions are benefitting from improved stadia.
And he reckons his team's arena - yet to see defeat for the hosts - deserves to be the venue for football of a higher calibre.
The former Sheffield Wednesday player explained: "There are a lot of clubs in this division that have upped their game by moving to a new stadium and I think that is the way clubs are going now.
"If we were lucky enough to get promotion this season, or even just be in the play-offs come the end of the season, then it would be fantastic to see more fans come through the turnstiles.
"The new stadium wouldn't look out of place in League One or even higher but it is up to us as players to maintain our good start to the season."

Here is my foot and a big, delicious piece of sea pork.
Sea pork is a colony of animals- clusters of zooids encased in a yummy gelatinous matrix. You should try slicing one up and making some sea pork cutlets in, perhaps, some sausage gravy with a side salad of sea pansies. (Disclaimer: No- don't do that.) I do not think you should eat sea pork (or sea pansies, for that matter) unless you are really hung over. Then you can put the sea pork in a blender with some clamato and vodka. NO- don't do that either! I don't know what would happen to you if you ate or drank sea pork but it might be bad and I don't want to be held responsible.
So here is another look at the compound tunicate (from the group of animals known as Ascidians)- early relatives of yours by the way. Did you know you were in the same taxonomic phylum as sea squirts and sea pork? Well you are. In fact knowing this may put some things in perspective in regard to some people you've always wondered about.
This stuff is really dense and rubbery. I've seen it in hues of pink and orange and white. You'll find smaller colonies than the one here but they can reach a couple of meters across. You could feed a family of ten with just one giant piece of sea pork! (As I said earlier- No- don't do that.) But who does eat sea pork? Stingrays like it- those rotten little bastards. Here is another picture of my foot a few days after being whapped by a stringray.
I was just minding my own business, poking around in the shallows with my little dip net on a beach in S. Carolina when- whammo! I didn't even see the stingray but blood was squirting everywhere (well, okay, maybe not squirting- but it was dripping profusely) and in about 30 seconds pain bad enough that, according to my son, caused me to yell "God Damnit!" and "Son of a bitch!" in front of what I'm sure were some very lovely families enjoying a nice evening on the beach. (Sorry!)
Finally, I wanted to mention some (of the many!) marine invertebrates that have names that start with "sea". There are some pretty ones: sea pansy, sea heart, sea feather, and sea star. And there are some funny ones: sea mouse, sea walnut, sea bat, sea gooseberry, sea lemon and sea pussy (stop snickering- it was probably named way back when that was a perfectly innocent word) and sea weener (ha! ha! I just made that up!). But there is a sea rod. (I'm not very mature, am I?)

Syria Today
Pure breed , pure blood , pure Syrian
s reputation for siring the purest thoroughbred Arabian horses remains Nadia Muhanna invertigates if the country can now turn horse play into horse business .
The image of the thoroughbred Arabian horse galloping across the desert whipping up dust as the heat haze shimmers in the distance has an almost iconic appeal . it conjures freedom and strength , passion and nobility ,so prized have these animals been throughout history that their traditional breeders the Bedouin , consider them blessed by god : '' I create thee , oh Arabian . I establish thee as one of the glories of the earth
…. I give thee flight without wings ," goes an ancient Bedouin saying .
s horses – prized for their purity and stamina – have long been an integral part of Bedouin life in the country . hot on the heels of Damascus playing host to the world Arab horse Organization , there are many who are now saying that these majestic animals could play a major role in the global horse breeding industry .
The desert expanse stretching across Syria , Jordan and Iraq is claimed to have given birth to the main strains of Arabian horses ; the harsh desert environment producing horses of fabled strength endurance and courage . Syria s historic role in
Breeding Arabian steeds was recently highlighted when the world Arabian horse organization ( WAHO) – the international body responsible for registering the pedigree of Arabian horses – held its biennial conference in Damascus during April.
" the majority of Arabian steeds originate from Syria . " Hans Nagel , president of the
WAHO said . as well as emphasizing Syria s historic importance in breeding Arabian steeds , the conference highlinghted the much greater role Syria could play in breeding these animals for what is now a lucrative global market .
A look back through history shows that its not by accident that Syria has traditionally bred the purest thoroughbred steeds . the country s unforgiving desert environment contributed to its horses ability to adapt to unremitting condition s ,
Giving birth to their legendary spirit and stamina their traditional breeders the Bedouin , were furthermore compelled to raise only the best horses as a tribes rise or fall was intricately linked to the strength of their cherished animals .thus , the Arabian horse became one aspect of an immutable trinity – the Bedouin the horse and religion Arabian horses were the only animals permitted inside Bedouin tents and were even accorded the right to sleep beside their owners .
Hisham grayed , the owner of the largest of the largest Arabian stud-farm in Syria, echoes such traditions : " if my horse were in need of something but I lacked money for both , I would buy what my horse needs first . " It's a statement one would hope smacks of hyperbole . but which nevertheless emphasizes the importance still accorded to these animals
There are five primary strains of Asil ( pure – blooded ) Arabian horses :
Keheilan , Seglawi , abeyan ,hamdani and hadban . such was the importance of a horses purity that crossbreeding between strains was discouraged , although it was never strictly forbidden certain bedouin tribes believed that if a mare was bred with a stallion of "impure " blood the mare herself and all future offspring would be contaminated by the stallion and therefore no longer asil . the pedigree and history of a tribe's best mare would be preserved in oral tradition , handed down from generation to generation . islam also accords a particular reverence to these animals and sayings of propher mohammed commending Arabian horses abound .
Syria's present horse breeding potential is rooted in the industry's isolation – a factor that has preserved the purity of the country's horse stock . Arabian horses in Syria are closest to those reared centuries ago as they have remained in their original environment without exposure to outside breeds . " the characteristics of Arabian horses raised in fertile plains changes over time . " nagel said . " due to the different feeding regimes the quality and size of their bones differ.''
Furthermore . a blanket ban only recently lifted on the import and export of Arabian horses has maintained the purity of bloodines in Syrian stock . the government ban was lifted in 2004 as part of Syrian endeavours to open its markets however , Syrian breeders have been reluctant introduce foreign bloodlines into the country . mohammed al Wadi head of the Arabian horse office in the ministry of agiculture said 400 registered Arabian horses have been exported since 2004 while only a quarter of that number have been imported . the ministry monitors the birth and death of the Arabians marks registered horses with a WAHO approved insignia and provides DNA tests of newborn horses to certify their purity " Syria remains isolated from other countries in horse breeding , " nagel said . " anyone here can call their horses Syrian Arabians . I urge Syria to preserve this and not mix its thoroughbreds with other strains ."
Yet if Syria is to move beyond simply patted on the back for the purity of its Arabian thoroughbreds to actyally making money from its undoubted resource ,serious change is required . according to sami grayyeb , a young horse breeder and the son of hisham grayyeb the majority of syrian are largely concerned with the status that keeping an Arabian horse accords them .
As the value horses has increased , however that mindset is changing . When Syria initially joined the WAHO in 1989 , membership neccessited that all its horses be registered . this initial valuation caused prices to rise as breeders were made aware of the price their horses could fetch on the open market some breeders held back , however , wary that the government might confiscate their animal . when such fears proved unjustified – and they saw how much could potentially be made from their horses – there was a clamour for a second chance to register uniquelt among the 69 members of WAHO , Syria was granted this second registration window in 1994 . now , 4,000 steeds have been registered and eight Syrian pedigree booke have been published before Syria joined WAHO I used to buy the best mare for 3,000 syrian pounds . " hisham grayyeb explains . " since registration . now even the least valuable mare will set me back half a million Syrian pounds . " the wery best mares presently
Fetch in excess of syp 3 million ( mares are far more prized than stallions as they are regarded to possess more endurance and loyalry than their male counterparts as such they were used by the Bedouin in the all – important task of riding ) while the attiude towarde owinig Arabian horses is changing from that of pleasure to business Syria still lacks the necessary infrastructure to exploit the international acclaim WAHO registartional acclaim WAHO registration has broughr it there are only a handful of clubs and associations which promote horse breeding in Syria , and even less organized events from which breeders may earn a professional living .
The first horse club in Syria was the " sehnaya horse club " , established in 1970 with the support of the government – baked sport union club it included an arena where tournaments and championships were held basil al-assad , the late brother of the current president , subsequently established a club with Olympic pretensions , the club only takes horses of Syrian Bedouin pedigree and is considered an important source of pure – breed Arabians .
In 2002 the Syrian Arab horse association was founded in Damascus to boost the country's Arabian horse business . basel jadaan the head of the association , cites its
Aims as preserving the Syrian –Arabian bloodline by organizing events for breeders
For breeders it also plans to develop a library cataloguing the history of Syrian Arabian " horse breeding should be profitable both economically and spiritually and spiritually , " jadaan said " otherwise breeders will become extinct . " the ministry of agriculture is also arranging activities to promote breeding . there are track races on a monthly basis and tow annual horse shows . Mohammed al Shayeb , the head of the horse office and an international jury member in endurance races said four endurance racer per year are also being planned
I t's a start but by these activities seem insufficient to give horse breeding in Syria the boost it need to compete on a global level , four annual contests remains a far cry from the number of events which take place every week in Dubai – a place that has a much smaller population and whose horses boast nothing of Syria's pedigree . furthermore , Syria s paltry three Arabian equestrian associations compare Unfavorably with the many that abound in the small gulf state . until the industry attracts serious private investment , as well as ongoing government support , Syrian breeders will continue to have to look to outside markets to earn a living it's a situation which ensures Syria's unique potential as an international Arabian horse breeder remains unfulfilled " horse breeding is not profitable in Syria . " sami grayyeb said " without a lot of races championships and some government assistance , it simply doesn't pay

Football clubs are immortal. Even if they're going bust
Rangers and Portsmouth will not cease to exist because of a little thing like an unpaid tax bill
Will players agreeing to slash their salaries by 75 per cent stave off liquidation for Rangers Football Club? The club, which alongside Celtic has dominated Scottish football for more than a century, is not the only team under threat. It seems likely that Portsmouth FC, founded in 1898 and winners of the FA Cup only four years ago, will go the same route. Is this the end of football at Ibrox and Fratton Park? Will the clubs be dissolved and their stadiums turned into supermarkets or multistorey car parks? Are we witnessing the liquidation of our sporting heritage?
Not a chance. As with Greece, some creditors are about to lose a lot of money but, like nation states, football clubs are essentially immortal. Unless the…

Recap: American Crime S3 E2: It Didn't Happen on Our Property
In the second episode of American Crime Season 3 (3-19-2017), we got more details about some of the characters and met a few new ones.
Kimara Walters is asked to put whatever extra focus she can on the uncooperative teenage hooker, Shae Reese, to help convict her pimp, Billy Qualls, of trafficking a minor, a class D felony. Shae insists Billy didn't do anything but give her a place to stay. She was not as innocent as the driven snow before she met Billy, and it doesn't bother her that he was "running" 5 other kids. But she agrees to go to a shelter, where they have strict rules like no drugs; she has to study for her GED because she didn't graduate high school; and she can't come and go as she pleases. Shae isn't grateful to have a place now that Billy is locked up. In fact, she feels it's a step down to have to share a room with 7 girls, when it was only 5 with Billy. In her health checkup, we learn that Shae has done drugs like weed and oxy, and drinks– whatever, as she put it. She says she is almost 4 weeks pregnant, and it's not her first pregnancy, refusing to give any details about how the pregnancy ended the other time (we're assuming it was once).
Kimara isn't all fired up about helping Shae. She is just weary of trying to help people who don't want to be helped. She explains this to Abby Tanaka with this analogy: she feels like she is on a lifeboat that only holds 10 people, and there was a time where she didn't care that it would only hold 10. She would try to get 100 on it. Now she just accepts that she'll be lucky to get 10. It's really not a good analogy, if you ask us. Out at sea, people know they are going to drown and they will knock you off the lifeboat if that's what it takes to get a spot. But let's not nitpick. She is not only discouraged about her job but also about her thus far unsuccessful fertility treatments. On top of that, it bothers Kimara that the sperm donor is anonymous, so she goes to see an old flame named Reggie and asks him to be her sperm donor. Reggie has a kid who's getting ready to go to college. He cops to having thought that if he stayed with Kimara, she would be Jason's mother. (Not really, Reggie). Before he can give her an answer, Reggie has to find out how his wife feels about it. Jason called Kimara "Auntie" when she first arrived and she couldn't believe that he was taller than her. This suggests that she hasn't seen him in a while and is a "courtesy" aunt. In other words, we don't think Reggie's wife, Denise, is her sister but we'll see.
One of the farm captains gives Isaac Castillo a hard time, saying that he's coddling Coy, the little junkie white boy Isaac brought on board. The captain says Isaac is getting soft, when he tries to explain that Coy is sick, as in going through withdrawal. The captain says Coy isn't his girlfriend or even his dog and all Isaac has to do is make him work. Isaac goes to the bunkhouse and tells Coy that he's making him look bad. Coy tells him that he's going to try hard because he likes having a job. He called his brother and told his brother he has a job and doesn't need any money. It was surprising to us that Isaac gave Coy drugs. We got the impression that Isaac really has a soft spot for Coy. Otherwise, we think he would drive him cold turkey.
Luis confides in another worker that his real purpose in coming to North Carolina is to find his son. Teo had been working on a farm and sending money back every week, then suddenly it stopped. The worker cautions Luis to be careful who he talks to about it. Later, Luis is brought to a man named Da'uud who can give him some info about Teo for $20. Da'uud tells Luis enough to convince him that he's not being conned. Luis pays him and the go-between gets $10. He learns that Teo was told to leave the farm because he wasn't a good worker. He was always telling stories and when confronted about his lack of industriousness, he would not be intimidated. Da'uud says Teo was lucky that he was just told to move on (as opposed to being murdered, one infers). He says Teo didn't get the money that was owed to him so he must be working on a neighboring farm. Teo will be easy to find because people like the boy and remember him. Luis packs up his belongings and hits the road. One of the bosses orders him to stop but Luis will not be intimidated either. He dares the man– in English– to call the police and tell them how they've got 20 people living in trailers and how 15 of them just died when a fire broke out in one.
This tragedy actually occurred in the beginning of the episode and Carson Hesby was the first of the farm owners to be notified about it while he was out shopping for a hand-crafted hazel pecan dining room table with his wife, Jeanette. Carson directed the caller to his sister, Laurie Ann, and blew Jeanette off when she wanted to know what happened. Later, the Hesbys gathered for a fancy soiree. Jeanette noticed that her brother-in-law, J.D., was distraught and intuited that it was about the fire. She tried to pump him for information but he bailed in an Uber. Before leaving with Carson, she asked Laurie Ann about the fire and what they could do to help. Laurie Ann told her that sometimes helping is construed as an admission of wrongdoing. The victims, she said, are in their prayers.
The next day, Jeanette scoured the headlines for a news report on the fire to no avail. Carson got pissed off that she wouldn't let it go because she had already been told more than once that the fire didn't happen on their property. He told her to go visit her junkie sister, Raelyn, if she needed to help someone. Jeanette went instead to the scene of the fire where she learned that the victims were trapped inside the trailer when the fire broke out because they had put chicken wire on the windows to prevent the theft of their meager belongings when they were out working in the fields.
This isn't exactly the greatest comparison but that "it didn't happen on our property" bit brought to mind the policy we have often heard when school bullies attack other students off school grounds. Also, the guy who was showing Jeanette the burnt out trailer made a point of saying that they tell the workers not to put the chicken wire over the windows but they don't listen.

"So this is what it's like for my editing clients," I thought as I stared at the 18 pages of notes from my editor. A little less than two of those pages summarized the "positives" of my book.
But we authors don't send our manuscripts to editors to receive a document of praise in return. Nope, the editing process is self-inflicted torture that — if we can live through it — somehow results in increased determination, strength, and (hopefully) storytelling.
Handing over our literary babies to be scrutinized is such a strange a mixture of denial and harsh awareness. We like to think our manuscripts are perfect. We can't bear to receive a single harsh comment. And yet, somehow we know it's probably lightyears away from perfection and it will never get there without those harsh comments.
I'll admit, as I waited two weeks to get A Time to Die back from one of the best editors in the industry, I'd secretly hoped she'd say, "There's really not much work to do. Your writing, story, and characters are pretty close to perfect." And yet, at the same time, I would have been furious to receive that response.
Because I know it's not perfect.
Even after I spend the next month rewriting what I deem needs rewriting, it still won't be perfect. It will never be perfect because I'm not God. But editors can help us writers get it pretty darn close to perfect…as long as we're willing to bare our backs to the editorial whip.
Right now I sound pretty strong, don't I? Like I eat red pens for breakfast. Well, let me set you straight.
Before I even opened the document of editorial comments, I told myself, "Alright, Nadine. You're not going to like this. No amount of praise is going to make this easy." And I dedicated the next two days to an emotional meltdown.
I didn't edit. I didn't write. I didn't read. Instead, I went on a road trip to a concert with my little sister where I'd be forced to snack on chocolate and not think about my book.
Two days wasn't enough, but it was all the time I had for a meltdown. It's now been five days and I'm slowly climbing back onto the office chair. I brainstorm until I feel myself despairing and then I switch to something else. The pattern isn't flawless, but it's keeping me sane and determined.
During this process, I've thought a lot about my editing clients. Often times I feel helpless sending back a document of edits because I know, no matter how much I love a client's story and gush about the characters, many of my words will hurt. Even if I included a manual on How to Cope with Post-Edit Blues, it's still up to the author to push through.
The best I can do is to blog and say, "I've been there! I've been in your shoes! I'm there right now and I don't like it one bit. But I'm on your side, even as I stain your hard-worked pages with red. I'm on your side."
I'm on your side, friends. We are a team — writers and editors — to help refine these nuggets of gold we slip onto bookshelves. So push through. Cry. Eat that chocolate. Let your mom tell you, "Your story is still great, honey," (and believe her.) But never quit.
"In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials [*cough* writing *cough*] so that the tested genuineness of your faith — more precious than gold that perishes through it has been tested by fire — may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 1:6-7)
Have you ever had your manuscript edited? If so, share a little about your reaction and editing process. If not, do you plan to get it edited someday?

Even the name of this living, breathing turd sounds like a gay porn star.
In his latest rant for Brainerd--or should this be Braindead?--Baptist Church, this disease claims that God would want gay people to be killed. And of course he quotes the Bible's "against" verses while ignoring those which are clearly "for". Jesus said we should love all men--even this flabby-gutted piece of crud.
If Father Braindead's statement is not inciting violence in an already over-violent country, I don't know what is. There is no doubting that he and his cabbage-breath supporters are clearly a whole tray of sandwiches short of a picnic, and I wouldn't doubt that each and every one of them has some nasty skeleton lurking in their closet--closet being the operative word.
It's sad that his father wasn't a seer--this way he would have predicted what his son would have turned out like, and wiped it on the curtains.
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. The only good homophobe is a dead one.
I do however have a suggestion, should he wish to find out if The Lord is one his side. Maroon him in the middle of the ocean and see if he can walk back home.

Lists personal profiles of male and female inmates across the U.S. Organized by state.
46 years old, 5`10 tall, 170 pounds, with brown eyes and hair. I am serving a Life Sentence.
"60`s child" imprisoned in 1974 by Los Angeles County authorities, (the combine). My conviction for murder was the result of 12 months of psychological torment, (i.e. months spent in 4-point restraints, psychotropic medications, etc.) culminating in a plea agreement made under protest in open court in Santa Monica, CA. I am a man with an intense and persevering will, attempting to salvage a life utterly destroyed.
I am seeking serious-minded people who will help me in my struggle, and in the process bring "Los Angeles County authorities" to task. I am currently in Federal Court but my oppressors also have an intense and persevering will...and deep pockets...and will stop at nothing to thwart my goal.
Some of my favorites:
From "Jesse" on death row: "Expressive letter and photo if possible?"
(send me a nasty letter and naked pics, is what he`s trying to say)
Jason, life sentence: "I`m a fragile but brave-hearted desperado"..."I`m basically in quest of any of the two sexes who aren`t embarrassed nor reluctant to reveal their animalistic instincts and desires, and for that consistent someone that wants to make a correspondence commitment to journey through those murky and long swivelling roads in my mind."
Ron, serving a life sentence: "I am a convicted killer..."
(props to him for being honest!!)
Linda, a life sentencer: "Tantalizing Private Dancer with a thirst for carnal uncontrollable passion filled moments."
I feel kinda sorry for these people. :-?
Son of a.........
For all of you who like those ``bad`` boys and girls!
