Interviewed : Plans and Presents Feature and Interview
Surrey Wedding Photographers Interview – January 2017
I've spent a lot of time on the writing of this website. Possibly too much time, I don't know.
I'm not particularly a writer. It's not where my strengths lie, but I enjoy writing and I enjoy telling a story.
What's incredibly hard, and I think a lot of photographers will agree with me here, is writing in a way that gets across a central philosophy without sounding creepy, and also explains a sense of experience or confidence without sounding arrogant. There are a lot of fine lines in between all of that stuff, and once you factor in that, and understand that what you've just written can and will be interpreted in any number of ways, you can often end up with a blank screen in front of you wondering where all those ideas have evaporated to.
I'm a photographer. I'm good at that.
But I don't think I've ever written something that I'm 100% happy with. Maybe 80%. Maybe some other arbitrary number.
I'm not very good at maths either!
Anyway, today it was lovely to wake up to a message from Alison from Plans & Presents. She's featured a few of the weddings I've photographed before, which is high praise indeed, and I've always been very grateful. I love her blog, not only for this reason, but because it genuinely is one of the most highly regarded and universally inclusive Wedding Blogs out there. It seems to me that Alison's niche market is along the lines of "If it's good quality, it's in" and with that comes a wealth and diversity of real weddings that are interesting, often unique, and always, always full of inspiration and a kind of wholesome goodness that just shines.
At the end of last year Alison interviewed me as a featured Wedding Photographer to be up on her Blog, and along with a few photographs, that interview was published today. The interview format is great for me because I don't have to write it on my About Me page or my Blog! And it's great publicity too, which is a great way to start the new year for me.
Thanks Alison, let's talk again soon

How often do you hear that someone doubled their email signups with just a few clicks and added 10,000 new email subscribers in a month?
At OptinMonster, we hear tons of cool stories like this from our customers.
When you start recovering abandoning website visitors, you will be surprised by how effective onsite retargeting can be.
In this case study, we will show you how Yoast doubled his email signups and added over 10,000 email subscribers in 30 days!
Who is Yoast?
Joost de Valk aka Yoast is the founder and CEO of the popular WordPress SEO plugin Yoast SEO which runs on approximately 4 million websites (including ours).
Yoast is a household name among bloggers, webmasters and SEOs.
Like any other business owner, Joost wanted to grow his email list.
Despite being skeptical about popups, he decided to give OptinMonster a try.
"I was once a disbeliever myself. I didn't like popups at all. But the results speak for themselves, it just works. OptinMonster makes it super easy and is well worth the money." – Joost
Let's take a look at what Yoast did that helped him double his email signups.
Simple Design, Massive Results
Now if you saw our Kampanjjakt case study, then you're probably thinking that Yoast probably has an equally complicated popup.
Not at all. Yoast used our Clean Slate theme with a custom image to achieve these results.
Yoast's OptinMonster setup included:
- An exit-intent popup that used our Clean Slate theme
- A mobile popup using the Clean Slate mobile theme
- A content upgrade MonsterLink which also uses the Clean Slate theme
What's even cooler is that all of his optins looked nearly identical. They were just shown to different users at different times.
Some of his users saw this optin when they were about to leave his website (exit-intent). Others saw it when they were browsing his site on mobile, and some saw it when they clicked on a specific download button.
Upon signup, the users were added to Yoast's MailChimp email list with our built-in MailChimp integration, and they received a free eBook.
"We doubled our opt-in rate, by simply only using an exit intent popup." – Joost
While the setup looks simple, there is a very key underlying factor without which no optin design will convert.
And that's relevance!
Yoast's free eBook incentive is highly relevant and useful for his website visitors.
Considering Joost is well-known for SEO, downloading an optimization book from him is a no-brainer specially when it is free.
Key Lesson
As you can see, Yoast team did not create a super complicated custom popup. Rather they used our Clean Slate theme and uploaded a custom image in the placeholder.
The main lesson here is that all you need is a targeted free resource (eBook, checklist, video, etc) and an exit-intent popup to grow your email list.
When you hear people say that you need more traffic to get more subscribers, it's not TRUE.
What you need is to stop losing abandoning visitors and start converting them into email subscribers by offering them free resources using the exit-intent popup.
Want similar results?
Whether you use MailChimp like Yoast, or any other email marketing service, OptinMonster can help you grow your email list in just a few clicks.
I asked Joost, what was his favorite part about OptinMonster considering he has used so many other solutions, and he said:
"The ease of use of the whole thing. Even though I dislike popups, it makes it almost enjoyable." – Joost

This invention relates to single-pass inkjet printing.
In typical inkjet printing, a print head delivers ink in drops from orifices to pixel positions in a grid of rows and columns of closely spaced pixel positions.
Often the orifices are arranged in rows and columns. Because the rows and columns in the head do not typically span the full number of rows or the full number of columns in the pixel position grid, the head must be scanned across the substrate (e.g., paper) on which the image is to be printed.
To print a full page, the print head is scanned across the paper in a head scanning direction, the paper is moved lengthwise to reposition it, and the head is scanned again at a new position. The line of pixel positions along which an orifice prints during a scan is called a print line.
In a simple scheme suitable for low resolution printing, during a single scan of the print head adjacent orifices of the head print along a stripe of print lines that represent adjacent rows of the pixel grid. After the stripe of lines is printed, the paper is advanced beyond the stripe and the next stripe of lines is printed in the next scan.
High-resolution printing provides hundreds of rows and columns per inch in the pixel grid. Print heads typically cannot be fabricated with a single line of orifices spaced tightly enough to match the needed printing resolution.
To achieve high resolution scanned printing, orifices in different rows of the print head can be offset or inclined, print head scans can be overlapped, and orifices can be selectively activated during successive print head scans.
In the systems described so far, the head moves relative to the paper in two dimensions (scanning motion along the width of the paper and paper motion along its length between scans).
Inkjet heads can be made as wide as an area to be printed to allow so-called single-pass scanning. In single-pass scanning, the head is held in a fixed position while the paper is moved along its length in an intended printing direction. All print lines along the length of the paper can be printed in one pass.
Single-pass heads may be assembled from linear arrays of orifices. Each of the linear arrays is shorter than the full width of the area to be printed and the arrays are offset to span the full printing width. When the orifice density in each array is smaller than the needed print resolution, successive arrays may be staggered by small amounts in the direction of their lengths to increase the effective orifice density along the width of the paper. By making the print head wide enough to span the entire breadth of the substrate, the need for multiple back and forth passes can be eliminated. The substrate may simply be moved along its length past the print head in a single pass. Single-pass printing is faster and mechanically simpler than multiple-pass printing.
Theoretically, a single integral print head could have a single row of orifices as long as the substrate is wide. Practically, however, that is not possible for at least two reasons.
One reason is that for higher resolution printing (e.g., 600 dpi), the spacing of the orifices would be so small as to be mechanically unfeasible to fabricate in a single row, at least with current technology. The second reason is that the manufacturing yield of orifice plates goes down rapidly with increases in the number of orifices in the plate. This occurs because there is a not insignificant chance that any given orifice will be defective in manufacture or will become defective in use. For a print head that must span a substrate width of, say, 10 inches, at a resolution of 600 dots per inch, the yield would be intolerably low if all of the orifices had to be in a single orifice plate.
In general, in one aspect, the invention features a single-pass ink jet printing head having an array of ink jet outlets sufficient to cover a target width of a print substrate at a predetermined resolution. There are multiple orifice plates each having orifices. Each of the orifice plates serves some but not all of the area to be printed. The orifices in the array are arranged in a pattern such that adjacent parallel lines on the print medium are served by orifices that have positions in the array along the direction of the print lines that are separated by a distance that is at least an order of magnitude greater than the distance between adjacent orifices in a direction perpendicular to the print line direction.
Implementations of the invention may include one or more of the following features. Each of the orifice plates may be associated with a print head module that prints a swath along the substrate, the swath being narrower than the target width of the substrate. The number of orifices in each of the orifice plates may be within a range of 250 to 4000, preferably between 1000 and 2000, most preferably about 1500. There may be no more than five swath arrays, e.g., three, to cover the entire target width.
Other advantages and features will become apparent from the following description and from the claims.
FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 illustrate web weave.
FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate line merging.
FIG. 6 illustrates the interplay of web weave and line merging.
FIG. 7 is a graph of line spread as a function of distance.
FIG. 8 is a diagram of a page moving under a single-pass print head.
FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a swath module.
FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of orifice staggering.
FIG. 11 is a graphical diagram of orifice staggering.
FIG. 12 is a table of orifice locations.
FIG. 13 is a graphical diagram of orifice staggering.
FIG. 14 is an exploded perspective assembly drawing of a swath module.
The quality of printing generated by a single-pass inkjet print head can be improved by the choice of pattern of orifices that are used to print adjacent print lines. An appropriate choice of pattern provides a good tradeoff between the effect of web weave and the possibility of print gaps caused by poor line merging.
As seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, paper 10 that is moved along its length during printing is subject to so-called web weave, which is the tendency of the web (e.g., paper) not to track perfectly along the intended direction 12, but instead to move back and forth in a direction 14 perpendicular to the intended printing direction. Web weave can degrade the quality of inkjet printing.
Web weave can be measured in mils per inch. A weave of 0.2 mils per inch means that for each inch of web travel in the intended direction, the web may travel as much as 0.2 mils to one side or the other. As seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the inkjet orifices are not arranged in a single straight line along the paper width, but instead are spaced apart along the intended direction of web motion, the web weave produces an adjacency error 17 in drop placement compared with an intended adjacency distance 15. For example, with a web weave of 0.2 mils per inch and a spacing between neighboring orifices of 1.5 inches in the web motion direction, an adjacency error of 0.3 mils in the direction perpendicular to the main direction of motion may be introduced in the distance between resulting adjacent print lines.
If avoiding the effects of web weave were the only concern, a good pattern would minimize the spacing along the print line direction between orifices addressing adjacent print lines. In such an arrangement, the adjacent lines would be printed at nearly the same times and web weave would have almost no effect. Yet, for a head with twelve modules spaced along the print line direction (see FIG. 10), it would not be good to have a repeated pattern in which the orifices that print adjacent print lines are only one module apart (e.g., in modules 1, 2, . . . , 11, 12, 1, 2, . . . ). In that case, the final orifice in the pattern would be in the twelfth module, eleven modules away from the first orifice in the second repetition of the pattern, which would be in the first module again.
As seen in FIG. 2, for purposes of avoiding the effects of web weave, a pattern with a maximum spacing of two modules would work well. The modules printing successive pixels in the direction perpendicular to the intended motion of the web could be modules 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and then back to 1. However, as explained below, when the effects of poor line merging are also considered, this pattern is not ideal. On the other hand, as seen in FIG. 3, if adjacent lines are printed by modules separated by, say, five modules along the intended direction of web motion, the effects of web weave are more significant.
As seen in FIG. 4, another cause of poor inkjet printing quality may occur when all pixels in a given area 16 are to be filled by printing several continuous, adjacent lines 18. In printing each of the continuous lines, a series of drops 20 rapidly merge to form a line 22 which spreads 24, 26 laterally (in the two opposite directions perpendicular to the print line direction) across the paper surface. Ideally, adjacent lines that are spreading eventually reach each other and merge 28 to fill a two-dimensional region (stripe) that extends both along and perpendicularly to the line direction.
For non-absorbent web materials, the spreading of a line edge is said to be contact angle limited. (The contact angle is the angle between the web surface and the ink surface at the edge where the ink meets the web surface, viewed in cross-section.) As the line spreads, the contact angle gets smaller. When the contact angle reaches a lower limit (e.g., 10 degrees) line spreading stops.
As adjacent lines merge, the contact angle of the line edges declines. The rate of lateral spread of the merged stripe declines because the reduced contact angle produces higher viscous retarding forces and lower surface tension driving forces. The reduction in lateral spreading can produce white gaps 30 between adjacent lines that have respectively merged with their neighbors on the other side from the gap.
The lateral spread rate of the edges of one or more merged print lines varies inversely with the third power of the number of lines merged. By this rule, when two lines (or stripes) merge into a single stripe, the rate at which the edges of the merged stripe spread laterally is eight times slower than the rate at which the constituent lines or stripes were spreading. However, when the spreading is contact angle limited, the effect of merging can be to stop the spreading. Consequently, as printing progresses various pairs of adjacent lines and/or stripes merge or fail to merge depending on the distances between their neighboring edges and the rates of spreading implied by the numbers of their constituent original lines. For some pairs of adjacent lines and/or stripes, the rate of spreading stops or becomes so small as to preclude the gap ever being filled. The result is a permanent undesired un-printed gap 30 that remains unfilled even after the ink solidifies.
The orifice printing pattern that may best reduce the effects of poor line merging tends to increase the negative effects of web weave.
As seen in FIG. 5, ideally, to reduce the effects of poor line merging, every other line 40, 42, 44, 46 would be printed at the same time and be allowed to spread without merging, leaving a series of parallel gaps 41, 43, 45 to be filled. After allowing as much time as possible to pass, so that the remaining gaps become as narrow as possible, the remaining lines would be filled in by bridging the gaps using the intervening drop streams, as shown, taking account of the splat diameter that is achieved as a result of the splat of a drop as it hits the paper, so that no additional spread is required to achieve a solid printed region without gaps. By splat diameter, we mean the diameter of the ink spot that is generated in the fraction of a second after a jetted ink drop hits the substrate and until the inertia associated with the jetting of the drop has dissipated. During that period, the spreading of the drop is governed by the relative influences of inertia (which tends to spread the drop) and viscosity (which tends to work against spreading.) Allowing as much time as possible to pass before laying down the intervening drop streams would mean an orifice printing pattern in which adjacent lines are laid down by orifices that are spaced apart as far as possible along the print line direction, exactly the opposite of what would be best to reduce the effect of web weave.
A useful distance along the print line direction between orifices that print adjacent lines would trade off the web weave and line spreading factors in an effective way. As seen in FIG. 6, assume for the moment (we will relax this requirement later) that the orifices are arranged in two lines 50, 52 that contain adjacent orifices. We would like to find a good distance 54 between the lines. Assume also that web weave causes the web to move to the left at a constant rate (at least for the short distance under consideration) of W mils per inch of web motion in the line printing direction. Assume also that the line edge 60 spreads away from a center of a printed line at a rate that is expressed by a declining function S (d) mils per inch where d is the distance from the point where the drops are ejected onto the paper. FIG. 7 shows three similar curves 81, 82, 83 of calculated spread rate versus distance along the web since ejection for three different splat diameters.
In the example, the important consideration arises with respect to the printing of drop 62 (FIG. 6), which is effectively moving to the right in the figure (because of web weave) and the motion of the edge of line 60 to the right. At first, as the line is formed from the series of ejected drops, the line edge is moving more rapidly to the right than would be the position of drop 62 with distance along the web. Thus, the overlap of the splat and the spreading line increases. However, the rate of line spreading decreases while the rate of web weave, in a short distance, does not, so the amount of overlap reaches a peak and begins to decline. We seek a position for drop 62 that maximizes the overlap. The maximum overlap occurs when the rate of spreading equals the rate of web weave.
In FIG. 7 horizontal lines can be drawn to represent web weave rates. For web weave rates between 0.1 and 0.2 mils per inch, represented by lines 68, 69, the intersections with curves 81, 82, 83 occur in the range of 0.8 to 2.2 inches separation.
As seen in FIG. 8, a print head that can be operated using an orifice printing pattern that falls within the range shown in FIG. 7, includes three swath modules 0, 1, and 2, shown schematically. The three swath modules respectively print three adjacent swaths 108, 110, 112 along the length of the paper as the paper is moved in the direction indicated by the arrow.
As seen in FIG. 9, each swath module 130 has twelve linear array modules arranged in parallel. Each array module has a row of 128 orifices 134 that have a spacing interval of 12/600 inches for printing at a resolution of 600 pixels per inch across the width of the paper. (The number of orifices and their shapes are indicated only schematically in the figure.)
As seen in FIG. 10, to assure that every pixel position across the width of the paper is covered by an orifice that prints one of the needed print lines 140 along the length of the paper, the twelve identical array modules are staggered (the staggering is not seen in FIG. 9) in the direction of the lengths of the arrays. As seen, the first orifice (marked by a large black dot) in each of the modules thus uniquely occupies a position along the width of the paper that corresponds to one of the needed print lines.
In the bottom array module shown in the figure, the position of the second orifice is shown by a dot, but the subsequent orifice locations in that array and in the other arrays are not shown. Also, although FIG. 10 shows the pattern of staggering for one of the three swath modules, the other two swath modules have another, different pattern of staggering, described below.
In FIG. 11, the patterns of staggering for all three swath modules are shown graphically. The patterns have a sawtooth profile. Each orifice is either upstream or downstream along the printing direction of both of the neighboring orifices with only one exception, at the transition between swath module 0 and swath module 1. The graph for each swath module contains dots to show which of the first twelve pixels that are covered by that swath module is served by the first orifice of each of the array modules. The graph for each swath module only shows the pattern of staggering but does not show all of the orifices of the module. The pattern repeats 127 times to the right of the pattern shown for each swath module. For that purpose the twelfth pixel in each series is considered the zeroth pixel in the next series. Similarly, the module array numbered 12 in swath module 1 effectively occupies the 0 position along the Y axis in the swath modules 0 and 2 (although the figure, for clarity, does not show it that way).
FIG. 12 is a table that gives X and Y locations in inches of the first orifice of each of the array modules that make up swath module 0, relative to the position of pixel 1. FIG. 12 demonstrates the staggering pattern of array modules. For swath module 0, the pixel positions of the first orifices are listed in the column labeled "pixel". The module number of the array module to which the first orifice that prints that pixel belongs is shown in the column labeled "module number". The X location of the pixel in inches is shown in the column labeled "X location". The Y location of the pixel is shown in the column marked "Y location." The swath 2 module is arranged identically to the swath 0 module and the swath 1 module is arranged identically to (is congruent to) the other two modules (with a 180 degrees rotation).
The gap in the Y direction between the final orifice (numbered 1536) of the swath 0 module and the first orifice (numbered 1537) of the swath 1 module, 0.989 inches, violates the rule that each orifice is either upstream or downstream along the printing direction of both of the neighboring orifices. On the other hand, the gap in the Y direction between the final orifice (numbered 3072) of the swath 1 module and first orifice (numbered 3073) of the swath 2 module is 4.19 inches, which is good for line merge but not good for web weave.
Thus, in the example of FIGS. 10 through 12, the distance along the web direction that corresponds to the X-axis of FIG. 7 is between 1.2 and 2.0 inches for every adjacent pair of printing line orifices (which is more than an order of magnitude and almost two orders of magnitude larger than the orifice spacing—1/50 inch—in a given array module) except for the pairs that span the transitions between swath modules. Although there is some difference in the web direction distances for different pairs of orifices, it is desirable to keep the ratio of the smallest distance to the largest distance close to one, to derive the greatest benefit from the principles described above. In the case of FIGS. 11 and 12, the ratio is 1.67 (excluding the two transitional pairs).
The range of distances along the web direction discussed above implies a range of delay times between when an ink drop hits the substrate and when the next adjacent ink drops hit the substrate, depending on the speed of web motion along the printing direction. For a web speed of 20 inches per second, the range of distances of 1.2 to 2.0 inches translate to a range of durations of 0.06 to 0.1 seconds.
Each swath module includes an orifice plate adjacent to the orifice faces of the array modules. The orifice plate has a staggered pattern of holes that conform to the pattern described above. One benefit of the patterns of the table of FIG. 7 is that the orifice plate of swath modules 0, 1, and 2 are identical except that the orifice plate for swath module 1 is rotated 180 degrees compared to the other two. Because only one kind of orifice plate needs to be designed and fabricated, production costs are reduced.
In FIG. 13, the swath 1 and 2 modules have been shifted to the left by two pixel positions relative to its position in FIG. 11. The twelfth pixel in module 0 (1536) and the first pixel in module 1 (1537) are disabled. The result is that the distance along the printing direction is increased to 4.589 inches, a distance that is worse with respect to web weave but better with respect to line merging.
FIG. 14 shows the construction of each of the swath modules 130. The swath module has a manifold/orifice plate assembly 200 and a sub-frame 202 which together provide a housing for a series of twelve linear array module assemblies 204. Each module assembly includes a piezoelectric body assembly 206, a rock trap 207, a conductive lead assembly 208, a clamp bar 210, and mounting washers 213 and 214 and screws 215. The module assemblies are mounted in groups of three. The groups are separated by stiffeners 220 that are mounted using screws 222. Two electric heaters 230 and 232 are mounted in sub-frame 202. An ink inlet fitting 240 carries ink from an external reservoir, not shown, through the sub-frame 202 into channels in the manifold assembly 200. From there the ink is distributed through the twelve linear array module assemblies 204, back into the manifold 200, and out through the sub-frame 202 and exit fitting 242, returning eventually to the reservoir. Screws 244 are used to assemble the manifold to the sub-frame 200. Set screws 246 are used to hold the heaters 232. O-rings 250 provide seals to prevent ink leakage.
The number of swath arrays and the number of orifices in each swath array are selected to provide a good tradeoff between the scrap costs associated with discarding unusable orifice plates (which are more prevalent when fewer plates each having more orifices are used) and the costs of assembling and aligning multiple swath arrays in a head (which increase with the number of plates). The ideal tradeoff may change with the maturity of the manufacturing process.
The number of orifices in the orifice plate that serves the swath is preferably in the range of 250 to 4000, more preferably in the range of 1000-2000, and most preferably about 1500. In one example the head has three swath arrays each having twelve staggered linear arrays of orifices to provide 600 lines per inch across a 7.5 inch print area. The plate that serves each swath array then has 1536 orifices.
Other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims.
For example, the print head could be a single two-dimensional array of orifices or any combination of array modules or swath arrays with any number of orifices. The number of swath arrays could be one, two, three, or five, for example. Good separations along the print line direction between orifices that print adjacent print lines will depend on the number and spacing of the orifices, the sizes of the array modules, the relative importance of web weave, line merging, and cost of manufacture in a given application, and other factors.
The amount of web weave that can be tolerated is higher for lower resolution printing. Different inks could be used although ink viscosity and surface tension will affect the degree of line merging.
Other patterns of orifices could be used when the main concern is web weave or when the main concern is line merging.

Is it possible to speed optimize PHP and how?
The Web Design Journal
I would guess that 99% of the time where there is a problem with a PHP script running too slow, it's not the PHP - it's the database and the SQL used to interact with it. However, if you're having systemic PHP performance problems, you might want to look into something like Zend Platform, which includes a number of performance features.

Justice on How Women Inspire Their Music, Their New Album and What They Think of Diplo
Ahead of the release of their third studio album, Justice sits down with Maxim to discuss the new LP as well as their controversial video on racial tensions and their thoughts on popular American DJs like Diplo and fame in general.This article originally appeared on MAXIM
(Photo: David Wolff-Patrick/WireImage/Getty Images)
The French EDM duo is back with its third album, 'Woman.'
After five years of silence, the sounds of EDM's enfant terrible, Justice, makes a welcome return to swanky rooftop bars and hipster dance dens with its third album, Woman.
Featuring a children's chorus on the vocals, the lead single "Safe and Sound" harkens back to the French duo's biggest hit to date, "D.A.N.C.E." from its debut, Cross. But the distorted, occasionally harsh sounds that made the electro group both musically divisive and criminally underplayed on the dance floor are toned down, instead allowing funky disco breaks, synths and slap bass to take center stage.
The end result is a more upbeat and mellow record, a take fans and music critics alike have uniformly praised. "We didn't expect people to welcome it so much," Xavier de Rosnay, who makes up the group with his more taciturn companion Gaspard Augé, admitted. "We're so used to having half of people liking something and the other half hating it. We're never overconfident...

i'm older not that much wiser was wise from the beginning, born with a mission to say it how it is, a rare feat these days in a world of spun news, where the fabric of truth is of so many textures, no one knows what's been said or by whom….many albums later, and cheery nights a few brandies and a new book, i'm getting older now and so is my voice, but the truth remains the same, in the days ahead let the truth out, one day it might surprise you, amen. thanks Mr Cohen for the insightful thoughts and many more years ahead, amen.

All Along the Barriers
between minds,
fouled up,
along comes,
what's that,
it's for others,
child frowns,
hears stories,
see's toys,
smiles everywhere,
except home,
just a day,
these barriers,
isn't it time,
we tore,
who can complain if children of all types and religions, get the opportunity to play together, who wins, everyone seeking peace,
climate chat
too many chemicals in the air the bee's in trouble,
too many promises that they will never ever keep,
too many chat's about the climate we depend upon,
to many leaders with their paws in the candy jar,
so what climate are they talking the change of,
the political climate the social climate what then!,
they said all this more than forty years ago,
and we all know what has happened since then.!
Is Today
Mutilating female body parts,
marking the parts below,
what are they stating,
there's a problem there,
and we wonder about example,
where do they learn such things,
is is is,
two is
three is
"all there is is is today"
all about me
Me, me, what about me, my life, my love, my performance last night, my oh my, this my thing can last a life time, my oh my, my God, my children, my pension, never my environment, my oh my, when it's called being responsible, my doesn't enter the equation, my, why that, my, never thought of that, my, and when my, becomes all about me, it usually means the end of me, there is no me when it comes to loving, yes, you got it, no room for me in the rules of love, my oh my, what will me do, when it's all about me, meaning life, it shrinks, you end up needing a shrink, great if your self obsessed and can afford it, great if you're a salesman, absolutely insane, if it's love you need, cause if it's all about me, there is nothing left for anyone else, cause you spend all you time, thinking about me, amen. God shares loves encourages and provides, in the most wonderful ways, if he thought about me, I don't assume, I'm certain, none of our world would ever have existed, room for thought about me, as they say, aaah, what about me, me just got lost, and two became one, love wins every time. Check the image in the sky, it's about us all, not me!
Godly Intervention
screams and cries hear our pleading, the call of vengance echo's throughout the world, situations manufactured, the Great God Most High, he sees the deception no one is going to fool him, will deal with the evil one's head on. Seeds are sown hoping to undermine, traitors and friends scheme in the background, reminders the Davos Elite, God Most High watches closely, sending down the angels, into their arms he holds us safely, the battle begins the words fly, the book of the living opens in the skies, God Most High lets out a smile, see the image below it's real, friends and those to trust are in short supply, he sends down wisdom to prop up their efforts, the horses run faster the results speak for themselves, salvation has arrived in the city, they have learned to love again, their wicked plans are in pieces, that's the way it is smiles God, it was a close horse race, but it's the thrill that encourages the seekers, just climbing the mountain, a little higher up a hand reaches, it was you he smiles as he stands on the peak of it, a lot of trouble in the valley below, avalanche and snowfalls, de dum de dum de dum dum dee, great ideas come in well wrapped secrets, amen. No one is blameless here, the watchers and the beers, the world is a gift, not a playground for your every desires, and the power you crave.
Understanding Love
Understanding Love
- everyone needs it, it's never yours, don't abuse it
- it's a gift
- the only one
and at the end of your life, you'll have to account for it, did you hold it too tight, did you bury it under the mattress, did you distort it, were you outwardly an angel, a devil in the dark, love is the only intangible of Interest to God Most High, the guy in the Sky picture, he's divine and connected as they say, so when he taps the door, will you hand him a bowl of sorrows, a fridge full of excuses, or some refined love. It's not often we get warnings in the sky, perhaps it's time for wholesale change, a limit on behaviour, a wealth limit too, as too few with so much distort an awful lot. I hear your reaction already, share, you got to be kidding, horror, I'll have to sell my private jet, not even close, more more more, well, you can't carry it into the grave with you, the Egyptians tried that, and you see what happened there, the ending wasn't the one they planned for, and I don't see why that will change, unless we all change, and the picture of the Man in the Sky, is a calling to all, from a divine source, amen.

I know the family that started GRI, Brian, Elaine, Shaunessy ,Jayden, Lorianne . What a giving heart this family has. They have been GOD'S servants for years and they back it up with their testimony to love GOD and help all people in the world!! I have been donating for awhile and I know that the money they receive goes to help the people that need it most. This is a great opportunity to help someone by your donations or you can volunteer with your time. Thank the LORD for people like these who are in action and not just talking about it. Everyday they are helping the poor and broken . Thank you GRI for going beyond our everyday lives here in the USA, while you are reaching the lost and needy.
I have had the privilege of seeing GRI in action in November of 2015 while on an assessment trip with them to the Congo. I was blown away! Their expertise and knowledge of the area, the people, the culture, and how to best serve those who desperately need it, was amazing.
We visited several refugee camps where people were dying of malnutrition and disease, it was quite overwhelming, and the thought of meeting the incredible needs seemed almost impossible given the location and the urgent needs. But within 48 hours GRI had a plan in place and was moving forward with life saving aid!!
If you would like your donation to go to an organization that will use your money wisely and is making a difference in the lives of those that other organizations have forgotten, then GRI is the organization for you. We at Builders Without Borders are so impressed that we are teaming up with GRI this summer and building a medical clinic in Uganda.
I have known the founder of global refuge international Brian McNeely for over eight years and have served overseas as a volunteer in one of their programs in Uganda, I find this organization to be extremely competent, financially efficient, and focused specifically on the needs of the individual victims of human and physical disaster caused crisis they serve in the field. They go to places that most organizations would not dare to go into and work with indigenous people to get the work accomplished. I highly recommend this organization for anyone who wants to be involved personally or financially and caring for people difficult places around the world.

Previous Stories
I have been with GRI for sevev years and know first hand what it means to "Abandon the Middle" Go and Give to share the Love of Christ in a dark place meeting needs face to face with people in desperate need. GRI gets the most bang for the buck of any organization I know. Monte Watson MA, MHA, OTR. US Army Major, Retired. JOIN us!
Donor beware! This organization is a far cry from the honest Christian organization they claim to be. We supported family members through this organization in Uganda. On the ground the work they claimed to be going on was not, and there were serious issues with what the money was actually being used for. When they could not resolve these issues, they returned to the states, and GRI kept forty percent of their donor support despite numerous requests for them to return the donations to their supporters. If I felt that my donations were going to the causes they claimed I would have been willing to leave it with them, but my dealings with GRI lead me to believe it is all smoke and mirrors on their part. They may serve the needs of college students looking to get involved in missions trips, but do not invest any serious money with this organization. It is a family operation that appears to be in business to keep the family operating. There are too many other trustworthy Christian organizations that need your support to bother with this one.
GRI is Global Refuge International. This mission organization sprang from the heart of the founder of GRI who personally experienced the shock and horror that occurs to people groups persecuted by governments and militant groups. He joined a mission team to a remote people group, spent time with the local people group, returned home and learned of the destruction of the village and death of villagers at the hands of the government military just days after the missionaries left. At that point, the GRI mission work came into existence. For me, I was hooked after learning of the work GRI does - ministering to the medical, cultural and spiritual needs of the most persecuted people groups or those from 3rd world countries who are in the midst of a natural disaster. Several summers back, I joined a team to work in an HIV medical mission in northern Uganda. During that mission trip, I interacted and did ministry work daily with local Ugandans living in the county. The work shared amongst the Ugandan locals and the US based missionaries evidenced organization, passion, compassion , and capability - GRI in a snapshot. I continue to support GRI on a consistent basis. I've been to the African continent 3 times, to Europe and South America. My experience in northern Uganda with GRI was the most meaningful and heart inspiring experience of my life. Anyway in which you can support GRI will be well worth it.
Review from Guidestar
I am passionate about the work of GRI. They aren't concerned about "fluff". They are concerned about meeting needs in hard places. I have had the pleasure of visiting both of their projects and can't say enough about their work. God is using them!
Review from Guidestar
You cannot compliment GRI enough for their work. They go places that are often neglected and do things that few others are willing to do, like train medics from Burma who cross the border to Thailand to get taught by GRI staff. This organization makes the world a better place.
Review from Guidestar
The work done by GRI is unbelievable in that the volunteers and workers are working under the continual threat of death or harm. To help a population under such severe circumstances is the ultimate in sacrafice. Any and all donations, grants and funds to support this organization is money well spent. The founders of this organization have literally put their entire family at risk of extreme hardship to help another population far removed from the USA and often forgotten that desperately need assistance. As God watches over these volunteers and workers join me in saying a prayer for their safe passage on their journey and give whatever resources you can. LFM
Review from Guidestar
I appreciate the fact that the money donated to this organization is used for the purpose I intended it-there is minimal overhead-and the leaders of the organization are the ones that actually go to the areas in the countries that they help. It is very refreshing to work with a non-profit that doesn't hire fund-raisers who are clueless about what they are doing.
Review from Guidestar
I like the way that Global Refuge International stretches it's money to go as far as possible.
Review from Guidestar
I love the fact that someone at GRI had thoughtful knowledge along with the LORD'S plan of action to help people in ares of the world that many of us would not and most likely never go. I am a supporter of this ministry because I know the folks at GRI and I know I am one that would not leave the comforts of home, to venture out into the world to help others in need.
These compassionate people do just that daily while I send in my monetary support as I feel this is my part of GRI. I am proud to call the folks at GRI disciples going out into the world to help less fortunate people. We owe them alot of gratitude and thanks for their roles.
Review from Guidestar
GRI is a tremendous organization. The people who work and volunteer for this non profit are committed, highly skilled, and compassionate. GRI travels to places where people are in dire need of medical assistance, education for their safety and life choices, and overall human tenderness.
I really appreciate this group and hope someday to actually volunteer in some capacity- to help those who can not help themselves.
Penny Case, RN
Review from Guidestar
GRI is an outstanding organization dedicated to helping abused and neglected people around the world. I am familiar with their work in Burma (medic training) and Uganda (HIV prevention). Excellent management team. Very responsive in informing and educating their sponsors.

Review for Camp Sunshine at Sebago Lake Inc, Casco, ME, USA
My husband and I have volunteered at Camp Sunshine for the last 7 years and we look forward to our colunteer week each year. We love being able to provide a wonderful vacation for these families that otherwise might not take a vacation due to their child's illness. In all honesty, I think we get more out of the experience than the families do, we get to meet great friends, keep in touch with some wonderful families, watch children grow, and make people smile all while having fun ourselves. The Camp offers lots of activities for kids and adults alike, the staff is very hands on and involved, you can always find someone to assist you when needed, and the volunteers are attentive and top-notch. We have also given financially to Camp and have encouraged others to volunteer or donate as they could.

Anyway you get five. To define it we will say you get five knives to suit every normal cutting need. No need to get sidetracked into strictly kitchen culinary stuff, herilooms or industrial things like razor knives, I am thinking more general purpose, survival, defense type stuff. These knives could fill most of those other roles anyway. In no particular order here we go.
First I thought about a good all around edc knife. For this I would choose a Buck 110. A great knife to carry around. It won't cause any awkward looks in a sheath on your belt but it handles and cuts like crazy. If I found myself stuck in the woods with one I would not feel at a serious disadvantage.
Next I considered something I could carry concealed and use effectively as a weapon. Without a doubt this would be a cold steel push knife. I have a bit of experience in knife fighting but a decent background in striking and knifepunching people seems rather intuitive to me.
A relatively large sheath knife for general purposes or fighting came next. I would have to go with a Ka Bar for this. Ergonomic as can be with a big solid blade, not much to argue with here. They are just a darn good knife and I cannot imagine not owning one.
A multi tool is just a darn useful thing to have. I do not carry one as I do not use them that frequently but I keep them at home and in my ruck. I like the original leatherman. (Pictured is a SOG multi tool because my leatherman is MIA.)
Lastly I would want a solid camping/ survival kind of blade. Without a doubt I choose the cold steel kukuri. A few years ago I was watching Lost and thought "what knife would I want if I was stuck on a jungle island?" and ended up buying one of these. They are definitely pricey and it would be genuinely hard to argue they are worth the price when you can get a good machete for 30 bucks or so but I happy that I own one.
Narrowly missing selection was the Buck 119 special which is just a darn good knife. Great as a hunting knife or for all manner of tasks. In all honesty sentimentality is probably the reason the Kabar beat it out for the general purpose sheath knife spot.
Noteably absent is the modern one hand opening "tactical" folder with a pocket clip. I am just really soured on them due to a slew of bad experiences with a variety of big name models. I fiddled with a small belt knife to do everything. It worked OK but carrying one all the time is problematic. A buck 110 to do stuff and a push knife as needed just in case is what I am trying right now.
What would your five be?

Sometimes you just need a friend
Bethany Lippe on 09/11/2015
After becoming a member of the Vet-to-Vet Compeer program for seven months, Sarah reports: "after years of receiving VA services and being in groups, Vet-to_vet Compeer has proven to be the key that's been missing. With my dual diagnosis with mental health and substance abuse issues, I need a village to help me get along in life. It's having anew friend who is not judgmental, not all about mental health or substance abuse issues. We have a common bond and camaraderie from having served in the military. We do activities we both enjoy which get's you into life, into the world, being NORMAL in the community. Being part of the Vet Compeer program removes labels we put on ourselves and others put on us. giving me confidence of being able to be a productive member of society not just go to groups." "I recommend it to all my veteran friends - I wish I would have had this piece years ago.

Before visiting the Memorial House of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it seems important to read a short history of the Party's founding in Shanghai.
In 1919, a patriotic movement swept across China. It started in Beijing on May 4 when students took to the street to denounce the Versailles Treaty which allowed Japan to take over the German concessions in Shandong following the World War I. The anti-imperialist demonstrations also denounced traditional Chinese values and evolved into the New Culture Movement.
Inspired by the Russian revolution, many educated Chinese began to embrace the ideas of communism. In August 1920 Chen Duxiu, Li Da and Li Hanjun formed the country's first communist group in Shanghai. In October Li Dazhao, Zhang Guotao and Deng Zhongxia created another group in Beijing. Later, more groups appeared in Hubei, Shandong, Guangdong and Hunan provinces. They prepared the creation of a Communist Party on a national scale.
On July 23, 1921, 13 delegates from various places of China, including Mao Zedong from Hunan, met secretly in this Shanghai house belonging to the brother of Li Hanjun, a Shanghai delegate. Its address was then called No. 106-108 Rue Wantz.
But their meeting was interrupted a few days later by a spy and all the participants had to evacuate before the raid by the French Concession police. Legend has it that Li Hanjun's wife suggested moving the meeting to a boat on the Nanhu Lake in her hometown Jiaxing, a few hours' drive south of Shanghai.
So the remaining session of the meeting was held on a boat on the Nanhu Lake. Today, a replica of the original boat can be seen there. The meeting marked the birth of the Communist Party of China and adopted the first CPC charter and objectives.
The venue of the First National Congress of the CPC is a sacred place for most Chinese because it is the birthplace of the ruling Communist Party. The site is free to the public and presents China's modern history from the Opium War to the founding the Party with relic weapons, old pictures, letters and documents. The congress meeting was reconstructed with life-size wax figures of the 13 delegates sitting around a big table. But the actual room where the meeting took place is kept unadorned -- just a table with 13 teacups and 13 chairs as it should be in 1921.
The memorial house is now part of Xintiandi, a complex of old shikumen houses that were transformed into trendy restaurants, bars, boutiques and shops.

YA is so hot right now (zoolander :-D), and I've talked to three authors (three more next week!) about why it's amazing to write YA and asked them for some of their favorite Throwback Thursday YA heroines. Here's what Danielle Page (Dorothy Must Die), Melissa Marr (Dark Futures) and Amy Plum (After the End) have to say (oh, and me!).
Who's your favorite YA heroine?
Danielle Page: Jo from Little Women. Before Katniss or Tris, brave Jo went against the grain and went after what she wanted! There are no fights to the death, but it's Jo against the world all the same.
Melissa Marr: I read too much YA to only have ONE top pick, but my most beloved ones are Kaye Fierch (Tithe by Holly Black), Imogene (The Blue Girl by Charles de Lint) and Katsa (Graceling by Kristin Cashore). No passive misses here. Tough, smart, and brave, these are the sort of young women I want to see in novels.
Amy Plum: Lyra Belacqua (His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman). Lyra is so strong and curious and smart. She is her own person and doesn't let adults force her into a child's role. She doesn't have a family, so creates her own. And she is fearless in her quest to save her friends and uncover truth. Lyra is a kick-ass protagonist in the best possible way.
Me: One of my favorites (seriously, how do you pick just one?) is Cassie from Rick Yancey's The 5th Wave. She's on her own, she'll do whatever she can to save her brother and she's just perfect. I love that she's hard but still has soft edges, she can kick butt, but also knows when she needs help. I also love her "voice." It's one of my favorite audio narrations and I can't wait for The Infinite Sea.
What's your favorite YA novel?
Danielle: Shadow and Bone. I was completely absorbed in Leigh Bardugo's world from the first page. It has adventure and romance, and the world is just so beautifully and completely drawn. Leigh's Alina, a mapmaker turned "Sun Summoner," has to decide between the mysterious Darkling — and her good-hearted best friend, Mal. But more importantly, she has to figure out how to navigate a new world in which she may be the most powerful person that has ever lived.
Melissa: Whatever Sara Zarr writes. I love her Story of a Girl so much that my character is reading it in my next YA book, and How to Save a Life was what I was reading while I was going through my own adoption journey. I swear she plugs into my soul and delivers exactly the book I want every time.
Amy: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. Francie Nolan is another strong female protagonist. The scenes of her childhood in the slums of Brooklyn swing from heartbreaking to funny. I found myself cheering her on as she struggles to educate herself and her brother and lift them out of the poverty they suffered with their powerless parents. Her struggle against adversity is heroic, and the book is a classic.
Me: Right now it's Kresley Cole's Poison Princess because the audiobook is so amazing I've listened to it at least three times! I am dying for the third book (hopefully this October!), and I love everything about the Tarot cards and the apocalypse … Come touch … but you'll pay a price!
What's the best part about writing YA?
Danielle: Being 16 again for a few hours every day! I love that time of life when you are figuring out who you are for the first time. First kisses, first loves, first battle with a bully or a now wicked Dorothy … Being 16 feels epic, so matching that heightened time against a heightened reality is my sweet spot.
Melissa: All of it? Honestly, I can't think of a part that I don't enjoy. I love young readers, in part because they give me so much hope for the future of our world. Before this, I taught university, so I saw day after day how amazing teen and twentysomethings are. Now, I'm a mom, and I still see every day how incredible this younger generation is, too. These are the people who will inherit the world, and my job and privilege is to celebrate that intensity and courage in text. How could I NOT love that?
Amy: For me, the interaction with readers is the best part of writing YA. If a teenager enjoys something they read, they're going to reach out and tell you. I love that candidness and the belief that, through the powers of social networking, the author is actually going to read and respond to their messages. Their excitement when I respond is both flattering and embarrassing. The best notes I've gotten (and I've received a couple dozen so far) have been from young readers who said they didn't like to read before they picked up my books — that my stories opened a door for them, and now they're enjoying reading. I have to admit, reading those letters always floors me. It always makes me cry. I can't imagine anything better than being able to give a young person that gift.
Me: Reading YA is awesome. The genre deals with issues and problems that every age can connect to. The title YA is so misleading, while the characters may be younger they're relatable and lovable and at least 60% of my library is YA! Oh, and not to mention the authors, simply adore their fans and are so active on social media, it's easy to connect and see what they're writing next.

The Marion County Sheriff's Department has arrested a Four States man and charged him with third degree arson.
Deputies were investigating a fire at a gas well in Four States when deputies discovered a forklift on fire.
Witnesses told deputies that they saw Justin Quinn, 20, and two minors walking in the area with a gas can. Quinn and the juveniles admitted that they set the forklift on fire, according to a criminal complaint document.
Quinn told deputies that they were admiring the forklift and that they were joking about setting it on fire when one of the juveniles poured gas into the cab of the forklift, according to the criminal complaint.
The forklift is a total loss. Quinn is being held in North Central Regional Jail.
Deputies said the juveniles are also facing charges.

Discussion in 'England' started by johnbwhitehead, Jun 7, 2010.
anyone know of wild camping place in minehead. or small camp site close by .
Lots of places to stop on Exmoor, just keep your eyes open.
The camping and caravanning club site up North Hill is a good location. You can walk on to the moor from there onto the coastal path and all the way to Porlock. The town is a pleasasnt walk downhill as well. Views to Wales are good on aclear day.
Living in Minehead I should know!!
Tim G
Some idea's:
The top of Dunkery Beacon, (highest point on Exmoor, Guarantee fantastic views),
Top of North Hill, go along as far as you can for car park with views over Porlock from Bossington Hill,
Top of Porlock Hill, several areas on left & right ideal for wild camping,
Slightly further afield on the B3224 Wheddon Cross to Ralegh's Cross is a car park half way between the two on left, also Blue Anchor Sea Front, but not in stormy weather as sea will remove more than the dead flies!
Hope this helps.
There is a lovely site overlooking the cliffs in Watchet. My mum works there as a cleaner 2 days a week although she is 70+
2 min walk to the steam railway that takes you straight in to Minehead or a 15 min drive away. Cheap and cheerful.
Let me know if you want further details.

Wired for Sound and Wireless(less)
Chigwell Travel Blog› entry 1 of 11 › view all entries
After a hectic day at work on the Bank Holiday I was eventually able to set off for my Innkeepers Lodge where I am staying overnight before catching my flight from Stansted airport tomorrow.
It seemed as if everybody who lives within a ten mile radius of the pub realised I was hoping for a quiet day that would allow me to get a quick getaway. They weren't going to allow me that luxury and I was kept busy right up to the last minute before I had to leave, to it to ensure I made it to my overnight 'digs' on time.
The drive down was as expected, initially a busy M6 which eventually cleared allowing me a reasonably trouble free drive to the Lodge. I plugged in the Tom Tom for directions and the Ipod for the tunes, only to find the cigarette lighter didn't seem to be working so they wouldn't get charged during the journey. Totally aware of how power hungry both devices are I had my doubts whether they would last. They did! Both of them becoming completely discharged just as I arrived at the car park, I just hope that's not the last piece of good luck I'm going to get this week.
I'd agreed to have my card charged before I arrived so that I could get a quick check-in service, and although it was quiet at reception I was still glad I did. I just couldn't have been bothered listening to the whole of the spiel they probably provide for arrivals, from breakfast time to departure time bleh! That said I wasn't totally impressed with the hospitality, especially as it is part of my own pub brand.......... I asked for a latte and the guy lied telling me that the machine was switched off! I couldn't be bothered to argue the point though, it must be my reserved English nature.
I tried to make use of the wireless connection whilst there purchasing some airtime, but it only accepted credit cards (how short-sighted is that, don't they realise people have debit cards and prefer not to use credit cards?) and of course I couldn't connect to another partner provider without an internet connection ........Catch 22.
Oh well just left me a bit of time to draft this short piece and then climb into what looks like a comfortable bed and have a quick read before calling it a night. Using this laptop to recharge the totally exhausted gadgets due to their earlier extended use.

Things that are really exciting to me right now: biscuits. All of them. All the kinds, all the time. I could jump up and down with excitement about how pumped I am that Austin is finally getting some good ol' biscuits up in this town! As I am making my weekend dinner plans, biscuits are definitely a high priority. Right now I am between going to Olamaie and Fixe, both are top choices because BISCUITS! It has been far too long of a dearth in Austin for Southern food and biscuits especially.
I headed out super early this Morning to stop by Rodeo Austin's Cowboy Breakfast. This kicks off the annual rodeo here in Austin. Being a true Texas born and raised, I must admit, I've never been to a rodeo! Can you believe that? Anyways, this annual event starts super early, 6am and goes until 9am at Auditorium Shores every year. It's also free and on my way to work, so I thought, why not?!? Here are a few pictures I snapped!
Huge USA and Texas flags, so construction site chic.
Welcome! Lots of cowboy hats everywhere but that was no surprise!
Buttery Pioneer Biscuit. They had gravy too but I skipped on it.
Real Cowboys serving up biscuits and gravy right outta these pots over coal fires.

Live Music to get the day started off right!
Sausage and a pancake! (cue Austin Powers voice)
Even more live music against the beautiful Austin skyline.
Catfish Toes from The Boathouse Grill. Had a little Cajun kick, def could have used a sauce!
Look at these characters! There was also a rodeo princess complete with a red wrangler denim suit. I kid you not. Sorry, didn't get a pic of her.
Covered wagon, true cowboy right there!
And last but not least, who wants to ride a longhorn?!? Anyone? Bueller?
If you need a rodeo partner, let me know. This may be the year I participate in this Texas tradition!

Santiago, June 19 (IANS) Coach Jorge Sampaoli has insisted that Chile will not change their style of play as they prepare for their final Copa America Group A football match against Bolivia later on Friday.
The hosts had to settle for a 3-3 draw with Mexico earlier this week after beating Ecuador 2-0 in their opening game, but Sampaoli has no intention to employ more defensive tactics.
"Ever since we started our preparation for the Copa, there has not been a single day where we did not think about our games. We are only thinking about the match. The team is committed to the people and to winning the tournament. We want to beat Bolivia to win the group," Sampaoli said at a press conference on Thursday.
"We will not change our style of play. Our style is not negotiable. We were always attacking versus Mexico and conceded some bad goals. They deserved to equalise. But we will not change. I think this Chile will be remembered for the way it played."
Chile and Bolivia currently share top spot in Group A with four points from two games.

President PotheadThursday, August 6th, 2009
Now, probably every single person attending the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws conference in San Francisco voted for President Obama and really, the President, himself probably wink-winks at pot use. (Kinda like he's actually pro gay marriage, for a single payer health care system, and wants to tax all people, not just the rich, into oblivion.) Still this image is probably not what President Obama wants out there for public consumption.
The goal is to look middle of the road, while secretly having the politics of a hippie communist that will "remake America" with a tad more subtlety (via the Washington Post):
What I love about this picture is that he looks soooo Cuban, so dear leader of a Banana Republic.
Note: It's satire.
How Dare A Caucasian Male Question A Wise Latina!Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Is there a more pathetic creature than a liberal white male bathed in the identity-politics undermining his own credibility by damning white males? Exhibit "A": Craig Crawford. It makes sense for Maureen Dowd to hide behind her persecuted vagina, but why would a man do the same thing?
Why would one middle-aged white man deride other white men for having the temerity to ask Sonia Sotomayor a tough question? Oh, right. It's not that the old white male asked the question, it's how he asked the question. Because, you know, older white men shouldn't get uppity. It's not their place to question a Wise Latina. Really, no one should. She deserves a position on the Supreme Court because she has a vagina, tawny skin, a compelling life story and most importantly of all, she's a liberal.
It's clear that the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor has nothing to do with her ability and everything to do with her ethnicity, gender, and leftist credibility.
Matt Lewis also has an interesting take on identity politics. Tread carefully Dems, lest you be hung by your own rope.

Can you take HRT if you have a high ALT reading from taking prescribed antibiotics & other meds, and trying to get it down?
My ALT was as high as 1,600 due to too many antibiotics, many insect bites with allergy, and other prescribed med and pain killers, and candida medications. My ALT is now down to 90 and I'm off all prescribed meds, but I was wondering if I can start taking HRT again as I have bladder prolapse.

Bad feed, disease ruled out in cow deaths near Addy
Tue., April 17, 2007
State agriculture inspectors can't say what killed 50 to 60 cows last year on a dairy farm near Addy, Wash., but they can say what didn't.
It wasn't any contaminants in the feed the cows ate. It wasn't lead or arsenic or heavy metals in the hay. It wasn't mad cow disease, or any other communicable illness.
State Veterinarian Leonard Eldridge said an investigation found "no threat to the health of people or other animals." The investigation turned up no common cause for the deaths of the cows, which started last May and continued for about seven months.
"Frankly, we may never know specifically what killed the animals that died before the start of this investigation," Eldridge said in a news release issued Monday.
The dairy farmer voluntarily stopped shipping milk from his operation in December. Investigators visited the farm in March after reports that the cows had died over a short period of time.
Initial reports were "very sketchy," Jim Matsuyama, environmental health director for the Tri-County Health District, said.
The farmer, whose name was not released, told state Department of Agriculture inspectors that he suspected heavy metals had contaminated the feed sources, but the state Disease Diagnostic Lab found no unusual levels of chemicals in the feed. Investigators then tested three animals from the herd, which were killed and checked for heavy metals as well as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, commonly known as mad cow disease, and other potentially fatal diseases. Those tests were also negative.
Eldridge suggested that the farm improve "the general sanitary conditions" and get advice on health management and nutrition for the herd.
Jason Kelly, a spokesman for the state Agriculture Department, said if the dairy wants to resume its milk shipments it will need to pass an inspection, which would review sanitary conditions.

A Review of Communication-Oriented Optical Wireless Systems
This paper presents an overview of Optical Wireless (OW) communication systems that operate both in the short- (personal and indoor systems) and the long-range (outdoor and hybrid) regimes. Each of these areas is discussed in terms of key requirements, their application framework, major impairments and applicable mitigation techniques, and current and/or future trends. Personal communication systems are discussed within the context of point-to-point ultra-high speed data transfer. The most relevant application framework and related standards are presented, including the next generation Giga-IR standard that extends personal communication speeds to over 1 Gb/s.
