The IPAA/PESA Energy Education Center supports energy education outreach. We have partnered with Energy Training Resources, LLC and developed two public courses. Scroll down to learn more.
Be an advocate for the Energy Education Center by posting these flyers in your company's break room and lounges and don't forget to view our current sponsorship opportunities!
This course has an upstream focus with some midstream information and will thoroughly cover the following topics: industry structure, petroleum geology and exploration, mineral rights and leasing, drilling and completion, and development and production. It is recommended for oil & natural gas company employees, HR professionals, landmen, accountants, suppliers, contractors, attorneys, bankers, investors, traders, insurers, regulators, and has received high reviews from prior attendees.
Click on the dates below for more information and to register:
Continuing education units (CEUs) available through:
"Well worth the time as an overview of the industry."
"This was the best overview course I've ever attended."
"Great presentation. Easy to process."
"I really appreciated the animations to explain how drilling equipment works."
"Fantastic overview. It will allow anyone with little experience to get a firm grasp of the fundamentals in a very short period of time."
"It is a broad overview but the detail of the subjects help break it down."
"I learned a lot of information and Paul taught at a level where the advanced and non-advanced could both comprehend."
IPAA's Oil & Gas Orientation for Newcomers to the Industry was designed for newcomers and recent hires to the oil & natural gas industry who are looking to be proactive and valued by their employers by understanding the structure of the industry, functions, and commercial terms.
Many companies are behind on training because of recent cost cutting and it can be difficult and expensive for companies to organize effective orientation programs in-house. We have a solution. We have teamed up with Energy Training Resources to create a well-organized, media-rich program that covers the basic industry structure, functions, and commercial terms in just one day, at a low cost.
The course will be conducted at the Houston Museum of Natural Science and participants will have access to the museum's newly-renovated Wiess Energy Hall. As course topics are covered, participants will be able to view the Energy Hall's related exhibits, giving them a hands-on and memorable learning experience.
No current dates are on the calendar but if you are interested in receiving a notification when new dates are set, email Nikki.

Find a Sponsor for the Du Paraquettes is a war table operation in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Acquisition Edit
Can be acquired as part of Of Somewhat Fallen Fortune. After the meeting in Val Royeaux, speak to Josephine and ask her what their next move is.
Operation text Edit
Making the Du Paraquettes nobility is the key to stopping the assassination plot on Josephine's life. The first step is gaining them a noble sponsor. Countess Dionne is willing to help in exchange of news about her lover, Ellerly, a mage who went missing after the mage-templar war erupted.
Advisor suggestions Edit
Josephine - 0:20:00 Edit
Ellerly stood for the old Circle order. I will see if any of the loyalists gave him shelter.
Leliana - 0:20:00 Edit
Their love affair was hardly secret. I will see if anyone marked where this missing mage went.
Cullen - 0:20:00 Edit
It's been a while, but we can have search parties comb the area where he was last spotted.
Results Edit
All advisors Edit
Letter to Countesse Dionne:
My dearest Lynette,
I was injured on the way back from the Conclave, when this insane war erupted between the apostates and the templars. I made it to a decrepit inn just before the gash on my leg turned into a fever. Fortunately, when the Inquisition's people found me, they sent for a proper healer. I owe them my life, I'm certain.
I'm told the Inquisition will deliver this letter to you, which is the first peace of mind I've had since the Conclave. Stay in the capital, my love, until I can come to you.
Yours always,
Rewards Edit
All advisors Edit
- 60 Influence
Notes Edit
- Getting a Judge's Favor operation unlocks once you speak with Josephine again.
- This operation and Destroying House of Repose's Contract are mutually exclusive. Whichever one is completed will result in the other one being removed from the war table and cannot be completed.

Kate said, "RUSH."
The image immediately brought back memories of Havana, Cuba, April 1999. I had the privilege and blessing of going on a ten-day medical mission trip to deliver basic medical needs to a church there. While there, I also delivered a much-needed gently used wheelchair to my daughter's-in-love grandma. My daughter-in-love, and her parents escaped the horror of the Castro dictatorship in the mid-1970's; the three of them got out of there but other family members stayed. DIL's dad's mom was wheelchair bound and her chair dated back to the late 1950's. She needed a new one. The story of getting that chair through customs is a story all by itself!
Back to RUSH.
We spent two nights in a Havana hotel – I can see it in my mind – it sat on a corner and its doors opened onto a very busy intersection. Our first morning we were going to walk to the fort along the sea.
Our sneakers hit the sidewalk and without a missed beat we fell into the rhythm of the Havana crowd.
Fast. Rushing.
I remember asking our leader, "Where are they all going?"
To which he said, "Nowhere in particular."
Along the sidewalks I saw old beat up card tables with heated games of Dominoes, Checkers, being played. Old store windows with denim jeans and dated cottons. Aroma of strong, Cuban coffee wafted through the thick seaside air.
Rush. They were all rushing with nowhere to go.
RUSHing to get there.

Political Theory Research Group seminar series: 13 Apr 2016
In recent years, it has often been argued that political theory is too abstracted from reality. Realists contend that when political theory begins from abstract principles about how society ought ideally to be structured it misses what is distinctive about politics: the ineliminable role of power, conflict and historical context. Debates about idealisation in political theory question if and to what extent facts about the world should be incorporated into normative theorising. The first is about where political thought should start (normativity or politics), the second about the fact-sensitivity of normative theory (more or less idealisation).
Simon Hope argues that debates about ideal and non-ideal theory have elided the idealisation of one centrally important part of the social world: moral thought itself. In order to get clear on this issue, Hope returns to the ancient distinction between practical and theoretical reason. Theoretical reason describes objects which exist independently of the subject. It subsumes particulars under universal categories: for example, it identifies that X object is an instantiation of the category of 'butter'. In the case of practical reason, the object is not given independently of the subject. Rather, the very process of reasoning creates the object by asking 'what should be done?' It enacts the standards contained in the various normative concepts of the subject – fortitude, compassion, solidarity – to spontaneously create the answer.
Crucially, practical reason has a key reflexive element: it judges which normative concepts one ought to adopt as maxims to act from. It is around these concepts that subjects organise their open-ended activities: they not only act 'justly' in a particular instance, but seek to lead a 'just' life on a continuing basis. This limits moral theory in at least two respects. First, justice cannot be a matter of theorising an ideal state of affairs. It relates instead to how subjects can be moved to adopt it as a concept with which to organise their ongoing activities. It is something that is spontaneously applied across time, not something which can be instantiated once and for all. Second, because justice is necessarily a form of collective action, it must concern itself with how a plurality of agents could plausibly come to adopt it as a standard from which to act. And in order to understand how agents can actually be motivated, we must first reflect on the historically contingent concepts that agents possess. In order to connect with agents, we need to learn of their political, historical and cultural specificity. For Hope, these are not things which can be idealised away.
Discussion touched upon whether a 'just' state of affairs could be described without at the same time committing agents to bringing it about, about what a realistic description of the faculty of judgement would really look like, and about the complexities of making justice into something which a plurality of agents could plausibly follow.

Some interesting, if not amusing, boxscore lines are producing the usual amount of premature angst and giddiness that go with the opening strides of the fantasy baseball marathon.
If you've been around fantasy baseball long enough, you know not to abandon the guy who went 0-for-6 in his first game — especially if it's Mike Trout.
OK, you can a take shot at grabbing one of those undrafted players who came up with a monster opening day but don't do it if you have to drop someone you'd previously selected in the middle to high rounds.
Here is what has caught our eye from the opening three days.
♦ Ranked 23rd in runs scored last season and 25th in homers, the White Sox rapped out six dingers against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium on Thursday — a facility known to suppress the long ball — including three by Matt Davidson. The outburst was not a total shock. He did hit 26 HRs last year after fantasy owners everywhere had pretty much given up on him as a prospect when he struggled to even get out of triple-A. He's 4-for-9 with six RBIs and, perhaps equally importantly — even this early in the season — just one strikeout.
♦ The Phillies pulled a bit of a surprise in their first two games, starting switch-hitter Andrew Knapp at catcher over righty Jorge Alfaro, the returning sophomore and former top prospect who was expected to be their No. 1 guy behind the plate this season. The team says the plan is for each of them to start three of the first six games, with Alfaro getting his first start on Saturday. The Phillies also started Aaron Altherr over Odubel Herrera in CF opening day, which hints that, with Nick Williams also in the OF mix, Herrera's plate appearances could be trending down.
♦ Kevin Pillar stealing second, third and home against the Yankees on Saturday was as eye-popping as it gets. The Blue Jays CF has averaged 18 SBs his first three seasons, but shed some weight in the off-season to make himself "lighter on my feet," so it could be a sign of bigger things to come, especially with the Jays expected to struggle again for runs. On top of the three early bags, Pillar has gone 1-for-3 each of his first three games and contributed a home run, as well.
♦ Thrust into an opening-day assignment after Madison Bumgarner and Jeff Samardzija went on the DL in the spring, lefty Ty Blach and his career 4.43 ERA stepped in and out-duelled Clayton Kershaw in a 1-0 win over the Dodgers. It was workmanlike effort, as he gave up three hits and three walks in five innings, struck out three and got 10 groundball outs. That's probably enough to warrant a pickup.
♦ Chris Davis batting leadoff for the Orioles? Yes, the power-hitting 1B will take a walk (his OBP is usually 100 points better than his batting average) but at .309 last year, it was still second worst among the team's starting nine. Still, it's probably no less bizarre than the Padres having 2B Carlos Asuaje, with practically zero power, batting fifth against righties, sixth against lefties.
♦ Last year's surprise breakout player, Cards OF Tommy Pham, is 1-for-7 in his first two games against the Mets with five strikeouts. OK, those came mostly against Noah Syndergaard and Jacob de Grom who've been known to fan a guy or two, but it still has to be a little unsettling for his owners, particularly in light of the vision problems he has experienced in the past and were supposedly corrected.
♦ Another NLer struggling out of the gate with a new team is Giants 3B Evan Longoria who is 0-for-11 with six groundouts and four Ks.
♦ The last of the prime free agents found a home this week when RP Greg Holland signed with the Cardinals, instantly crushing the closing hopes of both the DL'd Luke Gregerson and his fill-in Dominic Leone.
WAIVER WATCH (With fantasy rating out of 5)
Scott Kingery 2B, Phillies * *
We'd been reading about this Dustin Pedroia clone as a potential minor-league stash in our NL only league. Then, not only does he make the team, the Phils sign him to a six-year deal as a super-utility guy. Got two hits in his debut on Frday and looks like a .270-ish batter who'll contribute a handful of HRs and SBs while eventually qualifying just about everywhere.
Nick Ahmed SS, Diamondbacks * *
Even with last year's injury-shortened mini-breakout, he's still one of the last shortstops taken, if at all, in fantasy circles. But perhaps his career-high five RBIs on Friday changes that perception. His return to a starting role combined with his 5-for-11 start to the season at worst makes him worth keeping tabs on.
Boog Powell OF, Athletics * *
When the A's announced their opening day lineup, it was something of a shock to see his name in CF and Dustin Fowler back in triple-A. Powell has some decent speed/power potential and, though he is off to a 2-for-10 start, his peripherals suggest he's got the skillset at the plate to make a reasonable impact.
HOT AND NOT (Hitters the first three days)
Ryan Flaherty ATL 7-for-13, 5 runs
Tyler Austin NYY 2-for-6, 2 HRs, 3 RBIs
Freddy Galvis SD5 -for-12, HR, 3 RBIs
Lucas Duda KC 2-for-7, HR, 5 RBIs
Lewis Brinson MIA 5-for-17, 2 runs, 1 RBI
Scott Schebler CIN 3-for-9, 1 HR, 1 SB
Nick Markakis ATL 4-for-12, 1 HR, 5 RBIs
– – – – – – – – –
Andrew McCutchen SF 1-for-12
Aaron Altherr PHIL 1-for-11, SB, 2 runs
Luis Valbuena LAA 1-for-11
Logan Forsythe LAD 0-for-10
Jose Peraza CIN 0-for-8
Christian Yelich MIL
5 3 5 2
Brewers' new LF needed only 13 pitches to rap out a double and four singles against the Padres on Saturday.
Nelson Cruz sprained his right ankle in Saturday's game … Ian Desmond was forced out of Saturday's game in the seventh inning with a sore knee … After starting him on Friday, the Angels decided to place Ian Kinsler on the 10-day DL rather than have him risk aggravating a sore groin … Delino DeShields Jr., broke a hamate bone in his hand on Friday and will be out at least six weeks … Steven Souza (pectoral) could be back by the end of April. That's a couple of weeks earlier than first thought … Michael Conforto (shoulder) and Johan Camargo (oblique) are hoping to be activated early this week … Greg Bird back on the DL? Who'd have guessed? … Mark Trumbo went on the 10-day DL just prior to opening day with a quad strain … Aaron Hicks strained his intercostal muscle in Thursday's opener … One of the more durable catchers, Salvador Perez, tore his MCL while carrying some luggage and is out until early May.

Okay, we are loving the fantastique idea behind German based watch brand Uhrgebiet and we reckon more watch brands should be incorporating the same idea into their design process; your favourite city under your watch. How very fabulous! Which one of their city skyline timepieces would you choose…? Berlin? Frankfurt? Dortmund? Cologne? These fun statement pieces from Uhrgebiet are great to elevate your Summer look. Opt for a watch that's different from the norm! Step away from the ordinary and add a statement to your wrist.
Inspired by years of travels and that feeling of homesickness, Uhrgebiet ensure you never have to be *too* far away from your home city. Take it wherever you go! Carry your special place both in your heart and on your wrist. Oh and did we mention the watches are gorgeous too?
The great thing about Uhrgebiet watches are the state-of-the-art interchangeable straps, you can simply never bore of your watch. Switch it up between black leather, a rose gold mesh band or how about classic silver? You can alternate your watch to match your jewellery and your outfit, perfect! We've picked out some of our favourite designs…
Sternstunde Steel
A true classic! This beautiful silver mesh chain watch is ideal for any minimalist fashionista. A simple yet stylish statement piece for everyday use. Team with a crisp white shirt, statement necklace and your favourite denim for a perfect casual, yet chic look.
Ursprung Berlin
Ahh the creativeness and electric throb of Berlin! A favourite with the YCB and a city that brings back great memories of long strolls in the park, insanely good vegan food and spending a little too much money in Voo Store (our favourite!). The Berlin watch offers a beautiful skyline design, we particularly love the black leather strap look. Perfect wrist candy.
Ankerling Set
Pretty in pink! We simply adore this unique floral anchor design, it's cuteness overload. An eye catching artistic watch that is sure to receive many compliments.

Gas Prices…Whats up?
December 18, 2007 Leave a comment
OK, so Iraq is now producing more oil than it did before we trashed their country. Read this on the net, so it must be true.
The other oil producing countries in the MiddleEast seem to be producing as much. The humongous oil tankers still seem to be chugging around all over the world.
Our oil refineries on the gulf coast have had plenty of time for repair after being slammed by Katrina.
Where the hell is our $1.50 a gallon gasoline??

Homemade Salsa Recipes: Southwestern Salsa
March 26, 2011 Southwestern and Tex-Mex recipes No Comments
Homemade salsa is sooooo much better than just about any salsa you can buy at the store. And one of the best aspects of this is that you can create your own homemade salsa recipes to address your personal preferences or what you might have handy in your garden or your kitchen. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to making salsa!
Holle's Southwestern Salsa recipe
What you'll need:
- 1 cup frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed completely
- 1 can diced tomatoes, well drained
- 1 can black beans, rinsed well and drained
- 1 cup fresh diced tomatoes
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/3 cup chopped pickled jalapenos
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Salt to taste
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Directions: Place all ingredients except for lime juice and sugar in a large bowl.
Dissolve sugar in lime juice and add to bowl.
Toss ingredients until blended. Refrigerate for a couple of hours for flavors to mingle.


text: As someone firmly convinced that Western civilization is hemorrhaging before our eyes, I do not see many positive developments in the world. However, City Journal's Heather MacDonald gives us one contemporary blessing for which to be thankful in "Classical Music's New Golden Age." MacDonald examines the vitality of the classical music scene throughout the world and argues for its prominence in the near future while also debunking or modifying some of the reasons for the widespread pessimism concerning the state of high cultural music. She also reports on the explosion of interest in early music and even mentions some of the groups that I love. The article delighted me and gave me hope. The barbarians are ever at the gate, but we have survived and flourished nonetheless. May such continue for many millennia more.

The Lo van Leeuwen Children's Village , Afula Ilit
The Afula Ilit Children's Village, was opened in 1980 to provide an educational and rehabilitative framework for religious children from the surrounding areas, who were removed from their homes and the custody of their parents by court order.
Operated and managed by Hamifal, the Afula Ilit Children's Village is a home to 92 children aged 5-17 who live across 8 family units and 30 local children who arrive daily from the local town for special after-school programs.
Our mission is to rehabilitate children and youth at-risk by providing them with a nurturing and loving home within a family unit structure. We view our model as an ideal substitute framework from their biological homes that were posing a threat/danger to their lives. Furthermore, our model presents vital characteristics for the healthy development of any child.
We educate our children according to universal values, Jewish principles and Zionist beliefs that promote tolerance and respect for others.
Afula Ilit is a State Religious Home and thus its daily routine is according to the traditional religious nature. This is expressed in its daily life proceedings that strengthen and deepen Jewish identity by observing the Sabbath, marking Jewish holidays and celebrations, as well as encouraging the children to participate in state religious youth movements such as Bnei Akiva.
The synagogue, located within the Children's Village, is not used only for holding services but also for afternoon Torah classes and other religious oriented activities.
After-School Care Centers
Alongside the Children Village, an after-school facility is also operated on site and caters for 30 children living in high-risk environments from the local area. These children arrive after school and stay until 7pm. They receive help in completing their homework and have the opportunity to take part in activates with the village children. Moreover, these children are provided with extra-curricular activities, basic needs such as a warm meal and bathing that they may not receive at home.
Hamifal encourage educational and extra-curricular support as we see the direct result they have in boosting a child's confidence, promoting empowerment and independence
The Children's Village have ongoing supportive educational, cultural and social activities conducted alongside the school curriculum and include:
- Extra tutorial lessons administered by special education teachers during the afternoons
- Educational Center Facility that includes a diverse and rich library, computer rooms and classrooms
- Art therapy used to help children express their emotions
- Recreational Classes take place within the home and the local community center
- Entertainment Center, equipped with a variety of games and toys. Every year, new games are purchased and introduced to the collection
- A Summer Camp organized for the children and includes and range of fun and exciting activities
- Bnei Mitzvah Project – a traditional and highly successful program held in cooperation with the child's biological family
- Sulamot Philharmonic Music School – A music project in conjunction with the Israeli philharmonic orchestra that encourages and supports children with musical talents.
- Parents– children workshops, activities and meetings conduct throughout the year in order to empower our children's biological parents and to rehabilitate and repair child – parent relations.
The following is a testimony of Ana, a graduate of the Afula Ilit Children's Home:
"Thank you for all those years in which I was raised and educated here. I came to the village a shy girl, lacking confidence. My tutors, who were like parents to me, gave me the best educational environment possible. They taught me to distinguish between good and bad, helping me see the good in life. I never dared to dream of myself as a person who would have such confidence. Now I perform on stage playing the flute and graduated school with great grades! Today, looking back, I know that it was all worthwhile, I am now a young lady, an independent girl who can face any challenge. Now, when I'm thinking of leaving the home, I am nervous but I know it is possible because of the tools I have learnt here. This place was my real home. Thanks to Etty and Shlomo. Thanks to Asher the director and to all the Village staff."
Village Director: Asher Ben Shimol

Product Review: Road ID Elite
Disclaimer: I received a Road ID Elite to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!
Many of you know I'm training for another half marathon PR in June. This has been a rough training cycle due to some hip pain and stomach/abdominal issues. I have had to stop running a few times and thankfully I've always been conscious and have had my cell phone on me to get a ride back home. But if for some reason in case of emergency, my Road ID is there with all of my essential personal information is on my wrist.
For those of you who don't know how to buy accutane in canada Road ID is a Kentucky based company that makes customizable ids for all types of sport. Road ID is perfect for anyone who is active and either has a current medical condition or wants some peace of mind. When I first found out about my allergies, I purchased both a Slim ID and a Shoe ID. I use both on a regular basis just in case something happens.
Recently, I was able to get the new http://thelostduckling.com/flu Road ID Elite Black Edition. This newest finish of the Road ID Elite is perfect for me. It's stylish, or as stylish as it can be, and the new Black Edition plate is easy to read. I love how it can even wear it to work and it matches what I'm wearing. The Black Edition badges are a nice touch too. It doesn't even feel like I'm wearing it on my wrist when I'm running or walking.
Besides the functional reasons, Road ID Elite gives me peace of mind with an extra line of text so I can have three emergency contacts instead of two. If there were an emergency one of my loved ones would be notified and the person who sees my Road ID would know about my allergies.
Thanks to Bib Rave you can http://amykilpin.co.uk/14927-dte73724-dating-a-girl-a-year-older.html sign up here for $5 off your next Road ID purchase. Just make sure you use the code within 2 weeks.

In this sample, our client inherited a long beaver fur coat. The coat was
bought sometime in the 1980's, approximately 25 years ago by her mother.
Fortunately for our client, beaver fur has a long span life and because the
coat was maintained, it could be remodeled.
We started the remodeling process byshortening the length(#5) of the coat to
just below the hips. We thensheered(#2) the surface level fur to remove most of
the worn hair. Thecollar(#1) andcuffs(#3) styles were redone to give them more posture. Finally, we added a littledecorative design(#4) for uniqueness.

I said that I was busy this past summer and one of the reasons was Jason (Kustom Persuasion) being invited to finish his build and race Snot Rocket at the Roadkill Nights 2018 street races in Pontiac, Michigan on August 11. I was a last-minute addition to the crew as a helping hand and photographer but I sure am glad I went along for the ride. Jason, Bernie and I rushed to finish the car on Friday (the day before the event) and it had all of the typical calamity that one would come to expect of us. The night before they were working hard and not getting too far with things. The next day I showed up and it was all hands on deck. Seriously, Jason was cutting up the hood and doing final adjustments just to get this pig onto the trailer. In typical dumb hillbilly fashion it started pouring rain during load up but Bernie and Jason soldiered on and made it work. We strapped it down, loaded up our things and hit the road. At last we were off to Pontiac to make our mark but not before covering the air cleaner with a taped-up grocery bag to protect it from the rain.
2017 Upper Sandusky Autumn CruiseStandard
I realized the other day that I never finished editing photos from the 2017 Autumn Cruise held in Upper Sandusky, OH on September 23. Honestly, it was hot as Hell and I just didn't want to remember that day. Nancy and I rode there form Cleveland, got sunburnt, walked for maybe an hour or two and then bailed. We ate some food (it was tasty), stuck to the shadows and I shot 54 photos—many of those being alternate angles of shots I post here. It was a beautiful day for the show, just not the best day for the show. Overall too hot and sunny to be standing under a clear sky on concrete. Regardless, we showed up, saw some cool shit and here is the proof.
UPPER SANDUSKY AUTUMN CRUISE 2016: ROUND FIVEStandard
This July 4th holiday weekend was supposed to be spent on the motorcycle and at the drag races but the weather has made that a non-starter. The drags are dry but it's wet where I am so that was a no-go. Hopefully the rest of the weekend is a little drier and I get on the bike a bunch. As a consolation I offer these photos from the 2016 Autumn Cruise to the weather gods. Give em a peek and see some pretty stuff. This is the last round of photos so take them in and look ahead to possibly seeing more from later this year.
UPPER SANDUSKY AUTUMN CRUISE 2016: ROUND FOURStandard
Well, well well…it has been a VERY long time since I've posted any car photos. There are numerous reasons for that: life, motorcycles, jobs, lack of quality computer, and more. I finally fixed one of those reasons when I recently bought myself a newly updated iMac. Lightroom is now running quick and smooth so I'm getting back in the saddle with these photos. Check 'em out and if you like something then give a comment. I'm working on potentially selling some photos from my various car outings. I hope that it can be a small revenue stream that also gets me out and about over the summer. If you are interested in a print then hit me up in the comments or by email/text if you know me personally.
Upper Sandusky Autumn Cruise 2016: Round ThreeStandard
I'm back with a few more photos from the recent Upper Sandusky Autumn Cruise that was held on September 24. There's some good stuff in this collection. Shiny paint, bright chrome and colors abound. There's even a bit of the Halloween spirit mixed in there. Check it out!
Autumn Cruise: The Cream of the CropStandard
This is it, folks. The final set of photos from the 2015 Upper Sandusky "Autumn Cruise". These are my picks as the best of the bunch. The top of the heap. The cream of the crop. Well, maybe they aren't all the best but some are just favorites of mine and what's the point of having a blog if I can't be a little biased towards myself?
There are lots of good shots in here. Some full cars, some details, some interiors. You should know the drill by now. I love color photos of these cars but I'm a real fan of the black and white shots. I wanted to go with B&W so much more when editing all the photos but I had to show some restraint. There's just something about old cars, the curves, the lines, chrome and adding that black & white look that just gets me. Maybe it just makes it seem even more classic.
Take a look and let me know of your favorites from this set or any others.
Lakewood Car Kulture Show 2015Standard
Naners and I hit up the Lakewood Car Kulture Show last weekend. Lots of good cars, sexy bikes and crusty people. It was a decent show but we got there around 3pm and the cars were already starting to roll out. There was not a cloud in the sky so I have no clue why these guys felt the need to get out of there so quickly. Also, it apparently shuts down at 5pm. Not cool. I don't know if I've ever been to a car show that ended that early. Oh well. It was still packed with lots of good visual treats to take in. Hit the jump and check out a bunch of photos from the day.

Thanks to everyone who turned out April 28 for our annual League meeting and luncheon! The event was a smashing success, and we couldn't have done it without our volunteers and supporters.
We'd like to recognize some of our outstanding volunteers who make the work we do as the League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Area possible:
Marty Moorfield – Voter Guide
"Marty was a central figure in helping us make the new online Voter Guide as successful as it was. She coordinated all of our efforts with Vote411, learning the technical ins and outs of how to make that service work with our newly redesigned site. She was inquisitive and thoughtful, and was never afraid to step out of her comfort zone to take on the work that needed to be done to make the project happen. It was a very challenging project, and it would have never come together without her tireless efforts and willingness to learn how to do new things." – Caitlin C. & Raechel G.
Amy Keith & Caitlin Constantine – Election Protection
"They ran the training and election day logistics like champs. They are awesome in everything they do, from volunteering to take the lead in organizing volunteer participation to stepping up to plan to speaking at over 20 voter education events. She made herself available for whatever was needed in 2018." – Carol M.
Jack McCullough – Immigration
"Jack's knowledge of Constitutional law has been most helpful in the Action Team's development of Immigrant Info cards and our latest FACT Sheets. He has also coordinated and ensured the same look and feel as we add the sheets to lwvspa.org. His technical knowledge and experience are invaluable to our work as is his dry sense of humor. He also filled in on a few days notice and represented at the League at the Keep Families Together rally in Gulfport last summer." – Karen C.
Linsey Grove & Julia Sharp – Reproductive Rights
"Both Linsey and Julia, as co-chairs, started EPYC (Empowering Pinellas Youth Collaborative). Through grants and public outreach they are engaging Pinellas youth, parents, organizations, and community members in order to convince the Pinellas school board to implement comprehensive sex ed policy in Pinellas schools. EPYC obtained a grant through the Foundation for a Healthy St. Pete, is producing a video mini series to further educate the public on this issue, and both Julia and Linsey have been giving presentations to local groups/orgs in order the build more support. The school board has already agreed to workshop comprehensive sex ed which is a big step forward."
Amy Weintraub – Promotions & Reproductive Rights
"Just for being the badass reproductive rights advocate we all know she is. Amy is always chock full of helpful information and data; and has been extremely motivating in RR advocacy to anyone who meets her. I am greatly appreciative of her mentorship of me as new chair of RR as well." – Stacy K.
"Amy W. is the cornerstone of LWVSPA." Carol M. & Lisa V.
Carol Marks, Jen Underhill, Maryellen Gordon & Lisa Vanover – Sustainability
"Without Carol, I would never have keep it all together. Her steadiness, process-orientation, intellect, incredible wit, and friendship have been invaluable." – Lisa V
"Jen asks great questions and is incredibly organized, and she was a terrific Co-Chair before launching Plant Power." – Lisa V
"Maryellen worked hard for SAT in the 6 months prior to going to voter services. I know she did a lot for VS, too." – Carol M
"Lisa does more than any six people I know." – Carol M.
Erin Rashbaum – Social Media
"Erin is responsible for managing the League's Facebook page which she tackles with fierce dedication. This is a DAILY responsibility that requires creativity, attention to detail, awareness of current affairs, and knowledge of League mission and programs. Erin's commitment can't be beat and we are grateful for her."- Amy W.
Kathi Garrity – Membership
"The everyday operations and activities of the League are robust. When a snafu occurred in the Membership records, Voter Service member Kathi Garrity stepped right up to strategize the best course of action and get to work sorting it all out. Kathi's attention to detail and quest for accurate data is valuable to the League. Her volunteer hours and data management expertise ensured that our Per Member Payments to LWVFL and LWVUS were reflective of our actual membership." – Julia S.
Maryellen Gordon, Joan Thurmond & Lauren Constantino – Engage St. Pete
"Maryellen and Joan were absolutely key to outreach on the Civic Health Survey: because of their initiative, time and support, A LOT more people from a lot more neighborhoods Took The Poll! And all our efforts to gather paper surveys from folks who don't have internet access would have been for naught without Lauren Constantino, who accurately and diligently entered the data from over 100 paper survey forms!" – Amy K.
We'd also like to give a shout-out to our supporters and sponsors who helped make our annual meeting possible. Make sure to show your support for these local businesses and organizations – they help us make democracy work!
- Suncoast Compost – offers composting services and consultation to individuals, businesses and events throughout the Tampa Bay area.
- Warehouse Arts District – a cultural arts destination in downtown St. Petersburg dedicated to flourishing our community through artistic endeavors, support, and highly curated art.
- Morean Center for Clay – a historic resource center for the arts based in St. Petersburg. Thank you so much for providing us with a beautiful venue space for this year's meeting!
- American Constitution Society (Tampa Chapter) – the nation's largest progressive legal network
- Bandes Construction Company Inc. – a commercial construction firm with over 30 years of experience building in Florida and a commitment to meeting the latest standards of environmentally conscious construction.
- Carriage House Consulting – a consulting firm that offers organizations tools and resources like grant writing, special event logistics, strategic planning, research and evaluation, and more.

The Jaguar XF 2.2D Is Here
Jaguar sales have been slower of late, no doubt people have been awaiting the refreshed XF model. Well along with the facelift, the new XF 2.2D has arrived with a refined 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine. It is now mated to a new 8-speed gearbox with an amazing combined fuel consumption of 5.4 l/100km, capable of travelling 1250km on a single tank of diesel...wow. This engine option is expected to make up 60% of XF sales worldwide. It will be especially popular in Europe and in fact, since 2008 over 37,000 XFs have been sold in the UK alone. With this new engine, sales will be brisk to say the least.
The 4 cylinder diesel engine in the premium segment is apparently very popular in Europe, and Jag simply hasn't been there. Estate models are likewise sort after and Jag still isn't there yet. Still, it's good to know that they are now taking on more than a fraction of the XF's potential market. When executives from competing marques see this new 2.2D model, along with the just released LR Evoque, they surely must find themselves soiling their lederhosen. I know I would if I was in their position. Now they have real competition....

You could have the beginnings of a colourful and upbeat fire surround. We offer a number of mantle and surround packages that can dramatically change your fireplace into a tremendous masterpiece on the middle of your home. Ent to your hearth with a custom surround or wall remedy.
Hearth Pictures That'll Heat Your HeartThe Peek-A-Boo Fireplace. Most Fireplace varieties will be constructed into any particular style that can flatter your home.

Designer Maria Killam, CMG, used vivid orange paint round and over the fireside right here, for a daring look you may simply replicate with any favourite hue.
A compelling fireplace design draws household and friends to collect collectively for intimate conversations and comfortable relaxation. Inspired by a pattern used by fabric weavers in northern India, this carved stone fireplace encompass ($2,800) is a research in quiet beauty.
Stroy and HRI helped me with a rest room rework and makeover for an old brick hearth. In fact, the type of Hearth you select in your residence should be influenced by the orientation of the room. Gone are the drab wall and white brick; in their place, a stone-veneer encompass and black wall add plenty of drama, and a 3-dimensional artwork piece adds the final touch.

Recently, we visited the growing KidZ at Heart team in El Salvador to conduct KidZ at Heart's Great Trainers Summit, our training of trainers. While traveling in-country, we saw churches everywhere which helped us see why El Salvador considers itself to be a Christian country. Jesus has been proclaimed there for many years, yet we were saddened to hear the results of a recent survey.
This study revealed that 54.9% of all inmates currently in the prisons of El Salvador came from Evangelical Christian homes and an additional 17.6% from Catholic homes. Something must be changed!
El Salvador isn't the only country needing to be transformed from the inside out…
In Kenya: Last month, we shared KidZ at Heart's core workshop, Nurturing Great Children, with a group of Kenyan pastors and teachers. In this workshop, we define a "great child" as one who loves God with all her heart, all her soul, all her mind, and all her strength, even as she loves herself and others (the Great Commandment, Mark 12:28-31).
We explained that "greatness" can only come through the work of the Holy Spirit who transforms us into the image of Christ (Galatians 4:19). We also suggested that those wishing to work with children, whether parents or teachers, must also be "great teachers." It's really hard to lead a child somewhere you've never been yourself.
Yet, at the end of our training day in Kenya, an older pastor said, "This won't work." When we asked why, he told us that their adults aren't living for Jesus and don't live Christlike lives, so they need a way to teach kids about Jesus that doesn't require spiritually maturing adults. Something must be changed!
In the United States: We led a webinar entitled, "Integrating Spiritual Formation Into Your Preteen Ministry." The preteen leaders who met with us were passionate about reaching preteens for Jesus. This ministry area is growing quickly. Yet, the American church is still losing 40% of its preteens as they transition from children's ministry to youth ministry. And another 40% as they enter young adulthood and plunge into the church at large. Again, something must be changed!
So what's the answer? What changes must be made? We need the Holy Spirit to transform children, teachers, parents, pastors, whole churches…from the inside out…into Christlikeness in El Salvador, in Kenya, in the United States, and in any of our 40 locations globally.
And that's what God has called into being in KidZ at Heart…a global Christian community that trains, partners with, and mobilizes networks of leaders to help children fall deeply in love with Jesus…from the inside out.
We invite you on a KidZ at Heart trip to see first-hand how God is transforming communities…from the inside out.

On support for Ukraine, extra $140 million draws scrutiny
It didn't cause much of a stir at the time, but the Associated Press ran a report two weeks ago that may be relevant anew. It noted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced at a conference that the United States had released $250 million in military aid – with an additional $140 million on top of that sum.
The Trump administration said Thursday [Sept. 12] that it has released $250 million in military aid to Ukraine that had been held up. It didn't mention additional funds.
Zelenskiy's deputy chief of staff Kirill Tymoshenko confirmed to The Associated Press after the president's speech that Ukraine is indeed expecting an extra $140 million from the U.S., but he wouldn't give detail on the source or designation of the funds.
There may very well be nothing to this, but it was a curious series of events. The Trump administration was supposed to give Ukraine $250 million, but that money was on hold when the American president spoke via phone to his Ukrainian counterpart – a conversation in which Trump reportedly pressed Zelenskiy eight times about investigating Biden.
Soon after learning that the military aid was on hold, the editorial board of the Washington Post published a piece alleging that the Republican was effectively trying to "extort" Ukraine, making the $250 million contingent on Kyiv agreeing to participate in Trump's political scheme.
Soon after, in the face of bipartisan congressional pushback, the Trump administration agreed to release the aid to Ukraine – though according to the Associated Press, the package was worth $390 million, not $250 million. This, of course, came shortly before House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) exposed the existence of the whistleblower's complaint to the intelligence community's inspector general.
On Meet the Press yesterday, NBC News' Chuck Todd asked Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin where the extra $140 million came from. From the transcript:
MNUCHIN: Well, it was appropriated money that came through the State Department.
TODD: [Ukrainians] didn't know they were getting this money. Is there any indication why they got the money when they did?
MNUCHIN: I'm not sure it's correct for you to say they didn't know they got the money. –
TODD: The president said he was surprised to get it. The president of Ukraine said he was surprised to get an additional $140 million. He said it was a pleasant surprise but that he was surprised.
MNUCHIN: I think he was referring to his expectations, as opposed to necessarily a surprise. But you're getting into details.
Well, yeah, I suppose so. But don't the details matter?

Review: Big Boy by Ruthie Knox
Big Boy (Strangers on a Train) by Ruthie Knox
Samhain Publishing, Ltd. (April 2, 2013)
Heroine: Mandy – Single Mother, Role Playing
Hero: Tyler – Mystery, Role Playing
She doesn't want romance to complicate her life, but Mandy's monthly role-playing dates with her stranger on a train—each to a different time period—become the erotic escape she desperately needs. And a soul connection she never expected.
Yet when she tries to draw her lover out of the shadows, Mandy has a fight on her hands…to convince him there's a place for their fantasy love in the light of day.
Warning: Contains sexy role-playing, theatrical application of coal dust, and a hero who can rock a pair of brown polyester pants.
Mandy's life has changed quite dramatically ever since her sister and family were killed by a drunk driver. They left behind Mandy's nine day old nephew, who she became the legal guardian for. Being a single parent and working full-time doesn't leave much of a social life for Mandy, so she decides to join an online dating service. While looking through the men's profiles, she kept coming across the same man with different identities from different eras in time. This man piques Mandy's interest, so she contacts him and sets up a date with him.
On the first date, they meet at the National Railroad Museum dressed up as people from 1957. After their first date, they meet once a month at the museum, role playing and dressing up as a different person from different eras in time. They never share any personal details about their lives and they don't know each other's names. But Mandy looks forward to her date with this mystery man every month, where she gets to let go of the everyday responsibilities and stress that comes with motherhood. What she never expected is to actually fall for her mystery man, especially when she knows nothing about his real life.
Being that this story is told from Mandy's POV, Tyler remains a mystery throughout most of the book. Tyler is charismatic and sexy and exciting. He takes the role-playing very seriously and didn't want to take his relationship with Mandy into the real world. That was one of his stipulations when they started going on these adventurous, inventive dates. Which didn't bother Mandy, who is completely intrigued by the role-playing as well. But, eventually, curiosity began to get the better of her. She begins to wonder who Tyler really is underneath all the different identities he wears. Who is Tyler? That is the question. When his story is revealed, it's an interesting one indeed. I was pleasantly surprised with the way this story unfolded at the end.
I absolutely adore this story. The sexy role-playing, the sexy fantasies they reenact, and the mystery behind these two people's lives was so romantic and charming and spontaneous. Ruthie Knox wrote one heck of a short story in 66 pages. I feel like I've said that before about one of her stories. Oh yeah, I have… I said the same thing in my How to Misbehave review. And I really meant it with both of them!
Every single page of Big Boy had me enthralled from beginning to end. There is so much heart in this story. I can't recommend it enough to all lovers of romance. Ruthie Knox makes me want to hug and kiss her for writing some of my most favorite contemporaries.

Installation of domestically produced large-scale equipment for the construction of a new diesel fuel hydrotreatment complex has now started at Gazprom Neft's Omsk Refinery. This project envisages the installation of more than 150 pieces of equipment in total, all of it Russian-produced, comprising 85 percent of total construction of the facility. The future complex will have a production capacity of 2.5 million tonnes per year, producing cutting-edge winter diesel and immediately replacing two outdated facilities. The commissioning of this facility, construction of which is being undertaken as part of the second phase of the Omsk Refinery's modernisation, is expected in 2020. Total investment in this project stands at RUB17.5 billion.
Leading domestic equipment manufacturers are involved in the construction of the diesel hydrotreatment facility, with the first large-scale equipment installed at the site being a
Oleg Belyavsky, CEO of the Gazprom Neft Omsk Refinery, commented: "The Omsk Refinery is working closely with key Russian equipment manufacturers in implementing projects for the second phase of modernisation. Cutting-edge domestic solutions prove effective in operation, and mean we don't have to rely on foreign suppliers."Oleg Belyavsky CEO of the Gazprom Neft Omsk Refinery
The diesel fuel hydrotreatment unit will allow a greater volume of secondary gasoil to be processed, which will subsequently be returned to the production system at the Omsk Refinery, following the commissioning of the new delayed coking unit. Thanks to cutting-edge de-waxing technology, the new fuel will improve performance for diesel engines while further reducing environmental impacts, due to its ultra-low sulphur content.
Gazprom Neft is currently involved in a full-scale modernisation programme at its Omsk and Moscow refineries, involving cumulative investment of more than RUB550 billion. The first stage of this modernisation has involved the construction and reconstruction of key technological facilities, allowing the complete transition to the production of Euro-5 fuels, significantly improving energy efficiency and environmental friendliness in production. The implementation of the second phase of the modernisation programme is now ongoing, as a result of which refining depth and the production of light petroleum products will increase to match the highest international standards.

4 Days in Amsterdam & Beyond
By Kelly Cronin
We're giving you an inside look at our romantic summer getaway to Amsterdam and the Netherlands. A beautiful city year round, we're delving into what makes Amsterdam a perfect summer city escape. Most summer vacations include trips to island destinations, sandy beaches and blue waters. Since I live in paradise (if you've been to the French Riviera in summer you know I am not exaggerating), I thought a city trip away from the overcrowded beach bars would be the perfect romantic getaway. Here's how we spent four days in the Netherlands for our summer getaway to Amsterdam:
Day 1
Before going directly to Amsterdam, we drove a bit past the bustling canal city to take a day exploring a small nearby city. Haarlem is a smaller, less touristy version of Amsterdam while still holding the unique Holland charm with plenty of canals and bridges adorned in flowers. We started off by slowly walking through the streets (we like to take turns picking directions based on which streets look "cutest") and taking lots of photos of the canals. The main river has a windmill that you can actually climb to the top of to get an adorable view of the city.
We stopped for lunch in the central market plaza where we shared a platter of Netherland specialties including some amazing fried cheese rolls with authentic dutch cheese at one of the many sidewalk cafés. This plaza is also home to the St. Bavo Church, where both Bach and Mozart had played in this magnificent architecture. If you're looking for a different church experience, Jopen is a brewery in Haarlem that is actually in the center of an old church! (We had to skip since we were driving, but I will definitely come back to do this someday!) After a full day in Haarlem, we head into Amsterdam to check-in to our Airbnb and start exploring. From the central station, we walked among the canals for some souvenir shopping and pictures, finally settling down for dinner and drinks.
Day 2
My favorite part of Amsterdam is exploring the endless (I mean ENDLESS) winding streets and canals and bridges with adorable cobblestone and dutch architecture. We spent the morning going on a whim and choosing our directions based on which streets looked the cutest (which proved harder than it sounds), spending a long time deciding which flower seeds to buy at Bloemenmarkt.
In the afternoon, we went over to the Heineken Experience at the Heineken Brewery. I would highly recommend this tour, which includes a self-guided tour, with presentations along the way, of the original brewery. By the end of the experience, you'll have the chance to personalize your own bottles of beer, which was the perfect souvenir! There's also a really fun game experience area, free photo-booth, karaoke video and more, all followed by two complimentary beers in the bar. It's fair to say we ended up having more fun than we anticipated, possibly thanks to the three beers, for eighteen euros per person.
Day 3
On our final day in Amsterdam, we decided to see the city by bike! I was hesitant at first after hearing so many horror stories of the bikers in Amsterdam, but as long as you keep up with traffic and follow the signs, you'll be fine. We brought our backs with us, but there are plenty of places on every street to rent bikes that come in all sorts of colors and sizes. We headed in for lunch at Garlic Queen – an all garlic restaurant! We are both huge fans of garlic, so I found this place ahead of time and made sure we found time to go. The menu has everything from baked garlic (my new favorite thing in the world) to garlic ice cream and even garlic beer and wine to drink. Luckily we were both indulging in the garlic, so there was no need to be embarrassed or hold back a kiss.
After devouring some breath mints, we got back on our bikes and headed to Vondelpark. The largest city park in Amsterdam, Vondelpark is a quiet sanctuary from the bustling city. We loved riding through this green paradise, exploring many fountains and admiring the beautiful rose garden. Vondelpark is also right near the Van Gogh Museum, which has an incredible sunflower maze as part of the entrance to the museum. (This is on the top of my list for next time!) We unfortunately had to pack up and drive west to our next destination: Wijk aan Zee.
Day 4
After a night of camping at an adorable campsite in Wijk aan Zee, we walked down to the enormous sand dunes to get to the beach. Although it was windier and colder than I was expecting, we got to relax in the sunshine after walking through the trails in the dunes with orange and green rolling hills.
Before heading back to Germany, we drove a little south to the more populated town Zandvoort. We explored the small main streets before stopping in a small café for an amazingly inexpensive brunch. We could then walk down to the beach, which had a few resorts and bars, as well as kite surfers galore. The big waves make this a popular surfing spot, although a wetsuit is definitely a must. We dipped our toes in the water and soaked up the sun before hopping back in the car and heading home.

So by now the benefits of possessing a dashboard camera to provide you with an extra sensation of security ought to be apparent. In fact 40 % of individuals questioned in a recent study specified that they feel more secure in a automobile with a dash cam fitted. By now you might be asking yourself which type of dash camera should I purchase?
This drive has been a success thus far resulting in the prosecution of a vehicle driver who sped off through a junction on the wrong side of the road after a near miss. The incident was caught by Steve Warren, of Staffordshire, who stated: I sent the video to the police. Why should people risk your life and get away with it? And Leicestershire Authorities agreed with him too, they made use of the recorded video footage to prosecute the criminal.
And the police aren't the only body to have realised the potential of a nation of dash camera possessing drivers. Numerous insurance companies have actually begun to sit up and take notice. In fact leading insurance firm SwiftCover have ended up being the first mainstream insurance company to provide financial rewards. They chose to provide a discount rate of 10 per cent to drivers who have a dashboard camera installed.
The more costly digital vehicle recorder should tape-record in hd and at a much better resolution. A clearer image can be beneficial in figuring out finer particulars such as license plates from a distance. This can be particularly beneficial with regards to motorists who leave the scene of the event.
So truly the query you should be asking yourself now is where can I get a quality dashboard camera from? And the answer is click on this link!
Another beneficial scenario in which the dashboard cam can be used is in the teaching of student motorists. A lot of driving teachers are realising the advantages of having an on board cam. Obviously the in car camera will help bring in a level of assurance and security for both the instructor and the student. Almost every approved driving instructor will certainly have needed to deal with an aggressive road user who feel it's their business to intimidate learner drivers and insult and threaten them. Having the dashboard camera there to tape-record their unnecessary aggression can be crucial if the cops need to be informed of their actions.
There can be some more favorable and breathtaking footage tape-recorded too. In fact in Russia, where dash cameras are really widespread due to high rates of fake insurance claims, a car dashboard cam recorded a meteor hurtling towards the Earth. The incredible thirty-three second clip revealing the fireball fly through the sky has had almost 3 million views on YouTube and made the news worldwide.
Dash Camera Alternatives - About
Put simply an digital vehicle recorder is a recording device that is located within the car. The video footage recorded is saved on an SD card which can vary in size depending on how decent the in car cam is and how much footage the driver wants to store. Many dashboard cameras take an array from 2GB to 32GB SD cards.
Many dashboard cams will take a variety of SD card in between 2GB and 32GB but you need to always examine the specifics of the one you mean to buy. All dash cams record and store their footage onto an SD card. Usually the video footage is saved as either 1 minute or 2 minute clips which take up a particular quantity of space depending upon the quality of the resolution. So you need to decide just how much video footage you feel you will have to record and store prior to making your purchase. Bare in mind almost all cameras have a loop recording feature which means that when the SD card is full the earliest footage is then tape-recorded over.
In fact the rise in insurance policy premiums for everyone was put down to more insurance fraud claims on the road. With scam artists constantly prepared to come up with more sneaky schemes to con innocent drivers it is a good idea to take preventative measures. The best way to safeguard yourself and your no claims bonus is to have video footage of any elaborate scam prepared to provide.

Number 7 Who Was the BTK Strangler?
He gave himself many nicknames in communications with the media and law enforcement but the one that stuck was BTK. He was eventually identified as Dennis Rader and brought to justice years after his spree had ended. Rader's thirst for recognition and constant defiance of the authorities is what ultimately lead to this.
Number 6 Early Life
Born March 9, 1946, Dennis Rader was a troubled child. According to his letters, he looked at 'Girly Books' as a boy. They were apparently the root of the twisted fantasies which would later fuel his intent. It's worth mentioning that, among his final letters to the police, Rader included disturbing drawings of bound women. In his teens he would peep through windows and steal women's lingerie. He also tortured animals and his vile actions included hanging a cat and a dog. At 21, he joined the Air Force and was stationed at various bases in the southern US as well as bases on Okinawa and outside Tokyo. According to Rader, he became a marksman during his service and learned new skills. After he was discharged, he married Paula Dietz in 1971 and subsequently had two children with her. Even though they spanned nearly 30 years, Rader managed to keep his activity completely hidden from his family.
Number 5 Becoming
When he first saw the Puerto Rican Otero family in January 1974, he became transfixed with them. His main focus was 33-year-old Julie and her 11-year-old daughter Josephine. He devised a plan to attack their Sedgwick County home on the morning of January 15, believing that only Julie, Josephine and the family's youngest, Joseph Jr. would be home at the time. In what would become a trademark BTK move, he cut the phone lines. Armed with a knife and .22 caliber handgun, Rader picked his time and entered the house when the backdoor was left open for the dog. He didn't expect to find the family's patriarch, 38-year-old Joseph, in the house as well.
Number 4 MO
Rader selected and studied these people. At one point he worked for the alarm company ADT and, ironically, installed security systems in the houses of people worried about him. He learned their movements and schedules and waited for the opportune moment to strike. He also took souvenirs from most of them. According to his court testimony, his drive was part of his fantasy. He also revelled in knowing that he was responsible for the Kansas metro area. In early 1978, he sent a letter to the KAKE TV station in Wichita, taking responsibility for the act on the Otero family and three other women.
Number 3 Others
At the time, Bright was employed by Coleman, the same company that Rader worked for. When Rader entered her house, her brother Kevin was inside as well. Williams was out visiting friends as Rader waited for hours in her house. He eventually grew impatient and left but in his confessions later stated he felt 'absolutely livid' that Williams had evaded him. In March 1977, Rader claimed his sixth, a woman named Shirley Vian.
Number 2 Capture
After Dolores E. Davis, in January 1991, Rader went silent for about 13 years.That's when Rader responded. He sent photographs and a driver's license from his ninth, Vicki Wegerle, to a reporter. DNA collected from under her fingernails, provided the police with further evidence. For almost a year, Rader would continue to send packages to local media or simply leave them around Wichita. These often included cereal boxes, perhaps as a play on the words. They contained photographs, souvenirs, drawings, written accounts and dolls made to mimic the preferred method.In one of his letters, Rader asked if they'd be able to trace him if he put his writings on a floppy disk. In a newspaper, they answered him in a predetermined code that it would be safe for him to do so. When they received the disk, the metadata from a deleted Word document was still on it, unbeknownst to Rader. It contained Christ Lutheran Church, of which Rader was president, and showed that the document had been last modified by 'Dennis'. The police now had circumstantial evidence but needed more. They took a DNA sample from a medical facility where Rader's daughter had had a pap smear as a university student. That sample proved to be a match with the one taken from Wegerle's fingernails.
