Elliott Wins Late Model Finale, Dees Champion
At Southern Oregon Speedway
White City, Oregon...September 15...Making a charge from last starting after a heat race crash, Trent Elliott won the 20 lap Late Model Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. Elliott had clipped an infield tire during his heat race, which damaged his steering and forced him to make repairs prior to the Main Event. John Dees used his second place finish to overtake Nathan Augustine to win the division championship.
Augustine carried an eight point lead over John Dees into the night, and Dees got things started with a four lap Trophy Dash win. Dees won the first six lap heat race, and Miles Deubert picked up the second heat win in front of Augustine. This meant that Augustine's lead over Dees was six points. John Dees took the early Main Event lead from his front row starting position, and Augustine made an inside pass in Turn 2 on Deubert to claim second. After completing the third lap, Augustine blew a motor and stalled in Turn 2 to end his evening. Elliott had made it up to fourth by then, and John Dees led Deubert and Elliott on the restart. An inside pass on the backstretch on lap six gained Elliott second from Deubert, and he made a low pass in Turn 3 two laps later to take the lead from Dees. Elliott began to pull away and stretched his lead to a straightaway over new champion John Dees by the waving of the checkered flag. Deubert wrapped up his "Rookie Of The Year" season with a third place finish, followed by Dave Foote, Kevin Putnam, Bob Dees and Augustine. Dave Everson was a Main Event scratch.

Peters Wins SODCA Dwarf Car Finale At Southern Oregon Speedway, King New Champion
White City, Oregon...September 15...Leading from the second lap, two-time champion Brock Peters went on to win his second Southern Oregon Dwarf Car 25 lap Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. The win moved Peters into second in points in a tie with Chad Cardoza and Kalvin Morton. However, Josh King used his second place Main Event finish to win the championship.
King, Cardoza and Camden Robustelli entered the evening in a tie for the point lead. Robustelli moved ahead as he held off Cardoza to win his six lap heat race. Peters outran Fred Hay to win his heat race and Morton beat King to win their heat race. This put Robustelli into a slim lead heading into the Main Event. Morton won the six lap A Dash ahead of Peters, and Joe Sanders outran the Mod Lite of Jesse Lorentz to win the eight lap B Dash.
Robustelli led the opening lap of the Main Event before Peters used an inside pass in Turn 4 to take the lead. King followed him into second. Robustelli was holding on to the third position, but his race took a turn for the worse when he tangled with a slower car entering the first turn for the only yellow flag on lap 11. Robustelli was forced to restart at the back of the pack as Peters led King and Morton on the restart. Morton had blown a motor in his own car at the previous race and was driving the borrowed Bud Lorentz car. Cardoza had settled into fourth by then, followed by Sanders. Robustelli was passing cars rapidly and had made it up to eighth by lap 15. Sanders took fourth from Cardoza on lap 18 as Robustelli was up to seventh. Robustelli passed Cody Peters for sixth on lap 22, but that's where his progress ended. Brock Peters did all he could to move into the point lead as he won the race, but he was only able to make it into second in the standings. King used his second place finish to win the championship as Morton gained a share of second with his third place finish. Sanders was a season best fourth, followed by Cardoza, Robustelli, Hay, Steve Walker, Mason Lewman and Jesse Lorentz.

Marble Wins Bobbio's Pizza Mini Stock Finale, Steele Is
The Champion At Southern Oregon Speedway
White City, Oregon...September 15...David Marble made his second appearance of the season in the Bobbio's Pizza Mini Stock division and won the 20 lap Main Event. Marble is the 2015 champion and needs only to start the final IMCA Sport Modified Main Event to win that division's championship. David Steele scored his second second place finish of the season, which was his worst finish of the year. He had already clinched the division championship just by starting the Main Event a week earlier.
Hunter Magnan started his evening off by outrunning Steve Goetz to win the four lap Trophy Dash. Magnan also won his six lap heat race ahead of Gary Anderson. Marble won the second heat race ahead of Steele. Tim Cunningham was driving a Ford Pinto that didn't quite fit the specifications of the rules and was allowed to start last in the Main Event for no money or points. 2017 champion Kristopher Mix was a Main Event scratch after heat race problems.
Marble and Magnan led the pack to the Main Event green flag, and Magnan led one lap before Marble went by in Turn 4 for the lead. Steele was running third and made an inside pass in Turn 4 of the fourth lap to take second from Magnan. Cunningham was putting on a show coming from deep in the pack and had already gained fourth by lap five. The third place battle was close, and Gary Anderson made a Turn 4 pass on lap eight to gain third, only to lose the position to Cunningham a lap later. Cunningham made an inside pass on the backstretch on the 10th lap to take second from Steele and made a low pass in Turn 4 on lap 15 to grab the lead from Marble. After leading the 16th lap, Cunningham began to slow and pitted as Marble regained the lead over Steele and Magnan. Marble led the remaining laps for the win, followed by Steele, Magnan, Anderson, Ashtin Hedges, Goetz, Michael McCloud, Garrett Fredrickson and Scott Yerges

Wonsyld Dominates In Fourth Win, Tritchler Wins JOAT Labs Hornets Championship At Southern Oregon Speedway
White City, Oregon...September 15...Leading the way from the start, Brandyn Wonsyld went on to win his fourth 20 lap JOAT Labs Hornets Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. Wonsyld also had five second place finishes during the season, but his absence from two races effectively put an end to his championship bid. With Tim Hedges struggling throughout the race, Wonsyld managed to move to within one point of him for second in the final standings. Meanwhile, impressive rookie Bree Tritchler used her fifth second place finish of the season to win the division championship.
Dylan Irving held off Dylan Sauer to win his fifth four lap Trophy Dash of the season. Wonsyld then outran Irving to win his six lap heat race, while Jenna Hedges outran Chris Boynton to win the second heat race. Though 2016 champion Tim Hedges gained a point on Tritchler after the heat races, he knew his motor wouldn't last long in the Main Event and had a concern that his car wouldn't even start. Had he failed to start, he would have lost second in the standings. Wonsyld and Jenna Hedges led the pack to the green flag and ran 1-2 at the start. Sauer settled into third. Tritchler was running in fifth and passed both Sauer and Irving for third on lap six. Lap seven saw Jenna Hedges get out of shape in Turn 4 and lose ground to Wonsyld. Tritchler continued her effort to close in on Jenna Hedges as Wonsyld held a straightaway advantage by lap 14. Tritchler finally moved by Jenna Hedges for second on lap 17, but only mechanical issues would stop Wonsyld. There were no problems as Wonsyld brought it home to the satisfying victory, followed by Tritchler. Sauer passed Jenna Hedges for third on lap 18 as she settled for fourth, followed by Irving, Boynton, Jenia Silva, John Ferreira, Zach Nelson and Tim Hedges.

Aos Wins Second Straight Valley Store All Late Model Lites Feature, Eaton Champion At Southern Oregon Speedway
White City, Oregon...September 15...Leading all the way from the start, Eric Aos won the 20 lap Valley Store All Late Model Lites Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway. This was the second straight win and third of the season for Aos. Charlie Eaton wrapped up the division championship with his third second place finish. Eaton also had three wins this season and had two season worst finishes of third.
Eaton opened the evening with a four lap Trophy Dash win ahead of his closest point rival, Greg Arnold, and he followed that up with a six lap heat race win in front of Eric Aos. Eric Aos charged into the Main Event lead from his outside front row starting position with Eaton in close pursuit. Greg Arnold and Dusty Aos were having a good battle for the second position until Dusty Aos pitted on lap seven. A couple of times, Eaton made a serious challenge for the lead. Contact between the two cars on the front stretch on the 13th lap saw Eaton back off rather than taking out the leader. Eric Aos kept his cool in the waning laps and scored the victory, followed by Eaton, Greg Arnold, Jim Cunningham and Dusty Aos.

The latest batch of USDA export inspection data, out Monday morning and covering the week ending February 28, showed grains falling mostly below analyst expectations.
"Export inspections last week also lagged behind rates needed to reach USDA's forecasts for the 2018 marketing year, though it's unclear whether that reflects subdued demand or transportation woes along the export pipeline to the Gulf," noted Farm Futures senior grain market analyst Bryce Knorr. "High water and flooding continue to hamper movements from the Ohio River down to New Orleans with two locks closed along the Ohio near the confluence of the two waterways."
Weekly export inspections for corn came in at 34.1 million bushels, moving slightly ahead of the prior week's tally of 30.0 million bushels and in the middle of trade expectations that ranged between 29 million and 37 million bushels. The weekly rate needed to match USDA forecasts moved higher, to 53.1 million bushels – although year-to-date inspections for 2018/19 topped 1.016 billion bushels, which is trending 36% higher year-over-year.
Japan was the No. 1 destination for U.S. corn export inspections last week, with 11.1 million bushels. Other top destinations mostly originated from the Western Hemisphere and included Mexico (7.4 million), South Korea (5.3 million), Colombia (3.2 million) and Honduras (1.9 million).
Soybean export inspections reached 31.0 million bushels, down from the prior week's tally of 48.1 million bushels and falling below analyst estimates that ranged from 33 million to 47 million bushels. The weekly rate needed to meet USDA forecast inched higher, to 34.1 million bushels. Cumulative totals for the 2018/19 marketing year reached 954 million bushels, still down 33% from a year ago.
China was the No. 1 destination for U.S. soybean export inspections last week, with 12.4 million bushels. Other top destinations included Egypt (5.5 million), the Netherlands (2.8 million), Mexico (2.3 million) and Japan (1.5 million).
"China was the leading destination but only accounted for only 40% of total inspections – not a terribly impressive number by historical standards in previous years," Knorr says. "China accounts for 14% of total inspections so far as business attempts to return to normal while negotiators try to hammer out a deal, possibly by the end of March."
Wheat export inspections totaled 16.2 million bushels last week, down from the prior week's total of 28.2 million bushels and below trade estimates that ranged between 22 million and 29 million bushels. The weekly rate needed to match USDA forecasts continues to move higher, now at 26.9 million bushels. And cumulative totals for the 2018/19 marketing year have fallen 7.3% year-over-year, having reached 623 million bushels.
Mexico was the No. 1 destination for U.S. wheat export inspections last week, with 2.4 million bushels. Other top destinations included Indonesia (2.0 million), Yemen (1.8 million), Chile (1.7 million), Japan (1.4 million) and Algeria (1.1 million).

Taiko no Tatsujin Ai no Theme long version
And please welcome....Taiko no Tatsujin's longest ever song, and the greatest tribute to the series ever made thus far! How did they drag the song on for so long? Let me just say this; it's a wonder what slow instrumentals can do when they're allowed to drag on without interjecting vocals.
The vocalist is also revealed....want to know who she is? She's not Japanese, that's for sure. Go check out the Song of the Week page for the song!

text: It is frustrating for parents when their child is being evaluated and they are told not to worry or should just wait for the results. Many experts now believe that parents should go ahead with their instincts and get their child evaluated if they feel that their child might not be developing normally. You can approach a local early childhood development program for further help. The guidelines given below are the first signs to watch out for Autism and might be helpful for you.

Untruths that creep in and become us
March 22, 2012
When was your first memory. I remember mine. I was about 3 weeks old. There were a bunch of people crowded in the front room of my parent's place. Some were smoking. One hung over me. Smoke rising past his ear. He was smiling. His teeth were yellow. And his eyes so large. And he was tickling me. And my father pulled him back. And told him to quit smoking.
I have this memory. But I'm told I couldn't. Not possible for a baby that age. Maybe my mother told me the story. And I recreated the scene in my imagination. That later got lodged in the memory vault. Memories are tricky things. The world we create is not the history we lived. What are these untruths that creep in and become us? Where do they come from?
Mrs. McGuire wore a red poke-a-dot dress. Her middle name was Eunice. The dress made her look like a farmer's wife. And the clovers of field. That used to send her into rapture. Mrs. McGuire knew all this. She was hungry for power. People trusted farm wives. Mrs. McGuire liked to be trusted. If she could have been elected. She would have run for the Socialists. They had the best tea parties. Where the young men served. Like crows on a wire. Where all the voices of the girls rattled on.
She was born in Cabbagetown. An old working class area. Of Toronto. Before it became TO. Her parents did not grow cabbages in their front lawn. Like some did. Her grandmother used to preach that folks should keep their farming to the backyard and only grow flowers in the front. It was a dictum that Mrs. McGuire never disagreed with.
Mrs. McGuire did not like her arms. They were too flabby. Sometimes Mrs. McGuire wore padding under the dress to make her hips look wider. She took the padding out of the shoulders of the dress. Mrs. McGuire's shoulders were already well padded. Like the cell that they'd kept her daddy in.
No one ever called her Eunice. What she wondered until the day she died was why people had middle names. Names that were never used. Maybe a back up. In case you lost your first. But no one ever did.
Mrs. McGuire liked her own space. Which was not always possible given her little acorn. Alvin, her little acorn, loved television. Especially commercials. Especially infomercials. Which is why along with her need for space, Mrs. McGuire left him sitting in his stroller. In front of the television monitor. Next to the drug dispensary. In the drug store. What could be safer? While she shopped around the drug store. By herself. Taking in the sights.
Little Alvin was pleased as punch.
His head cocked up at a 45 degree angle. His eyes trained on the monitor. There was a commercial about breast cancer. Alvin was overjoyed. Gurgling with glee. His eyes were wide open. Spit ran down his chin. He kicked his feet in the air. He was delighted with what he saw. He liked breasts. Although Alvin noticed that of late he saw less and less of Mrs. McGuire's breasts. She'd begun to complain. Especially after his teeth began to poke through his gums.
A new commercial began. It showed a picture of a woman smoking. It wasn't Mrs. McGuire. Although it could have been. Mrs. McGuire like to sneak a puff or two after what's his name went to work. Alvin squinted his eyes. Smoke hurt. He prepared himself to cough. But he didn't. This was just a commercial. That's what Alvin liked about television. It was safer.
Another infomercial. More breasts. And they were being squeezed. In a machine and for no apparent reason. Maybe they were trying to make orange juice, Alvin thought. The lady on the television was pretty. Pretty unhappy. Why were they hurting her breasts? Alvin was not pleased. He spit at the television but only managed to soak himself.
Next they showed a large park. With lots of grass and flowers. And butterflies. Alvin was fond of butterflies. They tasted good. Now they showed large stones sticking out of the ground. With people's names carved in them. There were people dressed in black wandering around the park. Tissues hanging from their eyes. They look lost.
Alvin laughed. It was a picnic. Alvin like picnics. Especially the ants. The big black ones. Which he liked to hide in his nose. They tickled. Alvin looked around. He noticed a lot of people moving through the aisles. There was music playing over the sound system but no one was moving to its rhythm. Alvin kicked his feet up and laughed. Wat-dat-to, Wat-dat-to, Wat-dat-to, Wat-dat-to, dat dat do, da da do.
He began to shake around in his stroller.
One old lady passing by screamed.
"What's wrong with the child?" Her hands clapped her cheeks.
Alvin clapped his cheeks.
A tall and older gentleman stooped over. Like a boa constrictor. Hanging from a tree.
What the problem was with this child.
There were hairs growing out of his nostrils. Spiders in caves. Alvin reached for them.
"Spasms!" the old man cried.
"Oh, dear," the old lady said. "What shall we do?"
A second lady, middle-aged and dragging her own nine year old behind her stepped up.
"Why don't you do something with your child?"
"It's not my child," the old lady explained. "I was just walking by."
"Someone should call someone," the taller old gentleman suggested.
The middle-aged woman bent over and gently held Alvin's hands. He turned and looked at her. And smiled. And stopped dancing.
"He wasn't having a seizure. He was just… moving to the music."
The taller old gentleman looked up at the ceiling and listened.
"I hardly noticed it." He smiled. Then the turned to the older woman.
"Would you care to dance?"
The older woman blushed.
"I don't dance well," she said.
The old man smiled. "I'll teach you." And took her in his arms.
And the older couple waltzed down the aisle.
The middle-aged woman and the nine year old she was dragging behind her moved on.
Alvin sat and smiled, watching the old couple move. And dreamed of pleasant afternoons when he was younger and Mrs. McGuire had danced with him. Her large breasts stuffed in his face. And the butterflies tasted sweet.
I had this urge to create an image of a seriously ugly woman. It could have been a man. But that would have been too easy. And I mean visually. Skin deep. Ugly. And that's when I came up with the idea to make half her face out of leather. And that would be the attractive side. The thing is. I like her. And I think in her rather gubular way, she likes me.

There's no sense using up all your good material at an away game.
Weer'd points out that the US Department of Agriculture is getting serious about taking on the feral pig problem.
But the agency needs more firepower for another kind of rural reckoning and is gearing up with thermal imaging weapons.
In its crosshairs are aggressive feral hogs that can weigh more than 400 lbs (180 kg) and have been known to carry off newborn calves. They cause about $1.5 billion of damage every year to farm communities and fields, say department officials, and now there are worries they may help spread a deadly pig virus.
Like Weer'd, I think it would be much more efficient to encourage American hunters and other gun owners to go out and shoot them instead of waiting on a government program.
Maybe the USDA, instead of buying the thermal sights themselves should help regular Americans to get them and join in the fight. They could even lean on the ATF to hurry along all those silencer approvals.
Uncle Sam wants YOU!
To get an AR, thermal sights, and a silencer
To WIPE OUT
HunsFeral Pigs!
Maybe Obama could get Shepard Fairey to do us up a poster.
Anyone with some graphic experience want to help Obama's USDA with this poster? Somehow I don't think Mr. Hope Poster will be all that friendly to this idea.

Sensex ends 1075 points higher as heavy buying continues after corporate rate cut
New Delhi: Heavy buying by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and domestic traders pushed up equity benchmark indices further on Monday after the corporate tax cut announced by the government last weekend.
The rationalisation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) for certain sectors too added cheer to the market sentiment. At the closing bell, the BSE S&P Sensex was up by 1,075 points or 2.8 per cent at 39,090 while the Nifty 50 was 329 points higher at 11,603.
At the National Stock Exchange (NSE), all sectoral indices except for IT and pharma were in the positive territory with Nifty private bank gaining by 5.6 per cent, financial service by 5.3 per cent, FMCG by 4.4 per cent and auto by 3 per cent.
Hotel stocks were up after the cut in corporate taxes and rationalisation of GST rates. Lemon Tree Hotels gained by 11.3 per cent, Indian Hotels by 8.2 per cent, ITC by 6.9 per cent, Hotel Leelaventure by 3.6 per cent and Chalet Hotels by 1.6 per cent.
Among others, the prominent winners were Bharat Petroleum Corporation which closed 13.6 per cent up at Rs 459 per share, and Indian Oil Corporation which gained by 8.4 per cent at Rs 143.75 apiece.
Indian engineering multinational Larsen & Toubro edged higher by 9.1 per cent, Bajaj Finance, and Eicher Motors by 8.9 per cent each and Asian Paints by 8.2 per cent.
Adani Ports, Bajaj Finserv, Axis Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank too were up by more than 7 per cent each.
However, IT scrips lost. Infosys was down by 4.9 per cent, Wipro by 2.7 per cent and Tata Consultancy Services by 2.2 per cent.
Meanwhile, most Asian share markets slipped as investors waited for more clarity on the US-China trade talks after recent negotiations. Oil prices rose by 1 per cent as Middle East tensions remained elevated.
Shanghai Composite Index was down by 0,98 per cent while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was 0.8 per cent weaker after a weekend of violent protests by pro-democracy activists. But South Korea's Kospi closed a notch higher. (ANI)

Oh Moneta, what a wonderful simple sew you are! I feel that despite no darts around the bust, this dress is close to perfect. I think I have found my go to skater style dress.
The Pattern itself is beautiful, I love the perfect blend of a vintage feeling piece, yet feels modern. It is still one of my faves, I love how it feels like a book but has the pattern tucked in the back. The instructions are simple, and well designed, the paper and texture of the cover give a vintage feel.
The sew itself was ridiculously simple, My first attempt was the version with the 3/4 length sleeves. The material I chose was not one that was recommended, but I felt comfortable using for this pattern with my level of experience. I SHOULD have included maybe an extra 1-2cm to even out the fabric not having too much stretch, but once on it didn't look too snug and actually complimented the boobs a bit more. The fabric was a slight stretch graphic print that I found in a dump bin for £5. I got about 2-3 metres ish but it was roughly sewn together, so i had a mission to cut the pattern out around it.
At first I was unsure of the print ( I am unsure of all print to be fair…) but i felt it had a modern feel, like it could possibly be found in a Topshop as part of a collection. Then I questioned my use of it on a more traditional silhouette, i was considering a shift or smock top. But i am glad I went with it. The back has a long zip in an eggshell blue that compliments the slight blue in the pattern. I made this when I went blonde, but with the Pink Hair I adore this! It just works, and still looks cool although technically it is a floral dress.
I did not line this as the pattern suggested, I just felt that the fabric has a slight thickness to it that if lined, maybe to hot for summer.
The Hem was a pain in the bum with this material, I was trying out my rolled hem foot, its a bit wonky in places but overall a good attempt. In the future, I may shorten it slightly and cheer the hem up to my perfectionist standard.
A couple of Days (if that) later, I was bitten by the Moneta bug again and whipped up this little beauty:
I chopped 12cm off the bottom to give it a modern length and experimented with a long sleeve as I LOVE A SLEEVE. The material was some grey speckle thick jersey I had laying about. TBF, yes i know it is not as beautiful as the first attempt, but this I will wear the shit out of!
Both of these were made a while back (13 weeks according to instagram) and I am yet to make another. the reason for this is mainly because I have been pushing my sewing and trying different things. I will pick this back up going into Autumn:
The moneta + tights + long sleeves + boots = Happy winter me.

NOWs: Produktion. Made in Germany Drei
Produktion. Made in Germany Drei
Kestner Gesellschaft, Kunstverein Hannover, Sprengel Museum Hannover
Exhibition opening: June 2nd, 2017, 5.00 pm
17.00 pm – Sprengel Museum Hannover
19.00 pm – Kestner Gesellschaft
20.15 pm – Kunstverein Hannover
22.00 pm – IMPUREFICTION, Perfomance – Kunstverein Hannover/Literaturhaus
The third edition of Made in Germany, which is collectively curated on a five-year-cycle by the three institutions, focuses on the conditions of producing art in Germany. The group exhibition pursues the questions of how geographical, political, and institutional structures as well as new technologies are creating important conditions for the production of art in the course of the digital turn. In an art landscape that, by international standards, continues to have a unique concentration of institutions (art academies and colleges, art associations, and museums), the German scene is a major international site for the production of and discourse on contemporary art.
The exhibition focuses on artistic positions that address production processes and examines the sites at which it is produced and presented. Besides processual approaches, by way of examples it investigates forms of production that direct the spotlight on network concepts. This becomes palpable based on collective approaches and time-based presentations in which the body and the social attain altered visibilities.
As participating institutions, the Schauspiel Hannover, the Festival Theaterformen, and the KunstFestSpiele are contributing the first time, supplementing the question of production and site with additional projects and thus highlighting the changing production conditions of theater and performance not only in spaces of visual art.

Chackbay Final Chapter V
We headed out to Hymel's for a wonderful lunch. The place looked like it had been there forever and was packed. Rightly so. I had one of the best meals in recent weeks. Their crab au gratin was some of the best I've ever had. Harry had some crawfish bisque and Beth did a shrimp cocktail and stuffed crab. We all enjoyed it very much. As it was Henry's birthday on Thurs, Beth and I split the check. We love our Henry!!!!
Afterwards, we stopped at St. Michael's Church and Grotto in Convent. This was probably the highlight of my day. What a beautiful church! Filled with chalices and candlesticks from the 1700's. Behind the altar was a grotto. I lit 3 candles for my folks and Dom's dad. Then sat down and said a prayer for Dominic's health. Left feeling anew. Much to my surprise/delight, Beth sent me a photo of the grotto. It's rather apparent that she caught some ORBS. (ghosts/spiritual beings/whatever). I'm posting the original photo, as well as a copy that I indicated these supernatural appearances on "film".
After we left there, we took a quick drive around the Boudousquie-Godchaux House in Reserve. As Beth joked, "Godchaux Nose!!!!!". Before we left Beth's house, she loaded me up with fresh oregano, basil and a bag of frozen trout. (My kitchen smells heavenly, as I'm making pasta using her herbs!) Henry dropped me off at the apartment around 4 pm. Chris was here watching the Alabama game with Dom. I gave him some of Beth's herbs and he was tickled.
Presently, Dom is at Dennis P.'s to visit with him and his brother. As there's no Saints game on today, I'm watching DIRTY ROTTEN BIKERS on the History Channel. (They call it "Gangland", but nevermind!)

John Zaring | The Rational Center: The Last Line of DefenseJohn Zaring October 8, 2018 0 COMMENTS
On Saturday Oct. 6, Judge Brett Kavanaugh became Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Well, I got that one wrong. No shock there. After all, I'm the guy who famously predicted in 2016 that there simply weren't enough racist and grumpy old white people left in America to elect Donald Trump president (and while technically true, if most Americans don't vote, well, we get The Donald).
In truth, Kavanaugh would have been confirmed last weekend was it not for Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) tossing Democrats a lifeline. Just when all seemed lost, Flake told Republican leaders that he'd withhold his vote unless and until a more fulsome FBI investigation – albeit one "limited in time and scope" – looked into the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh.
With that courageous act, one last line of defense was granted.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford told the Senate Judiciary Committee in her opening statement that she feared her lone voice would ultimately be drowned out by powerful men, and it turns out her fear was valid. On Saturday, despite Ford assuring senators that she was "one hundred percent" certain that her attacker was a then-seventeen-year-old Brett Kavanaugh, Senate Republicans and one red state Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, nonetheless elevated him to the Supreme Court, the highest court in our land.
In so doing, the hopes of many Americans – including millions of American women – collapsed beneath the hubris of a bunch of old white men. Speaking of tone-deaf old white men, after the vote was final, President Trump tweeted out that Kavanaugh was a "GREAT NOMINEE" and labeled his confirmation "very exciting." Later on Saturday, he took to the stage in Kansas – a state under total control of Republicans that have been drowning under their policies – to call Democrats "arsonists" who can't be trusted to follow the rule of law. Talk about spit-shining some scuffed-up boots.
While it's true the Republican base rallied around Kavanaugh, given all of Trump's daily disasters, it's debatable whether they can maintain that energy through November 6. After all, when you win, anger is harder to sustain.
That's not the case when you lose.
Many American women, already frustrated with the GOP's white male patriarchy, will move their protests from the halls of Congress back into the streets, using Kavanaugh's confirmation as a rallying cry to carry Democrats to victory in the midterms, especially in the House.
Here in California's 25th Congressional District, Rep. Steve Knight's campaign brain trust will need to thread the proverbial needle as it endeavors to put a positive spin on the Kavanaugh confirmation. Their challenge will be in figuring out a way to simultaneously champion Trump's consolidation of conservative power on the Supreme Court without further alienating the suburban women who populate the district, the independents and some Republicans who believe the FBI's investigation was needlessly hamstrung by the limitations placed by Trump's White House.
In fairness, the FBI found itself in a no-win situation, and I think they did the right thing by not bucking Trump's marching orders and interviewing everyone they felt deserved attention, consequences be damned. Had they done that it would have meant going against the rule of law, and despite everything, frankly because of all that we've endured, it is important that the rules, those both written and unwritten, be followed.
Just a few weeks ago Trump was bloviating about the FBI being a cesspool controlled by vengeful Democrats. Now that they've followed orders and nothing more, he's singing their praises. And that, my friends, is the problem with having a compromised person like Trump in charge of our nation. Ironically, it was Brett Kavanaugh who reminded us that in the current political environment, "What goes around comes around," yet regardless of what side you find yourself, this whole mess has been tragic.
There are the very real personal costs for Dr. Ford, her family, friends and frankly all victims of sexual assault, harassment or behavior. I feel for Kavanaugh's wife and his kids too. In fighting this out, it appears that nearly everyone in Washington – and many of us in our social media – has lost sight of what matters most: that we are all Americans.
On a local level, with more women heading to the polls it will likely benefit the two Democrats on the ballot, Katie Hill and Christy Smith. They're running against two pro-Trump Republicans – Rep. Knight and California Assemblyman Dante Acosta – men who have been legislatively absent on issues that are important to most women and morally absent when it comes to repudiating Trump's worst impulses. Plus, in Acosta's case, questions still linger around a sexual harassment accusation made by a Republican woman that date to Jan. 2015, when he worked as a field staffer for Rep. Knight.
Both races are currently too close to call – again, it will come down to turnout – and the winners are likely to only eke out their victories. If I were running the Hill and Smith campaigns, I'd focus on women's issues and health care for the final thirty days because when the smoke clears on Nov. 6, it is likely female voters who will be the actual last line of defense.
If this time I don't get it wrong, while Trump and his enablers in the Senate "plowed through" and got Brett Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court, in winning that battle, it's likely they will lose the war.
We'll know soon enough.

s someone there?" Yoshiko recognized the voice. It was Mr. Shimizu. For a moment, she was excited and relieved to hear someone familiar. Even in the dark, she struggled to turn in the direction of the voice, but the best she could do was turn her head.
"Mr. Shimizu. Over here."
"Ah, Hayashi-kun? Are you alright?" he said in a weak voice.
"It's dark and I can't move my body. I think something's on top of me."
"Me, too. It looks like the building's collapsed. Just stay still. Someone will come to help us soon."
Just as Yoshiko was about to answer, she heard a shudder, and whatever was on top of her shifted at an angle downward, freeing her hands. But she was still pinned down from the waist. "I can move my hands, now."
"The rubble is shifting. Maybe you can wiggle yourself free."
Yoshiko tried hard to push whatever was on top of her, but she was afraid of pushing too hard. Not seeing what was on her as well as what was around her unnerved her. "I can't," she yelled. "I'm scared."
"Hang in there," Mr. Shimizu said, when there was anothter big creak and a thud.
Yoshiko let out a scream. Then she covered her mouth instinctively out of embarassment. She didn't necessarily have a low voice, but she knew that her scream was not very girl-like. Her brother had told her as much a year earlier.
The summer of 1944 was hot and muggy. Sleep was virtually impossible. On one particularly muggy night, she and her brother spent the night drinking cups of cold barley tea in an attempt to cool off.
"Yoshiko, I have to pee." Tadao confessed.
"Then go, why don't you?"
"It's dark," he whined.
Yoshiko got up from her bedding. "Okay, let's go," she sighed in resignation.
In some of the more recent homes, the toilet was isolated down a long hall at one end of the structure. But the house in which they lived–their grandparents' home–dated back to the Edo period, according to her grandfather, so the toilet was located in a separate structure out back. While spotless, an outhouse is still an outhouse, Yoshiko often opined. There were ten gray stepping stones at even intervals covering the twenty feet between the back door and the toilet. As far back as they could remember, they would jump from stone to stone, yelling the number of the stone they landed on–Two! Four! Seven! Nine! Indeed, this is how they learned the various counters used in Japanese. Yoshiko would say pencil, and Tadao would count using the counters for long narrow objects: ippon, sanbon, gohon, nanahon, as he jumped from stone numbers one, three, five and seven. Then Tadao would yell plates, indicating flat objects, and Yoshiko would call out nimai, yonmai, rokumai, hachimai, as she jumped from stone two to four to six to eight.
In the middle of the night, they did not want to make a ruckus, so they were not going to raise their voice. And, as they often did when not adults were looking, they went barefoot. Out of habit, Yoshiko jumped from stone to stone. Two, four, si… She froze as her foot landed on something wet and gushy. She looked down at her feet and saw in the moonlight that she had squished a frog the size of her fist. Every muscle in her body tensed as she bellowed. "Oooooooooh."
Tadao started to laugh hysterically, trying to stifle himself by covering his mouth with his hand. But he had buckled over in laughter.
"What!?! Why are you laughing." Yoshiko was staring at the frog that was still moving.
"Foghorn? Ooooh!" Yoshiko bellowed again when the frog suddenly hopped away into the darkness. She caught her breath, relieved that she did not have to deal with a dead frog. "What do you mean, foghorn?"
Tadao was still laughing. "Your 'scream'. It sounds like a foghorn."
My scream sounds like a foghorn? Yoshiko repeated mentally. At that moment, Yoshiko hated her brother. How could he say that? I just yelled in surprised. There's no need to compare it to a FOGHORN! Tadao, I just hate you. But at least it was only her brother who heard her. She swore that she would never let out a loud voice again, for fear that someone else would hear her foghorn of a scream. And she didn't, not until a year later when she was pinned beneath a mountain of rubble, one that used to be the municipal building in which she worked.

Libyan Oil Production Could Get Major Boost'
Libya's oil production could rise by several hundred thousand barrels daily when BP and Eni resume production at a shared field, the head of the country's state oil company told Bloomberg
Mustafa Sanalla said Libya's current oil production was more than 1 million bpd "despite local security challenges" adding that BP and Eni planned to restart their exploratory drilling operations at a field near the Libyan border with Tunisia in the first quarter of next year. They could then fast-track production, Sanalla said
'US Gulf Coast Crude Exports Fall As Freight Costs Surge'
U.S. Gulf Coast crude oil exports have been slowing in recent weeks, due to arbitrage constraints because of surging freight rates, S&P Global Platts reports, citing market participants' expectations of 1.7 million bpd-1.8 million bpd of exports for November
Freight rates started to increase early in October for all ship classes, with rates trending higher due to routes delayed by weather, more lightering activities, and increased ship movement between Mexico's east coast and the U.S. Gulf Coast

STEREOTYPES https://bestbrides.org ABOUT SINGLES YOU NEED TO BE RID OF
You might start thinking that when youa��re still single in your 30s or 40s there will be something incorrect to you. But even although you feel safe along with your status that is unmarried individuals dona��t. They wish to understand whether youa��re internet dating somebody and when perhaps maybe maybe perhaps not, the reason why. And their particular concerns slowly make one feel a type of lacking.
You will find therefore numerous misconceptions about singles plus they are often spread by the individuals whom believe that you must be if youa��re a single 30-somethinginside a commitment. This stereotype appeared years that are many whenever early marriages had been a normal thing. Our modern life dictates brand-new guidelines and today it is ok to remain solitary and soon you make career that is good fulfill your self. But people who have a way that is stereotypical of will frown upon singles. The responsibility of public-opinion can possibly prevent singles from becoming delighted as it undermines their particular belief in on their own. Stereotypes about singles are wide ranging you should disregard them all and hold trying to find your love. Therefore, throw the after myth out of the mind.
Love will get a hold of you also without your endeavors.
In Russia, there clearly was a stating that love will even find you in the event that you forever to use house and never ever keep your property. Beri naprej

There are many people who do what each of us does, both online and off. So why will someone choose your products and services instead of those from someone else? The answer to this question will make a huge difference in your bottom line.
For example, if you write eBooks about arthritis pain, offer teleseminars, and even have a 4 week program for those who want to reduce their pain from arthritis without taking pain medication, what makes your information different from what is already available out on the internet?
You must set yourself apart from the others in some way. This is your USP, or unique selling proposition. The most obvious way is price, but this is not the best thing to do. Lowering your price in order to make sales and get more clients will always be a losing proposition. The clothing industry did that here in the United States, and many retailers were forced to close during 2008.
Think about why you are in the niche that you have chosen. Usually you have a personal connection with it, so there is a story you can tell. My story is the reason I teach technology and online writing to entrepreneurs around the world. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to learn a new piece of software or to write an eBook. My experience is part of my USP.
Ask people who know you well to tell you what is different about the way you do things. They will tell you things that will amaze you. Write them down so you can give some thought to it later on. What you are trying to find out is how others perceive you. This is very different from how we perceive ourselves. I was shocked when people told me how patient I was when I explained technology to them. Now that is part of my unique selling proposition.
Figuring out your USP and how to use it in your business will take you on a journey of self-discovery. When you learn more about yourself, you will be better equipped to serve others with your products and services.

Reasons why You Should Consider Escape Rooms
A game that involves solving a series of puzzles, fusing the hints in order to make your way out of the adventure is not us escape room.Is a new concept that has revolutionized the gaming field and is quickly becoming popular among people. It is a game that involves your thinking, problem-solving skills and your ability to work in a team. The benefits of playing this game are numerous and you cannot just stop once you have had an experience of it.
It is undeniable that this game is fun and quite engaging. It is not just the fun that you experience with other games but this one is smart fun because it engages your thinking capacity. When you believe escape rooms you have to engage your thinking because it is only after you have sold the puzzles, clues and used the hints provided that you will be able to complete it. You also have to work with other people and put your thoughts and creativity together. Once you have played escape rooms, you will start viewing games differently and wanting to have the experience again.
Additionally, another advantage of the escape rooms is that it encourages teamwork and creativity. The developers of this game made it in a way that people have to work together so as to complete it. You cannot win the game alone but you must engage the ideas of other players and so the clues together. Better and creative ideas must be developed in the process and this will challenge you as you play the game. Solving the clues is only possible if you work as a team and this will require you to employ teamwork.
Last but not least, leadership skills become evident as you play escape rooms and as an employer you can also identify good performers from the results of the game. For team to win the game in the shortest time possible, it will only be possible if there was a leader guiding the team. Escape Room Lexington challenge people with leadership skills to come out and this would greatly help a company identify someone who is feet to take up the management position so that they can direct and challenge others to focus on becoming better than they are. The advantage of this is that the company will save time since they will not have to undergo so many processes to identify a leader among the many employees available. Because of the advantages mentioned, escape room is the game employees should be encouraged to play.

- About this book
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current and emerging challenges of cyber criminology, victimization and profiling. It is a compilation of the outcomes of the collaboration between researchers and practitioners in the cyber criminology field, IT law and security field.As Governments, corporations, security firms, and individuals look to tomorrow's cyber security challenges, this book provides a reference point for experts and forward-thinking analysts at a time when the debate over how we plan for the cyber-security of the future has become a major concern.
Many criminological perspectives define crime in terms of social, cultural and material characteristics, and view crimes as taking place at a specific geographic location. This definition has allowed crime to be characterised, and crime prevention, mapping and measurement methods to be tailored to specific target audiences. However, this characterisation cannot be carried over to cybercrime, because the environment in which such crime is committed cannot be pinpointed to a geographical location, or distinctive social or cultural groups.
Due to the rapid changes in technology, cyber criminals' behaviour has become dynamic, making it necessary to reclassify the typology being currently used. Essentially, cyber criminals' behaviour is evolving over time as they learn from their actions and others' experiences, and enhance their skills. The offender signature, which is a repetitive ritualistic behaviour that offenders often display at the crime scene, provides law enforcement agencies an appropriate profiling tool and offers investigators the opportunity to understand the motivations that perpetrate such crimes. This has helped researchers classify the type of perpetrator being sought.
This book offers readers insights into the psychology of cyber criminals, and understanding and analysing their motives and the methodologies they adopt. With an understanding of these motives, researchers, governments and practitioners can take effective measures to tackle cybercrime and reduce victimization.

She studied at University of Toronto, Faculty of Music. She has performed as a singer/songwriter in theatres and clubs in Southern Ontario with a wide range of artists including Salome Bey, Liberty Silver and composer Ricky Hyslop at CBC Radio. For the last 10 years, she has studied a variety of traditional and folk dances including Odissi Temple Dance, Kalbelia Dance, Middle Eastern & Central Asian Folkdance and American Tribal Style Bellydance. Most recently, Ariane spent January 2016 at the Shakti School of Dance in Pushkar, India, training in Odissi with Sudhansu Pohana and Kalbelia with Raki Kalbelia. She has studied with Paromita Kar, Colleena Shakti, Simona Jovic, Miriam Perez, Nourhan Sharif, Faten Salama, Sahra Saeeda, Lubna Eman, Aida Nour and Aisha Ali. Ariane is a founding member of Troupe Obskurah, a folk music/dance collective that performs and educates audiences on Middle Eastern, Turkish, Central & South Asian dance and music. She is passionate about preserving and performing the history of music and dance of these regions. She is active in organizing shows that spotlight lesser known folkdances and indigenous peoples, such as The Roma Dance Celebration, in 2015, which included dances from the Yazidi, Tajik, Kalbelia, Afghani and Rom cultures.
(Introduction to Kalbelia dance performed by Ariane Terveld)
As the sun dips to the horizon and the incense from distant temples rises in sacred offering, the nomadic kalbelia people build their fires to warm them through the cool desert night. An assortment of horses, camels, goats and dogs settle in beside the rough twig and tarp shelters. Babies in hammock cribs sleep soundly as chapattis are slapped onto cooking pans. Soon these people of the snake will gather together to drum, sing and dance amid the sand hills and thorny scrub of Thar desert in northwestern Rajasthan. They are a quietly proud people, living on the fringes of society. Snake charming and snake catching is their main livelihood and their dance reflects the sensuous and wild movements of the revered cobra. The beat of the dholak and the reedy melody of the been carry out across the night, the distinctive ancient sound of the kalbelia. As the stars appear overhead, the twinkles of brightly decorated dancers twirling beside the fire seem almost to touch the sky creating a connection with the universe.

Brandy Leary
Brandy creates contemporary performances through the body: active as a dancer, choreographer, aerialist, writer, arts advocate, community cultivator, space maker, Artistic Director, educator and curator. Her performance works have been produced and performed in Canada, Europe, India, South Africa and the USA in theatres, urban environments, festivals, museums, art galleries and isolated landscapes.
She has lived between Canada and India for the past 17 years training, collaborating and creating (both explicitly and implicitly) in the traditional Indian performing languages of Seraikella and Mayurbhanj Chhau (dance), Kalarippayattu (martial art) and Rope Mallakhamb (aerial rope). In Canada she works with western approaches to aerial rope, the bridge discipline of Axis Syllabus, post contemporary dance/circus practices and psychic/shamanistic explorations to create performances.
Her 2014 work Cascade, a large scale durational aerial choreography, was cited by Kathleen Smith of NOW Magazine as one of the top 5 performances of the year, expressing the work's effect on her as " I was spellbound and becalmed by this 12-hour immersive meditation featuring stately aerial rope work, stunning projections and atmospheric music". Other pieces have been pronounced as "soulful and sensuous (New York Times), "hilarious" (Money on Theatre) and described as creating "a hallucinatory, dreamlike state" (Fran Schechter NOW). Much of her choreographic work is based in ritual and participatory structures operating both within, but most often outside, of Eurocentric frameworks.
She founded Anandam Dancetheatre as an umbrella structure for her performance projects (www.anandam.ca) and is its Artistic Director. She is a founder and Co-Director of Collective Space (an alternative performance and rehearsal venue in Toronto's west end), Founder and Co-Artistic Director of CCAFT (Contemporary Circus Arts Festival of Toronto), developer of Anandam's Audience In Residence Program and curator/co-producer of the Body Brake dance series at Theatre Passe Muraille. She is a driving force in the evolution of contemporary circus practice in Toronto as a choreographer, performer, curator and festival director working from values of experimentation, discourse development, curiosity and collaboration.
Brandy is a triple Shastri Indo Canadian Fellow, a Chalmers Professional Development Awardee, a visiting artist for the Shiv Nadar University MFA Program (India), a Toronto Arts Council Cultural Leadership Fellow for 2016, has been twice shortlisted for the KM Hunter Award in Dance 2009 and 2011 was a 2013 Multi-Disciplinary Dance Artist Nominee for the Soulpepper Dance Awards and is a Toronto Arts Council Cultural Leadership Fellow for 2016. She has had her work supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, Hal Jackman Foundation, CreatiVenture Collective, Bata Shoe Museum, Summerworks, Rhubarb Festival, Fringe NYC, City Leaks Urban Arts (Cologne), Infecting the City Public Arts Festival (Cape Town) , Theatre Passe Muraille , Dance Made In/Fait au Canada Festival, CCAFT, Darpana Academy (India) , Circus NOW, Metcalf Foundation, Ontario Arts Council, Toronto Arts Foundation, Toronto Arts Council, Blackwood Gallery, AGO and Nuit Blanche.

Enakshi Sinha
Dance, Strength, Grace & Passion
'Mastery over Laykari and sensitive abhinaya are two facets of this talented dancer. Enakshi's body movements, use of her mudras and her facial expression are beyond comparison." - Hindustan Times says. ( www.enakshi.org/)
In her short span of her arrival in Canada from India she has already made her mark by giving performances in the major festivals of Canada. Enakshi has established herself as one of the top rankers in the country. Enakshi cultivated a lifelong devotion to Indian Classical dance starting with Bharatnatyam from the tender age of five under the guidance of Guru Thankamuni Kutty. She then passionately fell in love with the Odissi dance and learnt this subtle form from Smt. Sharmila Biswas. Her distinctive style came from her direct training from Padmavibhusan Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra & Guru Ratikanta Mohapatra in Srjan, Bhubaneshwar. Her active performance career spans for the last 17 years that includes performing in major festivals in India, Europe & North America. At present Enakshi is the Founder Chairperson and Artistic Director of her dance institution 'Mrudanga Dance Academy'. Since three years Mrudanga had hosted two day dance festival "Umang – Light of Hopes" in Windsor inviting renowned artistes from India & North America. One critical contribution of Mrudanga has been to promote Indian art & culture merging with other cultures and present it for the audience in Canada. Enakshi had the honor to perform for Indian PM Mr. Narendra Modi during his visit to Toronto in April 2015 at Rico Coliseum Centre, Toronto.
