Round three of the Winter League was eventually completed at the third attempt and two teams now share the lead, Dougie Stevenson's Team Seven and Philip Strong's Team Three.
Team Seven scored 293 points in round three for their 10 best cards. That was good enough for fourth place in the round and they picked up five points. Their running total is 14.5 points, level with team three.
They had five scores in the 30's, B. J. Mc Anarney 33, Tom Mulholland 32, Mel Hamill 32, Darren Barker 32 and Aidy McEvoy 31.
The scores of Philip Mallon 28, Bobby Geddis 27, Joe Whiteside 27, Verdun Bond 26 and Dougie Stevenson 25 also counted.
Mel Hamill is one of only two players to have scored in the 30's each round. The other one is Kenny Arlow of team three.
Team 7 was my prediction to win the league and they are going the right way about achieving just that.
Team Three scored 298 points in round three for their best 10 cards. That was the second best team score and they gained six points. That raised their running total to 14.5 points and they jumped from third place to joint top.
They had six scores in the 30's and that really helped their cause.
Bill McCandless lead the way with a superb 37 points and Michael Robinson 33, Neville Kerr 32, Colin Kennedy 31, Kenny Arlow 31 and Philip Strong 30 followed him.
The other four counting scores came from John Convery 28, Sam Wilkinson 28, Danny O'Boyle 25 and Niall Parfitt 23.
Kenny Arlow is their star player with three scores of 30, 32 and 31 points.
Team Two, captained by Sean Quinn, scored 299 points in round three, the best total of the round.
That gave them the maximum seven team points and their running total went up to 13 points. They moved up from sixth place to joint third.
They too had six scores in the 30's with Cathal O'Neill the top player with 36 points.
Then came Nigel Bryson 35, Lyle Rea 33, Peter Cruikshanks 31, Sean Quinn 31 and Alan McVey 30.
Add those scores to Tom Nelson 28, Seamus McGrath 25, John Poots 25 and Brian Parkes 25 and you get the wonderful total of 299 points.
Team Four captained by Gerry Blevins, have led the winter league for the first two rounds. They faded somewhat in round three. Their 10 best scores totalled 287 and that was only good enough to get them 3 team points. They now have the grand total of 13 points and they have dropped down to joint third place.
Malcolm Russell 34, Eamon McAnarney 32 and Gary Hazley 31, Peter Hillen 29, Alan McGowan 29, Norman Doak 29, Ashton Clydesdale 27, Gerry Blevins 26, Kyle Buchanan 25 and Cathal McNiff 25.
Team One, captained by Johnny McKinstry, managed a team total of 288 points in round three. That was fourth best and they added four points to their running total that goes up to 12 points and they are now in fifth place.
Team captain, Johnny McKinstry, led from the front with 34 points.
Brian Knox also had 34 points and then came Kenny Baines 31, Neil Clydesdale 30, Gareth Martin 29, John Redpath 29, Joe Glass 27, Paul Faulkner 26, Robin Jardine 26 and Felix Duffy 22.
Team Five captained by Kieran McGreevey, continue their freefall down the winter league table. They were in second place after the opening round and they now find themselves in sixth place.
Their 10 best cards in round three added up to 285 points. This was the second lowest score and they only got two points to add to their team total. That total now stands at nine points.
Brian Henning was their top scorer in round three with 32 points.
Patrick McAleenan 31, Jeffrey Brown 30 and P.J. Johnson 30 were the only other players to reach the 30 points mark.
Gordon Enderson 29, Tony Lunney 28, Sean McGreevey 27, Kieran McGreevey 27, Declan Dooher 26 and Roland Harwood 25 were the other counting scores.
Round Four will be crucial for Team Five.
Team Six, captained by Alan Close, are bottom of the winter league table after three rounds. Alan's team scored 264 points in round three for their 10 best cards. This was the lowest score and they only got one point. Their current team total is nine points.
Vaughan Lamont 32, Colin McKinney 32, Ian craven 30 and Albert Morrison 30 are above reproach as a score in the 30's is always excellent.
Alan Close 28, Norman Robb 26, Mark McCullough 26, Joe Thompson 23, Gary McCormick 20 and Ainsley Murray 17 were the other counting scores.

Paint wooden hearts using pink, red and white craft paint and a foam brush.
After the paint is dry (this should only take 5 to 10 minutes), apply 2 coats of Clear Chalkboard Coating, following the package instruction. By doing this you are turning the painted wooden hearts into chalkboards.
After the Chalkboard Clear Coating is dry (about 20 minutes) glue clothespins to the back of each heart using a hot glue gun.
Allow 24 hours for the coating to cure. Once the wait period is over, prime the hearts by gently rubbing a piece of chalk over each heart and wiping off. Write your descriptions on each heart and a cute message on the top.

The New York Times has this hack of an opinion piece on the Indian nuclear deal. I felt like expressing my Indian viewpoint on some of the things it said, so here goes:
Article: IN the next day or so, an obscure organization will meet to decide the fate of an Indian nuclear deal that threatens to rapidly accelerate New Delhi's arms race with Pakistan — a rivalry made all the more precarious by the resignation on Tuesday of the Pakistani president, Pervez Musharraf.
Response: The Pakistan angle is always used as a catch-all to explain why India shouldn't have nukes. This is hypocritical and specious. Hypocritical, because rivalries between the USA and Russia have always been closer to nuclear flashpoint level than those between India and Pakistan. Specious, because India and Pakistan are actively taking steps towards reconciliation and there's no clear reason to believe that nukes will play a role in any future conflict.
Article: If the president gets his way, the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty — for 50 years, the bulwark against the spread of nuclear weapons — would be shredded and India's yearly nuclear weapons production capability would likely increase from 7 bombs to 40 or 50.
Response: The NPT is no bulwark; all it does is allow for a veil of secrecy for certain nations to secretly proliferate with impunity. China has been giving nuke tech away to Pakistan for decades. The USA gave nuke tech to Israel. And Pakistan proliferated to Iran even as the US mollycoddled it and gave it military funds.
Article: India's nuclear history is checkered at best
Response: Er, no. Now you're just lying. India has a perfect nonproliferation record.
Article: ... exploits foreign nuclear energy assistance to make a bomb, as India did. [India] misused civilian nuclear technology to produce its first nuclear weapon in 1974
Response: How was it better or more ethical to use Nazi war tech to create nuclear weapons, and then use those weapons to kill hundreds of thousands of people, than to use civilian nuke tech to explode a handful of proof-of-concept weapons? Does the former not count as misuse?
Article: Just last month, the Pakistani government darkly announced that waiving the nuclear rules for India "threatens to increase the chances of a nuclear arms race in the subcontinent."
Response: Perhaps this is just a pressure tactic from a nation which had also demanded the same concessions that India did but never got them? That ever cross your mind?
Article: India must sign the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, a step already taken by 178 other countries and every member state of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. After all, why should the group's members grant India a huge exemption from the rules that they themselves are supposed to follow?
Response: Perhaps this can wait until India achieves nuclear parity with the exclusive nuclear club and stockpiles a few thousand nukes. Why not ask why the nuclear weapon states aren't required to reduce their arsenal to the 5 or 6 bombs that India has? After all, the USA has thousands of nukes, enough to destroy the entire world. Why should a treaty designed specifically to protect the USA and other nuke countries' nuclear stockpiles be allowed to stand? Finally, this demand is ridiculously unrealistic in the face of the fact that India has consistently refused it for 5 decades and domestic public opinion is perhaps 90% opposed to it.
Article: India must agree to halt production of nuclear material for weapons.
Response: First, is India continuing to produce nuclear material for weapons? Then why aren't there any more than 5-7 nukes in India? Second, India should halt production when the existing nuke powers reduce their stockpiles to Indian levels, and not before that.
The world will be a better place when 60 year old, old-world, Nixon-era-educated India-haters like the authors of this article are all gone.

Jonas Kopp - shibu
Dadub - Force Continuum Abuse
Eomac - I Am Starting To Believe
Jonas Kopp pumps the drums hard on opener 'Shibu'. It is pure peak-time material, fit with siren-like synths, heavy kicks and hi-hats to get the shoulders moving. Dadub take the record deeper with 'Force Continuum Abuse'. For the first three minutes of stretched soundscape, the percussion warms up with sparse and off-kilter hits. Eomac begins the B-side with 'I Am Starting To Believe'. The track's echoing synths hang free in a spacious mid-range, intermittently making way for long chords and elusive vocal snippets. Last but not least, Chevel; his sound is distinctive amongst the SA roster, mostly due to his acute focus on the percussive elements and intriguing take on minimalism.
>Selected Feedback
- James Ruskin Great varied package.
- Rockerilla Super powerful.

because they have been
shared, held, read, and enjoyed
by many.
assorted chocolates,
I love all of your photos, but the box of chocolates really caught my attention! lol
That towel is fabulous. Just fabulous.
And I've seen that Rockwell painting in person. It was one of my favorites -- part of a two-part piece. The top showed the family going on the outing, the bottom, coming home. He nailed it!
What a nice towel Sheri! I used to love going through cookbooks and looking up recipes! Have a great week!
Isn't it nice to extend birthday celebrations with family? What thoughtful gifts from your's. The tea towel is perfect for you as is the cookbook and cup. The Norman Rockwell painting is perfect. It really reminds me of times past. His work is so Americana! Enjoy those See's candies, my friend. ♥
Sheri, I think that painting is so funny. Look at the grandma sitting so straight and quiet while the kids are hanging out the windows....that is exactly why seat belts were invented. LOL. But I still see dogs hanging out. Oh what nice gifts from your siblings. I love that you shared the chocolates. I like little added things to books too. Blessings to you, xoxo,love, Susie
You are so lucky to have siblings. I always wanted brothers or sisters, but that never happened. Sounds like you all had a terrific time and the duck fries look so good. I love french fries.
Looks like you received some wonderful gifts.
Have a wonderful week.
Very heartwarming, best wishes.
Always Nice to have familly diners....Great gifts love the tea towel....happy week love Ria x
Wonderful time together with your siblings! The candy looks wonderful!
Do all your siblings live in the same community as you?
I think the chocolates look yummy! Do you have a favorite chocolate?
Have a great week,
How nice to live close and get to be together to celebrate fun times. Love that kitchen towel and all of the pretty things. You'll treasure them, I know! Hugs, Diane
There really is nothing like brothers and sisters...I don't think I would have survived without mine.
Sounds like you had a lovely time...and you got some lovely gifts.
What a lovely time meriting your brother and sisters ❤
The presents are very thoughtful
Happy belated birthday!
Oh, I always wanted siblings, especially a brother. What fun to be able to hang out with them, Sheri!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is exactly how I feel when I'm with my 7 siblings. It doesn't happen often enough!
Wonderful gifts! And what a blessing to share it with the ones you love. Love the story that an old book can tell...not only the print but the journey the book has made...Where has it been? Who has owned it? And best of all where is it going?
Oh Sheri those are great gifts. I love getting chocolates! I have two brothers and two great sis in laws and we get together off and on all yr round. I love it too. By the way, thanks to you posting about writing in your journal had me thinking that I needed to give that a try again. My mom has been sharing bits and pieces of her growing up and the family. I try to remember all that and I am NO good at that so I have decided that writing it down in a journal is the best way for me to keep up with what she has shared with me. Thank you for planting that thought in my head.
Ah chocolate and roses of all forms so delicious.
A family like this is a treasure.
All the gifts which you got look good. You must had a wonderful time:)
What a charming kitchen towel. and equally delightful cookbook. those chocolates are scrumptious i know. how wonderful to visit with your siblings like this. I'm glad you had a nice time.
Just lovely ...
All the best Jan
Sweet post, Sheri. I sure hope I wished you a Happy Birthday. Did I? If not, here's to your new year of life! Hear, Hear. Hugs. Susan
Sounds and looks like a very special birthday. Happy Birthday to you.

Suggested tasks/questions for this sub section
Decide on values based on the situation and people at hand. In some problem settings, there will be some values that are more important to maintain or introduce than others values.
In order to decide the important values ask yourself: What is the purpose and function of the new system? What is the ideal future state and why?
Examples of values
- Equity
- Efficiency (how fast and at what price?)
- Impact
- Accountability
- Life work balance
- Sustainability
- Personal growth
- Freedom (religious freedom)
- Happiness

How can we verify ethical judgments
- Ask yourself what worldview ought to be determining? What different visions of "improvement" should be considered, and how should they be reconciled?
- Find some means to converse, compare, prioritize, and justly act to reconcile the conflicting ethics of parties.
- Have we considered the values that protect against exploitation of the weaker by the stronger?
- What about published professional codes of ethics, such as ASPA, ICMA, AICP, NASW, NSPE.
- Double check that the values are something that all stakeholders can agree on.

Advanced topics
Further reading for intermediate problem solvers:
This section helps us to debate moral and ethical aspects of what should be valued. Not all aspects of a situation can easily be measured. Things such as happiness are important for humans, but deciding on solutions that improves wellbeing is difficult and highly subjective. A specific source of happiness for one person might be seen as more valuable to the common good than some other source of happiness.
In order to come up with good solutions we must establish an ethical framework that guides our decisions. What are good and bad solutions? This will eventually be decided based on our ethical and moral standpoints.
This section helps us to surface and decide on the most important values that we should keep in mind when designing solutions. The list of values also helps us to narrow down the solution space as well as to decide on indicators to measure.
Articulating values provides us with guiding lights, ways of choosing among competing priorities and guidelines for how people should work together.
Suggested reading
What are some values to guide us when thinking about solutions to the problem?
Add new value
- Describe the value and why it is important for our challenge.
- Formulate values for a social community/aggregate/systemic context. Don't use values that you would only use in a person to person context.
- Add one value statement at a time so they can be voted on individually.
Suggested tasks/questions for this sub section
Based on the values in the previous step, formulate a vision statement.
- If you had unlimited resources and total control of the situation, what would the transformed situation look like?
- Describe the ideal situation that compels action toward a desirable outcome.
- Where do we want to end up?
- What would a perfect, harmonious and sustainable situation look like?
- What do you want the world to be like?
If you are in a co-located team you may use design artifacts such as drawings to reflect alternative futures in ways that stimulate stakeholder imagination and new ideas.

Advanced topics
Further reading for intermediate problem solvers:
The vision statement describes how we want the world to be.
It is a picture of the world we seek to create.
The vision statement defines the purpose of this challenge, in terms of values. The vision gives direction and inspires.
The vision also acts as a reminder of where we actually want to go. Focusing too heavily on (the problem) "what is", rather than "what could be" may create solutions that does not transcend real and perceived barriers. Focusing too narrowly on the problem can also blind us in achieving synergy by that could come from leveraging the power of perspectives and creative thinking.
The vision statement is a powerful tool for motivating participants and inspiring others to join.
Suggested reading
What would be a good vision statement?
Add new vision statement
Write a vision statement using inspiring words.
- Your mission is obviously to solve the problem you are currently viewing.
- Uncover the real, human value in this mission.
- "Paint" a picture of the world you seek to create.
- The vision statement should be big and bold (so it inspires).
- Polish the vision statement until it is inspiring enough to energize and motivate other readers.
The vision statement could start with "We envision a society in which all ..." or "All members of ... have ..." or "We seek a world where ..."
Suggested tasks/questions for this sub section
What ought to be the purpose? That is, what should be the ultimate consequence of solving the problem?
Negotiate a common goal among stakeholders.
Keep in mind that if stakeholders don't agree on the goal you are not likely to succeed.
Frame the goal positively. For example "Elimination of poverty" is a negative goal. Negative goals are usually an attempt to remove an obstacle. Instead try to formulate a more motivating, desirable and collectively sharable positive goal. A goal such as "Economic self-determination" is a goal that includes but also significantly transcends poverty elimination.

Now that we have a goal we can begin to formulate a target to aim for.
This section can be seen as a way to decide on the target number.
When setting out to change the future we need a guiding star that anyone can agree on and work towards. This needs to be a measuable number so there is no confusion or misunderstanding about when this target is actually reached.
Having a defined target in the form of a single number (upper or lower level of some variable) helps us to communicate our intent in a clear and precise manner.
The target is not on a detailed operational level but rather an ambition or level to aim for.

In this sub section we create a summary system diagram for clarity. Creating clarity is important in order to be able to communicate, make sense of and eventually to make decisions on what to do about the problem.
This diagram only has the elements that are most relevant to focus on.
This can only be made after we have decided on scope, values, and have understood the important root causes to target etc.

How can the root causes be resolved?
Some of these root causes are likely to be more influential than others. You may want to focus on the most prominent.

Advanced topics
Further reading for intermediate problem solvers:
A feedback loop that is primarily responsible for the behavior of the system over time is known as a dominant loop. It is essential to identify dominant loops in a system in order to select entry points for intervention.
Resolving loops are the feedback loops (see Causal Loop Diagrams) that should be dominant in order to resolve the root causes.
In this sub section we identify and discuss resolving loops.
Suggested reading
What are the loops that should be dominant to solve the root causes?
No resolving loops added. Add content and receive points.
Add new resolving loop
Describe how this feedback loop will actually break or subvert the current vicious loops.
Suggested tasks/questions for this sub section
The task now is to identify the most effective levers for change.
In order to identify the main levers we need to find and understand the relevant variables. Creating the resolving loops usually require a coordinated multi-action approach. In order to find a good repertoire of action strategies we need to look at what can influence the resolving loop(s)?
To do this you may go through the variables (circles/nouns) in the CLD that are directly involved with the resolving loop and ask how influential it is and how influenced it is by other variables.
For a more rigorous process you might assess the strength of these variables by characterizing key variables as active, passive, critical or inert.
- Active variable. Strong influences on other variables. Little influenced by other variables.
- Passive variable. Little influences on other variables. Strong influenced by other variables.
- Critical variable. Strong influences on other variables. Strong influenced by other variables.
- Inert variable. Little influences on other variables. Little influenced by other variables.

Advanced topics
Further reading for intermediate problem solvers:
Now that we have a fairly good understanding about the causes and what feedback loops could put the system into a more optimal state we need to figure out what can be done to make the resolving loop become dominant.
The high leverage points are areas that have the best potential for lasting effect. These are places within the complex system where a relatively small shift in one thing can produce big changes.
While the resolving loops are the needed system feedback mechanisms to resolve the problem, the leverage points should be understood as the most effective actions that will create the resolving conditions.
Suggested reading
No items added. Suggest a book, or online resource?
What are the high leverage points that will make the resolving loops become dominant?
No leverage points added. Add content and receive points.
Add new leverage point
The leverage point should be an action that will have high positive impact relative to the cost of implementing the change. The action should not be a concrete call to action but rather a strategy or way ahead.
- Describe why this action has more potential impact.
- Refer to the causal loop diagrams, system diagrams and other parts of the analysis.
- Make a note about what leverage points decision makers can influence. What level of power and mandate is required for this leverage point?
Suggested tasks/questions for this sub section
Decide what metrics to use. How should we measure progress?
Several metrics are needed to make sure solutions cover all important aspects, so to maximize the benefit for all affected parties now and in the long run.
To do this we need to measure variables on different aspects that together constitute a holistic framework for assessing solutions.
To find relevant metrics you may ask stakeholders the following questions?
- What are we trying to achieve?
- What are we trying to preserve?
- What are we trying to avoid?
- What are we trying to eliminate?
- What ought to be measure of improvements? How can we determine if the solution constitutes an improvement for all?
Combine these answers with the list of values and compile a list of metrics.
Watch out for
Advanced topics
Further reading for intermediate problem solvers:
This sub section helps us to decide on the metrics that should be used for evaluating solutions.
A metric here is some relevant variable that should be measured.
Metrics are different from the indicators. Indicators are used to track the extent of the problem. Usually there are only one or a few indicators. The indicators usually have a too high or too low value, and this IS the problem.
Metrics are also different from targets. The target is the main overarching goal of the challenge. The metrics are secondary to the target but the combination of metrics is still just as important.
Metrics are used on a deeper operational level while the target is mostly used on a superficial level to communicate the progress of solving problem.
When solving the problem we cannot just fix the key indicator or make sure the target is reached. We must also take into account other important variables/aspects to make sure the system is balanced, fair and sustainable. (to avoid bad side effects)
Reducing one variable will usually increase another and vice versa. Solutions must see to that all relevant variables remain within acceptable thresholds.

- What are the things that have to be maintained?
- What are the things that cannot be compromised?
- What has to be fulfilled?
- What must be included (or excluded)?
- What requirements can be formulated based on the values in the previous sections?
Watch out for
Advanced topics
Further reading for intermediate problem solvers:
The requirements are things that have to be satisfied by any solution to the problem.
A requirement describes a feature, property, behavior or characteristic that simply has to be fulfilled.
In many cases there are constraints that should not or cannot be avoided so we add them as a requirement.
A benefit of requirements is that they steer the design of solutions. In doing so they reduce the solution space and makes the search for solutions faster.
In the implementation phase of solutions we use the requirements to verify and demonstrate that the system design is "correct" with respect to the requirements.

- Make sure the requirements are concrete enough that it can be tested/measured/validated.
- At this stage requirements should not be very detailed. Change projects also have requirements specifications and these are much more concrete and detailed.
- You may want to include something about target values and tolerance for measurements of the requirement.
- A requirement should be: adequate, internally consistent, unambiguous, complete, satisfied, and minimal.
- A good requirement is: usable, communicable, evolvable and based on analysis.

I have been Google Map user since my first Android phone in 2010. Google Maps navigation was not supported in India.
Generally I don't need maps in Pune . But today I was in Somawar Peth area somewhere & opened map to get a route to office. Surprisingly navigation button was active.
I used it get a route to Kalyani Nagar. Audio directions were pretty accurate.
Impressive overall app.
If you don't follow directions it recalculates route
Liked it.

9 thoughts on "The Obama Attacks Continue"
This can be solved quite simply. If Orly Taitz and all others who are sooooo unhappy w/ Prez Obama would just leave this country for the next 4yrs while he's in office, then we can have somewhat of a peaceful nation while you're gone. Gone on elsewhere to another country if you are so unhappy w/ who the PEOPLE have elected to be in charge. You dont have to like him, but you shd respect him! jussayin.dotcom
I agree with all three of the posters above. With all the uproar about invading terrorists and "attacks on America", the biggest threat to this country is and has always been the hatred-filled racists and greedy war mongers within.
I hope so @Ivan, I hope so!
If those who write the American history and political science books want to keep it real, they'll chronicle incidents like this coming from the Orly Taitz's who have proven themselves to be sore losers. Countries all over the world are watching how President Obama has been treated since he took office. They see the Americans for they are two-faced and speaking with forked tongues.
I aquiesce to Mr. Cohen's words. Other Countries see how American's spend so much time with
sanctimonious trivia as opposed to moving America forward with the many real issues we face each
day. The respect that this Country had twenty(20) years ago is waning!
As to the axiom "We want our Country back?!" …..it does not dignify a response

Focus the sun's energy on one point with a magnifier.
Test different materials to see if they can ignite. Do not stare at the focused spot of light for long - it will hurt your eyes.
(Dried grass ignites but printer paper does not.)
The magnifier focuses the sun's energy to a point, which is hot enough to ignite things that are really thin and dry.

I went to a school at Veera Desai Road for the orientation program of Teach India. When I reached the classroom where the volunteers were sitting I was shocked. I had no idea that so many people would actually come. It was overwhelming to see people from different age groups and background all gathered together to make this world a better place. My interest to be a part of this movement got strenghthened.
We waited for a little while before the representatives from the different NGOs started making presentations about their organisation. In fact, there were 3. After the presentations were made I chose to meet Ms. Anjali Hari from Katalyst as I found their requirement for volunteers was matching with my skill set.
There was a huge queue of excited youngsters to be part of her NGO, therefore, I had to wait for more than half an hour to have a word with her. People pushed me from one side to another, just to have a word with her, and I was testing my own patience while waiting to talk to her. I did manage to speak with her and briefly mentioned to her about the kind of training I do. She made a note of my contact details and said that she would get back to me.
That's how the day ended. On my way back, I thought that there should be more and more initiatives like this to spread education and reiterate the importance of teachers in our lives. Though I am a corporate trainer by profession, which is my source of livelihood, the pleasure and satisfaction that I will gain from being associated with Teach India will be immeasurable.

Oh, the stories the Lewis and Clark Commemorative Silver Dollar coin can tell.
After departing on their journey on May 14, 1804, they returned just under two-and-a-half years later on September 23, 1806 — 208 years ago.
Let's peek at their notes on the days around their return:
September 20, 1806 ( Camped at LaCharette ("Charriton"), Warren County Missouri, which the party passed on May 25, 1804.)
"as three of the party was unabled to row from the State of their eyes we found it necessary to leave one of our crafts and divide the men into the other Canoes, we left the two Canoes lashed together which I had made high up the River Rochejhone, … we met a perogue with 5 french men bound to the Osarge Gd. village. …
"we saw some cows on the bank which was a joyfull Sight to the party and caused a Shout to be raised for joy at … we came in Sight of the little french Village called Charriton (Charrette) the men raised a Shout and Sprung upon their ores and we soon landed opposit to the Village. our party requested to be permited to fire off their Guns which was alowed & they discharged 3 rounds with a harty cheer, which was returned from five tradeing boats which lay opposit the village. we landed and were very politely received by two young Scotch men from Canada … all of those boats were bound to the Osage and Ottoes. those two young Scotch gentlemen furnished us with Beef flower and some pork for our men … we purchased of a citizen two gallons of Whiskey for our party for which we were obliged to give Eight dollars in Cash, an imposition on the part of the citizen. every person, both French and americans seem to express great pleasure at our return, and acknowledged themselves much astonished in seeing us return. they informed us that we were supposed to have been lost long since, and were entirely given out by every person &c. … the American inhabitants express great disgust for the govermt. of this Teritory."
September 21, 1806
(Camped at St. Charles, Missouri) "colected our men several of them had axcepted of the invitation of the citizens and visited their families. … passed 12 canoes of Kickapoos assending on a hunting expedition. Saw Several persons also stock of different kind on the bank which reviv'd the party very much. at 3 P M we met two large boats assending. at 4 P M we arived in Iight of St. Charles, the party rejoiced at the Sight of this hospita[b]l[e] village plyed thear ores with great dexterity and we Soon arived opposit the Town … we saluted the Village by three rounds from our blunderbuts and the Small arms of the party, and landed near the lower part of the town. we were met by great numbers of the inhabitants, … the inhabitants of this village appear much delighted at our return and seem to vie with each other in their politeness to us all."
September 22, 1806
"this morning being wet and the rain still continuing hard, and our party being all sheltered in the houses of those hospitable people, we do not think proper on until after the rain was over. At 10 am it ceased raining and we collected our party and set out and proceeded on down the cantonment at Coldwater Creek, about 3 miles up the Missouri on its southern banks. We were honored with a salute of guns and harty welcom."
September 23, 1806
"we rose early took the Chief to the publick store & furnished him with Some clothes &c. … decended to the Mississippi and down that river to St. Louis at which place we arived about 12 oClock. we Suffered the party to fire off their pieces as a Salute to the Town. we were met by all the village and received a harty welcom from it's inhabitants."
September 24, 1806
"I slept but little last night. We rose early and commenced writing our letters. Capt Lewis wrote to the President and I wrote Governor Harrison and my friends in Kentucky."
September 25, 1806
" payed some visits of form to the gentlemen of St. Louis. in the evening a dinner and ball."
September 26, 1806
"we commenced wrighting."
Now, just imagine, as they approached St. Louis, a frontiersman or more probably looked out at the Mississippi River to watch their arrival.
The Lewis and Clark Commemorative Silver Dollar coin rests on a background of a modern-day frontiersman re-enactor.

Recently a young Oblate priest, Fr. Jesse Esqueda, O.M.I. who works in Tijuana, Mexico experienced a great loss when his mother passed away. Father Jesse had been very close to his mother. Thankfully, though, he had the gift of prayer to help him through the difficult time. When we struggle to understand trying moments like this, we must turn to God to heal our broken hearts. Father Jesse wrote about his loss on his personal Facebook page:
"My mother passed away peacefully this morning as we held her hand and prayed with her. Mama, no other person has had greater influence in my life than you! Your example of courage, generosity and audacious faith made me the man that I am today. Everything that I am today is thanks to you! My heart is heavy with sadness because of your departure; at the same time, I am filled with profound gratitude because God gave me the most amazing woman for my mother. Your love, words and memories will be with me forever. Until we meet again in the Father's house."
I ask that you pray for Fr. Jesse as he struggles through this challenging time. In return, we would be honored to comfort your loved ones with prayer as they struggle through their own difficult times.
Thank you for sharing God's comfort, love and peace with those who are grieving. Please know that my brother Oblates and I continue to pray for you at Mass and in our prayers.
The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate will remember you and your loved ones in prayer. Send your petitions in to be remembered in Mass
Have the name of a deceased loved one placed on the Missionary Oblates' Sympathy Prayer Chain. They will be remembered in prayer by Oblates and friends around the world.
A votive Candle will be lit in memory of the departed loved one. The deceased will also be remembered in Masses at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows. In addition, Oblates at our three retirement communities (Belleville, Illinois; San Antonio, Texas; and Tewksbury, Massachusetts) will pray for the deceased at Mass.

I have just this week completed eight 5x7 inch sketch cards(the biggest sketch card size I have ever worked on!) for Breygent Marketing and the Comic Con in San Diego next month. Boy, I wish I could go too. ;)
They've been fun to do, but I freely admit I'm not an accomplished comic artist.
I used watercolours, acrylic and pen for these cards.
I find the card stock tolerates watercolour, but tends to mute the colours somewhat, unless I use layers of colour. But then the surface breaks down a little if you use too much water.
Colour pencils struggle on this surface. The colours look very muted, though if you are after a softer look, then they're fine. I'm still finding ways to work with Breygent's card stock. It's pretty versatile.
Coloured ink pens are probably best if you are wanting to create vibrant coloured artwork, but I don't feel as confident using those yet- harder to correct mistakes!

The other night I made some charcoal steaks on the grill. I had never made this particular type of steak before but they looked good and I was surprised at how cheap there were, about 3 dollars. The interwebz tells me that charcoal steak is chuck arm steak and like most inexpensive cuts of meat just needs a little TLC to taste fabulous.
Charcoal Steaks on the Grill4 Jun
Shrimp and Pasta in White Wine Sauce15 Apr
So tomorrow I am running the Race to Wrigley 5K. I registered for this race back in the beginning of January when I was running several days a week. Since then, things have become even more crazy busy and my workout schedule has been…sporadic. Here is a tasty recipe that offers some carbs and lean protein alongside some veggies.
Sunday Nite Pork Chops27 Mar
Thank goodness for Sunday. It has been a particularly busy week for Mike and I with tons of work, interviews, conferences, travel and an annoying case of tonsilitis. I spent most of the day today getting caught up on house stuff, work stuff, laundry, cleaning, etc and, of course, making dinner.
I marinated these pork chops in lite soy sauce, Worcestershire, lime juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and honey for a few hours. Put them in an egg wash then dredged them in a panko crumb/corn meal coating. I browned them on each side in a skillet with a little bit of EVOO.
Cornmeal Breaded White Fish with Broccoli and Rice18 Mar
Yesterday for St. Patrick's Day, since I had already made corned beef and cabbage, I decided to make a version of one of our other favorite meals inspired by Ireland- fish and chips. But, instead of chips I made some brown rice.
When we were sofa shopping last month we came across this little blackboard at one of the furniture stores. I thought it would be so cute to write menu's on!
Shrimp and Crab Fettucine in Cream Sauce8 Mar
Here is a quick, healthy weeknight dinner recipe. I am trying to incorporate more seafood/fish into my diet which can be expensive but this recipe uses a can of crab meat (cheap!) and just a few frozen shrimp.
Time saver- cook your pasta (I used spinach fettucine) until it is about 70 percent done, then add broccoli.
Tilapia, Brown Rice and Broccoli3 Mar
Another quick weeknight dinner: Tilapia fillets lightly breaded, steamed broccoli with lemon juice and grated parm, and brown rice. One of my healthy eating goals is to eat more fish and seafood. So far, so good.
Quick Asian Soup17 Feb
Here is a quick Asian inspired soup full of veggies that is perfect for a weeknight…

Hello Tony & Missy, Thanks so much for the package of goodies in the Peace Pak. It helped a lot and the thoughts boosted my spirits. All is well and I am on the mend. Much Thanks ~ Bob Martin

|Frequently Asked Questions
Financial Considerations
Can I buy just a single seat on a flight?
What forms of payment do you accept?
Is there a cancellation fee if the flight doesn't happen?
My group has chartered the aircraft - how far in advance do I pay for it?
Flight Information
When should I book the flight?
If you are chartering the aircraft for a group visit, the flight must be booked through Parks Canada. For any given visitor season there are a limited number of travel dates available, so be sure and get your request in promptly at the start of the new year. Dates will not be assigned prior to Jan 1 of the year in which the flight is to occur.
How many people can the aircraft carry?
Is there a total weight limit for the flight?
When do we depart from Halifax?
How long can we stay on the island?
How long will it take to fly to Sable?
Are flights delayed very often?
What time of the year tends to have the least number of delays?
Trip Details
What should I wear for my day on Sable Island?
Although you may want clothes for sunny weather, even in summer it can often turn cool on the island, so be sure and take a windbreaker and warm sweater. Comfortable footwear is essential, as you will most likely be walking many miles in soft sand. Due to debris hidden in the sand, flip-flops and similar footwear are not recommended. For sunny summer days, along with your sunglasses, be certain to wear a hat that will provide adequate sun protection - there are no trees, therefore no shade, on Sable Island. In late fall and early spring, your clothes will need to be warmer than you might expect - the wind and high humidity make Sable weather feel cooler than the numbers would seem to indicate. Conditions in winter can be quite harsh, with strong winds blowing not only snow, but also sand and freezing spray around - warm clothing, including gloves and a hat, are absolute necessities.
What should I take with me on my day trip?
Can I drink the water on Sable or should I bring my own?
Is there cell phone coverage on the island?
Are there any vehicles, such as ATVs, available to rent so I can tour around the island?
At present, other than certain groups such as researchers, documentary film crews, etc that have been granted special permission, no overnight stays are allowed.

Recipe Flash: Fried Egg Sandwich with Red Onion Jam
I discovered Merrill's Red Onion Jam on Food52 a few months ago and have been making it pretty much bi-weekly ever since. I've used it to top these little Smoked Mozzarella Tartlettes, sweeten up a savory Turkey Melt, and if there's just a little bit left in the jar, I've successfully found a home for it on my morning toast. One Saturday I was particularly hungry (and particularly hungover), so I decided to incorporate the jam into my favorite Fried Egg Sandwich. The combination was a revelation, and even though it is hard to call the instructions below a recipe, I had to share this creation with you. Warning: make enough jam to last you the week, as you will want to eat this sandwich every single day.
From my kitchen, albeit small, to yours,
Phoebe, THE QUARTER-LIFE COOK
For the sandwich:
2 slices of good white or wheat bread
1 egg
olive oil
For the jam:
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup red wine
1 tablespoons red wine vinegar
To make the jam:
Combine the onion, butter, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan with a lid. Saute over medium-low heat, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover, add the wine and vinegar and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring slightly more frequently, until there is no liquid left and the onions are soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Let the jam come to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
For the sandwich:
Toast the bread until golden brown and crispy. Spread one side of each slice with a generous amount of red onion jam.
Generously coat a small skillet with olive oil. Let the oil get nice and hot–flick a little water that the surface and if it spatters, you are ready to roll.
Crack the egg in the pan and immediately rotate so the whites are evenly distributed and some of the olive oil envelops the egg. Allow egg to fry in the oil (beware, this may splatter). When the edges have begun to crisp up, but the top is still slightly under cooked, tilt the pan, and with a spoon, douse the top of the egg with the hot olive oil collecting in the corner. Once the whole egg is cooked and crispy, carefully remove from the pan to one of the pieces of bread. Top with the other slice.

In Azizian v. Wilkinson, case no. 05-15847 (August 23, 2007), the Ninth Circuit faced, for the first time, an issue on which other circuits have split: "whether, or under what circumstances, appellate attorney's fees are 'costs on appeal' that a district court may require an appellant to secure in a bond ordered under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 7." It provides its conclusion at the outset of the opinion:
We conclude that a district court may require an appellant to secure appellate attorney's fees in a Rule 7 bond, but only if an applicable fee-shifting statute includes them in its definition of recoverable costs, and only if the appellee is eligible to recover such fees.
Appellant Wilkinson is a class member who objected to the class action settlement approved by the district court between the certified class of consumers and a number of retail stores accused of antitrust violations with respect to cosmetics. She appealed from the order approving the settlement.
Plaintiffs sought a bond under FRAP 7 of nearly $13 million, which included a $600,000 component for twice the plaintiffs' anticipated attorney fees on appeal. FRAP 7 provides that the district court "may require an appellant to file a bond or provide other security in any form and amount necessary to ensure payment of costs on appeal."
The district court ordered a bond of only $42,000, but it included a $40,000 appellate attorney fee component. It reasoned that appellate attorney fees could be considered "costs" on appeal because: "(1) the fee-shifting provision in Section 4 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 15, defines attorney's fees as among the costs recoverable, and (2) 'the Court of Appeals [was] likely to find that the instant ppeal[ ] [was] frivolous.'"
Regarding the district court's first justification, the court goes through a very detailed analysis of the cases from other circuits, then states that "[w]e agree with the Second, Sixth, and Eleventh Circuits and hold that the term 'costs on appeal' in Rule 7 includes all expenses defined as 'costs' by an applicable fee-shifting statute, including attorney's fees." The court gave four reasons for its holding:

Artist: WHITE BOY & THE AVERAGE RAT BAND
Title: s/t
Format: LP
Label: Roach
Country: USA
Price: $18.00
"Reish of heavy & fuzzed out Acid Archive proto metal jammer that will satisfy Heshers & Rockers alike. Word has always been this masterpiece is the work of a lone duder from Virginia yet cover has 4 bad asses spoiling for a rager. Sure sounds like a one man frenzy, but who knows for sure? Kenneth Higney gets some Schenker chops & becomes a fixture at Lamour where he functions as gangbang meat for Meanstreak. Yeah! How could you not be fucking stoked?" - Roach.
"This is stretching the limits of the Archives here -- its a 1980s and sounds much closer to the kind of post-punk hard rock that got college airplay in the late 80s than it does like anything else reviewed on this website. That said, its speedy not-quite-metal hard rock with a pulverizing distortion sound (to call it fuzz guitar is to understate it by a mile). One song is acoustic, but mostly this is just in-your-face blitzkrieg, and its really great." - Aaron Milenski, Acid Archives.
"My eyes did a double take when I see this record perched in my mail trap (theys aint got no word here for box nears I can tell). Good lord I was happy, only cause Id been lookin for a copy since Robin Yount was a five figure Brewer. The writeup that Roach Records put togther kindve says it all, cept I aint got a damn clue whats Lamour is (or was) ors this Meanstreak theys reference. I guess Ill have to get to investigatinem! Wouldnt wanna miss out. Some nimble-toed piker once tried to tell me this was the same band as Mr. Ott & Jake Whip had but Id knowed that was a sack of shit n told him about it.He made a mess in his drawers what stunk up the bar to high heaven, but at least hes still around to deny it. The real word is the band aint but one feller & he hired them others on the front to look all tough. It sorta works. Takes me back to some dumbshits what tried to tangle w/yours truly in Parkersburg, WV in the early 80s. None ofem even seen the blade theys surrendered to, let alone feel it. Ah, youth, to be wasted so young. Feel free to quote me on that. So White Boy & The Average Rat Band.....hard to say exactly where theys (or he) was comin from but know this; when it wants to, this lp is as wild as a peach orchard hog. Theres also some screwy ballads goin on (Oriental Doctors, wow! Too bad Tommy Bolin aint around to here THAT one) + an outta nowhere acoustic number too. Locked into some current thats more metal than punk, it aint no joke, as funny as it may seem at times. In other words, Nig Heist it is not. Im hip to the Kenneth Higney reference too, and Michael Schenker. It woulda been cool if Kennyd aped Scorpions more than Cat Stevens, but he didnt & behold wes got both Attic Demonstration AND this here White Boy lp. Hows are any of us worse off for that? The best of both. Now if only that Higney lp would get rereleased...." - Roland Woodbe, Siltblog. Not related to White Boy on Doodley Squat. Highly recommended!

When Matthew Keading and Jackson Taylor meet up to play an innocent game of pool, things get a bit risqué. Talk of Prince Harry's scandalous game of strip pool leads Matthew to suggest they play a round themselves. Jackson is first to lose his shirt and Matthew takes serious notice of his killer body. The two have been friends for a couple years, but Matthew's never seen Jackson looking so toned, tanned, and tempting! Soon they're both down to underwear and Matthew's becoming a bit chubby in his boxers. Jackson takes it as a cue to make a grab and come in for a smooch. Sure enough, Matthew's ready to have himself a nice piece of his gorgeous pal. While Matthew sits on the pool table, Jackson sucks his hard cock, enjoying its girth and firmness. Matthew can't believe how good Jackson's mouth feels. But he wants a taste of Jackson's meat too. After some nice, intense slurping, the boys 69 on the pool table. Jackson loves the way Matthew's soft balls feel on his face while taking his erect dick deep. Then comes time for Matthew to experience Jackson's tight hole. Watch these two fuck with true passion when this pool game explodes with sweet sensuousness. Watch and download full-length video after the jump…

Another interesting variation to using copper pipe pieces for loom components.
I've also made a beading loom using the copper pipe--here's my beading loom:
The nice thing about using copper pipe is that it's easy to find, not too terribly expensive, easy to cut with an inexpensive pipe cutter and looms can be made in a short time. I have about 15 of the small frames for tapestry now.

(Now, we realize that a lot of you might have other plans on Mothers' Day. However, it was the only date when all our organizers could make it that didn't coincide with EBC's women-and-transgendered-only days for May. So we are choosing a route that will allow people to easily meet up with us late or leave us early, so they can hopefully work around their brunch or dinner plans for the day. We also encourage you to bring your mom along. If you want.)
So here is the route:
1ish - Angel and I will be possibly meeting for lunch at a nearby restaurant beforehand, then starting off from Century Park LRT Station. That's right, this is going to be a bicycles-on-transit adventure for us! We figure the new-ish South Light Rail Transit extension hasn't been seen much on the local bike blogs (which are mostly written by core-dwellers), so we should show it some love. LRT is an easy way to extend your bicycle explorations, and the rules & usage hours are all commonsense.
1:15 to 1:30pm - We will be hanging out on the platform at McKernan / Belgravia Station, where we expect those who live in the neighborhoods around the U of A to meet up with us.
1:45 to 2:15pm - Having taken the LRT to Churchill Station, we will meet on the steps of City Hall where we'll catch up with our north-side friends, have a nice chat and use some of the brilliant architecture (Art Gallery of Alberta, anyone?) surrounding Churchill Square as the backdrop for some sweet photos.
2:15 to 3:15pm - We'll ride via 102nd Ave to the 4th Street Promenade, where we'll grab coffee at Credo or wine at deVine, browse the gorgeous green goods at Carbon Environmental Boutique, swoon over the fabulous furnishings at 29 Armstrong and fresh frocks at Coup, and/or partake of the pastries at Queen of Tarts. Yeah baby! The Promenade is also notable for its architecture, as per the website of the City Market:
In addition to the variety of shops and restaurants, make sure to check out the architecture of the many buildings that line 104th Street. There are currently nine "A" level heritage buildings on the 104th Street promenade, including the prestigious Birks Building on the east corner of 104th Street and Jasper Avenue (built 1929) and the Phillips Building (10169-104 Street), which was built in 1912 as one of the first completely fireproof buildings in Edmonton.Anyone who needs to leave at this point can catch the LRT at nearby Bay Station.
3:15 to 4:30pm - We'll head for the Ledge grounds then over the High Level Bridge, some of us will no doubt split off to head home via Saskatchewan Drive, and the rest of us will head through the University grounds to Health Sciences / Jubilee Station, from whence we'll all set off for home.
We'd also like to extend an invitation to our male friends, since some of you have said you'd like to bring certain gorgeous, droolworthy vintage bicycles and join us on our Loopy Ride... Please do! Just expect to be outnumbered, for a change, and wear something you'd like to be photographed in. ;-)
Oh, and preview: for Bike Month we're thinking that We Believe In 118...

His agency MMO Entertainment said, "Son Ho Young will release his second mini album on May 23 at midnight and come back to his fans. As he prepared for this album for a long time, the mass public can check out his true charms."
His comeback is more special as this year is his 10th anniversary of solo debut and it took five years for him to bring another mini album.
Son Ho Young proved his existence as a solo artist, not as a member of god as he released various albums. In particular, he received many awards as a solo, so the mass public is anticipating for the new album.
Meanwhile, Son Ho Young will release his solo album on May 23 at midnight. (photo by MMO Entertainment)

Replacement of centova cast control panel
Budget £1500-3000 GBP
We are currently using an outdated third party system called Centova from [login to view URL]
We require a new professional internet radio hosting/streaming control panel to run via Centos with a easy to use and clean, mobile responsive GUI and also to run in conjunction with Icecast/Shoutcast servers. The end user will be us (the hosting company who manages accounts) and also the broadcasters (radio stations from across the world looking to broadcast live online to their audience with ease)
The system must allow us to create accounts manually and set up new clients on the system with ease.
It must allow us to set limits for each customer such as bitrate, storage space, number of maximum listeners, and bandwidth. It will also need to send 'welcome emails' which we can edit automatically to be sent to our customers which include login details, instructions on how to use etc.
The end user will require a web based virtual studio type interface to carry out their broadcast/stream.
The end user (broadcaster) requires ease of use so that a first time novice can use the system and stat broadcasting in minutes.
The accounts will need to have a clear drag and drop interface to upload music, create playlists, and have the system broadcast their music in real time via a general rotation, scheduled, or interval playlist type. They will also need to be able to select tracks to play in real time e.g. click a song and then click 'play now' or 'add to queue. This is also known as autoDJ and will require Google Calendar type scheduling system where the tracks are dragged and dropped into a playlist for the minute, day, week and/or month. Weekly, daily, and monthly repeat/play only once settings are also required. This could cover the user to play set shows at certain times, play general music 24/7, and add ads/jingles at intervals. They must be able to schedule and automate their shows with great flexibility. For this feature the mp3s would be stored locally on the server where the control panel is installed.
It must also support album artwork preferably by sourcing it from the id3 tag of the uploaded mp3 file, or by allowing the user to assign artwork to uploaded mp3s.
The user will also need to have the feature to talk over the music live via the web interface by having a 'push to talk' microphone button whereby the music is faded giving room to the broadcaster to talk live to their audience via their computer microphone.
Broadcasters will require the option to add extra 'DJs' to their own station/account providing them with a login which includes more limited (non admin) features with a purpose to allow DJs from different locations carry out live shows as and where required.
The end users will also need full Reporting and analytics data for their listeners. This will be required in real time. For example 'current listeners, countries of current listeners, total number of listeners etc'. They will also need full monthly historical reports on the listeners such as all songs played, and the total number of listening hours for the month' to cover royalty/copyright reporting.
Each user must also have access to their own clean external automatically generated 'Radio Page' with a built-in microsite with their station logo, station name, mobile compatible html5 player playing the stream, now playing information with album artwork. It must also be mobile compatible and this page will primarily be used by the broadcasters listeners to tune in. The user must also have access to each widget to be able to add to their own website if they have one. For example html5 media player, current song information with album artwork. It must also be easy for us to install across many linux servers. The end users are radio novices who want to start an internet radio station and already developed professional radio stations.
