I promise to copy the pictures from my camera to my laptop before Thursday night, so I can post some pictures. Not that I took a lot. I wish I could promise my husband will do the same (because he did take a lot), and maybe he will. If I bug him. Relentlessly. We'll see.
Anyway, here's what I read this week (still 4 books ahead—whoo hoo!):
Sep 2: "Gypsy" by Patricia A. Ramsey, #3 in the Sons of Sangue series, a paranormal romance at 422 pages. Blurb from book: Grayson "Gypsy" Gabor loves the ladies. As a matter of fact, the more the merrier. Life is good. That is until a mishap with a sexy-as-hell redhead leaves them mated. The eldest of vampires, Vlad Tepes, gives him a choice: keep her or give her up for all eternity to his one-time best friend, Anton. Tamera Cantrell sets her sights on the Vice President of the Sons of Sangue, Gypsy. But after a night gone wrong, she finds herself caught between one vampire who hates her and one who adores her. Now Tamera's only got three short months to prove to the one who despises her that he can't live without her. Add in one Mexican Cartel, a vindictive primordial vampire, and a rival MC out for blood, and Gypsy has his hands full with club business. When Tamera's life becomes endangered, Gypsy must act quick or chance losing her forever. Not my favorite of the series. I had trouble forgiving Tamera (which caused me to knock a star off), although I did enjoy seeing my hometown (
mentioned and there was plenty of suspense to keep me riveted. This series has
an overall story arc which doesn't get resolved in this book, so there's sure
to be more to come. At least the couple's story isn't left hanging, so I'll definitely keep reading. Santa Barbara
Sep 5: "Star Cruise: Marooned" by Veronica Scott, a sci-fi romance at 128 pages. Blurb from Goodreads: Meg Antille works long hours on the charter cruise ship Far Horizon so she can send credits home to her family. Working hard to earn a promotion to a better post (and better pay), Meg has no time for romance. Former Special Forces soldier Red Thomsill only took the berth on the Far Horizon in hopes of getting to know Meg better, but so far she's kept him at a polite distance. A scheduled stopover on the idyllic beach of a nature preserve planet may be his last chance to impress the girl. But when one of the passengers is attacked by a wild animal it becomes clear that conditions on the lushly forested Dantaralon aren't as advertised – the ranger station is deserted, the defensive perimeter is down…and then the Far Horizon's shuttle abruptly leaves without any of them. Marooned on the dangerous outback world, romance is the least of their concerns, and yet Meg and Red cannot help being drawn to each other once they see how well they work together. But can they survive long enough to see their romance through? Or will the wild alien planet defeat them, ending their romance and their lives before anything can really begin? Kind of short, but enjoyable. Not too much techy stuff in it and lots of adventure. Seemed to end abruptly, though, and I would have liked the romance drawn out a little more.
Sep 8: "Drunk on You" by Teri Anne Stanley, a contemporary romance at 198 pages. Blurb from Goodreads: Undiluted desire, served straight up. Justin Morgan would happily drown the pain of his injured leg—and the guilt he brought back from
bourbon. Except, there won't be any booze if he doesn't rescue his family's
century-old distillery from financial ruin. The problem? Allie McGrath—youngest
daughter of the distillery's co-owners, and the one woman he can't have. Allie
has been in love with Justin since…well, she's always been in love with him.
Now he's home, broken up over the death of her brother, and he needs help. She
can fix the distillery—she's sure of it—but no one's taking her or her sweet
new idea seriously. Convincing Justin is her only hope. Allie is more tempting
than Justin expected, threatening a promise he swore he'd never break. If he
can't keep their attraction under control, there's a solid chance they'll send
the whole enterprise crumbling to the ground…if he doesn't crash and burn
first. A sexy and fun read. Got happy tears at the end. Awwww. Afghanistan
So… What did you do while I was gone?

June 17, 2019 - /PressAdvantage/ - Fort McMurray, Alberta based company The A-Team is celebrating the support that has been consistently shown by their community across different review platforms.
The real estate specialists are among the top rated companies in the area, achieving a perfect review score of 5/5 Stars on Google's review platform. They also have a Yelp review page, where they boast a similarly high rating of 4/5 Stars. The company states that they appreciate every piece of feedback given to them by the community, and they incentivize their clients to leave their own opinion of their services. Interested parties may browse the available Yelp reviews and their scores at the following link: https://www.yelp.ca/biz/the-a-team-fort-mcmurray.
Tom Albrecht, who co-founded the company, has led the A-Team ever since it launched in 2014. He has been one of the most important catalysts to the company's success, and is often complimented by clients for his hard work and dedication. They describe him as a good advisor who is honest regarding the different options that are available at any given time. Albrecht spoke about the support that the community has shown towards him and his company, saying, "Every single review is a little part of our story as a company. We value every piece of feedback, advice, or appreciation that our clients take their time to write—as for us, their opinion is the most important. From the very first day, we have put our customers as our first and foremost priority. Now, seeing such a show of support from the community, it is clear that we have set ourselves on the right track, and we couldn't be happier. We are very proud of achieving this landmark, and we will strive to provide a service that exceeds our customer's expectations. We aim to stay faithful to our early principles and, of course, to the community."
The real estate firm invites all prospective clients to read some of their reviews before deciding whether or not to contact them, as they are confident in the kind words that the residents of Fort McMurray and its surrounding areas have written about them. The A-Team's Google's reviews can be found through the following link: https://goo.gl/1gRGY4.
On this review platform, Jennifer Sine wrote, "The A-Team is a fantastic company to hire for selling or buying a home. They are willing to go above and beyond for buyers and sellers, doing as much as they can to help out throughout the process, whether it is by providing simple advice, or pulling some strings to speed up some processes. I am especially thankful to Tom for helping us buy our first home. We bought a newly built house and had a lot of issues throughout the process with the company, but Tom was always available to help guide us in the right direction and help us out. I would definitely recommend them, especially for first-time home buyers who need a little bit more guidance and help."
The A-Team ranks among the top-rated companies in the area, and they have made a reputation for themselves for providing excellent services and helpful guidance throughout the buying and selling process. The company invites the Fort McMurray community to consider the company for their future home buying or selling prospects, urging prospective customers to visit the company's website, where they can familiarize themselves with the A-Team's real estate specialists.
The company understands that one of the most common concerns of homebuyers is their lack of knowledge in the field, which leaves them feeling vulnerable and makes the buying process a miserable proposition—often compounded by the need to get the best value for their hard-earned money. "Real estate might seem difficult at this early stage, but with one of our specialist guiding you, we guarantee that you will be knowledgeable in this matter by the end of the process," states Albrecht.

Today I want do something a little different than my usual blog posts. In the spirit of sharing some love, I wanted to share a collection of artists that inspire me every time I get on Instagram. (Please note that I will be referring to these artists by their Instagram names.)
Her favorite art media is a mixture of pencil and digital, and her drawing subjects are mainly humans. This includes everything from fellow instagrammers to characters from her favorite series at the moment. She inspires me to try to create my own style because whenever you look at her creations you immediately know it's her work.
View this post on Instagram
happy sunday funday, friends! I've got another treat for y'all! today only, all brooches in my shop are 25% off the regular price! no coupon needed! (direct link in my profile) there are so many little cuties to pick from! which one is your favorite? I am forever a member of the hermit crew. 😉❤
This Instagram artist creations are always colorful and very adorable, which are a nice lift-me-up after a long day. Most of her artwork is created with woodcuts and hand painted by her. To say the least, her pun game is out of this world. Jesiiii inspires me to always create artwork that brings a smile to my face.
Not all artists work with paintbrushes, and this lovely is a prime example of that. Her cross stitch game is amazing, and definitely worth looking at if you ever get the chance. I don't think that I will ever be able to get into cross stitching myself, but I have a lot of respect to those who can. Craftinggeek inspires me to be patient on my projects, because the end results will be worth it.
With her main art media being bright watercolors, this Instagrammer creates beautiful artworks of loved characters from a multitude of fandoms. Littlegeekyfanart inspires me want to improve my skills with watercolors to get to this level.
This lovelies artwork is always whimsical. I believe she uses pen to create her artwork, but I might be wrong on that…what's important is that her artwork is another one that stands out for me as fun and adorable that cannot be mistaken when seen. She inspires me to always have fun with my creations.
These beautiful artists are just the tip of the iceberg of all the artists I adore. Pretty much anyone I follow with my Instagram account inspires me. But if you have an Instagram account, I highly suggest checking these five out.
(Please Note that this is just me fangirling and wanting to share some love. I was not asked to create this post.)

Whether you are just now unpacking a new machine or digging one out of the attic, don't miss these tips from a bonafide bread machine lover. I can't wait to share secrets and recipes to help you make many delicious bread memories–the kind your family will talk about and enjoy for years.
Sweet Milk White Bread mixed and kneaded in a bread machine, but baked in a conventional oven.
If Santa brought you a bread machine, you might be wondering where to start.
You could read the manual. (Just kidding! Who has time for that?)
Once you unpack and wash all the parts, here are a few recommendations you may or may not find in the manual.
6 Bread-Machine Secrets Especially for Beginning Bread-Bakers
Start simple.
- (If you are already an experienced bread-maker, skip this one.) If you have never made bread before, use a bread machine mix from the grocery store and observe the consistency of the dough in various stages.
- Begin with a simple recipe like pizza dough. It's my favorite, and it's almost fool-proof. Try focaccia with it, too.
Be cautious about substitutions.
In the beginning, try to follow the ingredient list as carefully as possible to maximize your chances of success.
- Substituting whole wheat flour for white or even all-purpose flour for bread flour is not necessarily a 1-to-1 proposition. Different flours absorb different amounts of moisture and have varying amounts of gluten.
- All yeast is not the same. Don't substitute regular yeast for instant or bread machine yeast. Each type must be handled differently. As you get experience, you will learn how to use either type of yeast in any given recipe.
Don't be afraid to open the lid.
Take a peek 5-10 minutes into the mixing process. I cannot stress this enough to avoid inedible surprises!!!
- If nothing is happening, the blade may not be present or engaged. Many times I have had to plunge my freshly washed index finger through the unmixed ingredients to push it down into the proper position so it could do its job. I've even forgotten to install the blade before adding ingredients to the pan.
- If the dough is too moist, it will level out like a thick soup. Add flour one tablespoon at a time until it makes a tacky ball that touches the wall of the pan and then pulls away.
- If the dough is too dry, it will form a ball that doesn't touch the sides or may slap loudly against the side of the pan. (If it's very dry it won't even form a ball.) Add water one tablespoon at a time until you get a tacky ball.
Top left–too wet; Top right–too dry; Lower–Just right
When you learn how to gauge the consistency of the dough and can add water or flour as needed, the bread machine world is your oyster.
Although experience is helpful, I'm hoping you'll have beginner's luck and your bread will turn out superbly the first time.
Stick with the dough cycle only.
In case you haven't read my blog before, I rarely bake bread in my machine. I use the dough cycle to mix the ingredients. Then, I remove the dough to a floured board where I shape it. Finally, bake it in a conventional oven.
This method gives me more control, more shaping options, and a better crust on the finished product. If I'm going to ingest luxury calories, they better be worth it. Bread baked in a bread machine rarely makes the cut.
My favorite button on a bread machine.
Invest in quality bakeware and accessories.
If you decide you want to bake your bread-machine-mixed dough in a regular oven, you will want a nice crust on your bread. Purchase good pans.
Here are my suggestions. The last three items listed are excellent if you are a serious bread-baker.
- Two heavy-duty pizza pans with a dark finish (Check e-bay for these. Often sold off from defunct pizza restaurants.)
- Two (8 or 9-inch with 2-inch high sides) heavy-duty cake pans with dark interior or gold finish
- 4×8-inch loaf pan for recipes containing approximately 3 cups of flour
- Instant-read thermometer or this smaller one (paid links)–helps to gauge when the bread is fully baked
- Dough scraper
- Freebie shower caps–perfect for covering pans of formed dough for second rising
Heavy, dark-colored pans, instant-read thermometer and a dough scraper

Consider the ambient temperature.
(Ambient temperature refers to the area or room where your bread machine sits.)
If your house is chilly, the dough may not rise to double in the time allotted by the dough cycle. Leave the bread dough inside the machine to continue proofing.
To do otherwise will keep the yeast from developing to its full potential resulting in less flavor and dense texture.
Another option…
Consider moving your machine to a warmer spot in the house. Even though bread machines contain a heating element, the room temperature can make a huge difference in how fast the dough rises.
Third option…
Transfer the dough out of the bread machine pan into another bowl. Cover it. Set it inside a slightly warm oven or on top of a water heater or any place you know to be warm.
If you have a question or things aren't working out like you hoped, leave me a comment and I will get back to you ASAP.

Marcia Page and James Blackie are proud to present Marita Hewitt's new exhibition, 'Pulp'.
In the last three years, Marita has won the Wallace Art Award residency to The Vermont Centre, Vermont, and been a finalist in two (New Zealand) National Contemporary Art Awards, with her exquisite and powerful watercolour paintings, as well as winning a Portage Award in 2013 for one of her remarkable ceramics.
'Pulp' is a new body of work that charts Marita's playful studio inquiry of control versus chance. Concerns of materiality and the syntax of waste present themselves as ethereal sculptural portraits in watercolour, paper and porcelain.

[Giveaway] Artensoft Tilt Shift Generator
Re-create the tilt-shift effects by using your PC – no tilt-shift lens required! Make stunning dioramas by using computer-generated tilt-shift effect. Tilt-Shift Generator helps you reproduce the appearance of a miniature scale model in post processing without restricting yourself to a certain angle at the time of shooting – and without investing in expensive tilt-shift glass.
Tilt-Shift Generator produces convincing, natural-looking miniatures at a small fraction of the price of a real tilt-shift lens. And the best part is it works just as good as or better than glass-and-metal tilt-shift lenses.
Tilting the lens simulates a macro shot or a miniature scene. This one effect is easy to reproduce in the post. You don't lose anything by doing the tilt-shift effect in post-processing, and you won't gain anything by using a real tilt-shift lens to capture the same scene. In fact, by using a real tilt-shift lens, you lose much of the convenience provided by modern autofocus cameras, sacrificing the AF and automatic aperture control. Check out today's tilt-shift lenses: they cost an arm and a leg, yet they're all manual focus, and some of them still require you to set aperture manually and use stop-down metering, slowing down your shooting a great deal.
What you shoot with a real tilt-shift lens is distorted forever. With Tilt-Shift Generator, you can produce multiple versions of the same images, choosing the greatest angle and keeping the undistorted original.
With Tilt-Shift Generator, you can turn any picture into a faux-miniature, creating an image that looks like it's been shot in a macro or diorama setting without actually being one.

When he lifted the World Cup trophy high into the Moscow sky last summer, Samuel Umtiti would've owed much of that success to his time at Lyon. The French club picked the defender up at the age of nine and gave him that first footballing platform to perform on his way to major club and country glories.
When the current Barcelona centre-back made his Lyon debut at the age of 18, Les Gones were one of the most successful and competitive sides in Ligue 1. They were still clinging onto the golden era that Juninho and co. had left them to remember at the Stade Gerland. Remi Garde was trying to build on Claude Puel's polemic performance in the year prior that had seen OL secure a Champions League spot.
By the halfway stage in the season, a promising start had succumbed to fragile form, with Lyon losing four of their seven league games in October and November. Hugo Lloris was struggling for clean sheets, picking up just four in Ligue 1 before the winter break, and the likes of Dejan Lovren and Cris were unable to provide sturdy enough protection. That's when Garde turned to the young but imposing figure of Samuel Umtiti to bolster his defensive rearguard.
The Lyon fans were struck by the physicality, power and pace of their newest kid who initially started out at left-back, with Umtiti going onto be very popular amongst the home crowd at the Stade Gerland for the remainder of the campaign. The teenager played a key part in Lyon's Coupe de France run, including starts against Lyon Duchere, Luçon and PSG, which ended with victory over minnows Quevilly in the final.
Garde opted against finding a new central defender in the summer transfer market and put his faith in Umtiti for the following season. And, during a consistent campaign playing regularly in France's top flight, he netted his first senior goal in a win at Troyes. That was one of his five goals at his boyhood club, with the most memorable one being that curling, stunning strike against Tottenham at White Hart Lane in the Europa League.
Umtiti joined Paul Pogba and Florian Thauvin in the French squad for the under 20 World Cup in Turkey. Having joined forces with St. Etienne's Kurt Zouma at the centre of defence, Umtiti helped France to the title. Then it seemed as if every major club in Europe had eyes on the 19-year-old.
Zouma got his move to Chelsea the following January while Umtiti continued to assert himself as one of the most impressive players, let alone defenders, in France. PSG's Qatari billions changed the landscape of French football as some of the biggest names in world football flocked like moths to the City of Light. Former Lyon defender Hubert Fournier was tasked with bringing down this growing monopoly but could only manage successive second place finishes.
Fournier's defensive credentials made him the ideal man to build on what Umtiti had already learned off Remi Garde. Those two years under Fournier didn't bare fruit in terms of Lyon silverware, but it did produce one of the most well-rounded defenders on the continent. However, the football public of Europe only got their first glimpse of Umtiti on the world stage during Euro 2016. In Adel Rami's suspended absence, the 22-year-old was trusted to fill the centre-back role in France's quarter-final with Iceland.
After a composed and confident display during his first French cap, Umtiti kept his place for the semi-final with Germany. It's not outlandish to say that those 90 minutes against the world champions persuaded Barcelona to come calling after the tournament finished. Before the age of 23, Umtiti had all the attributes to become one of the best defenders in the world and, with his first three games for his country coming in the quarter, semi and final of a home major tournament, he had experience at the highest level too.

It's been said that admitting that you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery. So let's all take a deep breath, and say it together: My groups are a mess. Come on… I know you can do it.
Don't believe your groups are a mess? Let's take a look at the 7 worst habits that IT typically has when it comes to managing groups in Active Directory. How many apply to you?
- Set it and forget it: We've all done it — made a group, added some users, gave it permissions, and moved on to put out the next fire. The problem is this: you've probably never gone back to that group ever again, which turns a forgotten asset to the organization's security into a forgotten gap in security.
- Don't document: How many of us have bothered to fill in the Managed By tab? Or completed the Notes field to document the origin of the group and who is responsible for it? The likely answer "not many of us." Without properly documenting this information, there's no ability for IT to understand why a group was created, whether it needs to continue to exist years after its creation, and how one group can be differentiated from another.
- Make changes without context: Typically, when your helpdesk receives a request to add a new group member, assuming that the requestor checks out, the helpdesk team just goes ahead and makes the change. But is that even the right group to be modified? Are the permissions given to that group appropriate to the person being added? (Remember, you probably have no documentation to verify this.) What access is actually being granted? Without the proper context around a group's purpose and the permissions assigned, it's difficult to ensure that security is properly maintained.
- Make changes without accountability: Continuing with the previous example, who is verifying that the changes being made are appropriate? By itself, a request does not provide sufficient justification. It's likely that the helpdesk team doesn't check with the appropriate person to validate the request: anyone higher up the ladder in IT, someone closer to the application being granted access to, or even a line of business owner. Without some level of accountability, your helpdesk is simply helping your groups become an even bigger
- Keep IT the owner: When you created the group, you never set the Managed By values because you just figured IT would manage the group. However, as discussed above, this approach does not provide the context needed. Accordingly, it may be a good idea to designate someone closer to the resources being granted access to as the group "owner" (even if only for the purpose of later reference). This provides a way for IT to reach out to the right people when change requests are made in order to understand the context and address accountability issues.
- Don't delete anything…ever: Most organizations have no group membership management process that includes the removal of members and groups. If this sounds familiar, you probably have groups with members or permissions to resources (or both) that you don't even remember exist! Think about that for a moment. There are users with access to resources — of whom IT isn't even aware. Not good.
- Do it all yourself: As discussed previously, you probably never go back and actually manage groups: clean them up, verify that memberships are correct, confirm that the permissions assigned are necessary, etc. This is why they're a mess in the first place. It just doesn't make sense to have IT be the owner of a group. Someone much closer to an application — who knows which staff should be using an application, what permissions they require, etc. — should be the one to actually manage a group's membership, approve permission assignment, and even verify whether a group remains necessary or can be deleted.
If you are like most IT professionals, you are probably guilty of at least half of these bad habits — or more. Don't feel bad. We're all in the same boat. The question is, what can we do about it?
After admitting that there may be a problem, the next step is identifying the problem. For some of you, you may not even know just how bad it is. Fortunately, there are tools that can help. To evaluate the current state of your Active Directory groups, take a look at Imanami's free GroupID Health Meter diagnostic tool to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your Active Directory group management.
If you already have an idea of how bad the state of your Active Directory group management may be, there are resources to help you, too. For more information on how to properly manage Active Directory groups, check out the whitepaper Getting a Grip on Groups: 7 Best Practices to Better AD Group Management.
Our mission here at Imanami is to help you kick those bad habits. Let us help. The health of your Active Directory groups may depend on it.

Scene 1: in which Ana's team dutifully sets up the defense for the incoming corner kick. (Ana is closest to us wearing #5 in orange.)Scene 2: in which Ana's teams stares in amazement as the ball ricochets off the goalies hands and into the net whilst no one actually moves!

My pirate name is:
Bloody Mary Vane
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that's okay, because it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr!

Bouillon de Culture
These 10 questions originally came from a French series, "Bouillon de Culture" hosted by Bernard Pivot. It is probably more familiar to many as the question James Lipton asks at the end of "Inside the Actor's Studio."
I've found these questions interesting among friends. It's amazing what the simple answers to these questions reveal about a person's thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
01. What is your favorite word? Two actually...Dinner's ready!
02. What is your least favorite word? Good-bye
03. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Music
04. What turns you off? Lies
05. What is your favorite curse word? shitfire
06. What sound or noise do you love? Rain on a metal awning
07. What sound or noise do you hate? Dogs barking and other people's children crying
08. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Medical Examiner
09. What profession would you not like to do? Landscape Maintenance
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Welcome, please come in. What took you so long?
Please feel free to post on your blog and leave me a link or you can post your answers in the "Comments" section.

The Cupcake Verdict
We, the jury, in the above entitled action do hereby find the defendant, Barefoot Contessa Coconut Cupcakes, NOT WORTHY, of a clogged artery. So say we one, so say we all.
While I enjoyed making these cupcakes since I haven't done any baking in a long time, the end result wasn't worth it. I used all the finest ingredients I could find (just like a REAL chef) and followed the instructions carefully. Maybe part of the problem is that I really don't like cake.
The best part was the cream cheese frosting but I ended up with enough frosting to do another cake - maybe a carrot cake. That would be really good with cream cheese frosting.
Sam doesn't like coconut, so he won't be eating these. He asked me to leave the coconut out but I explained that they wouldn't be Coconut Cupcakes without coconut.
In the final analysis, I would much rather have spent my calories on a brownie. Not just any brownie, either. These brownies, which we refer to as Alton Brown-ies in our house.
Having said all that, none of it stopped me from eating two of them. Sigh....

A Sad Day for Ana
Based solely on genetics, I've known for many years that there would come a point where Sam would be taller than Ana. Sam's birthfather was 6 feet tall and was only 16 years old when Sam was born, so who knows how much taller he grew. Alas, Ana's birthfather was 5'9" tall and well into his 20's at the time of Ana's birth.
Today, that day arrived.
She is quite forlorn that her 10 year old brother is now 3/8" taller and she is more than 3 years older.
All I can say is - they're BOTH still shorter than me! I'm sure that won't last much longer either. But I've been expecting it so it won't bother me.

JNN 20 May 2014 New York : A jury found Egyptian-born cleric Abu Hamza Al-Masri guilty of 11 terrorism related charges Monday afternoon in a New York City courtroom, paving the way for a potential life sentence.
The 12-person jury deliberated for only just as many hours, Reuters reported, before finding the 56-year-old former London imam guilty of all 11 counts he faced.
According to a New York Times report from 2012 shortly after he was extradited from the UK, the cleric told the court he wanted to be addressed by his birth name, Mostafa Kamel Mostafa.
The US had successfully sought his extradition for eight years after he was indicted in the US in 2004 for various terrorism related charges. Until then, Mostafa was serving time in Britain after being accused of inciting violence there, where he had gained notoriety for fiery sermons delivered as a at London's Finsbury Park mosque. Combined with his indistinguishable appearance — Mostafa is missing one-eye and both hands—the cleric had no problem making waves on both sides of the pond.
When Mostafa was finally brought to New York, prosecutors began preparing for a high-profile terrorism case in which they hoped to show that the cleric had helped plan the 1998 kidnapping of American tourists and others in Yemen, and tried to help set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon; Mostafa denied the allegations up until this week's conviction.
On Monday, CNN reported that Mostafa accused prosecutors of using "pay-as-you-go witnesses" and a "cut-and-paste" approach in court in order to ensure a guilty verdict.
"The deliberations confirmed our fears they would focus on words and ideas rather than the evidence,"defense attorney Jeremy Schneider said after the verdict was announced.
"This is what we feared, that there would be no deliberations at all, essentially," co-counsel Joshua Dratel told Reuters. "Beliefs are not a crime."
Nevertheless, the United States attorney who prosecuted the accused terrorist celebrated this week's conviction.
"The defendant stands convicted, not for what he said, but for what he did. Abu Hamza was not just a preacher of faith, but a trainer of terrorists," Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement."Once again our civilian system of justice has proven itself up to the task of trying an accused terrorist and arriving at a fair and just and swift result. As we have seen in the Manhattan federal courthouse in trial after trial – of Ahmed Ghailani, of Suleiman Abu Ghayth and now of Abu Hamza – these trials have been difficult, but they have been fair and open and prompt. These trials demonstrate that in an American civilian courtroom, the American people and all the victims of terrorism can be vindicated without sacrificing our principles. And that is one reason our civilian court system is admired the world over."
Mostafa faces a maximum of life in prison when he is sentenced later this year in September .
Abu Hamza Al Misri's Background :
Hamza was born in Alexandria, Egypt, as Mustafa Kamel Mustafa in 1958, the son of a middle-class army officer. In 1979, he entered Britain on a student visa .
His initial reaction to life in Britain was to describe it as "a paradise, where you could do anything you wanted". He studied civil engineering at Brighton Polytechnic College.
In the early 1990s, Hamza lived in Bosnia under another name, and fought alongside Bosniaks against Serbs and Croats during the Bosnian War.
Hamza, who has one eye and no hands, says he lost them fighting Soviet forces in Afghanistan. CNN reported they were "injuries he says he sustained while tackling a landmine in Afghanistan." Among several accounts that take issue with Hamza's story, BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera's introduction to Omar Nasiri's memoir Inside the Jihad: My Life with Al Qaeda says Hamza "boosted his credibility" with rumors he sustained the injuries fighting jihad; also that Nasiri knew they resulted from "an accident during experiments in a training camp", and Hamza asked Nasiri "to keep this secret in order to avoid undermining his reputation." However, in his trial in the United States, Hamza stated that his injuries occurred whilst working with explosives with the Pakistani military in Lahore .

Secret E-Diary
It all depends on point of view
'The Bible tells us to love our neighbours, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.' – G. K. Chesterton
There are many things that most people do not understand about barristers: how they can defend people they believe to be guilty; what 'chambers' is and why they pay their clerks so much, to name but three. However, there is one thing that barristers themselves never quite get about other barristers, and that is how a defender becomes a relentless prosecutor; and how the radical firebrand turns into the judicial scourge of his erstwhile colleagues.
I was reminded of this recently. 'Could you do a little murder for me?' asked Andrew, our senior clerk. He is known to perform a curious bodily shape-shifting routine when he is embarrassed or emotionally roused. I could not see why 'doing a little murder' would cause this effect unless he had bagged a brief in Newcastle and was apprehensive about my reaction. 'Long way off?' I asked. 'Oh no, sir, very central London.' 'Insanity?' I queried. 'No,' he replied, 'just a bit of gangland tit-for-tat.' I continued to stare at him, awaiting enlightenment. 'Miss Briar-Pitt will be prosecuting, sir,' he said in a somewhat strangulated tone. For a second I did not react. Her name is so often coupled with mine in defence cases… then what he had said penetrated my brain. 'Miss Briar-Pitt prosecuting?' 'It's a sort of experiment, sir. All this diversity and giving people a chance.'
Since the only relevant features of Hetty B-P that at a stretch could be described as diverse were, one, that she very rarely prosecuted and, two, that she lived entirely for her horses, I did not know precisely what diversity template the prosecuting authority was applying. However, once I had recovered from the mild shock, I looked forward to a pleasant little trial, hopefully resulting in a triumphant acquittal for my client.
The first hint that these thoughts might be premature came when a somewhat agitated Felix Gray from next-door chambers rang me. He was my junior and had been instrumental in securing me the brief. Apparently he had telephoned Hetty with some seemingly innocuous requests for disclosure and she had bitten his head off. This often happens when barristers who do not know each other speak for the first time, but they are usually close friends by the end of the case. What is often needed is the intervention of a third party, such as myself, who is known to both.
I wandered into her room as I had done so many times before. 'Hetty!' I said, 'young Felix next door has got off on the wrong foot I fear. May I pour oil on troubled water and say we would just like disclosure on anything known about this awful gang.' She fixed with me with an expression that a large cat gives shortly before pouncing on its prey and gave my entirely reasonable request short shrift. 'First,' she said 'your wholly inadequate Defence Statement gives you no right to any further disclosure. Second, your junior is presumptuous and discourteous. Third, William, disks containing interviews of vulnerable witnesses should not be left out on your desk.'
And that is what it was like for the next 15 days. When we finally arrived at court for the trial I was emotionally exhausted. The sight or sound of either Miss Briar-Pitt or Mr Gray made me feel physically sick. In the Bar Mess I poured out my sorrows to the delightful, civilised and amusing Treasury Silk, George White. I had forgotten that his family was used to relatives being on opposing sides. 'Ghastly,' he said. 'At Tewkesbury I had two close relatives fighting each other in the Wars of the Roses.' I made sympathetic noises. 'It was even worse in the Civil War,' he continued. 'There we had two brothers in my family involved in a fearsome sword fight with both suffering heavy damage before they realised they were actually on the same side. Liveries were much less clear then. One of the brothers had had his hair cut and the other thought he was a Roundhead.' It put it all in perspective.
Our jury members could not agree. They, like the judge, were probably flummoxed by the endless quarrelling between counsel. I returned to chambers to give Andrew the news. His limbs seemed curiously restored. 'Never mind, sir,' he said, 'just got you a nice little blagging in Snaresbrook for next week.' I perked up. 'Leading?' I asked. 'Miss Briar-Pitt, sir,' he replied. Order had been restored.

'Vanni Yathra 2018'- a cycling journey by youth from both the North and South highlighted the importance of joint ventures in protecting nature. Launched on June 4 from Kilinochchi, the journey ended in Vavuniya covering over 200 kilometres in nine days.
The team behind the effort- Eco-Friendly Volunteers (Eco-V) had previously organized seven such 'Yathras' or journeys covering different parts of Sri Lanka. 'Yathra' means journey in Sinhala and the participants are called 'Yathrees'. Bicycles were used for these journeys which have been going on since 2011 with the aim of promoting the 'poor man's vehicle' as an eco-friendly mode of transportation, said Eco-V's president Kanchana Weerakoon.
Isyar Newton was the leader of VanniYathra 2018. Newton has been a 'Yathree' since 2011 (he was 31 then) and took part in the past six such journeys. Newton was an ex-LTTE combatant and very thankful for the opportunity he got to take part in the 'Kelani Nadee Yathra' (journey along Kelani river) in 2011 while he was under rehabilitation.
"Kelani Nadee Yathra' was a turning point in my life. It was the first time that I got to see the beauty of Sri Lanka and got to know youth from different parts of the country. These 'yathras' helped me to realize that youth in Sri Lanka are like-minded as we had loads of fun while campaigning for the environment," Newton said. "I feel 30 years of my life got wasted due to the war and now feel very productive as I'm now fighting a new kind of battle to protect the environment."
Newton changed his lifestyle, became vegetarian, stopped drinking fizzy drinks, and now campaigns against environmental pollution and an unhealthy lifestyle. He has participated in many training programmes and became an environmental activist and champion from the Northern Province. "Newton learnt Sinhalese very fast and became the Sinhala- Tamil translator for our programmes. Whenever we had a programme, he always travelled from Kilinochchi and early morning at 6 a.m. he would be at our door-step," Eco-V's president Kanchana said. "He became "Our Newton" and I'm happy that he did drive his own JourneyVanni Yathra," she added.
The 15 youth from North led by Newton were joined by 15 from the South led by Chapa Erandi – another young Yathree who emerged through Ruhunu Yathra 2016. Chapa lives in Deniyaya, in the Matara district and was delighted that she received the chance to explore the North closely for the first time. The team explored the forested areas while travelling and learnt about the plants and different eco-systems in the region. "The chance we got to observe lots of birds at Nandikadal lagoon is the most memorable," Chapa recalled.
Chapa found the campaign interesting as it helped them to educate the Northern community. Healthy food, hygiene and clean water, climate change, healthy living and reducing the carbon footprint are some of the topics this youthful team spoke of. "Northern communities after 30 years of war, only today get to deal with these concerns.
"Language was a barrier, but we were divided into a number of groups, so that our Tamil colleagues could help us to pass the message of conservation to the people," Chapa said. "Meeting schoolchildren in Pudukuduiruppu was special, as unlike schoolchildren in Colombo, they rarely get the chance to learn about the environment and biodiversity," she added.
Kanchana also said the bicycle has been used for the journey purposefully as it has become a global symbol of shifting towards sustainability. However, in the social fabric of Sri Lanka many people are choosing motorcycles, cars and three-wheelers for travelling, even a short distance. The bicycle was the Northerners' main mode of transport, but soon after the war many have changed their lifestyle and shifted to motorbikes and scooters. "Elevating the status of the bicycle in society and showing people the various functions and sustainable attributes to cycling was also an objective of Vanni Yathra 2018," Kanchana concluded.

Transforming Lives began its mission as a change agent in January of 2011. LaShawna Holland-Simpson was chosen by God to pioneer this revolutionary work. As an Apostle and long time church girl LaShawna realized that instructional principles was a missing element in victorious living. It is often said JUST pray about it or JUST trust God. Although true and spoken with good intentions; it was a point of frustration instead of a help. On the surface people seemed to have it together, yet the inner man was withering away. Authentic change, joy, and a willingness to serve was hard to come by. The journey of transformation is a transcending work that changes lives now and for generations to come. It is our mandate to assist in that transformational journey.

Burn Belly Fat!
Research shows that our bodies' inner eat-and-sleep clocks have been thrown completely out of whack, thanks to cues we send it all day with the wrong foods—and too much artificial light at night. The result: You're caught in a "fat cycle": a constant flow of hunger hormones that makes your cravings all but impossible to resist. But if you tune into your body's natural eat and sleep schedules, you can actually—finally—say good-bye to your belly. Sounds good, right?

When we started this project, his room was full of legos, matchbox cars, blocks, and LOTS of other toys scattered on the floor. We knew part of his room makeover would include organizing all his fun things. We also wanted to give him things to jump on, like a mini-trampoline, and enclosed spaces for a sense of security. We were able to put a small teeppee in his room, and a tent over his new, big-boy bed. A new dresser was added, and the table he kept his toys on got a makeover and was turned into a fun space for his legos.

Main Meal Salad
With the proper ratio of protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats, a healthy salad can be so much more than a boring bed of lettuce. That's why our Grilled Chicken Sorghum Spiralized Vegetable Salad is a perfectly nutritious entrée because it meets all the nutrient needs of your meal in one bowl. This salad starts with a vitamin-rich base of spiralized vegetables and is topped with protein-packed chicken breast that has been marinated in a savory blend of garlic and mustard and then grilled until lightly charred and wonderfully juicy. We especially love including sorghum in our salad because this ancient wonder grain is reaching global superfood status; it is gluten-free, non-GMO, and contains impressively high amounts of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals AND it is proven to have a higher antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties than blueberries. The combination of raw veggies mixed with warm grains and grilled chicken provides a variety of textures that keeps every delicious bite interesting and fresh. A sprinkling of hemp seeds adds a heart-healthy dose of omega-3s and a nutty-tasting crunch that complements the chewy sorghum and flavorful chicken. We dress it all up with just the right amount of sweet bitterness from the balsamic and tang from the lemon and mustard. Filled with nutrient-dense and hearty ingredients, our Grilled Chicken Sorghum Spiralized Vegetable Salad relies upon the goodness of grains, piled-on proteins, and variety of veggies to create a main meal salad that is so much more hearty than a plate of mixed greens.
Nutrient Booster: Sorghum
Sorghum is a whole grain superfood with a high nutritional value. This grain is teeming with protein and is a good source of magnesium, copper, calcium, zinc, and potassium. Sorghum contains a wide variety of beneficial phytochemicals that act as antioxidants in the body. Consuming antioxidant-rich foods have been shown to decrease the risk of heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and some neurological diseases. In fact, eating whole grains, such as sorghum, may lower mortality from cardiovascular disease. Sorghum is also one of the best sources of dietary fiber, which is vital for overall digestive health. Sorghum is naturally gluten-free and its vast health benefits make it a nutritious addition to any diet. Toss a handful of cooked sorghum in a bowl of soup, spoon stir-fries or stews over a bowl of sorghum grains, use it in place of quinoa or rice, or mix it into a fresh salad, like our Grilled Chicken Sorghum Spiralized Vegetable Salad.
Make Once, Eat Twice
Sorghum packs health benefits in every grain and is so easy to cook using your oven, stovetop, slow cooker, or rice cooker. We love making a double batch of this whole grain because it can be frozen and reheated without losing its great taste and chewy texture for use in all of your favorite recipes. Plus, when you make sorghum in advance with different stocks and spices, it absorbs all the flavors and maintains them when reheated. At Triad To Wellness, we are obsessed with sorghum! We have created dozens of recipes that incorporate this superfood. From our Kale, Fennel and Sorghum Salad to our Wild Salmon and Sorghum Bowl or our Shrimp Jambalaya, our dishes highlight the versatility of whole grain sorghum. We use it as a risotto, in chili, as a mushroom stuffer, to top salads, and even in a stuffing. Let us inspire you to "make once, eat twice" by adding one of our favorite foods to your favorite meals.

In this post I wanted to help RV owners learn everything you need to know about RV water heater by-pass systems.
Most RV manufactures today install water heater by-pass systems on the RVs they sell. The water heater by-pass system is used to separate the water heater from the RV's plumbing system. The by-pass system can be used to drain the water heater, and to winterize the RV water system. When the by-pass system is used, it takes the cold water going to the water heater and routes it to the hot water plumbing line. When that happens the water heater is by-passed
Typically, you would use the by-pass system when the RV is winterized using an RV approved anti-freeze. When you bypass the water heater you can drain the water heater tank and the tank is safe for winter storage. By-passing the water heater saves you the cost of filling the water heater tank with six or more gallons of RV antifreeze to winterize the RV water system. For more information on winterizing your RV check out our RV winterizing and storing online training course.
How many types of RV water heater by-pass systems are there?
There are three common types of bypass systems, and you need to know which type you have. The types are 1, 2 & 3 manual valve operation.
On 1-valve systems the valve is located at cold water line and the by-pass line.
On two 2-valve systems, one valve is located at the cold-water inlet and the other valve is in the by-pass plumbing line.
On 3-valve systems, one valve is at the cold-water inlet, one is at the hot water outlet, and the third one is in the by-pass plumbing line.
The proper operation of each bypass system:
On a 1-valve system turn the valve at the cold-water supply line 90 degrees to the supply line. This stop the water supply to the water heater and open the by-pass line. Note: Some bypass valves use knobs rather than handles. In this case, just turn the knob until it is fully open or closed.
On a 2-valve system turn the valves located on the cold-water inlet and hot water outlet so the handle is in-line with the by-pass line. This will open the by-pass, connecting the cold and hot water plumbing lines. Note: Some bypass valves use knobs rather than handles. Simply turn the knob until it is fully open or closed.
On a 3-valve system turn the manual valves located on the cold-water inlet and hot water outlet so the handle is in-line with the by-pass line just like the 2-valve system, then turn the manual valve in the by-pass line until the handle is in-line with the by-pass line. Note: some bypass valves use knobs rather than handles. Simply turn the knob until it is fully open or closed.
With the valves in these positions you can drain any water from the tank.
Caution: Never drain the tank when it is hot or under pressure. Open a hot water faucet to relieve pressure and allow the water to cool prior to draining.
To disengage the bypass system and allow water to enter the water heater, reverse the positions of the handles.
Symptoms of improperly positioned bypass valves are:
1. No hot water coming from the water heater.
2. You only get a short supply of hot water, which quickly turns lukewarm, and then cold.
If you experience these symptoms look to see if the by-pass valves are in the proper position.
When you de-winterize your RV, make sure your water heater tank is completely full of water prior to turning on the gas or electric systems on. A tank not full of water can damage the water heater controls. An easy way to check if the tank is full is to lift the lever on your temperature and pressure relief valve. If it is full, you will get water at the valve. Caution: Never open the T&P valve lever when the water heater is hot or under pressure.

Happy Camping,
