I came upon the two men in the black of night.
Surely if they had seen me before I took their lives, they would not have known what to make of this figure rising from the mire. Lithe. Half-naked. Female.
I killed the one that slept first. Silently exposing his insides, while the other played his harmonica, completely unawares of what was coming for him. I did the other just as quickly, playing a note with his final breath.
I left them in that bog to bloat under the next day's sun. Such was what they deserved.
They had dug up the grave of my beloved, desecrated his body, and fled with his skull. No doubt they meant to sell it to buy more poison to throw down their gullets.
To do such a thing to a great man like John Murrell was more of a sin that any I have committed.
The Mystic Clan may have faltered since the passing of their founder and master, but I could never, ever, forget him.
I would shepherd his remains to that ancient sycamore tree. Part the rich earth with my hands. Then plant him like a seed amongst the roots.'
Memphis Note
John Murrell and his Mystic Clan were a loose organization of several hundred bandits in the Mississippi River region of Tennessee and Arkansas between the 1820s and 1840s. Murrell himself was a bit of a regional legend, though one more akin to a boogie-man than a benevolent figure. It is said that millions of dollars in plunder are still buried around Western Tennessee, yet another reason he was called the Great Western Land Pirate in his day.

I already got that honor on this thread. The letters "F.O." seem to be what did it. F.O. could stand for a lot of things. Frollicking otters. Feral oysters. Frumpy oilpan. Fresh oranges. Flip out. Fungus organizer. Faulty outlet. Fried octopus. Free online. Oh wait, not that one. Umm..Fried oven. Frosty Olga. Freak out. Fish ovaries. Finally over. That one fits. Fly over (to Rolling Plains Thought And Opinion dot com, that is). Or, it could mean just what I meant it to mean.

Belgrade, December 10, 2005 – HRH Crown Prince Alexander II took the kick-off at a six-a-side show soccer game on the occasion of the International Human Rights Day played between the former Serbian government (2001-2004) and the current Government of Serbia.
The game was a part of the humanitarian tournament in six-a-side soccer organised by the Sky Vision, a company for humanitarian and sport development and cooperation, and under the auspices of the Ministry of Human Rights and Minorities of Serbia and Montenegro, Ministry of Education and Sport of the Government of Serbia, Directorate of Sport and the Belgrade City Hall.
The 2001-2004 government team won by 2 – 0. In a statement to the B92 Television, Crown Prince Alexander II congratulated the International Human Rights Day to the Ministry and Minister Rasim Ljajic, adding that he supported both teams and that "we all should be one team."

McIntyre Vineyards
Steve McIntyre has three decades of experience in sustainable winegrowing in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. The McIntyre Estate Vineyard is located in the central section of the Santa Lucia Highlands. Originally planted by the McFarland family in 1973, it contains some of the oldest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Steve McIntyre acquired the 80-acre property in 1987. 37 acres are own-rooted Pinot Noir heritage clone, oldest in the Santa Lucia Highlands. 10 acres of Pinot Noir 115 and 77 and 13 acres of Chardonnay 96 and 76. Some of the Estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes are set aside for the McIntrye Vineyards label and some is sold to producers such as Morgan, De Tierra, Joullian and La Rochelle. The first vintage for McIntyre wines debuted with the 2005 vintage. Other vineyards sourced for the McIntyre Vineyards label include Mission Ranch Vineyard (Arroyo Seco) and Kimberly Vineyard (Arroyo Seco). Steve and his wife Kimberly started Monterey Pacific, Inc., a viticulture management and development company which has grown to be the fifth largest vineyard management company in the U.S. at over 10,000 acres. Steve was one of the initial founding members of the Central Coast Vineyard Team's Sustainability in Practice (SIP) program. The winemaker is Byron Kosuge. The wines (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot and Sparkling) are sold through the winery's website store. Articles About McIntyre Vineyards

You don't have to re-post to tell us what you said. It is there in plain view. You didn't mention Clinton's recovery but instead posted ... "She found out the "concussion" story wasn't gonna fly and the stalling wasn't going to work. Now her "doctor" happens upon another way to keep her out of commission until she's out of office ..." You made it clear you don't believe she had a concussion or a blood clot. Heck your use of quotations suggests you don't even think she has a doctor or the doctor is a liar.
Regardless of Party, mistakes are going to be made. An Administration can lead us into foolish wars or ignore Embassy requests for more security. Hopefully the current administration and the State Department have learned something from this mess. Embassy work is not always safe and Embassy workers have been held hostage and killed in the past. I expect it will happen again.
Also based on ratings I don't think many watch MSN. Based on your comments it is obvious you have your own jug of Koolaid in front of you. You are as biased as those you constantly criticize.

Special Issue "Remote Sensing for Sustainable Energy Systems"
A special issue of Remote Sensing (ISSN 2072-4292).
Deadline for manuscript submissions: closed (31 October 2011)
Special Issue Editor
Guest Editor
Prof. Dr. Josef Strobl
Austrian Academy of Sciences and Centre for Geoinformatics, University of Salzburg Hellbrunnerstrasse 34, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria

E-Mail: email@example.com
Phone: +43 662 8044 5203
Fax: +43 662 8044 525
Interests: spatial analysis; digital terrain and surface modelling; spatial data infrastructures; space and renewable energy; eLearning and geoinformatics; spatial decision support models
Special Issue Information
The planned issue is centered around an integrated spatial / regional systems perspective of providing energy to society. One key tenet is the view that most renewables in the end are directly or indirectly driven by solar energy. Thus the Earth's surface, as the receiving boundary layer where most energy conversions occur, (co-)defines a region's potential for generating energy. Remote Sensing as the means for assessing and monitoring surface characteristics contributes valuable information towards developing sustainable energy systems.
Papers expected as contributions to this issue include, but are not limited to:
- (Climatological) energy balance of regions, particularly in urban contexts
- Assessment of biofuel production potentials (including a critical perspective)
- Regional logistics of biofuel production
- Regionalized assessment of energy demand (electrical, thermal)
- Analysis of solar potential in built-up areas as well as for solar farms
- Thermal assessment of buildings and built-up areas (potential for savings through isolation)
- Siting optimization for e.g. wind farms based on land use development
- Corridor analysis for energy transport (power lines, pipelines)
- Hydropower potential and risk analysis (terrain modeling)
- Green house gas emissions and energy production / usage
- Land use patterns and energy systems
- Managing conflicts (eg, conservation vs energy production)
Potential authors are encouraged to contact editors with abstracts outlining their proposals for paper submissions. Editors will provide early feedback aiming at making this issue an authoritative and broad source demonstrating the contribution of remote sensing to managing our world's energy needs.
Prof. Dr. Josef Strobl

I BLEW MY CHANCE !! - Page 4
Register Today!- Feb 21 by mazyI had a job interview back when I was first starting out where I went in to interview one person, then another, then got in to talk to another, and so on. Every person I talked to asked me how I felt about conflict in the work place. I had been a CNA so I knew all about personality clashes in healthcare so I kept giving decent enough answers about how to navigate conflict situations.
But then I started getting really frustrated, because I was thinking "why do they keep asking me this?" And I kept trying to give articulate responses, but I was getting tired -- it was a really long interview and was starting to feel like an interrogation -- and finally the last person in the chain asked me again "how comfortable do you feel with conflict" and I just blurted out "I'm not comfortable with conflict AT ALL."
Well. I didn't get the job, but by that point I didn't want it.
Forty nine patients per nurse is an absolutely insane ratio and you are better off not being in that facility.

Environmental Health Strategy Center of Maine, Alliance for a Clean and Healthy Maine Waterville, Maine
January 2009
My internship is with the Environmental Health Strategy Center (EHSC). EHSC (http://www.preventharm.org) is a non-profit organization in Maine with the goal of protecting human health by "reducing exposure to toxic chemicals, expanding the use of safer alternatives, and building partnerships that focus on the environment as a public health priority." They work to accomplish this goal through grassroots movements and state campaigns as well as the dissemination of their public health models and legislation to national and global public health networks.
As a research intern for the Environmental Health Strategy Center (EHSC), I spent the majority of my time researching current literature on Bisphenol-A. Specifically, I researched exposure types, health and behavioral effects, and legislation concerning Bisphenol-A. I also devoted some of my time to researching "obesogens," environmentally present chemicals that have been shown to facilitate obesity. The final fruit of my labors was an annotated bibliography and executive summary of exposure types, health and behavioral effects, and legislation concerning Bisphenol-A. This dossier will be used to quickly and efficiently educate legislators as well as uninformed workers at EHSC.
My internship was carried out from an on-campus. The literature research I performed was entirely web-based, and, with the seemingly infinite access to web-databases and electronic journals, I was able to work out of the Diamond GIS lab or my dorm-room.
While working on-campus was not conducive to learning a lot about the organization (EHSC), I learned a considerable amount about literature-research methods and the field of environmental health as a whole. Moreover, I became a veritable expert on the current situation of and scientific knowledgebase of Bisphenol-A.

By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY
SEBRING -- Members of the Tanglewood Actors Guild bring "The Queen of Bingo" to Highlands County March 6, 7 and 8.
The play is a two-act straight up comedy; the lines laugh-out-loud funny. While an affectionate send up of bingo, the focus is on two hilarious women.
There's not much of a plot, but the audience gets to know two wonderful characters during a bingo session at St. Joseph's Catholic Church.
The two middle-aged sisters -- bingo fanatics -- have arrived late. Instead of sitting in their usual chairs, they're out in a spill-over hallway where they can't even see the bingo board.
Sis, the elder sister -- played by Marcie Taylor -- is the calmer of the two, taking life as it comes.
Babe -- played by Susanne Schiffarth -- is the opposite. Loud, boistrous, sometimes crude, the younger sister is also vigorous and brimming with the love of being alive.
While Sis complains of never winning, Babe always believes she'll win the next pot.
Schiffarth, who directed the production, had to step into Babe's role at the last minute.
"(The play) is about winning and losing," she said. "If you consider yourself a winner, you'll be a winner."
Babe, especially, gains insight in the course of the evening. She does this at the same time as she haranges other bingo players, comments on life, and spars with her sister.
Brian Leavy plays Father Mac and Steve Waitkus is the bingo caller.
Tickets are $10. The price includes a desert, served during intermission. Tickets are available from 3-4 p.m. Thursday at the Tanglewood Clubhouse, or at the door before a performance.
The doors open at 6 p.m.; the curtain rises at 7.
The 50/50 raffle each show night is a a fundraiser for the Tanglewood Cancer Residents' Benefit.
For more details go to firstname.lastname@example.com or call Dianne Lane at 471-1946.

Literally at Land's End, Cabo San Lucas sits at the southern tip of Baja California. Here, the Sea of Cortés and the Pacific Ocean meet at the famous Land's End rock formation (El Arco). Nearby, Lover's Beach (Playa del Amor) offers superb snorkeling. Although popular for its world-class golfing and sportfishing, Cabo's after-dark clubs are a rival draw, such as Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo Cantina.

It was our second time staying at Rio Palace. It already prob.saying something. Good food, good drinks, good service and amazing location and the beach. Very private and most of the visitors are families and couples. If you are looking to party like crazy, don't go here! Have some cash with you for tipping, they like it there... also be prepare to spend […] $10-20 on tipping a reception person to get steak house reservation otherwise you have to wake up at 7am to do so...

"Highly recommend, I'd love to go back!"
Pros: Gorgeous grounds; amazing pool; great buffet; friendly, helpful staff; clean and spacious room; beautiful views of ocean and El Arco. Common areas were utilized but not crowded and I loved the convenience of all-inclusive. Cons: Room smelled very musty; my bed sank a bit on one side; room service food was not good. Stick to the buffet or onsite […] restaurants because they had good food. The room service itself was timely and friendly. For me, the pros far outweigh the minor cons and I would definitely return and/or recommend this place. Enjoy! قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Hotels.com

The resort itself is well taken care of and has a very friendly staff on hand. I found most of the negatives focused around the food selection and the hard beds. You will find the food or selection of food is the same in about every restaurant that is location on their property. If you are there for just a few days then it won't be so much of an issue. […] Room service was good if you could get through to them. Good luck on that, but if you do then the club sandwich is really good.

Riu Palace was a beautiful resort a sort taxi ride from the downtown nightlife of Los Cabos, Mexico. The resort staff were very courteous and extremely helpful.

"Excellent hotel with true 'All Inclusive' exp"
The hotel is right on the beach and most rooms have a great view of the ocean. The Ocean view Suite we had was a lot bigger than the junior suite and well worth the upgrade. Hotel has an awesome buffet restaurant where the menu changes daily. The food is definitely comparable to Vegas buffets. There are several bars which offer drinks for most of the […] day/night. Bars carry good quality alcohol like 12 yr old scotch, name brand tequilas, rum etc. Hotel also had on site entertainment activities like ping pong, water volleyball, bingo and also nightly shows put up by professional dance groups.

Along with my husband and our 3 kids, we enjoyed a week long stay at Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas. This was my husand and I third stay at this hotel. We enjoy staying at an All Inclusive and know what we can expect when we visit a Riu Palace. We had a wonderful time.Good food on most days. Our least favorite Asian food night and our most favorite Mexican […] food night. We had a very disappointing day on the Thursday of our trip. The "relaxed" pool became overrunn by 20 something yr olds that should have been in the "party" pool. Several of these new comers decided to throw a nurf football which of course started bouncing off the heads of innocent bi-standards. A few guests attempted to nicely ask the footballers to stop which of course they didn't. Twice the pool servers asked them to stop to no avail.

We arrived around 11:30 p.m. checked into hotel and walked over to an open bar. We noticed families and couples were having a late night snack which have nachos, hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches . It was late so we were unable to get our all inclusive bands till next day. I woke up next morning to make dinner reservations but everything was booked by […] 7:20 a.m.. Our Ocean front room was on top floor 4087 beautiful we would leave glass door open but air-condition shuts off anyway we love to hear crashing of waves and you can hear pool D.J.

"Beautiful location, clean, NOISY"
Absolutely beautiful views from the pools. Food is ok for buffet. Hotel is ridiculously noisy. The doors to the rooms slam shut so be prepared to be awoken multiple times throughout the night unless you are a very heavy sleeper. Maintenance work hammering out tiles in the hallway outside our room started at 8:50am for the first two days we were there […] so forget sleeping in. Alarms would go off in the middle of the night. We were close to an elevator and anytime someone walks on or off, it beeps loudly. The hot water stopped working daily around 2pm for about 2-3 hours. Water pressure in shower is non-existant. The toiletries looked re-used, our soap and shampoo bottles were 1/2 full at arrival. Even after we fully used them, they replaced with others that were 1/2 to 3/4 full. Paid for an upgraded ocean view which turned out to be a "technical" ocean view. Essentially I had to lean over the balcony and twist my neck in order to see the water. My "ocean view" room faced the Riu Sante Fe and instead of ocean, all we heard was generators/air-conditioners. The gym is clean but the equipment is rusty and dated. They also have an electric potpourri pot plugged in making the whole gym smell like potpourri. It made me nauseous. قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Expedia

Statement by First Baptist Church Dallas Regarding Tim Tebow's Cancellation of His Speaking Engagement in April During Grand Opening Celebration
DALLAS, Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The leaders and congregation of First Baptist Church Dallas are disappointed that New York Jets' Quarterback Tim Tebow today has announced he will no longer speak at First Baptist Church Dallas on April 28, 2013, as part of the month-long celebration events surrounding the grand opening of our new $130 million, state-of-the-art campus on Easter Sunday.
Mr. Tebow called Dr. Jeffress Wednesday evening saying that for personal and professional reasons he needed to avoid controversy at this time, but would like to come to First Baptist Dallas to speak at a future date.
We are saddened that Mr. Tebow felt pressure to back out of his long-planned commitment to First Baptist Dallas from numerous New York and national sports and news media who grossly misrepresented past comments made by our pastor, Dr. Robert Jeffress, specifically related to issues of homosexuality and AIDS, as well as Judaism.
As a Christian pastor, Dr. Jeffress takes a biblical approach to moral and social issues, closely following his duty to preach 'the whole counsel of God,' and not just address issues that are politically correct. First Baptist is a church built on the truth of Scripture, even though at times that approach can be perceived as controversial or counter to the prevailing winds of culture.
The reason for the recent media firestorm is not because the Word of God has changed, but because society has changed.
More important, contrary to editorializing in the media, Dr. Jeffress shares a message of hope, not hate; salvation, not judgment; and a Gospel of God's love, grace and new beginnings available to all.

Sand & Sea
Thursday, July 12, 2012
My kids can't seem to do any one thing for more than about 30 minutes at a time, but it looks like this trip I've discovered what can hold their attention longer than any computer or video game can: sand and sea is key. We packed up a lunch of sandwiches, chips, cookies, and water (yes, only water for the kids and nobody complained? Miracle), headed out to the beach, and spent 4 1/2 hours in exactly one spot with everyone perfectly content with life, kids included. The only thing I had to do (besides sit my ass in a recliner and soak up the sun and the refreshing Nantucket breeze) was get up every hour to slap some more sunscreen on the kids. If I had known it was this easy to keep them perfectly happy, I would have insisted on moving nearer to the beach a lifetime ago. Amazing.
Everything feels better at the ocean. The plain old sandwiches taste like gourmet Iron Chef creations on fresh baguettes from Paris, the breaking of the waves sounds like a full symphony orchestra, and all the screaming from my kids playing in the sand is absolute music to my ears. Who needs therapy to work out the kinks of life when you've got miles and miles of perfect beach that does the trick instead?

Universal Pictures to build a live action film around toy company's signature brand.
Universal Pictures has secured a deal with toy giant Mattel to produce a live action film starring Barbie.
Mattel senior VP Richard Dickson told Variety that the deal with Universal was the logical next step in expanding the brand's reach. Over the past few years, Barbie has moved from being a simple toy brand to being more of a lifestyle and fashion property.
A number of deals in the fashion world have been struck recently, including with Paul's Boutique and Patricia Field.
"In the last ten years, Barbie has evolved from a toy into an intellectual property," said Dickson. "We've already had enormous success in the entertainment industry. Barbie has a proven track record in home entertainment, there have been live stage shows, live symphonies and other non traditional forms of entertainment."
Universal Pictures' chairman Marc Shmuger added: "Barbie is the most famous doll in history, a unique cultural icon in the world of brands."

Key Word | Japanese |
(from the middle of September to the end of November)
"Momiji" gari is when we go to the fields and mountains to enjoy the changing colors of autumn leaves. In Japan we have the custom of holding "Momiji gari" in autumn, the same way that we go to see the cherry blossoms in the spring. The word "Momiji" means that trees are changing to their autumn colors and it originates from the old word "Momizu", which means to dye something red. For a long time, "Momiji" has been a familiar word to Japanese people. We have been using the word widely to symbolize red or autumn. For example, we have "Momiji oroshi", which is indispensable with "Nabe (a hot-pot cooked at the table)". It is a grated Japanese radish with some red pepper in it, and "The daikon oroshi (grated radish)" becomes faintly red, so it is called "Momiji oroshi". Since ancient times, the word "kari" has meant to hunt and gather fruits and view plants. The ancient Japanese seemed to have been fond of the beauty of a short-lived nature. In "Manyoshu(630-760,the oldest collection of tanka)" we can read some tankas about a custom of enjoying tinted autumn leaves. Around the Heian era (794-1192), "Momijigari" was widely held among the aristocracy. In the season of beautiful autumn leaves, it is said that the nobles set a boat out on a pond in a garden and enjoyed playing musical instruments on the boat. Since the Edo era(1603-1867) "Momijigari" has also become popular among the common people. We can only see tinted autumn leaves on deciduous trees. 30 percent of the earths land is covered by forest. However, a coniferous forest in Russia, Alaska, Canada and tropical rain forests (such as jungles) account for the majority of trees on earth. Unfortunately, we cannot see tinted autumn leaves on these kinds of trees. Deciduous trees can mainly be found on the coast of East Asia, the Eastern part of North America, and in parts of Europe. In Japan, the forest covers 70 percent of the country and there are various deciduous trees planted here. Therefore, we can see beautiful autumn leaves all over the country. Leaves begin to turn red around September in Hokkaido. And then from October to November we can see tinted autumn leaves all over the country. The autumn coloring of leaves moves from the North part of Japan to the Southern part of Japan and in that order. We call this line of movement, "Koyo zensen (autumn tint front)", and it is officially announced through the medium every day. During this season of foliage, we sometimes go hiking in the hills and fields to enjoy the autumn colors, and sometimes enjoy taking a walk in the park. Famous places for the beautiful colored leaves, such as Arashiyama in Kyoto and Irohazaka in Nikko, etc. are crowded with a large number of people. It is said that the colors of the leaves turn brighter due to the condition of the huge temperature differences between day and night, the moderate humidity, strong ultraviolet rays, many hours of sunlight and the high temperature in the summer time which add to the leaves brightness. Unfortunately, because it was rainy and cool all over the country this summer, the conditions have not complied this year. However, we hope to enjoy "Momijigari" in the hills and fields with their brilliantly-colored autumn leaves this fall. End |

Rock legend Adam Clayton has revealed how U2's music saved him from depression – and urged the Irish government to tackle the teenage suicide issue.
Clayton made the plea at the launch of a campaign to save those aged 15-25 from suicide and create awareness of mental health.
The U2 bass player told the Irish Sun newspaper that the cause is something he empathises with.
And he told how music has saved him from the clutches of depression as he battled with mental health issues when he was a socially awkward teenager.
Clayton told the Irish Sun: "For me and the rest of the band it was music that saved us. Otherwise we would have gone a bit mad I'm sure - not mad, but certainly suffered from depression."
The 52-year-old was one of the celebrities at the launch of 'Walk In My Shoes' campaign in aid of the St Patrick's Hospital Foundation in Dublin.
He added: "When I was 16 or 17, I found it difficult to fit in but then music was the thing that worked for me.
"Later on, I had issues with alcohol and I went to rehab. It was a breath of fresh air to have people identify what was going on for me. Thankfully, by putting down the alcohol, I haven't had any issues since.
"When I heard about the mental health issues here in Ireland, about young men between 15 and 25 and the high suicide rates and the fact that this is a difficult time, it was an opportunity to do something.
"Music fans - the people we relate to and identify with - tend to be between the ages of 15 and 25, and to hear these high suicide rates is tragic. Any suicide is tragic - but the suicide of a young person particularly so."
If they paid tax like everyone else there would be more money for services....like they no doubt have in Holland!
This is very important. Celebrities have such influence over people, especially the young. I have great respect for Adam Clayton for sharing his own past issues, in order to help others. Music is a healer. It heals both the musician and the listener when it has a positive message or vibe.

Welcome to 2009. Every year a prepare a list of written resolutions and for the past 7 years, I've shared those only with my wife Mary Shannon. This year I thought I would publish my list and use the extra motivation of that public revelation to help motivate me. Also, I'm going to publish a quarterly update to track my progress. I try to keep a balance of family, physical, professional and spiritual goals. (editors note: I published these Jan 18 after working this list several times. I will update in late March on my progress)
1. Run 1000 miles
This works out to about 3 miles a day. It's a big commitment but I think I'm up for it. I have several training opportunities that will help. I'm going to complete a 5K in under 21 minutes, win a medal in my age group in a 10K and run two 1/2 marathons.
2. Eliminate discretionary spending
Like many people, I spend money on many things just don't need. I'm going to challenge myself to go an entire year without buying any new clothes, which tend to be my biggest weakness. This includes gadgets, accessories, pens, sunglasses etc.
3. Maintain a professional marketing blog
I've cut my teeth with this personal blog and now I would like to try my hand at a professional blog. My goal will be to write about a relevant industry topic once a week.
4. Complete 12 acts of random kindness
I have no idea what these will be but I know the opportunities will present themselves.
5. Actively Conserve
Eliminate unnecessary paper/plastic usage, no newspapers/periodicals, water bottles, shopping bags when not absolutely necessary.
6. Participate actively in my Daughter's education
I'd like to teach her to read by age 4. She is doing well with the alphabet, numbers and counting and even some complex problem solving. I want to make sure I'm augmenting what she's getting at school.
7. Give Mary Shannon a couple weeks of days off
Spend a day a month with Mary Catherine doing something out of the house all day.
8. Continually Learn
Expand my knowledge of my profession, interact with industry experts and learn something new in the marketing field.
9. Take a couple Ferris Bueller days
Occasionally, we all need a complete day off. No responsibilities (work, family, civic etc.) I call these Ferris Bueller days becuase I want to enjoy them to the fullest. Here's an example, in February, I'm going to go to the Chicago with my good car enthisiast friend Alex to attend the Chicago auto show. He and I will spend the entire day at the show looking at every single car. Then we'll have a fabulous dinner and go to hear some live Blues. The next morning, I'll fly home.

SANTA CRUZ - Loud fun, that's what you could hear on Friday at the Teen Public Safety Academy held by the Santa Cruz Police Department.
"Passenger, open the door and step out of the vehicle," shouts a distorted voice through the speaker. "Get out of the car, put your hands up and walk backward."
"Come on what is this?" Hannah Allen-Young yells back before kneeling. "This is ridiculous. Police Brutality."
It all feels like a high-tension arrest unfolding on the Boardwalk's river parking lot. Until you notice the orange plastic gun that 14-year-old Michael Mann is pointing at his fellow academy student Allen-Young. Both teenagers were part of 20 young county residents enrolled in the program.
"Bad guys don't always do what you tell them do," said Police Chief Kevin Vogel, chuckling.
Vogel initiated the summer camp last year, he said. For five days, teenagers from 14 to 18 receive hands-on experience on the daily job of police officers, paramedics and firefighters.
"The whole purpose of this program is to provide kids with a positive activity for the summer," Vogel said. "I remember being fascinated by the police department as a kid. Most of these kids are too, they want to know what we do."
Friday morning was dedicated to high-risk car stops. For two hours teens hopped on the department's white Dodge Charger, embarking on a series of high-adrenalin skids, while their fellow trainees were teamed with officers, chasing them aboard four patrol vehicles. The pursuit eventually ended with a handcuffed, smiling Vogel. Given the speed, it was only fair.
"We've been trying to show them a lot of things that we have to deal with," officer Adam Baker said.
Every day kicked off with a one-hour fitness training, before moving on to specific activities. Traffic regulation, canine demonstrations, narcotics fighting and crime scene investigation, Baker said. They also spent time assisting firefighters and paramedics. All academy participants walked out with first-aid certifications, proving they can perform a cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, or use an automated external defibrillator.
"The ultimate goal would be for some of these kids to choose public safety as a career," Vogel said.
A few youngsters were indeed striving for more than just fun. Fifteen-year-old Allen-Young hopes to become a devoted firefighter, she said.
"I've really enjoyed the police aspect too," Allen-Young said. "People sometimes forget that there are gang and drugs problems here. There's a lack of acknowledgement about what they do."
A regular viewer of crime shows such as "Law and Order" or "Southland," Allen-Young was thrilled by her week, she said. The academy also enabled her to correct the somewhat skewed visions that TV programs can provide.
"It's a lot more complicated than just arresting people or pointing a gun at someone," Allen-Young said.
Teenagers were not the only ones to benefit the academy's teaching. Police members enjoyed their week as well, officer Joe Hernandez said, stressing how important relationship is within the local community.
"Next time these kids are on the streets, they can be like, 'hey, I know that officer,' and come forward to report something they've seen, rather than just walking away," Hernandez said.
All three upcoming summer sessions of the academy are full. For information about the Police Department's Public Safety Academy, go to SCPD's blog http://santacruzpolice.blogspot.com

1. Do you have a date set for the release of your book? Who are you publishing through? It will be Regina and Jae in its entirety, right?
I don't have a date.. honestly, publishing something is on my wish list && I have my fingers crossed that when the time comes, someone reputable will decide to publish it. I actually had a book I was writing in high school and college that I decided to shelf. In writing R&J, I changed my writing style up a bit and ideally wanted it to be my first release— but with growing and changing, I am considering pushing "Going the Distance.." to be my first. PRAY FOR ME! Lol
2. I am late but want to say that I am sorry to hear about Desire and you going yall own ways. I use to read both of yall blogs and on I Bleed Ink. My girl and I was really digging yall. Is there any chance of getting back together? yall seemed solid and whatnot. Yall cant rebuild?
I want to first say thank you on both of our behalves for being a faithful reader- I am sure she would appreciate knowing that you two stuck around. Um, any chance of us getting back together? Never say never, right? Honestly, I think that is something you would have to speak with her about. Ultimately, she felt she needed to go her own way.. and like I said before, I never would have let her go if she didn't want to leave. I was down for her in ways I never would have given myself to anyone else… and prayerfully, she knows that. Anyways, in the end, getting back together or rebuilding would be a choice she would have to make. I didn't then, nor do I now, have say in what could be.
3. It's been awhile since you posted any poetry. Do you still write them, but privately, or have you not had anything?
I actually have a poem I wrote recently that I have been safeguarding dearly. It's similar to the Confession post that I had and I just don't know if I am ready to get that deep again, lol. BUT, outside of that, my poetry has really hit the back burner.. and by back, I mean barely in the kitchen.
4. What is your ultimate career goal?
I've always had an affinity for the medical and legal fields. It wasn't until recent months that I was finally able to combine the two. I believe I have decided on something along the lines of… "Vice President of Risk Management for [insert major hospital name here]. The field combination is definite, but the exact title is debatable.
5. Name three places you want to travel. Do you have any upcoming trips planned?
Egypt, Tahiti and Australia. && I do! Stay tuned
6. What are your thoughts on commitment in a relationship?
Commitment and loyalty seem to be things people ask for, but don't know what to do with once they get it. It has to be mutual- it starts with respect and ends with trust. As I have grown up, I have a new understanding of it. Before I saw commitment as really just a decision to be faithful to a person and a situation, but now, I see it to be so much more. I find commitment to really be a giving of yourself. I think you have to make a concrete decision that if and when the time comes, you will put that person before yourself. I feel that to be committed to something is to give it your all—even when it hurts—even when you don't have the energy—even when your faith is dwindling—even when the odds are stacked against you. It's deciding that come hell or high water—even when you aren't each other's favorite people, you will continue to work your best through any and everything.
7. Why is your team the sorry ass Celtics? And you better post this question!
lol. I really hate you sometimes… I loved the Celtics because I was a huge Ray Allen, Paul Pierce && Kevin Garnett trio fan. When Ray ended up with Miami, he and I could no longer be friends, but I stuck with my other two. NOW, they are over with the Brooklyn Nets, so I am traveling with them. Which I guess is how everything comes full circle, since I am originally from Brooklyn anyway….. should be an interesting season, HATER!
8. Are you and Desire still following each other on social networks? Why or why not? Does she still read your blog?
We are no longer following each other on social networks—in addition to me making the decision to delete my personal Twitter account (which I rarely used) a while ago. I can't speak for her as to why she stopped following me, but I stopped following her because my feelings were kind of getting hurt. She is single, so of course, she could do as she pleased, but it still hurt to see certain things happening. As for my blog, I don't know if she is still reading… you would have to ask her that one.
9. How many of your readers have you met? Will you ever completely give up being anonymous? What does a reader have to do to get a picture? When you become published, would it be under the name Enigma?
I have met two physically in person (Desire and Tracita)… there are a handful of others (probably 5-8 people) who have seen my picture, are on my facebook, following my Instagram or some variation of those things and— basically "know who I am" although we haven't met in person. Also, I have given more people in my personal social circle the link (so they are now readers) and know me on a different level. You don't know how much I have battled with the whole anonymous thing. I really like it, but I also don't completely feel it is necessary and I know you guys are curious. When I publish, I will maintain Enigma as a pen-name regardless of whether I am anonymous or not… She is my writing ego.
10. You mentioned a while back that your mom had met Desire. How does she feel about yall no longer being together?
It's interesting because as much as I know she isn't amused by my sexuality, she really liked her. She had nothing negative to say about her and welcomed her with open arms. I mean, these two were in the kitchen making breakfast "porridge" together one day and it was clear they didn't need my presence. *side eye* In fact, our last visit up, I was so tired I think Desire spent more time awake and bonding with her than I did. Anyways, although my mom didn't say it explicitly, I think she was sad about the breakup.. partially because I have been hurting over it and partially because she really did like her and was building their own bond with her.
11. You write often about sex, masturbation, etc… Have you always been so sexually liberated?
Ha! Nope. Anyone who I dated prior to the age of about 20 can tell you that I was a straight prude. Homo and all, there were still certain things that felt "awkward" to me. But around my 20th birthday, something switched and there was no turning back. I guess that was my sexual awakening. *shrug* either way, I have been um… LIBERATED ever since && thank goodness! Haha. viva la orgasm!
12. If Desire wanted to come back and try again would you take her back?
You asked me this question before and please don't think that I am avoiding it. Truth be told, I don't know how to answer this. When Desire and I had the conversation(s) about breaking up, I believe wholeheartedly that she meant what she said in walking away from the relationship. It is hard for me to think that she wants me back… I don't think that she does. I think she is happier now. But who really knows how she feels? It has been months since the break up and I haven't received any indication that she wants me back, misses me, wants the relationship, etc… so it is hard to think "what if she wanted to come back" because I just don't see it… but again, who really knows? Anyways… all of that to say, I was once told, "You can only fight for a relationship when someone is willing to get in the ring with you".. and I told her a long time ago that I would always be willing to do so. If I am being honest with myself, I don't think I would turn my back on her now. IDK—call me silly, but I still believe what we had was real.

White House Warns of Dire Defense Cuts
Military - and embassy security - will be slashed unless Congress acts
Image: the Guardian
A "sword of Damocles" hangs over America's national defense, in the form of $120 billion spending cuts scheduled for the end of 2012. The cuts will have dire effects on military readiness and equipment, warns a White House report leaked today - and will include $129m slashed from embassy security. Defense officials add that the military would be quite simply "hollowed out" by the cutbacks.
The cuts are part of the "sequester" agreed on in the debt ceiling deal last summer. According to the deal, the only way to avert the sequester is for Congress to cut the debt by $1.2 trillion, by raising taxes and cutting spending.

In a "celebration" of past Daring Baker and Daring Cook challenges, Lisa challenged all of us to search through the Daring Kitchen archives and pick any one we'd like! The REAL challenge was picking which delicious recipe(s) to try!
What a great challenge for July 2013!
Truely, the problem was choosing which recipe to try.
As much as I would have loved to try quite a few recipes, July was a time-poor month for me so I only got around to making one recipe.
I decided on a Danish Braid, one of the earlier challenges at Daring Bakers dating back to June 2008 and was hosted by Kelly of Sass & Veracity and Ben of What's Cookin'?.
I have provided the recipe exactly as the original hosts supplied with my few notes in red.
A delicious danish and a great challenge!
Makes 2-1/2 pounds dough
For the dough (Detrempe)
1 ounce fresh yeast or 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/2 cup whole milk
1/3 cup sugar
Zest of 1 orange, finely grated
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
2 large eggs, chilled
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
For the butter block (Beurrage)
1/2 pound (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Combine yeast and milk in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed. Slowly add sugar, orange zest, cardamom, vanilla extract, vanilla seeds, eggs, and orange juice. Mix well. Change to the dough hook and add the salt with the flour, 1 cup at a time, increasing speed to medium as the flour is incorporated. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, or until smooth. You may need to add a little more flour if it is sticky. Transfer dough to a lightly floured baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
1. Combine butter and flour in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle and then beat for 1 minute more, or until smooth and lump free. Set aside at room temperature.
2. After the detrempe has chilled 30 minutes, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 18 x 13 inches and ¼ inch thick. The dough may be sticky, so keep dusting it lightly with flour. Spread the butter evenly over the center and right thirds of the dough.
Fold the left edge of the detrempe to the right, covering half of the butter.
Fold the right third of the rectangle over the center third. The first turn has now been completed. Mark the dough by poking it with your finger to keep track of your turns, or use a sticky and keep a tally. Place the dough on a baking sheet, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes
Place the dough lengthwise on a floured work surface. The open ends should be to your right and left. Roll the dough into another approximately 13 x 18 inch, ¼-inch-thick rectangle. Again, fold the left third of the rectangle over the center third and the right third over the center third.
No additional butter will be added as it is already in the dough. The second turn has now been completed. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
Roll out, turn, and refrigerate the dough two more times, for a total of four single turns. Make sure you are keeping track of your turns. Refrigerate the dough after the final turn for at least 5 hours or overnight. The Danish dough is now ready to be used. If you will not be using the dough within 24 hours, freeze it. To do this, roll the dough out to about 1 inch in thickness, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze. Defrost the dough slowly in the refrigerator for easiest handling. Danish dough will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Makes enough for 2 large braids
1 recipe Danish Dough (see above)
2 cups apple filling, jam, or preserves (see below)
For the egg wash: 1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
1. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll the Danish Dough into a 15 x 20-inch rectangle, ¼ inch thick. (I divided the dough in half and rolled a rectangle to 1/4inch thick - it was about 15 x 15 inch) If the dough seems elastic and shrinks back when rolled, let it rest for a few minutes, then roll again. Place the dough on the baking sheet.
Along one long side of the pastry make parallel, 5-inch-long cuts with a knife or rolling pastry wheel, each about 1 inch apart. Repeat on the opposite side, making sure to line up the cuts with those you've already made.
Spoon the filling you've chosen to fill your braid down the center of the rectangle.
Starting with the top and bottom "flaps", fold the top flap down over the filling to cover. Next, fold the bottom "flap" up to cover filling. This helps keep the braid neat and helps to hold in the filling. Now begin folding the cut side strips of dough over the filling, alternating first left, then right, left, right, until finished.
Trim any excess dough and tuck in the ends.
Egg Wash
Whisk together the whole egg and yolk in a bowl and with a pastry brush, lightly coat the braid.
Proofing and Baking
Spray cooking oil onto a piece of plastic wrap, and place over the braid. Proof at room temperature or, if possible, in a controlled 90F/32C environment for about 2 hours, or until doubled in volume and light to the touch.
Near the end of proofing, preheat oven to 400F/200C. Position a rack in the center of the oven.
Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the pan so that the side of the braid previously in the back of the oven is now in the front. Lower the oven temperature to 350F/180C, and bake about 15-20 minutes more, or until golden brown.
Cool and serve the braid either still warm from the oven or at room temperature. The cooled braid can be wrapped airtight and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or freeze for 1 month. -
Makes enough for two braids ( I used the full quantity for half the dough)
4 Fuji or other apples, peeled, cored, and cut into ¼-inch pieces
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Toss all ingredients except butter in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat until slightly nutty in color, about 6 – 8 minutes. Then add the apple mixture and sauté until apples are softened and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes. If you've chosen Fujis, the apples will be caramelized, but have still retained their shape. Pour the cooked apples onto a baking sheet to cool completely before forming the braid. (If making ahead, cool to room temperature, seal, and refrigerate.) They will cool faster when spread in a thin layer over the surface of the sheet. After they have cooled, the filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Left over filling can be used as an ice cream topping, for muffins, cheesecake, or other pastries.
