Below are the Conditions we have the Most Expertise in Treating
Dr. MacMIillan has a great deal of experience treating muscle and joint problems from head to toe. This includes Postural Issues, Lack of Flexibility/Stiffness, Strained or Tight Muscles, Joint Stiffness & Sprains, Balance & Coordination issues.
- Back Pain & Stiffness: Most issues are joint, muscle, ligament, disc, nerve related. The source must be identified and then any potential contributing factors tested such as core muscle function/imbalances, hip/back/rib flexibility, breathing among others.
- Neck Pain & Stiffness: Also usually related to joint, muscle, ligament, disc, or nerve. Common issues with neck problems are breathing from the neck muscles, posture, holding excess tension, neck instability from injuries such as whiplash.
- Shoulder Injuries and Mobility Problems: Your shoulder relies heavily on the position and motion of your shoulder blade. This must be assessed in all shoulder issues in addition to breathing and rib mobility, which have a large impact on shoulder blade health. These areas must be addressed along with the main source of shoulder pain, which must also be addressed whether it be tendon, muscle or nerve related.
- Hip Injuries and Mobility Problems: While the shoulder often suffers from instability the hip more commonly lacks mobility, which must be addressed in addition to assuring pelvis, lower back, and core/breathing control are functioning properly. Foot issues can be another source of hip problems (knees to a lesser extent)
- Knee Problems: when knees start to develop problems (except in sudden twists etc...) it is generally an issue above or below: (hip/pelvis/back), and/or feet/ankles which are not functioning well to add excess stress to the knees.
- Ankle & Foot: (Ankle Sprains, Balance & Mobility Issues): Ankle issues are a very common cause of problems all the way through the body. Your ankle/foot is your first point of contact with the ground and has to absorb force and allow motion.
- Elbow movement issues and pain (i.e. tennis or golfers elbow): It is key to check the joints above and below the elbow (wrist, shoulder, neck) along with local problems at the elbow.
- Wrist Complaints: (clicking, movement issues, pain, tendinitis).
- Repetitive Strain Injuries (i.e. Tendonitis, carpal Tunnel): Repetitive movements can cause certain tissues to develop thickenings and other issues. It is key to assess the activities and movements throughout the body to be sure there is no other area contributing to the excessive strain.
- Headaches: many headaches originate from the muscles and joints of the neck into the head. Common issues include upper/mid back postural/movement problems, breathing issues, forwad neck posture, neck injuries/weakness/instability.
- Sports Injuries: Extensive experience with all sorts of sports injuries. Especially recurring injuries in hamstrings, shoulders, groin, lower back and more
- Arthritis: I can work on improving movement in the joint and surrounding muscles and guide you towards proper exercise to slow the progression and reduce pain
- Numbness + Tingling + Radiating pain into the legs and/or arms: Normally caused by nerve compression (need to look at blood flow in all cases as well)
- Breathing Issues: Shortness of breath, Snoring, Sleep Apnea, Rib Stiffness and Pain. Improving rib motion, diaphragm muscle activity and breathing habits can have a huge impact on all these issues (Must check for other issues with the heart and lungs to rule them out in many cases)
- TMJ/Jaw Issues: Jaw muscles can become very overactive for numerous reasons (stress, poor muscle activity or injuries in the neck or lower back/core, and from a host of dental problems, which may need to be addressed in conjunction with a dental professional). TMJ and headaches can often come together and often for overlapping reasons.

Fire dep't had to pay twice as much to lift throttling during wildfire response.
Verizon Wireless' throttling of a fire department that uses its data services has been submitted as evidence in a lawsuit that seeks to reinstate federal net neutrality rules.
"County Fire has experienced throttling by its ISP, Verizon," Santa Clara County Fire Chief Anthony Bowden wrote in a declaration. "This throttling has had a significant impact on our ability to provide emergency services. Verizon imposed these limitations despite being informed that throttling was actively impeding County Fire's ability to provide crisis-response and essential emergency services."
Bowden's declaration was submitted in an addendum to a brief filed by 22 state attorneys general, the District of Columbia, Santa Clara County, Santa Clara County Central Fire Protection District, and the California Public Utilities Commission. The government agencies are seeking to overturn the recent repeal of net neutrality rules in a lawsuit they filed against the Federal Communications Commission in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Paris, France -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/21/2018 -- Hubezoo has launched their ICO on May 15th, offering Unagold tokens at a 35% discount. The ICO launch is expected to be one of the largest of 2018.
Hubezoo is introducing a quantum blockchain protocol and internetwork platform. Hubezoo's multi – platform structure introduces an all – inclusive internetwork for social media, information and e-commerce.
The structure combines a quantum blockchain with AI, building an innovative infrastructure for the next technology.
With the organizational framework, Hubezoo hyperspeeds searches and assists with secure and faster transactions. The platform is also designed to create more interactivity with social media. By organizing information and providing a navigation platform, it offers a transparent and fluid formula for online interactivity.
Hubezoo is guided by AI – IA. This is an interactive analytics formula which disseminates information. With the use of AI, it guides users to solutions quickly and easily. With AI – IA and a quantum algorithm, trust and transparency are at the forefront of the application.
The platform is expected to provide faster and fluid transactions with big data organization, monetary systems and with socio – cultural dynamics which are online. Unlike today's platforms, it challenges technology to a new level of functionality to build trust, transparency and prosperity.
The Hubezoo Token: Unagold
The protocol is backed by the Hubezoo's official token, Unagold. There are currently 200 million tokens available at $1.50, or .0026 ETH. To start their ICO, Hubezoo is offering all tokens at a 35% discount.
The token acts as an open, revolving door. It interchanges with traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies, big data and smart contracts.
Unagold works as its own currency while opening fluid transactions with other blockchains and centralized networks, creating an equilibrium between all institutions and technologies, such as blockchain and traditional banking system.
Unagold is designed to create a centralized – decentralized approach. The quantum applications create a stronger interface which balances between traditional and innovative techniques for currencies.
The approach of Unagold token is designed to create sustainability and prosperity. By increasing the fluidity of transactions, there are new opportunities for those using the token.
The transfer of the token not only impacts the transfers which are made within the monetary system. It also integrates job opportunities, offering sustainable prosperity with the interface between the Hubezoo protocol and the Unagold token.
The Innovative Protocol for Trust
Hubezoo offers a platform from a tech triad, specifically to offer trust to the global community. This is a combination of a bank, government and shopping hub. The tech triad is designed to offer security, privacy and a transparent network.
At an early stage, this platform is being compared to the Tech Titans because it has similar revenue potential and continuous expansion.
ICO Launch and Details
With the recent launch of the Hubezoo, investors can get involved with the first phase of the token available through an ERC-20 Ethereum contract.
The phase 1 launch is offering 200,000,000 Unagold tokens. With the launch, a 35% discount is offered from the .0026 ETH per token, available through the end of June.
The allocation of funds are designated for the development of the Hubezoo protocol, which will be launched in August of 2018. The first phase of the protocol is Bankezoo, designed as the core of the platform for transactions while 60% of the funds will be allocated for the public.

Rabbit anti-SFRS8/SWAP Antibody, Affinity Purified - A300-985A - 20 µg - Bethyl Laboratories, Inc. - antibodies
Antibody was affinity purified using an epitope specific to SFRS8/SWAP immobilized on solid support. The epitope recognized by A300-985A maps to a region between residue 500 and 550 of human splicing factor, arginine/serine-rich 8 using the numbering given in entry NP_004583.2 (GeneID 6433). Immunoglobulin concentration was determined by extinction coefficient: absorbance at 280 nm of 1.4 equals 1.0 mg of IgG.
Detection of human SFRS8/SWAP by western blot and immunoprecipitation. Samples: Whole cell lysate (5, 15 and 50 µg for WB; 1 mg for IP, 20% of IP loaded) from HeLa cells. Antibodies: Affinity purified rabbit anti-SFRS8/SWAP antibody A300-985A used for WB at 0.04 µg/ml (A) and 1 µg/ml (B) and used for IP at 3 µg/mg lysate (B). SFRS8/SWAP was also immunoprecipitated by rabbit anti-SFRS8/SWAP antibody BL4340, which recognizes an upstream epitope. Detection: Chemiluminescence with exposure times of 3 minutes (A) and 30 seconds (B).

Lauren Jauregui Admits She Was Terrified of Songwriting Until…
Fans of Fifth Harmony can't wait to hear Lauren Jauregui's solo songs and they are eyeing June 6th, when she heads to South America to open for Halsey to see if she unveils any new songs that she wrote herself.
What's remarkable is she probably wrote them within the past month.
Lauren opened up about her insecurities in a series of tweets, writing:
"I actually only started writing actual songs this year. I had only written two songs in my life completely that I thought were ok and I was too scared of failure to try until my world shifted earlier this year. My first song was in February. Wrote 2 more after."
Following it up with:
"& the rest of the songs you'll hear I've actually written within the past 3 weeks/month. Literally in the studio every day just opening the floodgates of all the stuff I never let myself say. So..yeah lol never give up on yourself and DO IT ANYWAY BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY GET BETTER."

Maintenance of solar panels
Solar panels demand little or no maintenance at all. The panels will "take care of themselves" and only the transformer will have to be maintained and, sometimes, replaced.
Follow this little guide and you will benefit from everything you solar panel system has to offer.
- Look out for dirt on your panels regularly. They are very sensitive to shadow, as this reduces performance. Normally it is enough to let the rain clean up the panels. However, always pay attention that there are not leaves or other things caught on the panels.
- If the panels are installed in a property close to the coast, salt deposits can be grouped and should be washed off in order to keep the performance of the solar panels.
- The cables used to assemble the panels can be affected by the sunlight.
Overall, a very manageable task.
If you want more info about the maintenance or plan a yearly maintenance of the whole installation ask us!

Keene State College tuition is $11,188 per year for in-state residents. This is 59% more expensive than the national average public four year tuition of $7,203. The cost is 53% cheaper than the average New Hampshire tuition of $24,559 for 4 year colleges. Tuition ranks 3rd in New Hampshire amongst 4 year colleges for affordability and is the 16th most expensive 4 year college in the state. If attending from out-of-state, the tuition is $19,934 which represents a 78% premium.
The school charges an additional fees of $2,680 in addition to tuition bringing the total effective in-state tuition to $13,868.
On campus room and board is provided by the school at a cost of $10,666 per academic year. Students electing to live off campus elsewhere in Keene should budget at least this amount.

Depending on many factors including student and parent income and assets, the total cost of attendance may be less than the $27,284 published price if scholarship or grant aid is made available to you.
The net out-of-pocket total cost you end up paying or financing though student loans is known as the net price. The reported KSC net price for in-state students is $18,899* for the 2014/2015 academic year. This net price includes housing and meal expenses.
80% of Keene State College students received grant aid in 2014/2015. The average total aid amount was $6,318. 25 percent of students received aid in the form of Pell Grants from the U.S. Federal Government. The average Pell Grant awarded for 2014/2015 was $3,970.

When considering ability to pay for college, the annual cost is often discussed but it's the "all in" multi-year degree cost which matters in the end. Let's take a look at what it could really cost for four years at Keene State College.
At the current published rates, an estimated total tuition, fees and living expense price for a 4 year bachelor's degree at KSC is $109,136 for students graduating in normal time. This methodology for estimating the 4 year cost is a straight multiple of the most recent reported annual total cost and does not factor in tuition increases during the time you're in school. It also assumes you receive no grant or scholarship aid and pay the full list price.
A potentially more accurate but less conservative estimate of a degree cost can be made by using the school's annual $15,031 in-state net price as the basis. Applying this cost over 4 would estimate the cost of a degree at $60,124**
If you end up on the "five year plan" and need an additional year to graduate, your five year cost could be as high as $136,420 or $75,155 using an average net price.
**Based on a 4 year multiple of Average Annual Net Price for in state students receiving grant or scholarship aid reported to the U.S. Department of Education's 2014-2015 IPEDS Survey. Financial aid is only available to those who qualify. Consult this school's net price calculator for further understanding of your potential net price.
Most colleges don't charge students on an annual basis but instead require payment semester by semester. If you ever need to take an additional semester of classes to complete you degree you shouldn't have to pay for a full academic year. These our estimated costs for a semester at Keene State College.
|New Hampshire Resident Tuition Per Semester

Some schools offer the ability to take single classes by paying on a per credit hour basis. The reported price per credit hour and estimated cost for one class at Keene State College are as follows. Per credit costs are for reference only as many schools will not allow students to pay by credit hour.
|Price per credit hour for New Hampshire residents
|Cost for one class for New Hampshire residents (3 credit hours)
|Price per credit hour for out of state residents
|Cost for one class for out of state residents (3 credit hours)
|Cost for one class for out of state residents (4 credit hours)
The second consideration after understanding the cost of college is determining how to finance it. Some students are fortunate enough to have some form of family financial assistance, but student loans end up financing a significant portion of higher education in the U.S. 76% of Keene State College students receive U.S. Federal Student Loans with an average annual Federal Loan aid amount of $5,838.
How much are student loan payments for Keene State College? Obviously this varies based on a number of factors - offsetting financial aid you receive, percentage of fee you pay upfront while enrolled and the interest rate on your loans. We've modeled a sample student loan based on current Stafford loan rates to give you an approximate idea.
The following are the costs for a loan if you borrowed $60,124, 100% of the estimated average net price for a four year program and paid nothing while enrolled. The total of all payments including interest would sum $74,600.10. This could be your effective total out of pocket cost of an education at Keene State College. Note that this calculation assumes you don't pay full list price tuition, are part of the reported 80% of students at this school who receive financial aid and you are paying an average annual net price of $15,031. If you do not financially qualify for a reduced net price, your student loan payments could be significantly higher than this example. Use our Keene State College student loan calculator below to change loan assumptions and recalculate.
Student loans are not free money and must be repaid. You cannot dismiss student loans by via bankruptcy.
|Example Payments
|Monthly Loan Payment
|Amount Borrowed
|Interest Rate
|10 years
|Number of Monthly Payments
|Total Interest Cost
|Sum of All Payments over 10 years
Can I afford to attend KSC? In the end, the answer comes down a determination if you will earn enough to comfortably pay back a student loan with your post graduation salary. This is an extremely important point to consider. In order to afford student loan payments and still meet all your other costs of living, it is recommended not to borrow more than you can pay back using 10% of your monthly income earned after graduation. If you're considering attending Keene State College, you need to carefully consider if it will be realistic to make the post graduation loan payments based on your expected salary.
Using the 10% of salary threshold, an annual income of $74,600.10 would be needed to afford a $621.67 monthly payment in the example $60,124.00 loan modeled above. You will need to determine if it is at all realistic that you will be earning this type of salary after graduation. This assumes a loan payback over 10 years. You can change the terms of this example loan using the student loan calculator below.
What will it cost to send your child to Keene State College in the future? In the past four years, this school's published in-state tuition and fee total rose from $10,410 to $11,188. This amounts to an average annual price increase of 1.5%. Nationally, university tuition prices are rising around 5% per year. Looking out five, ten, fifteen or eighteen years, these are CollegeCalc's estimates how much you could expect to pay for a 4 year degree assuming tuition increases at the national average rate. Estimated future prices are based on the current in-state 4 year cost of $109,136.00. Use the college savings plan calculator below to perform a more comprehensive analysis on future costs and how much you will need to save for Keene State College.

Get Real Comics #1
[The Tides Center/COLLAGE $1.95 US $2.75 CAN]
Written by Debbie Rogow & Sherri Grasmuck / Art by Charley Parker
Click Here For A Sample Page
If Archie Andrews and the gang had started out as a comic in the 90s without the emphasis on gags Get Real Comics is what that series might have resembled. This all-ages comic consists of vignettes about a group of high school kids and how they deal with well, being a kid in high school in the 90s. The full-color artwork is perfectly suited to the stories. The kids look like kids and the cast is ethnically diverse. The light stories and the down-to-earth artwork make for a good addition to the ever-growing list of female friendly comics.
I know issue #2 is out as well so if youre interested in tracking this series down and cant find it locally write Get Real Comics, 709 West Mt. Airy Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19119-3323.

The Trump administration is planning to consolidate welfare programs and rename the Health and Human Services Department, Politico reports.
Why it matters: It may not actually happen — big changes like this usually have to be approved by Congress. However, it shows that the Trump administration is trying to act on ideas promoted by the conservative Heritage Foundation, which has been pushing to move programs to HHS in the name of efficiency. If the reorganization did happen, those health care and social programs could also become an easier target for budget cuts.

Welcome To Motherhood
By: Tracy Bagnato
I struggled with anorexia and bulimia for ten years before seeking treatment. I had lost myself over the course of that ten years to an inanimate object. I wasn't living for Tracy, I was living for something I would never achieve…perfection, or what I thought was perfection. My struggles continued through college and into my marriage.
I do not know what changed in the winter of 2016, but I do know I recognized that I needed help. I sat on the couch crying hysterically and called my husband to tell him how badly I was struggling. Within weeks, I was on a plane to a treatment center to get my life back.
I spent 57 days in treatment at Remuda Ranch, and I could not be more thankful. During my time in treatment I dealt with my trauma, learned how to love myself and how to nourish my body - recognizing that food is not the enemy. I was finally able to reconnect with Tracy and who I am as a person.
Treatment was the hardest thing I had ever done up to that point in my life. I truly learned a lot about myself and about my relationship with food. I told myself that it would be the one and only time I would go to treatment, which still stands true to this day.
I certainly had many ups and downs. Upon leaving treatment, I had some slips and a relapse, but each time I picked myself back up and continued on my journey. I was able to do this with a strong support system: my husband, dietician and therapist.
Last July, I got my first real period in years - I never knew I'd be so happy to have it! Even when I was on the pill to regulate my periods, I wasn't getting it because of my eating disorder.
My husband and I had talked about having a family for a while, and I wavered back and forth between wanting kids and not being so sure. My ghosts were haunting me. I didn't know if I would be able to have children so I covered it by saying I didn't know if I wanted any.
Well, all it took was that one period, and the next month I was pregnant! We welcomed our baby girl on May 14th, 2018 (just shy of a Mother's Day baby). The months leading up to her birth were the most amazing months.
While in treatment, I tried to utilize the skill of loving my body for what it did and not what it looked like. This tactic worked on occasion, but I finally embraced my body for what it could do during my pregnancy. The road to recovery is not linear, but I do know that after experiencing one of life's most cherished gifts, relapse is not on my agenda.
The body of a woman is an amazing thing. Our bodies were made to carry and grow a human life. For nine months, only I could nourish and grow her, and now that she is here, not only do I need to stay in recovery to have the energy to care for her, I want to be the role model she deserves.
When I start to have any self-doubt, body image struggles, or feelings of relapse, I will remember how amazing I am, how amazing my body is, and that I was born with a purpose.
Tracy has been happily married for six years to her husband Stefan. She is a new mom to a little girl, Giuliana, and a mom to two cats and a rabbit! Tracy is a Youth Services Librarian in North Carolina and loves reading, coffee and the color pink.
By: Maura Hawfield
I remember being 9 or 10, and my friend and I were about to go swimming at the neighborhood pool. We had matching swimsuits that were laid out on her bed. I remember her picking up the bottoms, and saying "Oh, these are medium and I'm not that big, mine are size small". I was young, so I remember thinking, "huh, weird...okay well let's go do flips in the pool and go on our merry way." It didn't consume me.
Fast forward a year or two, and my negative body image started to form. I was taller than most girls and all of the boys. On top of that, I developed fairly early. I realized I was a little different.
Then the teenage years came. That's when I really started to notice how different my body was. What a sweet set up for high school, right? Don't get me wrong, I definitely enjoyed high school and made great friends, but I had my struggles. Not only did I feel that my body was different, I was starting to notice how uncomfortable I was in my body. I looked at all the other girls I was surrounded by daily and started to compare. "Her legs are smaller than mine. I definitely don't wear the same size dress as that girl. She has smaller arms than I do, that must be why she has a boyfriend and I don't." It was a tape that played in my head. I wanted to be in basically anyone else's body but my own.
Around this time of budding teenage angst, I realized I had some "binge eating" behaviors. I was about 16 or 17, and I remember coming home feeling anxious. I reached into the pantry and before I knew it, I had eaten a whole box of Cheez Its. This didn't happen every day, but that moment shifted the way I saw food. I started habits of hiding when I ate, so no one could see how much or what I ate. I started to eat when I felt anxious. When I was 18 and about to go to college, I knew something was a little off, but I couldn't really figure out what it was.
College arrived in a fast and furious manner. I turned to food even more than I did in high school. I saw food as a way to heal or solve any unwanted or unsettling emotions. I saw food as an escape from my body. I also was introduced to shame. Shame went basically everywhere I went. I felt shame almost every time I got dressed in "going out" clothes, every time I ate something "unhealthy" and every time I didn't do something perfectly right. It would constantly tell me, "you're fat. You don't deserve to wear shorts. You are not smart. You are not worthy." So as you can imagine, I was constantly disappointing myself. This ever-present disappointment turned into depression. I didn't want to get out bed. I didn't want to be seen or go out with my friends. I made excuses for almost everything, and I missed out on a lot.
As the years went on, I continued to use food to numb the fact that I was so uncomfortable in my own skin. It got the point that I would look in the mirror and be completely dissatisfied with what I saw. Not only did I use food but sometimes alcohol too. It took a lot of trial and error to get to a healthier place with alcohol.
As these behaviors and unsettling emotions started to form, it became the perfect storm. I was using food as anything but nourishment. Honestly, anything. Anxious? Eat. Sad? Eat. Happy? Eat. Mad? Eat. I had no healthy coping skills for any of these emotions.
Food and a negative body image truly took control over my life by the time I was 21. I started to really isolate and hide myself. I missed out on so many things. I didn't go out because I felt like I wasn't worthy of getting dressed up, missing out on fun sorority events. I didn't feel like I was worthy to be seen. I felt paranoid every single time I went out and someone looked at me because I though they were looking at my body in disgust. I can look back on some of my college experience with fondness, but it's mostly consumed with shame. For those years in particular, I felt extremely disconnected. I had no true connection to myself and didn't feel like I had a true identity. I was completely and utterly lost.
The few years after college were 'okay'. I like to refer to them as the between years. I had a job. I went on a few diets, exercised on and off and felt fairly "happy". But even after going on diets, losing weight, and getting compliments that I so badly craved, I realized that I still wasn't happy. I was never satisfied with what I saw in the mirror.
So here I am, 25, trying to understand why can I not get this problem under control. Am I crazy? What's wrong with me? Why can't I just go on a diet? I'll lose weight and finally be happy! Everyone seems to be so normal and I have all these problems. What am I doing wrong?
I entered treatment on June 26 of this year. It was the best decision I've ever made. I have binge eating disorder, and even though it's not the most well known eating disorder, it's the most common. Binge eating disorder is frequently overeating due to distress or lack of control. It goes beyond the feeling of stuffed or eating a lot just on occasion and it's usually followed by more distress, shame and embarrassment.
The thing that I have realized by being in treatment is how rooted in secrecy and shame eating disorders are. I've been pretending everything's ok when it's not just for the sake of others, and for the sake of not truly feeling those uncomfortable emotions. Quite honestly, I'm pretty done being secretive and harboring intense shame.
It's so exhausting to go through life like that. I've done it for seven years. As I go through the recovery process, I'm realizing how important authenticity is and that I be open with my struggles. By being open, it helps people understand me more.
I hope that after reading this, people not only have a better understanding of binge eating disorder, but a better understanding of me. I know now that it's important for you to be kind to yourself, to trust yourself, and to know that you're worth fighting for...no matter what.

LONDON LOVE 2/4 because: they shine
6 comments:
I love them both but that house candle holder is amazingly beautiful. I don't like being biased either but I really believe that Japanese people have a special gift for delicate touch and a really amazing attention to detail, I've seen evidence of that across so many fields (food, architecture, model building etc), but most prominently in art.ReplyDelete
Oh Maki, that candle holder is fantastic and the way you've photographed it is perfect. I think the attention to detail in Japanese are is so fantastic. Look at the candle holder you've shown - the way the light and shadows are an extension of the art of the ceramic. Amazing.ReplyDelete
Wonderful candle holder! I love how the light shines in there (your photo is beautiful). And I have a real weakness for moose...ReplyDelete
Both of these works are amazing Maki! How fortunate you are to see them in person. I can imagine how proud you must feel to have a connection with these artists. =)ReplyDelete
Ohhh this little house is amazing...I didn't notice the moose inside at first...a wonderful piece...did you buy it?ReplyDelete
that candle holder is so pretty!ReplyDelete

· the primary goal of the 42 inch, 177 mi. Atlantic Sunrise expansion of the TRANSCO is export to global markets via, for example, Dominion Energy's planned 3.8 billion dollar Cove Point Liquefaction Project—recently approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) over 650 registered comments, virtually all of them opposed?
· the ecological costs—borne by taxpayers—of Williams' pipeline project include forest fragmentation, soil compaction, escalated flooding potential, water and air pollution—including possible exposure to carcinogens as well as neurotoxins?
· the Atlantic Sunrise expansion will require compressor stations attended by their own unique hazards—including the emission of ozone, volatile organic compounds and other toxins, as well as the potential for explosion? Do you know that the explosion radius of any one of these compressors can exceed a half-mile?
· no Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was required for issue of the permit at Cove Point?
· Williams has a very disturbing record of pipeline leaks and explosions, several which have resulted in human casualties?
· the natural gas industry's own estimate is that –with this massive pipeline infrastructure in place—as many as 100,000 hydraulically fractured—fracked— wells could be on the horizon for Pennsylvanians?
· the Department of Environmental Protection has finally released its report of at least 243 instances of drinking well contamination directly due to fracking since 2008? There are currently about 8200 operating unconventional gas wells in the state. Can you imagine the potential for contamination from 100,000?
· FERC has approved three other LNG export projects, all in the Gulf of Mexico: the Sabine Pass Liquefaction Project, the Freeport LNG Project, and the Cameron LNG Project. Are you aware that fourteen LNG export proposals are pending, but expect approval?

Sydney Casely-Hayford, is described in the media as a Financial Analyst, this accolade we only hear on Citi FM, where he had been given a platform to perpetuate his twisted views every Saturday morning.
Unfortunately, we do not see what he has done to deserve the title of a Financial Analyst, except to say, he claims to be familiar with numbers, which many people in Ghana can also lay claim to, even Makola women.
For some time now, like many of his ilk, who are hiding behind funny titles and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to advance their political interest, has not seen anything good in the President, John Dramani Mahama and his government.
It is within his Constitutional right to associate with any political persuasion of his choice, but to suggest that Paul Adom Otchere, host of Metro TV's Good Evening Ghana, took 'Soli' from the President before hosting him on his show last Thursday, was just balderdash.
The man was simply doing his job, Casely Hayford, saw nothing wrong, when Paul hosted Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, days before the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) National Delegate's Congress.
He made this unfortunate comment on Citi FM's, "The Big Issue" last Saturday, he is by extension admitting that he is also compromised and that anytime he takes on the government, the opposition pays his bills and has bought his conscience, or perhaps, the veil has just been stripped off his face and we all know him for who he is.
After Paul's interview with the President last Thursday, a documentary detailing the ten years achievement of IMANI-Ghana was also shown, does it mean that Paul has taken'Soli' from, Franklin Cudjoe?
Again, Paul wrote an article captioned, "Paul Adom-Otchere Writes to IMANI President – "More Grease To Your Elbows," which was published in the Daily Graphic, Ghana's widely circulated newspaper.
Does it mean that money changed hands before Metro TV showed the documentary, or Paul was paid to write the article published in the Daily Graphic extolling the virtues of IMANI?
There's the urgent need to restore value to the depleted elites. We must set apart the chaff from the true citizens, who are contributing meaningfully and constructively to the development of the country.
All responsible and forward thinking journalists, must rise to the defense of Paul Adom Otchere, this is simply not fair to journalists.

With the skies are clear, a total lunar eclipse paired with a larger-than-average moon was a great way to finish up your Sunday evening.
Photo Gallery
It kicked off in the evening around 9 p.m. The total eclipse was just before 11 p.m., and it finished up just after 1 a.m.
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is essentially throwing shade on the moon. As we pass in between the moon and the sun, our shadow is cast all over the lunar surface, leaving a window of a few hours to observe this phenomenon.
In the last 17 months, there have been four lunar eclipses, so these aren't completely rare. In terms of a supermoon eclipse, when the moon is at its closest point: our last one was in 1982, and we won't have another until 2033. The good news is that almost everyone in the western hemisphere could see it, along with many of those in Europe and western Africa.
Did you hear about the time a lunar eclipse saved Christopher Columbus's life? On the island of Jamaica in 1504, Columbus was frustrated with the lack of cooperation from the local Arawak people. Using his knowledge of astronomy, and with help from an almanac he owned, he knew there was an upcoming lunar eclipse a few days later. He told the local people that his God was mad with them for their lack of cooperation and would make it known in the sky. Sure enough, the Arawaks were astounded to see the eclipse, and followed everything Columbus said from that point on.

Disaster Management: Empirical Study
Emergency and disaster management is a field of study in which people would study the way to make communities stronger when a disaster strikes. A disaster could be man made or natural, and the disaster management field allows people to better understand the process of coping and dealing with large-scale natural disasters. This is a discipline that has been developed to help communities and people understand the process of natural disasters and how to deal with natural disasters and their aftermath. It is now possible to gain a degree in disaster management, and universities and colleges are offering degrees in disaster management as a field of study.
Disaster management programs and courses help people to understand disasters and the process of getting through a natural disaster. People are able to study disaster management and then they can help out and assist with the efforts after the disaster strikes. People who study disaster management will be able to study a variety of information related to the disaster. They learn how to respond to a range of uncertain disasters and how to manage these events and plan for them. They also learn how to anticipate issues and how to evaluate different methods that will help them to make decisions that are good for the entire community and disaster response. People with also work with other emergency response persons in order to work together to rectify situations and to make a difference in the lives of people who have been affected by a natural disaster. Most disaster relief programs offer a traveling program where participants are able to view disaster zones firsthand. People in the programs will often travel to multiple places where disasters have occurred and will be able to determine the actual outcome of natural disasters. It is also important to study disaster technologies and ways that technology is helping to warn communities about natural disasters.
Disaster management is an important field of study that can help people to better understand disasters and how to rebound and come back from both natural and man made disasters. It is important that people know how to react in an emergency, and that some people are educated and trained in reacting to these disasters so that they can lead other people. Those who are educated can also create a plan of action for communities in order to make people feel more comfortable should a disaster strike.

The Northern Ireland Assembly (Irish: Tionól Thuaisceart Éireann,[1] Ulster Scots: Norlin Airlann Semmlie)[2] is the devolved legislature of Northern Ireland. It has power to legislate in a wide range of areas that are not explicitly reserved to the Parliament of the United Kingdom, and to appoint the Northern Ireland Executive. It sits at Parliament Buildings at Stormont in Belfast.
The latest incarnation of the Assembly was established under the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, an accord aimed at bringing an end to Northern Ireland's violent 30-year Troubles. It is based on the principle of power-sharing under the D'Hondt method to ensure that Northern Ireland's largest political communities, the unionist and nationalist communities both participate in governing the region. The Assembly is a unicameral, democratically elected body comprising 108 members who are known as Members of the Legislative Assembly, or MLAs. Members are elected under the single transferable vote form of proportional representation.
The Assembly has been suspended on several occasions, the longest suspension being from 14 October 2002 until 7 May 2007. When the Assembly was suspended, its powers reverted to the Northern Ireland Office. Following talks that resulted in the St Andrews Agreement being accepted in November 2006, an election to the Assembly was held on 7 March 2007 and full power was restored to the devolved institutions on 8 May 2007.[3]

From 7 June 1921 until 30 March 1972, the devolved legislature for Northern Ireland was the Parliament of Northern Ireland. That Parliament consistently chose the Ulster Unionist Party to govern the region. The Parliament was suspended on 30 March 1972 and formally abolished in 1973 under the Northern Ireland Constitution Act 1973.
Shortly after this first parliament was abolished, attempts began to restore devolution on a new basis that would see power shared between nationalists and unionists. To this end a new parliament, the Northern Ireland Assembly, was established in 1973. However, this body was brought down by opposition from hard-line unionists and republicans and was abolished in 1974. In 1982 another Northern Ireland Assembly was established at Stormont, initially as a body to scrutinise the actions of the Secretary of State, the British minister with responsibility for Northern Ireland. It received little support from nationalists and was officially dissolved in 1986.
The modern Northern Ireland Assembly was first elected on 25 June 1998 and first met on 1 July 1998. However, it only existed in "shadow" form until 2 December 1999 when full powers were devolved to the Assembly. Since then the Assembly has operated only intermittently and has been suspended on four occasions:
Attempts to secure its operation on a permanent basis have been frustrated by disagreements between the two main unionist parties (the Democratic Unionist Party and the Ulster Unionist Party) and Sinn Féin, the largest nationalist party, which is widely perceived to be the connected to the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). Unionists refused to participate in the Good Friday Agreement's institutions alongside Sinn Féin until they were assured that the IRA had discontinued its activities, decommissioned its arms and disbanded.
The most recent suspension occurred after unionists withdrew from the Northern Ireland Executive after Sinn Féin's offices at Stormont were raided by the police investigating alleged intelligence gathering on behalf of the IRA by members of the party's support staff. The Assembly, already suspended, dissolved on 28 April 2003 as scheduled, but the elections due the following month were postponed by the United Kingdom government and were not held until November that year.
On 8 December 2005, three Belfast men at the centre of the alleged IRA spying incident (dubbed Stormontgate) were acquitted of all charges. The prosecution offered no evidence "in the public interest." Afterwards Denis Donaldson, one of those arrested, said that the "charges should never have been brought" as the police action was "political." On 17 December 2005, Donaldson publicly confirmed that he had been a spy for British intelligence since the early 1980s.[4] Mr Donaldson was killed on 4 April 2006.
Although the Assembly remained suspended from 2002 until 2007, the persons elected to it at the 2003 Assembly election were called together on 15 May 2006 under the Northern Ireland Act 2006 to meet in an assembly to be known as "the Assembly"[5] (or fully "the Assembly established under the Northern Ireland Act 2006") for the purpose of electing a First Minister and Deputy First Minister and choosing the members of an Executive before 25 November 2006 as a preliminary to the restoration of devolved government.
On 23 May 2006 Ian Paisley, leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) refused Sinn Féin's nomination to be First Minister alongside Sinn Féin's chief negotiator, Martin McGuinness, as Deputy First Minister. Eileen Bell was appointed by the Secretary of State Peter Hain to be the Speaker of the Assembly, with Francie Molloy and Jim Wells acting as deputies.[6] The Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Act 2006 repealed the Northern Ireland Act 2006 and thus disbanded "the Assembly".
The Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Act 2006 provided for a "Transitional Assembly" (or fully "the Transitional Assembly established under the Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Act 2006") to take part in preparations for the restoration of devolved government in Northern Ireland. A person who was a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly was also a member of the Transitional Assembly. Eileen Bell was Speaker of the Transitional Assembly and Francie Molloy and Jim Wells continued as deputies. The Transitional Assembly first met on 24 November 2006, when the proceedings were suspended due to a bomb threat by loyalist paramilitary Michael Stone.[7] It was dissolved on 30 January 2007 when the election campaign for the current Northern Ireland Assembly started.
An election to the then-suspended Northern Ireland Assembly was held on 7 March 2007. Secretary of State, Peter Hain signed a restoration order on 25 March 2007 allowing for the restoration of devolution at midnight on the following day.[8] The two largest parties following the election, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sinn Féin, agreed to enter power-sharing government together, and an administration was eventually established on 10 May with Ian Paisley as First Minister and Martin McGuinness as Deputy First Minister.[3]

The Assembly's composition and powers are laid down in the Northern Ireland Act 1998. The Assembly's 108 members are elected from 18 six-member constituencies on the basis of universal adult suffrage. The constituencies used are the same as those used for elections to the Westminster Parliament. The 1998 Act provides that, unless the Assembly is dissolved early, elections should occur once in every four years on the first Thursday in May. However the second election to the Assembly was delayed by the UK government until 23 November 2003. The Assembly is dissolved shortly before the holding of elections on a day chosen by the Secretary of State. After each election the Assembly must meet within eight days. The Assembly can vote to dissolve itself early by a two-thirds majority of the total number of its members. It is also automatically dissolved if it is unable to elect a First Minister and deputy First Minister within six weeks of its first meeting or if those positions becoming vacant. The three elections held to the Assembly so far were the:
Each MLA is free to designate themselves as "nationalist", "unionist" or "other" as they see fit, the only requirement being that no member may change their designation more than once during an Assembly session. The system has been criticised by some, in particular the cross-community Alliance Party, as entrenching sectarian divisions. The Alliance Party of Northern Ireland supports ending the official designation of identity requirement and the taking of important votes on the basis of an ordinary super-majority.
The Assembly has both legislative powers and responsibility for electing the Northern Ireland Executive. The First and Deputy First Ministers were initially elected on a cross-community vote, although this was changed in 2006 and they are now appointed as leaders of the largest and second largest Assembly 'bloc' (understood to mean 'Unionist', 'Nationalist' and 'Other'). However the remaining ministers are not elected but rather chosen by the nominating officers of each party, each party being entitled to a share of ministerial positions roughly proportionate to its share of seats in the Assembly. The Assembly has authority to legislate in a field of competences known as "transferred matters". These matters are not explicitly enumerated in the Northern Ireland Act 1998. Rather they include any competence not explicitly retained by the Parliament at Westminster.
Powers reserved by Westminster are divided into "excepted matters", which it retains indefinitely, and "reserved matters", which may be transferred to the competence of the Northern Ireland Assembly at a future date. An incomplete list of "transferred", "reserved" and "excepted" matters is given below. While the Assembly was in suspension, its legislative powers were exercised by the UK government, which effectively has power to legislate by decree. Laws that would have normally been within the competence of the Assembly were passed by the UK government in the form of Orders-in-Council rather than legislative acts.
Unlike laws enacted by the Westminster Parliament, Acts of the Northern Ireland Assembly are subject to judicial review. A law can be struck down if it is found to:
Although the British monarch is not formally a component of the Assembly (as is the case at Westminster), all bills passed by the Assembly must receive Royal Assent to become law. If the Secretary of State believes that a bill violates the constitutional limitations on the powers of the Assembly, the Secretary of State will refuse to submit the bill to the monarch for Assent. If submitted by the Secretary of State, the monarch will, by convention, sign a bill into law. Acts of the Northern Ireland Assembly begin with the enacting formula: "Be it enacted by being passed by the Northern Ireland Assembly and assented to by Her Majesty as follows:".
The Assembly has three primary mechanisms to ensure effective power-sharing:
Each MLA is free to designate themselves as "nationalist", "unionist" or "other" as they see fit, the only requirement being that no member may change their designation more than once during an Assembly session. The system has been criticised by some, in particular the cross-community Alliance Party, as entrenching sectarian divisions. The Alliance Party of Northern Ireland supports ending the official designation of identity requirement and the taking of important votes on the basis of an ordinary super-majority.
The Assembly is chaired by the Speaker and three Deputy Speakers. Lord Alderdice served as the first regular Speaker of the Assembly, but retired to serve as part of the current Independent Monitoring Commission that supervises paramilitary ceasefires. The position is currently filled by William Hay. In the Assembly the Speaker and ten other members constitute a quorum. The Assembly Commission is the body corporate of the Assembly. It ensures that the Assembly has the property, staff and services it needs to carry out its work. Legal proceedings taken for or against the Assembly are taken for or against the Commission on behalf of the Assembly. The staff of the Assembly are collectively known as the Assembly Secretariat.
The Assembly has a number of statutory committees each of which is charged with scrutinising the activities of a particular ministerial department. It also has a number of permanent standing committees and temporary ad hoc committees. The Chairmen and Deputy Chairmen of the committees are chosen by party nominating officers under a procedure similar to that used to appoint members of the Executive, i.e. the d'Hondt system. Ordinary committee members are not appointed under this procedure but the Standing Orders require that the share of members of each party on a committee should be roughly proportionate to its share of seats in the Assembly. Committees of the Assembly take decisions by a simple majority vote. The following were the statutory and standing committees of the Assembly at the time of its suspension in 2002:

As those who watch my Instagram feed, I play a fair number of board games. One of the interesting trends that has come about with the explosion of hobby board gaming is the increasing variety in themes. In the 80's board games tended to be either based on war/conflict or were abstract in nature. There were exceptions, but I think it's fair to say the majority fell into these categories).
Sitting in front of me right now, I have four board games I've been playing with my kids – none of which use war as a central theme! What are some good examples of war-free themes that we might steal for our own odd campaigns?
Hostage Negotiator – Players are members of an elite task force within the city charged with defusing hostage situations. In the board game, (one of the few solo-only board games, there are many different hostage takers. Sample hostage takers include hard-up blue collar workers, corporate bigwigs on the run, political idealists, etc. This sort of campaign has lots of options for antagonists and great opportunities for interpersonal drama.
Thornwatch – (this is a Kickstarted-based project based on the Penny Arcade property that hasn't made it into distribution yet) The Thornwatch are a group of spirits summoned during times of need to protect the people from the wilderness. These spirits incarnate in different manners over the years and aren't always benevolent.
Teraforming Mars – In this game, players are terraforming the surface of Mars for future life. While the board game takes place over decades/centuries, a campaign could take place over a single generation. This would allow players to deal with the day to day struggles of settling on a dead world.
Robinson Curusoe – The characters are castaways, trying to survive on a savage island. The board game often plays like a RPG, with events taking place over time and having more lasting ramifications.
The Castles of Mad King Ludwig – While the board game is really just an excuse to play a complex version of Tetris, the theme is really interesting. Essentially, you are the servants of a mad king currently focused on building out a series of castles. This could be converted into a game where the players are counselors (or even rivals) of the king managing the kingdom through the king's madness!

Well, it would be (and will be!) once you can figure out how to create the images you see in your mind.
You know the pose you are trying to achieve.
You've watched a couple YouTube videos, scanned Pinterest for ideas…. and yet, there's still something missing.
Maybe you've thought of going to an in-person workshop, but the price and time away from your family just won't allow it.
Or, maybe you like to be able to watch things a few times over to fully let it sink in….allowing you the chance to practice, rewatch, practice again.
I get it.
I spent so much time being frustrated because my images just lacked….that special something.
After photographing close to 800 newborns, I've discovered that 'something' – and I can't wait to share it with you in our new Newborn Essentials Masterclass
Best of all, you can learn in the comfort of your home, on your schedule.

The Senate has passed the petroleum industry governance bill (PIGB).
The upper legislative chamber also passed the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism bill 2019, National Research and Innovation Council bill 2019, Stamp Duties act (amendment) bill 2019 and National Agricultural Seed Council bill 2019.
Others are Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme (amendment) bill 2019 and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) act 2010 (amendment) bill 2019.
The bills were passed after Ahmad Lawan, Senate leader, moved a motion and referred for the committee of the whole for consideration.
Buhari had initially rejected the bills after which the Senate set up a technical committee to review the bills.
After the technical committee effected corrections, the senators considered the clauses of each of the bills and passed them on Wednesday.
The president had cited legal, constitutional and drafting issues as reasons for rejecting the bills.
In the case of the PIGB, the president raised "legal and constitutional reasons" as reasons he had withheld assent.
"That the provision of the Bill permitting the Petroleum Regulatory commission to retain as much as 10 percent of the revenue generated unduly increases the funds accruing to the Petroleum Regulatory commission to the detriment of the revenue available to the Federal, States, Federal Capital Territory and Local governments in the country," Ita Enang, Buhari's legislative aide, has said.
"Expanding the scope of petroleum equalisation fund and some provisions in divergence from this administration's policy and indeed conflicting provisions on independent petroleum equalisation fund.
"Some legislative drafting concerns which, if assented to in the form presented will create ambiguity and conflict in interpretation."
The PIGB seeks to establish the Nigerian petroleum regulatory commission as a one-stop regulator that will be responsible for licensing, monitoring, supervising petroleum operations, as well as enforcing industry laws, regulations and standards.
The bills will have to also be passed by the house of representatives before they are sent to Buhari for assent.

A couple of weeks ago I was listening to "Fresh Air" on National Public Radio. Substitute host Dave Davies was interviewing Mark Bowden, the author of "Black Hawk Down," about his new book, "Hue 1968."
Hue is the city at the center of the action in Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket." I was going to post a YouTube video of a scene from it, but I can't even watch it without grimacing, so I won't subject my handful of readers to it.
During the interview, Bowden read a passage. It's a gripping passage describing a scene I've heard variations of in my interviews with World War II veterans.
It also contains an error, the kind an author with all the resources at his disposal of a Mark Bowden shouldn't make. If I can confirm the error with a few clicks of a mouse, you'd think Bowden would have been able to, especially if it's in a passage he's going to read in interviews and cite as one of the key moments in the book.
Maybe the error shouldn't bother me -- after all, Steven Ambrose was famous for some of his miscues and Cornelius Ryan gave the world the impression that the D-Day assault on Pointe du Hoc was for naught. The reason this error bothers me is that Bowden is talking about people with real names from real places with real families who may or may not have known how their loved ones died, or what was or wasn't in the casket that came home.
This is the passage. At first I didn't sense an error. But being a newspaperman at heart, I'm always looking for a story angle, and for a moment I thought I found one.
Dave Davies: Well, Mark Bowden, welcome back to FRESH AIR. I want to begin with a reading of your book. This is a moment where we meet an American soldier who is with a unit that is pinned down by North Vietnamese soldiers. He's in a foxhole. Do you want to just set this up and read us this portion?
MARK BOWDEN: Yeah. His name is Carl DiLeo, and he was an infantryman with an Army Cavalry unit that had been sent out to push toward the Citadel from the north. And they got trapped in the middle of a field where they were stuck for a day or two essentially with the North Vietnamese taking target practice at them. And it was a - they lost half of their men. So it was a harrowing and terrifying experience for him and for all of the men who were there.
(Reading) The worst thing was the mortars, which rained straight down on them. They were being launched periodically from only a few hundred yards away. DiLeo could hear the pock and then the whoosh of its climbing. If he looked up, he could actually see the thing as it slowed to its apogee. From that point on, it was perfectly silent. There it would hang, a black spot in the gray sky, for what seemed like a very long beat, the way a punted football was captured in slow motion by NFL Films, before it plummeted straight down at them.
(Reading) The explosion was like a body blow even when it wasn't close. All of these were close. You opened your mouth, and sometimes you screamed out of fear, and it kept your eardrums from bursting. It was hell, a death lottery where all you could do was wait your turn. If you stayed down in the hole, you were OK unless the mortar had your number and landed right on top of you.
(Reading) This is what happened to DiLeo's good friend Walt Loos and the other man in his foxhole, Russell Kephart. They were one hole over. They got plumed. They were erased from the Earth. DiLeo watched the round all the way down, and it exploded right in their hole, vaporizing them. One second, they were there, living and breathing and thinking and maybe swearing or even praying just like him.
(Reading) And in the next second, two hale young men, both of them sergeants in the United States Army, pride of their hometowns - Perryville, Mo., and Willimantic, Conn., respectively - had been turned into a plume of fine pink mist, tiny bits of blood, bone, tissue, flesh and brain that rose and drifted and settled over everyone and everything nearby. It, or they, drifted down on DiLeo, who reached up to wipe the bloody ooze from his eyes and saw that his arms and the rest of him were coated, too. Then there would come another pock and another whoosh.
DAVIES: And that is Mark Bowden reading from his new book about a pivotal battle in the Vietnam War, "Hue 1968." You know, that's such a vivid description of the brutality and terror of war.This is where my ears perked up. I work part time for a small newspaper in Connecticut. The newspaper's parent company, Central CT Communications, recently bought the Willimantic Chronicle. I thought hey, Russell Kephart might still have family living in Willimantic and the fact that his death is described so powerfully in a bestseller might make for a good story.
Thanks to things like the Traveling Wall and various other sites, there is a good deal of information on the Internet about the 58,000 young Americans who died in the Vietnam War.
According to HonorStates.org, Thomas Walter Loos died "through hostile action ... small arms fire." So far so good, except for the difference between being killed by small arms fire and taking a direct hit from a mortar in your foxhole. Loos also was awarded the Silver Star.
Now imagine my shock when I looked up Russell Kephart and found at the Virtual Vietnam Wall (vvmf.org) that his place of birth was not Willimantic, Connecticut, but Lewistown, Pennsylvania.
There was a third sergeant killed from the same unit that day, Robert E. Hopkins. He was from Willimantic.
In the fog of war it might be easy for a combat veteran to mix up the hometowns, if that is what happened. But if a researcher or Bowden himself were responsible for the mixup, it would be unconscionable.
I sent a correction to "Fresh Air," but since it was the author's mistake and not the show's, they apparently didn't see fit to make a correction, although they did point out that they misidentified a war correspondent in a clip they aired at the beginning of the show.
In the last few days I've heard from the granddaughter of a person I interviewed some 20 years ago and was able to send her some anecdotal material about her grandfather, as well as the audio of the interview with her grandmother. And I heard from a young woman with the same last name as Max Lutcavish who is trying to determine if she was related. I sent her a couple of stories about Max, including one in which he told his buddy Dess Tibbitts he was going to go on a "careful drunk," mixing sterno with grapefruit juice, and a half hour later he couldn't stand up. Also, Lutcavish was responsible for one of the high water marks in the history of the 712th, knocking out a Mark V Panzer with the .37 millimeter gun of his light tank. No wonder his nickname was Lucky.
I'm not perfect. Years ago I posted on my web site a very convincing interview with a veteran who described in great detail how he survived a massacre, having his chin shot off when he turned his head as the German shot him in the head. Exhaustive research proved that such a massacre did not take place. That description got picked up in a book about Normandy, and will probably be rewritten in other books in future years. I believe the veteran had a form of Munchhausen syndrome, and was brilliant at making bizarre scenarios seem plausible. When I interviewed him the medic who treated him was there and I asked what he looked like. The medic said he looked like Chester Gump, a popular cartoon figure who had no chin. The veteran said to the medic, "You know, only a little while after you left the dressing you put on fell off." To which the medic replied, "I didn't charge you much, did I?"
esident of the United States takes pride in presenting the Silver Star Medal (Posthumously) to Thomas W. Loos, Sergeant, United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against a hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam. Sergeant Loos distinguished himself by intrepid actions on 4 February 1968 while serving with Company D, 2d Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. His unquestionable valor in close combat is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the United States Army.

Next Session: Friday June 15th
Over to mine for some post-apocalyptic mutant madness. Bagsie the one-legged reptilian marsupial with the rocket launcher.
Who's in?
7 Responses to "Next Session: Friday June 15th"
Sorry to be an a rse, but I can't make it. I have to go back to the hospital for further treatment on Friday afternoon and I am likely to feel fairly rough afterwards. I'm not sure why they couldn't do it last Friday, probably because they think I will enjoy it more if I have a week to look forward to it.
What fucking awesome system lets you do that!? I'm in!
Or is it Russell that is the owner of that game? I've got the battlestar galactica….which is really good as a back up if it has any apeal
I'm out for three weeks now due to work, enjoy. (I have an extreme hunch the sessions are going to descend into madness)
Is it Char Gen this evening and if time a little light slobberin' and hollerin'? As always on a Friday I'll be there shortly after 8.30. No pizza for me pls.
To help me prepare are we playing a group of muties or pures? I think muties might be more fun…
Are we playing Gamma World on Friday? I should be able to make it this week. Did someone make me a character last time? There may be a pizza related bribe if I get to be a monkey-scorpion.
Game on tomorrow?
