Tag: Unjailbreak iOS 10.2
How to Jailbreak iOS 10.2 with Yalu?
Luca Todesco has recently announced the first Yalu jailbreak build for iOS 10.2. It addresses iOS 10.0-iOS 10.2 but only a set of 64-bit devices. And as it is still not completely stable in processing, Luca has given us space to expect favorable changes up in future. But regardless of all drawbacks if you feel excited about this new tool release, here I come with the complete guide to Jailbreak iOS 10.2 with Cydia impactor.
Please Consider: Luca has set free this new tool build for the testing purpose. And he confirms this is more stable than the previous betas of Yalu for 10.0-10.1.1 even comes as the first Yalu 10.2 tool build. And as it is still under developing, there might be issues in the processing too. So please proceed at your own risk
Jailbreak iOS 10.2 with Yalu
The jailbreak still comes under active developing and might contain various issues. When considered its compatibility, it's extremely limited to a selected set of devices at this moment. So pay your attention on below given facts prior to head the processing.
Compatible Devices:
- iPhone 6
- iPhone 6S Plus
- iPhone SE
- iPad Pro
- The process is a semi-untethered similar to previous Pangu 9.2-9.3.3 where you have to re-jailbreak every time you reboot the device
- Make sure to backup all your data via iTunes or iCloud as processing is unstable and may harm your device's content
- Charge your device to sufficient power scale
- Make sure you are listed in the above compatible device range to use Yalu 10.2 jailbreak
Step Guide
- Step 1: Download the latest Cydia impactor to the computer
- Step 2: Download IPA file named yalu102_alpha.ipa to the computer
- Step 3: Double click on Cydia impactor and launch
- Step 4: Connect your iDevice to the computer
- Step 5: Now drag Yalu IPA file into the Cydia impactor interface
- Step 6: Enter the Apple ID when required
- Step 7: Let Cydia impactor install IPA and note whether Yalu102 icon appeared on the Home screen
- Step 8: Launch Settings on the device and head General > Device Management and tap the profile related to the Apple ID you entered in Cydia impactor
- Step 9: To run the app press "Trust" and give permission to work on the device
- Step 10: Once done, launch the Home screen and enter Yalu102 app
- Step 11: Press "Go" and let jailbreak iOS 10.2
- Step 12: After a little wait your device will respring and then you should see Cydia app on the home screen of the device
If you are done successfully, you can now launch Cydia and enjoy compatible tweaks. But in case Cydia does not appears, you have to go back to the profile and check whether it is successfully trusted. If not, trust it back and run the jailbreak iOS 10.2 again. When turns Cydia 10.2, you have to head only the recommended tweaks to prevent getting problems.
Unjailbreak iOS 10.2
Had a try on Yalu 10.2 and now need to get back to the stock and wait for the stable jailbreak planned for up in future? No matter as you can simply make it happen with a clean iTunes restoring. And as iOS 10.2 still being signed you can downgrade iOS 10.2.1 to 10.2 and preserve the chance for upcoming jailbreak. So if you are planning to take the beta challenge on 10.2, you have the chance now as iOS 10.2 signing still open. But as Apple makes the decisions without warning, be attentive on what you do as it could stuck you with no jailbreak again. So check the signing status prior to the processing.
Final words
As jailbreak iOS 10.2 is still an alpha release, it is up to you to decide whether to jailbreak or not at this stage. But as it is going to be more stable with time, I recommend you to stay with iOS 10.2 and get complete and stable jailbreak once it is officially out. So wait for few weeks to get more exciting news. If you feel any problem with jailbreak or related facts in the post, write us for further clarifications.

From the great Columbian Exposition to the signature innovations of Skidmore Owings & Merrill, among others, Chicago has been at the forefront of architectural innovation and a force in determining where and how we live.
The Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB)
will continue that daring conversion. Entitled The State of the Art of Architecture, over 100 architects and artists—representing more than 30 countries— will present unique architectural projects in the Biennial's exhibitions and programs, which will take place at the Chicago Cultural Center and other sites across the city, including Millennium Park, City Gallery in the Historic Water Tower, Expo 72, and the Stony Island Arts Bank, the latest initiative of acclaimed Chicago artist Theaster Gates.
Four French agencies will present their work and practice: Didier Faustino, whose multiform work explores the relationship between body and space; Lacaton & Vassal + Frédéric Druot, an agency whose uniquely humanist attitude towards spacial renewal and efficiency enhances the lives of those it impacts; LIST, the Paris-based urban planning and architecture agency of Ido Avissar; and New Territories/M4/François Roche/Camille Lacadee, a firm organized on a foundation of three principal themes: research as speculation, fiction as practice, and practice as lifespan.
As a partner program
of the CAB, Rebuild Foundation presents Xavier Wrona as an Architect-in-Residence of the Méthode Room residency. Wrona's project, the first in the Méthode Room series, features an exhibition at Rebuild's Archive House as well as the launch of a five week long architecture TV channel.
Support to the French agencies is provided by the Institut Français in Paris and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in Chicago & New York as international partners of the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
Anne Lacaton and Jean Philippe Vassal founded in 1987 Lacaton & Vassal, a Paris-based practice that works on public buildings, housing, and urban planning. Their major projects include FRAC in Dunkirk, France; the renovation of Palais de Tokyo, Paris; and the transformation of several public housing estates in France. Frédéric Druot established his eponymous architectural agency in 1992. Its main activities are in housing, workplaces, and cultural venues, where it undertakes research into the altering of context, scale, and cost-effectiveness in new buildings, as well as the transformation of pre-existing ones.
Didier Faustino is an artist and architect who works on the intimate relationship between body and space. His approach is multifaceted, from the creation of visual art to the design of spaces that exacerbate the senses. Prominent projects include Body in Transit, which is in the collection of the Centre Pompidou, Paris, and Double Happiness, presented at the Hong Kong/Shenzhen biennale in 2009. Faustino received the Académie d'Architecture's Dejean Prize for Lifetime Achievement
in 2010. He is currently working on prestigious architectural projects around the world, including a library and a cultural center in Mexico, and an experimental house in Spain for the curatorial series Solo Houses.
LIST is a Paris-based architecture, urban planning, and research office, founded in 2012 by Ido Avissar. LIST's practice is focused on Europe, and works mainly in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. Avissar currently teaches at the École Nationale Superieure d'Architecture de Versailles, and is a visiting tutor at The Berlage in the Netherlands.
François Roche is co-founder, together with Camille Lacadée of New-Territories, a platform for research and practice, that includes R&Sie(n) in Paris, Lab M4 (MindMachineMakingMyths), and [eIf/bʌt/c] Institute for Contingent Scenarios,
Bangkok. Through these different groups, Roche seeks to articulate the passages between the real and fictional, as well as the geographic situations and narrative structures that transform that relationship. Working between architecture and film, Lacadée's primary interest is in the physical manifestation of psychopathologies, through the interactions of stage props and short films.
Rebuild Foundation presents Xavier Wrona as an Architect-in-Residence of the Méthode Room residency. Wrona's project, the first in the Méthode Room series, features an exhibition at Rebuild's Archive House as well as the launch of a five week long architecture TV channel. Interested in the connection between architecture and social justice, his exhibition explores French intellectual Georges Bataille's definition of architecture
as a tool through which an ideologically dominant order manifests itself in reality. The exhibition and TV program are aimed at reorienting the field of architecture towards the daunting problems of the contemporary world order.
The Méthode Room is curated by Guillaume Désanges and made possible by the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in Chicago & New York and the Institut Français.
Xavier Wrona
is the Founder of the French architecture agency Est-ce ainsi, which works to refocus the architectural practice on its political consequences and its possible participation in the reform of vivre ensemble, or "living together." Est-ce ainsi articulates a critical reading of the figure of the architect throughout history with a particular attention to the means of production of the built environment. The agency was awarded the Young Architects and Landscape Architects Prize by the French Ministry of Culture in 2010.
Film Series presented in partnership with the Chicago International Film Festival

When opening a certificate of deposit, you agree to invest a sum of money for a fixed amount of time. In return, the bank or other financial institution pays a higher interest rate and guarantees the money against loss. You can invest as much of your IRA as you want into a CD, but you cannot add funds to the CD after your initial deposit.
Add CDs
You cannot add money to a CD in an IRA once you have bought it. However, you can add other CDs. There is no limit on how many CDs you can hold in an IRA or what value each has, although some institutions require minimum deposits for IRA CDs. If you put your last year's maximum IRA contribution into a CD, you can add a second CD with this year's maximum contribution.
Add at Maturity
You can add money to an IRA CD at its maturity because that is, in effect, starting a new CD. If you have a $5,000 IRA CD that matures in January, you can elect not to have an automatic rollover. Instead, you can combine another $5,000 contribution with the expiring CD and get a new $10,000 CD.
Grace Period Additions
If you have an automatic renewal, you can still add money to a CD at its maturity time. Most institutions offer a "grace" period of seven to 20 days after the CD matures to make additions. The FDIC, which insures CDs up to $250,000, recommends buyers carefully check renewal options to make sure a CD does not renew at an existing rate that might be lower than the current market rate.
Laddering Additions
CDs come in time periods from 30 days to five years or longer, with higher interest rates generally on longer terms. "Laddering" means buying CDs with different maturities, i.e., buying both short- and long-term CDs so that each group expires at different times. This gives the benefit of higher interest for long-term CDs and liquidity for short-term CDs held in an IRA.

Last week, while riding my bike to meet a friend for dinner, I got hit by a car. My initial thoughts, upon seeing a behemoth BMW SUV inexorably bearing down on me was that this was it. The gig was up, and I was on my way to join the bleedin' choir invisible, a reverse BMW logo indelibly stamped into my forehead.
Then, a blessed surge of relief when I realized from my perspective on the ground that I was not going to be flattened after all. Concerned people gathered around, all firing away questions in Dutch, which at this point I was not understanding at all (my Dutch comprehension is pathetic at the best of times). Finally, when I was able to calm down enough to speak, I was able to say in Dutch that my command of their language was abominable, and as is usual here, everyone switched immediately to English.
They helped me off the road, and the woman who hit me asked if I was ok or if I felt dizzy at all (she says she didn't see me, though it was only late afternoon and she should have had a perfectly clear view of me from the direction from which she was coming). It was only later that I realized she hit me because I expected her to slow down at that intersection, as every other vehicle does, because that intersection has a blind corner. To ensure someone coming from the street to the right is not smooshed, a car has to at least slow down significantly, if not stop. Though not speeding, she had sailed through there like Harry and Meghan on their wedding day.
Mentally checking to see if anything was broken, two people helped me to my feet and I was able to get out of the middle of the road. Astoundingly, I seemed ok, apart from the blow my knees and a shoulder had taken.
My bike had been moved to the side of the road. Looking at it, it did not seem terribly bent, but the back wheel was decidedly wonky. It took real effort to get it to turn.
That bike had been my faithful companion for the last 14 years. I bought it new in Paris soon after moving there. It wasn't terribly expensive, but I rode it everywhere. I bought a quaint wicker basket lined with a green-and-white checkered cloth to hang off the front, in which I could put my market purchases. Everything from fromage du chèvre to cheap Tati wine glasses were transported on that bike.
My trusty old Meteor had been my constant companion, and I cycled it all over Paris, from the Champs-Elysées to the Sunday puces (flea market) at Vanves. It was particularly handy during the frequent RATP strikes, when a bus or metro could not be found for love nor money. Despite there being no dedicated bike lanes in Paris during those years, I never had a problem with safely navigating the roads along with the car and bus traffic.
So this morning, while I listened to the bike repair guy explain how it would cost far more to try to repair the bike than to buy another equivalent used one, I felt something akin to when taking one's beloved pet to the vet, suspecting there is something terribly wrong. Not quite the same level of anguish, of course, but still.
The guy at the used bike place was friendly and did a good job at assessing my requirements. Finding a bicycle for my diminutive size in this country of giants I expected to be no easy task. But he emerged with one that, while larger than my Meteor, was a manageable size. I gave it a test ride, and it felt pretty comfortable for a strange bike and it had smooth ride — in some ways smoother than my old one. Life sometimes literally hurls us into change.
As I left the shop with my adopted bike, I gave my old companion one last lingering glance, grateful to it for all its years of good service. Yet one more link to my years in Paris is gone. That's ok, makes more room for new memories.

Now that we've covered the whole alphabet let's turn our attention to digraphs (or two-letter combinations signifying one sound). Lezgi has many of those because it has more sounds than Russian, for which the Russian Cyrillic script was originally designed.
Not counting the в /w/ (which we've already met – go back a bit and read once more how it behaves after a consonant), Lezgi has three… , let's say, 'modifier symbols' – I, ъ, ь . In contrast to the English 'h' which is a letter of its own apart from forming digraphs (I'm talking about 'ph', 'th', 'ch' and 'sh', and to stretch things a bit 'gh', 'kh' and 'zh' as well), those three are barely (ъ) or not at all (two others) independent letters.
We've already met ъ /'/ in its role as a letter, but we'll talk about its combo-making abilities a bit later.
For now – let's meet palochka, everybody! 'Palochka' is not a Russian folk dance, but a word (it means literally 'little stick') for a special symbol designed for use in orthographies of several Caucasian languages. It looks (almost) like I, but as you'll find out, because of technology constraints the proper palochka is almost never used, I, l, 1, or ! being substituted for it on the web. I'll use I
In standard Lezgi, palochka is used in the following letter combinations (remember, it's not a letter in Lezgi):
пI тI кI цI чI
These all mark so-called ejective consonant. You pronounce them like you would pronounce their regular equivalent except that you stop the airflow through your glottis (that is, you make a glottal stop). The resulting sounds sounds to me as if it was stopped in the mouth for a split-second and then forcefully released. Anyway, don't worry, they are quite easy to learn.
кичIе – to be afraid (a very irregular verb)
кIан – to love / like / want (another very irregular verb)
кIвал – house, home
пIуз – lip
тIал – pain
тIвар – name
балкIан – horse
цIап – horse-shit
цIай – fire
чIал – language
-тIа – if (suffixed)
тIимил – a bit
And now let's see if you can translate the following:
Зи тIвар Петр я.
Ваз Лезги чIал чидани?
Заз Лезги чIал са тIимил чида.
Заз вун кIанда, вазни зун кIандани?
КичIе жемир, чан хва – Don't worry, dear son.
And we'll finish for now with this lovely proverb:
БалкIан кIандай цIап такIан. – loves the horse but hates the horseshit
This post may be expanded, I'll let you know.

With so many great movies being released in the last year, the race for the Best Picture is perhaps one of the most heated. It's not surprising that critics are having trouble agreeing on what the best film is, but what is surprising is the number of different films that are at the top of people's lists.
At one point, Call Me By Your Name seemed to be the film to beat in the category. The film stars Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer as forbidden lovers in Italy in 1983, and it's been talked about ever since it premiered at Sundance early last year. With Hollywood seemingly more open to films with previously controversial topics, Call Me By Your Name seemed poised to hold the golden statue. Since its wide release however, several other films have started to get more buzz. Lady Bird is one of them.
Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird is a coming of age story staring Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf. Ronan's character, Christine "Lady Bird" MacPherson, is a high school senior at a Sacramento Catholic high school, who comes from the wrong side of the tracks. Her school is boring, in that it doesn't offer her any of the adventure, sophistication or opportunity she craves, and she struggles to find herself as she prepares for the future. It's a quirky comedy with a biting dramatic edge that definitely makes it one of the year's best, with Ronan being a strong contender for Best Actress. Still however, other nominated films are slightly better.
Can a horror film win the Best Picture Oscar? It's happened before, and Get Out is the first such film since Silence of the Lambs to even be nominated. Part political statement, part classic horror, this film written and directed by Jordan Peele is more likely to win a writing Oscar than Best Picture, but it's nice seeing the Academy give the genre a chance.
When you put director Paul Thomas Anderson and actor Daniel Day-Lewis together you can almost smell the awards coming. Unfortunately Phantom Thread isn't their strongest effort together, and will most likely fade away once the Oscars are over. It is a shame though as this film about an oddball dressmaker and his muse is well worth the viewing.
As we previously discussed Darkest Hour star Gary Oldman will most likely win Best Actor at this year's Academy Awards, and his film shouldn't be overlooked for Best Picture either. The film follows the story of Winston Churchill's struggle during the early days of WWII. Does he fight, or does he negotiate? It's a tough decision, just as tough as the one that needs to be made in the next contending film.
To publish or not to publish, that is the question The Post examines. This Meryl Streep led drama from Steven Spielberg is a compelling drama based on true events, and is one you definitely need to see. Streep and Spielberg alone create an interesting film, but when you add Tom Hanks into the mix you get that much better. Still, another nominated true story is an even stronger contender.
It's about time Christopher Nolan won an Oscar, and some are calling Dunkirk his best film yet. This WWII drama examines the often forgotten battle of Dunkirk, and simply put, it's a masterpiece. You need to watch it on as big of a screen as you can, which means the home viewing translation may not be as good as watching it on an IMAX screen. It is definitely one of the best films of the year, but there are a couple of dramas that are neck in neck in popular opinion as being the best.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri has the longest title of all the nominated films, and is by far the quirkiest. It features a mother desperate to solve her daughter's murder, who decides to paint three billboards outside of town with messages aimed at the town's chief of police who she believes doesn't care about the case. The film was an instant hit at TIFF and the Venice Film Festival, and now with Awards season in full swing, it's been getting even more attention. Word of mouth has helped as well, which is the same thing that can be said about The Shape of Water.
Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water is hand's down the year's most stylistic film, and like usual, del Toro puts a twist on the typical monster movie. In this case he takes a lonely janitor, played by Sally Hawkins, and has her fall in love with an amphibian man who is the subject of a top-secret government experiment. Even if the film doesn't win Best Picture, del Toro is almost surely a shoo-in for Best Director, but that being said it should take home both trophies this year.

chicken soup -- it'll cure what ails you.
except for the clap. if you've got the clap, you might want to get that shit checked out. seriously.
for the rest of us, however, home-made chicken soup has the power to turn the tides of war in the epic battle between sickness and health.
my favorite chicken soup isn't made w/ chicken at all; it's made w/ hotdogs. when i was a kid, my mother would prepare a similar recipe anytime i was under the weather. i've updated the mom's original w/ a fresh technique and the addition of some chopped greens, in this case kale.
agini bebe soup w/ hot dogs
1 cup celery, small dice
1 cup onion, small dice
1 cup carrot, shredded
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 quarts chicken stock
1 quart water
1 bay leaf
2 cups agini bebe pasta
4 hotdogs, sliced on the bias
2 cups kale, roughly chopped.
evoo, as needed
salt & pepper, to taste
1. in a 6-qt pot, add about 2 TBS of olive oil and get to sizzling temp. add the celery, onions, carrot, and a HEAVY pinch of kosher salt. lower the heat and GENTLEY sweat the veggies medium-low until limp, not browned (the veggies should barely sizzle) -- 8 minutes. add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 mins.
2. add the chicken stock and water to the veggies. bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. at this point, feel free to add any number of fresh or dried herbs to the mix. i'd go w/ a bay leaf (fresh or dried) and handful of parsley stems. simmer for about a half-hour, making sure to frequently skim any "gunk" that rises to the top.
3. at the 30-minute mark, remove the bay leaf/herbs out of the pot and add the agini bebe pasta. bring to a boil, reduce to an aggressive simmer. cook for 10 minutes. after 5 minutes, add the sliced hot dogs and chopped kale. cook for another 5 minutes.
taste. season. serve.

A typical fibre optic installation may be a link between two buildings on one large site, creating high speed local area networks. Fibre optic cabling has many benefits over copper cabling, the largest being it can carry large amounts of data (bandwidth) over large distances unaffected by any interference (unlike some copper cabling). Once inside your building you can switch cabling to more affordable copper network cabling, or you can future proof your network and run high speed fibre optic cable to your desk.
EA Data Ltd offers a comprehensive data cabling installation service, specialising in installation and management of copper or fibre optic cabling networks. With years of fibre optic projects under our belt, EA Data Ltd has installed many kilometres of fibre optic cabling, offering a complete cabling solution to numerous communications projects.
We have experience installing internal and external cabling in working environments keeping disruption to a minimum. If there is work that will be disruptive we can work reliably and proficiently 'out of hours', ensuring your staff or guests are not disturbed.
Our experienced data engineers can design and advise on your communications network, the best cable to use to achieve your required bandwidth, and the best method of linking building(s) communications.
Cabling can be installed utilising existing duct routes, through traditional rod and rope methods to pull in cables, or alternatively we can design new routes using civil construction of a new duct and pit system. However, it may be cost effective to use aerial fibre optic cabling or wireless systems.
On completion of any fibre cabling works full Fluke Optifibre OTDR test results will be made available. To view a sample OTDR test report click here.

More practice with the Switch Rod. This time went to Plano East Senior High School to fish the catch and release ponds. Ongoing construction has limited access to one of the ponds but still managed to catch a fish or two! One was a Bass went for a Tube Popper Fishing Fly, another was a Bluegill went for a Near Deere, and then snagged a bobber that was floating in the pond… had a little Catfish attached to the hook and line.

Amylases in enzyme detergents and their effects on a simulated long-life dairy dessert
Tran, T, Datta, Nivedita and Deeth, H. C (2003) Amylases in enzyme detergents and their effects on a simulated long-life dairy dessert. Milchwissenschaft. : Milk science international, 58 (9/10). pp. 527-531. ISSN 0026-3788Full text for this resource is not available from the Research Repository.
Enzyme detergents used in the food industry contain proteinase as the major enzyme but amylase may be present, either by design or inadvertently. Three commercial enzyme detergents and 3 enzyme preparations used in detergents were assayed for alpha-amylase activity by the Ceralpha method using the Megazyme kits. The amylase activities of the detergents varied from 3.2x 10(-6) to 32x 10(-6) mumoles ml(-1) h(-1) while the enzyme preparations had much higher activities ranging from 0.05 to 8.06 mumoles ml(-1) h(-1). When added aseptically to a simulated dairy dessert (2% starch solution) and stored for 42 days, the enzyme detergents caused an increase in viscosity; enzyme preparations at low concentrations caused an initial increase in viscosity followed by a decrease; and enzyme preparations at high concentrations caused an immediate decrease in viscosity. The increase in viscosity corresponded to formation of a distinct network of starch granules while the decrease in viscosity was characterised by a marked decrease in size of the granules and little or no network of granules. Decreases in viscosity corresponded to increases in reducing sugars but samples which increased in viscosity showed no measurable reducing sugars. The amylase activity in all sources was destroyed by heating at 75degreesC for 15 min at pH 1.8

Online Marketing Efforts – Tutorial
Online Marketing Efforts
As a famous proverb says, âwhat gets measured, gets managedâ. Measuring online marketing efforts results in properly managed website and boosting business.
Properly measured metrics give you the insight of data and enables you to predict the revenue better. The following metrics measure your online marketing efforts –
Total Visits
Total visits is the swarming traffic on you website. It gives you enough idea of how well your campaigns are driving. If it seems to fall, you need to investigate the marketing channels. The total number of visits should keep rising in order to state your website a healthy one.
New Sessions
This lets you figure out new and recurring visitors on your website. If they are on rise means your website is compelling and informative enough to catch the attention of the customers and sticky enough to encourage the previous visitors.
Bounce Rate
It shows how many visitors leave your website without further exploring it. A higher bounce rate is a matter of concern. It should decrease as low as it can.
Channel-Specific traffic
It gives you source of origin of traffic. This helps a lot in deciding which channels are performing well over others.
The number of conversions measures the overall productivity of an online Ad. It tells success story of your overall marketing efforts. Lower conversion rate may be due to poor products/services or irrelevant visitors.
Cost Per Conversions (CPC)
It gives you clear picture of how much you are spending over earnings. It lets you decide what you should be investing in further.
Return On Investment (ROI)
ROI reveals profitability. A positive ROI means a successful and well implemented Ad campaign laid on plans and strategies whereas negative ROI is a result of bad offering and bouncing visitors. It is a matter of concern.
You must check these metrics on a regular basis. This will help you examine your website well and decide which metrics work best. On the basis of these metrics, you can work using right strategy to cover enough leads.

Finding the Ocean – The Final Chapter
On September 1, 2017, I did something a little crazy. (Again.) On a complete and utter whim, I took off on a 4,700 mile road trip to go find the ocean. Just me… and the dog.
Continue along on my healing and soul-inspiring journey below, or start from the beginning…
Today is Jacob Wetterling's 41st birthday, so I thought it would be a fitting day to wrap up my "Finding the Ocean" story. Here goes.
In my last post, Chapter 13, I shared what I had written on September 6, 2017. It was exactly one year to the day that Danny Heinrich had confessed to killing Jacob and I was still trying to block all of it from my memory. It's why I had taken off on this cross country road trip in the first place. I didn't want to think about it… didn't want to remember.
Looking back now with some fresh perspective, I'm glad I was able to be there. It was devastating and traumatizing, but I went because I felt I was somehow a part of it all. I wanted to see it through to the end, but there was definitely no "closure." There was just raw, painful, deep SORROW for all that poor boy had to go through on that night in 1989 and all his family had to go through in the 27 years after. It was just so utterly devastating, and again, for the millionth time, I wondered whether this was better. Was the knowing better than the not knowing? Logically, I knew the answer was yes. But there, in that moment, in that courtroom, the answer was definitely no.
I'm going to finish my "Finding the Ocean" story with a journal entry I wrote on the last leg of my trip. This was the first time I had ever written about any of this, and as I read back over it now, I realize how long overdue this catharsis was.
Thank you for taking this journey with me, and for all your kind words and support. As you have probably gathered by now, Jacob is pretty special to me. He came into my life at a time when I was desperately searching for purpose, and he was my light through a very dark tunnel. He renewed my faith, my spirit, and my hope.
This journal entry picks up just after I had made it out of the Federal Courthouse after Danny Heinrich's confession on September 6, 2016. I had finally made it back to my car after getting locked in the stairway and nearly passing out.
Journal Entry – Days 6 & 7
Somehow I made it back to my car. I sat in the parking ramp and tried to tune in to WCCO on my iPhone so I could listen to the press conference. I could have stayed, but chose not to. I just needed to get out of there.
The reception inside the parking ramp was terrible, so I started the car and headed out. I found my way to 1st Avenue and started heading northeast toward the freeway entrance on 3rd Street. I just wanted to go home. I had my iPhone connected to the Bluetooth stereo on my car, so by now, I could hear that the press conference had started. Sheriff Sanner from the Stearns County Sheriff's Office and Andy Luger, the U.S. Attorney, had just finished speaking, and now Patty was going to make a statement. I couldn't believe it. I was in such a sorry state, barely able to drive or think, and here she was, about to make a public statement in front of millions of viewers, just moments after hearing Danny Heinrich confess to her son's kidnapping and murder.
I wanted to see it, so I pulled over and parked across from the Loon Cafe, just as Patty was starting to speak. I was watching on my iPhone and had tears streaming down my face when all of a sudden, someone started pounding on my driver's side window. It startled me so much, I screamed and threw my phone across the car. I turned and saw a biker pounding on my window and yelling at me to get out of the bike lane. I'm not sure if I said anything to him; I'm not sure I needed to. Between the scream and the tears, I think he felt it was best to just get back on his bike and keep going. I scrambled to retrieve my iPhone, which had landed under the passenger seat after hitting the door.
Patty spoke through tears. What hurt the most is when she said, "To us, Jacob was still alive… until we found him." It didn't matter that it had been 27 years. To her… to all of them… Jacob had just died that day, and with it, the hope that he would ever come home.
I sobbed. I watched life go on around me – people walking, talking, driving, biking – and I marveled at how different life felt, even though it still looked the same. Everything about who I was and who I had been felt different. What I had done had mattered. In the end, the Paynesville cases had mattered. Jared's case had mattered, and all the research we had done together had mattered.
And then… Patty thanked us. In her darkest and most trying moment, she thanked Jared and me for what we had done. I couldn't believe it.
After she finished speaking, I pulled back onto 1st Avenue and continued heading toward the freeway entrance on 3rd Street. Suddenly, I felt the need to hug my mom. More than anything, I just wanted to drive to her house and let her wrap her arms around me. I wanted to feel safe, and loved, and normal again.
So, that's what I did. I drove to my parents' home in Oak Grove, and when I walked in, my mom was standing with her back to me listening to the radio. Frank Vascellero was on WCCO Radio talking about the live press conference which had just ended. My mom turned just then, seeming to sense I was there. She wasn't startled; it was as if she just knew it was me. She had tears streaming down her face, and so did I. All she said was, "Oh, Joy," and then we hugged and cried for a long time. As we stood there, I heard Frank Vacellero say my name. He credited me for helping find Jacob, and then I cried harder.
My mom had been out running errands and had also been listening to the live press conference in her car. She had raced into the house and turned on the radio to catch the rest, and that's where I found her when I walked in.
"Were you there?" she asked me.
I nodded.
I couldn't talk about it… any of it. I didn't mention being locked in the stairway, or almost fainting, or the biker who made me scream and throw my phone across the car. I just sat there and let her make me a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk. Later, we opened a bottle of wine, and maybe I shared some of it. All I remember is feeling safe and loved, and so very grateful to have someone to cry with.
Later, around sunset, I was on my way home and driving through – of all places, Paynesville – when Patty called. She and Jerry were also on their way home, and they had called to check on me. They told me they were worried about me because they hadn't seen me after the court hearing.
They were worried about me.
I marveled at these kind and caring people. In their deep grief and sadness, they had called to check on me. I didn't tell them much, but I did mention I had gone to my parents' house because I needed a hug from my mom. "This was the hardest day of my life," I remember telling them.
I know that sounds hard to believe, and even harder to explain. I had been through death before – the loss of children, tragedy and grief – but nothing like this. I had never been through evil before. A child – a happy, smiling child with blue eyes and a yellow sweater – was gone because of one man's evil and selfish act. And to have lived with it for all this time without telling anyone – to watch this family suffer for 27 years – that was incomprehensible to me.
Patty thanked me then. She said if it wasn't for me, this day would have never come. Through tears, I said something then that even surprised me. "It wasn't me, Patty," I said. "It was God."
I couldn't believe I'd said it, but I believed it all the way down to my core. And, in that moment, I knew they believed it, too.
"It was God, and you, and me, and Jared, and everyone," she said. "We all helped bring Jacob home. We all mattered."
I'm done with this chapter now. After sitting at that picnic table on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation – after finally telling this story and putting all these words and feelings down on paper – I can finally think about that day without crying. (Well, without crying as hard or as often, anyway.)
I made it to Jackson Hole around 7 PM and had a great time drinking wine with Inger and her daughter, Annika. We laughed and reminisced and watched our dogs play. All felt right with the world again, and it was such good therapy on a really hard day. (Thanks Inger and Annika!)
One more thing, and probably the most important thing. I left Jackson Hole on Thursday, September 7th and started heading to Whitefish, Montana to meet Ross. He and his brother, Rob, had driven their 81-year-old dad out to Whitefish to visit his sister who was suffering from Alzheimers. I pulled into the Rocky Mountain Lodge where they were staying just before 10 PM. Ross was waiting for me in the parking lot as I arrived, and as I rolled down the window to talk to him, Zoey leaped all the way from the back seat as soon as she heard his voice. Her tail wouldn't stop wagging.
I parked the car, got out and gave Ross a huge hug and a kiss. I'm not sure if I've ever been so grateful and excited to see him. He is so supportive and understanding of all my "crazy." I can't think of another husband who would be so understanding when his wife tells him on the Friday of Labor Day weekend that she is taking the dog and going to find the ocean. How truly crazy is that? But, he gets me, and he let me go.
So, off I went, without telling a soul because I didn't want to explain it to anybody. Honestly, I couldn't even explain it to myself. It started as a bucket list thing and ended up as something so much deeper.
Life is, indeed, a journey. Every milestone I've passed up to this point, every bump in the road, every missed turn, and every sweeping breathtaking view has brought me to where I am now. It all mattered, and it all made a difference. And sometimes, by running away for a few days, you actually end up closer to where you're really going.
Biggest lesson? Follow your heart, believe, and focus on the love. These are the things that have brought me to where I am today.
I'm not sure what my next story is yet. I spent a long time researching the names on that big rock, thinking it might be fun to find those people's descendants and see if they knew about Register Rock along the Oregon Trail. I didn't get very far though, so not sure on that one.
We'll see what comes up…

The Tree on the Porch
Grandma's hospital bed had been in the front room for two years now.
When she got to the point that she couldn't make the steep stairway to the second floor, Mom made up the front room for her, and got a better pair of drapes to keep out the cold and the light. Grandma slept mostly, even during the day. You could hear the psst of the oxygen even upstairs at night, every half-minute or so.
They'd put the TV in the kitchen, and tried the first year to wedge the Christmas tree in next to the dinette, sticking out into the opening to the front room. After the umpteenth person had brushed against it, knocking ornaments to the floor, Mom had said that was it, and the tree went out on the side porch.
Actually, it was kind of cool, and his friends liked the look of it, lights glowing, as you drove by in the busy alley alongside the narrow house. You could see it clearly through the big window behind the dinette, which was where they ate when it wasn't a meal over the sink, and Grandma could see a bit of it out the narrow window opposite her bed. The side door opened into the kitchen, and they rarely used it, mostly coming in the long hallway from the back into the other end of the kitchen. That was now the tree door, getting the most use when for twenty-five days they dashed out to plug in the tree each evening and the last person to bed dashed out to unplug it.
The three of them made it through the year fairly well, with Grandma's social security and Mom's job, but it was never easy. At Christmastime, Mom always went down to the Salvation Army and signed up for an Angel Tree gift package for him, but he was getting kind of old for that.
He'd gotten some good clothes and a few fun little toys, even one year a bike that he rode way past where the frame really suited him. Other times you could tell that either the people who'd picked his card hadn't read it, or (he figured) were older people who didn't know what a nine or ten or eleven year old boy would like, putting a stuffed bunny or craft set in with the sensible clothes.
Most of his friends at school had experience with Angel Tree gifts, and the ones with older brothers and sisters had ruefully pointed out that as you got to twelve and thirteen or fourteen, you generally got a gift card if you were lucky (because it didn't get picked, they guessed) or a bottle of cologne you'd never heard of. The game cartridges were usually not for a game he or his friends had, but you could trade them in downtown.
Mom was pretty smart about watching at Dollar General or Big Lots for the fall months, and she could usually pull out something kind of cool to add to the Christmas pile: a gadget to take apart and put back together, a radio control car in an odd color, or a dvd they'd watch together, joking about the bad acting. To tell the truth, those gifts he liked best because they came from her, not that they were better than what came from the nameless people who got his name off the Angel Tree.
Grandma, when she talked more, would tell him that when she was a girl there was no gift under the tree, but an orange in the stocking and a new toothbrush hanging from a branch with red ribbon. Mom would whisper to him "that wasn't her, that was her mother, your great-grandmother; she got toys and such just like you did, just no batteries." He'd saved up some money, and got her a tube of body lotion and silk flower in a vase from Big Lots; Mom thought that was wonderful he wanted to do that with his money, but warned him "don't feel bad if she doesn't react much when you give it to her. She knows, it's just hard for her to show much. Feelings are hard work for her with all the medications and all."
It looked to be a good Christmas, with a pie in the freezer they'd been given at the food pantry, and a little turkey that came with the Angel Tree gifts. He wondered what they were, but not too much. Expecting too much just led to disappointment, he'd figured that much out. They were together, the tree on the porch, the bird in the oven.
And he had a package for Mom. It wasn't much, but it was something, and he knew she'd love it. It might even be a pleasant surprise. She could use some joy this Christmas, and he wanted to give that to her.

Faith Works 12-31-11
Jeff Gill
December 31, 1945
George hung up the phone and looked up at the picture of his father.
Just beneath it was the cross-stitch his mother had made for him of his dad's favorite quote – 'All you can take with you is that which you give away.'
He looked past them to the window, where the snow was still falling outside. The building whose owner had just been speaking to him was sifting into invisibility behind the mist and growing dark.
Potter wanted him to know they had "found something of interest to both of them." It was the much-searched for $8,000, in an envelope left in a deposit slip rack. A good-hearted customer had discovered the crumpled packet and turned it in to a teller; they had given $50 of it to the finder, which he was sure George would approve of.
Sure, said George. He was surprised how little excitement he felt at the return of the prodigal deposit, although he was amused at Potter's generosity with George's money. For a moment, he thought about asking "If I had found $10,000 of yours, and had given $20 as a reward, would you have been fine with that?" But he just added "Thank you for thinking of that, Mr. Potter."
There was a peculiar tone to the rest of the call, though. Potter sounded positively wistful, asking him about his children's Christmas day, and how the aftermath of that already fading Christmas eve had gone, with half of Bedford Falls crowded into his house on Sycamore Street.
It was true that the hall carpet was essentially ruined, but he didn't tell Potter that.
Harry had left yesterday for Pensacola, where he would be training new pilots. "Watch out for that Potter," he said at the train station, adding "he's got something he wants to prove, and you're in the way of it."
So it was with an extra sense of unease George had heard the words "Why don't you and that charming family come over to my house for dinner tonight, and toast a new year, and the prosperity of peace?"
There was silence on both sides of the line, long enough to punctuate with a couple of Potter's carefully controlled wheezes, just enough sound to indicate listening silence.
"I'll have to check with Mary first, Mr. Potter; to tell you the truth, things have been so busy I'm not sure what our plans at home might be."
"Of course, of course my boy, you do that; wouldn't want to upset the missus. Just give me all call when you get home out here to Beech Grove."
Potter's father had begun a large rambling Georgian home on a knoll well out of town, and built barns and a pond and trails for horseback riding around the wooded acreage. It was along those, everyone knew, that a young Potter Junior had been thrown by a spooked horse, and been paralyzed ever since. There were stories about a young woman and a broken engagement, but all that was before George was even born.
The current Mr. Potter had added wings and grey stone and a high iron fence, but the few who had been on the grounds reported back food that was excellent, cooked in Continental style by a chef who it was rumored spoke no English. George said "I will certainly call as soon as I get home."
"Excellent, excellent. George, we have much to talk about. My best to your Mary," followed by a decisive clunk.
Should he go out there, he wondered? Should he even mention the invitation to Mary? She would wince and shake her head, but then say sternly, "We ought to say yes, if only to find out what he's up to."
And just how would it be, with his children, no doubt in danger of breaking a priceless object at every turn, sitting there about to say things they'd heard at home? There was no way it would be a pleasant evening.
Yet there was something in the old man's voice, or in that silence as he chose not to wheedle or plead ingratiatingly, as was his usual style. Something *was* up, that's for sure.
George reached for his hat, and thought "at the very least, I'll have a story for Harry the next time he calls." And then stopped and read for the millionth time those words of his father, neatly stitched by his mother - 'All you can take with you is that which you give away.'
Well, I'll always have this evening then, thought George.

Once again I am reminded of how blessed I am to be who I am.
How so?
Well, Lori has been at my side since I fell ill. She dropped everything and brought me to the Emergency Room. I feel her prompt action saved me. I've had my hand held and hair "scratched through" when that was the only comfort she could give.
The emergency room staff are of the highest caliber. They worked fast, fast, fast to ease my suffering and find solutions to my affliction.
My children have called and texted and--threatened to visit! From Emily and Emi, Tyler and Kathryn, to Lyle and Eric, they have all kept calling.
My parents and in-laws have been asking after me.
My congregation has been praying for me, and I continue to report that I feel your prayers. I was feeling really, really low this morning when I considered your prayers for me and realized I felt them.
About three seconds later Dr. Hoelscher came around the corner. He asked after me and I told him I was feeling low and a little scared about maybe needing more surgery. He patted me, listened to my tummy, and told me my surgeon would make the call, but added his words to those of others who were listening to my insides these past few days, saying: you sound like you're making progress. I felt better. Now and again the Lord sends a messenger my way.
My surgeon, Dr. Kliefoth was fantastic. He guided me along my journey toward recovery. He was thoughtful calm and caring. I am thankful for him.
Our staff took care of worship and more. I am appreciative!
The foodies gave me chicken noodle instead of tomato soup when asked. Every surgeon, physician, nurse, tech, x-ray tech, food tech and more have really looked after me.
It is a blessing to be Christian. It is a blessing to have known such Christly kindness when I've known such need. I feel blessed to be who I am because of the many living and breathing blessings around me.

Quotable Quote
SR story re: Time Warner subscribers switching to satellite en masse here
We were lucky enough to have gone to the Time Warner studio to pick up the switch and rabbit ears so that we could watch the Boise State game. ... The overall experience was so pitiful, however, that my husband is more than considering dropping Time Warner and switching to whatever service out there that will actually give us some service. We are sports fanatics and refuse to go to all the hassle anytime we want to watch a (now fuzzy) broadcast on Fox

23 September 2017, 20:51 | Updated: 23 September 2017, 20:55
The Mayor Who Likes To Say No and Transport for London have decreed that the taxi firm Uber has delighted us enough
Teenagers all over London are coming to terms with riding the bus or walking back from their nightly shenanigans.
Grown-ups are quite put out too. As I write this, 531,420 people have registered their dismay that their favourite way of getting around will be denied them in a few weeks' time.
Its 40,000 drivers are none too pleased either.
TfL announced that Uber was not "fit and proper" to hold a licence. It accused the company of "a lack of corporate responsibility in relation to a number of issues which have potential public safety and security implications".
The regulator is unsatisfied with the way it reports criminal offences, its handling of drivers' background checks and the use of software allegedly designed to evade regulators.
It is also accused of adding to London's congestion, ruining the business model of the existing taxi services and treating its drivers poorly.
London has consulted its ethical moral compass and found Uber wanting.
This seems strange, because for every case against Uber, there are a myriad of organisations that are at least as guilty, if not more so, and they seem to be immune to regulation or retribution of any meaningful kind whatsoever.
If the authorities plan on putting out of business companies that mishandle criminal offences, then we will have to go back to hiding our money under the mattress because there wouldn't be a single bank left operating in the country.
I challenge you to name one bank that has not had billions of pounds of fines for laundering money for drug cartels or ripping off their customers or rigging the game for their own benefit.
They all have form in that regard and they paid billions in fines, which hurt them not one bit, and just carried on regardless. They are still at it now.
If we're suddenly concerned about disruptive technologies, then Amazon should be put out of business for decimating the high street.
The public used to buy their stuff in shops but now they use physical bricks and mortar outlets to finger the goods they are thinking of buying, then return home to purchase them from Amazon because they'll save ten pence.
If it is extra traffic we are troubled by, what about all those delivery vans bringing all that stuff we bought to our door?
If we were to apply the same standards that are being used to evaluate Uber, it would mean Amazon should be run out of business twice.
And if we're uneasy about background checks, then there is a certain organised religion that should have been put out of operation years ago.
How much evidence do you need? Ten thousand abused children? Twenty thousand?
How many is too many? Despite the abuse and then the cover-ups, not only has the church survived pretty much unscathed, it has kept its place at the moral high table and retained its status as a charity.
Can you imagine if a world-wide burger chain had been as guilty of systematic child abuse? There wouldn't be a branch left in any town on earth.
Uber stands accused of mistreating its staff. If we're distressed about that, we will have to examine every business in the country.
Most companies treat their staff as badly as they think they can get away with.
How many go out of their way to treat their workers better than they think they have to for their own benefit?
If companies treated their staff better, wages would not have stagnated in real terms since the 1980's and the spoils of the workers' efforts would not have been divided up among the top 1%.
If it is public safety that we are bothered about, then why have we not banned from our shores the car manufacturers that lied about how polluting their vehicles were in order to make more money?
And if it is swerving regulations that troubles us, we will have to shut ourselves down.
We are pre-eminent in that – the whole of the City of London is geared to saving tax for billionaires and multinationals – practically every company you have ever heard of is guilty of some form of tax evasion, despite their chorus of protestations of innocence.
We have heard it so many times we can say it along with them: "we pay all the relevant tax that is applicable according to the regulations in every area in which we operate."
Sure they do.
If everything in Britain was assessed by the criteria that Uber has been judged by, the whole country would have a closed sign on its door.
Just one thing though - it won't stand.
Uber will continue because there are too many people who like using it and who can't afford the alternative, the black cab, which is a luxury product.
40,000 people won't get chucked on the dole because of this - it's too many.
What would they do for a living?
The fact that the company's ethos is to undercut the competition and put them out of business is not unique.
What company on earth doesn't want a monopoly?
Uber found a huge gap in the market, just like Apple and Google and Starbucks and Pret a Manger did before them.
They have all hurt existing businesses that catered to the market they entered into.
It doesn't mean that they should be stopped.
That's survival of the fittest. That's life. Things change.
It's not fair but then what is?
