**Disclaimer: Goodness gracious, it's been a while. Naturally, I want to give you a detailed explanation why I haven't posted for so long but there have been quite a few changes inside this mind of mine and I've decided that I don't have to explain shit. So let's just dive back in to the reprimands and get it over with because I have way more cool stuff to write about.**
Reprimand for Misdemeanor #2 – 2012: My sentencing required a lot from me over the course of the next 18 months and, as previously mentioned, one of those things was spending 2 weekends on lock down. I find it hard to hold back telling you everything about this experience so here's a sub-list of the moments that stood out as particularly memorable:
- The seasoned inmate who called me "ma" as she consoled me in the depths of my emotional breakdown after waiting HOURS to be assigned a bunk and my name not being called. Fun little fact: "ma" was a nickname I shared with a couple besties in high school and it stemmed from a mean-spirited joke about someone else. Oh the irony.
- The two other "weekenders" whom I befriended and at one point shared my hopes to get (or already be) pregnant. I became FB friends with one of them and I still am to this day. Coincidentally enough, I saw her 3 years later and locked eyes with her as I led a meeting telling my story. I was also pregnant with A2 at that time and she had gotten her 3rd DUI. Now THAT'S a trip!
- Being solicited to smuggle drugs back in when I returned for weekend #2. I asked her, "do I look like someone who would know how to score hard drugs?" Where those balls came from, I have no idea and the fact that I escaped a lunch room beat down from challenging a broad like that is beyond my comprehension. Another bullet dodged.
- My bunkmate the same weekend. My first impression of her gave me no reason to feel intimidated or think she was in for anything other than drugs, like the majority of inmates. That is until she nonchalantly tells me she had just done heroin for the first time the day before and later threatens to kick the ass of the person who had just farted in her general vicinity. Confession: it was me and I remained unscathed. (so many bullets!!)
- The one and ONLY email I received from a loved one those two miserable weekends. Yes, I still have it and no, you can't read it. But you CAN read excerpts from it right here:
Thank you, beloved friend. You know WTF you are.
- The wasted woman puking up blood in the drunk tank as I waited to be released. I was far from accepting my alcoholism but I felt compelled to give her the hard word and told her if she didn't stop drinking NOW, she was going to die. She proceeded to tell me she was already dying from esophageal cancer. Several months later, I saw the same woman at a rehab facility where I attended a handful of "after care meetings." In that moment, I wanted to run up to her and tell her how happy I was to see her alive and getting help to improve the quality of her life for as long she had left. But I didn't because I knew there was no way she'd remember me.
As the ex who traveled with me to the aforementioned foreign country where I EASILY could have become a cold case victim would say: fun times…fun times.
Speaking of which, I dodged a bullet with that one too. I hesitate to write about him on the DUDs page because I also used HIM at the very end. While he treated me well (compared to everyone who came before him,) he was emotionally unavailable and by the time he was, I had already moved on to D1.
As for the third lucky bastard who got the best of me financially, SD3, he deserves a firm scolding for the way I allowed him to treat me and the only place I can freely do that is here. Like I said before, this series has been mostly for me; it serves as a "purging" if you will, much like what I talked about in my very first blog post.
However, I've beat myself up long enough for my choices when it comes to the opposite sex and I think enough time has passed that I'm ready to be fully free from all of that negativity. God keeps doing for me what I could not do for myself and has relieved me of the desire to publicly shame these lost and damaged souls, therefore, I have removed the DUDS page from my menu.
I don't know what I'll do with it in the future, if anything.
But God does.

Several Malayalam flicks had set the cash registers ringing at the box office recently. But they are nothing compared to the unscreened version of the latest sensational hit, Pulsar Suni: the art of crime and surrender, in terms of the mass exhilaration it generated.
Yet, the drama that unfurled on the court premises in Kochi the other day drew a mixed response, in a legal context though. The police are seen as both villain and hero for the same reason – robbing Suni and his partner in crime Vijeesh of a chance to enjoy the legal shelter guaranteed by the Indian constitution.
Had Suni and his accomplice, accused of abducting and harassing a prominent actress in Kerala, surrendered before the additional chief judicial magistrate in Kochi as planned, they would have been left to the custody of an investigation officer after subjecting them to medical examination. This would have squandered the chance of the police to make use of their 'techniques' to wring out any crucial information related to the incident.
It is said that the police had received information about Suni and Vijeesh being spotted on M.G. Road in Kochi on their way to the court. But the police must have deliberately held off a bid to arrest them to forestall any possible dangers on a busy street. Or, they might have sensed that court would be the best place to surround and capture them.
The reasons are many, to believe that the arrests cannot be a drama. If it were, the police would have waited until the accused surrendered before the magistrate. The two were spotted in lawyers' robes, an apparent camouflage bid to give a slip to the police and the police could have easily turned a blind eye if they were in cahoots with the culprits.
The ACJM court usually commences at 11 am and continues till 1.30 pm before it breaks for lunch. But on that day (Thursday) the sitting in that particular court had ended earlier. There were other courts too functioning in the upper and the lower floors but they might not be have the jurisdiction to accept the surrender plea. Also, the lawyer who had prepared the surrender plea might have addressed it to the ACJM.
Or else, it would require a highly fictitious brain to fancy that the accused, the police, the magistrate and the defendants' lawyer stage-managed the whole arrest sequence with clock-work precision.
At the same time, there is no room for chest-thumping by the police over the arrests. It happened quite inadvertently as the ACJM court was not in session when the two alleged felons surfaced there. Otherwise, it would have been a different tale altogether.
Now that the main culprits have been remanded in judicial custody, the two would enjoy all the indemnities assured by the tenets of human rights till the verdict is delivered or even beyond that. However, this case too will soon pass into the regular slot of the legal system which will take its own time to reach a judicious conclusion.
But what gives a crime, like the one meted out to the prominent actress, its devastating effect is the swiftness by which it is committed. The punishment of the offender, in contrast, is a long drawn out process, which in effect never matches the impact of the crime on the victim. Over the years, there has been a bevy of measures to curb the ill treatment of undertrials and convicts. Human rights watchdogs and other agencies have been on their toes to ensure that criminals and accused are not treated badly
There are rehabilitation programs to draw convicts and prisoners into the main stream. Those attempts are commendable. But, it is a pity that victims, after initial brouhaha, are a forgotten lot for the rest of their lives. No human rights agencies voice for their rehabilitation.
Crimes are getting deadlier but criminals find relief in the legal system. With no dip in the number of serious offenses in the country it's time to ponder over a massive overhaul of the law machinery that deals with crimes, criminals and the victims.

This headphone amp upgrade adds four relay-selectable inputs, a numeric display, a phono-preamp stage, and an auxiliary output.
Thanks to Aren van Waarde (and Dr. Smith, a.k.a. G40EP) for his article on the G40EP. Mr. van Waarde's challenge and built the headphone amp---Accepted!. After powering up the circuit, I was amazed what I heard!
This amp is so simple and clean—no magic—with a straightforward circuit (a little bit different from TDA2003 manufacturer suggested topology) that works very well.
I must confess that the circuit did not hold my attention at first look. After two weeks, I decided to search for the parts in my junk boxes and put every thing together. The components are easy to find, with neither one "white-fly" nor esoteric "audio grade" component. In a few hours of heat and some smoke, the circuit was working very well, to my surprise. In fact, this simple circuit surpassed my expectations.
So, I decided to add the following improvements:
Above: Fig. 1: G40EP circuit.
You can analyze these improvements separately in five parts:
1. The G40EP, a TDA2003-based low- gain amplifier (see the article for more details)
2. Power supplies: two separate single +12V DC to each G40EP and one dual ±12V DC for the phono stage.
3. The phono stage itself.
4. The MUX and digital section.
5. The cabinet.
This is the same circuit as in the article. But, due to the difficulty of finding R1/R101 (130-ohm I mounted a 270-ohm in parallel (135-ohm which worked fine. Basically it's a TDA car audio power amplifier operating at low gain so the quiescent point leads the amp to work at "A-class" in a very linear region of its transference curve. See Fig. 1 and Table 1.
As I said before, I used three power supplies. Two of them are identical (Table 2 and Fig. 2), and a symmetrical (positive and negative) one for the phono stage (Table 3 and Fig. 3). These small transformers rated to 500mA are so simple, like all the circuitry discussed here.
For the positive ones I used transformers rated to 110V AC/15V AC, single secondary coil. For the phono stage power supply, I used an 110V AC/15+15V AC center- tapped. In the symmetrical power supply for the phono stage, all transformers are in parallel with the mains, S0 and F1 circuit.
I have found many interesting circuits at the ESP website. While searching for an RIAA passive network preamp, I encountered Mr. Elliot's web pages, which included an interesting topology that I changed by substituting the original Burr-Brown chips to the common TL074 (Texas Instruments). My objective was to simplify the original circuitry that uses four single audio grade op amps from TL family (quad in a 14 DIP package).
(below) TABLE 1: CIRCUIT PARTS LIST:
Component--Attributes --Designation
(above) TABLE 2: POSITIVE POWER SUPPLY
The result was very good: No PCB layout, everything was mounted in a perf-board (pad pattern, instead of track pattern) with ground plane provided by aluminum foil (used for cooking and glued with glue-stick inside the cabinet and correct grounded in a single point). The schematics I used are in Fig. 4. See also Table 4.
At Mr. Elliot's website, you can find more information about RIAA ac curacy and other significant parameters. If you want to improve the phono pre amplifier according to your needs, drop a note to us and let us know what you did. The phono circuit has deep clean bass and affordable mids (voice is very clean), the highs are very honest, too.
You will soon note the huge differences of recordings among your vinyl records.
(below) TABLE 3: SYMMETRICAL POWER SUPPLY
(below) TABLE 4: PHONO STAGE PARTS LIST
I needed to use my headphones with the following different sources: a Philips CD-60 CD player, a Pioneer VSX-4800 tuner, a Marantz SD-535 dual tape deck, and a turntable (Garrard B2-FG and/or a Thorens TD-166). So I decided to build a relay circuitry to do this and more. Small numbers around the selector switch were not an option, because I needed to see the selections from a distance. Figure 5 and Table 5 show the MUX and digital section.
I used three small sealed reversible relays with two sections NO-NC each, to do the job, commanded by the S1 rotary switch and the "OR logic" provided by some diodes in a simple and old-fashioned way. I used the same approach to command the D19 (seven-segment CC display). Depending on the S1 position, D19 displays "P" for phono input or "1," "2," or "3" for auxiliary direct inputs.
Note: If the switch is in the P (phono) position, all relays are displayed "off" in the schematics. This is to facilitate construction, regarding normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts, depending on the kind of relays you are using.
D19 is an LED seven-segment common-cathode (CC) device. I used a subminiature one (10mm x 7mm). As notice, I used a LM78L12 TO-92 small regulator, because I supplied the power for this perf-board from unregulated +12V DC (in fact, 18V DC unregulated—taken before U1 or U2) from the G4OEP power supply. You can choose any one unregulated source to feed the MUX; left or right will work fine. I experienced no audible interference.
The cabinet is a simple MDF box with Live faces, no bottom end, covered with Curupixa (pronounced Kooroopy shah, a Brazilian wood) darkened foil. I machined all holes in the MDF box from the inside before mounting. After machining, I covered the box and the wooden foil with contact glue (beware of poisonous vapors when using), let them dry for ten minutes, and carefully applied the foil over the box with a metallic, smooth, rounded mass to eliminate air bubbles between the MDF and the covering.
I then applied glue to a ground-plane made from aluminum cooking foil and covered the inner box surface with glue from a glue-stick. Some sanding work and carnauba-wax application guarantees a natural opaque finish.
I chose the chicken-head style knobs to give a vintage look to the G40EP headphone amplifier. I also built a pair of acrylic round washers (30mm diameter, 2mm thickness, and 5mm in length) to put around the knobs, just for aesthetics; my intention was to illuminate with LEDs from the backside when it's powered-up.
The small white square in Photo 2 is the display, showing the selected input from the back-panel. Finally, a grounded 2mm aluminum plate covers the bottom side of the MDF box. Small rubber feet glued on this plate sustain everything. Table 6 lists the final parts.
Figure 6 shows the system connections (one channel shown). I hope this little challenge encourages other DIYers to build their own units and share the results.

Ganglion Cysts of Wrist and Hand
What is a Ganglion Cyst?
A ganglion is the most common mass that develops in the hand. Ganglion cysts are benign lesions. No cases of associated malignancy have been reported. A ganglion can be described simply as a fluid-filled sac arising from an adjacent joint capsule or tendon sheath. A ganglion can form from almost any joint or tendon sheath in the wrist and hand. Your Indiana Hand Center physician will review this with you during your appointment.
What are the Causes?
The exact cause of ganglions remains uncertain. The most popular theory is that ganglions form after trauma or degeneration of the tissue layer responsible for producing the synovial fluid which normally lubricates the joint or tendon sheath. The cyst arises from accumulation of this fluid outside the joint or tendon sheath in a sac or cyst.
What are the Signs and Symptoms?
Ganglions may limit motion in the adjacent joints, or produce discomfort from compression or distention of local soft tissues. Particularly large ganglions can be cosmetically unpleasant. Ganglion cysts of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint may produce deformities of the fingernail. Ganglion cysts arising from the flexor tendon sheath at the base of the finger may produce pain when grasping. On rare occasions, ganglion cysts (particularly those associated with the wrist) may cause changes in the bone.
Ganglion cysts can frequently be diagnosed simply by their location and shape. They are usually not adherent to the overlying skin and are firmly attached to the underlying joint or tendon sheath. Large ganglions may permit the passage of light through their substance (trans-illumination). X-rays are sometimes helpful in diagnosing ganglion cysts, particularly about the distal interphalangeal joint where associated degenerative arthritis is often found. The presence of a grooved nail bed is a classic finding with a mucous cyst. As other lesions can produce swelling in the same sites as ganglions, a 100% accurate diagnosis cannot be provided without aspiration or excision of the mass.
How is it Treated?
Ganglion cysts often change in size and may even disappear spontaneously. For this reason, if the ganglion is asymptomatic, it may be best to simply observe the mass for a period of time. Ganglions about the wrist may respond well to a temporary period of immobilization if diagnosed early.
Aspiration of a ganglion by a physician may help diagnose the lesion and may temporarily or permanently treat the condition. This consists of first numbing the area with a local anesthetic and then inserting a needle to withdraw the clear, jelly-like fluid from the ganglion sac. A compressive dressing or splint may be applied following aspiration. Aspiration is extremely useful in minimizing symptoms when surgery is not desired. Recurrence of the ganglion can be expected in up to 50% of cases following aspiration.
The most reliable method of treating a ganglion cyst is by surgical excision. This is done on an outpatient basis. Ganglions in the finger can be removed under a local anesthetic. However, those cysts involving the wrist usually require a regional or general anesthetic. The ganglion is removed through an incision directly over the area of swelling. Care is taken to attempt to identify its site of origin, and to excise a small portion of the joint capsule or tendon sheath from which it has arisen. In the treatment of a mucous cyst at the distal interphalangeal joint, it is important to remove any osteophytes (bony spurs) that may be associated with the origin of this type of ganglion.
What About Recovery?
Following ganglion cyst removal at the wrist level, a bulky compressive dressing will be applied. A therapist will initiate exercises early in the postoperative period. This is done to prevent the development of possible stiffness and prevent limitations of wrist motion. Between periods of exercise, a splint may be worn to provide rest for the joint, or one may be worn to assist in regaining motion. Usual recovery time following surgery for ganglion cysts ranges from two to three weeks for small ganglions of the finger, and six to eight weeks for ganglions involving the wrist.

Fabric Cable Tidy, Cable Roll DIY
Tidiness is not my forte, for some time I have been meaning to tackle the cable drawers in our sideboard. Surely I'm not the only person to have a pile of messy cables and leads??
So when I received this bundle of fabric from Little House on the Prairie® Andover Fabrics Collection I knew exactly what I wanted to make!
Do you neeed help to tidy your cables? Fancy making your own cable roll?
It's a great fat quarter make.
You will need:
Fat quarter of fabric, plus interfacing
Fabric for securing each cable, each tie to be 11 by 4 and a quarter inches
Plain fabric for labels, plus printing set
Elastic, 9 and 3/4 inches
Bondaweb or other fabric adhesive.
To make:
Iron interfacing to the back of the fat quarter.
Fold in half and iron
Next create the cable holders – Cut out fabric for each cable, 11 by 4 and a quarter inches.
Print the names of each cable on plain fabric.
Cut our your labels, add bondaweb to the reverse.
Fold your fabric ties in half and iron. Iron on the label 2-3 mm down from the crease.
Stitch round your label to secure it in place.
Add velcro to the ties.
Fold right sides together and stitch side seams. Press. Then press in the final seam allowance.
Use bondaweb adhesive to close the final seam.
Measure your base fabric (folded in half) – next a little bit of maths to workout the placement of the cable ties. Place centrally, my fabric ties are spaced 2 and a half inches apart. They are secured with stitching in a rectangular shape.
Lastly fold the right sides of your roll together. Pin into place elastic, centrally along one of the shorter edges (dependent upon the volume of cables you have in your roll you may wish to alter the length of elastic you use).
Stitch round the sides, allow a turning gap.
Turn right side out and slip stitch seam together.
Your finished!!
I am delighted with one transformed drawer:)

I have been wondering if a sharpie pen could be used for thiose who do not have stamp pads:)
Tina says:
Great idea for travel. We recently went on a trip and misplaced one of our chargers.
Vicky says:
A great idea:) I find it especially confusing if several families are congregating together – does everyone have the right cable at the end of family weekend meet up?!
Ginny says:
What a great idea. Finding the right cable is the bane of my life. As your children get older it just adds to the confusion.
Vicky says:
I shall look forward to that:)!

That's a brilliant idea. My hubbies knows at a glance what lead is for what but I have NO idea unless it's labelled.
Vicky says:
So true – I have no idea either!!
Donna says:
Great idea! Somehow I just don't think we would ever actually get the cables back in the roll.
Vicky says:
So far so good, apart from the IPAD!!!
Irene says:
Lovely idea! So many cables laying around everywhere. But I'm not sure I would be structured enough to put the back in the roll every time 😉
Free Spirit Designs says:
This is such a great idea, cables just seem to breed in drawers! 🙂

A new deal to increase the use of the Moorways athletics track is to be announced by Derby City Council.
The new arrangements will see access to the track improved for Derby residents with a three month renewable pass that will eventually dovetail with the city's other sports facilities.
David Gale, a member of the University of Derby's Athletics Club has brokered the deal after seven months of negotiations with city council managers. Gale, who is in training for Masters 400 metres competition, initially approached the city council in September 2017 after realising that the track was not being used to its full potential.
David Gale said, "At first, I was focused on getting access to Moorways for the University of Derby's Athletics Club but I soon realised the potential to develop a package that would benefit everyone. I approached a number of councillors but their lack of action forced me to go it alone to get the job done."
The British Independents representative for Alvaston used his business experience to demonstrate the commercial potential of the track, allowing the city council to begin planning the new package which is due to be launched in May 2018.
Gale, a former athletics coach, said, "Derby Athletic Club already has a vibrant membership and excellent coaching resources but that is limited to Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings. Opening up Moorways just needed a bit of a shove, so I was happy to help the city council in formulating this exciting new project."

text: The 1980s opened with a plethora of quality dance music even if in the pop charts the death nail of disco had been sown with the infamous Chicago burning of vinyl. However, for Loleatta Holloway this would be the beginning of a period of relative obscurity and listening to this excellent album one wonders why. The title track was a dance floor smash, yet it was misleading in that the album as a whole was extremely soulful and could easily stand side by side with the likes of Anita, Luther Vandross and Bobby Womack, all of whom had successful careers during the new decade. There is a very 1980s feel to the soul stepper that is 'Short end of the stick' and it was co-produced by Patrick Moten (of Chapter Eight/Anita Baker 'The Songstress' fame) and Bobby Womack. Classic Philly strings and even harp predominate on 'Two became a crowd' while the uptempo 'I'll be standing there' may just be the second strongest cut on the album after the title track. And what an explosive dance hit 'Love Sensation' was and remains with no less than five version here including the revered Shepp Pettibone 12″ mix and two mixes by the great Tom Moulton. For quality ballads 'My way' is a precursor to the Anita Baker phenomenon and a superior quality production and little wonder when production duties were shared between Sigma and Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

One of the biggest complaints players of PoE on Xbox One is the long wait times before updates. The PC build of the game gets updates around a month earlier than the Xbox build. If you were wondering when Xbox players get the Oni-Goroshi, fortunately, the update for this new unique weapon on Xbox had come last Sunday, January 28.
The Oni-Goroshi
What is the Oni-Goroshi anyway? It's a unique one-handed sword. However, it doesn't let the player equip anything on the off-hand. Despite that, it still isn't considered a two-handed weapon. It grants the 'Her Embrace' buff for three seconds when an enemy is ignited.
The buff makes the player immune to stun, freeze, chill, ignite, and Burning Ground. It also gives a 20% increase in attack, cast and movement speed. Lastly, 123% of physical sword damage will be gained as extra fire damage. It has six linked sockets as a hidden mod, letting the sword ignore item level and socket limit of one-handed PoE items.
How to Get It
It's a somewhat repetitive process, only sped up a little by using different characters. It involves defeating the boss Hillock again and again without going back to the town, as doing that will close the area for further repetition. When the character is level 7 and above, the Oni-Goroshi will start spawning with the boss and will be dropped upon defeat. It isn't a hundred percent guarantee though. The only guarantee is that the sword will begin to appear at that point.
Continue enjoying Path of Exile with the new Oni-Goroshi! Collect more PoE orbs and other items or sweep enemies with this awesome new sword.

Home Theater
Home Theater / Media Rooms
If you love watching a great movie, ballgame, playing games like Wii, PS4 & X-Box, listening to your favorite music after a long day at work or just to entertain guest on the weekends, then we can help! Typically… we call a room either a Home Theater or Home Cinema Room, when it is decorated like a movie theater. In a room like this… you would probably have acoustic treatments on the walls, maybe some curtains, an acoustically transparent front wall to hide the speakers & wrap the screen & possibly even additional rows of chairs. Then when you take the movie theater type decorations away… you have a Media Room. Both are separate rooms in the home that are used exclusively for watching movies, ballgames, listening to music & playing video games. Here at Blue Grass Home Entertainment, Inc. – we have the largest showroom in Kentucky for Home Theater & Home Automation Products, which are all set up in a 'Life Style' environment, so you can experience the system, before you actually have it delivered & setup in your home.

House GOP members led by Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (NC) have filed formal articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, according to a late Wednesday announcement by Meadows over Twitter.
I just filed a resolution with @Jim_Jordan and several colleagues to impeach Rod Rosenstein. The DOJ has continued to hide information from Congress and repeatedly obstructed oversight--even defying multiple Congressional subpoenas.— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) July 25, 2018
We have had enough.
News of the resolution comes after weeks of frustration by Congressional investigators, who have repeatedly accused Rosenstein and the DOJ of "slow walking" documents related to their investigations. Lawmakers say they've been given the runaround - while Rosenstein and the rest of the DOJ have maintained that handing over vital documents would compromise ongoing investigations.
Not even last week's heavily redacted release of the FBI's FISA surveillance application on former Trump campaign Carter Page was enough to dissuade the GOP lawmakers from their efforts to impeach Rosenstein. In fact, its release may have sealed Rosenstein's fate after it was revealed that the FISA application and subsequent renewals - at least one of which Rosenstein signed off on, relied heavily on the salacious and largely unproven Steele dossier.
In late June, Rosenstein along with FBI Director Christopher Wray clashed with House Republicans during a fiery hearing over an internal DOJ report criticizing the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation by special agents who harbored extreme animus towards Donald Trump while expressing support for Clinton. Republicans on the panel grilled a defiant Rosenstein on the Trump-Russia investigation which has yet to prove any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
"This country is being hurt by it. We are being divided," Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said of Mueller's investigation. "Whatever you got," Gowdy added, "Finish it the hell up because this country is being torn apart."
Rosenstein pushed back - dodging responsibility for decisions made by subordinates while claiming that Mueller was moving "as expeditiously as possible," and insisting that he was "not trying to hide anything."
"We are not in contempt of this Congress, and we are not going to be in contempt of this Congress," Rosenstein told lawmakers.
Congressional GOP were not impressed.
"For over eight months, they have had the opportunity to choose transparency. But they've instead chosen to withhold information and impede any effort of Congress to conduct oversight," said Representative Mark Meadows of North Carolina, a sponsor of Thursday's House resolution who raised the possibility of impeachment this week. "If Rod Rosenstein and the Department of Justice have nothing to hide, they certainly haven't acted like it." -New York Times (6/28/18)
And now, Rosenstein's fate is in the hands of Congress.

How to make a cup of Tea
So you don't know how to make tea, and there is nobody around to show you what to do,
Well then you have found the perfect How to make Tea guide, and I will help you to make tea fast and effectively.
1. So first things first, Find the kettle in your kitchen, and fill it up with water.
Remember that you only need enough water for the tea that you are going to make, so if you're going to make three cups of tea,
then only add three cups of water into the kettle, this will help in bringing down your electrical bill that can sometimes be a shocker.
2. Switch on your kettle and bring it to a boil
3. If you have a auto switch-off kettle, wait for it to stop boiling, otherwise wait for the steam to blow out of the kettle top, and then switch it off.
4. Leave the kettle to settle wile you prepare your cup.
5. Place your tea bag flat on the bottom of the cup, and put the preferred amount of sugar on-top of the tea bag.
6. Now pour the settled water into the cup, aiming for the tea bag, make sure the water goes through the tea bag, as this will increase
the flavor released from it.
7. Now the decision of how strong you would like your tea to be is all yours, for normal strength tea, let the tea sit there for around 1 minute.
the stronger the tea need to be the longer you have to let it stand with the tea bag in the cup.
8. If you have reached your desired strength, use your spoon to lift the tea bag out of the cup, and grab hold of one of the bag's corners.
9. Holding on the the one corner lift the bag out of the tea water and with the spoon squeeze the last bit of water our of it against the rim of the cup.
10. If you prefer milk in your tea, now is the time to add your milk into the tea mixture, don't put too much milk in as this will make your tea too white and cold,
and also remove most of the tea flavor. ( You can drink your tea without milk if you want, but that all comes down to personal choice. It is also said that drinking
your tea without milk, has allot of health benefits. If you prefer not to drink with milk, and need to cool down the tea, you can use a little cold water just as you would use milk.)
11. Now stir your tea slowly and make sure all the sugar and milk ( if used ) is completely mixed and dissolved into the tea water mix.
12. Time to Enjoy your tea, go sit down and relax while sipping on your refreshing tea.
Have a great Tea Party !!!

Tis a Pity She's a HOA
Equally galling, it seems to me, (though not equally serious, I will admit) is the practice of giving money to a home owners association which will in turn bully you and threaten to fine you if you don't follow some set of "community standards" that was drafted back when your neighborhood was built. It's one thing for people to harass you about your house. But paying them to do so just seems wrong.
I searched pretty hard to find a neighborhood without an HOA when we moved out to Texas, but alas, unless you move out onto land away from the suburbs, they seem to be everywhere here.
All this springs to mind because I had to go to the annual HOA meeting last night. If they don't have at least 10% of the homes represented, they have to hold another meeting. And this was already their second go-around. So I went, and listened to an hour and a half of wrangling where old people (only one other attendee looked under 50) with too much time and bitterness on their hands complained about how there were people with old cars and boats in their driveways.
Call me laissez-faire, but I don't believe any degree of mutual harassment will raise housing values in our neighborhood of ten-year-old 1400-2000 square foot homes when they are building brand new 3000+ square foot houses for under 200k not three miles away.

HOAs are absolutely evil. I'd rather live in a cardboard box than be held hostage to a bunch meddlesome Nazis. At least it would be MY box...

You know, I saw that play in the library just the other day. I keep meaning to read it, if for no other reason than to be able to tell people that I've read it.

We currently rent in a condo community with an extremely viligent HOA committee. They are pretty amazing... you'd think they could come up with better ways to spend their time than counting the number of days since a car has been moved or watching to be sure everyone puts their garbage cans away quickly and in the correct locations. And woe to you if you let your grass grow too long or get a few weeds in your driveway cracks!
Luckily we've been able to lie low and avoid notice, but still I'm really looking forward to moving out of here!

Austin seems to be HOA-crazy in particular. My time in Dallas, I never lived in an HOA neighborhood, however they were older neighborhoods to begin with. I imagine if you venture outward some towards Plano & Frisco, you may see a higher incidence of HOA's.
I share your disdain for HOA's. They are a busy-body's paradise.
- The Opinionated Homeschooler said...
Come to central Austin ... the neighborhood associations don't care what your yard or house look like, up to the point you actually abandon your home and return only weekly to leave food for the raccoons and assorted wildlife who are asserting squatters' rights in it (not making this up!).
You can even afford a house big enough for a large-ish family if you, like us, are clever enough to buy one with notorious foundation problems. And you find growing drywall cracks interesting rather than alarming.

Swiss giant Nestle is still the biggest food company in the world but one of its main rivals Kraft just got much bigger with the successful absorption of £12bn Cadbury, in financial terms anyway, making it now the clear number two in food.
Kraft has also upped the ante in the food stakes by increasing its marketing budget substantially and hiring a clutch of creative agencies like current fave Crispin Porter + Bogusky, now charged with reviving Jello and Milka.
Nestle is still sitting on the $28bn it trousered when it sold its stake in US eyecare company Alcon to Novartis and hasn't pulled off a really big deal for years. It stayed on the sidelines in the battle over Cadbury, probably reasoning that the EU would have taken a dim view if it had wanted to get any bigger in chocolate.
But there are lots of other areas in could look at apart from food. In September it announced it was to invest $500m in a 'health sciences' start-up and there are numerous companies out there with stakes in that nascent industry that it could buy.
Household goods company Reckitt Benckiser has demonstrated the gains to be made from heavily marketed consumer pharmaceutical products with the returns it is making on brands like Clearasil, Nurofen and Stepsils, acquired from Boots five years ago for what now looks like a bargain £1.9bn.
And back in food there are companies like the UK's Premier Foods which is currently suffering the after-effects of a £2bn acquisition spree that brought brands like Bisto, Branson, Hovis, Mr Kipling and Sharwood's into its stable.
Such brands are often decried as ex-growth in the UK and Europe but that largely depends on what you do with them and how much money you're prepared to put into the exercise, as RB has demonstrated. Unilever also has some unloved food brands like Marmite in need of a new home.
And with consumers in places like China, India and Indonesia showing an increased appetite for Western-type food (meat mostly) that's another reason to revalue them.
My spies tell me Nestle is definitely up to something. But what will it be?

I remember that time
we were walking
along the Holyoke ridge
and you said,
"It looks like these
are basalt columns
that thrust up
through the earth
about 200 million years ago,"
and I thought,
"he just wants to sound
like he's smart,"
but the plaque
at the end of the trail
said almost exactly
what you had.
Another time
we were talking on the phone
and you mentioned
that some days
you only try to have
as much motivation
as is needed
to do the immediate
next thing,
such as reach the doorknob
and leave a room,
and I thought,
"he's just trying
to sound inspirational,"
but many many years later
I still think about
what a helpful perspective
you offered me.
Now, I'm glad
that despite my momentary cynicisms
I got to see your mind
functioning well.

World War I in Lawrence: 10 Journal-World employees report for duty
The Lawrence Journal-World was to face challenges in the coming year, as several of its staff had enlisted in the military. Even considering the inconvenience that this would entail, the company appeared proud that so many of its men were to serve, either as volunteers or after having been called in the initial draft:
"It is doubtful if any publication in the United States will be represented in the army by as large a percentage of present and former employes as the Journal-World. It will be remembered by some that the call to the Mexican border last year, took six men from the Journal-World office, but that number has now increased to ten. Even with this big list the paper is not to escape, for the thirtieth number reported this morning calls for Cargill Sproull, who is to be city editor in the place of Capt. Murray. This means that with the next call for men Mr. Sproull will have to leave his post on the paper to join the men in the field. Among those actively in the service of the Journal-World who are either serving under a former enlistment, or have recently enlisted, are:
Capt. J. W. Murray, Managing Editor.
2nd Lieut. Clinton Kanaga, Advertising Manager.
George W. Smith, Reporter.
Earl A. Farris, Advertising compositor.
Sam Harvey, Pressman.
R. B. Church, Pressman.
A. G. Hill, University reporter.
Ormond Hill, University reporter.
Lawrence Bowersock, carrier.
E. W. Thomasson, Compositor.
"… There were still others who offered their services, but who were unable to pass the examination owing to minor disqualifications. It is certainly a list of which to be proud, not only as to numbers, but as to men."

Panama City Beach Stingray Season
Stingrays, how About no
I know you think these creatures are after you, but I can assure you that are not here to hurt you. Well at least not intentionally. Most animals don't attack unless provoked. You might not even know that you had taunted them before something happens. The small stingrays feel threatened extremely easy because they are so timid, so we have to keep a look out for them at all times while it is stingray season. When are they here? How can we be safe? These questions and more will be answered. The season is almost over too, so we don't need to be worried about getting in the water now. Even if we did want to swim when season was over, it might be too cold.
Stingray Season is When?
The months that these animals are here are from April to October. So they are going to be on the beaches during the most popular times when we have the most tourists. I have seen them in July and August before. There must have been at least four hundred swimming throughout the emerald waters. It's during these months that they bury themselves in the sand on shallow waters so they don't get attacked by sharks or larger stingrays. So how can you be prepared for the water? You know that tiny drop off that is anywhere between three to ten meters from the shore? That is where stingrays love to bury themselves the most. So as long as you swim past it or don't go out too far without a kayak or jet ski you will be okay. You just have to be cautious and watch the water.
Bay Point Water Sports
So if you're in a situation to where you really want to get out on the water, just come to us here at Bay Point Water Sports. We can help you with any and all aquatic needs to make sure your Panama City Beach vacation is the best one that you've ever had. Here is all of our activities. For anymore information, please don't hesitate to contact us because we have you covered!

Product Description
Pack of 3 nappy nippa fasteners, ideal for use with terry squares and prefolds, can also be used on fitted nappies that have no fastenings of their own.
Nappy or Snappi nippas are the safe new way to fasten your baby's nappy without sticking baby or yourself with sharp safety pins. Simply put the nappy on, hold the nappy nippa in place then stretch and grip three ways. The nippas don't pierce the nappy like pins, so there's no risk to you or your baby, and you won't weaken or tear the towelling fabric. They are quick and easy to use, which is important when baby is fretful, or your toddler won't keep still.
No matter how you fold your nappies, or how big your child is, because they're stretchy the nippas will fit any nappy and any baby.
Colours - the nippas come pre-packed in packs of 3, so most of the colours you can choose from will have 3 the same in the pack. The exceptions are "Assorted" which has 3 different gender neutral colours in, and "Neon Mix" which has all 3 of the neon colours in. Most colours can also be ordered as singles.

I'm using the default Cessna 172P and the tutorials seem to be coming out of the Barcelona airport. The only tuts I've been able to completely get through without them sticking are pre flight, start up and take off. When I want to come out of tutorial mode I go to select airport and pick Prague then I can practice not in tutorial mode.
As explained in my first post a few days ago I am completely new to flight sims and on a very slow metered Internet connection, so not sure if I will be able to conquer this quite complex programme. Although today for the first time I got off the ground and actually stayed up for a few minutes, yippee

Dan, played by Penn Badgley, explained his reason behind starting the blog, saying, "The Upper East Side was like something from Fitzgerald or Thackeray -- teenagers acting like adults, adults acting like teenagers, guarding secrets, spreading gossip all with the trappings of truly opulent wealth. And membership into this community was so elite you couldn't even buy your way in."
He continued, "All I had to compare it to was what I read in books. But that gave me the idea: I wasn't born into this world… maybe I could write myself into it" -- and that's what he did.
In other news, Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) were finally married after six years of drama.
The last scene of the episode took place five years later, flashing to Dan and Serena's (Blake Lively) wedding day.
Spoiler! Who is 'Gossip Girl'?
Actress Kristen Bell may have voiced the notorious XOXO "Gossip Girl" sign-off, but in a surprising series finale twist, Dan Humprey aka Lonely Boy, was revealed as the person behind wreaking havoc on the Upper East Side.

Expert Guide
Bid Management
Tactical Playbook for Search Engine Advertising
Dear Online Marketers,
have you already found the perfect tactic for reaching potential customers efficiently via search engines?
SEA remains the most direct way of detecting users with genuine motivation to buy and enticing them into your own shop. The goal here is clear: maximise the effectiveness of the budget used and achieve the highest possible increase in revenue. However, it is not long before you hit a brick wall if you are managing keywords on Google AdWords manually. Firstly, because you could free up the time spent on the task and use it more productively. Secondly, because intelligent algorithms in a Bid Management tool can complete much more detailed and complex evaluations of campaign performance than a human being. Or put a different way, instead of being on the field yourself and trying to steal the ball, you can do it whilst sat comfortably on the trainer's bench and make your SEA campaigns successful using the right tactics. In football, a trainer is often only as good as his last game and he is always at risk to be sacked. This will not happen to you because you will find everything you need in this Expert Guide for becoming the Pep Guardiola of search engine advertising. This will enable you to delegate much of the work to Bid Management as the assistant trainer.

Reports of problems with the iOS 5 upgrade flooded Apple's support forum today.
It's unclear why users are not able to upgrade, but the snafu may be due to swamped servers on Apple's end.
Users said they encountered installation errors near the tail end of the installation process, after iTunes downloaded the update and backed up the device.
iPhone and iPad owners reported a variety of error messages, and many said they had tried to upgrade to iOS 5 multiple times, from different computers running iTunes and to numerous devices, all without success.
"I have two iPads, and two iPhone 3GS. All are coming up with same error on three different machines," said a user identified only as "Garyuk" on one of several quickly-growing threads on Apple's "Using iPhone" support forum. "One Windows machine and two Mac's and all are getting same error. I think [iOS 5] is flawed and there is something very seriously wrong with the code or the way it tries to wipe and restore."
Apple first offered iOS 5 on its download servers at around 1 p.m. ET.
Some believe that the problem is on Apple's end -- possibly due to overloaded servers -- because the error messages pop up at the point where iTunes tries to connect with Apple.
"To anyone getting 'An internal error occurred (3200)' while installing iOS 5.0, Apple's servers are swamped, and failing half the requests," said Jay Freeman on Twitter
Freeman is a noted iOS "jailbreaker" and the developer behind Cydia, a tool that lets owners of hacked iPhones find and install apps not authorized by Apple.
Suggestions abounded on Apple's support forum about how to sidestep the errors and complete the upgrade, ranging from switching off the Mac's or Windows PC's firewall to deleting the existing backup.
In some cases, users said such suggestions had worked for them, but just as many -- if not more -- reported that they had not.
A few people claimed that their attempts to upgrade to iOS 5 had "bricked" their iPhones, making them unusable.
Many iPhone and iPad users today said they were unable to upgrade to iOS 5, and were seeing a wide range of error messages, including this one.

We're launching our coverage of Legion with a packed episode chatting about the first three episodes of season 1. There is a LOT to talk about here, and we went into this with 10+ pages of notes on everything from the characters' powers to the many references and homages prevalent in the series to the meaning of reality.
As mentioned in the episode, I created a survey on the most popular theories thus far, and I'd love for you all to take it! Here is the link. I will be going over the results in our episode 4 podcast, so tune in next week for that.

Euro Disney: The First 100 days
The Walt Disney Company is the company that has several successful theme parks in the world, and every person around the world wants to go visit their theme parks. However, their overseas expansion in Paris, France was not very successful as their other theme parks in the United States and Japan. Their target market was focus on children and young adult all over the Europe, the problem was that their target range was too broad. Covering all over the Europe was ungovernable for Euro Disney because there are too many countries that have different languages and different cultures. Also, Europeans was not very open to American culture to accept as Japanese did because Japanese people had been entertained through Disney's cartoons and movies but European had not.
People who visited Euro Disney was not satisfied with customer service in Euro Disney. The customers definitely expected the high quality of service as other Disney theme parks, but the European employees did not provide the high-quality service as American employee did.
Also, the cultural difference between Americans and Europeans caused the dissatisfaction about the service. For instance, the Disney Company banned to drink alcoholic beverage in the Euro Disney Land as they did in other locations. Americans thought that the interests of children must be put first in an amusement park definitely, but Europeans did not agree with that position even though they are parents of children. Drinking wine was very ordinary thing for European people, and they did not even think drinking wine is bad for children. Thus, Disney's position about not drinking alcohol in the theme park sparked the French people's strong opposition. Finally, the company allowed drinking wine in the Euro Disney about a decade after the opening. This example shows...

Made in Chelsea hottie Millie Mackintosh was looking fierce in leather trousers and a furry coat at the Very Christmas party in Soho on Wednesday night.
Pro Green's girl showed off her svelte figure in what could be the tightest trousers EVER at the swanky event at the Vinyl Factory , and at one stage she accessorised with a festive panda hat.
The brunette beauty, who married her rapper beau earlier this summer, was also seen having her make-up done - and being made to look more gorgeous than she already is (if that's possible).
And as she stood to pose for photographers, we couldn't help but feel endlessly envious of her endless legs.
They are the best legs in showbiz. FACT.
Her new hubby was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of perverting the course of justice .
But there's been no sign that Millie was embarrassed or cross about it .
Instead of being in the dog house, the rapper got to enjoy some steamy Twitter banter.
After Millie posted a photo of a huge pool and sauna room, he replied admitting he wanted a morning swim himself even if there was no chance of it happening.
He wrote: "I need that in my life, sadly chlorine in a bath tub is as close as I'll get."
And Millie cheekily replied: "I'll happily share the bath."
Then Green - real name Stephen Manderson - joked: "May have to invest in a bigger one."

I wanted to get real with all of you, and let you know a little secret that a lot of vitamin companies already know. Lots of the folic acid (or folate for short) that you find in supplements are a synthetic version of folic acid. So, what does that mean? It means that you could not be metabolizing folic acid properly, and are not only wasting your time, but your money as well. Additionally, a whopping 70 percent of people…

Keep Skin Feeling Well With MyChelle
Since I was pregnant with my first child, I was continuously on the hunt for skincare products that are safe to use while pregnant and nursing. Believe me when I say that I've found many… many that didn't work. They left my face super dry, never took my makeup fully off, or simply didn't provide a good makeup base that I so desperately needed. As frustrated as I was, I continued to search and stumbled across a few skincare lines…

Congress works to avert shutdown but still no money for Trump wall
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Cοngress οn Thursday steered toward preventing a partial federal shutdown as leaders hoped fοr final passage of a tempοrary gοvernment funding bill that still leaves President Dοnald Trump without mοney fοr his prοmised bοrder wall.
Trump attacked Demοcrats again fοr nοt suppοrting the wall and said he would nοt sign any legislatiοn that does nοt include it, pοssibly threatening the spending bill that Cοngress is negοtiating.
It was nοt clear, however, whether Trump was referring to the funding bill that passed the Senate late οn Wednesday that is to be debated by the House οr Representatives, οr whether the warning was aimed at legislatiοn Demοcrats might advance next year.
The White House was nοt immediately available fοr cοmment.
Rank-and-file House Republicans left a closed-doοr meeting with their leaders giving cοnflicting views οn whether Trump would sign into law the bill that would keep abοut 25 percent of federal prοgrams operating beyοnd midnight οn Friday when existing mοney expires.
The House is expected to act οn the legislatiοn later this week.
"The Demοcrats, who knοw Steel Slats are necessary fοr Bοrder Security, are putting pοlitics over Country," Trump said οn Twitter οn Thursday mοrning. "What they are just beginning to realize is that I will nοt sign any of their legislatiοn, including infrastructure, unless it has perfect Bοrder Security. U.S.A. WINS!"
Trump appeared to be referring to legislatiοn Demοcrats might try to advance in 2019, when they take cοntrοl of the House frοm Republicans.
In a late-night sessiοn οn Wednesday, the Senate apprοved a bill to prοvide mοney to keep a series of prοgrams operating thrοugh Feb. 8. But it defied the president by refusing to give him any of the $5 billiοn he demanded to build a wall alοng the U.S.-Mexicο bοrder, his key campaign prοmise.
Last week in a meeting with Demοcratic House leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate leader Chuck Schumer Trump had said he would be "prοud to shut down the gοvernment fοr bοrder security."
Cοngress' midnight Friday deadline was fοr funneling mοney to finance federal law enfοrcement activities, airpοrt security screenings, space explοratiοn and farm prοgrams, to name a few.
But instead of resolving the budget impasse with a funding bill to keep several federal agencies operating thrοugh next September, the end of this fiscal year, the Senate apprοved οnly a seven-week extensiοn of existing funds.
Demοcrats and several of Trump's own Republicans have balked at mοney fοr a wall that the president argues would stop the illegal flow of immigrants and drugs into the United States.
With Demοcrats taking cοntrοl of the House οn Jan. 3, it will be even harder fοr Trump to win mοney fοr a bοrder wall.
"When House Demοcrats assume cοntrοl in two weeks, my primary fοcus will be to pass reasοnable spending legislatiοn that does nοt fund President Trump's wasteful wall," said Demοcratic Representative Nita Lowey, who in 2019 will chair the House Apprοpriatiοns Committee, which writes gοvernment funding legislatiοn.
Meantime, Trump administratiοn officials were looking fοr ways to build the wall, which the president initially had pledged Mexicο would pay fοr, by reassigning mοney already doled out to U.S. agencies fοr other prοjects.
The White House has nοt prοvided details of that effοrt but leading Demοcrats have warned that shifting funds arοund in such a way would have to be apprοved by Cοngress.
Republican Representative Mark Meadows, the leader of a grοup of hard-right cοnservatives, told repοrters that if this tempοrary spending bill is enacted, Republican candidates in 2020 will suffer.
"He campaigned οn the wall" in 2016, Meadows said. "It was the center of his campaign ... the American people's patience is running out," he said.
