i sit on a marble curb in washington park, waiting for a wireless signal. i discovered one that comes in on the wind now and then. a stolen connection. but i have become tired of having to buy something everytime i want to check my email.
the sun is out, but i found a spot shaded by a big maple tree. i look down at my feet and study the debris closely , leaves, cardboard from a chocolate bar, clear plastic wrappers, cigarette butts, twigs, a piece of glass.
what if you could only make art out of what you found on the street? in a way i already do. i put the pieces together in my mind, combing textures, piling things on top of each other, contrasting colors.
i listen to the sounds of my new surroundings, (new thoughts about sound were inspired by an article by Pauline Oliveros that my husband quoted to me this morning over breakfast. She founded a movement called 'deep listening'. and i make a note to see if i can audit her class.)
trees moving in the breeze, the distant hum of cars, the typing on my keyboard, the tick of a bike coasting quickly, birds. it has been a while since I've spent a summer in a city environment. i had forgotten the sounds.
my head is jumbled with all of the things i think i should be doing right now. work on the book projects. i will get to it soon. what i want to do is read about eva hesse, and the writings of john cage which i just ordered. or ride my bike to the woods. i hope the summer does not pass me by unnoticed. too much time spent doing, not enough being.
the jasmine tea sits cold in my purple mug.

I read blogs way too much but only just now when I read this did I get for a second how amazing it is that it's daytime for you right now, (you must have posted this very recently since usually when I read your posts there are already about 30 comments) you're sitting under a tree – and here I am in a city (London) at my messy desk, exhausted from work today and checking your blog for a hit of inspiration before I go to bed. I've spent most of the summer either in this city or Paris and it's been one of the best ever. You sound very at peace there in the city… p.s your 100 ideas always gives me the creative jumpstart I need – thank you
8:23 pm
Such poerty you have left us today.
I'm glad you have shared this little piece.

Welcome to your new home. Theres so much in this post that is beautiful, but I think I love most is the passing sentence about your husband reading to you over breakfast-how amazing that you two found each other, each as curious and striving as the other.

Mmmmmm jasmine tea…
10:10 pm
Listening deeply and looking at the minutiae ( spelling?) has always interested me. Your post has reminded me how I do it automatically now throughout my day. I thing starting my blog was in response to some of those sights and sounds.
Thankyou for reminding me.
10:49 am
I would like to reiterate to posters that I do not allow anonymous posts on my site. There are many reasons for this, but the main one is if I take responsiblity for my words (and all that that entails) I would like people to be accountable for their opinions and thoughts here as well. I do not have a problem with someone who does not agree with my beliefs, but I believe it is unfair to share your feelings and not allow me to respond to you directly.
11:18 am
Can't wait to hear more about your new town. I'm enjoying your writing.
5:03 pm
Great job http://phentermine-online.cq.bz/ phentermin19
7:44 pm
Glad to see your additional note about anonymous postings! I was thinking about how frustrated you might be about that all afternoon. Indeed I would be beyond annoyed if I wasn't able to respond to the anonymous poster's comment. Although I too have mused about how luxurious it might be to have the time to fill a page with small circles and to color them in… I never fail to notice how your suggestions and your writing inspires me and an entire group of loyal fans. You are remarkable – a virtual therapist. Thank you for keeping me on track when it comes to creativity, and don't EVER doubt that you should be doing "more" for society. Really, you do more than you know!
8:41 pm
I'm pretty sure the Rensselaer train station has free wireless- and it's a nice space, too!
11:53 pm
sunday last, i walked with a visiting friend and my daughter, showed them the table top OCAD building, headed for dim sum on dundas just east of spadina (3rd floor place can't remember the name, really a simple name)(golden mile??), walked down spadina with some festival going on and traffic not allowed except for the streetcars, turned left onto queen and started walking, pointing out peach beserk,the ants on the cameron,arton beads, and finally romni wool,her desired destination as a knit nut. she was in heaven, and my daughter was bored and catnapped in the wool at the back of the sale section downstairs where a nice 21 year old showed us her striped socks she was knitting , then we met my friend's family and the rest of mine, at the base of the cn tower awaiting their descent down, while my kids found those ice cream dots in a cup for sale in banana split flavour. see how far you've come ??? gathering new memories.
11:02 am
Good to "hear" from you again. I have been wondering how you are…check your site regularly (have been reading for three years).
Yours is my favorite sight for inspiration!
9:44 am
you are inspirational – thank you for making me smile and remember and ponder and think and realise and wonder and wish and know and create and —– just be me!!
I will be coming back frequently – and am now going to go and make myself some jasmine tea.
Thank you kerismith!
11:10 am
I love all the details you share here. It makes me feel like I am sitting there right next to you.

Why Are Huge Corporations Gardening?
While browsing the New York Times, I came across something interesting – corporate gardens! The word "gardening" often evokes images of eco-friendly, healthy, creative, people – definitely not multi-million or billion dollar companies that too-often crush local economy and healthier alternatives in favor of cost-cutting options. Although it sometimes seems as if the entire world is orchestrated by these giant corporations, the minority has been heard: organic food and gardening, environmentally-friendly materials and buying local are IN; while giant discount chain stores and gas-guzzling, earth-polluting vehicles are OUT. Finally, healthy food and environmentally-friendly ways of growing/purchasing food are trendy!
If you've never gardened before but would like to learn, here's everything you need to know to grow you own vegetable garden and herb garden.
I was shocked to learn that PepsiCo had its own organic garden right outside the corporate headquarters. I was nothing if not skeptical. How is this green-thumb facade making them more money, I wondered. Well, it turns out that companies are allowing employee members not only to get their inner-farmer on, but are also offering employees free or a minimal flat rate ($10 a year) access to all the greens they can carry home.
Interestingly enough, it took a major economic downturn to get companies focused in the right direction. The corporate gardening initiative began shortly after companies realized they couldn't afford raises and bonuses or even the free tickets to the ball game that used to be a give-in. Instead, companies dug up a plot of land, planted some seeds and offered crops to their employees. While these gardens maybe do not seem desirable when acting as a replacement for a raise or other company perk, they give back in a huge way. Imagine the fruits, vegetables and spices you would walk away with if your company said you have the freedom to pick and choose whatever produce you can carry home. It would add up to a lot of money not spent at your local grocery store.
Not only do these gardens save money, but they promote a healthier lifestyle that is accessible. Often, people opt for regular produce because of the hefty price increase for buying organic; however, now organic produce is at the fingertips of many who might not normally purchase it. Corporate gardens are an extremely important statement to the public. They're saying, "It's possible to live in a capitalist economy and take care of our selves and our planet at the same time."
It probably doesn't shock you to learn that Google also has a garden. They use a product called EarthBox, which allows people to garden without much space and water. They are essentially gardens in a container (see picture up top).
While corporate gardens are beginning to take off, they also risk being quickly dropped. Fortunately, Google has a partnership with The Growing Connection, but many companies rely on employee volunteers. Some corporations that started a garden last year had a difficult time finding volunteers to plant this year Hopefully, corporations can find innovative ways to keep people participating and eating the healthier – free – options.
If your looking for healthier recipes to go along with your fresh produce, try searching by the vegetable of fruit you want the dish to feature!
Do you work at a company with a corporate garden? If so, how does it work? Do employees have free unlimited access to the food? Do they help plant and grow the produce? If your company doesn't have a garden, you might consider proposing the idea, especially if you work at a place with a cafeteria, where growing fruits and veggies could save money.

Rumor or fact? Whacky fable or true story? Reports speak of Microsoft's new feature in Windows 8.1 that allows users a direct boot to the desktop! An unheard of option till date, is this a revolutionary new feature to surpass the likes of arch-rival Apple? A new feat in the era of touch computing!
According to sources, there is embedded code in Windows 8.1 that directs a user to the desktop directly by disabling the Metro Start screen. The update, if it really exists is a relief to Windows 8 users who did not appreciate the tiled Metro Screen. Users that have upgraded from Windows 7 will have to get the hang of using a touch OS to start with and then tiles and charms offered by the Windows 8 ecosystem! Bypassing the Metro Screen would make it easier for most users to migrate from Windows 7 to Microsoft's touch OS that is makes huge waves across phone, laptop and tablet markets worldwide!
There are existing workarounds that allow users to hit the desktop directly but this one that comes from the horse's mouth is a real boon for less than fond-of Metro Screen users. This is a legal bypass, so to speak and will not result in OS mishaps that could happen with other methods. The 8.1 bypass option is endorsed by its makers – Microsoft!
As expected, there is no word from the company about Windows 8.1 or the Metro Start Screen bypass code or anything else. Microsoft is playing this one close to the chest. Eager beavers will only know in June, once Microsoft holds its Build Conference!

On 30 June, the FA announced that Doncaster Belles had been unsuccessful in their appeal to remain in the Women's Super League (WSL).
The appeal was made following the FA's decision back in April, after just one game of the current season, that Doncaster Belles would play in the second tier of the WSL when it expands to two divisions in 2014 .
The fact that 22 consecutive years in the top flight could be brought to an end by an administrative process has shocked football fans across the country. An online petition urging the FA to reconsider has attracted nearly 10,000 signatures for a club whose home attendance is rarely more than 800 people.
That the Belles lost their appeal is no great surprise. The FA is not an organisation synonymous with transparency, as such the criteria by which it allocated places in the expanded two divisions of the WSL remains unclear.
Moreover, until the appeal was lodged, Belles themselves had no idea why their application had been unsuccessful and even then the club received only a redacted disclosure. This revealed that following the first round of evaluation the club was in sixth place, but dropped to ninth after the second round. The comparative reasons for these preliminary and final positions are not known, due to legalities of making information contained in the other WSL applications available.
Understandably the other clubs were reluctant to make available the confidential information contained therein. In short, as appeal procedures go, it's fair to say that this one leaves something to be desired.
Lawyers connected with the club suggest that this lack of clarity provides grounds to lodge a legal objection. Barrister Carl Lygo, CEO of BPP University College, has pulled no punches. Questioning publicly the 'independence' of the FA's Independent Appeals Panel when it consisted of "two members of the FA sitting with the FA's usual lawyer. Case law in sport says that's not independent."
Lygo is not suggesting any impropriety, rather that the constitution of the appeal panel makes it "difficult for the public to have any faith in this judgment. It is partial and therefore displays bias."
Whether or not Lygo is correct, it does raise the question of whether the closed nature of both the bidding process and the appeal might leave the FA open to accusations of gerrymandering.
Some of the reasoning does seem strange. For example, one of the areas where Doncaster Belles' bid appears to have fallen short is relation to its use of the Keepmoat Stadium for home fixtures.
Owned by Doncaster City Council, the Keepmoat is a brand-new, 15,000 all-seater stadium. It is also the home of Championship club Doncaster Rovers and by some distance, the best ground in the League (the mighty Arsenal and Chelsea play their matches at non-league Borehamwood and Staines respectively). The Keepmoat was also the venue for the 2013Women's FA Cup Final.
The 'problem' surrounds Belles' inability to guarantee exclusive use 24 hours either side of their fixtures. Instead, the club guaranteed the availability of its 6:00pm Saturday kick-off time. This was deemed insufficient.
One can't help inferring that a move to a basic non-league stadium nearby - say Bawtry Town - would provide a solution. Yet at the same time, surely it would be no solution at all.
However, this and the FA's other main bones of contention - the low percentage of turnover spent on wages and lack of marketing spend - appear to be little more than flim-flam when one considers what would happen if Doncaster Belles were to actually win the WSL2 next season. If this not unrealistic scenario were to transpire, the FA has confirmed that Belles would definitely be promoted back to the top flight.
Whither then, the arguments about the ground availability and everything else? Why do Belles meet the criteria for membership in 2015, but not 2013? Ludicrous.
Aside from the issues with the bid itself, thereappear to be possible grounds for objection to the FA's stated rationale behind a top flight containing just eight teams. It on page 31 of 'The Decision and Reasons of the Independent Appeals Panel' and seems to run contrary to the spirit of European Employment law:
"If 10 FA WSL1 licences are offered, this may impact on quality and competitiveness of FA WSL1 and dilute the quality of FA WSL2 and reserves. It may also result in an influx of more Welsh, Scottish, Irish and other EU and non-EU players."
While the club is involved in legal discussions with the FA it is bound to silence. This has certainly had an impact on the level of publicity the case has received, which has remained modest. However, if the club were to seek restitution through the legal system - as appears likely - then the FA might find a much wider audience is drawn into the debate.
At the moment, it's difficult to find anyone outside Lancaster Gate (and one imagines, Manchester City the primary beneficiaries) who agrees with this decsion. To engage a wider audience, Belles will have to convince fans not only of the injustice, but that that there are wider reaching implications. For example, in the long-term a franchising model would offer an opportunity to increase revenue once the television money plateaus, which it inevitably will.
Were this case to achieve greater notoriety outside the niche of the women's football, the FA could well end up with the profile raising story - in scale at least - that the WSL is crying out for.

Past is Present
Awhile back, I got a message from Poisoned Pen Press informing me that they had received a call from a cousin-by-marriage of my father's, who had read The Old Buzzard Had It Coming, and was anxious to get hold of me. Of course, rather than give out my number,the press contacted me with the information so that I could call her if I wanted.
I haven't seen my cousin for almost forty years, but I did certainly remember her and her family, and called her. As it turns out, my father's cousin is living in my great-grandfather's house. Though not exactly the same, this is the very house, Dear Reader, that I use as the model for my heroine Alafair's house in my books. My great-grandparents, George and Alafair, and their kids (including my grandmother ), moved from Hayden, KY, into that house outside of Boynton, OK, in 1911, and lived in it for the rest of their lives. The house stayed in the family after my great-grandparents died. I hadn't seen the house in twenty-five years, until my cousin invited me to go out and have a look at it when I went back to Oklahoma for the Hornswoggled book tour. It is much improved since I used to run around in the yard with all the other barefoot little great-grandkids, eating boiled chicken feet and jumping off the roof of the hen house.
My brother-in-law was somewhat amazed at my assertion that I had eaten boiled chicken feet as a child. He noted quite rightly that there nothing much edible about chicken feet. So I feel I should clarify that my great-aunt Mary boiled entire chicken legs below the joint, feet attached, and gave them to the little kids to eat. I expect she thought the little kids would enjoy the fact that they looked rather gross. I certainly did.

1928 Wineville Chicken Coop murders...
Item # 570624
September 18, 1928
THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, September 18, 1928
* Wineville Chicken Coop murders
* Christine and Walter Collins
* Gordon Stewart Northcott
* Hollywood movie 'Changeling'
This 60 page newspaper has one column headlines on page 16 that include: "BONES ARE FOUND AT 'MURDER FARM" "Los Angeles Police Believe They Have Corroboration of Boy's Story" "NORTHCOTT STILL SOUGHT"
Tells of the Wineville Chicken Coop murders when the 1st pieces of evidence came to light. These murders were featured in the Clint Eastwood movie 'Changeling' starring Angelina Jolie.
Other news of the day with much on the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane in Florida. Light browning, otherwise good.
wikipedia notes: The Wineville Chicken Coop Murders — also known as the Wineville Chicken Murders — was a series of kidnappings and murders of young boys occurring in Los Angeles and Riverside County, California, in 1928. The case received national attention and events related to it exposed corruption in the Los Angeles Police Department. The 2008 film Changeling is based upon events related to this case.
In 1926, Saskatchewan-born ranch owner Gordon Stewart Northcott took his 13-year-old nephew, Sanford Clark (with the permission of Sanford's mother and reluctant father), from his home in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Before his sister, Jessie Clark, told the police about the situation, Northcott had beaten and sexually abused Clark.[4] In September 1928, the Los Angeles Police Department visited the Northcott Ranch in Wineville. Police found Clark at the ranch and took him into custody.
Clark claimed that Northcott had kidnapped, molested, beaten, and killed three young boys with the apparent help of Northcott's mother, Sarah Louise Northcott. Clark said quicklime was used to dispose of the remains, and that the bodies were buried at the Wineville ranch. Authorities found shallow graves exactly where Sanford Clark had stated that they could be found at Wineville. It was later learned that the bodies had been dug up by Gordon Northcott, (once Gordon knew that the Police were onto him) and were dumped in the desert, where they were never recovered. There were only partial remains of hair, blood and bones found at the Wineville burial sites.

Atmosfear: Is climate change really that scary?
By Aphra Murray, Staff Writer
Climate change is scary, and here's the chilling scenes of yet another once in every 500-year weather event that has killed people. This is the usual headline that is running across most news outlets in the US in response to recent environmental events. As recent as the past week, two UK scientists have announced that climate change isn't as scary as people might think, and that the media only succeeds in whipping the general public into a frenzy. According to these two scientists, what we really need to focus on, is preparing to deal with these severe weather patterns. But aren't we tricking ourselves into putting a band-aid on a wound that acts like a black hole?
The media is well known for having a creative license when reporting on stories, and the more fantastical and bizarre headlines create more viewership or readership. But should we really be scared about climate change? Here are some of the facts:
- There have been a predicted a one in every 500-year weather events in the US alone in the past year.
A one in every 500-year weather event should be just that, once every 500 years. It is most definitely scary. These are abnormal weather patterns occurring because of increased human activity.
- If everyone lived the way we did in the US, we would need 5 more planets like Earth to provide the resources.
If we stop and look at this number, we see that if we continue living the wasteful and overly luxurious lives we do, we are going to run out of resources fast. It is predicted that the next World War that we fight will not be over territory or political views but over drinkable water.
What the media is telling us isn't fear mongering. We aren't being tricked or deceived by false weather reports. This is real. This is happening right now. And if being scared is what it takes for us to wake up and do something, then so be it. This is a mess of our own making.

As promised, I'd like to give pianist Billy Kyle some much deserved time in the spotlight by highlighting his feature version of "Pennies From Heaven," something that he began playing soon after he started with the All Stars in late 1953 and was still playing--note-for-note, the same--at the time of his death in 1966. Kyle didn't always trot it out--"Perdido" always remained his first choice for a feature--but "Pennies" served an important function because it didn't require Louis to play any horn. Thus, if there was a night when Pops's chops were a bit down and he needed a rest, Kyle would do "Pennies" or "Girl of My Dreams." On other Kyle features such as "Perdido," "Blue Moon" and "When I Grow Too Old To Dream," Louis would blow with fury at the end, so I'm sure the others would be called when Louis needed a break.
I have a bunch of Kyle "Pennies" in my collection but the one I've chosen to share is from May 13, 1958 and was recorded live with the All Stars in North Bay, Ontario. On this night, Louis had no troubles with his chops. Far from it; what has been issued on C.D. contains some of the fiercest blowing he did that entire decade. But during intermission, a fan requested "Long Gone (From Bowlin' Green)," which Louis probably hadn't done since he originally recorded it four years earlier for the seminal album Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy. Thus, after blowing out the lights on "Muskrat Ramble," I think he called on Kyle to do "Pennies" because he wanted to have a quick powow with Velma Middleton, Trummy Young and Edmond Hall on the routine and lyrics for "Long Gone." One day, I'll share that version because it's so overpowering, it completely makes one forget about the original.
But that's for another day. While Louis was backstage, the spotlight shone on the rhythm section of Kyle, bassist Mort Herbert and drummer Danny Barcelona. Herbert and Barcelona both joined the band in early 1958 so they were still fairly new but this rhythm section would prove to be one of Louis's most durable, as well as one of his finest, lasting into the middle of 1961 when Herbert finally left to practice law. I have other Kyle versions of "Pennies" in slightly better sound but the swing engendered on this version is second to none. When Barcelona switches from brushes to sticks....stand back! This "Pennies" has the rocking power of a freight train and Kyle's full-chorded riffs never sounded better. Thus, ending our weeklong look at "Pennies From Heaven," here's Billy Kyle:

Armstrong played to a comparatively small crowd at the North Bay arena. A renowned jazz musician performing in a region that favoured western music. A few weeks later, the Everly Brothers played the arena and attracted about 3,000.

I am writing this entry on the morning of Yom Kippur, as a bird is sweetly serenading and the sun-dancing leaves are casting patterns on my curtains. Growly stomach and slight headache since having a light dinner last night. Fasting today as part of honoring the High Holy day. Not my favorite aspect of the observance, but it makes me ever more mindful and appreciative of food. I don't view the rituals of the holiday as I had in childhood when they felt restrictive and punitive. Instead, I see them as opening a portal to the sacred and awakening my own heart song. Later in the day, I will go to Peace Valley Park to sit by Lake Galena as I meditate, pray and write. That is my temple, my sacred space, my place to commune with the celestial today.
This year in particular has profound meaning, since the last six months have brought with them a torrent of tears that have washed me clean, a recognition of frayed and worn out life patterns, shedding of masks, shields and armor, shaking off denial of what I thought was so and what I believed I was 'allowed' to want in my life. I have en-realed and revealed myself to the woman in the mirror and those other sweet souls who love her. As my fear of abandonment and anticipated rejection (not sure where those were coming from….some ancient lurking something or other) were quelled and people actually applauded my vulnerability, I felt more courageous in my stretching. I have been doing a lot of 'come cleans' with my friends and family, sharing what I have been holding back. I have been increasingly willing to sit in the silence of my own thoughts, not pushing them away with frenetic activity. I have been celebrating my own human-ness, not covering over messy feelings with a smiling façade. The rewards have been immense as I have felt a deepening closeness with those I hold dear. It's what makes life worthwhile.
Forgiveness is a huge part of the observance. We ask that if in any way we have caused harm, whether by thought word or deed, intentionally or unintentionally, may we be forgiven. It is so freeing to put that out there. I am also forgiving myself for all of the ways that I have done myself harm.
One of the tenets of the holiday is the idea of 'being inscribed in the book of life for a sweet new year.' At face value, it is a lovely wish. My only challenge with it, is that I had interpreted it as a child as meaning that if you didn't follow the 'rules' as dictated by an outside male entity on High, then you would die. Did that mean that if someone died, that they had been bad? Did that mean if tragedy befell you, that you hadn't adhered to the strictures that were imposed by the religious teachings? As an adult, I have interpreted it in alignment with intention setting. I decide what a sweet new year looks and feels like. I turn the pages of the book in alignment with the 'God of my understanding'. I am filling the pages with more love, adventure, abundance, connection and Divine alignment than can fill an entire library.

text: By Ronda Jo Anderson Aberdeen Community Theatre When William Inge's play, "Bus Stop," opened on Broadway in March 1955, it was an immediate commercial and critical success. Inge asserted his hope that the audience would be interested in each of the eight characters. His aim was to portray the full spectrum of romantic relationships, from positive to negative. The New York Post review of the original Broadway production said, "Inge brings a freshness of approach and appreciation of average humanity that can be wonderfully touching and stimulating." This is the approach that Aberdeen Community Theatre director Brian T. Schultz has instilled in his eight actors playing these ordinary people. The play opens next Wednesday night. Each actor was asked how he or she could relate to his or her character as an ordinary person. Kati Bachmayer plays Cherie, a nightclub singer. She says, "Cherie has fit a lot of living into her years by caring for her sibling since the age of 12 and then by working in a nightclub. While I can't relate to that aspect of her, I think we can all relate to her struggle to define what 'true love' is and to her search for it." Lucas Keahey plays Bo, a brash young cowboy who has kidnapped Cherie. "Bo is a jerk," he says. "I think we all know someone who is like him. I am not a jerk but I can relate to the fact that Bo is loud." Bill McQuillen plays Virgil, Bo's friend. He says, "My character, Virgil, is a father figure to a younger man. I love my real-life role as a dad. I can, although, relate to Virgil's frustration to influence his young partner. Being a true friend can be hard work at times." Tom Green, playing Professor Lyman, says, "I see Lyman as a man disillusioned with the conventional expectation of normalcy. He has tried to live that life and failed miserably. He seeks to quench his thirst for respect and the love of learning. He is a tortured man, as he regrets the scars he leaves behind. He delivers some of the most poignant lines about the play's central theme, the true nature of love." Emily Davis, playing teenage waitress Elma, says, "My character is a normal, small-town girl. I feel I am very much like my character because I am as innocent as she is and behave in similar ways." Sara Pillatzki-Warzeha plays Grace, the diner owner. She says, "Grace is great because she always rolls with the punches. She rarely gets flustered, but it is fun to watch her when she does. Grace is much more laid-back than I am." Brent Brandt, playing bus driver Carl, says, "Carl has just a few goals. He wants to take a break from his job, get a sandwich and coffee and flirt with a lady. I can relate." Trent Deyo, playing Sheriff Will Masters, says, "I think people can relate to my character. Everyone knows someone who is nice but is always in everyone's business."

On July 22, 2015, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the US Department of Commerce issued a final rule implementing the rescission of Cuba's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Although the final rule has symbolic significance in the continued diplomatic détente between the United States and Cuba, it has little practical impact on US companies seeking to do business in Cuba. The rule does, however, provide limited relief to foreign companies exporting foreign-made goods to Cuba that contain US-origin content. In addition, a US Senate committee recently passed an amendment to an appropriations bill that proposes to further relax sanctions against Cuba, including by lifting the travel ban, among other things.
On December 17, 2014, President Obama announced that the United States would take steps to normalize diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba. On January 15, 2015, the US Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), and BIS respectively amended the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement President Obama's announcement. For more information, please see our previous advisory.
On April 8, 2015, the Secretary of State recommended to President Obama that Cuba no longer be designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. President Obama thereafter submitted a report to Congress certifying that Cuba had not provided support for international terrorism during the previous six months and that Cuba had provided assurances that it will not support acts of international terrorism in the future.
On May 29, 2015, the Secretary of State rescinded Cuba's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism.
Effect of Removal of Cuba from List of Terrorist Supporting Countries
The final rule removes Cuba from Country Group E:1 – Terrorist Supporting Countries. Although several provisions of the EAR contain restrictions specific to Country Group E:1, the practical effect of the change for US persons is limited. The United States continues to maintain a unilateral embargo on Cuba. A license or valid license exception is still required to export to Cuba any item subject to the EAR, including EAR99 items, see 15 C.F.R. § 746.2(a), and the restrictions set forth in the CACR continue to be in force.
Removing Cuba from Country Group E:1 provides limited relief to foreign companies operating in Cuba that sell foreign-made goods incorporating US-origin content. Foreign-made goods are not subject to the EAR unless they incorporate more than a de minimis level of US-origin content. See 15 C.F.R. § 734.3(a)(3). Because Cuba is no longer in Country Group E:1, the de minimis level of US-origin content for most items is increased from 10 percent to 25 percent, although there are certain items that remain ineligible for de minimis treatment. See 15 C.F.R. § 734.4.
Removal of Cuba from Country Group E:1 also removes some restrictions on the limited number of license exceptions available to US and foreign firms seeking to do business in Cuba.
The following four license exceptions are impacted by Cuba's removal from Country Group E:1.
- License Exception RPL. Exporters may now ship parts, components, accessories, or attachments that are subject to the EAR in order to repair, among other things, "aircraft," explosive detection equipment, and concealed object detection equipment (primarily used for airport security screening).
- License Exception BAG. Individuals leaving the United States for Cuba may now hand-carry software subject to Encryption Item (EI) controls on the Commerce Control List (CCL).
- License Exception AVS. Among other changes, foreign-made aircraft can now depart the United States for the purpose of transfer to Cuban nationals, spares may be located in Cuba, and certain civil aircraft of US registry, including certain private business jets and other aircraft that do not transport passengers or cargo for hire, may depart from the United States to Cuba for "temporary sojourns" (subject to the travel restrictions in the CACR and FAA authorizations).
- License Exception GOV. The GOV-related changes are quite narrow. Among other things, it will no longer be prohibited to use license exception GOV to export, reexport, or transfer to a Cuban national certain items used in support of the International Space Station.
Although the CACR permits certain transactions that are incident to the export of items pursuant to a valid license exception under the EAR, see 31 C.F.R. § 515.533(a), the modest expansion of available license exceptions provides only limited relief for US businesses.
To limit the scope of relief provided by removing Cuba from Country Group E:1, the final rule added several restrictions on exports to destinations in Country Group E:2. Cuba remains in Country Group E:2 because it is subject to a unilateral embargo.
- There is no de minimis level of US-origin content for foreign-made items that incorporate 9x515 or "600 series" .y commodities when destined for Country Group E:2.
- License Exception TSR requires written assurances that software or technology controlled for national security reasons will not be transferred to nationals of countries in Country Groups E:2.
- License applications now require, in certain circumstances, a list of technology accompanying shipments to Country Group E:2. License applications also require written assurances that technology controlled for national security will not be transferred to nationals of countries in Country Group E:2.
- An AES filing is required, regardless of value, for any exports destined to countries in Country Group E:2. Further, export to a country in Country Group E:2 is grounds for rejecting an application to file in AES post-departure.
The final rule also added a General Order amending all BIS licenses effective before July 22, 2015. Any condition in those licenses referencing Country Group E:1 is amended to apply to both Country Group E:1 and E:2.
Recent Legislative Activity
In addition to regulatory activity relating to Cuba, Congress has been debating the future of US sanctions against Cuba. On July 24, 2015, the Senate Appropriations Committee voted to approve several Cuba-related amendments to a pending appropriations bill. One amendment would lift the travel ban. Another would lift restrictions on allowing ships that have docked in Cuba to later dock at US ports. The third amendment would allow for US financing of sales of agricultural products to Cuba. The appropriations bill will go on to the full Senate for a vote, and then would need to clear the US House of Representatives, where the Cuba-related provisions are likely to face significant opposition.
Rescinding Cuba's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism is a necessary step in the normalization of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States. In the long-term, normalized relations will provide new business opportunities for US firms that wish to operate in Cuba. In the short-term, however, the impact of Cuba's change in status is primarily symbolic and will have limited impact on the United States' export control regime.

Raiders Announce 2007 Drum Majors
On Saturday, February 25, 2007, the Raiders Drum & Bugle Corps of Wayne, New Jersey announced that Ryan Mallen and Tom Dougherty will serve as the Raiders Drum Majors for the 2007 Drum Corps International competitive season.
Ryan Mallen is currently a freshman at Purchase College Conservatory of Music in Purchase, NY studying Music Composition. Ryan was a member of the Raiders from 2002 through 2005 as a member of the Brass section playing trumpet and mellophone. In 2006, Ryan marched as a baritone player with the Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps. Tom Maiello, director of the corps added, "Ryan returns to the Raiders as a well seasoned and extremely educated musician. His leadership on and off the field as a member of the Raiders was always noted and respected by the staff and administration. We are very happy that Ryan wanted to come back home to the Raiders and accept this role with the organization". When asked how he felt about being picked to be one of the Drum Majors Mallen added "I'm honored that after leaving for a season, I am not only welcomed back by the Raiders' family, but chosen to be a leader there. I hope to give back to the organization all that they have given me since my first camp in November of 2001. I'm looking forward to doing all within my power to make the 2007 Raiders succeed and to set up the organization for future success."
Tom Dougherty is currently a Freshman at Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ. Tom is currently focusing on furthering his musical education by obtaining a Degree in Music. He has been a percussionist for over 10 years and has been a featured timpanist while participating in Marching Band and Concert appearances during his High School Musical Career. This is Tom's first year as a member of the Raiders. Steve Rodrigues, Raiders Percussion Arranger & Caption Head and part of the Audition Panel, was quick to add this about Tom's audition. "We were really impressed with Tom's intensity and overall performance during his audition. As a new member of the corps, his desire to accept such a huge responsibility and challenge made a great impression on the audition panel." Tom originally auditioned for a spot in the corps bass drum section but when the announcement came for the Drum Major position he saw another opportunity. "Although I am new to DCI and the Raiders, I am looking forward to turning some heads with my co-drum major, Ryan. I'm looking forward to showing the activity not just what talent we have, but what the corps will achieve through hard work, commitment, and dedication." added Dougherty.
Tom Maiello, Raiders corps director added, "We were very pleased to see the amount of people that showed interest in the Drum Major positions. Everyone came prepared with challenging music and positive and pro active answers to their oral presentation questions. It's very refreshing seeing this many people interested in the position. We were also impressed with the level of talent, maturity and musicality in all the students that auditioned."

DAVIS, Calif. – Santa Clara University and UC Davis played a tight game through five and a half innings, until the homestanding Aggies pushed in six runs in the bottom of sixth to come away with a 9-1 victory over SCU on Tuesday.
Due to rain in the Bay Area, the Broncos (4-11) have had nine games canceled or postponed over the past two weeks. Tuesday was the first time SCU batters had seen live pitching since March 19.
"We had a chance to win this game, but we need to stay strong and push a little harder towards the end," said Santa Clara head coach Lisa Mize. "Jenna (Fong) pitched well today, she went three full innings and then came back in; she did well. We were trying to get both her and Jessica Turner some work."
Jenna Fong started and allowed just three runs as the game went into the fifth with UCD up 3-1. Santa Clara received an RBI single from Kelly Scribner in the first inning. Seniors Jackie Nicora and Amanda Edmonson also provided hits for SCU.
UCD shortstop Elizabeth Santana went 3 for 3 and first baseman Kelly Harmon drove in three runs. The Aggies (14-12) got four quality innings from starter Alex Holmes, who won her eighth game of the season.
The Broncos will have a week and a half to prepare for their Pacific Coast Softball Conference opener at Cal State Bakersfield the weekend of April 8-10.
"We definitely want to incorporate live pitching in our practices over the next week," said Mize. "We have a real good chance to play well in conference, but we need to capitalize on our opportunities. Bakersfield will be a good series, we usually play them very tough."
The Broncos have added two games to its 2011 schedule in attempt to make up canceled games due to the weather, playing at Pacific Tuesday, April 12 at 7 p.m. and playing a doubleheader against Oregon State at home Thursday, April 14 beginning at 10 a.m.

The old left/right division in politics is "futile", the Labour party is rubbish, class warfare is dumb, and we are at the mercy of "a rip-off economy promoting a non-productive financial system". Be optimistic even so: an emerging "middle-middle majority", which numbers 90% of the population, may yet come to full consciousness and usher us into an age of "Social Capitalism", which involves employee ownership, and for a fuller account of which we are directed to the author's own three-volume work of that name.
We learn perhaps too much about backstabbing during the author's days in the Labour party, and are invited to agree with a rather singular educational manifesto that recommends pupils should "stand and bow when addressed by a teacher". I would pencil sober agreement on one page and incredulous scribbles on the next, but Corfe's critique of contemporary politics at least is largely righteous. His style, too, has an old-school, pugnacious vigour: "The socialist is a kind of herd-like animal existing on the veldt on a diet low in energising carbohydrates feeding brain activity."

Alalam - Lebanon
"Today a new government was formed…This is a government of entente," said Hariri of the new cabinet, formed six weeks after the election of President Michel Aoun.
The new lineup keeps Gebran Bassil as the foreign minister, Ali Hassan Khalil as the finance minister, and Nouhad Machnouk as the interior minister, and includes Yacoub al-Sarraf as the new defense minister and Cesar Abou Khalil as the new minister for energy and water. Moreover, new posts such as anti-corruption minister and minister of state for women's affairs have been added to the government.
On October 31, Lebanese legislators elected Aoun as president, ending a 29-month presidential vacuum. The Maronite Christian founder of the Free Patriotic Movement succeeded Michel Sleiman.
Aoun garnered 83 votes in the 128-seat assembly as parliamentarians convened for their 46th attempt to choose a head of state.
Aoun after becoming President said Lebanon must be protected from "regional fires," a reference to the foreign-sponsored militancy in neighboring Syria on top of crises in Iraq and Yemen.

GameStop Corp.'s second-quarter profit more than doubled, as the videogame retailer said "the power of the new console cycle" contributed to a big sales increase.
The results were above the company's projections. In late trading, GameStop shares rose 8.2% to $43.80.
The company said new hardware sales more than doubled in the quarter, as demand for Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox One and Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 4 "remains very high."
GameStop has contended with a slowdown in sales of physical videogame discs. In one recent example of the industry's digital push, Electronic Arts introduced a subscription service in July that lets Xbox One owners play EA's games for $4.99 a month.
GameStop said Tuesday that its chief executive, Paul Raines, had a cancerous tumor removed from his brain last week. His recovery is expected to take about six weeks.
Used-game sales have been an important part of GameStop's business, providing much higher margins than sales of new games and consoles. Earlier this month, the company announced a simplification of its trade-in program that reduces the number of possible price points to four from 10. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. launched a trade-in program for used games in March.
For the period ended Aug. 2, GameStop reported a profit of $24.6 million, or 22 cents a share, up from $10.5 million, or nine cents a share, a year earlier. Total sales increased 25% to $1.73 billion, while same-store sales rose 21.9%.
The company had expected per-share earnings of 12 cents to 20 cents and sales at existing locations to grow 12% to 19%.
For the third quarter, the company expects to earn 58 cents to 64 cents a share. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters project earnings of 57 cents a share. GameStop expects a third-quarter same-store sales increase of 1% to 5%. GameStop backed its forecast for the year

Wizard not launching after driver installation
Hey there,
So i was trying to fix my audio driver today and all i was gonna do was reinstall the driver which should fix the problem i think (built in mic not working and now sound not working entirely). But when i unzip the driver files it says "all files successfully unzipped" and then a wizard should launch to actually install the driver. This does not happen and it launches with my other drivers since i tried to make sure. The driver is

Any assistance would be appretiated.

Platform: PC
Developer: Cyanide Studio
Tabletop war games can segue nicely into strategic videogames. Relic Entertainment succeeded in sensational style with the Dawn Of War series, converting the beloved Warhammer 40,000 franchise into an epic RTS and a more intimate, character-driven experience. However, Games Workshop aren't the only player on the field, and Cyanide Studio aim to accomplish the same feat with the lesser-known miniature skirmish game Confrontation. From the two levels I was able to play, they certainly have the basics down.
Rag'Narok has come to the world of Aarklash. In fine wargaming tradition, a once peaceful and generic fantasy world has been riven into factions by the war to end all wars, with the beleagured and righteous Griffon army under siege by an league of mechanical horrors. The Scorpion faction has unleashed a horde of nightmarish creatures onto the battlefield, clones and corpses twisted into a steampunk assault force by the Technomancers' dark arts. As an omniscent Griffon commander, players will lead small squads of elite soldiers against the Scorpion threat in pleasingly strategic skirmishes buoyed up by some slick RPG elements.
At first glance, the Confrontation experience is familiar isometric RTS fare. You command your small fantasy killteam from an overhead perspective on a rotatable 3D map, selecting them with clicks or drag boxes and then moving them with a simple right click. Soldiers fulfil traditional roles - tanks, DPSs, mages and healers - with handy icons reminding players of how best to wield them. It's highly reminiscent of Dungeon Siege or the PC version of Dragon Age: Origins in this regard, but the tabletop strategy pedigree becomes apparent as soon as battle is joined.
Forward planning will be a core part of the experience. The maps are covered with a greyscale fog of war that pares back to reveal enemy locations when you secure lofty vantage points, allowing players to size up their foes and decide how best to deal with them ahead of time. Powerful melee combatants such as hulking techno-magical clones are surrounded by a red aura, denoting their prowess in close combat and suggesting that a ranged approach might be the way forward. Characters boast multiple weapons suited to different scenarios (for example, the skirmisher can dish out close quarters damage with a pair of swords or pepper foes with pistol fire), and choosing the right tactic for each situation will pay dividends.
Once engaged, combat plays out much like any standard RTS. Right clicking on an enemy causes your selected character to attack with the weapons they have equipped, but rushing in headlong will usually result in catastrophic humiliation when facing a mix of brawlers, archers and spellslingers. Instead, canny use of each unit's special skills is the key to success. Hitting the space bar instantly pauses the real-time action and will let you queue up several actions for each soldier, including powerful melee strikes for tanks, myriad buffs and a nifty stun strike provided by the fire mage. It's a powerful, tried-and-tested mechanic that allows players to instantly respond to any situation, shifting tactics dynamically as the combat unfolds. Intuitive keyboard shortcuts make the process as convenient as possible.
In terms of a direct comparison, Confrontation reminds me most of Icewind Dale (Black Isle's lesser-known Forgotten Realms Infinity Engine title): intense skirmishes against mixed groups of foes that often feels like a selection of cerebral puzzles. Working out which enemies to tie up in melee combat, who to debilitate quickly and how best to split your small force is a satisfyingly tactical experience, and we hope that Confrontation will offer some larger scale battles on top of the smaller scuffles.
The RPG side of things appears to be a little on the light side. Your units share experience gained from killing foes and completing quests, which eventually provide attribute points to spend on strength, dexterity, magic power and other traditional stats. It's basic and functional stuff. More interesting, however, are upgradeable weapons and armour facilitated by limited resources scavenged from the battlefield. Each character's armaments can be enhanced through a binary skill tree that provides a trade-off between simple damage boosts and more esoteric effects. For example, will you opt to massively increase your tank's damage output or accept a more modest boost that affects all nearby allies? Players will want to tailor their units to compliment their own gameplay style, and this system should hopefully provide the customisation options we crave.
In keeping with the series' tabletop roots, Confrontation features an "army painter" suite that lets wannabe miniature designers decorate their forces with a range of coloured dyes. It's sure to delight franchise fans, though I daresay that new players will likely ignore the feature.
Confrontation is set for an April PC release, and there's still work to be done. Hopefully the finished article will feel a full-scale war rather than a linear selection of disconnected disparate set pieces, and we can't deny that graphics and voice acting could use some more work. Either way, we're looking forward to seeing how it turns out, and discovering whether the niche tabletop strategy genre has a new contender.

One of the things that bugs me about the storyteller system is one of the same things that bugs me in a lot of games. This bugbear is an inconsistency in the systems of play. Arguably it's one of the core things that puts me off Apocalypse World games. I don't like the idea that every subtle variation of an action has a subtle variation of a rule that goes with it. Custom moves are designs by exception, in a lot of cases they are specifically designed no to cover a range of narrative options, but to serve a single narrow purpose. If I wanted that, I'd play Pathfinder with its hundreds of pages of optional rules and errata.
Sorry not my type of story game.
Coming back to Mage, I've been having issue with the idea of 2 subtly different rolling systems in the game. One rolling system combines two statistics with a value from 1-5 or 0-5, while the other uses a statistic scale from 1-10. The first of these systems is commonly "Attribute+Ability" used in most task actions, the second system is used when Willpower is used to resist actions or when Arete is used to invoke mystical effects. Then there are the variant forms when:
…a character rolls against a difficulty score
…a character rolls against another character, using their attribute+ability (or willpower) as the difficulty
…a pair of characters roll against difficulty scores and compare successes
Once again systems and fiddly subsystems.
The attribute system in Storyteller games basically has the following scale…
- 1 – Poor / Below Average
- 2 – Average
- 3 – Good / Above Average
- 4 – The best you'd expect from the average person on the street
- 5 – The pinnacle of human potential
- 6+ – Superhuman potential (possessed by supernatural beings or magically enhanced individuals)
The ability system has this scale…
- 0 – No ability in this field
- 1 – A bit of basic ability
- 2 – You could probably make a living from it, but not too well
- 3 – You're better than most people in this area
- 4 – You're the best around for miles, maybe the best in your town or suburb
- 5 – You're one of the best in the world with regard to this
- 6+ – You have abilities in this field beyond any mortal
In almost any action, you're rolling 2-3 dice (if you'd be rolling less, you not very good and it's probably better to get one of the other characters to attempt the action). Since players like to showcase their characters and consistently perform actions that they know they'll be good at, it's quite possible that a player will be rolling 4-6 dice for a substantial number of their actions during a game. A character has to be significantly above average in both attribute and ability (an average of more than 3 points each) to get 7 or more dice to roll on an action. Here's one of the many places where things get messy in the system, because an "average" difficulty is considered a 6. So if you are rolling against an "average" person and using their combined attribute and ability as a difficulty score you'd more likely have a difficulty of 3-4, not 6. Numerous people have commented on this as one of the odd inconsistencies in the system over the years, I think it might have even been one of the contributing reasons for shifting the system in the "Storytelling" system which came later.
One of my ways to address the game in a varied format was to play with the dice used in the game. Maybe shifting it to FATE style rules, or straight d6s. The main thing here was to avoid using specialty dice that would make the game less accessible to new players.
I also considered the idea of using different dice for each part of the attribute and ability
- 1 = d4
- 2= d6
- 3 = d8
- 4 = d10
- 5 = d12
This almost changed the game to a variation of the Cortex system.
But how would I handle the higher levels of those statistics measured on a scale of 1-10?
Instead I'm thinking of playing with a card based system, because all through Mage there is Tarot symbolism. The iconic front cover illustration is a tarot card, and the title page (or somewhere near it) in each book depicts a tarot spread. The basic system would see variable difficulty challenges, where a player draws minor arcana cards in an attempt to beat the difficulty, then possibly favours the result with a major arcana card.
In a case of attribute+ability, a hand equal to the total value would be drawn, then the size of the hand would be discarded down to the flat attribute value. In a case of Willpower or Arete, the hand is drawn and all the cards are kept.
Difficulties remain on a scale of 1-10, so this means something interesting needs to happen with faced minor arcana cards (Page, Knight, Queen, King). I'm thinking that this might be a good point to bring backgrounds into play, using the idea that if a single face card is a part of the final hand, the player may spend points from their background to earn automatic successes on a challenge (as long as that background can be worked into the narrative), but a favour will need to be repaid soon or the background point is lost. If two face cards are a part of the final hand, then points from two different backgrounds could be expended for successes or points from a single background could be expended without the need to quickly repay the favour. This has the choice element that I like to see in my stories, it makes backgrounds function differently to attributes and abilities, and it creates new opportunities for storytelling.

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping'
The moon tells me a secret, my confidant
As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me
It's source is bright and endless, she resuscitates the hopeless
The moon tells me a secret, my confidant
As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me
It's source is bright and endless, she resuscitates the hopeless
Without her we are lifeless satellites drifting
Today, I have a need to write my heart on these virtual pages, open that window little more.
This is my love letter to inspiration and people who deliver it.
I get visited by moments, where upon seeing, reading or hearing something beautiful, I feel my own life somehow connected in this quilt of overwhelming emotion and expression.
From music, paintings, books or little flower growing in pavement crack. Beautiful wrinkled hands of a smiling stranger, their eyes filled with knowing kindness and gray streets of the city that embraced me as its true daughter, offering peace to restless heart.
That gets me jolted from everyday trance and bustle of endless aspirations. I stop and I can feel warm tears flowing down my cheeks. I cry from beauty.
I get filled with this strange happy sadness and realization that I am surrounded by complex minds and fingers of individuals. The messengers.
They paint, compose, think, build and weave their own letters to universe, reaching me on its journey.
They are reminding me I am alive, leaving me breathless. I am reminded of my own flawed humanity, telling me to never forget.
I see my mother's soft hands lift me up to the world. With her kisses building an armor to protect me from harm, preparing me to survive most painful blows, for I am loved. Wide eyed child, smelling of promise.
I see my teenage self, dreaming of first crush and wondering what will become of me, will I make difference in the world, will I be loved?
I see the deepest depths of my despair and loss. I still smell fragrant pale flowers that grew out of moist earth of my darkest hours.
I still carry the loss and communicate with ghosts that follow me.
I still carry the loss and communicate with ghosts that follow me.
I see faces of lost ones in the smiles of dolphins, and I love them, still.
I feel their life force seeping through my fingers, into everything I am and everything I create.I did not forget.
I see warm understanding eyes of my lover, his soothing voice coating every nick with the balm of endless patience and quiet constant.I see home in his eyes.
I see faces of my friends, my lovers and my family; ones still here, as well as passengers who stopped for brief moment to teach me a lesson, to add another stone to mosaic of my life. They inspired me, challenged me, hurt me, loved me, misunderstood me, were misunderstood by me, and loved by me. They made me.
I am the clay, shaped with their loving hands and nicked and bruised by life experiences. That makes my statue complete, with all its flaws.
As life flashes before my eyes, when I hear beautiful song, when I get moved by a painting, or inspired to create something. I know that I am leaving trace of me, every time I stop to hear, see, and take in beauty around me. I carve my life experience by being present.
So my friends, when life gets crazy, stop. Turn around and you will see thousands of messages, created by people just like you and I. Their life, described through so many ways of self-expression paint their loss, love and their beautiful minds. It is a reminder that you are not alone, that most beautiful flowers grow in darkest places. You are not alone. I know…..I am loved.
So are you.
So are you.
