When my mother died, he and I searched for reasons. We kept being told to read the book of Job. It was supposed to give us comfort. Let's just say...it did not. We never really understood why God would take someone who was obviously Godly and test him just to prove he was indeed Godly. But when my brother found this version of the Bible, for some reason, when he read Job it finally clicked--over 20 years later. The title of Job was "Mess Happens". Basically it says God is God and the sooner you accept it, the better you will be. So I had to get my own copy to see for myself. I read Job and I have to say it did help on some level, but I've since found some of the most insightful representations of some profound truths as I read:
So why so sullen, soul. Why so moody, me?
Why so down, so depressed, so incapable of breaking free?
Don't give up--let God lift your life up!
Stack that weight on God, all of it, complete.
See if he can't juggle it, smuggle it away at last,
And set you back on Celebration Street.
(Psalms 42:5)
What is love anyway? Not the tripe you've been force-fed! No. Love gives people space and time; it does people good. It's not jealous, loud-mouthed or big-headed. It's not vulgar. It doesn't look out for Number 1. It's not got a short fuse--it forgives and forgets. Love doesn't smile when dark stuff goes on, but throws a party when the truth gets out. It protects more than a super hero; it trusts more than a toddler. It's always positive. It always hangs in there. Love doesn't let you down.
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
These are words I can relate to. Words that inspire me. Words that give me hope and peace when I let them sink in. It's the WORD that does it for me. Always has, always will. (In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. John 1:1)
Soaking up THE WORD today,
Walden Fan
Addendum--Rob Lacey didn't succumb to cancer. In the last few pages of his book are his journal. He asks the question we all ask at one point or another in our lives--Why Me? "And with answers so shy," he says "I won't ask why? Right now I'll just ask, how do I live? How do I die? I'll leave the questions lying there. I'll leave my lopsided, left heavy, rational, righteous brain. I'll just give God His fame. The always different, ever the same. I'll thank Emmanuel, I'll thank God with us. I'm well."

Jan 11 2018
During the three months ended
December, ASX-listed gold miner Pantoro produced a record 13 841 oz, compared
with 13 282 oz in the previous quarter and 9 598 oz in the same period in the
prior year.
This represents a 44%
year-on-year production increase.
The Nicolsons processing plant,
in Western Australia, continued to operate reliably at increased production
rates, with 60 443 t processed at an average grade of 7.67 g/t gold and an
average recovery of 92.9%.
Pantoro completed its ore sorting
testwork and subsequently ordered a Steinert ore sorter for installation at
Nicolsons. The ore sorter will be the primary facilitator of continued
production increases during the coming year and the plan is for it to be
operational by April.
Pantoro is continuing to aim for
production rates of 80 000 oz/y to 100 000 oz/y by the end of 2018.
The company further reported that
its Wagtail openpits were completed in December, while works to establish
underground access points were under way. "We are aiming to have approvals in
place to start underground mining in April," it added.
Four drill rigs were also
continuing to operate at site with mineral resource and ore reserve updates
planned in the first half of the year. Drilling was primarily focused on
Nicolsons depth extensions and Wagtail underground definition and extension.
First pass exploration results
from other drill targets are expected during the current quarter.
Pantoro further highlighted that
it expected to be debt free by the end of April with 500 oz/m being repaid. Its
current net debt position reduced by 1 500 oz to 2 000 oz.
"Production is expected to remain
around current levels for the next two quarters ahead of further substantial
increases as underground ore supply from Wagtail and the benefits of ore
sorting take effect. With the outstanding project debt due to be repaid early
in 2018, the company is very well positioned to continue its growth trajectory
during the coming year," said MD Paul Cmrlec.

text: My mother is a huge Elvis fan so we wanted to surprise her with a performance from the King! Nick as Elvis was easily the highlight of the party. He was fantastic with the crowd and brought Elvis' music and moves to life! His costume and interactions with the guests were second to none. Nick was very professional with his follow up and honored every commitment discussed prior to the event. He even went above and beyond by taking photos with anyone that wanted a picture with Elvis. This was a definite crowd pleaser! If you are looking for Elvis to make an appearance at your event Nick is the BEST!

A state report has found Hartford public schools failed to adequately respond to child abuse and neglect allegations over nearly a decade.
Connecticut Child Advocate (OCA) Sarah Eagan said Friday that her office's nine-month review revealed district officials didn't follow protocols for reporting potential abuse and neglect, as mandated by state and federal law and the school district's own reporting policies.
The report outlines the fact employees repeatedly accused of misconduct were often allowed to remain on the job for months or even years, including former administrator Eduardo Genao. He was forced to resign and arrested by Hartford police for felony risk of injury to a minor back in the Spring of last year. That is when a young girl's mother from New York State discovered explicit text messages from Genao to her daughter Genao pleaded not guilty in court.
The 76-page report outlines questions surrounding how the situation was handled.
OCA also criticized both school officials and a community advocate for not reporting to Department of Children and Families (DCF) properly.
"School district for much of the previous decade did not regularly review or update its mandated reporting policies as legally required. Training of reporters was inadequate and often not documented. Mandated reporters sometimes failed to make reports that certain employees had abused or neglected a child," Egan told NBC Connecticut.
Acting Hartford Superintendent Dr. Leslie Torres-Rodriguez told NBC Connecticut, "I am saddened, disappointed and I am angered by the findings in this report. As a leader I am committed to creating a culture in our district of high expectations."
The report was commissioned by Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin, after Eduardo Genao's arrest. He said parents have every right to be angry and the aftermath of the report demands an immediate and aggressive response and dramatic culture chance and a whole new level of accountability and expectation of Hartford Public Schools.
"What it reveals is a decade long failure of policies procedures and practice to adequately protect children in HPD it demonstrates an outrageous and unacceptable level of dysfunction and lack of policy," Bronin said.
The OCA report also revealed Genao had a history of "grooming" like behavior dating back almost ten years involving Hartford students.
Ultimately, DCF found Genao had questionable contact with at least one student, who the OCA said tried to tell school officials. Apparently she had said Genao made her uncomfortable and she didn't want to be alone with him.
"She told a lot of people, that was her avenue of seeking help. And a lot of adults gave her advice. How to get the principal to stop texting her, or take her off the list and one person said you should tell someone in authority, and was telling someone in authority," Egan said.
Genao continued to be promoted and moved laterally within the district when concerns came up. The report also said there are other employees with mandated reporting concerns who are being carefully reviewed.
"With child abuse, suspected abuse, if we know that people know and have not acted they will be held accountable up to and including termination," Torres-Rodriguez said.
According to Eagan, key findings from the report—developed after a thorough review of district and child welfare records, as well as interviews with a number of individuals with knowledge of district practices, include:
1) The school district did not regularly review and update its mandated reporting policy as legally required.
2) Training of mandated reporters was inadequate.
3) Mandated reporters sometimes failed to make reports concerning suspicion that school employees have neglected or abused a child.
4) DCF did not have a system in place to efficiently document, track and address either the failure to make mandated reports or delays in mandated reporting.
5) School employees who engaged in misconduct were not effectively held accountable.
6) There exists a special vulnerability for children with disabilities to possible abuse or neglect.

(*****) Even in this iPod era, albums can be journeys of discovery. When I started out on Soap and Water I was armed with a huge admiration for San Francisco-based guitarist and songwriter Chuck Prophet, his work with seminal alt. everything band Green on Red, and his large body of solo work. Soap and Water, however, seemed cloaked in obscurity and the music was oddly rootless. A few dozen plays later and there is not a track I'd change - though I might argue a backing vocal here or a guitar lick there. This is a monumental album of constant surprise, chilled intelligence and quietly assured song writing skill, singing, playing and production. Prophet has said it was inspired by wayward rock icon Alex Chilton, but I also hear Randy Newman's caustic amusement at the human condition, especially on the epic New Kingdom. Wonderful, but time is required.

Oh, I love these pretty pictures… and this one has a few notable insights:
The gap in TV consumption is noticeably different, as is our (Canadians) propensity for finding content outside traditional means (downloading from torrent sites and consuming more online video vs. using on-demand services or subscribing to Netflix).
The mobile number is a bit of a surprise, as other sources will tell you that Canada has led the U.S. in key indicators (such as broadband adoption), so the notion that we're laggards is interesting.

Hi all,
for me, it seems one of the (many) advantages of sous vide is that you can be more relaxed as to how long you cook the meat, that is, often you can just leave it in there for hours before you take it out, sear it and serve it.
But I suppose there has to be a point at which the meat becomes "overcooked" in a sense? For example, if I have a piece of tenderloin (which I suppose shouldn't need much time to get tender), and leave it in sous vide at 58 C for 24 hours, what will happen to the meat? Will it dry out, or perhaps get mushy?

Anyone who knows anything about American politics knows that once every four years comes around a 12-18 month long burst of compulsory viewing in the form of the U.S. Presidential Election. It is tussle that is renown for bringing out the best and the worst of American politics, politicians and policies. It is a tussle with world wide implications, and it is a tussle New Zealand would do well to pay attention to.
On the first Tuesday of November 2016, after a long campaign that will have seen candidates visit all corners of the United States from Florida to Seattle, from San Diego to Vermont, America will decide who shall be the person to lead them for the next four years. That person will need 269 Electoral College seats to govern. They will take office on 20 January 2017. They will be in command of the worlds most powerful armed forces and be responsible for the worlds biggest economy. They will also for better or for worse be a lightning rod for both criticism and praise alike, deserving or not.
This will affect you. The next U.S. President – assuming it is not Senator for Vermont Bernie Sanders or Senator for Masschusetts Elizabeth Warren, whose dissent is well known – will be under real pressure to sign off the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement with the other 11 nations in this sovereignty selling exercise. This will affect you because as taxpayers we might have to chip in for New Zealand troops to go overseas at Uncle Sam's behest to fight a war most New Zealanders agree is not one we should be in (I know even National party supporters who think we should stay out of the Middle East wars).
This will affect you because America is a global power and very powerful, moneyed interests in America want to wield that power, or have someone wield it for them in ways that might not be altogether good for New Zealand. As Kentucky Senator Rand Paul – one of the few Republicans in the race I have time for at all – is trying to say across the discourse, just because a nation has global power, does not mean it should always use it. America is at the moment arguing with itself over whether or not to tighten immigration controls, and I heard last year that that might include tightening the rules for getting green cards.
This will affect you because for better or for worse, New Zealand politicians instead of having the gonads to formulate policy specific to New Zealand, tend to look overseas towards including but not limited to, America, for inspiration. It is not that having inspiration is necessarily a bad thing, but we are a grown nation that punches beyond its weight in many aspects of life – we should have politicians growing New Zealand oriented policy. At least that is what this nationalist thinks.
The American Presidential nominee race for 2016 is heating up and you would do well to pay attention, because at some point it will affect you.

Pike's Peak! It's seared it my memory like the heat in late August Phoenix. When I stepped out of the funicular, I experienced instant altitude sickness. No fun! To make it worse, there was a man doing sit-ups and other unnatural things right in front of us. A snickers saved my life. I've never had that reaction before or after, but 14,000+ is nothing to laugh at.
Have a GREAT trip, GUS.

Trump is awake for the Night Shift
Taking up the slack for the ADN, local Channel 2 News in Anchorage is praising Lisa Murkowski to the skies for having the courage to grow lettuce in her Senate Office: A nutritional trendsetter, Sen. Murkowski growing lettuce on Capitol Hill
The story is mindnumbingly stupid:
She is a nutritional trendsetter on Capitol Hill.
"We can be growing lettuce year-round in a Senate office," said Murkowski.
"I was talking to a young child once who didn't realize that a banana was yellow because the only kinds of banana she ever saw were brown," said Murkowski.)
But I have to give kudos to the commenters:
Lonely One:
Murkowski is more Evil than her father!!!
RINO Abortionist grows lettuce is now news? Fake News propaganda!
Too bad she's too busy growing lettuce to keep her word and repeal Obamacare....
desert deserter:
Murkowski, lettuce alone. Your the weed in our garden.
So she can't pass any Bills, or Repeal any horrible Legislation, or cut Taxes, or take the hold off of President Trump's nominees, but she has learned how to grow lettuce in her Senate Office. Geebus.
I'm embarrassed to be represented by this moron. Ughh:(
Doing sit ups and other UNNATURAL THINGS???
Anthony Weiner???
Daddy, WE ARE DOOOOOOOOMED. This LYING HACK DIZZY BITCH, is a UNITED STATES SENATOR.
She's growng MF'ING LETTUCE in her OFFICE.

Yes Daddy, but she is TEH HOT!!!!!
Sounds like you'll be having a great road trip, and 'Hey' to the Fedex boy if you meet him.
Maybe I've missed it but the amount of White House leaks seems to have dropped off to zero. I don't think we had any pre-leak of either the pardoning of Sheriff Arpaio or of Gorka's leave taking. Kudos to whoever is responsible for that, probably General Kelly, but it really does seem that once Reince Priebus was booted out the leaks immediately went to zero. Great.
McCain says in a statement that "no one is above the law" and "sworn law officers should always seek to be beyond reproach in their commitment to fairly enforcing the laws they swore to uphold."
By pardoning Arpaio, McCain says it undermines Trump's claim for the respect of rule of law.
He also says Arpaio has shown no remorse for his actions.
C'mon, bloodclot!
Two thumbs WAY up on the pardon of Sheriff Joe.
McCain sits in his solitude waiting for a chance to say anything, anything at all, to spite his enemy Trump. His tumor would *have* to be malignant, a benign tumor wouldn't dare take up residence in his cranium.
The ineligible candidate speaks out against the Natural Born Sheriff.
An excellent Dennis Prager column if you have the time: Here Are Some Key Ways the Mainstream Media Distorts the Truth
Well this Washington Examiner story sounds interesting: Critics fear Dana Rohrabacher creating WikiLeaks back channel to Trump
2 points stand out to me in this story of Dana Rohrbacher having a 3 hour meeting with Julian Assange recently, and now heading to DC to personally brief Trump.
1) Rorhbacher: "I would not talk on the telephone" with the president about the three-hour conversation.
Smart. We're learning. Tell him in person because lord knows we can't trust Trump not to be electronically surveilled 24/7.
2) The amount of critics exercised about this.
Critics of Trump, meanwhile, have unloaded on Rohrabacher's suggestion that he will consult Trump with nonpublic information... "There is absolutely no conceivable or legitimate reason to have a back channel with WikiLeaks, and certainly not one extending to the president of the United States," Price told the Examiner. "If we want the perspective of Russia's intelligence services, we should allow the CIA to be the primary conduit."
Sure sounds to me like some folks are getting unnecessarily hot and bothered about all this, but remind me again why it is we ought to place such monumental trust in the CIA or the FBI regarding any of this in the first place? They have illegally leaked to the Media more times than any of us can count, and always to the hard Left anti-Trump Media outlets. They have unmasked who knows how many Americans illegally, and have in effect declared war on Trump in pushing this Russia Collusion meme. I don't trust any of them I can name---not Brennen, not Clapper, not Comey, and recent history tells us we'd be nuts to trust any of them.
So I have no idea what Rohrbacher might have from Wikileaks, if anything, but I'm glad to see "critics" so exercised about it.
(Rohrbacher) told the Daily Caller that Assange may deserve a pardon for the information he has, and told the Orange County Register the content was "earth-shattering." He declined to tell the Examiner if he was given physical files to hand over, but implied he had not.
On Arpaio, I wish Trump would have waited, but that assumes the sheriff wasn't under any stress waiting for the judicial process to play out. I would have waited for two reasons, neither of which is "abide by DoJ practices."
One reason is simple curiosity. What sentence was the ridiculous court going to hand down? The other reason is let the judge waste more time.
That said, I'm not bothered by the timing. From an "external" point of view, Trump was going to get heat no matter when he did it, and "now" may have benefit of getting inside Mueller's head.
Point 2? Exactly.
Up and at em for first multi team practice at Riverhead. Head out in 1/2,hour. Frederick is psyched to finally play a game.
Go Monarchs!
The President took a burden off of an 85 year old man who has served his country faithfully. No longer will Sheriff Arpaio have to worry about the next court date, or the legal bills piling up to pay for his defense.
President Trump did a brave and appropriate thing in pardoning the Sheriff, and I applaud him. Can anyone imagine McConnell or Ryan having the political courage to do this? Neither can I.
Barbara, it wouldn't even be a question of courage with Ryan or McTurtle. They'd be happy to see Arapio rot away and die in jail, both as punishment for opposing open borders, and as a warning to conservatives who dare to demand they actually honor their promises and do their jobs.
Barbara - another thing about this pardon has to do with the oddity that is "criminal contempt." Arpaio didn't violate any criminal statute passed by a legislature, he violated a court order. The court played the part of the legislative branch in order to get Arpaio to be under jeopardy.
Plus there was the politicization and weaponization of the US Attorney's office, and the pardon shut that down too.
Another pattern, particular to the Arpaio case. At bottom, his violation was enforcement of the law. The court ordered Arpaio to NOT enforce the law.
"An excellent Dennis Prager column ..."
This is an excellent fisking of typical Leftist media.
Another thing about criminal contempt ... " Although Justice Department attorneys are prosecuting the case, the official charge is leveled by the court."
Criminal contempt breaks the usual separation of powers paradigm. The court makes the law, enforces the law, and judges the accused.
WaPo claims, " ... in a trial that was prosecuted by the president's own Justice Department." Misleading. The charge was leveled by the court in 2016, and adopted by Obama's DOJ. Once started, the legal process continues without regard for election results.
I would also like to point out that Sheriff Joe's wife has been battling cancer.
Compassionate pardons are not without precedent.
Flake proves again that his hatred of Trump overrides his common sense and political skills.
This is the problem I have with some of the conservatives. Ryan suffers from the same malady. They appear to be nothing more than bean-counters and don't exhibit any evidence of compassion.

Good Morning! I almost spit out my coffee reading daddy's story about Murkowski growing lettuce in her office. At least Susan Collins doesn't grow lettuce in her office,does she cboldt? :)
Joe Arpaio @RealSheriffJoe 10h10 hours ago
Thank you @realdonaldtrump for seeing my conviction for what it is: a political witch hunt by holdovers in the Obama justice department!
This is the problem I have with some of the conservatives.
I'm having problems with calling any of the anti Trumps "conservatives" because what they are doing flies in the face of small government adherence to the Constitution. Trump has governed more conservatively than any president since Reagan; I don't think that's a controversial statement. Levin has championed almost everything he does and is quick to point out how unconservative everything the RINOs do to obstruct him.
I've said all along that Brennan should be hung by the neck for treason. And we should immediately cease all interactions with Brit intelligence.
Marlene -- who knows what that moonbat Collins does. I bet Murkowski's "thing" is one of those "AeroGarden" things-a-ma-bobs. About as newsworthy as having a spider plant in the office.
I think this is an interesting thread.
Captain Hate,
I agree about Brennan. I got a creepy vibe from him when he was first appointed by Obama. When I learned his background, I was horrified.
Glad to see we were right and I hope he is charged and convicted of something.
I am interested in President Trump being at Camp David. It's not a place he frequents, preferring one of his own places like Bedminster.
However, if I remember correctly it is run by the military, and access to it is not particularly visible. The Washington press doesn't follow to Maryland. They usually just accept that the President is in seclusion and hit the watering holes in DC for the weekend.
If I wanted to meet with someone without media speculation, Camp David is where I would go. Therefore, I conclude something is up.
To see the following frog-marched in front of a world-wide audience would warm the cockles of my heart:
John Brennan, confessed communist and convert to Islam.
Ben Rhodes, outside of Brennan tops the list for treason and snarkiness.
Susan Rice, for her conspicuous lying and deception against America.
Samantha Power, for being the most butt ugly UN rep ever plus treason.
James Clapper, for lying, stumbling and over doing his Mr. Magoo schtick.
Josh Earnest, just for being who he is.
Camp David is out in the sticks in Maryland past Frederick on the Catoctin Mountain. I've been camping by there before, further up the mountain from Camp David. It's very secure.
Captain Hate,
In addition, anyone could arrive by helicopter and the press would never know.

MM,Camp David is a Navy installation,maintained by the Navy Seabees. My sister's husband (retired Seabee electrician) was stationed at Camp David. They lived in Hagerstown and often attended services at the chapel. He (b-i-l) served the end of Clinton's term into the Bush term. She has pictures of her kids with both Presidents.
JiB--great line up! We can sell tickets and finance Sheriff Arpaios well deserved retirement. (Where do people who live in AZ go for the summer? None here. A balmy 46 this morning, btw. Warming trend.)
And I've said it here before, I'll say it again:
If these people could see what their tattoo is going to look in ten years, they would never get one.
Have yet to see one that doesn't bleed. Even if a person hasn't gained an ounce.
Wonder if we'll get photos of DJT shooting skeet so we can do a side by side of his and Zippy's mechanics?
If these people could see what their tattoo is going to look in ten years, they would never get one.

That's how Father Hate convinced me: used one of his buddies who had rugged good looks but whose tats from being in the Navy looked like dog barf. Lesson immediately learned.
You are corret. Its formal name is "Naval Support Facility Thurmont". When FDR started to use it (built by the WPA) he named it "Shangri-La" from the movie Lost Horizon. Then Ike named it Camp David after his father and grandson.
Again I urge everyone to read this to see how the GOP leadership is trying to sell us out:
I've never seen anything like a party that hates its base so much.
--"If we want the perspective of Russia's intelligence services, we should allow the CIA to be the primary conduit."--
Remember when the CIA was a rogue agency full of evil and in desperate need of reigning in? You know, back when it was fighting communists even if ineptly?
Now the domestic commies seem to love it and want all things foreign filtered through it. Why, it's almost like it's been captured by the anti American subversives it used to spy on.
I missed it when Gorka was dismissive of Tillerson in public. That right there is reason enough for him to leave.
The toruse hate their voters something fierce.
Hoover had a grand mal version of the arpiao dustup, I pointed out the source a whispering campaign from a fmr? Oss John weitz and the grunted widow of a mob boss.
It seems odd that the only comprehensive coverage of Harvey is The Daily Mail.
Had dinner with a couple of friends last night who are thinking about a pooch. The wife who is hilarious said they were thinking about one of those "big terrier things", which stumped me at first. Then she said "you know, what do they call it, an Airedale".
So I told them how much you enjoyed yours, CH.
Didn't realize Airedales aren't shedders til she mentioned it.
Why Trump Can't Pardon Arpaio, at the Failing NYT, has been given a new and improved title, "A Pardon for Arpaio Would Put Trump in Uncharted Territory."
The premise of the article has a massive fatal flaw. Pardon power does not extend to civil contempt, which is the power that courts use to enforce their own orders. Criminal contempt is an odd duck.
Isn't it, beasts well they will come around when it comes to fix blame.
It seems odd that the only comprehensive coverage of Harvey is The Daily Mail.
Yeah. It's hard to find any just facts about what is happening.
I'm gonna try some local sites.
The pre-storm hysteria was so overwhelming that I couldn't even decipher between what was expected to happen & what was actually happening.
Yes we got a yorkie in part because of the shedding problem.
Early birthday greetings for Glenda.

WRT Harvey, other than the press, which wishes misery and death in all things, normal people hope the storm does not live up to the hype.

This is interesting. I am reminded that my grandson once asked me why everything was black and white during WWII. LOL!
So I told them how much you enjoyed yours, CH.
Didn't realize Airedales aren't shedders til she mentioned it.
No terriers shed. Airedales aren't for everyone though; the breeder I got Teddy from has urged some people toward Goldens and other more sedate breeds. Plus Teddy got into it with a Mastiff nearly three times his size and two other dogs who attacked him at a dog park; it was mostly posturing on defining the pecking order but he takes no shit from other dogs but then will roll on his back to let little dogs roughhouse with him. For some reason he doesn't like Huskies.
I've given up on describing the bodacious trim who become enamored with him but there were two recent examples who were just stunning who had very cute Rott and King Charles Spaniel pups. I saw a Gordon Setter at a dog park a while back; if anything they've rarer than Airedale sightings but very attractive dogs.
I know consider the source:
News this AM says Gorka left the WH. Trump implies he was fired.(Obviously I'm way behind)
Arpaio should not have been pardoned IMO, as the case would have been thrown out on Appeal, which is a much better message.
I grew up in Kingsville, TX (near Corpus Christi) & we had some hurricanes come through. I don't remember the FEDERAL government being involved.
Maybe some lower interest loans were gotten for business rebuilding if it was declared a disaster...but otherwise, the clean-up was all a local effort.
Yes process is the pinuzhment, Jane, yes delay was ultimately acquitted but they had extracted their pound of flesh,
Captain Hate,
When Maggie was young I took her to several rounds of group training with an excellent dog trainer. There were all sorts of dogs in the class with a variety of personalities and problems. (Maggie was too bossy of me and I needed to learn to be firm with her, for example.) We had dogs who were too timid in public, ones who pretended to be deaf, etc.
Anyway, one of my favorites was the Mastiff. They wee originally bred as home guard dogs adn their charactier is to mostly lie around but attack with short bursts of speed and ferocity if needed. Mostly they are actually pretty gentle dogs who lie around a lot.
If Mastiffs weren't expensive one would be my next dog.
King Charles spaniels survive by having excessive cuteness genes which attract ladies to the breed.
I also gained an appreciation for Chihuahuas, which I had always thought of as little ratty dogs, but one gal had one as a helper dog for an emotional problem (he even had an official jacket to identify him) and he was a real trooper. Very smart and loving.
Jane,how are you feeling? I hope your flight was uneventful.
Mark steyn will probably be vindicated, but the lesson is you don't ever attempt this again.
If the people who think Arpaio should have been forced to endure another couple of years of legal harassment wanted to set up a legal defense fund for him that compensated not only his legal fees but the continuing stress and smearing of his reputation then I'd say they might have a better point.
The perfect time to kneecap a political prosecution is the earliest possible moment.

I'll bet Trump is, at least in the back of his mind, looking for a replacement for Cohn. Nobody is irreplaceable, and Cohn has signaled he will consider resigning for reasons unrelated to the performance of his job. I wouldn't trust him to stay the course, and who knows what infraction will cause him to resign on short notice?
Pretty dumb to allow word to emerge, that he'd gone so far as to compose a letter of resignation and seriously consider resigning.

I was talking to Mrs. JiB, who is in Florida, that the press in this country are truly dispicable hoping/wishing/praying for Harvey to deliver a calamity instead of hoping/wishing/praying that it spares lives our our fellow humans and citizens. They want death and destruction so they politicize and criticize Trump. Doesn't that bother every senitent soul out there?
And yet, we're the deplorables.
Grasping for straws in the climate scare, I see.

Marlene, my leg still hurts but was 1000% better yesterday than the day before and completely bearable today. Thanks for asking. I was Chatty Cathy on both full flights, met lots of Trump supporters, or people who should be given their outlook on life.
I may be wrong but I don't think Arpaio was facing years of litigation. The Judges errors were so blatant and egregious a simp;e motion to dismiss on appeal should have done it. Maybe not that simple, but close.
BYRON YORK: Trump dossier mystery deepens.
""The reason it is not at all believable that a Republican was behind it is, nobody used [any information] from it," Rubio campaign manager Terry Sullivan told me. "Everybody was pretty damn desperate at the end. If someone had a kitchen sink, they would have thrown it."
My friend thought there might be some semantics involved. "The phrase 'wealthy Republican donor' doesn't necessarily have to denote a Republican," he wrote in an email exchange. "It could refer to a Democrat who has also made occasional donations to Republicans, especially if the source of the info is trying to mislead without technically lying.""
The feature on my devices is automisatke
If Mastiffs weren't expensive one would be my next dog.
Feeding them can't be cheap. Teddy has played well with a few Mastiffs (they are more frequently encountered than they used to be) but they are so large he's always on full alert and if it's a male that hasn't been nutted almost always one will try to show dominance with varying levels of reaction.
I'm glad you had a trainer that taught you how to get control of Maggie. Trainers who use only positive reinforcement are not good for terriers who need to be told No. Teddy's been the best behaved dog I've raised from a pup other than I can't be completely secure walking him off leash.
Well clearly fusion had never worked for a republican before they were retained by molochs minions and against vanderslip, the things you can get people to believe in dc.
The pre-storm hysteria was so overwhelming that I couldn't even decipher between what was expected to happen & what was actually happening.
Same here, Janet, and I'm in Texas.
Looking at the radar, the storm hasn't moved very far, but it does seem to have weakened. It finally started raining here in Austin about midnight, but in a normal hurricane the rain would have gotten here much sooner after landfall. So the stall-out seems to be happening as predicted.
Since flooding is going to be a big worry if the storm continues to sit on top of south Texas, I guess that's why the feds declared the emergency sooner rather than later. In a normal hurricane you would mainly have cleanup afterwards, but in this case no one knows when the "afterwards" will start. The evacuees may not be able to go home for a while if at all.
I once bumped into a couple with a brace of mastiffs. Can't remember the figure on monthly food costs but it would have financed a pretty decent car.
My understanding of the dossier is that the GOP folks abandoned it, before the effort had produced information. They can't use what they don't have.
The claim is that some wealthy republican got the ball rolling, not that they stayed in until the report was completed.
September 2015, a wealthy Republican donor who opposed Trump's candidacy in the Republican primary hired Fusion GPS ... When Trump became the presumptive nominee in May 2016, the Republican donor withdrew
How much and what dirt was available in May 2016? According to wiki summary, FusionGPS didn't even start looking into the Russian connection until Jun 2016.
anonamom re:If these people could see what their tattoo is going to look in ten years, they would never get one.
Au contraire Pierre - My darling butterfly tattoo which is just above my ankle looks the same as it did the day I got it 8 years ago. No bleeding. It really looks cute with cropped jeans. I'm contemplating getting a small red rose on my shoulder. Just don't know if I can handle the pain again.
That's a reasonable concern:
So we are told cbolt, but until we see any evidence.
Captain Hate,
I bought Maggie ecause I wanted a good watchdog (which she is - her breed is very territorial) BUT becaue they were red as farm working dogs for herding livestock including both cattle and geese as well as sheep, they are "managers" and very bossy.
Before I took her to training it had gotten so bad that I was shutting her out of my office. I still have an old pair of tennis shoes for yard work which have chunks of the heels bitten out by her grabbing me. I also still have scars on my forearms where she npped me in an effort to get me to do what she wanted. I seriously thought I was going to have to give her away.
What I learned is to use simple and firm commands instead of explaining what I wanted her to do, a fault my daughter still has with her dogs. A firm downpull on the chain collar with a deep "NO" was all it really took.
I will be forever grateful to that guy. And you are right: positive training dows NOT work except for laid-back, non-aggressive dogs, of which English shepherds are NOT.
You know she writes informative books like this, then she goes full moonbat like above.
This list of flood alerts for the Austin area suggests we will have significant flooding in low-lying river areas because the storm isn't expected to dissipate until Tuesday.
If that happens in the Austin area on the outskirts of the storm, then the flooding in Corpus, Houston, San Antonio and all the areas in between will be epic. :(

Review: Velocity Micro's Cruz Reader
This isn't much of a review of the Cruz Reader. But it is a review of the business and customer support practices of Velocity Micro, the company that makes the Cruz.
The Cruz shown in the photo below was bought by my wife Lisa, as a birthday present for me in September 2010. I had done a good deal of research on eReaders and the Cruz looked like it would be the right eReader for me. In addition to being an eReader, it had a color screen which I could use to display photographs, would display Office documents, and would do email.
The Cruz arrived in twice the time paid for: Lisa paid for two-day delivery. It took four days to arrive, which is typical of UPS, in my experience. The Cruz seemed to be working properly for approximately 48 hours, then the WiFi went south (and no, it wasn't dropped, heated, or hammered upon, etc.). Without the WiFi working properly, the Cruz was of little use to me since I couldn't easily download books, Office documents could not be displayed because the Android application that handles that is Web-based, and email was impossible because it requires some sort of internet connection.
After several phone sessions with Velocity Micro (VM) support technicians it became obvious that I had a defective Cruz. Other devices such as an iPod Touch and a netbook had no problem connecting with my WiFi network, whose signal strength was listed as "Excellent" by the Cruz. I spent a dozen hours field testing the Cruz over a three day period before giving up. During that period of field testing I had reconfigured my router, rebooted the unit and performed hardware resets multiple times, and installed the firmware update, all to no avail.
When I contacted VM yet again to arrange to return the unit, I was informed that there was a 15% restocking fee. I sent an email message to the person I was told was the manager of Cruz Technical Support, an "Ellen". I asked Ellen to waive the $30 restocking fee (15% of $200) since the Cruz I had received was defective. I received no response, though I had given my telephone number and email address.
Several days later we received an email message from VM, which began with "Congratulations!". VM had credited back $170 and retained the $30 "restocking fee".
Two more times into the breach: I phoned VM tech support and asked the tech for "Ellen". The tech said she would connect me to Ellen's voice mail. I told her I didn't want to talk to a machine, that I wanted to talk to a manager who could be responsive. She replied that Ellen wasn't available at that time. I asked when I could call back and she would be available. The tech replied, "Never".
That seemed somewhat less than helpful, so I located the email contact information for the President of VM (no phone number was available via the Website). I wrote to the President explaining my experience with the Cruz, and again asked that the "restocking fee" be credited back to us. I received the following message via email the next day.
That email arrived 12 days ago, as of this writing, on 10/12/2010. I have received no response from the President of Velocity Micro.
The Bottom Line: Because we took a chance on the Cruz Reader, and it is apparently the policy of Velocity Micro to "rip off" customers who receive defective units, we are now out over $50 (the "restocking fee" and shipping two ways). Velocity Micro is incredibly unresponsive. It is quite apparent that it simply does not care about its customers.
But it is not too late. Velocity Micro still has time to return the money we lost and redeem itself for its robber baron business practices.
Mr. or Ms. President of Velocity Micro, I am still waiting.
Update 6/23/2012: I am still waiting…

I told her I was in downtown Los Gatos. She said good, she was there too and was trying on a new dress and she wanted me to see it. I said, okay, I will be there in five minutes. I arrived, we looked at the dress and liked it. I said, wait a minute and I took her picture. Then I blogged her picture so the whole world can potentially see her new dress.
Susie buys a new dress, is hardly big news. But, this information transaction is illustrative of the huge changes happening in our society. In the 90's ubiquitous portable phones came into reality. Now 50% of those phones have cameras. According to a story I read in this morning's paper those in-phone cameras will soon be as good as regular cameras. What will this mean for news coverage? What will this mean for politics? What will this mean for labor or education? What will this mean for the world?
Imagine if folks on the top of the world trade center on 9/11 had such phones and could send out pictures using them? I remember the chant during the 1968 democratic convention in Chicago. The crowd chanted, "the whole world is watching." Soon it will be, "the whole world is broadcasting." When that happens there will be no keeping secrets anywhere.
The implications for the labor movement are huge! Every employee will be armed with the technology to reveal safety violations or harsh working conditions. This technology will empower employees to take on evil employers who lie and cover-up the truth about how they treat employees. It will be as easy as telling folks about a new dress, and just as quick. Everybody will soon have the power to do this right at their fingertips.

The trails in the park feature thick forest that remain unchanged for thousands of years filled with ancient trees, vines and dense shady canopies blocking out the light. The earlier you get there, the best chance to see white-faced, howler and spider monkeys swing through the canopy looking for fruit like. Scarlet macaws fly through the forest, perching on royal palms and squabbling over fruit among the park's 400 other species of birds. Sloths, peccaries, agoutis, coatis, basilisk lizards and boa constrictors are just a few of the other animals dwelling in the park.

New Readers
Background: Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. is an industry-leading owner and asset manager of luxury business hotels and resorts in desirable North American and European locations. Asset management is its focus and core competency. Its portfolio is currently made up of 17 properties totaling over 8,000 rooms and includes properties managed by internationally-known hotel management companies such as Four Seasons, Fairmont, and Ritz-Carlton. Based in Chicago, IL, Strategic Hotels & Resorts is a real estate investment trust (REIT) and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BEE.
Challenges: Strategic Hotels & Resorts had been backing up and storing its data using two cloud providers at an annual cost in excess of $150,000 per year. Because cloud providers charge by volume of data stored, the costs continued to increase as the volume of its data grew. The company has extensive retention requirements – it essentially never gets rid of critical data – and as such could no longer cost-justify continued use of the cloud providers. In addition to the high cost of outsourcing, restoring data could only be done through a complicated and unfriendly user interface. The interface required granular detail in order to locate and restore data, and this was quite time consuming and frustrating for the IT staff. If a disaster occurred, the level of difficulty to obtain data in a timely manner would have made fast recovery nearly impossible for the lean IT department. Because of their increasing volume of customer data and difficulty accessing and restoring it – as well as the rising expense of storing it – Strategic Hotels began looking elsewhere for a better, more secure solution. The company hoped that bringing its backups in-house would not only provide a strong ROI but would also help offset the expense of its new disaster recovery site.
Solution provided by ExaGrid Systems, Inc.: After comparing a number of different solutions, Strategic Hotels & Resorts deployed ExaGrid's disk-based backup with deduplication system for a fraction of what it was spending annually for outsourced backup services. The company realized an ROI in just three months and will save over $150,000 in the first year of backing up its data to the ExaGrid system. In addition to the financial benefit, critical to the company's decision was how the ExaGrid handles deduplication because this translates directly to the speed of backups. Strategic Hotels implemented the ExaGrid because the system deduplicates its data post-process (after the backup process is complete) versus in-line (while the backup is being performed), so its backups are done in as short a window as possible, freeing up bandwidth for its other network traffic. Strategic Hotels reports a deduplication ratio of 11:1, which maximizes its data storage capacity. Instead of having to use the cumbersome interface required with the prior cloud solution, the IT staff now accesses and restores data almost immediately using the ExaGrid. Also important to Strategic Hotels was its long-term plan for handling data growth, so the scalability that it found in the ExaGrid was of paramount importance. The company purchased only what it needed for their current requirements, which made good economic sense to them. It didn't have to buy ahead and make an investment in storage that it doesn't yet need. However, once the company nears storage capacity, instead of facing a costly "forklift upgrade" or having to totally replace its existing system, it will be able to leverage the initial investment and simply add onto what it already has by adding another ExaGrid appliance. Strategic Hotels is very pleased with ExaGrid's customer support model of assigning an engineer to the account who knows the environment and proactively monitors the system on a regular basis. This approach provides a single point of contact for the company.
Summary: Strategic Hotels & Resorts has successfully brought its backups in-house using the ExaGrid and has realized a three-month ROI with a savings of over $150,000 per year. Using data deduplication, the company stores a maximum amount of data in a minimal amount of disk space. In addition, the company now has immediate access to business-critical data with a plan for future growth that makes solid economic sense.

Please print out this article, find a quiet 10 minutes, and read it.
Economics is full of sophisms (common errors) and several notable ones are straightened out by the Walrus Magazine.
It tells the tale of down and out economist Edward Castronova, who was visited by genius. A seasoned player of online fantasy games, his insight came from discovering that players sold items which they'd earnt within the game, over eBay, for
real money US dollars.
Here we go: what is "real money"!
And another: how can we keep creating wealth?
Castronova soon calculated the Ever Quest exchange rate, it's GDP (making it the 77th largest "country" in the world - further: what is a "country" - an economic entity defined by arbitary political boundaries?)
He'd done what mortals can but dream of, he'd stumbled across a research field, and created a "real" study where economic activity can be measured in an experimental setting. A functioning laboratory, ripe for analysis.
He also looked at Ultima Online and Lineage 2, to name but two similar games.
And how did the economic community respond? Rejection after rejection.
One reviewer wrote a snippy note saying he preferred "to stick with things that are real rather than virtual.... One can appreciate the economists' confusion. Even the most highly valued virtual goods do not seem, in some essential way, real. An Axe of the Heavens may be great for killing virtual orcs, but it cannot be enjoyed in the physical world. You can't eat virtual food to stay alive. But that distinction shouldn't matter — at least not in economics, which is, as Castronova never tires of pointing out, the study of the entirely arbitrary values that people ascribe to things. "Most of a diamond's value is virtual, too," he addsThe article draws on Adam Smith, and Marx, and if teaches you anything let it be this: economics is not only more curious than we think, but more curious than we can possibly think.
Thank you to Faith for sending me the article, and to Nick Schandler for alerting me to Alex Tabarrok's prior treatment of the issue.

Finding Distributors for Caudill Seed
It will be critical that you talk to quality distributors most especially if you want to avert problems and at the same time, make your business a success. And even though there are a number of rules as well as regulations stipulated by the FDA to have a safe importation of vegetables and fruits, still there were still some importers of such produce that managed to skimp on these. This automatically compromises the safety of foods they are offering. Following are pointers that you probably want to be mindful about to ensure that you are getting reputable caudill seed distributor and importer.
While you are looking for distributors and importers that can deliver quality, it is imperative that you look out for those who've been in this business for long and if they have proven track record. As a matter of fact, it your assignment to figure out if you can rely on the stated delivery time of your distributor. Be sure that the caudill seed importer and distributor you found is trustworthy and transparent with the transaction. Working with local distributors in your area is going to be smart if you want to make savings on overhead costs.
In the next lines you're going to uncover tips that'll help you for sure to find the right distributor.
Tip number 1. Get a tour of their plant – be sure that before you decide on a certain distributor, you insist seeing what is actually happening in their plant. Assuming that there are importer or distributors whom you are talking to who don't want you to know how they operate or see their plants, then rest assure that something fishy is going on. Perhaps, it could be the fact that they have unhygienic handling practices, pest infestation, unclean work area and so forth.
Tip number 2. Get deals from different food distributor – when looking for food and vegetable distributors or importers, this is basically that one rule that you must not forget. If most of the importers you found are expensive because you're not placing bulk orders, then try looking for one that can give you a better deal on your caudill seed. Keep in mind as well that you have to check out their payment terms prior to agreeing on anything.
If you are a recently opened business, then it can sometimes frustrate you to find caudill seed distributor as there are many things to be factored in. But you must not step back no matter how frustrating or intimidating the process is.
You need to know and always keep in mind that you're a buyer and it is you who does them the service of getting caudill seed and not the other way around.

Teaching to the middle in Australia: Four teachers tell their stories
Year published
MetadataShow full item record
This chapter explores the perceptions of Middle Years specialist teachers in the contemporary Australian schools context. Written narratives were obtained from four Australian teachers with distinctly different paths to teaching in the middle years, but each with high profile leadership roles in the sector assumed relatively early in their professional careers. These teachers were asked about their entry into teaching, their pathway to middle years, opportunities and limitations experienced for them in schools, and their conception of the future of middle years reforms in Australia.

Regardless of where you stand on global warming or climate change, the news this week out of Great Britain is disturbing. Six Greenpeace activists were charged with causing property damage to a coal fired power plant in Kent, England. They were cleared of the charges by the jury.
The activists used the "Lawful excuse" defense under the Criminal Defense Act of 1971. That law states that a "lawful excuse" exists if damaged caused by an action can be shown to prevent greater damage, as in breaking down a door to try to keep a fire from burning the whole house down. Their "lawful excuse" was that by causing damage to the coal fired power plant, they were trying to prevent the greater damage of global warming.
There is still considerable debate (unless you are Al Gore) in the scientific community on how much of climate change is man made, and how much is natural weather cycles. In fact, you can find a lot of arguments against man made global warming at GlobalWarmingHoax.com.
There is a huge difference between vandalizing a legitimate business involved in a legal activity, and breaking down a door to fight a fire. It is too bad that a jury in Great Britain isn't intelligent enough to know the difference. My bigger fear is that we here in the states might eventually make the same boneheaded decisions.

Middle-East has turned out to be one of the most sought after destination for those who want to establish a firm career as English teachers. Inflated demand for learning English as a foreign language people residing over there has resulted in high requirement of native English teachers.
Have you ever dreamt of cherishing a rewarding working life as an EFL teacher abroad…? Then going to Middle East can be the best decision for you to let your dream come true as the destinations there can offer you the job you desire for. Numerous EFL teaching job opportunities are available there and with the salary they provide while working, a lush and lavish lifestyle can be affordable. Most of the educational institutions also arrange the accommodation for them whom they hire as EFL teachers which is an added benefit in a completely unfamiliar place.
Pursuing a TEFL certification course that is globally recognized can let you acquire a profitable EFL teaching job in any part of Middle East. Bagging an EFL teacher's job can be the easiest in Saudi Arabia as the learning institutes there do not even ask for a TEFL certificate. All they seek for is native English speaker who can deliver effective lessons to students. Those who possess a Bachelor's degree and prior experience are given more preference. Salary ranging from 5,000 to 15,000 per month (1 USD=3.75 SAR) is usually offered to teachers which are adequate for them and the most exciting part is that it is absolutely tax free. Pure Islamic culture and tradition is being followed in Saudi Arabia which you may find it difficult to get adjust to but if you are kind of a person who are open to changes and do not take much time to adapt, then Saudi Arabia can be the ideal destination for you to start your EFL teaching career.
United Arab Emirates (UAE) which holds a massive presence of varied schools and universities recruit native English speakers who have got Bachelor's degree. Owning a TEFL/TESOL certification is a must to grab an EFL/ESL teaching job there. A teacher can earn from $1500 up to 3000 USD and like Saudi Arabia salaries in UAE are tax-free too. Cost of living is quite low there which will help you to lead a lavish life while working as a professional EFL teacher.
If you wish to reside in a culturally rich foreign locale and lead a fruitful EFL teaching career at same par, then Turkey deserves to be considered by you. Turkey is basically the intersection point of Europe and Middle East consisting heterogeneous population who aspire for the global language. EFL job opportunities are extreme in Turkey and TEFL certification along with a university degree is needed to obtain such jobs there. Remuneration paid to teachers is almost $2000 to 2500 Turkish lira per month (1 USD = about 1.9 TL) which is not a lofty amount but enough for leading a satisfactory life if you do not have the habit of investing much.
Gripping a productive EFL teaching job in Israel can be effortless for almost every aspirant as TEFL certification is not required there. Though education is taken seriously throughout Israel but it also proffers many fun activities that teachers can enjoy while living there. Base salaries that is being rendered is economical as compared to other places but if you gather substantial experience before heading towards Israel, then you are ought to win bonuses while getting hired as a full-time EFL teacher.
The EFL job scopes and earnings of teachers at disparate locations of Middle East reflect the scenario of English teaching career there. To savor a promising occupational survival as an English teacher abroad, you must proceed to Middle East as you can genuinely bag an EFL teaching job from the multifarious opportunities that you are bound to face there.

Cardi B has joked that she's just getting "fat" after a fan asked her if she was pregnant.
The 25-year-old singer was taken back when an upfront fan asked her if she was expecting a little one - referring to it as a "Kylie Jenner secret" - after she recently uploaded a video of her singing and dancing on Instagram, but rather than take the comment to heart, she hit back by claiming she has just piled on some pounds.
Referencing the rumours that Kylie is pregnant but is yet to confirm, the fan asked: "Is there maybe a Kylie Jenner secret that we need to know about lol Just asking."
To which Cardi hit back: "no bitch I'm just getting fat. Let me fat in peace. (sic)"
Meanwhile, Cardi has been engaged to Migos rapper Offset since October last year, and although the pair would love to get married toward the end of this year, they don't think they will be able to fit it into their hectic schedules, as they need "two weeks" off to enjoy both a wedding and a honeymoon.
She said recently: "You want to know the thing about is. I really want to get married around the fall time, I love the fall time. But I keep getting, 'Do you want to do tour around this time?' 'Hey do you want to do this around this time?' And it's just like - I'm touring, I'm putting out an album. He's touring, putting out an album.
"It's not only about the wedding date. It's not just one day. It's gotta be a whole almost two weeks type of thing. We want a honeymoon. Do we even have time for that?
"We're really into our careers in our lives ... We are really workaholics. It's crazy."
It comes after the 'Bodack Yellow' hitmaker revealed she had extravagant plans for her big day.
She said: "It's gonna be extravagant. You know, we're both rappers. We're both artists, so it has to be a very extravagant wedding."
