Not much time for hobby things lately... But I got something done. Here's some pics!
I decided to hang on to the purple theme on the feathers and shields... With the same color on the spider fangs, the rider and mount bind together nicely.
Here's the gigantic one. Still missing the rider. Same color theme with this one, for it will be part of the unit in the future games, when ever I take a spider unit on the table... For it's cheap in points and nasty in battle :)
The pose was hard to make, but I think I got it quite right...
Even with all those legs in the unit, it ranks up perfectly. More of legs soon... Bye now!

Oh boy- i love voting! And, I love your new fence! It's adorable.
I think I like the first house choice. Too bad I don't live closer. I could come and lend my long limbs in aiding you paint the shutters.
- April 29, 2010
- Tawny said...
The first house choice, or the 2nd house choice with black shutters and a black door. That's my favorite combo. Try it!
LOVE the fence!!!
- April 29, 2010
- Kellie said...
Love the new fence!
As for house colors...here's my vote in order of preference:
#3 (why not a red door?)
I happen to love red front doors. It's one thing my husband and I agree on!
- April 29, 2010
Love the fence and am voting with my daughter-in-law - #1 is my first choice.
Great Aunt Marlene

Number one is my first choice. I LOVE red doors.
- April 29, 2010
I vote for #1, the fence is beautiful! Grandma Bonnie
- April 29, 2010
- MelinaLawson said...
I like color option #1 best - nice and bold without being overwhelming. And showcases that amazing fence! ^_^
- April 29, 2010
- Ariel said...
I vote #3.
And seriously if you want help for the lower levels (afraid of heights!) I would be willing to help! I love painting :)
- April 29, 2010
- Shawna said...
I like #1 the best.
I loved the photo of Jeff with the chainsaw in the ground! That would be a fun caption photo, especially without the back story. Got Gophers? :-) Made me think of Caddyshack for a minute.
- April 29, 2010
- Melanie said...
Hey Alysun - the fence looks GREAT! Phil and I both put in our vote for the first house with the darker paint and nice red door. :) Take care!
- April 30, 2010
- Stacy said...
#2 & if you wait until late July I'm totally there to help out!
- April 30, 2010
- Dan & Hillary said...
#2 is the choice!! I love the darker but still red, door.
PS- your fence sounds like it could protect a federal building with all the reinforcements it has;-) You are blessed.
- April 30, 2010
- Andee said...
Ok, so when I saw the first picture of you helping out, I thought, where did she get enormous pink rubber boots? I want some! The fence looks great and I would vote for #1, but since it's so close to the color scheme we were going for, I will have to vote for #2. :)
- April 30, 2010
- Amanda said...
I like number 1! And your fence looks great!
- April 30, 2010
Option 2 all the way. Although I like white for the "farm" house look. But a modern twist is pretty cool too. Btw I don't know you but really feel like I'd like to meet you after reading your blog all the time. Wish you were closer to GA so you could help me with my house.
- April 30, 2010
- Sherri said...
Love #1! This grandma is thrilled the fence and gate is done! Emma is a thoughtful child, but Mandy runs and drives without a care of where she is... I will sleep better!
- April 30, 2010
I noticed the fence last time I was out at the farm and I admired it. I would love to come and help you paint! I think #1 is nice. I recommend Behr or Miller paint. Let me know, I can leave the kids with Mom and Dad and help you out.

The fence looks amazing and beautiful! We, too, live on a very busy road near an intersection and have two fearless little men running around these parts. We have a fence but need gates at our driveways and this is inspiring to see on your blog!
I love choice #1 or choice #2 with black shutters. Green and red together on a house always reminds me of Christmas for some reason, but I do like the house color in #2.
- April 30, 2010
I love the fence! I'd go for option #2. I've always had a thing for black shutters. :)
- May 01, 2010
- Kari said...
about red front doors. As darling as they are... When I lived in Sweet home there was a "slum lord" who put red doors on all his houses...kind of labeled his not so fortunate tenants that way.
I like the lighter brown.
My man also is really really good with chain saws in the ground for tree roots. He set up our dog kennel with the bucket loader and in the rain the other day...post coming soon. I think they may be twins separated at birth!
- May 01, 2010
- Sara said...
I vote for #1, #2, and then #3. I love the fence and it makes me wish we had one even more!
- May 01, 2010
- Linds and Manda said...
The first one you posted is my favourite. I love the red door. My second vote goes to the third picture. Too bad the actually paint job isn't as easy as clicking a button on photoshop.:) The fence looks wonderful. If I lived closer I would come help you paint. And that says a lot about our friendship because I've done very little painting and what I have done was not done so while having fun. Thanks also for the heads up on the google search. What a pain it would be if you're looking for info on a picket fence and you come up with pictures of Mr. Darcy fencing in order to rid his thoughts of Miss Elizabeth Bennett. :) On that abstract thought I will bid you adieu.
- May 01, 2010
- simplykersh said...
I totally go for #1 - But me and darker browns just get along good. I would be willing to trade childcare on painting day as we will also be painting our house this summer, we would love to have your girls up.
And my Jeff says to your Jeff - wear safety goggles because he makes wantabe farmers like himself feel bad for being over protective!

- joyq said...
Oh oh oh pick the black shutter red door one! oh oh oh! I love it !!! Here is my tried and true advice: You will NEVER regret a red door. Ne-ver.
- May 01, 2010
Whoo Hoo on the fence!~Great job!~As far as the painting house option I Love #1. Now I must admit I'm a bit biased as this is similar to my house. My house color has a bit more green in it vs. the taupe. So, if you're heading over to your sister's house we only live a couple of blocks from them. 1925 23rd. Happy Painting!
- May 02, 2010
- Melanie said...
I vote for #2 - I think the black shutters make the house look grounded - like it's here to stay. Ok - kind of a weird reason, but anyway, that's what I thought when I saw it.
How nice to be able to be able to experiment with photoshop and see what it will look like without putting in all the work!
- May 02, 2010
- Notorious M.E.G. said...
In order of preference:
The dark green/black shutters are gorgeous & I love red doors. The first one is nice as well. I don't really care for the third one. Good luck either way!
- May 02, 2010
- Janelle Rispler said...
I would have to go with the majority here and say number 1-- maybe with black shutters?? The fence looks great. I love your little farm.
- May 04, 2010
I love your roof! Can you tell me what company makes your roofing material?
- July 27, 2011
- Christian Renwick said...
Great job with your fence! It looks really good! I love that you treated this project as quality time too, and I'm glad that you guys had fun building it. I also commend you for not settling on a fence type just because it was the least expensive. Quality and durability is vital, especially when safety and privacy are of the utmost importance.

German tech company Siemens is reportedly cutting jobs and closing some of its offices to prevent profit losses as market demand in Europe slows down as the continent struggles against recession.
The previous plan of company Chief Executive Officer Peter Loescher to focus in infrastructure and energy saving products did not find traction. Many analysts are expecting that he will present another plan so the company can save up to $5.2 billion.
While other European countries are now feeling the effects of the continent's economic crisis, Germany on the other hand is doing well because of its strong exports from several big and successful industrial companies.
However, an unexpected decrease in profits during the third quarter for Siemens, Germany's largest company in terms of market capital and number of employees, indicates that even Europe's largest economy is not immune from the crisis as its products find fewer buyers than before.
Peter Loescher took office as chief executive in 2007 inheriting a company mired in a bribery scandal and getting away with some of its assets. In 2011, he predicted that his company's total sales would increase from 76 billion in 2010 to 100 billion in the next few years.
But apparently, Peter Loescher's prediction is not happening as growth has not kept up with Siemen's investment due to longer than expected recovery of the global economy. Former customers of Siemens suddenly drop order numbers prompting Loescher to take drastic action.
Peter Loescher is the first Siemens executive recruited outside the company in its 160-year history. He believes that his currently strategy is working but needs time for the economy to recover.
Analysts watching how he'll manage the company are expecting him to put a 2-4 billion savings plan when he will meet with the company's 600 managers in Berlin. Some of these managers are expected to lose their jobs in the process.
He is also expected to announce the closure of the company's offshore offices so he can focus its resources and eliminate the underperforming offices.
The German media expects Siemens to cut thousands of jobs in Loescher's announcement of the company's financial results in November 8.
As of June this year, the company had 410,000 employees throughout the world. About 129,000 of them are based in Germany, making Siemens one of the major employers in the country following Volkswagen and Deutsche Post DHL.
Although Siemens still has the lead in some of its big products like software that automates factory production or MRI technology that scans the human body, the company's competitors like Switzerland's ABB and General Electric are actively doing cost-reduction efforts to maintain profit margin.
The France-based Schneider Electric and Switzerland's ABB have already finished their cost-cutting programs while Philips Electronics said it is cutting more jobs to restructure its business.
Siemen's response to its rivals cost-cutting measures involved investing renewable energy as it anticipated faster economic recovery. The company spent around 3.13 billion euros within 9 months for research and development, taking away almost 6 percent of Siemen's revenues.
But the projects were not able to gain momentum as it saw a 40 percent drop in new orders due to decreasing demand in Germany as well as the financial challenge that slowed down construction for more offshore wind projects.

The Little Skeleton began as an homage to Frida Kahlo, and Dia de Los Muertos. As a woman familiar with, and brilliant at expressing loneliness and pain, Kahlo's life and work opened my eyes to an aspect of our culture that is hugely amiss. We are uncomfortable people who don't want to talk about bad things. I envy older cultures, more mature and brave in tradition.
I created the Little Skeleton's image and a one line explanation, hoping to evoke discomfort, but also a fondness for the character that would conquer the discomfort.
People began to inquire about him, and that encouraged me to tell his story...
The Little Skeleton is abandoned by life, too quickly, and left in the wrong season at a theme park. Going through the motions, without an animate friend or guardian, he is not so much trumped by rides and games without operators, as forlornly playing until he just moves on. He plays every game and rides every ride, but it's not what it's supposed to be. Then he departs. It's not meant to depict suicide, as the little skeleton is already dead, but I guess the imagery is a bit macabre. It seems to me he was just born that way, more a sad symbol of the loneliest thing: being a child with no play mates, in a space that's usually filled with color sound and company; everything with him is just a bit off.
The story book is hand dyed, embellished, and screen printed with my original drawings. I made eight copies and have two left, available at The Little Skeleton

Manufacturer limited warranty is an assurance by the ENERGY STAR Participant that purchased system equipment and components are warranted for a certain required period-of-time. The ENERGY STAR Participant is to comply with the warranty requirements as standard for all ENERGY STAR certified models. ENERGY STAR can request the Participant to submit warranty documentation at any time. The exact terms of the limited warranty, given the minimum requirements, shall be determined by the Participant.
- Asymmetric defrost
A change in the defrost cycle during a low temperature test that increases the duration of a defrost cycle, or the frequency of a defrost cycle, by more than 10% during the low temperature test
- Ventilation rate variation
A change in net ventilation rate of 10% or more brought about by automatic control system changes during the non-defrost portion of a low temperature test. Note that this does not include ventilation rate changes that take place during defrost cycles or ventilation rate changes that occur because of frost formation during the test.
- Disclaimer Label
The disclaimer label is a label that shall include the ENERGY STAR mark. The label shall be available for download from the ENERGY STAR web site.
2) Certifying Products
In order to qualify as ENERGY STAR, a residential H/ERV must meet the definition in Section 1A or 1B, comply with the testing and minimum performance requirements provided in this specification, and have a capacity of no greater than 500 cfm (236 L/s). H/ERVs with electric resistance heaters are ineligible for ENERGY STAR certification.

The 60h period shall be extended as necessary to allow for analysis of an integral number of complete operating/defrost cycles, e.g., if the HRV/ERV is in a defrost at the end of the 72h test.
4) Quality Assurance Requirements
To assure the quality of ENERGY STAR certified H/ERVs, the following quality assurance requirements must be met for an H/ERV to be ENERGY STAR certified:
Warranty: Participant shall provide a minimum one-year warranty.
5) Inclusion of Installation Instructions
Picture diagram-type installation instructions shall be included with each certified H/ERV. The instructions shall indicate the following:
- How to properly seal the openings to the exterior of the thermal envelope of the building with caulk or other similar material to inhibit air leakage.
- Recommended ductwork installation including type, impact of elbows, terminations, sealants, and lengths that will minimize static pressure losses and promote adequate airflow.
- Proper installation of vibration deadening materials such as short pieces of flexible duct.
- Proper installation of thermal insulation and connecting ducts to minimize heat loss and gain.
6) Consumer Information
Manufacturers must include the following information on the product or in product literature and on the Participant's web site:
- "To ensure quiet operation of ENERGY STAR certified HRV/ERVs, each product should be installed using sound attenuation techniques appropriate for the installation."
- "The way that your Heat/Energy-recovery ventilator is installed may make a significant difference to the electrical energy that you will use. To minimize the electricity use of the Heat/Energy-recovery ventilator, a stand-alone fully ducted installation is recommended. If you choose a simplified installation that operates your furnace airhandler for room-to-room ventilation, an electrically efficient furnace that has an electronically commutated (EC) variable speed blower motor will minimize your electrical energy consumption and operating cost."
- "Installation of a user-accessible control with your product will improve comfort and may significantly reduce the product's energy use."
- The label shall begin:
"This product earned the ENERGY STAR® by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by Natural Resources Canada and the US EPA. It meets ENERGY STAR requirements only when used in Canada."
The placement of this statement must be adjacent to the ENERGY STAR mark and any text describing the ENERGY STAR program and/or certified products.
The disclaimer label will be available for Participants to download from the ENERGY STAR web site with other ENERGY STAR marks. It shall be at least 3" x 2" in size, and may be vertical or horizontal. The Participant may enlarge it for larger product packaging surfaces if so desired.
The disclaimer label shall be clearly displayed on the same side as the ENERGY STAR mark on the product and product packaging, in the installation/instruction manual, and on the Participant's web site where information about ENERGY STAR certified models is displayed.
- The label shall begin:
7) Product Testing and Certification
Manufacturers are required to perform tests, according to the requirements included in this specification, and then submit qualifying model information for approval. Each qualifying model must be tested in accordance with CSA C439 and certified by HVI, or another such organization as approved by NRCan (see Section 9, Requirements of Organizations Certifying Products for ENERGY STAR). Certification testing includes both initial qualification testing, as well as ongoing verification testing. Furthermore, manufacturers must submit copies of the full 72h lab reports to NRCan via HVI. The lab report must be received by NRCan before any model can appear on NRCan's list of ENERGY STAR certified models.
8) Verification and Challenge Testing
The Participant shall be subject to the verification and challenge testing procedures of the organization that certifies its H/ERV products, and ensure that the certification organization shares with NRCan the results of this testing.
9) Requirements of Organizations Certifying Products for ENERGY STAR Certification
This specification does not grant any organization the exclusive right to certify the performance of an H/ERV product for ENERGY STAR certification. NRCan will maintain a list of organizations authorized under this specification. As NRCan approves certification organizations, it will add them to this list. NRCan will consider the following elements when reviewing a certification organization for inclusion on this list:
- Laboratory Requirements
Laboratory accreditation: To test H/ERV products under this specification, the certification organization must ensure that all ENERGY STAR models are tested by an independent 3rd party laboratory that is accredited by an accreditation body that is a signatory, in good standing, to a mutual recognition arrangement of a laboratory accreditation cooperation (i.e. ILAC, APLAC, etc.) that verifies, by evaluation and peer assessment, that its signatory members are in full compliance with ISO/IEC 17011 and that their accredited laboratories comply with ISO/IEC 17025 or CAN–P–4E. Laboratories must be specifically qualified to carry out tests to determine whether H/ERVs meet key product criteria as outlined in this document. A laboratory's Scope of Accreditation must reflect its specific competence to carry out the applicable test procedures referenced in CSA C439.
- Verification procedure requirements
- The organization shall have in place a verification testing procedure.
- Product procurement: Products to undergo verification testing shall be procured from the marketplace. In order to ensure the organization's ability to procure a production unit, the organization shall not inform the Participant which models will be tested or where they will be obtained. Where this is not possible, and the products must be procured from the Participant, the organization shall ensure the samples are randomly selected from the production line.
- Frequency of testing, and number of products to be tested: The organization shall ensure that 100% of each Participant's certified base model products that are ENERGY STAR certified undergo verification testing every five years. The proportion or number of a Participant's products to be tested annually may be determined by the certification organization.
- Resolution of failures: The organization shall have in place a procedure to resolve product failures, and provide NRCan with details of this procedure.
- Challenge procedure requirements
- The organization shall have in place a challenge testing procedure.
- Product procurement and resolution of failures shall follow Section 9.B, Verification procedure requirements.
- Certification of base-derived or similar products
The certification organization shall not certify an ENERGY STAR certified product based on the ratings of another product unless the differences between the two products are limited to those that do not adversely affect product performance. Examples of acceptable differences include but are not limited to color, finish, and nameplate.
- Membership requirements
The organization shall not require that a party seeking product certification be a member of the organization. Product verification and challenge testing shall only require that the product has been certified by the organization.
- Consideration of the organization's procedures
The certification, verification, and challenge testing procedures, as well as all other relevant aspects of any certification organization, must be available in written format to current or prospective ENERGY STAR H/ERV program Participants, and must be submitted in this format to NRCan for its review.
- Reporting results to NRCan
The certification organization shall report to NRCan on an annual basis the outcomes of verification and challenge testing for all ENERGY STAR certified products certified by the organization.
10) Effective Date
The date from which products must meet the requirements specified under Version 2.0 of the H/ERV specification will be defined as the effective date of the agreement.
- Certifying and Marking products under the Version 2.0 specification
The effective date of version 2.0 ENERGY STAR Technical Specifications for H/ERVs is March 1st, 2015. All products must meet Version 2.0 requirements to qualify for ENERGY STAR.
11) Future Specification Revisions
The US EPA and Natural Resources Canada reserve the right to change the criteria should technological and/or market changes affect the usefulness of this specification to consumers, industry, or the environment. It is anticipated that a more stringent H/ERV Specification will be developed within five years of the effective date of this Specification. This will provide H/ERV ENERGY STAR Participants with some lead-time to improve the overall performance of their products while allowing them to benefit from ENERGY STAR market development programs.
The ENERGY STAR name and symbol are administered and promoted in Canada by Natural Resources Canada and are registered in Canada by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Citizens should turn out for Tesoro Pipeline meeting
June 6, 2014
Citizens on the East and West sides of Summit County may be divided on some issues but they are united when it comes to preserving their pristine mountain surroundings. They are especially protective of their water quality which is why it is extremely important for everyone to pay close attention to plans for a new petroleum pipeline that could jeopardize both.
Tesoro Refining and Marketing, LLC, is proposing to build a 135-mile long, 12-inch diameter, heated pipeline to transport approximately 60,000 barrels of waxy crude per day from its oil fields in the Uinta Basin to the refineries in north Salt Lake City. Dubbed the Uinta Express Pipeline, it will traverse a 14-mile section of the Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest near Wolf Creek in the Upper South Fork area of the Heber-Kamas Ranger District. It is slated to enter Summit County near Woodland, travel west through Francis and then turn northward, bisecting the Kamas Valley.
The proposed route skirts the west side of the Kamas Valley and then runs to the east of Rockport Reservoir before turning west at Wanship and heading toward the Salt Lake Valley.
While much of the alignment runs along the existing Chevron pipeline, the Tesoro project will require a wider easement, 50 to 100 feet, and representatives from the company have been notifying property owners along the route that their land may be affected. That has some Kamas Valley residents up in arms not only about their own property but about nearby rivers, creeks and wetlands.
But residents on the West Side should be concerned, too. They may not realize that much of their water comes from the east side of the county
The Kamas Valley, strategically located at the base of the Uinta Mountains, is an important catch basin for snowmelt which flows into the Weber River. Much of that runoff is stored in Rockport reservoir for use by both the east and west sides of the county and during the official comment period for the pipeline project three major culinary water providers expressed their concerns about the project's potential impact on water quality.
Recommended Stories For You
Park City Municipal Corp., the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District and Mountain Regional Water Special Service District have submitted written comments. According to Park City, the pipeline alignment comes "within a few feet" of an intake structure that supplies 35 percent of the city's water supply.
All three entities also cite the possibility of a possible pipeline rupture and the devastating effects it could have on the area's already-stretched water supply.
According to Tesoro, the pipeline is preferable to the increasing number of oil transport trucks currently traveling through the county via U.S. 40 and Interstate 80. That traffic is currently pegged at 250 trips per day and is expected to increase as the oil fields are expanded. And that may be partially true. But installing a pipeline does not mean there won't be continued truck traffic, as well. It just means there will be a different kind of environmental threat.
If this scenario worries you, as it does local water managers, please consider attending Tesoro's community open house this Tuesday, June 10, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at South Summit Middle School, 355 East 300 South, in Kamas. According to Tesoro representatives, it will be an opportunity for the community to review maps and other information and to ask questions. The public input will be passed along to the engineering and design teams.
Too often, citizens are complacent during these preliminary study periods but become enraged when the bulldozers start tearing up the land at an already approved project site. Tuesday is your chance to weigh in before it is too late.

True, I watched the service in Auckland, and saw the National Anthem of Australia was sung first, then our one, first in Maori, then in English. A big turn out. Early, very early, a chopper flew past our home, maybe on the way to Waiouru, one of the new NH90, quieter than the others. It was not much more than a flashing light behind the trees as they flew low.Many in NZ will have special thoughts and memories today. Cheers, JeanReplyDelete

4 Players Who Are Changing the NBA As We Know It
If you haven't been paying attention, the NBA is slowly making a general shift toward younger players.
No, I'm not saying that the top teams are all full of rookies and second-year players. They're not.
The NBA's best squads -- the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, and San Antonio Spurs of the world -- are home to veteran players and superstars of today rather than tomorrow.
All the same, the average age of the NBA has leveled off at 26.7 years old -- the same as it was the last two seasons. And it's actually increased from 26.5 in 2013-14. However, since the 2003-04 season, the average age has been below 27 years old. Prior to that, the last time it dipped below 27 was in 1988-89, when the average age was 26.9.
In the last three years or so, the distribution is even more relevant in the conversation. In that span of time, there have been a total of 30 players, at 22 years old or younger, with at least .110 win shares per 48 minutes. This year, that count is at eight, and four of those players have a player efficiency rating (PER) of 23.0 or better: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Nikola Jokic.
Both Antetokounmpo and Embiid are 22 years old, while Towns and Jokic are younger still, at 21 years old. They, among others, are the future of the NBA. Each one of them is grouped within the family of "seven-footers" while maintaining elite efficiency. They're physical anomalies and, at the same time, are churning out one-of-a-kind figures.
Antetokounmpo, the Greek Freak, has been a revelation over the last few years. Towns and Jokic showed flashes of brilliance last year and have grown into young stars in their second seasons. And, this year, we have gotten to throw Embiid into the same classification. He, like the others, has quickly become a different kind of freak, and with that, the NBA future is here.

While waiting for a friend to be released from jail for a nonviolent action today, I write this reflection. More on the nonviolent action after he is released.
In September, 1968, the USA, to our knowledge, was bombing one country, Vietnam. Through the selective service system young men were being drafted into the military and being sent to Vietnam to kill or be killed. 20% of officers in the military were being trained in military training programs at many local colleges and universities.
In September, 2016, the USA is bombing nine countries and is contributing weapons and training to countries and rebel groups all over the world. The Selective service does not draft young men any longer. The military has adopted education as its recruiting tool. Young men and women of age 18–25, when part of their brain, the part that assets risk and consequences, is not fully developed, are being recruited by offers of jobs and education. Due to advanced technology of killing, less men and women are needed in military. Now 80% of military officers are being trained at fewer universities around the country.
All colleges and universities, except pacifist ones, are required by law to offer military recruiting training to any interested student in order to receive Federal grants of any type. However, only universities that are selected by the Department of Defense and volunteer to do so, have military training programs (ROTC, NROTC and AFROT) on campus. Military recruits from all other colleges and universities in the region are transported to these few universities that host these Departments of Defense (DoD) on campus. Schools that host the military are well compensated by the Department of Defense and credits earn in the Departments of Army, Navy/Marines or Air Force are transferred to home school of the recruit. For example, Marquette University host military training for 17 or so Colleges and Universities in Southeast Wisconsin. Now 80% plus of officers in military are trained in military programs at few local colleges and universities.
With the military training now focus on fewer schools the training has become more intense on training to kill or be killed. For example, after World War II it was discovered that only 25% of American Soldiers actually fire weapons at the enemy to kill. Though the study of brain science and using simulated technology game training (like killing video games pioneered by US military) the shoot to kill ratio is now over 95%. The consequence of this type of training, called in some military circles, as reflexive killing has been devastating on young men and women recruited in Military. As CPT Pete Kilner, instructor at the U.S. Military Academy said to the Joint Services Conference on Professional Ethics in Washington, DC in January 2000: Soldiers are conditioned to act without considering the moral repercussions of their actions; they are enabled to kill without making the conscious decision to do so. … Battles are won by killing the enemy, so military leaders should strive to produce the most efficient killers. The problem, however, is that soldiers who kill reflexively in combat will likely one day reconsider their actions reflectively. If they are unable to justify to themselves the fact that they killed another human being, they will likelyand understandablysuffer enormous guilt. This guilt manifests itself as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and it has damaged the lives of thousands of men who performed their duty in combat. The suicide rate of veterans, about 22 per day, is tragic consequence of this type of reflexive killing.
In September, 1968, I participated in the Milwaukee 14 nonviolent action, destroying 1A selective service draft records to stop kill or be killed. Today as Jesuit trained Catholic and Christian I again feel compelled to stop the new selective service system, military training (ROTC) at Marquette. No matter how much money, honor or glory Marquette receives from the US government to teach war and killing as Christians we must say No to Marquette hosting the Department of Defense on campus. St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, a soldier who laid down his weapons to be a companion of Jesus, calls to us to reject riches, honor or glory and to be in solidarity with the poor and to practice the nonviolent love of Gospel, to love even our enemies. If Marquette will not stop teaching war and killing by no longer hosting the Department of Defense on campus we must do it with our nonviolent love and action.

Los Angeles
Drew Barrymore won't let her daughters act until they are 18 as she wants them ''to be kids''. The 40-year-old actress - who shot to fame when she was just seven years old and was in rehab at 14 - knows Olive, three, and Frankie, 18 months, may ''hate'' her tough stance but she is determined to shield them from the limelight while she can.
She said: ''I would not let them act. I want them to be kids. They might hate me for it, but there is no way until they are 18.'' However, when they reach adulthood, the 'Miss You Already Star' - who is married to Will Kopelman - will support her daughters if they do decide to follow in her footsteps.
She added: ''If they are 18 and still serious about it, of course I'd support that. I'll take it one step at a time.'' Drew's kids don't see her as famous and she hopes they are ''empowered'' by her decision to be a working mother, and don't resent her career as she has a good work/life balance.
She told Grazia magazine: ''My kids know me as the one who wakes them up every day and takes them to classes and gets them dressed. They don't see me as some famous figure. ''You make your work a positive thing so your kids see that work is empowering, but then spend more time with them than everything else, so they see it doesn't take you away from them.''

Cambodian and United States soldiers are set to kick-off the third annual Angkor Sentinel today, a bilateral military exchange.
The 10-day exercise, which will take place in Kampong Speu and Kampot provinces, is designed to boost the defence relationship between the two countries; 100 soldiers from the US will participate along with 420 members of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces.
"We hope to promote stronger experiences for our members of RCAF for humanitarian missions," Ministry of Defense spokesman Chhum Socheat told the Post yesterday.
According to a press release issued by the US embassy in Phnom Penh yesterday, the joint exercise is part of a "substantial multi-year effort" by the US armed forces "to actively engage with Royal Cambodian Armed Forces and expand peacekeeping and stability operations capabilities".
The joint mission will include both field exercises – such as training for handling improvised explosive devices – and humanitarian work.
Last year, US soldiers helped build a three-room school and a health clinic.

Support Groups & Inclusivity
One of the ways IP Inclusive aims to make the IP sector in the UK more diverse and inclusive is by creating support groups for 'minority' groups working in IP. So far, IP Inclusive has set-up IP Out, a networking group for LGBT people and "straight allies" working in the IP profession. The IP Inclusive Women in IP group is also in the making and should hold its first event later in the year. Some of the Women in IP events will be open to women and to men who want to help the profession become more welcoming and supportive of women. IP Inclusive decided to create these groups in response to feedback from people within the IP sector who felt that such groups would provide them a 'safe' network in which they could share advice and support. Having these networks and connections can help some people feel more included and less isolated in the profession or workplace.
However, some people may question how such support groups help to create a more diverse and inclusive workforce, as the groups may appear to be exclusive rather than inclusive. Some view support groups as indicative of an underlying bias towards those in the support group. The riposte is simple: (1) if the support groups interest you, you are most welcome to ask to join the group and its events; and (2) if hiring and promotion decisions are truly merit-based, underlying biases towards any characteristic should not affect these decisions.
We hope to announce the details of IP Inclusive's first Women in IP event soon. In the meantime, here is the second of two articles about the recent AIPLA Women in IP event.
Susan Kirsch (Partner) and Jennie Cox (Senior Associate) of Carpmaels & Ransford write: "As part of the AIPLA Annual Women in IP event, Carpmaels & Ransford LLP held a drinks reception with canapes and music in London on 21st April".
"We were very excited to have Jacquelyn Guderley, a cofounder of Stemettes as our keynote speaker. Stemettes is a social enterprise that encourages girls and young women to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). Jacquelyn delivered a thought-provoking presentation, first explaining how she was moved to embark on her role with the Stemettes by the enthusiasm of a group of young girls she met in 2013 and then going on to tell us about "sherpas" and "outbox incubators" and other ways in which the Stemettes inspire and support the next generation of girls to follow a path into STEM".
"The event was superbly catered for by Holborn Community Cooks and music was provided by the talented duo from Carpmaels, John Fisher on piano and Matthew Birch on trumpet".

Hi all.
Just wanted to share with you my project for this month over at The Crafting Café. The theme is Think Pink, very appropriate seeing how October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The sponsor this month is Aurora Wings and you must pop over to the web page to have a look at these amazing designs. The image I chose is called Autumn Rose. I used a technique that I have been dying to try for ages, separating the image into sections and inking. This was the first time in ages that I've had my Distress Inks out.
The background paper and embellishments I've had in my stash for ages, so these had an airing too!
Hope you like it and do hope you'll pop over to The Crafting Café and join in this month's challengex

BIG-IQ Cloud provides you with the tools to manage Amazon EC2 and CloudWatch resources required to perform application delivery. Management tasks include discovering and creating BIG-IP VE virtual machines located in Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), application pool servers, and deploying applications. You can use these features to accommodate application traffic fluctuations by periodically adding and retracting devices and application servers, as needed. Additionally, you can provide tenants access to self-deployable iApps through Amazon EC2 integration.
To provide access to these services for Amazon EC2 tenants, you configure communication between Amazon EC2 products, and BIG-IQ Cloud. Then, you associate a Amazon EC2 cloud connector with a device, and create a catalog entry for a corresponding Amazon EC2 service profile. The tenants to whom you give access to the catalog entry see it in their applications panel. From there, they can use it to self-deploy their own iApps.
BIG-IQ Cloud integrates with three different Amazon Web Services: Amazon EC2, Amazon CloudWatch, and BIG-IP Virtual Edition deployed in managed Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
For proper communication to devices located in an Amazon web service, BIG-IQ Cloud you must configure an outbound self IP address to DNS and NTP, and you must define a network route between the BIG-IQ Cloud internal VLAN and the public Internet, or the Amazon web services endpoint. For specific instructions, refer to BIG-IQ System: Licensing and Initial Setup and your Amazon documentation .
An Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) user account provides access to specific Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources. Creating an IAM account provides you with more granular control of the AWS resources your users access.
For this task, you must create a group and two IAM user accounts. For the most current instructions for performing these steps, refer to the IAM documentation web site, http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/iam/.
You need an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to deploy the BIG-IQ Cloud system, because AWS provides only multiple network interface card (NIC) support for instances that reside within a VPC.
You create a virtual network topology according to your networking needs. The standard network topology used for BIG-IQ Cloud integration includes three subnets. These subnets provide virtual private address spaces used to interconnect your machines and applications. You can use elastic self IP addresses for public internet accessibility.
For the most current instructions for creating a VPC, refer to the VPC Documentation web site, http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/vpc/.
<xxxx> is the Internet Gateway that the VPC Wizard created automatically.
You launch an EC2 Amazon Machine Image (AMI) so that you can deploy the virtual machine.
Before you can create an EC2 cloud connector, you must first discover devices in the Amazon EC2 cloud and create an Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) user account. If you want BIG-IQ Cloud to automatically provision additional BIG-IP VE servers and devices for your tenant when more resources are needed, you must also purchase and activate a license pool to associate with this connector.
Before you perform this task you must first open specific ports on your EC2 AMI BIG-IQ instance and on any associated EC2 BIG-IP instances. To open these ports, you need additional security group rules in your allow-only-ssh-https-ping security group, and you need to associate these rules with the management interface.
You need to create three rules: two outbound rules for the BIG-IQ instance, and one inbound rule for the BIG-IP instance.
You can perform this task only after you have licensed and installed the BIG-IQ system and at least one BIG-IP device running version 11.3 or 11.4.
Before you perform this task you must first open specific ports on your EC2 AMI BIG-IQ instance and on any associated EC2 BIG-IP instances. To open these ports, you need additional security group rules in your allow-only-ssh-https-ping security group, and you need to associate these rules with the management interface.
You need to create three rules: two outbound rules for the BIG-IQ instance, and one inbound rule for the BIG-IP instance.
To create a BIG-IP VE version 11.3 or 11.4 instance in Amazon EC2 cloud, you must update the BIG-IP VE REST framework that supports the required BIG-IQ Cloud Java-based management services, and then associate the EC2 Cloud connector you configured with that device.
You might want your tenants to have access to all or part of the EC2 cloud you are provisioning so that they are able to configure resources required by their applications. You can provide full access by simply providing the account information (user name and password) that you created previously. More typically, you can provide more limited access by setting up separate user accounts for the tenant, and then configuring the access for those users as best suits your needs.
The following step-sequence provides an outline of the tasks you perform using the AWS EC2 user interface. For the most current instructions for performing each of these tasks, refer to the Amazon Web Services EC2 Management Console web site https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home.

Proving Grounds have been something I've been looking forward to trying since the moment I first heard they'd be a thing. Naturally, the second they popped up in the PTR, I was in there. I figured I would give it a couple of tries to satisfy my curiosity, see how far I could get in endless, give a little feedback (so I could feel like a good tester), and then wait for it to come to live so I could get all my achievements in a permanent sort of way.
A couple of tries turned into a couple more and, at this point, I would not be surprised if I've put in upwards of a hundred attempts on endless. I blame my nemesis, the eighth wave (formerly knows as Wave 8, also known as Wave 7 or 'the one with all the evil Pyroblast-spamming Flamecallers in which the annoying hunter stands in the fire'). I've gotten past it twice, and not once since they made Flamecallers immune to fears. I could probably go on and on about all that's wrong with this wave (and me, given that I keep bashing my head against it even though I know I'm very unlikely to succeed). But I want to talk about the one element in it that I think is problematic on all of endless healing mode: RNG.
Now, RNG is a great thing in most regular fights. It makes them feel slightly less predictable, slightly more interesting. It makes this week's Iron Qon, where my side of the room got no fire spears during the first phase and healing it was a breeze, completely different from last week's, where we got all the fire spears on our side and I needed to lifegrip people over lines, Pain Suppress our shammy with five stacks of cinders and use Voidshift so our mage wouldn't die. Sure, it's very frustrating to die because you got crappy RNG but, for the most part, you can look back and figure out what you (and your raid) could've done to prevent the dying, and hopefully get a little bit better at reacting to crappy RNG in that particular fight. And there's nothing more satisfying that surviving through crappy RNG.
So what is wrong with a little RNG in Proving Grounds? And let me assure you that there's a lot of RNG, ranging from the one-hundred-and-something-k Pyroblasts cast on random people, to the bleed debuffs cast on other (or sometimes the same) random people, to your party's seemingly random ability to interrupt certain spells at apparently random times, to you hunter's random ability to tell his butt's on fire.
Nothing's wrong, really, except in endless. Endless, as you might be (might be) able to tell from the name, doesn't end. It doesn't end 'til the health of one of the people in your party reaches zero, and this is only limited by two things: your ability to keep up with the damage, and your mana. There is this ideal point in gearing every healer intent on getting to wave thirty must look for, where somehow you get enough spirit to boost your longevity without making the throughput stat loss make your heals hit like wet noodles, rendering you unable to respond to the HPS requirements (or being only able to do so by spamming your large, or quick, inefficient heals). You also need to figure out the most efficient way to deal with abilities (is it better to cast two Flash Heals to get rid of the bleed? Should I try and use a Flash Heal and a Greater Heal) and how to space your CDs so that they both provide an efficient way to heal through medium damage waves and are up to save your butt during high damage waves.
When RNG goes way wrong (when two high damage abilities hit the wrong person, or your rogue fails to interrupt any AoE attack), though, it punches this delicate balance you've woven in the face. You're suddenly forced to either burn a CD early, or burn through a lot of mana. And when that happens you won't be thinking 'hey, I'm awesome, the tank survived that!'. Instead you'll have to wallow in the knowledge that, that wave you're having trouble with, there's no point in even attempting it because you won't have the resources needed to succeed.
Because the success of every wave directly depends on how well you did on previous waves (unless you can manage to do a 'reset', where your party is sitting at a 100% health and your mana regens to full before the next wave, but that's pretty hard after about wave five), and there's no other cooldowns you can rely on but your own, there is no fixing it. There is no way to undo the damage. And bad RNG, instead of being a fun challenge, is the thing that made lose earlier than you should've.
So, Blizz, how about we get rid of some of that RNG? Either make our DPS'ers interrupt more reliably, or don't make them interrupt at all and adjust damage accordingly. Don't put three pyroblasting loons up at the same time, or make that pyro hit a little less hard. Maybe make the aqua bombs prefer people in ranged, and don't allow the tunnelers to apply two bleeds to the same player. Make damage a little bit more predictable so we can all rejoice in one of the other joys of healing, proactive healing.

One thing that is missing when I share a blog post every couple of weeks is all of the ordinary moments and little details that make up our lives. Those are my favorite bits. Those seemingly insignificant moments make up a life, not just the grand outings and the planned activities.
I'm getting a little better. Here's only four days worth of pictures.
Of course we had to read about what makes Mexican jumping beans, well, jump. Apparently, small moths that are native to Mexico lay their eggs on a shrub (Sebastiania pavoniana). When the larva hatches, it eats away at the inside of the seed pod that it inhabits. As it eats and spins its cocoon, the weight of its body causes the small seed to jump around. If a moth successfully hatches form the little beans we can safely release it. Camille has named her three, Salta, Violeta, and Pequeno.
Lucky me. I was invited to attend the royal tea party as long as I was adorned with jewelry. They dolled me up. There was a fruit platter, sliced tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, tomato pesto salad, and clover and mint tea.
Then it was time to take Camille to the public school for band class. During the 45-minute class, Sylvia, Ayla, and I sat at the park in the sunshine and finished reading The Ordinary Princess because it was due back at the library that day. After class and a quick library visit, we brought one of Camille's friends home with us for a sleepover and although Camille had opted out of the royal tea party earlier in the day, her and her friend proved that they weren't too old for dress-up shenanigans. Never too old, right?
I was not close enough to get a clear photo of the crane that we saw, but here is a photo from the refuge of two of the four chicks that were being released that day.
Photo Credit: USFWS/Kara Zwickey
Although we didn't get a chance to help with duck banding, it turned into a really wonderful experience, with other animal sightings as well, and a generous guide who shared photos and stories from some of his other wildlife research experience. He also helped this little painted turtle out of the road to safety. :)
It's hard to tell the scale in a photo, but this whooping crane egg was about twice as long as our chicken and duck eggs.
After leaving the wildlife refuge, another of Camille's friends came home with us for a few hours and the girls headed out into the woods down the hill from our house for awhile. I harvested some random veggies form the garden, and all of the girls settled in to watch Anastasia on Netflix. We talked a little bit about which parts of that story might be true and which are pure legend.
Later in the evening, Camille and I decided that spying on penguins for science seemed like a good idea. We registered for Penguin Watch, a volunteer citizen science project to help count and catalog adult penguins, chicks, and eggs for research. I bounced back and forth between penguin counting and putting together puzzles and being silly with Sylvia and Ayla.
Camille finished the blanket in time for an-all ages Girl Scout meeting. Her group made quite a few of the blankets to give to cancer patients while they were in the hospital for extra comfort. This was their final project to finish the Junior Bronze Award.
Phew! It'll be a bright and busy one tomorrow, so I'd better go make room in my bed where all three of the girls fell asleep. The cover-stealing and occasional errant elbow are well worth it for the serious sister-pile-snuggle-up that awaits me in there. Good night, all.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina's top police officer says he will step down before his term ends in January, but he's not sure when.
State Law Enforcement Division Chief Reggie Lloyd said Friday that he had been talking about leaving the position for a while, but wants to get his agency through another tough budget year and legislative session. Both of those end in June.
Rob Godfrey, spokesman for Gov. Nikki Haley, said Lloyd told the governor soon after her election that he would be leaving.
Both Lloyd and Godfrey said the governor did not ask Lloyd to resign. Lloyd became the first black SLED chief when he was tapped by Gov. Mark Sanford in 2008 to fill out the unexpired term of longtime chief Robert Stewart.
