I have attached a spreadsheet listing certain fields that will need to be exported for one or more of the functions listed below.
Funding - We will need to extract particular data from Encompass which will then be passed through to QB. There will be one value that will have to be calculated based on the figures taken form Encompass, prior to the QB import. This will be on a loan by loan basis.
Purchases – This will be the 'closing' QB entry when the loan is purchased by the investor. The data obtained during the Funding entry will be used along with figures that will have to be manually input prior to the QB import. (example attached) We will also need to track any payments due to the firm from the borrower based on the amount received from the investor.
Payment History – Provide us with the ability to track payments for those loans that we own. We will need the borrower contact information as well as the basics regarding the loan (amount, term, rate, payment amount, 1st payment date) This information can be pulled from Encompass, we will need to manually add any payments that we receive. (example attached).
Payoff requests – This is used in conjunction with the payment history. Occasionally we will own a loan that will be paid off by the borrower. We provide them with a report stating what they owe. This is based on the original loan, interest owed, impounds collected, as well as any payments made by the borrower. (example attached)
Commissions – Based on the funding information, we will have to be able to calculate commissions for loan officers. Certain income, based on the branch, is used in the commission calculation. There are different commission schedules for various loan officers. Probably 10 in total, which does not make it easy. We will need a 'program' to calculate commissions and allow us to make changes when necessary. In addition, certain data from the Purchase of the loan may be included.
1098 reports – For IRS purposes, the firm will need to track, by loan, the interest paid by the borrower, based on the Funding and Payment History. This needs to be kept in a format (excel) that can be later filed with the IRS. (copy of format attached). We will also need to track Discount points paid (as listed in Encompass)

NEW DELHI: Slain Lashkar member Abu Dujana was just one of many terrorists in Jammu & Kashmir who don't hesitate to take a break from the violence to indulge in amorous affairs or force themselves on their victims.
The objects of affection or lust may not always be women, with there being a recorded case of a Hizbul Mujahideen militant from Tral being in a relationship with another man. Another terrorist from Anantnag, Aadil Ahmed Reshi, killed on January 15 this year, was involved with a married woman from Srinagar. The identities of the 'lovers' are being withheld.
A look at the files of militants, both active and killed in the recent past, provides insight into how they lower their guard in between their kills to romance or claim partners in the residential areas of Kashmir. The case histories, accessed exclusively by TOI, show as many as 14 terrorists from diverse groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Hizbul Mujahideen to be involved in "womanising". Of these, eight were killed between December 26, 2015, and August 5, 2017, while one was arrested upon surrender.
As many as five are active terrorists. One on the radar is Sayar Wani, a Hizbul Mujahideen militant in Kulgam who allegedly uses the houses of "girlfriends" as hideouts, and forces himself on others at gun-point. He currently has a reportedly steady relationship with a girl from Yaripora.
A militant from Tral, Mohammad Ishaq, wanted by the police since December 2015 for threatening sarpanchs and panchs, is believed to be in a same-sex relationship.
Of course, the liaisons come with serious security risks. The movements of terrorists are compromised due to frequent visits to their lovers, not to talk of bitter ex-girl friends turning informers.
Umar Majeed Ganai, linked to Hizbul, killed five policemen and two civilians when he attacked a cash van in April. There is a Rs 10 lakh reward for information on his whereabouts. But this has not deterred him from having an affair with a girl from Kulgam.
There are also cases of foreign terrorists from Pakistan and POK being involved with Kashmiri girls. Dujana, who was married to a local woman, was having an affair with another. He was apparently killed not in the wife's house at but at his alleged girlfriend's.
Another 'most wanted' terrorist, Bashir Ahmed Wani of Anantnag, who was killed on July 1, was known to be in a relationship with a person from Dialgam. Danish Dar of Sopore used his love interest's house as a hideout, but ran out of luck on August 5, when he was killed.
Junaid Ahmed Mattoo, a Lashkar terrorist who had gunned down two policemen in June 2016, was involved with a woman from Arwani. He was killed in June.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom! I love you!. Thanks for teaching me the art of pie making and being my inspiration for the project.
During their visit last week , my parents each selected a pie for the Pie Project. Banana Split Pie was Dad's pick.
It is yet another recipe from Pie, by Ken Haedrich. I am trying not to get a little "Julie and Julia" here on you, folks. (Julia Powell cooked some 500 plus recipes from the book Mastering the Art of French Cooking, by Julia Child, all in one year.) I certainly do not intend to make all of the Pie King's 300 home-made pie recipes. It would take me almost six years at this pace. No, Pie is just my go-to book. It is just easier sometimes than doing an internet search. I handed the book over to Dad and said, "Here, pick one."
This is my first attempt at an ice box pie and certainly not the last. You don't have to read the reviews to know that it was a BIG WINNER in our household. There was great celebration from the boys when they found out Grandpa's pie choice had ice cream, bananas and mini m&m's in it! It's a sugar lover's dream come true!
Dad has always been a big fan of ice cream. I recall when I was a kid he used to ask us children to put his ice cream bowl in the microwave for "just seven seconds" so it would melt to his favorite creamy consistency. Don't know if you witnessed this Dad, but I put the whole carton of vanilla bean ice cream in the microwave for old-time sake before adding it to the pie shell! I love you too. Thanks for making the trip out to Idaho.
Here's the recipe.
And the photos…. with simplified instructions.
Step one- make the crust and cool
Step 2- Pour caramel sauce into bottom of pie crust, then freeze
Step 3- Add all the toppings
Step 4- Eat
Now I wish I had photos of that!
Personal Notes:
- Mom made the pie crust while I was out running kids around. She used the nutty graham cracker crust recipe referenced on my Pie #9- White Russian Pie post.
- We used real whipping cream that had been whipped a day previous. It had lost some of its "fluff" overnight, but not enough to keep us from using it. Caramel was used instead of butterscotch because it is my personal preference.
- Adding the filling to the pie shell (ice cream, whipping cream, bananas, pecans, m&m's and chocolate and caramel sauces) took less than three minutes. This pie was SUPER easy to make. I even think it surpasses Pie #13- Peanut Butter Brownie Pie in that category.
- Another bonus, the bananas on the pie did not go brown overnight. I put the pie back in freezer (what was left of it) and the next day the sliced bananas were still the perfect color and just slightly frozen.
- According to Henry this was "the best pie in the whole world!" He definitely had seconds that night and asked for more the following evening. He doesn't eat many pies in our house, so this was a very big compliment.
- My rating for this pie is an 8.5. Can a pie be too sweet? I thought so. The crust and the filling were so loaded with sugar that my boys were on fuego that night! Perhaps it would have done us all good to have used Mom's pie pastry instead….

We found a person who was drowning in a hole. we killed 7 creatures (4 reptiles, 3 psi dudes.) we also found the brother who had no idea how he got there, who the creatures were, or how he got captured.
He told us about how the one Elder went insane and killed the rest of the Elders except the one we have today.

Still investigateng which political opponent to the king, The band of adventurers follows a runner from Prince Dukkah's mansion in the middle of the night. After following him for a day, they decide to capture him. This action works out well as the messenger is a Tengu and can be impersonated. They also see the message he is carrying that states that things are progressing sooner than expected and requests advice. Soar dons the atire of Dukkah's messenger and goes to the meeting location. He meets with another messenger from a sorcer named Vivizax. After delivering the message, Soar attempts to get more information. After not being able to garner much information, the party decides to capture this messenger as well, but the second messengers casts dimention door and steps through it.
Returning to Cacinethal, the party makes their report and delivers the intercepted message to him. Cacinethal suspects that the Prince is being controlled by this mage and instructs the party to deal with it. He instructs the party not to even let the mage speak when they find him, simply to kill him without giving him the chance to cast a spell.
Setting off in the direction of the marked map provided by Cacinethal, the band of adventurers is set upon by a small pack of blink dogs and then an emerald ooz. Both distractions are quickly and easily dealth with. Arriving at the location of the mysterious mage, they discover the ruins of an ancient city. There is a large building in the center of the city that is the only one still wholly intact. Suspecting that their quarry is inside they sneak into the building.
Finding a sorcerer studying inside they set upon him quickly. He is barely able to say "Welcome, I am Vivizax Lasvida…" before arrows start flying. Immediately he conjures a fog that obscures him from view. Soar charges in while the archers and casters find flanking positions in cover. Several elementals appear in the large chamber and the fight shifts to a chaotic brawl instead of a quick take-down. After the fog clears the sorcerer is no longer visible. A laugh echos from the chamber and Vanoliel sees him, standing in the rafters. Fidgit begins to suggest that he may not be as he seems as her plant companion refuses to attack him. Vanoliel heeds this advice and retreats to a defensive position to see if combat can be ended. Sudina joins the two other adventures in maintain a non-combative stance. Runningo, however. releases a spell into the rafters, but it finds no targets as the sorcerer disappears. He barely feels a touch on his shoulder as the sorcerer appears behind him casting a spell. Runningo collapses onto the floor in instant death. Just as Soar is about to charge forward, Fidgit feels the empathic scream of he plant to end combat. Looking over she sees a fern, that has jumped out of it's pot, sitting on top of her puffball. As it turns to stone and upsets the balance of the flying fungi, she calls out to Soar that they must cease fighting. As soon as Soar comes to a halt in his charge. The mysterious sorcerer also stops his annihilation of the party.
Vivizax the greets them with his whole name and welcomes them to the ruined city of Halmeth. He says that he represents the Great Library of the South and is watching the events unfold in the kingdom. He claims to be advising Prince Dukkah and trying to stop a coup d'etat. After listening to him for a while. The party, or those who are left, advise Vivizax of what they have seen. Upon informing him of the switched message from the general, he replies that Pon Osa must be the controlling party in the coupe. He says that he cannot directly interfere as that would in an invasion of an internal affair of a foreign sovereign kingdom. He advises that the party put an end to the coupe. He says that the party can try to expose him as a traitor, but this will take a lot of work. His other suggestions are to either kill him, which the paladin won't do without a trial; empower his political enemies, which would take too long; or warn the King, who would not believe them over his trusted advisor Pon Osa.
As the band of adventurers decides that they must expose the power hungry Count, Runningo begins to stirr. Vivizax is intrigued, as he knows that the spell Finger of Death had not failed to kill. Upon investigation he discovered that Runningo was a witch in the service of his patron Death. With his miserable performance in Death's service, Death himself has rejected Runningo and sent him back to the land of the living.
After returning to the city and setting out to investigate three possible suspects that may have some means or motive to undermine the kingdom and its ruler the group instead turns to minor chaos in attempts to gather information, and work out some of the party dynamics that seemed to be festering.
Rhunningo managed to find someone to trade Bellinith's amulet to, so far this person is unknown to the group and Rhunningo has had a lapse in memory. This amulet may be worth tracking back down, seeing as how it came from a powerful magical being that had some importance to the kingdom…
Trading the necklace (for a seemingly cursed dagger) Rhunningo was able to trick Vanoliel into casting remove curse which also removed the magic binding the prisoner's ring to him. Once free of this ring that tied him to the paladin he saught to escape. A very interesting Benny Hill-esk pursuit ensued. Rhunningo managed to escape Vanoliel but was captured by the city watch (a running drow, the only drow in town seemed to have them worried).
Sudina enquired further for information about her parents, and with little luck helped tag along with Vanoliel and Fidget as the tracked down Rhunningo and the leads at the cathedral.
Fidget completely enamored by the mystic tree in her garden would stop it nothing to figure out who what why where how when and many other questions that ran through her head about this tree. Cacinethal said he would help in her quest for answers.
All of this was for not because Soar, in attempts to get straight to the answer and bottom of his person of interest's possible involvement led him to Prince Dukkah's estate. Through the servants quarters and into the office of the Prince. Finding nothing of use, but a locked drawer and the seal of the Prince, Soar decides to leave and instead pursue leads that may be within the office of the Prince at the castle…
This door was locked and seeing as how he would not be given a key and learned he was unable to pick locks whilst in the estate he sought help from the local guild. Two street urchins joined him that evening on his escapade to attempt to break into the castle office (not the estate) and after getting caught the first time and attempting to invoke the name of Cacinethal to continue wandering the keep (as before) the gaurd not knowing attempted to arrest the bird and children.
After knocking out the guard and realizing Cacinethal's name was in the mix, having to cover for their connection to the keep Soar then enlists the children for one last adventure. Halfway to Cacinethal's room one of the children gets spotted and books it with promise of payment to keep the guards attention away from Soar. Once in the room, Soar and the child as loudly as possible trash his room leaving an ominous note in hopes to draw attention in another direction instead of towards Cacinethal's involvement in trespassing.
The guard that comes to check the commotion is jumped by Soar and the kid and beaten unconscious. On payment the urchin ducks out and Soar attempts to sneak out, after getting caught and avoiding capture to throw the scent in a different direction the plan worked… a little too well.
The next morning Rhunningo is released but banished from the city (on reccomendation of Vanoliel) and Soar breaks the news to the rest of the band of traveling adventurers.
After crossing the desert and meeting a band of roving gnolls, and saving a few of them from a giant scorpion. The group decides to camp outside the crypt and rest, the next morning they venture into the crypt, after dealing with a few evil rodents and clearing then entrance out the group found that large stone doors can be dangerous, smacked Soar in the face and thus it was decided that Soar would open all future doors…
After detecting a trap on the next door and disabling it only to find that it led to an empty pantry. All other rooms in this crypt having once been what appeared to be occupied, all the fancy clothes when touched turned to dust :*(
After cramming through tight cooridors the group happened upon a room pitch black with a lovely rumbling beyond, this room was inhabitated by a stone worm and magic along a side of the wall.
The party later discovered that this magic that was detected was a series of portals, after dispatching skeletons in the adjoining room, and running through the portals over and over and over again, Rhunningo managed to get himself trapped in a room with a wagon, only to find out that the portal in that room lead to what was more or less an inverted gravity well that led him to a key, this key opened the door to what was Bellenith's tomb.
Rhunningo without a second thought as to the words of advice given (do not disturb Belenith) runs straight in reaches past the magical barrier surrounding and suspending Belenith in her tomb, grabs the amulet that she was wearing and the entire room grows quiet as the summoned appiritions dissipate.
Hauling nearly 5000g worth of gems, jewels, and gold the party departs and heads back to Cacinethal to report the undead problem has been dealt with. Only to find out they are tasked with investigating the issue of the conflicting reports and rumors of subterfuge within the kingdom.
Cacinethal once again summoners the adventuring band of travelers and asks them to sail the river and meet a guide in a small town outside the mountains skirting the desert, for there have been reports by traveling merchants and caravans of undead in the desert.
Setting out, the group boards a boat and sails the river only to encounter a baby river drake. Thankfully this was only a young drake and the group was able to keep it from sinking or destroying the boat. However the drake was quiet insistent on taking the boat out for crossing its territory. Managing to knock the drake off the boat and back into the river several times (including Soar at one point) the drake then in a burst of anger bellows out a line of flames and sets the boat afire. The captain continues to complain about his boat taking damage, and as Fidgit is saving the sails, the drake then decides to retreat back to his waters and lick his wounds rather than die to what was thought to be easy prey.
Once the travelers made it to the small town and met with a few of the caravans, the group was able to convince the guide to procure a wagon and camels for the desert trek (at the cost of the king/high council as well!) After procuring the means to travel the desert the group was able to narrow down the location of the undead and thus managed to convince the guide to continue to travel with them through the mountain pass and into the desert so that they would hopefully be able to make the return trip as well.
Once in the mountains, the narrow(ish) trail kept the wagon and camels from moving too quickly, Soar remembering the last time they were on a narrow path, demands the group have a pow-wow to discuss why the archers need to focus fire on the more squishy lightly armored threats than the big lumbering targets… once Soar was able to start this discussion/argument with the party he slips out of the conversation and further up the road. After sneaking further up the trail, and using his keen vision (thank god we have a BIRD!) was able to notice 4 onyx colored shimmering lumps, Soar proceeds back down the path and tells the party (who is still trying to figure out how to travel as a group) that there are 4 odd looking things ahead. The guide knowing the region can be trouble stays back with the camels and wagon and gently (prods) the group forward. 5 onyx colored winged monsters sprung up in what they thought was an ambush on travelers only to discover that the group already knew where most of them were, making quick work of the first two and only suffering a minor wound from a thrust spear the group tackles the small pack of beasts and continues forward to the mouth of the desert.
Cacinethal, sends word to the travelers that helped clear the market district. All but Cyrrus are found and summoned. The five travelers are now tasked with getting a report, sealed, from the front lines to the west, back to the king. Reports from the war in the west say that nothing is going on and we should recall the troops. Cacinethal says he suspects that the messengers are being intercepted and the reports changed. The travelers were then tasked to report to the western front and get a hand written report, officially sealed from someone higher ranked than a captain.
The band of travelers set forth and made their way to the western front. Along the road they made quick work of a small wolf pack. A little further down they noticed something blocking the road thought they heard voices. Soar stopping and attempting to slip into the brush and scout ahead, was being left behind by the party that continued to press forward without thought.
Encountering a small group the party stepped up to speak with them, after being told they must pay a tax to continue and refusing a fight insued. The last thing Soar remembers is holding his own with the help of Fidget and her pet fungi against what was clearly the brigands leader and his pet hound. The archers missing most of their shots or focusing on the heavily armored man, were set asleep by the caster who went largly unnoticed for a time. Soon after waking Sudina and Vanoliel focus fire and drop the magic wielder. However the ragged man on the opposite end of the road was making short work of Puff (Fidgit's fungal sidekick) and soon made his way to closing ranks with his leader. Soar manages to dodge and outlive the leader and manages to bring him down, the leaders loyal hound refusing to back down from this strange humanoid bird that dropped his master bites and refuses to let go. Most of this story is a blurr from here…
For awhile after this encounter Soar awakens back in the capital near his stream next to the druids camp, and feeling ill spends nearly all of the gold given to him by Vanoliel to visit the priests to cure what ailed him.
The talkative Gnome informs Soar that they brought his body to the front lines with them and got the report from the General. There was obviously no war and the General wanted to send his troops home. However, upon returning to the capital city (still with the body of Soar) the adventurers were taken before the King and their report from the General was read. It gave a very different account of events and requests more troops. Confused, the remaining party members informed Cacinethal that the report must be wrong. He promised to investigate the situation further. He also gave them a reward, part of which they used to pay for Soar's restoration.
There was a fight in the square, there was a fight in an alley. Running-go-DURR tried to kill people. Violin wouldn't let him. They were tricked by a beggar. They were helped by a beggar. Apparently all is fair in love and begging.
Cacinethal summoning the travelers at the request of the High Council, tasked this motley bunch to help deal with an upstart gang that was causing trouble in one of the market districts.
The group decides that the best place to start would be the market. Splitting up the group begins to ask around, merchants, shoppers, and passers by are all asked if they have seen or heard anything. Cyrrus takes the more direct approach flat out asking if anyone has seen any bandits in the area, while some were trying to make contacts, and others diplomatically trying to pull information from the market. Cyrrus ultimately succeed in that his blunt questioning brought about unwanted attention from the gang and thus they came out to question this tiefling as to why he wanted to know. This led the market goers to slowly clear out of the market sensing the tension and uneasiness caused betweent he naive tiefling and what was clearly one of the bandits. Needless to say the market quickly cleared out as a fight insued. This fight went well enough with only a single bandit escaping and dodging Vanoliel's arrows as she loosed them at the fleeing man.
After arguing over whether or not to kill the bandits (which by order of the King and High Council we were permitted to do so) the diplomatic paladin convinces the group to keep them alive. After securing the prisioners the group decides to "procure" one of the market cart/stalls and bring the bandits along to turn in for sentencing.
Heading down the same alley in which the bandit from the market escaped the group happens upon a beggar. Soar offering the beggar a gold piece to tell all about what he had seen, this beggar however turned out to be a lookout for the bandit ambush (possibly set by the escaping bandit fromt he market). Soar not taking kindly at his attempt to help a beggar and recieve information pummels the beggar as the ambush begins. The ambush looked to be slipping, however the group manages to convince one of the casters in the bandit group to throw in with the adventurers and help end the gangs grip on the district.
After surviving the ambush the turncoat bandit led them through an alley signaling as he passed, helping smuggle the adventures closer to the bandits hideout. Sneaking into the warehouse and clearing out the bandits the adventurers manage to complete the task given to them and learn a valuable lesson in taking out the mostly armorless casters and tehn focusing on the more muscular fighters next. The adventuring band returns to Cacinethal for their reward.
Travelers from all over found their way to a tavern/pub named 'The Drunken Drow'. Mess Not the orc proprietor of this fine establishment knows most of the locals that come through and seeing a lowly drow elf sitting in the local Joe's favorite seat paid it little mind knowing Joe would not be deterred by a drow. Joe confronted the drow, Rhunningo, and demanded that he remove himself from his spot. Oddly enough Rhunningo paid joe little attention other than to tell him to back off and leave him be to drink. Joe not taking kindly to being told off by a drow decided to add a little extra to the drow's next drink in order to dull his senses. Joe confronts the drow once more and this time a scuffle begins, Joe spills a celebrity's drink and the celebrity gives Joe a push back yelling "BAR BRAWL!"
At this point the tiefling, Cyrrus, sitting across the table slinks further into the corner in attempts not to be drawn into the fight. Joe bumps a giant of man and spills his drink, the man flattens Joe and gets pulled into the brawl now as well. Seeing the chaos ensue a gnome, Fidget, jumps onto the bar and begins cheering the fight on. After watching the big man smash Joe the tengu, Soar, made his way across and attempted to bring the big man down. Seeing Joe knocked out cold on the floor, Rhunningo takes the opportunity to beat the unconscious man for poisoning his drink. Across the room an aasimar, Sudina, begins to back off and head for slightly higher ground standing on the stage with the performers. Across the stage a half-elf, Vanoliel, attempted to diffuse some of the patrons by speaking to a pair of drunken dwarves.
As the brawl continued, the guards came crashing through the doors, managing to tanglefoot most of the brawlers and surround the beaten and bloodied Joe as well as Rhunningo. As the guards were pouring in Soar finally manages to subdue the large man keeping him from drawing too much ire from the local authorities. Rhunningo however refusing to let the man who poisoned his drink forget him, attempted once more to beat the unconscious man. The guards stop this attempted murder, arrest and sentence the drow to the dungeons.
Cacinethal, a servant in the high court, got Rhunningo's sentence reduced to time served in service to the realm under the ward of Vanoliel. In the following month the travelers that met in passing at The Drunken Drow received training and met once again at the formal summoning of the King and High Council.
You come to a city, what to do now.

Officially called the B.W. Cooper apartments, the Calliope Projects is one of the Housing Projects of New Orleans located in Central City New Orleans. There are 1,546 units on 56 acres of land. The project was built between 1939 and 1941. There are 690 apartments in the original development. In 1949, a gymnasium was added at Broad and Calliope Streets. In 1954, a twelve block expansion added 860 new units. The expansion pushed the western boundary of the Calio back two blocks from Erato Street to Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The Calliope Projects (or simply Calio to the locals) are among the most notorious in Uptown New Orleans and the United States along with the St. Thomas Projects, Magnolia Projects, and Melphomene Projects. The drug trade and subsequent violence from it were two of the primary reasons New Orleans was nicknamed the "Murder Capital of the U.S."
Man 1 - Aye, they just had another drug related murder in the Calliope Projects.
Man 2 - Dang, thats the third one this week.

Pat came over last night and he helped me hash out what I plan to do for my next fantasy campaign. He wants to wait for the other two corebooks to come out before we play Castles & Crusades. That's fine by me, I kinda was considering waiting for the Castle Zagyg series to begin publication anyway. And traditional dungeoncrawlery has little appeal to him compared to some sort of epic thing. That means Arcana Evolved: The Dragon War is slated for my next big project. Let the high freakery commence!
Fun fact: It's hard to schedule an RPGA event when the DM is apparently ignoring your emails. I'm afraid I purchased these Complete books for nought. I guess I can use some of the stuff for my AE game, but still I feel kinda dumb right now.
Got back over to the Dragon's Table today. I got my Carcassonne expansion and retrieved my hat, which I had left atop a stack of old Werewolf books. I also got a D&D module. I can always use more modules, right? This one is Goodman Games' Dungeon Crawl Classics #14: Dungeon Interludes. I love the structure of this thing. It's designed as six separate adventures ranging from levels one to 13, all connected storywise but meant to be run with other adventures in between each chapter. That seems like a great lowkey way to introduce a theme into a campaign without overdoing it. Goodman Games is fast becoming one of my favorite d20 publishers.

text: http://www.opinionjournal.com/edito...ml?id=110005133 REVIEW & OUTLOOK Saddam's Files New evidence of a link between Iraq and al Qaeda. Thursday, May 27, 2004 12:01 a.m. One thing we've learned about Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein is that the former dictator was a diligent record keeper. Coalition forces have found--literally--millions of documents. These papers are still being sorted, translated and absorbed, but they are already turning up new facts about Saddam's links to terrorism. We realize that even raising this subject now is politically incorrect. It is an article of faith among war opponents that there were no links whatsoever--that "secular" Saddam and fundamentalist Islamic terrorists didn't mix. But John Ashcroft's press conference yesterday reminds us that the terror threat remains, and it seems especially irresponsible for journalists not to be open to new evidence. If the CIA was wrong about WMD, couldn't it have also missed Saddam's terror links? One striking bit of new evidence is that the name Ahmed Hikmat Shakir appears on three captured rosters of officers in Saddam Fedayeen, the elite paramilitary group run by Saddam's son Uday and entrusted with doing much of the regime's dirty work. Our government sources, who have seen translations of the documents, say Shakir is listed with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. This matters because if Shakir was an officer in the Fedayeen, it would establish a direct link between Iraq and the al Qaeda operatives who planned 9/11. Shakir was present at the January 2000 al Qaeda "summit" in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at which the 9/11 attacks were planned. The U.S. has never been sure whether he was there on behalf of the Iraqi regime or whether he was an Iraqi Islamicist who hooked up with al Qaeda on his own. It is possible that the Ahmed Hikmat Shakir listed on the Fedayeen rosters is a different man from the Iraqi of the same name with the proven al Qaeda connections. His identity awaits confirmation by al Qaeda operatives in U.S. custody or perhaps by other captured documents. But our sources tell us there is no questioning the authenticity of the three Fedayeen rosters. The chain of control is impeccable. The documents were captured by the U.S. military and have been in U.S. hands ever since. As others have reported, at the time of the summit Shakir was working at the Kuala Lumpur airport, having obtained the job through an Iraqi intelligence agent at the Iraqi embassy. The four-day al Qaeda meeting was attended by Khalid al Midhar and Nawaz al Hamzi, who were at the controls of American Airlines Flight 77 when it crashed into the Pentagon. Also on hand were Ramzi bin al Shibh, the operational planner of the 9/11 attacks, and Tawfiz al Atash, a high-ranking Osama bin Laden lieutenant and mastermind of the USS Cole bombing. Shakir left Malaysia on January 13, four days after the summit concluded. That's not the only connection between Shakir and al Qaeda. The Iraqi next turned up in Qatar, where he was arrested on September 17, 2001, six days after the attacks in the U.S. A search of his pockets and apartment uncovered such information as the phone numbers of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers' safe houses and contacts. Also found was information pertaining to a 1995 al Qaeda plot to blow up a dozen commercial airliners over the Pacific. After a brief detention, our friends the Qataris inexplicably released Shakir, and on October 21 he flew to Amman, Jordan. The Jordanians promptly arrested him, but under pressure from the Iraqis (and Amnesty International, which questioned his detention) and with the acquiescence of the CIA, they let him go after three months. He was last seen heading home to Baghdad. One of the mysteries of postwar Iraq is why the Bush Administration and our $40-billion-a-year intelligence services haven't devoted more resources to probing the links between Saddam's regime and al Qaeda. In his new book, "The Connection," Stephen Hayes of The Weekly Standard puts together all of the many strands of intriguing evidence that the two did do business together. There's no single "smoking gun," but there sure is a lot of smoke. The reason to care goes beyond the prewar justification for toppling Saddam and relates directly to our current security. U.S. officials believe that American civilian Nicholas Berg was beheaded in Iraq recently by Abu Musab al-Zarkawi, who is closely linked to al Qaeda and was given high-level medical treatment and sanctuary by Saddam's government. The Baathists killing U.S. soldiers are clearly working with al Qaeda now; Saddam's files might show us how they linked up in the first place. Copyright © 2004 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Erwin McManus – "Unleashed" Book Review
May 3, 2011
In true Erwin McManus style, his book Unleashed, paints a beautiful, all be it incomplete, picture of what life as a Christian is supposed to be. Namely, this:
. . . a life lived in the simple belief that all we are meant to do is the outflow of faith, hope, and love (pg. 12).
He relies heavily on his ethos that,
". . . the life you long to live is not waiting in the future; it is waiting in the inner recesses of your soul. You don't need to go find faith you need to unleash it. You don't need to go find life; you need to unleash it. In fact, everything that is good or beautiful and true that you will spend your entire life searching for is simply waiting to be set free through a life that follows Christ with reckless abandon" (pg. 18).
If I have one criticism of the book (and, having heard McManus speak on many occasions, I would say it is not an accurate portrait of his beliefs), it would be that he seems to find this "unleashed" life in simply taking huge risks with your life in Christ; risks which take place largely outside of the community that is the Church. In fact, I would go so far, at times, to call his deconstruction and treatment of the Church, harsh.
Aside from his individualistic approach (again, which I have only found in this book) to a faith meant to be lived out in a community, I would say his words are extremely motivational and many of them resounded in my Spirit as truths to live by (see the two quotes above for examples).
Tempered with an attitude of love towards the Bride of Christ, I recommend this book heartily to someone seeking to grow in their Christian walk.
Thank you to Book Sneeze for giving me a chance to review this book. These opinons are my own.

"Blessed are the ???"
This Sunday, the gospel lesson is Matthew 5:1-12 which is commonly called the "Beatitudes." In them, Jesus (as he usually does) turns the idea of being blessed upside down. It would seem that those who are considered poor and needy are the truly blessed. Maybe it really boils down to what we define as "blessed," though.
What does it mean to be blessed? I just returned from nearly two weeks in my hometown visiting my parents and the rest of my family. I wanted to go before this, actually at the end of November when my mother was moved into a long term care facility because my father wasn't able to care for her in their home any more. Mom has Alzheimer's Disease, and Dad is totally with it, but he is 90 years old and simply not able to provide the medical attention and care that Mom needed. It was something that had to happen, but it was very difficult for our family.
However, as often is the case for me, I begin reflecting on these events and what the blessings are in them. The nursing facility where Mom is now living seems to be very good. I knew quite a few people who are there. These are folks who were my role models as I was growing up: girl scout leaders, parents of my friends, leaders in our church, active participants in the life of our tiny town in the Midwest. Yet, here they are in a nursing facility, most of them sharing half a room, some of them having few or no visitors.
As my sister and I began cleaning out the closets at Mom and Dad's house, under Dad's supervision, I was amazed at how much "stuff" they had. Dad knew that he would no longer need all the "good" dishes, serving bowls, crystal, Christmas decorations, and other things that were stored in the closets and cupboards. Mom treasured all those things, even if she didn't need them or want them. Why? Because much of what was there had belonged to her mother, grandmother, or Dad's mother and grandmother. Some of it came from us kids and the grandchildren as gifts.
But now, as Mom lives in half a room with only the essentials in clothing, some pictures, a few "trinkets" that she really doesn't care about, the whole reminder of what is truly important in life was brought home to me once again. Mom doesn't need "stuff," nor does she want it. What she needs, even though she can't think of it or realize it, is us. It's her family and friends that she needs: those who love her and who are willing to stand by her side even to the end, even in her unawareness and inability to advocate for herself. Sometimes she breaks through the mumbling and the seeming lack of recognition to a moment of clarity, but in an instant, it is gone.
The blessing is that she has someone who cares and who is with her. She and my dad have been married for sixty-seven and a half years, and my dad sees her twice a day. When I watch him look at her, I see the heartbreak in his eyes, but it doesn't stop him from going. That's blessing. Love transcends things, disease, heartbreak, and even death on a cross. Maybe that's part of what Jesus was talking about in the "beatitudes." Maybe we are truly blessed when we can forget about "stuff" and connect with the love we are offered both from family and friends as well as from the One who loved us enough to give his life for us. May you be blessed this day and every day as you love others.

Welcome to my new blog
I have a lot of thoughts running around in my head, most of them about food and how it impacts our health. I also have been photographing some of my food creations as I learn to prepare new foods and explore recipes. I need a place to document all my thoughts and create my own food information resource. I research and find new information all the time, this inormation becomes assimilated into "Lizzie's Health Knowledge" I feel I am learning so much I need a place to put it besides in my head, because what good is that knowledge if I can't share it? I hope you enjoy this adventure with food that I am about to share with you.

Recently in light of the conflict in Mali several articles in major US newspapers such as the New York Times and the Washington Times, have attempted to connect the "Arab Spring" of 2011 with the perceived increase in fundamentalist Islamist activity in North Africa. The argument made by these commentators is that the break down of strong governance in the region led to the ability for fundamentalist groups to organize and ethnic tensions to boil over into open conflict. This echoes earlier criticism of the various mass movements in the US media, where elites expressed wariness at the supposed influence of Islamist groups which often opposed American backed dictators and interests.
Like any major political upheaval the events of the Arab Spring have been followed by instability and uncertainty. However, the recent events in Mali and Benghazi have less to do with the Arab Spring directly, and more to do with the US response to the Arab Spring, specifically the Libyan offensive. The Obama administration's war effort in Libya was not only blatantly unconstitutional, but it also appears that the offensive is directly responsible for exacerbating ethnic tensions in Mali and leading to the arming of Islamist rebels with a large supply of sophisticated weaponry.
I don't think I'm qualified to judge whether intervention in Libya was successful in achieving a humanitarian mission in protecting Libyan civilians, but it is pretty clear that the events in Libya have had negative consequences for Mali. It also appears that these consequences were given little consideration by NATO in the aftermath of the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in October 2011. What is particularly certain, is that the our country's reaction to the Arab Spring shows a profound problem with the state of American democracy and the way we view the world.
As mentioned earlier, the decision to go to war was made unilaterally by the president and largely approved of by his supporters, who had a mere three years earlier bitterly complained about the Bush administration's willingness to violate our nations laws, make major decisions in secrecy and otherwise abuse the power of the presidency. No effort has been made in the wake of the Libyan offensive to curtail the power of the president to engage in what are clearly acts of war without the consent of the American people. Regardless of whether the Libyan offensive was a justifiable use of force, the decision to go to war should be a more carefully considered decision and should certainly not be the decided at a presidential whim.
Furthermore, the Libyan offensive outlined a major problem with how Americans view the world. The Arab Spring was often described in the media as something that happened spontaneously as a result of popular unrest. The cause of the unrest was rarely discussed, but even at the time the largest indication was that an increase in food prices caused by poor agricultural planning and water allocation was the main culprit in finally providing the pressure to oust dictators who had otherwise successfully ruled for decades. Despite this obvious cause and the solution in desperately needed infrastructure development and dealing with the rampant speculation on Wall Street which saw Egypt's food prices double as a result, the American media obsessed on the role of American media technology such as Twitter and Facebook. The American response wound up being what it has always been in the Middle East, cynical defense of American interests through handpicked dictators whenever possible and military action in the guise of higher ideals.
Attempting to stop civil wars with drone strikes only seems to spread the problem to other countries. If our wars in the last half century should have taught us anything, it is that attempting to win an asymmetrical war through air strikes only leads to our opposition thriving from the ever constant recruitment provided by the remnants of our "collateral damage". Also, what does it say about us when our "humanitarian intervention" is obviously designed to ensure that our soldiers are as far removed from combat as possible, even if it means that our intervention will be less capable of preventing the spread of violence and death of those we supposedly came to protect.
These are all questions we should ask ourselves before we decide to jump head first into another "intervention".

|Frostie Express in Shreveport, which claims to be "Still the
Best in This World." No mention of other worlds.
It may also be the case that I am incapable of divorcing the place itself from its completely insane website. Especially noteworthy is the "Girls of Frostie" page, which surely has led many a Shreveport bachelor to run, not walk, to the establishment to see the "girls" in person.
As for drinks, we get the usual suspects: Strawberry, Pina Colada, Vodka Freeze, Fuzzy Navel, White Russian. In addition, there are some surprises: The Horny Bull (a frozen Tequila Sunrise), Peach Margarita, Strawberries and Cream. I decided to not just dip my toes in the water here; I decided to take a butt-naked, flying cliff jump into the essence of the place. I opted for a large Horny Bull.
I should point out that a large drink here is 32 ozs., but "Large" isn't the largest size. There's an intimidating 44 oz. size called "The Iceberg" (see right). Now, I'm arguably the world's biggest advocate of huge, highly alcoholic frozen drinks. But I'll tell you: There's some room for debate about the ethics of selling a 44 oz. daiquiri. The phrase "vehicular homicide" comes to mind. But, I digress.
The Horny Bull tasted like bathroom cleaning chemicals. It tasted the way Joe's Bar and Grill on King's Highway used to smell. For those of you old enough to remember Joe's. The Horny Bull tastes like anonymous, cheap corn liquor and broken dreams.
To tell the truth, I saw this coming the minute I stepped foot in Frostie Express. Something told me "go basic." If I go back, I'll try something harder to screw up, a margarita or the strawberry daiquiri. But, to be honest, I'm not sure that I will be going back. When a place's product is as middle-of-the-road as this, it needs one special thing to justify its existence. This one thing can be a bartender with a great smile, a good house sound system tuned to a good Pandora station, a rad jukebox, etc. I couldn't really find that one thing here. I know for a fact that it isn't the Horny Bull.

Hello there,
I'm back again with some Valentine's Day cards with a twist - yep, you may wonder what it's all about, but I decided to make some V-day cards with a difference (different paper, different colour scheme & different images). It just so happens that I've had the 'Little Loveosaurus' stampset from My Favourite Things sitting in my drawer for quite some time, waiting for that birthday card. It's a really versatile little set and can double for V-day cards, birthday cards, or just everyday greeting cards. These are my creations:
The last card is also my entry for this week's StampTV Release Challenge #2 (sketch) over on StampTV.
I've entered all three cards into the My Favourite Things February Guest Designer Contest and you can get more info about this over at the MFT page on Split Coast Stampers.
Tools & Products for all 3 cards:
Cardstock: GinaK Design Pure Luxury White, Sweet Mango, Lemon Drop
DP: Jillibean Soup, Echo Park, Pink Paislee
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics: E000, G99, E25
Quickie glue pen, Ledah TM-10 paper trimmer, Scorpal, SpinEco permanent glue tape, Foam tape, rhinestones, ribbon
Twine: The Twinery - Charcoal & Peapod
Sun Image: GinaK 'Home Is' by Tami Mayberry
Thanks for looking & I'll see you soon!

I typically make my daughter pinwheels at her birthday. For anyone who is intrigued, I can allow you to understand how to come up with a personalized pinwheel. I'll share with you some tricks and shortcuts that you just might not locate elsewhere. So, allow us go on and study the tutorial.
Points you may need
· Wrapping paper
· Ruler
· Scissors
· Stapler
· Hot glue
· Double sided tape
· Cardboard scraps
How you can Make customized Paper Pinwheels
The moment you may have all of the factors you will need, you ought to go ahead and stick to the instruction beneath to go about producing a pinwheel.
one. For starters, you need to acquire the scissors and slice a strip of wrapping paper all around 10 inches huge. Now, use the ruler to make off a couple of folding guides. For your strip with 10 inches of width, the space involving every single folding mark should be one inch.
2. Now, when you have created 4 to 5 marks, the following detail you must do is fold the paper in accordion design and style. You will notice that the paper isn't effectively lined-up, but that is definitely great.
three. Future, you should slice on conclude with the paper at an angle in an effort to make some factors to the identical medallion. Make two much more of these by repeating the method.
4. Just after you have got produced three items of folded wrapping paper, you may be a part of them with double-sided tape. You will see that the pinwheel has began to search similar to a pinwheel.
five. In case you have read other tutorials, you may recognize that they do not explain how you can make the pinwheel hold jointly home inside the center. For this, I recommend that you choose to staple several the folds to the back of your pinwheel. It worked for me and i hope it'll be just right for you far too. You might go over up the middle portion in the medallion by way of a circle; thus, the staples will never display.
six. Now, I arrived up using this type of thought to generate a flat surface area. That is where the pinwheel will go. You could have observed that the pinwheel folds will not make for your superior surface. Anything you can perform is try out putting some masking tape within the backside, even so the tape may well slide off in the course of the celebration.
To manage this issue, you can slice a few strips of the cardboard. Now, staple the strips within the back of the pinwheel folding them above.
Then you really should place some double-sided tape and heated glue on every single. You are able to adhere a sizable cardboard piece for developing a flat surface. Upcoming, you can set a number of significant loops of masking tape and then hold over the appropriate spot around the wall. Hopefully, now, the pinwheel won't drop from the wall.
7. Last of all, you'll want to hot-glue a circle of pasteboard to develop the centre.
That is certainly it! This can be how you can easily generate a customized pinwheel. This is the bit of cake given that you keep to the instruction effectively.

The government is doing America's youth a disservice by not even allowing the mention of alternate theories of our origin. ------------------- Ga. Evolution Stickers Ordered Removed By DOUG GROSS, Associated Press Writer ATLANTA - A federal judge Thursday ordered a suburban Atlanta school system to remove stickers from its high school biology textbooks that call evolution "a theory, not a fact," saying the disclaimers are an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. "By denigrating evolution, the school board appears to be endorsing the well-known prevailing alternative theory, creationism or variations thereof, even though the sticker does not specifically reference any alternative theories," U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper said. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...u=/ap/20050113/ap_on_re_us/evolution_stickers
