10 Things: Capturing Life
1. I'm facing yet another move in a few months, right after Christmas. Back to one of our favoritest cities, so that's exciting, but I'm also tired of moving. I'm ready to be settled finally. We're still not buying a house, which is disappointing, but in God's timing we'll find the right one for us.
2. Baby-proofing is next on my to-do list. Avery is scooting, and this week has been trying to get up on her knees. That spells major trouble for all of the things I've been keeping too low. It's time to protect her little fingers and protect my breakables.
3. I miss baking. I miss the activity of the professional kitchen. I don't miss the crazy hours though. I don't know that I miss it enough to go back to it in reality. So I play around at home, experimenting with new recipes, making old favorites, whatever tempts my sweet tooth at that time.
4. I LOVE being a mom. More than anything I've ever done. This is my life's purpose. Avery brings a smile to my face everyday. She can instantly turn my grumpy mood around.
5. I'm learning how to balance my role as mom versus my role as wife. It's hard to find the right balance some days. Sometimes it's easier to focus solely on the baby. Some days it feels like we bounce Avery back and forth between us, and never find a moment to connect with each other, without Avery. But, my love for Luke has deepened even more, as I watch him grow into his role as a wonderful father to our baby girl. I love watching the two of them together.
6. I'm teaching myself Photoshop Elements. It has all of the features I need, without the hefty price tag of the full version of Photoshop. I am loving it. I feel so proud of myself when I figure something out on my own.
7. Today I'm suffering from a cold. Avery has a mini version of this cold, which I guess I caught from her. Only I have it ten times worse. And I still managed to clean the bathroom today, and get dinner on the table, and make pumpkin creme brulee for dessert, while caring for a baby.
8. I'm amazed at how quickly the housework piles up. Dishes. Laundry. Those are the only two things we manage to sort-of stay on top of. Deep cleaning doesn't happen as often. Mail piles up. Thankfully I have a super-helpful hubby.
9. Avery is sleeping through the night, and has been since about 3 months, if not sooner. And I'm talking 12 hours here. 12 HOURS!! Apart from the occasional growth spurt where she wakes up starving at 4 am for a few nights, she's consistently 7p-7a. Love. It.
10. Did I mention I love being a stay-at-home mom? Yes, I miss work sometimes. But staying home is amazing. I've never been a huge career person (those who know me will heartily agree and laugh along with me here). This time with Avery is a blessing; even though we're making some sacrifices in the material world, it's all worth it to spend my days watching her grow.

9. How do you escape on a budget?
Sonic Happy Hour! I get a HUGE drink for only $1, and I don't have to talk to anyone, since I stay in my car. Love drive-ins.
10. Best food you've ever had while on vacation.
It's a toss-up between the pizza at Lombardi's or the breakfast (french toast) at Clinton Street Baking Company (all in NYC). Yes, I vacationed there before I moved there and found these great restaurants.

Bouncy bouncy bouncy
And yes, I see the medicine in the background. Time to babyproof.
Trying something new
Saturday, September 12, 2009
I cried a little...
I had to start supplementing Avery's feedings with some formula last week. It was such a hard thing to do, but she has been a gazillion times happier since I started this. I didn't realize that her grumpy nature had been because she was hungry. I've worked hard on correcting the problem with my supply, and I've been able to cut way back on the formula, only needing it about once a day now, thank goodness.
Just because she's so cute....
New Skills
That's my girl!!

I am a firm believer that being out of doors each day is healthy and makes for a better nap time. Today was no exception! Ana came downstairs and saw Addie's snowsuit laying on the floor. Aw! That's so cute! Then she tried to put it on, but we got the suits straightened out and all of the warm gear on. It was well worth it to be outside on such a gorgeous day.
This was Addie's first experience with snow. She loved to eat it!

On Tuesday, the Dow Industrials rocketed higher by more than 282 points to close the day at 16,167. That was more than enough to wipe out all of the previous day's losses.
Interestingly, the catalysts for the move higher was optimism surrounding the earnings reports from two Dow components, 3M (NYSE: MMM) and Proctor & Gamble (NYSE: PG). Both companies reported their quarterly reports early Tuesday morning.
By the closing bell, each stock harvested gains of roughly 5% on the day. But a closer look at each company's results is very telling about the degree of fluff Wall Street will publish as authentic analysis of U.S. equity markets.
You see, 3M had the slightly better day; closing up nearly 5.2% on what Reuters called a "better-than-expected quarterly profit and backed its 2016 forecast." Complete gibberish!
3M had a disastrous quarter. The company's revenues declined by 5.45% compared to the same period a year ago. In addition, earnings declined by 12%, and the company's net margin also decreased from the year ago period. In short, 3M sucked wind.
So what made the dunderheads at Reuters so giddy?
3M cut 1,500 jobs in Q4 in an effort to save $130 million in pretax earnings for 2016! What this means is that Wall Street has lowered the bar so low that a company is no longer graded on its ability to grow revenue and earnings, but rather on its ability to reduce its tax bill by cutting jobs.
But wait, there's more…
Proctor & Gamble closed the day on Tuesday 4.9% higher on good news, too. What was the news?
P&G reported a 2% gain in "organic" sales. Sounds like some new type of beauty product, right?
Nope. It's a financial term whereby the company "strips out the effects of currency moves, acquisitions and divestments" from its quarterly reports. By implementing this accounting chicanery on shareholders, the company gives the appearance of prosperity when the reality is quite the opposite.
You see, in the real world, a company can't strip out the effects of a stronger dollar and other activity. Those are real world events, and they affect a company's bottom line in a tangible way.
But at the end of the day, Wall Street hucksters think it's easier to turn a blind eye to doctored financials than to announce that Proctor & Gamble's earnings are now forecast to fall $0.37 per share as a result of currency moves and acquisitions. By the way, the $0.37 decline in earnings is more than triple its previous forecast of $0.11 cents a share. That fact wasn't even disclosed.
But we know why. Telling the truth about a company's performance might not make a stock price jump 5% in a day. And that wouldn't be healthy for the performance bonuses for management or the pump and dump schemes of Wall Street thieves.

When we contemplated the number of populous towns so closely situated in regard to each other, some on the water, and others on the firm ground, we could not help comparing this wonderful country to the enchanted scenes we read of in Amadis de Gaul, so magnificent were the towers and temples and other superb edifices of stone and lime, which seemed everywhere to rise out of the water. Many of us were disposed to doubt the reality of the scene before us, and to suspect we were in a dream; and my readers must excuse the manner of my expressions, as never had any one seen, heard, or even dreamt of any thing which could compare to the magnificence of the scene we now beheld. On approaching Iztapalapan, we were received by several of the highest nobles of the Mexican empire, relations of Montezuma, who conducted us to the lodgings appointed for us in that place, which were magnificent palaces of stone, the timber work of which were cedar, having spacious courts and large halls, furnished with canopies of the finest cotton. After contemplating the magnificence of the buildings, we walked through splendid gardens, containing numerous alleys planted with a variety of fruit trees, and filled with roses, and a vast variety of beautiful and aromatic flowers. In these gardens there was a fine sheet of clear water, communicating with the great lake of Mexico by a canal, which was of sufficient dimensions to admit the largest canoes. The apartments of the palace were everywhere ornamented with works of art, admirably painted, and the walls were beautifully plastered and whitened; the whole being rendered delightful by containing great numbers of beautiful birds. When I beheld the delicious scenery around me, I thought we had been transported by magic to the terrestrial paradise. But this place is now destroyed, and a great deal of what was then a beautiful expanse of water, is now converted into fields of maize, and all is so entirely altered that the natives themselves would hardly know the place where Iztapalapan stood.

My first ever Bead & Button Show.
I've been involved in the beading community since 2003....nearly a decade.
I've shopped all of the local shows in the NorthEast that have outlets in the Greater Philadelphia area.
But... Bead & Button - goodness, of all beading mecca's !!
Not only is it a place for bead enthusiasts to shop, we gather, share ideas, bring exchange baggies, give lots of HUGS, and get to meet our beading friends from afar in real life (not just through a computer.) This bonds us together in ways that I can't yet describe.
So - I'm heading out to spend some time in the beading mecca.
I plan to make the Lisa Peter's Art booth my home base for the duration of the expo (shopping) days.
Joining Lisa this year is Carol Dean Sharpe !! Not only is she sharing Lisa's booth, she's generously sharing her room with me !!
This year has been so unbelievably busy, that I really didn't get to make plans too early. Carol Dean offered me a place to stay, for which I am grateful !
I'll be heading to the Meet the Teacher's night, working at the LPA for those busy times, visiting the Toho Party, having dinner with a group of beading friends that are joining in on a big bead swap, meeting with a group of other bead store owners for a fun night, lunch (hopefully) with Shelley Nybakke, dinner (hopefully) with June & Jill Wiseman on the final night, and a nice breakfast / brunch with Marcia DeCoster before relaxing the last day away & heading home.
I can't wait to see everyone & share photos !
Wait until you see what I bring back for Bead & Glass Boutique !!
Our customers will be just tickled pink at the amazing selections we'll have.
If it came from Bead & Button - it must be the best stuff on earth, right? LOL !!
See you all in Milwaukee !!
See you all in Milwaukee !!

Got the tracks finished and then attempted to put them on the hull. One went on well, the other one…..
The second track split into two parts…. I have several options here, but I think I am going to make a diorama based on the track being damaged. For now, I'm taking a break from it. With the launch of the Scale Model Podcast and my Local IPMS club show, I haven't had time on the bench in the last little while. After this weekend I'll decide if I'm going to finish this first or start on the F-18.

Gehenna (/ɡɪˈhɛnə/; from Ancient Greek: Γέεννα, Geenna from Hebrew: גיא בן הינום, Gei Ben-Hinnom; Mishnaic Hebrew: גהנום/גהנם, Gehinnam/Gehinnom) is a small valley in Jerusalem which was the common wasteyard for all the refuse of Jerusalem. Here the reeking dead bodies of animals, decaying rubbish, and even human excrement were cast and, according to legend, consumed by a constant fire.
Eventually the Hebrew term Gehinnom[1] became a figurative name for the prison for the wicked dead in Judaism, a site at the greatest possible distance from heaven. According to most Jewish sources, the period of purification or punishment is limited to only 12 months and every shabbath day is excluded from punishment.[2] After this the soul will ascend to Olam Ha-Ba, the world to come, or will be destroyed if it is severely wicked.[3]
Initially the site where followers of Ba'al sacrificed their children by fire to the god Moloch(2 Chr. 28:3, 33:6; Jer. 7:31, 19:2-6). In time it became deemed to be accursed and an image of the place of everlasting destruction in Jewish folklore.[4][5] However, Jewish folklore suggests the valley had a 'gate' which led down to a molten lake of fire (see Sheol).
Gehenna is cited in the New Testament and in early Christian writing to represent the final place where the wicked will be punished or destroyed after resurrection.
In both Rabbinical Jewish and Christian writing, Gehenna as a destination of the wicked is different from Hades, the abode of the dead, and is but loosely analogous to the concept of Hell.
English "Gehenna" represents the Greek Geena (γεεννα) found in the New Testament, which is not a Greek word, but a phonetic transcription of Aramaic Gehena (ܠܓܗܢܐ), equivalent to the Hebrew "Ge Hinnom," literally "Valley of Hinnom". This was known in the Old Testament as Gai Ben-Hinnom, literally the "Valley of the son of Hinnom", and in the Talmud as Gehinnam (גהנם) or Gehinnom. In the Qur'an, gehenna (Gehennem, Jahannam, جهنم) is a place of torment for sinners or the Islamic equivalent of hell.
The exact location of the Valley of Hinnom is disputed. Older commentaries give the location as below the southern wall of ancient Jerusalem, stretching from the foot of Mount Zion eastward past the Tyropoeon to the Kidron Valley. However the Tyropoeon Valley is usually no longer associated with the Valley of Hinnom because during the period of Ahaz and Manasseh, the Tyropoeon lay within the city walls and child sacrifice would have been practiced outside the walls of the city. Smith (1907),[6] Dalman (1930),[7] Bailey (1986)[8] and Watson (1992)[9] identify the Wadi er-Rababi, which fits the data of Joshua that Hinnom ran East to West and lay outside the city walls. According to Joshua, the valley began in En-rogel. If the modern Bir Ayyub is En-rogel then the Wadi er-Rababi which begins there is Hinnom.[10]
In the King James Version of the Bible, the term appears 13 times in 11 different verses as "valley of Hinnom," "valley of the son of Hinnom" or "valley of the children of Hinnom."
The concept of Gehenna
in the Hebrew Bible
The oldest historical reference to the valley is found in Joshua 15:8, 18:16 which describe tribal boundaries.
The next chronological reference to the valley is at the time of King Ahaz of Judah who sacrificed his sons there according to 2 Chron. 28:3. Since his legitimate son by the daughter of the High Priest Hezekiah succeeded him as king, this, if literal, is assumed to mean children by unrecorded pagan wives or concubines. The same is recorded of Ahaz' grandson Manasseh in 33:6. There remains debate about whether the phrase "cause his children to pass through the fire" meant a simple ceremony or the literal child sacrifice.
The Book of Isaiah does not mention Gehenna by name, but the "burning place" 30:33 in which the Assyrian army are to be destroyed, may be read "Topheth", and the final verse of Isaiah which concerns the corpses of the same or a similar battle, Isaiah 66:24, "where their worm does not die" is cited by Jesus in reference to Gehenna in Mark 9:48.
In the reign of Josiah a call came from Jeremiah to destroy the shrines in Topheth and to end the practice Jeremiah 7:31-32, 32:35. It is recorded that King Josiah destroyed the shrine of Molech on Topheth, to prevent anyone sacrificing children there in 2 Kings 23:10. Despite Josaiah's ending of the practice, Jeremiah also included a prophecy that Jerusalem itself would be made like Gehenna and Topheth (19:2-6, 11-14).
A final purely geographical reference is found in Neh. 11:30 to the exiles returning from Babylon camping from Beersheba to Hinnom.
in extra-Biblical Documents
There is a lack of direct references to Gehenna in the Apocrypha, Dead Sea Scrolls,Pseudepigrapha and Philo.
Josephus does not deal with this aspect of the history of the Hinnom Valley in his descriptions of Jerusalem for a Roman audience. Nor does Josephus make any mention of the tradition commonly reported in older Christian commentaries that in Roman times fires were kept burning and the valley became the garbage dump of the city, where the dead bodies of criminals, and the carcasses of animals were thrown. Source references for this tradition seem to be lacking.
The southwestern gate of Jerusalem, overlooking the valley, came to be known as "The Gate of the Valley" (Hebrew: שער הגיא).
in Rabbinical Judaism
The picture of Gehenna as the place of punishment or destruction of the wicked occurs frequently in the Mishnah in Kiddushin4.14, Avot1.5; 5.19, 20, Tosefta t.Bereshith 6.15, and Babylonian Talmud b.Rosh Hashanah 16b:7a; b.Bereshith 28b. Gehenna is considered a Purgatory-like place where the wicked go to suffer until they have atoned for their sins. It is stated that the maximum amount of time a sinner can spend in Gehenna is one year, with the exception of five people who are there for all of eternity Sanhedrin 7.
In Judaism there is general acceptance of the historical veracity of the accounts of child sacrifice. Biblical commentator Rashi explains that priests would bang on drums (Hebrew: tof, tupim) (Hebrew: תופים) so fathers would not hear the groans of children being sacrificed. Hence the name Topheth.
in the New Testament
In the synoptic gospels Jesus uses the word Gehenna 11 times to describe the opposite to life in the promised, coming Kingdom (Mark 9:43-48).[11] It is a place where both soul and body could be destroyed (Matthew 10:28) in "unquenchable fire" (Mark 9:43).
Gehenna is also mentioned in the Epistle of James 3:6, where it is said to set the tongue on fire, and the tongue in turn sets on fire the entire "course" or "wheel" of life.
The complete list of references is as follows:
- Matt.5:22 whoever calls someone "you fool" will be liable to Gehenna.
- Matt.5:29 better to lose one of your members than that your whole body go into Gehenna.
- Matt.5:30 better to lose one of your members than that your whole body go into Gehenna.
- Matt.10:28 rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
- Matt.18:9 better to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna.
- Matt.23:15 Pharisees make a convert twice as much a child of Gehenna as themselves.
- Matt.23:33 to Pharisees: you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to Gehenna?
- Mark 9:43 better to enter life with one hand than with two hands to go to Gehenna.
- Mark 9:45 better to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.
- Mark 9:47 better to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna
- Luke 12:5 Fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into Gehenna
- James 3:6 the tongue is set on fire by Gehenna.
Translations in Christian Bibles
The New Testament also refers to Hades as a destination of the dead. Hades is portrayed as a different place from Gehenna. The Book of Revelation describes Hades being cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:14). Although the idea of casting a place into itself doesn't actually make much sense, some Christians today interpret Hades as meaning the same thing as Gehenna. The King James Version of the bible is the only English translation in modern use to translate Sheol, Hades, and Gehenna as Hell. The New International Version, New Living Translation, New American Standard Bible (among others) all reserve the term hell only for when Gehenna is used.
Treatment of Gehenna in Christianity is significantly affected by whether the distinction in Hebrew and Greek between Gehenna and Hades was maintained:
Translations with a distinction:
- The New International Version, New Living Translation, New American Standard Bible, and basically every English translation except the King James in modern use, all reserve the term Hell only for when Gehenna is used. All translate Sheol and Hades in a different fashion.
- The Arabic Van Dyke distinguishes Gehenna from Sheol.
- In texts in Greek, and consistently in the Orthodox Church, the distinctions present in the originals were often maintained. The Russian Synodal Bible (and one translation by the Old Church Slavonic)also maintain the distinction.
Translations without a distinction:
- The Latin Vulgate does not distinguish between Gehenna and Sheol/Hades rendering both as inferno, but also predates the concept of Purgatory
- The Old English of Ælfric and then the English of Wycliffe render Latin inferno as Hell. Tyndale and later translators had access to the Greek, but Tyndale translated both Gehenna and Hades as same English word, Hell.
- The King James Version of the bible is the only English translation in modern use to translate Sheol, Hades, and Gehenna as Hell.
Many modern Christians understand Gehenna to be a place of eternal punishment called hell.[12]
On the other hand, annihilationists understand Gehenna to be a place where sinners are utterly destroyed, not tormented forever. Christian Universalists, who believe that God will eventually save all souls, interpret the New Testament references to Gehenna in the context of the Old Testament and conclude that it always refers to the imminent divine judgment of Israel and not to eternal torment for the unsaved.
The Valley of Hinnom is also the traditional location of the Potter's Field bought by priests after Judas' suicide with the "blood money" with which Judas was paid for betraying Jesus.
in Islam
The name given to Hell in Islam, Jahannam, directly correlates with Gehenna as well. The Quran contains 76 or 77 references to Gehenna (جهنم), but no references to Hades (هيدز).

Let the Spy Wars Begin: A Renewed Cold War for a Digital Age?
Let the Spy Wars Begin
Updated | No doubt Vladimir Putin was making his list and checking it twice well before President Barack Obama picked 35 suspected Russian spies to boot from the United States. The Russian strongman, a career Soviet KGB operative during the Cold War, had been expected to respond in kind with his own list of expulsions but declined to do so Friday, preferring to wait for Donald Trump to take office.
In some ways, it's just like old times, when the Kremlin and Washington regularly engaged in tit-for-tat expulsions of a spy or two. But in other ways, it's not: this spy war long ago moved out of the shadows to entangle the U.S. presidential elections. And it's been accompanied by months of public acrimony. That's entirely new. Not even the FBI's arrest of 10 Russian spies in 2011 was accompanied by such high-level verbal jousting.
RELATED: The Russian hacking whodunnit
In a statement Thursday, Obama repeated what he has said several times recently: "These data theft and disclosure activities could only have been directed by the highest levels of the Russian government." But President-elect Donald Trump has downplayed or outright dismissed evidence of Russian interference, saying the hacks "could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds." Asked Wednesday night about Obama's long-awaited response to Russian hacking and fake-news assaults, Trump said, "I think we ought to get on with our lives." Trump said much the same Thursday afternoon, but added he would meet "next week" with intelligence officials "to be updated on the facts of the situation." Prior intelligence briefings have evidently failed to persuade him that the Russians are responsible for the hacks.
The Kremlin, which has called such allegations "groundless," despite a body of forensic evidence tying Russian hackers to penetrations of the Democratic National Committee, dismissed Obama's actions Thursday as "a manifestation of an unpredictable and even aggressive foreign policy." It said there was "no need to rush" with countermeasures against Washington, especially since under the Trump administration, "such clumsy actions" will be a thing of the past.
Putin's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, had proposed a response that included expelling 35 U.S. diplomats and banning staff from two facilities in Moscow, but Putin decided against the move Friday. "We will not expel anyone," Putin said in a statement.
Obama had telegraphed his punches for weeks, vowing that Russia would pay a price for covertly tilting the U.S. election in favor of Trump by stealing and disseminating information embarrassing to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. The Russians hacked the Republican National Committee, and perhaps Trump's email accounts as well, U.S. intelligence concluded, but held onto embarrassing files that might have hurt his election chances.
Such overt, bold interference in U.S. elections is unprecedented. So is the number of suspected spies expelled in one big scoop. Still, intelligence sources complain, the administration's response to months of Kremlin interference in the U.S. elections is too little, too late, and leaves resolution of the issue in the hands of the Russia-friendly Trump administration.
"Anybody can do it walking out the door," groused a top former FBI official who says he repeatedly warned the White House about Russian penetrations for years.
Compounds Closed, Diplomats Ordered Out
On Thursday, the State Department ordered 35 Russian diplomats from the Russian Embassy in Washington and the Russian Consulate in San Francisco to leave the U.S. within 72 hours. It also notified Russia that, starting Friday, it would be denied access to two of its government-owned compounds—one in Maryland and one in New York—according to the Wall Street Journal.
Obama also imposed sanctions on Russia's two leading intelligence agencies, the Federal Security Service and the Main Intelligence Directorate, as well as "four top officers" of the GRU, the military intelligence unit that "the White House believes ordered the attacks on the Democratic National Committee and other political organizations," according to the New York Times. Sanctions also targeted hackers already on the FBI's most-wanted list.
The Obama administration is also planning to release a detailed "joint analytic report" from the FBI and Homeland Security Department "that is clearly based in part on intelligence gathered by the National Security Agency," reported David Sanger, the New York Times 's resident hacking expert. Administration officials say internal discussions are proceeding on whether to reveal detailed proof on the involvement of the Kremlin, and Putin himself, in the hacking attacks and waves of phony news stories that undermined Americans' faith in mainstream U.S. media organizations. Such revelations could help Russian counterspies uncover CIA assets and NSA penetrations of Moscow's cyber apparatus.
The administration's announcements won quick approval from key Democrats. Rep. Adam Schiff of California, ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said they "begin the important process of holding Moscow accountable for its blatant meddling in our democracy and for harassing our diplomatic personnel." Democrat Mark Warner of Virginia, his counterpart on the Senate Intelligence Committee, likewise called Obama's orders "an important step," adding that "preventing Russia from interfering in our elections will require a sustained response from the next administration and from Congress."
But the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee complained that Obama had waited too long to respond to "Russia's worldwide aggression, including its cyber-hacking operations. "Now, with just a few weeks left in office," Rep. Devin Nunes of California said in a statement, "the President has suddenly decided that some stronger measures are indeed warranted."
Too Little Too Late?
That caustic sentiment won agreement from some former CIA officials and intelligence experts, most of whom spoke only on condition of anonymity to discuss such sensitive issues.
"The current retaliation strikes me as timorous and feckless," a former CIA officer with long experience battling the Russians tells Newsweek. "They have hacked the shit out of us. So now all we are doing is kicking out spies?"
"Spy expulsions always hurt us more," he added, "because the Russians always had more spooks in New York, Washington and San Francisco then we had in Moscow." The Russians have about 100 intelligence operatives in the U.S., Joseph Fitsanakis, co-editor of the influential Intelnews web site, says, "so the expulsion of a third of those operatives will [only] temporarily set back Russian intelligence operations on U.S. soil."
A former high ranking FBI official called Obama's actions against Moscow, "a little too late." He and other officials briefed White House officials eight years ago on Russian cyberattacks and urged a strong retaliatory response, he said on condition of anonymity, but "they stuck their heads in the sand, wishing it would go away...Now they...leave it to the next administration to handle." He called the delayed White House response "disgusting."
What's called for now is a far stronger response, the former CIA officer said: "Shut down the Petersburg-Moscow high-speed train for two nights and see what they do."
Obama administration officials worry that such actions would trigger an all-out cyberwar with unpredictable and possibly ruinous, outcomes. But they have hinted in recent days that stronger, secret measures may be in the offing.
"Some of it, we will do publicly," Obama said in his December 16 news conference . "Some of it we will do in a way that they know, but not everybody will."
This article was updated to include further information on Russia's response to U.S. sanctions.

The average income of a Premiership referee is 70,000 pounds or $110,152 annually, as of 2014, notes TSM Plug. The English Premier League is the world's largest sporting league and has about 18 referees officiating yearly. The referee's salary depends on how many games are worked and the basic salary plus match fees.
The referees for the English Premier League make yearly what a Premier League football (soccer) player makes in just 2 weeks. The average salary is about 38,000 pounds or around $60,000, with the remainder of funds coming from match fees, amounting to approximately $1,500 per game, states TSM Plug. Retainer fees can be higher depending on the referee's experience.

Seven Questions For Matt Goss
The Strip headliner on his refreshed show, his songwriting process and his community relationships
The Strip headliner on his refreshed show, his songwriting process and his community relationships
Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, and their backing band, owned the stage.
Age has only seemed to improve Willie's performance. His thin, haggard appearance adds even more authenticity to his outlaw country style.
Book & Stage was the coolest place to be, offering a new twist on the Old Vegas lounge singer tradition: Up-and-coming indie bands played twice a night for multiday mini residencies … for free.
Holly Madison is one of our own now. No matter your opinion of her, the former reality star, "Playboy" bunny and "Peepshow" ingénue is as Vegas as they come. So now that she's written a memoir, attention must be paid.
In early April, Strip headliner Penn Jillette revealed to the world that he'd lost 105 pounds. In photos, he appeared gaunt and happy. The illusionist who was once all face was now suddenly all features (with some extra neck skin).
Here was a 25-year-old long-limbed beauty at the height of her pop star powers: dancing, posing, singing, connecting with the audience in a constant rotation of fabulous and skimpy costumes.
Imagine Dragons played the inaugural Life Is Beautiful in 2013, performing near the Downtown venues where the alt-rockers got their start. Growing right along with their hometown music, arts and cultural festival, the band has been tabbed to return for the third iteration of Life Is Beautiful, this time as headliners.
As Rock in Rio descends upon the Strip, Las Vegas becomes the City of Rock. Here's what to expect.
You've bought a ticket and applied sunscreen, but where are you going to leave your car? Unfortunately, unless you're staying at one of the nearby hotels, there isn't a free or convenient option.
Rock in Rio's weekends are divided into opposing teams: the "Rock Weekend" (May 8-9) and the "Pop Weekend" (May 15-16). So how do you choose a weekend?
he Marvel Universe has dominated movie box offices for years now. And on April 23-26, 25 of the franchise's favorites will descend upon the Thomas & Mack Center.
In a slightly altered universe, Stromae would be a Las Vegas star. The Belgian singer-songwriter-rapper is a showman in the old tradition, but one who incorporates the sounds and topics of today.
Belgian singer-songwriter-rapper Stromae has found international success with catchy yet smart songs that tap into the zeitgeist. But when the French-speaking 30-year-old plays the Cosmopolitan's Boulevard Pool on April 16, will his language be a barrier?
Fame has not yet caught up with this Irish singer-songwriter. Sure, he has a Grammy nomination and he was playing to a sold-out audience, but the 25-year-old was so enthusiastic and gracious during his first Las Vegas show that he seemed like he'd just won the lottery.

Amoy Street Food Centre is a great place to grab lunch if you work nearby in the CBD area. It is a two-storey food centre that has every kind of local food imaginable.
If you do a search on what's recommended here, the Char Kway Teow is bound to turn up in the results. char koay teow
Char Kway Teow, or Fried Kway Teow is a flat rice noodle dish fried with eggs, tau geh (beansprouts), see-hum (cockles) and lup cheong (Chinese sausage).
This particular Fried Kway Teow stall at Amoy Street Food Centre serves one of the better ones around. Well, not out of this world good but good enough.
Afterall, uncle has been frying kway teow for the last 50 odd years when he first operated from a push cart at Boon Tat Street in the 1960s. If his kway teow is not good, his business could not have lasted till now.
I ordered the basic $3 plate which came with a lot of crunchy taugeh (beansprouts).
I took a deep breathe and the aroma is simply irresistible!
The kway teow is both savory and sweet (without being too sweet with the kecap manis).
As for the texture, it is firm and not mushy. Some people like their kway teow dry while some like it wetter. I find the kway teow moist but not too wet.
The see-hum were also fresh and plentiful; I have lost count how many there were but it's a joy biting into them and feel the juicy shellfish bursting in my mouth.
At the end of the meal, I did not have that greasy feeling or jelat-ness at all.
The stall is not hard to find with its colorful signboard bearing the generic name "炒果条" right on the first floor at the entrance of the food centre.
Give it a try and you will not be disappointed!
The Verdict?

While Bruce takes care of the wounded, the other party members cautiously advance down the hill, past the SS garrison building and past the main garrison into the courtyard containing the building occupied by the Kommandant. Although most of the vehicles at the castle were rendered undriveable as a result of the battle, there are a couple of Sd. Kfz 215/1's and a couple of staff cars parked in the area that managed to survive intact.
As they are surveying the vehicles, a very sheepish looking Father Cerny emerges from the stairway leading down to the Well Tower.
"I … I …" he stutters.
Taffy is in no mood for hearing the Father's excuses or apologies, however. He simply takes down the cleric with a quick burst of fire.
None of the others admonish him. Luckily Bruce is still seeing to the injured. With the coast now clear, the party members return to the Great Keep and start to escort the townspeople down to the vehicles. They decide to take two of the half-tracks, just in case they face any more opposition on the way.
The townspeople are ushered into the back of the vehicles while Vaclav takes the driver's seat of the first vehicle and Terry the second. Lodd mans the MG42 of the lead vehicle, while Bob takes the second. Piotr and the Padre ride shotgun in the two cabs.
Once everyone is onboard, Vaclav leads the small convoy through the main gate and down the steep track that leads down to the village. Those manning the MG's and riding shotgun keep their eyes peeled for any sign of a German counterattack or ambush as they depart from the area of Karlstein and head into the countryside.
It is fortunate that Vaclav knows the area like the back of his hand and also that they took the two half-tracks rather then the Opel Blitz truck as Vaclav leaves the road and starts to go cross-country in order to avoid the large village of Grossmorchin that stand between Karlstein and their quarry hideout. The passengers are rattled around as the twin half-tracks bounce up and down on plowed fields and crash through bushes as they by-pass the village and cross over several tracks leading to it. After twenty minutes, Vaclav crashes through a line of bushes and Terry brings his Sd. Kfz. up next to it.
"This is as close to the quarry as I dare get," Vaclav says. "We'll have to make the last 500 metres on foot. Any closer and it will be too easy for the Germans to figure out where we went."
All disembark and then assist the still-terrified villagers and children traverse the rough ground in the pitch darkness as they make their way towards the quarry.
They find the two members of the mortar team waiting for them at the entrance to the quarry and they assist the party members in helping to get the remaining villagers and children down into the safety of the cave network. It is a little after midnight by the time that all are safely inside.
Once the adrenalin has worn off, the surviving resistance members and villagers seem to be in a stunned silence, the euphoria of having been rescued and survived nullified by the horrors that they have witnessed and the heavy casualties that both the resistance members and the villagers themselves incurred during the rescue mission.
One by one, the party members succumb to their tiredness, as do the villagers. Bruce stays up late through the night, however, attending to the injured and comforting the most traumatized in his slow, relaxing drawl.

Hi guys! How was the weekend? Too short eh? But we still gotta do what we gotta do, right? So during the weekend, I realized I didn't have any story in my head for today's Monday humor post. How is that even possible? My life is one series of funny events!(Not always funny to me though) But alas, I was blank. Not for long though. I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of the harmattan winds howling fiercely and rattling the windows in the house. Brrrr! Terrible stuff! As I was about diving back into the blankets I had a flash back to another harmattan, exactly eleven months ago……
I was a youth corps member serving in a rural part of Benue state at the time. I'd been there for a couple of months and felt I had acclimatized. Until the harmattan came upon us. One would think I wouldn't be too bothered; I after all went to uni in Nsukka, which is known for its phenomenal harmattan cold and accompanying "fog". I learnt the hard way that compared to the harmattan in Benue, that of Nsukka was still "learning work". Keep a slice of bread on the table and blink, and you would be left with a slab of concrete. It was so dry, your spit could dry up before it hit the ground. I kid, I kid. But it was indeed terrible. The dryness was unbelieveable! And the cold? God knows why he made me a Nigerian oh, because if winter is said to be worse than the harmattan which we complain of, then I can only wonder what winter is like. Everyone went about wearing sweaters and socks and I am sure every Sunday in church during that period, we must have had more than a few people with unwashed bodies; all for the fear of harmattan's bite.
But then I digress. In my LGA of Benue state, we had no bank. Unbelievable right? I know, I know. Even I don't know how I survived without a bank around for almost a year. So in my LGA( Ugba town in Logo LGA), the corps members and anyone else who needed to use a bank would have to "travel" to the next LGA(Ukum LGA) to use the ATM machine. We usually did this once or twice a month to reduce the stress of moving around unnecessarily. Sometimes you could have company, especially if it was market day (which coincided with our CDS day)but other times everyone would be forming broke and beg you to help them withdraw. One could leave for Zaki-Biam town in Ukum with as much as 6 atm cards!
So on this day, I really had to withdraw some cash as I had run out. No one wanted to go with me and so I had to do my thing solo. I didn't want to go because the cold and dust was on another level that day. I took one look at the okada riders and my liver fail me. They looked like they had been rolled in sand over and over again. I chalked it up to the fact that they must have plied the Ugba-Zaki Biam route many times and I felt pity for them. Imagine having to breathe all this dust to make a living. This harmattan is not nice. But yours truly took just one look at her wallet and knew she was playing. I HAD to go. So I took a deep breath and walked to the taxi park. No taxis. Ewo. It had finally come to this. I had to take a motorcycle. So I said warraheck and got on one. As we went along, the wind played with my hair and I began to compose a poem in my mind. crazy much? Even though it was cold, I was well protected by my sweater and so got lost in wonder as I looked at the once green countryside that had now gone totally brown.
In no time I had arrived my destination so I jumped down and dusted myself hastily. I got to the ATM machine and found people gathered round it speaking Tiv rapidly. Even though they all looked at me weirdly, I gathered that the machine had given up few minutes ago. I quietly slinked into the banking hall before it would occur to them to crowd the hall in order to try withdrawing over the counter. In the bank, I got talking with the customer service guy and I was surprised he was smiling so openly while speaking to me. That was unusual of him. He was always business-like every time I came there. I shrugged it away and proceeded to collect my cash. While in line though, I had noticed that the people around were looking at me strangely, but I decided to ignore them. It isn't unusual to be stared at as a corps member in a rural area, especially when in uniform, which I was. So I shrugged it off, took my money and left. As I entered the security doors while exiting the bank, I thought I heard someone make a statement in Tiv and everyone laughed while looking in my direction, but I couldn't be sure it was me they were laughing at, so I smiled too and left.
Another bike ride later, I was home. whew! Thank God that was over. I entered the house, and found my roommate asleep. While taking off my sweater, I saw a reflection of myself in the mirror. And I screamed!!! I looked like this:
90s chick; nerd, humanitarian; lover of life, family, fashion, food, art and literature; Christian by birth and choice. In short, I'm like jollof rice: you're gonna love me. 😉

'Truth Is First Casualty of War': GOP Rep. Skeptical Assad Carried Out Gas Attack
A Republican congressman is skeptical of the Trump administration's conclusion that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad carried out a chemical attack against his own people.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) told Tucker Carlson that he remains unconvinced that Assad was behind the attack, calling on the White House to put forth more evidence.
"Truth is the first casualty of war," he said, adding that the U.S., Russia and Syria will all have their own versions of what happened.
"And then there's gonna be the truth in there. We haven't been provided the details," he added.
Earlier this week, Defense Secretary James Mattis said "there is no doubt" that Assad's regime is responsible for the chemical attack.
"I have personally reviewed the intelligence and there is no doubt the Syrian regime is responsible for the decision to attack and for the attack itself," he said.
In recent days, Assad and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov have claimed the attack was staged by the U.S. as pretext for last week's missile attack.
Massie recalled that in 2013, the Obama administration claimed Assad used chemical weapons against civilians, but did not present a compelling case to Congress.
"When they gave [Congress] classified briefings ... they were not able to compel us to believe with sufficient evidence that Assad did it and we should get involved," said Massie.
Carlson asked Massie whether he was claiming Syria and Russia have "equal believability" as the United States government.
Massie said he was not making that claim, but claimed the U.S. government has "no interest in finding evidence contrary to the popular notion" that Assad carried out the attack.

Meet 10 Types Of Nigerian Wife You Will Ever Meet
- 20/03/2017 00:29:00

- 0
Nigerian women are very beautiful, resourceful as well as energetic. Many of them are men pleasers and they would go to every length to please their men, even if it will cost them their lives. Well, do I blame them? Of course I don't. Most of us have been exposed to sexism with our parents playing a big role. Boys are the special specie while the girl-child is an afterthought. The male child is raised to be superior and the girl to be submissive.

David Long: "Re: Bioweapons & the Soviet Lie"
(AP) Police are hot on the trail of felons who have run rampant in this
town for years: scofflaw library patrons. Burlington's May Memorial
Library asked city police to arrest more than 60 people and charge them
with a felony for failing to return borrowed library materials. At least
35 have been arrested so far, including six juveniles. The case load is
so heavy that the lead investigator has had to work on his days off. The
district attorney has said he will prosecute. "Legally, a person could
face five to six months' active time in jail," said police Maj. Randy
Jones. "They could have more time if they have prior convictions. And
it's conceivable juveniles could do time in a detention center. But
that's not likely." Defendants also face court costs starting at $80,
not to mention the hassle of being fingerprinted and photographed for a
mug shot. Some people arrested this month had to post a $500 bond.
Police are arresting the wayward borrowers using a state law that makes
it a crime to steal, deface or devalue library books, rare coins,
manuscripts and pieces of art. Alamance County library director Margaret
Blanchard said $102,860 worth of materials was missing last November.
Since the crackdown started, the amount is down to less than $50,000.
"Yeah, we do have better things to do," Jones said. "I'd rather chase a
dope dealer than somebody who doesn't return a library book. But it's
still $100,000. I wouldn't look over anyone with this kind of loss."

Word Nerd
I first made these earrings a long time ago and just brought them back to my shop. I think I need a pair that says "Paper Nerd" too because I'm that. And a Book Nerd.
I suppose I could just wear my Nerd earrings and people will figure that covers just about everything.
In other news, my fast this past weekend went well. For those of you who don't know, I am Mormon (LDS). On the first Sunday of the month, members (who are able) are supposed to go without food and drink for 24 hours and donate the cost of those meals as a fast offering which goes to support the poor and needy. We also fast at times when we need extra help or assistance. Because of the problem I have with my husband's situation I decided that I needed extra help.
So I fasted. My sister fasted with me. Solidarity. And my fast went well. I hardly bothered about the hunger. I kept prayers in my heart so much of the time. I don't know what, if anything, will come of it, but I know that I did well before my Heavenly Father.
And, after five years of being wussy about fasting, it's about time.

Afghanistan: IS capture major Taliban stronghold
June 16, Kabul: The IS on Thursday allegedly captured a giant cave stronghold the Tora Bora from the Taliban.
The cave which was Osama bin Laden's hideout back in the early 2000s still has strategic importance according to reports, which also stated that an audio message broadcast on the jihadists' Radio Khilafat claimed that the battle was over.
Meanwhile, The Associated Press reported that IS had launched an assault on Tora Bora late on Tuesday night, and according to Attahullah Khogyani, a provincial official in Nangarhar Skirmishes with the Taliban and local villagers continued into the day, and the terrorist group had seized the vicinity around the mountain stronghold by Wednesday.
"I can confirm that the IS fighters occupied some areas around Tora Bora, but not Tora Bora itself," said Khogyani. There has been no statement from the American command or the Kabul government so far.

One of the many ways that Mandela exercised great wisdom is in the establishment of what became known as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa. As that nation was changing power from non-democratically-elected oppressive minority rule to a truer form of democracy and equal opportunity for all of its people, Mandela recognized that achieving a peaceful and mature society necessitates much more than merely removing legal barriers to justice.
He showed the world that the hard work of authentic reconciliation could not be realized without first dealing with some ugly and painful truths about how that society got to such a state of oppression and how it was perpetuated. His life also gave testimony to the fact that truth telling needs to be inclined towards a loving reconciliation, not merely revenge. One wonders of the progress that the United States could have made if our Civil Rights movement had been allowed to lead to a similar degree of truth and reconciliation.
Although Mandela's application of these principles are largely known in that political setting, every Christian is lovingly compelled by God's Word to deal with a more ultimate manifestation of those principles. In my life, I have to understand that I was lovingly created in God's image and after His likeness. When He made me, He said, "Very good." However, I have a nature that is inclined towards rebellion against God, and without His intervention that rebellion will lead to eternal separation from God. Thankfully, God loves me so much that He gave and sacrificed His only Son so that I can experience loving fellowship with Him now and forever. Thats the ultimate truth which leads to the ultimate reconciliation. That's the Good News for every child of God! That's the Gospel that we must share with this dying world!

Technical provisions: periods of account beginning on or after 1 January 2000 and ending before 19 July 2007: General Insurance Reserves (Tax) Regulations: interest rate
Regulation 3: Rule 9: interest rate
Rule 8 (or if applicable, Rule 8A) gave the result to which an interest calculation was applied to find the additional receipt or expense to be included in taxable profits. This was intended to restore the Exchequer to the position it would have been in had tax been paid on the basis of discounted best estimates in the earlier period, and to compensate the Exchequer or the taxpayer for the delay in receiving tax or a repayment. Rule 9 defined the interest calculation. The interest rate was the rate charged on late payments of corporation tax. This rate was applied on a compound basis. The interest period ran from the CT due and payable date for the earlier period until the due and payable date for the later period. The result of the interest calculation was reduced by reference to the corporation tax mainstream rate (apportioned between financial years if the rate changed), so the additional receipt or expense would at current rates be 70% of the interest calculation. This was to reflect the fact that interest paid or received would normally be taken into account as a deduction or as income in the calculation of taxable profits. As for discount rates, the interest factors relevant for companies with periods of account that end on 31 December were published.
The interest rate was specified as that used in regulation 3ZA(1) of the Taxes (Interest Rate) Regulations 1989. This is the average of the rate applied to quarterly instalments under CTSA, calculated from the due and payable date of the earlier period of account to the due and payable date for the later period of account. The due and payable date is taken as the date nine months after the end of each period, as it would be for companies which do not pay corporation tax in quarterly instalments.
The following figures are rounded to the nearest two decimal places. There was no requirement to do this and calculations based on the full number of decimal places were acceptable.
The interest rates for periods of account ending 31 December are:
|period ending 31 December 2001
|period ending 31 December 2002
|period ending 31 December 2003
|period ending 31 December 2004
|period ending 31 December 2005
