Intertribal Court of Southern California Intertribal Court of Southern California
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
The overall mission of the ICSC is to provide members of the Native American community and their participating tribes with a cultural sensitive Judicial Forum in which to present and resolve disputes.
The ICSC is an Intertribal Court System, which works on a "circuit court" format whereby a Judge travels from one Reservation to the next presiding over assigned cases. Rulings are based on tribal laws, ordinances, customs and historical precedent. The ICSC provides court administration, court clerks, bailiffs, and case management. Tribal Court hearings are held at their respective Tribes' Reservations.
In addition to providing Tribes and Tribal Members with a full range of court services, the Court also provides a free Lawyer Referral Service, a court sponsored Alternative Dispute Resolution, including Arbitration and Mediation, Federal Indian Law 101, and the Southern California Tribal Bar Association; while simultaneously, establishing a centralized location where federal, state, county, local and tribal governments can collaborate and coordinate legal, judicial, and governmental services for the Southern California people and communities.
The overall purpose of the Intertribal Court of Southern California as it presently exists is focused on the fundamental principle of providing members of participating Tribes with a culturlly sensitive Judicial Forum in which to present and resolve disputes. The ICSC is an Intertribal Court System that works on a "circuit type" basis, where tribal judges travel from one reservation to the next presiding over cases based on specific Tribes' law,s ordinances, customs, and history. The ICSC provides members Tribes and Tribal Members with Judges, Court Administration, Court Clerks, Bailiffs, and case management.
The ISCS is an "independent judiciary" within Indian Country. Its purpose is to preserver the integrity, autonomy and sovereignty, of the Native American communities it serves in a culturally sensitive and traditionally aware environment.
Tribes are in period of rapidly changing political times and economic growth. Tribal Councils are being called upon to do more than ever. While they have essentially served in part as quasi-judicial bodies, growth and pursuit of equality demand they enhance both rights of the People within Indian Country and provide them with an unbiased and independent method of disputes resolutions.
By signing the Intertribal Governing Agreement (IGA) and passing a tribal resolution, Tribes utilize the ICSC system and its related services. Under the IGA, the ICSC is governed by an independently appointed Tribal Judicial Council whose members are appointed by participating Tribes. Each Tribe elects their own Council Member. Judicial Council responsibilities include reviewing budgets, hiring staff, entering into MOAs, and policy review.

It's arguably one of the saddest realities associated with Natural Disasters. First something horrifying tears through everyday life and leaves people stranded, to which we all respond in good nature and empathy, offering to help clean up and donate money to various causes. Then, a measly few months after the fact, disaster has been erased from our memory and we've moved on to the next fixation. The Gulf of Mexico is still recovering from the BP Oil spill. Tornadoes that have ransacked the south and Midwest still leave scars throughout communities. And, even closer to home, the wreckage from Hurricane Sandy still looms in some of the most populated areas in the US. What is involved in the process to clean up and return to normal from natural disasters like Sandy, past simply donating a dollar to the Red Cross?
Getting any place back to normal after a crippling disaster takes time, effort and millions of dollars. Though the response to Haiti's 2010 earthquake shocked the world with its magnitude, the restoration is still happening nearly three years later. The Sandy cleanup effort has been called "military" by New York Times writer Eric Lipton, but one wonders just how long crews will be in restoring The Rockaways."

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after exposure to a traumatic event.[1] Many individuals with PTSD repeatedly re-experience the ordeal as flashback episodes, memories, nightmares, or frightening thoughts, especially when exposed to events that remind them of the trauma. Other symptoms of PTSD include persistent avoidance of stimuli, negative alterations in cognitions and mood, and marked alterations in arousal and reactivity all associated with the traumatic event.[2] PTSD is often comorbid with and shares symptoms common to other conditions, such as substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, chronic health conditions, and sleep difficulties.
Symptoms usually develop following a traumatic event, though "delayed expression" PTSD can occur where full diagnosis is not met until at least six months after the trauma.[3] In DoD, eight to 20 percent of the more than 2.6 million service members who deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn have or may develop symptoms of PTSD.*** [4] PTSD is treatable and many service members recover with appropriate treatment.
*** These numbers vary widely depending on sampling procedures.

Ethnic Heritage Ensemble
Ars Nova Workshop welcomes the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble to Philadelphia in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the legendary cult film Love Jones, in which El'Zabar and Avery both appeared.
Kahil El'Zabar led the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble's first performance at Child City Arts Center in Chicago in 1973, one year after he had returned from his studies at the University of Ghana. His goal was to combine concepts of African American music making with the earlier roots of traditional African music to produce something new. In his own words: "The spirit of one's approach comes first before the technical. All the facility in the world with nothing that comes from the heart doesn't make good music. The basis of the strength of any artistic evolution has come from ethnicity."
After 40 years, this legendary band is still serving the people worldwide with their special brand of 21st century Griot music. The trio's latest incarnation features the remarkable trumpeter Corey Wilkes, a member of the legendary Art Ensemble of Chicago who has also worked with a wide range of artists including Wynton Marsalis, Clark Terry and Kurt Elling, and versatile saxophonist Alex Harding, who has been a fixture on the New York jazz seen since 1993, performing touring and recording with the Julius Hemphill Saxophone Sextet, Aretha Franklin, David Lee Roth, Muhal Richard Abrams, Abdullah Ibrahim and the Tony award-winning Broadway show Fela!
Together, the trio's "harmonically provocative and rhythmically seductive" (Chicago Tribune) performances impart an ancestral wisdom that conjures an energy rarely encountered in contemporary music.
El'Zabar is one of Chicago's jazz treasures. A member of the AACM, El'Zabar has performed alongside numerous jazz greats and was a member of the bands of Stevie Wonder, Cannonball Adderley, Dizzy Gillespie and Nina Simone.
Ars Nova Workshop is a Philadelphia nonprofit jazz and experimental music presenting organization. ANW informs, inspires, and challenges listeners to elevate the role of jazz, improvisation, and experimental music in contemporary culture. ANW events provide a forum for discourse, emergent trends in contemporary music, and unique forms of cultural exchange, while nurturing a diverse community for innovative music.

Coconut production up but farmers struggling to find regular market — CIB
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Coconut Industry Board (CIB) says there has been a substantial increase in the production of coconuts in the island over the past 18 months.
In a statement yesterday, the CIB said whereas it is relieved that its efforts to increase production have borne fruit, several hundred coconut farmers are now struggling to find a regular and consistent market for their coconuts.
Chairman of the CIB, Christopher Gentles, noted that the sector has rebounded from the shortage caused by the record droughts of 2014 and 2015 and is now in a position of strength.
"The weather has been exceptional and several coconut farmers have been experiencing a bumper crop. However, the cooler temperatures have also reduced the demand for jelly coconuts and have negatively impacted the sales of our Coconut Shop," said Gentles.
General Manager of the CIB, Yvonne Burns, stated that coconut production for 2017 has improved significantly due mainly to improved weather conditions and a distribution of over $10 million worth of fertilisers to coconut farmers over the past 24 months.
She also noted that over the past ten years the CIB has distributed 657,128 coconut seedlings to farmers for the establishment of approximately 7000 acres of coconuts, some of which are now contributing to the current supply.
As a result of this, the CIB said it is planning to increase its capacity to process jelly coconuts and if the plans of its Strategic Business and Capital Expenditure Plan are successfully implemented, it will be investing in a facility to produce virgin coconut oil.
The board added that several coconut farmers are hopeful that the coconut oil processing facility will be established as soon as possible, given the substantial increase in the supply of coconuts.

I am a huge superhero fan. I love all of them. Superhero movies are my some of my favorite movies. So when I heard about Guardians of the Galaxy I was really excited to see it. We weren't able to see it in the theaters so I hurried and picked it up on Tuesday (12/9) so we could #OwntheGalaxy and have a fun family movie night. I knew that my older boys would absolutely love it but I wanted to do a fun little activity that they could do during the movie (sometimes my kids don't have the best attention span). So we picked up the Guardians of the Galaxy LEGO set and decided that it would be fun to make a fun video of the movie with the LEGOS. It actually was a huge hit and the kids had a lot of fun and it was just so much fun spending time together.
I headed to Walmart to get the movie and the toys. Luckily I went on Tuesday when it first came out on DVD because the next day, the display was completely empty. Crazy!! So if you've been wanting to get it soon, for you or for a present, make sure you get it soon, it's going fast! The DVD features an exclusive music zinepack. Plus you get a 64 page magazine with cast and crew interviews, exclusive behind-the-scenes photos and trivia and a custom cassette laptop decal.
We put on the movie and I let the kid put together the LEGOS.
They all had fun watching it and building, it was a good combination.
Once we got all the fun toys built, we set up our LEGO table and got ready to make the video.
What you do is take a picture of the LEGOS, you take a LOT of pictures. You move the pieces just a little bit and then take another picture. I had my kids move the pieces and then I took the pictures.
Then you put the pictures into a movie maker, change the duration of each picture to be about .3 seconds and then add some music. And then watch what happens. It's so much fun and my kids had a BLAST doing it!! The whole time we were doing it my oldest was yelling, "I am GROOOOOOOOOOOT!".
Since Guardians of the Galaxy is so hot right now, the toys would make the perfect gifts! Right now you can get a $5 gift card when you buy a Groot, Drax, or Rocket Raccoon figure for Disney Infinity 2.0. It's only available through 12/7-12/13, so hurry over and get it before it's too late!
They really do make great gifts, I gave the LEGO set to my son for his 8th birthday. It was the perfect gift for him! He loved it so much!
Have you seen Guardians of the Galaxy yet? Who is your favorite character?


text: © Dragon Images/shutterstock.com Conference Program | EXPO REAL Topics | Hotel Post-Brexit turbulence and the impact of Airbnb 15. September 2016 Maria Pütz-Willems Founder and editor-in-chief of HospitalityInside Hospitality Industry Dialogue topics at EXPO REAL 2016 Today, geopolitical turbulence and developments in individual countries and regions are having a greater impact on the hospitality industry than ever before. The industry's "key players" – investors such as hoteliers – are confronted with long-term, impossible-to-predict changes. The Hospitality Industry Dialogue at EXPO REAL 2016 will examine the biggest trends and reveal the opinions of some of the major players within the industry. The hotel conference's keynote speech will be given by internationally renowned London-based hotel market analysis specialists STR. Titel: "Navigating Uncertainty: Where is Europe's hotel industry headed?" A particularly pertinent question following the Brexit vote… And European diversity is also a key concern in discussions among pan-European hotel owners and operators, whose models are often varied, change frequently, and lead to confusion. This talk should bring some transparency. Where are the investors who want to invest in resorts? The CEO of Spanish company Barceló Hotels will be at EXPO REAL for the first time. In 2015, the group set up its first Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), changing their brand concept and their expansion plans for Europe. Joining them on the podium: LFPI Hotel Management Deutschland, UBMhotels, and Event Hotels. Appetites for travel within Europe are on the increase, but the appetite for investors to finance resorts is not following suit. Or is it? Falkensteiner Hotels, TUI, Morgan Stanley, and other high profile companies will be discussing "priorities, profit, and professionalism." Takeover wave engulfs small hotel groups The fall will see the merger of the Marriott and Starwood Hotels chains finally be made legal, thereby creating the world's largest hotel chain, with some 1.1 million rooms. This is one symbol of the current wave of takeovers which is sweeping over even small hotel groups. With this in mind, investors and owners are only concerned about one thing: How much space does this leave for their interests? Among those signed up to provide answers are a high-level manager from Fairmont Hotels (recently merged with AccorHotels), CEO of the German Novum Hotel Group, and a lawyer who specializes in this area. Boom in the budget segment There seems to be a constant influx of new players in the booming budget sector. And it is not just existing groups rapidly expanding across Germany and Europe – there are also many small, sometimes even family-owned companies that are flourishing in well-selected micro-markets having closely examined the concepts of the big players. Presenting their latest concepts: Cocoon Hotels & Buddy, Letomotel, My Quarter, and PAI Hotels. Airbnb and its impact on urban development and the hotel sector The global sphere is abuzz with two specific topics: South Africa and – the centerpiece of the hotel conference – "Airbnb & Co." Murray Cox, founder of the anti-Airbnb site "InsideAirbnb," will be flying in from New York to determine how online accommodation matchmaking platforms influence urban development and the hotel sector alongside city representatives, project developers, and market researchers. Further information on the listed events Navigating Uncertainty: Where is Europe's hotel industry headed? Tuesday, 10/04/2016, 10:30–10:50 Pan-European owner operators: Where is the best place to live in Europe and why? Tuesday, 10/04/2016, 11:00–11:50 The desire for leisure is increasing – but not among investors: Who is still financing resorts? Tuesday, 10/04/2016, 12:00–12:50 Airbnb & Co: The new P2P platforms' love for the hospitality and housing market. Tuesday, 10/04/2016, 13:30–14:50 Does larger mean better? Even after Marriott/Starwood acquisitions are booming. Tuesday, 10/04/2016, 15:00–15:50 The next boom region? Hotel industry in sub-Saharan Africa – opportunities and risks. Tuesday, 10/04/2016, 16:00–16:50 New concepts in the budget market: Bed box or hotel? Tuesday, 10/04/2016, 17:00–17:50 All of these events will take place in the SPECIAL REAL ESTATE FORUM in Hall C2.

People keep asking for my 100 Symphonies in 100 Days List! Here it is with the recordings I picked and what I thought about them. If you want to do a similar challenge, you don't have to listen to the same symphonies. For example, we had 50 pick your own and just set a certain # of symphonies by each composer (or era or gender, for example).
Crystal's list
Less Than a Week to Go!!!
I never blogged in August. It was a very busy month. At the beginning of the month I listened to composers from "National Schools". From 1830-1950, as "modern nation states emerged, music for many composers became a means of asserting their national identity."
Some more popular composers that can fall into this category:
- Elgar (British)
- Sibelius (Scandinavian)
- Vaughn Williams (British)
- Rachmaninoff (Russian)
Many of these composers used folk music in their classical compositions. New composers I found and liked:
- Glinka (Russian)
- Carl Nielsen (Scandinavian) He is a new favorite of mine!
I am in the modern period---and I'm enjoying it more than I thought!

A Little St. Patrick's Day Luck: Henry
Our family has owned four cocker spaniels, all purchased from reputable breeders. Our cockers have brought us much joy over the years. Last March, our furbabies consisted of Chloe, a 10-year-old black and tan beauty, and Stella, a four-year old sable sweetie. We felt like Stella needed a playmate as Chloe was spending more and more time lounging on the back of our couch. We contacted OBG and patiently waited our turn.
I was teaching Sunday school when we "got the call" we had been waiting for. A litter of boys had arrived. Boys with full tails. Swoon! We completed our application and home study in what felt like record time, then made arrangements to meet the boys. To pass the time, we looked at the boys' photos over and over, finding darling attributes about each one.
My children and I made our way to CeCe Holman's house to meet the pups. While I was in love with one of the boys, my daughter struck up an immediate love affair with another. As much as I tried to sway her, she stood firm. "He's the one" she proclaimed, as Henry (then known as Dazzler) was hunkered
down in her lap. Henry it was.
We brought him home on St. Patrick's Day. Our freckled, red and white, cheerful boy fit in easily with his furry sisters. Stella and Henry became fast friends, as we hoped, and Chloe is happy to supervise their puppy games from the back of the couch. Henry has strongly bonded to me and my daughter. We call him our Velcro boy, always attached to one of us. His tail "whacking" has become a favorite sound in our house. Our other two (nubtailed) cockers must be jealous of his musical stylings.
Henry is our first boy and first rescue dog. OBG couldn't have been more thorough, more thoughtful in their placement of Henry. We are forever grateful to have our boy and will be faithful cocker rescuers from now on.

Polly's Good on Friday
Last night, Holy Thursday, revellers at the night clubs in town were no doubt surprised; (as I was a number of years ago) to discover that the music stopped at 12 midnight on the dot. Not only this; the bars shut early too, leading the youth of today (and yesterday) to retire early for a day of solemn contemplation.
For the drinkers amongst us this is nothing short of catastrophic. In Ireland the majority of pubs are closed on Good Friday. Today is one of the two official days off for publicans. The local hotels will probably experience a shift in trade patterns today; as they are the only establishments allowed to open!
The Supermarket giants, such as Dunnes Store's, SuperQuinn and Tesco's are running the cheap booze campaigns again this year, offering cases of beer for as little as €11.99 in an effort to clean up; which no doubt they will. Cheaper outlets, such as Lidl, Aldi, etc are no doubt following suit; as they seldom miss an opportunity to sell anything cheaply!
All of this said, I have a small stock of red wine, purchased yesterday at my local Tesco's. The difference is that I seldom go shopping and when I do, I generally pick up a bottle or two in the vain hopes that it will see us through to the next time. I must also point out that the Corbieres doesn't tend to be marked down in celebration of anything, especially as it is one of their own brands. I guess this means it isn't too popular!
Another tradition associated with today is fasting from meat. Traditionally this results in the price of fish escalating in tandem with sales volume increasing! What the supermarkets lose with the loss leaders, ie beer and branded wines they will generally make up on the fish counters! Ooh dear! Is that a bit too cynical...?
Once again, I have cashed in on this as DG and I shall be eating Lemon Soul (should read Sole!) for supper this evening, with a selection of seasonal vegetables. Seeing as I bought it in the knock down section a while back it was an inexpensive purchase which has been nestling with icepacks and frozen peas for a couple of months.
The boys, who hate fish with a passion will be feasting on Tesco's economy brand Scampi. I'm not daft enough to try and 'cod' (should read con) them with fish fingers. They'll probably think I'm giving them chicken nuggets, hee, hee, hee! Take note of the fact that I bought the cheapest ones on the shelf...
If the worst comes to the worst DG and I will polish them off too and the kids will have to put up with a fried egg and chips!

Hardly any seems to obide by any of the 'rules' of Lent/Easter here (UK) at all.
I do remember going to Cork with a few friends a couple of Easters back and being very shocked too about everything finishing at midnight, lol.
Enjoy Easter :)

It's been confirmed that Stardew Valley will make its way to the Nintendo Switch. The announcement was made at the Nindies Showcase event that took place earlier today.
Stardew Valley is set to be released for the Switch this summer, although no specific date was given. That's good news for anyone worried that the console might experience a software drought, as the Harvest Moon-inspired farming RPG was among the best indie games of 2016.
The Switch version of Stardew Valley will be the first iteration of the game to feature multiplayer, according to a tweet posted by the official Nintendo of America Twitter account. When the game's developer ConcernedApe discussed multiplayer last year, he confirmed that co-operative play was going to be introduced to the game.
What form the game's multiplayer mode takes remains to be seen. However, given the console's unique controllers, it wouldn't be surprising to see the second player use the secondary Joy-Con to enter their friend's farm. There's no word whether co-op will be limited to local play, or whether players can join up online.
Multiplayer is still expected to be introduced into the other versions of Stardew Valley, but the Switch port has muscled its way to the front of the queue. Expect to see co-operative play added to the various other iterations of Stardew Valley sooner rather than later — unless there's a timed exclusivity clause that hasn't been made public.
Stardew Valley is available now for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and will be released for the Switch this summer.

With 2011 inching closer, rumors and leaks regarding the second generation iPad are going to pick up speed. It's just what always happens, the closer we get to the expected announcement of a particular device from the Cupertino-based company. Earlier in the week, we saw a video of what the iPad 2's case might like; earlier than that, we heard rumors that the device may feature a smaller bezel this time around, along with a boost to the speaker. 9to5Mac managed to get their hands on some case mold drawings, and have pointed out a few interesting details from the images.
First and foremost, are the obviously tapered edges. The images also suggest that the second generation tablet device will have a slightly contoured back, much like the first generation's body. The original report also says that the drawings confirm that the size of the camera hole is the same size as that of the iPhone 4's. The drawings also show a new port opening on the left-hand side of the device, of which there's no confirmation to its purpose. It could be a microSD card slot, as one rumor has reported in the past, but a likely candidate is the miniUSB or USB port that's been hinted at.
The drawings don't give us much. They do give us more questions, though. That port on the left side of the device is certainly something to keep in our mind's eye, as we count down the days until Apple unveils the device officially.

Dr. Andrew Lessman founded ProCaps Laboratories, a vitamin supplement company, in 1979. The company focused on developing vitamin supplements in line with scientific research and literature that were specifically designed to enhance athletic performance. ProCaps vitamin supplements were intended to replace sub-par vitamin supplements on the market in 1979.
Dr. Andrew Lessman based his company on honesty and integrity, according to ProCaps Laboratories. While attending Loyola Law School and training for a decathlon, Lessman developed a vitamin supplement regimen in order to enhance his performance. He noticed a need for high quality vitamin supplements with effective active ingredients for people from all walks of life.
Lessman left his law practice in 1989 to pursue a full-time career in developing high quality vitamin supplements.

Ok, you see where it is underlined? That is what page number you are on. Increase the number by one, and you should go to the page you need. You can do that on any thread you need, Ive noticed it has been going on alot lately, so I figured out how to get past it. Hope this helps.
Thanks that helped too.
No problem, its good to see people helping people for once. I dont see that often.

I just tried to see, but it turns out that you cant. You have to find a thread that is a basic list of all users. ( Hmm, that sounds like a good Idea....)

Maybe she needs help asking for help?
Throughout the course of human events, individuals come across quagmires of varying proportions that they have yet to confront. It is occasionally wise to call out to other travellers on The Road of Life and ask them to point out a way, based on what they have learned. In order to do this, you must explain first where you are, followed by where you are going! Using this information, your helpful hero can vomit his or her wisdom on to your path to show you a way! The best part is, you can ask for help as many times as you want and you aren't required to follow any of the advice that is given!
Our helpful vomit is waiting for you~!
This message will self-destruct
Wow, that was interesting to read. Good words. Anyway, if she needs to ask for help asking for help, then she should have said so. So, if you need help with asking for help, just type wht it is you need help with, or would like advice on and then someone will help you based on wht you ask. Thats about as clear as I can make it....
Getting Going~
lots of people i know think that i hate them when i'm being sarcastic or apathetic . help me please.
hah, you just wasted part of your life reading this
Well, just let them know that you were simply being sarcastic or apathetic. Also let them know it doesnt mean you hate them, if they dont understand that, it could be that they dont trust you. That can only be solved by earning their trust, and that can be difficult most times. So, just be kind to those people, and eventually they should realize that you dont hate them.

I Lived Like a Celebrity for a Week, and Here's What Happened
Every year during awards season, I spend so, so many hours—just about every weekend in January and February—sitting on my sagging couch, my Thai take-out getting colder by the second, while I try my best to write as many posts as quickly as I can about every thing that goes on during the red carpets and award shows. It is not glamorous and super exhausting, and I've often wondered what it would be like if the tables were flipped. Wouldn't it be great to put on a fancy dress, get made up, and have my biggest task of the day be walking down a carpet? So, when an opportunity came up to attend the People's Choice Awards (always the first show of the season), I decided to make a whole week of it and truly live like the other half. Here's what happened...
I woke up at the God-awful hour of 4:30 A.M. to get to the airport in time for my early flight to LAX from JFK (a very celeb-friendly flight route, of course). Because it was my last remaining hours as a non-famous person, I elected to call the shady car service I always use for airport trips. (Cheaper than Uber!) My driver pulled up in his tattered car right on time, but I was surprised to see a pre-teen boy sitting in the front seat. "It's OK if my son's here, right?" my driver asked while he threw—literally threw—my carry-on into his trunk. I mean, sure, it's not like I have an option otherwise, is it? On the bright side, having his child in the car did not at all stop this man from driving at a breakneck speed. I got to JFK in record-breaking time. Also, during our ride, the driver said "fuhgeddaboutit" in a non-ironic way, so, long story short, I love him.
After a long security line and six uncomfortable hours of being unable to recline my seat (never sit in an exit row), I finally arrived in Los Angeles ready to behave like the star I know I am. Greeting me at baggage claim was my driver, Frank, a polite, well-dressed man who helped carry my bags to his refreshingly clean SUV. Soon, we arrived at the Loews Hollywood Hotel. Now, this was truly a celebrity experience—my room had champagne in it waiting for me! And a view of the Hollywood sign! And I learned that this is the hotel where every celebrity gets ready for the Oscars at. The stars literally go there on the day of, get ready in their suites, then ride in their limos around the corner to the Dolby theater—even though the hotel literally connected to it. (All of the Oscar press interviews take place in the hotel's ballrooms.) I begged the staff to tell me which celebrities have stayed in my suite before or who will be staying there during this year's award show, but they remained discreet. That's good. I was just testing them anyway...I can't have them revealing that I, a celebrity, have stayed there, right? Another bonus of the hotel: It has a stunning rooftop helipad that is used for things like VIP guest happy hours and rooftop yoga classes. Here's the view:

But soon, hunger took over. I debated ordering room service—seems like a celebrity would prefer to have things brought to them versus venturing outside, no?—but then I saw on Google Maps that In 'N' Out was nearby and my love of burgers took over any reservations I had about being around people asking for my autograph. (Spoiler: They did not.) Also, celebrities love In 'N' Out! Miley Cyrus, Adele, and Beyonce have all been spotted there, so that was good enough for me. I will say: The burger was delicious, but the fries were...OK. But that's a review for another time.
After, I wandered around Hollywood Boulevard and pretended that I was just killing time before my appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Hollywood feels a lot like New York City's Times Square, which is to say that one visit is enough. I did, however, enjoy seeing the stars on the Walk of Fame. Despite my new "celebrity" status, I don't actually have a star there, so I picked the first person I could find who I'd like to be: Amy Poehler.

*Another morning where I had to wake up insanely early—this time for a private yoga class. Gotta get that Jennifer Aniston body! If I were Jen, I would exclusively do private yoga classes so that nobody can take photos of me in weird poses. There's no hiding when you're not feeling stretchy enough or if you look super awkward during a downward-facing dog pose. *Do I have a Jen Aniston body yet?
I guess one session isn't enough to tell.
After that, it was on to the activity I was most excited for: a massage at Exhale Spa. Heidi Klum and Cameron Diaz are reportedly fans of Exhale's Core Fusion classes, but I'm all about that relaxation. Before the massage, I got to pick my choice of scented oil. There were three options, so I chose the one I think Jen A. might be most likely to get: patchouli. Seems like her, right? Eh? After, the masseuse informed me that she felt a lot of tension in my left shoulder and showed me a stretch I can do to help. I had only been a celebrity less than 24 hours and already the stress of fame was showing!
After the massage, I headed to a leisurely lunch at Fig & Olive—a hotspot in Melrose Place for stars like Amanda Seyfried. I figured Jen, who I decided I was channeling that day, would likely order a salad….but then the waitress suggested the chicken sandwich and fries, and I was sold. So much for that Jen A body. The fries were worth it. They're called "skinny fries," which I assume means they are diet friendly. Right? RIGHT?!
Next, it was on to a VIP tour of the Dolby theater, where the Oscars are held. I even picked out my seat of choice: Front row between Channing Tatum and Keira Knightly is perfect, thankyouverymuch.
Later, we had dinner at Cleo at the Redbury Hotel. Scarlett Johansson and the Beckhams (Victoria and David) have been there before, though I didn't spot any celebs during my meal. After dinner, however, was a much better celeb-sighting experience. During drinks at Good Times at Davey Wayne's, a 70s-themed bar that plays vintage music, uses shag carpeting in the decor, and serves drinks like the "Tiny Dancer," I instantly spotted Marry Me's Ken Marino and Brooklyn Nine Nine's Joe Lo Truglio sitting on the patio with their buddies. I, a huge comedy nerd, wanted to shout "Wet Hot American Summer! The State!" as a sign of my respect for their work. But I refrained because I honor my fellow celebrities' privacy.
I had the option to take an early Soul Cycle class—it's a favorite of David Beckham and Jake Gyllenhaal—but...I opted for my beauty rest instead. If Adele doesn't care for spinning, then it's not for me either. That afternoon, I took a tour of the Warner Bros. lot and saw lots of cool things, especially Harry Potter memorabilia, but perhaps most exciting was the scoop I got on Gilmore Girls returning! (Read all about that here.)
Then, it was time to head to Beverly Hills for lunch. I dined at Thomas Keller's Bouchon a table over from Elton John's manager (or former manager? I forget) and ordered a steak. A steak! For lunch! So extravagant. It was delicious, but by this point the busy life of a celebrity (eating, working out, going to bed late after a night of networking) was starting to wear on me. I ordered a coffee to go with my meal, but even that didn't boost me up. After lunch, I met with celebrity stylist and personal shopper Joe Katz, but I could barely keep my eyes open. He was lovely as he escorted the group I was with around the Van Cleef & Arpels on Rodeo Drive, showing off jewelry that may or may not be loaned out for awards season, but I could feel myself winding down.
By then, I was so ready for a nap, but only had a few moments to check into my next hotel, the W Los Angeles-West Beverly Hills, and change before dinner at Hinoki & the Bird, a favorite of industry executives. The food was amazing, but I was so tired I couldn't figure out how to use the sink in the bathroom. True story. I wish I was kidding.
The big day of my trip! I started with brunch at Clementine. It's in the middle of industry offices in Century City, so many music celebs have been spotted there getting a bite. DJ Khaled Snapchatted a recent visit, and Calvin Harris reportedly loves their Turkey Caliente sandwich. Yum.
After brunch, I got a nail treatment at Bellacures, where stars like Jessica Alba have been known to go. Once I was all glammed up (and properly hydrated with mimosas), I rushed back to the hotel to get ready for the People's Choice Awards that evening. I ordered room service for a quick lunch because I knew I wouldn't be able to eat again until late that evening after the show—but my GlamSquad arrived at the same time as my food, so I only got to shove a few bites in before it got cold and sad. Oh well. I turned my attention on to my beautification process instead. The W Los Angeles-West Beverly Hills offers an awards season viewing package, which includes a cocktail party at STK, GlamSquad makeovers, and Rent the Runway, so I had rented a black jumpsuit from RTR (this one, to be exact) because I wanted that Taylor Swift/Emma Stone vibe. If they can wear a jumpsuit, I can too, surely? Too bad this one was slightly big on me, so I had to do some quick styling. You're only ever photographed from the front on the red carpet though, so I had that going for me.

Once I got to the PCAs, I stopped by the red carpet—and it was INSANITY. There were so many flashing lights and people and screaming and confusion. I don't know how celebrities do it. They all looked so poised and normal, but it was a literal zoo happening around them. After the show, I finally got to eat (at STK), but by then, it was so late that all I could stomach was a few mini sliders. (Burgers seems to be a theme in my life.)
Finally, a day off! I had a leisurely morning strolling around Westwood before heading off to meet up with Glamour's west coast contributor, Jessica Radloff, who basically acted as my personal handler for the day. She escorted me around the Television Critics Association winter press tour, which is a gathering for networks to highlight upcoming and current shows for the press, and we attended an HBO party, where I met real celebrities: Sesame Street puppets!
A photo posted by Anna Moeslein (@annamoeslein) on Jan 8, 2016 at 7:04am PST
The only food there that I could find were milk and cookies (and Cookie Monster had those on lockdown), so we headed to Cecconi's, a West Hollywood celebrity hotspot. It was crowded, so we were told the wait would be 45 minutes to an hour for a table. Did they not know that I am famous? I didn't want to pull that card though because I am humble and of the people. (And it would surely show up in TMZ the next day.)
By this point, my normal, non-celeb life had caught up with me (read: I had a ton of emails), so I took some time off from being famous to catch up. Snooze. But I did take a moment to get lunch at Plan Check, a favorite of Taylor Swift's. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich because it seemed southern-y and she has a house in Nashville, so maybe that's what she would order? (Eh, worth a shot.)
Later in the day, my exhaustion from the week hit and I fell asleep hard. But naps are miracle workers—within two hours, I was ready to hit the town again for one last famous LA experience: drinks at No Vacancy, a favorite of Rob Pattinson and K-Stew. I managed to reserve a table (they are hard to get!) and my friends and I ordered a giant punchbowl. A lot of people stared at us, clearly trying to figure out who we were to get such good seats and have such a giant bowl of punch. Finally, people notice that I'm famous!!! (Also, our gorgeous waitress was a former American Idol contestant because this is LA and of course.)
I also found a secret photo booth:

Time to go home back to my normal life. But I had one experience left: A driver in NYC greeted me in a Bentley. Here's a photo as proof:
As if this wasn't luxurious enough, the seats in the car have a back massager, which is the most wonderful thing that's ever happened after a long flight where I yet again could not recline my seat. (Gosh darn you, Virgin America.)
As I looked out the window of this fancy car, I reflected on my time and what it was like to be a celebrity. Yes, it was filled with wonderful new experiences and luxury that I could never afford day to day. But there was also a lot of pressure, stressful time management, and an inability to be in control of your own day. I was surprised at how happy I was to get back to my normal life—which included writing about the Golden Globes, on my couch, that very evening. I will miss that back massager though...

Press article fom 14.10.2004
Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, 14th October 2004. The traffic statistics at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport continue to show an upward trend. The number of passengers in the first nine months of the year increased by 17 percent compared with the same period of the previous year (1,777,433 passengers) to 2,086,205. With 45,153 tonnes, airfreight transshipment achieved an in-crease of 102 percent (22,342 tonnes last year). Including the road feeder service, the airport handled 140,970 tonnes, 24 percent more than in the previous year (113,260 tonnes). On the other hand, the number of flight movements rose by only three percent from 23,342 to 24,138.
The amount of passenger traffic at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport has again increased in the third quarter. 788,133 passengers flew "from Hahn" in the months of July to September. This was 9 percent more than in the second quarter of 2004 (719,844 passengers) and as much as 36 percent more than in the first quarter of this year (578,288 passengers). Compared with the same quarter of the previous year, passenger traffic (702,800 passengers) has increased by twelve percent. The best month for traffic was August with 274,041 passengers.
The largest proportion of passengers that have flown this year, 2,053,013 passengers, was recorded by the scheduled airlines. Here, the increase was 17 percent compared with the previous year. Charter and package holidaymakers increased by eight percent to 21,846. The number of transit passengers rose by 60 percent from 7,108 to 11,346.
A strong upward trend can also be seen in cargo. A total of 140,970 tonnes was handled, 24 percent more than in the previous year. This includes 95,767 ton-nes of air freight transported by HGV, the so-called road feeder service. This shows an increase of six percent. 45,153 tonnes of pure air cargo were trans-shipped. This represents a doubling of the previous year's result of 22,342 tonnes.
50,445 tonnes of cargo were handled in the months of July to September alone, 15 percent more than in the first quarter (43,754 tonnes) and 8 percent more than in the second quarter of 2004 (46,771 tonnes). The best month was September with 17,746 tonnes.

Tax cuts pay for themselves, except when a tax cut happens to be the focal point of Democratic campaigns. Republicans have offered to break the impasse over the payroll tax cut extension with a plan of their own, one that theoretically pays for the cuts and shrinks the deficit by $111 billion more. Freshman Sen. Dean Heller, who's up in 2012, gets to carry the ball. The plan, annotated
Extends the current temporary payroll tax holiday for one year
Eliminates millionaires' and billionaires' eligibility for unemployment compensation and food stamps
Requires millionaires and billionaires to pay higher Medicare premiums
More means-testing!
Offsets costs by reducing the size of the federal workforce and extending the current federal employee pay freeze for three additional years, an idea from the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission
A Republican goal acheived through other means!
Includes the Buffett Rule Act, which allows taxpayers who feel they are not taxed enough to voluntarily donate any amount of money to the U.S. Treasury on their tax returns for the purpose of paying down the national debt
Gimmickry! Nothing currently prevents taxpayers from donating to the Treasury. There's a webpage set up to do just that. It's here. This is one reason why Democrats are already coughing this up like so much rancid egg nog.
"We are glad Republicans have seen the light and taken up Democrats' call to pass a middle-class tax cut, just a few days after their leadership indicated they would oppose it," said Reid spox Adam Jentleson in a statement. Alas: "The Republican proposal cannot pass the Senate as it stands, but now that Republicans have reversed their position on this middle-class tax cut, we look forward to working with them to negotiate a consensus solution."
Why not? It worked for the debt deal, in a manner of speaking.

It was 2009 and Nyree Corby's digital media agency, The Topia Project, had just gone into administration due to a combination of "youthful optimism, some bad debts and poor financial advice," she explained at the time. This was the same company that had won Corby the Telstra Young Businesswoman of the year award just four months previously. Fast-forward seven years and this experience underpins the ethos of Corby's new venture, the incredibly successful online custom dressmaker, Fame and Partners.
"Every failure is a learning experience; every success is a learning experience," the seasoned entrepreneur tells us. "I've learned to not think of disappointments as failures but rather as opportunities to learn, grow, and eventually succeed. I am trying to build this culture into Fame and Partners; where we celebrate and learn from everything that went wrong… and right!"
And there is much to celebrate. Just two years after launching the on-demand, made-to-order retailer – which has achieved 400% growth year on year – Nyree managed to raise an impressive AUD$10.02 million from two US investors and subsequently relocated the company from Sydney to LA. Expanding into America was a feat, she says, that was achieved through a combination of dogged determination and a passionate belief in her brand.
It was while she was working as a venture capitalist – a job that meant she was paid to stay abreast of internet, commerce, retail and mobile trends – that Nyree had her 'aha!' moment. After reading a cautionary tale of one woman's terrible experience of purchasing an evening gown online, the idea for Fame and Partners was born.
Upon researching further, Nyree discovered that while 20% of all clothing was eventually destroyed, 50% was sold at clearance, which meant that only 30% of clothing produced was sold as intended. "I discovered a huge imbalance in supply and demand in womenswear," says the Australian, who also noted that return rates were at an all-time high.
Indeed, upon landing in the States, Nyree's plan was a simple one: she wouldn't return home until she had achieved what she set out to.
"The plan was to return to Australia only after I had secured funding," she recalls, adding that she even had an open-ended plane ticket home. "I knew I needed to be prepared to travel and stay in the US as long as it took to close, despite the challenges running a company on the other side of the world."
This gamble paid off, with venture capitalists telling Nyree that they often turned other Australian entrepreneurs away that didn't demonstrate the same level of commitment.
But that wasn't her only stand-apart tactic that won over her US investors.
"Focus and simplicity is what any investor is seeking. Find the [best] way to articulate what you are doing in under eight words and use this as your war cry," Nyree urges. "US VC's want to see a business that has global ambitions and a global opportunity; Australian VC's are more risk averse and narrow in their focus (with an exceptional few) and so don't be afraid to sell, sell, sell. They will also want you to be in close physical proximity which will mean a commitment to relocating."
Which is exactly what Nyree did.
"The greatest challenge since relocating a team to Los Angeles and recruiting 20 people in the space of three months has been ensuring there is adequate time in all strategic plans to allow employees to sufficiently on board and find their natural cadence, whilst still achieving what the company needed to," she explains. "I want to build a culture that is supportive and nurturing – to me, this is extremely important."

I absolutely love Oscar de la Renta's interpretation of the ball gown. This beauty is made of Ivory tulle with embroidered flowers at the bodice and delicately scattered throughout the skirt. An Ivory sash at the natural waist completes the dress for a decidedly feminine look.
Though I love the grandeur of a duchess satin gown with a full sweeping train, this dress is so light and airy but elegant enough to hold its own at The Ritz.
So get your Manolos and Louboutins ready girls - you'll be dancing till the early hours of the morn!
Somewhere up in Heaven, Grace Kelly is smiling down on us!

My Lineman Climbing Experience
While I was working for the C&P Telephone Company, in Bethesda, MD, I had the great good fortune to be able to work with the amazing Ron Layman; Lineman Extraordinaire.
When I started with the phone company, I was required to attend Plant School in Washington, DC. While there, I learned how to install house phones, hang a drop from the pole to the house, and understand the workings on the phone system. Wire color coding, Tip & Ring and all that. In addition, they took us out to the yard next to the building and taught us how to climb a pole.
Keep in mind this was 1966 and well before the effort to bury all telephone and power lines, so most phone lines were still run on poles. I had an excellent instructor and was thrilled to be actually be climbing a telephone pole on hooks.
I must admit it was helpful that I was inspired by having read the book "Slim" by William Wister Haines back in 1958 while I was living in London. Found the paperback on a rack at the PX in Grosvernor Square; the old embassy building before the current one was built. I was captivated. The paperback cover alone made me want to be a lineman; at the tender age of 16.
Once I was assigned to work out of the Bethesda garage, learned the process of fulfilling the daily orders and getting my own panel truck, I found out how much I preferred working outdoors on the poles rather than in the houses. Some houses were very nice work, others were nightmares. I could tell you stories.
So it didn't take long for the other installers in the garage, who hated to climb, to start swapping their climbing orders with me. And I got all the 'hook poles' in places like Potomac, MD. Now it's all built up and the lines are all underground. But in the 60's there were a lot of new housing developments where 'hook poles' were used. In the older residential areas like Bethesda and Chevy Chase, all the poles had 'step bolts' already installed. So hooks were not needed, just the portable first step which slipped over a bold head on the pole. This helped keep anyone but trained telephone company employees from climbing the poles. Remember, power lines ran on the same poles only a couple of feet above the installers head.
It was on a climbing job where I first worked with Ron Layman. Just watching Ron climb took me back to the description of linemen in the book "Slim". He had a way of setting his gaff in the pole and straightening his leg that looked different from how I learned in plant school and seems smoother, faster and more sure-footed. My training began.
We didn't climb that high in most cases, maybe 40 or 50 feet. But some jobs in the distant suburbs had us on higher poles, the 70 foot variety. The first time I watched Ron come down a tall pole in 10 strides, I was dumbfounded. But he had been a lineman with Ivy Smith, the electrical contractor, for years and really knew how to climb. This I had to do. Like anything else that was about 'go fast', I had to learn this. And I did. That's why I took all the hook pole tickets from the other installers. I wanted to climb.
Before I left the phone company, Ron did. He was dating one of the girls on the 'wheel', from where all out order tickets were derived, Maureen or just Mo, Possibly they left the area together, I don't know. I just remember my upset that we wouldn't be able to work together again. I left C&P a short time later. I was put on jobs pulling cable in office buildings and just said the hell with it.
Many years later, around 2004, I found myself speaking with an Ivy Smith lineman in the Germantown, MD Applebees. He said he knew Ron Layman and heard he had died. Seems all the linemen he knew, knew of Ron and he was highly respected.
To this day, whenever I see a string of tall telephone/power poles or towers, it brings back the wonder days of hooking tall poles in the summer heat and racing Ron Layman to the ground, chunk, chunk, chunk.

The first Wednesday of every month I link up with these FABULOUS Ladies for Pinspiration Wednesday!
Erica, Justine, and Leigh
Erica, Justine, and Leigh
Today we are sharing our Summer Bucket List~
So I asked the kids what they would like to do this Summer!
Here is what they said:
Six Flags!
Well that works for me because they both earned free tickets through the reading program at School!! :)
Wild Adventures!
It is in Valdosta, GA which is where Ben graduated from college, so we are planning a weekend to go visit his Alma Mater and Wild Adventures.
It is a mini Six Flags and they also have a water park!
We have VBS next week!
On the days that we stay home to catch up on
rest, cleaning, laundry, Etsy orders, etc
I plan on having these activities for the kids!!
Y'all know how much my Ian Michael LOVES Golf!!
She could play school for HOURS! I found these AWESOME printable's for her to use!!
Ella can easily entertain herself!! She loves playing school, coloring, and playing with her American Girl dolls!!
It's Ian that is EASILY Boredom and hates to be by himself!
They both need to work on their Summer Reading List, so I found these ideas!!
We also have the Pottery Barn Kids bean bag chairs! Ben's mom bought them for the kids for Christmas one year! Well I think it is time we bust them out again and make a reading nook in the Living Room!! Anything to get them to read more!!
I also saw these on Pinterest!!
and thought this would be a nice guide to follow some weeks!!
If you have been reading my blog for any length of time then you know our love for Ice Cream and My FAVORITE Ice cream Maker!!
I got this awesome machine online as one of the 12 days of Christmas daily deals from William Sonoma for around $40!
I have used it a few times and the ice cream is so yummy!! Since it gets durn right HOT here in Georgia, we plan on making and eating LOTS of ice cream! I found these yummy recipes

Bernard Jensen, a well known iridologist came up with the phrase "Death Begins in the Colon." He was one of the first of the so called 'alternative physicians', to understand the relationship between weight loss, well being and this main organ of elimination.
The colon is one of the primary organs used to eject any type of digested waste from the body. Foods are broken down in the colon and the nutrients that are produced are then directed into the bloodstream so that fuel, tissue and fat can be utilised from it. If these processes are not allowed to happen then the rest of the body becomes dysfunctional. The bottom line is and no pun intended if you do not have a clean colon your other organs will also suffer and cause you to gain excess weight.
If your colon is not clean you can also look fatter than you are. A colon that is stuffed with impacted faecal matter due to inefficient elimination can cause a person to weigh a lot more. Some people can carry as much as thirty pounds of this waste material around in their mid-section. This is obviously uncomfortable, unflattering and unhealthy.
Add gas produced from a toxic colon to the impacted faecal matter issue and will encounter even more physical problems. The extra compacted faecal matter that was never eliminated causes their bellies to become distended, round or full looking. In fact most beer bellies are not caused by beer at all but rather by parasites that are impacted with mucus that live off of undigested waste.
Another reason that people get fat is because parasites nest in the colon and grow because they feed off of the nutrition that should be used to feed your body. This compels the individual to eat more and more in order to get enough nutrition to get through the day. You end up feeding two entities yourself and the parasites.
There are two ways to cleanse the colon. The fastest, most efficient way is through a process called colonic irrigation, which involves the insertion of a tube into the anal canal into the colon to flush it out with water.
The second way is to use a cleansing herbal formula, which often contain herbs that are known to kill parasites and eliminate mucus and compacted faeces from the sides of the colon wall.
Before you take a colon cleansing herbal formula, make sure that you check with your doctor to make sure that the herbs in it are not harmful to you. Many powerful colon-cleansing herbs such as wormwood also come with unpleasant side effects such as headaches, fatigue and even fever.
Either way colon cleaning can be a way to lose weight, especially the pounds caused compacted fecal matter that can sabotage your attempts to achieve natural weight loss.
Natural Weight Loss - 5 Tips Can Make Your Plan Successful
One of the major health problems found nowadays is the issues related to lifestyle. Obesity is growing by leaps and bounds and hundreds of thousands of people across the world suffer from overweight one or the other way. Again, the culprits are many; right from improper dietary pattern including irregular meal timings, consumption of junk, canned, packed foods and foods with preservatives to hereditary factors and from bad and harmful lifestyle such as sedentary to lack of proper body care.
There are many ways to lose the weight. The options include surgeries such as liposuction, modern medications, fitness exercises, special physical workouts, proper dietary pattern, lifestyle modifications, consumption of healthy and specially designed foods, intake of herbal medications or natural products etc. More and more people now prefer to undergo natural weight loss as modern options may come up with other complications and unwanted effects.
Natural weight loss tip 1: To lose weight, one should not go for any quick weight loss. This is because a sudden drop in a weight may make body weak and dull. It also harms body systems and organs. One should plan not more than 10% of the body weight to lose in one week. The first thing that comes to lose weight is dietary restriction. Junk food, spicy food, oily food and foods with preservatives are to be given up. Include dark, green and leafy vegetables and fresh fruits preferably citrus and not so sweetish that help in fat metabolism and also help in cleansing the intestines so body remains a toxic-free zone.
Natural weight loss tip 2: The nature has gifted us with lots of herbs that possess natural anti-obesity action. They help in loosing and then melting down the body adipose tissues the body fats. Herbs such as garcinia, guggulu, haritaki are said to have good results in obesity and overweight. One can consume such herbs as a single supplement or can go for some herbal formula that contains the blend or combination of these herbs.
Natural weight loss tip 3: Honey, lukewarm water and lemon juice work wonderfully. To prepare special solution out of it, take one glass of lukewarm water and add 1 tsp of honey along with 1 tsp of lemon juice. Consume this healthy drink preferably on empty stomach on a regular basis. The solution helps in cleansing the intestines and also helps in losing the weight.
Natural weight loss tip 4: Exercises do play significant role in lose weight. Aerobic exercises, cardio, jogging, early morning brisk walking etc are considered to be useful in losing extra pounds those have been accumulated in various parts of the body.
Natural weight loss tip 5: Change in lifestyle is necessary and is very important factor in natural weight loss campaign. Park your vehicle a bit far away from the office and take a walk. Likewise, prefer climbing the stairs than to go for elevators. Giving up sedentary lifestyle helps in shedding off extra pounds from the body.

The efficient city workers in charge of the San Francisco Government's website had updated the schedule a bit early, so today I found myself going to a Board of Supervisors LAFCo meeting that was actually taking place the following Friday.
On the way, there were a half dozen wedding parties to thread through who I presume had come to City Hall for their marriage licenses.
In some cases, there were couples actually being married by a minister on the top of the stairs in front of a few witnesses.
The reason I wanted to go to the LAFCo (Local Agency Formation Committee) meeting was that they were going to continue their hearings on the Gavin Newsom giveaway of the city's wifi airspace to Earthlink/Google. A few of the previous hearings have been quite amazing, with articulate speakers explaining to the technically unsophisticated supervisors why giving away a public utility to a private company wasn't the best idea in the world.
I also wanted to see what would be said in light of the front-page USA Today articles describing how AT&T, Verizon and a host of other huge telecommunication companies had conspired illegally with the federal government to keep tabs on millions of Americans.
That the Bush Administration would be doing something like this comes as no surprise to anybody who has been paying any attention to these criminals, but what does surprise me is how these huge telecommunication companies have just cut their own throats.
Video, data, and voice (telephone, in other words) is coming together in one stream even as we speak and there is a huge struggle in the world over who will build, administer and profit from this development. AT&T and Verizon can kiss their asses goodbye as contenders in this brave new world because they have completely trashed their own brand, which is really all they have to sell. Nobody will now trust them with anything.
It seems that the only large telco that actually asked, "Do you happen to have a warrant for that information? No? Well, then we can't help you" is some group called Qwest Communications. I think we as patriotic Americans need to make them the #1 American brand by the end of the year. Here's a note I sent them over their website (click here) this afternoon:
"Your company is all over the news as the one principled telco who actually followed the law when the NSA was asking you to break it. Please take advantage of this moment and become the #1 telco in the country, immediately. Most Americans are disgusted by the behavior of your competitors, and are quite ready to switch, particularly if you make it easy for them to do so. I'm certainly ready to switch. Please send me info. I'm currently with the loathsome AT&T."
Please join me.

The small wind research turbine (SWRT) testing project was initiated with the goal of better characterizing both small wind turbine loads and dynamic behavior. The main purpose of the testing was to produce high quality data sets for model development and validation and to help the wind industry further their understanding of small wind turbine behavior, including furling. Previous papers have discussed modeling results for the SWRT using the FAST aeroelastic simulator. This paper summarizes modeling results from both the FAST and ADAMS aeroelastic simulators. The ADAMS model allows for blade torsional stiffness to be modeled, which is shown to significantly improve the agreement between model and test results for rotor speed and explain variances in previous comparisons between the SWRT FAST modeling results and the SWRT test data. The ADAMS model results also show that the aerodynamic pitching moment impacts the blade torsion more than the inertial forces.

This Saturday (1 December), large numbers of people will switch off Facebook for a day in protest at the company's tax avoidance. Anti-poverty campaigners hope their message will go viral, and alert users of the popular site to the company's dodging of corporation tax.
Church Action on Poverty initiated the campaign after it was revealed that the company paid just £196,000 in corporation tax on estimated UK sales of £175 million in 2011.
The Christian campaign group are asking supporters to share images with friends to advertise the action. Participants are also encouraged to leave a message for their friends, telling them why they are switching off for the day.
"Despite media coverage, many of Facebook's 43 million users will be unaware of the company's tax dodging," explained Niall Cooper, National Co-ordinator of Church Action on Poverty.
He added, "Right now, every pound of tax dodged is a pound less to spend on essential public services. The impact is increasingly being felt by individuals, families and communities across the country."
The online protest is part of a wider push for governmental action on tax dodging, through more transparency and better legal and financial support for HMRC to close the £35 billion 'tax gap'.
Corporate tax avoidance has become an increasingly major concern since UK Uncut began nonviolent direct action over the issue in 2010. Campaigns against tax dodging are a priority for a number of Christian organisations, including Church Action on Poverty, Christian Aid and Christianity Uncut.
Tax is one of four strands in Church Action on Poverty's campaign to "Close the Gap" between rich and poor, alongside initiatives for Fair Pay, Fair Prices and a Fair Say for those cut out of decision-making.

Seems like they would both be just about locks to be on the roster next year, no?
Seems like they would both be just about locks to be on the roster next year, no?
Not locks, no. They're both still very, very young. Chytil appears to be developing at a more rapid pace, but it's too early to call either a lock.
"Everyone says you should be a good loser. If youre a good loser, youre a loser."
- John Tortorella
"Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence."
- Christopher Hitchens
No. No kids will be locks. Gorton even said on a radio interview that they are key pieces and he will not have them rushed. He will be patient with their development. He won't wait too long, but won't force them. They are kids and not even fully physically done growing. The frontal lobe of their brain is still developing. He hinted that we will see them at the end of the year. Reading between the lines, just enough games to not use a year of their eligibility.
Now guys 21, 22, 23... need to be forced ionto the lineup to sink or swim. Graves has little to nothing to gain in the AHL next year, same for Nieves. They'll both get a shot to make it if they are here. It may be make or break for one of them.
Not locks at all. The early projection would be Chytil is on the opening night roster and Anderson is still in Hartford. If they primarily get draft picks in the sell off, there is going to be an issue about having NHL ready players to fill the roster next year.
Essentially sure not to be on opening night roster: Nash, Grabner, Holden, Desharnais, Carey, McCloud, Kampfer.
Questionable for opening night roster: McD, Zuch, Lettieri, Pionk, Smith, Lundquist, Pavelek.
Surprise not on the opening night roster: a couple of guys not mentioned above.
If getting rid of all of those folks currently on the roster yields one-third NHL ready players and two-thirds picks, who the heck is going to fill all of the spots?
a time.
Forget opening roster, who is at Camp? Forget camp, what happens in the early off season? Forget that, let's see what happens this month!
Let's enjoy this journey, we know it is a rebuild. Hopefully not too painful, but hope will helps us be patient. Hope is represented by the returns we get from our 2 best players this year and our captain. Each event/deal shapes the next.
Keep it simple. Win every period, every shift. How about 1 good trade to start us off. Let's get this show on the road. Show me the hope.
As for Chytil and Andersson, the decision should be based purely on the merit of what is best for the player's development. If the guy is ready, don't hold him back. Don't let need force the move.
