Just heard from my publisher that my newest book may well be available this weekend. It's been a while since I've been here on a regular basis, I guess you could say I've taken the summer off, but now it's back to the grindstone.
Here's the tentative new cover.
Dr. Lauren Bancroft is looking to make a difference, so she moves to a small town in Montana. She doesn't want to set the world on fire but finds sparks with a certain Trace Connors that could well set her on fire.

In immigration law, an aggravated felony is a very serious crime, which carries serious consequences. For example, aggravated felons are subject to removal (deportation) from the U.S. if they are here on a visa or a green card; they are not eligible to apply for asylum or the protections of the Convention Against Torture; they are not eligible for a defense to removal known as "cancellation of removal," and once they've been convicted removed from the U.S., they are permanently inadmissible – that is, will never again be eligible for a U.S. visa or green card.
But what exactly is an aggravated felony? It's impossible to tell by the name of a person's conviction alone. The determination depends on how the crime (which most likely was prosecuted by a state court) matches up to federal immigration laws and court decisions. The result is that even some people who have been convicted of misdemeanors, or of crimes that did not have the word "felony" in it, have been found to have committed an aggravated felony.
The basic definition of aggravated felony is found in Section 101(a)(43) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (I.N.A.), or Section 1101(a)(43) of the U.S. Code. It lists the 21 types of crimes described below as aggravated felonies, which list very nearly makes it from A to Z! We'll put a shortened version of what the actual statute says in bold below, followed by any relevant interpretations by the courts or immigration authorities.
(A) Murder, rape, or sexual abuse of a minor. Murder has been interpreted to include not only the various degrees of murder, but attempted murder. Rape similarly includes the various degrees of rape, whether it was forcible or by means of administering a drug or other intoxicant to the victim. Courts have disagreed on whether statutory rape (with a minor) constitutes an aggravated felony. Sexual abuse of a minor can include attempts, such as solicitations over the Internet.)
(B) Illicit trafficking in a controlled substance. This usually means illegal drugs, and it accounts for large numbers of deportations.
(C) Illicit trafficking in firearms (guns), destructive devices, or explosive materials.
(D) Money-laundering or engaging in monetary transactions in property derived from specific unlawful activity if the amount exceeded $10,000.
(E) Certain explosive materials or firearms offenses. This has been held to include a case of attempted arson.
(F) A crime of violence (not including a purely political offense) for which the term of imprisonment at least one year. "Crime of violence" has been interpreted to mean an with an element the use of physical force against another, or a felony that by its very nature involves a substantial risk that physical force against another person may be used.)
(G) Theft (including receipt of stolen property) or burglary if the term of imprisonment was at least one year.
(H) Kidnapping or making a demand for or receipt of ransom.
(I) Child pornography.
(J) Racketeering, or gambling if a sentence of one year imprisonment or more could have been imposed.
(K) Owning, controlling, managing, or supervising a prostitution business; transportation for the purpose of prostitution if committed for commercial advantage; or peonage, slavery, involuntary servitude, or trafficking in persons.
(L) Gathering or transmitting national defense information, disclosure of classified information, sabotage, treason, or compromising the identity of undercover intelligence agents.
(M) Fraud or deceit in which the loss to the victim or victims exceeds $10,000; or tax evasion in which the revenue loss to the government exceeds $10,000. For example, an alien who got involved in a scheme to buy stolen cars using bad checks and then resell them in another state was found removable under this section.
(N) Alien smuggling. There's an exception for a first offense for which the alien has affirmatively shown the purpose of assisting, abetting, or aiding only the alien's spouse, child, or parent (and no other person).
(O) Illegally entering the U.S. after a previous deportation on the basis of an aggravated felony conviction.
(P) Falsely making, forging, counterfeiting, mutilating, or altering a passport or instrument (document fraud) for which the term of imprisonment is at least 12 months. There's an exception for the case of a first offense in which the alien has affirmatively shown that the offense was committed for the purpose of assisting, abetting, or aiding the alien's spouse, child, or parent (and no other person) .
(Q) Failure to appear for service of sentence if the underlying offense is punishable by imprisonment for five years or more.
(R) Commercial bribery, counterfeiting, forgery, or trafficking in vehicles the identification numbers of which have been altered, if the term of imprisonment is at least one year.
(S) Obstruction of justice, perjury or subornation of perjury, or bribery of a witness, for which the term of imprisonment is at least one year.
(T) Failure to appear before a court pursuant to a court order to answer to or dispose of a charge of a felony for which a sentence of 2 years' imprisonment or more may be imposed.
(U) An attempt or conspiracy to commit an aggravated felony.
Does it sound like every crime qualifies as an aggravated felony? Indeed, this is an area where legislators and the courts have very little patience for people who are offered the right to a U.S. green card or visa and then abuse it, or bring harm to U.S. society. Even relatively minor crimes can cause problems getting a green card or U.S. citizenship.
Nevertheless, the case laws contain numerous situations where people have successfully proven that a crime they committed did not rise to the level of an aggravated felony. If you are an immigrant and are arrested for a crime, or placed in deportation proceedings based on a past crime, consult an experienced U.S. immigration attorney immediately.

Over the past two weeks, I had the rare privilege to observe, at close quarters, a new business leader engage with teams, trying to grasp the contours of the challenges at hand while getting to know people; asking questions innocent and sharp, memorizing new acronyms and probing to discover the limits of available information; dissecting elements of strategy and distinguishing them from objectives; revealing and sharing to begin establishing credibility and style. One quality of this person was of special interest to me, namely, this person is a voracious reader who quotes business aphorisms and thinking frameworks—in somebody's words, this person is a walking, talking i-TFTD!
Some of the topics of discussion I witnessed has inspired this bonus edition of i-TFTD. First of all:
The next thing to saying a good thing yourself, is to quote one.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher (1803-1882)
Proverbs encapsulate wisdom. They become famous through their usefulness across time for people to recall a point and to make it effectively. They can act as shorthand to convey rich thoughts in a manner that attracts through compactness or elegance.
In a complex information gathering situation, there are plenty of disclaimers about history and incompleteness of views. But:
To a clear eye the smallest fact is a window through which the infinite may be seen.
-Thomas Henry Huxley, biologist and writer (1825-1895)
Actually we make many important decisions like hiring a person based on subjective impressions in a brief interaction. The reason for this being a popular method is that a better one has not been found. Therefore:
Precision of communication is important, more important than ever, in our era of hair-trigger balances, when a false or misunderstood word may create as much disaster as a sudden thoughtless act.
-James Thurber, American author, cartoonist and celebrated wit (1894–1961)
One interesting concept I picked up was, "Questions requiring numerical answers, when responded with English, could be a sign of trouble!"
Not that clear and precise communication is easy to achieve. Because:
After all, when you come right down to it, how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?
-Russell Hoban, American fantasy writer (1925–2011)
Perspectives and dimensions of awareness figured in the conversation as an undercurrent. There is only so much that explanation and dialogue can achieve. Remember:
You cannot speak of ocean to a well-frog, the creature of a narrower sphere. You cannot speak of ice to a summer insect, the creature of a season.
-Zhuangzi, Chinese philosopher (370-301 BCE)
Aspects of personal and organizational change have been a perennial favorite covered in i-TFTDs before, such as i-TFTD #298: Change How We Face, i-TFTD #294: On the Difficulty of Change, i-TFTD #284: Navigating Change, i-TFTD #287: On Choosing Dots to Connect, and i-TFTD #252: On the Why and How of Change among others. Proactive change initiators are a rare breed but should constitute a necessary proportion of any performance-oriented team. As it is said:
Progress is 95 percent routine teamwork. The other 5 percent relies on restless, inner-directed people who are willing to upset our applecart with new and better ideas.
-Michael LeBouef, American business book author and professor (1942-)
While acknowledging the need for different kinds of individuals, it pays to keep in mind the strengths approach concept, which we have extensively covered earlier in i-TFTD #335: Managers Need to be Strengths-Spotters, i-TFTD #160, i-TFTD #115: Only One Move, i-TFTD #142: Don't Send Your Ducks to Eagle School, i-TFTD #79: 3 Tips to Be a Prime Mover, i-TFTD #20: Motivation + Talent = Strength and i-TFTD #10: Abolish SWOT Analysis. So finally:
The question, 'Who ought to be boss?' is like asking, 'Who ought to be the tenor in the quarter?' Obviously, the man who can sing tenor.
-Henry Ford, American industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor Company (1863–1947)
If you like the way I connected one thing to another, you can connect with me by letting me know!

2100 EFI Running-In report
Retorqued the head and reset the tappets on saturday. I was impressed with the headstuds - they all needed exactly the same amount of re-tensioning at 45-deg. They are torqued to 80lb/ft (ARP 206-4205). Tappets are set to 0.018"
The engine is running very well - both torquey and revvy. From cold you can here the forged pistons - just a gentle slap but after about a mile they are silent.
The power/torque goes absolutely bonkers at 4500-5000 and will rev to 6500+ with a mad snarl and ever increasing urge. I have been a little gentle at these high revs (only about 93MAP) and haven't hit the limiter (set at 7300rpm). I have the mixture set for 12.7 AFR full load and currently using 32 deg advance.
This engine is running a hybrid GTT 42A cam that gave great results in a TR6 and it also seems to really work well in the smaller engine. Driving to work and not using more than 3500rpm it just feels like a normal engine - no hissy fits , no flat spots and good torque from 2000rpm. As you build the revs the power just builds progressively until the step change at about 4500 when all hell breaks loose. Got a few looks yesterday of extreme puzzlement as the staid yellow saloon with an exhaust note like an pre-war ERA howled past.
Need to get another couple of thousand kms on it (about 600km so far) and then I'll try it on the usual dyno - should be interesting . Using the car everyday now which soon piles on the miles.

MOBILE CO., Ala. (WPMI) —
A 20-year-old mare named Polly, investigators say, was sexually molested by a Mobile County, Ala., man Thursday night. The sheriff's office says Daniel Bennett, 18, was caught in the barn and confessed.
"How did he explain himself being in the stall?" asked WPMI's Andrea Ramey.
"He likes horses. He wanted to pet the horse," replied Polly's owner Francine Janes.
"What did he tell investigators?" asked Ramey.
"That he molested the horse," replied Janes.
Janes believes it wasn't an isolated incident after finding evidence the stall had been disturbed throughout the month of December.
"I would say seven maybe 10 times," said Janes. "Toilet paper had been left. The hay stacks had been removed. Items had been turned over. And that's as far as I want to go."
Janes says after hearing the dogs bark Thursday night, she went with her husband, who was armed with a gun, to the barn and found Bennett hiding in the stall. Deputies say Bennett was held at gunpoint until they arrived and found the 18-year-old had a trench coat with burglar's tools in it.
Janes says she's appalled by what's happened and hopes Bennett seeks help.
"I sincerely hope the judge mandates that he goes for psychiatric help but just not a slap on the wrist, "said Janes.
According to jail records, Bennett goes before a judge Tuesday morning. There are no previous public charges listed for him in Mobile County.

OAKLAND — It was a scenario unfamiliar to the attorneys who've seen hundreds of murder cases pass through a busy Oakland courthouse: The defendant, an elderly Alameda man, killed his wife out of love to end her chronic pain from illness in the twilight of their life together.
And on Thursday, Jerry "JC" Canfield, 73, was sentenced to three years in state prison for his crime — the low term for voluntary manslaughter in California.
"The law isn't equipped to handle this kind of act that's done with no malice. The law is geared to punish malice, and there's no malice here, so it was difficult to find an appropriate resolution," assistant public defender George Arroyo said in a courthouse hallway Thursday.
Canfield was stoic in an Oakland courtroom as he received his sentence, a little more than a year after he fatally shot his 73-year-old wife, JoAnn Canfield, at their shared Clinton Avenue home on Oct. 26, 2014.
In a letter read aloud in court, JoAnn Canfield's 50-year-old daughter wrote that while it has been hard to accept the manner of her mother's death, she has no ill feelings toward her stepfather.
"I know in my heart he loved my mother so much he didn't want her to suffer … so much he sacrificed his freedom," Lisa Reed wrote. "My biggest regret is I didn't get to say goodbye to my mother."
Attorneys would not divulge the details of JoAnn Canfield's medical condition, which was never made public because her husband struck a deal and pleaded no contest to one count of voluntary manslaughter in October before his scheduled preliminary hearing. Canfield has never spoken publicly about the incident.
But authorities have said that dementia was one of her illnesses, and that would have made her ineligible for assisted suicide under a pending California law expected to take effect this year.
Signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown in October, the End of Life Option Act will allow some terminally ill patients to commit suicide with assistance from a physician. People with a diminished mental capacity will not be eligible.
"In the course of working to pass the End of Life Option Act, some of the most difficult stories for us to hear were from family members of people who had dementia or Alzheimer's or other illness that diminished their mental capacity, and we don't have solution in the law for those situations," said Toni Broaddus, California campaign director for the nonprofit advocacy group Compassion & Choices. "I think our medical system and our legal system are going to figure out how to deal with these cases. I don't think that we know now how to do that."
Canfield's former attorney, now Superior Court Judge Andrew Steckler, said at a 2014 bail hearing that the defendant placed roses at his wife's bedside and tried to kill her with sleeping pills before using a gun.
Many of the couple's neighbors went to that bail hearing in support of Canfield to talk about the couple's love and commitment to each other. Years before JoAnn Canfield became sick, the caregiver role was reversed. She nursed him after he was badly injured in a forklift accident.
Almost unheard of in a murder case, a judge subsequently reduced Canfield's bail from "no bail" to $100,000, which required $10,000 for him to be released from custody. The neighbors, among others, offered to raise money toward his release. Arroyo said Canfield refused; he didn't want anyone's money.
Canfield's history of injuries, and his advanced age and height — 6 feet 7 inches — makes incarceration more challenging for him than the average inmate, Arroyo said, but he is doing "OK." Arroyo said that in his 20 years as a defense attorney, he's never had a client more "honest and forthright and considerate."
"He is doing a lot better now that he can put this behind him," Arroyo said. "He's been in mourning and now, I think, he can start to look forward (to the future).
"This is really a special case, and he is a special guy. It's been a privilege to represent him."
Canfield will have to serve 85 percent of the three-year sentence. He gets credit for time served since his plea in October.
Alameda County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Teresa Drenick said Thursday that prosecutors did a thorough review of the case that took in consideration all they could find out about the victim and Canfield's state of mind before "we concluded justice was best served by this disposition."
Dena Aindow, a DA's office victim advocate, kept in close contact with JoAnn Canfield's daughter through the criminal justice process. Reed wrote in her letter read in court Thursday that she is holding all of Canfield's possessions, and he is welcome to come get them once he is released and ready to start his life anew.
"Her heart is still broken," Aindow said. "She misses her mother."

I went to find the pot of gold
That's waiting where the rainbow ends.
I searched and searched and searched and searched
And searched and searched, and then –
There it was, deep in the grass,
Under an old and twisty bough.
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine at last…
What do I search for now?
by Shel Silverstein
About three years ago I came across a book of children's poems by Shel Silverstein called Where the Sidewalk Ends. I'm not sure where we got the book, I think it was a gift from someone when my oldest child, Maci, was born.
Truthfully, I hadn't read it. I think that my Mom used to read me Shel Silverstein poems when I was a little kid, but I hadn't returned the favour to my children. This book was collecting dust in our basement when I discovered it (while looking for something else). I opened it up for a read, and discovered a fascinating world of creativity and silliness, of which I then shared with my kids.
Then I discovered this gem, the very last poem, in the book. In my opinion this simple poem captures everything that I have learned as an adult in terms of living a fulfilling life – lessons that have proved very costly financially, and emotionally, for me to learn.
True fulfillment is found in the pursuit, not in the actual acquisition.
This was a lesson that was hard for me to learn, as throughout my twenties I was entirely motivated by acquisition – the prizes at the end of the rainbow. The pursuit was a necessary evil to obtain the prize. The prize was what mattered.
What I found out however, was that the prize didn't satisfy. Each time I'd set a goal, and pursue that goal, and actually achieve the resulting prize, it was anticlimactic, and what I realized was that it was the pursuit that I most valued, not the prize.
I also realized that when my motivations were only based on the prize, I'd end up in a place that I didn't want to be, and there was no deeper purpose to my work. That depressed me. I wanted to feel that I was doing work that mattered to me, and it was only when I liberated myself from a "prize-based motivation" mindset, that I actually started to see deeper purpose in my pursuits.
When I made this discovery my whole life seemed to change. The way that I viewed the world became radically different, because I no longer yearned for, or cared about the prizes. I wanted the pursuit. I wanted the challenge. It was the search that gave me the most pleasure, not the pot of gold.
This discovery liberated me. I was no longer hostage to the opinions of others, or the pull of comparison. I became happy for others in their victories. If someone had the latest "duds" and I didn't, I could care less. It wasn't about getting stuff. It wasn't about impressing people. I didn't need any of it to be happy. I just needed the journey, and the journey had to be one that was uniquely mine.
I really believe that embracing this philosophy is the secret to optimal experience, and I also have since learned that this simple poem has intellectual roots in flow psychology. It's what I now teach my kids, not to treasure the rewards, but to embrace the journey.

July 1, 2014, all foods sold to students on the school campus during the
school day, including fundraisers, must meet nutrition standards under the
Smart Snacks rule. Under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010,
flexibility was given to provide exemptions for school-sponsored infrequent
fundraisers that do not meet the standards. State Child Nutrition Agencies
have the authority to set the number of exempted fundraisers permitted per
school year. If the State Agency does not designate a number, it is assumed
that there are no exempted fundraisers. For additional info, see the
full memo.

Are the dimensions on this product listed correctly? If so, I cannot imagine that even the largest size is useful for storing flour etc because it is so small. What do you use them for?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, the listed dimensions are correct. I use the medium size for white and brown sugar (for coffee) and the large for flour, which I don't use a lot of (family of 2) so it's fine. But yes its small; the large does not fit the smallest flour packet.

Raymond Pizarro — 5 star. Jeff Anderson and his crew do a bang up job. I cannot imagine wanting to go anywhere else after being here. The cabins are modern, well furnished, and lots of room. The resort had tons of activities for my kids, to include minnow races, fishing derby, and ice cream sunday making. If you are looking for a relaxing time with the best value I urge you to end your search and make your reservations now.
Timothy J Milo — 5 star. Jeff and his staff welcomed my wife, son, and I to Grand Vu following a deployment to Afghanistan. The resort was in great shape, the cabin spacious and clean, and the harbor was a great place to store the boat in between frequent trips to catch walleye. Thank you for welcoming us and for making our stay so memorable.
Marten Schrage — 4 starGreat weekend with the family. Jeff and the crew make you feel at home. My two daughters had a great time getting to know the other vacationers and the resort pets. Enough stuff to keep my family entertained and a great cabin to relax and grill in in the evening.

We had a great weekend - spent mostly with family. I headed to Spokane on Saturday morning with the three girls to make a bunch of returns. I stopped at six places in all to return "left-over" Christmas items, drop packages off to be shipped back, and exchanged some speakers! Luckily, my Dad and little sister met up with me so I didn't have to take the girls in and out of car seats six plus times!
I forgot to bring a hat for Lauren and it was really cold here - my Dad stole my scarf to wrap around Lauren... she looked pretty cute!
Sunday was all about Mass - we always go at 8am - and then family fun watching the Seahawks. Talk about a roller-coaster game! I didn't watch much of it, just popped in and out of the family room as I was cleaning the kitchen, finishing my cinnamon and orange rolls, keeping track of little girls, and getting Lauren to nap. The mood for about 3/4 of the game was pretty sober... the fourth quarter lit up the room though! I managed to sit down and watch the end of the fourth quarter. It was a hard loss! Hoping for another good run next year though. Luckily, the cinnamon and orange rolls were done and they helped improve the mood!
Sharing my journey as a stay at home mom, a farmer's wife, a (trying to be) woman of faith, and everything in between...

That does sound like a perfect weekend. The dance party sounds like a precious memory, and those cinnamon and orange rolls look to die for! Are they hard to make? My husband would be so happy if I made those.

What is your elevator pitch when someone asks, "What do you do for a living?" I run and gun in the wee hours of the morning to tell stories on the tube for NBC Bay Area.
Describe the path that led you to this career. I've always been a performer, having done a lot of theater in high school & college. TV news requires an element of that as well (the performing part, not the acting.) But no one was biting on the resume tape I put together during an internship at the NBC affiliate in Tampa. Just as I was about to give up on the whole TV thing, I got a call from a news director in Fort Myers, Florida who happened to like the shot on my tape of me walking through a barn full of dead chickens. Funny how that worked out. What I quickly realized: one's writing and news gathering skills are so much more vital to the job than how you look. Or at least it should be.
What are the elements of a successful workplace? People who respect each other's opinions, even when they don't agree. And an understanding that employees do have lives outside of work. I'm lucky to work in a newsroom that has both those elements.
What is the one piece of technology you cannot live without? My iPhone: a marvelous piece of technology that has allowed me to ditch the laptop.
What are you reading? Operation Mincemeat by Ben Macintyre
If you could, what advice would you give your 20-something self? You don't know nearly as much as you think you do. Get your head out of the sand and realize you have a lot to learn.
If you could do anything and know you couldn't fail, what would you do? Standup comedy.
At Double Forte's San Francisco office, the conference rooms are named Rock and Roll, Motown, Hip Hop, Mambo, Jazz and Disco. Which name best describes you and why? Disco because I am always trying so hard to be cool.
What's in your Netflix queue? Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Blood Ties, The Monuments Men, Tim's Vermeer

Millennials Follow Boomers Office Trends/
According to a CBRE study, the millennial generation is not interested in the futuristic office design. CBRE evaluated more than 5,000 office workers in its "Designing the office of the future? Don't plan around it (what you think you know about) U.S. millennials" survey and found millennials prefer privacy in the office environment.
The survey found the millennial generation office preferences are quite similar to the boomers preference. Developers have tried to convert the tech-friendly, urban-minded and smart-phone obsessed trends the millennial generation has become accustomed to into office space. They followed these trends in office construction by removing private offices and making office space more social.
Although the millennial generation enjoys break rooms to socialize in, the generation would prefer private working space. When asked how workers rank "spaces to socialize", 17 percent of the older workers ranked it as important while 31 percent of millennials ranked it as important. Compared to the 17 and 31 percent, 50 percent of all ages agreed that "spaces to think and concentrate" are the most important.
CBRE's study also found office assumptions of urban areas and telecommuting to be faulty. More than half of 20- to 34-year-old workers still live in the suburbs while big city millennials stay around 30 percent. Companies started to transfer to telecommuting believing it would increase productivity, but many companies that made the first transfer began reining works back to their office jobs. Instead of focusing on following the millennial trends, organizations need to focus on providing a balance of social and private work spaces and creating office space where workers want to come in.

text: Irreverent Jokes – Issue #103 The Irreverent Joke Page From Issue #103 The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one-by-one began to tell their stories. "Johnny, do you have a story to share?", the teacher asked. "Yes ma'am," Johnny replied. "My daddy told me a story about my Aunt Nancy. "She was a pilot in Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a small flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break, and then her parachute landed right in the middle of 20 enemy troops. She shot 15 of them with the gun until she ran out of bullets, killed 4 more with the knife till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands." "Good heavens," cried the horrified teacher. "What kind of moral did your daddy give you from this horrible story?" "Stay the hell away from Aunt Nancy when she's drinking." Stocks If you had invested $1000 in Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49. With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000. With WorldCom, you would have less than $5 left. With Delta Airlines, you would have nothing. But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all that beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $134. Based on the above, the best current investment advice I can give you is to drink heavily and recycle. Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me"I know we've been friends for a long time"but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I just can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is." Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?" Cowboys and Muslims Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge in Bozeman, Montana, awaiting their flights. One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer. Another is a cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show, and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East. Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table, and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping, but still no plane comes. Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, "At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few." The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?" The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a drawl, "That's 'cause we ain't played cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin."

Meet The Pros: Ivan Nikčević
Celebrating the 2018 Men's Euro Handball Championship, we present some of the fighters playing in the hummel Aerocharge Trophy handball shoe during the tournament. Here, you can meet Serbian player Ivan Nikčević!
Born in 1981, Serbian left wing player Ivan Nikčević currently plays as Sporting Clube de Portugal and – of course – for the Serbian national team. As he heads out onto court to compete in the 2018 Men's European Handball Championship, we caught him for a quick chat about his best memories and how he started playing.
Throughout your career, you have experienced many highlights – what would be your favorite highlight?
It definitely has to be the 2012 Men's European Handball Championship, where we played against Croatia in front of 24.000 fans in Belgrade.
If you could only use three words to describe your way of playing handball, what would they be?
Dedication, devotion, and effort.
When choosing a handball shoe, what's the most important features for you?
The very first thing is that the fit is good, that my feet feel comfortable in them. The next is that they are soft and I feel stabile wearing them.
Worn By The Pros!
The Aerocharge Trophy is our top-level handball shoe!
Get yours right here and play like the pros!
Growing up as a younger player, who was your biggest idol? Who did you look up to or dream about playing with or against?
I must say that I never had an idol. I was watching the older players and tried to 'steal' something from each one of them. But if I need to choose one left wing player that I respect a lot, it will be Lars Christiansen [who played for the Danish national team from 1992-2012].
What would be your ultimate handball experience – something you haven't yet achieved?
It would be to participate in the EHF Champions League Final Four!

A Crochet Fix for My Email Problem
What do you do when you need to work and your email takes a vacation day?
Well you are forced to look for alternative means of communication. Sometimes I feel we rely a little too much on email. I love any excuse to get up from my desk and go visit someone in person. I am also calling coworkers more, giving us the wonderful opportunity to spend a few minutes just chatting or talking about our latest craft project. That's an opportunity I rarely take in an email.
But I have to give a big shout out to Interweave Crochet's Project Editor Sarah Read for creating the best form of non-email communication I have seen yet.
Many of you may remember Owlivia, a cute crochet amigurumi from Interweave Crochet Summer 2011.
Sarah wrote a note and tied it to Owlivia's leg before tossing it across the room to Interweave Crochet's Assistant Editor Sharon. In case you can't read the words written on the message, it says, "Since I can't send email, I sent an owl." This was Sarah's version of owl post . . . inspired by one of her favorite book series, Harry Potter.
This is evidence to me that there aren't many problems that crochet and a little imagination won't fix. I would love to hear what problems, big or small, crochet has helped to fix in your life.
Best wishes,

We are so glad you found our blog. This is where we enjoy sharing our recent weddings and engagements as well as fun stories about each of the wonderful couples we have had the pleasure of getting to know.
I have fond memories of breakfast time growing up. Sunday mornings I was regularly awoken with the smell of bacon creeping into my bedroom. The sound coming through my door was that of big band or classic rock music being played on the downstairs stereo. I would drag myself out of bed and down the stairs to find my parents playfully chatting away with their black coffee while my dad is standing at the stove with a spatula in his hand. One of the highlights of my dad's weekend was cooking up big family breakfasts; eggs, pancakes, bacon. To this day I will still say that breakfast is most definitely my most favorite meal of the day.
When I heard that Clayton's favorite food was anything breakfast, I knew our love for pancakes, eggs and bacon was something we would easily bond over. On the other hand, Brigitte's favorite food happens to be Mexican, something Marc can easily relate to. Since marriage is all about compromise, we decided to roll up our sleeves and feature a dish that would appeal to both Bridgitte and Clayton. Breakfast Chilaquiles!
One of the things I enjoy most about our little "In The Kitchen" vlog series, is creating dishes we have never tried before. Chilaquiles is one of those such dishes. The idea sounded amazing – salsa drenched tortilla chips with chorizo sausage and an egg sounded yummy to me. This dish did not disappoint; it is something I could easily order if I saw it on a menu. To top it off, we washed it down with a couple of Tequila Sunrises.
We are looking forward to capturing Bridgitte & Clayton's wedding this Friday at the AMAZING Bull Valley Golf Club. In the meantime, enjoy our little video.
Breakfast Chilaquiles
8oz chorizo
10 corn tortillas
2 cups of salsa
2 eggs
1 avocado
1/2 sliced small onion

3D Deathchase is a 1983 computer game written for the ZX Spectrum by Mervyn Estcourt and published by Micromega in the UK and Ventamatic in Spain.
The player controls a motorcycle-riding mercenary as he pursues two other motorcycles, one blue and one yellow, through a forest. Each enemy motorcycle destroyed is worth $1000 (i.e. points) to the player. The player's motorcycle is equipped with forward-firing guns with which to shoot its quarry. The projectiles can be controlled mid-flight simply by steering the bike. If both enemy motorcycles are destroyed, the player moves to a night version of the same level. If both enemy motorcycles on that level are destroyed, the player moves on to a daytime level of the next stage (with more trees to avoid). There are also tanks and helicopters which appear on the horizon and can be shot for bonus points.
The game takes place over eight stages. When stage eight is completed, the game returns to the start.
Critical response
It received a positive reaction from the gaming press, garnering praise for what was then an advanced form of 3D gameplay. A contemporary review in the ZX Spectrum gaming magazine CRASH described 3D Deathchase as "an extremely simple idea for a game, and utterly compelling to play" and awarded the game 92%. In 1992 it was nominated as the best Spectrum game ever in the magazine Your Sinclair.
Andrew Leyden's remake, Death Chase 2002 was highlighted in Edge magazine's Retro special. It was described as 'pleasant enough' but lacking the feel of the original.
The 'PlayStation Home' Alternate Reality Game 'Xi' featured a minigame based on the premise of '3D Deathchase' in which a player controlled a motorbike to weave through a forest of trees and pursue a helicopter.

Zoning, Special permit, Gasoline station.
In a zoning appeal, a Land Court judge correctly concluded that a landowner's installation, without authority, of three gasoline storage tanks on its property was not protected by the statute of limitations in G. L. c. 40A, s. 7. [127-128]
This court concluded that the defendant town zoning board of appeals (board) properly required the plaintiff landowner to obtain a special permit for extension or alteration of a nonconforming use under G. L. c. 40A, s. 6, where the plaintiff sought to store more gasoline on its property than allowed under the town's by-law [128-129]; and that the board could have rationally concluded that the additional gasoline storage the plaintiff proposed would be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing storage [129-131].
CIVIL ACTION commenced in the Land Court Department on April 19, 1995.
The case was heard by Peter W. Kilborn, C.J.
Daniel E. Dilorati for the plaintiff.
Barbara J. Saint Andre for the defendant.
MILLS, J. The landowner, Cumberland Farms, Inc. (CFI), appeals from a Land Court judgment which affirmed, on a zoning appeal pursuant to G. L. c. 40A, § 17, the decision of the zoning board of appeals of Walpole (board). The board denied CFI's requests for special permits to alter and extend CFI's nonconforming use of its property (locus) for the storage and retail sale of gasoline. On appeal, CFI asserts that (1) its use of the locus is protected by the ten-year "statute of limitations" in G. L. c. 40A, § 7; (2) its use is, in any event, nonconforming
Page 125
and subject to the protection of G. L. c. 40A, § 6, and does not require the special permits that were applied for and denied; and (3) if special permits were required, the judge should have ordered their issuance because the board was arbitrary or capricious in denying them. We affirm.
1. Background. [Note 1] The locus is located on Washington Street in Walpole, in a "B" (for business) zoning district, and is currently the site of a gasoline service station, retail store, and restaurant. The locus is also located in the town's water resource protection overlay district (WRPD), [Note 2] according to the Walpole zoning by-law. Gasoline service stations are prohibited in the B district.
In 1972, CFI [Note 3] installed three 6,000 gallon gasoline tanks, although it had received municipal approval to install only three 4,000 gallon tanks. These were intended to replace two 1,000 gallon tanks that were historically used for the storage and sale of gasoline, a nonconforming use. [Note 4]
The town's board of health, in March of 1994, advised CFI that it was required to replace the tanks installed in 1972 in order to comply with that board's underground fuel and chemical storage regulations mandating the removal of tanks older than twenty years. As a result, on July 11, 1994, CFI applied to the town's fire chief for a permit to replace the three 6,000 gallon tanks with one 6,000 gallon and one 12,000 gallon tank. The chief approved the permit. By letter dated July 27, 1994, CFI was advised that the board of health had approved the replacements. CFI then submitted plans for the replacement of the tanks and an application for a building permit to the town's
Page 126
building inspector. On or about September 1, 1994, CFI received a building permit to remove the existing tanks and to install one 6,000 and one 12,000 gallon tank in their place. The two tanks were immediately installed. However, a few weeks later, the building inspector, acting as the town's zoning enforcement officer, ordered CFI to comply with the board's 1972 letter dated September 26, which had approved the installation of three 4,000 gallon tanks, thus limiting gasoline storage to 12,000 gallons pending approval of an increase by the board. Likewise, the fire chief advised CFI that gasoline storage would be limited to 12,000 gallons, pending approval of an increase by the board.
As a result, CFI applied to the board for two separate special permits to allow full utilization of the two tanks to a total capacity of 18,000 gallons. [Note 5] The first special permit application referenced § 3-G-(2) of the zoning by-law, which pertains to the extension, alteration, change or rebuilding of pre-existing, nonconforming structures or uses. [Note 6] The second application was pursuant to § 10-D-3-(a)-1, which requires a special permit for the expansion of an existing nonconforming use within the WRPD. [Note 7] On the first application the board voted to deny, but
Page 127
subject to certain conditions. [Note 8] The board denied the second application, the special permit for expansion of a nonconforming use within the WRPD. Additional facts will be mentioned as appropriate to our discussion.
2. General Laws c. 40A, § 7 -- enforcement limitations. The Land Court judge correctly denied CFI's motion for summary judgment, as the installation, without authority, of the three 6,000 gallon tanks was not and is not protected by the "statute of limitations" in G. L. c. 40A, § 7, as amended through St. 1989, c. 341, § 21, which provides, in pertinent part:
"[N]o action, criminal or civil, the effect or purpose of which is to compel the removal, alteration, or relocation of any structure by reason of any alleged violation of the provisions of this chapter, or any ordinance or by-law adopted thereunder, or the conditions of any variance or special permit, shall be maintained, unless such action, suit or proceeding is commenced and notice thereof recorded in the registry of deeds for each county or district in which the land lies within ten years next after the commencement of the alleged violation" (emphasis supplied).
The three 6,000 gallon tanks are no longer in the ground -- those unlawful tanks were replaced by the existing tanks. The existing structures on the site, as we have noted, have not yet been there for ten years. [Note 9] Additionally, there is no civil or criminal action initiated by the town or any agency in this case; rather, this is a zoning appeal initiated by CFI. Further, no
Page 128
removal, alteration or relocation of any structure is required or sought by the board. Finally, we see no merit in CFI's argument that the 12,000 gallon capacity limitation somehow constitutes alteration of the structure. If anything, it is a limitation of its approved lawful capacity.
3. Special permit requirement. CFI seeks authority to maintain two tanks, one 6,000 gallons and one 12,000 gallons, where the town, in 1972, allowed three 4,000 gallon tanks. CFI seeks to use the currently existing tanks to capacity, i.e., to store 18,000 gallons of gasoline when the town has authorized maximum storage of 12,000 gallons. The board properly required CFI to obtain a special permit for extension or alteration of a nonconforming use under G. L. c. 40A, § 6. General Laws c. 40A, § 6, as amended by St. 1975, c. 808, § 3, provides, in pertinent part, that the provisions of a town's zoning by-law:
"shall apply to any change or substantial extension of such [nonconforming] use . . . , to any reconstruction, extension or structural change of such structure and to any alteration of a structure . . . to provide for its use for . . . the same purpose . . . to a substantially greater extent . . . . Pre-existing nonconforming structures or uses may be extended or altered, provided, that no such extension or alteration shall be permitted unless there is a finding by the permit granting authority or by the special permit granting authority designated by ordinance or by-law that such change, extension or alteration shall not be substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood." (Emphasis supplied.)
CFI's proposal is, at the least, an extension of a nonconforming use and a change to nonconforming structures and thus is subject to the requirement of a special permit under the zoning by-law. [Note 10]
CFI argues that no special permit was required from the board because the expansion of storage capacity from 12,000 to 18,000 gallons is not a "change or substantial extension" of the nonconforming use, see c. 40A, § 6, under the test enunciated
Page 129
in Bridgewater v. Chuckran, 351 Mass. 20 , 23 (1966). [Note 11] However, CFI did not appeal from the building inspector's order, but instead filed applications for special permits. Accordingly, CFI cannot now, in effect, challenge the validity of the order or the requirement of a special permit, where CFI failed to appeal, and instead applied for the special permits. See Bonfatti v. Zoning Bd. of Appeals of Holliston, 48 Mass. App. Ct. 46 , 49-50 (1999). The failure to exhaust administrative remedies is jurisdictional in nature, and the court may not hear the matter if it was not appealed to the local board of appeals. McDonald's Corp. v. Seekonk, 12 Mass. App. Ct. 351 , 353 (1981).
4. Denial (with conditions) of the special permit. As we have noted, note 8, supra, the board's decision sanctioned the continued existence of the two tanks, but denied permission to increase the storage capacity from 12,000 to 18,000 gallons of gasoline. The board, noting that the tanks and gasoline sales are prohibited in the district under current zoning, stated that the increased capacity of the tanks expanded the nonconformity and presented a clear detriment to the immediate neighborhood. Thus, the board concluded, allowance of the special permit would derogate from the purpose and intent of the zoning by-law and would be a clear detriment to the public good. The decision evidences the seriousness accorded by the board to the storage of any gasoline at this location. The board noted the history of the site and, implicitly, the board's lack of confidence in the applicant's attention to compliance with the town's lawful regulations. While the board's decision sanctioned the continued existence of the two tanks, more likely than not, the board could have lawfully exercised discretion to require removal of the tanks. The board's action here (i.e., limitation of tank usage to 12,000 gallons instead of requiring removal of the tanks) hardly seems arbitrary or capricious.
CFI argues that the board's decision is arbitrary and capricious for three principal reasons: (1) larger tank capacity would result in fewer deliveries and, consequently, reduce risk of
Page 130
delivery spills; (2) the new state-of-the-art tanks are less likely to leak, compared with the removed tanks; and (3) the board's stated reasons for denial were a pretext, and the real reason was punitive and in retaliation for CFI's historic noncompliance with zoning requirements.
The standards utilized by the local board, and, on appeal, the trial court, in considering the question of substantial detriment, have been reiterated in Britton v. Zoning Bd. of Appeals of Gloucester, 59 Mass. App. Ct. 68 , 72-77 (2003) (hereinafter Britton). There this court reversed a decision of the Superior Court that had reversed the order of the local zoning board denying a special permit application under G. L. c. 40A, § 6, to allow an addition to a nonconforming single family home on a nonconforming lot. Id. at 77. We noted that,
"[i]n other contexts, we have held that it is 'the board's evaluation of the seriousness of the problem, not the judge's, which is controlling.' We have also held that '[s]o long as "any reason on which the board can fairly be said to have relied has a basis in the trial judge's findings and is within the standards of the zoning by-law and The Zoning Enabling Act, the board's action must be sustained regardless of other reasons which the board may have advanced." ' " (Citations omitted.)
Id. at 76.
As in Britton, supra at 76, "[t]here is no reason to depart from those principles here. The deference owed the board regarding the seriousness or the adverse . . . impact" upon the town's interest in the watershed and the integrity of the judgment of its town meeting, as evidenced in the zoning by-law, was properly recognized by the trial judge.
The board reasoned that the expansion requested was for a use generally prohibited in the zoning district, and specifically at odds with the obvious intent and purpose of the WRPD. These are reasons that are legally appropriate and substantial. Neither the board nor the trial judge was required to find compelling CFI's inartfully documented argument that larger capacity necessarily translates into fewer deliveries. Nor was the board or trial judge required to believe that the installation
Page 131
(as mandated by local board of health regulation) of more modern tanks should somehow compel justification for an increase in the amount of gasoline storage. To the extent that the board considered the problematic zoning history of the site, both the board and the court were warranted in their hesitation to credit the conscientiousness of CFI in managing gasoline storage in the watershed district.
"[T]he question for the court is whether, on the facts the judge has found, any rational board could conclude" that the additional gasoline storage proposed by CFI "would be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood" than the existing 12,000 gallons of storage. Britton, 59 Mass. App. Ct. at 74. This element of review "is highly deferential . . . and gives the board discretion to deny a permit application even if the facts found by the court would support its issuance." Ibid. "[T]he board's discretionary power of denial extends up to those rarely encountered points where no rational view of the facts the court has found supports the board's conclusion that the applicant failed to meet one or more of the relevant criteria found in the governing statute or by-law." Id. at 74-75. Here, the board's view of the facts has a rational basis -- that a substantial increase in stored gasoline in a water protection resource district, where the use is otherwise prohibited, would be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood. The board would not have been irrational to fear that a fifty percent increase in gasoline storage would pose a substantially greater risk to the town's water supply in the event of a leak. This is not an instance where the board denied a permit "simply by conjuring a parade of horribles, particularly when it [had] the power to prevent them." Id. at 75. Nor do "[w]e think the board erred [by taking into account] as bearing upon [the] present decision, a putative problem to be faced in the indefinite future upon now uncertain facts." Ibid., quoting from Fitzsimonds v. Board of Appeals of Chatham, 21 Mass. App. Ct. 53 , 57 (1985).
The judgment of the Land Court is affirmed.
So ordered.
[Note 1] We take the essential facts from those found by the judge. There appears no substantial dispute as to the underlying facts.
[Note 2] The town obtains all of its water supply from wells, and the locus is in area 1 of the WRPD, the zone that charges the wells.
[Note 3] In 1972, title to the locus was held by V.S.H. Realty, Inc., which was dissolved and merged into CFI in 1984. We refer to the property owner as "CFI."
[Note 4] We recognize the distinction between uses and structures. The two tanks were nonconforming structures; the sale of gasoline, a nonconforming use. We assume that both nonconformities were lawful prior to 1972, as the town has made no assertion to the contrary, and the subsequent proceedings appear to acknowledge lawfulness of the replaced tanks and the historic gasoline sales.
[Note 5] CFI also applied for site plan approval, but that application and the board's action thereon is not part of this appeal.
[Note 6] Sections 3-G-(1) and (2) of the by-law are as follows:
"(1) Continuation
"Any lawful building or structure, or use of a building or structure, or land, existing at the time this by-law or any amendment thereto takes effect may be continued although not conforming to the provisions thereof.
"(2) Repair and Restoration of Non-conforming Buildings
"Pre-existing, nonconforming structures, or uses may be extended, altered, changed or rebuilt only by Special Permit from the Board of Appeals. Any such rebuilding, change, extension or alteration shall not be more detrimental than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood."
There then follow exemptions from the requirement of a special permit, none of which apply here.
[Note 7] Section 10-D-3-(a)-1 recites that expansion of existing nonconforming uses in area 1 of the WRPD is permitted only "under the terms of a Special Permit issued by the Board."
[Note 8] In a unique "denial," the board stated as a "condition" of its denial that "[n]o more than 12,000 gallons of gasoline shall be stored on the site between the two tanks." The board in its decision stated that violation of the condition "can result in [an order] mandating the removal of the tanks and return to the condition authorized by previous decision of the Board." The judge ruled that this procedurally unusual resolution effectively sanctioned "the continued existence of the two tanks, provided the 12,000 gallon limitation is observed [constituting], [i]n effect . . . a grant of special permits under sections 3-G-(2) and 10-D-(3)-(a)-(1) of the by-law changing the existing non-conforming use." This part of the judge's decision is not discussed by the parties.
[Note 9] To the extent CFI argues that it was entitled by right to replace a lawful pre-existing nonconforming structure, the limitation period of G. L. c. 40A, § 7, does not render the prior structure lawful, just immune from enforcement action. Cf. Mendes v. Board of Appeals of Barnstable, 28 Mass. App. Ct. 527 , 528-531 (1990). See part 3, infra.
[Note 10] See note 6, supra.
[Note 11] Again, Mendes v. Board of Appeals of Barnstable, see note 9, supra, suggests that a G. L. c. 40A, § 6, analysis rests upon a false premise unless the prior use (or structure) is lawful as well as nonconforming. See Whitten v. Board of Appeals of Woburn, 38 Mass. App. Ct. 949 , 950 (1995).
