Business Goals and VA Form 21-526
Posted by James Jett on June 20, 2007
All month long I have been involved in a debate about how I should proceed, some tried to get me to do a public relation thing —TV talk-show radio and public appearances. Being a semi private person I refused and prevailed. My argument , and they all agree, is we need to have a national present on the internet, in fact an international present on the internet. Some in a group of fifteen feel that I would be better at the public relations via the old media and some one else could build a present on the internet. Sure , many people can do more with a computer and software programs than I can but I have the knowledge and experience in the social, civil and business goals we plan to put in place. Add to that my total like of fear, and my freedom that will make an "Eagle jealous". I am sure many of you know the subjects that get discussed when you are planning a social, civil and business agenda. Yes it is about the veterans and the need for some of them to consider starting a business or expanding their present business so more of us can find employment, earn an income and take care of our self and our family. One promise, I will discuss this topic in the future so many times until some will be saying it when they are asleep.
But now I need to update you on the progress I am making with the VA (Veteran Administration) and hopefully staying on schedule to be in business by years end. To that end, I completed VA form 21-526, this is the form you fill out to apply for Compensation and or Pension. I need to apply because my records were destroyed in the 1976 fire and my medical records in the hospital in Korea is missing or destroyed also. Theyfore anytime I can give information about my service in the military I fulfill the VA's request to send any and all information I have to replace my military history. Like most people I have filled out many forms in this long life on earth, but to me this is the most difficult because I was asked to go back in my medical history including the name and address for all the doctors, hospitals plus any other place I received medical care, and tell them every treatment I received, and sign the permission sheet giving them the right to get that information about my pass medical problems. Since I plan to discuss this form and its requirements in a future post let me tell you why I spent a week filling out the complete form, all by myself no help from the VA.
Yes you can go to the nearest VA office and they will help you fill out the form. Just check all the things you need on the checklist and get you to the VA office nearest you! But my reason is more business than benefits, if I can establish that my injury on the front lines in Korea is the cause of my problems with my eyes, nose and legs I will be classified as a veteran with a disability, meaning I will be fast tracked when I get my company started. Please read my notes www.mopspops.wordpress.com/read-my-notes/ With this designation I will get help in securing a contract with the federal and state governments. And without the need to locate in a HUB ( Historically Underutilized Business) zone.

From the classroom to the boardroom, young girls and women of color are often faced with obstacles. Many of them find themselves marginalized due to their race and gender. The Obama administration has made it a priority to combat those issues. On Thursday, at a White House event, the Council on Women and Girls released a report that highlights the progress that has been made in regards to advancing equity for women and girls of color.
In 2015, the council unveiled the Advancing Equity for Women and Girls of Color report which detailed steps that the Obama administration would take towards creating more opportunities for girls and women of color. Among those steps were "reducing unnecessary exclusionary school discipline," exposing girls and women to career paths in the realm of STEM, lowering the number of teen pregnancies, and creating more opportunities for economic prosperity. The 2016 report serves as a follow-up and illustrates the impact that those steps have had on shaping the future for girls and women of color. According to the report, the teen pregnancy rate has hit an all-time low and high school graduation rates for women have reached record highs. Women also account for more than half of college graduates.
"The Obama Administration has taken important steps forward in elevating, and addressing, key issues that cause disparities for women and girls of color, and women and girls from marginalized and underserved populations," read a statement released by The White House. "Moreover, the call to action around this work has inspired philanthropic leaders, academic institutions, and non-profit organizations to continue efforts that sustain and build upon the successes achieved in improved life outcomes for women and girls of color and their peers."

Last year my Uncle gave me a copy of the soundtrack to Avenue Q, a Broadway musical. He hasn't seen it yet, and neither have I despite trying to get tickets during my last two trips to New York. The soundtrack is hilarious (and catchy) but I had to see the show. As it happened, the traveling show came to Des Moines this week.
It's like a demented adult Sesame Street where puppets and people mingle in a New York neighborhood, except Bert and Ernie are odd couple Rod and Nicky with repressed homosexual issues. There's a Trekkie Monster and sarcastic former child star Gary Coleman (played by a woman–he has not personally starred in any version of the show that I'm aware of) is the landlord. Gary sings the delightful and ironic number "Schadenfreude".
The puppeteers are on stage in full view of the audience, and despite their dark stage clothes enrich the puppets with their body language, facial expressions, and dancing. It was very well staged. Not only that, but everyone had great voices. We had a great time, and if it plays near you, it is worth driving a couple of hours to see.

The spiral drill collar is made of three right-handed spiral grooves on the cylindrical surface of the circular drill collar. In the external thread joint part with a 305~560 mm, internal thread end joint part with a 457~610 mm processing spiral groove round drill collar, to facilitate loading and unloading operation and repairing. The weight is less than 4% of the round drill collar of the same size.
In directional drilling, because the inclined shaft is larger, the contact area between the drilling collar and the shaft lining is large, and the sticking and sticking drill is easier to occur. The spiral drill collar reduces the contact area with the shaft lining, so it has been widely adopted.

NOSAIRIS (also known as Ansayrii, sometimes Ansariyeh), the people who inhabit the mountainous country of N. Syria, which is bounded on the S. by the north end of the Lebanon at the Nahr el-Kebir (Eleutherus), on the N. by Mt Casius, Antioch and the Nahr el-'Asi (Orontes). Various settlements of them are found also in Antioch itself and in Tarsus, Adana, and a few other places, while in harvest time they come down as far as the Biqa (Buka'a). From the time of Strabo until about two centuries ago, the country was famed for its wine, but now more for its tobacco (especially at Latakia). The total number of Nosairis inhabiting this country is variously estimated at from 120,000 to 150,000. The origin of the name Nosairi is uncertain. Among the more possible explanations is that the name is derived from that of Mahommed ibn Nusair, who was an Isma`ilite follower of the eleventh imam of the Shiites at the end of the 9th century. This view has been accepted by Nosairi writers, but they transfer Ibn Nusair to the 7th century and make him the son of the vizier of Moawiya I., while another tradition (cf. Abulfeda, Geog. vol. ii. p. 11, No. 7) identifies him with Nusair, a freedman of the caliph `Ali. It is, however, noteworthy that Pliny (Hist. nat. v. 81) gives the name Nazerini to the inhabitants of this district. In this part of Syria paganism remained even up to the middle ages (cf. Archives de l'Orient latin, vol. ii. 2, p. 375), and there is a complete absence of churches of the 5th to the 7th centuries in these mountains. In the 7th century the Arabs invaded Syria, but do not seem to have got into these mountains. At the end of the loth century, however, the Isma`-ilite propaganda won some success among the people. Their strongholds were taken by Raymond in 1099, and later Tancred secured the very summits. In 1132—1140 the Assassins (q.v.) gained possession of their chief towns, but Saladin recovered them in 1188. In 1317 the sultan Bibars endeavoured to convert them to orthodox Islam, and built many mosques, but Ibn Batuta (i. 177) says they did not use them. A fatwa of Ibn Taimiyya (d. 1327) of this time shows that the Nosairis were regarded with fear and hatred by the orthodox. For the next 5oo years they were given over to their own internal disputes, until they came under the power of Ibrahim Pasha in 1832. At the present time they are under the direct ad-ministration of the Turks. The religion of the Nosairis seems to have been almost the same in the first years of the 5th century A.H. (11th century A.D.)as it is to-day, judging by the references in the.sacred books of the Druses. As set forth in their own sacred book, the Majmu`, it seems to be a syncretism of Isma`ilite doctrines and the ancient heathenism of Harran. The ages of the world are seven in number, each of these having its own manifestation of deity. But the manifestation of the 7th age is not a Mandi who is yet to come, but the historical person `Ali ibn abu Talib. This is stated in the crudest form in Sura 11 of the Majmu`: " I testify that there is no god but `Ali ibn abu Talib." `Ali is also called the Ma'na (" Idea "; cf. the Logos of the New Testament), hence the Nosairis are also called the Ma`nawiyya. `Ali created Mahomet, who is known as the Ism (" Name "), and a trinity is formed by the addition of Salman ul-Farisi, who is the Bab (" Door "), through whom the propaganda is made, and through whom one comes to God. A mysterious symbol much used in their ceremonies of initiation consists of the three letters `Ain, Mim, Sin, these being the initials of `Ali, Mahomet and Salman. Of these three, however, `Ali is the supreme. In Sura 6 of the' Majmu` the Nosairi says: " I make for the Door, I prostrate myself before the Name, I worship the Idea." Each of the seven manifestations of God in the ages of the world has been opposed by an adversary. The Nosairis are divided into four sects. (1) The Haidaris (from the name haidari, " lion," given to `Ali on account of his valour) are the most advanced. (2) The Shamalis or Shamsis preserve many traces of the old nature-worship, `Ali (i.e. the supreme god) is the heaven, Mahomet is the sun, Salman the moon. (3) On the other hand the Kalazis, so named from a sheik Mahommed ibn Kalazi (cf. E. Salisbury in the Journal of the American Oriental Society, viii. 237), or Qamaris, hold that the supreme god (`Ali) is the moon, not the sun. Their poetry addressed to the moon is translated by C. Huart in the Journal asiatique, ser. vii. vol. xiv. pp. Igo if. (4) The Ghaibis are worshippers of the air, for God is invisible. In this they come nearer to the ordinary Isma`ilite doctrine. Religion is restricted among the Nosairis to the initiated, who must be adults over fifteen years of age and of Nosairi parentage. The initiator, who must not be a relative, becomes a spiritual father, and the relation cannot be broken except by his consent. The initiation consists of three stages. In the first the novice is received and told to meditate on the three mystic letters; in the second, after a period of forty days, he is taught the titles of the 16 suras of the Majmu`; in the third, after seven or nine months (intended to correspond with the ordinary period of gestation), he is taught Suras 5, 6 and g, learns the meaning of the three mystic letters and goes through a further period of instruction from his initiator. The initiated are divided into two classes, the sheiks, who are recruited from the families of sheiks only, and the ordinary members. The Nosairis are believers in metempsychosis. The pious Nosairi takes his rank among the stars, but the body of the impious undergoes many transformations.End of Article: NOSAIRIS (also known as Ansayrii, sometimes Ansariyeh)

Talkin' 'Bout My Generation
It's no secret that the attention span of the average B2B attendee is shrinking. And why shouldn't it? With increasing access of mobile phones and Internet, we have access to massive amounts of data and information flowing through our fingertips with every tap of our mobile devices. Additionally, the audience demographics are shifting as more millennials take their seats in general sessions. The millennial generation is significantly more connected to technology than any before them, so the way they consume information will be unlike generations past. And don't always assume that "millennial" is based on age; the definition also includes habits and lifestyle. A 56-year-old can very well have adopted millennial behaviors.
So how can we engage this rapidly growing audience of millennials? It's likely you already know some of these tips. It's more important to start doing them.
Rise Above the Noise
With so much going on (technology, social media, etc.) you're going to have to do something that grabs their attention. As a tech-savvy group, an easy way to engage a millennial is to bring a digital solution to your event. Millennials love to connect with people and interact on the cloud. Take advantage of the device they are already carrying and use it to communicate your messages and connect them to your brand. Whether it's adding a mobile app or introducing gamification based on your brand, make sure it's relevant and serves a clear purpose… and more importantly, that it has some sort of action. Millennials don't just want to be handed information. They want to interact and be involved. This could include be live polling, games, check-ins, networking and discussion boards.
Short and Sweet
The average millennial stops listening at the 30-minute mark so keep presentations short and avoid busy-looking PowerPoint slides. A great lesson comes from TED Talks: not only are the presentations a mere 18 minutes, the speakers are generally engaging and humanize their content. And let them talk. Millennials are active participants so they want to be heard. Before a presentation, ask them what they want to hear about. Allowing them the opportunity to voice their interests gives you the ability to craft a keynote that is important to them.
Network, Network, Network
Allow ample time for networking. If there's one thing millennials are really good at, it's networking. They do it all the time on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. They crave the chance to meet people.
Experience of a Lifetime
Millennials want to be more than spectators; they want to be a part of experiences. In other words, don't talk at them about your brand. Instead, infuse them into your brand. You'll be pleased to know that by practicing this, millennials will carry out marketing and promotions of your brand for you. How? There are a number of ways to do this…let them take photos of themselves with your brand and post it on Instagram. Or let them play with your brand physically. Live demonstrations are also more interesting than diagrams and charts.
How have you engaged your millennial audience?
DISCOVERED! Pican Restaurant Gets 5 Stars

The food is richly decadent and the drinks are unique. I recommend drinking a Black Hand: bourbon, basil, balsamic syrup and ginger beer. DELICIOUS! My only warning is: Do NOT go while dieting.

Discovered! IVC Chicago Favorite Foods, Part 1
Hello! It's Andy from Chicago. One of the unique features of Chicago is that once you get out of downtown, the city is made up of dozens of neighborhoods. The neighborhoods are where the people live, shop, dine and stroll. On a human level. Street level.
The IVC Chicago office is in just such a neighborhood—Northcenter. Far from downtown, our neighborhood is comprised of a few main thoroughfares along side streets lined with single family homes of all shapes and sizes. Along the main streets are a dizzying array of restaurants, coffee shops, taverns, diners, sushi, Thai, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern, Mexican, Cuban, Colombian, Irish, German, pizza and encased meats (hot dogs-no ketchup).
So as a public service, the colleagues at IVC Chicago have taken it upon ourselves to do a careful analysis of the variety, quality, value and overall customer experience. Consider this a first salvo in the continuing search for the best lunches available in the North Center / Lincoln Square neighborhood of IVC Chicago.
Nhu Lahn Bakery
A tiny, almost invisible, little Vietnamese bakery close by was listed by the Chicago Tribune as having one of "the top 25 sandwiches in Chicago": Lemongrass marinated tofu Banh Mi. The bread is a huge factor, fresh baked Vietnamese baguettes stuffed with this marinated tofu that could get past a pork lover if you didn't tip him off. Crisp cucumbers, jalapenos carrot and cilantro combine and surprise. Rod Mickels, IVC CEO said, "This is a great sandwich." Check it out on Yelp
Sultan's Market
This is a favorite delivery option for the Chicago office. This is what we usually are eating during the monthly staff meetings: falafel and lamb shawarma sandwiches, hummus and pita. Spicy for me, medium for everyone else. We like to think it's a healthy choice, because it's vegetarian-but we pig out on it so it isn't exactly like diet food. Check it out on Yelp
Hot Doug's
Chicago's finest 'sausage superstore and encased meats emporium': gourmet fois gras dogs, the Elvis polish: (smoked and savory, just like the king), the Brigitte Bardot (Andouille sausage and mighty hot!). Cognac and Bacon Pheasant Sausage with Chevre Cream, Wild Boar Pate and Truffle-Balsamic Drizzle. And be sure to get at least 1 order of the fresh cut fries cooked in duck fat. Serious indulgence. The line goes out the door and on a nice day, you might wait half an hour or more, but you make friends, and by the time you order and your food comes up, there's a table ready. We have to jump in a car to go to Hot Doug's but we still consider him part of our neighborhood. Check it out on Yelp
In the next food blog from IVC Chicago, we'll do a tavern crawl for lunch: Bad Dog Tavern, The Bad Apple and the Globe Pub. Two of them have good food. Stay tuned to find out which…

C&O Canal National Historical Park
The National Park Service NPS) is developing a comprehensive master plan for a one-mile section of the Chesapeake and Ohio National Historical Park (C&O Canal NHP) in Georgetown. NPS, Georgetown Heritage, and the D.C. Office of Planning are working with the community to develop ways to restore, reimagine, and revitalize this treasured historic place.
- C100 Comments On The National Park Service Environmental Assessment Of The C&O Canal National Historical Park Georgetown Plan
- January 5, 2018, Stephen A. Hansen
The concept plan offers excellent ideas, including refilling the canal, restarting canal boat rides, adding a new visitor center, improved signage, and grading the towpath for safety. The canal has endured repeated and severe floods, scouring the canal and damaging its structure. Therefore, for the concept plan to succeed, every alternative selected must be sustainable, able to withstand flooding. For example, flood-vulnerable alternatives such as boardwalks, elevators, new flower beds, and alternatives B and C for the towpath should be re-evaluated.
- C100 Section 106 Review Comments On The October 2017 C&O Canal Concept Plan
- January 5, 2018, Stephen A. Hansen
We applaud the National Park Service's, Georgetown Heritage's, and The Georgetown Business Improvement's interest in rehabilitating and increasing public enjoyment and access to the one-mile C&O Canal section in Georgetown. However, these laudable goals must not be achieved at the expense of the Canal's historic character and significant constituent elements. Such appears to be the likely outcome in many of the Plan design alternatives and, if built, will result in significant adverse impacts to the Canal as defined under Section 106 (36 CFR Part 800 Protection of Historic Properties), National Historic Preservation Act (P.L. 89-665; 54 U.S.C. 300101 et seq).

How Digital is Changing Advertising Habits
Tom Eslinger, Digital Creative Director, Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide, is interviewed by the Guardian "on how digital is changing advertising habits, branding and old ways of thinking". Eslinger will be a speaker at the Guardian Changing Media Summit 2011.What are your favourite examples of innovation in the advertising industry?
There are two sides to this in my mind: cool ideas that connect in a social space to move a business and brand forward and just plain cool stuff that pushes out technology and gives us something to aspire to (and kick the ass of!). So, a favourite will be something with a great idea at its core together with a unique twist on the technology or media channel, as the icing on the cake. I'm reeling off examples that get used in mash-up pitch descriptions: 'it's groundbreaking idea 1 meets groundbreaking idea 2!!'. This line-up includes EOS magazine's Talking Tree, Nokia's PUSH mash-up with Burton Snowboards, Cerebra Electronica's brain neuron-powered interactive buildings, Old Spice, Tron:Legacy, The Wilderness Downtown, Nike FreeCity and the lovely iButterfly.Has behavioural targeting in advertising reached its full potential?
This is at the beginning of a long and possibly scary journey. Amongst the increasing traffic on the road are mobile devices, ubiquitous connectivity and location-specific information, some of which isn't even there, thanks to mobile AR like Google Goggles; together with augmented reality and all the freaky 3D stuff that's coming on-stream. Match that up with gathering information at key times and places about people's social interaction and you've got micro-targeted messages that not only live virtually in physical spaces, but also over time.
Essentially we are becoming a planet-sized media space; every square inch is being marked, photographed, driven-through and tagged. We could be creating for dynamic, mobile ad space on Buckingham Palace soon, crowd-sourcing thousands of tourist pics into virtual-mass-composed soft drink ads. Let's hope the Master Control Program from Tron doesn't get wind of this or it will be "All over, Rover!"Will there be a new dawn of local advertising?
Yes, absolutely! The local will be around devices and people connecting and sharing socially, linked around time, place and interests. For example, the 'community' of people that love "Paris in the Spring" is a virtual 'place' and will eventually have it's own micro-advertising ecosystem. String enough of those highly lucrative 'communities' together and you've got yourself a media and creative business. And if you do, give us a call…

The simplicity of design and utilitarian profile makes the Treviso Suspension Light by Ai Lati a great addition to any décor scheme. Defined by a circular shape and simple curves, this suspension light features a strong framework that supports the lampshade made using satin finish triplex opal blown glass. It is fixed at the hollow center to emit light from all sides. The frame is finished in white, white/black and white/grey options. It is available in small, medium, large and extra-large sizes. The small-size version uses an E26 bulb of 60W power to function, while the medium-size light uses two bulbs and large-size lamp uses three bulbs. The extra-large version uses five 75W bulbs.

President Peña Nieto announces short-term plans for accelerating the reform's implementation.
On August 11, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto announced that federal legislation was enacted to implement the constitutional reform of the energy sector that was passed by the Mexican congress on December 16, 2013.[1] In total, the president enacted nine new acts, including the much-awaited Hydrocarbons Act and the Electricity Industry Act, and amended 12 existing acts and codes.
During the ceremony, President Peña Nieto listed 10 actions that his government will carry out in the short term to accelerate the energy reform's implementation. These actions include the announcement on August 13 of the fields that Pemex—the Mexican state-owned petroleum company—will keep for exploration and production activities (Round Zero) and the fields that will be included in the first round of exploration and production activities with private parties (Round One).
If you have any questions or would like more information on the issues discussed in this LawFlash, please contact any of the following Morgan Lewis lawyers:

Effective Administration of Secondary Schools in Cross River State, Nigeria: A Panacea for Academic Excellence
Udoh-Uwah Okon Effiong
Department of Educational Administration/Planning University Of Calabar, Calabar
doi: 10.7237/sjsa/214
Accepted on May 21, 2015; Available Online 16 June,2015
Effective and goal-oriented administration as the hallmark for academic excellence is the focus of this paper. It is not enough to keep the administrative routine in secondary schools as a doctrine but to be goal-oriented in this era of global competitiveness. Administration of schools must seek to produce quality graduates with employability skills and sustainable alacrity through effective and efficient instructional delivery and students' discipline. The paper examined the need for proper secondary school administration, the challenges of secondary school administration, and recommended the way forward to achieving a better standard of academic excellence.
Keywords:Administration, secondary school, and academic excellence.

|Deep thinker, tattoo artist and an overall man of action ready to play the next gangster kingpin in a film
Understanding depth of character and meeting a truly unique individual can be a relatively daunting task. The more real, honest and genuine that character may be, the more they almost recede into the background as our media is full of those seeking any miniscule amount of quick fame or fortune. Then there are those individuals that live in a fantasy land and never quite achieve what they set out to do.
I am a huge fan of dark and troubled characters as they seem to take on the flaws of humanity as a whole. These individuals tread through troubled waters as if they don't know of any other area or locale to call home, yet live resolutely within that space. After listening to Mark Mahoney of Shamrock Tattoo in Los Angeles talk briefly about his shop and thoughts on life, it immediately turns into a quick study about a true character that has survived through the tattoo underbelly of a society that yearns for characters with real depth.

I finished Godel, Escher, Bach - the most difficult book I've ever read.
I have submissions in at Grain Magazine, Room Magazine, and The Wascana Review. (I sent them the new poems.)
I made my Christmas cards this morning. They're the loveliest things. I'll show you this afternoon when flikr starts working.
I filed my dental insurance claim. You have no idea how long this has taken me.
I bought bacon, because this is the week I attempt Boston Baked Beans. You have no idea how long this has taken me.

Fritwell FC Scorers:
The time is 1.30pm on this sunny April afternoon. The location is Alex Lawrie Factors, the meeting place of Cropredy Football Clubs first team players. The destination Bicester Town Football Club and the Lord Jersey Cup Final. History in the making for this sleeping giant of Football clubs. A short trek up the M40 and through the gates of the Town ground, united together in their collar, ties and specially designed jackets. First to leave their boots in the changing rooms, then to walk and sample the pitch.
2.45pm, Cropredy & Fritwell take to the pitch for a 3pm kick off, it is only at this point that the players realise just how many relatives and friends are here to support them. Mr Hillsdon blows his whistle to start the game, Fritwell kick off and with a slight breeze in the air both teams show that they are nervous of this great occasion. The distribution from both teams lacking conviction, a few miss timed challenges and passes going astray. With both teams creating half shooting opportunities at goal it was C.F.C that took the initiative a 1, 2 from a throw in gave Gary Cox the chance to deliver a cross, come shot with wind assistance sailed straight into the back of the net, 25 minutes gone. The next highlight of the game for Cropredy was when with 10 minutes to go before half time, Fritwell conceded a corner and C.F.C. sent up the big guns. A pin point cross from Ian Crocker found the head of Chris Douglas at the far post, diverting the ball back across the goal where James Rodda rose majestically to power the ball into the back of the net, leading the way like a true captain. Very few more chances occurred with half time looming.
The second half under way and Cropredy pressed on and used their 2 wingers to their full potential, both Ryan Holmes and Ian Crocker supplying good service to Shaun Wilson and Chris Douglas. The battle in the middle of the field being a brave tussle by both teams, but Paul Beckham and Wilf Shaw coming out on top for C.F.C. on most occasions. The defence of Cropredy, being Cox, Rodda, Ryan and Poole playing their regular solid game and standing tall. The Fritwell forwards always pressing, but to no avail. With 2 goals conceded Fritwell changed their game plan to pressure C.F.C even more, but with a couple of fine saves from Chloe the Cat, and the introduction of fresh legs from Tony Vickers and Barry Darvell Cropredy ran the clock down and with little injury time to play, Mr Hillsdon blew the final whistle to rapturous applause and cheers from the C.F.C faithful supporters.
After short celebrations from the winning team Mr Derek Hirons concluded the speeches by awarding Fritwell F.C. their runners up medals, James Rodda captain and Man of the Match for C.F.C. his medal and then the prestigious and highly acclaimed Lord Jersey Cup to the winners Cropredy Football Club. Spirits and celebrations were running high in the C.F.C. camp but commiserations go out to Fritwell F.C., both teams shared the food that Cropredys wives had bought with them in the club house after the game and reflected on the days proceedings. Everyone agreed oh what a day.
History being created as newly crowned Lord Jersey Cup Winners
Cropredy Football Club first to win under new amalgamation.

Metro Area Man Sentenced For Operating Ponzi Scheme
A White Bear Lake man was sentenced to seven seven and a half years in federal prison for a Ponzi scheme he operated for years. Randy Miland, 63, had been previously convicted of various financial fraud schemes and still owed restitution for those crimes.
Acting United States Attorney Gregory G. Brooker announced the indictment of one count of mail fraud and money laundering in June 2016. Miland pleaded guilty to the two charges in September 2016. Miland received his 90 month sentencing in U.S. District Court in St. Paul on Tuesday.
"Randy Miland is a serial scam artist whose trail of swindles has now led him straight to a lengthy prison sentence," said Minnesota Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman, whose agency regulates investment securities at the state level, in a statement. "Over and over again, he stole people's life savings with his fraudulent schemes. By stopping these scams, we are protecting Minnesotans in the financial marketplace."
According to a press release, from 2010 through 2014, Miland fraudulently solicited more than $500,000 from ten investors. He told them that he would use their money to invest in futures and other legitimate investments. In reality, he used their money to pay personal expenses, including court-ordered restitution payments to victims of his prior scams and to make Ponzi-type payments of purported investment returns to other investors.
Miland concealed material facts from his new victims, including the fact that he had been twice convicted of fraudulent conduct, that the Minnesota Board of Chiropractic Examiners suspended his license, that he was forbidden by the Minnesota Department of Commerce from offering or selling securities, and that he still owed more than $1.5 million in restitution to victims of prior schemes.
In 1999, Miland was sentenced to 55 months in prison for theft by swindle and ordered to pay more than $1.5 million in restitution to the victims. As of May 2016, he still owed those victims nearly the entire amount of restitution ordered. In 2006, Miland was convicted in federal court of fraud, for which he was sentenced to 41 months in prison and ordered to pay more than $250,000 in restitution to the victims. He currently still owes approximately $124,000 in restitution to the victims of his 2006 federal case
"IRS Criminal Investigation remains committed to uncovering investment fraud schemes and bringing to justice those who prey on investors for their personal financial gain," said Special Agent in Charge Shea Jones of St. Paul Field Office IRS Criminal Investigation, in a statement. "Today's 90 month sentencing of Randy Miland shows that committing investment fraud will result in severe consequences."
Miland will have to pay $214,517 in restitution from the latest crimes and will be subject to three years of supervised release.

Great ways to use up Christmas leftovers
If you're lucky enough still to have a little panettone, pandoro or nougat left over from Christmas, these simple recipes from The Clink Desserts Cookbook are perfect for helping you use them up. The panettone one will really hit the spot on a cold January day and the second one will be perfect for a January supper
or lunch party. Recently published, this is in fact the third cookbook from this
very worthwhile charity - a rehabilitation concept that offers prisoners a genuine opportunity for change. It has garnered huge support and is expanding across Her Majesty's Prison Estate with four restaurants currently in operation in the UK. Prisoners working in the restaurants work a 40-hour week while working towards achieving City & Guilds NVQs in Professional Cookery and Food & Beverage service to aid their employment upon release. In addition to the restaurants, the charity also runs The Clink Gardens at HMP Send, (just down the A3, where prisoners also gain qualifications in horticulture) and Clink Events, all of which also help in reducing the hospitality skills shortage. The Clink provides those who want and deserve a second chance in life with the opportunity to use their new skills to change for the better.
Panettone pudding
(Serves 8)
• 50g unsalted butter
• 1⁄2 panettone or pandoro, as you prefer, cut into 2cm
• 3 egg yolks
• 500ml single cream
• Demerara sugar, to sprinkle on top
1. Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan 140°C/325°F/gas 3. Spread the butter evenly over
an ovenproof pie dish that is big enough to fit all the panettone into, making sure you push the butter right into the corners. Or use individual dishes, if you prefer. Line with slices of panettone.
2. Whisk the egg yolks and add the cream, mixing well. Pour the egg mixture into the dish or dishes, covering the panettone evenly. Sprinkle the Demerara sugar on top.
3. Bake for 40 minutes for a large puddings, or 20–25 minutes for smaller puddings.
Serve hot or cold, with cream.
Al's nougat semi-freddo
Serves 8
• 3 eggs, separated
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• 250g mascarpone
• 100g crunchy nougat, chopped by hand • chopped candied fruits and
• crushed hazelnuts, to serve
1. Whisk the egg whites in a bowl until stiff. Put the yolks and sugar in another
bowl and beat until fluffy. Add the mascarpone and keep beating. Add the
chopped nougat and fold in the beaten egg whites.
Line a rectangular mould or loaf tin, about 20 x 10cm, with baking parchment or
cling film. Pour the mixture into the mould. Freeze for 2–3 hours.
Unmould the semi-freddo on a serving dish and decorate with chopped candied
fruits and crushed hazelnuts. Serve immediately.
The book contains a wonderful array of sweet treats to satisfy the most discerning pudding connoisseurs. The recipes have been provided by supporters of The Clink charity - from world-famous chefs, charity ambassadors, to advocates as young as seven. All proceeds from the sale of the book go towards expanding The Clink's prisoner rehabilitation scheme. The Clink Desserts Cookbook is available from www.theclinkcharity.org/shop/ priced £14.99.

Wow, there's a TON of comments on this last post i did! I tried to throw up at the bottom of the comments section, but my comments to yours... were too many characters to fit.
So were going to try something different this time. Here are my replies to the last Hellraiser story post, along with snippits of little pieces of newer-ish art you probably haven't seen... to make it more interesting.
You can also open the 'comment window' to the last blog, and read along so it's not too confusing who i'm responding too.
duh. shouldn't have known you'd all figure that out. : )
Okay, won't do this all the time, but here we go....
* * *
One thing's for sure, either this Hellrasier story's aged better with time, or seeing it in black and white gave it a second chance? Remember ANY comics an artists does that you DON'T like the art in? Remember, that art is buried under colors, many times BAD colors too.
But to be fair, many of the old colorists were paid crap and given no time, a day or so, to urn around a whole issue… so it's a wonder any comics look as good as they do.
cody, yes, i am tripping. it's a specialty of mine. Yeah, weirdly enough i really DO like Clive's raw almost primitive drawings and charcoal stuff. But if he was foolish enough to draw comic covers and used tons of TINY little lines early on in his career?
Then he might be unfairly raked over coals for these raw more primal expressionistic drawing how he does today, huh? ; )
Marcus, publish my blog? I think i already am 'publishing' it, at least online…. least this way i'm not killing any trees! Great story about meeting Lana/Larry. Cool place to met her too, in Coppola's Gallery. I've heard this too, Kevin Nowlan ( who got the Hulk movie concept gig) told me the same thing, you do tons of sketches, and it looks totally different. I was so spoiled on the maxi cartoon, they USED much of my art, so that why it look so much like the book. That's so rare too.
My art, or what little is out there, sales for anything from a few hundred for a zero girl pages to thousands for certain covers or color work.
Yes, 'Nor Cal cons': I'll work on trying to hit a few cons and not do just san diego, but the seasons pretty much over now.
Neil is funny that way. Neil Mike and i are screwed for life because of that sandman book. We're as bound together as the Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer are. Though not as rich or famous. But i feel a weird automatic affection for both of them, even though we've gone years where we rarely speak to each other.
It's ironic Neil would say that. Never say never, right?
Btw, i did NOT say the Hendrix/Beatles quote, but since it's on Sandman wiki page now, it's useless trying to refute it. Neil is quoted as saying i said it, but i have no memory of saying it. But who knows? It's been so long, maybe i could be wrong.
Mas, yes if they follow designs, but that's also a crap shoot. Just depends what mood the director or producers are in right? I agree the creation of a world/city would probably my by favorite part… more so than the action stuff. just not an action sort of guy.
Yeah, concept/ideas/character - amen!
thanks for solving the riddle of if that story was reprinted. I figured it made it's way into some GN out there somewhere..
Yeah, i agree about the Matrix. Just a weird fit for me. It's odd i'd say that before even seeing the script, but seems they did go in a whole other direction after bound, so i was right on the front.
Yeah, a real life story WITH a plot twist… but looks like i may have spoke to soon ( see further down)
Thanks Jeff,
Sjors too!
Yeah, contrast was the GOAL there. I wanted to shake things up a little. a LOT actually. Yeah, i feel the same way about crazy artists and fans who love 'em. Those Biz covers on doom patrol were about the only thing i'd bother to pick up for a while.
You could really feel him building up to something huh? Later, it was so weird to finally talk to him on the phone too. But i also get the same feeling by old guys trying NEW stuff too. Even if it doesn't work, their like sharks and keep swimming forward.
Shameless admission: Most of my favorite artists draw *differently* now, Kyle Baker when he switched from 'Saturn' to how he drew 'You Are Here', or Dave Mazzucchelli who's work in 'Asterios Polyp' operate in a whole different level than his mainstream Batman work.
Both are cool and there's room for both. Yeah, some times 'later work' doesn't cut it. It happens. But i'm blown away buy guys who TRY at least, even if it falls flat, it's in the trying.
I 'should' prefer Talking Heads, and i still love a tons of it, but i tend to catch myself these days listen to Byrne's solo stuff more. But that's just me. Personal taste.
The cool bit is we can like old Biz stuff, but also turn each other onto NEW stuff too, i wouldn't have found HALF the cool stuff i have if guys and gals on the sire like you hadn't opened my eyes to it.
Keep lurking dude ~ safety in numbers!
Ahh Aaron. Magic? wow… if i only could have heard you say that the editor balled me out!
: )
Thanks buddy.
Thanks for the link to these color pages..
But you know what? it looks like i'm *wrong* about Larry writing that story!!!
The credits on this story page say it's NOT Larry Wachowski - but someone named 'Nicholas Vince'. Shoot. I assumed it was Larry because someone ( the editor?) scribbled his "larry wachowski-sam kieth" on the first page of the original art.
Larry did write another Hellraiser story… i remember seeing his name on some credits.. so maybe the editor just was jotting names down or something? Or got confused?
Weird. The mystery continues..
Glad your dig the 'old days' stuff. I liked some of it too, (bot all) - but if the stuff i'm doing now *isn't* doing it for you, for Pete's sake man, i have the IDEAL solution for you: stop looking at my stuff now! ; )
Seriously, nostalgia stuff aside, i don't ask everybody to "like/get/be excited" for how i draw now. It's a continuum, not hard edges. When i was in my teens i liked Zappa's later satirical slick work, later i preferred his early 'Mothers' period, and now i settle on the middle Roxy and Elsewhere" years.
He work changed and changed.. just as my taste changed grew and morphed. It's all good as long as you adjust your expectations along the way.
I've even given up worry or beating myself up about 'changing ( …a first, for me!). To me that's a good problem. That i've changed. Not changing, or trying to be someone i can't anymore, that, for me, would truly suck. You can't go home. Why would want too?
Don't wanna rain on your parade, but believe me, it would be lame watching me trying to and 'recreate' the past. Doesn't work. Not possible, even if i tried. Long as my fans don't expect it of me, and just take what i CAN give them, then we both win.
If not, no hard feelings and i mean this sincerely. I don't mind old stuff, i'll throw it up sometimes too. looking back is cool. But it hurts my neck looking back too much, plus i tend to run into things that way.
Someone once said, "the Past is nice place to visit, but a horrible place to be stuck in".
Okay folks... sorry i rambled on there. You guys were much more concise and to the point than i was, obviously.
I'm going to try a few shorter- but more frequent posts in the near future... ever three days or so? I'll still do longer 'process posts' sometimes, but i feel like it's a good idea to keep the flow going, give us all a reason to check back in every three days or so ~ sound good?
Thanks again everyone!

Amis just do not get the distinction between travelers and tourists and cosmpolitanism versus economic neliberal cheap labor migrant. Then again neither do neoliberal Euers. This was more fun when Katarina Fritsch did the giant choco rat rather than the deleuzian Werwölfe. Spoke with Stefan Jonsson of LInkoping at a GK event 2 years ago about the differential and he was a bit more into the historicity than the politics which pissed me off a bit. All these people are in a bubble in terms of thought but there is no outside in terms of materiality. At least ISIS is not in favor of globalism
perhaps the wild boar and the wolf lived in balance and this was a dramatization. IB Iwerks?
Was a GS event not GK
Consumers. Now they scare me. A jolly cartoon
neoliberalism consumes entire cultures and all co-constructed concepts of personhood and experiential life and its element of multiculturalism is more racist than all the neoskinhead rhetoric in the BRD, US, UK and Ukraine combined. As agitprop art this piece is the equivalent of a Kenneth Cole advert and no more. That bad public art would be tolerated in the city of Walter Benjamin is sort of unforgivable. Merkel makes a shameful reduction of cultural equivalency to her own Osti experience in 89
Actually Camel milk is stolen and consumed by humans in sandy countries and camels have been weaponized as bombs.so a bit of toon verite here.
Prolix sentence alert: One must be a native New Yorker with a media studies sense of the absurd as commonplace to truly appreciate the double-negative zeitgeist that is the eternal sarcasm of Bugs Bunny who I always thought Johnny Thunders based his career upon. This New York idiom was inherent in certain Old Ivy philo seminars
In terms of aping, please see other comment about mimesis

The GE Smart Countertop Microwave with Scan-to-Cook Technology wants to make it easier than ever to cook a quick snack or a frozen dinner. With the GE Appliances Kitchen app, you can scan the barcode on your prepackaged food of choice. If the food is in GE's database, the app will send the proper cooking times and settings to your microwave so you can simply toss in your food and hit Start.
GE's smart microwave also works with Amazon's digital assistant Alexa, so if you have a smart speaker like an Amazon Echo ($100 at Amazon.com), you can say something like "Alexa, add 30 seconds to the microwave" and it'll work. Unlike Whirlpool's microwaves with a similar scan-to-cook feature, which cost $640 and up, GE's microwave packages in all of its smarts for a reasonable $140. You can find plenty of higher-end "dumb" microwaves for roughly the same price.
While I love the idea of the "scan-to-cook" feature in theory, in practice, it won't actually save you much trouble. The feature won't convert a recipe's cooking time if it's recommended for a different wattage than this microwave. GE claims that it has 3,000 meals in its database, but I still found lots of frozen meals from big brands that didn't work. As a whole, the feature and the app still feel as though they're in beta. The Alexa skill works well, but even though this microwave is reasonably priced, I'd wait to make a purchase until GE has a little more time to develop its primary feature.
Great expectations
I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting, but when I took the GE Smart Countertop Microwave with Scan-to-Cook Technology out of its box, I was a little disappointed at how ordinary it looked. At a glance, it won't stand out from any other microwave you'd find at the store.
Similarly, in my mind, I pictured something impossible for the scan-to-cook feature. I wanted to toss in a bag of popcorn and find every kernel popped when I came back. I wanted to take a meal out of the box and toss it in, then return a few minutes later to a perfectly cooked dinner. I suppose, in my imagination, this microwave stirred the food for me and took care of initial steps like puncturing the film. Hell, maybe it even plated it for me.
Obviously, this GE microwave won't do any of that. The scan-to-cook feature essentially means you won't have to punch the cook time into your microwave, but you'll still need to read the directions and get involved on any intermediary steps.
Voice-enabled smarts
The smarts of this microwave stand out in more subtle ways. If you need to heat a meal on defrost or medium heat, scan-to-cook will make that adjustment for you. You can see the status of your microwave on your phone, and you'll get a push notification when it's done cooking. Plus, you can use your phone to add 30 seconds to your cooking time if your popcorn doesn't quite sound fully popped.
You can do the same with a voice command to Amazon's assistant, Alexa. The Alexa skill for this microwave is great. With a voice command to any Alexa-enabled device, you can pause or stop the microwave, add time to your current countdown, start cooking for a specified amount of time, or even activate one of the microwave's presets such as "beverage."
Better yet, you don't have to use any invocation words like "ask GE" that were previously customary for controlling GE appliances with Alexa. Link your GE account with your Amazon account via the Alexa app, and then you can say something simple and intuitive like "Alexa, microwave on high for one minute," and it'll work responsively.
If you're interested in a microwave that has an app, works with Alexa and can scan your meals and set times on its own, you can buy the GE Smart Countertop Microwave with Scan-to-Cook Technology now for $140. Use the company's site to find retailers in your area. The product is only available in the US for now.
Simple cooking
Smarts aside, GE's machine fared well enough on our ordinary microwave tests. It's a little small and underpowered for the price, with 900 watts of cooking power and 0.9-cubic-foot of usable space. Other 900-watt countertop microwaves from big brands cost as little as $55, and you can easily get 1,100 to 1,200 watts of power for the same price as this GE microwave, so you are paying some premium for the smarts even if it's not an exorbitant one.
The button presets generally don't kick on with a single press, but ask for a bit more information. You can find them all decoded on a sticker on the upper rim of the interior. For example, press popcorn and you'll need to specify if you're cooking a 1.75-, 3.0- or 3.5-ounce bag before hitting Start. Keep pressing the popcorn button to toggle through the options.

Your Ultimate South Mississauga Homeowners' Resource!
Bill invites you to watch this brief video clip to take best advantage of his website. He is the founder of WaterNestSeekers, part of Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., Brokerage, located locally in Clarkson Village.
Bill's focus and expertise is in the South Mississauga waterfront communities his family has called home for over 25 years: Lorne Park, Port Credit, Clarkson, Mineola and Lakeview.
He's not here today, and gone tomorrow. He builds lasting relationships with you to help before, during and long after any move you may make… unlike most who chase you for a near term pay cheques. Whether you're thinking about 3 months or 3 years, he's good with that. No pressure, just help.
The Top 10 Differentiators. Why use Bill?
Clients consistently report ten "differences" which put Bill ahead of the pack.
These ten key success factors drove their high trust in him, their 5 out-of 5 star ratings for results, service and value far exceeding his compensation, and why they help those they care about most by enthusiastically referring Bill to them:
- Results: Out performs the market. Bill's goal is to earn your 5 Star rating after all is said and done, so that you'll encourage those you know they'd be wise to contact him for help. To achieve this, he delivers the most net $$ in your pocket (even after deducting his compensation!), within your timeline, and with the least hassle. You decide which of these three goals is your #1 priority, which then drives the strategies Bill uses to achieve what you want. Bill has over 20 years experience helping people one at a time to achieve their lifestyle and financial goals. He's sure do the same for you.
- Attracts a superior flow of motivated and qualified buyers and their agents, triggering multiple offer negotiations. Leverages an innovative and aggressive 37 point Buyer Attraction Marketing Plan (which he'll ask you to review in preparation for your Seller Consultation Meeting). He utilises the latest on-line strategies and social media focused tools – well beyond the "list on the MLS and pray" approach used by average agents. He draws on his past VP Sales International role success, drawing on the most effective leading edge proven techniques.
- You choose from options for listing price and compensation strategies. Provides you with alternatives. Discusses the pros / cons and rewards / risks of each, and the expected impact on your results. You decide upon which is used. Bill's embraces your decision. Importantly, he patiently explains why it's always in your best interest to focus on maximising the net $$ you walk away with in your pocket (after all expenses, including his compensation), rather than focusing on minimising just your commission expense, as most people unwisely do… leaving a fortune on the table.
- Advanced negotiation skills. Achieves what's most important for you, leveraging his win:win approach.
- Backed by the top flight team and branding of South Mississauga's Market Share Leader, Royal LePage. The simple but important fact is, more people choose Royal LePage to sell or buy their South Mississagua home than anyone else. Next to Realtor.ca, RoyalLePage.ca has the highest traffic of any real estate website in Canada. Your property being featured on it attracts local, national and international buyers alike. By definition, Bill's respected colleagues and he represent the most motivated and well qualified buyers interested in South Mississauga properties. We "shop" your property to them immediately following paperwork being signed. The best value homes are often sold to our Buyers before they are ready to go onto the MLS System® for everyone else to see, to your advantage. Also, when Bill encounters an unusual situation or wants a trusted 2nd opinion, he can count on his branch's Broker of Record, Anne Alkok and his top performing Royal LePage colleagues, for wise advice and assistance. Bill's backed by the ethical, skilled and successful team at Royal LePage, to help sell your home to your benefit. You'll meet them, be impressed and grateful for the critical role they play in your results.
- Skilled Communicator: Priority Access and Always Updated. Once the paperwork has been signed to get Bill busy working for you, you're immediately moved up from his Economy into his First Class section. Bill chooses to restrict First Class to 2-6 families at any given time. Your Calls/texts/emails are responded to in 15 minutes or less 95% of the time 7 days a week and evenings, unless he's critically engaged with one of his other 5 First Class families at that moment in time, or sleeping for the night. As soon as he's able, he get's back to you promptly. When Bill's unhooked and taking family time, you'll know in advance, and who to contact for urgent help. He'll update you on progress and events with a frequency and method you choose. You'll never wonder what's going on, or feel out of touch.
- Sage financial acumen. Treats your money as if it where his own. Views things from your shoes. His CPA designation and past CFO executive roles brings perspective.
- Professional ethical behaviour above reproach. This is so refreshing in an industry perceived by most in which this is lacking. His consistent process significantly reduces your risk of a deal collapsing before closing, a post sale lawsuit and other unpleasant events. Bill's actions consistently proof that his achieving your goals and best interests, are ahead of his and anyone else.
- Encourages you to compare to others. The single biggest determinant of your success, is which Realtor® you select. You must use the absolute best Realtor® you can find, and trust. Your home is often the most valuable asset you possess. Bill respects that you have over 48,000 agents across the GTA from which to choose from. Full-time / part-time, local expertise / none, stellar results / not, ethical / not, 2 deals per year to hundreds, transaction or relationship oriented, big team or individuals, etc. He encourages you to interview one or two others, as they make him shine by comparison. Do your research. Watch all Bill's Clients' video testimonials on his YouTube Channel. Check out their rating scores on Google+. Follow Bill on Facebook to find the latest South Mississauga market stats and content important to you as a seller, buyer, investor and/or home owner. Call Bill and ask to be able to speak with any of his Clients you choose. They've all offered to speak with you directly, and he'll promptly connect you. Compare all this to theirs… if they have them. You'll want to interview Bill.
- Consistency: Calm, friendly, positive, personable, low ego, swagger of confidence and humorous. You'll enjoy the time you spend with Bill. He's earned his grey hair and laugh lines, but he's still 25 in his mind, energy, passion and actions!
Bill respectfully suggests you meet with him for a brief Seller Consultation Meeting as part of your selection process – particularly if you have a friend / family member in the business, your last agent, your neighbour used another or you're tempted by a glossy flyer.
He'll answer all your questions and ensure you have all the information you need to make a great decision for yourself as to who you want in your court representing your best interests. There's no obligation. What's the worst that could happen if you do? What's the most likely and best outcome for you? Think about it, and call Bill on his mobile today at 416-671-0554. Talk in confidence, without pressure and with no obligation. You'll be so glad you did!
