If you haven’t already heard the good news we’re planting a church in Dallas, TX. Launch Sunday will be here in a few short days and we can’t wait to see what God has in store for us all!
Over the past few months there have been so many things to do, so many details to take care of, and so many challenges to face so we could be ready for launch. Through all of this we have felt the immeasurable love and encouragement you have given us through personal messages and visits, and the many gifts and blessings you have shared with us. You all are so special to us, whether here on the ground as a Dwell Church volunteer, or praying and supporting us from afar.
So, we wanted to be sure you know that you are invited to join us Sunday, September 9, at 10:00am to witness the beginning of this thing the Lord has created for us all to witness. If you’re one of those who can’t make it in person, please watch for a Facebook Live broadcast on the day so you can share in the celebration too.
It’s important that we begin the life of the church as we intend it to continue. So, in the hope of positively impacting others in the Dallas community from Day 1, Dwell Church is getting started by hosting a charity furniture drive at the launch in partnership with Dwell With Dignity. We’re calling this initiative #DwellGives and we encourage you to be a part of it by bringing and donating a piece of gently used furniture to share with families in need.
We’ll work side-by-side with Dwell With Dignity volunteers to accept and stage your donated items before the service, and to load them for transport to the charity’s warehouse in the Dallas Design District afterward. All you need to do is bring that special piece you want to be a blessing in someone else’s home to church on September 9. Our volunteers will do the rest.
This partnership between Dwell Church and Dwell With Dignity is important to us. As Founding Pastors, we intend Dwell Church to be an active part of the Dallas community. This is our way of beginning to forge strong bonds locally by serving our neighbors.
Dwell With Dignity has served the Dallas metroplex since 2009 with a mission to “help families escape poverty and homelessness through design; one household at a time.” They work alongside local service agencies, helping families transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency. To date, 130 families have had their new living space transformed into a “home” by the non-profit.
This Sunday you can help a struggling family get a fresh start by participating in the Dwell Church furniture drive benefiting Dwell with Dignity.
So, please join with us in bringing an item of furniture that will bless a family on the verge of a new future!
There are definitely some simple rules to follow when choosing a piece of furniture to donate. The homes furnished by Dwell With Dignity are typically very small one to three bedroom apartments. The aim is to provide functional, safe, family-friendly furnishings that look great! This is an important piece of their mission to help families dwell with DIGNITY.
When donating, please keep in mind that Dwell With Dignity can use small-scale pieces in good condition. Scratches, dings, tiny cracks, and minor wobbles are okay. Furnishings that are broken, missing important pieces such as legs, arms and/or bases are not okay. And we can’t accept furniture items with glass tops/shelves or mirrored furniture. These types of pieces are not very family friendly and also heavy for volunteers to move up several flights of stairs.
Rule of thumb: If we can sand it, paint it or apply a coat of stain to make it look great – we can use it! If you’re unsure about your planned donation, don’t hesitate to ask by emailing [email protected] or call and talk to Dwell With Dignity at (214) 599-7974.
We’re excited to see all of these special items brought together, and to pass them into the hands of the amazing volunteers at Dwell With Dignity as we celebrate this very special day in the life of Dwell Church.
Special Note for those of you who can’t be with us in person – if you wish to contribute to the #DwellGives charity furniture drive, please email [email protected]. We will be happy to share with you other ways that you can help.
Binks Insurance Brokers Limited is an independent brokerage. We believe that our independence is an important factor in protecting your best interests as a client.
We further believe that you are entitled to full and open disclosure about how we are compensated, and about whether or not there are any circumstances which might give rise to a potential conflict of interest in the placement of your personal or business policies with a particular insurance company.
Overall, there are eight different areas where an insurance brokerage could face a potential conflict of interest. We have addressed each area in the following paragraphs:
Direct or indirect ownership interest of any kind in a brokerage by an insurer, or in an insurer by a brokerage.
Common ownership of a brokerage and an insurer by a financial conglomerate or other holding company or group of companies. Binks is a privately-owned, Canadian-controlled corporation. All of its shares are owned by employees and private, individual investors.
Binks deals with the Bank of Montreal for its banking needs. There is a long-term loan in place with an insurer to assist with succession planning – there are no production strings attached, and we do not believe this to be in any way a conflict of interest.
A financial or non-financial network affiliation with an insurer. Binks does not belong to any such networks.
Exclusive contract with an insurer. Binks places certain business on a program basis, in order to obtain better wordings, more competitive pricing, and certain loss control services not available from insurers on an individual basis. Individual policyholders who qualify for such programs are offered the program insurer’s terms. Such insurers have included Travelers Canada, Aviva Canada, and ENCON. The program, not the individual policy, is negotiated with the marketplace.
Volume/mix of business requirements. Binks has no restrictions placed upon us by any insurer with regard to volume or mix of business.
Receipt of other commissions. Binks may receive commissions as a result of profit-sharing agreements with insurers. Such commissions are contingent upon certain goals, are not guaranteed, and are addressed in the section under Brokerage Compensation.
Sales Incentives. Binks does not accept or allow its employees to receive any sales incentives offered by any insurers.
Premium Financing. Premiums for insurance policies are due and payable at the effective date of the coverage. Effective immediately, we now offer only three choices of payment:
– Where possible, an Automatic Monthly Payment Plan with some insurers. These plans typically include a finance fee. This also includes an option to pay by credit card.
We are pleased to announce that we have received regulatory approval to offer Premium Financing to give you more choice in paying your commercial insurance premiums. Effective immediately, Stuart Premium Financing, (a division of Binks Insurance Brokers Limited), will offer a Payment Plan of up to 10 monthly instalments with a 20% down-payment. In no way are you obligated to use this Premium Financing plan. Binks Insurance Brokers Limited receives no referral fees or commissions from Stuart Premium Financing.
Brokerage commission is a part of most insurance premiums. The commissions paid by insurers are fairly standard, and vary according to type and classification of insurance policy: Automobile ranges from 10-12.5%, Property ranges from 10-20%, and Liability commissions are from 10% to 20%.
This commission percentage is paid annually for both new business and renewals. Overall, the average commission across our entire book of business is about 15%, out of which we must pay salaries, sales commissions, taxes (including full GST with no input tax credits) and other operating costs of doing business.
In some cases, we receive no commission at all from an insurer, and we must charge a fee for services rendered to you. If we do receive a commission from an insurer, and also find it necessary to charge a fee because of other expenses in handling your file, then we have a professional obligation to fully disclose to you the full compensation.
In order for us to maintain strong relationships with quality insurers, we work with each to provide the type of business they desire. The Insurers with an asterisk noted in the table recognize our efforts through a profit-sharing contract. Payment of this profit-sharing commission may be contingent upon on a combination of growth, profitability (loss ratio), volume, retention and increased services that we provide on behalf of the Insurer. This additional compensation is not guaranteed, nor is it applicable to any one policy. Canadian Insurance Companies now post details of these plans on their corporate websites.
At Binks Insurance Brokers Limited, we purchase insurance products and services on your behalf that are available and affordable in the current marketplace. Our role is to provide you with the best insurance value that combines coverage, service, and price. We also provide personalized, quality service that includes professional insurance advice, ongoing policy maintenance and claims support. When any issue arises regarding your insurance coverage, we are your advocates, using our professional experience to best represent your individual interest.
Your Insurer will be providing you with a Consumer Code of Rights and Responsibilities, which will be sent to you with your next policy. If you have any questions regarding this or any other aspect of your insurance please contact us.

Whether you’re into nature parks or farmers' markets, there are plenty of cool things to do in Edmonton, Alberta. Get inspired for your next Canadian adventure with this list of places that aren’t your typical tourist attractions.
AAA/Katie Broome
124 Street
124 Street between 111 Avenue N.W. and Jasper Avenue
(780) 413-6503
A great place for shopping and strolling is 124 Street, a walkable district just north of Jasper Avenue. There you'll find boutiques, art galleries and indie shops aplenty.
A few places worth a stop include Hideout Distro (12407 108 Ave. N.W.) for well-curated gifts; The Prints and the Paper (10725 124 St.) for posters and Alberta-themed goods; and Bearclaw Gallery (10403 124 St.) for unique art made by Canadian First Nations, Metis and Inuit artists.
If you visit the district on Thursday evenings or Sunday afternoons in summer, you'll be just in time for the 124 Grand Market. It's one of the most popular farmers’ markets in town.
AAA/Katie Broome
Constable Ezio Faraone Park
11004 97 Ave. N.W.
Join throngs of locals exercising, picnicking and plain ol’ relaxing at Constable Ezio Faraone Park. Perched on a steep hillside, the park overlooks the North Saskatchewan River. The high vantage point lets you see the High Level Bridge and the High Level Bridge Streetcar. It’s also an access point for the Royal Glenora Stairs (a total of 202 heart-pumping steps!) and the trails of the Edmonton River Valley and Victoria Park.
AAA/Katie Broome
Edmonton River Valley
Various access points
Did you know that Edmonton has one of the largest stretches of urban parkland in North America? In fact, the city's total parkland is 22 times the size of New York City’s Central Park.
One of the best places to explore off-the-beaten-path is the Edmonton River Valley. The river valley is made up of numerous parks, trails and greenspaces along the North Saskatchewan River.
Wondering how to access the trails from downtown? Ride the 100 Street Funicular (10065 100 St. N.W.), a glass-walled elevator that connects downtown to the trail system. The free ride takes less than a minute.
AAA/Katie Broome
Elk Island National Park
South entrance is 48 km (30 mi.) e. of Edmonton via Hwy. 16
Are you ready for a road trip? Pick up your rental car (Hertz has discounts for AAA members) and drive about 35 minutes east to Elk Island National Park. It's the closest national park to Edmonton.
Make your first stop the Visitor Information Centre near the south entrance. There you'll find exhibits that explain the history of the park and the wildlife you’ll likely encounter.
Once inside the park, drive Bison Loop Road to see free-roaming plains bison from the safety of your vehicle. (The bison herd is best spotted around dawn or dusk.) After you’ve snapped some photos, continue north to Astotin Lake, where you can rent canoes, hike on trails or walk on a boardwalk over the lake.
AAA/Greg Weekes
Farmers' Markets
Various neighborhoods
Browse locally made goods and gifts at various farmers’ markets in Edmonton. A popular year-round option is the Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market at 83 Avenue and 103 Street N.W. It's held every Saturday and has more than 130 vendors.
The Edmonton Downtown Farmers Market (10305 97 St. N.W.) is open every Saturday, too. For a smaller setup with live music and food trucks, head to the 124 Grand Market. The outdoor market sets up on 124 Street in Edmonton near 102 Avenue on Sundays in the summer and near 108 Avenue on Thursday evenings.
AAA/Katie Broome
Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village
50 km (31 mi.) e. of Edmonton on Hwy. 16
Take a day trip out to the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. It's just down the road from Elk Island National Park, so we recommend combining a visit to these two Edmonton attractions.
The open-air living history museum has dozens of restored houses, churches, barns and stores that show how Ukrainian immigrants once lived. Costumed interpreters demonstrate daily life from the 1890s through 1930s. They also speak in character to immerse you in the experience.
A concession stand serves authentic Ukrainian foods like homemade borshch (beet soup), holubtsi (cabbage rolls) and pyrohy (pierogies).

A Movie that Was So Good: Top Gun; Maverick
I realize that I was 27 years old when the original Top Gun unleashed the "need for speed" in 1886, so I was skeptical about another Hollywood remake. This version was a great remake! I'm not necessarily a Tom Cruise fan, but the boy still has his mojo in the movie. I think you'll enjoy it!
An Audible Book I Enjoyed While Traveling: Saving Faith by David Balducci
Private investigator, Lee Adams finds himself in a plot between political elites, the CIA, and the FBI while trying to save a modern day damsel in distress. It's a long play listen, but it really is very entertaining!
A BBQ Sandwich that was So Good that I Was Shocked
When I think about really good southern barbecue, I think about a shack on a dirt road with smoke billowing out of a smoker filled with Boston Butts and good vinegar based sauce. On my way to and from Middle School Camp I stopped at Cook-Out, the North Carolina based fast food joint. It's known for fresh burgers, milkshakes and cheap eats. I ordered the BBQ sandwich with th eslaw on the side. Asked for it to only have the "Texas Pete" sauce on the sandwich and BAM! The slaw and the BBQ were awesome! Add a Cheerwine to the sandwich and you have near perfection!
A Question that Changed My Morning Routine
I'm constantly searching for new and improved ways to become more intentional, productive, and peace-filled. When I read these questions, I was struck by how powerful they could be in every leaders life.

Most of emotional suffering comes from judgments based in misunderstanding and illusion. People misinterpret, have false expectations, lack forgiveness for themselves and others and get caught seeking material things to fill up the hole they feel inside. Often their emotions-thoughts-actions do not line up and create blocks that limit their lives.
Sandi's sessions focus on practical skills and methods that help patient/clients achieve more of what they want in life.

24-Jun-2013 - Last updated on 24-Jun-2013 at 15:48 GMT
Several speakers addressed the issue of how to convince consumers to make more sustainable choices, including in a keynote session from award winning journalist Simran Sethi, who emphasised the importance of storytelling to make sustainable brands more personal to consumers – a message echoed by Stephan Ardesch of Ben & Jerry's, who said 65% of consumers were willing to pay more when they learned of the brand's environmental and social responsibility.
A paper from sustainability communications firm Ogilvy Earth also examined how to target consumers effectively with environmental messaging. It said that brands wishing to tout their green credentials should target 'middle greens' – who account for two-thirds of consumers – rather than 'dark greens' who already aim to buy sustainable products.
However, taste, rather than sustainability, remained the most important characteristic of foods and drinks for most consumers, according to several experts speaking at the event.
Slow Food Netherlands' president Hans van der Molen said that brands should not forget that taste is the main reason people buy foods. An Alpro executive agreed, and highlighted the example of its plant-based foods designed to be healthy alternatives to meat and dairy products. The company said that although their sustainability credentials were a core value, taste and quality were crucial to their success.
More collaboration needed
Organic Monitor also said that greater industry collaboration was required to meet the challenge of feeding growing populations in a sustainable manner, and this emerged as a major theme of the conference.
Belgian retailer Delhaize cited its partnership with WWF, saying it was fundamental to improving the sustainability of its seafood supply; and French ingredients firm Nexira highlighted its partnership with SOS Sahel for the sustainable sourcing of acacia gum.

Watching a cartoon, you may be interested in how the characters would look like in real life. And who catches our imagination more than Disney princesses?
Ryan Astamendi, an artist, decided to bring them to life. He created a series of photos called ’Disney princesses,’ and it’s amazing!
With the author’s permission, LikeAble publishes his thoroughly well thought-out works. Seriously, these pretty girls look just like movie stars.
This weekend, I got to do something very cool. I got to take our 3-year old son to see his first movie theatre, big screen, big popcorn, holy crap this is an awesome movie.
The only tiny issue going in that was funny was he kept calling it a movie about cars and monster trucks. I am guessing this had something to do with the trailer starting off with clips and figures from the original Cars movie.
Anyways, we went, it was a blast and it is safe to say our son is hooked on anything on the big screen.
Harrison has technically been to a movie before. He went as a baby when my wife went to a few mom, baby movies. But really, would Harrison remember that? Nope.
He also saw Wreck-it Ralph while we were away at the cottage on a large outdoor screen. But that was sitting on a hard bench with bugs buzzing around your head.
Planes would be the first time he got to sit in his own big chair, have his own popcorn and immerse his mind into the fantasy land of talking planes and adventure.
If you are looking for a review of the movie, well I am not planning on giving one. All I will say is, it was very similar to the story line of Cars and we both found it entertaining.
All weekend Harrison was buzzing. He kept asking if it was Sunday night yet? The countdown could not go fast enough.
We also could not tell if he was more excited about the movie or the popcorn. My wife loves popcorn to the point that it really does not matter what movie is in front of her. Clearly this has been passed on.
We finished dinner, got dressed up (meaning long pants to counter the air conditioning) and headed out to the theatre. Oh, I could not resist getting Harrison to wear his Cars shirt to see Planes. Kind of like anyone going to a basketball game and wearing anything NBA related they own.
As soon as the big building that plays movies was in sight, Harry was giddy. He kept saying, there it is, there is the movie place.
We arrived a little early as I like to do and got tickets and food. Harrison’s eyes were filled with big posters, and bright lights. I mean it is Halifax, so I won’t say it is like being in Vegas, but it was to him.
He was bouncing in the popcorn line to the point that everyone was looking at him and giving that oh that’s cute smile.
So there you have it, one difference between my wife and my son. They will have to get separate bags when they see a movie.
We hit the bathroom first before the theatre just to make sure we could get through at least the first 25 minutes without a pee break.
Again, Harrison’s face said it all. I made a point of watching his face a lot. I want to see all those “first” moments. The big screen blew his mind I think.
He looked like he was at home in the big chair. Nobody around him to bother, so he could wave his legs all he wanted.
The trailers started and a few looked like future movie trips. Frosty, Lego and an Earth Day Bears movie. All of which Harry leaned over and said he wanted to see.
You know the term “breaking the seal” when you are drinking? Well it was like that happened at the movies. About 45 minutes in, one kid had to leave to pee. Then pretty much every other kid, saw that and was like, me too. So we had a quick break around the part where Dusty learns the truth about his mentor.
How is this for the influence of Netflix. Harrison asked if we could pause it while he went out to the bathroom.
During a part where there was a hint of romance, he made a ooooohhh sound when the female plane from Canada was talking. That told me he was into the movie and understood what was going on.
When it was over, he was kind of bummed at first but then wanted to get out of there to go home and build a Ripslinger.
Harrison sat through the whole movie without any issues, complaints or moments of misbehaviour. It was great to see that even at three, he is mature enough to be out for a night and enjoy it.
For me? I had a blast just watching it all happen. I could have just watch him watching the movie and my ticket price would have been worth it. It was a bonus that I also liked the movie. I personally find planes more interesting than cars in the real world, so it was great.
The only disagreement we had during the whole night was over what the name of the boat was the carried the jets. I said an aircraft carrier and Harrison said a large freighter that carried planes.

^^^ Yes, this is the proper way to size shoes, according to the Brannock device:
http://www.brannock.com/cgi-bin/star...tructions.html
Compare the arch length to the heel-to-toe length. Generally you'll use the larger of the two measurements as the correct shoe size. If the arch length and heel-to-toe length are the same, this will be the shoe size. If the heel-to-toe length is larger than the arch length, then fit to the heel-to-toe size. If arch...

That would be me! Seriously, put them on one morning, went to JAX, long layover in ATL, then DTW with a missed connection, then on to LSE. Probably a 10 hour wear.

for those of you who own high boots without speed hooks (ie with normal eyelets all the way up) how hard is it for you to get your boots on? do you need to unlace the top 2/3/4 eyelets each time, then relace them?

Yes, in my experience the Barrie last is pointier and narrower than the Trubalance.
Barrie Last:
The leftmost boot is the Barrie lasted boot, and the one in the middle is Trubalance, both the same size (the right most boot is also Trubalance, but a different size). It's not really apparent in this photo but I can assure you that the Barrie is narrower because I had to sell the Barrie boots because they were too cramped (widthwise) in the forefoot.

Those Plaza captoes are perfect. Everything about that configuration (last, eyelets, welt, sole, leather) is in balance, and that patina is amazing. They've lightened considerably to a cigar hue which is just lovely.
Care to share some information about the amount of wear and the maintenance on those, Aries83? I'm always awed whenever you post pictures of those boots.

How San Diego politicians invested this year | San Diego Reader
How San Diego politicians invested this year
They dabble in stocks, chow down for free
Over the past year, novice investors learned the hard way that the stock market can be a tricky place to make money. Yet judging from their recent financial disclosure filings, San Diego County elected officials -- especially county supervisor Dianne Jacob -- have been holding their own.
But not all of them can tell the same happy story Jacob can.
One supervisor, Ron Roberts, got into trouble when he couldn't resist dabbling in the stock of Neon Systems, the Texas software maker controlled by Padres owner John Moores, which earlier this year brought an end to the career of San Diego city councilwoman Valerie Stallings. Roberts bought and sold Neon last year, and, judging from public records, came out a big loser.
Both Stallings and Roberts have in the past counted themselves as personal and political friends of multimillionaire Moores, and both have suffered career setbacks as a result of their association. Stallings was required to resign from the city council after it became known she had received unreported gifts from the baseball magnate. The mayoral campaign of Roberts suffered when it was revealed that the county supervisor had taken trips on a jet belonging to Moores.
Though both Roberts and Stallings appear to have ultimately lost money in their Moores-related dealings, their ill fortune in the stock market has not been shared by Roberts's fellow supervisors.
According to Jacob's report, filed earlier this month, the value of her stock portfolio at the end of last year was worth at least $978,000, and possibly as much as $8.79 million. The range of values is due to the way the law allows elected officials to disclose each of their holdings in one of four categories: $2000 to $10,000; $10,001 to $100,000; $100,001 to $1 million; and greater than $1 million. None of the supervisors said they held any single investment over a million, but several reported individual holdings of over $100,000.
For instance, Jacob, the runaway investment champion of the board, reported she owned between $100,000 and $1 million each of America Online, EMC Corp., Merck Pharmaceuticals, IBM, Ford, Apple Computer, and Amgen. She reported she held between $10,000 and $100,000 of stock in each of Intel, Disney, Time-Warner, Cisco, Citigroup, Dell, and Oracle.
She also reported holding a stake between $2000 and $10,000 in Leap Wireless, a Qualcomm spinoff that, among other ventures, is building a cell-phone system across the border in Tijuana. The Leap Wireless board features such local luminaries as Padres owner and venture capitalist John Moores and UCSD chancellor Robert Dynes. A number Jacob's board colleagues also reported holding shares of Qualcomm and Leap.
Jacob's holdings included $10,000 to $100,000 worth of Lucent Technologies, the troubled telecom spinoff of AT&T, which was one of the original partners in the so-called Pennant Alliance. In October 1999, the board of supervisors unanimously voted to award the alliance with a $644 million, multiyear contract to run the county's data processing and telecommunications systems. In September of last year, Lucent spun off Avaya Communication, which replaced Lucent as the communications vendor in the Pennant Alliance.
Coming in a distant second to Jacob in the board's investment derby is District 1 supervisor Greg Cox of Chula Vista, who reported that his family investments, including some separately owned by his wife, total between $336,000 and $3.2 million. His largest reported holding is a stake, between $100,000 and $1 million, in EMC, a Fortune 500 company making computer-storage devices. EMC was also one of Jacob's $100,000 to $1 million investments.
Cox's reported holdings of between $10,000 and $100,000 included interests in Medtronic, a pacemaker manufacturer; Home Depot; Sun Microsystems; and JDS Uniphase. He reported that his wife had a separate interest in Qualcomm of between $10,000 and $100,000. Like Jacob, Cox also reported that he owned between $2000 and $10,000 worth of stock in Leap Wireless.
Third on the list is District 5 supervisor Bill Horn, who valued his stock holdings between $88,000 and $630,000. Horn's investments included interests of between $2000 to $10,000 in Leap Wireless; $10,000 to $100,000 in Qualcomm; and $10,000 to $100,000 in Microsoft.
In addition, Horn said he owned interests in two public companies close to the heart of Padres owner Moores. The supervisor reported owning $2000 to $10,000 in Peregrine Systems, the Del Mar-based computer-software outfit of which Moores is chairman of the board and owns a large personal stake. Horn also reported owning between $2000 and $10,000 worth of a company called Bindview Software, in which Moores's JMI Equity Fund III was an original investor and to the board of which Moores was elected last summer. Horn also said he owned between $10,000 and $100,000 in each of Qualcomm and General Electric.
In the supervisors' investment rankings, after Horn comes boardmember Pam Slater, with a stock portfolio valued between $40,000 and $400,000. She reports holding just two stocks, Qualcomm and Leap Wireless, with an interest of between $10,000 and $100,000 in Leap and in holdings of between $30,000 and $300,000 in Qualcomm.
Picking up the rear is county supervisor Ron Roberts, whose reported stock interests ranged between $12,000 and $120,000, including an interest ranging between $2000 to $10,000 in Motorola and one between $10,000 and $100,000 in Qualcomm. But the most noteworthy Roberts holding is in Neon Systems, the Houston-based software outfit that last year proved the undoing of former San Diego councilwoman Valerie Stallings.
According to Roberts's disclosure filing, on February 18, 2000, he acquired Neon stock valued at between $10,000 and $100,000. On September 26 the same year, Roberts divested himself of the stock, which he continued to value at between $10,000 and $100,000. According to market records, during the time of the reported purchase, Neon was selling at about $35 a share. By the time Roberts reportedly sold the stock, it had a market value of approximately $12 a share, representing a considerable loss if he paid full market value for his original investment.
Stallings got into trouble after she acquired her Neon stock, through the aid and advice of Moores, during the company's initial public offering of $15 a share on March 5, 1999. She reported she sold that holding three weeks later, on March 31, when the shares were near their all-time peak of $50, for an estimated profit of 270 percent. Her office later announced, although it could not be independently verified, that she had cleared $7600 on an initial investment of less than $5000. That same day, Stallings voted in favor of moving ahead with a taxpayer-funded downtown stadium for the Padres.
Stallings bought another round of Neon stock she said was worth between $10,000 and $100,000 on November 26, 1999, when the shares were trading in the mid-20s. She finally unloaded those shares in January 23 of this year, the same day she resigned her city council seat as part of a plea bargain with state prosecutors. By then the stock had fallen to about $6 a share, the range in which it still languishes.
In addition to their burgeoning stock holdings, the supervisors reported getting numerous gifts of food, drink, entertainment, and lodging from those with business before the board. Roberts reported a $69 golfing date with contractor Jim Frager, one worth $103 from downtown parking magnate Scott Jones, and another valued at $70 from developer Dennis Moser. Attorney Michael Thorsnes picked up Roberts's $80 tab at the Trial Lawyers Dinner, and the Padres paid $86 for his tickets and a party on opening day. Roberts attended the Padres' Fourth of July game and picnic, thanks to the generosity of contractor Steve Roel ($120). The hotel-owning Evans family hosted him at their Holiday Party ($90). And developer Woody Brehm paid for him to go to the building industry's Sam Awards and installation dinners for a total of $216.
As in years past, Supervisor Pam Slater again depended on the local arts community for freebies to quench her thirst for culture, including one admission to the Mainly Mozart Festival dinner ($60); eight tickets to the North Coast Repertory Theatre ($232); six tickets to the Old Globe ($250); two tickets to the La Jolla Playhouse ($68); and four tickets to the San Diego Repertory Theatre ($88). Slater also picked up two free dinners worth $140 from La Jolla's Teresa Hixson, two more from lobbyist Bernie Rhinerson ($80), and another two from La Jolla's Richard Friedland ($70). The Rancho Santa Fe Community Center gave her two tickets to its annual dinner ($100), as did California State University at San Marcos ($70).
Slater, known for her trendy couture, also made sure to get her beauty sleep. In August, Slater, who lives in La Jolla, checked in for a free one-night stay worth $285 at downtown's Marriott Hotel and Marina. She included a note on her disclosure form explaining that the "hotel stay was prior to early-morning departure for distinguished visitors-at-sea period onboard aircraft carrier USS Stennis."
Supervisor Jacob reported fewer gifts than Slater but still managed to get out to the UCSD Cancer Center Association's "Swinging Cuisine Celebrity Chefs" event ($150) and the San Diego Domestic Violence Council's 11th Annual Anniversary Awards Gala ($50). She also went to the Rancho Santa Fe Association's "Early Delights" event ($74.95) and the East County Performing Arts Center's "Arabian Nights Gala" ($100). Like Slater, Jacob also logged time on the road, getting a gift of lodging at Julian's Orchard Hill Bed and Breakfast ($210). In February, she attended the Buick Invitational golf tournament ($175) and later went to the California Restaurant Association's Gold Medallion 2000 Awards Banquet and Auction ($85.28).
Another Padres opening-day attendee was supervisor Greg Cox ($86, including free parking). Cox and a companion also got in free to the preopening party of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on El Camino Real ($170), and he copped two tickets to the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce's "Chamber Chomp" ($60). Cox also showed up at grand opening of downtown's Buca di Beppo, a send-up of a traditional New York Italian blue-collar restaurant ($53).
The Flannery Group, a lobbying firm, gave Cox two tickets worth $100 to the "Bravo dinner," and Cox Communications (no relation) picked up $85 worth of admissions to a luncheon and an SDSU alumni dinner. Other free dinners included those for the Deputy Sheriffs' Association ($80); Urban League ($96); Center for Children Foundation ($90); San Diego Merchants Association ($70); NCG Porter Novelli ($55); San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau ($50); McMillin Companies ($158); and the local Republican's Lincoln Club ($70).
SAIC, a major county data processing contractor, paid $101 to host Cox at a "Holiday Gala"; Sempra Energy gave him free tickets to a Zoological Society dinner ($180); and the San Diego Daily Transcript newspaper gave him two dinner tickets worth $200. In a bow to the world of culture, Cox attended San Diego Symphony's Summer Pops gratis ($110).
Supervisor Bill Horn, an avocado rancher, reported the fewest gifts. Fellow grower Singh and Sons gave him a holiday dinner ($65), and NAPP Systems of San Marcos paid for him to attend a "Chamber Dinner" ($50). He went to dinners for the Lincoln Club ($150); the Deputy Sheriffs' Association ($80); and the California Waterfowl Association ($50).
Finally, all five of the supervisors reported getting free parking passes at Lindbergh Field, each valued at $96, from the San Diego Unified Port District, which also threw in a free pocket calendar that all said was worth $15.

An honest review, none of The Bull — BlogDailyHerald
By: Allison Gordon / October 9, 2015 / No Comments
4. The importance of costumes
After talking to the director Emily Garrison '16, I learned that the costumes, like the set pieces, came entirely from the students. Because the cast was so small, I noticed the details of their dress even more. On stage, Tony and Isobel looked like corporate royalty. Hearing these executive foul words spew from the lips of these executives was jarring and very effective.
5. Different types of insecurities
As you can probably gather, these characters are bloodthirsty. Their insults stray from the typical; every remark is pointed and intended to evoke an emotional response. Tony and Isobel are master manipulators. They attack Thomas on a host of levels: insulting his clothes, his short physique, his flabby waistline, his stupidity, even his integrity. Nothing in The Bull is sugarcoated. Characters delight in going for the jugular, preying upon old insecurities and ripping them to shreds.
6. Motivations of cruelty
In my opinion, the final scene is the most impactful. Although both Thomas and Isobel are on stage, we recognize that this is Isobel's moment, her last chance to fully dig her claws into Thomas. Enthralled by her vicious attack, I had to wonder, "How could anyone be so mean?" As if in response, Isobel screams justifications. She announces that "you bring this upon yourself" and that there is an instinctive "need to bring you down." Following this twisted logic, her argument almost makes sense.
The Bull is only an hour (perfect for those of us, myself included, spending too much time on the Main Green and not enough time studying for midterms). The director cranks the tempo up all the way, and the speed of the show is jolting and without respite.
The characters' timing should not be overlooked. The lines are quick and biting, more like snippets of conversation than complete thoughts. In regard to individual voices, Carter's delivery is spot on. She exudes condescension at all the right times, and her corrosive words ultimately shatter Thomas.
9. Symbolism of the last scene
The final scene is rife with symbolism. That's all I'll tell you for now; when you witness this last moment for yourself, you'll get where I'm coming from. When the light is extinguished, we collectively release a sigh of relief we hadn't realized was stifled the whole time. Again, The Bull is not for the weak of heart. The direction forces us to feel, get close to the fire, and try our best to avoid the flames.
10. This show rocks.
As a first time visitor to the Upspace, I was spellbound by this student-run performance. Garrison's direction was mature and thought-provoking. The Bull will be performed on October 8th at 9 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. and on October 9th at 8 p.m.

This kitchen renovation eases congestion in several of the home’s tight spaces for better overall function and livability. Our solution included creating a continuous space between the kitchen and dining room and opening a passage from the dining room into the yard.
The design responds to the client’s modern taste and unique demands, including a complete suite of new appliances acquired on CraigsList. We incorporated a stainless sink and integrated countertop crafted by a friend of the client. Insulation was added both for energy efficiency and as a buffer to street noise. Custom cabinet doors are made of a manufactured wood product with a strong horizontal grain to complement the space.
Upstairs, we converted an unfinished attic into a master bedroom and bath—without losing the character of the original space. An open floor plan and liberal use of skylights give the room a light and expansive feel.

Harry "Skip" Wilson honored as Lightning Community Hero
The Tampa Bay Lightning honored Harry "Skip" Wilson as the 21st Lightning Community Hero this season
TAMPA BAY - The Tampa Bay Lightning honored Skip Wilson as the 21st Lightning Community Hero this season during the first period of tonight's game versus the Carolina Hurricanes. Wilson, who received a $50,000 donation from the Lightning Foundation and the Lightning Community Heroes program, will donate the funds to Family Promise of Greater Brandon so that the organization can continue helping families in the community.
Skip, a retired Air Force Reservist, recognized the trend of families in Hillsborough County who are caught in the cycle of homelessness. Because of this, his vision and leadership skills, along with countless hours of hard work, resulted in the creation of a nonprofit organization called Family Promise of Greater Brandon. The organization is now three years old and partners with homeless families to help them regain their independence and find permanent housing. The impact of Skip's work is immeasurable because with each family helped, the cycle of homeless is broken.
Through mandatory education and accountability, the Family Promise program enables moms and dads to reenter the workforce and provide for their families. It also offers stability for infants, toddlers and school age children who struggle with the stigma associated with being homeless. The belief in giving struggling families a hand up rather than just a hand out is truly what drives Skip's passion. He will do whatever it takes to make this community a better place, one family at a time.
Skip Wilson becomes the 292nd Lightning Community Hero since Jeff and Penny Vinik introduced the Lightning Community Hero program in 2011-12 with a $10 million, five-season commitment to the Tampa Bay community. Through this evening's game, in total, the Lightning Foundation has granted $14.7 million to more than 300 different nonprofits in the Greater Tampa Bay area. During the summer of 2016, the Vinik's announced that the community hero program will give away another $10-million over the next five seasons.

Forestry practice leads to a surprising discovery | NRCS Massachusetts
/ Forestry practice leads to a surprising discovery
Forestry practice leads to a surprising discovery Jack Lochhead, Forest Land Owner | Conway, Massachusetts
Jack Lochhead's 250 acres of forest land in Conway, Massachusetts has been in active forest management for nearly 30 years. He recently discovered a lon American chestnut tree deep in the woods near his oak regeneration project site.
Brian Clark (left), a local representative of the American Chestnut Foundation, shows JackLochhead the special bag used to pollinate American chestnut trees.
Chestnuts have burrs that make them impervious to predators. The spines can go through heavy leather gloves. Predators generally leave the nuts alone until they open.
Oak saplings began to appear within one year after the oak regeneration project began.
Lochhead, a retired math and physics educator who taught at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and institutions in New York City and Boston, moved into his home in the early 1970s. Soon thereafter, he set out to buy the land surrounding the house because he didn�t want someone else building a house next to his.
Once he accomplished that goal, he realized that he needed to figure out what to do with the 250 acres of woodland. A forester in town approached Lochhead and asked if he had thought about forest management on his land.
"At that time there were government programs that paid for thinning cuts," explains Lochhead. "So we've had our land under active forest management plans since sometime in the 1980s."
More recently, Lochhead learned from forester Mary Wigmore about the Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP) available through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), which could provide him with technical and financial assistance for forestry practices.
"People from the NRCS office in Greenfield came out and we walked the land looking for potential sites for oak regeneration," says Lochhead, referring to a conservation practice that calls for land around existing oak trees to be cleared to allow new oaks to take hold.
Oak regeneration is practiced in parts of Massachusetts because, historically, land was cleared for farming and timber harvesting, which led to the dominance of other species when the forest began to grow back.
"Oak regeneration is not quite as drastic as a clear cut because each big oak should have its trunk shielded from the afternoon sun and if there are enough big oaks, you get these clumps of trees that are left," explains Lochhead.
"We put [the project site] deep in the forest so if it didn't look good, we knew it would grow back soon enough. We're pleased about how it worked out visually. There are a lot of oak seedlings coming up only a year after the cut," says Lochhead.
That decision to put the four acre oak regeneration project deep in the woods lead to a startling discovery.
"Prior to the cut, we had been walking through the woods with a friend of ours," remembers Lochhead. "She looked down at the ground and said 'You've got chestnuts here.' It was in the fall and the nuts had just fallen."
What Lochhead's friend had discovered was a lone American Chestnut tree, a large, deciduous tree species of the beech family that was one of the most important forest trees in eastern North America before it was devastated by the chestnut blight, a fungal disease.
Lochhead's forester recommended that he call Brian Clark of Ashfield, the local representative for The American Chestnut Foundaton (TACF). "He came out right away, within a few hours of when I called him. We walked up and took a look. He said "Yeah, that's an American Chestnut and it's in good health," recalls Lochhead.
Lochhead asked the logger who was clearing the land for oak regeneration to ensure that the chestnut tree didn't get cut down or hurt in the operation. Clark told Lochhead that clearing the area next to the chestnut was the right thing to do.
"Because it's right on the edge of the clear cut, it's really opening up to a lot more light than it got before, so it's a much more vigorous tree now," says Lochhead.
Due to the rarity of American Chestnut trees, TACF has a breeding program to pollinate and collect chestnuts from surviving trees.
"The trees that we use in the breeding program, we refer to as 'mother' trees," explains Clark. "Many of the trees we use as mother trees are the size of Jack's. We do a controlled pollination with pollen that we get from TACF."
"You put bags over the female flowers before they become receptive to being pollinated. The normal process is that every tenth bag, you don't pollinate, that way, if there are viable nuts, you know whether there was any wild pollen present," says Clark.
"We want to make sure that the nuts that are harvested in the fall are the ones that are pollinated by our pollen source and not some other tree on the odd chance there might be another chestnut around somewhere," says Clark.
The tree was pollinated with a mixed strain of Chinese Chestnut, which is resistant to the blight, and American Chestnut. The goal is to produce a tree that is more like the American Chestnut than the Chinese because the Chinese is more like a bush.
The pollination bag is a special bag made of heavy waxed paper for this purpose and will survive the summer on the tree. The bag is twisted and secured with a wire twist tie.
The nuts are harvested, then planted in a small area. As the seedlings come up, they're deliberately infected with the blight. Those that stay healthy will be transplanted into an orchard where they'll grow to full size.
The problem with pollinating Lochhead's tree is that getting to the location requires a four-wheel drive vehicle. A 50 foot crane is needed to reach the chestnuts.
TACF has arrangements with utility companies that lend bucket trucks to help fertilize chestnut trees. The typical bucket truck, however, is designed for use on the road and wouldn't be able to get up the hill to Lochhead's site.
Clark eventually found a company in Vermont that has a bucket on a crawler.
"The chestnut, as I understand it, was a far more important food source to wildlife than the acorn," explains Lochhead. "There are theories that some wildlife were wiped out by lack of the chestnut. Prey species that ate chestnuts were diminished in numbers until the point where predators like the lynx didn't have enough food and disappeared."
"If the chestnut can be brought back, it will have a tremendous impact on the wood industry and it will very likely change the nature of wildlife in the forest," says Lochhead, noting that TACF believes that they're within 10 years of having saplings that they can start producing in numbers that will be blight resistant.
Lochhead, who is also receiving assistance through WHIP for removal of invasive barberry, honeysuckle, winged euonymus and multiflora rose on 240 acres, has enjoyed his experience working with the NRCS Greenfield staff. Now he's trying to get other landowners along the South River interested in doing similar work.
"If they can see a concrete example of what a neighbor has done, that's very interesting to them," says Lochhead.

Downing Street Says » Operation SINBAD
» Monday, February 19, 2007
Operation SINBAD
« Petitions | Back to most recent briefing | Health »
Asked if there would be a Prime Ministerial statement now that Operation SINBAD had finished, the Prime Minister's Official Spokesman (PMOS) replied that as the Prime Minister had said yesterday, SINBAD had now been completed, and it was being assessed. What we had always said was that at some stage, there would be a statement, and that was still the case. In terms of the timing, people should wait and see.
Put that reports said it would be delayed and therefore, not this month, the PMOS said that he had not seen those reports, and would not necessarily follow them but the Prime Minister and colleagues would assess them, and then decide the way forward.
Asked if the Operation was considered a successful, the PMOS said it had been, in terms of the process of getting the Iraqis in control in Basra. It had also just as importantly established infrastructure projects that were continuing and which were highly useful.
Asked if the Prime Minister believed that the Iraqis were in control in Basra, the PMOS said that they were increasingly in control in Basra, but people should wait for the Prime Minister's statement for the full assessment, as the PMOS said he was not going to pre-empt it.

Deadzone – Rebs Teraton Finished!
February 21, 2014 / Deathwatch Studios / 2 Comments
That's the last addition to my starting Rebs strike team done and dusted, and here she is…
With the strike team finished I'm lookinf forward to getting in a few games with them, but it also means I need to get cracking with the scenery. Don't want to be playing on grey plastic buildings with these guys for too long 🙂

February 20, 2014 February 20, 2014 / Deathwatch Studios / Leave a comment
Now it's onto the final model for my starting Rebs force, the giant teleporting turtle….
Teraton Back
I'll be following much of the same colour scheme for the Interceptors on this one as this is the closest model in relation to them. I will be keeping the red to a minimum however, as I've done with the rest of the Rebs 🙂
Deadzone – Rebs Grogans Finished!
February 19, 2014 / Deathwatch Studios / 3 Comments
Bam, another slice of the Rebs are done :), and with that I have some mega awesome firepower and only one figure to go…
Grogans Back
Last but certainly not least I have the Teraton, which is one muckle figure, to go and I should be getting stuck into him very soon 🙂
Deadzone – Rebs Grogans Started!
February 18, 2014 / Deathwatch Studios / Leave a comment
Time to add some big guns to my Rebs force 🙂
So far just the flesh and the armour finished on these guys, so still a fair bit of work to go into them.
As you can see I managed to pick up an extra desolater, although I'm now wishing I'd grabbed the extra onslaught cannon whilst I was at it. Powerful as the desolater may be, having already zapped a few enemies straight out f the battlefield in the games I've played, I think the onslaught cannon provides s more reliable option. It's a couple of points cheaper but also starts with a very reliable 5 dice. Even though it can only blaze away, it gives a very reliable ability to keep enemies heads down or even finish off already subdued models. Gonna have to keep my eyes peeled and try and get ahold of another one 🙂
Deadzone – Rebs Yndij Finished!
February 17, 2014 / Deathwatch Studios / Leave a comment
Another batch of aliens have joined the Rebellion 🙂 …
Yndij Back
And with that it is only the Grogans and the Teraton that needs painted before the Rebs are finished, well, until the booster packs are released 🙂
Another enjoyable batch to paint, and had fun trying to get the right kind of reddy brown. In the end I used the following combo:
Doombull Brown basecoat
Light coat of Mephiston Red, leaving the recesses and a little bit of the underside sections the original colour
Deadzone – Rebs Soraks Finished!
February 14, 2014 February 14, 2014 / Deathwatch Studios / Leave a comment
Wooo! More Rebs finished! That's the Sorak section of the strike force out the way and here they are….
Soraks Back
Pleased with how they have turned out, apart from the bases being a little too 'dirty'. May have to go back and define them a wee bit more.
Dreadball – Rebs Soraks Started!
February 12, 2014 / Deathwatch Studios / Leave a comment
Onto the next section of the Rebs faction, the Soraks…
So far it's only the armour and the basecoat on the flesh done, as you can see., but it shouldn't be long before I've got a lot more done. Still trying to figure out which sections to paint red to tie them in with the rest of the force, but thinking it may be the gun at this point.

Morrison’s election is a setback for refugees, but we know that this is a government that can be fought. Morrison was forced against his wishes to get kids of Nauru.
Come to a post-election strategy discussion hosted by the Refugee Action Collective, to discuss how we can strengthen the refugee movement to get everyone off Manus and Nauru.
We will discuss how we can respond to the re-elected Morrison government, why Morrison no mandate for anti-refugee racism, campaign priorities and ideas, and we will be organising the July 20 Bring Them Here rally
https://www.facebook.com/events/598607583941444
We will also have a comprehensive legal update.
Whether you are affiliated with a refugee activist /advocacy group or you are an independent activist, you are welcome to come along with your ideas. All refugee rights supporters welcome.

Snap Rally:
No Mandate for Refugee Racism – Bring the Refugees Here
Free Priya, Nades & Family
The return of the Morrison government is bad news for refugees.
Priya, Nades and their family now face imminent deportation, and the possibility of immediately getting 150 refugees off Manus and Nauru to NZ is off the table.
But there is no mandate for the refugee cruelty that has marked the last six years of Coalition rule. Refugees barely featured in the election campaign, Morrison has no mandate of his own. He has no mandate for indefinite detention, and no mandate for deportations to danger.
Morrison’s election is a setback but we know that this is a government that can be fought. Morrison was forced against his wishes to get kids of Nauru. That was won together in solidarity with the struggles of refugees themselves, by refusing to be silent, by being active on the streets, and in our workplaces and campuses. Join us this Friday to redouble our efforts to Free Priya, Nades & Family, to Close Manus and Nauru, and Bring the Refugees Here.

Motivational Interviewing: the change YOU can't make – Teenage Whisperer Troubled Teens Challenging Behaviour Youth at Risk Adolescent Mental Health
It doesn't take a genius to work out that you can't make a teenager do what he or she doesn't want to do. You can't make them change. You dig your heels in, they'll dig theirs in further. You shout at them, they'll shout louder.
Coercion can get short term results, but as a long term strategy it is fundamentally flawed. It is not only exhausting, but in the end resentment will build and as soon as they sense you no longer have control, they will revert to their preferred behaviour which is the exact opposite of what you want for them.
Respect for one another and real change cannot thrive in a purely coercive environment. We must remember that teens are on the pathway to independence and if you do not recognise and respect this inevitability and deal with them as cogniscent, thinking people with their own opinions, then you are eventually going to come unstuck.
This doesn't mean that you are powerless, far from it. With the right tools at your disposal you can address their behaviour and help them navigate the difficulties of teen life in a supportive, respectful way. To help a teen change their behaviour, their education or employment circumstances, anything where a change is to be made, the core principle that needs to be recognised is that only they have the power to make their own decisions and as a result only they can decide to change. You can advise, erect signposts, even write what you want them to do in the sky, but only they can decide to listen and engage. In the end, teens will always go their own way; it's just a matter of how much their way coincides with your way. But it is always up to them.
So you can't change a person and least of all a teen. What you can do however, is maximise their willingness to listen to you, and even more importantly, maximise their willingness to really dig down and listen to themselves so that they can come to the best decisions for themselves.
But how? In my experience the best way to achieve this is to use a Motivational Interviewing approach.
The Motivational Interviewing method originated in the field of alcohol abuse therapy (Miller & Rollnik 1991) but has now spread far and wide into all areas where change is desired. It is now used in health, social care, criminal justice and education settings. It is a gentle, non-confrontational, positive, collaborative method for working with clients that acknowledges and brings to the fore the fact that they are the best experts on themselves. So rather than sessions being something that is 'done to' them, it is something that they are central in shaping, and it starts very much from where they are in terms of readiness to change. Some will be wanting to change but haven't successfully achieved this, others won't even feel they want to.
At its core, as its name suggests, is the idea that rather than 'piling in' with loads of strategies on how to cope with a problem and 'dishing out' advice, it ensures that a client is actually wanting to change first and aims to get them to that point by helping them explore and resolve their ambivalence to change and find their intrinsic motivation for change. In short, it recognises that you can't change someone who doesn't want to change.
And even when they do get to the point where they want to change, it is about helping them make personal decisions about how they wish to accomplish that change. Instead of preaching or providing unsolicited advice which they will invariably resist, you evoke and elicit. You draw out of them their reasons for wanting to change and any concerns they might have about it. You provide them with information and resources that might help them change and you elicit from them their opinion on that approach and how they think it could apply to them and what their concerns are about it. You also establish whether they have better ideas about how to deal with their problem.
It's all about drawing out their motivation from within themselves and engaging them in the process, helping them to visualise where they want to be and how to get there and how to avoid the pitfalls and hurdles on the way. This way they retain their autonomy, they retain control and you collaborate with them in finding the best way to change and the best way to maintain that change. You make it clear that they are the ones with the power to decide and that you are the guiding guest in this process- they own it. It's about helping them to help themselves by minimising reasons for them to resist the change and maximising their reasons for making the change.
This spirit of Motivational Interviewing is nicely summarised with the acronym ACE: Autonomy (only they have the power to change their lives), Collaboration (work together rather than just dishing out unsolicited advice), and Evocation (evoke and elicit reasons for and concerns about change).
But how do you actually, practically deliver this Motivational Interviewing style of interaction?
There are four main techniques (OARS) for guiding conversation towards change.
1. Open-ended questions
2. Affirm
4. Summarise
Open-ended questions draw out far more information from a client than closed questions and cause them to really reflect on their lives, their thoughts and their actions. They also can provide you with valuable information on what might motivate them to change. For example, it is easy to see that the closed question, "Do you think your offending is a problem?" will garner far less reflection and information than the question, "What problems has your offending caused for you?" In addition, closed questions can lead to a client feeling like you are trying to trick them into accepting your way of thinking or a particular treatment. Open questions are far better for increasing internal motivation to change.
Compare this interaction…
Agent: You don't think your drug use is a problem?
Offender: Not really. When I used to use, I would just do it every once in
a while, and I can't see how it really hurt anything.
A: How about your kids? Don't you think that your drug use has a negative impact on them?
O: No, because they didn't see me use.
A: Even if you don't use in front of them, aren't you afraid that it might put them at risk? I mean, how can you care for your kids if you're high?
O: It doesn't really affect them. Because when I used to use a neighbor always took care of them. She just kept them overnight.
…with more open questions like these:
A: What concerns do you (does your wife, girlfriend, children etc.) have about your drug use?
■ How has this caused trouble for you?
■ What do you think might happen to your kids if you overdosed?
■ If you did go ahead and finish this class, how would that make things better for you?
(adapted from Walters et al 2007, p.31)
Affirmations build rapport, provide feedback and make positive behaviours more likely. Affirmations can be given for something a client has done, e.g. "Well done for getting here on time", or can point towards something admirable or interesting about the person, e.g. "You really look out for your sister don't you?". They can also increase a client's appreciation of their own thinking skills. e.g. "How did you know that would work?". It goes without saying that offering affirmations will build self-esteem, will further strengthen your relationship with your client, will build trust and more open conversations will ensue which will aid you in guiding them towards contemplating and achieving change.
Reflections are statements of what you believe a client is saying (and thinking). They show the client that you are listening to what they are saying and are really trying to understand them. It also helps in actually gaining an accurate understanding of what has been said. This might consist of stripping what has been said down to its bare bones, "So you're angry" and also paraphrasing what has been said and guessing what would come next if the client had continued to talk, "So your teacher didn't listen to you… and that made you angry".
Using reflections gives real momentum to conversations as the client can correct misunderstandings and elaborate further. In addition, hearing what they have said helps clients to process their thoughts more easily. Just like when you might read something aloud to help understand it, so the same goes with reflecting clients statements. By hearing their thoughts repeated aloud it better enables them to make links between what they have said and to notice any discrepancies, which is an important step in beginning to contemplate change.
A key use of reflection is in 'Rolling-with-resistance'. If your client states something that you disagree with, rather than entering a debate with them where they end up giving arguments against change and being more resistant, you avoid challenging them and 'roll with the resistance'. To do this you reflect back what they have said and thereby use the client's momentum to further explore their views.
For example if they state, "I wouldn't be in this care home if my stupid foster carer hadn't been such a cow." you can respond with, "You're upset with your foster carer" [reflects the emotion] or "The reason you are in the care home is because of your foster carer" [restates their statement]. You aren't agreeing or disagreeing with them and thereby stalling the conversation. Instead, you are inviting them to say more. In the course of further discussion and with appropriate open-ended questions you can often end up with the client changing their own mind after fully exploring their opinion and the context and noticing any discrepances in their thinking.
Summarising is central to the goal-oriented aspect of Motivational Interviewing. Summarising what has been said is an important tool as it helps to confirm what has been achieved and gives future discussion and action a direction. Summaries highlight the major discussion points, help to clarify any agreed action plan and helps to confirm for both you and the client why they have decided to take action and what the consequences may be of succeeding or not. In addition summarising enables the emphasis on positive steps forward that have been made that you wish to positively reinforce and affirm.
"OK, so it looks like we're about out of time. We've been covering some of the conditions of your supervision.You thought that the fees would not be a problem, and we've agreed on a fee schedule.You thought it would just be easier to get the drug assessment out of the way, but at this point, you have some real mixed feelings about completing the batterer intervention class.You're aware that it's one of your conditions, but it's kind of costly, will take several weeks, and seems like it might be a waste of your time. That's certainly understandable, since it's a supervision order. We can revisit that next session if you want to take some time to think about it, and we can also talk about your community service options. I know this is a lot to cover in 20 minutes, but it I do appreciate your willingness to work with me. Is there anything else I need to know?" Walters et al 2007, p.42)
The above synopsis of Motivational Interviewing is the absolute bare bones of what it is and I hope that it has piqued your interest if you have not come across it before. I will be covering more elements of this style of interaction in future posts but if you are hungry for more right now I can highly recommend the resources listed at the bottom of this post.
With Motivational Interviewing you need to be very mindful that to get it right requires a lot of practice and a lot of reflection on your sessions, particularly in the early days. It is very easy to forget certain techniques or misapply them, so keeping up your reading in this area is strongly advisable. The Motivational Interviewing website is really good for this.
Motivational Interviewing is a highly rewarding method when working with people when trying to change their lives for the better. It really does work. Two relatively recent reviews of more than 70 Motivational Interviewing outcome studies in different areas strongly supported the effectiveness of this approach (Hettema et al 2005; Rubak et al 2005). I have personally found that it actually makes engaging with the most difficult and challenging young people a lot less hard work than any other method I have used. If you get off your professional power-trip (which we all have from time to time!) and hand over the reigns to teenagers their capacity for change will surprise you. Yes, you do need to guide them, but their astounding inner potential when properly harnessed is what will ultimately change them, not you.
I highly recommend the book, 'Motivational Interviewing with Adolescents and Young Adults'. This is an extremely accessible and engaging book that is very practice-oriented and geared directly towards working with adolescents. It shows a wide range of applications for the method, with excellent strategies and phrases to employ. If you really want to understand the Motivational Interviewing method and how to practically apply it in your work with teens, buying a copy of this book is highly recommended. Amazon has 'Look Inside' so you can take a look without purchase- click on the links here.
Walters, S.T. et al (2007) Motivating Offenders to Change: A Guide for Probation & Parole (Washington DC:US Department of Justice)
An excellently written book that is extremely accessible and provides a huge number of practical scripted scenarios and exercises. Cannot recommend highly enough, even if you are not in the criminal justice field. AND it's free to download!(pdf)
Motivational Interviewing website has many valuable resources and also an 8 minute video on the background to MI.

Feds test cars that can talk | Deseret News
UtahFeds test cars that can talk
Associated Press Published: Aug. 21, 2012 9:00 p.m.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — In a few weeks, about 2,800 cars, trucks and buses will start talking to each other on the streets of Ann Arbor, Mich., in a giant experiment that government officials are hoping will lead to safer roads.
Wireless devices will allow the vehicles to send signals to each other, warning their drivers of potential dangers such as stopped traffic or cars that might be blowing through a red light. They can even get traffic lights to turn green if no cars are coming the other way.
The U.S. Department of Transportation and the University of Michigan are hoping the year-long, $25 million project generates data that show the devices can cut down on traffic crashes. Officials say eventually this could lead to the devices going in every car. About 500 vehicles with the devices are now on the roads. That will rise to 2,800 in about six weeks, officials said Tuesday.
"This is a big day for safety," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said at an event at the university formally kicking off the experiment. "We'll use this information to decide if vehicle technology can be applied to daily lives."
More than 32,000 people died last year in U.S. traffic crashes, down 1.7 percent from 2010. The number of crashes has fallen in recent years as automakers added safety devices such as air bags, antilock brakes and stability control, which helps drivers keep cars under control in emergency situations.
But LaHood said Tuesday that 80 percent of crashes in which the drivers aren't impaired by drugs or alcohol could be prevented — or the severity reduced — if cars could talk to each other.
When the technology will make its way into cars and trucks everywhere is unclear. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has the authority to order the devices placed in all new cars, but LaHood said they'll have to study the data before making any decision. The data will be available in about a year.
Peter Sweatman, director of the institute, said testers will look for data showing that the warnings prevented crashes. Previous tests, on a smaller scale, showed the devices can stop crashes, he said.
"I think this is going to kick everything off," he said. "This is going to move everything forward."
Automakers have been adding safety devices such blind-spot warning detectors that warn a driver if there's a car in an adjoining lane, and radar-activated cruise control that can slow cars down if they're approaching an object too fast. The experiment should help tie them together, officials said.

Letters from Katie Luther: A Novel is a fictionalized biography. Katie's best friend shares Katie's letters and recounts her memories of Katie from the time they escaped a convent as young adults to Katie's death at the age of 53.
Middle grade girls (ages 8-12), though some boys might also take interest in it too. Most children who read this book will be Christians familiar with the Protestant Reformation and the father of the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther (the husband of the main character). Most children who read this book live in the United States.
- Please design the front cover, back cover, and spine
- The book will be 5 ½ inches wide by 8 ½ inches tall
- Please have clothing and any architecture, décor, etc. typical of the time and place of the book: Western Germany from 1523 to 1552 (Katie is 53 when she dies in December 1552.)
- See some of the attached photos to get an idea of clothing
- Please have the focus of the cover be Katie, not Ave. Ave does not necessarily need to be represented.
Possible cover ideas:
- Represent the fact that Katie is writing letters to Ave
- Represent one or more of Katie's children with her (she had a very strong bond with all of them). To give you an idea of how old Katie and the child/children would need to be, please use the following information about Katie's children:
Hans was born in 1526 when Katie was 27
Magdalena was born in 1529 when Katie was 30. NOTE: Magdalena died in 1542.
Martin was born in 1531 when Katie was 32.
Paul was born in 1533 when Katie was 34.
Magdalena was born in 1534 when Katie was 35.
(Katie did have one other daughter in December 1527, but the daughter died 8 months later.)
- A classic font would probably be best for the title text, but a slightly modern font would not necessarily need to be ruled out.

Shakshouka - by Kirsten Bradley and Nick Ritar Recipe | AGFG

The OddBlog: Monkeys from Mars
During the height of the UFO craze in 1950's America, a butcher and two barbers pulled a hoax that garnered national attention:
Edward Watters, Tom Wilson, and Arnold Payne secured a monkey's carcass, shaved it, dyed it green, and cut off its tail. They then used a blowtorch to scorch a ring in the middle of a local highway and left the body there. They reported seeing a "large, red saucer" in the middle of the road, surrounded by 2'-tall creatures, and that they had hit one with their truck.
A police officer took the bizarre report on July 7, 1953, and within hours, the Decatur, GA, police station was flooded with phonecalls from all manner of bureaus and investigative agencies, including the Air Force.
But the founder of the local GBI office, Dr. Herman Jones, and an anthropology professor from Emory, Dr. Marion Hines, unraveled the mystery within hours. By then, the story had made national headlines. While the men were fined a modest sum for obstructing a roadway, Dr. Jones was credited for bringing forensic science to the Southern state of Georgia.
You can see the monkey, along with many other oddities, at the Decatur, GA Bureau of Investigation mini-museum -- by appointment only.

If you have Greek heritage, our Greek baby bedding will help your kids learn about their ancestry. But even if you don't have family from Greece, this crib bedding makes a wonderful nursery decoration. That's because we all have a deep cultural and philosophical heritage that goes back to the myths, architecture and thinkers of ancient Greece. So choose baby bedding with fun images of Greek gods, mythological creatures and fantastical buildings.
Start with a baby blanket that showcases the mightiest god of Greece. Bearded Zeus is seen here in a white toga as he raises a yellow lightning bolt and prepares to launch it from his perch atop a dark gray cloud. Another powerful Greek god is pictured on crib bedding that exhibits a drawing of Poseidon.
The god of the seas is seen with a golden crown atop his blond hair and beard as he triumphantly holds his famous trident in one hand. Your kids will be amazed by the beauty and magic of the winged horse Pegasus seen flying over white clouds on their toddler bedding. Teach your youngsters about the cleverness and adventure of the Trojan horse with Greek baby bedding that shows the brown wooden horse as a cartoon set against a white background.
Then select a customized blanket that displays a Greek astronomer drawing comets on a papyrus scroll as he gazes at the moon and night sky overhead. We also have Greek themed baby bedding that will inspire your kids to learn the wisdom of the past. These include depictions of a philosopher wearing a green wreath around his head and white robe around his body as he solemnly raises a finger in the air.
Capture all of the dynamic stories of Greece in your kid's bedroom by adding Greek window drapes and rugs.

Picking baby bedding is not as straightforward as it sounds and you may want to examine several elements before purchasing. One important factor to think about is the material that will be employed. You might locate other inexpensive greek child's bedding on the market but it likely has fabrics that can bother your child's tender skin. One more factor to pay attention to is permeability and density. Change the bulk of whichever baby bedding you choose to embrace your baby based on their size. Vision Bedding's big kid duvets and comforters are made from lasting fabrics and are machine washable which is useful for that cute rugrat who is developing the ability to wander and get messy.

Leap and the Net Will Appear! - FIRST HAND WOMAN
Crazy Great Lesson Learned!
I find that revisiting the journey that I went through in the months that lead up to FIRST HAND WOMAN's world debut last month, is sort of like… Amazing + Brain Melt.
Diving in the way I did was kinda like skydiving when you're afraid of heights and planes – You can read about that little adventure of mine HERE. 😉
So here is the most amazing thing that leaping into FIRST HAND WOMAN's Montreal debut taught me:
Yep, it is hard to produce, write and act in a production staged for a city you don't live in, using your own bank account, while bringing along your cast and crew for the ride — especially with a debut theatrical production that you strongly believe in.
Very hard, in fact.
However, I'm finding that the rewards far outweigh the fatigue, the self-doubt and the fears. The opportunity for FIRST HAND WOMAN to finally reach out across the stage lights and engage an audience makes every sleepless night worthwhile:
Funny, uplifting, earth-shatteringly sad at times, this is mandatory fringing for any woman who's survived a bad breakup, or any person who has ever loved, and lost either someone else, or themselves."
– Sara, Montreal audience member
Taking that risk made me feel unbelievably alive and like I was working towards something that could actually do some good out in the world. Crazy great feeling!
Yes, stepping outside of your comfort zone can be unbelievably uncomfortable, and I highly recommend that you leap outside of it at every opportunity. 🙂
Soooo… Here's where you come in, and in light of my own risk-taking, this one's a doozy. I want you to write down a list of 5 things that you're too scared to do AND why. This might be a tough exercise to do, so if you need to, set some time aside to do it fully. It's all in the "why" with this exercise, so please remember to be kind with yourself when you're finished with this first part.
Next… I want you to look at the flip side and write down the reasons why you want to do these things. Really dig deep here. No skimping on the amazingness that's inherently there, okay? Let yourself dream wildly!
Alright, lastly, when you've finished this exercise, I want you to come back here and leave a comment exclaiming one thing from your list of 5 that you want to accomplish in your lifetime. Scary right? I completely get it. But I know you can take this first step. Courraggio!!!
This is a tough one, so great job for taking it on!
PS – If you still haven't read my blog about the time I went skydiving for the symbolism of it, I suspect this might be a great time to do so. Check it out HERE. Xoxo

networking - Java TCP socket: data transfer is slow - Stack Overflow
Now, I try to push a "lot" of data from the client to the server through the socket's output stream. It takes 23 minutes to transfer 0.6Gb. I can push a much larger file in seconds via scp.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I'm basically just looping and calling writeInt on the socket. The speed issue doesn't matter where the data is coming from, even if I'm just sending a constant integer and not reading from disk.
I tried setting the send and receive buffer on both sides to 4Mb, no dice. I use a buffered stream for the reader and writer, no dice.
Here's where I make the socket
input = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(sock.getInputStream()));
Here's where I do the server-side connection:
System.out.println("Got a connection. Sending them to port " + currPort);
System.out.println("Done listening. Dispatching instructions.");
Alright, here's where I'm shipping over ~0.6Gb of data.
for (int z=0; z < termDelta.length; z++) {
for (int i=0; i < termDelta[z].size(); i++) {
It seems pretty straightforward so far...

Please post code for both client and server.
Jul 23 '09 at 5:26
Yeah you're definitely missing something. Not sure what though. You should post snippets of the server and client code.
Jul 23 '09 at 5:27
What is the value of RECEIVE_BUFFER_SIZE and SEND_BUFFER_SIZE? I have strong suspicion that you actually send a packet for every 4 bytes...
You do not want to write single bytes when you are transferring large amounts of data.
This copies 1 GiB of data in short over 19 seconds on my machine. The key here is using the InputStream.read and OutputStream.write methods that accept a byte array as parameter. The size of the buffer is not really important, it just should be a bit larger than, say, 5. Experiment with BUFFER_SIZE above to see how it effects the speed but also keep in mind that it probably is different for every machine you are running this program on. 64 KiB seem to be a good compromise.
Awesome-- thank you so much. See my comment to ignasi35 below about what could be wrong with wrapping a socket's streams in DataxxxxStream. I have no idea why that's so slow, especially because transfers are on the order of seconds even using just a 4-byte buffer to push the integers vs DataxxxxxStream.yyyyInt(), which should (hopefully) be doing that 4-byte buffering behind the scenes, but apparently is doing something totally crazy instead
Did you transfer that 1GiB on localhost or through the Internet?
Speed is still very slow when data is transferred between two different machine(not LOCAL HOST) even using your code.
Hey, I figured I'd follow up for anyone that was interested.
Here's the bizarre moral of the story:
NEVER USE DataInputStream/DataOutputStream and sockets!!
If I wrap the socket in a BufferedOutputStream/BufferedInputStream, life is great. Writing to it raw is just fine.
But wrap the socket in a DataInputStream/DataOutputStream, or even have DataOutputStream(BufferedOutputStream(sock.getOutputStream())) is EXTREMELY SLOW.
An explanation for that would be really interesting to me. But after swapping everything in and out, this is what's up. Try it yourself if you don't believe me.
Thanks for all the quick help, though.
DataInputStream doesn't buffer. If you write say 1 or some other very low number of bytes to a non buffered stream, performance will go down the drain. You also call get/setReceiveBufferSize. That's something you only do when you KNOW you are smarter than the TCP stack
DataXXXStreams also invoke the default serialization scheme which is known to be very slow. You definitely should avoid them for large transfers.
The speed of writing to a DataOutputStream is *identical to the speed of writing to the underlying OutputStream, minus the overhead of one method call. Similarly, the speed of reading from a DataInputStream is identical to the speed of reading from the underlying InputStream, with the same caveat. @markbernard DataXXXStreams have precisely nothing to do with 'the default serialization scheme'.
@EJP My bad. I was thinking ObjectXXXStreams
Maybe you should try sending ur data in chunks(frames) instead of writing each byte seperately. And align your frames with the TCP packet size for best performance.

This small size of each write is the root of the problem. As the link is relatively fast it will send a packet afet every write of an integer. This packet will be wrapped in an IP packet and the TCP overhead will be incurred. Sending packets about 1K at a time will speed yhings up nicely.
There is no such thing as 'the TCP packet size'.
Dec 6 '15 at 8:56
Can you try doing this over loopback, it should then transfer the data in second.
If it takes minutes, there is something wrong with your application. If is only slow sending data over the internet it could be you network link which is slow.
My guess is that you have a 10 Mb/s network between your client and your server and this is why your transfer is going slowly. If this is the case, try using a DeflatoutOutputStream and an InflatorInputStream for your connection.
share|improve this answer answered Jul 23 '09 at 6:32
How are you implementing the receiving end? Please post your receiving code as well.
Since TCP is a reliable protocol, it will take steps to make sure the client is able to receive all of the data sent by the sender. This means that if your client cannot get the data out of the data receive buffer in time, then the sending side will simply stop sending more data until the client has a chance to read all the bytes in the receiving buffer.
If your receiving side is reading data one byte at a time, then your sender probably will spend a lot of time waiting for the receiving buffer to clear, hence the long transfer times. I'll suggest changing your receiving code to reading as many bytes as possible in each read operation . See if that will solve your problem.
@Erik: using DataXxxputStream is not the problem here. Problem is you were sending data in too small chunks. Using a buffer solved your problem because even you would write bit by bit the buffer would solve the problem. Bombe's solution is much nicer, generic and faster.

even wrapping the socket's output stream in a BufferedOutputStream did not help, though. Let's look at this: int --> DataOutputStream --> Socket's output stream. An int (4 bytes) goes in, gets turned into individual bytes (probably as an array) and gets pushed to the socket. This is EXTREMELY slow. 23 min for 0.6Gb. Now we do: int --> 4-byte array --> socket's output stream 0.6Gb in ~3 seconds. What could DataOutputStream be doing that's so different from what I'm doing there? What could it do that's more complicated than turning an int into an array and feeding it to the stream?
whoops, looks like StackOverflow eats newlines. that's not formatted how I'd like, but I hope you get the gist.
Since I cannot yet comment on this site, I must write answer to @Erik here.
The problem is that DataOutputStream doesn't buffer. The whole Stream-thing in Java is based on decorators design pattern. So you could write DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream()));
It will wrap the original stream in a BufferedOutputStream which is more efficient, which is then wrapped into a DataOutputStream which offers additional nice features like writeInt(), writeLong() and so on.

You should download a good packet sniffer. I'm a huge fan of WireShark personally and I end up using it every time I do some socket programming. Just keep in mind you've got to have the client and server running on different systems in order to pick up any packets.
share|improve this answer answered Jul 23 '09 at 5:28
How is your heap size set? I had a similar problem recently with the socket transfer of large amounts of data and just by looking at JConsole I realized that the application was spending most of its time doing full GCs.
Try -Xmx1g
share|improve this answer answered Jul 23 '09 at 6:46
May I say that it really annoys me when people downvote a reasonable answer without leaving some reason in the comments section. Given that I had this exact problem, this is a perfectly reasonable suggestion!
Is the CPU at 100% while the data is being sent? If so, use visualvm and do a CPU profiling to see where the time is spent
Use a SocketChannel from java.nio - these are generally faster since they can use native IO more easily - of course this only helps if your operation is CPU bound
If it's not CPU bound, there's something going wrong at the network level. Use a packet sniffer to analyze this.

Also saw the trailer for King Kong on the 'big screen' before War of the Worlds. I enjoyed the trailer on the computer screen but seeing it 'up large' makes me even more keen on catching it when it comes out in December. Which is strange as I wasn't originally enthusing about it when jackson announced it as his follow-up to LotR. Also seen the trailer for 'The Island' a couple of times now and reckon that'll see me making my way to my local multiplex when it screens over here.

Dawgs fans pleased by a win, but disturbed by continuing problems
Bulldogs defensive back Richard LeCounte (2) recovers a second half fumble by Kentucky Wildcats quarterback Lynn Bowden Jr.
A win is a win, football fans like to say after an ugly victory, but sometimes that maxim misses the point.
That's why a lot of Bulldog Nation definitely was experiencing mixed emotions after the Dawgs' sloppy, slow-starting 21-0 homecoming victory over Kentucky.
Yes, fans were happy (well, more relieved) that the Dawgs finally got their offense on track and scored three touchdowns in the second half on a windy, rainy night in Georgia that made throwing the ball an adventure.
And, Georgia fans were proud that the Dawgs' defense, leading the league in stopping opponents from scoring, notched its second shutout of the 2019 season. The Wildcats didn't complete a pass until 4:34 was left in the game and, despite their receiver-turned-quarterback racking up 99 net yards running (and being tough to bring down), the Cats couldn't score even when a facemask penalty against the Dawgs gave them first-and-goal at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Kirby Smart elected to play it safe offensively under windy and rainy conditions. (Chamberlain Smith/UGA)
But, it'll take a lot more than a win over the SEC East cellar-dwellers to erase the bad taste left behind by that embarrassing 0-0 halftime score (the first scoreless half in a Georgia game since 1991), along with the continued problems in the short-yardage running game, the utter predictability of the offensive play-calling, and the trouble receivers are having getting open in the passing game — concerns that have plagued the Bulldogs offense all season. Georgia was only 3 of 12 on third-down conversions against Kentucky.
Frankly, the Georgia offense looked completely impotent until it finally was gifted a couple of short fields in the second half. Incredibly, when a shanked punt gave Georgia the ball at the Kentucky 39 in the third quarter, it was the Dawgs' first foray of the game into Wildcats territory!
Even Kevin Butler of the UGA's generally boosterish broadcast team characterized Georgia's first-half offense as "lackluster," and Dawgs fans were not a happy group at halftime, as any quick perusal of social media revealed.
It got so bad that two different fans I heard from during the game uttered the dreaded name "Schottenheimer" in assessing how dreadfully predictable and ineffective James Coley's first-half play-calling had become.
Head coach Kirby Smart preferred to characterize Georgia's slow start offensively (which has become the Dawgs' hallmark this season) as being "patient," and waiting for its big offensive line to wear down the other team's defense.
That is indeed what appeared to happen against Kentucky. Whereas the Dawgs' offense had looked uncomfortable and lacking confidence prior to getting two big breaks that set it up with great field position (the short punt and a fumble recovery by Richard LeCounte at the Kentucky 31 after a hard hit by J.R. Reed), after those two scoring drives the offense seemed to regain a little swagger. The OL began getting a push, as the Cats' defenders obviously were tiring, and Georgia was able to mount a long fourth-down drive that included QB Jake Fromm completing his only pass of the second half (shades of Buck Belue!) on a fourth-and-4 conversion.
Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm had to run the ball more often than he usually does. (Curtis Compton/AJC)
Otherwise, the passing game wasn't a factor. Fromm was limited to just 35 passing yards, going 9-of-12. However, he did a good job of ball security, including covering a fumble caused by a high snap.
Smart apparently didn't want to chance a turnover by throwing on a night when Fromm said he wasn't comfortable with the wet ball and wasn't sure it was going to go where he intended. "Those are tough conditions," Smart told the Bulldogs radio network's Chuck Dowdle after the game. "That's how you win in those conditions."
He added in his post-game press conference that, when it comes to throwing the ball in the rain, "Ask people who've done it. If you've done it, you know how tough it is. If you haven't done it, you probably shouldn't judge."
The weather was indeed a valid concern. Still, that doesn't change the fact that even when Fromm was trying to throw, he often couldn't find an open receiver (and ended up running it himself 5 times). And that wasn't just because of the rain and wind. He had the same problem a week earlier against South Carolina, when the weather was fine. His receivers continue to have problems getting separation from the defenders.
Georgia also still has problems punching it through in short-yardage situations, which seems attributable in part to opponents stacking the box with at least 8 men and the OL underperforming, but mainly to Coley's extremely predictable calls for runs up the middle, which drew boos several times from the Georgia crowd in the first half. A fourth-and-1 QB sneak was completely stuffed by the Cats.
If the power running game was working up the middle, Coley-Smart's conservative offensive philosophy might make sense (especially on a night like this), but it clearly hasn't worked for most of the season. The word is out on Georgia: Stuff the middle and stymie the rushing attack, and don't worry about the passing attack; man-to-man coverage should do fine against the Dawgs' young and relatively inexperienced receivers.
It was a rainy, windy, messy night at Sanford Stadium. (Bob Andres/AJC)
It wasn't until D'Andre Swift and Brian Herrien started bouncing some runs outside the tackles that Georgia's rushing offense regained its footing. Swift basically put the team on his back in the second half and carried it to victory, finishing with 179 yards and 2 TDs on 21 carries (8.5 yards per carry). For the game, the Dawgs amassed 235 yards on the ground in 43 carries (averaging 5.5 yards per run).
So, since the perimeter seems to be where the Dawgs are more successful running the ball, why keep trying to pound the middle? Patience is one thing, but exercises in futility have been the case more often than not lately.
So, where do the Dawgs stand after this?
Defensively, Georgia generally has lived up to its billing, though it's only really been tested so far this season by Notre Dame. Against Kentucky, the Dawgs defenders came up big, time after time.
On special teams, it was a mixed showing. Jake Carmarda had a good game punting, averaging 52.8 yards on 6 kicks, but Georgia got burned with a 58-yard return on a short kickoff, with kicker Rodrigo Blankenship having to make the tackle, and James Cook mishandled the opening kickoff return. Also, Georgia's only attempt to return a punt was negated by a penalty for a block in the back.
It was D'Andre Swift's running that finally got the Bulldogs' offense on track. (Bob Andres/AJC)
Offensively, Smart is correct in saying that you shouldn't judge the Dawgs on the basis of Saturday's game, considering the conditions and his decision ahead of time to play it safe. This wasn't a night to get creative offensively, as fans (and Swift) had been calling for after the South Carolina loss.
But, while the weather did provide adverse conditions, that doesn't explain all of Georgia's first-half shortcomings.
And, based on what we've seen so far this entire season, particularly in the loss to South Carolina, many Georgia fans and football observers are not confident that, when the time comes that they need to, the Dawgs will be able to open it up offensively.
Looking ahead, Georgia needs to find a way to reignite its offense. The front sevens of Florida and Auburn are vastly superior to those of South Carolina and Kentucky, and the grind-it-out and wear-them-down plan doesn't look like a good way for the Dawgs to beat either of those teams.
The short-yardage problem looms really large. The Dawgs have to be able to get that hard yard when they absolutely need it. That's a problem that definitely must be fixed if this team wants to accomplish its long-range goals.
Who knows, maybe in two weeks, when they meet Florida in Jacksonville, Georgia's offense will surprise everyone by finally opening things up. Maybe the receivers finally will start getting open. Maybe Coley will figure out that putting the ball where everyone in the stadium knows it's going to go isn't a great formula for success. Maybe a defense that has excelled against lesser competition will prove that the Notre Dame game wasn't a fluke.

Per the protection FAQ, the first answer should have counted as 2 toward the check as a deleted answer from a new user with helpful spam flags, then the second should have counted as 0 since it was posted by the same user.
I believe that the cause of the issue is that while the "deleted answers from new users" check does properly exclude answers from the same author, the "deleted answers with helpful spam flags" check does not, and so that answer counted as 1 instead, bringing the sum total up to the necessary 3 for automatic protection. This explanation may not be correct, however, since this question wasn't automatically protected despite having three deleted answers from two different new users, of which at least one has helpful spam flags. (Or it could be a recently introduced bug.)
I believe Shog researched this a while ago. It's caused by the way we count the posts. When the post is beind destroyed as spam or abusive, it gets double counted by the query. So one previously deleted answer plus the current answer being red-flagged will trigger the protection. It was too complicated to fix so it was simply ignored, at least that's my vague recollection of it. But it had nothing to do with user deletion. The user there wasn't even deleted until after both posts were deleted. – animuson♦ Mar 8 '20 at 3:33

Winstrol mexico
Many ladies in Chimalhuacan Mexico buy Winstrol to load their anabolic steroid necessities, as it is among the few such anabolic bodily hormones they could utilize securely. Chimalhuacan is one of the largest towns in southern Oaxaca where there is a strong concentration of gynecological specialists and a wide range of sexual minorities. As a result, local physicians, nurses, surgeons, pharmacologists and pharmacist (drugstore) employees can get away with using Winstrol to increase the efficacy of various prescriptions, including birth control, hormone replacements, Viagra prescriptions, diabetes medications and even pain pills. The women do not use it to obtain an undetectable amount of testosterone in their bodies, they use it for a variety of reasons including to be able to "feel" better while having intercourse and for a high degree of sexual satisfaction, winstrol mexico. It is believed that the women in Chimalhuacan who get Winstrol illegally in this manner do so for a range of reasons including "to get the thrill and satisfaction of intercourse without the risks, the embarrassment and the psychological and physical fatigue which are experienced with a normal dose of testosterone". To that end, prostitutes in Chimalhuacan regularly employ illegal Winstrol users to perform sexual encounters with clients, ostarine mk-2866 and cardarine. In 2007, at a hospital in Chimalhuacan, Eliezer Gomez, a physician and an in-patient in Goyo Hospital (an outpatient clinic), noticed that, among the hospital's clients, over 60% were suffering with severe side-effects of Winstrol and therefore were on the verge of failing their examinations, cheap supplement stacks. The patients, who were having difficulties completing their clinical investigations due to their side-effects of Winstrol, were being offered the option of using the drugs illegally before they could undergo their clinical process. (According to Dr, winstrol mexico. Gomez, the patients were told they could purchase Winstrol illegally from their relatives via the Internet), winstrol mexico. Despite the fact that such practice had been prohibited in 2007 but was once widely practiced in Mexico, according to Dr. Gomez this issue was not yet resolved as the women continued to choose illegal Winstrol users to complete the necessary tests. In response to this, Dr. Gomez advised Mexican health authorities and the US Embassy to do more in order to curb the use of drug-related violence by illegal Winstrol users. This information is based on an interview with a representative from the Mexican National Institute for Biological Defense (INBIB) conducted in 2010, mk 2866 for females. This information has not yet been verified by the Department of State and is not considered officially classified information.
Clenbuterol (Cutting) The steroid Clenbuterol is used for the treatment of breathing disorders such as asthma. When used in the first trimester and up to the first month postpartum if an estrogen prescription is not sought. As the estrogen is absorbed by the lungs, the levels of this steroid decrease. Clenbuterol can cause a number of birth defects including: Anencephaly (Baby born with an underdeveloped head and face) Brain Damage Neoplastic Disease Chronic Respiratory Complications Hearing Loss Diabetes Tuberculosis (Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that causes severe lung disease that can be fatal) Striking (Mucous membranes) In addition, there is an increased risk of pulmonary embolism (blood clots) with Clenbuterol use and a decreased effect of iron that can cause birth defects and blood clots that can lead to stroke. It is recommended to be monitored especially for birth defects, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular disease. In addition, Clenbuterol use may harm the kidneys and liver, and cause an increased risk for respiratory problems and respiratory ailments or a heart condition. Roxicodone (Pill) Another oral form of Diclofenac. This drug is used for severe muscle spasms and spasms due to severe conditions such as myoclonic epilepticus, myositis, and postural hypotension, muscle spasms due to epilepsy, and muscle spasms due to a heart disease, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It is recommended to be monitored especially for muscle spasms and spasms due to neurological conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Patients should be monitored for the first month after stopping Diclofenac to be sure that this drug has not compromised the patient's liver, kidneys, or respiratory system. Anabolic Steroid Use and Bone Health It is important to monitor heart rate and blood pressure with anabolic steroids to ensure that your heart is pumping the right amount of oxygen, blood pressure, and oxygen to your body. Most anabolic steroids don't slow down the heart as fast as the body's own natural mechanisms, but the drug can still affect the oxygen-carrying capacity and heart rate. This can lead to oxygen deprivation in your body and heart attack. For this reason the heart health of athletes should be checked regularly with anabolic steroid use or with prescription of another steroid that is better for your body. Anabolic steroids also can affect the muscles and bones in the arm, Similar articles:

The best fruits to eat to stay healthy is to eat fruit for lunch and maintain a healthy diet for your other meals providing a sound foundation for a healthy lifestyle. Fruits are an excellent lunch food for everyone because they make healthy snacks and desserts.
Eating fruit on a lunch time can decrease appetite for the actual meal. The fructose found in the fruit supplies a quick energy boost and the fiber creates a feeling of fullness. For kids at normal weights, wait to serve fruit at the beginning of a nutrition dense lunch to pack in as much fuel and healthy calories as you want them to consume. An apple or a handful of grapes in a lunchbox is a sweet choice before a sandwich on whole wheat or a veggie wrap spread with creamy dressing. A bowl of fresh peach slices can be eaten just before some reheated spinach lasagna at the kitchen table.
Those who are overweight need a carefully monitored diet to lose excess weight. Harping on calories can make you self-conscious and resentful, but timing snacks will encourage eating less. Prepare a healthy lunch, but consume half-dozen whole strawberries shortly before it is time to eat. The sweet berries deliver a good dose of vitamin C and their fiber helps dieting people feel less hungry. You will happily consume a lighter lunch without feeling deprived and the fruit provides extra nutrition to keep your feeling full longer. For a pre-lunch snack, whole fresh fruit is more filling and lower in calories than dried fruit or juice.
Read Also Generic Drugs: Everything You Need to Know About It
If lunch is late, keep the peace with a quartered orange or a dish of fresh pineapple chunks. Both have lots of potassium and fiber. Oranges are high in vitamin C and folate and also among the best fruits to eat. Dried fruit is another good holdover that is low prep and portable. Mix raisins with nuts for a nutrition dense trail mix, or hand out some sugarless dried mango slices that take a while to chew, so will have a time to prepare dinner.
Fruit as fat prevention
When you know that a lunch is not going to be the healthy meal you prefer to serve yourself a mini meal of fresh best fruits to eat. Mix blueberries, kiwi slices, raspberries and mango or guava chunks into a quick fruit salad that keeps everybody's blood sugar on an even keel until the fat food or high calorie sauces are served. Your kids won't be hungry enough to overeat and you will eat less unhealthy food, too. The beauty of it is no one needs to know you'd rather skip the saturated fat they slaved over. Save face and save the diet with the stealth tactic of some well-timed fruit.
Read Also 5 Healthy Breakfast Ideas to Help You Power Through Your Day
Packaged fruit juices, smoothies and fruit snacks often have additives like honey or fruit juice concentrate; both of them gain calories without adding nutritional value. By selecting fresh best fruits to eat, you will add needed calories and nutritional value.
If you start your lunch with unsweetened grapefruit or grapefruit juice, you will easily regulate your digestion.
Consume any high fiber fruits for lunch. Eat pears, apples and berries for a significant amount of dietary fiber and water content.
Prepare fruit with other nutrient dense and low calorie foods. During lunch and throughout the day include all kinds of fruits unsweetened and mostly fresh. Nuts and seeds are healthful garnishes best fruits to eat; consume them in moderation.

my first post/I ran my 603 without coolant for 20 minutes. - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum
my first post/I ran my 603 without coolant for 20 minutes.
dummkopf blockhead
As my name suggests, I am an idiot.
Hello. I have a 1987 mercedes 300d. 603. It WAS perfect. About 3 weeks ago, on a rain slicked road, I did a very minor, accidental "burnout", over revved, and the fan porcupined the engine compartment. looked like a bomb went off. Hoses sliced. hood dented. radiator shot. KABOOM! At the time it happened, I didn't realize. It was raining a lot. The interior is so quiet. I thought I had run over a stick or rock etc. To make a long story short... I ran it, without coolant for about 20 minutes. Temp needle pegged, aux fan on. I ran the heater, no heat. I knew I was F-ed. The motor starts and runs excellent. no smoke. No obvious signs of any damage.
On to my question. What kind of tests can I run, to make sure I am not polishing a turd? Would I be fixing and spending money on a car that is effectively worthless? I am an excellent mechanic, just a bad driver. thank you in advance for any help you may provide.
No real way to tell if any damage was done until you change the rad and hoses. You want to look for bubbles in the coolant while the engine is running.
Was the engine snapping / hissing ? Was there steam for many minutes after the engine was turned off? Did the heat overwhelm you when you opened the hood? Did you lose the lower rad hose?
What was the air temp that day?
Watch the visual quality and usage of coolant over the next few weeks to tel if it is damaged. If it begins to look like chocolate then you have issues. You can drive it like that as long as you keep coolant in it but keep in mind that the oily water is deteriorating the insides of the rubber hoses at the same time. Watch the temp gauge too.
It was cool and rainy, night time. after 8pm. probably upper 50's Lower hose intact, upper hose sliced. no steam. I have noticed an oil leak though. I got my radiator today from peach parts, going to use the mercedes coolant, and the oe fan from peach parts also. The plastic one. I will throw it together and let you guys know.
So, to recap... look for bubbles, and oil and water mixing in the coolant overflow tank.
And a hard to the touch upper rad hose after a run cycle is a head cracked indicator.
Originally Posted by dummkopf blockhead

what he means is if you have a cold motor, and a soft upper radiator hose, then start the car, drive to the store, shut car off, hose should still be soft, unless the coolant came completely up to temp on the drive.
but actually, the better test is drive all day, feel the hose is hard... then in the morning it should be SOFT! not pressurized.
if sitting idling a cold motor the hose gets hard, it's a sure sign of a head/gasket crack.
Actually, I would say that you are not an idiot for the simple reason that you were watching the temp gauge and pulled over when things got uncomfortable. Most people don't do that. Cheers. You are smarter than the average American as far as this goes.
That is what I thought, wanted to make it clear for the OP.
I had a 2001 Mercury Sable with DOHC. I was driving down the highway one day and it sounded like I hit some rubber on the road. Drove 5 more minutes the low oil pressure light came on and the car was getting too hot. Pulled over right away and had it towed. The water pump runs on a different belt than everything else and it broke. No damage though because I caught it on time. (At least none noticeable for the 8 months and good amount of mileage after that when I sold it)
I always thought, if it had been one of my siblings, that car would be DEAD! But now I know to check the belts before I pay for a tow
I do everything for my diesels <3
...I had a 2001 Mercury Sable with DOHC...
It was a good car. I drove it from 2010-2013 and put over 60,000 miles on it. BUT, I love my Mercedes!

I have a newfie, he is 4 1/2 urs old, today he's acting
Hi, I have a newfie, he is 4 1/2 urs old, today he's acting strangely, he's agitated constantly panting, keeps barking and has started to limp on his front leg, he is eating and drinking fine no sickness or diarrhea
Customer: There's no visible wound on the leg or foot, it does not hurt him if I touch it and he isn't fussing his leg by licking or anything
Customer: Donnie
Assistant: Is there anything else important you think the Veterinarian should know about Donnie?
Customer: No he is regularly groomed, is not overweight and has never had any health or behavioural issues before, he has always been vaccinated and treated for worms and fleas
Any underlying health concerns ? Any medications we are on ? What part of the country are you in ?
Are we vaccinated for Lyme disease?
We are in Cornwall, donnie doesn't take any regular medication and is vaccinated every year
Can we put any weight on this leg? Or do we not want to touch it to the ground at all?
How long ago did the panting and agitation start in?
It's OK I'm going to take him to our vet to be checked over, thankyou for your help but I think he really need to be seen properly
I agree. You can also ask the veterinarian about tickbirnr disease also. Many of these can cause the same clinical Signs. They can run a test on the blood for those also. I have spent most of my career in a heavily infested tick
Region with high numbers of Lyme, Anaplasma, and Ehrlichia cases.
I wish you good success today at the veterinary clinic. If you have any more questions. I will be happy to help. Have a great day. Dr Mike

Deadly Poisonous Flaming Arrows – MRS. T'S CORNER
Deadly Poisonous Flaming Arrows
November 16, 2019 November 22, 2019 ~ Tangie T. Woods
Have you ever been guilty of throwing deadly poisonous flaming arrows with negative words at other women? As I reflect on James 3:11, "Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring," I sadly remember in past times when I inflicted hurt to others with my words, or the way a message was conveyed. However, I am thankful to God that I lived to receive forgiveness from those individuals, and received forgiveness from Him.
Have you ever been guilty of disliking someone you never took the time to know, but based your opinion on "someone else's" feelings about the person? Let us be honest in response to what words can "someone else" whisper in our ears to cause us to dislike someone we do not know? One word—Satan! We must be mindful that "someone else" will not stand for us before God on Judgment Day. If this was possible, then "someone else" would hear "Depart from me ye who do works of iniquity." Why? Because the heart of "someone else" would be in an unrepented state. We, not "someone else" are instructed to save ourselves from this untoward generation.
Please be encouraged not to take detours from your spiritual path because of "someone else." Let "someone else" walk the path of wickedness to the road of destruction alone. We must be alert and of sober mind because our enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for [weak] "someones" to devour ~ I Peter 5:8.
Perhaps most of us have been afflicted by unwarranted flaming arrows. But as we increase in biblical knowledge and our connection to the Lord remain strong, we should be able to stay focus on letting the Holy Spirit transform us from just being women to being ladies with refine and godly attributes ~ Ephesians 4:29, Colossians 4:6, Matthew 15:11, Proverbs 15:1-2, and I Peter 5:9.
Based on my research, when someone is bitten by a poisonous snake the venom enters the bloodstream and starts to eat and destroy body cells, then eventually affects the heart while experiencing excruciating pain. While victims suffer tremendously, the slimy snake lets loose and slithers back into its hole while the victims deal with inflicted damage. Words too can be cruel leaving our victims discouraged, angry, hostile, sad, disappointed, depressed, or cause "someone else" to leave the church. The same affect comes from the list below of deadly poisonous tongues:
The Loquacious Tongue: "In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but [she] that refraineth [her] lips are wise. The tongue of the just is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth. The righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom." ~ Proverbs 10:19-21
The Lying Tongue: "Lying lips are abomination to the LORD but they that deal truly are His delight." ~ Proverbs 12:22. "Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies." ~ Psalm 34:13
The Manipulating Tongue: "That no [woman] go beyond and defraud [her sister] in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hast not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness." ~ I Thessalonians 4:6-7
The Divisive Tongue: For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech." ~ I Peter 3:10 and "Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them." ~ Titus 3:10
The Argumentative Tongue: The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." ~ Proverbs 18:21 and "It is to one's honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel ~ Proverbs 20:3
The Slandering Tongue: "Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate." ~ Proverbs 101:5
The Meddling Tongue: "We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies. Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down…" II Thessalonians 3:11-12
The Belittling Tongue: "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." ~ Ephesians 4:29 and "Let all bitterness and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice." ~ Ephesians 4:31
The Know-It-All-Tongue: "But no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be." — James 3:8-12
Conclusion, "There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs." ~ Luke 12:2-3
If a gossiper calls to tell you what someone said, stop them by saying "Do not tell me what someone said, tell me why they felt comfortable telling you."
"Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! ~ James 3:5
"Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense, but the one who as understanding holds their tongue. A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret." Proverbs 11:12-13

Great reminder of the power of the tongue and the harm it can inflict.
I was just reading the book of James the other night, and came across James 3:10. And have learned that it is not good to curse and praise out the same mouth. As I grow spiritually in the Lord, I am learning to watch what I say out of my mouth. Thank you for this article, great information.

Clearing Disturbing Thoughts and Powerlessness
Disturbing Thoughts and Powerlessness - Accused of Being a Witch
Using past life hypnotic regression I often work with experiences that appear to be a past life. The idea of reincarnation is not a belief tied to India or any particular religion or culture. It has been an enduring spiritual belief for billions of people for thousands of years all over the world. It was a global idea that sprang up independently amongst people from every continent from the Celts and Teutons of Northern Europe to the indigenous peoples of Africa, Australia and the Americas. Hundreds of millions of Hindus, Buddhists and the Sufis sect of Islam make reincarnation the cornerstone of their faith. Some Christian sects and writers accept reincarnation, however written reference of reincarnation was removed from the Christian religion in AD 325 by the Roman emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicaea in the interests of uniting the empire from feuding Christian factions.
A past life can still affect the current life. To illustrate this I'll refer to a case study with a client I will call Claire. She was a 35 year old single woman who had reoccurring thoughts and dreams of stealing, which made her anxious because she was an accountant responsible for managing her company accounts. Worst of all she had reoccurring thoughts of, "They are taking my children" and would get so angry that tears would roll down her cheeks. This had been going on for about 15 years, and she had tried everything to stop it. The strange thing is that she was not married and had never had children.
Claire quickly regressed into the first of her past life memories and found herself a woman living with her two children in the woods and healing people with herbs. She had been living in harmony with the local villagers for a number of years. One day however, a group of stern looking religious men came to her house. Some held her children and others dragged her away and accused her of being a witch. She was taken to a river by the village and tied to the end of a wooden plank face down. As the plank was positioned over the water of the river she was unable to look at it, and the fear of the water was vividly remembered as she told the past life story. As she drowned still tied to the plank all her energy was focused on her dying thoughts, "My children have been taken away, who's going to look after them."
In the second of her past life memories she found herself a poor man in England in the Middle Ages not able to find the money to buy food for his family. The poor man broke into a big country house, stole a painting and rode off on a horse. The noise he had made alerted members of the household who chased him on foot. One of them fired a pistol and shot him in the shoulder. He fell off the horse and was caught by the crowd and hung. The mans dying thought was about the mistake of stealing. Claire was amazed at experiencing the pain in her shoulder at the point of being shot, and the difficulty breathing as she experienced the mans hanging.
With both these past life memories there was unfinished business at the point of death. Thoughts, emotions and physical pain associated with a trauma appear to be imprinted on the soul. When the person is reincarnated again these memories are acted out again in the new body and new situation. It is as if the pattern needs to be recreated until the person's soul has resolved the problem.
With Claire she was able to resolve the unfinished business by clearing the blocked energy from the past life memories in therapy. She reported afterwards that the reoccurring thoughts of stealing and having her children taken away had stopped. She also noticed other things in her life had changed. She used to have a phobia about water. Her mother had been shocked at her loud screaming when she had simply tried to wash her hair in a basin when Claire was a small girl. After resolving the past life conflict of the healer woman Claire was no longer scared about water. It also cleared another unexplainable problem she had in her life with men in authority. After therapy an aggressive businessman accused her of bumping her car into another car. She said, "My legs would normally have turned to jelly but I was able to hold my ground and tell him he was just as much at fault."
Physical pain appears to be carried from a past life to the current one. This can be illustrate with a client I will call Joan who was a single mother with four children on income support. She had been in a series of abusive relationships for most of her life and had suffered from unexplainable pains in her joints and in different parts of her body.
Joan regressed into one of her past lives and was surprised to find herself a girl abandoned in Victorian times and brought up by nuns. She left the nuns at an early age and found work in a laundry. Her miserable job was washing other peoples clothes by stirring the clothes in a large caldron of hot water for long hours each day. She caught the eye of a wealthy older gent who eventually married her. Although he was well respected in the community as a successful businessman, he didnot want a sexual relationship and took his frustrations of life out on her. As a poor woman with no family she found no one would listen to her. She was regularly beaten and left on the floor covered in blood.
Unable to leave the relationship she felt powerless and just took the beatings. The final beating was more severe than normal. She was thrown down the long stairs of the house and half unconscious dragged into a dark cellar. As she died she was able to recall the relief of leaving the physical body. Her feelings of powerlessness and her physical symptoms appeared to be carried with her.
As she experienced powerlessness in relationships in this life the physical symptoms where triggered from the past life. When the blocked energy from the past life was released she was able to stand up to the man in her current relationship and tell him, "Be good to me or leave". This was something she had never before been able to do before and her unexplainable physical pains never bothered her again.
Every thought or action we take has a consequence. If we hate others then hate will eventually come into our lives too. If we give out love we fill our lives with love. The bible calls it, "we reap what we sow." It is not about right and wrong but about spiritual learning through mastering emotional problems and situations. If we are at harmony with our fellow humans and our environment at our death then we will have mastered the spiritual purpose for that life. If not the unfinished business and the issues associated with it will be carried to the next life.
As shown in the case studies of Claire and Joan, when unfinished business from a past life memory has been understood and resolved it can bring about a profound healing of chronic unexplainable emotional and physical symptoms in the current life.

Of course, not everyone triple-boots their system, so I've divided this guide into easily scannable sections, so you can skip right to the sections that apply to your machine (i.e., if you don't have OS X, you won't need to know how to read HFS volumes, nor will you need any drivers for OS X).
One of the biggest roadblocks to making your data available through each OS are all the different filesystems each one uses. OS X uses HFS+ and can't write to NTFS drives; Windows uses NTFS and ignores pretty much everything else, and Linux has support for nearly everything (albeit with some serious hassle caused by stingy UNIX permissions). Thus, before you do anything else, you'll need to install the correct drivers in each OS for reading and writing to other filesystems. Here are the best choices we've found in each situation.
Note: while it's very likely that your OS X partition is HFS+ and your Windows partition is NTFS, your Linux partition could be any number of filesystems. Unfortunately, Ext4 (which is becoming the new standard) still isn't supported in most third-party Ext drivers. For the most part, the drivers in this guide will work with Ext3 and Ext2 formatted Linux drives only. If your drive is Ext4, you may have to clone your Linux partition, using an Ext3-formatted drive as the destination.
Reading and writing to Linux drives is easy in Windows, but there aren't any free, read/write drivers for Windows, so you'll have to compromise somewhere. Here are your options.
To install the Boot Camp drivers, just insert the Snow Leopard install disc into your Mac and install the drivers when prompted. If you're on a Hackintosh, you won't get this option, since the disc won't recognize your computer as a Mac. To install the HFS drivers on a Hackintosh, you can use this installer instead.
Unfortunately, these drives are read-only. If you absolutely have to write to your HFS partition, the only way to do so is to spring for either Paragon's $40 HFS+ for Windows 8 or Mediafour's $50 MacDrive 8. It isn't cheap, but sadly it's the only read/write option currently available.
Luckily, there is a relatively pain-free Ext2/Ext3 driver for Windows called Ext2Fsd. Just download it and install it like a normal Windows program. When you get to the "Select Additional Tasks" stage, check all the necessary boxes for your setup (I chose to check all three). Once you're done, however, you'll get this error message:

OP-ED | Who Is Holding Education Reformers Accountable? | CT News Junkie
Posted inBridgeport, Education, Ethics, Opinion
by Sarah Darer Littman April 5, 2013, 7:30 am January 21, 2021, 5:33 pm
That was until Tom Swan of the Connecticut Citizen Action Group (CCAG) filed a Freedom of Information request on state Education Department contracting procedures in Feb. 2012, drawing the ire of Malloy's legal counsel, Andrew McDonald. "This is one of the more reckless efforts I've seen by Tom," McDonald told Hearst newspapers at the time. "His complaint is devoid of any evidence to support his sensational conclusions regarding the governor. If not today, then sometime soon, he'd better be prepared to put some substance behind these thin assertions."
"SERC represents itself as a nonprofit organization on its website. However, the statutory language indicates that SERC was created as a state entity. SERC has not acted in a manner that is consistent with state agency requirements for transparency and accountability."
"On at least two recent occasions, SERC entered into an agreement to employ individuals who would report directly to the commissioner of the Department of Education or a designee … In each of these cases, the commissioner instructed SERC to employ specific individuals. In each case, the employment contract (personal service agreement) was between the individual who was employed by SERC and either the State Board of Education or the State Department of Education. On two other occasions, contracts were entered into with private companies to provide various consulting services … Again, the contracts were executed by the State Department of Education, SERC and the private company. The contracts state that the Department of Education selected the vendor and SERC was not responsible for directing or monitoring the vendors' activities. In each of these cases, the state's personal service agreement procedures and its contracting procedures were not followed."
It looks like Mr. McDonald, who is now a Supreme Court justice, has some explaining to do.
And so does the state Department of Education, which proposed changing the makeup of SERC earlier this year with SB 1096. The original language of the bill tried to codify SERC's ability to engage in sole-source bidding, but the legislation which passed out of the Education Committee last week appears to require SERC to engage in competitive bidding, which is a step in the right direction toward resolving the state auditor's concerns.
Yet, has Pryor been held accountable? Not a chance. The contractors, who claim they haven't been paid, are now suing the state. In all three lawsuits, the plaintiffs allege they "relied on the repeated assurances from Department of Education, including the Commissioner Stefan Pryor, CFO Brian Mahoney, and Project Manager Emily Byrne, and continued to provide services through June 2012 on the basis of these assurances." And who is going to bear the cost of defending the suit? Hint: You and me, fellow taxpayers.
Let's travel now to Bridgeport, where, as former Mayor P.T. Barnum once observed, "There's a sucker born every minute."
Back in 2011, Paul G. Vallas, or as Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch likes to call him, the "national celebrity," was named interim superintendent of Bridgeport's schools by a Board of Education that was, according to the State Supreme Court, appointed illegally by the state. Like Pryor, Vallas had favored consultants and was apparently of the opinion that rules regarding competitive bidding don't apply to reformers.
In April 2012, contrary to the Bridgeport code on municipal procurement, Vallas signed a no-bid contract with Public Consulting Group for a new special education software system called Easy IEP, to replace Clarity, the program in use at the time. Vallas justified the sole sourcing on the basis that 1) Easy IEP was the most comprehensive system that had unique features; 2) PCG could "deploy its local teams and products in an immediate fashion," and; 3) Bridgeport was to "receive the services of the largest and most successful Medicaid reimbursement vendor in the country in a timely and efficient manner."
Are you laughing yet? If eight months to complete implementation is Mr. Vallas' idea of a "timely and efficient manner," we do business in very different ways.
But wait, there's more! I'm a simple journalist (albeit with a tech analyst background), yet I was able to find IEP Direct and Medicaid Direct, products from Centris Group that appear to perform the same functions as Easy IEP and which are used by more than 70 percent of school districts in Connecticut. Excent.com is another company offering similar products. Even Spectrum K12, provider of the current IEP software, Clarity, has an alliance with Accelify to provide Medicaid claims tracking and processing.
Are Bridgeport's problems so profoundly unusual that it wasn't even worth putting out a RFP? It appears Vallas' justification for sole-source procurement is, to put it kindly, a bit of stretch.
Perhaps, Mayor Bill Finch and the city's state-appointed Board of Education were too star struck to hold their "celebrity" Superintendent accountable? Or is this another example of Corrupticut's business as usual? Perhaps now that both Mr. Pryor and Mr. Vallas are the subjects of lawsuits, they'll realize that rules apply to reformers, too.

When Will The Shiba Inu (SHIB) Be Available On Robinhood? This is the most recent information that has been disclosed. - The Comprehensive Minds
Ethan November 16, 2021 November 16, 2021 6 min readWrite a Comment on When Will The Shiba Inu (SHIB) Be Available On Robinhood? This is the most recent information that has been disclosed.
pic credit: GameRevolution
Shiba Inu has plummeted more than half of its all-time high price following a severe price adjustment. Shiba Inu, however, has now received two listing confirmations on two major cryptocurrency exchanges, after this consolidation.
Shiba Inu Today's price has risen as a result of these listings. We all know a significant Shiba Inu price increase is on the way… Yes, we're discussing the Robinhood listing. Every Shiba Inu owner is eagerly anticipating the announcement of the Shiba Inu's listing on Robinhood.
With this listing, how much price pump may be expected? And, most importantly, what did Robinhood's CEO have to say about the Shiba Inu Coin's listing? These concerns will be addressed today. We'll also look at whether now is a good time to buy Shiba Inu currency.
So what are the major listing that happened recently?
But why are so many people waiting for Shiba Inus to appear on Robinhood? Why is this so crucial for Shiba Inu?
In 2021, what might a shib holder expect? Will the price increase or decrease?
The Shiba Inu cryptocurrency has been introduced to Gemini, a renowned cryptocurrency exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in 2015. Aside from the world's second-largest meme coin, the New York-based trading platform includes a bevvy of tokens from the decentralized finance ecosystem on its platform.
In May, the Winklevii-owned exchange, which is recognized for its regulatory compliance, adopted Dogecoin, making it one of the most recent large exchanges to join the canine craze.
Furthermore, CoinDCX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange in India, recently announced that Shiba Inu will be listed on their retail-oriented CoinDCX app.
This puts a lot of pressure on Robinhood to list the most traded cryptocurrency of all time on their platform. Is Robinhood, on the other hand, willing to offer Shiba Inus to its platform? Earlier this week,
According to U.Today, during an interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer earlier this week, Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev awkwardly avoided a question about whether the company has such a listing in the works. He didn't agree or reject the statement that Shiba Inu would be included on Robinhood's platform.
According to experts, Robinhood is planning to list Shiba Inu, but they want to emphasize the importance of their own announcements rather than rumors.
When COO Christine has asked the same topic a few days ago, she provided a mixed response. She agreed that the company is taking its time with the listing of Shiba Inu, the 11th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and the hottest asset after Dogecoin, which catapulted Robinhood into the crypto spotlight.
Robinhood does not want to compromise on safety, according to COO Christine. They will not add Shiba Inu Coin to their platform until it has been thoroughly tested for safety and stability. "We want to make sure that we're working on reviewing everything from a regulatory viewpoint really properly," Brown said, reiterating that Robinhood is a "safety-first firm."
In addition, Robinhood hinted at considering introducing Shiba Inu to their platform by broadcasting a survey that included the term Shiba Inu as an option. According to this Robinhood study, consumers were asked if they had purchased any of the cryptos on the list in the previous three months. Cardano, XRP, meme cryptocurrencies like Doge, and, of course, Shiba Inu are all on this list.
According to crypto lovers, Robinhood is striving to make the listing bug-free and to prepare servers to manage high transaction volume. Robinhood is worried about increasing security and stability.
These are the most important reasons. The process of listing is taking longer than expected. Even yet, we could hear confirmation from Robinhood at any point during the fourth quarter. But, why is this listing so crucial for Shiba Inu owners? How big of a price increase can be predicted as a result of this listing?
Cryptocurrency prices, as we all know, are determined by supply and demand. If demand rises as a result of this significant listing, the coin's price will rise as well. Also, when dogecoin was featured on Robinhood, it accounted for 34% of the crypto revenue generated by Robinhood, assisting doge to reach an all-time high for the year.
Within 24 hours, the price of Dogecoin had risen by over 800 percent. Shiba Inu has more potential than dogecoin, and we believe that if Robinhood lists Shiba Inu now, Shiba Inu will chop a few zeroes out of the price and provide a large return.

Everyone is curious as to what made the Shiba Inu so popular. This enthusiasm is so strong that Coin Bureau, a crypto enthusiast, couldn't help but mention it. He's been enthusiastic about the Shiba Inu project for a while now, as seen by a tweet he sent out earlier this month. Shib is on the verge of breaking into the top ten. I honestly have no idea what's driving the rally and at this point, and I'm too afraid to ask…
Shiba Inu Coin's listing on one of the largest crypto exchanges, such as Robinhood, will offer the coin huge exposure and encourage more investors to buy it. Cryptocurrency prices, as we all know, are determined by supply and demand. If demand increases, the price of the coin will rise as well.
As a result, we believe the price will continue to rise in the fourth quarter. If you intend to sell, you are still in the green zone. These key price-boosting triggers, on the other hand, are expected to emerge in the coming days or weeks.
Let's keep going and look at Shiba Inu's pricing predictions for the fourth quarter of 2021. Shiba Inu has started to grow now that the consolidation phase is complete. Almost all crypto professionals and analysts are positive about Shiba Inu, and it's not only due to social media excitement.
However, due to the planned Robinhood listing as well as development projects like the NFT game, play to earn, own blockchain, and Riyoshi Token, all of this happened in the fourth quarter. According to FX street news, the price of the Shiba Inu could rise to 1000 satoshi units this month, removing another zero from its price.
If this occurs, the Shiba Inu coin will have reached a new all-time high. This will be the beginning for the holders who have millions of tokens in their wallets. Shiba Inu, according to our prediction, will simply cut a zero off its price with a Robinhood listing and will easily reach 1000 satoshi units.
Although the burn process will take some time, Shib is expected to bounce this quarter. The price of Shiba Inu will skyrocket once this burning process is completed.

Music Bands There were two music bands in the camp. One was MAK Orchestra and the other was MA Brass Band. They held 34 music performances in 2.5 years, and on June 1st in 1918 played the Ninth Sympony of Beethoven for the first time in Japan. Since then, Beethoven's 'the Ninth' has been played on the first Sunday in June annually in Naruto city, Tokushima.
German POWs in Japan Most of the German POWs from WWI were not professional soldiers, but were volunteer civilians who were living in Tsingtao, China, at the time. Therefore, some of them were professionals with skills, thus, running businesses in their own fields or teaching local people was possible. They taught locals how to play musical instruments, how to raise cattle, brew whisky and beer, bake bread, etc. After the war, most of them returned to Germany, but 170 POWs stayed in Japan, utilized the skills they honed in the camps and started their own business such as a butcher shop, restaurants, cake shop, dairy ranch, etc. One of the most famous companies founded by an ex-POW is Juchheim Co.,Ltd., in Kobe, which was established by Mr. Karl Juchheim, who spent his POW days in Osaka and Hiroshima. The other famous companies include LOHMEYER Corporation in Tochigi which specializes in meat processing. The original LOHMEYER company was founded by another ex-POW, Mr. August Lohmeyer who invented the loin ham.
Lastly, Director Matsue's considerate and generous treatment of German POWs was well appreciated by them, and it started the long-term good relationship between ex-POWs and the local people of Bando, Naruto city, which in 1972 built the Naruto German House to commemorate the historical friendship with German people.
Afterword... To tell the truth, I entertained myself with a 'What if?' theory for a while. As I mentioned, my grandfather was from Bando, Naruto. I didn't really know when he was born, but he looked a little bit foreign, with big eyes and a craggy face. Some of his sons (my uncles) also have a little bit of a western face and they are tall and sturdy for Japanese men. I just wondered whether there wasn't a 'secret love' between his mother and one of the German POWs...and enjoyed fantasizing about the possible secret love affair until I asked my mother who answered, 'He was born in 1915.'....two years before they came to Bando.....Thus, my short-lived romantic fantasy evaporated into thin air!

A national program encouraging public service by paying-away from government school financing balances try positioned to-be terminated, probably leaving a large number of energetic-obligations officials with hills of personal debt they expected to become forgiven.
Known as Public service Mortgage Forgiveness system, previous President George W. Bush folded from bundle in the 2007 so you can remind someone making costly college stages to function for the authorities. After doing work continuously for ten years in public areas services efforts, including energetic-duty military solution, and to make regular monthly government loan costs, borrowers you are going to apply to the brand new U.S. Service off Studies getting any left federal college loan stability forgiven.
users could apply to enjoys their government fund forgiven. But just brand new You.S. Agencies of Training is actually operating the first revolution out of loan forgiveness applicants, new fiscal season 2018 budget leaves the entire system with the cutting take off.
In the event that canceled, at risk ‘s the designed guarantee designed to many officials who accepted commissions pregnant just after 10 years regarding energetic duty service, the latest delinquent stability of the government university loans might possibly be erased. Yet , doing this helps you to save the federal government $12 billion along side next a decade.
Already, next to 6,800 effective responsibility armed forces workers are signed up for the application form – in the twenty two percent of the many army officers commissioned because 2007 exactly who covered its levels that have government fund, unsecured loans, individual fund, otherwise grants, predicated on statistics of both Company from Knowledge and Institution of Protection.
On Navy and you may Marine Corps, alongside dos,five-hundred people are counting on obtaining the balance of the school fund paid once a decade from effective responsibility provider, depending on the Service off Degree. They could be stuck with tens of thousands of dollars for the school loans it had not measured into the having straight back in the commissioning.
As 2007, DoD records 29,091 officials – 23 percent of 135,550 officers commissioned within the ten years – made degrees in the place of likely to a beneficial federally-funded military academy, officer applicant college, otherwise as a result of a DoD-financed ROTC program. DoD will not song how people in these scenarios paid for its college, otherwise whenever degrees was basically generated.
In the united states, about 431,853 borrowers – in addition to regulators and you can qualified non-profit business personnel – are subscribed to PSLF program, with regards to the Company off Knowledge.
Hiring and you will Retaining

Julia Cummings regarding Averill Playground, N.Y., an atomic Accessions administrator assigned to Navy Recruiting Command, speaks having children in the career potential regarding Navy into the 2017 Community of females Engineers (SWE) Fulfilling stored on Austin Summit Cardiovascular system.

On Navy’s perspective, what is actually good about the brand new PSLF system ‘s the Agencies of Training administers it and ultimately is responsible for repaying loan balance.
The applying is an important product familiar with notice and preserve skill, particularly officials which have extremely looked for-immediately following skills, said Lt. Cmdr. Rabb Muhammad, a former employer. New Navy enjoys an excellent need for latest graduates that have legislation levels, scientific amounts, and especially state-of-the-art systems values.
If you are an employer, Muhammad try such as for instance concerned about hiring people with cutting-edge technology values getting coaches during the Navy’s Atomic Strength School exterior Charleston, S.C. Often, these types of students have thousands of dollars into the scholar financial obligation.
“Because an employer, all of our emphasis is delivering people with cutting-edge degree,” told you Lt. Cmdr. Rabb Muhammad. “It’s hard so you’re able to encourage those men to quit what you they’ve already been employed by when planning on taking a reduced paying army employment.”
After some one is available to your joining the brand new Navy, Muhammad said recruiters tend to intimate the offer on the prospect of obtaining balance from government college fund repaid shortly after merely 10 years of fabricating repayments.
Assistant of your Navy Richard V. Spencer, owing to a representative, is why positive points to recruiting and retaining employees, otherwise just what canceling the application form will mean so you can perform hiring and sustaining sailors with extremely needed-immediately after knowledge.
As to the reasons Terminate the application?

With respect to the President’s Fiscal Seasons 2018 finances, create because of the Work environment out of Management and you will Finances, the application form and that have not actually forgiven any pupil personal debt but really, is considered very costly. The fresh finances says, “to generate offers that assist place the Country into a very renewable fiscal highway, the fresh new Finances eliminates Public service Loan Forgiveness system.”
The new Department from Knowledge wouldn’t touch upon in which the notice to end this option began. However, a recent Brookings Institute statement also offers some clues as to why the President’s finances proposed end the program just as they was to start paying down college fund.
Studies by the Congressional Finances Workplace states people credit for scholar or top-notch colleges are most likely the greatest beneficiaries of your PSLF system, because, “they tend in order to acquire huge number than those who borrow for undergraduate degree manage.”
The new Brookings Institute statement, citing Agencies regarding Studies analytics, says, “The fresh average personal debt stream ones subscribed to PSLF exceeds $60,000, and you will nearly 30 % away from PSLF enrollees borrowed over $a hundred,000.”
Including from how quickly contribution on the program is growing, as well as how much the new questioned profits are, just last year new CBO evaluated a pair of change thought of the National government. Earliest, mortgage forgiveness borrowing was capped so you’re able to money regarding $57, five hundred for brand new enrollees. Any extra credit to possess college could be managed to move on to help you income-motivated cost arrangements. Doing so, brand new CBO predict, carry out rescue ranging from $5 billion and you can $12 million when you look at the second several years. Extending new cost attacks ones loans might also end up in vast amounts of dollars within the deals along side 2nd decade.
Instead, the fresh new budget centers loan repayment recommendations only towards the earnings-passionate payment arrangements, that allow consumers to put month-to-month loan repayments according to a beneficial variety of issues together with income and family dimensions.
This is actually the tip created by the fresh new Brookings Institute, which says, “reforms you to limit the very too much top features of PSLF was justified, even when repealing PSLF altogether and you can letting brand new federal Income-Mainly based Repayment system (IBR) to do the objective of PSLF is actually an amount top span of step.”
The Trump recommended budget perform cap these types of financing repayments at several.5 per cent off discretionary money. Immediately following 15 years, the us government do forgive new unpaid harmony kept for the undergraduate levels. https://directlenderloans.org/installment-loans-ak/ To own scholar levels, the federal government do forgive one outstanding stability shortly after 3 decades.
A last devotion on the way forward for the new PSLF program features but really becoming produced, considering a branch out of Training representative. Alternatives are canceling the application form downright, ending the latest enrollments, otherwise shifting newest participants to a different program.

How Lisajcutler started their logo design journey
We provide wellness programs for corporations. We are two young health care professionals and our corporate personality is fresh, energetic, professional and responsible. We are passionate about helping people function at their full potential and giving companies the chance to provide a nice benefit for their staff.
Corporations in advertising, marketing, media, finance and multinationals (e.g. IBM, Coke, etc.). The logo should appeal to the decision-makers at these companies (human resources professionals and upper level executives) AND the potential patients for our doctors - corporate workers with musculoskeletal aches and pains.
The logo will be used in print and on our website. We do not want anything with hands or a spine or any of the standard chiropractic/massage therapy imagery. The focus should be on health and the design should be crisp, optimistic and incorporate an image that can stand alone. The logo should incorporate the full company name "Health on Demand".
We welcome and embrace your creativity and thank you in advance for your help in developing our brand.

For middle school youth, relationships are a high priority. It is important to belong and to be a friend. During this youth event, we will look at friendships that we have and also friendships in the Bible. We’ll explore what it means to be a friend and discover ways to begin and deepen friendships.
Objectives
That with the help of the Holy Spirit participants will …
identify characteristics that are considered important in a good friend and that make you a friend to others;
discover why friendships constantly change; and
see Christ as your eternal friend who enables you to be a friend to others.
Materials Needed
Newsprint
Pipe cleaners, one per participant
Friendship Is…for each participant
3” x 5” cards, one per participant
Making Friends, for each participant
Bibles
Setup
To enhance the fellowship, it is helpful to have snacks. You may want to ask the youth to bring them. Create a warm, friendly atmosphere for the youth—have music playing, open the gym/ playground for them to utilize some of their energy. Publicize the event and send out invitations to all the junior high youth.
Ice Breaker
Divide the large group into small groups of four people each. Have participants share in the small group something about their families (brothers or sisters, jobs, school, grade level, etc.). Move the activity quickly by indicating “start” and “stop” for each person.
In their groups of four, have them complete the following requests by bending their pipe cleaner into a shape that answers each of the following. Ask them to explain their response.
Something I enjoy doing
An ambition of mine
Something that scares me
Something I like to do with friends
Learning Experience
Friendship Is.
Ask the youth to think about what their friends value about them—as being a friend. Then, from the list at the end of this study, check the important qualities or characteristics of being a friend. They may also add their own. (Copy and hand out a Friendship Is list to each person.) Have each person circle their top three characteristics. Share why these are important.
Defining Friendships.
Read the following statements and have each person respond with one of the following motions: agree—thumbs up; disagree-—thumbs down; maybe—wiggle hand; don’t know—shrug shoulders and hold out hands, palms up
Everyone needs friends.
Friendships take time.
Everyone struggles with being a friend.
It’s good for us to have friends.
Listening is an important quality for friendships.
A friend or friendship may be defined as “a person attached to another by respect of affection and acquaintance.” What else would you add to this definition? Share. Are there levels of friendship? Explain. (Some levels might include best friend, close friends, acquaintances, etc.)
Bible Friends.
An example of a close friendship is that of David and Jonathan. Read 1 Samuel 18:1-4; 1 Samuel 19:1-7; and 1 Samuel 20:42. List the qualities and characteristics of the friendship. Are they similar to your list in number 1? How? Allow time for sharing.
Self as Friend.
Have participants answer the following by standing in the corner that has the best answer for them. (You may encourage them to think about one specific friend as they answer each.) Tape to the wall of each corner one answer for every question.
With a friend, I would rather
go out
stay at home
try something new
sit and talk.
As a friend, I feel a strength I have is
Loyalty
Honesty
Fun
When a friend disappoints me,
I don’t talk to the friend
I try to work it out
I get very angry
I don’t know what to do
The word that best describes friendship for me is

Change in Friendships.
Have each person think about the friendships they have had. Ask if any of their friendships have changed since they began. Then list the factors that will cause a friendship to change.
Some possible answers could be that people change and grow; friends are unable to communicate with each other; hurt feelings arise; crisis times occur; our needs change; our perceptions change.
Alan Loy McGinnis, author of The Friendship Factor, says to “be ready for shifts in your relationships.” Changes will happen. Ask the group how they feel about that reality. Affirm the reality of change and that it is not to be feared.
Jesus as Friend.
Read Proverbs 18:24 and John 15:12-13.
Who is the friend who sticks closer than a brother? How could/why would Jesus be our best friend? How is Jesus a better friend than anyone could be? (He is always there; we can talk to Him anytime; He knows all of me; He loves me. Look at the characteristics from number 1.)
Empowered to Be Friends.
It is a joy to have friends, but it is not always easy to be a friend. It takes time and hard work. We will make mistakes and blow it at times, yet there can be forgiveness between friends. God is with us!
We can work on improving friendships. Have participants think about one friendship which they have (or one they would like to have, if they can’t think of one) and write on a 3” x 5” card one thing which they could do to improve the friendship. Tell them to be realistic and not to set a goal which they may be unable to accomplish. Ask them to complete this sentence: “To be a better friend, one thing that I can do is … “
Recreation
Use one or more of the following ideas:
Water Balloon Volleyball—groups use bedsheets to catch and throw the balloons.
Train—line up in chairs, two together with rows of two each lined up behind the other. Two people remain standing with all the other chairs filled. Of the two standing, one is it and one is being chased. The person who is it chases the other person only around the outside of the chairs. The person being chased may “escape” by sitting down in any chair, forcing the person in the seat to slide (either left or right) to the adjacent chair. The person who has now been pushed out of that chair becomes the one being chased. Then that person will sit down (after running a little, or right away) and force someone else out. Tag-backs are allowed.
Hug Tag/Elbow Tag—Pair off your group. Have partners lock elbows; this is the “safe” position. Choose one person to be it and another to be the one chased. It tries to tag the other person. The chased person may escape by locking arms with one person in a pair, thus forcing the other person in the pair to now be chased. Let the games go on for a while, but end them while there is still interest. Use them again at another event
Closing
Play or sing a song or hymn about friends.
Close with a circle prayer or a prayer by the leader, thanking God for being our constant friend, and for those who have befriended us. Ask for His help that we might grow to be better friends, remembering our ideas to improve a friendship.
Share the sheet entitled, “Ideas for Making Friends and Keeping Them Too” with each person.
If time permits do an affirmation exercise. Tape a blank sheet of paper on everyone’s back. Give each person a crayon. Ask everyone to go around and write on one another’s sheet positive words that describe what they appreciate about them. (But don’t sign their names.) After ten minutes, take off the papers and read them.

Lewicki and Hiam's Negotiation Matrix is a tool that can help you become a better negotiator.
It works by helping you to choose the best negotiation strategy for any situation. The tool doesn't guarantee that you'll get the outcome you want, but it will help you to approach the negotiation in the right way.
In the workplace, negotiation skills are useful every day. Yes, it could be that you're negotiating a billion-dollar business deal, but negotiation skills are also helpful for everyday tasks such as:
Agreeing on a deadline with your boss.
Solving conflicts within your team.
Allocating responsibilities to your team members.
Dissipating potentially explosive differences of opinion within your team.
Agreeing on suitable vacation dates with a team member.
Deciding on whether to order pizza or tacos if your team is working late.
In short, if you work in a team containing more than one person, having strong negotiation skills will help you achieve the outcomes you want. Additionally, as a skilled negotiator, you'll often be able to achieve win-win results where the other party is happy too.
Having good negotiation skills won't just impact your success in the workplace; it will also affect your happiness.
Negotiation occurs any time two or more people come together to resolve a difference of opinion.
In any negotiation, you will aim to reach a satisfactory outcome from your perspective. Sometimes you'll need to make compromises along the way to achieve a good result, but not always.
If you manage a team, then regular negotiation around responsibilities, targets, and deadlines must be agreed to everyone's satisfaction where possible. In this way, you will keep the goodwill of your team members and not disenfranchise them.
And this is especially true when it comes to undertaking any serious negotiation that is important to you or your organization. In fact, according to Leigh Thompson, author of the 2009 book, "The Mind and Heart of the Negotiator," roughly 80% of a negotiator's effort should be invested in the preparation stage.
Here are some steps to undertake when preparing for a negotiation:
Have a clear goal: work out exactly what it is that you're actually after.
Concessions: work out what compromises you're prepared to make to achieve what you want.
Scenarios: What other options might be available as an alternative outcome if you can't achieve your goal?
Leverage: Understand your power versus the power of your counterparty.
Authority: Set very clear limits on what you do and do not have the authority to agree.
Choose your negotiation approach: Many people wrongly assume that there is just one "best" way to negotiate. This isn't the case, and it's essential to choose your approach based upon the unique situation of your negotiation. This is the purpose of Lewicki and Hiam's Negotiation Matrix: to help you select your negotiation approach.
The Negotiation Matrix first appeared in a book entitled "Mastering Business Negotiation" by Roy Lewicki and Alexander Hiam.
It's a tool you should use before you enter negotiations with your counterparty. The tool works by helping you choose the best negotiation strategy based on your priorities.
The Negotiation Matrix can be seen in the diagram below.
According to the model, you choose your negotiation strategy based upon two factors:
The importance of the outcome: how important substantive results are, such as money, time, accomplishment, etc.
The importance of the relationship: how important relational outcomes are, such as building or maintaining your relationship with the counterparty.
According to how you rank these two factors, the Negotiation Matrix suggests one of five approaches to your negotiation.
1. Avoiding (lose-lose)
If neither the relationship nor the substantive outcomes are important to you, then the negotiation isn't worth entering into at all.
This negotiating strategy is also known as "lose-lose" because you have nothing to gain from the outcome or the relationship – it isn't possible for anything of value to come from the negotiation.
You implement this strategy by withdrawing from active negotiation or avoiding the negotiation altogether. It simply isn't worth investing your time into any discussion.
2. Accommodating (lose-to-win)
If your relationship with your counterparty is more important than the outcome, then you use this negotiation strategy. You can find this strategy in the upper left side of the Negotiation Matrix.
With this strategy, you choose to be relaxed about the outcome in order to maintain or build your relationship.
This negotiating strategy is also known as "lose-to-win" because you deliberately "lose" on the outcome dimension to "win" on the relationship dimension.
When the outcome is more important to you than the relationship, you may decide to negotiate hard for what you want, even if that results in your counterparty not getting what they want, and the relationship is damaged.
You use this strategy when you want to win at all costs. This strategy is known as "win-lose" because you win the outcome but lose the relationship. You can find this strategy at the bottom right of the Negotiation Matrix.
In this strategy, you are solely focused on what you get out of the situation.
4. Collaborating (win-win)
In the upper right of the Negotiating Matrix, you will find the Collaborating strategy, appropriate for when both the outcome and relationship are important.
This is called a "win-win" approach as the aim is to collaboratively work together until everyone gets what they want and so everyone is happy. Creative problem solving will be needed to find win-win solutions, and you must invest to build or maintain trust.
You use this approach when both parties have a lot to gain from a successful outcome, and you also want the ensure the relationship thrives over the long term. If your counterparty has as much to gain as you, they also have an incentive to work hard to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome.
5. Compromising (split the difference)
In the middle of the Negotiation Matrix is the Compromising strategy.
This strategy is used when both the substantive outcome and relationship are important, but for whatever reason, collaboration is not an option.
The aim of a compromise negotiation is that all parties give up a bit of what they want so that everyone gets at least a little of what they want; that is, they "split the difference." There may be some damage to the relationship, but the aim is to keep this to a minimum.
Negotiation Matrix Examples
Let's look at a few Negotiation Matrix examples to see how you might approach different negotiation scenarios in the real world.
You have been asked to negotiate a new deal with a supplier to provide new desks and chairs for your office.
Approach: In this scenario, the desks and chairs you are interested in could likely be supplied to you by any one of several local suppliers. Because you can choose from several suppliers, the relationship is not important to you. However, you are focused on getting the best price. In this scenario, you would choose the Competing negotiation strategy.
Again, you have been asked to negotiate with a supplier. But this time, they are your biggest supplier and difficult to replace. Likewise, you are one of their biggest customers.
Approach: In this scenario, the outcome is important but so is maintaining the relationship for the long term. In this case, it makes sense to use a Collaboration strategy.
You have been asked to manage a minor project. Unfortunately, a key person you require to complete the project doesn't report to you, but another manager, who also needs to use this person to achieve their objectives, that of delivering a much more important project.
Approach: As your project is significantly less critical to your organization than your counterparty's project, in this scenario, you might decide to adopt an Accomodating approach to negotiation, whereby you sacrifice achieving your objectives to allow the more important project to succeed. Of course, it would be a good idea to discuss this approach with your boss to ensure they are happy with it.
Lewicki and Hiam's Negotiation Matrix is a tool to use before you enter a negotiation that can help you decide on a negotiation strategy.
The tool works by considering two factors: the importance of the outcome to you and the importance of your relationship with your counterparty.
The tool won't guarantee that you achieve the outcomes you're hoping for, but it will help you approach the negotiation in the right way.

Jun 15, 2010, 22:44 ET from American Businesses for Clean Energy (ABCE), Washington, D.C.
New Statement Follows June 9th Small Business Survey on Same Issues
WASHINGTON, June 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- President Obama's appeal this evening for Congress to act swiftly to move the United States forward on clean energy is being applauded by American Businesses for Clean Energy (ABCE), the largest group of small- and medium-sized companies supporting such steps. Now with nearly 5,000 companies and growing rapidly, ABCE is on the Web at http://www.abce.us.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100426/DC93350LOGO )
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100426/DC93350LOGO )
"American businesses join President Obama in his call to embrace a clean energy future. Thousands of US companies want Congress to develop and pass comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation that will create millions of new jobs and usher in the next great American economic boom.
Not only will such a step help prevent another oil spill catastrophe, it also will pave the way for America's long-overdue clean energy future.
President Obama is absolutely correct to say that the time for talking and stalling is over. We join the President in calling for action by our federal lawmakers on clean energy and climate. Main Street businesses and larger companies urgently need this step that will help boost America up to the next level in terms of economic growth and prosperity."
On June 9, 2010, ABCE joined Small Business Majority in releasing a major new bi-partisan poll conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research and American Viewpoint that found strong support among small business owners for clean energy and climate legislation. The survey, which included interviews with 800 small business owners, is one of the first to look specifically at small business owners' attitudes regarding clean energy policies.

Helicopter AgustaWestland AW119Kx.
The helicopter AgustaWestland AW119Kx is the evolution of the well-known model AgustaWestland A119Koala, which has become popular for a reason as it has excellent performance characteristics. Agusta AW119 helicopters have earned the title of a safe air transport due to improved quality of stability and safety of the flight at an altitude of hover and service ceiling. The Agusta 119 is suitable for the quick and cost-effective move for distances up to 1,000 kilometers with almost seven passengers and one pilot on board. The flight range of the model of five tank configuration is 954 kilometers.
The speed of the take-off climb is 9.4 meters per second, while the hover ceiling of the Augusta 119 helicopter within the ground effect (IGE) is 3,352 meters, and the lower ceiling (OGE) is 2,225 meters. It means that the Agusta AW119 helicopter can make a vertical climb to an altitude of 2,225 meters, without changing its horizontal position, and hover without a risk of engine failure. By the way, the engine unit used in AgustaWestland AW119Kx, which provides a maximum takeoff power of 917 horsepower and a continuous power of 900 horsepower, is provided by famous Pratt & Whitney in PT6B-37A modification. With this engine, the Agusta AW119 helicopter can perform charter flights over distances up to 954 miles with a cruising speed of 256 kilometers per hour. If necessary, sacrificing the distance, Agusta 119 can reach a speed up to 282 kilometers per hour. Flight duration with AgustaWestland AW119Kx does not exceed five hours and twenty minutes in the modification with five fuel tanks for 870 liters. Service ceiling for AgustaWestland AW119Kx is set at an altitude of more than 4,572 meters.
Passengers, who prefer comfortable charter flights, prefer helicopters because of the lower cost of the trip compared to business jets. But at the same time, the comfort of the cabin is designed to meet the needs of their potential users. The eight square meter cabin of August 119 is attractive for one of many options of the standard interior or it can be specially designed upon the customer's wishes.
The business version of flights for VIP-persons provides a separate luggage compartment for 150 kilograms and a comfortable club room for seven passengers.
The reliability of the AgustaWestland AW119Kx helicopter is confirmed by the fact that this Agusta AW119 model is used for offshore operations, search and rescue missions and medical needs. The cabin in this case varies depending on the purpose. Despite its compact size, the cabin is capable of accommodating medical personnel, two pairs of stretchers and equipment to take care of an injured person during the flight. At the same time, the space required for observation and operation manipulations is also provided. The August 119 is used by special services and law enforcement agencies because of its speed and maneuverability.

AGUSTAWESTLAND AW139 HELICOPTER FOR SALE – ICC JET. USED & NEW HELICOPTERS AGUSTAWESTLAND AW139 FOR SALE.
Helicopter AgustaWestland AW139.
One of the most prestigious and expensive helicopters, the AgustaWestland AW139 is highly regarded in the business aviation market for a reason. AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters are popular for sale among only very wealthy people, when others prefer the Agusta AW139 for a long or short-term lease for private and corporate charter flights over distances up to 1,252 kilometers.
The Agusta AW139 helicopter has a spacious and comfortable cabin, designed to carry up to 15 people, and a modern Honeywell Primus Epic, into which all onboard equipment is integrated. Flight safety on the Agusta 139 is enhanced through four line duplex autopilot and large LCD displays that reduce pilot workload and concentrate his attention on really important points of the flight. As an option for August AW139, it is possible to install the anti-icing system – an altitude of 6,096 meters requires compliance with these safety requirements. Hover height within the ground effect is 4,682 meters, and beyond the ground effect is 2,478 meters.
The efficiency of the AgustaWestland AW139 helicopter is also explained by the fact that it almost does not use low resource elements, and therefore has less need for maintenance. The interior design of AgustaWestland AW139 is performed according to the end use of the helicopter: either for medical, search and rescue and security needs or for business purposes (corporate and private flights).
The maximum flight duration with AgustaWestland AW139 does not exceed six hours. Also, August AW139 has two-engine engine unit Pratt & Whitney PT 6 C - 67 C with a thrust at takeoff of 1,679 horsepower and a steady thrust of 1,531 horsepower, standard tank for 1,562 liters of fuel and a capacity to install additional fuel tank of 500 liters. The transmission power of this model on the take-off is 2,200 horsepower, and the continuous power is 2,000 horsepower. The climb capability of the Agusta AW139 helicopter is 10.9 meters per second, which makes it possible to quickly reach the necessary altitude for horizontal travel.
A high standard of comfort, taken as a basis when designing AgustaWestland AW139, offers a high interior comfort for four to eight people. Soft wide seats, two of which are rotating and can be shifted along the guide, invisible sources of artificial lighting, six windows and a low level of noise and vibration have found their admirers: charter flights with AgustaWestland AW139 with VIP-interiors are very popular among clients. A less spacious interior with three rows of fixed simple chairs will be suitable for corporate flights at a relatively small distance.

Posted byOwen Mar 20, 2022 Jul 13, 2022 Posted inUncategorizedTags:Article, Indian Wells, Player Profile, Sakkari, WTA, Świątek
At the 2021 U.S. Open, Maria Sakkari split tiebreak sets with Bianca Andreescu in the fourth round. Andreescu won the first and was two points away from winning the second and with it the match, but Sakkari fought to level the contest. At 3-all in the third set, the match a three-hour slugfest at this point, Andreescu’s legs were gone. She fought gamely, but her face was a mask of agony for the final half-hour. At times, she was cramping after every point. It was painful to watch — Andreescu’s talent and will to win are nearly bottomless, but her body had been ground to dust. There was nothing left.
As Andreescu battled her failing legs, Sakkari looked fine. This is what she does. Physically, she has few equals on tour. Her arms are heavily muscled, but her cardiovascular capabilities are equally impressive. She never seems to get tired. Coupled with her easy power, she is a menacing opponent. She won the last three games of the match against Andreescu to move into the quarterfinals.
After outlasting Andreescu, Sakkari stepped on court against Karolina Plíšková, the Wimbledon runner-up. With a marathon under her belt in the previous round, the match looked likely to be a challenge. Instead, Sakkari dismissed Plíšková 6-4, 6-4. She lost eight points on serve. Against the 4th seed in the tournament. It was a dominant, dominant win, reaffirming Sakkari’s supreme serving ability. Her delivery is hard to read — she’s not an ace machine, but is a fantastic spot server. She has played many matches in which her serve has easily been the dominant shot on court. Not only is Sakkari a brilliant server, she has firepower from the baseline. She defends well. When she is on, there is no obvious spot to attack.
Entering the U.S. Open semifinals, there was a good argument that Sakkari was the favorite to win the title. Sabalenka, the second seed, was there, but Sakkari had been in better form. The other semifinalists were teenagers. Sakkari had made a major semifinal earlier that year at Roland-Garros and nearly won it. She looked primed to win her first major.
Instead, Emma Raducanu beat Sakkari 6-1, 6-4. Sakkari had a handful of break points early on, couldn’t convert any, and was against the wall from there. The only moments of tension were when she battled to avoid a double break deficit in the second set. Raducanu was flawless, yes, but Sakkari was unable to impress her game on the rising star.
It’s not that Sakkari is a choker — at times, she can be extremely clutch. Last year in Miami, she saved six match points en route to beating Jessica Pegula. She hit winners on five of them. Sakkari’s yips seem less about the immediate fear of winning and more about a wariness of what awaits at the upper echelon of the game. Sakkari is becoming more and more consistent — she became #3 in the world midway through Indian Wells — but it still feels a bit like she still sits on the second tier of stars, behind the likes of Barty, Osaka, Świątek, Krejčíková, Badosa, and other big title winners.
*****
Sakkari has been in imperious form during the Indian Wells tournament. In the semifinals — often the round that is a stumbling block for her — she clashed with Paula Badosa, the defending champion. Sakkari breadsticked her in the third set, serving out the match at love, feeling no nerves.
The final against Iga Świątek presented an opportunity for Sakkari to launch herself into the very upper reaches of the elite in one fell swoop. She would not only capture a first big title, but she would leapfrog Świątek to claim the #2 ranking. Sakkari had beaten the 2020 Roland-Garros champion in three of their four meetings, including a huge fourth-round upset in Paris last year. Sakkari being able to take her chances to win seemed a bigger question than whether or not she would have chances to win.

It wasn’t that Sakkari seemed crippled by the nerves, but she never seemed to be totally free of them. Early on, Świątek struggled badly with her serve, double faulting four times in her first two service games. Sakkari broke her both times, but couldn’t consolidate. When the match settled into a more typical pattern late in the first set, Sakkari couldn’t find a way to win points on her second serve, and Świątek quickly broke to take the opening stanza.
Sakkari didn’t go away in the second set — at 0-1, she went for a big second serve and forced an error, then saved a two break points to hold. She crushed a couple forehand winners in Świątek’s next service game. The 2020 Roland-Garros champion then picked up speed, though, delivering an offensive and defensive masterclass. Two breaks of Sakkari’s serve came in short order.
This, I thought, was the biggest difference between the players. Sakkari, though she played well at times, was never at her best. Świątek found her top level early in the second set, then never let go of it. Every Sakkari miscue became that much more painful, since it was obvious she wasn’t getting any help from her opponent. Sakkari didn’t serve that well, but she hit her share of service winners. Her backhand was erratic for part of the match, but she hit some remarkable counterpunching shots from that wing. Sakkari’s plight lay in stringing such moments together rather than producing them at all.
Really tough windy conditions, but this was a really tough final for Maria Sakkari. Swiatek kept pinning her in the backhand corner, breaking down that side – which tends to be a lot flatter and doesn’t have as much margin.

Indian Wells has still been a productive tournament for Sakkari. Sure, she’s still without a big title, but it’s hard to imagine that will last much longer. The win over Badosa in the semifinals was one of the best wins of her career. She is #3 in the world and her game is without a big weakness. She continues to sail upwards.

Her spotty performances in some big matches may not even be a big enough deal to be a cause for concern. Every player suffers from the fear of winning at some point (if that is indeed the reason Sakkari has struggled). Logically, it’s clear that being afraid of winning makes no sense, it is what all players aspire to, but this is a lesson that has to be experienced rather than learned. Sakkari breaking through for many big titles in the future looks likely. It will then become clear that she had no reason to doubt herself.
The top of the game is an unforgiving place, as Sakkari will know well after going up against Świątek’s flawless tennis in the second set of the Indian Wells final. Still, Sakkari need not be wary of what is to come. Her last opponent to overcome before winning a big title is herself rather than whoever is on the other side of the net. Any doubts Sakkari may have are conquerable because her tennis is ready.

Performance Vauxhall Show 2016 Mega Gallery | Fast Car
Posted by Glenn Rowswell on 15th June 2016
It may have been a bit wet, but there was nothing washed out about the Performance Vauxhall Show for fans of performance and modified Vauxhalls, which took place at Santa Pod.
The gloomy weather did nothing to put people off – over 2,000 cars were on display, with a huge number of club stands exhibiting a wide range of tweaked and tuned models from the Vauxhall and Opel stables, attracting nearly 10,000 visitors.
The amazing action and diversity of cars at the show meant that gloomy skies did nothing to deter, as Vauxhall fans flocked from around the country to what many of them regard as a must-attend event.
And this year was as lively as ever, with a thriving retail village and over 2,000 sensational cars on display. PVS goes from strength to strength, with a hugely loyal base of supporters that clearly love one of the UK's most cherished car brands.

Marrying Eros Ramazzotti transformed Michelle from well known model to instant superstar.She left the catwalks to land roles ad host or assistant in many TV Shows in Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Italy is not only famous for its thousand-year old culture, its delicious food and the amazing landscape, but also for the mediterranean beauty of its women.
She also partecipated in many popular Italian movies, like the "Vacanze di..." series and lent her voice to the character of Gloria, the she-hyppopothamus in Dream Work's "Madagascar" movie.
Michelle started her career very young: at just 18 she already was famous for being one of the most sought after fashion models, for being the face, or rather, the backside, of the Italian lingerie brand Roberta and for her marriage with one of the most famous Italian pop singers of the time: Eros Ramazzotti.
They went separate ways a few years after the birth of their son. She not only hosts some of the most famous Italian shows, she is also an accomplished actress, having played in movies like "Il Mio West", with David Bowie and Harvey Keitel, and many sitcoms.

Iowa Republicans reach compromise on bottle bill changes | who13.com
Posted: May 24, 2022 / 06:11 AM CDT
Updated: May 24, 2022 / 06:37 AM CDT
DES MOINES, IOWA — Forty-four years in the making, Iowa lawmakers have finally passed changes to the bottle bill.
On Monday, the Iowa Senate passed on Senate File 2378 to Governor Kim Reynolds' desk for her signature. The House passed this bill back in the middle of April.
The bill will change the 1-cent handling fee for redemption centers to 3-cents. Retailers are also able to get that 3-cent handling fee if they want to continue to collect cans; but the legislation has several ways for businesses to get out of collecting.
"Dealers will be able to opt-out effective upon enactment if they meet one of several provisions. And that would be a food establishment license is held," said State Senator Jason Schultz, (R) from Schleswig. "That would include all main grocery stores and convenience stores, leaving just a few retailers selling pop and not food."
There are several other ways for a retailer to get out of collecting bottles and cans, like if a retailer is within a certain amount of miles of a bottle redemption center.
The bill passed the House with a lot of bipartisan support, but in the Senate on Monday it was a different story. The vote was 30-15, with all of the "no" votes belonging to Democrats. The concern from the party came from the lack of convenience the bill will provide to consumers.
"But we are going to let the people who sell bottles and cans essentially off the hook for collecting cans and when we do that we are going to make it a lot harder to bring their bottles or cans back," said State Senator Joe Bolkcom, (D) from Iowa City. "We are still going to charge consumers 5 cents for the privilege of buying a bottle or a can. But what we are going to find is a reduction in the number of bottles and cans that are getting recycled."
Bolkcom also added that it was an estimated $40-50 million that consumers wouldn't see back in their pockets if they chose not to return their cans.

Satire: No Outer Space Invasion Should Interfere with President Obama's Fundraising Schedule
This article is published here.
Note: The following is my daydream of a New York Times editorial a few weeks hence, after the craziness regarding the hurricane and the Republican convention. It is intended to be over-the-top satire that might make you laugh. The point is, though, that things have become so totally bizarre that I wouldn't rule out something like this happening.
Under any circumstances, the appearance of an alien attack fleet would seem to be a cause for alarm. Of course, we are not referring to good "aliens," the people sneaking across our borders in the hope of getting citizenship and the ability to vote in elections—not necessarily in that order. No, we are referring to the aliens from the star system of Alpha Orionis whose space ships are even now circling our planet.
As everyone knows by now, the aliens have broadcast a threat that unless their demands are met within 24 hours they will start destroying one American state a day, killing all forms of life within its borders. There are those who have wrongly concluded, however, that the president should immediately cease his fundraising activities and that the schedule of the Democratic Convention be altered.
We view this as short sighted, mainly pushed by the far-right faction that has taken over the Republican Party. There is a big difference between an alien attack that bodes ill for the survival of all Americans and a hurricane hitting the Gulf Coast. No one would suggest that the president prefers to be partying while Americans were dying horribly. It's just that doing so is his personal duty, made perhaps less onerous by the fact that some of the specific states that might be wiped out, say Arizona or Utah for example.
Fund-raising and nominating conventions are a necessary part of the American political process. Consequently, these are legitimately the highest priority for a president compared to, say, dealing with the wrecked economy, massive unemployment, inflation, the takeover of Egypt by a genocidal-oriented totalitarian regime, and such relatively secondary problems.
Finally, we should address the potential advantages of the destruction of America by the space invaders' advanced weapons. The U.S. debt would be wiped out overnight. Since no one would be alive to look for work the unemployment rate would be zero. And we would have achieved perfect equality. As an added bonus, the United States, a country that has done so much damage in the world, would be gone and the rest of the globe's people would be free to pursue their development without fear of someone stealing their resources. Well, someone other than those from Alpha Orionis at least.
We do not know much about the culture or even the skin—if they have skin—or the gender—if they have gender—of the voyagers from Alpha Orionis. But we can certainly say that they are part of the universe's rainbow of diversity.
Who is to say that Homo Sapiens, that breed which has ravished this planet environmentally, is superior to these visitors? Perhaps they have free birth control pills and recycling, the main features of a truly advanced civilization.
In short, who are we to judge?
But one thing is clear: threats of the imminent destruction of America should not disrupt the president's schedule or the Democratic Party convention. That would be truly silly.

Where Are the Muslim Anti-Islamists? They're the People Battling and Being Murdered by the Islamists
A reader asks: where are all these tens and even hundreds of millions of Muslim anti-Islamists.
I wrote an entire book about the liberals and moderates called The Long War for Freedom. There are a number of scholars who have written such books, even analogies of moderate Muslim writings. Oh, yes, and then there is every book and article written by non-Islamist Muslims over decades.
The problem today is that we are caught between two lies. The mainstream Western lie is that Islam is a religion of peace full stop. There is nothing at all militant in its texts. A small fringe of extremists have misinterpreted it or are even heretics. So all Muslims are moderates pretty much, either moderate moderates or moderate Islamists. And anyone who says otherwise is an Islamophobic racist.
But then there are those—far smaller in number and lacking power in the mainstream media or universities but present in other places—who say Islam is the problem full stop. It is inevitably militant, extremist, and violence. There is no such thing as political Islamism because all Muslims want Sharia dictatorships. So the radicals are proper representatives and there are few or no moderates at all. And anyone who says otherwise is a wimpy apologist sell-out.
Please be subscriber 29,876 (among about 46,000 total readers). Put email address in upper right-hand box: http://www.rubinreports.blogspot.com
Let me once again define the two key groups of Muslims who are anti-Islamist and relatively moderate by far in comparison:
--Muslims who are moderates are people whose religion is Islam but are not revolutionary Islamists. They might be Arab nationalists, or pro-democratic; they might be primarily loyal to identities as Turks, Kurds, Berbers, Iranians; or supporters of a communal-ethnic grouping like the Sunni Muslims of Lebanon or many of the Muslims of both types in Iraq or a variety of Muslims in the former Soviet republics and Russia itself who have national or communal identities. [Note: I don't consider Alawites or Druze to be Muslims but if you do then you can count them as anti-Islamist Muslims, too.
And don't forget all those Indian Muslims and Muslims in many countries who might support any one of many different parties or movements. There are Muslims who are left-wing, too. And then there are huge numbers of African Muslims who aren't Islamists but have other loyalties.
In other words, lots of Muslims have their own political views. Remember for example that 60 percent of Tunisians voted for secular parties. In Turkey, the Islamists had to disguise themselves and there are so many opposed to them that if the rival parties ever got their act together they could toss them out of office. Even in Syria there are lots of liberal, moderate, or traditional Sunni Muslims. If we only helped those people rather than the Islamists (thanks to Obama policy and its funneling through Islamist Turkey and financing by Qatar and Saudi Arabia) the moderates might even win.
These people listed above vary in their religious views from pious, to different varieties, to lax, or secular but they are still Muslims.
--There are far fewer people who could be called moderates who want to reform Islam in some active way. Perhaps it is the relative shortage of these people that is misleading. The number of liberal Muslim reformers is not large, partly due to repression and intimidation. To some extent, though not completely, a lot of the alleged power of the reform movement is a creation of Western apologist propaganda. Yes, real moderate reformers do exist—a variety of articles and books deal with their ideas—and they are courageous people. Unfortunately, the Western mass media often favors the phonies.
Yet aside from all the varieties of Islam (one of which is the moderate Sufi view) and relative secularists and the sincere but relatively inactive Muslims, there's something else, too. I call it conservative-traditional Islam and it has been very powerful. Conservative-traditional Islam has dominated, for example, the Arab world and Iran and Turkey and lots of other places for decades. It has several different approaches.
Among the Shia there is the "Quietist" Islam which means to be very religious and stay out of politics. This is the Islam that Ayatollah Khomeini battled, defeated, and his regime has tried to repress. But it is very much alive and one day—though it might take many decades—it will boot out the Islamists of today right to the bottom of the Persian Gulf. It is also very active in Lebanon and in Iraq, too.
Then there is the conservative-traditionalist Islam that has controlled the official positions throughout the Arab world and will now be rooted out by the Muslim Brotherhood if it can. These clerics are not necessarily lovable liberals but they are not advocates of violent revolution and people who fully intend to implement genocide. They viewed the Islamists as heretical and just ignorant, though many have surrendered or gone over to the winning side.
And in some places, notably Indonesia and places in sub-Saharan Africa, a systematically moderate Islam has emerged and run things for many years, though it is being challenged by the Islamists.
One more thing, if the foolish and ignorant governments in many Western countries actually helped real moderates, secularists, assimilationist or acculturating-oriented Muslims, and even conservative-traditionalist ones, perhaps the Islamists would be getting pushed back in the West, especially Europe. Instead, the intellectual establishments and governments often back, coddle, fund, and cheer the radicals.
Imagine being an Italian immigrant to America in the 1930s who hated Mussolini or an anti-Hitler German and being told that the anti-democratic front groups were the real and legitimate representatives of your people! And while the analogy is far from exact (it happened some but nothing like today's equivalent): the American media romanticizes the pro-Hitler German-American Bund, conceals its fascist antisemitism, and then other people ask: Where are the moderate Germans?
So let's get it straight: Revolutionary Islamists are real Muslims with a big base of support who want to impose repressive Sharia dictatorships. They draw on actual Islamic doctrine and can argue that their views are legitimately those of the Koran and the other holy texts. They are not a small minority but a growing mass movement that in places either has majority support or can whip the majority into line. Telling the truth about what is in Islamic texts is an intellectual duty. Showing how radicals use these texts is simple scholarly integrity.
But that doesn't mean that all of Islam is inevitably radical. It doesn't mean that the revolutionary Islamists are right and all their Muslim opponents are wrong. It doesn't mean we don't have courageous allies among Muslims. And they are far more courageous than the posturing Western ignoramuses who romanticize the revolutionary Islamist murderers.
We don't have to agree on everything but I have met so many such valiant people—as well as people I didn't like but we recognized our need to cooperate—it would take a long story to tell. Let me leave you with one experience.
I'm lecturing at a university in North America. Of course, I am there as an Israeli; I am explaining Israel and its policies; but I am also explaining that the great battle of our time is that against revolutionary Islamism.
In the front row sits a young man, a graduate student apparently, wearing the biggest Palestinian kaffiyeh I've ever seen. As I speak, he nods vigorously. His smiling and evident agreement throws me off more than if he had been heckling me.
At the end of the talk he rushed up and said something like the following: "I'm a proud Palestinian. I want us to have our own free country. And I don't want those Islamist crazies to keep the battle going for my whole life or turn my country into a nightmarish dictatorship."
I've heard parallel things from Turks and Iranians, Syrians and Iraqis, Egyptians and Tunisians, and others.
OK. One more. I was speaking at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, France. I was wearing a nice suit and tie. I come out and there is a demonstration of 300? 400? Iranians against the repression of the regime there. I walk over and shout out, in my very limited Persian, "Long Live Free Iran!"
They go crazy applauding. They crowd around me: Am I a European member of parliament?
No, I explain, I'm an Israeli just giving a talk there. Their faces fall. Not one—not one—single European Member of Parliament has come out to join them or congratulate them or cheer them. Not one non-Iranian European has come to march alongside them.
The Westerners only turn out to bash Israel, even if it means cheering Hamas and Hizballah.
Sure, Muslim communities in Europe and America hardly ever renounce terrorism or fight the Islamists or explain to converts that Usama bin Ladin and Khomeini and the Muslim Brotherhood aren't big heroes.
Why? Because those radical forces are in power, often with collaboration from Western leftists, intellectuals, academics, and officials. Ask any moderate Muslim or Muslim who is moderate whether the Western mass media show any interest in interviewing him to discuss the battle against the radicals.
And yes we have the right to demand that these communities teach against revolutionary Islamism and terrorism instead of pretending it's all an Islamist plot.
But ask just not why more moderates don't exist, ask why you aren't helping them and acting as their allies in our common battle. After all, their lives are the ones most on the line.

Why Revolutionary Sunni Islamism is the World's Greatest Strategic Threat and None of it is Moderate
http://pjmedia.com/barryrubin/2012/08/27/why-revolutionary-sunni-islamism-is-the-world%E2%80%99s-greatest-strategic-threat-and-none-of-it-is-moderate/
No, it sure isn't the age of Aquarius or of Multicultural, Politically Correct love-ins. It's the age of revolutionary Islamism, especially Sunni Islamism. And you better learn to understand what this is all about real fast.
(Shia Islamism, important mainly because of Iran and especially because of its nuclear ambitions, is number two on the threat list. But that's not our topic today.)
Focusing on the Sunni revolutionary Islamist tidal wave, the foundation of knowledge is that there are three types and they are all bad, very bad. A lot of people are going to be misinforming you about this and getting others—never themselves, of course—killed.
Sometimes people ask me why I use the phrase "revolutionary" Sunni Islamism. The reason is to remind everyone that this is a revolutionary movement like those of the past that seek to use a variety of strategies and tactics--of which violence might be only one--to seize, hold, and use state power to transform societies.
Some ask why I use the word "Islamism" and the reason is because this is a specific, conscious set of organized political movements. However theology is related to this issue the problem is political, not theological. Anyone who watched over decades as I have how the radicals had to sell the idea that "jihad" today meant picking up guns, cutting off people's heads, overthrowing governments, and assembling mobs of thousands screaming for death and destruction, would have no illusion that they had an easy time of it.
This didn't happen because somebody just pointed to some verses in the Koran and everyone said: Oh, now I get it! We must seize control of the world and kill everyone else. They murdered or intimidated into silence Muslims who disagreed with them. Even today hundreds of millions of Muslims oppose revolutionary Islamism. And if you don't play it smart to have those people as allies--some out of mutually cynical self-interest and some as true brothers who want to live in freedom just like you do--and help them save their lives and countries you will never achieve anything.

The three types are the al-Qaida style groups; the Salafists, and the Muslim Brotherhood. They are all equally dangerous and some are more dangerous in different ways. Have no illusions.
To understand al-Qaida, which of course goes under many names and regional local groups, is simple. It has one strategy: kill! Its only tactic is terrorism. It is like those nineteenth-century revolutionary movements that always failed and for which the Marxists had so much contempt.
These small groups were always persuaded that if the workers would only be roused to a general strike or that enough officials would be assassinated the revolution would come like a nuclear explosion. Now, these movements always failed but sometimes they laid the basis for others to succeed. Remember, the People's Will helped launch the Russian revolutionary movement; an anarchist assassinated an American president; the Serbian state-sponsored terrorist cell set off World War One in 1914, and of course al-Qaida created September 11.
Al-Qaida and its various versions in Morocco, Gaza (the Palestinian Resistance Committees), Iraq, Somalia, Europe, Yemen, and a dozen other places is dangerous because it can stage terrorist attacks. In a place where no government exists—like Somalia—it might conceivably seize power. But al-Qaida is not the great threat of the twenty-first century. It is a problem for counter-terrorism and relatively lightweight counterinsurgency.
They may be the worst guys but they are not the West's main global strategic problem. Everybody who isn't basically a supporter of an al-Qaida group hates al-Qaida except for the Taliban which is really sort of a similar version. Why? Simple. Because al-Qaida wants to overthrow every regime (they do play a little footsy with Iran but even that's limited). Oh, and they also loathe Shia Muslims which makes for even more enemies and fewer potential allies.
It is "stupid" to have no friends because that means everyone has a motive to get you and nobody has a reason to help you or give you safe haven. Doesn't sound like brilliant strategy, right? But there's more.
Al-Qaida, although the name means in Arabic "base," ironically, has no political base. It sets up no real mass organizations; it doesn't do social welfare work capable of rallying whole countries behind it. There is no way that hundreds of thousands or millions of people will rally to its cause. Imagine someone in 1917 saying in Moscow, "Forget about those moderate Bolsheviks. It's the anarchists we have to fear."
In other words, they are in a distant third place.
But even al-Qaida can be used by the Brotherhood. Look at what happened: an al-Qaida group stormed into an Egyptian base, killed lots of soldiers, stole a couple of vehicles, and attacked the border with Israel.
True, the Egyptian regime (that is, the Brotherhood) attacked and killed some of the al-Qaida people. After all, these terrorists had murdered Egyptian soldiers. But what did the regime tell its people? That Israel was behind the attack. Israel had murdered Egyptians. And therefore there is more reason than ever to hate and wage war against Israel. This is how Middle Eastern politics works. And that's one reason why the Brotherhood—as it incites to hatred and violence even as it kills the even more hateful and violent—will never be moderate.
Then there are the Salafists, a word coined only recently in part as a pretense to pretend that the Muslim Brotherhood is moderate. But this also does describe a distinct set of groups, for example the Palestinian groups Jaish al-Islam and Jaish al-Umma. Egypt is the place where the Salafists developed in a most sophisticated fashion. But it's important to understand why that happened. Indeed, that point is central to comprehending what's going on now.
In the 1970s, when President Anwar al-Sadat made the mistake of letting the Brotherhood return to public life in practice, he threw fear into them. Advocate violence in Egypt; come out too openly against the regime; even become too successful and back to the concentration camps you go!
So the Brotherhood leadership, elderly and many of whom had been tortured and seen their colleagues hung, played it cool. They had no illusions about underestimating the strength of the regime. Yes, they said, the day of revolution will come but meanwhile we are in a long-term stage of da'wa, organize and educate. Patience is essential. Don't make the regime too mad. Yes, hooray for killing Israelis and Americans! But at home keep the murders to a few too boldly open secularists.
There were, of course, young men who were too impatient. "Our leaders are cowards. They have betrayed the true word of Islam! Let us organize for a more imminent revolution, maybe even take up arms right now and shoot down the evil regime's officials." And they even gunned down Sadat himself. There were many such groups—one, Islamic Jihad, joined up with al-Qaida—but they had different views, mixes of strategies, and leaders. Some were almost sects with charismatic shaykhs.
Now they have blossomed forth, eager for violence and instant revolution. Their al-Nour party—which only represents part of this complex mix of groups that may or may not cooperate—got about 20 percent of the parliamentary vote.
Is the Brotherhood their friend or enemy? Should they raid police stations and blow up pipelines or not? Should they set up morality patrols and beat up young men walking with women and also women who aren't dressed as the Salafists wish? There are many different views.
Sometimes the Brotherhood uses the Salafists as a convenient excuse. If Islamic Jihad lobs rockets and mortars at Israel, well—wink, wink, nudge, nudge—that isn't the fault of Hamas is it? At times, the Salafists can furnish the Brotherhood with the needed storm troops though I would not suggest for a moment that the Brotherhood owns the Salafists. They are definitely two different groupings, but their interests can blend and the "radical" Salafists provide the "moderate" Brotherhood with a convenient excuse when one is needed.
One thing is clear though: the Salafists' goal is the precise, exact same as that of the Brotherhood. The only question is how fast to go, how radical to talk, and how much violence to use.
And another thing is also clear: neither in Egypt, nor in Tunisia, nor in Gaza (where the Brotherhood is called Hamas) will the Salafists overthrow the Brotherhood people. We can be less sure about Syria where the balance of forces is not yet so clear.
Finally, we come to the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is the Communist Party of Islamism. And you don't have to take it from me; that was an idea expressed by the moderate, anti-Islamist brother of the Brotherhood's founder.
The Brotherhood wants a Sharia state. It would like a caliphate (run by itself of course). It wants Israel wiped off the map and America kicked out of the Middle East. It wants women put into second-class citizenship and gays put into their graves. It wants Christians subordinated or thrown out. It wants all of these things.
And it will pursue these goals with patience and strategic cleverness. One step forward, one step back; tell the Western reporters and politicians what they want to hear. Pretend to be moderate in English while screaming death curses in Arabic.
These are the people who are coming to power. They hate their Shia counterparts generally and will kill them also at times. They will drag down their countries' economies. Ironically, they will succeed in making Israel relatively stronger as they beat and burn and tear down; as they set back their countries economic advancement; as they kick half the population (the female) down the stairs.
They will lose. Just as the Communists did; just as the Nazis did; just as the Fascists and Japanese militarists did. But how many decades will it take? How many millions of people dead and injured? How much human potential and natural resources wasted?
And will Western policy make easier the ultimate triumph of moderation, moderation that includes millions of anti-Islamist Muslims and also includes lots of Middle Eastern Berbers, Kurds, Turks, Iranians, Druze, Christians and—yes—Israel. Or will the West make things harder, longer, and worse?
Of victory, I have no doubt. Of Western good sense, all too much uncertainty.

I had two interesting responses to my article on Baltimore and the decay of America and because my energy level is very low now as I begin treatment for cancer allow me to respond briefly.
One friend asks why you believe that Romney and Ryan have answers for fixing America. Because America must decide whether it is going to be a society of productivity, making new things and wealth, or merely looting and passing around the ruins of Rome. A city like Baltimore will not be rebuilt by taking money to lower living standards in the suburbs but by creating great new enterprises that produce goods and services people want.
Another polite reader put the following in the nicest possible way—I'm not being sarcastic—don't the Republicans and Romney just represent nineteenth century plutocratic greedy capitalism dressed up as free enterprise? Millions of Americans believe this and unless they change their minds America will not change.
Yes, that evil Romney who wants to buy another 100 Rolls Royces not like those modest-living Kennedys, Gores, and all the rest, including a serious Democratic presidential candidate who betrayed his cancer-stricken wife after making a fortune on rather questionable legal actions. And I seem to recall a great lionized hero who--let's face it there's no doubt, murdered a poor young working-class woman and left her to drown without ever paying for his crime. Sure there are bad conservatives and bad Republicans, corrupt and immoral people, but for goodness sake you aren't treating them as great tribunes of the masses, as the friends of the exploiters, as they line their pockets from yours.
It's time to rethink the reality we live in.
Look, it ain't 1895 any more. Does the American government tremble because of Ford, General Motors, U.S. Steel, Standard Oil of New Jersey, the Pennsylvania Railroad and other mighty enterprises many of which have collapsed completely?
No. It is the opposite, the corporations tremble before the government regulators who have the power to tie them into knots. And their main response is not to fight but to flee abroad.
Oh, mighty General Motors saved by the great Obama (hooray! Hooray! For the great messiah of business) with billions of your taxpaying dollars in order to create employment…in China!
Do workers living in hovels fear the boss telling them they are now out of work with no unemployment or pension; that their hours are increased, that they are going to be thrown out of their company homes because they were ten minutes late at work?
No, it is the unions—at least where such things survive in the heavy industry—that have the whip hand. The government is 100 percent on their side.
Do the big-bellied capitalists blow cigar smoke into the faces of newspaper editors and threaten to cut off advertising unless scandals are covered up? No, it is the government's scandals that are covered up. And if anything the companies are made to face unfair charges.
The corporate executives want to look good. They want people to say and write nice things about them. They want to be regarded as good corporate citizens. They spend money running image ads about how they feed songbirds rather than on doing breakthrough research.
They can't even get oil-drilling going off most of the coast at a time when America has no energy independence, prices are sky high, and the economy needs a boost.
What is reality here? Yes, there were such times in America of bullying plutocratic greedy polluting capitalist super-villains but that just isn't 2012.
And yes, too, there was a time when some redistribution of wealth was needed. That was decades ago, too. Know why? Because working stiffs had to buy all those cars, toasters, refrigerators, and other consumer goods rolling out of the factories. That's why advertising was a good thing. That's why America flourished after World War Two.
Tell me, is America's problem today that there is a vast working class—even a vast poor class—that cannot buy cheap computers and expensive sports' shoes?
And finally don't forget small business, all those millions of people who aren't big moguls trying to make a living for themselves and their families and their employees.
What's essential here is this:
--It's not that the conservatives were always right and the evil liberal statists were destroying America.
--It's not that the liberals were always right and the evil, greedy moguls wanted everyone but themselves to be poor.
It's that American values work—some are liberal; some are conservative but they must work together to be productive, not based on looting, not based on a more and more powerful state; not based in regulating everyone to death, not based—although this sometimes happened wrongfully—on setting groups to hate each other.
You can put the emphasis on making the pie bigger while paying attention to a reasonably fair distribution or you can gobble it down as fast as possible and then complain there isn't any more.
The choice is yours, America. But for goodness sakes wake up and realize you're living in the twenty-first century, not the Victorian age of dark satanic mills and brutal capitalists who laugh while watching children starve. No, now we are in the age of power-hungry, ice-cold, detached-from-reality bureaucrats and those with graduate degrees who write reports and new rules while watching a civilization go down.

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there." --Francis Scott Key, "The Star-Spangled Banner"
Well, is it still there? Is it? Or has it been lowered over Fort McHenry? Have Baltimore and other American cities surrendered to blight, to an irreversible downward spiral? Is America going to go cheering into decline, praising itself for its environmental purity, high-mileage autos, pristine multicultural manners?
A few years ago I was on a book tour in Baltimore. They put me in a nice downtown hotel and I had some time before the evening event. So I decided to eat something at the coffee shop in the lobby. But it was a bit cool so I went upstairs to put on a jacket. When the elevator opened on the lobby the door was blocked by a gurney. Medics were wheeling out a dead body. Police guarded the entrance of the coffee shop, not letting anyone go in. Someone had been shot dead.
I went on to the bookstore and begged a sandwich there. Well, that's not fair to Baltimore, of course. But it's a true story. It is a wonderful city and fond to me for two reasons.
First, growing up in the artificial, tax-payer funded paradise—well, no, but that's another story—of Washington DC, for me Baltimore was the real America. A harbor, a real baseball team (postpone discussion of Washington Senators); industry and real workers, people who actually did something productive for a living. Not to mention Fort McHenry; and later the aquarium; the science museum; and the USS Torsk, a World War Two submarine that played a very important part in my life (that story for another time); the USS Constitution and the USS Constellation.
Second, I fell in love with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and industrial history. The B&O was American first railroad. Its task of crossing the mountains was so daunting that the history of the B&O is called Impossible Challenge. It was at the center of the Civil War and to this day I am editor of the Sentinel, the B&O Historical Society journal.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT. This article is my very angry equivalent of an indictment of contemporary "Progressive" "liberalism" and the greedy SOBs who are wrecking America as they sip cocktails like so many pre-revolutionary French aristocrats and sneer at the peasantry.
Al-Jazira, the revolutionary Islamist, anti-American, pro-terrorist television network (praised by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton!) has made a documentary on Baltimore. I haven't seen the documentary but I've been to Baltimore.
The theme is basically this: You Americans are a hypocritical joke. Your society is a wreck; you're going down and you dare preach to us about liberty and democracy! Look at Baltimore! Its industry is gone; its buildings are decaying; its street corners are full of African-American unemployed men with nothing to do with their lives.
And you dare preach to us?
You know what? Al-Jazira is right.
And what is America's first black president, a phony "community organizer" doing about it? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Hire more teachers and even more important more useless administrators. Save obscure fish. Make damn sure nobody explores for oil off the coast. Build high-speed rail nobody needs.
And what about rebuilding the cities? What about creating jobs? What about putting America back together again: Detroit, South Los Angeles, East St. Louis, and the list goes on. Here are the great heroes of the poor and downtrodden, with their John Kerry tax-cheating yachts; their Harry Reid corrupt land deals; their Nancy Pelosi multi-million-dollar vineyards; their destruction of the American auto industry, and the energy industry.
These people are not liberal heroes. They are reactionaries in disguise. They don't give a damn about the American people, including the poor, especially the poor. They are not lifting a finger to rebuild America, to save the country.
Now here are two novel ideas. First, this is not about liberals versus conservatives. That's all outdated. This is about those who want to build a productive America that can rebuild the cities and create jobs and those who profit from looting the productive sector until the camel's back breaks.
We are not talking about rich, fat-cat, greedy, arrogant and elitist conservatives. We are talking about rich, fat-cat, greedy, arrogant, and elitist radicals pretending to be liberals who care about the average American.
And I have a name for them: DINOs, Democrats in name only, and you can note the similarity to the word dinosaur.
Do you know what's really happened in America? Under the banner of humanitarianism it is an alliance of the worst political elements: the corrupt big city do-nothing, steal-,money political machines; the corrupted old-style good-government upper middle class movements; the do nothing in exchange for welfare lobby )with Obama having unilaterally eliminated workfare), and the crony capitalists who cannot make money on their own so have to loot it from the public trough.
And what is their solution to Baltimore and Detroit and the other urban blight? Not to increase productivity but to loot the suburbs to lower the entire country to a more minimal level. And this is what passes for compassionate liberalism?
Second, here's a novel idea for you. If you are looking for courageous "liberal" reformers, forget about this crew of poseurs and think of a couple of guys named Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. If you are a Democrat, if you are a liberal, if you really care about saving America from a long slow decline then think a moment: what's needed is real change, not phony slogans. People who know how to get things done; not how to tell pretty lies.
Think about it. This is going to be the most important political decision you ever make. Do it so there's some hope for change in Baltimore and everywhere else.

Given the various medications I an on, the need to hold down pieces of cotton stopping blood tests from leaking, etc, please forgive my typos
It is 301 pm and my eyes suddenly pop open right onto the clock. Looming above me is the chief thoracic surgeon who looks like an aging Green Bay Packers' linebacker about to sack a quarterback, me. Fortunately I already met him, respect and trust him. '"This is Dr ---" says the orderly "and he's going to remove your tube draining blood from your lung."
And remove it he does. His teeth are bared, he growls, his huge hands reach out and literally tear it out of me. It hurts but I must admit he is skillful and the pain is gone in seconds, before the sting ends he sews me up. The orderly puts on the gauze and for the first time I enjoy in three days the ultimate human luxury—not being tied to some piece of medical equipment bya tube. It Is heaven.
The staff is good, though not all charming. I don't like talking to doctors, they bring out the pessimism in me, even despair. I am kept on a steady line of safety and good advice thanks to my mother in law who is a lung expert, who has flown over from New York and keeps giving her calming professional opinion.
I quickly realize two things. First, most of us are years ot of date in our medical knowledge and thus don't realize how much progress has been made. My mother-in-law muses that her own father wrote a book about lung cancer 40 years ago.
And I ask, "There must have been a lot of progress since then?" "
"Oh no," she says, "there hasn't." My heart sinks. "But there's been incredible progress in the last 5-10 years."
The other is that the best intended doctors often don't know what they are talking about outside their own speciality. My two thoracic surgeons overruled my two general internalists and proved to be 100 percent right. On the other hand, those two internests did save my life so I am grateful to them also.
The great weakness of the Israel system—and it has many strengths far beyond the British and the American—is going from the level of general practitioner to specialist. When I f irst made my lung doctor appointment it was supposed to take one month off. That might have killed me. I went to my wife's doctor and he had me in the emergency room within 3 hours getting proper treatment. The women doctor from the health fund was wonderful getting me fast appointments, too.
I am not joking: your life in future may depend on getting rid of Obamacare. The Israeli system has reasonable prices but of course it is also small enough to be managed and not so easy to abuse. Yes there are incompetents, indifferent personnel, and worse hospitals, too but Ichilov—despite the often callous night floor staff--is the only hospital I'd want to be in. And many of the most talented of these doctors and others left the USSR because they just weren't welcome there.
It's also only the hospital where they start asking you about contemporary Middle East developments while treating you. I have great genealogy discussions with some medical personnel about our ancestors. And for the multiculturalist fans, at least three of the kindest technicians were Arabs--two men with crosses and a woman with a hijab, perhaps more I don't know.
Mr Ibrahim my neighbor to the right is a real gentleman. Born in Istanbul of an Ashkenazic family he is a lean distinguished gentleman perhaps in his early 80s. He went to French schools during Istanbul's golden age and speaks Ladino- fifteenth-century Judeo-Spanish--native-level Turkish, perfect English, beautiful French and not one word—not one—of Hebrew. They moved him next to me so I could translate for him. He never loses his cool or dignity. He tells me his life story. His father had a good American appliance franchise which he inherited. He loves Turkey--but with no illusions about its current rulers--and he has many Turkish friends. But one day he realized his family had no future there so they came to the land of Israel.
His two happily married beautiful daughters obviously dote on him. He had fallen in his garden but is released after a few days. W find we know people and event s in common since I wrote a book about Istanbul. One night I read him to sleep with passages about the labor battalions where Turkish Jews, Armenians and Greeks were looted and forcibly sent during World War Two into virtual concentration camps, first-person accounts his own father had never told him. I also tell him about the secret Jewish museum in Istanbul, built since he left, which he had never seen. Soon he is released.
My other neighbor is Mr. Meir, another fine gentlemen—these men only a decade older than me have such wonderful manners. How much we have lost! He was born in Casabalanca and he speaks Arabic, French, and Hebrew with equal facility. He offers me a cup of tea which I find touching but fear the hot drink. He, too, is surrounded by his loving family. He tells me a story that makes me sob a moment. I ask when he arrived in Israel. As a refugee, he responds, in the week of his bar mitzah. And the first thing he did was to celebrate his bar mitzvah here. My son is so to celebrate his bar mitzvah this week and I fear I will not be there. Yet I find something g comforting in the coincidental symbolism.
He too is released.
Then comes the ordeal. A very elderly man is brought into my left side. He is tall and spare, wearing a narrow black silk skullcap, looking every inch like a Biblical portrait of Abraham, so straight and stiff as to resemble a human log. All night long he moans, piteously, he recounts the story of his life, a few words at a time, his daughters and perhaps sons in law or sons gather around, they respond back, praising him for an incident, expressing their love, begging his pardon.
"No, we love you, father," they say. You could not have been better to us. We are so grateful to you!" On and on, hour and hour it goes as he mumbles a paragraph and then another. I listen fascinated, harrowed by every word, my double-sleeping pill has no effect at all. Finally, at midnight all leave, long before the visiting hours end though no one dare ask them to leave. But one fateful young religiously garbed daughter remains to tend him all night. She wears the hairnet covering of the religious. Her face is ravaged with sadness.
The entire century of a family is laid out before my unwilling ears. It breaks my heart but there is something inspiring in it,, something of the essence of life beyond all the foolishness and externals which we divert ourselves. Only family matters; only love matters; only good deeds matter. I finally can forebear no more and go around the curtain and I address the young hollow-eyed daughter the traditional Hebrew words of hope for the mercy of the Creator of the Universe, for full healing, and for a miracle.
But I see by the look of hopelessness in her eye, even her deeply religious, believing with a perfect faith eye, that no miracle is expected here. I fall asleep. Three hours later I awake briefly and hear him still mumbling.
Again, I fall asleep and when I wake up ten hours later he is gone. She is gone. And someone else is in his place. May the creator of the universe comfort this fine man's family and bring him his true reward for having lived such a good life.
My eyes open precisely onto the clock on the wall opposite me. It is 3:01 PM. The two giant men loom above me, "This is your thoracic surgeon," says the mighty orderly. Rip, tear, and the hole in my side is healed. But the holes in our hearts, the pain in our souls are not so easily remedied.
A few minutes later they take me down to the Catscan. I wait for the results as they confer, begging for the half-dozen conferring doctors to just give me one sentence of summary. The kindly deputy director--a wonderfully decent man--looks at me a mment, says, "You are much better now""and returns to the conference. Frustrated, I fall asleep. Three hours later my wife wakes me. They cannot find any more damage, she explains. Just the tumor on the lung, the emptied out blood, the scar tissue.
After a bit of bureaucracy, the kind desk nurse holds up a brown envelope. You can go home, she explains. Come back each week for an x-ray. Begin your therapy. I can barely walk but my wife helps me down the hall, into a wheelchair, out the door, and into the ever startlingly bright Tel Aviv sunshine. Myself, Mr. Meir, and Mr. Ibrahim have been given another chance to go into the world and do some good, to do some right. Mr. "Abraham" is on his way to somewhere else, somewhere better I hope where he will reap the reward of his long life of good deeds.
They release me to go home, rest, and begin my therapy. Thanks to our Creator for our lives and thanks to our Creator for the chances we are given--often more than we merit--to transcend those lives by good deeds, integrity, solidarity with those who stand for the just and the free, and love for our fellows. This is not about fame, this is not about wealth, this is not about power. It is about how--or whether--at the end those who know us best love us best. I am back at my desk and I will continue to do my best to serve you.

A short history of democracy in Egypt. In February 2011 the Mubarak regime fell. There was going to be a parliament elected in Egypt. The parliament was elected. Its election was invalidated. Today there is no parliament in Egypt.
The Muslim Brotherhood said it would want to run one-third of the candidates for seats. Then they ran one-half. Then they ran all. Then they said they would not run a president. Then they did and elected a president. And they and the Salafists elected 70 percent of the parliament. But now there is no parliament.
The Parliament was going to pick a constituent assembly but to write a Constitution. But now there is no Constitution. There are no restrictions on presidential powers.
And then there was a Supreme Council of the Armed Forces but that was supposed to restrain the Muslim Brotherhood president. And it was supposed to be restrained by the Egypt-Israel peace treaty and by the hope of getting U.S. military aid. But the president got rid of it and fired the two top people and put in his own generals. And there is no restraint.
And we were told that the Egyptian government had promised to adhere to the Egypt-Israel peace treaty. But when it wished the regime simply violated the treaty and sent forces into the eastern Sinai. And it announced an alliance with Hamas which openly declared its desire to go to war with Israel and destroy it. And Cairo did not demur.
The Egyptian regime did more economic damage to Israel by violating its contract on natural gas shipments than any other Arab regime in the history of the country because Israel had to spend billions of dollars replacing that lost fuel. That is why Israeli taxes are going up and social spending must decline. The U.S. government did not lift a finger to help.
The entire Israeli strategic plan has had to be altered to add an entire new defensive front along the border with Egypt. New units will be organized; new fences built; new equipment ordered and paid for.
Saaed Eddin Ibrahim, arguably the Arab world's leading sociologist and certainly the leading advocate of liberal-Islamist alliance against the old Arab military regimes has now totally changed sides, warning that the Islamists want to hijack power and establish dictatorships. He pleads for Westerners to wake up.
Egyptian President al-Mursi has now named the heads of the main Egyptian newspapers, radio stations, and television networks. They include sleaze balls that sold out to the Mubarak regime and will do whatever he tells them and supporters of Islamism. The first round-ups have begun of reporters who are to bold and honest in their investigations. The walls are closing in.
Soon the generals will be replaced; soon the judges will be replaced, and so too will the diplomats. In other words, the internal and external bureaucracy of Egypt's government will become transformed. The old national security considerations will change.
The next stop is the court system where plans are being made already to eliminate judges. True, there were many corrupt jurists but there was no institution in Egypt where there were more courageous individuals and advocates of democracy. But that's the problem. The very integrity that made these e men stand up against Mubarak will make them do the same against the Brotherhood and they will not enforce Sharia law. Their vote against the parliamentary result was a warning. They will soon be ousted.
An upcoming conference of pro-Islamist judges will recommend massive retirements; the new constitution, written by Islamists, will weaken the courts against Sharia as interpreted by Islamic clerics. The Brotherhood will take over al-Azhar University and appoint one of its men as chief qadi, Muslim judicial official. They will get into control of the wealth religious endowments. Within a year, Egypt will be fundamentally transformed. Irretrievably transformed.
Considers what this means in foreign policy.
Current Egyptian Strategic Assessment (End of Mubarak Regime) Main threat: Revolutionary Islamism in the form of Muslim Brotherhood, Salafists, al-Qaida, and Hizballah.
MAIN THREAT end 2012): ISRAEL, MODERATE ARAB STATES.
Competing local leadership 2011: Shia Islamism in form of Iran-led alliance, including Syria and Hizballah
Competing local leadership 2012: COMPETING SHIA ISLAMISTS IN HIZBALLAH, SYRIAN REGIME, IRAN, TO SOME EXTENT IN IRAQ AND BAHRAIN
--Arab allies 2011: Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Egypt wanted to help against Iran and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood.
ARAB ALLIES 2012: HAMAS, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN JORDAN, SYRIA, TUNISIA, LIBYA, ETC. Will get along with Saudis if give money and don't interfere.
--Israel 2011: Dislikes but understands shares common interests in battling Islamists of both Brotherhood-Hamas and Iran-Syria varieties as well as al-Qaida. Keep Hamas under control to avoid war and violence along border.
ISRAEL 2012: WIPE OFF MAP POSSIBLY INCLUDING WAR BUT CERTAINLY SUBVERSION AND TERRORISM CAN BE USED AGAINST IT; ALL ISLAMIST AND ARAB FORCES SHOULD BE MOBILIZED; AND ANY NEGOTIATED SOLUTION BLOCKED
Overall posture 2011: Minimize Egypt's role in regional affairs to be left alone and focus on survival and development.
Overall posture 2012: Maximize Egypt's internal transformation into an Islamist state and change of all institutions including army. Take leadership over Gaza. Tunisia. If possible Libya, be senior partner to Syria Islamist regime. Brush aside Turkish influence. Minimize Iranian influence in Arab and Sunni spheres.
U.S. 2011: Though will us ant9American demagoguery periodically the alliance with America is important as source of military, economic, and strategic support. They have common friends, enemies, and common goals, seek regional stability and defeat of radical forces.
U.S. 2012: Get along with U.S. if low cost and can get aid easily but don't let Washington get away with interfering with regime goals. Reduce U.S. influence in Egypt and demonize those friendly to America. Undercut U.S.-Israel cooperation. Subvert remaining U.S. ales. Defy U.S. on Gaza.

Syracuse football is looking to upgrade facilities, build around Manley Field House - Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician
Syracuse is once again about to change the architecture of and around Manley Field House
By Andrew Pregler@acpregler Jan 11, 2022, 10:00am EST
Share All sharing options for: Syracuse football is looking to upgrade facilities, but will it change anything?
The Syracuse Orange football program is not the richest program in college football. We've heard journalists report things to that effect, and the lack of ticket revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly impacted all Syracuse University departments. However, with things getting back to normal this season, it seems that the money is flowing back to the Orange enough that there are new long term (expensive) plans to improve the football facilities at Syracuse, according to Syracuse.com. (Subscription required)
Syracuse's plan to upgrade athletics facilities includes new 51,000-square foot football building | https://t.co/qkrh4DHCHN
— Syracuse Football (@syrfootball) January 10, 2022
The story is a subscriber exclusive, so we aren't going to pull out the specifics of the plan here. What you need to know is that the football space attached to Manley Field House is going to expand, as well as the Ensley Athletic Center, which was just erected in 2014.
We know that Clemson, Florida State, and North Carolina have football complexes far above what Syracuse offers. The arms race that is Division I facilities never stops, and the Seminoles are ready to upgrade. But for the Orange, without serious finical windfalls, the money to upgrade the Athletics facilities has been funneled into (much needed) improvements of the Carrier Dome. This plan set forward is promising, but not to move the Orange into the top of the ACC: it's to keep up with the rest of Syracuse's peers.
Virginia just unveiled their new master plan for campus improvements, which includes a new stand alone football facility. Wake Forest just announced plans for a new $38 million football facility, Boston College just opened a new field house in 2018, and Pitt famously gets to share a facility with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I could keep going, but having been able to personally visit the campuses and facilities of Duke, North Carolina State, Cincinnati, and Virginia Tech, what the Orange offers (which I've also been able to tour) pales in comparison to most peer programs.
It's not a new development; one of the criticisms of Ensley was that it was a bandaid on what needed to be an overhaul of the football space. Football alumni have not been shy to voice these concerns, and it seems that Syracuse, under new fundraising leadership, is taking a more long term look at what can be done to keep the school competitive with their ACC peers.
We've seen that the Orange have amped up fundraising under Wildhack, and it seems that we now know what they're driving towards.

Minis Like Dust: February 2010
Project: 1/1000 Refit Enterprise
The Enterprise has been an iconic image within the Science Fiction genre for decades. There have been many variants of the ship, from toys to model kits, and while all these attempts have been worthy in one form or another, the new Polar Lights (a sub brand of Round 2, specializing in Sci-fi, monster kits and the like, in the tradition of the old Aurora model company) goes into a league of its own. There really hasn't been a good quality mid-scale kit of the refit version of the ship in styrene, with Polar Lights 1/350 scale kit clearly on the large end, while a small scale (1/2500) version was included in the 3-ship Enterprise set (including the Original version, as well as the -D version from Next Generation). There was of course the old AMT/Ertl 1/537 scale kit, but it was in an odd scale ("box" scale, or scaled to be of sufficient size to fit in a standard sized box), as well as having a lot of questionable details.
Polar Lights had put out a snap-tite kit of the Original series Enterprise, as well as a Klingon D-7, and launched the new 1/1000 scale (a nice compromise between size and detail). Both were received positively, not just because of their quality, but also because of their abandonment of the dreaded box scale. This gave SF modelers the feeling that they were finally a "respected" branch of the hobby (military, naval, and auto modeling branches had abandoned "box" scale sometime in the early '60s). Alas there were road blocks in the way: Polar Lights, which had aquired Ertl/AMT along with their collectable car lines, was aquired by Racing Champions, which had little interest in the injection molded SF kit industry, so the lines were cancelled and all of the classic Trek kits (along with a fair number of classic Star Wars kits as well) languished while RC concentrated on NASCAR collectable toys.
Hope emerged from Round2, aquiring a lot of the classic AMT and PL molds, and now producing kits of their own.
The new Polar Lights kit has been much anticipated, and not just by me. 1/1000 is close to being a "perfect" scale: big enough to hold good detail, but small enough that you can have an actual collection.
Comparisons to the old Original fit of the Enterprise that had been released previously is natural. Although the Refit kit is a "snap-tite" kit, there has been no real compromise in detail, and in terms of construction is significantly better than the old kit, but with a similar number of options. Like the original kit, it uses an extensive amount of transparent parts, a nod to those that with to light up their kits. In addition construction is logical and almost effortless. This is the single best kit of the Enterprise on the market today in the "mid-range" scale, and far better than the old AMT kit.
Surface detail remains very good, and a respectable representation can be made from the kit.
The biggest surprise -- a welcome one -- is the extensive decal sheet. Aimed at aiding modelers in portraying the correct "aztec" pattern of hull paneling, it represents these patterns as conventional water-transfer decals. While not an original method (aftermarket manufacturers have done something similar in the past), this is the first commercal kit to my knowledge that adds this feature. All of this comes on a set of three decal sheets!
If you could buy only one Trek model, this definitely should be it!

Project: 1/48 Jagdpanzer 38(t) "Hetzer" Progress.
Here's the progress on the Hetzer. As can be seen, major assembly is mostly done, and I've applied the first basecoat of Dark Yellow. In the background can be seen one of the camouflage schemes, a pattern often referred to as "Ambush." It consisted of alternating bands of Dark Yellow, Red-brown and Green, with dots of the other two colors on each segment (thus, the dark yellow segments would have dots of red-brown and green). This scheme was factory applied, and while it is very popular among modelers and wargamers, it was also fairly short lived, only applied during the Autumn of 1944, per all of my references.
As can be seen, the tracks and suspension have been fully assembled and "primed" black. I normally do not prime the model (or, if I do -- such as if the plastic is very dissimilar from the final vehicle color -- I usually use a neutral gray tone), tracks require a great deal of weathering. What I will do is paint and weather the tracks, then hand paint the wheels.

Project: KV-1 w/Applique Armor Progress
As can be seen, this model is almost done! Not much more needs to be done, except attach the return rollers above the suspension, paint the machine guns (2, one in the hull seen in the foreground, as well as a second in the rear of the turret), and finally the exhausts. On tanks like the KV-1, the exhausts quickly weathered due to engine heat and the fact that they are constructed of less durable sheet metal. Although there are a lot of different rust effects you can do with paint, I'm planning on picking up a set of Rustall, to get an authentic rust effect on the exhuasts. It will be the first time using this product, and I look forward to it.

Project: 1/48 KV-1 w/Applique Armor
When the Germans invaded the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941, despite the massive successes and battles-of-encirclement that occurred, there were nonetheless a few nasty surprises for them. One of which was the KV-1, a tank (along with the T-34) the Germans had no knowledge of before Operation Barbarossa.
A heavy tank, the KV-1 featured very heavy armor and a 76.2mm cannon in a fully rotating turret. Initial versions, like the T-34, mounted the 76.2mm L/35 L-11 cannon, with poor performance, but was later fitted with the 76.2mm L/40 F-34 cannon of much better performance.
This model depicts the latter, also with the addition of "Applique" supplemental armor around the turret and hull sides. A brutal weapon system, engage-able only through air-power or heavy anti-tank guns (such as the dual-role 88mm FlaK-18 or FlaK-36), this tank as well as its stablemate were ineffectively employed by a Soviet Army that had been gutted by Stalin's purges of the 1930's. Through superior tactics, the Germans managed to cope with this weapon.
Tamiya continues with it's 1/48 line, and like many of the other kits in this range, the KV-1 continues to feature a die-cast hull. This time, it is a bit better than many of the others, with decent detail. However, it still suffers from fixed torsion bars, limiting detail and modeler choices. As usual the tracks are of the "link-n-length" style, and are well molded.
I don't have a lot of Soviet tanks, and this is the first KV-1 in my collection. Nonetheless, it should look suitably impressive next to its German contemporaries, such as the early Panzer IIIs or IVs, or the Panzer 38(t)!
Project: 1/48 Jagdpanzer 38(t) "Hetzer"
As the war began to turn against Germany in 1943, a number of new weapon systems were developed by the Germans. One of these was the Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer, a lightweight assault gun/tank destroyer on the proven and reliable Panzer (38(t) chassis (in fact, a pre-war Czech design). It mounted the 75mm L/48 PaK 39 cannon in a limited traverse mounting, supplemented with a remote-control MG-34 machine gun. Although lightly armored for the standards of the day (50mm sloped), it was a rugged, successful design that survived post-war in Swiss service as the G-13.
Tamiya released the Hetzer kit early on, and still remains one of the better kits in the range. While still saddled with the cast metal lower hull, the detail is overall good, and at the time was the only Hetzer you could buy from Tamiya (later they would release a 1/35 scale version). Like most Tamiya 1/48 scale kits, it also has very well rendered "link-n-length) tracks in hard plastic. For some models, this is unneccessary (particularly US tanks which use "live" tracks), but on vehicles such as the ones used by the Germans, there should be a lot of sag, and that is well molded in this kit.
Although this is labeled as a "mid-production" variant, there are already after-market vendors offering conversions to later or earlier variants.
While the Germans manufactured a lot of equipment of questionable efficiency, the Hetzer is not one of them, and remained an effective vehicle throughout the war.

Post On Last-Minute Tax Filing Tips for San Francisco Released by Safe Harbor LLP, San Francisco's Top CPA Firm
Safe Harbor LLP is a top San Francisco CPA firm. While the firm works hard with existing clients to avoid last-minute individual tax filings, the firm announces its final post on last-minute tax filing tips for San Franciscans.
Tax deadline is April 15, 2014, so we are issuing our final tax tips.
Safe Harbor LLP (http://www.safeharborcpa.com/), a top San Francisco tax service, has published its final informative post on tips for selecting a last-minute tax service in San Francisco. The accounting firm specializes in business taxes as well as tax preparation for high income individuals, including those with international tax needs.
"For our existing tax clients, our goal is always to be prepared well ahead of the official tax deadlines," explained Chun Wong, CPA, managing partner at Safe Harbor LLP. "However, we felt it useful to reach out to last-minute tax filers with some informative tax tips for last-minute filings in San Francisco."
To read the post on '4 Last-Minute Tax Filing and Extension Tips for San Franciscan,' please visit http://www.safeharborcpa.com/?p=3287.
The official IRS deadline for individual tax returns, of course, is April 15, 2014. Most individuals realize that they not only need to file their state and Federal tax forms by that date, but that they should start preparations for their taxes in advance. In addition, bookkeeping and other issues need to be conducted, if possible, well in advance of that tax deadline. That said, last-minute filing issues do occur for individuals. Therefore, Safe Harbor LLP has initiated these steps in its 'rapid response' system for last-minute individual tax filers.

Don't sever ties with distant grandson
Monday, June 25, 2012, 2:00 AM
DEAR AMY: I'm a 74-year-old grandfather with a 20-year-old grandson who lives more than 800 miles away. At the urging of his mother, I started a Facebook account and tried to connect with my grandson. He didn't seem to appreciate it. In fact, he called it "horrible." My wife and I have tried repeatedly to make contact with him through our daughter and by making the 800-mile trip to see him, but it has resulted in zero response. During our most recent visit, my wife and I both told him he mattered a great deal to us and that it was important to stay in touch. That was a couple of years ago, and so far we haven't heard a thing, although my wife has sent him Christmas and birthday cards. Over the years, we have consistently showed him love and support, and the response has been zero. He accepts money and gifts but can't seem to say thanks or acknowledge us in any way. Now this young man is getting ready to deploy overseas with his Marine reserve unit, and my wife wants to try again by going to his town and wishing him well. I'm a Vietnam vet, so the word "deployment" means something to me, but I've had enough of this jerk, and it seems like a long trip for nothing, and I don't want to go with her. Any advice? -- Disgruntled Gramps DEAR GRAMPS: Many 20-year-olds simply don't have the maturity to understand how important it is to connect -- especially with people they don't have much contact with. I urge you to take the opportunity to see your grandson before he leaves home. Give him a photo or another small material reminder of your time in Vietnam. As a veteran yourself, you and your grandson will forever share a bond of service. He doesn't realize this now, but he will -- and you want to be in his life when he arrives at this moment. So keep those cards and letters coming. I can imagine this young man overseas, alone and homesick and aware to some extent that he has been a jerk to some of the people who love him. I see a bundle of cards and letters tied together with a rubber band and stuffed in the bottom of his duffel bag. Your grandson may not find a way to express his gratitude until he is much more mature. DEAR AMY: My husband and I live in Oregon, where it is legal to smoke marijuana for medical reasons. We have lived in our house for years. Recently, new neighbours moved in next door. They are a very nice retired couple in their 60s. The problem we have is that they smoke marijuana in their backyard and the smoke drifts not only into our yard and patio but also into our home. With warmer weather here, I can't stand the thought of having to smell that smoke all summer. A few weeks ago, we had friends over and they commented on the smell. I do not have an issue if they want to smoke marijuana, I just don't want to smell it all the time. I also do not want to offend our new neighbours. Any ideas? -- Smoked Out DEAR SMOKED: Marijuana has a distinctive, pungent smell, but your approach should be the same regardless of the source of the smoke. It is completely reasonable for you to say, "Is there something you could do differently so we wouldn't have so much smoke drifting toward and into our house?" They (or you) may have some success in directing the smoke away from your home by running a fan outside. DEAR AMY: "Want to Help" was a hiring manager wondering if he/she should give an applicant unsolicited help with an "atrocious" resume. Many years ago, I sent out my first resume. It was sent back to me. It had been corrected with red ink like a school paper. Needless to say, I worked a lot harder on the next one. -- Gainfully Employed DEAR EMPLOYED: The person did you a big favour, and you were smart enough to realize it. You have read 1 of 10 complementary Sun+ articles

We need a logo before anything.
My idea, if only I could draw… a burning black heart (similar to Davey's heart tattoo with the letters DF (maybe). Although it might look better as just a burning black heart. The DF logo is a blackheart with wings, skull, etc.

One of the things I adore most about the paper crafting community is the way they support each other. We have an industry that is trying it's hardest to make room for everyone at the paper crafting table! I adore all the creative ladies and gentlemen cheering each other on. Today's card used a digital stamp by Angie Bloom Design. Angie has such a beautiful soul and I am very happy to be sharing my first ever digital stamp creation with one of her stamps. I'll be real honest with you, I have resisted the idea of digital stamp for a very long time. I don't really enjoy computers so they were very intimidating to me. That being said, after reading one or two blog posts about how to use digital stamps I was on my way. The process can be as easy or as complicated as you would like. Of course, not being a computer person I chose the easy route. The second reason is for me there just nothing compared to when a red rubber stamp meets the paper! What an experience. There's just nothing like it! Angie also designs for Unity Stamps and over the years I have pickup several of her red rubber stamp designs. But, recently I had noticed she has several just absolutely adorable stamps available as digital stamps and I decided this was a beautiful lady I wanted to support!
Heart Hands really spoke to me as a beautiful stamp that would be perfect for me to practice my skills at coloring skin tones.
Hart Hands Digital stamp by Angie Blom Designs
Is that not just beautiful! I love all the details that Angie has added with the rings, jewelry, and watch. Each hand uniquely different coming together to make a beautiful heart. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a huge fan of hearts on everything. I do though appreciate it when used in beauty. I think sometimes an image can be overused and it loses its meaning. We don't really think about what that image is truly saying cause we are used to seeing it. The heat is one of those images for me.
I started off thinking this was just going to be an alcohol ink marker practice. I set out coloring each hand.
The second step was to color the heart. The third step was to color in around the hands, as I need practice making smooth backgrounds with alcohol markers.
After trying several different dies, I decided on this wonky square die from My Favorite Things. The only problem was the way I had colored the background a bunch of white was going to show where each arm ended.
I decided to trace the outside edge of the die lightly with a pencil. Then extend each arm with a Copic fine liner. I still don't know what to do. Was I going back and trying to fix the coloring down each arm. That seemed overwhelming to me. That's when I decided to give each lady a simple shirt sleeve
The card base is 110 pound Nina solar white.
The layers are all from Concord and 9th poppy, aqua sky, oceanside, and peacock
The stamped image was printed on Stampin' Up! whisper white
The card was finished with a sentiment fro a Kristina Warner set, tinny words at Simone Says Stamp. This stamp set just stays on my workspace I use it so much!
If you are intimated by digital stamps don't be! My main concern was if the printer ink would smear. Which was not a problem at all! My particular ink worked just fine with my alcohol markers! Go check out Angie Blom Designs
I have no affiliation with Angie Blom Designs nor with Unity Stamps. I just enjoy sharing with you guys the stamps I am loving in my craft room!
