FIG. 2 shows in a block diagram the details of the arrangement of the image outputting apparatus which is arranged as the first embodiment of this invention. As shown, in the image outputting apparatus, a video tape 22 is controlled to be transported at a normal travel speed (�1) from the beginning by a tape driving part 11. An image signal reproduced by the magnetic head 12 is processed in a predetermined manner at a reproduction process circuit 13. A control part 15 then controls a field memory 14 to store the processed image signal therein at a point of time �0� which is shown by a dashed line in FIG. 4.
As for the picture No. 0 which is a larger picture is printed in the following manner. An upper half part of the picture No. 0 is first printed by a first scan in the direction of x axis. The printing paper is then fed in the direction of y axis by an amount yo. The lower half part of the picture No. 0 is printed by a second scan in the x axis direction to complete the printing. For the purpose of visually grasping in outline the contents of records provided on the tape 22, an index print is prepared, for example, in a manner as described below. Procedures for preparation of the above-stated index print are described here on the assumption that a video tape to be used is arranged to permit recording video images for a period of 120 minutes. An image in the leader part of the tape 22 is first printed in an area No. 0 as a title picture. The title of the tape cassette is printed, if necessary, within a margin available on the right hand side of the title picture. Next, the tape 22 is transported as much as a predetermined amount and, a picture is printed as a picture No. 1. After that, one picture is printed every time the tape 22 is transported by the same predetermined amount. Assuming that the predetermined amount of tape transportation corresponds, for example, to five minutes (an amount of 300 fields according to the NTSC system), the tape 22 comes to a position where 30 minutes has elapsed when a picture No. 6 is printed. Then, �0:30� is printed below the picture No. 6 (at the bottom of the first column) to indicate the lapse of 30 minutes, as shown in FIG. 3.
After that, the ink head 18 is moved to a datum printing position for the second column. The pictures from No. 7 to No. 12 are then printed with �1:00� printed below the picture No. 12 to indicate the lapse of one hour. The process of printing-is carried on in the same manner for the third column and also for other subsequent columns.
Next, upon detection of an unrecorded tape part, a picture obtained at the end of 98 minutes is printed as a picture No. 20. Words �END TIME 98 MIN� is then printed below the picture No. 20.
FIG. 4 shows the timing of movement of the tape 22, the ink head 18 and the printing paper 21. Referring to FIG. 4, the upper part thereof shows tape feeding speeds. An axis of ordinate indicates a speed �1� which is assumed to be a normal reproduction speed and a maximum speed �30� which is assumed to be 30 times as fast as the normal reproduction speed and to be used for fast tape feeding. An axis of abscissa indicates a time base.
In the first place, at a step S101, a switch 24 is connected to a terminal �a�. The printing paper is supplied at the step S1. The flow of operation comes to the step S2 to set the ink head 18 at the printing area. At the step S3, the control part 15 makes a check to find if the tape 22 is at its leader part. If not, the control part 15 causes the tape 22 to be rewound up to the leader part. If so, the flow comes to the step S5 to perform control for normal reproduction without rewinding the tape 22.
At a step S102, a reproduced digital image signal for one picture is outputted and supplied, in a state of being compressed and coded, to the memory 14 via a delay circuit 26 which is arranged to have a delay time as will be described later herein. The digital signal is written into the memory 14. At a step S103, upon completion of writing, the switch 24 is connected to another terminal �b�. At a step S104, the image signal is read out from the memory 14. At a step S105, an expanding and decoding circuit 25 expands and decodes the compressed and coded image signal read out from the memory 14. The image signal thus processed is supplied to the conversion process circuit 16. The control part 15 is arranged to have the image signal stored in the memory 14 continuously rewritten until it is detected that no more image signal is recorded on the tape 22 as will be described later.
Upon completion of writing the digital image signal for one picture into the memory 14, the control part 15 causes the tape 22 to begin to be transported. Then, at a step S106, upon completion of the expanding and decoding process on the image signal read out from the memory 14, the switch 24 is connected to the terminal �a�. Then, a search reproduction process is performed by fast feeding the tape 22 at the step S7.
At a step S109, the switch 24 is connected to the terminal �b�. At a step S110, the image signal for one picture is read out from the memory 14. At a step S111, the image signal thus read out is decoded by the expanding and decoding circuit 25. The decoded image signal is supplied to the conversion process circuit 16. Further, after completion of writing the image signal for the last picture into the memory 14, the control part 15 performs control to rewind the tape 22 at the step S15.

NAT gateway related issues with TLS
Has anybody else noticed a problem with CE nstances that route through a NAT gateway and TLS? We're trying to retrieve a file from another project via curl using TLS, and randomly get interrupted connection. The remote server we're retrieving the file from is the latest Google CE version of CentOS 7, and the instances behind the NAT gateways attempting to retrieve the file are using the latest Google CE of Debian 9.
The error we see when the server terminates the connection:
We've not made any changes to the VPC recently, and this only seems to have become a problem within the last week or so - prior to this, everything was working fine. We can grab the file just fine from the NAT gateway itself (and we can reproduce this across three environments that were set-up the same way), but it's the instances behind the NAT gateway that experience the problem. Routing appears to be fine in all respects.
What do you mean by ‘grab the file from the NAT gateway itself’? It isn’t the Cloud NAT service then, is it?
Using curl on the NAT gateway to download the file. Doing the same on the machines behind the NAT gateway result in random disconnections when using TLS.
So what kind of NAT gateways are these? GCP doesn’t have anything that you can ssh into.
One instance reserved as a NAT gateway. In any event, we've figured out the issue appears to be related to bandwidth. We've temporarily got around the problem by restricting the bandwidth curl uses. Wondering if Google has been messing around with TCP window sizes of late.

It’s Westworld VFX Supervisor Jay Worth, Ask Me Anything!
u/jaythevfxguy
Yeah, I mean that’s kind of apples to oranges. You’re talking about transcoding footing (using a GPU to change the format basically) vs actually generating full images from nothing where the CPU has to calculate how complex lighting is influencing shaders on very heavy geometry.
12 hours a frame is pretty optimized. Places like WETA will do even more complex models than we do and often have 48 hour frame averages for their feature work.
What's the main renderer used these days? Back in my day, it was exclusively Renderman, but I do hear that there is, at last, some decent competition.
Not op but I work at a large VFX studio.
Our main machines are 40 core xenon servers with 128 GB of ram. Most have very low end GPUs because our primary render engine uses CPUs, not GPUs. we have around 100 dedicated GPU render machines with high end Quattro cards for GPU renders.
If I remember correctly we have around 30,000 machines on our farm. It sounds like a lot but often we actually don’t have enough machines for our render needs when we’re doing large features and have to rent more to meet our render needs.
Does your studio allow renders to spill over to workstations that are not being used? 30,000 machines or CPU cores? If 30,000 machines, how many cores per machine? And have they embraced the cloud yet? A few companies have, but obviously with that brings a whole new set of challenges! Alas, I left the VFX industry just when that was getting really interesting...
How Much Of Fiona Was Actually A Robot?
As already mentioned, Eric Allard has a credit as a puppeteer. Yet he is also a creature/robotics effects artist (see https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0020063/ - it also shows him as a puppeteer for this episode under Miscellaneous Crew). For anybody who ever watched Short Circuit, Johnny Five was created by Eric and his effects team. He's also created animatronic puppets for Teenage Mutant Turtles (from the second film after the Jim Henson Creature Shop produced creatures) and many more.

"Nice, Clean, Comfortable Hotel With A Stellar Staff"
"I'm a bit confused by other's negative comments. My room as clean, comfortable and well appointed. I appreciated the fact that the heater/air conditioner was not one of those which turned on and off all night. ( I have trouble staying asleep with one of those) Their business center was comfortable a..."nd easy to use and the wifi in the rooms is free. The lobby/lounge area is warm and comfortable and the fireplace offered a nice respite from the cold wind outside.
The bistro offered a decent breakfast selection and my choices were cooked perfectly to my order specifications.
The great staff were the type of folks I wished worked EVERY place I stay. They were all efficient, professional, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the area. Kudos to this General Manager for assembling such a fine team.
My current business plans include a number trips to the area and I plan to stay at this property each time.
More > Pheasant Run Resort and Convention Center
"I was here for an international conference and stayed four days. Good breakfast, large enough standard rooms, and most importantly for me it is quiet. From Chicago airport, it took a little more than half an hour drive for $50 in a rented limo. If there will be another opportunity back to the same a..."rea, I would gladly stay in this hotel again.

"I appreciate all the remodeling improvements. The rooms are beautiful and we really like the suites for traveling with friends or family. Special thanks to Amanda who checked us in very efficiently, and Michelle who was so pleasant the next morning."

Today I want to document that it is a Sunday. I have this Sunday off. I have weekends off again. I left Howard Johnson Inn of Ocala, and my personal peace has been sky-rocketing since doing so. I went back to an old job where the job is bland, but I have a greater appreciation for it.
And it gives us the weekend off, meaning that I’m going to be enjoying the Farmer’s Market more often, enjoying seeing my family more often, and sleeping in on Sundays.
My boyfriend and our family went to Ormond Beach today. It was glorious. I am redder than a clown’s nose and we are all now sitting on the couch, waiting to make dinner at a reasonable hour, and preparing to watch a movie later.
I just simply wanted to take the time and state that I am so happy today. I feel so full today. I’m humbled by the remarkable thing that is life. For the remarkable abilities we all have to take advantage of life. I love life.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS, IF ANY Applicant claims priority based on Provisional Patent Application No. 60/824,127, filed Aug. 31, 2006.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed toward a trailer hitch receiver box comprising a trailer hitch receiver tube adapted to receive a hitch bar and having a notch, and a lip mounted to the receiver tube, the lip having a tab positioned within the notch.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring now to the Figures, a receiver box according to the present invention is generally depicted with reference to numeral 20. In one aspect, box 20 includes a trailer hitch receiver tube 22, and a lip 24.
Tube 22 includes a hollow tubular member 23 which contains features generally of a type known in the hitch industry. Tubular member 23 is adapted to receive a hitch bar (hitch bar not shown). Tubular member 23 may be made of shaped steel and typically includes four sides 30 a, 30 b, 30 c, and 30 d. Sides 30 are typically aligned perpendicularly as shown. It may be appreciated that other arrangements and shapes may be possible, yet the shown arrangement is typical and most commonly used in the hitch industry. Tube 22 preferably has a rectangular cross section and more preferably a square cross section including inner and outer surfaces 31 and 33. Tubular member 23 includes a free end 32 which defines a notch 26. Notch 26 is positioned at a terminal end 34 of the free end 32. In one aspect, terminal end 34 includes a terminal edge 35 which is substantially U-shaped in section.
In one aspect, each of the sides 30 includes a respective edge 36 a, 36 b, 36 c, and 36 d. Edges 36 extend between inner and outer surfaces 31, 33 and face rearwardly with respect to an associated vehicle upon mounting thereon in any suitable manner. At least two of edges 36, and preferably three of edges 36, generally define a plane. As may be appreciated with reference to FIG. 4, edges 36 a and 36 c generally define a plane. At least one of the four sides 30 has an edge, for example, edge 36 d, where at least a portion of the edge 36 d is off-set from the plane defined by at least two of the other edges, for example edge 36 a and 36 c. This off-set arrangement defines notch 26 in this aspect. The use of notch 26 is described in greater detail below.
It may be appreciated that each of the four sides 30 has a length, and that at least a portion of one of the sides 30 d may have a length �t� which is shorter than the length �u� of at least two of the other sides, 30 a, 30 c. Having such shortened length arrangement alternatively defines notch 26.
A further aspect of notch 26 is shown in FIG. 14, where edge 36 d spans less than the entire width of side 30 d. It may be appreciated that side 30 d may include edges 36 e and 36 f. Edges 36 e and 36 f may be of varying dimension to provide a notch 26 of greater or lesser width as desired.
In fabricating tube 22, notch 26 may be cut-out or stamped from tube member 23. It may be appreciated that removal of material from free end 32 may be accomplished in any number of non-limiting methods in order to create notch 26. It is preferable, however, that notch 26 be positioned at a terminal end 34 of tube 23. It may be appreciated that notch 26 may be formed upon bending of sides 30 such that a side 30 d having a shorter relative length as compared to other sides 30 a, 30 b, or 30 c results in tube 23 having a desired notch 26. Notch 26 may be stamped from side 30 when tubular member is in a flat state and before bending into tubular form. Alternatively, notch 26 is cut or punched or otherwise removed from a tubular member 23 of standard stock variety. Multiple treatments of tubular member 23 may be needed as desired. A single punch or cut of notch 26 may be accomplished as is shown by notch 26 of FIG. 14, for instance. It may be appreciated that notch 26 may be provided without deformity of tube 23 and without deformity of terminal end 34. It may be appreciated that notch 26 may be positioned at a variety of locations about terminal end 34, and is preferably centered at one of sides 30 such as at 30 d as shown. It may also be appreciated that notch 26 may vary in length and width as desired. Preferably notch 26 has a depth that is generally similar to a thickness of lip 24 as described further below.
Tube 22 includes pin aperture 38 which is adapted to receive a holding pin (pin not shown) which inserts through tube 22 and through an inserted hitch bar as is commonly used in the hitch industry. It may be appreciated that a hitch bar may be inserted into hitch bar receiving cavity 40 defined by tube 22. Preferably tube 22 includes a pair of apertures 38 defined on opposing sides. Preferably aperture 38 is defined on a side 30 d in which notch 26 is also defined. It may be appreciated, however, that notch 26 may be defined on a side 30 which also does not include aperture 38.
Referring to FIGS. 1-3, and FIGS. 7-10, lip 24 includes a body member 42 having four segments 44 a, 44 b, 44 c, and 44 d. Segments 44 include respective facing portions 46 a, 46 b, 46 c, and 46 d which generally define lip opening 48 to the hitch bar receiving cavity 40. Segments 44 also include respective shoulders 56 a, 56 b, 56 c, and 56 d. Lip 24 includes tab 28. As shown in FIGS. 1-4, where lip 24 is assembled together with tube 22, tab 28 is positioned within notch 26. Lip 24 may be welded to tube 22. Preferably tab 28 includes an inner surface 29 such that when lip 24 is assembled with tube 22, inner surface 29 is flush with tube inner surface 31. Such arrangement preferably provides an uninterrupted contour between lip 24 and tube 22 and accommodates smooth insertion of a receiver bar within tube 22. As shown in FIGS. 11-22, further aspects of the invention are shown where an alternative lip 24 and notch 26 may be provided as desired. It may be appreciated that any variety and multiple lip and notch configurations may be utilized under the present invention. Preferably notch 26 is positioned at a terminal edge 34 of tube 22.
When lip 24 is assembled with tube 22, the inner surface 49 of shoulders 56 of lip 24, or some of them, preferably abut outer surface 33 of tube 22. Lip segment surface 45 may abut edge 36, such as at edge 36 d. It may be appreciated that at least some of the segments 44 may be L-shaped in section. It may be further appreciated that at least one segment 44 d may be other than L-shaped in section. For instance, at least one segment 44 d may be generally rectangular shaped in section. It may also be appreciated, for instance as shown in FIG. 17, that at least a portion (i.e., at tab 28) of at least one segment, such as segment 44 d, may be generally rectangular in section, while other portions of the segment 44 d may be generally L-shaped in section. Preferably lip 24 has a width �x� (FIG. 9) which is substantially equal to a depth �y� (FIG. 5) of notch 26.
Tab 28 includes bore 50, and preferably a threaded bore. A fastener 52, such as an optional bolt, preferably threaded, may be inserted into bore 50. In operation, a hitch bar (not shown) may be inserted into hitch bar receiving cavity 40 so that the bolt or fastener 52 may be tightened to secure the hitch bar within receiver box 20. Particularly, fastener 52 applies force against hitch bar at fastener end 54. Such force causes hitch bar to press firmly against inner surface 31 which stabilizes the hitch bar and reduces or prevents wobble and/or rattle. Bore 50 having a length of threads allows a user to firmly tighten fastener 52 to secure the hitch bar and prevent rattle and promote stability. It may be appreciated that the greater the thickness of tab 28, the greater the length of threads, which in turn increases the ability to obtain a strong securing force while at the same time lessening the possibility of stripping of the threads. It may be appreciated that shoulder 56 d defines bore 50. Preferably bore 50 is in communication with cavity 40. It may be appreciated that shoulder 56 d comprises a perimeter edge of lip 24. It may also be appreciated that bore 50 is aligned generally orthogonal to a longitudinal axis L running through cavity 40. In assembly, lip 24 covers at least a portion of perimeter edge 36 of tube 22.
Lip body 42 may include four segments 44 each having opposite ends connected to ends of adjacent segments 44 such that the segments 44 cooperate to define a rectangular opening 48. In one aspect of the invention, and referring to FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, segments 44 include shoulders 56. Preferably, at least a portion of one of shoulders 44 d (i.e., at tab 28) has a thickness �a� greater than a thickness �b� of at least one of the adjacent segments 44. Tab 28 projects toward a center area 60 of lip 24. Segments 44 include shoulders 56 and facing portions 46 in a generally L-shaped cross section. When lip 24 is assembled with tube 22, the inside surface 47 of facing portion 46 of lip 24, or some of them, preferably abut edge 36 of tube 22. Alternatively surface 47 may avoid contact with edge 36. A powder coating may be introduced to any gap created thereby.

Late on this February evening, we were walking in the quiet , empty, snowed-blanketed streets in our neighborhood. We talked about this and that, and about the movie we had just seen at the Film museum directed by Luis Buñuel, as part of the series titled Golden Age: Mexican Cinema, 1930 – 1954.
I also reflected on how I used to walk my dog in the park late every night and early each morning, and how nice it was to enjoy those silent moments together.
It had started snowing lightly again at 6, right before we went in to see the film; by the time we left the cinema the world was once again dusted in white. The comfortable, soft rhythm of walking in the snow felt good. It was so nice to move slowly and be together and enjoy our life.

The consensus view of the Civil War-that it was first and foremost a war to restore the Union, and an antislavery war only later when it became necessary for Union victory-dies here. James Oake's groundbreaking history shows how deftly Lincoln and congressional Republicans pursued antislavery throughout the war, pragmatic in policy but steadfast on principle.
In the disloyal South the federal government quickly began freeing slaves, immediately without slaveholder compensation, as they fled to Union lines. In the loyal Border States the Republicans tried coaxing officials into abolishing slavery gradually with promises of compensation. As the devastating war continued with slavery still entrenched, Republicans embraced a more aggressive military emancipation, triggered by the Emancipation Proclamation. Finally it took a constitutional amendment on abolition to achieve the Union's primary goal in the war. Here , in a magisterial history, are the intertwined stories of emancipation and the Civil War.

Food and Tycha: Fred's brownies
Fred's brownies
When I was working in Amsterdam at the local television station, I had a sweet colleague from the US. Once he treated the whole floor to brownies and a huge New York cheesecake. Both were delicious. On request he gave me the recipes, and just now (years later) I finally made the brownies. Why did I wait that long? They were yummy yummy yummy. So please try them if you are in the mood for something very chocolaty, fudgy, smeary and yet crunchy.Fred's brownies230 g butter225 g dark chocolate (70% cacao), roughly chopped125 g flour1 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt380 g sugar4 eggs2 teaspoons vanilla extract140 g walnuts, roughly chopped* preheat the oven to 175 C* grease a baking pan that is around 25x30 cm (or a little bit bigger or smaller) and then line it with two sheets of baking paper. also grease the top layer of baking paper. the paper can stick out some centimeters on the top to prevent the brownie mixture to overflow* melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave at 350 watt, stirring each 30 seconds until completely melted* in a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt* in another, large bowl, whisk the sugar with the eggs and vanilla extract until fluffy and white* pour in the melted chocolate/butter mixture while stirring, and then add the flour mixture. continue stirring from the edges of the bowl to prevent lumps* when all is mixed, stir in the chopped walnuts* pour the mixture into the baking pan and place in the oven for around 40 minutes, the top should be shiny and edges should curl up a little* let it cool down completely on a rack (yes, this is the hard part!), be patient.* flip it over carefully and remove the paper. cut into squares and enjoy.The brownies will taste even better the day after, so make them in advance, or try to save some for the next day.Thanks Fred!

2016 | Stardust & Melancholy
Good things happened; of course they always do. It can take longer to look for them sometimes. I feel like this year my photography finally took a step forward – it’s closer to where I want it to look, feel. I’m still not there (I’ll never feel quite “there”, I don’t even know where “there” is) but it definitely took a leap over the seemingly immovable static I had been feeling.

But 2016 was an ending for me too. I don’t know what the future will bring, and it was an ending for me thinking that if I just sit back and be patient enough things will happen. I have to stop thinking that way. I need to become proactive and make things happen. Patience is a virtue, but so is passion and movement and action. If I really want this as much as I claim I do, I need to go out and get it.
I will still tell myself I’m not good enough.
But I won’t listen anymore.
It’s now 2:22am, Saturday December 31, 2016. I’ll go to bed, wake up, and it will be the last day of this crazy, unrepeatable year.

These photographs are absolutely stunning! Props to you Photographer, props to you.
So grateful for you Osric!
Wow. These are stunning. Especially the one of Tim and the profile of Osric. You’re so very talented – may many more people realise that in the coming year.
You can pull such beauty from your subject. Your writing tells me how you are able to find the key piece for each subject. Finding what is the best in them and bringing that to the front: Osric’s internal strength, Kim ferocious nature, Jensen and Jared’s bond, or Misha’s deep intelligence. All this and more are your talents. Thank you for sharing them with us. Keep pushing your boundaries – flight is just a step away. And that’s a picture I can’t wait to see.

Linebacker James Harrison visiting Arizona Cardinals, per reports
Shutdown Corner August 27, 2014
FILE - In this Sept. 17, 2013, file photo ,Cincinnati Bengals outside linebacker James Harrison smiles as he leaves the field following their 20-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in an NFL football game in Cincinnati. With NFL training camps about to open around the league in a few days, several big-name players such as Ed Reed and James Harrison are still unemployed. (AP Photo/David Kohl, File)
The Arizona Cardinals might be hoping to strike veteran defensive gold one more time.
The team is bringing in free-agent linebacker James Harrison for a visit, per multiple reports.
Harrison, 36, received little interest on the free-agent market after being released in March by the Cincinnati Bengals, for whom he started 10 games (out of 15 played) last season. He was not effective as a pass rusher, notching only two sacks, and never really making an impact.
But the Cardinals have need at linebacker, both inside and out. Daryl Washington is supended for the season, Karlos Dansby left to sign with the Cleveland Browns in the offseason and John Abraham is playing his way back into shape after rejoining the team late following a DUI this offseason.
Coordinator Todd Bowles' defense as a could use some help, too. Defensive end Darnell Dockett just went down for the season, and defensive back Tyrann Mathieu is in danger of missing Week 1 against the San Diego Chargers if he does not play in the preseason finale on Thursday.
The Cardinals tried to bring in former Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel to help replace Dockett, but Keisel reneged on a free-agent visit and signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's interesting to note that the Steelers also showed some lukewarm interest in Harrison returning to town this offseason, but that hasn't materialized.
The Cardinals have found some veterans to help them out after others have passed, such as Dansby and Abraham ... could Harrison be the next in that line? The ornery Harrison could be brought in as a tone-setter on defense, but his play has dropped off precipitously the past few seasons.

Never Say Never - Stop the Bleating!
« Useful Idiots | Main | No, the Theory of Communism Isn't Good »
Michelle Malkin has a lengthy, link-rich post on a little girl in Massachusetts named Haleigh Poutre, who was terribly abused by her stepfather and was supposedly in a "persistent vegetative state" from which she could never recover. She was kept alive by a feeding tube and ventilator. The State wanted to remove her feeding tube, and just days ago got a court order permitting it to do so. Except that, er, suddenly Haleigh is showing signs of recovery:
This is a huge story, a wake-up call to "right-to-die" ideologues . . . The same government bureaucrats and doctors who had conclusively deemed the 11-year-old girl "hopeless" and her vegetative state "irreversible" now tell us she is responding to stimuli and breathing on her own.
I agree with the sentiment, although it might be more appropriate to say that this should be a wakeup call, but likely will be ignored by the let's-kill-the-helpless crowd. In fact, a quick survey of lefty sites -- Talk Left, TPM, DU, TPM Cafe, Eschaton, Huff Post, Crooks & Liars -- augmented by Google searches of the same sites for the term "Haleigh Poutre," turns up no mention of this development and only one mention of Haleigh at all: D-Kos'er 5oclockshadow, quoting lefty Virginian (sigh) Josh Chernila, seems to be arguing that, since Haleigh's stepfather didn't quite manage to kill her, we should make sure to finish the job so that we can charge him with murder:
Here we see the “Culture of Life” being used to defend the rights of the likely murderer of an 11-year-old girl. If Haleigh is allowed to die, her stepfather will almost certainly be charged with capital murder. Does a parent who mercilessly beats his “de-facto child” to the brink of death deserve to prolong her vegetative life to protect himself from criminal prosecution? So argues the “Culture of Life”.
Yes, what an outrage that anyone would think we should try to save this poor little girl's life, even if it means that her stepfather only goes to prison for 15 years instead of 30! Shocking!
Shucks, I've got an idea: Let's just deny victims of child abuse all medical care. I bet many more of them would die that way. That seems to be the goal, after all, so why not really go with it?
Chernila's post is now two days old. I wonder if he's yet had time to finish that gigantic crow he should be cramming down his throat right now.

"It is not very easy to consistently come up with such bad writing. It is very easy to improve, based on past experience, feedback and constant practice. But to maintain the same low quality, or better, get worse than when you started out, believe me, that takes some serious talent." - said a prominent author, whose stated intent is to be India's 'best loved' one. Though some jealous people hate him, and pass sarcastic comments on twitter, only to get blocked. Heh, serves you right, you uncool people!

Thank goodness for satnav's, would have struggled to find this with few clear signposts. But what a reward, very nice holiday park, a little worn at the edges, but such quirky fun AND sooooo relaxed. Would not hesitate to come back here as it has a well kept secret - St Mary's Bay. This bay is a 400 metre walk, down 100 steps and into a secluded almost private beach with very attractive cliffs. No ice cream sellers or chips or plastic buckets for sale, in fact NO shops (take your own refreshments, bucket & spades etc.) Fantastic. On one day a seal appeared and followed a young boy in a plastic canoe, the boy stroked its nose, rubbed its belly and it followed him for over an hour. There are superb costal paths that reminded me of Pembrokeshire around the back of the park. Enterainment was surprisingly enjoyable in the clubhouse. Okay the park shop is very limited in what it sells, but then its not a big camp. Great place for a friendly family holiday or a quiet get away from it all break.

Mannell-a-Mundo: A Blog Abroad: Episode 5: Winter Update
Episode 5: Winter Update
Let's start way back in November - Copan Ruinas.
This is a quaint little town about 3 hours away by bus with a bunch of Mayan ruins. We had a lot of fun there over Thanksgiving. Our hotel served an amazing breakfast, and from it we could see Guatemala past all the mountains. One thing we didn't consider - it was almost December and we were at altitude. The temps dropped to the 50s each night, and we only owned one light jacket each. We treated it as our training for the return to the States for Christmas.
During our first night in Copan, we went to a delightful German microbrewery. The owner let me speak bad German with him, which was really nice. They served up incredible, authentic German dishes, and the owner's wife created handmade jewelry that Megan cleaned out. The next morning we went to the ruins on a guided tour. The guide was really funny and spoke Spanish and English throughout to make us practice.
The coffee in Copan was amazing, the food was all very good, and it was a nice retreat from the city to help us begin winding down the school year.
The next week, I traveled to KC for the MLS Championship game at Sporting Park. To sum it up, the cost and travel time were well worth it. After two overtimes and 10 rounds of PKs (a league record), Sporting KC won. It was one of the top 3 coolest days of my life (it was definitely the coldest day of my life), and an experience I was glad to share with family and friends.
The following week we came back home to see family and friends. It was awesome to get to see people, and we already miss you all.
We came back to Central America a week early to go to Costa Rica for 5 days. We will upload pictures and information about that trip soon. For now, we are back to school and hard at work. It's easy for people to forget that, even though we post all our fun happenings on this blog, we are actually here to work. It's been a rough few weeks, getting back into the swing of things and working with some new changes at the school. But we are happy to be back to teaching, and enjoying the mild weather!
