About the Photographer
American, b.1948 NJ
By consciously maneuvering the aircraft in such a way as to place light and shadow in relationship to material forms, I control the shapes and patterns within the photograph. By maintaining the relationship between tone, shape and texture, the gesture evoked by the symbolic nature of the subject is reinforced. If all this works, then the photograph is alive and meaningful and not merely a record of the charted landscape. – Marilyn Bridges
In 1976, upon seeing the Nazca Indian "runway" lines in Peru, Marilyn Bridges decided to become a pilot. That same year she debuted in the art world with her pictures of those prehistoric ground drawings, and had her first solo show: an exhibition at the Museum of Natural History in New York. Since then she has worked steadily to make black-and-white aerial photographs that evoke the spirit and mystery of archeological sites from Greece to the Yucatán. Silbury Hill, for instance, is titled for an artificial mound in England notable for its flat top, its height of 130 feet, and a perfectly round base 1640 feet in circumference. It was built beginning in 2,660 BCE and excavated in the 18th and 19th centuries. The origins of the hill, which at more than five acres is the largest man-made prehistoric mound in Europe, are a matter of speculation. The Equestrian, Mendon, New York, however, varies from the majority of Bridges' photographs in its examination of far more recent and far less monumental changes to the landscape. Made just a year after Silbury Hill, the photograph The Equestrian, Mendon, New York provides the viewer with an uncommon perspective of equestrian fences shaping the rural landscape. The geometry of these fences and a side road that services them seems as arbitrary as it is artificial. The tone and line of the composition are consistent with Bridges' photographs of more exotic or historical locales, but the questions of how people relate to the land and the lasting effects of those relationships take on a different spin.
Bridges is credentialed to fly single- and multi-engine land and sea aircraft, and she even owns her own Cessna, but she doesn't pilot when she photographs. Waiting for just the right light, she directs the pilot where to fly and when to tilt in angles ranging from low oblique to vertical to get the right picture. The process is technically demanding both in terms of flying, the plane must slow down to just a notch above stalling even at a shutter speed of 1/1000th of a second, and in terms of photographing. Unable to slow the plane any more than she does, Bridges extends the speed of her Tri-X film by pushing it (a development technique). So that her landscapes resonate as land and not as abstractions, she shoots from an altitude no greater than 1000 feet above the earth, and she prefers to get as close as 200 feet. She usually shoots with a 6×7 Pentax medium-format camera, sometimes a Leica 35mm, and always from an open window.
Born in New Jersey on December 26, 1948, Marilyn Bridges has lived in San Francisco and Hawaii, traveled the world, and now resides in Rochester, New York. She received her Bachelor of Fine Art and Master of Fine Art from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Currently, Bridges is a partner with Photopia, a general photography/aerial photography studio in Rochester. She received a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in 1982, a CAPS grant in 1983, a National Endowment for the Arts grant in 1984, and a Fulbright Grant in 1988-9. Her photographs are in numerous collections including the American Museum of Natural History, New York; Aperture Foundation, New York; Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris; Center for Creative Photography, University of Arizona, Tucson; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Musée de la Photographie, Charleroi, Belgium; and Museum of Modern Art, New York.

When6:00 pm to 7:30 pm, October 1, 2014
LocationPaul Berg Hall, Room C, at Li Ka Shing Center (LKSC) Conference Center
291 Campus Drive, Stanford, CA 94305
In this dialogue CCARE’s founder and director, Dr. James Doty, will ask Dr. Dean Ornish about his life’s work and what role compassion may have played. This event is an hour-long dialogue followed by questions from the audience. The talk will be recorded and posted to CCARE’s YouTube Channel and website several weeks after the event.
Dr Dean Ornish is a Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCSF and the Founder & President of the nonprofit Preventive Medicine Research Institute. Dr. Ornish’s pioneering research was the first to prove that lifestyle changes may stop or even reverse the progression of heart disease and early-stage prostate cancer and even change gene expression, turning on disease-preventing genes and turning off genes that promote cancer, heart disease and premature aging. Recently, Medicare agreed to provide coverage for his program, the first time that Medicare has covered an integrative medicine program. He is the author of six bestselling books and was recently appointed by President Obama to the White House Advisory Group on Prevention, Health Promotion, and Integrative and Public Health. He is a member of the boards of directors of the San Francisco Food Bank and the J. Craig Venter Institute. The Ornish diet was rated #1 for heart health by U.S. News & World Report in 2011 and 2012. He was selected as one of the “TIME 100” in integrative medicine, honored as “one of the 125 most extraordinary University of Texas alumni in the past 125 years,” recognized by LIFE magazine as “one of the 50 most influential members of his generation” and by Forbes magazine as “one of the 7 most powerful teachers in the world.”
Registration is required for access to seating before the event starts. Non-registrants are still welcome to come. Any available seats will offered on a first-come, first-serve basis once the event begins.

A Purple Heart
“Patrick McMahon died two months ago, defending his country,” Father Cunningham intones. Most of us in the church look over at Patrick, where he sways in the first pew, to see if he reacts. He doesn’t.
Patrick has not spoken a word since the two army nurses led him, with a tight grip on each bicep, through our front door and into our living room. “Oh, honey, welcome home,” my mother exclaimed. She didn’t touch him. The nurses let go and Patrick tottered on the dingy carpet. They explained that he’d only been dead a short while, so his brain damage wasn’t as bad as most. They told us he couldn’t eat more than a handful of living people’s food each day, and they gave us a drum of blue pellets that he should eat instead. They told us to bathe him and walk him. And then they left. Mom fled to the kitchen.
“Hey,” I said then. His skin had a gray sheen. I touched him. He was cold. “It’s me. Your little bro.”
His eyes flickered. His hand twitched. The skin under his nails was dark purple, almost dead black. “Uh,” he grunted.
Now Father Cunningham frowns at Patrick. “My friends, we all here loved Patrick. Let us remember him alive and vibrant. Let us celebrate his life.”
We tried to celebrate. We had a party. People brought casseroles. Patrick stood, swaying, and looked no one in the eye. Mom forced a smile through the whole thing but when Patrick had his piece of cake he couldn’t chew with his mouth closed and gooey bits of frosting mushed off his purple tongue and fell out over his gray lips. It made Mom flee again to the kitchen to weep. I took a party napkin and wiped his cold face. He didn’t even blink.
“God asks us to bear our burden,” Cunningham continues, “and to take comfort in knowing that He awaits us after death. We must not forget this.”
Father Cunningham argued against signing the forms. My mother had been against it too, I think. But after Patrick got his orders, she sat with him at the kitchen table and read the paperwork from the thick folders. Then she handed Patrick a pen to sign the in-case-of-death authorizations: the green sheet for a plastic heart transplant, and the blue for the purple serum that would replace his coagulated dead blood. She understood that, before he went to war, Patrick needed to believe that if he were killed, it wouldn’t be permanent.
Father Cunningham smiles sadly at my mother. “What can we say of this son of ours?”
That he had not been a good son. That he had failed at school, never excelled at sports, disobeyed all the best advice, gotten at least one girl pregnant who later had an abortion, and joined the army not for college money but because violent computer games infested him with a desire to become a sniper. Yet my mother had been so proud to see him in uniform, burstingly erect. He seemed another man. Transformed with purpose — even if a purpose not his own.
The Priest nods, and answers his own question. “We can say he was one of us. A child of God. Today we remember him, but let us also remember Christ’s sacrifice for us so that we may have a true eternal life.”
I think the smell finally pushed my mother beyond endurance. When the dank hint of putrefaction overwhelmed the kitchen and then our bedrooms, she called Father Cunningham and told him he was right: this abomination was not Patrick. This Patrick sat on the couch all day, motionless but for, perhaps once an hour, slowly lifting a blue pellet to his mouth from the bowl mom had set on the table. His eyes were turning black. Only the changing of a TV station could make him blink.
“Amen,” Father Cunningham finishes. Music starts. I lead Patrick to the hearse.
At the graveyard, we set the empty coffin in the mud beside the pit and lift the lid. Rain spots the white silk interior. My brother doesn’t even grunt. We wait a moment, unsure who should try to lead him. But then, unbidden, Patrick shuffles through mire to the coffin and climbs inside.
His eyes stare wide at the padded cover as it drops over him. Then we slide the coffin onto the bed of straps. The winch lowers him into the muddy hole.
I vow that if he hits the door once, if he just taps on it, I’ll leap into the grave and bust him out. Though he could lift the lid himself, if he wanted. But the coffin is silent and still.
The water makes the dirt heavy. It falls into the grave as if thrown. There is no sound but the rain on umbrellas, and the chunk of the shovels, and my mother grieving her son’s final end.
When we get home I pour the last of his blue pellets into the trash out behind the garage. Then I lay on my bed and wait for the neighbors to arrive with a second batch of casseroles.
Patrick won’t last long. A week, maybe. His purple heart, pushing each day more sluggishly at his congealing blood, starved of oxygen and the warmth of living cells, will eventually stop. That is some comfort to Mom. To know that all the pains and the mess of this uncertain end will be forgotten, and what will remain is what a passerby might take from a veteran’s grave stone: here lies a hero.
History will set everything aright, with a story of how many good men fought evil and then died. The kind of story that could only be told after the dead were bound under the heavy Earth that keeps them silent and unseen.

Lists are a necessity of one’s life. If we all stopped making and displaying lists for all to see, I’m sure all would collapse, a string of numbers and names which act as the intangible string keeping our heads glued together. So to keep everything in check, here’s Channel Static’s first list; a top ten of 2013’s best albums. Because there just aren’t enough of these out there. Fill the void, we’re saving the world from total destruction, one list at a time.
10. Pond – Hobo Rocket
Psychedelic rock made by a homeless person dressed in tin foil riding around in space. Well, it sounds like that (or The Flaming Lips). The cheer up tape of 2013, we all need a psychedelic breakdown on a terrible Tuesday. And ‘if you motherfuckers don’t like it, you can all get out’, Pond would say, or at least sing.
Track of choice: Giant Tortoise
9. Parquet Courts – Light Up Gold
Slacker’s not dead! Parquet Courts ‘Light Up Gold’ is like a hybrid combination of early Beck and Half Man Half Biscuit, yet the end product comes out feeling fresh and totally their own thing. Every cynic of the world should have this album injected into their veins, the moody wit tastes so fine.
Track of choice: Stoned And Starving
8. Death Grips – Government Plates
Government Plates is another intense bout of heavy electronics and shout rap, but this time the anger occasionally subsides, sombre moments adding weight to the thumping industrial beats. Death Grips virgins may find it similar to being hit in the face with a hammer, but it only hurts the first time. The ears harden to the noise and it becomes a head banging rave.
And it’s currently FREE to download! Click the album art above to be whisked away to a world of grime, fear and loathing. But the dance-able kind.
Track of choice: Birds
7. The Flaming Lips – The Terror
In a year were most bands wanted to sound like apocalyptic wastelands, The Flaming Lips beat everyone out by sounding the bleakest. Which sounds like an awful compliment, doesn’t it? Haunting psychedelic wastelands, with lyrics which linger. Better.
Track of choice: Turning Violent
6. Fuck Buttons – Slow Focus
It sounds inhuman, and for about an hour the savage synths drone on, numbing the body and sending the mind off into alien worlds. And when it fades out, emptiness resides. Only venturing back in makes sense. Live shows end with a wall of ear-splitting noise to fill the void. It was the last thing I heard for days. Instrumental electronica which absorbs the minds of all who venture near.
Track of choice: Brainfreeze
5. Darkside – Psychic
Psychic is the album which I just couldn’t get sick off, no matter how hard I tried. It blends the ambient with pop (or Blade Runner meets disco), a mix which soothes and invigorates simultaneously, and while tracks can go on for as long as eleven minutes, the pace never feels sluggish. It’s so warm yet distant, contrasts forever colliding. I’d sleep in it if music was a tangible object.
Track of choice: Freak, Go Home
4. Deerhunter – Monomania
A catchy indie rock record taken into the alley for a good beating. When it comes back its hair is fuzzy, legs bleeding and a scooter engine has been stuck to its back, still running. Now it’s ready to rock. The bands fragile dream pop is still there, it’s just coated with a thick layer of noise and fuzzy production. And it works so well, it made my ears bleed.
Track of choice: Monomania
3. The Knife – Shaking The Habitual
The blinding cover is probably the least striking thing about Shaking The Habitual, an album which managed to frighten the shit out of me when I first listened to it in the early hours one April morning. It feels feral, as tribal beats bang along to industrial menace, be it ambient or stomping. After a feverish first half, the album descends into a cold dark room, the sounds of creaks and groans filling the head with dread for twenty minutes, before bursting into fracking fluid injections in the second half. An incredibly refreshing experience, it shook me right up. Let’s talk about gender baby.
Then they shook me up again when they cancelled their Manchester show in October. It’s what they do.
Track of choice: Full Of Fire
2. Queens Of The Stone Age – …Like Clockwork
… Like Clockwork had won me over before I even listened to the whole album. It wasn’t a bout of blind fanboy loving, but from an excellent series of shorts appearing up to the release. These shorts covered small portions of select songs, playing to twisted stories in a screwed up comic world designed by a guy who calls himself Boneface. A fan of violence. Click here to see it!
When I finally got hold of the full release, a world had already been formed. The snippets of music displaying fragile beauty and dirty guitar sounds expanded into completely different beasts all together, with surprise guest appearances popping up at each turn (Elton John, Trent Reznor, Alex Turner, Jake Shears are a select few who turn up for some heavy breathing). Each track feels unique without breaking the consistent atmosphere the album creates. A bleak and sexy atmosphere. Mmm, yeaaahhh.
A showcase that you can go from hard rock to ballads without sucking ass.
Track of choice: Kalopsia
1. My Bloody Valentine – M B V
You could claim that My Bloody Valentine churn out release after release, never stopping to take a break between releases, but when the quality remains this high, who’s complaining? 22 years is no time at all.
Dropping on the net after a sudden announcement M B V took everyone by surprise. And it starts directly were Loveless left off, pop and noise colliding to create a sonic sound storm. Which was a hell of a lot better than the snow storms going on around release. It sure made the trip to work a lot cosier, losing myself to the soundscapes rather than to the cold. It starts in familiar territory but ends up taking a sudden turn to the future, with an end track which sounds like a sausage being thrown through a wind tunnel. No, that’s to describe something else… just take out the sausage.
The albums which stick are the ones which impact our personal lives, and M B V is one of them. Even if it did come out a bit too soon after the last one.
Track of choice: Only Tomorrow
Honourable Mentions: After Dark II, Atoms For Peace – AMOK, Boards Of Canada – Tomorrow’s Harvest, Body/Head – Coming Part, Chelsea Light Moving, Deafheaven – Sunbather, Kanye West – Yeezus, Lee Ranaldo And The Dust – Last Night On Earth, Pinkunoizu – The Drop, Savages – Silence Yourself

HOW TO USE THE REPERTORY.
The heart symptoms are subdivided into sections as follows: “Mental Symptoms,” “Symptoms of Cardiac Action and Pulse Characters Not Definitely or Specifically Recorded as Being Characterized by Acceleration or Retardation,” “Slow Cardiac Action and Pulse,” “Increased Cardiac Action and Pulse-rate,” “Ebullitions, Orgasm, Etc.,” “Palpitation,” “Sensations,” “Pains,” “Clinical Symptoms.” The subheadings are manifest at a glance on consulting the section in which you seek to find a symptom. If you wish to know more about the symptom than you find under a sub-caption, turn to the completed symptom (under the name of the remedy) at the head of the section, where the names of all the medicines the symptoms of which have been repertorialized are arranged alphabetically.

Systolic murmur in aortic area and in course of large vessels. On applying the hand over the cardiac region, the impulse conveyed to it was of marked peculiarity, much resembling, as was conceived at the time, the purring tremor, or fremissement cataire of French writers, which is likely to accompany aortic regurgitation.

Sometimes, pets and their guardians have the odds stacked against them. At least, that seemed to be the case for Zita, Jessie and their guardian Myriam when she moved to Canada and had to leave her beloved cats behind.
Living on the other side of the world doesn’t always mean the end of a relationship though; sometimes it just means waiting a bit longer to find a home together again. Here is Myriam’s story.
I adopted Zita, a black and white kitten and Jessie, a tabby kitten, from the BC SPCA Kelowna Branch in August 1995. At the time, I was visiting Canada for one year from Germany. When the time came to leave and go back to Germany, both my girls came with me.
In 1999, when I immigrated to Canada, I had to leave the two behind with my parents because I did not want to subject them to travelling in the cargo hold again. It was really hard, because I had grown to love them so much, and I missed them both, especially Zita.
In 2004 my parents were able to bring them back to Canada when they travelled in business class and could bring pet carriers on board. The cats were nine years old by then, and my parents thought it was best to transport them at that time due to their senior age. Little did we know that they would carry on to be nearly 18 years old before they passed!
It’s crystal clear to us that Zita, Jessie and Myriam were meant to be together for life. Thank you for making adoption your first option and we hope you keep 18 years of memories close to your heart.

“Rain of Extinction” Triptych by Terris Temple ~ Click here to view this available work.
We are thrilled to again have master Tibetan Thangka painter Terris Temple in our Makawao and Pa’ia galleries. His most current works examine the fragile nature of native Hawaiian bird and plant species that are either extinct or endangered due to human infringement. Click here to visit his artist page.
From 1966 to 1975, Terris studied and practiced the art of Tibetan Thangka painting in Nepal with various Tibetan Masters, beginning with the State Artist of Tibet, the late Jampa Tseden. During the next 10 years he studied with other teachers of various lineages, and upon completion he taught at Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and other centers in the U.S.; painted a temple in Northern Nepal; and spent six years in Tibet on important art projects.
Terris is unique among Western artists in that his contemporary artworks reflect the knowledge and experience he has of Tibetan Buddhist art and culture. He expresses his individual styles in his personal work while continuing to make significant contributions in the field of Tibetan art. His medium is mineral and botanical pigments painted on silk, as well as silk collage combined with painting. Sacred Geometry (thongdrol) plays a basic foundation in his traditional Buddhist art.

List all available housing matching the inmate’s classification level, all special needs beds or all available beds in the system. The system warns the officer if an inmate is being placed in a cell with known enemies, codefendants or the cell’s designation does not match the classification level.
An explanation of decision splits for 9 Custody Level Primary JlCS Classification Instrument and instructions.
At the time of an inmate's classification review it may be determined that a reclassification of the current custody assignment is necessary, which falls into one of two categories: aggravating or mitigating circumstances.
The information generated from the classification trees produce rich inmate characteristics data for the jail in support of planning, management and policy development that go beyond the traditional security classification designations.

Words of Warning
A report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education includes 15 recommendations for helping to eliminate or reduce sexual misconduct by educators against students. Among them is that educators, parents, and students be aware of the following information:
- Any employee, as well as volunteers, might molest.
- Educator sexual predators are often well-liked and considered excellent teachers.
- Special education students or other vulnerable students are often targets of sexual predators.
- Adults who regularly have access to students before or after school or in private situations (coaches, music teachers, and others) are more likely to sexually abuse students than those who don’t.
- Physical signs of sexual abuse include difficulty walking or sitting, torn or bloodstained clothing, venereal disease, pregnancy, and changes in weight.
- Behavior indicators in students might include age-inappropriate sexual behavior, late arrivals to class, changes in personality, and increased time at school with one adult.
- Rumors are an important source of information on educator sexual misconduct.
- Behaviors of adults who molest include close personal relationships with students, time alone with students, time before or after school with students, time in private spaces with students, flirtatious behavior with students, and off-color remarks in class.

I am forever appreciative for NLC‘s broad vision and for the diverse friendships and nationwide contacts I have made.”
Ellie Hill – NLC Co-Founder; Missoula, MT Chapter

By Press Association
Canada’s Prime Minister has said his government is “supportive” of Prince Harry and Meghan markle’s move to the country but that the cost still needs to be discussed.
Justin Trudeau’s comments come amid reports claiming that he had agreed for Canadian taxpayers to foot Harry and Meghan’s security bill during their time there.
Speaking to Global News on Monday about the move, Mr Trudeau said: “I think most Canadians are very supportive of having royals be here, but how that looks and what kind of costs are involved, there are still lots of discussions to have.”
Mr Trudeau said there were still “a lot of decisions” to be had by the royal family and Harry and Meghan regarding the “level of engagement they choose to have”.
“We are obviously supportive of their reflections but have responsibilities in that as well,” he said.
“We’re not entirely sure what the final decisions will be.”
His comments echo those of Canada’s finance minister Bill Morneau who said the government “had not spent any time” thinking about the couple’s security costs.
In an interview filmed by CBC, Mr Morneau said: “We obviously are always looking to make sure that as a member of the Commonwealth that we play a role.
“We have not had any discussions on that subject at this time.”
It comes after a report in the London Evening Standard claimed Mr Trudeau agreed that his country’s taxpayers should cover the cost for the couple’s protection.
Earlier on Monday, the Queen issued a statement in support of the couple saying the royal family “respect and understand” their desire for a “new life”.
The head of state announced there would be a “period of transition” with Harry and Meghan – who have said they want to be financially independent and step back as senior royals – living in Canada and the UK.

I thought I’d start posting some randon photographs i’ve taken that may be of interest to some people. Subjects will vary, some of them have been taken with my work camera, some with only a point-and-shoot, some may be of no interest and some may remind you of something once upon a time.
This one relates directly to one of my favourite past times… kayak fishing. This has been taken at the base of the cliffs at Black Rock in Victoria (more specifically, Half Moon Bay). This is also a great wedding location.

Nice park, not great disc golf
2 Helpful / 0 Not
Pros: - Very nice park setting with a lot of old-growth oak trees.
- Quiet area without a lot of disc golf traffic
- Baskets in good condition
- Lawn well maintained
- Kid and beginner friendly
- Ace friendly, if your looking to pad your numbers or get that elusive first ace.
Cons: - Unsafe hole layout. You play across or along a walking path for 8 of the 18 holes. 13 can play directly along the path, with a blind corner for any oncoming person. 18 plays very close to a picnic pavilion and we had to skip it, due to people playing catch in the law near the basket.
- Natural teepads were unusable. They are a sandy-soil, which is slick when dry. Being somewhat wet, it was very slick, so we teed off from the grass next to it.
- Teesigns are vague and some were missing.
- Distances are incorrect (much shorter than posted) on signs and the map.
Other Thoughts: Miniwaukan Park is nestled back in a neighborhood and would be a treat to have in your back yard. It's full of old-growth trees, has a nice walking path, playground, and picnic shelter. The disc golf course adds a nice feature to the park, but it's execution is not ideal. The park is not one I'd go out of my way to play, unless you are just looking to mark it off your list.
Both my son and I had some great ace runs on a number of holes, but none stuck that day. You can play most holes on your choice of a hyzer or anhyzer line, due to the obstacles being large trees in a field. Some play straight up to the pin, in which case we threw a putter or mid range straight at it.
For the time being, I'm not going to do a hole-by-hole analyses. 1-3 have anny and hyzer lines with one or two trees between you and the basket. 4 is a staight approach with a low ceiling, or you could try a sky anny or hyzerbomb around the outside for more variety. 5-9 all play across or next to the walking path. Watch for pedestrians, dog-walkers, and bikes before you throw! 10-12 are fairly straight-up shots, but you play a somewhat low ceiling if you run at the basket. 13 is the hole you could run into trouble, playing along the path if your take the straight on approach or anny line. 14-18 are all pretty wide open, so take whatever shot you're most comfortable with and go with it.
Having driven out specifically to play this park, we were a bit disappointed. Even playing with a 9-year-old, he was not too impressed. We play a lot of courses and have found some real gems in small parks, but this one just didn't measure up. Not being able to finish #18 really left a bad feeling about the course. I could have thrown it safely, but it would have been too close to the birthday party going on for perceived safety.

C = Too much of too little
Pros: What I personally like and how this course stacks up:
1) Holes with good risk/reward. Fair, but harsh punishment for bad decisions or execution. == D+ (Almost no punishment anywhere for missing your line. No decision making imposed by the course design.)
2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities for me. I throw 300' accurately, 360' max. == C (Most are too short to be rewarding - I gave up trying to find the longs....maybe those are better if they even exist.)
3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography == C- (On only 3-4 holes are the trees used to force a certain shape shot. Missed potential in my mind.)
4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion. == B (The huge oaks are very beautiful and you feel quite secluded on a lot of the course. This is the best part of the park. If it was not for the highway noise, it would be an amazingly peaceful sanctuary.)
5) Bonus points for multi-shot holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them. == N/A
Other Thoughts: It's all about feeding the addiction, so I ranked this course subjectively based on my own "personal addiction factor". The grades above tell how well the course will draw me back to itself again and again and again. Since I have played a decent number of courses (125 18-hole, 64 9-hole as of mid 2009), my hope is that players/explorers who have similar addiction tastes will find my ratings list helpful as they choose courses to play and explore.
I fully expect others with different tastes/philosophies to disagree with me....that's the fun of things here. See my profile for my rating philosophy.

A photo of the groundbreaking Ugandan artist Keko. Photo from Flickr
In a May 2017 interview with the international news outlet PRI the Ugandan artist Keko was not afraid to speak out about who she is, and how she utilizes her popularity to advocate to issues that are of importance to her. At first, this does not come as a surprise at Hip-Hop is an outlet through which an individual expresses her own identity and tells one’s story. Yet, when examining the issues for which Keko advocates in this interview it becomes evident that she is advocating for some of the most marginalized groups in the country.
In the interview, she goes into detail about the process of writing her first single, titled “Alwoo,” which In English translates to “Cry for Help.” She goes into detail about what she is specifically trying to address in the song by saying “This is what happens, pretty much in Africa. With all the misogyny and women are not supposed to stand up or speak up. There was no song like that out, touching on this subject of domestic violence.” In short, she speaks of how she designed this song to be an outlet for Ugandan women who may have experienced domestic violence. She goes even further to say that while she has never personally experienced domestic violence, she knows many people who have. To that point, she notes that she knows women who fear retribution for speaking out, and therefore remain quiet.
In spite of her activism for women and encouraging Ugandan women to speak out in the case of domestic violence, the largest shock came later In the interview. In 2014, Uganda passed a law that harshly outlawed homosexuality, and same-sex marriage remains a punishable crime in the country today. Yet, this does not stop Keko from speaking out about the issue. In fact, in this interview she directly asked the PRI journalist if she wanted to speak about LGBTQI+ rights in Uganda. In an even further step, she said “I’m sure everybody in the entire country knows I’m gay,” going on to state “”They are probably still [in] denial, but I’m not. I speak on it because there are so many kids out there that are like that … people always have that notion where they say, ‘Oh, [being gay] is such a Western thing, they are copying it from the movies.’ So, I speak on it because people need to live freer lives. And this is Africa. So, there is still a lot of time before that happens. But if they can look back and be like, “Well, Keko was not afraid to be open about it and stand up for herself, then I can just be myself.” In short, Keko takes the bold move of being open about her sexuality, and In doing so offers a life-line of sorts to may members of the LGBTQI+ community of Uganda.
While the 2017 interview with PDI outlined to a international audience the groundbreaking work that Keko is doing inside Uganda through her music, she has done so inside the country for years. I conclusion, Keko is a phenomenal example of a hip-hop emcee who lifts up the stories of marginalized populations through her work ad music.

The as of yet unannounced Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 tablet that only leaked for the first time two days ago, was registered as FCC approved today, which gave us the first indications of what to expect.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 (Samsung SM-T500/505/507) has previously only leaked with the Bluetooth 5.0 specs. But today’s FCC approval brought with it both the exterior dimensions as well as an illustration of it, which indicates that the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 is a tablet in the 10.5-inch range. It measures 247.6mm by 157.36mm, and by all looks and means indicates that this tablet is in the 10.5-inch range.
It is certainly smaller than an 11-inch tablet, but larger than a modern slim bezel 10.1-inch tablet. These days tablet brands from Apple to Lenovo to Samsung are launching tablets with new specific sizes between 10 and 11 inches, so it’s difficult to tell what precise screen size it will have, but it should be very close to 10.5 inches.
The drawing also shows us that the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 tablet has a rear camera without a LED flash, and it appears to feature quad speakers, a USB C port on the side when viewed horizontally, a memory card slot (and SIM card slot for the 4G LTE version seen here), and possibly even a digitizer pen slot on the bottom corner.
This could be a 3.5mm audio jack too, but most likely we are looking at the slot for a Samsung S Pen digitizer pen.
Based on some of the other information I saw, not only was it tested with the TA50JWE Samsung travel charger, but it may have been tested against wireless chargers too.
So perhaps Samsung is following in Amazon’s footsteps and introduces wireless charging on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 too, like we’ve already have on the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 battery is rated from 6820 to 7040 mAh in the filing.
Based on the model numbers for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7, this should be a mass market tablet that will probably be widely available, including 4G versions sold through wireless carriers.

Cathy Dawson announces her retirement from seminary "friend raising"
Feb 17, 2006
Louisville Seminary President Dean K. Thompson announced on February 7 that Cathy Dawson, Vice President for Seminary Relations, will retire from her position on May 31, 2007. Dawson, who will turn 60 next year, has led the Seminary Relations department since June 1998, after serving for five years as Vice President for Finance, the first woman to hold a vice president position in the history of the Seminary.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Louisville Seminary, especially during the last seven and a half years, during which I have met many, many faithful Christians who care deeply about the Seminary and the future of the Church in the world. These people have shared their resources and prayers generously to ensure that the faithful have educated, imaginative, and loving leadership,” said Dawson.
During her tenure, Dawson and her Seminary Relations team have raised more than $45 million since 1998. This has included more than $6.5 million in student aid and scholarships, more than $10.8 million in campus improvements, and $2.8 million in faculty endowments, all of which is due to nearly 4,000 stewards and friends who have invested in Louisville Seminary. Some of the tangible results of their gifts are evident in more scholarships for students; the William R. and Ellen Laws Lodge and Retreat Center; and the renovation of the Winn Center, the campus student center.
“Cathy Dawson has served as a deeply caring and brilliant leader in her fields of expertise at Louisville Seminary,” said Thompson. “As Vice President for Finance and as Vice President for Seminary Relations, she has blended first rate competence with exemplary pastoral sensitivity.”
In addition to fundraising, one of Dawson’s chief responsibilities, and delights, has been in “relationship building.” With her team she has led the school to develop lasting associations among many of the Seminary’s constituents. Some of these relationships have been nurtured through the creation of new programs and resources: an alum online community, personalized class year updates, the Senior Challenge for graduating seminarians, the Annual Fund Challenge Grant, and an advisory board for the Seminary’s flagship publication, Mosaic.
“It has been my privilege to work with dedicated colleagues to carry out the mission of Louisville Seminary to equip men and women for ministry, most recently with our new president, Dean Thompson. With his excellent leadership and the creativity of my colleagues, Louisville Seminary will continue to do God’s work, and I look forward to seeing all God has in store for this institution,” she said.
Dawson came to Louisville Seminary from eight years at Lantech, Inc., where she was vice president and general manager for the marketing division, and Whip Mix Corporation, where she served as the director of quality. She is a member and director-elect of the Downtown Louisville Rotary Club. In 1999, she was awarded the Metro United Way Allen Society Community Service Award in recognition of her ongoing volunteerism. The influence of Louisville Seminary on her life became evident in 2004 when she moved her membership to the Presbyterian Church (USA) and was ordained an elder in her church the following year.
Thompson said that a search would commence June 1 and that it would be ideal to have the search completed by the fall “in order to bring the person under Ms. Dawson’s tutelage and mentorship for several months.”
“I look forward to the next sixteen months,” said Dawson, “during which I will do all in my power to contribute to the planning for the next capital campaign to fund the strategic plan that is currently being crafted.”
Then with giddy excitement she added, “In retirement, I look forward to spending time quilting, reading, spending time with my family, and holding babies.”

What is Multifactor Authentication?
Multifactor authentication has been in use for a number of years. It requires “something you know” and “something you possess” in order to authenticate your access. You may ask, "why not simply use two passwords?"
This would be two of the “something you know” category. Part of the authentication must be something that you physically have access to. For example, we see this when you go to an ATM. Your card is “something you possess” and your PIN is “something you know.”
Workplace sign-ins need to be authenticated with your mobile device, so no one can sign in with your password only, which makes it much harder to compromise security.
Manage a Company's Multifactor Authentication
- Navigate to login.os33.com and sign in with valid credentials.
You may be required to verify the sign-in by completing the multifactor authentication on your mobile device.
- Click Manage.
- Click View all settings.
- Click Company.
- Click on Security options.
- Click Edit at the bottom of the page.
- Select the type of multifactor authentication next to User MFA default:
- None: User authenticates using a password only.
- Inherit from group: The user will inherit the default settings of the groups the user belongs to.
- SMS (Choose for teams without smartphones): User authenticates using SMS multifactor authentication. When using this option, set up a backup phone number for that user.
- Symantec VIP (Third-party authentication): User is required to authenticate using Symantec VIP multifactor authentication.
- Sign-in verification (Fastest, native authentication): User is required to authenticate using multifactor authentication with the Workplace Mobile application.

Donald Trump imposed a wave of unilateral sanctions on Iran three weeks ago, bringing in harsh penalties that had been lifted under the 2015 nuclear agreement.
A second round of measures is due to come into effect in early November, targeting Iran’s oil and gas sector.
Iran filed its ICJ case in late July, calling on The Hague-based tribunal to order the immediate lifting of sanctions, which were causing “irreparable prejudice”.
The legal challenge said the US had no right to reinstate the sanctions and it demanded compensation for damages.
Iran said restoring the sanctions violated the 1955 Treaty of Amity and Economic Relations, which emphasised friendly relations between Iran and the US, while encouraging mutual trade and investment and regulating consular relations.
The ICJ (pictured), set up in 1946 to rule on bilateral disputes, is expected to take around two months to decide whether to grant a provisional decision, while a final ruling could take years.
The UN tribunal for resolving international disputes makes rulings that are binding but it has no power to enforce them and they have been ignored by some countries, including the US.
Trump called former president Barack Obama’s agreement with Iran a “horrible one-sided deal”, adding that it “failed to achieve the fundamental objective of blocking all paths to a Iranian [sic] nuclear bomb”.
The US is expected to argue that the ICJ should not have jurisdiction in the dispute, that the friendship treaty was no longer valid and that the sanctions did not violate it regardless.
The ICJ has so far ruled that the 1955 treaty is still valid, even though it was signed before the 1979 Islamic Revolution that triggered decades of hostility with Washington.
The rial has already lost around half of its value since April.
France’s Total, Peugeot and Renault, and Germany’s Siemens and Daimler have suspended operations in Iran, despite the European Union’s assurances that their interests would be protected.
Both Air France and British Airways said last week that they were halting flights to Teheran from September, saying the routes were not commercially viable. BA claimed the decision was unrelated to Trump’s sanctions.

Franklin Roosevelt entered the White House in 1933 confronting twenty-five-percent unemployment, bank closings, and a nationwide crisis in confidence. Between March 9 and June 16, FDR sent Congress a record number of bills, all of which passed easily. With reforms ranging from the legalization of alcohol to mortgage relief for millions of Americans, Roosevelt launched the New Deal that conservatives have been working to roll back ever since. Badger emphasizes Roosevelt’s political gifts even as the president and his Brains Trust of advisors, guided by principles, largely felt their way toward solutions to the nation’s manifold problems. Reintroducing the contingency that marked those fateful days, Badger humanizes Roosevelt and suggests a far more useful yardstick for future presidents: the politics of the possible under the guidance of principle.

In their final phase, conducted on a stretch of the Nevada desert, the speed of the revolutionary magnetic pod operating in a vacuum has spiked to a staggering 240 miles per hour — or 351 feet every second, which is way ahead of the summer tests and a total of 20 miles faster that Elon Musk’s previous hyperloop pod record.
Here is what Ryan Kelly, director of marketing for Hyperloop One, told Digital Trends:
"In the testing footage, you can see a 28.5-foot-long and 8.9-foot-tall vehicle propel at high-speeds down the world’s first full-system hyperloop test track. This test brings the vision of the hyperloop much closer to reality."
She is sure bigger, or more likely longer, testing tracks will make it possible to hit even greater speeds.
Though the test was conducted on December 15 it was made public only this week.
The first flight goes back to December 5. Here is the video uploaded by the company shortly after:
It was earlier announced that Virgin had changed hands, with its co-founder Richard Branson now in, replacing Shervin Pishevar, who was forced to quit over sexual assault allegations. In his new post, Branson has already managed to secure two lingering investments of $50 million in total, which came in just at the right time for the ambitious, though cash-strapped, company.

I am the Senior Editor for Petnome Project and our new sister site, Petnome Pirates. Petnome Pirates is still new and we have been working dilligently to provide as much pet information as we can with all the accuracy that we have knowledge of. There are just a few things that we DON'T "know" and was hoping that perhaps you could help us out.
We are trying to determine what stat boosts (Agility, Strength, or Spirited (Will)) increases the chance or affects a pet's Epic Ability. For example: Armadillo Verde has two Epics, Riposte & Relentless, but when using the Juju spells the Armadillo gets an increase in Strength. From our understanding, this Strength boost only increases the damage of this pet's natural attacks. But what stat boosts his Relentless or Riposte?
My own personal theory is similarily based on our Companions who also have these Riposte & Relentless Epics: El Toro, Kan Po, Kobe Yojimbo, & Ridolfo Capoferro (Swashbucklers who can get Agility & Strength increases on their talents) and Catbeard, Wing Chun, Handsome Dan (Privateers who get Strength & Spirited (Will) )
My own impression is that the Agility is standard stat boosts for Swashbucklers while (most) Privateers use Spirited for their own natural attacks. Since both of these groups share Strength as a common "secondary" talent I am presuming that this is what boosts their Epics.
On the other hand, I can see Relentless as being boosted by Strength (because of the power) while Riposte is boosted by Agility (because of the dodge that is involved) but this is where I get confused with the Spirited (Will) that those above Privateer companions have as well as the Ebon Spectre (whose stats are boosted by Will).
Can you please shed some light on this for us? We sure would appreciate it immensely.
If possible could you (if it's not considered a spoiler) let us know what stat boosts the following Epics:
I realize that the majority of these (with the exception of the mysterious Slippery Talent) belong mostly to Companions. But since our site is preparing for the possible chance of Evolution or Advance Pets we would like to think that one day we will have pets who will also somehow use these Epics, too.
Also I understand that there may be a chance you can't let us know outright what stats boost/affect the Pet's Epic abilities, but maybe you could "point" us in the right direction so that we can discover these for ourselves.
Thank you most sincerely for you time in reading this and hopefully in responding as well.
First of all, I want to say thank you for your hard work on the Petnome sites. Seeing players engaged in the "meta game" of maintaining wikis and strategy guides really makes my day.
Now to (maybe?) answer your question:
Using the Juju line of spells is a great way to winkle out the details of what pets and companions are doing "under the hood."
If you cast Juju and the spell boosts (STR-AGI-WILL) then you know that the unit is using (STR-AGI-WILL) for its "Primary Stat."
It is possible, but it is very unusual, for a talent to use something other than your Primary Stat to resolve effects.
So, a BUC with Relentless is probably comparing STR against its opponent, but a SWB is probably comparing AGI, and a PRV is probably comparing WILL.
1) There are exceptions.
2) Those exceptions are more likely to be found on powers than on talents. Powers are much more likely to belong to a particular class. So, for example, I may hard-wire a SWB power to look explicitly at AGI when resolving its effects, because I want Swashbucklers to be "the best" at resolving that power. Similarly, most heals will look at WILL, because I want Privateers to get the most benefit out of that power.
3) Generally speaking, a talent that is shared by lots of different units will NOT be set up to circumvent the "Primary Stat." Because I want talents to work well no matter who picks them up, I don't hard-wire any particular stat. So even though (for example) First Strike is usually found on Swashbucklers, it is *also* available to a whole lot of Buccaneers and Privateers.
I also want to briefly mention the "meta game" and why I may or may not share all of the details with the community.
I am always available to explain why certain things work the way they do, particularly when, barring my intervention, there is NO WAY that you will ever be able to figure it out on your own.
However, there are times when I will probably disappoint you by not providing all of the details.
1) I may want you to work to figure it out on your own. For many folks, this is a fun and engaging activity in and of itself.
2) I may want to preserve a bit of an edge for those players who DO figure it out on their own-- or those folks who are at least engaged enough in the game to seek out a site like the Petnome Project, Central, or the Duellists, to elevate their own game experience.
3) And sometimes, quite honestly, the mechanics may be so complex there's no good way to explain the tiny details-- so broad strokes are actually more useful to convey the necessary concepts. So, for example, it suffices to say that if your Primary Stat exceeds your target's Primary Stat, Relentless is more likely to go off-- but do not expect me to provide the exact mathematic ratio that governs that mechanic. This falls into the category of something that you'll never figure out on your own (it's too complex!) but which, at the end of the day, you don't really need to know "How much more STR for +1%?" (It doesn't exactly work like that, by the way.)
I am always happy to come here and answer questions-- it's the best part of my day! But I'm not going to do the actual work of filling out all the data you may need for a site like the Petnome Project.
I do promise to make sure that you have enough of the details that you can start to piece together the puzzle for yourselves.
I figured you wouldn't be able to tell all and I am kinda glad you didn't. This makes finding out about pets so much more fun! we had figured out while back that we can find pet's primary stat by using the Juju line of powers. As for the pets using their primary stat for Epics I always had a theory that was it but you just confirmed what I had already thought. Just to clarify once more if I have let's say an Ebon Spectre pet who has the Relentless Epic power it will be using it's Will to attack and to possible activate Relentless, correct?
Thank you for all you do and for the clarification!

Question to anyone: trying to calculate the FP of 1/3 cup of coconut milk (So Delicious brand in heavy paper container). I calculated the FP using a GI of 41 and get an FP of 8.95. Does this sound correct? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Days ahead of the deadline by which candidates must report all fundraising from last month, Republican Orlando Lamas announced Wednesday that his campaign has amassed more than $150,000 since filing in March to run for House District 111.
Lamas, a Hialeah-born-and-raised architect and general contractor, is running to succeed Republican Rep. Bryan Avila, who reaches term limits next year and is running for the Miami-Dade County Commission.
Lamas’ campaign reported raising nearly $118,000 through Oct. 31, including at least $40,500 of his own money.
As such, Lamas is claiming to have raised more than $32,000 in November — more than double his best single-month gain since April. His campaign has yet to file its official fundraising report from last month.
“I will continue to work hard to earn the vote of the community where I’ve lived almost my entire life,” he said in a prepared statement, describing himself as a “an outsider with no political agenda.”
Judging by his Twitter page, Lamas appears to be working on becoming less of a so-called outsider. Between August and December, he posted several photos of him and Avila working together in the community, including at backpack and Thanksgiving meal giveaways and a Breast Cancer Awareness Month event.
Other photos show Lamas at the swearing in of Hialeah Mayor Esteban “Steve” Bovo Jr., for whom he campaigned, and at other events alongside Sen. Manny Diaz Jr., Hialeah Council member Jesus Tundidor and Sweetwater Commissioner Ian Vallecillo, among others.
He also attended an event hosted by the Christian Family Coalition of Florida, which “works to introduce pro-family legislation at the state and local levels of government.” Among the group’s causes: opposing same-sex marriage and backing a bill barring transgender women from playing high school and college sports.
From a fundraising perspective, however, Lamas has yet to tap the deep pockets of Tallahassee insiders, lobbyists and political committees. So far, his campaign has been largely grassroots, taking donations from small businesses in South Florida and individual contributions ranging from $5 to $1,000.
HD 111 sits wholly in Miami-Dade County and encompasses Miami Springs, Virginia Gardens and part of Miami, including the county’s top economic engine, Miami International Airport. The district leans Republican and re-elected Avila last November by about 30 points.
Lamas is competing for the Republican nomination against Hialeah Council member Vivian Casals-Muñoz, who works as director of events at the historic Hialeah Park Casino.
Aside from a $10,000 haul in July, Casals-Muñoz has neither raised nor spent anything since launching her campaign in May, according to the Florida Division of Elections.
Lamas, conversely, owns and leads a few Miami-based businesses, including design-build firm Three County Construction, compliance company Fix My Code Violation, and contracting and architecture firm Studio Lamas Architects.
Since earning his master’s of architecture degree from the University of Florida in 2000, Lamas has worked on projects including Dolphin Mall and Bayside Marketplace. He is also co-owner of “multiple hospitality venues in Miami-Dade,” a press note from public relations firm The Frontline Agency said.
Florida Politics reached out to Lamas’ campaign for comment and will update this post upon receipt of one.

Posted on June 23, 2016 in Love Addiction
Are You Addicted to Online Dating?
Dating online can be a valid and even a fun way to meet your mate. If you have had bad luck meeting people the traditional way, like at bars or through friends, online dating represents a great opportunity to meet someone with similar interests and values. However, you can also fall into the trap of dating website addiction. Understand what this means so that you can recognize it in yourself and stop an unhealthy habit before it goes too far.
Are You Addicted to Flirting?
Dating sites are set up for flirting, which is fun. People can poke you and wink at you and you can do it back. The point is that you find mutual interests and then actually meet that person in real life and get to know each other. The act of online flirting can become deliriously addictive, though. It’s fun to see how many people like your profile picture and to flirt with abandon. It’s often easier than flirting in real life and it may act like a boost of self-confidence. If you just keep flirting online, you’ll never find love and a lasting relationship. You have to give up the flirting at some point and meet real people.
Is Online Dating Fueling a Love Addiction?
Love addiction can be hard to identify. It can take many different forms. For instance, your flirting habit online could be a form of love addiction. Does this sound familiar? You find a profile of a dater who seems perfect for you. He’s attractive, likes the same things you do and is looking for love. You flirt online, maybe talk on the phone or go out on one date. You like him, but then you feel the urge to go back to the dating site. You scroll through profiles, certain that there’s someone even better just around the corner. You can’t settle on one person because of all the possibilities, and it becomes like an addiction.
Using Dating Sites Responsibly
Dating sites can be your solution to finding real and lasting love, but be aware of the possibility that they can also create and fuel a love addiction. Dating site addiction is a new form of love addiction. Just like other types of love addiction, it will prevent you from finding your true love. To use dating sites in a healthy and productive way, start by limiting your time spent on them. Once you have a couple of dates lined up, cut yourself off from the sites completely. Go on the dates and decide if you like anyone. If you truly don’t, then you can go back to your dating sites and try again. Be responsible about online dating and you will find your mate.

|FDA Comment Number :||EC84|
|Submitter :||Mr. M Danke||Date & Time:||08/19/2005 08:08:56|
|Organization :||Mr. M Danke|

| A while back, I was a prospective juror. The prosecutor was trying to eliminate possible jurors by asking a how small an amount of illegal drugs would count toward a conviction. She was asking if 'Just a tiny speck' would count. This being Texas, she found her jurors. There being Washington, I'm not so sure that 'Just a tiny speck' might be allowed. So let me be clear - I'd prefer zero tolerance.
It takes me a lot of extra time to research packaged food and related supply chains. Many times, the ingredient label is inconclusive and requires a phone call, where I can be put on hold for 20 minutes or more, per product. I generally carry my cell phone while shopping for this very reason. Websites often do not carry ingredient information. The amount of packaged food I've purchased has plummeted as a result. It takes too long to pick my way through the minefield.
If you adopted a ruling that included some 'allowable' gluten in packaged products, I would consider the label 'gluten-free' useless, which would result in even more time spent researching products. In fairness, such a label, if widely adopted, might allow me to definitively rule out products that didn't carry the designation.
Although it's in your purview, you did not address in your call for comments a pressing problem with medications. So-called 'inactive ingredients' can include starch made from wheat. There are several (hundred?) medications that are regularly prescribed that Celiacs cannot knowingly safely ingest. Although clarity in medication is a most pressing need, the concept could be extended to vitamins and other supplements, as well.

New York, NY, May 10, 2012- With President Barack Obama’s recent announcement of support for same-sex marriage, GLAAD today is urging both local and national media to highlight the voices of supportive African-American and Latino clergy who feel that all loving couples should be able to marry, regardless of sexual orientation. These beliefs are not tied to party affiliation, andspeak to the evolution of people of faith, including clergy, on this issue.
A 2010 Bendixen & Amandi International poll found 74 percent of Latinos support marriage equality or other forms of legal recognition for gay and lesbian couples. A Public Religion Research Institute poll found that a majority of Latino Catholics and a third of Black protestants support marriage equality.
We ask that any journalist who is reporting on these stories consider including the following supportive voices:
Rev. William Barber, (North Carolina): President, North Carolina NAACP and pastor, Greenleaf Christian Church Disciples of Christ, Goldsboro, NC 120 year old congregation with over 400 members and 30 active ministries.

Glacial lake outburst flood
A glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) is a type of outburst flood that occurs when the dam containing a glacial lake fails. An event similar to a GLOF, where a body of water contained by a glacier melts or overflows the glacier, is called a Jökulhlaup. The dam can consist of glacier ice or a terminal moraine. Failure can happen due to erosion, a buildup of water pressure, an avalanche of rock or heavy snow, an earthquake or cryoseism, volcanic eruptions under the ice, or if a large enough portion of a glacier breaks off and massively displaces the waters in a glacial lake at its base.
A glacial lake outburst flood is a type of outburst flood occurring when water dammed by a glacier or a moraine is released. A water body that is dammed by the front of a glacier is called a marginal lake, and a water body that is capped by the glacier is called a sub-glacial lake. When a marginal lake bursts, it may also be called a marginal lake drainage. When a sub-glacial lake bursts, it may be called a jökulhlaup.
A jökulhlaup is thus a sub-glacial outburst flood. Jökulhlaup is an Icelandic term that has been adopted into the English language, originally referring only to glacial outburst floods from Vatnajökull, which are triggered by volcanic eruptions, but now is accepted to describe any abrupt and large release of sub-glacial water.
Glacial lake volumes vary, but may hold millions to hundreds of millions of cubic metres of water. Catastrophic failure of the containing ice or glacial sediment can release this water over periods of minutes to days. Peak flows as high as 15,000 cubic metres per second have been recorded in such events, suggesting that the v-shaped canyon of a normally small mountain stream could suddenly develop an extremely turbulent and fast-moving torrent some 50 metres (160 ft) deep. Glacial Lake Outburst Floods are often compounded by a massive river bed erosion in the steep moraine valleys, as a result, the flood peaks increase as they flow downstream until the river reaches, where the sediment deposits. On a downstream floodplain, it suggests a somewhat slower inundation spreading as much as 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) wide. Both scenarios are significant threats to life, property and infrastructure.
The United Nations has a series of monitoring efforts to help prevent death and destruction in regions that are likely to experience these events. The importance of this situation has magnified over the past century due to increased populations, and the increasing number of glacial lakes that have developed due to glacier retreat. While all countries with glaciers are susceptible to this problem, central Asia, the Andes regions of South America and those countries in Europe that have glaciers in the Alps, have been identified as the regions at greatest risk.
There are a number of imminent deadly GLOFs situations that have been identified worldwide. The Tsho Rolpa glacier lake is located in the Rolwaling Valley, about 110 kilometres (68 mi) northeast of Kathmandu, Nepal, at an altitude of 4,580 metres (15,030 ft). The lake is dammed by a 150 metres (490 ft) high unconsolidated terminal moraine dam. The lake is growing larger every year due to the melting and retreat of the Trakarding Glacier, and has become the largest and most dangerous glacier lake in Nepal, with approximately 90 to 100 million m3 (117 to 130 million yd3) of water stored.
The most famous are the immense jökulhlaup released from the Vatnajökull Ice Cap in Iceland. It is not by chance that the term jökulhlaup (jökull = glacier, hlaup = run (n.)/running) comes from Icelandic, as the south of Iceland has very often been the victim of such catastrophes. This was the case in 1996, when the volcano under the Grímsvötn lakes belonging to the Vatnajökull glacier erupted, and the river Skeiðará flooded the land in front of Skaftafell, now part of Vatnajökull National Park. The jökulhlaup reached a flow rate of 50,000 cubic metres per second, and destroyed parts of the Hringvegur (Ring Road or Iceland Road #1). The flood carried ice floes that weighed up to 5000 tons with icebergs between 100–200 tons striking the Gigjukvisl Bridge of the Ring Road (the ruins are well marked with explanatory signs today as a popular tourist stop). The tsunami released was up to 4 metres (13 ft) high and 600 metres (660 yd) wide. The flood carried with it 185 million tons of silt. The jökulhlaup flow made it for several days the 2nd largest river (in terms of water flow) after the Amazon.
After the flooding, some icebergs 10 metres (33 ft) high could be seen on the banks of the river where the glacier run had left them behind (see also Mýrdalsjökull). The peak water release from a lake that develops around the Grímsvötn Volcanic Crater in the center of the Vatnajökull ice cap generates flows that exceed the volume of the Mississippi River. The outbursts have occurred in 1954, 1960, 1965, 1972, 1976, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1991 and 1996. In 1996, the eruption melted 3 cubic kilometres (0.72 cu mi) of ice and yielded an outburst of 6,000 cubic metres (7,800 cu yd) per second at peak flow.
Some jökulhlaups release annually. Lake George near the Knik River had large annual outbreaks from 1918 to 1966. Since 1966 the Knik Glacier has retreated and an ice-dam is no longer created. Lake George might resume annual floods if the glacier thickens again and blocks the valley (Post and Mayo, 1971).
Almost every year, GLOFs occur in two locations in southeastern Alaska, one of which is Abyss Lake. The releases associated with the Tulsequah Glacier near Juneau often inundate a nearby airstrip. About 40 cabins could potentially be affected and a few have been damaged by the larger floods. Events from Salmon Glacier near Hyder have damaged roads near the Salmon River.
Contiguous United States
Immense prehistoric GLOFs, known as the Missoula Floods or Spokane Floods, occurred in North America's Columbia River watershed toward the end of the last ice age. They were the result of periodic breaches of ice dams in present-day Montana, resulting in the draining of a body of water now known as Glacial Lake Missoula. The immense floods scoured the Columbia Plateau as the water raced toward the ocean, resulting in the Channeled Scablands topography that exists today across Central and Eastern Washington.
Glacial River Warren drained Glacial Lake Agassiz during the Wisconsinian glaciation; the now mild Minnesota River flows through its bed. This river seasonally drained glacial meltwater into what is now the Upper Mississippi River. The region now termed the Driftless Area of North America was contemporaneously also subject to glacial outburst floods from Glacial Lake Grantsburg, and Glacial Lake Duluth during all three phases of the last ice age.
Between 6 and 10 September 2003, a GLOF occurred from Grasshopper Glacier in the Wind River Mountains, Wyoming. A proglacial lake at the head of the glacier burst through a glacial dam, and water from the lake carved a trench down the center of the glacier for more than 0.8 kilometres (0.5 mi). An estimated 2,460,000 cubic metres (650,000,000 US gal) of water were released in four days, raising the flow level of Dinwoody Creek from 5.66 cubic metres (200 cu ft) per second to 25.4 cubic metres (900 cu ft) per second, as recorded at a gauging station 27 kilometres (17 mi) downstream. Debris from the flood was deposited more than 32 kilometres (20 mi) along the creek. The GLOF has been attributed to the rapid retreat of the glacier, which has been ongoing since the glacier was first accurately measured in the 1960s.
A flood caused by a glacial lake outburst flood on December 13, 1941 killed an estimated 1,800 people along its path in Peru, including many in the town of Huarez. The cause was a block of ice that fell from a glacier in the Cordillera Blanca mountains into Lake Palcacocha. This event has been described as a historic inspiration for research into glacial lake outburst floods. Numerous Peruvian geologists and engineers created techniques for avoiding such floods and exported the techniques worldwide.
In 2003, a jökulhlaup drained into Lake Tuborg on Ellesmere Island, and the events and its aftermath were monitored. The ice-dammed lake drained catastrophically by floating its ice dam. This is an extremely rare occurrence in the Canadian High Arctic, where most glaciers are cold based, and ice-dammed lakes typically drain slowly by overtopping their dams.
GLOFs occur with regularity in the valleys and low lying river plains of Bhutan. In the recent past, flash floods have occurred in the Thimphu, Paro and Punankha-Wangdue valleys. Of the 2674 glacial lakes in Bhutan, 24 have been identified by a recent study as candidates for GLOFs in the near future. In October 1994, a GLOF 90 kilometres (56 mi) upstream from Punakha Dzong caused massive flooding on the Pho Chhu River, damaging the dzong and causing casualties.
In 2001, scientists identified Lake Thorthormi as one that threatened imminent and catastrophic collapse. The situation was eventually relieved by carving a water channel from the lip of the lake to relieve water pressure.
The Strait of Dover is thought to have been created around 200,000 years ago by a catastrophic GLOF caused by the breaching of the Weald-Artois Anticline, which acted as a natural dam that held back a large lake in the Doggerland region, now submerged under the North Sea. The flood would have lasted several months, releasing as much as one million cubic metres of water per second. The cause of the breach is not known but may have been caused by an earthquake or simply the build-up of water pressure in the lake. As well as destroying the isthmus that connected Britain to continental Europe, the flood carved a large bedrock-floored valley down the length of the English Channel, leaving behind streamlined islands and longitudinal erosional grooves characteristic of catastrophic megaflood events.
Even though GLOF events have been occurring in Nepal for many decades, the Dig Cho glacial lake outburst, which took place in 1985, has triggered detailed study of this phenomenon. In 1996, the Water and Energy Commission Secretariat (WECS) of Nepal reported that five lakes were potentially dangerous, namely, Dig Tsho, Imja, Lower Barun, Tsho Rolpa, and Thulagi, all lying above 4100 m. A recent study done by ICIMOD and UNEP (UNEP, 2001) reported 20 potentially dangerous lakes in Nepal. In ten of them GLOF events have occurred in the past few years and some have been regenerating after the event. Additional dangerous glacial lakes may exist in parts of Tibet that are drained by streams crossing into Nepal, raising the possibility of outburst incidents in Tibet causing downstream damage in Nepal. The Gandaki River basin is reported to contain 1025 glaciers and 338 lakes.
Thulagi glacier The Thulagi glacier, which is located in the Upper Marsyangdi River basin, is one out of the two moraine-dammed lakes (supra-glacial lakes), identified as a potentially dangerous lake. The KfW, Frankfurt, the BGR (Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources, Germany), in cooperation with the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology in Kathmandu, have carried out studies on the Thulagi Glacier and have concluded that even assuming the worst case, a disastrous outburst of the lake can be excluded in the near future.
Longbasaba and Pida lakes are two moraine-dammed lakes at an altitude of about 5700 m in the Eastern Himalayas. Due to the rise of temperature, the areas of the Longbasaba and Kaer glaciers decreased by 8.7% and 16.6% from 1978 to 2005. Water from glaciers directly flowed into Longbasaba and Pida lakes, and the area of the two lakes increased by 140% and 194%. According to the report of the Hydrological Department of Tibet in 2006, if a GLOF had occurred at the two lakes, 23 towns and villages, where more than 12,500 people live, would have been endangered.
In Tibet, one of the major barley producing areas of the Tibetan Plateau was destroyed by GLOFs in August 2000. More than 10,000 homes, 98 bridges and dykes were destroyed and its estimated cost was about $75 million. The farming communities faced food shortages that year by losing their grain and livestock.
The 1818 Giétro Glacier catastrophe, killing 44 people, originated in a 4-km long valley located in south-western Switzerland. Fatal flooding was known during historical times with 140 deaths first recorded in 1595. After an increase of the glacier during the "Year Without a Summer", an ice cone started to form from the accumulation of falling seracs. During 1816, the valley filled into a lake which emptied during the spring of 1817. In spring of 1818, the lake measured about 2 km in length. To stop the rapid rise of waters, the canton engineer Ignaz Venetz decided to drill a sluice hole through the ice, tunneling from both upstream and downstream sides of the ice dam at an elevation of about 20 metres above the lake surface. An avalanche interrupted work, so a secondary tunnel was then drilled for safety reasons as the waters rose to 10 metres below. Dangerous sloughing of ice delayed the work until finally a 198-metre-long hole was completed on 4 June, days before lake began to escape via the manmade waterfall on 13 June. Venetz warned the inhabitants of the valley of the danger as water was also escaping from the base of the cone. However, the cone began to crack on the morning of 16 June and at 16:30 the ice dam broke sending 18 million m3 of flood waters into the valley below.

I think people are asking the wrong question. To me its obvious that Chapman at his best is more valuable as a starter. The real question is whether Chapman as a starter is going to be good, meh or awful. Many don't want to acknowledge that all three outcomes are possible and just assume that he'll be as good three times through the order as he is for three hitters, but that is what the Reds are trying to guage right now. I think the only way to find out is to try it for 3 or 4 months. But if it fails, it could undermine the season. I see why its not an automatic choice, but I'm in favor of trying it. I wouldn't be surprised if he struggles the second time through the order though. I think many here don't acknowledge that possibility.

It's a strange place and time for this Pennsylvania man with a dripping Deep South accent to finally be living out his dream.
Bruce Arians, a 60-year-old NFL head coach in the desert?
And yet part of his ongoing success or failure there always will be tightly tied to York County and his adopted home state.
Peel back one layer at a time.
One of the men he will be working for is highly respected Arizona Cardinals' general manager Steve Keim, a Red Land High graduate in Lewisberry.
"It was like, 'Holy cow!'" said Arians, who attended York Catholic and graduated from William Penn. "We were laughing because I said one of the best meals I ever had was at Culhane's Steakhouse. And (Keim) said, 'I used to live right around the corner from there.'"
Then, when piecing together his new NFL staff, he quickly hired one of his former players from Temple University in Philadelphia, two former assistants with the Owls and former colleagues with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Of course, it's still difficult to make sense of the past 12 months of a football life so transient, one so rich and yet always a step short.
"No one ever wrote a manual for how to handle all of that," he said by phone last week.
To understand the man better, just look back to York County.
Arians and his wife still return to the area to visit family and friends, though the trips have grown fewer.
In particular, he stays in touch with two of his former coaches from decades ago.
Former York mayor Charlie Robertson coached Arians in American Legion baseball. Gary Markle coached him in junior varsity basketball.
Robertson, now 77, says Arians is "like a son to me," and recounts traveling to see him when he coached at Temple and when his NFL teams came to Baltimore.
"But we all follow him, the whole team follows him," Robertson said, referring to the other legion baseball players from the 1960s who are still around town.
Meanwhile, Markle just sent Arians a letter.
It wasn't so much congratulations for his new job as it was about what the former tough teacher thinks of him as a person.
"He was one of the first athletes I had who you could tell there was something special about, and you could tell back then," said Markle, 71.
"You have to be outstanding in your skills, but it's also about your character and integrity and the way you conduct yourself. He's never lost touch with who he was and where he came from, the important things in life."
Over the years, Markle has stayed in touch with Arians through golf outings and phone calls.
"Even though he's in a high-octane business, he's one of the good guys," Markle said."
Most striking is how Arians' spotlight grew in the past year after a career of behind-the-scenes success.
The upheaval, and eventual unforeseen highlights, began forming after he was forced out by the Pittsburgh Steelers in January of 2012.
He was packing up a last load of furniture and headed to his family's lakefront home in Georgia when his cell phone buzzed.
Arians told his wife that it was Indianapolis' head coach and good friend Chuck Pagano.
"She said, 'Oh, you're going to take that job aren't you? I said, 'Let's just see what he has to say.'"
In the end, Arians became an offensive coordinator again and tutored another rookie star quarterback (Andrew Luck), just like he did with Peyton Manning more than a decade before.
Then, the well-documented roller coaster truly began to fly.
Arians took over the Colts after Pagano's stunning leukemia diagnosis. He led a surprising 9-2 run that drove Indianapolis into the playoffs.
Then a brief illness hospitalized him in Baltimore where he missed the Colts' playoff loss.
Then he landed his first head coaching job with the last available team.
Then he was named NFL Coach of the Year, as an assistant.
"The most gratifying coaching experience I ever had," he called this past year with the Colts. "Just dealing with all of those young guys . . . The most fun I had in coaching."
That, of course, is coming from the guy still respected for his long-ago work at Temple, a yearly back-against-the-wall situation. And the one who won two Super Bowls with the Steelers and coached in a third.
"One thing I learned from Temple is how to delegate," he said. "I tried to do everything when I was a head coach (there).
"Now, I say (to the assistants), 'Guys, just do your job. No more or less, just do your job."
Already, at least some are buying in.
"Do you understand how gigantic the Bruce Arians hire was?" Adam Schein wrote for NFL.com. "There is no hypothetical attached to Arians. You don't have to wonder how the longtime assistant will fare in the head-coaching role. Arians became a head coach last year under the most difficult circumstances . . . and handled it with aplomb.
"The organizational demands that come with being a head coach, the day-to-day dealings, aren't foreign to him. He lived it. He dominated it."
Arians talked about how much "easier" it will be with six months and more to prepare for an NFL season rather than just days.
All the while, the email and phone calls and letters of support keep pouring in, especially from York County.
"I was so proud of him, the way he handled himself with such humility through (this past year)," Markle said.
"It's just heart-warming in today's world to see that kind of story, where a guys earns what he got, and it's a long-time coming. You can finally say, the good guys do win every now and then."

Protecting the Quarterback While Battling Crohn's Disease
Being a professional athlete is physically demanding enough, but add in a chronic digestive disease to the physical challenge, and you’ve got yourself one super human. Matt Light, who recently retired after spending his entire career with the Patriots as an offensive tackle, was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2001, his rookie year. Crohn’s is a bowel disease that causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive system.
“Crohn’s is a nasty disease that people have trouble opening about,” Light says. Since retiring, Light has been involved with Crohn’s disease awareness and works closely with Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America. In 2002, he established the Matt Light Foundation, which strives to instill leadership in young people.
“I was inspired by the efforts behind the Kraft Family Foundation,” Light says. “When we talk to our kids, what they do and feel is real. We want to spend time with them. We hold kids accountable, talk to them about ethics, what it means to be responsible, and how to be leaders in their community.”
As for his own health, Light says, “I showed symptoms [of Crohn’s] when I was in college. I was stressed and had terrible stomach aches.” He had intestine surgery in 2004, and since then, he took an aggressive approach by being proactive with his nutrition. He makes sure he is staying educated about his disease, and helping other patients stay educated as well. “CCFA has so much knowledge about drugs, but you can’t leave everything up to everybody else. You have to take an active role in your disease, and can’t leave everything up to other people because it won’t be done right,” he says.
Dr. Daniel A. Leffler, a clinical research director at Beth Israel’s Celiac Center says that conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, a sensitive stomach, and digestive diseases like Crohn’s are good reasons to give a gluten-free diet a try. Light says he sees a regular gastroenterologist at Mass. General Hospital, and while he doesn’t eat gluten-free, he does eat healthy. “Eat as healthy as possible,” Light says. “No greasy foods. Find alternatives to sugar, more natural food sources, and utilize nuts and beans for protein. But in retirement, I’m not taking in as much calories as I was when I was playing.”
Light also now receives an infusion therapy called Remicade, which is an injection used to relieve symptoms, and a treatment option he did not take advantage of when playing in the NFL. This is one of the many reasons he is so involved with helping patients act early to get the help they need and find what therapies work for them.
“I played nine years with a horrible disease. A message that gets lost in the shuffle is that you can get through anything,” Light says. “We’re small, but we’re mighty. The kids are the heart and soul of the foundation. The best thing I leave them with is that it’s not the end of the world.”

Obamanomics in a NutshellTopics:
Arthur Brooks, president of AEI, on CNBC: "The rich makers are redistributed to the rich takers. That's basically what Obamanomics is all about."
Timothy Carney writes at The Examiner:
[...] He's talking about the fiscal cliff legislation, which, by my math, hiked taxes on the rich to (almost) pay for tax breaks for big business.
Brooks's formulation is important in two ways: (1) demonstrating the falseness of Obama's populist justifications of government meddling, and (2) correcting the common GOP misconception about how redistribution works today.
Mitt Romney's "47 percent" comments embodied the confusion about Obamanomics that persists in parts of the Right. The problem today is not Congress and the administration taking money from you and giving it to shiftless lazy people who don-t work. The problem is Washington taking money from people who are creating value and redistributing it to companies that have the best lobbyist and the coziest connections to government.
The sooner the media understands Obama doesn't govern as a populist, the better. The sooner conservatives stop worrying about welfare queens -- and starts worry about corporate welfare queens -- the better.

I am the mother of a six year-old child whose favorite foods I can count on one hand. He will not touch oatmeal, he is not interested in steak, he doesn’t like mustard, and he cannot be bothered to eat a pea. This is my life, people! I live with a picky eater.
When the announcement for Adam Mansbach’s new book You Have to F**king Eat came out, I was elated. Finally, someone is telling the truth about what it’s like to try to feed small children. I cannot explain how many times I’ve wanted to throw a bowl of spaghetti across the room because my child refused to eat it due to the fact that it had sauce on it. You see, he only eats pasta with parmesan cheese.
Here are some eloquent words from Mansbach’s tale of parental truth:
The sunrise is golden and lovely,
the birds chirp and twitter and tweet
You woke me up and asked me for some breakfast,
So why the fuck won’t you eat?
Adam, have you secretly been in my kitchen Sunday mornings? Because my entire life is on this page.
This book speaks my truth. Both of my children have said these words “I’m hungry!” And then I offer them five options of potential things to devour. They promptly refuse all five options, but do not have another suggestion for what they can eat.
One page in this book that truly resonated with me was about the moment you open up your kid’s lunch box at the end of the day:
How was school hun? Whoa, your lunch box is full.
How are you not passed out in the street?
How is it you’re smart? How the hell are you growing
When you basically don’t fucking eat?
Let me tell you something, Adam, this is why I stopped packing my kid lunch and let him eat school lunch. Every single day I would open his lunch box expecting to see it empty. Lo and behold everything was still in there that I packed him that morning.
This book is genius. It is what every parent is thinking when their child refuses dinner. So, you want to win a copy? Enter below!
My picky eater is 5! He will only willingly eat chicken (with potatoes), cheesey pasta, grilled cheese and hotdogs.
My other kid eats anything except pasta….
I SO want this book!!!! My kids make me CRAZY during dinner.
SI in particular. She can make herself puke out of pure spite.
Story. Of. My. LIFE. I stopped battling over every bite, and now I’m left with a kid whose favorite foods = the only foods he eats. I can fit them all on one hand, too. And I love Adam Mansbach’s first book so very much. Thanks for the giveaway!! xxx+o
Oh gosh. My son is SUCH a picky eater. He likes vegetables for the most part, but hates meat.
my HUSBAND!! he wont eat coconuts, squash, zucchini, black olives…. pretty much all of the best stuff lol

PIERCE COUNTY -- A 69-year-old man who is in custody as a suspect in the shooting of his adult son and daughter pleaded not guilty in court on Monday.
Michael Patrick League has been charged with first-degree murder in the March 24 death of his daughter, Danielle Faucett, 43. He was also charged with the attempted murder of his son, Dennis League, 46.
League was arrested early Sunday morning after he called 911 shortly before 3:30 a.m. and said he had shot his children. Court documents state that when police spoke with League, he told them about a host of family issues and that he had planned to kill his children for about an hour before shooting them.
Court documents said that League told the 911 dispatcher he had "shot his son and daughter in the head" and "had committed a father's worst sin." He added that his son was moaning and that he wanted to shoot him again. League also said he was armed and intended to kill himself. He later told police he called 911 because he didn't want his wife or grandchildren to find their bodies.
Faucett died shortly after the shooting and his adult son is listed in critical condition at Tacoma General Hospital, but court documents said he is not expected to survive.
When police arrived at the scene, they found a gun and a pillow on the kitchen counter where League said he had left them. Police also removed League's wife and his two young grandsons from the home, they were unharmed and unaware of the shootings.
League's wife told police that her son had an alcohol problem and that Faucett suffered from schizophrenia. She said that living in the home with them, and Dennis League's two young sons, 6 and 7 years old, created a "difficult" situation for herself and her husband.
She also told detectives that she and her husband had been out of town and when they returned on March 22, the house was a mess. She said that when they returned, they learned that police had been called to the home because of a dispute between Dennis League and Faucett. She also told police that when she and her husband had discussed their family's issues in the past, her husband had said "he should just shoot 'em, shoot us all," but that she did not believe he was serious.
League's wife said that he was on medication for depression, pain, respiratory issues and high cholesterol, but that he had not been drinking on March 23 when she went to bed.
League appeared in a wheelchair and no bail was set. He remains in custody in Pierce County Jail.

Vacations are supposed to be full of fun and adventure, but it’s not uncommon for travelers to suffer from illness or injury when they’re far from home. For one thing, indulging in rich and exotic foods can lead to digestive issues, as can exposure to contaminants like malaria, giardia, parasites, E. coli, and salmonella (just to name a few possibilities). And being trapped on a plane for several hours, along with suffering from jet lag and running yourself ragged, could definitely contribute to a weak immune system and the onset of a cold. But digestive distress and a little sniffle don’t necessarily qualify as emergency situations. What if you experience serious injury or illness when you’re far from home? Will you be prepared to get the care you need? Do you even know how? Here are just a few tips to ensure that you are well taken care of if you experience a medical emergency while you’re on vacation.
The best thing you can do in any emergency situation is be as prepared as possible. For this reason it is important to ensure that you have any needed medication on hand. If, for example, you have a heart condition, it’s probably not a bad idea to refill your nitroglycerin prescription before you go. And if you suffer from severe allergies that could lead to anaphylactic shock, make sure to bring an Epi-pen when you travel. Taking these precautionary steps could save your life in an emergency situation, especially if there is a language barrier and time is of the essence. This brings us to another good point, though, which is that you should try to learn pertinent phrases in the native language of the country you’re traveling to. The phrases “help”, “emergency”, and “call an ambulance” should definitely be at the top of your memorization list.
Of course, you should also gather information about emergency services available at your destination, including hospitals and pharmacies in the immediate vicinity of your lodgings. And you may want to learn emergency numbers. Not every country uses 911; in fact, this number is only good for emergency services in North America and a few other parts of the globe. Some European nations, Australia, and several other countries use 112, a handful of countries use 999, and in some countries the codes are only two numbers. You might even find that there are different numbers that must be dialed for police, fire, and medical emergencies. Of course, this won’t do you much good if you can’t communicate the emergency, but as long as you can give an address you’ll at least have help coming your way. Don’t forget that “0” is pretty much universal for operator, which means a live person that can connect you to emergency services if all else fails.
Finally, you’ll want to write down all of your pertinent medical information and keep it on you in case you fall unconscious. This includes your blood type, allergies, current medications, next of kin, and insurance information. Of course, you might also want to call your insurance provider ahead of time to make sure that you’re covered in case of emergency (MedicalInsurance websites can often provide you with this information). If not you may need to temporarily expand your coverage or secure appropriate travel insurance before you sail off into the sunset, so to speak.

Passport? Check. Phone charger? Check. Hundreds of dollars to spend on flights, hotels, food and sightseeing? Not so much. Traveling can be tricky when you’re trying to find cheap vacations that fit within your budget and your Instagram page’s aesthetic. We’ve all done the nightly routine of scrolling through Instagram Discover—only to get our travel dreams crushed via expensive destination photos we can barely afford to even look at. This year, we want to break that before-bed habit. Plus, going to bed envious is sure to result in bad dreams and dark circles the next morning.
Luckily, we live in a world where there are plenty of beautiful and fun places to go to that won’t bust up your budget (or your follower count). Besides, even if we don’t have enough vacation time to travel right now, it’s fun to be able to imagine all the idyllic trips we’d take to these budget-friendly locales.
So buckle up, ladies and gentlemen, because our next stop is vacation station. Please keep all hands and feet inside the moving vehicle while we show you 23 genuinely affordable travel destinations that are equal parts fun and photogenic.

2. Lisbon, Portugal
Think 1€ espressos and signature pastel de natas—plus, endless free sight-seeing that’s totally walkable . Every corner of Lisbon holds a new color to capture and an affordable place to sample the local Ginjinha (basically sour cherry liqueur).

Mardi Gras isn’t the only time to travel to NOLA. No matter what time of year you visit, Bourbon Street stays lit (and affordable) AF. Plus, you can’t beat a signature hand grenade cocktail in a souvenir cup for only $5. And trust us, just one of those cocktails will do the trick.
4. Puerto Rico
With tons of inexpensive flights, friendly folks on every corner and a never-ending (free to walk around in) city of color, Puerto Rico is a beautiful, budget-friendly destination.

Spend a few days volunteering to help rebuild the communities devastated by Hurricane Irma and Maria aftermath, and make the most of your trip.
5. Savannah, Georgia
Visiting Savannah, Georgia is just peachy. Walk under the endless oak trees and Spanish moss in Forsyth Park and bask in the beautifully eerie Bonaventure Cemetery for the cost of $0. If you’re lucky, stop by a roadside peach stand and stock up on the local peaches for the rest of your trip!
6. Miami, Florida
In need of a blue water location without the price of an international flight? Miami might be the place for you. Find yourself under the palms of the picture-worthy city, or dabble in the art scene by strolling by the Wynwood Walls of urban graffiti—then, snap a picture in front of your favorites free of price.
7. Glacier National Park, Montana

Walk along the boardwalk for free, or ride with Lime, a battery-powered scooter company that only charges 15 cents per minute, to speed up the sightseeing.

13. Tucson, Arizona
Stroll along the Turquoise Trail or the Mission San Xavier Del Bac to satiate your architecture aesthetic craving, or enter into a world of beautiful photos at the Center for Creative Photography to inspire your next Insta post.
Blue water and picturesque pink sand beaches, here we come! With a short and extremely affordable flight to Bermuda, you can find yourself lying on the beach sipping on their very own Bermuda Rum Swizzle. If that’s not worthy of going up on your feed, we’re not sure what is.
15. Alexandria, Virginia

16. Chiang Mai, Thailand
Trust us when we say, the flight to Chiang Mai, Thailand is worth it—and the price of the ticket doesn’t at all reflect the price of living and eating. While you may spend a little more than expected to get there, you can find hostels and restaurants that are the most affordable you’ve ever visited. $1 USD is equal to 0.032 in the Thai Baht currency. Talk about an affordable international trip.
18. Washington, D.C.

But trust us, if you’re looking for an affordable place to visit with a fun downtown area and some of the best BBQ eats, then Kansas City, with flights under $100 is a great option. Tour the Harley Davidson Plant or visit the Crossroads Arts District (that features around 70 art galleries!) to get a taste of the art scene and a collection of some hardcore Insta-worthy pieces.
21. Memphis, Tennessee
Paul Simon knew what he was talking about when he said, “I’m going to Graceland, Graceland, Memphis Tennessee.” Music lovers have long been visited the city to get a glimpse of Elvis Presley’s home—and to surround themselves with free music. Tip: If you can, get an early start, because entry into the meditation garden at Graceland is free.
22. Grand Canyon, Arizona
Just because the Grand Canyon is a big tourist attraction doesn’t mean you can’t afford to visit it! Check out the free entrance days and plan your visit accordingly to save the most money possible. Once you’re done Instagramming the endlessly gorgeous angles of the Grand Canyon, set your phone down and appreciate the scale of beauty in front of you. It’s more than worth it.
23. Salt Lake City, Utah
With one of the largest lakes in the United States and endless mountains to ski on with lift tickets under $40, Salt Lake City is a perfect spot for family, friend or solo budget traveling. Plus, what looks better on your Insta story than you and your friends hitting the slopes? A good wipeout is quality content.

Former Black Stars and 1899 Hoffenheim striker Prince Tagoe has said he would love to play for Accra Hearts of Oak again before he finally hangs his boots.
Prince Tagoe joined the Phobians on loan from Tudu Mighty Jets in 2005 and went on to become the top scorer of the Ghana Premier League with 18 goals.
He recently returned to Ghana and was training before the 2019/20 league season was suspended due to coronavirus pandemic.
“Hearts is my club. I want to pay my respect to them. The current players can learn a few things from me,” he told TV3.
Hearts of Oak have failed to win any major silverware since winning the league title in 2009.
Many have attributed it to poor management, however, Tagoe claims the club has to properly recruit talents in the coming seasons.
“They should consider dealing with real talents instead of thinking that if a player’s manager is financially okay, they should help push him,” he said.
“The scouting team needs to really up their game because a good player will come but because they came with no manager even if he is good, they will end up picking someone else and leave him.”
He added, “Talent is being overlooked, just look at Charles Taylor’s story. We have to go back to the days of recruiting even at the colts’ level and pick real talents.”
Comparing Hearts of Oak then and now, he continued, “Most of the players who have played for Hearts of Oak loved the team wholeheartedly.”
“Previously, we travel across Africa to win titles but the recent ones find it difficult to do that. It is not because they are not good but they have to play as a team because traditionally, Accra Hearts of Oak is a family.”

The Obama administration has effectively ended the prospects of near-future oil drilling in the Arctic off of Alaska's coast.
The Department of the Interior canceled two auctions for drilling leases in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. (Video via USGS)
The decision came after Shell Oil failed to find significant amounts of oil and chose to walk away from its exploration in the area less than a month ago.
"It does not make sense to prepare for lease sales in the Arctic," said Jewell.
The Department of the Interior also declined to extend the existing leases of oil companies in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, which end in 2017 and 2020, respectively.
Environmentalists are enthusiastic about the announcement. "It's great news for the Arctic and for everyone fighting against extreme fossil fuel projects," said a spokesman for Greenpeace.
But the decision could hurt Alaska's economy, which is already flagging under falling oil prices. And Republicans in Congress, such as Alaska's Lisa Murkowski, want to extend the leases as well.
The companies affected have a few options: They could appeal the decision, wait for a new administration or just accept it and move on.
Moving on may be what at least some of those companies choose to do. Some have already suspended operations in the Arctic due to harsh winter conditions and expensive drilling.

Hello my lovely friends!! Excuse the absence from the blog lately – these past 3 months have been a whirlwind of weddings, engagements, meetings, editing, and traveling and I’m just trying to stay afloat! :) But once again, just as fast as it all came, the craziness of wedding season has subdued. Instead of racing against the clock to finish work, I’m able to have a leisurely workday – just me, myself, Rusty, and that life-changing pot of tea that always brings peace to my mind. I’m even lucky enough to have time to – dare I say – grocery shop!! Oh, the simple joys of life. :)
If you’ve been keeping up with my somewhat stale blog, you would have seen the gorgeous wedding of Kerby & Kailee’s last week. If you haven’t seen it, just take a look. Skim it if you must. Some of my favorite photos to date are from their wedding – I know you’ll love it. :) Go ahead, I shall wait.
Did you love it?! I knew you would. :)
As I said, amidst weddings and work, Paul and I managed to fit some traveling in. Each year, wallets and bank accounts permitting, Paul and I try to travel some place new. We try to take turns picking places (Paul leans towards all-inclusive-don’t-do-anything-but-relax-on-the-beach-with-a-drink-in-hand vacations, while I lean towards something-new-something-adventurous-tourist-type vacations) and this year we managed to fit two trips into our schedules – New York (click here to see that wonderful trip) and……………….California!! :) I picked California because a. my grandparents live out there about 6 months out of the year and I have only visited them once in Cali throughout my whole life (10 years ago to be exact!) and b. it’s warm, the ocean is there and c. DISNEYLAND and d. we both have friends that live in Cali. Although I have more photos to show you (and oh my goodness I cannot WAIT!), today I’m showing you my absolute dream session.
Like I said, one of the reasons we chose California was because we have friends living out there. One of those friends is my childhood best friend, Gina. She moved to California about 4 years ago? Is that right?! Time flies. Anyway, she made a life for herself out there and I couldn’t be prouder – she is dating this amazing guy, Alex (who you will see shortly), she has a good career and she is also an author!! I’m so proud! You can see her series of books here (she’s coming out with a new series soon – you can follow her adult series on Facebook and also her kid series!!) So, when the time came to actually plan our trip, I made sure Gina and Alex were free and up for doing a session on a beach. Anywhere. At sunset. Gina picked the location (I’m in LOVE) and on Saturday around 3:00pm, Paul and I picked up Gina and Alex at their Santa Monica apartment and made the coastal drive up to Malibu and El Matador Beach. The sun was perfect, the ocean was gorgeous, and I was in photography Heaven. :)
So friends, enjoy this tiny part of our trip (want some music to listen to? :)) and stay tuned for more bits of California (and my adorable grandparents :))!! Enjoy and a thousand thank yous to Gina and Alex for trusting me with this session!!! xoxoxo :) :)
To try and save on typing, these are ALL favorites. I just LOVE these.
Ahh!! That light is dreeeeaaammmy.
She has two different colored eyes. :) Isn’t she pretty??
These rocks were life-savers from other tourists and the harshness of open light. Love this place!
I usually don’t have people face the sun but I wanted some water without it being blown out. And I kind of like it. :)
The view from halfway up the top of the cliff. Gorgeous!!
Such models. :)
I was so happy at this point – these two did AMAZING.
Love this!! The water was freezing but these two were troopers!! :)
Are you swooning, friends?!?
Gorgeous you two!!
Oh my. Heaven right here, friends.
My goodness. My heart is full.
Cannot WAIT to show you the rest of our trip, friends!! Happy Tuesday!! :) xoxoxo

Carina Tertsakian, is a senior researcher for the Africa division of Human Rights Watch.
noted that the Rwandan genocide was one of the most horrific episodes in recent history -- not only on the African continent, but worldwide.
"You would think that this should send the influence, international responses, to other conflicts in Africa," she
"At the time, a lot of people were saying never again.
We can't let this happen again, yet we have seen in a number of other countries very serious conflicts in which large numbers of civilians have been killed."
named the Democratic Republic of Congo and Darfur, Sudan as examples of present day crisis situations.
The Human Rights Watch
researcher said it'll take a while before international policies are put in place to prevent large scale atrocities of this kind.
explained there is no blanket formula that would apply in all cases.
"But one of the important lessons that we can draw from the Rwandan genocide is that we should heed warnings.
In the case of Rwanda, in the months leading up to the genocide in 1994, there were very clear signs that the people in power at that time were mounting a campaign of ethnic persecution of people from the Tutsi ethnic group.
There were very virulent anti-Tutsi messages going out in the media.
There were all kinds of preparations that were underway, and the warning bell was struck by several people, several organizations including our late colleague, Alison Des Forges, who tried desperately to alert not only the US government but other member states of the UN, but despite this nothing was done until it was far too late," said Tertsakian.
said 19 years is a short period of time to even think about recovering from such horrors.

The Big Island assis by Simon Lorenzi
I started to think about this boulder right after my quick send of "big island". Two months later i was back in Font for two week. Despite of the bad weather i spent as more time as possible in the boulder trying to figure out the moves and link sections. It took me 6 sessions to succeed the first part. It's tricky and i was not use to kneebar so it was the most complicated part for me.
At the end of the trip i was ready to put some real attempts. The very last day i fell twice to go to the crimp at the end and i thougt "I'm so close in only 8 days. It's hard but no harder than 8c+".
The following evenements showed that i wasn't that close. One week later i was back for two days and i was really confident. But there was always a problem and every solution that i found added a new problem to solve. It took me 15 session more of solving problems and find as much details as possible to reduce my energy depense in the first part. Even the day of the sent i found helpfull new small tricks for my beta. Finally it took me around 25 sessions wich is way more than i expected.
I enjoyed all the processus and the battle for the FA with @camille_coudert_ and @nico_pelorson was really cool. We've spent lot of memorable day at the boulder laughing and pushing ourselves to try hard.
About the grade i feel that is something between a hard 8c+ and 9a. I don't know if it's 9a/ V17 because i don't have enough experience to say and there is no other 9a in the style to compare. It seems that the others guys who tried it think more for the 9a/V17 grade but nobody really knows. After all the reflexions 9a/V17 looks to be the appropriate grade regarding where is our sport now. Have new kind of reference in a level is something important in climbing. That push the sport further and it's also add a new point of comparaison in this grade. As always the time and the repetitions will tell us!
Simon Lorenzi reports on Insta that he has made the sit start of The Big Island. It has been aproject for many years and James Webb has said that just the sit into the stand start is at least 8B+. ” The sit start is an incredible project. For me personally the bottom is at least 8B+ and maybe even harder than The Big Island itself. The intro (10 moves for my method) is very powerful, yet technical with a tricky kneebar that links you through to the stand. Once you’re there you just have to take a deep breath and with absolutely no rest climb the Big Island.”
Lorenzi has not yet suggested a grade, but adding an 8B+ into an 8C (B+) means that it could possibly be the second 9A in the world or a very hard 8C+. The picture by Oriane Tollebeek is from last October when Lorenzi did the Big Island after just two sessions, saying it is possibly 8B+. This 168 cm tall guy has previously done three 8C's, but as they did go down in just one or two sessions, he thought they all just might be 8B+. In 2017, he did his first 9a, ActionDirecte, after eleven days of projecting.

ST. PAUL MN APRIL 28 2017—He was the training director of one of St. Paul’s largest security companies — a man certified on when and how to use Mace.
Police were mystified as to why Timothy Knutsen would pepper-spray an autistic man in the face for eating a cookie from a Cub Foods sampler tray.
Knutsen, 53, of St. Paul, has been charged with two counts of fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct for an incident in Roseville last month.
According to an incident report, in early March, Knutsen was a customer at a Cub Foods at 1201 Larpenteur Ave., when he saw a man eating “a doughnut or a cookie” from the bakery. He told an employee at the store’s service desk, but she said she didn’t see it and there was nothing she could do.
“(Knutsen) was not satisfied with her response,” the complaint stated. He asked to speak to the store’s loss-prevention personnel — people he later claimed he was responsible for training. Statements from his (now former) company, American Security, as well as Cub Foods, dispute that.
The cookie eater — a 20-year-old Roseville man who was not identified because he has autism and is classified as a vulnerable adult — paid for his groceries and began making his way back to the deli/bakery area again. Knutsen fell in a few steps behind, the complaint stated.
Thirty seconds later, a store employee heard the Roseville man yell.
The man told police “he went to get a cookie from the bakery where it says ‘free cookie.’ As he did that, a man sprayed him in the face with Mace. (The victim) said that the male did not say anything to him, and he did not get a good look at him.”
Knutsen wasn’t there when police arrived. But he called police two days later to give his side of things.
He said he saw the man taking and eating food, and added that the man “came across to him as a kid that was on drugs.” When asked why he came to that conclusion, Knutsen said the man seemed to be “in a zombie state,” dragging his feet, not swinging his arms and wearing shoes whose heels were “crushed down in back.”
Jonah Weinberg, executive director of the Autism Society of Minnesota, noted, “autism is an invisible disability, and the way it portrays can be misinterpreted to somebody who is trained in a traditional fashion in law enforcement or loss prevention.”
People with autism sometimes have less muscle tone or coordination, and can also be on powerful medications, Weinberg added.
Police asked whether Knutsen felt threatened by the man. Knutsen said no, but said the man “turned abruptly” after Knutsen said “hey” from behind him. He added that he didn’t see the sign for free cookies.
A Cub Foods manager who spoke with Knutsen said Knutsen was a “DT/ASR instructor for American Security” — with the acronym standing for “Defensive Tactics: Aerosol Subject Restraint.”
But Knutsen told police he sprayed the man accidentally, saying that as he was holding the Mace canister — thinking it was a different brand — he “hit the thing with his thumb, thinking that he was just holding it firmly.” He said he took the canister out “as a precautionary, and he just didn’t realize that there was not a safety on the top.” He also said the amount of pepper spray that hit the man in the face was “not a lot.”
“All I can say is ‘wow,’ ” said Stu Robinson, who teaches in the professional peace officer licensing program at Hennepin Technical College, and was the lead “use of force” trainer for Brooklyn Center’s police department for decades. “It doesn’t take a lot (of pepper spray) for it to hurt. That’s why we use it. It’s not fun stuff.”
Taking Knutsen’s statement to police at face value, “If you’re a trainer, you should be very familiar with that (brand of pepper spray),” Robinson added. “It’s just like when a cop would take their gun out. They don’t put their finger on the trigger unless their sights are lined … and they’ve made the decision to shoot. Otherwise, it’s a negligent discharge waiting to happen.
“He says he made a mistake. But that’s exactly why you don’t put your finger on the top.”
Weinberg, of the Autism Society, said he worried about lasting damage to the Roseville man’s mental state, in particular his quest for independence. The police report noted that after the incident, an officer drove the man home, where he lived with his mother.
“The fact that (the Roseville man) was able to go grocery shopping on his own and be independent in that respect is actually a great thing,” Weinberg said. “The Cub for him was most likely a known, familiar place, and now it’s a place where he’s attacked for no reason.
“The vast majority of people with autism live with extreme anxiety, and to have been attacked without warning in a place that was thought to be safe can be even more traumatic.”
Knutsen said he decided to leave when the man began yelling and “everyone was looking at him.” He later turned his car around, “noticed the squad cars and then decided to bring his groceries home first.” When he came back, the police cars were gone, and “he thought it must not have been that serious.”
Knutsen told police he was director of training for American Security, a firm based in St. Paul, that according to its website employs “in excess of 1,500 professionals engaged in security and security-related services.”
The company released a statement Wednesday saying that “when American Security was made aware of the incident, we took immediate and decisive action with regard to Mr. Knutsen’s behavior,” adding that Knutsen was “no longer employed by American Security or any of its related companies.”
“It is vitally important that all security officers understand and recognize the appropriate level of response in any situation. We found his actions deplorable and will be reinforcing our training to continue to reflect our policy of de-escalation,” the statement added.
The company confirmed that Knutsen was formerly director of training, the only person with that title at the company, but was “never involved in any training directly related to loss prevention.”
Knutsen, according to the complaint, told police that he “trained the loss prevention at Cub Foods.” Heartland Security is the loss-prevention company for some Cub Foods locations, including the Larpenteur location, a franchise owned by Jerry’s Foods. American Security acquired Heartland in 2015.
A spokesperson for American Security and Heartland underscored that Knutsen had no role in training Heartland personnel, who also do not carry pepper spray. Cub Foods officials also said Knutsen never provided training to any of their loss-prevention employees.
They released a brief statement saying: “Cub places the utmost importance on customer safety in and around our stores and does not condone the actions the customer took on his own at our Roseville Cub store on March 4.”
Police trainer Robinson said he was amazed by Knutsen’s reasoning, as outlined in the police report.
“It’s not like it’s a felony cookie,” Robinson said. “The point is, why would you confront this guy? Why is that your problem?
“He thought the guy was on drugs. OK, then why would you approach him? If you have any training, you would call 911 and stay back. … What he did was totally nonsensical. Especially if he’s a trainer.”

It was the most complained about marketing stunt in New Zealand - but Hell Pizza's mass condom drop may have spawned more than just a few angry customers.
This week it emerged that the more than 300,000 condoms distributed by Hell in 2006 failed to meet Ministry of Health guidelines.
And it appears that at least one child was conceived by a couple who used the condoms, which had been manufactured in China at a cost of 7 cents each.
The couple, who the Herald on Sunday has agreed not to identify, refer to their now 3-year-old child as "our little Hell Pizza baby". The child is blissfully unaware that he could be an inadvertent by-product of the Hell Pizza campaign.
A Ministry of Health spokeswoman confirmed this week that Hell had destroyed what was left of its condom supply after being notified they failed specifications.
"The condoms supplied by Hell Pizza did not meet the labelling and packaging requirements ...
and therefore did not comply."
But more than 300,000 condoms had already been distributed through a mail drop and sales of Hell's Lust pizza in 2006.
Details of the condom flop are detailed in a raft of documents that have emerged since a Serious Fraud Office investigation into the Hell operation.
Hell director Callum Davies said he was surprised to hear that the condoms may have led to unplanned pregnancies.
"Considering it was the most complained about advertising campaign in history, then surely someone would have picked up on that at the time."
Condoms supplied in New Zealand must comply with the Contraception, Sterilisation, and Abortion Act and the Medicines Act 1981.

Consumers could see bills rise in the coming years after “generous” deals worth £17 billion were agreed with energy firms delivering wind-generated power to homes, a report by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has warned.
Under a scheme agreed by Labour leader Ed Miliband during the last Labour government, but implemented by Coalition ministers, the contracts guarantee that the power firms will be paid even if they fail to deliver energy to households.
Labour MP Margaret Hodge, who chairs the PAC, described the contracts as a “licence for the private sector to print money at the expense of hard-pressed consumers”.
The warning on energy price hikes comes as temperatures across the UK are set to plummet in the coming days.
The Met Office has issued warnings of ice and severe cold weather, with snowfall predicted across central, northern and south-east England as well as parts of Wales and Scotland.
Heathrow Airport could face severe disruption, with forecasters warning there could be up to 5cm of snow in some parts of the country.
Energy bills have more than doubled since 2004 to more than £1,300 a year per household, largely due to rising gas prices.
Bills are set to go up by hundreds of pounds a year under all the Government’s green and fuel poverty policies.
Following the MPs damning report into the wind farm contracts, the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has now said it will “re-examine some of the terms” of the lucrative deals.
The sharp criticism of the Government came in a report on the “elaborate” new system that licences companies to operate assets bringing wind-generated power onshore.
Energy ministers want controversial offshore wind farms to provide up to 15 per cent of the country’s electricity needs by 2020.
That will require around £8 billion of investment in infrastructure such as platforms, cables and substations.
The committee said that long-term licences awarded to energy companies so far “appear heavily skewed towards attracting investors rather than securing a good deal for consumers”.
Under the terms of the contracts the companies are guaranteed an RPI inflation linked income for 20 years regardless of how much the infrastructure is used.
The estimated returns of 10-11 per cent on the initial licences “look extremely generous given the limited risks”, the MPs said.
Ministers stand accused of failing to learn lessons from failed Private Finance Initiatives, with the committee warning that costs from the wind farm schemes will now be passed on to taxpayers.
Mrs Hodge, the MP for Barking, described the way the contracts had been awarded as “shocking”.
“[The energy companies] are guaranteed income even if we don’t use the electricity and if the transmission cables fail they can only get fined up to 10 per cent of the total income coming in,” she said.
“It’s like another PFI. If you create such generous terms people would be mad not to get involved in the market.”
The contracts were awarded to the energy firms in March 2011 but the policy was decided by the last Labour Government, the committee confirmed.
“Not only is it unlikely that this new licensing system for bringing electricity from offshore wind farms onto the national grid will deliver any savings for consumers, it could well lead to higher prices,” Mrs Hodge added.
“Indeed the terms of the transmission licences appear to have been designed almost entirely to attract investors at the expense of securing a good deal for consumers.
“Licensees and their investors are provided with a guaranteed income, increasing annually in line with RPI, for 20 years regardless of the extent to which the assets are used.
“Future payments to licensees are estimated at around £17 billion, and this will ultimately be funded by customers who could well end up paying higher electricity prices.”
The Labour MP said DECC and the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority had wanted to create a “competitive market” for offshore transmission, but the first six licences were awarded to just two firms - Transmission Capital Partners and Macquarie.
“In setting up this new market the Department and Authority ignored vital lessons from previous government experience of PFI, such as the need to share refinancing gains, and it is shocking that the Treasury allowed it to proceed,” the Labour MP said.
Christopher Heaton-Harris, the Conservative MP for Daventry, warned that consumers could be left paying for “redundant” wind farm technology because of the deals.
“This is going to be a sizable chunk of money in the future on top of our bills,” Mr Heaton-Harris said.
“There is every chance that in 15 years you could be seeing huge numbers of redundant offshore wind farms that we will still be paying for.”
A DECC spokesman insisted that the contracts had been designed to “drive value for money” for consumers.
“The offshore electricity transmission regime harnesses competitive forces to drive value for money for consumers,” the spokesman said. “Potential licence holders bid against each other on price in the context of the licence terms.
"With six licences now granted, now is the right time to re-examine some of the terms. We therefore welcome Ofgem's current consultation on them.”
The disclosure that consumers’ energy bills could increase came as a poll showed that the majority of MPs do not trust energy companies to offer genuine competition and provide customers with choices so they can choose between suppliers.
The survey of 92 MPs by pollsters Ipsos MORI found that 86 per cent distrust the companies to “provide clear information so customers can choose between suppliers”.
Of the surveyed MPs, just 10 per cent said they believe energy companies will try to offer “genuine competition” in energy supply.

A fire at Montesano Health and Rehab forced an evacuation of the building, and of all patients.
According to the Montesano Police Department, on Wednesday around 5:30pm, firefighters were called to the facility on North Medcalf Street that provides care for patients recovering from injuries or surgery or receiving end of life care.
When crews arrived, they found heavy smoke and flames from the roof at the north end of the building.
Facility staff had begun evacuating patients at the first sign of smoke.
All 77 patients were safely removed from the facility into the parking lot.
The approximately 29 staff on duty and several neighbors assisted in evacuating patients.
The Montesano Fire Department crews began fighting the blaze before requesting additional resources from other departments.
Approximately 50 firefighters responded from agencies throughout Grays Harbor and the region.
The Washington State Fire Marshal’s office authorized a State Mobilization which allowed from additional resources from regional fire departments.
Ambulance strike teams from Pierce, Thurston, and Pacific counties were dispatched to assist with patient care and transport.
The Montesano School District and Grays Harbor Transit supplied buses to transport patients in wheelchairs.
Most of the patients were transported to Montesano Junior High.
Two patients needing a higher level of care were transported to regional hospitals.
The regional Disaster Medical Coordination Center was activated and is working on placing patients into other facilities.
At this time there are no reported injuries from the fire.
It took just under 3 hours to bring the fire under control.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
November 6, 2009
OFELIA RODRIGUEZ, ET AL., PLAINTIFFS,
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Hon. Thomas J. Whelan United States District Judge
ORDER OVERRULING PLAINTIFFS' OBJECTIONS TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S MAY 15, 2009 DISCOVERY ORDER
Pending before the Court are Plaintiffs' objections to Magistrate Judge Jan M. Adler's May 15, 2009 discovery order. Judge Adler denied Plaintiffs' requests to (1) reopen the deposition of Chief Patrol Agent Michael Fisher; and (2) compel production of members of the Disciplinary Review Board ("DRB") for deposition or, in the alternative, compel the production of all documents reviewed by the DRB in deciding to take "no action" against Agent Faustino Campos following the shooting death of Guillermo Martinez.
The court decides the matter on the papers submitted and without oral argument pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(d)(1). For the reasons discussed below, the Court OVERRULES Plaintiffs' objections (Doc. Nos. 99, 108).
I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
On December 30, 2005, Decedent Guillermo Martinez, along with four other persons, attempted to enter the United States near the San Ysidro port of entry. Defendant U.S.A. asserts that Decedent was smuggling aliens.
As Decedent and the other persons came to the secondary fence, Agent Campos approached in his vehicle. When Agent Campos exited his vehicle, Decedent ran and Agent Campos gave chase. During the pursuit, Agent Campos fired his weapon striking Decedent beneath the shoulder blade. Despite being shot, Decedent continued to run, re-entered Mexico, and proceeded to a hospital. Decedent later died due to the gunshot wound.
Plaintiffs filed their Complaint on December 20, 2006 for wrongful death under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Under the Amended Case Management Order, the discovery cut-off was set for December 9, 2008.
On October 9, 2008, Plaintiffs propounded requests for admission ("RFAs") on Defendant U.S.A. (See Singleton Decl. [Doc. 108-2], Ex. H at Ex. 2.) Requests 17 and 18 sought an admission that no U.S. Border Patrol agent or employee, and no agent or employee of any agency or office of the U.S. Government, made a determination regarding whether Agent Campos' shooting "was consistent with the polices and procedures adopted by the [U.S.] that govern the use of deadly force by law enforcement officers of the U.S." (Id., Ex. H at Ex. 2, p.2.)
On November 12, 2008, Defendant responded to the requests by stating, in part, that no such determination had been made. However, Defendant advised Plaintiffs that the DRB reviewed Agent Campos' use of force to determine whether there was any evidence of misconduct that would warrant administrative discipline, that the DRB found no such evidence, and that the DRB did not impose discipline of any kind. (Singleton Decl., Ex. H at Ex. 3, pp. 3--4.)
On December 16, 2008, Plaintiffs sent Judge Adler a letter identifying a "list of discovery issues...." (Def.'s Ex. Part I [Doc. No. 116-1], Ex. 5 at p.1.) Among the issues, Plaintiffs sought to depose DRB members who reviewed Agent Campos's use of force, and Plaintiffs requested all documents the DRB reviewed in reaching its decision. (Id.)
On January 15, 2009, Judge Adler held a discovery hearing. During the hearing, Defendant agreed to respond to two additional interrogatories regarding whether a determination was made that the shooting was consistent with the policies and procedures adopted by the U.S. governing the use of deadly force. (Def.'s Ex. Part I, Ex. 7 at p.13; Def.'s Ex. Part II [Doc. No. 116-2], Ex. 8 at pp. 3--4.) Judge Adler then denied Plaintiffs' requests regarding the DRB, subject to Defendant responding to the interrogatories. (Def.'s Ex. Part I, Ex. 7 at p.15.)
On January 16, 2009, Defendant U.S.A. sent Plaintiffs a letter stating that Defendant reserved the right to offer testimony as to the DRB and its conclusion about the shooting at trial. Based on this reservation, Plaintiffs renewed their demand to depose the DRB members and for production of the DRB's documents. (Singleton Decl., Ex. G at pp. 1--2.) Later, another dispute arose between the parties regarding whether Plaintiffs could re-open the deposition of Chief Patrol Agent Michael Fisher.
On May 15, 2009, Judge Adler held another discovery hearing regarding the two issues. Judge Adler ultimately denied Plaintiffs' discovery requests. Plaintiffs' objections followed.
II. STANDARD OF REVIEW
A party may object to a non-dispositive pretrial order of a U.S. Magistrate Judge within ten days after service of the order. See FED. R. CIV. P. 72(a). The magistrate judge's order will be upheld unless it is "clearly erroneous or contrary to law." Id.; 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A). The "clearly erroneous" standard applies to the magistrate judge's factual determinations and discretionary decisions, including an order imposing discovery sanctions. Maisonville v. F2 America, Inc., 902 F.2d 746, 748 (9th Cir. 1990) (holding that factual determinations made in connection with sanction award are reviewable for clear error); Grimes v. City and County of San Francisco, 951 F.2d 236, 240 (9th Cir. 1991) (holding that discovery sanctions are non-dispositive pretrial matters reviewable for clear error under Rule 72(a)). Under this standard, "the district court can overturn the magistrate judge's ruling only if the district court is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been made." Weeks v. Samsung heavy Industries Co., Ltd., 126 F.3d 926, 943 (7th Cir. 1997).
On the other hand, the "contrary to law" standard permits independent review of purely legal determinations by a magistrate judge. See, e.g., Haines v. Liggett Group, Inc., 975 F.2d 81, 91 (3d Cir. 1992) ("the phrase 'contrary to law' indicates plenary review as to matters of law."); 12 CHARLES ALAN WRIGHT, ARTHUR R. MILLER & RICHARD L. MARCUS, FEDERAL PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE § 3069 at 350 & 355 (2d ed. 1997);
Gandee v. Glaser, 785 F.Supp. 684, 686 (S.D. Ohio 1992), Aff'd 19 F.3d 1432 (6th Cir. 1994) ("Thus, [the district court] must exercise its independent judgment with respect to a magistrate judge's legal conclusions.").
Plaintiffs object to Judge Adler's ruling denying Plaintiffs' request to (1) re-open the deposition of Chief Fisher, and (2) compel Defendant U.S.A. to produce the DRB members for deposition or, in the alternative, compel Defendant to produce all documents reviewed by the DRB in deciding whether to take "no action" against Agent Campos. For the reasons stated below, the Court will overrule both objections.
A. Chief Fisher's Deposition
Judge Adler denied Plaintiffs' request to re-open Chief Fisher's deposition because
(1) Plaintiffs were given the opportunity to ask additional questions immediately after the conclusion of the original deposition, and (2) since Chief Fisher was a fact witness, Plaintiffs' counsel was responsible for asking any necessary follow-up questions. Plaintiffs object on the ground that Judge Adler erred in finding that Chief Fisher is a fact witness, and not an expert witness.
But as Defendant U.S.A. acknowledges, Chief Fisher will not be offering expert opinion at trial. Instead, his testimony will consist of factual information about the U.S. Border Patrol's mission, organization, operations, as well as how the Border Patrol conducts investigations. Given Chief Fisher's position, his testimony will be based on his experience and perceptions, and does not constitute expert opinion.
Moreover, the Court also agrees with Judge Adler's finding that Plaintiffs were given an opportunity to ask additional questions at the conclusion of Chief Fisher's deposition and, later, in the form of written interrogatories. Plaintiffs chose not to ask follow up questions.
For these reasons, Plaintiffs' objection is overruled.*fn1
B. The DRB Discovery
Judge Adler denied Plaintiffs' request to depose members of the DRB and for the production of documents that the DRB reviewed in determining that administrative discipline was not warranted against Agent Campos. These documents consist of the San Diego Police Department's report of the shooting, and internal memos from the Office of the Inspector General ("OIG").
Plaintiffs object that because Defendant U.S.A. intends to introduce evidence at trial regarding "the DRB or its conclusion..., Plaintiffs must be permitted to depose the three (3) members of the DRB and review any and all documents reviewed by the DRB in making its decision." (Obj., 8:18--22.) In short, Plaintiffs' objection is premised on the theory that they have not been permitted to conduct discovery relating to the DRB. The Court is not persuaded.
Apparently, Plaintiffs did not learn about the DRB until approximately November 12, 2008, when Defendant, in responding to Plaintiffs' RFAs, discussed the DRB's review of the shooting. While Plaintiffs suggest that this delay in learning about the DRB is somehow attributable to Defendant, the record establishes that Plaintiffs are responsible. Specifically, until propounding the RFA s two months before the discovery deadline, Plaintiffs did not propound an interrogatory calling for information related to the DRB's review of the shooting. During the hearing, Plaintiffs argued that certain previously propounded interrogatories required Defendant to disclose the DRB's review. However, having reviewed the transcript, the Court agrees with Judge Adler's finding to the contrary. Accordingly, Plaintiffs' insinuation that their dely in learning about the DRB is attributable to Defendant U.S.A. lacks merit.
Moreover, the record establishes that the documents Plaintiffs seek were either produced or identified on a privilege log months before the discovery deadline. (Singleton Decl., Ex. A at pp. 29--36.) Specifically, Defendant produced the police report, but refused to produce the internal OIG memos and therefore listed the memos on a privilege log. Plaintiffs, however, did not challenge Defendant's refusal to produce the OIG memos until after the close of discovery. Plaintiffs again attempt to justify their inaction on the ground that they were unaware of the DRB. But as discussed above, Plaintiffs are responsible for the delay in learning about the DRB.
Finally, having reviewed the transcript of the May 15, 2009 hearing, the Court also agrees with Judge Adler's concern regarding the relevance of the documents sought, particularly in light of this Court's previous rulings. However, at this time, the Court will refrain from deciding whether evidence concerning the DRB is admissible at trial.
For the reasons stated above, Plaintiffs' objections are OVERRULED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Check this out – I’m the first ever Weight Loss Success Story at DietingSmarter.com! Click here to read the article about me!
There’s been something that’s been weighing on my mind since last week, when I flew back to Los Angeles from San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was a long travel day – my first flight, from San Juan to Charlotte, North Carolina, was 3.5 hours, and after a two-hour layover in Charlotte, I boarded my second flight, bound for Los Angeles, which took 5.5 hours.
It wasn’t a fun or easy travel day. The Charlotte-to-Los Angeles leg seemed unending, but the San Juan-to-Charlotte leg… well, it was thought-provoking. And I’m curious for your opinion. My readers are a vocal bunch – so keep reading, and then share what’s on your mind in the comments section, if you would!
I’ve written about air travel on this blog before – specifically, how much less stressful flying has become now that I’ve lost a significant amount of weight. I no longer worry about my excess pounds spilling over the armrests and invading the personal space of the passenger next to me. I can use my tray table as much as I want without my belly getting in the way, and I have no trouble returning it to its original upright and locked position. And I no longer need to use a seat belt extender – the seat belt fits comfortable around my waist, thank you very much!
The post where I discuss all these changes, called “How a 400-Pound Man Flies,” has proven to be one of the most popular posts in the history of this blog, and I just read it again myself (you can read it here). I was prompted to write that post in the first place because I was seated across the aisle from a man who reminded me of my former self. Seeing him gingerly make his way down the aisle brought back years of memories of me doing the same thing – trying my best not to bump into other passengers, and seeing others look away, certain they were praying that I didn’t have the seat next to them.
On that flight, I was seated across the aisle from my former self. On my San Juan-to-Charlotte flight, I was seated next to my former self.
The plane was a Boeing 767, outfitted with a 2-3-2 seat configuration, and the other guy (I don’t know his name, so let’s call him Al) had the window seat, and I had the aisle. There was no middle seat. Al was already seated by the time I made it to our row, and I saw him make the subtle shift that I was oh-so-familiar with: a slight adjustment so he was leaning more towards the wall of the plane, with a second slight adjustment so his left arm and shoulder would be a little more out of my space and in his. It didn’t do much good, because Al was a big guy. I don’t know how much he weighed, especially since Al was probably 8 or so inches shorter than me, but his excess weight protruded up and over the armrests.
Even with my weight loss, I wouldn’t say I’m comfortable on planes – I’m taller than the seats, so there’s no place to put my head or my legs, and my shoulders are as broad as the seat, so I fill my space nicely. I still appreciate when I end up sitting next to smaller or shorter people, but when I saw I had the seat next to Al, I wasn’t bummed, and I wasn’t pissed. I immediately smiled at him. I knew flying must be difficult and annoying for him, and I was glad, for his sake, that he was seated next to someone who wasn’t going to a big deal, or a little deal, or any kind of deal over sitting next to him.
Oh my. I fear those last couple sentences may come off as self-righteous, and that’s not my intent. I only mean to say that I’ve had my share of flights where I’ve sat next to people who see me and roll their eyes, deliberately sigh, and make all kinds of other passive or subtle indications of their disappointment or disgust. I’d wager that Al has, too. And I’m not, and never will be, one of those eye-rollers, because I’ve been at the other end, and it feels awful. There’s nothing worse that having the thing you’re most self-conscious about pointed out or referred to in an uncomfortable setting.
Al and I didn’t talk the whole flight, save for a few words at the beginning, when he asked me to get up so he could retrieve something from his bag. For most of the flight, we both had our headphones in, and I turned my attention to my book. I spent a majority of the flight leaning into the aisle a little, to give Al some notion of space, and, all told, it wasn’t a terrible flight (not nearly as bad as the excruciatingly long Charlotte-to-Los Angeles flight).
This is where you come in: For a long time, ever since I began building an audience of readers with this blog, I’ve occasionally gotten comments or suggestions that I should approach people and let them know about it. After I published “How a 400-Man Flies,” a number of people suggested I pass out cards at the airport, encouraging people to read my blog. The whole idea irks me a little bit, because 1) I’m not a natural schmoozer, and 2) If someone approached me at the airport about anything regarding my weight, I’d be mortified.
Here’s my question for you: Is there anything I could have said to Al to let him know that, in a way, I’m a kindred spirit who understands what he might be feeling? How could I broach the subject?
The truth is that what I know about Al is astronomically less than what I don’t know about Al. He might already be on his own weight loss journey. He might have already lost a significant amount of weight. I don’t know. This might be his first time on an airplane. I don’t know. Maybe he’s been an airplanes tons of times, and maybe he has no feelings of shame, like I did. I don’t know.
I could have nonchalantly passed him my blog business card at the end of the flight, but I didn’t have any business cards on me (I brought a nice stack with me on my travels, but had passed them all out to family and friends). Maybe I could have pulled out my laptop and shared some ‘Before and Current’ pictures with him. I suppose my goal could simply be to kindly let him know that I walked in his shoes for a long time, and that change is possible. And I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out if there’s a polite, respectful, kind way to do that.
What do you think?
Share your comments below. OH – and be sure to come back tomorrow, I have a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
Keep it up, David!

REDDING, Calif. - The Haven Humane Society said they see a spike in pets being adopted before Christmas but a lot of times those pets end up coming back.
CEO of Haven Humane Society, Mark Storrey said it's because people forget the responsibility that comes with having a pet.
"People will think it's a really great idea to get a puppy for the kid and they don't think about everything that a puppy entails," said Storrey. "They don't come house trained, you gotta house train them, they don't come with their own chew toy, you gotta provide these and if you don't then the couch is a chew toy."
Every year a few weeks after Christmas more dogs end up at the shelter.
Storrey said if you received a pet for Christmas there are a few things to remember that can make the experience less stressful.
One is to develop a relationship with your new pet. Get to know it. Spend time with it. Also make sure they have food, water and toys.
Storrey also said potty training can be hard, so stick with it and make sure you reward them for good behavior.
When correcting a behavior don't wait to do it, say no immediately.
Storrey said teaching your new pup new things can be stressful, but you have to be consistent.
"You need patience, patience, have a lot of patience," said Storrey.

Those who watched television in the 1990s are likely to remember one of the decade's most successful sitcoms, Home Improvement, starring Tim Allen. The show featured a man who ran his own tool and home renovation show. Naturally, he liked to make his own repairs around the house, but - much to his family's dismay - most of the time the repairs did not turn out as he had planned.
Now, Home Improvement was a bit of an exaggeration; most handymen who host their own shows have the ability to make repairs around the house in most areas. But if you really pay attention to these shows, you will notice that when it comes to big jobs in specialized areas (and that includes plumbing and electricity) almost all of the "building" genre shows call on professionals to make the repairs for them. This is true whether you are watching House and Home or any number of the fix them up shows so popular today.
Our main point here is that if men and women who make their careers in offering home repair advice need help from professionals a significant part of the time, why is the individual home owner any different? There seems to be a prevailing attitude in our society that all gifts are given out to all people, and this has come to affect our day-to-day lives. The simple truth is that there are many jobs that are beyond the capacity of the individual to handle, and when you are talking about home renovations, do-it-yourself attempts can be nothing short of disastrous.
This is especially apparent in the specialized areas of your home that we mentioned above; an amateur job on re-wiring electricity or on your pipes can really lead to some huge problems, problems that can lead to additional repairs and expenses. However, problems may occur even with smaller jobs, such as re-tiling your bathroom. The most common problem is that the do-it-yourself person runs out of energy before the job is done, leaving the area looking worse than before, sometimes for years! No one wants to have a pair of unfinished kitchen cabinets staring at them each and every morning!
All of this will eventually come back to haunt you. You will either have to finish the repairs or attempt to sell your house with the repairs undone, usually to another dreamer with ideas about his or her own renovation skills. It is much better to cut expenses and time by hiring the services of a professional who can get the job done for you, and avoid those home renovation disasters.

The question of the efficiency of hybrids has been an issue for both media headlines and general discussion boards including interviews. The subject of concern has actually been whether the hybrids are more efficient as compared to those that are conventional. This paper explores whether the hybrids are better in their efficiency than any other make.
The issue that touches on efficiency has been something that many people who want to invest in buying a new car consider. This has been the case particularly for those who want to try hybrids. Hybrids demand the dimension of a car, the engine power and its fuel utilization rate.
Efficiency in this case means the amount of usage and benefit in relation to the amount of energy invested on a car for example. Examples of hybrids include battery dormant motor hybrids that use electric energy and compact fluorescent bulbs (Sandalow, 2009).
Hybrids are hard to find and maintain especially in developing countries making them inefficient. They are not maintenance and cost friendly to many people (Thorpe, 2007).
Hybrids have been perceived not to be ineffective as people would not have expected. Manufacturing hybrids in the first place has been found to be more expensive than conventional engines. They require particular provisions from manufactures that have to do with resistance, usage, grip, and traverse quality and clamor level. Thus they require a lot of attention and more expensive materials making them inefficient (Sawyer, 2004).
Hybrids require a higher amount of energy as compared to conventional engines. Although they use electric power, the electric power hey require is higher in terms of energy as compared to conventional engines. So hybrids are not energy efficient. This is especially the case with large hybrid engines (Anderson and Anderson, 2010).
Hybrids for instance compact fluorescent bulbs save heat and produce a lot of light. Nevertheless they are twice as expensive as convention incandescent bulb. So although incandescent bulbs do not last long enough they can be bough cheaply as many tomes as they burn making fluorescent bulbs that are hybrids inefficient in terms of cost (Icon Group International, 2008).
With the above factors hybrids are convenient to use but their maintenance and availability and cost issues make them inefficient. Many people have a preference towards conventional things than hybrids.

Formed in Miami, Florida, USA, 1968, the origins of NRBQ (New Rhythm & Blues Quintet) were actually in Louisville, Kentucky a few years earlier. There, Terry Adams (14 August 1950; keyboards) and Steve Ferguson (b. 1947, Louisville, Kentucky, USA; guitar) were members of a group called Merseybeats USA. Moving to Miami, the pair joined with New York musicians Frank Gadler (vocals) and Jody St. Nicholas (b. Joseph (Joey) Spampinato, 29 January 1948; bass/vocals), then working with a group named the Seven Of Us. Tom Staley (drums) and the horn section of Keith Spring (saxophone) and Donn Adams (trombone) completed the line-up of the newly minted NRBQ, who then relocated to New Jersey. They were signed by Columbia Records in New York and released their self-titled debut album in 1969. From the start, NRBQs music was an eclectic mix incorporating rockabilly, avant garde jazz, pop rock, country, blues and novelty songs - their first album included songs by both...

Quote of the Day
Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have Immortal longings in me.
The yogi offers his labyrinthine human longings to a monotheistic bonfire dedicated to the unparalleled God. This is indeed the true yogic fire ceremony, in which all past and present desires are fuel consumed by love divine.
The human longings that are deep inside of us never go away. They exist across cultures; they exist throughout life. When people were first made, our deepest longing was to know and be known. And after the Fall, when we all got weird, it's still our deepest longing - but it's now also our deepest fear.
People are fretful about lifestyle retailing because the idea that anyone's immortal soul and deepest longings can be quite so readily anticipated and consolidated with several hundred thousand other like-minded types is worrying.
How many precious things do we not already possess which others have not - have hardly an idea of! Let us enjoy these, then, and bless God that we are permitted to enjoy them, rather than importune His goodness with vain longings for more.
Jane Welsh Carlyle
Whether you want to entertain or to provoke, to break hearts or reassure them, what you bring to your writing must consist of your longings and disappointments.
I've spoken with friends who are rabbis and priests and we've agreed that most people have an emotional attachment to their faith, a desire to fulfill their spiritual longings, but they are not experts in understanding the history of their religion.
Feisal Abdul Rauf
I know not what you believe of God, but I believe He gave yearnings and longings to be filled, and that He did not mean all our time should be devoted to feeding and clothing the body.
The familiar mood that awaits the sensitive young who are poor and dispossessed is a mood of sharp and painful inferiority, of violently angry tensions, of desperate and overwhelming longings.
That powers my desire to write: the sense of how quickly everything on the surface of life can be cut away and you can suddenly be inside the most inner part of the most inner life of a person. What does it feel like there, and what are the regrets and sensations and longings, and what is the music of it?
Reagan's emotional intelligence, his ability to suss out people's longings and to channel them for political purposes, was better than just about any human being that ever lived.
I remember having crushes and longings, but there were all these missed opportunities or things that seemed like such a big deal, but you really don't understand what the other person is going through.
God too longs; and because the Absolute Life itself, which dwells in our life, and inspires these very longings, possesses the true world, and is that world.

The Consciousness Has Shifted...The Awakening Has Begun
I BELEIVE EVERYONE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH ET CONTACT GOT BIG EXPERIENCE, UNFORTUNATELLY IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD . HERE IS MY STORY. IS GOOD STORY, I HAVE SOME BAD STORIES TOO AND I TILL TELL ABOUT THEM TOO. BE REE TO ASK ME ANYTHING AND SHARE YOUR STORIES
It is most likely that what you see/know is true.. and always more difficult if it is in Astral form as sometimes gets confused with dreams.
So share what you feel you should with us.
Each day ask your Spirit Guides for protection with the only other beings allowed to interact with you are ones that give you a positive experience. Those that are not good ask your Spirit Guides to keep them away from you. You can ask the same for this website too... :-)
Oh there are a few souls here that may criticize you. We all here feel sorry for them as they have no life. So just ignore them..
thank you for understanding
i accept good and bad comments/ critics on my videos , everyone have them own opinion
Do you have any of the information you received posted somewhere to read? If so can you provide a link.. otherwise are you intending to post it in the future.
L & L Dave
I got 3 partial memories of ufo dreams or contact, but they just stop.
1 i was walking near the store i usually buy groceries, remember walking towaars it in color. Store was closed, o lights, no people. Above a light pole hang a grey ufo. Dream stops.
Another one, woke up in bedroom and couldn't move at first but got up. Panicked a bit as I saw it outside. Should I run towards it or out the frontdoor?. I decided to go towards it, dream stops after opening balcony door.
A last one. Felt it 'out there', intensely curious, light as a feather i ran out towards it. Backyard had changed, nothing nearby no houses,bushes in usualplace, things were 'changed'. Different reality feel. It lande after i think it should land. Read my mind. Silently. It was white bell shaped ufo. A being came out. Took a device out in its hand of some ind. Had long convo in mind. Felt normal. Had some deep connection to that being. Felt like myself. Woke up amazed and just had to draw it. Still cannot believe it. But it felt so real. And it left imprint in my mind.
Still to this day, got 3 dreams in color in mind. While i usull y have zero dreams since 2012 awakening experience. Or nightmares only. Usually zero reams except a ufo dream every 2 years. And it's really clear. Also had a unpleasnt dream with someone touching me and i couldn't move, it actually hurt. But woke up in last minute, drenched in sweat and heart beating out of chest. Couldn't move or scream.. that pain. Someone touching me all over body. Mostly in head, nose, face.
I found out my mom had some dreams, 20 yrs ago, after mentioning mine.
I don't remember much details from mine, except it felt real. Remember being at home when it happened. And remember the other one at the store.
I dont take dreams as real, but it does feel like i have contact to some advanced civilization with the last dream too, not sure .... there was something strange...telepathy and all
and the joy... indescribeable
i felt like 5yrs old again... magnetic to the ufo
i certainly didnt want to wake up
I remember zero of what that being told me, cant even remember its shape
thats the weirdness
but remember speaking to it
usually cannot remember shapes. It could just be a strange dream.
Later come to talk to other experiencers, they are often very similar to me, not in dream necessarily, just in consciouenss, what they value in life. How they talk. Wht they do for living.
For some reason I've come to believe in that these ets, whoever they are, help upgrade mankind. Also due to my moms dreams. And due to my awakening where I started seeing them in dreams.
But also believe there are both good,bad ets out there. Greys may not want to help us. Mostly help themselves.
Resonate a lot pleiadian.
In fact when I talk to a pleiadian, its like 100% my thoughts,words,emotions ... like they can read my mind. Eeven over the internet.
feels like my soul.
never tried that in my life with humans.
My mom said they cured her of cancer, and she was sucked up through some tunnel, and talked so someone sananda or such named.
She confirmed a time,place where I had my first sleep paralysis in my life. 1996. 20 yrs ago at time of asking.
She had been to doc many times.
Ovarian cancer. Gone next day.
It seems ufo dreams like synchronicity unfolds more and more. More details keep coming up. I remember bits and pieces here and there. But initially I only remembered first 2mins of waking, then nothing was remembered.
Then later day, dreams again/or intens einterest in et material.
Even started channeling pleiadians to find out.
It turned out my bro called me saying there is a ufo, up to my encounter. 15miles from where I live. But if it is a dream i dont know. He hasn't confirmed it. Such strangeness. Overlapping of reality and dream.
I tried asking him, he wouldnt answer.
But he was very scared when he called me. I wasnt really scared in my dreams.
I had to comfort him i remember, lol
He saw one at the beach where he lived. Days after my dream.
And much more strangeness, illness no doc can find, deaths, noting electronic in house working,,, 3 computers burned out, laptop batteries exploding, batteris exploding.
Almost set building on fire a few times. Got lucky.
Severe pain. Never been in so much pain in my life. No doc can find it.
Then it turns out, many et experiencers have this pain too i later find out. Could be coincidence?
many are empaths like me too
many are intuitive too
and mny say they feel pain i their bodies due to being empaths, suck up from environment. So living in big cities can actually make them sick.
But I know my body is a computer, with cellular memory. It learns all the time.
I feel others pain more, worse than my own.
So not sure if that could be the cause of my severe illness, been REALLY sick since 2012. No doc could help me.
Pain no words can describe....
I had my first ufo dream in 2013, then 3 in total since it seems.
I too am in contact but have not had such concrete, tangible, and exciting experiences as you. Be that as it may I am intimately familiar with one of the more well known and prevalent Feline ET Races, The Paschats (Sometimes Called the lyrans, even though they live in Sirius b and other places too). My dear beloved twin flame (who I am in very close contact with psychically) and my star family are all Paschats. They are human in their shape, their head shape is similar to that of a panther, their whole body is covered in a coat of fur, they have tails, whiskers, cat ears, the works,and come in a larger variety than earth felines do :) lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, lynx, cheetahs, so on and so forth.
But I have never been so privileged as to even so much as see points of light moving around in the sky (I get kind of salty about this sometimes to be honest)
But I have through my third eye have seen the interior of one of these ET shuttle crafts, so at least there is that.
To be perfectly honest I had a whole paragraph typed critiqueing this posting method. Also, why take us to a youtube with more text when you can just paste it here. I omitted it though.
Thank you i like video, i didn't want to write in my post as it would become too long, it is hard to focus on the unconsciousness and focus on a video at the same time (dig for repressed parts in psyche is hard).
Maybe make your video a little slower, I had to pause it slightly.
You are good at drawing, maybe you can make a career out of that
I don't believe it is random who "is contacted"
It often seems to be alternative people, alternative lifestyle, crystals etc. , at least in many cases, not all of course.
I certainly wasn't alternative for many years, but my life has changed around 180. Before I studied science, now I work as a psychic.
Support both ufos, angels, reincarnation now !:)
And afterlife etc.
My mom is also the most alternative person I've ever met. SO that confirms my suspicion, it is often alternative people who have the experience. Fits with those I've seen.
I also got strong resonation with pleiadian, ashtar/federation of light, sirian council/sirian. It keeps coming up. In fact I fall over people who are in contact with sirians and they speak just like me / know all i know.
If you've had experiences, likely you've tried such a thing
Meeting people like yourself in strange ways, or other experiencers
Then finding out you're very similar
That guy talked to cat people in his mind :D
He even held seminars to learn to talk to them
walking cat people = sirians, as he said
or cosmic brother hood
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU MEET ONE WHO IS AT LEAST AS REALIZED AS YOU
Thanks for sharing your stories Elmira :) really enjoyed... i have connections to andromedans as one of the groups , this being one of my main 3-4 attributes..
Please do not copy or re-use this photo without my express permission. It is a work in progress painting of myself and my twinflame and starparents ( only got my mother in for now in that version)
Thank you for beautiful pic
Interesting, I haven't personally seen the sirians
one thing i think i remember, they didnt look like either video in thread, or your pic
but i cannot remember the shape
Tend to have strong resonation with pleiadians
It is fun I never remember shapes in astral. I can have long conversations with people, but never remember shapes. It might be my adhd. Unable to remember people's names too in daily life.
I never remember shapes in astral, just strange
Focused on anything else, the love, the flying feeling etc.
The freedom.... astral freedom
But have a strong feeling it was real somehow. And that feeling hasn't left me for 3 years now.
Never tried any dream like it. ANd have had flying dreams whole life.
Maybe you got flying dreams too/you two
Hve the most weird dreams of anyone i know... remember in color flying on top of every house i've ever lived. So... 10 houses
Still got color pictures in my mind!
Def. not usual dreams
i post it on youtube and then copy link and past there
about other ways i dont know :(

Menu was simple enough, wings with increasing craziness of spiciness. I like hot and spicy, but I have a pretty low tolerance for it, so I went for the good old original New York buffalo wings and some steak chips.
The soul of these wings were in the sauce, wings were deep fried and frankly could be any wings. I would have them more plump and much more meaty if I had it my way.
Steak chips with blue cheese dip & chive
Of course, the owners, Mike and Nick being super nice people was just an added bonus. They are proud of their product and were proud to talk about it. A quick lunch snack turned into a 90min chat before I knew it.
And if, just by the off chance, you are not into wings, get a jar of orange buffalo sauce. Smother your ribs with it, marinade your pork chops with it, coat your chicken legs with it, spread your chicken burger with it... Do whatever, but your kitchen deserves it, because your tastebuds want it!

Water, and the ocean in particular, has always held a powerful presence in my life.
I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, on the shores of Biscayne Bay with the world-famous Miami Beach and the Atlantic Ocean at my doorstep. My earliest and fondest childhood memories center around family trips across the Everglades to Marco Island, on the west cost of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. There my little brother and I would spend hours hunting for seashells on Marco’s white, powdery sand beaches; and my father would delight in waking me up just before dawn so that we could splash in the waves and watch the sunrise together.
I was your classic water baby.
Now I'm a water mama, with three precious water babies of my own; and I feel so fortunate to be raising them in Vancouver, BC, where they can share those same experiences of hunting for seashells and splashing in the ocean that were such an important part of my own childhood.
But while many of the beaches in B.C. are safe and clean, there are too many places where pollution from combined sewer systems and industrial runoff make swimming a risky proposition at best.
Last summer I had an experience that impacted me profoundly - I participated in a race as part of the Big Chop Paddle Series on False Creek, an urban waterway at the heart of Vancouver. My son, eldest daughter and I had just finished a race on a stand-up paddle board and were heading back in to shore. It was a typically hot summer evening, and the water looked inviting enough, so my kids told me they wanted to jump in and swim the short distance to the beach.
My first instinct was to say yes, but then I remembered the water quality results that we'd been sharing through Swim Guide that month and my gut tightened. E-coli levels were within guidelines for paddling, but were far too high for safe swimming. Feeling the kind of fear that only a mother feels for the safety of her children, I shouted to the kids: "Stay out of the water!"
They were confused at first; my son was too young to fully understand the danger, but my daughter became visibly upset and defiantly leapt in. I panicked. Throwing all caution to the wind, I jumped in after her and pulled her from the polluted water. She kicked and screamed as I waded to shore and begged to just put her body into the water for even a little swim. Thankfully, after a couple of long, hot baths at home, we managed to avoid getting sick.
This experience powerfully reinforced why I sacrifice so much to keep Fraser Riverkeeper strong and viable. Families must be able to make happy memories on the water without having to worry about the threat of polluted or unsafe water. Whether it's my daughter or your own kids, no child's Watermark should be of contracting a waterborne illness from swimming in their community.
We all owe it to ourselves, and especially to our future generations, to ensure a swimmable, fishable, drinkable future for us all.

When it comes to being a data-driven marketer, you might have some impressive results over your career, but no matter how well you do overall at your job, there’s always going to be a time when somebody will look at you under the microscope of skepticism.
There will always be somebody who will question you, making you feel the work you’ve put in isn’t as good as you think it is. In this kind of situation, if enough people think this way about the effort you put into your work, then you’ll end up questioning yourself, making you think you’re not as good as you really are.
There’s a good chance that it’s not that your information is bad, but it might be how you are using storytelling to convey your message. If you can improve your storytelling, then things might actually improve with all of those folks who looked down on you before.
Amy Hebdon has an column that can help you learn how to optimize reporting with storytelling, and why it works.

The virtuous circle of causation and compassion
What Wright does, which is cool, is to flip the relationship between seeing causation and feeling empathy around: once we start empathizing with people, we are better able to see and accept that there is a causal story behind their behavior (“Thus does love lead to truth”). We’re less likely to cut short our explanations by blaming the supposedly self-caused agent. And, he says, once we see the genetic contingency of our special love for our immediate family, we might be able to expand our circle of empathy, and therefore of causal understanding. This in turn (I extrapolate here) will lead to more empathy as explained above. A nice virtuous circle.
Of course as he points out, some people tend to get depressed by the Darwinian "selfish gene" explanation for familial love, thinking such love isn't real. But to explain isn’t to destroy, only explain. Unless, that is, you’re wedded to dualism and think it’s the case that the soul or something immaterial is essential for anything valuable. Which would be too bad, since the physical world has cooked up some pretty amazing and sometimes even loveable phenomena.

|Catering:||Restaurant de l'Observatoire; Buvette Le Vuipay; Restaurant Ermitage|
|Time of year:||June to September|
Following the mountain trip to the Moléson a visit to rooftop terrace of the cable car station is worth every minute, as views are phenomenal – extending from the Lake Geneva basin, over the magnificent Montblanc as far the Bernese Alps. And just out front a hiking trail takes you to neighbouring Teysachaux. The ridge hike presents no special difficulties, other than requiring a little more attention on the short but steep climb to the Teysachaux summit - and perhaps the use of your hands. The initial stretch on the descent direction Belle Chaux is pretty steep as well. Replenishing resources is no problem thanks to the welcoming Le Vuipay mountain restaurant, just a hundred meters offside the hiking trail, with specialities including alpine cheeses of own production. Over beautifully scented meadows in bloom and on through cool woodland forests, you then reach your destination, namely the popular Les Paccots holiday resort. Another highly recommended option is walking the additional loop-hike from Belle Chaux to the traditional Buvette (mountain-style catering) Saletta, which takes roughly an hour. From here you then make your way back beneath the Dent de Lys to Grevalla and on to Les Paccots.
The careful planning of a tour will ensure that you also derive the maximum pleasure and enjoyment from it. Please take the time to contact the local information centre and enquire about route and weather conditions before setting off. Your intended trail may be fully or partially closed, depending on the time of year and weather conditions.

While most of us will never come close to being able to afford a home in this price range, it's fun to dream. There is actually a great deal of variety in the "$50 million plus" range, from urban penthouses, to sprawling estates to beachfront paradises, so I decided to come up with a little sampling of what the big bucks could buy you. Who knows? Maybe you'll come into some cash.
12 E 69th Street, New York, N.Y. -- Listed for $114 million
This 20,000-square-foot townhome-style mansion on New York City's Upper East Side was built in 1884 and has been completely renovated. Spread over six stories, the home offers seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a 2,000-square-foot roof deck, a 23x12 indoor swimming pool, and one of the most luxurious and elegant living environments in all of New York City. The location is also spectacular, in the heart of the Fifth Avenue shopping district, and just steps from Central Park.
Address unpublished, Hobe Sound, Fla. -- Listed for $72 million
This 5.5-acre Jupiter Island oceanfront compound was custom built in 2010 for singer Celine Dion and has more than 400 feet of ocean frontage. The 18,000-square-foot estate features a main house as well as five additional buildings, including a double four-bedroom guest house, a tennis house, a pool house, and a beach house. To keep the entire family entertained, there are a total of three pools, two of which are connected and share a custom water park feature.
384 Delfern Dr., Los Angeles, Calif. -- Listed for $75 million
This 15,520-square-foot colonial estate has 10 bedrooms, 12.5 bathrooms, and is situated on a seven-acre parcel of land, which is huge for Los Angeles. This extremely luxurious home has incredible attention to detail and some of the most high-end features available.
151 E 58th St, New York, N.Y. -- Listed for $98 million
This 9,000-square-foot condo has one of the most impressive views of Central Park and New York City from its soaring living room, which features 24-foot ceilings. This home has some of the most up-to-date technology on the market, and every room features a touchpad that controls lighting, temperature, window shades, and other functions.
172 Bliss Canyon Rd, Bradbury, Calif. -- Listed for $68.8 million
This impressive estate features a 32,000-square-foot main house with 40-foot ceilings as well as a guesthouse over its 10-car garage. The property also has a pool house with a state-of-the-art gym, 15-person hot tub, and a 1 million gallon trout pond that is temperature-controlled.
This is just a sampling of the upper tier of U.S. real estate, and it doesn't include the most expensive homes on the market.
For those who dream of being able to afford one of these "trophy homes," consider this: According to Trulia, the cheapest of these would translate to a $335,871 monthly payment on a standard 30-year mortgage, and that is assuming a 20% down payment of almost $13.8 million. Of course, you need to find a bank willing to loan you the other $55 million, which you can be certain will take some convincing.

Has anyone spotted a pair of midgets wondering around the Frieze Art Fair dressed up like Peter Blake? Black jackets, white shirts and cotton wool white beards...?
If so, you can credit James Brett, creator of the Museum of Everything. The doppelgangers are his idea, according to Blake that is, who I caught up with last week ahead of the Frieze. Peter Blake is co-curating this years Museum of Everything show with Brett, who Blake describes affectionately as a man who cycles everywhere and wears a woolly bobble hat, which is quite eccentric. They make an odd couple.
Those who saw last years Museum of Everything Exhibition #1 - the hit show of 2009 - will be excited to catch this years follow-up. Housed in the same tumble-down venue in Primrose Hill (weve cleaned it up a bit, Blake tells me, without losing the character), the theme is circus and funfare and draws heavily from Blakes own collection. Blake has been a lifelong collector of strange objects and curiosities, which he keeps in a spectacular magpie-like hoard in his studio. Apparently Brett lobbied to transpose Blakes entire studio to Primrose Hill. But I wasnt up for that, Blake grumbles. The studio would be so different without my objects. I'd be at a loss.
I have yet to see this years show but from Blakes description the exhibition is teeming with oddity and colour. From Blake's summary, it includes distorting mirrors, Tom Thumb, PT Barnum, a wall of postcards devoted to dwarves, midgets and giants, the embroidered pin-ups of Ted Wilcox, Victorian screens, a shell grotto, a Punch-and-Judy and puppet room and Mr Potters Museum of Curiosities. Its a celebration of unusualness, says Blake. Vive la différence, I say.

Peaches and Meringue
Fellow peach lovers!!! I have a peachy new recipe today that you absolutely must try.
Actually, it’s the opposite of new, and happens to be one of the oldest recipes here on the site that I published way back in my second month of blogging back in August of 2009. But I realized the other day that it has been collecting dust while buried down in the recipe archives, which is a sweet shame, because it is one of my all-time favorite summer dessert recipes. And easily one of the most-requested desserts that my friends mention every summer.
So six years later, I’m digging this simple recipe up from the archives and shouting from the rooftops that you need to “carpe peaches” and whip up a batch right now.
That’s right. I’m talking about peaches and meringue!
For anyone interested, here’s the recipe that I shared back on the blog in August of 2009.
I still actually remember everything about the night this photo was taken. I was hosting a dinner party in my old bungalow right smack in the middle of August. It was blazing hot out, so I squeezed everyone around my little dining table inside with the air conditioning, and made an enormous salad to serve the crowd. I happened to have just picked up a big batch of fresh peaches at the farmers market, and was planning to grill and then serve them with ice cream. But one of my friends at the dinner was lactose intolerant, which posed a challenge. I totally wanted her to get to experience the deliciousness of peaches and cream, but this was back in the days before dairy-free ice creams or coconut whipped cream were all the rage. So I decided to try a different idea instead — peaches and meringue!
I had heard a friend talking about the idea of broiling peaches, and then topping them with a dollop of meringue and letting it cook briefly in the still-hot oven. So even though it was 500 degrees outside, I decided to briefly turn on the broiler and see what magic might happen.
Six years later, I’m still turning on the broiler in the heat of August, because it turned out that peaches and meringue are a match made in heaven.
And so freaking easy.
To make them, simply cut a bunch of ripe peaches in half and lay them out on a baking sheet. Sprinkle them with a little bit of sugar (I used coconut sugar, but any kind will work). Then pop them under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until they start to brown and get a little juicy on top.
Then while the peaches are broiling, whip up a simple batch of meringue to go on top of them. It’s a really small batch of meringue, so I find it easiest to whip up mine in the small attachment that goes with my hand blender. But any sort of mixer will do.
(Tip on making meringue: just be very careful that no egg yolks or water sneak their way into your bowl, be sure that the eggs are room temp, and don’t over-beat once you add in the sugar!)
Again, you can also use whatever kind of sugar you’d like for the meringue, but I decided to go old-school with granulated sugar since it’s the whitest. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could also add some bourbon or crushed graham crackers into your meringue.
Then, simply pop the peaches and meringue back under the broiler for about 15 seconds, then turn off the broiler and let them continue cooking in there for another 30-45 seconds or until the tops of the meringue are lightly browned. Then pull them out, and serve them up immediately while they’re still extra warm and juicy. If you’d like, you can sprinkle them with some chopped pecans or drizzle them with a glaze or whatever else sounds good. But I love them plain just as they are.
The meringue is light and creamy and sweet. The peaches are rich and warm and oh-so-juicy. And together? Well, let’s just say they are an absolute treat.
One quick note, though, about the egg whites. Because the meringue is just lightly broiled on top, the insides are partially raw and soft, which makes them nice and creamy. (And as always, if you go this route, I have to disclaim that you consume raw eggs at your own risk.) But if you’re iffy about raw eggs, you can just reduce your oven to 300° F, and bake the meringue for a half hour or until is is cooked through. (See the recipe notes for the alternate baking times.) I prefer the broiled version, but go with whatever sounds best to you. Either way, this recipe is still dairy-free, and a great alternative for anyone craving peaches and cream who might need to pass on the actual cream.
Six years later, I love these just as much as the first day I made them. Hope you enjoy!
Peaches and Meringue
This peaches and meringue recipe is quick and easy to make, dairy-free, and perfect for summertime!
- 2 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 Tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar*, divided
- 1 large egg white, at room temperature**
- optional extra toppings: pinch of ground cinnamon, chopped pecans, crushed graham crackers, and/or drizzle of honey
Places peaches, cut side up, on a baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon sugar on each half. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until tops begin to brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, add egg white with a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer (or a hand blender also works well) on medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, beating briefly until the meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks.
Place a dollop of meringue on each peach half and return to the broiler for 10-15 seconds. Turn off broiler and leave peaches in oven just until tips of meringue are browned, 20-30 seconds. (Watch very carefully so that the meringue does not burn.)
*You can use just about any kind of sugar here. I used coconut sugar on the peaches, and granulated sugar with the meringue (so that it would stay white).
**Note that the eggs are not fully cooked for this recipe, and you consume the partially raw egg whites at your own risk. If you are concerned about raw eggs, you can broil the peaches as instructed, then lower the oven to 300°F, and bake peaches topped with the meringue for 25-30 minutes, or until the meringue has set and is cooked through.

.- In a recent interview with an Italian daily, Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia discussed his memories of St. John Paul II, with whom he worked as a bishop from 1988 to 2005.
“I have vivid memories of my ad limina visits with John Paul II … especially the first one in 1988. John Paul was extraordinarily kind,” Archbishop Chaput told La Stampa in an interview published April 30.
“He joked gently with me and the other bishops of my region that I was much too young to be a bishop, although we both knew that I was actually five years older than he was when he was raised to the episcopacy.”
At the time, Archbishop Chaput was 43, and had just been made Bishop of Rapid City, S.D.; the Pope, in turn, had been consecrated as an auxiliary of the Krakow archdiocese in 1958 when he was 38 years old.
St. John Paul II was “keenly interested and engaged in talking about the life of the Church in the United States,” Archbishop Chaput said. “I had four ad limina visits with John Paul II, and each one was a privileged moment, not simply because he was pope, but because of the humanity and goodness he brought to his ministry.”
“No one who met him can ever forget him.”
John Paul II was canonized April 27, and Archbishop Chaput reflected that he had achieved so much during his pontificate “that we tend to forget the scope of his impact.”
Noting that while most remember his international travels, the archbishop recounted a litany of the saint’s other accomplishments: prolific writing; building relations with Jews, Orthodox, and Protestants; renewal of Catholic identity; support of new ecclesial movements; profound and wide-ranging teachings; and a commitment to the dignity of the human person.
In 1993, while still Bishop of Rapid City, Chaput attended Denver’s World Youth Day with St. John Paul II.
“I remember his astonishing dynamism and humor in Denver. The crowds were huge, but they didn't tire him. They did the opposite – they gave him energy, and young people seemed to make him younger by their presence. Young people knew, instinctively, that John Paul loved them, and they responded to him enthusiastically.”
Four years later, John Paul II appointed him Archbishop of Denver, where he served until 2011.
According to Archbishop Chaput, “What John Paul proved is that young people thrive on being loved and challenged in an encouraging way. Even as an old man struggling with illness, young people flocked to him. The young are hungry for a sense of meaning, a mission that they can accomplish with their lives.”
“John Paul II imprinted a spirit of hope on their hearts, which is why he was so effective at changing and ennobling young lives.”

Former President George W. Bush now has a stent to help prop open a blocked artery, joining a half-million Americans who have the procedure each year.
In a way, one’s arteries are “kind of like plumbing,” said Toni Goodson, a registered nurse and chest pain coordinator with Hendrick Health System.
And just like the pipes that keep things flowing in one’s home, the works can get clogged up.
In the case of your arteries, the sludge is a fatty deposit called plaque.
Enter the stent: A tiny mesh tube is used prop open an artery that has been narrowed by plaque buildup, according to the American Heart Association.
Designed to mimic the “shape of your artery,” a stent is “crimped down” onto a balloon, Goodson said, then usually inserted into the body through an artery via a puncture in the groin or one’s wrist.
“They run a catheter up to your heart, and they run that balloon on a wire into your heart — and then they inflate the balloon,” she said.
Once the balloon is inflated, “it pushes up against the walls of that artery and pushes the blockage that’s in the artery out of the way so that the blood can flow through that artery more easily,” Goodson said.
The collapsed stent locks into place and forms a scaffold, permanently holding the artery open and improving blood flow to the heart muscle.
If allowed to remain, plaque blockages can have disastrous results, according to the AHA.
Blood flow that is reduced to the heart muscle can result in chest pain. And if an actual clot forms and completely blocks blood flow to part of the heart muscle, the result is a heart attack.
The need for a stent is diagnosed in a number of ways, Goodson said.
Those include an abnormal EKG, a stress test showing one portion of a heart not moving properly (indicating a potential blockage), a blood test indicating elevated heart enzymes, or a cardiac CT scan, which can show areas of calcification in the heart.
“You can form more blockage inside of the stent and you can form more blockage in other areas of the heart that aren’t stented,” Goodson said, meaning “typically if you’ve had one stent, you’ll have to have another.”
But in her experience, new technology, including “drug-eluting stents” — a stent coated with medication that helps prevent arteries from forming scar tissue — have meant fewer people having the procedure per month, at least at Hendrick.
“At one point we were placing around 200 stents per month,” Goodson said, a number that has now dropped to about 120.
“This is due to the fact that the stents are lasting longer and people are more educated about risk factors and lifestyle modification,” she said.
Better medications, such as statins, which are used to treat cholesterol, also influence the number, Goodson said.
John Hood, 62, of Abilene, who has had both heart bypass surgery and stents placed to help combat his heart disease, started his journey last summer when he noticed his arm and chest were hurting on his way home from work.
“It just didn’t get any better,” Hood said of the discomfort, which he also thought might be from heartburn.
Hood said he “didn’t really have any risk factors” for heart disease as far as he knew.
But today, though, after surgery, stents and cardiac rehab, he admits he is “probably in considerably better shape than I was to begin with.”
“I’ve done the best I can to keep myself in shape and eat better since that time,” he said. “So I think it’s had a pretty positive outcome.”

Bryan Carnathan has just posted a full review of Canon’s brand new EF 11-24mm f/4L USM Lens at the-digital-picture. He said it is the world’s widest angle rectilinear lens with full frame 35mm image sensor coverage.
From his review:“I’ve had the Canon 8-15mm Fisheye in my kit since it was introduced and really like it, but I didn’t find myself pulling it out very often. The distorted look was the primary reason for that lack of use. So, while it is a great lens, I traded that one in toward the 11-24. I preordered the 11-24 within minutes of the announcement and it is now a permanent part of my kit. No regrets – I love this lens.
Not only does the Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM Lens set a world record for the widest rectilinear focal length available in a full frame DSLR lens, it delivers elite performance over its entire focal length range while doing so. This is a very high grade lens that can deliver set-you-apart image quality.…” Read the detailed review

I realize it's probably not the best time to leave Canada. Canadian summers are so short eh?
But the truth is I can't wait to leave, because politically speaking this has been the worst summer EVAH. First the Cons got a majority, and then it started to rain.
And it won't be too hard to give up blogging either, because if all the yelling and shrieking in the progressive blogosphere was light, the truth would be blinding. But all I see are people wailing in The Great Darkness. Especially if they are Liberals.
And since I love all progressives and my blogging family, that makes me sad.
I also realize that I'll be missing Pride Week, and the Gay Pride Parade. But at least I won't have to endure the debate over whether the Fordzilla is a homophobe. When that's exactly what he is.
By deciding not to attend this year’s parade, the mayor is reinforcing the stereotypical notion of Pride as nothing more than a queer fest for cruising homos. In that sense, the mayor is delegitimatizing an entire community, an influential and important one, whose members also have kids, mortgages and dreams and aspirations for their loved ones, just like the mayor.
And you can't put lipstick on that pig...
Besides, on a higher note, they say you have to leave Canada to write about it.
And I'm taking Sébastien to the place where as a small boy, while keeping an eye on the sheep, I had some of my BEST ideas...
When it was sunny.
So maybe I can figure out what flaw in our national character caused us to be known as the Ugly Canadians.
Doctors from many countries have implored Canada for years to change its ways. The Lancet, a leading medical journal, has underscored the dangers of asbestos. The World Health Organization has warned that “at least 90,000 people die each year from asbestos-related lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis resulting from occupational exposures.” Doctors from Canada (including Quebec) and abroad have signed petitions, sent letters, organized delegations – all to no avail.
Because that one really hurts eh?
On the other hand I'm also taking Sébastien to see the wall a Roman Emperor put up to keep out my rebel people...
So I'm hardly about to give up on the Canada I love so much. Or stop attacking Emperor Harper. Or stop trying to knock down the walls of poverty, ignorance, and bigotry.
And I know that if we unite and help each other, we CAN defeat the Cons.
So I think I'll just wrap this up with a message of hope.
And this great new song that stands for just about EVERYTHING I believe in...
Hey kids, it will get better.
Hey Canada, it's always darkest before The Dawn.
Have a great summer everybody!!!
See you when I see you...

Well I see the great postal filibuster has ended. The NDP has surrendered to reality. The union-bashing Cons got what they wanted. The workers were shafted.
And the Liberals looked lame.
But at least the workers were grateful.
And at least the NDP defined itself as THE opposition party, and appears to recognize the importance of symbolic protest.
In fact, symbolically, the NDP Commons filibuster over back-to-work legislation has been brilliant. It has gone on long enough to portray New Democrats as the party willing to defy Harper.
But, so far at least, it has not gone on so long that it materially harms the public and, in particular, those small business operators dependent on mail service whose votes the NDP hopes to attract.
Because now that the HarperCons have a majority, that's the only kind of protest we've got left.
Although I also note that Brigette DePape has some ideas in that regard.
"When they tell us to stay home they are trying to get us to forget that the power of the people in the streets is greater than the power of any government."
But here's the question. How far are we really prepared to go to block the Harper Agenda? And how many Canadians are prepared to stick their necks out to defend Canada? Like Tim DeChristopher is prepared to do to save the planet.
I ask that question because I recently watched a video of DeChristopher addressing the Power Shift conference in April.
And it was one of the most riveting speeches I think I've ever seen...
So how far are Canadians prepared to go?
I have no idea. I guess it depends on how far the Cons are prepared to go. And how much we love our country.
But I do know a couple of things eh?
If Tim DeChristopher ever runs for President of the World I'd vote for him.
Thanks to the NDP and Brigette DePape, the power of peaceful protest is alive and kicking in this country.
And the rest is up to us...

It took a long time, even in the place where the gay rights revolution was born. Every homophobic group in Amerika tried to stop it. But tonight the state of New York finally legalized gay marriage.
Here's the historic vote as covered by Rachel Maddow:
Can you believe it? Almost 42 years to the day since the Stonewall Uprising, gays and lesbians in that state have finally won the right to celebrate their love.
I dedicate this moment to Patrick, and all those who could not live to see this day. But they are with us now in Heaven, and we can know at least we - and so many straight people - did not let them down.
They have finally beaten the bigots. Like this crazed homophobe.
You think it’s going to stop with this? You think now bigamists are going to want their rights to marry? You think somebody that wants to marry his sister is going to now say “I have a right”? I mean, it’s the same principle, isn’t it?
You know...the Empire State Building is decked out in the rainbow colours these days to mark Pride Week.
But tonight it never looked prouder...
Thursday, June 23, 2011
Holy Lady Gaga. Sometimes it's not easy to be gay eh? When the bigots aren't trying to kill you, the Christianist closet queens are trying to "cure" you.
Like the pathetic quacks at Exodus Global Alliance. (EGA)
In the United States their
But in this country the eggy freaks at EGA are able to promote the same harmful nonsense, and
But now finally, some are taking aim at that scam thanks to the excellent work of my awesome brother Mark at Slap Upside the Head.
So please sign his petition, because it's the best way to put those phonies out of business. And since Stephen Harper shares their views and believes that homosexuality is a choice, so can presumably be "cured," it won't be easy.
As for the "ex-gay" movement, as someone who came out at the age of thirteen and has been fighting bigots and bullies ever since. All I want to say to those self-haters is this:
Closet queens PUH......LEAZE.Get a grip on yourselves...uh...metaphorically speaking. And repeat after me:
Hooray you're gay
And gay is never going to go away.
Or better still, sing it with the Juliettes...
Yup. As I was saying. Sometimes it's not easy to be gay eh?
But most of the time it's FABULOUS....
When I think about what Stephen Harper and his sinister thugs might have been up to in Afghanistan. And how we'll never know what really happened, because the Cons have shutdown the judge's panel.
The Conservative government decided to shut down a panel responsible for vetting documents on the handling and treatment of Afghan detainees, a newly released letter indicates.
The June 15 letter from two former Supreme Court judges on the panel says they were advised by the government after the recent election “that it is unlikely” the document review process would be renewed, even though they had examined only an “initial” cache of records.
So the great document search into torture turned out to be nothing but a FARCE.
When I think about how most Canadians probably don't give a damn because they tuned out the Afghan War a long time ago. And the how the words "Canada" and "human rights" don't go together anymore.
I say thank goodness for Amnesty International, which is celebrating its fiftieth birthday.
I've always admired the organization. I tattooed its logo on my arm when I was fifteen. I love the way it fights for the rights of political prisoners all over the world. And how it champions all kinds of other human rights causes that would otherwise receive little or no attention.
From the rights of Gypsies to be treated with respect and dignity.
To the rights of girls in Nicaragua to live free from sexual violence.
To the rights of LGBT people to LIVE. Period.
So needless to say, I just LOVE this birthday video...
Yup. Thanks to our ghastly Cons the words "Canada" and "human rights" don't go together anymore. But in my life they do.
The way I see it.... only by working for the freedom of others can you be truly free.
Happy Birthday Amnesty !!!
Here's to the next fifty years...

Well I see that Rob Ford has announced that he'd rather get drunk at his cottage, than march in the Pride Parade.
Rob Ford is skipping the pride parade to spend his Canada Day weekend at the cottage, ending a long tradition of participation by Toronto mayors in the popular event.
And I for one am delighted eh?
Because it is a long parade route, it can get brutally hot, and if he melted into a pool of grease, they'd have to get a sewer sucker to hoover him up.
And surely nobody is surprised by the message he is sending to the city's gay community.
Councillor Janet Davis said the mayor’s decision not to march is indicative of his feelings toward the gay community. “By not going to Pride I think he is sending a very clear message that they don’t count in Rob Ford’s city,” she said.
Because a homophobe is a homophobe.
And a hog, is a hog, is a HAWG.
Gawd. What an idiot MONSTER. Why does he hate the people of Toronto soooo much? When can we remove him from office?
And why is that grotesque Fordzilla stirring up homophobia again? Because all you have to do is read the comments in the Globe article to see what I mean:
Hmmm, hang out at lake with family, have a beer, grill some steak and catch some fish.
Watch half-naked, oiled up men dance around in their underpants blowing whistles.....
Pass the beer Rob.
I wouldn't go either; someone might sneeze and spread AIDS
And if some gay person is beaten or murdered as a result, he'll have blood all over his trotters.
Oh well. At least the lesson couldn't be clearer eh?
Until progressives unite to defeat the common enemy, they'll get the government, the Prime Minister.
And the Pig Mayor they DESERVE...

When a sailing lesson turns into a swimming lesson.
Hey guys...follow the boat with the motor and you'll be fine.
Or in the case of BBC Scotland, you can't tell the difference between the weather woman and Rudolph Hess...
The good news? It was the 7:30 am Saturday morning show. And most of Scotland was too
We STILL want to be independent !!!!!
And it could have been worse eh?
If you want to survive Canada's Summer of Anger, there are two subjects you absolutely must NOT discuss with your fellow hosers.
One...who is to blame for the Vancouver riot? Because chances are you'll have to listen to some deranged rant about how young people are inherently dumb and dangerous. How they HUMILIATED Canada. And how they should be shamed, jailed, whipped, and their lives ruined FOREVER.
Which can ruin your day eh?
And two...anything to do with the postal lockout.
Because then you might have to listen to a lengthy and foamy diatribe about how those unionized workers are lazy, greedy, PARASITES, who are giving themselves juicy pensions with OUR tax dollars. And how DARE they have a pension when I don't ???!!!
When in fact:
(1) The postal service workers make millions and millions of dollars in PROFIT for the government. They don't depend on the largesse of taxpayers, and the only people that do are the ones with the best performing pensions in the country.
(2) The attempt to create two kinds of workers at Canada Post is part of a larger campaign to do away with pensions altogether, and an all out assault on the rights of young Canadians.
The CEOs have decided. The value of young people is lower than the value of people from my generation. You don’t deserve the same salary, even if you are better educated. You don’t deserve the same vacation time or health benefits. And you certainly don’t deserve to have the same kind of secure retirement. It’s just not in the business plan.
(3) Stephen Harper and his Cons are out to destroy public pensions, and what's left of the union movement in Canada. Because for them and the big business porkers, pensions are SOCIALISM. And unions are The Enemy.
And they know that if young Canadians are barely able to support themselves, they'll be less likely to join a union, and less able or willing to support the elderly.
So we'll ALL suffer, the race to the bottom will continue, and people will end up gnawing on each other in the darkness of a capitalist jungle. While the fat cats look down on us from their fortresses or their executive jets, rattle their jewels, swill their champagne, and laugh their porky asses off.
Which is when I start thinking of what happened in Vancouver. And wonder what might happen when young Canadians realize that their future has been stolen, their planet has been torched. And find a REAL reason to riot...
But for Godzilla's sake, whatever you do, don't mention that to anyone you don't know really well eh? Or you might be attacked or publicly SHAMED.
Even though that won't change the truth: Or there will be justice, or there will be trouble.
And this too is true:
If you are under the age of 35, pay close attention. Your standard of living, and that of your children, is being decided right now in the boardroom, the workplace and even on the picket line. Sooner rather than later, you will need to pick a side.
We are heading for an ideological and generational struggle the likes of which most Canadians can't even IMAGINE.
The Cons and their corporate masters are preparing to wage war on young and old Canadians.
And it IS time to pick sides.
Play it again Billy...
I am always moved when I see the special bond between a homeless person and his or her dog.
How they share what little they have with their pets. And how their dogs are oblivious to their miserable surroundings, and are just glad to be with the ones who love them.
Because I share a special bond with the homeless. Their condition makes me sad, and ashamed. And the cruel way they are often treated makes me wild with anger.
And of course, as you know, I love dogs eh?
So I found this story both sad and beautiful..
I'm glad that poor man was treated kindly before he died.
Because that's the way all human beings, whether they have a home or not, should be treated all the time.
And I'm happy his last wish came true. Because homeless people have dreams too.
As for the dog, I wonder as she sleeps in her fancy new home, whether she dreams of waking up in that car next to her friend.
Knowing dogs as I do.
I'm sure she does...

Well I must admit I was shocked to find myself watching the NDP Convention on Sun TV. All because Sébastien taped Fox News North instead of CPAC. Claiming he didn't understand my instructions because they were written in what I thought was good French.
Gawd...I mean CRISSE !#!&!! Only in Canada eh?
But despite the sinking feeling that I had boosted Sun TV's ratings by at least forty percent, and had joined the very small group of Canadians who have ever watched any of their programs for more than an hour, I still liked what I saw.
Oh sure, I wish they could have put the democratic socialism/social democratic debate behind them. Because although you're judged by what you do, not by what you call yourself.
And although socialism has a proud history.
Socialist parties in Europe have often achieved more that their sisters and brothers in Canada---in some cases including free university tuition, strong job protection and termination benefits, higher minimum wages, better pensions, pharmacare, free full day early childhood education, state funded family vacations, worker participation in the management of industry, generous parental leave, a shorter work week, rent subsidies, and in a few odd cases, free firewood, and free access to municipally owned ski lifts and ski runs.
And although I'm proud to call myself a democratic SOCIALIST.
So many Canadians were raised during the Cold War, and confuse socialism and communism. Duh. So social democratic is probably better.
Because for me the ONLY thing that counts is defeating the Harper Cons, and in that regard the most significant thing that happened this weekend was this:
In earlier voting Sunday, party delegates also rejected a resolution calling on the party to reject all future mergers with the Liberals — which leaves the door open to potential future talks between the two opposition parties.
Talk about the Great Leap Forward eh?
Yes comrades... I know that right now the Liberals don't support a merger. But if the NDP can look like a government-in-waiting and still keep their options open, so can the Liberals.
And after they've healed themselves, and accepted reality, and seen what the Harper Cons have done to this country, I'm sure they will.
In fact, on this strange day when I was forced to watch the NDP on Sun TV, I think it's only fitting that I should ask a famous Liberal to sum up my view of this weekend's democratic socialist/social democratic convention.
Because he was once a socialist.
The universe Pierre Trudeau said, is unfolding as it should.
Or as I say these days, if you can't call it Ipanema eh?
How about Sugar Beach?

Lardy. Bean me with a bacon bit...or a Vienna sausage. They don't call them Con hogs for nothing eh? But who knew they were such party animals?
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's own department has repeatedly broken the government's tough rules for hospitality spending.
An internal report on how the Privy Council Office spent $340,000 on hospitality found widespread flouting of a basic rule — that is, public servants must get prior approval from a supervisor before spending the cash.
Oinky Boinky. I know having a majority means never having to say sorry. But is Stephen Harper running a government, or the prom he never had?
The Canadian Press later reported Harper had personally approved a $47,000 event for 600 employees in Privy Council Office.
And who does he think he is wasting the taxpayer's money so casually? Tony Clement ? You know...the Minister of Pork responsible for slashing government spending.
But of course, for sheer debauchery nothing could beat this Con party...
At the recent Tory convention, party members voted to support any religious organization’s right to refuse to perform same-sex marriages. Meanwhile, a group of gay Conservatives at the convention, held at the Ottawa Westin, hosted “The Fabulous Blue Tent,” a hospitality suite open to all.
The party went on until 3 a.m. Ministers in attendance included Kenney and John Baird. Among the Conservative MPs were Patrick Brown, Rick Dykstra and newly elected Toronto Tory Ted Opitz (who beat Liberal Borys Wrzesnewskyj by 26 votes in a recount). One Tory attendee quipped: “The Conservatives have made progress clearly by upgrading from a closet to a ‘fabulous blue tent.’ And if you keep throwing fabulous parties they have got to love you.”
Because having a party after voting to strip gays and lesbians of their right to marry, is about as hoggy as it gets.
And inviting the porker homophobe Jason Kenney, is the opposite of FABULOUS.
Unless of course, La Kenney came in drag...
But sadly I can't confirm that, because my only other source is Dr Roy.
And he's a friend of Dorothy too, and a huge monarchist, so he's not telling.
And what more can you say eh?
Except who knew the Cons were such party animals?
And it's going to be a long four years...
Friday, June 17, 2011
I visited a postal worker's picket line yesterday morning. And in the evening Sébastien dropped by and took this great picture after the Cons announced they intend to force them back to work.
The Conservative government is vowing to legislate an end to the Canada Post lockout even if it means extending the Parliamentary session and overriding the strong objections from labour and the opposition.
NDP Leader Jack Layton and interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae both accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper of ignoring the larger issue behind the disputes – the trend of employers moving away from defined benefit – or guaranteed – pension plans for new hires.
We both had the same message for the workers, the nicest bunch of people you can imagine. We are against this war on pensions, this assault on young and old Canadians, and we support their union one-hundred percent.
We felt we had to say that eh? After hearing so many people muttering that they don't have a pension so why should the postal workers? As if a race to the bottom is what this country needs. Instead of a decent pension system for everyone, so old people can live out their lives in dignity instead of misery.
And the young aren't treated like slave labour. And condemned to a future of low wages and exploitation.
But of course that's exactly where Stephen Harper and his Con ideologues would take us, to please their masters in Big Business...
Today on the CBC the despicable capitalist shark Kevin O'Leary said, if he was Prime Minister, he'd declare unions illegal. So you know what those porkers are thinking eh?
The good news? If they try to turn this country into a jungle they'll have a hell of a fight on their hands. I was delighted to see how many ordinary Canadians honked their car horns in support as they drove by the CUPW picket line.
They know, as Seb and I know, that unions are some of the greatest defenders of our precious Canadian values, champions of human rights, that without them we would ALL be slaves.
And of course that, see you in the streets brothers and sisters. Say it again Billy.
There is power in a UNION...
Thursday, June 16, 2011
Well it's the day after the Vancouver riot, and I see that just about everybody is blaming everybody but themselves.
Those weren't real hockey fans, that isn't Vancouver, hockey is Canada, and we're better than that eh?
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Yes, of course they're Canuck fans. Anyone who works for a living knows what replica jerseys cost in the real world....A great many people in the crowd throwing bottles, smashing windows and grinning happily for the cameras were happily showing off their Canucks jerseys.
"This isn't the Vancouver I know; we're better than this, I thought we had grown up in the past 17 years," was another. This could only be said by someone who keeps his eyes closed when he wanders outside: Vancouver not only has a seedy underbelly; it is right there for anyone willing to see it.
Could it happen in any other Canadian city? Yes it could. So what we really need to ask ourselves is why have we allowed our national sport to become such an ugly game. And such an unhealthy obsession.
This is the dark side of our national obsession with the game of hockey. It is our greatest source of collective pride when we win. And when we don’t, it looses our collective rage at … what, exactly?
Rather than a post-mortem on what went wrong on Wednesday — we already know that — it would be more helpful to take stock of why so many of us are so goddamned angry.
Because this was the dirtiest Stanley Cup final I have ever watched, after one of the dirtiest seasons ever. A season of cheap shots and concussions, that saw good players like Sidney Crosby mowed down by goons, while the NHL did practically nothing to stop it. Because violence SELLS.
We also really need to ask ourselves why we have allowed Con clowns like Don Cherry and Stephen Harper to weave that thuggish version of our sport into our national fabric, pump it up with cheap jingoism, conflate it with a ridiculous sense of destiny, poison it with a winner take all mentality.
And blame the riot on left-wing pinkos.
Gawd. Talk about a flaming asshole.
We also need to ask why the media whipped the Stanley Cup final into such a big Canada Vs The World contest, when it was just a contest between two cities. Why they made such a big deal about it. Why even the CBC News led its newscasts with hockey nonsense when hundreds were being massacred in Syria. And farmers in Western Canada were drowning.
Because it's cheap, it's absurd, it makes us look like pathetic losers with an inferiority complex the size of a house. Or like a mob when we're disappointed.
And Canada is much much more than just hockey.
But then that's our beautiful country eh? There are some truths we would rather not face. We'd rather not ask why a Stephen Harper ad looks like a hockey/beer commercial.
What it says about what we are becoming, and where it is leading us...
Because hockey is Canada !!!!!!!!! And we're number ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well. Until the NHL cleans up its act, until so many in this country regain their sanity, hockey will only mean one thing to me.
The great Canadian game, that we play with our friends.
Until the sun goes down.
On rinks like this one...

Oh.My.Godzilla. Where's Barney when we need him? It seems the right-wingers in this country can't stop lumbering after Brigette DePape.
When they're not bellowing "Canada is not EGYPT !!!!!!" they're calling her a political extremist.
DePape repeatedly talked about stopping, what she termed, the "Harper Agenda." She called for Canadians to engage in civil disobedience, going so far as to claim Canada needs an "Arab Spring" and comparing the situation to the Civil Rights Movement.
Regardless of where one stands on the policies of the Conservative government, it is clear that this sort of talk is at best hyperbolic and at worst offensive. The way the protesters spoke, it's almost as if the Harper government is planning to shred the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Yet there are people, mostly young Canadians, who agree with these sentiments.
Or just young and dumb.
As if there wasn't a Harper Agenda, as if his regime hadn't already begun shredding the Charter of Rights, as if he hadn't acted like a dictator by treating Parliament with contempt.
As if she ever said Canada was Egypt:
This country needs a Canadian version of an Arab Spring, a flowering of popular movements that demonstrate that real power to change things lies not with Harper, but in the hands of the people, when we act together in our streets, neighbourhoods, and workplaces.
Instead of just calling on progressives to organize, restrain Harper from dismantling our country with just 39 percent support, and unite to eventually defeat him.
As if her only real crime, apart from shocking those Con porkers in the Senate, wasn't daring to speak truth to power in a country where too many Canadians don't want to hear it.
By my observations, most Canadians are afraid to speak up, and many find the very act of speaking up distasteful. A common sentiment is that public protesters are objects of ridicule and disgust, and that they need to be controlled. Order is valued above all, at almost any cost.
In that context, DePape's actions were heroic. In a society where people are even afraid to ask their employer for a raise, DePape stood up – alone – and spoke truth to power. She knew her protest would have grave consequences, but she did it anyway, and in an elegant and peaceful way.
A country where those who attack her are the real threat to democracy:
Calling a country a democracy does not make it so. In a healthy democracy, great masses of votes are not wiped out when voters happen to be the minority voice in their geographic location. In a healthy democracy, people are not afraid to protest. In a healthy democracy, people do not express horror and anguish at the sight of a young woman holding a sign.
So I agree with him.
Because when Jason Kenney calls you a kook you know you are doing the right thing eh?
And because NOTHING could be dumber than thinking that a man who walks like a dictator, and quacks like a dictator, couldn't act even more like a dictator now that he has a majority.
Yup. Those right wingers can bellow like dinosaurs, but in a country where complacency is eroding our democracy, Brigette DePape is an excellent example for young AND old progressives.
And my newest Canadian hero...
It was a grey and rainy Monday, so imagine how great it was to stumble home from work, and see this beautiful rainbow streaming down on my island.
Especially since I know that a sight like that must drive these rainbow chasers CRAZY.
A Canadian Catholic school has banned pupils from using rainbows, the symbol of the gay pride movement.
However, clever pupils led by 16-year-old Leanne Iskander found a novel way to get their message across – by using food dyes to make cupcakes with a secret rainbow centre.
But the way I see it eh? If those nasty bigots don't like that rainbow.
They can choke on this one...
And so can the bigot Cons.
Can you believe those Reform homophobes? Voting unanimously to take away the rights of gay people, while calling themselves mainstream, and Canada's party. Gimme a break.
Oh sure. I know that a lot of people think they won't ban gay marriage or severely restrict access to abortion. But I don't believe that for a moment.
As I'm always pointing out, by cutting party subsidies the Cons will make themselves even more dependent on donations from their rabid religious base. And those crazed fanatics WILL demand their pound of bloody flesh. The writing is on the wall. And those who can't see it are either suckers or collaborators.
Oh well. What can we do ? Except help our LGBT kids any way we can.
And if the bigots don't like our freedom rainbow. And they won't choke on those cupcakes.
We'll just have to take to the streets.
And wave this one in their faces...
Because I couldn't be more ready eh?
The Gay Brigade will join forces with the Brigette Brigade.
The war on the Con agenda is just beginning.
And we are going to whup them...

It was a compelling story. A young Syrian-American lesbian blogging about life and love in the darkness of a police state, only to be kidnapped.
Arraf wrote a blog called "A Gay Girl in Damascus," a mixture of erotic prose and updates about Syria's violent uprising, including her participation in anti-regime protests. She was detained after weeks on the run in the Syrian capital, family members said Tuesday.
Except that Amina wasn't wasn't Amina. She wasn't kidnapped. And the Gay Girl in Damascus was written by a guy.
I never expected this level of attention. While the narrative voıce may have been fictional, the facts on thıs blog are true and not mısleading as to the situation on the ground. I do not believe that I have harmed anyone -- I feel that I have created an important voice for issues that I feel strongly about.
But some LGBT bloggers in Syria are outraged.
Because of you, Mr. MacMaster, a lot of the real activists in the LGBT community became under the spotlight of the authorities in Syria. These activists, among them myself, had to change so much in their attitude and their lives to protect themselves from the positional harm your little stunt created. You have, sir, put a lot of lives, mine and some friends included, in harm's way so you can play your little game of fictional writing.
As for me I don't know what to think. The fact is that blog focused a lot of international attention on the fascist Syrian regime, and the oppression of LGBT people. Which is great eh? Unless you live there, and the international community won't do anything to save you.
And then there's this:
But at least these things are true.
All kind of people are being oppressed and murdered in Syria, including a lot of real gay girls in Damascus. While the world looks on helplessly.
The truth may or may not be stranger than fiction. But only it will set us free.
And of course, and we all know this one don't we?
The internet is the internet....

I see that after having been buried by an avalanche of criticism, Tracy Morgan has apologized for his hideous homophobic rant.
"I'm not a hateful person and don’t condone any kind of violence against others. While I am an equal opportunity jokester, and my friends know what is in my heart, even in a comedy club this clearly went too far and was not funny in any context,"
And so has his boss Tina Fey.
"Stand-up comics may have the right to 'work out' their material in its ugliest and rawest form in front of an audience,' said Fey in a statement, "but the violent imagery of Tracy's rant was disturbing to me ... "
"I hope for his sake that Tracy's apology will be accepted as sincere by his gay and lesbian coworkers at 30 Rock, without whom Tracy would not have lines to say, clothes to wear, sets to stand on, scene partners to act with, or a printed-out paycheck from accounting to put in his pocket."
Now I like Tina a lot. But when I first read her statement I wasn't sure I could be that generous to a second-rate rate comedian who would think it funny to say such hateful things.
Not when so many gay kids are bullied to death. Or beaten and thrown out of their homes by their parents.
Or forced to live alone among many...
But then I read this from the gay producer and screenwriter Ron Nyswana
Yesterday, on the set of our movie, I sat in a minivan with Tracy Morgan, who wept as he told me about his violent childhood. I cannot understand the brutality of dire poverty or the soul-killing experience of growing up black in racist America. And Tracy cannot understand the pain of a gay child raised in homophobic America, under the constant barrage of taunts, threats of violence, and the ever-present fear of being exposed and rejected.
His pain is not mine and mine is not his. Neither of us reached adulthood unscathed by the shared prejudices of our culture. We've arrived at manhood slightly distorted, wounded and limited by our battles. We have been hurt. We make mistakes. But our mistakes are made in a cultural context.
Yesterday, while the world Tweeted away, issuing accusations and condemnations, a black, straight comic and a white, gay writer sat in a minivan, crying and trying to understand.
And then I had to admit that I do believe in the power of redemption. Because without it this world would be unlivable. I hate racism just as much as I hate homophobia. And the important thing is that the message has gone out again: bullying is bad, and bigotry is EVIL.
So what more could I want eh?
And besides there's a BONUS.
This tweet from Ana Matronic of the Scissor sisters...
Which not only makes me smile.
But also, since it's Saturday night...
I believe gives me a VERY good excuse to play one of my favourite music videos...
Yup. I admit it. I do believe in the power of redemption. Damn.
And I'd give ANYTHING to dance around with those feathers stuck to my tail.
Out of bad things come good things. Hint. Hint.
Have a great weekend everybody...
Well it wasn't Nuremberg. It was Ottawa. But the message from Great Deranged Leader to his adoring followers was the same. Now that we have conquered
Harper painted a dark picture of the world around Canada near the end of his mostly upbeat speech, and said there are forces rising that Canada must resist.
Canada's purpose "is no longer to please every dictator with a vote at the United Nations," Harper said, adding he never understood why others felt that was in Canada's national interest.
"Our party’s great purpose is nothing less than to prepare our nation to shoulder a bigger load, in a world that will require it of us," he said.
Great eh? Canada Uber Alles. From pariah nation to rogue nation. We're still spending billions in Afghanistan. The bill for the war
And now he's planning to spend billions projecting our military power all over the globe?
Oh. Mein. Gott. Of all Harper's multiple personalities, I knew the one where he thinks he is a great military leader would be the end of us. Or the end of the medicare system when the Con war machine bankrupts the country. Which of course is his secret plan.
And which dictator will he attack next I wonder? The one in Iran, who by threatening Israel is threatening the return of the Christian Messiah?
Or this one?
"The film tells the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed."
Because that sounds so familiar, and you know how Harper loves dressing up in military uniforms. So he must be sooooooooo JEALOUS.
Or will it be even worse? Will he get Mrs Stockwell Day to whip his fanatic followers into a kamikaze frenzy?
Because THAT's muscular eh?
And then launch an all-out assault on North Korea...or Haiti....or Hong Kong.
Oh wait. Too late.
There he goes now...
You know that little charred ball is probably what the planet will look like after Great Maniac Leader is finished with it. Because if he can hasten The Rapture you KNOW he will.
Yikes. Thank goodness for Brigette and the real majority.
"It's people coming together to say that we're going to resist the Harper agenda, to make sure that the Conservatives know that we won't back down..."
Because this is just the BEGINNING.
Once we only had to save Canada eh?
But now we must save the WORLD...

I've never liked Tracy Morgan. I find his humor asinine, crudely sexist, and vulgar.
And now I like him even less.
He said that there is no way a woman could love and have sexual desire for another woman, that’s just a woman pretending because she hates a fucking man. He took time to visit the bullshit of this bullying stuff and informed us that the gays needed to quit being pussies and not be whining about something as insignificant as bullying.
He mentioned that gay was something kids learn from the media and programming, and that bullied kids should just bust some ass and beat those other little fuckers that bully them, not whine about it. He said if his son that was gay he better come home and talk to him like a man and not [he mimicked a gay, high pitched voice] or he would pull out a knife and stab that little N (one word I refuse to use) to death.
He mentioned that Barack Obama needed to man up and quit being all down with this just because he has a wife and two daughters. All of this being followed by thunderous cheer and “You go Tracys”. Tracy then said he didn’t fucking care if he pissed off some gays, because if they can take a fucking dick up their ass… they can take a fucking joke.
Because misogyny and homophobia are no joke. And he's just PATHETIC.
The scary part is that so many in the audience would encourage him.
But then homophobia is a frighteningly common disease that infects millions all over the world.
And until it is eradicated.
It will diminish us ALL...
Well at least now nobody can deny what lying hogs they are.
So the G8 legacy for Baird and Clement is complete — pork barreling, deceit and promotions.
Toronto’s G20 legacy is still unfolding, but it will include heavy-handed police tactics, unnecessary detention of law-abiding citizens, a city under siege, vandalism, small businesses denied compensation, an international black eye and the back of the hand from the Harper government.
The contempt they have for Parliament. And the truth.
And nobody can avoid the question that demands an answer:
How could the officially anointed King of Pork, a man who rained this $50 million in goodies throughout his riding under a bogus premise, with no paper trail or rationale, be promoted and put in charge of cutting government waste?
At least now we know the threat we face in the next four years.
“This is a special responsibility for you, the grassroots of our party, to ensure that sure our government does not waiver and that we stay true to our conservative principles,” Mr. Kenney told the crowd at the Ottawa convention centre.
From those who would put the values of their Godzilla before the values of most Canadians. From those who would turn Canada into a JUNGLE...
“We don’t depend on the bloated bureaucracies of the nanny state; we thrive on our freedom and are upheld by the law,” he said.
“We don’t assume that history began in the Summer of Love; we honour a tradition reaching back to the Magna Carta.”
From those who have violated the laws of Parliament, raped our values, and would treat us like The Enemy.
“Our adversaries were focused on the obsessions of the chattering classes – like Taliban prisoners – rather than the practical bread-and-butter concerns of hard-working families.”
And most importantly, now at least we know what we must do if we want to STOP HARPER.
The thousands of positive comments shared online, the printing of “Stop Harper” buttons and stickers and lawn signs, and the many calls for further action convinced me that this is not merely a country of people dissatisfied with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s vision for Canada.
It is a country of people burning with desire for change.
Media and politicians have argued that I tarnished the throne speech, a solemn Canadian tradition. I now believe more in another tradition — the tradition of ordinary people in this country fighting to create a more just and sustainable world, using peaceful direct action and civil disobedience.
And the road to RESISTANCE.
For this too we now know.
The Con hogs are preparing to steal our country.
And we must unite to STOP them...

Hi! My name is Dan Berkey, and J G Humphreys represents the realization of a vision I developed during years of experience in construction and restoration. As the Owner and Lead Project Manager for this locally owned remodeling company which provides high quality, value minded service on a daily basis I'm able to live my dream of building better every day.
What I believe.
G Humphreys will always be steadfastly dedicated to the highest level of ethics and craftsmanship, as well as honest, reliable service from knowledgeable and courteous professionals.
It is my intention to use this company to provide both high end and value minded remodeling services at a modest profit to the benefit of those who share the communities I live in. It is my commitment to keep overhead costs low in order to offer exceptionally high quality craftsmanship at rates far below those of larger firms offering the same level of service.
This means that on larger projects I often take only one at a time, and stay at that job full time until it is finished, focusing on flexibility if any design changes occur during the construction process.
