First of all, calling someone autistic is not an insult.
You really need a reality check, The only reason he isn't moving at first is to first finish his school year then move with mom to live with dad in the White House. Which by the way is entirely the right thing to do for any child especially when you have the means to do so in the first place.
Trump's continued residence in New York City has impacted the local economy in other ways as well. City officials are already coming up with plans to address traffic and congestion around Trump Tower, while local businesses are complaining that the loss of foot traffic is hurting their bottom line.
If New Yorkers are hoping for a reprieve once Trump becomes president on Jan. 20, they should guess again. While reports are unclear as to how often Trump himself will stay in the White House, his transition team has already confirmed that soon-to-be First Lady Melania Trump and their 10-year-old son Barron will continue to live in Trump Tower even after the Trump presidency has commenced.
According to a source for the New York Post, "Melania is extremely close to Barron, and they have become closer during the campaign … The campaign has been difficult for Barron, and she is really hoping to keep disruption to a minimum." The source added that the future First Lady is "really devoted" to her son. "Melania has not relied on nannies to raise the child and is frequently seen picking the fourth-grader up from his prep school, where tuition is north of $40,000."
The area around Trump Tower has already become a total hellscape, with only foot traffic allowed on West 56th between Fifth Avenue and Madison, and anyone foolhardy enough to walk down that block is subject to search. People who live, work, or visit the area can expect more of the same once Trump takes office.

Draft dodging Trump is the Commander in Chief to military families who have faithfully put their country's need above the personal needs of their family.
"America First"? Not so much. The needs of the President's 10 year old son come first!

Take a poll...guaranteed the U.S. would not want a POTUS who didn't put their minor child first.
Every parent should put the needs of their child first above all else, even the presidency.
This thread is not about where they live. It is about O'Donnell saying he may be autistic. Since she has an autistic child she should understand that it's a private family issue. Doesn't matter if he is or isn't she has no right to say anything about it.

If his son is Autistic I feel Trump should have publicly addressed it before dragging him on stage and making him a public spectacle.
The kid shows no emotion at all. His face never moves in any expression at all.
That is not high functioning Autism as I know it.

Interview with Martin Cohen
AstroPhotography Tonight is pleased to present this exclusive interview with professional photographer Martin Cohen of Santa Monica, California. Martin has traveled across the globe to create his special works for numerous photo publications, clients, and photo exhibitions. His website, Martin Cohen Photography is a reflection of his mastery with a camera.
Martin's talents extend into astrophotography where he applies his skills in imaging and photo processing to night sky subjects such as the Moon, galaxies, and nebulae. Martin's strengths in astrophotography include imaging with low cost telescope platforms and image processing using Deep Sky Stacker and Photoshop. AstroPhotography Tonight published two articles written by Martin in these areas: Creating Seamless Mosaics in Photoshop and Astrophotography on a Budget. The photo gallery of his work below is a testament of what can be accomplished in astrophotography with affordable telescopes and sophisticated image processing. We appreciate Martin taking the time to share his experience in astrophotography and we look forward to learning more from him. Martin's interview with AstroPhotography Tonight starts below his image gallery.
Samples of Martin's Work
Interview with Martin
Please tell us about yourself. How did you get started in astrophotography?
I have always been fascinated by the moon and the stars, even as a kid. When I was twelve, back in the late sixties in Amsterdam, Holland, a friend of mine got a telescope for his birthday. One night, he showed me the moon. I was awestruck! Within a few months I got my own: a 2" Polarex (Unitron) Alt-Az refractor. I still have it, optically and mechanically it's wonderful little telescope. In 2009, I got a 90mm Meade GoTo refractor on Ebay for under $100 and started photographing the moon. I was hooked. From there on it evolved into Deep Sky photography and I can easily see myself doing it for many more years. The great thing is you can keep growing. Right now I am in the intermediate stage: when I see the images produced by advanced astrophotographers I know how much more there is to learn.
What equipment did you learn on (i.e., camera, telescope)?
Actually, I took my first photographs of moon and planets with that little 50mm Polarex and a Russian SLR: the inexpensive but quite functional Zenith B. I was sixteen and did my own developing, pushing Tri-X to 1600 and 3200 ASA. Those were the days… I remember going to an astro-camp in Switzerland where I was showing the heavens to Belgian boy scouts, and another youth meeting in Italy where I ruined the secondary of a 16-inch reflector by cleaning it with a bit too much zest, so the silver came off. Precious memories…
Did you have any mentors or someone who inspired you during your early days in astrophotography?
I never had any mentors or teachers but I always learned from reading and experimenting based on what I knew. I had several books on astronomy as a kid and over the past years the Internet has been an unbelievable source of information. So many great photographs, inspiration is everywhere! Also, I found that even the most advanced astrophotographers are usually very generous with their advice and willing to share their knowledge. Cloudy Nights and Astromart have many wonderful members, the CN forums contain tons of information. Astrophotography Tonight is another great website to learn from.
What equipment are you currently using for astrophotography?
I currently image with a simple Skywatcher EQ5 mount with a Synscan controller. The scope I use the most is a William Optics Zenithstar 66 SD because I really like the wider fields. I often borrowed a Canon 20Da from one of my astro-buddies, and a few months ago I got my own modded DSLR, a Canon 1000D. I always use light-pollution filters, the Astronomik clip-ins are really great. My second scope is an Orion 110 ED, which is a nice semi-apo refractor. Lately I have used the more detailed images of my 110 ED in combination with the wide field shots of the Zenithstar 66. And only a couple months ago I could not resist picking up a simple Orion 80 ED for $250 on Astromart. They are amazing performers, especially for the price. The only way to know how a certain telescope works for imaging is to get one and start shooting with it. That's why I will probably buy and sell quite a few more instruments in the years ahead. But my Zenithstar is a keeper!
What is your favorite imaging subject (planets, moon, nebula, galaxies, etc.)?
I love the moon and the ever changing landscape as the shadows of mountains and crater walls move over its surface… It is also a great challenge to photograph ever finer details. I have yet to get into planetary photography, I tried a few times but was never blown away by the results. I do have an 8" Newtonian that I hardly use and I imagine I could get some decent shots with it in combination with my Celestron NexImage video camera. Still need to try! In terms of Deep Sky photography, my favorite constellation is Orion. Lately, I start almost every imaging session with M42, just to test if everything is working properly. Ironically, my best shot of the Orion Nebula came about this way, just shooting three 90 second subs and two shorter exposures to get the hot center more defined. M42 is a very easy target for imaging, and quite beautiful.
Do you belong to any astronomy related organizations?
I am not a member of any astronomy club, but I do subscribe to Cloudy Nights (free) and Astromart (very inexpensive). I highly recommend these two websites, both for information and for buying equipment.
Do you have any published works such as articles, books, tutorials, videos, etc?
I have published an occasional article back in Holland in the seventies and taught a beginners astronomy workshop in 2011.
There are two of my tutorials on Astrophotography Tonight: one on creating mosaics in Photoshop and the other on astrophotography with inexpensive equipment.
What, in your opinion, is the toughest subject to image?
Wow, there is always an even tougher subject when you get to the next level! I tried the Cone Nebula recently and it did not look like anything. At my current level that one is certainly a challenge – and I am still working on getting the Horsehead Nebula just right, I did a decent widefield with a 180mm telephoto lens two years ago but you need a lot of fotons to make that one pop.
What do you consider to be your best work in astrophotography?
Usually, the best work is the most recent. Some of my moon photographs from 2010 with a 10" Dobsonian (a scope that I sold last year) are still nice, they are all mosaics. I was also happy to get a decent shot of the Veil Nebula last year, not an easy one to image.
Astrophotography has a steep learning curve. What in your opinion is the most difficult part to master?
There are two really difficult parts to astrophotography: the art of perfect guiding and the art of processing. They really go hand in hand as you progress. Getting your polar alignment right, making sure your stars are tiny pinpoints… it's not easy. Because photography is my profession, the processing part came a lot easier to me since I already knew Photoshop. But even with processing, I have learned a lot over the past two years that I did not know when I started. You have to be a little bit obsessive to get this stuff right.
What recommendations can you provide for those who are interested in entering the field of astrophotography?
For anybody who is starting out, I'd say first learn the night sky, the constellations, where the planets are… get a nice 8" Dobsonian to start with and take some photographs of the moon. That's relatively easy and you don't need to track the stars. If you want to do more serious imaging, then be prepared to spend a lot of time and effort – it takes patience and practice. Hands down the best and least expensive imaging scope to start with is the famous Orion 80 ED, which sells for about $300 used. You will need an equatorial mount with a tracking device – I recommend the Celestron CG-5 and the Skywatcher EQ-5. You may want to buy them new for $650 or so, or used for $500, they keep their value quite well. Then you'll need a modified ("modded") DSLR – I got my Canon 1000D used for just under $300. Add a sky pollution filter, a T-adapter with a T-ring… and you are pretty much ready to go!

All change again!
Law firms face a huge logistical and training challenge in 2018, with a totally new SRA Handbook coming into force. Paul Bennett gives an overview of the changes
What does this mean for your law firm?
In summary, four key things are necessary to prepare your firm:
1 – The new Code of Conduct means training your staff on what is changing and how this affects their practice.
2 – Solicitor Accounts Rules – new simpler rules mean more training.
3 – Revising your firm's practice manual, policies and procedures.
4 – Revising your firm's quality manual (if you have one such as ISO 9001 or Lexcel).
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) aim to simplify the current SRA Handbook 2011 with the changes but, as ever, changes mean you need to review what you are currently doing and how it is done to manage the risks arising. For medium and larger firms, this project will last some months.
What are the major changes?
The current 10 SRA Principles are to be reduced to six. The principles remain the fundamental core that every solicitor should work to every day and should have at the forefront of their mind. The ethos behind the change is to focus on the principles and how they affect your day-to-day tasks.
The change will introduce two codes of conduct rather than one - firstly, the Code of Conduct for Solicitors and secondly, the Code of Conduct for Firms.
Solicitors who are owners/managers of the business will be bound by both codes, but employees will be under the individual code of conduct obligations.
Is it any different?
In a word: yes! The professional obligations are put more clearly at the heart of day to day practice. Rule 7.2 of the Code of Conduct for Solicitors (aka the individual code) states:
"You are able to justify your decisions and actions in order to demonstrate compliance with your obligations under the SRA regulatory arrangements."
The new focus is on you, I stress you, being able to justify your actions in every deal, piece of litigation and work that you do. For many solicitors, this will require a significant change in approach, as they probably think only of their professional obligations when a conflict of interest conduct point arises. Now, you must be able to "demonstrate" compliance at all times.
One useful example is the information given to clients at the outset of their matter on, say, service levels, costs and prospects of success. The Code of Conduct for Solicitors states at the new 8.6:
"You give clients information in a way they can understand. You ensure they are in a position to make informed decisions about the services they need, how their matter will be handled and the options available to them."
Your professional obligation will be to ensure clients make an informed decision from the options available. How will you show this? And how will you make sure those you supervise achieve this?
You are responsible for others' actions
The Code of Conduct for Firms aims to make sure that those running law firms have less room to excuse their actions (or failure to act) when dealing with the actions of colleagues. The obligations on the profession are rising. This is evidenced at proposed obligation 8.1, which states:
"If you are a manager, you are responsible for compliance by your firm with this Code. This responsibility is joint and several if you share management responsibility with other managers of the firm."
The SRA are focusing on their ability to hold law firm managers to account, and by making the obligation "joint and several", highlighting that the excuses "it wasn't me" or "it was a firm decision not mine" are expressly not relevant or valid.
I recently spoke jointly with Crispin Passmore of the SRA on this topic at a Law Society event, and Crispin publicly agreed with my analysis that the ethos was key.
This ethos of collective risks is of course familiar to many older solicitors who, prior to the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000, were trading as a partnership under the Partnership Act 1890 which set out 127 years ago that partners had joint and several liability for the actions taken in the firm's name.
What should we be doing?
Compliance officers of law firms and managing partners should be seeking training on the changes. Once they understand the ethos, they can then develop a plan to train their firm. The ethos is different and how the SRA will interpret matters is key, hence the need to take advice

Japanese Road Show to discuss opportunities in ASEAN
From 25-28 April 2012, the Economic Ministers from ASEAN countries and the Secretary-General of ASEAN will attend a road show in Sendai and Tokyo, Japan, to discuss opportunities for Japanese businesses looking for new opportunities in Southeast Asia.
During the road show, the Ministers will hold dialogues with politicians, bureaucrats and business leaders, participate in symposia, tour Japanese companies and factories, and visit the sites affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Issues to be discussed include the overview and status of trade and investment in the region, and there will be a presentation on the prospects of ASEAN regional integration by the ASEAN Secretariat, ADBI and Denso International Asia, a Japanese company operating in Thailand.
The ASEAN Road Show aims at building strategic economic partnerships between Japan and ASEAN countries in public and private sectors and enhancing and promoting trade and investment in East Asia region. It is organized by the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), with support from the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and Tokyo's ASEAN-Japan Centre.

Philippines opening up business links in New Zealand under FTA0
The Philippines Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is keen to expand business links in New Zealand after holding information sessions in Auckland and Wellington this week. It identified key export industries like ship-building, backroom engineering design, nursing/healthcare and other skilled business outsourcing functions as key targets for NZ investment.
Attendees were also interested in the food trade, with the Philippines offering mangoes, coco sugar and coconut oil and New Zealand looking to export its honey and ice cream. New Zealand's 40,000 resident Filipinos would provide a ready-made market for exports.
The Philippines and New Zealand are already covered by the Asean Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA), which began January 2010 and allows Philippine goods to enter New Zealand tax-free until 2020. The information sessions were part of a DTI project designed to highlight opportunities for the Philippines under current agreements, called the 'Doing Business in Free Trade Areas' (DBFTA) Program. As well as AANZFTA, the Philippines also has free trade agreements with China, Japan, Korea, and recently signed with India.
Chamber seeks to raise Indonesian workforce standards0
The arrival of a freer Asean Economic Community in 2015 means Indonesia's workforce will face stiffer competition from Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. Restrictions on movement of labor across Asean members' borders will be removed, and a 2004 survey by the Asian Productivity Association revealed Indonesia ranked a distance below those countries in both productivity rates and skills.
Indonesia's Chamber of Commerce, Kadin, has noted the skills gap. Training programs currently available in Indonesia do not provide the standards required for international business, it says, meaning in-demand workers such as nurses were inadequately qualified for work outside their home country. The head of Kadin's standing committee for workplace competency certification, Sumarna Abdurahman, said the organization would consult with other chambers of commerce across the region to identify the standards required. It even plans to operate its own training center and establish a new National Council for the Development of Industrial Competency Standards. Kadin will also condut further research into which sectors are most likely to require Indonesian workers, noting that demand has so far been greater in low skilled domestic and technical positions.

Asean Economic Community (AEC) at halfway point0
The Secretary General of Malaysia's Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Dr. Rebecca Fatima Sta Maria, gives a brief progress summary of the Asean Economic Community (AEC) project to integrate Southeast Asia's economies into a more cohesive bloc. Started four years ago, the project has another four years to meet its 2015 deadline. How does everything look at the halfway point?
It is important, she says, to look at the goal itself and dispel any notion that Asean is trying to become a customs union or common market in the form of the European Union. Each of the world's regions has its own regional framework to suit the economies and unique conditions of that part of the world, whether it be NAFTA, the Gulf Cooperation Council or UNASUR. With its diversity of economic development and somewhat similar and competing industries, Southeast Asia realizes it is not in a position to form a union anything like the EU… at this stage. So what is the AEC's 2015 aim?
The AEC is, in a nutshell, the realisation of a competitive and dynamic region which allows for free flow of goods, services and investment, and freer flow of capital and skilled workers by 2015. Tariff and non-tariff barriers are to be gradually eliminated.
On the surface these might seem like fairly loose goals, but they're just first steps. ASEAN is aiming at something called 'open regionalism', where the organization as a whole can sign trade treaties but within which individual countries may form their own agreements. Intra-region trade has been made much freer with 95% of traffic now tariff free. The Self-Certification System and the Asean Single Window have sped up trade by reducing bureaucracy and introducing measures to make transportation more efficient. These moves in turn make the region more attractive to outside investors.
The AEC has met 83.8% of its first-phase (2007-09) objectives, and will try to achieve 100% of them plus more in the second phase (2010-11). New measures to ease movement of skilled labor across borders, an aviation 'open skies' policy, healthcare, environmental and tourist cooperation strategies and transparent investment rules are all on the agenda over the coming years.
Planners are confident the AEC can reach its goals and become an attractive and somewhat integrated economy of 600 million people in the next four years. And while ASEAN may not aspire to be like the European Union in the immediate future, there are clearly those who harbor dreams of something closer to it in the longer term.

Japan's Keidanren to 'step up support' for ASEAN investment0
Japan has a lot to offer ASEAN in infrastructure investment, but more freedom of movement in both regions is needed to make it happen. The Japan Business Federation (Keidanren) Chairman Hiromasa Yonekura says his organization will 'step up support' for infrastructure investment and talent exchange, saying investments must be profitable and speculating on how Japanese investors might be persuaded to supply the massive sums of money required.
Yonekura suggested Japan join the Trans-Pacific Partnership to enable its workers to move more freely in other parts of Asia, and that Japan itself open its borders to more immigrant workers, to fill a shortfall in supply created by the country's aging population.
The Japan Business Federation, known locally as Nippon Keidanren, is a powerful and influential federation of Japan's business and economic organizations. Its mission is to build sustainable economies both in Japan and overseas through private enterprise.

Ties between ASEAN & Japan 'very healthy' and growing: AJC1
It's unfortunate that Japan is often overlooked by the world's media these days, as reporters chase frothier stories of economic bonanza on the Asian mainland. But while Japan's star in Southeast Asian business activity may have faded in the past couple of decades, it would be a mistake to assume the trend is permanent, or that there is a declining interest among Japan's tourists, consumers and investors.
Quite the opposite is true. Trade between Japan and the 10 ASEAN members has grown steadily since 1990, from US$60.38 million that year to its 2008 height of $211.05 million. That number dipped to $158.34 million in 2009, a year in which few did well, but its rebound to $200.46 million in 2010 shows a healthy level of activity with a natural urge on both sides to build further ties. Amid increased competition from neighbors China and South Korea, Japan remains a significant player in ASEAN's economy and development.
The ASEAN-Japan Centre (AJC) in Tokyo has played a large role in the relationship. Established in 1981 by the governments of Japan and ASEAN member states, the Centre has remits to invigorate three core activities: exports from ASEAN to the Japanese market, investment from Japan to ASEAN including technology and skills transfer, and Japanese tourism to ASEAN destinations. The AJC also supports and works closely with others such as the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) in finding new markets for Japanese exports, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) on aid and development projects, with government trade and tourism boards from ASEAN countries, and member countries' embassies in Tokyo and around the region. >>
ASEAN stock market link expands to include Thailand, Philippines0
ASEAN Finance Ministers have agreed the region is underperforming economically and hope that new links between the region's stock markets will see a capital inflows and an increase in market liquidity.
The Singapore Exchange and Bursa Malaysia are in the process of setting up a cross trading system allowing much easier access to investors from both countries. In an attempt to speed up integration, this system will now extend to include Thailand and the Philippines. The plan is to go live with three exchanges on board in the second half of 2011, with the Philippines joining in the first half of 2012. Integration will also see the formation of a new ASEAN asset class with common accounting standards.
Foreign investors are generally welcoming of the news, saying it will address ASEAN's main disadvantage: a lack of liquidity. Others caution that increased inflows could create bubbles, and mention that it will be years before less developed countries like Cambodia and Laos are able to join in.
Finance ministers from across the region are currently meeting at the 7th Annual ASEAN Finance Minister's Investor Seminar in Kuala Lumpur.

Southeast Asia continues to recover well, says OECD report0
Southeast Asia has recovered well from the latest financial crisis. Predictions from an OECD report have ASEAN's six major economies growing 7.3% on average this year, and 6% over the coming five years.
The crisis gave the region new opportunities "to rethink past growth strategies and define new development objectives," according to economist Kiichiro Fukasaku at the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development Centre in Tokyo. He also noted efforts towards regional integration as vital to a more balanced growth. The report recommended ASEAN countries diversify their exports and move up the value chain, while stressing the well-known importance of infrastructure improvements.
Estimated growth figures in ASEAN's Big Six for 2011-15 are: Vietnam 7.1%, Indonesia 6.6%, Malaysia 5.5%, Thailand 5.2%, Singapore 4.7% and Philippines 4.6%.

ASEAN integration and its effects on the region0
An article in today's Sydney Morning Herald examines the impact of an integrated ASEAN economy, mostly from an Australian and trade perspective. Were the dreams of ASEAN's planners to come true by 2015 or sometime soon after, it would have a dramatic effect on other regional economies as Southeast Asia build massive transportation infrastructures, harmonized customs and immigration regulations, and opened up the energy and telecommunications markets:
It is the kind of seismic change in regional economic development that, if implemented, will force all sorts of changes in local laws, regulations and procedures.
Moves towards an EU-like integration are driven and influenced by the rapid growth of China and India, increasing competition as well as new investment opportunities in both directions. Smaller countries are finding it harder to get headlines and export industries in Australia may also need a cultural adjustment to transact more effectively with the region.

US companies bullish on Southeast Asia despite some concerns0
US companies are mainly concerned about rising office rents and corruption in Southeast Asia but remain bullish about the region in general, according to a survey by the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham).
AmCham's ASEAN Regional Business Outlook Survey listed office rental and rising housing costs as US businesses' chief worries, but chairman Steven Okun said these conditions were normal in any region with high growth, increased investment and increased hiring. It was something US companies would have to figure out for themselves if they want to move into Southeast Asia, he said.
80% of survey respondents intend to do exactly that. 70% said they expect the region to become more important to global business over the next couple of years, up from 65% in the previous survey. Two thirds said they expect to see a profit increase from this year (down from 70% last year). 82%, however, said they expect bigger profits in 2011. 55% were worried about the impact of corruption in the region.
Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines were seen as the countries with greatest potential for growth. AmCham's survey of 328 US companies operating in Southeast Asia should be good news for ASEAN's Economic Ministers in Vietnam this week, as they downplayed the significance of US Government non-attendance at their meeting but maintained foreign interest in the region is still strong.

So a few weeks ago, quoting Godfather III the whole time, I decided it was time to start raid leading again.
Between the group that actually stuck around, a few friend-of-a-friends that have started running with us, and even a pick-up-player or two, we've actually assembled a relatively reliable group. It's not perfect of course; I maintain my proud tradition of never being able to find a fucking mage, and our group has such variable schedules that getting us all together can be hell. That said, the two runs of Naxx-10 we've done so far have gone remarkably well. The first time we got together, I scheduled 4 hours of time, and considering that many of the group members had yet to see Naxx at all (some were still in level 70 raiding gear) I predicted to the tank beforehand that in that time we'd clear spider wing, and possibly plague wing. I figured we'd pop over and kill Patchwerk at the end of the night, as a nice easy note to go out on. As it turned out we absolutely tore through Spider, Plague, and Military wings in the allotted time, and took out Patchwerk as well.
We had some difficulty with the schedule, but this Saturday just past we went to Naxx for the second time. This time I scheduled 5 hours of time, figuring that given our previous success, it would be wise to give the group some more leeway to really see if we could clear the content.
The group managed to clear the first 3 wings in only 3 hours total, edging out our best time from the previous week by an hour. (Though I DID die on Heigan, ending my perfect record of dance-survival) With two hours to spare, the abomination wing was about to become our bitch. I think there were two wipes in all; one on Grobbulus and one on Gluth. Thaddius went down like a chump; one-shot by the kickass peeps it is my privileged to raid with.
Abom wing was new content for the group though, so it took us a bit of time to clear it. By the time we were done, we were only fifteen or twenty minutes away from the eight o' clock end time for the raid. But we were running high on the adrenalin that comes from clearing content smoothly, and decided to extend the raid time a bit to try our hands at frost quarter.
Saph was easily one-shot, despite only two or three of our people actually possessing prior experience with the fight. Kel'Thuzzad took a tad bit longer, but after four or five attempts, Naxxramas was ours. Full cleared after two weeks.
I think I'm going to stick with the skull theme, as I rather like the aesthetic. But I'm going to do some serious cleaning in the plague and spider wings. Get those wall fixed up, and remove the giant mushrooms. Maybe turn them into guest quarters and a dining hall respectively.

The Sept. 21 execution of Troy Davis affected me the way it did many who saw his picture and read the details. It made me feel sick, and it made me grow even more determined to end the death penalty.
When I say "it made me feel sick," I mean horror at the ritual killing, and sadness about the tragic death Georgia's courts were trying to address. But it also put me in touch with the widespread sickness in which our country's history of violence makes many Americans comfortable with our public executions.
Of our nation's regional histories of violence, I am most familiar with the Deep South where I've lived most of my life. Georgia, where Troy Davis was killed, has one of the worst histories of lynching for example. A Mississippi woman has quilted listings of each lynching victim by state.
Viewing her work at a Louisville museum, my god-daughter asked, "Where's Georgia?" Then we saw an entire separate quilt displayed on the next wall, just to make room for Georgia's list.
Perhaps this history of violence blinds our Bible-believing region to the fact that biblical standards for just executions have never been, and cannot be, met in this country. Instead, the Bible calls us to participate in God's endless mercy.
This recent execution also made me grow more determined to end executions. Over the years I've sent thousands of emails against the death penalty, written to governors and visited one in person, signed petitions and more.
What I needed now, emotionally and spiritually, was a way to express the deep groaning prayer of the Holy Spirit in many of us, a prayer for repentance and a turning toward God's new creation.
Do you remember the Bible story in which God sent a reluctant prophet, Jonah, to give the Ninevites another chance to repent?
When they repented they covered both themselves and their animals with "sackcloth."
Just imagine all the U.S. tools of execution being draped with sackcloth as our society repents and turns to God. To take one prayerful step in that direction, I draped my mailbox with sackcloth and will keep it there 40 days and explain the unsightly drape to my neighbors.
Another action has been to promote the training sessions for pastoral leaders that will take place in Louisville on Nov. 16 and Berea on Nov. 17. We opponents of the death penalty need to support each other and become more effective. Please read about it at the Kentucky Council of Churches web site, sign up and spread the word.
I spoke at a church-related college just before Davis was killed. An undergraduate from Norway said that people in many countries were trying to prevent this execution. Frederick's anguished questions about the death penalty, a practice repudiated in most of the world, kept my audience riveted.
Frederick, if you're reading this, please forgive us for failing to stop it — and pray for us.

The food was good though.
Breakfast was baked tempeh with avocado and steamed kale. I wasn't as crazy about this tempeh as I was the smoked temphe from the other day but I think that was more about the marinade than the tempeh. It was a little too salty for me, which is saying something because I salt the shit out of everything.
But I cut up the avocado in little pieces and mixed it in with the kale and it was YUMMY!!
Lunch, as I said, was at 2:30 and by that time the last thing on my mind was taking pictures, but it was quinoa salad and microgreen salad and I think we've seen enough pictures of that now haven't we? I have to admit I'm pretty tired of making microgreen salad but I'm not tired of eating it. I do, however, have to make more creamy garlic salad dressing tomorrow as I used up the end of it with lunch. That recipe is a definite keeper.
After work I got to see The Boy for a bit. He's "back home" from his ten day stay at his dad's. I put that in quotes because 1) even when he stays with his dad he comes home frequently to shower and pick up clothes and 2) he's 17, so he's rarely actually home, it's more a question of who he checks in with and who sets his curfew.
Even though he's my height and very much turning into a man, I still feel like he grew while he was gone, and matured a little. He has a job now, just started this past Tuesday, so that could have a lot to do with it. That or he's just tired from four days of hard labor and that makes him look older to me.
After a quick visit (if meeting him at the gas station to fill his tank can be considered a 'visit') I came home and made dinner.
I don't mind telling you that I was NOT looking forward to this dinner. I thought it was going to be a royal pain in the ass to make, three separate recipes, and also I didn't think I'd like it.
I was wrong. And I would like to say this again for a certain gentleman I know who says women never admit when they're wrong. I....WAS....WRONG.
Even after the gas station detour, and then another visit where he brought his (dirty) laundry home and chatted briefly, dinner was still ready by 7:10. Given that I've been eating around 8 most nights, that's a win. And most of that cooking time was actually spent doing things like sorting laundry and changing light bulbs while the oven did all the heavy lifting.
I don't like beets. Never have. To be brutally honest, they're blecky. But in roasted root medley they're divine. I don't like zucchini. It's gross. But in zucchini cashew soup it's sublime. I've never had toasted millet. I'd like to come up with another lovely adjective. But it's just okay. It's a grain. Like rice or quinoa. Not really any better than brown rice. It was dry, almost the consistency of stuffing, but that could just mean I overcooked it. But with a healthy dose of Bragg's Liquid Aminos and salt, it was good.
Trifecta of yum
The most exciting thing about my evening was that I'm off work tomorrow so I didn't have to cook tomorrow's lunch before I cleaned up the kitchen. So I spent that time on the phone with a certain gentleman who now knows I WAS RIGHT when I said I was able to admit when I'm wrong. I had this conversation in my comfy chair. That was the first time I sat in it in a week.
So now the kitchen is clean and I've enjoyed the sunset on my deck. I find myself with two hours until The Boy has to be home and nothing to do. Here is the adjective for which I was searching for a use earlier.....heavenly.

The November wind, rain and sunshine provided a full rainbow welcome for Widnes at Gorton Street on Sunday. It would appear that the weather was forecasting a game that was going to be a mixed bag with some notable highlights. When the lads put their skills into practice and beat the challenges of winter chilled hands to keep hold of the ball, a few Guy Fawkes firework moments were also thrown into the mix.
With a number of players absent as a result of County duty and Half term holidays Eccles fielded a squad of only 16 so everyone had to be switched, alert and up for it. Play began with Wiggi putting in a good catch from the kick off, leading into a spell of attacking play from Eccles with Wes passing to Jack who off loaded onto Ivan but the attack wasn't quite enough to get over the visitors line. Then Widnes fancied ago and booted the ball down field , but Cammy stepped in to show his competent full back skills with a cool collection under pressure, play continued, then a penalty kick was awarded to Widnes but wasn't converted 0-0
Play restarted with Daniel Smithan off on one of his strong runs, passing to Jack who put in a brilliant box kick, then Widnes broke through and were on the attack for the line, and despite Omar and Graisdon's best efforts (stretching as far as they could to put the attacker off his balance by tapping his ankles) Widnes were over the line but missed the conversion 0-5
Play restarted as Wes broke through heading for the line under the sticks, he passed to Daniel Smithan, who offloading to Daniel Wilson kept the attack going with Dean who passed onto Wes for him to finish what he had started. 5-5 as the conversion missed.
The kick off started another Eccles attack, but the flow of play was interrupted by the referee awarding a penalty to Widnes, but as Goso went in for the next tackle he managed to turn the ball over to Danny Wilson, who was off on one of his runs. Jack put in another ground gaining kick as Eccles continued with their attack. Widnes came back with a spell of their own, but then there was another line out, Goso won it and onto Daniel Wilson, Eccles continued to build the pressure and Daniel Wilson was off again from the tap and over to Jack who jinked round the Widnes defence and he was in under the sticks 12- 5 as he converted it too. Brilliant solo effort on his part.
The first half came to a close just after Widnes came back on the attack, gaining another penalty along the way but were met by the Eccles forwards who's defences remained strong, Stephen putting in his try saving tackles, the Daniels on runs and tackling too, Bob winning the ball at the scrums, Goso & Dean ripping balls at the mauls and Wes linking in with the backs from the flanker position. The backs Ivan, Graisdon and Omar were chasing kicks from Jack, Cammy with Jordan and Nathan putting in some tasty tackles to keep the score 12 -5.
Following the tussle of the forwards in the first half the second half started with both teams trying to gain advantage by kicking, which resulted in a line out where Goso won the ball and passed it out to the backs, Omar was off, passing onto Graisdon, then to Cammy back to Graisdon for him cross the line under the sticks, and Jack coolly converted making it 19 -5 and it was beginning to feel very comfy.
Wiggi collected the ball from the kick and passed onto Dean then Widnes sneak possession and Wiggi and Dean both had to switch into defence mode quickly, giving Widnes no other option than to kick the ball downfield in an attempt to gain advantage resulting in another cool collection from Cammy who booted the ball far down field back into the Widness half. Aaron came on from the bench on the wing just as Widnes launched an attack down the wing fortunately having breached the Eccles defence Widnes fumbled their chance of a try under the sticks. Jordan stepped in to take the ball from one of their kicks and started off another Eccles attack but was pulled back by the referee awarding a penalty for offside. Stephen rescued possession from an Eccles fumble, which then possession fell back to Widnes again for one of their players to put in more of a football than a rugby pass which was followed by a quiet word from the referee.
Some frustration was beginning to creep into the team, possession was fluctuating between both sides but once Jack got the ball at the next scrum he was off on a darting run, ducking round the Widnes defence linking with Daniel Wilson, who was backed up by Wes, who then generously off loaded to Graisdon who capitalized on the team effort by going over in the corner to bring the score up to 24-5.
After another spell of fluctuating possession saw Jack on the floor with a knee injury with a splash of the magic water he was soon to be up and off again. The pressure was soon on with Wiggi to Bob, going for the line passing back Jordan ending just short of the line. Ivan and Stephen then had to concentrate efforts with their defensive positions however somehow Widnes broke through and were in under the sticks and landing the conversion to make the score now 24- 12
There then followed a period where Eccles appeared to lose both shape and form resulting in Nathan getting a yellow card and to spend the next 10 minutes on the touchline. Widnes took advantage of the extra man were over again on the far side of the pitch with the conversion in the bag making it only 24-19 and it wasn't feeling so comfy now.
Another attack from Widnes which was foiled by their fumble, but Daniel Wilson got the ball from the line out and went for it with a fast dash for the line, passing to Bob, onto Graisdon who ran for what seemed like 3/4 s of the pitch ending with his 3rd. try of the day, which Cammy kindly converted to make it 31-19.
Despite the score line feeling slightly more comfortable the pressure from both sides continued to build, Stephen and Wiggi continued to put in some big tackles , and all of the forwards concentrated on maintaining the defence. Jack had to leave the field through injury meaning Cammy had to step in at scrum half and the backs looked totally switched on primed and waiting for another chance to attack. But as the minutes were ticking it looked like Widnes were going to have the last say going in over in the corner but were denied by some good defence by Eccles and Dean Fellows grounding the ball only to have a member of the opposing team knee him in the back which caused some frustrations to boil over into a few fireworks which needed the referee to intervene before he blew the whistle on the final score 31 -19.
Mums summary – today appeared to be a taster of the possible challenges which may lay ahead, the team continue to show they are at their best when they play for each other, the forwards strong and dominating in the scrums and line outs winning the possession for the backs, who are eager to convert into points, everyone putting in the work in defence with many text book tackles, there is a BUT!, the unnecessary lapses of discipline are an area for improvement as it could cost the team dear if it's not sorted sooner rather than later.

Hi 214 Families! Please find the weeks objectives/plans below!
Reading Workshop: After having a lot of fun finding literary language, we have moved on to learning about inference. Students are using schema (what they know) + text clues to make inferences about what they are reading. Students are practicing speaking and writing with the prompt " I can infer______ because______". To push themselves and to get 4 star post-its (we will create a rubric this week) they will include " In the text it says…." and include text evidence. We will circle back to literary language again- the kids are still finding lots of examples in their texts and having the most fun with onomatopoeia (of course!).
Writing Workshop: The kids wrote fantastic opinion pieces about various Civil Rights Leaders we learned about in Social Studies. We have returned to writing about our favorite books and will continue learning about opinion writing for the next month. Students will be challenged to find different ways to support their opinions and gather strong evidence.
They will receive new spelling words on Monday!
Math: We will have a math review for Unit 6 tomorrow and take the test on Tuesday. We will begin Unit 7 on Wednesday!
Social Studies: We will wrap up our unit on the Harlem Renaissance and Civil Rights Leaders this week and will begin our unit on Women's History Month on Thursday (for march)!
Science: We had quite the experience making ooblek! Kids were challenged with trying to figure out what makes something a non-newtonian fluid. We will discuss it in greater detail this week.

Is someone scared of buying a refurbished phone? If you are, then why? A refurbished phone is a type of phone that has been used at the showroom for display for a period of time and after use at the showroom it is then sent back to the manufacturing company for a re-check or examination and after this recheck, it is returned to the market for sale. Or, a refurbished phone is a phone that was sent back to a buyer due to some fault or probably the buyer does not want the phone again and so, the buyer returns it to the seller; when a phone is returned to a seller, the seller returns it to the manufacturing company and after it is sent back after a recheck of the hardware components then it is put up for sale.
You should not be scared of buying a refurbished phones because they a good and quality phones that have gone through hardware re-examination twice and in the process phone faults are duly checked.
Refurbished phones are phones that are returned to the market at low-cost prices. They come with a 40-50% discounts on the original prices of the phones. So, imagine buying an iPhone 7 at a 50% discount of the real price for the new type, I guess that is really a whopping deal.
To enjoy the best of this great deal, get yourself any of these refurbished Apple I-phones - 5c, 5s,6, 6s, 7, 7s on the Jumia Kenya Online store.

text: The 1902 team was led by three 20 game winners during the first year of the American Association Winning the first ever American Association title, the Indians were instantly the team to beat in the A.A. By the time they moved to Washington Park II however, they were the perhaps the team that was most "beatable". They still had one good pitcher in the name of Clyde Goodwin (23-12) who would play for the Washington Senators, but the Indians finished the season with a 69-83 record while Tom McCreery hit 19 2B, 14 3B and batted .303. That was a step up from the 1906 season which saw 96 losses come to Washington Park at the hands of future St. Louis Browns' Red Fisher (10-22) and former Cleveland Indians' Jack Hickey (7-19). The club began to see a change for the positive side in 1907. They still lost 81 games but the pendulum was swinging the other way now thanks to Charlie Carr who batted .315 with 25 2B and 10 3B. By 1908, the Indians were poised to strike… and did they ever.

August 18th, 2016 - Full Moon in Aquarius ( Bonus | Partial Lunar Eclipse too! )
This month's full moon is all about creating miracles, becoming a teacher, and healing yourself.
It might have felt a bit rough lately! In this stress, you may have noticed a bit of competition sneaking up, jealously towards you, or even threats - or actual - destruction of your idea. However, this rough patch looks to be clearing!
These happenings were no accident. You were seeking an answer, in which you may have recently found, that has spurred you into pursuing your life purpose. This darkness gave your life purpose, goals, manifestations, and creative projects meaning in your life. In speaking your truth, and taking actions on new projects, you began to move the darkness out effortlessly.
Now, as the moon is full.....
You might feel a strong push to create and live your truth during this full moon. In turn, what you are creating in the world becomes a sort of miracle for the people it impacts.
Your creations begin to show abundance in places that were desolate and abandoned; in places where there was an extreme lack of anything but surviving.
This creation or project can become a healing for the community of people around you. This full moon shows a possibility of spiritual completion. Because of this, there is a huge shift into giving to yourself. You understand that healing yourself has a huge domino effect on the world. Now it is your turn. During this full moon, you are offered an opportunity to begin to create your life, and in turn, all the miracles of abundance begin to show up in your life as well.
If you notice that you begin to feel nervous about really having your dream life, - ie, procrastination, excuses, more life problems in the way, moving really slow, or experience anxiety in your body - just look back on your life and see how much you have given to everyone around you in your life. This is an opportunity to take time to acknowledge how much you have really accomplished while helping others. Allow yourself to see the larger impact you have in other's lives.
This full moon is also stimulating a transition into the sage, wise teacher, or mentor in you. With your main life purpose accomplished, you can be begin to become simply amused with the practice of teaching alongside the eagerness of the younger generation.
For fun, you may even begin to mentor a younger person who is a part of the next generation. In this stage of wisdom, and sharing what you've learned about life, there is so much permission to be true to who you are and have fun with it all!
The full moon is shinning a light on the fact that this is the time for you. You've earned it. You have spent many lifetimes giving to others and healing your communities.
Now, is the time for you to heal. Now, is the time you give back to you. Now, is the time of relaxing into the beautiful life you are creating for yourself. Happy Full Moon!
BONUS | Partial Lunar Eclipse on August 18th, 2016
Earlier this morning, we experienced a partial solar eclipse. This means that the moon was "almost' completely covered by the earth's shadow - a partial eclipse.
This month, the full moon really speaks to your everyday life while the partial eclipse really really speaks to the deepest parts of your soul.
This partial lunar eclipse is really solidifying a big step forward in your life.
With the help of the eclipse, you may notice there is a very strong sense of what you do not want in your life any longer. This strong feeling may even be finally spoken as a boundary in your life. Thus, this very strong desire is allowing you to truly begin exploring what you DO want in your life.
During this partial lunar eclipse, you may notice that you begin to step away from being the go-to problem solver for the people around you. With more of your time and energy available to you, you can start to use that strong problem solving ability, or your ability to know what to do next, in your own life. You get to heal your own life!
The partial lunar eclipse is also stimulating that there is big opportunity to make a strong decision, to move forward in your life, into something very new; the next chapter of your life. It is kind of like crossing an old line. Once you take the step forward, you might see opportunities come faster because you are focus on what you desire.
In focusing on your own desires - your own path - you end up inspiring the people in your life. You being you, is a beautiful healing for the world.

Background on Dean Albertson
A long-time faculty member at UMass Amherst, Dean Albertson was an historian of the twentieth century United States with a specialty in oral history. A veteran of the Second World War, Albertson received his BA from University of California Berkeley (1942) and doctorate from Columbia (1955), joining the Department of History at UMass in 1965 after several years at Brooklyn College. The author of books on Dwight Eisenhower, Claude Wickard (Franklin Roosevelt's Secretary of Agriculture), and the student movements of the 1960s, Albertson was interested throughout his career in new methods in research and teaching history. He died at his home in Longmeadow, Mass., on March 31, 1989, at the age of 68.
Scope of collection
Dean Albertson's History 384 class at UMass Amherst, required students to conduct oral histories relating to a theme in contemporary U.S. history chosen each year. Between 1975 and 1977, Albertson's students interviewed social activists of the 1960s and early 1970s, participants and observers in the North End riots of 1975 in Springfield, Massachusetts, and war and nuclear power resisters. The collection includes transcripts of 15 interviews conducted during this period, as well as the students' papers, which put the transcripts into context.

Are we Not Men? We are Devo!
No, the name of Gerald Casale's new band is Jihad Jerry and the Evildoers. And no, I'm not making that one up. And, I don't know if he is making a political statement with the band name either (of whichever stripe?).
Largely ignorable article about his new online music launch. Never cared for Devo, so I'm not going to go online and test drive a song from Casale's new offering. I just thought it sad/strange that he is A) Still playing dress-up. And B) Desperately clinging to tiny remnants of past fame (though seeing Butch Patrick at the L.A. County Fair, year before last, selling autographs was more so).
I will however give Casale credit, for being able to wear that suit twice in one lifetime.
Yesterday's LP playlist:
1) Nat, the Christmas Song (later blue Capitol).
2) The Waynester, Danke Schoen (orange Capitol).
3) Elvis is Back! (33/box logo). Who needs the latest Manchester sound? "Fever" has nothing but a well mic'ed stand up bass, with a tiny smattering of drum occasionally tossed in. Atmospherics in spades.
4) Elvis' Christmas Album (early mono as well). Elvis lays down a fetching blues rock groove. Both albums have tight production values, but Elvis enjoys impressive freedom on both.
5) Hoagy Carmichael (an 80's MCA collection). Sometimes scary and intense. Almost always masterful.
6) Mahalia, Silent Night (red back Columbia). Solemnity, power, dignity, magnitude.
