Eric Steltzer - Senior Consultant
In today's modern world, we are constantly striving for progress. It is expected that lights will turn on when they are needed, trains will get people to their destinations quickly and mobile phones can access the latest facebook posts from even the most remote Munro peak. Progress is built on the bedrock of stable and secure infrastructure, which requires constant enhancement and renewal to meet our increasing demand. With a growing and shifting population and the need to site new infrastructure within a densely populated area like the UK, we are presented with a significant challenge.
The siting challenges in the energy sector are greater still. The Government is looking to reduce the cost of electricity in particular and last year passed the Electricity Market Reform measures which strives to provide the financial security required to raise capital to fund projects 'off the books'. At the European level we are also seeing leaders working to develop a framework to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. Our energy market will need to site new types of infrastructure which have greater security, lower carbon intensities and minimise costs.
My interest in environmental planning of infrastructure projects originated in 2001 when an offshore wind project was proposed in the waters near Cape Cod, Massachusetts U.S.A. This area had been my playing ground growing up and I have a special attachment to it from my days of catching striped bass from its waters. The project interested me because it was the first time I experienced like-minded environmental groups pitted against each other with claims of how the project would mar the ocean views, or that it would solve all of our climate change concerns. These comments revealed less about the actual benefits or impacts of the project, and more about the deep values people held for the natural resources of the sound.
While the project in Massachusetts is an ocean away, the public sentiment towards renewable energy projects and the requirements for rigorous environmental assessments are common place here in the UK. The public consent process grapples with questions about noise impacts, disruption to protected wildlife species, or the effects on housing prices. These factors can constrain the siting of these needed services and drive up costs for the whole industry. Public consultation features strongly in the consent process and Temple are running a training course on it in early December.
The offshore renewable energy market will face considerable constraints on growth from finding suitable locations. At the same time the Crown Estate has an ambitious goal to have 10GW of electricity capacity by the year 2020, a tripling of the current capacity. The cumulative impact assessments have been a focus in the industry as a greater number of sites are approved. This combination of market need with significant constraints present fertile ground for innovation and UK ingenuity.
Innovation in setting the boundaries of the development of the technology can help protect the environment whilst ensuring that we can deliver the infrastructure that we all need. At the RenewableUK annual conference in Manchester on 11-13 November, I will be presenting on environmental economic methods that can gauge people's value for the marine environment, such as ocean views. It will hopefully produce a lively discussion on the merits to these techniques and whether it can add value to current methodologies.
This innovation challenge presents big questions. How will the market respond to the Contracts for Difference (CfD) mechanism in the EMR? Is £100/MWh by 2020 achievable for offshore wind? Can wave and tidal energy technologies become financially viable for wider commercial use? Is a European super grid possible?
These questions intrigue me. Similar to the environmentalists who are pitted against each other in Massachusetts, it is the underlying values I find so important: creating jobs for people in the UK; protecting our environment; and supporting affordable energy for vulnerable populations. These are common core goals behind the questions, and they are goals that few people oppose. It is through these common values that we can find mutual partnerships to overcome hurdles, and drive new insights to accomplish our joint aspirations.

In the August 2, 2012 issue of Rolling Stone magazine, noted environment writer Bill McKibben published a must-read piece of great importance. McKibben cuts through reams of complexity to find the simple math that determines the accelerating rate of climate change, what the threshold point is, and how the current global corporate-state plan is to exceed it. Whatever the flaws in his liberal politics or limitation of his proposed solution to the mother of all problem, McKibben deftly shows how urgent a crisis climate change really is.
Some highlights from the article:
"The official position of planet Earth at the moment is that we can't raise the temperature more than two degrees Celsius – it's become the bottomest of bottom lines. Two degrees…."
"Since we've increased the Earth's temperature by 0.8 degrees so far, we're currently less than halfway to the target. But, in fact, computer models calculate that even if we stopped increasing CO2 now, the temperature would likely still rise another 0.8 degrees, as previously released carbon continues to overheat the atmosphere. That means we're already three-quarters of the way to the two-degree target."
"With only a single year's lull in 2009 at the height of the financial crisis, we've continued to pour record amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, year after year…carbon emissions will keep growing by roughly three percent a year – and at that rate, we'll blow through our 565-gigaton allowance [before crossing the tipping point of 2 degrees Celcius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) average global temperature rise] in 16 years, around the time today's preschoolers will be graduating from high school. `The new data provide further evidence that the door to a two-degree trajectory is about to close', said Fatih Birol, the IEA's chief economist. In fact, he continued, `When I look at this data, the trend is perfectly in line with a temperature increase of about six degrees.' That's almost 11 degrees Fahrenheit, which would create a planet straight out of science fiction."
"We have five times as much oil and coal and gas on the books as climate scientists think is safe to burn. We'd have to keep 80 percent of those reserves locked away underground to avoid that fate. Before we knew those numbers, our fate had been likely. Now, barring some massive intervention, it seems certain."
"The three numbers I've described are daunting — they may define an essentially impossible future. But at least they provide intellectual clarity about the greatest challenge humans have ever faced. We know how much we can burn, and we know who's planning to burn more."
"What all these climate numbers make painfully, usefully clear is that the planet does indeed have an enemy – one far more committed to action than governments or individuals. Given this hard math, we need to view the fossil-fuel industry in a new light. It has become a rogue industry, reckless like no other force on Earth. It is Public Enemy Number One to the survival of our planetary civilization."
"Climate change operates on a geological scale and time frame, but it's not an impersonal force of nature; the more carefully you do the math, the more thoroughly you realize that this is, at bottom, a moral issue; we have met the enemy and they is Shell."
"I can say with some confidence that we're losing the fight, badly and quickly – losing it because, most of all, we remain in denial about the peril that human civilization is in."

Kissin' Dynamite Debut "Six Feet Under" Music Video
Kissin' Dynamite Debut "Six Feet Under" Music Video
October 9, 2012
German hard rockers Kissin' Dynamite have posted a video for the single "Six Feet Under". The track appears on the band's latest album 'Money, Sex & Power', which SleazeRoxx.com said was "boasting a brash-yet-familiar blend of stadium rock combining a sleaze edge with pop hooks and sing-along choruses", released on March 23rd through AFM Records.
In July 2008, Kissin' Dynamite's 'Steel Of Swabia' was released; a debut album of teenagers with their singer just 16 years old! What puzzled everyone though was how much this "teen band" rocked — just as good as the greats like Motley Crue, Whitesnake, AC/DC, and Guns N' Roses. No wonder this first-class debut album was released on the major label EMI, as the quality of this young group was only too obvious. So enjoyable was that album that the prominence of metal was thrilled, so much in fact that legendary Udo Dirkschneider (ex-Accept/U.D.O.) contributed vocals to the title track of the second Kissin' Dynamite album 'Addicted To Metal' in 2010. That album then again received great reviews and helped to establish and refine the thunderous Kissin' Dynamite sound.
With 'Money, Sex & Power' Kissin' Dynamite come up with the third chapter in their history — and they deliver the biggest blow yet. Never were they hungrier, more determined or better. Authentic, raw, melodic and powerful — Kissin' Dynamite live their music and are more than willing to unleash its irrepressible power!

Thanks Janet!ReplyDelete
Wow! It looks great! I'm amazed at all the detail! How big is it? (the drawing) Just wondering, because I have such a hard time adding detail to my own watercolors!ReplyDelete
Thanks Raena! the paper is just over A4...I normally work on this size the mango jar is approx 8" (20cm)height and I used a 2/0 paintbrush....(for my cheongsam last week I put an acrylic pattern on and just washed over with watercolour which saved alot of hassle)this one I added most detail after background washes.... I tried to send you an email but don't have Outlook Express any more (and the dashboard link only seems to open that way...)will try in the morning. I am loving your portraits so far.ReplyDelete
Tricky!? OMG, if I could draw one as well it'd be framed and hanging on the wall!ReplyDelete
I can't believe my eyes when I saw all the writings on the bottles =) Is there any detail that you missed AT ALL?? Terrific job with the glass and those shines!ReplyDelete
you capture curries on lamma for me...great sketch...thanks DebraReplyDelete

| One Man Army
Posted by SJ Zero
Powerusrs Gaming is no more. It has lost it's purpose. QBXL Magazine and it's subsites now completely cover the editorial side of things, so it's time to drop any pretenses and just create a site dedicated to One Man Army Games and the various projects we're working on..
Welcome to One Man Army games!
Now, for a complete rundown of the status of the various projects.
DJRPG Role Playing Game Development Kit
This program is being developed alongside Quest for a King. An early version of the new level editor is included in the Quest for a King win32 package to give you an indication of what to expect in the future. The level editor itself is almost complete, missing only a few key features. After the level editor is complete, I will add a method to edit sprites from the level editor, and a method to easily and quickly design, implement, and manage scripts visually, without prior programming knowlege.
Quest for a King
The version on this site, 1.5, is a complete windows port. It also has several earth shattering bugs I have to fix before the 1.6 release. Regardless, it shows a fully functional windows port with far superior compatiblity, control, graphics and sound than the final DOS version. If you want to get an idea of where Quest for a King is going, check out the win32 demo for a good idea.
Nietzsche is, as far as I'm concerned, finished until the DJRPG engine port powering Quest for a King is completely finished and ready to have a final release. Nietzsche is not a priority, but when it becomes one, I'd like to give it an art overhaul similar to the one Quest for a King has recieved so far.
Star Phalanx
Star Phalanx is a completely playable and enjoyable game. All the changes to be made to it are intended to make it even better. For example:
-Network co-operative multiplayer support!
-High scores tracked through the internet, so you can see who has the highest scores of all time!
-A completely redone menu system to allow for full customization of the controls using the UltimaLib input library
-Moving the renderer to omaLib will increase speed by several times
-Enemy spawn scripting to ensure a consistent experience
Rambo Vs. Kitty Cat
This silly game is actually deceptively fun, so I'm going to continue developing it. Right now, I have four priorities:
-Create a menu for it
-Add sound
-Create many more levels and make an end-of-level object
-Add more weapons

I bet you think this post is about baseball. Shows what you know.
We are all human. (if you're reading this and aren't human, contact me. We need to talk). And, as humans we have certain things we do. One of those things is, we insult people.
There are many reasons why we insult people. Sometimes, we don't need a reason to insult someone. We just do it. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it...well, insulting.
There are many ways to insult people. You can use words of pictures to degrade them, you can call them names, you can ridicule something about them.....There are literally hundreds of ways you can insult someone.
One of the ways we insult each other is with the use of gestures. And, here in America, the gesture we prefer is showing someone the back of your closed fist and raising the middle finger. We've all done it. And we'll all do it again. Generally, we use it instead of saying "fork you", or "fork off".
Americans, and many western countries, use this gesture to mean basically the same thing.
But, did you know that the first recorded use was in a play written by Aristophanes in Greece about 2,500 years ago? He used it in a comedy, making a joke about someone who confused a penis and a finger. (not the brightest bulb, I guess)
But, it was already in use in Greece before then. Just not as an insult. It was originally used to indicate anal sex. Much like todays youth will sometimes use the thumb and forefinger of one hand to make a circle, and then jab it repeatedly with the index finger of the other hand to indicate sex, the middle finger was used to either brag about having anal sex, or to suggest having it.
Over time though, it migrated from the Greeks to the Romans, and the Romans are thought to have changed the meaning to "shove it up your ass".
In fact, the middle finger has been a popular gesture in Italy since then. And the Romans, of course, spread it's use to it's territories. (except England, where they use a two finger version. And, I'm not getting into the story about the archers at Agincourt...)
It is believed the gesture migrated it's way to America with Italian immigrants. The first recorded use in America came in 1886 by Charles 'Old Hoss' Radbourn. Old Hoss was a baseball pitcher for the Boston Beaneaters, and was photographed with his team, flipping off the camera.
And, that brings us to todays picture. You didn't see it, did you? Well, look again. Top row on the left. (the picture was taken in New York for a New York paper. And Boston and New York have been rivals since....forever.)
Now, we know the gesture was used before this picture was taken, but no one is sure when it actually hit our shores.
But, your right to display the Rigid Digit Salute is protected. In 1976, in Connecticut, a 16 year old flipped off a police officer. The officer charged him with obscene behavior. An appellate court ruled that while the gesture was offensive, it was not obscene. The state supreme court upheld the decision. Courts have continually confirmed the finger is protected by the first amendment, as long as it's not used in an overtly sexual manner.
So go ahead. Flip off a cop. They can't do anything about it. Unless you request anal sex at the same time....

Custom building is always one part creative execution and one part technical challenge.
This eastern seaboard-style home was no different. Burkholder and the architect worked to design and build a magnificent northern Michigan home as envisioned by the customer that still conformed to an irregularly shaped piece of property. The result? A grand scale 4,300 square foot, fieldstone-accented residence that has a sense of belonging amidst the trees and water of the region.
The home features:
- A completely round turret designed for an upstairs office and downstairs sunroom
- Custom trim and cabinets in the turret
- Extensive use of indigenous fieldstone
- Custom-built cherry kitchen, including cabinets and floors
- Cedar shake roof and siding
- A family-sized fieldstone fireplace
- An all-cedar den and game room
- Covered porches
- Second level view deck

Skip to comments.Free Republic Purge: Conservative Web Site Bans Giuliani Supporters
Posted on 05/26/2007 1:49:34 PM PDT by Eurotwit
A few weeks ago in between Hillary Clintons official entry into the presidential race and the first Republican primary debate of the cycle the fiery online conservative forum Free Republic marked a decade in operation as one of the premier online forums for right-wing political discussion.
It also experienced one of the biggest internal battles to rock the site since the 2000 election of George W. Bush -- a tumultuous campaign year that nearly tore the site apart, as its founder and chief administrator first cleansed commenting ranks of Bush supporters, then, later, rallied to his support.
At the heart of the latest controversy: the fight over the conservative bona fides of Rudy Giuliani.
Over the past few weeks, chaos has reigned in the Freeper community as members sympathetic to the former mayor's candidacy claim to have suffered banishment from the site. They were victimized, they say, by a wave of purges designed to weed out any remaining support for the Giuliani campaign on the popular conservative web forum. Another significant chunk of commenters have migrated away from the controversial site over the action, according to a number of former site members and conservative bloggers who have been tracking the situation.
In a plaintive post on the blog Sweetness & Light, exiled commenter Steve Gilbert, who says he does not support the former mayors campaign, blasted the sites new anti-Giuliani, anti-abortion jihad. Since George W. Bush was elected president, he wrote, there havent been any large scale [Free Republic] purges to speak of until now.
The fight began one month ago, when site founder Jim Robinson posted an anti-Giuliani manifesto titled: Giuliani as the GOP presidential nominee would be a dagger in the heart of the conservative movement. Then the virtual ax started to swing. Longtime posters to the freewheeling discussion threads, used to serious no-holds-barred web etiquette, were still stunned by the intensity of the anti-Rudy activity; conservative blogs buzzed with the development.
Jim Robinson has been going on a tear demonizing Rudy Giuliani, because Rudy (agreeing with the vast majority of Americans), is personally opposed to abortions on a moral level complained a user on the GOPUSA Web site. Anyone who posts any support for Giuliani at the site, if it's at all forceful, will be banned.
(Normally, we don't allow complaints about other conservative forums, chided the moderator, but because it is being discussed all over the Internet, I'll make an exception.)
Just a few months ago, Rudy Giuliani placed second in an early Free Republic straw poll; now, his support on the site has been virtually eliminated. After the April Purge, I don't think there are any Rudybots left around here, noted Free Republic commenter upchuck in one recent post. And if there are, they're not posting pro-Rudy stuff :).
The forums werent the only venue for the Free Republics new antagonism toward Mr. Giuliani, which coincided with a wave of comments expressing similar sentiments from other corners of the conservative movement. A few days after Mr. Giulianis equivocal Roe v. Wade comments at the Republican presidential debate on May 3, a new STOP RUDY NOW News & Information Thread was featured on the site, and a newly-created stand-alone category debuted via a link from the homepage: The Giuliani Truth File. (So far this campaign season, Mr. Giuliani is the only candidate Republican or Democratic to be singled out for that level of scrutiny from the Free Republic.)
Why Rudy? Why now? Some conservative bloggers and former commenters contacted for their view of the continuing controversy say they believe that site founder Jim Robinson holds ideologically middling Republicans like Mr. Giuliani responsible for the GOPs congressional loss and current woes. (They asked that their names be kept out of this story for fear of antagonizing the famously frisky site regulars.)
Others claim that the former mayors top-tier status is spurring frantic site administrators into action. Finally, one popular theory holds that the Free Republic is secretly hoping for another Clinton presidency that would send its Alexa ratings soaring back to levels it hasnt experienced since its halcyon days of the Clinton impeachment, when a since-soured relationship with blog pioneer Matt Drudge and overwhelming anti-Clinton sentiment in Republican ranks helped make Free Republic one of the hottest Web sites in the nation. It hasn't recovered that luster since the Bush administration took over.
Its not a conspiracy theory, its an observation, said one blogger, who describes himself as a half-hearted Mitt Romney supporter. Theyve still got a brand name that means something, but theyre not what they were in terms of real-world impact. A Hillary presidency would get them there.
Robinson himself could not be reached for comment, but his original post laid out his case against Mr. Giuliani a graphics-heavy presentation of some of the former mayors most damning moderate quotes in mainstream media venues, along with a color-coded report card tracking his less-than-doctrinaire positions on abortion, immigration, gays and guns.
Robinson, it should be noted, famously blasted George W. Bushs presidential candidacy back in 2000, before a dramatic late-campaign about-face that saw him emerge as one of the GOP tickets biggest supporters. But whether or not Free Republic experiences a similar election-year shift this cycle, the sites current campaign is spreading a dangerous primary-season meme of Rudy Giuliani as big-city liberal and turning one of the most influential web forums in conservatism into an exclusive gathering place for those who share that view.
Then again, he is a Tancredo supporter :-P
I'm a member of that site. I haven't been there in a couple of weeks. I don't remember seeing his name.
I used to go to LP, I think I posted there once. I mainly just lurked to read what he had to say.
I'll go to that discussion thread and see what he has to say on FF. Thanks.
Wyoming trip where he was gathering information on a new book.
Will this be his third or fourth book?
Thanks for the info.
I've seen a post or two suggesting that we should punish our nation by allowing Hillary to become president. As an observer of the Clintons for the last 33 years, I find that philosophy to be absolutely insane. If Hillary is elected, the damage will be permanent and irreparable.
I'm currently supporting Mike Huckabee in the primaries, but will strongly consider Fred Thompson if he enters the race. They have the best chance of stopping Hillary. After the convention, I will support the GOP nominee.
The FreeRepublic clearly identifies in its mission statement what the purpose of this website is.
You think that when others promote causes in direct opposition to that mission, or commit freepercide by launching personal attacks on others (including the host), it is "brownshirt behaviour" for them be unwelcome?
There is a graphic for that? :-)
Figures you would want to bring up one of the lowest points of the BugZapper thread still today. What a pathetic post.
The women I know and work with (many avid Dems) despise Hillary. I'm thrilled by their opinion of her.
And sad.
Remove trolls, but forget about the brownshirt behaviour.
Not quite sure what you are terming "brownshirt behaviour". Most "zots" I've seen ARE the banning of a troll, followed by a well deserved mocking the said troll's posted idiocy.
"Brownshirt" implies vindictive persecution based on bigotry, not earned ridicule.
Thank you!
WOW! That fifteen minutes of fame just whizzed on by :)
Not at all.
Take out the trolls.
As for the purge, I don't object to it...
What I did not particularly like was the gang behavour where people where trying to rat out people. And celebrating while the "victim" was beaten up, then dancing on their toombstone...
Some people were banned and chucked out for saying what Fred
(My man) said this week. That Reagan's amnesty was perhaps not the greatest idea...
Most of you (and even some Euro's like me) are fighting for the same cause. Even if some disagree about a candidate we can still stay somewhat civil?
That said I am all for taking the battle to the enemy, foreign and domestic, bt we should take care not to become what we hate.
If so, I'm in big trouble here.
See my post 171.
I hope you have a good weekend,
Yes. Freepercide. Seriously. Some went on for hundreds of posts, lie after lie, warning after warning.
There is no other good name for it.
What specifically do you think was "brownshirt behaviour?"
I think that comment was waaaaay over the top!
I remember, I saw the whole thing in realtime-- I don't happen to think that a lynchmob mentality is the best way for FR to thrive in its mission. Some people like you just enjoy dancing on cyber-graves.
You nailed it!
When some of them actually dared JR to ban them, or demanded to be banned, that seems an appropriate description. When others persisted in behaviors which had caused others to be banned on the same thread, I don't know if FReepercide or "Hold muh beer while I pee on the transformer" is more descriptive.
It might...
I just read a book about about the fall of Berlin, talked to my old man about the occupation of Norway, AND watched the Untergang.
hehe. So I might be a bit too hung up on the brownshirts.
All I can say, and the last I will say on this topic is that although I do not object to the purge I did not like the way it happenend.
Cheers and a good weekend to you.
Do you know btw: We are celebrating Pinse: The day the apostles got the holy spirit.
May we all get a little bit of that holy wisdom,
That is a complete lie. Nobody was zotted for talking about Reagan's amnesty. They were zotted for comparing Reagan's MORALS to Giuliani's. Comparing Reagan's divorce (No adulter, he was against it) to Giuliani's constant adultery and disgusting personal life is just vile.

March 2007
A new $200 million skyscraper being built on Sheikh Zayed Road is rising at the rate of one floor every five days with the help of formwork from Meva Schalungs-Systeme of Germany, which is being used non-stop on the project.
Rising to a height of 301 m, the Ahmed Abdul Rahim Al Attar Tower will house an office and a hotel, when complete in May 2008.
"The contractor is picking up the pace to fulfil the completion date by relying on MevaDec, a simple yet flexible system which is known to guarantee a speedy construction progress after only a short training of the jobsite personnel," says Meva spokesman Jens Lützow-Rodenwoldt. "Only MevaDec allows building one floor after the other in four-day-intervals."
He continues: "The formwork is being used in the construction of the world's highest building, the Burj Dubai, and this is why contractor Al Fara'a Construction Group decided that it was the right choice, and purchased 1,500 cu m of MevaDec. Apart from easy handling, MevaDec's low weight – the 160/80 panel only weighs 22.8 kg – plays a significant role in high-rise construction as the panels, beams and props can be moved to the next floor level without a crane."
On a footprint of 30 by 30 m the building is rising in a weekly cycle. Two basements and the ground floor form the base for the 301-m-high tower, followed by 74 storeys with a floor height of 3.37 m. Only the ground floor and the floors 11, 42 and 73 are the exception, because these are 5 m high. A swimming pool on the 74th floor and a pyramidal spire form the very top of the building.
The staircase and lift shafts are constructed first, followed by the outer walls with integrated concrete beams all around. Only afterwards are the slabs built into the interspaces. All in all, a total of 50,000 cu m of slabs are poured with site-mixed concrete.
"MevaDec panels are equipped as standard with alkus plastic composite sheets to deliver a high-quality concrete finish," he says. "Another positive property of the alkus-facing is the low concrete adhesion, which results in less cleaning effort – a significant advantage for tight construction schedules."
"The contractor is convinced that it has purchased the right system, and that it will be the choice for future projects also," Lützow-Rodenwoldt adds.

Lisa graduated from Colorado Mesa University (aka Mesa State College), with a Bachelor of Science in Public Accounting, working in the private sector as a small business consultant for 15 years. Nobody opens a small business because they want to do accounting, so she understands that although the recordkeeping is necessary, it is incredibly important to communicate the underlying reasons for why we need to do things, and to listen to the intent of an initiative to find a way to facilitate it.
Lisa joined the Community College system in 2007, at Colorado Northwestern Community College (CNCC). Starting out in Student Services, she was the first person students met and was dedicated to ensuring that students had the resources they needed to get started. In 2010, she had the opportunity to become the Institutional Research Director for both CNCC and Lamar Community College. This provided the chance to compare and contrast the role data uses in various situations and gain an in-depth understanding of the metrics available to us.
In 2012, she accepted the position of Controller at CNCC, where she instituted the controls and guidelines and procedures to ensure compliance with fiscal rules and sound business practices. She moved to Community College of Aurora in December 2014 to fill a vacancy in their Controller position. Lisa is dedicated to ensuring a positive culture in the departments she leads and instituting common sense solutions to opportunities for improvements.
Lisa and her husband Doug have six children ranging from 14 to 30 and 9 grandchildren. They are excited about returning to a small community and will be restoring one of the oldest homes in Sterling.

The Context of White Supremacy continues to grieve and pay respect to third generation physician, general and child psychologist and attempted counter-racist scientist Dr. Frances Cress Welsing. As Dr. Welsing regularly emphasized the significance of ball games within the context of Supremacy, we'll revisit her 2010 visit to The C.O.W.S. which coincided with the 2010 Super Bowl. As it happens, Peyton Manning was a combatant in that contest as well. She took time to address Timothy Wise's criticism of her work and expounded on why these sporting activities demand so much time and energy. Even though six years has elapsed, this broadcast continues to offer a wealth of quality information. We'll also make time for commentary on the present battle between Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers and Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.

Delancey Street in New York conjures up an entire world of Yiddishkeit, "The quality of being Jewish; the Jewish way of life or its customs and practices." Delancey, and the streets that cross it in the Lower East Side-Ludlow, Essex, Orchard, Rivington, and its "sister" street to the north, Houston Street-are the historical home of Jewish immigrants and thus a cradle of that unique Jewish experience.All the foods that were brought to America in the early 20th century by Jews during the great emigration from Europe came to the Lower East Side: knishes, bagels, lox, pastrami, whitefish, dill pickles, kasha, herring (in multiple variations), egg creams, and much more. It is an area that continues to undergo rapid change but Eating Delancey hopes to capture forever the Jewish cuisine of the Lower East Side.Eating Delancey is a compilation of gorgeous photographs of classic Jewish food, with profiles and receipes from classic LES Jewish eateries such as Sammy's Roumanian Steakhouse, Russ & Daughters Appetizers, Katz's Delicatessen, Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery, and Ratner's. These are complimented by celebrity reminiscences from Bette Midler, Jackie Mason, Itzhak Perlman, Joshua Bell, Don Rickles, Fyvush Finkel, Isaac Mizrahi, Lou Reed, Arthur Schwartz and Milton Glaser.

Stephen Dorff's turn as dangerously ambitious vampire Deacon Frost in the first Blade film was certainly a highlight of the Wesley Snipes-starring comic book adaptation, but has it ever dawned on anyone that an entire movie based on Deacon Frost might be a good idea?
It has for Dorff, as the actor spoke with Dark Lord Bunnykins (yes, really) and gave some details about a Blade spinoff that would have focused entirely on his vampire villain, who died at the end of the 1998 movie.
"Me and [director] Steve Norrington had a cool treatment for that, and when vampires got all this trending again, we thought we should do the adult version, more of like a Scarface Deacon Frost movie. And it sounded cool, this treatment, but then there was so many legal things. Like New Line owned Blade and Marvel's got...all this hype into 'The Avengers' and this group movie which sounds like such a mistake. And Blade was such a '90s thing. I didn't want to do a Blade movie, I just really wanted to take Deacon and do then do a whole other thing which was much more today. So the idea me and Steve had, we might just end up fictionalizing it and just making a new character which might even be better for us. And he's someone I really like and would love to work with again. So hopefully whenever we get a chance we'll get into that."
With Norrington no longer directing The Crow, and Dorff doing who knows what these days, perhaps now's the right time for them to kick this idea back into gear. But the idea of watching an entire movie based on Deacon Frost, especially knowing about his hilariously awful death ahead of time, doesn't exactly sound all that appealing to me. Maybe retooling the story to create an original new property, as Dorff himself suggests, is the way to go.

Highway Schemes List (Show/Hide)
Abbotsford Bridge is located to the south east of Elsenham and north of Stansted Airport. It carries Hall Road, an unclassified road, over Stansted Brook.
The bridge, which consists of a culvert that runs under the road, was originally constructed in two different stages. The original structure is a cast iron deck supported on cast iron girders constructed in 1880. This was extended at a later stage on the east side.
Inspections have identified that the structure requires dismantling and replacing as it is now found to be in a weak and deteriorating condition.
Advance vegetation clearance works were carried out in March 2019 in preparation for construction to begin in spring 2019.
Preparations have been made to commence main construction from 13 May 2019, these works are expected to take approximately six months to complete.
This will involve the installation of a temporary footway prior to the removal of the existing bridge to ensure pedestrian access is maintained. The waterway will be diverted for the works and utility supplies relocated to enable the existing structure to be removed and bridge reconstructed.
During this time a full closure of the road will be necessary, 24 hours a day until the works are complete.
Advance signage will be on site and following diversion will be in place during the road closure: Hall Road, B1051 (Henham Road, Mill Road, Thaxted Road), Church End, Brick End, Woodgates End, Chapel End, Molehill Green, Waltham Hall Road, Elsenham Road and vice versa. Care has been taken to choose an appropriate diversion route suited to all vehicles which avoids narrow lanes at Pledgdon Green, i.e. Brick End Road, Henham and Church End Lane.
Following a request from Elsenham Parish Council, a temporary Clearway/No parking restriction will be introduced on the B1051 High Street/Henham Road at the junction of Hall Road during the closure of Abbotsford Bridge. This restriction is designed to support traffic flow in the area, providing sufficient space for vehicles who attempt to turn around at the junction of Hall Road.The temporary Clearway/No Parking restriction will be effective 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the duration of the bridge closure which commences Monday 13 May 2019. Warning notices will clearly identify the sections of road and periods when parking enforcement is effective. No parking cones and signage will be in place so please refrain from parking vehicles in these areas when the Clearway/No Parking is in operation.The Clearway/No Parking areas are enforceable by issuing a Penalty Charge Notice or parking tickets. In addition, if a vehicle is causing an obstruction and the owner cannot be easily identified then the owner is at risk of the vehicle being moved, by one of our specialised contractors, to a nearby safe parking place. If this were to happen the owner would be required to contact the Essex County Council contact centre on 0345 603 7631 or Essex Police on 101 who will have details about the whereabouts of the vehicle.We regret any inconvenience caused however it is essential we enforce a Clearway to ensure the road remains clear without obstructions. A plan is included below of the approximate location of the proposed Clearway/No parking restriction for illustration purposes only and can also be referred to on One.Network. Areas affected will be clearly identified on site.
To view details regarding enforcement of the restriction, please also refer to information poster in the Document section below.
As a result of the bridge closure, TrustyBus route 7/7A which runs between Bishops Stortford and Stansted Airport via Elsenham will be operating a diversion under a revised timetable. A section of route 7A, covering housing areas on the north side of Stansted Mountfitchet will not be served by the regular bus service. An alternative temporary service will be in place as outlined below:
Changes to shuttle bus service to 'dial-a-ride' service effective Monday 30 September 2019:
A dial-a-ride only service will be available to passengers. This service will be operated by 24x7 Ltd and will require passengers to pre-book two hours before travel by calling: 07534 586785. The number will be manned daily from 6am.
As it is a dial-a-ride service only all journeys outbound and inbound will require booking in advance. The service will not run to collect passengers unless a booking is made. The service will connect passengers up with the 7 bus route and will not take passengers to their final destination.
If you have any queries regarding the passenger transport arrangements please either contact the operator directly, or the Essex Passenger Transport Team on 0345 603 2200. You can also follow the passenger transport twitter account: @Essex_pt
The work programme may be subject to change if works are affected by poor weather or if unexpected issues arise.
We will share the latest information about the works and progress updates on this webpage as information as the scheme progresses.
Thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation while we undertake these necessary works.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for International Planned Parenthood Federation/Western Hemisphere Region, New York, NY, USA
When I was invited to join the Board I was happy to do it because I thought that IPPF reached out far and deep and I saw the opportunity to help women in a region that matters to me and to contribute to improve their living conditions and those of their families.
Since joining the Board, I have learned that what I thought about IPPF was real and I have seen it adopt new policies that would improve its performance and enhance the ability of its member organizations to provide services in their countries. It has an extraordinary leadership and its staff is excellent. In the hard economic times in which we live, it has streamlined its resources abut it continues to redouble its efforts to help communities like Haiti when necessary and to respond to the needs of its members. I am very proud and honored to be on the Board.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have not made use of the services provided by this organization. I feel lucky to be able to work so that they are available for those who do need them.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I am an academic and an activist. I do what I can to help IPPF because I believe in its mission. II respect its democratic and bureaucratic structure but I cannot offer ideas to alter how it operations. Its seems to work rather nicely.

Alison Geddis
Alison Geddis is the second female president in the history of the IBMS, and the first from Northern Ireland. She is also the Laboratory and Donor Services Manager at the Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service in Belfast.
Who or what inspired you to pursue a career in biomedical science?
When I first started work I was trained and educated by a number of very professional biomedical scientists. It was their professionalism and enthusiasm that made me want to be like them and pursue a career in biomedical science.
What was your route into the profession?
I started my career straight from school. I trained while I was working full time, spending time at college and then university in six week blocks at a time.
What challenges have you faced in your career to date?
I have faced many challenges over my career to date, the main challenges have been around juggling studying with full time work, participating in on-call service provision, being involved with the IBMS at both a local and national level whilst having a husband and two daughters to look after and support. More recently my challenges have been about maintaining an adequate blood supply for Northern Ireland during staff shortages and poor weather problems.
What has been your greatest professional achievement so far?
My greatest professional achievement so far has been being elected by my fellow IBMS Council members to become the current President of the IBMS.
What advice would you give to aspiring female leaders in biomedical science?
I would advise them to be themselves, and to be proud to be a biomedical scientist. Listen to advice and guidance from colleagues, and always do the right thing even when it means taking the more difficult pathway.

Listening now…
Hey everyone! Are there any blog readers still out there? ….Hello?
This was a very unintentional and way too long blog break but I'm happy to be back! Life lately has pretty much hit me and made me as surprised as Molly is in this picture.
It's been a busy summer with fun adventures involved. Here's just some photos of a few things we have been doing.
The summer has been awesome & I hope you all are having a great one, too! We know it flies by and by the time we know it, it's time for Halloween decorations and fall movies… which I am already excited for!!!
But the real reason I have been insanely busy is because I landed a new job!
I now work for Found My Animal
Our Mission
" Found My Animal promotes animal adoption in a very direct way: let your pet wear your values. By encouraging rescue over purchase, we support animal welfare by asking pets and their owners to help deliver our simple, important message. "
If you have been reading for awhile, you may know that this is something I have wanted to do for a long time. Wanting to work for an animal rescue organization or company is a very specific goal and when I had actually started to think it was not going to happen for me, I saw this job and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did.
To work for a company like this is a dream! Part of my job is also community outreach- which will involve spreading the word about our company and even holding adoption events with dogs!
In addition to that, if you are interested in learning more about Found My Animal or even carrying us in your store, contact me! We love collaborating with new businesses and like-minded individuals supporting our mission.
The girls are definitely enjoying their Prismatic Ombre Adjustable leash…
And they love being able to walk side by side!It has really helped Molly's anxiety to go new places with Daisy walking on the leash next to her.
#Walkshandsfree #Walk2dogsatonce #Rainbowrope #Rainbowleash
And Molly feels amazing supporting a leash that supports rescuing animals, just like she was rescued almost a year ago by us. ❤
An excerpt from my blog post about Molly's #foundmyanimal story…
We know she was left outside all day in the hot Tennessee weather.
We know that a woman had her and gave her up because she did not have patience with housebreaking her. Because you know, dogs take work and patience. But the love they give you back is ten fold and oh so worth it…
We know she is afraid of crates and wary of men coming near her but don't know why.
We know she was afraid of water beating down of her because we (and her foster mom) suspect she may have been from a puppy mill.
We know that she is home now and we will never make her feel that way again.
By the way, if you can help in any way with our Rescue Road Trip Go Fund Me –
It would be so appreciated! We are trying to raise funds to organize a road trip down to Miami to transport dogs from high kill shelters up to shelters in the Hudson Valley in NY.
All funds donated will go directly to the following costs:
1. Adoption Fees to Miami Dade Animal Services
2. Van Costs, Insurance
3. Gas + Tolls
4. Vetting
5. Transport Driver

Captain Lord Henry Challoner is a young viscount who's left his ambition on the plains of South Africa. Wounded in the First Boer War, he's come home and wishes he were anywhere else, until his desperate father sends him to Puddling-on-the-Wold to rusticate and recalibrate. How can Henry have any fun without any alcohol, or worse yet, any women? Kept under house arrest under the watchful eye of his draconian housekeeper and earnest local vicar, he's bored enough to begin speaking to sheep until he literally stumbles across schoolteacher Rachel Everett.
Rachel knows she's not on Henry's improvement plan, but can't seem to avoid or repel him no matter what she does to keep him at arm's length. Could it be that she quite enjoys being in his arms, even if it's against all the Puddling Rehabilitation Rules? Can Rachel circumvent the town fathers and Henry escape his personal jailors and demons?
Author Visit
I'm so excited about my new series, the Cotswold Confidential books. Well, I have to say that, don't I? But my feelings are shared by the exalted Amazon Editors, who picked Schooling the Viscount as one of the best books of the month in romance! It's also a staff pick from my publisher Kensington Lyrical, so we're off to a great start.
Schooling the Viscount tells the tale of Captain Lord Henry Challoner, a war veteran who's wounded both in body and spirit. He's sent away to a super-secret strict spa in the Gloucestershire countryside, Puddling-on-the-Wold, for a little rest and rehab. As he's chafing at his restrictions, restraints and rules, he accidentally meets the village schoolteacher Rachel Everett, who is not meant to consort with the village's paying guests. Henry has other ideas. Here's an exclusive excerpt:
"Allow me to introduce myself," he began.
"I know who you are," Rachel said, making him sound like Dr. William Palmer, the Prince of Poisoners. It was imperative that she freeze him out and send him back where he came from. In another week she might nod coldly if she encountered him, but not yet.
"Then you have an advantage. Everyone's in on this caper, yes?"
Rachel tried to make her eyebrows ripple into one dark caterpillar. "I don't understand what you mean."
"All of you Puddling persons are in this together. It's like one charming, open-air jail, with each of you acting as coppers. I thought at first it was just the vicar chap and Mrs. Grace, but I'm beginning to see the error of my ways."
If only he were. But it was much too soon. Guests stayed a minimum of twenty-eight days, and some took much longer to take the Cure and perform their Service.
"I'm sorry, Lord Challoner, but I must get back to grading papers. Good day." Rachel turned to go, but as she did, Lord Challoner, using his stick for leverage, leaped over the low stone wall. He stumbled upon landing and fell in a well-tailored heap at her feet.
"Damn," he muttered, spitting out a blade of grass, "I should have used the gate."
"You should have gone home!" Rachel said with asperity. She reached a hand down to help him up.
And promptly found herself pulled down into his lap.
"If anyone sees us—" she hissed, punching his shoulder. Her blows were ineffective. He seemed to be made of marble and just grinned at her like one of her naughtier students. Only they would never dream of cuddling her in such a shocking way!
"No chance of that, unless there are Puddling pigeons flying over us, and the sheep over there don't care, I'm sure. You are lovely when you are angry. Forgive me, I just couldn't help myself. There you were, above me like a solemn angel, offering succor. What could I do but reach for perfection? I simply forgot myself."
He took a great gulp of air. "By Jove, you smell like an angel too. Wisteria. Cloves. Pencil shavings. Ah, ambrosia."
The man was ridiculous.
"When was the last time you encountered an angel, Lord Challoner? In some music hall? I am not that sort of woman."
"No, more's the pity. I suppose you want to get up." He sighed, the breath tickling her ear in the oddest way. "I've never held a woman against her will before."
Rachel could see why not—he was too handsome for his own good, not that she was moved in the least. Women of weaker virtue were bound to be quivering masses of feminine jelly after one smile. "Well, you're doing so now. Unhand me."
"But of course. You didn't get hurt when you fell, did you? Perhaps I should examine you for broken bones." One fingertip touched her cheek.
"I'm not the one who fell, you—you—"
"Rascal?" he asked hopefully. "I have been called worse."
Rachel never cursed, but she was very close to that now. And the more she struggled to regain her footing, the odder Lord Challoner's expression became.
"I'm so sorry," he said. Then he kissed her.
It is, of course, the first kiss of many. Never let it be said that Henry ever rested on his laurels!
I'm giving away any paperback book or download on my backlist and a Schooling the Viscount promo pack to one commenter.
If you could go to any spa in the world to run away from home, where would you go?
~~Reviewed by AnnMarie~~
Schooling the Viscount is the first book in the Cotswold Confidential series by Maggie Robinson. It is also the first book that I have read by this author, the first, but definitely not the last. I especially look forward to reading more in this particular series.
This is the story of Captain Lord Henry Agamemnon Challoner. He has come back from fighting in the first Boer war, injured physically, but also scarred mentally. He suffers terrible nightmares, and constantly thinks of the war. In an attempt to block those memories, and stop the nightmares he takes up heavy drinking, and womanising. His father doesn't understand what he is going through, and as his heir he isn't pleased at all about the changes in his son. He wants him to marry and settle down, but if he carries on the way he is, no proper woman will want him. When he finds Henry in bed, drunk, and with two women, it's the final straw. He immediately drags his son away to the Cotswolds, to a place called Puddling-on-the-Wold.
It's a very small village unlike any other. The whole place is dedicated to helping people 'clean up their act', to rehabilitate them. Every person in the village caters to the 'guest's' needs. In Henry's case all young marriageable women are kept hidden, the pub will only serve soft drinks, and Henry must walk daily, have counselling from the vicar, and not be allowed any treats such as biscuits, cakes etc.
Henry is horrified to find himself there, and to know that he has to stay for a whole month. Maybe longer if the vicar doesn't think he has overcome his wicked ways. His horror diminishes somewhat when he goes off the track that he is told he has to walk daily and ends up at the local school. It's school teacher is a beautiful, curvaceous woman who Henry instantly feels an attraction to.
Rachel Everett is that school teacher, she is one of the woman that Henry is not allowed to come into contact with. She finds herself attracted to Henry, but puts it down to the fact that he is very handsome, and she also finds out that he is a real charmer too. But she knows he is not allowed to see her, and that any dealings with him would scupper his recovery and also get her into trouble. She might even lose her teaching job. Despite knowing that, when during their first meeting she ends up in his lap and being kissed passionately, she is instantly in awe. It still doesn't change the facts though, that she isn't allowed to be around him, and besides, he's only messing with her because he is a womaniser and she's the only young woman around. Right? Rachel considers herself too plain, too plump, and has been happy living with her father looking after him, and teaching at the school. She's resigned to her life.
The story goes on to tell how despite Rachel telling Henry he must leave her alone, he tries his best to keep seeing her. He wants more kisses, he wants her! He doesn't believe in love, but he knows he very much likes Rachel and wants her to marry him. She tells him he's mad, she's not good enough for him, especially as he is a Lord and she is a nobody. Also any relationship between them couldn't work because it will prove that Puddling-on-the-Wold has failed at it's rehabilitation of a guest, and when word gets out, the county would lose all future guests and the money they make from them.
Will Rachel give in to at least a clandestine dalliance, what will the consequences be if she gives in? Is it worth it, or is there too much to lose?
I really enjoyed this story, the idea of a whole village being involved in rehabilitating 'guests', catering entirely to their individual needs is just wonderful. Most of the villagers are down to Earth and caring. I especially loved Rachel's dad. He might come across as a grump, but he's a darling, and I loved the scenes that he was in.
There was much to make me laugh in this story, as well as an emotional scene or two that brought a lump to my throat. There was the passion between our main couple, which was both gentle at times, but steamy at others. A definite will they won't they, can they can't they story that kept me wondering until the very end how it could all work out. I really look forward to being introduced to more of the villagers in future books in this series because I am sure they all have a fabulous story to tell.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader's Copy of this book.

Funeral services with military honors for Mary L. Hunter of Ardmore, South Dakota will be held on Saturday, December 14, 2013 at 1:00 PM at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Chadron with Rev. Peter Bertram officiating. Burial will be at Duck Creek Cemetery, Ardmore, SD.
Mary L. Hunter, 94 of Chadron, NE died Wednesday, December 4 at Regional West Hospital, Scottsbluff, NE.
She was born October 19, 1919 to Carl Edward Bergquist and Ana Wilson Martinez Bergquist in Manila, Philippine Islands. As a young girl she lived in Guam; Shanghai, China and Hankow, China attending British or Parochial boarding schools.
In 1934, she and her family moved to Santa Rosa, CA. In 1936, she graduated from Santa Rosa High School as valedictorian of her class. She then attended the University of CA- Berkeley, graduating in 1940 with a math and history degree, and then in 1941 she received a teaching degree. She taught at Dos Palos, CA and Daly City, CA until joining the U.S. Navy Waves on July 19, 1944. She achieved the rank of Ensign and was honorably discharged on June 18, 1946.
On May 17, 1947 she married John W. (Jack) Hunter Jr. in Santa Rosa CA. The couple moved near Ardmore, SD where they ranched for over 50 years.
In 1956, Mary went back to her love of teaching and taught at Oelrichs, SD, Provo High School at Igloo SD and Edgemont SD High School, before retiring in 1974. Many of her past students attribute their success in life to Mary's teaching abilities.
After Mary retired from teaching she and her husband, Jack, operated Jack Hunter Sound, an outdoor sound company, traveling to hundreds of fairs and rodeos, where Mary was always known for her hospitality, taking pleasure cooking or caring for all who passed by their traveling home. Mary and Jack were selected as Pioneer Couple of the Year in 1999 for their dedicated services to High School Rodeo.
Mary was a member of Our Saviors Lutheran Church, P.E.O., American Legion and Waves National WIMSA.
She is survived by her son, John C. (Jack) Hunter (Laurel) Crawford, NE; Grandchildren Kristen (Robert) Ferguson, Gordon, NE; Ross (Trisha) Hunter Ardmore, SD; Alicia (Rich Robertson) Hunter, Crawford, NE; Great grandchildren Robin Ferguson, Reann Ferguson, Tristan Hunter, Ashley Hunter, Jack Hunter, Allison Owens and Hunter Owens.

Tell Them the Truth
In my personal opinion, you should tell them the truth. Explain to them exactly what is happening and answer any questions that they have. Honesty is the best policy in this situation. It is going to be a very difficult situation for them to deal with, but they should never be left in the dark about what is really going on. Hopefully they have good friends and family support and will be able to rely on each other to get through this ordeal. It is good that there are three of them, I think. I have three step-siblings whose father committed suicide when they were all very young and they are now very close to each other because of what they had to go through.

Tell Them the Truth
If I were u I would just tell the the truth. Its the only way to do things. It will be hard for them to except as its their mother. They will always miss her a great deal. Honesty is the best policy in this matter. Ill be glad to help you in anyway I can. I feel for the mother as it must be very hard on her knowing she will leave them. I love children and if u need help or someone to talk to u . I wish u all the best of everything and im truely sorry things have ended up this way. Death is unfair to all of us. Espically when u have to leave young children behind. Im sure sorry

1. The District needs to inspect participating properties to ensure the landscapes are not being converted back to lawns.2. Front lawns are less likely to be play areas for children and pets compared to backyards. Therefore, front yard conversions are less likely to convert back to lawns than backyard conversions.3. Front lawns can 'advertise' to neighbors to do the same, so they act as marketing for the program.

I have seen Hacking-The Art of Exploitation, by Jon Erickson, on bookstore shelves many times and have always wanted to pick up a copy, but for some reason I just never did. Until now. I have to admit right up front that I was a little intimated, starting with chapter two. A good portion of the book consists of examples written in the C programming language. It has been some time since I have programmed in C, so I had some difficulty following the included examples.
Chapter two starts out simply enough with basic programming techniques, but then it jumps heavily into analyzing compiled binaries, using a debugger for stepping through compiled code, and looking even at Assembly language. And as if that were not enough, you'll finish the chapter decomposing memory segments and the heap. And again, that's just chapter two.
In chapter three, the author starts discussing exploit techniques, again using examples written in C. Chapter four covers the OSI model and how packets travel up and down the OSI layers. Chapter five discusses the power of shell code, written in Assembly, of course. Chapter six does a great job discussing intrusion detection and using countermeasures to respond against an attacker. Finally, chapter seven covers cryptology. The author covers one-time pads, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, and man-in-the-middle attacks, all written in plain English.
If you are the geeky type of person that likes digging into the bits and bytes of how things work, this is the book for you.

Black Book
Holland 1944 - The final years of the Second World War find the beautiful singer Rachel Stein (Carice Van Houten) taking refuge with the Tsjempkema family in rural Holland. Once a popular and wealthy singer, Rachel has been waiting out the war like many Jews in Europe, separated from her family and a moment away from being caught by the Gestapo. Her temporary safe-house is destroyed by an Allied bomber under fire by a German fighter and Rachel is left in the arms of Rob (Michel Huisman), a sympathetic young boy, who promises to help her to safety. The next morning, Rob takes Rachel to her contact in town, who she hopes will help her find her family and escape across into liberated territory. They arrive at the home of Mr. Smaal (Dolf de Vries) and his wife (Diana Dobbleman), a compassionate lawyer who has worked secretly to help Jews escape from Holland. Reluctantly, Mr. Smaal arranges for Rachel to join her family and cross enemy lines into Allied territory, marking her name and rendez-vous point in a little black leather notebook. But during the dangerous crossing, the boat is ambushed by German troops. The Nazi's ruthlessly kill the boats' passengers and Rachel only narrowly escapes by jumping overboard into the river.
