Good Sunday morning.
🍔 Situational awareness: "A man accused of kicking a seagull that tried to eat his cheeseburger at a New Hampshire beach has been fined $124." (AP)
1 big thing: How "senior" is Anonymous?
The whodunit over the Trump administration's "anonymous" hinges on the word "senior."
- The New York Times describes its mysterious Op-Ed contributor as "a senior official in the Trump administration."
- But how senior is "senior"? Does the author meet what the "Morning Joe" hosts called the "household name" test? Or is this actually a swampier, murkier version of "senior"?
The guessing game raced across Washington and Wall Street:
- "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration" had been viewed more than 13 million times through Friday, and remained atop the paper's "Most Popular" list into this morning.
In playing the game myself, I may have been wrong about one of the most essential assumptions:
- I wrote in Axios AM, and speculated on the air, that based purely on what Times editors must have been thinking (or should have been thinking), the masked dissident probably is authentically "senior."
- My logic: The paper has to assume the writer will be unmasked. And if the official turned out to be relatively obscure, The Times would have credibility issues. And normal readers don't understand the wall between the paper's newsroom and opinion section.
But in the few clues the paper has given, there are real questions about whether the "household name" test will be met:
- Hmmm 1: Answering reader questions in a piece posted yesterday ("How the Anonymous Op-Ed Came to Be"), deputy editorial page editor (and Op-Ed Editor) Jim Dao said vetting included "direct communication with the author, some background checking and the testimony of [a] trusted intermediary." If the official were famous, how much testimony would you need?
- Hmmm 2, pointed out by Jonathan Swan: The Op-Ed author writes that "a top official" had "complained to me recently, exasperated by an Oval Office meeting at which the president flip-flopped on a major policy decision he'd made only a week earlier." Would an actual top official describe a peer as a "top official"?
- Hmmm 3, and this is the biggest one of all: Dao told Michael Barbaro on The Times' podcast, "The Daily" that on the "senior administration official" terminology, "All I can say is I feel that we followed a definition that has been used by our newsroom in the past." Whoa! A former (actual) senior administration official instantly phoned me to say what a red flag that is: Journalists are notoriously liberal in their definition of who constitutes a "senior administration official."
Have fun with your guessing. And please gamble responsibly.
2. Hong Kong passes NYC as hotspot for ultra-rich
Hong Kong is now the city with the highest number of residents with a net worth of $30 million or more, according to Wealth-X, a global intelligence service about ultra-high net worth individuals.
- Why it matters, per CNBC: "[G]lobal wealth-creation is quickly moving to Asia from the U.S., as economies in the region grow faster and wealth becomes more concentrated."
The big picture, from Axios' Stef Kight: 86% of the 30 fastest growing high-wealth cities were in China.
- But among countries, the U.S. remains firmly in first place as host to the most deca-millionaires and billionaires.
P.S. China is detaining Muslims in its most sweeping internment program since the Mao era, per the N.Y. Times' Chris Buckley:
- "Ethnic Uighurs in vast numbers have been sent to camps as part of a campaign to remove any devotion to Islam."
3. Russian trolls exploit NFL kneeling
"The same Kremlin-linked group that posed as Americans on social media during the 2016 ... election has repeatedly exploited the [NFL's national anthem] controversy, ... playing both sides in an effort to exacerbate divides in American society," CNN reports.
- "CNN worked with researchers at Clemson University that have archived millions of tweets sent by the Internet Research Agency, a Russian troll group that was indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller."
- The trolls repeatedly weighed "in on the [NFL] debate, using different accounts to take both sides. While they used some accounts to push petitions to fire the protesting players, they used others to hail them as heroes."
Be smart, from BBC: The goal of Russian state actors, bots and trolls "is no longer to deny or disprove an official version of events, it is to flood the zone with so many competing versions that nothing seems to make sense."
Bonus: Stat du jour
"During the first 18 months of the Trump administration, ... nearly 1,600 workers left the EPA, while fewer than 400 were hired," per the WashPost.
- "The exodus has shrunk the agency's workforce by 8 percent, to levels not seen since the Reagan administration."
4. Catholic faithful demand change
Countless Catholics in the U.S. "are raising their voices in prayer and protest to demand change amid new revelations of sex abuse by priests and allegations of widespread cover-ups," AP's Amy Forliti reports:
- Letter-writing campaigns, prayer vigils and listening sessions aim to bring about change from the pews.
- Why it matters: Participants realize "it's up to them to confront the problem and save the church they love after years of empty promises from leadership."
One campaign, learning from the "Time's Up" and #MeToo movements, organized events across the country this weekend under #CatholicToo.
- "Some of the efforts are calling for specific reforms, such as laity-led investigations and transparency."
- Some are withholding donations in protest.
5. Fall classic: Trump v. Obama
President Trump has a sudden competitor for airtime: CNN and MSNBC covered President Obama's first 2018 campaign rally yesterday as if he were in a general-election race with his successor.
- CNN ("ANY MOMENT") and MSNBC ("HAPPENING NOW") both went with empty-podium teases ahead of Obama's appearance in Anaheim, Calif.
- Then both used "BREAKING NEWS" tabs during his live remarks.
- Fox News was airing a taped show, but used soundbites later.
After calling out Trump and the Kochs in a speech the day before, Obama went with generic descriptions yesterday, but said:
- "[W]hen you look at the arc of American history, there's always been a push and pull ... between those who promote the politics of hope and those who exploit the politics of fear."
Be smart, from N.Y. Times' Adam Nagourney: "Obama's decision to enter the fray ... could very well, as some Democrats acknowledge, energize Republican ... voters. ... But he made clear his main goal [yesterday] was getting Democrats and independents, who are a big bloc of voters [in Orange County], to turn out."
6. 1 🎾 thing
In the middle of her U.S. Open final against Naomi Osaka at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York yesterday, "with a record-tying 24th Grand Slam singles title on the line, Serena Williams was standing on the court calling the chair umpire a thief," the N.Y. Times' Ben Rothenberg writes:
- "For you to attack my character is something that's wrong," Williams said during a changeover.
- "You're attacking my character. Yes, you are. You owe me an apology. You will never, ever, ever be on another court of mine as long as you live. You are the liar. ... You stole a point from me, you're a thief, too."
"[I]nstead of trading blazing ground strokes with Osaka, a 20-year-old born in Japan who grew up idolizing her, Williams [age 36] was having a heated conversation with the tournament referee."
- Williams: "There are men out here that do a lot worse ... but because I'm a woman, because I'm a woman, you're going to take this away from me? That is not right."
"Williams did not recover ... Osaka won, 6-2, 6-4."
- "But as the boos and whistles rained down on the court during the awards ceremony, Williams resumed her role as the sport's leader, urging the fans to appreciate the first Japanese player to win a Grand Slam singles title."

Way Huge Electronics Swollen Pickle MKII Super Jumbo Fuzz Pedal
Best Guitar Fuzz Pedal
Expert Review
The Way Huge Swollen Pickle guitar fuzz pedal boasts a big, smooth low end and dynamic range of fuzz tones that are capable of being produced. Way Huge had previously unveiled its brand of stomp boxes in the early 90s, but closed its doors in 1999; the company's partnership with Dunlop hasn't just brought their products back to the market, but with new features and at a more affordable price. Loudness, filter, sustain, scoop, and crunch controls give players a hands-on experience in determining just how loud and unruly or tight and controlled they want their tone to be. Inside the pedal, players can also make more slight adjustments to their sound via Voice and Clip controls. Whether you want your tone to be thick and contained or sizzlingly unruly, the Swollen Pickle is capable of getting you to where you want to be.

Hi friends, Our second wedding anniversary is one week away!
Last year, I counted down to our anniversary by recounting memories of our wedding. I enjoyed those posts because I got to take a break from pregnancy land and remember that I was still a newlywed. This year, I'd like to talk about what I appreciate about T. T doesn't know about this. Surprise, honey!
My goal is to honor T and to remind myself of all of the reasons I married him. I thank God for him daily, but it is a helpful exercise for me to write these things out. I hope you don't mind reading along.
Today, I am writing about T as an athlete.
As you may have noticed, T is in great shape physically. This is a picture from our family beach day this past weekend. He is an inspiration to me in the way he takes care of himself through his diet and also his commitment to being active.
T likes to watch sports, but mostly he loves to play sports. His favorites are
- Ultimate Frisbee
- Soccer
- Spikeball
- Volleyball
Growing up, T was on the swim team and played soccer, and in high school he also played tennis and ran cross country. He grew up on the water, and he enjoys all types of water sports (skiing, wakeboarding, extreme tubing) as well. His brother A and sister C were also soccer players, and C played college soccer. I admire the way his family prioritizes healthy living. (and am intimidated by it…but we're working through that…) In college, T played club water polo, club volleyball, and club ultimate frisbee. In grad school, he continued playing ultimate frisbee and played a lot of indoor and sand volleyball. He met many of his best friends in each of his phases of life through sports.
Sports continue to serve as a social outlet for T. On most Saturdays in Houston, T would organize a group to play ultimate or spikeball on Rice's campus. It was a great way to get to know people, and the email list got longer and longer by the week. He never knew who would show up. For his 30th birthday this spring, I organized a "Sports Extravaganza" in his honor at a Houston park. A group of our friends showed up to join him for all of his favorites: spikeball, ultimate and volleyball. Sports are T's favorite way to connect with people.
The ultimate testament to T's athleticism and enjoyment of all things sporting is where he spent his bachelor weekend over Labor Day 2011: at home in Hendersonville, TN. His parents live on the lake, and he could think of no better way to spend a weekend with his friends than going out on the boat, playing sports constantly, and eating a lot of good food. I can't find a picture from that weekend right now (maybe they were all destroyed??), but I'll post one of that great group of friends when I find it.
I am blessed to be married to such a healthy man!
P.S. For the sake of time, I included easy-to-find pictures in this post. T will probably be mad that I didn't include his BEST sports pictures of all time. He has so many! He loves sports pictures, especially of his friends. Perhaps more of his favs will show up in other posts this week.

Complete kit include barrel 25cal. ,breech weaver rail ,shroud ,magazine qty:1 and hardware
Shroud length = Barrel length + 3." (8 baffles)
Barrel length = Shroud length – 3." optimum barrel length
If you choose an 21 inch shroud, do you get an 18 inch barrel?
barrels are not included with the kits, they have to be ordered separately. when rodering a barrel for a 21″ shroud an 18″ barrel would be the correct length.

Outside of his work as a psychologist, Dr. Herbert (Herb) Tannenbaum is an avid sports fan. Dr. Herb Tannenbaum particularly supports New York teams, such as the Giants.
The New York Giants signed cornerback Leon Hall during the off-season. The franchise made the announcement public at the beginning of August 2016. The player agreed to a one-year contract that potentially pays up to $2 million. His addition to the team is part of the Giants' strategy to bring new talent to its defensive line, which is one of the team's weaker points.
Leon Hall will join Janoris Jenins and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. A backup to rookie Eli Apple and a slot specialist, he may have the opportunity to take over the starting position if the first-round pick is unable to fulfill his duties. The Giants will determine if the change in starting positions is necessary to give Apple more time to acclimate to professional sports. Hall, on the other hand, has played in the NFL for nine years. He concluded his last season with two interceptions and nine blocked passes.

EVERTON'S board were meeting this afternoon to make a critical decision on the future of the Kings Waterfront Arena project.
They are set to debate a proposal by millionaire director Paul Gregg to fund the club's #30m share of the #155m, 55,000 seat arena through a venture capital deal.
The major stumbling block is the fear that Everton would have to surrender its share in the ownership of the arena - buying its equity stake back from the backers' group over a number of years.
The six directors are understood to be divided on the issue, likely to be the subject of hot debate when they face the shareholders for the club's annual general meeting tonight.
* For a full report on tonight's meeting, see tomorrow's Liverpool Echo.

Factors To Consider When Choosing A Moving Company
A lot of people become stressed when they engage in the process of moving. That is because they already had an attachment with their former house and do not want to leave. With the current economy, moving can affect people because it is expensive and that is the other reason why it is never preferred.
The person moving has to adapt to the new environment like the neighbors and the change of route. The problem has been countered by investors setting up moving companies. The client is helped by the moving companies to shift with all their property while minimizing disturbances. The needed equipment to transport the items and the necessary manpower is what the company provides. The investors set up many of them because they consider them to be viable investments because of the demand, they have flooded the market and that has caused the client to have a hard time when making a choice. Decision making on the choice can be made easier for the client if they make the decision based on a number of factors.
The reputation of the company is the other factor to consider. Reputation can be defined as the markets say about its name. Moving companies are involved with even the intimate property of the client and they should be able to have a clean record that they do their work ethically for the client to trust them. The reputation can be defined by the referrals and the reviews and ratings. There is detail in the referrals explanation on what one should expect from the interaction with the moving company. How much a past client can recommend the services of a moving company can be told through the reviews and ratings. Customer satisfaction is one of the ways that the company should ensure they do so they can get a good word in the market.
Consideration should be placed on the charges. The charges are those costs that will be involved with the moving. The moving company charges some fee for the services and the client should ensure that they do not exceed the budget. Individuals find the budget common because at its formation, it is based on the resources available to the client.
The credentials are the other factor that should be considered. The moving company should be able to have achieved the standards that the government has placed for them before the client can contract it. That is through ensuring that they have licenses and proper paperwork like the insurance. The client is ready to choose a company once all of those factors are considered.
What You Should Know About Moving This Year

Research and Writing
While research and writing are skills conventionally mastered in the humanities at the undergraduate level, many students arrive in seminary after a long hiatus between their undergraduate work and their master's program. Other students will not have majored in the humanities and do not have the same skills as their peers. Even those who have an extensive humanities background can benefit from further work on their writing skills and from the chance to learn the particular bibliographical resources available for the academic study of theology. The course is designed to strengthen the student's abilities in academic research and writing in the theological disciplines. It complements the introduction to theological writing that takes place during orientation.
THBR 531 Bibliography, Research, and Writing (1)
This course will provide entering students with assistance for each writing assignment in courses being taken concurrently. (Accordingly, there are no written assignments for this course itself.) In addition, the course offers an extended introduction to using the library. Research methods will be treated as well. The course is graded on a pass-fail basis. Required for first year M.Div. and M.A. students; may be elected by others. The instructor may exempt well-prepared students from this course requirement on the basis of prior coursework or demonstrated ability.
THBR 533 Theological Research and Writing for ESL Students (3)
This course is designed to help international student writers succeed in writing, editing, and completing a large research project specific to their discipline. This could be a research paper, journal article, literature review, dissertation chapter, grant proposal, or other relevant document. The course provides intensive help with grammar, idiomatic phrasing, and overall clarity for writers whose native language is not English. The instructor will collaborate with the Language Center of the University for additional resources.

With 12%+ unemployment in Oregon, we have our fair share of the 50 million+ uninsured in our troop. For those that have insurance deductibles are often high enough that it basically feels like no insurance. An annual checkup is not cheap - I know it stings when it comes out of my pocket. The troop opportunity fund is already stretched by increased number of families who need help with summer camp fees. The new rules in effect at least double the cost of going to summer camp.
My question is what if anything are troops, districts or councils doing to help families handle the medical costs that are now required under the new rules?
Hmm, it must be nice to live in Canada, France, UK, Denmark, Japan or just about anywhere else outside the 3rd World and not have to ask such a ridiculous question.

Finally got in to the doc, who gave him two pain pills, told him to immobilize it and put it on ice, then moved on to the next patient. They rented a car and drove to Switzerland, where they were able to be seen by a doctor with incentive to treat.

A flight to Lake Kuril Sanctuary and a ride over the active volcanoes – Karymsky and Semyachik
1,5 hour' trekking excursion over protected area of Lake Kuril
An excursion to "barriers" where scientists keep records of fish number and observe bears.
Lunch in the canteen
A flight to Ksudach volcano and trekking excursion along the shore of the crater lake (15 minutes)
A flight to Khodutka volcano and soaking in hot spring
This helicopter excursion doesn't require any special physical skills and training. It's available for participants of any age.
We recommend you only to take comfortable hard solid shoes and warm cloths just in case.
South-Kamchatka Sanctuary prohibits to use UAV(drones) on its territory.
Checking all our tourists' review we have made a conclusion that almost nobody understands how to prepare for visiting such unpredictable region as Kamchatka, what equipment is necessary to bring with you, what gear our company provides.
In order to make your trip comfortable we created equipment guide for you.
In PDF file there are all the recommendations for the equipment you will need to have for our tours.
For adults: 42000 rubles per person.
For children under 12 y.o.: 32000 rubles per person.
For person with 1-2 category disabilities: 32 000 rubles per person.
Private excursion to Lake Kuril: total price for a group of 1-3 persons is 450 000 rubles. The route is "Lake Kuril – Khodutkinsky hot springs", a helicopter is MI-2.
If Kamchatka peninsula is a real bear`s paradise, then Lake Kuril is its capital. You meet bears there without any doubts. From July to September is a good time to watch bears and their feast. More than two hundred bears come to the area of Lake Kuril to have some salmons spawning from the Sea of Okhotsk.
Kuril Lake
After arrival at the helicopter pad the first part of the helicopter excursion program starts: a ride over a whole Kamchatka to the South – to the Ozerny cordon located at the shore of Lake Kuril. You spot all wonders of landscape: volcanoes, mountain ranges and plain cut by a lot of rivers.
Accompanied by the inspector and guide we go to the scientific station located at the mouth of the Ozerny river where fish migration is monitored. This place is the only way connecting the lake and the Pacific Ocean so fish must swim there anyway. Of course, bears also don't miss this place so they hold a real fishing contest there. We find a place at the observation desk located at the center of the blocking-bridge stretched from one bank to another one from where we may listen to guide's stories and watch wild animals which are just few meters from us.
The next step is a flight ride to the crater of Ksudach volcano. When flying we see that the crater is filled by two lakes: Shtubelya and Kluchevoe. The water is very hot! It is heated by the center of the Earth. After landing we go around the black sand beach of Kluchevoey lake. If you keen on photo shooting you need to bring wide-angle camera lens with you it will be very useful for you.
The final step of our program is soaking in thermal waters located at the foot of Khodutka volcano where we have another flight stop. These waters are heated to 40 degrees Celsius by volcanic activities of the Earth and enriched with different microelements washed from Earth interior. Don't forget to take swimsuits with you!
Thank you! We will contact you!

You might not realize the benefits of a large yoga mat until you use one. The truth is, they're pretty remarkable and can actually change the way you work out. They're perfect for stretching, yoga, and even more intense workouts. The best part? You'll never feel limited or restricted due to the size of the mat.
Why is the Gxmmat the perfect mat for your home yoga studio? For one, it's made of thick foam that provides a lot of support for whatever workout you're doing and can help you have a more comfortable yoga experience, which is something I'm always on the lookout for. Let's take a closer look.
Because this mat is made of thick, dense memory foam, it provides enough cushioning to protect your joints without losing any support or stability. It protects your wrists, knuckles, knees, and hips during your workout and enhanced shock absorption helps to prevent sore joints and impact injuries. It also has excellent rebound resilience and maintains the same level of support from the beginning to the end of your workout.
Another great thing about this mat is that, even though it's thick, it's still easy to roll up. It comes with a bag that has three Velcro straps to keep it safe and secure. Plus, it stays flat when you unroll it.
You don't have to worry about this mat going anywhere, even on hardwood floors. The bottom has a matrix-circle pattern that prevents it from moving around during even the most intense workouts. If you have trouble with your mat shifting as you get into your workout, you know how annoying this can be. With this mat, it's no longer a problem.
Not only is the bottom textured for superior grip, the surface is, too. The subtle raised textured prevents your hands and feet from slipping out of position so you can hold your poses longer. It also offers the stability you need to try things that are a little more intense, although this mat is not meant for cardio workouts.
The large size is great for yoga, stretching, or working out because you're not limited by the size of the mat. While this mat is not made for high-intensity cardio workouts, it does make a great play mat for children!
Gxmmat uses only 100% non-toxic material that is completely safe and eco-friendly. They're phthalate free, latex free, silicone free, and don't contain any toxins.
This mat is lightweight, doesn't tear, and stays flat when unrolled.
A carrying bag with three secure Velcro straps and a pair of gym gloves are included with purchase.
It includes a lifetime guarantee. If you're not satisfied, just send it back to Gxmmat for a full refund.
The Gxmmat Large Yoga Mat is a great mat for your home. The large size allows more freedom when working out because you don't have to worry about moving off the mat. It's great for yoga, pilates, and meditation and can even be used as a child's playmat!
Although this product only has 4 reviews on Amazon at the time of this writing, I still feel that this is a good mat to recommend. It currently has a 4.3 out of 5 star rating.
One customer ended up with a torn mat which led them to give it a lower rating. That said, even though the customer was disappointed, they still said, "Love the mat and works great for what I bought it for..."
Other customers raved about this product. One customer said, "I can stretch my full length in any direction. I have used this mat for strength training, yoga, pilates, the mat has firmly stayed in place (no shifting during workouts) and shows no wear after heavy use. So happy with my purchase." Another one simply stated, "Couldn't be happier with it."
Although there aren't a lot of reviews to go from, I feel comfortable recommending this product. Even the customer who had an issue still said they loved the mat which demonstrates that it's a great choice for a home yoga studio.
In summary, the Gxmmat Large Yoga Mat is a great mat for doing yoga, pilates, or other light workouts in your home. The large size gives you a lot of space to stretch and branch out. It's thick and cushiony enough to provide excellent support for your joints while still providing the support and stability you need or a safe workout. Most buyers were pleased with its performance and the one customer who had reason to complain still commented that they loved the product.

WASHINGTON--The Justice Department accused six Chinese citizens, including three professors, of conspiring to steal sensitive wireless technology from U.S. companies.
The six individuals allegedly worked together to bring trade secrets relating to thin-film bulk acoustic resonator technology from U.S. companies Avago Technologies AVGO, -3.78% and Skyworks Solutions Inc. SWKS, +0.33% back to China's Tianjin University, according to an indictment unsealed late Monday. They then set up a joint venture with the university to produce and sell equipment using the technology, according to the indictment, and won contracts to sell it to both businesses and the military.
"Sensitive technology developed by U.S. companies in Silicon Valley and throughout California continues to be vulnerable to coordinated and complex efforts sponsored by foreign governments to steal that technology," San Francisco U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag, whose office is prosecuting the case, said in a news release Tuesday.

In the first test facing his overhauled national security team, President Donald Trump deferred to Defense Secretary James Mattis' caution against a more forceful attack on Syria in response to its alleged deadly gas attacks on civilians.
Following days of meetings at the White House, Trump and his advisers agreed on one of the most restrained of several military-strike options proposed by the Pentagon, although Trump had indicated that he preferred a more intense attack. The group selected a powerful missile attack aimed at three targets intended to cripple the Syrian regime's ability to use chemical weapons and deter President Bashar al-Assad from another similar attack.
The selection of the tempered strategy was indicative the sizable influence Mattis still exerts on the reorganized national security team. According to The Wall Street Journal, Mattis presented the White House with three military options for the strike on Syria.
The least aggressive option would have hit a narrow set of targets related to Syria's chemical weapons capabilities. In the second option, a broader set of Syrian regime assets were targeted, including suspected chemical weapons research facilities and military command centers.
The third and most ambitious proposal, which might have included strikes on Russian air defenses in Syria, was designed to deliver maximum damage to the regime's military capabilities.
The third proposal was three times the size of the one ultimately carried out by U.S., British and French forces.
Deferring to the advice of Mattis, Trump approved a hybrid plan that included the firing of more than 100 advanced missiles at the three Syrian targets early Saturday. The action was a combination of the first two options offered by Mattis, and included modest missile strikes that the Trump administration said delivered decisive damage to Assad's chemical weapons capabilities.

This evening we spent time with my four-year-old niece, who is staying with my parents for the weekend. We had dinner al fresco in the back yard, and then Fiona and I decided to sit on the dock and watch the river. Water bugs skittered across the surface, and Fiona was excited to see a couple of small fish slip past us underwater. As my husband got his fly rod ready to do a little casting before sunset, we all noticed the loon family in the middle of the river: two adults with one fuzzy brown chick between them. They seemed to be teaching it how to fish. Fiona looked through binoculars at them, but I'm not sure she knows how to use them well enough to see the birds. My mother tried to explain to her how loon calls are different depending on where they are, that the place, not the bird, determines what they sound like. I think that too was beyond Fiona's interest and comprehension at this point, but we'll make a birder out of her yet!
Fish began jumping as sunset burnished the clouds. Fiona was impressed with Uncle Paul's dragonfly fly. She'd probably have been even more impressed if he'd caught something with it. Four ducks that I think were wood ducks flew past. A beaver slowly made its way upriver, as it does every evening, a silver vee trailing behind it. And the loons drifted upriver too, still fishing. My dad built a small fire in the fire pit, and we all stayed outside in the growing dark, past Fiona's bedtime.
Loon chick with parents--
family night on the river.
I watch with my niece.

I went out on Lake George. It was breezy and cool so I only stayed out an hour…but what an hour. I spotted a weasel-like creature in the water that wasn't afraid of me even though I got close. I'm sorry to say that I am not sure what it was other than long, lean, brown and weasel-like.
I also saw a Great Blue Heron, a flock of common Mergansers, some coltsfoot growing near a shoreline and when I carried the boat up to where I was parked, I found a half dozen leeches attached to the bottom. EEEWWW. I checked myself and didn't pick up any but it made me feel itchy all the way home.

UV - Unmanned Vehicles
EW Europe: New counter-UAS tech emerges
ESG Elektroniksystem und Logistik, Diehl Defence and Rohde & Schwarz have signed a cooperative agreement in the area of counter-UAS capabilities.
As rogue UAS continue to pose a security risk at public events and to high-risk infrastructures and facilities such as airports, industrial test sites, military sites and correctional facilities, the companies will coordinate efforts to counter this threat.
The team will provide tailored, bundled solutions based on radar, radiomonitoring, electromagnetic countermeasures, command and control information systems and position mapping technologies to detect and defend against threats posed by the unauthorized use of UAS.
The modular solution is known as the Guardion UAS defense system, comprising the HPEMcounterUAS effectors from Diehl Defence, R&S Ardonis from Rohde & Schwarz and the Taranis command and control and position mapping system developed by ESG.
Christoph Weber, head of defence and public security at ESG, on behalf of the cooperation partners, said: 'Such deployment scenarios as well as experience gained elsewhere have confirmed our opinion that multiple intermeshed measures must be employed to ensure reliable protection against drones. The best way to meet this challenge is to integrate different, modular and scalable, cutting-edge technologies from various leading companies into a total solution.'

At first glance, tying together a hike around the world to climb 52 mountains and a book club might not seem like an obvious pairing. Yet when you think about it, both a mountain and a book are a journey. A hike of a thousand miles begins with a single step and a book of a thousand pages begins with a first word. Each have a main character, typically a hero, who transforms during the travel from beginning to end. For many people, a hike and a book are started for specific purposes – a hike for fitness and a book for learning. For many lucky people, as the hike or book unfolds, that purpose transforms into a meaning and who that person was at the beginning of the journey is transformed into someone with a higher purpose when the journey is complete.
By adding a book club pairing to each mountain during 52 Peaks, we hope to provide opportunities for our friends and followers to discover a book that transforms their lives in some way. The moment in reading when a connection through time and space is made with a character is one of the magical moments in life that reminds us that we are all one together in this long story of humanity. We each have moments in which we laugh, cry and love. We each have triumphs and failures. We are, at our core, one and the same. In this way, a book can become as much of a friend as any person.
For me (Tami), the book club is an extension of a deep passion that stretches back to before I was even born when my pregnant mother read books each night to her expected daughter. From birth, different family members read me books continuously until I could read myself. And once I could read, my lifelong passion for books became unstoppable. Books have been a guidepost for me in all chapters of my life. There have been times they have given me solace. There are times they made me forget or laugh at the absurdity of a current situation. There have been special moments when a book has taught me something new about myself. There have been chameleon like books that as I reread them help me discover changes in myself because I read them at different times in my life. I am sure that if I looked back at the books I have read over the last four decades, they would plot the progression of my life in a way that would illuminate the person I am now.
Hiking is my new love of only a few years. Like reading different books, hiking various places has taught me new things about myself that I wouldn't have thought were possible. When I started hiking, I quickly began to see how my personal growth in the mountains paralleled my learning from reading books. Many times, as I would walk along a new path, I would connect with the wisdom or story from a book that I had read. I understood that if I told people about that intersection between a book and a trail, then they would understand my soul in a new way. By sharing these book choices with the mountains we hike, we are sharing unique insights with you about who we are as people and how this journey we are on is redefining who we are becoming. We are sharing our hearts and we are opening a bridge to understanding the personal story we hope to tell when the 52 journey is over.
We welcome you to join us in reading or rereading these books. Most of the books chosen will be favorites reread many times already. There will also be some new books that have a special meaning to the place we are currently traveling. Some books will have been chosen because they have an obvious connection to the mountain or location. Other times, a book will be chosen because it has a deeper connection to the journey we are on inside ourselves at that moment. As we begin each new mountain, we will send out the newsletter announcing the new peak and we will include the book club pairing with an explanation of why we choose that book for that part of the journey. When each peak is done, we will post a blog with our book club insights about that read and the particular moments that touched us in a new way.
Read the books that catch your interest. Our deepest hope is that you will fall in love with some of these books too and you will be inspired to change your own perspective or goals in a way that brings additional happiness and understanding in your lives. Whether it's a book you have already read or just discovered, please post your comments with the blog for that book once the blog is posted. Books are meant to be interactive and to light fires of discussion between all kinds of people. By sharing your discoveries and insights, you will be helping all of us to discover new ideas and providing support and love that will help fuel us for the next mountain.
Books are a deep, lifelong love affair. Nothing will make us happier than to share this love with our friends and family out there following us on this journey. We will be connected to each of you as you are reading the pages and hope that your experience of these books will give each of you a new passion to live your life in a way that you might not yet have discovered. We have already announced the first book, The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. I encourage you to read it over the next couple of months before 52 Peaks actually begins. To understand where we are going, we must understand the journey. This is the lesson of this book and I can think of no story more appropriate to personify the beginning of a journey of two friends in the middle of their lives hiking 52 peaks in 52 weeks. Enjoy and Namaste.

In December we had yet again another reappearance of the cooling fans not kicking in at low speed. I again fitted a new new relay which didn't fix the issue. By now I had a good collection of relays (2 new, the original and the X300 one fitted 3 years ago) and refusing to believe that all were faulty, did some diagnostic digging over the Christmas break.
So out with the electrical circuit diagram and a magnifying glass.
- First checked the fuses which looked good, but changed them just in case. No change.
- Next checked the operation of the radiator thermo switch with a multimeter (earth pin beside the LH air box and positive on the relay plug base and monitoring the temp using an IR thermometer on the top radiator hose. The low temp switch in the sensor closed bang on @86 deg.
- Checked the fan operation by carefully stripping the cover off the original relay, plugging it in and manually activating each relay. Both fans worked in low and high speed.
- Using this relay I then hooked up a 12v battery and checked the relay operation. All clicked as they should and then checked one of the new relays which also clicked away.
- By now I was thinking dirty connectors or a voltage drop and so proceeded to clean what connectors I could easily get to and the earth point with no success.
On a more positive note Lady P now has new shoes!
The Bridgestones she was wearing still had a good depth of tread, were evenly worn and had no cracking, but decoding the date stamp in the sidewalls revealed they were over 15 years old! I ended up fitting a set of Michelin Sport Pilot 3 tyres in the original 225/55R16 size.
The change in ride and handling was immediately apparent. The ride is noticeably more compliant, steering a bit lighter and I can get an extra 20kph going round my fast test corner near home. I could have gone faster but the pucker factor kicked in and it was double demerits season here. Previously I would be feeling the old tyres starting to loose grip and squealing at far lower speed.
