When meteors streak through the sky - as shooting stars - they are beautiful to see.
"Science at NASA" explains what happened when meteors - in this instance, debris from Halley's Comet - passed by Earth during October of 2012.
That particular phenomenon - known as the Orionid meteor shower which occurs once a year - was expected to produce about 25 meteors an hour at its peak (on October 12, 2012).

"Bluecoat Gin represents a revitalization of craftsmanship, urban renewal and responsible sourcing — three values that the Fishtown section of Philadelphia and Bluecoat represents."
— Andrew Auwerda, President of Philadelphia Distilling.
"With a smooth foundational spirit, our distilling team was eager to experiment with the delicate touch of elderflower and the new distillery-only bottling reflects our distillers' talents and the evolution of Bluecoat's unique style. Bluecoat Elderflower is the continuation of our local legacy in gin."
Bluecoat Elderflower is at home in any classic gin cocktail and also mixes well with sparkling wines or simply works poured over ice.

Permanent exhibition Escher in The PalaceWednesday 1 January 2014 - Thursday 31 December 2020 Escher in the Palace
The Lange Voorhout Palace houses the largest collection with works from the hands of the tessellation and optical illusions master: Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher.
Maurits Cornelis Escher, who lived from 1898 to 1972, was a genius at drawing impossible situations. If you take a closer look at his work you realise that Escher's illustrations are mathematical masterpieces of optical illusion. In one of his most famous works, Waterfall, water flows uphill and the towers are put together incongruously. Other works show birds morphing into fish and figures that endlessly walk up and down a staircase in the same courtyard.
The exhibition at Escher in the Palace combines unique works of art with biographical material including photographs, letters, and preliminary sketches. Escher mainly worked with printing techniques such as woodcut, lithography, mezzotint and tessellation. On the second floor, the question 'What is an optical illusion?' is presented. Here visitors can discover the 'Escher experience' by learning about reflection, perception and perspective and unravel some of the mysteries by playing with Escher's work.
The Escher collection is borrowed from the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. The palace has been owned by the Dutch Royal Family in the past and it was Queen Emma,great grandmother of the present King Willem-Alexander, who bought it in 1896.

Innovative, lightweight Folded Mini Strap (FMS) provides improved restraint for walls wherever masonry hangers are used to support joists. In place of the heavy traditional 30 x 5mm galvanised steel strap, the new lightweight FMS is installed to provide restraint at every joist up to 600mm centres, complying with the requirements of Building Regulations Document A and NHBC. This effectively simplifies the whole process, cutting out the design time needed to calculate and specify where restraint straps must be installed.

2018 Pasadena City College Men's Soccer News
Jimenez Heads List of 4 To Earn All-SCC Men's Soccer HonorsNovember 20, 2018Leading scorer and sophomore forward Anthony Jimenez, who tallied eight goals and six assists, topped a group of four Lancers to be picked to the 2018 All-South Coast Conference North Division Men's Soccer Team.
Fit To Be Tied, Men's Soccer Season ClosesNovember 13, 2018A season of late leads being erased came to an end Friday for the Pasadena City College men's soccer team. The Lancers had one more chance at victory dashed by host El Camino as the Warriors scored in the final minute to tie PCC, 2-2, in South Coast Conference crossover game.
Late Goals Allowed Continue To Haunt Men's SoccerNovember 02, 2018The Pasadena City College men's soccer team can only think about what might have been in the 2018 season. As has been the case against good to great opponents, the Lancers held leads going into the final minutes only to see them turn into ties and defeats.
Men's Soccer Keeps Playoff Hopes Alive With Upset Of ChaffeyOctober 27, 2018Going into the final few weeks of South Coast Conference play, the Pasadena City College men's soccer team has a narrow margin of error to try to grab a postseason playoff berth. The Lancers went in the right direction Friday when they knocked off Chaffey, 2-1, in a North Division game at Robinson Stadium.
Big Lead Disappears In 4-4 Tie For Men's SoccerOctober 23, 2018No lead is safe at Robinson Stadium. The Pasadena City College men's soccer team learned that lesson Tuesday after jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the game's first 12 minutes and holding a 4-1 lead after 35 minutes. Visiting Los Angeles Harbor bombarded the Lancers with numerous scoring chances over the final 55 minutes and rallied to gain a 4-4 tie.
Men's Soccer Edges Compton, 2-1October 17, 2018Romio Sislian deked past two Compton defenders and darted around the goalie to knock in the game-winning goal with eight minutes left, lifting the Pasadena City College men's soccer team over the Tartars, 2-1, Tuesday at Robinson Stadium.
Men's Soccer Lets Lead Slip Away In 4-3 Loss To #8 Rio HondoOctober 05, 2018The unranked Pasadena City College men's soccer team had all the momentum after taking a 1-0 halftime lead and then going ahead 3-1 after 62 minutes Friday against state No. 8 ranked Rio Hondo College. But the Roadrunners, the region's No. 6 rated squad in power points, showed why they are rated so high by rallying for three straight goals to send the Lancers to a 4-3, South Coast Conference North Division loss at Robinson Stadium.
Nunez Late Goal Gives PCC Home-Opening 3-2 Win Over ELACSeptember 28, 2018After seven road games to start the season, the Pasadena City College men's soccer team finally played its 2018 home opener Friday at Robinson Stadium. The narrow football field has always produced some classic games and the matchup between the Lancers and visiting East Los Angeles was another end-to-end thriller.
Men's Soccer Keeps Up Strong Road TripSeptember 21, 2018The Pasadena City College men's soccer team didn't know what to expect on its long, season-opening, 7-match road trip, but a 3-2-1 mark thus far has encouraged the Lancers as they enter the highly difficult South Coast Conference schedule. The Lancers shut out host Glendale, 2-0, on Friday night.
Men's Soccer Nearly Upsets State No. 1-Ranked Taft, Ends As 1-1 TieSeptember 15, 2018It was oh so close for the Pasadena City College men's soccer team Friday as the Lancers held a 1-0 lead on the road at state No. 1-ranked Taft after 90 minutes. But with a long stoppage time determined by the referees, Taft drew a foul in the box on PCC six minutes later and capitalized with a penalty kick goal to pull out a 1-1 tie v. unranked Pasadena.
Jimenez Keys Men's Soccer Blanking Of LA Mission, 3-0September 12, 2018It was a week shy of a year ago that Anthony Jimenez scored his first collegiate goal when the then freshman drove in a shot at LA Mission College's El Cariso Field. After missing the team's first three games, Jimenez returned to the Lancers lineup Tuesday for his sophomore debut. Lo and behold, Jimenez was playing at that same field and he again made his presence known.
Men's Soccer Holds Off Southwestern, 2-1September 04, 2018Romio Sislian scored with a minute left before halftime for the deciding goal in a 2-1 victory for the Pasadena City College men's soccer team at Southwestern College on Friday. The Lancers evened their record to 1-1.
Men's Soccer Embarks On Long Road StartAugust 29, 2018With seven straight road matches to begin the 2018 season, the Pasadena City College men's soccer team knows it will have to figure out ways to combat the traveling while trying to keep up with some of its high-rated opponents.

When is the last time you laughed out loud when you were absolutely alone? It's a lot easier, of course, in company. But there are times when having a good giggle or guffaw in complete privacy can be valuable. It stirs the juices, releases those endorphins, and massages your internal organs. Many researchers have attested to its life prolonging properities.
Humor has always been a part of my life. As a kid, I used to print up and distribute little newletter satirical reviews of my parents' cousins' club meetings. And in Jr. High School, I was the humorist on the school paper. Later, while playing the role of serious newsman at NBC Radio in New York, I would try out comedy material at the original Improvisation, the first comedy club in the world, and the only one in the early 1970s. I wrote for several comedians, and had started writing gags for magazine cartoonists even earlier than that, between broadcast stints at the radio and TV station I worked at in Richmond, Virginia.
It came naturally--my father was very funny. Everyone who knew him as a child say he was much funnier than his neighbor two doors down, Joey Gottlieb, who became the comedy star and Rat Pack member, Joey Bishop. But Joey was more willing to
take risks, to struggle all during the 1930s and 1940s trying to earn a living at show business. It wasn't until the late 1940s when he was discovered in Atlantic City by Frank Sinatra that it all became true for him. My father's unwillingness to go through all that with no guarantee of success taught me a valuable lesson in reverse. I determined never in my life to be in a position where I could look back and say, "I wish I had had the nerve to go for that, to take that risk."
This is all by way of an introduction to the main point of this essay, which is to share with you some recent online discoveries that tickle my own funnybone and have made me laugh out loud. On April 22 I published a post on this blog about humor, and will continue to do so from time to time. And these could just be the most important and useful posts of all.
I just found in the past week, one of the funniest sites ever, and I want to share with you the first short cartoon I watched on it, warning you first that it is in extremely bad taste and pretty raunchy--get the children out of the room now!
Make sure you click on the play movie pawprint. This icebox.com site is a treasure trove of funny adult cartoons.
Next, a great animation site and funny one minute cartoon:
and finally, imagine a website that films seven nights a week from the nation's top comedy clubs--talk about an unending source of laughter. This bit is about one of my pet peeves, and I've sent it to a bunch of friends.
all three of these sites offer many more items to pick from.
And if you think you don't have time for such frivolous activities, I think you're missing the point. Not the point of this blog--the point of life. Enjoy it all!
By the way, I improve immensely the impact of this funny stuff by watching it as I have a healthy dark chocolate Xocai Nugget melt in my mouth. To find out more about my prosperity team sharing this fantastic business opportunity, or to request a free sample, just get in touch:

I can't tell you how many conversations I have had with a woman embarking on recovery that is traumatized by abuse in some way, shape or form. I think we can all agree that the word abuse riles up a certain distain in each of us. But have you ever thought about yourself as the abuser? Ouch, tough question and I bet most would say no way! However, the same women I talk to are also abusers of themselves. This is not an accusation I state lightly as I am also an alumni of abusing myself. I am talking about negative self-talk, self-hate and self-loathing. Regardless of its origin, I believe we are all guilty of this on some level. I used to beat myself up with demeaning and horrible statements when I didn't live up to my unrealistic expectations. Calling myself a stupid this or an incompetent that. Even for an accidental toe stubbing! Can you imagine if you stubbed your toe and I hollered at you that you were a total moron? Have Mercy, that's not even logical or remotely loving and respectful!!!! My friends….is this not verbal and emotional abuse? I had to ask myself, would you say these things you claim about yourself, in your head, to another living human being? Heck no!! So why is it ok to have this running commentary in our heads and spirits about ourselves? It's not!! Its verbal, emotional and mental abuse towards ourselves and by ourselves. And it's not ok!
I just returned from a trip to Scotland with my family. We visited the ancestral home of the MacDougalls, in Argyll, near Oban, as well as in Edinburgh, where my grandfather was born in 1888.

The Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Summer London Program is a unique opportunity for undergraduate chemical and biomolecular engineers to explore London while taking two classes for five weeks. Students live in Lee Abbey Hall in the heart of Kensington, and take classes at Imperial College-London, in South Kensington. The chemical engineering lab is a required course and taught by a Notre Dame professor, and the plant operations class is a CBE Elective. Both classes are taught at Imperial College-London. The plant operations course is taught in the ChemEng Discovery Space at Imperial College, a fully functional Carbon Capture Plant.
The program recognizes that professional engineers practice in an international environment, and are therefore responsible to global technological progress as well as social concerns. Students who participate in the international study programs are exposed to technological achievements in other countries, and the everyday life in those countries. Students become aware of the world, their voice in it, and their responsibilities to it.

Pete Wentz and his longtime-girlfriend Meagan Camper have announced the birth of their daughter, Marvel Jane Wentz.
In a post via Instagram, Wentz shared the news. The photo of his growing family was captioned, "So excited to introduce Marvel Jane Wentz. Feeling so grateful that she's here... annnnd she's already ready to takeover the world ❤🌎 happy Mother's Day @meagancamper and all the moms out there. We ❤ you".
Marvel joins two brothers; 3-year-old Saint whose mother is also Meagan Camper, and 9-year-old Bronx (whose mother is Ashlee Simpson).
Wentz, who is the bassist for the rock band Fall Out Boy, was excited to have a girl around the house to combat all of the testosterone.
"I see my friends who have daughters, and it seems like a whole different kind of love that they have for each other, so I look forward to that being a completely new journey," he told PEOPLE. "Hopefully it'll bring some balance to our home!".
Wentz and Camper have been dating since 2011. They announced their pregnancy in January of this year on Instagram with a sweet photo of Brox and Saint. The two brothers are sitting with a pink box, wrapped with a pink ribbon. The photo was captioned, "Happy New Year! We're kicking the year off with news of the best gift yet: 👧🏻 coming to our family in 2018... love Pete, Meagan, Bronx and Saint".
The couple's unusual choice for a name has been causing fans to wonder if perhaps she is named after the famous Marvel character - Captain Marvel. Marvel Studios is set to release Captain Marvel in March of 2019, as the newest addition to their Avengers series.
The film stars Captain Marvel, an Air Force pilot turned-superhero, who is played by actress Brie Larson. Her super-powers include, "flight, enhanced strength, durability and the ability to shoot concussive energy bursts from her hands".
It is not a stretch to think that these proud parents would want to bestow on their newborn daughter a powerful name that implies all of the feminine strength of Captain Marvel. Moreover, this name is unique and pairs beautifully with that of her brothers. Or perhaps the young family is just "filled with wonder and astonishment" at the arrival of their new baby girl, as the definition of the word suggests.
Congrats to the Wentz family on their newest arrival!

This summer's Captain America: Civil War kicked off Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in style. Earning widespread critical acclaim (read our review), it became the first movie of 2016 to earn $1 billion at the worldwide box office and is currently the highest grossing film of the year. With its theatrical run drawing to a close soon, attention will start turning to the home media release and all the goodies that will entail.
As many fans know, a key selling point of Blu-rays is the bonus material, which offers behind-the-scenes looks at the making of the film, peeling the curtain back and showcasing how standout sequences were crafted. These always have the potential to be highly insightful and a treat for cinephiles, many of whom have a high interest in filmmaking. And for fans of mega franchises, the extra content satisfies cravings they have for more of a particular brand as they await the next series installment. Luckily, it seems like the Civil War Blu-ray will have all those bases covered.
During the annual Disney Holiday Preview in New York, Stitch Kingdom got their hands on a copy of the Civil War Blu-ray that was on display. It included the list of special features that will be available on the disc. UPDATE: The official Civil War Blu-ray cover has been revealed, along with official descriptions of the film's Blu-ray special features. The Civil War DVD/Blu-ray arrives on September 13th of this year, though the film will become available in Digital HD a week and a half earlier, on September 2nd.
Here are the official descriptions of the Civil War Blu-ray special features:
- United We Stand, Divided We Fall – The Making of Captain America: Civil War Part 1 & Part 2 – As the tension mounts, sides are chosen and lines drawn. Learn more about the characters on each side—from Captain America and Iron Man to the latest recruits. In this complete behind-the-scenes look at a landmark in the Marvel saga, we'll examine their stories through exclusive footage and interviews and discover just what went into selecting the Super Hero teams, filming the epic action sequences and introducing Black Panther and Spider-Man to the MCU.
- Captain America: The Road to Civil War – Explore the First Avenger's fascinating evolution from loyal soldier to seasoned, conflicted hero who questions authority.
- Iron Man: The Road to Civil War – From Gulmira to Sokovia, delve into the development and evolution of one of the most iconic characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- Gag Reel – Break the tension of this high-stakes conflict with some hilarious outtakes featuring the lighter side of your favorite Super Heroes.
- Deleted & Extended Scenes – Check out never-before-seen footage that didn't make the final cut of Captain America: Civil War.
- Audio Commentary – Directors Anthony and Joe Russo and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely deliver scene-by-scene insight and explain the storytelling challenges they faced creating the third installment of the Captain America franchise.
- Open Your Mind: Marvel's Doctor Strange - Exclusive Sneak Peek – Go behind and beyond the scenes as Doctor Strange makes his journey to the big screen.
This is a fairly comprehensive collection that should give viewers a lot to check out once they rewatch the film again. The making of documentary is sure to be chock full of fun interviews and revelations, chronicling Captain America's arc from when he was first introduced back in 2011. It's also nice to see that there is a feature length audio commentary with the Russo brothers and the writing team of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. The passion that quartet has for Marvel's characters is apparent based on their work in Civil War and The Winter Soldier, so listening to them dive deep into the process of bringing such an ambitious project to the screen should be fascinating.
While the examinations of Steve Rogers and Tony Stark (in the "Road To" series) sound interesting, there will probably be more attention given to the Doctor Strange preview as Marvel shifts gears to the Sorcerer Supreme's origin story. They have long had success elevating "second tier" heroes to A-list status, and Stephen Strange is hoping to follow the footsteps of Peter Quill and Scott Lang. There will be many people purchasing Civil War on home media, so this is a golden opportunity for Marvel to promote their upcoming project, which will be the first to delve into the realm of magic in the MCU. Hence, it's no surprise that the Civil War Blu-ray will be on shelves well before November, when Doctor Strange is slated to hit the multiplex.

Police have arrested a third person in connection with the September shooting that killed one and wounded four in Bridgeport.
It happened the afternoon of Sept. 10 outside the T Mart at Reservoir and Grandview avenues. LaChristopher Pettway, 26, died in the shooting. Juwan Edwards, 15, Aijaholn Tisdale, 19, Leroy Shaw, 15, and Tamir Hamilton, 19, were injured.
Police said Pettway did not appear to be the intended target.
Twenty-three-year-old Raashon Jackson is the third suspect to be arrested. He's charged with murder, four counts of criminal attempt at murder, four counts of first-degree assault, criminal possession of a firearm, carrying a pistol without a permit, unlawful discharge of a firearm and first-degree reckless endangerment.
Another alleged gunman, 19-year-old Roderick "Riki" Rogers, was arrested Sept. 16, and 20-year-old David Anderson was arrested Sept. 25 and charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Police said Anderson drove the gunmen to and from the scene.
All three suspects are behind bars.
"This crime shook our community to its core," said Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch, in a statement. "These were convicted felons who never should have possessed guns in the first place, and they proceeded to fire into a crowd to settle a score. I want to thank the detectives who worked so hard on this case."
The day after the shooting, police arrested 28-year-old Jalil Hill and said he may have been planning retaliation for the crime.
Hill was charged with criminal possession of a firearm by a felon, carrying a weapon in a motor vehicle and carrying a pistol without a permit.

The main limit right now to US drone strikes the world over is the finite number of operators remotely piloting these drones. The Pentagon is pushing for DARPA to find a solution to that, with an eye toward artificial intelligence (AI).
The immediate focus is the creation of a "collaborative" artificial intelligence that would allow the drone operator to effectively control a whole "wolf pack" of drones by controlling one, and having the others come along for the ride.
This would allow the drone operator to bring a whole fleet of drones worth of missiles with him to attacks, an obvious advantage over the current system. Yet the long-term goal seems to be to limit human interaction with air wars more and more.
DARPA officials are already talking about making the drones more and more autonomous, with a "mission supervisor" taking the place of actual drone operators, and software doing the flying.
But what about the killing? They're not talking about it right now. but the Pentagon has been keen on making AI capable of identifying and attacking enemies, so the effort to reduce the number of people involved in the drone program may be the first step toward them being fully autonomous killer robots in the sky.
As "Drone Warfare. Killing by Remote Control", Medea Benjamin's well-researched book points out, speculation about the potential of autonomous flying vehicles long predates their actual construction. But in the modern era we have to thank above all Abraham Karem, chief designer for the Israeli airforce, who migrated to California and by the 1980s was building drones in his garage with the enthusiastic support of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and, later, the CIA. From then on, powered by huge advances in information and computer technology, drones have become irresistibly attractive to military and police forces across the industrialised world, providing a financial bonanza for the – mainly US and Israeli – companies that build them.
Today, drones range from the tiny humming-bird sized surveillance devices to the plane-sized Predators and Reapers carrying Hellfire missiles. "Gorgon Stare" drones can spy on an entire small city. Miniaturisation promises solar-powered insect-sized drones capable of staying aloft indefinitely or being steered into buildings to spy or kill. Drones have spun off from the military and are now used commercially in various ways, from delivering packages to spraying pesticides. You can buy your own smartphone-controlled drone from Amazon for as little as $300. There's no technical reason why they shouldn't in future replace pilots on passenger planes. And as always, there's an enthusiastic community of DIYers building and flying their own.
But it is their military use that is the focus of Benjamin's book. Initially, they were used primarily for surveillance; by 2003, US drones were logging 1500 hours a month in Iraq; and by 2010, 20 Predator flights were providing some 500 hours of video surveillance a day in Afghanistan. They were limited in their use during the George W Bush presidency, but Barack Obama initiated a step‑change by approving their use for "targeted killing", not just in Afghanistan but also Pakistan, an escalation already pioneered by the Israelis in Gaza. The drones track and kill identified militants – or individuals whose behaviour, as observed from the drone, fits a pattern thought to typify militancy. Despite numerous direct reports of civilian deaths, the Obama administration insists that so-called collateral damage is slight. However, as it also persists with the view that any prime-age male killed by a drone is by definition a militant, the claim lacks elementary credibility. Even the anger over the deliberate targeting by the CIA of a US citizen in Yemen in 2011, or the accidental killing of 20 Pakistani soldiers in Waziristan has not limited their use. A recent British poll found 54% were in favour of such targeted killing.
That such extra-judicial killing is illegal is not in doubt – as has recently been reconfirmed by the UN special rapporteur Ben Emmerson. Obama's justification is similar to Bush's – that those killed are actively threatening the security of the US. But the crucial issue is an ethical one: the pilot of a drone tracking the movements of a Waziri villager and making a life-or-death decision to fire a missile may be sitting in a control room in a US air base in the Nevada desert. That's when many will agree with Benjamin, a founder of the women's anti-war movement CODEPINK, that a moral line has been crossed.
Is firing a missile from a drone morally worse than dropping a 500lb bomb from 10,000ft? Or pressing the button that launches a cruise missile? Perhaps what is repugnant is the unique combination of deliberately firing at a specific individual, combined with distance and the knowledge that you yourself are invulnerable to retaliation. Time to reprise the ancient Greeks with their contempt for archers. Despite some loose editing and repetition, Drone Warfare is both a justifiably angry sourcebook and a call to action for the growing worldwide citizen opposition to the drones.

Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control by Medea Benjamin – review Steven Rose Thursday 9 May 2013
While the rapid infiltration of drones into the gaming domain clearly reflects that drones are becoming a common weapon among armed forces, their appearance in Walmart, Toys "R" Us and Amazon serves, in turn, to normalize their deployment in the military.
Drones, as Grégoire Chamayou argues in his book, A Theory of the Drone, have a uniquely seductive power, one that attracts militaries, politicians and citizens alike. A research scholar in philosophy at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris, Chamayou is one of the most profound contemporary thinkers working on the deployment of violence and its ethical ramifications. And while his new book offers a concise history of drones, it focuses on how drones are changing warfare and their potential to alter the political arena of the countries that utilize them.
Chamayou traces one of the central ideas informing the production and deployment of drones back to John W. Clark, an American engineer who carried out a study on "remote control in hostile environments" in 1964. In Clark's study, space is divided into two kinds of zones—hostile and safe—while robots operated by remote control are able to relieve human beings of all perilous occupations within hostile zones. The sacrifice of miners, firefighters, or those working on skyscrapers will no longer be necessary, since the collapse of a tunnel in the mines, for example, would merely lead to the loss of several robots operated by remote control.
The same logic informed the creation of drones. They were initially utilized as part of the military's defense system in hostile territories. After the Egyptian military shot down about 30 Israel fighter jets in the first hours of the 1973 war, Israeli air-force commanders decided to change their tactics and send a wave of drones. As soon as the Egyptians fired their initial salvo of anti-aircraft missiles at the drones, the Israeli airplanes were able to attack as the Egyptians were reloading.
Over the years, drones have also become an important component of the intelligence revolution. Instead of sending spies or reconnaissance airplanes across enemy lines, drones can continuously fly above hostile terrain gathering information. As Chamayou explains, drones do not merely provide a constant image of the enemy, but manage to fuse together different forms of data. They carry technology that can interpret electronic communications from radios, cell phones and other devices and can link a telephone call with a particular video or provide the GPS coordinates of the person using the phone. Their target is, in other words, constantly visible.
Using drones to avert missiles or for reconnaissance was, of course, considered extremely important, yet military officials aspired to transform drones into lethal weapons as well. On February 16, 2001, after many years of U.S. investment in R&D, a Predator drone first successfully fired a missile and hit its target. As Chamayou puts it, the notion of turning the Predator into a predator had finally been realized. Within a year, the Predator was preying on live targets in Afghanistan.
A Humanitarian Weapon
Over the past decade, the United States has manufactured more than 6000 drones of various kinds. 160 of these are Predators, which are used not only in Afghanistan but also in countries officially at peace with the US, such as Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. In Pakistan, CIA drones carry out on average of one strike every four days. Although exact figures of fatalities are difficult to establish, the estimated number of deaths between 2004 and 2012 vary from 2562 to 3325.
Chamayou underscores how drones are changing our conception of war in three major ways. First, the idea of a frontier or battlefield is rendered meaningless as is the idea that there are particular places—like homesteads—where the deployment of violence is considered criminal. In other words, if once the legality of killing was dependent on where the killing was carried out, today US lawyers argue that the traditional connection between geographical spaces—such as the battlefield, home, hospital, mosque—and forms of violence are out of date. Accordingly, every place becomes a potential site of drone violence.
Second, the development of "precise missiles," the kind with which most drones are currently armed led to the popular conception that drones are precise weapons. Precision, though, is a slippery concept. For one, chopping off a person's head with a machete is much more precise than any missile, but there is no political or military support for precision of this kind in the West. Indeed, "precision" turns out to be an extremely copious category. The U.S., for example, counts all military age males in a strike zone as combatants unless there is explicit intelligence proving them innocent posthumously. The real ruse, then, has to do with the relation between precision and geography. As precise weapons, drones also render geographical contours irrelevant since the ostensible precision of these weapons justifies the killing of suspected terrorists in their homes. A legal strike zone is then equated with anywhere the drone strikes. And when "legal killing" can occur anywhere, then one can execute suspects anywhere—even in zones traditionally conceived as off-limits.
Finally, drones change our conception of war because it becomes, in Chamayou's words, a priori impossible to die as one kills. One air-force officer formulated this basic benefit in the following manner: "The real advantage of unmanned aerial systems is that they allow you to protect power without projecting vulnerability." Consequently, drones are declared to be a humanitarian weapon in two senses: they are precise vis-à-vis the enemy, and ensure no human cost to the perpetrator.
From Conquest to Pursuit
If Guantanamo was the icon of President George W. Bush's anti-terror policy, drones have become the emblem of the Obama presidency. Indeed, Chamayou maintains that President Barak Obama has adopted a totally different anti-terror doctrine from his predecessor: kill rather than capture, replace torture with targeted assassinations.
Citing a New York Times report, Chamayou describes the way in which deadly decisions are reached: "It is the strangest of bureaucratic rituals... Every week or so, more than 100 members of the sprawling national security apparatus gather by secure video teleconference, to pore over terrorist suspects' biographies and to recommend to the president who should be the next to die." In D.C, this is called "Terror Tuesday." Once established, the list is subsequently sent to the White House where the president gives his oral approval for each name. "With the kill list validated, the drones do the rest."
Obama's doctrine entails a change in the paradigm of warfare. In contrast to military theorist Carl Von Clausewitz, who claimed that the fundamental structure of war is a duel of two fighters facing each other, we now have, in Chamayou's parlance, a hunter closing in on its a prey. Chamayou, who also wrote Manhunts: A Philosophical History, which examines the history of hunting humans from ancient Sparta to the modern practices of chasing undocumented migrants, recounts how according to English common law one could hunt badgers and foxes in another man's land, "because destroying such creatures is said to be profitable to the Public." This is precisely the kind of law that the US would like to claim for drones, he asserts.
The strategy of militarized manhunting is essentially preemptive. It is not a matter of responding to actual attacks but rather preventing the possibility of emerging threats by the early elimination of potential adversaries. According to this new logic, war is no longer based on conquest—Obama is not interested in colonizing swaths of land in northern Pakistan—but on the right of pursuit. The right to pursue the prey wherever it may be found, in turn, transforms the way we understand the basic principles of international relations since it undermines the notion of territorial integrity as well as the idea of nonintervention and the broadly accepted definition of sovereignty as the supreme authority over a given territory.
Wars without Risks
The transformation of Clausewitz's warfare paradigm manifests itself in other ways as well. Drone wars are wars without losses or defeats, but they are also wars without victory. The combination of the two lays the ground for perpetual violence, the utopian fantasy of those profiting from the production of drones and similar weapons.
Just as importantly, drones change the ethics of war. According to the new military morality, to kill while exposing one's life to danger is bad; to take lives without ever endangering one's own is good. Bradley Jay Strawser, a professor of philosophy at the US naval Postgraduate school in California, is a prominent spokesperson of the "principle of unnecessary risk." It is, in his view, wrong to command someone to take an unnecessary risk, and consequently it becomes a moral imperative to deploy drones.
Exposing the lives of one's troops was never considered good, but historically it was believed to be necessary. Therefore dying for one's country was deemed to be the greatest sacrifice and those who did die were recognized as heroes. The drone wars, however, are introducing a risk-free ethics of killing. What is taking place is a switch from an ethics of "self-sacrifice and courage to one of self-preservation and more or less assumed cowardice."
Chamayou refers to this as "necro-ethics." Paradoxically, necro-ethics is, on the one hand, vitalist in the sense that the drone supposedly does not kill innocent bystanders while securing the life of the perpetrator. This has far-reaching implications, since the more ethical the weapon seems, the more acceptable it is and the more readily it will likely be used. On the other hand, the drone advances the doctrine of killing well, and in this sense stands in opposition to the classical ethics of living well or even dying well.
Transforming Politics in the Drone States
Moreover, drones change politics within the drone states. Because drones transform warfare into a ghostly teleguided act orchestrated from a base in Nevada or Missouri, whereby soldiers no longer risk their lives, the critical attitude of citizenry towards war is also profoundly transformed, altering, as it were, the political arena within drone states.
Drones, Chamayou says, are a technological solution for the inability of politicians to mobilize support for war. In the future, politicians might not need to rally citizens because once armies begin deploying only drones and robots there will be no need for the public to even know that a war is being waged. So while, on the one hand, drones help produce the social legitimacy towards warfare through the reduction of risk, on the other hand, they render social legitimacy irrelevant to the political decision making process relating to war. This drastically reduces the threshold for resorting to violence, so much so that violence appears increasingly as a default option for foreign policy. Indeed, the transformation of wars into a risk free enterprise will render them even more ubiquitous than they are today. This too will be one of Obama's legacies.

Just for your info:
I'm waiting for Mr. J before I reply since this will require a different approach if he is also on board.June 20, 2017 at 6:53 am #652
No problem, just let Glo know where you want her to be… although walking in to a cloud of gas won't be high on her 'to do' list…June 21, 2017 at 6:42 am #667adamuParticipant
@Aria – I have reviewed back through the thread quite a ways, and I THINK Glo is still hanging with Al and Jan in the storage unit…..If I got that wrong I can edit out the last bit of my recent post (or change it to a commcall).June 21, 2017 at 6:49 am #668
Yes, still there as far as I know… bit hazy on timings of things now thoughJune 21, 2017 at 7:34 am #675
On the rules mechanics of John's plan: Pepperpunch grenades have a radius of 10m, so I assume, opening a valve will allow John to pass a 10m radius with every initiative pass. With an expected 4 passes (and his insane movement speed) he can cover within one combat round (that hopefully contains the guests to be surprised saturate a whole ball room with up to 1200m². Going full defense at full speed I can add another dose to the mix to increase the toxin rating in the second round at the end of which everyone affected will have to resist damage.
One round later even the hardest bastard should be on his knees (it's contact vector too)
Depending on your mood you could open up the airflow again and safe their lives, or leave them to asphyxiate within the next four combat rounds.
How we keep the doors closed depends on how the layout is – electronic locks can be hacked, but using glue spray seems to be the more secure option – another job for a skilled Infiltrator 😉June 21, 2017 at 8:51 am #678
What is your move? I thought that the move was for the entire turn, not per each IP, so that a person with a movement of 12 could go 12 meters spaced throughout the entire combat turn. Running would be more distance, but I still am not sure how the math works.June 21, 2017 at 9:05 am #679
The drone body has 5G movement
Per the basic rules, that translates to 160 m per turn
Per the a little more sane rules of 30m/turn per point of speed its 150m/turn
So there is quite a bit of ground John can cover 😀June 21, 2017 at 9:11 am #680
Wow. So how does anyone prepare for or beat something like you?June 21, 2017 at 9:22 am #681
Doesn't mean you can't just hit the drone – the speed doesn't much for my defense (except that I can quickly disengage)June 21, 2017 at 11:14 am #683MisterJoshuaParticipant680 wrote:

This was what I asked after our last mission 😛
It's all going to look a bit Benny Hill isn't it? John running in circles around a room excreting gas while everyone collapses 😀
Maybe if we've got o seal the air-con anyway we could always just pump the gas in? Are the doors really going to contain it?June 21, 2017 at 11:39 am #685adamuParticipant
Well, it's pepper spray. In my experience (and I don't know the technical term), it's not even really a true gas, more of a liquid or at best a mist. It gets into everything it touches, but it's fairly heavy relative to air so it doesn flow and drift around much beyond the immediate dispersal zone. Anything that does go through doors witll be a painful annoyance, not a threat.
As for killing John, there are lots of good ways, some simple, some complicated. All depends on whether the opposition knows what they're up against.
In my imagination, the Triads, Yaks, etc aren't nearly as stupid as Al makes them out to be (because Al is just about as fatally overconfident and groundlessly dismissive of his enemies as they come).
If the Triads had moderately intelligent player-characters running them, they'd already have figured out who we are and with a bit of simple legwork communicated with the yaks and the seoulpas about everything they know about John. The Triads would all be sporting tasers and stun batons, and they'd have a specialized team of ECM experts and hackers to take him on or at least kick him out of his body.
of course I also think that we'd all have been subject to a lot more assassination attempts already at this point (and have thought of running some, but never find the time – sorry – but then, these guys never forget, so whenever I do find the time…..!). Not saying we couldn't make it – we are pretty cool characters. But I think the ride could probably have been a lot rougher so far – just as much them hunting us as us hunting them.
Then again, it really is all about having fun!June 21, 2017 at 12:58 pm #690MisterJoshuaParticipant
I agree. I think the whole thing is too smooth. I was going to interject some problems but kinda felt like we were treading on mercys solo storyline…
If I were to interject, there's a good chance we'd all die tonight. I think Fu Shing would also likely face an internal rebellion 😂June 21, 2017 at 1:22 pm #691
Smooth? Nah, I count at least 5 moving parts with this plan that could go horribly wrong (or horribly right – considering that gas attacks tend to be really indiscriminate).
John is just as irresponsible and arrogant as Al (or maybe more so) thanks to the fact that a) he is actually barely older than 21 b) he thinks he can escape the consequences of his actions at any time. As Adamu made clear that is not the case at all.June 21, 2017 at 11:55 pm #701
Small correction: Ving Sung never learned about John's involvement. He was unconscious before the battle began and John wasn't physically present at the interrogationJune 22, 2017 at 12:09 am #702
Edited it to two men and the girl. Thank you for pointing that out.
And, hey, if you need to throw Tanya for a loop, then go ahead and do it. I can try to work around it and adapt. I think killing Fu Shing would hurt her plans a lot and hope that you do not need to go that far, but hey, it is life in the sixth world, right?
But, like Adam, I do think it is about having fun and not necessarily busting chops just to make a player's story hard or impossible. I can get that from home.June 22, 2017 at 2:47 am #704
Thanks. And as mentioned, Tanya won't get grief from John in that regard – theoretically she could even stop the gas attack completely by asking nicely 😀June 22, 2017 at 7:19 am #708679 wrote:

50m / s for the more conservative rules??? Ok, I think we need to take that with a pinch of salt too… we all know that SR rules fall in to the realm of insanity once in a while! How the F*** would you corner at that speed, let alone avoid anything!?? 🙂June 22, 2017 at 10:27 am #712
There is a reason I installed climbing claws into all my limbs 😀June 22, 2017 at 11:06 am #713
I am still trying to figure out what Tanya will say about the poison idea. It certainly seems to be able to do the trick in removing her main opponents, but there is just part of her that shudders at the technique. Still, it is probably cleaner than trying to kill them all in a fight. She definitely shares Al's concerns about outsiders and innocents being killed.June 22, 2017 at 1:46 pm #719
Can't make an omelette without crushing some eggs and adding a bit of pepper 😉

Install a lightweight BT Client Transmission on openSUSE or Ubuntu
Posted by free4net on September 10, 2008
Transmission released new version 1.3.3 on 2008/08/21. You can use it in Mac OS X or Linux or FreeBSD platform that is a great BT client because you can use it in console or gui mode. It also support WebUI function that can be enabled by Clutch package that will be introduced installation in future. As long as the official site to download the source code can compile their own platform and use it. Of course you can search it from the Package Search of openSUSE site or Packages of Ubuntu site and then install it but the new version can't be found these sites so please follow my steps below to build it.
Step 1: You need to take care about dependency packages when you use source code to compile. I received an message as below when i compile it on Ubuntu.
- configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
The following command will install dependencies for you:
# apt-get install libc6-dev g++ gcc libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev gettext intltool
If this is your first time compiling on Unix, you'll need a few basic tools:
- gcc
- autoconf 2.54 or newer
- libtool
- automake 1.9 or newer
- gettext 0.14.1 or newer
- intltool 0.23 or newer
Once you've got the basics out of the way, here are the libraries that Transmission needs to have in order to build:
- OpenSSL 0.9.8 or newer
- libcurl 7.15.0 or newer
- GTK+ 2.6 or newer (only needed by the GTK+ gui)
- libnotify 0.0.4 (optional, and only needed by the GTK+ gui)
- DBUS 0.70 (optional, and only needed by the GTK+ gui)
Step 2: Download Transmission source code from http://www.transmissionbt.com/download.php and then follow these commands to build it.( root permission )
# tar -xvf transmission-1.33.tar.bz2
# cd transmission
# ./configure
# make
# make install
You have another choice to install transmission if you don't want to compile it. The choice is .rpm or .deb file as below which ware created by me.
transmission_133-1_i386.deb for Ubuntu 8.04
transmission-133-1i386.rpm for openSUSE 11.0

I know that Transmission is installed by default in Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 but i just want to summarize how to install the new version of Transimission.
September 28, 2008 at 2:38 am
Ok, installed without a hitch… now how the f do I run it? When I goto the Application menu > Internet > Transmission , it runs the old version.
Im pretty savvy with unix, and I really have no idea where to start looking to find where it installed, and then how to execute the new binary. Intracies like this are why mac and windows will still be around over linux as a desktop.
September 28, 2008 at 2:41 am
Its not /usr/bin/transmission . This just ran 1.06 version
September 30, 2008 at 9:20 am
You must uninstall these packages of transmission first.
transmission: Installs the daemon, cli and the gtk GUI
transmission-cli: Installs the daemon and the cli
transmission-common: Common files for the cli and gtk
transmission-gtk: Installs the gtk GUI only
And then you can follow the below link that contains Ubuntu binaries by transmission.

Difficult Seasons
Desired Outcomes:
Learning how to keep your heart and head right in the midst of difficult circumstance
Create confidence and faith, that despite difficult seasons we can remain steadfast
Core Scripture:
Psalm 23:1-6
For this message any fun and welcoming ice breaker could work.
If the group knows one another well, use the icebreaker to create a place of reflection
– ie. Make the icebreaker personal, let them reflect on something they might regret, or something they want to change in their lives and why they feel this must be done.
If there are new members always be careful of not creating a space where new members feel exposed or uncomfortable
Read the whole passage of scripture as introduction
The following could be relevant questions to ask:
- What do you get out of the scripture?
- What is your darkest valley today?
- What is your natural response in the valley?
God will always take you through the process of difficulty, just like Jesus was taken through the process of getting crucified. There is always a reason for God taking you through the process.
It is normal to have seasons where you will go through it, but I doesn't mean you should find yourself encamped in this season:
- What do you do with the pain during this process?
- The pain is not going away if you only ignore the pain
- The pain shows you where the issue is in your life- The root of the issue gives you the pain, or in other words the pain is only the symptom
- We usually treat the pain and forget about the real problem which is causing the pain
- Don't get used to your pain, make your pain unwelcome and make it leave you
Other Scriptures:
Joshua 6 The Walls of Jericho
- Fight it again, try again, do it again.
- Walk around one more time.
- Don't stop on six, your breakthrough might be one more time away.
- We usually give up just before the breakthrough (walls falling).
- You only stop when you don't believe that God can do it for you!
Praise and worship. Choose worship songs where they can surrender all to God and give him their lives
Pray for those who wants to give up and for those who are stuck in the valley. Pray for miracles and breakthroughs. Be led by the Spirit of God to prophesy and encourage through the gifts.

A growing number of Japanese women are afflicted with an illness, called "iku iku byo" /or "cum cum disease" in Japan, which gives them orgasms virtually 24 hours a day! Where even the vibrations of a mobile phone in the pocket could trigger the orgasm.
And yes its not just Japanese women that have it also women of other nationalities, outside Japan, women with this disorder call it "Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome /or PSAS" for short.
Though, haven't seen articles or anything relating PSAS with men, so far just on women.

How to Give the Real Christ to Young People
Very many leaders of churches think that by baptizing persons, preaching to them, giving them the sacraments, whether two or seven, having them attend church services, whether preaching or worship services, or Mass, and giving them social services such as food, clothing, shelter, education and health, very many of these church leaders think that by doing so they are giving Christ to these persons. They think that by these activities they are contributing to the spiritual development of these persons.
What we are saying here applies especially to young people because they are idealistic, are in the prime of their health and vigor and are easily challenged. But we do not exclude older people. After all, there are almost the same number or more of older people to whom the real Christ has not been given. It is possible that there are more older people who are not spiritually developed as the young people.
If the activities we cited above gave the real Christ to these people, we would not have so many baptized convicted criminals crowding our prison cells, especially in developing countries, like the Philippines. The fact of the matter is that our church leaders and we church followers are not giving the real Christ to others. Instead we are giving them what we think is the Christ. The people whom we baptized have not really been given genuine spiritual development.
There is a world of difference between the real Christ and the Christ that we think he is. It is like the difference between the real genuine bill of exchange, let's say a dollar, and what we think is real money but is fake and useless as a means of exchange. The first we can make use of, the other can deceive us.
So, let us go back to the meaning of our title: How do we give the real Christ to young people?
In the first place we are faced with a serious difficultly, in fact an impossibility. This is because no one can give the real Christ except Christ himself. No other person can. A comparison may help to make this clear.
Giving Christ is not like giving something to people. It is not like giving candies to children. Christ is not a thing but a person and none can give the person except the person himself.
When I gave my self to my wife it was I who gave my self to her. This is because my self is a person. I did not just five her a ring or any other token of my love. Some one else can give her a ring or another other token, but nobody can give her myself except myself.
If what was given to my wife was only an idea about me, others can do that. My parents, brothers and sisters, my relatives and friends can give ideas about me to my wife, but they can never give my person. Only I can give that, my self, my person.
In the same way, pastors, priests, Bible women, catechists, all other kinds of churched ministers and church leaders can give all sorts of ideas about Christ to our young people, but they can never give them the person of Christ. That is for Christ himself to give and none other.
Now you may object: How can Christ do this since he lived a long time ago and has already left our planet earth? Yes, he has left physically but he has sent his Spirit to live and work among us and this Spirit is forming Christ again in the lives of people.
The truth is that Christ has already given himself to us through his death and resurrection. And after he left us physically he sent his Spirit to give his Spirit to us.
So the first step for us if we are going to give the real Christ to young peoples is to allow the Sprit of Christ to give Christ to these young people. Only the spirit of Christ can do this because Christ is a person.
And we allow Christ's Spirit to give the real Christ to these young people if we give ourselves to this Spirit to be formed into Christ. To the extent that Christ is formed in us, to that degree do we give Christ to the young people. We cannot give what we do not have and we cannot give Christ to the young if we do not have Christ in our person, not just in our thoughts, words and actions but in our very own person, in the core and totality of our being. We cannot give the real Christ to others if we ourselves, as it were, have not become real Christ ourselves through the transforming power of Christ's Spirit.

Award winning investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas will be attending the funeral of his late mother, Hajia Mariama Damba Anas, today March 18.
Reports however suggests that the ace investigative reporter might be facing severe public attention as people would want to see his real face.
But Myjoyonline.com reports that they are reliably informed Anas will be available for the funeral scheduled Sunday, March 18, 2018, without his trademark mask.

According to reports, Anas has about distinct 100 prosthetics.

Giveaway: What are you thankful for?
It is a tradition that I imagine many families have at Thanksgiving dinner – everyone says one or two things in their life they are thankful for. We'd like to re-produce that experience here….with our Belle Terre family. And {of course} we will tie in a giveaway!
In no purposeful order, we are thankful for…
…each other
…our dogs
…our little soap business that could
…our bees
…our land
…our family and friends
What are you thankful for? Please comment below before Sunday Nov 27th at 5pm EST and one thankful responder will receive a soap and lip balm gift set.
This is why we love our Prius
We've been attending a ton of festivals and markets lately. While we love going, it requires a bit of planning and a lot of stuff – often tables, table cloths, display pieces and (of course) all our product. I am fascinated each time by the sheer quantity of stuff we can fit into the Prius. Check out Wayne's action shots below.
The Prius – it begins.
Step 2 – Adding tables (we typically take three to each show)
Step 3 – Add soap. We searched for stackable boxes that fit well in the car and keep the soap dry in the event of rain (a lesson learned rather painfully)
Step 4 – Add More Stuff. We carry our taller items like laundry detergent in large plastic tubs. (Hmmm…something doesn't seem to belong…?)
Step 5 – Add bags, boxes, and liquid soap
Step 6 – Add display pieces and carts. After our first or second festival it became clear that I would not be carrying product in and out of venues unless I wanted to develop a bad back rather quickly. After some trial and error, I was lucky enough to find the perfect cart at Sams. It's red, has huge Tonka-inspired wheels, and holds quite a bit. It even folds up somewhat flat to fit in the car.
Step 7 – Add the leftovers and try to shut the door. We add all the small things at the end including our galvanized trays for display, and whatever items we need for the trip.
All that, and we still get 47 mpg. This, my friends, is why we love our Prius. 🙂
Re-thinking the Plan
So, I recently had a bit of a panic. This is not new in my life (it happens at least several times a week) but this one was pretty major. An explanation:
Since we announced our plan for the house online, we'd had friends and family act totally amazed. We kept hearing "there's no way you can live in 500 sqft!" (Never mind that people are doing it in cities all over the world). When I would argue back, the discussion would eventually return itself to the business. Basically the general consensus is that we may be able to live in 500 sqft, but we can't live and run a business in that sized space. Continue reading
Etsy-versary: Oh the Places We've Been
Our first non-family member Etsy sale took place on October 30th, 2010. I remember how exciting it was – a stranger wanted to buy our products!
Over the last year we've sold just over 700 items. It's not quite a quit your day job worthy number, but it's impressive all the same (at least to us). Throughout that time, I've been routinely fascinated by the power of Etsy. The site is incredibly far-reaching. As an Etsy seller, that means that our customer base is huge, basically world-wide. That also means that competition is greatly increased, but I think the trade-off is definitely worth it.
I was curious as to just how far and how many places our products have been, so I created a google map to find out. (You must click to appreciate it….really).
Pretty impressive, huh? We've sold to many places we've been (Cary, NC), many places I'd like to see (Hawaii anyone?) and even one or two that I had never heard of (Twead Heads?).
For those who argue that our green living philosophy doesn't allow for international shipping: we made the decision early on that Belle Terre was to be a sustainable business. Sustainable means many things, but one part of that focus for us is the reality that the business needs to sustain itself by making a modest profit. Cutting off a large customer base was just not an option. So, we're shipping goods. All over the world. Literally.
I hope to be able to add to this map after another year of business on Etsy to see just how far we can go.
As always, many many thanks to our wonderful customers (both on and offline) who made this first year of business so amazing for us. With your support, we are building the business we dreamed about and we are forever grateful.
PS: After all the time spent adding cities, I found out that Google limits the number of pins on a map. Ooops. So sorry to our friends in the Ukraine who didn't quite make it and anyone else we may have unknowingly missed.
For the Dogs
It seemed so crazy that we have four dogs (yep, four!), and yet we were still buying shampoo for them from the store. We make soap. Almost daily. Makes no sense, right? So, not too long ago we decided to give dog soap a go. The result has been quite fun. We have created two bars so far: a Doggie Fresh bar with a refreshing blend of clove, lemon, and peppermint and a Don't Bug Me bar that includes a blend of lemon, citronella, and rosemary. Yum.

(Not So) Local Eats: The Atlanta Underground Market
A few weeks ago we visited Atlanta with my parents so my dad could dive with the sharks at the aquarium. It was his birthday wish and we were more than happy to oblige.
Before leaving I happened to get an email that the Atlanta Underground Market was the same weekend. What luck! I had attended once before, but Wayne had never been, so I signed him up and we were on our way. Continue reading

KINGSTON – A man was stunned in court Friday after his live-in lover, who he accused of running away with two barrels of clothing, confessed that she had been living with her boyfriend in another parish.
The woman, Elaine Forrester, was recently taken into custody and charged with simple larceny following allegations that she ran away after stealing two barrels of clothing valued at a little over $100,000 from the complainant's home which they shared in Kingston.
But when Forrester appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court, she denied the charge, claiming that she had abandoned the home – which she owns – because the complainant was demanding too much sex from her.
She also told the court that the complainant had taken away personal documents belonging to her and her children.
Fraser was then contemplating offering Forrester bail, but was informed by the liaison officer that she had given another address in Trelawny, but had refused to give the exact location.
The magistrate then asked Forrester who she was living with in Trelawny, and she confessed that she was living with her boyfriend.
The complainant, on hearing that confession, laughed at first, but when asked by the prosecutor if had known about the relationship, sat down and started rocking from side to side, pain etched on his face.
In the end Forrester was remanded into custody and the matter rescheduled to be heard today.
The magistrate also instructed a police officer to get the exact address from the accused and have it confirmed.
The complainant was also told to hand over Forrester's and the children's documents to the police station where he had reported the matter. (Jamaica Observer)

*The Following Oregon and Yamhill County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by notaries in Oregon.
A special warranty deed can be used to convey title to real property in Oregon. A statutory form for this real estate deed is provided in ORS 93.855. A deed that is substantially in the form prescribed by statute will have the same effect as a warranty deed in Oregon, except that the covenant of freedom from encumbrances is limited to those encumbrances done or suffered by the grantor. Additionally, the covenant of warranty is limited to read "That the grantor warrants and will defend the title to the property against all persons who may lawfully claim the same by, through, or under the grantor." If the grantor in a special warranty deed wants to exclude any encumbrances or other interests from the scope of the covenants, such exclusions must be expressly set forth in the deed (93.855). The statutory form for a special warranty deed is not mandatory. Other forms are permissive and may be used for a conveyance of real property.
Before a special warranty deed can be considered for recordation by a county clerk, it is required to be signed by the grantor and acknowledged before any judge of the Supreme Court, circuit judge, county judge, justice of the peace, or notary public within the state of Oregon. No seal of the grantor, corporate or otherwise, is required to be on the deed (93.410). A county recorder will not accept an instrument for recording if it does not contain the original signatures of the person executing the deed and the original signature of the officer before whom the acknowledgment was made (93.804). A mandatory statement, provided in the Oregon Revised Statutes 93.040, is required to be included in a special warranty deed.
An unrecorded special warranty deed will be valid between the parties to the deed, but will not provide notice to third parties. In order to provide constructive notice of the contents, a special warranty deed should be recorded in the office of the county clerk in the county where the property is located. A special warranty deed that has not been recorded as provided by law is void as against a subsequent purchaser in good faith and for a valuable consideration of the same real property, or portion thereof, whose conveyance is first filed for record, and as against the heirs and assigns of such subsequent purchaser (93.640).
Get your Yamhill County Special Warranty Deed form done right the first time with Deeds.com Uniform Conveyancing Blanks. At Deeds.com, we understand that your time and money are valuable resources, and we don't want you to face a penalty fee or rejection imposed by a county recorder for submitting nonstandard documents.

The documents you receive here will meet, or exceed, the Yamhill County recording requirements for formatting. If there's an issue caused by our formatting, we'll make it right and refund your payment.

WTS offers executive leaders an opportunity to grow their business while supporting the industry. Learn More »
A joint initiative with the Dept. of Transportation. Learn More »
This year's training was held in San Antonio, Texas, from Thursday, November 7, through Saturday, November 9. The local host, the WTS San Antonio Chapter, provided an opening reception at Casa Rio, on the San Antonio River Walk on Thursday evening. The reception featured 11-year old celebrity mariachi singer, Sebastien De La Cruz, or "El Charro De Oro". You may know him from his performances on "America's Got Talent"!
The next two full days of the training were dedicated to announcing the newest benefits for the WTS membership, sharing best practices among the Chapters, and networking with other transportation leaders from across the United States.
The message most heard at the Chapter Leadership Training was, "Are our choices for events promoting our mission of attracting, retaining, and advancing women in the transportation industry?" Dana Hook, PE, Chair of the WTS International Board of Directors and Vice President and Strategy Leader at CDM Smith, asked why we are not 30,000 members strong. She reminded the attendees that "Chapters must promote the WHY". Why is WTS the premier transportation organization? The answer is this: we are transforming transportation through the advancement of women. As an organization, we are confident that an industry that is diverse, and inclusive of women, promotes communication, creativity, efficiency, innovation, transparency, and community.
To attend the annual Chapter Leadership Training, get involved in your local Chapter by joining its leadership, either through becoming chair of a committee or a member of the Chapter board. The WTS-Boston Chapter evaluates applications for its leaders to attend this training based on need. If you are one of our leaders and your firm or agency will not (or cannot) cover the cost of transportation, lodging, or expenses, then you can apply to the WTS-Boston Board for support and/or sponsorship. Every chapter leader is eligible and is encouraged to attend.
One of the best benefits of attending the Laadership Training is getting to know other WTS-Members. Communications Committee Co-Chair Eliza Partington and Board Member At-Large Kristine Gorman took a short walk to the Alamo during a lunch break.

These lime tortilla chicken strips can go directly from freezer to oven, and are delicious served on a Nourish Bowl!
We all have those nights. The ones when you just CAN'T adult anymore. And it usually happens sometime around….Thursday.
At least that's how it goes around our house. Ambitious dinners are for Sundays, or even Mondays. By the time Thursday rolls around, it's got to be super simple.
Lucky for us, simple can also be delicious!
Today's post is sponsored by my friends at Mann's. Have you tried their Nourish Bowls? *swoon*
Mann's has FOUR delicious Nourish Bowl flavors, and for this post, I absolutely had to go with the Southwest Chipotle. It is packed with the good stuff: sweet potatoes, cauliflower, kale and kohlrabi, and a delicious slightly spicy and smoky salsa.
All you have to do is stir everything up with the salsa and some cheese, then heat it for 3 minutes in the microwave for a healthy and delicious dinner.
{They'd also make a pretty awesome work lunch!}
To go with my super convenient Nourish Bowl, I decided to make another batch of freezer-friendly chicken strips (did you see these Healthy Homemade Frozen Chicken Strips?).
These lime tortilla chicken strips can go directly from the freezer into the oven, and are ready in 20 minutes. Plus the lime, tortilla chips and chili powder are the perfect compliment to the chipotle flavors in the Nourish Bowls!
So, friends. How do you feel about Thursday nights? Are you tired of 'adulting'?
Easy dinners for the win!
Follow along with Mann's on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter.
