One of our exemplorary members at fat club lost 7 and a half pounds this week and has attributed this to eating lots of melon...... so we all charged out of there yesterday in search of this magic fruit.
I managed to bag one at the local greengrocers and had a big slice at lunchtime. There is no polite way to eat a melon and as I slurped and dribbled on it all I could think about was how well I am ( hopefully ) going to do on those blasted scales next week.
On a less fun note, Multey got up this morning feeling even more sorry for himself than yesterday. His bright pink bandage was just about intact on his ripped toenail paw but soon Freddy had ripped it off in a bid to get him to play.
He had an early appointment with Gemma our lovely vet, and he has got some more antibiotics and painkillers. He also had a new bandage put on which has been removed several times throughout the course of the day by the now famous teeth of our youngest puppy. Gemma said that Mutley is banned from walkies for at least another 3 weeks and he is not happy. It's hard keeping a one year old springer amused even with an energetic walk every day but to keep them amused when they are stuck in the house is a nightmare.
We have luckily found a solution of sorts - our friend Rebecca has 2 daughters that adore our dogs and they are very kindly Mutley sitting for a couple of hours each afternoon. My hubby drops Mutley to their house en route to feeding the horses and walking the other 2 dogs and Rebecca's kids give him lots of fuss and love. He isn't running around fields as normal but psychologically, as he leaves home as normal and comes back as normal, in his doggy head we're hoping that he thinks he hasn't been forgotten. Am not sure he'll fall for it for 3 more weeks though............

On a recent event in Dan yr Ogof (Wales Premier show cave) I was asked to take some pictures and record the event
However as I was also organizer, part event leader, rounder upper of people and general dogsbody as well I found the whole timing aspect quite a challenge
Suffice to say that I rapidly decided that setting up tripods and even using creative flash was out of the question as there were too many people doing too many other things
So I went for the click and prey approach to taking pictures and it's amazing what you can get away with in Digital
Take these for instance
These are both taken on the E-30 with the 14-54 lens and they are taken hand held, no tripod, and using the show cave lighting which was only on for a short period of time as we went through ( the caves were not open yet for the season). ISO 800 and F2.8
OK I'm not going to win any competitions with them and they are to be honest not pin sharp when you look at them full sized on a good screen, but a few years ago I would not have considered taking such pictures. Even when I stated with the e-Series my E-500 was not up to these type of pictures and I would have had to do noise reduction, but these are straight out of the camera, resized and posted.
As I say - an example of what you can get away with

This was our first play, everybody in the group was nervous, but God was faithful and allowed us to do more than our best! -Anthony MoodyThe group arrived at Calvary Chapel, located in Pennsylvania, with great expectation to be a help to the congregation, the pastor and to those that needed the message of the Gospel.
_Broadway Assembly
After much time spent in prayer, many hours of practice, working through the kinks and memorizing all the lines, the hour had finally arrived. The Mid- West team traveled to Lorain Ohio and performed the first of 17 plays. The team did a great job working through all the nervousness and put all their heart into this first performance. God came by giving us the help we needed and touched the congregation as we had hoped for. The journey has finally begun, Praise the Lord! What great expectations that we have! -Sis. Amanda Hillyer
_ Our great endeavor for playcast began, the first play being at my home church, I was excited to be home but also a bit nervous, because it was the first time we put on the play. I've had such a burden to see the Lord do mighty things through this playcast. A man came to the altar and had a lot of questions about religion. He was talking to Bro. Chris Lepelley for a very long time. The Lord was dealing with his heart. He told Sis. Amanda Hillyer that the part she acted was the story of his life. He felt so helpless without any hope. One man was touched by our play the first night. I am so thankful for the work that God is beginning to do in our playcast and I am expecting greater!

Eager to court developers and tech executives who have long seen it as a cloud also-ran, Oracle unveiled a new serverless development platform Monday afternoon alongside a package of container-related services as a cloud startup buying spree starts to pay off.
"Fn" (a play on the function key) is the fruit of Oracle's move to hire the team behind of Iron.io, said Bob Quillin, vice president of the Oracle Container Group. It's a open-source development platform that can run locally on a developer's laptop or in the cloud, and it allows developers working with serverless technologies — those writing apps based around lightweight functions that are triggered by events to quickly execute tasks — to deploy those functions in their apps.
"One of the missing pieces right now (for serverless) is a real open-source focal point," said Qullin, who also came to Oracle through a startup acquisition; StackEngine, where he was co-founder and CEO until the company was acquired in December 2015. "Developers are one of the primary voices that are driving this digital transformation, and being open and cloud neutral is almost a market requirement these days," he said.
In keeping with Oracle's running theme for Oracle OpenWorld 2017 — Amazon Web Services is really, really bad — Quillin argued that while AWS Lambda certainly did kick off the serverless development movement, it's "a closed solution" that could cause problems for developers building apps around Lambda if they later decide their needs are better served by another cloud vendor.
Oracle plans to release the open-source version of the project at the conference for developers to kick around, and it will release its own managed service for Oracle's cloud based around Fn later this year, he said. A lot of developers are excited about the flexibility and cost-savings associated with serverless development, but the lack of mature tools has been a sticking point for many who would like to give it a try.
The company is also releasing a new package of container-related services called Oracle Container Native Application Development Platform. This package consists of Oracle Container Engine, a managed Kubernetes service previewed earlier this year; Oracle Container Registry Service, which makes it easier to manage containers across different environments; and Oracle Container Pipelines, a service for continuous integration and continuous deployment that Oracle acquired along with Wrecker in April.
OCNADP (that's probably not going to stick) will be generally available later this year, with pricing still to be determined, but it will be available on a limited basis starting this week, Quillin said. More details on the afternoon's announcements can be found here.
(Editor's note: This post was updated to clarify the circumstances of the Iron.io team joining Oracle.)

Lots of new and unreleased devices show up in the databases of benchmarking apps as manufacturers frequently use these apps to gauge real world performance levels. Sometimes devices show up in benchmarking results but never see the light of day in terms of getting released to market. So we take these things with a fistful of salt, but we have to tell you as well that an unidentified ASUS tablet showed up at GFXBench, with pretty interesting specs.
The highlight of this unidentified ASUS tablet is that it features a dodeca-core processor, made by MediaTek. This does not really surprise us, coming from the makers of the deca-core Helio line of chipsets. The mysterious 12-core chipset registers as the MT8173, but that model was announced as a quad-core chipset. The other specs line up, including the impressive PowerVR Rogue GX6250 graphics chip, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.
The tablet registers a 9.6-inch QXGA (2048×1536) display, which means this tablet is pretty large by normal standards. It also might feature a 8MP/5MP camera combo, and everything running under Android 7.0 Nougat.
Is this just a glitch in GFXBench's detection, or is ASUS really planning to release a tablet device powered by a 12-core processor? We'll probably know more soon.

If you are already a lover of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, then we can pretty much guarantee that this amazing wine is going to quickly become one of your new favorites. We received our bottle from our favorite Pinot Noir Wine Club. If you are new to wines and have never tasted anything from the 2012 vintage before we are going to tell you all about why this stunning Pinot Noir could very well have you choosing this bottle time and time again. Let's take a closer look at what it has to offer.
That Sweet And Spice Core That We Love
The Thomas George Estates Pinot Noir 2012 offers that wonderful sweet and spice core that easily has us saying yes to a second glass. It's one of those cores that provides an exceptional level of spice to warm the soul and engage our emotions yet balances this with a sense of sweet reminiscence; a pleasing combination that is achieved spectacularly with this wine.
A Subtle Backbone Of Tannic
When it comes to tannic, this wine choice knows how to provide enough to stabilize the wine and create a solid backbone to each glass, yet not so much that we feel overwhelmed by it. The Thomas George Estates Pinot Noir 2012 has mastered this very well indeed. The wine benefits from adequate oak aging to provide just the right level to please the taste buds. In fact, after spending 11 months in 94% French Oak barrels, it is little wonder that this subtle tannic backbone has been achieved so impressively.
The Opening
There is something about that first aroma that hits you when you open a bottle of wine you have not tried before. If the nose is not impressive, we quickly feel a sense of disappointment, our anticipation diminishes, and already the wine choice has gone down rather significantly in our expectations.
We don't expect this to happen for you when you open a bottle of Thomas George Estates Pinot Noir 2012. For the discerning consumer, the first thing that will likely strike you is that pleasing hit of ripe, juicy cherries. If you love 90+ wines that boast tantalizing, juicy berry elements, this choice is going to be a hit with you straight away. It definitely was for us! Give yourself a moment and you will likely quickly pick up on a good hint of black licorice coming through from under the berries, as well as a punch of cola, which is a surprising, yet delightful combination.
The Palate
Nobody likes a wine that promises everything on the opening but sorely disappoints on the palate. At times it can feel like you have been promised the world, only to find out that you were bitterly lied to!
The palate of this Pinot Noir knows how to deliver, not only on what you expected from the opening but a whole lot more too.
Take the time to enjoy your first sip of this wine, and you will find the palate offers a full and pleasing flavor. Your initial thoughts may be that of a tart and spicy sensation that feels smooth and succulent.
As you continue, you will likely pick up on those rich red cherry elements, combined with juicy raspberries to make a perfect compliment. Take the time to allow the berries to settle down, and you will soon be met with a new wave that mixes in orange rind along with hints of other elements; a true delight to the tongue, the senses, and the emotions.
The Finish
So far this wine choice has delivered both on the opening and the palate, but what can we say about the finish? Is it going to close the show in style? We would like to answer that with a resounding 'YES!'. The somewhat bitter finish compliments the initial pleasing opening and the succulent palate beautifully and leaves you with a sense of having discovered, explored and conquered a wonderful treat for all of your senses.
The Botton Line
It's more than obvious that we feel this is a bottle that makes an excellent choice. If you can still find it that is! However, how you feel about this hard to find wine is all dependent on two factors.
Your personal preferences when it comes to wine certainly play the first role, and we hope that this review has aided you in understanding whether this is a bottle that fits perfectly into your taste or could be an exciting change to try.
The second factor which is rather vital to indulging in the full potential of a bottle of fine wine is that of being able to appreciate each element. We encourage you to get into the habit of exploring the opening of each bottle of wine you have, take the time to analyze the palate and consider whether the finish is as you expected. Learning to appreciate each sip of wine you take will help you to make better choices when it comes to embracing the wonderful world of wine with style, sophistication, and good sense.
If you like this bottle of wine, then be sure to check out the other wine clubs we recommend.

Stem cells put into plasters and bandages thanks to seaweed technique
Stem cells have been put into plasters and bandages to help heal wounds for the first time thanks to a new technique involving seaweed, scientists have said.
Encasing stem cells in alginate gel makes them more practical to use and easy to store, even at room temperature, Newcastle University has found.
The low-cost protective cover made from seaweed acts similarly to frogspawn, creating a barrier from the environment.
That allowed researchers to make bandages containing human stem cells which could be applied to wounds to speed up the healing process.
Che Connon, Professor of Tissue Engineering at Newcastle University, said: "The stem cells are surrounded by an alginate gel which protects them from the environment - a bit like frogspawn.
"We found them unchanged even after three days at room temperature.
"This has lots of advantages and applications.
"For example, we have used them to make a bandage which contains human stem cells which could be applied to a wound such as an ulcer or burn to speed up the healing process."
Medics have known that stem cells from fatty tissue can be used to treat wounds by reducing inflammation and speeding up closure, but until now they have had to be stored and handled carefully.
Having to keep them at 37C and in the correct combination of oxygen and carbon dioxide has limited their practical use.
The Newcastle team has produced research showing the gel can protect cells for up to three days.
Alginate is a natural material extracted from seaweed that is used in cosmetics, food manufacturing and more recently in healthcare.
It is already used in wound dressings to keep burns moist.
Researchers think the alginate may be acting like a corset, preventing the stem cell from expanding and being destroyed, a process known as lysing.
This would normally occur within a day when unprotected cells are stored in their liquid state.
Bandages with stem cells could be used by paramedics at the scene of an accident or by Army medics on the battlefield and some of the funding for the work has come from the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), part of the Ministry of Defence.
The findings are published in Stem Cells Translational Medicine.

Cleverley has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford
Tom Cleverley's fight to keep his place in the Manchester United midfield began on Saturday when he was named a substitute for the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. Anderson, who took Cleverley's usual starting berth alongside Michael Carrick, offers no serious competition. But when the Brazilian's number was held up on 62 minutes Cleverley had to watch as United's new £27.5m acquisition, Marouane Fellaini, ambled on as the replacement. For Cleverley, also dropped by Roy Hodgson for England's recent World Cup qualifiers, the sight of the Belgian lining up ahead of him in David Moyes' strongest XI is one he may have to get used to. Unless, that is, Cleverley, now 24, can begin to convince his manager he can take hold of games for United. Jamie Jackson
Jol must balance his beauty
If Fulham were ugly, Martin Jol might get a little less flak. Instead they are nearly beautiful, which is surely a most frustrating state of play. Dimitar Berbatov, Bryan Ruiz, Alexander Kacaniklic, Pajtim Dejagah, Ashgan Dejagah, Adel Taarabt ... so many players who tease fans with glimpses of perfection and appal them with lapses into incoherence. The clutch of fans who chanted "Jol Out" at the end of Saturday's draw with West Bromwich Albion clearly believe the manager should have developed a system by now that wrings consistency and dynamism from his charges. The ones who did not may believe that will come – and when it does, Fulham will be a joy to behold. Paul Doyle
Barry and Osman instrumental in stalling Chelsea's chase
Poor finishing and a lack of physicality up front appeared to be Chelsea's main problems in defeat at Goodison Park. Roberto Martínez, however, identified a different problem for the London side, albeit a nicer problem to have: their inexperience in chasing a game after Steven Naismith's header put Everton ahead on the stroke of half-time. The Everton manager said: "Their quality behind that front man is as good as it gets and an incredible strength. They are very good at what they do but clearly they are a team that needs to keep a clean sheet to impose themselves. They had to push and that is not something they are used to doing. They don't chase score-lines very often so that worked in our favour, but it is easy to say it, very difficult to do it. I thought Gareth Barry and Leon Osman were magnificent in controlling that." Martínez was right on his midfield shield, who were able to train together for 10 days before the game having been overlooked for England's World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine. Their rapport was immediate, a reflection of two intelligent players. Ahead of them, however, John Terry and David Luiz gave the distinct impression they have yet to be introduced. Andy Hunter
Rodwell fails to take his chance
On a day when Gareth Barry excelled on his debut for Everton it felt rather poignant that Jack Rodwell should deliver a practically anonymous performance for Manchester City in their goalless draw with Stoke. The two players have indirectly swapped clubs and, as things stand, it appears Everton have got the better deal. Such a claim would have raised eyebrows six years ago when Rodwell became the youngest player in the Merseyside club's history to feature in a Europe fixture when, aged 16 years and 284 days, he came on as a substitute against AZ Alkmaar. Soon David Moyes was hailing him as the next Rio Ferdinand and the future seemed bright for a player blessed with athleticism and technique. But Rodwell's career had stalled and even gone backwards since his £12m move to City in August 2012 – in part, it has to be said, due to injury – and if Saturday represented his chance to get things back on track, then the 22-year-old did not seize the moment. Fernandinho is likely to replace him for Tuesday's Champions League visit to Viktoria Plzen and the feeling grows that, if Rodwell is ever to fulfil his potential, he will first have to leave Manchester. Sachin Nakrani
The dying art of tradition
The latest protest against the plan of Hull City AFC's owner, Assem Allam, to change the club's name to Hull Tigers took place before the game against Cardiff City on Saturday but, while clearly heartfelt, cannot be said to have attracted huge support. The sight of many Cardiff fans wearing the club's new red strip – despite the fact the 'Bluebirds' were playing in blue – was similarly depressing. The modern supporter, it seems, really does care more about which division the club is playing in, or the size of the transfer fund made available to the manager, than about tradition. Richard Rae
Aston Villa lacking goals and guile in midfield
These are early days and it should not be overlooked that Aston Villa played Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool in their first three matches but it was still alarming to see Paul Lambert's side put on such a poor performance in Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle United. Short of ideas going forward and fragile at the back, Villa were booed off. Take Christian Benteke out of the team and it is hard to imagine where the goals will come from. Certainly not midfield. Karim El Ahmadi, Fabian Delph and Ashley Westwood – the midfield three on Saturday – have played a combined 112 Premier League games. They have one goal (El Ahmadi) between them and seven assists (all Westwood). It would not be so bad if their presence gave Villa a more solid look defensively but the Midlands club have failed to keep a clean sheet in 26 league matches. The defence must take a large share of the blame for that record – the full-backs Matthew Lowton and Antonio Luna will not want to review footage of Newcastle's goals while there is always an air of vulnerability about central defence whatever pairing Lambert picks. At the same time it is hard to see how El Ahmadi, Delph and Westwood work as a midfield trio. El Ahmadi is the obvious fall guy. The replacement – a midfielder who is capable of breaking into the penalty area and has an eye for a killer pass – is harder to spot in the Villa squad. Stuart James
Sunderland fans should keep the faith
One point from four games is a poor return for a Sunderland side approaching a formidable run of home fixtures and right now Paolo Di Canio's revolution looks fragile. It would be easy to hype next weekend's trip to West Brom as win or bust. But gelling 14 new summer signings and re-programming the club's entire mindset was never going to be easy; revolutions are rarely painless. Moreover Saturday's second half against Arsenal saw a newly attack-minded Sunderland play some of their best quality football in a very long time. Significantly they drew praise from Arsène Wenger – a manager always somewhat keen on highlighting the Wearsiders' limitations in recent seasons under Martin O'Neill and Steve Bruce. Di Canio's strategy is courageous and he is clever enough to make it work. Sunderland fans should keep the faith. For the moment the manager and his players need time, patience and a psychologically important win at The Hawthorns. Louise Taylor
Lamela showed a professionalism above and beyond the call of duty
Erik Lamela featured for eight minutes in Tottenham's 2-0 victory over Norwich on what was his home debut for the London club but it was remarkable the Argentina winger played at all given he went into the game having heard that his younger brother Axel had been kidnapped by armed carjackers in Buenos Aires. Fortunately the 18-year-old has been released without harm after a ransom of 5,000 pesos (£550) was paid to the criminals but that Lamela was able to commit to Spurs at all, given the circumstances, suggests the club's £30m summer signing is in possession of mental toughness as well as high-level technique. Sachin Nakrani
Osvaldo or Lambert?
Mauricio Pochettino might have been being economical with the truth when he said he was happy with Rickie Lambert's partnership with Dani Osvaldo. In truth the pair rarely seemed to be in sync with each other during the goalless draw with West Ham. It is true that both strikers could have scored with a bit more finesse and luck. Yet ultimately James Collins and Winston Reid were mostly unflustered in West Ham's defence. The problem for Pochettino is finding a way to accommodate the fans' favourite, Lambert, and the club's record signing, Osvaldo, while ensuring that Southampton's attack does not lose its balance. Pochettino might have to accept there is not room for both. Jacob Steinberg
Chelsea signings may yet prove detrimental to their fluidity
There was a sense last season that Chelsea were over-reliant on the talents of Juan Mata, Eden Hazard and Oscar to sparkle, deviously sneaking through gaps and picking locks as a conniving trio in their 4-2-3-1 system. Indeed, all three played more than 60 matches in the last campaign, developing an inevitable cohesion in the process. The club have made strides over the summer to alleviate this heavy workload with the signings of André Schürrle and Willian, as well as the return of Kevin De Bruyne from Werder Bremen on loan, but now José Mourinho has a new problem – getting the best from such similar attacking styles. Schürrle shone for Bayer Leverkusen cutting in from the left on to his right foot but Eden Hazard played this role against Everton, as he did in the previous three games, forcing the German to play unnaturally as a more orthodox right winger and blunting his effectiveness in the process. Willian is of much the same ilk, leaving Mourinho with three applicants and only one post. To compound the issue, Mata, Oscar and De Bruyne all prefer to operate in the middle. With no naturally right-sided player, Mourinho faces the bizarre situation of regularly playing someone in an unfamiliar role this season, despite the array of talent at his disposal. It appears unlikely the Premier League will see the Bundesliga-best of Schürrle any time soon and begs the question of whether Willian is a necessity or an unnecessary luxury. Lawrence Ostlere

Stepfather used pool cue to abuse six-year-old girl
A CUNNING and opportunistic child sex offender used a pool cue to abuse his six-year-old stepdaughter.
The Kilcoy man, who cannot be named to protect the victim, will spend at least 12 months in jail after pleading guilty on Monday to one count of maintaining an unlawful relationship with a child and eight of indecent treatment of a child.
The labourer wept and shook as Brisbane District Court Judge Richard Jones recounted how the 36-year-old subjected his stepdaughter to 13 months of abuse.
The attacks included assaulting her with a pool cue, exposing himself and touching the youngster inappropriately.
He preyed on the girl while her mother was away from home with two of the assaults happening while they were watching movies and one on a fishing trip.
The offending came to light after the man and the girl's mother ended their relationship.
The little girl told her mother about the abuse and the offender was questioned by police in March, 2018.
Judge Jones said the victim now suffers nightmares, cries randomly, can no longer sleep alone and is easily scared.
"I have no doubt that what you did had a debilitating impact on the young girl," Judge Jones said.
"The offending was a gross breach of trust."
Describing the attacks as "cunning" and "opportunistic", Judge Jones said the man's actions meant he was no longer allowed to spend time with his own children and that he had lost his job.
The man was sentenced to three years in jail on the nine charges and will be eligible to apply for parole in March, 2020. - NewsRegional

Who knew there were healthy pickles and unhealthy pickles! I didn't until we discovered Wild Fermentation, a way to make pickles just like your grandmother…..well…..your great-grandmother……no, maybe your great-great-grandmother! Somewhere back in your genealogy, whichever grandmother it was who made pickles from a salt and water brine, not using vinegar or "processing" them using modern-day canning techniques, is the grandmother you want to copy. All others bought into the lies of the modern age which turned perfectly nutritious food into dead matter, unfit for human or animal consumption.
Canning kills enzymes, heat liable vitamins and other nutrition, but pickling by fermentation creates a nutrient rich solution that not only offers a wide range of vitamins and minerals, but also serves as a natural pro-biotic, aiding in digestion.
The key to this type of pickling is lacto-fermentation, described in simple terms by Sandor Katz, author of Wild Fermentation as, "Microscopic organisms – our ancestors and allies – transform food and extend its usefulness. Fermentation is found throughout human cultures. Hundreds of medical and scientific studies confirm what folklore has always known: Fermented foods help people stay healthy."
My maternal great-grandmother fermented cabbage, making sauerkraut, and now I do, too! I also ferment beets, kohlrabi, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, parsnips and cabbage (sauerkraut), as well as kimchi.
The first fermented vegetable I experimented with were pickles. They couldn't be any easier, especially with the Pickl-It! They're a hit with the children, a great "First Ferment" to get their taste buds going in the healthy-food direction.

Contagious infectious disease outbreak "biggest since 1996"
The U.S. has seen more cases of measles in the first four months of this year than it has experienced in nearly two decades.
Experts at the centers for disease control and prevention say 129 measles cases had been reported through April 18th.
Since then there's been another suspected outbreak in an Amish community in Ohio.
Measles is one of the most contagious infectious diseases known — and it has not been eradicated in other parts of the world.
34 infected travelers have brought measles to the U.S. this year — which has triggered the rest of the cases among people who did not get the vaccine or who didn't know their vaccine status.
Health officials say most doctors have never seen a case of measles which can increase the number of patients exposed to the virus before it is diagnosed.
Symptoms include high fever and rash that starts at the head and spreads to the rest of the body.

That daughter of mine, she is such a trend setter. I can remember when she was in middle school and high school she would do these things that would have everyone else wanting to do the same. One thing that comes to mind was when she would wear a colorful shoe lace on her pony tail.
Her resent trends now at the age of 19 have been to put her cell phone in a ziplock bag so she can continue to text message while she is in the shower. So, now her friends are doing it now. And she took a piece of my white polka dot black ribbon and tied it to her cell phone with a soda can top from a monster can, it's black with a white "m" on it, it's so cute her friends want to know where she got it.
I guess it's here creative side. I love her so much!!!

immigrantion and Customs Enforcement agents recently arrested 112 immigrants in Southern California. These arrests came as part of a four-day sweep, arranged to round up ex-convicts to be put through deportation and removal proceedings. Many of these individuals have already been released from jail, but some are being held to go before immigrantion judges.
Illegal reentry charges after deportation and removal proceedings
If an immigrant in California or elsewhere is found to have re-entered the United States illegally after being deported, he or she may face a number of serious consequences. There are those who are denied the ability to remain in the country at their deportation and removal proceedings, though, who do choose to re-enter for various reasons. Regardless, these individuals do have the right to representation as they defend their actions.
Representation for detainees is available
Thousands of immigrants continue to cross the border into the United States or even choose to stay well beyond when their visas expire. These individuals are often detained in detention centers in California or elsewhere until their cases can be heard by immigrantion judges. Few may realize, though, that representation for detainees from an experienced immigrantion attorney is available to assist them with their cases.
Deportation and removal proceedings: Delaying removal
For immigrants in California and elsewhere, the thought of deportation often weighs heavily on their minds. When a removal is ordered, it is not uncommon to question what options one might have to fight the order. While many believe it is not possible to fight a negative deportation and removal proceedings outcome, the truth is it may actually be possible to delay a removal order.
California representation for detainees: Immigrants can seek help
There are numerous immigrants who are being held in detention centers in California and other locations across the county. Some of these individuals are held for years at a time as they try to sort out their immigrantion cases. Unfortunately, many of them feel helpless in their causes, as their cases sometimes drag on with little progress. Those in such situations do need to know that representation for detainees is available.
What are 212(h) waivers and who can get them?
Having a criminal record can have an extremely negative affect on one's ability to obtain a visa. Immigrants who have been convicted or accused of crimes of moral turpitude, drug involvement and various other offenses are likely to have visa applications denied and may even be deported. For those seeking to enter California or avoid deportation and who find themselves such situations, 212\(h\) waivers may be the answer to getting visa applications approved.
Felony conviction can affect deportation and removal proceedings
Criminal convictions can greatly affect an immigrant's ability to remain in the country. While not all convictions will result in deportation, those immigrants in California with felony convictions are more likely to face deportation and removal proceedings. While a person's back story and the details of the crime do matter, having a criminal record certainly can have an affect on the outcome of these proceedings.
Drug crimes and deportation and removal proceedings
The Governor of California recently signed into law a bill that would help immigrants avoid deportation for low-level drug offenses. Unfortunately, another bill along that same line was vetoed and could result in numerous immigrants facing deportation and removal proceedings. Thankfully, these individuals are entitled to legal representation and have the ability to fight for the right to remain in the country.
Hundreds to face deportation and removal proceedings
A massive operation recently conducted by the U.S. immigrantion and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency resulted in hundreds of arrests in California. It has been reported that over 200 immigrants were detained by ICE agents at the end of August in the southern portion of the state. Some of these individuals are to be criminally prosecuted, while others will be sent to deportation and removal proceedings.
Deportation and removal proceedings possible for California woman
A California resident is facing deportation and removal proceedings after police responded to complaints about her barking dogs. The woman claims she returned home with her children after grocery shopping and found the police waiting for her. She stated they scolded her about her English skills and when they asked her to show identification, they manhandled her. The police claim the woman became upset and kicked one of the officers, a claim she denies. Any immigrant facing criminal charges may be subjected to deportation and removal proceedings, so it may be in their best interests to request legal assistance as soon as possible.

A New York City judge this week sided with an Uber driver whose taxi license was suspended after he kicked a lesbian couple out of his car.
The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) suspended Ahmad El Boutari's license last month after a lesbian couple accused him of discrimination.
He reportedly told the women to leave his car after they kissed.
The women, Alex Iovine and Emma Pichl, described the kiss as a "peck," but El Boutari claims that the couple went further and "were about to have sex in the car."
Judge Joycelyn McGeachy-Kuls wrote in her Monday decision that TLC did not provide sufficient evidence that El Boutari discriminated against the passengers on the basis of sexual orientation, and recommended that his license be reinstated.
"Respondent credibly testified that he asked the complainants to get out of his car because their conduct violated Uber's policy prohibiting sexual contact between passengers," she wrote.
The case went before the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings after TLC suspended El Boutari's license.
The incident went viral after Iovine posted a video of the confrontation online, in which the couple can be seen arguing with El Boutari.
McGeachy-Kuls wrote in her decision that it "seems unlikely" that El Boutari would have asked the women to leave his car over a "peck kiss" because it would have resulted in him giving up the fare and risking a bad Uber rating from the passengers. She also said that the couple gave conflicting testimony to Uber, TLC and at the OATH hearing, according to the New York Post.
An Uber spokesperson told NBC News that the company has removed El Boutari's access to the Uber app, and that the company has been in touch with Iovine and Pichl about the incident.

Participants will be selected by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County and the DeVos Institute of Arts Management based on a compelling statement of interest, readiness for the program, and level of commitment to the program, amongst other criteria. Additional program information and eligibility criteria can be downloaded HERE. The program is offered free of charge to successful applicants, underwritten by a generous gift from Donald M. Ephraim and Maxine Marks for the Donald M. Ephraim Family Foundation, and Suzanne L. Niedland. Online Information Session To learn more about the program, applicants are invited to join an online Information Session presented by Brett Egan, Institute President, on Monday, June 4, from 9:30–10:30 am EDT.

Questions may be sent to Tanya Surtees at firstname.lastname@example.com. To benefit fully from the discussion, we encourage participants to familiarize themselves with the application and program materials prior to attending the Information Session. Application Details Applications for the Palm Beach County Arts Accelerator are due Tuesday, July 10 at 5:30pm EDT. Applications should be submitted electronically by following THIS LINK.

There are many strategies for getting the best deals at garage sales. Sometimes if you can't be the FIRST person there when the garage door opens, it is best to be the LAST person!
Not everyone is looking for the same things. You never know what you are going to find at the end of the sale, and it is often going to be cheaper than it was at the beginning of the weekend!
Items will be half-price, bag sales happen, and the free box overflows in the final hours of the average garage sale. Don't be shy about dickering. Build a pile of stuff and make an offer. If you are crafting or gathering objects for charity, ask if they would be willing to donate.
Sometimes they have already started to throw stuff out or pack up by the time you arrive. As a courtesy, I always ask if I can junk pick if good stuff is on the curb while the people are still present packing up. I also always ask permission to shop if I arrive when people are in the process of closing their sale. If they don't want me there, I politely withdraw. Don't take it for granted that you have a right to rummage!
Many people hit the end of a sale and just want everything gone. Others will scrape up every scrap of junk that should have gone to the landfill and pack it up for next year's sale! When I have a sale, I'm firmly in the "I just want it gone" camp. I don't bring anything out of the house that I want to bring back in at Noon Saturday.
I used to have group garage sales regularly, involving someone who was breaking up housekeeping for one reason or another–fantabulous stuff priced to go. We were just about to pack up one of these sales when a fifteen-passenger van pulled up. A woman and a man got out and wandered around. The woman bought some Gourmet magazines and then the man came back and asked if he could make an offer for everything I had left! I just looked at him dumbstruck, then glanced over at my sister and said, "Take it all for FREE. I just want it all gone! Here, we'll help you pack it up!"
It definitely was a missed opportunity for a little more profit (by that time, it was all my stuff), but I loved the looks on their faces. I figure that everyone should have a little unmerited favor in their lives. I sure have enjoyed more than my fair share of it. Begonia

I already mentioned in a previous article that, although my low-carb diet works wonders, I had quite a bad time at the beginning of June. Fortunately it only lasted a few days. Unfortunately, I had the most unpleasant surprise to see symptoms come back at the beginning of September. What is happening here? Well, it seems to be a well-known issue with diets that lower carb consumption: Every three-months, the symptoms tend to come back.
This is quite an interesting phenomenon. Judging by the number of articles on the web mentioning this 3 month flare, this is a very common problem for people under the specific carbohydrate diet. Elaine Gottshall even mentions it in her book breaking the vicious cycle, which introduced the diet.
If we think about it, the SCD limits carbohydrate consumption. A low-carb diet or a paleo diet will do the same. So if this happens to SCD followers, most probably the other diets are concerned as well.
Where does this come from? There is not a lot of research on treating IBS with diets, so no one knows exactly. If we believe that IBS is triggered by bacteria, a theory would be that this problem is somehow linked to the bacteria lifecycle. As bacteria die, they release toxins, and this is known to trigger some symptoms. So maybe there is a major bacteria die-off every three months. This is highly hypothetical, I don't have anything to support this theory.
Something that I also noticed is that after such an episode, I actually feel better than before. For example, in july I felt so good I began eating more of my trigger foods. And it went pretty well, to some extent. But before that, I don't think I could have handled it. Now that the 9 months flare (from september) is gone, I notice that I do not need to go to the toilet as much as before. I cannot really remember having a flare after 3 months (that would be beginning of March). So this does not happen every time, and it is pretty mild compared to what I used to endure.
As a side note, I keep on low-carbing, and I saw that, although I'm perfectly fine in everyday life, if I go under a quite stressful situation, some symptoms may come back, although not so bad as before. So I think that I still need to diet. Another interesting phenomenon is that lots of thin people, like me, report gaining weight under the SCD after a few months under it. Well I got my weight back to where I was before starting the diet, so I cannot complain, but there was no major gain until now. Probably another proof that I need to go on.
If you are under such a diet, and were victim of the 3 months-flare, I'd love to hear about it, so please leave a note!

The Inflation Process
Steve Saville
Below is an excerpt from a commentary originally posted at www.speculative-investor.com on 30th August 2009.
In our 5th August commentary we explained that the central bank couldn't simply withdraw monetary stimulus in order to avoid an inflation problem, because injecting new money doesn't just alter the general price level; it also changes the STRUCTURE of the economy. In the world of economics there are few things of greater importance than the concept of how monetary inflation really works, and yet hardly anyone understands it. Of special relevance, the current Fed chairman appears to have absolutely no idea how monetary inflation affects the economy. We'll therefore take another shot at explaining it; this time, for the sake of clarity and brevity, in point form.

Programs in computer technology are offered at many colleges and universities as a part of bachelor's and grasp's diploma packages in pc expertise, info administration and laptop science.

Phyllis Curtin, an American soprano celebrated as a champion of new music, died on Sunday at her home in Great Barrington, Mass. She was 94.
Her death was confirmed by the Finnerty & Stevens Funeral Home in Great Barrington.
A mainstay of the New York City Opera in the 1950s and '60s, Ms. Curtin was noted for the purity of her voice, the sensitivity of her musical phrasing and the crystalline perfection of her diction. On the opera stage and in recital, she gave the premieres of dozens of works by 20th-century composers — "more first, and last, performances than any singer in history," as she was fond of saying, ruefully.
But she sang many works with staying power, including music by Benjamin Britten, Ned Rorem and the American composer Carlisle Floyd, for whom she created the title role in "Susannah," his most famous opera, in a performance at Florida State University in Tallahassee in 1955.
In the standard repertoire, Ms. Curtin was widely praised for her Mozart — she sang all of his major heroines over time — and for the title role in Richard Strauss's "Salome."
Her other notable roles included Violetta in "La Traviata" and Alice Ford in "Falstaff," both by Verdi; Ellen Orford in Britten's "Peter Grimes"; the title role in Darius Milhaud's "Médée"; and Cathy in Mr. Floyd's "Wuthering Heights," a part she created at the Santa Fe Opera in 1958.
Ms. Curtin also sang at the Metropolitan Opera, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Vienna State Opera, Covent Garden and La Scala. She appeared in concert with the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra and other major ensembles.
In later years she taught voice at Yale and Boston Universities and at Tanglewood, where she held a sought-after master class each summer for more than half a century.
Though Ms. Curtin's singing was esteemed by critics and opera aficionados, she remained less well known than contemporary sopranos like Beverly Sills and Joan Sutherland. She performed with the Met just 35 times in the 1960s and '70s, and recorded far less than many of her peers.
Writing in The New York Times in 1998, Anthony Tommasini described Ms. Curtin as an "estimable American soprano, who has achieved notable success and respect throughout the field but never quite the recognition she deserves."
The reasons for this seem to reflect the difficulties faced by many American opera singers of Ms. Curtin's era, when a European background was considered the sine qua non for landing contracts with major United States companies.
What was more, as Ms. Curtin told it, her career was hindered by a set of backstage machinations as Machiavellian as anything in opera.
Phyllis Jane Smith was born on Dec. 3, 1921, in Clarksburg, W.Va. Her mother was an organist and choir director at a local church; growing up, Phyllis studied violin and ballet.
At Wellesley, from which she earned a bachelor's degree in political science in 1943, the young Ms. Curtin began studying voice in earnest. Her early teachers included the soprano Olga Averino and the bass Joseph Regneas.
She envisioned herself as a recitalist — "a song-singer," she liked to say — but fell into opera early. As a student at Tanglewood in 1946, she sang a small role in the United States premiere of "Peter Grimes," under Leonard Bernstein.
Her early operatic work also included appearances with the New England Opera Theater in Boston, where she sang Lisa in Tchaikovsky's "Queen of Spades" and Lady Billows in Britten's "Albert Herring," among other roles.
Ms. Curtin gave her New York recital debut at Town Hall in 1950 in a characteristically eclectic program that featured songs by Mozart, Fauré, Ravel, Mussorgsky and several Latin American composers.
Reviewing the performance, The New York Times said: "Miss Curtin's voice is altogether lovely in quality, and is used with equal assurance throughout its entire range. But her concern was so exclusively with communication that one was conscious only of the music itself."
She made her first appearance with City Opera in 1953, singing three roles in the United States premiere of "The Trial," an adaptation of Kafka's novel by the Austrian composer Gottfried von Einem. The debut was well received, as was her subsequent work with the company, but it was not until City Opera staged "Susannah" in 1956, with Ms. Curtin again in the title role, that her reputation was truly made.
Based on the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders, the opera, set in rural Tennessee, centers on a community's condemnation of a sensual young woman and the tragic consequences that ensue. It went on to become one of the most frequently performed American operas, and Susannah became the character with which Ms. Curtin was most closely identified.
Yet operatic superstardom eluded her. She may have been hindered by her voice, which, though almost universally praised for its purity, was not as immense as large opera houses can demand. She may have been tarred, too, by her association with 20th-century music, typically a hard sell to audiences.
"Where we make our big mistake is in thinking that all opera is 'Tosca' and that everything else is something beyond the pale," Ms. Curtin said in an interview with The Times in 1961. "A new musical show on Broadway gets plenty of attention, but some sort of ridiculous barrier has been set up between the musical and the opera."
Ms. Curtin made her Met debut in 1961 as Fiordiligi in Mozart's "Così Fan Tutte." ("Now Phyllis Curtin is at the Met, where she should have been a long time ago," The New York Herald Tribune wrote.)
But after that, the company's imperious general manager, Rudolf Bing, engaged her only occasionally.
"You'll never sing Tosca here because you're not Italian," she recalled his having told her in the late '60s. (In 1973, she sang the role with the Met in performances in Staten Island, Queens and the Bronx, her last appearances with the company.)
Even more painful than her dealings with the Met was a rupture with City Opera in 1966, which Ms. Curtin called "the only heartbreaking thing in my career."
The company had been planning to stage Handel's "Julius Caesar," with the role of Cleopatra going to Ms. Curtin. Then Ms. Sills, in her 30s and a City Opera regular though not yet a huge star, demanded the role for herself. She threatened to rent Carnegie Hall and present a competing program of arias from the opera if the company did not relent.
The company relented. "That's when the knife went into my back," Ms. Curtin told The Times in 1972. "After my life at the City Opera, which had always been successful for me and the company, I simply couldn't believe that my family would do that to me."
Ms. Sills, who later said she regretted the episode, sang the role to immense acclaim. It was said to have made her career.
Ms. Curtin, who continued to perform well into her 60s despite having developed painful rheumatoid arthritis in her mid-40s, taught at Yale during the 1970s and early '80s. In 1983 she became the dean of Boston University's School for the Arts, a post she held until 1991, when she retired from the deanship but continued teaching there.
Starting in the mid-1960s, she taught for 51 years at Tanglewood, where her students included the future opera stars Dawn Upshaw, Cheryl Studer and Simon Estes.
Ms. Curtin's first marriage, to Philip D. Curtin, a historian, ended in divorce. Her second husband, Eugene Cook, a photojournalist whom she married in 1956, died in 1986. Survivors include a daughter, Claudia d'Alessandro, from her second marriage, and three grandchildren.
Her discography includes "La Chanson d'Ève," comprising Fauré's settings of poems by Paul Verlaine; Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Fritz Reiner; and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 14.
Ms. Curtin was by all accounts an undivalike diva, and though she maintained a deep regard for the music she sang, she did not appear to take the operatic life too seriously. In an interview with The Herald Tribune in 1964, for instance, she set forth her modus operandi for kindling theatrical passion:
"When I come out onstage I give the tenor a loving, seductive look," she said. "If he turns and runs … oh, well, I have to do it all myself. If he blushes and hesitates and then shapes up … well, we'll worry about it later."

Judah and Zach thoughtfully made a cake for my birthday last week. Zach claims that Judah did most of the assembling. It appears to have been a very fun time. Even in black and white. Blaster was pleased to be able to join in on the excitement as well!The end result was this:And this too:It was a wonderful cake! Zach is amazingly skilled at giving gifts as well as at making cakes. He gave me a lovely handmade pottery wine caraffe that he found here. It's beautiful and ever so useful as I have been mostly pouring my wine straight from the carboy these days…
Happy Cake

I didn't get to visit the Carmelite sisters last weekend, but managed to talk to a good friend from the Emmaus Community (a special prayer group who meet up twice a week for prayers and reflections).
'Are you sure?' she asked. 'I think you better think it over again.'
'I've been thinking for a few weeks. I just want to ask the sisters for more information.' I said.
'How do you know it's from Him?'
'I don't know. I'm looking for an answer too. It couldn't be a coincidence, right?'
'So how do you feel about it?'
'Joy and peace, it's like a dream coming true.'
'Ok,' she hesitated. 'Why not you give Catherine a call and ask her about it first?' She gave me her number. (I don't know what is Catherine's relationship with the sisters, but I know she's like their secretary, helping to take care of the sisters' matters.)
I did. I was told that the local Carmelite community does not accept students like me. They want total commitment from members to attend all the classes and meetings. I am most certainly welcomed to join them once I've graduated.
Well, a little disappoiting for me. Perhaps, God wants to prepare me before letting me join the Carmelite order. Or perhaps, I'm a little spiritually immature? Or maybe... Ahh, whatever! My whole life is in His hands, so why should I worry? As long as He let me love Him with all my heart and soul!
So, what now? What else! Concentrate on my studies, do well with flying colours (God willing), and graduate after 6 more months! And then? Hmm... I hope to go for Masters... but I think I'll let Him decide what He wants for me.
[p.s. I want to thank those of you who have been praying for me. God bless all of you!]

In a part of the world where summer theater means snappy musicals, occasional (and generally futile) experiments, famed mysteries and earnest Russian treasures on a bare stage, the Ancram Opera House leaps into tricky territory with Tony Kushner's "Homebody," a one-person performance about history, disorder and magic in beleaguered Afghanistan.

When addressing the current political climate, there may be more than a grain of truth in the old axiom, "If you don't laugh … you'll cry." Given the choice, we'd suggest laughing … and one exceptional way of doing that is to spend 90 magical minutes with The Capitol Steps, appearing through August 31 at Cranwell Spa and Golf Resort in Lenox, Mass.
Sharon Playhouse has entered a time warp with its second main production of the summer, "Barefoot in the Park." Neil Simon's smash comedy from 1963 has not aged well. Yes, the wisecracks and one-liners are still there; the dialogue that can often crackle if delivered like handballs, fast and hard; the once amusing situations long past their sell date. But in the time of #MeToo, of independent women rising everywhere like glorious spring flowers, the play recalls a time when a woman's role was defined in the pages of Good Housekeeping.
'Let the sun shine in!" The closing, haunting refrain of Berkshire Theatre Group's current production of "Hair," (running through August 11th at The Unicorn Theatre in Stockbridge, Mass.) is both celebration and lament. The explosion of energy, vibrant choreography, room-filling music and socio-political commentary that lead up to the final chorus are a celebration of what it was like to be in America 50 years ago when the play premiered … and what it is like today, as so many long to be in the "Age of Aquarius."
The wonderful songs pouring off Berkshire Theatre Group's main stage in Stockbridge, Mass., are from the world premiere of Lee Kalcheim's play, "Coming Back Like a Song." It's Christmas Eve 1956, and Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen and Jimmy Van Heusen have just returned from an ASCAP meeting for a stag get-together in Berlin's sumptuous Beekman Place duplex. (The posh sets and decorations are by Randall Parsons.)
Choices. Making them. Good ones and bad ones. That's what "Other Desert Cities" at The Sherman Playhouse is about. That and the Christmas Eve reunion of the Wyeth family in Palm Springs. The tree is huge and blanketed in white lights, there's Scotch and Lillet Rouge and ice on the bar and the sitting room is cold, blue and spare. This is Christmas in the desert.
Shakespeare & Company is presenting Shakespeare's comedy, "Love's Labors Lost" in the Dell at Edith Wharton's Lenox, Mass. estate, The Mount, until August 18. An outdoor performance, it will be subject to the foibles of New England weather (if it rains, the performances will be in the nearby stables) so planning ahead is encouraged.
The Sharon Playhouse Youth Production of "All Shook Up" opens this week, the 1950s musical packed with Elvis Presley songs and acted, sung and danced by a large cast of local and talented young people ages 13 to 19.
'Morning After Grace" is on stage at Shakespeare & Company's Elayne P. Bernstein Theatre in Lenox, MA until July 15. When this piece appears, there will be seven more performances. Going to www.shakespeare.org can provide more information and allow you to secure tickets. Please do.
