Peerless Battle Spirit - Chapter 246
Chapter 246 - The Birthday Feast
"Has the feast started?"
Qin Nan was startled, who then executed his Eyes of the divine Battle Spirit and glanced toward the sect.
Following a loud explosion, a huge palace with a length of over six thousand feet and a width of four thousand feet slowly rose from the ground and floated in mid-air, forming a large shadow beneath it. Hundreds of mystical lights shone around the palace, resulting in a magnificent scene!
With just a glimpse, Qin Nan could see a human-figure Weapon Spirit deep within the palace, controlling over a hundred complicated formations.
"This is most likely the Sect Leader's Hall, a Martial Emperor Weapon!" Qin Nan took a deep breath and continued to observe it.
As the Sect Leader's Hall rose into the air, seven-colored light beams were suddenly emitted from the main entrance of the hall, which turned into a staircase with nine hundred and ninety-nine steps that slowly landed onto the White Jade Dojo.
The White Jade Dojo had already been modified, with each side filled with tables used for the feast. Each table was made of Atavistic Celestial Rocks, while the chairs were made of Millenium Redwood. On the tables, plates of delicacies had been prepared, including Dragon Emperor Bone Soup, Raging Emperor Beef, and more, along with jars of excellent wines. There were a total four hundred tables being set up.
Besides that, at the entrance leading to the White Jade Dojo, four hundred outer disciples wearing gowns lined up on each side of the path to welcome the guests.
"These four hundred tables are most likely for the disciples. Only those with respectable identities would be seated inside the Sect Leader's Hall." Qin Nan mumbled.
At that instant, a rapid shoosh could be heard from the sky, as a middle-aged man with a pair of sharp eyebrows standing on a sixty foot long sword—whose Sword Intent took the form of a huge dragon head—approached the White Jade Dojo.
As the middle-aged man arrived at the White Jade Dojo, with a stomp, the giant sword under him turned into a red glow, which shrunk ten times in size and launched itself into the air, before landing inside the sheath hanging on the man's waist.
"I'm Zhao Fang, here with blessings for Sect Leader Ouyang Ba on behalf of the Flying Sword Sect!" The middle-aged uttered a yell which resounded through the sect
Following it, the people of the sect were startled, who all exclaimed in admiration.
The Leader of the Treasure Vault appeared from the Sect Leader's Hall and said with a blasting laugh, "Sect Leader Zhao Fang, welcome to the Mystic Spirit Sect. Please make your way to the Sect Leader's Hall to enjoy the soothing music and a few cups of excellent wine. Our Sect Leader will be here soon."
Zhao Fang nodded his head without showing any expression, before entering the Sect Leader's Hall.
"Martial Ancestor Realm expert…" Qin Nan's eyes flickered. He was able to detect Zhao Fang's cultivation to have reached the peak of the Martial Ancestor Realm with his Eyes of the divine Battle Spirit.
Meanwhile, the sound of footsteps was heard coming from the sky afar, causing cracks to appear in the air.
Following this, eight giant green bulls with four horns each, and a length of fifty feet, could be seen pulling a carriage emitting a green sparkle, giving it a magnificent appearance. A magical sound could be heard coming from the carriage.
"Are those the Four-Horned Emperor Bulls? Which Sect Leader is this, to have eight Emperor Beasts pulling his carriage…" Qin Nan took a deep breath.
The scene of eight Four-Horned Emperor Bulls pulling a carriage was a lot more shocking than Zhao Fang's entry. Anyone would be intimidated feeling the aura from these eight Emperor Beasts.
"Lin Xuan, the Sect Leader of the Qing Nu Sect sends her blessings!" A pleasant female voice was heard, causing many people from the Mystic Spirit Sect to be astonished once again.
Qin Nan frowned his eyebrows slightly. Her voice sounded quite familiar, bearing similarities to Nangong Rou's whom he had met on Autumn Mountain.
He did not overthink, but redirected his focus back to the feast.
Zhao Fang who was just about to enter the hall halted in his tracks, before he turned around and smilingly said, "I did not expect you would personally be here, what a surprise."
"Why the surprise? There are too many people here. Let's chat inside the hall."
The previously gentle voice from the glowing carriage was replaced with a calm expressionless voice.
"There's no rush for that. More of our old friends are arriving soon." Zhao Fang let out a laugh, as his eyes were filled with layers of a sword's shadow, glancing upward at the sky.
After less than twenty breaths' time, the clouds from afar turned flaming red, as if they were ignited by flames.
A red-haired old man wearing dark red armor plates could be seen coming toward them, taking one step at a time. The armor plates on his body shuddered violently with each step, emitting a clanking sound, accompanied by some sort of magic, which felt like the cries of ferocious beasts.
This person was none other than the Sect Leader of the Disordered Flames Sect, Wei Tong!
As soon as Wei Tong arrived, he said with a grin on his face, "Tsk, tsk, how honored I am, to have two Sect Leaders welcoming me!"
"I guess you've been overthinking it." The female voice from the carriage said. Following this, the eight Four-Horned Emperor Bulls advanced while uttering cries, entering the Sect Leader's Hall.
"You old monster, you drove her away as soon as you arrived." Zhao Fang shook his head and said, "You should improve your manners."
"What now, the little brat seems to be annoyed." Wei Tong rolled his eyes, no sign of the expected behavior of a Sect Leader.
Following this, the two burst out laughing before entering the Sect Leader's Hall without wasting any further time.
Meanwhile, the Mystic Spirit Sect turned incredibly lively after the three Sect Leaders had arrived.
Inside Tianfeng Mountain, Qin Nan said with a frown, "Why is Ouyang Ba yet to show himself despite the fact that the three Sect Leaders are here already?"
As soon as he revealed his doubts, a rare occurrence took place above the Mystic Spirit Sect. Endless rays of golden light shone like a huge curtain, causing the place below to be covered in a golden radiance.
The Leader of the Treasure Vault yelled, "Let us welcome the Sect Leader, may the Sect Leader live a long life!"
After her lead, the Hall Leaders and the elders of the Mystic Spirit Sect all yelled, "Welcome, Sect Leader. May the Sect Leader live a long life!"
The sound of over ten thousand people shouting at the same time almost penetrated the Heavens.
Under everyone's attention, the golden light in the sky was gradually withdrawn, as a middle-aged man appeared from it.
The middle-aged man possessed a fierce face and a pair of sharp eyes. His body was encapsulated within an imperious aura, giving him the appearance of an emperor, causing people to feel like submitting to him.
He was the Sect Leader of the Mystic Spirit Sect, Ouyang Ba!
"I shall take a look at this Ouyang Ba's cultivation!"
Qin Nan inside Tianfeng Mountain executed his Eyes of the divine Battle Spirit and glanced at Ouyang Ba.
At that instant, Qin Nan could only see a vast golden glow blinding his vision. Following this, a mysterious force was emitted from Ouyang Ba's body, as if some kind of equipment was preventing Qin Nan from peeking at his cultivation.
"Hmm?" Ouyang Ba floating in mid-air became aware of something, who glanced toward Tianfeng Mountain.
Following this, Qin Nan could sense a grave danger approaching him, causing his hair to stand on end, as his body began to shiver.
The huge Qi Dragon coiling around Qin Nan was awakened too, which uttered a dull cry and spat out an atavistic beam of light that enclosed his body.
The terrifying sense of death was then erased from Qin Nan's body.
"Holy crap... That was close…" Qin Nan's forehead was flooded with sweat. He could feel a sense of fatigue from his body. If it weren't for the help of the Qi Dragon, Ouyang Ba would definitely be aware of my presence.
"Senior, thanks a lot!" Qin Nan panted, trying to catch his breath. Not only did the Qi Dragon allow him to absorb a great amount of Qi, it also saved his life.
"Don't...mind...You...better...be...careful...of...Ouyang...Ba…" The Qi Dragon appeared to be extremely weak, and fell into a deep sleep after saying the sentence.
Qin Nan was slightly stunned.
Be careful of Ouyang Ba?
Why should I be careful of Ouyang Ba?
And what exactly was the golden blinding light?

G20 is Optimistic About the Impact of Cryptocurrency
The July meeting of G20 was majorly all about cryptocurrency. In the meeting held in March this year, the Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors agreed to come together in July and present a set of specific recommendations on what to do about cryptocurrency.
The finance ministers and central bank governors have decided in the G20 meeting that cryptocurrencies don't pose a current threat to global financial stability and it's not really their problem yet. The representatives admitted that cryptocurrency brings benefits while posing new challenges. The main benefits noted by the G20 ministers are not digital currencies per se but are with the blockchain technology itself. The main challenges are in dealing with cryptocurrency's applications in tax evasion, money laundering, and terrorist financing.
Looking at the reports, it can be safely concluded that nothing has changed for cryptocurrency because of this meeting. Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which handles the tax evasion, money laundering, and terrorist financing side of things, have been handed over the "how/whether to globally regulate cryptocurrency" question.
To clarify how it wants to deal with cryptocurrency, The FATF has a new deadline of October 2018. This might bring some interesting developments. The deadline is also for reviewing a global anti-money laundering (AML) standard on cryptocurrency.
It was reported last month that the FATF is planning to develop binding rules of AML for the world's cryptocurrency exchanges to step up its scrutiny effort over crypto money laundering.
The G20 says that it will monitor the developments in the crypto space and will study the long-term effects of crypto. It further added,
"While crypto-assets do not at this point pose a global financial stability risk, we remain vigilant. We welcome updates by the FSB and the SSBs and look forward to their future work to monitor the potential risks of crypto-assets, and to assess multilateral responses as needed. We reiterate our March commitments related to the implementation of the FATF standards and we ask the FAFT to clarity in October 2018 how its standards apply to crypto-assets."
Meanwhile, the global, bankless, volatile, and intermediary-free nature of cryptocurrency means it doesn't fit into existing FATF guidelines anywhere near as neatly as fiat currency and other asset types.

those leg things that you wear when you bike.
You know, the straps you velcro around your lower calf/ankle to stop your pants from getting into the bike gears?
Yes. Those.
I wear them. Usually just one, actually, because the gears are only on one side. But I have a pair of pants that is extra wide-legged. They look a little something like this:
With a normal pair of pants I just strap up the right leg, but with these pants the left leg tends to swing places it shouldn't swing, also. So both legs get belted down when I wear these.
And then we have a problem because they're nice and billowy for most of the leg, until you get to the lower calf, where they become fitted. Like this:
Or, on the days when I dye my pants gold, like this:

Affordable 'Fixer Upper' Home? A Chip and Joanna Creation Is Available for Only $290K
By Lisa Johnson Mandell
Not every owner of a "Fixer Upper" home remodeled by Chip and Joanna Gaines lives happily ever after.
The only constant in life is change—life happens and people move on. But there is one thing you can count on: A home will increase in value once America's favorite house flippers have deigned to (re)design it.
However, the return on investment isn't always as high as sellers might hope. Take the "Plain Gray Ranch" house featured in Season 4 of the HGTV hit show. The redesigned home in Woodway, TX, went on the market over a month ago for $310,000, and just recently the price was reduced to $290,000. An affordable option for Magnolia maniacs? Perhaps.
Chip does his best to come up with cute names for the homes he and his wife work on, and he called this three-bedroom, two-bath home the "Plain Gray Ranch" for obvious reasons. The nickname wasn't catchy, but it was apropos. While it wasn't in terrible shape, the home was nearly 60 years old and needed updating inside and out.
Now the traditional-style home with the double garage is a true showpiece. It comes with not only Joanna's signature shiplap, but also a statement piece of furniture designed by Joanna.
"The built-in dining room table that Joanna designed is truly unique and transfers with the home," says listing agent Jake Russell of Magnolia Real Estate in Texas and CORE in New York.
Chip and Joanna also added a living room fireplace from scratch.
"When we were looking at other houses, something we really wanted was a fireplace," said Melissa Yielding, who bought the home with her husband, Matthew. "So, I was pretty bummed when this house didn't have one. When we walked in and saw the fireplace, it was such a fun surprise."
In addition to the home's all-new design, Russell cites the lot and location as awesome features.
"The backyard is very large, and it's a short walk to Whitehall Park, so there is lots of great room for a dog. This property is also conveniently located near major shopping venues, restaurants, and quick access to I-35 if you want to visit Dallas or Austin," he says.
A few other "Fixer Upper" homes have been in the news lately, thanks to the exorbitant prices the owners have been asking.
Homeowners Cameron and Jessica Bell spent around $140,000 for a one-bedroom shotgun house, but after a "Fixer Upper" treatment, it's now on the market for a whopping $950,000!
And then there's the famous (or shall we say infamous?) "barndominium," a former barn that the Gaines turned into a five-bedroom, two-bath home in Lacy Lakeview, TX. The owner had the home on VRBO for up to $1,500 per night, but when the neighbors raised a fuss about short-term renters, she put it on the market for a whopping $1.2 million. After three months on the market, it's still waiting for a "Fixer Upper" fan to make an offer.
Those two examples make this Season 4 star seem like a bargain. Even if the median listing price in Woodway is only $159,900, the price must account for the "Fixer Upper" effect.

GRAND BLANC (WJRT) - (04/17/19) - Grand Blanc Community Schools is alerting the community of potential chickenpox exposure.
Anyone who attended the Grand Blanc High School performance of "The Addams Family" last Friday may have been exposed to the virus.
The district is working with the Genesee County Health Department on the response. Children or adults experiencing symptoms such as the signature itchy rash should call their doctor immediately.
The health department says the contagious, viral disease can be prevented by a vaccine. The varicella zoster virus that causes chickenpox also is responsible for the shingles in older adults.
Symptoms usually appear two to three weeks after exposure. They include a rash that turns into fluid-filled blisters and eventually scabs. The rash and spread all over the body, including onto mucus membranes.
Other symptoms include fever, tiredness, headaches and loss of appetite.

You needed to use the -p option which would get packages if it can. If you upgrade early, you need a cpu with considerable power. The problem is being patient long enough :). I have an AMD 2400+ XP and it had to build the gnome stuff and the new release of kde-3.4.3. It took a while :). However, I had packages on it, that I could move to my other 5.4 computers, long before they had packages on Marcus' tinderbox, which is where the gnome_upgrade.sh script, which came along about 10 Novermber, gets the gnome packages.

I've experienced all kind of loss in my life. Most people have. My mom was diagnosed with a terminal illness when I was a teenager, and passed within a few years. I lost an Uncle, who was my sort of replacement father, shortly before that. My best friend was killed in a car accident just after Christmas 2016.
But there are more types of loss than death. Relationships end, or people aren't who you thought they were. Sometimes you have to remove people from your life for your own health and sanity. You lose jobs, you move. Life goes on.
Some selections include Trigger Warnings for descriptions of sexual assault and domestic violence.

Alyssa Jung: Bills vs Falcons…A Blowout is an Understatement
So, Sunday's game against Atlanta was fun…it was a beautiful spectacle of athleticism…it was borderline amazing…not! It was atrocious…it was embarrassing…it was confusing…it was disheartening…but it was also life as a Bills fan, so I'm fine and I'm over it. I bet you guys never thought I would be able to hold on to my "new and improved positive outlook on the season" when I first debuted it a few weeks back…but clearly I have and I think I'll give myself a pat on the back right about now. Now, let's rip through this game recap (31-3) quicker than Marshawn Lynch can lose yardage…oops I mean…ehh, I can't think of anything quirky, fill it in yourself!
We opened the game as can be expected…three and out. Then Matt Ryan threw a 42-yard TD to Roddy White on a 1st and 10 to give the Falcons an early 7-0 lead. Shouldn't really have been anything to worry about but, ya know, sh*t happens and we just couldn't manage to rebound for a variety of reasons:
-Our run game was uncharacteristically stifled. Like shut down, nothing there at all. Freddy J only had 37 yards and Marshawn Lynch had 3. Freddy J even had a fumble returned for a TD, which I don't think I've seen from him all season.
-We had horrendous field position after just about every kickoff. I know exactly why and I've addressed this before, but by now we've come to realize that people rarely listen to me: Roscoe Parrish was returning and while he may have been good other seasons, he's not good this season and that is why we rarely started above our own 20 yard line.
-Brian Brohm seemed to try his best–getting 146 yards passing–but he couldn't complete anything longer than 15 yards and it's the big plays (or at least attempts at big plays) that we need to get momentum going.
-Our D didn't get ANY takeaways…I think this might be a first too…or at the very least, extremely unlike them. Aaron Schobel had three sacks and had two forced fumbles, but we didn't recover any of them. Heard rumors today that Schobel was talking retirement…he better not!
-Finally settled for a FG by the time we were down 24-0. Some people are criticizing Perry for that call and calling him Jauron-like. Yeah, that was a Jauron move but I agree with his decision…I'd much rather see us lose 31-3 than 31-0…call me dumb but it just looks slightly less pathetic.
Hard loss but we've got one game left, I'll be there, and I'm psyched.

Today's guest post comes from photographer Rob Knight.
I love to travel, but not all of my trips are "photography trips". I travel with my family quite a bit. I also know a lot of photographers who travel for business with limited time to get out and make pictures. You can't always concentrate on your photography as much as you would like when you're on the road, but here are five tips to help you make the most of your next adventure.
1. Travel light.
It's tempting to bring all of your photography gear with you to the family reunion. I like to bring a small kit when I'm not traveling specifically to make photos. I generally carry one camera, one or two zoom lenses and a speedlight (or LED). I MIGHT bring a macro lens if I know I'm going somewhere I will use it, but usually it's just a zoom or two. Not only is a small kit easy to carry, it also keeps me shooting more and changing lenses less. I can carry everything I need in a small shoulder bag like this Think Tank Photo Retrospective 7.
2. Do your research.
It's easier than ever to find good spots to shoot no matter where in the world you're going. I used to read a lot of guide books, but now I just hit the Internet. Google images, G+ and Flickr are just a few places to look for great images from wherever you're going. You usually have limited time when traveling for business or family, so it's nice to be prepared when you do get a little time to shoot.
3. Schedule shooting time.
Rather than trying to squeeze in photography now and then, why not add a little photo time to your itinerary? Use outings with your family as "scouting trips" and make plans to visit good spots when you'll have the best light. Chances are you're out with your family in the middle of the day when the light is bad anyway. I find that my wife is much more understanding when I have a couple of hours set aside for shooting than if I'm holding up the family vacation so I can "get the shot". Photos like this one usually don't happen without a bit of planning.
4. Don't forget the subjects you brought with you.
I'm terribly guilty of forgetting this one. I get so wrapped up in shooting the landscape, architecture, local people, etc that I forget to make photos of my family. Look for great backgrounds for environmental portraits of your kids. Don't forget to get yourself in a frame every now and then too! Those cheesy shots of your family in front of the Grand Canyon NP sign might end up being your favorite photos of the trip.
5. Backup, but don't miss out.
We all like to download our images and see what we got, right? It's also a good idea to download your images to a hard drive each day in case something happens to your memory cards. Just wait until everybody has gone to bed. Don't miss out on time you could be spending enjoying a trip with your family to dork-out on the computer. Your photos will be there after bed time.
Traveling should be fun! Make photography something that adds to your experience AND the experience of your friends and family. It only takes a bit of planning to make traveling with your camera easy and fun for everybody.

Complete Story
Private companies may repair county roads without following QBS, competitive bidding laws
A county may allow a private company to repair roads they use at no cost to the county, and the design and construction of such projects would not be subject to the state's QBS or competitive bidding laws.
That's the conclusion reached by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine in an opinion issued September 19 to Richland County Prosecuting Attorney James J. Mayer, Jr.
In his request for an opinion, Mayer said the county has experienced "a significant increase in the number of heavy-duty trucks using county roads . . . primarily in conjunction with oil and gas drilling operations and wind farms." He asked whether the county could enter into an agreement with a company that conducts oil and gas drilling or wind farm operations to repair the roads it uses.
DeWine advised that a county may enter into an agreement with a private company to repair county roads and when it does so, the company is not obligated to retain an engineer according to the state's Qualifications-Based Selection law – as the county would be – nor is the company obligated to take competitive bids for the work.
However, if a county enters into such a contract, the county would be required to ensure that prevailing wages are paid by the private company. In the opinion, DeWine specifically declined to advise whether the county could incur civil liability for failing to ensure the payment of prevailing wages.

I personally have refused to comment on the issue, cos everyone is claiming exclusive right to a fight? certain human being must really be feeling important…hehehe…Nigerian Bloggers oti ooo. Most families fight too, but being celebrities have made this one worst than it really is. Plus sometimes the media often make reconcilable differences blown out of proportion. But if they are fools, they can allow stupid things separate them. And if their wives are fools, they should involve themselves into the matter, as they'll sure settle out as brothers leaving them in limbo. I've learnt to stay away from men's fight, cos they easily forgive themselves and move on. But women cling on emotions. Abeg wetin concern agbero with overload? Amebo dey sweet eeh.….
Meanwhile, below is the opinion of a friend of mine, read it and tell me if you agree with him
After reading and reviewing the issues surrounding the Igbo born artist Paul and Peter Okoye imminent breakup, I have come to these conclusions:
1. Their mother's death did a big blow to the unity of the family. Their mother as reported was the bedrock of their success. She did all she can to support their musical ambition as against the wish of their father. This sums it up for me that in marriage, women who are faithful, God fearing and see future are 90 percent correct in decision making most times.
2. The marriage to Lola which was staunchly rejected by their mother whom they respect so much would never happen if she was still alive. This argument support the first point deduced above.
3. Marriage to an older partner could drop significantly since Lola who is older is the one accused of disintegrating one time united family and powerful R&B duo in Africa. By the way, how many people can even marry an older partner? I may consider it if am still single anyways.
4. Cultural impediments most often hamper inter tribal marriages.
Finally, if Lola was to be an Igbo lady, I believe the family won't reject her on the ground that she is older. Age is just a number. Also, if Lola was to be Igbo, she may not instigate the husband to pull out of the contract simply because of what her friends or the media churn out. Whether the husband song is pushed out or not, we the fans don't know. What we know is that P square has a new song and we enjoy it.
I hope they amicably resolve their differences as I see Lola and the husband not able to sustain a war where all the family members will boycott them. For his musical career, it may be on downward spiral as the talented one is with Jude( their elder brother) who is a prolific music producer and director.

We demonstrate passive mode locking of solid-state lasers by saturable absorbers based on carbon nanotubes (CNT). These novel absorbers are fabricated by spin-coating a polymer doped with CNTs onto commercial dielectric laser-mirrors. We obtain broadband artificial saturable absorber mirrors with ultrafast recovery times without the use of epitaxial growth techniques and the well-established spin-coating process allows the fabrication of devices based on a large variety of substrate materials. First results on passive mode locking of Nd:glass and Er/Yb:glass lasers are discussed. In the case of Er/Yb:glass we report the to our knowledge shortest pulse generated in a self-starting configuration based on Er/Yb:bulk-glass: 68 fs (45 fs Fourier-limit) at 1570 nm wavelength at a pulse-repetition rate of 85 MHz.

You are invited to attend the next meeting of the Immunisation Alliance of WA, to be held at CiH at Cockburn. This research-based meeting will showcase and report on some of the recent exciting and important work being carried out by members of the Alliance; you are encouraged to attend and invite interested guests.
1. Dr Katie Attwell, Senior Lecturer in Politics at UWA, will be presenting "Vaccine hesitancy as social and tribal – how it travels in groups". Researchers are developing a better understanding of the reasons parents reject vaccines for their children. In this presentation, Katie will explore vaccine hesitant and refusing parents in Fremantle, Western Australia, and Adelaide, South Australia, considering how 'community' membership impacts vaccination knowledge, beliefs and behaviours.
2. Melanie Freeman, Murdoch University, will be presenting "Parents Experience of their Antenatal Care". Information about immunisation can influence the immunisation uptake rates of parents. In this study we investigated parental attitudes to immunisation and their experience of their antenatal care. We looked at how immunisation was discussed with parents and whether their health care professionals encouraged them to immunise or not.
3. Sharon Swaney, Honours Student Curtin University, will be presenting preliminary findings on "Vaccine-Hesitancy among High-SES parents in Perth". Vaccine-hesitancy in high-socioeconomic communities is an emerging trend which threatens public health, and ascertaining reasons for this is essential to inform successful future Health Promotion interventions. By interviewing Parents and HCPs, this qualitative study aims to fill a gap in existing knowledge in this target group and explores perceptions and influences surrounding vaccination decision-making. Insights and recommendations are provided.

Come and Take It Day – October 6th #ComeAndTakeitDay
Come and Take It Day October 6th History and Photo #ComeAndTakeitDay – Happy Come and Take It Day Pictures and Download Images Free. Today is Come and Take It Day. This day is here for the taking. Grab it. Take it and run with it. We're sure it's going to be a great day.
There is a slight difference between the terms "come and get it" and "come and take it". The first suggests an offer by someone, and therefore, approval to have whatever "it" is.
Origin of Come and Take It Day:
The town of Gonzales, Texas holds a Come & Take It Festival each year. It commemorates the firing of the first shot of the Texas revolution on Oct. 2, 1835, which took place near Gonzales.
Some people also believe that this day originated from a of a movie of the same name in 2001. We believe this is coincidental
Come and Take It Day is catchy name for a special day, and sure sounds like a fun day.

Labour has been fined £20,000 by the Electoral Commission, the largest imposed by the body in its history, for undeclared election spending during the 2015 campaign, including more than £7,000 on the so-called "Ed Stone".
The commission launched an investigation into two payments totalling £7,614 missing from the party's election return that were spent on the stone tablet on which then Labour leader, Ed Miliband, had carved his six key election pledges, promising to display it in the Downing Street rose garden if he won the election.
The problems with the party's spending came to light when the commission published the return in January, and journalists immediately contacted the commission because they could not find any reference to the 8ft 6in, two-tonne slab of limestone. The commission then found the item was indeed missing from the return, and began a full inquiry.
After the commission launched its investigation, the party undertook an internal review, unearthing 24 other undeclared election expenses totalling £109,777.
However, the commission's investigation then identified 49 further missing payments totalling £11,357 that related to the transport of the party's activists on the Labour Express tour and Labour Students tour during the election.
Labour's infamous pink bus, which toured the country speaking to female voters, was also investigated by the commission, which found that all its spend was in order. The Women to Women bus had been the subject of a complaint to the commission by Conservative MP Charles Walker, after his own party came under a similar, and highly publicised, investigation into transport of election activists.
The commission also found invoices were missing from the Labour party's return, with 33 bills totalling £34,392 absent from the accounts.
The commission said Labour's general secretary, Iain McNicol, who is also its registered treasurer, had committed two election offences, involving missing payments of £123,748 from the campaign spending return and for failing to deliver invoices and receipts of more than £200 for payments totalling £34,392.
The £20,000 fine, which has been paid by the party, is the largest fine the commission has imposed since it began operating in 2001. The commission said the party's cooperation had been taken into account but called on the government to grant it the ability to impose even larger fines, given the scale of the underreporting.
Bob Posner, the commission's director of party and election finance, said: "The Labour party is a well-established, experienced party. Rules on reporting campaign spending have been in place for over 15 years and it is vital that the larger parties comply with these rules and report their finances accurately if voters are to have confidence in the system."
In a statement, the commission said it was pushing the government for an increase to the maximum £20,000 penalty available to it for a single offence "to an amount more in proportion with the spending and donations handled by large campaigners".
A Labour party spokeswoman said: "Labour has cooperated fully with the Electoral Commission during its investigation into general election 2015 campaign spending by political parties.
"The commission's investigation found that internal procedural errors led to a relatively small number of items of expenditure not being declared properly. The party regrets these administrative errors. However, these amounted to just over 1% of our total spending of over £12m during this election.
"We accept the findings of the report and have already tightened our internal recording procedures to address the commission's concerns."
Other parties could still be in line for fines or legal action because of general election spending. In May, Conservative activists were claimed to have misallocated expenditure for their "Battlebus 2015" campaign and hotel rooms for activists. The bus appears to have cost more than £2,000 a day to run, but the expense was deemed to be a national campaigning cost, rather than constituency costs.
The Electoral Commission had applied to the high court for documentation about the Conservatives' election spending – which trended on Twitter as #ToryElectionFraud – but then withdrew the action when the party provided the information. Its investigation is continuing and police forces across the country are also investigating in individual constituencies.
Other campaigns have also faced similar accusations, including the Better Together campaign in the Scottish referendum, which had undeclared expenses of about £57,000, and was fined £2,000.

Hash browns, french fries, baked potatoes, scalloped potatoes, potato chips or just plain old mashed, potatoes are as popular today as they were centuries ago. Today we cut them, dice them, slice them, deep fry them and then eat them with cheese, gravy and ketchup. The potato is one of the most consumed foods in the world. But potatoes don't grow out of the ground just the way we like them. They have to be cut in certain fashions to give us what we want.
Potato Slicer
A potato slicer gives you thick circular slices that are perfect for scalloped potatoes. These slicers come in manual or electric models. The hand slicer, which average $10 and up and can be purchased at most major department stores, sits on the counter top. The potato is placed inside and the top, which has sharp blades or wire, closes and slices the potato. The electric tabletop machine, which will cost anywhere from $65 to $380, is used mainly for commercial purposes. It has a fast rotating blade that slices the potato as it is being pushed through. Potato slicers can be ordered online from manufacturers such as Nemco and Chefs.
Potato Peeler
The most common potato peeler is the hand peeler, which has a handle and two sharp blades that cut the skin off the potato. These hand peelers cost only a few dollars and can be purchased at any major department store. Electric commercial peelers can peel a potato in five to eight seconds. These will run $50 and up and can be ordered online from Chefs, Nemco or Sears.
Potato Chip Cutter
Potato chip cutters are purchased mostly by businesses that make large quantities of potato chips. These are either counter top or freestanding electric machines. The potato is placed into a large hole in the side of the machine and is shoved through and thinly sliced, shooting the slices back out the opposite side of the machine. Potato slicers and potato chip cutters are different, since the slicer cuts them thick and the potato chip slicer cuts them paper thin. For people who want to make their own potato chips at home, the slicer will work, but it will be difficult to fry them as crispy as a regular potato chip. They can also be sliced thin by hand; be extra careful not to cut yourself. Potato chip cutters can be purchased at any kitchen specialty store or online starting at $65.
French Fry Cutter
The french fry cutter is used to cut the potato in thick or thin strips to bake or fry. The manual french fry cutter has a large handle to cut the potato into strips. Electric machines cut the potato in strips to make french fries in large quantities. Depending on which one you need, the prices will range from $59.99 on into the hundreds. Chefs, Nemco and Bunn-o-matic from Bunn are just a few of the manufacturers that offer online purchasing.
Potato Shredder
The most common shredder is your average food processor. There is also the bladed hand plate that is held while the potato is shredded by hand. This is can be time- consuming. Commercial machines shred the potato automatically. Food processors can be purchased at most major department stores such as Walmart and Target and start at around $30. GE, Oster and Bosch all make food processors. Commercial food processors/shredders can be bought at kitchen specialty stores or ordered online; prices range well into the hundreds for these types.
All-In-One Cutter
For the average potato lover who cooks at home and does not need fancy machines, there is an all-in-one model that cuts, chops and slices the potato. This comes with different blades that can be changed depending on how the potato needs to be cut (chopped or sliced). These can be purchased at stores such as Walmart, Target or any kitchen specialty store and will cost around $15 to $30.

What I like: Christina's glamorous Boho waves, and the striking red lipstick against her porcelain skin. I like that her brows are soft and ashy, her blush is barely there, and her lashes are natural. What I'd change: Nothing.
Emma Stone
What I like: Emma's wash of lilac eyeshadow, all the way up to her brows. I've always loved when she does this style of application; the warmer pink lips and blush make for a subtle colour-blocking effect. Her side-parted, textured lob couldn't be more perfect. What I'd change: Nothing.
Naomie Harris
What I like: Naomie's chic, monochromatic makeup. Instead of the predictable browns, she did sheer maroon lids and matching gloss; there's even a similar light colour in her lower waterlines (and natural lashes!). The deep side part keeps her hairstyle chic and off her face. What I'd change: I'd blend that lower lip liner just a tad.
Brie Larson
What I like: Doesn't Brie look so much better here than she did at the Oscars? Less is more on her—I love the fresh skin, flushed cheeks, sheer gloss and feathery brows. Most of all, I think her beachy waves and blonde hair colour look fabulous. What I'd change: Nothing.
Sophie Simmons
What I like: Sophie's defined lashes and subtle nod to the pink eyeshadow trend. She has beautiful skin and brows, too! Her hair looks super-healthy. What I'd change: Nothing.
Peyton List
What I like: It's all about that glow on Peyton's cheek. It's nice to see an 18-year-old showing off her lovely skin, instead of piling on the foundation like we saw at Kids' Choice. Brows and lashes are natural, too, and the lip stain is so pretty. What I'd change: Nothing.
Amy Adams
What I like: Amy's side-parted strawberry waves and bold pink lip gloss. Also, let's applaud her for not Botoxing the heck out of her skin, like so many of her peers! As usual, she's got some shimmer around her eyes, but her brows look bolder than usual this time. What I'd change: Nothing.
Lily Collins
What I like: Lily's Gothic glamour. She really went for it again, with dramatic berry lips, extra-long lashes and lots of blush. I think it helps that her hair is slicked at the roots and all off her face. Plus, her brows make everything better. What I'd change: I'm okay with the lashes actually, but I feel like the blush shade is a bit off.
Lily is wearing: Foundation • Concealer • Powder • Blush in Rose Fresque • Brow pencil in Neutral Brown • Lip gloss in Iron Nude (as eyeshadow) • Lip gloss in Polished Rose (as eyeshadow) • Mascara in Excessive Black • Lipstick in Perfect Fig
Kristen Stewart
What I like: Kristen's chunky black glasses, red lipstick, sooty liner and effortless short hairstyle. This was just before she shaved it all off and dyed it blonde, of course. What a shame, because this is one of my favourite looks on her ever! What I'd change: Her brows pencil's a bit too red, but you don't really notice it.
Camilla Belle
What I like: Camilla's candy pink lipstick. So few people look good in this colour (including me!) but it's always amazing on her. I also like her tightlining, strong brows and apparently foundation-free skin. What I'd change: Nothing.
AnnaSophia Robb
What I like: AnnaSophia's lived-in makeup. (She has such pretty eyes and bone structure that truth be told, any makeup would look gorge on her!) Her lashes look fluffy, with some smudgy grey liner along the top and what appears to be bronze on the bottom. I also like the sheer orange lips, and her half-up hairstyle. What I'd change: Nothing.
Kate Upton
What I like: Kate's baby pink lipstick, fresh skin, darkened brows and simple updo. Also, this is how you do false eyelashes without them overpowering your entire face! What I'd change: Nothing.
America Ferrera
What I like: America's warm red lipstick and new straight bob. I think the blonde kind of washes her out, but everyone should get to play with their colour at least once! I'm glad she kept her brows dark. What I'd change: Nothing.
Reese Witherspoon
What I like: Reese looks so cute here! She really has great skin. I always like these smudgy, purplish smoky eyes on her; the glossy pink lipstick and liner help give the illusion of fuller lips. The soft, wavy hairstyle is also great. What I'd change: Her blush looks a little muddy.
Reese is wearing: Lipstick in Pretty Pink
Allison Williams
What I like: Allison's long, loose brunette waves and tightlined eyes. Like Kristen Stewart, this is from before she dyed her hair blonde—again, too bad because this is the prettiest I've seen her look. (I was shocked at her blonde on the cover of Allure... it looks so fried!) Usually, I find she goes too heavy on the blush and contour, but there's none of that here. What I'd change: Nothing.
Yara Shahidi
What I like: Yara's berry lip gloss and braids. (There are actually two braids here, same as her Elle Women in Hollywood Awards hairstyle.) I love her brows and how she kept her lashes super-soft. What I'd change: I'm all for glowy skin, but I might blot down a bit of this shine.
Felicity Jones
What I like: Felicity's faux curtain bangs. (How does she her hair to do that?!) I love that it doesn't look too "done." As usual, she emphasized her eyes—this time by smoking out a cat eye—and chose a soft pink for her lips and cheeks. What I'd change: Nothing.
Riley Keough
What I like: Riley's super-long, super-straight, centre-parted hair. She's got such a unique look, doesn't she? I also like the shimmer at the inner corners of her eyes. What I'd change: I prefer her hair darker and more red (like at Cannes last year). Her skin looks a little dry, but it happens!
Zoë Saldana
What I like: How amazing areZoë's eyes here?! I love how there's black in the waterlines, all the way around, and a smoky-to-sheer purplish tone on the lids. Her skin looks glowy and her hair is so shiny. What I'd change: There's a bit of a mismatch from her face to neck and chest... but not sure that could be corrected without getting too makeuppy.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
What I like: The highlights at the inner corners of Mary's eyes, and her classic pairing of red lipstick and black liner. Her lashes and brows are soft, and her hair has nice texture. What I'd change: Nothing.
Ellie Bamber
What I like: Ellie's sequins! This is a red carpet twist on the runway look, and she paired them with the most stunning peaches and cream skin (and lips). Loose, undone hair dresses them down. What I'd change: I so wish she didn't add the extreme false lashes! It really dampens the coolness factor (as does her accessorizing).
Kate Beckinsale
What I like: Kate's ponytail with face-framing tendrils, and her sheer pink lip gloss. I also like the chunky natural lashes and smudgy brown liner under her eyes. What I'd change: Nothing.
Sienna Miller
What I like: Sienna's mini braids and loose waves. I also like that we can see her freckles, and her lashes are super-soft and fluffy. What I'd change: Her skin looks a bit red and her lips a bit dry. (Post-procedure, perhaps?) I think a darker brow colour would be better. I can't believe she is doing the Heidi Klum white eyeliner thing in her lower waterlines!

2nd - ~Mana~
3rd - @[Basedsamuraij]
Despite the utterly miserable weather, today was a pretty fun day. We somehow ended up with 11 participants and only one stadium, so the event went on for an astounding five hours. Thank you to everyone who showed up!
I'll touch on it a bit in the Winning Combos thread, but Maximum Garuda was hot topic today. Despite being a glorified frisbee, it presented the biggest hurdle for all participants and almost always won a battle it was involved in. Valkyrie and Lost Longinus showed some promise in Bursting it, but not to any degree of consistency. Certainly a part to keep an eye on going forward.
And congratulations to @[Better LT] for winning the event, despite it being his first! Even though your username was a clear joke to start with, perhaps you really are a better @[Mr LT]...

Jump Jive, Blues, Boogie Woogie and a good time were the order of the day when Lichfield Arts opened their 2010 Blues season with the critically acclaimed Red Stripe Band.
The band, led by keyboard player and singer Red Stripe (a former accountant), also featured singer Gemma Nelson, a strong rhythm section of drummer Ed Williams and bassist Costa Tancredi, and a brass section of Erica Clarke and Martin Grey.
As well as covers of music from the 1930's to the 1950's, they also played a number of upbeat instrumentals and a couple of their own numbers.
Pieces such as Booker T and the MG's Soul Limbo were played with a slickness of approach, whilst songs such as their own Shake Shake, Boom Boom, You Got What You Wanted and You're Mine sat easily alongside such well known songs as Jerry Lee Lewis' Great Balls of Fire and Little Richard's Good Golly Miss Molly. Slower songs, such as Tu Vuo Fa L Americano helped to add new colours to the band's pallete.
Tequilla with its catchy brass refrain saw Red Stripe taking up a 1980's Keytar, and the rest of the band walking among the audience, and although this may have been more suitable behaviour for a summer festival, it helped to add to the good time nature of the gig.
Although the group played as a unit, there was still time for good solos in many of the songs, with Red Stripe and Tenor Saxophonist Martin Grey being particularly impressive.
Although the audience was relatively small, the professionalism of the group shone through, and the grandeur of the Guildhall helped with a strong opening to Lichfield Arts new season.

Colts Flashback: Monday Night Football's First Game in Indy
This year marks the 30th anniversary of NFL football in Indy, and IM celebrates the occasion in our September 2014 issue with "30 for 30," a roundup of the most memorable moments, milestones, plays, and players in Indianapolis Colts history.
Halloween Rout
The Colts arrived in 1984, but the true coming-out party didn't happen until four years later. In October 1988, John Elway and the Denver Broncos trotted into town for the city's first-ever showcase on Monday Night Football. "For me, there was a personal piece with that game because of the Elway trade," offensive lineman Chris Hinton says of the Halloween matchup: In 1983, Denver had sent Hinton packing to acquire Elway after the first-overall draft pick refused to sign with Indy.
The Colts galloped out of the gate and quickly reduced the Broncos to horsemeat. Running back Eric Dickerson racked up 159 yards and four touchdowns in the first 19 minutes. Dickerson took himself out of the game, a 55-23 win, despite Hinton's best efforts to dissuade him from reining it in. "I wanted him to get 400 yards."
Hinton himself got caught up in the be-costumed Hoosier Dome frenzy. "They had masks of the Monday Night crew, and during the game, I put on a Dan Dierdorf mask," he says. "It actually became a football card of mine."
This article appeared in the September 2014 issue as part of the "30 for 30" feature on three decades of Indianapolis Colts football.

The Fourth Amendment protects our homes against unreasonable searches. So, in summary, your rights stand unless an officer has a warrant based on probable cause. But what happens if an officer enters your home without one?
When can an officer legally enter my home?
Do inmates have the right not to snitch?
"Snitches gets stitches." It's principle number one of the renowned law of honor among thieves. Back in 2010, Mark Burns said that a can fell from a high shelf and cut his face while working in the New York prion's commissary.
How does probation differ from parole?
Probation and parole both start with the letter "p," but there are more similarities still.One in 31 U.S. adults are behind bars, or on parole or probation. A judge might decide that probation is a good starting option for you. Or, a parole board might see it fit to grant you parole. For someone convicted of a crime, good behavior could be their ticket to less time behind bars. But which happens when, and what's the difference?
Exoneration for the wrongfully convicted
Imagine losing 31 years of your life to occupying a small jail cell under a false criminal conviction. This happened in 1978, after an innocent man was powerless to offer verifiable evidence against charges of burglary and rape. As a result, the Tennessee resident began his 31 years behind bars for a crime he did not commit.
When can police enter my home without a search warrant?
Many people mistakenly believe that the only way law enforcement can enter and search their home is with a search warrant. Unfortunately, that is not the case. There are a number of situations in which law enforcement can enter and search your home or vehicle without your consent or a warrant. If you believe that law enforcement violated your right against unreasonable search and seizure, you should speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney right away. An attorney can review the details of the search and your arrest to determine if police violated your civil rights during the process.
Have you been subjected to unlawful search and seizure?
The U.S. Constitution makes it unlawful for law enforcement officers to conduct searches and seizures without following legal protocol. If police perform a search and seizure unlawfully, arrest an individual and accuse him or her of crimes as a result, the accused person might be able to get the charges thrown out.
What happens when Miranda rights are violated?
In 1966, the Supreme Court ruled that statements made to the police could not be used as evidence unless the accused was made aware of certain rights before making any statements.
The 785 isn't just an area code, it's a law that protects your cell phone.
It was late. You were in a rush to get home and were pulled over for speeding. You know the drill: be polite, explain your actions before reaching into a glove compartment, remain calm. After you provide your license and registration, though, the officer demands your cell phone. You don't want trouble, but you don't want some stranger peering through your photos and messages. What are your options?
The law behind "stop and frisk"
The law behind "stop and frisk" can be particularly important for those who have been charged with any type of drug offense.
Do police need a warrant to search a house? Nope. Not always.
Many people are familiar with a search warrant, a signed court order by a judge that allows police to lawfully search a certain place to look for certain items.

What is Yoga?
Yoga is a set of practices for realizing the true nature of the self. There are many different types of Yoga. Gyana Yoga (also spelled Jnana Yoga) uses philosophical inquiry to realize this truth. Bhakti Yoga is the path of devotion. Karma Yogis attempt to perform action without attachment to the results of that action, and thereby come to the same realization. Raja Yoga integrates several other types of yoga. Some types of yoga involve the transmission of spiritual energy from guru to disciple. There are many different categories of yoga practices, too numerous to mention.
Hatha Yoga consists of physical practices designed to bring the body and mind to a state of balance. This is the branch of yoga Americans are most familiar with. These physical practices are asanas, kriyas, mudras, bandhas and pranayamas. Asanas are the yoga postures. Kriyas are cleansing practices. Bandhas hold and direct subtle energies in the body. Pranayamas are powerful breathing techniques.
Patanjali, a great yogi who lived thousands of years ago, described asana and pranayama as preparation for meditation, and meditation as the path to self realization, or samadhi. Integral Yoga, Viniyoga, Iyengar Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Sivananda Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and Kripalu Yoga are some of the many different Yoga traditions which have been brought to this country from India.

U.S. Ambassador Tours Area Outside Kabul
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
Afghanistan holds its presidential election this week. The voting comes Thursday, and the campaign of intimidation by the Taliban is underway right now. That included a suicide car bombing in Kabul over the weekend. MORNING EDITION's Renee Montagne has been reporting from Afghanistan for the past month, and she traveled from the capital, Kabul, with U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry. And they went to a place that offers a vision of a different future for Afghanistan, peaceful and prosperous: the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif.
Unidentified Group: (Singing in foreign language)
RENEE MONTAGNE: One thing about arriving with an ambassador, you can count on a big welcome from small children.
Unidentified Group: (Singing in foreign language)
(Soundbite of clapping)
MONTAGNE: After being serenaded and presented with a bouquet of plastic blue and white flowers, Karl Eikenberry singles out the tallest child, a boy in a silver suit and green shirt: What's your favorite class? Dari, his language.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ambassador KARL EIKENBERRY (U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan): And what you want to be when you grow up?
Unidentified Man #1: (Foreign language spoken)
Unidentified Child: (Foreign language spoken)
(Soundbite of laughter, applause)
Unidentified Man #1: President.
Unidentified Child: President.
Amb. EIKENBERRY: President.
(Soundbite of laughter)
MONTAGNE: Yes, to a question rarely posed to an Afghan child, the answer is president.
Amb. EIKENBERRY: I have to tell this young man I wish him luck, but as the ambassador of the United States, I can't favor any candidate.
(Soundbite of laughter)
MONTAGNE: Karl Eikenberry makes it his business to travel everywhere in Afghanistan. He's come to Mazar-e-Sharif in part because things are going well here. Virtually all of its polling sites are expected to open on election day. City roads are mostly paved. There's electric power, an international airport in the works, factories are being built and its bazaar is packed.
Amb. EIKENBERRY: Is this your donkey here?
Unidentified Man #2: Yes.
MONTAGNE: The ambassador is surrounded by cameras and mikes, dozens of armed guards and local dignitaries. But he's sincere in the idea that getting out of his armored car and in front of Afghans is important.
Amb. EIKENBERRY: How's your business? How is it - how's it compared to last year, say?
Unidentified Man #3: (Foreign language spoken)
Unidentified Man #4: This year.
Amb. EIKENBERRY: This year's better? And you do you know who this is?
Unidentified Man #3: (Foreign language spoken)
Unidentified Man #4: I know.
Amb. EIKENBERRY: Who is that?
Unidentified Man #4: Hold on. It's the…
Amb. EIKENBERRY: Governor.
(Soundbite of laughter)
MONTAGNE: And that would be Governor Atta Mohammad. He's the man who is credited with making this entire province secure enough to prosper after he helped drive out the Taliban. At the market, men pushed passed armed guards to kiss his hand. Here in Afghanistan, Atta Mohammad is one of the most successful examples of a Mujahedeen commander turned warlord, turned politician. An educated man, comfortable with power, striding through the bazaar in a well-tailored suit alongside the American ambassador.
Amb. EIKENBERRY: Are you going to vote in the election on the 20th of August in Tovosh(ph)? Maybe someone discuss?
Unidentified Man #5: (Foreign language spoken)
Amb. EIKENBERRY: (unintelligible)
Unidentified Man #5: (Foreign language spoken)
Unidentified Man #6: Yes.
Amb. EIKENBERRY: Are you excited about the election?
Unidentified Man #5: (Foreign language spoken)
Unidentified Man #7: (Foreign language spoken)
MONTAGNE: Karl Eikenberry is on his third tour in Afghanistan. Twice before, he came here as an army general. On this day after returning from one of his many ambassadorial trips around the country, he phones President Hamid Karzai to talk about the bombing earlier in the morning. He speaks with Senator John McCain about an upcoming visit. And he speaks with us about his day in Mazar-e-Sharif.
Is Mazar-e-Sharif one possible future for Afghanistan?
Amb. EIKENBERRY: It is. There's prosperity. There's hope. There's order there. And yes, it should give us confidence that if we can get the government up and running in parts of the country where there is insecurity right now, yeah, I'd leaved a place like Mazar-e-Sharif saying that it's possible to get things quite right in this country.
MONTAGNE: So when you make trips as you do - what about once, sometimes twice a week…
Amb. EIKENBERRY: Either once or twice a week I'm up there with my wife Ching.
MONTAGNE: That's right. And oftentimes walk right down through a market with the two of you together…
Amb. EIKENBERRY: Yes.
MONTAGNE: …showing a couple that are partners. Of course, these aren't totally natural visits to market and whatnot. You are surrounded by heavy security, often by the local press. What are you trying to achieve?
Amb. EIKENBERRY: Well, talk about that Ching coming with me. Ching being out there in the provinces and walking through the bazaars is accomplishing something, Renee, I can't accomplish on my own, and that is by her presence, she's putting a spotlight on women's affairs in Afghanistan. I'm a man. I can't do that. If I try to do it, it's going to be misperceived as a Western political agenda. I don't know how Afghanistan can become a modern nation unless women have a more advanced role in the society. So, that's first.
Second, Afghanistan is a country, if you look at their modern history, they've had powers come and powers go. So what're we doing, then, when we get outside of this embassy and taking a lot of Afghan media with us and getting around to every province of this country to walking the bazaars? We're very visibly trying to reassure the Afghan people that we are here for the long haul.
MONTAGNE: You spent the day in the capital of the province that we were in, Mazar-e-Sharif, with the governor. Really popular in his province, but there are allegations of tax skimming, drug smuggling. Where is the balance between accepting someone who actually can provide for his people and worry about corruption?
Amb. EIKENBERRY: Well, ultimately those are decisions, Renee, for the people of Afghanistan to address. You know, Renee, in the year 2002 was my first trip to Mazar-e-Sharif. The progress that's occurred in that city and I believe around Mazar has been extraordinarily impressive. The province had a tremendous amount of poppy production several years ago, and now the province is poppy-free.
If I look at the level of services that are being provided in Mazar-e-Sharif, a city, I think, of about 500,000, things are just working there right now. Look, are there problems in the province? Sure, there's problems of insecurity in some places. There are allegations of corruption. There's allegations of some criminal activities. But for a country that, in 2001, had no institutions of the state, just abject poverty and the brutality of Taliban rule, that's pretty extraordinary right now, what we saw when we went to Mazar-e-Sharif.
MONTAGNE: Ambassador Eikenberry, one hour after your convoy headed out to make the trip to the relatively peaceful north and the city of Mazar-e-Sharif, a car pulled up at checkpoint down the street from the embassy and set off a massive bomb. This area is one of the most heavily guarded places in the capital. Is this a message saying in the - just days before the election, we can get to you?
Amb. EIKENBERRY: Clearly, that's the message that the terrorists were trying to send. You have a balance in this kind of environment between protecting the force, as we say, and protecting the mission. To protect the force, you need to put barriers up everywhere and put more body armor on yourselves.
But at the same time, you've got to be able to protect the mission. And we talked earlier about walking through the bazaars and trying to connect directly with the Afghan people, showing them we have confidence in this mission. That's a challenge for us.
I have confidence, though, in the people of this country. The 20th of August will represent the first election of a president of Afghanistan ever led by the Afghan people in their history. That will not be a perfect election. And yet I have confidence that that election will be a defeat for the enemies that we face together, and that's international terrorism.
MONTAGNE: And Ambassador Eikenberry, thank you for talking with us.
Amb. EIKENBERRY: Thank you, Renee.
(Soundbite of music)
INSKEEP: MORNING EDITION's Renee Montagne sat down over the weekend with the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry. She's on her way back to the States now, and she'll be sitting down with us again in a couple of days here in our studios in Washington.
