Welcome to my weekly column that tells what I'm doing, where we're going, what
I'm eating, how we're doing, plus my thoughts and observations.
I decided it was silly to have a column up at Blogger when I have my own site.
You can still see my blog if you're one of my regular visitors. I started that one in 2005!
If you're new to my site or my journal, please do check out the rest of my site, especially my bio. Feel free to leave comments on the blog form below or email me if you have questions!
A "blog" is just an online journal or diary. It's an abbreviation of "Web Log". There really is little difference between a blog and a website. Websites were around long before anyone came up with the terms blog or web log. People bared their souls or shared recipes or published news online on those websites, just like they do on blogs now.
Some companies sprang up to make blogs more accessible for the newbie. Before, you had to either use a somewhat-simple site like Geocities or AOL to make a website or you had to be a real computer geek. Blogger and other sites made it even easier to publish a site, called a blog. You don't have to do anything after setting it up, beyond typing.
I've had websites since the mid-90's, but when everyone was doing blogs later on, I went ahead and made mine at Blogger. I guess I figured it was easier and they had some fun tools, and also, that way there was another online directory where I could point people towards my sites. I was wrong about it being easier, and things have changed since then, so that's why I have closed that one down, and now I'm publishing my daily thoughts and such here.

Imagine an idyllic, sun-filled adventure full of swimming, sports, arts & crafts and fun with friends. The perfect way to spend a childhood summer, right? Well, all those experiences, and so many more, are available for your kids at Jewish summer camps!
For many families, their child's first summer at camp is a pivotal experience. And one of the most effective ways of strengthening Jewish identity in young Jews — and giving them a summer to remember — is the experience of Jewish overnight camp. "Camp was so much better than we expected," says Sherri Cohen, whose 10-year old son Benjamin attended camp Ramah in the Poconos for the first time last summer, and her 8-year old, Jacob, went for a weeklong "taste." On Visiting Day, Sherri and her husband Daniel were bowled over by the kids' level of engagement: raising their hands during educational discussions, or enthusiastically taking part in a Shabbat experience by the lake. "The camp really excels in engaging kids in Jewish life on a very deep level, and in a way that they love," Sherri says. "The kids take incredible ownership of it, with passion and joy."
While summer camps can run on the expensive side, they are fortunately no longer cost-prohibitive. For the past ten years, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia has provided One Happy Camper incentive grants of up to $1000 to families with children attending nonprofit Jewish overnight camps for the first time. This past summer, the Jewish Federation was delighted to give out grants to 294 first-time campers attending 31 different camps. For Sherri and her family, the financial grant helped seal the deal in their decision to send Ben, and her son Jacob next year, to Ramah. "The One Happy Camper grant helps to move the lever a little bit more," she concludes.
With so many activities competing for children's time these days, spending a summer outdoors, surrounded by nature in the Poconos, is an incredibly special experience. Whether your child is looking for a valuable Jewish experience or is more interested in traditional camp activities, a Jewish camp is a wonderful place to have a meaningful summer and make lifelong friends. Not sure which camp is right for your family? Check in with our Camp Concierge, Sharon Bromberg, to figure out which program is just right for your child. A summer full of adventure, creative exploration and Jewish learning is awaiting your family in 2018. Visit One Happy Camper now to learn more!
One Happy Camper, a program of the Foundation for Jewish Camp, is funded locally by Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia and the Neubauer Family Foundation.

Photos by Zhang Ning
Beautiful photos of China's rice terraces taken in Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou provinces.
These pictures show how beautiful the landscape is, and they also send a message that it is a very tough and harsh life for those who have shaped the landscape. The provinces, located in southwest China, are where the landscapes are very hilly and people have to make the most of the mountains. They build these spectacular terraces for more effective farming.

Each draft, it seems like there's a certain guy who can play any position along the offensive line. Last year it was Zach Martin, who went to Dallas and made the leap to the NFL look easy. He quickly locked down his position, playing right guard. It could have been other slots - he's that versatile. He reminds me a lot of Cameron Erving.
Given the lack of cohesion along the Broncos line, a man who can move from tackle to center is a very good investment. Erving can, and he's expected to go between rounds two and four, according to walterfootball.com. Guesstimating in which round a player will go this far before the draft is often a fool's errand. Even so, from watching film I'd say that this fool thinks he'll be gone by the end of round two. Erving could be worth a higher or lower draft pick, but it's a numbers game. There just aren't that many talented offensive linemen.
Gino Gradkowski passed his physical on Thursday to complete his trade from Baltimore to Denver. The Broncos sent their 2016 fourth-rounder to the Ravens in exchange for Baltimore's fifth-rounder that year.
The Broncos agreed to a one-year deal worth a reported $2M with defensive lineman Antonio Smith (6-3, 290) on Thursday. Smith was cut by Oakland on Tuesday and was reportedly also pursued by Houston, his previous team.
In Denver, Smith will be reunited with Gary Kubiak, Wade Phillips, and line coach Bill Kollar, and figures to rotate in along with Vance Walker and behind starting ends Derek Wolfe and Malik Jackson.

A day after the Broncos agreed to acquire Gino Gradkowski to compete at center, former starter Will Montgomery appears headed to Chicago to join John Fox and Adam Gase, according to the Tribune. Along with signing Montgomery, the Bears are expected to release longtime starter Roberto Garza.
Once Montgomery officially leaves, Denver's only remaining unrestricted free agents will be Quinton Carter and Wes Welker. Demaryius Thomas was tendered at the franchise level, while John Youboty was nontendered as an ERFA.

According to multiple reports, the Broncos are set to acquire guard/center Gino Gradkowski (6-3, 300) from the Ravens via trade, pending a physical. The fourth-year player figures to compete for Denver's starting center job; he turned 26 in November.
The Ravens have announced that the trade will include a swap of 2016 draft choices. According to Ed Werder, Denver will send their fourth-rounder and receive Baltimore's fifth-rounder. At first blush, this seems a slightly steep price.

According to Jeff Legwold, the Broncos are interested in signing defensive lineman Antonio Smith, who was waived by Oakland on Tuesday. The Texans are reportedly also interested in a reunion with the man lauded for his leadership and known as the Ninja Assassin.
Smith (6-3, 290) has played five seasons in Arizona, five in Houston (under current Broncos defensive line coach Bill Kollar), and one in Oakland. He was due to draw $3.2M in salary plus $800K in roster and workout bonuses this season, and his departure saves the Raiders $4M against their cap.

Denver quarterbacks coach Greg Knapp will dine with Northwestern's Trevor Siemian the night before his April 9 pro day, according to Ian Rapoport. Siemian's senior campaign was cut short by a torn ACL in November. The 6-3, 210-pounder completed 58.9 percent of his passes for the Wildcats, with 27 touchdowns and 24 interceptions, and a modest 5.8 adjusted yards per attempt during his time in Evanston.
Behind Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler, Denver has 2013 seventh-rounder Zac Dysert, who was a gameday inactive every week as a rookie and spent 2014 on the practice squad.
We tend not to put much stock into strength of schedule based upon prior seasons. But it's a figure we all get bludgeoned with throughout the year, so it's pretty much impossible to ignore completely. Anyway, here goes:
Denver's 2015 strength of schedule as measured by opponents' winning percentages is .541, which is the 10th highest figure in the league.
Continue reading "Relative to 2014 results, Broncos face 10th hardest schedule in 2015"
Demaryius Thomas says he won't be joining Peyton Manning at his annual Duke workouts, or participate in the Broncos' offseason workout program. Denver's top wideout tells Jeff Legwold he hopes to secure a long-term deal, adding about his health,
I'm getting getting my body right, still working through a little soreness in my Achilles, but I could run routes

In 2014, Transition Sooke took a first step in launching a Sooke permaculture demonstration garden. Local permaculture designer Jonathan Francoeurand was contracted for the work, and homeowners Adam and Cheryl Noseworthy provided the front yard. Progress to date has been slow for a variety of reasons, but the garden has been well thought and the vital role of patience in the permaculture process is certainly at play!
In February 2015 Jonathan and our Stephen Hindrichs conducted a "mini-blitz" on the property. "We softened the angle of the Hugelkultur bed and seeded field peas, crimson clover and some broccoli and kale," said Stephen at the time. "Then it got a light covering of compost with straw on top of that to help retain moisture. I then added some old deer fence netting to temporarily keep the birds from scratching up the seed. A great start and perfect cool damp weather to be seeding."
On the summer solstice in 2015, a dozen people gathered at the Sooke Road property for Sooke's first Permablitz. The day was spent creating garden paths and growing beds using compost, manure, cardboard and wood chips. A delicious lunch was provided with ample time to relax and socialize. Adam and Cheryl are now taking over as they develop a perennial food garden that serve their family well while also serving as an inspiration to others. As one organization dedicated to the permaculture movement puts it: Let's grow food not lawns!
Here's a one-minute video of our June 21, 2015 permablitz along with a few photos:

Hi, everyone! Today I have a polish to show you that has knocked my socks off. Well, not literally, because I don't wear socks. But figuratively, it definitely has! This is the first polish in a long time that I've put on and haven't been able to stop staring at my nails!
Glisten & Glow From Tokyo, With Love was part of the May Holo Hookup Box. I did not purchase the box, but I knew I HAD to have this polish. Luckily I was able to find someone who had purchased the box and wasn't in love with it. I'm not sure how that is possible, but I'm glad!
This is a very intense coral holo with a bright orange arc in the holo flame. Depending on the lighting the polish can lean more pinky coral or more orange, and sometimes even red. I am just obsessed with it. It was opaque in 2 coats, but I used 3 to intensify the color. I topped it off with one coat of HK Girl Top Coat.

Isn't it gorgeous? Unfortunately, this one is not available anymore, but if it is on your wish list I hope you can find it!
Thanks for reading and happy polishing!

The Pickton File
- $14.99
- $14.99
Publisher Description
Stevie Cameron turns her renowned analytical eye from the "crooks in suits" of her previous books to the case of Vancouver's missing women and the man who has been charged with killing 27 of them, who if convicted will have the horrific distinction of being the worst serial killer in Canadian history.
It's a shocking story that may not be over anytime soon. When the police moved in on Pickton's famous residence, the "pig farm" of Port Coquitlam, in February 2002, the entire 14-acre area was declared a crime scene -- the largest one in Canadian history. Well over 150 investigators and forensics experts were required, including 102 anthropology students from across the country called in to sift through the entire farm, one shovelful of dirt at a time.
A woman who is considered by many to be this country's best investigative journalist, Cameron has been thinking about the missing women of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside since 1998, when the occasional newspaper story ran about families and friends of some of the 63 missing women agitating for action -- and being ignored by police and politicians. Robert William "Willie" Pickton has been on her mind since his arrest, that February five years ago, for the murders of two of the women, Mona Wilson and Sereena Abotsway, both drug-addicted prostitutes from the impoverished neighbourhood where all the missing women had connections.
Living half-time in Vancouver for the last five years, Stevie Cameron has come to know many of the people involved in this case, from families of the missing women to the lawyers involved on both sides. She writes not only with tireless investigative curiosity, but also with enormous compassion for the women who are gone and the ones who still struggle to ply their trade on the Downtown Eastside.
"We had no idea [in 2002] how massive the investigation would be. We had no notion that the police would sift every inch of dirt on the Pickton farm, a process that lasted from the spring of 2002 to late 2004. We did not foresee the broad publication ban that would prevent any word printed or broadcast of what was being said in court in case it influenced a potential juror. We couldn't know that there would be, by 2006, 27 charges of first-degree murder against Pickton and that the police would continue to investigate him on suspicion of many other deaths. And we didn't know that the police and other personnel involved in the case, under threat of ruined careers, were forbidden to talk to reporters. In blissful ignorance, all I could do was begin…"

Author's Note: Do new fathers have lower testosterone than single men?
Lee T. Gettler's study finding that fathers appear to have lower average testosterone levels than single men was one of the most headline-making scientific discoveries of 2011. International news services and publications interpreted the data at will, typically drawing conclusions that lower testosterone correlated to lackluster sex drives and effeminate fathers without merit. Which is a major reason I was motivated to write this article. Taking time to read the entire study as well as interviews with the lead researcher Gettler quickly revealed massive scientific misinterpretation among the media. The notion that men might possess evolved mechanisms for care-giving, like women, doesn't make them any less male. Rather, it helps explain why fathering has such a salient impact on children.

I have received some enquiries on how to maximise the effectiveness of the downloadable Learning Styles book. If you like to download a copy, just sign up for the newsletter or the pop-up.
I felt that it was better to create a series of videos to explain how and why the downloadable book was designed as much. In this series, I also like to be clear that this is not about limiting a child to one particular learning style but rather to their dominant one(s). And yes, it is possible to have more than 1 learning style or complement 2 of them as well.
Part 1 : Introduction
In this video, I talk about the importance of you going through the survey with your child in a calm state of mind.
2. Learning Skills Survey
Here, I talk about the importance of letting your child to assess their own skills required for studying. This way, you are able to gauge your child's confidence towards their abilities.
3. Learning Skills Questionnaire
For this video, I talk about how the questionnaire is designed to identify your child's dominant learning styles.
4. Identifying Your Child's Learning Style
In this video, I maintain my stand that your child's Learning Styles can and most likely be a mix of all three styles with one being the most dominant. That said, it is important to reiterate that one should combine ALL 3 LEARNING STYLES if possible or at least utilise the more dominant ones.
Each video is around 1-2 minutes long. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Several of us actually do paint. I know I am from time to time tapped to do some work for one company ... and I think they do it out of pity. I've seen the finished product and I'm simply dumbfounded at their output.
One of them told me the other day: " You have to be your own client."
I was reading Meg Maples ( Sorry about the mispronunciation. Your Kung Fu is simply a mystery to me.)
The other day and it suddenly all clicks:
I created an overwhelming work load for myself. Then I created the illusion of an even greater workload by keeping everything visible on my desk. The precise opposite of inspiration.
So this morning I started stripping down my workspace to the bare necessities (Baloo and Mowgli would be proud.). I had not realize how much I had accumulated:
(and yes, the other side is just as full!)
20 cavalry.
100 infantry.
4 medium based solos
2 large based solos
2 objective markers
4 wreck markers
4 warcasters
14 warjacks
And this is all before taking into account that I still have two additional armies planned for this upcoming year (at 50 points each), participation in this year's Orange Crush, and Paint it Pink (which is undersupported, but not forgotten!)
And competition pieces for Crystal Brush.
If you take a step back and look at all that I must hate myself.
The first step to all of it is clearing the desk and treating myself as if I were a client. Something I suggest you do as well. Break out a stopwatch and paint one model to the level you want the entire unit.
I work in a very technical profession. If I paid myself the same rate the company billed me... I'd best sneeze Golden Demon. So, in order to be reasonable (Meg to the rescue! ) I'm paying myself minimum wage. I based this decision on an old economics professor's suggestion : treat your spare time as what its worth to someone else.
Today I start fresh timing a model to completion.
Let's see what I'm worth.

Projob Company Onboarding is a business to business network and an onboarding programme for international companies wishing to migrate to The Netherlands or those which are already based here.
Is your company migrating to the Netherlands? Are you already established but is the Dutch labour market still new to you? Would you like to benefit from a reliable network of business partners and suppliers? If the answer to either of those questions is yes, then you've come to the right place: The PCO Community platform and B2B network.
ABOUT Projob Company Onboarding (PCO); the original idea
PCO is founded by Projob, a labour market specialist in Amsterdam. The original idea came from the many questions Projob received from international companies which wanted to move to The Netherlands and were looking for information about the hiring of staff. The most frequently asked question was: "can you recruit a Sales manager for us to explore the market. And how does invoicing work if our company is still abroad. "
If a question is asked so often, it calls for action! That is what Projob did, it took action in it's own field of expertise: the Dutch Employment and labour market. Therefore, the basis of Projob Company Onboarding is an eBook about the Dutch labour market and an HR programme for a recruitment and personnel strategy. This is the service that Projob offers itself.
Then it got more…
The original idea almost grew organically. Projob also is a network organisation, we believe in sharing and working with business partners you can rely on. We love to connect and see great and valuable connections come into being. For companies, a reliable network is one of the most important things. Business partners, to make the migration and integration into the Dutch culture, community and economy for companies easy and successful. Ideas, experiences and tips that can be shared with both Dutch companies and international companies, which also have made that move to The Netherlands. A total package of services can be offered by this network, well organised, efficiently and quickly accessible.
Projob Company Onboarding today
Projob Company Onboarding is now a B2B network, a content platform and from the founders Projob: a stunning HR programme and informative and topical eBook as a guide for the Dutch Employment & Labour market. Who are the partners of the PCO network? We invite you to have a look at the partner page.
Together we can offer a wonderful proposition that makes any international move and onboarding easier. Join our platform and network!
Is your company planning to move to The Netherlands and would you like to receive a proposition from the PCO network without further obligations ? Please feel free to contact us.
We also look forward to your membership and significant contributions to the PCO business community! Let's help and get to know each other!

I love reading Inc.com. There are tons of great articles even if they tend to lean a little heavy on the list post format. As mentioned just last week I think list posts are Ok, but Ok when used in moderation. I guess that's why I'm creating a list post here.
Anyway, a recent post on Inc.com got me thinking about a format for a post. The article was One Thing Every Great Entrepreneur Does (you'll have to click to find out what it is). My take on the post is a little different. Here are five things every business blogger does well.
1. Focuses on the Right Customer
Many blogs struggle with focus. It's important to narrow down the focus on your customer. I see it happen all the time. Bloggers will write about what interests them instead of what interests their customer. This can happen early on if a few posts get off topic and some traffic starts coming in but from the wrong people.
An example I'm thinking about is a Web design blog. The designer will write about topics that are interesting for designers, but the designer is not selling their services to other designers. This blogger needs to focus on business owners or business managers. In fact, it's even better to make the focus even more fine. Focus on small business owners at organizations with less than 10 employees that are in specific fields.
Narrow your focus and your blogging will not only improve, but you'll start attracting an audience that converts (see #5).
2. Experiments with Formats
This is a list post. Last week we wrote about list posts. They're really common, but the best business bloggers and the best bloggers in general will experiment with other formats. I've tried probably a dozen different formats here on the GBW blog. I'm still planning to try some different formats. I copy formats I see on my favorite blogs that I enjoy and I try variations on blogs I read. On occasion I'll get a little crazy and will try something completely against the grain. The reason this works is that best practices are only best practices because people have found success with them. But before best practices are established there were people experimenting. Find formats that work for you and use those, but continue to experiment because you still need to find something that's better.
3. Uses Controversy
It's hard to be controversial. For some it's easier than others, but for most it's difficult to take sides on issues because it means being offensive to some people. When you take sides and present controversies you get people riled up. Polarizing topics are traffic goldmines for bloggers. If you can take a side on a hot topic you can get traffic. Some people will love you while others will hate you. If you have thick skin it's a great way to get the people that love you to really love you (by giving you cash).
4. Has an Outreach Strategy
Blogging is not an isolated task. You need to create blog posts for your own blog, but if you want to grow your audience you need to do some outreach. This means building a social network on social sharing sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or a similar site. You can even use forums to leave comments or leave comments on the blogs you feel have similar customer targets. There is very little chance of having a successful blog without outreach because people won't know you exist. SEO is becoming less important so outreach is becoming even more important.
5. Remembers the Business Goals
Perhaps the most important thing about business blogging is remember the ultimate business goal of the blog. You shouldn't start blogging with a goal. For most blogs the goal is to create a long-term traffic and lead generation engine. Traffic comes from search, social and other referral sources. If this is the goal for your business then make sure you're writing posts that attract the right kind of traffic while writing in a way that turns that traffic into leads.
The way to do this is to write about what your target customer cares about most. Refer to #1 above. Also be sure to call those visitors to action on the post. The call to action can be subtle with a small Contact link on each page or it can be more direct like asking customers to call you at the end of each post.
You need to do these things in order to achieve your business blogging goals. It's something every great business blogger does well.

Last one out turns off the lights: closing a military base during the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
Setting the Scene
In 2003, my unit at the time, the 974th Quartermaster Company (Field Service), began a 16-month deployment to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. None of the Soldiers in my unit had ever experienced war firsthand, and we drew our expectations from what we had seen in the media. However, we quickly realized that the war we were in was vastly different from the war we watched from the comfort of our living rooms.
We arrived at Al Taqaddum Airbase, known as Forward Operating Base Ridgway at the time, and began to set up our shower and laundry services. Soldiers and Marines who had been part of the initial invasion had been eagerly awaiting our arrival because they wanted to take showers and clean their uniforms. On par with getting precious phone time to talk to family and loved ones, laundry was a key service that made these Soldiers and Marines smile and raised their morale.
We were served breakfast and dinner daily from a mobile kitchen trailer. For one month, a meal ready-to-eat (MRE), a plate of turkey, and a shotglass of Koolaid was our daily menu. These meager rations were commonplace at most bases in Iraq in 2003.
Looking around the base, I saw destroyed airplane hangars, bombed-out runways, displaced mortar rounds, and hollowed-out buildings. After the basic life support system was in place, the realization that we would be in Iraq for a while instigated contract after contract to improve the bases.
Months of base improvements resulted in the establishmet of a dining facility, an MWR center, a gym, a phone and Internet center, and other small pleasantries like air conditioning, windows, and doors. Recognizing that war is hell, the U.S. government used these upgrades to ensure that the morale of Soldiers was kept at the highest level possible. It was the start of our presence in Iraq, and our country made sure that Soldiers were taken care of by improving and building an infrastructure that could maintain units for many years.
Enjoying Established Bases
By 2009, it was rare for a large military installation in Iraq not to have either a Green Beans coffee shop or a Starbucks within its perimeter. Markets run by local nationals sold rugs, flags, and other trinkets. Essentially, if a Soldier wanted something within the limits of General Order 1A, he could easily find it on the base.
Throughout Iraq, the U.S. military built an infrastructure in order to sustain Soldiers' morale and make them as comfortable as possible during year-long deployments in a country where mortars and improvised explosive devices were the daily enemies.
Arriving at a base in Iraq after 2005 was a lot like moving to a desert base such as Fort Bliss, Texas, or Fort Irwin, Calif, except that you lived in a containerized housing unit (CHU), passed sandbags and bunkers on your way to work, carried a weapon on you at all times, and occasionally sought cover because of indirect fire hitting the base.
Closing COS Kalsu
In October 2011, President Barack Obama announced that all U.S. forces would leave the country by the end of the year. At that point, my unit, the 115th Brigade Support Battalion (BSB), received the mission to close down the contingency operating station (COS) for which I was mayor, COS Kalsu. The task was logistically challenging because the COS had expanded its infrastructure tremendously since 2003 and was home to more than 4,000 service members, contractors, and civilians. The difficulty was compounded by the fact that we were required to close the COS within three months.
COS Kalsu was located in Iskandariya, Iraq, about 20 miles south of Baghdad. More than 3,000 CHUs were spread throughout the base., and the heart of the base consisted of a large dining facility, Green Beans coffee shop, Pizza Hut trailer, AT&T call center, barber shop, beauty salon, rug shop, gym, MW.R facility, local-national market, and small post exchange (PX). After eight years of base improvements, my battalion was charged with playing a major role in closing down COS Ka1st' by handing over equipment and preparing the base for final turn over to the Government of Iraq (GOI).
The Convoy Support Center Mission
When President Obama announced the end of the mission in Iraq, many units stationed north of COS Kalsu immediately began executing redeployment operations. These units needed to transport all of their equipment to Kuwait, and COS Kalsu was in a prime location to serve as a convoy support center (CSC) for these convoys. It was located along the primary route used for the drawdown and still had all vital assets on hand to support units moving south.
Running the CSC became one of the priorities for the 115th BSB during the last 60 days of Operation New Dawn. On a typical day, 180 transient personnel were at COS Kalsu, and on days when battalion-sized units arrived, this number easily spiked to more than 600. To accommodate this many people, we expanded our transient living areas by rearranging some of our permanent party residents and blocking off a large section of CH Us. These actions effectively tripled the size of the transient living space.
We also had transient tents that could be used as overflow spaces at times when our resources were strained beyond capacity. These additional living spaces proved crucial when we received a 660-Soldier convoy in November. The pledge that the 115th BSB made to. transient units was for every Soldier to have a cot, a shower, and a hot meal before getting back on the road. Our battalion also provided fuel, maintenance, and medical services to every convoy.
The 115th BSB established a flow for incoming convoys to ensure that the CSC was efficient and beneficial to the transient personnel. When a convoy entered the Ironhorse Brigade's area of operations, the 115th BSB would send out a platoon to secure the highway and ensure that the entrance was clear and safe. As the convoys came onto the base, they were escorted to the weapons clearing barrels and then through two fuel points. They were then led to the staging area for accountability of equipment and personnel.
The 115th BSB ensured this area was stocked with cold water, and MREs were available for those passing through just for fuel. Units that stayed at Kalsu were given a short safety and orientation briefing to provide basic information about COS Kalsu, including hours of operation and locations for the base's amenities. After the briefing, they were escorted to their quarters and then released to eat, sleep, shower, and relax.
The 115th BSB kept in communication with the convoy leaders and Checked on them throughout the night to ensure they had everything they needed. The next morning, the battalion S-2 section gave a detailed intelligence brief to convoys about the current hot spots and historic trends on routes south of COS Kalsu as they prepared for their final push. Within two months, the CSC successfully facilitated the movement of more than 15,000 personnel to Kuwait.
All Services Must Go
The immediate questions we had when we first arrived at COS Kalsu were, "What needs to go?" and "When does it need to be gone?" The unit in control of COS Kalsu before us had conducted some of the preplanning. They had established a useful glide path that provided a realistic timeframe of base closure activities.
The contracting officer for 115th BSB was responsible for generating the memorandums required to close services at the COS. She quickly became well-versed in how to articulate whether we wanted to downgrade, eliminate, or transition a service to maintain basic life support.
Base Operating Support--Integrator (BOS--I) also played a key role in the closure of COS Kalsu. BUS--I assisted us in our monthly population counts, which played a vital role in preparing our exit flights and convoys during the final month of operations. These accurate counts helped us to identify groups of tenants who lived on the base but had no real purpose. As we began scrubbing this list, we were able to start removing these tenants, expediting the closure of the COS, and ensuring that there were enough nights and ground convoys to transport all personnel off the COS.
Dude, Where's Your NTV?
In addition to maintaining accurate population counts, one of BUS--I's biggest tasks was to transfer equipment and property to the GUI. The main goal for BUS--I was accounting for all of the nontactical vehicles (NTVs) at the COS and either turning them over to the GUI or removing them from COS Kalsu. The deadline for this task was mid-November, before the joint inventory between the base closure team and the receiving unit from the GUI. Some NTVs were sent to Kuwait for redistribution throughout the theater, while others were shipped back to the United States by their contracting company. Most, however, were kept at COS Kalsu to be transferred to the GUI as part of the base turnover.
Since arriving at COS Kalsu, the mayor cell's clerk had accounted for more than 400 NTVs at the COS. To ensure that every NTV was accounted for, I required that all NTVs be registered with the mayor cell. Vehicles that were not registered were not allowed to draw fuel from the COS fuel point and were eventually towed away to a secure NTV parking lot. Although this requirement frustrated some tenants, it was a critical step toward preparing equipment for turn-in or transfer to the G0I.
Goodbye Green Beans
The Green Beans coffee Shop at COS Kalsu offered Soldiers an oasis in which to escape from their daily routine. Closing down such an important part of the community was difficult for Soldiers. They traded their cups of freshly brewed house blend coffee for the less popular dining facility version. The closure of Green Beans and accompanying shops marked a milestone in the downsizing and turnover of the base.
Fortunately, the logistics behind closing these shops was not difficult because the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) executed the closure internally. However, the 115th BSB had the task of removimg the trailers that housed these businesses after they closed. AAFES identified a local buyer for the trailers, so the tasks were removing the barriers, coordinating lift support, and cordoning off the area around the trailers within a short window of time. After the trailers were removed, all that remained were a few wooden picnic tables and trash cans.
The small PX at the COS posed another challenge for Soldiers as the drawdown of services continued. The PX was a wooden building connected to the COS post office and finance office, and although it was not very large, the shelves were constantly stocked with all the necessities.
But as the deadline for its closure drew nearer, AAFES stopped ordering merchandise and eventually started to run out of the more popular items. Then, to expedite selling leftover merchandise, the entire store became a discount bin. Everything from video games to potato chips to shirts was on sale. It was truly an "everything must go" event that lasted for about two weeks.
Finally, with the cessation of services came the closing of the MWR center and gym. At the MWR, Soldiers could play pool, ping pong, board games, and video games 24 hours a day. During football season, it was common to see the couches and chairs completely packed in the middle of the night as tenants got together to watch their favorite teams play on one of two big-screen TVs.
The gym was also a highly visited area at COS Kalsu. Many Soldiers used the deployment as an opportunity to focus on physical fitness, and they quickly became regulars at the gym.. Closing those facilities was not easy on the Soldiers.
Leave It Better Than You Found It
Two of the mayor cell's final duties were ensuring that all of the buildings were clear of any sensitive information and military equipment and documenting the structural condition of each building. We photographed every square inch of the base as it stood before we departed. This mitigated the risk of U.S. forces being accused of leaving the base in an unfavorable condition.
Taking pictures of every building was a team effort, and our entire mayor cell took part in it. Walking through buildings to clear and certify them was a long process. We even went to the point of spray painting over anything that was marked on the walls and barriers. As I was spray painting over several paintings that displayed units' crests and their dates on Kalsu, I felt like I was erasing history, but it was important to turn over the base clear of any markings or unit insignias.
One thing that was never fully closed out at the COS was the civilian Internet services. Internet services were a huge moneymaker at the COS. Even though we had Internet in our offices to send emails to our families and could use the Internet cafe for free, most Soldiers were willing to pay $90 a month to have service in the privacy of their CHUs.
Internet services were provided by two contractors: Tigrisnet and GNC. The main provider, Tigrisnet, was responsible for more than 70 percent of the Internet at the COS. Tigrisnet was contracted through AAFES and was the more reliable of the two services. Tigrisnet outlets were installed in every CHU, and the speed was consistent and fast.
When Tigrisnet shut down services 45 days before the closure of the COS, GNC was the only provider available. GNC started to sell their wireless cards to tenants as they acquired the Internet monopoly on base and quadrupled their customers. However, GNC could not keep enough Internet cards on hand to meet the demand and also could not provide the advertised speed because of the spike in customers.
Almost immediately, Soldier after Soldier walked into the mayor cell to complain about the GNC Internet services. It got to the point that I had to have a mayor cell representative located at the Internet office nightly to help prevent any major issues from arising. Eventually, the Internet service provider was tired of the customer complaints so he opened up the service to the entire COS for free until our departure. Despite the trouble, his service was the sole reason that Soldiers were able to communicate online with their families up until base closure.
Can You Keep a Secret?
One of the hardest things to do during the transition was keep the official base closure date secret. Because the COS would be at its most vulnerable on its closure date, we could not reveal the date to anyone. Even KBR contractors could not be in the room when the date was mentioned. Although the date changed several times, we knew roughly when we would be saying goodbye to COS Kalsu for good.
Finally, it was decided that COS Kalsu's closure date would be Dec. 12, 2011. With a confirmed date, we were able to implement an aggressive deception plan to cloud any chance of someone piecing together information to discover the closure date. We advertised that an awards ceremony would be held on Dec. 15 and a soccer tournament would be held on Dec. 19. Soccer uniforms and a trophy were even purchased for the soccer tournament from a vendor at the local-national market.
The deception plan appeared to have worked because no significant enemy activities occurred at COS Kalsu before we left. Other bases nearing their known closure dates were attacked and suffered U.S. and Iraqi casualties. The safeguarding of our final date may have been one of the most vital successes of the base closure.
Final Departure
In the end, a base that had been continually improved and upgraded for more than eight years was gone within three months. What was once a base populated with more than 4,000 Soldiers and contractors had dwindled to a population of nearly 500 Soldiers, with more and more leaving every day.
Maj. William Navarro and a member of the GOI signed the transfer paperwork just before the last members of 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, lst Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, closed COS Kalsu on Dec. 12. It was the fourth-to-last base closed in Iraq. Four days later, Contingency Operating Base Adder closed and the mission in Iraq came to an official end.
The events that took place at COS Ka1st' are just one story of many that came out of the responsible drawdown of U.S. forces in Iraq. In the words of T.S. Eliot, it ended "not with a bang but a whimper," and everyone on Kalsu could not have asked for anything more.

Arizona DUI enforcement nets 582 arrests
A four-day statewide DUI enforcement crackdown netted more arrests using less law officers than last year's Labor Day weekend clampdown, statistics show.
Police arrested 582 people on suspicion of DUI from Aug. 28-Sept. 1, according to statistics compiled by the Governor's Office of Highway Safety. That's 79 more than last year, or about a 16 percent increase.
"Even though we went down in total fatalities in Arizona from 2012-2013, still we see DUI arrests are up," said Alberto Gutier, office director. "The problem is some people think, 'It's not going to happen to me.' "
Of those arrested, the average blood alcohol content was .145, the same as 2013, numbers show. DUIs in which authorities suspected drug use increased about 21 percent from last year to 103.
"We have medical marijuana and a lot of people think it's OK (to drive because) they have a card," Gutier said. "Well, not if you're impaired."
Task forces caught more people driving under the influence using about 16 percent fewer officers and deputies than in 2013, when roughly 2,000 participated, numbers show. They also made 22 percent fewer stops than last year, when law enforcement had contact with roughly 13,500 drivers on Arizona roads, numbers show.
Gutier attributed the drops to agencies having fewer personnel and the number of resources used for back-to-back weekends of Safe and Sober campaigns at Arizona Sate University.
"That took a lot of officers," he said. "Not every agency had enough dollars to be able to cover everything that we asked them to."
But the categories with the biggest increases from 2013 were liquor citations issued to people under 21 and total designated drivers.
The number of under-21 citations increased 600 percent from last year to 218, statistics show. Gutier said the spike was due to increased awareness about underage drinking because of Safe and Sober.
Officers also encountered a third more designated drivers compared to last year, numbers show. The number of designated drivers increased 129 to 483.
"When I see those numbers rise, it makes my day," Gutier said.

So, I've just been listening and reading a bit from Tanya Geisler. One part was…what person do you want to be? The other part was…start starring your role.
I want to feel comfy and happy with my health – to stop receiving diagnoses and degenerating. That will be sooo wonderful. To be able to put my health to one side a bit and to be able to have inner freedom to live comfortably. To let go of fear for my future and trust that I will cope with each progression. Hmmm it's a big ask.
The second part is an interesting thought, especially if I place myself back within my acting days – an interesting angle for me to think about. I'm to put on my acting mind and realise that I'm the starring role and to bring my character alive. The task is to carry out a life of a person whom lives with and overcomes these health hurdles. Also to feel internal acceptance, to have fun and believe in life. Maybe the Stanislavski Method is worth a try…however is acting the way to live?

Good StuffHelena on March 31, 2014 in Misc 10 Comments »
This week I've got one old piece of good stuff for you and one new piece. First the old….
This last week I came across a fact about Mark Twain that made me feel good. Did you know Twain had trouble becoming a full-time, professional writer? He'd been slogging away as a reporter in San Francisco and Hawaii (okay, Hawaii was a blast for him), but his writing gigs still didn't pay enough and he was poor and in debt. That's when he wondered if he should go on the lecture circuit. What he had in mind was to give a humorous presentation about his experiences in Hawaii. His writer friends were dead set against this and insisted it would ruin his literary reputation. His former newspaper boss asked him, "Which do you need most at present, money or literary reputation?" Twain answered "Money!"
So Twain went on the stage and became a kind of traveling nineteenth century stand-up comic. And thus a great American writer was born. Not with a lucrative publishing deal or a bestseller, but with personal appearances that gave him enough fame and money to launch his book career. In other words, he established a platform first, a very distinct public persona, and THEN he wrote his books.
Maybe this isn't good new for me after all. All these years I've been concentrating on just writing. Ah, dang!
The other good–no, WONDERFUL–piece of news is that Hart Johnson's newest cozy mystery KEEPING MUM is out. Having read her first two books in this series, I can tell you that I'm eager to read the latest adventure of Cam Harris and her pals as they rush to solve another brain-teasing murder. There will be drama. There will be humor. There will be lots of colorful characters with suspicious behavior….
See, Roanoke, Virginia, may seem civilized and lovely, but underneath the flowery surface lurks lust and jealousy and anger and greed, and all kinds of other motivations that make bad people off other people. KEEPING MUM is written under Hart's pen name Alyse Carlson, and it's available everywhere. I bought it at my local bookstore, 'cause I'm an old fashioned woman who loves my indie shops.
And of course stop by to say hi to Hart at her always entertaining blog, Confessions of a Watery Tart. (Sorry I can't make the link work. I'm still trying figure out my latest version of Word Press.)
Have any good news yourself this last week, or coming up? I'd love to hear about it.

It's been 2 1/2 months since Cass started consuming Izumio hydrogen water to treat her incontinence and I am still very pleased with the results.
Cass has reduced the usage of diapers by more than half since she consumed Izumio. She only wears them when she is in school, when we are out for long outings and when she sleeps at night. During the day at home, she is completely off diapers. Before she started consuming Izumio, she had to be diapered 24 hours a day. She had severe involuntary urine dribbling. According to her doctor, this is one of the symptoms of a patient with high grade kidney reflux. The kidney reflux problem has since been fixed with a surgery at 13 months old. This could also be that the nerves and muscles of her urinary tract are weakened as a result of 2 major surgeries when she was still a baby with delicate organs, nerves and muscles still growing. The surgeons whom she is seeing cannot pinpoint what exactly is wrong internally that's causing the incontinence though Cass had gone through a battery of invasive tests.
Today, she accomplished yet another milestone in her journey to recovery!
We had wanted to go to Mid Valley Megamall for shopping but the traffic into Mid Valley was horrendous! We spent over an hour stuck in the traffic and had to detour as all the entrance points into Mid Valley Megamall and Gardens were FULL. So I drove to Bangsar and went to BSC instead. All the while in the car, I kept asking Cass if she had leaked and if she felt like peeing and she said NO.
Cass was off diapers and only wore a regular pad today. I normally get her to put on a diaper when we are out. Today, I wanted her to break the norm and move on to be diaper-free when we go out. She has to start somewhere and I chose today.
When we finally reached BSC, I quickly brought her to the washroom to ease herself. I was delighted when I saw that the pad was dry though she had held on for over an hour! Then we went to have lunch and 1.5 hours later, I brought her to the washroom again. What a joy when I saw that the pad was still dry! If you have a child who has battled with bladder problems all her life, seeing a dry pad would mean A LOT to you! The joy is immeasurable!
In the past before Cass started to consume Izumio, she would soak through a 42cm long pad and the pee would seep onto the underwear in just 20 minutes. What she has accomplished today is indeed a very big mile stone. Previously, the urine leakage would be even worse whenever we were out shopping and had to walk a fair bit. Any rapid movement of her legs would exacerbate the leakage. I wouldn't say that there is a 100% healing yet as I know that Cass' bladder muscles and nerves are still weak but they are definitely on the road to recovery. Based on my own observation, there is a 60-70% recovery now. We still have a lot to work on together to strengthen her muscles, nerves and sphincters.
I believe that her muscles, nerves and sphincters were in a 'comatose' state but were revived when she started to drink Izumio hydrogen water.
Hydrogen is the smallest atom in the world that can penetrate your cells at a mitochondrial level and has strong anti-oxidant properties, eliminating free radicals within your body at enormous rates.
1. Hydrogen is the smallest atom in the chemical chart making it perfect for accessing the deepest darkest parts of the body (mitochondrial cells) where others cannot reach. Every chromosome, amino acid and protein block in our bodies need Hydrogen to build good quality cells.
2. Hydrogen is required by our bodies for organ function. We get it from the air, from water, from food. But less from food because when cooked, there is hardly any hydrogen left. Hydrogen from the air we breathe dissipates quickly. The body needs Hydrogen in ion form. Water is our best source of it.
3. But now there is Hydrogen water – and Izumio has the HIGHEST Hydrogen levels in the world compared to any other Hydrogen product and the Miracle water from Lourdes, France, etc. It is proven that Hydrogen rich water is essential to building good, healthy cells and is also capable of balancing the pH within the body.
As I believe that Cass has weak muscles and sphincters, I am trying my best to get her to do exercises everyday.
I get her to do brisk walking everyday, indoors. On days when I have the time, I jump with her on the trampoline. When she jumps, she has a strong urge to pee. Heck, I feel the same too! In fact, after 3 C-section births and a short period of incontinence after the birth of Cass, I have a rather weak bladder too. So we jump together on the trampoline and encourage each other to work out our muscles and bladders too.
… and watch the TV while we jump to beat boredom.
You can email email@example.com to find out more about the products that Cass is consuming.

Given the company's partnership with The Masters and its Watson artificial intelligence platform, it was only a matter of time before IBM partnered with Tom Watson.
For this year's annual golf competition at Augusta National Golf Club, IBM — the official technology partner of the Masters — is teaming up with the golf legend as he competes in his final Masters tournament.
IBM Watson, the company's cognitive technology platform, will be spotlighted in new advertisements that run this week which feature an analysis of Tom Watson's Masters performance through the years. The idea is to show golf fans how IBM's technology can be used to garner deep insights from on-the-course performance.
Augusta National officials will also use a "Watson Social Media Command Center" to measure trends from social media about the tournament to identify popular topics that fans are chatting about.
This isn't the first time IBM Watson has integrated with the golf world. Last year, IBM partnered with Seattle startup Spare5 to provide advice to golfers, with IBM Watson analyzing a golf swing and delivering relevant information.
IBM, which is celebrating its 20th year partnering with The Masters and also does similar work for the U.S. Open, is also rolling out an Apple Watch and Android Wear app for fans to track the action this weekend from their wrists. The smartwatch app will feature a leaderboard, player details, and other real-time data.
For the first time, the smartphone apps (iOS and Android for smartphone and tablets) this year will include IBM's Track feature, which utilizes lasers set up on each fairway and green at Augusta that track the position of a player's ball. This real-time data is funneled into an aerial map of each hole that lets viewers see how a given player navigated his way around the course. There are also new picture-in-picture and player comparison features for the iPad app and on desktop.
In addition, The Masters will offer a 4K video feed of "Amen Corner" — holes 11, 12, and 13 — for the first time to those with compatible TVs or DirecTV. IBM noted that this is the first sporting event with live streaming in 4K.
There is also a virtual reality feed — NextVR, California-based startup that continues to push forward with sports-related virtual reality broadcasts, is setting up cameras on holes 6 and 16 that will give viewers a virtual front row seat at Augusta. You can access the feed via the NextVR app in the Oculus Home app store for Samsung Gear VR devices. It will be similar to what we experienced at the U.S. Open this past summer.
Finally, IBM is also again powering Masters.com, which is one of the more impressive sporting event websites with a sleek array of photos, video, live HD video feeds, infographics, and related content. You can check out how the Masters.com homepage has evolved since 1996 here.

Fishing at the Port
A public fishing pier at the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor provides for handicap accessible fishing in the bright blue waters of Lake Michigan. The public fishing area was constructed as part of partnership between the Ports of Indiana and Indiana Department of Natural Resources to provide Hoosier anglers with a dedicated area to fish with nearby restroom facilities and a handicap accessible pier. Fishing is not permitted in other areas of the port and recreational vessels are not allowed inside the harbor. Public access to the port and the fishing area may be limited at times due to safety or security reasons.
For safety and security reasons, public access and fishing are not permitted on the docks, barges, equipment, waterfront and other port facilities along the Ohio River.
More information about fishing on Indiana's waterways is available through the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Fish and Wildlife.

my head's climbing those silver stairs again
...Those drum taps had a warm 'heart monitor' vibe, as they dripped through like melted plastic, slow n luxurious full of delayed ebb... Everything was serene; an esoteric exercise in capture and release as Charlie constantly fed the mix with more ingredients, alternating between guitar, violin and chant. At one point everything was full of tribal respiration, flirting with slightly noisier perspectives, at others, all Georgian or Madrigal, those harmonising poly-spirals of voice feeding off each other, making gorgeous shivers across the psyche. A ghosting of language, all distant, tapping into something ancient, cryptic yet remaining vulnerable, like just breathing would shatter it all… Invada really need to release this girl's work like yesterday...

The hepatitis A outbreak in Hawaii that is linked to raw scallops imported from the Philippines has increased to 271 people sick. That is an increase of 19 new cases in the last week. All of those sickened have been adults. Sixty-eight people have been hospitalized because their illnesses are so severe. Onset of illness dates have ranged from 6/12/16 to 9/4/16.
Investigators found the hepatitis A virus in raw Sea Port Bay Scallops from the Philippines that were served at Genki Sushi restaurants on Oahu and Kauai. The scallops were imported by Kohn Oriental Foods and distributed in that state. The scallops have been embargoed and are no longer being sold.
But the incubation period of this illness is quite long, up to 50 days, and is easily spread person to person. That means this outbreak will most likely continue to grow for a while, especially since an infected person is contagious for two weeks before symptoms appear, so they will continue to go to work and school. And some people who are infected never show any symptoms at all.
The symptoms of a hepatitis A infection include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite, fever, muscle aches, dark urine, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and clay-colored stools. Most people recover on their own after this infection, but it can take months to return to normal and chronic tiredness can be a problem. Those who are most likely to suffer complications from this illness include the elderly and anyone with a chronic illness or especially liver disease.
If you experience these symptoms, especially if you ate at Genki Sushi restaurants before August 15, 2016, see your doctor. People who ate there before that date could still show symptoms as late as October 5, 2016.
The best way to prevent the spread of this illness is to practice good hygiene. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the bathroom, after changing diapers, and after taking care of someone who is ill. Always wash your hands well before preparing food for other or serving food to others. And stay home from work or school if you are sick.
