From the beginning, people around me talked nonstop about the end.
How long could Donald Trump's presidency possibly last? Would impeachment or the 25th Amendment undo him? Before Trump, few of us even knew of the 25th Amendment, which allows the vice president and a majority of the cabinet to decree the president unfit. But suddenly everybody was up to speed, and no sooner had Trump been inaugurated than the "would you rather" question du jour became him versus Mike Pence. All-purpose lunacy or religious zeal: Choose your governance. Pick your poison.
Part of this, yes, reflected the company I keep. It doesn't brim with Trump enthusiasts. But more of this came down to Trump himself — the lidless grandiosity, the bottomless vulgarity, the lies atop lies upon lies. I'll never forget his second day in office, not just because he used an appearance at the C.I.A. to crow at great length about his many Time magazine covers and to insist, despite ready evidence to the contrary, that any beef of his with intelligence agencies was a media invention. It stays with me because of a text message I received from a journalist who covers him as well as any other, understands him better and was utterly flabbergasted by that display.
"We're all going to die," it said. While there was jest and hyperbole in that, there was also genuine alarm and the dark realization that Trump would not be transmogrified by the oath of office into anything approaching a dignified, responsible statesman. No, his extra power was just making him extra mean, and what we saw before Nov. 8 was what we got from Jan. 20 onward: a child in a man's suit, a knave in a knight's armor, a dangerous experiment with unforeseeable consequences.
They're more seeable now. As of Thursday, July 20, Trump will have inhabited the presidency for a full six months, and we can reach certain conclusions with a measure of confidence.
No one can yet say how or when it ends. His dim namesake's antics, evasions and omissions have reinvigorated talk of impeachment, but Republican lawmakers' statements last week don't support that scenario. With rare exception, the sternest words came from the most predictable quarters and hardly rose to the level of revolt. Maybe that's a relief. Can you imagine Trump, with his thin skin and martyr complex, in the throes of impeachment? He'd wail and thrash and tear down everything around him. I mean, more than now.
We have to stop rolling our eyes when he brags about how much he has done, because he's right. He has done plenty.
With his stances on climate change, trade and refugees and with all the air kisses blown at Vladimir Putin, he has altered our place in the world and splintered its postwar framework. Don't be reassured by the recent pleasantries between him and Emmanuel Macron: Much of Western Europe is reeling from what it considers a surrender of American leadership. This, post-Trump, may be reparable. But I wonder if our sturdiest allies will ever feel quite the same way about this country again.
With his first Supreme Court appointment, he showed what he would almost surely do with a second and third: fully indulge the social conservatives who are one of the most dependable components of his base. If he lasts a full term and the Senate remains, as is likely, in Republican hands after the 2018 midterms, he could leave behind a court that leans sharply to the right for a generation to come.
With his sloppiness, scandals and inner circle of arrogant neophytes, he is frittering away time. That's hardly a singular accomplishment, but we can't afford more government paralysis and procrastination. Infrastructure that's no longer competitive (or safe), a tax code crying out for revision, a work force without the right skills: When do we fix this? How far behind do we fall?
And what, in the meantime, happens to Americans' already shriveled faith in Washington? Trump's election reflected many voters' exasperation with the status quo and sense of permanent estrangement from some gilded clique of winners. He was their pyrrhic retort. How much hotter will their anger burn when they realize they got played?
I'm more likely to win a season of "The Bachelorette" than he is to build that incessantly promised wall. His professed disdain for Wall Street was a campaign-season pose, abandoned the minute he started assembling his administration. Health care that's better, cheaper and more universal? Oh, please.
It's possible that Trump's fans will never blame him, because of one of his most self-serving and corrosive feats: the stirring of partisanship and distrust of institutions into the conviction that there's no such thing as objective truth. There are only rival claims. There are always "alternative facts." Charges of mere bias are the antiquated weapons of yesteryear; "fake news" is the new nullifier, and it's a phrase so dear to him that his unprincipled acolytes are building on it. Last week a Trump adviser, Sebastian Gorka, lashed out at the "fake news industrial complex." Trump reportedly swooned.
What happens to a democracy whose citizens not only lose common ground but also take a match to the idea of a common reality? Thanks in part to Trump, we may find out. He doesn't care about civility or basic decency, and even if he did, he lacks the discipline to yoke his actions to any ideals. The Democratic strategist Doug Sosnik expressed it perfectly, telling me, "His presidency is what happens when you have road rage in the Oval Office."
I was just 9 when Richard Nixon resigned and a teenager during the Jimmy Carter years. I began paying close attention only with Ronald Reagan. He and every one of his successors bent the truth, to varying degrees. He and every successor had a vanity that sometimes ran contrary to the public good. But none came close to Trump in those regards.
None shrugged off conflicts of interest the way he does. None publicly savaged women (and men) based on their looks or supposed cosmetic surgery. None made gloating a trademark of his public discourse. Two scoops for Trump, one for everybody else. He's president and you're not. The pettiness radiates outward, as does the viciousness and lack of ethics — to his lawyers, to his kin. And it's more than just coarse spectacle. It's an assault on what it means to be president and what the presidency means. The injury to the office won't be quick to heal.
I can't shake two incidents in particular. A few weeks before his inauguration, Trump tweeted a New Year greeting that was, instead, a spitball thrown at anyone who hadn't genuflected before him. Last month, he coaxed his cabinet members to kiss his ring as the television cameras rolled. Those grotesque bookends affirmed that he is changeless and that he rules as he lives, for Trump and Trump alone.
Still I try for optimism: We won't all die.
But suffer? Count on it.

Emergency ExpulsionsEmergency Expulsions Anonymous (not verified) December 17, 2018 - 11:40am
Note: This information is from our manual, Discipline in Public Schools.
How long can an emergency expulsion last?
No more than 10 consecutive school days. If the district decides that the student should be given another kind of discipline at any time during or at the end of an emergency expulsion, then the district has to give notice and due process rights again.
What are my child's basic rights if they are emergency expelled?
The district must have a good reason to believe that the student poses an immediate and continuing danger to other students or staff, or a threat of substantial disruption to the school. Regardless of whether a student or parent requests a hearing, the emergency expulsion can only last up to 10 school days. At that point, the school either has to "convert" the emergency expulsion to another form of discipline, or have the student return to school.
Is there a right to notice and appeal before an emergency expulsion?
No. For emergency expulsions, schools can send students home first, and give notice and the opportunity for a hearing after that.
What kind of notice and appeal process is there for an emergency expulsion?
Schools have to give students and their parents notice in writing. The notice must be hand-delivered to you within 24 hours of the expulsion. The district has to document delivery of the notice by getting the parent's signature, or by a written certification of the person who delivers the notice. A district could also send the notice by certified mail. If they do use certified mail, the district also has to try to notify the student and parent by telephone or in person as soon as reasonably possible. The notice should be in your primary language if you have limited English proficiency. In the notice, the school has to explain:
- The reasons why the student's presence poses an immediate and continuing danger to students, school staff, or a threat of substantial disruption to the school;
- The date the emergency expulsion began and will end;
- The right of the student and parents to request a hearing;
- The 3 day deadline for you to request a hearing after you get the notice (3 school business days, which doesn't count weekends or holidays); and
- An explanation that if you do not request a hearing within that 3 day timeline, that the district can consider that a waiver of your right to the hearing.
For information on what the appeal process is like for an emergency expulsion, see the section on Discipline Hearings (starting at p.42).
Should my child be getting educational supports during an emergency expulsion?
Yes. Similar to short-term suspensions, if the removal is expected to last for 5 days or less, your child should at least get their classwork, and access to someone who can help make sure they are getting assignments and the work they need. If they will be out for a full 10 days, then someone from the school should reach out to you to help make sure your child is getting the work and assignments they need in order to keep up. That person should also help make sure the work your child completes gets back to the teacher for grading. Check with the school for the name and contact information of the person who can help your child keep up with assignments and classes.

...I want to know how that joke would end now. Maybe make suggestions in the comments? I now have the camera back, which means I can now show you everything I've been working on recently, starting with the Dwarf I finished last week. I painted him to look like he's from Erebor as it's shown in the films, hence the green marble base and the dark coloured clothing to match the appearance of the Grim Hammers. I've also added the dwarf standard bearer to the gallery here, so do take a look.
Recently I've been working on the Palace Guard, with the result that I've now finished painting the red areas. I wanted to use red rather than the green shown in the Desolation of Smaug to give the model an autumn feel, and to help tie him in with Thranduil through the shared colour. The model's starting to near completion now, as there are only a few areas of colour left, such as the browns and the silvery cloak (which will also help link him to Thranduil).
I've now finished off the armour of the Mirkwood palace guard which I showed you last week. Having already basecoated him so that the armour changed colour, I now applied wash of Scorched Brown (old colour names) to pick out the smaller details. This seems to have worked very well, since the armour changes colour but still with shading between the scales of his mail, for example.
Palace guard update
Over the last week or so I've been rethinking how I'm planning on painting the Mirkwood palace guards. Following the previous picture I tried highlighting the armour, however it turned out looking a bit subdued, so I started again with the basecoat, and the results this time look far more promising I think.
Thranduil's elite
I've been making some progress on Thranduil's palace guards for a while now, and as a result the first one's now at a stage where I can show you him. I'm trying to avoid using too much line highlighting on these models since I have a fair number of them to get through, and so all of this has been done using washes. I'm planning on having finished the gold by next week so I'll be able to show you more then.
The King of Mirkwood
I now have the camera back again, but in the meantime I've finished painting Thranduil. There wasn't really that much left to do, and I was able to complete him in a single sitting (it was just the crown and the sword). I'll be adding Thranduil to the gallery as soon as I get a chance, but next up is a box of Mirkwood Palace Guards, who I'll be painting in similar colours to Thranduil but with a bit more gold on their armour.
Work on Thranduil continues (although unfortunately I don't have a camera at the moment, so you'll have to wait for pictures I'm afraid), and I've now completely finished painting the robes and face, meaning there's not that much left to do. All that's left is his hair and crown, and the sword (I'll be painting his rings at the same time as this, since they're a silver colour too). I expect everything will be done in the next week or so, which will make Thanduil the first completed model this year.
Firstly, it's this blog's first anniversary, so thank you all for reading! I've done a count up and I've painted 10 models this past year, which breaks down into 5 single miniatures and a squad of 5 Grey Knights. If there's one thing I'm hoping for the website this year, it's more people commenting and giving feedback on the models I post. Secondly, I've been making a bit more progress on Thranduil over the last week or so, and his inner robes are now finished.
Thanduil update - Base finished
First things first, I'd like to wish you all a very merry Christmas! Secondly, I've been doing some more painting on Thranduil, whose base is now completed. I'm incredibly pleased with how it's turned out, despite the fact that it took several days to finish. Most of that time was taken up painting the inlaid gold patterns, which ended up needing several attempts before I was happy with them.
Thranduil update
Firstly, sorry about the lack of updates recently, I was in Oxford for interview! While I got back last week, I've been fairly busy catching up with stuff I missed. I finally got my hands on the new model of Thranduil (thanks to the wonderful Games Workshop Oxford), and so progress can continue. I also have some superglue now, so I've finished assembling and basing the model, and I can start painting soon.
About me
My name is Chris Nelson, I'm a hobbyist. I started around eight years ago with Lord of the Rings as my first system, however I prefer painting to gaming.

What moves the L-758D DigitalMaster to the head of the class is that it's the only meter which can be calibrated to read light the way your particular camera system reads light.
Every camera system is unique. Optical, mechanical and imaging components all act on each other to produce slight differences in exposure and the dynamic range of the camera system. Sekonic helps you discover the differences in your camera system and use this information to control light, make better exposures and take better pictures than ever before.
By running an easy calibration test using Sekonic's L-758D, one of Sekonic's Exposure Profile Targets (purchased separately) and the included Data Transfer Software (Mac & Windows), you can accurately profile the characteristics of your camera's imaging system to determine its true native ISO, dynamic range and clipping points.
After processing the test data and determining exposure parameters, the resulting data is uploaded from your computer via the USB cable to the meter, where it is stored as camera profiles. Profiling data from up to three cameras can be stored in your meter for instant recall.

Epiphany 6A, 12 February 2017
Matthew 5.21–37
The Uniting Church acknowledges that the Church has received the books of the Old and New Testaments as unique prophetic and apostolic testimony, in which it hears the Word of God and by which its faith and obedience are nourished and regulated.
Basis of Union, para. 5
The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people. ― Richard J. Foster, Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth
We've got unfinished business from last week, and it's not about cooking with salt.
It is about last week's reading though. We didn't look at the whole thing.
After his words that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world, Jesus said,
Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfil… (Matthew 5.17)
What does Jesus mean about not abolishing the law, but fulfilling it?
Some people concentrate on not abolishing the law. Let me tell you about someone I knew at school.
When I was at school, one of the lads in our class was a Seventh-Day Adventist.
Seventh-Day Adventists have a very strong witness of keeping the law as it is written in the Bible. Yet much as I may admire them, I respectfully disagree with them.
My schoolfriend and I had a lot of conversations about which day should we worship, Saturday or Sunday; and whether we should eat bacon. (Now, I'm a bacon fan! Don't try to convert me to a religion that bans bacon. It won't work.)
I can't remember all the details anymore, but my friend would have looked at this verse and said that Jesus had not come to abolish the law; therefore, Christians should obey the Old Testament laws. To the letter.
That meant keeping the Sabbath. On Saturdays only. And no sneaky bacon sandwiches behind the bike sheds.
The Gospel of Matthew presents us with a Jesus who does not abandon the law. Yet Matthew also says Jesus has come to fulfil the law. More than that, he says
unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
What does that mean? How can our righteousness exceed that of people who spent their lives searching how to obey the law?
Was my school friend right? Do we need to follow the Old Testament law to the letter? Not only a life with no bacon, but let me add—no prawns either?
Today's reading shows us how Jesus fulfils the law; it is by deepening its meaning, by drawing it down into our hearts. But first, let's just stay with last week's Gospel just for a moment.
What does Jesus say again?
Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfil…
The prophets are in there too. What does Jesus mean by mentioning 'the prophets'?
In many instances, 'the prophets' took the law of Israel and deepened it. They interpreted the law for their day.

Finding the privilege eBook peruser (additionally called eReaders) can be troublesome.

So on the off chance that you have an extensive gathering to import, FBReader can deal with it. It accompanies some fundamental theming choices for pages too, for example, sepia and wood.

If the term "family-friendly dining" fills you with horror, Los Angeles's Au Fudge restaurant plans to change all that. "My journey with Au Fudge began long before I became a mother," says actress-turned-restaurateur Jessica Biel of her new venture. "I approached this business from the perspective of what someone without kids would want in their favorite restaurant." Now mother to a 10-month-old baby boy, Biel, along with her partners—a group that includes A-list stylist-turned–interior designer Estee Stanley; children's author Kimberly Muller; and Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop founder, chef Jonathan Rollo—felt there was a distinct lack of chic, family-friendly restaurants that offered seasonal, organic, and locally sourced ingredients; thoughtful childcare; and great cocktails to boot. Or to put it bluntly: "We saw a hole in the marketplace for fine-dining experiences that don't exclude people who happen to have children," says Stanley.
What has transpired is a thoroughly charming space that is equal parts whimsy and common sense. From the plush unicorn head mounted over the dining room entrance, gingham-covered dining chairs, and sconces made out of bowler hats, to the healthy-yet-indulgent menu targeted to overwrought parents and children alike, to the Mary Poppins–like, Giambattista Valli–clad au pairs who can whisk off said children (once they have finished their vegetable-dyed Rainbow Spaghetti With Magic Sauce) to the Creative Space for an art project while you linger over your All Day Omelet With Caviar, every care has been taken to please both parent and child. Even perpetually bored tweens can amuse themselves with the vintage arcade games, take selfies in the photo booth, or build their own custom sundae from the old-school Au Fudge ice cream cart.
While the restaurant currently serves only brunch, lunch, and dinner, for those still on a frequent feeding schedule, a little café and retail shop in the front of the space opens at 8:00 a.m., offering strong Vittoria coffee and a retail space brimming with eco-friendly toys and organic, all-natural, and dye-free pastries and baked goods. "It's important what you put in your body and where the ingredients came from, and it's especially important when you are making those decisions for another person," says Biel of the concept. "I wanted to be able to go to a place that I could trust in terms of where they sourced their produce down to the chemicals they used to clean the tables." Au Fudge is therefore also the Environmental Media Association's first Green Seal restaurant with a Best Practices Award across the categories of food; waste management; water and energy efficiency; chemical and pollution reduction; and sustainable construction, materials, and furnishings.
"It's been amazing to come full circle," says Biel of the restaurant, which officially opens March 4. "Finally a place where you can go—regardless of being single, married, or having a family in tow—and everyone will have fun here."
So what's Jessica's favorite thing on the menu? The cheekily named First Base Cocktail. Here's how to make it yourself.
1.5 oz. of your favorite vodka
0.75 oz. lemon juice
0.25 oz. fresh ginger syrup and 0.25 oz. demerara sugar syrup
1 oz. muddled strawberries
1 oz. sparkling white wine
1 sprig lemon thyme to garnish
Mix the vodka, lemon juice, syrups, and strawberries in a cocktail shaker. Pour into a chilled glass with the sparkling wine and garnish with lemon thyme.)

While there are several terms used in law, " detainer " is one word that is not widely understood by most people. A detainer is mostly concerned with criminal law and is applied when a person already in custody is held further sometimes due to a pending charge. More clearly stated, a detainer is a request ( written or statement) to hold further a criminal defendant.
This request is mostly filed by a criminal justice agency connected to the institution in which the prisoner is incarcerated. The prisoner is either held for the agency, or the institution notifies the agency upon the impending release of the prisoner. What a detainer proposes to the prisoner is this; that as soon as the original period of incarceration elapses, there will be a continued institutionalization.
How does a detainer affect a prisoner?
Certain credits such as some months off for participating in certain training programs are given to prisoners. The emergence of a detainer for a prisoner immediately rids the prisoner of any of such credits, it also fills the prisoner with devastation, anxiety and apprehension. This, in turn, obstructs the prisoners' journey to rehabilitation as he rarely is affected by his training programs.
Can an attorney help with a detainer?
The good news here is this; the presence of a competent attorney can cancel the presence of a detainer on a prisoner. The attorney's knowledge of such pending charges upon which a detainer is placed on his client is very crucial at this point. The competent attorney can have these charges dismissed or disposed of. Thus, the institution then clears all pending charges on the prisoner, and the prisoner is free to go as soon as the period of incarceration elapses.
While the knowledge that a detainer has been placed on a prisoner can bring about much gloom and sadness to the prisoner, the knowledge that there exists a competent attorney to help dismiss the detainer is usually one which carries with it so much hope and joy.

I suppose that Sarah Palin saying she is indeed pondering a 2012 run at the White House isn't terribly big news. But that's what she told a writer for the New York Times Magazine in an interview — conducted two days after the midterm elections for a 7,800-word profile, due out Sunday.
So what did the New York Times magazine do with that "scoop"?
If your answer was, "Sit on it for two weeks and then give it to Politico before putting the story online," well, you're right!
Mike Allen reports:
Palin spoke for close to an hour by phone with the article's author, Robert Draper, two days after the midterm elections. Draper, who strongly suggests she appears to be running for president in 2012, asked her if she was already weighing the race.
"I am," Palin replied. "I'm engaged in the internal deliberations candidly, and having that discussion with my family, because my family is the most important consideration here."
According to Politico, the Times is planning to post the article, "The Palin Network: How the G.O.P.'s leading shadow candidate runs her guerilla organization," on Wednesday.
As of 8:45 a.m. (ET), they had not. (UPDATE: It's online now.)
By the way, if you're wondering if Palin mentioned "lamestream media" in her hour-long chat with the Times — she did!
"That's the most frustrating thing for me — the warped and perverted description of my record and what I've accomplished over the last two decades," Palin told Draper.
"It's been much more perplexing to me than where the lamestream media has wanted to go about my personal life. And other candidates haven't faced these criticisms the way I have. … I'm on television nearly every single day with reporters … Now granted, that's mainly through my job at Fox News, and I'm very proud to be associated with them, but I'm not avoiding anything or anybody. I'm on Facebook and Twitter. I'm out there."

These days, I find it's a requirement for vendors to provide operational status pages on their services. I say this because I know there are many companies who aren't yet on-board. Status pages give your customers an immediate answer to the question, "What's going on with X site?" or "Why does Y service seem slow today?"
A status page could be as simple as some of the third-party magic eight balls out there like Down For Everyone Or Just Me. But an effective status page will give more information than "yes" or "no", and will communicate:
- Is the service or site down?
- How long has it been down?
- What is being done to fix it?
- When is the service expected to be back up?
Oh, and it probably warrants stating that you shouldn't run these status pages on the same infrastructure that runs your site/service. If your servers, network, etc. go out of service, you want to be sure that your customers can still reach your status page.
Let's get on to some examples:
Status page for Amazon's Web Services which shows a separate status display for each of their infrastructure services. There are RSS feeds available for each service allowing you to subscribe to monitor service outages. One thing I like about this page is the "report an issue" link on the page, especially since it doesn't require to to have your login credentials to quickly note an issue.
Similar in format to Amazon's status page, this one also includes a running history of when the last issues occurred.
status.mosso.com and status.dreamhost.com
Status pages for Mosso and Dreamhost are fairly similar, they are both simple blogs. Support techs post issues when they arise and follow up with time-stamped messages when services are diagnosed and fixed.
This is by no means an exhaustive list but I think it highlights a few good examples. Why is this important? As much as I hate to use the phrase "controlling the message," it is really important that your customers know that you're on top of things… especially when they are paying you.
Besides, in this day and age if you don't tell your customers what's going on, somebody else will, and you never know what they are going to say about you.
If you know of other good status pages, please feel free to add them to the comments below.

Kutsinta is one of the most popular dainties (kakanin) in the Philippines and this is one of my favorite too. Very simple and easy to cook. In this photo one in orange has annato or atsuete powder the transparent one has no atsuete powder or coloring.
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup corn starch
1 cup sugar
1 tsp annatto powder ( atsuete)
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon lye water
1. Sift all the dry ingredients then combine everything and pour into molders and steam for 15-20 minutes or until done.
2. Remove from steamer then allow few minutes to cool before removing from the molders then serve with or without grated coconut.
To save time, prepare the steamer while you are preparing the kutsinta mixture, so that the water is already boiling after the preparation and you can steam right away.
If rice flour is not available you can cook kutsinta using all purpose flour only
Kutsinta without lye water

If you moved to Springboro, Ohio because of the excellent (yes, that's its real rating by the state) schools, don't worry about educating and entertaining your preschool set. As the mid-way point between Cincinnati and Dayton, Springboro is a Southwest Ohio gem that features a small-town feel with easy access to big-town culture.
Historic Springboro
While your preschooler probably isn't quite ready to appreciate the full-on historical value of this mid-western town that was founded in 1815, she can enjoy an educational walking tour. Put her walking shoes on, get out into the summer (or spring-time) sunshine and enjoy the Chamber of Commerce's self-guided tour. Stroll along the historic downtown area and check out the stops of the Underground Railroad. Don't worry that this is too much learning for your 4- or 5-year-old. The more experiences that you expose her to now, the more she will have an interest in learning later.
Candy Treats
Since 1894, Springboro's resident chocolate and candy-maker Friesinger's (friesingers.com) has been a mid-west favorite. Your little chocoholic can enjoy an afternoon watching candy making of all kinds. While the factory and store front is a commercial retail business, this family-owned Ohio establishment is always glad to offer children a sneak peak behind the scenes at the wonderful world of sweet treat creation. Indulge in just one of their famous chocolates with your preschooler, helping her to avoid the tummy-ache of over-indulgence.
Keeping your preschooler cooped up inside won't help anyone out. Instead of listening to her whines and groans that she is bored, hit the trails and parks that Springboro offers. The North Park (195 Tamarack Trail, Springboro, Ohio), Community Park (666 West Market St, Springboro, Ohio) and Clearcreek Park (3500 Lower Springboro Rd, Springboro, Ohio) all have children's playgrounds that are perfect for the pint-sized set. If taking a leisurely stroll is more your style, and taking a brisk walk is your preschooler's idea of an outdoor adventure, enjoy the sounds and sights of the E. Milo Beck (Lower Springboro Rd, Springboro, Ohio) walking trails.
Outdoor Adventures
Turn a sunny summer Springboro day into a wet and wild adventure at one of the area's water and amusement parks. Nearby Kings Island's (visitkingsisland.com) Soak City Waterpark has more than 50 activities including Splash Landing. This totally kid-friendly part of the water park has tons of slide, activity stations and more that are perfect for preschooler guests. Your pint-sized paleontologist will get a kick out of the Dinosaurs Alive attraction with its animatronic giants. If that's not enough, the Planet Snoopy kids amusement area was voted "Best Kids Area in the World" for 12 years in a row by Amusement Today for 2001 to 2012. For another water-soaked option, check out Great Wold Lodge (greatwolf.com), with its bevy of water slides and spray activities.

FIRST STAGE OF LABOURSunday, July 1st, 2007
Preparing for Birth
There is a fundamental difference between a maze and a labyrinth. Both are intricately patterned winding affairs but whereas a maze is designed to get you lost, misleading you with dead-ends and pointless passages, a labyrinth will always lead you to its end. It might seem the same, but with persistence and staying power you will not get lost in a labyrinth.
Modern birth is depicted as a maze. Without the help and intervention of the medical establishment, women are led to believe they will get lost or will not cope. Birth, though natural, is presented as something complex, designed to trip us up at every twist and turn. But this is a misrepresentation. Birth is more like a labyrinth than a maze. If you trust in the process and have patience, then you will get to the end with as much or as little help as you wish.
Having faith in the process of birth, and recognising that it will have a beginning, a middle and an end is good psychological preparation for the journey of labour.
Although labour is a continuum, it is useful to think of it in stages just to have some sense of where you are throughout.
Knowing the difference between pre-labour and actual established labour can be difficult for first time mothers but it will save you an unnecessarily early trip to hospital and many hours of clock-watching which is likely to make you feel dispirited. Many an account of a 24 hour labour is because the measure included pre-labour and not just established labour.
Pre-labour is, in textbook terms, the first three centimetres of dilation. In second and subsequent labours this can and often does occur in the weeks leading up to birth. For the first time mother, it is characterised by contractions that are spaced a long way apart and which are erratic. It can take a very long time but is a manageable stage of labour. A good measure of whether it is established labour or not is if you can still carry on a fairly normal conversation between contractions- of you can do so easily, it is likely that you are in pre-labour.
Coping with Pre-Labour
Carry on as normal as much as you can. Obviously its good to make sure you have everything you need if you are planning to give birth at home or your bag ready and the petrol tank topped up if you are going to hospital, but other than that just keep on as normally as is possible.
If it is during the day then keep mobile. This will help the labour and the baby who will be moving into the best position for birth, if it is not there already. Don't be surprised if established labour doesn't kick in until nightfall, as most births do happen at night.
Established Labour
In textbook terms this is between 3 and 8/9 cm dilation. The contractions are every five minutes and last for between 30 and 45 seconds.
You will find conversations increasingly difficult and will feel compelled to focus on nothing but your labour.
Another way of telling that you are in established labour is that the shape of the belly changes- becoming box-like- with each contraction.
Coping with Established Labour
As the momentum of the labour builds you will increasingly need to turn inwards and start to anticipate contractions. If you are able to get into a rhythm of anticipating a contraction and moving or swaying or doing whatever feels comfortable as the contraction builds then you will be on top of it when it peaks.
It is helpful to know that a contraction builds in intensity and then peaks, but as soon as it peaks, it then stops- as though it has fallen off a cliff. This means that at the point at which you think that you might not be able to deal with the contraction, it is over.
Make sure that your environment is suitable for labour- respect your own need for minimum interference, privacy, low-lighting and quiet. If you are transferring to hospital then get your partner to take care of your birth notes and answer questions so that you can remain focussed.
Remember that as the contractions build so do your body's own endorphins which are your natural pain killer. The focus in so many books and birth preparation classes is on the contraction- few people talk about the blissful period between contractions when there is no sensation at all, but just the lovely feeling as your body is flooded with hormones and endorphins. If you stay within your labour you will give yourself the chance to enjoy this period between contractions.
As labour builds trust that your mind and body are working in tandem. If you keep going- thinking of each contraction as one less that you have to do and one step closer to meeting your baby- then you will find yourself heartened as you cope with each one. Labour is not designed to trip you up. Countless women have laboured successfully to have enabled you too to labour- a long line of mother after mother after mother- and you have the capacity to labour well. Birth is not a maze, but a labyrinth-just a journey with twists and turns and difficult bits, but a journey all the same.
Be as active as possible- this will facilitate your labour making it shorter, less painful and safer for you and for the baby. Don't worry about what positions you adopt but simply let your instincts lead you. If you are asked to do anything that restricts your capacity to move then see if there are alternatives or mobile versions so that you can continue to labour unimpeded.
Breathe- it sounds obvious but it is essential to remember to breathe…long deep breaths and use sound if you wish. There seems to be an indirect correlation between the amount of sound a woman makes and how much pain she is in. If you hold your breath- which is a common response to something that you anticipate being overwhelming- you can make it so. If you breathe, focussing in particular on the exhalation, then you will release tension and find your capacity to cope increases hugely.
Consider using water at the end of the first stage, when the contractions increase in intensity and the space between them reduces. Water will help you cope with this more difficult part, increase the relaxation between contractions, help to hold you up and so conserve your energy and will take the peak off each contraction. It will also speed up this final stage of labour and take you through transition
and stage 2.
Finally, remember that birth is partly physical and partly mental. Make sure you drink water or juice throughout labour and if you feel like it, have a snack to keep your strength up. Remain active as much as possible, moving as you feel you want to.
Allow yourself to mentally retreat, to be on another planet as Michel Odent puts it and enjoy the unique experience that this affords you. Many women find this experience, this losing yourself to the process, the most wonderful aspect of birth.
Have faith in your capacity to cope. As my midwife said to me before having my first baby, 'You will not be sent more pain than you can handle'. You were designed to give birth and your body and mind work in wonderful synchrony in order for you to do so. You are your best guide, so respect your needs and instincts, and listen to what your body tells you. If you trust yourself whilst remaining open to possibility and to change, you will be well on the way to having a very positive birth experience.

For nearly five decades thereafter, any notion of justice for the fallen of Wormhout was largely forgotten. But on the 24th April 1988, the Sunday Times, reported that Wilhelm Mohnke was still alive and living as a retired businessman, near Hamburg. The Times, along with British MP Jeff Rooker, managed to reopen the case, but the German prosecutor was once again unable to press charges due to a lack of evidence..
If you love to play Paintbal Holbaek with a single shot, very quick gun, you should choose the pump gun that is a very primitive one, but still in use.

Examine all the types very carefully and test it so that you can find the right one that suits your persona..

As I said, all of the workable ideas from Austrian school have been adapted to modern micro foundations. Without a solid, logical, proof based approach to rationalising one idea is, in my opinion, the most fundamental downfall of heterodox economics.xChrizOwnz 1 point submitted 1 month agoWhen you say that it's nothing like it, how much harder is actual college statistics than what is taught at AP level.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic President Barack Obama's top campaign lawyer filed a complaint with the federal election regulator on Tuesday, demanding that the well-heeded and high-spending Republican advocacy group Crossroads GPS disclose its donors.
This is the latest Democratic effort to slow down Crossroads GPS, run by former aide to President George W. Bush Karl Rove, which plans to spend some $300 million alongside its sister "super" political action committee to help Republican candidates ahead of the November 6 election, largely through advertising.
Republican non-profit and "Super PAC" groups have been far outpaced their Democratic rivals in fundraising and spending, which expected to help presumed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney bridge the fundraising gap between his and Obama's election campaigns.
Crossroads GPS is organized under a specific U.S. tax law section that identifies it as a nonprofit social welfare organization, meant to educate the public and allowed to keep its donors private. The group also has a sister Super PAC American Crossroads, which discloses its donors monthly.
The Federal Election Commission, the elections oversight agency, is currently split along party lines and has repeatedly deadlocked on whether social welfare groups must disclose their donors if they engage in political activity.
"There has never been any doubt about its true purpose: to elect candidates of its choice to the presidency and Congress," Obama campaign lawyer Robert Bauer wrote in his complaint to the FEC, posted online by the New York Times on Tuesday alongside the letter to Crossroads GPS that accompanied it.
Obama's re-election is being helped by Democratic groups that enjoy a similar tandem relationship: sister organizations Priorities USA Action, the monthly reporting Super PAC; and Priorities USA, the non-disclosing nonprofit.
"Folks would do well to consider this a goofy sideshow until Obama sends the same letter to Priorities USA - the group modeled after Crossroads but which supports the president," Crossroads spokesman Jonathan Collegio said.
"In the end, Obama doesn't care about the campaign laws; he only cares about silencing conservative groups that are holding him accountable for his failed record."
Priorities USA Action has badly lagged Republican groups in the money game. The pro-Obama Super PAC had raised $6.1 million, while American Crossroads had raised $29.8 million, as of the end of April. These and other Super PACs are due to report their May fundraising on Wednesday.
FEC guidelines give the agency 120 days to act upon the complaint, putting the deadline less than a month before the election. No FEC action by then would mean the Obama campaign could file a more high-profile case in district court.

Liberals weren't completely caught unawares. We recognized the rage—how could we not? We saw it in our social-media feeds all year. We read (and wrote) endless articles featuring reporters edging out to Red America, armed with a notebook and a pretense of empathy, to see what Trumpism was all about, why the fever seemed to be running so high among these people.
And what did that produce? The daily filling of a basket of deplorables. I sometimes refer to it as "point-and-laugh" liberalism. Our relentless mockery of Trump and his followers helped fuel the backlash and make it spread.
And yes, the Democratic standard-bearer commented that "you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables."
However correct that quote might have been, it contributed to this anger and stoked it.

As I got to the halfway point in the novel, tightening the POV and showing more, I finally reached the changes I recently did with Annabelle.
At the beginning of Chapter 20 (the Hawke chapter) I wrote two new scenes where we experience Annabelle's awkward advancement from a 10 year old body to a 14 year old body. Then I wrote a couple of telling paragraphs on Roland's age advancement.
Well, once I reached that chapter in my personal read through, I discovered just how much it suffers from the telling of Roland's advancement.
So last night I broke the whole age change scenes into their own chapter. A new chapter 20 where I show Ann's change, the consequences and Roland's change, with some brief consequences. Roland has to be brief (all show, no tell, don't worry) because one of my rules is it's a birthday event and so that means it leads right into the Hawke chapter.
It worked out great because the chapter ends with Roland getting shot by Hawke. Cliffhanger!
I can't wait to read it to the kids in a couple of days.
Welcome to the official blog of THE FORESIGHT CHRONICLES. Here you'll find updates on the series, behind the scenes info, personal stories and writing advice from the author, Scott Bryan and some extras thrown in for good measure.

"Justice" was fun!
I enjoyed last night's Smallville.
This is a rare thing for me. See, while I'm a big super hero 'geek' I normally can't stand the show. I do watch it, because I want to see how this dying show limps itself into a corner.
But last night was very enjoyable for me. Yes, I know it was corny, with all the tips of the hat to the Justice League comic, but that was what made it fun for me.
Sure, hard core DC fans would argue that Cyborg should never be the same age as Clark (I said that during the Cyborg episode)but that didn't bother me this time.
I suppose I was just swept up in the entire Justice League tribute.
And Bart got the name he should have! And a costume!
Aquaman didn't do a whole lot but that's always a problem with the character.
They made Cyborg closer to his comic self. Jet Jackson did a great job with him, again.
This was a wonderful way to send off Green Arrow.
I hope we see these guys again.

Still busy
Still busy working on the Manuscript. I'm ahead of schedule. I'm finding all of the POV problems and other things that need changing and fixing them.
At night I read it out loud to the kids. I'm catching sentences that don't read as well as they should and I'm fixing them.
So that's where I've been. Sorry for the dry blog spell.
Be back soon.
