See the problem with young girls is...
that they are too young to know any better and well...
I'm just to fuckin' old to care at this point in my life.
Last night, I went to the Halloween party of a co-worker and I was not expecting to have a good time.
However, the fact people went to the limit with their costumes, helped to lift my mood and help keep
the party from being a fucking dud.
Dressed as a lumberjack, my intentions were anything but jacking my lumber at the end of the night.
Cause, the only blonde I can deal with was there, roommate to the co-worker.
The target of my erection, er...uh, I mean the object of my affection.
and as usual there was conversation and chatter, me wishing to be the only batter (in her box)
and though we get along like peas and carrots, her roomies think I'm better suited with girls in hairnets
even after explaining at length that blondie can't shatter this heart of glass cause it comes broke...as is.
I asked if her man was riding the rails, or cleanin' the tracks or whatever the fuck he does for choo-choo charley
she looked sad let me know that Thundar the barbarian was in....... Connecticutt
if you know anything about
me or RI
you know
I can stand on my front stairs....
and piss into CT
She stares into my eyes and I try not to notice her noticing me notice
she is bothered by boy-friend abscence
but like the French I crumbled like a house of cards in a windstorm
whipped like a trick by the migh-t German...jaegermeister
with whom I'm no longer friends
no amount of
miller light
glasses of water
games of beer pong
or handfuls of candy corn
can stop my verbal diahrrea
talking all sorts of candy coated nastiness
promises not threats
to be the guy in presence
as well as in name
rather than putting the trash on the rails before his
cause what the fuck is that about
I know we all do what we gotta do
but come now junior
make the paper
without leaving baby in the corner
and despite what roomies say
shes a good person
staying true to her man
leaves her alone
like the fat kid at the dance
like single, single moms
like Jesus done by judas
and no amount of txt messages
back rubs
or stolen kisses while
leaving the house
or wondering why she loves the Hee-Haw
can make it better
so the bandaids have to cover the holes
of emotional hand grenades
I don't have the strength to dive on

So following my blog on my Hens Party tips last week I seemed to get a lot of interest in some of my all-time best Hens Party games! So by popular demand, here they are!
Now there are millions of pretty lame Hens party games on the Internet and some of them have a good basis, but need you to put in the extra effort to make them funny and memorable.
So firstly here are my top three games/challenges for all your Hens to participate in. These are great icebreakers (but then again so are a few champagnes, so make sure you've had a couple before getting too game serious!):
1# How well do you know the Bride Quiz?
An easy and predictable game, it involves preparing a quiz on how well the Hens know the Bride, her current relationship and the history of her past! Now this can be done one of two ways – you can hand out individual quizzes and pens to each of the guests for them to answer the questions or you can go for a more interactive version where the Bridesmaids can read the questions out and the Hens can buzz in with the answers. I prefer the latter as it gives an opportunity for everyone to get involved without the pressure of having to answer every question. I've sat at many a Hens party in silence answering quizzes on paper which can be a bit tedious to say the least.
What you'll need:
Buzzers (these could be bells, whistles, tambourines etc)
Quiz questions
A shot glass and a bottle of something (for those that answer incorrectly – only if you choose)
Prizes for those who answer correctly (chocolates or even some of those novelty 'sexy' lollies can be good)
Some good examples of questions might be:
1. When and how did the Bride and Groom meet?
2. Who was the Bride's longest relationship prior to the Groom?
3. Who did the Bride first lose her virginity to?
4. If the Bride had one night off and her pick to be with any celebrity, who would she chose?
5. How did the Groom propose?
Etc etc
#2 Post it Note Game
Now this game is easy and requires little or no preparation. There are two versions of this game – 'The post-it-note marriage advice' game or 'The post-it note memory' game. Basically hand out post it notes or some nice coloured card (themed in your Hens Party colours of course) to your guests with a pen and ask them to write either a piece of advice on staying/being married OR a funny memory/story they had with the Bride. The cards/post it notes are then collected and read out and it's up to the Bride to determine who wrote what!
The Marriage advice cards are my favourite though as they are a nice keep sake for the Bride that she can perhaps refer to in the future!
What you'll need:
Post it notes/ coloured card
#3 Pin the Tail
This one is one of my favourites. A twist on an old school kids game, I still call it 'Pin the tail' but you can basically pin whatever you like! Again this one can be as raunchy or as tame as you like. Most people do pin the bouquet on the Bride but I like to personalise this game and try and find a really funny picture of the Bride (and/or Groom) to use. Get it printed out on AO poster paper at your local printing shop (shouldn't cost you more than $50) and then get as imaginative (or as naughty) as you like with what you are going to use to pin! For one Hens Party I did I found this great photo of the Bride and the Groom where the Groom was going in for a full on grope of the Bride's boob! So we called it – 'Pin the hand on the boob' game and used hand cut outs to do the pinning. To make it a bit trickier though we gave each Hen a shot and then spun them 3 times before they did their pinning. Now this was very funny to watch!
What you'll need:
A poster print out of the Bride/Groom or both
Cut outs of something to do the pinning and bluetak to stick them on with
A marker (to write the individuals names on their pins)
A shot glass and bottle of something (if you want to do this bit)
A prize for the winner
#4 The Ultimate Housewives Challenge
The ultimate test to see if the Bride is up for the challenge of being a housewife! Basically a series of challenges is set that the Bride must participate in and compete against her fellow Hens (usually just one or two other Hens at a time). This one is a good game for the older Hens and those that are married (or at least those that boast the years of experience!). Now you can get as creative as you like with this game, but these are my best challenges:
First to sew a button back on a shirt
First to finish peeling 3 potatoes
First to finish darning a hole in a sock
First to finish folding half a dozen shirts (properly!)
First to tie and man's business tie (properly!)
First to finish matching and pairing a bundle of socks
What you'll need:
Any of the above listed props (x 2/ 3, depending on how many challengers you have at a time)
Prizes for the winners
Stop watch
Now the last two games are specifically for the Bride and are just good entertainment for the Hens once they have become a bit over the whole game thing:
5# How well does the Bride know the Groom Quiz?
Now this involves preparing a quiz that you will need to give to the Groom ahead of time to pre-answer the questions. You will need to prepare a 'mask' for the bride to use of the Grooms face and cut out eye holes and a mouth hole. You can also gather other props that she could use to be like the Groom. For one Hens I made a cap with a pony tail as when the Bride first met her fiance he boasted a very well groomed pony tail out the back of his cap! Another Hens party we gathered a Richmond Tigers scarf and beanie as the Groom was a massive Tigers fan. Basically the Bridesmaids will ask the Bride questions about the Groom and she will be expected to use the mask, talk and answer as the Groom would! Now this one is so funny if it's done well and even funnier when they attempt to 'talk' like their partners!
What you will need:
A mask of the Grooms face, attached to a stick so the Bride can hold up
Prepared and pre-answered quiz questions by the Groom
Other props relating to the Groom for the Bride to use
A shot glass and bottle of something (for the bride to shot when she answers incorrectly)
Examples of some quiz questions:
1. Where and when did you share your first kiss?
2. What is your fiance's worst habit?
3. Who was your fiance's first girlfriend?
4. What has been your fiance's most embarrassing moment?
5. What is your fiance's all time catch phrase?
Etc etc (I'm keeping these pretty tame – but you get the gist!)
6# Challenge Card Game
Now this is a game for once the party has moved on to the real 'night' scene when the oldies have gone home and a few drinks have been consumed (especially by the Bride!). Basically the Bridesmaids will throughout the course of the night hand out specific challenge cards to the Bride that she must read out to the group and then embark on! These are great to work in with your theme of the night. Here are some of the ones I came up with for the Hens I did where we did the Cops and Robber theme, placing the Bride under arrest!
1. When the whistle blows tonight please assume the 'frisk' position and have a man frisk you!
2. Being a hardened criminal you must STEAL a kiss from at least one man tonight….the catch is this man MUST have a moustache!
3. Ask a man to take a Line Up Photo of you….front and side! No smiling allowed!
4. This area has been declared a crime scene. Wrap you and the nearest man up together in crime scene tape and ensure there is photographic evidence taken!
What you'll need:
Challenge cards to give the Bride
Any props you might need to back up your challenges
Lastly, a great 'keepsake' for the bride but also a great end to the night that can really generate some laughs is the presentation of the 'Good Housewives Kit', the 'Marriage Survival kit' or the 'Honeymooners Kit'. Now this one will depend on how 'risk-ay' the Bride is!
For the tamer bride it's often nice (but funny) to present them with all they will need to be the perfect traditional housewife with their own 'Good Housewives Kit'! This can also be the safer option if you have mothers and mother in laws present. In the past I have presented all the items in a cane laundry basket – as it doubles as a very necessary item! Other items could include:-
A string of pearls
An apron, rubber gloves and maybe a tea towel
A pair of slippers and pipe for your husband (for when he returns home from a hard day at the office)
A wooden spoon and cake tin for all that baking
An old school cook book – Margaret Fulton is always a goer!
Some lipstick (to ensure you always look perfectly presentable when hubby arrives home)
A 1950s housewives manual (you can pick these up at bookshops or online – the tips in them are absolute crackers!)
Some Eucalyptus Oil (because apparently that gets anything and everything out!)
A small hip flask of brandy or gin (just to keep sane!)
Some sexy lingerie (for underneath that apron and rubber gloves of course!)
For a 'Marriage Survival Kit' you could use items like:
Some trusty headache pills for when you're not in the mood!
Some ear plugs (for the relentless snoring!)
A stress ball (no explanation there!)
A vibrator (no explanation there either!)
'His' & 'Hers' TV remotes
A peg (for all those new smells you will encounter!
If you prefer to go for the naughtier option of the 'Honeymooners Kit', just pop into your local adult shop! I don't think you need me to go into detail with that one!
With either of the last two options just ensure you get a nice big paper show bag that you can personalise and theme up with a picture of the Bride and Groom…..you'll be sure to find some sort of naughty or compromising picture of them both you can use!
To all of you planning Hens parties, I hope this has been helpful! So be good ladies!…..well sort of good anyway! ;)
Lastly a big thank you to my girlies for letting me share their photos from their Hens parties......you're the best xx

You'll notice a different pace to life here, and sometimes a different language too, with some locals speaking Basque, a language that dates back to pre-Roman times. In fact, many locals don't even consider this region to be part of Spain at all. Explore the coastal city of San Sebastian, an epicurean mecca, where you'll find bars serving delicious morsels called pintxos, then travel inland, to Vitoria, the capital of the region, or Bilbao, famed for the architectural wonder of the Guggenheim Museum and discover what makes this slice of Spain so special.

Why Hasn't Ecuador Booted Julian Assange Out After His Latest Crime – Dating Pamela Anderson?
Every time the incorrigible and alleged sexual aggressor Julian Assange makes news, people ask why hasn't Ecuador booted his ass out of its embassy in London. Assange was back in the news when earlier this month, through his WikiLeaks organization, he published a plethora of CIA documents. Some would say his greater crime is dating Pamela Anderson, rock star's favorite fossilized femme fatale.
Yes, Ecuador did cut off his internet access last year after WikiLeaks published a treasure trove of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Party's naughty emails. Otherwise this pale and pasty walking crime scene remains safely ensconced in an estimated 540 square foot section of the Ecuadorian Embassy, enraging the U.S.
Why? How?
The answer is simple: The left-leaning, American-bashing soon-to-be out of a job President Rafael Correa. Correa is Assange's anti-imperalist brother from another mother. Correa saved Assange from cold showers in the penitentiary and Assange put Correa, leader of a nation of nearly 16 million people (smaller than New York State) on the big-boy stage of international drama and importance.
No one expects Assange to leave the drab building anytime soon, a building he has occupied since June, 2012, a locale that has left him pale with a ghoulish hue. He was avoiding extradition to Sweden to answer questions on allegations of: sexual molestation, unlawful coercion and rape. Yes the man that likes to expose everyones little dirty secrets has a couple of his own. Since Ecuador has not evicted Assange time has run out on two of his three charges. Now he just has to wait until 2020 to have the rape charge expire. Oh, well then there are those pesky potential death penalty charges for vomiting out everyone's military secrets.
The bad news for Assange is there will be a new sheriff in town soon. The Ecuadorian presidential run-off elections will take place on April 2nd and candidate Guermillo Lasso already said he's booting Assange out with a 30 day notice, if he wins. Lenin Moreno, Correa's handed pick successor isn't such a lefty but still leans that way; he is remarkably mute on the issue. What Moreno does know is if he wants to be pals with the U.S. the ghoul must go.
Then of course there are the wily charms of the 49-year-old former Baywatch star that might just lure, like a sea siren, Assange out of his hell-hole.

Calvary Chapel Worldwide Ministry
A Venture In Faith
In 1965, Pastor Chuck Smith began his ministry at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa with just twenty five people. From the beginning, Pastor Chuck welcomed all, young and old, without judgment, placing his emphasis on the teaching of the Word of God. His simple, yet sound, biblical approach draws 25,000 people weekly.
With a sincere concern for the lost, Pastor Chuck made room in his heart and his home for a generation of hippies and surfers; generating a movement of the Holy Spirit that spread from the West Coast to the East Coast, and now, throughout the world.
What began as a small local church has now grown into an international ministry of over 1500 fellowships throughout the world.

Mother: Eps 1-3
Drama ReviewsJapanese Dramas
If any of you have been following my reviews for Woman, I'm sure you know that I was absolutely obsessed and taken by that jdrama. It was absolutely beautiful and after it ended, I felt a void in my drama-watching. I couldn't watch some crappy or mediocre drama after watching Woman..because it really made me crave another heavy drama with substance. Well, I decided to take a stab at watching a previous Sakamoto Yuji jdrama, Mother. According to the hardcore fans of Mother, it is 'THE' jdrama that is even better than Woman. Hmm we shall see!
Woman: Ep 10

It's taken me a while to put my thoughts together about episode 10 because it was just that amazing. Episode 10 made me forget all of the other drama crap I was watching. It jolts me out of my complacent watching of other mediocre dramas and makes me think "Why am I watching those dramas, when I could be watching this?". This episode is freaking perfection. What are you waiting for, go watch it!

I had a Hmmm moment with this article from T.E. Hanna over at Of Dust & Kings. Here's an excerpt I thought was particularly insightful:
A Master Mechanic Needs No Help From A Child
I am often reminded of the metaphor of the master mechanic restoring a classic car in his private garage, and inviting his 5 year old son to help. If we are honest, there is very little that child has to offer to the mechanic in the form of aid. In fact, it is far more likely that the son of the mechanic will mess things up than it is he will prove an asset. He grabs the wrong tools, bangs on the wrong parts, and gets distracted by the idea of playing in the street — which then forces the mechanic to stop everything he is doing in order to chase after him.
Of course, the child's assistance was never the point. The point was that, through a shared goal and communal mission, the father and son fostered their relationship and grew closer together as a result. In the process, the child learned how to follow his father's lead, developed skills with tools and a growing knowledge of cars, and was slowly formed into the man his father hoped for him to become.
This is what God does. He invites us into His work, encourages us to dig in and get our hands dirty, and in the process seeks to grow us in our relationship with Him. The reality is, we are not doing God's work at all; we are participating in the work that God is already doing.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Election Commission voted Thursday to let members of Congress raise unlimited "soft money" to fight Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's redistricting plan in California.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
The 6-0 decision came in response to a request from Reps. Howard Berman, D-Calif., and John Doolittle, R-Calif., both of whom oppose the redistricting initiative.
The decision will allow federal officeholders to raise unlimited sums from unions, corporations and other donors to support or oppose any measure on the ballot of the Nov. 8 special election called by Schwarzenegger.
In general, federal campaign finance law limits federal officeholders to donations of $5,000 from individual contributors for nonfederal electoral issues. Commissioners decided that those limits, which lawmakers enacted in 2002, should not apply in the case of the special election, in part because there are no federal candidates on the ballot.
"I just have to conclude that they did not mean to get into the ballot initiative kind of question," said Commissioner Danny L. McDonald.
The redistricting initiative, Proposition 77, would take the responsibility of drawing boundaries for California's congressional and state legislative districts away from lawmakers and give it to a panel of retired judges. The redistricting would occur as soon as possible, instead of after the 2010 census, which would be the normal timeline.
Schwarzenegger says the plan would lead to more competitive districts and to lawmakers who better represent voters. Of 153 state legislative and congressional seats up for grabs in California last November, none changed party hands.
Under California law, Schwarzenegger can raise unlimited sums for his campaign committee to promote the initiative. Berman and Doolittle argued that it would be unreasonable for federal law to prevent them from doing the same on the other side.
Berman said after the vote, "Whatever you think of redistricting, whatever you think of politicians, I don't know how an objective person wouldn't come to the conclusion that when you have two sides of a proposition, both sides should be governed by the same rules."
House members of both political parties have concerns about the redistricting plan. Doolittle and other Republicans fear redrawing district lines in Democratic-leaning California could cost the GOP House seats. Democrats suspect Schwarzenegger's motives, in part because of the example of Texas, where a GOP redistricting plan cost four Democrats their House seats last year.
A spokesman for Schwarzenegger's campaign committee, Todd Harris, said after the vote, "By the time this campaign is over, the people of California will understand that these reforms are critical for the future of our state and no amount of money spent by the opposition is going to dissuade them of that."

I am a married woman in her mid-fifties. My husband is five years older. We have three children. Our twenty-three year old son lives with us, and will for the foreseeable future as he has autism, and while he works part-time, he has a lot of progress to make before he is economically self-sufficient. My older daughter is a college junior and most of her tuition, room and board is covered by her scholarships. My younger daughter is in sixth grade in our parish Catholic school, which means we have tuition expenses yearly. We expect those expenses to double in two years when she starts high school. Luckily, by that time her sister will be finished with school and hopefully off the parental dole.
As the blog title indicates, we are "Racing Toward Retirment". We have not reached that goal but we can see it. We have saved all our lives and have been blessed to inherit money from our parents. We hope to leave a nice nest egg for our children, particularly for my son.
I work as a paralegal and I do not give legal advice. I have done a lot of research on investment options and products but I am not an expert in finanical planning. No financial product is appropriate for every investor and it is up to you to determine whether my advice is good or bad or whether a product is appropriate or not.

"Bran and Lil may have escaped an attempt to lure Lil to the dark side, and recovered the contracts damned people signed with Bran when he was a soul collector, but someone forgot to tell them that no one switches sides or cancels contracts without consequences.
Hunted by an unknown but powerful enemy, Lil, Bran and the Guardians must seek help from unlikely sources to avert total annihilation of the Guardians. When they finally face their enemy, one of them may have to make the ultimate sacrifice."
My Thoughts:I'm pretty sure I have a love/hate relationship with this series, well not really... I love it but sometimes I want to shake the book and make the characters do what I want them to do. I am always addicted and engrossed with the story, but I have moments where I just want to chuck the book across the room. It's an odd feeling but overall I would say I enjoyed the book.
Lil is a good heroine. She may not be my favorite but I do like her. She is a genuinely good person and she always tries to make the right choice. Also, she doesn't whine and I really appreciate that. However, sometimes I think she brushes things off a bit too easily. People always seem to be keeping secrets from her and if it was me I would start cracking skulls and demanding answers instead of just waiting for people to finally tell me. Then again I'm impatient.
Then we have Bran who is my favorite. I just love him so much! But boy do you need to learn to stay still! It seems like in every book in this series he goes missing at some point. There are always a few chapters where Lil doesn't know where he is and those chapters always drive me bonkers.
I also love the secondary characters in this series, especially Sykes. He just always knows how to lighten the mood. He makes me laugh out loud constantly. I also love Master Haziel a lot; simply because he is the wise know it all teacher with a weird sense of humor.
The plot in Hunted was really fast moving and kept me turning pages. It killed me every single time I had to stop. I just wanted to know where the story was headed. Some of it was predictable, but I found that it didn't take anything away from the story. With that being said, some of it frustrated me. A pet peeve of mine is when characters lose their memories and that happened in this one. I hate having to relearn things so initially I was angry. However, as the story progressed it became clear that the memory loss was not going to be the main focus of the story. Once I realized this I was a happy camper and moved past this pet peeve of mine.
All in all, Hunted is a very enjoyable read, especially for those who enjoy angel/demon books. This one has everything you want in an angel book while still maintaining its own distinct feel.

Beavers Return to NEWMAC Title Game for First Time Since 2015, Extend Winning Streak to Six
BABSON PARK, Mass.—Junior Alex Crompton (Killington, Vt.) scored twice in the second half to help top-seeded Babson College defeat fourth-seeded Wheaton College, 2-0, in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Tournament semifinal on Thursday night at MacDowell Field.
Babson, which has won a season-high six straight games, improves to 12-2-4 overall and will make it first NEWMAC championship game appearance since 2015 on Saturday. Wheaton sees its season come to a close at 9-10-1 overall.
Senior Jackson Greenspan (Meriden, N.H.) and junior Youcef Ziad (Holbrook, Mass.) both picked up an assist for the Beavers, who are currently fourth in the NCAA regional rankings. Junior goalkeeper Steven Heintzelman (Middleton, Mass.) made four saves to keep his ninth clean sheet of the year.
First-year Diego Medina (Yonkers, N.Y.) finished with three saves, while sophomore back Brady Smith (Medway, Mass.) cleared a pair of scoring chances off the line for the Lyons.
Following a scoreless first half, Crompton put the Green and White in front 1-0 in the 51st minute. Medina dove to his left to deny Ziad, but the rebound deflected off the crossbar and Crompton was all alone in the goal mouth to put it away.
Heintzelman made the save of the night diving to his right to deny a header by Wheaton junior Jules Stewart (Concord, Mass.) in the 73rd minute. Crompton then put the game away by completing his double just under five minutes later. Medina got a hand on Greenspan's 30-yard free kick, but it hit off the cross bar and Crompton beat three defenders to the loose to ball and headed in the rebound.
The Beavers were the more dangerous side in the first half, highlighted by a 12-4 edge in shots. Greenspan had his bid to put the Green and White in front following a corner kick cleared off the line by Smith in the ninth minute. First-year Mitchell Collins (Burlington, Mass. hit a right-footed shot of the outside off the post in the 23rd minute and senior Ian Fromhein (Osterville, Mass.) got in behind the defense but chipped his shot just over the crossbar in the 35th minute.
Babson held a 19-12 edge in shots and 5-4 advantage in corner kicks for the match.
The Beavers will host second-seeded Springfield on Saturday at 1 p.m. in the NEWMAC Tournament final.
• The Beavers are now 19-20-0 all-time against Wheaton and 7-6-0 against the Lyons in the conference playoffs.
• During its six-game winning streak that began with a 1-0 victory at Wheaton on October 13, Babson has outscored the opposition 14-2.
• The Beavers' 11 shutouts are their most since recording 13 back in 2006.
• Going back to 2006, Babson is 11-1-3 at home in NEWMAC Tournament matches.

Have you ever been moved by a musical performance and said "I wish I learned to play an instrument"? Well, you're grown. What are you waiting for? There are many benefits to learning an instrument as an adult. On the fun side, nothing beats the feeling you get when the floor rumbles under your feet because YOU set an electric guitar amplifier roaring.
Even one note repeated rhythmically can give the sensation of flying without leaving the ground. Here is some science for those technically inclined. Research shows that regular practice of musical drills encourages increased density of glial cells in the areas of the brain governing fine motor skills. Regular practice of musical drills can put you into states of mind comparable to those encountered during meditation. Health experts recommend learning new things to prevent senility as we approach old age.
Public and private performance of music produces a "feedback loop" that allows you to instantly see and hear the results of your actions and adjust to the feedback in that same moment. An empowering sense of control and achievement is an integral part of the resulting "flow state". Flow States occur when you are so absorbed in a task that you forget yourself. Frequent experience of Flow States can lead to reduced stress levels and increased ability to cope. As well as increased creativity, confidence, and capacity for overall enjoyment of life.
So, what are you waiting for?

Abdul Alim Musa
- "Yahuds [Jews] are the enemy of humanity." -- Abdul Alim Musa
|Sam Bazzi
Abdul Alim Musa (Arabic: عبد العليم موسى; born 1945; Clarence Reams; a.k.a. "Big Hank") is a radical anti-America pro-Hezbollah African-American imam. He is the director of Masjid Al-Islam of Washington, D.C. (4603 Benning Road SE, Washington, DC 20019), founder and director of As-Sabiqun, and a member of the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought (ICIT). Abdul Alim Musa is a well-known speaker in many places around the world, including at the pro-Absolute Velayat-e Faqih Khomeinist Shia Association of Bay Area of San Jose, California. "Big Hank" is also a very good friend of the infamous Nabi R. Mir (a.k.a. Nabi Raza Abidi), the extremist pro-Khamenei resident mullah at Saba Masjid (Saba Mosque).

Early life
Clarence Reams was born in Arkansas in 1945; however, he grew up in Oakland, California, where he became famously known as "Big Hank." There, during the 1960s, he associated with H. Rap Brown, who later adopted a radical version of Islam and became known as imam Jamil al-Amin.
"Big Hank" set-up a drug dealing operation in Colombia, but eventually was arrested on charges that included heroin and currency smuggling and assaulting a federal agent. After evading the authorities for several years, "Big Hank" fled to Algeria, where he came into contact with several exiled Black Panther leaders such as Eldridge Cleaver. He eventually returned to the United States, where he turned himself in. "Big Hank" was put on trial and subsequently incarcerated at the U.S. Federal Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas, among other institutions.
While in prison, "Big Hank" converted to Islam and adopted the Arabic name "Abdul Alim Musa." He embraced radicalism and supported the 1979 Iranian revolution. Abdul Alim appartently believed that Khomeini's oppressive regime would lead to global Islamic dominance.
After the successful establishment of the Absolute Velayat-e Faqih regime in Iran, Abdul Alim Musa openly expressed his support for its anti-America extremist Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Since the early 1980s Abdul Alim has made several visits to the so-called Islamic Republic, where he introduced himself to the rogue Iranian mullahs as a representative of American Muslims and a staunch supporter of their Faqihi regime. Throughout the decade, he developed connections with a wide array of like-minded Muslim activists, both Sunni and Shia. Abdul Alim emphasized unity as the primary factor for the success of the extremist Islamist movements.
Abdul Alim Musa studied the intellectual works of several famous Islamist leaders such as Malcolm X, Ayatollah Khomeini, Sayyid Qutb, Maulana Maududi, and Kalim Siddiqui. He also encouraged his followers to individually familiarize themselves with the writings of these political Islamists.
Abdul Alim Musa and anti-Semitism
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) asserts that Abdul Alim Musa "propagates a radical and anti-Semitic ideology." ADL quotes him as saying "Who ran the slave trade…who funded [it]? You'll study and you will find out: the Jews…It was the Jewish bankers... in Vienna, with pockets full of money, funding and insuring, that's who did it... you can't tell us about no holocaust. Between the African Americans and the Native Americans, everybody else's stuff was small potatoes."
According to Benjamin Ginsberg, during an event sponsored by two student groups, the Associated Students of the University of Washington and the Black Students Commission, "Big Hank" gave "a vehemently Anti-semitic" speech. Apparently "Big Hank" had asserted that America was controlled by Jews and that "Yahuds [Jews] are the enemy of humanity."
Numerous observers have argued that Abdul Alim Musa promotes anti-Semitism in his speeches. "Big Hank" claims that his statements are directed at the Zionist supporters of Israel and not the Jewish people in general. However, some of his statements suggest otherwise. For instance:
Activities and statements by Abdul Alim Musa
During a rally in July 1999, Abdul Alim Musa openly displayed a cashier's check made out "Hamas, Palestine," to protest the 1996 U.S. law that declared Hamas a terrorist entity. In fact, Hamas is an extremist Palestinian organization financed and controlled by the Absolute Velayat-e Faqih regime of Iran.
Imam Abdul Alim Musa, of the Masjid al-Islam in Washington D.C., on suicide bombers in Washington, DC in June 2002.
Abdul Alim Musa: When they go out and strike at the heart of Zionism. They are not suicide bombers they are heroes they are she-roes, isn't that right? That's a part of our deen, that's a part of our religion, lets not become weak boned and apologetic, and run around trying to appease this government and that government.
Abdul Alim Musa proudly announced that "I would love to have a case in court with the FBI. I would love for them to arrest me on any trumped-up charges." Abdul Alim later boasted that "I tried to get a case several years ago. We had a demonstration. I waved a check for Hamas, cashier's check, by the way. And I said, 'I'm donating this to Hamas.' Then I waited for them to arrest me. They didn't arrest me. So I put the thing back in the bank."
At an event titled Shaping Our Perspective: Our Role in a Changing World held on January 21, 2001, and sponsored by Muslim Students Association (MSA) at UCLA, Abdul Alim Musa is quoted as stating: "If you were to say that the Soviet Union was wiped off the face of the earth . . . people would have thought you were crazy, right? The people of Afghanistan didn't have the intellect or historical knowledge to know that they wasn't supposed to wipe out the Soviet Union, is that right? ... We saw the fall of one so-called superpower, Old Sam [the United States] is next."
Abdul Alim Musa, the imam of Masjid Al-Islam in Washington, at UC Irvine, two days before the 9/11 attacks. The event was a benefit dinner for Jamil Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, who was accused of killing a Fulton County, Ga. sheriff's deputy serving a warrant in 2000. Al-Amin received a life sentence after being convicted of the deputy's murder in March 2000.
Abdul Alim Musa: Imam Jamil coined a phrase, and that phrase meant this: "If you don't give us justice. If you don't give us equality. If you don't give us our share of America. If you don't stay out of our way and leave us alone, we're gonna burn America down."
On July 7, 2000, Abdul Alim Musa was in the company of his wife and daughter when he witnessed members of the Metropolitan Police of Washington, D.C., beating an individual. "Big Hank" intervened by approaching the officers, requesting that they stop, and ultimately grabbing one of them! He consequently was arrested for assaulting the police. "Big Hank" spent two nights in prison. On July 10, 2000, he appeared before a judge in court, where the charge against him was reduced to a misdemeanor.
Abdul Alim Musa has made numerous statements that can be considered controversial by the average American. For instance:
- Zionist American agents blew up the World Trade Center
- Palestinian suicide bombers are heroes
- The U.S. government saturated American cities with heroin in the 1960s to snuff out African-American rebellion
- The United States should become an Islamic state
In a video clip broadcast by Fox News, Abdul Alim Musa stated, from behind a podium at the University of California at Irvine on Sept. 9, 2001, that "if you don't stay out of our way and leave us alone, we're going to burn America down." Abdul Alim later stated that he was simply paraphrasing Jamil Al-Amin, formerly H. Rap Brown, a prominent Black Panther in the 1960s. "Big Hank" never threatened to burn the United States down, according to a longer video and transcript of the speech posted on the Web site of the Investigative Project.
Abdul Alim Musa has also stated that "the American ship is going down. And it's clowns like that [President George W. Bush] that's driving it down. We don't have to do nothing. Just step back, pray, fast, do good deeds, and stuff like that. And let that guy go ... When he finishes, nobody will love, nobody will trust, and nobody will believe anything coming from the United States of America."
In a debate with George Mason University professor Jack Goldstone aired on Press TV on January 5, 2010, Abdul Alim said that Muslims believe that 90% of the bombings in the world are done by the United States government and the Mossad:
Abdul Alim Musa: Right. I am just going to go straight to the point. If you go back for the last 20 years, from the first World Trade Center bombing in '93... This is our view, from those who... We said it then, and we say it now, and this is the belief in the Muslim world: 90% of the bombing plots – or this plot or that plot – we believe is done by and with the help and the aid of Mossad, and the United States government. This is our experience. We believe that whoever this guy is from Nigeria - we don't believe he has any ties with Islam. If you talk about the World Trade Center bombing – all of these things are done... I can give you two quick reasons, and it will solve the problem. Number one - to blame these things on Muslims. You get the Patriot Act, you get the anti-terrorism bill, you get a right to what they call stop, put a freeze, on the global Islamic movement, which has been spreading, growing, and developing. You get a chance to launch missiles, to kill, and to put a freeze on the Islamic movement. But the Islamic movement is only the first target.
...Yes, definitely. This is our belief. We've said this. We have... I didn't bring them all... We have "CIA Patterns of Deception," "Zionist Control of Media," "Babylon the Great" – these are years old – "Bush the Unifier"... Our belief has always been, since 1993, and we've done TV programs on it – that the United States government... Who do you talk about? You talk about Al-Qaeda. Where did Al-Qaeda come from? Al-Qaeda, Bin Laden, and all that – those are US friends...
Interviewer: But why would the US do this to its own people?
Abdul Alim Musa: In order to control them....
Banning of Abdul Alim Musa from the United Kingdom
- "If they don't want me, I don't want them." --Adbul Alim Musa
In April 2009, Abdul Alim Musa's name was released to the press as one of 22 people who were declined entry into the United Kingdom in October 2008. The British government announced that it has banned Abdul Alim from the UK because he is "considered to be engaging in unacceptable behavior by fomenting and glorifying terrorist violence in furtherance of his particular beliefs and seeking to provoke others to terrorist acts."
Abdul Alim Musa at Shia Association of Bay Area
Imam Abdul Alim Musa has given speeches at the Islamist center of Shia Association of Bay Area (SABA), the extremist anti-Semitic Khomeinist organization based in San Jose, California. Musa is at home at SABA, for it is the proper platform for renowned anti-Semites to deliver their abhorrent messages.
Abdul Alim Musa and Nabi Mir, the exposed extremist Khomeinist resident cleric at SABA mosque, are very good buddies. Their converging paths in life brought the duo together and the commonly championed cause cemented their relationship. Indeed, both Abdul Alim and Nabi Raza share affection and admiration of grand terrorist Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the late founder of the anti-American Absolute Velayat-e Faqih regime in Iran, and loyalty to Ali Khamenei, the discredited Iranian Supreme Leader.
While at SABA, Abdul Alim Musa talked extensively about his former cocaine business, made a variety of absurd statements, and denounced the United States, President George W. Bush, and President-elect Barack Hussein Obama. He also engaged in fund raising and distributed and exhibited anti-CIA, anti-FBI, and anti-police flyers at SABA.

The Wake-up Yank
The Wake-up Yank
O Maulana "Big Hank,"
Let's be very, very frank,
Your mama should give you a good spank,
For your speeches always clank,
Yes, they impress embittered mullahs of low rank,[1]
And get you checks on the blank,
True, it's good money in the bank,
This keeps your big beak a little dank,
And feeds your deep desires to be swank,
But your whole thing is a lousy prank!
Think not hating America is the only plank,
It's your own country you should thank,
Wake-up, be not Khamenei's slave on the far flank!
His sad mobs have already shrank,
His sodomite regime is getting lank,
It's not dead, yet it has already stank,
Don't wait until it has expired and sank,
Turn around and put your raging feelings on the brank,
It's your beautiful Columbia[2] that you ought to embank!

This week I was just out of it. I was unmotivated and a little depressed.
But yesterday, I started to feel better. And this morning, I am feeling 100% back to my positive self again.
I am so motivated to lose weight now. It helps that the scale has been showing some lower numbers the past couple of days. Hubby and I were able to go shopping for groceries last night. We got our tax return so we decided to get a full load of groceries. We have lots of healthy foods in the house and it will be much easier to stay on track. I also won a giveaway for a bunch of free boxes of Boca products, can't wait to try those out!
Hubby promised to go running with me today, which I am REALLY excited about. It's a dreary day, as it has been for the past week, but it's not raining and it's almost 50*, so hopefully it doesn't rain! I have not worked out all week.
I'm so close to that 50 lb goal again- I want this to be the week I make it there!

Last Sunday we held a yarn tasting here at C & W, for a large group of bloggers and instagrammers. It was great fun.
We spent the day introducing the crowd of lovely lady ( yes they were all ladies) to different yarns, most of which they had never used before, from undyed yarns to hand dyed yarns.
We started the day with undyed yarns from Jamiesons & Smith Heritage, Moeke Heritage and the super soft Alpaca from Kremke. I can honestly say that i don't think the crowd was impressed by the not so soft yarns – maybe they are more for the Liefhebbers!
We moved on to Isager Alpaca 1, Road to China lace and The Fibre Co Acadia and ended with HHF Skinny Singles. These yarns went down much better!
We hope we have inspired and given new ideas to a new crowd of yarn lovers! You can check out their progress and comments on Instagram.

For artists, just reading the title of this post alone causes a sudden intake of breath. Polychromos! The Midas pencils of the universe. Well, for some, anyway.
For everyone else, a glance at Polychromos pencils would draw out the words, "Pencil crayons???" Ahem. No, not pencil crayons – COLOURED PENCILS (with the 'u,' because I'm Canadian).
What's the difference? Well, my dear friends, pencil crayons are crayons in pencil form! They're waxy, lack pigment, and little kids love them.
Coloured pencils, on the other hand, don't necessarily contain wax (like Polychromos by Faber-Castell!). In fact, Polychromos pencils are oil based, so they blend and mix beautifully, with no waxy build-up. Incroyable!
I've been doing some experimenting, since I'm new to these goddess pencils, and I have found that Polychromos over watercolor are absolutely stunning. They are rich and brilliant! Oh, so happy. I've also experimented with blending the pencils using both paint thinner and baby oil (baby oil is oh-so-much better). The results are just beautiful.
If you haven't seen my dream catcher piece yet, it's a mixed media piece involving watercolor, ink, watercolor pencils, and Polychromos! It came out bright and vivid, and I must say that I'm a big fan.

Andrew Lansley, the health secretary, has hailed the ban on smoking in public places for the way it had changed attitudes and ensured that smoking was ceasing to be a "part of life".
As a ban on tobacco promotion in large shops came into force in England on Friday, Lansley pledged to press ahead with measures to discourage smoking.
He said the new rules were designed to ensure all large shops and supermarkets in England must hide cigarettes and tobacco products from public view. "It's also about supporting smokers who want to give up," the health secretary told BBC Breakfast.
"There's more than a third of smokers who say they want to stop. Each year we have nearly 800,000 smokers who try to quit, 50% succeed. We want to continue to increase that proportion, help more people to stop." The Department of Health said the new restrictions were necessary because evidence suggests cigarette displays could encourage young people to start smoking. Figures released by the department showed that more than 300,000 children under the age of 16 try smoking every year. It estimates 5% of children between the ages of 11 and 15 are regular smokers.
Lansley dismissed the idea that young people could find smoking more exciting if tobacco was hidden.
"The culture is about moving to a place where tobacco and smoking isn't part of normal life: people don't encounter it normally, they don't see it in their big supermarkets, they don't see people smoking in public places, they don't see tobacco vending machines," he said. "We are going to continue to try to act against smoking for the simple reason that most smokers want to quit and it is the biggest avoidable cause of early mortality."
Lansley's strong praise for the smoking ban, imposed by a free vote in parliament in 2006, shows he has changed his views. In the 2005 general election he called, as shadow health secretary, for voluntary agreements on whether to ban smoking. Labour called for a partial ban while the Liberal Democrats called for an outright ban.
Lansley admitted in February 2006, when MPs voted in favour of the ban, that he was proposing a "complex" series of positions. This involved tabling an amendment to ban smoking in parts of private clubs to which children have access. But he voted against government plans as the Tories tried to ensure private clubs would be exempt from the ban.
He told MPs then: "The voting might be complex, but the principles involved are pretty straightforward. We must reduce smoking and the exposure to secondhand smoke. We should not permit people's liberty to choose whether to smoke to extend to a licence to cause harm to others, but we cannot allow legislation to intrude into the choices that people make in their private space."
Jean King, of Cancer Research UK, told the BBC: "We want everything we can possibly do to make cigarettes unavailable and inaccessible and something that children don't see as a normal product … we need to do everything we can to prevent young people getting hold of cigarettes."

tattoo tuesday celebrates the feast day of saint nicholas the 4th century saint reputed to be the model for santa claus - the modern name comes from the dutch sinterklaas which is derived from a series of elisions and corruptions of the transliteration of saint nikolaos.
the historical st nick (nikolaos of myra aka nikolaos the wonderworker) had a reputation for secret gift giving - supposedly one of his favorite practices was to put coins in the shoes of those who left their shoes outside their doors at night. the practice of putting shoes out for gifts is still a custom in some of the countries which celebrate saint nicholas day.
i love to learn what or who saints are patron saints for - according to the saint nicholas center, saint nicholas is reputedly the patron saint of more causes than any other saint! the list includes more than 100 groups, including: children, sailors, thieves, pawnbrokers, bankers, archers, merchants, poor people, poets, and prostitutes (here's the skinny behind saint nicholas and prostitutes!)
one of today's photos may look familiar as i posted the top photo last year - months before starting tattoo tuesday - given that today is saint nicholas day, i thought it only fitting to repost the photo! the incredibly sexy santa is the beautiful delilah von dagger. delilah, which may or may not be her "real name" is part of the cleveland burlesque company. i also really like the second photo where the hello kitty tat is more visible.

Help for Diabetes
Page has shown a direct relationship between high blood sugar levels and calcium levels and an abnormally low phosphorus level. This situation occurs when the insulin level is too low. His studies with many diabetic patients showed that the blood sugar, calcium and phosphorus levels improved with a diet of mostly animal protein and fat and fresh vegetables, that is eliminating all high glycemic foods, fructose, caffeine and alcohol. While insulin may still be required, the dose will probably be much less on such a diet. Dr. Atkin's New Diet Revolution or Neanderthin are two good books on this subject.
In addition, new research points to Vitamin D deficiency in many autoimmune diseases such as insulin-dependent diabetes. Have your Vitamin D level checked and if it's lower than 30, your doctor will recommend supplementation with oral Vitamin D3.

Depending on the kind of soil, the range of following rollers are designed to provide intensive crumbling and reconsolidation. Changing rollers just requires a pair of brackets to be loosened. The large distance between discs and following roller ensures that the soil settles again and can be perfectly reconsolidated by the following roller.
1.) SW Cage roller
2.) PW tooth packer roller
3.) TW tandem roller
4.) DW Disc roller
5.) KWM wedge ring roller with Matrix tyre profile
6.) KW wedge ring roller
7.) WW angle profile roller
8.) UW U-Profile roller
9.) DUW double U-Profile roller
10.) DDW double disc roller
For seedbed preparation for maize or sugar beet, the AMAZONE compact disc harrows can be equipped with
a variety of rollers in addition to a following harrow. The following harrow creates a very fine-crumbled soil surface structure and thus the perfect germination conditions for the following crops. An additional advantage when using the harrow is the optimised straw distribution.
Comprehensive and suitable mounting and towing possibilities are available for all compact disc harrows and any kind of tractor. The flange plate allows the easy and quick rebolting of any of the linkage options. So, for any tractor, the suitable linkage can be selected, no matter whether for lower linkages Cat. II, III, III-N, IV, IV-N, V, different pulling eyes or also the K80 ball coupling.
In addition, a comfortable hydraulic working depth adjustment is available enabling the easy and precise setting from the tractor cab.
In order to increase the penetration into the soil on dry, hard soils, additional weights slices are available as a special option. One weight set consists of four 25 kg elements which are bolted together in pairs on the left and right hand side of the machine. The maximum additional weight for rigid machines is 200 kg and for foldable, 3-point linkage models, and on the Catros-2TS models, (in 4 m to 6 m working width) the extra weight is limited to 300 kg.
To enable the sowing of catch crops directly or together with the soil tillage operation, AMAZONE offers the GreenDrill seeder box. It can be combined as well with the Catros, CatrosXL and Certos compact disc harrows as well as the Cenius mulch cultivator, the KG rotary cultivator or with the KE rotary harrow. The seed is distributed evenly by the spreader plates.
The GreenDrill seed hopper holds 200 l or alternatively 500 l and is easily accessed via the loading steps provided. Within the metering system located underneath the seed hopper, is a seed shaft that is equipped, depending on the type of seed and the application rate with either fine or normal seed wheels. The drive to the seed shaft is electric and that of the blower fan either electric or hydraulic.
Comfortable operation
For the control of the machine, the in-cab terminal 5.2 is available which gives the operator control of the seed shaft and the blower fan speed. In addition, an options' menu is available to assist the calibration as well as also indicating the forward speed, the worked area and the working hours. The seed shaft speed automatically matches to the varying forward speeds as soon as the on-board computer is connected via the 7-pin tractor signal socket.
The benefits at a glance
+ Sowing catch crops and fine seeds directly with stubble cultivation or with soil tillage
+ Various metering cassettes available
+ Wide distribution via baffle plates
+ Easy loading via the access steps
+ Modern operator terminal in two levels of equipment

Steps to Create Habitat for WildlifeMake a home for birds, butterflies, and nature's other creatures.
In Your Backyard
Habitat is a combination of food, water, shelter, and space arranged to meet the needs of wildlife. Even a small yard can be landscaped to attract birds, butterflies, beneficial insects, and small animals. Trees, shrubs, and other plants provide shelter and food for wildlife.
The plants you use for food and cover will help determine the wildlife species attracted to your backyard. Nesting boxes, feeders, and watering sites can be added to improve the habitat.
- Identify all existing plants, if any. Note:
- Condition of the plants and their locations.
- How much shade the trees and shrubs provide.
- Are trees evergreen or do they drop their leaves in the fall?
- Do they provide valuable food sources?
- Make a sketch of your yard noting all existing plants, buildings, utilities, and pathways. You may even consider removing some plants. In some cases, trees have been planted too close to buildings or have grown much larger than the previous owner envisioned. Some species may be of little wildlife value and may not be particularly attractive. Once you have identified existing plants you want to save, start exploring options for plants that will work well with these species. The existing plants around your yard may be adequate to attract some wildlife, but a few changes can effectively enhance the existing habitat. Diversity in the landscape is necessary. Some plants provide food but very little cover; others provide cover but little food.
- Add trees, shrubs, flowers, and groundcovers to your plan. Not all the planting needs to be done at once. If money or time is limited, consider it a work in progress.
- Plant a variety of trees first. Select evergreen species for year-round cover and shelter. Select fruit or nut-bearing plants for a food source. Native species are well suited for providing wildlife habitat because they are adapted to the local soil, climate, and wildlife. Additional considerations for choosing and placement include:
- Eventual size. Whether they are evergreen or deciduous (trees that drop their leaves). Deciduous trees planted on the south side of a house will provide summer shade, but will not completely block winter sun.
- Neighboring properties.
- Flowering and fruiting habit. Select plants that flower and bear fruit at different times of the year. Some shrubs that produce berries can provide food throughout the year. Trees with nuts and fruit can also provide seasonal foods.
- Fill in with smaller shade-tolerant understory trees and shrubs. Adding these to an existing landscape will enhance the vertical structure that is common in natural landscapes. Many smaller trees and shrubs are colorful in the spring when they flower, and provide berries for fall and winter feed.
- Flowering annuals (plants that live one growing season) and perennials (plants that live for more than a year) add color to the yard and can be added at any stage to attract birds and butterflies. If your yard is large, consider using part of it for tall native grasses that provide beauty, as well as a natural source of food and shelter. A native wildflower garden provides the same function. Even on a small lot, native wildflowers, as well as some common garden species, can provide attractive habitat for a variety of birds and butterflies. Avoid straight lines and perfect symmetry. Natural habitat has curves and clumps of vegetation. Wildlife is not particularly attracted to a well-manicured lawn. Wildlife is more likely to come out into the open for viewing when the boundary of the yard is designed and maintained as a retreat for animals.

In short, no association or alliance can be happy or stable without me.
People can't long tolerate a ruler, nor can a master his servant, a maid her mistress, a teacher his pupil, a friend his friend nor a wife her husband, a landlord his tenant, a soldier his comrade nor a party-goer his companion, unless they sometimes have illusions about each other, make use of flattery, and have the sense to turn a blind eye and sweeten life for themselves with the honey of folly.

One of the most exciting projects that launched on the NXT blockchain in 2017 was Adel.
Adel is an idea incubator that focuses mainly on blockchain projects. Submitting ideas and the execution of these projects are delegated to the Adel Members with the Adel core team supervising the end to end process.
An Adel member is a stakeholder who holds at least 64000 ADL coins (32000 if they participated in ICO). This allows the member to have access to all the community modules (eg. the collaboration module), participate to the project incubation and also submit own ideas.
The ICO was launched on May 1st and ended on the 31st of May 2017 collecting 442.5 BTC. Adel was the first KYC/AML/CTF (Know Your Customer, Anti-money Laundering, and Counter Terrorism Financing) compliant ICO in the world.
The result was below the minimum target of 900BTC so the members had to vote for keeping the project alive or if the collected BTC had to be returned to the investors. Members voted to go on with the project and Adel started its plan of developing the collaboration modules and follow their defined roadmap:
▲ Feb 2016 ▲ Adel is founded
▲ Jun 2016 ▲ Phase 1 ▲ Ecosystem Architecture
▲ Dec 6th 2016 ▲ Website is launched
▲ March 17th 2017 ▲ Adel Ecosystem Limited is registered in the Isle of Man
▲ May 1st 2017 ▲ ICO, round 1 begins
▲ Jun/Jul 2017 ▲ Adelphoi, ADL is listed on exchanges
▲ Jun 2017 ▲ Community module development begins
▲ Jun 2017 ▲ Phase 2 ▲ Legal & Investment structure development begins
▲ Jun 2017 ▲ Idea to Project Supply Chain begins
▲ Q4 2017 ▲ Ardor is released
▲ Q1 2018 ▲ Adel becomes child-chain of Ardor
▲ Q1 2018 ▲ Profit participation legal entity established
▲ Q1 2018 ▲ Adelshare, ADS profit participation token is established
▲ Q2 2018 ▲ First projects are funded & launched
▲ Q2 2018 ▲ Phase 3 ▲ Project Execution
Adel members voted on the 30 November 2017 to move ADL from NXT to Ethereum, thus the roadmap will need to be updated in case an Ardor child chain is not required anymore. A decision on whether this will happen or not will be taken in early 2018.
ADL will then move to Ethereum, in February 2018, considering that some time is needed to develop and test the new coin. In the meantime it will stay on the NXT blockchain, so it might be that the NXT price fluctuates, following the Ignis snapshot, and might affect the ADL coin as well.
As I explained in this article, I strongly believe that NXT is a solid investment even after the Ignis snapshot, but it might be that speculators will focus on the short term and sell their NXT stake.
So let's go back one step and focus on Adel and the fundamentals of the project:
– The idea is excellent. As explained here and here there are plenty of good reasons to be part of Adel for its vision and what it could achieve in this space being one of a kind.
– Adel has collected 442.5 BTC which in these days is worth more than 5 Million USD, since none of those BTC have been converted. Adel can sustain for at least 18 months with the collected funds. If new funds for projects are needed, Adel has the possibility to hold 2 more ICOs.
This means that Adel has all the ingredients to become a success. It has a brilliant idea and the funds to execute it at the highest level.
The one ingredient that is still missing is the amount of members, or, to be precise, members that are making their skills available in Adel. That's one of the most important parts of Adel's vision and that's where the decision to move ADL to Ethereum is aiming to reach out to more active members. Considering the reach that Ethereum has, this is most likely avenue. Anyway, if this is happening or not, one way to bring forward the projects is to outsource some tasks using the projects funding. In the end, it might be a good idea to outsource some tasks as members might have the skills but maybe don't have the time to participate actively, so outsourcing can allow the project members to coordinate rather than execute, which might be beneficial from the project execution quality and timeline point of view. In fact, Adel has this consideration integrated into their architecture, via their Project Review Committee. This is where experts will reside and help with the idea incubation and project planning processes. These aspects will anyway be analysed, project by project, during the Project Planning phase (P2).
To wrap up, my opinion is that Adel has huge potential and that ADL coins are currently on sale on the NXT blockchain. And after the Ignis snapshot, when many might be re-allocating their NXT stake, there might be even more price shocks to the assets within NXT.
Considering also that the ETH move might boost the ADL value, buying some ADL while still on NXT might be a very smart move.

Bahamasair and Silver Air pushed to the limits!
Bahamasair was recorded performing an "evasive manoeuvre" when it realised that there was a Silver Airways plane during a flight on Tuesday afternoon. There was never any huge risk involved. Passengers were aware of their proximity to another plane but the crew professionally reassured them that there was no cause for alarm. Apparently, this issue came about due to mixed coordinates. Air Traffic Control was made aware of the situation and reduced the aircraft's climb rate so Bahamasair and Silver Air could pass by each other like planes in the night.

Silver Airways signs Letter of Intent for up to 50 ATR-600 series turboprops
Fort-Lauderdale, Florida-based Silver Airways took significant steps toward a long-term goal to become a major US airline by announcing its intention to purchase up to 50 ATR-600 series turboprops, valued at a potential $1.1 billion if all options are taken.
Silver's initial order is for 20 ATR 42-600 aircraft, the 46-50 seat model; the letter of intent (LOI) signed Aug. 1 provides Silver the ability to upgauge to the larger 68-78 seat ATR 72-600 model. The firm 20 ATR 42-600 aircraft will be lease-financed by Silver, the company said.
Silver will be ATR's first North American customer for its -600 series turboprops. ATR will conduct Silver's crew training on its -600 series full-flight-simulator at ATR's new training facility in Miami.
Silver plans to take delivery of up to four of the new ATRs in the fourth quarter of 2017, following regulatory approvals. Delivery of the remaining 16 aircraft should be completed by first-quarter 2020, the company said. The new aircraft will gradually replace Silver's existing fleet of 21 34-seat Saab 340B Plus turboprops "over time," the company said.
Concurrently with its LOI announcement, Silver said it has entered into negotiations with San Juan, Puerto Rico-based Seaborne Airlines to explore commercial cooperation and a potential "combination." Seaborne provides connections throughout the Caribbean via its San Juan hub; the company is majority-owned by Philadelphia-based investment firm Versa Capital.
Silver also announced the appointment of new CEO Steven Rossum, effective Aug. 8. He succeeds Sami Teittinen, who is leaving the company for personal reasons. Rossum has been serving as Silver's external general counsel and fleet transactions advisor and has had an extensive career in aviation legal and financial management at Pinnacle Airlines, Air Tran Airways, DHL Airways, among other airlines. Additionally, Silver also promoted EVP-commercial and CFO Jason Bewley to president and CFO of the company.
"The momentum of our airline, as demonstrated by the order for new ATR-600 series aircraft [and] the potential for Caribbean expansion … were the key reasons I decided to join Silver," Rossum said. "[We] are fully focused on safety, reliability, growth and working toward fulfilling Silver's promising future."
"This aircraft acquisition is a monumental leap forward for Silver … and will allow us to expand our network with greater reach, including further into the Caribbean and the southeastern US," Bewley said.
Silver Airways is a codeshare partner with New York-based JetBlue Airways, Chicago-based United Airlines and Colombian carrier Avianca. Silver also has interline agreements with Dallas/Fort Worth-based American Airlines, Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines, Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, Bahamasair, Germany's Hahn Air, Azul Brazilian Airlines and Japan's All Nippon Airways.

Comedy, Horror, Thriller
Director: Jordan Rubin
Writers: Al Kaplan, Jordan Rubin, Jon Kaplan
Tonight, we discuss the movie Zombeavers. Now, seeing as I am Canadian, I just want you to know on all my homes will be built from sheet metal. No way I'm letting some zombeaver get me! Before going into this film, I had the thought in mind: "Hey, I love shitty B- comedy horror movies!" I was not let down.
Let me introduce you to our nature-killing cast! To start off, the sexy beave... er-- women. The three leading ladies are Rachel Melvin, Cortney Palm, and Lexi Atkins. Now let's get on with the film! "Hey, whats this? He was going to move on without us?" Okay, fine. That was Hutch Dano, Jake Weary, and Peter Gilroy -- the bad boys of the movie. We also get special cameos of John Mayer and Bill Burr.
Zombeavers is about a group of teenageers who go out to a cabin, but then are ravaged by rabid (and strangely intelligent) zombie beavers.
Now to tell you about some of the toxic problems of this movie. I do have to point out that I acknowledge there is some intentional 'supposed-to-look-like-poor-filmmaking' problems with this movie that are there to add to the humour. However, I did have a problem with the CGI, and some of the practical effects. For example, near the beginning of the film two truck drivers hit a deer. When one goes out to take a look, you see gore and viscera falling off the truck. The guts are very clearly CGI and not very real looking at all. Was this necessary? Then later, with the first beaver you see the audio wasn't very great. It sounded like whoever was doing the zombeaver sounds was way too close to the mic with no pop screen, causing audio distortion. They didn't seem to feel it was necessary to turn the audio down for that sound when they added it to the movie; It was very loud and overpowered the rest of the audio. I was also not a big fan of Hutch Dano's acting. At times it was alright, but mostly something about it felt kind of off. The rest of the actors nailed it, thoigh.
Normally, things like the beavers not looking remotely real, being very clearly glitchy robots, or dangling from strings would fall in my problem section. Quite honestly, in this case I will be putting these in what I liked about this movie. This is what made this movie fun to watch! The fact that they did not take themselves seriously was what made this movie. There was also one well-done detailed transformation scene which is probably the entirety of the CG and makeup budget. I had also quite enjoyed the dialogue in this movie. Bill Burr and John Mayer's (presumably) improvised lines were not only intriguing, but also quite hilarious. I would love to see more of those characters, but quite honestly I feel if they were in it any more it would wreck the show and lose their appeal.
I thought this movie was quite funny and quite interesting to see, but I highly suggest watching this movie with a group of good frineds as opposed to alone. The characters are great and interesting and the writing was pretty good for what it was. I would give Zombeavers 6 hairy beavers out of 10.
