What a saga… 22 January 2009Posted by marisacat in 2010 Mid Terms, Democrats, Divertissements, Lie Down Fall Down Dems, U.S. Senate.
A story of updates… Gothamist and Gawker… Gothamist updated for hours...
UPDATE 11:24 p.m.: It's the NY dailies versus the Associated Press: The AP spoke to a source (one who is not "authorized to speak for Kennedy") who "says she has renewed her determination to win appointment to the U.S. Senate seat once held by her slain uncle, Sen. Bobby Kennedy." Basically Uncle Ted's seizure only gave her "misgivings" but the source seems to think she's still going for it. Are Cuomo, Gillibrand, Maloney et al. hoping the AP has it wrong?
Please, Caroline, go home. No matter the reason.
The Post's original, cryptic scoop offered no rationale for Kennedy's withdrawal. Then, a person "told of [Kennedy's] decision" told the Times Kennedy chalked the move up to her worries about Sen. Ted Kennedy's ill health.
People immediately started calling bullshit. Ted Kennedy has been on deathwatch since before the start of Kennedy's non-bid bid for senate. Now she's worried?
What a story. The whole thing, not just the squibble of fiction dribbled out at the end..
NYT (who, I see, went with a photo from December of CKS at the Gee Whiz diner, so appropriate):
Mrs. Clinton resigned from the Senate on Wednesday, immediately after being sworn in as secretary of state. The governor has said privately and publicly that he would like to select a woman to succeed her, noting that if he were to choose a man, the number of female senators would drop to just 16.
So, Gillibrand moves up? And Maloney? (Not as if I know… I just guess from 2,700 + miles away.) I feel like I am at a table of donated items at the Goodwill, or the St Vincent de Paul. Charity. How miserable it all is.
In other news, not unrelated… Tapper on with Charlie.. saying, when asked about the relationship of Team Obama (don't get too close and ask about Gawd there, Charlie!) to the media..
Well some of us try to report from our feet rather than our knees.
Local Democratic aligned talk radio is bitching, as I flip it on at 1:18 am to see what is up, that Hannity refers to Obster as "the Messiah". "How dare he". And "it's just plain wrong".
Then quit with crafting that bullshit… it seems simple to me.
Good luck to all.

The spectacle of all those "unnamed Kennedy Family source" statements was rich. I knew when the NYT didn't change its online story (or changed it very little) for hours that she was going down. Boy, we sure have had a couple of dramatic lessons in real-time political euthanasia over the past year – first Spitzer, now this.
It's just as well… she was a lame candidate and the media would have just hounded her for two solid years if she was picked.

6. What really killed her, I think, was the revelation that she had not been voting. It was after that came out, that you felt the ardor toward her distinctly cool, even among the Democratic hoi polloi.
It's something that an ordinary celebrity candidate might have been able to brush off, but not a Kennedy.

In the immortal words of Ms. Mitchell:
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev'ry fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
Thanks for all the chuckles, princess! (You too, pullers, pushers, Paterson, and polls!) Look forward to your next comedy stylings – whenever!
Um, waiter, can we get an extra senator here please?

Mufflered laughter in moderation . . . .
And we have another update from nonny-mouse sources to Capitol Confidential:
An aide to Caroline Kennedy said that it was a "personal situation, not involving Sen. Ted Kennedy" that prompted her to withdraw from the race.
The aide said Kennedy was "getting positive indications both personally and professionally" that she would be favored by Gov. David Paterson. The aide couched that assertion in saying that she had not been informed of a decision made by the governor, but that she had been getting a "decent indication" that it would go her way.
In the early afternoon on Wednesday, Kennedy became aware of a personal situation that did not involve her uncle, Sen. Ted Kennedy.
"After thinking about it for awhile," Kennedy called the governor, asking to be withdrawn from consideration.
The governor "graciously" suggested that Kennedy think about it for 24 hours before making her final decision.
Between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. last night, Kennedy told the governor that she was no longer interested.
In between the afternoon when she indicated that she might drop out, and the evening when she made her final decision, the NY Times and New York Post began to report that Kennedy was dropping out.
Chat with her accountant? Kids' psychiatrist? Confession from hubby? Unmarked envelope with topless photos, Masonic videos, and/or numbers of Zurich accounts?

AP, Reuters and Agence France-Presse Refuse to Distribute Obama Photo
NEW YORK Three news agencies refused to distribute White House-provided photos of President Barack Obama in the Oval Office on Wednesday, arguing that access should have been provided to news photographers.
The Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse said the White House was breaking with long-standing tradition in not allowing news photographers to capture the president at work in the Oval Office on his first day.
"We are not distributing what are, in effect, visual press releases," said Michael Oreskes, managing editor for U.S. news at the AP.
The news agencies have used White House-provided images in the past for areas in the White House where media access is generally not permitted, such as the Situation Room or the private residence. But they contend that the Oval Office is the public office of the president and photographers should have access rather than rely on a government handout.

Paterson said that on Wednesday he would begin reviewing the candidates' responses to the 28-page questionnaires he had asked applicants to complete. The forms asked about personal finances and other background issues, many of which Kennedy has long shielded from the public.
Kennedy, an author, lawyer and fundraiser for New York City schools, has long guarded her privacy, and the questionnaires were expected to include some closely guarded Kennedy financial data.
Paterson had said he thought the candidates' responses would be confidential because it was his personal request that they fill them out. But the state's open-government expert and good-government groups told the AP that once the forms were written and submitted to the governor at least some of the responses would be subject to public review under the state Freedom of Information Law.
I'd guess that's the reason she dropped out.

Pushback Begins
January 22, 2009
The "personal issues" that caused Caroline Kennedy abruptly quit her bid for Hillary Clinton's old US Senate seat early this morning are a "tax problem and a potential nanny issue," a source close to Gov. David Paterson told DN Capitol Bureau Chief Ken Lovett.
"She was facing some potentially embarssing personal issues" that came up during the vetting process, the source said.
After 18 hours of silence, Paterson's circle struck back at the daughter of Camelot, saying she was not a finalist for the job, although no formal statement from the governor has been issued.
"The governor had no intention of picking her because it was clear she wasn't ready for prime time after her botched rollout," the source said. "The events of the last day just proves why he wasn't going to pick her."
According to the source, Kennedy called Paterson yesterday afternoon saying she was feeling "unsure" and "overwhelmed" about her candidacy and asked for 24 hours to think things over, but "never mentioned withdrawing."
When the news broke, even her own advisors were caught completely by surprise and couldn't reach her for hours.
Kennedy called Paterson last night at 11 p.m. and apologized for "being missing in action," the source said. She then said would be issuing a statement saying she was still in the running for Clintons seat.
An hour later, without telling the governor, according to this source, she released the statement saying she was withdrawing her name from consideration, the source said.
"It came as a shock to us," the source said. "That was the first we learned of her intention to withdraw."

Ugh, apparently even Uncle Teddy is PO'd at how it went down…
Of all the many ways in which Caroline Kennedy's brief and unofficial candidacy for the U.S. Senate was mishandled, one final ungraceful note is striking particularly close to home. Sources close to Senator Edward M. Kennedy tell TIME that his circle — including his immediate family — is furious that his brain cancer is being cited by some in her camp as the reason for her decision to withdraw her name from consideration for the Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Clinton in New York.
"It looks horrible," says one former aide to Ted Kennedy. "It makes him look like he is at death's door." In fact, those close to Kennedy, 76, say that while the Senator is suffering occasional seizures, like the one that sent him to a hospital on Tuesday during the celebratory Capitol lunch for the newly inaugurated President, he is generally doing well.
This whole thing generally smacked of Nouveau Kennedy so I'm not surprised Big Daddy is nonplussed.

From Feminist Majority Foundation:
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel halted the publication of Bush administration regulations Tuesday, including regulations from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that threaten women's access to contraception and comprehensive health care that were scheduled to go into effect that day. In a memo, Emmanuel said that "no proposed or final regulation should be sent to the Offices of the Federal Register…for publication until it has been reviewed and approved by a department or agency head," according to The Hill.

Wait, it gets "better"…
A source close to Kennedy insists she quit because her husband, Edward Schlossberg, decided he didn't want her to move to Washington.
"He basically said it would destroy the marriage if she moved to D.C.," said the source, who spoke to Kennedy and Schlossberg Thursday.
In a round of interviews several weeks ago, Kennedy said her family supported her Senate bid and denied her marriage was on the rocks.
The source close to her said, as it appeared Paterson could choose her in the next few days, Scholssberg became increasingly uncomfortable.
"He's kind of a controlling guy and I think they've [been] doing the same thing for many years and he's comfortable with that," the source said.
Wow… first it was Teddy's illness, then it was taxes and nannies, and now it's her controlling husband.
None dare suggest it was her utter unsuitability for the job? Naw, couldn't be that.
The Kennedy legacy seems to now consist merely of a shell filled with anonymous hangers-on…

Hey, Markos, Cue the Suicide Watch…
Before the fawning posts start climbing to the top of the Kos diary section by people prostrating themselves before the genius and grace of ATTORNEY KENNEDY who could not, um, you know, possibly have had anything to do with such sordidness because she lives in a world of sunshine, lollypops and rainbows that is known as CAMELOT and is obviously just the victim of unscrupulous VERMIN like Michael Bloomberg and Josh Isay, who you know "handled" Joe Lieberman, which it was not okay to mention because that was GUILT BY ASSOCIATION but that was before and this is now and so now it's okay because it was an honest MISTAKE and how was she to know what reprobate SCALIWAGS were doing on her behalf because she is not a political HACK she's a PRINCESS and a constitutional scholar who has written books about the CONSTITUTION, okay they were kid's books but kiss my ass SHE KNOWS MORE ABOUT IT THAN YOU DO, they might want to read all the way to the end:
" Multiple reports suggested that those around her — and possibly Caroline Kennedy herself — are citing her uncle's condition as a reason, despite the fact that his illness and prognosis has been known for months. The New York Times, for instance, wrote in its Thursday morning edition: "The person who spoke with Ms. Kennedy said she cited concerns about the health of her uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who suffers from brain cancer and was hospitalized after a seizure Tuesday, as the reason for her abrupt withdrawal."

The first whiff of decay in her bid came when La Caroline blew into Syracuse for 30 minutes and refused to answer questions, not realizing that the local press would make a stink about that.
By the time she reached Rochester a couple hours later (hey, New York's a big state to cross dontcha know – you can't just take a limo, there's serious driving and/or flying to be done – you can fit a couple of Massachusettses inside), it was all over the Internet, all over the blogs, all over the Times and the Post and the Daily News.
That was the first stage. The second was, uh, um, the Youtube video. The Internet strikes again.
The third was the not-voting thing. That's when the Dem insiders began to wrinkle their noses. Internet not required for that.
And the final act, last night, where once again she got completely owned by the speed of the Internet.
Do the Kennedys have computers? Just wondering.

Supposedly Paterson will now deliver us with a Bouncing Baby Senator at noon tomorrow. Don't you just love surprises?
Starting to think he definitely won't pick Cuomo now, just to avoid another Appointment Sideshow (for a replacement AG) while the Scramblelot egg is still fresh on his face. Lotta talk about Gillibrand again, and da Gov is apparently the keynote speaker at some sort of energy and agribiz summit at the FDR Libary on Monday. (Not too keen on that possibility myself. But after the Kennedy meltdown, maybe Patti Smith still has a chance!)

Re the Inaugural crowd crush and many disappointed special ticket holders…
The photo accompanying this article, I'm afraid, probably is going to be an apt representation of the hopes of some Obama supporters over the next four years (it seems unavoidable)…
I understand the human desire to flock together, but I distrust crowds and crowd control so strongly that I would have a hard time agreeing to go down to DC for something like this (unless it were to just hang out and people-watch and not try to see any events). I had briefly considered, during Deanmania, going to NH, but just a quick initial request for information from the local Dean "organizer" made me immediately drop the notion, because it was clear they just didn't have anything coherent to say in terms of instructions. So, I can't truly scoff. This was me, 5 years ago (except, I didn't go).
I can't believe there are people blaming this fuckup on Bush. Or, really, blaming it too much on Obama. Sadly I think people think "Ecstatic crowds! Nation's capital!" and dream of MLK, Woodstock and other sunnier times. Times have changed. Nobody in the U.S. is prepared for crowds – or rather, they ARE prepared; very prepared; those folks were herded into those tunnels quite efficiently, and they went very trustingly.

Sources: Kirsten Gillibrand Chosen to Fill Clinton's Senate Seat
PIX NEWS is being told that Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand is the reported choice of Governor David Paterson to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton. Two Congressional sources say members of the New York delegation have been invited to join Governor Paterson for the announcement in Albany at noon tomorrow.
Two members of that delegation, agreeing to speak without attribution, told me that the Governor has telephoned New York's Democratic members of Congress for their views after Caroline Kennedy withdrew herself from consideration. One of the contenders, longterm Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney canceled a scheduled appearance on "PIX News Closeup" tomorrow because of a "conflict," which she did not disclose. She too will be in Albany. According to the sources, Gillibrand, now in her second congressional term, was favored by Secretary of State Clinton herself. Paterson has been under pressure to select a woman.
While some insist Gillibrand is the Governor's choice, another New York Congressman cautioned tonight that "It's not a done deal." He claims there is some political in-fighting and ongoing conversations with the Governor. There appears to be some challenge to Gillibrand's voting record. She's now serving her second term. Reached for comment, the Dean of New York's Congressional delegation, Charlie Rangel, would say nothing more than that he's been invited to join the governor for an announcement tomorrow morning.

…(I would bet it is an old plan, resuscitated) to shift prisoners from Guantanamo to some of the larger bases…
Yeah first thing that came to my mind were the previous plans to send some to Afghanistan……
Report: US Planning Gitmo-Style Prison in Afghanistan
"The Financial Times is reporting the US government is planning the construction of a high-security prison in Afghanistan to hold detainees. The planned site for the jail is Pol-e-Charki, a rundown prison near Kabul that dates back to the Soviet era. The jail would be phased in as an alternative to the US military prison at Guatanamo Bay, Cuba, where the US is currently holding more than 500 people. Another 500 prisoners are under US detention at military facilities and secret locations across Afghanistan."
oh…and speaking of Afghanistan…..
Guantanamo Bay may get all the press, but Bagram, the US detention center in Afghanistan, holds over twice as many prisoners, and it's proving just as difficult to close. Plans to transfer its roughly 630 inmates to a US-funded Afghan prison outside Kabul have failed, the New York Times reports; the new building isn't big enough to hold them all……

Right. I remember you mentioning that before. Ironic, because I was looking for the transcript to post what he said when asked if the Army Field Manual (aka "no torture" now) would apply to OBL. He said he'd have to check with the NSC. So I guess that means there's a "waiver" when it comes to torturing OBL then? That's how it sounded.
As for this supposed torture ban, Obamalama repeatedly said "the US does not torture" when he was campaigning, so what exactly is he banning then? (Busted.) And since when does the CIA follow the Army Manual? Do they get a "waiver" then too because they're covered by law (the MCA) for the torture they do i.e. they can't be prosecuted for it. I remember that well because I was outraged that McCain supported that piece of garbage when he claimed to be the anti-torture crusader. Hypocrites The lot of them.

Belated thanks to IB for the presents she left me in the last thread.
Just got back from a two-day stint stuffing brochures for some enviro-org downtown. This should infuriate Unemployment tomorrow because they'll want to know why I didn't report it three days ago when I was plugging all the info into their telephone "service"– Info which they may or may not have received;No way to tell since I waited an hour for a human to answer the fucking phone, to no avail.
I'll be down there tomorrow when they open. Remember, Kids and Kits. If I don't return alive by sundown Friday, it's only because I died of ecstasy over The Bold New Chapter In American Life [tm]. I mean, Golden Man gets sworn in and –boom !– I get almost $120 post-tax for two days work ! Of COURSE it's interconnected !! It's all interconnected !
Can I get an "Amen," please ?
The best part of OR's Unemployment phone "service" is the pious lecture you have to listen to at the beginning, before the music. Some patronizing fuck explaining that it's not an entitlement because it comes from your EMPLOYER, not from you, smelly peasant.
Oh, fuck you, State of OR. You know what ? It's my goddamn money, earned in over two decades of suffering through shit job after shit job putting up with shit people and tasks repetitive enough to make a brain-damaged chimp cry. You can throw up as many obstacles as you want, but there's no place you can hide it where I won't come after it.
Eat me.
On a totally unrelated note, I saw some headline today about how "new glamour" is descending on DC thanks to Mrs. Obama. Frankly every outfit I've seen her in so far looks like crap. I might add that you'd think this sort of thing would stick in people's craws, rather than being cause for celebration. We're in a fucking depression, Assholes. Maybe Michelle should go buy a 9 buck pair of jeans at Goodwill and then pass out bags of lentils in front of the White House gates. Seems to me that might be a tad more, uh, "in fashion."
Also some jackass on LJ is burbling and twittering because Obama has publicly asked "what shareware is. Oh, wow. Our President is 'curious about things.' Isn't it wonderful ?"
I know what shareware is, you babbling stupid asshole. I think it's kind of sad that Obama doesn't know. Why would I rejoice that his party wants to help auction off the internet to the highest bidder before they have a fucking clue about how most of it works.

As far as US prisons in Afghanistan go, the Canadian military stopped handing over prisoners to your guys there years ago to assure they wouldn't be tortured. And when we had our torture scandal up here, our gov't assured us that the Red Cross had been monitoring prisoner treatment there but the Red Cross (breaking with its protocol to remain silent about such things) said publicly it hadn't checked on their welfare (not their fault though). So much for checks and balances.

In other awesome local news, the Mayor-elect is in trouble because he had non-Biblical relations with a male aide at some point where said aide may or may not have been at the age of consent– which I believe is eighteen hereabouts. Oh, and he hired a local reporter for some staff job she wasn't qualified for;Now the ex-reporter is earnestly explaining that it never occurred to her that this might look… y'know, awkward.

Ms_X the state certainly has no right to give you a lecture about feeling grateful to your fucking employer… but they are right in that regard. The state and federal unemployment system is paid for by a tax on employers of at least the first $7,000 annual payroll for employee. The Federal rate generally remains constant, but the state rate is determined by a calculation of unemployment money paid out versus unemployment paid in and the general rate of turnover for the business ['experience rating']. Stable businesses that don't lay off to many people typically have unemployment rates of 1.25% of the first $8000 of so of payroll. Businesses with greater turnover see much higher rates. the entire system is funded by employers. Is that right? Well that's another issue entirely…
But the system is primarily funded by a tax on employers that is adjusted annually based on the account they've built up with the state and the rating of their average turnover.
So the facts of the lecture aren't incorrect. I actually think it is one of the few things we've gotten right to a certain extent – a system of forcing employers with a greater turnover to pay more in unemployment taxes – and keeping close account of the record, which state departments do.
On the other hand, anyone making you feel guilty for, or obstructing your taking unemployment should be made to lie on a feather bed, confess the atrocities they've committed, and be given a choice of featherbedding Antarctica or watching turtles mate in the Galapagos.

Tac Tool Reviews
Tac Tool is a 16-function multitool that promises to replace an entire toolbox of tools, while remaining small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and tougher than the competition.
What is Tac Tool?
Inspired by the multi-tools used in the military, Tac Tool by Bell & Howell combines 16 useful tools into a single device that you can carry with you anywhere in the palm of your hand.
Specifically, these include flat grip and pipe grip pliers, a hammer and nail remover, a multi-size wrench that adjust to between 6 mm and 10 mm bolts, along with must-haves like a regular knife, serrated knife, saw, large and small flathead screwdrivers, Phillips head screwdriver, bottle opener, wire cutter, and file.
In addition, the commercial advertises that Tac Tool is tough enough to survive the harshest conditions and to "take a beating that would destroy other multi-tools."
Multi-tools have been around for decades, since they were originally invented by Tim Leatherman in the 1980s. But does Tac Tool represent a new, innovative design, or should you keep looking and consider the competition? Does it actually represent a toolbox worth of tools in the palm of your hand?
Here, we'll provide the details you need to take a more informed next step, starting with price.
How Much Does Tac Tool Cost?
One Tac Tool will cost you $19.99, plus free shipping. During checkout, you can purchase a second Tac Tool and a bonus TacLight flashlight for an additional $10 fee.
All orders come with a 90-day money back guarantee, less S&H, which you can request by reaching out to customer support at 844-771-2611.
Who Makes Tac Tool?
Tac Tool is manufactured by Bell + Howell, a brand that's been around for decades and also makes other products in the lineup, including the original Tac Light, as well as Lantern, Lamp, Zoom, and Tape.
Bell + Howell is owned by E. Mishan & Sons, based out of New York, NY. They held an A rating with the Better Business Bureau, based on more than 90 closed complaints, as of 3/15/18. Although a company representative responded in each instance, most seemed to reference lower quality than expected.
How Can You Choose Between Tac Tool & Other Multitools?
You probably already realize there are perhaps thousands of different multitool models and configurations available from hundreds of manufacturers, at just about every imaginable price point.
Even restricting your options to only those that contain more than a dozen tools, along with a hammer, we encountered several models that appeared functionally similar (or even identical, in some instances) to Tac Tool:
- Sheffield 12913 Premium 14-in-1, $10
- Stanley 11-in-1 Hammer Multi-Tool, $11
- Ultimate Survival Technologies Hammer Tool, $16
- Wilouby Hammer Multi-Tool Set, $14
- Hammer Beast Multi-Tool, $16
- Kikkerland Design 10-in-1 Hammer Tool, $20
At $20, Tac Tool is at the upper end of the price spectrum compared to much of the competition, but it also seems to come with the most tools. And while it also comes with free shipping, at least one model (Kikkerland) was available locally at Bed Bath and Beyond at the time of our research, which could not only save on S&H charges, but could also put it in your hands faster—assuming speed is important to you, of course.
When it comes to purchasing a multitool, what should you focus on? The number of tools? Price? Something else altogether?
Writing for Outside Magazine, Wes Siler emphasizes that it's all about the multi-tool you're most likely to carry with you, thereby allowing you to address repairs as needed in real life. "When in doubt about any other facet of multitool use," he says, "refer to this rule."
In other words, opting for the biggest, baddest multitool (versus the one that's easy to tote around with you) is rarely the best idea, since it "defeats the entire mission of a multitool: capability, conveniently carried."
Along these same lines, and specifically referencing one of Tac Tool's main marketing claims, he points out that multitools are not intended to replace an entire toolbox. "Instead of trying to find a multitool capable of solving any repair need you can possibly imagine, focus on finding one that can deal with common, day-to-day problems and is small and slim enough to carry easily," he recommends.
In another article for Gizmodo, Wes zooms in on this concept and points out that you'll want to focus on specific needs by making "a list of what your most common field repairs are going to be and a list of important emergencies you'd like your tool to be able to help with. Then, shop accordingly."
Finally, while he points out that knife blades are often a mainstay in multitools, not having one isn't necessarily a deal breaker. After all, he points out that most are "made from cheap steel, include pointless serrations, and are weakly mounted, and the shape of the handle and the way the knife is attached limit your ability to use the blade's entire length."
Pulling all of this information together, where does it leave you when it comes to Bell + Howell's Tac Tool?
Our Final Thoughts About Tac Tool
Based on what we learned from the Tac Tool website and commercial, as well as from the in-depth multitool buyer's guide from Outside Magazine and Gizmodo, Tac Tool seems to offer a variety of tools that could come in handy in countless situations—especially if you don't have your toolbox nearby.
And while it might not necessarily be something that's small enough to discreetly carry on your person on a daily basis, it does seem to feature a compact size that might work well as a backup, especially when stored inside a glove compartment or alongside your camping gear.
Furthermore, it comes from a company with decades in business, who has a mostly positive online customer reputation, and who stands behind the multitool with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee.
Just keep in mind that if you're dissatisfied with its performance and decide to process a refund, you'll have to pay to ship it back to the company, and you'll also lose any fees associated with the BOGO/TacLight offer.

Crooks and con artists
Ordered two Tac Tools about two months ago and still have not received either one of them. Checking their order status page, I find it interesting that the order date on a their order status page advanced after the first thirty days passed without their shipping it. This has happened twice now. In my opinion, unless you enjoy having your money stolen, you need to avoid these scumbags like they have the plague.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Sean & I went to the temple 5/21. Nichole was nice enough to watch Keilei for us! It was so nice to go. It had been too long. The weather last week was crazy. Sunday it was 100 degrees then Monday it hit 110. A couple days later on Thursday it went down to the 60's and rained all day. It was so weird. It seems to have leveled out again though.
Sara Winger & Brody Banham
I also have a friend getting a mastectomy on the 6th. I really wanted to be there for both of them!
I am flying up the 31st and then Sean is going to drive my car up on June 10th. He will then fly back on the 14th. So basically I have to pack what Keilei & I need for a week. Then pack the rest, what we will need for the next 3 months, into my car before I leave. It is such a pain.
Sean and I would just drive up together on May 28th but I am teaching a enrichment class on how to make headbands & bows May 29th. I am going up there for the summer for a couple reasons... And No, Sean & I are getting along great just incase you are thinking that. No problems here.
One - I want to get away from the heat for a little while
Two - Sean is working sooo much overtime. He will work for 72 hours then come home for a day then work another 72 hours, off one day, work 48, off one. Basically I hardly ever see him lately.
Three - I want to spend time with family & friends. My sister Kristi & her 5 boys are coming down from Alaska to live in Logan for awhile. And I haven't seen her in a long time. She has 2 little boys I have never met. I also have a bunch of friends I want to spend some time with, them and thier kids.
Well I'm off to pack yipee.

For many associations, getting players enough time on the ice is like a seven-game playoff series. It's a constant battle.
In Warroad, that just isn't the case.
Players in this small town can take the ice at any time, day or night, to hone their skills. This has been a tradition in Warroad for decades and one Jude Boulianne inherited when he took over as rink manager of The Warroad Gardens.
In the past, various community members had keys to the rink and could open it up whenever it was available. In Boulianne's time, that has changed. Ice time has to be scheduled now.
Warroad continues to provide its players plenty of ice time. If you look at the amount of hockey talent that has come out of this hockey hotbed, it's a testament to how this community consistently produces top-end players.
Since Warroad was incorporated as a town in 1901, the town has yet to see its population get above 2,000. The most recent numbers list the population at 1,794.
While Warroad might be small, its list of accomplished alumni is head-turning.
It starts at the Olympic level, where seven Warroad natives have represented their country. Roger and Bill Christian helped pave the way with the 1960 U.S. Olympic Team that won gold at Squaw Valley. The Christian named was carried on by Dave Christian as he played on the 1980 Olympic Team in Lake Placid, N.Y.
At the pro level, five players have come from Warroad. In today's NHL, Warroad is represented by Brock Nelson and T.J. Oshie.
This success continues down to the collegiate level, where more than 80 Warroad natives have played Division I hockey.
On the women's side, it starts with the Marvin family. The first family of Warroad hockey has found success at just about every level. They're led by Gigi, who was a standout at the University of Minnesota. She has also played for Team USA at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympic Games and has a shot at a third appearance with the U.S. in 2018.
During Boulianne's time in Warroad, he's learned just how important this city is to not just the community, but to hockey fans everywhere.
"When I first moved here, I knew a lot about the history," Boulianne said. "But I didn't realize how many people go out of the way to stop and see our rink."
The rink has become such a destination that it was the subject of an NBC Sports documentary called "The Road Through Warroad." This 30-minute special gives fans an all-access pass at life in the self-proclaimed "Hockeytown USA."
As it can be seen, Warroad has become a destination. Fans go out of their way to check out this mecca-like hockey town. They stop and check out the rink, even when nothing is happening on the ice.
"What surprises me now is just how many people are passionate about a town they don't live in," Boulianne said. "People always say that they've always wanted to come from Warroad, even if they're from a place like California."
While Warroad might not boast a high population like some of its fellow Minnesota-based hockey associations, the Warriors have had no problem competing with the State of Hockey's highest competition.
In 2016, Warroad made the state tournament in 12U girls and Bantam A. In the Bantam tournament, the Warriors ended up as state runner-up.
On the high school level, Warroad has been a consistent force. The Warriors have won four boys' state championships and two on the girls' side in the past 20 years alone.
Though Warroad could boast about success, the focus for this association is development.
"I don't see our success being measured on how far we go in the playoffs," Boulianne said. "We have so many student-athletes playing multiple sports and I think that's one of the reasons we are successful."
In the community, Warroad's various teams have found success from many donors. This list includes local businesses and famous alumni such as Oshie or Nelson.
"A lot of the people supporting our program like to stay in the shadows," Boulianne said. "They don't want the self-promotion."

12/4/17 – Apps And Jailbreaking Your iPhones
In 2015, more than 225,000 Apple accounts were compromised thanks to a piece of malware knows as Keyraider. The Chinese program was targeting iPhones that had been modified by way of the process known as "jailbreaking." Thankfully the majority of iPhones were safe since jailbreaking is only possible by way of intentionally circumventing restricted areas of the phones file systems. It left the phone user's information completely vulnerable to hackers by way of malware programs masquerading as entertainment apps. Having access to a user's email account alone could have a domino effect wherein all of the accounts that email is linked to; banking accounts, mobile phone carriers, and social media accounts; are now in the hands of someone other than the user. This is the holy grail of identity theft opportunities and a financial nightmare waiting to happen. Questionable apps can open users to a host of malicious processes, most of which are intended to steal personal info like passwords and bank numbers.
So how do users protect themselves?
The first step is easy, don't jailbreak your phone. Restrictions on what your phone can access are there for a reason, and trying to get around them generally doesn't end well. Next, you'll want to do an audit of the apps on your phone, and what information those apps have access to. Take note of what apps access personal info such as your photos, social media pages or your GPS information. Limit the number of apps you use, and when using banking apps always have the most updated version. Vary your passwords, have strong passwords, and keep a list of them, preferably a hard copy; somewhere else. If you use a lot of public Wi-Fi hotspots, invest in a mobile VPN, and above all use common sense.
Obviously, there's no way to catalogue the list of steps one should take to protect themselves from mobile cyber-attacks, but there are ways to limit one's risk and exposure. We hope this blog helps you make your identity that much harder to steal.
Mobile Matrix Repair is excited to announce our extended holiday hours! Find us at Hanes Mall in Winston Salem, NC from 9 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday and 11 AM to 7 PM on Sunday!

SkyDrive Explodes with New Platforms and Features
Buckle your seatbelts! Since its hiatus the Building Windows 8 blog has come roaring back with lots of new content in the last week (see my previous blog "The Return of BW8: Two Posts!!" for info about its recent resumption of activity). Monday, they fired off another salvo with a SkyDrive related blog entitled "Making personal cloud storage for Windows available anywhere, with the new SkyDrive." Here's she skinny on what you'll find available right now through the Microsoft SkyDrive pages (Windows Live ID required for sign-in and use). And right now, those who already SkyDrive qualify for a free upgrade from 7 to 25 GB of storage space. Considering that adding 20 to 100 GB of storage costs from $10 to $50 a year, that's a pretty good free offer.
But there's more to the latest iteration than more storage. SkyDrive is now accessible via a preview app on Windows Vista, 7, and 8 in 106 different languages. Users can access, browse, or stream files from a remote PC running the new preview app which works on lots of different platforms, as depicted below:
Set-up is fast (under half a minute) and easy, and I'm already transferring files among Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs, and my MacBook Air, plus my iPhone and iPad. Way cool. Be sure and give it a try (and if you're already signed up for SkyDrive, be sure to upgrade from your original 7 GB allotment to the 25 GB made available to us pioneers).

Rathfriland Rangers suffered a chastening defeat to NAFL 1B side Grove United in Belfast to end hopes of a repeat of last year's heroics in the country's top cup competition.
The Whites took on Crusaders in round five last season but a generally slack performance cost them their first defeat of the season on Saturday.
On target for Paul Kirk's men were Jonathan Scannell (2), Thomas Lockhart and David Graham, but poor spot-kicks in the shootout meant it would be an early exit.
Lockhart struck a wonder-goal to level the scores just after the half-hour, his dipping volley crashing over the line off the underside of the bar.
And Scannell made it 2-1 before half-time when he lifted a shot over the keeper. Grove levelled on 89 minutes and took a 4-2 lead in extra-time.
Graham and Scannell hauled Rangers level but eventually paid the penalty for a poor shoot-out.

'The Fisherman's Daughters'
Oil on panel 9.5″ x 8"
James John Hill RBA
British 1811-1882
James John Hill was a painter of landscapes, rustic genre and portraits but more widely known for his fantasy subjects of pretty smiling peasant or fishergirls, either singly or in groups with landscapes or seascape backgrounds.
'The Fisherman's Daughters' is a beautiful study of two sister's eagerly awaiting their father's return from a fishing trip. The elder is already helping in the 'family business', fishing nets over her arm and fishing bag and tackle by her side, while the younger sister leans dreamingly on her shoulder, flowers adorning her hair, seemingly without the concern of her elder sister. The sea can be seen in the backgroud with a flock of seagulls flying over the water.
James John Hill was born in Birmingham, where he studied before coming to London in 1839. He exhibited at the British Institution, being elected a member in 1842 and also at the Royal Academy 1854-1868. He enjoyed considerable success during his lifetime and one of his patrons was Lady Burdett-Coutts, for whom he painted many portraits, animal and dog studies. He frequently visited Ireland, inspiring him to paint his coastal scenes with fisherfolk at work on the beaches – mending nets, fishing, collecting cockles and oysters.
James John Hill's pictures were often reproduced lithographically for the Illustrated London News. He sometimes colaborated with the artist Henry Bright (1814-1873), painting the figures in his landscapes.

As smartphone and tablet usage by physicians continues to rise, medical schools are seeing the importance of incorporating these devices into their curriculum. Here's a list of nine med schools that either require students to purchase mobile devices or equip them with these devices along with a brief explanation of how these students are using the devices to further their study of medicine.
Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University
Incoming students at Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School will be required to purchase iPad 2s as part of their curriculum. They will also be required to purchase the Inkling e-book app to download medical textbooks. The three texts required for first year students include Essential Clinical Anatomy, Grant's Atlas of Anatomy, and Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking. The Inkling app allows for purchase of individual textbook chapters, a business model that aims to save students money on expensive textbooks. Brown will still require purchase of the print versions, however, and the per-chapter model was not a deciding factor in the college's decision to go digital.
In Alpert Medical School's orientation materials online the school tells students that they will "most likely want a case, a stylus and possibly a keyboard for your iPad." The school encourages students to purchase any desired accessory, however, it also notes that "a team of students" is currently "testing different models" of devices and accessories as they create a manual for how medical students can best optimize their iPad use while in school.
UC Irvine School Of Medicine
Last year, UC Irvine's class of 104 first-year medical students received free 16GB 3G iPads preloaded with first year medical textbooks. This year's class will receive iPad 2s, thanks to a $1.2 million anonymous donation funding the iMedEd Initiative at UCI. The medical textbooks in hardcover format total $70,000 in list price, while the digital editions cost around $40. The initiative will continue for at least another two years. Students have used the device to create new workflows, including annotating PDFs and incorporating diagrams from their texts.
"Additional content includes course outlines and handouts, slide presentations and essential first-year textbooks in a digital format that allows highlighting and notation. Students will have access to audio and video libraries as well as podcasts," the school stated in a release. "And technological advances such as digital stethoscopes and handheld ultrasound units are currently being configured."

There is a parallel trend where the new wave of social networks which are gaining popularity (e.g. WhatsApp, Line, WeChat, Kakao Talk) share a common trait -i.e. they are inherently private or limited within groups of close acquainted which chimes really well for social based "shareable" & 'trustable' communication which offers a huge opportunity for personalized or private mutual group decision based commerce.
We have highlighted this trend earlier in our earlier post where "Messaging Apps Are Becoming Ecosystems" with growing user base are expanding capabilities facilitating digital transactions and commerce. WeChat, for example, is already allowing verified sellers to create shops within their platform in China, and, Kakao, Line and other similar players are already heading in the same direction. In India, Kavin Bharti Mittal, CEO Hike Messenger, an Indian messaging app with more than 17 million active users, announced that they are looking to transform into a full-fledged commerce platform.
These platforms are, firstly, taking a lion share of consumer's digital lives and now want to extend that to capture share of consumer's digital wallets. They are trying to high the cusp of Social Communication & Commerce which we define as "Social commerce"
All social media platforms are trying to grab the opportunity by converting from a social communication platform into a social commerce platform. To build on this trend, even broader public social networks such as Twitter, Pinterest and others are experimenting by integrating buy button in their platform, however, a publicly facing social platform can be powerful but inherently noisy and looks weaker on buying UX scale.
On the other hand, the companies such as Flipkart, Amazon, Snapdeal, Rakuten, Alibaba, PayTM(One97) which started as e-commerce platforms have acquired millions of users but are feeling the heat from the likes of WeChat, Line and are realizing the importance of "Social Commerce".
At the moment, social messaging apps instantly are helping bridge the gap between customer preferences and building trust leveraging the social communication system. Below are some of the key elements driving social-commerce.
• Reviews: Which is very powerful for any buying behaviour - leads to authentication and if it comes from known trustworthy person that increases the authenticity of the product.
• Recommendations: Automated algorithm base recommendation system is useful for generic purpose but not the best solution for matching personal test or preferences. Rather, Sharing, Liking, recommending to friends inside or outside the platform which is more relevant in personal level contextual purpose.
• B2C Communication: Connect sellers and buyers on P2P communication basis increase loyalty and easy grievance handling.
eCommerce integrating Messaging:
The first step for these e-commerce platforms was to spend on ATL & BTL marketing to acquire users which worked well for some- but not a good long-term strategy. However, the second and the important step is "retention" of customers. By adding a communication link into the platform which makes it more sticky, social and trustworthy. In India, particularly QuikrNxt was the one of the early movers which connected sellers and buyers on its classified platform Quikr using the messaging functionality. Flipkart is adding Ping, Paytm also wants to add a messenger functionality. However, these 'to be social commerce' companies have their work cut-out with converging strategies for their platforms. The "Survival of the Fittest" will kick in soon and these platforms will need to excel on the following fronts:
1. Loyalty schemes: Next steps would be focusing on increases in transaction value per users through loyalty schemes.
2. Rotation of Money: Stronger balance sheet > cash in hand > stronger R&D >stronger investment in platform UX
3. Post Purchase Recommendation: Aligning recommendations post-purchases, which is very weak now,
4. Partnerships: Usability of the platform will be directly proportionate to numbers of relevant partners, who can provide meet users expectation.
5. Number and quality of offline resellers: Only looking at numbers of partners won't be a good parameter but quality of them will be key. Alibaba has lot counterfeit goods in their platform which is ruining the trust factor, therefore to combat counterfeiting and protect Unilever's brands by stepping up the company's participation in Alibaba's Blue Stars program, in which each product is tagged with a unique QR code that allows the consumer to verify its authenticity and origin.
So in a few years down the line Flipkart and others will all look for more integrated solutions rather than a stand-alone e-commerce app. Players such as Amazon will need to up their game to compete with these local giants.

Just some little silly things that I'm enjoying at the moment! Here is my mid-summer going UP list…
Firstly, sunny country walks – always one of my favourite things to do. Except when cows are involved of course. I like cows, honest, just had a nasty run in with a rogue one a few years ago, and am not keen on them getting too close when I have a dog close-by these days! Anyway, why am I talking about cows? Here are some more relaxing photos:
Secondly, veggie cooking.
The most exciting thing in my world right now, is of course new projects!! And especially those to do with cooking lessons… I'm sure I will share more on this over the next month.
Hope you like my list! Haven't made one in a while, but was inspired by this weekend's Sunday Times Style section haha… feel free to share your current likes & dislikes in a comment!

Tax rates should have dropped
You might want to re-examine the figures for your article on King's property taxes. You are giving your readers the false impression that their property taxes will be flat this year. In fact, the average King homeowner is facing a 7.5% increase in their property taxes because of the increase in MPAC assessments (ie the assessed value of everyone's home).
The proposed budget introduced to council in January provided for a very reasonable 2.3% increase in spending. This would have required the collection of $25.7M from King residents for 2017. If MPAC assessed values had stayed constant, the property tax rate would have increased slightly to fund the budget. However, MPAC assessed values finalized this spring increased by 7.5% in line with the heated GTA housing market. As a result, the property tax rate set by council should have dropped to fund the January proposed budget of $25.7M.
Instead, council decided this week to keep the tax rate flat at 0.0093% and collect $27.9M from King residents, $2.2M more than the $25.7M proposed in January. The extra $2.2M collected from King residents this year is being transferred to the reserve fund. While planning for a rainy day is always a good idea, the reserve funds were already very sufficient before the transfer. Council could have made the prudent decision and dropped its residential rate to account for increases in assessed values similar to the City of Toronto and other municipalities. Instead, their decision will cost King residents dearly when they open their final tax bills this summer.

As it's the last day in France, we do a cake reccy, and yes at this ungodly hour we find an open boulongerie and not only open but full of people
Cake fever must have hit us as Dave decided to add a bit of excitement to the morning and drive on the other side of the road !!! But after seeing someone driving towards us on the same side, reality hit and Dave reverted to the proper side phew !!! Next stop Spain, the Pyrenees come into view
Then over the border into Espania !!!
Stopped at the lovely town of Roses for our lunch, brie and baguette would you believe!!! Followed by CAKES !!! YUM YUM the best up to now. Then a mosey on down for a walk around the town.
Lovely place and the weather is getting warmer, so the sunglasses are out and Dave nearly put his shorts on !!! Stayed the night in our second paying site in Bellcaire d'emporda because we needed a shower, 10 euros without leccy.

This is the forth book published by the young Joseph Murphy, in 1966, after his bestselling first book 'The Power of Your Subconscious Mind' and the next two, 'Miracle of Mind Dynamics' and 'The Amazing Laws of Cosmic Mind Power.' While I have read all of Murphy's books, the present one is the least conceptual and the most practical one of them. In fact, most of the book consists of stories taken from daily life and the author's travels and lecturing tours, and his many encounters with people who became his clients or enjoyed free consulting.
