In other news, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will hold a briefing on January 16th to inform the public how to prepare for nuclear war. So there's that.
Meanwhile, Trump wants to open up virtually all coastal waters for oil drilling, a potential plan that was already drawn opposition from lawmakers and governors, including Republican governors. Everyone remembers Deepwater Horizon.
Finally, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has found some voter fraud; an old Republican man who voted for Trump and Kobach.
In November 2016, Fullmer cast ballots in both states. He figured that because he pays taxes in both places, he was entitled to have his voice heard in local and state races in two states. He only voted for president, Donald Trump, in Kansas.
Now he is facing four felony charges — two counts of voting without being qualified, one count of voting more than once, and one count of "advance voting unlawful acts." If convicted of all of them, Fullmer faces steep fines and two years probation.
"I didn't know I had multiple charges," Fullmer, a registered Republican, told ThinkProgress Friday by phone. "I just voted in state things in both states. In only one of the states I voted in the general." The 67-year-old small business owner said he was unaware that the law prohibits him from casting ballots in state or local races in multiple states.
Also: this is exactly right. Every word of it.
Have a good weekend.

Fast-growing premium cooler company Yeti gets what it's like to live in just as fast-growing Austin.
A new billboard on South Congress Ave. both touts the Austin brand's extreme cooling capabilities (it's almost like you start to miss melted ice) and comments on the city's ever-increasing, ever-painful rising cost of rent. And living. And food. And have you guys been to the movies lately?
According to a recent list by GoBankingRates, Austin's necessary income to live "comfortably" is the 12th-highest of all major U.S. cities. That means if you're making the median household income in Austin of $55,216, you should have $1,000 of extra spending money at the end of every year.
Almost enough to buy a Yeti cooler…

This week has been pretty busy since we have power week and also different events that we have been invited to attend. During the power week, we have to try our best to achieve some different mission goals throughout the week, such as power book of Mormon day, power, talking to families day, power baptism invitation day etc. It really keep us busy throughout the week.
Just a small miracle that happened on Tuesday when we have a power book of Mormon day-- As my companion and I were about to leave the chapel after dropping off something for the elders, there was a lady walk into our chapel and look for foreign missionary for help. She wondered if one of us who are good at English can record an English children story for her son so he can pronounce it the right way for a story telling contest. Elder Dawson offered to help but we think it's a good opportunity to take her on the church tour so we waited for a while. Long story short, we took her on the church tour and at the end gave her a Book of Mormon. She agreed to meet with us again this week so we'll see if she is the prepared soul ^^
On Saturday we were asked to help out with the youth missionary day in Jia Yi district. We were all paired up with one youth and take them out to do street contact for 2 hours. My 2 hours companion is Sister Xiao from Jia Yi. She is only 17 y.o and did a great job. The first person we contacted at a traffic light told us she passed by the chapel a couple times and curious what it looks like inside but never really dare to go in by herself. We told her we can totally take her on a church tour if she has time. Though she couldn't make it right then, she agreed to meet with us (though I won't really be there consider it wasn't my area) on Wednesday. I thanked the Lord for giving us that experience because it gave Sis. Xiao more courage to talk to next people that we met on the road.
Sunday! I just love yesterday. We had a missionary devotional and it was presiding by Bishop Gary Stevenson who serves in Presiding Bishopric of the church. He and his wife both gave really inspired talks that make me felt so uplifted. Sister Stevenson invited all of us to be PRO to Heavenly Father by doing 3 things each day : 1. Pray over and over 2.Read scriptures time after time 3. Obey again and again. And after we have done this each day, we gives a thumb up to each other who also committed to do it. I love it! And this is my invitation for each of you this week: Share with your family and friends, do it with them and give each other a thumb up when you see them each time to let them know you've done it!
Well, that's pretty much the juice of the week. It might be my last week in Dou Liu because it is the last week with training Sister Hsu. Since I've been here for a while they will most probably move me. So if you want to know where is my next area, wait up for my email ;)
Love you all and hope you have a super good week with the Lord blessings,
My companion, Sister Xiao for 2 hours on youth missionary day. She is cute and bubbly.

ERS Disability Menu
Highly experienced Texas Social Security Disability Lawyers
When you think of "disability benefits," you may not realize there are actually different kinds of benefits.
Generally speaking, all forms of disability benefits are intended to supplement the income of someone suffering from a disabling medical or mental condition that prevents them from working. Because your disability prevents you from working, either partially or completely, your condition can affect your income causing financial burden.
On top of losing income, you may be struggling to pay for the medical costs associated with your disabling condition.
If you can no longer work because of a medical or mental condition, you may qualify to receive a form of disability benefits known as Social Security Disability Insurance benefits.To ensure the best possible results for your benefits application, contact disability lawyers at Bemis, Roach & Reed today.
What is Social Security Disability Insurance?
Social Security Disability Insurance, or SSDI, is a type of benefit that is linked to how long you worked prior to being disabled. While working, you pay money for Social Security taxes, thus "insuring" yourself in the event you develop a disability. This type of insurance benefits workers who have paid into the system in previous years. SSDI does not depend on your level of income, which means that your income level will not prevent you from qualifying for SSDI. However, to qualify you must be considered disabled by the Social Security Administration.
Who is Considered "Disabled"?
The Social Security Administration is the federal agency that collects taxes for SSDI and also pays these benefits out to qualified recipients. This agency is responsible for determining who is considered disabled, and who receives disability benefits. The Social Security Administration defines a disability as a medical or mental condition that is expected to last at least one year (or result in death) that prevents someone from working. Your condition must prevent you from working in your current (or most recent) job, or at a similar job. On top of that basic definition, some benefit applicants must prove with medical evidence that their condition causes certain symptoms or complications. These criteria are found in the Social Security Administration disability listings. These disability listings explain what symptoms you must have in order to qualify for benefits due to your condition.
Should I Hire an Attorney?
Applying for SSDI benefits is notoriously difficult to do alone. Various forms have to be completed, a lot of paperwork is involved, and the process can be quite lengthy. Consider that while applying for SSDI benefits, you are also trying to cope with your disabling condition. Trying to manage a disability while going through the difficult application process can be overwhelming if you do it alone. If you are interested in applying for SSDI, you should contact the Austin, Texas disability lawyers at Bemis, Roach & Reed.
Our attorneys have been helping Texans for over two decades, and we can help you. We will work closely with you throughout the entire application process, and will answer every question along the way. Take the first step to getting the disability benefits you need and deserve. Call us for your free initial consultation. Call 512-454-4000 and get help NOW.

A new hard-hitting campaign to encourage people to report unwanted sexual
behaviour on public transport has been launched today by Transport for
London (TfL), British Transport Police (BTP), Metropolitan Police Service
(MPS) and City of London Police (CoLP).
The campaign forms part of a programme of policing activity to eradicate
unwanted sexual behaviour on London's transport network.
Building on the ground breaking 2015 'Report it to Stop it' film,
which has been viewed more than 13 million times on YouTube alone, the new
campaign underlinesthat every report matters, is taken extremely seriously
and provides valuable information to help catch offenders. The film also
warns potential offenders that they could be caught at any time.
TfL's most successful campaign film has helped encourage women to come
forward and report unwanted sexual behaviour that makes them feel
uncomfortable - with a 36 per cent increase in arrests since its launch.*
Since TfL and the police launched the Project Guardian partnership in 2013,
with the aim of eliminating unwanted sexual behaviour from the transport
network, the number of annual reports has doubled from 1,023 in 2012/13 to
2,087 in 2015/16.
Those who experience unwanted sexual behaviour on public transport do not
always feel they will be believed or that the offender will be caught. The
new campaign film has evolved to tackle head-on those misconceptions,
highlighting how every report matters, is taken seriously and used by
police to bring the offender to justice.
The film shows a successful businessman, presenting to colleagues in an
office, his face is pixelated. Voices of women recalling their experiences
of various types of unwanted sexual behaviour on public transport are
heard. As each woman recounts her experience the man's face becomes
increasingly visible until he can be seen clearly. At the end of the film
the man is apprehended by police, with his colleagues left in shock.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "Keeping Londoners safe is my top
priority and I want all women and girls to feel confident travelling on our
transport network. This vital campaign highlights how any form of unwanted
sexual behaviour is unacceptable, and victims must be given the right
support when they report offences. By working together with partners, we
can raise awareness of these crimes, give women and girls the encouragement
they need to come forward, and bring perpetrators to justice. I urge
Londoners to speak up and report unwanted sexual behaviour to the police
immediately, if it happens to them."
Siwan Hayward, TfL's Head of Transport Policing, said: "We are determined
to eradicate unwanted sexual behaviour on the transport network. It is
never ok. We care about our passengers and the journeys that they make. Our
new 'Report it to Stop it' film builds on our previous campaign's success
and encourages victims to come forward and report anything that makes them
feel uncomfortable. No matter how insignificant they feel it may be, every
report is taken extremely seriously by police and investigated so the
offender can be caught and brought to justice."
BTP Superintendent Jenny Gilmer said: "Tackling all forms of unwanted
sexual behaviour on public transport is a priority for British Transport
Police. We have worked hard to send a clear message to people who
experience this that they will be taken seriously and we will investigate
offences. It is really important that people report any kind of unwanted
sexual behaviour to us as soon as possible – time is of the essence so we
can exploit all evidence gathering opportunities. Every report, with as
much detail as possible helps to build a picture of the offender."
Detective Chief Superintendent Paul Rickett, from the Met's RTPC, said:
"The MPS Roads Transport Policing Command, will continue working in close
partnership with TfL to engage in high visibility operations and regular
patrols, focussing on crime and anti-social behaviour on the bus routes
across London. We take reports of unwanted sexual behaviour incredibly
seriously and will continue to work closely with our policing partners to
rid our transport network of this kind of behaviour.
"If anyone experiences any unwanted sexual behaviour on our transport
network, I would urge them to report it to the police."
Detective Inspector Anna Rice from the City of London Police Public
Protection Unit said: "The City of London Police is proud to support Report
It to Stop It. Unwanted sexual behaviour is unacceptable in every area of
our society, including on public transport.
"If you make a report to us, you will be listened to, taken seriously and
treated in a sensitive manner. I know it can be daunting, but by reporting
such incidents to police the better chance we have of tracking the
perpetrator down and bringing them before the courts."
Rachel Griffin, CEO of Suzy Lamplugh Trust, said: "I'm extremely pleased
TfL and their policing partners continue to tackle this important issue.
Unwanted sexual behaviour is unacceptable. I hope this campaign gives
people the confidence to come forward and report incidents, with the
knowledge that they will be taken seriously."
As part of the campaign, dedicated action days are being carried out by
TfL, BTP, MPS and CoLP at key station hubs across the Capital. At these
events officers will be providing specific advice to the public on how they
can report instances of unwanted sexual behaviour.
To report
or call police on 101 and give details of what, where and when.

Mike Elliston's new play, TRAILER/Trash, is the latest step in a long and varied career. Since winning a Fringe First at the 1983 Edinburgh Festival for his short play Bread 'n' Butter Guns, he has written for numerous TV productions (including a brief stint on infamous soap opera Crossroads) and been a freelance and regular script reader for the Royal National Theatre, Yorkshire TV, the King's Head and Bill Kenwright Ltd.
TRAILER/Trash – which reunites Elliston with David Verrey, the director of Bread 'n' Butter Guns –follows the fortunes of Frankie and Dottie, two dreamers who have created fantasy lives based on movies and the fantasies sold on the back of cereal packets. Frankie is a waitress who wants to be the 'big cheese', the man in the tux she once saw in a film; Dottie is a stripper who wants to headline in Las Vegas. But can they achieve their ambitions from their trailer-park home?
Frankie and Dottie are acted by Amanda Price and Mary Steadman, who together form Famous & Divine – a performance company who explore the space between dance and theatre. They have toured nationally and internationally, winning 'Best in Show' for Fugitive Songs at the 2011 Houston Fringe Festival and 'Best Show' for The Red Room in Belarus.
I spoke with Elliston a week before TRAILER/Trash's opening night on 25 October at the Hen & Chickens Theatre in Highbury. We discussed what inspired the play, why he thinks film is so important to society and how he has used career frustrations to challenge himself creatively.
Where did TRAILER/Trash come from?
I've always wanted to work with Famous &Divine, so it's a collaboration in that respect. Although I'd worked with both of them individually over the years, I hadn't worked with them as a company. Then, last year, they asked me to write something erotic for them. They're two very unusual performers and women in their 40s and 50s. Roles for their type of actor are very difficult to come by, especially challenging ones. So we started knocking a few ideas around. Originally, I was going to write about the sex life of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, because I think that would be very interesting. Amanda, who is one half of Famous & Divine, likes exploring male impersonation as a genre of performance, so I thought she'd perfect as Albert.
So why did your idea change?
As I was developing concepts, I started talking about maybe making a site-specific piece, and making it portable. Amanda has a long history of academic study in portable theatre and she said, off the top her head, 'let's make it a trailer'. And I said, 'no, let's make trailer trash!' It was as simple as that. The whole idea just revealed itself before me – it really was like divine inspiration, if you can be modest in saying that!
What does the play explore?
We're using the culture of movies as our backdrop. These two women live in a weird fantasy world, as if they're in a movie – they just don't know it. There are a lot of subliminal references, but very few direct ones. Culturally, that's how we absorb the images and themes we receive through cinema and entertainment into our everyday lives. People's little sayings and mannerisms are bastardised from movies or programmes they've seen.
Is TRAILER/Trash intended as social comment?
I wouldn't say it's a comment; I would say it's an observation. Although I've been a very political writer in the past, there is no political overview with a capital 'P' to this play. It's really an observation of how culture informs our life, impeding or influencing the way we behave, the way we dress, the things we say – without necessarily coming to any conclusions. What are some of the most misquoted things? 'I've always relied on the kindness of strangers.' It's so interesting how we bastardise lines from films and then they become part of our general lexicon. Really, the most political aspect of this show is in how the production has been put together.
How so?
In several ways: first, I'm working with two women who are above the usual age group that most companies want to work with or offer opportunities to. The fact that we've privately raised the finance means that we're offering our tickets at a much lower price on the fringe than most other companies. We've taken note of what Lyn Gardner has said in her Guardian blogs about fringe theatre overpricing itself and driving punters away. Also, as well as aiming for as broad a reach as possible, we're focusing on promoting the show around Islington, Highbury and North London, because we feel that there's a very strong local market.
What role does male impersonation play in TRAILER/Trash?
Amanda's character, Frankie, actually starts off as her biological self, Phyllis. She's a waitress in the Sunrise Diner, where she has to conform; she has to wear the diner outfit and be nice to all of the punters. She doesn't want to be a guy, but she's got male urges. She wants to dress like a guy and she wants to talk like one. She wants to be accepted as a guy, but she doesn't want to go through a sex-change. She just doesn't really know where she is, so it's about putting a question mark over gender and exploring the power of role-play.
What being male, in the context of Frankie's world, represents?
It's about her sense that, if she can attain that identity, she'll have attained freedom. So in many respects it remains a fantasy or a dream. But as the play progresses we see her change, and we hear the reactions of the outside world to the guise she is in. We hear reported abuse, of people saying, 'You don't fit the mould, so I'm going to label you, to give myself power by belittling you.' Amanda's character is desperately trying to struggle against that view. She only finds acceptance in her strange and odd companion, Dottie. They have a relationship where anything goes, but Dottie has the power. Although she's the most stereotypical 'female' of the pair, she plays the alpha male role. They're not a couple – it's not that kind of relationship – but they have a bond. They're a bit like Laurel and Hardy, Morecambe and Wise or Abbott and Costello – these were very much influences on my characters. They don't conform to anything, but they work together in their own strange way.
Are audiences supposed to feel sorry for Frankie and Dottie, or cheer them on?
This entire show is about playing without shame. The audience's reaction is entirely up to them. Some people may feel sorry for Frankie, they may feel sorry for Dottie (and there's a whole back-story for them that gets alluded to). Some people may want to laugh at them, or with them. All of that is outside of our control. They way we do, in some respects, control the show is through performance. It's all done without shame, which is really important. Watching Amanda and Mary is quite extraordinary, I have to say.
Does Frankie's struggle with fitting in reflect the professional frustrations you've expressed elsewhere, in any way?
That would be my subconscious drive, I guess. Certainly, the way that we've built the production and managed to get it on has been informed by that. I mean, I'm 50 this year and it's been a long drag. When I won my Fringe First, I guess I could have been one of the next big things. I was feted, I had an agent in London – it was all so glittering. Then I went into TV and I hated it. It was completely wrong for me. I got sacked from Crossroads. How shit must I have been? It was a highlight of my career! And my last production in Edinburgh was a tale in itself. I can't go into too much detail – because I'd be sued – but it lived up to its name of Dead. There was a real death and a metaphorical one, in front of the critics. That could have actually thrown me off kilter completely, but it didn't. So while there's a certain amount of frustration in not being accepted – and I'm not sure I easily fit in anywhere – it's also a challenge. It's made me want to overcome my obstacles, and to get better. In many respects, I've spent the past two years, during which time I wrote TRAILER/Trash, rediscovering my artistic intent.
Is fringe theatre a liberating environment in that respect?
I love the availability and opportunity of fringe theatre. You're not confined to what dramaturges and subsidisers want you to do. I started doing a PhD recently, on dramaturgy, and it wound me up so much I had to stop. I hate the idea of someone coming to me and saying, 'right, your writing is really good but we need to restructure it, because we want X amount of people to read this.' I know it's all about commercial viability, but I grew up in the 80s with radical acts like Red Ladder and 7:84, seeing them in the flesh and working with them as a student. The idea back then that theatre could offer unlimited opportunities for self-expression without an overarching commercial imperative is really important to me. I think fringe theatre can still do that.
And when it doesn't?
Fringe theatre can be unregulated and, basically, crap. But I don't like going there, because I think everybody deserves opportunities and you've got to be allowed to make mistakes in order to find out what you're good at and how you can better yourself. In fact, the worst thing about fringe theatre isn't the product, but the perception of it by people in certain segments of the theatre industry.
Why did you decide to stage TRAILER/Trash at the Hen & Chickens Theatre?
The Hen & Chickens has a very dear place in my heart. Twenty-five years ago myself and David Verrey, the director, presented my Edinburgh Fringe First play, Bread n' Butter Guns, there. And we had such a great experience. We were Time Out's Critics' Choice, The Independent's Critics' Choice and The Stage loved the show as well. I love the venue, and the new management are just so open and friendly. They're very accommodating, very willing and they've done a great job not only of refurbishing the theatre but revitalising the pub below. It's a very strong community theatre and a real asset to that little part of North London, next to more well known places like the King's Head and the Union. It's lovely, it's small, it's cosy and it's contained, and I just wanted to revive some old memories really. I've had a great experience so far.
So, why should audiences come to the play?
Because they're going to see something they're not expecting. It's very funny, I have to say – even as the writer – but its humour is laced with tragedy.
TRAILER/Trash is at the Hen & Chickens Theatre from 25 October to 10 November. For more information, and tickets, go to: http://www.trailer-trash.me/

American Cane System
What is the American Cane System?
The American Cane System is a traditional martial art style founded by Grandmaster Mark R. Shuey, Sr. that uses a walking cane for blocks, strikes, kata, and self-defense. The style has been internationally recognized and demonstrated, including articles in the Wall Street Journal, features on CNN, the CBS Early Show, Fox News, and major martial arts magazines. The style is documented in a series of eight instructional DVDs, with supplemental resources available to certified American Cane System black belts for 2nd Degree and higher. American Cane System classes are taught by certified adult black belt instructors. The style includes 8 colored belt levels: white, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, tan, and brown, followed by 10 degrees of black belt.
This is a distinct style with standards, time requirements, testings, and certifications. It is different than other Cane Master International Association programs, such as Cane Ja, Cane Chi, and others which could be incorporated into an existing system or curriculum; instead, it can be offered as a second, separate style within an organization.
What if you don't offer classes where I live?
We know that not everyone lives close to our training hall. There are options for distance learning. Each rank up to 1st Degree black belt is documented with a series of instructional DVDs This allows students to begin studying at home. These students register as members and correspond by sending in short videos for feedback. Occasionally, they schedule a time to travel to our training locations to train in person with our instructors. If you are interested in learning more contact us:

Hydrangeas are deciduous shrubs or vines that produce massive leaves and an abundance of showy blossoms grouped in clusters of various colours including whites, pinks, reds and blues. You can separate the Hydrangea genus into five main groups: big leaf (Hydrangea macrophylla), climbing (Hydrangea anomala), oak leaf (Hydrangea quercifolia), panicle (Hydrangea paniculata) and smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens). Select a hydrangea species suited for your location for the best results.
Time frame
The best times to plant hydrangeas is after the chance of frost has long passed in late spring, in early summer or in the autumn. Hydrangeas grown in containers outside in nurseries or garden centres can be planted during any season, but midsummer plantings should be avoided, if possible. Plant hydrangeas on a cool and overcast day in the morning or wait until late afternoon to early evening on a sunny day.
Planting location
Find a planting site for the hydrangea that is large enough for the expected full-grown size in both width and height, which varies depending on the variety grown. The climbing hydrangea needs strong supports, such as a trellis or walls, since this variety can reach more than 15 metres (50 feet) in length over many years. Most hydrangea varieties develop more flowers when planted in locations with sun in the mornings and shade during the afternoon. Hydrangeas prefer well-drained soil.
Before planting
Water the hydrangeas well several hours and up to 24 hours before planting. Remove all foliage in the planting area selected and space the planting holes according to the plant's marker, if planting more than one hydrangea. Dig planting holes at depths that are equivalent to the containers or root ball of the hydrangeas, and at least double the width. Take the hydrangea out of the container, loosen the roots and place the plant in the centre of the hole.
Planting hydrangeas
Add soil to the hole until half-full; fill the hole with water to settle the hydrangea plant in place and to get rid of any air in the soil. Finish filling the hole and then water the area well. Cover the ground beneath the hydrangea's drip line with compost and 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) of mulch. Do not put any mulch against the stem of the plants. Supply 2.5 cm (1 inch) of water to the hydrangeas weekly any time rainfall is less through the summer.

Jaime: It must be strange for you, coming into this room. I was standing right here when it happened. He was very brave, your brother. Your father, too. They didn't deserve to die like that. Nobody deserves to die like that.
Ned: But you just stood here and watched.
Jaime: Five hundred men stood here and watched. All the great knights of the seven kingdoms. Do you think anyone said a word, lifted a finger? No, Lord Stark, 500 men and this room was silent as a crypt. Except for the screams, of course, and the Mad King laughing. And, later, when I watched the Mad King die, I remembered him laughing as your father burned. It felt like justice.

Every year I try to take a vacation in August, it sounds a little European but it is actually a great way to warm up from the chilly winter months and recharge for that last dash into Christmas.
This year I took a trip to Cambodia, a beautiful and fascinating country steeped in history from the reign of the khmer Empire in the 11th century to the devastating rule of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge during the 1970's. This is a country that acknowledges its past and is trying to redefine itself to build a future. In many ways its charm is its tradition and simplicity.
So if you decide to visit this beautiful country here are a few suggestions.
Accommodation in Phnom Penh
Raffles Hotel Le Royal – The grandeur of Colonial architecture with the luxury synonymous with the Raffles name create the ultimate stay, it's so easy to be swept up in its charm.Patio Urban Hotel – A great little contemporary hotel in a central location. Simple in its offering (and not in a bad way) and aesthetically well designed plus a fantastic roof top pool to enjoy a few cocktails at the end of a long hot day sightseeing.
Dining Out in Phnom Penh
Bahn Mi & Bros – My partner's favourite place in all of Cambodia, he could have gone back every day. The café is a modern and has its own delicious interpretation of Bahn Mi. A great lunch spot when exploring the local shops.
Foreign Correspondents Club – Although a little touristy in its offering, its location and colonial charm make a great spot to spend an evening on the balcony overlooking the busy Mekong river esplanade.
What to See in Phnom Penh
With so much History there is a lot to see, of course there are the usual Museums, temples and Royal Palaces all interesting and worth a visit. If you have time when you are in Phnom Penh it's important to understand Cambodia's recent history and the atrocities that occurred under Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge. To do this you need to spend the morning visiting the S21 Genocide Museum and the Killing fields. Although a chilling, heart breaking and sometimes unfathomable experience it allows you to understand the nation, what it has been through and how it is rebuilding itself.
Shopping in Phnom Penh
Central Market – For the ultimate in Cambodian market shopping you can't go past the Central Market. Situated inside a grand art deco building its sprawling corridors stretching out from the central dome can be disorientating but worth the experience.
Pidan Khmer – A small local handicraft store with beautiful fabrics and craft. It supports a program Caring for Young Khmer and teaches village women traditional weaving and dyeing techniques in order to make a living and preserve the traditional weaving and dyeing techniques.
Accommodation in Siem Reap
Viroths Hotel – I love this little hotel with only 35 rooms it's quiet, very central and has great service. Plus it's just cool. The combination of contemporary tropical Cambodian architecture and sexy 60's Scandinavian lines are perfect. You instantly feel chilled and relaxed here.
Phum Biatang – This is one of those bucket list hotels, set in a picturesque setting and resembling a collection of traditional timber village houses, this is the ultimate in relaxed luxury and also one of the hottest hotels in Asia at the moment.
Dining Out in Siem Reap
Central Siem Reap is a little dominated by tourist orientated dining offering 2 for 1 cocktails and 50c beer, so make sure you hunt around because in-between these are some great local haunts offering Khmer bbq and cuisine and of course if you want to be adventurous you'll find street vendors selling fired tarantula and crickets.
For contemporary culinary Khmer dining try Malis restaurant, the food is amazing and the service and setting are on point. Master Chef Luu Meng showcases local flavours and ingredients putting Cambodian cuisine back on the map.
What to see in Siem Reap
Angkor – You don't go to Siem Reap without visiting the fascinating city of Angkor once the capital of the Khmer Empire. Make sure you get up early and get there by sunrise it is defiantly worth it to see the sun rise over Angkor Watt the largest of the temples, take a guided tour as there is so much to see and they'll make sure you get the best out of the tour and educate you on the history of the various areas, structures and temples.
Jimmy's School – This is one you won't find in the guide books. Centrally located Jimmy voluntarily runs an afternoon English school, his mission to educate and create opportunity for young Cambodians. Anyone can drop in on the school which runs from 5-7pm, you can sit with the students and help them translate and decipher words. Their energy, eagerness and English skills are amazing. A very humbling and fun experience.
Ask Jimmy about village tours. He is also an amazing guide and will take you on a day trip to the remote jungle countryside outside Siem Reap. Starting the day at a local market to by need suppliers for the village you then make the trek on the back of a cart through the waterways and past some amazing untouched temples to visit villages where you can witness their day to day life and enjoy a true Cambodian lunch together. This was one experience I'll never forget.
Shopping in Siem Reap
Old Market – The market place is central to Siem Reap and you can by everything from meat to eggs and a fake Rolex. Although you may not spend much money here it's worth a stroll around and if something does take your eye, remember to barter for the best price especially early in the day as the first sale is good luck.
Kandal Village – Nestled in the leafy central neighbourhood north of Pub Street and south of the Old French Quarter you'll discover Siem Reap's rising arts culture precinct. Home to a vibrant and eclectic new mix cafes, galleries and homewares shops unique to Cambodia.

As far as heists go, the disguise was cartoonish — the thief was swaddled like a ninja from head to toe. His method was neither high-tech nor elegant — he kicked in doors and smashed glass cases. But his taste was impeccable, and sporting: his haul included the 1903 Belmont Stakes trophy, a silver Fabergé soup tureen and ladle given by Czar Nicholas II of Russia to an American harness horse impresario and the United States Amateur Championship trophy that completed golfer Bobby Jones's Grand Slam in 1930.
In all, in less than 18 months trophies and memorabilia valued at nearly $1 million were stolen from three museums and a country club in New York and New Jersey by what the authorities say is probably the same male suspect. The thefts have caught the attention of the F.B.I. and antiques dealers, have broken the hearts of horse racing and golf enthusiasts, and have prompted theories ranging from the common street crime variety to complex schemes worthy of "The Sopranos."
Even as rewards for information have topped $35,000, the cases remain unsolved, which has become increasingly disheartening for officials at the victimized museums.
"These are one-of-a-kind trophies that are, well, priceless," said Brien Bouyea, a spokesman for the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., where five trophies valued at a half-million dollars were stolen. "They have a unique look. You just can't sell them on eBay."
How the thief has eluded the state and local police as well as the federal authorities is a product of intelligence, not dumb luck. Why he has homed in on cherished hardware from the sporting world is a matter of debate.
"Whoever it is is experienced at what they do," said John Catone, an assistant chief with the Saratoga Springs Police Department. "The question is, is it about having something of historic value or is it about melting down the gold?"
At the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, as in the previous thefts, Catone said, video surveillance shows that the thief worked quickly and confidently. He smashed two cases with about a half-dozen trophies in each. But he took only five in total. Three of them had significant amounts of gold: the 1903 Brighton Cup Trophy won by Hermis (35 ounces, 18-karat gold); the 1905 Saratoga Special Trophy won by Mohawk II (76 ounces, 18-karat gold); and the 1914 Brook Cup Handicap Steeplechase Trophy won by Compliment.
The Belmont Stakes Trophy captured by Africander and the 1923 Grand National Steeplechase Trophy won by Sergeant Murphy were silver.
"He obviously knew the place and knew what he was coming to get," Catone said. "He was out in less than three minutes."
With gold prices in the last year reaching as high as $1,700 an ounce and silver at $30, it does not take a horseplayer to calculate that the odds are pretty good that the trophies have been melted for their metals and a big score.
"I've never seen a significant secondary market for trophies," Robert Wittman, a former senior investigator and founder of the F.B.I. Art Crime Team, who now has his own protection and recovery firm. "At the same time, they are not the best thing to steal for the melt. There's a lot of garbage metal in there to get to what's valuable."
Melting down the trophies could also be complicated because the items have been listed with national and international art registries and, with the help of the F.B.I., according to Catone, word of them has been spread to art and antique dealers.
"We have flooded the zone," he said. "There are a limited number of professionals who can melt and extract the full value from them."
It appears the thief started off modestly, then grew bolder and more particular.
He first came to the attention of the authorities in New Jersey in May 2012 when Somerset Hills Country Club reported trophies had been taken from its clubhouse. A week later and 15 minutes away, in Bernards Township, he struck the United States Golf Association Museum, making off with the United States Amateur trophy and a replica of Ben Hogan's Hickok Belt, made of alligator skin and with a solid gold buckle and an encrusted four-carat diamond, which Hogan received in 1953 as the nation's top professional athlete.
"We don't discuss value, but we consider it significant," Joe Goode, a spokesman for the United States Golf Association, said of the belt. "And the U.S. Am Trophy is priceless, as it dates back to 1926 and was the trophy that completed Jones's Grand Slam in 1930."
Last December, the thief broke into the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame in Goshen, N.Y., and made off with the Memphis Gold Challenge Cup, the gold Weaver Loving Cup and a Tiffany basket-shaped bowl, as well as 10 other trophies dating from 1895 to 1946.
"We were targeted because we looked like we were easy," said Janet Terhune, the museum's director. "The common thread of all these were that we were all easy hits."
Museums might have been inviting targets because they would have allowed the thief to spend hours blending in with patrons as he took note of security protocols and selected his high-value targets. All are in sleepy neighborhoods with security limited to alarms and some surveillance cameras. All were hit quickly at night.
While the consensus is that the trophies were taken for their gold, Wittman said there was a possibility that a collector with a particular taste might have wanted them. Terhune hopes that he is correct.
The Fabergé soup tureen and ladle, for example, are far more valuable intact. They were a gift from Czar Nicholas II to C. K. G. Billings, a wealthy industrialist who was known as a grand marshal of matinee racing, thanking him for bringing harness racing to Russia.
"Our best shot of recovering them is if someone has the items on display in a private collection," Terhune said. "Maybe someone fancied it and had a buyer for that piece and then took the rest to melt them down. It's probably crazy for me to say this, but I hold hope that they will be found intact. They were such special treasures."

From time to time physicians, dentists and other healthcare professionals are called upon to make recommendations for, or respond to inquiries concerning other professionals. Sometimes this involves inquiries received from state agencies, hospitals or other healthcare entities. Sometimes it is the result of a direct request from the other professional for a letter of recommendation.
A case decided in May 2013 by the Court of Appeals for Franklin County, Ohio demonstrates why healthcare professionals should exercise great care in responding to these types of requests or inquiries.
The case of Calloway v. Ohio State Medical Board, involved a physician who completed a recommendation form for an out-of-state physician who was seeking medical licensure in Ohio.
The out-of-state physician (a Dr. Rice) was seeking licensure in the State of Ohio. He requested that an Ohio physician complete a Certificate of Recommendation that could be used in connection with Dr. Rice's application for Ohio licensure. The Ohio physician agreed to do so.
In the Certificate of Recommendation, the Ohio physician certified that Dr. Rice was of good moral character, and recommended that he be licensed to practice medicine and surgery in the State of Ohio. In the certificate, he rated Dr. Rice's medical knowledge and technique as excellent, his relationship with patients as excellent and his ability to work well with peers and medical staff as excellent. He executed the certificate before a notary public. However, the facts which later emerged disclosed, among other things, that Dr. Rice had been convicted of a felony count of grand theft of personal property, had disciplinary actions taken against him in the State of Illinois and New York for impairment, and had been found to have committed gross negligence in the practice of medicine, and unprofessional handling and treatment of a patient.
During a hearing conducted by the Ohio State Medical Board, it was disclosed that although the Ohio physician and Dr. Rice had been students together in medical school many years before, the Ohio physician had never observed Dr. Rice's interactions with patients, peers and medical staff, nor could he recall ever having observed Dr. Rice's medical techniques, despite rating him as excellent.
In spite of this, after protracted administrative and court proceedings, the Court of Appeals determined the State Medical Board had failed to make the requisite finding that the Ohio physician had knowingly made or affirmed the truth of a false statement in completing the recommendation form. The court also held that even if the Medical Board had expressly made such a finding, there was no reliable, probative or substantial evidence that would support it.
Although the result was fortunate for the Ohio physician, it no doubt necessitated the expenditure of a significant amount of time and energy on his part. His legal fees would have been substantial. All of this could have been avoided had he simply advised Dr. Rice that he did not feel himself qualified to provide the sort of recommendation that Dr. Rice sought given their lack of any contact for many years.
The Ohio physician may have felt himself simply doing a favor for an old acquaintance. However, as this case illustrates, care should be taken in filling out any sort of recommendation form involving another person. No one should provide any sort of recommendation where they do not feel sufficiently knowledgeable to provide information. Indeed, if you are being asked to provide a recommendation with regard to someone you barely know, the logical question is why someone who had better familiarity with the individual was not asked for comment.

God has a mission in the world, what is usually referred to as the missio Dei (the mission of God). In understanding the missio Dei, we find that God as a creating God also creates the church through the Spirit, who calls, gathers, and sends the church into the world to participate in God's mission. This participation is based on the redemption that God accomplished through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a redemption that was announced by Jesus as the "kingdom of God" (which I prefer to re-frame as the "redemptive reign of God in Christ"). This redemptive reign of God in Christ is inherently connected to the missio Dei, which means that God is seeking to bring back into right relationship all of creation. Or as Paul put it in 2 Corinthians, "In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself" (5:19). The Spirit-led, missional church is responsible to participate in this reconciling work by bearing witness to the redemptive reign of God in Christ as good news, and through inviting everyone everywhere to become reconciled to the living and true God.
Jesus then came into Galilee announcing the good news from God. All the preliminaries have been taken care of, and the rule of God is now accessible to everyone. Review your plans for living and base your life on this remarkable new opportunity. Dallas Willard's paraphrase of Mark 1:15.

Great bottle/no accidents
I have not had to use it on duty yet, but I have seen a few other officers have accidents with the pepper spray they carry in terms of it accidently going off while holstered in there belt. This bottle is built extremely well and after one year of part-time, no accidents.
As good as the other brands. Shoots a strong accurate stream about 15 feet. Product stays stable for the entire shelf life. Its fast acting and effective but does no permanent injury. I've been spayed with Sabre Red and MSI OC and can't tell much difference between them. They all work well. It's also 100% organic food grade and non toxic so no liability. Excellent product!

New Zealand must-do: Tongariro Alpine Crossing
January 1, 1970
by Edgaras Katinas
So, I have just come back from one of the biggest adventures in my life – a two-week backpacking around New Zealand. This blog post will talk about one of the must-dos while visiting North Island of New Zealand – Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
What is Tongariro?
Tongariro is a national park just south of Taupo Lake and is a place of one of the best one-day hikes in the world. The whole hike takes around 20 km and you will have a chance to get up to 2 km height. Even though some parts of it are very challenging, due to steep surfaces, rocky ground and heights, the walk gives you stunning views and picturesque landscapes. If you have time and are fit enough, you can even hike up to a volcano.
Plan your hike
The hike takes between eight and nine hours, surely it can be longer or shorter, depending on your pace and physical preparations. I went there physically unprepared, meaning that my last gym visit had been months before. You do not need to be a fitness guru to hike up, however, some physical preparation will really benefit. Those who mostly work sedentary work and who exercise very seldom might have some difficulty. However, take your time, stop whenever and wherever you want and enjoy the hike – it is indeed the most important!
On top of this physical preparation, you should do some research regarding the weather conditions for your hike day (you can access the official weather forecast here), also buy some food and water, maybe even a bottle of celebratory sider or beer to celebrate a little on the peak (this is what we did with a friend of mine). Bear in mind that you will be hiking up the mountain and that the climate is very quickly to change. One minute the sun is shinning and you want to take your sweater off, the next one strong and cold wind blows and you zip your jacket up. Some people even take gloves, however, I think this is totally unnecessary, if you hike during the summer or early autumn. Make sure that you were very comfortable shoes!
How does it work?
I would distinguish three options for the hike. Surely, based on different experiences they may differ and are not the only options to consider.
Option A: You start at Mangatepopo village. There is a car park, where you can leave your car and start a hike. The first part of it, up to Soda Springs, is relatively easy and does not require much of physical preparation. This section of the track is fairly flat, well formed and board walked in damp areas to provide stability under foot. Marker poles line the track. It takes around 1,5 hours and following the path you will reach a mountain spring. I am a person who loves water, thus this spring brought lots of excitement to me. Even though the water is unbelievably cold, it is very refreshing to wash your face or even step in and cool down your feed after a long walk. Personally for me, a great place to have a short picnic before the real hike up the hill starts. After Soda Springs, you may continue and hike up the hill or turn back and head to the car park. The first option of continuing is more recommended.
You should spend around four to five hours to reach the Peak of Tongariro Mountain. The section between Soda Springs and South Crater is called "Devil's staircase" and is indeed relatively challenging: it is a steep climb from 1400 to 1600 metres above the sea level. On a clear day, you will have spectacular views opening up, thus you will actually stop unintentionally to take pictures and simply enjoy the views. This section requires particular attention while hiking, because the surfaces are not stable, since underfoot you will be trekking over layers of ancient and modern lava flows and other volcanic deposits.
If you have more time, and good stamina, you may choose to climb the summit of Mount Ngauruhoe. Head for the old lava flow as this is the easiest route up the peak. Unfortunately, I had no time, thus needed to skip this peak. It looks very challenging, however, I am sure that the views are spectacular. You should be able to look down the crater as well.
Following on, you will have some time to relax, since part of the next section is flat. Enjoy the flat, as it will not last forever. The difficulty of this section increases gradually, and the final part of it, to me, was the most difficult. There were no tracks, only a very rocky and steep surface. You must be extremely caution, because it can get very blustery on a windy day. However, again the risk and efforts to climb up are totally worth it, because the end of this section opens up spectacular views over the Oturere Valley, Rangipo Desert, Kaimanawa Ranges and the Emerald Lakes.
By reaching this point, you have completed the hardest parts of the whole crossing. The rest will be of moderate difficulty, and you will be mostly walking downhill. Following on, you will pass by the blue lake and even further reach Ketetahi car park. From here you can take a shuttle bus, which will transfer you back to Mangatepopo car park, where you left your car. Bear in mind that it is better to book in advance, since the price will be lower.
Option B: This is the option that I have undertaken. Due to lack of time, I arrived at around 10am to the Mangatepopo village, which is a bit too late. However, if you are running out of time and arrive late, do not stress, you can still do the hike. There are no groups or instructors who you should follow, you can start and finish whenever you wish and wherever is convenient for you. This option is actually longer, however, takes the same amount of time, around seven to nine hours. So, I started in Mangatepopo and climbed up all the way to Red Crater, afterwards I used the same route to head back to Mangatepopo where the car was dropped off. This hike is longer, approximately 25 km, because the biggest part of the hike forward is actually completed, and you need to use the same route for a return.
Option C: If you have time, you can take a tent and actually sleep in the mountains. However, I was not planning on doing it, therefore, I do not have any information about the restrictions regarding it. The best would be to contact Tongariro National Park and enquire specifically. I assume that the might be limits, depending on the weather forecasts and seasons, however, if all seems to be good weather-wise, it is definitely a thing to do!
Things to bear in mind
- You must think about the weather conditions in the mountain. Since it is an alpine crossing, the weather changes very quickly. I hiked in early autumn, so the weather was still okay, not too cold, not too warm, however, I would not hike in the winter or on a rainy day. Moreover, think about the length of the day. When I hiked, it got dark at around 7pm. Remember that you must reach your car before it gets dark, otherwise it might be dangerous.
- Understand that the environment and all ecosystems are very fragile; therefore, be cautious not to leave any rubbish. Litter increases the numbers of insects and pests in the national park, which can have dramatic consequences for the creatures out there.
- Always follow the track where possible. Those tracks are created to protect visitors. Some places may be very dangerous if you do not stick to the track. Think if a crazy picture is worthier your life.
- Apply sunscreen regularly to avoid sunburns, especially on your face.
- Finally, do not be demotivated by the possible difficulty of the crossing. It is challenging, but all types of people manage to accomplish it and reach the end. Nobody forces you to finish it in a couple of hours, you can stop as many times and you want.
I do really hope that if you are going to New Zealand soon, you will definitely choose Tongariro Alpine crossing as one of the activities to do. On top of all spectacular views and amazing time spent there, it is totally free (well, the shuttle from one village to another costs, but the crossing itself is fully free of charge)! If you are not planning on going to New Zealand soon, I still hope that you enjoyed this post.
Until we meet again!

Virginia Truck Accident Attorney
Auto collisions are complicated enough, but become even more so when a commercial truck is involved. When a larger vehicle is involved there are various ways to categorize the accident. For example, accidents involving large trucks (including delivery vehicles, box trucks, or tractor trailers) can be classified as head-on collisions, under ride or override accidents, jackknife or rollover crashes. Any and all of these categories of truck accidents can result in serious injury, disability or fatality. As with most auto and truck accidents there are considerations like road conditions, equipment failure, and driver performance that must be taken into account.
Interstates are said to be the safest roadways, but this is where most commercial vehicle and truck accidents occur. Large trucks account for a very small percent of total registered vehicles, yet per unit of travel, these trucks are involved in more fatal crashes than passenger vehicles.
According to the most recent 2010 report from The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety the number of accidents involving semi truck, tractor trailer and commercial vehicles is on the rise.
- 500,000+ commercial vehicles and large trucks were involved in accidents
- 100,000+ people sustained serious injuries
- 5000+ fatalities
Contact Experienced Truck Accident Attorneys
If you or a loved one is in an accident involving a commercial vehicle or tractor trailer, it is a difficult and overwhelming time.

How to Choose a Card for Stand-Up Comedy
The best card for your stand-up addiction depends on how you prefer to experience comedy.
If you see a lot of live comedy shows near you or like to go out on the town, you might want a card that rewards dining or entertainment purchases and grants access to tickets. But if you like to stay in and watch stand-up on TV, a card that rewards other purchase types will be a better fit.
If you frequently travel to see your favorite comedians, consider a card that rewards travel or gas expenses.
What Is Required to Get a Card for Concerts?
Cards that provide awesome rewards usually require good to excellent credit. You should know your credit score before you apply, as a hard inquiry from a credit card application can ding your credit score. You can check your credit report for free at Credit.com.

Mandu: Jami Masjid
The elegant Jami Masjid at Mandu. More of a temple of justice than of prayer, it had galleries for ladies and a jury box. Hoshang Shah's tomb, just behind the Masjid, is an extraordinary white-marble mausoleum that predates the Taj and is, apparently, its inspiration.

DAW Buyers Guide Contents
A word of advice
Which system is the best? That depends. Would you buy a Rolls Royce car to help you to collect and distribute food aid? Would you buy a three-wheeler for rally driving? The answer is that the best system is the one which meets your particular requirements and, of course, your budget.
For some, the price of a system will be the most important factor, and there are now many affordable packages available which take advantage of standard computer hardware.
However, calculating a realistic cost may not be so straightforward, given the number of variables involved in configuring a system for a particular application. If you are considering a software-only solution for your existing computer platform for example, do your CPU and storage have the required specifications and capacity, or must they be upgraded or even replaced? Packages which rely solely or partially on the host processor will usually require the latest models, and whichever platform is used, the number of continuous streams or channels supported, as well as the overall performance of the system, will be highly dependent on the specifications of the hardware you use, including the disk drive(s). For those who prefer not to deal with the insides of computers, many manufacturers also offer their card and/or software package in the form of a turnkey system, complete with platform and storage.
You must also consider what kind of display will you need, and whether mouse-driven operation will suffice, or whether you eventually require more tactile control. Will you be satisfied with the integrated mixing and effects, or will you need to use third party plug-ins or even outboard gear? Even if your computer has in-built audio capabilities, if you require professional or multichannel I/O, then appropriate cards or breakout boxes must be supported. In addition, does the system offer the type of synchronisation and machine control capabilities required, or must third party software and/or hardware be sourced?
While the computer industry is clearly driving the overall direction of the DAW market, it cannot be expected to completely address the particular requirements of the audio professional. There is still a need for hardware geared specifically to handling and processing audio, which explains why there are still so many proprietary processing engines available. These take the load off the host CPU and are usually provided as cards accompanied by proprietary software applications, but some also come in the form of custom rackmounts with all required processing, I/O, storage and synchronisation interfaces.
Ultimately for many users, especially those seeking guaranteed performance, the turnkey proprietary system is the ideal solution, particularly if supplied with an integrated control surface. Manufacturers obviously agree, as the number of such systems is on the increase, ranging from low-cost, compact self-contained desktop units, to high-end systems with integrated automated mixing and, in some cases, nonlinear video.
In fact even if all technical and budgetary requirements are met, 'the best' system will still vary from person to person. It may be determined by factors such as preference of operating style and confidence in reliable support. This Guide therefore, cannot tell you which systems to buy, but it should at least be the first step in assessing which meet your requirements and budget.
Having found one or more possible candidates, by far the best way to assess a system is to see them operating in a practical situation similar to the one in which you will be working. In reviewing DAWs, it will soon become apparent that each has its own way of presenting information. Take note of how easy it is to perform the types of function you will require the most, how familiar the terminology used is, and whether the demonstrator is making sense or just confusing you with jargon. This is often done, not deliberately, but because familiarity with a system inevitably leads to things being taken for granted, or it may be that the demonstrator does not have sufficient practical understanding of your particular line of business.
In our experience however, most are only too willing to explain even the simplest things, and when pressed, will acknowledge any limitations the system may have. So do not be afraid to ask for explanations whenever you are unsure about a particular feature or capability, no matter how basic it may seem, and if in doubt, ask to see it in action. Finally, we appreciate how much time it takes to review systems in depth, so if you need independent assistance, SYPHA offers a range of consultancy services.
