Bellevue (11-0) will play the winner of the Eastside-Catholic-Mount Spokane game next week for the state title and will try for the school's seventh straight in football. Sam Richmond scored on a 2-yard run, a touchdown that proved to be the game-winner, at the 8:04 mark for the Wolverines. It was Richmond's second TD of the game and it broke a 10-all tie. Erik Lind connected with Drew Hatch for a 14-yard touchdown for Marysville-Pilchuck with 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the only touchdown of the game for the Tomahawks. Just before the half, Khodamoradi nailed a 28-yard field goal as Bellevue took a 10-3 lead. Pilchuck's offense went for it on fourth down with 1:41 left before the half, but Killian Page was stuffed for no gain at Pilchuck's 35-yard line, turning the ball over on downs. Bellevue then marched down into field goal position. The Tomahawks didn't manage a first down until the 11:42 mark of the second quarter. Austin Joyner broke free for a 13-yard run to gain it. MP put that drive together and culminated it with a 24-yard field goal from Sebastian Navarro, getting to 7-3 with 4:56 to play in the half. Bellevue got into the end zone twice, but the first by Isaiah Gilchrest was called back because of an illegal block. Richmond, who had 42 yards in the first half, scored on the first play of the second quarter on a 1-yard run. Joyner had 11 carries for 48 yards for Pilchuck and Page has 22 yards on nine carries in the first half. Top-ranked Bellevue moved the ball at will for most of the first half, rushing for 100 yards. The Wolverines have also thrown the ball, with QB Justus Rogers completing 2 of 8 passes for 46 yards. Comments | More in Football

SC has severe penalties for repeat and felony DUI
South Carolina passed new measures in 2008 that updated the DUI laws. The change in law was aimed at bringing South Carolina law into agreement with the existing drunk driving laws in a majority of other states. The new DUI laws significantly increased the severity of the penalties for those convicted on repeat and felony DUI charges.
In determining whether you're a repeat offender, the law uses a 10 year look-back period. If you've been convicted of driving under the influence at any point in the 10 years preceding your most recent DUI offense, you'll be charged as a repeat offender and sentenced accordingly.
Penalties for Repeat and Felony DUI Charges in South Carolina
Though the facts and circumstances of each case vary, if you're arrested on a repeat DUI or felony charge you'll likely face one or more of the following:
Second DUI Offense
- A fine between $2,100 and $5,100
- A one year suspension of your driver's license
- A sentence of 5 days jail time to one year in prison
- A court ordered certificate of completion of a drug and alcohol treatment program
- A required installation of an ignition interlock device for a period of two years.
Third DUI Offense
- A fine between $3,800 and $6,300
- A two-year suspension of your driver's license
- A sentence of 60 days jail time to three years in prison
- A court order certificate of completion of a drug and alcohol treatment program
- A required installation of an ignition interlock device for a period of three years.
Fourth DUI Offense
- A one- to five-year prison sentence.
Penalties increase in DUI cases if a minor is in the vehicle at the time of arrest, the blood alcohol content (BAC) is greater than or equal to 0.10, or if an accident occurs as a result of the DUI offense.
What happens to your driving privileges
If convicted on repeat DUI or felony charges, many states, including South Carolina, require you to install an ignition interlock device before you're able to obtain an occupational or "DUI Hardship" license. The charge of repeat or felony DUI results in an automatic suspension of your driver's license. A DUI hardship license is a restricted rights license that allows you to drive to and from work or school after you're charged or convicted of DUI.
To be eligible to receive a DUI hardship license, you're required to install an ignition interlock device. The ignition interlock device attaches to your car and works as a Breathalyzer test would. The car won't start until you blow into the device which reads your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC). The device must register your BAC at 0.02 or lower in order for the car to start. Otherwise, the machine records a"FAIL" result.
On occasion, you'll be required to blow into the ignition interlock device while driving. If the device registers your BAC above 0.02 at any time, it causes the car's lights to flash, the horn to sound, and the windshield wipers to turn on. Failed recordings are logged by the device and may result result in the revocation of your occupational license.

Interested in having the best home theater gaming experience possible with your Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, and Nintendo Wii U? The following are three ways you can vastly improve your home theater gaming experience and in turn your game playing performance.
Listen with a full 5.1 channel surround speaker set
Avoid sound bar speakers that claim they will provide the same level of surround sound envelopment and sound location cues as a discrete 5.1 speaker system (five speakers and a subwoofer). If you want to successfully get the bad guys, you will need a complete set of speakers that will tell you where they are coming from with pinpoint precision. A proper 5.1 speaker system will not only give you the experience of being immersed in the action with the right audio cues, it will help improve your overall gaming performance.
View outstanding picture quality with a plasma HDTV
Despite plasma HDTVs' reputation for burn-in, they are an excellent choice for game playing for a number of reasons. Plasma technology generally offers a much wider viewing angle than LEDs and LCDs, which means you can have multiple players viewing from extreme angles during game play. Also, because of how fast the phosphors in a plasma TV fire, plasmas are an excellent choice for sports and fast moving video game content. Also, today's newer plasmas are less susceptible to image retention. The only case where it is advisable to go with LED/LCD technology is when there is direct light that may reflect off of a plasma TV's glass screen. Otherwise, impress your gamer friends with superior black level detail and non-blurring picture performance with a plasma HDTV.
Get connected with the right cables
Always use an HDMI cable to provide optimum picture quality for your gaming video if your system allows it. Also, for Wii console owners, the Wii-to-HDMI converter by Sewell does an excellent job of sending the Wii 480p signal to a 1080p native resolution HDTV. If your only choice is component video, then simply connect your game console to an AV receiver that is capable of up-converting your analog component video to a digital HDMI video signal. Also, in your game console be sure to check in the settings menu that you have chosen the option with the highest video output resolution.
There are certainly many more ways to optimize your home theater gaming experience. We invite you to share your tips by commenting below.

Living in the moment.
As much as it is important and integral to enjoying life and making important short notice decisions, it can also prove to have negative effects. Many people want results yesterday rather than put in the time to see themselves gradually improve. It's a tough thing to do, to have patience when you want to see immediate improvements. Besides lifting correctly and eating the right kinds of foods, in the long run bodybuilding is all about having patience. If you understand that then gains will be developed for years to come. Just ask veteran Robby Robinson.
A true force and legend of the old school, Robby Robinson cultivated a powerful physique through many years of consistent and diligent work. During the Golden Era, Robinson proved himself to be one of the top bodybuilders of the time. He was well muscled, lean and shredded, and had an amazing V-taper. Robby Robinson was truly the definition of a classic bodybuilder.
Like many others, Robinson took years to build his physique. While many professional athletes lose a step and allow themselves to deteriorate once they're done competing at a high level, Robinson has remained in some amazing g shape showing the patience and commitment can pay off long after your prime. That same patience that made him a great bodybuilder also allowed him to make consistent gains for decades. The Instagram posting below proves that notion well.
THE POWER OF COMMITMENT COMMITMENT IS KNOWLEDGE WITHIN ITSELF. YOU DON'T COMMIT TO GET THE KNOWLEDGE. WHEN YOU COMMIT, KNOWLEDGE COMES TO YOU. IF YOU CAN COMMIT AND HOLD ON TO IT, THERE IS NOTHING MORE YOU HAVE TO LEARN. I COMMITTED TO KEEP MY BODY HEALTHY FOR LIFE. WHEN YOU COMMIT, THINGS WILL HAPPEN WHICH WILL SHIFT IN YOU, CHANGE YOU, STOP YOU. MAKE (TEMPT) YOU TO DISOBEY, REVOLT. SUCH OPPORTUNITIES WILL COME TO YOU. EVEN IF YOU FORGET THE TRUTH THAT IS YOUR BASIS OF YOU, IF YOU CONTINUE TO BE COMMITTED, THAT'S ALL IT TAKES. COMMITMENT DOES NOT BEGIN ANYTHING. COMMITMENT IS THE END ITSELF.

Gardens of Stone
During the Vietnam War, Sergeant Clell Hazard is a weary patrol leader who has seen enough of war and attended too many funerals at Arlington National Cemetery. When Hazard meets zealous cadet Jackie Willow, he takes a paternal interest in the young man and tries to warn him about some of the grim outcomes that could result from volunteering for combat. But Hazard's logic and experience are hard-pressed to overcome Willow's enthusiasm and naivete.

In a recent coaching session I was working with an aspiring young entrepreneur hell-bent on making his tech start-up a success. In turn, he believes that he will then have achieved "success" in life, something he feels has largely eluded him so far in his short professional life.
My client spoke about other ventures he had been involved in which had not turned out as he had hoped. Through listening, I sensed that a common theme was his desire to want to be "the guy" in the business so as to prove to himself and others that he was the one running the show. Chasing the prestige of being an entrepreneur vs chasing the business idea. This was the case in previous entrepreneurial attempts, as well as in the current one.
I asked him what it would be like if he were able to get his business up and running and then step aside. This concept of making himself replaceable provoked a certain amount of fear. It was as if that in itself could be seen as a failure or, at a minimum, as a loss of his personal identity. With a bit more soul searching and digging we came to the conclusion that this could be the cause of what was holding him back from achieving success. A subconscious fear that if he were to somehow achieve success and work himself out of a job that he might not have the ability to command a repeat performance. He chose to acknowledge this and to work to break through this limiting belief.
Two Entrepreneurs
I led this session two days after having met two very successful entrepreneurs, both of whom had in their relatively short careers (both are about 40), managed to work themselves out of the roles they had created.
The first, an American from Silicon Valley, had started a company/app in the sharing economy space, taken the company through several rounds of fundraising and then stepped up to the board of directors, leaving a professional CEO in place to run the business. I'm not sure how much of the decision to step up to the board was necessarily his, but he seemed at peace with his current stage in life, which now has him relaxing in Southeast Asia, looking for his next "thing".
The second entrepreneur, let's call him Jim, had started a company which sold real, tangible products to consumers in Asia-Pacific. From the moment I met him it was obvious that Jim is a first-class promoter/sales guy, and I could see the magic in his ability to enroll people in an idea. The kind of guy who could sell ice to an eskimo. Jim built the company and sold the last of it recently for a tidy sum, although he did point out that he wasn't a billionaire. Even the best of us compare ourselves to others, but either way, I reminded him of a saying I once heard that anything over $50 million is just keeping score.
"What's your name…?"
One side-story which Jim told me stood out. Just after selling the final stake in the company he had founded, he visited the company's headquarters to catch up with the CEO. When he arrived for his appointment, the receptionist greeted him and asked "What's your name and what company are you from?" Rather than being offended that the receptionist didn't know who he was (the freaking FOUNDER!), he chose to take this as a crowning moment of his professional career. He had worked himself out of his job to the point of not being known at the head office.
I related both these stories to my coaching client, who was still struggling with the desire to achieve success and notoriety for his accomplishments. He took it in, and quickly got the point.
We have all seen people who do whatever they can to cling on their job or role in an organization. Sometimes they will even create problems for themselves and others just so they can solve them and prove that they are irreplaceable. This almost always comes from a place of low self-worth as the person fears that there is no where else he or she can be successful.
The same pattern can also be seen in a family. Kids can stay in the role of child well into adulthood for fear of growing up. And while as a parent one will never cease being a parent per se, as children grow up and leave the house, healthy parenting entails working yourself out of a job. And just like the guy at the office who fears that he can't do anything other than what he's doing now, a parent who is unwilling to let the role change when a child leaves home is more often than not afraid of who he or she will BE if the parent role were to change.
Successul Living
I'd venture to say that the vast majority of people would say that they want to grow in life and be successful, whatever that means in their case. But growth and successful living, as opposed to achieving "success" at some point down the road, must start with believing that you can and will be more, or at least be someone different, than you are today.
Parents cannot call themselves successful unless their children can stand on their own and be self-sufficient. The paradox, both for a parent and for an entrepreneur, is that in order to be successful you need to be replaceable, but in order to be replaceable you need to be irreplaceable first.
What job or role are you currently in which you need to proactively work to make yourself replaceable?

Vettore's Family
Hotel Restaurant Vettore opens its doors in 1947. At the time the entrance looked like the doors of a saloon.
For four generations, the Dori family has been running the hotel. All thanks to grandfather Vittorio ("Vettore"), who, once the war ended, realized that the village Oriago needed something new.
To be honest, grandfather Vittorio was not new to the craft, considering that a few years before he had opened a small Osteria in Valmarana, in Mira neighborhood, and afterwards he opened an inn near the theater of Oriago, where today there is the beautiful public library.
However that wasn't enough for him. According to those special years, grandfather Vettore had big dreams and plans so that he decided to move towards Oriago boundary and to build there the hotel near the famous brick capital, called "il Terminale", that, from 1375 to 1405, marked the boundary between the Republic of Venice and Padua.
In 1947 Hotel-Restaurant Vettore opened in Oriago. Afterwards the numerous children of Vittorio "Vettore" managed and enlarged the enterprise and now the management is undertaken by his grandchildren.
Here the customer feels at home, he is not considered as a number but as a name, a face and a voice.
The kitchen is the flagship, with some specialties such as the "gnocchi" (dumpling) and the "frittura" (fried fish), which hide recipes handed down from mother to daughter, insomuch that even close relatives (cousins or aunts) hadn't access to the cookbook of mother Ornella, infallible and meticulous cook and, above all, a guarantee for the palate.
In a nutshell, at Hotel-Restaurant Vettore quality is a tradition ..

Safe Harbors Green: Environmental, Economic, Social Impact Summary
October 2017
written by Anna Beeman
One Nature's project Safe Harbors Green in Newburgh, NY has many positive environmental, economic, and social impacts to the immediate area after finishing its construction in September 2016. This three month study was conducted by gathering data from various green infrastructure tools and reports, as well as through interviews and observations. For more information about specific data and statistics, please contact email@example.com.
Although the carbon dioxide emissions produced to construct the park exceeds the current rate of carbon sequestration, the long term impact of the park including the maturation of 27 trees and shrubs planted in the park will help neutralize the carbon emissions produced within 10 to 22 years.
In terms of biodiversity, the construction of the park has added over 50 different types of native plants and trees to the space. Out of the herbaceous plants, the New England Aster is particularly of high value for its high capacity to retain water, as well as the ability to attract native honeybees. In the long term, the 27 planted trees and shrubs will host animals and insects that the herbaceous plants cannot support, and thus the park will be able to host a wider range of biodiversity in the future compared to the present.
The hydrological impact of the park is significant due to the rain garden and infiltration system installed within the landscape of the park. Based on the Center for Neighborhood Technology methodology, the raingardens of Safe Harbors Green will be able to capture 26,888 gallons of rainwater annually. If the rainwater captured by rain gardens is thought of as an avoided cost to the City of Newburgh, the average cost avoided for the city to treat the stormwater is $41,676.68 annually. In the long term by incorporating 27 fully grown trees and shrubs, the amount of runoff reduced would be even higher due to the ability of the trees to reduce runoff.
The New England Aster and the Sandbar Willow are two species in Safe Harbors Green that possess the highest capacity to uptake nutrients and pollutants, including organic compounds and heavy metals. The presence of these two species will significantly help with soil remediation and helping filter stormwater before entering the drain.
The social impacts of Safe Harbors Green are also significant. The amenities that Safe Harbors Green offers such as benches and areas of recreation attracts diverse human use, including exercise, business lunches, or a place for parents to take their children. It is estimated that between 15 and 25 people use the park daily, and approximately 2,300 people have used the park for events within the first year. Green spaces are known to improve physical and mental health, as well as decrease toxins in the air, and therefore reduce the rate of air pollutant induced diseases such as asthma.
The economic impacts of Safe Harbors Green on the surrounding area are apparent, even within the first year. For example, in September 2017, the realtor selling a small lot of compacted lawn across the street from Safe Harbors Green has priced the lot at $239,000, while the projected sale based on Zillow's algorithm is at $178,000. The lot description highlights the proximity to Safe Harbors Green, and therefore is a contributing factor to the realtor's perception of higher property value. Economic impacts locally also include direct investment into surrounding businesses with the increasing number of visitors.

F-105 model in 1/72 scale
TRUMPETER: kit building report & review
Building report
The Republic F-105 Thunderchief was designed in the mid fifties as a high-speed fighter-bomber. It even had an internal bomb bay that could carry a nuclear weapon but the F-105 was particularly used in the old fashioned bombing role during the Vietnam conflict. The F-105D was the most common single seat version. It was deployed to Europe as well during the Cold War.
Also a two-seat F-105 variant was developed with a navigator / system man that enabled accurate bombing. The F-105F was used as basis forthe F-105G Wild Weasel that was used to suppress enemy radar and attack SAM missile sites. ECM pods were fitted on the lower fuselage sides. The type was used until 1980.
After issueing large 1/32 scale F-105 kits, Trumpeter also came with F-105 models in 1/72 scale at end of 2008:
The accuracy is a bit of a question,
the noses of the F-105 models look a bit too pointy and the vertical fin
on the F-105G a bit too small. It was decided however to do a straight
out of the box build. Otherwise, the pile of kits never gets finished....
OK, lets start...
The cockpit parts are OK, but I replaced the seat with resin PAVLA seat set #S72049. Also, the cockpit will benefit from additional detailing. The tub sits deep inside the fuselage so is not very well visible.
First, complete the overall assembly before fitting the undercarriage to prevent damaging these parts. Do this at step 15.
The fuselage ventral fin a much too thick, so sand thinner.
Inside the fuselage, I missed an exhaust
pipe fan. Also the pipe should be fitted more aft.
The wing-fuselage joint was OK, but
the radarnose fit of the fuselage needs filler. As noted, the nose is a
bit too pointy but it was used as per kit.
The gear leg doors #B11, B16 have
no details inside, so inscribe some details. The wheelhubs shape is not
very accurate but I used the kit parts anyway.
Overall, the assembly was straight
forward. Nicely done panel details and rivets.
The vertical tail/fin is also too
small for a two seater Wild Weasel. But I simply made the kit as is.
The F-105G Wild Weasel decals were only partly used as a MicroScale set was used that I had in my decalbox.
I suggest to check reference books
and get additional or other decals from for example MicroScale/ Superscale
sets #72-456 and 72-368. Also, the blue in the US Stars-and-bars is too
blueish. replace these markings as well. The USAF marking is also
better replaced.
The F-105D got a metal scheme as per kit scheme "A" using ALCLAD II paint system.
A gloss black base coat was applied
with the airbrush first
as per ALCLAD instructions. The olive coloured panels like on the spine
were first masked and sprayed. After drying, the ALCLAD II gloss aluminium
ALC-105 was applied with the airbrush.
The decals were applied as usual,
but many stencils were replaced by better ones as noted above from MicroScale.
The canopy frames painted and final
small details like antennas added.
The result....
The model of the F-105G Wild Weasel was given a scheme in Vietnam style camouflage, using:
FS34102 medium green using Mr.Hobby Gunze Sangyo acrylic #303
FS34079 green drab Gunze Sangyo acrylic #309
FS30219 brown Gunze Sangyo acrylic #310
FS36622 lightgrey / white Gunze Sangyo acrylic #311
Microscale set #72-456 had
nice markings for the US Air National Guard 128 TFS at Georgia, called
"Peach" around 1983. It was the last operational F-105G.
.... and some pylons and stores added with the result....
Two nice 1/72 models in the collection,
although not perfect they are nice next to my over 20 years old Hasegawa

This painting holds a special spot in my heart. The quilt in the painting is an effort of the heart, the arcs were from my husband's great-grandmother and I finished piecing the quilt and then went on to hand quilt it.

(MARLBOROUGH MA) - Atlas Travel is proud to announce its partnership with ECPAT-USA, the leading policy organization in the United States seeking to end the commercial sexual exploitation of children. Human trafficking is an international and multi-billion dollar market whose proceedings are often unwittingly facilitated by the travel and hospitality industries. As a member of the travel and tourism community, it's our responsibility to shed light on this global atrocity.
"We are proud of our ongoing commitment to our local communities and continually strive to set the standard for corporate contributions towards the betterment of society," says founder and CEO Elaine Osgood. "We've spent considerable time and resources translating our long-standing culture of community empowerment into a foundational business pillar. We are honored and excited that these efforts have led to becoming the first New England-based travel management company to join ECPAT-USA in fighting global injustices against children."
In addition to partnering with ECPAT-USA, Atlas Travel has also become a member of the Tourism Child-Protection Code of Conduct. The Code is the world's first and only voluntary set of business principles travel and tour companies can implement to prevent sexual exploitation and trafficking of children. The Code provides members with support and resources to raise awareness; in turn, members commit to implementing six essential measures:
Establish policies and procedures against human trafficking and child exploitation
Train employees on said policies and procedures
Include a contract clause for business partners, including RFPs
Provide information to travelers
Support, collaborate & engage stakeholders
Report annually on initiatives
"Companies that recognize their role and responsibility in recognizing and preventing child sex trafficking are a key in ending exploitation," said Michelle Guelbart, Director of Private Sector Engagement at ECPAT-USA."We are excited to welcome Atlas Travel to The Code and as a new partner in helping us protect children."
With these core measures in place, our work throughout the year will expand upon these commitments, especially raising both industry-wide and public awareness. We hope these efforts curb trafficking not only internationally, but domestically as well: human trafficking occurs in all 50 states, in cities and rural communities alike.

One of the most interesting scenic views in the state can be found looking southward from atop Stone Mountain in Woodbury. Never heard of Stone Mountain? That may be because it's not exactly a mountain, but rather an artistic creation by Edward Tufte.
Stone Mountain, on Tufte's 234-acre property, is a field of massive stone megaliths. Standing among the boulders, looking south, a visitor can see a rolling landscape filled with other creations by Tufte: a stone "Tunnel of Love," stainless steel creations in shiny arcs, diagrams and a series of walls, and in the far distance, three gargantuan constructions that look like they're about to shoot off into space.
One day each year for the past five years, Tufte has opened his property, Hogpen Hill Farms, to visitors so they can see his 80 sculptures, wander his peaceful grounds and meet and talk to him. This year's event will take place Saturday, Oct. 17, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tufte, 73, who lives in Cheshire, is a professor emeritus of political science, statistics and computer science at Yale University in New Haven. He is one of the world's leading experts on information design and data visualization. He has written four books on those subjects and for 20 years has toured the country giving a popular one-day course on presenting data and information.
Tufte (pronounced Tufty) bought the Woodbury land about 10 years ago and has been filling it with his sculptures for years. He creates artworks between teaching travels, and hopes to raise enough money to create an endowment that will keep the land and the sculptures as they are in perpetuity.
In addition to housing the sculptures, Hogpen Hill Farms is a working farm, growing architectural evergreens and ornamental grasses, which can be seen thriving alongside Tufte's sculptural works. (One of these growths, a bamboo maze, is called the "bambouserie.")
Tufte says that science and art have one thing in common: intense seeing.
"So many things we look at today are expressed on flat land, a computer screen. I'm doing a project now called 'The Thinking Eye.' A lot of it is how to see in free space," he said. "We see very well in this computer screen. Can we bring that intensity of seeing out in the real world, in free space? I want to help people see with the same intensity when looking at the glowing flat rectangle."
Along with seeing intensely, Tufte hopes that people who visit his property come away with a sense of quiet and calm. This is especially true of the megaliths. He tries to enforce a "no-talking" rule around the stones.
"Conversation takes a lot of brain-processing power. I want all the brain-processing power devoted to seeing and to staying in the optical experience," he said. "The magic moment, when you first see something, should be silence. It's in the optical experience."
He calls this feeling "vacation eyes." "You know how it is, the first three days you're away you see new things. Then you get used to them and don't see them anymore," he said.
The first sculpture visitors will see is "Magritte's Smile," an aluminum fish inspired by Rene Magritte's painting of a fish on a rock, which will be hanging by the driveway to guide people inside.
Most of Tufte's works, however, have a scientific element to them. Placed throughout Hogpen Hill are a series of stainless steel constructions based on the diagrams of physicist Richard Feynman, which represent the behavior of subatomic particles.
"I love them because they are like my old work, a visualization. They might be the best visualization done," he said. "They describe very hairy mathematical equations. They also represent reality, an empirical measurement."
Feynman diagrams decorate one of the series of three shooting-into-space pieces, called "Interplanetary Explorer." It features an Airstream trailer perched on the top. Tufte tells a fanciful story about that trailer.
"The Airstream goes way out and discovers extraterrestrial life. It arrives at one of these exoplanets out there. They see Feynman diagrams on the Airstream so they know 'These are pretty smart people, they do subatomic physics'," he said. "Aliens have no understanding of the NASA logo but Feynman diagrams reflect the laws of nature. They're understandable anywhere in the universe. Chances are all intelligence we discover is smarter than we are to communicate with extraterrestrial beings in a language they understand."
The megaliths, however, are primarily focused on inspiring contemplation.
"When I make them I don't think so much about the stone. I think about the air space between the stone. Air is a material like stone. I'm shaping the airspace."
STONE MOUNTAIN OPEN HOUSE: Edward Tufte's landscape sculpture park will be open to the public Saturday, Oct. 17, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Hogpen Hill Farms, 100 Weekeepeemee Road in Woodbury. (Note: There also is a 100 Weekeepeemee Road in nearby Bethlehem. Make sure your GPS has the correct one.) Visitors should wear good walking shoes, as well as sun protection. Guests can bring picnic lunches. Visitors with mobility issues will be offered transportation around the grounds. Admission is free but an optional donation of $20 per car is suggested. Small versions of some of his artworks will be for sale. edwardtufte.com.

Something I learned today is that when you can't eat dairy or eggs, catered lunches at work are not so fun and exciting. This little experiment is three days old and already I am tired of it. We will persevere!
Recipes like the one I made for dinner tonight certainly will help. These tacos were so good that we didn't even miss the cheese or sour cream. The homemade guacamole was wonderful. I omitted the chile and tomato and just added extra chipotle to the potatoes. Because I have had bad luck cooking sweet potatoes in a dry pan (so sticky!), I microwaved it first and then cut it up and threw it in with the beans and onions. This worked VERY well and made for a nice texture. It also stayed neatly in the taco shell. We both agreed this was delicious and I would make it again.
Chipotle Sweet Potato, Black Bean, and Guac Tacos
NaturallyElla.com via Pinterest
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1/2" cubes
1/2 cup black beans
1 chipotle in adobo sauce
2 tablespoons adobo sauce
1 tablespoon honey
Juice from 1 lime
4 taco shells (hard or soft)
1 avocado
1/4 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 serrano pepper, diced
1/4 teaspoon salt
Juice from 1/2 lime
1 small tomato, diced
Handful of cilantro
1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in skillet. Add onions and let cook until onions begin to soften, 3-4 minutes. Next, stir in sweet potatoes and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes.
2. In a mortar and pestle, combine the chipotle, adobo sauce, honey, and lime juice. Break apart the chipotle into small pieces (alternatively, you can cut up the chipotle.) Pour into the pan with the sweet potatoes and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add beans and continue to cook until sweet potatoes have softened, 10-15 minutes.
3. While sweet potatoes cook, scoop out the insides of the avocado. Add onions, garlic, pepper, salt, and lime juice. Mash until the guacamole has your favorite consistency. Fold in tomato and cilantro. Taste and add more salt if needed.
4. To serve, scoop a spoonful of guacamole onto the bottom of the taco and layer with sweet potato mixture. Sprinkle extra cilantro on top if desired.
Yield: 2 (4 tacos)

This example from the infographic world, encountered amongst the fine collection at http://wtfviz.net/ uses data to signal substance and the infographic trope to signal the intention to inform.
It is a fine example of a deep, rich infombrance, having the boldness and the weightiness of a pillar of religion.
The infombrance, a word first coined right here, right now, is a species of explanatory communication that has been caught looking out the window when we ask it a question.
Otherwise, and sometimes, an infombrant thing responds with a zen-like tangent to our question.
It's not that infombrances are being churlish, or wise or indifferent, Rather, they are abroad in a different context yet provide some reference points we think we recognise. These may well be as useful as the false-friends we learn to beware in the acquisition of a second-language.
A deep infombrance is unfathomable from our paradigm. A rich infombrance is one which we might deduce has a mind of its own.
Imagine an actor who is on stage before us but is, intriguingly, disconnectedly engaged with the narrative's trajectory and the play's entities we have registered to date. Her rhythm has a foreign syncopation and her carriage is awry. She is creating havoc for the other actors and mayhem with the imaginations of the audience.
Although we have paid to watch a tragedy, this actor has taken a wrong door in a fast-paced farce carrying on in the theatre next door. She has strayed into our arena and, as her profession demands, is obliged to continue speaking her script and to trace her stage directions on this alien set. Her actions are richly infombrant yet could be fathomed in the light of new information.
Infombrance is a quality that has been characteristically exploited by The Five Andrews through hermetic ritual eg Sicut and absurd instructional texts eg Un Citron Andalou, and conceptually - in the setting up and enactment of disappointment - in Wishful minment.

Awarded "Tyrolean traditional business"
We are particularly proud of the award "Tyrolean traditional business", which we were able to receive from the state of Tirol in 2017 on the occasion of our 90th anniversary!
It is a great honor for us and at the same time an incentive to recognize the current trends in order to offer the next generations courses in all areas of snow sports at the highest possible level.
We are working enthusiastically so that the "joy of winter sports" - which started 90 years ago - will remain in Galtür for a long time.
- History and stories
90 years of the Silvretta Galtür Ski School
Ski lessons were first organised in Galtür 90 years ago in 1927 by Eduard Walter. This gave rise to the Silvretta Galtür Ski School where generations of guests have now learnt to ski and have been coached in other kinds of snow sports too.
Tourism in Galtür began around the turn of the 20th century when the first Alpinists found their way into the inner Paznauntal valley. During the first decade of the 20th century, the first skiers came to Galtür. They marked the start of a development which is explained in this exhibition. Today tourism has slowly become one of the most important economic pillars for Galtür and its inhabitants.
The 90 year anniversary is a fitting opportunity for the Silvretta Galtür Ski School and Alpinarium Galtür to document the development of winter sport in an exhibition. This exhibition tells the story of the Ski School and the stories of its ski instructors and guests who have learnt to ski here. The 'protagonists' form the focal point of the story and are present throughout.
The title of the exhibition reflects the organisation of the exhibition which focuses on key milestones of the ski school's 90 year history and tells the lively stories of the people who have taught and learnt at the ski school.
"I was particularly concerned with celebrating the 90th anniversary of our ski school appropriately. And so the idea emerged of creating an exhibition together with the Alpinarium and local community. 90 years of the ski school is really something special for a place like Galtür," says manager of the ski school, Christian Zangerle. The exhibition will open on 8 December and can be visited during the winter season at the Alpinarium.
Opening hours Alpinarium Galtür:
Tuesday to Sunday
from 10.00 to 18.00
Closed on Mondays!

Best Graphics of 2012 - Artistic/
There are more the graphics than how realistic you can make it. Some games take a much more artistic few to what they create. Cell shaded, pixels, or something else, a game allows a creator to express themselves and the world they helped created, and that is something that deserves recognition. Or nominees for Best Graphics - Artistic are:
Guild Wars 2
Borderlands 2
Scribblenaughts Unlimited
The Walking Dead
And the award, selected by the artist in the group, is Guild Wars 2. The game does not have an overly realistic view to it and the way cutscenes are transitioned is pretty cool. I could talk more about this but it would not mean much coming from me. So just trust us that it is a really pretty game.

Sapta Rishi Ashram Haridwar
Tourists, who are looking for a peaceful abode for meditation and yoga, head to Saptrishi Ashram. The Ashram, established in 1943 by Guru Goswami Dutt, provides lodging, meals and free education for poor kids. Sapt Rishi Ashram, as its name would suggest, was the place where seven sages, namely Kashyapa, Vashisht, Atri, Vishwamitra, Jamadagi, Bharadwaja and Gautam, meditated. As per the mythological records, when all the Sapta Rishis (seven sages) were doing meditation, they get disturbed by the gushing sound of river Ganges. Annoyed and irritated due to sound, all seven of them trapped in the flow of the river. Later, Ganges River splits into seven water streams so there is less noise. Those seven river streams are now known as Sapt Sarovar, and the point where the seven sages meditated is called as Saptrishi Ashram.
Sapta Rishi Ashram is a retreat for the yoga lovers too. Even at present time, Sapta Rishi Ashram attracts many sages, saints and rishis from different parts of the world. People from all walks of life visit the Sapta Rishi Ashram to seek spiritual solace and can be a life-changing experience for everyone. Five kilometres away from Haridwar, Saptrishi Ashram can be reached by bus or taxi from the Haridwar bus stand. Embark on a journey to spiritual awakening by visiting the Sapta Rishi Ashram.

Book Review: Conform (Beck)/
Glenn Beck is mostly known as a radio and TV personality, but he has also written several books, including this 2014 work on public education. Conform: Exposing the Truth About Common Core and Public Education is a call to reform America's public education system. Beck thinks this reform can best happen by the federal government leaving education to the states, states passing Right to Work laws to limit the power of teacher unions, states introducing a voucher system, and states reforming teacher certification. This book is an important and informative read for all Americans, whose tax dollars go to support this educational system.
Part One of Conform is on the "Truth About Education," where Beck exposes myths about American public education, including the following:
- Public schools need more money.
- Teachers' unions are looking out for students.
- Good teachers need to attend a college of education.
- Common Core is state-led and rigorous.
- Schools should teach students sex education because parents don't.
- Home schooling is inferior and is bad for the collective of society.
Beck shows that America is spending more money on public education than ever, with an almost 300% increase (after adjusting for inflation) in spending on students since 1970 (p. 6). Driving this increase in cost are the teachers' unions, who have secured automatic annual raises for teachers rather than raises being based on performance. Add tenure to this, and you have teachers with guaranteed employment and little motivation for improvement. Teachers' unions are concerned with getting theirs, not with producing the best teachers and the best education for kids. As Beck says, "Mediocrity has become the accepted norm in far too many American government schools" (p. 42).
Compounding the problem is the requirement by states for teachers to receive a degree from a college of education. Many colleges of education train teachers in progressive ideology and focus on methodology rather than mastering the subject one will be teaching. Worst of all, colleges of education are known to provide some of the easiest course loads and thus attract weaker students. Most teachers come from the bottom two-thirds of their class, with half of teachers coming from the bottom third (p. 50). One would think there would be alternative ways of achieving certification, but this would loosen union control of teacher training. So we have a situation that would be considered disastrous in the private sector—"The ed schools have a guaranteed market and are shielded from competition" (p. 52).
Local public schools are also falling under the increasing control of the federal government. This is seen in the Common Core State Standard Initiative, which is said to be "state-led" and provide "rigorous" standards for students, neither of which is true. The federal government even has its hands in school lunches, using tax-dollars to provide free and discounted lunches for far too many students and then trying to control what kids are eating by forcing them to eat only healthy foods.
Beck argues that we need educational options and that parents should be in charge of the decision as to where they school their children. Educational options make schools compete for students, and as Beck says, "Competition between schools is the best formula for success because it incentivizes superior performance" (p. 164). Charter schools are one way to accomplish this competition. Though publicly funded, charter schools are given greater freedom than traditional public schools to innovate and create unique learning environments. Another educational option Beck defends is home schooling, which takes heavy criticism from the educational establishment. Listen to this statist quote from the National Education Association, the largest teachers' union: "The NEA believes that homeschooling programs based on parental choice cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience. Instruction should be by persons who are licensed by the appropriate state education licensure agency, and a curriculum approved by the state department of education" (p. 141). This quote shows just how much the establishment fears the competition of home schooling—and why we need it.
Part Two of Conform is a much shorter section on "The Way Forward," where Beck lays out some suggestions for improving the public educational system. Beck's proposals include implementing a voucher system where parents can take their tax-dollars to private schools, limiting teacher unions with Right to Work laws (as done in Wisconsin), innovating education with technology, and abolishing teacher certification (and simply hiring teachers who majored in the field they teach).
Beck is right in his criticisms of the government education system. But while reading this book, one is left wondering if Beck does not go far enough. With his eye-opening description of America's public schools and his praise of home schooling and private schools, the question becomes—why not do away with government-run education entirely? Why not privatize the whole educational system? Beck's desire for reform of the public schools is noble, but he fails to identify the foundational problem—and that is that American government schools have been completely secularized. Public schools teach an atheistic worldview, which leaves the curriculum watered-down (as seen in the neglect of western civ) and leaves students with no basis for moral thinking or living. Beck sees this in the sexual immorality taught in public school sex education, when he says, "Perhaps it's no coincidence that the problem [teen sexual activity] started growing after we kicked God out of the schools" (p. 132). Unfortunately, Beck in not consistent in identifying this secularization as the source of the other problems with public education. It's hard to rebuild a house with no foundation.

These flourless peanut butter banana chocolate muffins are rich and decadent, and you'd never know they're naturally sweetened with banana & a touch of honey. They're also free of oil/butter, naturally gluten-free, and dairy-free if you use almond milk!
I've made these muffins six or seven times already, and it's taken me way too long to share the recipe with you all. Law school has been more time-consuming than I thought it'd be, so I haven't blogged quite as often as I'd hoped, but I still plan to keep sharing recipes and other posts as I can!
These peanut butter banana chocolate muffins are one of my favorite muffin recipes EVER, of all of the healthy muffins I've tried AND all of the more traditional, super sugary ones.
Grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and naturally sweetened
These muffins have no dairy or gluten, so they'll fit most people's dietary needs. You could even sub almond butter for the peanut butter in case of a peanut butter allergy. There's also no regular flour or specialty flour like almond or coconut flour, so I bet you have most of the ingredients on hand already!
They're lightly sweetened with honey, but most of the sweetness comes from just banana. Somehow, though, the banana taste isn't super strong (which is a big plus for me). You can taste the banana only slightly if you use ripe bananas that aren't way too ripe. Just a bit speckled is the best!
The peanut butter taste is also surprisingly mild, so the chocolate really does shine through most.
These peanut butter banana chocolate muffins have a perfect texture, which is hard to find in a healthy baking recipe! They're perfectly moist–not too dry and not too wet (ick) and they're super chocolate-y. I'm convinced these muffins have some kind of magic, because it doesn't make sense that they taste this great and are so healthy!
Dark chocolate cocoa powder
I love using dark chocolate cocoa powder for these muffins instead of regular cocoa powder. I tested these with both dark chocolate cocoa powder and regular cocoa powder and far preferred the dark cocoa powder. Either will work, but I can't recommend dark chocolate cocoa powder enough. I think it tastes better in just about every recipe!
I use Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa Powder, which you can find at most grocery stores beside the regular cocoa powder.
When I calculated the nutrition facts for these muffins to add to this post, I'd already made them several times and fallen in love with them. So, I was blown away to discover that they only have 9 grams of sugar each. You'd never know it– they're perfectly sweet!
Since I have a major sweet tooth and naturally gravitate toward sweet snacks rather than savory, I've started trying to be conscious of how much sugar I actually eat because I could easily go way overboard with sugar every single day. But muffins with 9 grams of sugar? Almost too good to be true. 😍
Compared to a typical chocolate muffin like Starbucks Chocolate Chunk muffin with 39g of sugar and 440 calories, these muffins are an awesome option (and I think they taste better, too– for 30g of sugar less and 240 calories less!).
Substitutions in this peanut butter banana chocolate muffins recipe
There are lots of options here to make this recipe work best for you!
• Sub regular dairy milk for the almond milk.
• Sub almond butter for the peanut butter.
• Sub peanut butter chips for the dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips on top.
I hope you love these muffins as much as I do! They're an amazing healthy after-dinner treat!

Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Muffins
- 2 medium ripe bananas (approx. 12-13 ounces, weighed with peel) (mildly speckled bananas are best)
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter (I use natural peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup milk (I use almond milk but any milk works)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder (regular cocoa powder works, but I highly recommend DARK)
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips to sprinkle on top (I like semi-sweet or dark)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mash bananas in a medium mixing bowl with a fork or potato masher. Add eggs and mix together.
- Add the rest of the non-dry ingredients: peanut butter, honey, milk, and eggs. Stir to combine.
- Add dry ingredients (other than chocolate chips) all at once on top: cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Lightly stir the dry ingredients together on top and then stir the dry ingredients to combine with the wet ingredients.
- Spray muffin tin cups with cooking spray. Fill 12 regular-size cups with batter. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of each muffin cup.
- Bake for 14-15 minutes until the muffin tops are almost fully set if you jiggle the pan. (If you insert a toothpick, they'll still be gooey but they'll set as they cool!) Do not over-bake. It's better to under-bake here rather than risk dry muffins!
- Let cool for at 15-20 minutes and then remove from muffin tin, using a knife around the edges to loosen the muffins if needed. Store leftover muffins on the counter in a container for up to two days. Freeze remaining muffins in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2-3 months.

There is a familiarity with my breakfast that I crave, much like the ease of being with my husband who knows all of my quirks and points attention to them in the light-hearted way I've grown to love. I've found that humor can bridge the gaps in a strained marriage because, with or without a special needs child, hard times are an expected part of any relationship. Too bad for my husband that I can't reciprocate the humor, although he does appreciate my donkey laugh.
Doesn't the true test of a marriage come in the hard times? It's easier to have a thriving marriage in healthier and richer times. Maybe that's why so many couples are choosing to stay childless to better their odds. Marriage isn't a guarantee that two people will parent cohesively or manage the stress the same. Just look at the increased divorce rate among parents with special needs children. I was reading some member bios on an autism support website and one woman wrote that she was "single but married." For me, I'd describe it more like "married but single" but I understood her point that she was disconnected from her spouse. I, too, have felt the solitude in a "married but single" existence with a spouse who's teetered in and out of denial about our son's diagnosis.
I'm slowly, very slowly, coming out of that unconscious and disconnected state that kept me confined to the iron cage. The dark period where I had my game face on, unable to separate my two personae that were so engrained. There was the outer me, smiling through the tears, and the inner me, struggling to cope with an idyllic life turned upside down. I still have a hard time even looking at old family pictures because the images represent a life that doesn't exist anymore. There's a kind of mourning that's set in and I'm not sure it will ever go away. But life is too short to stay unconscious.
(CAUTION: For Women Only)
"I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky, but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves."
The family members sat silently , absorbing the news, until someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?"
The doctor quickly responded, "$25,000 for a male brain, and $5,000 for a female brain."
The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the male brain so much more?"
The doctor smiled and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. The male's brain has hardly been used."
(I hope I haven't alienated all the males.)

Ahhh, former (?) notorious slumlord Mike Higgins. Still working it after his big Broderick save.
This corner definitely should be in better shape than it is, and that old house should be saved. Not sure if Mike is the man to do it, but he seems to be fishing for investor $$$ in the hopes it can turn out as well as Broderick did. I see that the scenic local liquor store there and Belle Isle Pizza are left out of the redevelopment plans.
Michael Higgins used to get quite a beating from posters on DetroitYES in the past. But in the long haul, I believe that he saved some of the buildings from possible demolition. Granted he sat on them for many years before he was able to do anything with them (the market was not right), but I think that he has shown that he is NOT a slumlord.
He sold the Farwell Building to the state for redevelopment, but was eventually able to find investors to help develop the Broderick Tower and Leland House... two important parts of Detroit's skyline.
I wish him well.
