Front and rear parking sensors, 8.8-inch infotainment system with navigation, BMW ConnectedDrive, Dakota Leather upholstery, Comfort Access System and Harman/Kardon audio round up the package.
The M140i is powered by a 3.0-liter straight-six with TwinPower Turbo technology that's rated at 335 hp (340 PS / 250 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. The output is directed to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission, for a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint in 4.6 seconds.
As for the all-new M140i, it will move upmarket in terms of power and is believed to get close to the 400-horsepower mark. The upcoming 1-Series will, however, for the first-time ever ride on a FWD-biased platform, although M models should benefit from all-wheel drive.


text: I was inspired today to look over some materials from the Natural Light workshop I took last spring. The first lesson was about locating window light and about pleasing shadows. I called Baby M into my room where I had located the appropriate light. I let Baby M do what she does and got some cute photos. She, of course, chose to wear her lady bug Halloween costume. I thought this photo was sweet. I love the mischievous look on her little face, like she's thinking up her next move.

Fast Food Localization
NadyaDuke replied to a topic in Food Traditions & CultureWhen I lived in New Mexico in the early 90s, for 25 cents you could get a side of Bueno green chile for your hamburger. Green chile cheeseburgers are a thing in New Mexico, and Bueno is the standard store brand you could find in every freezer.
Cooking with Six Seasons by Joshua McFaddenA friend gave me this book this summer and I used it a lot. Last week I turned to it for some post-holiday winter vegetable inspiration and made this parsnips with citrus and olives salad. I liked it a lot and will make it again.
Best Airport Restaurants - Not food courts
NadyaDuke replied to a topic in Food Traditions & CultureAt the Portland (Oregon) airport there's a quite decent restaurant past security called Country Cat. It's an outpost of a local restaurant. Good cocktails and food. It's my standard pre-flight breakfast or dinner if the timing is such that I need one or the other.
Restaurants in Portland
NadyaDuke replied to a topic in Pacific Northwest & Alaska: DiningTear Drop is a wonderful cocktail place in the Pearl district, walkable from downtown. Imperial and Clyde Common both have good cocktail programs and good food. Q restaurant is a wonderful reboot of a Portland institution - good cocktails and amazing Osso Bucco and other tasty things. I've heard good things about Headwaters, but haven't been there yet and am looking forward to trying a new restaurant called Jackrabbit - it's run by Top Chef Masters winner Chris Cosentino.
Did this ever get posted? I'm curious how it turned out! Plus, I might pick up some tips ....
Happy to help. I just remembered that the peanut butter and spaghetti sauce, and maybe the tomatoes, have a regular and an organic variety. I buy the regular, but you might want to investigate both to see what works best for your article.
Here are my standards from Whole Foods that are cheaper than the equivalents elsewhere. 365 natural peanut butter 365 basic marinara spaghetti sauce. This has just about the fewest grams of sugar of anything I've found and is inexpensive. 365 canned fire-roasted tomatoes. A staple in my pantry. All of those have good everyday prices and often go on sale. And, of course, there's the bulk food section, which is often a good deal, especially since you can buy just as much as you need and no more.
Any experience with those microwaves that also bake conventionally?
NadyaDuke replied to a topic in Kitchen ConsumerI've had my GE combination microwave/convection oven for about 8 years now and really like it. It's my second oven for when I need to bake a side dish or dessert while the main oven is busy. And it has a feature that uses both microwave and convection that will cook baked potatoes in 30 minutes - I like them cooked this way better than microwaved only. I also like that it doesn't heat up the kitchen as much as big oven does, so I'll use it if I just have one small thing to bake, or just want a couple potatoes for dinner.
Thanksgiving: I am not fond of turkey
NadyaDuke replied to a topic in Food Traditions & CultureMy husband doesn't like turkey either, so we alternate turkey and non-turkey years. One of my favorite alternatives is crown roast of pork with some sort of stuffing in the middle.
Three Days in Portland
NadyaDuke replied to a topic in Pacific Northwest & Alaska: DiningOne of my new favorite restaurants Imperial - the chef is Vitaly Paley, of the well regarded Paley's Place. I also just went to Mucca Osteria and all four of us found it delicious. For bars in the SE, Slow bar is cozy and has a great burger. Bunk Bar and Dig a Pony are bigger, but appropriately dark and have good cocktails and beer lists. Have a great time!
Food experiences in Northern Oregon
NadyaDuke replied to a topic in Pacific Northwest & Alaska: DiningYou'll be here during Portland Dining Month, which is when lots of restaurants, including some of the best, offer a prix fixe menu for $29. A couple of my favorites on my list are Imperial, East India Co. and Oven and Shaker. http://downtownportland.org/dining-month/ A combination of dinner and a food experience is Simpatica Supper Club. Friday and Saturday nights different chefs prepare a menu which is served at communal tables (though usually plated individually.) The kitchen is open, and the chef comes out and tells you about each course. I've been close to a dozen times and the food is always great. You can see the menus here http://simpaticapdx.com/ If one interests you, call to make a reservation. Finally the biggest fanciest area Farmers Market is Saturday morning in downtown Portland. There are vendors selling not just fruits and vegetables but meats, pickles, cheeses, kimchee, baked goods, chocolate, etc. and usually the maker is there selling to tell you all about it. They also have cooking demonstrations featuring local chefs. http://www.portlandfarmersmarket.org/index.php/markets/psu/ Have a wonderful trip! Feel free to PM if you have questions.
Help with crispy or crunchy vegetarian side dishThanks for all the great ideas! The asparagus wontons have me drooling, but I think I have enough on my hands, since I'm a wonton rookie. I'm leaning towards some time of salad or slaw, probably based on what looks good at the market tomorrow. And I love the idea of just using olive oilntobdress it because it gives me an excuse to buy some higher grade olive oil than my usual all purpose! But I'll have some lemons in reserve in case they're called for.
Help with crispy or crunchy vegetarian side dishI'm cooking dinner for some vegetarian friends this weekend. I plan to make The Very Full Tart from Plenty (roasted veg and cheese), and garlic roasted mushrooms. The dinner will be accompanied by 2003 Oregon Pinot Noir from various wineries, to have the fun of a horizontal tasting. My husband suggested I need something crispy or crunchy to round out the meal. Since Pinot Noir is a focus, vinegar or very spicy foods are out. Any suggestions, wise eGulleters?
Cooking for the Dreaded Office Potluck (yikes!)Last time I faced this, I went with a grain-based salad. E.g. a couscous salad. Quinoa is popular now..... You can add cheese or even meat to make it more hearty and they stand up well to delays.
All About Rye Whiskey (Part 1)
NadyaDuke replied to a topic in Spirits & CocktailsI quite like a Boulevardier made with Rye instead of Bourbon. Or a Negroni made with Rye instead of gin, however you want to look at this!

German citizens in Turkish jail but minister says "Visit Turkey"
The day a German citizen was arrested in Turkey during their summer vacation, Germany's Minister of Tourism Thomas Bareiss called on Germans to "Visit Turkey on vacation".
The Federal government led by Merkel is doing all they can to save the Turkish Lira which has been in freefall against the USD and Euro. German Chancellor Angela Merkel called Erdoğan the other day and gave him messages of cooperation, and the finance ministers of both countries decided to come together in September afterwards.
Now the Minister of Tourism Thomas Bareiss called on German citizens and said, "There is no reason for you not to spend your vacations in Turkey, don't fear the crisis in Turkey and cancel your plans," in order to support the Turkish economy.
Bareiss spoke to newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and said he spent his vacation in Turkey recently. On the day the Tourism Minister issued this call, however, a German citizen spending their vacation in Turkey was arrested and imprisoned.
İlhan A., living in Hamburg, Germany, was detained in his hometown of Karakoçan, Elazığ for "terrorist propaganda" over his social media account. He was later arrested by the court.
According to information provided by the German Foreign Ministry, the number of German citizens in prison in Turkey for political reasons has risen to 5. There had been another hostage crisis between Germany and the Erdoğan regime last year, when Turkey imprisoned more than 10 German citizens to extort the country for favors. Following dirty deals struck between Berlin and Ankara, some arrestees had been released.

My grandfather, in his teens, almost starved to death. His father did starve to death. Before my great-grandfather died, he told my grandfather to leave his two infant sisters behind. My grandfather buried him by himself, and three days later, the elder of his two sisters died. He left the younger sister with a relative, and she too starved soon after.

What is the future of international climate change policy?
A focus on research, development, energy and efficiency as a means to adapt to the effects of climate change are essential to any international agreement on climate change, a group of more than 100 legislators and officials from 13 countries have agreed. The officials met in the US Senate, to decide the future of international climate policy, as the end of the Kyoto Protocol draws to a close in 2012. In a statement released at the end of the meeting, the group also agreed that emissions should not rise beyond 450 to 550 parts per million in the atmosphere, and that emission targets should be formed for all countries, based on their development needs.
The statement recommends a global carbon market, and urges negotiations on the new framework to be agreed at the G8 summit in June 2007, and to be concluded by 2008. Although the statement carries no legal status, those at the meeting included president of the World Bank Paul Wolfowitz, Sir Nicholas Stern, the Republican presidential candidate John McCain and representatives from Brazil, China, India and Mexico. The meeting follows the broadest consensus to date released by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that climate change is already having an environmental impact, and that with 90 per cent certainty, it is driven by human activity. In a recent statement, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, has announced that the dangers of war are at least matched by the climate crisis. He urged the US to lead the way in the urgent need to address global warning.

If an individual is injured or killed while on someone else's property in New Jersey, the owner of the property could be held liable for damages in a premises liability lawsuit. Based on this theory, the parents of an 18-year-old who died after consuming ketamine filed a suit against the owner of the North Dakota home where the substance was consumed. They argue that the landlord should have exercised greater control over the house and those who lived there.

If you're in recovery you may think you won't be able to enjoy the holidays as much without a drink in your hand. That doesn't have to be the case. Some of your best Christmas memories are probably from when you were a kid. The holidays weren't about going to parties and stumbling home, then waking up with an awful hangover. Christmas was about excitement over Santa, presents, and festive lights and decorations.
As an adult, there are things you may have to deal with like shopping, finances and family drama that you didn't have to worry about when you were a child. You can try to make those stressors less relevant and try to get back to the innocent fun that Christmas used to be when you were a kid.
Not sure where to start? Here are some tips! Need an outpatient Wilmington alcohol rehab center for the holidays? Legacy can help! Call now for more information.
How to Have a Sober Merry Christmas
1. Don't go to every event. Pick events that celebrate the season and spending time with family and friends. Avoid the parties that are centered around drinking and partying. Even if you feel strong in your recovery and don't think that being around people who are indulging will affect you, it can still be difficult, especially if people encourage you to participate. It's no fun spending all night turning down everyone's offers.
2. When you do go to events where there will be drinking, bring another sober friend and your own non-alcoholic beverages. You'll have two defenses working for you so you can try to enjoy the party without thinking about drinking. It may also be helpful to have a reason ready if someone asks why you don't want a drink. Say you're the designated driver, or tell them you'd rather indulge in the food rather than the drinks.
3. Plan things to do that don't involve drinking. You don't have to give up fun activities because you're sober. Go on a tour of decorated houses in your city. Plan a cookie decorating and/or exchange party. Offer to help elderly neighbors, family members or friends with their decorations.
4. Don't let the stress of family drama get to you. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in gossiping about what family members will or won't do over the holidays. That type of negative talk, even if it seems harmless and fun at the time, leads to feelings of resentment and anger that can crop up later and lead to arguments.
5. Make time for yourself. When you're in recovery, it's important to take care of yourself, whether it's through exercise, mediation, sports or indulging in a massage every month. Don't forget to do the same during the holidays. Your schedule can fill up quickly so be sure to pencil in that special activity for yourself.
6. If you aren't lucky enough to have a large family or a lot of friends to spend the holidays with, it can get lonely. Don't let yourself become isolated. Try to plan activities with coworkers. See if you can volunteer at a nonprofit. Take a part-time job in retail. Don't sit at home and let loneliness take over.
It is possible to have a happy and sober Christmas and New Year if you prepare ahead of time. The holidays come around each year, so the sooner you can learn to manage them without relying on your addiction, the more you can enjoy this time of year.

10 Minutes With Dad.
Father's Day is this Sunday (19th June) and to mark the occasion I wanted to share with you a little bit about my Dad, Stephen Crook.
What is your background?
I was born in Wigan, a proud Lancashire lad. Hence my love of pies, of any kind. I was brought up in the cotton towns of that area. If you look at a typical Lowry painting, that sums up my childhood, cobbled streets, factories.
I was the first person in my family to go on to university or college, I went to Central St Martins in London to study Graphic Design or then otherwise known as Commercial Art and Design.
Originally I wanted to be a painter, but quickly realised there was no money in it so turned to graphic design as my creative outlet. This didn't happen straight away, for a while I worked in factories and shops. At one point being a shop manager for a menswear boutique fashioning platform shoes and velvet flares with my shoulder length hair.
I became a National Insurance inspector for a number of years before fulfilling my dream of being a full time designer.
Since then i've run my own design practice, been a self employed freelance designer and have worked for various agencies and design based companies. Today, i'm now semi retired.
Claim to fame?
I designed the CD single cover for 'Candle in the Wind' by Elton John after Princess Diana died.
In the mid 80's I had an impromptu dinner with Kevin Keegan and his wife in Puerto Banus, he was then footballer of the year. I've also had a curry with Jack Straw, in fact the meal in Puerto Banus was a curry, so just various curry evenings with celebs.
Who is your favourite artist?
Everybody loves Mark Rothko, but it would have to be Edgar Degas and Howard Hodgkin. I'm also a great fan of Antony Gormley's work. I feel the public have more of an understanding of contemporary art these days. I just love something that's memorable, makes you think and has a sense of humour. What I don't like about modern art is the pretentious reviews you read in Sunday papers and arts magazines which tell you how great or bad a piece of art is. Go and judge for yourself, it's all down to the viewer. If you like something stand by your convictions.
What have you been listening to recently?
Radio 4 most the days. Football on radio 5live. Obviously i've been listening to Euro 2016, England have a chance of doing quite well, perhaps that's wishful thinking, after all i'm an England fan and have been disappointed so many times. At least I managed to witness their win in 1966 on tv, i've wasted 50 years of my life waiting for them to win another tournament, but that's the cross i've got to bear being an England fan.
What have you been watching recently?
Apart from sports tv, in the past 12 months i've enjoyed Happy Valley, War and Peace, Line of Duty. We're going through a golden age of tv at the moment. One thing that's a let down is that there's no real comedy on tv anymore, although I did enjoy Car Share, but i've always had an affinity with Peter Kay with going to school in Bolton and having family from there.
Favourite recent film?
My favourite film in the last few years would be The Wolf of Wall Street, in fact I saw that with you (Hattie) didn't I? *Awkward opening scene sat with my dad*... It'll be a classic in 20 years or whatever, it'll be recognised.
Favourite Film of all time?
The Dear Hunter - it's great.
Who's your favourite author?
To be honest i'm not a big book reader, i'm currently reading Ventoux, a novel about the Tour de France which i'm enjoying. I always read the Independent on a Sunday. I can't stand trashy tabloids. The Sun is all politics, Rupert Murdoch is a pain, sorry to get political. If I ever buy the 'i' newspaper it's only for the puzzles.
Where has been your most favourite place to visit?
Arisaig on the West Coast of the Scottish Highlands, peaceful and idyllic. We would holiday there as kids and now our family has started going back, so I can enjoy again as an old man. There's an emotional tie with the place, the beaches are as nice as any in the world. The waters cold, the midges bite and the drive is long but when you see the views and breathe air that fresh, it's all worth it.
Favourite place in Europe?
The Spanish Costa Brava for the great food and weather. I've got a fond memory of going on a road trip with you (Hattie), leaving your mum and Francesca (daughter) to sunbathe whilst we went to explore Salvador Dali's mansion. Listening to Morrissey driving in the sunshine. That was a good day.
Who's your favourite comedian?
Hands down Billy Connolly, i've seen him live 3 times, twice in Blackburn. I love Peter Kay, Sean Locke, Kevin Bridges.
Favourite music artist?
Marvin Gaye or Van Morrison, Daft Punk and Nile Rodger are great. Remember the time we saw Roots Manuva? I don't think my ears have recovered yet…
What memory sticks out the most as being a father?
In your (Hattie's) case keeping you in your cot and trying to stop you from escaping. We went on a family holiday to Tunisia in 1993, worst decision we've ever made. We had to keep strapping you into a buggy in the boiling weather, but you'd escape, unbeknown to us, regularly. On one occasion you ran off the beach back into the hotel to the indoor pool. A friendly German couple alerted us so I ran inside, shouted and grabbed you just in time to stop you from plunging into the deep end of the swimming pool. Francesca, the opposite of you, mummy's girl, the home bird, remained sitting quietly making sand castles with Mary (mum). She's since grown out of that phase however...
What's your proudest moment?
Being at the birth of both my children. I've always been proud of my girls, I may keep my emotions to myself but i'm really proud of the careers that they've made for themselves.
If you had to choose something for Father's Day from MH what would it be?
'My Dad Used To Be So Cool' by Keith Negley. I like to think i'm a cool dad and the illustrations are wonderful.
What will you being doing on fathers day?
Seeing you and Francesca, sharing a bottle of red, catching up.
Final note Dad?
I hate to admit that Yorkshire fish and chips are better Lancashire chippies. I'm not a religious man but I regularly attend service at Bizzies Lizzies in Skipton, that's my temple. I like to take it canal side and wander down to your shop and sit in the sunshine outside. Perfect.
So pops, daddios, pappa's, young and old, you're great - well done. Happy Father's Day!
Hattie x

my #streamteam september
Stella and I just had birthdays. She is six and, based on the purple storm clouds under my eyes and unwillingness to learn how to pronounce "bae," I am 106, or so.
When I was a kid, lots of things were very different. Dungarees was a word and a thing. So was "Beta" and "nards" and "Loni Anderson."
Kid's movies were super different. In the 80s, kids were tougher and more street smart and knew about Bad Men and aliens and bullies and divorce much too soon. That meant the movies made for us didn't sugar coat anything. (Cue me being dragged sobbing out of the theatre as scientists butt-probed E.T.)
They also showed us fantastic adventures dreamed up by writers from the 60s who might have been stirring ground magic mushrooms into their Sanka. (The Neverending Story and Labyrinth were not conceived by sober people.)
Because I am so old I always forget about the best movies of my youth. As if Facebook can read my mind (it totally can let's be real), this Buzzfeed List popped up just for me - 25 Movies from the 80s That Every Kid Should See.
I got excited! As my main interests in life are sleeping and eating junk food when she is sleeping, I don't have many opportunities to share my passions with Stella. I quickly added a few titles to my Netflix queue, and on my birthday eve, as we snuggled up in the corner of the couch, I introduced her to The Princess Bride.
She had questions:
Why is he in bed?
Who is that man?
Is that the Princess?
Who is he?
Does he love her?
Does he love wood?
Does she like horses?
Whose horse is that?
Why is he so tall?
Why is he so short?
What is in the juice?
Is poison real?
Why did he switch cups?
Is he tired?
Why does he sound like that?
Where are they going?
What is that noise?
Why is he climbing?
Can I sword fight?
Why does he jump like that?
Why are they sinking?
I don't like it.
Why is he so mean?
Why does he want to kill him?
What is the machine doing?
I don't want to lose years from my life.
Why does he wear a mask?
Why can't he move his arms?
Is he dying?
I love her dress!
Can I wear that dress when I get married?
Why is he so mean?
So, that wasn't as special as I'd imagined. Adventures in Babysitting is up next, but now I know better.
Before I hit Play and the familiar notes of "And then she kissed me" fade in, I will come armed with these ice cream sandwiches. They're dummy-proof so Stella can help make them (aka I will supervise and lick the spoon) then she can cram them into her question hole and give me at least 3 minutes of blessed silence.
What's your favourite childhood movie that you got to experience again with your kid? Would you also LOVE if Netflix had a "search by era" option? Lemme know in the comments!
As a member of Netflix Canada's #streamteam I will be giving you the straight goods on what I'm watching each month in exchange for a yearly membership. It's a match made in heaven, really.

… in short words, it is better to take precautionary measures no matter how unnecessary they may seem, rather than regret not having taken them at all when it becomes obvious later on that you should have. I have always been a believer in the reality of global climate change (global warming), but even if I wasn't, I would still advocate all the governments of the world to take steps to curb it. After all, what have we got to lose? I mean, sure, as this guy pointed out, these steps cost money and could trigger a global recession… But then again, I personally would rather live through a global recession, rather than live in a world where natural catastrophes have become almost daily occurrences.
We only have one Earth… We simply can't affort not to take good care of it!

Why It's Important to Add Cameras to Your Security System
In order to have a truly amazing and safe security system, you need to have multiple parts. Motion detectors, door and window sensors, driveway alarms, etc. are all necessary. There is one piece of a security system that you must have and they are security cameras. Security systems for the home are not complete without security cameras, and this article will tell you why.
Have you ever contemplated stealing something from a department store? While most people do not steal because it is wrong, others do not do it because of the fear of being caught. With so many security cameras around they are worried that someone will either see them in the act or watch the video later and hunt them down.
The same concept applies to your home. The main reason to add security cameras is not so you can catch a criminal in the act and give the police evidence that can help them find the criminal but to scare the criminal away in the first place.
Almost the entire battle of home security is about keeping the burglar from entering your home. The biggest thing burglars look for when choosing a house they are considering breaking into is a house that will be easy for them to get into and out with very little risk. Cameras are a big risk and most burglars would turn away just at the sight of them.
Of course, if a burglar were to enter your home you do have the advantage of having footage of the break in that you can turn over to the police. Every little bit of detail you are able to tell the officers looking into your case will get them that much closer to finding the guy who burglarized you, and the faster they find the person the faster you get your stuff back.
There are a lot of other practical uses of security cameras outside of just protecting your home. If you have kids that like to play in the yard you can keep an eye on them from inside your house using the security cameras. Ever wonder who is pulling up in your driveway? Look at the security camera and you can find out who it is before they are even there.
What you chose to use your security cameras for is your business, but there is no doubt that installing them is the absolute right decision. Security systems for home need security cameras because they are an essential part of deterring or catching a burglar.

Here is some information about a few legal controversies that I have participated in.
I was the plaintiff in a California case, initiated in 2012, asserting the right of a member (resident-shareholder) of a common interest development (here a housing cooperative named Berkeley Town House) to enforce the rights of members and the obligations of the officials who govern and manage the development. My complaint sought compensation from the officials to the corporation for alleged damages, an order to the officials to address warnings of possible seismic vulnerabilities in the development's building, and orders to correct and stop various alleged violations of required financial controls and freedom-of-information, open-meeting, and other procedural protections for democratic governance. This litigation ended on 27 October 2016, with a court-approved settlement between the cooperative and me. The litigation returned cash to the cooperative, gave it a professional study of seismic risks, made it disclose detailed financial records, made it revise its governing documents to comply with the law, and compensated me for $300,000 in legal fees and costs.
In 1993 a roofing contractor started a fire that partially destroyed an office building that I owned at 6000 Southcenter Boulevard in Tukwila, Washington, doing business as Centerplex. This incident caused numerous landlord-tenant and insurance issues to arise. One of the ensuing disputes dealt with fees charged by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), for mediation of a dispute among a reconstruction contractor (Turner Construction Company), a tenant (Bernard, Pauly, and Bellamy), and me. I claimed that the mediator had promised to mediate landlord-tenant issues but failed to do so, and therefore not all fees charged by AAA were due. No agreement with AAA was reached, but after August 1994 AAA ceased demanding payment of the disputed amount.
The Centerplex business, which existed from 1990 until 2004, gave rise to numerous other legal controversies with tenants, contractors, government agencies, visitors, lenders, and vendors.
I was a defendant and, on appeal, respondent in New York cases that affirmed the power of the state to establish group homes for the mentally disabled in local communities despite conflicting zoning ordinances and homeowner-association restrictive covenants.
Bernard Grofman and I co-owned a single-family house within the Crane Neck Association in the village of Old Field, New York. In 1979 we leased the house to the New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, which established there a group home for mentally disabled individuals. The Crane Neck Association and some of its individual members sued the state and us, claiming that our lease and the state's use of the property violated the single-family restrictions in the village's zoning ordinance and in the restrictive covenants binding the property. The highest state court, the New York Court of Appeals, decided that these restrictions were unenforceable against such group homes. The plaintiffs appealed this decision to the United States Supreme Court, which dismissed the appeal in 1984.
In 1991 a collection agency sued me to collect attorney fees billed by Washington domestic relations attorney Susan G. Diamondstone and not paid to her (Seattle Division, King County District Court, case 91-009507). I counter-sued Diamondstone for recovery of fees paid, alleging that they were unreasonably excessive and that Diamondstone had violated various provisions of the fee contract and of the Washington Rules of Professional Conduct. In 1992 I won a judgment of $4,960 against Diamondstone. Diamondstone was subsequently transferred to disability inactive status by the Washington State Bar Association and in 2005 lost an appeal of this decision to the Supreme Court of the State of Washington.
I was a member of a tenant union that conducted a rent strike and engaged in litigation with its landlord at 5238 South Kenwood Avenue in Chicago in 1969 and 1970. The tenant union succeeded in obtaining court supervision of repairs that the landlord (brothers Livingstone and Levinstein) had failed to make, before the tenant union paid the rent funds held in escrow to the landlord. The tenant union also mobilized community partners and engaged in publicity stunts, including a lease burning in front of the landlord's agent, McKey & Pogue, which we called a "slumlord front organization". After unknown perpetrators firebombed the McKey & Pogue office, we were questioned by the Chicago Police Department as apparent suspects.
In 1961 I protested the United States Post Office Department's then-current practice of intercepting publications mailed to United States addresses from the People's Republic of China and deemed "Communist political propaganda" and requiring the addressees to expressly request delivery of these items before the Post Office would deliver them. My protest took the form of statements written on the outsides of envelopes placed by me into the mail and addressed to various addressees. The office of the United States Postal Inspector contacted me and threatened to prosecute me for libel against the entire class of postal employees, i.e. for falsely accusing them of reading the mail instead of delivering it. I denied that my conduct was libel and asserted that it was protected as an exercise of free speech. The Post Office Department dropped the case.
I refused to participate in the daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag while a student in Grant School and in Lowell High School in San Francisco, California. Lowell High School decreased my "citizenship" grades and in 1960 withheld my high-school diploma as sanctions for this disobedience. Receiving no sympathy from teachers, friends, or relatives, I found solace in the San Francisco Law Library, where librarians and sources of case law helped me learn that the right not to be coerced into this ritual had been settled by the United States Supreme Court in 1943 in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette. Lowell never admitted its fault, but did belatedly provide a diploma to me. I allowed the decreased citizenship grades to stand.
In 1960 my brother, a friend, and I picketed a retail food store in San Francisco, protesting what we asserted were unsanitary conditions. The store operator summoned the police. The police arrested us and charged us with violation of a San Francisco ordinance prohibiting standing on the sidewalk in a business district when not as close as practicable to the building line or the curb line. As minors, we were required to attend hearings administered by the San Francisco Juvenile Probation Department. In my hearing, the probation officer asked me to promise not to engage in such picketing again, warning that otherwise I would be subject to punishment. I refused and, instead, promised that I would picket again. The Probation Department dropped the case.

Sweaty Palms Keeping You From Nailing that Downward Dog?
Damn you downward dog!
It took MONTHS before I bit the bullet and decided to invest in a proper yoga mat. It also took months before I realized it's not normal for your palms to slip in downward dog.
"$70 for a yoga mat?! You've got to be kidding me?"
I would mutter these words in my head as I would ponder the isles of the yoga studio looking at all the beautifully arrayed (yet what I thought was overly priced) yoga mats.
Then there I was, on the mat slipping from one pose to the next trying not to break my concentration as I struggled in and out of each asana.
"How am I the only one who is struggling this much?!" I thought it was just me, turned out there was more to this magical little carpet than what meets the eye.
The moment my practice changed forever
I still remember the day I rolled out my fresh yoga mat for my first practice in the studio, I felt like I had finally stepped up to the 'big leagues'.
Long story short, the mat changed my practice forever. That little price tag, made a HUGE difference when it came to my alignment, focus, and presence on the mat. When I think back on how much I use my mat, if I were to practice even 3x a week it comes out to less 50 cents a practice over a year time span and I had this mat for 3 years… Needless to say, it was money well spent.
It's been years since then. I've practiced on dozens of mats and finally have nailed down the one that is perfect for me.
It's light and compact– making it easy to travel (some mats are so heavy they feel like I'm carrying around a sack of wet towels)
It's got amazing grip– bye bye slippy hands, hello alignment
It's environmentally conscious– well, the mat it's self isn't, but the company that makes it and the materials it's made out of is
The Yogini's Magic Carpet
My yogo mat goes with me everywhere, litereally! It's an amazing product that cares beyond their bottom line.
It's one thing to practice yoga, it's another to embody it. Practicing asana does not make you a yogi, nor does it make you a good person. (I've unfortunately met a lot of not so great yogi's out there– like you practice yoga…whhhaaatttt??! "Where's dat patience doe?") Lol, but seriously.
It's one thing to speak the truth, it's another to live it. Yoga is the path of union. This union not only applies to our inner selves but our outer selves as well. Being conscious of how we relate and take from the world around makes a difference. I invite you to take your practice to the next level and move beyond the practice on the mat. Try taking your practice to the next level.
Are you aware that your actions not only affect you but everything and everyone else around you?
Are you sporting the latest and greatest new hot yoga pants so that you can look awesome in your down dog for the person behind you?
Or are you choosing to support companies that have yogic principles embedded in their brand?
Be mindful of your consumption, your actions matter.
Don't just take my advice, have a look for yourself
Take a look at this amazing company and see how they are making a difference not just in the practice of yoga, but also in the environment at large.
I love this company so much that I've partnered with them which means you get to save a little extra chaching $$!
If you decide to take your downward dog to the next level you'll save over $10 by entering my last name BICCUM at checkout!
With Love & Light Always,
Amanda Biccum
P.S. Did you get the mat? If so let me know what you think! I am always intersted to hear how your practice continues to transform.

Music hath charms to soothe the soul and no better soother than soul-songstress Anita Baker. My recent listening to Yasmine Tamara and her song Cry to Heal made me conversely think of the song Anita Baker belts out in this video clip. Anita Baker a crooner of love songs of celebration instead of heartbreak. You Bring Me Joy, Sweet Love and Come to Me (a duet with James Ingram -1992) are evidence that she deserved eight Grammys she has been lauded to date.
You Bring Me Joy is a really simple song to love. My favorite stanza:
You bring me joy, when I down.
Oh so much joy. When I lose my way, your love comes smiling on me.
No sweeter words would bless my ears than to be referred to as joyful. What romantic prose would be music to your ears?
(Leave me a comment - I respond to all that are not spam.)

This is a rare game indeed. I've never seen it before. I'm typically not much interested in items manufactured after ~1955, but the imagery caught my eye. It is unusually detailed and not-too-friendly considering it was issued in 1965. Given the compelling graphics and the overall super condition, I'm surprised it didn't realize more than $212.50.

Classic - Sent to me from my husband!! At least he's thinking ahead!!
The room was full of pregnant women with their partners. The class was in full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe and was telling the men how to give the necessary assurance to their partners at this stage of the pregnancy.
She said "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just take several stops and stay on a soft surface like grass or a path."
She looked at the men in the room, "Gentlemen, remember, you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her."
The room suddenly got very quiet as the men absorbed this information.
Then a man at the back of the room slowly raised his hand.
"Yes?", answered the Instructor.
"I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?"
This kind of sensitivity just can't be taught.

Can you believe it is February already?! I am super excited because not only is it the month of our baby boy's first birthday but also my hubby's and I wedding anniversary. And of course, we can't forget about Valentine's Day!
My husband and I are not big into going all out for Valentine's Day. We typically enjoy staying in at home and cooking dinner together while sipping some wine and enjoying each others company. With a baby in the mix now, it is getting a little harder to have "us" time. So this year, I thought it would be fun to shake things up a little bit and do Valentine's Day up, but from the comfort of our own home after baby boy has gone to bed.
So I have rounded up some of my favorite DIY ideas for this Valentine's Day that should be pretty easy to do ahead and enjoy with that special someone.
I have never been big on decorating for Valentine's Day. But since starting this blog I thought I would give it a shot this year. I knew that I wanted to keep the decor fairly simple and nothing really over the top. So when I saw this DIY from Debbie-debbiedoos.com I knew it was something that I wanted to try out. How cute are these?! They are super simple to make and you don't really need a whole lot if you already have a picture frame and some card stock or even wrapping paper around. I have a HUGE bag of buttons that I keep when buying clothes and they include that extra one button. This is the perfect craft to put those to good use since I never remember that I have them when I need them for my clothes!
My husband absolutely loves popcorn, he could eat it all day everyday if I would let him. So when I saw this recipe for Valentine's Day popcorn, I knew that I have to make it for our at home Valentine's Day celebration. And as a lover of chocolate, when I saw that it had white chocolate as an ingredient, I was hooked! This recipe comes from Gimmesomeoven.com and it looks absolutely beautiful and delish! I just know my hubby is really going to love this one. Make sure you check out that link because there is also another Valentine's Day popcorn recipe that looks just as amazing as this one!
Another way to decorate your home easily for Valentine's Day is with flowers! I absolutely love this idea from Evolutionofstyleblog.com! It is so pretty and super clever to put a smaller vase inside a larger one so that way you don't have to fill the entire vase with candy. Although the tulips look amazing, you could do this with any kind of flowers and it would still look beautiful. Make sure you check out the site for step by step instructions and other ideas to use as a filler. I cannot wait to give this one a try!
If you have been following me for a while, you know that I am a huge fan of decorating with printables. It is such a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to decorate your home. Kristi from Ishouldbemoppingthefloor.com provides 8 printables like this one for $5! You can't beat that price! Make sure you check out the link to see these and many more printables available on her site. How awesome is that?! I simply go around my house and replace a picture in existing frame with one of these and it instantly added a little Valentine Day decor to our home. Easy and beautiful!
This next DIY is from Sandandsisal.com and it is so cool! I love using corks to decorate and already have a huge vase filled with corks that I have been collecting for years and years. I have been trying to think of ways to use them since the vase is getting pretty full by now. This is the perfect DIY to put my collection to good use! It looks like it is fairly simple and all you need is paper, a glue gun, and corks. Make sure you check out the site for full instructions and more cork DIY projects for the home! And make sure to follow me on social media so you can see how I incorporate this and the above DIYs into my home decor.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post and it helps put you in the Valentine Day spirit! For someone who doesn't typically decorate for this holiday I am pretty pumped to start my DIY decor!

Seniors on Medicare are undoubtedly enthusiastic about a wonderful way to get additional details about inexpensive health insurance in Ohio. Shield, promote and enhance the health of all folks in Hampshire County through disease prevention, health promotion, and protection from environmental threats. You must inform your local well being division if your landlord doesn't reply in a suitable period of time.
By public well being schooling, even easy issues resembling sporting a flu masks in notably affected areas, or knowing when to take vaccines for a selected illness that is distinguished at that time of the year, all the time proves very efficient in limiting the variety of folks affected annually.
On this local weather of fiscal restraints and rising well being care prices, we will now not spare the "pound of remedy" in lieu of the "ounce of prevention." However what is most apparent is that it makes probably the most sense from each standpoint to keep folks healthy somewhat than treat their preventable illness and struggling.
– ADPH is searching for physicians with a need to serve the general public via a career in public well being. Upon graduation, it will be significant that people take the time to intern at their native public well being department. The Health Division can be delegated the duty of compliance with the state Public Health Apply Requirements within the group.
The Bureau of Private Well being Services offers a wide range of services to advertise and protect the general public's well being. The Administration and Support Services Bureau assures that each one health division providers are delivered in accordance with present standards of public well being follow.

A former Border Patrol agent in Nogales said his gambling habit forced him into a drug-smuggling conspiracy.
Alex Peña, 37, was sentenced Monday to 20 months in federal prison for his role in the conspiracy. While in uniform, Peña stole a Border Patrol truck in the middle of the night in August 2016 and drove it to a remote area south of Patagonia, where he admitted he intended to help smuggle a load of marijuana, according to a plea agreement filed in U.S. District Court in Tucson.
Peña had a "significant gambling problem" which, combined with a 25 percent reduction in pay following a funding cut to the agency, "caused a financial struggle" and he "could not see an exit," defense lawyer Christopher Scileppi wrote in a sentencing memorandum.
"This was not to gain more, but because of desperate and dire financial needs," Scileppi told Judge Cindy K. Jorgenson at a sentencing hearing Monday.
Jorgenson prohibited Peña from entering a casino or any other gambling establishment during the three years he will spend on supervised release after serving his prison sentence.
Peña joined the Border Patrol in November 2008 and resigned March 27, 2017, the same day he was placed on unpaid, indefinite suspension and five days after he was indicted by a federal grand jury, according to the agency's Tucson Sector.
When it came to sentencing Peña, "it does make a difference" that he was an agent, Assistant U.S. Attorney Wallace Kleindienst told Jorgenson.
"This court has to treat him differently and punish him most severely," Kleindienst said.
On the night of the attempted smuggling incident, while off duty, Peña went back to the Nogales Border Patrol station at 1 a.m. where he took a Border Patrol vehicle without permission. Peña then drove to a remote location south of Patagonia to meet the smugglers, according to the plea agreement.
The plan started to unravel when a sensor was tripped in hills about 8 miles north of the border where Sonoita station Border Patrol agents worked, as the Arizona Daily Star reported March 2.
When a Sonoita agent went to investigate the tripped sensor, Peña apologized and said he was looking for a place to sleep for a few hours before he and other Nogales agents installed a surveillance device on Red Mountain, according to a court affidavit.
After Peña drove away, the Sonoita agent followed tire tracks in the mud for a quarter-mile and found an area of trampled grass where it appeared a truck had backed up.
Agents found footprints of several people, greasy hamburger wrappers, soda cans and a camouflage canteen, all of which were indicators of "load-out" sites where drug smugglers wait to transfer loads to drivers, according to the affidavit. The footprints led agents south toward Mexico.
The subsequent investigation showed Peña drove the agency truck through the Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 19, while briefly turning on his emergency lights to be waved through, and sent text messages to a phone linked to a 2013 Drug Enforcement Administration investigation, according to the affidavit.
Peña's bank records showed he regularly deposited large amounts of cash starting in 2013, including $30,000 deposited in 2016 that was not from his salary, according to the affidavit.
"He was a public servant who became corrupt," Kleindienst wrote in a sentencing memorandum, adding "public corruption is a cancer that eats away at the fabric of our nation."
Probation for punching handcuffed man
In a separate case, a former Border Patrol agent in Nogales was sentenced on June 18 to five years probation for repeatedly punching a suspected illegal border crosser who was handcuffed and lying face-down on the ground.
Roy Ammerman, 34, previously pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Tucson to a misdemeanor charge of deprivation of rights under color of law.
In July 2014, an agent called for help on his radio after injuring himself while trying to arrest a suspected border crosser. Ammerman responded and arrived to the scene. He believed the agent had been injured by the man in custody and that additional force was necessary to subdue him, defense attorney Michael Bloom wrote in a sentencing memorandum.
Ammerman then struck the victim on the right side of his head and face at least six times with a closed fist. Other agents intervened. Ammerman then struck the victim on his left side, and over a minute later struck him again on the left side with a closed fist, as the Arizona Daily Star reported Feb. 23.
Ammerman had multiple chances to stop and assess the situation to take appropriate action, but instead he continued to punch the victim, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sandra Hansen wrote in a sentencing memorandum.
Ammerman worked for the agency for over seven years before the incident, Bloom wrote. Upon sentencing, Ammerman was forced to immediately resign from his position as an agent, court records show. He also must pay a $1,500 fine and $575 in restitution to the victim.

The vast and spacious houses in this neighborhood were built in 1993 and feature a floor plan that is warm, open, and inviting. There are anywhere from four to six massive and airy bedrooms, five to nine deluxe resort-style bathrooms, and a total of 3,400 to 7,000 square feet in each home, with ample living space in between.
Showcasing modern architecture, rustic details, upgraded appliances, and wide windows for letting the pure, natural light shine and taking in the stunningly picturesque panorama of this elite neighborhood, these Park City homes also come complete with striking views of immense mountains and lush, dense forests in all directions.
Belleterre's Surroundings
Despite how Belleterre real estate's peaceful, secluded atmosphere makes you feel as if you're worlds away from city life, residents here are still no more than mere minutes away from downtown Park City, meaning that you can have the best of both worlds: the fun and excitement of town and the serenity of your own mountainside haven.
Between the breathtaking and unobstructed views of Park City and the surrounding mountains, the invigorating and challenging Silver Dollar ski trail that runs from Deer Valley Resort and borders the community, and the convenient ski-in, ski-out access that comes standard with each home, living in Belleterre provides you with endless opportunities for adventure—and not just in the winter!
There's so much to do around Belleterre homes, regardless of the season, including skiing and snowboarding to hiking, mountain bike riding, scenic chairlifts, and attending one of the many local summer concerts at Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheatre. There's also golfing, horseback riding, whitewater rafting and kayaking, and fly fishing, among a multitude of other activities suited to all ages. No matter how you spend your time, you'll never grow bored!
Due to the limited number of houses in this fashionable neighborhood, it is very rare that Belleterre homes will enter the marketplace. When they do, it's wise to jump on them quickly, as these homes tend to get snatched up right away!

I had a bad week last week and did very little writing. This week I plan to rectify that and add around 5K to my story.
I was also bad in terms of my exercise regimen, so I plan to fix that too, and go to the gym at least three times.
Let's get things back on track before they fall entirely apart, shall we?

The British came, they saw, they sang Led Zeppelin?
India 2008 - Please consider joining my support team
In the 25th chapter of the gospel of Matthew, in the parable of the sheep and the goats, Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.". This summer I will be a part of a mission team traveling to India for two weeks to serve those who are, in so many ways, the people who Jesus called "the least of these brothers of mine."
From 22 June through 5 July 2008 I will travel to India with a group of about 12 people from my church. The first week of our trip will be spent in Bangalore, in the south of India, working with a ministry to street children. Bangalore is known as the "Silicon Valley" of India as there is a tremendous amount of computer and technology industry there. It is also estimated that 45,000 children live on the streets of this large city. Some of these children are orphans, others have been abandoned by their families due to economic or other reasons, some have fled abusive situations. Regardless of the reason they are on the streets, Grace House, a non-residential day facility, seeks to serve these children. Run by Bangalore Presbyterian Church and funded by my church, Fort Worth Presbyterian, Grace House is open six days a week and provides these children with a structured, safe environment that provides meals, clothing, help in getting any needed medical attention, schooling and Biblical education. This ministry also is in the process of starting foster homes which will provide a Christian family environment for these children to move into and grow up in with the end goal of transitioning these children into independent living and working situations when they become adults.
For our second week in India, we will travel to the village of Muttom on the southern coast of India. This area was greatly affected by the 26 December 2004 tsunami that devastated much of the Indian Ocean coastline. In the villages surrounding Muttom, we will be working with a ministry of Bangalore Presbyterian Church called Homes of Hope. Homes of Hope is working to build permanent homes for the survivors of the tsunami (pictures can be found here). It is the prayer of this ministry that this work done in the name of Christ will not only provide for the physical needs of these people but also will melt the hearts of those in the area as they witness home after home being built for "the least of these". It is also the hope that the groundwork laid by this house building work will open the door to church planting and sharing of the gospel to communities that are hardened to the grace of gospel message of Jesus Christ. During our week in this area, we will be physically laboring to help build some of these homes.
I would like to invite you to join with my mission team on this trip in two ways. First, I would ask you to consider becoming a prayer partner. This involves committing to pray for me, the team and our trip weekly prior to our departure and daily during the trip. Without the support of God's people, mission trips such as these cannot happen and I greatly covet your prayers. Some specific prayer requests that I currently have are:
• Unity for our team.
• Financial support for all team members.
• Specifically preparing each member of the team for the large cultural differences as well as change in time zones that we will encounter during this trip.
• God working in the hearts of each member of the team and each person we will encounter in India in preparation for all that he has planned.
As the preparations continue, I will update all prayer partners on additional prayer requests as well as provide additional information on the team's preparation here on my blog.
Secondly, I would ask that you consider supporting this trip financially. The cost of this trip is approximately $2500, of which $750 covers all of our costs in India with the remainder paying for airfare. The first payment, for 50% of the total cost of my trip, is due in mid-April with the remainder due in mid-May. Any financial gift you can give would be greatly appreciated and is tax deductible. If you would like to join in our work in India through either prayer support please either leave a comment on this blog or email me at ruthann.francis_at_gmail_dot_com. If you would like to provide financial support please send a check made out to Fort Worth Presbyterian church to:
Fort Worth Presbyterian Church
PO Box 16307
Fort Worth, TX 76162
Please include a note saying that the check is in support of the India mission trip for Ruth Ann Francis. This will ensure that your contribution is credited to my account.
