Presidential Rank Awards: Emblematic Leadership in the Federal Government
A year ago, the Senior Executives Association set out to reinvent itself. The end result was an inversion of mission – an intentional decision to move SEA from a role as the voice of the Senior Executive Service to a role in which the SES is the voice of career senior leaders. Because there is no better argument for why career Federal leadership is necessary than to simply highlight what career Federal leadership can achieve when given room to succeed.
SEA is ultimately driven by an aspirational goal: restoring the nobility of public service. Perhaps no President is more associated with the civil service than President John F. Kennedy, who in one speech to Congress, said:
"The success of this Government, and thus the success of our Nation, depends in the last analysis upon the quality of our career services. The legislation enacted by the Congress, as well as the decisions made by me and by the department and agency heads, must all be implemented by the career men and women in the Federal service. In foreign affairs, national defense, science and technology, and a host of other fields, they face problems of unprecedented importance and perplexity. We are all dependent on their sense of loyalty and responsibility as well as their competence and energy."
On December 7th, the Senior Executives Association recognized the 2016 and 2017 recipients of Meritorious and Distinguished Presidential Rank Awards – the highest honor a civilian federal employee can receive.
The awardees we recognized at the event, and with whom those of you who attended the event were socializing throughout the day, included at least two Nobel prize winners; scientists who have revolutionized their respective fields and, indeed, created new ones; career leaders who have made decisions impacting huge swaths of our economy; and heroic members of the Federal law enforcement community who are leading the international effort to combat trafficking and global terrorism. To cite just a few examples.
These Presidential Rank Award honorees represent every possible facet of leadership. Leadership within complex agencies. Leadership in the community. Leadership in times of crisis. And leadership dedicated to confronting every single challenge facing our nation and the international community.
This is the impact of career leadership. And it's what we at the Senior Executives Association mean when we discuss the importance of cultivating leaders and the importance of a relentless focus on public service excellence.
Truly, these Presidential Rank Award winners are emblematic of Kennedy's appeal that the "public service be a proud and lively career" and that "every man and woman who works in any area of our national government, in any branch, at any level, be able to say with pride and with honor in future years: 'I served the United States Government in that hour of our nation's need.'"
Thank you to those who attended and otherwise supported this year's event. This year marked the first-ever expansion of the Presidential Rank Awards from a small-scale awards ceremony into a day-long event focused on not merely honoring PRA winners, but on learning the lessons of leadership underlying their incredible accomplishments. We look forward to more great programming in the coming year and encourage you to get involved in our continued growth as we carry the torch for senior executives across the federal government.
Wishing you a happy holiday season and a safe and prosperous 2018.

Christmas vs Yule
Throughout my childhood & adolescent life, I went to church. Through college I tried to find a church that I wanted to attend regularly, but I did not succeed.
I've been attending the same church for the past (almost) three years. Even being a regular in Sunday School.
My current series of lessons in class has really brought forth a reoccurring thought to me. I'm not sure that I believe all of this stuff. Parts of it- yea. But some parts, big parts-- I might add, Nope.
So, here is my dilemma. Do I keep "celebrating" Christmas with my kids, or do I research more into other belief systems & their holidays? How can I help my kindergartener understand what & why-- when I don't even have the answers.
I LOVE decorating a tree & having lights, I LOVE the idea of giving gifts-- Do I just start calling our celebrations something else? Kind of in reverse of what happened when Christian Holidays were plastered over the existing ones? Reverting back to the old days?
But what about Christmas Music-- I LOVE me some Christmas music.
I want my children to be able to choose their own beliefs, and not just slide along the accepted way. But I don't want them to have a stigma attached as they progress through school age.
If anyone has any pros or cons-- or ideas-- I'm open to reading them.

i always just tend to stick with the basics. God is Love. Advent is Peace, Hope, Love & Joy. Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men. Christmas is the Birth of Something Good.
I hope that helps.

Do some research! I am now doing the Yule celebration. Mostly because my three grown and married sons and their wives all have divorced parents who have remarried. That means there are eight parental families that the young families feel duty bound to divide their time and efforts to. Christmas Day and Eve are in high demand. Nobody else has even considered the Solstice but me! Happy Day! This year I am designing a scavenger hunt for my grandson, that will educate him (and the rest of the family) to the history and rich traditions of the season that countries all over the world have contributed to.
PS ...I was drawn to your blog because I have a wonderful and colorful tin fish on my kitchen wall!

I've written a blog post on our family traditions and how we celebrate both Yule and Christmas. Check it out here: http://td365.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/yule-be-comin-round-the-mountain/

Purchasing Bulk CBD Isolate at wholesale in Tucson basis is not an easy task. There are many things to consider when doing so. In fact, the cost and quality of the oil would depend on the plant it is extracted. Another factor that has a direct impact on the price of the product is the quantity of Wholesale Bulk CBD Isolate produced by the plant.
Wholesale CBD Crystalline
CBD 99% Isolate is one of the most important oils on earth. In fact, industrial hemp oil is not a drug as most people would think. The THC content in this oil isn't significant enough to produce any psychotropic effect. Our Wholesale CBD Oils and Wholesale CBD Isolate are 100% made in the USA and don't contain any THC. Many people might come across industrial hemp oil when searching for cannabidiol (CBD) oil to purchase.
CBD isolate and CBD Oil Wholesale
Hence, CBD 99% isolate wholesalers in Tucson need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for. There are numerous fake CBD Isolate wholesalers in the United States, Canada, and the UK for that matter. More than 90% of wholesalers offer low-quality oils with a purity levels.
Buy Wholesale CBD Isolate in Tucson Arizona
Our prices are quite economical compared to other so-called CBD wholesalers on the market. In fact, most of these people are middlemen or brokers who drive the prices up. That's why you need to buy from the producer if you want the best oil at an affordable price. A one-stop shop is the best place to purchase your CBD Pure Isolate, oils, and get them shipped to your doorstep. That way you get a high-quality product at a price you could easily afford. One disadvantage of hemp oil is it hasn't been extensively tested on humans as yet. Although hemp oil is likely to have health advantages to humans, it is not established properly by the medical fraternity.
Since CBD is a natural oil, it is safe to be taken orally. We offer Bulk CBD Isolate to all our deserving consumers out there. In fact, we are the leading provider of Wholesale CBD Isolate products on the market.
Wholesale CBD 99% isolate In Tucson
There is a huge problem that exists today with the enormous number of people suffering from arthritis in its many forms. It is said that well over half the population of this country who are over 60 suffer from either osteo or rheumatoid arthritis.
What both forms of the disease actually are I will not go into here, as it is a long and complex subject. But, arthritis is a form of inflammation which mainstream medicine appears unable to address.
Both are caused by what I call "bone and cartilage gravel", the bits of bone and cartilage which are left in the joints after the body has started to degenerate, rubbing in the joints each time it moves. This "gravel" rubs on the nerve ends, causing pain, whilst at the same time creating more damage as the "gravel" continues to rub away more of the bone and cartilage. In other words, a vicious circle that modern medicine cannot resolve.
Its distinctive nutty flavour makes it ideal for use in salad dressings, dips etc., as an accompaniment to all vegetables, or taken straight, as a nutritional supplement.
Hemp Oil is suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans.
Wholesale CBD Isolate In Tucson Arizona
Hemp is a plant that is a major source of confusion for many. While it's true that some species of hemp are illegal due to the substance THC, which is a psychoactive molecule, not all of the species of Hemp contain THC.
Hemp oil gained prominence with the health conscious of the world in the 1990s. For years people used the oil until it was removed from the market because oil is made from the seeds of the cannabis plant. The DEA tried to say that the oil was illegal, but in HIA vs. DEA it was determined that hemp based food products, including Hemp oil were exempt from the Controlled Substances Act.
Today, Hemp oil returns to it's seat at the top of the world of nutrition and the cosmetic world. It is important to note that there are a couple different types of Hemp oil. There is an expeller pressed variety, which is a food type product. It is used in food and cosmetics. There is also a steam distilled essential oil made from the hemp plant which is also used in cosmetics and aromatherapy practices. Here we are talking about the expeller pressed food product.
If you are a cancer sufferer and are undergoing chemotherapy, using Hemp oil is recommended at the same time. It encourages healthy cell creation and reduces the damage to the body as a result of treatment. The oil doesn't conflict with traditional medicinal treatments and is not a cure, but rather is complimentary.

As a consolation for my absence from the meeting today, I bring you news of an extremely interesting lecture I attended in Oslo last night. It might be especially relevant to anyone working with military architecture, but I think it should be of general interest as well.
The lecture was held in connection with an exhibition of a project called Decolonizing Architecture, that is dealing with how architectural intervention into the structures of Israeli settlements and military bases, can transform these places from their dominant form into more equal communities for both Israelis and Palestinians. The talk however, was more focused on the spatial practices that the Israeli military has learned from architects, in order to extend the occupation of the West Bank. It was held by an Israeli architect, Eyal Weizman, who studies how (israeli) politics are expressed as spatial conditions in Palestine, where the situation is so intense and the examples of domination through architectural means are so many. This guy also leads the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths university in London, which is based on "practice led theory", and so could be interesting in reference to our own research in the EK.
Here are links for further reading about the project and the research centre, and I am happy to tell you more about the lecture if you are interested.

Seeing Ted Leonsis on the Verizon Center Jumbotron Sunday at the end of Game 4 — clapping rhythmically in his No. 42 Nene jersey, soaking in the paying customers' approving applause — is again seeing that winning is sports' great deodorant.
It not only covers up the stench of all those rebuilding years for Washington's NBA team; it masks the fact that Leonsis, also the owner of the District's newly reeling NHL team, parted ways a day earlier with his general manager of 17 years and his fourth coach in six years.
The Wizards are not just adept at setting screens for each other; they've finally started to set picks for the Capitals, providing cover for the owner of a former Stanley Cup contender suddenly in reset mode.
Actually, they're returning the favor after the Caps very much had their backs since 2008, during lean basketball times on Abe Pollin Way.
The oldest fans in D.C. proper contend that Washington has always been a sleeping giant of a hoops town, awakening every 10 years or so when a team gives it a reason to care.
But the further the Wizards go into May — the more they would begin to resemble a genuine contender themselves — the more their turnabout story would become bigger than basketball.
See, three or four times annually the same question makes its way around barber shops, sports bars and bored newsrooms in Washington: Which local team is closer to winning a title? It hasn't happened since Joe Gibbs's first go-round in 1992, 22 years and counting.
Between 2008 and 2011, the Capitals, annually chosen by hockey observers to play for the Cup, were an easy answer. Then the Nationals joined the party two years ago, growing up in a blink, winning the National League East and coming within a sliver of playing in the NLCS. Then Robert Griffin III happened in 2012 and, well, didn't happen in 2013.
But as major-revenue teams among the four major North American sports go, the Wizards have not been vaguely part of that first-team-to-a-title discussion since Gilbert Arenas crashed and burned. And even then, they were a remote choice because there were simply too many better teams in front of them.
It's a different day with these Wizards.
The Nationals' talent and depth still feel like the odds-on favorite to win it all first, especially with baseball's recent postseason crapshoots.
But then, they have yet to win a single major league postseason series. In point of fact, except for the Capitals, no team in Washington has won a series or an NFL playoff game since the football team on Jan. 7, 2006.
These Wizards are closing in, one win shy of knocking off Chicago in the first round after two riveting wins on the road and taking Game 4 by force Sunday afternoon to go up 3-1.
Bradley Beal is knocking down improbable jump shots late in taut games; John Wall is a flat-out playmaker, his decision-making so improved at the point; Nene's midrange jumper is nirvana (even if his poise needs work); and Trevor Ariza — once thought to be a journeyman contract in a recycling deal for Arenas's and then Rashard Lewis's $100 million-plus contracts — turned out to be a godsend.
Did we mention Polska's own Marcin Gortat, that 6-foot-11 indefatigable, body-fat-of-a-hamster big man?
The Wizards aren't just buying Leonsis cover for his hockey team's foibles. Led by a 20-year-old Beal and a 23-year-old Wall, they are the young upstarts in an Eastern Conference soon for the taking.
No one knows what LeBron James will do for sure this summer in Miami, where he can either stay with the Heat or opt out of his contract. Either way, Dwyane Wade is calcifying and Miami is not the indomitable champion it once was.
Indiana looks to be imploding, its players feuding, its dominance earlier this season replaced with dysfunction and a team that has yet to find itself for good after February.
The Knicks have salary-cap issues and the reality that Carmelo Anthony might not be great enough to be considered the best player on a championship team.
The Nets are a mix of ancient (Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett) and not as good as we thought they were (Deron Williams and Joe Johnson). Even when Derrick Rose is healthy, Bulls management doesn't seem to care about championship aspirations enough to keep someone like Luol Deng, their second-leading scorer before he was traded.
Who's to say whether the Wizards can close out the Bulls in Games 5 or 6 or make hay in the second round against either Indiana or Atlanta? Who knows whether they can keep Gortat, Ariza or both, since free agency could very well take its toll on a team most non-Wizards season-ticket holders are just getting to know?
But for the first time in a long time, a window is open for a pro basketball team here to jump through and ignite the multitudes, many of whom have just as hard a time remembering the last championship parade in town as they do the night Wes Unseld embraced Mr. Pollin, in 1978, when an NBA team last was the king of Washington.
Here's hoping Ted saves his No. 42 Nene jersey for a night like that.

One plate buffet, with a cat's portion of food, bland seasoning and boring atmosphere may be nice to show off to your peers or date, but it will never be able to satisfy your appetite and you know it very well too! There are some things lives that do not have to cost you a fortune, and does not require you to cross the seven seas to be able to enjoy.
Nothing hits the spot like a good old, southern style barbecue and grill on the backyard with your friends and family. There is no food more coveted and guarded in the family that your grandma's beer can chicken with her secret blend of spices.
Nothing brings the family together, closer, than a small get-together over some great barbecue of roasted chuck and baked potatoes. You are bound to become the center of attention with the special lamb rack with Greek rub recipe you have wanted to make for them. It is true: nothing takes to back to the old day, and invites the better days, like some good food. And no food is more welcoming and warm than some great grill and BBQ.
But, being around the grill the right way is easier said than done, all grill masters know, how difficult it to master grill-cooking perfectly is. Getting juicy, succulent meat while being cooked to perfect doneness and texture requires some serious trial and error, and years of practice on the grill.
However, thanks to pellet grills and its wonders, can cook just as well as the experienced pit masters without having to burn down the house.
A pellet grill is an outdoor cooking appliance that is a combination of several other cooking devices: the oven, stove, grill etc. A pellet can be used to cover a huge range of cooking styles including baking, searing, grilling of course, and smoking too! It uses electricity to run the auger which feed the machine its fuel, the pellets.
Pellets of numerous flavorings are available on the market; hickory, oak and olive are just to name a few. These flavored pellets are what smokes the food on the grill. To give you a better understanding of a pellet grill, I will review to you the Traeger Pellet grills, and who knows, maybe this will become the excuse for your next grill party!About Traeger
Traeger has a long and valuable part in the world of grills and BBQ. Initially it began in Oregon in the 1990s when Joe Traeger developed and patented the Traeger pellet grill in 1985 and 1986, respectively. While the initial production was slow since it was able to cover only a small geographical location and crowd, the popularity of its quality work triggered its eventual mass production.
Its quality is what lead it to reach the home of many consumers. Traeger is committed to providing quality grills, skilled workmanship and the richest flavor in their pellets. All of its grills feature 6 uses: grill, bake, smoke, slow cook, braise and BBQ.

This hatch could be a way to pass to another space, basement, tunnel or whatever. But in the meantime it is also an exit from such a space to the garden. What it really is we will not know, because the hatch appears to be locked tight!

US boots on North Korean soil?
The report in The Diplomat, an Asia-Pacific current affairs magazine, quoted US army Brigadier General Neil Tolley, commander for United States Forces Korea, as saying at a conference last week that the US and South Korea sent commandos for reconnaissance missions.
The Pentagon has dismissed the report, saying the general's words were taken out of context.
"My understanding is that the general's comments were contorted, distorted, misreported, and that there is in no way any substance to the assertion. Again, it was misreported that there are US boots on the ground in North Korea. That is simply incorrect," spokesman George Little said.
However the bell has already been rung and could worsen already strained US-North Korean relations.
Eric Sirotkin from the National Campaign to End the Korean War claims that the US has always been using the threat of a rogue North Korea to serve its ends.
"We tend to make out the threat of a very violent and fearful situation in North Korea to serve other ends, to serve a large military base pointing to China on Jeju Island, to serve maintaining so many troops occupying South Korea. There are a lot of reasons we would like to maintain that edge there," he says.
Sirotkin notes that such an operation would be a violation of the 1953 Armistice Agreement, which was already been breached by not removing all foreign troops from the Korean Peninsula.
"The Armistice Agreement is a faulty document – it hasn't really maintained the peace."
This leads to increased distrust, builds the rhetoric on both sides and makes a climate of discussion and dialogue more difficult, he maintains.
"This type of mistrust is the exact reason that we need dialogue," he concludes.

Here in the Environment team we're firm believers of practicing what we preach, to this end over the past few years we've been gradually greening up the depot where we work.
Our attempts started with the humble compost bin, we've been diligently composting our apple cores, banana skins and tea bags ever since. We also try to get to the office as sustainably as possible, with a large number of staff either cycling or walking to work.
We then managed to up the ante a bit by creating a wildlife garden and putting green roofs onto a couple of our storage containers. We even have an artificially created moorhen nest (an old tyre and some canes) which is currently housing a mum and three baby moorhens.
A more recent addition includes a vegetable garden planted up in recycling boxes which residents have returned. All of the vegetables are watered using rainwater captured in a broken, repaired and now adapted water-butt wheelie bin. But the real jewel in the crown is a hive of honey bees which has just been introduced to the yard, firmly tucked away in a secret corner these bee's will hopefully be producing the first batch of Wearside Honey next year!

Wireless systems have trouble getting through physical barriers between them and the dog such as walls, trees, slopes, etc. They are also slow, and often correcting the dog seconds too late allowing your dog to excape.
GPS Electric Dog Fence - The only fence system to offer complete mobility. However, they can be quite
sluggish by giving a slow response. The GPS signal frequently drops out when there are obstacles blocking
the signal, such as trees, buildings or heavy clouds. They are great for keeping track of your dog's location.
In-Ground Wired Dog Fence with radio controlled receivers are the most reliable and trouble-free systems when professionally installed. They can be configured to the exact boundaries of your property, 50+ acres, are free from obstacles blocking the signal, and can accommodate any number of receivers.

What Is An Electronic Dog Fence?
We place a wire underground around the "off limits" area of your property. The wire is completely out-of-sight. Your dog will wear one of our customized collars with a built-in receiver. When your dog comes within the range set on the transmitter, (usually from 3 to 6 feet as needed) it sends a signal from the receiver to the transmitter and your dog gets a warning stimulus in the form of a beep and a mild static shock. If your dog doesn't back away and continues to go toward the off-limits area, a slightly sterner stimulus follows. Note: This is not electric current, but only a static shock like walking across your carpeted floor and touching the door knob. We install flags every 10 feet or so as a temporary visual marker to the boundary wire. The training requires walking your dog on leash about 15 minutes twice a day for approximately 10 days until your dog knows and respects the boundary.
Our Dog Guard electronic dog fence includes a lifetime warranty and is America's most trouble free dog fence system. You will experience peace of mind knowing your dog is safe and getting that much needed exercise.

|Congressional leaders and state party officials are insisting that the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) radically redirect the committee's resources toward congressional races and other local contests and away from the presidential enchilada.
|In behind-the-scenes positioning, key congressional lawmakers are seeking to prevent the national party from lapsing into another four-year presidential gestation cycle, where the DNC serves as nothing more than an incubator for the party's ambitions to capture the White House, say leadership aides.
That congressional strategy to deemphasize the presidential race is being paralleled at the state level, where party chairmen are withholding their endorsements and plan to swing their 112 votes in one bloc for a single candidate.
Those party leaders will seek to extract concrete assurances from the eight potential candidates for DNC chairperson who have been invited to address the Association of State Democratic Chairmen (ASDC) on Dec. 11 in Orlando.
Mark Brewer, chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party and of the ASDC, said that his group, with its 112 members, "represents at least a fourth" of the 447 total votes, "or even a third, if some of the other committee members don't show."
"What we'd like to see is much more focus on the state and local parties in every state," Brewer said.
"I've asked the state party chairman state vice chairs to withhold endorsements, and then we will discuss the candidates and make a joint endorsement," Brewer said.
Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, New Democrat Network president Simon Rosenberg, strategist Donnie Fowler and telecom executive Leo Hindery have accepted Brewer's invitation to make opening remarks and then participate in a question-and-answer session in Orlando.
In addition, Rep. Martin Frost (D-Texas), former New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne ShaheenCynthia (Jeanne) Jeanne ShaheenDesign leaks for Harriet Tubman bill after Mnuchin announces delay Design leaks for Harriet Tubman bill after Mnuchin announces delay Bipartisan senators push new bill to improve foreign lobbying disclosures MORE, former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, former White House Chief of Staff Harold Ickes and former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk have all been invited.
The desire to recalibrate the focus of the committee appears widespread through the Democratic caucus.
"[House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi [D-Calif.] and others are making it very clear that something has got to change," a well-placed Democratic leadership aide said.
"It boils down to making the DNC less of a presidential committee," the staffer added.
In the absence of a clear national figure to dictate the strategy and direction of the DNC, a clutch of congressional factions is seeking to exert influence on the outcome.
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) are also demanding that the next chairperson dedicate more time and effort towards reaching out black and Hispanic voters.
Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) is spearheading the CBC's effort to win concrete assurances from the next chairman on a range of specific issues. Black lawmakers are unwilling to make public their precise demands, but several said that there are widespread concerns in the caucus on how the DNC and the Kerry campaign executed their minority outreach plan.
"It's not so much the who but the what," a key black lawmaker said. "This is all Meeks right now, but others of us will get involved."
Meeks declined to comment on what sort of specific demands he is making. "It's best we keep this private for now," he said.
The CBC and the CHC may join forces in issuing their demands, though a formal alliance has not been established, said lawmakers and aides. Many key Hispanic lawmakers were angered with the DNC's outreach efforts to Hispanic voters. Several lawmakers said that the DNC needed to produce original Spanish-language content instead of providing translations of English material.
Democratic strategists stressed that the race is still in infancy, noting that no one has officially declared a candidacy.
"All eyes are on Dean's next move right now. Everyone is waiting on what he is deciding what to do, and that will shape any decision by any candidate," a prominent Democratic strategist said.
Frost began sounding out his colleagues on becoming the next chairman almost immediately upon Congress's return for the lame-duck session last month. He presents an intriguing choice for the party, said congressional aides, some of whom were not particularly fond of Frost.
The former chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), who lost his seat as a result of Texas redistricting, has contacted nearly every member of the House Democratic leadership team and has been making calls throughout the party caucus, said numerous aides.
"Calls have been made to him, and calls have been made to people and members of the DNC," said Frost spokeswoman Susan McAvoy.
McAvoy said that "no final decision has been made," and said she did not know if Frost would be attending the ASDC event in Florida.
Allies of Frost said the former two-time chairman of the DCCC would bring a combination of policy and political skills to the job and create a nexus between issues on the Hill and grassroots fundraising.
Meanwhile, Lanny Davis, former White House counsel to President Clinton, is planning on sending a detailed memo to all DNC members, Democratic governors and Democratic members of Congress this week that will recommend criteria for selecting the next chairperson.
Davis told The Hill that it is essential for the new DNC chairperson to communicate effectively on television and bring state governors and local elected officials to the center of the Democratic Party. Democrats at the local level have done better than party leaders at the national level, he noted.
Davis has not endorsed a candidate. He said the DNC post could be split, with the "chairman of the board" tasked with communicating the Democrats' message and the "chief executive officer" in charge with running "the nuts and bolts" of the Party.

Latics look to build momentum after great Charlton win.
- Match Preview: Wigan Athletic v Bristol Rovers.
- All of the key information ahead of the game
- Tickets Adults £22 in advance, £24 on the day.
WIGAN ATHLETIC v BRISTOL ROVERS
KICK OFF 3.00pm
- TICKET NEWS: Tickets rise £2 on the day.
- VIDEO: Paul Cook's thoughts prior to the game
- iFOLLOW: Listen to full match commentary on ifollow
Following last weekend's first defeat of the season at Shrewsbury, Paul Cook said he wanted a positive reaction and the midweek performance at Charlton certainly provided that, as comprehensive a victory as he could have hoped for against a side who had a 100% record on their own ground.
Latics now have back to back home fixtures, starting with the visit of Rovers and quickly followed with the rearranged fixture against Northampton Town next Tuesday 19 September. Cook will be targeting six points but says: "football is not played on paper, we have to be on our game, week in week out, every team you play always has qualities and I know Darrell Clarke will have his lads fired up for this one."
Rovers have had an inconsistent start to the season, losing their first two games, 1-0 away to Charlton at The Valley followed by a heavy 4-1 defeat to Peterborough at the Memorial Ground. Their first win came at Bury courtesy of a Billy Bodin double, although a comfortable 3-0 score-line at Gigg Lane was almost overturned with two late goals to make the final score 3-2.
Bodin was on the mark again as Rovers beat Fleetwood Town 3-1 to secure a first home win, they lost 3-1 at Bradford before bouncing back at home to Walsall last weekend with a 2-1 win. Defeat at home to Oldham Athletic on Tuesday, however, will have been a real blow.
Clarke has overseen a huge transformation over the past three seasons, overcoming the disappointment of relegation to the National League with two successive promotions and a solid finish in last seasons Sky Bet League One campaign.
Darrell Clarke - turnaround
The sides have not met since February 2001, so there is no recent history between us – this will be only Rovers' 3rd ever visit to the stadium.
In Detail:
League: Latics 9 wins, Bristol Rovers 10 wins and 5 draws
FA Cup: No matches
League Cup: No matches
Home record (league only): Latics 8 wins, Bristol Rovers 2 wins, 2 draws
There are very few historical connections between the sides. Lee Nicholls spent a spell on loan there in 2015-16.
The three big ones are Jason Roberts, Nathan Ellington and Larry Lloyd. Ellington and Roberts were a potent strike force for The Gas in the late 90s, and of course were reunited at Latics in 2004, their goals helping us reach the Barclays Premiership.
Looking back in time, former Latics player manager Larry Lloyd is a native Bristolian and begun his glorious career at Eastville in 1967 before moving to Liverpool two years later.
The only other connection is Steve Morgan who played for both clubs in the mid-1990s
Nathan Ellington – hero at both clubs

The New England Patriots run one of the most tight-lipped organizations in the National Football League. So with ten days left before the start of the 2011 draft, it's noticeable how public their alleged interest in Alabama running back Mark Ingram has become.
SI.com's Peter King wrote in today's MMQB column that the Patriots "love" Ingram. Hours later, it was revealed that the 2009 Heisman winner is en route to Foxboro for an official pre-draft visit.
"Headed to the airport, off to Boston," Ingram wrote on Twitter. "Another week living in the airport."
Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald believes the Patriots' interest in Ingram is "genuine," even if Bill Belichick's team doesn't typically go about business so openly.
WEEI.com's Christopher Price suggests Ingram's Patriots visit could be mostly for medical purposes.
The Patriots hold the 17th, 28th, and 33rd picks in the draft, and Ingram could conceivably be available at each of those selections. It was recently reported that Ingram's been removed from at least two draft boards due to a knee condition, and NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock questioned Ingram's first-round value even before the injury problems came to light.
We're not sure what to believe. But we wouldn't be surprised if the Patriots' pre-draft pursuit of Mark Ingram is all a smokescreen, and they don't want him.
We also wouldn't be surprised if they drafted him.

It's beautiful! I think the design of the legs are my favorite part. Also, the curling in butternut sets it off. Strong, yet elegant. It's not just another live edge, log cabin style piece of furniture, but also includes some of your own design and joinery. The result is really, really nice. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the comments everyone!
Dusty56 – I tend to agree with you about it looking like maple, although I brought it by my local hardwood supplier and they said it was butternut. Its a family business that has been around for 80 years.. I did not argue :) It also had that nice peppery smell like its cousin walnut.
tbone74 – I used mortise and tenon joints.. Nothing fancy.
Live edge furniture is clearly not for everyone but when I saw this slab I had to give it a try. The colors, the shape, and of course the edges I really liked. I tried to keep the base simple and held off the urge to add any more details. Other than some sanding and epoxy (to stabilize some cracks) I left the top just as it was – even the odd angles at the end. I could have taken the top, cleaned up all the edges, and added some nice curves like my other projects but I got tired and I like wasting material.
Thanks for looking!

I'm committed to the blog-a-day idea but I'm looking over my post ideas notes and can't find anything I'm modivated to write about today.
I'm getting ready to move into a new office in a new building and there are large orange moving crates all around my space and everyone else's. Plus I have to move out of my secondary residence in the other city where I spend my weekends. My love life is in a state of transition — to either break-up or make-up. Everything feels unsettled and messy.
Side-effect = my brain feels uneasy and my thoughts are unorganised and chaotic.
Result = mood swings from happy to restlessness to blah!
<deep sigh>
Meh…wish I could just sleep through all this and wake-up when it's all done.

On June 2, FIU's office in D.C. opened its doors to welcome students who traveled to Washington, D.C. for the summer to fulfill internships at various sites around the city.
Each year, FIU in D.C. hosts a gathering to get to know the interns, introduce them to each other, as well as offer introductory information about Washington. Networking and professional development are also part of a larger engagement with the interns throughout the summer.
"The collaborative energy of the FIU team was felt throughout the entirety of the workshop, and, as an intern, I left feeling significantly more informed on the resources available to me through my university" said Sebastian Villanueva, who is interning in FIU's office in D.C.
With interns at NGO's, non-profit organizations, government agencies and private corporations, FIU students can be found abundantly throughout the Capital. Thanks in major part to FIU's partnership with The Washington Center (TWC) for academic internships, just under half of the interns in D.C. are participating in TWC's program.
"The moment I stepped foot on our nation's capital, I knew I belonged here. I can't wait to reflect at the end of this summer, and share how I left my mark," said Estefania Delgado, intern at the Department of Defense.
Check back periodically for the summer interns' stories and recaps of the events happening in Washington. Read their stories here.

Hello, my name is Rabbi Michel Masagia , from Temple Israel of Hollywood Los Angeles. I am so excited to take a group of families from my Synagogue to Israel. I have been planning this trip for two years, and now that we are here, it is unbelievable. It is great to see members of my synagogue with their children, grandchildren, parents, and kids of all ages come and do exciting things together. The activities we do range from hiking Massada, walking through ancient tunnels, visiting old synagogues, and being able to laugh and find meaning together, in essence seeing ourselves through this land. The experience in Israel allows one to understand the relationship between Arabs, Christians, Jews, Bedouins, Muslims, while walking through the Jewish quarter and seeing the old churches and graves on the mount of olives. In truth, everything comes to life here, and the Torah that we read about is not just words, but it is actually right there, we are walking on the land of the Torah. It has been unbelievable.

Mitsubishi Electric
Ducted | Wall Split | Commercial
Needhamair has been Mitsubishi Electrics largest Diamond dealer in Western Australia for over 20y ears straight and number one in Australia 3 times over our 22 year history. So for home air conditioner sizing, prices and expert advice, speak to the specialist in Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning – Perths largest Diamond Dealer – Needhamair
Needhamair teamed with Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners in 1994 due to Mitsubishi Electric Australia being world-leaders in reliability, quietness and energy efficiency, and proven performance in the tough Western Australian environment. Needhamair required systems to be designed to heat or cool small to medium sized applications, with the new R410A M Series range providing a versatile, yet affordable air conditioning solution.
Needhamair's choice of Mitsubishi Electric products are due to many reasons, from the ease of installation, to being one of the quietest air conditioners on the market (as low as 19dBA), as well as the newly designed and attractive airconditioner range offering the perfect way to ensure an environment that is comfortable with the minimum of disruption.
Surprisingly good value for money, the efficiency of the M Series airconditioning heat pump range – don't forget all reverse cycle systems ducted or wall mounted systems not just cool but also heat – give substantial savings in heating mode, when compared with more conventional heating systems. With additional features such as 'Econo' allow airflow to be precisely directed towards users, allowing set temperatures to be raised by 2oC with no loss in comfort and a 20% gain in energy efficiency – Imagine that.
Adaptable enough to suit a range of applications, the M Series includes "Multihead split systems" that will run up to eight indoor units off just one outdoor unit. That includes a combination of indoor units from – wall mounted splits – floor mounted – underceiling – ceiling cassette – slim line bulkhead ducted units & even up to 7.1kw Mid static ducted units cooling or heating up to 50m2 per indoor.
With pipe length and height differences far superior to a lot of one–one split systems designed to be installed back to back the new M Series is extremely versatile, providing solutions to many unique airconditioning installations.
Mitsubishi Electrics range of reverse cycle ducted air conditioning systems provide the ultimate in comfort, year round for many different properties. With the largest product range to choose from MEA ducted airconditioners will fit a modernist low pitch designed home, apartments and offices with height restrictions and of course a single level pitched roof home.
NEW – Mini VRF Single Fan PUMY-SP
The compact design of this new series has a 27% height reduction and a 25% reduction in weight allowing it to be installed in more confined spaces (such as balconies) compared to the dual fan model. It is available in a capacity range from 10 – 15.5kw.
The new Mini VRF single fan series allows up to 12 indoor units to be connected to a single outdoor unit, using the standard City Multi branch pipework systems or via branch boxes to connect Residential M Series and Commercial Mr Slim and City Multi indoor units. This makes it an economic and efficient solution for multi room applications, whilst also offering space saving benefits, making it a perfect solution of apartments, and homes where space is limited for the Outdoor Unit.

People have used dye plants to mask their gray hair for over six thousand years; you don't have to use oxidative hair dye to cover gray; Ancient Sunrise® Henna for Hair products can permanently, completely cover your gray hair with nothing other than three kinds of powdered leaves and a bit of fruit, but you have to know the science behind it to get the best results.
People can dye their hair with chemicals about twenty times before beginning to have problems with sensitization (developing an allergy to the chemicals).* If a person is beginning to show symptoms of allergy to oxidative hair dye, that person should be transitioned to Ancient Sunrise® products as quickly as possible before the reactions become serious. Allergic symptoms present as puffy eyelids, rashes and wheezing in the weeks following hair dye. Few people recognize that the rashes are related to their hair dye, as they are a delayed reaction. These allergies will not get better. They can only get worse until a severe reaction suddenly develops. Ancient Sunrise® has no metallic salts; you can transition from oxidative dyes to Ancient Sunrise® without damaging the hair.

I've been using the new Kindle Fire HDX for a few weeks now, watching shows like Betas, the new original series from Amazon, reading books and email, and of course, ordering items from Amazon.com using my Prime membership. I'm pretty familiar with how to use the device, but ran into a snag when I recently had to change my Gmail password when a friend's account was hacked.
I've told you before how revolutionary Amazon's Mayday feature is; offering life video help to guide you through the working of your device. It's one-way video, two-way chat, and the support person can make changes to your system – with your permission – or simply show you how to do it yourself.
They answered my question in barely a New York minute and I thought to myself; if only my mother could call them instead of me when she has questions! Yes, this is a great gift for someone looking for an e-reader or tablet, and who might need a little hand-holding. The Mayday feature is available 247 for free. Watch how this works:

Mark Fisher
response to Mark Wastell's Epiphany in Wire 292, fascinating
not because it is a Rashômon-like alternative reading of
the same event, but because - contrary to certain prevailing
hedonic relativist orthodoxies - it demonstrates that there is
something more involved in aesthetic judgments than a mere
registering of sensations. The difference between Mark's response
and Simon's was not at the level of pleasure; it wasn't that Mark
found Parker and Braxton any more agreeable than Simon did. But, in
Mark's case, the initially disagreeable sensations induced him to
take a leap beyond the pleasure principle: a cognitive
act, a commitment, a decision to override the 'anger and confusion'
that the music first caused him to feel.(Simon of course has taken
such leaps in respect of other scenes, other musics.)
The mantra of hedonic relativism has it that 'everything is subjective', where subjectivity is construed as an arbitrary set of preferences. But Mark's Epiphany vindicates the view that certain encounters - events - produce subjectivities, even as they destitute us, deprive us of old worlds.

In April 2012, Democratic Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich's longtime law and real estate partner, Marcantonio "Marc" Domenico Macri, was arrested by the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office on charges that he used his law firm to help large scale drug traffickers launder money. The three first-degree money laundering charges against Macri, who was then North Bergen's municipal prosecutor, carried a minimum of 30 years in prison and a maximum of 60 years.
At the time of the arrest, Sokolich told reporters, "I'm still in a state of shock," despite that fact that Sokolich was an original investor and on the board of directors of the bank that Macri used to launder the drug money, the Bank of New Jersey in Fort Lee. Sokolich removed Macri's name from their joint accounts at the bank two days after Macri's arrest.
In 2013, Macri's partners in the "large scale" drug distribution scheme, which distributed over 1000 pounds of marijuana a year, were indicted by then Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli on 25 counts. Macri, however, was not named in the indictment. Molinelli said at the time that Macri's case was still pending. It remains unknown whether the charges were dismissed or whether Macri was given entry into the Pretrial Intervention program meant for minor offenders like trespassers.
Since then, Macri has been busy. On March 1, 2016, he was appointed as a Commissioner on the Fort Lee Parking Authority. The Leonia Planning Board's January 27, 2016 Agenda shows that Macri and Sokolich both represented clients before the board on the same date. The Fort Lee Board of Adjustment records show that Macri represented clients before the board several times between 2013 and 2017. New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission Records show that Macri donated money to the Democratic Club of Palisades Park in 2015.
Molinelli Linked to Bribery Scheme with Criminal Defense Attorney
Macri's choice of attorney, Robert Galantucci of the Hackensack firm Galantucci and Patuto, likely played a role in the disappearance of the criminal charges.
During the 2015 racketeering trial of former Bergen County Democratic Organization Chairman Joseph Ferriero, a federal prosecutor, Rachel Honig, stated in court that Galantucci had funneled $500,000 into a bank account controlled by Ferriero. The money was purportedly meant for Ferriero's "legal services" on behalf of Rangaram Ragi, a Teaneck doctor who had been repeatedly been charged with sexually assaulting over a dozen women.
In 2003, Dr. Ragi was indicted on two counts of sexually assaulting patients and faced up to 10 years in prison. In 2005, Molinelli dismissed the charges and allowed the doctor to enter into the Pretrial Intervention Program which resulted in the charges being removed from the doctor's criminal record.
Ragi continued to practice medicine in Teaneck and continued to sexually assault women. Eventually, more women came forward.
The accusations resulted in two more indictments: one in 2006 on fourth-degree criminal sexual contact related to six female patients, which was dismissed for reasons that are not clear in court records; and again the following year on the same charges related to four alleged victims.
In 2008 Molinelli's office and Ragi's criminal attorney, Galantucci, hammered out a resolution that called for a second stint in PTI that was approved by Judge Harry Carroll.
Molinelli, a close friend of Ferriero and the Treasurer of and Counsel to the Bergen County Democratic Organization, was appointed to the position of Bergen County Prosecutor in 2002 by Governor James McGreevey at the behest of Ferriero.
Ferriero worked for Galantucci & Patuto in the late 1970s and early 1980s, according to former members of the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office.
Macri's Drug Partners' 2009 Middlesex County Case
Macri's criminal conspirators in the case, Danny E. Saleh and Matthew P. Martin, had been raided and arrested by the Woodbridge Police Department and the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office in May 2009. Police had executed a search warrant at a cargo facility on Georges Avenue in Woodbridge and discovered Saleh and Martin present with 52 pounds of marijuana. Both had several thousand dollars of cash in their possession.
Former Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan, now a Superior Court Judge, had agreed to settle a forfeiture case against both Saleh and Martin in exchange for approximately four thousand dollars, according to a consent order. Saleh was represented by New Brunswick attorney Joseph Benedict. According to NorthJersey.com, Martin had declared bankruptcy in 2011 while living in a $5000 a month apartment and owning a new Lamborghini.
Much like Molinelli, former Middlesex County Prosecutor Kaplan had been embroiled in corruption allegations and appears to have made the case against Saleh and Martin go away. Less than three years later after the Middlesex County raid and arrest, both men were arrested once again–this time, in a luxury apartment in Edgewater with cocaine, tens of thousands of dollars in cash, luxury vehicles, and Macri.
New Jersey Department of Corrections records show that none of defendants in the case served a day in jail. New Jersey Supreme Court, Disciplinary Review Board, and Office of Attorney Ethics records show that no ethics investigations were ever brought against Macri or Sokolich for the scheme.

Belper-based male chorus BelCanto is looking to expand and new members are now needed.
Following the success of 2014, when BelCanto created and performed a series of concerts to commemorate the start of World War One and in doing so raised £4,260 for Help for Heroes, they are now looking to recruit new members to develop the choir.
Andrew White, BelCanto's musical director said: "We have come a long way since our launch in 2009 and last year was a fantastic achievement but now is the time to grow and develop our repertoire to enable us to create entertaining concerts for 2015 and beyond.
"To do this we need more members "
Chairman, Craig Griffiths added: "The aims of the chorus are simple.
"We intend to make male voice singing an interesting, enjoyable and stimulating experience for men new to group singing and those familiar with traditional male voice choirs but who are looking for something different"
When asked in what way 'different', Craig explained that BelCanto is a three- part choir - tenor, baritone and bass and sings very different types of music, from The Beatles to show music to sea shanties, all arranged specifically by Andrew White for the chorus's particular way of singing, producing a unique sound to entertain audiences.
He also explained that practice nights are a fantastic way to de-stress and have a good time with like-minded guys usually finishing off with a pint at the local!
The benefits to choir members are well publicised. While the feelgood effects of group singing have long been recognized, there is growing evidence that it can have a positive impact on a range of physical and psychological conditions.
Depression, high blood pressure, stress levels and lung disease are all conditions which experts believe can be improved by joining a choir.
New president John Cresswell pointed out that BelCanto try to organise a sensible number of concerts each year and "always look forward to entertaining our audiences as well as, in many cases, raising much needed cash for charity.
"What better reason could there be?"
BelCanto would welcome men of any age or ability. There is no need for experience or an ability to read music.
If you enjoy singing in the bath, shower or anywhere else for that matter come and give it a go.
The male chorus does not audition, just come and sing along.
Please feel free come to one of BelCanto's practice sessions to see what the ensemble is all about.
Belcanto rehearses each Tuesday evening, from 7.45pm to 9.45pm, in Belper Baptist Church, Bridge St. Belper.
A can-do attitude and a sense of humour is all that's required.
Alternatively, you can contact Sid Harbey on 0162955478 or Dave Storr on 07876422679 for further information.

Fieldwork for ChinaVine was completed in that portion of Kham located within the Kandzé Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province. The prefecture's area is 58,332 square miles (151,078 square kilometers). The population is approximately 880,000, with Tibetans accounting for 77.8% of the total population. The capital city of Kanzé is Dartsedo. The main language spoken in the prefecture is the Kham dialect of Tibetan. This includes sub-dialects, at times, unintelligible to other Tibetans living in Kanzé.
From May 20 – 29, 2015 the ChinaVine fieldwork team traveled approximately 2000 kilometers (1243 miles) on an itinerary that included the towns of Dartsedo, Drango, Sertar, Pelyou, Gato Monastery Village, Dêge, Kandzé, Rongdrak and Lhagang. At 5500 meters (18,044 feet), Mount Chola was the highest pass ascended by the ChinaVine team. The towns and gompas we visited in the valley areas were between 2800 (9,186 ft.) and 3400 meters (11,155 ft.). Travel was by two Toyota Land Cruisers on roads ranging from improved four or two lane highways to unpaved pathways. At times roads were being improved as the fieldwork team traveled them. In the mountains, roads or pathways were often snow covered. Falling rocks were also common. Wandering Yak had the right of way at all times. The region in which fieldwork was conducted is associated with the parasitic fungus, ophiocordyceps sinensis, known locally as Yartsu Gunbu or "winter worm." In English it is referred to as "caterpillar fungus." Winter worm is believed to have medicinal qualities and is quite valuable. The harvesting and sale of winter worm contributes significantly to the regional economy. Harvested in the spring, the river valleys were dotted with encampments of collectors. Winter worm was readily available from collectors in village and city squares as well as in local apothecaries.
The members of the field work team in Kandzé were Doug Blandy (University of Oregon), John Fenn (University of Oregon), Laurie Hicks (University of Maine), Hilary Kane (University of Maine), Yu Quin (Minzu University), Yang Bhum Tsering, Wuerxiya (Minzu University and University of Oregon). The team's principle Tibetan translator was Yang Bhum Tsering. However, there were times where a Tibetan dialect was first translated into a more standard form of Tibetan in order for Yang Bhum Tsering to fully comprehend the nuances of the conversation. The team's principle Chinese translators were Yu Quin and Wuerxiya. Yang Bhum Tsering translated to Chinese with Yu Quin and Wuerxiya translating to English. Principle videographers/photographers were John Fenn, Laurie Hicks, Hilary Kane and Wuerxiya. Doug Blandy and Laurie Hicks conducted interviews.
Principle interpretation for the ChinaVine website is by Doug Blandy and Laurie Hicks with additional contributions by John Fenn, Wuerxiya and Yang Bhum Tsering. Bridget Hall (University of Oregon) was the team's media manager during the interpretive process.
Language Usage
Tibetan words and place names used in this section of ChinaVine conform to usage in the Tibetan and Himalayan Library (THL). In those cases where a match could not be found in the THL, the phonetic spellings were provided by the people we interviewed, or by our interpreters, during fieldwork.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've done anything with this blog. Seriously, I haven't written anything here in at least a year and before that it had probably been just as long. For those of you that don't know, I started writing for a variety of different publications a few years back which commanded most of my time and most of my work can currently be found on Thrillist.com.
With that being said, I've also been working on another MASSIVE project which has taken a long time to get all worked out and while some of you may be aware, most of you have been probably a bit in the dark. While it's been a long time in the making, I can now safely say to you all that my very first cook book is on it's way.
The recipes have been written, the photographs have been taken, and we're going through the final proofing stages right now with the book set to release this spring. It's taken a lot of blood, sweet, and tears, but it was all ultimately worth it.
The books focus is lake fish; i.e. the kind of fish you catch out of Midwestern lakes. In it there are recipes for all kinds of cool things like sunfish, crappies, northern pike, walleye, perch, and more. The idea was to bring a lot of easy, yet modern flavors together to create a variety of different types of recipes in bunch of different styles and flavor profiles.
These recipes are all 100% the kinds of things that I love to cook and they utilize a lot of global flavors while using as many local ingredients as I could get my hands on. It's a lot of fun and it's my hope that you'll all like it when it comes out.
So, with all of that, I'm ready to get back to blogging about the food things that I care about and writing new fun recipes for you all! Hopefully I haven't lost too many of you during my long hiatus, but things are finally starting to come together and I hope that you'll all be here along for the ride with me.

Essie's Wicked - weekly nail review/
Last week I was super grumpy, make that uber-grumpy pants. I was hungry, tired and cranky; what made it worse was we couldn't find a place to eat for lunch. Who would've guessed most places don't open until dinner time in Melbourne's CBD on Saturdays?! We finally reached a pub amidst a rainstorm; on a superficial level my day had gone from good, to bad, to worse. I made for bad company and I think Saturday's sentiment was telling and foreboding. Prior to my mini-meltdown I had my nails painted with Essie's Wicked. The colour is a dark cherry red with brown undertones; by weeks end it looked more like mahogany. I must say, Wicked matched my moodiness and the roller coaster ride I didn't know I was about to go on.
Two coats are all you need and be sure to sandwich them between reliable base and top coats.
