Crossfire Trail
Paperback(Mass Market Paperback - Reissue)
Rafe Caradec—gambler, wanderer, soldier of fortune—was as hard a man as the battlefields and waterfronts of Latin America could fashion, but he was as good as his word. As Charles Rodney lay dying in a dank ship's fo'c'sle, Rafe swore to make sure that Rodney's Wyoming ranch went to his daughter, Ann. In Painted Rock, Wyoming, Caradec found land for a man to love, miles of rolling grasslands and towering mountains. He also found that one of the most ruthless men in the territory had set his sights on both Rodney's ranch and his daughter. But Rafe Caradec had given his word, and once he'd looked deep into Ann Rodney's eyes, nothing short of death would stop him from keeping the promise he'd made.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
In the dank, odorous fo'c'sle a big man with wide shoulders sat at a scarred mess table, his feet spread to brace himself against the roll of the ship. A brass hurricane lantern, its light turned low, swung from a beam overhead, and in the vague light the big man studied a worn and sweat-stained chart.
There was no sound in the fo'c'sle but the distant rustle of the bow wash about the hull, the lazy creak of the square rigger's timbers, a few snores from sleeping men, and the hoarse, rasping breath of a man who was dying in the lower bunk.
The big man who bent over the chart wore a slipover jersey with alternate red and white stripes, a broad leather belt with a brass buckle, and coarse jeans. On his feet were woven leather sandals of soft, much-oiled leather. His hair was shaggy and uncut, but he was clean shaven except for a mustache and burnsides.
The chart he studied showed the coast of northern California. He marked a point on it with the tip of his knife, then checked the time with a heavy gold watch. After a swift calculation, he folded the chart and replaced it in an oilskin packet with other papers and tucked the packet under his jersey, above his belt.
Rising, he stood for an instant, canting to the roll of the ship, staring down at the white-haired man in the lower bunk. There was something about the big man that would make him stand out in any crowd. He was a man born to command, not only because of his splendid physique and the strength of his character, but because of his personality.
He knelt beside the bunk and touched the dying man's wrist. The pulse was feeble. Rafe Caradec crouched there, waiting, watching, thinking.
In a few hours at most, possibly even in a few minutes, this man would die. In the long year at sea his health had broken down under forced labor and constant beatings, and this last one had broken him up internally. When Charles Rodney was dead he, Rafe Caradec, would do what he must.
The ship rolled slightly, and the older man sighed and his lids opened suddenly. For a moment he stared upward into the ill-smelling darkness, then his head turned. He saw the big man crouched beside him and he smiled. His hand fumbled for Rafe's.
"You–you've got the papers? You won't forget?"
"I won't forget."
"You must be careful."
"I know."
"See my wife, Carol. Explain to her that I didn't run away, that I wasn't afraid. Tell her I had the money, and was comin' back. I'm worried about the mortgage I paid. I don't trust Barkow."
The man lay silent, breathing deeply, hoarsely. For the first time in three days he was conscious and aware.
"Take care of 'em, Rafe," he said. "I've got to trust you! You're the only chance I have! Dyin' ain't bad except for them. And to think–a whole year has gone by. Anything may have happened!"
"You'd better rest," Rafe said gently.
"It's late for that. He's done me in this time. Why did this happen to me, Rafe? To us?"
Caradec shrugged his powerful shoulders. "I don't know. No reason, I guess. We were just there at the wrong time. We took a drink we shouldn't have taken."
The old man's voice lowered. "You're goin' to try–tonight?"
Rafe smiled then. "Try? Tonight we're goin' ashore, Rodney. This is our only chance. I'm goin' to see the captain first."
Rodney smiled and lay back, his face a shade whiter, his breathing more gentle.
A year they had been together, a brutal, ugly, awful year of labor, blood, and bitterness. It had begun, that year, one night in San Francisco in Hongkong Bohl's place on the Barbary Coast. Rafe Caradec was just back from Central America with a pocket full of money, his latest revolution cleaned up, the proceeds in his pocket, and some of it in the bank.
The months just past had been jungle months, dripping jungle, fever-ridden and stifling with heat and humidity. It had been a period of raids and battles, but finally it was over, and Rafe had taken his payment in cash and moved on. He had been on the town, making up for lost time–Rafe Caradec, gambler, soldier of fortune, wanderer of the far places.
Somewhere along the route that night he had met Charles Rodney, a sun-browned cattleman who had come to Frisco to raise money for his ranch in Wyoming. They had had a couple of drinks and dropped in at Hongkong Bohl's dive. They'd had a drink there, too, and when they awakened it had been to the slow, long roll of the sea, and the brutal voice of Bully Borger, skipper of the Mary S.
Rafe had cursed himself for a tenderfoot and a fool. To have been shanghaied like any drunken farmer! He had shrugged it off, knowing the uselessness of resistance. After all, it was not his first trip to sea.
Rodney had been wild. He had rushed to the captain and demanded to be put ashore, and Bully Borger had knocked him down and booted him senseless while the mate stood by with a pistol. That had happened twice more until Rodney returned to work almost a cripple, and frantic with worry over his wife and daughter.
As always, the crew had split into cliques. One of these consisted of Rafe, Rodney, Roy Penn, "Rock" Mullaney and "Tex" Brisco. Penn had been a law student and occasional prospector. Mullaney was an able-bodied seaman, hardrock miner, and cowhand. They had been shanghaied in Frisco in the same lot with Rafe and Rodney. Tex Brisco was a Texas cowhand who had been shanghaied from a waterfront dive in Galveston where he had gone to look at the sea.
Finding a friend in Rafe, Rodney had told him the whole story of his coming to Wyoming with his wife and daughter. Of what drought and Indians had done to his herd, and how finally he had mortgaged his ranch to a man named Barkow.
Rustlers had invaded the country and he had lost cattle. Finally reaching the end of his rope, he had gone to San Francisco. Surprisingly, he had met Barkow and some others and paid off the mortgage. A few hours later, wandering into Hongkong Bohl's place which had been recommended to him by Barkow's friends, he had been doped, robbed, and shanghaied.
When the ship returned to Frisco after a year Rodney had demanded to be put ashore, and Borger had laughed at him. Then Charles Rodney had tackled the big man again, and that time the beating had been final. With Rodney dying, the Mary S had finished her loading and slipped out of port so he could be conveniently "lost at sea."
The cattleman's breathing had grown gentler, and Rafe leaned his head on the edge of the bunk, dozing.
Rodney had given him a deed to the ranch, a deed that gave him a half share, the other half belonging to Rodney's wife and daughter. Caradec had promised to save the ranch if he possibly could. Rodney had also given him Barkow's signed receipt for the money.
Rafe's head came up with a jerk. How long he had slept he did not know, yet–he stiffened as he glanced at Charles Rodney. The hoarse, rasping breath was gone, the even, gentle breath was no more. Rodney was dead.
For an instant, Rafe held the old man's wrist, then drew the blanket over Rodney's face. Abruptly then, he got up. A quick glance at his watch told him they had only a few minutes until they would sight Cape Mendocino. Grabbing a small bag of things off the upper bunk, he turned quickly to the companionway.
Two big feet and two hairy ankles were visible on the top step. They moved, and step by step a man came down the ladder. He was a big man, bigger than Rafe, and his small, cruel eyes stared at him, then at Rodney's bunk.
The big man rubbed a fist along his unshaven jowl. He grinned at Rafe.
"I heard him speak aboot the ranch. It could be a nice thing, that. I heerd aboot them ranches. Money in 'em." His eyes brightened with cupidity and cunning. "We share an' share alike, eh?"
"No." Caradec's voice was flat. "The deed is made out to his daughter and me. His wife is to share, also. I aim to keep nothin' for myself."
The big man chuckled hoarsely. "I can see that!" he said. "Josh Briggs is no fool, Caradec! You're intendin' to get it all for yourself. I want mine!" He leaned on the handrail of the ladder. "We can have a nice thing, Caradec. They said there was trouble over there? Huh! I guess we can handle any trouble, an' make some ourselves."
"The Rodneys get it all," Rafe said. "Stand aside. I'm in a hurry."
Briggs' face was ugly. "Don't get high an' mighty with me!" he said roughly. "Unless you split even with me, you don't get away. I know aboot the boat you've got ready. I can stop you there, or here."
Rafe Caradec knew the futility of words. There are some natures to whom only violence is an argument. His left hand shot up suddenly, his stiffened fingers and thumb making a V that caught Briggs where his jawbone joined his throat.
The blow was short, vicious, unexpected. Briggs' head jerked back and Rafe hooked short and hard with his right, then followed through with a smashing elbow that flattened Briggs' nose and showered him with blood.
Rafe dropped his bag, then struck left and right to the body, then left and right to the chin. The last two blows cracked like pistol shots. Josh Briggs hit the foot of the ladder in a heap, rolled over and lay still, his head partly under the table. Rafe picked up his bag and went up the ladder without so much as a backward glance.
On the dark deck Rafe Caradec moved aft along the starb'rd side. A shadow moved out from the mainm'st.
"You ready?"
"Ready, Rock."
Two more men got up from the darkness near the foot of the mast and all four hauled the boat from its place and got it to the side.
"This is the right place?" Penn asked.
"Almost." Caradec straightened. "Get her ready. I'm going to call on the Old Man."
In the darkness he could feel their eyes on him. "You think that's wise?"
"No, but he killed Rodney. I've got to see him."
"You goin' to kill Borger?"
It was like them that they did not doubt he could if he wished. Somehow he had always impressed men so, that what he wanted to accomplish, he would accomplish.
"No, just a good beatin'. He's had it comin' for a long time."
Mullaney spat. He was a stocky, muscular man. "You cussed right he has! I'd like to help."
"No, there'll be no help for either of us. Stand by and watch for the mate."
Penn chuckled. "He's tied up aft, by the wheel."
Rafe Caradec turned and walked forward. His soft leather sandals made no noise on the hardwood deck, nor on the companionway as he descended. He moved like a shadow along the bulkhead, and saw the door of the captain's cabin standing open. He was inside and had taken two steps before the captain looked up.
Bully Borger was big, almost a giant. He had a red beard around his jawbone under his chin. He squinted from cold, gray eyes at Rafe.
"What's wrong?" he demanded. "Trouble on deck?"
"No, Captain," Rafe said shortly, "there's trouble here. I've come to beat you within an inch of your life, Captain. Charles Rodney is dead. You ruined his life, Captain, and then you killed him."
Borger was on his feet, catlike. Somehow he had always known this moment would come. A dozen times he had told himself he should kill Caradec, but the man was a seaman, a first-class, able-bodied seaman, and in the lot of shanghaied crews there were few. So he had delayed.
He lunged at the drawer for his brass knuckles.
Rafe had been waiting for that, poised on the balls of his feet. His left hand dropped to the captain's wrist and his right hand sank to the wrist in the captain's middle. It stopped Borger, that punch did. Stopped him flat-footed for only an instant, but that instant was enough. Rafe's head darted forward, butting the bigger man in the face, and Rafe felt the bones crunch under his hard skull.
Yet the agony gave Borger a burst of strength, and he tore the hand with the knucks loose and got his fingers through their holes. He lunged, swinging a roundhouse blow that would have dropped a bull elephant. Rafe went under the swing, his movements timed perfectly, his actions almost negligent. He smashed left and right to the middle, and the punches drove wind from Borger's stomach and he doubled up, gasping.
Rafe dropped a palm to the back of the man's head and shoved down, hard. At the same instant, his knee came up, smashing Borger's face into a gory pulp.
Bully Borger, the dirtiest fighter on many a waterfront, staggered back, moaning with pain. His face expressionless, Rafe Caradec stepped in and threw punches with both hands, driving, wicked punches that had the power of those broad shoulders behind them, and timed with the rolling of the ship. Left, right, left, right, blows that cut and chopped like meat cleavers. Borger tottered and fell back across the settee.
Rafe wheeled to see Penn's blond head in the doorway. Roy Penn stared at the bloody hulk, then at Rafe.
"Better come on. The Cape's showing off the starb'rd bow."
When they had the boat in the water they slid down the rope one after the other, then Rafe slashed it with his belt knife, and the boat dropped back. The black bulk of the ship swept by them. Her stern lifted, then sank and Rafe, at the tiller, turned the bow of the boat toward the monstrous blackness of the Cape.
Mullaney and Penn got the sail up when the mast was stepped, then Penn looked around at Rafe.
"That was mutiny, you know."
"It was," Rafe said calmly. "I didn't ask to go aboard, and knockout drops in a Barbary Coast dive ain't my way of askin' for a year's job!"
"A year?" Penn swore. "Two years and more, for me. For Tex, too."
"You know this coast?" Mullaney asked.
Rafe nodded. "Not well, but there's a place just north of the Cape where we can run in. To the south the sunken ledges and rocks might tear our bottom out, but I think we can make this other place."
The mountainous headland loomed black against the gray-turning sky of the hours before daybreak. The seaward face of the Cape was rocky and waterworn along the shoreline. Rafe, studying the currents and the rocks, brought the boat neatly in among them and headed for a boulder-strewn gray beach where water curled and left a white ruffle of surf.

I liked this book a lot. To begin with I'll read any book by L'Amour if I have the time ( I usually make the time). Rafe is a mean man with good intent. He tries to save Ann and her land, even though she doesn't listen to him.
This is definately 1 of the top 5 books written by Louis L'amour (and that's saying a lot). I love to read and have read books by many different authors and I think that Louis L'amour is the best author ever. If you like horses, cowboys, survival stories, and western novels, you will love this book. Try it (you'll regret if you don't).
Excellent. Interesting how the way to save the woman¿s property developed.
Master at spinning a good yarn.
The main character name was Rafe. He had been given a deed to half of his friends land when his friend died. There was a problem though because there were people trying to take it from his the widow who owned the other half of the land. Rafe had to help her keep the land and get rid of the people trying to take it. Rafe also had several men with him. This took place in the mid to late 1800s. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read western books. This book was a good book full of adventure, survival, and outdoors things. During the book Rafe had to survive in the west without much to help him and he had to help save land. He went through several event just to help save the land of his dead friends wife.

My children used to play "The Oregon Trail," an early computer game where one navigated the amazingly dangerous wagon trip out west — often dying of dysentery or drowning while crossing a river.
Oregon remains treacherous.
Yesterday, we bemoaned the cancellation of a parade because a Republican Party group's participation elicited threats of violence. Now, we find that writing a thoughtful letter to public officials about problematic traffic lights garners a $500 fine.
Mats Järlström, a Swedish electronics engineer, made the mistake of moving to Beaverton, Oregon, and then compounded his error by sending an email to Oregon's engineering board alerting them to a traffic light problem that put "the public at risk."
The Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying responded by informing him that statute "672.020(1) prohibits the practice of engineering in Oregon without registration . . . at a minimum, your use of the title 'electronics engineer' and the statement 'I'm an engineer' . . . create violations."
Mr. Järlström expressed shock at the bizarre response. "I'm not practicing engineering, I'm just using basic mathematics and physics, Newtonian laws of motion, to make calculations and talk about what I found."
After a red-light camera ticketed his wife, Järlström investigated and discovered that the yellow light didn't give drivers slowing down to turn at the intersection enough time.
He wasn't disputing the ticket, just attempting to right a wrong. Which is apparently against the law, when bureaucrats are committing the wrong.
The Institute for Justice accuses the licensing board of "trying to suppress speech." Thankfully, they're helping Järlström sue in federal court.
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

The Wife and I went over to our friends' house yesterday for burgers and cocktails. Our friends have kind of different ways of approaching the preparation of food and drink than I do.
None of this is to say that our friends do things wrong. They just do them differently. Quite a bit differently.
I use the materials at hand, guesstimate portions and spices. I dig in with my bare hands and knead raw ground beef, and prefer to use lots of fire for my meat. I kind of like the carbony taste of those burnt ends of meat that form on the bottom of the burger. So I need a propane barbeque -- it gets hotter faster and spreads the flame out more. A charcoal barbeque, with the briquettes arranged in a geometrically perfect pyramid, is simply not the same thing as the raging fires of petroleum gas savagely mating with its self-destructive girlfriend, fire. Even if the briquettes are already heated to an appropriately ashen amber glow of the coals reaching the perfect temperature gradient.
If I must use charcoal, I dump three-quarters of the briquettes in, let them fall out where they may, enjoy liberal use of lighter fluid, and create a heat source powerful enough to fire ceramics. Now you're talking.
So too with cocktails. Our friends possess every kind of liquor known to man. They have a cocktail book with recipes for a huge variety of cocktails and they buy the really obscure liqueurs and take great pleasure in measuring out exact-to-the-mililiter levels of the shot glasses and contents. Only fresh fruits and the exact booze called for in the bartender's guidebook will do. Do not stir when the recipe calls for a shake.
Me, I have some difficulty tasting the difference between the forty-seven different kinds of clear anise-flavored liqueurs imported from the Mediterranean countries of Europe. If the book calls for Sambucca and all I have is Ouzo, you know what, that's pretty damn close. Yes, I know Sambucca and Ouzo are not the same thing. I know Campari is red and Galleano is yellow. But if you close your eyes, could you really taste the difference? So when it's time to make drinks, I'll gather the materials at hand and do the best I can. No vermouth around? Okay, that means no martinis, but we'll find something!
Example: I wanted a drink tonight, and The Wife said she'd enjoy one, too, and that confined my spectrum to something sweet. Okay, we've got about a glassful of pomegranate juice, so we can use that as a base. What mixes with a strong fruit juice? Vodka, of course. But vodka and pom juice isn't very interesting. And kind of heavy. So let's lighten it up with some 7-Up. And to finish off the fruit cocktail with some orange taste, so I floated some Grand Mariner on it. The result was a cold, sweet, pink thing with enough kick to get the job done and still sweet enough to allow The Wife to enjoy it.
It's sweet and fruity. Maybe I should call it the "Elton John." No, no, I'm just kidding, Sir Elton. All in good fun, right, Gov'ner? Now, the Sweet-and-Fruity Drink With No Name may or may not be found in my friend's bartender's guidebook. But it's getting the job done and leaving me a little loopy. In case you couldn't tell.
I'm not suggesting that our friends couldn't improvise. That's just not the style they've adopted these days. And they play poker and enjoy good food, so vive l'difference! It's fun to hang out with them.

And the goodness from Benefit just keeps coming! I think Benefit got a bit sleepy for a while but boy, they've woken up now! I love these kits – what's not to love actually? – they're tidy, well thought through and immediately usable with mini size products that you might not want to commit to at full size, but in kit form you'll certainly be able to weed out the things you don't really use and put your money on the things that you do.
Here's Bronze of Champions!
Inside, you'll find Longwear Powder Shadow in Thanks A Latte, Creaseless Cream Shadow in Bikini Tini, Hoola Bronzing Powder, Watt's Up Highlighter, They're Real Mascara and Ultra Plush Lipgloss in Hoola.
Here's retro-looking Do The Bright Thing.
Inside Do The Bright Thing: That Gal Face Primer, Dandelion Brightening Face Powder, They're Real Mascara, High Beam Complexion Enhancer and BADgal Waterproof Liner.
And, the last one, Primping With The Stars!
This is definitely my favourite. Inside you'll find Stay Don't Stray, The POREfessional, Some Kinda Gorgeous in Medium, Benetint, Girl Meets Pearl and They're Real Mascara. If this little lot doesn't get you glowing, I'm not sure what will!
Benefit Kits are officially 'a thing'… they're becoming pretty much like aps.. as in 'there's an ap for that', pretty soon, there will be a 'kit for that'. These launch on 18th May for £26.50 each.
*all products are sent to me as samples from brands and agencies unless otherwise stated. Affiliate links may be used. Posts are not affiliate driven.

Plan your deployment
Limitations and caveats
Session Recording does not support Desktop Composition Redirection (DCR) display mode. By default, Session Recording disables DCR in a session if the session is to be recorded by recording policy. You can configure this behavior in Session Recording Agent properties.
Depending upon your environment, you can deploy the Session Recording components in different scenarios.
A Session Recording deployment does not have to be limited to a single site. With the exception of the Session Recording Agent, all components are independent of the server site. For example, you can configure multiple sites to use a single Session Recording Server.
Alternatively, if you have a large site with many agents and plan to record many graphically intense applications (for example, AutoCAD applications), or you have many sessions to record, a Session Recording Server can experience a high performance demand. To alleviate performance issues, you can install multiple Session Recording Servers on different computers and point the Session Recording Agents to the different computers. Keep in mind that an agent can point to only one server at a time.
Suggested server site deployment
Use this type of deployment for recording sessions for one or more sites. The Session Recording Agent is installed on each VDA for Server OS in a site. The site resides in a data center behind a security firewall. The Session Recording Administration components (Session Recording Database, Session Recording Server, and Session Recording Policy Console) are installed on other servers and the Session Recording Player is installed on a workstation, all behind the firewall but not in the data center. Outside the firewall, in an unsecured network environment, are XenApp clients, such as a workstation, mobile devices, and a laptop computer.
Important deployment notes
- To enable Session Recording components to communicate with each other, ensure that you install them in the same domain or across trusted domains that have a transitive trust relationship. The system cannot be installed into a workgroup or across domains that have an external trust relationship.
- Due to its intense graphical nature and memory usage when playing back large recordings, Citrix does not recommend installing the Session Recording Player as a published application.
- The Session Recording installation is configured for TLS/HTTPS communication. Ensure that you install a certificate on the Session Recording Server and that the root certificate authority (CA) is trusted on the Session Recording components.
- If you install the Session Recording Database on a standalone server running SQL Server 2016 Express Edition, SQL Server 2014 Express Edition, SQL Server 2012 Express Edition, or SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition, the server must have TCP/IP protocol enabled and SQL Server Browser service running. These settings are disabled by default, but they must be enabled for the Session Recording Server to communicate with the database. For information about enabling these settings, see the Microsoft articles Enable TCP/IP Network Protocol for SQL Server and SQL Server Browser Service.
- Consider the effects of session sharing when planning your Session Recording deployment. Session sharing for published applications can conflict with Session Recording policy rules for published applications. Session Recording matches the active policy with the first published application that a user opens. After the user opens the first application, any subsequent applications opened during the same session continue to follow the policy that is in force for the first application. For example, if a policy states that only Microsoft Outlook should be recorded, the recording commences when the user opens Outlook. However, if the user opens a published Microsoft Word second (while Outlook is running), Word also is recorded. Conversely, if the active policy does not specify that Word should be recorded, and the user launches Word before Outlook (which should be recorded, according to the policy), Outlook is not recorded.
- Though you can install the Session Recording Server on a Delivery Controller, Citrix does not recommend you do so because of performance issues.
- You can install the Session Recording Policy console on a Delivery Controller.
- You can install both the Session Recording Server and Session Recording Policy console on the same system.
- Ensure that the NetBIOS name of the Session Recording Server does not exceed the limit of 15 characters (Microsoft has a 15-character limit on the hostname length).
- PowerShell 5.1 or later is required for custom event logging. Upgrade PowerShell if you install the Session Recording Agent on Windows Server 2012 R2 that has PowerShell 4.0 installed. Failure to comply can cause failed API calls.

Sterling Silver
Inspired by the crooked paths the warrior Queen Majaji once travelled, the Warrior Studs can be worn across the ear lobe, or hanging vertically. Wear paired with a statement earring, accompanying stud or as a delicate stand alone piece.
The metal of the Moon and having been long revered since antiquity, silver is reflective and used to mirror the soul, bringing calm and balance to its wearer. Used by ancient civilizations in lunar ceremonies to harness the energy of the Moon and protect from negativity, it is the metal of emotions, love and healing. Natural and pure in its form, our silver is never rhodium plated and thus develops its own unique personality as it ages – a speckled patina of grey, golden or black-brown enhances its individual nature - though a simple polish quickly restores brilliant shine.

By Pat Grubb
Beginning next month, residents and visitors can expect traffic control delays, lower speed limits and loose rocks on roadways as the county road department applies what they call an asphaltic emulsion on the majority of roads in Point Roberts. Asphaltic emulsion, or chip seal, as locals say, will be applied on 23 miles of the Point's 37 miles of public roads.
Major roads that are scheduled to be chip-sealed include Tyee Drive, Gulf Road, APA Road, Johnson Road, Benson Road, Marine Drive, Simundson Drive and South Beach Road. Work is scheduled to begin in May when asphalt trucks will be laying a thin layer of asphalt on four miles of selected roads while the chip-sealing will take place from June through late July.
Roads that have shoulders such as Tyee Drive, Gulf Road and others will have the chip-sealing only in the traffic lane, leaving the shoulders smooth for pedestrians and cyclists. Roads without paved shoulders will be chip-sealed entirely; any dirt shoulders will not be covered, according to Joe Rutan of Whatcom County public works department. That would be considered new construction, he said, and would be considered a capital works project that would trigger new regulations involving drainage and other issues.
Users of wheeled modes of transportation should expect loose rocks for about two weeks after the application of the chip-seal. Cyclists and motorcyclists, in particular, should be cautious while navigating the Point during this period to avoid wiping out while cornering.
Asked why pure pavement roads such as Gulf Road, Tyee Drive and parts of Marine Drive, APA Road and Simundson Drive needed to be covered with chip-seal as opposed to straight asphalt, Rutan said that's the way the county maintains its roads. "We're a rural county and that's the way we do it."
In 2004, however, Rutan said the county "upgraded" a number of roads from chip-sealed to asphalt when much of Maple Beach, South Beach Road, Edwards, Marina and Harbor Seal drives were overlaid with asphalt, among others.
A list of roads to be chipsealed is included below.

Finding connections in a city the size of London can be tough. With a population of over 8 million, it doesn't feel like we're alone much. We're constantly accidentally (usually) elbowing each other as we tussle for space on the underground, hanging out in busy pubs and restaurants, and seeing the same people every day at work.
But occupying the same space as lots of people isn't the same as interacting with them, and according to studies including Time Out's City Index Survey, London can be a pretty lonely place to be. Loneliness among older people has been well documented for a long time, but in the past few years it's become more common among 16 to 24 year olds.
Why London can be a lonely city
There are lots of factors contributing to a sense of loneliness in the city. Unemployment is a big factor, and around 29% of Londoners say they've met most their current friends through work. Being new to London can be challenging and overwhelming too, even more so if you're living alone or renting a place with no real communal areas. Others stay home a lot because of home-working, child care, caring responsibilities and health reasons. Its a recurring theme on the r/London reddit too, which is a community with over 160,000 people.
Loneliness is a big enough issue that local authorities and even the Prime Minister are taking it more seriously as a public health concern, not just in London but across the UK. Rightly so, research suggests loneliness can negatively impact mental and physical health—it can be as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day (Campaign to End Loneliness, 2016).
City-wide projects and groups in London
While the stats seem bleak, the outlook doesn't have to be. More and more groups are taking positive action, bringing Londoners together across different generations and backgrounds.
Recommended London Accommodation
From local borough councils and city-wide collectives to more grassroots neighbourhood projects: people are working hard to makes London less lonely. Of course, there is a lot of hard graft involved, but there's also a lot of fun to be had by bringing people together across the city.
A multi-national construction company and non-profit action group might not be an obvious partnership, but in October 2018 Lendlease and Collectively launched The Loneliness Lab.
It's one of the bigger initiatives in the city, created as an 18-month-long project involving artists, NGOs, designers, community groups and local authorities with pilot projects being developed across London in 2019. One of the core ideas is to re-think and redesign place and space to encourage communal experience.
So far, ideas trialled have included transforming a declining market into a 'Public Lounge' and handing out free craft kits on public transport to encourage interaction in what is arguably London's least-sociable shared space.
You can connect people with lots of small changes, or with one simple idea. For the charity FoodCycle, it's all about bringing people together to cook eat and chat. It's been running across the UK as well as several London boroughs since 2009. Volunteers cook meals made from ingredients which would otherwise go to waste. In the past ten years, they've served 1 million meals to their guests.
"We started because we thought that it didn't make any sense that so much perfectly good food is being thrown away every day, yet people are going hungry or feeling isolated—when they could be sitting down and sharing a healthy free meal with each other, and meeting new people. I love what we have achieved and are achieving—by using food waste, we bring people together feeding bellies not bins, but also impacting on loneliness and growing real friendships amongst our guests." explains Sophie Tebbits, Head of Programmes.
FoodCycle has four main aims: to strengthen communities by facilitating healthy, shared meals; tackling loneliness by creating inclusive spaces; reducing hunger and poor nutrition; and shifting attitudes toward food waste.
According to Sophie, FoodCycle surveys shows joining the meals has a positive effect on guests and volunteers alike. "From our guests surveys we know that 71% of our guests feel lonely, however after coming to a FoodCycle meal 77% of our guests state that they have made new friends and 79% feel more part of their local community, which is something we are very proud of. And it's not just our guests who benefit, 83% of our volunteers told us that volunteering was a good place to meet new people and make friends."
Volunteering, in general, is a good way to combat loneliness, as suggested by Mind and other organisations. Not sure where to start? The Team London website lets you filter by interest/borough/skillset/etc. covering anything from driving, to tutoring, skill sharing, mentoring and a whole lot more. If you don't have tonnes of spare time or can't make a long-term commitment then there's always speed mentoring.
From URL to IRL: taking connections offline
Although we're all collectively hiding behind screens more, technology can still work to combat isolation. There are several Meetup groups set up to help Londoners meet each other. Students at 23 Code Street decided to use their coding skills to help older and younger generations of Londoners to connect IRL. For their graduation project, Tiah Harrison and her fellow students developed an app called Generation Meet. At the time of their course, winter was on the way, when people naturally stay in more, so they decided to make something to address isolation.
"One of the problems was trying to tie down who should be the target audience. It's more widely known that the elderly experience loneliness, but they aren't the only ones. We didn't want to just tailor the website to the elderly, but to anyone who felt loneliness. However, trying to tailor a website and make it accessible for all is difficult. It was trying to make the website attractive to everyone, but accessible at the same time." Tiah Harrison, Generation Meet.
It's early days, but in its current iteration, Generation Meet connects users with telephone and face-to-face befriending services where times are scheduled for an older person and their volunteer befriendee to talk or meet up and is user-testing for its meet-up data, where users tap in their postcode to find events on in their local area. That could be anything from knitting and wine tasting to gardening. The data the user punches in finds local meetups in their area.
Local community projects
Some projects are borough or neighbourhood focused. In east London, Everyone, Everyday is a network of hundreds of people in the Barking and Dagenham area working on different projects. It runs three pop-up shops. But they don't sell things. Instead, they're geared towards practical and useful activities from money-saving tips and skills sharing to informal creche (where parents take turns to look after the children) and collaborative business working.
Bridging the old north vs south London rivalry is North London Cares and South London Cares registered charity that not only shows that there are nice people on both sides of the river (of course there are!). The Cares community networks connect older and younger generations through social clubs involving anything from dancing to podcasting and games nights, as well as befriending and local outreach schemes.
In west London, Action West London is a registered charity and social enterprise focused on some of the root causes of loneliness. Its key objectives are to help people with securing employment, education and self-employment/business opportunities.
How to start your own community group
If there isn't a project or group in your area, and you want to get one going, start by taking a look at the results and insights of existing organisations.
The Participatory City Foundation (who worked in partnership with Barking and Dagenham to launch Everyone, Everyday) outlined a set of common principles for a successful community project. They include:
- No or low cost with a low time commitment
- Simple and straightforward
- Many opportunities with a wide variety
- Create an inclusive culture
- 100% open—no stigma
FoodCycle are also always on the lookout for new opportunities, and new areas to expand to. In the meantime, Sophie Tebbits advises asking the community what they would like in the first instance, then get as many different people involved as possible to generate ideas and be open to feedback.
Whether it's leading or joining a community project, offering our time and skills, or chewing the fat over a hot meal, most of us Londoners are just trying to find common ground, and there's plenty of it about.

This picture book is for young and old alike: it shines a light on forgotten, local heroes in our midst. Like Rosa Pryor, who in 1919, became the first black woman to own a business in Vancouver. This title features Rosa and other strong women who dared to demand better – better working conditions, access to education and health care. Women who dared to make learning a priority by creating an "hour-a-day" study club which allowed women to make themselves the priority for at least one hour each day. The author of this book, Naomi M. Moyer, has done a great job of compiling a collection of notable women and sharing their amazing feats of bravery, tenacity, and creativity. (Submitted by Andrea)

An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
"Until Death Do Us Part" or… until jail sets us apart – that's a focal point of this well written, discussion-stirring novel by Tayari Jones. Celestial and Roy are a married couple, just one year into their love-filled relationship, doing well financially, planning for a child – when something unexpected happens and overturns their lives, sending Roy to prison for 12 years. Now, Celestial is at the cross roads and it seems like no matter what she chooses there is no joyful solution for either her or Roy. The first half of the book just zoomed by me; it was easy flowing and intriguing. The second half did slow down a bit, but it was still very good. The book touches on multiple subject matters including: racism, injustice, love & friendship, obligations, search for happiness. A good book for a book club discussion – evokes various feelings and opinions. (Submitted by Mariya)
Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult
While I think you are either a Jodi Picoult fan or you definitely aren't, I still recommend her latest novel. What draws me to all of her books is the character development and honesty she can relay to make the reader feel like they know the true thoughts and intentions of all the characters. This novel deals with race issues. And, I know, there's a lot out there right now, but I guarantee you, you haven't read one like this. A competent labour and delivery nurse faces racial prejudices when an extremist couple refuses to allow her to care for their child; nurse gets put in a situation that she is the only medical staff available when the couple's child is dying. Queue an unlawful firing and a court case, but the details and reactions are far from cookie cutter plots! This book challenged my own thoughts about race, and I thought I knew where I stood!

This book is available for borrowing in multiple formats; take your pick!
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
This book was written as a letter from a father to his 15-year-old son about what it means to have a black body and be a black boy/man in America. It was awesome with great writing. I connected to this in a couple of big ways: I am the same age bracket as the author and his language around "the Dream" really hit home for me….I loved it! (Submitted by JF).

On Tuesday, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing on the decisions and steps that led to widespread lead contamination in the water in Flint, Michigan. But Flint residents who were in the room expressed extreme disappointment at what they heard.
Congress is still stalled on an aid package to help Flint recover from the water crisis. The legislation is currently being held up in the Senate. Meanwhile, members invited witnesses to testify on the crisis this week.
Tuesday's hearing included Darnell Earley, who was the state-appointed emergency manager for Flint when the city's water was switched from Detroit to the Flint River without the use of corrosion controls; Dayne Walling, the city's mayor during the same time period; Susan Hedman, who was the administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency region covering the city at the time; and Marc Edwards, the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University professor whose testing and research first exposed the extent of the crisis.
None of the three witnesses who were in positions of authority when lead began leaching into drinking water admitted any responsibility. In his remarks, Earley said he has been "unjustly persecuted, vilified, and smeared — both personally and professionally" by allegations that he was involved in the decision to use Flint River water without protective chemicals. "It was not my decision to use the Flint River when the switch was made in April 2014," he claimed.
Walling, for his part, testified in nearly direct contradiction of Earley's testimony, saying, "I was not involved in any of these discussions about switching to the river." He also denied that the city council made the decision either. "The truth of the matter was: the emergency managers and the state decided to switch Flint to the river," he said.
I was hoping that people would be taking more responsibility
And while some members of Congress sought to lay much of the blame with the EPA and "big government," as Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) put it, Hedman steadfastly denied that the agency was at fault or had done anything wrong, only saying she wished it had done more.
None of this was enough for Desiree Duell and her son, Flint residents who were in attendance at the hearing on Tuesday. She had been hoping to hear government leaders acknowledge their roles in the crisis. "I was hoping that people would be taking more responsibility," she told ThinkProgress.
That's not what she heard. "To me it just sounded like a lot of people protecting themselves and their own interests — a lot of finger pointing, a lot of blame, but not a lot of concern for the residents of Flint," she said. "This is more than someone's career, because there are lives that are stake, and that's what didn't get across today."
She has experienced the fallout of the water contamination crisis firsthand. She says she got an upper respiratory infection in the fall of 2014 that "wouldn't go away." At one point things got so bad that her ear started bleeding when she got out of the shower. "Even to this day there's still blood coming out of my ears," she said. "My hearing has changed."
Meanwhile, her son has gotten rashes on his skin from the water, plus she's dealing the property damage from her corroded pipes. Her family now only uses bottled water out of fear of what even filtered water could do to their health and she has her son shower at the house of a relative who lives outside of the city. "My whole way of life, from brushing my teeth to cooking to the way I get water, has completely changed," she said.
She feels that no one can escape scrutiny unscathed. "There should be blame across the board," she said. "This is just a complete failure of government all the way around."
This is more than someone's career, because there are lives that are stake
"When it comes down to it, if you are truly, genuinely trying to help the people of Flint, it's time to come super clean, be super transparent and accountable to your actions, and that just didn't happen today," she said.
For his part, Early said the city council voted in 2013 to use Flint River water. He also said he was told by water treatment experts that the water was safe and "corrosion of pipes and lead leaching were never issues raised during my tenure as EM," which lasted from October 2013 to January 2015. Instead, he said he was only aware of needing to take actions to treat bacteria in the water and claimed to have been "grossly misled" by EPA experts and those at the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and that he was "at the mercy of their scientific and regulatory analysis."
"Flint's crisis is not rooted in a failure of leadership, but rather resulted from improper treatment of the water — an issue which fell squarely to MDEQ and EPA," he said. "While I may share some leadership responsibility by virtue of my role as an EM, this was not a leadership issue — this is purely a water treatment issue."
Walling pointed the finger at former Emergency Manager Ed Kurtz for the decision to use Flint River water. "These same decisions would not have been made by city council," he said. He claimed to have raised concerns about river pollution internally and also told the committee that he raised issues in a letter sent directly to the governor in January of 2015. "I wasn't seeing enough being done by the emergency managers in Flint to address this problem," he said. "I believed this needed to go directly to the governor."
Earley's testimony at the hearing was notable given that he originally declined an invitation to testify, leading to Congress subpoenaing him. The hearings will resume on Thursday, when Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy will testify. Republicans had at first declined to bring Snyder in front of the committee for testimony.
Duell is hoping she'll get more from those testimonies. "I hope that people become super transparent," she said. "I hope that Governor Snyder on Thursday really comes clean about what he knows, and I think that he should ultimately resign."

The Sultanate of Oman has been planting hundreds of thousands of mangrove seedlings over the past 17 years.
Historical and archaeological evidence indicates that dense mangrove woodlands covered much of Oman's coastline and islands in ancient times. Now efforts to restore the natural mangrove habitat are beginning to bear fruit: Once again they are providing camel fodder, mangrove timber, cleaner air, more productive fishing grounds, resistance to salinity, and protection against tidal storms.
Since 2000 the government has been working with the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to plant seedlings in seven of the country's 11 governorates.
"This is a pioneering activity that can inspire the development of a region-wide strategy for the management of marine and coastal ecosystems, and its future implementation," says Kanako Hasegawa, a UN Environment ecosystems expert.
The Regional Organization for the Protection of the Marine Environment (ROPME – members are Bahrain, The Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates), JICA and UN Environment are working together to support member states on the strategy.
Molluscs, crabs and a great variety of fish abound in the numerous Omani creeks, channels, and mudflats associated with this habitat. They shelter among the mangrove roots and feed on leaf detritus.
"Over the years people have become more aware of the value and importance of mangrove ecosystems, and have increasingly participated in mangrove seedling plantation efforts."
The government has been protecting existing mangroves, and organizing, coordinating and implementing the planting of seedlings, and conducting awareness-raising campaigns across the country. Re-seeding mangroves in Oman is an uphill task: when the transplantation site is properly selected, 70 per cent to 80 per cent of the seedlings planted mature into trees. Seedlings take five years to grow into trees and start the natural germination process.
"Our priority is to conserve existing forests, and expand them by replanting seedlings," says Aziza Saud Al Adhubi, an environmental planner in the Marine Environment Conservation Department within the Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs.
The aim of the ambitious long-term project is to plant about 1 million mangrove seedlings. Roughly 700,000 seedlings have been planted so far.
Who will benefit?
Local communities up and down the coast will benefit as they gradually get back the healthy ecosystems they had lost over past decades. Mangroves are breeding grounds for many fish species and other fauna, and also soak up carbon dioxide, thus contributing to mitigating the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. They protect the shore from coastal erosion. Mangrove boardwalks can also be a tourist attraction, bringing in additional income to locals.
"Over the years people have become more aware of the value and importance of mangrove ecosystems, and have increasingly participated in mangrove seedling plantation efforts," says Aziza Saud Al Adhubi.
The Qurm Reserve near the capital Muscat ("the lungs of Muscat", according to locals) is a nursery ground for juveniles of many commercial fish species, including mullet, milkfish, croakers, snappers, cragnids and seabream, according to government scientists. It was declared a Ramsar wetland site of international importance in 2013, and is being promoted as an ecotourism destination.
The Sultanate of Oman joined UN Environment's Clean Seas Campaign in November. It's the second Arab country to do so, after Jordan. The Government is planning a series of beach clean-ups in support of the campaign.

Aadhaar Database Safe Verification Process Was Misused, As the Center grows the rundown of taxpayer supported organizations that would oblige recipients to have an Aadhaar number, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) on Tuesday demanded that its biometrics database of a billion people was sheltered.
Aadhaar Database Safe Verification Process Was Misused
The consolation comes against the background of the expert suspending Aadhaar confirmation administrations of Axis Bank after a business reporter sent countless solicitations to the UIDAI; for each situation the unique mark was precisely the case.
While UIDAI says the expert is yet to get the test report, an authority said this demonstrated at the likelihood that somebody was sending a put away form of the unique mark. The unordinary action was hailed by the UIDAI's security framework and a grumbling enrolled with Delhi Police's digital cell for break of its controls, a UIDAI official said.
Aside from Axis bank, the protestation had likewise named its business reporter Suvidhaa Infoserve and e-sign supplier eMudhra, which has denied that it spared any biometrics.
The Aadhaar law does not permit anybody to store biometrics taken by anybody for confirmation by UIDAI, or send a put away form.
A top UIDAI official said this was an example of abuse of Aadhaar verification by a private gathering, not a rupture. "There hasn't been a rupture of any biometric information… which is not shared anyone under any conditions," the authority stated, indicating that was banned from sharing the information under the law sanctioned parliament.
The 2016 law additionally engaged the legislature to rundown taxpayer supported organizations that can be given to individuals on the off chance that they have an Aadhaar number, or have enlisted for one. In the course of the most recent couple of weeks, the legislature has commanded that individuals who deliver the number for getting sponsored apportions, grant for understudies or advantages at Anganwadi, the administration subsidized youngster care and mother-mind program.
Since September 2010 when the primary Aadhaar number was issued to a lady in Maharashtra's Nandurbag locale, UIDAI has issued the 12-digit character number – that is vital to the administration's pushed on cashless exchanges and direct advantage exchange programs – to 112 crore individuals. The expert has so far confirmed 490 crore exchanges, a normal of four exchanges for each number issued.
