CPP EXAM: The CPP Exam will begin at 2:00 pm at Cashman Nursery at 2055 Springhill Road, Bozeman, MT. Registration is due by August 22. You may register on-line at www.plantingmontana.com.
HACKERS & PRUNERS GOLF TOURNAMENT: Golfers join us at 2:00 pm at Bridger Creek Golf Course at 2710 McIlhattan Rd, Bozeman, MT. Join us for a fun 9-hole tournament. No previous golf experience required to participate!
DINNER: Cashman Nursery - Join us at Cashman Nursery, 2055 Springhill Road, Bozeman, MT, at 5pm for dinner to kick off the Fall Tour. You will enjoy a walking tour of this beautiful nursery, at their present site since1975 operated by Jan and Jerry Cashman and their sons Joe and Mike. Also visit vendor booths and equipment demonstrations set up at the nursery.
When & Where: The 2019 Fall Tour will take place in Bozeman on Friday, September 13,2019.
Bus transportation will be available at the C'Mon Inn in Bozeman at 7:15 am.
Tour Sites will include:
Rural Naturalization: This home has some great views of Bozeman and the Bridger Mountains. A dated landscape was refreshed with defined perennial beds, refreshed shrubs and ornamental grasses, specimen trees, and a vast native meadow perimeter to reduce an expanse of lawn and soften the transition to the agricultural fields.
Open year-round, the Garden Barn is the perfect destination for gardening enthusiasts. Fall in love with their wide selection of house plants, bedding plants, custom pottery, metal art, garden statues and more. They are a whimsical gardening wonderland in Bozeman, MT. Owner, Josh Pecukonis, earned his Certified Plant Professional designation in 2013 while attending MSU. He is also a 2015 MNLA scholarship winner. In his scholarship application he stated his life goal was to open a greenhouse nursery where he could sell annuals, vegetables, herbs, cut and dried flowers, and perennials. He has achieved that goal and we are pleased to showcase his business on this tour.
A Modernized Family Farm: This multi-generational home is owned by a passionate gardener and it shows. The house received a thorough industrial modern renovation and the renovation of the front gardens followed suit while blending back to the natural surroundings. A wildflower meadow replaced the vast front lawn, topography was introduced and celebrated, raised steel connects the architecture to the landscape, boulders and stone pull the natural environment in close, depth and scale are profound, and the plant palette is a bit edgy.
Montana State University – We will enjoy lunch at the Rendezvous Dining Hall followed by a campus tour by E. J. Hook.
The Delaney homeis a property on Wilson Street in downtown Bozeman. The project was started in 2006 when the 1900's era home was remodeled and expanded. The property encompasses ½ a city block and includes a European influenced formal garden with reflecting pool as well as a recently completed solarium which will be landscaped this summer.
The Cannery District - In 1912, the Gallatin Valley was known as the "pea capital of the nation," producing 75% of the nation's crop. The Bozeman Canning Company was founded in 1917 and opened in the summer of 1918, canning peas, beans, and carrots. Development in Bozeman's revitalized "Cannery District" began about 10 years ago, turning the old pea canning facility into what is now a hub for local businesses. The Cannery is a unique commercial landscape with an emphasis on diverse plantings. The tour will visit bioswales, native grass and wildflower seedings, and areas planted with seasonal displays of perennials and ornamental grasses.
Vance – What started as an attempt at "Hugel" gardening has turned into a hidden gem. Several years of dedicated work and a great love of fardening by the owner has turned this into a eautiful place. Almost an acre of space has been fully used to create this eden. There is an in ground greenhouse with amenities, a small pond, and many paths to wander. Come and learn just what it has takeen to build this project.
Story Mill Community Park - This community minded project has been an honor for Greater Gallatin Landscape Contractors to work on. With all the amenities it has to offer such as state of the art playgrounds, a food forest, a learning by community garden, an amphitheater and a labyrinth; we are sure that generations to come with be able to enjoy the hard work so many contributed to make this park what it is.
Gardening Under the Big Sky –Jennifer and Jack Weiss: 26 years ago I stood next to my husband and made a promise. For a while I was able to keep that promise, but then I was lured into something I couldn't stop. It was an addiction. I started out quietly, sneaking when he wasn't home, hiding the evidence, but it was soon noticeable that the lawn was growing in size and there were more and more trees to mow around. Flower beds sprang out of nowhere. Soon we had a veritable park and had to get a bigger riding mower. Come and enjoy our oasis. Stroll around and rest a spell on one of our many benches that offer views of the whole valley. Feed the chickens and say hello to George, our guinea fowl. Check out our brand new deer fence that covers the whole 20 acres. We look forward to seeing you! (just please don't ask my husband how much time he spends mowing and trimming)
HOTEL: Contact the C'mon Inn of Bozeman located at 6139 E. Valley Center Rd (off the 19th Street Exit) by calling 406-587-3555. Ask for the MNLA Fall Tour room block. Must register by August 30.

Al Nujoom Islands' reclamation works are completed and breakwaters, which form the outline of the floating islands, have been put in place.
The first phase of this waterfront development, the largest of its kind in the emirate, began two years ago and is now nearing completion, with 95 per cent digging for the project's water canals concluded.
Sheik Abdullah bin Fahid Al Shakrah Chairman of Al Hanoo Holding, said: "Our vision for Al Nujoom Islands is that it will play a key role in sustaining the environment, becoming the perfect setting for marine creatures. Since the very beginning of the project, marine life started to gather at the site, and as the work progresses, the number of marine animals continues to increase. Vast numbers of birds, specifically flamingos, have flocked to the islands.
"The existence and proliferation of animals in a place is proof that the environment is sound and healthy. We want to develop projects that support animal life, without any present or future consequences to the environment," said Al Shakrah.
Al Hanoo Holding recently finished linking the islands with a Geographic Information System (GIS), using more than 2.5 million tonnes of rock to line the banks of the water canals of the project in Sharjah.
Reclamation works on the development is also complete, and Al Hanoo is preparing to implement the final touches to phase one before commencing with phase two, which will take more than two and a half years. All development works are expected to be complete by 2010.
Al Nujoom Islands consists of 10 islands surrounded by 35km of water. The islands' water canals extend to between 100 and 400m.

Gall wasps have become a significant problem in Baton Rouge.
As I continue to think about the master plan for the acreage in Clinton, trees have come into big focus for me because they would constitute, in addition to the hardscape, a part of the plan that would be difficult—or at least expensive—to undo. I could misjudge on any number of counts: size, soil requirements, location, and now, zone creep (wherein all the climate zones in North America are creeping northward. The trees, apparently, haven't bothered consulting politicians about the veracity of global warming; they've just started packing up and following the cold).
I decided to fill in the redwood-sized gaps of my knowledge by attending the most recent Plant Smart workshop produced by Baton Rouge Green. Presenting that Saturday at Hilltop Arboretum were arborist Scott Courtright, who talked about gall wasps (on which this article will focus) and preparing trees for storm season, and horticulturalist Marc Pastorak who spoke about his work with prairie plants and meadows (fascinating work to discuss another time).
Honestly, I debated whether it was worth my time to attend the talk because why in the heck would I need to know about tree pests and storm preparation? How would that possibly help me design my award-winning landscape? I can hear you more seasoned naturalists tsk tsk-ing. Don't judge; this is my journey to enlightenment. And enlightened I was.
First, take a look at the photo that accompanies this article. What do you see when you look at these specimens? Some attractive, mottled orange-yellow fruits? Delicate, star-shaped seed pods? Those were my guesses. Actually, they are the oozing, defensive excretions of a tree that is trying to protect itself from an egg (which will grow to a larvae and feed on the protective excretion) that has been injected into its bark by some parasite—in this case a gall wasp, also called a gallfly, member of genus Andricus. (There are any number of parasites that produce any number of gall types; research it on the Internet to see the variety.)
Both of these specimens were picked up by Courtright in neighborhoods around Baton Rouge. He explained that he rarely saw evidence of gall wasps in the city ten or fifteen years ago; now he sees them all the time and considers it a "drastic problem."
These infestations stunt the growth of the tree. The eggs are injected into buds, which under normal conditions, would become one of three things: a new stem, a new leaf, or a seed-producing fruit. But once an egg is injected into the bud, the bud is destroyed, hampering the tree's efforts at growth, thinning the canopy, and causing the tree to draw on the nutrient reserves stored in its trunk.
That this is occurring in the city and isn't so much a problem in my rural neck of the woods (according to my husband, anyway, who is much more aware of the health of our trees than I am) can, at least partially, be attributed to the fact that the wasps are attacking stressed-out trees whose most ideal environment is not the concrete-encrusted, crowded, nutrient-sparse environs of urbanity. Like the very young and very old of our species, who more easily fall victim to parasites, urban trees are at much greater risk than their rural brethren.
Here is what the LSU AgCenter has to say on its website about controlling this problem:
Chemical control in the gall stage is not effective. To properly time spray applications, collect some of the galls and store in plastic bags outside in the shade. When the wasps emerge, it is time to spray. Wasps that develop from galls on hardened twigs will not emerge until winter. Many wasps from galls [that form on] leaves and succulent stems (new growth) emerge in late spring or early summer. Galls may be physically removed from small trees and destroyed.
Here are some other highlights from the talk:
• mycorrhizae (a fungus) applications are great for your trees (roses are particularly reliant on mycorrhizae, by the way)
• formosan termites attack living plant tissue, bad for trees
• Other pests on the watch list in our area: buck moth caterpillars (a.k.a. stinging caterpillars) and Ipps and Southern pine beetles
• trees are best mulched with their own droppings, as in "mimic Mother Nature"
The upshot: I proudly deduced this important lesson after listening to Courtright speak about the insidious gall wasp for an hour: diversify, diversify, diversify. Like a good investment portfolio, you've got to make sure you've got a variety of tree species on your property or be prepared to suffer a devastating loss when some pesky little wood-gnawer decides to move in with his pregnant wife.

I kept on postponing my spring detox since the beginning of this month. Today, I finally decided to begin detoxing, by using a juice cleanse detox diet.
To make things easier for me and to help and encourage you to begin you detox diet too, I decided to write this article. Here, you'll find everything you need to know about detox diets! I gathered all info in one place! You can choose from 4 types of detox diets, all of them were tested and I strongly recommend each one of them. I also added some extra tips for making your detox diet even more efficient! You'll also find how-to videos and book recommendations.
Hope you'll find this article useful! If you have any other detox tips, please leave a comment below and I'll update the article. Thanks!
Detox Diets (tested and recommended)
Detox Diet No.1: Raw Vegan Detox Diet
In my opinion, this is the easiest detox diet you can try. There are so many people who have a raw vegan lifestyle, so why can't you be raw for just one month?! Although I am not raw vegan and I don't encourage a 100% raw vegan lifestyle, I admit that raw foods have their benefits. So, a raw detox diet can be very effective!
Duration: You should keep a 100% raw vegan detox diet for 1 month. It's not that difficult, especially now that spring is here. I advise you to eat only local foods, so avoid tropical/imported fruits and veggies. I'm not saying those aren't healthy, but I follow the macrobiotic principles and one of the most important ones is "Eat local foods!". By eating local, you'll also spend a lot less on this detox diet.
How to: Eat lots of raw fruits/veggies/nuts! To enhance the detox effect, you can also add some/or all of the detox tips mentioned below.
Recipes: Here are my Salads and Raw Goodies Pinterest Boards.
Detox Diet No.2: Green Detox (Chlorophyll Diet)
Chlorophyll detox diet is absolutely amazing! This diet is also recommended to those of you who struggle with excess weight. This is a great weight-loss diet too, and unlike most weight-loss diets, this one doesn't torture your body by depriving it of essential nutrients. It does the exact opposite! Your body will get the nutrients it needs and you will also lose those extra pounds!
Chlorophyll is also known as "plant blood". This has a very similar composition as human hemoglobin, the difference is that chlorophyll contains magnesium and human blood contains iron.
In case you haven't already heard about the Gerson Therapy, you should definitely read this book The Gerson Therapy: The Proven Nutritional Program for Cancer and Other Illnesses and watch these documentaries: The Beautiful Truth: The World's Simplest Cure for Cancer and The Gerson Miracle.
The Chlorophyll Diet can also be used to treat different illnesses. Of course, in this case, it should be kept for more than 10 days and it should go hand in hand with other therapies. Read the book mentioned above and you'll understand how to do it.
Duration: 7-10 days for healthy people, more if you want to heal yourself from a particular illness. Read The Gerson Therapy book for more details.
How to: Eat lots of dark, leafy greens, rich in chlorophyll. Also, drink lots of fresh green juices and smoothies, like wheatgrass, kale, spinach juices.
Detox Diet No.3: Juice Cleanse Detox
This is my favorite detox diet. All you have to do is drink lots of fresh juices (smoothies are accepted too).
Duration: 7-10 days. You can also keep this for less than that, let's say 3 days, but it's less effective.
How to: All your meals will consist of drinking fresh fruits and veggies juices and smoothies.
Recipes: Here's my Smoothies and Juices board on Pinterest.
Detox Diet No.4: The Macrobiotic Ohsawa Diet
I wrote more about this diet in this article: Macrobiotic Diet 101 | Everything you need to know about macrobiotics! I believe in the macrobiotic principles and I try to follow them as much as possible. I can say I am a gluten-free, macrobiotic vegan! 🙂 If you follow this macrobiotic diet, it is best to keep it gluten-free. Even if you're not gluten intolerant, it can cause inflammation in the body.
My last year cleanse diet was based on this macrobiotic Ohsawa program. It may be a little bit difficult at first, but from day 3 and on you'll no longer feel hungry or crave other foods. At the end of this diet, you'll feel a lot better!
Extra tips for enhancing the detox effect
1. Detox Baths
Duration: 40 minutes
How to: You'll need the following ingredients: Epsom salt, sodium bicarbonate, ginger powder, pure essential oils. For an adult, you'll need the following quantities: 1-2 cups Epsom salt, 5 Tbsps sodium bicarbonate, 1 Tbsps ginger powder, a few drops of pure essential oils of choice. Read more about aromatherapy here: Aromatherapy and Its Great Health Benefits
2. Vitamin Water
Make your own vitamin water at home! All you need is filtered water and some fruits/herbs. See the whole process here.
Also, you have to drink at least 3L of water per day!
Another efficient method is to drink a glass of warm water with lemon juice, each morning on an empty stomach. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon powder, for an extra metabolism boost.
3. Superfoods and Spices
Superfoods and spices have amazing health benefits. You can also use them in your diet, by adding them in your food or in your juices and smoothies. If you want to learn more about them, check out this article: Antioxidants 101 | Everything you need to know about antioxidants and their anti-aging properties.
4. Dry Brushing
I recently discovered this technique and I love it! Here's a great video with all the instructions you need to start dry brushing at home and have perfect glowing skin.
5. Yoga and Meditation
You also need to purify your mind, not only your body. You can start by meditating for at least 10 minutes per day. Also, here is a great yoga for beginners video, I found on YouTube.
6. Natural Supplements
You can enhance the detox process by adding some natural supplements to your diet. The choice is your whether you want to use them too or not.

Jason Spezza is one of the most notable players in the modern day Ottawa Senators history. Spezza was the team's second overall pick in the 2001 draft and was the #1 center on some of the best lineups in franchise history. He will forever be remembered by fans for centering the "pizza line" with Alfredsson and Heatley, as well as playing a huge role in the team reaching it's only Stanley Cup Final appearance in 2007. He was also of course known for his infamous no look drop passes that would drive fans mad when unsuccessful. Spezza, to this day, remains one of the greatest centers in franchise history.
The Sens and Spezza parted ways in 2014 when he was traded to the Dallas Stars, where he has played ever since. This begs the question, what do the Senators have to do with Jason Spezza in the year 2019? Pierre LeBrun recently did an interview with Spezza, who happens to be a free agent this summer. Spezza said he is keeping the door open on possibly returning to Ottawa.
In the market that is Ottawa, this of course set Sens twitter and the fanbase ablaze with various hot takes on the idea. Many claimed that Spezza's play has deteriorated to a point where he wouldn't benefit the team enough to warrant offering him a contract this summer. A large number of others were very intrigued by the idea. People shared their reasoning for wanting Spezza back in Ottawa and made some very valuable arguments. "Ottawa is the most likely landing spot for Jason Spezza. The Matt Duchene trade left the Senators thin up the middle and adding Spezza would make sense for multiple reasons. He'd add invaluable experience and leadership to the young roster; he's great in the faceoff circle, as was Duchene; and he wouldn't command a top-six role, allowing the rebuilding Sens to keep giving big minutes to their developing prospects" says Sascha Paruk from SBD.
Spezza should have played his whole career in Ottawa rather than being traded for yet another pile of magic beans. Personally, seeing how the trade turned out for the team, I would have rather just kept Spezza instead of trading yet another captain and adding another dent in the armor of the team's reputation. As previously mentioned, Spezza could provide great leadership to what figures to be a very young team yet again next season. I am on board with pursuing Jason Spezza this summer in free agency since the team will have a boat load of cap space and could use some veteran leadership. What do you think the team should do? Let us know down below in the comments or on our Twitter and Facebook.

I have reams of writing (from back in the day when I wrote regularly), that aren't published and never will be, but that are still meaningful to me. In some cases they probably could be published if I sent them out, but I don't care enough to bother, or just don't want to. In other cases, the poems aren't any good, but retain a sentimental value. Others are simply meta-poems — poems about poetry — which I'm always mildly embarrassed to find myself accidentally writing.
Anyway, since these poems are worthless sitting in a drawer, I thought I'd start posting them every once in a while, under the category "old poems." Everyone loves nostalgia, at least when it's your own. You'll also know they're old poems because I'll list the date it was written and write a little something about it — why it has value to me personally, why it's never been published.
Start big: I think of "The Little Things, The Night" more often than any other poem I've written. Lines and phrases from it echo in my head out of nowhere, maybe weekly, maybe more often than that, and if I think about it too long I start to cry. I have no idea if the poem effectively renders the experience, or if the memory is just that emotionally charged.
Alone on an overnight shift, back when I was working at the group home, one of the residents was decompensating and knew it, so didn't trust herself to be unsupervised in her room. She turned in her razors and I put the house's silverware in a locked box. Middle-aged and very intelligent, she was the only patient I ever knew to have Dissociative Identity Disorder. Two distinct alters, and co-morbid manic-depression on top of it. Still a senior in college, I was completely unprepared. She talked about emptiness and I told her baby steps, like an idiot: "Try to enjoy the little things…a cup of coffee, a cigarette." Never mention happiness to the depressed, let alone the tragically, justifiably, suicidally depressed…
We sat up for eight hours and she told me her life story. Her first memory: raped by her father and two of his friends when she was five years old, lying wet with her own blood on the garage floor, staring at a crack under the door and waiting for them to come back. Jesus Christ, this is a thing that happens in our world… What can you say to that? What can be said?
The result for her was a labyrinth of safe zones in her mind so necessary that they consumed their own identities. A lifetime of meds and therapy, a perpetual holocaust. For me, just the story alone became a hot coal of hatred — and then this poem, so meaningless in the face of it all, so utterly pathetic.
How quickly bleakness comes. I might end up turning off the comments on this post; I don't really want to talk about it beyond this mini-exorcism. I thought briefly about including the poem in American Fractal — it would have fit the theme, complimented "Cutlery" — but it's too old and raw and ugly. Why publish something so powerless?
Timothy Green
what if you were trembling she says to her hands trembling
and what if your first memory was the cold
concrete was the pillow was the world was the trembling
jingle of keys but
you were still and still in it she says trembling her
hands the garage door the cold slit of light and
what if every time you closed your eyes you vanished
and so you kept them closed and kept them closed and
kept them closed like slits but you were still in it she says
and this time in the dark and this time trembling

In short: when you encounter virtually anything in a role-playing world, you roll a 20-sided die to see how well you deal with it. In this case I'm very specifically referencing traps. When you roll a one, you critically fail. Thanks to Patrick and Dodger, the zombies coming over the walls now critically fail every time they try.
It's not so much that they don't get over, but that they don't enjoy the trip once they do. There was a heated argument between Will and I yesterday about how we would address the whole problem, and some unkind words were exchanged. Mostly from me. When I get upset and feel I'm in the right and the other person isn't, I tend to lose control of my mouth. It was Dodger and Patrick who saved the day with their brilliant and simple solution.
We've got nearly the entire interior perimeter of the wall set with traps now. It didn't take very long once the idea was born, not with a thousand people doing the work all at once. We have the buffer on the outside of the wall--the inspiration--and now we have a buffer inside as well. Except instead of being a huge jumble of thick cables, wires, ropes, and cords, this buffer is made up almost entirely of wire strands. We had to cannibalize a lot of the extra power lines we've cut down from the county to use as extras, but stripping the insulation and splitting the wires apart into thin strands was the hardest part.
After that it was just securing them to the wall in sections. There are bells, scavenged from every corner of town, attached to the wires at regular intervals. When a zombie comes over the wall it has to fall to the ground. The ladders and stairs down are too close to guard posts for the undead to risk using them. They fall into the wires, which does a good bit of damage in addition to tangling them up, and bells sound. Our patrols or sentries and guards hear the bells and go running. The hope is that eventually the New Breed outside the walls will learn that figuring out the weak spots in our patrols and climbing the wall isn't in their best interests and give it up. For now we'll happily take this as a solution since it takes far less people to keep New Haven safe.
I'm still not thrilled with the leadership's response to this problem. It took a group of us getting together and fighting about it to come to a solution, and the situation never should have gotten that bad. We're supposed to be the people who work together for the common good. I confess myself disappointed.
But then, we do have a solution, so I can't complain too much. That's very good news considering some reports we've had about the Strangers, but that will have to wait for tomorrow. I want to give any new developments regarding those folks my full and undivided attention.

My 'Separates' challenge did not quite go to plan this fortnight.
I'd hoped to make a ca. 1900 blouse, all white lawn and lace trim, to be worn with my Chinoiserie skirt, and my Faille Skirt of Faille, and any future 1900s skirts. I got a pattern draped and drafted, my fabric located, pre-washed and pressed, and lace to match selected. Then my back and neck gave out, and I spent three days staggering around the house on anti-inflammatories and painkillers, just trying to stay alert enough to give lectures and teach classes. Even once I felt better, being in front of the sewing machine was less-than-fun, and cutting out was simply impossible.
So instead, I had a mad brain-and-UFO-pile scramble, and unearthed what is sadly not my oldest UFO ever, but is the oldest thing I've blogged about and never finished. Yes, back in Jan 2009, in only my second blog post ever, I mentioned making two garibaldi blouses.
And I never quite finished them. At the time I needed to "add the waistbands, hem the cuffs, add buttons and buttonholes and trim them with lots of fun frilly lace."
I did the buttons and buttonholes. And then they sat in my UFO pile for 5 and a half years in need of hems and cuffs. Pitiful.
The delay was partly because I had no need for them, partly because they were started in a hurry and even at the time were not up to my skills/standards, and partly because garibaldi blouses just aren't the most flattering garments. But needs must, and I wanted something finished, and a blouse is certainly finished.
So I hemmed one blouse, and attached the cuffs:
Hurrah! A finished project!
I mean, they aren't great. The collars are a little high and tight. I cheated and did everything by machine. The pleating in the sleeves is a bit crap. I couldn't find the same buttons I used in the front for the cuffs, so they are slightly different:
But it is done! After 5 and a half years!
And done is beautiful!
It might look OK with 1860s Greek Key skirt, but the sad part is I don't really have much to pair it with. The skirts I originally made it to go with has long since been given away.
The Challenge: #16 'Separates'
Fabric: Erm…well, 5 and a half years ago I must have bought about a metre and a half of white cotton muslin/calico to get started with
Pattern: My own
Year: ca. 1860
Notions: thread, shell buttons
How historically accurate is it? Meh. The fabric is crap quality for the time, so is the construction. The cut is reasonable. Something similar might have been worn by someone quite poor without access to better fabric and skills, but then, it's still totally machine sewn, and a bit early for that to be plausible. 30% more or less.
Hours to complete: 50 minutes to finish.
First worn: Not yet.
Total cost: At this point? Free, so that's a bonus.
The clever readers among you will be wondering what happened to the other shirt. I hemmed it. Made a cuff. Gathered the cuff end. Haven't sewn the cuff on yet. Hope that doesn't take another 5 and a half years…

Had Yitzhak Rabin lived, would the Oslo Accords have nurtured genuine peace between Israel and the Palestinians?
It has been 20 years since the assassination of Israel's fifth prime minister in Tel Aviv by Yigal Amir, a right-wing Jewish fanatic who considered Rabin a traitor and bitterly opposed the Oslo process. The murder traumatized Israel and its friends, and the recriminations still reverberate. To this day there are those who argue that Amir's terrible crime killed not only the country's democratically-elected leader and renowned military hero, but also the "land-for-peace" paradigm with the Palestinians that he had championed.
From the perspective of two decades, however, it seems clear that Rabin's assassination, far from sinking the Oslo process, actually prolonged it.
Oslo was a disaster from the outset, arguably the worst self-inflicted wound in Israel's history. By 1995, it was widely regarded as a failure by Israelis; polls showed public approval of Rabin and his Labor Party sinking to record lows. Oslo's architects had promised that empowering Yasser Arafat and the Palestine Liberation Organization with their own quasi-state in Gaza and the West Bank was the best way to suppress terror attacks and improve Israel's security. Rabin's government took the gamble, but the "peace process" didn't deliver peace. It delivered bus bombings and suicide attacks. More Israelis were killed by Palestinian terrorists in the 24 months following the famous handshake on the White House lawn than in any similar period in Israel's history.
In public, Rabin professed to be undaunted, repeatedly insisting that the engagement with Arafat must proceed: "We have to fight terror as if there were no peace talks, and we have to pursue peace as if there were no terror."
But privately, Rabin was having grave doubts.
According to Efraim Inbar, head of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar-Ilan University and the author of "Rabin and Israel's National Security," Rabin was no starry-eyed peacenik. He was a pragmatic leader for whom peace, in and of itself, was never a core value. The Oslo concessions could be justified only to the extent that they left Israel more secure. As it became apparent that instead of land for peace, Israel had exchanged land for terror, incitement, and hatred, Inbar said Wednesday in a lecture at Boston University, there is good reason to believe he would have pulled the plug.
Others have said the same thing. Dalia Rabin, the prime minister's daughter (and a former deputy defense minister), recalled in 2010 that she had been told by many of her father's confidants "that on the eve of the murder he considered stopping the Oslo process because of the terror that was running rampant in the streets, and because he felt that Yasser Arafat was not delivering on his promises." And Moshe Ya'alon, who in 1995 was Israel's chief of military intelligence, was told by Rabin that he intended to "set things straight" with Oslo after the 1996 election, since Arafat's commitments were plainly worthless.
Would he have done so? Of course we cannot know for sure, but as Inbar notes, Rabin did believe that Oslo was reversible. When critics expressed alarm at an agreement committing Israel to arm a Palestinian police force, he replied that there was nothing to fear. "There is no danger that these guns will be used against us," Rabin said. "The purpose of this ammunition for the Palestinian police is to . . . fight against Hamas. They won't dream of using it against us, since they know very well that if they use these guns against us once, at that moment the Oslo Accord will be annulled."
But he waited too long.
Amid the emotional public backlash that followed Rabin's assassination, any repudiation of Oslo would have been deemed a victory for his assassin. So even though the Labor Party was defeated in the 1996 election, the new Likud prime minister — a young Benjamin Netanyahu — could claim no mandate to annul the accords. The Oslo process continued. Follow-up agreements were negotiated and signed. But fresh concessions from Israel only encouraged fresh violence from the Palestinians. Ten years after Rabin's death, the "land-for-peace" mindset reached its apotheosis with Israel's unilateral retreat from the entire Gaza Strip. Result: a takeover of Gaza by Hamas, more than 16,000 rockets and mortars fired at Israeli civilians, and torrents of lurid propaganda that extol the spilling of Jewish blood.
Had Rabin lived, the Oslo calamity might have been reversed long ago and the "peace now" delusion abandoned as a gamble that failed. But the bullets that killed a courageous prime minister also killed the chance of undoing his greatest blunder. The worst self-inflicted wound in Israel's history still bleeds.

Researching Virginia's early laws
So The Legal Genealogist is off again this weekend (can you tell it's conference season?) and this time to a state through which just about all of my mother's ancestors passed at one point or another — Virginia.
I'll be speaking Saturday, November 8, at the Genealogical Research Institute of Virginia Fall Conference at Clover Hill High School in Midlothian, and hope to see you there. (Walk-ins are welcome!)
And in honor of those ancestors and this weekend's celebration of Virginia research, here's a little tip on researching early Virginia records: thanks to a man named William Waller Hening, it's really easy to find out what those records mean by looking at the laws of the Old Dominion that impacted them.
Hening was born around 1750 and died 31 March 1828.1 He was admitted to practice law in Virginia in 1789, became a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in 1804, and served in public office until his death in 1828.2
And his most enduring legal legacy was a monumental 13-volume work containing the laws enacted by Virginia's legislative bodies (the House of Burgesses and the General Assembly) between 1619 and 1792.
These 13 volumes are cited collectively as William Waller Hening, The Statutes at Large; Being a Collection of All the Laws of Virginia, from the first session of the Legislature in the year 1619, 13 vols. (Richmond, Philadelphia, and New York, 1809-1823). For short, they're referred to as Hening's Statutes at Large. They were published by acts of the Virginia General Assembly dated 5 February 1808, 10 March 1819 and 24 January 1823 3 and have been referred to by a former Virginia State Archivist as "a signal contribution to southern scholarship" and "a work known to all historians."4
Just about anything you may ever need to know about the colonial and early Commonwealth laws of Virginia, you can find in Hening's Statutes at Large. Need to know when the town of Stevenburg was founded in Culpeper County? It's in Volume 11, Laws of 1782.5 Want to see how the militia was organized in 1777? No problem. Volume 9, Laws of 1777.6 Trying to figure out when Randolph County was formed? Volume 12, Laws of 1786.7
Now, the volumes of the original Hening's Statutes at Large are available online in digital image format. Through Google Books, you can find:
• Vol. 1 (1619 – 1660)
• Vol. 2 (1660 – 1682)
• Vol. 3 (1684 – 1710)
• Vol. 4 (1711 – 1736)
• Vol. 5 (1738 – 1748)
• Vol. 6 (1748 – 1755)
• Vol. 7 (1756 – 1763)
• Vol. 8 (1764 – 1773)
• Vol. 9 (1775 – 1778)
• Vol. 10 (1779 – 1781)
• Vol. 11 (1782 – 1784)
• Vol. 12 (1785 – 1788)
• Vol. 13 (1789 – 1792)
You can also find the entire set of 13 volumes digitized online at Hathitrust ("a partnership of academic & research institutions, offering a collection of millions of titles digitized from libraries around the world"), from the University of Michigan Library here, and from the Harvard University Library here.
And a search for "Hening Statutes" at the Internet Archive will turn up these digital images as well.
A reprint series is available in most major libraries: William Waller Hening, ed., The Statutes at Large; Being a Collection of All the Laws of Virginia, from the first session of the Legislature in the year 1619, 13 vols., reprint (Charlottesville : University of Virginia Press, 1969).
And there's one more source for these early laws: a transcription of Hening's statutes keyed in by Freddie L. Spradlin, Virginia state coordinator for the USGenWeb Project. This database, titled Hening's Statutes at Large, is fully-word-searchable, though the results pages can be a bit hard to navigate.
So no excuses now… since we need to understand the laws when and where the record was created, those of us with Virginia ancestors need to get cracking…

TPC Fax is a free service that lets you send text faxes by email. It doesn't have a huge international coverage, but it works for most big cities.
To send a fax, you need to drop a mail to:
remote-printer.recipient_name@fax_number.iddd.tpc.int. For details about the syntax, go to this page
Adrian Hristov, who sent me this tip, has an interesting idea: what if you forward all your mails from Gmail to a fax number using this service? You could also use a filter to forward only some of the mails.

the most stupid idea i have ever heard...
in Milan (Italy) we have a service provider called Fastweb who does the opposite, lets you receive faxes on a emailbox, this saves paper!!!!

Takes genius to write a confusing message like this. What does "fax_number" above mean? Do you put country code? Do you put hyphens as is commonly done in the US for phone numbers? Where exactly do you put the underscore? As I said, a work of staggering genius.

You don't have to be genius to read the information from the webpage of the service, don't you think? I linked to all the relevant information.

And even if you think it's stupid to use this service to receive mail messages on your fax machine, you can use it as an excellent send-fax-by-mail service. Which has the rare quality of being free.

why gmail doesnt allow me to add this email address as contacT ?
i thought i can add this address to g contacts and use it to send whenver i want

You have to replace recipient_name and fax_number with their real value first of all. So fax_number should be a number, for example.
Then you can add it as a contact in Gmail.

I love that first commment... 'the most stupid idea I have ever heard.' I personally think it is a great idea. Now you can recieve faxes through e-mail and send them through e-mail as well. There are some people who don't accept e-mails. Now all you need to do is fax them using this protocol! Great find! Thanks!!

Just what I was looking for.
My dad has a motel I'm doing a web site for. He doesn't have time to check the motel email every day. But these days you have to allow people to contact you via the Net.
So we'll just put the contact form on the web site, and the auto-email will be going to the fax.
The fax generates tones so he knows when a fax is coming in. He doesn't always hang out in front of the computer, but he can hear the fax ring.
This is a great service. Anyone who thinks this was stupid has no imagination of the needs or possibilities.

I think this is a fantastic idea. Just the other day I was trying to find out a way to send a fax from Australia to the USA using my PC (which uses broadband to connect to the internet).
The only disappointing feature of this service is that, although it covers some cities in Australia, it does not cover all the main capital cities (which are only 7), but I trust that the rest will eventually be added. This would allow Australians to send faxes within the country.

I just had a look on the TCP.INT website. There is a description on how to fax images (TIFF/PS files) using Eudora Pro by mapping the correct MIME type.
Is there a way to do this in Gmail as well?

In Gmail, you can set up a filter that forwards only emails that meet some criteria.
To test that an email has .doc attachments, type in "Has the words":
has:attachments filename:doc

My boyfriend has no computer - but he DOES have a fax machine. I have no fax machine - but I DO have a computer. He lives over 30 miles away, so if I need to send him some information that is too long to text or to read over the phone for him to write down, instead of having to post it to him and him not get it for a day or two, I can use this service. Very handy indeed, I reckon!

For comment #2: it's not a stupid idea, saves paper, convenient when you are on the go.
For comment #3: you don't have to be a genius to figure this out. Read for a change and everything you need to know in order to fax it there.
I don't think you can add an attachment though...maybe later but it's still a free service

WHAT ABOUT YOUR INFORMATION! All the fax information I need to send is private and has personal information on it. I don't want my information going through a third party that I can't trust. If you are sending a picture or something, great. But otherwise I'm nervous.

This is a great idea. There are still businesses that only take FAX. Banks for one, they get so much email that stuff gets lost, so they require, especially for real estate, stuff to be sent via fax.

2019 Lexus ES is the first mass-produced car with digital side mirrors.
Lexus vehicles, by installing small exterior cameras on the front doors, will provide its drivers with a clearer view of the vehicle's surrounding area.
The cameras in the Digital Side-View Monitors transmit the images onto 5-inch display monitors located inside the cabin at the base of the front pillars. Another advantage the Digital Side-View Monitors have over their conventional counterparts is that they are shaped to resist the accumulation of raindrops and snow, leaving the driver's view unaffected.
The system automatically enhances the corresponding area―left, right or behind―when the turn signals are activated, or when the transmission is put into reverse.
The view of areas around the car can be manually enhanced by the driver to obtain complete peripheral awareness of the area around the vehicle. By replacing the vehicle's conventional side mirrors with small cameras, side mirrors no longer block the view outside the front windows, resulting in improved visibility. Wind noise has also been reduced, resulting in a quieter cabin.

Despite repeated denials by the upper echelon at the Living Church of God all things are not bright and beautiful or unified.
We are soon going to be witnessing ministers leaving Living Church of God because of the "liberal" policies of Rod Meredith. It will be interesting to see what these men claim are the "liberal" polices and beliefs that Meredith his been espousing. Meredith is not known for being a liberal.
It also seems that the recently defected ministers from David Hulme's personalty cult are not too happy in Living Church of God either. Will they soon defect elsewhere?
A reader here posted:
Rumor is that the three Hulme elders who defected to LCG are already reconsidering their decision, in light of the fact that several prominent LCG elders will soon be announcing their move to another Church of God group (not Thiel's group, and not RCG).
Since the death of Sheryl Meredith, a new wave of discontent has rocked LCG. For years, conservatives in LCG were told privately that Sheryl was the behind-the-scenes cause of many of Rod Meredith's liberal or nepotistic decisions. Now, with Sheryl out of the picture, people are realizing that the problem has been old Rod all along.
Rod is a liar.
Rod will lie to protect his family.
Rod will back other liars who defend him and make him look good.
Rod will soon have a much smaller church to give to his children.
Then, to add more fuel to the fire, James Malm had this encrypted message up today:
COG NEWS: I need to be as circumspect as I can here, but I do want to present some idea of what is happening so that people will not be taken by surprise. I do not want to upset anyone's applecart so about all I can say is that there are various elders in discreet communications with certain COG Groups about changing their affiliation. I can also say that they will not be going to RCG and that this may take some weeks yet.
Things are not rosy in Charlotte and it will be interesting to see how the spin doctors rise up and deny that things are amiss in the Living Church of God. We will be regaled with words of encouragement about the great unified family that exists in the LCG. At no point in the history of the Church of God has the church been more unified.
Poor Jimmy Meredith may soon have to put in an application at Walmart.

In a Ritual Bootcamp with E.A. Koetting, you will:
Limited availability based on schedule.
Payment Plan
There is no payment plant for this item. All orders are final.
Use a valid debit or credit card. You may also use Paypal. To do so, click the Book Now button.
Book your bootcamp, then E.A. will contact you about scheduling privately.
E.A. Koetting's bootcamp took me over that line I could not cross on my own. he made a good magician great. I say that with confidence, not arrogance. Through magick, I secured a better career. I have made pacts with Demons in my temple and have talked with them on other realms. E.A. showed me how to fine-tune my workings. Everything is customized for you. What more could you ask for? It was a great experience and I hope to go back some day. If you are serious about improving your skills in magick, you should strongly consider attending the Ritual Bootcamp. You won't be disappointed.
I recently came off of E.A.'s Bootcamp, and I learned more in three days than I learned anywhere else. This really should be your first stop along the way. You will not be disappointed.
I just want to put it out there that if anyone is considering signing up for E.A.'s Ritual Bootcamp, it is everything he said it would be. It is 100% a path to dark ascent. It has skyrocketed my ritual experiences.
It happens to everyone, even the best of us…
At some point along your magical journey you hit a brick wall. A sticking point. A dead-end where a ritual fails to work, and suddenly you realize that you have NO IDEA in the world what to do about it…
The all-too-familiar feeling of worry and anxiety returns inside your belly, and you start to feel nervous desperation.
This is a defining moment for you…
You are now at a decision point:
Will you stay committed and do anything it takes to solve your problem… even if it means going beyond yourself to receive help from someone more advanced than you?
Or, will you quit and rationalize your failure in order to protect a weak, little ego?
In my years of teaching magick publicly, I've seen a recurring pattern. As you might expect, the magicians who accomplish real feats, and develop real gifts, are the ones who devote their entire lives to magick and refuse give up. These are the same practitioners who come to me with a burning hunger to get help, because they're SO CLOSE to success they can taste it. These are also the sorcerers and sorceresses who stay late after my seminars to pick my brain for the finest details.
The difference between a winner and loser, is that the winner will put their ego aside, and ask for help from someone who has greater skills. They will seek out counsel and consult real masters.
All the best performers have a mentor who helps them reach the next level. How would you like me to become YOUR mentor?
As an example… Olympic athletes are the best on the planet at their particular sports. These are the elite who set world records, and become legends. And every single one of them has a personal trainer who guides and refines their talent, so they can continue to reach newer, higher peak performances.
High-performance people in EVERY field of endeavor have mentors they consult in order to solve difficult problems and "get the edge".
You'd be crazy to think you can learn everything on your own through books. When you actually start practicing hard core magick, you quickly discover the priceless value of having a personal consultant standing by to provide expert advice when you need it most.
Now I'm not one to brag or boast, but the truth is I'm an accomplished sorcerer. In fact, I've already surpassed many of the most famous magicians who have ever existed. And over the years as word spread of my unprecedented achievements, I started having boutique book publishers and students knocking on my door, pleading for advice.
Long story short, I founded my own professional consulting service, and it's grown in leaps and bounds since its inception. I never knew how rewarding it could be to help OTHERS follow in my footsteps and climb the ladder of magick success.
So I ask you, what specifically is stopping you from succeeding right now?
What in particular is holding you back?
Tell me, because I guarantee I can help you overcome it.
I guarantee I'll help you accelerate down the golden-brick road of magick success. I can help you "turn it all around" and escape the inevitable dead-end that forces 9 out of 10 magicians to give up.
Nothing beats personal hands-on training with an expert.
In fact, in many traditions of magick, and mystery schools, you're not even allowed to learn rituals unless you are an initiated member.
In 3 days, I am going to completely transform your entire occult skill set. I will critique your full understanding and performance of ritual magick, from top to bottom, until you are a totally new, turbocharged magician.
For 72 hours straight, you are going to live and breath real magick.
My guarantee to you, is that you will be spiritually exhausted when you leave my training grounds, and need several days of full energetic recuperation. And upon recovery, you'll be more powerful at ritual magick than you ever imaged possible.
The truth is, I am extremely busy.
I'm developing Become A Living God, filming programs, giving telephone consultations, and raising a family.
But I committed my life to Magick Ascent many years ago, and that includes helping aspiring magicians to experience spiritual growth as well. So I've opened up more time in my schedule for private, in-person bootcamp training.
Here are the simple steps to success:
This informs me that you're actually serious. I strongly encourage you to lock this in RIGHT NOW – or as soon as you can – because I am only taking a limited number of new clients.
I'll touch base within 48 hours to arrange exact logistics like a convenient time and date for our training, and provide my best recommendations for the most affordable travel and lodging. Furthermore, a simple Google search would provide helpful suggestions too, of course.
I'll guide you through the most rigorous 3-day pathworking of your life in the exotic local desert. We'll accomplish your exact goals, and solve your worst problems, together.
From the moment you complete your order, you become my personal apprentice, and I'll do whatever it takes for you to succeed with magick and spirituality. You'll finally make the breakthroughs you've always wanted. You'll achieve a new rock solid confidence, and accelerate your Magick Ascent.
|Ritual Bootcamp
|8-hour session together every day
|Weekend Retreat

Because I want as many people as possible to benefit from this program, I've priced it at only $3,999 for three full days of my undivided attention and commitment.
I'm going to show you exactly what you need to solve your immediate problems and reach your peak performance with magick, so you can enjoy the lasting ecstasy of spiritual accomplishment.
I'm totally committed to providing you the best, most powerfully helpful consultation. Get answers to your most burning questions and put a stop to all your troubles. Let me help you get the kind of success with magick that we both know you deserve…
Godlike Power,
E.A. Koetting authored eight classic grimoires on black magick, and co-created Become A Living God, where he has helped hundreds of thousands of magicians to experience Ascent.

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." - Jim Rohn.
Being a successful influencer is like any other profession -- there are best practices and habits that will give you the edge. If you genuinley form the habits below, you will see significant results long-term.
5 Successful Habits:
Re-post on your personal account. By creating a personal account we can double your growth (we grow personal accounts for free at no added costs for all VIP clients). Repost all your appropriate Story posts from your main account to your personal page.
Text us for reposts. Text our hotline anytime you are tagged in any content or reposted on large accounts. We can target the followers of the accounts that engaged with these posts.
Maintain quality content. Never post any posts that don't have you in the frame. No motivational words as a post, no pictures of food. No content that doesn't have you in it. These posts won't perform as well as other posts, they're poor performance will hurt your overall profile ranking in Instagram's algorithm.
Ask questions & polls as often as possible in posts and Story's.
Ask questions whenever and wherever you can, whether contextually related to the content, or completely random ones.
Did you shoot in the desert? Ask something about the desert, ask if your followers gave been, a fun fact about desserts or a little fun story from the shoot - anything. Did you read a certain book on the drive? Talk about that or ask for book recommendations. Milk your content for questions. Questions increase engagement. Increase engagement is how you go viral and gain superfans.
Every small or big way a follower engages with you is an incremental benefit in:
1) Psychological Commitment - Once a follower comments or likes once they are far more likely to do it again. Further to this, they are far more likely to engage in ways that the algorithm values more, highly - like leaving long comments and DM's.
2) Algorithmic Benefit - Their cumulative engagement increases your profile ranking which gives you gold standard in the algorithm. This helps your content rank higher to other ones which increases your odds of hitting the 'Explore' page, and increases your long-term post reach.
TIP FOR STORY'S: You can also create poll chains by using high-res photos of you as backdrops to generally interesting questions. For instance, find 5 backdrop pictures and then ask your audience a random question after these. As long as these are questions that people would be interested in seeing responses to this works!
Example questions: "Which do you prefer cats to dogs?", "Which superpower would you prefer?", "If you had to eat one forever, which one?". These can be fun, random and playful and serve the benefit of improving your ranking the algorithm.
Respond to and encourage DM's at every opportunity. DM's are a type of engagement that the algorithm thinks really highly of -- so you want as many active DM's as possible.
So, how do you encourage DM's at scale? Take screenshots of DM's you like and conversations you have with your followers and upload them to your Sory. This is proof you read your DM's. This increases the likelihood of people DM'ing you as they know you read them. You should also ask questions in your Story's asking questions that ask people questions, then post your replies or thanks to them as the next Story.
