Acrylic on gessoed hardboard, 7 x 5''
painting #246, 2017
This small painting was a hospitality gift for my friend Françoise and her husband Michel who generously offered to pick us up at the airport in Lyon, France and welcomed us into their home for a two night stay in Annonay. On May 8, my wife Suzanne and I would embarked on the ''Puy Way" (GR 65) part of the greater network of trails of the Camino leading to Santiago the Compostella. The moderately difficult hiking trek from Puy-en-Velay to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France is 720 km in length, with an elevation reaching 1300m in the Aubrac region of the Massif Central. The whole journey should have taken us about 26-28 days to complete. Françoise did join us for the first day and hiked with us until noon before we said our goodbyes.
Everything was going well until day 8, then Suzanne started to have pain in her left knee. By the end of day 9, the pain would turn into an injury. I continued solo for an additional day, while Suzanne took a shuttle bus in order to rejoin me in Figeac. After 3 days of rest, she saw very little improvement. So with heavy hearts, we decided to leave the trail and remain in Europe for another month as tourists. Not having to carry an 18 lbs backpack or tackling mountainous terrain permitted her to slowly recover. It would take 18 days for her to walk without a limp. I was able to hike 270 km during our 10 days on the GR-65. With this said, I feel I have unfinished business. I will be returning to Figeac by myself to complete the Puy Way hiking trek to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port next year.

The whole trip was a wonderful whirlwind.
Bonne Maman means "Good Mother" in English. Symbolically, the image is in memory of my mother Emma, and the painting will remain in the country of her ancestors. Since her passing in 2006, during our travels, we often see her name or it will just come up in casual conversation with others, a reminder that she is watching over us. This trip was no exception. This always brings me comfort and a validation that I should live out my dreams.

Ambler Gamers rang in the new year with a Napoleonic rumble in Joe's gaming Mecca. In a change from our usual "more lead!" approach, this time we played a scenario where Prussian and Russian armies sought to link up while a French force in the middle tried to scramble into a position where it could deny its opponents the chance to achieve their goals. Lots of open space on the table, with lots of reserve forces waiting in the wings.
|The table at setup. French on the Right, Prussians at the left, and Russians at the far end by Joe.
|Mark surveys the field. "My, that's a lot of Russians," he thinks to himself.
|At the far end, Scott has problems of his own. His flanking force gets pinned down, and his infantry brigades creep forward at mere inches per turn. Mark doesn't seem to be regarding the Russians with such dread anymore.
|In the foreground, my Prussians continue their slow slog in parallel columns. In the background, my lone brigade and some light cavalry reinforcements have done an effective job in guarding my flank.
|Mark had two brigades facing the center of the table, waiting for a drive up the middle that never materialized. Reinforcements were random in type and entry point, so everyone was kept guessing.
|Herb tries to push his left flank into the path of my advancing column, but he faced some bad command rolls of his own.
|The Prussians did not want for reinforcements. A brigade of Guard cavalry threatens to smash the Bavarian/Wurttemburg center.
|Scott tries a cavalry rush around his right flank, hoping to give his attack some momentum. A fierce defense by the French meant the Russians were running short of option.
|Stand, damn you!
|After a few hours, we called it in favor of the French. Speedy maneuvers at the start of the game helped the French control the battlefield and forced the Allies into bottlenecks that limited their ability to attack.

Proposal of the Notional Rifle Association in response to school shootings
[Parts: Next | Last | All] [Links: To-K | Refs ]
As a consequence of the Newtown School / Sandy Hook massacre, there has been extensive commentary on school shootings in general, on the right to bear arms, on the availability of firearms to citizens of the USA, on gun control, on the consequences in terms of the level of homicides there, on the complicity of the gun owner lobby and arms manufacturers, and on the nature of the government response with respect to remedial legislation -- within the constraints of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution (cf. Alan Fisher (After Newtown: Rethinking US gun laws, Al Jazeera, 19 December 2012; Edward Helmore (Gunmakers' town in crisis after shooting, The Observer, 22 December 2012). A valuable perspective on the unchanging -- and unfruitful -- pattern of response to such events is provided by Gary Younge (Newtown shootings: if not now, when is the time to talk about gun control? The Guardian, 14 December 2012) arguing:
It is simply not plausible to understand events in Connecticut this Friday without having a conversation about guns in a country where more than 84 people a day are killed with guns, and more than twice that number are injured with them.... Americans are no more prone to mental illness or violence than any other people in the world. What they do have is more guns: roughly, 90 for every 100 people. And regions and states with higher rates of gun ownership have significantly higher rates of homicide than states with lower rates of gun ownership.
Further issues relate to a seemingly crafted presentation of the event by authorities in collusion with the media, as described by James F. Tracy (The Sandy Hook School Massacre: unanswered questions and missing information, Global Research, 25 December 2012). Others have commented on the disparity in news coverage of the event in comparison with the case of similar fatalities elsewhere (Glenn Greenwald, Newtown Kids vs Yemenis and Pakistanis: what explains the disparate reactions? The Guardian, 19 December 2012). How indeed are fruitful possibilities to emerge, as variously discussed (Richard Falk, Responding to the Unspeakable Killings at Newtown, Connecticut, Transcend Media Service, 24 December 2012; Marianne Perez de Fransius, After Newtown: shifting the structure and culture of violence towards peace, Transcend Media Service, 24 December 2012)?
The Sandy Hook massacre was rated the top story of 2012 in an Associated Press Editors Poll, ahead of the US Presidential election and Hurricane Sandy.
In its response, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has elaborated a radical proposal -- the National School Shield -- to place armed guards in schools to reduce the possibility of school shootings (NRA Calls for Arms in School, The Wall Street Journal, 22 December 2012; Gun lobby defends call for armed guards at schools, Reuters, 23 December 2012). This has itself elicited widespread commentary, noting the ambivalence of popular support for gun control (NRA proposal to post armed guards in schools is debunked by critics, The Guardian, 21 December 2012; Poll: Inconclusive support for gun control, CBS News, 27 December 2012).
What follows is a proposal by the Notional Rifle Association -- necessarily more radical than that of our colleagues in the National Rifle Association. It could be considered potentially both more politically feasible and more cost-effective (given the drain on much-stretched public resources required to guard against the well-documented and greater threats of terrorism).
The proposal here advocates the possibility of progressive weaponisation of the replica toy weapons already made available by parents to children for their amusement -- and received with enthusiasm by them as a complement to their experience with video games. The process is seen as engendering an internal pattern of control within schools, consistent with the arguments of the National Rifle Association and with the principles enshrined in the Second Amendment to the US Constitution.
The radical nature of this proposal follows from arguments developed previously (Liberating Provocations: use of negative and paradoxical strategies, 2005). A previous massacre of children in Norway in 2011 was explored in terms of its wider implications (Gruesome but Necessary: global governance in the 21st Century? Extreme normality as indicator of systemic negligence, 2011).

Restaurant Review: Fish and Game in Hudson, New American Food and Dining in Columbia County
Taste maker: In Hudson, a revered city chef melds sophisticated flavors with local products
Fish & Game's house-made ramen noodles are served with rotisserie roasted duck, egg, green onion, and a spicy red chili sambal
Photographs by Teresa Horgan
(page 1 of 2)
The New York Times recently ran a story about the migration of celebrity chefs from the city to the Hudson Valley, evidently lured here by our farms. It's been going on for years now, of course, and I feel obliged to mention that chefs using "earthy" local produce is not an idea introduced last year by newcomers from the metropolis. Still, the influx of famous chefs is raising the bar on the foodie scene, and while many of them alight in Westchester, some are drifting as far upriver as Hudson. The latest arrival in that increasingly hip enclave is Zakary Pelaccio of Fatty Crab and Fatty 'Cue fame, who opened Fish & Game in a onetime blacksmith's shop in the spring.
Rather than continue in the spirit of his trendy city spots, where the cuisine was Malaysian, Pelaccio in his ambitious rural incarnation has gone seriously locavore, offering a nightly tasting menu using food that's almost all produced nearby. Butchering takes place in-house, and nothing goes to waste. Jori Jayne Emde, Pelaccio's wife and co-chef, is the "alchemist" creating the vinegars, pickles, relishes, essences, and distillations that enhance the main ingredients or find their way into interesting drinks.
Architect Michael Davis, who — like Pelaccio and Emde — has a place in Columbia County, designed the interior of the handsome building, which has been gutted and enlarged. It's now a well-staged mix of red flocked wallpaper, Prussian blue wainscot, beamed ceilings, cool light fixtures, and two big fireplaces built with salvaged bricks, one of them containing a rotisserie. A stuffed boar's head on the wall reminds everyone of the promise of game in season. In the bar/lounge, cushy leather sofas are so inviting that a couple was canoodling there when we arrived on a hot night.

We were greeted by a cute young guy wearing a pork pie hat. When I casually remarked that it was cool inside, he promptly produced a box of shawls, and demonstrated to my husband how one could be worn like a scarf, if you happen to be a chilly, non-cross-dressing guy. (It was not needed.) We sat at the communal table that anchors the small dining room, where we could see into the kitchen. Linen napkins in metal rings, heavy silverware (a fresh set for each course, it turned out), and glassware are all of high quality.
You can get drinks and a small selection of a la carte fare in the bar or on the brick patio outside. But in the dining room, Pelaccio serves a seven- or eight-course nightly tasting menu for $68. "Limit of one dietary restriction per customer" it says in tiny type at the bottom of the menu. Wine pairings cost an additional $75. The mostly European wine list is also on the pricey side, but there are a few offerings by the glass.
The experience (and that's what it is) began with a wonderful, chewy sourdough bread with sweet butter that we enjoyed as we waited for the action to start. The back of the menu lists the "Farms and Artisans" who provide the ingredients for each night's dinner (26 of them on the day we went). The menu itself, a model of simplicity, names the main ingredient of each course — Potato, Eggplant, Pork — with back-up ingredients that don't give much of a clue about preparation either. "Potato," for example, was subtitled "hollandaise, caviar." Pelaccio is evidently both serious about what he's doing, and having fun dispensing surprises.

I am proud announce that Domain Spoon has finally been approved by Clickbank.
There was a lot of back and forth between me and Clickbank support.
The pricing had to be a certain way… the wording on the sales page had to be just so… there had to be certain notifications on the thank you page, etc.
Then, I had to get things just right on the back end. There had to be certain codes that matched, both on the Clickbank side and the membership software side. To be honest, this was a little confusing… even for a technical guy like me.
There was a lot more to the process than I had originally thought.
But heck, it was my first Clickbank product ever, so all things considered, I think I did okay. Plus, I'm super excited to learn how to do this right so that it won't be so difficult the next time around.
Long story short, things are finally in order.
So, what does this mean?
It means, NOW is your chance to make some money!
Getting in on the ground floor of an affiliate program can be a powerful and strategic move.
Here's why:
- There is almost no one promoting Domain Spoon right now.
- There are very few videos out there that show how the software works
- There is almost no one out there optimizing for keywords like "Domain Spoon" or "Domain Spoon Review" or "Domain Spoon Promo Code" and other common keyword phrases people will soon be searching for.
This is your chance to start optimizing for these keywords before anyone else does.
Clickbank makes it very easy to promote software and make money. They have a solid 30-day affiliate cookie, and I have an affiliate program with a 20% recurring commission.
For the record… Yes, I am biased. Domain Spoon is my product. It's my baby. Lots of blood, sweat and tears went into this application to ensure that it was the best tool available to help people find potentially-valuable expired domains.
If you have ever used Domain Spoon, you know that there is nothing that there is nothing else that compares.

Known as one of the primary residences of the English monarch, Windsor
castle plays hosts to many different ghosts some of which include:
Elizabeth I- Her spirit has been seen by many (including members of the
current royal family) in the Royal Library. The sound of her high heels
are heard on bare floorboards, people have seen her walk through the
library and into an inner room.
George III- For the last 10 years of his reign, George III was often
confined due to bouts of insanity, his face is often seen with sad
features looking out of the window where he was confined.
King Henry VIII- has been seen walking the hallways of Windsor castle.
His footsteps, along with agonizing moans, have been heard by many
guests of the castle.
King Charles I- has also been seen in the royal library as well as in
the Canon's house. Even though he was beheaded his spirit appears
whole, it is said that his apparition looks exactly like his portraits.
In 1873, a night-time visitor to the castle noticed an interesting new
statuary group had been erected near St. George's Chapel: three
standing figures, all in black, and a fourth crouching down. The
central standing character was in the act of striking with a large
sword. The sentry knew nothing of this artwork and when the visitor
returned to re-examine it, it had gone!
Herne the Hunter became the favorite huntsman of King Richard II when
he saved the monarch from being mauled to death by a cornered stag.
Being wounded in the process, he was later healed through witchcraft
and the wearing of the stag's antlers. Unfortunately though, his
subsequent friendship with the King and skill in the field, bred
jealousy in his colleagues and he was framed for theft. Shame led him
to hang himself on 'Herne's Oak in the Home Park and, with a Wild Hunt,
his spirit has since been seen many times careering across the Great
Park searching for lost souls.

Famous Hauntings
Ghosts and Hauntings

I'll be honest. Screens including the TV, computer and gadgets have often been my babysitter and sanity saver. I could defend why I use them until the cow's come home but the truth is, at times, I'm just lazy. I've become dependent on screens to give me a break, provide distraction for the kids and keep them engaged while I complete important (or not so important) tasks. The problem? I've become increasingly uncomfortable with what my kids watch on TV and the addictive nature of gadgets like ipads. I've learnt to recognise that when I begin to feel uncomfortable or uneasy about something it is often the still, small voice of God trying to get my attention.
So when I heard about the screen free week challenge it seemed the answer I was looking for. It would offer us a chance to disconnect from technology and give us time to re-connect with each other. I felt it would also be an opportunity to re-assess our use of screens and to seek God for help in what changes we could make to how we use screens in our family and homeschool.
I talked about the ways that we swapped TV for other activities at MUMmedia which included swapping morning TV for activity boxes and afternoon TV for music.
Why consider the use of screens when you homeschool?
1. Screens limit creativity
One thing I have loved about homeschooling is seeing how amazingly creative my children are when they are given the time and space to explore their own thoughts. This creativity is hampered when the TV is on. The two cannot work together.
And although many things we do on the computer are educational, playing a maths game with one dimensional images does not stimulate little brains in the same way that sitting down looking at concrete examples and manipulatives does. Computer learning such as skwirk or studyladder are great as long as they compliment other homeschool methods.
2. Screens are addictive
Most of us know that the TV is addictive but it is nowhere near as addictive as gadgets and computer games. My kids would often watch TV but drift off and do something else. However, with gadgets they are transfixed and immovable and when it's time to get off - tantrums erupt!
3. What we see on screens often opposes our values
This is the biggest one for us. I have always been careful with what the kids watch but as they've gotten older and outgrown the mostly harmless shows on ABC2 I've had difficult finding shows that I think are appropriate. I've observed shows that I don't want the kids watching but felt stuck. It was either tell them to watch preschool shows, pop a DVD on or just turn it off and listen to the whining and nagging.
What we learnt from going screen free...
- We are better without TV
It warmed my heart getting up in the morning to see my early risers lounging on the couch reading a book instead of blobbing in front of the the TV. As a homeschooler, our whole day is about opportunities for learning and too much TV time opposes what I'm trying to create at home for my kids.
It also minimised noise! Our afternoons seemed much calmer without the added stimulation of the TV blaring!
- Screens have become too important to us
Although I loved a week away from the computer for myself it made me realise that I waste a lot of time stuck in computer land. I often have up to 10 windows open at a time and I can be writing a blog, preparing a report for work, checking facebook, doing online banking, getting homeschool ideas on pinterest and shopping on ebay....all at the same time. When the kids would come and ask me to do something I would become stressed with all the things I had to do before I could get off the computer. During my computer free week I found that I could do my online banking quickly on my phone if I needed to and could do without the distraction of multiple windows open. I turned off alerts on my phone though so I don't feel tempted to check it a hundred times a day when it beeps at me!
Time with my kids is the most important thing in the world and I needed a wake up call that I don't NEED the computer and online world as much as I think I do.
- It's time to make changes
We had a 'family meeting' where we discussed how our screen free week was going. I told my kids I thought they watched too much TV and they told me I spent too much time on the computer so we decided I wouldn't use the computer (except for work or briefly) during the day and our home would become TV free during the week. In the mornings I put out a box of toys or activity for them and in the afternoon we either go to the park or play some music and I've been surprised at how quickly we got used to this new way of life. I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to survive....but we are not just surviving we are thriving with our new limited screen time!
I have a feeling God has more to say to me on this subject after I read this article the other day but for now, we are making small changes to screen time for the benefit of our family and homeschool!

Roadmap 2030 - Financing and Implementing the Global Goals in Human Settlements and City-Regions by 2030
- Accra
The Roadmap2030 Report provides a very practical action plan to support the Habitat III process and New Urban Agenda into implementation. It shows how all municipal and city governments, citizens, civil society, academia, faiths and the private sector could work in partnership, with the support of nation states, at the required speed and effectiveness, to mobilize, redirect and unlock the transformative power of trillions of dollars of private funding resources and expertise to deliver on sustainable development objectives, Sendai Disaster Risk Reduction Framework and COP21 outcome in urban areas and build the New Urban Agenda. It also provides an action plan for national governments to create the enabling environment for this plan to succeed. It is written to apply to every urban area in the world. The second aim for the Roadmap2030 report is to be a comprehensive resource to provide links to existing programs, networks and support resources which can enable progress to be made more quickly in collaboration in all countries. The aim is to keep this Roadmap updated live online up to and beyond Habitat III as valuable new work emerges. It is aligned with the contents of Habitat III New Urban Agenda Zero Draft.
The critical element of this plan is the deployment of TEST's unique, already prototyped, open-source urban-rural integrated planning and investment software tool resilience.io, coupled with innovative financing models that together enable infrastructure investment to be risk assessed and scaled. resilience.io has been prototyped in the Greater Metropolitan area of Accra GAMA in Ghana, thanks to funding from DFID, for investment in the Water, Sanitation and Hygene sector. The work has enabled an investment plan to be developed to enable GAMA to reach SDG 6 targets by 2030. The reaction of the Mayor's office and Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development has been very positive. "resilience.io is a great thing for GAMA, a great thing for Ghana and I believe that it will be a great thing for Africa" Robert Ansah, Exec Sec to Mayor Accra. resilience.io is cloud-based, scalable regional software platform linked to earth systems models. It enables communities to gather earth observation, economic, social and environmental data in a crowd sourced manner and build a dynamic 3D systems visualization of their region, land and sea. A game-based version for schools will enable children to explore how resources and gases flow as a result of human and ecological activity in their neighborhood and what impact this has on their local health. resilience.io is a planning and decision making tool, loaded with social, environmental and economic data. The platform will be used to drive forward SDG objectives and indicators forward using dashboards and in doing so, monitoring of success becomes straightforward. The solution aims to support the delivery of the New Urban Agenda, SDG's,Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction and Paris Agreement GHG emissions reduction in all urban areas of the world, benefiting 5billion people by 2050. Investors and insurers can use the platform for impact investment and procure bankable integrated solutions, thus releasing more capital. Communities can evolve their platform for the long term with continuous improvement and learning from the knowledge platform. Local government departments and private sector can access resilience.io from any device to see if decisions are driving better outcomes against international standards and national or local goals. Every dollar invested can yield greater benefits because goals are delivered faster and at lower cost. The architecture of resilience.io has been built for adaptation to any location from both a socio-economic, resource and ecological perspective, so bespoke models for cities and their hinterland can be developed from satellite land use plans. See Peter Head explain the plan in a video
Resilience.io is a planning and decision making tool, loaded with social, environmental and economic data. The platform will be used to drive forward SDG objectives and indicators forward using dashboards and in doing so, monitoring of success becomes straightforward. 10/21
1. Resilience.io is designed to enable any city region to target delivery of SDG objectives for the residents, by making indicators clearly visible. For example, in Accra Ghana the prototype is being used to deliver SDG 6, the key human right to water and sanitation for everyone. The progress of achieving this using the UDIF can be monitored continuously through the entire program and appropriate action taken if needed. The full resilience.io platform will enable a full range of SDG objectives for human and ecological health and well-being to be monitored in any region and action taken on any shortfalls.
2. The rollout of the platform will be able to be monitored through a central management and software release system, with all active regions using it known at all times.
3. The Urban Development Investment Fund activity can be used to assess the amount of capital being released into city regions at all times and aggregated between countries to assess national, regional and global success.
4. The populations of the regions using the platform can be assessed from the multiple uses of resilience.io in use so as to create total population numbers impacted . In addition, the social and environmental impacts from the regional investments can be assessed from the platform metrics.
Our plan is to enable everyone to unleash this process in any community in the world , leaving no one behind, building safer, healthier, more productive and fulfilling lives.
The platform architecture of resilience.io consists of (a) Core Executive for agent based modelling, spatial data and visualizations, (b) Optimization Solver modelling resource flows across process networks (c) Data Storage, Entry, Security organization mechanism (d) GIS Data for third party analysis (e) Integrated Development Environment and repository for writing and debugging code online. Open-source components mean no licensing/ownership issues. A data and algorithm library covers socio-economic, ecological and resource conversion processes, eventually with 200 process blocks, for both developed and developing country perspectives on integrated human/ecological processes. The architecture has been built for adaptation to any location from both a socio-economic, resource and ecological perspective, so bespoke models for cities and their hinterland can be developed from satellite land use plans. The first step will be to build the full platform for testing in Ghana/USA/China/EU. In parallel our associated Urban Development and Investment Fund (UDIF) model will be used for project financing. Once testing is complete, resilience.io will be released to create a single demonstration region in most SDG signatory countries, which along with a commercial Regional Implementation Investment Fund (RIIF), will be used to scale resilience.io use sustainably across all urban areas in each country by recycling the value created.

Synopsis et détails: The film follows Darren (Oliver Ackland), a nice-enough high schooler who spends most of his time around computers and homework. He is the polar opposite of stepbrother Zack (Alex Russell), whose priority is maintaining a reputation as Mr. Popular. Things take a sinister turn when the shy Xandrie (Adelaide Clemens, a dead ringer for Michelle Williams) is invited to one of Zack's house parties and goes missing for almost a week afterwards. By the time she returns, the school is rife with rumours surrounding her disappearance, and Darren, suspecting his stepbrother and his nasty bunch of friends, decides to find out the truth and punish those responsible.

Gevey Sim Unlock For iPhone 4 Baseband 04.11.08 Is On The Road
There is good news for iPhone 4 users, unlocking tool Gevey Sim is on the finish. So, if you have updated your gadget to iOS 5 then you have to update iPhone 4 baseband 04.11.08 and enjoy it. We took that information from Facebook notice from AppleNBerry who was the developer of Gevey Sim unlocking tool for iPhone. That what they wrote:
I thought I made it clear, but I guess there are some miscommunications.
Good news, we are in the testing stage.
Bad news, I don't want to promise anyone and get flame.
It is very difficult to not offend anyone."
The current available version of Gevey SIM unlock unlocks all iPhone 4 basebands except that 4.11.08 baseband. There's no current solution that can unlock iPhone 4 baseband 4.11.08.
Gevey SIM 4.11.08 baseband solution for iOS 5 will be available sooner or later. There's no word on the release date. If the results of this testing phase goes well then we can expect a video demo followed by a release soon.
But as for me, I think that there is something wrong with that Gevey Sim and AppleNBerry just pull time to fix it. There also nothing heard about UltraSn0w unlock.
So no need to wait for UltraSn0w unlock because we will hardly see it. And if you are iPhone 4S user then we have good news for you too. Famous developer from iPhone Dev team was declared that they are working on tool to unlock iPhone 4S and we will see it very soon.
Update: There is information that you can try SAM unlock method to unlock 04.12.01 or other basebands. So it is no need to wait for Gevey SIM.

Evenhanded study of justice blindfolded by "a broad, omnipotent reading of the president's wartime authority."
There is some chicken and some egg in the question of why and how America embarked on the war on terror: Was Bush intent on going to war precisely in order to expand that authority, or did the authority necessarily expand to cover the comprehensive engagement of that war? Helen Thomas, the near-legendary correspondent and gadfly, has suggested the former, observing that she had never seen anyone so determined to go to war. Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times correspondent Lichtblau—who was the Los Angeles Times Justice Department reporter at the time of 9/11—seems less sure. However, his account of executive power begins with a stern warning—as it happens, from the chief of the Immigration and Naturalization Service at the time—that the Constitution prohibits much of the domestic program of the Bush administration, which for its part had been arguing from even before 9/11 that individual liberties, the Bill of Rights and other such legal provisions were mere niceties, disposable in the fight against the homeland's enemies. The press fell into line, Lichtblau observes, burying important stories about the law writ large, on drugs and inner-city violence and other concerns, in the interest of secrecy. One story that was so buried, he charges, concerned the "unusual arrangements that the Secret Service had made allowing one of President Bush's underage daughters—Jenna Bush, then nineteen—to make a bar-hopping trip south of the border"—and that less than a week before she was to appear in court in Texas on a charge of underage drinking. That was a trivial operation compared to others engineered by the administration, from the Valerie Plame affair to illegal wiretapping and financial investigations to the "324-page legislative grab bag" that was the Patriot Act, all of which Lichtblau visits in careful detail, recording the administration's relentless protests that making any such efforts public was tantamount to working for al-Qaeda. Even conservative legislators, Lichtblau writes in closing, now reject that sham excuse.
A sobering, saddening but altogether excellent book of legal reportage.

The tomboy look is usually mistaken as a style that is only worn by butch lesbians or girls that behave like men. A tomboy is a girl who acts or dresses in a boyish way. Tomboys are sometimes called hoydens or romps. Additionally girls or ladies who love this look are also sometimes mistaken as trying to be man, which entirely true there are a lot of straight women (heterosexuals) who sometimes feel like wearing male clothing or clothes that look masculine. It is not about trying to be man it's just about one's own personal preference or sense of style. Sometimes people dress according to how they feel or they like the tomboy look because it is comfortable or for various other reasons. Owing to this every individual has his/her own preference when it comes to style and it could vary based on a particular occasion or how you feel however sometimes people's dress sense varies according to the latest fashion trends. They want to keep up with recent trends.
Baggy jeans, male sweaters, tracksuit pants, Timberland boots or Bronx are the different clothes that epitomize the tomboy look. On the contrary, there are some aspects of the tomboy look that have become more acceptable as a fashion trend such as boyfriend jeans.
There was a period whereby the tomboy style was considered the in thing where ladies would wear baggy pants and Timberland boots. In the 80's artists such as TLC, Da Brat and Aaliyah were known for their style of choice which was the tomboy look. I think it's worthwhile to know that the tomboy look is still quit prevalent in 2013 people still love wearing the tomboy look. Moreover Ciara, Amber Rose and Rihanna just to name a few are well known people who are straight and they wear this look as an alternative style/dress sense hence the reason why I am say that the tomboy look is just a style preference and it sometimes has nothing to do about one's sexual orientation. It's about expressing yourself through clothing.

April 11, 2012 — Eight University of Virginia students are among approximately 575 U.S. undergraduate and graduate students who will go overseas this summer to study languages with Critical Language Scholarships from the United States Department of State.
These students will spend seven to 10 weeks in intensive language institutes and in cultural immersion in countries where these languages are spoken. Program participants are expected to continue their language study beyond the scholarship and apply their critical language skills in their future professional careers.
The students are:
• Rukhaiya Amir, 20, of St. Charles, Mo., a second-year South Asian language and literature major in the College of Arts & Sciences, who will study advanced Urdu in Lucknow, India.
• Ben Bissell, 20, of Fairfax Station, a third-year politics honors and Russian language and literature major in the College, who will study advanced Russian in Vladimir, Russia.
• James Duke, 19, of Sterling, a first-year student in the College, who will study Urdu in Lucknow, India, in a program hosted by American Institute of India Studies.
• Caroline Gonya, 21, of Baltimore, a third-year interdisciplinary studies major in the College, who will study advanced Hindi in Jaipur, India.
• Anna Morgan Lewis, 21, of Norfolk, a third-year foreign affairs and Middle Eastern studies double major, with a French minor, in the College, who will study Arabic in North Africa.
• Natasha L. Mikles, 25, of Murrells Inlet, S.C., a first-year doctoral student in religious studies focusing on Sino-Tibetan Buddhism, in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, who will study advanced Chinese in Beijing.
• Daniel Ng, 19, of West Windsor, N.J., a first-year student in the College planning to major in statistics and global development studies, who will study beginning Bangla in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
• John Joseph Vater, 21, of Oklahoma City, a third-year modern studies in English and South Asian studies major in the College, who will study advanced Urdu in Lucknow, India.
"I am delighted that so many U.Va. students have been selected for this wonderful program," said Lucy Russell, director of U.Va.'s Center for Undergraduate Excellence. "The opportunity to study these languages intensively in the countries where they are spoken is unmatched."
The Critical Language Scholarship Program is part of the U.S. government's effort to expand dramatically the number of Americans studying and mastering critical foreign languages. Its institutes provide fully funded, group-based intensive language instruction and structured cultural enrichment experiences for U.S. citizen undergraduate and graduate students studying Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bangla/Bengali, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Turkish and Urdu.
Nationally, those selected for the 2012 program hail from all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia and represent 239 institutions of higher education nationwide.

San Joaquin Valley military veterans learned today that a new clinic will be built to serve their needs.
Capital Public Radio's Rich Ibarra reports that veterans say the facility has been talked about for at least ten years.
Congressman Jerry McNerney of Stockton announced to a room full of veterans that the goal is finally in sight.
Congress appropriated the money for a 158,000 square foot clinic in French Camp and McNerney says the groundbreaking will come in January 2017.
"It'll provide mental health, dental, eye care, radiology, laboratory, and many other services. It'll serve as many as 87,000 veterans around the Central Valley."
Vietnam veteran Tino Adame says the need is growing not just for older vets but those who have served recently in the Middle East and elsewhere.
"As these younger vets start coming back home, they'll definitely be a big need for them."
Future plans include a 120-bed Community Living Center.

SSI Dive Courses
"I looked into the sea with the same sense of trespass that I have felt on every dive. A modest canyon opened below, full of dark green weeds, black sea urchins and small flower like white algae. Fingerlings browsed the scene. The sand sloped down into a clear, blue infinity. The sun struck so brightly I had to squint. My arms hanging at my sides, I kicked the fins languidly and traveled down, gaining speed, watching the beach reeling past. I stopped kicking and the momentum carried me on a fabulous glide."
- Jacques Cousteau on his first scuba dive in 1943
You can read alot about the levels of scuba diving. It comes down to a matter of three areas, Recreational, Technical and Professional. Recreational is any level of diver from Open Water Diver to Master Diver who dives for fun. Professional is from Divemaster to Instructor Trainer and get paid for doing something they love. In general, technical diving can be considered any sort of diving (that is not commercial diving) that allows a diver to safely exceed recreational dive limits by using advanced procedures and equipment.
If you have never dove before or have just begun and want to learn more, click here to read about the various Recreational Diving Courses which you can take to advance your diving knowledge.
If you have been diving a while and love diving so much you want to share your love with new divers, then becoming a dive professional may be for you. Click here to find out more about the different dive professional levels.
Neither Jill or I teach technical diving, but after taking specialties like Deep Diving, Limited Visibility, Night and Wreck and your interest in learning more about decompression diving and wreck penetration, contact your local SSI Scuba Shop for more information or go to http://www.divessi.com/txr

Cognitive scientist Gerd Gigerenzer says that because we haven't learned statistical thinking, we don't understand risk and uncertainty. In order to assess risk -- everything from the risk of an automobile accident to the certainty or uncertainty of some common medical screening tests -- we need a basic understanding of statistics.
Astonishingly, doctors and lawyers don't understand risk any better than anyone else. Gigerenzer reports a study in which doctors were told the results of breast cancer screenings and then were asked to explain the risks of contracting breast cancer to a woman who received a positive result from a screening. The actual risk was small because the test gives many false positives. But nearly every physician in the study overstated the risk. Yet many people will have to make important health decisions based on such information and the interpretation of that information by their doctors.
Gigerenzer explains that a major obstacle to our understanding of numbers is that we live with an illusion of certainty. Many of us believe that HIV tests, DNA fingerprinting, and the growing number of genetic tests are absolutely certain. But even DNA evidence can produce spurious matches. We cling to our illusion of certainty because the medical industry, insurance companies, investment advisers, and election campaigns have become purveyors of certainty, marketing it like a commodity.
To avoid confusion, says Gigerenzer, we should rely on more understandable representations of risk, such as absolute risks. For example, it is said that a mammography screening reduces the risk of breast cancer by 25 percent. But in absolute risks, that means that out of every 1,000 women who do not participate in screening, 4 will die; while out of 1,000 women who do, 3 will die. A 25 percent risk reduction sounds much more significant than a benefit that 1 out of 1,000 women will reap.
This eye-opening book explains how we can overcome our ignorance of numbers and better understand the risks we may be taking with our money, our health, and our lives.

They are on the outside of the hair growth. I had this for a few months now and I hopped it would go away but now I am getting them in my other armpit.

The BookLikes companion to The Romance Evangelist (mharvey816.mh2.org).
Reviewer for Seductive Musings, Night Owl Reviews, and Romancing Rakes For the Love of Romance.
I live for the HEA/HFN and am decidedly pro-epilogue.
A copy of this book was provided to me by the author for an honest review at Seductive Musings.
On the surface, the premise of Skye Warren's ON THE WAY HOME seems simple. Clint is a soldier returning from a recent tour in Afghanistan, where he's witnessed the worst of humanity, thanks to the undercover operation he was supporting there. Now all he wants to do is get back to a normal life, although he's not quite sure if it's still there for him. Della is the flight attendant on his plane home who has been warned she can only save her captive sister if Clint is handed over as compensation. Fate practically delivers him into her hands without much effort on her part. But how can she give this handsome stranger to someone she knows will kill him? And what will happen if she changes her mind?
There have been so many dark and angsty New Adult romances released in the past few years that I've just about sworn off them for good. But the beauty of reading is that there's always at least one writer out there who can make me love something I've vowed to hate forever. And apparently for dark and angsty New Adult romance, that writer is Skye Warren. Della's tragic history is never played for sympathy or cheap sentiment, only as a necessary backdrop to why she would even consider turning Clint over to a known murderer. Clint is shown as the more sympathetic character whose weariness has caused him to let down his emotional guard, however briefly, and his temporary weakness may well be a fatal misstep. But when Della decides to reach out just once to take what she sees within him, it's the shock of their unusually compatible souls recognizing each other that forces the reader to cheer for them both to prevail. The road to their happy ending takes a series of twists and turns that might seem improbable in a less skilled writer's hands, but it all makes sense by the end, and that feeling of rightness makes the journey there worthwhile and completely satisfying. Their road to love was dark, but not too dark, and it was beautiful to see Della and Clint both find security and happiness in each other. ON THE WAY HOME is yet another extraordinary story from Skye Warren and I loved every moment of it.
Overall: 5
Sensuality level: 3.5

This week's Tueaday Tell-All is telling you all about my favorite summer treat. It took me all of 1/8th of 1 second to know exactly what I wanted to share with my friends. I think about and crave it all year long. It can only be purchased around the end of July through August. I am a fresh corn on the cob addict. And as such, I'm also very picky about my corn on the cob. I only buy fresh Utah corn from the little stands you see everywhere. In case you are unfamiliar, let me enlighten you: They pick the corn so fresh, like the morning of, and drive it up from the nearby farms by 10:00 every day. There's a nice lady or man who has the fabulous job of sitting by those stands all day waiting for people to buy their produce. I will admit, I almost always skip over the tasty peaches and watermelon. I have eyes for only one thing: my yummy Utah corn. I love the Utah corn because you don't even have to cook it. You could eat it right there at the produce stand if you wanted to. But you don't want to. You have to take it home and throw it in boiling water just long enough for it to get hot. And it has to be hot because the best part is rolling it in your butter dish. You roll it and roll it until it's coated with real butter. Then you get a napkin handy because you KNOW you're going to soon have melted butter dripping down to your elbows. Lean WAY over your plate (so as not to drip on your cute jeans) and bite in. The kernals begin popping in your mouth, squirting your tongue with sweet corn juice. And real butter. Mmmm, mleh. Now I'm drooling. Better run to the produce stand...

Our Camping Trip
Vince got a holiday from work for Pioneer Day. We decided we just haven't been camping enough yet this Summer, so we packed EVERYTHING up we could think of in the back of the truck and hauled it all up to the mountains. We originally wanted to try a little reservoir with campsites right by the water, but of course, being a State Holiday, there was no room left in any of the best campgrounds. We drove around a few minutes before deciding on a very cute little spot with lots of trees, and four, count them FOUR secret hiding spots for the kids (complete with secret passwords you had to repeat each time you entered their lairs). As an added bonus, the campsite was right next to a little stream the kids enjoyed immensely. We set up camp Thursday afternoon and relaxed with steak & potatoes and s'mores, of course.
Friday morning we loaded up and headed to the lake to try out the fishing. Here's a picture of the lake:
And the kids fishing:
But it was WWAAAYYY too crowded there, so we went to a more secluded spot for our picnic lunch:
After we got back to our campsite, we wandered back behind the campgrounds to try to find the river that we heard the night before. We tried fishing all along the way, and finally found one little successful spot:
Vince caught a little one:
Vince's sister, Shalon & her boyfriend, Skylar met us that night. On Saturday we went for a little hike (away from all the hordes of people) and got to this pretty little blue lake:

I've seen this on several of my siblings' blogs, and it looks like such fun that I thought I'd give it a whirl:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Hogge Reunion
I'm so slow. It's been TWO WEEKS since we've been back from our trip, and I'm just now finishing up this post. I don't have all the pictures I'd like; I didn't take any skiing pictures with my camera. So I'll post those when I get them from my in-laws. But at least for now I wanted you to see what fun we had in the GORGEOUS lake we got to play in.
Here I am (blue scarf) riding in the boat with my nephew, Trevor on my lap. Marjorie (my fabulous mother-in-law) and Alisa (Vince's sister) and her son Colten are behind me.
And here's Vince in the boat with the gorgeous lake behind him.
We rode the boat on Monday all together to start on the trail that goes up to The Falls above The Lake. It's a short, easy trail, so even the kids enjoy hiking up to the falls. And there was SO MUCH water this year--more than anyone had seen, and the Hogges have been coming to The Lake for, over 30 years? I don't even know how long. Generations, I guess we can say!
Vince & I with our kids and my niece Emma at the Falls. You can't see it in this picture, but we were up this close for just a few minutes, and came down DRENCHED--the spray was so intense. But it felt fabulous because it was such a hot day hiking up.
Vince & the kids at The Falls:
And me:
This is the view looking the opposite direction towards The Lake--gorgeous, no?
And of course, everyone has to pose with this beautiful scenery:
The whole Hogge clan hiking back down the trail:
Our children enjoying the traditional s'mores by the campfire:
I loved that Evan had one in each hand and was devouring his tasty treat:
The only bummers of The Lake were:
1. Mosquitos! Those nasty bugs were so vicious this year. We had to head to town after two days because we'd gone through about 4 cans of bug spray. We literally got out of our tent and had to spray immediately or we'd be eaten alive. Yucky!
2. The rain. We love skiing--sunrise to sunset. We got about 1 1/2 really good days, and then the other two we got half or full day of steady rain. Everything was wet by the time we got home. But those few days we had were well worth it!
For the rest of our stay, we went back to Vince's parents' house and ride the four-wheeler, the horses, lit fireworks, hiked, and went fishing. I'm not much of a fisherwoman. I had a negative fishing experience last summer that resulted in me paying a tremendous fine for dipping my son's "Lightning McQueen" fishing pole in a lake. But I decided to give it another try this year (legally, of couse--I did learn my lesson). Most of the experience was spent swatting more blood-thirsty bugs and stepping in muddy black swamp water. But it was worth it in the end because I got some darling pictures of my in-laws:
And the kids:
And the lovely scenery (this was the point at which I was bored):
But mostly because Vince is a good fisher:
And then we let him go. (He swam away VERY fast!):
But here are the pictures of the fish that got away:
Better luck next time!
It was a wonderful trip. Can't wait to go back again next year!!
