Black Man's Case Dismissed: White DC Cop Wore Racist Shirt to Court [racist cops are Not credible witnesses or public servants]/
Extrinsic Evidence of Bias is Always Relevant & Admissible. Racist Cops are Persons Who Hate Blacks & Are Therefore Not Credible Witnesses [not believable]. In a civillized society all of this racist cop's arrests & previous cases would now be subject to review. All racists are liars. The system of racism/white supremacy is carried out through deception & violence. Racism is the opposite of justice. It is an oxymoron to say "racist police." Racist cop or race soldier or mercenary security guard are more accurate terms.
From [HERE] and [HERE] A D.C. judge dismissed a gun possession case amid questions over whether the arresting officers wore or had any role in the creation of a controversial racist T-shirt printed with the name of their police unit, an image of the Grim Reaper and a symbol that is racist.
The decision came Tuesday as the trial was set to begin for 24-year-old Carlos Johnson, a Black man, who allegedly was found carrying a 9mm handgun last December. He had previously pleaded guilty in a case of assault with a dangerous weapon, a case that involved a gun.
D.C. Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan rejected a request by [white] prosecutors to delay the trial until an internal police investigation into the T-shirts has been completed. The judge dismissed the case without prejudice, meaning authorities can recharge Johnson.
The T-shirt came to light last month after an officer on the Powershift team in the 7th Police District was seen wearing it inside D.C. Superior Court at a restaurant over his uniform. Police officials pronounced it "disturbing," suspended that officer and opened the internal investigation.
The two officers involved in Johnson's arrest are members of the same Powershift unit, which patrols high-crime areas for weapon recovery and drug activity - areas populated by non-white people.
On the day before Johnson's trial (July 30), was to begin, prosecutors sent an email to the defense saying it was "possible" that one of those officers had a role in designing the shirt. In the email, which was included in the court file, prosecutors called the information "hearsay" (that came from them after they received it from DC Police) and said they were investigating the allegation.
In court hearings that stretched over Monday and Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kate Rakoczy told the judge that it was unclear whether either of the officers involved in Johnson's case had worn the T-shirt. But to make sure, she wanted to wait until police completed their inquiry. [wait while Johnson remained locked up].
"The government very much wants this matter to be thoroughly and effectively investigated so MPD can make the decisions it needs to make about what's appropriate so that we can decide what to do with this information with our own cases," Rakoczy said, according to a transcript of the proceedings.
Making the Johnson case more challenging, Rakoczy told the judge, was that officers in the Powershift unit have consulted attorneys who advised them not to discuss the T-shirt. She asked that the Johnson trial be rescheduled to October.
Johnson's attorney, William Alley, of the Public Defender Service, opposed a delay. He indicated that he wanted to determine whether there was any bias against Johnson, who is African American, and sought to have the officers questioned about the meaning and origin of the shirt, according to court documents and transcripts of the proceedings.
At one point, Alley suggested that prosecutors could ask the officers "what they know about this investigation, about this T-shirt, who was involved, who designed it, who owns it, who wears it and provide all that information to us today so that we could be ready to move forward with trial."
Raffinan considered delaying the trial for a few weeks, but prosecutors said that would not be enough time. The judge said that waiting months for the T-shirt investigation to wrap up would not be fair to Johnson, who had been jailed awaiting trial.
"I don't think that lengthy of a continuance so that the investigation can be concluded, in exercising my judgment, is fair, equitable in these circumstances," Raffinan said.
In an interview Friday, D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham, also a racist suspect, said the investigation "will find out what happened here. Was it was one officer, more than one officer, supervisor problems?" Police said the inquiry must be completed within 90 days.
Newsham cautioned against reading too broadly into the dismissal of the gun case, saying it does not necessarily indicate the potential for more cases to be affected. The chief called the government's request for a delay reasonable and said the judge denied it "without any consideration for the impact on public safety." [it is unsafe to have racist public servants [persons who hate Blacks] roaming the streets that they are sworn to protect and serve]
Newsham said the ADL had briefed the department on possible interpretations of the cross. But he said that even without the cross, he finds the T-shirt inappropriate attire for an on-duty police officer.
"Any shirt that causes a rift with the community is a problem for me," Newsham said. "It's poor judgment, at the least. Most of our officers on a daily basis exercise very good judgment under very difficult circumstances."
The black T-shirt has the Grim Reaper as its centerpiece, holding what appears to be a rifle with the District of Columbia flag attached. At the top is the word "Powershift," with a pre-Christian style of cross embedded in a circle.
There are various interpretations of that symbol. Several hate groups have appropriated the cross as part of their symbology. It also appears in the lettering of a popular computer gaming company, and some have suggested it might represent the crosshairs of a gun scope.
Law for Black Lives, a group of legal professionals affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement, filed the formal police complaint after an officer was seen wearing a shirt with the symbol. In its complaint, Law for Black Lives said the cross symbol was adopted by the Ku Klux Klan and "promotes white supremacist ideologies."
The image on the T-shirt also includes a police badge and the phrase, "Let me see that waistband jo," an apparent reference to "jump outs," a long decried, and police say now defunct, practice of police jumping out of cars to round up people. The shirt's wording; "jo" is mocking a slang expression used by black youths in D.C.
Dustin Sternbeck, the chief spokesman for the D.C. police department, said nine officers are assigned to the 7th District's Powershift, which generally works at night and patrols some of the city's most violent areas, including Anacostia, Barry Farm, Naylor Gardens and Washington Highlands. One of the officers, the person who was the subject of the complaint, is on desk duty and barred from having interactions with the public.
A representative from the police union also declined to comment. Neither the officer who is the subject of the police complaint nor the officers involved in Johnson's arrest could be reached for comment.

LOMA LINDA – The city has successfully wrapped up negotiations with employee unions, averting pay cuts that were originally proposed to balance the budget.
However, difficult choices remain in coming days.
City officials are still considering laying off two employees in the community development and finance departments as part of a budget-balancing package.
The council last week ratified new contracts with firefighters and other employees that will run through June 30.
Mayor Stan Brauer last week praised the "spirit of cooperation" and professional way that employees handled the labor negotiations.
"It is a tough situation," Brauer said. "There's no two ways about it. I am very proud of our staff and employees who I think really stepped up to the plate."
The agreements call for reduced work hours and cuts in holiday pay and benefits for employees.
Most City Hall workers will have their workday shortened by half an hour.
As a result, City Hall will now close 30 minutes earlier, at 5 p.m. instead of 5:30 p.m. City Hall is open Monday through Thursday.
The furloughs and cuts in holiday pay will achieve roughly the same savings as the 5-percent across-the-board pay cuts that employee unions resisted, officials said.
In order to balance the budget, city staff members proposed cutting spending by nearly $645,000. They also reduced sales tax estimates by $228,000 because of the down economy.
Staffers are recalculating the budget numbers now that the union contracts have been approved.
Council members hope to adopt the 2009-2010 budget July 28.
Councilman Ovidiu Popescu said it's important for Loma Linda to live within its means by passing a balanced budget.
"The citizens expect city services to be run efficiently and that we invest their tax dollars in improving the long-term financial health of the city," Popescu said.

It's January, which, for those of us who haven't yet come to terms with our laziness and apathy towards positive change, means a hastily thought-out list of embarrassing and unattainable goals disguised as 'resolutions'.
The kind of promises that are definitely going to mock you when you fail to achieve even the simplest of them by the end of the month (and, to be frank, probably already are).
Lucky for you, there are people like me: the kind who have embraced their failures and decided the best way to haul themselves head-first into the oncoming year is not with a desire to change, diminish or shrink themselves, but with compassion and understanding (in other words, eating carbs and continuing to watch exactly the same amount of television as they did in 2018).
It was in this spirit that I found myself Googling 'most popular new year resolutions', from which I found what I'm sure is a wildly inaccurate list of those attempted in 2018.
I decided to use this list as a template for a sort of alternative resolution guide for 2019, because life can be difficult and exhausting, and if you need to treat yourself to a beer, or a chocolate-chip cookie, or an entire Christmas ham at the end of the day, then girl you should just go ahead and have it.
The beauty of the phrase 'eat better' is that you can twist it to fit whatever your needs.
Maybe to you, 'eat better' means 'buy fresh parmesan instead of the dusty kind in a packet', or 'get truffle fries instead of the plain ones'. I'm sure when most people make goals to eat better, they mean including more leafy greens in their diets.
Sure, you can do that if it makes you feel good, but why not also swap out the cheap ice cream for the super-creamy, expensive kind? Or maybe you can use up the buckwheat you bought and swore you were going to cook, or find a way to incorporate those exotic spices you received as a gift and have never used into a meal?
I don't want to sound corny and dramatic, but sometimes just preparing your own food is like a revolutionary act of self-love. Yes, I have low standards, but I also get a little burst of pride from being able to properly chop and whisk and sear a thing that tastes good without burning down my entire neighbourhood.
Again, another hollow platitude that can either mean 'meditate for several hours a week and sign up for the sweaty kind of yoga' or, as I like to interpret it, 'sit in the dark listening to true-crime podcasts and scrolling through Instagram'.
The commodified view of self-care seems to always involve luxury bath salts and fancy skin serums, and I'm super into that – but if it's not your thing, it doesn't matter.
If, for you, self-care involves turning your phone off and watching movies in bed, then great, do more of it.
Say kind things to yourself.
Pull out all your tucked- away special-occasion clothes and actually wear them.
Avoid talking to anyone who stresses you out.
Clean and/or organise one thing in your home, because huge projects are just overwhelming, and why doesn't anyone ever admit that?
You can either say you're going to deep clean your entire home and actually just spend the day weeping at your failure to get it all done, or you can fold some towels and put them away in the airing cupboard while listening to a podcast and be proud of your accomplishment.
And if people give you a hard time, just shout, 'I CARE ABOUT MYSELF, OK?!' until they get off your damn back.
I know a lot of random things, but very few of my skills can produce something that serves any actual purpose.
Every now and then, I wish I could be the kind of person who knits her own jumpers. Then I remember how irritated I was when I watched a tutorial to make a scarf and messed it up, and pat myself on the back for being smart enough to quit while I am ahead.
So instead of frustrating yourself, think of something you already know how to do and get a little better at it. Love cutting your own fringe? Perfect, cut it a little shorter!
Cooked a chicken once without burning it? Make another, but squeeze a lemon on it.
You are very good at doing things.
How is one supposed to actually do this?
I don't participate in any group activity other than live-tweeting the same shows as other people I know on the internet. So how am I meant to meet friends IRL?
Every year, I hear people say they're going to make new friends, and I think, 'I can try that!' and minutes later I'm like, 'BUT WHERE?'
This feels like an awful lot of pressure.
So I propose that this year we start reaching out to all the long-lost friends we already have, and actually see them instead of getting stuck in a vortex of WhatsApps promising to meet up and never actually doing it.
As a writer and avid book recommender, I read a lot.
Not as much as I say I do, but nonetheless I compile an impressive annual list.
Yet even as someone who knows what they want in a book, I've read so many that I didn't want to, either because I thought it made me look cool or might impress someone I wanted to sleep with.
Here's a bit of advice that you might be inclined to use: read books you like and don't read what you don't.
If you told me I had to limit my reading to dictionary-thick history books, I would scoop my eyes out and throw them away.
So I read what I want and, if someone else is paying attention, pretend I'm reading something smart. What are they gonna do, ask for a book report?
Happy is one of those things we strive to be, without acknowledging it's different for us all. (For me, it would be lazing around cat-like for 22 hours a day.)
Happiness is excellent and, if you've got some, please rub a little on me.
But we rarely get permission to be all the other things: bummed out, exhausted, irritated, perplexed.
Just once, I wanna talk to someone who vows to kick off the new year in a full-tilt rage.
Maybe this will finally be the year they figure out how to put happiness in a pill. I'm mostly kidding.
Happy new year!

It's been a little while since Christmas although the weather has been more Christmas like only a few weeks ago as it was relatively mild at Christmas. For garden centres that period was extremely important as the sales of garden plants, garden tools and log cabins are not on top of the purchasing agenda at that time. That is the time for Christmas decorations, Christmas special foods and gardening presents and, just, maybe a new garden shed,
From the start of November the garden centres are transformed onto delightful Christmasy areas to make us feel in the mood. Many garden centres will have a Father Christmas in a Grotto to attract the children and this is where the garden shed comes in useful again. Decorated up with streamers and Christmas lights and with a door hiding away Father Christmas children get excited about the 'big man'.
With the large amount of stock arriving for this period a large area is required for storing these items and the large sheds out the back can play a role in this. This makes the shed feel a little less unloved and allows the shed to feel part of the Christmas festivities – at least that what it may feel if the shed was real, but of course it's not. But then is Father Christmas real – that's the question.
To ensure the largest number of visitors to the garden centres they employ various different schemes to encourage visitors to spend their money. To this end a garden centre in Cornwall had decided against the traditional choice of animal, the reindeer, and decided upon camels to make their garden centre stand out from the 'norm.'. Trelawney Garden Centre took the view that this unusual choice would encourage festive shoppers to come to their garden centre in preference to others. Hopefully these will then spend their money on the many festive gifts, bargain plants and examine the garden sheds and summer houses on display.
Kevin Roberts, the marketing manager for the garden centre, said that they wanted something different from reindeers and something which would make them stand out from the 'run of the mill' garden centres who choose boring old reindeers (what would Rudolph think if he could read this?) He went on to say that their theme was the Spirit of Christmas as a 'back to basics' because of the credit crunch. Obviously camels featured very strongly in the story of baby Jesus and he had to be born in a manger in a stable, not dissimilar to a large garden shed for horses, so really back to basics at the start of his life.
At that time of year gardening and wildlife go together with many gardeners encouraging wild animals by leaving wild areas and space underneath their garden sheds so these animals can find shelter. This is just one of the roles which the garden shed fulfils even in the depth of winter. Maybe you can do this down in Portsmouth as well.

Quick answer
Active sensors
Active motion detectors put out a signal that is disrupted by movement—when someone crosses the path of this signal, the sensor is triggered and an alarm goes off.
Passive sensors
Most passive motion detectors used in homes have passive infrared (PIR) sensors. PIR sensors are sensitive to infrared radiation so they detect body heat and notice abrupt changes in temperature.
Get the details
Active motion sensors send out a signal. Then if someone moves within range of that sensor, the signal is disturbed and the alarm is triggered. Active motion sensors often use radar to send out ultrasonic waves or microwaves, but they sometimes use other types of active signals.
Photosensors are also active motion sensors. They emit light (for example, a laser), and then if something blocks that light the sensor is triggered.
Passive motion sensors pick up infrared signals put off by body heat. If the sensor notices an infrared energy, the motion detector is triggered and an alarm may sound. These sensors are sensitive to sudden temperature changes, so avoid placing them close to heating vents.
What happens when a motion sensor is triggered?
What happens after a motion sensor is triggered will depend on your setup.
- Best-case scenario: your motion sensors are part of a professionally monitored security system. In that case, the monitoring center will notice the alarm and send help to your home even if you aren't available.
- If you've got a smart sensor that isn't part of a security system, you'll still get a notification on your mobile device. Then you can decide what to do next, whether that is hurry home, call the police, or ask a neighbor to check on your house.
- If you have a basic motion sensor with a built-in siren you must be around to hear that alarm and take yourself.
Placement tips
Motion sensors work best if they're placed correctly. Follow these tips to prevent false alarms and make sure your motion sensors are effective as possible.
- Keep PIR motion sensors away from heat sources to avoid false alarms.
- Install sensors near entryways and walking paths where people are most likely to pass.
- Place sensors higher up to reduce the chances of a pet setting them off.
Pro Tip
Check to see if your motion detector has adjustable sensitivity settings. If you notice that your pet is triggering false alarms, you may be able to adjust your sensor.
Security motion detector recommendations

Motion detectors and security systems
A motion sensor is most useful if it is paired with a monitored security system. That way if the alarm is triggered, someone can send help as quickly as possible. Looking for a security system with great motion sensors? Check out Vivint or Frontpoint.

Governor of Ebonyi State, David Nweze Umahi has said that Information Communication Technology has an important role to play in advancing the growth and development of Nigeria's economy.
Speaking at the 79th edition of the Consumer Outreach Programme organised by the Nigerian Communication Commission in Abakaliki with the theme: "Information and Education as a catalyst for Consumer protection", the governor said the opportunities offered by the new media if well harnessed can put the nation on a path to economic revitalization.
He said:"If the NCC as the ombudsman could properly regulate unsolicited text messages, ring tunes and arbitrary reductions of monies by service providers from users, it will be a catalyst for economic growth."
Represented by his Deputy, Barr. Kelechi Igwe, the Governor expressed dismay over the way and manner the service providers treat their customers most often without apology.
This he said posed great consequences to the growth of the industry.
He also blamed ignorance on the part of the consumers for some of the alleged misconducts of service providers, saying, "So, I think that these complaints are what NCC as a body has to look at with a view to encouraging the service providers to resolve the issues."
He said that the state government as a result of its unequivocal commitment to developing the ICT sector established the Ebonyi Telecom Infrastructure Compliance Agency to ensure legal and proper ways of developing Telecom infrastructure in the state.
In his address, the Director, Consumer Affairs Bureau in the NCC, Abdullahi Maikano represented by his deputy, Joseph Atoyebi said the commission identified Consumer education as one of the most-effective mechanism that provides and guarantees consumer protection.
He stated that to ensure that the telecoms consumer are well protected, informed and educated, the commission had developed series of initiatives with the main goal of empowering consumers with appropriate information that will ensure that their rights were not only protected but their choices provide them with value for money.
He further stressed that the commission recognized that the rights of every telecoms Consumer must be protected and one of the fundamental rights of the telecom consumer was the right to be informed and educated.

Mid-Lighting Is the Hair Color Secret We All Need to Know About
Getting highlights always poses a risk: You won't get what you're looking for. We're not here for the streaky and stripe-y, but the natural and sun-kissed. That's why when we heard about the hottest hair highlighting technique trending right now, called mid-lighting, we were intrigued. Allegedly, it serves as the proverbial middle ground, the happy medium, needed to take your hair color from flat to fab. Here's what we know.
The game, in a refreshing turn of events, is actually in the name. A mid-light is the color that blends your base color to your highlight, creating a natural finish that doesn't look straight from the bottle. So if you're a natural brown-blonde base, but want to lighten things up with butter blonde highlights, some golden or honey blonde mid-lights will do the trick.
Mid-lighting makes things like base bumps (i.e. when you have to lighten your base color so that the highlights you want actually blend) or the alternative, cringe-worthy striped highlights that result from your base color being too dark for your highlights, totally unnecessary. The mid-light is like the middle child, often overlooked yet unmatched at the art of keeping the peace while being biologically sandwiched between two dissimilar siblings.
Perfect for blondes, brunettes, and redheads alike, mid-lighting just might signal the end of all bad highlight jobs. (It's about time.) Here are our favorite mid-light muses we're taking to the salon this year.
Warm Butter
Colorist Matt Rez convinced us of the power of mid-lights on his Instagram alone. "Having enough warmth, not only does it tie the look together, but it gives it more of a pop because it is a balance of tones. You have your warm, your neutral, and your cool," he told Instyle. Blending light butter blonde highlights with warmer blonde mid-lights ensures a balanced finish that doesn't make the hair color look too obvious on a dirty blonde base.
Why not put a few strokes of honey here, a few ribbons of dark caramel there? Tortoiseshell hair is a mixture of dark shades and touches of warm caramel, honey, and gold—meaning it's basically made for mid-lighting.
Creamy Beige
This bright beige borders on the trending hue, cream soda, thanks to the mix of warmer golden blonde mid-lights and platinum blonde highlights. The trick is starting with a neutral bronde base that's neither too warm nor too cool in tone.
Rusty Bronde
Can you successfully blend shades of deep rust, chestnut brown, and warm golden blonde without it sending everyone into a tailspin? Yes, apparently. This multi-dimensional color catches the light in a big way.
Bronde Babylights
This perfect blend of neutral brown and warm blonde makes us just as ready for sun-kissed summer days as breezy autumn nights. It's a transitional color that caters to natural brunettes that want to lighten things up.
Bright Copper
This fiery approach features heavier strokes than some mid-lighting, but the combination of the deep red base with bright copper mid-lights and warm strawberry blonde highlights hits all the right notes.
Pearly Ash
This blonde blend is all about keeping the tones cool and neutral, though mid-lighting often calls for a slightly warmer tone to tie it all together. In this case, subtle honey and dirty blonde mid-lights connect ashy roots to pearl blonde highlights.
Chestnut Swirl
It doesn't get any warmer than this combo of deep chocolate, chestnut brown, and rich caramel. That's a lot of personality packed into a classic short bob cut, and we're thinking this is the perfect shade for fall.
Champagne Blonde
This blonde blend is fizzy and light. Warmer blonde base tones are blended into buttery mid-lights and champagne blonde highlights for a bright finish we're loving for summertime.
Caramel Melt
This rooty caramel color melds a warm chocolate base and bright blonde-caramel ends with neutral brown and deep caramel mid-lighting. Some babylights at the roots tie it all together.
Rich Honey
This sun-kissed blend is all about keeping things super warm and natural. The darker base needs lighter brown and dirty blonde mid-lights to marry golden-honey blonde highlights. Without it, the mane screams "fresh from the box," not from the beach.
Toffee Brown
Make even the deepest mocha brown look naturally sun-kissed (and not stripe-y!) with chestnut mid-lights that give way to warm toffee and golden caramel balayage highlights. The upper root section gets some love too, making it look less stark than a gradient ombré finish.

30 hand-picked films. A new one every day
Aiming to hasten an uprising, the leader of an underground rebellion dispatches acrobatic assassin Aeon Flux to eliminate the government's top leader in this futuristic thriller based on the popular animated MTV show.
How could I not love this...? Theron/ Kusama/ Dryburgh/ Anne Hurd/ Honess/ McDormand Okonedo/ Post-Let-H-wait-E <3
Na, na, na, na. You don't get away with it, just by casting Charlize Theron. You still have to make a movie. It was tough because Aen Flux was an absurdist, experimental character, pretty much without dialog, in a nonsense world, that died in every episode - the perfect anti-heroine. She never got the job done. For the film, the character would have to be made from scratch. One alternative would be a black comedy.
Release Kusama's cut!
Charlize Theron is a great lead - let down by the script more than anything.
If they spent as much on the writers as they did on the production design, they might of had something.
This feels/looks like a film that should have ardent defenders.
Yes, it's trash but at least it is self knowing trash. It also has a very flexible Charlize Theron.

Hey everyone!!!
My favourite kind of posts/blogs to read are the more "intrusive" "nosey" ones like a "What's in my bag" or "What's in my shower" I think they are super fun to read and I thought why not share one with you all:)
1)OGX Shampoo And Conditioner
I have to admit I like using matching shampoo and conditioner because I feel like they are meant to go together.
I did notice a lot of hair fall when I was using the L'Oréal Shampoo and Conditioner it just didn't work my hair texture and that one of the main reasons I switched and started using OGX products,I not only noticed dramatic reduction in the hair fall but it improved the overall smoothness and texture of my hair and I loved the after scent of this post shower,it smells absolutely amazing and I've had people tell me how great my hair smells so this definitely is something worth a try:)
2)The Body Shop Shower Gel and The Body Shop Scrub
When it comes to shower gel and body scrub I can't think of any other brand but "The Body Shop".I've been using them for years and literally going back and forth between "strawberry" and "cherry blossom".It lathers up really well and gets the skin squeaky clean.I'm all about the smell so the strawberry scent that lingers on your skin post shower is something I love.
The Body Shop Scrub I use with the exfoliating gloves and this is good if you are prone to having ingrown hair,a nice exfoliation will definitely reduce the ingrowth and get rid of dead skin.
3)Dr Sheth's Brightening Cleanser
My skin is pretty sensitive and of late I've noticed a bit of break out and I was looking for something mild and also good cleanser for acne prone skin and I was using the Cetaphil Cleanser before switching to Dr Sheths Cleanser since this line is crafted by a Dermatologist I was leaning more towards it and I loved it.
It has these rosehip seed extracts with vitamin E to repair the skin.It can get a little drying after wash so you need to moisturise your face post cleansing and I wish the bottle was bigger,but besides that the Cleanser works really well.
I hope you enjoyed reading this quick blog and I will catch you guys soon:)
Have a good day!

Somewhere at CES, deep between the dozens (and dozens…and dozens…) of cheap plastic iPhone 5 cases, iPad stands, and other accessories is a booth featuring a new brand of eco-friendly headphones and speakers developed by the House of Marley.
Yes, that Marley's family and brand.
Here is his advice for other entrepreneurs:
Discover How (or what) You Can Give Back To the World
Rohan said that "before we started anything, I myself wanted to find out how I could contribute to society, as my father did so much for this earth. The first thing I did was study on a farm in Jamaica, and realized there that you help the community with sustainability. Everything has to be organic and protect the earth."
Do What Feels Good
Rohan says, "My family are all musicians, and we are a family of innovators who all have a vision - a vision to not just live in the earth and soak up air but also be inspired by what others have been doing and people have been approaching us to do. But how do we do it where it's 'us' and resonates with who we are? So we started researching and developing to find the right material that really says 'this is Marley, this feels like Marley' - something that Bob would love. We did what feels good."
Express Yourself
"My father was the first entrepreneur in the family that had his own sustainable system - he had a sustainable business. We took that ideology, and expounded upon that, because we are of today," explains Rohan. He added "If you see it, why not do it. Express your creativity. It's all about expressing yourself."
Don't Stop
And Rohan's biggest piece of advice? "Never stop doing what you started to do."

Thursday, President Donald Trump made the remark that he is "looking forward" to meeting once again with Russian President Vladimir Putin, reports CNN. Trump says this meeting would be to "begin implementing" some of the issues the two of them discussed during the summit at Helsinki, Finland. The summit has been the subject of much controversy in and outside of America. Many are still left questioning what exactly happened, and what was discussed in Helsinki that Trump and Putin will be "implementing," as Trump alluded to. According to Trump's Twitter account, the plans involve he and Putin's discussions about "…stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear proliferation, cyber attacks, trade, Ukraine, Middle East peace, North Korea and more."
The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media. I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear........— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 19, 2018
Trump took to Twitter in further attempts to quell the uproar over his politics and comments around the Helsinki summit. His reported refusal to stand behind the U.S. intelligence community's assessment of Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election during a joint news conference with Putin is a concern to many Americans. He has instead taken to Putin's defense and denials. To hear Trump tell it, he has misspoken on some accounts, although he outright refuses to acknowledge that he put the U.S. intelligence community's assessment of Putin's denying any efforts to undermine the U.S. presidential election on the same footing as his allegedly misspoken terms, leaving many to wonder.
In his slew of tweets Thursday, the U.S. president argued in his own defense of attending the summit with Putin, saying that the meeting was a "great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media." Likewise, Vladimir Putin has spoken out, signaling in the wake of their summit, that he and Trump came to an agreement regarding several subjects; the White House and Trump have not confirmed substantial or exact agreement details between the U.S. and Russia beyond Trump's generalized Twitter explanation.
These potential clean up remarks also include Trump's continued assertion that there was "no collusion" going on between his presidential campaign and Moscow, Russia. In fact, Trump has also made other remarks on his Twitter, saying that there "could be other people also" who interfered in the 2016 election.
Although much of the media's coverage of the Trump and Putin summit has revolved around and focused on Republican condemnation, the U.S. president has continued to lash out against what he proclaims is "fake news." Despite his constant allegations that Democrats and "fake news" are the "enemy," the fact that top Republicans in Congress disagree and break away from Trump's remarks against the U.S. intelligence agency's findings of the Russian political meddling in the 2016 election, cite CNN. In fact, Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan has contradicted Trump on several of the comments the president made regarding the Helsinki summit, which was a closed-door meeting.
The Fake News Media is going Crazy! They make up stories without any backup, sources or proof. Many of the stories written about me, and the good people surrounding me, are total fiction. Problem is, when you complain you just give them more publicity. But I'll complain anyway!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 19, 2018

California The US state of California, the fifth largest economy in the world, legalised cannabis on 1 January 2018. Although other US states had already created a regulated cannabis market before California, the Golden State intends to grow its sales market for cannabis, which already was the largest in the world, even faster. Currently, the annual sales of medicinal cannabis, which was legalised in California in 1996, is set to reach $7 billion this year.
Since 2009, cannabis has been the best-selling agricultural product in California, which has the highest population of all American states. Regulating recreational cannabis became a societal necessity when the prohibited plant wasn't purely cultivated and sold for medicinal reasons any longer.
It was a public secret that the market for medicinal cannabis was increasingly progressing into a grey area, as many Californians aspired to the status of cannabis patient in order to indemnify themselves from prosecution for possession, consumption or growing cannabis for personal use.
For that reason, the passing of Proposition 64 on 8 November 2016, the day of the most recent US presidential elections, was nothing more or less than a confirmation of the status quo and the 57.1% majority came as no surprise.
And while this result was to be expected, the responsible judiciary and politicians were better prepared than their counterparts in Colorado and Washington State some time earlier. Based on the wording of Proposition 64, numerous laws and decrees were formulated before Senate Bill No. 94 took effect on 1 January 2018.
It looks like California has prepared itself well; the new rules not only take into account the concerns regarding youth protection and prevention, they also cover the demands of the users, as well as the scientific interests of producers and shops.
What is permitted?
Senate Bill 94 permits individuals aged 21 and over to possess and use 28.5 grams of marijuana, and up to 8 grams of cannabis concentrates. Adults are allowed to possess a maximum of six living cannabis plants and the cannabis that they yield.
Private individuals are prohibited from using volatile solvents to produce cannabis concentrates unless they possess a state licence to do so. However, mechanical separation processes are permitted, as is extraction using non-volatile solvents like alcohol.
The medicinal cannabis program remains in place. In order to receive medicinal cannabis, patients must be 18 years or older, be in possession of a valid doctor's recommendation or a valid ownership card for medicinal cannabis, or they must appoint a so-called Caregiver. A Caregiver in California is allowed to grow cannabis for a maximum of five patients and sell it to them.
What remains prohibited?
1. Consumption in public remains prohibited. Cannabis may only be consumed on private property. Homeowners and home lessors are entitled to prohibit the use and possession of cannabis on or in their properties.
2. Exporting cannabis from California remains prohibited as well. This also applies to those neighbouring US states that have legalised cannabis. Although it is legal according to Californian law, cannabis may not be consumed or possessed on state-owned land such as national parks, a number of highways, and airports.
3. Earlier convictions for consumption, possession, cultivation, sale and trafficking of cannabis can be reassessed and retrospectively 'down-penalised' to an administrative offence. The maximum penalty for possession, sale or transgression of the maximum amounts set is six months in prison and is subject to substantial fines. Should they violate the rules, producers and shop owners run the risk of losing their licence.
4. More than a handful of municipalities or counties exercise their right to prohibit the establishment of any cannabis shops. Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale and a few smaller municipalities remain hostile towards cannabis.
5. In those places where the local authorities were able to prevent the establishment of medical dispensaries for the past 22 years, there will be no cannabis shops, not now and not in the future.
Cultivation licences are issued by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and are subject to a one-time fee of between $135 and $8,655 according to the size of the operation and the type of licence. As soon as a grower has been issued a licence, the rates are adapted to reflect the annual production of the cultivation acreage, amounting to anywhere between $1,205 and $77,905.
Anyone who already has a licence to cultivate medicinal cannabis and wishes to start cultivating recreational cannabis straightaway will have to apply for new licences. Until the new licences have been issued, the grower will receive a temporary licence.
In order to ensure that existing companies have enough time to get their new licences sorted, the transitional scheme will apply until 1 July 2018.
In view of the gigantic energy demand of traditional indoor cultivation techniques, the legislator considers it important to establish a standard set of rules for waste management processes and the use of renewable energy. In order to enable a sensible transition in this field as well, producers must have adapted their CO2 emissions and water consumption to the "average greenhouse" by 2023.
As of January and using a transitional licence similar to the one growers use, medical dispensaries are allowed to:
– Continue their business irrespective of the licence applied for and to sell to recreational consumers as well;
– Sell cannabis products that do not yet conform to the new regulations, provided they make this known in the form of an additional label;
– Sell cannabis products whose original package is not child friendly, provided the product is packaged in an extra, child-friendly container;
– Sell cannabis products that contain more THC per sales unit than is allowed under the new law, provided they make this known in the form of an additional label.
As of July, several licences will be issued for wholesalers and retailers:
– An 'A' licence for sales to adult recreational consumers;
– An 'M' licence for sales of medicinal cannabis to registered cannabis patients;
– A business may deploy both the 'M' and the 'A' licences at the same establishment, provided sales are conducted from separate rooms.
In addition to the sales licences, there are also licences for the further processing of cannabis products:
– The Type 7 licence authorises extraction using volatile solvents, such as butane, hexane or pentane;
– The Type 6 licence authorises extraction using non-volatile solvents (butter, oil, water, ethanol or carbon dioxide of food quality) or using mechanical methods;
– The Type 'N' licence authorises the manufacture of foodstuffs, drinks, e-liquids or lotions containing cannabis.
– The Type 'P' licence authorises packaging and labelling.
The government does its bit
Furthermore, John Chiang, the California State Treasurer, has announced that he will make it possible for businesses in this industry to deposit their money with banks. As a result of current federal laws, US banks in all states that have legalised cannabis are reluctant to do business with the industry.
Bankers are afraid that they will be prosecuted by the federal government if they accept cannabis dollars. In November 2017, Chiang announced the establishment of the Cannabis Banking Working Group. This body was tasked with finding a solution for the significant discrepancy between state and federal laws and with enabling the companies access to the banking system.
In January, the government also decided that cannabis companies would be able to secure trademark rights and advertise their products, subject to the same youth protection conditions as breweries and winemakers.
Unlike in Oregon, Colorado or Washington State, the Californian cannabis industry is getting a lot of support from political and governmental circles. In Denver and Seattle, producers and retailers experienced more pointless rules than support when establishing their businesses.
But even though California seems to be better prepared than other states, something elementary is lacking in all cannabis-friendly US states: Only in Oakland and San Diego are cannoisseurs entitled to enjoy a joint with friends outside their own four walls.
Local referendums in both these metropoles have enabled the establishment of this type of club. Elsewhere, there is no legal foundation for coffee shops, cannabis clubs or weed bars such as in the Netherlands and in Spain. In short, despite the almost heavenly conditions in these US states, there is still room for improvement.

Michelsberg culture
This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (April 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Michelsberg culture (German: Michelsberger Kultur (MK)) is an important Neolithic culture in Central Europe. Its dates are c. 4400–3500 BC. Its conventional name is derived from that of an important excavated site on Michelsberg (short for Michaelsberg) hill near Untergrombach, between Karlsruhe and Heidelberg (Baden-Württemberg).
|Geographical range
|Belgium, Central Europe, especially West Germany.
|Later Neolithic
|tulip beakers, hilltop settlements, enclosures
|Preceded by
|Rössen culture
|Followed by
|Wartberg culture
The Michelsberg culture is dated in the late 5th and the first half of the 4th millennium BC. Thus, it belongs to the Central European Late Neolithic. Its distribution covered much of West Central Europe, along both sides of the Rhine. A detailed chronology, based on pottery, was produced in the 1960s by the German archaeologist Jens Lüning.
Large-scale excavations of MK settlements have not taken place so far. Some settlements have earthwork enclosures.
Research so far tends to characterise MK as a culture that avoided or rejected the use of copper, but occasional finds, e.g. at Heilbronn-Klingenberg, do indicate use of that metal.
Important sitesEdit
The type site: Michelsberg hill near UntergrombachEdit
Michelsberg hill is about 4 km southeast of modern Bruchsal, near the suburb of Untergrombach. The hill rises steeply 160m above the Kraichgau plain, its overall height above sea level is 272m. As the hill is defined by steep slopes on three sides, it is a naturally protected or defensible site.
The first discoveries of prehistoric material took place in 1884, systematic excavation began in 1889. Further works took place in the 1950s and 1960s.
The summit plateau, measuring ca 400 x 250m, contained a Neolithic settlement, enclosed by a curvilinear earthwork. Such earthworks have since been recognised as one of the most widespread and typical types of MK monument. The Michelsberg site itself was unusually well-preserved, its interior yielded numerous settlement-related pits. The architecture consisted of daub-covered wooden structures. Remains of a pathway were found in the East of the site.
Michelsberg pottery is characterised by undecorated pointy-based tulip beakers.
Finds of barley and emmer indicate an agricultural economy. Animal husbandry is indicated by bones of domesticated cattle, pig, sheep and goat. Domestic dogs have also been identified. Bones of deer and fox suggest that the MK diet was supplemented by hunting.
There was no indication of a destruction of the site; nor were there any finds suggesting humans meeting a violent end. Some pits contained the remains of food stores. Thus, the abandonment of the site may have had environmental reasons. A common suggestion is the drying up of the Rhine's arms which used to flow by the bottom of the hill, due to an extensive dry period. As the result of such a climate change, the area would not have easily supported agriculture any more, forcing human communities (and their livestock) to relocate.
Prehistoric settlement patterns in Central Europe are generally quite volatile. The abandonment of a settlement may be part of a broader economic and social system. Thus, the Bruchsal area appears to contain several earthworks from different phases within MK.
Burial habitsEdit
Formal Michelsberg burials have only been recognised rarely. There is no indication of organised burial grounds, as known from the earlier Linear pottery (LBK) and Rössen cultures.
Human skeletal remains, frequently disarticulated, have been found inside pits and ditches in many MK earthworks and have had considerable influence on the interpretation of such structures. Their discussion is closely connected with that of similar remains in the ditches of British Causewayed enclosures.
The MK settlement of Aue yielded eight pit graves, six containing a single individual and two containing several. The age profile of those buried is very striking, as it is limited to children under the age of seven and adults over 50 (a considerable age in Neolithic Europe). In other words, humans of the ages that must have dominated the active social and economic life of the settlement are absent. It has been suggested that their bodies may not have received formal burial, but were disposed of by excarnation, in which case the skeletal remains from rubbish pits may be the result of such activity.
The same may apply to human bones found in the fills of enclosure ditches around MK settlements. It has also been suggested (hypothetically) that partially articulated remains found in such ditches may indicate that graves were placed on the surfaces adjacent to them and later washed into the ditches due to erosion.
Occasionally, earthwork ditches contain more structured deposits of human bone, e.g. adult skeletons surrounded by those of children. Such burials are probably connected to the realms of cult or ritual, as are specific depositions of offerings in some of the ditches, especially at the settlements of Aue and Scheelkopf. Here, ditches contained carefully placed complete vessels, well-preserved quern-stones and the horns of aurochs. The latter had been neatly separated from the skulls, perhaps reflecting a special symbolic significance ascribed to that animal.
A hitherto unknown aspect to MK burial practice is suggested by the recent discovery of MK burials in the Blätterhof cave near Hagen, Westphalia. Here, a full age profile appears to be represented.
An unusual burial was found at Rosheim (Bas-Rhin, France). Here, the fill of a pit contained the crouched remains of an adult woman, her legs leaning against a quernstone. She appeared to have been laid onto a carefully placed packing of clay lumps, mixed with pottery and bones. Her death had been caused by some blunt impact on her skull.

We name all the regular birdy visitors out here…….One of our favorites is Red Fred. A Red-Tailed Hawk. He was so sweet to pose for me today……
He just knows that he is cool…
We name all the regular birdy visitors out here…….One of our favorites is Red Fred. A Red-Tailed Hawk. He was so sweet to pose for me today……
He just knows that he is cool…
For the last several years, I have visited the same friends in the Texas Hill Country and I still need directions. Even so, I will inevitably make a wrong turn at the last fork in the road. My favorite friend to visit is a four year old Vulture named Buffy who was orphaned and had to be hand fed and cared for until she learned to survive on her own. Even after she learned to fly and was able to soar with the other Vultures she never needed a map to find her way back to her birthplace. Our friend Bruce has a way with birds and has rescued and rehabilitated numerous species through the years. They remind me of dogs with feathers. As much as I have read about birds, especially birds of prey, I am still clueless as to how they are able to migrate. I can't even drive to the north side of San Antonio without a map. If you call someone a birdbrain it is supposed to be an insult, but more and more I realize how fascinating and complex birds are. Two weeks ago, Buffy and another Vulture were brought here to our ranch to be released so that they would have a safe environment free of the dangers of highways and power lines. We kept them confined to the aviary for a week and then according to plan we released them hoping that they would stay within a mile or so. Not a chance…..Yesterday, my phone rang. I did not recognize the area code or number. "Buffy is here perched on my shoulder" The call was from Dave, a neighbor of Bruce's. My little birdbrain had flown 100 miles.
There's no place like home……
We love it when we spot an owl. Seeing two was a special treat late one afternoon, trail riding in a wooded area of the ranch. We always carry our cameras with us on our saddles, but these two were long gone before we had a chance to capture them. This is a big painting in oil that I have started that reminds me of that day. If we had been lucky enough to get that shot, the depth of field would have been shallow and the image pretty much out of focus and underexposed. I will never forget the eyes, though.
We see these Falcons hovering over our pastures and diving down at awesome speeds, doing flips and dives attacking their prey. They are flashy and beautiful and fun to watch. I am working on this pan pastel painting to add to a series of Falcon paintings that will be part of a fund raiser for Last Chance Forever a rescue operation for all birds of prey…To purchase this painting or any other paintings please click here: leicalady.etsy.com Thank-you!
Pobresito Bujo! Poor little owl. She was orphaned as a brancher. One that was a fledgling that could not yet fly. Due to permanent injuries, she is unable to survive in her natural habitat in the wild, but she is not in pain and serves as a ambassador for Last Chance Forever a rapter sanctuary that rescues and rehabilitates all birds of prey, including eagles, hawks, vultures, owls, falcons. The sanctuary is a 501c non profit organization that is always in need of donations. We are planning a benefit in the fall. For more information and assistance in the event that you should find a rapter in need of help. Their web-site is:
This did it for me…..Seeing a baby vulture that thought she had been rescued and gone to heaven when Last Chance Forever answered the call that brought her to the sanctuary. A hunter entering a deer blind was startled by huge flapping wings and shot the mother without realizing that she was protecting her nest in a dark corner of the shelter. He discovered the little baseball sized ball of buff covered down in the nest shivering and scared to death. His kind nature led him to change his plans for the day and seek out someone to help give this little rapter a chance.With our involvement through the years with John Karger, the master falconer and veterinarian technician who started the rescue center, we have been able to acquire a respect and awe of these birds as well as the staff that dedicates hours and hours to their well being. Of the 150 to 300 birds of prey that are brought into the center each year, from 65 to 80 percent of them are able to be released back into the wild. Melissa Hill is the primary veterinarian with the gift to perform delicate surgeries that few animal physicians would even attempt.
The birds are not given names and are not treated to respond to humans as pets. All attempts to ready them for life in their natural habitat are insured. Those who have suffered permanent disabilities that would prohibit their survival in the wild, yet are not in pain, are used in extensive educational programs throughout the year. Children and our ecology are especially important to John and Melissa. These programs have educated over 500,000 people each year since the inception of the Rapter Rescue.
Not one to ever spoil an animal whether furry or feathered, I can't help but seek out a few that I have unavoidably bonded with. They have names, but I just whisper them to myself…..
The patient is spoiled rotten!
When your much loved pet is sick or injured you would do anything to insure the best possible care and a speedy recovery. But would you or could you care for about 150 to 300 orphaned or injured birds in a year? We are not talking cute little parrots or love birds. How about hawks and vultures and other birds of prey? Up until 1971 a bounty was paid for shooting a hawk. They were getting a bad rap from farmers for killing chickens. Eagles have been known to kill sheep, but to wipe out a whole species has proven to be detrimental to the planet. Through the educational efforts of Last Chance Forever, a raptor sanctuary, the public is gaining knowledge as to the benefits that these birds contribute to our environment. Demonstrations by LCF held throughout the United States provide a means to enlighten 500,000 people each year to the role that these raptors play as indicators of our ecological health. Master Falconer and Veterinarian Technician, John Karger founded the organization in 1978. Each year due to the care these orphaned, sick or injured birds receive, 65 to 80% of them are able to be released back into their natural environment. Surgery and medical care is provided for these birds by Melissa Hill, the highly skilled veterinarian for LCF. Raptors that are rescued, but sustain injuries that prohibit them from surviving in the wild, are used as ambassadors to increase awareness of their virtues to the public. During one of the exhibitions conducted by the staff of Last Chance Forever, we were treated to a demonstration which included a Red Tailed Hawk, a Harris Hawk, a Bald Eagle and a Great Horned Owl. On another occasion we were able to see a Lanner Falcon and a Barn Owl. Superstitions and myths surrounding owls were dispelled for me, the first time I looked into the eyes of this beautiful female barn owl that had been rescued as an orphaned owlet. She appeared healthy and strong, but malnutrition that she experienced before her rescue had caused a deformity that would prevent her from flying and surviving outside the sanctuary.
Information and advice for anyone who needs assistance in aiding wildlife of any kind can be found at their web-site Lastchanceforever.org. They primarily provide care for Birds of Prey, but are able to direct you to organizations that will help other species of birds and animals.
Our 4th Of July included a return visit from two Crested Cara Caras. Often they are waiting on the fence post for us to bring them a treat. We talked about our habit of feeding these raptors to our friend John Karger. John founded a refuge for injured or orphaned Birds Of Prey which includes eagles, hawks, falcons, vultures and owls. The veterinarian care and rehabilitation that they receive enables 65 to 80% of the birds that are taken in to be released back into their natural habitat. John stated that as long as we did not make a daily habit of feeding these falcons, they would not become dependent on us for their total diet. As a Veterinarian Technician and Falconer, John has provided education and awareness of these raptors through the Last Chance Forever Sanctuary since 1978. During on of our visits with John we learned that the Crested Cara Cara eat primarily carrion along side vultures, but will also hunt birds and rodents. "I give them 30 seconds before they come" Tom said yesterday when our friends were gathered around for the air show. "Chilly and Willy" as we have come to call them were nowhere in sight at this point, but it was less than a minute before they appeared to entertain us. Known as the National Bird of Mexico or the Mexican Eagle, our amigos were more than willing join in our Independence Day celebration.
We love all birds, the birds of prey and the preyed upon alike. We are supporters of Last Chance Forever Rapter Sanctuary and have had the good fortune to have had a long friendship with Bruce and Betty Deuley, who have rescued many species of birds and animals through the years. Some of their charges have provided hours of entertainment and inspiration during their visits to our ranch. Most recently, Buzzy the roadrunner became a success story after he was orphaned as a fledgling. Last Spring, Bruce received a call from a kind hearted soul who had discovered a roadrunner nest in a tree that was minutes away from being removed from a construction site, The parents had flown away and had not been seen for I'm not sure how long. Buzzy, the abandoned coyote bait, was already suffering from dehydration and malnutrition by the time he was taken under Bruce's wing. Fortunately, he was soon buzzing around and accepting the grasshoppers that he was hand fed. The feeding ritual was pretty much a round the clock routine until Buzzy learned to catch bugs on his own. We had made plans for a get together with Bruce and Betty soon after Buzzy had been rescued. We were thrilled when they drove up and surprised us by bringing the Buzzard, I mean Buzzy to spend the week-end with us! The fun began with the arrival of Sinbad and Taz, cockerspaniels belonging to Bev and John and Jannie, the dragon tamed by Lynda and Peter. The guys grilled our dinner and entertained us with guitar picking and karaoke, while us girls ran around like nuts catching grasshoppers and tossing them to Buzzy. By the end of the evening he was running after them all by himself. All we had to worry about was our cats pushing him down a notch on the food chain. La Fiesta went on hasta la madrugada and I took photos until I could no longer maintain my role as designated drunk and disorderly. Sad as it was, I knew that the party was over when I saw two vultures soaring above my head…..
The first time we noticed an American Kestral, Tom and I were on our run down the road and we saw a little Falcon hovering in mid air with out seeming to move at all. Several times since then we see them perched at the top of a tree or doing flips and diving down to hunt for prey.

UNION CITY — If the James Logan High football team had any thoughts of going under the radar this year, forget about it.
In what was considered one of the East Bay's top football matchups to open the 2007 campaign, host Logan displayed the kind of speed and quickness usually reserved for playoff-type football in a 37-21 win over Monte Vista in non-league action Friday night.
"All that conditioning over the summer really paid off for us," Logan quarterback Rashad Evans said. "We don't have much size, but we got a whole lot of speed."
He's right about that.
Evans was nearly untouchable when he got into the flat on several quarterback keepers. And when Evans didn't keep the ball, he simply handed it off to other speedster running backs like Justin Brooks (11 rushes for 161 yards) and Danny Godfrey (21 rushes for 139 yards).
And of course there was Evans, who dazzled the lively crowd with 156 rushing yards on 12 carries that included three touchdowns.
"This was the first real summer where we went hard," said George Zuber, Logan's second-year coach. "We came out and timed everyone's 40 (yard dash) and noticed a vast improvement from last year."
Monte Vista, led by quarterback Drew McAllister, looked solid in its first two series — 23 plays for 126 yards. But it was all for nothing as they resulted in a missed field goal and a turnover on downs.
McAllister, who has given a verbal to play at USC as a safety next year, threw for 224 yards on a 14-for-30 effort. He was hampered by an injured left knee, which was taped up heavily before the game. He was held out of practice until Thursday this week.
"We made too many mistakes, I made too many mistakes," said McAllister, who rushed for one touchdown and hit Zach Ertz for 32-yard touchdown to end the third quarter that cut Logan's lead to 24-14.
That's the closest Monte Vista would get.
The Evans show began shortly after that. With Logan's second play of the fourth quarter, Evans dashed 49 yards for a touchdown and a 30-14 lead.
Monte Vista made one more push when Taylor Brewster took the ensuing kickoff 84 yards to set up a first-and-goal at the 10. McAllister then threw an interception into the hands of Arturo Raygoza in the end zone.
The Colts didn't manage a score off that turnover and were forced to punt for the first time in the game. Either way, it ran time off the clock and when the Mustangs and McAllister got the ball back, they were trailing 30-14 with 7:25 left in the game.
McAllister threw four straight incompletions and Logan got the ball back. Evans put an exclamation point on his night with Logan's first play of the drive — a 24-yard quarterback scamper into the end zone for a 37-14 lead.
"This was a quality game for both teams," Monte Vista coach Craig Bergman.

Taylor & I got to go see Daron today in his new place!! We got there about Noon & stayed there until about 3pm. It made for a very loooong day, but glad that we got to go see him. We all went for a walk together, Daron & Taylor played on the special double swing together (one side has a normal seat & the other has a wheelchair ramp) - I think that was Taylor's favorite part of the entire day.
I am so glad that Taylor will be able to visit his Dad any day that he wants to. He had so much fun today & was so sad when we had to leave. I couldn't tell if he was upset about leaving his Dad or if it was because he couldn't swing on the special swing anymore. But at least he had fun.
Please continue to pray for Daron as he gets adjusted to his new surroundings - he is the youngest one on that ward. He is also trying to get used to his new "normal" - has to do somethings on their schedule (meals, meds, shower). He does have some freedom to do things on his own.
Please continue to pray for strength for him mentally, physically, emotionally & spiritually. They do have a chapel with a protestant service, but from the way he was talking yesterday, I don't know if he will go. When asked about spiritual preferences & how important it is to him to attend services or talk to a chaplain, he said that it didn't really matter to him. A chaplain did come in & talk to him today as an introduction kind of thing....but nothing more then that.
Please continue to pray for Taylor & I as we deal with our new normal as well. I learned today that being out of the house from 9:30am until 5:30pm is very exhausting. I know that both of my guys had fun...I'm just drained from the drive & everything else. Pray that I can keep my strength up everyday so that I can handle days like today. Once school starts, the only days that we can do like today will be Saturdays. I hope to be able to visit Daron at least 2x a week if not 3x. It just depends on Taylor's school schedule & routine - homework will have to be done & then their is the bedtime routine as well. I know that God will give us the time together that we need as a family!!
Our family loves a good adventure -- but are we truly prepared for this adventure called life? Join us and find out! Our family verse -- "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

"This year, I'm nearly myself again. Incomparably grateful."
This morning, as I write my latest novel with a clear and cheerful brain, I'm incredibly grateful for the medical team at Resilient Roots who completely eliminated my migraines, brain fog, and gave me back my life. The first book in the Ronan trilogy is dedicated to them. Last year, I couldn't write or stay awake or eat any food without complications. This year, I'm nearly myself again. Incomparably grateful.
"I am so glad I made the commitment with Ryan as my nutritional advisor."
"As a 55 year old female who has exercised and eaten what I thought was a healthy diet for the majority of my life, I thought I was in the best possible shape "for my age". I had definitely gained weight over the years, but thought it was just part of aging. I also struggled with sleepiness everyday midday. When Ryan approached me about working with me to optimize my health through diet and nutrition, I welcomed the opportunity because nothing I had done was helping me reduce the percentage of body fat I had. Working with Ryan was The Best decision I Ever Made for my health. Working with Ryan, I lost 22 pounds, brought my body fat to 25.8%, visceral fat to 6 and my scale said my age was 46! And that happened in 9 weeks.
Ryan kept me focused, stayed enthused about the improvements and continuous drop in my weight. I also had a ton more energy and lost the afternoon sleepiness. Ryan is thorough, interviewed me extensively before recommending a course of action, and stayed involved using apps and technology so that he knew I was following his guidance.
Almost a year and a half later, I am still at my desired weight, I continue to follow the food choices and supplements, and feel great. Ryan's enthusiasm, knowledge and involvement will guarantee success and make your goals a reality. I am so glad I made the commitment with Ryan as my nutritional advisor."
""A standout in the field of functional medicine"
"Dr. Abbott is a standout in the field of functional medicine. He is light years ahead of his time and offers his patients a simple, affordable and effective model in a time when many clinicians get distracted by the empty promise of the newest bells and whistles. I would confidently send my family to see him."

Cop Andy Bastian is offered a thousand dollars in exchange for a favour – not an insignificant amount in the early Sixties.
He's to deliver Ralph, the brilliant son of wealthy parents, to Kansas to be detained in a mental health facility.
It's a long journey from California, but they don't get far before it's clear they're being followed.
Initially suspecting the boy's father is merely keeping a close eye, it quickly becomes clear that something much more sinister is afoot.
Just who is trying to get to them?
And can he get Ralph safely to the asylum before they do?
Praise for Richard Wormser
'Realistically told… carefully controlled, fast paced' – Kirkus Reviews
Richard Wormser is not an author I had heard of until very recently with Endeavour Press re-issuing some of his novels from the early 60s. Drive East on 66 is the first of two books featuring Andy Bastian.
Bastian is a cop and has the opportunity to earn a few extra dollars, moonlighting as a delivery driver for a rich businessman, Sidney Bartlett. The cargo is the businessman's son, Ralph who needs to be delivered to an asylum, without fuss and avoiding any publicity. Our book is a road trip. Travelling with Bastian and Ralph is Olga Beaumont, a graduate student in psychology. Olga has been helping with Ralph at Bartlett's mansion.
Andy, with his cop spider sense soon gets the feeling that they are being followed. A mechanical breakdown with Bartlett's nearly new Cadillac enhancing that suspicion. Investigating further he soon dismisses the likely pursuers as too dim to be up to no good. Subsequent incidents occur on our trip which positively confirm that persons unknown do not want Ralph to reach his intended destination.
I quite enjoyed this one. We have the three main characters in the vehicle and its interesting seeing how the relationships between them all evolve during the course of our eventful road trip. Ralph's moods and mental well-being fluctuate wildly on our trip. Little stresses rapidly changing his personality from likeable, friendly, funny and great company to irrational and unpredictable. Bastian works well with Olga in recognising when he is about to mood-change and in heading off most of the possible explosions. Not always though.
Ralph outwits Bastian and Miss Beaumont on one occasion, leading to police involvement after an incident that leaves a young adult in hospital. Bastian has to use his skills and authority to divert police attention away from his young charge. An Indian reservation cop and the girl's father is not so easily put off. His reappearance later in the book adds to the tension.
Enjoyable without setting my reading world alight. I warmed to our trio as the novel progressed and was happy enough with the plot and the subsequent conclusion and rationale. I'd be happy reading more from Wormser in future.
4 from 5
Richard Wormser had 14 books published between 1934 and 1972, some under a pseudonym Ed Friend. He wrote Westerns as well as crime/mystery fiction. He died in 1977.
The University of Arizona has more info about him - here.

I'm glad you enjoyed this one, Col. I like the 'road trip' context; anything can happen in that sort of situation, and it can work quite well. The characters sound interesting, too.ReplyDeleteReplies
Margot, I do like a road trip in a book. It was an interesting tale with interesting characters. What more could you want?Delete
Wow, this is a new one to me, also. This book sounds very good and I like the timeframe.ReplyDeleteReplies
I hope you can squeeze one or two of his in to your reading schedule. I have Perfect Pigeon and A Nice Girl Like You to look forward to. I think they are quite cheap in paperback, but cheaper as kindle reads.Delete
Like Margot, I find the idea of a roadtrip appealing, even with such a strange purpose. Definitely one for the list.ReplyDeleteReplies
Not too dear and not too long, worthy on consideration.Delete
