Crazy Horse stole his first wife. Black Buffalo Woman was married to another man named No Water. Crazy Horse just up and stole her and, in time, she broke his heart. This theft of the heart led to no small amount of acrimony in the tribe, with both Crazy Horse and No Water making repeated attempts on the other's life. Finally the Chief stepped in and made Crazy Horse give No Water two horses, and in time, Black Buffalo woman dumped him. She was the first of his three wives, all of which he would lose to death or abandonment.
When one drives through the Badlands, the history of that place–or places–seems to lay in wait. In the high desert, there are plants called Indian Paintbrushes, that I'd always thought were cactus of some kind. Evidently, they're not. I actually don't really know what the hell they are, other than beautiful.
I think I keep thinking about Crazy Horse because of the sad trajectory of his life. He'd lost his wives, his brother, his father and his dearest friend, Hump; and in his lifetime, he would also lose the ferocious landscape of the Badlands to the white man and the railroads. His was a life of furious loss, despite fighting mightily to hang onto some semblance of his history and ancestry. These things too, were lost to him.
His only solace was in nature. Being on the wrong end of history's loaded gun, relegated him and millions of other Indians to the shameful footnote of white America's own genocidal manifest destiny.
I guess the idea of belonging to a place is something I've always considered an idea worth fighting for. If you've ever been to a country that has just lost a war, you know what I mean. I visited Haiti in the '80s and early '90s and there was this despair that hung over the place like a shawl of angry shadows.
Friends of mine from eastern Europe have told me what it's like for your country to suddenly lose its borders. You don't have to travel to have this discussion; talk to any homeless person about how it feels to no longer have a tether, or a place…or a home.
In our country, we find ourselves in an economic climate where people are just trying to hang onto what they have. The economic safety nets have proven mythic and there is a hunger in our cities, the like of which we've not seen since the Great Depression. The difference now is that there is less continuity of community. In the 1930s whole neighborhoods pulled together to grow gardens, and conserve rags, tin, fat,rubber and other scrap just to make it by.
It is not so different than what Crazy Horse faced. History was moving faster than he could hope to; the wealthy taking what they want and sending men with guns to eliminate anyone that stood in the way.
This piece is called, "Indian Plume."

T Is for Technology in Triathlon Training
The original triathletes were amazing. Dave Scott and Mark Allen accomplished amazing feats in triathlon long before technology took over the sport. They didn't have metrics like we have today and they certainly didn't have all of the information gathering abilities we have. Yet, they set records and competed valiantly. In fact Mark Allen still holds the marathon record in Kona to this day. Technology is a great friend to triathletes but is does have a downside.
So technology has taken over every part of triathlon. One of the most widely researched areas is the area of the triathlon watch. Each and every year there are new watches available for purchase that have ever increasing measurements for the triathlete. My personal favorite is the Garmin 910XT. This watch gives me heart rate, power (with a power meter), pacing (with optional foot pod), speed, cadence (with optional cadence sensor), mileage, yards in swimming, and much more. Each of these measurements aid me in measuring my success or failures in each and every training session and race.
Technology has been making huge strides in bicycles and wheel sets. The amount of research going into these two items within the world of triathlon is incredible. Each and every year there are new and exciting advances in aerodynamic speed in bicycles and wheel sets. Much of the time these technologies can take on two very different vantage points. This was most evident at the 2016 World Championships in Kona. Diamond Bikes unveiled their Andean bike which fills in all the space in between the front tire and the back tire with a solid piece to make the wind pass by this area for aerodynamics. Another bike debuted at Kona this year with the exact opposite idea. The Ventum bike eliminated the down tube of the bike and made a vacant space in between the front tire and the back tire with only the top tube remaining. These are two very different ideas about aerodynamics. This is one of the amazing things about the advancement of technology and one of the downsides as well.
Each and every piece of equipment in triathlon is undergoing constant technology advancements. Shoes, wetsuits, socks, nutrition, hats, sunglasses, helmets, racing kits, and anything else you can imagine. This world of technology in triathlon is not near to completion and will continue to push the limits.
Technology in triathlon is amazing. These new items are exciting and make each and every year different. There are new advancements that help triathletes go faster and longer. These new technologies help even the amateur triathlete to go faster. Just the purchase of new wheels can mean the difference between being on or off the podium. The advancement of shoes has aided many athletes to avoid the injuries that plague so many such as plantar fasciitis. Technology will continue to aid the sport in becoming better and better.
The downside to technology is that the amateur triathlete arrives at their local race already incapable of winning because someone else has the money to buy some of the latest technology. The biggest purchases such as wheel sets and bicycles can be cost prohibitive to the average triathlete and yet there are individuals who purchase these items at alarming rates. The amateur triathlete can also feel overwhelmed at what to purchase and what not to purchase. Some items of technology are not worth the extra cost because they do not decrease racing time significantly enough for what they cost. Now that these new technologies have been out awhile, knock-offs have begun to make lower cost items. It will be interesting to watch the flood of these knock-offs into the market and see how that affects the big boys of technology.
If you are an amateur triathlete shop smart and don't go buy the new gadgets just because they are new. Make sure to invest in items that are going to truly make you faster and not just a gimmick.

Don't let carb-phobia stop you from eating whole grains! Here's why you should embrace whole grains and ditch refined grains and processed flours instead.
When ground into flours, most grains act like sugar in the body, triggering weight gain, inflammation and blood-sugar imbalances. Here's why whole kernels are a better option.
Flour is hard to sidestep come mealtime. Breakfast brims with toast, bagels, cereal, pancakes. Lunch is built around sandwiches, wraps, pasta, pizza. And dinner may come with its very own breadbasket.
Flours are produced by crushing grains into fine powders. And those powders form the basis not just for breads and buns, but for a huge variety of processed foods, from cereals, crackers and pizza dough to cookies, cakes and ice cream cones. As a result, the average American now eats 10 servings of refined grains each day.
As our national appetite for flour has inched up, so has the incidence of diet-related ills, such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes. Coincidence? Many nutrition experts don't think so. When they weigh the evidence linking food choices and disease, they see the white, dusty fingerprints of flour everywhere.
"Now that trans fats are largely out of the food supply," says David Ludwig, MD, PhD, director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Children's Hospital Boston, "refined carbohydrates, including refined grain products, are the single most harmful influence in the American diet today."
Flour started out as an ingenious fix to a vexing problem. Grass seeds were plentiful, but the tough outer shell (the husk) made the seeds difficult to chew and digest. Early humans outsmarted the seeds by grinding them between stones, crushing the outer layers to get at the goodness inside. The result — a coarse powder — was the first whole-grain flour.
The downside was spoilage. Crushing the germ released its oils, which quickly turned rancid when exposed to air. With the advent of industrial milling in the late 1800s, machines began filtering out the germ and pulverized the remaining endosperm into a fine, white powder that lasted on the shelf for months. And so all-purpose white flour was born — along with a host of health problems.
Beneath their rigid architecture, whole-kernel grains conceal an array of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and fiber. But when machines pulverize kernels into flour, even whole-grain flour, what's left behind is a starchy powder capable of wreaking havoc on the body.
Flour, as opposed to whole-kernel grains, is easy to overconsume because most flour-based foods require little chewing and go down rather quickly. "It is so much easier to overconsume any food where the work of chewing or digesting or separating fiber from starch has been done for us," says functional nutritionist Julie Starkel, MS, MBA, RD.
Overconsuming flour can lead to a number of problems in the body, including:
Blood-Sugar Blues
Smashing a whole-kernel grain to smithereens means it digests faster. Rapid-fire digestion causes blood sugar to spike, which causes a rise in insulin. The result? Not only are you hungry two hours later, but you are also paving the way for insulin resistance and diabetes. "The difference between a whole-kernel grain and a processed grain all boils down to the glycemic index, which is how quickly the body turns food into fuel, or glucose," says Gerard Mullin, MD, FACN, director of integrative gastroenterology nutrition at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md., and coauthor of The Inside Tract: Your Good Gut Guide to Great Digestive Health (Rodale, 2011). Foods made with wheat flour are particularly damaging. A carbohydrate in wheat, called amylopectin A, is more easily converted to blood sugar than just about any other carbohydrate. Two slices of bread made with whole-wheat flour raise blood sugar higher than six teaspoons of table sugar and higher than many candy bars.
"If we were evil scientists and we said, 'Let's make the most perfect poison,' it would be wheat," says preventive cardiologist William Davis, MD. (For more on why Davis advises against eating any kind of wheat — including even whole-kernel grains — check out his book, Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health (Rodale, 2011).)
Food Cravings
Over the past 50 years, the amber waves of grain our grandparents enjoyed have been replaced with modern, high-yield dwarf strains of wheat that produce more seeds and grow faster. The result is a dietary wild card, says Davis: "Agricultural geneticists never asked if these new strains of wheat were suitable for human consumption. Their safety has never been tested." One of the biggest changes in modern wheat is that it contains a modified form of gliadin, a protein found in wheat gluten. Gliadin unleashes a feel-good effect in the brain by morphing into a substance that crosses the blood-brain barrier and binds onto the brain's opiate receptors. "Gliadin is a very mind-active compound that increases people's appetites," says Davis. "People on average eat 400 more calories a day when eating wheat, thanks to the appetite-stimulating effects of gliadin."
Caloric Overload
By definition, a refined grain packs more calories than a whole-kernel grain because it is more concentrated. And foods that are high in grains also tend to be high in sugar and industrialized fats. These are the foods, say many experts, that are causing our obesity and diabetes epidemic.
Metabolic Slowdown
Research shows that the body may shift nutrients into fat storage and away from muscle burning in the presence of high-glycemic-index foods. In 2004, Ludwig and his colleagues at Harvard conducted a study, published in the journal Lancet, in which they fed rats diets with identical nutrients, except for the type of starch. By the end of the study, rats in both groups weighed roughly the same, but those eating a high-glycemic diet had 71 percent more fat than the low-glycemic-index group.
A diet high in grains stokes inflammation. When blood sugar spikes, glucose builds up in the blood like so many standby passengers on a flight. When glucose loiters in the blood, it gets into trouble by attaching itself to nearby proteins. The result is a chemical reaction called glycation, a pro-inflammatory process that plays a role in a host of inflammatory diseases — everything from cataracts to arthritis to heart disease.
GI Disorders
Studies show that the lectins in grains inflame the lining of the gut and create fissures between cells. Also, when whole-kernel grains are refined, 80 percent of the fiber is lost, and gut health suffers. "Without the fiber, you end up with rapid-release carbs in these grains, which is a bad thing for the gut," says Kathie Swift, MS, RD, coauthor (with Mullin) of The Inside Tract. Plus, fiber helps sweep the gut of debris and supports the body's critically important elimination and detoxification processes, which also play a role in keeping high cholesterol and inflammation at bay.
Food Allergies/Intolerances
Wheat, in particular, is one of the biggest dietary triggers of food allergies and intolerances. While the exact reason is unclear, many experts blame the higher gluten content of modern wheat varieties. A type of protein found in many grains, including wheat, gluten gives dough elasticity, trapping air bubbles and creating a soft texture. Because soft is considered desirable, wheat today is bred to have more gluten than ever before.
Acid-Alkaline Imbalance
The body has an elaborate system of checks and balances to keep its pH level at a steady 7.4. A diet high in acidic foods, such as grains, forces the body to pull calcium from the bones to keep things on an even keel. When researchers looked at how the diets of more than 500 women affected their bone density, they found that a diet high in refined grains, among other nutrient-poor foods, was linked to bone loss. A highly acidic diet also chips away at our cellular vitality and immunity in ways that can make us vulnerable to chronic disease. "Grains are the only plant foods that generate acidic byproducts," says Davis. "Wheat, in particular, is among the most potent sources of sulfuric acid, a powerful substance that quickly overcomes the neutralizing effects of alkaline bases."

Graham's had it with Alphas. His experiences with them have
been disastrous at best. Even with ones that didn't tumble him into the nearest
bed. So when the chance to move in with another Omega comes up, Graham grabs
it. But Graham's never seen an Omega so big. Plus, he seems to be able to push
buttons only an Alpha has. Except trust is something that comes easily to
Graham. Hyden says nothing about being an Alpha – so he must not be. Right?
Hyden has just met his fated mate - in the middle of a territorial war. Not the best timing. But now that Graham's here, Hyden can hardly let the little pup escape, which is what he will do if he finds out Hyden is not only an Alpha but the Alpha. With the Mating Moon scant days away how will Hyden convince the smaller Graham that not all Alphas are selfish bastards? And he's going to have to because blood fever will not be ignored and Hyden can already feel it taking over his senses. Once it does, there will be no turning back. Hyden might have to resort to handcuffing the pup in order to make sure he doesn't bolt off into the night. Hmmm. Not a bad thought. He might have to do that anyway…

Stupid, clueless little pup. Hyden pushed away from the door he had just closed, leaving Graham behind, and forced himself to walk into the living room. If he didn't, he was sure he would slam that door back open, rip those boxers off the man, and take him right there on the cold hardwood floor.
Why now? Why did his fated mate have to show up now? Fuck, the smell of the man. He had never before experienced anything like it. And for the pup to be ignorant of Hyden's Alpha status was absolutely crazy. But Hyden knew, due to the strong scent of terror rolling off the smaller man when he had even spoken the word Alpha, his mate would bolt if he learned that Hyden was indeed not only an Alpha but the Alpha.
The Solfang Pack was the dominant pack in the city, and it was odd Graham hadn't heard of it. And the last thing Hyden was capable of doing was outright lying to his fated mate. He could, and was going to have to, hide some of the truth. But lying was not something he was going to want to do. Even now, with the subterfuge he was planning, he was skating on ground that would have him in high water to his eyebrows with one false step.
The timing of this sucked. He was just now moving into supreme power, and to be sidetracked by a naïve little pup was definitely going to be a problem. But he sure as hell wasn't going to be able to let Graham slip away from him either. Hyden wasn't the one who placed the ad in the paper, but if Graham needed to rent a room, he would rent it from him. And if Graham needed to believe Hyden was an Omega, then that's what Hyden was going to have to be for a while. At least until he could convince the pup they were mates.
Except it was a little over two weeks to the Mating Moon.
Was that going to be enough time for him to get Graham to understand what was happening? Because he would not be able to hold back when that moon hit. He was barely able to keep his wolf at bay the way it was. Snapping and growling at him already, his animal was clawing to get out and at the pup.
He heard a noise behind him, and he turned.
There he was. Beautiful and innocent. Maybe not virginal. That was fine. But he was in no way going to allow Graham to be physical with anyone else from now on. "Feeling better?" The sweatpants and top he had given the man were very obviously too big. They belonged to his sister, who was no small thing herself.
"Yes. Thank you."
He had pushed up the sleeves and rolled up the pant legs. He looked absolutely adorable. And fuckable.
Hyden wanted to touch the hot skin beneath that fabric.
But he would have to wait. Shit. The beautiful man was talking to him, and he'd missed it.
"I'm sorry, Graham. What did you say?"
"I asked… what… what is the price? I think the paper was wrong. I think it was a typo or something because…"
"Come. Let's sit down." It would be easier for him to hide his reaction to this man if they sat. Hyden walked over to one of the white couches. He truly desired for Graham to sit at his feet, to keep him near, and almost commanded him to do so but was able to keep his mouth shut. The gorgeous man sat opposite him on the other couch. Damn it. So far away.
Oh, he was so timid. He sat perched at the end, looking ready to run at the slightest thing. Did he suspect? He should. How Hyden was going to keep from Graham what he was, he wasn't sure, but at the very least, he was going to have to hide his extreme attraction. And his overpowering need to command the man to bend over for him. Right now.
He swallowed hard. Keep on task, or you will lose him. "What did the ad say?"
"It said two hundred dollars a month. But I know that can't be right."
"Two hundred a month is fine."
"What? But…"
"Two hundred a month is the price. Do you want it?"
"Oh yes! Yes, please."
Damn. The word please coming from those lips… Lips Hyden wanted wrapped around his cock. "Good. When can we move you in?"
"Today? Is today too soon?"
Today. Relief swept through Hyden. He would soon have the pup under his roof and his protection. No mistakes. He could make no mistakes. "No. Not at all. Where is your stuff?"
"In Tenway Park. In the Mercury building. I live on the tenth floor. It's… not like this. I don't know if you know anything about Tenway Park. I – it's kind of slummy."
Tenway Park. Damn. It totally figured he would be coming from the inner city. The wolves in that district rejected any kind of pack authority, had long ago abolished packs altogether. He understood the payoffs. Alphas running amok with no self-discipline, fucking everything in their path, not to mention the fact crime was a way of life. The only rule: don't get caught. And even then, if you had money and power, getting caught simply meant you gained more influence and notoriety. Having to submit to a pack would stop all such behavior. Hyden's Betas had been slowly infiltrating the area and bringing back much needed information. At some point, Hyden would take over the zone, and he needed to know who were going to be the ones he would have to defeat in order to do it. Just the knowledge that this was where his Graham had been living made him shiver.

Serving Greater Atlanta, Roswell, Alpharetta, Atlanta
Foundation settlement and house movement can occur when a soil layer can't support the weight of the home.
Have you noticed cracks in your foundation walls, uneven floors, or sticking windows in your home? If these sound like problems you've experienced, you may have a sinking or settling foundation.
At Atlanta Basement Systems, we fix foundation settlement issues by installing steel foundation piers. These piers will extend beneath the foundation, contacting strong supporting soils that will permanently stabilize your structure.
Atlanta Basement Systems are your local experts for all types of foundation repair. Call us for a free foundation inspection and foundation settlement repair quote today! We serve Atlanta, Alpharetta, Roswell and many nearby areas in Georgia.
Signs of a settling foundation can be very subtle at first -- many homeowners can go months or even years before noticing a crack in their foundation. The long-term damage from foundation settlement, however, is ongoing and will lead to more severe foundation problems.
Stair-Step Cracking
Stair-step cracking is very common in brick and concrete block walls and is a sure sign of foundation settlement. As the settlement house movement continues, vertical cracks may widen or become uneven as wall sections tilt away from each other, indicating more severe displacement.
Keep an eye out for cracks that are wider at the top than at the bottom, as this is a sign of advancing settlement.
Tilting Chimneys
Tilting chimneys that are separating from the home are one of the most intimidating and dramatic signs of a settling foundation.
Sometimes a chimney is built on a footing that is not connected to the house foundation. In this situation, the enormous weight of a chimney can make it even more at risk of settlement.
Damaged Doors & Windows
An opening cut in any wall is a weak point, so signs of foundation settlement and house movement often show up around door and window openings.
Doors and windows frames may be racked out of square, cracks may extend from the corners above doors and windows, and doors may separate from the framing or exterior finish. Other signs of foundation settlement include sticking or jamming doors and windows, and locks that stop working.
Slab Floor Cracking
Cracks in your concrete floor slab can be a sign of foundation settlement, but they may also be a sign that the slab floor alone has settled.
There are times when your slab floor may sink or lift independently of the foundation walls, damaging the floors but not necessarily the foundation walls themselves.
Drywall Cracks
Cracks in drywall throughout the house are reliable indicators of foundation settlement. Cracks will often be larger and more obvious in the home's upper levels.
Typical drywall cracks during foundation settlement are commonly located at the corners of doors and windows and along drywall seams. Drywall tape can also be a good indicator, especially if it's ripping or coming loose. Drywall cracks can also be a sign of sinking crawl space supports, sinking floors, and heaving floors.
At Atlanta Basement Systems, we recommend installing foundation piers to stabilize, repair, and restore a foundation that's been damaged by issues related to foundation settlement and poor supporting soils.
There are several different types of foundation piers that are designed to address each kind of foundation problem. We install three different kinds of foundation piers: push piers, helical piers, and slab piers.
Push piers connect the foundation to strong, stable soil or bedrock. Foundation piers attach to the base of the foundation with special brackets and extend through settling and unstable soil layers, transferring the weight of your home to competent soils.
Foundation push piers are straight, steel piers that attach to your foundation and extend far below the structure to strong supporting soils. During the installation, a section of the foundation footing is exposed and cut to attach to each pier's bracket. This is possible year-round from either inside or outside of your foundation or structure.
Foundation brackets are secured to the footing, and tubular pier sections are hydraulically driven through each bracket. Pier sections continue to be driven downwards until the piers meet competent strata that can bear the weight of your home without compression.
When all push piers have been installed, they will work in unison to transfer the weight of the structure to the strong soils or bedrock below. If possible, the home is also lifted back to its original, level position.
More about installing foundation push piers.
Like push piers, helical piers are attached to the foundation by mounting a bracket. Helical piers include rotating blades that are advanced (or "screwed") into the soil.
Foundation helical piers are straight, steel piers that have helical blades welded to each shaft. This installation is possible from either inside or outside of your foundation. These piers are driven into the soils underneath your foundation, then each pier is connected to the structure's foundation via a steel bracket.
During the installation, a section of the footing is exposed and cut for each bracket. Next, round-shaft helical piers are mechanically advanced into the soil. Once the helical pier has been advanced into the soil, a foundation bracket is secured to the footing.
When all helical piers have been installed, they will work in unison to transfer the weight of the structure to competent soil. If possible, the structure is also lifted back to a level position.
More about installing foundation helical piers.
When the soil beneath a concrete slab shrinks or settles, the slab itself is also likely to settle, often cracking in the process. Slab piers restore stability by connecting the slab to competent soil at greater depth.
Foundation slab piers are straight steel piers that extend from stable soils deep below the structure to support brackets directly in contact with the underside of the slab. These piers are meant to support a settling concrete floor, and are not appropriate for foundation wall stabilization.
Slab piers are also inappropriate for repairing heaving foundations, where the floor is being lifted by expansive soils or frost heave.
During installation, a small hole is cored through the concrete floor. A slab bracket is assembled beneath the concrete slab, and steel tubes are hydraulically driven down through this bracket assembly.
When the slab piers have reached competent soils, the weight of the slab is transferred through the piers to load-bearing soils below. If possible, the slab is lifted back to level position.
At the end of the installation, grout is pumped under the slab to fill any voids, and all cored holes in the slab are restored with new concrete for a clean, professional look.
At Atlanta Basement Systems, we can identify and repair any issue you may be having with settling, sinking foundations, and settlement house movement. We have a wide variety of solutions for foundation repair that have been tested and proven effective throughout the United States and Canada through the Supportworks network of foundation contractors.
Each of our solutions starts with a free, written foundation repair quote, and includes a personal consultation with a foundation expert, an in-person inspection, and a free copy of our 90-page foundation repair book. To schedule an appointment with one of our specialists, call or e-mail us today! We proudly serve Atlanta, Alpharetta, Roswell, Athens, Marietta, Smyrna, Ellenwood, Peachtree City, Mableton, Gainesville, and nearby.

The Final Statement by ClanBase
Dear everyone,
ClanBase is no more, we are sorry.
For those unfamiliar with the name: ClanBase once was a cool site to visit if you were an online gamer. With cups and ladders hosted for games such as the Quake, Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike and Call of Duty series, a teenager really had quite some options for multiplayer entertainment. Heck, we even had LAN finals for our renowned EuroCups.
Those days are far behind us and as it stands today, the company that owns the ClanBase site - GGL - is unable to cover the costs required to run the website. Moreover, lately the owners of the site do not wish to cooperate with the voluntary crew, keeping everybody in the dark and thus showing complete disrespect to people who spend many hours a day trying to make our tournaments a success.
The website has now been offline for more than three weeks due to an unpaid bill. No action is being taken by the owner to get the website back online. Having no vision for the future, we - the ClanBase Crew - have lost our last hopes about ClanBase ever coming back online, and unfortunately we announce the end of a great era.
The history and the truth as the ClanBase Crew sees it
A US-based company called Global Gaming League (Professional Interactive Entertainment, Inc.) noticed the success of the site and bought it from the original owners in December of 2004. They had financial backing for server hosting and our tournaments. Things were going well until in 2007 CB suffered its first heart attack when GGL couldn't deliver the prize money they put up for the EuroCup. This can be marked as the start of our downfall.
The CB Crew has always been made up of volunteers with the majority being just teenagers. There was no possibility for us to come up with the money on our own that was promised, yet we were always the ones getting blamed. After all, it was our cup season and our name. It is no surprise that after this blow there was no way for us to host another season with the promise of any kind of prize until the debt was settled with the previous winners.
To this day, GGL owes around €24,000 in prize money which will never be settled. The other sites who were in the same gaming business of course had no problems hosting their tournaments however they wanted. ClanBase, however, lost a great deal of its reputation along with some top teams who never got their winnings.
As time went by the site also started to decay. After the takeover we had paid developers who tried to put the code in shape. There were some noteworthy developments such as the seasonal and invitational ladders, but after the first test run we couldn't get the necessary changes implemented - because GGL stopped paying the developers.
Money. The source of all evil.
GGL started moving the servers between hosts (RackSpace, Amazon, GreenQloud) to save costs, and to avoid further missed payments. This appeared in the news a few times when providers came out with how they were lied to. We also lost the ability to upload files anything other than demos. Fortunately, a Crew member had the means to help out.
Funding continued to dry up. After the first wave of cuts where we lost the two developers and a head admin, things cooled down for a while. Recently, a general system administrator was cut off which got interesting at one point when CB suffered a denial of service attack to which the host (GreenQloud) responded with moving the servers to a different IP address. However, the domain name had to be updated as well to point to the new address. Since our sysadmin was not getting paid, he refused to perform this, essentially holding the site hostage for a while.
So how do we get money? The site had ads for a while which obviously was not enough. We may have been naive thinking that upping the quality of the site would be a good move, which was promised more times we bother to count. GGL thought otherwise. In fact, many of the cool features our gamers would have loved to see on the website were never implemented - because "CBv2" was supposedly just around the corner.
Their first bold move was trying to get adult banners on CB - a website that was home for thousands of teenagers. The Crew was shocked and appalled by this. Fortunately, we managed to get our voice through (by threatening to go on strike) - but we also lost several valuable crew members who had enough of the poor conditions and bad decisionmaking.
Next to adult material, gambling can also be a good source of income. The Poker and Betting ladders were introduced. It is doubtful that much money was ever made of this, at least nobody said otherwise. The only thing certain is that these projects never got off the ground.
A poor attempt was also made to gather money in the form of offering VIP membership. Nobody took this very seriously and as expected, nobody bothered to opt in after a while. The only benefit to having VIP was the ability to get rid of some of the ads. Perhaps a regular donation system would've been more useful.
By the end of August 2013, yet another problem surfaced: the money ran out for the hosting. This is when CB started to go down every month when the time came to pay for the next 30 days.
Of course we tried contacting GGL through our manager who was in charge of handling communications. As you may have guessed by now, he also failed to receive his payment for a while and a company owing money to you, and who knows how many others, is not in a hurry to get back to you.
The ClanBase management tried to directly contact the GGL founder and president Ted Owen (since everyone else left), with very little success. Whenever we got a response it usually consisted of no more than a few words.
The last we heard from him, he stated that "GGL will move on without ClanBase, and besides, why did the Crew never put any money in it?"
Mr. Owen, the Crew put time in it. A lot of time... for free. Every day. And to clarify, nobody has ever reached out to us to ask for any kind of financial aid. Not that we would've ever agreed to anything if the money had to go through GGL as that would've resulted in the money never reaching its intended destination.
Ultimately, we understand that our users would have expected us to come out with the truth sooner. It has taken us three weeks to make a public statement - but the only reason it took so long is that we were trying to not lose the hope and to reach out to mr. Owen. Unfortunately, our last request (or offer) to him - to release the ClanBase site to the crew for us to be able to continue running it on our own, without the GGL - was not welcomed.
It is thus our sad duty to inform you that ClanBase is gone. We would like to sincerely thank over a thousand admins working on the website over the past 15 years of ClanBase's existence. And an even bigger thanks goes out to all the players who supported us over the years and who did not lose faith no matter what.
This writing has not come easily because ClanBase has been a big part of our lives, and we definitely did not want to see it end like this.

Indonesia's exports were vital to its economic development, as exports earned the foreign exchange that permitted Indonesia'sto purchase raw materials and machinery necessary for industrial production and growth. During the 1980s, about 25 percent of domestic production, or GDP, was exported. Although petroleum was the most important export, other exports included agricultural products such as rubber and coffee and a growing share of manufactured exports. In the late 1980s, the government classified about 70 percent of imports as raw materials or auxiliary goods for industry, about 25 percent of imports as capital goods, primarily transportation equipment, and only around 5 percent of imports as consumer goods
Export earnings also contributed to Indonesia's ability to borrow from world financial markets and international development agencies. On average, about US$3 billion per year was borrowed during the 1980s. These borrowings primarily financed governmentsponsored development projects. However, increasing interest payment obligations in the late 1980s helped bring more restraint to government borrowing.
Indonesian exports were traditionally based on the country's rich natural resources and agricultural productivity, making the economy vulnerable to the vicissitudes of changing world prices for these types of products. For example, the Dutch colonial economy suffered when world sugar prices collapsed during the Great Depression, and fifty years later, the New Order endured the dramatic oil market collapse in the mid-1980s. Manufactured exports offered the prospect of more stable export markets during the 1980s, but even these products were threatened by increased trade protection among industrial countries. To avoid heavy reliance on a few trade partners, the government pursued several measures to diversify export markets, especially to other developing nations such as China and Indonesia's fellow members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
Substantial trade reforms during the 1980s contributed to the surge in manufactured exports from Indonesia. The most important manufactured export was plywood, whose domestic production was facilitated by the ban on log exports in the early 1980s. In 1990 plywood accounted for over 10 percent of total merchandise exports. Although not yet significant individually, a wide range of manufactured products, including electrical machinery, paper products, cement, tires, and chemical products, helped bring overall manufactured exports to 35 percent of merchandise exports, or a total of US$9 billion in 1990, up from less than US$2 billion in 1984The growth in non-oil exports helped Indonesia maintain a positive trade balance throughout the 1980s in spite of the oil market
collapse. However, increases in imports, service costs such as foreign shipping, and interest payments on outstanding foreign debt all contributed to a worsening current account deficit in the late 1980s. The deficit more than doubled from US$1.1 billion in 1989 to US$2.4 billion in 1990. The 1991 current account deficit was predicted to reach as high as US$6 billion. The government had successfully avoided a debt crisis in the early 1980s when many developing countries, including the neighboring Philippines, were forced to temporarily halt debt repayments. In a comparative study of Indonesia and other debtor nations, economists Wing Thye Woo and Anwar Nasution argued that Indonesia'ssuccess was due to two main factors: heavy reliance on long-term concessional loans and sustained high exports because of a willingness to devalue the exchange rate even when oil export revenues were buoyant (see Monetary and Exchange Rate Policy , this ch.). When dollar interest rates soared in the early 1980s, Indonesia'saverage interest rate on long-term debt was 16 percent compared with over 20 percent paid by Brazil and Mexico.
By 1990 Indonesia'stotal outstanding foreign debt had reached US$54 billion, more than double the amount in 1983. Over 80 percent of this debt was either lent directly to the government or guaranteed by the government. Measures to reduce foreign borrowing together with the rise in export earnings brought the debt service ratio from 35 percent in 1989 to 30 percent in 1990 (see Government Finance , this ch.). Indonesiacontinued to rely heavily on borrowing from official creditors rather than private sources such as commercial banks or bond issues. In 1990 US$33 billion, or 75 percent, of government debt was from official creditors; of this amount, US$18.5 was at concessional terms. In 1990 US$5 billion in new loan commitments from official creditors were secured at an average interest rate of 5.7 percent, with an average maturity of twenty-three years, whereas US$1 billion in new commitments from private creditors entailed a 7.4 percent interest rate and an average of fifteen years maturity.
The mounting government concern over foreign debt led to the establishment of a Foreign Debt Coordinating Committee in 1991, which included ten cabinet ministers chaired by the coordinating minister for economics, finance, industry, and development supervision. The committee was given broad powers to document and coordinate all foreign borrowing that was related to either the central government budget or the state enterprise sector. Although in theory this debt excluded private-sector foreign borrowing, such borrowing could be included if the investment project received any state financing or supply contracts from state enterprises. The power of this committee was made apparent in its first initiative in 1991, which postponed until 1995 four major energy and petrochemical projects representing a total investment of US$10 billion.
Multilateral aid to Indonesia was long an area of international interest, particularly with the Netherlands, the former colonial manager of Indonesia'seconomy. Starting in 1967, the bulk of Indonesia'smultilateral aid was coordinated by an international group of foreign governments and international financial organizations, the Inter-Governmental Group onIndonesia (IGGI--see Glossary). The IGGI was established by the government of the Netherlands and continued to meet annually under Dutch leadership, although Dutch aid accounted for less than 2 percent of the US$4.75 billion total lending arranged through the IGGI for FY 1991. The Netherlands, together with Denmark and Canada, suspended aid to Indonesia following the Indonesian army shootings of at least fifty demonstrators in Dili, Timor Timur Province, in November 1991 (see Political Dynamics , ch. 4). The shootings led to international protests against government policy in the former colony of Portuguese Timor, which had been forcefully incorporated into the Indonesian nation in 1976 without international recognition. Indonesian minister of foreign affairs Ali Alatas announced in March 1992 that the Indonesian government would decline all future aid from the Netherlands as part of a blanket refusal to link foreign assistance to human rights issues, and requested that the IGGI be disbanded and replaced by the Consultative Group onIndonesia (CGI--see Glossary) formed by the World Bank.
Indonesia's major aid donors--Japan, the World Bank, and the Asian Development Bank (see Glosssary)--contributed about 80 percent of IGGI-coordinated assistance, and were willing to continue assistance outside the IGGI framework. Other donors, however, such as the European Community, had charter clauses refusing financial assistance to governments that violated human rights. Although European Community did not sever its aid ties to Indonesia following the 1991 events in East Timor, human rights concerns were expected to affect subsequent negotiations

In some recent posts, I have discussed my natural great-grandfathers on my father's side, Frank Chatman (or Chapman) and Omar Alfred Gearhart. After Omar Alfred Gearhart's death, his family sunk into dire poverty. Some of the children, excluding the older children and the baby Omar Alfred Gearhart, Jr., were put up for adoption. My grandfather was adopted by Walter Swier and his wife Laura Helen Schmidt Swier.
I have written about this adoption before. Essentially Gertrude Perkins Gearhart brought her plight—she had heard state authorities were moving to remove her children from her home—to her pastor, who discussed the matter with his church congregation. The members of the church congregation came forward to adopt the children and enabled most of them, with the exception of my grandfather's brother Frank, to grow up knowing each other and their natural mother.
At the time of the adoption the Swiers had no sons of their own, but they had three daughters: Helen Marie (born 15 March 1921, about nine months older than my grandfather), Carol Mae (born 12 December 1925), and Naomi Ruth (born 2 October 1928).
Later the family would welcome Elizabeth Ann on 4 October 1931 and Dorcas Pauline on 13 March 1933.
From everything I've learned about Walter Swier and Laura Schmidt Swier, as well as the rest of their family, I am convinced my grandfather was supremely lucky to become a part of their family. They were kind, generous, intelligent people.
Walter Swier was the son of Dutch immigrants Dirk and Aaltje Swier. He was born on 1 May 1894 in Sioux County, Iowa, after his parents had emigrated to America in March, 1893. Dirk's decision to immigrate followed the advice of his doctor, who advised him to move to a place with a hot, dry climate to alleviate a lung condition. I'm not sure what his lung condition was, but tubercular patients were often advised to move to warmer climates. They eventually settled in Moxee, Washington, near Yakima.
Walter married Laura Helen Schmidt on 15 March 1920. By the 1930 census, the family were living in Cowiche, Washington, where they held huge family gatherings that my dad recalls attending. Walter grew apples, which seems to be one of most typically "Washington" occupations to have.
I cannot find his World War I draft registration card, but the 1930 Census lists him as a World War I veteran. There is a Walter Swier who appears on muster rolls for the US Marine Corps during the war, but I cannot be certain he is my great-grandfather because another Walter Swier born the year after my grandfather in South Dakota does have a World War I draft registration card.
On the occasion of his parents' 50th anniversary, Walter Swier wrote a tribute to his parents that was read at a family gathering by Walter's daughter Betty.
Because of adoption and other more mysterious family events, my father has four grandfathers instead of two. Of the four grandfathers, Walter Swier is the only one he knew in his lifetime, as his other grandfathers were either deceased or not a part of his life. My father has very fond memories of Walter Swier. Before he shipped out for service in Vietnam, my father visited his family, including his grandfather Walter, in Washington. It would be the last time he would see his grandfather, who died on 5 July 1974.

The price of these services are contingent upon the individual embassies and will vary accordingly.
Our service is reasonably priced, and we can have your documents legalised within three days.
An Explanation of Notary Services in Northern Ireland (Notary Public Solicitors Newry)
We can issue notarial certifications for every country in the world. When documents issued or signed in the UK are to be used in a different country, it is often necessary to have those documents Notarised and/or Legalised under Apostille. Notarial Certificates and/or Apostille Legalisations may be required, amongst other, for the following documents:
- Powers of Attorney for worldwide use
- International Affidavits, Sworn Statements, and Depositions
- Commercial Documents for Worldwide use
- Corporate Documents for Worldwide use
- Certificates of Incorporation for Worldwide use
- Certificates of Good Standing for Worldwide use
- Certified Translations
- Language Certificates
- Education Certificates for Worldwide use
- Doctors and Dentists Examination Submission
- Birth Certificates
- Change of Name
- Marriage Certificates & Confirmation of Single Status
- Certified Copy Documents
- Statutory Declarations
- Legalisation Services at Embassies and Consulates for Worldwide use
If the country where the UK documents are to be used is not a signatory to The Hague Convention 1961, the UK documents will need to be Legalised in the following manner:
- Foreign & Commonwealth Office will need to certify the authenticity of the UK Officer's signature and/or seal (e.g. the Notary's signature and seal); and
- The Embassy, Consulate or Chamber of Commerce (as the case may be) of the country where the documents are to be used will need to certify the authenticity of the above Foreign & Commonwealth Office certificate.

There are currently 24 ethanol production plants in Nebraska, with a combined production capacity of nearly 2.2 billion gallons of ethanol each year—and requiring nearly 500 million bushels of grain in the process.
These ethanol plants represent more than $1.4 billion in capital investment in the state and provide direct employment for some 1000 Nebraskans.
Nebraska ranks second nationally in ethanol production—and is the largest ethanol producer west of the Missouri River. Geographic position, abundant ethanol supply and reliable, competitive rail transportation give Nebraska a strategic advantage in serving ethanol markets in the western U.S.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men books comes the next installment in the Saints of Denver series.
Everyone else in Dixie Carmichael's life has made falling in love look easy, and now she is ready for her own chance at some of that happily ever after. Which means she's done pining for the moody, silent former soldier who works with her at the bar that's become her home away from home. Nope. No more chasing the hot as heck thundercloud of a man and no more waiting for Mr. Right to find her; she's going hunting for him...even if she knows her heart is stuck on its stupid infatuation with Dash Churchill.
Denver has always been just a pit stop for Church on his way back to rural Mississippi. It was supposed to be simple, uneventful, but nothing could have prepared him for the bubbly, bouncy redhead with doe eyes and endless curves. Now he knows it's time to get out of Denver, fast. For a man used to living in the shadows, the idea of spending his days in the sun is nothing short of terrifying.
When Dixie and Church find themselves caught up in a homecoming overshadowed with lies and danger, Dixie realizes that while falling in love is easy, loving takes a whole lot more work…especially when Mr. Right thinks he's all wrong for you.

I loved my life. I had a job that I
enjoyed going to every day, and I worked with people I adored and admired. I
was never going to be a millionaire doing what I did, but I was good at it and
most of the time it felt more like spending time with friends than actual work.
I loved and was deeply loved back by my family, even if my younger sister was
an idiot. I had a cute apartment, an active social life, and great freaking
There wasn't a lot I could complain
about on a day-to-day basis and things that did get under my skin were things I
had a hard time explaining to anyone that didn't grow up knowing love at first
sight was real and that when you found the other half of your heart life was
infinitely better.
I was only twenty-six, still plenty
of time to live life and settle down, but I felt ancient and overlooked when I
compared myself to my younger sister. She'd found the fairy tale our parents
had laid out for us when she was still in high school and I got nothing but
lonely nights and a string of dates so bad no one believed me when I tried to
tell them how awful they really were.
I jolted when there was a knock at
the door behind me, making my ears ring since my head was still resting against
the wood. Dolly growled low in her throat when she felt me tense up, so I put
my hand on the top of her broad head and used the peephole to see who was
interrupting my pity party.
My new neighbor, the girl who moved
like a ghost and spoke so softly I often had to struggle to hear what she was
saying, stood on the other side. Poppy Cruz, quiet, withdrawn, but so sweet and
smitten with my dog. I'd totally leveraged that love she had for my pet into a
budding friendship that Poppy was obviously reluctant to have.
I knew some of her history through
stories from her friends and family who were all regulars at my bar, so I was
careful not to push too hard even though all I wanted to do was cuddle her and
tell her the clouds have to part on even the darkest of days. She was
comfortable enough with me now to knock on my door well past the acceptable
visiting hours, so there was no way I was going to leave her standing in the
hall, even if that meant my wine and sob-fest were further delayed.
I pulled the door open and Dolly
immediately lunged for the visitor on the other side. Poppy was willowy but she
had no trouble bracing for the impact from the dog and she seemed just as
excited to receive the slobbery kisses as Dolly was to give them.
"I heard you talking out in the
hallway and I just wanted to see how your date went. It didn't sound like it
ended on the best note." Her quiet voice drifted to me as I shook my head and
"It didn't start on a great note
either. He showed up with his mom, can you believe that? I need a glass of
wine, do you want one?"
She wrinkled her delicate nose and
wrestled the big dog into the apartment so she could shut the door behind her.
"I don't drink, but thank you."
She didn't do much of anything. The
product of a very strict and religious upbringing, Poppy was as straight and
narrow as one could get. She'd suffered severely at the hands of a man her
father had handpicked for her and it was clear that every single day was one
more step in the process of healing from that.
"I forgot. I'm in the bar so often I
forget that there are humans in this world that can cope without alcohol." I
lifted an eyebrow at her and made my way into the kitchen. "I'm not one of
She laughed lightly like I meant her
to and followed me into the tiny galley-style kitchen.
"So his mom?" Her eyes were the color
of hot cider and they gleamed with gentle humor. She was impossible not to like
and as much as I wanted a different life for myself I also wanted one for her.
I hated that her history was so ugly, but I loved that she'd survived it and
was pushing herself to live beyond her experiences. That was beautiful and hinted
at an inner strength her delicate appearance kept hidden.
I snorted again and rolled my eyes.
"I thought the guy that took off halfway through the date with my wallet was as
bad as it could get. I was wrong. Really wrong."

Cbd Oil in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan
With the new laws about to come into effect in Canada the main question everyone is asking
"Will Cbd Oil still be available through growers in the US and will they still be reasonably priced or will the Gov't of Canada try to tax them like the Medical Thc products that they are trying to control?"
To be honest at this time we don't really know. Not a good
answer but if you live here in Canada you realize our Gov't may change it's mind about things fairly quick.
Right now is a good time to get involved with a company from the US that will be shipping it's product into Canada.
Here is one of them it's 99% Cbd oil and is Thc Free.
This is pure CBD Isolate with a purity of approximately 99%. This product has been known to target pain, anxiety, nausea, muscle spasms and seizures. This product contains zero THC, having no known side-effects, which allows for safely consuming at a higher concentration. Suggested Use: 20 drops (1/2 dropper) in the morning and 20 drops in the evening, more if desired. Drop onto your tongue or use in food & drinks. Natural peppermint flavor.
You can check out our website for more information at https://buyhempcbdproducts.com
For now get on the list for Cbd Oil

If you drink wine, there's a good chance you measure intake by the glass.
Here's why that's problematic: Modern wine glasses are seven times larger than those of centuries ago—and notably bigger than glasses that are just two decades old, according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge analyzed more than 400 antique and modern wine glasses, including some of various British monarchs, and determined the average and median size of glasses has increased gradually since the 1700s, but with a "more marked" bump in the 1990s, per NBC News.
Centuries ago, wine glasses held about 2.2 ounces on average, reports Quartzy. But by 2000, they held about 10 ounces, per the BBC. Today they hold more than 16 ounces, or about half a liter, according to the study in the British Medical Journal.
Wine consumption has similarly increased, quadrupling in Britain between 1960 and 1980, then doubling again from 1980 to 2004, per the Guardian. Researchers suggest a link between the increased consumption and bigger glasses, arguing that people pour more wine into a larger glass, which makes the amount seem less than if it were in a smaller glass. (The researchers focused on the Brits, but they say that a trend in the US toward bigger glasses likely had an influence.) Some say other factors explain why people are drinking out of larger glasses, with wine expert Miles Beale noting that they allow wine to aerate, "something which perhaps wasn't a priority 300 years ago." (Avoid merlot? You might want to reconsider.)

Want to help out on the PHP project but not sure where to start? Lukas Smith suggests helping out with the wiki (at wiki.php.net).
I feel that I can make more of a difference in these other [personal] projects. [...] I hope others will pick up the slack and make sure that PDO gets love, at people diligently follow up on todo items mentioned on internals and that someone else picks up wiki.php.net and takes care of some regular maintenance stuff.
He mentions one thing specifically - an update that will need to happen to the Dokuwiki software the wiki runs on. If you're interested, send Lukas an email/leave a comment and he'll point you in the right direction.

I am trying to gather info for future LIMS changes and recently a colleague mentioned that while their Grouping data was migrated to the new LIMS, this was a Read-Only copy, therefore the delta checking function wouldnt work against this data ( ie wouldnt alert if the group of a new sample was discrepant).
The impact of this set up would be:
1) all requests for blood would have to be serologically cross-matched, as EI criteria not met as only one recognised group on LIMS (until a second sample tested).
2) increased cross-matching for at least a few months- is this considered as part of resourcing- 24/7 workload ?
3) process for authorising all G&S tests would have to change- with a manual check against the historical read-only data- again for what length of time would this continue?
Considering the number of wrong blood in tubes that are recorded by SHOT and detected by the LIMS delta check rules, this active automated checking against the sample historical group is a critical process step during authorisation. If this is now having to be performed manually -will also affect sample TATs.
Im sure there are colleagues out there that have already changed LIMS- please advise if some systems are capable of delta checking against the migrated data, or if the above is routine.
Many thanks!
