Look at this all original 1959 18k. solid yellow gold LONGINES flagship with 34mm. (1.3 inch) case having all the detail remaining and NOT polished away! The original LONGINES winding crown is present. The 51 year old dial has some ageing, but really does look very good with the naked eye and retains the original rose markers and Dauphine, pitched hands. The manual winding LONGINES movement is very high quality-just cleaned and accurate. This is a fine all original Longines flagship.

Guillermo Klein
"Los Guachos V"
Guillermo Klein, the Argentine pianist and composer, has an affinity for transforming highly methodical designs into music that feels soulful and uncalculating. His primary vehicle over the last 20 years has been Los Guachos, 11 elite musicians stationed in Buenos Aires and New York.
"Los Guachos V," Mr. Klein's captivating new album, contains two suites, "Suite Indiana" and "Suite Jazmin," composed using techniques of inversion and retrograde. In plain talk, this means that Mr. Klein is toying with elements of structure — altering a harmonic or melodic sequence by flipping it, running it backward or otherwise mirroring its shape.
Reverse motion has been an interest of Mr. Klein's for a while now: The opening track of "Los Guachos II," from 1999, involves a tape played backward, with Spanish lyrics written as a palindrome. But he's pushing toward a less disorienting effect here and keeping his process in the background. The ensemble — powered by a brilliant rhythm section with Ben Monder on guitar, Fernando Huergo on electric bass, Richard Nant on percussion and Jeff Ballard on drums — plays this music straight, both accepting and ignoring the overarching premise.
"Suite Jazmin," in seven movements, gives Mr. Klein's concept a clear platform. It opens with "Symmetry I" and closes with "Symmetry II" — two perspectives on the same idea, operating first in a processional hum and later in a quieter, darker mood. "Burrito Hill Mirror," a reordering of Mr. Klein's recent piece "Burrito Hill," features an uneven chime like that of a windup music box, beautiful but subtly unsettled. "Human Feel Mirror" more closely evokes its precursor, a polyrhythmic sprint with oblique connections to underground rock and postminimalism.
The musicians, attuned to Mr. Klein's methods, imbue this music with exquisite lightness. You won't hear a trace of the cerebral in Miguel Zenón's imploring alto saxophone lead on "Jazmin," or in Mr. Monder's distorted yet airy solo on "Si No Sabes 4/4." As a whole, Los Guachos have an uncanny knack for turning complex mechanisms into something flowing and natural.
This is wickedly effective on familiar themes — like the Tin Pan Alley tune "(Back Home Again in) Indiana," which inspired Miles Davis to write the bebop tune "Donna Lee." Both of these tunes are subjected to head-spinning revision in "Suite Indiana," a model illustration of how to run standard material through a personal prism, with seriousness and flair.

In this provocative piece Billy writes about the current industry of Christian based racial reconciliation and failure to address the work of restorative justice. Billy lays out how theologies of reconciliation too often fall short and provides a way forward for progressive minded Christians who support reparations as an important step of reconciliation.
Black Churches and the Neglected Public Pastor-Theologian
In this insightful post Billy lifts up the importance of the public pastoral model of ministry. He also shows how this model of ministry has been neglected in contemporary life because it's not as sexy as some other models. In addition, Billy shows how the public minister tradition, though marginal, has always been an important part of American social life and then he concludes by offering a clarion call for the rise of more public pastor-theologians.

Bad examples
Bad ideas seem to be finding their way to Wakefield with some regularity of late, which is why you should always be aware of what's going on in nearby communities. Forewarned is forearmed as they say, and in Massachusetts there's never a shortage of "initiatives" to be forewarned about. Let's start with the least dubious […]

Happy traditional Columbus Day!
As every kid in America used to know, it was on Oct. 12, 1492 that Columbus discovered America. Most kids also learned the little poem that began, "In fourteen hundred ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue." I learned it in kindergarten at Miss Hope's progressive Studio School on Montrose Avenue. Do schools still teach that […]

End of Year Observances
When I speak of "end of year observances" I'm not attempting to concoct a new euphemism for "the holidays," although, now that it's come up, it seems as good a place as any to begin. I won't talk about any "War on Christmas," which is probably about as worthy of serious consideration as the "War […]

Marching Orders
I love a parade. I'm especially fond of the Wakefield, MA Independence Day Parade, having attended most of them since the Eisenhower Administration. Over the years, I became less interested in the clowns and more interested in the politicians. In other words, my tastes haven't changed very much. The 2012 Wakefield Independence Day Parade featured […]

Columbus: the Man and the Myth
Another holiday, another opportunity to vilify the United States. Actually, the upcoming Columbus Day holiday is just a warm-up for the Thanksgiving main event. We know the narrative by now. Christopher Columbus was not a heroic explorer who discovered a new world. He was a villain who set in motion the centuries-long American reign of […]

Just the two beers today.
A Brooklyn lager, a Vienna Lager 5,2% I thought is was slightly dry and a bitter.
The kind of beer or thre you have when lawn mowing afternoon or sitting on the balcony reading.
The other beer was a Clown Shoes Clementine White Ale 6%, perhaps just as easy to drink as the lager.
Other than being a bit more robust I didnt take note of much else.
Which maybe goes to show how easy to drink it is. The bottle label seems to suggest that Clown Shoes Beer is Brewed by Mercury Brewers. Maybe it would be more accurate to say that Clown Shoes is brewed at the Mercury Brewing Company, either way I don't suppose it matters, it is still a pretty good beer.

Feeling a bit out of sorts, tired or distracted? Here is a really simple guided relaxation technique to slow you down a touch, reconnect you with your body and fire you up for your next adventure.
Based on breathing, some cool images and you at the centre of it all, you can use this on it's own or to set you up for any of the other 'How to Pause' techniques on this site such as 'The Backwards Slide', 'Scooping the Loop' and so on.
Enjoy :)
Sit comfortably, on a chair, some cushions on the floor or in upright bed.
Close your eyes and focus for a few moments on your breath.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in... visualise your strong sturdy skeleton.
Breathe out... tell all the strong bones in your body to relax.
Breathe in...
Breathe out... soften all the strong bones that keep you upright.
Breathe in...
Breathe out... feel the strong structure of your body melt a little.
Breathe in... picture all the tendons and ligaments and strong elasticky tissue around your joints.
Breathe out... tell your tendons, ligaments and joints to relax.
Breathe in...
Breathe out... really feel it as the spaces between your bones become a little less rigid.
Breathe in... go and meet all the muscly meat in your body.
Breathe out... tell your muscles to relax.
Breathe in... feel that softness in the muscle.
Breathe out...imagine all that muscly meat softening up just a little.
Breathe in... feel that.
Breathe out... relax a little more.
Breathe in... pull the crown of your head up a few millimetres away from your hips.
Breathe out... imagine heavy wings attached to your shoulders pulling them down away from your ears.
Breathe in... feel that.
Breathe out... relax a little more.
Breathe in... raise up your breastbone a little up and forward as though it's being hooked up and out.
Breathe out... sink a little deeper into your hips.
Breathe in... become aware of the vast expanse of sky above your head, endless and open.
Breathe out... become aware of the deep dark earth beneath your bum.
Breathe in... expand your lungs, muscles, tendons and bones out into that endless open space.
Breathe out... watch the breath travel out of the body into that open endless space
Breathe in... into the space between the atoms of your body (none of which touch)
Breathe out....
Breathe in... feel that.
Breathe out... relax a little more.
Breathe in... become aware of the layers below you.
Breathe out...
Breathe in... dive down through the layers into the fire at the centre of the earth.
Breathe out... imagine a cord connecting you to that fire and power.
Breathe in.... draw that fire up into your body.
Breathe out... feel the fire coursing through you.
Breathe in... how does it feel to be full of the fire of the earth?
Breathe out... how does it feel?
Breathe in... remember you can connect with this fire anytime you want
Breathe out...
Breathe in...
Breathe out...
Take your time coming out of the meditation before you head off on your next adventure :)
Don't forget to tell us in the comments below how you got on...

The existence of the Hasbara propagandists isn't even something new; we've seen them around for years. They used to go into full operation only at times when the Zionists were in the news, as when they invaded Lebanon in 2006 or Gaza after that. But in recent times they seem to be active all the time, without cease. The fact that the Zionist entity is under fairly unrelenting pressure these days – fast losing the sympathy of Europe, and even Obama occasionally making grumbling noises – may have something to do with it.
Point out to the rest of the online forum that the person is an HP, and give the reasons (you are welcome to post a link to this article if you wish). Then ignore the HP completely. It is not in your own interests to waste your time and raise your blood pressure to fight with a professional liar whose only purpose is to waste your time and raise your blood pressure.

The Home Is Project is looking for 2 actors for the small scale tour of Ilé La Wà which will be opening at Stratford Circus for a 4 show run between 21 – 23 June. Could it be you?
The Play
How do you belong to a place that does not see you?
Four strangers are about to become collateral damage in the government's plans to create a hostile environment for illegal immigrants. Detained together after a random spot check in London, they begin to unravel in the pressure-filled holding room, where they are left without answers. Some of them are undocumented migrants, others insist they are not – but all are certain that whatever the situation, the UK is their home. At least, the only home they have left.
At a time when displacement is a constant, Britain is faced with the windrush deportation saga, Brexit and a war on immigration, Ilé la Wà interrogates what it means to say we are home. You claim Britain. Has it chosen you?
Who we Need
Ronu - Young black man who can pass for 16 – 18 and can play younger. This character came to the UK as an undocumented minor at the age of 9 and discovered he wasn't British when it was time to apply for uni. He's been threatened with deportation and is currently going through the bureaucratic nightmare of immigration control. Strong but emotional.
Ellie - Middle age black high level professional woman who can play 35 - 45. Very well put together, refined & uppity. The character's had a difficult foster child history but hides it. She's consumed by work & wants to be defined by her achievements and not her background. She's keen to distance herself from her blackness.
Possible audition date: 4th May Production: 21 – 23 June Other dates: Between August and November TBC Rehearsal schedule: 4 – 20th June Fee: £500pw inclusive of expenses. Travel and accommodation expenses outside London relevant to future dates will be covered by the company.
If you are interested, Please send an expression of your interest with a telephone number to email@example.com including your spotlight / website / starnow / casting call pro etc. link (which should contain your cv and headshot) and if you are not a member of Spotlight, a cv, a headshot and a showreel if available.

I have been putting myself out there a lot lately. I've been applying to shows and writing proposals with Beate (my collaborator) and on my own. And I/we have been getting a lot of rejections.
At the same time, I have had the opportunity to be on the other side: the one who is looking for a certain something and having to say "no, this is not right." I just sent out a group of rejection letters to young poets, possibly their first opportunity to receive such a thing, and my stomach hurts from doing it. However, being on the side that has to make a choice has reiterated what I know but sometimes don't have the self confidence to remember:
- Rejection does not mean that the work is not good.
- Rejection does not mean that I/you are not an artist, writer, etc.
- Rejection does not mean that I/you are not a good artist, writer, etc.
Rejection means that it isn't right for the circumstances: it doesn't meet the needs of the person doing the choosing, it doesn't go with the other art that will be on the wall, it isn't in season, whatever.
And yes, rejection means you have to try again and hope you/I hit the right note at the right time.
Greg Lundgren in his Vital 5 Productions book has this great assignment to create an exhibit of rejection letters. Because, of course, getting rejected means you tried. and tried and tried and tried. And I want to be someone who tries.
So, perhaps this pep talk is for me, perhaps it is for you. Perhaps it is an apology for those poets I had to write my note to telling them that indeed their work was not right for the circumstances. I hope they continue to write. And since making art is in and of itself what I want to do, I will continue to make and I will do what I can to share.
And now, I leave you with a recent image.

If life was a movie, this might have actually worked. Heck, he might've been able to do it with that tow truck going 70mph on the highway switching lanes. However, life isn't a Vin Diesel movie and no car, especially this guy's small sedan, is going to come out of that "maneuver" without an aggressive amount of damage. Just landing on all four wheels would've been a longshot at best.
We aren't given a lot of context as to why his car was up on the tow truck, but that doesn't matter. I'm concerned about whatever possessed him to think this was his best option. I know that having your car towed can be infuriating. Even worse might be catching the tow truck driver in the act. You try to reason with him that you were just about to move your car while he gives you the classic, "I'm just doing my job," speech. So on that point, I can sympathize.
However, all that sympathy went out the window when he decided to give whoever towed his car the stupidest FU I have ever seen. Because of that, he went from paying a vehicle-release fee to paying repair costs and possibly scheduling a court date. Thank you for the great laugh, sir. "But sorry about your car man."

A Healthy Body Habits For Skateboarders
Many skateboarders make the most of their a healthy body. They think they don't have to become caught up' within the health kick that a lot of athletes and ladies are participating with. For a lot of, their concept of a nutritious breakfast is really a bag of chips along with a diet soda. Some avoid eating breakfast whatsoever.
To be able to be considered a good skate boarder and also to stick out over the relaxation, you need to take good proper care of the body. For a lot of professional skateboarders, skateboarding is the only way of earnings. Many be worried about getting hurt so that they purchase special padded clothing therefore if they fall, it will not be as painful.
Many spend considerable time practicing how to prevent a significant fall. Rarely will a skate boarder purchase their own health. Staying away from falls, bumps, bruises and damaged braches is important but you might also need to consider proper care of your inner health. Skateboarders should practice twists and turns although not if this involves a healthy body.
The initial step to maintaining a healthy body would be to ditch the bad consumer habits. Ditch the eating unhealthy foods in the morning or otherwise eating breakfast whatsoever. If you're not a breakfast eater, possess a wholesome bowl of cerealit takes under ten minutes to consume a proper bowel of cereal or grab a proper breakfast bar that contains vitamins.
During the day, try staying away from consuming lots of sugar healed juices for example soda and unnaturally flavored fruit drinks. Drink a minimum of six to eight portions of freshwater each day. If consuming six to eight portions of water appears impossible, split up. Drink 2 portions of water throughout breakfast together with your vitamins. Drink 2 portions of water throughout the first area of the morning, 2 portions of water throughout lunch and a pair of portions of water throughout dinner.
The initial step in mastering the game is obviously, obtaining a reliable board. It's possible to obtain the closest sports shop, rent, or perhaps borrow one from the friend. Getting some background on the differing types of skateboard configurations can help one choose the best board. When just beginning, one method to acquaint a person's self is as simple as riding to some friend's house, or in a local park, or in a mall parking area. Before really hopping around the board, you ought to be outfitted not just using the proper gear, however with the understanding of essential safety precautions too. As the saying goes, safety comes first.
Everybody must take a multivitamin everyday. After consuming your breakfast or meal during the day, you should have a vitamin. This can ultimately provide you with an additional boost of one's daily. Make certain that you simply talk to your physician before using supplements. Your physician can suggest what make of vitamins. Basketball and football gamers aren't the sole athletes who get ready for a game title. Skateboarders are actually understanding the important stages in maintaining a healthy body.

We had a good time looking through all those booths for the perfect paper, stamps, die cuts, etc. I spent a little more than I wanted to but I couldn't help myself, they had sooo many fun things! Thank goodness they only have it twice a year. Actually once a year might be safer for me. :) I know exaclty who will be getting this Easter box. Oh yeah, I filled it with chocolate and caramel Easter eggs for them, shh.... yummy! I can't believe Easter is only a few days away.

We joined Songbird 50 and have the other aft master cabin with white sheets!!!! We have our own ensuite. The weather was looked up, tides considered and the cruising guide consulted and we set off for Pulau Tiga 30 mn away. "We", the crew, didn't have to do any of this. Too slack! The sails did go up briefly when a little bit of wind came up but the iron headsails got us there.
Pulau Tiga was the site of a Survivor series long ago and the "Survivor Resort" looked like the perfect place for sundowners. They, unfortunately, didn't have any guests or cold beer but we're happy for us to BYO.
The snorkelling was pretty good and was even better then next day round the corner at Pulau Kalampurnian and Snake Island where we saw 2 tiny Lion Fish but no famed sea snakes. It got a bit lively during the night , when a bit of wind came up and Ian sat up watching as we were close to reef. We went to bed and slept well. Ha! We're crew and leave all the excitement to the Skipper.
The following day we motored another 30nm to Pulau Gaya just 10 nm off the of Kota Kinabalu. There , we found a beautiful resort called Bunga Raya Resort and Spa and found a place to anchor on the slope of the reef. It was a bit tenuous..but not really my problem. The reef was interesting with some colour and lots of fish. I even saw a black and white brittle star.
We enjoyed a sundowner or two with our old pals from the South Pacific, Robyn and Simon on Kiwi Coyote then a very swanky dinner at the resort. They have 2 pet wild boars who hang round just as dinner is finishing. It is a little disconcerting when they come up to you snorting away with their long noses. We then had another peaceful night.
Our Captain , Ian , wanted to get a few jobs underway so booked for us in Sutera Harbour Marina at KK from 4th to 17th , so we have now been here 2 days. The marina is very nice with 2 hotels and a golf resort and 25% discount on meals and marina fees. We have already booked a dive trip and the North Borneo Railway excursion and may be the remaining time , when not doing boat jobs, can be spent in one of the 3 pools. Hard life!

Battle in Seattle big for Bell, Edi
Fri., Dec. 16, 2011, 3:17 p.m.
SEATTLE – Gary Bell Jr. gets a chance to play in front of family and friends. Guy Landry Edi gets a chance to play, period.
And Gonzaga (6-2) gets another chance to beef up its NCAA tournament resume when it takes on Arizona, which is also in need of a signature win, in the ninth edition of the Battle in Seattle. Tip-off is at 1 today at KeyArena.
Bell Jr., who had a decorated career at Kentridge High (Kent, Wash.), has fielded numerous ticket requests, so many that he's told buddies "family comes first." Bell Jr. is off to a nice start, averaging 8.8 points and nearly two rebounds per game. He moved into the starting lineup two games ago.
But that's only half of Bell Jr.'s impact. He's displayed the same defensive intensity from his high school days and on the AAU circuit that led a GU assistant coach to remark: "He never takes a defensive possession off."
"He's been terrific defensively," head coach Mark Few said. "When we go back and grade the games, he's been really solid."
Bell Jr. has guarded point guards, shooting guards and small forwards, including Oral Roberts' Dominique Morrison on Thursday. The 6-foot-1 Bell Jr. has also played down low in GU's 2-3 zone.
He's looking forward to his first opportunity to play at KeyArena, but he doesn't want to change his approach.
"Keep playing the way I've been playing," he said. "Defensively, just try to lock down on my guy and go from there."
Bell Jr. acknowledged there will be added incentive against Arizona (7-3), which reloaded from last year's Elite Eight run with a strong recruiting class that included guards Nick Johnson and Josiah Turner. The latter is returning from a one-game suspension.
"I played against them during AAU," Bell Jr. said. "I'm looking forward to playing against them, top guys who were ranked ahead of me."
Edi, who was suspended for the first eight games by the NCAA because he played on a French pro team when he was 15 and 16 years old, will make his season debut. He was permitted to play in Gonzaga's exhibition win over Carroll College. His last official game action was helping Midland (Texas) College defeat College of Southern Idaho in the NJCAA championship game last season.
"I'm going to bring a lot of energy and try to stop the best player on the other team," Edi said. "Offensively, I just want to make the simple play, not force anything and take shots I need to take."
The 6-foot-6, 218-pound Edi gives Few more options at both ends of the floor.
"He can really defend at a high level and he can make those," said Few, pointing at Edi as he buried a 3-pointer in Tuesday's practice. "I think he can score off the dribble a little bit and he'll rebound well for his position. It'll probably alleviate us having to play three little guys so much and it'll help us defensively.
"We've been moving parts around to try to hide these guys from getting posted up or getting blasted on the offensive glass."

Dana's Journal #14
I was 6 or 7 years old and Dad had me for the weekend. We set up my Barbie Dream House and all of the Ken and Barbie accessories in the apartment that was attached to the factory. I was playing with my Barbie Dolls while Dad prepared for a client he was expecting, About this time a very large black hand reached down, grabbed my Ken Doll and said "Would you still love me if I was black Barbie?". ( Please remember the US was still very segregated at this time.) This was first black man I had ever seen. I thought I had seen a monster. I ran screaming into the factory, stood on Dad's foot and hung onto his leg while he taking an order for a White Double Neck. Well, that black man was Jimi Hendrix and that white double neck is now in the Rock - N - Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio US.
Not very many little girls can say that they played Barbie Dolls with Jimi Hendrix. I kind of did ? lol
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog.
Till next time.

June 13th is my fathers birthday. Semie Moseley would be 83 years old. Also in the USA on the 3rd Sunday in June we celebrate Fathers Day. That makes June a melancholy month for me. I think of all the good times yet I still feel the heartache of him not being here.
I spent his last Birthday and Fathers Day with him at his home in Booneville, Arkansas. This was just before he went into the hospital. I don't know if you knew this but Dad collected elephants. So, for his Birthday I gave him, from the Hallmark Collection, a father elephant named Poppy and for Fathers Day I gave him a baby elephant named Peanut. These elephants were to represent him and me. See the pictures below and you can tell Poppy (Dad) has one straight leg as did Dad and Peanut (Me). Well over the last 26 years, Peanut has been dropped and kicked around so much she broke into pieces and had to be glued back together, just like me. We both have made it and are doing well.
Happy Birthday Dad. I sure do miss you.
Mosrite Forever,
Dana Moseley

I thought I would share a little Mosrite Trivia with you this time.
The Mosrite question I get asked the most:
Q. How did your Dad come up with that skinny neck for his guitars?
A. Mom and Dad were evangelists. They would travel from church to church singing a few songs. My Mom would preach and my Dad would make a chalk drawing about Mom's sermon. They would give the church the drawing in exchange for the offering. Dad was also working at Rickenbacker at this time. Mom was constantly complaining how the guitar hurt her fingers and cramped her wrist. So Dad designed a narrow neck with very, very low frets and made Mom a guitar for her to go with it. Now I have heard this part of the story two ways. 1. Dad built this guitar with Rickenbacker parts on Rickenbacker's time. He was fired for it. 2. My Uncle AJ (Andy Moseley) told me. That yes he did build the guitar on Rickenbacker's time but that he purchased the parts (that sounds more like my Dad). He still got fired.
That is how the skinny, low fret Mosrite neck, was invented.
Till next time,
Mosrite Forever,
Dana Moseley

So, you're a small business owner with a limited advertisement budget – that shouldn't stop you from spreading awareness about your products or services and making your presence felt in front of potential customers. There are ways to work around a limited budget and here are some solutions offered by leading advertising companies in Malaysia.
Develop a Content Rich Website
Advertising companies in Malaysia recommend creating an effective website to attract online traffic. It's very common for people today to research online before going to a store for making a purchase. By having a content-rich, user-friendly website, you can create the right impression and convince online prospects to visit your store and complete a purchase transaction.
Traditional Offline Advertising
Good old print and radio are still regarded as important media to connect with offline prospects. Well-designed brochure, newsletter, pamphlet, catalogue or even a business card are all tangible advertising material that communicate about your business and help establish a personal touch. Radio is a very effective broadcasting medium that is much cheaper to advertise on than TV. Outdoor advertising on billboards, lamp pole buntings can also help your local business get noticed.
Invest in ROI-Driven Online Advertising
Although time-consuming, online advertising is a cost-effective channel with the potential to deliver great ROI. There are many affordable online advertising solutions including e-mail marketing where you send emails to tell customers about promotions, new products, services etc. Advertising companies in Malaysia use online banner ads to grab attention on relevant websites. SEO is deployed to drive website traffic and PPC campaigns are great for targeted discovery.
Make a Splash on Social Media
A special mention needs to be made about advertising on social media platforms. With more and more people hanging out on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc, advertising companies in Malaysia are recommending advertising on the ones that are most visited by a client's audience to create a buzz around their business and offerings.
A good advertising agency understands that with limited budgets, campaigns need to be targeted, specific and results driven. Creativity and out-of-the-box thinking are two essential qualities that help advertising campaigns of small businesses stand out and get noticed. Don't settle for cookie-cutter solutions – get in touch with a responsive advertising company willing to listen to your needs and requirements!

The Freedom Team Salute (FTS) Program was launched yesterday in a Pentagon ceremony. Part of Operation Tribute to Freedom, FTS is a unique Army program that provides a way for Soldiers to recognize their team of supporters back home, including spouses, parents, and employers. In addition, as a special thanks to Army Veterans for their service and sacrifice, the Army will send a Freedom Team Salute Commendation package to United States Army Veterans who register with the program.
A Soldier's success is due in large part to the support of family and employers. FTS is a means to thank them for that support.
Soldiers should visit www.freedomteamsalute.army.mil to nominate a parent, spouse or employer for a Commendation package. Veterans can register at the same site for a Commendation package.
Each Commendation package contains:
- an official U.S. Army lapel pin (emblazoned with 'parent,' 'spouse,' or 'employer')
- an official U.S. Army decal
- a certificate of thanks signed by the Chief of Staff and the Secretary of the Army
- a letter of thanks signed by the Chief of Staff and the Secretary of the Army
The FTS team is also available to help communities and organizations plan Freedom Team Salute recognition ceremonies to recognize groups of families, veterans and employers. More information can be found on the website: www.freedomteamsalute.army.mil.

22nd Annual David E. Grange Best Ranger Competition results:
1st place, the Army's "Best Rangers" -- Capt. Corbett McCallum & Sgt. 1st Class Gerald Nelson
2nd place -- Capt. Frederick Ahern & Capt. Marc Messershmitt.
3rd place -- Master Sgt. James Moran & Sgt. 1st Class Walter Zajkowski.
The three-day Best Ranger Competition was established in 1982 and has been compared to Ironman and Eco-Challenge competitions. The competition challenges two-man Ranger teams in events that test their physical conditioning, Ranger skills and team strategies. The events are purposely scheduled back-to-back and around the clock for 60 hours, allowing little time for rest and meals.

The MPAA rating system consists of G, PG, PG-13, R, and NC-17. The system was enacted in 1922 with the Motion Picture Association of America's launch along with the Production Code, which revolved more on censoring material rather than informing parents about movie content.
G means that it is suitable for viewing by people of all ages. G-rated pictures do not necessarily mean children's motion pictures, It is meant for everyone of any age to watch.
PG means that parental guidance is suggested for very young children. As these films may not be suitable for children under age 7, parents may want to give parental guidance to them, as some material contains unsuitable content that parents may not like for their young children.
PG-13 means that parents are strongly advised to give parental guidance for their children under 13. However, children 12 and under can access such material because it is an unrestricted rating.
R means that children under 17 cannot see a film with that rating unless they are accompanied by their parents or adult guardians. R-rated material is usually ID'd when purchased to ensure that the buyer is at least 17 years of age.
NC-17 means No one 17 or under is admitted to the film under any circumstances. The rating does not mean "obscene" or "pornographic" in any granted way, but is used to signify that it contains adult material and only people aged 18 and above are allowed to see these films.
Out of these, G and R are the only two ratings to survive since the system's debut. There are former ones such as the GP rating, but those aren't in use anymore.
However, there are some movies that haven't been officially rated by the MPAA, hence "NR" for "Not Rated"; however, this usually occurs if the movie has not made its debut in the theaters or if the uncut version is released. The ratings are below: Please keep in mind NR rating means that the upcoming movie has not yet been review by the mpaa, later they will give the films its final rating: G, PG, PG-13, R or NC-17.

THE MOM EPISODE with Carmen (MY MOM)
This week Rebecca has the best guest of them all. Yes, it's her hilarious and perfect creator, mother Carmen. It is a very special and fun piece of podcasting for Rebecca!! Carmen(weird to not just say "mom") is telling her daughter about 6th grade crush FRANK and a bit about meeting Rebecca's DAD in HIGH SCHOOL. Insane. There's a lot of great shit, including: running through the streets like stray dogs, makeout parties, when Carmen was lowkey disgusting, an evil Yvette, a Sharks vs Jets (or "the Wakandan crew" vs "...the other crew or whatever") style RUMBLE, holding boys accountable, a moment of empowerment, when mom and dad were MISFITS, begging Griffin Newman to introduce Rebecca to Ezra Miller, Carmen calling her daughter a moron, a shocking revelation, PLUS, a rare appearance by incredible 10 year old brother Noah?? If you don't respect Rebecca's family you're banned from the pod.

A New Appreciation for Yoga/
Today is International Yoga Day and I wanted to share a newly found appreciation for yoga. During marathon training, I loved how yoga was a good stretch and way to keep somewhat active on a rest day. But now that I'm not training for a race, I'm noticing the mental benefits of yoga more and more.
I've been moving towards toward more slower paced yoga videos that are focused on holding positions and breathing. And I've noticed I feel much more relaxed after my yoga sessions and my mood is improved. My whole entire body feels lighter and less tense from even a short 20 minute video.
On a day to day basis, I'm not feeling as stressed or anxious, which might be in part because I'm not training as hard so my body is under as much stress. But I think it's because I'm also focusing more on mindfulness through my daily meditations and weekly yoga sessions. I'm much more aware of how my body feels under stress and also breathing practices to help calm me down during the day.
Two videos from Yoga with Adriene I've been using to enjoy these mental benefits are Self Love Yoga and Introduction to Yin Yoga. Try them out if you want to switch your yoga focus jst from to just stretching to mental awareness!

Statement of the MFA of Ukraine regarding the shooting at the OSCE SMM observers
17 januára 2016, 10:51
16 January
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine strongly condemns the shooting at the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) vehicle by Russia-backed militants on 16 January 2016 in the area of Maryinka.
We regard this case as a blatant attempt to intimidate the OSCE SMM observers and yet another evidence of the deliberate violations by Russia and its proxies of their obligations under the Minsk agreements.
We demand to stop provocations against the OSCE observers, servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and civilians, as well as to ensure the SMM security and its unhindered access to the whole territory of certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, including the uncontrolled by Ukraine sections of the Ukraine-Russia border.

Hello girls!
Today I decided to share with you some of my notes in the calendar … I will try to convey you all my thoughts and feelings in order to understand better. Essentially, I will not tell you this very personal story to get more followers and become known. What I want is to help those who are struggling with the same problem that I had.
Two years ago, aparousiasa a psychological disorder. I felt alone, I had my depression and his family could not do anything else other than to put me to a clinic, where finally I received help and felt better.
Because I felt alone? Now I understand why … You only see my pictures and you will understand it too.
Not secret that if not love yourself, no one can love you. Obviously, I had no friends, nor boy, neither social life because I hated myself. I hated my appearance.
The other students in the university chanted cow whale chontrokola … And believe me, these were the gentlest of decorative adjectives I used to hear …
After I spent two months at the clinic, I returned home. After I had an appointment with my doctor, Dr. Papaioannou, every week where we discussed my concerns and how to fight it my complexes. Easily found that my main complex was my appearance, especially my weight. Needless to say, I always told me that I should be more confident and that what I have inside me is more important than appearance. But I knew very well what I needed! I had to lose weight.
One day, after my numerous attempts to slim down by running and gymnastics, I met an old friend of mine, Anna. I confessed that sometimes go crazy for eating, because this whole period was very hard for me. Almost everyone in my town knew that I had psychological problems and all day commenting.
Why mention Anna?
Because when I saw her, I was shocked. It was lovely with long legs, thin waist and nice rear. It was the most popular girl in the group … The boys go crazy for her.
One day while we were walking, we walked into the shop. I wanted to buy some chocolates and chips … I was in shock when I saw that Anna and she bought the same (visible from the types of girls never eat such things). I wondered how he managed to maintain such a body and eating alongside all those fattening foods.
And finally, revealed to me the secret: every day gets Chocolate Slim. I had never heard again about this product … I explained that it was a very good slimming product that could eat anything during the program. Hard to believe! That's why I did not believe him at first. I thought that would evlapta my body with these drinks for weight loss, but this seemed doll and always in good mood. Also, while I was moody and angry, she was always full of energy. Oh my God! I popped out of my jealousy!
Not to think about it a second time, I asked my mother some money and I bought … After 14 days, I lost 22.5 pounds. I could not believe what I saw! Fat disappear very quickly, even when eating cookies, ice cream, chips and generally anything I found.
I gained more confidence after I lost the first 22.5 kg and of course it affected my social life. I spent more time with my friends and a boy asked me to get out …
Let me tell you more about Chocolate Slim They say that helps in weight loss, removes toxins from the body and helps reduce stress. It is a complex of natural ingredients, which increases the effectiveness of the product. To Chocolate Slim contains four basic ingredients: green coffee beans, A and beri, L-carnitine and organic cocoa. Drink the drink instead of breakfast and that's all!
I am very proud of my result. I uploaded some pictures to see that I had a real effect. I am very grateful for this product, as it helps people to deal with their complex and enjoy their lives.
Also, I must say you're very careful! I have seen many imitations on other sites … There is only one official representative.
Thanks for reading girls!
See you soon!

The Everett School Board is just one vote away from demolishing one of our most important historic buildings, the Longfellow School, to save maintenance cost and create 33 parking spaces. Ironically, Sen. Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson, the author of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, attended there as a child. It will likely be torn down shortly after the bond vote is over.
The board has rejected a couple of offers over the years that it didn't deem to be viable. However, last year when the Everett Museum of History made a solid $2 million cash offer for the school, the district showed its true colors. While the public thought they would embrace the offer, they instead made capricious and unreasonable demands, and the school board refused to meet with the museum board. The museum finally gave up and bought a different property.
By all indications, the district has only been pretending to sell the school. Two years ago their own survey found that the public overwhelmingly wanted to save it. They have argued that it's their job to educate children, not preserve buildings. If that's true, why didn't they sell the school? In addition to the $2 million, they could have saved the nearly $1 million in demolition costs. That adds up to $91,000 per parking space! They have not made a case for how this decision benefits their students. When Longfellow goes down, it won't be because nobody wanted to buy it.

Beyond Training
Beyond Training - Ben Greenfield
Here's how I think you should approach Beyond Training instead of making the mistake I did by sitting on this book for so long: go listen to a few podcasts with Ben Greenfield, either on his own podcast or as a guest on a show like Joe Rogan. He's a quirky guy and you may not like him enough to want to buy his book. I know people who think he talks too arrogantly. I found that I came to like his writing style even more than his audio persona.
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this book and disappointed that I was initially reluctant to give it a shot for a long time. I had read many negative reviews about Beyond Training that said that is was nothing more than a glorified infomercial and rife with pseudoscience and biased plugs for supplements and products. Having already been unsure about Greenfield, since I know him to be a quirky and overzealous guru of biohacking and believer in earthing, grounding, and the dangers of EMFs, I didn't want to waste my time on something if I didn't really like or agree with what he had to say.
Reading Greenfield's book totally changed my mind though and I wish I had bought the hardcover of the book instead of a digital copy from the get-go since it's a biohacking bible for athletes looking to maximize their performance. I don't deny that there is some pseudoscience in this book but Greenfield does something I think is super awesome by admitting that the evidence is lacking for certain things he says or suggest but he feels better doing them and that's why he still recommends it and does it himself. How many people have superstitions or funny rituals that calm their mind or set them at ease but don't actually do anything verifiable by science? Almost everyone right? As long as it doesn't hurt anyone, I don't see what's wrong with most of the pseudoscience claims like only using hardlines to avoid wi-fi signals in your home. And if he recommends a goofy talisman to shield you from the harms of EMF, be logical and decide whether you think it's important enough to waste money on something like that or simply discard that idea and make use of many of the other great suggestions found in this book.
Some people hate on his chapter titles and say that the chapters are like really long blog posts - like many great modern business models, Greenfield gives away 99% of his material for free through blogs, podcasts, and videos and you can probably read about a lot of this book material on his blog if you don't want a single compendium of awesomness and are willing to spend many hours more digging thruogh his free material. I thought the writing style with light and informal enough to make it feel like an enjoyable conversation with Greenfield instead of a dry and humourless book of information. And the chapter titles were descriptive of exactly what they entailed; what more could you ask for?
Many people seem to think that Greenfield turned the book into a glorified infomercial with all the gizmos, products, and services he refers to in the book. I actually think it was the best thing he could possibly have done for the book. For one thing, Greenfield doesn't beat around the bush about disclaiming his affiliations and the people griping about him plugging different products and services must not know how online businesses work. More importantly though, Ben has built his reputation around being a biohacker and self-experimenter in the fitness industry and he cares deeply about quality, especially when it comes to foods and supplements, so who better than him to make recommendations to the general public about these things? You don't have to listen to his suggestions but it certainly helps those who are uninformed about the fitness industry start off on a better path than going straight for the cheapest quality product on the shelf and not getting anything of benefit out of it.
Oh yeah, I'm not even a typical endurance athlete, which is what the training section of this book is geared towards, but I think that there is enough outstanding training advice in the training chapters to up the game of any athlete. I compete in strongman and I have already started applying the information for my betterment.

I am due to attend my 3 month appointment at St Thomas's in August. Can anyone tell me what happens at this appointment because from reading this forum I've been led to believe that they should be able to tell me whether the ablation has worked or not. Is it just a discussion or do they do any particular tests. I have had a number of episodes lately and I am keeping a record in my diary would it be wise to take this with me?

Melvita Gentle Conditioner
Jo discovered this when working her way through a large trunkful of product to judge the Natural Health Beauty Awards, recently - and fell rather in love. (It was Highly Commended, BTW.) People often think it's shampoo that's making their head itch - when in fact, it may be the conditioner, not least because it's left on the scalp for longer before rinsing. This is as gentle as the name implies, but actually very, very effective - a blend of safflower oil and shea butter, which does not weigh hair down in the least.
In fact, it leaves hair shiny, swingy - and is organically-certified by Ecocert. And for anyone who longs for naturally beautiful hair (in every way), this could well be your new BFF. (That's short for Best Follicle Friend).
UK readers find Melvita Gentle Conditioner at www.ukmelvita.com/£10.50 for 150 ml

I haven't actually completed all of the steps, but the guide showed me the Vostro 14 3468 DID have space for the optical drive. Currently, there is just a plastic placeholder there. I configured and purchased the Vostro 14 3468 from Dell directly on 11/15/18 (3 weeks ago) specifically because it HAD an OPTICAL DRIVE in it and didn't have a 10-key pad on the right side of the keyboard.
When it arrived 2 weeks later, it DID NOT have the optical drive in it. I called customer service, and for 90 minutes, being passed from one unhelpful person to another, I was told the Vostro 14 3468 NEVER came with an optical drive. Your guide shows that it most certainly did. So does Dell's own manual for the Vostro 14 3468 on their own web site! I am going to order the optical drive, and use this guide to install it. My only concern is that they somehow changed something inside, such as how the optical drive connects to the motherboard, making it so the optical drive cannot be installed.
Thank you for creating these guides.

I hired an organization whose men spent days underneath the house jacking up fallen beams to fix it. While below the house, they found the skeletal remains of a few cats. By drilling two holes in each finish of the chook house mounting board you'll be able to run a bit of rope via. In the event you squeeze the dimensions of a house down by taking house from low cost-per-square-foot rooms like bedrooms you'll discover that you have not affected the overall cost of the house a lot at all.
Fairly soon, the word will get out and you may need a couple of more houses and plants to accommodate all of the magical people. Dream Interpretation of a House on Fire: One thing in your life requires quick attention. In case your house is symmetrical, your trim might be just about any shade that you just like, even if it contrasts sharply from the rest of the house. I checked the Cottage Identify Generator, I'm wondering what my wife will say after I suggest calling our house within the mountains 'Coyote Hills'. Step one in this course of is to survey the location and stake out the corners of the house. Do not get any on your skin and don't breath any in. After spraying,you must go away the house for a number of hours.
Having reached 18 years previous my spouse and I are now not required by regulation to feed, material, or house her. I later realized that my suspicions had been correct… people died in the house and the sellers had been attempting to keep it a secret. This house in interior-Sydney is built using Hempcrete for its low embodied vitality and glorious acoustic and thermal efficiency. In many conditions nonetheless, they are going to make their way into the living quarters of the house and start to do their nasty work of touchdown on and sampling various foodstuffs. Since being right here I've found a superb job and I adore it. I purchased a big house so we could all reside in it. The agreement was they pay 1/2 the bills.
Some tiny houses are built on wheels, towed to your area, and left on the wheels so you possibly can transfer them around. In truth, you'll possible not do far more than merely raise the cost per sq. foot of all the (now smaller) house – and perhaps not change the general price in any respect.
She has become so disrespectful to her mother and myself and refuses to maintain her duties…I've typed up a tenant land lord contract as I'm tired of her boyfriend (whom I like and is a good man) doesn't leave the house until 12 am every night time and I am bored with it. There are lots of different issues akin to she has a canine that I've paid for every thing to have performed to get it pictures and stuff.

Christmas food is an odd thing. Why is it that after Christmas is over, we stop drinking mulled wine? January is dark and dank - if ever there was a time for mulled wine and twinkly lights, then January would be it. But for some reason, the holiday of Christmas has specific food-related rules; one of which is that people must consume as many mince pies as possible during the month of December (and at no other time). However, I don't like mince pies. I do, however, love miniature food and sweet treats. So I put on my thinking cap and decided to make some alternative mince pies - little pies which evoked the flavours of Christmas but without a scrap of mincemeat in sight.
These mini apple pies are not your average apple pie; the apples are soaked in winter Pimms and mixed spice so they get that festive flavour - because nothing says 'Christmas' like putting booze in everything you bake. Right?
For 12 mini apple pies, you'll need:
- 2 medium sized cooking apples
- 4 tbsp. winter Pimms
- 3 tbsp. golden caster sugar
- 1 tbsp. mixed spice
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 packet of shortcrust pastry (or you can make your own)
- A splash of milk
- A sprinkling of icing sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a muffin tin with butter.
2. Peel and chop the apples into small chunks.
3. Cover with winter Pimms, sugar, zest and mixed spice. Mix together thoroughly and set to one side.
4. Roll our your pastry until it's approximately half a centimetre thick and cut out 12 large circles. They should fit perfectly into the muffin tin without too much overhang of pastry.
5. Gather the remaining pastry into a ball and re-roll to half a centimetre thickness. Cut out 12 small circles of pastry to act as lids. I made mine small enough that they didn't seal the apples in, but that's just personal preference - I like the rustic look!
6. Place the pastry cases in the muffin tin and fill with the apple mixture. Place the lids gently on the top.
7. Using a pastry brush, brush the pastry with milk to give it a lovely colour when baked. Stab the lids with a sharp knife - especially if the lids are sealed.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool in the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
9. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

The Cocktail Element menu lets you design your own drink
"Anything sangría," the well-dressed man behind the bar at SALT the Bistro {1047 Pearl Street, Boulder; 303.444.7258} responded when we asked him for recommendations on a refreshing summer drink. But unlike most craft cocktail menus, choosing a drink from the Cocktail Element menu at SALT isn't as simple as randomly choosing the menu item with the most intriguing name. It's advertised as a "personalized cocktail invention." SALT's DIY cocktail menu employs a three-part ordering system created to encourage customized drinks and the exploration of new cocktail combinations. Here's how it works:
Step 1: Select a spirit. Choose from high-quality and often locally made vodka, gin, rum, tequila, bourbon, or Scotch liquors.
Step 2: Select a house-infused simple syrup. Using fresh ingredients, and all made in-house, the simple syrup offerings range from commonly used simple syrups like vanilla, cucumber, mint, and lemongrass, to unique infusions like strawberry-basil, blood orange-rosemary, chipotle, and ginger.
Step 3: Select a style. Options include French 75 (sparkling wine and lemon juice), gimlet, sour (Rickey), cocktail, fizz (Collins), or an Old Fashioned. Cute images of the glassware for each option will help you identify the kind of style you're looking for.
Taking a cue from the talented cocktail chemist behind the bar on our trip, we opted for a sangría-style drink made with vodka and strawberry-basil house-infused simple syrup. Not only was the color and presentation of the drink visually stunning, but you better believe it was delicious and downright thirst-quenching on a hot Colorado day.

text: New Delhi: The visit of Minister of State for External Affairs M.J. Akbar to war-torn Syria, which has been taken note of in many world capitals, will help India get information on the Islamic State (IS) and the involvement of Indians with the quasi-state terror outfit, observers here feel. Akbar met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on August 20 when the latter sought India's help in the reconstruction of his country's economy and discussions were held on upgrading security consultations between the two sides. India's role in the fight against terrorism also figured during the talks. "The IS is a major threat and India does not need it," former Indian Ambassador to Syria V.P. Haran told IANS. "Syria has a wealth of information on the IS," he said. In 2014, IS made the Syrian city of Raqqa its headquarters and the city has come under airstrikes from the Syrian government, Russia, the US, France, Britan and other Sunni Arab nations that want the ouster of the Assad government as well. Haran referred to reports of some Indians going to Syria to join the IS and pointed out that the Grand Mufti of Syria, Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun, during a visit here earlier this year, had said that people from 56 countries were lodged in Syrian jails. "In mid-2012, there was a major operation in an area in Damsacus and I have reasons to suspect that at least one Indian was involved," he said. "If we get information on the IS now, it will be more valuable than getting it a year or two later." The former ambassador described Akbar's visit as "most welcome" as it was the first major visit from India to Syria in six years after the visit of then President Pratibha Patil in 2010. Thereafter, Syria got embroiled in a civil war that has resulted in the death of over 40,000 people and displacement of over 11 million, including seven million who are internally displaced due to the protracted conflict that grips the country. Syrian Deputy Prime Minister Wahid al-Muallem visited India in January this year during which he sought India's economic and political support. According to Omair Anas, Research Fellow in the Indian Council for World Affairs (ICWA) and an expert on West Asian affairs, counter-terrorism cooperation between India and Syria will be possible only if Assad reconciles with some of his opponents. "Assad calls all his opponents terrorists and expects India also to do so, which is not possible," Anas said. He was of the view that the Assad regime would not survive for long if it continued to depend heavily on international support from countries like Iran and Russia. "Our interest in West Asia is very different from that of Iran and Russia," Anas explained. "Security in West Asia is very important for India," he said, adding that India has not taken any sides in Syria. In fact, during his meeting with Akbar, Assad appreciated India's "objective position" on the Syrian conflict. According to Anas, India should not only look at the issue from the point of view of Indian Muslims going to Syria to join the IS, but from the perspective of other countries of South Asia like Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan as well. "Only then will we get to know of jihadi operations in South Asia," he said. "India has to keep a watch on the entire South Asian region." Apart from the IS being in full control of power in Raqqa, Anas said there were two other centres of power in Syria -- pro-Assad and and anti-Assad. "And the anti-Assad group is badly divided with one group being an Al Qaeda offshoot and the other being the Free Syrian Army (FSA) which consists of Sunni soldiers who had defected from the Syrian army," he stated. Anas also pointed out that there was virtually no Syrian army now but for a few Hezbollah forces and some Iranian army officers in an advisory role "but who are doing more than that". He said that while the Assad regime has control over the security apparatus in Damascus and some areas, the other Sunni areas were all under the control of anti-Assad forces. The Alawites, of whom Assad is one and who constitute about 12 percent of Syria's 22 million original population, hold all top government positions and control major businesses. As for India's role in the reconstruction of the Syrian economy, Ambassador Haran was of the view that it was a little premature for that as the situation was still not stable. "A certain level of stability is required for reconstruction work to start," he said.

There are probably some folks who think it would be interesting to read someone else's email. I can tell you from experience that it is not. Perhaps my perspective is a bit different; you see, I don't really want to read the email I'm talking about. I don't really have a choice.
So imagine there's some guy who doesn't know his email address. He thinks he knows it. The problem is that the address he thinks is his is actually your address. So, whenever this schmuck has to fill out a form online, register for some inane newsletter, or tell his mom where he can be reached, he tells them your address.
Honest mistake, right?
So, this happened to me. For a while, I tried to be good-natured about things. Each time I got an email for this guy, I kindly responded to the sender explaining that they'd reached the email equivalent of a wrong number and that they ought to check with whoever they're trying to reach to verify the address. This garnered a few kind responses, but did little to stay the steady stream of misdirected email.
Part of the problem, I began to realize, is that there were multiple people making the same mistake. Unless of course there's one person who has very many nicknames, I can't think of another explanation for that fact that the emails are variously addressed to "James," "Jamie," "Jeffrey," "Christy," and "Linda," just to name a few.
Trying to contact the confused person / people has proven quite difficult. The emails I receive rarely include any identifying information that would help me to track down the person to let them know. It's not as if I can simply email them . . .
So, I figured I'd share some of the more amusing bits with you, MonkeyBlog reader. I thought we could all get a laugh out of it. Furthermore, I'm sort of hoping that one or more of the people who keep making this mistake will stumble across this blog, see me making fun of them, and be shamed into action.
Some items I've received:
- I once received something called a "Bunko" list from a nice woman named Diane. She thought I was Christy and decided to send me the names, phone numbers, email, and home addresses of all of their friends on the "Bunko" list. I was quite frustrated to see my email address under Christy's name. Diane kindly told me she would update the list.
- Six months later, "Bunko" member Stephanie emailed me again about tennis.
- In response to Stephanie's mail, Sarah let me know her email address had changed.
- I've received several issues of something called an AICPA newsletter. I've tried (unsuccessfully) to remove myself from the list.
- One time a guy's mother kept emailing me. When I tried to tell her she was sending to the wrong address, she got all paranoid and started accusing me of intercepting her son's email.
- Peter and Jan once sent me the Redfish Lake Lodge Newsletter. It's in Idaho.
- A guy named Robert sent me pictures of their Thanksgiving in 2003. Turkey looked nice, Bob.
- Some guy named James submitted his résumé to Marriott in December. They're keeping his résumé on file for a year.
- A guy named Charles forwarded me his Amazon order status. When I told him he sent it to me in error, he responded "it concerns your xmas gift….BRO." I guess he thinks I'm his brother. I asked him to stop emailing me.
- A guy named Lee once emailed me (and several others) about an upcoming banquet that he seemed to think I was selling tickets for. Here's a quote:
On March 1st, I will begin voiding outstanding tickets and reselling them. Yes, this will cause confusion the night of the banquet but somehow I think I will find satisfaction turning your guests away telling them the Fucker didn't turn in the money or the tickets.
Notice the capitalization of "fucker." That's a nice touch, I think. I responded to all recipients with the following:
I'm the owner of the email address 'XXX' but I don't think I'm the person you're trying to reach. Perhaps you should double check with the person you're trying to contact to verify the address.Good luck with your banquet, though. And to all you 'fuckers' who haven't paid up, quit being such deadbeats and give Lee his money!
I hope it all went well.
- Someone with the username "PKGab" emailed me about tennis in February. I can't help but think this is still a "Bunko" problem. Oddly enough, this email included another request for payment, this time for club fees or something. It's troubling to think that deadbeats are using my email address.
- Bruce let me know his address was changing. Thanks, Bruce.
- Jeffrey's transcript of his HP support chat session wasn't very interesting. He had a problem printing to his psc2210. He needed a patch. He also needs to practice his spelling, grammar, and capitalization.
- Jamie applied to Sumner EMS, Tennessee. Good Luck, Jamie! I hope you provided a phone number.
- Someone filled out a form for Norton Internet Security 2004 Trialware. I can download it using the link they sent me.
- This is classic:
This is an e-mail message sent automatically by Microsoft Office Outlook's Account Manager while testing the settings for your POP3 account.
Yes, Outlook is working. Your brain is not.
- Lynn sent me an Evite to a Line Dance Party! Woo hoo!
- Just received this one. Subject: "30 cal barrel." Message: "Old Fart here – can you give the particulars and price – thanks." I think this one speaks for itself.
More to come . . .

Good Morning! I am getting so excited for Christmas!
This little project is actually an oldie but a goodie. I created it last year for Doodlebug, but never got around to sharing it here at SCS. Given that it is a perfect last minute craft, I thought it would be a good one to feature. If you've spent any time here at SCS, you will know that I love Chocolate bar sliders. They are an easy craft that takes card giving to the next level. And these ones, featuring Milk and Cookies and Cream and Sugar is a great way to show that you don't have to own a whole collection of papers to make something great – mix and match and have fun!
So, if you've got some time (or the need to pull off some last minute treat), these will certainly do the trick! And if you need a tutorial, simply modify this owl one that I created a number of years ago and you will be all set! Thanks for stopping by!

The Board of Directors for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Luzerne County announced attorney John Aciukewicz has been hired as its executive director. Aciukewicz is a graduate of Gettysburg College and the Dickinson School of Law. He has been a practicing attorney in Luzerne County since 1984.
Aciukewicz resides in Trucksville with his wife, Beth. They are the parents of three sons: Josh, 29; Zach, 26, and Aaron, 22.
In 2015, 483 children in Luzerne County were removed from their homes as a result of abuse and/or neglect. The CASA concept is based upon the commitment that every child has the right to a safe, permanent home. Volunteers are screened and trained to become Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). They are then appointed by a judge to advocate for the best interest of abused and neglected children in court. A CASA is empowered through the court's order to access all records needed to gain insight into the child's situation. The volunteer is an officer of the court and speaks exclusively for the child.
The CASA volunteer handles one case at a time, gathering facts, evaluating and gaining insight to make a conclusion on what is in the child's best interest, providing the judge with an independent report and recommendation.
"We feel fortunate to have Mr. Aciukewicz leading CASA of Luzerne County," said Christine M. Jensen, chairwoman of the board of directors, in a prepared statement. "Aciukewicz brings a wealth of leadership and experience. He helped to establish CASA in Luzerne County when he identified a need for advocates for children in the dependency system. He has worked tirelessly as a volunteer to make CASA a reality in Luzerne County and we welcome him to this new role as leader of the organization."

I have been told that for not being a direct caregiver, I seem to have a pretty good idea of what it's actually like. I think there's two reasons for this: number one, I like people and I'm sensitive to the underlining emotions that are happening amidst the obvious; and number two, I've known my fair share of police officers.
What? you say. How does knowing cops correlate to understanding hospital caregivers? I'll tell you: it didn't take me long working within the walls of a hospital to begin to see the similarities between caregivers and cops. The stresses and strains of their professions and the way they wear on them physically and emotionally are very similar.
Some of the obvious similarities include their crazy, gawd awful schedules. Both professions work extremely long hours and are often times torn between sleep, family, and work. They work holidays away from their families. It's not uncommon for a cop or a nurse or a doctor to work three or four 12-hour graveyard shifts, only to have to power through a training from 10am-2pm the next day just because, well, that's when the training was scheduled.
Both professions are no strangers to the wear of long hours on their feet, heavy eyelids aching for sleep, and the amount of juggling it takes to coordinate life with an opposite schedule than that of your family.
Both care deeply for others and impact the lives they touch in profound and lasting ways. They see people in their most vulnerable state, and they have power in those moments to personally make a difference in people's lives in their toughest times, everyday. In the midst of this, they are tied to an insane amount of regulations, laws, and protocols and they must document everything. Their every move could be used in a court case, and they have to be willing to defend their actions.
They put themselves in harms way: a gunfight, or an exposure to bodily fluid through an accidental needle stick– both could mean grave consequences. They are faced with these possibilities everyday.
They are expected to care and assist anyone who needs their help, not just those who are easy to help, or who smell good, or who are kind. They help everyone. The innocent, the guilty–everyone. Cops, once they have made a hostile situation safe, are expected to drop to their knees and give first aid to those who, for example, were just trying to kill them or the innocent around them. Nurses and doctors give aid to save the innocent, as well as the perpetrators. Both of their jobs are not to judge, but to serve.
Cops and caregivers are put in situations most people would never dream of. They suffer from survivor guilt. They carry heavy burdens of others' tragedies home with them. They feel the pain and hurt of senseless acts of violence. They experience the kind of violence most of us only see on TV, only for them it's real and it cannot be turned off or changed to a different channel. They live the nightmares through until they are over. And then they come back the next day and do it again.
Jamie Coleman, a trauma surgeon, writes about the impact her patients have on her in her blog post A Surgeon's Survivor's Guilt:
I have said before how we all take you, our patients and communities, home with us at night, but please also know that our lives are never the same either. Every patient encounter alters us – sometimes subtly, and sometimes drastically. We are changed, and we never forget.
So if you see someone who works in healthcare today or a police officer, smile. Give them a high five. Tell them how much you appreciate what they do. They are keeping our communities afloat. When we are lost and cannot care for or protect ourselves, they do it for us.
"Thank you" just doesn't seem to be enough.
