They are starting to show up again, cracks in our walls. From the corners of door facings and windows, they move along the walls in jagged lines. My son's little finger traces over the crack that moves from one corner of his window toward his bed. The windows themselves have begun to separate from their sills. You can feel the cool morning breeze from across the room, with the window closed. Door heights have had to be adjusted so they will lock closed. These are visible signs of an unseen problem – the foundation. This house was built upon shifting ground. Though the owners had the foundation anchored, the problems persist.
Often times I see the cracks in my own life. Anger. Jealousy. Fear. Control. These cracks are evidences of the major flaw in my foundation – sin. On my own I grasp for straws wanting something solid and sure. I've tried to build on my own personal abilities, talents and desires – like the time I wanted to sell Mary Kay products. Boy, that was an expensive venture that went no where fast. I wasn't in it for any reason other than what I could get out of it. Money. And less expensive make up. Truth is, I told myself it was for my family. That if I could just make enough income to work from home then I'd be happy. Isn't that what we want? To have what we want, when and how we want it. Happiness, information, fulfillment, fill-in-your-own-blank, on our own terms. Yet, there's that crack, leaving another gapping hole.
As many times as I've tried to make things right own my own, those darn cracks still show up. Just like in my house, I can patch and paint over the flawed walls, yet after time they reemerge, some not quite as wide and some in new spots. The same is true in our spiritual life. It is not a matter of just fixing the cracks in the walls, we must address the problem within our foundation. Jesus is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 7 speaking to this very subject.
"Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on a solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn't obey is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash."
Matthew 7:24-27 NLT
Notice in Jesus' words the conditions that both houses faced. Torrents of rain come, floodwaters rise and wind beats against both houses. I'm not sure if you've ever found yourselves in the middle of a hurricane, but my husband and I rode out Hurricane Katrina in a second floor apartment south of I-10 in Baldwin County, Alabama in 2005. In the days and months following we saw the destruction left behind by that powerful storm. Foundations wiped clean. Lives lost. Possessions destroyed. The storm did not pick and choose which homes and families to devastate. It destroyed all that was within its path. There was not one life in it's path that was left untouched – whether physically or emotionally.
Afterward, as we spoke with families that had been affected, we saw despair in the eyes of some and hope in the hearts of others. Why such a difference?
"Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline."
Proverbs 1:7 NLT
There were many who had experienced loss of homes and possessions, even of family members, that their hope was in the Lord and in His faithful Word. While they were shaken to the very core, their foundation no longer lay within their own strength and ability but in the Lord.
Those cracks are just symptoms. Treat the symptoms and the problem still persists. The problem is in our foundation. Build upon the Rock, who is our God, and we will find true knowledge for He alone grants wisdom. We cannot depend on our own abilities and strength. His Word tells us in Proverbs 3:5-6 that we should seek Him in ALL we do. Not in half of what we do, or only when we think we need Him. We are to seek Him. Daily. Moment by moment. Worshipping Him alone. Then, we will see that what He is building is much stronger, much sturdier than anything we could build on our own.
And just in case we need a reminder, like the foundation of my house had to be anchored so that it wouldn't continue to cause major destruction to the structure that was built upon it, we have an anchor also.
"So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary."
Hebrews 6:18-19 NLT

Undersea Volcanic Eruptions Continue Near Canary Islands
Two volcanic eruptions were confirmed on Wednesday near the Canary Islands, forcing at least 500 people to spend the night outside of their homes after precautionary evacuations were ordered by local authorities. These eruptions follow similar earth movement on Monday of the same week.
"I confirm the existence of two points of volcanic eruption at El Hierro," Laura Otero, a spokeswoman for the local authorities, told AFP. The first eruption occurred at a depth of 2,300 feet and the other at a depth of 655 feet.Juan Manuel Santana, head of emergency services in the Canaries, explained the locations of the two undersea eruptions, "The two points are located at two nautical miles and 1.5 miles southwest of (the village of) La Restinga".
He also explained that the eruptions, "Resulted in two stains on the sea surface where there are dead fish and a strong odor of sulphur."
Wired Science blog writer Erik Klemetti explained that these are the first eruptions in the Canaries in 40 years and the first at El Hierro in possibly 2,500 years.
"Now, I read a lot about what we might have expected from El Hierro, and I don´t remember coming across anyone saying that they expected a submarine eruption, but with these oceanic hotspots, it is definitely not a surprise," Klemetti wrote.
Authorities pointed to "uncertainty over the coming days", in a statement and that they were keeping La Restinga on "red alert", while the rest of the island remained one alert lower in danger, yellow alert.
"It is recommended to exercise caution," said Paulino Rivero, head of the Canaries administration. But he said people would be able to return to their homes under the protection of civil safety officials to retrieve medicines or clothes.
Perched atop an ancient volcano, the island of Hierro has undergone some 10,000 tremors since July 19, the vast majority of them not felt by its 11,000 residents. The last volcanic eruption on the Canary Islands was on nearby La Palma in 1971.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Florida A&M's Jacquay Nunnally had 16 catches to break Jerry Rice's Division I-AA career reception record Saturday night, helping the Rattlers to a 50-49 victory over Southern University.
Nunnally, a senior, has 306 career receptions. Rice, the San Francisco 49ers' record-setting receiver, had 301 at Mississippi Valley State from 1981-84.
While Nunnally's hands kept Florida A&M in the game, Juana Vasquez's foot proved to be the difference.
Vasquez kicked a 29-yard field goal with 21 seconds left for the winning points.
Southern took a 49-47 lead on an 18-yard field goal by Justin Mattingly with 2:44 to go.
Florida A&M received the ensuing kickoff at its 27 and used an illegal participation call against Southern and two key third-down passes from Quinn Gray to Nunnally to set up Vasquez's game-winner.
The Rattlers had 670 yards of total offense. Gray was 29-of-55 for 376 yards and three touchdowns. Nunnally had 155 yards receiving. O.J. Marchbanks and Gary led the Rattlers' 294-yard rushing attack with 150 and 113 yards, respectively.
Southern piled up 684 yards of offense, its third straight game with at least 500 yards. Terrence Levy was 21-of-33 for a career-high 460 yards and five touchdowns. Michael Hayes had 11 catches for 217 yards and two scores.
UCF 20, LA. TECH 16: Ryan Schneider passed for two touchdowns and Edward Mack ran for the winning score for the visiting Golden Knights.
Schneider completed 18 of 37 passes for 254 yards for UCF. Louisiana Tech freshman Luke McCown was 34-of-52 for 363 yards and one touchdown but was intercepted twice.
Tech moved ahead 16-13 on McCown's 55-yard touchdown to Frank Thompson and Corey Addision's 2-yard scoring run.
But UCF drove 90 yards in 14 plays late in the fourth quarter, with Mack running 6 yards for the winner with 4:47 remaining.
B-CC 34, HAMPTON 31: Allen Suber ran for 139 yards and scored three touchdowns for the visiting Wildcats.
Suber, a former Tampa Catholic star, scored his first two touchdowns early on runs of 21 and 11 yards as Bethune-Cookman took a 17-0 lead in the first quarter. He also passed for 124 yards, going 10-for-17 with no interceptions.
Johnny Vickers scored the Wildcats' last touchdown on a 32-yard run early in the fourth quarter.
Pirates quarterback Ataveus Cash ran for 107 yards and two touchdowns and completed 9 of 23 passes for 150 yards. Montrell Coley ran for 118 yards and two touchdowns.
Hampton never led.
DRAKE 42, JACKSONVILLE 0: Ira Vandever threw two touchdowns and ran for another for the host Bulldogs.
Drake took a 6-0 first-quarter lead on Vandever's 27-yard pass to Bill Martin and extended that to 19-0 at halftime after Phil Joseph's 44-yard run with 6:18 left in the half.
The Bulldogs held Jacksonville to one first down in the first quarter.
Vandever connected with Aaron Overton on a 15-yard touchdown and scored on a 3-yard keeper.

Looking for gift ideas for your kids that will also bring the family together?
Here are a few of our family favorites that are all great for mixed aged groups. Great for kids to play – or the whole family including Grandparents.
QWIRKLE– This is a new one that was given to us recently. It's simple enough to learn to play in less than 5 minutes, yet there is enough strategy involved to keep it interesting. Kind of like Scrabble mixed with Dominoes using colors and shapes so no reading necessary (great for getting the little ones involved). It is geared for ages 6 and up.
APPLES TO APPLES– This comes in a regular version (red box) and a Junior version (green box). A game of comparisons where people's personalities really show through. The regular edition has words that are a little more conceptually difficult or even a little dated. We prefer the Junior version as the game is essentially the same and we have played for hours all together with younger kids, teens, parents and grandparents. A great way to have fun for the whole family. One thing – all players must be able to solidly read, so the real little ones may have to sit on the sidelines or pair up with an adult.
CRANIUM CADOO– I don't think this company makes a bad game. Cadoo is like Charades, Pictionary, and trivia combined. It's fast moving so kids don't get bored and it keeps them busy with their hands, bodies, and minds. A bonus that the kids love are the special glasses you need to use to see the secret words.
UNO– An oldie but a goodie! You can play with as little as 2 players and it's small, easy to learn, and fast moving. There are even themed versions (Dora, etc) for little ones to teach them how to play until they are ready for the original version.
RACKO – Another oldie but fun as well. This game is a combination of skill and luck as you try to put your 10 cards in numerical order from lowest to highest.
Hope this short list helps you with your holiday shopping. The Schumans wish you a safe holiday season filled with love and good cheer.

Cops: Man pulled knife in dispute over pizza
Updated 8:53 pm, Monday, June 18, 2012
GLENS FALLS -- A drunk Gansevoort man pulled a knife on another man Sunday morning after an argument over pizza, police said.
The incident happened at 1:30 a.m. outside Irish Pizza on South Street, police said. There, Douglas Saville asked a female customer for a slice of pizza. A man then got between them, and an argument ensued, police said.
Saville, who was heavily intoxicated, then allegedly pulled a small folding knife and threatened the other man, police said.
When police arrived and arrested Saville, officers found several pills of Xanax and Percocet on Saville as well, police said.
Saville was charged with felony criminal possession of a weapon as well as misdemeanor charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance and menacing. He was arraigned in Glens Falls City Court and sent to Warren County jail.

A beer named after sheep, at least in a homonymical sense.
There's a tuning fork on the can which is all that I'm guessing will differentiate this "special lager" from any other Asian lager. As with most of the less trustworthy beers, no point of origin is specified on the can. Thong Imex, the purported brewer, could be from anywhere; in fact the can mentions that they only supervise the brewing of this beer. No nation or specific company is responsible for what is to come.
Thong Imex Import Export says: "Made from 100% Premium malt Imported from Germany and Australia, YOU Beer has the wonderful flavor which is ready for you to celebrate with your friends anytime, anywhere. Manufactured using the most modern lines in the ASEAN. Imported and Installed by Krones and Huppman, the world famous brewing company."
I say: Like most pan-ASEAN lagers, this one is straw-colored and has a perfunctory soapy head but unlike other beers from the ASEAN, this one has some chemical bitterness with a metallic, copper-y aftertaste. Hopefully that metal hasn't come from the world famous brewing company, Krones and Huppman, or their modern but poorly maintained lines. The aroma is dominated by boiled cabbage and the taste of cardboard. I imagine this is what the Ukraine smells like in its most productive year.
Location: 330ml can. Found at Lucky Supermarket, Phnom Penh. Further distribution unknown.

I just picked up an orange ILE. I bought it in Long Beach and drove her home to San Jose. I've got to say, Chevrolet scored a bulls eye with this machine! I just can't believe how well it handles! It's priority in life is to hit the road courses, but will be driven on the street a couple days a week as well. The styling with the matte black hood and black wheels is bad ass, and I can't believe you can get this much performance for such a reasonable price.
It's track debut will be with Hooked on Driving at Thunderhill, July 20-21. I'm fairly new to tracking, I have 4 track days under my belt, and took the Ron Fellows ZR1 School at Spring Mountain. Absolute blast, highly recommended! I'm going back for Level 2 in October.
This is my second Camaro. I had a '95 Z28 with a supercharged Lingenfelter 383. Over the years I've also owned a '70 Cuda 383 Magnum, a Mustang and an SRT8 Challenger.
Greetings Todd,
Welcome to Camaro5 and congratulations on your orange 1LE! Thanks so much for the positive remarks about the Camaro. We are happy to know that it brings great satisfaction to you and hope everything remains that way moving forward. Enjoy your vehicle and feel free to contact us anytime with questions.
All the best,

Main MenuCommodork: Sordid Tales from a BBS Junkie is a collection of my stories and memoirs that took place during the classic computer Bulletin Board era. It's what we computer nerds used to do before the World Wide Web existed.
Commodork is broken up into two major sections: the Commodore BBS era and the IBM PC BBS era. In between those two sections is a short break, and of course there's an introduction and a conclusion. Despite the book's relatively technical topic, there isn't a lot of technical jargon contained within. Commodork is more about the people and the experiences than the actual hardware. It's about the adventures that took place during those great years and not necessarily about the computers they took place on.
I had two target audiences in mind while writing this book. The first was my fellow BBS enthusiasts. Those who loved calling BBSes and miss those great times will be able to relate to many of the stories told within this book. The other target audience I had in mind were the kids of today who are familiar with the Internet, yet were born too late to experience the BBS world first hand. I have already heard from several readers who have told me although they were took young to have called bulletin boards, the book "made them feel like they were there" and truly conveyed how exciting those times were.
To find out more about the book, be sure to check out the first chapter which is online in PDF format for free. Just click on the "Chapter One" link to your left, and get to reading!

It was way too damn short. I completed the game in 37 missions, and i stalled the hell out of the first capture objective to ensure my guys would stay alive. Konstantine "Constant" Morozov, who got his nickname from being as reliable as a physical constant (law of Konstantine; when somebody gets shot, he's there. For friendlies, to patch you up. For hostiles, he's the one who just shot you.)once dragged the entirety of his stabilized, unconcious team back from a mission gone wrong after taking down the last 3 mutons by himself. But that's besides the point.
37 combat missions, some of which lasted mere five minutes? I intercepted a whopping 5-6 UFO's over the course of the entire game, attacked 4 more landed ones, and took one base. Nevermind the fact that I stalled like hell and was slow as a snail compared to the averages, what would you have done in the original xcom in the ~6 in-game months it took to beat this game on slow mode? UFO wrecks and landing sites everywhere! Secondary squad going to capture teh supply ship while alpha squad responds to laine terror. Chasing infiltration UFO above USA while the crash site of that scout we just shot down will have to wait. A regular day at original xcom.
The whole game feels like it's a short and mediocrely written pipe run with non-essential missions as more of a padding. It's a shame because there's a good game in there, but the pacing has been utterly fucked up.

Well I feel stupid. This is probably a common sense thing that everyone else figured out without making the mistake I did, but I'll warn you guys anyway just in case.
DO NOT fire on an alien adjacent to a power node on the bomb missions.
I did.

My favorite 'bug' was when I encountered 2 mutons and a berserker in the woods. Being out of range (they pulled back), I shot with my sniper, wounding the berserker and overwatched my team.
Alien turn. A friggin Cyber disc and a drone literally spawned between my entire squad. Everyone reaction shot THE DRONE. 5 people firing at one 3 hp target. The Cyber disc nades 2 of my troops, the 2 mutons run back, and each throw a grenade at said group, killing 1, critically injuring the other. Thankfully the berserker never came back.

I don't have archangel armor yet (well, I can produce it, but I don't have 40 engineers), so I am not sure how much I'll love flight, but so far grappling hook rules.
I am running 3 people in carapace armor (2 heavies and 1 support) - the ground squad, and 3 people in skeleton armor (1 assault, 1 support, 1 sniper) who stick exclusively to rooftops, like spidermen. They try their best to avoid using move actions that don't involve grappling to something and rappelling over to it.
Any sort of urban combat is fun-tastic, because I get to ambush aliens who think they're safe inside buildings from top floors. Outside of urban settings, the opportunities are more limited, but even so, I just shot down a supply ship 20 minutes ago, and my sniper rappelled in position on top of the shot-down UFO, only to get ambushed by 3 crysalids next turn. They surrounded him with nowhere to go, and I could see the saliva dripping from their teeth as they were getting ready to rip him to shreds, only to get severely disappointed as he grappled across to a different panel on the UFO and one of the heavies from the ground put all 3 crysalids down with a single, well-placed, rocket.
So, out of curiosity, what exactly are you complaining about? I can't stop playing the friggin' game lol. I even called in sick today just so I could stay home and play. This game is absolutely amazing, and I'm seriously hoping they do a sequel or something...TFTD is my favorite X-COM game of all time (I love underwater stuff). I really hope that this game generates enough fans/money that they decide to continue on with it, and not just leave it as a one-time thing. Hell, I'd even fork over money for DLC to this game, anything from new armor graphics to more research.

I like the big squads from before. I think you could have 12-14 guys in the initial drop ship which was nice. I do miss the extended inventory options. I remember having guys who were TERRIBLE shots so I just loaded him up with grenades but you can't do that here. I liked being able to pick up stuff off my fallen comrades like ammo (non issue), grenades, medipacks, etc. When missions pop up you can guess if it was going to be a night or day mission or if the mission was right on the cusp of day you could advance the time manually an hour and then come in so you had the mission in the day. I miss being able to use electroflares at night to illuminate areas you cannot see.
The changes I do like is the cover mechanic which was basically non existent before. The movement-fire system while simplified I find fairly intuitive (I however miss the variable movement rates for each member though). The interface with the council and countries of the world is overall better. I like not having to worry about ammo and weapons and gear can be created instantly. The ant-farm management is markedly superior to the old design.
I am sure there are other pros and cons I can think of. While I don't consider this game better than the old one it is a good game in its own right and certainly the best X-Com clone to come out thus far. I wouldn't mind if they did a sequel and touch up on some of the things to make some of the things like the original while keeping some of the good changes they have made.
On another subject, did you guys in the US get a hotfix patch? I had already finished pre-loading the game yesterday and tonight Steam started downloading something again. Hopefully it's bugfixes

"This is not a dress. This is a sacred robe of the ancient psychedelic monks."
Ok, I'm just gonna put this out there. Until they fix the fucking UI lockups (this most recent patch did not) I DO NOT recommend playing an Ironman Mode game. If you get a UI lockup during a mission, you have absolutely no way to fix it. The only way to actually unlock the UI, if you don't have one of the HARD lockups, is to reload a game. Well, that's not possible in Ironman Mode, as I just found out >.> I can't even make it through the first mission, because at SOME point during the mission I get a UI lockup and have to quit the game in order to even play anymore. I'm started three Impossible Ironman Mode games so far, each time getting a UI lockup in the first mission, and having to start over. Guess I'm going to have to forgo the Ironman Mode + achievement for now.
And commenting on the patch, I haven't really noticed any changes to any of the bugs/glitches I know about. If anything, I think it's gotten WORSE. I'm having serious issues trying to place the mouse cursor somewhere and get a soldier to move where I want. The cursor either randomly moves to a higher or lower elevation, back behind a wall or something, or flat doesn't appear at all. I never had this problem pre-patch, though that's not saying it didn't exist. SHIVs are still buggy (see the official forums - there are sooo many complaints about SHIVs that I don't even bother to use them). They seemed to have taken all of the smaller, less important bugs and patched those, while all the ones that are causing their customers to pull their hair out are still blindingly obvious.
All that aside, I have to say the ending to this game is BEAST. I won't spoil anything, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think the vid should've been longer...I have no idea what it should've had more of, but it just felt kind of short.
Also, anyone else think Dr. Vehlen is hot? :-P
Also: Remember when you found the first 'alien entertainment device' and the engineer guy was like 'At least they aren't playing... Video Games!' I was cracking up.


text: ...is pretty big really. Not having played after the free month due to the issues I wasn't really following it, but the information out there now after Sigil's collapse and SOE taking over full ownership is suggesting good things. I'm still somewhat concerned about them keeping the old managment team for now, but that may just be a case of not chaning too much in one go and loosing a grip on reality. It seems likely however that Vanguard SOH will develop in leaps and bounds now.

He's been cussing and swearing this time for about twenty minutes. I wonder to myself if he is some kind of masochistic fly fishing fanatic. He turns in a huff, stomps back to a rock, and sits down as I land another fish. He's using words now that sailors save for bad days at sea. This scenario repeats itself three times in an hour and each time he yells louder, tosses stuff on the ground and I've heard him from across the river say," why me, why does this crap happen to me" many times. He doesn't look like anybody I want to hang around with, so I just mind my own business. After the fifth time, When you watch someone doing it wrong, because way back when, when I didn't know any better, well, I thought I'd offer some advice. At first he appeared miffed or like how dare you, like he knew what he was doing, and then after he looked around, I could tell he was less embarrassed as no one else was watching, so he said "sure, how do I fix this". I waded across the river, took his rod and leaned it against one rather odd shaped cedar tree. Then I shadow cast over the water, retrieved my line and said "now you try that with my fly rod". This time, he was genuinely surprised. He exhaled and smiled in the same moment. He grinned and said that's quite a difference. So I stripped off everything he had woven, tied, knotted, or threaded on the end of his fly line and tied him clean to the new spawn fly I had hand tied that very morning on the end of his crisp new set up. Then I took my rod back. I said "now give it a go with yours". Before he was foaming the water, now, instead of whipping a froth on the surface, he was fly casting, spooking less salmon, and a half hour later he actually caught one. He then waves to me and wades the river in my direction, shook my hand and said thanks. Told me he wished someone would have shown him that a long time ago. I said any fly fishing store could have put it together for you, Set you up correctly, he said he would have been too embarrassed to ask. He thought he would just figure it out on his own and the harder he tried, the worse it got and the madder he became. I said there just fish, it's supposed to be fun. We talked for a while he seemed like a nice enough kinda guy when he wasn't mad, so I asked if he wanted to fish one day next week. The trout whisperer

I love lots of things; sports, friends, my dog Rebound, my daughter and grand babies. I love to Coach. I have very few female friends because of mistrust. I cannot stand someone who will befriend you and then turn right around and dog you out. I don't like fake people and I don't like people who think they are better than others. I am funny, witty, and love to hang with friends and have a cold beer! I haven't looked for a long term relationship in a very long time and don't know if I really want one. If I was to ever get serious with someone it will be because they truely love my company, my dog, and everything about me as I would them. It would have to just magically happpen because I'm not looking,and,I want to really know I can TRUST this person 100%. I want it to be for a lifetime of laughter, hapiness and memories.

It's time to look ahead.
Some of you have told us that you don't know how a person could vote for Donald Trump. You're not sure who could support Hillary Clinton.
And because of it, we're having problems talking to each other. We need to have a civil conversation.
Step away from the social media. Let's just talk.
Next put out the offer to set up these meetings and moderate them. More than a hundred people told us they want to meet and hear out someone else's opinion.
In our first installment, we met Sherri and Mike.
Sherri Rael lives in Arvada. She voted for Hillary Clinton.
Mike Kyffin lives in Del Norte, Colorado, and he voted for Donald Trump.
They disagree on politics but they agreed to talk. And we found that they ended up agreeing on more than they thought. A portion of their interview is posted above. The full interview is below.
If you'd be open to having an honest conversation, fill out our form and let us know.


text:
The Labor Department released its latest employment numbers this morning, and the only good news is that the situation hasn't gotten any worse. Official unemployment (BLS-U3) still sits at 9.5%, and real unemployment (BLS-U6) — which includes both the underemployed and those who have stopped looking — is stuck at 16.5%. Here at home in Contra Costa County, it's even worse with the "official" rate up slightly for June at 11.1%, but still better than California overall, which remains over 12%.
Sadly, as job growth remains stagnant, more and more people forget how we came to the disaster that we now face. Memory of the policies that gutted federal tax revenues, sent millions of American jobs overseas, and culminated in an economic crash that extracted a third of the wealth of the middle class and gave it to Wall Street fat cats, has become obscured. The awareness that drove the American populace to reject conservative politics just 20 months ago has somehow been crowded out by impatience and clouded out by Republican propaganda.
We are living today in an America designed and produced by Republican policy. Concentration of wealth is at its highest level since the Great Depression. The GDP continues to grow but unemployment is steady and wages are dropping. We're told that we have a "jobless recovery," which for all but the most wealthy means NO RECOVERY AT ALL. The very term is oxymoronic and should cause fits of cognitive dissonance. When the metrics used to gauge the economy show improvement but the quality of life for most Americans continues to decline, it should be clear to everyone that we're focused on the wrong target.
But even in the pits of massive unemployment, distraction and subterfuge prevail. The Republicans continue their fight for the upper 2%, even to the extreme of deliberately sabotaging progress for the middle and working classes — and still people remain oblivious. They've bought the lie and embrace those who seek to exploit them while rejecting the very vehicle established to ensure their prosperity.
It's Operation MindCrime, and it started 30 years ago, when Reagan sold the notion that government is the problem. Belief in that myth still lingers today, providing the fertile ground for the misinformation machine known as the Republican Party. They know that the true power does still reside with The People, but they also understand that the power is only realized in unity, and that The People can be divided through the unethical use of lies and distortions intended to play on fears and prejudices.
It doesn't take an economist to understand what's happened over the past 30 years, what conservative politics has wrought. It doesn't even take an intelligent person; it simply requires a pause to look at the actual evidence.
The record is clear: the deficit originated with Reaganomics under the pretense of "trickle-down" which was later even refuted by the elder Bush and termed "voodoo economics." But still, in spite of its detrimental effect on the well being of most Americans, the Republican Party has maintained loyalty to the self-serving fallacy. This allegiance has done nothing to help anyone but the upper 2%. It has resulted in concentrating more wealth in the upper 1% than the bottom 90%, the slowest rate of average job growth of any cycle since 1945, the first decline in median household income of any cycle since 1967, and the 2008 crash and present "jobless recovery."
This is class warfare, plain and simple. It's between the top 2% and everyone else. Sadly, far too many conservative middle class Americans have mistakenly taken the wrong side. They've bought the lies and fight toward their own demise. The solution is not in raging against these people but in understanding their concerns and sharing the facts with them. The line has been drawn in the sand, and although this truth is too often swept up in the maelstrom of conservative misinformation, it needs to be communicated.
The Democrats certainly have their share of issues, but they alone promote policies that will benefit 98% of Americans. Voters will have another chance in November to put an end to corporate exploitation of our nation. They already know what Republican policy will produce — we're living in it! They need to open their eyes and give the Democrats a real chance to turn things around.
When speaking earlier this week at the AFL-CIO, President Obama summarized the decision to be made. He first reminded people that it took a decade to drive us into the ditch, and that it will likely take that long to dig us out. He then offered an analogy, "When you're in a car and you want to go forward, you put it in D. You want to go back in the ditch, you put it on R." Which direction do you want to go?

I Clair Marie am a hair addict. It has been one of my many addictions over the years. I LOVE rocking the short edgy hair cuts for many reasons. Number 1 is because of the simplicity. Travel, camping, helmets on and off all day long for BASE jumping and teaching skydiving all those things are such a pain with long hair. At the end of a skydiving day it is not uncommon for girls to spend the proceeding hr to hr and a half trying their hardest to get all the high speed tangles out of their hair! So short hair has been my thing… Until now! In a sudden change of heart I have decided to grow my hair out, through all the awkward stages of semi long but cant do anything with it I have succeeded and now have hair almost below the tops of my shoulders!! So what does a girl do with long hair for the first time in almost 11 years??
I put it up into a classy style 😛 First time as an adult I have had the ability to style my semi long (super long for me) hair!! Oh embracing the change and sharing it with the world. Bet you can't sense my excitement. I now am announcing that I will be joining the other women at the end of a jumping day to try to untangle it now!!

It's too much pressure! And as a result, I basically never > do it. Perhaps your experience may confirm my observation: Except for orphaning as part of MIA procedure I can't recall situation when a particular package was orphaned by non-maintainer. It looks like such cases are extremely rare so as result prospective contributors are often reluctant to invest much time into improvement of de- facto unmaintained but not orphaned package. > One of the huge advantages of somewhat more formal systems is that > they remove the feeling of personal responsibility and provide some sort > of system that can deal with issues, which can make the whole thing feel > much more comfortable for everyone involved. Absolutely. Even a bit of guidelines will do very well. For example at the moment it is not obvious that adoption can begin with ITA bug to the package but this little hint can save time and improve visibility of adoption comparing to private email to maintainer if it remains unanswered.

Let me show you this great social media plan infographic that BoomTown sent out from Exact Contact. This real estate agent social media plan shows us how to get a grip on our social media with a simple 30 minute plan each day. Play the real estate coach video or simply read the post. Your choice!
Real Estate Agent Social Media Plan
The idea is to schedule this at different times of the day so that it is very easy to do. Take out your phones and put in a recurring appointment Monday through Friday.
Twitter can be done any time of the day that is convenient for you because you want to go in an schedule all of your tweets.
The next thing you want to do is schedule at least 6 minutes for Facebook. Outsourcing people to do your social media will sometimes put their core values on your marketing message so be very careful if you are outsourcing this that you have the same type of core values that they do.
On Facebook, people like to go on Facebook in the afternoon anywhere between 2 to 4 pm. They get bored and want to go on Facebook. It is really important to create a real estate agent social media plan for Facebook so that you can manage your time.
Real Estate Agent Social Media Planning
So put in 10 minutes for Facebook in your calendar and now for LinkedIn you'll want to do the same thing. Now LinkedIn people are on usually in the morning before work or after work when they get off around 5 pm or 6 pm. So put 10 minutes in your calendar or 6 minutes scheduled in your phone to remind you to go on to LinkedIn.
Every time you get those text alerts you will know during the day, let me do my social media real quick. Pinterest take a moment to pin and post any type of visual content that you can find, like pictures and then engage with your recent re-pin friends. Get social with the people that re-pin your content. Return the favor and comment or thank them.
Now Google+ is great for sharing content right from your blog. Your blog posts are really great to share on social media. Find groups to share your content. They are already interested in your topic and will share your content.
Instagram is very easy. Any type of quotes. Take your fans behind the scenes and show them your office, your staff. Take pictures of events.
Re-purpose some of the things you already have. Take 30 minutes a day. Be sure to share youtube videos with links like we did in this video.
Real Estate Agent Social Media Plan
The most important social media planning tip I can give you is to send "ALL SOCIAL MEDIA" offers of value to "YOUR WEBSITE". If you do not have a website that easily lets you post items of value for your customers, I recommend you get a WordPress website. This will build organic traffic.

I just want to train 1 or 2 people. Can you help?
You are best suited for a public workshop. While we offer few public sessions, we'll be happy to recommend a few alternatives for you. Give Mark Smith a call at 800-386-5611 to discuss your situation and he'll be able to make some recommendations.
Do you offer public workshops?
Most of the training we conduct are in-house workshops for our clients. We offer public workshops on a limited basis and may be able to identify a solution for you. If you are looking for an opportunity to evaluate one of our programs, we have several options for you to consider. Give us a call at 800-386-5611 to discuss your specific situation and we'll help you identify a solution the works for you and your organization.
How can we evaluate your programs before bringing you in to train our people?
There are several options that we can offer to you for evaluating our training. These options range from providing you a DVD of a portion of one of our workshops to providing you access to see a workshop being conducted at one of our clients. Give us a call at 800-386-5611 to let us know that you would like to observe our training for evaluation purposes and we'll figure out a solution that works for you.
How many people can you train with your keynote speeches?
We've had groups of 20 to 220 attend our keynote speeches. You can see some of our prepared topics here or we can develop something specific for your audience. Give us a call at 800-386-5611 to discuss your unique situation.
Do you have any internet delivered solutions or webinars?
Yes, we now offer a instructor-led (synchronous delivery) online program call Problem Solving Live (PSL). PSL includes four 2-hour sessions that can taken as a series or offered as stand-alone modules. Call us at 800-386-5611 for details on this new offering.
Can you help us resolve a specific problem or decision?
Yes, companies that have a specific problem to solve or decision to make are good candidates for our Process Consultation Services. Give us a call at 800-386-5611 for a free, no-obligation consultation. We'll explore your specific situation and recommend next steps – frequently this one free phone call is all it takes to get you on your way to the successful resolution of your issue.
Do you offer train-the-trainer or trainer certification?
Yes, we offer train-the-trainer options for all of our programs and, if you are planning to train 100+ people in a year, this is most cost effective solution for most organizations. We take great care in the development of instructors. This content area is very Instructor dependent as maximum on-job utilization occurs when participants are coached to success with "live job applications" during the actual workshops. Our thorough certification process of MODEL – PRACTICE – FEEDBACK – COACH ensures that your instructors are well prepared to deliver the program.
What is the cost of your workshops?
Because of the return on investment from the training we offer, the cost of the workshop is FREE for most organizations. However, because you need to account for the "hard-costs" of training, the following guidelines apply. The fees for our workshops vary based upon the number of people you wish to train and the duration of the program (number of days) and whether you want to certify one of your instructors or use our experienced facilitators. Assuming you want to train 15-20 people in an in-house workshop facilitated by one of our instructors, the fee will typically range from $235 to $300 per participant per day for a multi-day program and $320 to $385 per participant per day for a one-day program (plus out-of-pocket expenses for travel, if any). Volume discounts are available. For an exact quote, give us a call at 800-386-5611 to discuss your specific needs and we'll explore the best option for you and your organization.
Is there a minimum or maximum number of participants for your classes?
Our programs are designed for groups of 15-20 participants and work exceptionally well with group sizes ranging from 6 to 28 participants. Larger groups can be accommodated with the addition of more small group facilitators.
Do you offer any half-day or shorter duration training?
Yes, our programs are frequently offered in a modular format. Whether you need only one module to address a specific performance/knowledge gap or you wish to offer a series of shorter duration training we can help.
Will you customize to our specific needs?
Yes, we can customize in a variety of ways. First, participants in our workshops will have the opportunity to work on real life issues that they bring to class with them. This means that not only will we customize to your organization but we'll customize it to the specific group of people that come to the session for a very powerful learning experience. In addition, whether you want to make alterations to the cover, title and other changes to "brand" it for your organization or develop custom cases and job aids, we can help. Let us know your specific requirements and we'll work with you to develop an ideal solution for your organization.
Can I review your participant materials?
Yes, we would be pleased to make our participant materials available for your review. We believe they are the best post-course reinforcement workbooks in the world. They contain detailed examples, numerous job aids, green fast-track pages, and are very user-friendly. Give us a call at 800-386-5611 to discuss your situation and we can explain what you should expect to see when you receive the materials.
How does your training compare to Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing or our other quality initiatives?
Our programs Integrate with, complement and enhance training efforts in Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing and other quality initiatives. We have partnered with many organizations that offer these and other quality initiates and have consistently provided a unique but complimentary set of skills. In some organizations we have even replaced many of their existing quality initiatives because the robust set of process tools we introduce are un-matched by the tools introduced in other training. Call us at 800-386-5611 to discuss your specific situation and we can share how we have helped other organizations like yours.
How do you know that a training return on investment (ROI) has occurred for your clients?
Past participants have shared stories of their success with us and those success stories have totaled hundreds of millions of dollars – this is the savings they estimated (not us). In fact, the total savings they've told us about is 17 times more than total revenue our company has earned. We know that the training pays for itself…many times over.

FAA Proposes Revisions to Order 8110.42, Parts Manufacturer Approval Procedures
In a
Notice of availability and request for public comment
published in the Federal Register on August 25, 2004, the FAA is seeking comments on its proposed revision to Order 8110.42, Parts Manufacturer Approval Procedures. A copy of the proposed order is available from the FAA online
. Order 8110.42 provides "procedures for the evaluation and approval of replacement and modification parts for use on type-certificated products".
According to the FAA, "the draft order clarifies policy, language and simplifies format". It is not intended to change policy. However, the draft order includes "examples, expands on the test and computation method and provides more guidance on reverse engineering". It also contains new appendices relating to roles of Designated Engineering Representatives in the design approval process, appendices that list the varied uses of "critical" in the context of aircraft parts, and appendices that provide guidance on statistical sampling in a quality system.
Comments to the proposed order may be sent via U.S. Mail to: Federal Aviation Administration, Aircraft Certification Service, Aircraft Engineering Division, Room 815, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591. ATTN: John Milewski, AIR-110; personally delivered to: Federal Aviation Administration, Room 815, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC, 20591; or sent electronically with the title of the document: "Comments FAA Order 8110.42, Parts Manufacturer Approval Procedures".

FAA Proposes Modifications To Airport Improvement Program Grant Assurances
On Tuesday the FAA published a
Notice of modification of Airport Improvement Program grant assurances
in the Federal Register for public comment. The AIP grants are provided to airport sponsors for airport planning, airport development, noise compatibility planning or noise mitigation. "Upon acceptance of the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant by an airport sponsor, the assurances become a contractual obligation between the airport sponsor and the Federal government."
According to the Notice, "Modifications to the AIP grant assurances are primarily being made to remove grant assurances that govern the application and implementation of an AIP project that expires with the completion of the project and place them as grant agreement conditions or as certifications as part of the application process." New proposed assurances are also explained and discussed in the Notice.
The Notice includes a table that compares the existing assurances (available online
) with the proposed modified assurances, as well as a description of the modified and new assurances. An interesting new addition is the requirement that an airport operator who agrees to allow an aircraft owner to construct a hangar "will" grant the aircraft owner a "long-term lease for the hangar that is subject to such terms and conditions on the hangar as the airport owner or operator may impose." Other new assurances relate to competitive access for air carriers and non-discrimination against disadvantaged business enterprises.
Comments to the proposed modifications may be delivered or mailed to the FAA, Airports Financial Assistance Division, APP-500, Attn: Mr. Kendall Ball, Room 619, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591 no later than September 23, 2004. If you have questions or would like further information you can contact Mr. Kendall Ball, Airport Improvement Program Branch, APP 520, Airports Financial Assistance Division, Room 619, FAA, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591, Telephone (202) 267-7436.

Cabotage And International Operations By Corporate Aircraft
A corporate client recently asked me about whether Canada had any regulations restricting his ability to fly to Canada in his corporate aircraft, pick up a passenger and then fly on to another city in Canada. The question raises the issue of "cabotage", which is the flying of passengers and goods within the same foreign country. For an answer to his question and a more detailed explanation of the rules and regulations relating to cabotage and international operations by corporate aircraft please read my latest article

IRS Publishes Air Transportation Excise Tax Regulations
On August 10, 2004, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) published
Temporary and Final excise tax regulations
and a related
Notice of proposed rulemaking
in the Federal Register. The regulations detail the requirements of persons who receive payments for air transportation subject to excise tax when the person liable for the tax refuses to pay it. They apply to people who receive payments that are subject to the excise tax and the people who are responsible for those taxes.
The temporary regulations require that a collector (such as a Part 135 charter operator) report to the IRS a taxpayer's refusal to pay the excise tax. The report is due by the due date of the return on which the tax would have been reported but for the taxpayer's failure to pay. The regulations become effective October 1, 2004.

Ice Detection System Advisory Circular Issued
On Tuesday, August 18, 2004, the FAA published
Notice of issuance of advisory circular
for "AC 23.1419-2C, Certification of Part 23 Airplanes for Flight in Icing Conditions" in the Federal Register. This AC "applies to the approval of airplane ice protection systems for operating in the icing environment defined by Part 25, Appendix C". It provides acceptable means for complying with the ice protection requirements of FAR Part 23. Applicant's for type certificates, supplemental type certificates or amendments to existing type certificates will want to reference this AC when seeking approval under FAR 23.1419.
The AC does not provide the only means of compliance and, as with all AC's, is not mandatory and is not a regulation. A copy of the AC is available

Instrument Practical Test Standards Revised
In April, 2004, the FAA updated and revised the
Practical Test Standards
("PTS") for the Instrument Rating. The new standards become effective October 1, 2004. Of interest to CFII's is a substantial change in the requirements for administering and Instrument Proficiency Check ("IPC").
Currently, a CFII has discretion regarding what PTS tasks he or she can require for a pilot to demonstrate instrument proficiency. This discretion allows a CFII to be flexible in order to accommodate/address a pilot's strengths/weaknesses, as well as the pilot's aircraft, instrumentation and intended missions. That is, the CFII is allowed to decide what tasks the pilot needs to accomplish in order to show the CFII that the pilot can competently operate in the instrument environment.
The revised PTS will now require completion of specific tasks including holds, unusual attitudes, intercepting nav-aids and dme-arcs, precision, non-precision and circling approaches, partial- panel and review of instruments and aircraft equipment. One of the concerns with the revised PTS is the removal of the CFII's discretion. This seems to convert what used to be a learning experience tailored to a pilot and his or her needs into what is more closely akin to an actual check-ride.
Another concern is the requirement that an IPC candidate now perform a circling approach. Unfortunately, this eliminates the opportunity for an IPC candidate to fully complete an IPC using a computer-based trainer such as an Advanced AD. Although an Advanced AD will still qualify for completion of a majority of the IPC requirements, if it does not have a wide, wrap-around display, a circling approach will be impossible and this portion of the IPC will need to either be demonstrated in an aircraft or in a simulator that is equipped for such an approach.

FAA To Continue To Pay For Airlines' War Risk Insurance
In a
Notice of Extension of Aviation Insurance
published in the Federal Register today, the FAA states that it will continue to pay for war risk insurance for U.S. Flag air carriers through December 31 of this year. The FAA was originally reviewing/renewing the war risk insurance on a 60 day basis, but
Presidential Order 2004-13
issued on December 11, 2003 delegated authority to it to grant extensions through August 31, 2004 and now, through the end of this year.
For more information on the FAA's insurance program, including links to the the enabling statutes etc., you can check out the FAA's insurance program website
or you can contact Helen Kish, Program Analyst, APO-3, or Eric Nelson, Program Analyst, APO-3, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591, telephone 202-267-9943 or 202-267-3090.

Interesting Safety Information
I just received the Spring 2004 R & D Review from the FAA. This is a quarterly newsletter from the FAA's Air Traffic Organization and Development Office. Although the newsletter primarily covers research and development efforts into safety related products and programs, this latest issue contained some statistics that I thought were very interesting. Did you know?:
Over 195 people have been killed worldwide as a result of bird strikes since 1988.
U.S. civil aircraft operators reported over 5,900 bird strikes in 2003.
Over 600 civil aircraft collisions with deer were reported in the U.S. from 1990 to 2003.
An estimated 80% of bird strikes to U.S. civil aircraft go unreported.
A 12 pound Canada goose struck by a 150-mph aircraft at lift-off generates the force of a 1,000 pound weight dropped from a height of 10 feet.
Here in Minnesota, with large goose and deer populations, these statistics really hit home. Especially when you consider that the 5,900 bird strikes in 2003 were only 20% of the actual bird strikes. Add to that the upcoming fall migratory season, and you have a safety situation that pilots should recognize and take actions to avoid or minimize.
What can you do? Before taking off, wait for that flock of gulls to clear from the area off the departure end of the runway. Change course to steer clear of airborne, migrating geese. Be vigilant when landing or departing during early morning or evening twilight to avoid deer that may want to share the runway or taxiway with you. These minimal precautions can help you avoid becoming a bird or animal strike statistic.

DOT Revises SIFL Rates
If an employee flies on an employer-provided aircraft for non-business purposes, the value of that transportation is potentially taxable to the employee. This is also true for the employee's family members or a non-employee guest. The Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL) rate is used to meet the Internal Revenue Service Rules Section 1.61-21(g) requirement that the value of the transportation is calculated and then taxed as a benefit to the employee or non-employee guest.
The SIFL rate is calculated based upon distance and rate per mile and is performed on a per-flight, per-person basis. A flight equals "the distance in statute miles from where the individual boards the aircraft to where the individual deplanes." The revised rates for July 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004 are: 0-500 miles=$0.1926/mi.; 501-1,500 miles=$0.1469/mi.; over 1,500 miles =$0.1412/mi.; and a Terminal Charge of $35.21.

Carrying Firearms On Aircraft
A client recently asked me what rules and regulations deal with carrying firearms on aircraft. As usual, my lawyerly answer was "it depends". What does it depend upon? Well, for starters, what type of firearm? Will it be carried concealed or on the person (e.g. using a concealed carry weapon "CCW" permit), or will it be in checked luggage? What type of aircraft? Is it a commercial flight or a private flight? Is the flight interstate or intrastate?
The answers to these questions dictate whether or how you can transport firearms on an aircraft. For more information on this subject and a discussion of the applicable rules and regulations, please click

Arizona Odyssey of the Mind
Welcome to the Arizona Odyssey of the Mind Web Site. This is the resource for everything Odyssey of the Mind related in Arizona!

Latest News
January 27, 2018 – State Tournament Information
This year's State Tournament will be held on Saturday, April 14, 2018 at Canyon del Oro High School in Tucson. Further information regarding the state tournament will be provided as we approach the date.
February 22, 2017 – Structure Team Internet Research and Other Outside Assistance Precautions:
The Internet is a great tool for learning basic concepts of engineering and building. To some degree, the Internet levels the playing field for those teams who might not have access to experts in the field. Additionally, Internet resources, such as YouTube, do not explain how to solve the current problem; they just provide information that otherwise might be passed down from team to team in a particular program but not be readily available to teams in programs without that history. One of the goals of Odyssey is to foster research skills and online sources are included in that purpose. Teams should research the basic information just as they might learn to use a sewing machine by watching tutorials about how to sew and then apply those skills to develop their solution to the current year's problems.
Teams are cautioned not to post pictures or video of their solutions to the current problems as this could create an outside assistance issue.
New this year: At tournaments, the only people who will be able to take pictures or video a performance will be team identified supporters. The competition site will be set-up in approximately the configuration shown in the attached diagram. (note – the configuration may be flipped or rotated due to the particular room used at each tournament.)
Teams should anticipate and plan for weighing in their structures as early in the tournament morning as possible. Weigh in may take up to 45 minutes per team and for the large tournament we anticipate that this may cause some delays in the process.
August 6, 2016 – For information regarding registration for the 2016-2017 school year, please click on the Registration tab above.
