Sawyer's Art
Art Drive Benefiting Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
If you have not read our story about our first son, Sawyer, you can read it here. The brief version is that in May of 2013 our son Sawyer was born with a congenital heart defect. He lived 18 days and went through multiple heart surgeries but unfortunately he did not survive. We miss him every day and are always looking for ways to keep his memory alive. Back in 2014 I came up with the idea to celebrate his birthday in a super special way each year – thus, Sawyer's Art Drive was created!
What is Sawyer's Art Drive?
Sawyer's Art Drive was created to honor our son's, Sawyer, memory and give back to the hospital that fought so hard to help his heart. Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is where he spent each and every day of his life and I could not be more thankful for all of the doctors and nurses. Specifically the Child Life Specialist (CLS) really made an impression on me. I spent my very first Mother's Day in the hospital with my son who was fighting for his life. The CLS made sure to make it very special. These CLS help the families of those in the hospital and the patients themselves to feel at home. A lot of what they do uses art supplies to create different projects and help families/patients relax and have fun. Each and every May we love to stock their closet (so to speak) so they can continue to help families affected by a variety of illnesses. Sawyer was born May 9 and passed away May 27. We collect supplies from May 1 through May 26 and I drive them down to the hospital on May 27 to donate in his memory.
How can I help?
Making a donation is EASY! I have created an Amazon wishlist which sends the art supplies right to my front door. If you are local to me and would rather purchase at the store and meet me to drop them off I can work that out as well. Each year our haul has grown and I would love to have to take two vehicles this year because of all of the stuff we are donating. Find our Amazon List HERE!
When is the last day to donate?
We are taking all donations to CHOA on May 27 (Sawyer's Angelversary). Donations will need to be RECEIVED by May 26 at the latest. I am willing to meet up with anyone who would like to participate OR if you donate straight from the Amazon list it will be sent to our house!
Here are some of my favorite pictures with our sweet Sawyer.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spread the word and help us make this the BIGGEST GIVE BACK to date 🙂

Paywalls and your social strategy
April 15, 2011 Leave a comment
Mashable discusses how paywalls impact on social strategies for online news media with editors from Dallas News, The Economist and Honolulu Civil Beat.
The main concern across the board is the accessibility of stories behind the paywall affects how much an editor (or social media editor) can share. With straightforward "subscribe or see nothing" paywalls the editor at least knows that sharing is off the table, but when you have metered or "snapshot" strategies, it becomes more difficult to tell if a user will successfully be able to view all the stories that they're clicking through to.
The flipside to that is that any unsuccessful experiences to read shared links will quickly become known to the site's editors, especially in the social media world.
It definitely changes the way one can go about creating awareness and conversations about the topic or brand. However, somewhat surprisingly, none of these editors seem to be anywhere near the "crying about how paywall will kill social sharing" whinge that many may have thought they would.
They've all found different ways to cope and manage the impact of paywalls on their social strategies without placing social in the "less important" bucket, so to speak.
At the end of the day, it's all about adapting. Paywalls for mainstream media is in its infancy yet and as these strategies and business models develop, so will understanding, experience and specialised skillsets that will enable media sites to maintain reach and relevance even in a paid-content environment.
A huge part of the media business has always been about distribution of its core product (content) to as many eyeballs as possible, within its business and social environment (ie geographic coverage), and it's always managed to achieve this somehow.

Haitham's Bahrain Blogger Meet-Up had me remember my experiences with meeting "online" friends. Actually, they were only two experiences.
Six to seven years ago, I got deeply drawn into mIRC for a few months. I talked to a lot of people, but most of them weren't even worth a nickel (shall I say negleh?:) )
My first experience(which was about 6 years ago) was terrible. I really do believe that you can easily read a person from the way he or she dresses, and the guy literally showed up in what looked like PJ's to me. Scratch out- I'm not into people who don't know how to dress (call me shallow if you will, but dressing is a form of art.) There were also several other scratch-out factors of course, like his inability to talk and the whole "sweetie" thing (The "sweetie" thing SERIOUSLY gets on my nerves. I never understood when it became okay for a guy to call a girl he barely knows "sweetie". Find yourself a girlfriend!)
The experience resulted in the uninstallation of mIRC and lost contact with practically everyone.
Then came MSN Messenger, which was reserved for real-life friends. Only one mIRC buddy managed to find his way onto my contact list, and he lived in the States so I didn't consider it a problem. I also was at a stage where I was so involved with SAT's, fundraisers, and worrying about colleges to actually spend time online.
My calculations didn't work out though(BTW, I suck at math), and as the years passed, I found myself spending at least 3 hours every day just talking to him, and attraction developed.
So when he came to Jordan, I of course had to meet him. It was scary. When you know someone for years through his writings and words, you create the person of your dreams around those writings. I was really afraid that my expectations were set too high. Luckily, they weren't, and the experience was magical. It also made us closer, and we met several times after that. It's been a long time since he last came to Jordan though and I really can't wait till he comes again.
So there you go, my two experiences. One bad, one good. And I'm not a freak :P I'm sure a lot of people have had such an experience, did any of you?

Yay for summer! And the beginning of the summer travel season.
This is just a quick post about the first of two trips my family is taking this summer. We're spending this week in Ashland, Oregon. I went to college in Ashland many years ago and have been returning regularly since. For the past few years, Margie's job has brought her close to Ashland many times. This trip marks the third June in a row that the kids and I have joined her during one of her work trips. Fortunately for us, some very good friends of ours own a second home in Ashland and graciously let us stay here during our trips.
This week we're enjoying spending time with Grammie (my mom, who joined us again this year), long walks in Lithia Park, playgrounds and spray parks, story time at the local library, concerts in the park, great shopping (seriously…good shoe stores, a fantastic fabric store, and an uber-helpful yarn store) and local, seasonal food which is just a little bit different from Sacramento's current crops.
During our first trip here, two years ago, Adelaide was only 6 weeks old. She was completely portable, allowing me and Bennett to ramble all over Ashland while she dozed. Last year she had just turned one and had just begun to walk. This year she's in full-blown toddlerhood and very frustrated to be in the stroller while her brother walks. All this is to say that instead of reminiscing about college while here, I find myself reminiscing about the last couple of years and how much changes during the first years of life.
All of this reflection is good and so appropriate with the change of the season. Summer has always been one of my favorite seasons. An entire blog could be dedicated to the travels my family and I took while I was growing up. While I love to remember and reflect on these adventures, I'm very excited about having new summer experiences with Margie and my kids.
Sadly, still no photos. The camera is still in the shop.

1985 (appx 10')
7 trumpets (piccolo, natural, Eb, Bb, bass trumpets, flugelhorn), perc., piano, organ.
Commissioned and by John Wallace and the Wallace Collection,
Won IX Internazionale Premio Ancona
2014 (appx 10′)
7 trumpets (piccolo, natural, Eb, Bb, bass trumpets, flugelhorn), perc., piano, 2 cellos, 3 double basses. New version made for RNCM 'After the Silence… Music in the Shadow of War'.
Programme Note:
Revelation 9:1-11: "Then the Fifth Trumpet angel sounded and I saw a star having fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit."
"Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree; but only those men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads. And they were not authorized to kill them, but to torment them for five months: and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. In those days men will seek death, and will not find it; and they will desire to die, and death will flee from them."
"The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. And they had breastplates, like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running into battle."
"They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek his name is Apollo."
"One woe is past. Behold, two more woes are coming hereafter".
When John Wallace formed the Wallace Collection, he brought together the finest trumpet players in the United Kingdom. Legendary names of the past such as John Wilbraham and David Mason joined forces with the finest up-and-coming players such as Mark Bennett and Bob Farley. Their first concert was to be in the Queen Elizabeth Hall and John Wallace, then my trumpet teacher at the Royal College of Music, asked me to compose a piece for this remarkable ensemble. I wanted to create a work that would leave a message and provoke thought as well as being a demonstration of virtuosity.
The biblical story of the seven trumpets of the apocalypse from The Book of Revelation lended itself to this instrumentation as well as my intention. Here was the profoundest allegory that responds to the results of man's inhumanity to man and his environment spawning suffering and torment in the most dramatic ways. The parallels with the horrors of war need no elaboration.
'The Fifth Trumpet' describes an initial vision of Heaven from which the Fifth Angel blows his trumpet. A star falls from heaven creating an earthly abyss from which smoke pours and the locusts with scorpion stings inflict months of agony on mankind who seek the solace of death. But death evades them. The programmatic intent of the story should be apparent in the clearly defined sections of the piece. A range of trumpets are used: piccolo trumpets, natural trumpets in old pitch keys, Eb, Bb and bass trumpets. Together with these are percussion, piano and either organ (as in the 1985 original score) or 2 'cellos and 3 basses (as in this 2014 revision). The trumpet writing pushes the instruments to extreme limits, not least the 5th trumpet part, which has specific solo passages and which was written for John Wallace. In the first performance, the 4th trumpet part was played by wonderful John Miller, now Head of Brass at the RNCM, the conservatoire that requested this new version be made. In the 2014 revision, several changes have been made: the organ part has been reworked for lower strings and there has been some rationalising of barring and some minor simplification of the actual instrumental parts.

In the community with Tulip Events Management
I would like to thank everyone for their help and support at the Christmas School Choir Competition and Christmas Lights Switch On in Spalding.
The school children and teachers worked hard. It was good to see you at St. Mary's and St. Nicolas Church. We all enjoyed the entertainment. Thank you to John and Mary Bennett and the ladies for the kind hospitality we received.
First place went to St. John the Baptist Primary School.
Special thanks to Mark Jepp, Majestic Bingo, Paul Watkins-Grove, EMG, Graham Boor, Hughes, Terry Moore Bakkavor, Matthew Clark, Alleycatz, Coun Harry Drury, Gail Dean, Morrisons, Trevor Hyde, Darren Maddison, Polka Dot and Chairman of the district council, Coun Rodney Grocock. Without them this event would not happen, their donations and prizes for the schools are appreciated. Also thanks to Coun Anthony and Linda Casson, Coun Michael and Pauline Seymour, RNA, Terry Carter and Yvonne and Keith Crawford MBE, for assisting me on the day.
The children entertained us and kept the judges busy. They are all winners in the judges' eyes who found the job difficult. They wanted you to know they had a great morning but a difficult job to choose the winner.
On Saturday we had the Christmas Lights Switch On, a massive THANK YOU to Ashley, Robin, John and especially Bob, for so much help and support with the stage.
Thanks to all the entertainers, talent contestants, Diamondz Dance, Niall Dignall, Aladdin cast and Andy Molsom for sponsoring the Talent Competition. It certainly made the day. It was lovely to see John Hayes arrive with Santa on his sleigh and the amazing Triumph Bikers, all dressed up with bikes decorated with fairy lights and The Marching Ambassadors marching them in.
We must say thank you to SHDC, Neil, Mike and John and the team for their support and help, and to Mark Furneaux and his team on standby as first aiders.
We cannot forget Nigel Wallis and Reinhard from Baytree for donating this year's Christmas tree. Everyone appreciates your kind donation for the town.
Thanks to you, the community for coming and supporting these two events, entertaining and making them a success.

Teenage Victim of Las Vegas Shooting: President Trump Was 'Comforting', 'Not Who We See on Social Media' (VIDEO)
A teenage victim of the recent Las Vegas massacre spoke to reporters following President Trump's visit and recounted her experience, stating that he was "amazing".
The 43 second clip shows a young woman with bandaging on her hand and sitting in a hospital bed surrounded by press. When asked what her conversation was like with the President and whether or not he offered her words of comfort, she commented:
"Yeah, he was like, super nice. He wasn't who we see on social media. He was much more comforting."
She went on to cite his tone of voice and his demeanor as comforting and how being with him in person was something of a relief to her in some capacity. Throughout the video, which you can watch below, she seems physically moved during her recollection of the President's visit:

As always, the media tries to paint the President as heartless and cruel, when in reality, when people open their hearts and their eyes, they see that he is a loving man, a grandpa, a father, and a caring, kind leader.

Blogging 101: Mission, Method, Madness (Part One)
This blog is a group blog so there are a few differences and things to address which are in addition to a solo blog, but overall these are the basics: Mission, Method, Madness.
Before you begin anything you'll need to decide why you want or need a blog. This is your Mission.
It's not good enough, in my opinion, to simply say, "Everybody has one," "Everyone needs one," or "Gee, they look like fun!" Especially if this is a business or professional blog ~ and by 'professional' I'm not talking blog tone here, but your purpose. If you're just blogging to update your friends like a teen-diary, this is not my concern (though these tips won't hurt you); but if you're trying to increase your company or product visibility, brand yourself as an author model or other professional, you need to think clearly about what you're doing. Why do you want a blog? What is its purpose? (Hint: Lots of traffic and/or becoming a Blog God isn't a reason to blog; it's a by-product of having a good blog.)
Defining what you want or need to do with your blog includes deciding who you'll need to reach. Is it your suppliers? Potential buyers? Current customers and fans? Employees? Others in your field? Even if you ask yourself 'who' and think 'all of them,' you should know who your target audience is. Who do you need to read your blog in order to accomplish your Mission? Who you are speaking to/with?
Having a Mission focuses efforts; you need a target in order to judge success, and that includes a target market. You may, in fact, reach more than your target audience, but that's gravy.
In the case of Blushing Ladies, I wanted a blog which would speak to women who might not seek erotica ~ but would enjoy it if they only knew of it. (Many women fear erotic literature to be 'porn' or worse yet, just like those free 'dirty stories' which sound so much like invitations to cyber :shudder: and so they don't do searched for such things.) I wanted to reach those women ~ and those who had perhaps once sought erotica, but had bad experiences and so no longer believe in the good stuff.
Knowing that the best erotica authors are those who know issues of intimacy, relationships and romance ~ they have to in order to create compelling characters and stories ~ I thought it would be a great idea for these authors to share those insights. (Hey, we get lots of mail regarding these matters, so why not put that knowledge to good use?) Writing from this perspective of romance and relationships is a good (and I think creative) way to reach women readers.
The Mission is to reach customers; readers themselves, not other erotica authors, editors or publishers. This is an important distinction. The content isn't about the issues, politics and concerns of authors, publishers and editors; nor is it about using the lingo of those professionals. Any posts or writings outside the area of our Mission are wasted efforts.
Do not ~ I repeat, Do Not ~ start a blog (or any project really) without knowing your Mission.
Or your limitations.
Since blogs are best when updated frequently and with original content (not just links to the content of others or quick notes about why you've not been posting), knowing that I'm already approaching my own personal limits of being able to maintain such demands I (wisely) knew I'd need help. Forming a group blog makes sense from the time element alone, but I also (fortunately) know some great ladies who not only can write but have the same mission of reaching female readers who may not venture into more risque sites and publications. Ours is a well-matched group in terms of mission and personality (not all of us are 'the same,' so there are 'flavors' ~ but we compliment one another well).
Note: When you begin a blog (or any new project) it is easy to get so carried away with your own enthusiasm or the newness of the project that you'll underestimate the amount of work that you will have to do. It's not just the writing/creating of content. If you're lucky enough to have many or very active readers, you'll be busy with emails and all sort of other things which do take time. And of course there is marketing the blog too. So I urge you to consider the new work load in terms of your time ~ and then consider it again. Maybe even a third time.
In fact, I had hopes of having 5-7 group members (and we may get there one day), but several of the wise women I discussed this with, while very interested in the mission and opportunity, were aware that they just couldn't make the commitment. (I respect each of them all the more for being this self-aware and honest about their current limitations.)
Starting a group blog also involves the planning of other details. There are matters of main admin access, blog contact methods, site design, and other issues of 'making the blog.' Just who will do what?
But most important are the often overlooked matters of blog content. How often do members agree to write? What qualifies as content? Is it a word limit? Specific topics? Types of content (images, audio, text?) A combination of all this? Who owns the content? If each member owns what they write, can they re-publish it elsewhere? If so, when? What about linking? (Both member sites/blogs and their friends' projects too.) Are you going to use affiliate programs, sell ad space, etc. ~ and if so, how do you split those funds?
If you don't settle these matters up front, you're still going to have to face these matters at some point ~ and likely in the form of disputes as your members bicker about who's working more, who's being treated unfairly, etc.
It takes more thought up-front to set up a group blog; but you'll save time during the life of the blog as responsibilities are shared. (And most of this planning is done while you are still excited, so use that enthusiasm to work through all the details.)
If your potential blogging partners do not agree on what you deem necessary (in this case a commitment to posting at least once a week and to speak to female readers, not other authors or to reach possible publishers etc.), then don't partner with them. Yes, when you expose your idea to others you may risk 'giving away your idea,' but if you know you can't do it alone (or do it well alone), then you've lost nothing. And if you ask good people with decent ethics, they won't 'steal' anything anyway. (And if they do, crush 'em with your hugely successful blog!)
Once you've found your blogging partners and you've all agreed upon your mission, or you know you can commit to your Mission in full at a blog, you're ready to more onto the next steps: Method and Madness.

Better Courier with Perfect Deals Now
Many of us are confronted at one point with the problem of choosing a fast courier company, as these services have become indispensable to the modern world.
Things are all the more difficult if we are talking about a start-up that works in the ecommerce area, where courier services are particularly important both for a store's success as well as for customer satisfaction. The idea of investing in a fleet may seem an optimal solution for many traders, but this requires a major investment that can often overcome our possibilities.
The difficulty of choosing a suitable courier company is mainly due to the fact that at the moment we have many courier companies that can provide us with the services we need. There are courier services and new companies but they do their job very well. They left the same day and in all counties, we invested heavily in the fleet and customer service. We are focused only on customer satisfaction and service quality. This is a courier company that promises to have an important say in courier services in our country. As expected, in order to be able to take part the best results in terms of Courier Company, we will have to take into account some very important … Travel More

AbstractDuchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive, lethal X-linked neuromuscular disorder that has an estimated worldwide incidence of ~1:5000 male live births, with the mean age of diagnosis at 5 years of age. The development of bloodspot creatine kinase (CK) enzyme assays in the 1970's gave the potential for newborn boys to be screened for DMD. Despite the fact that no curative treatment for DMD existed, several screening programmes were piloted/implemented worldwide during the last 40 years, with the aim to reduce diagnostic delay and enable informed reproductive choice.
The Wales newborn screening programme for DMD was implemented in 1990 and was operational for 21 years. A total of 343,170 boys were screened using a bloodspot CK enzyme assay. Screening reduced the diagnostic delay, enabled reproductive choice for parents of affected boys and allowed early intervention with steroids and physiotherapy. This screening programme was the second longest running programme in the world, but was the most comprehensive with respect to follow-up/outcome data. It was necessary to terminate the Wales programme following the withdrawal of the external quality assurance scheme and because of a lack of sustainability of the reagents used in the test.
There is renewed interest in implementing newborn screening for DMD as advances in molecular therapeutics have led to the development of drugs that can decelerate the deterioration in muscle function.
The presentation will discuss the results of this screening program, the issues of using blood spot CK enzyme activity as a first line screening test and the development of an immunoassay for the measurement of the skeletal muscle CK isoform in bloodspots.

Stay ahead of developments in federal and state health care law, regulation and transactions with timely, expert news and analysis.
The FDA is waving goodbye to powdered medical gloves, banning them starting Jan. 18, 2017, because of risks to patients and health-care providers.
The Food and Drug Administration rarely uses its authority to ban devices. The agency's ban on powdered medical gloves is only the second time it has banned a medical device. The first time was more than 33 years ago, when it banned prosthetic hair fibers.
Exposure to powdered latex gloves can cause unreasonable and substantial risk of illness or injury to patients and health-care providers, the final rule containing the ban, published Dec. 19 (81 Fed. Reg. 91,722), says.
A medical device ban completely prohibits current and future sales, distribution and manufacturing of a medical device. The FDA is authorized to ban a medical device intended for human use if it finds the device presents an unreasonable and substantial risk of illness or injury that can't be corrected by changing the device's labeling.
"Banning powdered glove products is not expected to impose any costs to society, but is expected to reduce the number of adverse events associated with using powdered gloves," the agency said. "The primary public health benefit from adoption of the rule would be the value of the reduction in adverse events associated with using powdered gloves."
Public Citizen, a public health advocacy organization, welcomed the final rule but criticized the agency for not acting to ban the gloves in 1998, when the group first called for a ban.
"The agency's 18-year delay in acting to remove these dangerous products from the market represents reckless negligence," Michael A. Carome, director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group, told Bloomberg BNA Dec. 19.
"There is absolutely no new scientific information today that we didn't have in 1998 about the dangers posed by cornstarch powder and by latex when used in surgical and patient examination gloves. And alternatives to powdered medical gloves have existed for decades," Carome said.
"The FDA had the legal authority to ban powdered gloves in 1998. The agency should have used that authority to protect hundreds of thousands of hospital workers and patients who have been exposed to the powder. Had the FDA initiated the process of banning powdered medical gloves in 1998 instead of 18 years later, hundreds of thousands of health workers and patients would have been spared preventable, often life-threatening adverse reactions," Carome said.
Bloomberg BNA also contacted the American Latex Allergy Association (ALAA), a group representing people with latex allergies, which supported the ban, for comment on the rule, but didn't receive a response.
The Malaysian Rubber Export Promotion Council and the Trade Section of the Embassy of Malaysia in New York didn't respond to Bloomberg BNA's request for comment.Malaysia is the largest surgical and medical gloves supplier to the U.S. In fact, the value of glove exports reached $1.6 billion in 2015, according to the Malaysian embassy.
Banning powdered medical gloves "could eventually impair the competitiveness of our local players in the global rubber industry," the embassy told the FDA in comments on the proposed rule earlier this year.

After a hearty breakfast, we continued the heritage package of Courtyard by Marriott Pune Chakan by heading to Bhimashankar. It has a Shiva Temple which is one of the Jyotirlingas. The temple itself has fine carvings. After darshan we proceeded ahead to the sanctuary which is home to the Indian giant squirrel. We got to see one which had lovely orange brown fur with a long bushy tail. In size it is almost like a red panda. I would recommend wearing proper walking shoes as the nature trail path is uneven and strewn with rocks. We also saw karvi whose flowers bloom once in seven years and the origin of the River Bhima.
Once back at the hotel, we ordered some snacks from MoMo 2 You which is the in- room dining option as we were feeling too cosy to leave our luxurious room. Courtyard by Marriott Pune Chakan is celebrating M Day or Marriott Day, a Marriott India initiative and we got a scrumptious opera pastry as part of it.
Late evening we explored the hotel. While the Executive Lounge is accessible to Marriott Reward guests, the fitness centre is open round the clock for all guests. The gaming zone offers chess, table tennis, carom and has a foosball table. Banqueting areas include Otto, Lenoir, a ballroom called Rivaz with an attached lush lawn for weddings and an Executive Boardroom. The hotel also has an in-house ATM and a business centre. Apart from Deluxe Rooms, Suites are the other accommodation option. MoMo 2 Go offers bakery items, sandwiches, coffee and milkshakes if you are in a hurry to head out.
Feeling famished, we headed for dinner to MoMo Café. Our buffet was a delicious spread of Indian, Asian and Continental cuisines catering to all nationalities. The chefs can also prepare your preference cuisine on request. The next morning after our pampered stay, appetizing food and the interesting heritage experience, even while checking out we were already making plans to visit again.

Recent letter from Mescalero Tribe Council explains that climbing Sierra Blanca is no longer allowed due to mountain being a sacred site, etc. Last year my request to hike was refused because of the drought conditions, now apparently no climbing permitted whatsoever. slowbutsteady
However, when I made the summit on May 15, 2014, the summit mailbox had a nice notebook full of names and dates well after your 2007 post. Officially, Sierra Blanca may not be permitted, but I wouldn't let that stop anyone, as the evidence is that visitation is relatively frequent.
Summited 8/18/15. Climbed up the Ski Apache maintenance road to the top of the lifts (1900 vertical - about an hour). About 0815 talked to a young man (who I suspect was Mescalero Apache)doing maintenance on the top of the zip line. I asked where the short trail was up Lookout Mountain, which he pointed to, then he said "if you really want a view you should climb that", and pointed to the summit of Sierra Blanca. We chatted for a few minutes about the climb, and I thanked him and headed to the summit via Lookout. About an hour later arrived at the summit. Dozens of posts in the summit register. Hike was uneventful. Well worth the effort. By the way, the Ski Apache web site advertises that if you hike up, the ride back down (in the gondola) is "on us". It was a very pleasant 15 minute ride back down from the top of the lifts. I believe Ski Apache is owned/operated by the Apache tribe.

Bill Cosby has been convicted of sexual assault after a high-stakes retrial. Six women testified that Cosby drugged and then abused them.
On Thursday, April 26, 2018, the famed comedian was found guilty on all three counts. Cosby remains out on bail until his sentencing hearing.
When the first guilty verdict was read, some of the comedian's alleged victims shook and sobbed with joy, according to NBC News.
One of Cosby's accusers, Lili Bernard, wailed when she heard the verdict. When she started to sob, courtroom staff had to escort her from the room. She told reporters that her faith in humanity had been restored.
When the lawyers were discussing whether or not to revoke the comedian's bail, he lashed out at the prosecution. because Kevin Steele said that Cosby owned a plane and noted his wealth. The comedian does not own a plane.
Cosby faced dozens of allegations of sexual misconduct over several decades. He was charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault against Andrea Constand, who claimed that the comedian drugged her and sexually assaulted her in his home in January 2004. Cosby's first trial, in June, ended in a mistrial.
Before deliberations, the judge read back the testimony of the defense's main witness, who testified that Cosby's primary accuser said that she could "frame a high-profile person."
The jury was also read Cosby's 2005 deposition, where he admitted to drugging a woman with Quaaludes, so he could have sex with her.
The comedian is 80 years old, and he is facing the maximum 10-year sentence and a $25,000 fine for each count of sexual assault.
The guilty verdict was a victory for the #MeTooMovement. The group is well known for exposing sexual harassment in the entertainment industry, the media, politics, and more.
Cosby has repeatedly denied the allegations against him and said that sex with Constand was consensual.
On Wednesday, a few hours after deliberations began, the jury returned to ask for the legal definition of consent. Jurors were told they would have to figure out the definition on their own using common sense.
The 18-year case, which included two criminal trials and multiple investigations came to an end, on Thursday, when the verdict was announced.

Well, we completely failed to post a WRUP last week. That's our bad but this week we can make up for it. Lots of cool new stuff is happening in games:
NieR: Automata has it's first DLC and it's weird and perhaps even a little disappointing from what I'm reading. Not to mention the prerequisite for even playing it requires you to have reached a certain ending in the base game without resetting all your saves in the final portion.
THQNordic and Gunfire Games have announced Darksiders III, and I couldn't be happier about it. Let's all just hope it doesn't get cancelled before next years release.
Vermintide has released a couple of new maps that take place in a new area as well as putting some tweaks and balances in the game as a whole. I play this one a lot so I picked up the DLC right away. It's inexpensive and I'm sure I'll have fun with it alongside Cody and Twinstiq friend Nikolai.
GoG is having a pretty big sale on Star Wars games and that's always cool.
Prey will be out shortly if you're interested in that sort of thing. Could be pretty cool I think, but I'm the guy who never played the original title so I don't know how it compares.
The Switch is getting a fighting game controller some time this month. That's pretty neato. Nintendo also seems pretty hopeful that the Switch will sell ten million units by the end of the fiscal year. That would mean they actually start making money on the new console and put in on track with the success of the original Wii.
Golop has made their initial goal of $500,000 for the development of Phoenix Point. Golop made the original XCOM titles back in the day and Phoenix Point looks to be a sort of spiritual successor to it. Hopefully Fig doesn't decide to just take that money to pay the rent with or something.
Anyway, sorry we haven't been around with content for a while. We should have some new stuff coming up soon so stay with us. What's everyone up to this weekend?
Tru: Mass Effect: Andromeda, so, much, Mass Effect! Let the haters hate. Freaking love it!
Yoda: Steep baby. Nothing better when it's 99 degrees irl
Scroo: I'm going to be doing some chalk art for the local Butterfly Festival like I do each year. That's always fun. I was hoping to get back up to Yosemite this weekend because all the trails I like to hike are finally opening thanks to the huge snow pack we got this winter. But it looks like the weather may be a bit unpredictable and when you're up above 8,000 feet you don't need unpredictable weather. So I'll probably be hitting up more Vermintide mostly. I'm hoping to pick up the new Styx game soon and also start playing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance again for a Re-play Review.
Dr.S. Switch stuff! wooohooo!
Andrew: Bonk's Revenge, baby!
Greywolfe: i'm at world-flower in super mario 3d world, which means i'm basically near the end. i learned - through reading faqs - that the only way to get the last few stamps is to play the game through as EVERY CHARACTER. and jesus, nintendo, that's absurd. please, let's not and say we did. as for the rest: i messed around with reigns for a week and liked it - but it's the kind of thing you can only do in small bursts. i have more quest for glory 3 and more a mind forever voyaging that i need to deal with, too.
