Well when I said broke I meant broke, lol,but I did manage to get ahold of a small sum today that I hadn't been counting on, so I will still be in cigs, which was really my only worry because I have food in the house and already made arrangements with a friend with a car to give me rides now and then if I need one,and I am keeping busy with my writing and a few days a week I just started tutoring this wonderful 9 yr old boy who needs a little help with reading but is really sweet. Also, I'm taking lots of pictures, there are some more up there.
And I always knew the first month would be rough because of deposits and needing to get household goods and that first grocery trip where I got all the wrong things lol so it's not unexpected by a long shot..I have my meds..the VA gave me a three month supply,and will have more sent via ups when they are up, so am set with that,and if there is an emergency, the VA covers that too so I just gave my landlady their number if it's ever needed, so that base is covered too.
I was just really worried more than anything else that I would run out of cigs, lolol! Because I HAD planned on getting back into the airport and buying a carton or two duty free the day I came in, but you know the old saying, if you want to make God laugh,tell Him your plans, lolol! That first day was an adventure in and of itself and will tell ya'll about it sometime!
Right now I'm at DeBar, my home away from home. Still no water in the afternoons, but I saw one of the owner's kids today, and am keeping my fingers crossed..I could just take a towel and my shampoo down to Willowgate and shower there, which I am going to do starting tomorrow....I just hate the idea of not being able to take a shower AT HOME, ya know?
Oh well, you can't have everything, where would ya put it? I'm in Negril, doing fine, and that's what matters, the rest of it is just small stuff, and I try not to sweat the small stuff...or I'm working on it anyway.
I didn't expect to get any funds today, and there is a good chance that I will never hear the end of it from a family member about it, but I am just keeping my fingers crossed that in the long run, it won't make a difference either way anyway. Please send good vibes my way that that is exactly what happens, lol! ;)
I tell ya though..I'm thinking of moving..if nothing else to a higher floor..I have heard from Stephanie that it does have pretty views on the higher floor, and I don't sit out front of my balcony on the ground floor because all it looks into is a courtyard with a gate, and I wouldn't mind looking out and being able to sit on a balcony and look at the stars..but that would have to be only if/when the water situation gets resolved..I would hate to have to lug buckets of water to fill the toilet tank up flights of stairs, lolol!
Anyway, got a call from Macy, good to hear from ya gal! Still waiting to hear from Orba and others! ;)

New Year Updates
Posted by Carrie Ann on January 22nd, 2018 | 2 comments
Happy New Year!
We try to take time at the beginning of every new year to reflect on what God has done in the past year, and to look ahead to what he will do in the coming months. We have a lot of changes before us! That is both exciting and a little scary! First, some updates!
If you recall, Scot will be transitioning to the Teams Developer role for the Middle East region of the C&MA. Our family will leave Israel/Palestine mid-June, transition to Germany where we will spend a week (hopefully setting up a new home–pray that our coworkers can find a suitable living situation for us before our June arrival!), and then we will transition to the US for a two month Home Ministry Assignment. Before we leave here, Scot is doing his best to complete his dissertation, he will travel to Jordan to begin his TD role in late February, we will welcome visitors from the Metro District in March, he will defend his dissertation possibly in February or March, Maggie will come home for a two week Spring Break visit, Thomas will graduate from high school in May, and we will sell/give away almost everything we own in anticipation of our leaving in June! We also continue in our regular ministry responsibilities and hope to have time to say goodbye and end our time here well. Are your heads spinning yet? When I stop and look at the coming 5 months, I could easily slip into a panic.
But God is in this. He has called us and he has been faithful in the past to get us through what needs to happen as we transition. We trust in his goodness and we ask for your prayers! This move feels different even than our first big move overseas in 2004. Maybe because our children are older and we now have roots in two countries. And if I am being honest, I feel every one of my years as I think about starting over in a new country with a new language and culture. I am thankful that God has given us a love of people and culture and adventurous spirits!
Thomas was accepted into Lehigh University for early decision, which is a huge answer to prayer! He will begin school in the fall, which means we will transition back to Germany, leaving him behind in the US. This is a huge step for our family, and one that I do not believe you can fully prepare yourself for. Please pray for us all as we move into a new phase as a family.
Melissa Longley, our Envision volunteer and dear friend, is now unexpectedly in the US. Her visa was not renewed, and Scot is working hard to get her back. She serves as our field treasurer and our guest house manager, so we feel her absence keenly as we are called on to step into some of her roles. Thankfully, she is able to continue much of her job from the US temporarily. Please pray that her visa situation gets settled quickly! We miss Mel!
As we finish our time here, please pray for all aspects of our transition. Pray for our teammates as they face the upheaval that comes with our leaving. Pray for our local partners and friends as we prepare for a hard goodbye. Pray that we will be diligent and intentional about ending well.
As always, we are grateful for your partnership! Read on for more ways you can get involved in our ministry! We are thankful that you are walking with us through this time of transition and beyond!
Serving with joy~~
Carrie Ann

Wow, Carrie! Yes, mine is spinning, too, but not as much as yours. I will certainly lift you all up….lots of hard things ahead, but that means lots of opportunities to see God at work in your lives. I'll pray you resist the urge to panic, and instead lean into Jesus.
Thank you for obeying the call!

Conservatories In Lincolnshire By Vivaldi Construction
At Vivaldi Construction we have been constructing beautiful conservatories in Lincolnshire and the surrounding area for 18 years so we can be certain that if you want an all year round usable room we offer the best quality products, best value for money and un-rivalled personal service. We are Which? Trusted Traders, Ultra Installers, Consumer Protection Association members and FENSA registered. Our Lincolnshire conservatories represent the ultimate evolution of the conservatory, into a room that is both structurally sound and thermally efficient enough to enjoy all year as genuine extra living space.
We offer an almost unlimited range of designs and styles, to suit your requirements and budget. We supply and install a full range of bespoke projects from traditional conservatory designs to the most modern conservatories in Lincolnshire.
Lincolnshire Conservatories - Bespoke Design
Throughout our many years of trading we have built numerous conservatories in Lincolnshire of different styles, colours and with different materials. We work exhaustively through the design and planning stage of a conservatory project with the client to ensure the perfect combination of materials and style is chosen. Whether the client chooses uPVC, aluminium or hardwood we can specify a full range of standard colour options or alternatively our dedicated paint shop can bespoke paint the conservatory to match the client's existing home or the surrounding Lincolnshire area.
Our conservatories in Lincolnshire come in all shapes, shades and sizes, as you can see from these local example projects. We recently constructed these delightful conservatories for next door neighbours. The designs are very different, constructed to the clients individual requirements, but they share the same build quality, strong enough to withstand winds in excess of 130 mph and warm enough to enjoy throughout the winter with the highest performance glass.
Hardwood frame, aluminium roof Orangery Style Conservatory for Mr Ellis in Lincolnshire
Conservatories In Lincolnshire - Case Study
The image above showcases a beautiful bespoke conservatory in Lincolnshire built for Mr Ellis. This conservatory in Lincolnshire looks as though it has been there since the house was first built and is used by our client more than his original lounge. Although the side frames are made of hardwood and only the roof is aluminium this beautiful Lincolnshire conservatory blends seamlessly with the existing property.
Mr Ellis had to have his conservatory built with a mixture of hardwood and aluminium due to his home being in a conservation area, we knew our client would need to accommodate this factor as we had built a fantastic lead roof, hardwood conservatory for his next door neighbour.
Our clients are delighted with their investment, which blends really well with the existing house and has given them really valuable extra living space they can enjoy all year round. We have lots more Lincolnshire conservatories example projects, contact us if you would like any further information or to view more examples of our work. View some more conservatories Stamford projects.
Start Your Conservatory Project
Before beginning your project there are various things to consider; these can include basics such as design, materials and size but could also include investigating whether there are any restrictions on your property, such as conservation areas, listed building status or drainage/ inspection chamber issues. If you are ready to start discussing your Lincolnshire conservatory project with us then we have a couple of options. Firstly we like to receive as much information as possible from the potential client regarding their requirements; we can then use this information to draw up some initial CAD's of the bespoke conservatory ready for a quotation or to setup an appointment for further consultation.
Since establishing in March 2000, we at Vivaldi have always believed that the design and planning stage of a bespoke conservatory project in Lincolnshire is a job for an experienced professional, which is why we have never employed any salesmen. Our strong ethics mean we have an incredible attention to minute detail, whether that be at the planning stage or the installation stage, it also means we believe in doing our small part to help the environment so we've developed a sustainability policy with Environmental Scientists from the University of Nottingham that meets UK government environmental guidelines and is registered under the control of pollution act of 1989.

If you are interested in Escape Artist's Co-Living and Coworking projects, please take a brief moment to fill out our survey so that we can better serve you!
In Part 1 of this article, we looked at the concept of coworking and co-living spaces for remote workers, what the average demographic is for those who take up the lifestyle, and how data and trends from previous years can paint a picture for the industry in 2018.
Below, we'll look at some of the yearly tendencies for coworking and co-living (according to the Global Coworking Survey 2017), as well as some of the primary deciding factors for those looking to pick a specific coworking space.
Why Coworking?
Coworking spaces are a booming trend in the global landscape, allowing for those who work remotely to freely travel, network with like-minded people, have access to office infrastructure, and reside in any chosen city without the pressures of long contracts or the price of renting private offices or apartments.
Annual Trends for Coworking Spaces
No matter where in the world people choose to participate in coworking and co-living spaces, it seems that many of the trends and motivations are similar across the board.
January and September are the peak months for new members joining the coworking scene. January is usually the result of remote workers looking for more productivity after the holiday months, while September indicates recent graduates entering the workforce.
While some companies are beginning to shift their employees from traditional offices to coworking spaces in the same city, over half of those who participate in coworking spaces had worked from home prior to joining the shared-workspace scene. Despite this, coworking spaces largely operate on traditional office hours. Despite the freedom granted to its members to work on their own schedule, coworking days averaged about 9 hours – with most work being performed between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Primary Criteria for Choosing a Coworking Space
While personal freedom is likely a main motivating factor when it comes to choosing the coworking lifestyle, there are a few universal criteria that those who adopt this lifestyle put emphasis on when choosing a location.
Social Atmosphere. Almost 60% of coworking members listed this as their main criteria when choosing a coworking location. This makes sense, as this social interaction is what draws so many remote workers out of their homes in the first place. In continuing with this theme, 56% of those surveyed said that daily interactions with other members was the primary deciding factor – while 55% said strong community.
Location. Where the coworking space existed in a given city was also a large deciding factor for those surveyed. For those who weren't living onsite, the proximity of the coworking space to their apartment or home was the one of the largest factors (51%). 41% also noted that ease of transportation and the quality of public transportation around the coworking space were also crucial factors. Generally, people wanted their coworking spaces to be within 20 minutes in commuting time from their primary domiciles.
Value. No surprises here. People who are motivated and adventurous enough to seek out coworking spaces are also resourceful enough to understand that the bottom line is everything. If the price vs. the service doesn't match up, then there's no point doing it in the first place. 41% of members surveyed said that the value of the space for the money was the most important deciding factor when choosing a working space, while 38% specifically cited the office infrastructure.
As the New Year approaches, people around the world are looking for better ways to foster productivity, maximize personal freedom, and increase quality of life. The best way to do this is by finding that perfect balance between work and personal life. Coworking and co-living spaces may be the best way to shed the restrictions of a traditional office, find social interaction not present when working from home, and grant you the freedom to perform your job from anywhere in the world!

Traditional Advertisers Concerned About ROI on Internet
Page 1 of 1
A new survey of traditional advertisers finds the percentage of companies venturing online increased only three percent from a year ago, and the biggest barrier to Internet advertising continues to be no proof of return on investment (ROI), according to the Association of National Advertisers Inc (ANA).
The statistics come from a survey of the company's membership -- which numbers 292 companies and includes firms like AT&T, Coca-Cola, and Procter & Gamble -- which yielded 208 responses from 114 companies.
The survey results, which may come from too small a sample to be very significant, provide a window into the minds of traditional advertisers, whose embrace of online advertising will be critical for the growth of the medium.
The percentage of respondents advertising online had risen to 64 percent, three percent more than last year. However, the average spending for those who did go online tripled from a year ago -- rising to $1.9 million. Still, online advertising only represented 2.8 percent of respondents' total advertising budgets.
The main obstacle to companies making more online ad spends, according to the survey, was no proof of ROI. That problem was cited by 49 percent of respondents. Although online retailers can measure click-through, and even click-to-purchase, that measurement may not be as meaningful for more brand-oriented traditional advertisers.

Column Date 2005-12-14
It's 10 P.M. Do you know where your Congressman is?
Ankle bracelets are in the news these days. Not just ordinary ankle bracelets: Im talking about the kind that have little radio transmitters inside them the ones they put on sexual predators to make sure we know where they are, twenty-four hours a day.
After the rash of child kidnappings in Florida recently, some people also want to put these ankle bracelets on all school children, for safety, so that a parent will always know where a child is.
So far, so good. But this breakthrough technology is begging for new and creative uses.
Heres a simple idea to start us off on the right foot (no pun intended): lets put an electronic ankle bracelet on every congressman, every senator, every cabinet member, and indeed, every member of every administration. Every lobbyist should to be required to wear one, too.
Why? Because knowing where our congressmen are at all times can help us cut corruption and bribery, and make sure we get more for our money out of Washington.
Once all our elected officials are equipped with ankle transmitters, well know precisely where they are, within a few feet, anyplace on the face of the earth.
Any citizen will be able to log onto a website where he can see, for example, that Senator Boeing (Ill use their Washington nicknames here, to protect their true identities) is currently hard at work at his desk in the Senate Office Building. Bravo for the good senator!
But then theres Senator Wall St., whose secretary says hes tied up in an important committee meeting. His ankle bracelet, however, tells a different story it shows us that Senator Wall St. is on a fast-moving boat somewhere between Florida and Nassau, probably heading for some off-the-record gambling, or just to do some fishing.
No problem here its just one of those little white lies we expect from our elected officials.
Its a different can of worms with Senator Exxon, however. He calls his wife and tells her hes working late on an environmental protection bill with his colleagues. This sounds believable, right?
Time passes. His wife suddenly realizes that its long after midnight and the senator isnt home yet. Concerned for his safety, she logs on to the ankle bracelet site,
There she sees that the senator is actually in a downtown hotel.
The computer notes that his location coordinates are identical with those of a certain female Texas lobbyist.
Isnt technology wonderful?
Wouldnt it be fun to find out that your state senator is watching Tiger Woods sink a thirty-foot putt at the Masters during a crucial Homeland Security debate? Or hes on a Canadian fishing trip with three pharmaceutical lobbyists? Or that your congressman is flying to Hawaii right after he solemnly declared a state of emergency because of the Blizzard of 05?
As far as Im concerned, when it comes to the folks in Washington who handle our taxes and make our laws, theres nothing like All Surveillance, All the Time.

Singer • Songwriter • Storyteller
One listening experience with Cedric Jackson, II, and it's clear that it will be an elevating moment of transformation. His vocal prowess and authentic writing make him a welcome outlier in an industry whose sound has become homogenous and fans are yearning for more soul, purer R&B, and artists who sound more like themselves than each other. With music central to his life since childhood, a degree from the most prestigious music school in the world under his belt, and a rapidly increasing fan base, Cedric Jackson, II is poised to position himself as the next bourgeoning star male vocalist in the industry.
During his time at Berklee, he was a polarizing figure, in the best way, sharing his gifts in various capacities, as he matriculated. Cedric released debut single "We Run We Fall We Rise" in 2014, putting his degree in Professional Music, with concentrations in Songwriting and Music Therapy to good use. In 2016, he released his debut EP "Balance", to warm reception, and his music video for "You'll Never Know," which garnered over 40K views. Cedric also earned a coveted feature spot in Berklee's Commencement Concert, where he honored the legendary vocalist, Lionel Richie, with an incredible performance of the classic song "Hello." The video of this performance is taking social media by storm, surpassing 10k views on Facebook, and counting.
He finds his inspiration through legends such as The Temptations, Ray Charles, and Marvin Gaye. With lyrics often inspirationally driven, Cedric aims to bring together all areas of his background, Gospel, Classical, R&B, Hip Hop, and Jazz, to cultivate his own interpretation of Soul music today.
"Love Will Always Win," a new and inspirational tune released on Berklee's YouTube channel is expected to be included on his forthcoming project, which will diverge from the more produced sound we heard on "Balance" to feature a live band. The project yet to be titled strives for a more organic feel, driven by the emotion that relatable storytelling evokes.
Currently, Cedric is performing for hire at various events in Boston, and continuing to showcase his immense talent to all of Massachusetts. He is expected to make his move to Los Angeles or Atlanta in the next year

I've been feeling really weak and no energy, trying to transition to becoming a vegetarian.
I also need to lose weight. I've been eating mostly beans, eggs, milk and cheese for my vegetarian protein.
Is there anything you can recommend to get me through being tired and weak? Thanks for your help! - G. W.
Dear G. W.,
You could be detoxing, or not getting enough of the right nutrients, or not absorbing them well. It takes the body a while to adapt to a different diet.
1) Read the Savvy Vegetarian nutrition report, so you can get an idea what you should be eating.
2) Take a probiotic and/or digestive enzyme to help your digestion. Udo's Choice is a good brand, available at Vitacost.
3) Eat lots of fresh veggies and fruit, both cooked and raw, and juice them too, if you have a juicer.
4) Easy on the beans, eggs, milk and cheese - you may be overloading your digestion with too much of a good thing.
Investigate other sources of vegetarian protein, like nuts and seeds, tofu, and whole grains, and eat less protein, favoring fresh veg and whole grains. Read the SV article: How to Get Enough Protein in Your Veg Diet.
5) Drink lots and lots of water - 2 to 3 quarts a day, and no caffeine or sugar, carbonated beverages, etc.
6) Have blood work done to check the levels of these and other critical nutrients: B12, iron, Vit. D, iodine, folic acid. Take a nutritional supplement - Rainbow Light Vitamins makes a good food based one-a-day for women.
Here's an interesting B12 article: Vegetarians, Are You Getting Enough Vitamin B12?. And one on iron: Iron and Vegetarian Diet

In 2010 I am going to try to do a little better with my blogging. To start off the year I have made a list of my favorite 10 projects from 2009. Here we go!
This is a shot at making my own stationary for birthday gifts. I had Reese draw a big birthday cake and scanned it. Printed it on cardstock and wala… I will not buy birthday cards anymore! Not that I ever did!
The land lords in the house we are renting replaced the windows this year so I asked to have the old ones.
A couple of cute canvases!
And of course I started soldering!!!!!!!!!!! This was a custom order for someone who wanted a picture of a tree in it. I thought it came out pretty cool! www.sodderbug.com
I started painting glass this fall!
I made the whole alphabet and plan on doing one out of pictures taken on a farm! My plan is to have a book printed for Nicholas to practice his letters and just for a keepsake! I might also print out the letters of his name and have them framed to hang on his bedroom wall!
My new embroidery font that I LOVE!!
I made baby slings!
This is a tassel that I made out of a finial that I took off the curtain rod in my living room. I tore strips of scrap fabric that I already had. It cost me nothing to make! I made several of these and sold them at a craft show for $20. They all sold fast!!!
Here is a collage of sewing projects. Going around clockwise starting in the top left corner…
I bag I made for my mom, a couple of Johnny's I made for Nicholas, a dress for Reese. She picked out the pattern and the fabric! Next one, I took a pair of too short jeans, cut them off and added a ruffle and ribbon belt. I also painted the tractor on the shirt. A to-shirt that I (or maybe it was Anja?!) painted a dancer on and added fabric to the bottom to make it a dress. Added a ruffle and appliqué heart to the overalls. A couple pairs of pants that were too short for Reese so I made them capri's and added ribbon and buttons. A baby sling. This next one is an original idea. A little boy had a blankie that was totally tattered but he still liked to hold it at night. I made this bag that has loose elastic on the top so the blanket is inside and he can put his hand inside the bag to sleep! And 2 burp clothes!!
Here are my Top 10 for Memorable
Events of 2009

Well back into the home-lab today for a short discussion on power. Every time I run a class and use my personal lab for demo, my office heats up, and my electric bill increases. I've always wanted to implement something like the digital loggers we used back when I was at another training company.
Back then, these were about 3–400 bucks. Great for the labs at work, but not so good for a personal lab. While at yet another company, we used the APC switched power controllers. As you can tell, its still not a "home" type solution. Enter Ubiquiti Networks. They make a cool little power strip that does exactly what I was looking for.
Hello mPower!
mPower is a mFi Controllable Power Outlet. These outlets are both Ethernet and Wi-Fi controllable, with 1,3,6,or 8 outlet form factors. The setup is very simple and the outlet is easy to control.
As you can see below, the outlet mounts flat on a wall (backet included) and each outlet is clearly numbered. The light at the bottom indicates the state of the outlets. Solid yellow indicates factory default mode, flashing blue is connecting to mFi Cloud or Controller, and solid blue indicates connected to mFi Cloud of Controller.
Managing the Outlets
There are two options for management, mFi Cloud and Controller based. I chose to install the controller on a server. You can then log into the controller and pull various bits of information about power consumption, state of each outlet, and even customize a map to indicate the location of each outlet.
To control the outlet you click the icon for the port you want and toggle the power….
Exciting right?
Additionally you can toggle the data seen here:
Create rules to control when things should be shut down.
You can also watch the energy consumption at each port, and tie it back to the spend. An settings tab at the bottom lets you define the cost / kWh.
You can also browse directly to the IP or hostname of the outlet for management.
Overall I feel it was a GREAT buy. I picked up up on amazon for 89.00 each. It's a fantastic solution for a home lab that you just might want to access while you're away on a trip. The price is reasonable, and the software is very easy to use. Check it out, and happy labbing!

John Sayles' latest film, "Casa de los Babys," follows the same basic
blueprint as his aforementioned efforts, interweaving a substantial
cast of characters in a politically-charged story about six American
women who have come to live in a South American motel while they await
the finalizations of their planned adoptions. Eileen (Susan Lynch)
stays to herself more often than not, with dreams of a beloved kinship
she will share with her child. Skipper (Daryl Hannah) is an exercise
fanatic still dealing with the three miscarriages she has suffered
in the past. Jennifer (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a young, wealthy D.C.
native who can't conceive and seems to be growing distant from her
faraway husband. Leslie (Lili Taylor) is a New York editor who quickly
loses interest in every man she meets. Gayle (Mary Steenburgen) is
a recovering alcoholic who has found salvation through Christianity.
And Nan (Marcia Gay Harden) is a pampered know-it-all whose daily
routine involves lying to the other women and stealing from the motel.
What gradually becomes clear to the other five is that Nan isn't even
fit to be a mother, but will get one anyway based on the power she exhibits.
"Casa de los Babys" is John Sayles' most unsatisfying motion picture
since 1994's dreary Ireland fable, "The Secret of Roan Inish." At
95 minutesover a half-hour shorter than is the norm for the directornot
enough time is afforded to any of these six central characters in
order to develop them fully. They are characterized by one or two
traits as the movie progresses, and just as the viewer is starting
to get a handle on them the end credits arrive. It doesn't help that
there are so many other supporting characters and subplots struggling
for time, including the adventures of a homeless, illiterate 8-year-old
thief who carries around a children's book he is unable to read; an
unemployed native who can't find work and takes a chance on a lottery
ticket; a pregnant 15-year-old forced to give her unborn child up
for adoption; and a sullen young maid (Vanessa Martinez) at the "casa
de los babys" who also once had to give her baby away. The characters
are intriguing peripheries, each one with the potential to be explored
but none given the chance to do so. As for the subplots, they are
so skimmed over they hardly make any impression at all.
Credit the reliable performers for making the most out of their underutilized
roles. Most memorable are Susan Lynch (2001's "From Hell") as the
stable Eileen, who shares a deeply felt connection with Vanessa Martinez
(1999's "Limbo") despite the extreme language barrier between the
two; Lili Taylor (2000's "High Fidelity") as the forthright Leslie,
who brings humor and poignancy to her scenes; and Marcia Gay Harden
(1998's "Meet Joe Black") as the self-centered Nan, who suggests a
level of vulnerability under her steely veneer. The most wasted potential
comes from Daryl Hannah's (2002's "A Walk to Remember") Skipper, whose
depression over the loss of her babies is barely focused on at all.
And although fine, Mary Steenburgen (2001's "Life as a House") and
Maggie Gyllenhaal (2001's "Donnie Darko") are given next to nothing
to do despite having clearly fascinating backstories.
"Casa de los Babys" has a grander scope than Sayles was either able
to afford or invest enough time in developing. He clearly has a lot
to say, not only about the laws of adoption in South America but also
on the state of the country as a whole, but he never manages to convey
these subjects with any sort of sharp-eyed clarity. The irony-filled
final scene, in which Eileen and Nanarguably the most fit and unfit
parents-to-be out of the six womenawait meeting their adopted babies
for the first time, is effective but leaves things distractingly open-ended,
and not in the same startlingly brilliant way "Limbo" did. We got
to deeply know the characters in "Limbo" and were personally invested
in their plight, and the sudden conclusion of that film was all the
more effective because of what it suggested but never felt the need to show.
In the case of the characters in "Casa de los Babys," they remain
clumsy snapshots rather than three-dimensional human beings. This
time, with the closing credits comes a distinct and unshakable feeling
of disappointment and missed opportunities. John Sayles is much better
than what "Casa de los Babys" would have you believe, and there is
no doubt he will reclaim his status as one of today's most courageous
and talented filmmakers again.

Despite being late to the office which was NOT my fault but I don't want to embarass the person whose fault it was since Sue forgot to pick me up at my apartment. Oops!, spilled the beans. Gary Thompson, Ingrid Haythorpe and a couple other from the AG's department met with the team to throw around some ideas and it was a very productive session. The afternoon was a thinking day set aside for me to process all the information I have to in order to make my recommendations cogtent and evidence-based. The justice system is huge and includes so many different diverse groups it's important that all aspects be reviewed before any final decisions are made. I'm also putting together a research document for those who want to delve into the subjects a little further. It seems a shame that two and a half years of document gathering should only be used once. Additionally, we'll draw up an implementation plan so the report does not become a doorstop. The evening started with dinner at Enzo's an old-fashioned, what I would call North Beach-style, Italian restaurant near the Adelaide event center. I had a fabulous organic, free range chicken breast stuffed with spinach and covered with crispy prosciutto. It sat upon a potato galette and was surrounded with a gargonzola sauce. Brocolini accompanied it. When I say it was divine, it was to die for. After dinner Sue, her husband Andrew and their friends and I went to hear Carole King and James Taylor in concert. It's been a good ten years since I saw music live except for the symphony, ballet and opera. I forgot how much fun it was to sing along. The center was packed to the gills but I was able to see everything on the Jumbotrons. What a great invention. All in all, a terrific day.

One Week Down — Yikes!
Posted by peggyhora on March 27, 2010
Friday was another busy, busy day. I never made it into the office. I was the keynote speaker at the South Australian Law Society conferece. It's a 3,000 member bar association. The meeting was kicked off by Chief Justic John Doyle who very kindly mentioned my work. The conference title, "Smart Justice," was taken from my residency. My session was chaired by Justice Robyn Layton and Professor Richard Balfour spoke about the high incidence of hearing impairment in the APY Lands (the traditional Aboriginal community) and the implications for the legal system. Certainly something I had never thought about. I spoke about the Family Treatment Drug Court and the Chief Judge of the Youth Court, Steven McEwen, was in attendance. Later in the afternoon I'm told he spoke and reiterated much of what I had to say. After lunch I left to have a much-anticipated meeting with Monsignor David Cappo, Commissioner for Social Inclusion. Our one hour meeting stretched to 90 minutes as we had much to discuss. I think I am safe in saying our thoughts and ideas are quite compatible. I got home to rest for one hour then met Sue King and her husband Andrew at my apartment and we walked over to the Cinema where we attended the premiere of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," a fundraiser for OXFAM. The movie tracked the book quite well and the actress who played Lisbeth was absolutely perfect. The scenes of the little town of horrors were spectacular and I was on the edge of my seat several times. After the movie and not winning the raffle prizes, we repaired to the Belgian Beer Cafe Oostende for a late supper. Andrew had a beautiful fish stew, Sue and her friend Mike had fishcakes and frittes and I had their gnocci in a pancetta sauce. Heavenly potato pillows in a smokey light cream sauce. Delish! Saturday morning I was back at the Law Society conference for a public speech which went very well. I then dashed off to the Central Market which readers from last fall may remember as a foodie's nirvana. I toted home a spinach and tomato quiche; half barbeque chicken; salad fixings; some lovely cheeses; fruit, including some incredible figs; tinylamb chops and a jalapeno bagel with Danish butter for tomorrow's breakfast. Love that place. I had pretty much exhaused what Pamela had laid in for me upon my arrival last week. Seven days ago? Oh, my. I'm having dinner with a friend from Sydney tonight — Astrid Birgden who is the warden of the mandatory treatment jail or gaol I'm going to tour when I get up the New South Wales near the end of my visit. Sunday will definitely be a day of rest, reflection and maybe cracking into the second book after "Tattoo" lent to me by Ingrid Haythorpe. Before I know it it will be Monday morning again and it's of to the races. Week two doesn't look any less busy than this first one.

Meeting with the A Team, Families, Justice
Posted by peggyhora on March 25, 2010
The A Team, my 16-25-year-old advisers, and I met for the first time today. One team is working on trust and confidence in the courts, communication with the public and website redesign. Interestingly enough, Premier Mike Rann said today, "… [W]e will improve our consultation with the community and we will use online more for your input & feedback." The other team is looking at teen courts, restorative justice in schools, and school discipline. I'm looking forward to seeing their recommendations. I'll meet with them again in week four to see what they are thinking about. I then met with Jos Mazel, CEO of the Dept. of Families and Communities and Julie Gunn from Juvenile Justice. We discussed the Unified Family Treatment Court concept and juvenile diversion among other topics. It was a lively discussion with two fascinating women and the hour flew by. Finally, the Advertiser article posted today along with the photo I had predicted. Me on the bench, looking backwards with the Supreme Court in the background.

Top judges and more media
Posted by peggyhora on March 24, 2010
My day started with breakfast with the Thinkers CEO, Gabe Kelley. We went to a great little place near my apartment that was new to me. Very nice breakfast with fresh orange juice. Next, to the office where I worked on briefing papers and then met for lunch with the Chief Justice, John Doyle; Chief Judge of the District Court, Terry Worthington; and, Chief Magistrate Liz Bolton. They were quite keen to know what I've been thinking and are anxious to work closely during the rest of my residency to advance the recommendations I'll make. After lunch the media advisor Joanna Hughes and I met a phototographer and writer for the City Messenger, another local newspaper. There should be a story next week (they're a weekly). After the interview and photo session it was back to the office where Catalysts Sue King and Nichole Hunter are whipping my writing into shape and continuing to research all the issues. It's going to be a nice collaboration to produce the report.

Media blitz
Posted by peggyhora on March 23, 2010
Well, perhaps not a blitz per se but this morning I was interviewed for an hour by Tori Shepherd from The Advertiser, Adelaide's local newspaper. She was quite engaging and had lots of good questions. I'm hoping she not only does a general story but can run a couple of follow-up articles from the interview. Her photographer appeared later in the afternoon and we went for a variety of shots in front of the Supreme Court. My least favorite was sitting on the lawn al fresco looking at the Court. Sigh. What they'll probably run is one of me seated on a bench, looking over the back with the Court in the background. Lunchtime was spent with Ingrid Haythorpe whom you'll remember as my hostess in Mannum on the river and Gary Thompson the State Court Administrator with whom I shared a meal at his home with his wife and two adorable daughters during my last visit. We caught up on the latest news and talked about the directions of my residency. They were, as always, helpful and encouraging. We ate at the Chessar Cellar, a vunerable old resturant that's a bit of an institution. I had a lovely seafood tagliatele with squid, prawns, scallops and fish in a spicy light tomato sauce. I also had informal meetings throughout the day with my project catalast, Sue King, and new-on-board second catalyst, Nichole Hunter who has a criminology research background with a special expertise in restorative justice. They went to work straight away organizing the preliminary notes I had brought along. Now that there's a structure for my report, we can forge ahead with the draft. The day ended with a meeting with the drug court prosecutors. Again, I skipped going out for dinner and instead stayed in for fruit and cheese. Off to bed soon where I'm reading a delightful book on my Kindle titled Somewhere Towards the End by 90-year-old memoirist Diana Athill. According to Publisher's Weekly, "She is bluntly unconcerned with conventional wisdom, unapologetically recounting her extended role as the Other Woman in her companion's prior marriage." The New Yorker says, "Athill spent more than fifty years editing writers including Philip Roth, Norman Mailer, Jean Rhys, and V. S. Naipaul. In later life, she 'had the luck to discover' that she could write…" And write she can.

And so it begins…
Posted by peggyhora on March 22, 2010
Monday morning, my first day in the Thinker office in six months, I found today that since I've been gone one office worker got engaged, one got pregnant and one left to go to England to work with a Thinker. We had a staff meeting until noon going over six weeks of schedules, outlines for the final report, and some social events. We went to lunch at Medina Courtyard and sat outside in the 24 C/78F degree weather. Lovely mussels for lunch with a crisp glass of Australian white wine. Then off to the Supreme Court to meet with Justice Layton and Dr. Balfour with whom I'm presenting at the Law Society conference on Friday. Back to the office to review briefing papers for meetings later in the week then finally to home. In mid-April two former Thinkers, Dr. Geoff Mulgan who has done a TED speech, Professor Ilona Kickbusch from Switzerland and I do a presentation as part of "the thinkers return" series. 750 people have already booked it! Wow. I'm staying in this evening to see The Mentalist then off to bed after a busy day.

Whirlwind through the Capital
Posted by peggyhora on March 20, 2010
On Thursday, I arrived in Canberra after many hours in the air and just rested for the afternoon. I met Toni Makkai, Dean of the College of Arts and Social Sciences at Australian National University (ANU) for a Chinese dinner and a catch up. We hadn't seen one another since 2006! The next morning, Dr. Nova Inkpen, manager of the Restorative Justice Unit (RJU), Dept. of Justice and Community Safety for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), picked me up and took me to the RJU to meet everyone who hosted me for the day. I met with Kathy Leigh, CEO of the Dept., whom I had met last fall, just to touch base on her expectations of my visit. We then went on to ANU where Dr. John Braithwaite, father of restorative justice, introduced my lecture at Hedley Bull Centre. Talking about RJ in front of Dr. Braithwaite was like cooking beef bourguignon for Julia Child. It was attended by an audience of academics NGOs, police and lawyers. Then we went back to the Dept. for a closed meeting over lunch attended by the members of the Australian Federal Police – Crime Prevention Portfolio, Prosecutors from the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Executive Director and officers from her Legislation and Policy Branch, the Restorative Justice Unit, Director of the Aboriginal Justice Centre, Director of the Police Citizen's Youth Club, and the Victim's of Crime Coordinator.
Taking a break from meetings, I was wisked to Station 666 (no sign of the devil jokes), the local Australian Broadcasting Company (public radio) station for an interview with Louise Marr who does the drive time show. I got good feedback on it at: http://blogs.abc.net.au/canberra/2010/03/trying-criminals-in-a-new-way.html?site=canberra&program=canberra_drive
After the radio show we dashed to a meeting with Simon Corbell, the Attorney General for the ACT as well as Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for Environment, Water and Climate Change and Minister for Energy. The 20-minute meeting ran for nearly an hour as we hit it off immediately and he was very interested in my reform ideas. I ended the business part of the day by meeting with Magistrates Peter Dingwall, Karen Fryar, Maria Doogan and Ken Cush and Supreme Court Justices Richard Refshauge and Hilary Penfold. The judges and I talked for almost two hours. Finally, Dr. Inkpen took me out to dinner at a terrific Italian restaurant, Mezzalira, very near my hotel so I could roll into my room and sleep forever. It was an exhausting but exhilirating day.

Coming back to Oz
Posted by peggyhora on March 17, 2010
I'm sitting in the Red Carpet Club at San Francisco International Airport waiting to board my plane to return to Oz. I got upgraded to Business Class so the 14-hour flight will be bearable. And, since it's a 10:40 pm flight, I'll be able to get a full night's sleep. Oh, joy; oh, rapture. After I land and clear customs/immigration, I go to the domestic terminal for my flight to Canberra, the country's capital. I'll get there about mid-day Thur., take a nap and prepare to see my friend, Toni Makkai, for dinner. On Friday I'm touring the Restorative Justice unit of the Attorney General's department; giving a public speech and being introduced by John Braithwaite (I'm so intimidated); meeting with the Community Safety division; and, doing a short presentation to the judges. Dr. Inkpen is taking me to dinner. I'm really looking forward to it. On Sat., I fly to Adelaide via Melbourne (wouldn't you know it, the only day without a direct flight to Aderlaide is Saturday) and will be greeted by Pamela and Sue who will take me to my apartment. I've rented the same one I stayed in last time since I'm already acclimated to it and know where everything is. It will be nice to be back in my Adelaide home. I'm told that "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is playing in the theater near my apartment and I just finished reading it tonight before leaving for the airport. I'm going to miss my family and friends but this is such an adventure, I can't say I'm sad to leave. I'm looking forward to some exciting times.

Shepherd stays with Force

Cameron Shepherd has committed his future to the Western Force after agreeing a new two-year deal with the club and the Australian Rugby Union (ARU).
The 26-year-old, who has won nine Test caps for Australia, is the leading scorer in Western Force history with 337 points, including 32 career tries during his 47 appearances in the blue jersey.
"It's exciting to think that I'm going to be spending another couple of years in Perth, it is the city I've fallen in love with, the people are fantastic, not only everyone involved with the Force but the friends I've made outside of rugby as well," he said.
"In the five seasons I've been at the Western Force I feel as though I've accomplished a lot of things that I'm really proud of. This includes helping build the club from the ground up, experiencing a Commonwealth Games and playing for the Wallabies.
"I'm hoping to do a lot more and really feel as though I've only just scratched the surface. I want to be able to produce even more for the Force in the coming years."
Shepherd has been restricted by a frustrating run of injuries over the past two years. But having regained full fitness, he is back in top shape and determined to recapture the form that saw him score seven tries a season in three of his five years at the Force.
"What I want to do is put all those things (injuries) behind me and move on and play football. I don't want to look back and say I started well in my career and then got injured and didn't do much after that," Shepherd said.
"I'm definitely ready to step up and get some more opportunities at the top level. When the time finally comes to hang up my boots I hope to look back and have as many fond memories of the second half of my career as I do of the majority of the first half.
"I think the team is definitely heading in a strong direction, the appointment of Richard Graham as head coach from 2012 is great news and he'll continue the good work already done by John Mitchell. It is one of the reasons I'm excited about staying here. The community support, not just for me but for the team, has been massive and they've stuck with us through thick and thin and will be rewarded in the seasons to come."
Shepherd will face strong competition for a place in the back three from team-mates James O'Connor, Scott Staniforth and Nick Cummins.

The Blair memoirs, released on the day that ballot papers for Labour's leadership campaign were sent out, contains reflections on some of the candidates.
On David Miliband, the book says: "He did a masterful job of putting the Government programme together, keeping ministers happy even while guiding them, sometimes forcefully, towards a direction other than the one they intended . He was perfect for the first term: really clever, plainly, and with good party politics."
As the party was looking for a new leader, Blair says Miliband came to see him: "Two years later he would be a different calibre of politician, with clear leadership qualities; back then in May 2007, as he sought my advice, he was hesitant and I felt fundamentally uncertain as to whether he wanted it."
On Ed Balls: "I thought he behaved badly at points, and was wrong on policy – but I also thought he was really able, and a talent that any political party should be grateful to have."
"Balls was and is immensely capable intellectually, and also has some of the essential prerequisites for leadership: he has guts, and he can take decisions. But he suffers from the bane of all left-leaning intellectuals. As I have remarked elsewhere, these guys never 'get' aspiration."
One of the leading contenders for the leadership, Ed Miliband, has only a handful of passing mentions, Andy Burnham is mentioned once in passing and Diane Abbot is missing.

Newcastle United have been instructed to 'double their money' to stand any chance of landing Nicolai Jorgensen from Dutch champions Feyenoord.
The Magpies reportedly tabled a €14.5m bid for the Danish striker earlier in the week, though that was swiftly rejected by the Dutch sides hierachy. It appears the Rotterdam giants have now turned down a second bid, with the club demanding a fee of at least €25m.
The 27-year old international has impressed in the Eredivisie since moving from Danish champions FC Copenhagen in the summer of 2016, scoring 34 times in 60 appearances for De Trots van Zuid.
The Northern Echo report that Feyenoord acknowledge keeping hold of Jorgensen may prove difficult, but they are determined to extract what they believe to be his true worth.
Newcastle meanwhile are reportedly prepared to double his wages at St James' Park, with scout Steve Nickson reported to have given manager Rafa Benitez glowing references about Jorgensen.
He is understood to be keen on a move to the Premier League, and Newcastle will hope the financial package they can offer may offer an added incentive. Jorgensen currently earns around £20,000 per week at De Kuip.
News of the Dutch sides asking price is likely to cast doubt over the move though, with the club's transfer record currently standing at just £16m, a fee paid for Michael Owen to Real Madrid back in 2005.
Owner Mike Ashley has vowed to support manager Rafael Benitez in the transfer market, despite the apparent collapse of protracted takeover discussions with Amanda Staveley's PCP Capital Partners group.
With the uncertainty surrounding the ownership of the club continuing, it could prove unlikely that Newcastle's hierarchy will sanction breaking their transfer record in order to land Jorgensen.

President Donald Trump will answer questions in writing and under oath for the 2017 defamation lawsuit filed by former "Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos, the Washington Post reported Sunday.
According to a new court filing, attorneys for the president and Zervos have agreed to the exchange of "written answers and objections" to questions submitted in writing by Sept. 28. Trump will be sworn in prior to the written interrogation.
Zervos, who in 2016 accused Trump of grabbing her breast without her consent and unwanted aggressive kissing in 2007, filed suit against the then president-elect in January 2017. The defamation suit alleges that Trump falsely branded Zervos a liar after she made her accusations public, calling her story "totally made up nonsense."
