Miami Restaurants 101
ARTICLE BY miami PUBLISHED Aug 29, 2012
As it is no secret that Miami is one of the world's truly "international cities", the truth about Miami having some of the best dining venues and restaurants ever known to be is also true, with different dining destinations heralding their specialties to one and all.
However, as the "best" title is one that is increasingly relative, different dining venues in Miami have their own standards over what is best, and getting a firm grasp on that is good to know, especially in the case of out of towners or vacationers.
If you are on the lookout for a good Miami based restaurant where you and your partner could celebrate good food over good company, here are some of the well known points which Miami's longest running dining venues ascribe to, making them some of the city's best.
Security and Safety – No one wants to risk their safety or risk loosing any of their personal belongings when it comes to eating out.
As such, a good dining venue sees to it that their customers are not going to be subject to thefts and robberies, with security guards and the minimum requirement of security cameras installed in various sections of the restaurant.
For whatever reason customers may find these safeguards as unnecessary, a good Miami restaurant utilizes their services and benefits in ensuring the safety and security of its customers.
Proper and Updated Permits – A good Miami restaurant would have nothing to hide in terms of the necessary permits and papers that are required by local government business rules, having no scruples in posting its business permits, health inspection certifications, and other permits in a prominent space in the venue.
Portions and Menu Selections – A good Miami restaurant is not only unrelenting in continuously wowing their customers with menu variations and new menu highlights, but is also conscientious when it comes to the portions of their orders.
Though an order that's tantamount to pigging out isn't exactly what we're talking about here, many diners, from elite gourmets and gourmands, note that food portions play an integral role as a qualifier that defines a venue as good, given the fact that fine food is not only about fancy names and expensive ingredients, but also about sustenance.
A restaurant that remembers to keep this in mind knows that going too upscale with the presentation of food is important, but not as important as sating the satisfaction and cravings of its customers with proper menu order portions.
Do well in looking into the abovementioned points that define good restaurants, and you'll certainly be able to find the best Miami restaurant that suits your ideals.

An article I frequently refer to is The Essentials. In the essentials, I mention money. Today I wanted to share with you my thoughts on money.
New SITE…..BROSWAGGER.COM. Click here to be redirected.
It is essential
Money is essential for survival these days. Long gone are the days of living in the wilderness and hunting for your own food.
Although you don't need all the "toys" and modern day luxuries to survive, you most certainly do need food, clothing, and a place to lay your head at night.
Piece of mind
Having a little money tucked away will give you some piece of mind. As anyone knows, unexpected expenses come up from time to time. If for some reason your car needed a repair, you know you can get it fixed without breaking your bank account.
Having some spare cash will put your mind at ease and prevent you from constantly worrying.
Sign of an accomplishment
Generally speaking, having some money tends to be a sign of a great accomplishment in life.
If you didn't inherit the family fortune, or you weren't born into money, this often means you completed a challenging educational program, or built a thriving business. However you did it, congrats!
Status conveyor
No doubt about this at all.
When you have money, you often have status. Fair or not, there's denying that people with money are treated better in society.
In my opinion, this may very well be the best reason to try and increase your bank account.
When you have money, you have freedom. You can easily afford to go on those luxurious vacations, you can buy that sports car you want, or basically any other flashy gadget you so desire. If you have a lot of money, you can basically do whatever you want, whenever you want.

Money DOESN'T buy happiness
Although money can certainly buy you a lot of materialistic possessions, I don't believe it can technically buy you happiness.
I recall an interesting conversation I had one day with female co-worker of mine. She told me that she was considering a business and said although the money would be nice, it wasn't everything to her. She told me her uncle was a lawyer and one day he told her how much he hated his job. He said although he has tons of money and could basically buy anything he wanted, he never has time to do anything. He starts work at 8 in the morning and most days he's still working come midnight. She said he even told her if he could do it all over again he would have never became a lawyer.
I also recall a woman once telling me how different the mentalities were in different parts of the world she's visited. In Canada, for example, we to tend be more materialistic. If one were to own a 2103 car, we'd complain it wasn't a 2015. She said in Australia, people had more the mentality of, "Wow, I turn my car on and it starts. It even gets me from point A to point B. Surfs up, dude."
Money can cause greed
To quote a popular verse from the bible, "For the love of money is the root of all evil."
There's definitely a lot of truth to that verse.
Money can cause even the straightest of shooters to do all kinds of corrupt and unethical things for the chance to increase their own bank account.
Ability to help others less fortunate
Now this does not necessarily mean donating thousands to charity. You would be surprised at how a small gesture of generosity can impact others less fortunate.
Although I don't particularly care to give money to "street bums," one night I was approached by a guy who looked very down on his luck. He said he hadn't eaten all day and would appreciate any spare change I had. I pride myself on being good at reading people and really did believe him. Rather than giving him money, I said, "I'll buy you a slice pizza." There was a pizza place right behind us and I went in and bought him a slice and a can of pop. His face light up with a smile, he thanked me multiple times, and I knew he was grateful.
I'm not encouraging guys to constantly be giving away money, but once in a while it doesn't hurt. I'll be the first to admit the whole, "Would you like to donate a dollar to (insert some major fundraising corporation where the "administrative staff" gets 80% of the funds collected)" can be annoying as hell.
Impact on the dating world
Money definitely plays a factor in the dating world.
As with looks, all things being equal, generally speaking, a guy in better financial shape is going to do better with woman. The guy with more money can provide women with the security and lifestyle that a guy worse off just isn't capable of.
That being said, however, your goals in regards to women play a HUGE factor in this. For long term relationships, money plays a bigger factor than for guys just looking for hookups.
In fact, for purely hookups, money isn't really that important. Looking good + being able to close + having a place close by is all you really need. A guy who looks like Channing Tatum who can seal the deal is going to do better than an unattractive rich guy.
Yes, unfortunately, if you don't make/have that much money some women will not be interested in you. It's not necessarily that they're "gold diggers", they may have rich parents and are accustomed to a certain lifestyle and feel as though it'll come to an end if they were to get serious with you.
I would like to caution guys to be VERY careful around women who ONLY seem interested in you for your money. Any guy who's met a few women before has likely met a few who seemed very interested in your wallet. I remember a guy once telling me about a woman who approached him before at a bar in Alberta, Canada, and the first thing she said was, "How much do you make a year?" Anyone with a half a brain would have immediately walked away!
Another thing to keep in mind is that although you may not be in great financial shape today, working hard on your financial situation and having a lot of "upswing" can be attractive to women as well.
I'm well aware that some men are passionate about their career whether it pays well or not. If your job doesn't pay really well but you love what you do, being financially responsible is key.
Closing thoughts
I personally believe every guy should be trying to increase their bank accounts as there's really nothing negative about having a little extra cash :)

Regulation Impact Statement Updates
Official website for publishing regulatory impact analysis information for regulatory decisions announced by the Australian Government, COAG and COAG Councils.
Remaking of Sunsetting Instruments Without Amendments
Australian Securities and Investments Commission
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission remade, without significant amendment, the ASIC Class Order CO 03/1063, ASIC Class Order CO 11/926, and ASIC Credit (Financial Counselling Agencies) Instrument 2015/992.
ASIC CO 03/1063 exempted financial counselling agencies from the requirement to hold an Australian financial services licence when providing certain types of financial product advice as part of their financial counselling service subject to a range of conditions.
ASIC CO 11/926 provided that a rural financial counsellor does not need to hold an Australian credit licence (credit licence) to provide credit assistance in the context of a rural financial counselling service.
ASIC Credit (Financial Counselling Agencies) Instrument 2015/992 allowed financial counsellors to receive a service fee that is payable by the Commonwealth or a state or territory and still rely on the credit licence exemption in reg 20(5) of the National Consumer Credit Protection Regulations 2010.
In line with the Australian Government best practice regulation requirements for sunsetting legislative instruments, ASIC has assessed the operation of these instruments in consultation with affected stakeholders and has certified that the instruments are operating efficiently and effectively.
Therefore the Office of Best Practice Regulation notes that a Regulation Impact Statement is not required for the Regulations to be remade.
As the instruments were remade without significant amendments there are no compliance cost changes.

Simone's Notes:
Sex is a powerful weapon. It can be used to persuasive the opposite sex to do certain deeds they normally wouldn't do. Sex is used as a motivation as well. It can drive humans to their best or worst. It all depends on the situation at hand. Sex can also be used as a trap. Blackmail is often sex's first choice as a trap. The predator uses blackmail in order to trap its victim in bed with them. The escapade can go now until the predator gets bored with its prey or the prey finally gets strong and tells the truth to a higher power.
Edward had another thing coming if he thought he would finally get some rest from this oversexed day. It all started with the beginning birth of Red Light China. He slid open the Inn door to find Kenisuke Kamiya with a whole bottle of his own Bloody Mary. "Edward!" he exclaimed in joy. "Great that you are here! You're just in time!" The young alchemist stared at the vampire in complete confusion. "In time for what?" he asked. Kenisuke kept grinning at him in pride. "To celebrate, of course!" the vampire boomed out. "Celebrate what?" Ed asked. "Matt and Ralph got their licenses today!" Kenisuke said out loud. This really confused the young alchemist. "Licenses for what?" he asked. "To run an escort service and erotica entertain business!" the vampire announced. *Edward falls over to the ground* "It figures those two clowns would try to do something borderline illegal!" he said aloud. "Well come on," the vampire called out. "The others are waiting for us in the chow hall!" Kenisuke then grabbed Edward by the hand and dragged him into the dining hall.
Meanwhile, Colonel Mustang had problems of his own. He was walking back to Central Headquarters in distress. Colonel French was having a field day with his rejection from Nurse Ray. "Oh no! Not the great Colonel Mustang getting rejected by a woman!" she kept saying in a loud voice in cold sarcasm. "About time! You seemed to have lived in this fantasy world where all of the girls think you are an attractive god! Well, guess what? You aren't this attractive god. The little girls may love you, but the real women don't!" It took all of his self-control not to strangle the evil bitch to death. So many times he was tempted to do so. So many times, so many times! It bad enough to hear her voice mocking him constantly, he didn't need the on-looking sympathy from his men every time he walked by. If made Mustang wonder what keep of boyfriend that Nurse Ray had to make her turn him down. (Ha! If he had only known!) But soon, French's taunts would be a walk in the park compared to this next problem coming up.
"COLONEL!!!!" Mustang heard someone yell out. He slowly turned behind him. Two officers rushed towards him. "What is it?" the colonel asked them. The men had a woman between them. Roy could tell she was a wild woman. Her red hair was long loose and red. Her gold eyes looked filled with every liquor known to man. Her sliver earrings moved wildly with her head as she fought with the men. The woman was dressed in tight revealing clothes. Her black halter top showed heavy duty cleavage and midriff. She clearly wasn't wearing a bra, because her big stripper boobs were flopping around like flags on a windy day as she struggled to get free from her captors. Her see-through flowery skirt only covered her crotch and ass. The woman's tight fish net stocking clung onto her strong womanly legs. Her black and gold stiletto heels gave her height. But that wasn't the complete turn-off for Mustang. The woman's make-up was slutty and messy with its strong massive bright colors. He resisted asking her, "Aren't you cold without any underwear on?"
"We found this hooker trying to do business with some of the guards at the gate." one of the men said. "Take your hands off of me, you jackass!" the woman snapped as struggled to get free. She stepped on the man's foot violently with her black and gold heel. "OW!!!!!" the soldier yelled in pain as he turned her loose. The other man held her as tightly as he could. The colonel could clearly tell she was one of those loud foul-mouthed drinking druggie type whores. "What man would want to sleep with her is beyond me!" Mustang thought in disgust. "You bitch!" his comrade hissed out loud. "Serves ya right for rough-handling a lady like me!" she barked in a sharp tone. "Bring her to my office." Mustang told the other man. "Yes sir!" the private said to his boss. "Let go of me, dumbass!!!" the hooker screamed out. She tried to fight him off but to no avail. Her captor kept grabbing onto her tightly. She kept using taunts and some nice four-letters words and insults to the men along the way. This was clearly the first time Mustang ever wanted to hit a woman in his life! "She makes French look like a saint!" he thought in bitter disgust.
Mustang wasn't the only one dealing with a whore. Shannon Parker was hungry yet again. Not for food, but for a man in her bed. Particularly, a certain young blonde alchemist. But how to do so in a way that he can't refuse her. The woman had used up most of her tricks on him. She had to come up with a new method to seduce Edward. "Check it out!" Ralph called out as he and Matt showed off their new escort and erotica dealer licenses. "Are those real?" Laurence asked his older brother. Ralph grinned at him proudly. "Of course they are!" he called out. "Why would we even go through the trouble and the paper work?" "Okay…" Laurence said uneasily. He just didn't want his brother to end up in jail again.
Ralph walked up to the podium. "Everyone!" he called out. All of the other Dark Moons looked up at him. The new pimp smiled as he held out his gold and crystal glass. "I purpose a toast!" Ralph called out. "To the birth of Red Light China!!!!" "Cheers!" the others called out as they raised their glasses. Then, everyone took a drink. Edward sat at the table looking miserable as he was lost in his thoughts. Stef Thomas lightly nudged him. "Come on, Ed! Smile!" he said aloud. The young alchemist turned to him, gave him a small smile, and dropped it again. Stef felt a little pity for the guy. "You want to talk about it?" he asked the young boy. Edward shook his head softly. "Okay," Stef said to him. "But, we will talk later!" Ed just nodded at him. Stef smiled at him and went back to his drink.
Shannon was watching Edward the whole time. She smiled at him as she took slow sips of her peach wine. Right then, she had the perfect plan to lure the young alchemist back into her bed. "Aw, don't worry Ed-kun!" the married mistress thought with a naughty grin. "Mama's here to take your pain away!" The woman took another sip of her wine. Edward Elric clearly wasn't going to get any sleep tonight.
The hooker sat angrily in Mustang's office. She sat like a wild whore would in a chair. Her seating caused her skirt ride up halfway to her lower cheeks. Mustang sat down in front of her. What was with this broad? Was she insane to solicit on a military base? "Miss," the colonel spoke up. The hooker turned to him. "What?" she snapped. Her voice was like stepping on a cat's tail to Roy. He tried his hardest to keep his temper under the flames. The policies don't allow prostitution on the base," Mustang went on. "But I have decided to let you off with a warning this time, miss…" "Tawny." the hooker said. "Tawny," the colonel repeated. "Just solicit away the base." Tawny just couldn't help but laugh at that warning. Roy raised his eyebrow at her. "I don't understand what you find funny at this simple request." he said. The hooker stopped laughing and looked up at the Flame Alchemist. "Do you really think I'm going to do that?" she asked him. "Everyone knows that soldiers are the best clients to my kind! They get pretty lonely during time away from their wives and families. So I see myself and others as the cure to the blueness they get!"
Every word she said angered Mustang. He had never had such smut before in his life. Even through that was the truth, she made it sound so dirty. "Bullshit!!!" he yelled out. "I don't believe such garbage about our men!" The hooker kept smiling at him. "Why?" she asked. "You know, I'm telling the truth, right? Or… are an innocent little virgin? Face it! It's a fact of life and I'm only answering the desperate need of every soldier here." That really pushed Mustang of the edge. She was definitely worse than Renee French. But at least French wasn't as crass as this tactless bitch. It took even more of Mustang's self control not to slap Tawny in the face. "I want you off of this base now!" he snapped. "And if anyone reports see you around here again, I'll have you in jail right away!" Tawny became angry as well. "Over my dead body, you will!!!" she barked. "And if you do, I'll take you down with me! I'm pretty sure the press would be interested in all of the kinky things your men get up on their down time. Orgies, bondage, gay experiences, and the whole lot! The top officials will have your head faster than you say 'court marshal!' Now, that wouldn't look good on your record, now would it?" Mustang stood there staring at the bold hooker. He was clearly too angry to even talk now. The colonel that she was speaking the truth. One little slip from this broad or any others like her, and the people would hate the military even more!
Tawny grinned at that long pause of stunned silence. "What's wrong, colonel?" she asked in a sneaky voice. "Cat gone your tongue because I told it like it was?" Words weren't what the colonel was feeling. All he felt was pure hate and violence towards this loud crass hooker. The whore lightly flipped back her wild red hair. "Well then," she said. "I'll take my leave for the night. Business is dead out here tonight anyway." Then she got up and walked to the door. But then, she turned to Mustang and said, "Good night, colonel!" Oh, how Roy wanted to run after her and beat the crap out of when the door slammed shut. "She's just like Colonel French!" he in annoyed disgust. "Only worse!" Mustang sat back down and sighed aloud. He now had two annoying women to deal with.
Edward finally escaped to the back court yard. The night was so fresh and clear. Finally, he could clear his head and think straight for once. Ha! If only it was that easy! Within the few seconds he had to himself, Ed heard a small rustle in the bushes. He quickly turned behind him. Right then, the young alchemist knew who it was. "Alright, Shannon!" he called out. "What do you want? I know it's you!" The married randy woman emerged from the shrubs and stood to her feet tall. Edward tried to fight the newly reopened desire for her yet again. He couldn't take his eyes off her tight strapless bright yellow and pink ribbon design dress, hot pink four-inch high heels, pedicure feet, and glossy make-up. "She's married, you numbskull!" Ed thought to himself. "This is the woman who led you astray the first time! Don't fall into her trap again!" He tried his best to look away from the married sex nymph. Shannon couldn't help but giggle at him. "I love the effect I have on him!" she thought lustfully.
"What do you want, Shannon?" Edward asked again. The married sex nymph stepped closer. "Isn't obvious?" she asked in a sexual tone. She knelt down a little bit to him. "I want you back in my bed with me." she whispered in a low voice. Edward felt himself giving hard just by feeling her hot better on his ear and cheek. The offer sounded to delicious to pass up. Here he was with a hot-looking older babe that wanted to do it with him right away. He wanted this so badly… No! Edward dragged himself back to reality. He quickly backed away from her. Shannon kept looking at him in an innocent and sexy way. "What's wrong?" asked in a matching tone. "Forget it, Shannon!" the young alchemist yelled out. "You are the reason why Winry and I almost broke up! You are not dragging me down that path again! Goodbye!" The married nymph tried to looked crushed by his rejection. Ed turned away. "That's not going to work on me this time!" he said aloud. Shannon tried to look as if she was pouting in disappointment that her little tactics were failing her on this go-around. The young alchemist began to walk away bravely. He had won the battle, or so he thought.
Shannon grinned to herself in satisfaction. "It's working! Now for the big guns!" she thought in wicked delight. "If you don't sleep with me, I'll tell your little girlfriend and your *other* little girlfriend what a man-whore you are!" she called out loud. Edward stopped dead in his tracks in fear. "B-But how could she know about Derdra, Shanghai Girl, and Moscow Girl? I didn't tell anybody about them at all!" he thought in nervous terror. The young alchemist turned to his mistress slowly. Shannon stood there smiling back at him. "So what do you say?" she asked. Edward walked back to her with his head hanging low in defeat. Shannon had her answer. "Excellent," she said in a seductive voice. "You've made the right decision." She turned back to the inn. "I'm going back to my room, shower, and put on something sexy." the sex nymph told him. "See you in ten minutes." Then, Shannon walked back into the inn. Edward stood there in uncomfortable silence. "What have I gotten myself into now?" he thought in defeat.
Within ten minutes, Edward found himself at the door of Shannon and Perry's room. He swallowed hard as he knocked on the door. "Coming!" Shannon called out sexually. Ed's heart raced even faster as his groin became even harder. This was so wrong, but yet, he wanted this so badly! The door slowly opened and there stood Shannon. She was dressed in a short and lacy black and pink teddy that was see-through. Ed felt his cheeks grow red as he saw that she didn't have any panties on underneath. Shannon kept smiling at him. "So glad you could make it." she said in a low husky voice. The young alchemist could barely speak. This was just like the first time he lost his virginity to her. Ed just couldn't take his eyes out of her. The mistress couldn't help but smile.
"Well," she said at last. "Shall we start?" Ed just couldn't talk. All he could do was nod. Shannon just smiled right at him. "That's good, my little pet." she replied. Then she knelt down and kissed him right on the lips. Edward felt his body get lighter with passion. Instantly, wanted to actually screw his former mistress again, just for old time sake. His mistress quickly dragged her boy toy inside, closed and locked the door behind him. The heated passion rose higher as they continued kissing. Shannon let herself fall back onto the bed, taking Edward with her. She reached pulled off his jacket. The young alchemist didn't even bother resisting. Once she got that free into her small hands, Shannon flung the jacket to the floor and worked on Edward's shirt. The young alchemist tried to restrain himself in order to spare the moment. But it was so hard… "He hands are so soft!" he thought in excitement. Shannon slowly worked her way down to his pants. The touch of her fingertips down his chest and stomach gave him happy chills up and down his spine. The young alchemist began to wonder how much more of this teasing could he take. The mistress slowly undid his pants and slid them down in the same way. The trapped heat within her boy toy's body shot up even higher. He quickly grabbed onto Shannon's gown and quickly slid it off. Edward got lost into deeper desire just by looking at her naked curvy body. He was dying to thrust himself into over and over again. The suspense was killing him.
Shannon grinned devilishly at him. "Watching him suffer is so much fun!" she thought lustfully. Then the mistress grabbed a hold of Edward's boxers and quickly yanked them off. Shannon then slowly spread her legs for him. Ed couldn't help but grin at himself. He was getting ready to enter the garden when his mistress stopped him. The young alchemist looked at her wondering why. "Tsk. Tsk." Shannon said. Then she reached to the nightstand next to her. She opened the drawer and stuck her hand inside. Edward watched as she drew out a condom. "Don't want anymore children." Shannon said. The young alchemist nodded as he took the small shield, opened it, and put it on. "Now, you can enter." her eyes seemed to say. Ed grinned and did so. He began thrusting into her wildly like a mad horse. Shannon held onto him and moaned aloud. That only pushed the boy toy to go even faster.
The passionate ride lasted for twenty whole minutes with him coming wildly in latex shield and collapsing onto his mistress. Shannon lied still panting. She looked deeply into her boy toy's eyes. "Aren't you glad I talked you into this?" she asked aloud. Edward looked away in mixed shame and gladness. The mistress kept grinning to herself. "I love it when I win!" she thought.

20150509 10 Corryong O/N Ride
On Saturday, I led Doug and Steve to Mt Ainslie for a 7.00am rendezvous to join Darin and others on an overnight ride to Corryong and back commencing at 7.30am. Darin rolled up on his DR650 around 7.10am (making a total of 4 DRs) followed by Tom BMW650GS, Andrew KTM640 and Ian KTM990. Darin then had a call from Ed who advised that enroute he had hit a Roo and due to damage to himself and his bike would not be joining this ride. So, we had a compliment of 7 riders.
The Horizon looks inviting
Darin led us west via Coppins X, Urriarra X, Mountain Creek, Sawyers Gully and Wee Jasper to Wee Jasper. We continued west on WJR before turning south on Roberts, and SW on Cotterills and taking Brindabella briefly west to McDonnells which we took south. The latter sections were damp and slippery in places and we were riding into some misty rain squalls. We turned west again onto Argalong and rode it to Tumut for a break. Tumut was teeming with traffic on the main street. I took the opportunity to don my torso rain jacket which proved fortuitous.
Darin then led us south on SMH and took us SW on Blowering Dam Access Rd to Main Range Trail which was a hoot. At one uphill I tried to stand and was being hindered by my backpack waist strap which I had failed to fasten and had got tangled in my Moose rack. I paused mid hill and managed to disentangle it as Steve (Sweep) pulled up alongside and I proceeded to drop the bike. Steve quickly urged me to kill the engine which I did. After righting the bike and fastening the waist strap I proceeded uphill without further bother.
We ultimately joined Snubba/Yellowin Maragle Powerline, after having some fun in the red clay of a pine plantation having to render some assistance to Ian and Tom as their gearing was high for the snotty stuff. We were also on some very slippery trails where Doug?s borrowed GPS came adrift of its yellow sticky tape. In the process of turning back and collecting it he slipped and fell in the red clay.
By the time we got to Elliott we were all wet to some degree and the rain was getting quite heavy so it was agreed to slab it on Elliott and Tooma into Tumbarumba for a break and a pie. Meanwhile Doug had gone off to rinse off the red clay and buy some cotton glove liners to combat the cold.
Our next destination was the Jingellic Hotel for a drink via the tar. The rain had abated but we were now getting the wind chills from the speed on the tar. Whilst having a drink we let our wettest gear drip dry.
Darin was going solo to see if he could get some farmers access permissions and rejoin us at Corryong. So, Steve took the lead with Andrew now sweeping. We took River Rd which was fantastic as we had good visibility and hardly any traffic. We then slabbed in on Tintaldra Rd and Murray River Rd into Corryong. We refuelled before heading to Corryong Courthouse Hotel and arranging our digs before hitting the bar for drinks and dinner.
Sunday morning dawned and we were all ready for provision of our breakfast (and cut lunches) some of us still in our damp gear.
Dougs battery was virtually flat so with Steve aboard we gave him a push start which worked and after a short while we were on our way. Darin led us NE thru Towong and across the Murray. It was then north on Tooma thru Greg Greg and east on Welumba Creek Rd and thru a gate onto Greg Greg FT and it started to rain.
After roughly 2.5kms Doug ran into trouble with his chain coming loose and after some investigation it was found that his cush bearings were on their way out. Darren and Tom returned to us as Doug had just completed tightening the rear wheel tensioners. It was then decided that Doug gently head back towards some form of shelter with Steve as escort while Darin continued to lead the rest of us with Andrew as sweep.
The rain was getting worse and I for one could hardly see thru the visor and moisture inside and out. After a few wobbles in the greasy conditions we regrouped briefly at Swampy Plains Creek Rd before heading towards Cabramurra. It was around Jagumba (Loc) that we were riding in an inch of gelid slush with sleet and snow dropping visibility to 15m. I was in second spot as I passed Bradley/O?Briens Hut and saw Darins tracks going straight on by. Had I wavered I probably would have contemplated staying there.
I finally caught up to Darin stopped and warming his hands with the exhaust gases at the Tumut Pond Res wall. Tom was next and we waited for Ian and Andrew. We were getting concerned so rode back a short distance and encountered them approaching.
So it was then off to Cabramurra for a coffee under cover. We alighted there and I was sad that there was no undercover parking and about the only dry spot on my bike was a bit of saddle. Andrew was keen to push on and get down low pronto. So being of similar mind, we bid our byes and headed off for Kiandra.
Andrew was leading and I was taking full advantage of his rear light so I could follow his lines. Otherwise, I was in a mess with minimal vision and resorting to a semi open visor just to discern the snow plough poles. By the time we reached SMH I was really cold and was glad to see two semi trailers and two 4WDs sweep by on the way to Cooma. We peeled out behind them and followed them at a steady pace avoiding un-necessary wind chill. Around Providence Portal the rain abated and we even had some intermittent rays of sun which certainly lifted my spirits.
We pulled in at Adaminaby for a brief stop and I alerted the family to Dougs plight while Andrew donned some dry gear. Whilst doing so we saw Steve ride by on a mission to Numerella to fetch his BT50 and return to rescue Doug (somewhere).
Andrew then led me to Cooma at a swift pace and pausing only to check how I was we pushed on towards Canberra.
The wind was ghastly and was buffeting me sideways on the road. Around Royalla we were baulked by some slow traffic and the rain clouds loomed. Andrew went his way at the Calwell roundabout and I sped for home arriving just before the first squalls hit.
I called the family and advised of my safe arrival and my need for a hot bath. I could not feel the hot water and had to cool it to avoid scalding myself. My 1.9m frame does not fit into 1.75m bath so it took some to get my gelid limbs warmed up, as the bath went tepid in no time.
In any case it was a cool adventure making some new friends (Darin, Ian and Tom) with some new (to me) tracks that suited my skill set. Thanks Darin!

names, competing visions of
tempo and rhythm.
For an album of ambient soundscapes, Endless City/Concrete Garden by the pair of Roger Eno and Plumbline (aka Will Thomas) is rife with tension. To this ear it's as though Eno's piano is one's public face - serene, flowing, clear - with Plumbline's percussive, pulsing effects a muted cacophony of nearly suppressed inner thoughts. (At least that's how I imagine them splitting the duties.)
For a view less psychological, the effect is like a precision timepiece with sweep second hand while beneath the face, tiny machinations give time its pulse.
The overall effect is one of fine balance, of depth, and a slightly maddening mystery as the two halves compete for dominance.
Try a taste for yourself with Pulling Strings.

I received no compensation of any kind for this review.

GREENHAM COMMON, United Kingdom -- Her Royal Highness, Princess Anne, The Princess Royal officially dedicated three memorial stones for U.S. Visiting Forces at the Greenham Business Park in Greenham Common, United Kingdom, Sept. 21.
The three-part memorial is in remembrance of 16 service members killed when two B-17 Flying Fortresses collided above Greenham Common Dec. 15, 1944; 33 Airmen who died just three days earlier when their Horsa Glider crashed on takeoff at the base; and American servicemen who were based locally and lost their lives during World War II.
"We are here to remember the 49 Airmen who gave their lives in 1944 and also all who served in the area," said Col. Brian Kelly, 501st Combat Support Wing commander, whose wing can trace its history back to the 501st Tactical Missile Wing stationed at RAF Greenham Common from 1982 to 1991. "We can look back at the sacrifice and struggles that united our two great nations. For the last 70 years our nations have stood shoulder-to-shoulder protecting the world and our relationship is stronger than ever, as these memorials show."
Greenham Common was one of the main staging points for thousands of U.S. troops in the run-up to D-Day, and continued to be a U.S. Air Force Base until it was closed in 1992 and has been converted into a nature reserve and business park.
The first part of the memorial - The B17 Flying Fortress crash
The two B-17s, one from the 368th Bombardment Squadron and one from the 423rd Bombardment Squadron of the 306th Bombing Group, were returning from a mission in the German industrial heartland of Kassel when the accident occurred.
The aircrews of the 306th BG, known as the Reich Wreckers, were some of the most experienced in the U.S. Air Force, but fog enveloped northern Europe - the targets in Kassel were so obscured the bombs had to be dropped by radar. The weather worsened on their return to England and the two bombers, leading the formation back to their U.S. Eighth Air Force base at RAF Thurleigh, were diverted to RAF Greenham Common. At about 2,100 feet, the 368th BS B-17G, piloted by 2nd Lt. Charles Crooks, collided with the 423rd BS B-17G, piloted by 2nd Lt. Lorn Wilke.
Both planes crashed near Greenham Common, killing all but two of the 18 crewmen. Wilke remembered hearing a loud noise, followed by an explosion. His plane blew apart at the cockpit and he and his co-pilot, 1st Lt. John Murphy, were able to bail out, deploy their parachutes and escape. Crooks and the entire crew of the 368th BS plane were killed. Because of the bad weather, the collision was unobserved by other flyers in the formation.
Both Flying Fortresses ended up roughly two miles apart from each other - B-17 tail number 43-37633 (368th BS plane) near Bishops Green and B-17 tail number 43-38019 (423rd BS plane) near the Swan Roundabout, Newtown, to the west.
According to the USAAF accident report, dated January 1945: "The accident was unavoidable. The formation ran into conditions of extreme poor visibility and it is apparent that neither pilot saw the other aircraft."
The second part of the memorial - the Horsa Glider crash
On Dec. 12, 1944, 31 paratroopers from the 17th Airborne Division, (mostly from C Company, 194th Glider Infantry Regiment) and two glider pilots of the 88th Troop Carrier Squadron gathered at RAF Greenham Common for Horsa Glider flight training.
The Horsa was constructed almost entirely of molded plywood and was bolted together in sections. The British had solved the problem of fast unloading by fixing a plastic charge on the rear section. Upon landing, the rear end blew off and easy egress was attained. The live charge while the glider was in flight was certainly not a comforting thought for the troops inside.
Walt Wrzeszczynski, a medic with 194th GIR Company who was waiting on the flightline for the next available Horsa, witnessed the accident as it took place in the sky.
"Everything looked fine," he said. "The glider was flying along smoothly when all of a sudden the tail section just came off. There was no explosion; it just fell off."
"The glider (what was left of it) swayed and flopped around at the end of the tow line and sank lower and lower," he said, shaking his head sadly. "It seemed to be pulling the tow plane down. Suddenly, it either cut loose or was cut loose and then it went almost straight down. It was all over in just a few seconds."
The third part of the memorial - for all the American servicemen who were based locally and lost their lives during World War II
Greenham Common and the immediate area played a prominent role in the preparations and launch of D-Day in 1944. The third part of the memorial honors the men who served at RAF Greenham Common or stationed in the surrounding area who gave their lives in the name of freedom.
In October 1943, the United States Army Air Force took control of RAF Greenham Common as the preparations intensified for D-Day. Meanwhile, paratroopers from Easy Company 506th Parachute Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, "The Screaming Eagles," whose heroism is commemorated in the book and television series Band of Brothers, were in the nearby villages of Aldbourne and Ramsbury.
Winston Churchill visited nearby RAF Welford on March 23, 1944, to inspect the troops and meet Brig. Gen. Don Pratt of the 101st Airborne Division. By early June 1944, forces were at a high state of readiness. Greenham's role changed dramatically to accommodate troop transport aircraft Douglas C-47 Dakotas of the 438th Troop Carrier Group and RAF Greenham Common was earmarked as an assembly point for Waco CG-4A Assault Gliders and the British-made Horsa Gliders.
On the night of June 5, 1944, the base was ringed with armed troops. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower arrived to watch the first troops leave by Dakota bound for the shores of Normandy on Operation Overlord and told the Soldiers, the "eyes of the world are on you." More than 80 Dakotas carrying 1,430 men from the 502nd Parachute Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, left the base in 11-second intervals. Aircraft also towed Horsa and Hadrian gliders to the front in France and later carried the wounded back for treatment in Britain.
GREENHAM COMMON, United Kingdom -- Her Royal Highness, Princess Anne, The Princess Royal officially dedicated three memorial stones for U.S. Visiting Forces at the Greenham Business Park in Greenham Common, United Kingdom, Sept. 21.

A few lines to convey that strange lullaby that soothes the motorcycle rider as he or she accelerates down the road; towards their final destination
Two wheels for me when the work is done,
past intersections filled with anxious eyes.
To some unknown destination run;
– wind song for me it buys
Under stoplights, wires and signs
by stores and restaurants galore.
Track housing and an airport fine,
– wind song, please pass me more!
Glide by the bones of bored fatigue
and sleep; but not so keenly felt.
As miles beneath my feet speed on
– and wind song I am dealt.
Alas the destination view
and even time stands still,
His work has made it all brand new
– the wind song and the thrill

Ring Poem - A Translation into Noldor Sindarin
For the earlier Sindarin adaptations of this poem see Vinyar Tengwar #13, September 1990, p.p. 13-14, A Survey of Ring Poem Translations: one by Bill Welden and Chris Gilson (1977), another by Richard Trubshaw (1982). I want to thank Didier Willis for his help.
Tennath i Dúr-Gyrf
Neledh Gorvath 'nin Ellerain no i menel,
Odo'ni Nauhírath ne rynd gonui în,
Neder'ni Fîr Fírib beraid fíred,
Êr am Morchír ned morn-orchamm dîn
Ne Dor e-Mordor ias i-Ndúath caedar.
Er-chorf hain torthad bain, Er-chorf hain hired,
Er-chorf hain toged bain a din fuin hain nuded
Ne Dor e-Mordor ias i-Ndúath caedar.
'Verses'. Cf. ann-thennath (I 190) that means probably 'long-verses'.
S *dúr is lenited túr 'mastery, *power' (LR 395).
S *gyrf is mutated pl. cyrf of S sg *corf (Q corma, e.g. Cormarë 'Ringday' III 358). I have reconstructed S *corf from hypothetical CE
*kormá < KOR- 'round' (cf. N or S parf, Q parma < CE *parmá < PAR- 'compose, put together'). We can derive development: CE *kormá >
OS *córmh > S *corf.
Line 1
'three' (LR 376, S 412). It is derived from NÉL-ED- 'three'. I prefer here the form neledh to late nêl (VT#42, p. 25), because in my opinion
the language of Ring Poem should be more archaic.
'rings'. It is lenited coll. pl. Corvath with coll. pl. marker -ath (R 66, 65, L 427). For sg *corf see above.
'to the, for' (III 204, L 308). It is supposed to be an elision of S an in 'to the' (cf. aglar'ni Pheriannath < *aglar an in Pheriannath).
'Elven-kings'. I have composed this compound name of Ell- 'elven, elf' (WJ 367) + erain (pl. of aran) 'kings' (S 405).
no i
'under the' (LR 378). Preposition no 'under' < NÚ- (LR 378).
'sky, firmament, high heavens, region of the stars'. I use this Quenya word (< Q men + el 'star-region') because the poem is written in
Quenyarized Sindarin of Imladris and Eregion (R 64) like aerlinn entitled A Elbereth Gilthoniel (I 250).
Line 2
'Seven [Rings] for the'. S odo, odog (S 414, LR 379) < OT- [OTOS, OTOK 'seven'). I have chosen odo because of elision. For 'ni see above.
'Dwarf-lords'. It is a compound name: *Naug-hírath > *Nauh-hírath. I have derived it from S naug 'dwarf' < *nauká < NUKU- 'dwarf,
stunted, not reaching full growth or achievement' (S 412, LR 374, WJ 388) and coll. pl. of S hîr 'lord, master' < *khér, kherú < KHER- 'rule,
govern, possess' (L 282, 382, S 409, LR 364, LB 354, SD 129). For -ath see Chorfath.
'in'. Cf. SD 135 where we have ned Echuir *'in Spring'. I my opinion ned loses -d before a consonant.
rynd gonui
'halls of stone'. First I wanted to translate it as ethrynd gonui 'underground strongholds of stone' (cf. S othrond 'underground stronghold'
(WJ 414) but finally I chose more literate rond 'hall', pl. *rynd (LR 379, WJ 414). Adj. *gonui 'of stone' < gonn 'stone, stony' (e.g. S 408,
WJ 201) + -ui 'adj. suffix' (R 66) like in the name Argonui (III 282).
'*their own'. S în means probably 'his own' in King's Letter (SD 129) and is used to refer to the subject of the sentence. In Polish there are
two pronouns in the same functions: jego 'his' and swój '[my, your, his, our, your, their] own' and I follow this trace in this text, în
translating as 'swój' and dîn 'jego' (see below).
Line 3
'Nine [Rings] for the'. S *neder 'nine', N neder < NÉTER- 'nine' (LR 376). For 'ni see above.
Fîr Fírib
'Mortal Men'. S Fîr is pl. of Feir adapted in Beleriand from Q Firya 'Mortal' (as a noun). Adj. fírib is pl. of S fíreb 'mortal' (as an adjective). I
have tried to alliterate it as in English Mortal Men.
'doomed'; cf. barad 'doomed' < MBARAT- (LR 372). Form *beraid is a possible plural of barad, cf. homophone barad (pl. beraid) 'tower'.
'to die'. It is a gerund/infinitive of of the S reconstructed verb 'to die, to fade': fír- (cf. gerund firith 'fading' as in tír- 'watch over, see' (e.g.
SD 129) and gerund tirith in Minas Tirith 'Tower of Watching').
Line 4
Êr am
As an equivalent of English 'One [Ring] for the' I prefer here S êr 'one, alone, isolated' (ER- 'one, first of a series') - cf. S 408, LR 356, VT42
24. - to mîn 'one' as a numeral (< MIN- 'stand alone') - cf. LR 373 because it implies a special position of One Ring.
'Dark Lord'. For S mor- see morn-orchamm below. S -chîr is a spirant mutated hîr 'lord' (cf. morchaint < mor- + caint in S 409). For hîr see
Nauhírath above.
'on the'. See ne above.
'dark throne'. There might have been here an elision: *morn-orchamm > *morchamm, but I have chosen a more archaic compound. S
morn means 'dark' < *morná < MOR- (LR 373, WJ 362). The word *orchamm is a literate translation of Greek thrónos 'elevated seat'. It is
a compound of my invention: or-hamm 'elevated seat'; cf. N or prep. 'above', prefix or- 'above' < ORO- 'up, rise; high, etc' (LR 379); S
*hamm 'seat' < *khammá 'seat' < KHAM- 'sit' (LR 363).
'his'. It is a third person singular possessive pronoun referring to the object of the sentence (SD 129, VT #31, p. 21) as in: bess dîn 'his
wife' in the King's Letter.
Lines 5 & 8
'In the'. See ne, ned above.
Dor e-Mordor
'Land of Mordor'. S dor 'land' < *ndoré 'the hard, dry land as opposed to water or bog' < NDOR- 'dwell, stay, abide' (LR 376). Genitive
article e(n) as in Taur e-Ndaedelos (UT 281). Place-name Mordor means 'Dark Land'; cf. morn above.
'where'. I have reconstructed this word on the basis of S ennas 'there', which according to C. F. Hostetter seems to be a development
from a primitive locative demonstrative pronoun seen in CE *entassé = *entá 'that place (over here)' + locative ending *-ssé 'in'. Thus
ennas is literally 'in that place (over there)' (VT #31, p. 26). If so, Q *yassë 'in which, *where' (I 357) < *CE jassé < *JA- 'there, over
there' would become S *ias. The same conclusion in B. Welden's and Ch. Gilson's Ring Poem presented in VT #13, p. 13.
'the Shadows'. S *Ndúath is a nasal mutation of Dúath 'Shadows' affected by an article in. Dúath is plural of dú being in LotR a Gondorian
synonym of Sauron's 'Shadow' (III 402) - cf. Ephel Dúath translated as 'Mountains of Shadow'. I think duáth (< DO3-, DÓ- in LR 354) best
fits the meaning of 'Shadow' in the Ring Poem.
'[they] lie'. Third person pl. present tense form of the hypothetical Sindarin verb *caeda-. I have reconstructed it from CE *kay-ta- < KAY-
'lie down' (LR 363) seen in Q caita- 'lie'; cf. ar sindanóriello mornië caita 'and grey-country-from darkness lies' (R 59). Plural pronominal
marker -r from Dor Firn-i-Guinar 'Land of the Dead that Live' (S 367).
Line 6
'One Ring'. Cf. ereb and corf above. S *chorf is mutated (spirant mutation) *corf 'ring' (see above) as in Beren Erchamion where erchamion
'one-handed' is derived from er- (cf. ereb) and camion (< S cam 'hand' < CE kambá < KAB- in LR 361).
'them' like in the Moria Gate Inscription (I 319, 321-2) written by the same Elves from Eregion that composed the original Ring Poem (here
reconstructed). S hain is probably mutated from orig. *sain.
'to rule'. Cf. N inf. tortho 'to wield, control, *rule' (LR 395) and gerundial / infinitive ending -ad as in tírad 'to see, *to watch' (SD 129)
compared with N tirio 'to watch, *to see' (LR 395).
'all' (SD 129). Lenited form of *pain 'all' (SD 129), adviced to me by Didier Willis. Difficult to analyze - see VT #31, p. 32.
'to find'. Cf. Q hir- in hiruvalyë 'thou shalt find' (R 59). H. Fauskanger in his The Bakken Fragment (TyTy #4, p. 18) writes: Both words for
"find" (hir-, tuv-) occur in the text [by H.F.]; the semantic distinction between them is apparently that hir- means "to find something by
searching for it" while the other means "to suddenly find something you don't look for" (e.g. Yé! Utúvienyes!). The possible equivalent of
Q hir- in Sindarin is *hir-, infinitive hired.
Line 7
'to bring'. Cf. N tegi 'to lead, bring' < TUK- 'draw, bring' (LR 395). For a gerund / infinitive ending -ed see torthad, hired.
'and'. Cf. pedo mellon a mínno 'say friend and enter' (I 319), etc.; and the base AR2- (LR 349).
'beneath'. Cf. II 339 where: sí di'nguruthos 'here beneath-death-horror' (R 64). I prefer 'beneath' - or S din to 'in' - or S be(n) in case you
refer in Sindarin to the sense of English: 'in the darkness'.
'darkness'. Cf. fuin 'gloom, darkness' (< PHUY-) (S 408, LR 382).
hain nuded
'to bind them'. There is possible an elision: *hain nudad > *hai'nudad. A gerund / infinitive *nuded is derived from N nud- 'bind' < NUT-
'tie, bind' (LR 378).

Whew! The news is full of information, images and feelings these days. Some is helpful and useful. It's good to learn about the penumbral eclipse (it sounds exciting for sure) or see a glimpse of the latest fashions. Some is not helpful. In fact, it may simply be harmful. It increases our experience of stress, anxiety and depression. And it is everywhere because media is everywhere. Our phones, pads, computers, cars and t.v.'s all send the news our way, wherever we may be, at any given moment. All of this news is about what is happening in the world that we cannot see for ourselves.
Then there is the news that we can see for ourselves…kitchen table news. Our personal news. Events in our day. People we talked to and shared life with over lunch. Experiences we had in a day. New friends we met. Funny things we heard. Meals we cooked. Mistakes we made. Gifts we bought. Plans we made. Thoughts that challenged us. Lessons we learned. Books we read. Conversations. All of this news gives our lives meaning and purpose.
Then there is the news that Jesus Christ brings to our lives…spiritual news. Here are a few headlines:
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.
So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
We need all kinds of news in our lives since we live as the light of Christ in the world around us. But I wonder if we get too much about events we cannot see for ourselves and not enough kitchen table news or spiritual news. Which type of news is life giving and which type is life draining?
For our tent, we find joy around the kitchen table when we share our headlines and we feel peace in our souls when we remember the spiritual power of the Good News. The other news has a place, but it is not the focus.
What about your tent? How do you deal with news?
The angel said, "Don't be afraid! Look! I bring good news to you—wonderful, joyous news for all people. Your savior is born today in David's city. He is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11
From our Happy Tent to yours,

June 1, 1915 while fishing in the Celtic Sea the steam trawler Victoria was sighted by a German submarine. SMS U-34 surfaced near the trawler and fired a shot across her bows. The master, Steven Stevenson, rather than surrender his vessel chose to make a run for it, this was a fatal mistake. Kapitänleutnant Claus Rücker opened fire on the trawler hitting it ten times or more until the ship came to a stop. During the shelling four men and a boy were killed, including the master, one other man drowned before the four survivors were picked up by the U-boat. Victoria did not sink from the gunfire and had to be scuttled with charges the following morning.
The press reported the story as one of "German atrocity", "German murder" and any number of other accusations which would whip up the public into a frenzy, but the reality was far different. In fact it was not murder, but simply war. The rules of sea warfare stated that a submarine was within the law if it first attempted to stop an enemy vessel, but if the vessel refused to stop or attempted to escape the submarine could open fire (this applied only to merchant shipping) and this is exactly what Rücker did. It was in fact the decision of the master which brought on the attack.
Of course he can not be blamed for trying to outrun the submarine, history is replete with stories of masters who would not give up their vessels or went into battle with such terrific odds against them that to anyone who was not there seems like suicide. Such actions are usually rewarded with a Victoria Cross, the story of the Rawalpindi or Jervis Bay leap to mind, not to forget HMS Glowworm or HMS Ardent and HMS Acasta, but it must be remembered that there is a cost to such actions.
In the case of Victoria the difference between what the headlines were reporting and the true story were quite different. The four survivors were taken aboard U-34 and by all accounts treated well, one man who was injured was treated by the boat's doctor and the men were not harmed, they even learned the true identity of the U-boat, presumably from talking with the crew. The following day another trawler, Hirose, came into view and she was stopped, the crew abandoned and she was sent to the bottom, in this case there were no deaths. In fact Rücker had no previous record of causing unnecessary deaths on the ships he sank. Victoria was only the third ship sunk by Rücker, he went on to sink seventy-seven more before the war was over, the last one being sunk on Mar. 20, 1918. I have not had the time to look into the details of every sinking he was involved in so I have no way to know if his record of fair warfare continued until the end.
The crews of both trawlers were later recovered by the steamer Ballater and landed at Milford Haven. This was another tragedy of war, and another case of the press using a bad situation to drum up the fears of the public against the enemy, when in fact this was how wars were supposed to be fought. The never ending propaganda on both sides, in my opinion and the opinion of many others, caused a great deal of tragedy that probably did not have to be, but then this is the way it has always been.... and probably always will be.

As of right now, I am having my final table time with Gaz and Maz. When we started tabletime on Thursday this table was completely clean and clear of all clutter. And well...you can see how it has ended, and it's even worse now than when I took this photo.
A weekend filled with good food, great shopping, talk therapy, and writing therapy does a person good. The weekend ended with a great devotional at our good friend Holly's home and this quote is the most impactful one I have read in a long time:
"God has given man a heart and a heart must have some attachment. We have proved that nothing is completely worthy of our heart's devotion save reality, for all else is destined to perish. Therefore the heart is never at rest and never finds real joy and happiness until it attaches itself to the eternal."
Attaching myself to the real reality is difficult, as it is not tangable nor is it very present in my life right now. I need to find it again. But where do I start?
To my girls: Thank you for a wonderful weekend. There is nothing more sad than the thought of leaving your ever-presence tomorrow morning. I have purchased more things since the last time we purchased things together. I have had eaten more food that I actually like this weekend than the last time we were eating our way from the East over to the West side of Nashville. I have slept less hours than I would ever normally not sleep in a weekend. I have laughed harder than I have since the last time we laughed hard. I have enjoyed my days with you more than I enjoy any other days in my life. All my love, Jaz

Artist's Statement
"My photographs question the illusion of purpose and function. What was the function of these spaces? What will that function be in the future? Will the spaces ever find a function, or will they continue to decline and ultimately face demolition? I hope that the questions raised through the photographs contribute the conversation about purpose and function and our perceptions of the past, present, and future conditions."
Steve Nelson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at Hope College where he has taught photography since 1989. He received a Bachelor of Fine Art Degree in Photography from Western Michigan University before Syracuse University where he earned a Master of Fine Arts in Art Media Studies. His photographs have been exhibited widely, including solo and group exhibitions in Chicago and Grand Rapids Michigan. His 2013 exhibition in the De Pree Art Center gallery at Hope College "The Gardens of Post-Industry" featured a suite of large format photographs of several of Michigan's abandoned industrial sites that are being reclaimed by natural forces.
After Operations and Exposure Pathways were developed as part of an interdisciplinary research project, Surrounding Industry, supported by a grant from the Great Lakes Colleges Association through its Expanding Collaborative Initiative.

Name: kyle Silverborn or Kai to his friends
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Allegiance to House:
House Stark. Winter is Coming.
Role to House:
Kai is a proud, and light heart man, he declines no chellenge nor shys away from any situation demanding bravery. He is well sspoke and is an absolute hit with ladies, he is use to getting what he wants, he is as skillfull with his words as he is with a sword or his fists. His only loyality is to his heart and to his friends. He bows before a lord simply because he likes his head on his shoulders. He is more intelligent than he lets on as if people knew he knows more than them they wouldnt see hium the same. Kai has a tendency to jest and mock at times where it may not be most approperiate, but he simply shrugs and says whars in the past is in the past. He is easy going even though he has seen his fair share of hardships.
Physical Description:
6'1", silver hair, ice blue eyes, 80 kg of muscled up body, slightly over athletic body type. tends to dress in dark colors.
Powers and Abilities:
skilled with sword axe and bow. Skilled in court behaviour and with words
Strengths and Weaknesses:
He follows his heart without thought or question in times this is a true strength but most of the time it just lands him in trouble, he mocks and jests as a natrural reaction this usually gets him in trouble but every now and again itll help him talk his way out of a messy situation. His strengths lay in the physical and not inth magical. He has no magic abilities that he is aware of.
Weapons and Armour of Choice:
he prefers light swords and weapons over the heavy, he uses a sword of the bravos a very rare sword for a northerner, he wears light armor if any at all. he prefers to be faster than to require armor because he is to slow to move outta the way.
Background History:
in Kyle Silverborns short 22 years on this planet, he has seen far too much brutality. as far back as he can remember his father has been an abusive alcoholic and as Kai was an only child and a bit of a trouble maker he end up with more then a few slaps, he would often heard his ribs break under his fathers onslaughts, Kai was just thankful his mother died giving birth, because he knew he wouldve killed his Dad rather than see her hurt. Kai eventually ran away and join up in a bandit group where he learned how to fight properly, they were bandits but they had an honorable code. they would only steal from the rich and wouldnt dare touch the poor, they wouldnt kill unnecessarily Kai assumed this was why they were around for so long but eventually justice had to fall. His group spilt up late one when the men of House Stark came to deliever the Kings Justice. Kai being only 18 ran fast and hard leaving everything hard. He didnt stop til he found good shelter over 3 miles away. he slept rough and hard for a while stealing food from farms and thats when he went to winterfell. He began stealing in the markets and begging for money, soon enough he was caught by some of the Guard when he was about tpo steal, they told him he could join the Guard or next time he stole theyd cut off his hand. Obviously he chose to join the Gaurd where he still remains a low rank as he is trying not to be noticed.

A longtime homeowner of Santa Barbara, I have first-hand experience and knowledge of the local market trends, home values, and the nooks and crannies of each individual community – Not all agents can say that! I love real estate and I love this community – I work here, play here, and live here. I want to provide top-notch service to my fellow Santa Barbara-ites and working as a Realtor is a great way to do this. More than being a Realtor, I also give back to the area I love through volunteer work with Los Prietos Boys Camp and Santa Barbara Public Library Adult Literacy Program.
More than what is on paper, I have incredible tenacity. I am authentic, sincere, creative, supportive and extremely loyal to my clients. I am a relentless negotiator and I promise that I will work tirelessly to answer your questions and address your concerns throughout the process. A big part of my business is referrals and repeats for a reason – it is because I am a very good Realtor and once people get a taste of great service, they always will come back! But I also LOVE working with new clients, too, especially newbies moving to Santa Barbara, first-time home buyers as well as empty-nesters and families upsizing to bigger homes! I look forward to helping you with your next purchase or sale!

Hey guys!
~ Outfit Details ~
Forever 21 sweater (similar, similar)
Blanket scarf (Xmas gift, but similar options here and here)
JustFab Snow Boots *SOLD OUT* (similar styles here, here)
First of all, I apologize if some of the photos are not as clear as the rest. Those photos were taken using the manual setting, and most of the time they turn out really well, but for some reason the snow made my camera dopey and can't seemed to figure out the right ISO. #bloggerproblems
Anyway, I finally got the chance to do an outfit of the day post after the miserable snow storm that hit us. There are still tons of snow left, but most of it is starting to melt off. I felt justified for purchasing a pair of snow boots, even though I thought we weren't gonna get any snow this year. I've wanted to get a pair from Sorel, but they are pretty hefty on the price tag. So I did more research and saw these babies on JustFab and I knew I had to get them immediately. They look pretty similar as the Sorel snow boots, but with half the price, and they are really comfy too.
Thanks for stopping by!XOXO ❤

Cookbook Preview: 'Vegan Without Borders: Easy Everyday Meals From Around the World'
Andrews McMeel Publishing
Robin Robertson has spent many years exploring the world's cuisines, which led her to discover that virtually every culture enjoys a variety of traditional vegan dishes.
A longtime vegan and a former restaurant chef, Robertson (robinrobertson.com) has written more than 20 cookbooks, including the best-sellers "Quick-Fix Vegan," "Vegan Planet," "Fresh From the Vegan Slow Cooker" and "One-Dish Vegan." She has also written for VegNews Magazine, Vegetarian Times, Cooking Light and other magazines.
Her most recent cookbook, "Vegan Without Borders" ($40), is a collection of her go-to recipes and most cherished cuisines, including the slow-simmered vegetable stews of France, lightning-quick Asian stir fries, the simple roasted vegetables and pasta dishes of Italy, and flavorful dals of India.
The book features plant-based recipes but also recipes that, though not traditionally vegan, are easily made so simply by swapping in the right plant-based ingredients. The recipes include family-style comfort foods, global ethnic favorites and even some creative new dishes inspired by the classics.
Whether for economic or religious reasons (or both), many cultures have predominantly plant-based diets, where meat is either not eaten at all or eaten more as a condiment or flavoring rather than the main event.
Injera is a spongy crepe-like flatbread with a distinctive sour flavor that is an important part of Ethiopian meals, because it doubles as an eating utensil. It is served on a large platter, almost as an edible tablecloth, with portions of various stews and other dishes mounded on it. The injera is then torn off in pieces and used to scoop up the food to eat it. To make injera, you should begin a few days in advance, since the batter, made with teff flour, must ferment for at least one to three days.
Makes 4 injera
1 cup teff flour (see Note)
1/8 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 1/3 cups warm water (105 degrees)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Grapeseed oil or other neutral oil
Put the teff flour in the bottom of a mixing bowl. Add the yeast, then slowly stir in 1 cup of the water until smooth. Cover the bowl loosely and set aside at room temperature (around 70 degrees) for one to three days to allow it to ferment (longer is better).
By the third day the batter will have a "fermented" smell, and there should be small bubbles on the surface. Stir in the salt. The batter should be similar to thin pancake batter. If it's too thick, stir in as much of the remaining 1/3 cup of water as needed. Set aside.
Lightly oil a nonstick pan or cast-iron 10-inch skillet with grapeseed oil and heat over medium heat. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter in the center of the skillet, then tilt the skillet to coat evenly and spread the batter. Let the injera cook for about 1 minute, or until holes begin to form on the surface. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges pull away from the sides and the top surface is dry. Remove the injera from the pan and set aside for 3 to 5 minutes before serving. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Injera is best eaten on the same day it is made, but if you must store it, allow it to cool completely before stacking and then wrap tightly to keep soft until needed. It can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Note: Teff is a tiny, nutritious grain that contains no gluten. It is available both whole and ground into flour through various online sources.

Vegetable Tagine
Fragrant spices and dried fruits are key to this Moroccan stew traditionally made in a pot by the same name. Tagine pots are typically made of clay, often painted or glazed. It has a flat circular base and a large cone-shaped cover that is designed to circulate the condensation. A Dutch oven or other large covered pot may be used instead. Serve the tagine over couscous or rice accompanied by a small bowl of Harissa Sauce for those who like it spicy hot.
Makes 4 to 6 servings
1 tablespoon olive oil or cup water
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne
6 cups chopped kale (thick stems removed and discarded)
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups vegetable broth
1/3 cup dried apricots, halved or quartered
3 pitted dates, halved
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 cup pitted green olives, halved lengthwise
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro or parsley
Heat the oil or water in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, sweet potato, bell pepper and garlic. Cover and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, coriander, cumin, turmeric, paprika, salt and cayenne. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to bring out the flavors. Add the kale, chickpeas, tomatoes and their juice, and broth. Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
While the tagine is cooking, soak the apricots for 30 minutes in hot water. Drain, cut in half and add to the pot, along with the dates, peas, olives and lemon zest. Cook uncovered for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the lemon juice and cilantro, then taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed.
Per serving, based on 4: 446 calories (20 percent from fat), 11 grams total fat (1 gram saturated), no cholesterol, 80 grams carbohydrates, 20 grams protein, 1,490 milligrams sodium, 15 grams dietary fiber.

FREEPORT — Although the Greater Freeport Chamber of Commerce asked the Town Council for $36,000 to support the organization and help maintain an executive director position, councilors on Tuesday approved only half of that amount.
The council voted 6-1 to give the chamber $18,000 from the Desert Road Phase I Tax Increment Financing account, with the understanding that the organization could come back to the council during the regular budget season to discuss additional money.
Councilor Charlotte Bishop supported the $36,000 request.
"The chamber is a good outlet for the smaller businesses in town," she said.
Chamber President Ed Bonney told councilors that although the organization has 160 members, its goal is to have 225 by the end of the year, which would help make the organization more self-sufficient. In the meantime, the $36,000 would help pay for a full-time executive director. The chamber hired Debora King as the executive director for three months, but needs the funding to support her position moving forward.
"From day one the chamber had hoped to be independent, but I hope people understand that we were an uncapitalized corporation," Bonney said. "Without professional and experienced chamber staff, the organization would be difficult for a volunteer board to maintain and recruit members."
While he said the chamber would not "go away" without the funding, Bonney said it would be difficult to provide viable services to its members.
"The most immediate problem would be we wouldn't have an executive director," he said.
But councilors balked at giving the organization $36,000 without seeing a business plan or a three- to five-year projected budget. They were also wary of giving the money without knowing what the town's budget will be.
Councilor Joe Migliaccio said he is concerned about providing taxpayer money to an organization that only supports its members.
"I'm in support of (the chamber), but at what cost, at what expense to others," he said.
Chairman Jim Cassida, a business member of chamber and vice chairman of the chamber board, said the $18,000 is a compromise.
"This isn't ideal, but it gets you halfway," he said.
Members of the chamber, Freeport Economic Development Corp. and Freeport USA will meet with the council in a workshop on Tuesday, Jan. 11, at 7:30 a.m. in the library. They will answer council questions and discuss ways to collaborate services. The public is invited to attend.
