Interested in your thoughts and comments. I know that, at times, I speak a little too fast and garble my words. Still working on this long time problem with diction. Interested in your thoughts, particularly on the substance of my plans....
In the last council election, my campaign team and I developed a platform that I took to the community as commitments, if I were to be elected to council. I was so honoured and humbled to be elected and I feel strongly that the first big step in earning support again is to report back to Kamloopsians progress made on the commitments I made in 2011.
This is also meant as a conversation starter to ask for your thoughts on how I have done, on behalf of the community, on city council.
Had an amazing and informative time participating in the Kamloops Fire and Rescue Fire Ops 101 half day session last week. This event was also hosted by the Firefighters union, the International Association of Firefighters.
We rotated through activities - auto extrication, dark room obstacle course search, live fire, hazardous materials, confined space and rope rescue, and fire investigations.
I was a little worried when a pair of incredibly heavy duty cutters broke while I was helping take apart the scrap car pictured above. Our firefighter hosts assured me that the problem was relatively minor, the fix relatively easy, and that it was better the equipment failed in training than in real operation.
I joked about this while being interviewed in this CFJC-TV story and Kamloops This Week also reported the event.
Maybe I shouldn't have joked about the cutters breaking in the TV interview. I am little worried people might be a bit upset that I "broke" a piece of firefighting equipment. I certainly would be upset myself if I wasn't being careful and following instructions. I truly believe I was. It's one of the unavoidable perils of the job that you worry about public perception of events and happenings.
I think facebook might be a very bad thing for my blogging! I have some outstanding items to write about. I outlined these some time back. I still intend to cover all these before they get to being old news :).
It's Canada Day today. I hope you all had a wonderful time. I didn't want to get into detail on one issue but wanted to give you some short updates. I've made a little visual to go with the updates.
1. City sets election 2014 bylaw: City council approved polling stations at new locations - Sahali Mall and Mac Park Island Sports and Event Centre, and an advanced poll at TRU. Candidates will need 10 eligible voters to nominate them to get on the municipal ballot, up from 2 previously.
2. Fundraising campaign launched for John Todd community centre: The former John Todd elementary school is being renovated as a community centre. The Boys and Girls Club and the Kamloops YMCA are the anchor tenants. The North Shore Business Improvement Association, the United Way and other community partners have launched a community fundraising campaign to help with the renovation effort.
3. Interior Car Share Co-operative almost off the ground: For the past seven months, a group of citizens have been meeting every two weeks and are very close to launching a car sharing co-operative in Kamloops. A car share was one of the two top ideas mentioned by participants in the Kamloops Idea Festival I hosted last year. I've been honoured to help this group in its efforts. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.interiorcarshare.ca for more info.
4. Filipino Canada Barrio Fiesta dinner: We are so lucky in Kamloops to have a great number of vibrant cultural communities. And I felt very lucky to represent Mayor and Council at the recent Kamloops Filipino Canada association Barrio Fiesta. A great turnout, a wonderful program with entertainment and activities, and such welcoming people!
5. UBCM Meetings in July: This month, I will be attending the UBCM executive meetings in Vancouver. One thing I'd like to do is to ask if we can incorporate some more sessions on good public engagement practices at this year's convention.
6. Hosting delegation from Uji Japan: Today is the first full day of the 2014 Uji Japan sister city delegation to Kamloops. It's wonderful to meet local government officials and interesting citizens from Uji. I am learning a lot about different cultural and government practices. I am always looking for things I can incorporate into my own work as a councillor.
A member of 419 Squadron gets promoted to Captain at the Kamloops Overlander 886 Wing dinner.
Did you know Kamloops is one of only two Canadian cities (the other being Ottawa) to have a regular Air Force flyover on Rememberance Day?
Did you know that Kamloops is one of the only communities in Canada to have a formal relationship with a Air Force squadron that is not locally based?
Wing Commander John "Moose" Fulton was a beloved and legendary WWII flying ace who was tragically killed in action during the war. He was born and raised in from Kamloops and our airport, Fulton Field, is named in tribute to him. Wing Commander Fulton is also still honoured by his Air Force squadron, the 419 Squadron, a NATO training squadron based in Cold Lake, Alberta. Every Commanding Officer of 419 has taken on the nickname Moose for the duration of his tenure.
Members of the 419 Squadron visit Kamloops at least twice a year - once for Rememberance Day and once, around this time for a year, to participate in a dinner hosted by Kamloops' very own 886 Overlander Wing, an association of military veterans.
I consider myself very lucky to have attended many of these dinners since I've served on council. The group at the 886 Wing dinner has gotten smaller, as more Veterans pass away. Alec Sim, an incredible Kamloopsian and Honourary CO of the 419, reminded us this year that we should always remember the sacrifices veterans have made for our country. His grandfather and uncles served in WWI. Alex himself stormed the beaches at Normandy and served in Korea. Alex made special mention of the 419 squadron members who had joined us. He said they are serving their country so very well. Three of these young officers were given their promotions at the dinner, going from Flight Lts to Captains.
When I was in high school, I had some opportunity to explore the military as a career option. I chose not to look too far into it because I didn't like the idea of being front line in a military conflict or war. I'd like to be one of those who help prevent conflict or wars in the first place. Spending time with Veterans and active duty military folks, however, has given me huge respect for their commitment to step up when they are called, to risk and make the ultimate sacrifice. Unfortunately, there are times when efforts to avoid conflict or war fail. My own Grandfather, who I loved dearly, was in the infantry in the Indian Army and served in the Korean War.
I also know a lot of the folks flying for airlines today got their start in the Air Force, with its great training programs.
There is a wonderful, family like atmosphere at the dinners in which the 419 Squadron dinners participate in Kamloops. It's such a honour to be invited.
Union Leader Richard Boyce Speaking Out Against the Ajax Mine Proposal at Recent Forum.
If I'm invited to an event related to the Ajax Mine proposal, whether pro or con, I try to attend. Ajax remains a huge issue in Kamloops, three years after it first came to public attention. KGHM International, the company behind Ajax, will be submitting an application to the BC and Canadian Environmental Assessment offices in early 2015. I think all of of us on city council recognize a responsibility to learn as much about this issue as possible.
Most recently, in mid April, I attended Richard Boyce's presentation on why he has decided to oppose Ajax. Richard is the President of the Steelworkers Union that represents the workers at Highland Valley Copper. He has been in the mining industry for 40 years. I have a lot of respect for Richard and his work in the community.
During the presentation, Richard urged city councillors who have not yet taken a position on Ajax to "get off the fence". I believe he said something to the effect that he would have a lot more respect for councillors, even if they supported the proposal, because at least people would know where we stand. I hope I heard that correctly. He obviously hopes all of us on council would be opposed.
TRU Professor Derek Cook, in the question and answer period, more explicitly tied councillors not taking a position to the November civic election, in my view basically advocating people not vote for councillors who have not yet come out opposed. Derek, in the past, has invited me to speak to his students and I appreciated that opportunity.
I would be totally remiss not to also mention here the efforts of Councillor Donovan Cavers, who sits next to me on council, and often asks whether I've "gotten of the fence yet".
I've thought about whether I should take a position on Ajax now. I have indeed had three years to consider the proposal. I am 95% sure I will take a position.
Respectfully, I am still really reluctant to take a position pro or con Ajax at this time for a couple of reasons:
I appreciate all the advocacy on both sides of the Ajax debate. I hope we can keep it respectful and civil. I definitely want to make the case that city councillors who have not taken a side yet are doing so entirely in good faith, based on our own values and ways of working.
In early April, along with my colleagues on the UBCM Executive, I had the honour of working on behalf of communities across BC, to meet with provincial MLAs and Ministers on creating a stronger fiscal future for BC local governments.
The strong fiscal futures initiative has been unanimously endorsed by the UBCM convention and it's got some really interesting and important elements that you can read above through the link above.
I wanted to focus on something a bit different here. It was huge learning experience for me to go to Victoria and help with this effort. It was an amazing honour and I really didn't want to screw anything up.
Just before we arrived in Victoria, we received information about the MLAs we would be meeting with and which of our UBCM executives we would be working with at each MLA meeting. We were each given specific parts of the report to talk about in the meetings. It was really interesting to work with people I have never really worked with before. We all did pretty well although the transitions from parts to part, for me, felt sometimes (perhaps naturally) a bit clumsy.
Sometimes meetings were changed quickly due to unforseen circumstances and we all had to be quite nimble in responding.
All the MLAs I met with were interested and gave great guidance on how potentially we could secure provincial government support.
I was quite struck by how many rules the MLAs have to follow. They have to be in the legislative chamber to vote no later than 5 minute after bells start ringing throughout the building. They have to get leave from the whip to be excused from voting. I saw a cabinet minister running through the hallways before they locked the door to the chamber after the 5 minutes.
This was also a situation where the generally multipartisan nature of our local government world met with the generally partisan world of the provincial legislature. We have people on the UBCM executive with good links to all parties represented in the legislature and we met with MLAs from every party. When we met with MLAs, it was almost always in their party groupings.
It's a little intimidating to walk the halls of the legislature and realize the important work that gets done and the important work we hopefully were doing. I am not sure it would be good to become to comfortable with the opportunity. I hope I always a feel humbled if I get future opportunities to serve and participate in these efforts.

Boss reflects on a frantic transfer deadline day.
Roberto Martinez believes Marouane Fellaini's departure has enabled him to make Everton a stronger team.
The Belgium international departed Goodison minutes before the transfer deadline on Monday evening in a £27.5m deal with Manchester United.
His move followed a summer of widespread speculation over the midfielder's future - and was on the same day the Goodison chief acquired the services of James McCarthy for £13m from Wigan, Gareth Barry on loan from Manchester City and Romelu Lukaku on loan from Chelsea.
The trio of arrivals followed the early summer signings of Joel Robles, Antolin Alcaraz, Arouna Kone and Gerard Deulofeu.
With Fellaini and Victor Anichebe - sold to West Brom - the only major outgoings, the Blues boss is satisfied the transfer window has shut with Everton boasting a stronger squad of players.
He told evertontv: "I'm sure that every Evertonian will have good memories of Marouane and that's the way it should be. It has allowed us to improve the squad and make us a stronger team. It's all been done in the right way.
"It's important that we have closed the window and are stronger than what we were when it started. I know there has been a lot of talk in the press but when you have got performers and players there is going to be some interest (in our players)."
Leighton Baines is one of those players who has been the subject of speculation linking him with a move away from Goodison. But he remains an Everton player - and the manager is happy the window has now closed, bringing an end to the media attention.
He added: "From having interest to a situation where you have to consider a move is very, very different. Leighton is a very special footballer and a special player for Everton and we are looking forward to him enjoying the challenge that lies ahead.
"The window is over and there is a good opportunity to concentrate on football. That's the way it should be. There's been a lot of talk, a lot of speculation and now the reality is that we can concentrate on the games and we can concentrate on the future of Everton Football Club. That's the only thing that matters."
The manager has also paid tribute to Fellaini for his service to Everton during his five years on Merseyside.
He concluded: "Marouane has been a top and consistent performer for us and he leaves Everton with our best wishes. We wish him the very best of luck. It was always the case when a club would match his valuation, he would be allowed to do that. There were a lot of wrong stories and a lot of talk and the truth is that the valuation was matched. Marouane was allowed to move on in his career and we are all happy to wish him well."

Operation Safe Surf
Internet safety is rapidly becoming one of the toughest issues facing parents and schools today. As Pennsylvania's top law enforcement officer, the Attorney General has made it a top priority to guard children against sexual predators, creating the Child Predator Unit within the Office of Attorney General to investigate and capture online child predators before they strike.
As part of this effort, the Office of Attorney General kicked-off a new Internet safety program called "Operation Safe Surf," designed to help educate kids, parents and schools about the importance of being safe online.
Children are growing up in a digital age and spend a great deal of their time online - instant messaging, researching and shopping. And, while these are all great tools, they need to be used wisely. Children are being targeted by online predators at an alarming rate, so it is critical for us to help them learn how to protect themselves while still enjoying all of the benefits of the Internet. Recent statistics show:
Operation Safe Surf provides parents and schools with resources and tools to use as they address many of these issues with children. We have partnered with national leaders on Internet safety to provide the latest information on the topic.
Operation Safe Surf is divided into three learning groups: Elementary School; Middle & High School; and Parents/Community Groups.

SMASH 2012 Report!
(Me with Cee!)
Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table during SMASH- whether to buy, look or just to say hi! Although, it was actually mostly Pet who was manning my table, so if you remember a gorgeous hime-fringed girl, THAT WAS HER+*+*+
Even though I wasn't at my table much, throughout the time that I WAS there, I have to say that I am so glad to have SMASH as my last fan trading event. The crowd was just so friendly, and all the customers I met were all such lovely people. Thank you for making my last trading experience such a great one…!
Now, it's been a while since I've written a proper report, so please bear with me if it's a little less… coherent (not that they ever were—) so, for more pictures and the stories, read the rest under the cut!

Bernie Pleskoff has been a professional scout for the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners.
|At the young age of 23, left-handed pitcher David Holmberg is currently pitching for his third organization. The Chicago White Sox selected him in the second round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft. He was chosen directly from Port Charlotte (Fla.) High School. As a senior, he threw 132 strikeouts with a 0.22 ERA.
More»Lefty Holmberg could fill spot at back of rotation
|Jorge Soler handled his transition to the Cubs extremely well. He hit .271 with a homer and six doubles among his 23 fall hits. Playing a very solid right field, Soler played in 20 games and went to the plate 85 times.
More»Cubs propsect Soler is a five-tool player
|Rymer Liriano was at the San Diego Padres' Dominican Republic baseball academy when the facility opened in 2008. Now, after battling back from Tommy John surgery, he is the first player from the academy to make the Major League club. Liriano made his big league debut on Aug. 11.
More»A look at Liriano's track to the Majors in 2014
|Righty John Holdzkom was drafted in 2006, but his road to pitching for the Pirates was long and winding. Now, he dispatches hitters with ease. In fact, in Holdzkom's first five Major League innings pitched over five late-game appearances, he yielded one hit and struck out nine. He walked one. He's a force.
More»Pirates have potential future closer in Holdzkom
|The Mets are a club fortunate to have two young catchers with solid Major League tools. WithTravis d'Arnaud assuming the everyday catching role for the parent club, Kevin Plawecki is continuing his development in the Mets' pipeline as a promising offensive and defensive catcher.
More»Mets fans could see Kevin Plawecki in 2015
|Right-handed-hitting Phillies third-base prospect Maikel Franco has power to spare. Once he refines a few issues, Franco will be a very welcome source of power at Citizens Bank Park.
More»Franco gets a September callup from the Phillies
|Courtney Hawkins did it all in high school, pitching and hitting. But the White Sox turned their No. 5 prospect into a full-time outfielder, and the 20-year-old has the tools to become an above-average Major Leaguer.
More»Hawkins continues to develop in the Minors
|The Cincinnati Reds have a very versatile power pitcher currently in development in 6-foot-3, 195-pound right-hander Michael Lorenzen. He has flown through the Reds' Minor League system, and it appears he could be on a very fast track.
More»Michael Lorenzen continues to develop in the minors
|Due to his size, 6-foot-6, 205-pound Boston Red Sox left-hander Henry Owens may remind some people of a young Randy Johnson. Johnson was four inches taller and threw harder. But it would be understandable for people to see some Johnson in Owens.
More»Owens could boost Boston's rotation as early as 2015
|Big and strong at 6-foot-6, 245 pounds, Jimmy Nelson has a power fastball with great sink that induces swings and misses as well as ground balls. His physical presence can be intimidating, pitching downhill and hiding the ball well. At the age of 25, he is not likely to grow beyond his current frame. He takes an aggressive, no nonsense approach on the mound, using his size and stature as a weapon, an ally.
More»Nelson profiles as a mid-rotation starter
|Bernie Pleskoff runs down a report on Astros prospect Mike Foltynewicz, who has been helping the big league club in Houston. Pleskoff says his size and demeanor are that of an MLB pitcher.
More»Right-hander could land a spot in Astros' rotation
|Bernie Pleskoff breaks down Mets prospect Rafael Montero, who has already seen MLB action. Montero is a right-handed pitcher, and he could end up helping New York as a starter in its rotation.
More»Montero has followed fast track to Major Leagues
|Given J.R. Graham's sharp command and good control, and his experience in multiple pitching roles, the Braves have the luxury of being able to use his high-powered fastball and secondary pitches as a starter or reliever, depending upon the team's needs.
More»Pitcher Graham bouncing back from shoulder injury
|Left-handed-hitting outfielder Steven Moya, the No. 7 player on the Tigers' Top 20 Prospects list, is the type of player that can bring much needed power to any lineup.
More»Lefty hitter Moya has impressive set of tools
|Though quite short compared to most MLB pitchers, hard-throwing Brewers prospect David Goforth makes up for a lack of size with good mechanics. He has the physical skills and mental makeup necessary to be a big league closer.
More»Power reliever Goforth could be tabbed as a closer
|Looking ahead, Pirates right-hander Stolmy Pimentel's value should remain high as he's still learning the finer nuances of pitching. His youth, his strong frame and his power arm bode well for versatility from a pitcher who has the ability to pitch in relief or eventually join the rotation.
More»Stolmy Pimentel made his MLB debut in September 2013
|Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Scott Schebler, No. 9 on the Dodgers' Top 20 Prospects List, has plenty of power, though he needs to cut down on his strikeouts.
More»Scott Schebler is the Dodgers' ninth-ranked prospect
|As a low-risk former sixth-round Draft pick, Michael Taylor is poised to offer high reward to the Nationals. He projects as a fine Major League outfielder capable of breaking open a game with his bat or contributing with game-changing speed and above-average athletic ability.
More»Michael Taylor is the Nationals' no. 3 prospect
|In a bit less than two full months of big league play, the sweet-swinging, hard-working David Peralta has entered the conversation as a serious contender for National League Rookie of the Year honors. Why not? He's become an impact hitter.
More»Perserverance paying off for 26-year-old outfielder
|Jake Thompson projects as a middle-of-the-rotation starter. While he is making tremendous progress in his career, he is still only 20 years old. Working on consistently commanding his repertoire and refining his changeup, Thompson has more development ahead before he can be considered a finished pitcher ready to face Major League hitters.

Things I liked:It is very accurate. I was impressed. It is more accurate than my other co2 pistol. It has the feel of a real gun. I like this gun because I can practice load and reload the cylinder.
Things I would have changed:The stopper sometime hinders the shell to be slide out and I have to rotate the cylinder to get it out. The speed-loader is not real hit into the cylinder. The gun finish is very nice. I dont know if other people has the same problem but mine has some dust on the right side of the gun beneath the finish. Overall the gun is fantastic.
Things I liked:nice barrel, not too long or too short and the nickel finish is super high quality
Things I would have changed:wood grip
Things I liked:Heavy solid feel. Beautiful gun. Accurate for a BB gun. Very glad I purchased this gun to add to my collection.
Things I would have changed:White dots on rear sight, but no big deal.

The drum beats for war with Russia and China have risen to new heights this week as fraudulent news reports have spread like gossipy wildfire across all mainstream western press announcing boldly that the Syrian government of Bashar al Assad has massacred hundreds of civilians with chemical weapons. The "solution" being promoted involves military intervention to topple Assad and bomb Syria back to a state of peace.

How can the average person turn a hobby into a fully-operational manufacturing business?
Besides a good idea and lots of ambition, there are several other things people must have in their toolkit.
John F. Hussell, a partner in Dinsmore & Shohl's Charleston office, said there are two major questions a person must consider.
The first question, Hussell said, is how will this business be financed?
"How do they transition from something that they do as a hobby to something they do as a living?"
Hussell said there are several entities available for financing.
"The traditional means is to borrow from a bank, but there are government entities like the West Virginia Small Business Development Center," he explained.
One of the most crucial steps is to formulate a business plan to transition from a hobby to a business. This business plan covers the nature of the business, growth, target audience and how to best reach that target audience.
"A business plan is critical," Hussell said.
The second question people should answer is what legal steps they should take to form the business.
"This can be taking into consideration how to tax the business and entity formation," Hussell said.
People must register their business with the Secretary of State, and there are different entities a person can choose from.
"They're kind of an alphabet soup," Hussell said, noting there are LLCs, PLLCs, LLPs, C corporations and S corporations.
However, Hussell cautions people to steer clear of sole proprietorships.
"From the standpoint of liability, you would like to have some liability protection that limited liability affords you. … The second thing is it makes it somewhat difficult to bring on business partners if doing business as a DBA. If you have the framework in place, as the business grows, you can bring on other partners and other investors if you want to."
Hussell said the best entity choice for someone starting a business from scratch would usually be a limited liability company.
"Generally, an LLP is limited to professionals, and it is unusual to do a limited liability partnership," he said. "You can do a limited partnership, or an LP, but with that, you still would have to have a general partner who calls the shots and subjects their own assets to liability."
Hussell explained that with an LLC, a person's individual assets would not necessarily be obligated to claims against the entity.
"If your business gets sued, the assets of an LLC are subject to claims of credits. Individual members are not subject to those claims," Hussell explained.
Hussell explained that a C corporation is taxed at two levels, the corporate and the shareholder level.
"C Corporations are not advantageous for someone looking into taking their hobby to the next level," he said.
S corporations, meanwhile are not taxed at two levels and generally provide the same tax benefits as an LLC, but Hussell said a person has more flexibility with an LLC.
"When you weigh an S corporation with an LLC, the LLC comes out on top, particularly someone in this niche that wants to take their hobby to the next level."
Would there ever be a time when someone would switch from an LLC to a corporation? Generally, Hussell said the business owner would not need to do this.
"Once you're set up as an LLC, there's not much motivation to convert to a C corporation or an S corporation, unless you get really big and want to take it public," he said. "The cost of taking it public is fairly expensive."
But people must be careful. Hussell cautioned aspiring business owners to look twice when going to a bank to sign on behalf of the LLC.
"People who establish an LLC need to be careful when getting money and obligating an LLC or obligating themselves," he said. "Many banks say, 'Yes, we want the LLC to be obligated, but we also want you individually to sign off on the indebtedness.' "
Hussell also advised potential business owners to think about patenting their invention or design to protect intellectual property.
"It's also beneficial to get legal counsel to help them navigate the legal process," Hussell said.
Karen Price, president of the West Virginia Manufacturers Association, meanwhile, advised potential business owners to talk to manufacturers and to work with universities and other institutions.
"Sometimes you've got to have a certain piece of equipment," she said. "The Robert C. Byrd Institute, they buy equipment all the time that companies can go over and use to develop new products with. I don't think people really understand that; they're such a little gem here in the state, but they spend money to buy equipment that sometimes companies cannot afford to buy."

Multi-channel audio playback
Multimedia application or game developers may want to play multiple sound effects at the same time. Using CMdaAudioOutputStream class, it is possible to set up multi-channel sound playback with low latency. The linked sample application implements multi-channel audio playback. It plays a sound sample every time user selects Options -> Play menu option.
Design overview
- The application uses client-server framework. The server is responsible to maintain a sound stream ( CMdaAudioOutputStream) and mix pre-loaded samples.
- The server thread is created in the same process as the client to make sound sample access fast. (Client is responsible to maintain sound samples.)
Server class that is responsible to create a server session. See Client-Server Framework to learn more about Client-Server infrastructure.
Owns a CMdaAudioOutputStream and constantly mixes sound samples. Implements MMdaAudioOutputStreamCallback interface. CMultiChannelSoundServerSession provides steam data every time CMdaAudioOutputStream requests it.
Client side helper class to access server functions conveniently. See Client-Server Framework to learn more about Client-Server infrastructure.
Represents one sound channel. It mixes the sample to the stream.
Represents one sound sample. The sample must be in 8 bit PCM format.
Responsible to manage sound channels. If all the channels are being used while a new sample is being attempted to play, then it reuses the channel that is started playing sample earliest.
This is the API for the sound system's client. It sets up multi-channel sound system, loads sound samples and allows its clients to initiate playback.

A winter storm that hit the southern United States yesterday all but paralyzed the city of Atlanta, stranding people in cars at stores and children at their schools. The storm only brought a few inches across the region but with the ice caused major problems in America's southern region. Traffic is snarled along the I-285 perimeter north of the metro area after a winter snow storm on Jan. 29 in Atlanta. Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said early Wednesday that the National Guard was sending military Humvees onto Atlanta's snarled freeway system in an attempt to move stranded school buses and get food and water to people. Georgia State Patrol troopers headed to schools where children were hunkered down early Wednesday after spending the night there, and transportation crews continued to treat roads and bring gas to motorists, Deal said.

Muslims worldwide began their holiest month of the year last week with dawn to dusk fasts, broken each evening by large, communal meals. The faithful use the time to reevaluate their lives through the scope of Islamic doctrine. However, violence has marred the celebrations with more than 160 Iraqis killed in the first week and with supporters of former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi continuing to protest his removal from office.

The experimental airplane Solar Impulse completed its first flight across the United States this week. The Swiss-made plane, powered only by the sun, is the first to make the trip both day and night without using conventional fuel. It started the journey on May 3 in California and ended on July 6 in New York. Pilots and creators Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg took turns manning the single-seat flyer, which is powered by about 12,000 silicon solar cells and has a wingspan of a jumbo jet. The next step is a trip around the world in 2015. Workers load a wing of the Swiss sun-powered aircraft Solar Impulse into a Cargolux Boeing 747 cargo aircraft on February 20 at Payerne airport in Geneva. The Boeing will carry the Solar Impulse HB-SIA prototype aircraft to San Francisco for a series of flights across the US from the West to East Coast. The Solar Impulse glides over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco during a successful test flight on April 23. The Solar Impulse is powered by about 12,000 photovoltaic cells that cover massive wings and charge its batteries, allowing it to fly day and night without jet fuel. The Solar Impulse HB-SIA plane with Andre� Borschberg onboard approaches JFK airport on late July 6 in New York. The experimental Solar Impulse plane, powered by the sun, completed a transcontinental trip across the United States late Saturday, touching down in New York despite a rip in the fabric of one wing.

Reuters photographer Ricardo Moraes spent time documenting a religious fraternity called O Caminho, (The Way), a group of Franciscan monks and nuns who help the homeless on the streets of Rio de Janeiro. They consider the election of Pope Francis, the first pontiff to take the name of St Francis of Assisi, to be a confirmation of their beliefs in poverty and simplicity. Brother Jose Wellington Damasio Antonio, a member of the Franciscan fraternity O Caminho, prays in the chapel of fraternity's house in the Campo Grande neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro on April 2.

Simple and efficient, rail travel nonetheless inspires a sense of romance. By train, subway, and a seemingly endless variety of trams, trolleys, and coal shaft cars, we've moved on rails for hundreds of years. Industry too relies on the billions of tons of freight moved annually by rolling stock. An employee adjusts a CRH380B high-speed Harmony bullet train as it stops for an examination during a test run at a bullet train exam and repair center in Shenyang, China. Freight trains are readied at the railroad shunting yard in Maschen, Germany on September 23, 2012. Parts of old locomotives are seen in the train cemetery in Uyuni, near a salt flat some 290 miles south of La Paz on November 5, 2012. These locomotives and freight cars were part of Bolivia's first railway network that carried minerals between Uyuni and Antofagasta, Chile, nearly a century ago.

BRIDGEWATER, Conn. (AP) - Residents of Connecticut's last dry town are getting a chance to vote on whether to get a little wet.
A referendum in Bridgewater is scheduled for Feb. 25 to decide whether the town will continue to ban all alcohol sales or allow them in restaurants. If voters choose the second option, they will end Prohibition in town 81 years after the repeal of the 18th Amendment allowed alcohol sales to resume nationwide.
The ballot question is in response to plans to allow alcohol sales at two restaurants in town.
Town officials say allowing restaurant sales would make the town "partially dry." They say there still won't be a liquor store, because state regulations allow one package store per 2,500 residents and Bridgewater only has about 1,700 residents.

- Fabulous Fall Lunch on the Patiofoodie924Dined on 9/27/2014Lunch at Luminaria was a delightful surprise. From the convenience of the valet parking to the fabulous corn muffins and the beautiful patio we had one of the best lunch experiences of our trip! Would highly recommend!! In fact the Grilled Cheese Pulled Pork Sandwich was so good we went back on our last day for another one!Special Features:
- Delightful meal!KWS1Dined on 9/20/2014Beautiful setting, friendly and knowledgeable staff, great food. Everything was lovely. The halibut was impeccable, the duck as well. The one dish that didn't succeed was the tempeh. Other than that, a great evening from beginning to end. It is a beautiful setting, I always love eating at Luminaria. Always somethig delightful on the menu,many again, the staff are really wonderful. Very relaxing, fun and delicious!Special Features:
- Night in Santa FeTimboDined on 9/20/2014We enjoyed the food and the outdoor dining experience. Our waitperson was very good and the roaring fire was very nice. I would return.Special Features:
- Pleasant….enjoyableTJGIntlVIPDined on 9/19/2014As always, Luminaria proves to be a great lunch spot. The patio was lovely and service adequate. Too bad you have taken the wonderful risotto off the lunch menu. It always brought me back, but now, with it off the menu, don't know I will return as often.Special Features:
- Rose Petals!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/18/2014Our waiter was extremely attentive. We were celebrating a birthday and he sprinkled rose petals on the table and put a candle in the desert and all sang! It was a wonderful experience.Special Features:
- Great restaurant Santa FeGVBaysideDined on 9/15/2014This wonderful restaurant very near the plaza in Santa Fe is in a hotel but our dining experience was superb. I have very poor hearing, so the low noise level made our dinner conversation easy. The dinner selections had variety and our meals were well prepared, pleasingly presented and the service spot on. We will definitely return and recommend to friends.Special Features:
- Very good but priceyGV2dineDined on 9/13/2014My wife and I went to dinner and we spent over $100 just on food (the wine, tax, and tip were more). I did expect to pay a bit more and the food was very good but I expected to not pay that much. The Granny Smith Gazpacho was very good. I had the pork and my wife had the scallops - both were excellent. We shared a Peach Shortcake desert, also very good. The service was attentive.Special Features:
- Great food, attentive serviceAlmaVIPDined on 9/6/2014I visited this beautiful restaurant my first night in Santa Fe. Despite some personal restrictions, when I noticed a barrel aged Negroni on the menu, I indulged and was not disappointed - it was excellent. This was followed by Granny Smith apple cold soup. It was neon green, and delightful - fresh and tart, like biting into the best apple you've ever eaten. For dinner, I had one of the evenings specials - a bone-in filet mignon. It was cooked to perfection, and the most flavorful steak I've had in ages. The accompanying potato and green chile ragout is my new favorite comfort food - hot, spicy, and delicious. I will gladly visit again the next time I'm in Santa Fe.Special Features:
- Patio dining ambience.WinecruiserDined on 9/4/2014My wife & I stayed at the Inn & Spa at Loretto where the Luminaria is located. Not only is the hotel wonderful, but the Luminaria is great for any meal. Although a bit pricy, the ambience of the outdoor patio is hard to beat on a nice evening. The diner was absolutely magnificant, the service was very good, and a notable wine list recognized by Wine Spectator add to the making of a memorable event.Special Features:
- Always terrificFourlettersDined on 9/4/2014I have lunch here all year @once a week, but this time of year the outdoor patio makes it especially sweet. The food is seasonaly balanced and always prepared and plated with care. The service is awesome. And don't forget free parking!Special Features:
- Service terribleqwerVIPDined on 9/3/2014Food was good but Melissa did not fill my water nor did anyone else as they walked by. They had many opportunities. I would expect better from an expensive restaurant like this. Not pleased. Melissa came by only once to see if the food was ok. Never came back. Chef & Management: why do you allow this to happen?
- lovely outdoor spotOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/31/2014delightful on a warm evening, we sat outside by the garden full of wind sculptures, decent service, not that attentive but food was very good as was the wine selection...go try for the food and night sky!Special Features:
- Slow kitchen and Slow serviceSfedinerVIPDined on 8/31/2014As locals, we love the outdoor patio in the summertime, and the food is good. The service, however, is another matter. It usually starts out well, but goes downhill quickly. I do not believe it is entirely the fault of the servers,however. Often the restaurant is simply understaffed. Moreover, there seems to be a breakdown in the kitchen with entirely too much time between ordering and firing. If you order more than one course, you are in for an exasperatingly long wait. This has been a problem with this restaurant for years, and I do not understand why they can't fix it. Go to the Coyote Cafe or Geronimo instead, where the food,service...and timing...is first rate!Special Features:
- Perfect for summer brunchinternettieVIPDined on 8/31/2014Perfect place for a catch up brunch with friends. The patio dining, covered but open to the breezes and the view of the park at the Loretto Chapel, is lovely. The Sunday brunch menu has something for everyone: many egg dishes, sandwiches, salads. The bloody marys came with a piece of crispy bacon in them! Of course, it did not stay crispy long, but it was delicious -- the drink was nice and spicy, too. We could not fault anything with our meal. Luminaria continues to be a very good place to dine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love LuminariaLauraTDined on 8/30/2014We enjoyed Luminaria so much, we ate there twice this trip. They also have an excellent breakfast and lunch. The food is very interesting, and everything we has was delicious. The service is great, the servers knowledgeable and friendly. One of our Santa Fe favorites.Special Features:
- Out of touch with Santa FeNM89VIPDined on 8/29/2014For those of us who have lived in Santa Fe, a restaurant that prices all its entrees over $30 suffers from a New York, Dallas or LA syndrome. Yes, the dishes are artistically plated and the outdoor setting alluring. But this is not a place for locals, except those who have money to burn. Sorry.Special Features:
- So deliciousYvonneAdrienneDined on 8/28/2014The food was fantastic And actually felt like it melted in my mouth. I would definitely recommend the Halibut with lavendar corn pudding, so good. My husband's filet was mignon was so tender and tasty. I cannot describe how delicious all the food was. They have the best blue cornuffins and red chile biscotti's. Dessert did not disappoint and the ambiance was superb. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable which made the overall experience wonderful and memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing foodSarnoldVIPDined on 8/26/2014Had a great experience eating here the other night. Food was amazing and service was great. The pork belly appetizer was really good and the scallops where made perfectlySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceGypsyDined on 8/23/2014The food, service, and ambiance were perfect. Out server was Daniel and he was outstanding in every way as well as personable. He made the experience above and beyond just a great dinner with atmosphere.Special Features:
- Lovely evening, very good foodSFfoodieDined on 8/22/2014We were celebrating a special occasion and wanted to try an upscale restaurant with good food, but not a stuffy environment.The patio at Luminarias looked pretty, however it was a chilly evening and we decided to dine inside.I would have preferred to sit at a cozy, romantic booth, and while there were booths open, they seated us at a table near the entrance.This was the only downside to the evening.The service was impeccable and friendly.Both the waitress and the bartender, were professional but not overbearing or snobbish.The food was delicious, and the prices albeit a bit high, were comparable to other elegant hotel restaurants.Overall, for very good food and excellent service,it was a very good experience.Recommend for special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CanadaDined on 8/22/2014We were treated like celebrities and really had the most wonderful dinner. A memorable experience and not just a dinner.Special Features:
- Glad we went back!lovesthemtnsDined on 8/22/2014We had been here before, and were glad we returned with friends. The food was really excellent, and the service was quite good. We had dined on the patio previously, and would do it again in a minute if it had been a bit warmer.Special Features:
- Met ExpectationsYaYa2Dined on 8/19/2014The outside patio setting for dinner was romantic and enchanting. I would rate the food and service some of the best I have experienced. I would return here again and recommend this restaurant to friends and family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Price-quality175dine42Dined on 8/19/2014We had a wonderful dinner at Luminaria, which in Europe would qualify for a Michelin star. However prices are high and the wine list is somewhat overrated ( in dollars). Service impeccable. Will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 8/18/2014LUMINARIA was always a"safe bet" for a pleasant meal and enjoyable outdoor dining. Their "new menu" is quite remarkable. They were a bit short on waitstaff.Our waitperson, Daniel was excellent, but overworked and therefore not as available as we would have liked.Special Features:
- Delicious and beautifulJennyNMDined on 8/16/2014We had a date night at Luminaria, we hadn't tried it before. The patio is beautiful, it is hidden in the alcove between the chapel and the hotel and it is beautifully decorated. Our server, Aimee was FANTASTIC! She worked with us to find something on the menu that would work for our dietary restrictions. The food was amazing - the salmon tartar was especially yummy. The roasted potatoes, corn, and peppers that came a a side to the bison tenderloin were delicious!Special Features:
- carlyDined on 8/13/2014When in Santa Fe... This restaurant is a MUST if you appreciate qualitative food, top rate local ingredients and above all a chef who is one of the best in the area. Wine list will offer a good array of pairings at a price most restaurants in Santa Fe. charge. Aimee and Stephanie were our servers. Servers can make or break a dining experience. Both of these charming ladies are the best.Special Features:
- new food adventurecalvisitorDined on 8/12/2014Sous vide rabbit had tender dark but dry breast meat. Molecular fruits delightful. Excellent Manhatten, fois gras, bread, sparkling New Mexico wine.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/9/2014Haute cuisine in the high desert. Quality comparable to restaurants on either coast but with southwestern hospitality.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Didn't care for the menuCupcakeDined on 8/8/2014My husband and I had so many favorite on the old menu. The new one seems to be very meat/poultry oriented. We LOVED the salmon, the Grilled Romaine Salad, and other items. We probably won't return to Luminaria for dinner.Special Features:
- New chef, still a great experienceCSOBEDined on 8/6/2014Luminaria has a new chef who has just introduced a new menu in the last couple of weeks. While very different from their old menu, the dishes I and my party have tried on two occasions were all delicious, interesting combinations but not overly fussy. The pork belly appetizer is a must!Special Features:
- Pleasant afternoon.BuschDined on 8/6/2014One of my favorite outdoor settings to dine on Santa Fe. Creative menu of interesting dishes. Service was a bit slow. But it was an otherwise lovely time. I'm returning there for dinner tomorrow evening!Special Features:
- Luminaria less glowingFoodieJuneVIPDined on 8/5/2014Luminaria is still one of the most beautiful restaurants we know but, somehow, the quality of the food has gone down. There were three of us. My husband ordered the pork chop and it looked gray and was both tasteless and tough. I had the scallops, probably the best dish among us...the scallops sweet tender, sitting on top of small crab cakes. And our guest had the halibut, which was simply "okay." The food no longer lives up to the very spectacular atmosphere. Still, for a beautiful even, go, sit outside on the patio, and enjoy the ambiance. It's still an excellent lunch spot.Special Features:
- Great food average serviceMereVIPDined on 8/3/2014The food is wonderful, however the service is not! Expect to repeat your order several times and it still not come out correctly...even if you order straight off the menu without any changes! Not to mention the hostess is slow to seat people and seems disorganized. However it is still a fabulous restaurant with amazing food and worth a visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/2/2014Love going to Luminaria with great green chile cheese burger, service and ambience. Portions are generous, food is delicious and service is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Somewhat disappointingCsTravelsDined on 7/28/2014After all the hype I expected more. This restaurant is lovely. We sat outdoors in perfect evening weather and the setting couldn't be beat. However, the service, while very polite and highly skilled, was glacial: it took 20 minutes for my glass of wine to arrive. The food was imaginative and tasty, but my halibut was both overcooked and cold, and my husband's duck dish was also a little overcooked and tough. I don't know what was going on in the kitchen or in the management that night, but it didn't meet expectations.Special Features:
- Just perfect!DPZ16307Dined on 7/23/2014My wife and I dined at this wonderful restaurant on a quick stop in Santa Fe. It was great! The ambience was special, the service was great (Aimee) and the food outstanding. I would highly recommend Luminaria. Be sure to request an outdoor table.Special Features:
- Food not up to settingOpenTable Diner Since 1999VIPDined on 7/22/2014Great outdoor setting, but food only average and some items a bit pretentious. "Brined" duck breast was way too salty. Service was very pleasant. Good place, but not quite up to standards of several Santa Fe restaurants.Special Features:
- Great lunch on a beautiful patioCupcakeDined on 7/21/2014The salad with ahi tuna was great. I always have a hard time deciding between that salad or the grilled romaine salad with shrimp.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousSFlivingDined on 7/18/2014Sat out on the patio under the big 'tent'. Evening was lovely, the food was exceptional in flavor and presentation. The menu was interesting and the ingredients were fresh and of very good quality. It's one of our favorite restaurants in SF. We are never disappointed and highly recommend to family and friends. We heading back later this week :)Special Features:

Public Humiliation of the Day: When married actor "Brian" attempted a little adultery this morning on his cross-country flight, he had no idea he was hitting on model Melissa Stetten, whose Twitter feed — with 13,000+ followers — broadcast in real time his increasingly pitiful, hypocritical attempt to renege on his vows. Here's the recap in its entirety.
[thanks, chase!]
This is insanely hilarious.

(Reuters) - The chief executive of Lloyds Bank
The FT quoted António Horta-Osório, the CEO of Lloyds as saying, "It is important that planning permits, building authorizations and social housing projects are (liberalized) so that the increase in (mortgage) transactions does not lead to a substantial increase in house prices."
"I think the scheme should be focused outside London and the southeast. (In the rest of the country) you have nothing close to a housing bubble," the FT quoted him as saying.
Lloyds, which is 33 percent owned by the British government, could not be reached immediately for comment.

15 seemingly mundane things that we all do, that if you actually reflect upon, are quite interesting and downright weird. A few cool examples: crying, laughing, & sleeping. Check this out!
Posts tagged with laughing
Laughter is regularly promoted as a source of health and well being, but it has been hard to pin down exactly why laughing until it hurts feels so good.
The answer, reports Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary psychologist at Oxford, is not the intellectual pleasure of cerebral humor, but the physical act of laughing. The simple muscular exertions involved in producing the familiar ha, ha, ha, he said, trigger an increase in endorphins, the brain chemicals known for their feel-good effect.
… Social laughter, Dr. Dunbar suggests, relaxed and contagious, is "grooming at a distance," an activity that fosters closeness in a group the way one-on-one grooming, patting and delousing promote and maintain bonds between individual primates of all sorts.

A Queen Creek girl is battling a rare condition called mitochondrial disease, but the whole scenario changed when a dog named Stasha walked into her life and stole the girl's heart!
9-year-old Kylie LaFlamme was diagnosed with a rare condition last year. She was losing her mobility and speech and ultimately needed a feeding tube.
"She can't do anything.. can't talk like us or walk like us," said Kylie's younger brother, Dylan.
Symptoms can include breathing problems, neurological troubles, even heart disease, but a gift this year changed everything in her life.
"She just has a sense of what Kylie needs at the right time.. it's amazing," said Kylie's mother Kelly.
Ryan, Kylie's father, adds, "The smile that she brings to her face and the love and companionship."
Kylie's new furry friend was a free gift from the non-profit group Canine Companions for Independence. They provide assistance dogs to people with disabilities.
This helpful canine named Stasha joined the family in February. That's when Kylie's entire demeanor changed.
"It has helped her with her speech, her confidence level has increased dramatically -- she is not embarrassed to be in her wheelchair. She loves it when people come and ask her about her dog," said Kelly.
People now want to ask about Stasha instead of her illness.
Kylie is now learning to give her lovable buddy commands.
"Walks with us in public, she helps us get through doors, she helps us navigate," said Kelly.
"It also means Kylie now has someone to take care of now.
"She's very protective," said Kelly.
Kylie says she loves Stasha and her mother says they're a match made in heaven.
Canine Companions gives assistance dogs to people with disabilities free of charge. If you would like to check out Kylie's web site, go to www.caringbridge.org/visit/noodlebug

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. -- Aerialist Nik Wallenda battled brisk winds and thick mist Friday to make history, becoming the first person to walk across Niagara Falls on a tightrope.
"The mist was so thick, so challenging, those winds hit me from every which direction, was definitely more than I expected for sure," Wallenda said moments after reaching the Canadian side of the falls, where he was greeted by loud cheers from the thousands of spectators gathered to watch him.
"I was very focused, the wind was definitely something you could not train for, the 33-year-old father of three said. "The mist was powerful, the mist was in my eyes."
"My forearms start(ed) to tense up and at that point you just feel like running in if you could, but you can't, you gotta take your time, step by step."
Wallenda was unbelievably calm as he slowly, painstakingly, proceeded step-by-step on a steel cable stretched over the falls, he even found time to give an interview as he was perched precariously over the raging waters below.
"Oh my gosh, it's an unbelievable view," he told ABC, which was broadcasting the spectacle live."
"I'm so blessed to be in the position I am, to be the first person to be right here and to be the first person in the world who will ever be right here, this is truly breathtaking," said Wallenda who was wearing a microphone.
"This is what dreams are made of people, pursue your dreams."
Afterward he credited his training regimen for helping him maintain his ice-cold composure, plus a health dose of prayer.
A lot of praying that's for sure, and that helps a lot," Wallenda said after his walk.
Wallenda, dressed in red and black and holding a long pole horizontally for balance, appeared soaked from the raging waters below.
However Wallenda sounded calm, carrying on a dialogue with his father Terry Troffer as he made his journey with his safety tether trailing behind him.
"How's that harness, it's not cutting off any circulation?" Troffer could be heard asking Wallenda at one point.
"No, I just feel like a jackass wearing it," Wallenda replied.
In a second interview with ABC, after Wallenda crossed the Canada-US border midway over the water, he admitted he was "drained" from the very physical effort.
"That mist was thick and it was hard to see at times," he said. "There was so much moving around me, wind going one way, mist going another, it wasn't pretty."
"It was definitely quite a challenge."
Thousands of people came on both sides of the border to watch the historic feat in person with a much bigger televised audience.
Some people arrived Friday afternoon to stake out a good spot.
Wallenda gathered with his family before the event and they prayed.
Others have crossed the water on tightropes, but over the gorge downstream and not for more than 100 years.
Wallenda comes from a long line of aerialists as a member of the Flying Wallenda family.
The Wallendas trace their roots to 1780 Austria-Hungary, when ancestors travelled as a band of acrobats, aerialists, jugglers, animal trainers and trapeze artists. In 1928, the family gave its inaugural performance at Madison Square Garden and earned a 15-minute standing ovation from an astounded audience, who marvelled at them performing without a safety net.
And the clan has been touched by tragedy, notably in 1978 when patriarch Karl Wallenda, Nik's great-grandfather, fell to his death during a stunt in Puerto Rico.
Wallenda's historic feat didn't allow him to escape a ritual that everyone who enters Canada goes through -- he was greeted by two border guards who asked to see his passport.
"No I'm not carrying anything over, I promise," a tired but happy Wallenda told the customs agents.

What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

In the Terminator trilogy, entrusting our nation's defense to a machine led to the rise of cyborg assassin and, very nearly, the demise of mankind. In real life, handing over our cellphones -- and everything on them -- to a series of newish apps will either terminate the need for us to remember anything on our own or what little privacy we have left, depending on whom you ask.
"It's too personal," one man said. "I got too much personal stuff on my phone. I don't want nobody in my business."
"I'd be into it," another woman said. "I don't mind. The more technology the better."
"It's just a question of what you're willing to let the machine do," tech expert and author Shelly Palmer said. "And a lot of people have moral, ethical, psychological issues with that."
Predictive search services -- such as Google Now, ReQall, Evernote and others -- sift through everything your phone access: e-mails, calendars, alarms, social media, etc. Those apps then use that information to provide tips and reminders without one's prompting.
If that idea makes you a little nervous just to be around your phone, imagine this scenario: Your device wakes you up before you told it to and tells you a faster way to get to a destination you've never plugged in before so you're on time for an event you thought your phone didn't know about.
"Depending on how old you are, you're either going to think this is super cool or super creepy," Palmer said.
