June 25th, 2014 | Afghanistan Sangin | Posted by Hope Hodge Seck
Just last month, the Marine Corps executed a carefully planned pullout from Sangin district in Afghanistan's Helmand province, a region best known as one of the most deadly battlegrounds of the war. I was on the ground with some of the units for the final withdrawal.
Less than two months on, the news out of Sangin isn't good: AP reports that some 27 people, including five civilians, have been killed since Sunday, when the Taliban launched an attack on police checkpoints in the district, swarming the region with between 800 and 1,0o0 enemy fighters. The fighting has also spread the nearby Kajaki and Now Zad districts, a spokesman for the Afghan ministry of defense said. The good news, according to NATO officials, is that no checkpoints have been overrun so far in the fighting.
Amid the fray, the Afghan National Army's 215th Corps–the unit responsible for all of Helmand province–fired off a statement from Corps commander Maj. Gen. Sayed Malouk declaring victory and saying the Taliban were on the run.
"Unfortunately, media outlets have broadcasted news that we have been defeated, but this is false," the release reads. "…120 Taliban have been killed and 200 wounded, many of which have been captured. The enemy has failed and they are on the run, leaving behind heavy and light weapons, ammunition, and vehicles and have left many of their dead on the battlefield."
The statement closes with a promise that "life will return to normal" with the Afghan National Security Forces in control.
It's hard to know exactly how to interpret this release. A BBC report from today quotes "local officials" saying more than 100 Taliban have been killed in the five days of fighting in Sangin, but acknowledges no independent confirmation exists for this figure.
The statement from the 215th Corps also seems strangely optimistic given the reports from the ground in Sangin. That said, Afghan officials emphasized to Marine Corps Times the importance of a robust information campaign as an element of warfighting, noting that the Taliban have relied heavily on propaganda to maintain authority. To that end, the 215th Corps public affairs office set up a Facebook page, with the help of public affairs Marines aboard Camp Leatherneck, during the time I spent in Helmand.
The reality of the situation in Sangin has yet to be made completely clear. But will life "return to normal" within the district in the near future? Consider me skeptical.
May 28th, 2014 | Afghanistan Blue-Green operations Embedded journalism Training Vehicles | Posted by Hope Hodge Seck
During my last few days in Afghanistan, I got a behind-the-scenes look at a "dress rehearsal" for a large-scale training exercise the Afghan National Army's 215th Corps was planning at Camp Shorabak in Helmand province to showcase the Corps' military training and enhance interoperability.
The scale of the exercise was pretty impressive: it involved hundreds of Afghan soldiers, two of the 215th Corps' Mi-17 helicopters, and over a dozen M1117 armored vehicles, plus Humvees and trucks.
The M1117, used by the U.S. Army's military police corps and the Army National Guard, has less armored protection than the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle, but the ANA fleet does have enhanced survivability features. The U.S. government announced it would be donating nearly 500 of these vehicles to the ANA, and they were first fielded to Afghanistan in 2012. The Afghan National Security Forces also have an extensive fleet of High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles, some purchased or donated from the U.S. government, some acquired from elsewhere.
But unlike U.S. armored vehicles, which tend to look pretty standardized, you'll often see Afghan vehicles "dressed up" with a variety of aesthetic modifications. Marines said the ANSF sometimes used flags or other decorations to indicate the vehicle of a senior official. I'm told the below Humvee belonged to 215th Corps Chief of Staff Brig. Gen. Zamen Hassan.
Here's another view of the same vehicle. It's hard to see all the flags, but I think I counted 11, including the ones painted on the sides. As you can see, the vehicle's tires and sides also got an accent paint job.
I'm not sure why the truck below received the "Pimp My Ride" treatment, but in addition to flags on the hood and windshield, the truck has what appear to be Christmas decorations on the dashboard–including tinsel and sprigs of greenery–and a few things I can't identify. It was even more impressive in person.
As light-hearted as these observations are, it was incredible to see the 215th Corps on parade in armored vehicles and even conducting air maneuvers in their own helicopters. Considering this Corps was created circa 2010, that's remarkable progress.
Have you seen any tricked-out combat vehicles on deployment? I'd love to hear from you in the comments.

Since the first military burial on May 13, 1864, Arlington National Cemetery has become the final resting place for more than 400,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and their families. Those who on Sept. 11, 2001, died only a few hundred yards away at the Pentagon are buried here, as are the Challenger astronauts. Fifteen thousand soldiers from the Civil War — Union and Confederate — rest in Section 27 and Section 13, known as the Field of the Dead. Four thousand freed slaves, many identified only as "Citizen," and two presidents also are buried at Arlington. Section 60 is the final resting place of many service members who died in Iraq and Afghanistan, giving their "last full measure of devotion."
As the nation celebrates Arlington's 150th anniversary this Memorial Day, the Military Times takes an in-depth look at the time-honored and revered cemetery, weaving in personal stories of veterans, their families and little-known ceremonies and traditions. The project is rich with photos, videos, including an interview with former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and an interactive map that highlights notable memorials and burial sites at Arlington.

May 12th, 2014 | Afghanistan Embedded journalism Food | Posted by Hope Hodge Seck
As I prepared for my first embed with in Afghanistan, I figured I might spend some time sleeping under the stars and taking "health and comfort breaks" in the woods as the Marines shut down several of their remaining forward operating bases. I've done a bit of tent camping, and I figured I couldn't be disappointed if I managed my expectations.
But, as it turned out, even the final days of FOB life came with quite a few creature comforts.
Soon after I arrived in Afghanistan, we moved to FOB Sabit Qadam (formerly FOB Jackson) in the Sangin district of Helmand province. Only a few hundred troops with Charley company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines remained at the base, which was due to close in about three days.
True, there wasn't any air conditioning or cold water in the heat, which pushed into the triple digits, but the lights and electricity were still on in the stone house that served as a base HQ and lodging for reporters. (Power was supposed to be out in the tents where the Marines stayed, but the guys in one tent told us they'd "tactically acquired" a power source nevertheless).
About that lodging situation: we were told the stone stronghold once belonged to a tribal leader/drug lord back in the day, and it was some pretty nice digs: beds with mattresses, and tile designs in the ceilings, albeit what looked like a few bullet holes in the walls. A good night of sleep anywhere.
My stay at Sabit Qadam was, however, my first introduction to the Wag Bag, an ingenious little invention designed to deal with the facts of life in austere environments.
Simply put: it's a self contained single-use system to help you answer the call of nature. Open it up, take out a good-sized trash bag filled with an absorbent kitty litter-type material. Use that bag to line a toilet seat, and you're ready to go. The kit comes with toilet paper and a wet wipe. After you're done, you drop all the used items back into the outer bag and throw the whole thing away. The men had the option of using "piss tubes" in the dirt for No. 1, but for women, it's Wag Bag and Wag Bag only. Pretty simple.
In the morning at FOB Sabit Qadam, I discovered the Marines were still serving a hot meal at the little mess tent on base, even if the water at the hygiene station outside the tent had been turned off.
The hot food was a Unitized Group Ration-Express (UGR-E) and included a potato hash with cheddar cheese, biscuits, sausage, and cinnamon rolls, complete with an optional cream cheese frosting. The Marines manning the mess tent graciously offered me some of everything, but after I tried the cheese-hash mixture, I found out I wasn't as hungry as I thought. All of the reporters and some of the Marines, I found, were as skeptical of UGR-Es as I was. Oh well.
When we moved to FOB Nolay later in the day, we found a base that had advanced even further into the shutdown process.
My bed situation was still comfy: I slept in a cool tent on a cot near an open panel that let fresh air in.
But electricity at FOB Nolay was a thing of the past, as was running water.
The only power to be had on base was at the command operations center, which turned out to be an idling MRAP staffed by officers who sat knee-to-knee inside.
Meanwhile, mealtime at Nolay was the real deal: a tent equipped with tables, chairs, a variety of hot sauces, and a pick-your-own selection of Meals Ready-to-Eat, or MREs.
It was a first combat zone MRE for me, and I went with Menu 23: Chicken and pasta with pesto, complete with all kinds of snacks–way more than you could eat in one sitting. Not bad, and way better than the UGR-E experience that morning.
I discovered later that evening, however, that the Afghan linguists at FOB Nolay still found ways to make a hot Afghan meal: long-grain rice with potatoes. They shared some of the bounty with me, and it was delicious.
The next day, I discovered the true extent of Marine Corps ingenuity.
Someone had figured out how to hook up a tactical vehicle to a big-screen TV, and we watched Lone Survivor on the remaining office chairs in the dark as we waited for the heat of the day to abate.
Within 48 hours, Marines would pack the remaining portable equipment into a convoy of vehicles and leave FOB Nolay behind for good. Truly, a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the final days of a FOB.

Not all working dogs in Afghanistan sniff explosives or walk patrols.
Meet Steel.
Steel, a three-year-old black Lab, was trained was an Improvised Detection Dog (IDD), skilled at sniffing out explosive devices.
But when he arrived at Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, his trainers realized that his paws were too soft and sensitive for patrols over rugged, rocky terrain. He would never patrol with his infantry unit, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines. Instead of being sent back to the States, however, Steel was sent over to Camp Leatherneck's Concussion Restoration Care Center–its consolidated medical facility for sick, injured and wounded troops.
Steel would become the base's only working morale dog, given the job of playing with patients and putting them at their ease. He's the second morale dog to work at the center: Sgt. Joe, the first, was retired from IDD duty after five deployments when he developed a sensitivity to loud noises. His handlers worried he might have PTSD, and brought him to the center to do a less stressful job.
Like Joe before him, Steel is still considered a military working dog; only now, work means fetching tennis balls, being petted, and providing a calming presence for Marines who might be recovering from battlefield injuries or struggling with combat stress.
Sometimes patients stop by informally to play with Steel; other times, he's part of their treatment plan.
With some patients being treated for stress, "we say, 'your job is to play with the dog for half an hour,'" said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Ken Fechner, the center director. "People light up. It's pretty funny."
One Marine who has benefited from the morale dog program is Sgt. Kyle Edwards. Edwards, a Motor T Marine with Headquarters and Service Company, 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, was injured Feb. 13 while on a "wrecker run," sent to assist another truck that had been hit by an IED. But during the run, Edwards' mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicle ran over another live IED.
The force of the blast carried the 15-ton vehicle 50 feet through the air, Edwards said. He was life-flighted away from the scene of the blast with burns to his face and neck and a severe concussion. Edwards spent four days in the Camp Leatherneck concussive care center. He was back at work with his unit within two weeks, but he found the blast had left him jumpy and tense, and he had bad headaches for weeks. So he would return to the center as a visitor.
"I would come out in the morning and sit out here and watch movies and [the dog] would just come out here and hang out with me," Edwards said. "It's more just like feeling at home having a dog."
His unit's deployment over, Edwards is going home in a few days. Steel will likely keep working as a welfare dog in Afghanistan until this fall. After that, his military working days will be over and the Marine Corps will make him available for adoption.
Something tells me it won't be hard for him to find a good home.

FOB Sabit Qadam—It's springtime in Afghanistan, and that means the mercury is already pushing into the triple digits here in Sangin. That didn't seem to make a difference for Sgt. Sylvester Brooks, who tore through the FOB at top speed on a 45-minute run, wearing a high-altitude mask to make an already sweltering workout more challenging.
During a quiet deployment focused on drawdown efforts, the outdoor gym seldom sits idle as Marines bide their time by knocking out endurance workouts and strength training. Marine officials said the gym will remain in place as drawdown efforts continue, meaning Marines will be able to continue to work out until they leave the base behind for good.
Brooks, with Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, said he's in the best shape of his life, running daily with a mask that simulates the thin air at 6,000 feet in altitude.
"It's rough," he said. "But like anything, once you do something like enough, you're going to adapt to it."
That goes for the base, too; Brooks, who first deployed to Sangin in 2012, says he has watched it grow smaller and smaller, eventually losing water and power.
Cpl. Timothy Dykes, also from the unit, did pull-ups nearby.
"We make the best of what we can," he said. "Strength is this key aspect of being a Marine."

May 2nd, 2014 | Afghanistan Camp Leatherneck Drawdown | Posted by gpingersoll
FOB Sabit Qadam—The Sangin district of Helmand province once was known as one of the most combat-intensive regions in Afghanistan. The gains made in the area—pushing the insurgents back and making the region more secure for civilians—proved costly in Marine lives, particularly during 2010 and 2011. Three years later, while the Taliban do still maintain a presence here, it's now the Afghan National Security Forces who patrol and engage with the enemy, as is the case throughout Helmand province.
The Marines still remaining here, a contingent of fewer than 300 from Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, are tasked with drawdown operations for the outpost and providing security.
At an outpost where Marines once awoke to machine gun fire overhead, some now look forward to the chance to get outside the wire at all.
Lance Cpl. Alan Lucas, who stood post at a lookout point facing the Helmand River, said he had been on one patrol since arriving at Sabit Qadam earlier this spring, going less than a hundred yards outside the wire to assess damage to a bridge across the river to assess damage after some heavy flooding.
"A really small patrol stepped out," he said. "We went across the [Afghan National Army] side, and we actually, me and my machine gun team, we were sitting in the water right there pulling security."
When a Marine fell into the water by accident during the hour-and-a-half mission, Lucas said "we could actually hear Post 1 laughing."
Lucas said his first deployment has been quiet for the most part, except on election day when he observed enemy rocket fire aimed toward the regional polling place. While most of the rockets were duds, he said, one did explode near a FOB lookout point further down the river.
It's a tribute to the work of Marines on past deployments that Lucas has given this one a tongue-in-cheek name: "Spring Break Sangin."
May 1st, 2014 | Afghanistan Battle Rattle Camp Bastion Camp Leatherneck | Posted by gpingersoll
Camp Leatherneck–Greetings from Camp Leatherneck, a once-bustling base in Afghanistan's Helmand province that is rapidly becoming a ghost town.
Leatherneck is home to most of the 4,500 Marines remaining in Afghanistan, down from some 20,000 at the peak of fighting here.
While the base still has a sprawling footprint, whole sections are emptying as units and elements complete their mission and go home.
Meanwhile, Leatherneck is still home to an array of coalition troops, including Jordanian, Georgian, Estonian, and Danish forces, as well as some 2,500 British troops stationed at Camp Bastion, which borders Leatherneck.
On April 29, though, the base did say farewell to the last contingent of Tongans, some 50 troops who completed their mission with a traditional dance ceremony. The tiny Polynesian kingdom of just over 100,000 people, has seen 75 percent of its military deploy in support of Operation Enduring Freedom over the last 13 years, Marine officials said.
The Marines' footprint has contracted significantly within Helmand province; from nearly 250 forward operating bases two years ago, four FOBs and patrol bases remain in use: Camp Dwyer in Garmsir district, FOB Nolay and PB Sabit Qadam in the Sangin district, and PB Boldak near Camp Leatherneck. That number is set to shrink again soon.
Here at Camp Leatherneck, though, some things remain the same: the dining hall is still serving three hot meals a day, and the USO is still offering troops comfy leather couches, free WiFi, and a chance to send a letter home.

April 21st, 2014 | Afghanistan Iraq Washington | Posted by Hope Hodge Seck
On the cover this week, I dig into a complex problem: The Afghan and Iraqi interpreters who risked their lives alongside U.S. Marines and now fear for their lives as they wait for approval for special immigrant visas, a State Department process that can take years.
Many of the interpreters I spoke with asked that we blur their faces and disguise their names, because their work with U.S. troops makes them a target for insurgents.
Over the course of this story, I received emails from over 50 interpreters pleading for help in speeding up this process, and describing threats to themselves and their families. The problem appears to lie in the bureaucratic process and the three different agencies that must run security checks on each SIV applicant.
But one Marine officer thinks military commanders could do more to help interpreters as well. Read his story below:
On the ground, some argue there's more the Defense Department can do as well to ensure the success of interpreters seeking SIVs.
Capt. Rucker Hunt Culpepper, a Marine infantry officer now on terminal leave, said many linguists in Afghanistan are still working on forward operating bases where they may not be given regular access to the internet. Staying on top of a visa application, he said, can be difficult.
"I think that if DoD, Marine Corps, Army leadership came down with a very firm stance in favor of assisting those interpreters who deserve it, that could go some way to influencing the units who are there on FOBs," he said.
It's personal for Culpepper, who has been helping his Afghan interpreter, Amin, to navigate the visa system for more than a year, submitting redundant forms into a system that is opaque and often frustratingly uncommunicative. Culpepper shared a March email exchange between an interpreter he has sponsored and the U.S. embassy in Kabul as an example of the real problems that continue, despite optimism from State Department officials.
An articulate four-paragraph email from the interpreter inquires why his application was labeled refused, refers to a letter of endorsement from Culpepper and asks whether his application status will change, having submitted a U.S. address, which was previously missing from his application. The email took considerable time to draft for the interpreter and for the lawyers from IRAP who helped him, Culpepper said.
The embassy sent a one-sentence response.
"Dear Applicant: Thank you for your email," it reads. "Your [sic] need to provide us with U.S address. And please check the status of your case online."
Read the full cover story here. And tell us: do you have a story about an interpreter you worked with?
April 21st, 2014 | Afghanistan Awards | Posted by James Sanborn
We recently learned that Gunnery Sgt. Richard A. Jibson would become the latest Marine to receive the Navy Cross for heroism in Afghanistan. The Secretary of the Navy will present the award during a ceremony tomorrow at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif.
Navy Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Andrew Owensby, a sailor who worked Jibson to save the life of a wounded comrade during a five-hour fire fight in Mazr Abad Janubi, Afghanistan, will receive the Bronze Star for the same action.
Their jaw-dropping medal citations and summaries of action which give minute-by-minute breakdowns of their actions that day are a must read.
The two repeatedly risked their own lives to save fellow troops and repel an enemy attack during a joint operation with Georgian and Afghan forces that we wrote about Friday.
"Throughout the multiple engagements over the ensuing five hours, [Jibson] bravely left covered positions and crossed open terrain many times under withering small-arms and machine gun fire to provide suppressive fire, inspire his comrades and direct the fire and maneuver of the entire coalition force," his citation reads. "When a fellow Marine was shot in the head by an enemy sniper, Gunnery Sergeant Jibson fearlessly charged into a hail of enemy machine gun fire, pulled the exposed wounded Marine to cover, and then assisted a corpsman in rendering emergency measures to stabilize him," reads Jibson's Navy Cross citation.
Owensby also performed selflessly that day.
"After pulling the Marine to safety under enemy fire, he immediately recognized a lack of airway due to extensive trauma to the mouth," Owensby's citation states. "Not able to establish an airway, he performed several advanced lifesaving techniques, including a cricotracheotomy. When the Marine stopped breathing, Petty Officer Owensby began breathing directly into the airway adjunct."
He restored the Marine's pulse and stabilized him for 45 minutes until casualty evacuation arrived.
That is just one of many things — detailed in their summaries of action — the two of them did that day to earn their well-deserved valor awards.

Frick letter 9-4-13
Sunday, September 08, 2013 2:59 AM
We're making the same mistake
We seem to forget why there was an original tea party in colonial times. History tells us that the main reason for the revolt by the citizens was their belief that they were victims of taxation without representation. A truth that came down from this incident is, "If you ignore the mistakes of the past, you are bound to make them again in the future."
The Salina Airport Authority, without representation or input from ordinary taxpayers, raised the taxes that the taxpayers of Salina have to pay for the operation of the Salina Airport Authority property and events.
We must have ignored the mistakes of the past, (i.e., taxation without representation), so we are bound to make them again.
-- BEN FRICK, Salina

Marlon Samuels says patience key to winning Test series
Patience will be the key if West Indies are to beat New Zealand in the upcoming three-Test series, says stroke-maker Marlon Samuels.
The elegant right-hander believes that with Caribbean pitches having become low and slow, batsmen will have to spend time grafting as there will be no easy runs available, reports CMC.
He said the West Indies bowlers would also have to be patient in order to reap success.
"The pitches in the Caribbean are a bit on the slow side so it (will depend on) who can occupy the crease the longest and win more sessions," Samuels said.
"Patience will be the most important thing for this series for the batsmen and bowlers. (You will have to) bowl in good areas and be patient in every way that is possible to win, because it is going to be a tough series.
"These pitches get flat sometimes and they are still on the slow side so whosoever is more patient will come out on top."
Samuels is part of the 13-man West Indies squad that face the Kiwis in the first Test starting Sunday at Sabina Park in Kingston. His last Test outing before his home crowd in Jamaica came against New Zealand two years ago when he plundered 123 and 52 as West Indies scored an emphatic five-wicket victory to make a clean sweep of the two-match series.
Samuels was not as prolific, however, on the Caribbean side's return tour to New Zealand last December, managing just 117 runs from six innings.
The 33-year-old has suffered a few injury setbacks but says the recent two-week camp here helped to improve his fitness.
"There's been a lot of running in the camp, a lot of fitness work and stuff like that," Samuels explained.
"For me, it helps a lot because right now I've been through quite a few injuries so it's for me to get my fitness up where I really want it to be and I guess I'm getting there a so it's for me to continue to work as hard as possible."
He said a plus during the camp was getting the chance to speak to West Indies legends, Sir Garry Sobers and Sir Vivian Richards. Sir Garry worked with the team as a consultant while Sir Viv was attached to the High Performance Centre in a similar role.
"It's always a lot of encouragement talking to Sobers. He always has wonderful words to share with me, nothing has changed over the years, and I humbly grasp all he has to say," said Samuels, who struck an aggressive hundred during the final practice game against a Barbados Select XI earlier this week.
"I've been seeing Viv quite a bit. I went over to the hotel and spent some time over there chatting with Viv. He had a lot to say as usual a a lot of cricketers should get these opportunities as well to use these wise words from these wise men."

Welcome to lucysmith.com
Treading a fine line between business and pleasure, the star-crossed love affair in The Sunday Arrangement embraces a heady mix of family secrets, risk-taking and erotica.
Lucy Smith is a thirty something US born writer of erotica, whose debut novel The Sunday Arrangement has just been released.
Kindle version available to download on Amazon and Amazon UK
Paperback also available from Amazon and Amazon UK.
The Sunday Arrangement
Lauren Hart is an ambitious businesswoman hell-bent on taking over her father's company. But when a merger with former rivals precipitates the creation of a groundbreaking Las Vegas casino, Lauren's passion for business is diverted to an entirely new preoccupation.
Pierce Maverick, the man Lauren has long considered her nemesis, is forced to work side-by-side with the Hart heir. It's only once Maverick unleashes the ravenous beast inside Lauren that she begins to see him in a new light, and the two come to know pleasure beyond their wildest imaginings within the boundaries of their secret Sunday Arrangement.
Of course, things are not all they seem. Behind the distortion of backstabbing, blackmail and betrayal, pleasure comes at a price. The price Lauren may have to pay could destroy everything she's spent her life building – as well as a relationship she's only just begun to comprehend.

I have found I prefer to engineer my own shorts rather than purchase them from the store, so follow along and learn how pants make the best shorts.
Take a pair of shorts and a pair of pants than turn them inside out. Be sure you like the length of the shorts you are using as your template.
Cut the pants 2 inches longer than the preferred length. This is your folding margin.
Make two folds than pin. Be sure to pin the correct way, so when sewing you can slide the pins smoothly out. The machine will pull the fabric away from you.
Make a single stitch around the entire cuff, but be sure not to tug on the fabric, this may cause bunching.
Ride on!

Interview: Darling Farah
Describe your sound.
Stripped back electronic music.
How exactly did you first meet with Civil Music? Do you plan to continue releasing material exclusively through them into the future?
I met with them through Myspace while I was searching through new music pages and stumbled across theirs. Then I started sending them some of my music to see what they thought. We kept in touch and spoke about releasing music and it eventually happened. There are other labels I would like to work with in the future when the time's right.
In an interview you did with RA in February, it said "further EPs and eventually an album" are forthcoming on Civil. Obviously this didn't eventuate in that order. Was this a publishing error on their part or had you originally planned to release more EP's before the full length?
Releasing another EP or two was going to happen but I decided to just move to the album instead as I didn't see a reason not to.
What was the process for making the album? Were the tracks mostly done in a specific period of time, or were some older tracks you had done in the past?
The songs were done around the same time - in like three months. I worked at home on my laptop when it was later in the day, or usually at night when I could just focus on making music.
Body is a very cohesive and flowing album. Were you conscious to make an album as suited to listening to at home as to spinning out?
I did want that cohesive feel, but more in terms of the sound rather than the environment where you heard it.
Do you have any future plans to move back to Detroit?
No concrete plans yet but I'm going back soon for sure.
You've mentioned before you're a big hip hop fan, have you ever produced any Hip hop songs/or plan to in the future?
Hip hop will always be around for me. I'm not making a lot [of it] these days but I have in the past. I'm sure I will keep messing with it.
You've got pretty impressive dreads - how long have they taken to get to the stage they're at?
A while!
Have you ever considered a collaboration with Waka Flocka Flame? (whose dreads are also quite impressive)
[Laughs.] No, I haven't actually considered that. Wouldn't know where to start! I like the music though!

I briefly interrupt this blog about food, random musings about the weather and why people think it's okay to sext to tell you about my most recent musical discovery. Have you guys ever heard of Monsters of Folk? They're kind of old news if you're, like, "WITH THE TIMES," but I only recently got into them (four years late). They're a bombass quartet consisting of Jim James (Yim Yames) from My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes, and M.Ward, solo artist and half of She & Him. SO GOOD. Do yourself a favor and listen to them for a while. Pretty soon you'll be humming them in your sleep (because that's a thing people do) and want to wife each and every one of these dudes up.
In other "things I'm obsessed with recently" news, FARRO. Why am I only getting this memo now? It's a grain with a nutty flavor and whole lotta pizzazz! *Jazz hands.* I've been enjoying this NPR piece about the grain because I love geeking out about food history! Anyway, here's a delicious dish I dreamt up (while humming Monsters of Folk in my sleep) and will be making again and again.
Recipe HERE//Roasted sweet potato & Brussels sprout hash with Farro

Oh, it's so important to have people that you care about cheering for you as you run because people have this notion that running is about having long legs or big lungs or something, but it's really all emotional and all mental. And the people who are supporting you — be it at the course or knowing that your family and friends are going to be waiting for you at the finish line — is a huge part of the drive to get there and be reunited with them and to celebrate what everybody has experienced on the day, and the fact that was so violently interrupted yesterday was a real tragedy.
On a related note, Jezebel ran a lovely piece yesterday about "The People Who Watch Marathons" by Erin Gloria Ryan. She writes to the point that Burfoot talks about above: that cheers really do cheer a runner on. That a marathon, with its give-and-take relationship between runner and watcher, brings out the best in everyone — our desire to challenge ourselves as well as our impulse to encourage each other in the process. A recommended read.

Australian TV Airs McDonald's-Backed McDonald's Documentary
It's called 'McDonald's Gets Grilled' and won the prime-time slot last night
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Joining the likes of Super Size Me and Fast Food Nation is the next McDonald's fast-food documentary, McDonald's Gets Grilled. Except, of course, this one is sponsored by McDonald's.
The documentary, which aired on Australian network Channel Seven, showcases six Australians who spend a week touring farms and factories for McDonald's produce.
Of course, some viewers aren't too happy about the fast-food giant's backing, but Seven representatives think the film is "an interesting contribution to current public discussion around food and nutrition."
The channel aired the segment last night, drawing in 761,000 viewers, even though critics consider it a "thinly-veiled" advertisement. Consumerist calls it a "30-minute infomercial paid for by McDonald's." And naturally, Australian McDonald's CEO Catriona Noble told The Sunday Telegraph, "(This) is not an ad for McDonald's. I think it's very balanced."

By Sarah Taylor
When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate. — Carl Jung
Given that the Sevens have made a regular appearance in my tarot articles over the recent weeks, it might not seem immediately obvious why we should devote another article to them. However, there seem to me to be three compelling reasons to do this.
First, it is a good exercise in consolidation: pulling all of the various sources together in a single article affords an element of cohesion that they otherwise wouldn't have. Second, when we look at them together, we are able to see themes that we might have missed when we met them individually. Third, my ideas about the cards — and one in particular — have shifted now that I have had the opportunity to write about all four of them. So this isn't just a recapping and a review; it is also a re-visioning.
Approaching the Sevens from a broader, thematic viewpoint, let's look at how the minor arcana is structured. There are 56 cards in the minor arcana, divided into four suits (Wands, Cups, Swords, Aces); and within each suit, the cards run from Ace to Ten, followed by (in the Rider-Waite Smith deck) The Page, The Knight, The Queen, and The King: fourteen cards in all. So, in one respect at least, the Sevens represent the mid-point of their suits. I would argue that this mid-point isn't just to do with their chronological location. It is also a pivotal point in the journey that each suit describes.
Once we have left the world of non-incarnate potential (the Aces), the complexities of life on planet Earth start to interact with the cards as they make their way through the suits. So, Twos introduce us to the world of duality, with a hint at the fact that we can never experience something as a pure opposite; Threes develop that idea by looking at what happens when a third element is added to the story… and so a multi-layered picture of life is constructed in front of our eyes, as more layers are added as the cards progress. Last month, we arrived at the Sixes, where the pause of the Fours and the confusion of the Fives brought us to, as I put it, "calmer waters, where we are able to regroup, take stock, and act with more clarity."

How I trolled a guy on the Internet.
Normally I just complain about things and I will get back to it–I have a list on my phone of things that bother me on a daily basis. So instead of my usual rants, I have a story. This is my greatest story of being a troll on the Internet.
It was around 2002-2003 and I was a member of a music forum online. We would discuss playing, recording, and writing music. Obviously, everyone flocked to the "General Discussion" area of the forum to discuss a plethora of topics. There was a kid that always fought with everybody and made sure to disagree with everyone–about everything. He was a staunch republican and a conservative Christian, even though he didn't really act the part most of the time. This fueled everyone's hatred toward him. For the life of me, I cannot remember how I got it, but I managed to get my hand's on this kid's password. Luckily he was one of those people that used the same password for all of the websites that he frequented–including AIM.
It was late one night and we had been arguing on the forum yet again. It was probably about gun control, religion, or something like abortion. Who knows? The important part is that everyone was fighting and everyone was angry. I saw that he signed off of AIM and I knew it was my chance to be the best troll I could be. I didn't have a plan, but I signed in anyways. I was going to improvise.
After I signed in, a friend messaged me with something like "I thought you were going to bed." This was my chance. I decided this was my only chance so I rolled with it. I wish I had the chat log but it went something like this:
Me: Yeah, I was going to, but I don't know…
Him: Oh ok. Is there something wrong?
Me: I don't know anymore. Things are just… confusing.
Him: How so?
I decided I was going to "come out" to his friend. I kept talking to him and kept alluding to something being wrong and being confused and I was going to keep it up until he just asked me what exactly was wrong. He bit the bait and asked. I told him that I felt like he was a good friend and told him that I didn't want him to think differently about me. He assured me that he wouldn't. Then I told him. I said that I had known for a while that I was attracted to men, and I confirmed it with a church friend. I had "come out to myself" within the last couple of years and it was tearing me apart.
After a while, he assured me that he was okay with my lifestyle and that he, too, had feelings like that. I told him that that comforted me, but I didn't want to discuss his feelings, as I was not even comfortable with my own. He told me that he understands and assured me it would all work out. I kept telling him that I didn't think it would work out. I was majorly depressed. This made him even more drawn into my story.
I told him I had to get off of the computer and he asked if he could call me. He told me he wanted to make sure I was safe. I thought this would be the perfect way to end the conversation so I agreed. I came up with a plan. I didn't want the phone to ring and wake everyone up (it was about 3 AM) so I told him that I would turn all of the phones on silent (this is the days before cell phones) and he would call me. The plan was once I signed off, he was to wait 1 minute then call me. I told him to just let the phone ring and ring and I would answer my phone a short time after that. This would ensure that my family did not wake up and that we could talk.
I wish I could have been there for the result but the post on the forum the following morning was great. "To whoever hacked into my AIM account," was the title. He followed up with "I don't know who thought it was a good idea to come out to a friend of mine on AIM, then get him to call my house and wake up my ENTIRE family from a good night's sleep! What is wrong with you people?" The plan went perfectly. I eventually came out as the guy that did it all a few years later and all was well.
Over all it was the single greatest trolling moment of my life. I do feel bad that his friend started to come out of the closet to me, but to this day the guy (who I still talk to from time to time) has never mentioned his friend coming out to him so I'm pretty sure his secret was safe with me. I am not one of the best pranksters out there but this is most definitely one of the greater pranks that I've ever pulled.
Edit: After many years, of not being a complete Internet nerd, I have to ask myself what was wrong with me? Regardless of the fact, this was a pretty solid prank even though I clearly had issues at the time.

The question is never really what you want to do. It is how you want to do it. That is what, figuratively speaking, separates the men from the boys; the statesmen from the politician.
All of things sound good, they always do. But, ultimately, they will always be just things that sound good. The fundamental basis for any social improvement and national character-building is not to say we need to be a nation, but impart that sense of unity and nationalism from birth.
And why…by golly that's done through education and culture and the arts. If history is the memory of the country, culture is its soul. The arts are what helps define the soul and character of a country. As we have just seen, culture and the arts are under attack and are faltering as social institutions. Education is collapsing under the weight of poor planning, limited infrastructure, diminished education and graft and corruption. Our students are no longer taught to be thinkers, or artists, or poets, or entrepreneurs or anything. They are not educated. They are given skills to be functioning laborers, not even of our society, but of other countries.
Consider, what was it the Propagandists and the Revolutions, and Varela and Burgos before, first do? They defined what it meant to be Filipino. In the case of Varela and Rizal, it was by claiming the word "Filipino" for themselves.
Things like this, well, they're pretty and sound wonderful. But from saying to doing…that's a long and difficult road.
It starts in the school rooms of our children.
National strength can only be built on character. A nation is nothing more or less than its citizenry. It is the people that make up a nation and, therefore a nation cannot be stronger than its component parts. Their weakness is its failings, their strength its power. Show me a people composed of vigorous, sturdy individuals of men and women healthy in mind and body, courteous, brave, industrious, self-reliant, and purposeful in thoughts as well as in actions, imbeud with sound patriotism and a profound sense of righteousness, with high social ideals and strong moral fibers-and I will show you a great nation that will not be submerged. A nation that will emerge victorious from trials and bitter strifes of a destructed world. A nation that will live forever, sharing the common task and advancing the welfare and promoting the happiness of mankind.
The upward climb of mankind has been universal. In the human landscape, there are peaks and valleys, and deep chasms. Generally, there is a need for potent social upheavals, volcanic in proportions, to raise the lower levels to grow at heights.
The battle for existence and the survival of the fittest has ever the rule of life, in nature and among men.
It is a heroic task to awaken and apply these faculties so that our people should become what rightly they should be: morally virile, refined, persevering, public-spirited.
I want our people to grow and be like the molave, strong and resilient, unafraid of the raging flood, the lightning or the storm, confident of its own strength.
We are Orientals. Orientals are known for their passivity and placidity. In the world of humanity, we look upon a quiet lake from which adventures and enterprising may reap enjoyment and gain. I refuse to allow Filipinos to be so regarded.
We shall be a flowing stream, a rippling brook, a deep and roaring torrent full of life, of hope, of faith and of strength. Through self-discipline, we shall harness all our energies so that our power spreading over the length and breadth of this land will develop its resources, advance its culture, promote social justice and secure happiness and contentment to all the people under the aegis of liberty and peace.

BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) - Twenty-one year old Justin Boykin died early Friday morning, after someone shot him outside the Sunoco gas station on Niagara Street. So far police have not made any arrests and Boykin's girlfriend is asking the killer to do the right thing.
"I just don't understand how...why would somebody want to take his life." Alicia Pennick is left with a lot of questions...like why did someone murder her boyfriend. Police say 21 year old Justin Boykin and another man were shot in the parking lot of a gas station on Niagara Street in Buffalo. It happened just before 4 AM Friday.
"Everybody liked him. He was cool. He was a family person. He always wanted to be around his family and he loved his sister, his mom, his dad, his kids...everybody." Pennmick said. She has a message for her boyfriend's killer, "I just want who ever did it...to just either turn himself in...as good for the family. Which I know they probably won't. If anybody has anything...any tips ...any cars...any clothes...anything that they can bring to help find the person who killed my boyfriend."
Pennick is now left to raise the five month old daughter she had with Boykin...by herself, "That's all he would probably want us to do now, is stay strong...stick together and find out who did it to him. So, that way we can have closure of the case."
