Memorial Day 2016 - Thanking a True SoldierPermalink +
The message below was written by Christopher Brown, who co-founded Growing Veterans, a non-profit dedicated to helping veterans from all wars who are experiencing physical and mental trauma from their military service. Chris is moving from the position of Executive Director to that of President. As we approach Memorial Day, a holiday more known for being a day off for baseball or BBQ, we should acknowledge the achievements of veterans like Chris for taking up the shameful slack left by a government that shirks its own responsibility for adhering to what President Lincoln promised, "To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan." I wrote earlier about this organization in an article entitled Growing Veterans where I outlined the excellent results achieved by the group. It is now time to recognize one of its founders. Chris writes:
"Reflection & Transition
In 2008, I left three combat deployments to Iraq & Afghanistan carrying a tremendous amount of survivor's guilt, due to the fact that forty-one of the Marines from my unit who deployed with me, never made it home to their families. While learning to manage my Post-traumatic Stress (PTS), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and physical injuries, I made a commitment to pursue a life that would bring healing to myself and other veterans who were lucky enough to come home as well. This is the only way I am able to truly recognize and honor those sacrifices. My long term goal would be to become a licensed counselor in order to help veterans who have endured combat trauma. Knowing my ultimate goal was several years away however, I determined to create an organization that could empower military veterans to grow food, communities, and each other.
By 2012, my pursuits had introduced me to many incredible people and experiences, all of which pointed to the reality that using a sustainable farm as the platform for veteran peer-support and broader community engagement, could lead to meaningful outcomes. Not only did I know I would have eternal regrets if I didn't make an effort, I couldn't think of a better way to live up to the sacrifices of the "41 Fallen".
As a result, I put the word out, and stars seemed to align when several people told me I needed to talk to a remarkable person, who would end up helping create the organization. She happened to be a licensed counselor in her former career and had spent the past few years as an organic farmer. Christina Wolf would become Growing Veterans' Co-founder and continues to be the lifeline of the organization.
Since that first season and over the past three years, we have become a 501 (c) 3 non-profit and grown to over 550 members, 10 paid staff, and three primary farm sites, totaling 43.5 acres. We run a weekly Farmer's Market stand at the largest VA Hospital in the Pacific Northwest and produce annual yields of nearly 40,000 pounds of vegetables. We've certified over 30 trainees in our new Peer Support Training program, launched in January 2016, in order to facilitate a culture of peer support that extends beyond our fields. We've been fortunate to receive two national awards for innovation, as well as positive marks and continued evaluations by the federal VA's Health Services Research & Development (HSR&D) Center of Innovation of Disability and Rehabilitation Research (CINDRR). Individuals and groups from over 30 states around the country have asked us to help them create a project like ours, which has led us to begin developing a robust training program that will invite groups from around the United States to come and learn our model.
We have certainly been busy. Our progress and our successes are largely due to the incredibly hard work and perseverance of our dedicated staff and volunteers, as well as the powerful support of our donors. Growing Veterans would not exist without each and every one of you and I could not be more grateful. You have helped turn an idea into a reality that has made a positive impact on hundreds of lives. A lot has been accomplished, but there is still much work to be done.
I am honored and blessed to play the role I have so far, and I am excited about the future of Growing Veterans. With that, I am writing this letter to formally announce my role with the organization is transitioning from Executive Director, to Board President. I am shifting from everyday tactics and operations, to longer term strategy and governance. As a member of the Board, I will remain a spokesperson and advocate for Growing Veterans and will continue to assist with leadership development. I am redirecting my time to living out my commitment to the 41 Fallen, to the 15 others from my unit who have suicided since, and the 18-22 veterans in the United States who suicide every day, by providing direct therapy to the veterans who have been impacted most by combat trauma. As I mentioned, my long term mission has always been to become a licensed counselor and I cannot think of a better way to pay it forward, than to perform the very service that likely saved my life and my marriage, seven or eight years ago. More importantly, I will be able to spend more time with my family, who have made sacrifices of their own to support me and Growing Veterans.
I write this letter with utmost confidence, because I know this is a perfect opportunity for the organization to stand on its own merit, to empower the people behind it to take complete ownership, and to bring us into our next stage.
I am eager to announce that over the past year, Growing Veterans' Development Director, Kenny Holzemer, has been preparing to assume the role of Executive Director and help lead us through these next stages of development. Kenny is retired from the Navy, an MBA, and one of the most caring and competent individuals I know. Over the past few months Kenny and I, along with Christina Wolf, have spent countless hours together. We have had several discussions with our staff, and we are ready to see Kenny in action as our new Executive Director. I hope you will have the chance to get to know him soon.
As Growing Veterans enters this exciting new stage of development, I want to say thank you for helping get us this far. I also want to ask that you reflect on what you might be able to contribute, in order to strengthen your support for our mission. We will need all of you more than ever.
If you are reading this as a volunteer, donor, advocate, or staff member—you continue to play a crucial role in the success of Growing Veterans' mission. I know from firsthand accounts that we are saving lives, but I also know that there are still veterans ending their lives every day. So I am asking that you continue to trust and support our mission of empowering veterans to grow food, communities, and each other-- to the fullest extent you are able. I know I will.
-Christopher Brown
Co-founder & President of Growing Veterans"
Thank you, Chris, for your selfless dedication to veterans.

I received an email about this piece in which the sender reminded me that Memorial Day was established to remember the fallen. I wrote back: "GV is tied tightly to Memorial Day to ensure that those who served do not become casualties to be remembered but productive and healthy citizens. The citizenry needs to know that. It is one thing to plant little flags, it is another to plant seeds."

Two brothers, one Army, the other a Marine.
They both had served and returned home.
One toughed it out.
One came back changed. No longer the carefree sweet kid, but withdrawn, moody and sometimes a little scary.
One day he disappeared. His brother went searching, taking his own dog. He decided to look at their favorite childhood adventure sites that they had long ago "conquered" in play and exploration. He heard his missing brother's dog barking and followed the sounds.
He found the brother, gone from this life, his dog staying by his side.
This Marine had been at the Beirut Barracks. His orders took him away from that site for a few days. He returned to horror. He did not recover. Survivor's Guilt? A handy title perhaps, but crushing in reality.
Thank you Chris, Kenny, Christina and Growing Veterans. You are needed.

Chris Brown is a hero and a visionary, whose brilliant new mission (Growing Veterans) truly serves so many who have not been properly cared for by our government, despite its promises, or, sometimes, even by ordinary citizens who don't understand the serious nature of Post Traumatic Stress. I have two family members who courageously served on the front lines of different war zones, only to have to be medically retired, afterwards, due to their PTSD. One barely avoided suicide before he began the long journey back to his new life. I cannot pretend to know what someone who survives life in a war zone experiences within themselves, but I can bear witness to how it has affected their lives "on the outside." Thank God for people like Chris, who are determined to prove that there IS a way through..

Zynga loses yet another high level executive – report
It looks as though Zynga has lost yet another executive, according to a report on AllthingsD. This time, its Jonathan Flesher, who was VP of business development and in charge of inking celebrity deals for the company, hobnobbing with the likes of Lady Gaga and Snoop Dogg. Last week, the social games giant lost CFO David Wehner, and recently COO John Schappert and general manager Alan Patmore, among others. It's getting to the point where it's only news if someone decides to stay on at the company. Thanks, Gamasutra.

Heartfelt tributes on social media sites have started coming in for 19-year-old Laura Jessop, who was killed in a car crash on the Masterton Castlepoint Rd on Monday night.
The other occupant of the car is still in a serious but stable condition in Wellington Hospital. Flowers and a cross reading "Love you Laura" have been erected at the site of the crash and friends have posted RIP messages on Facebook and Twitter.
"On Monday night a very beautiful friend of mine passed away. I was with her when I took the first shot in this collection of photographs. I am dedicating 'This City' to Laura Jessop. Rest in peace love x," Bradley Garner said.
"My heart goes out to the family and friends of the beautiful Laura Jessop, I didn't know her well, but I always admired her beauty. Keep your heads high and keep strong, nobody realises how delicate a life can be until it's taken," Britt Jones said.
"Laura Jessop, Such a tragic loss of life. To see one so young taken so quickly breaks the heart man ..." Ryan Coles said.
Ms Jessop attended Wairarapa College in her junior years.
Principal Mike Schwass said staff and students were extremely shocked to hear the "tragic news".
"In the short time she was with us she showed real potential. She was a capable and intelligent student and our thoughts are with her family at this time."
Ms Jessop's Facebook page listed some of her interests as music, films, books and fashion.
The Times-Age contacted Ms Jessop's immediate family but they did not wish to comment at this stage. Ms Jessop was the daughter of Carolyn and Peter and sister of Lucy, Jackson, Grace and Oden.
The accident reflects a bad year so far for road deaths in New Zealand.
Assistant Commissioner of Road Policing, Dave Cliff said the death toll on the nation's roads has reached triple figures, with the worst April in four years. "Frustratingly, it's still the basics - drinking and driving, going too fast for the conditions and not wearing a seatbelt, or a combination of all three that is needlessly killing New Zealanders on the nation's roads every week."

Without knowing it, we contribute to the visual web every day by uploading photos to our Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. With the incredible variety of image-centric data available online and updated daily, marketers are planning to fully utilize the power of images in their marketing efforts in the months and years ahead.
So What is the Visual Web?
Visual web is used to describe everything from the rise of social platforms like Instagram and Twitter, to visual search on Google, video sharing via Snapchat and visual dating apps like Tinder. The term was first popularized in 2013, when photo-centric trends emerged: Facebook acquired Instagram, Pinterest received a multi-billion-dollar valuation, and selfies and memes gained in popularity.
Yet, despite a general familiarity of the term, until now no one has attempted to define the visual web, or to better understand its role in modern-day consumer marketing. We have made it our mission to do both of those things, by providing an overview of the visual web, and assessing the impact an image-centric culture on marketing and advertising.
What We Did
In partnership with Brand Innovators, we went directly to brands to see how they view the visual web (no pun intended), its impact on consumers, and the ways in which they expect it to transform the way they market, both today and in the years ahead. We surveyed 213 active members of the Brand Innovators community. Here are some of our findings:
- More than half of those surveyed (51%) said they were somewhat familiar or very familiar with the term "visual web".
- 92% of them agreed that visual elements were somewhat important or very important to their delivering their consumer marketing initiatives.
- 84% of marketers said further advancements in image recognition technology are needed to unlock the full marketing potential of the visual web.
- When asked how spending on specific tactics pertaining to the visual web will change in the coming year, the highest anticipated increase will be in visual storytelling (54%) and social platforms (53%).
- When we asked about the importance of the visual web for the future of digital marketing, nearly everyone surveyed (96%) said it would be either somewhat important or very important.
We put all of our findings in a report called, "The Rise of the Visual Web. And How It's Changing Everything (Again) for Marketers". We invite you to download it here.

OAK PARK, Mich. - Overcoming racial overtones dominating the economic and political life of Southeast Michigan was the challenge MOSES, a faith-based social justice organization, put before the large group of clergy and lay people they had convened.
Rabbi Joseph Klein, whose Temple Emanu-El hosted last week's gathering, opened the luncheon discussion with a startling statement. Southeast Michigan, one of the most segregated areas in the country containing the country's poorest and wealthiest communities, was once considered "one community."
Today this region, where segregation leaves its devastating impact with huge disparities in jobs, education, health care and distribution of resources, is divided by seven counties and 240 communities.
Rabbi Klein asked how religion can help overcome these inequalities and how can we, as individuals, start the conversation.
Moderator Heaster Wheeler, the assistant Wayne County executive and former executive director of the Detroit NAACP, emphasized that racism is not a thing of the past but an ongoing event "woven into the fabric of the way we live and the decisions we make."
That interweaving was made startlingly clear when he described how local media advertised Detroit's annual and huge July 4th fireworks celebration.
To build the event, Wheeler said TV stations promised viewers in the Metropolitan area a "safe experience" if they came to the city. Stations emphasized the evening's 6 p.m. curfew for those 16 and under (unless accompanied by parent or guardian) and started showing some of the 284 young people arrested, most young and black, on the six o'clock news.
Some in the media were determined to say, "Come down to our fireworks because it's going to be safe."
"But what did you say to black people?" he asked. "We pushed awfully close to violating the spirit, hearts and minds of young black boys."
So began the lunchtime conversation on how to end those "violations."
Many sound ideas were offered and they ranged from the need for jobs (Detroit has lost two-thirds of its manufacturing facilities), the inequality in school funding, the importance of seeing regional common interests and much, much more.
That last point, understanding our common interests, was emphasized by Ponsella Hardaway, MOSES's executive director, who underscored how communities who opt out of regional transportation are not thinking about the long term consequences and how next the generation will be able to survive.
"We are people of faith and we need to push the values we have," Hardaway said.
Others noted problems with gentrification. While Detroit has lost population, efforts to stem that loss too often focus on gentrification instead of "appreciating" Detroit's long time residents.
As an example Wheeler noted how we celebrate entrepreneurs like Dan Gilbert and Peter Karmanos (businessmen renovating buildings and expanding hospitals in downtown Detroit) but if given the chance, there are "many Peter Karmanos and Dan Gilberts in every neighborhood."
Participants felt the next "conversation" scheduled for August, must be more specific and action oriented. To achieve diversity and overcome inequalities, deliberate actions are required, participants said, but the conversation is a necessary and worthwhile step.

We venture out like somebody trekking the Sahara Desert. John Isner and Marin Cilic were about to finish their match at Wimbledon, and preparation was crucial.
There was the chilled water bottle, the sunscreen for reapplying, even some of those dried food packs that become edible when you add water. We figured if a bonfire were needed later, we could find two sticks to rub together.
Isner and Cilic had already played 4 hours 15 minutes, and when darkness finally shut them down about 9:30 Friday night, they were tied in the fifth set, 10-10. There are no tiebreakers in fifth sets at Wimbledon. You jolly well don't tinker with tradition here.
Saturday was a perfect weather...

I want the header of the Twenty Eleven theme to be a random picture that I've already uploaded for this purpose. In my Media Library, I see several images that have the "Header Image" label next to them. However, when I go to Appearance > Header and select "Random", only the default images get cycled through.
In this same section, if I select "Choose Media," I get a list of images with only the option to "Show" on the right. By clicking on that, I get the option to "Set as Header" but that only sets one image as permanent header. Doing that and then selecting Random doesn't do anything.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Phoenix Suns
Suns Strokes: Offense powers Phoenix to fourth straight win
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 121-104 win over the Bobcats on December 19.
The Good:
The Suns extend their season-best winning streak to four games — matching their longest winning streak from all of last season — posting season-highs in points (121) and 3-pointers made (17). Former Charlotte Bobcat Shannon Brown hit five three-point shots, including four in the third quarter when he scored 18 of his season-high 26 points. Combining his efforts from Monday, Brown has scored 32 points in his last two third quarters.
The Bad:
Alvin Gentry called three fourth quarter timeouts, including two in the first 1:53, as the Bobcats went on a 19-5 run to trim what was a 29-point Suns lead down to 15.
He Said It
"They're a tough team. They never quit," Goran Dragic, who finished with 21 points and 11 assists,said of the Bobcats. "We fell asleep for just a moment and they make a run. Then Alvin put back the starters and we tried to finish the job."
• Suns improved to 4-1 on their season-long five-game homestand
• Suns have won three straight games by double figures for the first time since February 7-11, 2011
• Suns have scored 100 or more points in consecutive regulation games for the first time since November 7-9
• Jared Dudley recorded a 20-point game for a career-high third consecutive night. "(I) got a Kobe-streak going," he said following the game.
Up Next:
The Suns (11-15) visit Portland on Saturday, December 22.

Gorgeously sexy
Reviewed: May 18, 2015 by KLG, a Straight Going Steady Female
I bought these in the 3 for £10 deal, not really expecting much. However, they are fantastic.
They arrived in the usual discreet outer packaging. Inside, they were in just a clear bag.
My first impression was they looked a bit on the small side to fit my size 10 curves. But once I had them on, they fitted perfectly with the butterfly sitting nicely were it should.
The reaction they received from my OH was eye-popping.
Despite there scantiness, they are actually very comfortable to wear. I have worn them during the day as well as overnight and not experienced any discomfort.
When back in stock I will definitely be buying them in different colours.
- Pros
- Sexy yet comfortable.

- Nothing.

Imperial Fists Centurion Devastators by HomeOfCadaverWatch
©2013-2016 HomeOfCadaver
I have finally finished something after a long long time! Building up stuff for my Imperial Fists army, this time I decided to paint the models everyone just love to hate! Tabletop quality but I am just happy that I managed to finish something after all those unfinished projects. I would love to hear what you think and maybe leave me a vote on Coolminiornot here: www.coolminiornot.com/345867
Great work, I love extream weatherd marines.
Oh yea! They can do that!
Have they been feeling suspiciously itchy anywhere at all recently, or eating the cutlery?
one thing for sure, they wont scratch anything with those huge gloves on!
lovely. the weather and mud on this termanaught almost make it look real
Thank you! They are not Terminators though, they are the new Centurion squad for Space Marines!
Nice job.
I kinda like these models, they are the epitome of 40K, arrogantly large with an unfeasible amount of firepower also with the question:"what if he gets an itchy nose...?"
Haha! Never thought of this... I guess they got some specialized body augmentation for these situations
i hate the model and the concept behind the model. but i love your paint job. good job!
Thank you!
I originally hated the models as well but since I started working with them I kinda grew into me!

They are plastic and the kit is extra detailed and full of bits! Check them out!
Cool mini, excellent weathering effects

The weathering does indeed make this pop from all the space smurf shiny blue models the cents have. Now it looks like a proper warmachine!
damn that guy is beefy! love the details and paints. the weathering is also really top notch!
Wow. Impressive paint job! They really look like into the thick of the fight!
So robust! Sooooo cool! I like the worn age look.
They look really good, with all that dirt and grim. ^^

To achieve the advantages of a new technique (ISAM) for integrating the functions of time-division switching and frequency-division multiplexing, it is necessary to design filters that are somewhat different from those used in conventional switching and multiplexing systems. This paper analyzes the performance of ISAM filters. Since in the new technique signals are resonantly transferred between band-pass filters, the theory of resonant transfer for this general case is developed. The conditions for obtaining resonant transfer between ideal filters are determined and then the effects of using nonideal filters are investigated. An example is given showing the synthesis of a set of filters designed to meet ISAM requirements.

"Macclesfield" Macclesfield by b85abydoll
Macclesfield Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 40 photos
Macclesfield in the day time!!! Well it isnt very exciting to be told.
We have many buses going about which will probably arrive late if they turn up at all!!!
We have a wonderfully small train station which can take us to lots of beautiful places which arent Macclesfield!!!!
The good thing which we have are lots of shops in the town centre which include River Island, Next, New Look etc, were i tend to spend alot of money! If you then run low on money we have a poundland and you can get some pretty good things from in there for only a pound!!!!
For the healthy people we have a leisure center with a fully equipped gym, tennis courts, swimming pool etc and there is now JJB super Gym for the healthy people with money!!! and it is very high class and exclusive, so obviously i have never been in!!!
We also have a cinemaish, its one screeen in the heritage center but it plays the upto date films which is an added bonus but they dont do the cinema style popcorn!!!!
We have 2 big parks in Macc which are called West Park and South Park! Wonderful names i know!!
West Park is the most exciting out of the two. It has a really big playground which is fun for all ages as i still play on it!!
There is a bowling green, crazy golf, half pipe and a bmx course!!
Every August they do a Party in the Park which consists of different tribute bands playing this year it will be Blondie, The Beatles and ABBA.
I went for the 1st time last year and it was such a good night! basically the bowling green is over taken and where evr you can find space and you park yourself there for the night and you can bring your own food and drink so you dont need to pay the prices at the burger bars etc!!!
They also do a Family fun day a couple of days after the party and there is shows going on in 3 different arenas, stalls everywhere, fairground rides, childrens shows, food bars and a beer tent - woohoo!
South Park is smaller but it has a duck pond, half pipe, a small playground, tennis courts, and a basketball court. There are bigger fields in this park and better for walking dogs!!
Very scary walking through it at 4 am tho as there are no lights.
I work next to this park so we get to go in there alot to take the children to feed the ducks so we get to see it in every season and it is so pretty now, its had a revamp!
It is so pretty in summer when all the flowers are at their fullest.
Nightlife in Macclesfield is okish if you cant be bothered to leave Macc!
I advise everyone on a night out to start the night in Wetherspoons at Park Green!!
This pub is where everyone goes to get the cheap drinks, they have just made it even better as they play music in there, were as before it used to be a roar of talking!
They do pretty good scampi and other foods there to start the night off!
Then you can move up mill street as there are lots of pubs on the way from old locals to modern top notch ones such as Barracuda which was the old Littern Tree!
Chicago Rock is a pub you should go in just for a drink before going on to preachers or cuba.
Chicago plays music from the 80s, 90s n nowadays and there is a little dancefloor so you can have a boogie if you really feel the need!!!
Preachers is where i usually end up and it is a small one floor club. There is sitting as you enter and then the rest is dancefloor so everyone can have a little space of there own to enjoy themselves.
It does take a while to get served as its only a little bar.
I usually just stick to the local pubs as you dont get all the drunken idiots who just want to fight over nothing!!!
Im trying to sell it best as i can but ive lived here for 21 years and im just bored with it!!!
To everyone else it will seem like a lovely little town with beautiful hilside views and it is a nice place to come and visit!
So take a trip to Macclesfield you may like it!
- Pros:Lots and lots of pubs brilliant for pub crawls, that close you can crawl out of one and fall into another!!!! River Island
- Cons:Nothing else to do!!!!
- In a nutshell:Sorry i just cant sell it!!!!

Cycle Coast to Coast
We cycled from Douglas to Peel....from East to West Coast (and back)...oh my aching butt!!! It was great craic. Now, you could cheat and get the bus from Douglas to Peel but why would you want to do that? ;)
It is very doable even if you're not that athletic. Just take your time.
It's only 11 miles between the two towns, but it always seems longer on the way there.
Equipment: We hired 2 bikes for £10 ea for the day from Eurocycles in Victoria St, Douglas. I thought that was pretty good value.Related to:

The Isle of Man Half/Full Marathon
The people on the Isle of Man seem to be very athletic, there are so many sport events. When I was there the Half/Full Marathon was being held in the north of the island and I took part. I ran the half-marathon and finished full of admiration for those who did the whole round once again.
This event is organised by the Isle of Man Veteran Athletes Club. Sign-up fee was £ 18. The organisation was excellent, from a free shuttle bus between Douglas and Ramsey, to organizing the course and to the very good free buffet afterwards.
The course went from Ramsey up north to Bride and through Andreas Village back to Ramsey, a little more than 13 miles.Those who ran the full marathon had to do it twice. Sometimes it was quite hilly, not all of the north is flat.
There was some rain and the wind was pretty strong, but alltogether we were lucky with the weather.
It was a wonderful event, very, very well organized!
Equipment: Running shoes, which shouldn't be completely new ,of course, but any other equipment is not necessary. That's what I like about running, once you have the shoes you can start. All other equipment is nice, like pulse watches, special clothing etc, but not absolutely necessary.Add to your Trip Planner
