Well, I have been studying like a mad woman for the past week for tests in my anatomy/physiology and medical terminology classes. Very condensed and a ton of information to learn in a very short amount of time. I swear I read the chapters like three times in the anatomy class and ended up getting a C on one and a B on the other one. It was like I drew a complete blank when those tests were put in front of me. On the second one (B), I thought I only missed one, but ended up missing four and was in complete shock.
Okay, so now comes the next two tests in medical term and I get a perfect score on those, go figure!! So weird how our brains can retain some things and all the other stuff just must fly out of our ears or something.
I realize I shouldn't complain about a C and a B, but for an almost 35 year old woman going back to school, I want to be an example for my kids and when I don't get an A, I feel like a failure. I shouldn't feel that way, but can't help it. I set high standards for them, therefore, I need to set high standards for me too. I suppose maybe I am being humbled, okay I accept, now allow my brain to function again please! (Think that will work?).
I find that as I get older, I am so much more forgetful. I want to kick my own ass for not applying myself more when I was in high school. I could cram for a test 10 minutes before the exam and ace it. Now I have to read things over and over and over and over. Heck I picked up an old magazine the other day and read an article that I thought was very good and didn't realize I had already read it until I was almost finished with it. Kind of scary eh?
And at last for the it can only happen to me category.....I was running late this morning for work and ending up spilling coffee all over my only clean and ironed pair of pants, which happened to be light in color. I truly do not have time to change, so off I go with my stained pants to work. On the way to work I realize that I have a "tide to go" pen in the van. Once I get to work, I am desperately trying to rub this stain out with the pen. I applied too much pressure and the tip breaks off and out spills all the solution onto my pants. Of course I now have a coffee stain and a huge wet spot on my pants. Once it dries, I realize it sure did get the stain out, along with the rest of where was once a light beige color. That spot is now super white, white. So instead of having a coffee stain I have a bleach spot. Should have just left it alone. The lesson learned here is don't use too much of the "tide to go" pen on your clothing. Or is it, don't press so hard to hurry the process along and break the tip of the pen off?

When people complain about the lack of parking in downtown Madison, Overture Center for the Arts president and CEO Ted DeDee can relate.
His job doesn't have a reserved parking spot, so about a dozen times a year, when he finds the Overture lot and nearby city parking ramp full, he drives to the Dane County parking ramp on West Main Street, or sometimes all the way to the Government East garage on East Doty Street, about a half mile away from Overture.
Despite the downtown parking crunch, he's optimistic about the possibilities of a proposed hotel on the 100 block of State Street.

Question about 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse
The turn signals do not work on a 1997 Mistubishi Eclipse but the hazards do. Is there a separate fuse for the indicator stick on the colomn and if so where can I find it?
Posted by jones4smiles on
The turn signal and hazard flasher unit is located in the multi-purpose
fuse panel located under the driver's left side knee protector. They are
replaced by simply pulling them straight out. Note that the prongs are
arranged in such a way that the flasher must be properly oriented before
attempting to install it. Turn the flasher until the orientation of the
prongs is correct and simply push it firmly in until the prongs are
fully engaged.
Hope helps (remember rated this).

Welcome to January's Stellar Book Review, the place where I like to share news of the wonderful works of Indie authors that have graced my eyeballs.
This month, I am reviewing the second instalment in the Sixty Minute Reads Series from Dave Johnson. You can read my review of the first instalment, Atomic Number Sixty, here.
This instalment follows the same punchy template as the first, sixty chapters long each taking about sixty seconds to read – a format that I thoroughly enjoyed.
The Blurb
The billionaire Mengistu is running a competition with a ten million dollar prize fund: 60 minutes, 60 players, no rules, a straight fight to the death. Massacre of the Sixty attracts only the depraved and psychotic. Can Holly Holloway survive the carnage to discover more about the shadowy agency "The Hollow Falx"? It's gonna be brutal, it's gonna be violent, it's what she's trained for.
Our heroine, Holly Holloway, has been entered into the Massacre of The Sixty by the secret agency she works for on a fact finding mission. 'The Hollow Flax" and the depraved pedophile, Mengistu, who runs it are operating under the radar and worrying them deeply. Holly's task is to find out as much as she can about the organisation without dying. Perhaps not such an easy task given the nature of the self-describing contest.
The author has given himself the unenviable task of fitting an entire story, including character background, into this short and limiting template but he does it with panache. We follow Holly in the days and hours running up to the contest and get to understand her drivers for surviving the contest of society's most depraved occupants. We feel her guilt at the death of an innocent man during her last mission. We watch her oh-so-normal home life with her humorously bickering parents, waving her off to her 'office party' without concern and we watch as she inflicts justice onto a slime ball guilty of disrespecting her best friend.
The contest itself is pretty gruesome, you'll need a tough constitution to read some of the ways in which the fighters meet their end but these chapters are nicely peppered with reliefs of humour which more than make up for the cringing you'll do whilst visualising brain splattered walls. At this point, I have to give the author a 'hats off' for thinking of so many bad guy names, over sixty of them. Good effort.
Dave's writing will draw you in, you'll find yourself reading faster and faster as each chapter draws to a close and then the book will be over and you'll almost breath a sigh of relief. I say almost as the author has left some loose ends for you to sweat over (I've already had words with him about this on your behalf!) so you'll be chomping at the bit for the next instalment to arrive, he assures me there will be answers there. Hurry up Dave!
Massacre of the Sixty is available from Amazon UK in paperback here and on Kindle here. American fans can find the title here.
If you haven't read the first instalment, Atomic Number Sixty, it is available from Amazon UK in paperback here and on Kindle here. If you are reading this in America, you will find the title here.
Remember, a book review is food for an author's soul. If you read and enjoy Dave's book, please let the world know by writing a review on Amazon, Goodreads or your preferred platform.

An MP has died after she was shot and stabbed in a "horrific" assault in her constituency, police have said.An assassination in Britain, with a firearm?
Jo Cox, Labour MP [Member of Parliament] for Batley and Spen, was left bleeding on the ground after the attack in Birstall, West Yorkshire. A man was arrested nearby.
One eyewitness told the BBC they heard her attacker shout "put Britain first" at least twice beforehand.
Tributes flooded in from politicians including David Cameron, Jeremy Corbyn and US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Mrs Cox's husband Brendan said she would want people "to unite to fight against the hatred that killed her."
Mrs Cox, 41, is the first sitting MP to be killed since 1990, when Ian Gow was the last in a string of politicians to die at the hands of Northern Irish terror groups.
I think that England may be hanging around with the wrong sort: A mindlessly violent bloke with a firearms fetish: the good old US od A.

Thank you,
I indeed browsed the thread you mention and now consider initiating an action in court. I already asked my bank to act before Paypal to reverse the payment and I will sue TTD.
My order was originally a gift for a friend's birthday...I am very disappointed.
This Miki plays with fire, definitely, I am not the one who is gona stay quiet and forget this.
This guy is about to become as famous as the most wanted wrong-doers in the world !
Why isnt on the www any site dedicated to such scam apart from your thread which I found doing a google research ?
Isn't any way to initiate an action against this corporation ?
I recently bought an airsoft rifle from WGC and had no problems, the price was even lower for an item that has been discontinued.

Yes, those are models on the cover of Vogue's September issue. Joan Smalls, Cara Delevingne and Karlie Kloss, to be exact.
Anna Wintour and her well-heeled minions seem to have accepted digital media's clout, because these aren't just any models; they're among nine "models of the moment" with significant social media followings. The magazine repeatedly and very blatantly dubs them "Instagirls."
Arizona Muse, Edie Campbell, Imaan Hammam, Fei Fei Sun, Vanessa Axente and Andreea Diaconu round out the extended pull-out cover, which was shot by photographer Mario Testino.
"I am so proud to show you my first @voguemagazine cover with the gorgeous @joansmalls @karliekloss shot by @mariotestino @tonnegood @lucia_pieroni @hairbychristiaan #theseptemberissue," British model Delevingne, 22, wrote on Instagram, posting a pic of the cover.
Kloss, 22, echoed the sentiment.
"It is an absolute honor to be a part of @VogueMagazine's #SeptemberIssue along with @CaraDelevingne and @JoanSmalls. It has always been a dream of mine to be on the cover of #Vogue, words cannot express my gratitude and excitement to be a part of the #INSTAGIRLS issue. Thank you @mariotestino and @tonnegood! xoxo karlie," she wrote.
"I've waited for this Moment all my career and it's finally Here!" Smalls, 26, wrote, also sharing a pic of the cover on
Models on covers, eh? A while back, magazine editors got savvy to this idea: Recognizable celebs on covers sell more copies than less-recognizable models do. In recent months, this particular glossy has touted actresses Blake Lively, Lupita N'yongo and Emma Stone.
But rather than positioning the latest "It" celebrity on the fashion bible's thickest issue of the year, Wintour made what's old new again with its "Instagirls."
This isn't Vogue's first declaration about the importance of social media. We're looking at you, hashtag-laden Kim Kardashian and Kanye West cover.
Even so, previous September issues have featured Jennifer Lawrence,
The last time a slew of models was featured on the notable September issue was in 2004, when a similar array of high-profile models saw the spotlight.

Member Workshops
New York City Agent Q & A
Equity Members and Equity Membership Candidates (EMCs) filled the Actors' Equity Association Council Room in New York for a Q & A Panel Discussion with Equity Franchised Agents on November 4th, 2010.
By setting workplace standards, creating fair compensation and protection from discrimination, Actors' Equity, over the course of 100 years, has made a profound difference for actors and stage managers. As a benefit of membership, Equity presents free educational workshops and seminars for Members and Membership Candidates. The event was sponsored jointly by the Eastern Region Membership Education Committee (Mark Aldrich, Chair) and the Agency Committee (Judy Rice, Chair). Panelists were: Liz Rosier, Hartig Hilepo Agency; Mark Schlegel, Cornerstone Agency; and Ken Melamed, Bret Adams Agency. The moderator was Councillor Judy Rice.
Ms. Rice told attendees that the purpose of the session was "to demystify the relationship" between actors and agents and "remind all of us that it is a relationship and a partnership that you create when you work together." What emerged from the discussion was that there are no absolutes in the process, no definitive answers or rules; the system is subjective and much depends on the situation and the people involved. Nevertheless, the agents continue to seek out new talent and are as happy as the actors when the actors get the job.
Here are some highlights:
Equity has established franchising regulations that permit talent agents to represent members for theatrical employment. To become a franchised agent, one must apply to the Equity Agency Department and fulfill a number of requirements. Those requirements include having a commercial office space, financial information, letters of recommendation, State incorporation documentation, State license, professional resumés, Agency office inspection, etc. Then the application is reviewed and a recommendation is made to the appropriate Regional Board. "Don't put your name on any piece of paper that involves an agency without checking with Equity, especially if you have any doubts as to whether or not they hold an Equity Franchise.," stressed John Fasulo, Equity's National Director of Membership. "Never pay anyone unless they have gotten you work. When in doubt, call Equity!" For more information on agents and a list of Equity Franchised agents visit the Agency link within the Members Only section of the Equity website.
Regarding personal managers, Equity staff cautioned that the Union does not have jurisdiction over personal managers. If you choose to sign with a manager and you are dissatisfied, please understand that, because Equity has no authority over managers, Franchise protections and rules do not apply.
What is the best way to find an agent? "I don't know the best way. You can do your mailings and your photos and other actors can refer you. I don't know if there's one set way," said one agent. Call Sheet (formerly Ross Reports) is one way to go "so you're not sending yourself to the wrong people." Also, the agents said it was important for actors to do their homework-to address the agent by name when writing and to know what kind of clients the agent does or does not represent.
How do you handle submissions for representation? "I open and look at my own mail" said one agent, "and have brought people in based on submissions. And personally, I prefer mail to email." Another agent said, "I look at submissions, specifically the referrals. I'm looking for reasons why a particular one should be pulled out of the pile. I tend to go through email submissions faster than mailed submissions."
What does an agent look for in a new client? The answers emphasized that an actor should, "Just be yourself. Do what you love and keep working on projects. The best scenario is that someone is going to see your work and they're going to feel passionately about you and you'll connect. Can you clearly and concisely convey who you are and what roles you are right for?" One agent specified: "Don't try to second-guess what an agent wants, because I probably don't know precisely what that is."
What types are you currently looking for? First agent: "We don't search out a specific type or category. You just never know when someone's going to hit you and it's really going to work. If there is someone we are interested in we'll try and find a way to make it work." Second agent: "I am less mindful of what you look like than the texture of your work. We all are always looking for great actors - somebody who is exciting." Third agent: "Client relationships are built on much more than broad stroke types e.g. age, sex, ethnicity, and look. Choosing to work with an actor is not a clinical exercise, or an exact science. It's not about specific attributes; it really is a texture thing. Much of how we do what we do is based on instinct. Funny enough, we're never looking for new clients, but we're always looking for new clients. It's a strange dichotomy -- there's not room for one more but all of a sudden, miraculously, there is, when you find that one. While we can't allow ourselves to get oversubscribed, as it's not fair to existing clients or to the new person coming in, every once in a while you will say, 'oh what the heck, let's take the leap.' "
What do you want in a cover letter for a headshot and resumé? One agent summed it up, "You personalize it; it needs to reflect you in an interesting and personalized way. Also, referrals should be emphasized in the cover letter."
How detailed should information be on a resumé? "It should be very easy to read and neat. If I start to get lost looking at a resumé, I will stop reading it." Another agent added " and uniform -- a uniform layout makes it much easier to read."
Are there particular acting schools that you like seeing on a resumé? "I just want to see a great actor. Perhaps a particular school may help when one is just starting out, but a great actor is a great actor." "It's a short-lived piece of information and great actors can come out of any program."
College credits on a resumé - when do you take them off? "You eliminate credits as you build up credits. Everyone starts with a blank slate and slowly adds and subtracts."
What about photos? Two agents offered this advice: "It's got to be a picture that grabs you, it's your calling card, it's what gets you in the door and gets us to turn it over to look at your credits. Whether it's a head shot or three-quarter shot, it must be something that's going to interest us to the point of going to the next step." Head shots and three-quarter shots are more popular in New York, whereas full body shots are more popular in Los Angeles. And, "the picture must look like you today; that's a big thing." One agent was a proponent of just the head shot, "I feel the three-quarter shot diminishes your power, providing less impact to your face."
What about out-of-town work? The agents agreed that it is important and one agent said: "Regional theatre is fantastic. You meet playwrights and upcoming directors; it's where you establish a lot of relationships. I think it can be a great experience."
The agents also agreed that it is important that actors work- even at low paying jobs, showcases or short films. "Work is work. Work is good." And, "Work begets work and you're more confident auditioning."
How much of getting the part is based on knowing someone vs. sheer talent? The agents all agreed, "We don't know - we wish we did." It was agreed that knowing someone has tremendous value, but you have to have the talent to back it up.
How should an actor respectfully inform his/her agent of roles for which he/she is hoping to be submitted? An agent responded: "Know who you are and what roles you can really play; be discriminating and polite."
What about "paying" to meet casting directors and agents? The agents recommended that you research both the organization presenting the "meeting" and all of its participants, then weigh the cost against the potential value.
How long do you traditionally freelance with an Actor? One agent responded "A freelance relationship equates somewhat like a 'dating period'. Ultimately it depends on each party. We might freelance for a very short or very long time or forever. It depends on who the actor is and what's going on in the business." Another agent said, "It's difficult to give an exact answer; it really varies from person to person. Some people want to freelance. It just depends on the individual."
After an audition or callback is it appropriate to ask your agent for feedback from the artistic team? One agent remarked, "One of my colleagues says that, 'Your feedback is the callback or the job'. Casting Directors are often so busy, it's sometimes difficult to get feedback." Another agent weighed in saying, "Ask, but sometimes it's just not possible. It's important in the beginning to get feedback but it becomes less important as you learn to read the room. Your own radar can become pretty acute. But when it's that job, and you want to know you kicked it out of the park - I want to know that, too!"
The final question was: What are you most proud of as an agent?
Liz Rosier: "I'm in love with actors. I've never wanted to be an actor. I've just always admired actors and think you guys are really brave people and I'm in awe of you. I'm really proud to be an agent, to advocate for people who I believe in and believe in art, and to have good relationships with my clients."
Mark Schlegel: "I'm proud because recently I celebrated my 20th anniversary with four clients. I can't believe they've stayed with me and they still listen to me and they still talk to me. I don't do anything but sell people's skills. And, when people out in the world ask, 'How do you make a living? When do you make money?,' I say, 'When they get the job.' So, I'm proud that I've stuck it out for 28 years in this crazy business."
Ken Melamed: "More than proud, I would say what excites me is when my instincts are right about you and when you get that job, whether it's your first Broadway show, or whether it's an Off-Broadway show, or a big movie or something else that's fantastic. I'm also proud of my relationship with my clients. I love actors. I can't believe that you do what you do. I don't know how you do it."

UNLIKE Yasmin Alibhai-Brown (TES, June 18), I don't believe that Margaret Thatcher's attack on the Inner London Education Authority in the 1980s was primarily to decimate anti-racist and multicultural education. Rather it was to expose the scandalously low standards which ensured that the many ethnic minorities in these schools failed to achieve their full potential: a view enthusiastically pursued by New Labour.

Another Turkish provocation was reported by Athens on Tuesday morning, with the former charging that a Turkish patrol boat bump a Greek coast guard vessel at roughly midnight the previous evening near the Imia sea region in the eastern Aegean.
The specific maritime region, which includes two rocky outcrops, the Imia islets, or what official Turkey has called "Kardak" since early 1996, has seen a spike recently in Turkish military activity.
Τhe Turkish vessel departed the area immediately after the incident, according to reports, while the Greek coast guard patrol boat arrived in Leros for minor repairs. No injuries were reported.
The incident is the latest instance of Turkish aggressiveness in the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean, all in light of an ongoing Turkish military operation on foreign soil, northwest Syria.
Speaking to his ruling party's Parliamentary group on Monday, increasingly authoritarian Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said "no one should think that we're not aware of opportunistic initiatives in relation to rock islets in the Aegean, and exploration for natural gas off Cyprus."
"From here, let us warn whoever exceeds their bounds in Cyprus and the Aegean not to make a wrong calculation," Erdogan said.

Getting The Best Camper Trailer For All Your Travel Needs
Brisbane camper trailer are one of the most interesting ways in which you can travel and see the country. This is because they bring in the comfort and convenience that you would experience at home to your travel. However, a camper trailer is one of the most expensive vehicles in the market. Therefore, you need to take time and plan carefully before you start shopping around for camper trailer. Below are some of the choices that you will have to make when getting a good camper trailer.
New Versus Used camper trailer
This is the first choice that everyone buying a vehicle has to make. The advantage that comes with buying a new RV is that you are sure that everything you see is what you will get. Unless there are defects that came from the manufacturer, new RVs will not carry with them the extra burden of having to deal with inherited vehicle issues. On the other hand, new RVs are really expensive to buy.
If you decide to go for a used RV, you will have to deal with some of the complications that come with not being the first owner of the motor home. Some of these problems could be mechanical and others could involve appliances such as the propane tanks, water tanks, seats, toilets and the gas stove. However, if you want less trouble with motor home, you should take your time and inspect it properly. In case there are any problems, ask the dealer for an alternative with fewer issues. The great thing about buying used RVs is that you get to enjoy a lovely camper trailer at a reduced cost. As a matter of fact, you can get a camper trailer that has been used for 2 years with as little as 60 percent of the market value.
The cost and condition of RV
As mentioned, the cost of the RV depends on among other things, whether it is new or used. Besides that, RV costs depend on the model, the size and the appliances that come with the particular model. When thinking about the cost of the camper trailer, you need to note that you will also have to get insurance for the vehicle and that you may have to rent RV parking sites and make other tow truck payments. Take time and visit a renowned dealer. Sit with them and discuss the entire costs involved in the acquisition of a camper trailer. This will help you figure out whether you can manage the budget or not.

Artist Tim Forrester (Robert Beatty) learns from his brother Dave (William Sylvester) that their third brother, newspaperman Lewis, was killed in an automobile accident in Italy. A young actress, Alison Ford (Terry Moore), also died in the crash. Lewis was working on a story that might have brought him into the sights of a crime syndicate, so there's some question about the "accident" part of the crash. A Scotland Yard inspector (Geoffrey Keen) would like to see a package that Lewis was supposed to have mailed Tim and learn if it can tell him anything about the deaths, but Tim soon becomes the target of the investigation when someone he knows is killed and the death appears linked to Alison Ford -- who, in fact, may not be dead after all.
Although twisty in the telling, the plot of Postmark winds its way pretty straightforwardly, like a somewhat low-rent version of a Hitchcock suspense thriller. The cast all handle their roles competently, but the screenplay rarely calls on them to do more than react to situations or conversations and so they aren't stretched very far. Director Guy Green keeps a lot of the action inside different apartments, lending an air of a stage play to the movie but also emphasizing the way that Tim's lack of knowledge confines his actions. Probably the most interesting thing about Postmark is that it is the big screen version of a 1955 British television series of six half-hour episodes that tell the same story, called Portrait of Alison. Screenwriter Francis Durbridge saw the same pattern for a 1952 story, but if the twin release of big screen and small screen versions of the same story was some kind of experiment, it ended with Postmark. Quite possibly because even though it was in movie theaters, it still feels very much like a TV movie, and why would you go pay for a ticket for something that you could watch at home for free?
The 2009 crime/martial arts movie Clash (Bẫy Rồng in its native Vietnamese) takes this story with a slight twist, making our bad guy a bad lady, actress-singer Victoria Ngo Van Tranh. She is Trinh, codename Phoenix, a mercenary enforcer forced to finish a set of jobs for crime boss Hac Long (Hoang Phuc Nguyen) in order to be reunited with the daughter she saw for only a few moments at birth. Hac Long wants her to steal a laptop computer holding secrets to a Vietnamese satellite, and she hires a mercenary crew to help steal it from some French mobsters. Among them is Quan, or Tiger, (Johnny Tri Nguyen), who has his own motives for trying to get in contact with Hac Long and lay hands on the laptop.
Tranh and Johnny Nguyen are both appropriately earnest in their roles, although their situations and the story are bleak enough that they don't have to hit many notes in their performances. They do generate some on-screen chemistry (this was their second movie together after 2007's The Rebel), and both are more than adequate athletically for the punching and kicking parts of the movie. Hoang Phuc Nguyen performs the requisite evil machinations we need to advance the plot and drive the hard choice for Tranh. Of the cast, she is probably tasked with the most acting work and she brings it off passably well.
Much of the appeal for Vietnamese audiences was the reunion pairing of Tranh and Johnny Nguyen. The former is a multi-platform star, with a string of hit albums and TV movies to her credit, as well as a successful talent agency and the management of a Vietnamese hit boy band. The latter grew up in the U.S. and began working as a stuntman in American movies before returning to Vietnam and making it big as an action movie hero who regularly sets box-office records. For other audiences, Clash is an action martial arts movie that doesn't ask much of viewers, but doesn't insult their intelligences either, or pretend to be more than it is.

I am Victory. I rise from the bondage of the crates which contained the parts of chairs used in this art installation. Rescued from oblivion. Never to become an actual chair. These parts together celebrate the ingenuity of "Victory". So let our hearts and minds identify that we are one people. One face, one race - the human race - VICTORY!!!
I am The Guardian. The perfect balance between compassion and protection, I am a tender, nurturing Soul. Place yourself in front of me, near my feet and reach your hands up. Now you are two years old, looking up at your parent for love, guidance and protection. Experience the protection I provide and step behind me because I'm poised and ready for battle. My hand is balled into a fist, on guard. I am here for "Victory".
As the Soul Man, I am eternity. Hands comfortably folded behind my back, I am patient not menacing. I will teach you that we should celebrate the life we do have. And from that life we must also respect that the Great Silence will follow. This is reflected in the my translucence. You never know when I will appear.

Chanel is deeply committed to pursuing ethical and ecologically sustainable practices in design and chooses to collaborate with like-minded individuals.
Curators Statement
Victory is the tangible presentation of Steve Farland's vision to evoke the latent power within the chair, an everyday object he has worked with over his entire career. With the effort of Master Builder/Artist Brian Sartor, Canadian born artist, Steve's vision was brought to life as limb by limb these giant soldiers emerged from heaps of broken and abandoned chairs. Steve's intimate connection to the chair allows him to understand its presence as deeply rooted in a historical journey from tree, to seat, to junk, and then to an artistic space beyond. Playing on the themes of fragmentation and rebirth, Victory creates bold enigmatic characters out of dull, used chair pieces, demonstrating how fragmentation, ruin, age, and pain can be reshaped and presented as brave, evocative figures. In its refusal to let chairs be an idle seat of comfort, Victory activates these used chairs to redefine their function. These chairs no longer offer a place of repose but rather they reach out, reminding us to find solace in action and the ability to stand up and lift ourselves from the rubble. The sculptures beseech us to offer up our seat in the efforts to build something, which may provide great comfort and support to humanity, compassion and empathy. -Chanel Host Curator April 2018

Time: 5:15 am
Date: Saturday, June 17, 2008
The mission (because we are both nuts and have wandering spirits) that we had chosen to accept: a day trip to Mount McKinley ***DENALI***
After synchronizing our watches the night before, Ang and I agreed that she'd pick me up at 5:15 am and we'd hit the Glenn Highway heading north for an all day adventure. The itinerary was to drive to Denali Park, slowly make our way to mile 30 inside the park, then head home. The 17th was the last Saturday we'd be able to drive into the park before they opened it for the official start of the tourist season. After last weekend, the only vehicles allowed on the road are the tour buses that run visitors to the park back to Wonder Lake, the end of the road of Denali Park.
While Ang had her hopes set on seeing the Big 5 of the park (bear, moose, Dahl sheep, wolf and caribou) and a lynx she'd heard tales of others sighting, I was excited just to be in the park again. The only time I'd been there before was the trip Alex and I made when we won the road lottery last year in September (the same trip we got engaged in the park on).
If there is one thing I could tell tourists about going to Denali, it's this: don't get so caught up in the big game you hope to see around the next bend that you miss the little things that are right beside you. We saw an abundance of snow hare and ptarmigan (you've got to hear them give their warning sqawk, it's hilarious to listen to). We were lucky enough to see a red fox and catch him in the process of marking his boundary. We saw ground squirrel, which I'd never seen before. We did see plenty of caribou and even a moose and calf eating their fill of freshly greening buds. The surprise and excitement of the trip came in the form of a round porcupine crossing the road in front of the car on our way home. Ang was so excited to get a pic that she pulled over, made her way through calf deep, half melted snowbanks, followed the prickly fellow into a glade of trees (one of which he promptly climbed to get away from his pursuer), and managed to get a few pictures of Mr. Quills through the tree branches. It really was about the little things on this trip.
Our itinerary was changed, as it often is on the Cristine/Ang road trips. We took a side trip to Nenana, a village a little more than an hour north of Denali Park, to a restaurant called Monderosa. Ang had been told that they claimed to have the best burgers in Alaska. I don't know if they do have the best burgers in ALL of Alaska or not, but they were pretty good, and very large. We both left very full, and she was all for my suggestion to go through the park one more time before we headed home.
On the second trip through the park, we experienced every form of weather pattern Alaska has to offer. For the first 10 minutes, it rained. From mile 15 to about mile 17, it snowed. From mile 17 to about mile 21, it sleeted. From mile 21 to mile 25, it hailed (bb gun sized pellets that made me feel as if the angels in heaven were using the car for target practice). When we got to mile 30 and turned around, we drove back through cloudy skies that turned to sunny skies. A rainbow even greeted us half way back to the park entrance. I kept joking with Ang about something good being at the end of the rainbow, and I'll be darned if there wasn't a group of caribou at that rainbow's end!
We didn't get home until after 1, but we had the moon to enjoy on the trip home. We drove for 21 hours, but it was well worth the 700+ miles Ang put on her car's odometer and the exhaustion I felt the next morning when it was time to get up and head down the Seward Highway to start a hike that Ang had planned on Sunday.
We've decided to book a camping spot at Savage Campgrounds for the July 4th weekend. We are going to take the bus to Wonder Lake (we act like total tourists, and have no shame about it) not once, but two times that weekend. Hopefully, Ang will get to see her Big 5, and I'll get to once again enjoy the ever changing beauty that Denali Park has to offer every time I go.
Just a side note.... I found out when I got home that 10 separate teams of climbers were in the process of beginning the climb to the summit of Denali when we were in the park. All I can say about that is WOW... I'm going to check on their progress.
Thoughts, ramblings, experiences and joys of an Alaska girl. Home is where the heart is, and my heart is firmly rooted in the Great Land of Alaska.

Tonight, while my brother & his fiancee are at a concert - DH & I are watching Power Rangers and Tom & Jerry with the Kids. Good news is I did get some knitting done during all these adventures. The 1 side of my tea cozy is done, my last ankle sock (even though my toe graft looks a little wonky - I need to get better at this or try toe up next time) and I cast on for the striped candy cane "santa's helper" hat for my nephew for Christmas (another from the Itty Bitty Hat book).
Tea cozy really is pretty cute - the top edge is fluted with eyelet holes - so I can thread a ribbon through once I finish the second side and seam it up.

West Palm Beach — U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta said Wednesday that public corruption cases have a much farther-reaching impact than damaging confidence in government.
They hit the economy, too. As an example, Acosta pointed to recent revelations of how Lennar Corp. is trying to back out of a deal to develop the Palm Beach Aggregates property near Wellington -- a deal included in the public corruption probe into former County Commissioner Tony Masilotti.
The property's owners say Lennar either must live up to its contract or forfeit a $70 million deposit.
"We're not talking about small sums here," said Acosta, who was appointed by President Bush last year to be the chief prosecutor for the Southern District of Florida, which covers Key West to the Treasure Coast.
"When you observe the byproduct of corruption and what it does to economies, you understand it goes far beyond betrayal, it goes far beyond the loss of confidence, to have real impact," Acosta told Leadership Palm Beach County, a volunteer group of community activists and political types.
Of Masilotti, Acosta noted: "Hundreds of millions of dollars may be unwound by one man."
Palm Beach County has been wracked by scandals. In addition to Masilotti, two West Palm Beach city commissioners -- Jim Exline and Ray Liberti -- pleaded guilty in federal prosecutions.
And County Commissioner Warren Newell is under fire for his role in several land deals.
Acosta's speech was billed as a primer on how Palm Beach County could move to a "culture of ethics," but Acosta said federal prosecutor guidelines prohibit him from advocating for a particular policy. He did say it's important that people convicted on corruption charges face stiff sentences rather than probation.
Light sentences send a signal that "you may be prosecuted, but you're not going to go to jail," he said. "That's contrary to deterrence."
Acosta didn't tip his hand about any future public corruption indictments in Palm Beach County.
"It's important that we be diligent, that we not be rushed in our investigations," he said.

FOR THE 10th YEAR IN A ROW!
When I was young, I always remember thinking that 40 seemed soooo old....now, it is just a number. I am so blessed to share my special day with my best friend and sister Tara. We have had a crazy year to reflect on.....
- Tara is now cancer free
- Our father is recovering wonderfully from quadruple bypass surgery
- Our mother is recovering from bowel surgery and a serious thyroid condition
- My beloved husband started a new job after searching for over a year to find the right one and doing whatever he had to do to provide for his family
- Payton is medicine free for the 1st time in 5 years~having immunity deficiency disorder, it is a huge accomplishment!
- Sydney is very excited about having her visit to the orthodontist and getting her teeth fixed!
- Lacey is doing fabulous at college-growing and maturing while miles away. She has become such an amazing young woman, we are so proud!
So all in all, turning 40 is like a drop in the bucket!

But most people don't know why Angelina, who uses her Middle name, Jolie, as her last name, named her daughter Vivienne Marcheline.
Marcheline is Angelina's late mother, Marcheline Bertrand's name.
As for Jolie and Pitt's son, Knox Leon, rumor has it that it is a combination of the middle name of Pitt's grandfather, Knox, and Jolie's great-great grandfather's name, Leon.
The birth, in Nice, France created quite a stir and the town's mayor made Jolie and Pitt honorary citizens.

If finding a job is at the top of your 2018 to-do list don't wait until 2 January to get started. While the month of December can be super busy and stressful for us working mums, it can also be a great time to take a few steps toward your New Year's resolutions and start building momentum for your return to work.
Last week I could physically feel overwhelm creeping in, as I looked at my to-do list and wondered, "How on earth am I going to get it all done?"
Feeling run down, exhausted and like everything is a bit too much is actually quite frightening. It was hard making decisions. It took forever to write simple emails. My mind went into overdrive, the noise and chatter waking me up at night. Was I was cut out for running my own business, should I get a job instead? What if nobody comes to my next workshop? What if it goes wrong? What if my business fails? What then? How was I going to pay my bills? I simply couldn't see how things could work or a way out.
Ready To Get Back On The Career Track? 10 Questions For Mums To Ask Themselves Before Looking For A Job.
So you've decided you want to start working again after being away from the workplace to raise a family. In my work with mums, I know that many of us tend to start by getting straight into implementation mode; writing our CV's, updating our LinkedIn profiles, trawling through job sites, and dusting down our interview outfits. But before doing all this, it's crucial to slow down, take stock and think about what it is you really want and need from your new job, and what you have to offer.
Most of the women who come to me for job search advice have a basic LinkedIn profile so they have some kind of online professional presence, but what many women don't realise is that LinkedIn is an absolute essential in their career toolkit, especially when it comes to finding a new job.
Work With Us!
Work Happy Mums is looking for a creative and dynamic marketing and communications professional to participate in a 12-week "returnship" programme. This opportunity is for experienced professionals returning to the workforce after taking time off for caregiving.
When you have an idea for a new business, you might feel like you have a lot more questions than answers. So I've put together a list of the most essential ones to ask yourself before you move forward.
So you have decided you want to create a work life that fits around the family and have a great business idea under your belt. Now what? How do you start out on your journey from mum to mumpreneur?
If one of your goals is to get back to work this autumn when the kids go back to school, now is a great time to get going with your planning. This way you can enjoy your summer while still making progress on your goals.
Here are 10 things you can do between now and the beginning of the holidays to get started on the right track and build positive momentum for your career reboot.
I have been thinking about the little voices we live with in our heads telling us every day who we are, what we can do, and just as importantly, what we can't. Yet while those stories we tell ourselves are often a long way from the truth, they have tremendous power to shape our lives if we choose to buy into them.
Mums The Word: Top 6 Reasons Why Taking A Break To Raise A Family Can Be Good For Your Career
We hear lots of stories about how starting a family works against a women's career, but what about when it works in her favour? Our very first list in our new 'Mums The Word' series rounds up six out of the many benefits a career break can bring.

The cost of medical attention is soaring. Bring it down with medical aid shortfall insurance.
Even if you have one of the best medical aid plans, you could end up in the lurch when it comes to paying medical bills. That's why you need medical aid shortfall insurance.
It's not that a medical aid plan won't pay 100%, but rather that the doctors or hospitals charge more than the medical aid rate.
Add in your annual limits, and it's not hard to understand how easy it is to run short of cover.
Medical aid shortfall insurance can help cover the deficit for you.
Medical aid shortfall insurance – Can you afford to be without it?
There are a lot of gap cover plans out there, some affordable, some expensive and some just cheap. It pays to stick with a company that has a well-established reputation.
Affordable, good value cover
Sanlam Gap Cover rates as both affordable and excellent value for money.
As for being an established company, Sanlam is almost 100 years old and is one of the giants of the financial services industry in South Africa.
What will it cost me?
Sanlam offers two gap cover levels. Standard cover at R125 a month and Comprehensive cover at R152 a month.
Can I join and what are some highlights?
- You must be a member of a registered South African medical aid scheme.
- Under the age of 61.
- You can include individual dependents on the application.
- The cover is available for your husband/wife/children as long as they are on the same medical plan as you.
- Your children cannot be older than 27.
What are the waiting periods?
As with all short-term cover, there are waiting periods that apply.
- You will not have any protection during the initial three months of the policy.
- Pre-existing conditions or maternity benefits apply only after a year.
What are the exclusions?
It is important to understand what the exclusions are when it comes to your policy. For example, the Dentistry benefit only applies the Comprehensive plan. Not included are elective dental surgery, cosmetic surgery and surgery for weight loss.
The only time cosmetic dentistry or surgery is allowed is when the cause is trauma or cancer.
Only in-hospital expenses are covered and visits to your GP or visits that occur as a result of your everyday medical expenses, are not insured.
Is gap cover for me?
With road accidents and crime rates being as they are, you might be be hospitalised at least once during your lifetime.
How will you be able to afford a shortfall that often exceeds the amount paid by the medical aid?
If you are a member of a medical aid plan and would like a single FREE quote for gap cover, submit the form on this page.

The Nittany Lions are now 8-0 and can clinch the outright Big Ten Championship with a win on February 10 versus Iowa. Sanford is 2-1 at No. 1 singles on the year, while Fukuda is 2-0 at No. 2 singles.
The Illini shot the ball well against Rutgers, connecting on 71 percent of their two-pointers, 40.7 percent from 3-point range and 73.7 percent from the free-throw line. Tomasello however wore down Kuhn and retook control with a 7-0 shutout in the second period. "So hopefully [we] keep her in front and do the best we can to limit her attacking the basket".
To the Illini's credit - and here is where this team has improved since its 25-point loss at Wisconsin on January 19 - they joined the dogfight with teeth bared. Lambdin and David Keefer set up Zach Osburn at the point where he let a wrister go that got through traffic and past Sean Romeo to make it 3-2.
The Buckeyes, however, struck 15 seconds into the second period and goalie Kassidy Sauve (26 saves) made the goal stand up in a 1-0 victory over UW in a Western Collegiate Hockey Association series opener. 149: No. 1 Zain Retherford, PSU, won by tech. fall over Ke-Shawn Hayes, 20-4 (7:00). At doubles, Broda & Miller have played one, with Crose & Spence at two and Chong & Ally Bojczuk rounding things out at three.
He finished with a game-high 35 points and 13 rebounds. Outside of the loss to Penn State, the Buckeyes have been pretty good at home. This enabled them to get a lead 30-15 with 10:11 left in the first half. IL is on a two-game winning streak, their first two wins in conference play this year.
The 2018 Big Ten Wrestling Championships will be held from March 3-4 at Michigan State University. Hall trailed Jordan 4-2 after the second period before scoring four unanswered points in the third period en route to the win.
While Martin acknowledged the importance of the dual and the attention it will receive, he's trying to compartmentalize his thoughts on what he needs to do against Nickal, who he will be facing for the seventh time in three years.
Cassar could draw the assignment at 197 pounds for Penn State against No. 1 ranked Kollin Moore.
In addition to holding Rutgers to 60 points, IL forced 25 turnovers and scored 37 points off those errors in the rout.
The dual, touted on social media as the "Super Bowl" of college wrestling, drummed up hype across the country, spiking ticket sales into the hundreds and leading Ohio State's coach Tom Ryan to call for the match to be relocated to the Bryce Jordan Center to accommodate a larger crowd. No. 6 Nick Nevills kept up with Olympic and World champion No. 1 Kyle Snyder in a 15-10 slugfest. Snyder's six takedowns fueled a 15-10 win, but it wasn't enough to prevent a Penn State win. 197: Anthony Cassar, PSU, December.
Winter Storm Forecast: Heavy Snow in Afternoon, Early Eve in NH

Don't Come Home - the Police State GrowsTopics:
Looking at The Garden of Eden is for me like time travel. It is a way of life so close to the way my best friend Lauri and her husband lived in America. They have been in Belgium for the last few years and are considering returning. I will be sending the below material for their consideration.
The incident (an early morning/day-long police/swat raid) is about choices we make for ourselves, the responsibility that goes with those choices, and those who don't like our choices. In my (not so humble) opinion, someone had a bee up their bonnet about these people and decided to make their life miserable with plenty of help from the Arlington (Texas) Police Department and SWAT team.
From GrumpyElder - SWAT Team Raids Texas Organic Farm in search of ,,, Blueberries - WTF - Excerpts -
A SWAT team broke through the gates of a small Arlington, Texas farm and led a massive 10-hour search of the property. The residents were handcuffed and held at gunpoint while they watched more than 10 tons of their property hauled off in trucks.
What dangerous contraband required this massive governmental response? It wasn't illegal explosives, stolen vehicles or drugs, but rather organic blackberry bushes, okra plants, and sunflowers.
The Garden of Eden is a 3.5-acre farm that promotes a sustainable lifestyle. Back in February, Arlington started complaining about possible city code violations. Officials said that the grass was too tall, bushes were too close to the street, and chopped wood wasn't stacked in a government-approved manner. Basically, HOA-style complaints where no homeowners' association exists. Continue HERE.
Statements by homeowner Shellie Smith and Quinn:
"They came here under the guise that we were doing a drug trafficking, marijuana-growing operation," owner Shellie Smith said. "They destroyed everything." She said that officers shielded their nametags so they couldn't be identified and didn't produce a warrant until two hours after the raid started.
Quinn Eaker resident -
It is absurd to punish or rule one on their personal path of freedom when it is affecting no one else. Do no harm: this is the Golden Rule, Natural Law, God's Law. This is what the constitution of the United States of America is based upon. Freedom and Responsibility.
Now the line may appear to be more blurry in our situation with the City, but it is not. If we choose upon our own land to have tall grasses that we juice and support the habitat of the many animals, bugs, birds and life here, then it is OUR choice and our RIGHT to make that choice freely. If we want to build our own home out of earth (which has been very well documented for thousands of years as being FAR superior to the common building practices seen in suburbs across the world of "civilized" countries today), it is our right to walk that path.
The only way freedom can exist is in responsibility. We are aware of this and do not expect anyone to be responsible for our well being. That is our Soul mission in life. To thrive~*~
If we want to build a home and we build it, then we are responsible for its function and performance. If it proves faulty or something happens to it, it is NO ones fault but our own, and we are the ones to bear the burden of the failure. Freedom and Responsibility. This is very simple, very easy, and it WORKS. The more complicated we make it, the more rules there are; the more taxation and lack of responsibility, the less freedom, the more hindered and the less life is truly lived. With great freedom comes great responsibility, and we do not want one without the other.
The pictures (that say a thousand words) hardly depict a way of life harmful to individuals, including the children involved, or society. Judge for yourselves.
WFAA 8 News - Search warrant/affidavit - GOE SWAT Raid Press Release - The Garden of Eden: Website - Facebook - make sure to view the facebook photos - Pinterest - Twitter
It is a mistake to view the Garden of Eden as some retro hippie type commune practicing peace and love and living off the earth counter culture life style. It is anything but. It is a chosen way of life in both personal needs fulfillment/sharing/responsibility/happiness, and what looks like a healthy and prosperous business. These people are thriving, not merely surviving, and someone tried to destroy them.
This a short two minute video. An in depth interview mostly with Quinn HERE.

Madison Square Garden owners seek 6,000-seat arena in D.C.
D.C. developers are scrambling to land a new entertainment venue under consideration by Madison Square Garden LP, owner of the famed New York City arena that bears its name.
The sports, entertainment and media company needs up to 100,000 square feet near shopping and public transit to accommodate the venue, which likely would feature 6,000 seats or more, according to sources close to the company. The Washington Business Journal first reported the news on its Web site Aug. 12.
Sources say the company is most interested in downtown D.C. or the Capitol Riverfront, the area surrounding the Navy Yard and Nationals Park.
Madison Square Garden began its search this summer, contacting the office of Valerie Santos, deputy mayor for planning and economic development, and major landowners, according to Steve Moore, executive director of the Washington, D.C., Economic Partnership, a public-private marketing arm for the District.
"They are shopping the District. … They're very interested," Moore said. "It's a question of finding the right spot."
The company is working with local representatives from law firm Arent Fox LLP. Spokespeople for MSG, Santos and several developers declined to comment.
Multiple development sites in D.C. could provide enough space for a major theater and support evening crowds with retail and Metrorail access. Moore, whose group contracts with the deputy mayor's office to attract companies, said he made presentations on sites near the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and Nationals Park.
Hines Interests LP is redeveloping the old convention center site in the middle of the city, and two locations in Mount Vernon Triangle could accommodate the project: Douglas Development Corp. can build up to 1.2 million square feet just east of the new convention center and has been pursuing an entertainment component, and The Wilkes Co. is building 2.2 million square feet just a few blocks east of that.
The riverfront offers multiple options, including Forest City's The Yards and Monument Realty's and Akridge's separate Half Street projects just outside the gates to the ballpark.
MSG owns sports teams, cable TV stations, entertainment venues and acts. Its holdings include the New York Knicks, Radio City Music Hall, the Rockettes dancers and the Radio City Christmas show. It could soon earn more autonomy from its parent, Cablevision Systems Corp., which voted in July to spin off the company.
In recent years, as a division of Cablevision, MSG Entertainment has added entertainment venues annually and begun venturing outside its New York City stronghold. In 2006, the entertainment division purchased the 2,800-seat Beacon Theatre in New York and a year later added the Chicago Theatre, a 3,600-seat venue.
Last year, MSG Entertainment announced an agreement with the Citi Performing Arts Center for programming at the Wang Center in downtown Boston.
The string of theaters allows MSG to negotiate multiple performances by a single act. A similar venue in D.C. with national booking power would likely provide competition for places such as the 1,600-seat Warner Theatre, owned by Live Nation Worldwide Inc., and the 3,702-seat DAR Constitution Hall, owned and operated by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
More competition could also hurt city-owned facilities. D.C. owns the 1,200-seat Lincoln Theatre on U Street NW that is in need of renovations and a stable revenue source. In April 2008, Mayor Adrian Fenty announced that the city was seeking developers to build housing and event space for the theater in its rear parking lot, but the idea "was put on hold when the economic crisis rose its ugly head," said Janice Hill, director of the U Street Theatre Foundation Inc., which manages the Lincoln.
An MSG venue would "represent some direct competition for us," Hill said.
Arena rock: Big to small
FedEx Field: 91,000 seats
Nationals Park: 42,000 seats
Verizon Center: 20,000 seats
Wolf Trap: 7,028 seats indoor and outdoor
DAR Constitution Hall: 3,702 seats
Warner Theatre: 1,600 seats
9:30 Club: 1,200 standing room

Okay, it may be a little inappropriate to tell this story but when has that ever stopped me? Anyway Lou's been dining out on it for a couple of months so it's no secret in my circle. I'm not sure what came over me when I attempted to try and convince my fourteen year old that I was, as near as damn it, a virgin. After all it seems that way at times. Not quite on a par with Mary, Mother of God, I told him. There'd been one slip off the path of purity and he, of course, was the result.
Lou told me very directly that he wasn't at all convinced and I thought that was the end of the matter. Little bit of nonsense done and dusted. But no! He returned to the subject a couple of hours later because he'd downloaded three lie detector apps to his phone. I was subjected to the barrage of tests which included one that scanned my finger and one that supposedly analysed my tone of voice. I can't recall what I had to do for the third. However I remember well that the results were unanimous. Apparently I'll be growing a nose like Pinocchio sometime soon!
