Arizona Shooting: Democratic Deception
Saturday, January 15, 2011
Two weeks ago, exercising his frustration with the Democrats' failure to connect with the American People, liberal Projo columnist Bob Kerr accused Republicans of playing hyper-politics by jokingly predicting that Republicans were likely to "play politics [with] the sunrise" sometime in 2011.
Either Kerr is delusional, or is practicing one of the oldest and most prolific tactics of propaganda ever devised - accuse your opponents of your own misdeeds.
Without a doubt, Kerr's comment was frustrating for Republicans to read because, well, Democrats politicize everything. How embarrassing it will be for Kerr to be reminded that, while his comment about Republicans was made in jest, Democrats actually do politicize natural occurrences. After all, we're talking about people who try to score political points off of hot summers and hurricanes.
In addition to the issue of global warming, the nation now knows that the Left will politicize even the slaughter of one of its own party members. Just several hours after Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head at point-blank range, scores of liberals nationwide scrambled to blame talk radio and Sarah Palin for the incident. Accusations of over-heated rhetoric, and calls for the regulation of right-wing speech, instantly saturated the media haze.
Right here in Rhode Island, the progressive Governor Chafee is using the Arizona massacre to wage a war against local talk radio. And only hours after the shooting, Brian Hull of RIFuture.org was one of the first to attack Republicans and Sarah Palin for being responsible for the incident. But, thanks to the Internet, it was quickly becoming known that Jared Loughner was a special sort of nut; that he had no ties to any conservative groups; and that one of his friends called him a "liberal" and "left wing" and "a pot head."
Hours later, Hull's post was conspicuously scrubbed from RIFuture.org. Hey, I wonder if the Projo could scrub all of Bob Kerr's columns.
This is how Democrats fulfill their own calls for "toning down the rhetoric" – by charging Republicans of being accomplices to murder.
Of course, the Left's rush to judgment was just another desperate attempt to find some actual evidence that conservatives, talk radio, and the Tea Party represent a dangerous and violent political movement – rather than just political opponents who annihilated Democrats at the polls last November.
The Left's latest outcry and their calls for censorship against talk radio and Fox News has nothing to do with the shooting in Arizona. Rather, it has everything to do with their inability to appeal to American voters, and their compulsion to smear their opponents and shut down debate. Democrats need to establish the only political scenario that allows them to thrive – a situation where Republicans are not allowed to speak.
As this writer has said before, all liberal ire is ironic and/or phony. Democrats lie consistently by exercising selective outrage over a myriad of issues. For the past several days we have seen Democrats act appalled over nasty statements and violent metaphors used by Republicans. But for every example presented by a Democrat, Republicans returned with a similar sample committed by Democrats. In fact, the latest tally showed that Sarah Palin's "cross-hairs map" was exhibited four zillion times on two thousand media outlets. Conservative pundits responded by presenting to the public the Democrats' own "bull's eye map" that was used in 2004 to target Republican-held seats.
As far as "over-heated rhetoric" goes, Democrats have some real zingers. Never accompanied by liberal outrage, of course, left-wing activists have joked about Sarah Palin being "gang-raped" and sexually groped by John McCain; they have created works of art that portray the Alaskan governor being punched in the face and shot in the head; President Bush suffered the production of T-Shirts, signs, pins, stamps, books, and movies that advocated for his assassination. DNC Chairman Howard Dean has called Republicans "evil" and "brain-dead." And in 2005 he stated, "I hate Republicans and everything they stand for." Liberals were curiously unconcerned with the "over-heated rhetoric" at the time. But maybe they were too busy running from al-Qaeda.
Democrats' collection of vile words and actions is impressive. "I wish cancer on your children and their children and that you live long enough to see them die," wrote one anonymous progressive to Central Falls School Superintendent Frances Gallo after she fired dozens of unionized teachers last year. When President Obama publicly supported Gallo, an effigy hanging of the black President was discovered in one of the Central Falls classrooms. No objections were cast by the Left's ordinary drama queens.
After the death of Ronald Reagan, scores of progressive bloggers celebrated by saying such things as, "[Reagan] is an ugly soul burning in the deepest bowels of hell, where his fat will crackle and his bones will crack forever and ever in agony...amen." One progressive asked, "Does anybody else love the fact that Reagan is a rotting corpse?"
Democrats are not the soft-bellied liberals that they have come to be mocked for. The Democrat Party is comprised of hard-core radicals, who are unflinching to all levels of indecency and violence, and play politics at every moment of their existence in order to survive within a center-right democracy. Concerned with the plummeting popularity of President Obama after the 2010 elections, and nostalgic over President Clinton's ability to "reconnect" with the voters after the Oklahoma City bombing, Democratic operative Mark Penn told Chris Matthews on MSNBC that "Obama needs a similar kind of event." Welcome to the sick and twisted mind of the modern-day Democrat.
Lies and deception are the only tools left for progressives struggling to remain competitive within a democracy marked by a conservative voting population. A recent 2010 Gallup poll revealed that 42% of Americans self-identify as conservative, while only 20% self-identify as liberal.
What else would one expect Democrats to do, but play politics with the slaying of their friend and colleague?

A Hampton officer attempting to make a traffic stop was struck by another vehicle Thursday afternoon, an official said.
The crash happened just before 2 p.m. at the intersection of Magruder Boulevard and Hardy Cash Drive, according to police spokeswoman Cpl. Ashley Jenrette.
The officer was attempting to make a left turn when he saw a traffic infraction. The officer activated his emergency equipment and attempted to stop the vehicle, but he was then struck on the passenger side by another vehicle. The impact caused the police vehicle to crash into another vehicle that was stopped at the light, Jenrette said.
The officer was not injured in the crash, she said. A person in one of the other vehicles complained of an injury, but he or she declined medical treatment, she said.
The officer's vehicle was damaged in the crash and had to be towed from the scene, she said.

Imaging company Canon said it has introduced a video camera which can see in the dark, just about.
The ME20F-SH is aimed at specialist applications including capturing wildlife at night, deep sea exploration, astronomy and surveillance.
The camera can be installed in a semi-permanent location and be controlled remotely. But because it's a specialist unit, it will only be available to certain of Canon's partners.
The camera allows you to capture colour full HD video without the need for infrared illumination.
The machine has a 2.26 megapixel CMOS sensor and a DIGIC DV4 processor – it includes Wide DR settings and Canon Log.
Canon did not say how much the lightweight device will cost.

Bitcoins, which have gained tremendously in value since Cyprus depositors were denied access to their funds, reached a high of $265 today before losing 44% of their record-high value and falling back to $150.The following is an excerpt from Techcrunch*:Bitcoin is undergoing a classic correction after quintupling in price over the past 30 days. The currency, which was trading as high as $265 earlier today on Mt. Gox, plummeted and is now trading at around $150. We've reached out to one of the biggest exchanges, Mt. Gox, to see what happened. But another San Francisco-based exchange called TradeHill is saying that the crypto-currency is falling because of apparent distributed denial of service attacks on Mt. Gox and Bitstamp. A denial of service attack happens when an attacker overwhelms a target with external requests, so that it can't honor regular requests from legitimate users. This also happened last week when Mt. Gox when Bitcoin reached $142 and hackers attacked the exchange. At that point, Mt. Gox said it had suffered "its worst trading lag ever."http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/10/bitcoin-crash/I sure wouldn't like to have purchased my Bitcoins at today's highs. I wonder who the "lucky" folks were.With everything that's been going on with central bankers and politicians, the rapid devaluation of the yen and denial of access to one's accounts in Cypress, it's not surprising that folks are searching for alternatives to the present fiat currency system. So far, Bitcoins and Gold are the apparent candidates of choice for alternative currencies. I like the idea of an alternative currency that can't be manipulated by bankers and politicians (I have a bit of an anarchist streak). However, an alternative currency that can be manipulated by computer hackers isn't my idea of a fitting alternative.One of the Gold alternatives is the Swiss-made "Combi-Bar" gold bar made up of 1 gram sections. If you want to trade using small increments, you can just "break off" a piece (section) and keep the rest.http://www.apmex.com/Product/73975/50x_1_gram_Gold_CombiBar_...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2251757/Fancy...So far, I haven't seen much about the genuinely most technically feasible "alternative currency:" Silver.At today's silver prices, a single gram of silver is worth about $1.00 US. A Silver Combi-Bar seems a more practical form of "alternative" than gold. Either that or old "junk silver" coins.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_grams_of_silver_in_an_oun...http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_grams_in_one_ounce_goldThere has been much written about how physical Gold or Silver are much better than their electronic counterparts.In any event, as many on the board have suggested, the US Dollar itself is thus far a beneficiary of the dislocations in all the currencies and their alternatives (much as the US stock market has been a beneficiary).I wonder when people will start considering saving physical US Dollars, to be more desirable than the electronic ones that bankers have at their disposal - and that governments can confiscate electronically. Electronic US Dollars vs. physical US Dollars vs. electronic Bitcoins vs. physical gold (or silver) - now that makes an interesting comparison.;-)*Hat tip to Zerohedge for the link and information.

The ART AFRICA FAIR is structured around a dynamic curatorial programme with an open call for participation to artists and gallerists. Unlike other commercial fairs, our curatorial model favours an alternative, museum-styled exhibition experience that invites artists and gallerists to propose work that provokes alternate artistic visions of the continent, as defined by individual, lived experiences. This diverse curatorial approach is an attempt to transform vernacular African ideas into tangible expressions, to challenge stereotypical understandings, and to introduce, propagate, and take responsibility for new representations about Africa, from Africa. As participating curator Uche Okpa-Iroha describes, "Our story starts with us. It is an exciting journey, and who better to tell it?". Buy your tickets at Webtickets

The Web is used everyday by millions of people from all over the word, but is dying a slow death. It should be made clear that this is not about the Internet. The World Wide Web and the Internet are two different things. The Web is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) where documents are stored by hyperlinks. It is a fancy way to describe a web page like Google, Youtube, or Reddit. The Internet is the global system that connects all computers and phones too. The Web is inside the Internet.
Recently Google began to crack down on users that use the popular software AdBlock on Youtube, meaning viewers could no longer skip ads as they had done previously. This caused huge backlash, but people quickly discovered how to once again get around the ads.
So why did Google decide to start cracking down? It is simple: money. YouTube generates money from having ads on its site (Google bought Youtube for twenty-nine billion dollars in 2011), but with more people using AdBlock and other software to stop ads, Google is losing money. Almost all ads on the Internet come from Google.
Apple is the third competitor. They are dominating the market with iPhones, iPads, and Macs. With Firefox, Apple allows users to block ads, but only Google's ads. This is driving a stake right into Google's revenue. Apple is getting money from their products and their apps. Users can not block ads from Apple on Apple's aps.
And guess who else is doing this...
Facebook does not allow you to block ads on their site either, including the app version. This is because mobile is roaring ahead; there is an app for nearly everything. If someone makes an app for Apple some of the revenue is cut, but hosting apps on Android (Google) is free. You can do and make whatever you want.
If companies cannot make money, the Web will become a lot less active and innovative than it is today. The tech titans will battle it out for control as long as they have money, but technology is trending towards mobile.

I have had nothing but GREAT experiences with this company! The manager satisfied my every need. He helped me put together a custom package which included t shirts, stickers, and hats. Great quality and fast service. I won't go anywhere else!
We had a great experience working with this company. We ordered about 350 shirts (various colors). The order was accurate and on time!
Shone was extremely helpful with the artwork, order specifications, invoicing and the pick-up process. Great customer service, very personable and worked with our timelines. I would recommend this to anyone!

K-1 fighter Musashi held a press conference on August 26th in Tokyo and revealed that he is hoping to retire after this year's K-1 World GP.
He is "hoping" because Musashi hasn't got the right to compete in this year's GP. There are three spots left in the tournament and the fans are casting a vote on the K-1 home page to decide who gets to fill in these open spots, and what Musashi meant here was, if he didn't get chosen by the fans, then he might just retire without any more fights.
He explained, "Ever since 1995, I have been doing this for fourteen years, so from around July, I began to think, OK I have to draw the line somewhere, then by end of August, I did make my decision to retire. Winning a world GP has been my goal, and a dream ever since I made a pro debut. This year, I still haven't fought yet, but my injury is healed, and I am in my best condition. Right now, I think I can achieve what no other Japanese fighter has done, which is to conquer the GP. However, I don't have a right to compete in this year's GP. Therefore, I would like to use this opportunity to ask all fans and people in this business, to consider giving me a chance."
At this point, Musashi's last fight is, vs. Gegard Mousasi in the Dynamite!! on NYE 2008. He was KO'd in the first round but also was fighting with a injured hip joint. He didn't even compete in the Asia GP because "I wanted to concentrate on treating my injury."
If Musashi gets chosen by the fans to compete in this year's GP more than likely many fans and experts would criticize the voting but Musasi thinks, "If I get to have a chance, then I just have to concentrate on coming out with good result from this chance."
This year's K-1 World GP will begin, with 16 fighters, on September 26th in Seoul, Korea and if Musashi doesn't get picked by the fans for this opening round, "If no, then I am not thinking of the next chance. I have already decided, so I am going to stick with my belief". Apparently he is implying retiring if he can't get a spot in Seoul.
However, K-1 Event Producer Sadaharu Tanikawa told the reporters, "Even if he didn't get chosen, he is a person of merit for K-1, so I would like to stage some retirement bout. We have a GP, and there is Masato's retirement bout on NYE so this year is difficult though….."
PIC: K-1 Event Producer Sadaharu Tanikawa said, "Musashi never said no to the opponent we offered, and he always fought for K-1 even with an injury."

Alick Macheso's Biography
Alick Macheso came onto the music scene as a solo artist in 1998, with his debut album Magariro, which carried "Pakutema Munda ", probably the least noticeable from that album. But the first cut never received any recognition and the following year he was to release Vakiridzo. Similarly, the response was lukewarm and in the coming 12 months, he went back into the studio and came out with Simbaradzo.
Simbaradzo was to be the turning point is his career and Mundikumbuke and Amai VaRubhi brought Macheso into the limelight. He was to follow on the success of Simbaradzo with Zvakanaka Zvakadaro. He can dance, sing and play the guitar - a rare combination of skills among musicians. Zvakanaka Zvakadaro was followed, in 2003, by Zvido Zvenyu Kunyanya. The popular Zora Butter dance in 2011 is Macheso's initiative.
Macheso was born in 1968 in Shamva, 90 kilometres to the north of Harare, to parents of Malawian origin - a fact that was to inspire him to be able to speak and sing in five languages - Shona, Chichewa, Sena, Venda and Lingala. Growing on a farm, especially before Zimbabwe's Independence from Britain in 1980, the environment did not offer him many opportunities. In 1983, at the youthful age of 15, he left the farm compounds of Shamva to head for the dizzy lights of Harare.
Arriving in the capital at the invitation of a relative, who had been inspired by Macheso guitar-playing prowess at the farm compounds. The two went on a music-inspired journey, joining several bands, mostly sungura-playing outfits.
In 1997, he broke ranks with the Khiama Boys fronted by Nicholas Zakaria, to form his own Orchestra Mberikwazvo.
He is well known throughout Southern Africa as one of the most
successful singers and ranked among the best bass guitarist on the
continent. He is Zimbabwe's best-ever selling artiste with his album
Simbaradzo being the highest ever sold album in Zimbabwe, a record which
is yet to be broken by any artiste in Zimbabwe to date. Macheso is one
of the best sungura artists ever to emerge from Zimbabwe. In recent
years Macheso has risen to become an advertising face for many
corporations with his recent achievement being an ambassador for the Red Cross.

The typical American diet often contains too much omega-6 fat and not enough healthy omega-3 fat like that found in fish and flax oil. Excess omega-6 fat can stimulate inflammatory pathways and contribute to a wide range of medical problems. Help counteract the excess omega-6s in your diet by taking a tablespoon a day of organic flax seed oil. A proper balance between omega-3s and omega-6s is vital for overall health.*
Certified Organic Flax Seed Oil provides a vegetarian source of alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 essential fatty acid you must obtain from your diet. Your body naturally converts this fatty acid to EPA and DHA -- the same types of omega-3s found in fish oil.* Just one tablespoon provides approximately 7.6g of omega-3s.Great for skin, joints, heart and immunity Omega-3s play a role in skin and joint health, heart health, immunity, hormone balance, behavior, athletic performance, cell membrane structure and over 1,000 other biological actions.*
Add a tablespoon of Organic Flax Seed Oil to a protein shake and its bland taste will almost be completely masked by the protein. Another benefit is the fat in flax seed oil helps slow the digestion of a protein shake to keep you full longer.
Another way to use flax seed oil is to drizzle it on a salad. Just add a little vinegar and you'll have your own oil and vinegar dressing. This helps you combat the excess omega-6s that creep into your diet as many salad dressings use high omega-6 oils such as safflower, sunflower, soy or canola oil. All of these oils have higher omega-6s than omega-3s.
You can also take it right from a spoon. It has a convenient easy-pour spout creating a fine stream of oil to help you regulate how much oil you want.
We think the answer is yes. We have a regular strength and extra strength fish oil softgel that provides from 300 to 500 mg of omega-3s (EPA and DHA). To help counteract excess omega-6s in your diet, a single tablespoon of flax seed oil contains 7,600 mg of omega-3s (ALA), which is 15-25 times the omega-3s in a fish oil softgel. For this reason, flax is better at balancing the omega-6s you consume. Yet the type of omega-3s in fish may be preferred for brain health for example, which is why we think both fish and flax have a role in your diet.*
So be sure to give flax seed oil a try. Our Organic Flax Seed Oil is carefully crafted from certified organic flax seeds, then pressed and specially bottled to protect the delicate oil from free-radical damage. The result is a fresh-tasting golden oil that is never bitter. Guaranteed!
Take daily and get your omega-3s back into balance!*

We headed out to the Bay Area to go to the BYU-Cal Berkeley game, which we were really excited about, then less excited as the season progressed, then... it's a surprise! Keep reading to find out how the game went. We were out in California for Thanksgiving and got to spend some time with Hazel's favorite peeps.
|We took this picture with the plan to send out a Christmas card. Don't worry about the fact that you didn't get one. It's because we never sent any. Or even made an e-version to post on social media (which was plan B).
|Only calm at the Thanksgiving table if Uncle Casey would hold her. And feed her candy, probably.
|True fans. We even braved the Cal section for the game, which led to some extra-good times.
|Loved sitting with Grandma.
|Someone had to teach her the fight song. Which we sang at each touchdown. Which we had more of than Cal. We won! Go Cougars!
|Hazel really likes the Wheatleys, especially Lisa's bling.

I had to research a bit to get the traditional taste of this Kerala- Christian dish. We used to get it from our Christian neighbors during Christmas time. In the conventional way Orappam is prepared in a special made earthen pot (ഒരപ്പ ചട്ടി) and baked with coconut shell charcoal fire. I used preheated oven and oven safe tray instead. The taste, I would say is close to the traditional method even here…
The recipe Mathi pollichathu-more specifically Mathi Vazhayilayil Pollichathu (മത്തി വാഴയിലയിൽ പൊള്ളിച്ചത്) is a traditional healthier way to prepare this fish, using very little oil and the same time benefiting for the fried fish taste. This preparation will taste wonderful on those seasons when you get Sardines having extra fish oil in it.
Ariyunda (meaning "rice ball"), another authentic Kerala delight, prepared typically for festival occasions and family gatherings. These sweet semi-hard balls made of coarse grind roasted rice go well as a tea time snack or snacks. The preparation uses boiled brown rice (well known to be "Kerala –rice") for its authentic taste and texture.
Ela Ada (valsan), a typical Kerala sweet recipe, traditionally made of rice floor. Grated coconut mixed with jiggery (brown sugar) is filled inside the rise dough, which is layered on a banana leaf. It is then steam cooked in an idly maker or steamer. In this preparation here I used wheat flour instead of rice flour, but the rest of the steps remain same.
A traditional Kerala Sadya (feast) curry delight-Mambazha Pulissery is unique with its blend of sweat and sour tastes. Mambazha pulissery is typically served as the traditional sadya side dish, to go on the side of the coconut leaf, but can also go as a main-curry-mix with boiled rice.
Making a healthy recipe without relaxing on the taste is always challenging. Regular cake recipes always use all-purpose- flour as its main ingredient, which is known to be a trouble maker. In this recipe, I used whole-wheat instead, along with one of the best known healthy nut variety, walnut as enrichment, making it a perfect delight for kids and elders.
Here is another custom recipe, this time a sweet and chewy dessert dish "Pumpkin Halwa". The preparation uses jaggery as a sweetener along with grated coconut milk and ghee. I used minimal quantities of richness ingredients, to make this dish healthier. If you wish consider adding more of milk, ghee and coconut so that the halwa will be still more tastier.
This is a surprise recipe from Pepper2Salt! .An accidental one since my "achappam" preparation gone flop because I didn't give enough time to prepare the "Achu". So I end up having the batter which I invested bunch of ingredients and a bit of my time and effort Any way towards the end, I got this wonderful puffy & light-sweet snack recipe which I am sharing right away.


text: are guppies and shrimp compatible. even more so, will they pick on the shrimp babies if they reproduce? and if im looking to get a really good growing community of shrimp going, what are the easiest to care for / breed. they wont be in a specialized "shrimp only tank" but i would be willing to make some minor changes to my tank to be able to make them comfy.

I am working on a project for my grad program on Dr. Benjamin Mays. I am learning so many interesting things about this man who was committed throughout his life to the training of men. It has been encouraging and inspiring.
Mays served for 27 years as the president of Morehouse College. He coined the phrase "Morehouse Men", which is still spoken with honor to this day. He impacted scores of leaders in politics, business, and ministers of the Gospel. Dr. King is probably his most famous student.
As I search, I find more and more that is intriguing about this man who grew up in poverty in South Carolina and went on to get his Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Chicago.
These words tell of his perspective:
"I have never done anything for the purpose of being honored, to have my name on the front pages of the newspapers,I have done what I believe I was sent into the world to do: worship my God and serve my fellow man."
Julian Bond,Morehouse graduate and former president of the NAACP, summed him up by saying: "First he built himself, then he built Morehouse Men."
God uses people to impact people. But it starts with personal formation of ones character.

Picture: Michael Jackson Press conference and tour announcement held at the O2 Arena London, England - 05.03.09
A group of Michael Jackson fans is meeting with Los Angeles councillors to discuss the future of a building named in the singer's honour.
Officials at Gardner Elementary School, where Jackson attended classes in 1970, opened the Michael Jackson Auditorium in 1989 in tribute to their most famous pupil.
But they decided to cover up Jackson's name with plywood in 2003 after the Thriller hitmaker was accused of child molestation.
Now Jackson's fans have launched a campaign to have his name reinstated on the building, claiming the late star shouldn't be punished as he was cleared of any wrongdoing at his 2005 trial.
The group has collected more than 2,000 signatures and will meet with the Board of Education to plead their case next week (begs18Oct10), reports TMZ.com.
Since no one will ever see the epic show, the next best thing is this...

The journey from human to athlete: a collection of notes from my tribulations learning how to walk, then run, then FLY!
Wednesday, July 18, 2012
VASA Rocks!!
But more importantly, I feel like I have turned some kind of corner with the running. Suddenly, I began having god run after good run, each better than the last. I am handling my long and fast work easily and wanting more. I am looking forward to it as a fun experience rather than a chore to slog through.
I had a two hour bike ride on the schedule for tonight but the loaner shoes had bruised my ankles and cut into the soft tissue so badly on yesterday's long ride that I got about 15 minutes into the ride and had to limp home. The pain was blinding! So without a second thought, I shot DW a text, rotated Friday's workouts to today and changed into running clothes.
On a whim, I took the VASA trail instead of the TARP (a paved multi-use trail) trail today. It was a fabulous hike/mountain bike trail through the woods (northern Michigan style- deep and beautiful) and the run was epic! I did 7.8 miles and it was over in a blink. I was running fast and light, not even feeling fatigued until the last sandy hill at the end. I loved every minute of it and at the end felt like I could take on the world.
On one of my runs about a week ago, I clicked over into a slightly more athletic way of traveling. I am picking up my feet a little differently. Not just more quickly but in a different way. I am not sure how to describe it other than to say "lively". I can certainly push me to a higher heart rate but I think it is the doorway to faster running and since I seem to be adapting to the elevated intensity just fine, I am going to roll with it! It is the difference between a pained shuffle and a brisk run. The latter is exhilarating, fun, and something I want to do over and over. It's also about a minute and a half faster per mile for the same perceived effort.
Not sure what to make of this but I like it. I'll take it!
A GIANT shout out to my friend Scott who just finished Badwater in 38 and change!! Dude, you are out of control in the best possible way. Keep redefining amazing for the rest of us mortals!

It's been fun to read as your confidence seems to have grown in the last few months (despite the bike crash). The "lively" running -- maybe an increase in cadence?ReplyDelete
I am not sure. Before when I would increase my cadence it was like I was just shuffling faster. Now it's like I am getting more energy return and spending less time on the ground. I am also tracking straighter. I am aware of this because the big, fat bruise on my hip hurts when I run any other way. If I let the form slip, the hip starts screaming so whenever I feel pain, I tighten up and run faster. It makes the pain go away. Go figure!!ReplyDelete
Also, thanks for the comment about the confidence. I would have to agree. It feels really good.. I feel really good.. all the way around.ReplyDelete

Robert Mankoff
Cartoonist for The New Yorker
January 15, 2018, 4:30 pm
I Only Read It for The Cartoons: An Insider's Cartoon History of "The New Yorker"
Bob Mankoff is the ultimate New Yorker cartoon insider. He's been a staff cartoonist for The New Yorker for 35 years and was its Cartoon Editor for 20 years. As editor, he viewed over 1,000 cartoons a week'in order to help select the 15 or so for the magazine, which over its long and storied history has published over 80,000 of them. In this fast-paced and funny multimedia presentation featuring cartoons and videos, Bob ushers you into the hallowed halls of The New Yorker (Shhh! You'll upset the fact-checkers) to show you the soup-tonuts process of cartoon creation, giving you a detailed look at his own work as well as the artists who keep you laughing weekly. Mankoff's presentation will explain it all including how to increase your odds of winning the famous New Yorker caption contest.
Robert Mankoff's career started, unexpectedly, by quitting a Ph.D. program in experimental psychology at The City University of New York in 1974. Shortly after, he began submitting cartoons to The New Yorker. Three years and over 2,000 cartoons later, he finally made the magazine and has since published over 950 cartoons. The New Yorker named Bob Cartoon Editor from 1997-2017. As editor, he spent his days mentoring cartoonists, new and old, towards the laughs that readers expect. By 2005, he started the "New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest." With over 2.5 million entries to date, the contest receives 5,000 reader submissions a week. The Washington Post said of his 2014 book How About Never – Is Never Good for You?: My Life In Cartoons – "Mankoff's deep understanding of humor, both its power and practice, is the live wire that crackles through his book … It's also an enormous window into the mystery and alchemy behind New Yorker cartoons."
Frederick Forsyth
Bestselling Suspense Writer
February 26, 2018, 4:30 pm
The Master Storyteller: A Conversation with Frederick Forsyth
Frederick Forsyth's eventful retelling of his life story along with tales from the thrill-writer's career, will reveal how adversity first prompted his move into writing fiction, how he almost started the Third World War, and what he really thinks of global politics and journalism. This very private man, whose biography is indicatively titled The Outsider, dislikes publicity and long resisted the offer of writing his own life's story. Forsyth has published 17 novels in his 45-year career. However, he stated in a 2015 interview, "I have never been a compulsive; I never had a message for the human race; and I called myself a mercenary because I did it for the money, not the fame and the glory." No matter what he reveals as his motivation, the world can never deny the impact that his storytelling has had on them or contributing to our understanding of complex global affairs.
Frederick Forsyth is arguably one of England's most prominent suspense writers. This former RAF pilot, investigative journalist for Reuters and the BBC, spy, and political commentator is best known for his meticulously complex novels, which are based on detailed factual research. Forsyth defined the modern thriller genre in 1971 with his novel The Day of The Jackal. British author Lee Child (author of the Jack Reacher series) described Jackal as the book that broke the classic mold with its lightening-paced storytelling, effortlessly cool reality, and unique "insider" information. Applying his skills as an investigative reporter and utilizing a natural penchant for storytelling, Forsyth has penned 12 novels which have been bestsellers around the world: including The Odessa File, The Dogs of War, The Fourth Protocol, and most recently The Kill List with many bestsellers being adapted to film. Forsyth holds the distinction of selling more than 70 million books worldwide in his career. He resides in Buckinghamshire, England.
Maya Lin
Designer, Vietnam Veterans Memorial
March 19, 2018, 4:30 pm
An Afternoon with Maya Lin: At the Intersection of Art and Architecture
Maya Lin will give an illustrated lecture about the past 30 years of her career, which encompasses large-scale environmental installations, intimate studio artworks, architectural works, and memorials. She redefined the idea of monument with her very first work, the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial, and has since gone on to pursue a remarkable career in both art and architecture, while still being committed to the exploration of time, memory, history and language. Her artwork interprets the world through a twenty-first century lens, utilizing technological methods to study and visualize the natural environment. Lin's architectural projects create a close dialogue between the landscape and built environment, and she is committed to advocating sustainable design solutions in all her works. She will also speak in depth about her final memorial, What is Missing, a project that raises awareness about the crisis surrounding biodiversity and habitat loss.
Artist and designer Maya Lin interprets the natural world through history, politics, and culture, creating a body of work that balances art and architecture. Lin's installations, studio artworks, architecture, and memorials become a part of the land, merging physical and psychological environments and presenting a new way of seeing the world around us. Lin's memorials address the social and historical issues of our time. From the Vietnam Memorial, to The Civil Rights Memorial in Alabama and the Women's Table at Yale, Lin's art explores how we experience and relate to landscape, setting up a systematic ordering of the land that is tied to history, memory, and language. Her interest in landscape has led to works influenced by topographies and geographic phenomena. In 2009 she was awarded the National Medal of Arts (the nation's highest honor for artistic excellence), and in 2016 the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the nation's highest civilian honor).
Lonnie G. Bunch III
Founding Director, National Museum of African American History and Culture | Smithsonian Institution
April 9, 2018, 4:30 pm
The Challenge of Building a National Museum
Lonnie Bunch will explore the history and struggle to create the National Museum of African American History and Culture, focusing on a variety of challenges —including building on the National Mall, conceptual frameworks, public expectations, and the contextual terrain of race. He will reveal the strategies used to successfully navigate these challenges, and will also briefly survey the difficulties of chronicling race in American museums. Bunch will provide updates on the new institution's current status and on future projections, and share how the National Museum will help the Smithsonian transition from a 19th-century institution to a 21st-century enterprise.
Historian, author, curator, and educator, Lonnie G. Bunch III is the founding director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, which opened to critical and public acclaim in September 2016. As a public historian, a scholar who brings history to the people, Bunch has spent nearly 30 years in the museum field where he is regarded as one of the nation's leading figures in the historical and museum community. A prolific and widely published author, he has written on topics ranging from slavery, the black military experience, the American presidency, and all black towns in the American West —to diversity in museum management and the impact of funding and politics on American museums. Among his numerous honors in an incredible career, in 2016 he received the Visionary History Award from the DC Historical Society, the National Newspaper Publishers Association Torch Award, and was listed # 1 in the Washington Business Journal's Power 100 ratings and in Vanity Fair's Hall of Fame.

But it is very important to use our time wisely to conduct the business of our Society. Some pointers on keeping the meeting on schedule:

Being well aware of my weaknesses when it comes to chocolate, certain someones should have called ahead to warn me before I snuck a good chunk of their present to Duo.Furthermore, I am not certain which one of you bought a plot of land in Cinque under his name, but as a titled landowner, if he insists upon being called Lord Maxwell everywhere he goes, the blame is squarely upon your head.Ah- I had meant to write more, but his Lordship is insisting that he requires comestibles.
The disadvantage of having a grease monkey for a boyfriend is that if you are foolish enough to believe him when he says he needs to trot downstairs and check on the alarms before bed, he is capable of disassembling your bike into all its individual pieces (chain included) before you are done shaving.The advantage is that when you discover what he has done the next day and he feels properly chastised after you tell him you'd planned to forego pranks on a day which is essentially your anniversary, you get to lounge around and sip margaritas while you watch him put it back together in nothing but a pair of cut-offs.Of course, the very best part is at the end of the evening, when he goes to take a shower and realizes you've lied regarding the foregoing pranks bit.
Duo and I have both been working overtime. It has felt as if we only see eachother in five minute increments with one of us falling into bed just as the other is waking.To rectify this, I have forcibly rearranged my schedule today. When he comes through the door I am going to take his phone, turn it off, and lead him by the hand up onto the roof.There is an 80% chance that the weather cycle will turn to rain, but while the wind remains strong I would like to take a set of photographs of him.
( BreathlessCollapse )
Opting to spend the afternoon with Miss Noin and Miss Relena proved to be an error in judgement. As the only male in the group, I was automatically assigned the job of package mule.The extra pair of arms may have encouraged them, but I have never seen so much plastic fly quite so fast. To think I once thought the female of the species' ability to spend money like water on a single shopping trip was myth.I will never doubt again.The saving grace is that Duo is out attempting to corrupt Quatre, which gives me ample opportunity to find a hiding spot in our luggage for the gift I bought him. That is, if the girls have managed to find and isolate it from the massive pile of bags and boxes.
After the "incident", I went and purchased Duo a consolation T-shirt with a catchy slogan I thought he'd appreciate. It appears that I chose too well. I should have bought two. With how reluctant he is to take it off, I'm certain it is going to develop holes in no time flat.As the man who does all the laundry related chores in this household, I consider it my responsibility to make certain that Duo takes good care of his clothing. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, I am preparing to go out there and remove that shirt from his back...forcibly if necessary.The Pants w/accessories = check.Hair subtly ruffled = check.Come-hither look = check.*cracks my knuckles* Duty calls.
In celebration of Quatre's birthday, I went through the trouble of finding out his pimp name for him.Happiest of birthdays, Cube Q. Master Blaster.Your friend,Big H. Trick Daddy
I came out of the bathroom after a shower and a shave to find Duo grinning and typing away whilst humming "Walk on the Wild Side". On the off-chance that he posts any remarks about me that are dubious in nature, the hair on my legs is naturally sparse.
Today I had every intention of putting on my coat and tie and cycling downtown to make some of the calls that I can't do from home. However, Duo threw a wrench into my plans. He leaned over me and stole a bite of my breakfast while I was distracted by my tea, stole a sip of my tea when I tried to protect the remainder of my food, and to add insult to injury he kissed me on the cheek and dashed downstairs before I could blink.Making phone calls can wait. I'm showered, I'm shaved, and Duo seems like he could use a firm, hm, talking to. *eg*
Leftovers are wonderful. Wufei and I have been practically camping out in the kitchen. Whenever mealtime comes around it seems we get into a competition to see who ends up stuffed first. It may take a good deal more to satisfy my hunger, but I always seem to win. *g*To set the record straight, there was no laughter bordering on hysteria that turned my face red, nor anything of the sort. I had simply just taken a sip of hot chocolate when Miss Noin walked in, and between certain comments about her sweater's instant and noticible effect on Duo, I cough-laughed.That's my story, anyway. Now I feel that we should all steer the conversation towards Quatre and his obsession with the turkey baster.

The story is a cute classic chick flick, with some comical appeal, even if a little cheesy at times. But, the real kicker for the story is the ending. I would have to say that the ending really made the movie; not only is it completely surprising, tear-jerking, and introspective...it makes a bold statement about life. I would watch this movie over again, just to see the ending.
Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5. But, honestly, the extra .5 stars there are just for the ending alone.
I heard the movie got pretty bad ratings, but it was much better than I expected.

This is the new Audi R8 LMS GT4, a customer racing car that the Ingolstadt automaker says shares more than 60% of its components with the road-going version of the supercar.
The new model aims to provide high levels of safety and relatively affordable access to a fully equipped GT4 racing car.
While making use of the brand's naturally aspirated 5,2-litre V10 engine, albeit detuned to 364 kW, and the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Audi R8 LMS GT4 is actually rear-wheel drive and boasts a mechanical rear differential.
The R8 LMS GT4 also comes kitted out with adjustable racing-specific dampers, springs and stabilisers, as well as an upgraded braking system. The hydraulic power steering system from the GT3 model furthermore finds its way into the setup.
To tick the requisite safety boxes, the track car has been fitted with a fire extinguishing system and crash foam door padding. The cabin also gains an Audi Sport PS3 bucket seat with a six-point harness and an emergency roof hatch for quick escapes.
Expect to see the Audi R8 LMS GT4 in action at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring next month.

Sydney: Lady Sonia McMahon, the glamorous widow of former Australian prime minister Sir William McMahon and mother of Hollywood-based actor Julian, has died in Sydney, a hospital spokesman said on Saturday.
McMahon, who created headlines in 1971 when she wore a daring white dress with splits up both sides to a White House dinner with Richard Nixon, had been suffering from cancer.
"Lady Sonia McMahon passed away late last night," a spokesman for St Vincent`s Private Hospital said.
"She died peacefully with her family by her side."
McMahon worked as an occupational therapist before she married her husband -- who was 24 years her senior -- in 1965.
During her husband`s term as prime minister she attended a White House dinner held in his honour wearing a floor length gown slit to the thigh and held together from there to under the arm by thin rhinestone-studded straps.
Asked about the incident later, she said: "Well, there are worse things I could be remembered for, I guess."
"We used to go to continuous dinners and have to wear long dresses and I got so sick of all those ordinary sort of dresses that I thought, `Oh, I can`t stand it any more`, and so this was a light relief."
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd paid tribute to McMahon, describing her as a "distinguished representative of Australia".
The 77-year-old had been a fixture on Sydney`s social circuit until hit by skin cancer and other ailments over the past 18 months.
She is survived by her three children -- daughters Melinda and Deborah and actor son Julian, who played one of the lead roles on US television show "Nip/Tuck".
William McMahon was prime minister from 1971 to 1972 and although he retained his seat in Parliament until his retirement in 1982 he is remembered as one of the country`s least popular leaders. He died in 1988 aged 80.

Dear Dr. Johnson: Here`s a perennial question and I hope you can answer it. Is it better to consume calories in the morning vs. the evening, or does it not make any difference as long as the total 24-hour calorie intake stays the same? I try to make my food consumption the same throughout all times of the day, and I don`t have a weight problem.
The traditional wisdom of the past is that it doesn`t make much difference when or how you consume your calories as long as the total stays the same during a 24-hour period. However, there are more recent studies to suggest that it may make a difference when you eat your calories--in relation to both the general time of day and specifically in relation to exercise.

Made blueberry pie on Sunday from a quart of Maine blueberries picked up at a stand on the way back from Boothbay Harbor on Saturday. Went to a Clambake--two lobsters, steamers, corn, potato, hard boiled egg, onion, and homemade blueberry cake. Hope everyone enjoyed their pot pies--they look great!

Sigh...I need a rainy day. It is still too hot for me to even look at my oven. Some big girl helpers would be nice too.

Wish we had a little bit of that rain out here in the desert. You want to come over for dinner?
