THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, EX REL. RONALD MORSE, DIRECTOR OF MINES AND MINERALS, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.E & B COAL COMPANY, INC., AN ILLINOIS CORPORATION, MARGARET CHAMNESS, BARBARA EVERLY, AND EDWARD EVERLY, DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Williamson County. No. 86-L-175. Honorable C. David Nelson, Judge Presiding.
Goldenhersh, Rarick, Maag
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Goldenhersh
JUSTICE GOLDENHERSH delivered the opinion of the court:
Plaintiff, People of the State of Illinois ex rel. Ronald Morse, Director of Mines and Minerals, filed this action to collect fines in the amount of $355,445 for violations of the Surface Coal Mining Land Conservation and Reclamation Act (the Act) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 96 1/2, par. 7901.01 et seq. (now 225 ILCS 720/1.01 et seq. (West 1992)). Plaintiff appeals from a summary judgment of the circuit court of Williamson County in favor of defendant, Margaret Chamness, and an order dismissing the action against defendant, Edward Everly, for lack of personal jurisdiction. A default judgment was entered against defendant, E & B Coal Company, Inc., for the total civil penalties. In this appeal, plaintiff contends that (1) the trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of Margaret Chamness and misapplied the civil penalty provision of the Act; (2) the trial court erred in finding that it had no personal jurisdiction over Edward Everly; and (3) the trial court erred in allowing Edward Everly to use the fifth amendment (U.S. Const., amend. V) as a shield to avoid producing documents pursuant to plaintiff's discovery request. We affirm in part, reverse in part, vacate in part, and remand.
The facts of this case are largely undisputed. In 1978, Bert Chamness incorporated E & B Coal Company, Inc. (E & B). Chamness and his wife, Margaret Chamness, jointly owned all of E & B's stock. Shortly thereafter, E & B obtained permits from the Department of Mines and Minerals (the Department) to mine coal at three different sites. Pursuant to mining permit regulations, E & B obtained reclamation bonds totaling $920,555, which were later forfeited to the State. Bert Chamness died in 1981, at which time Margaret Chamness succeeded him as president of E & B. Their son-in-law, Edward Everly, was named as a director at that time and served in that capacity until July 1984. E & B operated strip mines known as Crenshaw mine, Spillertown mine, and Corinth mine. From 1981 to 1983, E & B completed existing and renewed coal contracts and short-term orders. The coal contracts began to expire in late 1983, at which time E & B received only periodic short-term orders. At the Crenshaw mine, the landowner obtained an injunction prohibiting E & B access to the site from late 1981 or early 1982, and E & B was unable to further mine that site. In 1984, the Internal Revenue Service levied on all E & B bank accounts, eliminating operating capital. Shortly thereafter, creditors foreclosed on and repossessed all of E & B's real property and equipment. From 1981 to 1985, E & B had insufficient cash to maintain equipment payments and payroll, and periodic compliance with reclamation notices was accomplished where manpower and equipment were available. Additionally, a State inspector or agent allegedly advised Margaret Chamness not to worry about reclamation because E & B had paid for bonds and the bonding company would be responsible for the reclamation.
On December 15, 1986, plaintiff filed a complaint against E & B, Margaret Chamness, Edward Everly, and Barbara Everly, seeking civil penalties pursuant to section 8.04 of the Act. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 96 1/2, par. 7908.04 (now 225 ILCS 720/8.04 (West 1992)).) The complaint alleged that E & B had Violated provisions of the Act for which it received numerous notices of violation and cessation orders. The complaint also alleged that the individual defendants, as directors and/or officers of E & B, were personally liable for the civil penalties assessed against E & B since they had each "willfully and knowingly authorized, ordered and carried out the violations described in the aforementioned notices of violation and also willfully and knowingly authorized, ordered and carried out the failures and refusals to comply with the aforementioned cessation orders." E & B and Margaret Chamness were served with process. Margaret Chamness filed a motion to dismiss on the grounds that the complaint failed to state a cause of action because, inter alia: (1) on the notices of violation, the Department had expressly related the underlying violations to be the result of negligence and not knowing and wilful conduct; and (2) the complaint failed to allege notice of the notices of violation and cessation orders to any party other than E & B. On May 6, 1987, the trial court granted Margaret Chamness' motion to dismiss, and plaintiff was ordered to replead within 21 days. On May 12, 1987, the complaint was confessed against E & B, and judgment by default was entered for the total civil penalties of $355,445.
Subsequent to the judgment against E & B and over the course of the litigation, the remaining counts of the complaint were amended and/or exhibits added as to Margaret Chamness and as to Edward Everly. On May 25, 1990, plaintiff's final amended complaint against the individual defendants was filed. According to the amended complaint, the Department issued to E & B 20 notices of violation and proposed penalties ranging from $300 to $1,530 for violations of the Act. Attached to the complaint were the notices of violation, which stated the nature of the violation, the area of operation affected, the remedial action to be taken, the time frame for abatement of the violation, and the calculation of the penalty. Examples of these violations were: (1) failing to monitor surface water for the months of July through September 1983 at the Corinth and Crenshaw mines; (2) failing to regrade land within 11 months of active mining; (3) discharging toxic water which did not meet applicable environmental standards which affected the holding pond at E & B's # 2 mine; and (4) conducting mining operations outside the permit area.
The complaint further alleged that 15 cessation orders were subsequently issued to E & B for failing to take the corrective action required by the notices of violation to abate the violation, such as failing to treat or cover and revegetate exposed toxic areas, or failing to begin grading of affected area within the time limit. Each cessation order carried a penalty of $22,500. The sum was calculated as a minimum $750 penalty for each day (up to 30 days) during which there was a failure to take the corrective action indicated by the notice of violation.
The notices of violation and the cessation orders were sent by certified mail, addressed to Margaret Chamness and E & B. Margaret Chamness acknowledged service by signing 35 return receipts. As to the individual defendants' status with E & B, the complaint alleged that Margaret Chamness was president, registered agent, and director; that Barbara Everly was secretary-treasurer and director; and inter alia, that Edward Everly was shareholder, director, and officer of E & B prior to its involuntary dissolution. The complaint alleged that each continued to act as an agent of E & B thereafter. In response to pleading challenges by Edward Everly, the complaint further alleged:
"In his various capacities with defendant E & B Coal Co., Inc., defendant Edward Everly attended meetings in Carterville, Illinois of the board of directors of defendant E & B Coal Co., Inc. on September 10, 1981 and December 15, 1982; wrote letters to plaintiff on March 31, 1983, July 29, 1983 and March 9, 1984; personally received in Williamson County, Illinois an earlier notice of violation and cessation order from plaintiff on March 30, 1983; accompanied plaintiff's representative on March 31, 1983 on an inspection of one of defendant E & B Coal Co., Inc.'s mines in Williamson County, Illinois; met at plaintiff's office in Marion, Illinois on July 28, 1983 with plaintiff's inspector; and made a complaint by telephone to plaintiff on January 3, 1984 on behalf of defendant E & B Coal Co., Inc. In addition, as its attorney, defendant Edward Everly represented defendant E & B Coal Co., Inc. on June 8, 1984 in an administrative hearing in Springfield, Illinois regarding the earlier cessation order. After April 1, 1985 defendant Edward Everly continued to act as an agent of the dissolved defendant E & B Coal Co., Inc. and carried on its business.
The respective counts further alleged, as to each of E & B's agents:
"[The defendant] willfully and knowingly authorized, ordered and carried out the failures and refusals to pay the penalties assessed as [a] result of the aforementioned Notices of Violation and also willfully and knowingly authorized, ordered and carried out the failures and refusals to comply with the aforementioned Cessation Orders and to pay the penalties assessed as [a] result thereof."
Pursuant to the Act, judgment on the civil penalties against the individual defendants was requested. In addition to counts II and IV seeking civil penalties, count V further alleged that defendants are required by section 8.06 of the Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, par. 7908.06 (now 225 ILCS 720/8.06 (West 1992))) to reclaim the subject mined land pursuant to the notices of violation and cessation orders previously issued; that their failure to reclaim the land has caused irreparable damage to the People; and that based ...

In a shocking announcement made on Monday, March 29th, President Roth stated that he would not transform into an Adirondack black bear on his birthday this year.
Roth's shapeshifting has been his annual birthday event at Wesleyan since he became president. He spends most of the day devouring students on Foss Hill, catching fish in the Connecticut River, and then holding a question and answer session in Exley.
Roth explained that he is unable to transform on any other day of the year due to the weather. "Basically, I'm just like Achilles," President Roth said, "except that I can transform into a bear on my birthday."
"I know the student body will be disappointed by my decision," he said, "but these days, it's all about vampires and werewolves. I'm not bitter, and I'm not accusing Wesleyan of discrimination, but last year when I was a bear everyone was all like, 'Turn into a wolf! Turn into a wolf!' I just don't think that werebears have the same appeal that they used to."
Roth reported receiving a number of angry letters and reports of ACB posts threatening to kidnap him and take blood samples to discover the secret to his human-bear transformation. Roth sent a public safety email to all Wesleyan students, but also informed the Ampersand that, "If they try anything, I'll start bringing my brother to Wesleyan for his birthday. He transforms into a goddamn Allosaurus."

United States District Court, D. Idaho
September 15, 2014
MIGUEL TELLEZ-VASQUEZ, Petitioner,v.JOHANNA SMITH, Warden, Respondent.
CANDY W. DALE, Magistrate Judge.
Petitioner Miguel Tellez-Vasquez, an Idaho state prisoner, is proceeding pro se in this habeas corpus matter. Petitioner has raised four claims: (1) ineffective assistance of direct appeal counsel; (2) actual innocence; (3) excessive sentence; and (4) trial court error in not granting Petitioner's motion to reduce his sentence. (Dkt. 3, 19; see also Dkt. 50 at 5.) This case was reopened following a remand from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. (Dkt. 69, 70.)
The parties have consented to the jurisdiction of a United States Magistrate Judge to conduct all proceedings in this case in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). (Dkt. 25.) The Court takes judicial notice of the records from Petitioner's state court proceedings, lodged by Respondent on December 20, 2010, and September 6, 2011. (Dkt. 14, 35.) See Fed.R.Evid. 201(b); Dawson v. Mahoney , 451 F.3d 550, 551 (9th Cir. 2006). Having carefully reviewed the record, including the state court record, the Court finds that the parties have adequately presented the facts and legal arguments in the briefs and record and that oral argument is unnecessary. See D. Idaho L. Civ. R. 7.1(d). Accordingly, the Court enters the following Order dismissing the Petition with prejudice.
In 2004, after a jury trial in state court, Petitioner was convicted of two counts of trafficking a controlled substance (methamphetamine), one count of delivery of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), and three counts of failure to obtain a tax stamp. (State's Lodging A-1 at 103-07.) Petitioner's sentences for all six counts were ordered to be served concurrently, resulting in a term of 5 to 25 years in prison. (State's Lodging A-1 at 117-26.) On direct appeal, Petitioner's appellate counsel raised a single claim challenging Petitioner's sentences, and the Idaho Court of Appeals affirmed. (State's Lodging B-1.) The Idaho Supreme Court denied Petitioner's petition for review. (State's Lodging B-7.)
Petitioner next filed an application for post-conviction relief in state district court, raising a number of claims, including claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. (State's Lodging C-1 at 29.) The district court dismissed the application, but Petitioner apparently did not receive notice of the court's order for several months, and his appeal later was dismissed as untimely. (State's Lodging E-1 at 18-19.) An agreement was reached by the parties that resulted in the state district court re-filing the order dismissing the application so that Petitioner could submit a timely notice of appeal from the order. (State's Lodging E-1 at 12-15.) On appeal, the Idaho Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's decision, and Petitioner's petition for review was denied by the Idaho Supreme Court. (State's Lodgings F-8, F-9.)
Before the post-conviction appeal had concluded, Petitioner submitted a federal habeas petition, alleging that he was deprived of his Fourteenth Amendment right to the effective assistance of counsel during the direct appeal (Claim 1) and that he is innocent (Claim 2). (Dkt. 3 at 8-17.) The Court conducted an initial review of the Petition and ordered the Petition to be served on the Respondent. (Dkt. 7.) Petitioner thereafter supplemented his Petition to add two new claims: excessive sentence (Claim 3) and the erroneous denial of his motion to reduce his sentence under Idaho Criminal Rule 35 (Claim 4). (Dkt. 19.)
Respondent initially requested that the Petition be dismissed without prejudice, because Petitioner had not yet presented any habeas claims to the Idaho Supreme Court. (Dkt. 12.) Before the Court ruled on that request, the Idaho Supreme Court issued its remittitur ending the post-conviction appeal, and this Court later dismissed Respondent's motion as moot. (Dkt. 30, p.1.) Respondent then filed a motion for summary dismissal.
On September 17, 2012, the Court conditionally granted Respondent's motion for summary dismissal because Claim 2 was not cognizable as a freestanding claim and because Claims 1, 3, and 4 were procedurally defaulted. (Dkt. 50 at 5-6.) The Court also concluded that Petitioner had failed to establish cause and prejudice or actual innocence to excuse the procedural default of Claims 3 and 4, but that-with respect to Claim 1-Petitioner might be able to benefit from the Supreme Court's decision in Martinez v. Ryan , 132 S.Ct. 1309, 1315 (2012), which held that inadequate assistance of postconviction review ("PCR") counsel or lack of counsel "at initial-review collateral review proceedings may establish cause for a prisoner's procedural default of a claim of ineffective assistance at trial ." ( See also Dkt. 50 at 9-10 (emphasis added).) The Court gave the parties an opportunity to argue whether Martinez could be extended to excuse the procedural default of Claim 1: Petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance of direct appeal counsel.
The Court reviewed the parties' briefing and, on August 7, 2013, determined that Martinez was limited to underlying claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel and therefore did not apply to Petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance of direct appeal counsel. (Dkt. 62 at 9-10.) The Court dismissed the Petition in its entirety.
Following that dismissal, the Ninth Circuit issued its decision in Nguyen v. Curry , 736 F.3d 1287, 1293 (9th Cir. 2013), which held for the first time that Martinez does indeed apply to underlying claims of ineffective assistance of direct appeal counsel. After Petitioner's appeal was remanded from the Ninth Circuit, this Court vacated its dismissal order and judgment and allowed the parties to submit briefing on whether the procedural default of Claim 1 should be excused under Martinez . (Dkt. 70.) The parties have done so, and the Court has reviewed all of the parties' submissions in this case.
1. Standard of Law
When a habeas petitioner has not fairly presented a constitutional claim to the highest state court, and it is clear that the state court would now refuse to consider it because of the state's procedural rules, the claim is said to be procedurally defaulted. Gray v. Netherland , 518 U.S. 152, 161-62 (1996). A procedurally defaulted claim may be heard on the merits if a petitioner establishes cause and prejudice to excuse the default. Coleman v. Thompson , 501 U.S. 722, 750 (1991). To show "cause" for a procedural default, a petitioner must ordinarily demonstrate that some objective factor external to the defense impeded his or his counsel's efforts to comply with the state procedural rule at issue. Murray , 477 U.S. at 488.
A petitioner does not have a federal constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel during state postconviction proceedings. Pennsylvania v. Finley , 481 U.S. 551 (1987); Bonin v. Vasquez , 999 F.2d 425, 430 (9th Cir. 1993). As a result, the general rule is that any errors of counsel during the postconviction action cannot serve as a basis for cause to excuse a procedural default. Coleman , 501 U.S. at 752.
Martinez v. Ryan , 132 S.Ct. 1309 (2012), established a limited exception to this general rule-an exception that applies only to Sixth Amendment ineffective assistance of counsel ("IAC") claims. Martinez held that inadequate assistance of PCR counsel or lack of counsel "at initial-review collateral review proceedings may establish cause for a prisoner's procedural default of a claim of ineffective assistance at trial." Id . at 1315. As explained above, the Ninth Circuit has extended Martinez , holding that it can also apply to procedurally defaulted claims of ineffective assistance of direct appeal counsel. Nguyen , 736 F.3d at 1293.
In Trevino v. Thaler , the Supreme Court described the Martinez analysis as consisting of four prongs:
We consequently read Coleman as containing an exception, allowing a federal habeas court to find "cause, " thereby excusing a defendant's procedural default, where (1) the claim of "ineffective assistance of trial counsel" was a "substantial" claim; (2) the "cause" consisted of there being "no counsel" or only "ineffective" counsel during the state collateral review proceeding; (3) the state collateral review proceeding was the "initial" review proceeding in respect to the "ineffective-assistance-of-trial-counsel claim"; and (4) state law requires that an "ineffective assistance of trial counsel [claim]... be raised in an initial-review collateral proceeding."
133 S.Ct. 1911, 1918 (2013) (citing Martinez , 132 S.Ct. at 1318-19, 1320-21) (alterations in original).
The third and fourth prongs of the analysis are rarely in dispute. With respect to the third prong, the Martinez exception applies only to the lack of counsel or ineffectiveness of counsel in the initial postconviction review proceeding. It "does not extend to attorney errors in any proceeding beyond the first occasion the State allows a prisoner to raise a claim of ineffective assistance." Martinez , 132 S.Ct. at 1320. Rather, the Court in Martinez was singularly concerned that, if ineffective assistance of trial counsel claims were not brought in the collateral proceeding which provided the first occasion to raise such claims, the effect was that the claims could not be brought at all. Id. at 1316. Therefore, a petitioner may not assert as cause attorney error that occurred in "appeals from initial-review collateral proceedings, second or successive collateral proceedings, [or] petitions for discretionary review in a State's appellate courts." Id. at 1320.
With respect to the fourth prong-that state law must require IAC claims to be brought in an initial-review collateral proceeding-the Supreme Court in Trevino extended Martinez to apply not only where a state requires IAC claims to be raised in postconviction proceedings, but also where a state's "procedural framework, by reason of its design and operation, makes it highly unlikely in a typical case that a defendant will have a meaningful opportunity to raise a claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel on direct appeal." Trevino , 133 S.Ct. at 1921. Therefore, Martinez applies in Idaho where the post-conviction setting was the first forum in which the ineffective assistance of trial counsel claim based on matters arising outside the record could have been brought and developed in an evidentiary hearing. See Matthews v. State , 839 P.2d 1215, 1220 (Idaho 1992) (recognizing that in Idaho the post-conviction setting is the "preferred forum for bringing claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, " though in limited instances such claims may be brought on direct appeal "on purported errors that arose during the trial, as shown on the record").
The two strongly disputed issues in a Martinez inquiry are generally the first prong, whether an underlying IAC claim is substantial, and the second prong, whether PCR counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to raise that IAC claim in state postconviction proceedings.
A. Prong One: Substantiality of Underlying IAC Claims
For the Martinez exception to apply, a petitioner must bring forward facts demonstrating that his underlying IAC claim is substantial. The United States Supreme Court has defined "substantial" as a claim that "has some merit." Martinez , 132 S.Ct. at 1318 (comparing the standard for certificates of appealability from Miller-El v. Cockrell , 537 U.S. 322 (2003)). Stated inversely, a claim is " in substantial" if "it does not have any merit or... is wholly without factual support." Id. at 1319.
Determining whether an IAC claim is substantial requires a federal district court to examine the claim under Strickland v. Washington , 466 U.S. 668 (1984). A petitioner asserting ineffective assistance of counsel must show that (1) "counsel made errors so serious that counsel was not functioning as the counsel' guaranteed the defendant by the Sixth Amendment, " and (2) counsel's errors "deprive[d] the defendant of a fair trial, a trial whose result is reliable." Id . at 687.
Whether an attorney's performance was deficient is judged against an objective standard of reasonableness. Id. at 687-88. A reviewing court's inquiry into the "reasonableness" of counsel's actions must not rely on hindsight:
Judicial scrutiny of counsel's performance must be highly deferential. It is all too tempting for a defendant to second-guess counsel's assistance after conviction or adverse sentence, and it is all too easy for a court, examining counsel's defense after it has proved unsuccessful, to conclude that a particular act or omission of counsel was unreasonable. A fair assessment of attorney performance requires that every effort be made to eliminate the distorting effects of hindsight, to reconstruct the circumstances of counsel's challenged conduct, and to evaluate the conduct from counsel's perspective at the time. Because of the difficulties inherent in making the evaluation, a court must indulge a strong presumption that counsel's conduct falls within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance; that is, the defendant must overcome the presumption that, under the circumstances, the ...

Make way for The Man on the Cosmetics page!
I decided to do the Movember Challenge and see how long I could keep my beard. No word of a lie, November was hard for my beard. It was so messy and all over the place. It took me time to get used to and towards the end I started liking the messy look.
It came to my attention that Ted Baker Grooming was doing an offer for people who took part in Movember. A free shave for anyone who signs up to Ted's mailing list. Obviously, I wasn't going to miss this opportunity. I've seen men getting that fresh trim at Ted's Grooming before and I always wanted to get one myself but you know…. (living the broke university life).
It was 4pm and I was in Starbucks waiting for Waseema to arrive with the Canon camera so we can take some bomb ass pictures. Obviously, she was running late as usual so I bought a hot chocolate with whipped cream to keep me warm and refreshed. 5 minutes later she arrives telling me to hurry up (SHE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS LATE)!
We arrived at the main Ted Baker shop which has the barbers inside the shop. The barber shop was packed and the man told me it would at least be a 15-minute wait. Waseema being the photographer was taking pictures for this post, then got stopped by one of the workers because we weren't allowed to take pictures inside the shop. Mate, she was taking a picture OF THE SIGN. Jam your hype lady.
I can understand why we weren't allowed to take pictures inside but the lady who told us was so rude and the tone she used with us was so degrading that we left the store. Luckily, I knew that there is another Ted baker Barber around the corner, so we went there.
Once we arrived to the new location, we were greeted by a lovely woman who took my coat, scarf and bags to put in the back room. We then asked the workers if we could take pictures and they said yes. So, we sat there waiting for my turn and then the man approached me (I didn't get his name, completely forgot to) and told me to take a seat. He offered us drinks (Turkish tea and Coffee) but I didn't want a drink because I just had my hot chocolate.
The barber asked how I wanted my shave. This is when it got complicated.
It was either a full hot shave or a trim. I was debating this with Waseema, she opted for a trim because the beard suits me but I wanted a full hot shave because I haven't done that in a long time. But the reason why I held back on a full shave was because I would look 12.
I would go from "your daughter calls me daddy" to "where's my hug?"
We decided on a trim and I'm so glad that it was a trim. He started off by cleaning the back of my neck by trimming off the hair and shaping it up. This was a long process as he did it in detail. He then moved onto my beard. But first he put something on my eyes to cover them up. It smelt so amazing. I literally sat there sniffing it.
I don't know the process of how the man did my beard but I know that he gave it a fade from bottom up. He's a smart guy; he saw the patch that I have on my beard so he blended it in so you can't tell that I have a patch. Not all heroes wear capes. He then pulled out some mini flamethrower stick.
He lighted it and started throwing back and forth at my face (it was burning my face). He continued doing what he was doing and then I saw him pull out the hot towel. I swear, I love the hot towel on my face. That burning sensation you get on your face is pleasing. After the shave was done, he washed my face, creamed it and blow dried my hair.
This whole process of the beard trim took around 40 minutes. Yes, it is very long just for a beard trim. But I can assure you guys that its totally worth it. Sometimes you should just need to pamper yourself.
For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of this experience, I suggest you should try it out. It is pricey but it's totally worth it.
I know I would do this again.

Douglas Boren has lived a full and exciting life. A retired physician's assistant, he has resided in Alaska, Florida, New York, New Mexico, and many places in between. Now an avid master scuba diver, he divides his time between the Caribbean and his home in North Carolina. His profound fondness for history stems from an understanding that it is so much more than just a series of dates and events; it is a living record of real people, their impact on those around them, and their role in the unfolding story of life.
Boren's writings—informally titled the Alexander Family Chronicles—recount the exploits of the Alexanders through the generations. You can follow these remarkable men and women as they face unique challenges and overcome incredible odds in 1600s England, the Caribbean in the 1700s, the American Revolution, the American Civil War, and so on, right on up to the present day. Patriot's Point is Boren's fourth novel.
Douglas Boren invites you to visit his website and learn more about him in this video.
In the early days of the Civil War, when things were going mostly for the South, the Confederacy planned to extend its empire to California, taking advantage of the Pacific ports and vast goldfields. But first, they had to secure the New Mexico Territory.
For Mace Alexander and his friends, the Civil War was just the beginning. Through the crucible of war, they would become brothers... though not all would survive. In the broiling heat of the desert, and across sun-swept mountains, they would become frontiersmen.
But the deadliest, most ruthless enemy of all awaited them... the Apache Snake Dancers! Their unholy sacrifices and blood crazed ferocity threatened to drive out the struggling white man forever. In the inevitable clash to come, there could only be one victor... one survivor. Only one to see... beyond the horizons.
"...This historical novel, based on factual events, is subtitled "Part of the Alexander Family Chronicles." The stories of Mace Alexander's ancestors are covered in two of the author's previous novels. I found the action, especially descriptions of the battles, exciting and vividly described. There were many pages that covered the Apache Wars... I recommend this book for its page-turning pace, the in-depth characterizations of the major characters, and the exciting conclusion. Highly entertaining." –The Historical Novel Society
Patriot's Point: 1780: At the Battle of Waxhaw, North Carolina, the British Legion massacres the unresisting soldiers of the Virginia Regiment instead of accepting their surrender. In the aftermath, colonists—ordinary men and women, farmers, shopkeepers, and backwoodsmen—come together in secret at an abandoned Spanish mission, renaming it Patriot's Point. There they organize themselves into a fighting force, vowing to contain the British advance at all cost until the Continental Army can retaliate. Fewer than two hundred men stand in defiance of over five thousand British soldiers: two hundred patriots who understand that freedom is not free.

Just done another test on the latest Telnet server for LUA for the ESP8266 – not working yet and the HEAP issue is still there. Meanwhile nothing from ESPRESSIF and nothing from the fellow who made the original web server. Reading about Frankenstein code and that is still having issues from what I can tell – so no major breakthroughs as yet this weekend for the little board.
Update. Heap issue acknowledged – back to original developers – we can only hope they come up with a fix. Telnet software no longer causes the board to reboot – on the other hand it doesn't seem to do anything either.
Meanwhile – Frankenstein issue – I've asked twice now what the control characters are for in his code – some kind of editing I guess.. no response yet and as far as I know there is no doc for that software.
Espressif have gone very quiet this weekend.

This is the famous Hypogeum and also where I went just today with my mum.
It was great fun and really interesting. First we went to see a short movie. Then the people there gave us some devices that looked like walkie -talkies. When we pressed them to our ears we could hear a man talking. It was really cool. We went to the Oracle Room, the Holy of Holies and many other places. It was great and I think you should go and see it. Thanks for reading and please like and follow for more of my life and times. Byeeeee!!!!!!!!!! 😉
Ugh. UUUGGGHHHH. I'm sooooooo bored at school right now. The subjects are really easy and boring. Oh well. Anyway what I wanted to say is that I hope you are enjoying my blog so far and please if you have any friends tell them to have a look. We're already over 500 views, 100 visitors and 20 comments. WOW. WOW backwards. WOW. Thanks for the great support and remember I did not mention likes. This is because I only have 4. So try to fix that.
Thanks so much. ❤
Hi. This Wednesday I'm gonna go to my friend Luca and play games. There's also gonna be Noah, Jake and Adam. It's gonna be so FUN. I'm so excited.
Hi. I'm really sorry for not writing for long… I've been quite busy. I wanted to say that me and Jack played Minecraft bedwars and Jack made a video, which he now published. I can't find his channel ( I asked him on Skype so it should be quite soon) but when I do find it I'll make a link to his channel and video. Be sure to subscribe, like and leave a comment and put notifications on.( Who knows maybe one day I'll have a Youtube channel. Hint Hint mum and dad)
Hi. I'm writing this to tell you about my exam results. So in English I have 72/80 without the orals. Now let me tell you something my mom wasn't very impressed but another thing I wanted to tell you is that Maltese is probably my worst subject so I wasn't very disappointed when I got 66/80 without the orals. Then my best subject, Maths I got 95/100. So I don't think it's too bad. Bye
Wow. I must really be thinking of messed up stuff. You know why? Because I had 2 really weird dreams. In the first one, my cat (Dusty) was Mary and she gave birth to 15 cute Jesuses/Kittens. But the most weird thing about this dream was how she gave birth. It was like taking toast from the toaster except that instead of toast they were like onions. And the second weird dream was that the world was pausing and only me and some South Korean boy didn't pause. We became good friends. Then when I was about to wake up there was like a fade-out scene and I saw God wearing sandals but I couldn't see His head. Then I noticed that there was a television in front of Him. And suddenly he stood up, paused the television and went to the bathroom And I was like "OHHHHHHHH, so that's why the world was pausing." Unfortunately, I then woke up. Thanks for reading and if YOU had some weird dream/s then be sure to comment and I will definitely reply. Let's see if I can get 300 views overall. XD

The week of July 20, a young lady from AT&T U-verse knocked.
I'm sorry, I'm uninterested in U-verse, as I've said to the other sales callers. But thank you.
Oh no, sir. We know that. But would you mind telling us why?
It's more expensive than TWC/Roadrunner. It costs more than what I have now for the same thing. The price must come down or the service go up for the new price. I've given more detail and a longer explanation before and have it written down. Would you like a copy?
That's okay sir. She wrote something. Okay, thank you sir.
You're welcome. Have a nice evening.

Now Charlie's sick with something like what I had. He's feverish, coughing, sneezing, droopy... but cheerful. I watched a bit of the news the other night and they were saying that there's probably loads of people out there with swine flu, but since it's really just the flu - which like any flu can be dangerous for a small percentage of people - most of them (us) don't realize it, and will get better on their (our) own.
I figure I had it; the timing was right, I'd been in three different airports two days before I felt ill, etc. I was super-sick. (My mom had wanted to take me to the hospital. But within about 24 hours, I'd improved a lot.)
By the time I'd really heard about the official spreading of the piggy sickness, I was past the point of testing positive. And although I considered going to the doctor, it really felt viral, not bacterial, and I couldn't face even the idea of sitting in my GP's crowded boiling hot waiting room for two hours only for her to say, I don't think you need antibiotics. Though she likely would've said, you've got the piggy sickness! Get the duct tape! Don't go out!
Oh yeah, and now apparently, the thing's been renamed C3P0 or something because it's unfair to piggies. Er, I don't think calling it swine flu - a thing that comes from pigs - is unfair. Never mind the fact that I'm sure pigs don't care if we name the flu that came from their poo after them. I'm sure they'd be just as happy to strike a deal where they no longer supply the B in our BLTs.
Back to the flu. They identified Patient Zero. A little boy in kindergarten that lives in a town surrounded by pig farms. They had him on the news, with his dad, and they showed his name. A cute little kindergarten boy who'd gotten very sick was identified internationally as being the first person (testing positive, that is) with swine flu. But oh no, don't blame the pigs - or the pig farms, or all the pig poo in the kid's town's water system. It's absolutely appalling that the little boy would be identified so very publically in this world of crazies.
PS: Okay, I just did some fact checking - it's the World Health Organization that wants to call the swine flu, "HlNl A" (see? C3P0 was not far off) because they say it was "causing countries to order the slaughter of pigs" unnecessarily. I'm thinking it's perhaps a bit late in the day for that. (What's a group of pigs called? Not a sleuth... Ah, a drift, a team or a herd.)

No, it's true. Apparently Brian Williams is hosting Saturday Night Live on November 3rd.
So what does this mean for NBC News?
Full disclosure: Brian Williams was one of my favorite Imus guests. From the moment he took over Brokaw's seat to around April 10, 2007, I thought Williams was one of the standard-bearers of television journalism. (Of course, I thought the same about Tim Russert, which goes to show you.) Williams is, truth be told, absolutely hysterical. He even cameoed briefly on last year's SNL premiere, and outdid the actual cast. I actually believe that if SNL ditched the skits and had Brian Williams perform an hour and a half of stand-up, it would probably be the funniest show they've had in years.
That said, I don't think this is the right time.
When I read the news I asked myself, "Is this really any different than him joking around with Imus or Jon Stewart?"
Yes. It's different.
For starters, when Brian went on Imus or goes on Leno or Stewart, he is playing Brian Williams. A funnier, snarkier Williams, sure, but it's the same guy.
But when Williams goes on SNL, he will likely play different characters. Saturday Night Live consists of different sketches - he could theoretically be anybody. He could be a construction worker. He could be a caveman. He could be a male gigolo. Anything. Can you picture Williams being a Roxbury Guy, or hanging out with Wayne and Garth, or cheering with the Spartan Cheerleaders?
High-profile people have hosted before this. Rudy Giuliani did the show when he was mayor. Al Gore and John McCain have also hosted. But to my knowledge, the only journalist who has ever been on was Jimmy Breslin, back in 1986.
Plus, consider the fact that SNL is not very family-friendly. What if Williams swears? What if he tells a dick joke? That won't go over well with the nice old ladies who make up his audience. Also, you know that if Williams even slightly makes fun of conservatives or liberals, he's going to be hounded as being biased.
While Williams has an excellent shot at making a memorable episode, this is not the time to try it. Think about the hits to NBC News's image in 2007. There was Imus, of course. Then there was the Virginia Tech incident, when NBC decided that putting their logo on the ramblings of a mass murderer was safer than putting it on the I-Man's picture. Then there was the attempt to buy a Paris Hilton interview for $1 million. The list goes on.
After all that, someone decided that it was OK for the face of NBC News, the Heir to Brokaw, to be silly on live television.
So much for "the standards of our reporters," the excuse they used to fire Imus.
I haven't watched Williams since April, but the SNL geek in me compels me to see this. So I'll keep you posted. Who knows, maybe Williams will have his own NHH moment...

and to think that Williams apparently thought enough of the I-Man that he wanted Imus to go to Iraq, because ole Brian apparently thought Imus could make a difference....

And I was really looking forward to that trip. I was crushed when it sunk in that it wasn't happening.
Plus, some of Brian's jokes on his Daily Show appearances are not exactly G-rated.
You'd think he wouldn't have been such a hypocrite.
- October 20, 2007 at 6:42 PM
College Girl,
I remember Imus saying Williams had head full of snakes. Jon Stewart used him as a joke background on his show, as the Big Head...geeze after he turns around and states after the NHH soundbite...I really didn't know Imus. Makes me think of another name D*#K Head.

One area of study that's planned for the 2014-2017 time frame partners Cornell University researchers with the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research to come up with a model for the "dynamics of social movement mobilization and contagions," the text of the program stated. That particular research area will ultimately determine the "critical mass (tipping point)," of civil uprisings, where protests turn violent, the program text states, The Guardian reported.
The research will also analyze social media users' accounts, and look at Twitter posts and conversations "to identify individuals mobilized in a social contagion and when they become mobilized."

We're focused on a workout that applies to your everyday life.
First things first, CrossFit is for anyone! Second, CrossFit will make you feel better and more capable in your daily life tasks. So if you garden, hike, walk, pick up your kids, carry groceries, sit at a desk all day…. you get the idea… CrossFit is for all of us. CrossFit is a group training program that gives you a real bang for your fitness buck. It's highly effective, and is used by everyone from members of the armed forces to soccer moms and dads; from professional athletes to grandparents.
- Do you want to get in shape and don't know where to start? Crossfit is scalable for people of all ages and athletic abilities!
- Do you dislike the impersonal high-volume conventional gym environment? We are a community! We talk, hang out, and keep each other accountable!
- Are bored with your gym/workout routine? We do something different EVERY day! We promise you won't get bored.
- Are you too busy to exercise? We will give you a rock solid workout in 60 minutes!
- Did you stop seeing results from your current training regimen? Crossfit is proven to show results, and every so often we repeat a workout to measure our success!
- Do you really want to work hard and do something good for yourself? You're at the right place.
It's also efficient. We don't spend our time doing isolated movements that work a single muscle group. This is a full-body deal, geared towards functional fitness. What is functional fitness? Straight from the Mayo Clinic: While using various muscles in the upper and lower body at the same time, functional fitness exercises also emphasize core stability. For example, a squat is a functional exercise because it trains the muscles used when you rise up and down from a chair or pick up low objects.
Usually, you'll start seeing results in a few weeks. Stick with it, and you'll really see the benefits!
Our workouts will improve your cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, even though we don't do typical "cardio." You'll gain strength and power and flexibility. You'll notice improvements in your coordination, balance and agility. Really, it's your whole physical system. But the benefits aren't just physical. We believe getting fit works its magic on the mind, too. Seriously. Just ask our members. This is not your average gym. Every class is structured. Think of it like small group personal training. Every class is led by an experienced instructor, whom will follow the following class outline all in under 60 minutes!
- Warmup
- Mobility
- Skill / Strength
- Workout of the day (WOD)
- Cool Down (optional, takes place after 60 minute class time)
Common FAQs
I'm nervous. Am I going to be able to do this?
Don't worry! Every CrossFit gym has a different culture. The Loft community is inviting, supportive, and comforting. We check our ego at the door and welcome all members with respect. Also, our focus is on form and mechanics. This means you'll stay safe! We will encourage you, but we won't push you too far, too fast. With great trainers and workouts, CrossFit is beneficial for just about anyone. All you need is the right attitude and an open mind. Commit, be accountable, create new habits. The rest will follow.
OK, I'm game! How do I start?
Start with a free intro class. Then start in our beginner series of classes, called CrossFit Beginner. Please see CrossFit Beginner for more details.
I have an injury. Is CrossFit safe for me?
Tell us where it hurts. We're experienced at making adjustments that allow just about everyone to participate. We've helped many clients work around nagging old injuries. Just make sure to fully disclose your concerns before class.
But I don't know the lingo?
Don't worry, we'll teach you what you need to know. For starters, WOD is an abbreviation for Workout Of the Day. What that means is we mix things up, so you'll do something different every day. It keeps you motivated, and you won't get bored.
How long is a typical class?
Classes are 60 minutes from start to finish.
Is there an initiation fee? Or a long-term contract?
Nope! Memberships are monthly and billed on your start date. We can upgrade, downgrade or cancel your account with 48 hours written (email) notice. In addition we can put your account on hold if you will be out of town for an extended period of time. More detailed information about memberships here.
Why are there different level classes (beginner/intermediate/advanced)?
That's part of what sets us apart. Splitting our classes into different levels allows us to coach you appropriately, whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced athlete. Participating in the class that's right for your skills and athletic abilities means you'll learn more, you'll feel more comfortable, and you'll get better results.
We've found this strategy allows every client to be more successful over the long-term – which is what we're all about: helping you make changes over time in an effective and safe way.
What kind of equipment do you use?
You won't find fancy machines or elliptical trainers or mirrors at our gym. You will find pull up bars, gymnastics rings, barbells, tires, kettle bells, climbing ropes, and medicine balls, among other toys. We'll teach you how to use them all. We believe that's part of what sets CrossFit apart. Machines operate in a static plane – which is not the way the body moves in real life. Machines rob you of properly developing the smaller stabilizing muscles. Our training methods allow your body to move as it's supposed to and develop stability and true strength.
I'm in really great shape. Can I just jump into regular classes?
Not quite yet. We'll still need you to sign up for a baseline workout and fitness evaluation and make sure you understand the movements. We've found this approach is beneficial for everyone. Schedule a 20-minute intro before a regularly scheduled beginner class or call us at 206.557.4748 to schedule an hour long free orientation.
I've been CrossFitting for days/months/years. Can I just jump in?
Yes, of course. But we still need you to communicate with us! Shoot us an email or give the gym a call at 206.557.4748. If you are checking us out your first class is free.
Do you have childcare?
Childcare is do-it-yourself here. We have a lounge area with a TV and couch but it is up to you to supervise your children. If you are interested in parent/tot classes, please contact us.
Do you have showers?
Not at this time.
Where do I park?
There is generally good street parking on California and the surrounding side streets. Please respect our neighbors at the dentist's office, residential homes and Holy Rosary. Do not park in their parking spots unless outside of their business hours.

Amnesty won't solve illegals issue: SUHAKAM
The Malaysia Human Rights Commission (SUHAKAM) says an amnesty is not the answer to the illegal immigrant issue in the State. "There is no point in implementing the same ineffective system again or a system that we know has failed. It would be another waste of time and expense," said its Vice Chairman, Tan Sri Simon Sipaun, here yesterday. Simon said the Government had implemented an amnesty system before and even extended it, but the illegal immigrants just ignored it. "And how come those who had'returned to their country through the amnesty system were able to come back? "The amnesty system should not arise., anymore. I believe the illegals do not take our law seriously," he said. Simon said nobody knows how many illegal immigrants there are now in the State, but they break Malaysian laws, they should be punished. As the problem has been going on for 35 years, consuming a lot of time, energy and money, the authorities should implement a more viable solution, he added. Asked if the Government should take thumb prints from the illegal immigrants before their repatriation, Simon said the Immigration Department should be aware of the new and effective technologies being used in other countries to solve the problem once and for all in the interest of the country's security.

DIY stone sconces
February 20, 2012 § Leave a comment
I love lighting. You wouldn't know it from the cave I live in and my eyes' peculiar sensitivity to light, but I do. My lack of lighting and the blankness of my walls have become a fixture on this blog and it just so happens that I came upon this post from The Noshery. I'm still not convinced about drilling holes and hanging things on my walls but I like the simplicity of this project. Just a thought, you could use old book ends for this instead of having to knock together loose pieces of wood. But I'll let them explain better how it's done here.
Pearl strand lamp

I want! I currently have a naked bulb hanging on my curtain rod (long story short: friend gift now too big for living room but I still need light). I think this idea will do quite well. There's no tutorial but you'll figure it out from the photos from Design Dazzle. Bonus: I get to use my new pliers. Hooray!

This week has again confirmed for me that the government really either has to seriously improve the public transport system and with it safety on the streets, or get rid of taxes for selling/buying your primary property. Going south instead of north from Johannesburg we saw almost as much heavy traffic going in, as I often see going north.
Looking at the traffic and the time people spend in it makes me so relieved I live in the suburbs near to the business centres.
Which all led me to thinking about how cities evolve. Where people live and work, how the patterns emerge over years and decades, how they change.
Of course all cities succumb to pressure and change how they function. My own home city has several 'business centres'. I use city in the lose connotation, not defined by municipal boundaries but by the occupation of land in one area for business, pleasure or living purposes.
I have occasion to work in any of the business centres and sometimes the industrial centres as well, sometimes during the same day/week. So I have to be flexible in my travelling. But so many go to just one building and home again. How dreadful to always have to drive through the same traffic, over and over with no relief in sight. Of course there is the advantage of not getting lost, which is a trick I seem to have perfected over time.
I believe the opening of the direct train connection between Johannesburg and Pretoria (which for years seems to have largely acted as a 'dormitory-city' for many of the people working in Johannesburg, has apparently greatly reduced the traffic pressure between the two. If the train does not become that monster of people standing and jostling for all of the time it could become a wonderful relief for many. The only problem is as soon as it becomes relief for very many in terms of not driving, it probably will become the overcrowded monster of discomfort.
A few years ago I read a book about how very advance comes with its own new problems. Of course that is the nature of humanity and how we live. So I'm really typing in circles now and should give up and go back to working.

NRL official demands rugby league grand final rematch
Update, 1.40pm: AN NRL spokesman said the situation regarding a staff member was being investigated.
"The NRL has been made aware of the matter which is currently under review," he said.
"We will not be making any further any further comment at this time."
Donnelly has spoken to The Northern Star and said he would make an official comment later today.
Original story: A RUGBY league official has accused referees and players of cheating and threatened to demand a replay of the A-Grade NRRRL final after his son's team lost the premiership to Ballina.
Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League chairman Robin Harley alleges Mike Donnelly, whose son Myles plays for losing team Cudgen, is demanding the game be replayed.
Ballina defeated Cudgen 32-24 at Kingsford Smith Park at Ballina on Sunday.
According to Harley, Donnelly, who is employed by the NRL as a development officer, is suffering from an acute attack of sour grapes about the result.
Harley said he believes Donnelly is furious after Cudgen player lock Anthony Flores was sent off in the opening minutes for a spear tackle on Ballina halfback Jess Perry.
This decision meant Cudgen played almost the whole game with 12 men.
"Mike is upset with the result, but we are quite comfortable with the way the game was refereed," he said.
"The referees have a review process, which they will look at, but the game will not be replayed."
Harley said everyone was welcome to their own opinion, but if someone is genuinely concerned with the way the game was played, there are processes to review the situation.
"Mike is dissatisfied with the result but he is taking all the wrong avenues and has accused the NRRRL and the ref and whole other people of cheating and is bringing the game into disrepute," he said.
"The thing that upsets me about the whole issue is Mike has thrown a whole of other people under the bus who are also passionate about the game."
Harley said any innuendo from Donnelly about Ballina's ability to hold a grand final was totally unwarranted.
"They have held the grand final on three of the past five years and there were not any issues of crowds, the venue or management of the event," he said.
"What he has done is gone right outside the bounds of how to handle these things."
However, Harley said he in no way blamed the Cudgen players or team management for Donnelly's attack on the game.
"I don't think his comments are associated in any way with what Cudgen think," he said.
"We (NRRRL) are not implying that Cudgen are associated with his position."

The panel will give interested young New Yorkers the opportunity to hear first hand from other young people who have started their careers in TV and film production with the help of the "Made in NY" Production Assistant Training Program, which provides free job training for those otherwise lacking access to the entertainment industry. The panel is free and open to the public; doors open at 6pm.
Developed in partnership between the Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting and nonprofit Brooklyn Workforce Innovations (BWI), the "Made in NY" PA Training Program provides unemployed and low-income New Yorkers with four weeks of free, intensive training that prepares them to work on New York City sets and in production offices.

Many graduates of the program have advanced to higher level positions in the locations and camera departments, among others.
"Made in NY" Production Assistants: A Peer-to-Peer Discussion will feature a panel of "Made in NY" PAs who will talk about their experiences working in the entertainment industry and the opportunities that they have received through their training. Representatives from BWI will also be on hand to answer questions about how to apply to the program.
"New York City is home to over 100,000 New Yorkers who make their living working behind the scenes," said Commissioner Katherine Oliver. "Our office is committed to diversifying our local industry through workforce development programs, like the "Made in NY" PA Training Program, so that more women, people of color, and economically disadvantaged New Yorkers have access to new opportunities in film and television production."

Initial entries were transferred from my Friendster account which I've used for I can't even remember how long. I don't get to check my account anymore so I decided to put them in here. That and the fact that Friendster is obsolete. With that being said, I would like you to please bear with me because I am a newbie. You can tell me if you think this or that is crap but then I would have to bear a grudge on you and visit a mangkukulam.
Oh yes, I forgot that this is about me. You don't need to know about me. But if you insist well then…
1. I am an anime/manga otaku. If you don't know what 'otaku' means, Google it. Update: Also, as of the release of The Boys MV last year, I have officially been morphed into a SONE. Yey! /o/
2. I wear black-framed glasses and almost all of my shirts are black. Just to be clear, I am not emo. I just like the color and how it's not dirt-prone. That is, I can lean on walls or lie on the grass without fear of having it all dirtied up.
3. I like cats. They're one of my absolute weaknesses (along with loads of other stuff which I won't tell lest you use them to bribe me or something). I especially love kittens. If I could take in every kitten I come across on the street, I will. But of course, I can't. OTL
4. I like to read. From kiddie books lying around to real classic novels, I'm all good. As long as it sustains my interest, I don't have a problem. I've read stuff from Gabriel Garcia Marquez to Haruki Murakami to Anais Nin. Yep, I've read Anais Nin. Teehee~
5. I like music. I mean, come on, who doesn't like music. I usually go for rock — like Paramore and Avril Lavigne. But I can also go to pop or classical music, if I feel like it. I love Debussy like I love The Beatles. I also play the guitar in my spare time and study some anime songs that I like. Ha.
There, 'nuff said. Anyways, welcome to my little world. Enjoy reading. And do leave comments. They're much, much appreciated. Also, feel free to subscribe or follow or add me to your blogroll if you find me interesting enough. It's fine, I won't bite. Also, majority of the images in this blog come from all over the Internet. Creds to you all. Please don't sue me.P.S. My beloved, self-Painted banner. XD

Abusing My Library Card
In addition to buying too many books, I also check out from the library. This usually ends up being a mistake because I forget to return them. I also forget to read them. Every week I visit the library at least once, accompanied with my trusty list of reading material. While gathering the books on the list I usually hear other books calling out my name. These books always have a catchy cover or poetic title promising hours of entertainment. Needless to say, they must come home with me, doomed to sit together in a pile until they are overdue.
I have the best intentions of reading these books, but somehow they remain unread as I move on to some other novel I read a review on or even a book that just happened to be resting beside my bed. Last week I had to pay $4 in library late fees. In my head I was cursing myself and thinking of the $1 hardbacks on the For Sale table, and the four treasures I could have found.
After being inspired by Nick Hornby's essays on buying books and then not reading them, I will try to establish some library accountability by posting a list of library books I check out. Maybe this will help me read them. Or maybe it will just reveal the depths of my illness.
Before I share my list keep in mind that I have an explanation for checking out each book. Something led me to each one.
The Song Reader– Lisa Tucker
Anthem Of A Reluctant Prophet– Joanne Proulx
Big Mouth & ugly girl– Joyce Carol Oates
Swann's Way– Marcel Proust
I will keep you updated on my reading. Or maybe my disappointment in myself for allowing them to collect dust and more late fees.

Chaney, I believe I have such a sickness that you speak of. I find that I am addicted to purchasing and borrowing books that I never have time to read and usually know I have no time to read. I visit my local library and check out only after my arms are overflowing with books and I cannot carry even one more title. I read maybe 2 or 3 of them and rack up $12 fines sometimes. Speaking of library books, you have just reminded me that my books are due on June 4th. Hopefully I can get them there on time, this time. 🙂

I was wondering who this was. I'm glad you like that Neko Case album, I've had it on repeat for like 2 months and I'm going to see her in Nashville next month, even though I went and saw her in Birmingham in April. If you get a chance to see her on this tour you should try to, she's amazing.
I also check out lots and lots of books, I'll end up reserving like 10 books to pick up, kind of forget, and then have to carry out a pile of books. I'm not that great at returning them either, but I try to always return a book whenever I pick one up. I paid $18 in library fees a few months ago and I tried to think of it as giving it to the community, not as being punished for turning in books late.
Question: Is that "putting a positive spin on things" or "justification"? Something to ponder.
Hope you're doing well, glad you are blogging!

I loved The Song Reader and Big Mouth and Ugly Girl. Lisa Tucker is one of my favorites. I love your blog.

In conjunction with a member of parliament Tembo Trading is currently designing a model primary school after the secondary school started in Ngomano. The success of this pilot project garnered the attention of the Ministry of Education and government officials. Our goal is to show the Akre-King Transformational Model can be used and effective at any level of education. The sooner students are introduced to this model the greater impact it will have on their educational outcome.
Pilot Project – Started a secondary school in a rural, impoverished area of southeastern Kenya in 2005. In August of 2010, the school campus was on its way to becoming self-sustaining. The campus consists of 25 acres with 23 buildings; greenhouse and drip irrigation; crops; fishponds; and economic development (Kiondos of Hope, leather business) for families. The school was number one in the district in its first year sitting national exams. While the national dropout rate is 50%, our dropout rate was 2.3%. The national dropout rate due to pregnancy is 50%; ours was 0.5%. Upon completion of the school campus we chose to leave the school, as originally planned, to the board of directors and the village. Armed with the knowledge we gained from our experiences in Ngomano we moved on to continuing the process of spreading the Akre-King Transformational Model © to other areas of Kenya.
Nursery and Primary Schools, Ngomano, Kenya
We have agreements with the parent committee for Ngomano ECD/Nursery and Primary Schools. Our goal is to bring the King-Akre Transformational Model © to these schools. This will allow the students to perform at an even higher level when entering secondary school. Ultimately, children will experience our model of teaching from nursery through graduation.
In the fall of 2012, we completed a remodel of the nursery school. We provide scholarships ($75 for one student for one year) for nursery school students since parents often can't pay school fee.
Kanjira Early Childhood Development (Nursery School) and Primary School.
As of October 2012 an agreement was signed for TTEP to take over the administrative and teaching responsibilities of these two schools in Kendu Bay. Teacher training in the Akre-King Transformational Model has started. Results have already been seen by the overall KCPE score improving and the overall teaching methodology of the teachers improved to reflect their training in the Akre-King Transformational Model. The total student population is over 400.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd have been forced to spend time apart in recent months due to his ongoing Starboy: Legend of the Fall Tour and according to a new report, he "hates" being away from the 24-year-old singer and actress.
As The Weeknd continues to travel the world, an insider claims the Earned It singer has been missing his girlfriend.
"He hates being away from his true love for any length of time," a source told Hollywood Life on Sunday. "Abel used to have lots of flings on the road when he was single but he was always a gentleman about it. He'd even order them breakfast in the morning and send them off with a bouquet of flowers!"
Gomez and The Weeknd started dating several months ago and chose to go public with their relationship in January. A short time later, Gomez and The Weeknd enjoyed a romantic vacation in Europe before the start of The Weeknd's tour.
Although Gomez did attend several of her boyfriend's shows, she has been concentrating on her new music in recent weeks and didn't travel with The Weeknd during his latest trip to Paris.
"The Weeknd even told friends that he hardly even notices beautiful girls at his shows anymore," the source continued. "All he thinks about is Selena. His buddies would not be the least surprised if he's going to pop the question soon. He loves women, don't get me wrong, but ultimately he is a one-woman man now and it seems like Selena is that one woman."
For more of Selena Gomez and The Weeknd, check out the clip below of their appearance at the Met Gala in New York City this past May.

Dave and I kept Lucy and Emma Monday through about noon yesterday. Both girls were very good but sure keep us running. I had to have a tea party with Emma on the floor and of course Lucy just wants to be on the go constantly so not much else gets done. Sometimes I wonder how I did this with four kids......

A five-vehicle accident left one woman dead and sent another three to the hospital, while shutting down traffic on southbound Interstate 71 for hours Tuesday.
Sherry Bray, 48, of Pendleton, died after a box truck struck her vehicle and pushed it under a semi-truck, Oldham County Police said. She died at the scene due to her injuries.
Oldham County Police were dispatched to the accident around 9:30 a.m. The accident occurred near the Oldham/Jefferson County line, over Haunz Lane.
The Henry County Lady Cats opened their season at home on March 18 and fell to Sacred Heart 5-4 in eight innings.
The Lady Cats struck first when they scored a run in the bottom of the second. Katie James laid down a suicide squeeze bunt with two outs to score Alison Harmon who was running for Madison Rabourn. Rabourn singled with one out to start the rally.
The Cats gave up their lead in the top of the fifth when Sacred Heart got two runs on a single, two errors, a sacrifice and a fielder's choice groundout.
The Henry County Wildcats managed to squeeze in three games last week despite the wintry weather in the middle of the week and got their first victory of the season with an 8-0 win over Williamstown on Friday night.
The Wildcats got good pitching and enough offense to get the win according to Coach Stuart Dill.
We pitched really well," Dill said. "We only walked two batters the entire game. Dakota Estes pitched four complete innings and Blake Prather pitched the last three.
The Eminence Warriors opened their season at home on Friday and fell to the Frankfort Panthers 10-5. The young Warriors showed much improvement over last season both offensively and defensively in their debut. The Panthers beat the Warriors 11-1 in five innings last season.
The game started poorly for the Warriors as Frankfort hit a home run on the second pitch of the game and went on to add three more runs in the inning.
The Eminence Warriors opened the season with two home games last week. On Thursday night the young Warrior squad fell to Carroll County 15-0 and Friday Whitefield Academy defeated them 17-0.
Coach Jerry Martin is trying to build the team almost from scratch and is attempting to set the tone of playing winning softball first.
"We have to get rid of the defeatist attitude first," Martin said. "We had some kids who expected to get beat before we went on the field. We should never accept defeat until it happens."

Glasgow Rangers are reportedly moving to keep Mark Warburton at Ibrox.
According to the Daily Mail, Rangers are planning to offer manager Mark Warburton a new contract this summer to keep him away from the clutches of English clubs.
The Gers moved to bring in Warburton last summer following his departure from Brentford, where he had not only won promotion from League One, but also guided the Bees to the Championship play-offs.
The former city trader was seen as a huge appointment for Rangers, and so it has proved after a sensational first season at Ibrox for the Englishman.
Warburton has won the Scottish Championship title as well as the Petrofac Training Cup, and can make it a domestic treble by beating Hibernian in the Scottish Cup final later today.
Unsurprisingly, Warburton's exploits in Glasgow appear to have triggered interest, with The Telegraph reporting that Fulham were interested earlier this season, whilst The Scottish Sun reported earlier this month that Everton are keen to land Warburton as Martinez's replacement.
Now though, the Daily Mail report that, despite Warburton being just one year into a three-year deal at Ibrox, Rangers are hoping to tie Warburton down to a new and improved contract this summer.
That should keep Warburton at Rangers for many years, and whilst speculation over a return to England will surround him throughout his time at Ibrox, this new deal should give the Gers some added security as they prepare for life in the Scottish Premiership.
Do you think Warburton deserves a new contract?

Chicago SEO
Fake PageRank. Is this new to you? It was new to me until I saw a link request come through the other day from a website that claimed to have a Page Rank of 5. Of course, being dutiful, I checked the site out, not really intending on taking the bait, but noticed something odd. There were only 5 articles on the site and the domain age was only a few months. How could this website have a PageRank 5? Let's back up though...I'm going to tell you what a fake page rank actually is, how to check for it, and unfortunately, how to get one. Since PageRank is important for Search Engine Optimization, it's not surprising that people have found a way around getting high PR websites the ethical way. Read along to see how shady SEOs are scamming poor webmasters into paying for links on websites that will soon lose their relevancy.
Fake PageRank: What is it?
A real PageRank is Google's way of giving a website credibility and authority. A Fake PageRank is this: when a domain expires, the PageRank of the domain is still valid until Google updates their PageRank for all domains. Some cunning SEOs have bought up those high PR domains and built websites on them in a matter of days creating...a brand new website with AWESOME PageRank. But the PageRank is from the old website. Most definitely not the new one.
How to GET Fake PageRank
Just like I said - buy an expired domain with awesome PR. If you participate in Link Exchanges, which I suggest you do NOT - watch out for websites that are new, have little content on them, or appear to be spammy. They probably are!
How to check for Fake PageRank
The easiest way? Search for the domain in Google search, http, .com and all. What you'll find is a ton of 404 Not Found links from the previous website. You can also find out how long the website has been up by checking WhoIs and any Domain Registrar. If the website is less than a year old - the PR is most likely bought and paid for.

Our family loves grilled salmon. This is an easy and flavorful recipe that we use often, as our kids really like it. The chipotle chile really adds some heat, so you may want to add less or more of the chipotle, depending on your families' preferences.
I found this recipe in Cooks Illustrated several years ago.
Grilled Maple-Chipotle Glazed Salmon
4 Salmon fillets
1/4 cup Maple Syrup
2 Tbs. Soy Sauce
1 tsp. minced Chipotle Chile in Adobo
2 Tbs. Lime Juice
4 Lime wedges (optional)
1. Stir together maple syrup, soy sauce and minced chipotle chile in a small saucepan. Bring syrup mixture to a simmer over medium high heat. Cook until slightly thickened (about 3 to 4 minutes). Remove saucepan from heat. Whisk in lime juice. Reserve 2 Tbs. of glaze.
2. Turn the grill burners to high and close the lid. After 15 minutes, turn all but one burner to medium-low. Prepare the grill with cooking spray (or use a wad of paper towels dipped in vegetable oil).
3. Place salmon flesh side down on hot side of grill and cook until grill marked (1 to 2 minutes). Flip fillets to skin side down. Brush fish with glaze. Cover grill and cook until salmon is opaque halfway up thickness. (3 to 4 minutes for 1 1/2 inch thick fillets).
4. Brush fillets with glaze again. Flip fish onto flesh side down on prepared (oiled) cooler side of grill. Cook until browned and crust has formed. Transfer to platter and brush with reserved 2 tablespoons of glaze. Serve with lime wedges (optional).

Secret Pokémon Campaign
Maximillian West
Maximillian, he gets upset when you call him Max, is a trainer from Pallet Town whom I have known for a while now. He is currently making his way around Kanto collecting Gym badges. His last known location was Cerulean City, however this information is rather dated.
David's Assesment: Max is from my home town, so I would like to say that I know him really well, but I don't. This guy is a loner, and a somewhat scary one at that. Be very careful around him. His battle style is brutal, he plays to win no matter what. That is his only objective, and he cares nothing for his Pokemon except for their ability to fight well. For this reason his pokemon tend to be powerful, if not actually happy. When Maximillian battles be ready for powerful Pokemon, fighting to win. What Max lacks though is creativity. He can be counted on to fight hard but in a very straightforward manner. I would highly suggest battling this trainer if at all possible. It is a look into a completely different training style for most.
