I have made the decision to hide this site, and I will no longer write any more posts.
I appreciate Piece of Mindful and Fakeologist linking to me, but I was stunned with the amount of traffic I was receiving and the number of pages each visitor would read. This made me uncomfortable.
The more I did my Wiki research, the more incredible bombshells I would stumble over. It eventually occurred to me that the level of information I had access to was at a classified level. Perhaps mid-level, and more than many agents.
I knew that by posting this kind of stuff, 95% of it completely original on the internet, I was going to be monitored VERY closely and eventually shut down, since WordPress and the open-source movement is an intelligence front. You see, they don't need Malware to hack sites like WordPress, they just have access to everybody's back-end already. I don't think low-level disinfo agents have access, but if they need it, it can be requested.
I am being selective about who I accept into this site, already turning down a few suspicious requests. I prefer to keep this as quiet as possible.
Rather than write posts about it, here is a bullet point list of a few more shocking bombshells I was going to write about but decided not to.
- Vincent Van Gogh is a fictional character, done for art sales.
- The entire British royal family is not related and not real royalty. They are actors and all the marriages, divorces, births, etc. that we have been told about are faked.
- King Tut, Nefertiti, and Akhenton never existed. Their tombs are fakes done for tourism purposes. Also fake is the Antikythera Mechanism, Voynich Manuscript, Amphipolis, Phillip II's tomb, the Terracotta army, Durrington Walls, Nefertiti's bust, and the bodies at Pompey.
- Nikola Tesla was an intelligence agent from the beginning. The War of the Currents was fake and his feud with Marconi was fake. Everything he did including Wardenclyffe and Colorado Springs was funded by intelligence.
- Chemtrails was a conspiracy theory begun by intelligence. I am not sure what the purpose of Chemtrails is but it is not pollution. I personally like the ionsphere theory from September Clues.
- GPS satellites do not exist.
- HAARP is still active, and it has nothing to do with mind control or tsunami/earthquake technology, which doesn't exist.
- All disaster casualty and property damage totals are inflated. This is done to steal more aid from the charities, which are fronts anyway.
- James Randi and the entire CSICOP skeptic community is intelligence. You need to ask why that is.
- The Transcendentalists were all intelligence. So was Mark Twain, and pretty much any famous author you can think of. And no, his birth and death on Haley's Comet is not real.
- Galileo was never tried by the Catholic Church. It was an invention to make the Church look bad and science look good. Giordano Bruno was not executed and Copernicus is a fictional character.
- There is no such thing as synesthesia, and there are doubts about color blindness. I am not sure if color blindness is completely fake, or just certain forms of it.
- Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were all real people, but all of their works are lost. Everything we know was written by intelligence during the Renaissance. Add Cicero and Herodotus to that list too.
- IBM Deep Blue was a hoax. Kasparov did not play a computer, but a pre-scripted chess match to make IBM look good.
- Alexander the Great never existed. He is a fictional creation. His father may have existed but not him.
- Erik the Red never existed and there were no colonies in Greenland. This puts a question mark on colonies in North America too.
- The pharaoh Khufu never existed. He was invented to give the Pyramids and the Sphinx a creator in order to fit the neat 3500 BC timeline for evolution. The Pyramids are much older.
- Blackbeard's treasure has already been secretly found. The Queen Anne's Revenge wreck off North Carolina is fake.
- Lascaux cave is fake, the Lake Missoua glacier event is fake, Moas never existed, Otzi is fake, Toba eruption is fake, trilobites never existed, and 75% of species did not go extinct during the Cretaceous period. And no, there was no ice shelf in the Bering Strait for Native Americans to walk across. To add to that, the DNA evidence of Native Americans matching Asians and Siberians is fake.
- Black Plague was exaggerated or never happened.
- Nobody was executed or forced to convert during the Spanish Inquisition.
- There was no slavery in Rome and there were no gladiators. The Colosseum was for acting. This was done to make Rome look like savages and like a lesser empire. It was also done to excuse modern slavery and make it appear like we are more advanced.
- Modern slavery was abolished because it was no longer profitable. Ethics had nothing to do with it.
- Homer never existed and the Trojan war never happened. All archaeological evidence is fake.
- Nietzsche was intelligence and faked his death.
- D.D. Home and all the spiritualists were intelligence. All the "exposing" of fake mediums during the 19th century were staged events. Why did they have to stage these "exposures" is a question you need to ask.
There are many things that ARE real that I'm not going to list, because despite the heaviness of the information above, that information is even heavier and may bring even more doubters. So I will keep that secret. I have had a few sleepless nights.
A lot of people want more evidence for the things I list. That is understandable. What I say to them is to look closer at the pictures, stories, etc. and you will begin to see that everything pieces together. You may be surprised and shocked at how true it all is. You will then understand why I am deciding to stop posting.

Indianapolis, IN- If the Indianapolis Colts played the Miami Dolphins every week, receiver T.Y. Hilton would break many NFL records. Last year as a rookie, Hilton had 102 yards on six receptions and a touchdown.
After a disappointing game against the Oakland Raiders in Week 1, where Hilton only had three receptions for 20 yards, Colts fans were pleading with new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton to get Hilton more involved in the offense.
Hamilton made sure to do just that in today's game with Miami, as Hilton had a career-high 124 yards on six receptions. His most memorable was a nice 47-yard grab over Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes leading into the two minute warning in the first half. Hilton, who only stands at 5-foot-9, just out jumped Grimes for the ball on a deep heave, which lead to a score.
The second-year receiver had all 124 of his yards in the first half.
If Indianapolis can get this type of production out of Hilton every game, they will have a new two-headed receiving monster with him and Reggie Wayne. It's very reminiscent of the Wayne and Marvin Harrison days in the early 2000's.
The Dolphins are going to have nightmares of Hilton, as he now has 226 yards on 12 receptions in two career games against them. They should be used to it, however, as he played in college at Florida International, which is near Miami.
Despite the loss, the Colts had at least one bright spot leaving today's game.

Where ya been man? This is one of those things that keeps a lot of people from going back to the gym. That overwhelming fear of having to face the people that know you haven't been there in a while. Myself, I tend to use it as the motivation to make sure that I never be that guy coming back after not being there a while. Actually if I have to miss two days in a row I feel like crap, much less three or four. Think of it as a new form of motivation, being the person that gives people a ribbing for not being at the gym because you on the other hand have been there every day.

Exercise of the Day from The Health Whacko Gym Encyclopedia of Leg Exercises ..
Deadlift (Dumbbell Stiff Leg)
Target Muscles: Hamstrings, Gluteus, Lower Back
Starting Position:
1. Grasp a barbell with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, using an overhand grip.
2. Stand up straight, looking directly ahead.
1. Keep your back flat and legs nearly straight.
2. Bend forwards from the hips until your back is parallel to the ground. You should feel a stretch in your hamstrings and glutes. As you bend forwards, your hips and glutes should move backwards and your body should be centred through your heels.
3. At the bottom of the movement, do not allow the weight to touch the floor and don't round your back.
4. Hold for a count of one then forcefully contract your gluteus and hamstrings to raise your torso back into the erect starting position.
• Keep your back flat. Rounding your back will increase the risk of injury.
• Do not lower the bar too far. The bar should be hanging at arms' length below you. Going below this point hyper flexes the spine, putting it in a vulnerable position and increasing injury risk to the lower back.


text: If you didn't go to culinary school, and you aren't obsessed with Food Network, then you may not be aware of the fact that you should be layering your seasoning. This means, quite simply, seasoning every step of the way. Of course, many of us don't do it, and it can be somewhat disastrous if you wind up OVER-seasoning your food. But the point is to season your food before you are done cooking, and definitely before you are about to plate it. It might be daunting at first, considering many home-cooks are afraid of over-seasoning their food, and it's true: you can always add more salt but you can't take it away. However, if you get into the habit of seasoning your food earlier on, you'll notice a difference. Adding salt during the cooking process makes food taste flavorful and bold; adding it AFTERWARDS makes it taste salty. So get in the habit of seasoning in stages, tasting as you go along. It's all about setting the groundwork for an amazing dish.

So, what does professional data recovery stand for? In brief, it's nothing but a retrieval of the vital information, that has been temporarily lost, unintentionally deleted or corrupted, from the hard disk drives, solid-state drives, RAID arrays and other internal/external data storage platforms or backup drives.
In opposite to vast majority of do-it-yourselfers in Santa Rosa, certified data retrieval specialists in ACE Data Recovery use the advantage of proven solutions and well-thought-out strategy to guarantee 100% safe data extraction from any type of data storage unit received from Santa Rosa, CA.
Last but not least, the customer policy of ACE Data Recovery allows providing high-class data retrieval services to really wide range of PC/Mac users in Santa Rosa, CA, from individual users owning home PCs to medium and large businesses keeping tons of sensitive data on the latest RAID/NAS platforms.
"Many thanks!"
My experience w ACE Data recovery was awesome. Took my external HD in for a diagnosis as it simply quit running. Was told there would be no charge just to see what the issue(s) were. They were better than their word. Mr. Don Wells examined the drive for any problems and found my power cord was defective. Since no repair was needed, there would be no charge per company policy. Mr. Wells was very polite and professional and answered all my questions thoroughly. From calling in to set up the appointment to dropping off the HD, everyone was very friendly and customer oriented. If I need such services in the future I know where to go.Bart G.

As part of the initiative of the administration headed by Governor Francisco "Kiko" Vega de Lamadrid, to consolidate Baja California as the target of major Pacific cruises and the second in Mexico, Assistant Secretary of State Tourism Ives Lelevier Gabriel Ramos, chaired the meeting of the Executive Committee of Ensenada Cruise, which was held with the participation of the Port Authority, the Cruise Terminal and the Marketing Committee of Ensenada.
At this meeting the state official reported that activities are implemented through a work plan together with tourist servers to thereby achieve the consolidation of Ensenada in target markets. These actions range from providing the Committee cruises efficient financial operation scheme and an impact of arrival at the cruise terminal, among others.
"We are working hard hand sector to increase the supply and improve the quality of services offered to visitors, so that we get more interest from the cruise and increasingly decide to descend from the boats to learn the fate ", said.
He said it is very important to establish working arrangements between authorities and entrepreneurs as tourist satisfaction is key to return to the destination.
"Much of the cruise we receive come from California and our goal is to show the destination so that choose to return by road; thus would attract a greater number of visitors not only to Ensenada, but to other destinations such as Tijuana and Playas Rosarito, "he said.
Explained in detail the work plan to follow this 2016, which includes among other things develop Back2Ensenada program a technological, modern and interactive platform, which allows better monitoring of the benefits of this program.
"We are also in the process of creating a mobile application called 'Ens-Guide', it will work as a guide for the passenger and may be used by pre cruise and post shipment; it is already developed in 70% and estimate to be ready in March this year to be presented during the annual "Cruise Shipping Miami" in which Baja California participates and this year will be held from 11 to 13 March, "said Lelevier Ramos, who said that these actions are aimed at making the destination a friendlier place for visitors.
He further reported that the promotional efforts prior to embarkation in the ports of origin, so that since passengers to board the vessel have to hand over information on the fate will be redoubled.
Finally, he stressed that working hard through the Public Trust for Tourism Promotion, which for Ensenada had a financial ceiling of just over 8 million during 2015 and this year will allocate at least 9.7 million pesos for promotion This figure could even be exceeded estimates derived from the good results expected in hotel occupancy of the port.
"Entrepreneurs in Ensenada that make up the Marketing Committee are designing major promotional campaigns to be carried out inside and outside the state also evaluated and supporting important events in tradition as the Baja 1000 and Harvest Festival" he concluded.

PayPerPost,what is it about?
When I started blogging, I used to see payperpost badges displayed on some of the blogs that I visited, and I can't just help wondering what it is all about until I also signed up. Like me back then, I know that new bloggers and some old ones are yet to know what PPP program is. And for those wondering, it is a program where you get paid for blogging or sharing your honest opinion about products/services, websites and companies for the payperpost advitisers. Qualification is quite simple; you just need to have an open-minded, candid and honest opinion of the products/services rendered by the selected advertisers. The good thing there is no one will impose what you don't like on you. You get to select the opportunity you know you like most after searching through the long lists of opportunities available and there are lots and lots of them to choose from. I love PayPerPost because of its simple and honest approach to money making through blog marketing. There are series of qualification criteria that your blog must meet before approval (but nothing too stringent there). Once your blog is approved, you just select the opportunities best suited to you, pen your opinion, get it approved and bingo, you make cool and straightforward cash. I know the cool cash part will interest you as a blogger; i was interested enough to get hooked also and i might just redesign my blog with the money I will make,you know,give it a proffessional touch. Just take your interest a little bit further, visit PayPerPost to check out the site yourself. PS: I signed up for PPP and just got my blog approved.Can't wait to start blogging the payperpost way. See you there soon.

Marissa Semkiw reports for TheRebel.media:
Humber College LGBTQ students, in conjunction with LGBTQ awareness week, are pushing a "safe washroom" campaign for transgendered students.
The campaign poster reads: "If you're in a public washroom and you think someone's gender does not match the sign on the door, follow these steps:
"1. Don't worry about it. They know where they belong."
But how comfortable will that make everyone else feel?
I asked students what they thought. Watch how some responses changed after I added some important information to my question.

Exploration Potential: Copper
The regional historic exploration data for the 11,240 hectare land holding, combined with exploration activities conducted in the 2007 and 2008 support the interpretation that copper mineralization is related to a very large porphyry-driven, iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) system with an excellent potential for locating additional target areas and resources.
Study of copper and molybdenum soil and rock geochemical patterns in relation to geology indicate that the copper mineralization at San Antonio is controlled by brittle deformation in the form of faults and fractures and by breccia bodies formed by intersecting zones of faults or fractures.
A number of clear structural corridors or trends defined by faults and fractures, airborne linears and importantly the alignment of geochemical anomalies, have been defined. These corridors are aligned in different directions with a NE-SW and NW-SE set being particularly important. WNW-ESE and E-W directions are also present.
A mineralization model in which fracture zones or structural corridors and intersection of these corridors to form breccias, seems an important guide for future exploration. Mineralizing fluids from underlying intrusive events can be trapped in structures parallel to the various corridors or in cross structures within corridor. In areas of greater structural complexity (intersecting fracture directions) breccias appear to form. These often provide ideal sponges for mineralization such as at Luz del Cobre and the large zone of potential copper and molybdenum mineralization in the central portion of the Sapuchi breccia.
Various copper exploration targets have been identified to date:
- Possible extension of Luz del Cobre
- Trion
- Ventana
- El Tigre
- Brindena
- Sapo
- Sapuchi
Extension of Luz del Cobre
The Luz del Cobre deposit is open along at least two sides:
- Continuation to the west underneath Calvario,
- Towards the southwest ("Southwest Extension")
Luz del Cobre Extension:
Section through Calvario Extension:
Section through Southwest Extension:
In 2007 and 2008, exploration drilling near Luz del Cobre had defined two additional zones of copper mineralizations which subsequently were included in the resources of Luz del Cobre. The first of these zones (referred to as the southwest extension) is a continuation of the Luz del Cobre body within a north trending structural corridor, on the south-western end of the mineralized body. The second zone is called Calvario and is located 100 metres to the west of the planned Luz del Cobre pit in continuation of the Luz del Cobre mineralization. The limits to these additional mineralizations have not been fully defined and remain open for further expansion.
Trion Target
Along and at the southern flank of the ridge that runs for more than 1 kilometre to west of Luz del Cobre historic exploration work and follow-up work between the years 2006 and 2008 by the predecessor company of Red Tiger Mining has outlined a copper target with potential for copper mineralization, and copper has been found within breccias, in structures and in stockworks zones within the structural corridor. The mineralization is of the oxide-mixed type, however, the possibility of deeper sulphide mineralization cannot be excluded. The currently known mineralization appears to be acid leachable. The goal of the work has been to locate additional mill feed to extend the life of the Luz del Cobre.
Between 1968 and 1972 Minera Trion, a joint venture with Mexican mining group Penoles as the operator, conducted exploration in the Trion area that included surface work, the drilling of 22 core and rotary drill holes and the construction of two short adits.
In the late 2000s, detailed mapping of the Trion area was conducted, accompanies by additional 471 rock chip samples and construction of access roads. 23 cored drill holes to depths between 50 metres and 100 metres were brought down.
The work has identified a 500 metres long and 100 metres wide structural corridor coinciding with copper anonalies and ore-grade copper values (+0.25 % Copper) on surface and in drill holes found within breccias, in structures and in stockworks. The work conducted so far suggests that the zone has potential for additional feed to the Luz del Cobre project (the pit is located just 500 metres to the east.
Future follow-up work would consist of a resource modelling and open pit simulation on the existing data base and, if required and justified, metallurgical testing and further follow-up drilling.
Ventana Target
Ventana is a conceptual greenfield target located about 1,000 metres to the northeast of Luz del Cobre following the southwest to northeast structural trend which regionally appears to line up the major mineralizations at San Antonio.
The presence of a strong magnetic (total magnetic field) anomaly and a radiometric high, extending to the northeast from Luz del Cobre combined with visible rock alterations by iron oxide staining and old Minera Sanex reports noting alteration/mineralization similar to Luz del Cobre, combined with the vicinity of Luz del Cobre, makes Ventana a viable follow-up target (mapping and surface rock chip) geochemistry).
El Tigre Target (Copper and Gold)
El Tigre is situated approximately 3 kilometers west southwest from Luz del Cobre. The area initially became of interest because of the persistent strong copper and gold anomaly from soil (and later rock chip) sampling. The prospect occurs along a northeast trending high angle fault contact between (older) quartzite and skarn, both units part of the San Antonio Formation. The contact occurs along the crest of a ridge with prominent exposures of quartzite, while the flanks of the hill are largely covered, but where exposed there is often strong alteration
Five core holes were drilled in year 1995 and one in 2005. All holes encountered copper mineralization at or very near the surface, with the intervals in the first four holes appearing to be leachable oxides. No other holes are present in the area, so the mineralization is open in all directions. Although the grades are modest in the overall intervals, they approach ore grade, and have shorter intercepts of ore grade.
El Tigre largely requires additional drilling to determine the size, grade and mineral species of the mineralized body. Preparatory work will include new road construction that will allow additional mapping and sampling of the area and may assist in better targeting the follow-up holes.
Brindena Taget (Copper and Gold)
This is an area located 2 to 3 kilometres northwest of Luz del Cobre with coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies. A strong series of east -- northeast magnetic anomalies are present, and soil sampling shows strongly anomalous responses in several elements. The western most line which was sampled has a broad open ended copper, gold and molybdenum anomaly. Geological mapping and continuation of geochemical surveys is recommended.
Sapo Targets
Moving to the western sector of the San Antonio Property, various oxide copper mineralizations were encountered in an area denominated "Sapo", about 8 kilometres to the southwest of Luz del Cobre. In 2008 the Company reported from this area that mapping, geochemical sampling and trenching identified new targets exposing oxidized copper mineralization.
The areas of mineralization show fine grained, fractured siltstones and slates that have been intruded by andesite dikes, a possible source of mineralizing fluids. Mineralization occurs along steep fractures and also along bedding planes within a typically north easterly structural block The mineralized block appears to have a minimum width of 100 metres, a strike length of at least 200 metres and a vertical thickness measured at over 100 metres. 7 cored drill holes concluded in 2008 encountered copper mineralization in three targets very near the surface, in intervals and grades of potential ore grade magnitude.
Carrizo Target
This is conceptually one of the prime exploration targets of the San Antonio Property.
It is situated in the middle of the San Javier-San Antonio Mineral District about 6 kilometres to the southwest of Luz del Cobre. Carrizo is a prominent ridge which shows a cluster of geophysical and geochemical anomalies. Worth noting is that uranium anomalies, a common accessory element in iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits shows up at Carrizo, at Sapo as well as at Luz del Cobre along with a few other places.
Petrographic examination of samples from the area suggested the rocks have encouraging potassic alteration. Areas of intensive silification with disseminated pyrite (and traces of aresonpyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite) were noted along drill roads along the south flank ("Carrizo Basin") of the ridge. There are a number of old workings in the area, but no information is available on these.
Two inclined deep holes at Carrizo were drilled in 2008 (first drilling ever in this area) to test a large altered breccia with associated geochemical and geophysical anomalies in the remote and previously untested portion of the "Carrizo Basin". Both drill holes remained in the altered breccia or crosscutting dikes over their lengths and contained stockworks and disseminated pyrite with subordinate chalcopyrite and chalcocite. Copper mineralization was encountered persistently over wide sections of the 475 metres and 350 metres deep cored holes. The assay results were strongly anomalous in copper and silver over significant intervals, with potential ore grade in more restricted intercepts.
The Carrizo Target requires follow-up ground geophysical investigations and significant more amounts of deep drilling in order to confirm the interpretation and conclusion that this target is related to a very large porphyry-driven IOGC system with an excellent potential tonnage potential.

It's that time of the week again, it's Tuesday, it's 6pm, which can only mean it's the Starting Off Project!
Week 6 = mascara!
Quite possibly one of my favourite items of make up which I always feel a bit naked without, mascara gives your eyes more definition. Worn on either your top or top and bottom lashes one of the main things to look out for with mascara is that it can 'clump' and give you 'spidery lashes' which is when your lashes end up getting stuck together because you've put too much mascara on them. You can avoid this firstly by removing any excess mascara by scraping the brush against the top of the tube, and then gradually building up your mascara in thin layers (normally around 3) by applying it in a zigzag motion by moving your hand from side to side. This will cover the lashes more evenly and also separate them as you go.
There are loads of claims on the market for different mascaras but most are all about volumising or lengthening your eyelashes using a multitude of different shapes and sizes of wands. Expensive products like ModelCo Fibre LashXtend even attach tiny fibres to your lashes as you apply your mascara, and claims to give 'brilliant extension and high definition impact'.
My top tip for thickening lashes without blowing your budget is by using talcum powder. Yup you read that correctly, the humble bathroom staple, talcum powder. Just gently put a layer of talcum powder on your lashes before you apply your mascara and the powder will have the same effect as the ModelCo product for a fraction of the price!
My final piece of advice is an oldie, but a goodie. NEVER pump air into your mascara tube by pushing the wand/brush in and out in order to get more product on it, as it will dry out the mascara which will lead to clumps. Before you initially take the brush out, I recommend twisting it around inside the tube and then removing it. If you need more product then gently repeat this process.
My faves
I have used a number of mascaras over the years both from high street brands and more high end designers, and my current favourites are Scandaleyes from Rimmel, Lancome's vibrating mascara and They're Real by Benefit.
Scandaleyes by Rimmel is a great everyday mascara, especially given it's cheap price. I bought this on offer in Boots with some other Rimmel items so it's always worth checking in Boots or Superdrug if they have any good deals on. The brush on this one is quite thick and gives good coverage, but it can easily clump so be careful how much you apply.
They're Real from Benefit is quickly becoming one of the most rated mascaras currently on the market, and personally I can see why. It's not cheap at around £20, but at the moment if you buy online direct from Benefit here you get a full size mascara and an additional deluxe mini version for the same price. The brush has quite short fibres and the orb shape at the end of it enables you to get right into the corners of your lashes. Again I would recommend around 3 coats for the best coverage, being careful it doesn't clump.
Finally this Oscillation Vibrating Infinite Power Mascara from Lancome is not only the mascara in my collection with the longest name but it's also the most expensive, retailing at around £30. It has a small battery in the lid which makes the brush vibrant as the mascara's applied, and personally I do think this makes a difference to the end result which is virtually clump free with great length. Given the price I only really use this on nights out, so if you're looking for a special occassion product I would recommend this one but for something more for everyday Rimmel or Maybelline have some great mascaras for less than half the price.
So that's it for another week, as always I'd love to read everyone elses posts so feel free to leave your links below.
What are your favourite mascaras? Have you used any of my favourite mascaras, what did you think of them?

Looking at the American Icons Temple cover photo, it is hard to miss the Raytheon name and banner. Raytheon became synonymous in Northern Ireland in 2008 when anti -war activists stormed their headquarters in Derry/Londonderry and proceeded to throw a large number of files out the windows. Raytheon's global impact is large as it develops and tests a large amount of military systems including Radars and missile defense systems. Some of these notable systems include the : MIM-104 Patriot, currently deployed in Turkey due to the threat's from the Syrian civil war, the BGM-109 Tomahawk also became widely recognized in the Shock and Awe campaigns of the Second Gulf War.
Its status as an American symbol is interesting considering that many US based defense firms consider public exposure quite a negative thing, especially when exposed to the world at large, outside of the USA. Raytheon closed its offices in Northern Ireland in February 2010.

This afternoon I finally attacked another blank canvas. It is inspired by the location a friend sees regularly, somewhere in Alaska. Fran, if you read this, will you tell us where? It's off to an okay start, but it has a way to go.
These three images are of the stopping point tonight. My back is killing me, and I can only push it so far. Besides, it's dinner time.

Wow, it's cold this morning. I usually open the window to air things out every morning, but not this morning-- way too cold. I would rather be stinky than cold. The whole point of going to Thailand was to avoid even one more winter in this country and here I am, in this fucking country for one more winter. I can't decide if this country loves or hates me because it's doing everything it can to keep me here, but it's also done everything possible to make it as unpleasant as it can be.
Even in prison, I'm getting screwed over payment for my work. The inmate worker that I did two pictures for, owes me two boxes of coffee, but he's been moved today. He promises to pay me, but that's what everybody says.
It's a shame only because when I get out of here, I'll have 4 to 6 pictures that I won't be able to include with the collection I made, while I was here. I drew a couple of pictures I was going to send to my family for Christmas, but they will take high quality digital photos to send to me so I won't be losing those pictures.
The new inmate worker replacing the one mentioned above happens to be Kevin. He was the person I first met in March of this year when I came here the first time for an incident that occurred on the subway with Guinness. I got that sentence reduced by 20 days and just finished serving that particular sentence last Tuesday on November 6th.

I aim to be a focused, well organised shopper. In this scenario; I make pretty lists with little boxes on the side to check off, I don't have to run twice a day to the supermarket and my fridge isn't a total mess.
As you could've guessed by now, I'm not quite as efficient as I would want to be in the kitchen. I'm glad to tell you I'm seldomly out of wine or butter. Nevertheless, I never seem to have a sufficient amount of plain flour in the pantry.
So last week I didn't have the right kind of cheese at home. That happened.
I threw in some creamy ricotta to make up for it. And it tasted divine.

Post #242
BaleScream were featured in my recent reader's poll for Independent Band of the Year, and although they didn't win, they still caught my ear. In January they completed work on their debut EP, Mark Of The Revenant. It is now available to download, and let me tell you why you should get it...
Mark of the Revenant starts off with the track 'Cyclonic Terror'- an environmentally conscious, brutally heavy piece that paints a realist view of the risks of neglect for the environment. It's a masterpiece of screaming guitar riffs, hardcore rhythms, and enraged vocals. The final chord of this song fades straight into the next, 'Fatality', and BaleScream are off and thrashing again, barely giving the listener a chance to catch their breath! 'Fatality' is a graphic, death-centric, hardcore song of aggression and malice. The riffs grind heavy, and a wicked laugh closes the song.
Again picking up immediately, the next track, 'Becoming the Revenant', is a little slower on the tempo, but is no less brutal and still demonically heavy. Guitar solos are alternately fast and melodic at the song's midpoint. (At this point the listener should check their neck for cramps from the headbanging they've surely been doing)
'Kusanagi' is the closing track on this powerful debut from Australia's best-kept secret in melodic death-metal. This song rivals 'Cyclonic Terror' for my favoring on this EP. The riffs are infused with addictive rhythms, and conjure comparisons to Trivium. As with all the previous songs, 'Kusanagi' provides ample guitar soloing, and maintains the fierce edge of death-metal. A thrilling conclusion to a powerful debut whose only drawback may be that it's over too soon. Suffice to say I'm already looking forward to more music from BaleScream. Following them on facebook wouldn't hurt, and you'll be up-to-date with any news they announce.

For my brother's birthday he wanted steak, so we went to Longhorn Steakhouse. I'm not much for steak, but this restaurant is grilling up some really tender, delicious cuts of meat.
Wild West Shrimp: Battered shrimp served with spicy cherry peppers and garlic butter. The cherry peppers were a perfect sidekick to the battered shrimp.
Renegade 8 oz Sirloin with steakhouse mac and cheese: corkscrew pasta with four cheeses and bacon. I ordered the sirloin medium and it came out more on the medium side which was perfect. It was slightly pink, but still juicy and succulent. This steak was wayyy better than the cuts @ Texas De Brazil. The mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, salty, and a grand slam as well.
If you're looking for a good steak, Longhorn Steakhouse is the place to go. Take it from me, a girl who isn't much of a red meat eater. Every bite melted in my mouth and I'm proud to say I finished every last bit. It is a little pricey, but well worth the tender, tasty steak.

The First Day
My husband has always contemplated whether he would ride his bike to work. Nothing has ever materialized as he would take Morgan on a bike ride when he got home from work on some days. But as the need to exercise is calling him and his time after work is getting filled up quickly, he decided to bike (or should I say cycle) to work today and hopefully everyday. The distance isn't a problem as his work is only 2.5 miles from our house.
The obstacle for him is not working to much of a sweat as he has to go to meetings and be dressed in business casual. Another minor obstacle is finding a secure place to lock up his bike.
I'm excited as this will kill two birds with one stone- him exercising and the bonus of less gas used (although this wasn't to much of a factor).
So, please give cyclist lots of room if you seem them on the road as that could be Andy and no honking :)

I can't honk if it's Andy? How will I get his attention so I can wave at him? :)

I'm jealous . . . I wish I lived close enough to work to ride a bike . . .
What a great way to save money and get exerice at the same time!

as long as he isn't riding up and down geiger grade, we won't run him over. we are not fans of the cyclists that go up and down our mountain road... they are a serious hazard. but i don't see many of them wearing business casual... so i think he's safe.

Hey, so next week for our gathering, will thursday work okay for you?

Laura- no geiger grade runs for him. Although that would be a great workout. There isn't much of a shoulder on that windy twisty road.

I'm jealous. I want to ride to work. I love riding. Too far though. I just think it's cool to do that. Andy's still a rider in my eyes. Especially since he was one of the guys who got me into it. Well, he showed me a lot at least.

i think andy is pretty awesome. will he be wearing spandex and packing his wrinkle-free dockers in a bag? if so, i will honk when i see him. if not, i will honk when i see him.

Thanks buddies =)
I get enough crap at work and the last thing I need to do is walk through the office in spandex. Plus changing in a toilet stall is creepy.

I think you should go to work in spandex. Tell them it's doctor prescribed. Maybe your dad could write you one.

Tournament Report – All American Flounder Tournament
Scaling a 6.18 lb. flounder to ease into the top spot on the leaderboard, N. Myrtle Beach local Alan Browning earned first place in the 2017 All American Flounder Tournament, held Saturday, May 20, out of Wildlife Bait and Tackle in Oak Island.
He was fishing with his friends Darien and Derek Crumbley. The winning fish was caught on a live croaker in Hog's Inlet near Cherry Grove, and the big fish bit around 11:45 on an incoming tide.
"We caught nine keepers that day," said Darien of the team's winning day of fishing.
When the 6+ lb. flounder hit late in the morning, added Darien, the winning fish immediately "felt like a good one."
The trio caught bait the morning of the tournament, and they fished that day using double hook rigs with croakers on the bottom and mud minnows on top. The fishing was slow during the early morning hours, with only one fish in the boat before the tide changed. Around 10:00 am, the action started to heat up, and then a little while later the 6+ lb. flatfish hit the net.
The team kept drift fishing on their 18' Duracraft for 45 minutes after the big fish was caught. Darien said his brother had caught a 7.29 lb. flounder four days before the tournament in the same spot. The team then headed back to Oak Island for weigh-in at 12:30.
With 41 boats fishing the tournament and 72 flounder caught, Tournament Director Jimmy Price said that this was one of the best turnouts for the All American Flounder Tournament. The total weight of all 72 flounder was 202.16 lbs., with an average flounder weight of 2.62 lbs. A total of 27 boats weighed fish, and the tournament paid out a total of 15 places.
Wilmington, NC's Troy Philips was hot on the N. Myrtle crew's heels, weighing in a 5.98 lb. flounder to take second place. Chris Thomas, of Southport, rounded out the top three with a 5.64 lb. fish.

Although the term black gold may cause many to think of oil or perhaps The Ballad of Jed Clampett, in gardening it means only one thing, compost. As I removed the cover of my compost container today to add more organic material to the mix, I saw something I had never seen before. White wisps resembling steam rising from the surface of the contents within. It was an indication that the composting process was proceeding as it should and that the past few days of record setting warmth that we have experienced were coming to an end. For only in cooler temperatures could I see this phenomena. And only when the surface of the composting materials had not yet been frozen over by temps below the freezing point of water. All is well. Spring is only about four weeks away, at least as far as the calender is concerned. That's plenty of time to produce more black gold for the garden.

The men's and women's basketball teams at Xavier share more in common than uniforms adorned with a blue 'X' and a home court at Cintas Center.
They both are led by top transfers - Drew Lavender and Joei Clyburn.
They both have a strong core of seniors - Justin Doellman, Justin Cage, Brandon Cole for the men, and Michelle Miller, Suntana Granderson, Miranda Green, DeAnna Mason for the women.
They both have young head coaches - Sean Miller and Kevin McGuff - who were top assistants at Xavier and elsewhere.
In just a few days, they'll share something else - an NCAA Tournament berth.
Xavier's women got it done Monday night with a 65-59 victory over St. Joseph's in the Atlantic 10 Tournament championship game at Cintas Center.
With XU beat reporter Dustin Dow swamped as he prepares for coverage of the men's A-10 Tournament which begins Wednesday in Atlantic City, I was pleased to fill in on covering the women's A-10 tourney semis and finals.

When delicious baked goods become lethal, it's time to find a killer.
Kindness is a virtue Meanness is a sin Better watch your bakery pies For poison I've slipped in
The Amish Artisan Village in Middlebury, Indiana, has been decorated with every color of balloon and flower for the Race for a Cure. As manager of the Village, Amber Bowman is thrilled to see the turnout-and relieved to have something to distract her from the "Poison Poet"-an individual who has been sending notes containing bad poetry to warn of poisoned baked goods.
Then Ryan Duvall crosses the finish line of the race-and falls down dead, murdered in broad daylight. But who did it? And why? The police suspect Preston Johnston, but Amber refuses to believe her employee could do such a thing.
Amber once again looks to her young Amish friend Hannah Troyer to help her find the killer-and to determine if it's the same person leaving the cryptic poems and pies. Can they help the police before the Poison Poet strikes again? Both Amber and Hannah will need to draw on their faith as they fight to preserve the peaceful community they've built at the Amish Artisan Village.
My Review: This is the third installment in Vannetta Chapman's Amish Village Mystery series. What I love about this series is that it is such a unique combination. A perfect blend of Amish fiction and cozy mystery.
The main characters again unwittingly find themselves in the role of amateur sleuths, as another murder has taken place in the peaceful village. I enjoyed the style in which this book was written. It started at the end of the story, and then took us back to the beginning to watch it unfold. I cringed at the thought of poison in any delicious pie, but I loved the creativity behind the story idea! In this third novel, I really felt like the characters have flourished and become more engaging and endearing. I am definitely enjoying watching as their stories unfold and their lives continue to intertwine. I love the close bond that has developed between the group of main characters. Collectively, they make for an unlikely pairing, but they have become a tight knit group. The fact that they have created their own little family amongst themselves is heartwarming and dear. They are a great reminder that family isn't always blood, it's those who love you no matter what and accept you for who you are.
The mystery aspect of the story kept me interested and guessing. I had my suspicions as to "who-dun-it", but I still enjoyed reading the outcome as it was revealed. I loved that this book highlighted some very real life issues, and generated awareness of them. I also love the inclusion of a new canine character! I hope Mocha stays at the forefront of future novels in this series.
I had a few moments where my interest waivered, mainly involving the flashback scenes, but I understand what the author was attempting to achieve with them, so it may have been my fault for being less absorbed in those parts.
All in all, a solid continuation of a very enjoyable series.
* I received a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for my honest review by BookLook Bloggers.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1079639
tnftp bundles libedit
Last modified: 2014-06-25 14:53:35 EDT
tnftp uses a bundled copy of libedit, it should be fixed to use the system one.
$ repoquery --repoid=rawhide-debuginfo -l tnftp-debuginfo | grep libedit
Fixed. Due to the structure of the tnftp source tree, it's best to leave the libedit subdirectory in there because it contains headers from NetBSD that help drive the compilation of tnftp. But I've patched src/Makefile.in to use the system libedit.

Today officially ends my family's Christmas season that started before Thanksgiving. Our last Christmas party is today. Just like the one before Thanksgiving, we rented out a hall to fit everyone since the houses just seem to be too small. We have a special gift exchange that's kind of like a Secret Santa, but everyone knows who you have and who has you. My grandparents aren't going to be there since they escaped to warmer weather last month. All of these holiday parties are starting to get to me. See, I'm not the most social person. I'm happiest with my nose in a book or a pen in my hand. Most parties send me into a corner with my writing, usually only getting company from the animals of the house. (I seem to be a pet magnet at times. They always end up around me.) I don't like being that way. I just never know what to say to people so I end up avoiding all conversation.
On another note, it looks like my first draft isn't going to be done by my self-imposed deadline. I did everything I could to get through it, but I'm not even halfway through transferring the outline into book form. (That's another thing I do. I write outlines for the books before I write them out. The outline then changes while I write the book.) This is really upsetting to me. I worked so hard to get this done, but every time I sat down and started to write in my little zone, I'd get interrupted, usually something to do with a Christmas party. With the holiday season finally over, I might be able to get some peace and get my writing done.
The one good thing about this is that I'm liking this second book more than the first one. There's something about it that makes me excited to write it and then share it with my readers. I think this one will be even better than the first one. My dad says that's expected. Practice makes perfect and all that. It probably has more to do with the planning. I did more planning for this one than the first one. Unnatural Alliances was written with my mind both on it and school. This one has my full attention.
I think that's it for this week. So, until next Saturday, have a great week, Happy New Year and Go Spartans! I can't wait for the Rose Bowl!

General Milan Rastislav Štefánik
Milan Rastislav Štefánik (born July 21, 1880, Košariská (Kosaras), Austria-Hungary [now in Slovakia]—died May 4, 1919, near Bratislava, Czechoslovakia [now in Slovakia]) was a Slovak politician, diplomat, astronomer and general who, with Tomáš Masaryk and Edvard Beneš, helped found the new nation of Czechoslovakia in 1918–1919.
After study at the University of Prague, from which he received a doctorate of philosophy in 1904, Štefánik went to Paris. Joining the staff of the astronomical observatory at Meudon, he served on scientific expeditions to Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. Becoming a naturalized French citizen, he joined the army after the outbreak of World War I and eventually was drawn to the Czechoslovak liberation movement. Encouraged by the French government, he was sent on military and political missions to the United States, Russia, Italy, and other Allied powers. In 1918 he became minister of war in the provisional Czechoslovak government. As one of the leading members of the Czechoslovak National Council (i.e. resistance government), he contributed decisively to the cause of Czechoslovak sovereignty. (The status of Czech- and Slovak-populated territories, among others, was in question until shortly before the disintegration of Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918.).
Štefánik wanted to return home to see his family. He decided to fly from Campoformido by Udine in Italy and to use an Italian military plane, a Caproni Ca.3. On May 4, 1919 around 11am, his plane tried to land near Bratislava (which was a military conflict area between the First Republic of Czechoslovakia and the Hungarian Soviet Republic at that time), but crashed near Ivanka pri Dunaji. Štefánik died along with two Italian officers.
Štefánik's personal motto was: To Believe, To Love and To Work (Veriť, milovať, pracovať).
Štefánik's tomb was built in 1927-1928 on the Bradlo hill in Brezová pod Bradlom. The monumental yet austere memorial was designed by Dušan Jurkovič.


text: The local newspaper on Saturday featured a front page picture of NSW, Australia. Dry, cracked ground, a handful of dust, and a ute in the background. The article below is titled "It is mankind's fault." The picture was a sad reminder of people's struggles back home, so easy to forget as we look out on the snow covered paths and gardens outside.

This blog is filled with important information, some of it feels pretty doom and gloom about the state of the Frasier River system. I wanted to retain the good feelings of a great sockeye season but also wanted to address this question that many of you have been wondering:
If the Frasier River is not doing well, then how do you explain this sockeye run?
So, Are Frasier River Salmon In Trouble? or what?
|Sockeye Face (photo from Alexandra Morton's webpage)
The 2010 Fraser Sockeye return is a phenomena. The fishermen have not seen it this good for 50 years. They keep thinking the last sockeye has entered Johnstone Strait, but the fish just keep pouring in from the Pacific at both ends of Vancouver Island. I go and float with them every morning in Queen Charlotte Strait and watch them finning all around me, rolling at the surface like porpoises, always pointing south, never stopping. Hundreds of miles away newspapers in Fraser River towns are reporting an economic boon from all the people pouring in to the fish. (read the rest of this article)

Is it worth it to replace the engine on a Subaru Legacy 2007 GT
Last year I paid for a new turbo. It broke again, this time, the dealer will replace
it since its under coverage. However, they are saying I need a new engine if it
isn't a short. Is it worth trying to see if its a short? They want to charge $1,000
to see if it is a short, if not a new engine is $9,000. The car has 170,000 miles.

Something sound funny here, a short or a new engine? I'd say get a second opinion.
Get a second opinion, then have it crushed. If you replace the engine you will have a 10 year old car with a boat load of miles on it with a new engine. No telling what next will require repair or rust.
And here we go...
Probably.......I am not allowed on Subaru forums, you know.
I already put in a lot of money into this Subaru, New front axle, turbo, new tires, battery, new coils and Subaru only said possible new engine, they won't know until they remove it but want to charge $1,000 to see if it needs a new engine or just the short. The only thing that isn't new is the belt, lol! Thanks for the answers, I really appreciate it.
I am thinking "short" is meaning short block (less cylinder heads).
Yes, Bob. That is correct. If it is the short block, the cost to fix is $5,200 as per Subaru quote that I am trying to get in writing instead of the verbal from Service Dept.
Sounds like they want to remove the engine and pull the cylinder heads to see if they are good before condemning the entire engine. What part of the country is this vehicle located?
New Jersey
How did you pull that off Bob, boy if only Markw1952 could see this....
OMG, Mark would loose his mind, LOL
New Jersey is a high road salt use state. I would take a very close look at the underneath of the vehicle before deciding to spend lots of money on it as there could be rust problems lurking.
those costs are crazy high. I know your at a dealer, but see if you can find an independent Subaru shop in your area, I'm sure there are. Those prices might be cut in half. Where in NJ?
Tom, the problem is Subaru is replacing the bad turbo they installed in March, but they won't do it until they know the engine isn't damaged. In order to do that, I have to shell out a G-note just to check short block. I purchased a new car already, I was going to give this car to my newly licensed teen for local trips due to the high mileage.
If Subaru determines the bad turbo damaged the engine then they may contribute to the repair bill. Of course the turbo seals may be out causing it to use oil and that wouldn't necessarily cause an engine issue other than carbon buildup and possible damage to the catalytic converter.
Great responses y'all. Bob, regarding the oil seals in the turbo.. how long would it take for the oil to run low and mess up the bearings? Quite a while right? And with some light reading, I've found that if the turbo fails bad enough and starts shredding the casting/other parts into the oil flow, then the oil sends the shrapnel through the system and starts to ruin the bearings. Rockauto has turbos for 570-630 (http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,2007,legacy,2.5l+h4+tur bocharged,1433582,engine,turbocharger,5764) and I would consider asking them if you give them $1k that they MUST replace your turbo, no matter what they find. Another idea is to ask them to inspect the turbo for missing material instead of removing the engine. And according to the blue "712G" (click that for interchange) here: (http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,2007,legacy,2.5l+h4+tur bocharged,1433582,engine,long+block,5240) you have a variety of cars and years to choose a LONG block from.. not just a short block. How far along did you run the car until taking it to fix the turbo? If you do an oil change, inspect the oil for metal shavings. Might be an indicator of the turbo issue. Keep responding Nelsch :)
The turbo was replaced in March 2016, It is covered for one year unlimited miles. They agreed to replace with a new one, the grand is to remove the engine to check for metal shaving and to check the short block. I spoke to the mechanic yesterday. I also called Subaru of America. They have a case open now to see if the Turbo was the cause of all this nonsense and will get back to me by Friday. If so, Subaru has to re-consider trying to charge me for a new engine or breakdown the engine to make sure there is no damage to the engine. However, the mechanic said it is very possible that there might be metal in the engine based on finding metal in the oil pan after they removed it.
Walth, certainly depends on what when wrong in the turbo. As you know turbo seals can leak slowly or very quickly. Certainly a bearing failure or turbo compressor wheel failure can send shards of metal throughout the intake side depending on which part failed in the turbo. A severe seal loss would result in rapid oil loss and possible bearing failure and metal in the oil. Compressor wheel failure often requires the intercooler to be replaced or cleaned out. Nelsch, keep us posted as this information may help someone else.
great info Bob. I think you're on the right track Nelsch.

I returned to Sendai and had a very nice run through trails of Mizunomori Park this morning. It is about 5 km north of the Shinkansen Station and the whole trail (the total distance of east and west courses) is a bit more than 3 km.
The map of the trail at the southern entrance of the park.
At the entrance.
A typical of the trail on the east course.
An electric power line relay tower.
A warning for a cliff.
A nice lake - but is barricaded, so cannot get to the water.
There is a nice picnic and camp ground.
The western trail after the camp ground.
Where up/downs are severe, they had steps.
A view of Sendai suburb from a bridge right south of the park - the park is really close from the city.

For years dating services have been using various ploys to separate lonely singles from their cash in return for empty promises, but now dating services have stumbled on a whole new ploy – science!
ScientificMatch.com promises its users to find their perfect match by using the GenePartner Test that compares their DNA with other members on the pseudoscientific belief that people are attracted to those who had different HLA (immune system) genes to their own. All this for the very low price of $1,995.95!
Their website states that " ScientificMatch uses your DNA to maximize the chances of finding chemistry—actual, physical chemistry—with your matches." Under their section About Chemistry and our DNA Matching they claim:
When you share chemistry with someone, you significantly increase your chances of realizing these amazing benefits:
1. You'll love their natural body fragrance–they'll smell "sexier" than other people.
2. You'll have a more satisfying sex life.
3. If you're a woman, you'll have a higher rate of orgasms.
4. There will be less cheating in your exclusive relationship.
5. As a couple, you'll be more fertile.
6. Your children will be healthier.
Unlike other pseudoscientific companies, these guys actually provide their sources. If there's anyone in scientific research reading this article, if you are able to tell me just how reputable these journals are I would appreciate it.
However, Eric Holze, the founder of ScientificMatch.com can't cite even one happily matched couple claiming "his site tends to attract people who are concerned about privacy and has not done a good job tracking members once they leave." Anyone else smell a scam here?? However, to give Holze the benefit of the doubt he say that he is going to dissolve the dating section of his site and refund the $1,995.95 lifetime membership fee. Whether he does or not remains to be seen.
There are other dating sites eager to take up the GenePartner Test including the soon to be launched sense2love.com. Unfortunately, there is no information available on just what services they will be offering or for what price.
The single and desperate are very easy pickings for those that want to make a quick buck from their misery. It should come as no surprise that as the general public's awareness and knowledge of DNA increases that the dating scams are moving into this area to cash in. Love can't be found in a test tube, it is found by connecting with our fellow human beings. There is no quick or easy way to find love and that, for some, is half the fun.

Here are the 5 Things that brought me some joy this week. As I said in last week's post, this new series of mine is inspired by Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere. (And if you haven't ever checked out her blog you totally should).
It's Canada Day today! We are indeed a mighty nation and we are 149 this year! We are the nation that brought you insulin, hockey, basketball, the zipper, MacIntosh apples, poutine, standard time, egg cartons, sonar, gas masks, the paint roller, and the electric wheelchair – just to name a few things. Today the day started out perfect for me because I woke up to the sound of rain, and then it continued to rain for a good chunk of the day and we even had a thunderstorm (Best. Thing. Ever.).
This past Sunday was mine and Doug's 6 month anniversary. I cannot believe how quickly time has gone by, nor have I ever been happier. He's definitely a keeper 🙂
I discovered this week that Jack Kerouac, author made famous by his book On The Road, is actually a Canadian. I was mind boggled. Maclean's wrote a fantastic article about him and his being Canadian (which is how I found out) and you can read it here. I'm definitely going to be moving On The Road up my to-read list.
I bought this beautiful tree of life sterling silver necklace last weekend in Brighton from The Blue House. It's a gorgeous store and if you're ever in the area you should definitely drop in.
This photo I saw on Instagram this week from ourplanetdaily, and it's taken in Taichung, Taiwan. I fell in love with this picture. The stairs seem to want to lead you on some kind of magical adventure don't you think?

A quick note about the lead question in The Ethicist today. (For those who are not avid followers, the ethicist is Ariel Kaminer. While I'm not sure what her qualifications are, she accepts ethical questions posed by NYT Magazine readers. In general I find the questions and her answers interesting and she's a great deal better than the guy who originated the column and was opinionated without being thoughtful (in my opinion, of course.))
The question is posed by a woman who was an egg provider 15 years ago. She regrets this and has no interest in learning the outcome of the transaction. But now she's getting married and thinking of having kids and she asks whether she should tell her fiance.
I think the answer given is quite thoughtful. The important thing to Kaminer is that the matter is important to the woman asking the question. If it's this important to her, then it is something her fiance should know. This makes total sense to me–it is and quite likely will be on the asker's mind as she begins her family. Not telling would (in my view–and remember I'm a big fan of honesty) complicate things as it seems likely to me that the husband would know there was something going on but wouldn't know what.
Notice that this answer tangentially addresses another question. What if the provision of eggs didn't loom large in the asker's life? What if it was something from a long time ago that she rarely thought about. And let's face it. we all did things when we were twenty that we have left behind in our past. If that's the case, do you need to dig it out to disclose?
I think it's pretty clear that the answer the ethicist would give is "no" and I concur. (I'm fairly sure others disagree which is why I bring it up here.) For me the issue here is about the relationship between the prospective spouses. That means the question becomes one of telling your partner/spouse about the important things that matter in your life. Whether being an egg provider is one of them is something only the person involved can decide.
I suppose what this reveals (again–there's no news here) is that for me the importance of genetic linkage is personal and individual rather than universal. Where I think others assert that it is always (or at least nearly always) important, because it relates to something essential about who we are, I think the meaning of DNA varies much more widely. I thought it might be worth exploring this briefly via this post because I think this might be a slightly different way of stating what is a recurrent and fundamental disagreement here about how to understand the importance of the genetic link.

This guy is a huge Emilio Bonifacio fan.
The new-look Nats remained perfect in August after pummeling the Rockies 9-4 behind Bonifacio's three hits. The win moved Washington to within 19.5 games of Milwaukee for the NL wild card spot with an absolutely crucial four-game series against the Brew Crew looming next weekend. Go nuts, Nats fans. This could qualify as the high point of the season.

From the September 1948 magazine.
You Don't Have to Be a Hermit
WHEN I came into A.A. about four years ago I fully believed that I was committing myself to a hermitage in which I would be cut off from all normal activities and those of my old friends who did any drinking.
Since then I have discovered that many others had the same fear when they joined A.A., so it's a reasonable assumption that newcomers today are steeling themselves to the same prospects.-- D.Y.

I spotted a treasure in my mother's hard rubbish pile. It had three broken wheels, dirt, spider-webs and was rusted all over. I do regret not taking a photograph before just to show how bad it really looked. It was so bad that I wasn't even sure that it was fixable. I suspected I was making a mistake and actually left it on the rubbish pile for a week until I changed my mind and went back for it.
The trolley had belonged to my grandmother and had spent years and years (decades I believe) outside in the rain and heat in my mother's garden. It had suffered but the design was just so beautiful I really felt it was worth saving.
My darling husband fixed it up for me and it looks amazing. He pulled off all the wheels, scrubbed it all over with a metal brush, wore out the brush completely, and scrubbed it all over again with a metal sanding disk on his circular saw. He said it was much easier the second time. Then he spray painted two coats of white rust-proof primer. We finished with a couple of coats of metal gloss spray paint and it's ready to rock!
I have plans for a tray on the bottom for my son's outside cars and trains and some pretty pot plants on the top. We're in the process of building a pergola outside the laundry and this is where it will live when it's finished. It will be undercover so it will hopefully last for many years to come.
PS I'm going op (thrift) shopping tomorrow to a store that's new to me that I've been told has lots of deceased estate vintage stock. Cross your fingers for me!
