If you are reading this blog from behind a computer screen in the UK then you may well be familiar with the new Channel 4 show 'How Not to Get Old'. If you reside anywhere else in the world, let me reassure you that this programme is not about enlightening viewers with the secret of eternal youth. No, it's about hacking, injecting, filling, puffing, scrubbing, nipping and tucking your way to society's current standard for perfection.
Presenter Anna Richardson, once an intelligent promoter of positive self image, seems to have reinvented herself as much through her surgically rejuvenated skin as her hypocrisy. This is a woman who once presented a programme which showed teenagers gigantic photos of real naked bodies (saggy boobs, dangly scrotums and stretch marks a go-go in the Sex Education Show) to redress the inaccuracies presented by the pneumatic, hair free, lithe porn bodies young people are being told to expect as the norm. Anna was once an average sized woman. Anna was once telling her viewers to be confident and get real about what the body beautiful actually looks like. Fabulous! About time! What a great role model for teenagers everywhere! Almost…
Fast forward a few years and she has gone from champion of real reflections, to just another a hawker of beauty myths. You see, presenting How Not to Get Old is a pretty good break for Anna who these days admits to being a fan of 'non-invasive' procedures. She has her own website for her 'Body Blitz' regime, on which she tells us that she's just 'an ordinary girl who's struggled with my weight since I was a little girl' and… has lost two stone, has a diet book to sell and looks super hot in a tight dress now she's all skinny. Good for her of course. She feels great, looks great, and is healthier – hoorah! It's just that I feel a bit cheated you see. Not for myself you understand. No, no. For the millions of women out there who have recently looked in the mirror and pulled at the skin on their temples, smoothed their foreheads or pouted their lips, just to see what they might look like if they could wind back the years. Why did you do it? I did it because I started to believe that maybe I should look a little fresher, that maybe I really did need a spookily smooth forehead that, no matter what they tell you, is only possible after Botox. Nobody over the age of 30 is line free by nature's hand alone. You can only have the skin of a 20 year old if you are in fact a 20 year old. It's really that simple. You can minimise damage with a good skin care routine. You can hold back some of the years with SPF 50 and a good diet. You might even avoid crows feet by working as a freelancer and staying indoors and alone for six years (seriously, I'm convinced that is how I did it!). But you cannot stop time. No really, you can't. Even if you pull and pluck yourself to perfection on the outside, you are simply wallpapering the cracks as you are undoubtedly still ageing on the inside. That's not just me ranting with bitterness, nope, that's biology.
I'm all for looking good, making the best of what you have and throwing on a dress and heels if the mood takes you. I like make-up, pretty hair and all that jazz. What I don't like is being led to believe that age is bad, wrinkles are a curse to all who have to endure looking at you, and that pretending you look fabulously young just because you are gifted and more special than everyone else is normal. It's not. It's a lie. Have surgery, have fillers, have implants, and lifts and lasers for all I care, but don't pretend you are a superior being and that all those who do not look 10 years younger than they are must be failing and inferior. When somebody says 'you look great', take the compliment but admit that it has taken you £3,000, 16 hours, a pint of blood and three weeks of bed rest to achieve it.
I worry about the impact of these programmes on my sons and my daughters. I don't want them to channel all of their energies into a pampered exterior. I want them to work on their minds, their self esteem, their talents and their dreams. If they want to poof and preen a bit when they're done, great, go have fun safe in the knowledge that when the lips are too crinkled, the eyes too baggy and the bellies too stretched they will still have so much to offer. I fear that all we'll have left when our young men and women become (chronologically) old is a bunch of shallow clones with the uncomfortably taught skin trademark of our time.
So if I could pick up where Anna Richardson left off a few years before the diet and detox kicked in, here a just some of the things I want my children to know about their bodies and appearance…
There is no such thing as perfect. No really, there isn't.
Yes it is normal to have hair there. Yep and there… even if your friend doesn't.
One boob or testicle that is a different size to the other is also normal. It might correct itself, it might not.
Stretch marks will find you in good time. You wait and see.
Boys – the average size is around 6 inches, not 10+ inches so don't worry.
Girls – less is more, so leave a little to the imagination.
Only you have the right to decide who you share your body with.
These days any naked or semi naked photo/video you take or allow to be taken WILL reappear on the internet and your friends, family, future kids and future employers will most likely see it at some point.
That boy or girl who says you have a fat ass, gross cellulite or crooked nose… obsesses every night about their own flaws and raises yours to make themselves feel better.
The more perfect somebody tries to make you believe they are, the more insecure they actually are about themselves.
Age is a privilege (your Nan never got past her mid 30s and your Grandad past his late 40s, so love every line).
Try to achieve more laughter lines than frown lines and you won't go far wrong.
Look at us, your Mom and Dad. See all those lines and grey hairs? You and your siblings helped make many of them. You are as integral a part of who we are as our own fingerprints.

Degas in Basel
What a wonderful surprise!
Foundation Beyeler Basel was having a special
show of later works of Degas. This show combined
works from private collections the first time on display for many
years. Also had a great DVD on his later expermints with
monotype. He would print his first image, then would
do the shadow which he added pastels.
Today we start our barge trip down the Rhine. I hope to
have time to paint. I'm just so excited about my
journey into impressionism!

Last Night in Lenno
Very sad to leave ...... Class was such a learning experience, I can't explain what a mark this has made on my painting, but I have just begun my journey to impressionism. Jerry is a true teacher of "the mechanics " of painting. It's all about the process

The White-winged Choughs that frequent our front yard have become very relaxed with us over recent months, allowing us to walk quite closely to them without sounding the alarm and heading off. Their sangfroid reached new heights on Sunday as they drank from and cooled themselves at one of our bird baths, content from my to approach to within two metres and get some up-close photos of their cheek-by-jowel water cooler chats. I felt for them, with their mouths agape trying to cool down.

Haasya means fun in the mother of all Indian languages - Sanksrit. (http://www.alphadictionary.com/directory/Languages/Indo,045Iranian/Sanskrit/)
I am planning to give you fun information periodically sprinkled along with my own thoughts as well.
Since I am a busy person, I am letting my father do the typing as I dictate to him.
Let me begin:
1. How many seconds you can waste in a year - Upto a total of 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 seconds = 31,556, 926 seconds - Can you spare a few to do something useful to you and the society?
2. Future home for Neil Armstrong???? - Astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man on moon left his space boots on the moon. Did he believe that he is going to come back there one day?
3. Do you throw up before you eat or after you eat? Sea Star (Starfish) has to vomit all of the content in its stomach before eating again.
4. Do big cats only eat apples? - Apple's Macintosh Computers have operating systems named after big cats - the latest Mac OS X 10.5 is called the 'leopard' The previous ones have been named Cheetah/Puma, Jaguar, Panther and Tiger!!
5. Are you allergic to vegetables and only eat meat? - It turns out you are not made to be a meat eater. Your teeth are not made for that!

Suspected US Missile Attack in Pakistan
The BBC is reporting that a suspected US Missile attack has killed 27 militants in a Pakistan border town in the North West. The US is suspected to have carried out around 20 Drone missile attacks in the previous few months.
On this attack, the Drone fired two missiles at the target. The missiles hit a home in the the South Waziristan area. Officials have stated that this house was used as a hide out for Taliban forces.
According to the BBC, witnesses in the area say the rockets were fired from a drone and say the house was frequented by militants from Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud's organisation.
Earlier this week President Obama said that he had no doubt that militants were operating in safe havens in Pakistan's tribal belt. He also said that the US would make sure Pakistan was a strong ally in fighting that threat. Pakistani leaders had expressed hope that the new US administration of Barack Obama would halt the controversial manoeuvres.

If you know me, you would know that I have been a Doughnut Runner for some time. Running for doughnuts all started as a reward for getting our weekend runs in. From Friday Harbor the distance to Roche Harbor, where our doughnuts are baked fresh, is a tad over 11 miles. Bingo, made a good mid-distance run motivation. Over the years we have added miles, encouraged people to come run with us and have run for doughnuts in rain, sunshine and snow fall.
For the next few months, Paul Hopkins and myself, will be hosting a Sunday morning Doughnut Run, from San Juan Fitness to Roche Harbor. See the details below and schedule some time for a run.
Doughnut Run Details
What: 11.2 mile run from San Juan Island Fitness to Roche Harbor Resort. Open to all levels of runners.
When: Every Sunday morning, starting August 5 at 8:00 a.m. from San Juan Island Fitness
Why: For the love of donuts. And these aren't just any donuts, these are Roche Harbor doughnuts!
Entry fee: Free.

This is going back to the house. This barn is a the bottom of the biggest hill after Mt. Cove Farm. I have always loved this barn. I've never seen any animals near it though.
Some more barns along the way.
This is on the Cross Farm. Used to be a dairy farm. The little dairy barn is in front of the red barn. I like this cattle crossing sign.
This is the old house where Water For Elephants was filmed. Such a beautiful old house.
Can you see the cow with the huge horns laying down near the trees? Either Zeeboo or Watusi. There is another cow but different, past my house. So one is a Watusi and the other a Zeeboo. Both beautiful animals. I just can't see how they walk around with those huge horns. Looks like they'd be so heavy.
This is the Cedar Grove Methodist church. It's really old.
I just love this sign!
Farmers do have a sense of humor!
This is our new community center. It's supposed to be done by Christmas. They have a lot to do if that's right.
This is the old house next to us. It's for sale. 26 acres for just $139,500.00. Really cheap. Considering land out here goes for over &10,000 an acre. This is just a little over $5,000. an acre. With a creek and woods and pasture. Wish we could get it. The house will probably have to be torn down, which breaks my heart. I love this house. It's actually my dream house. It's been here over a hundred years. They built houses to last back then. It's just been abandoned for over 50 years or so. So really not much hope for it. My friend who comes to milk for me when I need to get away, is trying to buy it along with her brother. I so hope they can get it. I want good neighbors and they would be really good to have here.
And this reminds me of the Bible verse that talks about God owning the cattle on a thousand hills. I think of it every time I see cows on hills. So pretty. It also reminds me of how big God really is. And how amazing.
So that's the tour of my bike trip. I sure need to go back every day.

Thank you. If I lived close to you I would ask to ride bikes with you every day!! I will have to be content with a vicarious adventure. Hasn't the weather been just perfect? Finally getting most of the fall garden in down here. The eggplants and butterbeans finally gave out. Only a few pepper plants still producing from the summer garden.

Tor Browser 2018 Download
Tor Browser download Tor Browser 2018 Download
Tor Browser 2018 Download – Tor Browser 2018 for Windows has actually been developed in order to help you protect your privacy online. Tor Browser is a tool established that could help you anonymize internet browsing as well as publishing, instant messaging, as well as various other applications that use the TCP procedure. This could be useful for exclusive use as well as organisation use.It means that private info can be avoided prying eyes. ISPs, essential loggers and also various other sorts of malware are unable to track your activities conveniently.
Tor Browser 2018 download for Windows functions by jumping web traffic around a dispersed network of web servers which it calls "onion routers". The interface permits you to toggle it on and also off accordinged to when you need anonymity online. Tor Browser for Windows additionally lets you pick from various proxy passages based on a world map that presents specifically where every one lies.
In general, Tor Browser download for Windows is a straightforward, well arranged and also effective device for individuals that are concerned regarding safety or invasions of privacy whilst they are on the internet. The browser user interface is a standard, easy to use event and also the application is reasonably lightweight.
Tor Browser 2018 Review
Tor Browser 2018 Download – Surfing the internet firmly via VPN or HTTP web proxy could work for some security-conscious people. Yet the thought of either, 1) having to deal with a barrage of ads or 2) spending for accessibility to a premium account, are not the only 2 alternatives one need to be restricted to. If you're adventurous and do not mind piggybacking off of a community run mesh network, there is yet one more alternative service to protect and anonymous browsing.
Tor Browser free
The Tor Browser Package by the Tor Project is created to give internet surfers the capacity to access the Tor network, all the while preventing the rather complex setup choices that could include establishing such protection to begin with. Instead than downloading and install the Tor client as well as manually using your settings, you can merely download this all-in-one incorporated Tor internet browser, based upon Firefox, as well as extract the software to any kind of area you desire, such as your computer desktop or USB drive.
Once downloaded and install, run the browser executable and also watch as the Tor link supervisor springtimes to life, instantly looking for an offered Tor node, developing a handshake and afterwards introducing the browser, all within a few minutes.
Due to the mobile application version offered by the Tor Task, you could take the browser anywhere on mobile storage as well as run the program at public Internet terminals (like those discovered in town libraries) and also not have to worry concerning administrator opportunities. The Tor browser will certainly execute as an individual process, allow you to surf, then leave out easily without leaving a trace.
Of training course, the Tor network that this work on is not without its issues. Due to the ad-hoc nature of Tor nodes, which could send information from one indicate the following until it finally gets to a leave node, page loading speeds leave a bit to be preferred, as a result of enhanced latencies. Additionally, a minimum of during my examinations, data downloads beyond a couple of megabytes in size merely are also excruciating to withstand and also were unworthy considering.
Certain, ads don't bother you and also you don't have to pay a penny to utilize the Tor network, however you do wind up paying quite a lot in the optimum speed department, which is to say the maximum rate is pretty sluggish, relying on your geographical location.
Tor Browser 2018 Download – Regardless of the lowball speeds regularly given by the network, I still wholeheartedly advise maintaining a copy of the Tor Browser Bundle about, simply in situation you need that extra layer of security, whether in the house or on the go. Along with a Windows version, the Tor Task also has beta variations for OS X and also Linux readily available as well.

Things that make me happy this June:
-I actually took a bubble bath in the middle of the day yesterday, just because I could!
-It poured down rain yesterday with the sun shining. Summer is wonderful!
-Studying for this set of boards is infinitely better than the last time around, and I feel good about learning a lot in the past year
-My dogs are great company! They love me even when I waddle.
-I am already finding time to meet up with old friends. So great! One of these days I will get my big belly to Golden and revisit my favorite places. Then it will really be a perfect June!
-The house is starting to look like a 3rd person is at least on the way. Scary, but exciting!
-I baked cookies on Monday, and they didn't turn out like big puffy pillows for a change!
-I have made and eaten my weight in pasta salad in the past week. I do not feel bad about this. It is delicious.
-It's farmers market season, and the big guy is great company. He's such a ham when we go to all the stalls, everyone has to pet him. He's great, and never pulls me around. I don't think I could so much stop him anymore so at least he's good on the leash!
June makes me happy. It's gonna be a great month!

I am so happy to have been nominated for my second Liebster Award. It truly is a great honor to have people who believe in my writing and who enjoy reading it.
This nomination came from Pooja over at WBG. Take time to visit her site and check out her work.
Since this is my second nomination I will not be nominating anyone but I wanted to take time to answer the questions that WBG had in place for this nomination.
1) If your hair could talk, what would it say to you?
This could be scary. 🙂 I would like to say that although I have "changed" the brown tones on so many different occasions my true self always reveals itself. In other words, the red tones will always make their way through and shine bright. Sort of like my personality.
2) 5 words that best describe you?
Loyal, Hard working, Motivated, Nurturing, and Aloof (at times).
3) Top 3 places you would want to travel to?
I would love to enjoy the scenery of India, Germany (again), and Colombia with my kids.
4) How do you deal with sadness?
That is very tricky. I am not sure I can honestly say I have mastered with dealing with sadness. I would like to think that when sadness occurs I try to encapsulate every other moment surrounding me which in essence would help me brave the riptides of the sadness within me.
5) What's the first thing you do on hearing a happy news?
I text both my daughter and son and also my mother.
6) Are you an introvert or an extrovert or somewhere in between?
I am a little of in between. I have no problem mingling amongst a group of strangers by trying to make small talk but I do have a problem when I am the one who is in the front of the room with a room full of strangers.
7) Your spirit animal would be a ..?
That is a really good one. My daughter used to tell me when she was younger that my spirit animal was a lion. It was due to the ability of having a mild demeanor but when pushed into a corner my growl could emerge.
8) Why do you blog?
I blog because after believing in the faith my family had in me, I realized that my words had meaning. My stories were being born. I realized that the words which were housed deep within me could not longer be kept as a prisoner.
9) What does the world need right now?
Compassion! I notice that many around me lack that very thing. Take for example, a few weeks ago a single mother was driving home and was hit by a drunk driver. Her two children ages 10 and 6 were killed and she has been in a coma since. Instead of the community outlashing at the drunk driver (I might add some did) they were all shaming her for being out at 12:30 in the morning with her kids. I couldn't grasp at how people could be so cruel. It was never known if she was passing through town, or if she worked second shit at a local hospital and was driving home from picking up her kids from a sitter. Even if she was driving home after a family function the fact being she was hit by a DRUNK DRIVER. A gofund was created for the burial of the kids and the comments that were written were absolutely horrifying. One commenter stated "why donate when the mother should have been home." Being a single mother myself, I donated a few dollars.
Everyone is always so quick to judge until it happens to them.
10) Your fave politician? Hahah kidding. OK, your fave music artist?
I love all country singers! However; the one singer who left a lasting impression on me and on the Latina community was Selena.

McKenzie Altmayer
I had the pleasure of working with Geneva High School running superstar McKenzie Altmayer in our SEP (sports enhancement program) at work. She came to me twice last school year as an injured runner. She was committed to her running goals and signed up to get stronger through the summer (her off season) to become stronger, and more efficient, so she could run faster and stay injury free. She showed up for the SEP sessions through the summer following her off season running practices. Tired, sore and probably like most high school girls some days wishing she was sleeping, shopping or being a girl….she came in worked hard, …..and got stronger all summer. We made significant improvements in her strength, and run form. I said good bye to her at the end of summer when cross country season was starting. Several months later I was thrilled to see she met the goals she set of running a low 17 in high school CC meet, making All -state, and staying injury free all season! She is already back in the SEP program , working on becoming stronger for next year!

There are a number of points we could make if reading this poem from a feminist viewpoint. Here are some of them:
* Women are objectified in the poem – use of possessive pronoun 'my' at the start and the objectification of the count's daughter as the duke's 'object' at the end.
* The duchess is portrayed as the stereotype of an 'immoral and dangerous seductress' – she 'thanked men' and 'her looks went everywhere'. In this sense, she holds a real power over the Duke: she is able to incite fear of emasculation through infidelity (rather like Leontes' fear of being cuckolded in 'The Winter's Tale).
* Within this society, there is no place for women to hold this type of power – the duchess is prevented from maintaining such a position by the duke's abuse of his position of power – 'all smiles stopped'.
* Readers may see the duchess as the 'cute but essentially helpless' stereotype – she can appear unthinking, lacking judgement – 'she liked whatever she looked on'. She is undiscriminating, unthinking perhaps.
* The duke is unable (and unwilling) to upset the status quo by asking the duchess to change her behaviour. This, he says, would be 'some stooping'. His pride as the alpha male results in his abuse of power when he has her 'stopped' (killed) instead.
* The language he uses is indicative of the balance of power between them: 'if she let / Herself be lessoned so' suggests his authority over her, as does his imagined dialogue: 'Just this / Or that in you disgusts me; here you miss / Or there exceed the mark'.
* The setting is important – as a painting, the duchess has become assimilated into the duke's display of wealth. She now exists to bolster his pride (and of course, always did.) Futhermore, as a work of art, she fulfills the stereotype of the woman as beautiful, to be admired. She is a clear example of how the 'male gaze' reduces 'femininity' to 'beauty'.
* The curtain acts as a metaphor for the Duke's control. He now is able to prevent other men from usurping his position as ruler, because he controls the curtain – 'none puts by / The curtain I have drawn for you, but I…'
* Women are defined by their relationship to men – 'my last duchess' and 'his fair daughter' – neither are given their own name or identity.
The above points are not in any order, nor do they form an exhaustive list of everything there is to say about this poem in terms of feminism. They are a starting point for your essay, which is due in on Thursday 11th October.
What is it that makes these scenes comical?
Firstly, the humour lies in Benedick looking like a fool. His reactions are crucial to the comedy. Even though Shakespeare gives him very few lines, his unspoken responses are essential to the success of the scene. The contrast between his reactions and his previous behaviour makes us laugh. Believing himself to be unseen and hidden, he is free from his stereotype as a bachelor. His 'mask' is off.
Secondly, the camaraderie amongst the 'practical jokers' is important. They are united by their secret and a sense of shared mischief and fun. The way they egg each other on, and encourage each other to even greater heights of 'acting' is the source of much of the scene's humour.
Finally, the joke is also on the jokers (depending on how the scene is directed). They may be unconvincing at points; perhaps they almost fail. Will he believe them? Will he fall for it? Leonato may well be a source of amusement in this sense – see lines 135-143.

Today is 10.10.10 and I am writing your 10 month letter! I am sorry this is late. Well, not so late... You just turned 10 months 6 days ago! You're such a big boy and I can't believe it! It feels like just yesterday that I was sitting in the hospital (while your daddy was peacefully sleeping) trying to think of a name for you at 3 in the morning. You make a great Noah. You're so sweet, caring, mischievous, daring, smart and talkative! You have multiple crawls that are specifically tailored to what type of floor your on. It's really funny.. your normal crawl is army style, and when you are outside you kind of sit up and walk on one foot and drag the other. When your on a cold floor you do sort of a bear crawl, crawling on your hands and feet, instead of your knees. I had NO idea how good of a climber you really are, until the other day.... I hear your sister screaming "MOMMA, he's CLIMBING, GET HIM!" I came running of course and found you standing on the footboard of my BED! Our bed is at least 3 feet of the ground, it's huge! It was hilarious, exciting, and scary all at once. I told Hannah to hold your hand while I ran to get the camera.. Don't worry, I'm confident she wouldn't have let you fall off ;) Typically, you think it's funny when you do things like these, but the look on your face was not funny.. It was frightened with a look like "How on earth do I get down from here?" Good thing Hannah was there, there's no telling what would have happened :( You can blame that on my watching The Defenders (really good show by the way) in the living room while you played with Hannah in my room. It happened like this, I think: You climbed onto Hannah's Dora couch, up onto the back of it, up onto my ottoman, across the ottoman and up onto the rail of my footboard. Really!?!? How on earth did your tiny mind even THINK about doing this?!!? I'm still amazed :) See, told you you're smart!
Your hiney looks big in these pictures. Hehe I love it :)
You oviously just had dinner (squash ALL over your face) and now you're having a snack (rice rusks to be exact). You wouldn't let me clean you.
Your new attempt at standing up all by yourself. You get SO close. It won't be long until you start walking!
You just recently got your tubes in and you are starting to feel much better. You still wake up 2-4 times a night.. I think it's a lot to do with the new top tooth you are cutting. I don't mind it though, after 10 months I am plenty used to getting up ALL night. I wouldn't mind if you started sleeping 12 hours straight though... It wouldn't hurt???!! You are doing really well at eating food again, and you LOVE eating whatever we are eating. I'd prefer for you to just eat your baby food and your snacks until your one because I think it's much healthier that way :) You are always all over the place and love playing in your sisters room with all of her toys. She doesn't mind sharing though so you guys play really well together. You love being outside lately and love eating everything laying on the ground around you. You are a boy, if you want to eat dirt, go ahead and eat it. You haven't got sick so far! You are growing out of all of your clothes SO fast (probably all of the dirt you are eating). We definitely will be shopping for some much bigger clothes for you very soon. I put shoes on you for the first time the other day. You hated them. You cried and pulled on them for the first 3 minutes and then got over it. You are already in a size 4!! Big boy! I have to move everything with you.. you get into everything and give me a sweet look when I tell you no, and go after stuff anyways. Your sister never once got into anything, so I never had to move anything or babyproof. You are a different story, I'm constantly having to move my stuff. But, I refuse to move it for good. You will learn sweet boy, don't touch momma's stuff!!! :) I hope this next month brings us walking, saying some real words, learning "no" better, and sleeping through the night. You are a ball of energy and you make us laugh everyday. I love you more than anything and I hope you are enjoying your 10th month of life!
Love, Mommy

Mother's instincts and baby's responses are naturally designed for breastfeeding. But if her baby could tell Mom anything to make it all go smother, what would it be?
The first drops of milk you make are all I need to start my body growing. The colostrum contains directions, amazing nutrition and protection for me to last a lifetime!
Don't worry about making enough milk for me. If you hold me so close our skin touches and have patience with how often I have to practice finding my place, I can actually help tell you how much food I need.
My tummy is my happy place. It takes a few weeks for me to stretch out and unfold. On my tummy, on your body is the best place for hat to happen. Our hormones rise, more milk is made, I learn to feed even better, and we are both happier.
Making milk is your Superpower! The five different sugars in breast milk protect my tummy from germs, keep all of me healthy, and even tell my brain to grow. No one else makes food that is just right for me.
You can get tired learning something new. We both need to rest a lot and you have to eat for energy to make milk. Getting support gives you energy too, so introduce me to your family and take time to share your new adventure with your friends.
So, keep me close, feed me your milk often, let me practice until I find the right place to nurse comfortably for both of us, and trust me to order up the right amount of milk as our eyes meet while you watch me grow.

Because Chris has been so busy with work lately, we wanted to spend some time to ourselves during his 3 days weekend. We had a GREAT time! Thursday night, we all went grocery shopping together, then on Friday we went to Table Rock State Park and really enjoyed ourselves. Then on Saturday, we went up to the Gaffney shopping outlets and scored some new clothes which we all desperately needed. All in all, it was a great weekend!
We started with a delicious picnic lunch of clubhouse chicken ceasar sandwhiches with sun-dried tomatoes and sweet potato chips, apple slices, and 6 layer brownies for dessert. As Rachel Ray would say, Yummo! 🙂
Obviously, Chloe liked it! 🙂
Then it was off for a little hike – and when I say "little", I mean, it was "little" – about 3 minutes of hiking. . .
What we found on our little hike – a little waterfall! 🙂
As soon as we set Chloe down, this is the first place she went – sqealing the whole way! 🙂
After an adventurous change of clothes in the creek, it was time for our walk back to the park to feed the ducks.
Chloe didn't like how close the ducks wanted to come to her and just kept saying "buh-bye! Buh-bye!" So, we decided to go the (less frightening) playground for a while. 🙂
After the 30 minute drive home (of which Chloe was asleep in the car within 90 seconds – seriously!), we let her take a nap, then we all went outside to play with sparklers. Chloe loved 'em! Then it was play time with Jack (Chris' parent's dog that we were sitting for) before bed. . . Then bath time. . . Notice how tired the little bug looks! "night night!"

Kim Kardashian has landed yet another magazine cover and this time it is for the legendary 'Rolling Stone.' The reality star rocked a natural makeup look, letting her massive cleavage steal the show. You can SHOP for Kim's pretty beauty look here!
Kim Kardashian, 34, killed it on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, putting the most cleavage we have ever seen on display, while opting for a natural makeup look. What do you guys think of Kim's cover look? You can SHOP for Kim's au natural face here.
Wow — it's been a while since we have seen this much cleavage on Kim and to be honest, that is saying a lot because she sure does love flaunting it! Kim is featured on the cover in a sailor costume — a sailor hat, hoop earrings, a sailor shirt, and a shiny red bra that is barely preventing her breasts from spilling out.
Obviously the main attraction of the cover is her cleavage and that is why she opted for no-makeup makeup. Aside from some eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss, she looked very natural. Her makeup was done by Mario Dedivanovic.
To get glossy lips like Kim's, matching the color of your lips without them being too sparkly, try NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss.
For her subtle yet sexy eyeliner, try Lancôme 'Artliner' Precision Point liquid liner to add some oomph to your eyes, without making them too dark.
Her shiny, sexy hair was styled by Chris McMillan. Copy her look with Living Proof products.
We love the way Kim looks on the cover of the mag — it is nice to see her without a tan of makeup on — do you agree?
You can scoop up your own copy of the mag when it hits newsstands on July 3!

A 'golden oldie' brought to you by a non-church-going North London science teacher!
Get past the oddness of it all. This is Zingcreed!
I maintain that the Liberation Theology project, though strangled at birth (well, a little later) by bloody pope Ratzinger, still has some mileage left in it. So I'm getting out my bicycle pump and pumping a little more air into the only show in town.
It's TIME FOR RE-INFLATION, TIME FOR A RESURRECTION!
-Because we still have poverty and oppression in the third (and other) worlds, just like in the 1970's.
-World commodity prices are still set in the City of London (making it the responsibility of London Christians to do something about them.)
-Western arms still keep unspeakable tyrants in power, so that we can mine their countries' resources without interference from the populace.
-Because bankers are still, well, wankers!
-Because up to a million people in Britain depend on foodbanks.
The L.T. paradigm may have been throttled, but it's still arguably the best thing around (Notify me of alternatives using the Comment box at bottom of page). So, from time to time in this 'Red Christian documents' series (30 more in the pipeline) I shall pop in a document from the days of struggle in the latter years of the 20th century.
To take it further: Google Brazilian stuff: President Lula and his Workers' Party, and the Landless Peoples' Movements. (MST)
Best of all, go there – airfares are so cheap these days. I've gone twice, and it's like southern Europe, except for the humming birds every where ("Flower kissers" in Portuguese), and the coffee is better! By the way, Petropolis, where the Boff brothers hang out is a thriving, beautiful metropolis. Lovely place to live and work. The favelas (shanty towns) and rural poverty hubs are less accessible but shocking when you do reach them.
This 1986 statement by the Boff brothers was a landmark on the road to land reform in South America.
by Leonardo & Clodovis Boff
Step zero: Participation
- being involved in the specific problem concerning land in the area, working in rural base communities, being active in trade unions, taking part in harvests and other field tasks, participating in the struggles of rural workers, and so forth.
Step one: Socio-analytical mediation (seeing)
- analyze the land situation as it affects the nation as a whole or the particular area where one is working;
- encourage rural workers to stand up for themselves;
- see how individuals experience their problems and how they resist oppression or organise their resistance to it;
Step two: Hermeneutical mediation (judging)
- evaluating how the populace face up to the land question on the basis of its religion and faith;
- evaluating how the bible views land (gift of God, promised land, symbol of the final kingdom to come, etc.);
- determining how theological tradition, especially as expressed by the church fathers, sees the question of land (common ownership, non-commercial character of land, etc.);
Step three: Practical mediation (acting)
- stressing the value of worker unity and organisation; unions, cooperatives, or other movements;
- publicizing the need for agrarian reform to be brought about by those who work the land;
- making a choice of particular banners under which to fight, linking with other forces, forecasting possible consequences, possible allocation of tasks etc.

Great Week... we did service and had a lot more citas than we have had in this area for a while.
This last week we have been focusing a lot on the Plan of Salvation.
We got a reference this last week from our stake president and his wife about someone he used to work with who's son who was in his early 20's just passed a way in a motor accident, so we did an introduction to the Plan of Salvation they were very interested and had some really good questions. I hope that they had felt the spirit just as I was able to feel it. We have another cita with them this Friday and I hope after they had a chance to read the pamphlet that they will be able to understand the plan of God for each and every one of us and for our FAMILIES.
Our second experience was with Erilina and Tamara. Over the last couple of weeks we have been teaching them about the Plan of Salvation. During this time their dad has been really sick. On Sunday Erilina came to church with her 3 kids. She is such a strong women and a huge example to me. Even though one of her kids wasn't feeling well and were tired they still came. While we were in Relief Society a family member of Erilina came and told her that her dad had just passed away. So, Hna Bowen, me and our Relief Society President drove her and her kids to her house. When we got there she was freaking out. However, when we got back to church our Relief Society President did an amazing thing. This family has nothing so she talked to a couple of members and a lot of them pitched money in to help the family get a casket for the body. It was so cool seeing the members work and help this family out. Monday we got invited to go to the funeral. When we got to their house Erilina told me that she needed more strength and that she couldn't do this, and then Tamara asked us if we could sing some hymns for them so we did. There was about 6 of us and we sang about 5 hymns for them until they were ready to take the body to the cementary. Before they took the body they asked us to say a prayer for them. One of the Elders in my area did and it was very comforting for them. While we were at the cementary waiting for them to finish digging the hole (the family ended up having to help finish the hole because it wasn't big enough) and a couple of the daughters of the guy that just died were going crazy. One of the daughters of the dad tried jumping in because she didn't want them putting her dads body in it. It was really sad to watch. At one point I went up to Erilina and asked her how she was and she told me "I know he's with God he's fine now", it just gave me a warm feeling and I reassured her that he is not suffering anymore and that he is in a better place and that she will see him again.
I am so greatful for the Plan of Salvation and for the experiences that I have had this last week. It has not been an easy week and I hate don't do well with death, but I know that everything will be alright through the plan of God. He is always here for us and he will always carry us through those hard times. We are never alone. If we are strong and have trust in the Lord~ everything will be ok.
I came across this poem again this week and thought I would share it. I know the Lord is always with us.
The Footprints Prayer
One night I had a dream...
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life, There was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, You would walk with me all the way; But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, There is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why in times when I needed you the most, you should leave me.
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child. I love you, and I would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.
I love and miss you guys!
Until next week!
I hope you have a great week!
Hermana Heather Peugnet <3
I hope you have a great week!

Hurricanes grab second after battering Brumbies
The Hurricanes stretched their winning streak to four games with a 33-15 Super 14 thrashing of the Brumbies at Canberra Stadium on Friday evening.
The Hurricanes blew away the weakened Brumbies by five tries to two and condemned the Brumbies to their first home defeat in seven matches, stretching back over a year.
Notoriously a hot-and-cold team, the Hurricanes were far too clinical on the night for the error-prone Brumbies after leading just 7-3 at half-time.
The bonus point victory lifted the Hurricanes above the Waratahs, Blues and Sharks into second spot heading into the weekend's fifth round of matches.
The Brumbies, missing a chunk of injured leading stars, slumped to eighth after the Stormers' victory over the Chiefs earlier on Friday evening.
The Hurricanes' powerful back row trio dominated at the breakdown, with All Blacks flanker Chris Masoe scoring two second-half tries.
Hooker Andrew Hore also scored after half-time, while wingers Shannon Paku and Hosea Gear rounded off the try scorers.
The Brumbies led 3-0 through an early penalty to full-back Mark Gerrard, but failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage after Hurricanes centre Tamati Ellison was yellow-carded for a high tackle on winger Francis Fainifo.
The Hurricanes dominated for most of the second half and Hore spun over in the 55th minute following sustained pressure.
The Brumbies lost Wallabies back rower Stephen Hoiles to the sin bin for abusive language to the South African referee Willie Roos in disputing Hore's try.
The home team scored next with replacement flanker Julian Salvi crossing after a break from substitute scrum-half Josh Holmes.
A breakaway try to Gear and Masoe's brace helped push the Hurricanes to a 33-8 buffer, while centre Tyrone Smith scored a late try for the Brumbies.
The Brumbies and the Hurricanes have next week off with a bye.
Hurricanes 33: (C Masoe 2, H Gear, A Hore, S Paku tries; J Gopperth 3, W Ripia conversions)
Brumbies 15: (J Salvi, T Smith tries; Gerrard conversion; Gerrard penalty)

I remember someone told me once the less you know the better.
I was on the train, had so much time to think, in fact, it was more overthinking rather than thinking. Anyways, the sentence that I mention above crossed my mind and I thought I wish sometimes I didn't know as much as I do. Sounds really mysterious, doesn't it? Well, I'm not really trying to discover anything new by saying that, I just know that many times to know is leading to misery. Why is that?
Do you recall my previous blog where I said that travelling is not as amazing as everyone is telling us? Same happens with knowledge, at least it does happen to me every now and then.
I do like History, and I believe that it is important to know where you're coming from, what are your roots, who were your ancestors and what did they believe in. However, I get this shiver when I'm reading next book about Holocaust or Spanish Civil War or any other book that reminds us of the cruelty that a human being was and yet is able to commit. That kind of books make me question my life my beliefs, which is good, nevertheless, they make me feel sad. I realise it sounds trivial, but by knowing more and more I loose something that should never be taken away from us, hope.
Hope that we are able to create a better life and world for ourselves.
It probably appears highly pessimistic, but every day we are surrounded by negativity.
Our friends, family, the news they all are mostly transmitting bad information, not the good one.
Do I want that for myself? I know it is inevitable, and certainly, it is up to me whether I let that affect me or nor, but sometimes I just feel like if only I lived in a lost house somewhere in the woods.
I would probably grow my own vegetables, I would probably go for long walks, I would enjoy every single minute, you know why? Because I simply wouldn't know that there is something else out there.
I wouldn't compare that the river here is uglier than the river in Spain. That we have less sunny days than Italy does, that my friend earns more money even though she doesn't even have a degree.
What is more, I wouldn't know what cruelty means because I wouldn't have anyone to show or teach me what it is. However, I also would what love is and within ten nasty people I would never get to know 1 person who is worth fighting for.
Is it better not to know? I have no clue, but the idea of leaving everything behind even if it was only for 2/3 days does sound tempting!
No phone, no facebook, no friends, no family, no books just you and nature.
Well, we would probably go nuts after couple of days, but it is worth giving a try :)
Good night x

(a) Choice of Law
(b) Reasonableness under Fourth Amendment Standards
Before the Court are the Defendants' motions challenging various searches conducted on September 23, 1988 by state officers pursuant to state warrants.
(A) Searches and Seizures of Machines from Approximately 80 Locations
(i) Findings of Fact
1. On September 23, 1988, state and local police officers, pursuant to state warrants, simultaneously searched approximately 100 separate locations--bars, delicatessens, coffee shops, etc.-- for evidence of illegal video poker machine gambling.
2. At approximately 80 locations, video poker machines owned by Defendant John F. "Duffy" Conley ("Duffy Conley"), the sole proprietor of Duffy's Vending Company, were seized. The police seized poker machines, removed them to a secure location, and then forced opened the compartments of the machines. No further search warrants were obtained.
3. Duffy Conley had no proprietary or possessory interest in most of the locations from which his machines were seized.
4. The seized video poker machines were visible to all patrons of the searched businesses. The video poker machines were in areas that were open to the public.
5. A typical video poker machine was encased in a cabinet approximately five feet tall, three feet wide and three feet deep. The video display monitor, where a player viewed the game, was located at the top front of the cabinet. Below the video display monitor was the control panel, which contained the buttons that enabled a player to operate the machine. Two compartments, an upper compartment and a lower compartment, were located below the control panel and made up the remainder of the machine.
6. In a typical video poker machine,
the upper compartment, with a volume of about three cubic feet, contained the electronics that made the machine a video poker machine. It contained a circuit board and meters. Duffy's Vending Company employees also stored service slips and keys to the lower compartment in the upper compartment.
7. The upper compartment was secured by a lock and key. Only Duffy Conley and certain employees whom he designated had access to the keys to the upper compartments of machines. Only those with access to the keys had access to the upper compartments.
8. The owners and operators of the locations in which the machines were placed did not have access to the keys to the upper compartment. Therefore, they did not have access to the upper compartments.
9. The lower compartment contained a detachable receptacle into which the bills and coins fed into the machine by players fell.
10. The lower compartment was also secured by a lock and key. The owners and operators of the machines had keys to the lower compartment. For each machine, the keys to the upper and lower compartments were different.
11. The seized video poker machines were equipped with electronic "knock off" switches, which removed accumulated credits when players were paid-off. They were also equipped with meters to record the total amount of credits granted for money deposited and the amount of credits "knocked off" when players were paid-off. With each credit worth twenty-five cents, the machine recorded both its own gross receipts and receipts net of money paid out as winnings to players.
12. By pressing the buttons on the control panel in a certain sequence, the information stored in the meter functions could be displayed on the video display monitor.
13. When a collector from Duffy Vending arrived to service a machine and collect money from the machine, the collector accessed the meter functions. The information then shown on the video display monitor, although unintelligible to the uninitiated, was available to be viewed by anyone present at the location who cared to look at it.
14. The capias clauses of the warrants executed at the eighty locations authorized the seizure of numerous items including remote or internal "knock-off" switches, all money wagered in the machines, money intended for pay-offs on machines, records of pay-offs, meters, keys to machines and other paraphernalia indicative of illegal gambling.
(ii) Discussion
(a) Procedural Background
The Court has been "instructed that in Rakas v. Illinois, 439 U.S. 128, 99 S. Ct. 421, 58 L. Ed. 2d 387 (1978), the Supreme Court 'abandoned a separate inquiry into a defendant's "standing" to contest an allegedly illegal search in favor of an inquiry that focused directly on the substance of the defendant's claim that he or she possessed a "legitimate expectation of privacy" in the area searched,'" United States v. Felton, 753 F.2d 256, 259 (3d Cir. 1985) (quoting Rawlings v. Kentucky, 448 U.S. 98, 104, 65 L. Ed. 2d 633, 100 S. Ct. 2556 (1980)). Nonetheless, the Court, in an effort to simplify and expedite the lengthy pretrial proceedings in this case, has employed the "standing" terminology as "short-hand" for expectations protected by the Fourth Amendment. The Court has attempted to adjudicate, without reference to the merits, the defendants' Fourth Amendment motions and joinders therein, where it has been clear that no federally secured right of a particular defendant has been violated. Cf. Rawlings v. Kentucky, 448 U.S. 98, 111-12, 65 L. Ed. 2d 633, 100 S. Ct. 2556 (1980) (Blackmun. J., concurring); see, e.g., General Order of Court 13, P 3, United States v. Conley, 856 F. Supp. 1010, 1994 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 7281 (W.D. Pa. 1993) (Document No. 616). Generally, this approach has had a salutary effect.
With reference to the eighty searches conducted on September 23, 1988, the Court held a hearing pursuant to Simmons v. United States, 390 U.S. 377, 19 L. Ed. 2d 1247, 88 S. Ct. 967 (1968), at which Defendant Duffy Conley testified.
The hearing was to determine whether or not the Court, without referring to probable cause and the warrants for the eighty locations, could properly conclude that the police violated none of Duffy Conley's Fourth Amendment rights. For the following reasons, the Court regrettably concludes that it cannot reach such a conclusion and must review the circumstances of each of the eighty searches.
(b) The Applicable Legal Standard
Early in the twentieth century, a defendant's Fourth Amendment rights were intimately dependent on the defendant's property rights. See, e.g., Gouled v. United States, 255 U.S. 298, 309-11, 65 L. Ed. 647, 41 S. Ct. 261 (1921), overruled, Warden v. Hayden, 387 U.S. 294, 18 L. Ed. 2d 782, 87 S. Ct. 1642 (1967); Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 464-67, 72 L. Ed. 944, 48 S. Ct. 564 (1928), overruled, Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 19 L. Ed. 2d 576, 88 S. Ct. 507 (1967); see also Warden v. Hayden, 387 U.S. 294, 303-04, 18 L. Ed. 2d 782, 87 S. Ct. 1642 (1967). By the late 1960's, however, the Supreme Court was shifting the focus of its Fourth Amendment jurisprudence away from property rights and towards privacy rights. Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 19 L. Ed. 2d 576, 88 S. Ct. 507 (1967); Hayden, 387 U.S. at 304-08. Emphasizing the dual innovations of recognizing privacy interests under the Fourth Amendment and excluding items seized in violation of the Fourth Amendment pursuant to the exclusionary rule, Hayden, 387 U.S. at 304-08, the Court concluded that "the premise that property interests control the right of the Government to search and seize has been discredited." Id. at 304.
Shortly after the Court's decision in Hayden, the privacy innovation was clearly declared in Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 19 L. Ed. 2d 576, 88 S. Ct. 507 (1967). The Supreme court recognized that the Fourth Amendment "protects individual privacy against certain kinds of governmental intrusion, but its protections go further, and often have nothing to do with privacy at all." Id. at 350. The Court emphasized that "the Fourth Amendment protects people, not places." Id. at 351. Holding that the defendant's Fourth Amendment rights were violated when the government listened to and recorded his conversations within a telephone booth, the Court stated that a "'search and seizure'" occurred when the government "violated the privacy upon which he justifiably relied." Id. at 353.
Concurring in Katz, Justice Harlan stated, "My understanding of the rule that has emerged from prior decisions is that there is a twofold requirement, first that a person have exhibited an actual (subjective) expectation of privacy and, second, that the expectation be one that society is prepared to recognize as 'reasonable.'" Id. at 361 (Harlan, J. concurring). Justice Harlan's formulation of the "reasonable expectation of privacy" test is the formulation now applied by the majority of the Court. See, e.g., Skinner v. Railway Labor Executives' Ass'n, 489 U.S. 602, 616, 103 L. Ed. 2d 639, 109 S. Ct. 1402 (1989); California v. Greenwood, 486 U.S. 35, 39, 100 L. Ed. 2d 30, 108 S. Ct. 1625 (1988); Oliver v. United States, 466 U.S. 170, 177, 80 L. Ed. 2d 214, 104 S. Ct. 1735 (1984).
Prior to the property/privacy innovations of Hayden and Katz, it was well established that Fourth Amendment rights were personal and one who was not aggrieved by the search or seizure could not object to the admission of the seized evidence. Jones v. United States, 362 U.S. 257, 261, 4 L. Ed. 2d 697, 80 S. Ct. 725 (1960), overruled, United States v. Salvucci, 448 U.S. 83, 65 L. Ed. 2d 619, 100 S. Ct. 2547 (1980); United States v. Jeffers, 342 U.S. 48, 96 L. Ed. 59, 72 S. Ct. 93 (1951); Hatch v. Reardon, 204 U.S. 152, 160, 51 L. Ed. 415, 27 S. Ct. 188 (1907). That is, "[a] person who is aggrieved by an illegal search and seizure only through the introduction of damaging evidence secured by a search of a third person's premises or property has not had any of his Fourth Amendment rights infringed." Rakas v. Illinois, 439 U.S. 128, 134, 58 L. Ed. 2d 387, 99 S. Ct. 421 (1978) (citing Alderman v. United States, 394 U.S. 165, 174, 22 L. Ed. 2d 176, 89 S. Ct. 961 (1969)).
In Rakas, as noted supra, Part I(A)(ii)(a), the Supreme Court abandoned previous case law that had suggested that a separate inquiry into who was an aggrieved party, an inquiry into "standing," was required or useful. The Court instructed that a court's inquiry should be directed to "the substantive question of whether or not the proponent of the motion to suppress has had his own Fourth Amendment rights infringed by the search and seizure which he seeks to challenge." Rakas, 439 U.S. at 133, 138-40.
Further, the Court cited the Katz "legitimate expectation of privacy" test as providing guidance in defining protected Fourth Amendment interests. Id. at 143 & n.12. The Court took care to state that property interests were neither necessary nor sufficient conditions precedent to a reasonable expectation of privacy.
In United States v. Salvucci, 448 U.S. 83, 65 L. Ed. 2d 619, 100 S. Ct. 2547 (1980) and its companion case, Rawlings v. Kentucky, 448 U.S. 98, 65 L. Ed. 2d 633, 100 S. Ct. 2556 (1980), the Court placed almost exclusive reliance on reasonable expectations of privacy in defining the scope of Fourth Amendment rights. The Salvucci Court, as one of the reasons for rejecting the "automatic standing" rule of Jones V. United States, 362 U.S. 257, 4 L. Ed. 2d 697, 80 S. Ct. 725 (1960), "declined to use possession of a seized good as a substitute for a factual finding that the owner of the good had a legitimate expectation of privacy in the area searched." Salvucci, 448 U.S. at 92; see also id. at 91 & n.6.
In Rawlings, the defendant contended that his ownership of the items seized conferred the right to challenge the search of another's purse, where the items seized had been located. The Supreme Court rejected his contention, stating:
While petitioner's ownership of the drugs is undoubtedly one fact to be considered in this case, Rakas emphatically rejected the notion that "arcane" concepts of property law ought to control the ability to claim the protections of the Fourth Amendment. See 439 U.S. at 149-150, n.17. See also United States v. Salvucci, ante, at 91-92.
Id. at 105 (emphasis added). Notwithstanding Salvucci and Rawlings, the Supreme Court's subsequent cases have reaffirmed that the Fourth Amendment protects certain property interests.
Adopting distinct definitions of a "search" and a "seizure," the Court has held that the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable "seizures" protects property interests. Soldal v. Cook County, 121 L. Ed. 2d 450, U.S. , 113 S. Ct. 538, 544 (1992) (citing cases); United States v. Jacobsen, 466 U.S. 109, 80 L. Ed. 2d 85, 104 S. Ct. 1652 (1984). In Jacobsen, the Court first clearly enunciated the distinction, stating:
[The Fourth Amendment] protects two types of expectations, one involving "searches," the other "seizures." A "search" occurs when an expectation of privacy that society is prepared to accept as reasonable is infringed. A "seizure" of property occurs when there is some meaningful interference with an individual's possessory interests in that property.
Id. at 113 (emphasis added). The Court has also distinguished the manner in which the Fourth Amendment protects the two expectations.
Absent a recognized exception, the probable cause, particularity and warrant requirements of the Fourth Amendment apply equally to searches and seizures. The Court has recently stated, "Time and again, this Court has observed that searches and seizures conducted outside the judicial process, without prior approval by judge or magistrate, are per se unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment--subject only to a few specifically established and well delineated exceptions." Minnesota v. Dickerson, 124 L. Ed. 2d 334, U.S. , 113 S. Ct. 2130, 2135 (1993) (internal quotations and citations omitted). What distinguishes the Fourth ...

Pinterest Tested Recipe: Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffin with no flour or oil
Original recipe pin here
This recipe is interesting for two reasons. First, its pretty healthy. Made with greek yogurt and oatmeal flour and no oil and little sugar. Second, its made in a blender and not with a mixer.
I liked to throw everything in the blender, so easy! But next time, I would put the liquid at the bottom and the oats at the top, because it took a long time to blend up those oats. Next time, I'm going to use honey instead of brown sugar and put a little vanilla and salt as well.
Would I make this again? definitely.
It was so moist and so tasty and so filling and hard to believe it was pretty healthy, eating oats, bananas and greek yogurt. I really liked them.

It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since my last update. I assure that this is not because I have ceased making errors or learning from them. With Volker moving to Debian, FreeNAS being frozen with FreeBSD 7.2, at least for now, Oracle's Acquisition of Sun and the resulting demise of Open Solaris, my inability in achieving stability with SABnzbd and Sick-Beard hacked into embedded FreeNAS, I decided in June to hang up FreeNAS.
As you can see in my blog, I have had a lot of interest in getting to the benefits of ZFS. I spent a lot of time investigate the possibility of going to Linux with BTRFS and had overal reached a decision to do that. But, because of my laissez faire nature, I really didn't want to write off and relead a couple of terabytes of data to make the transfer. So I decided to give FreeBSD 8.1, which was in RC at the time, a chance. While I like the allure of appliances like FreeNAS with their simple web interfaces and fences to keep you on the right path, as a long term fiddgle and IT designer, I always feel hemmed in with this, hence my desire to add SABnzbd and Sick-Beard.
While installing FreeBSD 8.1, I came close, very close to abandoning it. It had been years since I worked with it at the system administration level. The differences in paradigms from Linux and the at times lacking documentation were driving me crazy. In making some poor decisions, I got into to multi-day ports compilations on my relatively weak hardware. But in the wee hours of the mornings across a weekend, I ended up with a configuration that is stable and performant. It meets my fileserving needs as well as lets me run a handful of other services on it. My ZFS volumes cleanly imported and have been running well. I have had two kernel panics since having it in, err hm production, both associated with heavy writes while moving some ISO images to the server. I have been tuning vm.kmem.size and vfs.zfs.arc_max values to attempt to get this settled down and think I may be there now.
I'll close this post out with the folowing observaton/recommendation - If you are or have a mind to administer FreeBSD directly and are being pinched by the current state of FreeNAS, give FreeBSD 8.1 a try. It isn't nirvana, but it isn't keeping me awake at night either.
I'll post more later with more configuration information.
Cheers, lbe
Like most, I learn a lot more by doing things wrong before doing them right. Maybe, I can save someone some of my learning pain, I mean curve!

House Cleaning Services in Mumbai
The Queen Helene Mint Julep mask is amazing (it's basically the same as Lush's Mask of Magnaminty with a more creamy texture) but cheaper (you can get it at drugstores or Ulta). I've also heard good things about Queen Helene's Mud Pack Mask. I am interested in trying the GlamGlow masks (but in my experience with high end face masks, they've never performed noticeably better, so I have a hard time justifying it), and I have heard nothing but amazing things about the Aztec Secret Healing Clay Mask (I've seen it at Whole Foods before but never anywhere else other than online). It's cheap and supposedly you can *literally* feel it work, but the downside is you have to mix it with another ingredient (like rosewater or apple cider vinegar depending on your skin type) since it is so intense.ReplyDelete

some of the blogs i've subscribed to don't show up in the dashboaerd for some reason...ReplyDelete
It's probably because of summer. Some of the brave, or just plain crazy, decided to set out to this mystical place called outside. I'm still waiting to hear from a couple friends who wanted to map out the neighborhood, they heard there was a female that lived close by, but, I fear the worst for them. They only had enough inhalers and twinkies for one day and it's already been three since I last heard from them!ReplyDelete
noticed the decline on my blog too. :(ReplyDelete
