Each game features a newcomer to the WAC versus a holdover.
Texas State hosts San Jose State University.
Bobcat athletics and Spartan athletics preview. Randy Stevens also take a look.
It should be a fast-paced, high scoring game -- Texas State is second in the WAC in scoring, SJSU fourth -- so who be be the hottest and who will defend best?
New Mexico State is also in Lone Star territory against UT Arlington.
Aggie athletics and Maverick athletics preview. Jason Groves checks in.
It's also Sim Bhullar versus Jordan Reves.
Making it a trifecta, Texas San Antonio welcomes Utah State to town.
UTSA athletics previews as does Kraig Williams, Shawn Harrison and Kyle Goon plus Jerry Briggs and Inside Runner Sports from the Lone Star State perspective.
Can the Roadrunners keep the Aggie insiders from going wild while winning the backcourt battle?
Denver comes down to Ruston to battle Louisiana Tech.
Pioneer athletics and LT athletics preview. Matt Vines looks at the matchup while featuring senior Brandon Gibson.
Neither squad plays power ball inside as Tech wants to play fast and Denver will be content to run its offense. Call this one the pairing to watch tonight because of the contrast in styles.
Seattle is setting up for its initial WAC matchup, this one versus Idaho.
Vandal athletics and Redhawk athletics preview. So does Bob Condotta as well as Seattle U Hoops.

Different Steps of Civil Cases in India
Published: 16th May 2012
Views: N/A
Initial Court Papers : The legal papers that are filed in court at the beginning of a lawsuit are called "pleadings."Your attorney will explain pleadings to you in the particular context of your case, but the summary that follows will give you a head start in understanding some of the many documents that may become a part of your civil laws.
Fact-Finding and Discovery : A hallmark of the American legal system is the principle that there should be as few surprises as possible in the course of a lawsuit. That disclosure is accomplished through a methodical process called "discovery." Discovery takes three basic forms: written discovery, document production and depositions. Document production is fairly self-explanatory. Courts are allowing access to computer files as part of document discovery.
Resolution Before Trial: A motion is a request your lawyer files with the court asking for a ruling on a particular matter. If the ruling on the motion could terminate the litigation and end the dispute before trial, it is called a dispositive motion. A motion to dismiss is sometimes filed in the very early stages of the litigation, before the parties have conducted discovery.
Settlement : The majority of legal claims filed in civil court do not reach the trial stage- most are resolved earlier through a negotiated settlement among the parties. An informal settlement can even take place before any lawsuit is filed. Through settlement, the plaintiff in a civil case agrees to give up the right to pursue any further legal action in connection with his or her case, in exchange for the payment of an agreed-upon sum of money from the defendant (or the defendant's insurer).
Trial and Verdict : A judge or jury examines the evidence to decide whether, by a "preponderance of the evidence," the defendant should be held legally responsible for the damages alleged by the plaintiff. A trial is the plaintiff's opportunity to argue his or her case, in the hope of obtaining a judgment against the defendant.
After a Judgment: Even when you "win" a civil case in court and are awarded money damages, the opposing party may not always simply pay you the amount of the judgment. You may have to take additional steps (and incur additional expenses) to collect the judgment.They do so because they want to avoid unpleasant "collection" activities and additional expense.
Appeals : An appeal is a review of the trial court's application of the law. There is no jury in an appeal, nor do the lawyers present witnesses or, typically, other forms of evidence. The court will accept the facts as they were revealed in the trial court, unless a factual finding is clearly against the weight of the evidence.
The civil cases which seeks to resolve non-criminal disputes such as disagreement over the meaning of contracts, property ownership, family disputes namely divorce & child custody etc. and damages for personal and property damage is called civil law.Mostly civil cases does not prescribe punsihment but the Code of Civil Procedure clearly specifies that persons who are to be punished under the civil law must be sent to civil prison. It clearly shows that there exists civil prisons for the punishment of offenders under civil law. When a person commited contempt of court i.e. a decree or order pronounced by court is not obeyed then that peson is liable for contempt of court and in such situations Civil cases also leads to punish the person who committed such offence.

Magic Johnson says that he plans to work with D'Angelo this off season. Despite his horrid opinions in recent years this is really good news……
In recent years the Idea of Magic Johnson saying or doing anything with the Lakers has been a total negative connotation. After constant tweets criticizing his former team's President of basketball Operations:
If I was Jim Buss I would travel w/ the @Lakers. Jim needs to find out what the issues are with the team, he can't do that from an office.
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) February 8, 2013
And other verbal bashings in other avenues like the LA times
"I'm going to say it again: I love Jim Buss. He should just be the owner, like his dad was just the owner," Johnson said. "Let's go back with facts, so I can back this up with facts: 27 wins a couple years ago, 21 wins last year. Three summers now, we haven't signed anybody. I am backing this up with facts. We haven't signed any superstar. We've had cap space. We had cap space last summer. We're going to have more this summer."
It seems that Magic is starting to turn things around with his opinions of how the team is being ran:
Outstanding hire by Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak to name Luke Walton as the next @Lakers coach!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) April 30, 2016
Laker Nation, I'm excited that Luke Walton is the new coach!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 1, 2016
Coach Luke Walton will make the young players better and Free Agents will be excited to come play for Coach Walton and the Lakers!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 1, 2016
Most importantly was his more recent tweets today involving a certain young player that looks to become the next great Laker Point Guard himself:
Laker Nation: I had a really good lunch meeting with D'Angelo Russell!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 1, 2016
In my meeting with D'Angelo Russell, he picked my brain about the PG position and I'm looking forward to working out with him this summer!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 1, 2016
For most Laker fans Johnson and his recent twitter antics have not only become extremely frustrating, but they have also grown very comical. Even spawning a parody account @MagicsTweets that has confused many as magic himself:
Real Account
With Steph Curry on the floor the Golden State Warriors are a championship team! Without him they are still a very good team!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 1, 2016
Parody Account:
With LeBron James on the floor the Cleveland Cavaliers are a championship contender! Without him they are not as good of a team!
— Magic Johnson (@MagicsTweets) May 1, 2016
Though he has been a figure of disdain for the Laker's Front Office and their fans it is very encouraging that D'Angelo Russel is reaching out to him for help and to pick Magic's Brain. Though Magic today has been uneducated in his comments he is still one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Russel was drafted by the Lakers because of his incredible passing and court vision. Who better to mentor him on passing than the greatest passer of all time. regardless of how Laker fans feel about the former PG, the future star PG of this team learning from him is an excellent sign. More and more good news for a franchise that seemed to be going now where just over 2 weeks ago.
All this said Magic continues to amaze the masses with his terrible tweets:
Laker Nation: DeMar DeRozan should be one of the free agents we go after this summer.
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 2, 2016
Golden State Warriors superstar Klay Thompson scored a quiet 37pts in the win over the Blazers!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 2, 2016

On May 16th, a training was held in San Jose at Next Door Solutions to further instruct the five member agencies of the Santa Clara Domestic Violence Advocacy Consortium on becoming familiar with the DVIRC. The meeting was facilitated by W.O.M.A.N., Inc. staff members Jill, Mariya, and Tania. About 13 members from different agencies belonging to the consortium were present. The five participating agencies are Asian Americans for Community Involvement, Maitri, Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, YWCA Support Network for Battered Women, and La Isla Pacifica Community Solutions.
The collaboration between W.O.M.A.N., Inc. and this Santa Clara county-based consortium started about a year ago when W.O.M.A.N., Inc. received a grant from Blue Shield Foundation to further expand the DVIRC. Since then, the two entities have been working closely on a number of aspects related to the DVIRC in hopes that consortium members will become even more comfortable accessing the system on a regular basis.
Several topics were covered at the training, such as how to update shelter census info and how to properly display the resources that each organization offers. The intention of this training was to contribute to a better understanding of the DVIRC and, in turn, encourage the five member agencies to use it on a regular basis and eventually be able to independently provide a daily shelter census availability update. A more comprehensive knowledge of the DVIRC will also encourage and simplify communication between the agencies that actively use it.

via Lina for Chewing Gum Action Group
New Street transformed like you've never seen it before
Retail Birmingham BID launches campaign to change behaviour towards chewing gum disposal
In partnership with Chewing Gum Action Group, representatives from Retail Birmingham BID highlight pieces of discarded gum, using fluorescent chalk, on the pavements of Birmingham's Union Passage, to support a national campaign to reduce gum litter. Now in its 10th year, the annual campaign sees representatives from the chewing gum industry, Government and environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy working with councils and Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) across the whole of the UK to develop local initiatives to reduce chewing gum litter.
One of the busiest streets in Birmingham has been transformed like never before, as part of a campaign launched by Retail Birmingham BID to reduce gum litter in the local area.
Partnering with The Chewing Gum Action Group (CGAG), an organisation chaired by Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) and funded by the chewing gum industry to tackle gum litter in the UK, an area of pavement on New Street near Union Passage was transformed with brightly-coloured circles to highlight the significant amount of gum that is dropped.
Representatives from the Retail Birmingham BID Clean Team took to New Street to circle every single piece of discarded gum in an area near Union Passage, using water soluble fluorescent chalk, and witnessed the public reaction to the eye-catching measle-like patterns created across one of the busiest streets in Birmingham. During the month of October, representatives will work together to remove the gum, making the streets cleaner and more attractive.
Supporting the campaign this year, Jonathan Cheetham, Chair of Retail Birmingham BID, said: "We want the people of Birmingham to feel immensely proud of where they live which is why we have partnered with the Chewing Gum Action Group this year to raise awareness and proactively tackle the issue of gum litter.
"Year on year, chewing gum litter is costly and difficult to remove, therefore we hope that this campaign will encourage gum chewers to bin their gum the right way and understand that they can play a part in making the city a more attractive place to live."
Now in its 10th year, the annual campaign sees representatives from the chewing gum industry, Government and environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy working with councils and Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) across the whole of the UK to develop local initiatives to reduce chewing gum litter.
CGAG campaign co-ordinator Kristian Bentham added: "Every year for the past 10 years, the Chewing Gum Action Group campaign has delivered some positive results. Through our creative campaign this year, we wanted to highlight that dropping gum is still littering and one that greatly affects the local area.
"We have no doubt this year's visual campaign will raise further awareness and have a lasting impact on residents and shoppers. We are delighted to be working with the Retail Birmingham BID this year to help them create a cleaner place to live and work."
Nine BIDs and local authorities from across the UK are taking part in this year's campaign.
Here's what happened when Chewing Gum Action Group transformed London's Oxford Street.

After writing that previously miserable post, I got to thinking. Whenever I have a free moment (which only seems to be between the hours of 11:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m.) I daydream about how kick ass the summer is going to be a) Sidelines will be strictly online, no print edition. woot woot. b) I won't spend 40+ hours a week in the mass comm building; seriously, I'm friends with the janitorial staff and I'm surprised the school isn't charging me rent, and c) FREEE TIME. omgz
There are a few things to look forward to. First and foremost, I'm going to be making a little road trip to Arkansas to visit my beloved friend Sam Walker. This trip is long overdue and he calls me at least 2-3 times a week to remind me of this fact. I need to get out of TN for a little while and what better place to go than...um...Arkansas. Yeeeah.
I'm taking a feature writing class in June and my favorite professor is teaching it. When I say he's my favorite, that's not an understatement. The man brings us cookies to class for godsakes. I'm just happy to finally be taking a class that will teach me how to write properly because I've been wingin it this past semester as the features editor.
BONNA-FREAKIN-ROO. nuff said.
Upright bass lessons with Quinton? Yessuh. No one believes that I used to play piano or any instrument for that matter. It's cool because neither do I.
Hopefully the list will grow and I will accomplish the things on said list.
In other news, I'm looking forward to next fall semester because I'm looking to get more involved on campus in a way that doesn't involve the paper. For starters, Raiders Against Animal Cruelty, MT Outdoor Pursuits, and TOMS shoes campus club are things I'm going to be getting into. I'm tired of not being allowed to join groups like these because it's a "conflict of interest." F that. I just wrote an article on TOMS and it got me really giddy, so much so that I bought another pair. The fact that I bought a pair of shoes for a child that needs them gives me immeasurable happiness. Plus, Oprah thinks they're the shiz, so obviously, everyone else should too.

Arroyo to call command conference
To assess military's internal security operations
MANILA, Philippines — President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will convene a command conference of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) leadership in Malacañang on Thursday evening to assess the military's internal security operations.
The AFP will report to Arroyo that it is on track to meet her 2010 deadline to defeat the communist insurgency, destroy Islamic extremist groups, and contain Moro rebels, said Lieutenant General Rodrigo Maclang, the deputy chief of staff.
Armed Forces chief of staff General Alexander Yano and top military officials are expected to attend the conference, including the heads of the major services: Army chief Lieutenant General Victor Ibrado, Navy chief Vice Admiral Ferdinand Golez, and outgoing Air Force chief Lieutenant General Pedrito Cadungog.
"The command conference will focus on the year-end AFP ISO [internal security operations] assessment. We are on track," Maclang said in a text message.
The closed-door conference is scheduled to start at 6 p.m.

I'm really slow on the posting of this but recently met up with one of my favourite artists, Duff Pearce. We had a good natter about art and drank lots of tea. He offered to help me print up one of my cuts on his old press in turn for helping him out in the studio once a week.
Got some pretty decent prints from the first run and now working on this new lino of a trawler. Learning how to frame next so hopefully some more photo's when I do.

I have tons of pictures from last Sunday shoot. Will post them bit by bit.
In Singapore, how do you normally go to Suntec City from the Bras Basah Complex?
- walk to Raffles City Shopping Mall since there is shelter underground, along North Bridge Road?
- or walk along Bras Basah Road ?
- by bus?
- via Purvis Street or Middle Road?
- from Seah Street, opposite Raffles Hotel Courtyard?
Seah Street
I like going by Seah Street. It is quieter than the main road and in a way a bit laid back from the hustle and bustle of Bras Basah Road, North Bridge Road or Beach Road. Love the architecture along the way. There are plenty of food stalls here.
By the way, overseas visitors, the Bras Basah Complex is a well-known place in Singapore for buying text books and other popular books, arts and craft supplies and other great stuff.
How to Get There
Till next time, just remember the old and new can co-exist together. Cheers!

Events happen.
No really.
A game filled with travel, and sights, and more travel, and lots of GM talking.
The party knew what would come next, but the GM got bogged down by the details – and yay the game went slowly.
The party discusses for a while whether or not they should execute Baryn. Maketa Seenaë Dyren, Sir Tirn of Selvos and Sir Kjarri of Setara spend some time praying on the subject. When Seenaë finishes praying, she notices that the knights are no longer in the temple. She goes outside to learn that the knights decided to execute the prisonner. The party then returns to the guest house. Most people get some sleep while Kjarri stays on guard.
The party has an evening meal with the delegation and guards. A nice time with light banter is had.
The negotiations go back and forth. There is talk of Prince Anaflas Milaka marrying the Earl of Tormau's niece. During the day, Seenaë checks in on the blacksmith and his family. The negotiations go on for three more days.
The recap: On a cold and windy winter night, our heroes tried to set up an ambush, assuming that the good doctor Matakea Torold Yisgaraen would be the killer's next target. They waited through the cold night, with Sir Tirn on patrol, Sir Kjarri in the guest house with the diplomats, and Tamarie in the attick of the physicianry. Nina stayed in the kitchen, while Matakea Seenae braved the night several times to walk alone. They thought the ambush might never come. No other priest or priestess was out and even the staff were keeping to the warmth rather than wandering alone. Suddenly, a scream shattered the night and all in the abbey rushed to Serolan Iblis Malaka's side. Her throat was cut, and she'd fallen just outside her office on the male residence's floor of the abbey. She had somehow managed to stay alive until help came. With Sir Tirn and Sir Kjarri's help, followed closely by Matakea Seenae and Torold's healing, the Serolan survived the night. But who attacked her? What will the party do next? Tune in next session to find out.
The party is stymied. So far, two have died (Mireala and Nemiral) and one's been poisoned (Gerin). The abbey folk are starting to talk, and few seem willing to go anywhere alone. Prayers have been offered up for Mireala and tomorrow masses will be held for Nemiral; but that is only the first step in the grieving that will come. They decide to question everyone in the abbey; a daunting task – but one they feel might turn up a clue. That and searching the place from top to bottom for a very sharp knife.
A second death brings chaos to the Abbey. Nimriel was merely an apprentice. Who would have such grief against him to murder him? The party is torn between the lack of physical evidence of the crime and the prophecy the other priests are muttering about.
Three peonians (who were left to die in the entombed Morgathian temple beneath the mortuary) also receive service. Can the party find the murderer?
Mirelael, having stayed with a newborn babe overnight, is believed to have gone off in the quiet of the dawn to perform her rounds in the village, but she has not been seen past Orhan of Lemra's house. The smith is quite upset over it and torn between finding the well-beloved woman who birthed his only child or staying with mother and newborn. Sir Tirn is acting as the delegation's bodyguard, and the orbaleese guards have reduced their number to 1 to match him. The other two have retired to the guest house to take their leisure. One guard (Kal) has gone with Sir Kjarri and eventually meets Seenae, Nina and Tamari at the Red Horse Inn.
With urgency, the party has been told to "get thee to Chendy" by their Prince. It would seem the location for the negotiations has been set. While the Prince is interested in at least hearing out the plans of Kanday's northern neighbors, the King has yet to proclaim his support for the rebellion in Rethem; for that is exactly what Earl Denyl Lynnaeus proposes – to overthrow his king and put the rightful heirs on the throne; bypassing both the Morgathian support for the crown and the Agrikan defenders of the King.

I'm going to still try to get to those 4x5 scans this week, but I am also trying to revamp/reedit/pump some life into the website. Maybe some blog images will make it over there. I've just been shooting a bunch again with my Lumix, got bored with it for a few weeks but I'm having fun with it again. It's been a crazy few weeks between moving and the holidays but I'm hoping that I can start keeping up the posts. We've been doing a ton of walks this week, most of these images are from them. Where we live now is next to a massive park, endless loops of trails in there. I've missed having relaxing walks right out my door. Happy that they are back.
Last few posts I made were so stretched out in the editing that I end up cutting a lot. I kind of like making more spontaneous posts. Just throwing up my favorites from the week. If I wait to long on posting the images I end up making way to hard of an edit and I think the blog looses some of journal qualities.
Did a job a little while ago with Mr. Embry Rucker down near his home turf in SD. I worked with him years ago in NYC and have started working him out here on a pretty regular basis. One of my favorite people I've got to know since moving out here, also one of my favorite photographers to work for and its not 'cause he likes guns, I promise.

Quite a few blogs back I talked about our trip to the Minack when Uncle Bill, Deborah and Suzannah were here at Christmas....and it came to me how I felt about the coastline about a mile either side of the Minack..
'If I were a Salmon... this is where I'd be heading..'
This was the inspiration for this layout using some papers Linda asked us to work with in the Christmas break... well 3 months later is just about on time for me, being punctual and that!

How they change!
I wasn't that happy with the stuff I did on Saturday, but when I got home I was dead beat, cold and then hot and very grateful for the chip van which comes to the village on a Saturday. Normally I get my sensible head on, for just a token moment, before I succomb to easy-tea, but this weekend it was me shouting 'Chip Saturday' from the sofa.
Thought I was sickening for something, but asleep by 10 and a lie in on Mother's Day and I was raring to go again.. well, maybe not rarng, but happy to wander around St Ives for a couple of hours looking for the last minute bits for our holiday.(missed the surf gear sales by about a month I reckon.. bah!)
I found this set of photos and thought it was about time I laid them out...they were taken at a quarry near Delabole where our friends were staying in a teepee, back in October 2008.
Frans has always introduced our kids to some fun activities... camp fires, very traditional camping on Bryher and this time we went boating in the quarry and got to see the teepee and ate fish on a camp fire.
Kate has certainly rown up in the last 18 months.. but I guess they do between 11 and 13 don't they, and she's had a few growing up experiences in that time too!

'Hair by Bill'!
At Christmas when Uncle Bill was here, playing official paparazzi we ran a slide show of the best pictures and were amazed at all the images of Kate's hair, in it's various formats! Hair by Bill I thought!
Ever since she was a little kid she's loved changing her hair styles, though today it is generally straightened and she bemoans the thickness and sheer volume of hair she has.
As a toddler it was curly and a gingery blonde but now just great shades of blonde.
I did this layout using an invisibles page and Star and heart masks on saturday. the photo isn't the best, probably better on Linda's site (when she gets to it)

How big is your mouth?
.... I'm having trouble working out why a piece of Chunky KitKat seems to be massive in your mouth, but when you're at the dentist it seems there's a couple of hands and various sucking / drilling tools and a folded up tongue in there...
... never had my mouth open so long and not made a noise!
And how come our generation spent years of child-rearing encouraging our kids to drink 'Sugar Free' for the sake of their teeth, only to have it all sent down the pan by an all-be-it-very-successful campaign by the powers that own CocaCola / Schweppes etc that has rendered the teens of today slaves to the 'energy drink'
Grumbly old Woman or what!
You know what I need? A day scrapping.. and I get it tomorrow, not even planned anything yet, going off the cuff / al fresco / al dente / commando.. whatever they call it!! (No, I know it's not one of those!)

Proud mum..
(.. quietly though).. my big girl let me know today that she has banked 'A' and 'B' grades in her Business & Economics 'A' levels and is heading the same way later this year for her Maths.
Pretty damn good for self-taught and all the while working, being poorly, having a baby and all the trials and tribulations that we went through..

..I had a brochure today from the Daphne duMaurier Festival, held every May in Fowey. and they have a couple of sessions for people who want to write their autobiography.. .. sounds like a fun idea, then you think about all the odds and sods you find nostalgic and sweet and realise that whilst they are fondly remembered yourself, they are to others, just that..odds and sods of a single existence.
My Mum & step-dad had friends once who ran a Children's Home, came to Mousehole shark fishing with Phil, and had met a lot of people along the way...he and Phil laughed about so many stories, and the guy said he would one day write them down in a book.. called 'Words Fail Me' I often think of it, and I'm sure if he were here today, in the 21st century with all it's red tape and political correctness he would have several more volumes to add!

My Col came up with a great title for his own book if he were to write it...and for those who know him, (now or have known him when he worked as a diver or with all things marine and engineering), I'm sure you'd see the double meaning in 'In Too Deep'
He doesn't do much in halves and throws himself in deep to discover all he needs to know about something. I guess a few times he has found himself up to his neck in smelly stuff, whether that's the real stuff working on a sewer outfall or some grim ship off India, or just promising the world to a customer, but only being able to deliver the odd continent or two!And as for taking on me and two kids, he certainly had his hands full, but as always with a big smile and a positive head-on he ploughed on and made things happen... even if much later he admitted that the one thing he had underestimated was the dog!
Anyways, back to the festival... we've been a couple of times, but to see the least literary of the events.. one year Al Murray and another year Suzi Quatro...well creative in their own rights I guess and using 'Literary Festival' in its broadest sense maybe. Suzi was so good, I think she'd just turned 60, still a big personality in a small package. Col's Dad said his face hurt from smiling so much, it was a good night!
This year the Stranglers are the token 'pop' offering, but not sure if we'll go.
As for biographies, one of my 'jobs to do' entails deciphering lots of pencil written notes in a note book, written by my Mum's Dad when he was in Africa during the First World War. he was a teacher and thinker by nature and must have found it hard to go to war, some of the bits I have read so far make me think of the Tom Hanks character from Private Ryan.

All grown up!
A good day today, nothing spectacular to report, but just did lots of things, ticked a pleasurable number of boxes, and just kind of 'had a good day'.
Kate turned 13 today, so effectively we have now ushered all our children into teenage-hood and beyond.
She is such a 'girl' it was actually quite satisfying to indulge that with a glam bag and lots of bits and bobs for our holiday, everything from Beuno Eggs (very nice) and silly string and eyeliner and bangles. She spent the day with her girlie pals, they are here 'sleeping over' and we had Indian for tea...an easy day on all of us!
JB and I did town this morning, met some faces from my past..(dear Jordan she waited patiently while we gassed... Col and Zac said she should have taken a small fold out chair and an interesting book for such occasions) Out of the blue we met a friend from when Ross & Lisa were young, it was lovely to hear news of her children and also to commiserate with each other about the way our late 40's seems to have heralded an era of caring for our loved ones, and how this is not always an easy transition or a state we have found comfortable. Despite not spending time together for almost 18 years, we slipped easily into mutual chat, I love that, it's what's nice about living where you belong.. seeing people out of the blue who have shared a bit of your history, no matter how recent or long ago.
Then I met a cousin, I grew up with him, know the names of Chelsea football players of the 60's and 70's because of him, saw him every day for 12 years, but we have barely spent an hour together in the last 35 years. But again, the comfort I think we shared in 'knowing' each other was almost palpable.
With me turning 50 this year and Zac coming up 18, it's quite a year really, makes you contemplate your ageing! Reading a magazine this afternoon, lots of guff about the ageing process, another dig in my ribs that I should eat healthier and do more active things.. surely eating dark chocolate and still meeting Col across a double mattress at least the average amount of times a week is enough?.. well maybe to celebrate my 50th I'll start in earnest.. and they did offer a few yoga exercises you can do in bed.. now there's a place to start!
One thought..... there are few people who would give up the experience, perspective & maturity age has given them for the sake of a younger fitter, body. What we want is the wisdom without the wilting, which is like having your cake & eating it, without even the bother of baking it first.
....mmmm...JB and I made chocolate fudge cake and I made a big apple crumble, so I guess I have done my share of the baking, trouble is I often eat MORE than my share too!

Sister layout.
This is the almost finished product.. just a bit of journalling to add.. hey, maybe I should just reprint my blog below? Used some green rickrack braid, always a favourite of Auntie's when she made me dresses for Sunday School Anniversary!!
I did the page as part of a double spread, accompanying a Fashion Disaster page I did for Linda's challenge. Good old Cuttlebug for the labels with hearts, and plenty of bronze ink to distress and vintage it, Linda would be proud!
It was good looking up 'sister quotes', some are really quite fitting, makes you realise how history repeats itself, even skipping a generation now and then! In Mum's day I guess she was the 'dancer', the two marriages and children, whilst her sister watched, but today Kate is literally the dancer in our family, but I think Jordan would be found with her head in a book or drawing, rather than simply 'watching' !!

... seems to be a good way to make the day pass faster! Dear Col has a huge drive this week, he left here yesterday, towing a trailer with a big roll handling unit on it, to be in London early this morning. So far he has already had the van broken into (nothing taken.. he lived too long in Liverpool area to make anything that available!), seen two customers and is heading for the far east of the country, before wending his way home... via Manchester and Leeds!.
Back here I was checking our banking and asked him about a Credit Card payment as we have had our cards used fraudulently a few times before. I said to him that 'I don't want to appear controlling but...' and he laughed out loud.... and for quite a long time.... by which time (luckily) I had joined in..'...oh, if you're worrying about appearing controlling, then you're way too late!'
So, there's no hope for me.. or you if you want to use my card un-noticed! xxx

Annals of Internal Medicine marks 90th anniversary
Annals of Internal Medicine celebrates its 90th anniversary starting with a letter to mark the event.
This month, ACP's premier peer-reviewed medical journal, Annals of Internal Medicine, celebrates its 90th anniversary. ACP launched Annals in July of 1927 as a monthly print journal and now publishes online weekly while providing an archived print edition twice monthly. Annals ranks 5th among the 154 general medicine journals and higher than any specialty journal in Clarivate Analytics' General and Internal Medicine category.
Editor-in-Chief Christine Laine, MD, MPH, FACP, invited George D. Lundberg, MD, MedScape Editor-at-Large and former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association, to pen a letter to mark the anniversary. Dr. Lundberg notes Annals' staying power, dedication to ethical medical journalology and continued success in his letter, which was published online July 4.
The celebration of this milestone will continue throughout the year at Annals.org.

Oh this birthday bash keeps getting better, no? If you've missed what's going on, after a little break and a big move over to a new platform, we're celebrating a little delightful's 4th birthday with four awesome giveaways. Head on over here to see birthday bash day 1 and 2.
Today's AMAZING giveaway is from the fabulous Tiger Tribe!
Tiger Tribe is the brainchild of husband and wife Naomi and Anthony Green, mum and dad to two beautiful kiddos. Together with a team of talented designers, illustrators and product innovators, they design and develop products for children that both entertain and educate and allow children to use their creativity and imagination. Their range of beautiful products is ever growing, with magnetic play cases, stamps, sticker books, dolls, wooden toys, hanging mobiles and more. They are also the proud exclusive distributors for some beautiful brands from overseas such as Quut, Petite Collage, Kid O and Boxset.
We don't travel without their Magna Play Cases and Piccolo ColourSets. The colouring sets live in a basket in our car so they're always out with us if we pop into a cafe for lunch or get stuck waiting at the doctors office for too long! Their washable colouring books are also amazing and a favourite of ours. We were recently away on holiday in Sydney and Melbourne and popped our colour sets in the bottom of the pram, making it easy for the kids to whip them out whenever they felt the need! Like maybe while waiting outside a pop up market down a small street in trendy Melbourne?! My own little street artist! Haha.
These absolutely gorgeous wooden animals are actually pieces to the Safari Jumble puzzle but until Owen's older they will just look ever so cute chilling out in his nursery. Tiger Tribe also have a Forest Jumble version with a cute bear and an owl!
We have also recently gotten into floor puzzles and this one is by far our favourite!! The illustrations are just gorgeous! The pieces are the perfect size for young kids – not too big and not too small!
When I asked Tiger Tribe if they'd like to giveaway some pressies to one of my readers they asked me what products I was thinking of. I rattled off many of the products we own and love and said "any of those would be amazing!" and they came back with "how about all"! I may have squealed a little bit. Or a lot!
So you lucky ducks you, who ever gets this AHMAZING prize will receive one of everything pictured below!
The Tiger Tribe Pack consists of
1. 1x Magna Play Case – Treasure Island

Pretty slick, eh?

I'm not a big fan of playing with images but that, black and white backgrou, full colour subject could change my mind. I particularly like the Cub. Something about it being a piece of B&W history but still living and flying today in full colourReplyDelete

Would it be offensive to say that your gimp is improving. Certainly the quality of your photo enhancements is excellent. I come to your blog a couple of times a week to get my flying fix and really like the writing style .ReplyDelete
"Would it be offensive to say that your gimp is improving."ReplyDelete
LOL, no, not at all, but I might take just a little offense if you said it wasn't! :-)
these look amazing!! I was never a huge fan of coloring parts of b&w photos either, but there's something kinda fun about it! Plus some turn out to look pretty cool :) I love the Cub photo!ReplyDelete

So - today we headed out to use our Children's Museum membership to get a discount on a zoo membership.
Just in time - in one week, Mikaela and I will begin our 20 week animal unit study in Science.
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day!
Pink flamingos - we started our zoo scavenger hunt (part of our homeschool science lesson) with the pink flamingos - we're still wondering why they stand on one leg?

Finally, finally, finally, the weather has cooled down. This morning my sister told me to stick my head out the door, the air is actually cold! And it WAS!
This whole day was amazing. I wasn't blasted in the face with a heatwave the moment I walked out the door or entered my car. Crisp, cool breeze, so refreshing and invigorating. I was driving home from school and the air was so fresh and cold and the moon was shining and the last strands of sunset were on the horizon and my heart felt so full I thought I was going to float out of my vehicle.
The forecasters got it right for once, they said we'd have a low of 67 F on Wednesday and they were right! Gold stars and cupcakes all around.
So…I dressed to workout but didn't officially work out, although my legs are screaming like I did. I did, technically. Walking is a pretty good workout in and of itself, and at college I walk A LOT, but I still need to get back on track, yo.
Almost got hit while crossing the street by a driver who was trying to make a right turn. Is it "pedestrian," "right," or "way" that they don't understand?
Managed to fit 4 days worth of clothing in one carry-on using the tried and true "whole is more than the sum of it's parts" method. I have two outfits technically in the carry-on, and one outfit of clothing will be on my person, of course. Monday will consist of an amalgam of clothing worn on either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. (With the exception of undergarments, of course. Doy.)
Still need to find some playing cards. 48 hours and some change until IlmFest!

Etihad Airways has won four titles at the annual World Travel Awards ceremony for the Middle East, including the title as the Middle East's Leading Airline. The ceremony took place at the Armani Hotel Dubai in the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. The Abu Dhabi-based airline also received the Middle East's Leading Airline First Class award, Middle East's Leading Cabin Staff award and Middle East's Leading Airline In-flight Entertainment award.
Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways' chief commercial officer, said: "It is truly an honor to win Leading Airline for the Middle East. Our home market is extremely important to Etihad, so I am especially pleased to be recognized by our guests and peers from the region in this way.
The award for Middle East's Leading First Class Airline recognizes Etihad's Diamond First class suites, which feature a luxurious Poltrona Frau leather seat that converts to a fully flat bed, a large wood-finished table, Arabic-styled sliding doors offering complete privacy, a 23-inch personal entertainment screen, a personal wardrobe with mirror, and four individual lighting options with dimmers, in-seat power points and USBs.
The First class cabin also includes a spacious and comfortable changing room. The "Inspired Service" concept was a key reason behind Etihad winning the title of Middle East's Leading Cabin Staff. Etihad's state-of-the art e-box on-demand system won the Middle East's Leading In-flight Entertainment.
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, also launched its new premium travel service portfolio "Premium Connect" and signed a memorandum of understanding with Abu Dhabi-based Royal Jet, the Middle East's award-winning international luxury private charter service provider at the recent Arabian Travel Market in Dubai.
In a move to support the Tunisian tourism industry and to provide passengers with more flexible travel options, Emirates has launched an additional weekly flight between Dubai and Tunis. Emirates, one of the fastest growing airlines in the world, will now operate four flights per week to Tunis from its hub in Dubai.
"Emirates is committed to offering its customers the best travel experience on the market and now customers in Tunisia have even more convenient access to our network of over 110 global destinations," said Jean Luc Grillet, The carrier's SVP for commercial operations for Africa.
Currently, Emirates' flights to Tunis are served by an Airbus A330-200 aircraft offering 237 seats in a three-class configuration: 12 First Class suites, 42 Business Class and 183 Economy Class seats. Emirates currently operates 15 A380s on the following routes: Jeddah, London Heathrow, Manchester, New York, Paris, Sydney, Auckland, Toronto, Bangkok, Seoul, and Hong Kong and Beijing and Shanghai.
Emirates airline operates a fleet of 152 wide-body Airbus and Boeing aircraft to 111 destinations in 66 countries and has placed orders for an additional 200 aircraft, worth more than $68 billion.
Qatar Airways is to significantly increase flights to Saudi Arabia with the introduction of a fourth destination and additional services to existing markets, representing a 71 percent rise in frequency. Madinah becomes the Doha-based airline's newest destination in the Kingdom with four-flights-a-week, beginning July 14. The Doha-Madinah route will be operated non-stop with an Airbus A320 in a two-class configuration of 12 seats in First Class and 132 in Economy.
The new route launch is in addition to increased capacity to Saudi Arabia's two largest cities – Riyadh and Jeddah, which will each see their daily services rise to double daily, effective June 1. Riyadh sits in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula and is one of Saudi Arabia's fastest growing cities. Jeddah is also the main entry point for pilgrims making the Haj pilgrimage to Makkah and Madinah. Also from June 1, Dammam will see capacity increase from the current 21 flights a week to 28.
The capacity increases help facilitate the growing religious tourism industry in Saudi Arabia. And the extra frequencies provide added convenience for both business and leisure travelers, offering greater connectivity to an array of international destinations the airline serves, Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al-Baker said. The airline also announced a further expansion of its international route network with Uganda, Azerbaijan and Georgia joining its ever-growing list of countries served direct from its Doha hub.
Qatar Airways has also announced that its corporate jet division, Qatar Executive, will add three new Bombardier aircraft to its fleet starting from later this month. Forging ahead to meet the growing demand for business jet services from the Middle East and globally, the carrier has swiftly taken measures to increase its fleet capacity to cater to the surge in private travel in the region and worldwide.

MARK COLVIN: The West Australian Government has promised to continue supporting the state's only Aboriginal court despite evidence that it is not working.
The Kalgoorlie Community Court is less formal than the mainstream court. It involves a magistrate sitting with the offender, their family, elders and often victims. The proceedings are in plain English, with the aim of providing a culturally appropriate sentence.
But a review says there's been a much higher rate of re-offending by juveniles dealt with by the community court. The review also found that adults re-offended at a higher rate.
The results are a serious blow for those who've been advocating 'culturally sensitive' measures.
David Weber reports.
DAVID WEBER: The independent review found that people being dealt with by the Community Court were at a greater risk of re-offending than those in the mainstream system.
Western Australia's Attorney-General, Christian Porter.
CHRISTIAN PORTER: You would like to see the Aboriginal offenders who are sentenced in that court who would have otherwise been sentenced in the mainstream Magistrates' Court statistically demonstrating a reduced rate of re-offending compared to comparative offenders in the mainstream Magistrate's Court. At the moment, we can't say that that's happened.
DAVID WEBER: About 88 per cent of juveniles dealt with by the Community Court committed further crimes, compared to 67 per cent of those who were in the Children's' Court.
For adults 79 per cent re-offended, compared to 71 per cent of those dealt with by the Magistrate's Court.
Christian Porter.
CHRISTIAN PORTER: The more culturally sensitive sentencing has actually meant that the offenders are more likely to return to the court than they would've been if they'd experienced the sort of more mainstream sentencing that occurs in the Magistrate's Court as it usually operates. What we want to do is reverse that trend. But in and of itself, culturally sensitive sentencing with nothing more hasn't worked.
DAVID WEBER: In its response, the Aboriginal Legal service has called for the Government to take seriously the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody. The acting CEO of the service, John Bedford.
JOHN BEDFORD: It's really, really important that they get that right because there are other social problems that need to be addressed, not just the court itself but having a look at all those problems which, which contribute towards the disadvantages of people today.
DAVID WEBER: The ALS in its statement says the ongoing success of the Community Court system will depend on the Government working harder towards improving social and economic circumstances of Aboriginal people- but wasn't the Community Court approach an attempt to do just that and hasn't it failed?
JOHN BEDFORD: I don't think it's failed at all. I think there are some positives that, that have come out of it.
DAVID WEBER: But more people are re-offending.
JOHN BEDFORD: I think there are other, there are other factors that need to be looked at. It can be a success. And that's what we've got to try and focus in on.
DAVID WEBER: That this should continue in the face of what seems to be pretty poor statistics.
JOHN BEDFORD: No, we don't view them as pretty poor statistics. I mean there's some things that have been identified in the report and they need to be worked on and I think that the Attorney General has identified those and is making some effort in trying to address those.
DAVID WEBER: You don't think an 88 per cent recidivism rate among juveniles is a poor statistic?
JOHN BEDFORD: I don't think that that should be judged alone. I think there's other factors involved here.
DAVID WEBER: Like what?
JOHN BEDFORD: Well, I mean you've got to take into account the circumstances of Aboriginal people. I mean the injustices, I guess, that, that have happened along the way and some of the social disadvantages. I mean those sorts of things have got to be addressed and, and I think we're working towards them.
JOHN WEBER: But the bottom line is the mainstream system, the mainstream justice system is reducing crime to an extent that the Community Court is not.
JOHN BEDFORD: Well, I just think that that, the, the Attorney General has made some statements this morning in trying to address those and we agree with them and we will work towards sort of improving that, the Bush courts.

According to recently published research findings, nursing home staffing patterns and admission trends are some of the most important factors driving residents' quality-of-life over time. For nursing homes that show declining or mixed results in quality-of-life measures over time, increasing staff activity hours seem to make a significant positive difference. In nursing homes that are already improving on quality-of-life indicators, registered nurse hours per resident has a positive association with quality-of-life. Researchers believe that higher-performing facilities may be more adept at engaging RNs with residents on a personal level and that these facilities may also have a higher number of RN hours to begin, allowing nurses to facilitate activities and engagement on a greater extent. On the other hand, declining facilities were associated with more acute resident populations, suggesting a "decreasing capacity to handle more severe case mix over time."

Slow but steady wins the race...
I have been sick having a horrible reaction to my medication...so I've been planning but mostly just sleeping.
Today I went out in the pouring rain to buy 65 cans of vegetables for the shelter. I didn't even feel the rain. I wish I could make a living doing stuff like this. I wish I felt well enough to work all the time period. I'm also working on getting coupons together for our cookie baking party for at risk kids, and waiting to meet up with someone who is donating more stuff for the shelter. Today is a great day. I may not be up to par, but I'm giving what I can.
I always wish I could do more. Being trapped in a sick body can be so frustrating...when you want to do so much and are able do only give a little at a time.

text: Now that I'm not traveling as much anymore, my decision about which airline to fly on is primarily based on cost so I will likely be flying WN a lot more now. I'm on a PIT-PHX flight tomorrow and have seat C1. I was wondering what the chances are of getting an aisle with this seat? What about a window seat? I don't care where I sit (wrt row) and actually like to sit in the back of the plane but I don't think I could stand a middle seat for a 5 hour flight. Do you know of anyone ever paying anyone to move up in boarding group? Would WN allow it?

½ cup Grated sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup Flour, part for rolling
Cayenne pepper
2 tbsp Margarine or butter
2 tbsp Water
¼ tsp Salt
Mix all together in a bowl. Original directions suggested shaping into a roll 1 ½ inch wide, chilling at least 2 hours wrapped in wax paper and cutting in thin slices to make 1 dozen or more crackers. This would produce neatly shaped crackers, possibly thicker than desired. By rolling very thin, this amount of dough will make small crackers about ½ inch apart to cover 1 ½ small cookie sheets. They do puff up while baking. May be cut quickly in random small shapes with a plastic knife. Suggested toppings coarse salt (made them too salty), garlic salt, celery salt, curry powder, or freshly ground black pepper. If the dough is very dry after rolling, brush tops with water before salting. If it is soft, sprinkle lightly and press the salt into the crackers. Bake 5 minutes at 425 F or until browned.

2nd Place.
Hey everybody. I just picked up the Memphis Flyer and found that we were awarded 2nd place in their readers poll for Best Memphis Blogger. I find it ironic that Thad Matthews was voted 3rd! I know many devoted readers do not like Thad and I have issues with some of his postings, but he had a minor role in this blog's creation. Ok, don't stop reading now.
Before this blog was started, I never really new what a blog was or how to operate one. After hearing all of the drama surrounding Thad at the beginning of the year, I went and checked out his blog. I then took it upon myself to learn about blogging and created the MPD Enforcer 2.0.
As most of you old heads are aware, the original Enforcer was hosted on Geocities back in the 90's. The old Enforcer kind of fade away and gave birth to this "2.0" version.
I guess this is my acceptance speech, since I didn't appear last night at the awards party. A big thanks goes out to the original Enforcer crew and the idiots on the 12th floor for giving us fodder. Thank you as well to the men and women that serve along side me everyday. Finally, thanks again to the readers and voters in the Memphis Flyer's Best of Memphis. Dirk.

"Throughout our history, this nation has sought to uphold the ideals of our founding – that all are created equal and endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Today, with the passage of federal hate crimes legislation, we have affirmed these ideals and the inclusiveness that our nation stands for by extending the protection of its laws to all: 'one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.'
All Americans have a fundamental right to feel safe in their communities. This legislation will help protect Americans against violence based on sexual orientation, race, religion, gender, national origin, disability, or gender identity. Congress has been debating federal hate crimes legislation for 17 years. It was more than 10 years ago that Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered. The time for debate is long over.

Husband finishes in fourth
Out of the 10 Newmarket Cycling & Triathlon Club members that headed for Norwich's Sprint Triathlon, Eugene Husband was out in front.
Husband, who won his age group, was in fourth place overall in a time of one hour and six minutes.
Next home was Jane-Paterson Todd (1.16) as the sixth lady overall, followed by Linda Hones (1.24), Julie Burken (1.28) and Kate Godfrey (1.29).
In the Standard Distance, Gareth Godfrey — racing for the first time this year — finished in 2.18.
Further afield, Liz Bennett competed in the Ironman European Championships in Frankfurt in very humid conditions, finishing in a very respectable time of 14 hours.
Also overseas was Mark Gibbs, who completed his first ironman in Sweden in five hours and 38 minutes.
Meanwhile, Eliot Bentley, Lee Dickinson, David Green and Jose Garcia were the first team home in the Barrow Challenge Relay.

Paris Saint-Germain's bid to retain the Ligue 1 title will be boosted by the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic when the leaders travel to Nantes on Sunday.
Sweden striker Ibrahimovic was slapped with a three-match ban in April for a foul-mouthed rant about referee Lionel Jaffredo in the aftermath of PSG's 3-2 defeat at Bordeaux in March.
However, Ibrahimovic has served his punishment and PSG's top scorer will now hope to score the goals to fire the champions to a third consecutive league title in the final four league matches.
Coach Laurent Blanc may have a dilemma on his hands, though, considering PSG have scored 12 goals in their three league victories during Ibrahimovic's absence.
One of the main beneficiaries has been Uruguay international Edinson Cavani, who has netted four times in that period, while Ezequiel Lavezzi scored a hat-trick in the 6-1 battering of Lille last weekend.
Another player flourishing for PSG is Javier Pastore, who produced three assists in a comfortable 3-1 triumph over Metz on Tuesday which ensured the champions have won five Ligue 1 games in a row.
The Argentine midfielder believes that the credit for the team's current form rests with Blanc.
"We all have a very good relationship with him," Pastore told Surface magazine. "Personally, I'm very happy. Instead of criticising Laurent Blanc we should congratulate him for all the achievements to date."
On the reasons for his own superb form, which led to Manchester United great Eric Cantona labelling him as the best player in the world, he added: "This season, for the first time since I arrived at PSG, I could perform a complete physical preparation before the start of the season.
"The fact that I feel perfectly fine physically helps me play my football."
The decision on whether to select Ibrahimovic is sure to give Blanc a welcome headache, and the former Barcelona striker was pivotal to PSG's success in December's reverse league fixture as he scored both goals in a 2-1 victory.
Recent history also suggests that PSG, who are three points clear of second-placed Lyon, should have little problem overcoming Michel Der Zakarian's men at the Stade de la Beaujoire with Nantes' last victory over the capital club coming in October 2004.
Such is the tight nature of Ligue 1 this term, 10th-placed Nantes are not yet mathematically sure of survival.
But a 1-0 victory over Marseille and a 1-1 draw at Toulouse last weekend has left them seven points clear of the bottom three.
