Tid Bits
Below you will find rules of thumb, hints of politeness you can extend to your fellow human beings and interpretations of moments in life that may be gentler than those you are currently using.
1. If you are staying in a family member's home and they must go to work, do not try to chat them up in the morning. In fact, stay in your room and pretend to sleep in.
2. If you must go….I mean, you've gots to go!!!, do not use your poor planning as an excuse to use the empty handicapped stall. Many lovely folks I know would not DREAM of parking in a capper spot simply because they were running late but do not hesitate to use the capper stall. Don't do it people!! It is wrong!
3. If you borrow something and have lost it, own up and buy a replacement.
4. If you make a mess, clean it up.
5. Allow people to be other than happy. It's okay. It really is.
6. If you need time alone, take it. You're not doing anyone any favors by hanging around when you need to refuel.
7. "Needing time alone" does not equate to "needing time away from you." Don't make that assumption.
8. When someone is reading, they are doing something. Please note that before interrupting.
9. Be gentle with yourself. I mean it. Be gentle! You make a concerted effort to be gentle with other people, why not extend that courtesy to yourself?
10. Being gentle on other people does not include handling them so softly that they run you over. Regardless of their mental state, it is not you job to soothe others at the cost of yourself. Stand up and be firm. You're allowed.
11. Apologize when you're an ass. Note when others are asses and don't pretend they weren't. When you watch Deal or No Deal, note that all of those women, dressed exactly the same, used a objects of desire to open other objects of desire is ass. Tell your sons, "That's ass." It's okay if they're two years old. They still need to know that is indeed, ass.
12. Take your vitamins.
If you have tid bits that may be helpful to others, please add them to the comments section of this post.
Thanks all.

The average mobster dies as they live. Faolan O'Connor, however, finds new life after he dies.
Faolan O'Connor spent his life killing for men like Legs Diamond and Lucky Luciano, and now it's his turn to face the music. But when vampire Darcy Killian offers him immortality, Faolan enters a world of violence, wealth, and power beyond anything he's ever imagined.
Driven by ambition and guilt, Faolan fights his way up the ranks in a battle to justify his sins with success. He's learned the hard way that relationships are vulnerabilities and friends are just enemies in disguise, but he also knows that he can't conquer a city alone.
Aided by an emotionally-crippled genius and a warm-hearted call girl, Faolan builds a loyal crew with which to challenge the tyrannical Killian's rule. However, will this re-awakened humanity prove a fatal flaw or his ace in the hole? With his life…

text: CZ 2075 Rami I did a lot of research and I was fairly certain that for home defense, the Glock 19 was the gun I wanted. I like the size, and the weight. I don't feel bad about the trade-off between 9 mm and .40 which is a valid consideration, especially if you're liable to be confronted with a defense scenario. Also, Glock is super reliable, and there is soooooo much information about those guns! Accessories are cheap too! But still, there are a ton of haters and something I've noticed, is that nobody talks badly about CZ guns. I wanted to spend around $450 for a gun that I could shoot straight, was reliable and held it's value. I found several Glock-police trade-ins for around what I wanted to spend and they were understandably worn. I was open to a 19, 23 or 26, 27. My uncle has a 19 and a 27, so I've been able to shoot them and they were rather pleasant to shoot. While trolling the locals, I happened upon a used CZ RAMI in 9 mm at my local broker. It was very similar to a G26 but is hammer fired rather than striker fired. It is also a metal gun. No gunsmith meant that the used gun had been visually inspected and was guaranteed to function. Luckily, the original owner of the RAMI had purchased it from the shop. He'd decided it wasn't for him and brought back everything but the plastic 'training' bullets, which are included apparently. The Glock was missing a historical record. I bought the RAMI. The RAMI is more ergonomic than the G19. It fits the hand rather well. It weighs more than the 19 as well, which might deter some from carrying it. I drove straight to the range and I must say that the gun shoots like a G26, but it feels better to hold. It will half cock and offers SA and DA as well as a big fat red safety dot. The Glock does not include this feature. I wouldn't feel as comfortable dragging this gun in the mud before firing as I would the Glock, but realistically, I don't keep any mud in my house or truck. As a novice shooter, my groups were tight for quick shots(center mass-ish). When I took the time to aim, this gun was stupid accurate at 25 yards. I wish my house was big enough to warrant training at longer than 25 yards, but. . . no, I have a modest home. The magazines for the CZ are more expensive than the Glock mags. Bummer! They are also just tougher to load, so if you're shooting for fun, that is something to consider. The RAMI is pleasant to look at, and a good shooter. Don't hesitate to ask questions.

Is your garden winter ready?
Yesterday, I laid cardboard over a bare patch in the herb garden. The idea is to stop weeds seeding there over winter.
Last year, I put compost over cardboard in another area and ended up with a mini field of chard, which was great as a one-off. I'm not keen on the herb garden transforming into a chard garden, no doubt peppered with rocket, next year, so I will forego the temptation to mulch this time round. Unless it is with something guaranteed weed-free, like coffee grounds.
Now, that actually might be a good idea. The cardboard-covered hugel bed does need a nitrogen boost, considering that the wood, which I hope is decomposing, might still be drawing nitrogen from the soil. For the time being, though, I think I will continue to use the grounds on the garlic hugel bed instead.

I spend too much time counting time. I count the seconds as I watch or play or walk or try to keep myself alive a little longer. I have wasted too much time counting; I know how to count. I have always known how to count but once I did not know the names of the numbers.

A while back we started buying cows. Well, chunks of a cow nicely butchered and vaccu-sealed. We're not big meat eaters, but I wanted to start eating a better quality meat when we did indulge. So we locally sourced some wonderful grass-fed beef and have loved every bite.
The one problem we have is the 30-40# of ground chuck in the order. Again, we're not big meat eaters so it's hard to plow through, even over the course of the 12-18 months it takes us to eat a 1/4 of a cow.
Enter the Sloppy Joe.
Hamburger was kind of a way of life for us growing up, and I ate my fair share of tomato-y sweet Sloppy Joes. As a young adult I became vegetarian, and later, I sought more exciting foods than good old American comfort foods. So what some would consider staple of the American home fell to the wayside for me. Yet, as soon as I got pregnant, it was nothing but meatloaf and mashed potatoes. And I once again met with the Sloppy Joe.
I like this version because not only is it super easy, it doesn't rely on a pre-packaged spice mix. I also add in shredded carrot and chopped spinach when I want a more rounded tasting sandwich. Don't skip the browning in the first step–I did once and ended up with a gloopy mess, not a nice crumbled meat texture. Serve on toasted buns and enjoy a tastier version of a childhood favorite.
Slow Sloppy Joes
Ingredients: (makes 6 generous sandwiches)
- 1# ground beef
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (fire roasted if you can find them)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce*
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot (optional)
- 1 cup spinach leaves, chopped (optional)
- Sandwich buns for serving
- Heat 1-2 teaspoons of canola oil in a large skillet on medium-high. Add beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the beef to a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Stir in remaining ingredients, except the rolls. Cover and cook 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. Sauce will thicken as it cooks.
- Spoon over buns and enjoy. Don't forget the napkins.

An animal keeper of the Budapest Zoo feeds a moon-jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) with a syringe containing brine shrimp during an experimental program to display these extremely sensitive animals in Budapest, Hungary.
The body of the moon-jellyfish, found in tropical waters, is composed of 95 percent water and it can grow to a diameter of 40 cm (16 inch).
Keeping these animals is very difficult as their bodies are very fragile and can be harmed even by bubbles of air. Because of this sensitivity and the difficulties of reproducing oceanic conditions in the zoo, the moon-jellyfish have to be fed individually.

As a young adult librarian I would be responsible for putting programs together for the community's youth. Not all of those programs are going to relate to reading. For that reason I wold like to explore a question that can relate to future programs to be run that would engage the young adult community.
Question: I want to get young adults interested in yoga as a means of relaxation and exercise that can be fun at the same time. Any articles on how to do this?
My facets are going to be: yoga, young adult, exercise, and fun.
Initial terms:
Yoga: X
Young Adult: Youth, Adolescent, Teenager
Exercise: X
Fun: Fulfillment, Enjoyment, enjoyable, enrichment, recreation
Now, I'm going to take my brainstorming to the WorldCat Database:
WorldCat's suggested thesaurus terms:
Yoga: yogis, chakras, Hinduism
Young Adult: Youth, young men, young women
Exercise: Physical Fitness, exercises
Fun: Recreation, Leisure, Amusements
The additional databases that I chose were PapersFirst, Medline, and WorldCat
Ss1: (yoga OR yogis OR chakras)AND (young adult* OR youth OR Young Men OR Young Women) AND (recreation or Leisure)(All in Subject Field)
Results: 0
Ss2: (yoga OR yogis OR chakras) AND (young adult* OR youth OR Young Men OR Young Women)(All in Subject Field)
Results: 34
9 results from Medline, and 25 from WorldCat
Finally, I've gotten some great articles!!

What a great opportunity this blog could be to let all of you out there know what it's like to be a Research Assistant for the PPP. Well now we want to do just that! Here is the first of what will hopefully be many blogs from our hardworking assistants.
Alice's Blog on Lajuma
"Sitting in my University library on a cold January evening an advert appeared in my inbox, 'Opportunity to follow and study primates in South Africa.' I remember reading it, dreaming that such a job could be a reality, almost not believing it. I instantly sent the research centre my CV and now, nine months later, here I am in the picturesque South African mountains living that dream, far, far away from any library!
My name is Alice Newton and I am a Biology undergraduate student at Cardiff University. Part of this course is to carry out a Professional Training Year before graduation, to gain invaluable skills that prepare us for the wider world of work. Animal behaviour has always interested me and I do anything to spend time outdoors, so the job sounded perfect for me. On September 15th I arrived in South Africa's Soutpansberg Mountains, where I intend to stay for 10 months. Although I have travelled far from home to an exotic place, it is definitely not a holiday! It is a challenging, but equally rewarding placement, which I feel so lucky to be a part of. Not only because it is such an exciting placement, but also because there are so many amazing discoveries that are currently occurring at the research centre.
A photo of me in 'my office', overlooking Lajuma, South Africa.
My usual week involves following samango and vervet monkeys, alongside phenology and my own personal research time. Following a primate troop for the day means leaving camp at 4am and watching the monkeys awaken, then recording their behaviour throughout the day until sunset at 6pm. I consider it such an honour seeing the monkeys wake, as I know very few people have seen this. Only last week I arrived at dawn to discover one of the vervet monkeys had had an infant overnight, so I got to name him. I chose Vespa, and I may be a bit biased but he is definitely the best monkey on the mountain!
Infant Vespa, with mother Victory.
Like all animals you cannot plan a monkey follow; everyday is always very different. One moment the troop will be feeding pleasantly, the next they are tearing through thick acacia thorns on an unstoppable mission. It definitely keeps you on your toes! The primates are wild and so subject to many threats and predators. Whilst on one of my follows a crowned eagle landed a metre in front of me on a bush where the vervets were feeding, and nearly took a monkey for its own dinner. Even I found it terrifying, I cannot begin to imagine how the vervets must have felt.
After studying the vervets for the past month, I find them particularly interesting – because there are only nine individuals in the troop you can begin to learn their characters and personalities. I especially enjoy watching the juveniles play, and the way their unique ranking system means that a juvenile can be seen being groomed by a lower ranking adult male. I have become interested in conducting a research project on the social network of this vervet troop, with the ultimate goal of working out what the ranks within the troop really are. Alongside faecal sample DNA and intense behaviour observation, I believe I will be able to do this and am excited to begin the research.
When I was young I always thought 'adult jobs' looked boring and monotonal, but I can guarantee that working as a primate research assistant is far from that. It is exhilarating, varied and rewarding… and I cannot wait for all the adventures and surprises just round the corner.

5 Important Things a Blog Should Have
I think that out of many things a blog could contain, most importantly, it should be personal. Not in the sense of revealing things about your personal life; your blog should consist of what you want it to include. Also, the information posted in the blog should be relevant.

But then, he also needed a bottle of shampoo, which was hanging out on the shelf below our friend, Walter.
Oh look, Twidget is in there keeping Walter company. Maybe this is why poor Walter looked so skeeved out. That annoying purple idiot was probably in there making hours and hours of nasally, indecipherable, yammering small talk that earned him the second place title (directly behind the Teletubbies) for most homicidal tendency evoking fictional character of the 21st Century. I would probably have the exact same expression on my face if I were locked up all night with that hideous twirly eared creeper.
So for all my friends and family who wonder why I'm not quite right in the head and frequently look like I'm teetering on the precipice of needing to be committed to an institution or in desperate need of a nap, this is just one of the many daily occurrences in my life that contributes to the "Insanity Effect".
And this has been your glimpse into the zoo for today. Have a lovely week.

I haven't written for a while. There are so many things I could write about now, many of them positive, but today I just need to spew out some frustration combined with hope. I find myself becoming increasingly frustrated with politics, media manipulation, materialism, cruelty, and the distribution of wealth. I guess I just assume that our country and our world should be improving conditions for humans, and it sucks when you constantly see decisions being made that so obviously are going against that simple idea. I guess maybe I'm just becoming more passionate about lots of things in general, and I'd like to spend the next few months cutting down on social time a bit and focusing more on some projects that I'm passionate about.
The immigration thing is killing me and makes me physically nauseous the way things are worsening right now. There are so many ridiculous, inhumane proposals out there that are somehow steering the debate and influencing lots of naive people who don't realize that it's not easy to become legal if you're here illegally, and that people don't cross the border malevolently laughing like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons about how excited they are to steal jobs away from US Americans. If your job is being stolen by an immigrant then don't blame them; be intentional, look in the mirror and do something about it. If I'm interviewing for a job and someone is chosen over me I don't blame them; I try to improve my cover letter and interview skills so I get another job. There's always excuses to make and people to blame if you look for it. The question individuals need to ask is do they want to be an excuse-making blamer for life or do they want to control their life and be intentional in order to achieve their purpose.
It really frickin sucks for the good immigrants, who are here contributing to our society, to experience this complete shift in the public attitude and hopelessness about future reform. The immigration debate has given some racists an excuse to be outwardly racist, and they'll look for and exploit whatever reason they find to mask their deep-rooted racism and fear of different cultures. So there will be no answer to immigration anytime soon, and it's frustrating to have what I think is the best solution, but one that will never fly because of the way the public has successfully been manipulated and steered to resent immigrants.
Another thing that kills me is super wealthy, non-philanthropic people. I don't understand what goes through their minds, and how they can't comprehend that it will make them happier to share some of their fortune with worthwhile causes as opposed to keeping it all to themselves. I read that the top billionaires are typically giving away less that 5% of their income, which leaves them with a hunk of cash that they could be doing lots of amazing things with. Shoot, give me $5M to work with and I could do some serious good in this world with it. I hope one day to have or be a part of an International Foundation, but that's another story.
I'm frustrated with killings and how the media makes stars out of murderers, and how we the public love to watch news about murders even though it doesn't help to know about them and there's little we can do about it; it just makes us a little more fearful of life. But for some reason we love that, give us more murder in the news, more war, more political bashing. These massacres are the fault of the public and of the media, because if we didn't make these killers famous then they wouldn't be committing these horrible crimes. If they knew that their face and their words wouldn't be all over the place for millions to see they wouldn't do it. Until we shift this cultivation of infamy then we can either expect this problem to get worse or step up security everywhere we go all the time, and I don't think like either option.
Oh yeah, so where is the hope in all of this? It's just a matter of time before we get our heads out of our culos and start to realize how kindness breeds kindness, and that doers do better than blamers, and we will start learning from what works. Hopefully we are getting smarter, but sometimes I think media and technology are preventing that from happening. TV and internet consume us and reduce our social time, although the internet is really frickin amazing. I can see how people could end up spending all day on it.
Alright, I'm off to bed. Happy final night of Channukkah and peace to all.

Scanner Radio Pro
This is a great app for listening to police, fire, and emergency radio transmissions.
First a breif personal anecdote:
I've owned a couple handheld radio scanners in the past, and I actually been arrested for listening to one in my car once (it used to be legal to do that where I lived but they had changed the statute recently and I didn't know). Charges were eventually dropped because I had a press pass for a major publication, and members of the press were exempt from the new statute banning their use in motor vehicles. One nice thing about this app is that it doesn't actually monitor radio frequencies, it monitors transmissions from other people who have scanners set up to monitor the radio frequencies. So it shouldn't be illegal in any way but you may want to check local laws to be sure.
This app has some pretty good features and capabilities, such as:
Listen to live audio from over 2,500 police and fire scanners, weather radios, and amateur radio repeaters from around the world (with more being added daily).
Configure alerts to have the app notify you when lots of people are listening to a scanner (indicating that something big may be happening).
A handy widget that lets you toggle the scanner on/off right from your home screen.
Cost: $2.99 for the full version, but there's a free version available with some ads and the widget is disabled.
Some screenshots(not taken by me, because I use an older version):
Well writing this gave me an excuse to update to the latest version(and i really like the new look), so I might as well skip the QR code and just say click here to get it. That's assuming you have a rooted phone, and know what to do with the .apk file. That's the full version too. Umm if you want the free one or don't know what to do with that file, here's a QR code for you:
PROTIP: you can install the full version and the free one and listen to 2 scanner channels at once.

looks usefulReplyDelete
does this really work????ReplyDelete
Thanks for the QR code!ReplyDelete
cool sounding app...ReplyDelete
aye, it works and it's awesome. helps to understand police codes though it has a feature to look up some of the standard ones.
This would be super interesting.ReplyDelete
Nice one!ReplyDelete
Following you now! :)
Love these apps, so fun to just listen to for hours.ReplyDelete
haha i had an app like this and I used it once but never really used it ever again. cool idea for an app thoughReplyDelete
i think they use digital radio's here nowReplyDelete
is it worth it? id rather have a radar detecorReplyDelete
@SOMS, this app can handle digital radios too.ReplyDelete
I have a radar detector too, I use both. The scanner can just be kind of neat to listen to sometimes, but isn't too likely to protect you from trouble unless you're involved in something a little more than just speeding.
If you street race for example, you can hear a dispatch call go out to cops about busting the race spot and then you can get out of there before they show up.
One of the best tools that I use daily. So useful to escape traffic =)ReplyDelete

Following an embarrassing and disappointing performance by Pakistani batsmen, the side missed the opportunity to make a history as it lost to West Indies by 106 runs in second Test match at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Thursday.
Unlike the popular speculations, West Indian bowlers snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as they bowled out Pakistan for just 81 runs which remained Pakistan's 10th lowest total ever in Tests while second lowest against West Indies.
Barbados remains an uncharted territory for Pakistan. No Asian team has won a Test at Kensington Oval. #WIvPak
— Mazher Arshad (@MazherArshad) May 4, 2017
Prior to the beginning of its second innings, Pakistan required just 188 runs to win the three-match series after West Indies was bowled out for 268 runs; however, the visitors' top order collapsed, making it easier for West Indian bowlers to finish the game quickly in their favour.
In Pakistan's second innings, Sarfraz Ahmed remained the highest scorer with 23 runs followed by Muhammad Amir with 20.
For West Indies, Shannon Gabriel secured 5 wickets while Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph took 3 and 2 wickets respectively.
Earlier in both first innings, in reply to Pakistan's score of 312 runs, West Indies was all out for 393 runs. In West Indies' first innings, Roston Chase scored 131 runs while Pakistan's Azhar Ali scored 105 runs as highest scorers for their respective sides.
Over all, both West Indies' Shannon Gabriel and Pakistan's Yasir Shah grabbed 9 wickets each in the match whereas Roston Chase and Azhar Ali were the two Centurions with 131 and 105 runs respectively.
Since 1957-58, Pakistan has toured the Caribbean multiple times but yet it hasn't been able to win a single Test series against West Indies on its soil.
The third Test between Pakistan and West Indies will begin at Windsor Park in Roseau on May 14.

All I want this fall
Not spending money on clothes doesn't mean I don't want to spend any money... I'm earing quite a bit of money this month... First of all, we have sold our russebil (no word for that in english), which made 3730kr come into my account today. Whoopii! Secondly, I'll have my first paycheck from Baker Hansen tomorrow, about 8000kr. And on the 10th of October I'll have my money from Platekompaniet. So, what do I want?
1. The Macbook
I've had my PC for 3,5 years now, it's a bit tired. And macbooks are so stylish... Want to try one. I'll wait a little bit though, rumors has it that a new macbook is to be released in October!
2. New glasses
- i give up trying to find a good picture-
Why is eyewear so f*ing expensive? They cost about half a Macbook! At least if you want a designers name on them, which I obviously want... And it's damn hard finding the right pair.. I've tried about a hundred different pairs now.
3. New wallet
I've had my wallet for, I'm guessing, ten years. It's ripping at the seams! I want a nice, soft leather, quality wallet like these ones from Marc by Marc Jacobs.
4. Autumn shoes
I need a pair of shoes for autumn that are black, work with my new short trousers and have a bit of heel. Help?

Sounds like a good idea:)
I'm looking for a nice pair of black winter-ish shoes as well! Perhaps I'll find what I'm looking for in England :)

I second everything you just said!
I don't need to dress up because of work, I'm craving a macbook, I really want a soft leather wallet and Im in desperatly need of some autumn/winter shoes/boots. I don't need the glasses though - I really like the look, but find it a bit weird to wear them when I don't need to ;)
Im going to spend a certain amount of my salary on IKEA though - we need some more lighting in our livingroom :) But since I got about 15 000, it's hard to resist to buy clothes ;)

maria: If you don't find it there, you won't find it anywhere :)
pia: I think wearing glasses when you don't need to is kind of silly :P Save your money for a mac? If we buy it, can we spend some time together figuring out who to use it? :P
camillahuuse: Det skjønner jeg godt!
karoline: hehe, hvor lenge har du hatt den da? Tror det er en tilvenningsprosess, men håper ikke den er så altfor lang.

Friday, September 16, 2011
This is one of the awesome things about being a jewelry designer... My house is where old jewelry goes to be reborn! Will I leave the pieces as-is? Dismantle them and make them into new jewelry? Use them to decorate tribal bras, belts, and headgear? Only time will tell.

Denver enacts new pot shop rules
DENVER - In front of a packed audience of medical marijuana supporters and opponents Monday evening, the Denver City Council voted unanimously to enact new restrictions on where pot dispensaries can operate, and who can own them.
In a 13-0 vote, council members voted to restrict dispensaries from operating with 1000 feet of each other, schools and child care centers. The new ordinance also denies people convicted of felonies within five years from obtaining a license to operate a dispensary, and also bars on-site consumption of marijuana.
Dispensary owners will have to pass a criminal background check, pay a $2,000 application fee, and pay $3,000 a year to renew licenses. The new rules will likely result in the closure of several dozen medical marijuana dispensaries which are already open for business.
Prior to the vote, the council heard public comments from both sides of the issue. Some 92 people signed up to speak.
"The whole country and many parts of the world are intensely watching Colorado. What we do here will effectively change the course of American history," said one man who opposes the new restrictions.
Many argued that Denver voters have repeatedly spoken on this issue, and have approved medical marijuana sales and possession in several elections.
"The council's haste and its arrogant disregard for the will of its constituents is completely unacceptable," one opponent told council members. "This is still a civil rights issue, a human rights issues, and it's a health issue, not a criminal issue," another shouted.
While the crowd may have been overwhelmingly opposed to the new restrictions, there were a handful of supporters.
"I want you to close all dispensaries which are already located 1000 feet from schools," one woman said. "I believe that (the dispensaries) just a target for crime," said another.
Rob Corry, a pro-medical marijuana criminal defense attorney, says he plans to sue Denver over the legality of the new restrictions.
City officials estimate there are 390 medical marijuana licensing applications pending approval.

My Family and Other Animals
- Synopsis
- When the unconventional Durrell family can no longer endure the damp, gray English climate, they do what any sensible family would do: sell their house and relocate to the sunny Greek isle of Corfu. My Family and Other Animals was intended to embrace the natural history of the island but ended up as a delightful account of Durrell's family's experiences, from the many eccentric hangers-on to the ceaseless procession of puppies, toads, scorpions, geckoes, ladybugs, glowworms, octopuses, bats, and butterflies into their home.

No fewer than 150 intending pilgrims to this year's hajj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia were left stranded at the international wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos following their inability to show evidence of having secured a travel visa for the journey to the Holy Land.
It was gathered that the pilgrims, mostly from Ogun, Osun and Oyo states had been defrauded by a travel agent hired to secure travel visa, airfares and accommodation for them while in Saudi Arabia.
The pilgrims were expected to travel to Mecca last Friday with Qatar Airways, but the trip was truncated following the failure of the travel agent to show up with their passports and travel visas.
The agent (name withheld) was believed to have raked in about N142.5million from the 150 pilgrims as each of them was said to have paid N950, 000 for visa processing, airfares and other logistics charges.
When Daily Sun visited the airport, it was a pitiable sight as the intending pilgrims had converted the departure hall of the international airport into their sleeping apartment.
It was gathered that Jeddah Airport in Saudi Arabia would officially close today, which means if they failed to travel yesterday night or early today, their dreams of participating in the 2013 hajj exercise to Mecca would have been defeated.
One of the pilgrims, Mr. Abdulwasiu Adeyemi from Abeokuta in Ogun State, who spoke to journalists, said they arrived at the airport as early as 7am last Friday, but were yet to travel for the hajj in Mecca.
Adeyemi said each of them paid the agent N950,000 for the visa, air ticket and accommodation, but lamented that as at last Friday, some of them could not lay hands on international passports containing their visa as the agent failed to show up.
He said the passport was only given to him and some others yesterday and that they were asked to pay additional N280,000 for a return flight ticket for the exercise.
"I've never had any business deal with this company (the travel agent). He told us to be at the airport as early as 10am last Friday for our flight with Qatar Airways and we complied, but unfortunately, our passport and visas were not given to us by the agent as he claimed that they were not ready then."
Another affected pilgrim, Alhaja Muibat Arogunjo, lamented that the agent had turned her pilgrimage into a thing of sorrow .
Arogunjo said she had spent all the money in her savings for the exercise and could no longer cough out more funds for a new ticket. But a representative of the agent at the Lagos airport, who declined to mention his name, told journalists that the pilgrims were not defrauded by the company.
"It is the delay in the return of their visas by the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Nigeria that led to the inability of the pilgrims to travel at the agreed date," said the official.

Dick Diver - Spectrum, Sydney, 01/08/2009 - 48.2mb - 33 minutes
Songs played the usual Songs set, started off with a new one. This one is in mono because I spent the entire time talking shit into the left channel but it still turned out pretty well for a mono mix.

As for Mum Smokes, I left very disappointed. I had so much expectation for them but I guess it was just an off night. On the side, I made an awesomely amateur mistake and forgot to put the hold button on my iRiver on when I put it back in my pocket so I bumped the stop button at 4 minutes into the set. Awesome.

It has been ten months since the New York Times first reported the proposed building of Park 51, a Muslim cultural center (which, among other things, will include a mosque) who's space would be just blocks from ground zero. But it has only been in the last few months (after the city council unanimously approved the bid) that people have become up in arms about it, calling it the "ground zero mosque" and the "9/11 monster mosque".
Much of the uproar is due to right wing pundits and bloggers like Pamela Gellar (author of political blog Atlas Shrugs) spreading misinformation about the project. In a recent poll, 85% of Republicans, as opposed to 22% of Democrats, believed the community center was to be built directly on top of ground zero (seeming to forget that a 9/11 memorial is being built on that site...).
The issue soon became one of Christians versus Muslims, also with much pushing from Ms. Gellar. She asked her supporters to gather at the May 25th hearing of the community board to hear concerns and answer questions on the project, but only proceeded to cause unrest and heckling, including the forever memorable "You're building on a Christian cemetery!" Gellar and her followers seem to have forgotten that Jews, Atheists, and even Muslims died in the attack on the World Trade Center.
With each passing month is seems less and less likely we will ever see a completed Park 51. Contrary to conservative beliefs, the chief purpose of the community center, according to its Imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, is to "bring a better understanding between Muslims and non-muslims". The center, along with a mosque (which is to be run independently from Park 51 but in the same space), would be a Muslim community center complete with recreation facilities, a 500 seat auditorium, a restaurant and culinary school, a library, education programs, and a "September 11th memorial and quiet contemplation space, open to all".
It is sad to see that a space to committed to enriching communities and fostering common understanding is being halted due to hatred and ignorance. Maybe if the opposers of the project spent a little time there, they would learn something and change their minds.

Morning walk
People were on the beach early this morning as it will be hot and the main part of the day is not much fun.
There was a young family making sandcastles, another fishing off the reef, an abandoned boat, a lot of dog walkers, an awful lot of dog walkers, some doing the right thing and others not and three horses being given a swim in the sea.
We walked and I am afraid I was terribly slow, and then we went to get the papers and the mail and have a cup of coffee.
I think every one had the same idea this morning.
the family were still home when we got back and have only just left to go to the beach and have fish and chips later.
There was much discussion on what dvd to watch and in the end they watched Heath Ledger in 'A nights Tale' which I last saw on a plane to somewhere.
I can hear the black cockatoos in the pine trees getting the pine nuts, they love the fact that a few years ago we planted the pines that produce pine nuts. It is interesting how they adapt as their normal foods are the nuts of Banksia and Hakea.
Now I am off to feed the dogs and Oscar and the chooks.

A.K.A "What on earth do you do with turkey mince?"
I occasionally buy turkey mince, but generally use it as a filler with a more interesting meat like pork.
You can make meatballs with it, but it is pretty bland and tasteless, tends to dryness and doesn't have a great texture, unless you add a lot of other ingredients to make it interesting.
To be honest, turkey mince is pretty dull, which is why I decided to jazz it up with a lot of Mexican flavours.
I soaked some dried ancho, guajillo and chipotle chillies in boiling water for about half and hour and then whizzed them up with garlic, onion, fresh Scotch bonnet chilli, salt and pepper to make a paste.
In a pan, I heated some olive oil and fried some chopped chorizo slices until they were beginning to crisp up and then added the mince, stirring it until it lost the pinkness and then added in the paste, with a squeeze of tomato purée and continued to cook it for a few more minutes. Then I added a squeeze of honey and a glug of wine vinegar and allowed it all to cook until thick. Then I added in a handful of chopped coriander and let it cool.
I rolled out some bought puff pastry and added the meat mixture, rolling it up to make a kind of turkey mince Wellington.
Then I glazed the pastry and sprinkled sesame seeds over it and baked it for about 45 minutes in a hot oven.
As you can see, I served it with a salad and some pickled jalapeños.
It wasn't bad, there was definitely flavour there, but the flavour wasn't coming from the mince, which is still just something that needs a lot of seasoning and lubrication to make it interesting.
Classic French apple tarts are a different thing to the British apple pie. Both are good in their own ways but I like the pastry underneath the fruit most of the time and there is something about a tarte aux pommes that just appeals to me.
You really need to use puff pastry to get the right effect, although a buttery shortcrust pastry is nice too and your apples need to be thinly sliced, a mandoline helps with getting all the slices cut neatly and to a uniform thickness.
Shop-bought puff pasty is fine, I think.
I rolled out the pastry and lined a buttered flat baking sheet with a lip at the edge. You can use a fluted tart pan with a removable base if you want a round tart.
The pastry was sprinkled with caster sugar and the apples layered on top in a kind of fish scale pattern. Then I sprinkled icing sugar on top and baked the tart at about Gas Mark 6/180 C until the pastry was golden.
Then, I used a blowtorch to sear the top, it caramelised the sugar and apple juices and gave the fruit a nice cooked look.
You can glaze the finished tart with some apricot jam diluted in hot water and sieved to make a smooth syrup or you can leave it as it is and maybe flambé the tart with Calvados before serving it with crème fraiche.
I had some blackberries, which I cooked down with sugar and some Crème de Cassis and then sieved to make a smooth blackberry coulis to serve with the tart.
Apple and blackberry is a classic combination and this was a twist on the usual way of cooking the two fruits together.
I've written about chicken pies before, but mainly ones using leftover chicken.
This one uses chicken breast meat, some shredded ham hock and mushrooms and is cooked from scratch.
You need;
1 pack of shop-bought puff pastry
2 skinned and diced chicken breasts
A few sliced chestnut mushrooms
Shredded ham hock or diced ham
2 diced shallots
1 tub of crème fraiche
Concentrated chicken stock
1 small glass of Amontillado sherry
Salt and pepper
Dried fines herbes
Oil and butter
Dijon mustard
1 egg yolk
You soften the shallots in the melted butter and oil and add in the mushrooms, chicken and ham and cook until the chicken begins to turn white.
Then sprinkle it with flour and cook until the flour has been absorbed and add the sherry and cook until it forms a smooth paste. Then add in the concentrated stock and some hot water and continue cooking, making sure nothing sticks and burns.
Season with the dried herbs, salt and pepper and stir in the crème fraiche and continue cooking until the sauce thickens up. Then stir in a teaspoon of Dijon mustard and set aside to cool.
To assemble the pie, cut the pastry into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Roll out the larger piece of pastry and line a greased oven-proof dish with it. Add the filling and roll out the rest of the pastry to form a lid.
Seal the pastry all round the edges, glaze with beaten egg yolk, cut a hole to let out the steam and bake in a Mark 6/180 C oven until the top is golden and risen.
Serve with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable.
This was an experimental dessert.
The ingredients;
1 pack of frozen puff pastry
1 tub of curd cheese
1 bar of plain chocolate (I used Green & Black's Maya Gold)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of caster sugar
4 heaped tablespoons of ground almonds
1 glass of Bailey's Cream liqueur
I melted the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water and amalgamated it with the Bailey's. In a separate bowl I beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla extract and then added in the ground almonds and mixed everything together.
Then I folded in the chocolate and Bailey's and mixed it all until everything was smooth.
I rolled out the pastry and lined a buttered flan dish and then filled the pastry case with the filling. This was then baked in a Mark 6 oven for 45 minutes on the middle shelf.
The filling rose and cracked a bit, but I think that is OK really, because I served it dusted with icing sugar and with some cream poured over, so the cracks didn't really show.
We had some raspberries on the side as well and I think that it turned out pretty well. The filling was thick, rich and fudge-textured in the centre, but more crumbly on the edges where the pastry was crisp and flaky.
I really fancied making these, I haven't eaten one in years but I just had the urge to do some baking and these seemed like a good idea. They are a kind of baked cheesecake really, I suppose. They are supposed to date back to the Tudor period.
The recipe is derived from a Delia Smith one.
Frozen puff pastry
Flour for dusting
8 oz (225 g) curd cheese
1½ oz (40 g) candied lemon peel, finely chopped
1½ oz (40 g) golden caster sugar
The juice of one lemon
1 oz (25 g) of plain flour (or ground almonds which makes a heavier tart)
1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk
About 2 tablespoons of lemon curd
Icing sugar for dusting
You will need a fairy cake tin with 12 holes, which you should grease.
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the puff pastry thinly. Then, using a pastry cutter, cut out 12 circles and line the tin with the pastry rounds.
Then, in a bowl combine the curd cheese, sugar, lemon juice, flour (or almonds) and chopped peel. Beat the egg and egg yolk together in a separate bowl and add this to the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly blended and there are no lumps.
Spoon half a teaspoon of lemon curd into the base of each pastry case Don't use too much because it will bubble up during the cooking and may burn. Fill the pastry cases with the curd cheese mixture.
Bake the tarts in two batches on the centre shelf of the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are lovely golden brown colour. Remove them out of the oven, take them out of the baking tin and put them them to a wire rack to cool.
Dust with icing sugar before serving.
More retro comfort food again!
The pie was made with chicken left over from Sunday, plus the addition of some sautéed leeks and mushrooms in a sauce that used the rest of the gravy with some crème fraiche and chopped parsley.
The pastry I used was shop-bought puff pastry. This was rolled out and left quite thick and glazed with an egg yolk.
The accompaniments were lazy stuff – oven chips and frozen peas.
Hardly any prep work and cooking, but a great week night dinner all the same.

I've created several cards for this project so far, and the first two listed here are ones I haven't shown to anyone yet. The third and fourth that are listed HAVE been put on my Facebook page (and/or Erica's) but they were created solely with Erica's challenge in mind and for her purpose, so I'm going to include them here as well.
Ok, first up is my favorite card so far: Bug Hugs 4 YOU!!

Yes, it's happening! A new school term has just begun bringing with it meetings, lots of planning and great expectations. How do you feel about the new term? Do you have any special plans? Are there new resources, approaches, ideas you would like to try? Have you made any new term's resolutions?
One of our favourite mottos says that 'It's important to always have something to look forward to.' We believe that this is especially true when preparing for those months of teaching ahead. Chop up the term into manageable bits with lots of fun days of engaging activities inserted into your weekly routine, and you will have a sense of improvement and success at the same time. You can prepare for these projects, enjoy them, and then reflect on them before starting to plan the next one. To help you get started, here are some creative and engaging ideas for your English classes.
1 Start a reading adventure.
You can call it a reading challenge, a reading plan or a reading competition, whichever you prefer. The idea here is to encourage all students to plan their own reading up until the end of the year. The following ideas are based on the principles of extensive reading.
- Students choose the books they would like to read. You provide them with an appropriate selection of titles.
- Students have a reading timer to time their own reading.
- Reading should not be tested.
- Projects, presentations, reading diaries, artwork are welcome.
- Encourage your students to choose books from a wide range of genres; remember, comic books, graphic novels, non-fiction books and magazines have a place on their reading list.
- Follow up on your students' reading.
- Provide enough time for discussion in class. You can call it a class book club session. Have it regularly.
2 Make reading part of your weekly routine, organise special reading days.
Organise D.E.A.R. sessions, give your students time to read at the end of the lessons, or simply have a fix day when everyone can read for 15 minutes.
- Download our Reading Diary and Reading Timers from the Book Club Starter Kit.
- Organise a Reading Marathon Day in Your School
3 Get materials, kits and a reading area ready.
Dedicate an afternoon to prepare for all your reading adventures, programmes and special days. Here is a checklist of things and kits to remember.
- Print and store your Book Club Starter Kit.
- Print and store reading schedules.
- Get copies and browse a readers catalogue.
- Compile a list of magazines and comic books which are appropriate for your students.
- Visit the library with your students and get them library membership cards.
- Talk to your colleagues and your headmaster about organising reading days.
- Check the special days in your annual calendar, and write reminders two weeks ahead to start preparing for smaller events.
- Schedule smaller weekly and bigger monthly reading sessions, and write them in your planner.
- If you do not have a classroom library, organise a reading corner with a shelf or table of books, posters on the wall and space for your students' reading projects, posters and presentations.
- Keep checking the schedule of your local cinema to see what films (lots of them are adaptations of classics!) are coming out these months.

I was awoken from a deep sleep last night by a phone call from a cherished mate. She told me the heartbreaking news that Bob Carter had passed away from a heart attack suffered a few days ago.
I knew Bob for only a few years, but the last I saw of him was in 2013 on a cattle station just outside of Charleville. I got up in the morning and snapped this picture of his car, wearing the red badge of honour that comes from Western Queensland. The rising sun caught the redness of the mud as juxtaposed against the brilliant white of the car.
Bob was intelligent, personable, humble and sociable. I bumped into him at a function in Brisbane where he gladly snapped a picture of me with Vaclav Klaus, the then President of the Czech Republic. He was knowledgeable, wise, kind and funny.
The world has lost a giant of a man.
Vale Bob Carter. May you rest in peace. You have left a legacy of honour, respect, kindness, intellect and reason.
My heart goes out to your family, friends and colleagues. You were larger than life. You will be missed.

Bath Makeover: How a Recessed Bathroom Shelf Makes All the Difference
If you are tired of loose shower caddies falling off their hooks or decaying into rusty buckets, consider going up-market and installing a recessed bathroom shelf from leading providers like Ripple Systems. In fact, savvy builders are including these as part of a standard new build bathroom or shower design. Usually, more than one storage shelf is the way to go so as to accommodate the many people using the bathroom and everyone else who wants to leave some things in there. Don't despair if you have an old house where nothing was attached to the walls to help you out with storage, these built-in shelves are easy to install. As long as you are working with a stud wall, the basic process is to draw an outline of your niche against the wall, cut out the rectangular outline, insert the bathroom shelf into the cut out area and seal in, paint or tile over.

Can public libraries, school libraries, academic libraries, and special libraries collaborate to promote information literacy and lifelong learning? Lifelong learning is not confined to childhood or the classroom, but takes place throughout a range of situations in life including the workplace. How do libraries of all kinds best engage with their communities and make creative partnerships to meet the challenges?
What has worked for you and your colleagues in helping children / students / teachers and faculty / job-seekers / veterans / seniors and more when teaching lifelong learning? How have you reached out to those in various library institutions to help each other with such efforts? Share your innovations, experimental attempts, successes and failures.
Kathy Gould, Director of the Palos Verdes Library District, will be the keynote speaker at the second annual LILi conference. Ms. Gould will address public library partnerships with schools and other community organizations, and how we work together to enhance both information literacy and lifelong learning. Michael Barb, School and Student Services Librarian at Palos Verdes Public Library, will add brief information regarding his work with schools. A panel of librarians from other types of libraries will react to the talk with ideas for bringing other types of libraries into the mix. The aim is to highlight a crucial area for cooperation and collaboration among different types of libraries toward a common goal: offering supportive, sequential information literacy instruction (ILI, including lifelong learning) for all levels and in all types of libraries.
Panel: Susie Chin, Glendale College and Sarah Clark, Windward School.
Information Literacy lies at the core of lifelong learning. It empowers people of all walks of life to seek, evaluate, use and create information effectively to achieve their personal, social, occupational and educational goals. It is a basic human right in a digital world and promotes social inclusion of all nations. – Alexandria Proclamation on Information Literacy and Lifelong Learning
Presentations (20 min)
Gaining Ground: Building Lifelong Information Literacy Skills
Building Lifelong Information Literacy Skills is a campus-community bridge program designed by University of Wisconsin - La Crosse librarians to bring awareness to and application of lifelong information literacy skills for local high school students as they transition to college.
Becoming solidly information literate takes more investment and training than is possible in one session. However, through group work and active learning activities, this workshop introduced vital notions of one's place and responsibilities in an information culture. By strengthening critical thinking skills, participants advanced towards becoming more intuitive, efficient and knowledgeable information consumers in the complex information environment that they must navigate. Participants also learned tangible and concise information seeking skills, and tips and tricks for successful navigation of the many information sources available.
In addition to creating a campus-community bridge, an important aspect of the Gaining Ground program was assessment. The librarians involved were interested in measuring the effectiveness of the program and designed a pre/post-test assessment to accomplish this task. While the assessments were identical, the pre-test results allowed librarians to understand the Gaining Ground participants' pre-existing information literacy knowledge, while the post-test allowed them to see the areas in which participants had improved throughout the day. Together, both sets of assessment data enabled librarians to measure how well the his session will describe a State Library pilot project to create a computer skills cooperative in Downtown Inglewood between several institutions, the Inglewood Public Library, the South Bay One-Stop Career Center, the Inglewood Adult School and West Los Angeles Community College. Using a hired Computer Literacy Coordinator, we intend to create a shared calendar of tutoring sessions and basic computer skills classes, matching vetted community college students to seniors, job seekers and other adults needing computer training. The coordinator would also be responsible for sampling short term satisfaction and long term outcomes.
Getting Students College-Career Ready
This session would present an initiative by Inland Empire Area librarians at the high school, college and university levels to develop a library bridge program to increase the college readiness of Inland area high school students. The organization, the Inland Library Collaboration Roundtable, is working to develop or revise lesson plans and other resources designed to foster the information literacy skills students will need when they arrive at college.

On the way home yesterday I heard something interesting on the radio. Can't remember whether it was the Dj, a guest on the show or an advert that drew my attention, but he/she/it said the following:
If you had to sell your life on e-bay, would you bid for it and how much would you pay?
Don't you think that's a pretty good question to ask yourself.
I would have to answer yes to me bidding for my own life, but Im just not too sure how much im willing to pay for it. Some days I would pay through my teeth, other days I would pay someone else just to have it. Or maybe I would pay for parts of it and others I wouldn't. Let's see, I'd pay highly for my friends and family, average for my looks, less for my body, high for my flat, semi high for my social life, average for my work, absolute nil for banks and car debt, pay nil again for my love life. I suppose it's a good way to break your life into little pieces tpo see where improvement is needed.
So here's my mini challenge to everyone. I'd like to know if you would bid for your life and how much you would pay for it. Could get quite interesting.

* Belize Flag
CARICOM has broken up. One of the main sticking points were the free movement of peoples as citizens of the greater nation of CARICOM. Jamaica didn't want it at all. They are afraid they will get swamped by other islanders. Nor does Barbadoes much in the news recently in deporting Caricom nationals, not of Barbados. Trinidad neither wants them. Therein lies the rub behind the decades of rhetoric. Current Presidents, or Prime Minister's do not want to become second class citizens in their own countries with new titles of State Governor instead of a Prime Minister or President on the International scene.
CARICOM had gone as far as egos, pride and self interest in getting rich would allow and CARICOM never could get past this point at all. It all came out in the last Heads of Government meeting. Nobody was going to budge an inch. Certainly not Barbados, Trinidad, Cayman, or Jamaica. So there you have it. With the additional loss of four countries from Caricom, to the ALBA Communist block as the new totalitarian IRON CURTAIN drops over Latin America and the Caribbean for oil gifts. Plus a new organization of Eastern Caribbean States with their own airline and currency. CARICOM as a dream is all over now. Only need to mop up the blood on the floor, fire a few CARICOM secretariat people, cut the budget allocations and we are back to square one.
I'm glad thats over with. It was a foregone conclusion, but the politicians and bureaucrats rode it for along time, for the expense paid trips and so called business meetings, when they were actually vacationing and playing BIG MAN to the ignorant masses of their own countries. It is a wonder we the masses tolerated this CHARADE as long as we did? Still we in the Caribbean tend to be apathetic about such things.

I live in between the Griswolds.
You remember – Clark Griswold, the character Chevy Chase made famous in all the National Lampoon Vacation movies?
You know, the guy who goes overboard with the outside decorations in Christmas Vacation.
The reason those movies are funny – the original one and Christmas Vacation, especially – is because as exaggerated as they are, we all know there's an element of reality to them. Scary.
Clark Griswold lives across the street from me. In duplicate.
I think it's become a competition.
Their displays stay on all night.
Chester's been a nervous wreck since Thanksgiving. He typically barks at a blowing leaf, but the reflections of all the colored dancing lights through the sheer panels on the windows that look out across the street have him barking like he was on steroids.
Makes me sound like some kind of Scrooge, I know.
I grew up going to see the Burns' Christmas light display in Wichita Falls as a little girl, and it was amazing. Cars would line up for miles to drive through the Country Club section of town to see that display of lights and moving animotronic characters, complete with music and a robot who spewed soap bubbles all over the lawn. It was spectacular.
As a little kid I sat mesmerized in the backseat of the car looking at all the stuff.
As an adult I'm thinking about the Burns' neighbors who couldn't back out of their driveways or have guests at their own houses because there was a line of traffic backed up to Archer City (25 miles away) waiting to drive past "that house over there in Wichita that had all them characters lit up out in the yard."
Don't get me wrong. One of my favorite things to do at Christmas time still is driving around to look at lights.
Meanwhile, my house is pitch black.
It looks like a Martha Stewart Christmas on the inside.
But on the outside, I got nothin.'
You don't need to when you're surrounded by the Griswolds.

"Patrick, did you fart?"
Given my history with cheeses I confided that I had in fact, "ripped a mean one."
"Patrick, that's gross, but not what I wanted to talk to you about today. You're mother and I have been talking, you're getting older and you have very poor social skills. We're certainly not getting any younger, we feel it's time you started getting serious about finding that special girl & giving us some grandkids."
Then I farted again.
Coming from a theatrical background, all's I know are actresses, and so that is who I've dated. Some of which are pictured at left. (Yes, I am
And then it happened.
I was walking home from my gym, Mid City Gym: The Last Real Gym (and official gym of Patrick Garrigan), and standing outside the Gershwin Theatre was my dream girl.
5'7", curvy, sexily rocking a charcoal gray pantsuit as she stood in front of her fuck-off Suburban, hand on her hip cradling a REALLY BIG GUN! It was love at first sight. My dream girl?
A Female Secret Service Agent!! (artist rendering)
Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking, "THAT'S THE STUPIDEST FUCKING THING I'VE EVER HEARD." ....or something to that effect. Your skepticism is predictable & understandable. Which is why I have compiled the following reasons why a female Secret Service agent might just be the person to take on the mantle of the coveted Mrs. Garrigan title. Read on, I think you'll agree:
- At long last I can get that motorcade I've always wanted.
- Seriously? Is there anything hotter than a girl with a gun? Seriously.
- Can use "Protective Detail" excuse to cut to the head of line at Space Mountain.
- Finally! A reason to talk into my sleeve.
- Someone I can really connect with by reenacting scenes from In the Line of Fire.
- Tight pantsuit + no panty lines = Thong! Yes! Yes! Yes! (Patrick begins his insipid arm pumping gesture, and wont' stop -Helen)
- Can use Dept. of the Treasury connections to thwart inevitable tax evasion charges.
- Fulfills the "must take bullet for me" requisite in my ideal mate checklist.
- Through-the-kitchen access to all the best restaurants! Nifty!
- Maybe she can introduce me to Bill Clinton? Maybe? No? K. That's cool, I just thought I'd ask...
Yeah, I think I made my case.
So let search begin. All you foxy GWGG readin' Secret Service agent ladies out there this is your chance! Let those @secretservice.gov emails fly! 'Cause babies, I won't be on the market for long. (Sobbing ensues)
