first off, the pictures below are irrelevant to the blog. had to use this site to host posting pictures on another site.
Back to me:
Hand specialist yesterday due to what I now call "patio hand". I'm sure that term will me a new entry into medical textbooks.
Here's the diagnosis, followed by a side of surgery: "advanced carpal tunnel syndrome"
Many thoughts about this, I can barely get my head together, but I'll try here. Here's the top ten list of why this is so wrong:
10. That I didn't stop when I was in so much pain building a retaining wall and then a patio
9. The way I was brought up, our message we heard was always to "just do it" or "push through the pain" It's always been that way in our family- Yes, this comment smacks of blaming it all on the parents, and we're a hard working people, but I'm just tossing it out there. I'm so this way.
8.If we'd just hired someone to do it, they'd be having surgery not me
7. I'll never, ever take on a project like this again. Ever.
6. This throws a real wrench into my tight painting schedule for Napa Valley Open studios event. I absolutely won't cancel it, but I'm feeling a bit challenged right now on how to accomplish some of the goals I have.
5. the world is not set up for a mom with a toddler to be dragging him into medical appointments: 8 follow up physical therapy appointments post surgery. Are they kidding?
4. Now realizing what dead weight my other hand is. When I'm practicing getting used to using it for a while, all I can think is,
"what the hell have you been doing my whole life, just hanging there??" I need to work on getting lefty into fighting shape.
3. I'm seriously thinking about teaching myself to write and paint left handed
2. I can't wait to see what my left hand can paint. Oh boy
1. What a shame: a very preventable injury, but I had to learn the hard way

This box is great because it takes ONE regular sheet of cardstock, 8.5X11inches. You just score along the longest side at 2, 5, 7, and 10. Then score along the shortest side at 2 and 7. The 2 inch part at the top becomes the lid (just trim off all of those rectangles except one), and the opposite side becomes the bottom of the box (just cut along those score lines). To see a full step by step guide, click here!
I decorated the box using some elements from the Sweet Day collection from Echo Park & the Bold Sentiments III stamp set, which were both part of the May SP Monthly Kit. June kit sign ups are going on now so click here to read more about the SP Monthly Club!

(Shawl 2: 6 repeats done)
By this stage I was totally expecting the bag to be lost in transit somewhere. My boss thought this was all very amusing ("This would only happen to you" isn't a statement that helps in such times of crisis). However, having been on the receiving end of some knitted gifts, she was very sympathetic. She called the office and had them fax the pattern to us and then let me slip out of the last (very boring) session to knit. Take note knitters, get your boss on side!
(Shawl 1: 6 repeats done)
I thought I would start with my shawl, because I'd already cast that on with half a skein I had left from another project. But it just didn't look right. Check it out:
They're almost completely different! Who would have thought dye lot would make that much difference. What's Gold/Purple/Green on one is Yellow/Brown/Blue on the other. The second one looks like a totally washed-out version of the first. I was really unhappy about this to start with, but as I knitted up the new yarn I realised that I still liked it, it was only really a problem when I compared it to the other. I haven't quite figured out what I'm going to do with the little bit of the darker colour I have, I suspect i'm going to need it to finish off the project. Does anyone have any advice for how I can work it in, other than alternating between the balls towards the end?
I've got the weekend set aside for knitting, so hopefully will have some progress by Monday. I think it was the good vibes ya'll sent that battled off the forces of evil so keep'em coming!
Oh, and I just remembered I have a pair of fetchings to knit by Monday for a work mate that's moving back to Italy. I'm shaking my head at me too.

This behind-the-scenes trailer shows us a number of amplifiers that were used by Andreas to record guitar tracks for Sepultura's album *TMBHAHMBTH*. As of 0:21 we can see an EVH 5150 III amp head.more

"Even Satchel admits that there are more knobs on his 100-watt EVH 5150 III heads than he needs—or even knows what to do with—so usually during a show, he relies on the "red" channel and doesn't see a huge need for any EQ because it's all in his hands." -Premier Guitar; Rig Rundown: Steel Panther's Satchelmore

Behind John, through this video, a EVH 5150 III can be seen.more
I'm now using an EVH 5150 III head live and I gotta say, this amp rules! It's got a really sparkling clean channel, the rhythm channel is super crunchy and the lead channel fucking rips! I actually use the lead channel for both leads and rhythm riffs because I like how aggressive it sounds. When I use the rhythm channel it's more to accentuate breaks, or on riffs that are a little more staccato to give it a tighter punch.more
"The EVH 5150 III is an amp that I really like and have been using live—as well as on most of the tracks for The Dissent of Man—but I didn't really use it much on True North."more
> I use the EVH 5150III. My setup is actually really stripped down. I'm not a big "toy" kind of guy. I basically have a Charvel guitar going through an MXR Overdrive, a noise suppressor, a wah-wah, and I have a delay and a reverb in the effects loop for solos.more

" My go to amps are the EVH 100watt and old 71 Marshall Super Tremolo into a 25watt greenback Marshall cab with either my signature Dean Z or my 91 Gibson Explorer."more
> I've also been using the EVH 5150 III, the 100-watt head, since 2014. We first used them on a Mayhem festival and loved the amps. They sound really good both live and in the studio.more
"In my rig it's a 5150. Now I'm using the EVH 5150 III but before I used the 5150 II or the 5150 I. I think I've had every single one of 'em. Then I would use a Tube Screamer in front of it just to kind of push it a little harder. Really not until "Common Courtesy," I never used any pedals." - excerpt from Ultimate Guitar interview.more
Seen him use one live in concert, and it's in the video for Gates of Horn and Ivory, and I'd reckon it's been used extensively on Eye of Providence.more

"Our friends at Fender sent us the EVH 5150 III's when they came out a few years back and we've been playing those ever since. They're absolutely phenomenal amps for what we do.

Couples like them, they don't go on
honeymoons. They go on breaks.
They were to visit a few foreign lands,
not tasteless islands, or Dubai. But
countries (like Cambodia, Vietnam).
Their taste was to be reflected in the
simplicity of their home. No garish
replicas of the Eiffel Tower. Or mugs
with red hearts. Instead, there would
be, in one quite corner, a carelessly
strewn rug. (Maybe from say Peru?).
Taste and class must be effortless.
But effortlessness is expensive. Very.
So given the shrinking economy, and
soaring air fares, they opted instead
for the most obscure town in the hills.
They got married anyway. Claimed
that they preferred discovering India.
(Why go to a foreign country, when
it's all here?)
Such is the lie that comes out of
Love, in the midst of a Credit Crunch.

West Side Market: Documenting the JourneySeptember 3rd, 2012 Posted in Architecture, Art, Artisan made goods, Ohio City
Cleveland is about to be treated to its own personal history with the publication of Cleveland's West Side Market: 100 Years and Still Cooking.
Back in 2008, Marilou Suszko, a noted food writer and teacher from Vermillion, heard that the West Side Market would celebrate its centennial birthday in 2012. She realized not much had been written about the Market since the publication of To Market, To Market by Joanne M. Lewis in 1981, so she began to explore the idea, becoming serious after speaking with fellow food writer and author of the famed Cleveland Ethnic Eats, Laura Taxel. Together they began the journey that would literally take them three years, with many new discoveries and observations made along the way.
Very soon into their endeavor, Laura and Marilou discovered that "we wanted to talk about the Market in the book with a lot of different voices." Vendors, customers and the city of Cleveland as the Market's owner were all thoroughly embraced, with their stories shared and thoughts highlighted.
Cleveland's West Side Market pays homage, first of all, to the vendors. Marilou described them as "foremost in my mind." But they also wrote the book to celebrate the customers and the Market as a whole, hoping it will be a good thing for the Market and wishing it to not only survive, but thrive.
The Market's more than one hundred vendors represent the many nationalities that make up the greater Cleveland population. Over the years, the countries represented have shifted, just as immigrant populations have. Presently there are nine stands with the original families still running the business- an amazing fact after one hundred years. Then there are the many "multiple decade" families- those who purchased the business decades ago. New vendors also join the group on a regular basis. The stands are somewhat affordable as new businesses go, making the business of selling food at the West Side Market within reach of those willing to put in the hard work and time. Many began working as children and helping their parents, until one day they were old enough to actually take over. They simply state, while displaying a huge grin, that they "just never left."
Asked how they went about talking to the customers, both women chuckled at their learning curve. "The first time, we hired a teenage girl to stand in the parking lot and hand out one hundred cards in the parking lot to let people know that we were up in the balcony if they wanted to share their stories. We had only one visit us that day!" Eventually word spread, though, that there was to be a book written and that the authors were interested in any West Side Market memories they were willing to share. They received many hand-written notes and phone calls, indicative of the generation of those they were hearing from. In the end, there was no shortage of people to speak with; as a matter of fact, stories still come in on a regular basis.
It was fascinating to hear about their search for information. Deciding to split the assignments and promising each other never to reveal who wrote what, they dove into their research by not only searching archives for old documents in the old fashioned way, but also made full use of current technologies. Without the instantaneous feedback of emails, PDFs and the internet, an undertaking like this book would have lasted years longer. They combed many government archives, with pages of old contractor agreements, invoices, money market and state of the building reports occasionally offering up a new discovery. Online searches of libraries became time savers, allowing them to track down what they were looking for in a timely manner.
This thoroughly modern treatment of a one hundred year old institution continues into the book itself. Every page has photographs, and most pages contain multiple sidebar personal memories or information. "It is very much a reflection of the time and place we are writing about. From the very first proposal, we knew it would be told in words and pictures."
Cleveland's West Side Market: 100 Years and Still Cooking will be available October 15, 2012, just in time for the Centennial Gala on November 3rd.
We await Cleveland's West Side Market with great anticipation and thank the authors for this great gift they have given to us all. As we all know here in Cleveland, "There is nothing quite like the West Side Market." The rest of the country is about to find out!

See, it's Dinner Week. Meaning that last night was the small-scale, family-deities-and-ancestors dinner[1], and tomorrow night is the Big Solstice Shindig.
And what typically happens when I throw a party, or a dinner, or some other event that involves food and space preparation (this totally happened at Spring Fling, too), is that I end up in a squirrely, strung-out head-space where I Must Do It All Myself. Even when I know I have four hands instead of two.
The trouble is that, while I can develop a routine, I'm not very good at Instructing on the Fly, so to speak. And so I run around like a chicken with my head cut off, just wanting people to stay out of my way – because, even though what I really want is for people to Move That Couch or Clear That Table or Put The Coffee On or Dress and Set the Table… I'm in a state where I can't think far enough ahead to articulate that, or articulate how to do it Right, or to sort out what order they need to be done in so that my helper(s) and I aren't working at cross-purposes.
This (a) leaves me feeling frazzled and, sometimes, put-upon or irritated[2], and (b) probably leaves my helper(s) feeling awkward, underused, and potentially incompetent.
None of this is a good thing.
So. What can I do to mitigate this?
I think what I need to do is to develop a Plan beforehand where I've not only sorted out what needs doing, but have also sorted out who will be doing it. It's not a perfect solution – case in point: tomorrow evening, my Ghost will be getting home with The Wine a scant half-hour (if we're lucky) before the guests are due to arrive. Her main task will be Having A Shower, while I make sure the food gets set out and the birdcage gets moved into the bedroom. None the less, I think it's worth trying and, hey, at least then I'll have a list of what can be delegated versus what I want/need to do myself.
It couldn't hurt.
Ms Syren.
[1] Complete with house-cleansing and spell-work, although minus the divination – in part because that usually happens at the Big Shindig.
[2] Because, what, they can't just read my addled mind and see the jobs that need doing?

I am now an official resident of the state of New York. AND I am officially, 100% a Fitzgerald. Yes, I finally changed my name on my drivers license. I changed my social security card ages ago, but had a hard time letting go of my Virginia license.
So yesterday, Scott and I used the best hours of our day off together to wait in the line at the DMV. Nice date, wouldn't you say? But now it's done! And while digging out all of the documents we needed, I found this gem!
Sweet, little ten year old Scott's passport! I just love his proud, little face and the scribbly signature.
Happy Tuesday, everyone!

There are many reasons I am glad I am not American. I have, however, just been given a new one. Imagine the prospect that this lady might become Head of State in your country:
Random thoughts and musings from a young Catholic Evangelical. Mostly on religion and global politics and culture, with occasional forays into literature and the existential plight of my self and other selves in the modern world.
Her democratic rival is even worse. I am just hoping that they tear each other apart, giving us President McCain.

CARMEN TORO, Plaintiff, against SHIRLEY S. CHATER,1 Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: GRUBIN
SHARON E. GRUBIN, United States Magistrate Judge:
This is an action brought under the Social Security Act ("the Act"), 42 U.S.C. §§ 405(g), 1383(c)(3), to review a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying plaintiff's application for Supplemental Security Income ("SSI") benefits based on disability. The plaintiff, who brought the action pro se but is now represented by counsel, and the Commissioner have each moved for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c). For the reasons stated below, I recommend that the Commissioner's motion be granted and the plaintiff's denied.
Applicable Principles of Law
For purposes of the Act, a person is considered disabled when he or she is unable "to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." 42 U.S.C. §§ 423(d)(1)(A), 1382c(a)(3)(A).
That impairment must be of such severity that the person "is not only unable to do his previous work but cannot, considering his age, education, and work experience, engage in any other kind of substantial gainful work which exists in the national economy, regardless of whether such work exists in the immediate area in which he lives, or whether a specific job vacancy exists for him, or whether he would be hired if he applied for work." 42 U.S.C. §§ 423(d)(2)(A), 1382c(a)(3)(B).
The evidence that must be considered in determining whether an individual is disabled includes: (1) objective medical facts; (2) diagnoses and medical opinions based on such facts; and (3) subjective evidence of disability, including any pain experienced by the individual and his or her educational background, age and work history. Williams ex rel. Williams v. Bowen, 859 F.2d 255, 259 (2d Cir. 1988); Mongeur v. Heckler, 722 F.2d 1033, 1037 (2d Cir. 1983) (per curiam); Carroll v. Secretary, 705 F.2d 638, 642 (2d Cir. 1983); Parker v. Harris, 626 F.2d 225, 231 (2d Cir. 1980). The Commissioner shall consider "all evidence available in such individual's case record, and shall develop a complete medical history of at least the preceding twelve months for any case in which a determination is made that the individual is not under a disability," and "shall make every reasonable effort to obtain from the individual's treating physician (or other treating health care provider) all medical evidence, including diagnostic tests, necessary in order to properly make such determination, prior to evaluating medical evidence obtained from any other source on a consultative basis." 42 U.S.C. §§ 423(d)(5)(B), 1382c(a)(3)(G). The Commissioner is to give a treating physician's opinion on the nature and severity of the applicant's impairments "controlling weight" if it is "well-supported by medically acceptable clinical and laboratory diagnostic techniques and is not inconsistent with the other substantial evidence in [the claimant's] case record." 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1527(d)(2), 416.927(d)(2). If the Commissioner determines that a treating physician's opinion is not entitled to controlling weight, she must nevertheless determine what weight to give it by considering five enumerated factors -- (1) the length of the treatment relationship and the frequency of examination; (2) the nature and extent of the treatment relationship; (3) the supportability of the opinion, i.e., the extent to which the source presents relevant evidence, particularly medical signs and laboratory findings, to support the opinion; (4) consistency of the opinion with the record as a whole; and (5) the specialization of the physician -- and must "give good reasons in [the] notice of determination or decision for the weight [given to the] treating source's opinion." 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1527(d), 416.927(d). See Schisler v. Sullivan, 3 F.3d 563, 567-69 (2d Cir. 1993) (explaining and upholding regulations superseding what was known in the Second Circuit as the "treating physician rule"); see also Diaz v. Shalala, 59 F.3d 307, 312-13 (2d Cir. 1995).
With respect to a claimant's subjective complaints of pain, 42 U.S.C. § 423(d)(5)(A) provides, in pertinent part:
An individual's statement as to pain or other symptoms shall not alone be conclusive evidence of disability as defined in this section; there must be medical signs and findings, established by medically acceptable clinical or laboratory diagnostic techniques, which show the existence of a medical impairment that results from anatomical, physiological, or psychological abnormalities which could reasonably be expected to produce the pain or other symptoms alleged and which, when considered with all evidence required to be furnished under this paragraph...would lead to a conclusion that the individual is under a disability.
See also 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1529, 416.929. When a medically determinable impairment exists that reasonably could be expected to produce the pain alleged, objective medical evidence must be considered in determining whether a disability exists, whenever such evidence is available. 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1529(b), 416.929(b). If symptoms suggest a greater impairment than can be shown by objective evidence alone, consideration will also be given to such factors as: (1) the claimant's daily activities; (2) the nature, location, onset, duration, frequency, radiation, and intensity of pain and other symptoms; (3) precipitating and aggravating factors; (4) type, dosage, effectiveness, and adverse side-effects of medication that claimant has taken to alleviate the symptoms; (5) treatment, other than medication, for relief of pain or other symptoms; and (6) any measures which claimant uses or has used to relieve the pain or other symptoms. 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1529(c)(3), 416.929(c)(3). An Administrative Law Judge may reject claims of severe, disabling pain after weighing the objective medical evidence in the record, the claimant's demeanor, and other indicia of credibility, see Marcus v. Califano, 615 F.2d 23, 27 (2d Cir. 1979), but must set forth his or her reasons "with sufficient specificity to enable us to decide whether the determination is supported by substantial evidence." Ferraris v. Heckler, 728 F.2d 582, 587 (2d Cir. 1984).
The Commissioner has established a five-step sequence to be used in evaluating disability claims. 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1520, 416.920. See Sullivan v. Zebley, 493 U.S. at 525; Bowen v. Yuckert, 482 U.S. 137, 140, 96 L. Ed. 2d 119, 107 S. Ct. 2287 (1987); Bowen v. City of New York, 476 U.S. 467, 470, 90 L. Ed. 2d 462, 106 S. Ct. 2022 (1986). As explained by the Court of Appeals in Berry v. Schweiker, 675 F.2d 464 (2d Cir. 1982) (per curiam), the five steps are as follows:
First, the [Commissioner] considers whether the claimant is currently engaged in substantial gainful activity. If he is not, the [Commissioner] next considers whether the claimant has a "severe impairment" which significantly limits his physical or mental ability to do basic work activities. If the claimant suffers such an impairment, the third inquiry is whether, based solely on medical evidence, the claimant has an impairment which is listed in Appendix 1 of the regulations. If the claimant has such an impairment, the [Commissioner] will consider him disabled without considering vocational factors such as age, education, and work experience; the [Commissioner] presumes that a claimant who is afflicted with a "listed" impairment is unable to perform substantial gainful activity. Assuming the claimant does not have a listed impairment, the fourth inquiry is whether, despite the claimant's severe impairment, he has the residual functional capacity to perform his past work. Finally, if the claimant is unable to perform his past work, the [Commissioner] then determines whether there is other work which the claimant could perform.
Id. at 467. The claimant bears the burden of proof as to the first four steps, the Commissioner as to the fifth. Id.; see also Diaz v. Shalala, 59 F.3d at 311 n.2.
In reviewing a denial of disability benefits, the court is not empowered to make a de novo determination of whether the claimant is disabled. Jones v. Sullivan, 949 F.2d 57, 59 (2d Cir. 1991); Wagner v. Secretary, 906 F.2d 856, 860 (2d Cir. 1990); Cruz v. Sullivan, 912 F.2d 8, 11 (2d Cir. 1990). Rather, it is the function of the Commissioner, and not the reviewing court, to pass on the credibility of witnesses, including the claimant, and to resolve material conflicts in the testimony. Richardson v. Perales, 402 U.S. 389, 399, 28 L. Ed. 2d 842, 91 S. Ct. 1420 (1971); Aponte v. Secretary, 728 F.2d 588, 591 (2d Cir. 1984); Carroll v. Secretary, 705 F.2d at 642; Marcus v. Califano, 615 F.2d at 27. The court's function is limited to assessing whether the Commissioner applied the proper legal standards in making a determination and whether that determination is supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole. 42 U.S.C. §§ 405(g), 1383(c)(3); Arnone v. Bowen, 882 F.2d 34, 37 (2d Cir. 1989); Johnson v. Bowen, 817 F.2d 983, 985 (2d Cir. 1987).
In that regard, the Supreme Court has defined "substantial evidence" as "'more than a mere scintilla. It means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.'" Richardson v. Perales, 402 U.S. at 401 (quoting Consolidated Edison Co. v. NLRB, 305 U.S. 197, 229, 83 L. Ed. 126, 59 S. Ct. 206 (1938)). See also Diaz v. Shalala, 59 F.3d at 314; Rivera v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 964, 967 (2d Cir. 1991). "To determine on appeal whether the ALJ's findings are supported by substantial evidence, a reviewing court considers the whole record, examining the evidence from both sides, because an analysis of the substantiality of the evidence must also include that which detracts from its weight." Williams ex rel. Williams v. Bowen, 859 F.2d at 258. See Universal Camera Corp. v. NLRB, 340 U.S. 474, 488, 95 L. Ed. 456, 71 S. Ct. 456 (1951); Alston v. Sullivan, 904 F.2d 122, 126 (2d Cir. 1990). However, the Commissioner's finding will be sustained if supported by substantial evidence even where substantial evidence may support the plaintiff's position and despite that the court's independent conclusion based on the evidence may differ from the Commissioner's.

Om os
Encoded is a Danish designed furniture and interior brand that embraces natural aeshetics.
We create uniquely designed collection that is shaped and crafted by hand.
Encoded was founded in 2008 by Trine Bøttger.
After several years on Bali Trine Bøttger's passion for the handcrafted and aesthetics
started to grow. She returned to Danmark to design a collection
with a classic and timeless elegance made by hand and heart.
Lone Husted, who founded the company Code & Shape became partner in Encoded in 2016.
Both Trine and Lone's passion for Danish design, handcraft and authenticity turned out to be
a perfect match and they have now merged all activities in Encoded and Code & Shape.
Crafts, quality and aesthetics
Even though Encoded is now growing fast the management in Encoded stick to the philosophy
of making great artwork with the heart. Most of the collection is made locally on Bali but designed in Denmark.
We could chase cheaper and large scale production, but this is not what we aim at in Encoded.
Uniqueness is for us a collection created by hand and heart in combination with trust and
long term commitment for the benefit of the people working so hard to fulfill all our expectations.
We strive at showing a collection which reflects this way of thinking
Encoded combines the sleek lines of Danish design with the workmanship of skilled Bali artisans
to create a furniture collection made of braided cow leather, recycled safety belts and untreated teakwood.
The designs are truly unique items with character and an urban look expressing authenticity and honesty.
We are inspired by the raw and unique nature and focus on craftsmanship which results
in designs with individuality and a long-lasting design with an edge.

The Vernacular
In a March 14, 1939 letter John O'Hara complained to New Yorker editor William Maxwell:
Then the next proof has a query about cribs. Now how many people know that a crib meant a kind of whorehouse? They exist in only a few places - Reno, New Orleans ... on the other hand ... crib is a derogatory term for a night club, like flea-bag for hotel. I wish to hell there would be an end to this quibbling about my use of the vernacular. Even if people don't get it at first, they will. I was the first person ever to do a piece about double talk, and God knows a lot of people still don't know what it is, but that was several years ago that I did a piece (in The New Yorker), and several things in that piece have become established slang. It is a point of artistry with me. I like being first in these things, but you-all make me nervous.
On March 14, 1964 "The Victim" was published. The New Yorker. The Horse Knows the Way. Gibbsville, Pa.
Here's the opening paragraph.
One night Leonard J. Kanzler was on his way home from work - he was a pharmacist at Smith's drug store and it was his turn to close up on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays - and a man stepped out from behind a chestnut tree and blocked his path. "Put up your hands," the man said.
Cathy Fiorillo, Professor of Theatre at Penn State (Schuykill Haven) adapted and directed this short story and three others as one act plays. In July 2008 Jenny and I saw this production at a dinner-theatre event in Pine Grove, about twelve miles southwest of Pottsville. We loved it.
The three other stories were "Afternoon Waltz," "The Hardware Man," and "The House on the Corner."
Cathy Fiorillo also condensed the 847 page From the Terrace into a ninety minute play. We haven't seen it.

Bathroom Remodeling Project
Some of you who read this blog have seen our home in East Grand Rapids. For those who have not been to our house, it is an unusual property for this city as it has a very deep backyard. Most of the homes near us have much smaller yards than ours. The land upon which our home sits is what gives the property its value. The two bathrooms in the house are 1960s vintage and they have been telling us since we moved in almost 7 years ago that they needed a facelift. Well, things have finally settled down enough for us to move ahead with Phase One, the remodeling of the main bathroom. We settled on a contractor and found out after we started negotiations with them that the owner is a former Navy Supply Corps Officer! I suppose that it is not surprising that we liked this company. We signed a contract a few weeks ago and today we went to the design center and selected the hardware for the cabinets. The production manager told us that they expect to start the demolition of the current bathroom on 6 December. He is hoping to complete the project in about two weeks. They also gave us a discount for letting them do the work in December, which is usually a slow month for work for them. Dee and Samson and I are not going anywhere for the month so it was a logical fit to "let" them do the work and take the discount. Look for more updates and photos from the demolition and construction on this blog.

Why Do Children Get Sick?
Marina Kumsieva in Russian
All thoughts and emotions constitute energoinformational bodies which work in a certain way, influencing one's condition and health and participating in the formation of his or her real-life situations.
A baby under 12 months has a strong energetical bond with his mother. Which means that their bioenergy makes up a whole. All mother's excitements and anxieties affect baby's condition. After 12 months tighter energetical bonds between the son and his mother and between the daughter and her father appear, which is necessary for the child's harmonious well-being. The woman is energetically arranged in a way that she mainly receives energy of the Earth and the man – energy of the Space. It is only the connection between the man and the woman that forms the well-balances system, which receives energy and information from the Earth and the Space.
At the same time it also doesn't exclude certain energy bonds between the daughter and her mother and the son and his father.
In all these cases, the child is the weakest part of the bond both physically and energetically. Everything that happens to baby's parents, especially their emotional state, affects his or her condition and health.
So, for example, parents' conflicts with each other or their coworkers etc., can, first of all, lead to their child getting cold-related diseases. Big fights and strong disapproval cause tonsillitis. Resentment and intolerance to somebody or something can lead to lung diseases etc.
Children are weaker than their parents and their physical body takes up the most part of negative energy-informational influence. They get metabolic disturbance and decrease in immunity and as a result child gets sick.
When a child is sick it is necessary:
– to analyze all the conflict situations occurring in parents' life (at home or at work);
– to get rid of all the hard feelings, grievances, fears and emotional stresses;
– to try to understand and accept a situation and people, analyzing them from the point of view of the outsider, without emotions;
– to draw conclusions from the received experience: where you (parents) have made a mistake and what should you do in similar case.
Reliable protection for the newborn child is breast milk with the help of which mother's immunity is transferred to the child. It is also good for the stomach, because it stimulates the digestive process. It is desirable to breastfeed as long as it is possible. There are cases of breastfeeding until the baby is 2 or older. Thus the child doesn't get sick during practically the whole period of time. Even the small portion of breast milk received at night or in the morning reduces dramatically baby's chance to become sick.
When the child reaches the age of 7-12, he or she becomes more independent energetically from their parents. This is usually a period when children stop to get sick so often. Their immunity increases and level of health stabilizes.
One more important factor causing weakness of immune system properties the conditions of pre-natal development of a fetus (see "Baby: to be or not to be…?").

what would keep fuel pump relay from turning on all fuses good and fuel ifs switch is reset
car cranks do not hear fuel pump turn on car does not start. does inertia fuel switch make
a noise if it has been set? is there a way to see if fuel is getting to engine?
1 Answer
switch does not make noise you have to press it to see if its tripped. if there is not a valve on the fuel rail to check fuel pressure then it has a sensor on the fuel rail. you will need a scan tool to see if the sensor is showing fuel pressure or not. you can find a fuel line and take it off see if anything comes out. or take it somewhere and get it looked at by a pro. no offense but it doesn't sound like you know much about cars.

Well the Rush concert in Houston is in the rear-view mirror and I am feeling it. There were so many things of note from my trip last night to Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion. First of all, the concert started on time. No opening act, just Rush and they hit the stage for the first set at 7:45 pm. On first seeing Alex, Neil, and Geddy, I thought, "Man, these guys look old!" Then I realized that I first saw Rush in concert over 15 years ago and one of the guys with me saw them first 21 years ago which meant we were all old. I mean, there were a lot of bald heads in the crowds and one bald head on stage. Nice Alex! Plus there were folks in button-down shirts and slacks, a clear indicator that they had just come from work. Second, throughout the 3+ hour show, (the band took a 20 minute intermission) everyone stood up the entire time — but nobody was jumping up and down. Too old for that!
Third, our seats were on the 6th row — the closests I've ever been to the stage — and I left the concert with a greater appreciation of Alex Lifeson's guitar playing. Neil and Geddy have long been hailed as two of the greatest musicians to ever pick up their respective instruments, but now I consider Alex equally as great. Certainly this appreciation is aided by my emerging guitar playing.
Fourth, I never realized how much the music you listen to (especially in your formative years) shapes you. As I was singing lyrics I hadn't sang or heard in years, I was struck by how deeply those lyrics have shaped the way I see the world (though I'm not an atheist, as are the boys in the band). However, it was Rush's lyrics that urged me to be introspective, compassionate, and socially-conscious. I'm grateful for that.
Fifth, it was nice to see a band that is comprised of real musicians. Throughout the show there was no unnecessary hype (save 2 minutes of dancing girls which was kinda silly). Just music and good music at that!
Interestingly they played half of the"Permanent Waves" album, which was released on January 1, 1980.
All-in-all it was a great night. Fabulous show! Many thanks to my friend Andrew for the tix and great night. By the way, I did oversleep this morning. I went to bed at 1:30am, but made it to work on time, nevertheless.
Song That Didn't Make The Set List That I Wish Had:
1. Anything from "Presto"
2. La Villa Strangiato
3. Trees
4. Mystic Rhythms (My high school senior quote comes from this song)
5. Force Ten
6. Stick It Out
7. Nobody's Hero

Dale Haney is Dedman's 2016 Alumnus of the Year
Dale Haney, a 1971 hotel and restaurant administration alumnus, has been selected as the Dedman School of Hospitality's 2016 Alumnus of the Year. He will be honored in the fall at the 2016 Society of Hosts Alumni Luncheon on Oct. 27.
Haney is no stranger to students at the Dedman School of Hospitality. For the last 15 years, the president of Gate Hospitality Group has been sharing his expertise in the management of exclusive resorts and private clubs as a guest speaker in their classes.
In his role as Gate's president, Haney oversees all management of several top northeast Florida properties — the AAA Five Diamond-rated Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, the AAA Four Diamond-rated Lodge & Club at Ponte Vedra Beach, as well as the Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club and The River Club. In addition, he serves as president for Ponte Vedra Club Realty and Stockton Property Management Company.
"Dale is a great choice for recognition as our 2016 alumnus of the year," said Bob Brymer, Dedman's Cecil B. Day Professor of Lodging Management. "Not only is he highly regarded in the industry with a history of leading successful hospitality organizations, but he has been a loyal supporter of the Dedman School of Hospitality."
In addition to Haney's guest appearances on FSU's campus, students and alumni recognize him from internships they have garnered at his clubs. "Dedman interns are always well prepared with solid interviewing skills, proper attire and great motivation," he said. "We hire approximately five to 10 interns a year. Currently, we have nine on staff."
All Florida State University hospitality alumni and current majors are invited to the October luncheon to celebrate the career and accomplishments of Dale Haney (see below). Learn more about his more than 35 years in the hospitality industry.
Kim named No. 3 worldwide in hospitality research impact

The 2015 study measured faculty research productivity based on four criteria—quality, quantity, consistency and longevity—to distinguish the best in hospitality research. The study analyzes research published from 2001 to 2010.
In addition to his research, Kim directs Dedman's new online MBA with a major in Hospitality and Tourism Management (MBA-HTM). He holds a Ph.D. from Purdue University and has taught at universities within the U.S. and abroad. His research and teaching interests include revenue management, pricing, brand management, customer relationship management and hospitality finance. Learn more about the new MBA-HTM.
Ohlin takes on new role as director of Strategic Development
After almost eight years of service as director of the Dedman School of Hospitality, Jane Boyd Ohlin has moved into a new role as the school's first director of Strategic Development.
"I'll be able to focus on the things I love most," said Ohlin. "I'll be assisting with development and alumni relationships, focusing on our European programs in Switzerland and at Krems University in Austria, and other projects that benefit the school in addition to continuing to teach and move forward with my research interests."
Ohlin, who is the Robert H. Dedman Professor of Hospitality Management, has taught at the school since 1989. She also is an alumnus, having earned her Bachelor of Science in hospitality and restaurant management in 1979 before receiving a Juris Doctorate from the FSU College of Law.
Don Farr, the Don & Frances Veller Professor of Professional Golf Management and interim assistant dean for Academic Affairs, has agreed to serve as the interim director of the Dedman School of Hospitality.
"I am very pleased that Don will be serving in this capacity as he is very knowledgeable about the unique aspects of operating our vibrant community," said Ohlin. "Don and I have a history of working well together, and I look forward to our continued, positive working relationship."
Popeyes' CEO receives Cecil B. Day Ethics Award
Cheryl Bachelder, CEO of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, was awarded the 2016 Cecil B. Day Ethics Award before several hundred gathered for the company's annual corporate kickoff in Atlanta on Jan. 19. Presenting the award were Robert Brymer, the Dedman School's Cecil B. Day Professor of Lodging Management, and sons of the late Cecil B. Day, Clint and Peyton Day.
Each year, the Dedman School of Hospitality confers the award upon a highly successful hospitality industry leader who is recognized for ethical leadership. The award was established in 2007 by Day's son, Clint, a 1982 Florida State graduate, in conjunction with his family, the university and the National Restaurant Association. It honors the memory of Day, whose success building the Days Inn chain reflects his faith-based values that led him to treat everyone with dignity and respect.
After years of declining sales and stock prices, Popeyes appointed Bachelder as CEO in 2007. Relations between the company and its franchise owners were strained at the time. By 2014, Bachelder had, by all accounts, led a remarkable turnaround of the company resulting in industry-leading performance for franchise owners and shareholders. In her book, "Dare to Serve: How to Drive Superior Results by Serving Others," Bachelder takes readers through the transformation of Popeyes and promotes servant leadership as a path to superior performance.
"By creating a workplace where everyone is treated with respect while challenging them to perform with excellence, Cheryl Bachelder shares the values exemplified by the late Cecil B. Day," said Brymer.
Past recipients of the Cecil B. Day Award include Robert B. Rowling, TRT Holdings, Inc.; Joel Manby, Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation; Eric Affeldt, ClubCorp; J.W. "Bill" Marriott Jr., Marriott International Inc.; Richard Rivera, Real Mex Restaurants Inc.; Michael Kaufman, National Restaurant Association; Horst Schulze, Capella Hotel Group; Craig Miller, SONIC Drive-in; and Truett Cathy, Chick-fil-A Inc.

35 interns experience the 2016 Masters Tournament
While the world's greatest professional golfers were teeing off at Augusta National for the 2016 Masters Tournament, 35 Florida State students were behind the scenes sharing in the excitement. They were interns hand-picked for key positions by Augusta National executives at an invitation-only event hosted by Dedman's Global Club Management program earlier this semester. The substantial number of interns hired this year reflects the growth of a long-standing relationship between Augusta National and the school as past interns have proven themselves and benefited from the experience.
Seminole Tribe hosts student Hard Rock Casino tour
The Seminole Tribe of Florida hosted 28 hospitality majors from Dr. Nathan Line's Integrated Marketing for Hospitality class on a two-day familiarization tour of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. On the first day, students enjoyed a networking reception held at Kuro, the casino's innovative, new-style Japanese restaurant. The second day included presentations by both property- and corporate-level executives and a behind-the-scenes tour of operations, food and beverage, and special events departments. "The trip was a great success," said Line, an assistant professor. "Our students represented us with the utmost of professionalism. Several executives expressed how impressed they were with our group—from their overall poise to the quality and insight of their questions."

A. Florida State's hospitality program gave me a strong foundation in hospitality and business that accelerated my career. Something that one of my teachers, either Ashby Stiff or Bob Brymer, said about the value of hospitality to people has always grounded me: In the hotel industry, people spend some of their most memorable times with you. It might be at a wedding, a honeymoon, a vacation or just on a road trip with friends. These are the events in life that people live for and will always remember. As an hotelier, you can make those memories truly special.
Q. Why did you choose your profession?
A. I had to do a report as a junior in high school on "What do you want to be?" and hotel manager caught my interest. After that, it was looking at the best hospitality schools in the nation, and Florida State ranked very high. It was a natural fit.
Q. What is/was your ultimate career goal?
A. I want to do something that makes an impact on the industry. I have that in my current role, but I am by no means done with learning and growing.
Q. Is there anything you wish you had done differently?
A. Not much, but I do wish I had completed an MBA. I believe it would have accelerated my career.
Q. What is the best part of your job?
A. I get to work with people from all over the world, learn new cultures and work on really challenging issues that impact my company and the hotel industry.
Q. What do you consider your greatest accomplishments?
A. My sons, Nic and Drew. No matter how much success you have in other areas of your life, watching your children learn and grow into great people is extremely rewarding.
Q. What did you learn in college that has helped you to succeed?
A. Get involved, listen and understand, be a part of the solution, work hard and see things through. This works in school, work, family and life, in general.
Q. What advice do you have for COB students interested in your field?
A. Hospitality is a fantastic industry and I would highly recommend it. Hotels are dynamic, ever-changing, a ton of hard work and a lot of fun. You can't go wrong in pursuing this career.
Q. Anything else you would like to say?
A. Go Noles!

They say a lot of things about this place. Things only the irrational and superstitious would believe. It is a forest, and forests often conjure fear in the uneducated, or so I thought. It is easy to dismiss other people's experiences with the unknown when you haven't seen what they have. Until now, I never believed in anything I couldn't see or touch. I thought everything that exists would one day become knowable, that it was only a matter of time. I used to not believe in true good or evil. They were mere constructs of human cultures, and ultimately the human mind. There is an evil here. The first thing I saw, as many others have reported, was a dark shadowy mass.
Knowing the brain is very capable of conjuring phantoms that aren't real, I ignored it and continued along the hiking trail. Tall spruce and white pines grew beside me, and the nearly-full moon shone, adding to the eerie, Halloween-like atmosphere. Yet, it was Spring and All Hallows Eve wasn't even close. Since things were feeling spooky, when I saw the shadow-mass run across the trail, I told myself it wasn't real. The mood of the evening was playing tricks on my mind, tapping into the primal fear that still remains in all of us.
I decided it was late and probably time to make a fire for warmth, and I hoped to eventually fall asleep next to it. The forest grew colder by the minute, and goosebumps ran down my body. I grabbed some tinder and kindling, along with a few small logs, and piled them up to make a fire. Once the fire was lit, I held my hands over the flames. I felt as if thousands of unfriendly eyes were watching me, but there was nothing there. Again, I told myself I was being paranoid and silly as I stirred the fire some more. The flames started dying down more than I liked, so I got up to gather some more wood. Armed with a hatchet, I set out. My heart raced as I hastily searched the nearby woods for something dry and large enough to keep the hungry flames fed for a while. There were a few big branches on the ground that looked like they would suffice, and after several hits, the wood was in short enough chunks for my fire.
Beside me there was a rush and leaves crushing beneath something. Thinking it was probably a deer or something, I paid it no mind, but then whatever it was let out a terrible gurgling growl. I tripped over my feet, gazing into the wilderness. I didn't see anything, so I gathered my wood and ran back to my fire. The flames came to life upon receiving the parched logs. I threw in a handful of leaves for fun, but as the fire grew, more shadows began to dash back and forth overhead, no longer bothering to conceal themselves. Terrible screeching and hissing echoed around me. I felt surrounded and unsure of myself. Should I run? Should I stay by the fire? Either decision was really no decision at all, so I stayed and waited, hoping the shadows of fear would pass. Instead they multiplied, blacking out the stars and moon in the sky. Hideous low-pitched laughter came from some, while others vocalized animalistic sounds. It was strange and terrifying at the same time, mostly because I didn't know what these shadows were or what they wanted.
I kept my head angled upward, huddled as close to the fire as I safely could, watching those things. Then, I saw an army of them amassing before me, taking vague shapes of people while still retaining their black, non-corporeal appearance. I knew that was time to leave. Not bothering to douse the fire, I grabbed my hatchet and flew through the forest as quickly as I could. To my left there was a loud "snap," and a tree toppled over. Distant laugher echoed, sending chills down my spine. Indescribable sounds were everywhere. I kept running, not even sure where, because I had already lost my way, but that didn't matter in the moment. Getting away from those things that haunted the woods was the only thing I cared about. It was around the time that I realized I was lost that I also remembered the campfire I made was still burning. I slowed enough to safely check behind me. The faint light in the distance told me the fire was still contained, and for a moment I was torn between putting out the flames and continuing to run. My internal debate didn't last long. I don't know how long I ran, but the forest thinned, and I saw a town in the distance: my town. The ghastly beings that tormented me were gone and the forest was still and silent. Then the wind returned, and the soothing chirping of crickets made me wonder if anything I just experienced was real, but I know that it was, despite what I wanted to believe.

SFJAZZ Founder and Executive Artistic Director Randall Kline may not be an avid ferry rider, but he certainly appreciates the relaxed and leisurely pace of ferry transport.
Published: September, 2017
SFJAZZ Founder and Executive Artistic Director Randall Kline may not be an avid ferry rider, but he certainly appreciates the relaxed and leisurely pace of ferry transport. Perfect, we might add, for streaming jazz while taking in the stunning waterfront views.
SFJAZZ presents more than 350 concerts a year to more than 150,000 fans. Located at 201 Franklin Street in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco, the LEED Gold certified, award-winning, three-story SFJAZZ Center—designed by noted San Francisco-based architect Mark Cavagnero—offers 35,000 square feet of jazzy space. The structure, debuted in 2013, features the state-of-the-art Robert N. Miner Auditorium, which has flexible seating from 350 to 700; the 100-seat multi-purpose Joe Henderson Lab; rehearsal spaces; a digital learning lab; South at SFJAZZ, a bar/café from renowned chef Charles Phan of the Slanted Door; a retail shop/box office; and the SFJAZZ administrative offices.
Bay Crossings: To give you some idea of just the kind of trivia our readers enjoy, a subscriber recently wrote in that she was fascinated by the Andrew Sister's Ferry Boat Serenade (1940) written by Harold Adamson and set to the music of Eldo di Lazzaro. The original lyrics were penned by Mario Panzeri for a song recorded in Italian (La Piccinina) and Mr. di Lazzaro. Can you suggest any other jazz-flavored number that might appeal to our audience?
Randall Kline: SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director and bassist Christian McBride (who also hosts NPR's Jazz Night in America) will perform on October 5 at the SFJAZZ Center. The program consists of Dvořák's String Quintet No. 2 in G Major as well as Schubert's Piano Quintet in A Major, D.667 ("Trout"), with artists including: violinist Ian Swensen, the Isaac Stern Chair of Violin at San Francisco Conservatory; Evan Price, violinist with the Hot Club of San Francisco and Turtle Island Quartet; Carla Maria Rodrigues, principal violist of the SF Opera Orchestra; cellist Jennifer Kloetzel, founding member of the Cypress String Quartet; and GRAMMY-nominated pianist Robert Koenig.
BC: The structural values contained in the three-story SFJAZZ Center seem almost nautical. Do you care to reflect on this observation, or suggest another aspect of the Center that is evocative of ferry travel?
Kline: We built the SFJAZZ Center around the premise of creating a space where the music can fully realize its capacity to transport listeners.
BC: Can you tell us more about the B-Side café? Looks intriguing.
Kline: The b-side of an album is the unexpected and often the cool option to explore. B-Side is as integrated into the center in a way that the offerings, the style, the libations, food, and the relaxed decor at B-Side fit with the architecture and acoustics of the Center. Hanson Li and Salt Partners Group team have done an amazing in creating the right space for our audiences before, during and after concerts.
BC: Having once served on the board of the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau (now San Francisco Travel), you have a keen understanding of what tourists and visitors are seeking. How do you make them aware of SFJAZZ?
Kline: We strive to program the highest level of art in the best environment possible. This is the top venue of its kind in the world. We are recognized for our excellence by word of mouth and by the press—those two avenues are the surest way to attracted visitors.
BC: The ferry is arguably the only form of local public transportation that features a full bar for adults. By the same token, SFJAZZ permits patrons to carry adult beverages into the performances. Does this suggest that the two share a certain measure of trust and sophistication?
Kline: Yes, I agree.
BC: What major new jazz discoveries have you made recently? Rising stars?
Kline: Every day provides new discoveries. A new rising star, at least in the United States, is British jazz trio GoGo Penguin, who will be at SFJAZZ Center's Joe Henderson Lab on September 20 and 21.
BC: Finally, can you recommend other resources for our readers? Books, recordings websites, to broaden their exposure and understanding this great art form?
Kline: I recommend Ted Gioia's book How to Listen to Jazz, and you can check out SFJAZZ's playlists on Apple Music. The SFJAZZ blog is also full of interesting tidbits of information. Most importantly: Go see live music!

That's an icicle coming out of our garden hose connection. Good thing we don't need to water the garden.
Here, look at it again.
An unexpected side effect from this time without water is my new found fondness for rubber gloves. I'm wearing a pair now as I type. They are awesome. Doing dishes with ice cold water, followed by the rinse cycle of boiling water from the stove top has resulted in my having hands that no well educated, 42 year old woman from a well established family in the west should have. If that sounds snobby that's because it is. When I chose this life that I'm living I've rolled easily with the jobs I've had to do like repairing poop tubes with duct tape, carrying water so I can wash, and chopping wood so I can stay warm. But I never imagined that it would involve having hands that are so dry and chapped that they snag my knitting. (I've long ago given up my fondness for manicures. Now they are just a waste of money...maybe they always have been, but I digress). My friend Christine recently gifted me a box of rubber gloves that have now become all the fashion rage in Maberga. I started wearing them just to do the dishes, but now I keep them on all the time. They feel really nice. Much nicer than my actual hands. When I told David of my attraction to this new accessory he just said, "and that's when we knew." When I'm an old woman I shall wear rubber gloves....all the time.
PS. I've just read this post to david as a check before I hit "publish". His only comment... "do you chop wood?" No, dear. I don't chop wood. You know I don't chop wood. Poetic licence exists in blogging too.

Decided: November 10, 1986.
STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.WILLIAM BARRON, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT
On appeal from Superior Court, Law Division, Camden County.
Dreier and Shebell. The opinion of the court was delivered by Shebell, J.A.D.
[214 NJSuper Page 48]
Defendant, William Barron, was convicted by a jury of unlawful possession of methamphetamine (N.J.S.A. 24:21-20a) and unlawful possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute (N.J.S.A. 24:21-19a). The two convictions were merged and defendant was sentenced to a custodial term of three years. He appeals the denial of his motion to suppress and his conviction, alleging:
Point I. Judge Rossetti erred in denying the pre-trial motion to suppress the evidence seized during the search of Florence Wiley's apartment.
Point II. Judge Palese's refusal to grant defense counsel's request for additional time for trial preparation constituted a denial of defendant's right to counsel under the 6th Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Point III. The prosecutor's comments regarding the lack of evidence produced by the defense improperly prejudiced the jury.
This court when reviewing a warrant duly issued by a judicial officer need only determine whether substantial evidence in the record supports the decision to issue the warrant. Massachusetts v. Upton, 466 U.S. 727, 728, 104 S. Ct. 2085, 2085-2086, 80 L. Ed. 2d 721, 724 (1984). A search pursuant to a warrant is assumed to be valid. State v. Schumann, 156 N.J. Super. 563, 565 (App.Div.1978). The affidavits supporting the warrant must provide a substantial basis for determining the existence of probable cause by setting forth legitimate information and not merely conclusory statements which lack an articulated factual basis. Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 239, 103 S. Ct. 2317, 2332, 76 L. Ed. 2d 527, 548-549, reh'g den. 463 U.S. 1237, 104 S. Ct. 33, 77 L. Ed. 2d 1453 (1983). Whether a warrant is based upon probable cause depends upon the totality of the circumstances set forth in the affidavit when viewed in a practical and common sense way; the question is: does the warrant establish that there is a fair probability that contraband
[214 NJSuper Page 49]
or evidence of a crime will be found in a particular place? Gates, 462 U.S. at 238, 103 S. Ct. at 2332, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 548. The earlier two-prong test of Aguilar v. Texas, 378 U.S. 108, 84 S. Ct. 1509, 12 L. Ed. 2d 723 (1964) and Spinelli v. United States, 393 U.S. 410, 89 S. Ct. 584, 21 L. Ed. 2d 637 (1969) was seen to cause an overly technical dissection of the record and its contents, which detracted from the reviewing court's function of determining whether the issuing judge had a substantial basis for concluding that probable cause existed. Gates, 462 U.S. at 234-238, 103 S. Ct. at 2330-2332, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 545-548. No reported decision of an appellate court of this State has adopted Gates; however, we view the Gates test as the more practical and sensible approach to determining probable cause. Cf. State v. Southard, 144 N.J. Super. 501 (App.Div.1976). See State v. Novembrino, 200 N.J. Super. 229, 233 n. 2 (App.Div.1985), leave to appeal granted 101 N.J. 305 (1985) (Appellate Division declined to decide whether the Gates standard applied).
Two Gloucester City police officers on October 14, 1983 gave affidavits in support of the warrant. They related that on numerous occasions they had received from private citizens as well as other Gloucester City police officers information that defendant resided at the residence sought to be searched and that he was selling drugs there. The officers asserted they had heard from two independent sources that defendant had attempted to sell "P2P, the main ingredient in the production of methamphetamine" in January of 1983. The fact that two separate sources provided this information gives it credence in light of defendant's arrest approximately five months earlier for an assault which was related by a "very reliable source" to be connected to a drug related debt. Further, defendant was arrested in June 1983 and was awaiting grand jury action on a charge of possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
The officers also averred that they received information from Patrolman Billingham of the Gloucester City Police Department that on the weekend before the warrant was issued defendant was present at the apartment of Theresa Moring and Harry
[214 NJSuper Page 50]
Fox at 119 Hughes Avenue, Gloucester City, and was in possession of one-quarter pound of believed methamphetamine. Defendant allegedly asked Harry, a known drug abuser and distributor, to distribute the methamphetamine. This information was specific as to dates, place and quantity of a particular drug. The statement does not shed light on the manner in which the information was obtained; however, it does provide a sufficiently detailed description of the criminal activity for the issuing judge to have concluded that there was a reasonable likelihood that the information was reliable. Cf. Spinelli, 393 U.S. at 416, 89 S. Ct. at 589, 21 L. Ed. 2d at 643-644. In addition, the warrant noted that during the month of October 1983 an individual was arrested who gave information that defendant was distributing quarter ounces of ...

Aiaiai tma-1
AIAIAI are one of the up and coming manufacturers in the headphone world. With a far superior sound quality than the fashion brands, AIAIAI have managed to gather a large following amongst DJs, quality 'phones that surpass what is available from the likes of Dr Dre and Fiddy.
The TMA-1 series offers a range of headphones from the Beatport to the Young Guru, they have studio quality, that is a strong tight bass but not overbassy, beautiful mids and a sublime treble.
I tested a few at BPM a few weeks ago and was mightily impressed. The Young Guru special edition has only had 4,000 made worldwide, but offers a ridiculously comfortable and brilliant sounding package. You could listen to them fro hours from Claptone to Tracy Chapman, these headphones work.
They are up there with the very best, and by that I mean the Audio-Technicas, Beyerdynamics of this world...but with perhaps a little more street cred.

Faceless bureaucrats are tipping claimants into hunger.
so says Julia Rampen in New Statement (The Staggers)
So it's official. If anyone still doubted that benefit sanctions are linked to food bank usage, a study by the University of Oxford and the Trussell Trust has found "a strong, dynamic relationship exists" between the number of sanctions in local authorities, and the number of adults receiving emergency food parcels.

Well after I raced this in 2010 I was pretty sure that I would never return to Mt Campbell, then last Sunday night I printed off my entry form for the 2012 ANZ mountain running champs for some unknown reason….
I figured it would be a good test of where I am at and a good hard blow out- that it was!
Post race I did a few interviews for the BCR story that is now on-line and it was great catching up with people as well as meeting a heap of new folks. On the car ride down I was lucky enough to catch up with Jono (who didn't race because of knee surgery) and Antonelle who cleaned up the open woman's race. Super nice and very interesting couple- there was a lot of geeky Salomon shoe talk….
It was a quick turn around, after prize giving I missioned home, getting back to Castle Hill after 11pm- made the run up Mt Campbell seem easy!

- Have I ever mentioned that I have arthritis in my left arm? Seven years ago, I
was thrownfell off of a horse and ended up breaking my radial head {AKA, elbow}. It was a pretty bad break and the bone actually rotated, which meant surgery. And arthritis. Anyhow, I'm not sure if it's the hot, humid and rainy weather or what, but it's been acting up badly lately.
- I know firsthand how important it is to just have time to yourself after having a baby, but I'm trying to come up with an excuse to go love on baby Henry again soon.
- If you are needing new clothes, check out the mall NOW. We found some amazing deals over the weekend - up to 80 percent off at NY&Co., and great deals at TCP for Cooper as well. I scored these awesome pants for less than $10! In fact, I walked out with a full bag spending just under $50!
- Sometimes, taking a day off work just isn't worth it. Which I still did about 4 hours of work this week, so that's totally not fair! And, I'm helping with a golf tournament later this week so it's been crazy finalizing everything for it, not to mention work in general. Oh, and at 4 p.m. yesterday we finally set the groundbreaking date for the big project I've been working on. So life has been a bit hectic to say the least.
- I'm kinda wanting a new blog design, but not wanting to shell out big $$ for it. Should I attempt to do on my own? Is there anyone out there who is inexpensive? Honestly, I just want simple ... like a white background and cute headers.
- I am so, so excited for Big Brother to start back up tonight!
- My little sweetheart turned 19 months on Sunday. Even thought he wasn't feeling well, Mommy made his favorite meal and that made everything better!
- Today is your last chance to enter for a free canvas!

New US Tactic: Kill Hundreds of Civilians, Then Blame ISIS
Mission accomplished
It really works!
Yes, according to an interesting new string theory being peddled by our glorious media, ISIS/Qatar/ISIL/whatever literally forced the United States to bomb densely populated areas in Mosul.
And even though the U.S. only uses high precision, laser-guided freedom munitions, many civilians have died. For freedom, of course.
You think we're joking? Shame on you:
During her questioning in the House Armed Services Committee hearing today, U.S. Representative Martha McSally (AZ-02) strongly pushed back against the implication that the U.S. Military, due to alleged relaxed Rules of Engagement (ROE), is responsible for increased civilian casualties in the fight against ISIS. With the credibility of her 26 years in the Air Force and in-depth understanding of the targeting process and ROE, she unraveled the flawed logic and put the blame where it belongs—on ISIS.
During the hearing, Rep. McSally told CENTCOM Commander General Joseph Votel that the Obama administration's overly restrictive targeting rules actually strengthened the Islamic State, leading to more civilian deaths by these terrorists. McSally, a retired Air Force colonel and A-10 pilot, pointed out that ISIS is violating the laws of armed conflict by killing civilians and using human shields.
"ISIS knows that they can use human shields to avoid being hit. It's their air defense system," said Rep. McSally, a former Air Force A-10 squadron commander. "If we allow more terrorists to live to fight another day because of this policy, then we are actually opening up the opportunity for more civilians to be killed by these terrorists."
Contrary to allegations, testimony from Gen. Votel confirmed that the U.S. Military continues to operate under ROE established by the Obama Administration.
Gen. Votel testified that ISIS is exploiting the United States' sensitivity to civilian causalities and he shares Rep. McSally's concern that additional restrictions could lead to more civilians killed by ISIS terrorists.Holy mother of God.
Whatever makes you sleep better at night, America.

Rangers hero Martyn Waghorn claims there is no competition with Celtic ace Leigh Griffiths.
Rangers striker Martyn Waghorn has told the club's official website that he isn't in a competition with Celtic star Leigh Griffiths.
The Gers have enjoyed an impressive first season under manager Mark Warburton, and currently sit eight points clear at the top of the Scottish Championship.
Many players have impressed for Rangers this season, with Wes Foderingham, James Taverneir, Rob Kiernan, Jason Holt and Barrie McKay all producing on a regular basis - but much of the praise will go to striker Martyn Waghorn.
The former Sunderland and Leicester City striker joined the Gers from Wigan Athletic over the summer, and whilst he had shown some promise during his time in England, few could have expected him to score so many goals at Rangers.
With 27 goals in 32 games, Waghorn has been nothing short of a goal machine at Ibrox, and fans have been debating whether he is in fact better than Celtic's Leigh Griffiths.
Griffiths has smashed 29 goals in 36 games for Celtic, and the two sets of supporters have been arguing over who is the better player throughout the season - but Waghorn has told the Rangers official website that he isn't focused on any competition with Griffiths.
"There are a lot of things going on about the competition but my job is a different job to his," said Waghorn. "He's in the Premier League, I'm down here doing my job for Rangers and he's doing his for Celtic. He's doing well for them but I'm doing well for Rangers as well."
"So he's got different aims and objectives for his personal season and I've got mine – I want to get Rangers promoted and I want to get as far in the cups," he added.
Who will score more goals this season, Griffiths or Waghorn?

Please sign up soon if you don't sign up by July 20th at 9:00 P.M, you won't be able to get the exclusive pictures of California, but you will be able to get other exclusive pictures, stories, etc. Thank You!
While I was in California We went to The San Diego Zoo in California. It was really cool, there were so many different animals. Here are just a few picture of The San Diego Zoo.
HAPPY 4th of JULY
Hey everybody I just wanted to say HAPPY 4th of JULY !!!! Sorry it's a little late, I was traveling back from California late on the 4th. Sure, I missed doing the fireworks, but I had a great view of them while we took off, also I got a spectacular view of the city!
Anyway I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July and didn't
lose sight of the real reason to celebrate, to honor our troops and celebrate our independence. I would also like to thank all the troops in the war for protecting our country.
