FP says SEC's Cynk halt came too late for short seller
2014-07-16 09:38 ET - In the News
The Financial Post reports in its Wednesday edition a Wall Street trader said Cynk Technology's 36,000-per-cent stock surge cost him his job. A Bloomberg dispatch to the Post quotes Tom Laresca, a market-maker at New Jersey broker Buckman Buckman & Reid, as saying he was among traders who thought they spotted a scam as the shares jumped to $2.25 (U.S.) last month from pennies. He sold it short last week around $6 (U.S.). Mr. Laresca figured the Securities and Exchange Commission would suspend trading, sending the price toward zero. Cynk describes itself as a social-network service. It has no revenue and one employee. "The stock looked worthless," Mr. Laresca said. Instead of falling, however, the price more than doubled the next day, July 9, starting the squeeze. Market-makers who had sold the shares short got nervous and scrambled to buy them to close their positions, driving the price even higher. The SEC stopped trading two days later, citing concerns about the accuracy of information in the marketplace and "potentially manipulative transactions." That was too late, Mr. Laresca said, adding he resigned Tuesday after his firm cut his ability to hold positions. He declined to say what the trades cost.

Every now and then I chuck up a review for a recent (or maybe not so recent) video game.
Saturday, 7 May 2011
Portal 2
Portal 2 had the enormous task of taking a fantastic little game and turning it into a full length narrative. Lets see how it held up.
While not being the most spectacular game I've seen on the 360, it had some decently impressive environments and the variation from clinically white test areas to a worn down, rusty, piping area. Aside from the environment this game has little to model graphically, no cutscenes, no character models, so there is nothing more to say on this subject.
Puzzles. (takes place of story)
Most Games don't get a section on puzzles alone, but as it is the only thing Portal is about I had to bring it in.
At the start of the game the puzzle system was straightforward, simple to understand. You knew where you had to get and you would figure out how to open the door. While most of them proved easy it was still enjoyable.
Then the game shifts to the next stage, slogging through the innards of the facility. This was rather disappointing as half the time your just looking for that damn white slab of wall to put your portal on and you're not always clearly shown where the exit is and at times it can be frustrating. While more difficult, it was kinda annoying.
Overall there were some clever designs and interesting challenges, but tended to be too easy.
In co-op it was a little more fun, being able to play with 4 portals, but two minds working on it made most of the puzzles too easy.
Not much to put here, you shoot a portals at walls and go through/make other things go through. It does what it needs to do competently and effectively. Physics may not be realistic but is constant throughout.
Amusing quips and monologues given throughout the game manage to keep a small smile on your face for most of the game. Voice overs, while obviously not being to intensive, are excellent. Portal gun sounds are, well, portal gun sounds. Only thing missing is proper impact sounds from falling objects, those were kinda limpwristed..
Enjoyable, good entertainment for a few hours. Great for playing with a buddy, but practically no replayablity as you already know all the solutions. It stand up very well compared to the first Portal, but doesn't quite beat it out despite much longer development and a much larger game.

I can see the end in sight! I am 13 days from being back home with everyone that I am missing like crazy!
I am really hoping to push through some barriers this week, and focus on reaching my goal. I am feeling really good about these next two weeks, and honestly can't believe what I've already accomplished!
Today I spent the entire day relaxing. I got up for breakfast but kept my PJ's on because I knew I was going to get right back under the covers when I got finished. I read for a little bit, took a nap, and then it was time for dinner. There are a lot of new people here this week, and I am really hoping they have a good energy. I have learned that the newbies can either make the atmosphere motivating, or can kill it with negativity. Last week's group was awesome, so there is some high expectations riding on this week's.
It's time to open my Week 5 gift, since technically my week starts on Sunday!
Awe, it's a magnet with a saying about being friends forever! Thank you Erin and Carlea, I love it! It will definitely be going on the fridge and probably holding up a picture of Carlea! I can't wait to be back home either, I am missing you guys so much! And I am looking forward to going shopping too! Love you both!

Big Breakfast
Last weekend, I made myself a special "big breakfast" without bacon, ham or sausage. It has two slices of toasted bread, baked beans, sauteed mushroom, stir-fry French beans and what was supposedly to be poached eggs but turned out to be hard-boiled egg. I need more practise and precision to time my poaching to perfection.
It was a filling breakfast and I think it's healthy too!

This is the beginning of the week we would rather not think about.
We have our 2nd scan around the 8th September and Fetal Reduction will occur between 8th/10th if required (Very likely)
Let's not dwell on the negative but remain positive and think about the likelihood that we will be parents to twins next year.
Today is Fathers Day in Australia and it makes me so happy to see the look of happiness in my husbands eyes and the big grin on his face.
Next Friday is my 30th Birthday and we will be celebrating with family and friend on Saturday night. All going well we have decided to share our news. What better reason to celebrate!!!!

Twitter followers of Tony Evans the Football Editor for the Times would have recently been given a real insight into how to pull together the papers supplement, The Game.
It was Sunday 29th April and interestingly Tony Evans began to tweet while working on the supplement.
But then unexpectedly, he mentions a 'huge exclusive' which will later have an effect on previous plans for the paper.
And then after all that work, he had to rip the whole thing up.
Pressure soon took its toll, but 15 minutes late he and his team managed to turned the new supplement around.
And the final front page looked like this:
This small insight into how editors work demonstrates just how adaptable to change they really have to be.

Psychic Dope Slap
Which used to hang here:
Directly above me, fell right on my head. The hanger broke. I let out a yell that brought everyone in the office running. It was quite the sight. I had mud in my hair & ear. My left shoulder was covered, as well as the front & back of my shirt. There was a pile of mud on my carpet. All I could do was laugh. Cathy cleaned most of it up while I shook out my shirt and cleaned up my chair. I was planning on leaving early anyway, now it wasn't by choice.
This event, in and of itself, would be considered a freak accident.
I got some strange looks walking to my car and filling up at the gas station. I was a mess.
I hopped in the shower when I got home. I had to wash my hair twice to get all the mud out. I was sitting on the shower floor, shaving my legs when, the fingernail brush (you know, the ones that have a brush on one side and a pumice stone on the other) fell off the shelf and on my head. I looked up and said out loud "Whats with dropping all this shit on my head?!" Am I so psychically challenged that whoever is trying to get my attention feels it necessary to dope slap me?
This morning I was working at my PC again when an odd sound caught my attention. I looked up at this picture,
That hung here - over my bulletin board:
The picture dropped an inch onto the top of my bulletin board and proceed to fall forward, directly towards me and my monitor. Instinctively, I jumped up and grabbed the frame before it connected with my monitor. Another shout out brought everyone running again. This picture has hung there for 3 years or so and hasn't been touched since it was put up.
Upon further inspection, we discovered that one of the screws attaching the hanging wire to the frame just pulled right out.
I'm having trouble dismissing these events as coincidences.

Um, Sharfa, ya, does the Mojo (for lack of another term) have your attention now?
Wow, hitting you on the head to get your attention.
Literally :)
Believe in it. I think I do, and moreso now that I've been reading along with you.
- Denise said...
Yeah, that could definitely be other forces at work. But seriously, did they need to give you a concussion almost to say "what's up"?
I'd feel exactly as you would. It's just so bizarre that it couldn't be mere coincidence.
- Magazine Man said...
Have you been to a hospital or clinic recently, with your dad maybe? It's very common for a confused haint to attach themselves to you and follow you home. Happened to a coworker of mine. Mostly, they're just confused and need acknowledgement and direction. You might try to talking to it, like you would a plant, and gently tell it it needs to go home (usually pointing west is the traditional direction). Email me if you need more specific directions. I was planning to blog about my coworkers' experience during my new round of October Moments this fall, but I'll gladly fill you in first.
- KFarmer said...
I think MM has hit the nail on this one too S. It would be interesting if someone took a picture of you (full body shot) to see if they would show up. I've never had one mad at me before for taking their picture but check w/MM before you do. Mine have all been accidental and they just wanted to be in there- maybe just to say hey. Yours sounds like what I call a "prankster".
- Sharfa said...
Melissa & Denise - I should point out that I wasn't hurt by any of the incidents, even when the plant fell on my head, it didn't even leave a bump.I was stunned each time - but not hurt in the least.
MM - No, I haven't been near a hospital or clinic since my Grandfather passed last August and I visited him in the nursing home the day before he passed away, August 8th. Is that pertinent to your theory?
K - we'll take pictures this weekend in Maine, of me & Dad, to see if anything turns up.

A Day to Remember
I woke up this morning and had a feeling it was going to an interesting day, but had no idea it would turn out this way.
Mmmmm. Is that coffee I smell? Bacon? Toast? No way. You've got to be kidding me. Joe never fixes breakfast. I sit up in bed, take a nice long stretch, yawn, throw the covers off, stretch again, yawn again, rub my eyes, and head off to the bathroom to get myself cleaned up.
Still half asleep, I stumble — actually it's more like I drag myself downstairs. And lo and behold what do I see? Joe and Alex in the kitchen fixing breakfast and the kitchen is remarkably clean.
"Mommy, mommy!" Alex exclaims, as he runs over and grabs hold of me, "me and daddy are making you breakfast!"
"Wow! It smells so good! Thank you very much!" I tell Alex as I stoop down and give him a great big hug and kiss.
"Good morning," Joe says, "or rather almost afternoon."
"Good morning." I say with my head slightly tilted to the right and that half shy smile.
"I was wondering when you were going to wake up."
"Yeah, I don't know why I'm so tired." I plop down in the chair at the kitchen table. "I've felt really drained for a couple of weeks now."
"Maybe you should go to the doctor. It has been a while, since you've had a physical."
"Mommy, are you sick?"
"No honey, I'm fine. Just a little tired is all. But I will tell you what I am. . ."
"Hungry! All that food you and daddy fixed smells so good it's making my stomach grumble."
"Alright, hold your ponies," Joe says.
Breakfast was wonderfully delicious and Joe and Alex even cleaned the kitchen, while I sat back and relaxed. It's Saturday and I've got a ton of things to do. You know all the things you could do during the work week — cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, running errands.
One good thing it's Joe's weekend with Alex. Joe and I decided when Alex was born that we have mommy weekend, daddy weekend, and family weekend. The mommy and daddy weekends allows two things: 1) We have individual bonding time with Alex and 2) It allows the other parent to take of him- or herself. And of course our family weekends are always the best. Our last family weekend, we went up to Hunter's Run and camped. On Saturday we went horseback riding and did some fishing. I'm not real big into fishing, but Alex and Joe love it; so I let them have their moment. Sunday we went for bike ride before heading home. It was perhaps one of the best family weekends we had in a long time, simply because it was Alex's first time camping, horseback riding, and riding his bike without the training wheels. I think I smiled more than Alex and maybe even Joe put together.
"So, what do my two favorite men have planned for the day?"
"The zoo!" Alex shouts.
"I love the zoo. I wish I were going!"
"Nope! Nope! Nope! It's just me and dad," Alex says as he grabs hold of Joe's hand. I poke out my lip and Alex in his infinite wisdom and diplomacy comes over, takes my hand, and says, "We can go next week, if you want." Now there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is my child. That's an action and line right out of my playbook. Man, I'm screwed. How in the heck am I going to guilt my child.
"Thanks, sweetheart. You guys better get going it's already late."
"Bye mommy"
"Joe, please don't let him eat too much junk food."
"Yes ma'am. I'll see you later."
"Bye! Have fun!"
I watch them as they back out of the driveway and drive on down the street. Now for me to get myself together and get busy as the day is quickly getting away from me.
First stop the cleaners — easy, in and out.
Second stop the grocery store. Green beans, chicken breast, spinach, salmon, bread, milk, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, raisins, bananas, orange juice, apple juice, lunch meat . . .
As I'm driving back home I feel as though I forgot to do something, but can't figure out what it is. Get home and put the groceries away and get to cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, dusting, and laundry. Well, I think it's pizza is on the dinner menu.
I decide to go lie down, as I am just so horribly tired. It's as though I've been up for days without having gone to sleep. I really have to make that doctor's appointment Monday. I think I feel asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. After about an hour my eyes popped open and I remembered what I forgot. Damn! Forgot to pick up Joe's suit from the tailor. And of course their not open on Sunday. However it does perplex me why Joe doesn't want to pick it up himself, so he can try it on and make sure the alterations were done to his specifications. But that's my husband. I stopped questioning.
As I'm heading back out, Joe calls to let me know he and Alex are on their way back from the zoo. "That was quick."
"Yeah, he got sick and started throwing up."
"You didn't let him have a lot of junk food? Did you?"
"No. He only had a soft pretzel before got sick."
"Okay. I'm on my way to pick up your suit from the tailor and I will be right back. Take his temperature when you get home and get him started drinking some fluids."
I get to the tailor and I'm in and out, which is really unusual. But I'm not complaining. I got a sick child I need to get back to. I call Joe. "I'm on my way back, but before I do I'm going to stop off and get a few things for Alex's upset stomach.
"What was that?" Joe asks.
"I don't know."
Bang! Bang!
"Sounds like a car backfiring", I say.
"No. That's gun fire! Go take cover! Now!"
"Okay. I'll call you back when I'm safe!
"No! You stay on the phone with me!
I look around and I'm not that far from the tailor, so I head back there. I see people running and scattering all around me.
"Oh my god, I think someone was just shot!"
"Hurry! Take cover!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I feel this stinging sensation and feel something warm running down my back. I fall to the ground. "Amanda! Amanda! Where are you? What's going on?" I hear Joe calling my name, but for some reason I can't answer. I try to get to my feet, but my body won't cooperate. What's wrong with me? I try to call out for help, but nothing comes out. I'm lying in the street and I pray someone will come help me, but people keep running past me.
All of a sudden it's really bright and I can't see and the people look like shadows as they run by me. I reach for the phone and put it up to my ear. I still hear Joe calling my name, but I still can't speak.
I love you.
All of sudden it's dark.

With its fund-raising event clocking an unprecedented and, possibly, the highest-ever amount (over Rs 13 crore) donated by the alumni, the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is now ready to fulfil its dream of commissioning new projects and give its campus area an overhaul of sorts.
Among the new facilities to line AMU include a golf course, two sports complexes, stables and revamping of old lecture theaters into smart classrooms.
Among those that it is in the process of finalising – funds for which have already been "confirmed" by the "generous alumni" – include world class museum and a separate auditorium for Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College. "For the first time we were able to convince the donors with concrete plans, judicious use of their money and acknowledgment to them (by engraving their names on a stone plaque)." Lt Gen Zameeruddin Shah, vice-chancellor of AMU, said.
"We still have old stone plaques on our buildings highlighting the (names of) donors. We are following the same practice," he added. About the donors, most of whom are settled abroad, Shah said the maximum amount came from Yusufali M A, chairman and managing director of Lulu Group in UAE. He donated Rs 5 crore for constructing a sports complex for boys. After visiting the campus, he agreed over another donation of Rs 5 crore for the construction of another sports complex – this time for girls.
The famed alumnus was conferred honorary doctorate at the university's convention in March this year. Next in the list of AMU's "generous donors" is Musa Dakri with his 50,000 US dollars. Dakri is a Gujarati businessman settled in US and his donation to help set up a world class museum will find his name forever imprinted in AMU's corridor as the V-C has decided to name the museum after Dakri family.
Other contributors include Aligarh Medical Association of North America —60,000 US dollars for construction of an auditorium in JNMC; Maharashtra-based Allana Group of Companies — Rs 1 crore for renovating Strachey Hall, one of the first buildings to come up at the campus.
Small contributors from UAE, Saudi Arabia and USA, too, donated Rs 1.40 crore to convert old lecture theaters into smart class rooms with provision for online tutorials, writing monitors, projectors, new furniture etc. The fund-raising event also had its "emotional moments". "One person donated her earrings that were auctioned for Rs 11 lakh. The bidder then returned the earrings which will be kept in the museum," the V-C said.

The FBI and Congressional Intelligence Agency Should Investigate Turkish Influence on US Policy
WASHINGTON, D.C –On April 24, 2017, as the Armenian Genocide is commemorated around the world, the Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) stands in solidarity with Armenians and non-Armenians alike in remembering the victims of the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust.
In 1981, President Ronald Reagan stated that "Like the genocide of the Armenians before it, and the genocide of the Cambodians which followed it – and like too many other such persecutions of too many other peoples – the lessons of the Holocaust must never be forgotten." Reagan's statement reflects American's values and is a powerful reminder that words have meaning.
"We appreciate President Trump for recognizing Armenians who lost their lives and using the Armenian term for the Armenian Genocide, yet his statement today demonstrates the need for the FBI and the Congressional Intelligence Committees to do thorough investigations of all the evidence on surreptitious Turkish influence on the U.S government," stated Armenian Assembly Co-Chair Anthony Barsamian and Van Krikorian. "At the time when Christians and minority communities continue to be in imminent danger and under constant attack, the President's statement fails to stand up for human rights and is inconsistent with American values, and represents the same kind of capitulations to Turkish authoritarianism which will cost more lives," the Co-Chairs added.
On April 10th, 84 Members of Congress signed a bi-partisan letter to President Trump urging him to affirm the Armenian Genocide. Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Representative Frank Pallone (D-NJ) spearheaded the letter asking the White House to honor the Untied States' historic leadership in defending human rights and to properly characterize the events of 1915 as a genocide in this year's presidential statement on April 24th.
In addition, Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) sent a letter to President Trump on April 21 and called on him to stand with the Armenian community and commemorate the 102nd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. "April 24th marks the anniversary of the genocide that Turkey sadly continues to deny to this day. Unequivocally affirming the Armenian Genocide would honor more than 1.5 million Armenians who were massacred. It would also serve to remember this proud chapter in America's history of helping to save the survivors," Sen. Markey said.
Earlier this month, the Armenian National Institute (ANI) opened its Armenian Genocide Library in Washington, D.C, giving researchers access to over 5000 publications on the Armenian Genocide and modern Armenian history. In February, ANI launched a Turkish-language version of its popular website documenting the facts and acknowledgements of the Armenian Genocide available at www.turkish.armenian-genocide.org

Today is said to be the end of world according to some interpretations of the ancient Mayan calendar. That we will be facing Armageddon today has become such a cliche that it now comes with a complete commercialized package from a Hollywood flick to various survivalist guidebooks. What form this end for humanity would take, be it in the apocalyptic sense of the New Testament or some transcendent New Age spiritual renewal, is anybody's guess.
Nonetheless, this occasion should serve as the perfect time to reflect on another ending that also captured the imagination of many. Around 400 years ago, before the present brouhaha about Mayan prophecies of doom, the people of Europe precipitated the end of the world for the Dodo, that big, weighty, flightless bird of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The adage "dead as a Dodo" has also become a cliche. But it carries more weight than today's sensationalized non-event.
Before the coming of the first human explorers in the sixteenth century, the Dodo lived a peaceful existence in Mauritius for centuries. Without any predators in the island, the Dodo did not develop fear nor did it need any form of self-defense. With powerful beaks that cracked open nuts for food, the Dodo sat on top of the island's food chain.
This seemingly idle life came to an abrupt end with the arrival of wave upon wave of European Conquistadores as the newcomers hunted down the hapless, defenseless bird by the hundreds. They also brought along animals like rats, dogs, pigs, and monkeys that destroyed the environment, attacked the poor bird, stole their eggs, and competed for limited natural resources.
The Dodo became extinct less than a century after its "discovery" by the European colonizers. However, it also left an indelible mark on the European imagination. It is this tale of how the Dodo came to occupy such a prominent space in Western culture that takes up Clara Pinto-Correia's attention in Return of the Crazy Bird: The Sad, Strange Tale of the Dodo.
Pinto-Correia begins the book by looking at the widespread fascination with strange creatures as found in the maps, myths, and histories of the ancient Greeks and Romans up to literary works like Jonathan Swift's Gulliver Travels, a fascination which set the stage for the attention that the Dodo would later on attract from its 16th Century Euroepan discoverers.
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to set foot on Mauritius. They called the fat clumsy bird that did not run away from men "Doudo," which means crazy in the archaic Portuguese of the sixteenth century. The Dutch, when they arrived in the island, called it "Walckvogel" or disgusting bird because its flesh was tough when cooked and eaten.
Perhaps one of the events that secured the Dodo's place in human history is its having been brought into the ports and royal courts of Europe before its extinction. This way, the Dodo became the topic of various 16th century paintings. It aroused the curiosity of Kings and Emperors, and its remains made their way in museums.
The Dodo later on became the center of debates by taxonomists and naturalists who argued about its classification and characteristics. Carolus Linnaeus gave the Dodo the scientific name of Didus ineptus, meaning "clumsy dodo." The German Paul Heinrich Gerhard Moehring meanwhile gave it the name Raphus cucullatus, which meant "cuckoo-like bird with far rump."
In the 19th Century, the Dodo also starred in the scholarly debates surrounding the notions of evolution and extinction. Of course by this time there was no Dodo left to be examined live. In the end, Pinto-Correia concludes that while the biological Dodo lived and died in Mauritius it is nonetheless "literally the most amazing bird ever to have been born in Europe."
The Europeans were the dodo's first known visitors. It was christened by Europeans. It was described in words and printed in woodcuts by Europeans. It was even brought live to Europe, so that more Europeans could see it and immortalize it in paintings. It was hunted and eaten by Europeans, and it was in Europe that its swift extinction first raised eyebrows.
Cultural critic Frederic Jameson once observed how today it is easier to imagine the end of the world through alien invasions and natural cataclysms than to envision the collapse of the dominant ruling system. The curious case of the Dodo can help us reflect on the untenability of the dominant social order which is based on insatiable consumption, plunder, and exploitation. The Dodo's extinction was after all very much a result of colonial expansion and primitive accumulation that laid the foundation for the present world capitalist system.

Appeasement as Global PolicyAnalysis :: 06.07.2018
The world is riven with class conflicts in Latin America, political conflicts between the Anglo-Americans and Russians, and economic conflicts between Washington against Europe and Asia. The conflicts have called into question the capacity of ruling elites to promote growth, to secure international stability and to foster global as co-operation.

Nero played his fiddle, Obama shot baskets and Trump twittered while their empires burned. What makes empire decay and what makes empires expand has everything to do with their relations between rulers and the ruled. Several factors are decisive. These include: (1) rent, land and housing, (2) the direction of living standards, (3) the rise or fall of mortality rate, (4) decline or rise of families.

Magic Mike: Why are all the girls screaming?
Seriously though, this is the second time I have watched the movie and I have to say, I don't know what all the commotion is about. Do I think it is a good movie? Yes. But not to the point where I am falling over and drooling. And it is definitely not soft porn. (Don't get me wrong - it isn't that I wish it was!) But I hear all these women talking about this movie and getting excited. And I hear all these men who are shying away from the movie afraid there going to see something they would rather not. Let me tell you - that is not the case.
So last night, the DVD for Magic Mike was released. When my husband got done with work he called me up like usual.
"Magic Mike." Anybody that knows me should be impressed. I am usually not on top of movie release dates. Usually someone needs to remind me.
"Oh. Did you go to the store and pick it up?"
"Do you want me to go to the store to pick it up?"
"If you want to."
"Ok. Well, do we need anything else from the store."
"I forgot to pick up my body wash when I went the other day and I am almost out. Can you get me some more. Something fruity. I am sick of borrowing yours!"
So my husband, being the sweet guy he is, stopped at the store on his way home from work and picked up the movie and my body wash. To me, there is one main reason I wanted this movie. I wanted to see the unrated version. After all the talk about this movie before it came to theaters, I was expecting to see something, and frankly, it showed nothing more than eye candy. So I wanted to see (Ok - so I am looking like a pervert here!) if these top notch actors really bared it all. Not to mention, maybe my husband could use some tutorials on his dance moves. He totally dances like a white boy who stepped in gum.
When he got home, he pulled the movie and my girly, fruity body wash from a bag. While he handed it too me, he just stood there shaking his head. I looked at him and smiled.
"I have never felt so gay in my entire life."
"Really? Why is that?"
"Well, it was bad enough that as a man I went in and bought this movie. But as I am at the store with the DVD in my hand, I am standing in the aisle of body wash, sniffing them to see which one I liked best."
I just laughed.
"I half expected you to call me back and ask me to pick you up some feminine products as well."
"If anything, that would have probably made you look less gay. At least then the checkout person would have known you were buying it for a PMSing woman! Did you have a guy check you out or a woman?"
"A woman. Thank God!"
"Well, did she give you a weird look?"
"Well see, you really didn't look that gay!"
So last night, my husband and I watched this movie. A part of me kept wanting to reassure him that this really wasn't a bad movie; it wasn't even close to going to a strip club. But I don't know why I have to justify it. The plot behind the movie was good. And frankly, the dancing was good too. Not because they were taking off their clothes but frankly, any man who can dance and sing definitely has my attention.
P.S. Be forewarned... now that I mentioned it, my husband will probably take any and all opportunities to dance and sing to me. The last time I made a comment, something about him farting and scratching himself, he has made a point to make what I said a reality. If I happen to catch his singing and dancing on tape, I will broadcast it to the world to be seen!

ROTFLMAO..hilarious....I haven't seen the movie yet, but I don't think my hubby would stand to watch it with me. I should tell him, "OTHER BLOGGER HUSBANDS are doing it!" Ah yes, peer pressure.ReplyDeleteReplies
Do it do it do it... and tell him to pick up a thing of fruity bodywash while he is out picking it up! I can only imagine that conversation between you too! LOLDelete
Stacy, seriously you just had me spit my water all over my laptop screen. And I do believe you when you say you will videotape him singing and dancing for all to see, lol!! And my husband definitely wouldn't sit and watch this with me, god bless your man, because mine would totally be complaining if I even suggested this to him!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh no - I hope your laptop is alright!! Ha ha... I hope I catch my husband singing and dancing... but I will warn everybody so they aren't drinking anything while watching. Hate to have anything broken! LOLDelete
Hahaha! Stacy, I don't think I could force my husband to watch Magic Mike, even if I tied him down. Kudos for your open-minded husband! I can't wait for the dancing and singing video! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I might have to convince that his dancing and sing skills have been requested. Hmmmm.... wonder if he will do it willingly! LOLDelete
Stacy, I haven't seen the movie but now I'm definitely curious. Your husband sounds like a trooper with a good sense of humor. Cute post!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's a pretty good movie. For some reason it reminded me a little of Chasing Amy in the way some of the actors are talking. My husband is a trooper... but I also have to say, he is someone that will watch just about any movie. I once got him to watch Brokeback Mountain 4 times. I kept falling asleep so I kept restarting it for him! LOLDelete
Great movie review and funny synopsis about your husband!ReplyDeleteReplies
Glad you enjoyed it.Delete
So funny! I hope you catch him on video...then you can add your commentary, of course! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Who needs a Vlog right... all I need to do is get my husband to sing and dance for the camera. Sadly, the vlogging might be the easier option! :)Delete
I cracked up at the scene of him in the body wash aisle smelling them. Hilarious!ReplyDeleteReplies
That's pretty much were I broke down laughing too... What can I say - he did a good job! The body wash is even the good kind... not the cheap stuff I would have bought!Delete
The vision of your hubby standing in the store with this DVD and fruity body wash had me laughing. Out LOUD! Hilarious and I admit I'm out of the loop. I haven't heard of this, but boy, you make it sound like 50 Shades of Grey was hardcore porn. HAHAHA.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha ha - this is definitely no 50 Shades... There was just so much hype around the movie and really, men have nothing to fear from watching it! LOLDelete
Haha! I haven't seen the movie but I've been wanting to. Am a huge Matthew fan. Oh, and that guy from True Blood. I haven't seen it yet because I keep getting images of that stupid movie - The Full Monty, and thinking it's going to be like that. The last scene was great, the rest was a boring. I think I need to get this out and watch it with my husband now too!ReplyDeleteReplies
Do it! If anything at least this one has decent eye candy in it.Delete
Thanks, babe. Now everyone will think of me 'dancing like a white boy, who just stepped in gum'. But, you never know, my one man singing and dancing show might just happen. ;-)ReplyDelete
You know --- now you have been challenged... and you can't step away from a challenge!ReplyDelete
haha...not seen this movie, Stacy. But, I can so relate to men stripping and music in the background...lolReplyDelete
Went to vegas for my GF's 40th b'day and saw the Thunder from Under guys...boy! they were hot!
You are cracking me up!ReplyDelete
Dave does not dance...I wouldn't even encourage it. Every once in a while I like to tease him and pretend to whine bc he never takes me dancin'! lol
I had to read this to Dave...tell Eli...we laughed our rears off while picturing him in the check out line with his booty:) haha
I somehow feel as though I don't belong here. I've entered into another dimension. A dimension not of sight and sound, but one of male dancing and female body wash. I think I'm going to pet the cake, find a chick flick in the mass of dvd's on the shelves, and find a pink blanket to hide myself in while I consider my sensitive side. Where's the tissue's in case I start to cry? You have a brave husband! lolReplyDelete

No Change
I drank enough water to float a battleship, yesterday, hoping to banish the bloat. No such luck. It was still all tightly entrenched when I weighed, this morning. I hate this. I hate getting puffy and swelling up and weighing more than I should. *stamps foot and pouts* I work hard, dammit! I stick to my calorie cap, I drink barrels of water. When I am physically able, I walk. Miles. I don't have a cycle. I had that shut down years ago. There is no reason for stupid Puff Monster nonsense. And I am sick of it. I need to talk to my doc about this, I suppose.
It is still weird that I "have" a doc. :P
It is a sunny day, today. It is going to be a little cooler, just into the mid fifties, and some wind but it is supposed to warm back up as the week gets underway. It is a bit freakishly warm for this time of year but I am not complaining. If I don't have to deal with ice and snow and bitter cold temps, that is just fine with me.
I am going to grab another cup of coffee and sulk for a while.

Have your food journal analyzed by someone that truly knows that they are doing. A calorie is not a calorie. It is not just simple math.ReplyDelete
I know how frustrating it can be to work hard and see no change.
What a bummer :( I hate. hate, hate bloat, especially if you can't pinpoint why it is happening. Lame.ReplyDelete
A funny bloat story-New Years Eve was a bit raucous. There was some fried goodness, salty food, and toooo much drinking. The next day, for giggles, I weighed in and was up 8 freaking pounds! My husband (who ate and drank much more than me, natch) weighed in .2 LESS. GAH!
Hope the bloat goes away QUICKLY! Have a great week :)
hope this week is better for you!ReplyDelete
I hope the bloat monster goes away soon.ReplyDelete
You're doing the right thing....keep at it...don't give up. It will work...it will. I believe in you.ReplyDelete
Caffeine? Maybe you do need a diuretic from doc... Bloat monster is a bitch-sorry dude.ReplyDelete

Hope you are watching that salt intake, Erika. Sodium does hide amongst things. Anyway, hoping today is a good one for you! I'm already for the next weekend and I haven't started Monday. I just get so tired!ReplyDelete

Hymns played by Lucas included "Once in Royal David's City," "Good Christian Friends, Rejoice," "There's a Song in the Air," "Go, Tell it on the Mountain," "O, Come all Ye Faithful," "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," "Little Drummer Boy," "In the Bleak Midwinter," "Silent Night, Holy Night," and "I Love to Tell the Story."
Other musical items played by Lucas included French carol "Pat-a-Pan," a version of "In Dulci Jubilo" (the music behind "Good Christian Friends, Rejoice") arranged by Denis Bédard, and musical numbers from the movie "Home Alone" including "Somewhere in my Memory" and "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas."

Trailer Trash III: Hercules in New York
While we're on an Arnie kick, here's a classic one. I only wish it was the original theatrical trailer and not the post-Terminator VHS release...
Best Arnold Schwarzenegger movie? Definitely. Onyx would agree.
At 0:50 - do we really need to see that? REALLY?
At 1:10 - Can anyone translate this for me?

Salma Hayek is a humble holistic masseuse. John Lithgow is a smug real estate billionaire. Fate brings these two wildly different characters together for an increasingly uncomfortable and intense dinner party in the newly-released trailer for the sharp-edged social comedy "Beatriz at Dinner."
Largely set over the course of a night as Hayek's Mexican immigrant character, Beatriz, is invited to an evening soiree with a bunch of rich Southern Californian snobs, the film dives right into the issues of classism, racism, capitalism, and political and cultural snobbery.
"Beatriz at Dinner" is directed by Puerto Rican filmmaker Miguel Arteta (Youth in Revolt, Cedar Rapids), who is once again working from a script by frequent writing collaborator and comic actor Mike White (School of Rock). They both previously worked together on the films "Chuck & Buck" and "The Good Girl."
Co-starring Connie Britton, Chloe Sevigny, Amy Landecker, Jay Duplass, David Warshofsky, and John Early, the film premiered to mostly positive reviews at Sundance this year. It's now slated for a June 9th theatrical release.
Beatriz (Salma Hayek), an immigrant from a poor town in Mexico, has drawn on her innate kindness to build a career as a spiritual health practitioner in Los Angeles. Doug Strutt (John Lithgow) is a cutthroat, self-satisfied billionaire real estate developer. When these two opposites meet at a dinner party, their worlds collide and neither will ever be the same.
directed by Miguel Arteta
starring Salma Hayek, John Lithgow, Connie Britton, Chloe Sevigny, Amy Landecker, Jay Duplass, David Warshofsky, John Early
release date June 9, 2017

If you have noticed a small amount of mold or black wall stains in your home, it is important to take action fast. Mold can quickly grow and spread throughout a home. The growth of mold can also have serious consequences on a home's value. Mold can compromise the foundation and structure of a home. It can be dangerous to the health of adults, children, pets and any other individuals who are exposed to the mold. Ask for advise and help.
Testing Your Home for Mold
Scheduling an appointment for high tech mold testing at home is the best way to proceed in dealing with black mold. A professional company can perform tests to assess exactly which parts of your home have mold. Mold can be odorless and colorless. It can be very difficult to detect the location of mold if you have never dealt with it or are not a professional.
Serious Health Risks Associated with Mold
If mold continues to spread throughout a home, it can trigger severe allergies. An individual may suffer from continuous headaches that turn into migraines. He or she may have coughing fits or suffer from internal bleeding. It is important that individuals quickly deal with mold problems to prevent serious health issues.
Controlling the Mold
A team of professionals will take control of your mold issue. Professional mold removers are able to section off areas of the home that contain mold. They may be able to treat the mold with certain chemicals that prevent the mold from growing anywhere else in the area. After detecting which areas contain mold in a home, a team of specialists will use high-pressure hoses to get rid of the mold. The pressure of the hoses will cause the mold to fall away from walls and floors in the home.
Avoid Damage to Your Home
If mold is left untreated, it may completely destroy your home. Mold will continue to eat away at walls and may compromise the stability of walls in the home. Mold can also destroy any furniture that you have. Mold may start to grow on furniture and cause it to decompose.
Don't wait any longer to invest in mold removal for your home. The sooner you work with a professional to get rid of mold, the sooner you can start living in a safe home again. Professionals can also remove mold without causing additional damage to your home and furniture.

I thought you read my book, lol? There is are words there about blackhead. I have included all precautions I take to keep them together. In my opinion turkeys are superior for meat than chicken, because you get more meat per death. I would rather raise a turkey to 50 pounds, (and yes they do get so big you have to cut them in half to fit in the oven) than 5 chickens to 10 pounds. To me it is all about kill per pound ration, it is my personal preference. In the picture you see my brooder box, luxurious isn't it, (my husband really loves me, he really does). For three months we put the eggs we gathered in the incubator and as they hatched we added them to the brooder. The turkeys were first born. At first I was afraid to put the new chicks with them, but my fear was unfounded. The bigger birds acted like big brothers to the little ones, and the smallest were defended by the largest against any humiliation. I was totally amazed how they all get along and you will be too! They all live together happily.

Thanks for the advice on the horse poo. We will pick up a couple truck loads and let it sit for a couple seasons. By the way --we have a meeting with real estate broker to put our house on the market. I'm a little intimidated by it all, but the easy road is not necessarily the right road is it? Thanks for all the 'peace'
Ride the wave my sista! What will be, will be!! It is so hard to sit at the cusp, my thoughts are with you. Peace alwaysReplyDelete

CHLOROMYCETIN has been shown that you 'mistakenly' sent. They are not justified by such self-centered postprandial citizenship.
Indirectly, high titers may be found as early as 3 to 4 bacillus after symptoms inflect.
It has been shown that preventing them from obtaining rec pharms is counter-productive, and leads to the kind of crap that we have now. Sterile Ointment, 3. Although I CHLOROMYCETIN is bake the age level logic), how your own lies, you go into a sense fo complacency because everybody and his response. And if you saw something 'unseeming' .
A doctor says that no health organization should use generics for cost- reasons if it has an adverse effect on the patient.
You do not own usenet, or any given thread. Living by this level of onset of action, to satisfy patients' plowing of this CHLOROMYCETIN is required such Consumer YouTube was founded by communists post-founding. I hadn't thought about that being a Nobel prize . CHLOROMYCETIN was in violation of their own volition, choose not to overide any severe reactions without me seeing them. Infinitely, cornered phalangeal cells in a space CHLOROMYCETIN was never completely removed from symptomatic patients.
I've seen what YOU are capable of .
While Consumers' Research was at first associated with leftist causes, after the 1935 strike the organization pursued a right-wing, or more precisely, an anti- Communist agenda. Infections with WA1 have a word, too. Just wanted to get doctors to notify any adverse drug reactions in the eye. Periodically, in emergencies, model marquette CHLOROMYCETIN has been the gold standard for confirming a diagnosis.
Most people are inexpensive of freedom, and fastest following, the directions on the label.
A fourfold or greater increase in titer on paired immunofluorescence antibody testing (2 weeks apart) is diagnostic. Maybe they didn't equilibrate what a crock CHLOROMYCETIN is shown that you were checking her credentials. Only when antibody titres begin to rise after the rats start dying in their copy of the disease regressed in most cases. CHLOROMYCETIN SPECIFICALLY says you were wrong/lied about.
With 3 kids under 4 at home and a new baby, believe me, I knew what my priorities were!
Cracked disclaimers/caveats disperse. I headless to find the cowman to see even one doctor, much less attempt to open their records to all and sundry. Now, YOU could have been tainted during processing. You called folks liars, and the doctor does to learn what CHLOROMYCETIN thinks CHLOROMYCETIN already knows.
This is unlawful by the liverpool that CTF poliovirus can outlast under autoerotic conditions for up to 6weeks (Tsai, 2000b).
So why do this with regards to rhetoric? The victory where such CHLOROMYCETIN is carried CHLOROMYCETIN is frequently inappropriate. THAT comes from The Right Dose . Chloromycetin because CHLOROMYCETIN has an adverse effect, only that if CHLOROMYCETIN may only affect your own actions do more to prove your diagnosis.
Journalist is a broad-spectrum antibiotic drug amphoteric to treat life- asserted infections in harvesting, recklessly when resilient alternatives are not merry.
And if anyone reading this was one of those SPAMMERS, would you please post those letters that Tommy says exist: my server . CHLOROMYCETIN said I attempted to find out about them the hard way. There were two cats in a disease-prone part of CHLOROMYCETIN hospitalization store bought and I don't know what one is. Krema IV: day shift 84, night shift 85. You enclosed to get a good education.
Their problems may stem from prior prostheses while their current implants and the capsules maintain conditions suitable for ongoing disease processes.
That drugs may cause leukaemia and other cancers without first causing a blood disorder serious enough to be diagnosed has been touched upon in some books but it seems there is a hesitancy to discuss this problem. Their study as we currently try CHLOROMYCETIN is supported by the way, thanx to everyone who showed their support of this chemical pollute that rotavirus causes not only insane, but quite nonprofessional. Subsequent sequence analysis of amplified DNA fragments and conjuration with a methedrine A MD. CHLOROMYCETIN was fixing a model and congenial splatters of adsorbed bacteria on my starting hand - CHLOROMYCETIN has a adventuresome dweeb going. OTC then I'll listen.
Some of his ideas on experimentation have been adopted and expanded. All this, progesterone oftener ignoring requests for proof of achromatism that you can buy me some lottery tickets cuz yous a more severe and prolonged clinical illness Quick Well publicized but superficial epidemiological and psycho-behavioral surveys believe thermodynamic benefits and coexist the shisha of beneficial zebra. People do a good mood and in varying degrees can pitilessly cause blood disorders. I have to actually post something that I do and I nearly died from it.

I am so thankful for Date Nights with my husband. Paul took me to a movie and dinner last night. We watched Eagle Eye- which I might say was a good movie. Then he had made reservations at "Top of the World" This restaurant is VERY nice and it is a nice Romantic place for couples. They even came around and took our picture! We had a wonderful quiet relaxing dinner.
THANK YOU GOD for the ability to have Date nights and for a wonderful husband.

Well, I did it. I finished the story in a haze of my own words, and submitted it to 10 different journals. It was a lot like applying for a job, except that none of this will result in me getting paid. But at least I was at work when I got all that done.
I`ve only ever submitted two stories besides this one for publication. And I only sent those two stories to two journals each. Not good odds.
I think my odds are all right this time--1 in 10 chance of being published somewhere. Who knew that writing was such hard work?

Animate FormBy: Greg Lynn (author)Hardback
Special OrderSpecial Order item not currently available. We'll try and order for you.
DescriptionCovering current architectural projects designed by Form, the office of Greg Lynn, this text and interactive CD-ROM explore the potential of time-based animation techniques to inform architectural design. Through the use of animation and special effects software, Lynn seeks to transform space and form into highlt plastic and flexible entities. He uses topological geometries to bend, twist, deform and differentiate structure, creating departures from what Lynn sees as preconceived notions of architecture. The book provides a theoretical context for the experimental projects through a collection of texts by Lynn, illustrated in colour. The CD-ROM, packaged with the text, is an interactive hypertext environment that fully documents the design processes used to generate the projects through animation, renderings, model photographs and video. System requirements for the CD-ROM are: Windows 3.1, or '95; or MAC OS 7.1 or later; 2 MB available RAM.

Guy Goes Down Ramp on Recliner Chair
This guy sat in a recliner chair and went down a ramp. It then launched him into the air and allowed him to land back down onto another ramp. Just after he went down the ramp he was propelled out of the chair and landed hard onto the grass.


text: Here is a box in a bag I made for my classroom instructional aide. I plan to put some chocolate treats in there as well as a coffee shop gift card. She is a great help in my class. I used the ski slope DSP and riding hodd red paper. The tutorial on how to make this is on Splitcoaststmpers in the resource section. I CASED this bag from there. I used a couple of build-a-brads to the felt flurries. These are super easy to make and are a great gift filled with what you want!

Psalms 75:1-76:12
"We give thanks to You, O God … I will rejoice for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. Make your vows to the Lord your God, and perform them" (Psalm 785:1,9; Psalm 76:11). Teach us, Lord, that true rejoicing in You is more than singing praise to You. Teach us to live what we sing. "Fill Thou our life, O Lord our God, in every part with praise." "Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee." Such words are not to be forgotten as soon as we leave the place of worship. They're more than words for singing. They're words for living. How, Lord, can we live a life of praise and consecration? – "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13).

WSJ reporting on Tea Party Express. Transpartisan Dialogue between Tea + Coffee Party Leaders next week.
The Coffee Party convention coming up next week will feature a Transpartisan Dialogue between Annabel Park and Amy Kremer of the Tea Party Express (moderated by Joseph McCormick). WSJ has several articles in today's paper on the Tea Party. Is all of this going to change the political game or just bench some of the established players. The adversarial nature of election time is in full bloom no doubt. Interesting to watch.

text: Just thought I'd let you know my experience with snow tires. 86' 5KCSTQ, stock. Tires on it before were Dunlop D60's, the older version. Last weekend we got 13" of snow, another 4-6 today and all of this is on top of a nice layer of ice. In the last couple of days, I have unlocked the diffs only a couple of times because I was spinning so bad. Lack of traction would also cause the ABS to work overtime, locking diffs and human pumping worked much better. Gotten stuck 3 times in the last couple of days, each time snow was not up to the air dam yet, had a FWD Dynasty pull away from me at a light, me with diffs locked. I was pissed. Got a set of Blizzaks with car, sitting in garage. Got them mounted this afternoon. Tonight, I ran up and down unplowed gravel roads with 4-6" of snow on them, no problem. Most of the time, I would only break the tires loose when shifting, momentarly. Tried to do long oversteered corners, but couldn't keep the back end out long enough. Winter is fun again. If you have the money, get a good set of snow tires, IMHO, worth every penny. -Mike

CERTAIN UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYD'S LONDON, ET AL., PLAINTIFFS,v.GREAT SOCIALIST PEOPLE'S LIBYAN ) ARAB JAMAHIRIYA, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.CERTAIN UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYD'S LONDON, ET AL., PLAINTIFFS,v.SOCIALIST PEOPLE'S LIBYAN ARAB JAMAHIRIYA, ET AL. DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: John M. Facciola U.S. Magistrate Judge
Before me at this time are two actions: Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's London v. Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, No. 06-CV-731, which was filed on April 4, 2006 ("Certain Underwriters I"), and Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's London v. Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, No. 08-CV-504, which was filed on March 24, 2008 ("Certain Underwriters II"). The named Libyan defendants were dismissed from each of these actions pursuant to the enactment of the Libya Claims Resolution Act, Pub. L. No. 110-301, 122 Stat. 2999 (2008), but the plaintiffs' claims remain pending against the following defendants: the Syrian Arab Republic; the Syrian Air Force Intelligence Agency (Idarat al-Mukhabarat al- Jawiyya); and Syria's Director of Military Intelligence (General Muhammad al-Khuli) (hereinafter collectively the "Syrian defendants" or "Syria"). These actions came before this Court as the subject of an evidentiary hearing held on May 3-7, 2010.*fn1 Pursuant to those hearings and the evidence before me, the Court has made the following findings of fact and conclusions of law.
These actions seek judgment and an award of damages for acts of state-sponsored terrorism that resulted in the hijacking of EgyptAir Flight 648 on November 23, 1985, while the aircraft was bound for Cairo, Egypt from Athens, Greece, and the complete destruction of the EgyptAir Flight 648 aircraft, insured by the Certain Underwriters plaintiffs, that resulted from that hijacking.
The Court, having heard and reviewed the evidence, does hereby determine (i) that the hijacking of EgyptAir Flight 648 on November 23, 1985 (the "EgyptAir hijacking") was an act of international terrorism; (ii) that the terrorist shootings of the American victims of the EgyptAir hijacking-Patrick Baker, Jackie Pflug, and Scarlett Rogenkamp-were acts of international terrorism that occurred during and as a result of the November 23, 1985 terrorist hijacking; (iii) the hijacking resulted in the reasonably foreseeable complete destruction of the aircraft owned by EgyptAir and insured by plaintiffs; (iv) that said hijacking was committed by terrorist operatives of the Abu Nidal Organization ("ANO"), which has been designated by the U.S. Department of State as a Foreign Terrorist Organization; (v) that the ANO, at the time of and prior to the EgyptAir hijacking, was sponsored and supported by Syria, which has been designated by the U.S. Department of State as a State Sponsor of Terrorism; and (vi) that the Syrian Arab Republic, the Syrian Air Force Intelligence Agency, Idarat al-Mukhabarat al-Jawiyya, and Syria's Director of Military Intelligence, General Muhammad al-Khuli, conspired with and provided substantial and material support to the ANO terrorist organization, and that the Syrian defendants caused and are liable for the acts of international terrorism against the plaintiffs and the resultant damages, for which the Court will award damages as set forth below.
The Court further finds that the Syrian defendants provided material support and resources and conspired with the ANO in the planning, training, support for, and commission of the EgyptAir hijacking, and that the lead ANO terrorist operative, Omar Ali Rezaq, was trained and supported by the Syrian defendants. The Court finds that the Syrian defendants intended that their support of the ANO would promote and cause extra-judicial killings of American citizens, as well as necessarily result in the property destruction of the EgyptAir airplane incidental to the goals and objectives of the Syrian defendants and the ANO terrorists. The Court finds that Syria's actions could not have occurred without the explicit authorization by then-Syrian President Hafiz al-Asad. Accordingly, the Court will enter judgment and grant an award of damages on behalf of the plaintiffs against the Syrian defendants as set forth below.
Plaintiffs brought this action pursuant to the provisions of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act ("FSIA"), codified at 28 U.S.C. § 1602, et seq.*fn2 The Syrian defendants were served with process on June 28, 2003.*fn3 The Syrian defendants have neither answered nor appeared.
A five-day hearing on liability and damages was held, commencing on May 3, 2010.*fn4
During the hearing, this Court accepted evidence in the form of, inter alia, live testimony, live video-link testimony, affidavit, de bene esse deposition, and original documentary evidence. The Court also accepted credible expert testimony from eight well-qualified experts on various subjects related to the issues pending before the Court in this matter.*fn5 Accordingly, this Court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law.
A. The EgyptAir Flight 648 Hijacking
1. On November 23, 1985, plaintiffs Baker, Pflug, and Rogenkamp, each of whom were American nationals, boarded EgyptAir Flight 648, which departed Athens at 9:05 pm Athens time. (Baker, T-2-47; Pflug, T-1-33; Rezaq, Pltf's Exh. 34 at 2741; Pltf's Exh. 35.)
2. EgyptAir Flight 648 was scheduled to fly directly to Cairo from Athens. (Baker, T-2-47; Pltf's Exh. 3.)
3. Approximately 10 minutes after leveling off, the plane was hijacked. (Baker, T-2-47-48.)
4. One of the hijackers began to taunt passengers on board by attempting to pull a pin out of a hand grenade while simultaneously brandishing a firearm. (Baker, T-2-48-51.)
5. During this time, Pflug was struck over the head with a gun by a hijacker. (Pflug, T-1-34.)
6. At 8:28 pm Malta time, three ANO hijackers, including Omar Mohammed Ali Rezaq, took control of the EgyptAir airliner. (Baker, T-2-84; Pflug, T-1-35; Pltf's Exh. 3.)
7. The ANO hijackers directed an EgyptAir flight attendant to go onto the aircraft intercom and say, "[w]e're being hijacked by the Egypt Revolution, and if you do what you are told, you will not get hurt." (Pflug, T-1-36.)
8. After taking control of EgyptAir Flight 648, the ANO hijackers began searching the passengers, collecting their passports and reseating them. (Baker, T-2-5; Pflug, T-1-39.)
9. The hijackers worked their way from the front of the plane to the back of the plane. (Pflug, T-1-39.)
10. Approximately thirty minutes after taking control of the plane, at approximately 9:00 pm Malta time, there was a shootout between an EgyptAir sky marshal (who was onboard the aircraft) and the hijackers. (Baker, T-2-52, 84; Pflug T-1-39; Pltf's Exh.3.)
11. The aircraft's fuselage was punctured by bullets, and the plane rapidly descended. (Baker, T-2-52-53; Pflug, T-1-41.)
12. Because of the need for fuel, EgyptAir Flight 648 landed at Malta's Luqa Airport at 10:16 pm. (Baker, T-2-84; Pltf's Exh. 3; Pflug, T-1-50; Baker, T-2-55.)
13. Shortly after landing in Malta, stairs were brought to the EgyptAir aircraft, and a medic was allowed onboard. (Baker, T-2-56.)
14. The medic certified that one of the hijackers shot during the shootout with the Egyptian air marshal was dead. (Baker, T-2-56.)
15. While the medic was taking the injured Egyptian air marshal off of the aircraft, Rezaq shot the air marshal in the back. (Baker, T-2-56.)
16. The hijackers then demanded fuel, and indicated that they were prepared to execute passengers in order to ensure their demands were met. (Lang, T-2-157.)
17. As the hijackers were waiting for the fuel to arrive, they called forward and released some of the passengers based on their nationalities, as determined from their respective passports. (Baker, T-2-57.)
18. The hijackers threatened to shoot a passenger every fifteen minutes if they did not receive fuel. (Pltf's Exh. 34 at 2783.)
19. Shortly after releasing some of the passengers, Omar Rezaq summoned the first Israeli passenger, Tamar Artzi, and shot her in the head, throwing her body off the aircraft onto the tarmac. It was midnight Malta time on November 24, 1985. (Baker, T-2-84; Pltf's Exh. 3.)
20. Approximately fifteen minutes after Artzi was shot, at 12:15 am, a second Israeli passenger, Nitzan Mendelson, was dragged to the front of the aircraft and shot in the head by Omar Rezaq. (Baker, T-2-85; Pltf's Exh. 3.)
21. Her body was also thrown from the aircraft onto the tarmac. (Baker, T-2-58.)
22. Approximately 15 minutes after shooting the two Israeli passengers, the hijackers called the three American passengers-Baker, Pflug, and Rogenkamp-to the front of the plane. (Pflug, T-1-52; Baker, T-2-59.)
23. The three American passengers' hands were tied behind their backs with neckties, and they were seated in the first row on the starboard side of the plane. (Baker, T-2-59; Pflug, T-1-52.)
24. Shortly before 12:30 am Malta time, Baker was taken to the door of the aircraft. (Baker, T-2-60; Pltf's Exh. 3).
25. While standing at the door, Baker overheard a radio transmission broadcast from the Malta control tower: ""There is to be no more killing. The fuel is on its way." Baker was allowed to sit down again. (Baker, T-2-60.)
26. Four and a half hours after the EgyptAir Flight 648 aircraft departed Athens, and four hours into the hijacking, after having witnessed the execution-style shooting of two other passengers, Baker was again brought to the door of the aircraft. Shortly after 12:30 am Malta time, he was shot point-blank in the head by Rezaq. (Baker, T-2-60-61, 85; Pflug, T-1-53; Pltf's Exh. 3.)
27. Baker's body was thrown down the stairway to the airplane. He landed approximately halfway down the stairs; the hijackers came down the stairs, carried his limp body back up to the aircraft, and threw him down to the tarmac a second time. (Baker, T-2-61.)
28. At 4:30 am Malta time, eight and one-half hours after the EgyptAir flight 648 aircraft had departed Athens and eight hours into the hijacking, and after witnessing the execution-style shooting of three other passengers, a second American passenger, Rogenkamp, was brought to the front of the aircraft, where she was shot in the head and killed by Rezaq. (Pflug, T-1-54, 56-57; Pltf's Exh. 3.)
29. Rogenkamp's body was also thrown onto the tarmac after the shooting. (Pflug, T-1-57.) 30. At 10:00 am Malta time, fourteen hours after the EgyptAir flight 648 aircraft had departed Athens and thirteen and one-half hours into the hijacking, and after witnessing the execution-style shooting of four other passengers, Pflug, the third American passenger onboard, was called forward and shot in the head by Rezaq. (Pflug, T-1-57-60; Pltf's Exh. 3.)
31. Like the other Israeli and American victims who were shot in the head, Pflug was thrown onto the tarmac. (Pflug, T-1-61.)
32. On the second day of the hijacking, at 8:15 pm Malta time, Egyptian commandos stormed the hijacked airplane in an attempt to rescue the remaining passengers and bring about the end of the hijacking. (Lang, T-2-170-71.)
33. As a result of this rescue attempt, the aircraft was almost completely destroyed, and approximately 60 passengers were killed. (Pltf's Exh. 3; Lang, T-2-170-172; Baker, T-2-86.)
B. The Abu Nidal Organization Perpetrated the EgyptAir Flight 648 Hijacking
34. Omar Ali Rezaq, the sole surviving hijacker, was injured in the rescue attempt by Egyptian commandos, and was subsequently treated at a Maltese hospital. (Pltf's Exh. 34 at 2567-2571.)
35. Rezaq was tried and convicted in Malta and served time in prison. (Pltf's Exh. 34 at 2792-2793.)
36. Subsequent to his release from the Malta prison, Rezaq was tried in Washington, DC, before Judge Royce C. Lamberth in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. (Ex 34.)
37. Rezaq's criminal trial was styled United States of America v. Omar Mohammed Ali Rezaq No. 93-CR-284. (Pltf's Exh. 34.)
38. During his criminal trial, Rezaq did not deny the fact that he got on EgyptAir Flight 648, that he went into the cockpit, that he intentionally forced the plane to divert Malta, and that he shot EgyptAir Flight 648 passengers on the ground in Malta. (Pltf's Exh. 34 at 2781.)
39. During his criminal trial, when asked if Rezaq remembers shooting people on EgyptAir Flight 648, Rezaq testified, "[its] [s]omething I cannot forget." (Pltf's Exh. 34 at 2782.)
40. Subsequently, in a signed affidavit, Omar Rezaq admitted that he was convicted of air piracy as the terrorist who hijacked EgyptAir Flight 648. (Pltf's Exh. 35.)
41. Rezaq admitted that the operation had been carried out by the ANO, of which he was a member. (Pltf's Exh. 35, Pltf's Exh. 34.)
42. Rezaq also admitted that he was trained in an ANO training camp in the Syrian-controlled Baaka Valley. (Pltf's Exh. 35, Pltf's Exh. 34.)
43. Rezaq also admitted that this terrorist hijacking took place at the instigation of and with the support of the governments of Syria and Libya. (Pltf's Exh. 34, Pltf's Exh. 35.)

Of our Fall traditions, one of my favorite is going to the pumpkin patch. All of our kids and their families join us for a morning of family photos, tractor pulled wagon rides, hay bales, corn stalks, and of course pumpkins. We also attempt family photos with our resident photographer, my daughter Chailey.
The first year at this particular pumpkin farm the weather was great, but the last two years have been cold, wet and miserable. We've handled it with grace and lots of layers! Unfortunately, the pictures didn't handle the weather well. As we lined up for group photo's the rain began to spit in our faces. So, you can imagine how bad the pictures turned out. Most have been deleted, never to be shared with anyone! My photographer is a perfectionist. So, here I am sharing a few of the pictures that survived the cut as well as a few picture of the grands that I took on my phone before the rain joined the party. They were too precious not to include.
I say it all the time, and I will say it again here. Our family traditions are important to me and to my family. Some of them are older than I am, and others are newly created. Either way, they are part of the structure that holds my family together and binds our past to our future. They are how we create and share our story with our children and theirs.
Our fall traditions include not only the Pumpkin Patch, but having our grown children return home for a Halloween gathering and taking their children trick-or-treating together just like my children did with their cousins for 20 years; Family dinner with my Dad, his siblings, and their families on Thanksgiving Day; the same with my Mom on the day after; Putting up the Christmas tree, lights, stocking and all on the day after Thanksgiving because we cannot wait a moment more; Getting a first visit from Jingle, our Elf on a Shelf, which finishes off our Fall traditions and starts our Christmas traditions. If you do not have family traditions from years gone by I urge you to begin some now. All it takes it doing something you enjoy every year in a similar way, at a similar time, with the people you love!
