Negotiate and defer and repeat! Did the Russians learn it from the Iranians or vice versa? This is the game that Iran has been playing with its nuclear enrichment and facilities for the last five years. Now Russia is playing that game perfectly, over it's war in Georgia. They say, "We'll stop fighting soon" and then don't. Then they say "We just need to do a little more." Next comes the denial, "oh we're not really in any major Georgian towns." Then they say they are in the major towns but they have to be there for safety purposes and because they need to restore law and order where they attacked and Georgia can't take care of itself. Then they defer some more and say they're bringing in more troops because they need those to safely leave? Does this make any sense? They have no plans of leaving any time soon unless someone pushes them out.
Meanwhile the US shows just how much of a paper tiger it really is. The President says things, like "You better get out or we'll talk tough some more." Meanwhile Russia sees right through our empty threats and ignores them. Russia has seen first hand that the US will do nothing in Iran and will do nothing in Georgia or anywhere else. In fact we won't even give Israel the go ahead to defend itself against Iran because it will hurt our economic interests. The US seems to be really confused over who its allies really are. At this point Canada could invade and we'd say something like "You better go back or we'll stop trading bacon with you."
Don't worry, I'm sure it will all work out, Russia probably just needs a little breathing room. Oh and Iran may need some too.

Mississippi's quiet country highways knit together small cities and scenic attractions that are the stuff road trips are made of. We hit the Magnolia state to check out Civil War-era history and the Mississippi Blues Trail, ending in N'awlins to indulge in some seafood.
But no one should set out on a country-fried road trip without ample power. Check out how we stayed powered up to share this trip with you.
We start off on a country road outside Jackson, Mississippi. A Ventev mini-pro window dashmount keeps the route in view. But remember, always have power for your friends too.
Driving through a quaint town we had flashbacks. Who doesn't look at this clock tower and wonder if they could hit 88 mph in a DeLorean at exactly the moment lightning strikes?
In Cleveland, Mississippi, (named for Grover Cleveland, and not Cleveland, Ohio), we came across a caboose from the Illinois Central Railroad.
The Illinois Central was how the blues truly spread from the Mississippi Delta to places like Chicago, as southern bluesmen headed north looking for work. Without it, it's likely there would be no blues. Without the blues, there's no R&B. And without R&B, there's no rock 'n' roll.
Heading deeper into the Delta, we stop at the B.B. King Museum in Indianola, Mississippi. It's always nice to see tributes to the "King of the Blues."
Just an hour out of Vicksburg, we catch U.S. 61, the Blues Highway. Lots of songs have been written about this road.
We stop in the town of Vicksburg which was a key transportation hub during the Civil War, and was put under siege by the Union Army. Each side used cannons to harass an entrenched enemy.
It really looks like a postcard.
The Yazoo & Mississippi Railroad Station, now the Old Depot Museum, was once known as the Yazoo Delta Railway, but blues musicians who rode the rails referred to it as the "Yellow Dog Railroad" or by the initials Y.D. It's featured in a good number of blues songs.
It's also where our Powercell was caught riding the rails like an old-timey bluesman.
Onward we press and before you know it, look — It's the Super Dome!!! We're in N'awlins, y'all.
And the first stop? Gumbotown.
With full bellies where else would we head but Bourbon Street?
After a night on Bourbon Street we're ready to wake up with chicory coffee and beignets at Café du Monde.
Yes, please. Crawfish snack before we jump on the flight back to Baltimore is a must, even if Maryland Blue Crabs are better.
If you're planning a road trip, the Blues Trail, Civil War artifacts, and seafood make the South a must-drive destination. Just make sure to pack enough power to keep you going along the way.

RTX 2016 Weekend Recap
This year, RTX 2016 fell on July 1st-3rd in Austin, TX. The event brought in 60,000+ attendees and had many new additions to see at the convention! Especially mixing in SGC to the event this year!
I was able to talk to a lot of great companies but didn't focus on doing full on interviews this year. I really wanted to enjoy my experience at the same time of talking to some people in the industry.

Freight firm signs Xstrata coal deal
Freight company Aurizon says it has signed a deal with mining giant Xstrata to accommodate a doubling of production capacity at the Rolleston coal mine, west of Gladstone in central Queensland.
The company has signed a deal to haul 14.6 million tonnes of coal a year from the mine to Gladstone, which is five million tonnes greater than the mine's existing production capacity.
Aurizon says its contract extends to a possible expansion to 20 million tonnes.
Topics: mining-rural, regional-development, regional, road-transport, mining-industry, coal, rolleston-4702, gladstone-4680

After we finished our game, he won, we discussed what changes he could make to the gamebox to improve it. Version 5 was completed with larger pieces that were more easily distinguishable but Jeff was still looking for ways to improve the map at the time.
Jeff recently sent me his latest, version 6, gamebox incorporating the expansion and a newer map graphic.
He will soon be releasing it to the public, after removing the card text, and hopefully it could be used in the upcoming War of the Ring Tournament being talked up on Boardgamegeek here.
I've attached more pictures. Click on them to enlarge.
I'm not sure if I will be in the tourney as I'm involved with other PBEM games now but if anyone wants to do a casual game using the gamebox drop me a line.

Did You Hear A Slamming Door Election Night?
There was definitely an audible sound of a door slamming shut election night.
Election night I sat watching what might become the precursor of the eventful future.
By using the Republican's own joyful description of the election results being "a Sunomi," "a landslide," "an earthquake," plus "a hurricane or tidal wave," and knowing that these are phenom that have, and do, kill many tens of thousands of people that stand in the way, the Republican's may have given us a glimpse into their dream.
Those that heard the sound of the door slamming shut on Tuesday night, realize that it was the door slamming on "civil liberties", the door slamming on the "middle class and the disenfranchised."
That door slamming shut brings America obviously terribly closer to cultural warfare.
If the words of the newly elected Governor of Ohio are any sign of what's to come when he stated, "Get on the bus or be run over…", we are in serious trouble.
I have been, for the last year and a half, posting my fear of the far right. It would seem my fear was founded in reality for the "voice of the most is not always the voice of God."
Gloria Smith permalink11/06/2010 2:40 pm
Unfortunately you are correct I think our Democracy is done, when people dont' care and think all politicians are the same and corrupt it is over. Although we have been trying we have lost our message they want a Corporate Theocracy most people won't know that until it is too late. Do we stay & fight or just leave I might be too old for this fight.
Jeff King permalink11/06/2010 6:09 pm
You say that it's the middle class that the door was being slammed on and yet it was the middle class that took to the streets and parks rallying behind freedom of thought and tyranny. I understand the world that you'd like where everyone is taken care of cradle to grave. There are many societies like that but America has never been one of them. America has been molded by people with courage and ideas. They took life on without asking for permission from government officials. You would be better off in Norway or maybe France. I know you would have adored Greece but do you see what's happening there? I think government should be there for its people but when the govt doesn't listen then political earthquakes happen. I do believe that people like the idea of healthcare but not when it's hidden and apportioned like bread crumbs and where cronies get bigger pieces of the crumbs. Pelosi was another Marie Antoinette. To those who had lost their homes and had no jobs it was "Let them MAKE cakes" The people of this country don't like being lied to about transparency or jobs that will never come. This was a vote against arrogance. This was a vote for freedom to be what they wanted to be and against socialistic tendencies that the Obama legacy would bring.

Settling in, again
in the Stillwater area. Seems some places take a little longer for me to get back to the blogging after we upset the apple cart than other places. Such is life. We are busy working through to the end of our First Unit for our History Unit Study. The treekids are antsy. They are creating these little pieces here and there and they cannot bear to be patient and want to show Pops everything every day. I tell them that the last day of the unit they will get to show/present the WHOLE folder in a fun family meeting. They are not on board yet. They keep trying to whisper all their excitement in Pops' ear. Rotten children!! We will be finished soon and ready to start up the next unit.
On a separate note, I was digging around my pictures to see what I haven't shared yet (which is a whole lot, actually! I better get busy.) and found photos from the last time we were in Stillwater! We visited a Botanical Garden on a VERY hot day. Maybe that wasn't the best day to go, but we enjoyed ourselves. It is an extensive grounds, so I won't share it all in one post. I'll share more later!
There we have Bump running and trying like the dickens to keep up to the bigger treekids. It was so nice of them to stop and wait for him to catch up a bit!
The first garden area was full sensory garden set about to entice all five senses. There were a lot of wasps and bees in the area and I didn't stick around to take a lot of pictures in the taste, smell and touch area. But, in the viewing area there was a kaleidoscope type tool in the garden. It was really pretty to look at some bright colors.
Of course, we were there when it was 116 degrees, so the flowers were mostly dead and or dying. SO, Bud's shirt was the prettiest thing to photograph!
A lovely xylophone to play in the garden was a treat for all. But cause for distress when Bump couldn't play with both mallets with a full audience!!
I am so glad that our return to Oklahoma has been filled with BEAUTIFUL weather! Yippeee!!

As we are in the throws of football season, I thought I would share my newly made up Secret Celebratory Gesture. You must be a member of my circle of trust to get in on my secret, and I will be most happy to share it with you! Since you are here... you must be part of my circle, as this is a low circulation blog. So - without further ado, here's what you do:
- Chest Bump
- Spin
- Jump to Facing (I can't quite make a 360 spin, you?)
- High Five
- Criss-Cross Fore Arm Bump - right then left
- Right Fist Bump ... Explosion
- High Five -swing down to backwards Low Five
- Raise both arms and Fist Pump the sky 3 times
Perhaps you wonder what is so exciting that I made a special Secret Celebratory Gesture. Here, I will show you.
This was the weather forecast for Lincoln, NE Sep 14 - Sep 17 (We were there for Bud's b-day on Sep 14, and left the morning of Sep 15):
This is yesterday's 5-day outlook for Halstead, KS (near Hutchinson, where we are currently):
And this my friends was the 10-day outlook for Stillwater, OK (where we will arrive on Sunday, Sep 18 in the afternoon!):
Insert Secret Celebratory Gesture HERE!
I love the cooler weather. I mean, I LOVE the cooler weather!! The highs AND LOWS in Nebraska: overnight in the 30s! The cool weather in Kansas is nice, as we are planning to enjoy some outside things. The "cooler" weather in Oklahoma... while fairly warm in the 80s is cause for celebration. The last time we were in Oklahoma, we had the unfortunate opportunity to experience temperatures at 119 degrees. I was crabby. That is all I need to say about that... infer what you will about my crabbiness. Temps in the 80s means the treekids can run and play outdoors in the sunshine! We brought the bikes back out of storage and they will love riding through the park! Yippee for reasonable weather!! {Insert another S.C.G. here!}
P.S. - I am sure that all 'real' sports folks will think that I am a nutcase. And while that is a real possibility, I am just so thrilled about the weather - even with the rain. I like rain, too. Rain and grey skies. Cooler weather... finally.

Double Digits
My big boy is ten today. I can barely believe that he is old enough to even SAY that! 10!! He has really been looking forward to turning ten. It is a big deal when you're a kid to move from single digits to double and he is ready to go!
However, I AM NOT READY for him to be 10!! So, I will reminisce with some old pictures and look back at some great times throughout the past several years...
Ah... the baby face of Bud. We went to the hospital around 10 pm on the 13th and had to wait clear 'til around 1 pm on the 14th for him to be good and ready to arrive. We still seem to be waiting for my boy... he lives life in enjoyment and nothing is a very big hurry. Slow, slow, slow and {sometimes} steady wins his race!! We love this boy and will continue to wait for him to catch a ride on a whirlwind! Happy 10th Birthday, Bud!!!!!!

RV Life: Dining and Living
We dine in a booth and relax on a sofa. It is a simple life! We work on MacBooks on either "TV Trays" or the dining table. We "school" here, too - sometimes sprawled on the floor, sometimes at the table or on a tv tray. Occasionally, the TV trays go in the bunkhouse and they sit on their bed with the tray. It is functional!!
Here are Branch and Bark...and a sneak peek of a part of the kitchen and the "hallway" to the rest of the "house"!! There are lots of cupboards and a flat screen TV that is on a swing arm that allows it to be pulled out and directed toward the sofa. But, we don't watch much television! There is so much better stuff to spend our time doing. The child locks on the cupboards are not to keep the kids out. It is to keep the "stuff" IN when we move from one location to the next!!

How to bathe a toddler
...when you live in an RV and said toddler's "fun" in the kitchen sink makes the ma and pa a wee bit nervous with the amount of potential water splashing AND when the RV ma and pa chose does not include a bathtub with the shower.
Plop toddler in a cleaned out plastic tote that you were storing baseball helmets, balls, mitts and a bat. Make sure to add plenty of warm water and bubbles for toddler to soak the dirt off in. (Oh, it also helps to have a really nice day - not too hot or cool!)
You will need a cup to rinse the bubbles out of his hair or off his chest.
Toddler will prefer one with pictures of "Buzz an Woo" and their friends.
The toddler will be happy that you give him the cup...
after you finish pouring all that water over his head.
The cup will become the play toy...
As will a couple of small balls his siblings will bring to play with.
OH, MY! Those are fishing bobbers the treekids brought to the toddler! Hmmm. Seems that they worked just as well as any other... Eventually, you will need to convince the toddler that he is wrinkly like a raisin and needs to be removed from his little pool of fun. It might be challenging. I am confident that the squeals of disapproval will quiet down as he is dried off, diapered up and slid into some soft t-shirt and shorts. Just a hunch anyway... it might help if you have a small football for him to hold as you get all that business completed!!
Good Luck with YOUR next RV Toddler Washing!!
(or when your tot is too dirty to even think of bringing in a house!)

Kids Say the Darndest...
Yesterday, we drove out to Pops' folks' home to go to their church bazaar. We arrived in time to buy a few raffle tickets in hope of winning the high prize of $350!! Each treekid had a ticket put in the drawing with their name and they were so excited about the possibility of winning BIG! A little while after their names were entered, Blossom asked Grandma, "When will they do the coloring?"
Oh, she wanted to know when they will hold the DRAWING to hopefully call out her name as the big winner!! No winner, winner, chicken dinner in our family. Bummer. She should have won the coloring contest!!
HUH? WHAT? Who is coloring what?
{Uncle and Blossom sit in Uncle's NEW ginormous tailgate chair bought at the bazaar auction}
Oh, she wanted to know when they will hold the DRAWING to hopefully call out her name as the big winner!! No winner, winner, chicken dinner in our family. Bummer. She should have won the coloring contest!!

Roll Over
That's what we did this past week! We rolled over from last year's school to this year on September 8th! We don't take the whole summer off from school. We take the opportunity to learn all year long, taking breaks when WE need or want them instead of when the rest of the general public takes their breaks (which makes for great opportunities to vacation without the masses!!).
The treekids were excited to start fresh, to start some new things. So, we headed outside right away after they got up and dressed (while Bump was still sleeping) and took some "1st day of school" pictures! HA!!!
Those are my "little stair steps!" And it looks like Blossom has really sprouted some legs this past summer! I think that skirt (thank goodness for the shorts that are sewn in underneath!) is going to make it into the give-away pile very soon!!
9 yrs old ~Bud~ 4th (or 5th) Grade
8 yrs old ~Branch~ 3rd Grade
6 yrs old ~Blossom~ 1st Grade
After the photos we took the last of the muffins out of the toaster oven and woke up Bump to enjoy a beautiful breakfast of Blue Blueberry Muffins!
Then, before our studies began, I gave each of the treekids a "Schultüte" - a German School Cone - filled with special treats to celebrate the beginning of this school year! I am so glad that this is the first attempt at this and that they have nothing to compare it to, as I didn't have the supplies in the RV that I would like to have used, so I made them in a fairly sloppy way! But, they were so excited to have a fun exciting treat that they didn't seem to care about my sloppiness!
And away we go!!

Last weekend, on Sept 3rd, we had the fun opportunity of taking all the kids to the Husker football game. Of course, we were not able to all sit together... but Branch, Blossom, Bump and I had four tickets together right behind the team on the 25 yard line, two rows from the field! Yes, we were excited!! To top it off, we were right next to the band!! Yes, there IS a reason that the band members had little ear plugs in! HOLY SMOKES they are LOUD!
After all the fun at the game, we stopped in at Grandmother's Restaurant for supper... some people didn't make quite to that hour, like others did who enjoyed a coloring page or two!
Of the 85,000 people at the stadium, there was not a single soul that I saw that I knew for the whole game while I sat there with my three youngest children. After several people left their seats empty around us, I texted Pops that he and Bud should join us in our "posh" seats. So, after they arrived in our section and there was 5 or 10 minutes or so of the game I saw a familiar red head of hair bobbing along in front of us. I NEVER am the one who sees someone that we know, and I spotted her in a wave of people walking along trying to beat the exit rush! Yes, it was Pops' Aunt AnnMarie - the spokesperson of Nebraska Beef - and her two little girls! Fun to sit and visit with her for a bit - well, when the band was quiet off and on!
We had a GREAT time and if you'd like to see some of the fun... here are the little videos from the game! Have fun - it looks like they did!

A While Back...
it was blasted hot in Oklahoma.
Humid, too, in Oklahoma.
Hot and humid makes springy curls!
But, long springy curls on a chubby, little, fair-skinned, toe-head boy does not make for a boyish appearance.
We plopped him on Pops' lap and looked over the carnage that ensues when a busy boy roughs around a lot.
It sort of looks like a rat's nest, no? So, a little bit of
SNIP, SNIP, Snip, snip and he sees the curls in his hands.
I think that the shorter hair had to feel so much better there in the heat of the summer.
He, however, was just so excited with this curly soft fluff!
Can't you just feel the excitement from this boy??
Shout it from the hills, boy...
Short hair feels great and is sooooo fun!
"What? You want me to do what?"
"Oh, ...CHEESE!"
Look at all that glorious soft fluff everywhere!!
The pudgy toes with the baby locks... sigh. All that shorter hair stays curly when he is wet out of the bath, when he is all hot and sweaty or when the humidity is high!
Now, my baby has a big boy look about him and it still is a bit curly or wavy even when it dries out! Oh, for the love of baby curls and pudgy cheeks, toes, feet...

Gone to Seed...
The cabbage and kale have now started to bolt! This means we shouldn't have to buy seed for our fall crop! Kind of pretty, too, don't you think?

Kellen turned five months old when we were in Arizona!
Despite my good intentions, I have not gotten around to weighing him or measuring him this month. He is almost six months old now, so I'm just going to call that a loss and move on so I can post this!
- SUCH a happy baby!
- Smiles and laughs a lot
- Is very ticklish under arms
- Rolls all the time
- Is starting to push himself forward with his feet, but has not gotten up on his knees yet
- Is sitting up really well with support and is trying to figure out how to sit on his own
- His hands are constantly in his mouth. Actually, anything that even comes close to his mouth end up there!
- He recently discovered his feet and is fascinated by them. He tries to put his feet in his mouth too, but hasn't quite mastered that skill yet
- Nurses or has a bottle every 3-4 hours during the day and once overnight
- Eats baby cereal and baby food now! We usually offer it to him twice a day at this point. So far, he has had apples, pears, carrots and sweet potatoes and likes them all!
- Naps about three times a day. Usually has one longer nap and two shorter ones.
- Goes to bed around 8pm and wakes somewhere between 2am and 4am to nurse and then goes back to sleep until 6 or 7am
- His hands and feet
- His jumperoo
- Stroller rides
- His big brothers
- Watching basketball
- Sophie the Giraffe
- Eating
- Bath time
- Sleeping on his tummy
- Being held. He cries when he wants to be held and then stops. Makes Mommy happy and exhausted at the same time! The Baby Bjorn gets a lot of use these days!
- When Mommy says 'ouch'. Mommy hurts and Kellen cracks up! He thinks it is just hysterical.
- Still HATES being in his carseat...
- Does not really enjoy being on his tummy when awake
- The cold weather
- Middle of the night diaper changes
- The nasal aspirator - poor kiddo is always congested so we use it multiple times a day :(
Kellen took his first big trip this month! We went to Arizona for a week. He went on his first airplane ride, got to spend a lot of time outside in the warm weather, and met his GiGi and Mommy's Aunts and Uncles.

This post sets down some significant challenges and opportunities facing Christianity in the United Kingdom. These concerns arose out of a prayer meeting on New Years eve, but highlight several areas importance for 2007.
– Criticism of faith schools.
– Intolerance of religious symbolism *British Airways.
– War on Iraq *Clash of civilizations (Muslim vs. Christian) rhetoric.
+ Voices of Faith Politics:
Elizabeth Windsor
John Sentamu
Rowan Williams
– Consumerism no longer discussed just taken as a given for many.
– Pornography issues linked to availability via the web.
– Growing scepticism and hedonism among young people.
– Drugs and Alcohol fuels domestic violence, escapism with ambiguous relationship to real life.
– Family break down a mistrust of long term relationships
– Pseudo-spiritual writings: like the Gnostic Gospels, the Gospel of Judas, Dan Brown's novels, Phillip Pullman's books, even the Harry Potter series.
– Suspicion of authority and thereby orthodoxy and organised religion.
+ Growing popularity of C.S. Lewis' novels.
– Richard Dawkins and Christians like Bishop Shelby Spong.
– Growth in militant Atheism
– The book The God Delusion.
– Creationism vs. the Big Bang theory argument
+ Alistair McGrath
Personal phones
Mobile technology
Satellite TV – multiple channels
*Vicarious Living, seemingly without consequences is causing damage to the soul.
It is not necessarily right for the Church to avoid the growing intolerance towards Christianity but neither should we seek to provoke secularists we must be prepared to answer them and we must continue speak truth, live justly, and love mercy. In the midst of all of this the Church must remain true to its own agenda and continue to be a light in dark times and places.
I invite fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to remember these issues in their prayers throughout the next year.
Yours in Christ,

Unputdownables is hosting a weekend read-a-thon. From her blog:
Are you like me with piles of book (or lists of books) a mile long on your To-Be-Read (TBR) list? Although I do read more than the average Jane, I don't read as much as I would like to. I keep passing my bookshelf wanting to get some of those books read! So, this weekend I am going to limit the TV and the outings (I've been gone for the past week anyway and have a trip to Tahoe coming up very soon… one weekend inside won't do me any harm), and the random errands and I'm going to READ! I'm rather looking forward to using the next few days to pick a few books off of my shelf to put in my Read-a-Thon pile.
So are you in? Come read with me this weekend!
Well okay! I will! I got home late tonight, but I'm gonna do it. I'm not going to try to do anything of TOO epic proportions, but well, I have this stack of library books I have been trying to finish and never getting around to. So HERE WE GO!
Book number one is Terry Pratchett's Unseen Academicals. Aaaand GO.

Yay! Glad you are joining! How;s it going so far? I haven't heard of Unseen Academicals... should I add it to my TBR? You will have to let me know when you are done. :)ReplyDelete
Go Go Go Go GO!ReplyDelete
Is it a good book? Huh? Huh? Huh?
- kemendraughJuly 30, 2010 at 5:12 PM
It's going! So far so good. I'm not far enough in to make a judgement call on the book yet, since some of Pratchett's Discworld novels are not as good as the others. But if you like satirical fantasy, he should definitely be on your list!ReplyDelete
I'll let you know about the book for sure once I'm finished :D
Hi, I'm just a cheerleader - not participating. Hope it's going well. Nice excuse for a take-out, no cooking tonight, right?ReplyDelete
I don't think I've ever read satirical fantasy before... will have to give it a try!ReplyDelete

Daily with De Sales: 1/16/08
It is a very fine thing to feel ashamed of oneself when one realizes one's own imperfections and misery, but the feeling must not drag on lest one lose heart. It is necessary to raise the heart to God with a holy confidence, founded not in our strength but in God. We indeed change, but God never does; He always remains equally good and merciful toward us, whether we are weak and imperfect or perfect and strong. I always say that our misery is the throne of God's mercy, and so we must realize that the greater our misery, the greater should be our confidence in Him.

text: Sorry for the title, trying to show my awesome sense of humor( though I am better a crude humor than anything else) My brohoe ( brother) told me to look up hotdog nail art. I asked why he is searching for nail art and he said he saw it on Girl Code on MTV….ok ? why are you watching girl code? Anywho I saw it and was like I had to do it. I only like Ketchup on my dogs so that is why only that is shown. 🙂

The Ministry of Finance has with immediate effect dismissed two (2) of its employees from the Department of Revenue for revenue related fraud, a release from the Ministry issued last evening noted.
After thorough investigation, the Ministry said it established that Madam Gbilee Dennis, Senior Collector, and Mr. George Gorlumah, Examiner/Cashier, from the Jorwah Collectorate in Bong County falsified revenue receipts that defrauded Government of US$5,000.
"These employees are no longer in the employ of the Ministry of Finance and anyone doing business with them will be doing so at his or her own risk," the release said, but did not mention any other action such as prosecution or payback.
"The Ministry of Finance wishes to inform the Liberian public that the public financial system has again come under attack from unscrupulous element within the civil service," the release continued. "However, as promised, the authorities of the Ministry of Finance will not relent in taking appropriate actions to ensure that such behaviors are fully punished and discouraged."
The release noted that as misguided elements within the employ of the Ministry of Finance have decided to continue their attempt to defraud Government of much needed revenues, "especially in our rural ports and collectorates, the Ministry has decided to intensify its efforts to seal revenue leakages and strengthen revenue collection."
False receipts and duplication of other revenue instruments by rouge agents are causing the government hundreds of thousands of dollars on a daily basis, according to the Ministry.
"Accordingly, the Ministry of Finance has launched a special revenue enhancement operation to ensure that regular and periodic spot checks and audits are conducted on employees and businesses in rural areas. This vigorous and aggressive spot check campaign will ensure that loopholes are closed and employees are monitored all in an attempt to enhance revenue collections," the release continued. "These operations come against established evidence that revenue fraud and loopholes undermine the Ministry's ability to successfully collect revenue. This enhancement operation will focus on revenue monitoring and awareness nationwide. To support this revenue enhancement undertaking, the Ministry has set up a dedicated fund to finance the frequent and spontaneous activities that are required under this project."
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance said it strongly believes that fiscal discipline, transparency and accountability can play a critical role in helping to contain corruption and raise the needed resources to finance our country's development.

7 Tips How to Draw People
1. Drawing Hands
Keep in mind the bone and muscle structure beneath the surface. In some places the surface is influenced by the angular bones, in others by the soft muscles. Don't round off all the forms or the subject will look rubbery.~from Walt Reed (author of The Figure)
2. Drawing People and More
A classic way to draw something with correct proportion is to create a grid and place it over your reference photo, then draw a grid on your paper. Erasing these lines can be a pain, so a lightbox (or window on a sunny day) can be used instead. Place the grid on the lightbox, tape it down, then place your paper over the grid. You can see the grid through the paper and there's no erasing later.~from Carrie Stuart Parks and Rick Parks (authors of The Big Book of Realistic Drawing Secrets)
3. Drawing People
A useful device is a shaft or midline, which is a line drawn through the middle of a human form to see how it is supported. A midline acts like the armature underneath movement and direction. It also simplifies the process of seeing and indicating the angles of specific forms.~from Robert Barrett (author of Life Drawing, now available as an ebook)
4. Opposites Attract
An essential principle of design that also relates to the human figure is the concept of opposites. The use of opposites, or contrast, exists in all the arts to create interest. In the human figure, a contrapposto position, where the weight is on one leg, is usually more interesting than one where the weight is equally balanced on both legs or throughout the figure. Each opposite helps strengthen and clarify the other.~from Robert Barrett (author ofLife Drawing, now available as an ebook)
5. How to Draw a Person
The muscles are the body's substructure. They are a big part of what gives the figure its shape and form. Understanding what goes on beneath the surface will help you see important details that might have gone otherwise unnoticed.~from Jeff Mellem (author ofSketching People)
6. How to Draw Characters
For a visual artist, choosing how to depict an event–what parts are emphasized and what are downplayed–is done through staging. If there are enough clues through the interplay of body language, setting, costumes, props and even artistic style, the viewer will understand the story and the meaning behind it.~from Jeff Mellem (author of Sketching People)
7. Make the Most of Your Time
Don't necessarily add more detail in a longer study–spend the extra time observing the overall pose more carefully. You may want to choose a less familiar viewpoint. This figure, for example, is foreshortened because it's seen from a high eye level. There are some surprising correlations of different parts of the body. Note how the fingers of her right hand appear to reach her calf and are even in line with the toes of her left foot!~from John Raynes (featured in the video Drawing & Painting People: Anatomy of the Body)

In addition to visiting with family and grilling some meat I think I will drink some Sam Adams. Seems like a patriotic brew doesn't it?
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
—Samuel Adams

this girls cracks me up.
this is the picture i found on the computer this morning.
she's looking good, huh?
those girls love a little photobooth time, once in a while.
can you see that she's on a rollercoaster in the picture?!
ha ha ha ha!
today little k is 'star of the day' at kindergarten.
basically that means that she brings snack for the entire class
(i sent along frozen yogurt tubes),
she gets to help the teacher with special tasks,
and she gets to do show and tell.
now, most children bring a favorite stuffed animal, right?
maybe a cool collection of some sort?
what did my daughter decide to bring?
her favorite blanket, affectionately known as "owl", was her pick of choice.
i'm not sure how many other kids will bring their favorite blankies for show and tell.
that certainly ain't gonna stop her!
she LOVES this thing!
(can't you tell by all the rips and holes?!)
she's just mildly obsessed and sleeps with it every night... and drags it around the house every day.
so, we packed owl up and sent him along to kindergarten too.
i hope they have fun today!!
(and i hope owl comes home on the bus too... or we'll have a major cry fest after school)

Dream Job
I'm not entirley certain what my dream job would be in the videogame development industry. For now I'd like to think that becoming an art director or lead designer for an independent game studio developing games that I love would be extremely rewarding. Being involved in gameplay design is very important to me as well as the visual design aspect of videogame development. At some point in the future I hope to be in a position where I have as much influence as I possibly can over the creative aspects of a videogame project because to me, that makes it more personal. Though I'd also enjoy being a part of a large collaborative experience as well, so in the end I want to have experience with both. Currently I'd be satisfied working in the entertainment industry at all producing artwork in 3D and 2D but I hope to expand on my creative freedom in these fields later in the future.

Hail Fellow Adventurers! It has been far too long since we have sat around a mug of ale and shared stories of adventure and daring. And even longer since we've had a laugh at the antics of Ec. Well Ec himself has not been doing much in the past months, mostly just hanging around Rohan and trying to pick fights
The Rohirrim in training don't seem to want to fight...
So today, I shall bring you the tales of Khory, Warden of the Alt Army of Ec!
Khory has been busy, making his way through Moria. Say what you will about the dwarves (silly, smelly, bearded gold-diggers) they sure do know how to make an impression. Where else will you see a forest of stone trees.
Oh and look...more orcs. It's as if the dwarves of Moria thought we would be missing orcs by this point in the journey through their home...
Some of you may remember the lesson Ec learned from his experience with Draigoch ("Fire Bad")....well Khory learned a new lesson:
Seriously....fire has no right to just be floating there....
Anyway, after doing several things to point out to the dwarves that Moria is no place for anyone not an orc, they were still convinced that they could "retake these halls"...So Khory had to resort to a form of...aquatic persuasion....
Note to readers: Hitting a dwarf with a fish only makes him smell worse.

Sometimes we get to play with bands, other times we have mats, and the other day we got to play with bouncy balls. Which I'm not going to lie I was excited thinking yay Dodge ball! So we go through the usual workout warm up, doing the yoga poses and then comes the ball sequence.
To clarify I was a tad bit late so there were fewer balls to chose from. So we are bouncing around up and down on this ball kicking our legs up in the air and then it happened.
Like a gunshot. Suddenly I'm not bouncing anymore. Rather I'm flat on back going Oh. No. Oh dear. Of course in my dreams nobody notices but in reality everybody turns and looks at me. Which was even worse cause who wants to look at a fat kid with their legs in the air sweating like I a pig?
Terrible. So that is why I have to go into hiding.

This is a quick and easy treat box to create. I cut two pieces of Real Red CS with the Top Note die on the Big Shot. I used the polka dot impressions folder and ran both sheets through the Big Shot. Glued one to the front and one to the back of the box. The snowman and snowflakes are 3-D foam stickers by Darice which I found in the dollar section at Michaels.
Punched holes on both sides of the box with my Crop-A-Dile and tied grosgrain red ribbon. Fast and easy and so cute. If you want the instructions for the box, please email me or leave a comment and I will forward them to you.
jewelry, etc. They make nice little Christmas

A friend of my sent this remarkable thought, I think it's been around for ages but just in case you haven't seen it, read on.
As Ben Franklin once said: "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria"
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of dung. (So i'm told)
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. Remember: Water = dung, Wine = Health .
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of dung.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service
This blog is just my views and opinions about every day life. Please feel free to leave comments about the way you see it. Grumpyhead

Bottled water is purified is it not???

I know a lot of people in the BBC who obviously drink a lot of wine every day, judging by the dung that they constantly speak.....
- 3 July 2008 at 11:36
WDB: It might say purified on the bottle, have ran down some mountain for a hundred years, so why does it have a sell by date on it.
It also says Daz on the side of buses, but they don't take in washing!
Don't believe what you read ..... even on this blog...

Seemingly they add some preservative/s to it...yes?no?lol

Happy Birthday to Fabulous Flay
She is one of my favourite people in the whole world. About a year and a half ago I met a new co-worker after I got a promotion and got moved downtown early. Flay joined my team and sadly had to leave when the mat leave she was covering came back. 2 people have now had Flay's job and tell them both to their faces they are no Flay.
Here is just scratching the surface of why I love this lady:
1) She is Fabulous. Anybody who gets an adjective like that in front of their name on our second meeting is someone I like. I heard from other co-workers why they didn't get a nickname. Not everyone can be Fabulous.
2) She loves Tim Hortons for breakfast. Me too. We used to always go and see Belt Bagel. The girl who call out all the BELT sandwhiches like that. Fact of the matter is all belts come on bagels. She should have been saying bacon or sausage. But she was too scary to tell.
3) She is the most excitable person I know. Famous for squealing (even in email as EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!) and arm squeezes (please see pic above.)
4) We often distrubbed the whole first floor by laughing. My loud annoying laugh, followed by Flay's "I'm dying. I'm dying." Then doors on the floor would slam.
5) Fellow maritiner, Margot has nicknamed her "Flava Flay" and it stuck as it should.
6) She is the friendliest person I know. I love the way her face lights up followed by running hugs when she sees me. All my friends love them some Flay too.
7) Power tools during construction make her scream. It's funny to see.
8) She loves snuggies and informercials and does good imitations of the young ghetto mom who says on the TBS commercial "I had kid's young too you know!"
9) She is a good person to talk to. Famous for saying "What! Okay, Can we talk about this."
10) She is a causal commercial actress. Check out this month pushing Rogers and Petfood.
11) She will also come out with me anywhere. She is one trooper.
The list goes on and on.
Happy Birthday Flava Flay! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Arm Squeeze. We dance Saturday.

There were also some beautiful views.
I headed out west to Mendoza for a well-needed weekend away. I had five days to travel because Monday was a holiday, and I decided at the last minute to take advantage of the opportunity. The weather in Mendoza wasn't supposed to be great, but BA was also predicted to face torrential downpours so I decided to catch a bus five hours before its scheduled departure for the beautiful mountain town. Susana had advised me to take advantage of every long weekend I had before I suddenly realized that my time here was up. Boy was she right. It would go on to rain torrentially the next 4 days in Buenos Aires, but in Mendoza the weather was perfect. Me and my buddy Ben took a 15-hour, cross-country night bus fully equipped with semi-reclining seats and shockingly minimal elbow room. With the help of unos tragos de Quilmes and two American movies dubbed in Spanish I was asleep and snoozed contentedly towards our destination.
Just before I left I snagged a book off a shelf that had caught my eye. It was called Marching Powder, a real-life story/biography of a British man imprisoned in a Bolivian jail called San Pedro for attempting to smuggle cocaine back to England. I won't go in to the details, but seriously this was one of the most interesting narratives I have ever read in my life. The details and intricacies of incredible hardship and incredible successes inside a primitive prison were enthralling, and god damn don't ever let me traffic five kilos of coke out of La Paz airport. I highly recommend it (not the smuggling, the book).
Anyway, Ben and I survived the less deluxe semi-cama bus service and checked in to our hostel with no issues. Hostel Internacional. We roamed around the city, eating some of the best damn garlic fries I've ever had in my life on the way. Mendoza is far quieter than Buenos, and I mean FAR quieter. It basically goes without saying but it was very nice to escape from tiringly blistering pace of one of the largest cities in the world. Besides eating and walking we didn't do much Friday. One strip of bars contains most of the night life within the city and we decided to check out the scene after darkness fell. After meeting up with a large group of chicks from our program who had happened to also choose Mendoza for a weekend getaway we didn't make it far. Our friend Liam, Ben, and I shared a Stella Artois and some conversation before all going our separate ways and ending the night.
Or I had assumed
As soon as we walked back in to the hostel we were greeted by eight or so drunken Argentinians passing the time in the lobby drinking and conversing until it was late enough (4AM) to head out to a boliche. Not wanting to miss a single opportunity to make some Argentine buddies I hustled up to my room to grab an extra bottle of wine and rejoined the impromptu fiesta. I ended getting pretty buzzed and ranting about politics that I don't even really keep track of to Argentinians that neither understood me nor knew enough about American current events to get most of what I was sloppily describing. After their, and now my, new female friends were done getting dolled up for the HUGE night on the town we walked the three blocks together to the club. Unfortunately, and in the end luckily for my pocketbook, the bouncer saw Ben, a new Argentine friend and I sipping out of a bottle of beer the young smart Argentinian had brought with him. For some stupid reason this was a big deal and we were subsequently barred entrance. Our nuevo amigo assured us that with a little insistence we would eventually walk through the door. I tried the classic I-don't-speak-any-spanish-why-cant-I-just-get-in-and-spend-my-American-money angle but boss man wasn't having it. Empty handed, but fifty pesos in cover fees richer. A penny saved is a penny earned.
Saturday would yield far more success. The day was started at the crack of dawn (1:30PM) as we left for our biking tour of the bodegas mendocinas. Our tour guide was interesting and the wine was as tasty as the surrounding scenery. Also the fact I only needed to wear shorts and a t-shirt was an added bonus because it's been cold as fuck in BA. I also randomly ran in to my old high school friend Michael, who had happened to be Mendoza as well and happened to be doing a biking wine tour, at one of the bodegas. We later calculated the odds of that happening to be about 1 in 473,988,363,132.3921. On the bus ride back I began a conversation with a French girl who was traveling the entire world. In ten months. Entirely alone. She had hitchhiked through Argentina and had stories to tell. She seemed so nonchalant about the whole thing. Get it, nonchalant? Cause its a French word?? Crazy, crazy girl.
Luckily, the night had some next level craziness in store which would luckily (or sadly…) involve the very same French chick. There was a barbecue planned through our hostel, an asado, but the real selling point was the "free tequila party" afterwards. We had been told we couldn't miss it. The food was good, but things really ramped up once dinner finished. Now this had been well advertised, free tequila from 11-11:30 was one of the major drawing points of the whole barbecue event for many of the young people in attendance, but I'm sure almost nobody knew exactly what was going to go down. I thought the same thing most other people were probably thinking, standard lines of tequila shots that people would put down until they couldn't stomach the stuff any longer. That was nieve of me.
I may see somebody take shots off of a girls nipple again, but then again probably not. It started with a siren alerting everyone in the bar that the tequila was flowing. Bartenders dumped tequila into mouths, eyes and noses as people lined up in order to get the privilege to lean backwards over the bar. At first everyone was worried about getting a bit of lime and salt, but that didn't last long. Quickly body shots were becoming the only way of getting tequila into your system, with some girls yielding (or suffering) five different takers at once. The chicks that continued to approach the bar via their rapidly increasing level of intoxication were eventually convinced to lower their tops and allow whoever could run to the bar first an opportunity to lap cheap booze off off their chest. Whilst a varietal hodgepodge of men and women sucked at various places on their body, the bartenders kept a steady stream of tequila flowing into their own mouths. Eventually they were liquored up enough to dump out entire boob to be used as a shot glass. Realistically tits make terrible shot glasses, but even a tequila flavored titty is a good titty. As my good friend Jules Winnfield would say, and as I repeated, "Now that's some fucked up repugnant shit." You're right Jules, I can't say I didn't witness a random stranger suckle teet for upwards of a minute longer that it should've taken to remove any amount of tequila from a breast. Poor French girl, but I'm sure it wasn't the craziest thing she'd been a part of.
Sunday Ben and I climbed Cerro Arco. It was a awesome climb made even cooler by the fact we only had to spend six pesos apiece for a bus to the trailhead. Ben was sure we would make it to the top even though an inevitable late start the next morning had forced us to begin the hike at 4PM. Before you judge, getting to the base was incredibly difficult, especially since the bus can only be payed for in coins (of which we had no means of acquiring) or with an equally unattainable transit card. All made harder by the fact we had no idea which fucking bus to take in the first place. Ultimately we reached the top faster than expected and got one of the best views possible of the city of Mendoza. Success.
Monday we had no plans and no cash so we decided to hit up the zoo. A choice not taken lightly considering the overwhelming agreement in the reviews posted on tripadvisor.com. They are as follows.
"SIMPLY APPAULING" -Leah K from Dublin
"Very, very sad experience" -Ben L from Mendoza
"Poor excuse for a zoo"
"Makes me want to take action" -Mandy S from North Carolina
"Horrible, depressing zoo" Ashley from NYC
One zoogoer even wrote "Realmente me deprimio y no pude explicarles a mis hijas lo malvado que somos los humanos."
That means they was unable to explain to her daughters how terrible humans must be to treat animals in such a way. And I don't blame them at all. One review wrote "the bigger the animal, the smaller the cage" which was entirely true and remarkably sad to see. Of the larger animals they had one or two of each, hippos, lions, tigers, bears etc. However, they had literally thousands of sheep and goats that did nothing except be boring and take up much needed space that could've been used for renovating the habitats. Most depressing of all was the polar bear enclosure, where Ben and I could only laugh at how unbearable the animal's situation was. See the photo I posted earlier and you will understand. He's laying face down as if he's just taken a couple .44 slugs in the back. Later I learned that this is literally "The Saddest Animal in the World," named Arturo. There is currently a petition to free him. At least we got to feed the monkeys, that made the whole experience bearable, except that the wetness on the monkey's little hands was very obviously urine and feces. A bonues, you could approach any of the cages essentially as close as you wanted regardless of its contents. It appeared the only employees of the zoo were the food vendors that sold hotdogs every few hundred feet. Not once did I see a uniformed worker. In fact, the only person I saw feeding and animal was a fat, native looking woman who outwardly appeared to be a poorly paid day laborer. Frankly it could have been any zoogoer tossing hay in to the elephant's pen and nobody would have noticed or much less cared. Crazy place.
So then we came home.
But my bus, which I paid 80 pesos more for "executive class," dripped water on me intermittently throughout the night from the emergency exit above my head. I then came home to my ceiling having the exact same issues with droplets of water collecting and falling consistently fro my ceiling. As I've been writing this there has been the plop of a gota de agua cayendo del puto techo. God that's fucking annoying. Repair man comes tomorrow.
Chinese water torture.

09/01/2006 - "In conclusion, these data imply that cardiac hypertrophy associated with chronic administration of rosiglitazone in dogs in previous in vivo studies might be partly attributable to production of the metabolite SB-271258 since this metabolite was shown to elicit trophic effects directly on rat cardiomyocytes."
09/01/2006 - "In re-differentiated cardiomyocytes, a model of relevance to established hypertrophy, SB-271258 (1 nM-1 microM) elicited a marked trophic effect per se, as evidenced by the maximum increase (at 100 nM), in protein synthesis of 24.5%. "
09/01/2006 - "The hypothesis that SB-271258 had potential to initiate cardiomyocyte hypertrophy or to modify responses elicited by other hypertrophic stimuli was tested in an in vitro bioassay utilising adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes. "

Max Gradel has clinched his transfer to Bournemouth, prompting reaction from fans of the Cherries, and former club Leeds United.
Bournemouth have clinched the signing of Ivory Coast international winger Max Gradel.
The club confirmed via their official website on Tuesday that the 27-year-old had passed a medical and signed a four-year deal, completing a move from French side Saint Etienne.
It is Gradel's second spell on the south coast, having joined Bournemouth on loan from Leicester City early in his career during the 2007/08 season, when they were in League One.
Gradel now gets the opportunity to have a crack at the Premier League for the first time in his career, and should be confident of success after a terrific season in France.
He scored 17 goals, and was Ligue 1's top scorer in the calendar year of 2015. This was accompanied with his exploits firing Ivory Coast to success at the African Cup of Nations.
Here's a look at how Bournemouth fans reacted to his signing...
Gradel and Tomlin in one day, takes our spending to 20m+. Mental how things change. #afcb— Roots (@SamuelJRoots) August 4, 2015
I love Gradel. He was my favourite loan player when I was still able to go to matches before moving away from Bournemouth #afcb— Tom (@TKB2293) August 4, 2015
Gradel's back at Bournemouth, I literally can't wait for Saturday! #afcb— luke askham (@LukeAskham) August 4, 2015
DELIGHTED about Maxi Gradel. DELIGHTED. In capitals and everything. #afcb #delighted #DELIGHTED— HUNTSPILL (@JimmyHuntspill) August 4, 2015
Bournemouth are not the only club in England where Gradel made an impression.
He is best known for his spell with Leeds United, where he became a real fan favourite, impressing in Simon Grayson's side along with the likes of Jermaine Pennant, Jonny Howson and Robert Snodgrass.
When he left in 2011 for France, it was a bitter pill for fans to take, and had they been able to win promotion to the Premier League in the mean time, it could be them instead celebrating the return of the winger.
Here's a look at how Leeds fans reacted to Gradel getting his shot in England's top flight...
Max gradel at #Bournemouth ! They have got themselves a gem of a player, very jealous #lufc— Kev Cressey (@kevincressey) August 4, 2015
Mad Maxi signs for Bournemouth. Great place for him. One of my vaourite #lufc players in recent years— Saahil D (@BhagArjunBhag) August 4, 2015
Good news is that we'll see Maxi at ER next season unless we get promoted. #lufc— Kim Bjerregaard (@KimLeeds) August 4, 2015
Leeds to get Bournemouth in the cup and Gradel to score against us. #lufc— Matt Cording (@MattCording) August 4, 2015
Come back home when Bournemouth get relegated this season lad @maxigr04del love you x #lufc https://t.co/Vw2Jmpnm3C— Josh (@joshdawsonbruv) August 4, 2015

Repair and re-cycle All at the Same Time - Un- Mounted Rubber Stamps
Yesterday I was assembling a set of clear mount stamps,the peel-off piece from the back of the stamp (which I usually discard) looked large enough for me to fix one that had torn on another stamp which has a sticky back.
So I placed the new piece over it.
traced around the outline
then cut out the new piece.
Last step was to place the new piece on the stamp.
Easy Peasy.
Now I save all my larger pieces of backing for who knows what other handy solutions.

Think of the back side of a clear stamp as a bonus image!
To stamp a solid design (say a lantern shape), ink the back side of a clear mount stamp that has a definite shape, then heat emboss. To enhance it even further, ink the detailed side of the
lantern with a darker ink and
into the embossing powder while still warm to create a slightly indented design with a solid mat.
This technique can be used with any closely cut clear stamp. Just think of the back side of the stamp as a bonus image especially if you don't have many solid image stamps.
I tried with gold embossing powder and black overstamp and white embossing powder and Razzleberry overstamp.
I used the resulting images for a card. I chose the gold and black and fussy cut them out. I added eyelets to the handle part and strung gold chord.
I used black cardstock as the base. Then some washi paper. Then a strip of Chinese red cardstock to highlight the lanterns.
Finished Card

I'm not going to go on a tantrum about all of the "smoke free" poker rooms in the country. What I will do is give 'props' to the one true poker room that stills exists today that allows cigar smoking and is properly equipped with ventilation. But before I get into this blissful visit to this kingdom of all my favorite vices (Cigars, Poker, Whiskey), let's get a few things clear.
While I totally understand the heatlh concerns of smoking and even some of the claims agains second hand smoke, but when do we look back into history and say to ourselves "hey all of these thing were fine in the 70's and 80's when we were children and wonder why we're such stick up the asses today?"
In the interst of time. I digress. Let's go back to the year 1999. Before there was a Cris Moneymaker or Antonio Esfandiari and by the way, David Williams was still sneaking into card games in Dallas as a teenager. But Im getting ahead of myself. I was living in Dallas Texas and driving over to Shreveport LA on the weekends to play poker. Let's keep in mind that these were the days where Poker rooms were not popular to casino management and many were being closed to make room for additional slot space. This was the case with the Horseshoe casino poker room, which was at the time, the only poker room left in Shreveport. As I made one of my final trips to Shreveport, I learned from table talk that there were other casinos just a few more hours down the road in Vicksburg, MS and around the Jackson area. I also learned that all the while I was driving to Shreveport, I could have just stayed in Dallas and played Holdem. At a higher limit than was offered at the Horseshoe. This was great!! Now I don't have to drive three hours, I can still play poker at a poker table and the dealer who invited me (who was also the dealer at this home game) told me that in the home game I'd have all of the same amenities as in the casino. Drinks, food, cocktails! Awesome. And so began my life as a Dallas rounder. More on that life later and back to cigars and poker.
Prior to attending the home game in Dallas, I decided to drive over to Vicksburg, MS on a long weekend that I had away from work. I found a game at the Ameristar Casino. I was a low limit 4-8 game, but hey, I was already 5 hours from Dallas and I wasn't going to turn around. I played in the game most of Thursday night and typical of a 4-8 game, it was loose as a goose. I began to inquire about where (if any) could I play a mid limit game in the area. I'm looking for 10-20, 15-30 or 20-40. I was told that if I was willing to drive yet another 45 minutes to Union, MS, I would arrive at the Silver Star Casino in Philadelphia, MS. There I could find a 10-20 Omaha Hi game. I finished the night at the 4-8, made a little profit then retired to my hotel so that I could get a good night's rest and drive to the Silver Star early the next morning.
To be continued…

Both Obama and Netanyahu need to stop the public sparring. I'm becoming as weary of Netanyahu as I am of Obama.
???What would you rather Netanyahu do? His country....and ALL its inhabitants are in mortal danger constantly.And YOU tell us you're weary of him.....nice. [/s]
I'm weary of him too. I am weary of my cousins being re-activated in the middle of harvest season, screwing up their years planning. I am weary of getting "Regrets" emails about very old friends and colleagues who got caught in the crossfire. I am weary of keeping the guest room clean so my relatives can come here to safety at a moment's notice.Mr. Obama, yes, I am weary of you. Shit or get off the damned pot.
Obama has "shit". He's chosen Iran. Now may be the time for Israel to think about getting off "the damned pot". And soon.
Yes, I am growing weary of Netanyahu. He has been preaching the dangers of Iran for almost two decades .... yet he has done nothing to stop them. I understand the mortal danger which is why I can't believe the Prime Minister has done nothing in all his years at the top of the Israeli power chain except tell the rest of the world what they must do while threatening to take unilateral action. If the threat is as dire as he states, why didn't Israel strike Iran like they did Iraq? A surgical attack early on that put an end to Iraq's nuclear capabilities before it became impossible to do so. Hopefully the PM has learned that all his talking about the threat has done nothing to stop it. The survival of Israel demands it.
If a "surgical strike" were quite that easy or imperative, it would have been accomplished by now. But it is not, for a myriad of reasons: lack of ground intelligence as to precise centrifuge locations, hardened facilities co-located beneath civilian population centers, a stealthy means by which to deliver sufficiently-penetrating munitions (likely: GBU-28 bunker busters) so as to avoid Iranian EWS detection (they have many Russian-made and Iranian-improved SAM's and experienced fire control teams on constant alert). Israel may well strike, but there will be heavy casualties, perhaps on both sides.
Good points. However, if reports are to be believed, an Israeli strike was set for the fall of 2012. If the reports are true, I'm hoping Netanyahu remembers he chose politics over security....and that it's not a winning strategy for Israel.
Good points. However, if reports are to be believed, an Israeli strike was set for the fall of 2012. If the reports are true, I'm hoping Netanyahu remembers he chose politics over security....and that it's not a winning strategy for Israel.
A strike would also bring catastrophic consequences to Israel. They are, more than anyone else in the world, truly faced with the prospect of choosing between the lesser of two evils, and having to guess which is which.
Yes, Israel is now between that proverbial rock and hard place. They're now paralyzed. But they weren't always. Ten years ago, Iran could have been "handled" by Israel and Iran's nuclear plans would have been significantly "altered". Western powers would still be privately back-slapping the Israelis and thanking them for taking action. Instead--all political focus and capital for the past decade has been spent on a great debate with loud, compelling speeches given to convince the world that Israel is right .... that Iran is a mortal threat . . . and that someone had better handle it. A terrible waste of precious time.

Exclusive Interview with Easton Corbin
We spoke to the budding star about his new album and upcoming charity benefit in Nashville
Written By: Stacie Standifer
Photographers: Kristin Barlowe
Ask Easton Corbin why he titled his new album, All Over the Road, and he'll tell you it's because that is exactly where he's been. Literally—from radio tours to opening for the biggest acts in country music, he's crisscrossed the map these past two years. But you won't find this crooner complaining. In fact, he seems perfectly at ease with the release of his sophomore album, which came out in September and features a number of top-tier songwriters. It's already being touted as one of the most captivating, classic country albums to have surfaced in awhile. So does more experience bring more confidence for this budding star? "I want to continue to make and deliver music that's true to me," he says.
Enter to Win Easton's new album, "All Over the Road"!
The crooner says he puts charity work at the top of his to-do list. He just spent the last few months driving a truck that will be auctioned off for the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund, which honors and supports our military heroes. It's a cause that's close to his heart. He says he relates to it because it "sends the right message" to both his fans and our nation's protectors. He'll also join several other top artists on stage on December 29 to raise money at the highly anticipated Ram Jam 2012.

SUCCESS. A few tears and a huge smile as I hoisted my bike in triumph at the Mexican border on August 31st. Part of me still can't believe it's over, and it was hard to take it all in at the border. Bicycle touring is amazing but there are certainly days when you just don't want to bike anymore, when you wish you could just get in a car and end up where you need to go, when all you want is some toast from a toaster oven and a real bed and not have to find a place to stealth camp on the side of the road where you may or may not get bothered by coyotes or townies. Standing under the Mexico sign, I had all those memories running through my head--of the excruciating hills, of the sheer feeling of flying down some of those same hills, of wandering in the ethereal sanctuary of the redwoods, of laughing with hosts on Vancouver Island that we'd probably never make it that far, of sneaking into hot tubs all down the west coast, of making stir fry in my thrift-store pot and fold-up stove, and of telling all of the strangers who asked "Yes, I'm biking from Canada to Mexico." Suddenly, that became, well, I BIKED from Canada to Mexico.
This was such a large trip, certainly been the longest and hardest physical challenge I've ever undertaken, that I could never look farther than the next major city or rest day. I concentrated on Seattle, then Portland, then Arcata, then San Francisco, then Santa Barbara/LA, and then suddenly... here I was, at the finish line. Pieces of a puzzle just falling together, and when I looked up, I had done something incredible that I never would have been able to do two months ago. Biking is about determination and true grit, not about physical ability. Anyone can bike 10 miles an hour. Anyone, with enough food and determination, can keep that pace up for 5 hours. And anyone could repeat that cycle for 8 weeks, which is more than enough time to make it from Canada to Mexico.
Now I'm back at my parent's house in Lexington, MA, trying to recoup some financial losses and reenter society. It was hard, the first week back, to get up and not have to go anywhere, to come home to the same place that I left, to not have a distance goal for each week and section of my day. But it was amazing, too, to rediscover the incredible technology like the refridgerator (what a wonderful idea! Cold food whenever you want it!). And so I move on to the next phase of my life. We'll see what comes next.
Jess is still making her way down the coast, taking plenty of surf breaks and having crazy experiences along the way. Last I spoke with her she was in LA staying at a commune with Max, who we met further north.
I'd been looking forward to this margarita since Canada. It was, by all accounts, the best and worst margarita of my life. The best, because I worked so hard for it and envisioned it for about 2,000 miles. The worst because, well, it was a gross margarita. But what could I expect at a place called "Gringo Plaza"? People asked me how far I biked into Mexico. And the answer is, oh, about forty feet. But hey, you know what? It counts!
My friend Julia, who I worked with at Outside Magazine in Santa Fe, is now living in LA. She rented a bike and biked the last 25 miles, from San Diego to Tijuana, with me.
Camping south of LA is not really an option. So we make it work in our own way, like camping out on a golf course in Laguna Beach.
This sign was from Big Sur. Normally, this sign would inspire fear and quaking in my spandex-clad knees, but by Big Sur I was in great biking shape and so inspired by the stunning scenery. All I could think of when I saw that sign is BRING IT ON.
Big Sur was the last true wilderness we went through before LA.
We came in under our fundraising goal for World Bicycle Relief of $3,000 at $1,700 (not all of our donations were registered on the website). I think this is more due to rookie mistakes--I was so overwhelmed by the trip itself that I could barely think about fundraising. Now that I'm back home, I'm exploring some other options to help us meet our goal. If you'd like to help us on our way, please consider donating by clicking here.
As I finished my trip, I think the perfect way to sum it all up is my favorite Grateful Dead song, Truckin':
Sometimes the lights all shinin' on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip its been.
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip its been.
Thanks to everyone who helped us out along the way. It wouldn't have been possible without you.
Happy Trails,

" Roger Johansson must write death metal in his sleep....this guy has more projects going than anyone else in Metal (Ribspreader,Demiurg,Carve,Those who bring the torture etc) "
" So a new e.p. for paganizer...I hear more old-School Death than anything else. Downtuned buzzsaw riffs and the gory vocals...gotta admit he constantly delivers the goods !
