I have so much rattling around in my head right now. The emotions of getting ready to part with your first born child is really only one of those rattles. It's the one that I have written most about on 'thyme'.
However, the impending separation doesn't have everything to do with college transition. It doesn't really even have as much to do with the "leaving" part. Many of us parents might agree that at these late teen stages, these young adults are very ready and eager to spread their wings and fly.
It seems that, more than any other turning point as parents, this last childhood transition pointedly magnifies the final end of what has been a very defined role we have had for 18 years now.
This turning point is as much about us as parents too…our title, role, stage as parents will be transitioning on to another seemingly undefined stage that we will experience.
I see now what many people said years ago. It's true. When having that little baby in our arms, life defined as "mommy"…then as "Mom"…seems like its going to last forever. Not to be too terribly depressing, but, it is indeed only one of many stages in our lives…like childhood, teen age, and college years for ourselves, they are now behind us.
The other rattles clanging around in my mind right now (more so than my daughter's departure) is about my son. My son will begin the last 3 years of his high school years. This is where much of my time is and will be spent. So much tough work is ahead of him and as a homeschool mom, these 3 years will be my most challenging years of all of his schooling.
Academically, yes…for sure. It is tough to go through upper level high school classes (again…make that x 3). Focus seems to inevitably shift from "learning through living" to learning to "master that ACT/SAT test we all know and love.
What I find the most amazing, however, is not only the mental growth that occurs, but the rapidly defining spiritual, moral, political, and ethical awareness that explodes for that young adult. The change in maturity from freshman to senior is remarkable…and that is putting it mildly.
For many, that awareness has been carefully molded and defined early in childhood by the family and passed down in the form of religious and/or political orientation. For others, they are defined along life's path as experiences occur and shape outlooks on life, people, and events…while actively parenting.
I feel the burden of moving my son along these next 3 years with all of these higher learning skills yet to be learned and experienced…discussed and examined.
Along with these mounting responsibilities all parents of teens have to shoulder, there is added pressure by society to put a home schooled young man back into typical brick and mortar high school.
Reasons cited are "mental toughening for the brutal college environment" and "social coping skills for the onslaught of peer pressure".
The potential for creating a "mama's boy" or a "soft young man" is hinted in subtle ways that are difficult to ignore.
Thoughts and fears rattle in my mind that these might be legitimate concerns. Will my son be socially devoured and spit out in the workplace someday? We really just don't know.
But, I rather like the young man my son has become, even if it isn't anywhere remotely close to the Justin Beiber stereotype. I'm pretty darn fond of his strong moral compass, open minded acceptance of diversity, and disconcerted attitude on most popular trends.
I'm a bit of a rebel myself (insert wry smirk) so I guess it shouldn't surprise me that I hold more of these qualities dear as opposed to priding popularity status, no. of facebook 'friends' achieved, or pricey label acquisitions.
There is some hypocrisy that irks me to no end, however, observing a societal shift that occurs between middle school and high school. That nose-buried-in-the-book loving middle schooler becomes an even more voracious reader, if left unimpeded by society, in the high school years.
However, the kind and adoring eyes of "society" that graced that prized bookworm middle schooler are met with somewhat less than approving eyes on the booming high schooler. "Nerdy", "reclusive" and "socially awkward" are more apt to title that highschooler once described in different terms such as "book loving", "studious", and "contemplative".
Topics of approving conversation are often focused on sporting events, mass social opinions that fall squarely in the political "right" camp or the political "left" camp.
What we have found is that many people praise a middle-school aged kid for their uniqueness and non-conformity. At the high school level, however, these same kids are much more equated with normalcy if they look, speak, and behave like most others.
We realize no path of child rearing is the ultimate path. Are there any parents out there who can ascertain their decisions as parents were unfettered with mistakes and regrets? Many decisions we've made have had positive as well as negative outcomes. Learning styles vary from one child to the next and from one level of maturity to the next… even if those children have the same parents.
In conclusion, much is rattling around in this hard noggin of mine. These observations that are noted and decisions that must be chosen leave me exhausted at times and exhilarated at others.
I retreat to the farmer's market for eye-candy, relief from the heaviness of parenting, and move to sensory smells that delight the inner foodie in me. This visit, it was squash blossoms that displayed their lovely petals in front of me.
Decisions at the market are uncomplicated, gratefully satisfying, and result in savory delights on the plate for nothing more than pleasure. Once home, creamy herb filled goat cheese is delicately nudged into these apricot colored flowers. Whisked eggs carefully envelop the cheesy goodness. A quick pan fry to melt everything together results in a simple pretty little side accompaniment to some rosemary scented lamb chops.
The rattling ceases for a moment, an herbal scented meal is savored and appreciated…for its pure simplicity.
…and all seems quiet and clear when a good meal has dampened the worries of our world and all of the hopes sitting on the shoulders of the next generation of youth.
Pan Fried Squash Blossoms filled with Creamy Herbed Goat Cheese
squash blossom flowers
herb goat cheese (chilled is easier to stuff into the flowers)
chopped herbs of any variety
2-3 eggs, whisked in a bowl
olive oil or butter
Carefully wash and pat dry the squash blossom flowers. Take scoops of herbed goat cheese and gently push it into the inside of the flower petals. Heat a sauté pan on medium heat with some olive oil or butter. Once all of the flowers have been stuffed, roll them in the whisked egg mixture. Gently fry the flowers in the pan until the egg batter is cooked. Sprinkle squash blossoms with salt and pepper and enjoy them while soft and hot.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is investigating Lumber Liquidators Chinese-made laminate flooring after a national TV broadcast raised concerns over levels of formaldehyde.
Chairman Elliot F. Kaye said Wednesday that the agency is taking the issue seriously and is working to get answers for consumers, but it's too early to tell whether any flooring would be recalled.
"As a parent of young children, I completely understand and share the strong desire that parents and other consumers have to know as soon as possible whether these products present a health risk," Kaye said.
The agency is working with the Environmental Protection Agency, the
The move comes after a report on CBS'
The discount hardwood flooring retailer's stock jumped on news of the probe, rising $3.03, or 10.5%, to $31.86. The Toano, Va., company has said it complies with regulations for its products, including California standards for formaldehyde emissions.
Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc. said in a statement that it wants to reassure consumers that its flooring is safe, and it looks forward to addressing the issues with the Consumer Product Safety Commission and other regulatory agencies and lawmakers who have questions about its products. The company said Wednesday that it is fully cooperating and already has provided a significant amount of testing and safety information to the agency.
The company's executives also have criticized "60 Minutes," saying that the television program "distorted the facts" and used a test for its report that was not a "real-world" test. The Federal Wood Industries Coalition said this month that "deconstructive testing" removes a coating on laminate flooring that helps to reduce formaldehyde emissions and that the testing method is not required to meet California standards.
Lumber Liquidators has more than 350 locations in North America.

Kathi and I visited Arches National Park in October 2009. It was a beautiful sun-shiny afternoon without a cloud in the sky. Note the blue sky in some of the photos below.
Arches is on the Colorado River about six miles north of Moab, UT. The park covers about 120 square miles and has over 2,000 arches. I like the arches, but I am more awed by the brilliant red colors of most of the rock structures throughout the park. The arches are normally a lighter tan color and appear to be sandstone. The arches are often delicate and occasionally one will collapse. I remember a couple of years ago some visitors thought an arch was unsafe and forced it to crash. The proper procedure is to report safety issues to park rangers and they will get engineers to determine safety of the arches.
Vandalism is always a problem in public spaces and many people scratch their names in the rock formations. This is discouraged by park rangers and unappreciated by other visitors.
|I love the rusty coloring. Note the rock on the rightmost edge being separated by erosion.
|There are some really magnificent stone structures in the park.
|This arch will last forever -- solid rock above. Note the strata coloration.
|Most of the structures have names, but I saw no signs in the park.
|Another arch that will last forever in earth years.
|We did not see a lot of caves, but it makes sense that there would be some.
|I saw people standing in this arch later in the day. I estimate the top of the loop to be twenty four feet high.
Kathi and usually do driving tours, since neither of us do well walking up hill in the rocks. For more adventurous people, there are walking trails and guided tours available as well as evening programs.

Heather Hildenbrand's ESPERANCE is a thrilling addition to the Heart Lines Series. The story takes place following book two, INHERITANCE. Alex Channing is healed but no longer has feelings. He leaves Sam. Samantha Knight is trying to learn how to use her powers. She is troubled by Alex's change of behavior. This contemporary urban fantasy takes place in Half Moon.
Heather Hildenbrand continues to do a great job with her character development. I felt bad about what was happening to Alex. He was always leery of the price you pay when using magic. He does pay a price. I like Sam. She is becoming more and more like her old self prior to losing her memory. She is determined to learn her magic and help the werewolves and Alex. She is a strong and admiral heroine.
We find out some interesting about Breck Winters. I like the introduction of Koby. He teaches Sam some important things and helps support her. Indra is a fascinating antagonist. She is cunning and powerful.
The plot was well executed. A lot of thought-provoking events unfold in this story. I enjoyed the ending and look forward to the next book in the series, IMBALANCE. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Managed to get to the allotment on Monday afternoon. I'm so glad that for the first time we'd managed to dig over the plot last winter. Normally when we visit in March/April we have to start again removing weeds & tidying up but we'd worked hard before our hols in India so it looked quite good! It's not the same without Mikey the cat who sadly passed away last year but we do still see the foxes & hear the woodpecker.
It was great to pick our first purple sprouting & enjoy for tea! Early rhubarb & some leeks ready too.

Resolution for County Agricultural Society to use autherized contractor
posted on April 8, 2017 at 10:10pm CDT
This is a resolution for Ag. Societies to designate a contractor or vendor. Form 17 is to be used when the item purchased is to be annexed to real estate i.e. electrical wiring or plumbing. Thus if a ag. society regularly calls on a particular contractor or service company to make repairs which are annexed to the fairgrounds the resolution should be adopted and signed by the contractor and the form can be used to avoid multiple form 17 usage.
Form 13 is used for other purchases such as office supplies, ribbons or other items not annexed to the real estate making up the fairgrounds. Therefore the blanket box can be checked and left with the store. No need for a resolution to accompany this set of circumstances.vendor who routinely provides labor, services or material

Nameless is a modern street clothing store located on Depot Road in the historic Sugar Mill town of Waipahu - the West Side of Oahu.
Nameless was created as a result of the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. During that time, the owner's previous non-retail business struggled to stay afloat and creditors were calling. One year later, the company was dissolved. Despite having no income, he was still responsible for paying rent on the office space bound to a 3-year contract. Adding to the hardship, the office was flooded in a storm months later and everything was damaged, but not the owner's spirit.
He needed a plan to pay the bills. First, he subleased half of his office space to a family member. And, since he's a member of Hawaii's DJ team Nocturnal Sound Crew, he worked DJing clubs and parties at every opportunity to make ends meet.
One day while cleaning his garage, he rediscovered a pair of dead stock Nikes. That evening, the idea to launch a store carrying dead stock gear was put into motion. With no formal business plan, no investors nor working capital, the owner managed to build the store within three weeks fueled by passion and the drive to succeed. The store opened in 2012 to sell dead stock shoes and other clothing brands, in addition to their own signature line of t-shirts.
N Logo Ribbon Less is more.....
Finding the right name for the store was a challenge until the brand's creative director suggested Nameless. He did not want the brand to stick to a specific theme. The word Nameless fits the long-term vision of the brand; it allows for evolution and growth while remaining relevant in a changing society. The idea of Nameless is a tribute to the community and to the unspoken people who is building themselves for greatness. To be Nameless is to adapt and conquer your dreams. Never forget: the world is yours. NMLSWORLD.COM

From the time you decide to start a website to the time you throw up you hands and put your domain name up for auction, you will have problems with your website.
Most people will make a big deal about the amount of money you may be losing by having down time, but (for me at least) the biggest issue is that I don't want to spend a bunch of time that I don't have treading out of my depth to fix a website.
But stuff happens. Either I get ambitious or I try to mash-up too many incongruent parts and things break down….. and they must be fixed. A couple of things about me: I get massively annoyed to fix anything (my wife will mouth an amen to that) AND I am extraordinarily
lazy efficiency-driven. So, I thought it would be an interesting post to share how I minimize my aggravation and maximize my time to do anything other than spend time in an FTP client.
Or put more succinctly, how do you quickly diagnose and fix problems with your website?
There are going to be aspects of this (like mention of plugins) that are geared towards webmasters of self-hosted WordPress sites, but I think that if you were using WordPress.com or another blogging platform, the spirit of efficient troubleshooting would transcend the specifics of this post geared towards the self-hosted WordPress user.
"First you want to turn off all of your plugins."
Two truisms about any advice you'll get to fix your website: people will tell you to disable all of your (WordPress) plugins and change your theme. I think for most situations both pieces of advice are a waste of time.
Most of the time you know what you've done to create the situation that you're in, right? You went into your FTP client and changed a particular file and now your screen is a white siren screaming that you jacked up your code to the point of uselessness. You added a queuing plugin and enabled a bunch of options without understanding what they did. THAT is what's causing your problem. Or at least they are the most likely culprit.
So, the first piece of advice I offer for the lazy troubleshooter is to focus on the last change you made. Undo THAT last installed plugin. Undo THAT last change. That's a good place to start. Turning everything off will only tell you if your problem is a plugin or a theme…. an answer that in all likelihood you already know.
Google in quotation marks and search available forums
When it comes to errors with your website, Google is your best friend….. so long as you use quotations.
If you get an error message capture the entire message (unless it cites a line number, which indicates that you've dorked up some code), put it between a pair of quotation marks in Google and search. If you're lucky, you'll see a host of people who have encountered the exact same problem that you've encountered AND how they've solved them.
If you think that your plugin or theme might be the culprit, if you search wordpress.org for the plugin you should find a support page with problems other people have encountered with that plugin. Most premium themes also have support pages – I run Thesis on my site and they have an extraordinary body of support documentation on their site, and I've heard the same about Genesis as well. The admins in these forums are lightning quick to help you diagnose and fix problems as well.
If you cannot find anything in these forums you may want to check the forums for your server host, too (or seek some support from them). There are server-side issues that you may encounter that have little or nothing to do with anything you are doing on the client side.
Assuming that you found the solution to your problem through one of these methods, how do you fix your problem?
FTP Clients are frightening… and necessary for the lazy troubleshooter
What if you have dorked up a file and can't run the administrative page for your site? The error message tells you exactly which file you need to fix and what line of code you need to resolve to get your hijacked site back. What do you do?
You need an FTP client. I know that a lot of hosting services have web-based FTP clients (GoDaddy is one), but the user experience for a web-based client is a little lacking.
I use Filezilla, which is a free FTP client. After set-up, it's just a matter of logging in and you get access to all of your files. There are also controls built into Filezilla that prevent you from making file changes without a double-check.
Here's how this is helpful: say you've changed something about your theme and you're getting an error message telling you exactly which file is in error. You can download a clean copy of your theme to your local computer, log in to your FTP client and simply replace the problem file with a clean file. With a proper FTP client, resolving problems with your site can be just as simple as maneuvering files on your home computer.
To those of you with properly functioning websites, a public service announcement….
It may be that you're reading this and your site is running smooth. To you I ask: how are you backing up your stuff?
Imagine you get a piece of malicious code introduced into your site, which (for lack of a technical term) mucks it all up. What do you do?
If you have an off-server back-up of your files, it may just be as simple as replacing the corrupted files with your most recent backup (with your increasingly handy FTP client). If you don't have a back-up of your stuff you could (for lack of a more technical term) be screwed.
Please back your stuff up – there are plenty of plugins and businesses that do it automagically. There's no excuse not to, and you could be compromising all of the work that you've done to share your insight with the world.
So, my intent was to show you a little bit of how my lazy mind works. I hate spending any more time fixing broken stuff than I need to, so I find the most likely culprit, use the resources (Google with exact match search, product forums) to find out how people have fixed the same problem, I use an FTP client to replace corrupt files with clean files, and I always back-up my files off-server.
There's a good possibility that you read this and have an even more efficient way to troubleshoot and fix website issues. Selfishly, I hope you'll leave a comment and share.

A representative of the Kurdish self-defense units, Nuri Mahmoud said the YPG forces have no intention of attacking government forces.
Mahmoud remarks were during an interview with Sputnik about the relationship of the Kurdish forces with the Syrian government troops and the United States.
Mahmoud stressed that in the rural areas of Deir ez-Zor province, clashes occur from time to time between government forces and the YPG units, but the Kurdish forces "have no intention of attacking government forces."
Talking about the cooperation of the Kurdish forces with the United States, Mahmoud said: "The purpose of our alliance with the United States is to jointly fight against ISIL (referred to Daesh in Arabic), we have no other purpose in mind. We have no intention of fighting the Syrian government or anyone else. We want everyone to live freely and peacefully, we want an early resolution of the Syrian conflict within a united Syria. Our actions are always based on the principle of defense, not attack. Our forces fought against ISIL, because the group would never enter a dialogue, and it rejects the idea of a democratic settlement."
"We are fighting for the stability of Syria. A large number of people from all across Syria are moving to the territories that we liberated from ISIL. We have freed and control 40 percent of the Syrian territory to date," he said.
Meanwhile, Mahmoud denied allegations that ISIL militants joined the ranks of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
"We are the force that is continuously fighting against ISIL. Those who claim the opposite, want to simply distort reality. YPG and YPJ [women's units of the YPG] units are the only ones that defended Kobani from ISIL. The whole world knows about our fight against ISIL," he concluded.
Turkey's started its so-called "Olive Branch" offensive in Syrian Kurdish-dominated city of Afrin, on January 20. As Ankara had repeatedly emphasized, the offensive was aimed at protecting the Turkish border with Syria from the terrorist presence, referring to Kurdish formations in the region: YPG and the PYD, linked to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) listed as a terrorist organization by Ankara.

Well, I think it might be appropriate to remember how Paul responded when the mob was demanding his death because they thought he'd brought heathen into the temple...he addressed them in Aramaic (Acts 21:40, 22:2) and they calmed and listened (for a time) to hear what he had to say. This leads me to think it more likely that Jesus would have used Aramaic when teaching things that he truly wanted the people to understand (that he would have wanted to minimize the foreign-ness of the ideas by expressing them in familiar and comforting language).

Sons Charles, David, Frederick and William inherited Koch Industries after father's death. Charles and David bought out William and Frederick for $1.1 billion in 1983; fraternal fight over deal settled in 2001. Today Koch Industries has stakes in pipelines, refineries, fertilizer, fibers and polymers, forest and consumer products, chemical technology. Brothers each own 42%; collective fortune up $4 billion as oil and fertilizer prices soar. Sales last year: $98 billion. Employs 80,000 workers in 60 countries. Purchased Invista, maker of Lycra and Coolmax fabric, in 2004 for $4.2 billion. Dropped $21 billion on paper and building-supply vendor Georgia-Pacific the following year. Charles studied nuclear and chemical engineering at MIT, chief executive since 1967; cofounder of conservative think tank Cato Institute.

Recent research has proven that Vitamin K, in the proper formulation, can dramatically minimize the look of bruised or reddened skin.
Special formula helps fade and clear bruises; helps improve appearance of broken capillaries, spider veins, rosacea, and any reddened, irritated areas on the face.
No animal ingredients. No animal testing. Paraben free.
Reviva Labs, Vitamin K Cream $13.68
I bought this cream for bruising and scarring from shots and acne. If I hadn't tried it I never would have believed that this product works. I've used for two weeks - think it does help the skin tone. Gradually removes bruising and scarring, improves complexion. The dense texture, but is absorbed very well. Great for my oily-combination skin.Perfect cream for the price! I am really satisfied :)

When was your 1st cap and who was it against?
13th September 2008, at home to Sidcup. We lost by 2 points and I hit the post with a penalty in the final minute of the game. Thankfully I didn't get dropped for the next match, or things could have turned out very differently.
Favourite game you've played in?
Halloween 2009, we played away at Gravesend who were top of the league, and hammering everyone. We went down there, the team played like rockstars, and we pulled off a shock win. We then partied in fancy dress all the way back to Fairmile Lane. Awesome day.
What's the key to gaining so many caps?
I've been very lucky to have avoided long term injuries whilst at Cobham, but I just love playing for the club, so I have always tried to make myself available to play as often as possible. I'm just grateful that I've been given so many opportunities to represent Cobham over the years.
Do you miss Kevin Fisher in the centres with you?
I do miss having my old mate next to me in the centres, we certainly had a cracking few years playing in the middle of the park together, but we all have to call it a day at some point. To be honest, these days it's the quality of the younger lads playing in the squad that help carry me through games, and that's probably what has kept me going the last couple of seasons. Its been a pleasure playing alongside all the guys at Cobham.
You can see Arran make his 141st Cap on Saturday in the last fixture of 2015...!

Apple Pie Moonshine, Ole Smoky $4 (50mL)

I hope Dr. Robert Jeffress and Jerry Falwell, Jr. take note of this. They endorsed Donald Trump who went on O'Reilly tonight and yet again proved his lack of basic Christian knowledge.
The discussion was about Trump coming to the Fox debate. O'Reilly tried to persuade Trump to come.
O'Reilly then sought to appeal to Trump's capacity to forgive, reminding the billionaire businessman that he's a Christian, even if he doesn't attend church all that often, and that the Bible says to "turn the other cheek."
Trump shot back, saying he's a regular church-goer, and that the Bible also says "an eye for an eye."
How about we go to the actual text in the New Testament since Donald Trump says he is a Christian and not Jewish.
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Matthew 5:38-39)
In other words, yes Donald Trump, the Bible does say that. And Jesus specifically says not to engage in retaliation like that.

Message in a Bottle comment thread
</div class=img_thumbleft>In this week's cover story, Message in a Bottle, writer Peter S. Scholtes profiles local television star Ian Rans from Drinking with Ian, currently in its fourth season. An excerpt: "Drinking with Ian began with a 1996 video titled Drinking with Troy and Ian, co-starring his friend Troy Duckett. It consisted of two young, chain-smoking friends doing 13 shots of Jägermeister and Goldschläger over the course of an hour, getting progressively stupider... '[Troy] had alcohol poisoning for a week, and I puked for two days straight,' Rans says now. 'But it was always in the back of my head: If I were to do a show, it would be like that. Over the years it was refined into a talk-show format.'" Read the cover story here, check out some DWI video clips here, then come back to discuss.

- Rule # 1. Do not change your mind after placing the stop loss order. Many traders who had wisely put a stop loss order, cancelled the same once they saw that the market is going against them. Some shift the stop loss level to try and give time for market to move in the desired direction. This is a seriously flawed behaviour and may result in great losses. It is seen that 90% of the time a trader will be a winner if he maintains the original stop loss level and refrains from cancelling it. When you cancel a stop loss order you are merely hoping against hopes that market will reverse its direction and move in the direction of your trade. This can have a disastrous outcome.
- Rule # 2. Be firm in your mind while initiating a trade. You must decide to enter a trade after having given due thought to it. It must be done after you are fully satisfied, having done adequate research/consultation. How can you buy stocks when you don't buy vegetables without making elaborate enquiries about the right price!! But once you have arrived at an informed decision then be firm in your thinking and do not change your mind or cancel the trade without adequate reasons.
- Rule # 3. Should the market reverse direction never let a profit run into a loss of capital. This can be done by raising the stop loss level progressively. This system of progressively increasing the stop loss level will ensure that you roll your profits and cut losses. But the basic mistake that traders have been doing since time immemorial is that they cut their profits short out of fear, and roll their losses on the hope that the market will move in the desired direction. This is a serious mistake and should be avoided at all cost. Be resolute in your mind and use your stop loss orders effectively, and progressively increase them to stay with the trend, till the stop loss order is triggered.

Bureaucracies Gone Wild are Coming to Harass us and Eat of our Substance
Wednesday, August 31, 2011
It seems every day there is something new and more outrageous than last week coming out of this White House or the Alphabet Soup agencies. They operate without any law passed by congress, or if congress hears about it; they do nothing about it. The follow directives from executive orders signed by the President making law out of thin air with the stroke of a pen just like the Federal Reserve prints money out of thin air. At this point in our history where corruption reigns supreme in the highest levels of government, the sky is the limit unless restraint comes from the people.
We used to hear about an occasional raid by the IRS and the FBI stopping an illegal Mafia operation in the news. Now we hear about raids on roadside fruit and vegetable stands; shutting down the farmers market, they are going after people who like raw milk. The attack those who sell natural remedies for healing known ailments instead of using conventional modern medicine seeking an alternative remedy. Federal Firearms licensed Dealers are being subject to harassment for every little reason. The EPA is out in force to make sure our utility rates go up by creating an artificial scarcity producing electricity and small family farms are being shut down for the most obscure reasons that have nothing to do with farming.
The real economy is under attack like never before buy a White House that hates a free people. The do not want a free market and competition anywhere whatsoever. We see Gibson Guitars being raided because it is one of the few companies that produce a quality product employing American craftsmen and not made by Chinese slave labor. We went from a free market economy to crony capitalism or more like mercantilism where companies on the inside get favorable treatment over those not in the good graces to the government. The Corporations have merged with the government to wipe out all competition to concentrate the wealth into the hands of the few.
The Rest…HERE

The Effects of Urban Greenways on the Geography of Office Sectors and Employment Density in Seoul, Korea
Myungjun Jang1
Chang-Deok Kang2
1 Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Daegu University, Kyungsan, Korea
2 Department of Urban Planning and Real Estate, Chung-Ang University, Seoul, Korea
Creativity is a core value of the contemporary urban economy. Thus, the creative class in such diverse fields as science and engineering, architecture and design, education, the arts, and music and entertainment is the main driver of new ideas and technologies, and is the vehicle for urban economic prosperity. It is logical that city leaders should prioritize policies that solicit and retain the creative class in particular urban settings. We postulate that amenities are influential in attracting highly skilled and creative workers. Therefore, we hypothesize that the presence of an urban greenway influences the location decisions of businesses, because workers prefer to be in a clean and neat environment.
We test whether Seoul's urban greenway attracts and retains office sectors. In order to define office sectors, we integrate the typical office sector categories with Florida's creative class concept after a critical review of related literature. Next, we isolate the effects of the greenway on the spatial distribution of office sectors and on employment density by reviewing background theories and empirical research. Here, we utilize multilevel modeling to fit the data structure, discuss the main findings, and provide our conclusions and policy implications.
Our multilevel models confirm that Seoul's urban greenway tends to attract and retain firms in office sectors within a kilometer, while the freeway provides a favorable infrastructure for the geography of service industries. In addition, employment density increased within wide bands surrounding the urban greenway, in contrast to the freeway, which only had a similar effect within narrow bands.
This study shows that the urban greenway is a favorable factor for the location choice for the advanced and general office sectors, while the previous freeway infrastructure offered mobility benefits for the services category. The presence of public amenities has influenced the knowledge-based sectors' pooling near the CGC corridor. Businesses are more likely to locate in close proximity to the CGC corridor in order to attract better workers. In addition, the co-location of retail shops and restaurants near the corridor has attracted office sectors that tend to rely on aspects of the urbanization economy, such as social networking and the exchange of knowledge. By contrast, the freeway was important for businesses in the services sector because customers relied on access to the transportation network.
This study raises questions concerning constructed amenities in an age of climate change. These questions should be addressed by further research. Many city leaders invest public finance in designing and building amenities to convert auto-oriented urban settings into people- and environment-oriented sites. Further and more detailed evaluation of similar projects would provide better references for constructed amenities. We believe that the spatiotemporal frame of this study could provide a cornerstone for identifying local variables that generate the spatial differences affecting business location decisions and employment density.

I cannot live without books.
— Thomas Jefferson
I was reminded of the quote by Thomas Jefferson in an article that was in the Sunday Washington Post. When so much of our reading these days is from computers, iPads and other electronic devices, I hope the love of reading the printed word on paper is not being lost. Certainly, a lot of us old-timers would feel lost in a world without books and words on paper.
On vacation this year at the beach, I was able to spend some quality time with a few books the owner of the rental house had left for those of us looking for something to fill a few quiet hours. And amidst the joyful and wonderful noise and confusion of 10 people, four of them under 7 years of age, living in the same house, a little quiet time with a good book was a pleasant distraction. Though the material was somewhat dated, as you might expect in this situation, I was able to find four good reads to fill my quiet time.
Although I didn't know it until I heard it on the radio on the way home, Bill Bryson's "A Walk In The Woods," published in 1998, has been made into a movie, now in release, with Robert Redford and Nick Nolte playing the main characters. This book is a hoot. If you like anything about the outdoors, you will enjoy the way Bryson tells the story of hiking the Appalachian Trail. The major difference between the book and the film, from what I have heard and read, is that Redford and Nolte are 20 to 30 years older than the characters in the book.
I haven't seen the movie and probably will not until it comes out on DVD. Then I can put the DVD in the player and put my TV ears on to hear what is being said. But I can recommend the book. It is a very enjoyable read.
Mary Higgins Clark is a most prolific mystery writer. Her thriller "The Cradle Will Fall" kept me looking for opportunities to get back to this paperback to see what would happen next. You may wind up reading this tale, published in 1991, in one or two sittings. It was that good.
As a young fellow, I read every Ian Fleming novel I could get my hands on that told of the exploits of 007, the super spy James Bond. I wound up rereading "Casino Royale." In my humble opinion, it is not one of the best Bond novels, but it took me back to the time when I would have read the telephone book if it had the names of Fleming and Bond on the cover.
Finally, I spent time with a large, hardback book published by National Geographic on the history of the American Indian. It covered everything from the theories of Asians walking across the land bridge from the Asian continent and down through what is now Alaska and the Northwest Territories of Canada, to what is now the United States. It told of the devastation the Native Americans suffered after the arrival of Europeans on the Atlantic shore.
I confess I did not read the entire book, nor do I recall the exact title and publication date. Looking at Google, I find there are too many choices to be able to give you the precise reference. I include it here for the sake of completeness. It wasn't my favorite book, but early American history is a topic I enjoy. And while it wasn't the subject of this book, there was a fair amount of information about the interaction of the first settlers and the Native Americans.
I hope you have had a recent opportunity to spend some time with the written word, printed with ink on paper. My sister-in-law gave my bride a little sign that hangs on our refrigerator door. It is a quote from Cicero that says if you have a library and a garden, you have everything you need. I think that is about right. I trust you have enjoyed some of the words I have put on paper.

Re: Military suicides called 'troubling,' Nov. 29
Military suicides called 'troubling,' Nov. 29
The carnage resulting from the Canadian deployment to Kandahar continues. Three more fine young men are now dead; 22 full-time servicemen killed themselves in 2011. The results for 2012 have not been made public. More PTSD suicides could happen for years to come.
The Canadian deployment to Kandahar never should have happened. The battle group was insufficient in manpower and equipment. In particular, for a significant and vital period, the Canadians were the only force without heavy lift helicopters. This error resulted in ground supply missions along routes frequented by the Taliban. For this time period, the Canadian casualty rate was among the highest in theatre. More of our soldiers were killed or wounded delivering supplies than in actual combat.
The most dangerous and difficult Kandahar deployment fought for by Canadian diplomats in Afghanistan, so they could have their 20 minutes of fame projecting Canada as a "player on the world's stage," was not worth one Canadian life.
Furthermore, these diplomats should have realized, not one Afghan had anything to do with 9/11. That action was planned in Germany and trained for within the United States itself. The terrorists came from Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Egypt.
All we can do now is help our veterans. The money wasted fixing the mistakes on submarines, helicopters and fighters could have gone a long way in helping these fine young people.
Graeme Gardiner, Sidney, B.C.

Police investigating a report of an otter being trapped in the Antrim area have searched a house in the town and seized items.
Officers from the PSNI's Local Policing Team, along with the PSNI's Wildlife Liaison Officer, carried out the search under the 'Wildlife (NI) Order 1985 as amended' on Tuesday (8 December).
The search follows the report of an otter being caught in a trap in the area on Sunday 6 October. Several items were seized and have been taken away for further examination while it has been arranged that a 65 year old man will be interviewed in connection with this seizure at a later date.
Chief Inspector John Allen said: "A wildlife crime involves any action against any protected wild animal or plant which contravenes current wildlife or animal welfare legislation protecting Northern Ireland's wild animals and plants.
"Those who intentionally kill, injure or disturb protected wild animals need to be aware that you face the very real potential of being brought to justice. I would ask anyone who witnesses suspicious behaviour, or suspects that a wildlife crime is taking place or has occurred, to contact their local police station on 101. In an emergency ring 999. The report will be fully investigated and where evidence of a criminal offence is found the offender will be reported to the Public Prosecution Service with a view to a prosecution.
"Or anyone who wishes to report information anonymously can ring the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Thank you for praying for the four different outreaches which took place across France this summer. A total of 45 people from 9 different nations united to serve God with OM France in short-term missions, giving out around 6000 gospels, 20,000 invitations and a large number of Bibles, Jesus DVDs, or other gospel literature. Please ask if you'd like to read the full report for any outreach, but here are some highlights!
Ussel (Limousin)
A wonderful week doing letter-box gospel distribution in a beautiful region of France, literally taking God's Word to every household, no matter how isolated. An ambitious project by a dedicated church, and at the end of the week we felt like there was still so much to do! But we were reminded of the story in the bible with five loaves and two fish (Matthew 14), and the way God uses our smallest contribution to achieve wonderful miracles.
Pray that hearts are moved and lives are transformed by the power of God's Word.
Champs-sur-Marne/Torcy (Ile de France)
Distribution, surveys and kid's clubs! What a privilege to be part of God moving in the hearts of little children, during this outreach launching the church-plant in Torcy! It was such a blessing to be part of their lives for a week, and to watch the joy on their faces as they recited life-changing verses.
Pray that the word of God remains deeply rooted in their hearts, and one day produces ripe fruit.
Chalon-sur-Saône (Burgundy)
Four churches from different denominations partnered to bring true light to a city with a few committed Christians, in the street festival "Chalon dans la rue", and our team contributed through dance, mime, song and biblical art. What a great testimony of the Church as God intended, and redeeming art, Christians making a stand for their God: excellence for His glory.
Pray for perseverance for the churches of Chalon, that they remain true to Christ's mandate to evangelise and make disciples.
Retro Extreme (Pays de la Loire)
12 dedicated individuals, putting their normal lives on hold and stepping out in faith to see God doing amazing things! We partnered with two evangelical churches to distribute almost 3000 Gospels and even more invitations for an International evening. And we were blessed to be able to pray with people in the street and see God challenge others through our own life-experiences.
Pray that those who were challenged will turn to the Lord for His peace and freedom.

The same attack as described in the previous section. A more serious attack would be for untrusted injected script to make a direct connection to port 25 (SMTP).
