The Most Holy Trinity (Year A)
We begin our Summer 'Ordinary Time' by celebrating a strange feast - not of a particular saint or event, but of the awesome paradoxes of our God, the Three-in-One, Father, Son and Spirit: so immeasurably distant, yet so amazingly close, so full of power and so full of love. It is love that is the key to the mystery: the revelation of God, to Moses and in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, shows a perfect love - a perfect unity. In the beginning, in the story of Creation in Genesis, God made man and woman 'in the image and likeness of God', to live together as a community of love. So too, the Church is an image of this perfection of community which is Father, Son and Spirit. We, as many members of one Church, strive in our everyday lives to imitate God who is Three and One, perfect unity and perfect love.
Notes for Readers
First Reading: Exodus 34:4-6.8-9
A remarkable reading - very short and simple, but with immense depth and meaning. Notice one thing: at the beginning of the second paragraph, it is the Lord God who speaks, saying 'Lord, Lord, a God of tenderness and compassion...' This is the peculiar richness of this reading: that God himself proclaims his own tenderness, compassion, kindness and faithfulness. It fulfils something God says to Moses just before this reading: "I will let all my splendour pass before you, and I will pronounce before you the name of the Lord." (Exodus 33:19) So here we have God telling Moses who he is - what he is like. This could easily be missed, so the reader will have to concentrate on bringing it out. There is a strange, almost mystical feel to the reading, as Moses shares this awesome but intimate moment with the Lord. Allow this to influence the way you read, especially emphasising what the Lord does and says: 'the Lord descended...', 'the Lord passed before him and proclaimed...' Above all, take your time, especially with the words God speaks.
Second Reading: 2 Corinthians 13:11-13
Another brief reading (which is always an excuse to take time over it), but with great riches. God is revealed as Three-in-One, united in perfect love: the members of the Church in Corinth are encouraged by Saint Paul to imitate this perfection, this unity, this love. So are we. There is almost a tone of pleading: the Church at Corinth had been in a bit of a mess, and Saint Paul's two letters to them contain some fairly severe comments: this is his final word, which tries to sum up all that he has said before. He wishes them to live as a true community, in the 'God of love and peace'. The reading is filled with very short phrases (very unlike the Saint Paul we usually hear, so allow this to come across clearly) - short so that they may sink in, and be remembered. Pause as you read each one, so that it becomes almost like a litany. This is a word from Paul (and so, because he is an apostle of the Lord, from God) which will almost require no interpreting, being so straightforward. Read it with great clarity.
From the Catechism
The Trinity in the Church and her liturgy
The Trinity and prayer
The family as an image of the Trinity
Many religions invoke God as "Father". The deity is often considered the "father of gods and of men". In Israel, God is called "Father" inasmuch as he is Creator of the world. Even more, God is Father because of the covenant and the gift of the law to Israel, "his first-born son". God is also called the Father of the king of Israel. Most especially he is "the Father of the poor", of the orphaned and the widowed, who are under his loving protection.
By calling God "Father", the language of faith indicates two main things: that God is the first origin of everything and transcendent authority; and that he is at the same time goodness and loving care for all his children. God's parental tenderness can also be expressed by the image of motherhood, which emphasizes God's immanence, the intimacy between Creator and creature. The language of faith thus draws on the human experience of parents, who are in a way the first representatives of God for man. But this experience also tells us that human parents are fallible and can disfigure the face of fatherhood and motherhood. We ought therefore to recall that God transcends the human distinction between the sexes. He is neither man nor woman: he is God. He also transcends human fatherhood and motherhood, although he is their origin and standard: no one is father as God is Father.
Jesus revealed that God is Father in an unheard-of sense: he is Father not only in being Creator; he is eternally Father in relation to his only Son, who is eternally Son only in relation to his Father: "No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
For this reason the apostles confess Jesus to be the Word: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"; as "the image of the invisible God"; as the "radiance of the glory of God and the very stamp of his nature".
Following this apostolic tradition, the Church confessed at the first ecumenical council at Nicaea (325) that the Son is "consubstantial" with the Father, that is, one only God with him. The second ecumenical council, held at Constantinople in 381, kept this expression in its formulation of the Nicene Creed and confessed "the only-begotten Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father".
Before his Passover, Jesus announced the sending of "another Paraclete" (Advocate), the Holy Spirit. At work since creation, having previously "spoken through the prophets", the Spirit will now be with and in the disciples, to teach them and guide them "into all the truth".68 The Holy Spirit is thus revealed as another divine person with Jesus and the Father.
The eternal origin of the Holy Spirit is revealed in his mission in time. The Spirit is sent to the apostles and to the Church both by the Father in the name of the Son, and by the Son in person, once he had returned to the Father. The sending of the person of the Spirit after Jesus' glorification reveals in its fullness the mystery of the Holy Trinity.
The apostolic faith concerning the Spirit was confessed by the second ecumenical council at Constantinople (381): "We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father." By this confession, the Church recognizes the Father as "the source and origin of the whole divinity". But the eternal origin of the Spirit is not unconnected with the Son's origin: "The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, is God, one and equal with the Father and the Son, of the same substance and also of the same nature. . . Yet he is not called the Spirit of the Father alone,. . . but the Spirit of both the Father and the Son." The Creed of the Church from the Council of Constantinople confesses: "With the Father and the Son, he is worshipped and glorified."

Why The Official WTC Tale Isn't True – David Ray Griffin
The Destruction of the World Trade Center:
Why the Official Account Cannot Be True
David Ray Griffin
Authorized Version (with references & notes)
In The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 (2004), I summarized dozens of facts and reports that cast doubt on the official story about 9/11. Then in The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions (2005a), I discussed the way these various facts and reports were treated by the 9/11 Commission, namely, by distorting or simply omitting them. I have also taken this big-picture approach, with its cumulative argument, in my previous essays and lectures on 9/11 (Griffin, 2005b and 2005d).[1] This approach, which shows every aspect of the official story to be problematic, provides the most effective challenge to the official story.
But this way of presenting the evidence has one great limitation, especially when used in lectures and essays: It means that the treatment of every particular issue must be quite brief, hence superficial. People can thereby be led to suspect that a more thorough treatment of any particular issue might show the official story to be plausible after all.
In the present essay, I focus on one question: why the Twin Towers and building 7 of the World Trade Center collapsed. One advantage of this focus, besides the fact that it allows us to go into considerable detail, is that the destruction of the World Trade Center provides one of the best windows into the truth about 9/11. Another advantage of this focus is that it will allow us to look at revelations contained in the 9/11 oral histories, which were recorded by the New York Fire Department shortly after 9/11 but released to the public only in August of 2005.
I will begin with the question of why the Twin Towers collapsed, then raise the same question about building 7.

Earlier this week we met with Hannah's cardiologist for her routine 6 monthly checkup. Since 2016 each time we've seen him it's been a case of checking her stats, having a echocardiogram (ultrasound of her heart), and then saying see you in 6 months!
But we have recently noticed Hannah getting more breathless after riding her bike or running around, and going purpley-blue quicker when she's cold (both clues to her oxygen levels dropping), so we'd wondered if this time he'd say it was time to start planning her third surgery, the second part of the Fontan.
What her cardiologist identified is that her stats have now dropped to the mid 70s (for comparison, a normal heart is rarely below 95% oxygen). For Hannah, it's been about a 5% drop in the last 6 months. Which means she needs to have the next stage of surgery. The plumbing inside all looks good though, her other organs are doing well and she's generally in good health, so it's not an urgent thing.
The next step is planning for her to have a day procedure called a heart catheter. That's when a small tube is inserted into her upper leg, and another from her shoulder, which will be used to check her heart from the inside and make sure she's a suitable candidate for the bigger surgery. Once that's done we'll meet with her surgeon and start planning more specifically. This all takes time, so we're not looking at surgery being till the end of this year or start of 2019. We also know that once the surgery is scheduled, it can easily be postponed right up to the last minute if here are more urgent cases. Last time Hannah had surgery it was postponed 5 times for a total of 5 weeks.
We're so thankful for the stability she and we have had over the last 2 years. Life has been quite busy in other ways during that time, including welcoming the twins, so it's been a relief not to have to worry about her heart too. But we've always known that one day we'd be heading back to Westmead for Hannah to have open heart surgery again. And that time has sort of arrived.
Please give thanks and pray for…
- Our beautiful girl and how she's grown and developed over the last couple of years. She's a smart, funny, cheeky and inquisitive thing and we are so blessed to be her parents.
- The medical care we have access to so close to home, and for wisdom for Hannah's care team working out the next steps.
- Strength and patience for us in the uncertainty ahead, trusting in our Lord who knows every day of our lives already.
- Wisdom loving and looking after Hannah, especially in terms of when and how to tell her about her heart condition and what's ahead. (I plan to write more about this soon)
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
Matthew 6:25-27

The lineup for Friday's Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports Network featured interviews with Jets coach Rex Ryan and Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt.
If you missed it (and shame on you if you did), there's still hope. Through the magic of Al Gore's handiwork, you can watch it (and pretty much anything else ever recorded by a camera) right now.
If you click the button, you'll see Rex's surprise at learning for the first time of Antonio Cromartie's boast that he's the best cornerback in the NFL, now that Darrelle Revis is done for the year. Ryan also talks about whether Cromartie will defend receivers without safety help, whether the Revis injury complicates the desire to make him a Jet for life, whether he can summarize Tim Tebow's performance so far in one word, and other stuff.This video is no longer available.

BRAZIL ICON Pele is in hospital after collapsing on Thursday. A statement released by the Football Writers Association (FWA) reveals that he has "has undergone a series of tests which appear to point to severe exhaustion.
"He is on fluids while doctors monitor his recovery. Thankfully there is no suggestion of anything more serious."
The 77-year-old was slated to appear in London this weekend for a dinner held in his honour by the Football Writers Association (FWA).
The organisation's statement further read: "Understandably, his medical situation prevents him from travelling to London for the Football Writers' Association Tribute Night on Sunday evening at The Savoy. But after discussions with Pele and his team, he has insisted the event should continue, not least because many of Pele's friends are travelling from overseas to be with us on Sunday.
"While it is incredibly sad Pele cannot attend the function, the FWA are grateful that all those who have been asked to pay tribute on the night - Gareth Southgate, Cliff Jones, Gordon Banks and Steve Hunt - are determined to help make the evening a memorable one.
"Pele's team have also asked that we film the event and send a copy to Brazil in the knowledge it will lift the great man's spirits to see his friends are thinking of him and sending their best wishes. With that in mind, we want to do Pele proud and make Sunday night as memorable as possible.
"It goes without saying, Pele has an open invitation to any of our functions once he regains his health and we are already discussing the possibility of him joining us in May for the Footballer of the Year dinner."
In recent years, Pele was treated in hospital for kidney and prostate problems.
Widely hailed as the greatest player of all time, he scored 1,281 goals in 1,363 appearances during his 21-year furlong, including 77 goals out of 91 appearances for Brazil.
Pele holds the record of being the only player to win three World Cups - in 1958, 1962 and 1970. He was named Fifa's Player of the Century.

Cable Gram Blog
Read, Learn -- and Knit! The Advanced Beginner
MKG Cable Gram — Volume 22, Number 4
So here comes Christmas! And what presents are you knitting? I'm only knitting one (so far). Our families are scaling back this year and one of the things my husband and I decided to do was anonymously donate gifts to someone in need who's all alone this Christmas. I got some info about our person from the county agency that runs the program, and one very clear detail is that our lady loves purple. So I'm knitting her a very purple scarf, using some nice acrylic worsted weight and a couple of novelty yarns that are also machine washable. And I just made up a simple design, alternating between stockinette and moss stitch, slipping the first and purling the last stitch of every row. I'm hoping that will keep the edges from rolling too much, because I don't feel like I know what I'm doing when I have to block something. Blocking just feels too, umm, sewy. And sewing is one of my issues that I'm working on, trying not to be frightened of it after traumatic childhood experiences. I got a C in Home Economics and have a dutiful mother who hated sewing but did it anyway because she thought it was required of a Mom, and thus was a scary, crabby lady when the blue Singer came out of the closet--that was always our cue to go play outside. But the scarf doesn't have to be perfect, so there. Just made with loving care. And this is supposed to be fun, yeah?
New Resources at Your Very Own Library
MKG Cable Gram——Volume 22, Number 4
If you love to knit socks, or just love the idea of hand-knitted socks, then you'll want to check out one of the "books" the MKG library acquired this summer. It's a looseleaf notebook filled with every issue of a now-defunct publication, the Heels and Toes Gazette. This short (but densely packed) newsletter was published by Dawn Brocco, a knitwear designer in Saugerties, N.Y., four times a year from 2000 to 2004: 17 issues in all. Enough Guild members recommended it to me that I spent $68 of our book-buying budget to acquire the whole run, then found an extra-sturdy binder to store it in.
Why Blog?
In the last issue of Cable Gram, I interviewed several local knitters about their knitblogs. I had one last question to ask them: Why blog? What is the value of having a knit blog? The responses were heartfelt and enthusiastic. "Being part of the blog community is the best benefit," says Renee of A Good Yarn. "I have met and/or communicated with many other knitters through my blog. I enjoy the opportunity to express myself and start conversations with others about things I care about."
Hunting for Treasure in the Textile Center Library
You won't find a whole lot of people who get excited about book classification. But when it comes to numbers stuck to the spine of a library book, Kathy Erickson's face positively lights up.
"This is so cool!" she says of the Bauerliches Stricken series, a three-volume set whose components, until recently, were in two different places on the Textile Center library shelves. These three unassuming-looking books by Lisl Fanderl, who has been called "the Barbara Walker of Bavaria," contain a wealth of German knitting- stitch patterns, all with charts. Now that they are all under the same classification number, they're lined up together on the shelf. Furthermore, a note in the library-catalog record means that all three books will turn up under a keyword search for "patterns for knitting."
Knitblogs: Part Two
MKG Cable Gram - Volume 22, Number 2
In the last issue of Cable Gram, I profiled several knitblogs that are interesting and diverse in the online worldwide knitting community. This time, I stayed closer to home and asked several local knitbloggers their thoughts and opinions on blogging. Blog addresses are given at the bottom of the article.
A Knitter's Tour
MKG Cable Gram - Volume 22, Number 2
Coldwater Collaborative, Excelsior
The Place: Ah, summer. Time to send the kids off to camp, grab your girlfriends, and spend a day exploring the many knitting temptations to be found in and around Lake Minnetonka. Begin your tour in the charming small town of Excelsior, where you can cool your tootsies in the lake; warm up your credit cards at the antique shops, spa, bead shop, and art galleries; and fortify yourself with ice cream and chocolates. Now you're ready for some serious yarn shopping, starting with Excelsior's warm and friendly Coldwater Collaborative. Opened in 2002, this 900-square-foot shop is tucked inside a building that dates to the 1920s, with stone floors, a working fireplace, and yarn nestled in every nook and cranny. In the summer, you can knit at café tables on the sidewalk out front while enjoying the scent of flowers wafting from nearby gardens. There's even a bed-and-breakfast inn (www.birdhouseinn.com) next door if you want to make a weekend of it. The shop's name may not shout "knitting," but rest assured, that's what they're all about here. Owner Carri Hammett picked the name because her shop is just two blocks from Lake Minnetonka, and she and her staff view their role as collaborators in the creative process of knitting.
Get the most out of your love of knitting! Membership benefits include pre-registration for Yarnover, organized public service projects and camaraderie with fellow knitters. Annual dues are $30.

1. What is SECUR1TY?
Security. Easier.
SECUR1TY is the 1-Stop Marketplace for security and compliance. We provide an easy, trusted way for businesses to connect with top-vetted security contractors and experts. In addition, we also provide free security tools to help make security easier - including a security search engine, and website security grading tool.
2. Who can use SECUR1TY?
Everyone! We have built our search algorithms to get smarter the more people use our site. We also encourage you to contribute your content by publishing Pro Tips on SECUR1TY. This way, your knowledge can get indexed and can benefit other people. By contributing content to SECUR1TY, you also get recognized for your contribution.
3. What does SECUR1TY do that Google doesn't or can't?
If you search for "Poodle" on Google, you'll get a page full of links and images about Poodle (the dog). If you search for "Poodle" on SECUR1TY (try it!) you'll get a targeted set of results that describe the vulnerability, and also listing experts who have dealt with that problem.
4. What is a SECUR1TY Grade?
We want to make security understandable to all, so we developed a simple, security grading system that is easy to understand. Our security grading system allows you to evaluate website security on an A, B, C scale (try: jetblue.com ). Our technology examines the components used to build a website to provide a security grade that you can use as a data point for your evaluation of the services you use and of the third-party vendors that you have. Our security grading system uses a 0 to 1000 point scale to evaluate the security of products and software components. For more detail, see our HELP section.
5. Why is it called SECUR1TY?
We call it SECUR1TY because our goal is for it to be the 1st place you go when looking for security answers. Security starts here.
6. What are some of the different ways I can use SECUR1TY today?
You can use SECUR1TY to answer security-related questions that you have, such as: 1. How secure are the website of my business partners? Search for them. 2. Who are penetration testers that I can hire? 3. How can I stay notified on updates to a vulnerability? Use the Follow button to create an alert 4. How can I stay notified about updates on vulnerable software components and products that I'm using?
7. What problems does SECUR1TY solve?
SECUR1TY solves the problem that while security is a critical problem, it's hard to find trusted and relevant security information, and it's hard to find the security experts and vendors that can help your business today. The best security information is siloed in proprietary databases and in the brains of security experts all around the world. SECUR1TY seeks to make the best security information searchable and universally accessible to all, by providing a forum where information can be liberated, and by providing transparency to the security industry.
8. Why does SECUR1TY offer security tools?
As we build our database of all things security, there are many ways to utilize the database aside from search queries. In particular, providing tools to help businesses easily assess their security is something that is straightforward to do and within our vision of making security universally accessible to all. Our vision for our security tools is to provide the tools that every business should be using to ensure a baseline of security. As our business grows, our security tools can also provide us with a source of revenue.
9. Specifically, what are the security tools that SECUR1TY offers?
Our most basic and ubiquitous tool is the Follow button. By clicking on Follow button (which is next to search results), you create an Alert. When there's an update to an item that you're following - for example, a software component such as a python package or ruby gem - you'll get a notification email. This is very useful to monitor products and software components for new vulnerabilities, for example.
We also provide a convenient Github scanning tool which checks your repository for packages and software libraries that have known security vulnerabilities.
10. How does the SECUR1TY Marketplace and the Project Submit form work?
When you are ready for your company to reach out to a security expert or consultant or compliance expert to solve a security problem or question, use our Project Submit tool to send a project to relevant experts in our community. We'll help filter the best bids and put you in touch with the top proposals. It's the key way that we help make solving security problems easier. For example, recently companies have used the Project Submit form to find PCI compliance experts, ISO 27001 compliance experts, and Penetration testers for their companies.

As much as I liked my previous header picture of Coombe Abbey Country Park, it didn't feel right to go with my blog title "Tothehills", so I've changed it to my recent photo of The Great Ridge north of Castleton …. The dark shadowy peak is "Mam Tor", then "Barker Bank" followed by "Back Tor" (with the lone tree near the top) …. The hill off to the right, with the summit not seen in the image, is "Lose Hill" other wise known as "Ward's Piece".
Why this image? Simply, I just love this ridge, it's a superb walk with fantastic views for the full length …. To the south is the Hope Valley and the expanse of The White Peak; to the north is The Vale of Edale and across to the Kinder Scout plateau. East and West have equally impressive vistas ….. as I said, I love this ridge walk … the last time I walked it ? – This week (August 2013) with my 11 year old son.

Unraveling: BZRK by Michael Grant
Title: BZRK
SSet in the near future, BZRK is the story of a war for control of the human mind. Charles and Benjamin Armstrong, conjoined twins and owners of the Armstrong Fancy Gifts Corporation, have a goal: to turn the world into their vision of utopia. No wars, no conflict, no hunger. And no free will. Opposing them is a guerrilla group of teens, code name BZRK, who are fighting to protect the right to be messed up, to be human. This is no ordinary war, though. Weapons are deployed on the nano-level. The battleground is the human brain. And there are no stalemates here: It's victory . . . or madness.
BZRK unfolds with hurricane force around core themes of conspiracy and mystery, insanity and changing realities, engagement and empowerment, and the larger impact of personal choice. Which side would you choose? How far would you go to win?
My Thoughts
I am a total sucker for books about hacking/hackers, specially with sci-fi elements. I was all good and ready to suspend by sense of belief for the nanobots, since it's not that huge of a stretch now a days. My problem came in (and this was like 20% in) when they started talking about the biots. My suspension of belief did not reach that far.
I'm supposed to buy that these biots which are the size of nanobots are made entirely with pieces of other animal DNAs, but not only are we talking animal splicing, we are talking human splicing, because to create a biot that you can control it requires that human's DNA that is going to be controlling it and that right there is where it went all out the window for me.
I tried ignoring it, not thinking about it too much, just go with the flow and try to not think too much about the specifics of biots, but it was impossible. Every time their connection to the human was mentioned or how they looked I was immediately thrown. It just wasn't happening.
I'd like to say that was my only issue, but I'd be lying. My other issue was the writing style. It made it really hard to get into the story as well. So not only was I fighting the idea of biots the whole time, but also the writing style. It made for a very hard read.
You maybe wondering why I'm still going to give it the recom that I am and it's because even with all my issues the book is well written and very thorough. The plot and characters are quite engaging, they were what kept me reading the whole way through even with my issues with the writing style.
If you don't have a problem suspending your disbelief about the biots then you should give this one a try. If anything it was an entertaining read.

The smashing guitars race
8 Sep 2010
The Americans were undefeated in the 4x100m freestyle relay until Michael Klim, Chris Fydler, Ashley Callus and Ian Thorpe swam one of the best relays in history. Klim opened for the Aussies and broke the world 100m freestyle record. After strong swims from Fydler and Callus enters Thorpe- who broke his swimsuit and made it on deck just in time for the race. Thorpe mowed down Gary Hall Jnr in the final 25 metres and the Aussies smashed the world record. They celebrated in response to Hall Jnr's quip that the USA would 'smash them like guitars'. Special thanks to ABC Radio Grandstand and Getty Images.

|Alan at Tixall Wide
As you can see from the pictures a day that started with glorious sunshine, although it ended in drizzle.
|waiting, Trent and Mersey lock
It was a day of meeting up with people - spotting some friends from Cowroast heading the same way as us at Tixall (they eventually turned back - it seemed to be a bit of a minor diversion from a major trip out), and then suddenly meeting one of Alan's old school friends at a lock later on. They were heading the other way to us, so we only had the briefest of exchanges.

I always think of Park Gate as where we picked up Sickle two and a half years ago.

Pelosi Deserves Margaret Sanger Award
Washington, DC—-On March 27, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi accepted Planned Parenthood's highest honor, the Margaret Sanger Award. The award was created to honor the legacy of Margaret Sanger, a birth control activist and the founder of Planned Parenthood.
American Life League, the oldest Catholic pro-life education and advocacy group in the nation, issued this statement:
"Modern apologists for the abortion industry whitewash Sanger's true motivation behind birth control. Sanger's work was never about women's health or rights. She was a leader in the eugenics movement, a so-called science that deals with the improvement of hereditary qualities of a race or breed by control of human mating.
"Sanger wanted to control the births of people she deemed as unfit, mentally defective, or having little value. She called the poor, the minorities, and the uneducated the weeds of society.
"In 1920, the year before she founded the American Birth Control League, which later became Planned Parenthood, Sanger published her book Women and the New Race.
"Sanger wrote, 'Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defective.'
"A rich, white, progressive like Pelosi, Sanger also dressed up her goal to eliminate the weeds of society as 'women's rights.'
"This is the award Pelosi eagerly accepted. And this is the recognition Pelosi richly deserves."

class="comic-item comic-item-6025″ />
We're Back! We missed you. Sorry it took so long.
As some of you have noticed, we?ve been dormant for a while now. It was a bummer, but we were at a point where free time was hard to come by. A few months ago we started talking about finding a way to get the band back together because it just stunk not doing this anymore. The ideas never stopped, it was just hard to find time to sit down and draw comics.
Now this may come as a shock to literally everyone, but we're not the greatest at drawing. We're actually not even very good at it. We are, in fact, the worst. It was one of the things holding us back from getting started again. Drawing the comics sometimes took hours for the simplest little sketch that should really only take 20 minutes for someone who's a semi-competent illustrator. That's why we decided to just get started again in the simplest form there is: written content. And we were actually surprised how much we enjoyed what we were making once we tried it.
We'll be sharing some of the stuff we've been working on shortly. Until then, we'll be whipping up a few standard style comics for you. We do plan to eventually expand to other mediums for our content again including comic form, but for now we're kind of excited about the potential for this medium.
We're happy to be back and thanks for sticking with us 🙂

"I had developed an allergie on my cheek from synthetic cosmetics and creams. My skin was red,flakey and painful for couple of weeks. Luckily I bought this gel and it calmed my irritated skin very quickly. In just few days redness was gone and now my face looks and feels great. "

"Fabulous Loose Mineral Foundation. So happy that I discovered this foundation. I suffer from hyperpigmentation and find it difficult to find foundation that covers it well but this foundation blends really well and conceals it perfectly. I've also found that I've had less breakouts since using it and my pores appear smaller. "
- Diane B.
"Amazing product. I have been using this moisturiser for about 3 years now! I have tried other organic moisturisers in the meantime but none felt as good as this one. I don't think I could live without it! It leaves no greasy finish, my skin straight away absorbs it all and feels soft and moisturised. I was always very sceptical about anti-ageing moisturisers and being only 28 when I started using it did not think that I will see any difference. But I was wrong! After a few months I have noticed that fine lines on my forehead has definitely reduced! And the best thing is it's organic, so it doesn't really matter if you are 18 or 50 you can still use it, even if you have no wrinkles! By the way, I have tried other PHB moisturisers and this one is defo my favourite, because of subtle smell and consistency. "

cyber-insurance, security, breach, DHS, privacy, hack, data, cyberaware, cybersecurity, cyber liability, small busienss, malware, hack attack, client information, client data
It is similar to a Chess Game, but different:
One player is focused on the game, the other distracted by other responsibilities associated with owning a business.
Almost half of Cyberattacks (43%) worldwide in 2015 targeted businesses with fewer than 250 workers, according to the 2016 Symantec Corporation Small Business Data Security Report.
The average cost of such a data breach for these small businesses is more than $36,000 and can be up to $52,000 including costs like notifying customers, mandatory forensic examination, credit monitoring affected customers for up to a year, and liability for fraud charges.
A March 15th report from MarketWatch.com focuses on the issue of small business vulnerability. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is doubling their efforts to educate small and midsize businesses on risk management as their susceptibility to data breaches increases each year.
According to Maureen Ohlhausen, the FTC's acting chairman, while speaking to a panel at Nasdaq in New York City. "We are seeing a huge amount of data breaches target small business, but they don't have the resources to withstand the impact."
There are two "Lines of Defense" Against a Business Becoming a Victim of a Data Breach:
Primarily: EDUCATION
The first line of defense against having business data compromised is to learn how to defend it. There are dozens of resources and thousands of articles available to help. Both the NCSA and the FTC offer resources, including training videos and guides, for small businesses in need of data security help.
Interestingly, it is not just the business owner that needs to be "educated" when it comes to protecting business data. Often breaches occur when staff members accidently "click" on an email containing a bogus "phishing" link (malware, ransomware, etc.) or create weak passwords. Just one employee using the word "password" as their password, is an invitation for Hacktivists to walk away with your data.
Secondarily: INSURANCE
You cannot monitor all your staff, all the time. (By the time you realize that a staff member has caused a breach, the damage is already done).
No matter what security system you invest in, you cannot protect all your data. For every Firewall and Software Upgrade that you install, the hackers are already figuring out ways to disarm and neutralize it.
So, what option do you have to truly protect your data (or at least minimize the damage if client or proprietary data is stolen?). You have insurance. A Cyber Insurance Policy is a MUST for small business owners, simply because: 60% OF SMALL BUSINESSES CLOSE WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF A DATA BREACH. The financial obligations of cleaning up a data breach and making your clients "whole" again is staggering. Cyber Insurance is the only way to go. The only true line of defense.

Titanic treasures for sale
March 30 - As the 100th anniversary of its sinking approaches, more than 5,500 items from the Titanic will go up for sale at auction. Tara Cleary reports.
A one hundred-year-old chef's hat that survived a shipwreck. It's one of the treasures from the Titanic, the unsinkable ship that went down in April, 1912 on its maiden voyage. Now for the first time since the tragedy, around 5,500 of the ship's items are for sale. President of Guernsey's Auction House in New York, Arlan Ettinger, says that several expeditions to the ship's wreckage yielded the items to be sold. SOUNDBITE: Arlan Ettinger, President of Guernsey's Auction House, saying (English): "That collection, along with a substantial body of intellectual property, is what Guernsey's is offering for sale now. Due to a court decision that took place last year the collection is being sold only as a collection in its entirety. It's not being broken up into various pieces." And the price tag for these collective items is $189 million U.S. dollars. SOUNDBITE: Arlan Ettinger, President of Guernsey's Auction House, saying (English): "Truly a huge number by any standard and yet when you think about it, not long ago, a few months ago, a painting, a single painting was sold for $250 million (USD). Ettinger says scientists believe the ship's remains are eroding and that this collection could be all that's left of the Titanic in years to come. The auction will take place on April the 11th, almost 100 years to the day that the Titanic sank. Tara Cleary, Reuters.

This was the Big Girl's second most enjoyed day of our trip, after our day trip to Lake Garda. We had a very early start, catching the 7:15am bus from Florence. The reason for the early start was Palio trials. The Palio is a horse race held twice a year in Siena around the Piazza del Campo. You can read all about it here. In the days prior to the race two trials are held, the morning one at 9am. We arrived in Siena at 8:30am and starting heading in the direction of the Campo. Soon we saw a mother and daughter wearing their contrada scarves (Porcupine) so we fell in behind and as we followed we became part of the stream of people heading towards the campo.
It's a 10-15min walk from the bus stop. Inside the campo, school children in contrada colours sang and chanted from grandstands in front of Palazzo Pubblico.
Sand covers the cobblestones and barriers are set up around the track. We could easily get a good spot close to the barriers to watch the trial. Soon the final barriers were in place, you need to be in place before that happens. The horses enter and do a lap, a loud explosive detonation alerts us that the trial will be beginning soon. The horses try lining up on the starting line ...
but one refuses and after some minutes all the horses do another lap of the campo before attempting again. This time the race begins and the front horses race past us, by the time
they reach us on their second and third pass, they are taking it fairly
easily. The trials are run to get the horses used to race conditions so
the outcome does not matter.
Still, when the second explosive detonation signals the first horse past the finish, members of the winning contrada vault the barricades and celebrate, gesturing enthusiastically and congratulating the rider and each other.
After the barriers are opened we take a stroll around town. I had pre-booked the Duomo for 11am and apart from lunch and the cathedral complex, our only plans were to experience the hill town. I had downloaded some walking maps and we decided to do the orange track before our booking at the Duomo. As we walked a large group from the Chiocciola contrada passed leading their horse, chanting and cheering all the way.
All the streets are decked out with contrada flags and lanterns.
So even if, like us, the crowds of the Palio on race day would be just too much for you it is certainly worth coming out on the days prior to get a taste of the Palio festival.
Siena itself is a beautiful destination. I'm going to save my photos of the Duomo complex for later because it is truly stunning ... one of my favourite churches ... possibly the favourite that we visited and deserves it's own post. We had some fun looking for the various contrada animals.
Admiring the view from the wall ...
Eating lunch at Osteria la Chiacherra, outside on the steeply sloping street on stools and tables with legs on the downhill side cut longer so the food and your bottom don't fall off.
Checking out the Campo without horses,
enjoying a cool gelato and a walk around the fort before catching the bus back to Siena.

Starla Schur is taken into custody Thursday after pleading guilty to theft, forgery and other charges.
(Steve Mayes/The Oregonian)
A former Clackamas County tourism department employee pleaded guilty Thursday to misusing a county credit card and spending at least $6,500 on personal purchases.
Starla Jo Schur of Wilsonville was convicted of theft, forgery, identity theft, computer crimes and official misconduct.
Schur's case was unusual for its brevity. At her first and only court appearance, Schur waived arraignment, entered a guilty plea and was sentenced, all in about 10 minutes.
An Oregon City police investigation found Schur spent county money on:
-- Airfare for herself and several family members to Florida, North Dakota, and California ;
-- Expenses related to her daughter's wedding in North Dakota;
-- A Living Social discount on 20 units of Botox;
-- Gifts for her family including new hiking backpacks for her daughter and son-in-law.
Schur, 53, was employed by the Clackamas County Tourism Department as an administrative assistant between March 2012 and September 2013. She was fired after the theft was discovered.
Schur would mix personal expenses with legitimate expenses when she submitted paperwork explaining how she used the credit card.
She forged her supervisor's signature on some of the documents said prosecutor Bryan Censoni.
Her actions "undermine public trust" in government and tars the image of public employees, Censoni said. The total amount hasn't been calculated but it may be around $8,500, he said.
"I took a wrong turn," Schur told Circuit Judge Heather Karabeika.
"I want to apologize to the county and to my poor, suffering family, " Schur said. "I'm so ashamed."
Karabeika followed the terms of a plea agreement and sentenced Schur to 180 days in jail. The deal requires Schur to serve 90 days in jail with time off for good behavior and the balance of the sentence on home detention.
Until Thursday, Schur had no criminal record. Before joining the county, Schur worked for the city of Wilsonville for 15 years

And the distance between them swelled with the soft tremor of tearful regret and mourning."
A. F. Stewart's story begins with Eva Douglas returning home and she is none too happy about doing so. Knowing what I now know about Eva Stewart's story, I understand why.
The Weeping Lady tells Eva's story and her tragic past, a past she's forced to confront yet again. Eva returns home because her younger sister is missing. As bad as this situation is, Eva must also deal with her mother. It's very evident their mother/daughter relationship is, in a word, strained. The search for the missing sibling is concentrated on a nearby stream.
The stream and Eva share a terrifying past, and it has to do with a weeping lady. The above quote comes from the story. It's a sentence located near the end and I included because I loved the language. Stewart beautifully paints a world of wonder and horror. As she describes the story's pivotal scene, I became uncomfortable because I knew what was happening and could see it in my mind. It was something I didn't want to see, something humans are capable of doing--the darkest side of ourselves.
The story culminates with a battle of wills, a battle I actually didn't know how it would turn out. Eva is strong and when she must face her past and battle for her future and that of her sister, she shows this strength. I know I'm being vague, but I don't want to give too much of the story away.
Like the other short stories in Beyond the Wail: 12 Grave Stories of Love and Lost, The Weeping Lady has lost love, and a hope for the future. Well done, Ms. Stewart!

Oh sweet Jesus!!
The "war", or to be more accurate the "arms race" against our little visitor has escalated.
We got back from Fridays gig to the sight of more gnawed veg in the rack, so Saturday morning saw us off to see our local "arms dealer" in the little hardware shop in Dunbar.
We came home fully equipped with the latest technology.... An electric "gizzmo" that emanates not only ultra sonic "noise" to scare the little buggers half to death, but also gives out pulses of "electro magnetic what-not" to disorientate them.
Anne also spent ages on Saturday with peppermint essential oil dabbing it here and there, as that's supposed to give the little sods the heeby-jeebies.
As for the "humane" trap??? Well that now has bait that consists of home made chocolate cake and peanut butter! Hells teeth, I fancy that myself!
Did any of it work? Did it F........
Came down the morning to find another avocado, two carrots and another spud had been got at. Probably used the oil to sooth their little feet after spending the night dancing away under the groovy lights of the useless piece of electro-junk.
The war goes on!!
I've added poison to our arsenal (sod "humane" traps - I'd happily thump it with a lump hammer if I saw it!!), and Anne spent ages in the cupboard under the stairs, cramped up like a Chilean miner, armed with duct tape, tin foil and wire wool, trying to block of all possible entry points.
This war ain't over yet!

The Great Eight
How to Be Happy (even When You Have Every Reason to Be Miserable)Book - 2008
Olympic Gold Medal figure skater Scott Hamilton shares his eight secrets to finding happiness in the face of a life filled with challenges, difficulties, and career-canceling odds.
Olympic Gold Medal figure skater Scott Hamilton shares his eight secrets to finding happiness in the face of a life filled with challenges, difficulties, and career-canceling odds.
With never-been-told, behind-the-scenes stories from the skating world, personal challenges including testicular cancer and a brain tumor, as well as divine miracles, Olympic Gold Medal figure skater Scott Hamilton shares the secrets to his lifelong journey to find the silver (and gold) lining in the clouds of life. His life principles, fashioned into eight secrets that begin with the rote of learning to skate the figure 8, are the keys. Scott says, "Skating taught me how to be happy. I have always kept these eight as my own private, personal secrets that I practiced daily with repetition, focus, and discipline. Now I want to share them with the world."
"For the past twenty seven years Scott Hamilton has been a mentor and good friend. I've seen first hand the struggles he has had to endure and how he has continued to persevere with a confident attitude. He lives his life as a champion. Everyone needs the positive message of this greatly inspiring book."

--William Shatner

"Scott's outlook on life continues to influence me in a very positive way, encouraging me to look at challenges in a larger context. Within the metaphors of his skating career, the wisdom in this book is not only very inspiring and easy to grasp, but surrounded by great story telling. I'm so glad he recorded it for the rest of us."
--Brad Paisley, Grammy Award-winning Artist
"It's like my bud Scott says…"you can't just skate through life and expect to be happy!" So anyone choosing not to buy this book is choosingnot to be happy. Shame on you."
--Kevin Nealon
Actor, Comedian, Saturday Night Live Alum
"A gold medal literary performance from a true Olympic star."
Richard D. Lamm, Governor of Colorado

I cannot imagine anyone better suited to write on the topic of happiness than Scott Hamilton. Through a lifetime of facing incredible odds he has learned the secrets to maintaining a positive attitude and can-do spirit. Spend time in the pages of this book and you will walk away truly inspired."
Bob Kain
Former CEO, IMG
Current Vice Chairman, Cleveland Browns
"After a myriad of setbacks, Scott speaks eloquently about survival in the face of adversity. This book deserves a 'ten' and a 'Personal Best' too! Bravo!"
Dick Button, Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, Emmy Award-winning skating analyst
"In each successive chapter and challenge in his remarkable life—as Olympic champion, as cancer and brain-tumor survivor, as devoted husband and father and man of faith—Scott Hamilton has forged ahead with unquenchable spirit and uncommon joy, always emerging wiser than before. This warm and insightful book will allow its readers to experience the blessing I've been privileged to enjoy in person: a delightful, practical, bracingly-honest conversation with one of our national treasures."

United States head coach Bob Bradley would be a perfect replacement for Roy Hodgson, according to Fulham striker Eddie Johnson.
Bradley is reportedly on a three-man shortlist for the post along with Switzerland's Ottmar Hitzfeld and former England and Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson. On Wednesday Eriksson appeared to distance himself from claims he was about to take the post when he revealed he was considering an offer to extend his contract as Ivory Coast head coach.
"Bob could do a good job at Fulham," said Johnson, who missed out on Bradley's squad for the World Cup despite being a regular for his country under the coach since 2006.
"If you look at the statistics then it's plain to see that he has done a good job with the US. They did well in the World Cup, won their group and played really well and that's all down to him.
"He's a very similar manager to Roy. He plays attractive football but also organises his team in a defined shape that is hard to play against.
"They are similar in a lot of ways. The training sessions are very similar and their style on the pitch is.
"Bob was always keen to come over to Europe to see how the game was over there and he has been over to Fulham's training ground a couple of times and has seen how Roy coached Fulham. I think that made their styles similar."
Johnson marked his return from a season-long loan with Greek side FC Aris by scoring in Fulham's first pre-season friendly against Brentford on Wednesday night.
The American, who spent the previous season on loan at Cardiff, has now set his sights on pushing for a first-team place although he faces tough competition from Bobby Zamora, Andy Johnson, David Elm, Diomansy Kamara and Zoltan Gera.
"Being on loan in Greece was good for me," he said. "It was a good league, a good standard. The target now is for me to get a first-team spot."

|Hear Harnetty talk about his discoveries in the Berea College Appalachian Sound Archives, plus full tracks from his recent release, Silent City.
It's easy to imagine that composer Brian Harnetty salvaged most of his equipment from various attics, basements, and yard sales. A scan of the stage at a recent performance revealed three worn turntables and a beast of a Rhodes. Even the tape deck looked like it remembered the '80s.
As it turns out, it was an appropriately theatrical way set the scene, because in a sense the music itself is something of a rescue operation. Ever since he was a music fellow at the Berea College Appalachian Sound Archives in Kentucky, Harnetty has been creating work that brings gem recordings from that collection up out of the basement and into the light. With a soft touch, he weaves these aural snapshots—a snippet of fiddle playing or the gravely voice of an elderly woman singing a half-remembered folk tune—with his own music. The elements feel loosely tied together, allowing the lines to float over and beside one another, slipping in and out of focus.
The archival recordings are rich documents, often capturing related memories or the nervous laugher of the participants along with the music. Harnetty sought these moments out. "The whole allure for me in those archives, listening to these things, was that these people weren't used to being in front of a microphone necessarily. So when they were being recorded, there was an awkwardness that I started to fall in love with," he explains. "In most commercial recordings, obviously, that's the part that gets cut out, so these in-between moments were really magical for me."
Pairing those moments with newly composed music became a rewarding balancing act as he looked to filter experimental ideas through older media, and older ideas through new technology. The pieces Harnetty has created with this material are showcased on two discs: American Winter (2007) and Silent City (2009), both on the Atavistic label. While the music on American Winter serves as a kind of frame for the samples, with Silent City Harnetty seems to have shifted the equation around a bit and used the archival audio as one strand in the braid. His own music takes a more central role, and he's also brought the striking vocals of Will Oldham in on several of the disc's tracks. Oldham, a highly respected songwriter from Kentucky, is a collaborative partner whose raw, Americana sensibilities perfectly suit this old world/new world material.
Despite the creative motivation Harnetty found in the archives, the resulting music isn't about stepping back into the past, but rather experiencing the past and the present simultaneously in a way that is instructive.
"I'm not too interested in sentimentalism or nostalgia; I don't want to be there. I like the idea of showing many layers of history," he says. And though the sounds are incredibly evocative, he's not so much telling you a story as helping you tell yourself one. He was inspired by his own childhood and family memories while making Silent City, but Harnetty acknowledges that each listener comes to the music with their own histories as well. Instead of fighting that, he welcomes a certain sense of ambiguity in the music and invites the audience to let the sounds take them where it may. "I can't control that," he concedes, "so I like to present the material and then try to get out of the way as much as possible."
In a way, creating this work was a kind of homecoming for Harnetty. Though he will never meet many of his collaborators, the sounds of Appalachia spoke to his own sense of personal history and helped him discover where his formal compositional training met his artistic motivations. Only then did his music began to find its own voice, he says. "I kept trying to be like I was in college, but that wasn't working. It wasn't until I started to pay attention to the things right in front of me, like literally in my room, or the landscape around me and the people around me, that the music became a lot better. It became a lot more personal, and it also became my own."

MIDDLETOWN, RI – April 18, 2001 – KVH Industries (Nasdaq: KVHI) announced today the completion of a private placement of 1,538,461 common shares priced at $6.50 per share, for a total of $10 million, to two institutional investors. These sales will bring the total additional equity raised by the company since year-end to $15 million. The proceeds of the placement will be used to finance the company's Photonic Fiber and Mobile Broadband R&D projects. KVH intends to register the shares by filing a Form S-3 during the second quarter ending June 30, 2001. Needham & Company acted as placement agent for the financing. The company's board has approved the sale of an additional $5 million of common stock priced at no less than $6.50 per share, which would complete its current financing plan.
"This additional funding allows KVH to accelerate the development of our two exciting projects – Photonic Fiber and Mobile Broadband. As stated previously, supplementary capital was necessary for KVH to take full advantage of these opportunities. We are extremely pleased that we were able to raise funds at attractive terms in such a difficult market," said Martin Kits van Heyningen, president & CEO.
The Photonic Fiber project is focused on developing a new class of products for high-speed optical networking applications. These products will combine the company's proprietary D-fiber with newly developed electro-optic polymers. If successful, the resulting photonic fiber technology would offer significant improvements in speed and cost for the $8.1 billion optical component market. Currently, fiber optic products from KVH are used to meet the growing demand for highly precise, cost-effective sensors in robotics, electrical current sensors, and other OEM applications.
The Mobile Broadband project being pursued by KVH seeks to develop solutions to allow automobiles to receive satellite television and high-speed Internet while in motion. Leveraging its expertise as a leading provider of mobile communications systems, KVH is developing ultra-low profile antennas practical for these applications. These antennas would allow automobiles to receive services via satellite, and would take advantage of the growing market for video entertainment, especially in minivans and sports utility vehicles.
KVH Industries, Inc. is a leading provider of innovative high-bandwidth communications products. Using proprietary fiber-optic and satellite antenna technology, the company is developing next-generation systems with greater precision, durability, and versatility for communications, navigation, and industrial applications. An ISO 9001-registered company, KVH has headquarters in Middletown, Rhode Island, with a fiber optic manufacturing facility in Illinois, and a European sales, marketing and support office in Hoersholm, Denmark.
This press release may contain certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The actual results realized by the Company could differ materially from the statements made herein. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to: failure to develop and market fiber optic products; lack of reliable vendors, service providers and outside products; continued poor military sales cycles; unforeseen changes in competing technologies and products; worldwide economic variances; and poor or delayed research and development results. Additional factors are discussed in the company's Annual Report on Form 10K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 8, 2001.

Analysis: AG files long-shot challenge of census
November 21, 2011
Attorney General Buddy Caldwell is trying to persuade the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn census procedures in place for years, which could reshuffle congressional representation around the country. It's a long-shot at best.
His lawsuit says the 2010 census included counts of illegal immigrants, holders of guest worker visas and people on student visas. The lawsuit claims that approach improperly skews the congressional reapportionment and gives states with large numbers of illegal immigrants additional congressional seats, while taking seats from states with low numbers of illegal immigrants.
"Louisiana's complaint simply asks the Court to require the federal government to recalculate the 2010 apportionment of U.S. House of Representative seats based on legal residents — just as the Constitution requires," Caldwell said in a statement.
La. Seeks to Ban Illegal Immigrants from Census count in Suit Filed with Supreme Court
Debra Cassens Weiss | ABAJournal
November 15, 2011
Attorney General Buddy Caldwell needs to take a look at a 2010 Census form. He said the needed information is already in the 2010 census results and a new tally would not be needed. Funny. I don't recall the 2010 Census including a citizenship/permanent resident question (or legal status) since he mentions 'illegal foreign nationals.'
