"Hey Baby, Wanna See My Anti-Rocket Laser Cannon?"
By Deane Barker on October 29, 2003
Anti-rocket laser cannon gets funding: Forget spy satellites — my new favorite way to spice up a conversation is to just blurt out "anti-rocket laser cannon!!" at random intervals.
"Israel and the U.S. are to spend at least $57 million for development of a laser cannon that can shoot down short-range missiles, an Israeli legislator and security officials said Tuesday."
I swear, the world is turning into a G.I. Joe cartoon — and not the old G.I. Joe series with the foot-tall action figures. I'm talking about the little four-inch guys from the early 80s with the stupid code names who all shot laser rifles in the TV show because we were too young and impressionable to handle real bullets. They had stuff like anti-rocket laser cannons.
Anyway, the second story on this page is just as cool:
"Also Tuesday, the Maariv daily reported that a U.S.-Israeli company has developed a gun that can fire at right angles. According to the report, the pistol, produced by the Florida-based Corner Shot Holdings, is being tested by the Israeli military and has already been bought by a number of special forces around the world."
There's a picture, and it's just nuts. Think of an M-16 with a hinge in the middle and a video camera on the front so you can see what you're shooting at without having to stick your head around the corner.

Understand this: I was touched by the crowd (in Saratoga) reaction to Rachel Alexandra's first defeat this past Sunday. She lost, but only because of the distance.
The 2009 Horse of the Year and 2-5 favorite, winner of last year's Woodward Stakes, had just finished second to a long shot named Persistently in the Personal Ensign.
She was racing in the longest race of her career…and it was a bit too far, I thought.
Nevertheless, she was ahead until she was caught at the wire.
Fans from the crowd of 23,347 still greeted her with smatterings of applause.
No wonder they call Saratoga the Graveyard of Favorites.
But even in defeat, Rachel Alexandra remained a fan favorite.
Not with me, at least.
You can go through the directory of great horses from A.P. Indy to Zenyatta and find horses that not only won, but were universally beloved.
Rachel Alexandra joins that list.
Then there are the titans the horse racing world over whose legend was formed in Saratoga.
Like Secretariat. He won three of four starts in Saratoga.
Or Man o' War and Whirlaway. Native Dancer.
Of course, there are cases of lovable losers. There's Zippy Chippy, the gelding that went 0-for-100 in his career and is now pensioned in Greenfield Center.
More often than not, fans' passion for a horse can peak and ebb from race to race.
Then there are the now-and-forever favorites. Rachel Alexandra lost on Sunday. One race is not going to change the hearts of so many who view this horse as something very, very special.

Punk Rock Journalist & former Much Music personality, Nardwuar the Human Serviette is definitely one of our national treasures. He's know for his freakishly well researched interviews & unusual approach. An interview with Nard is a litmus test for cool. Here are my top 5 Nardwuar encounters.
Nardwuar has interviewed Snoop Dogg something like 8 times & has had his Redd Foxx doll, Blowfly & Richard Pryor records stolen by the rapper. During the 2010 interview Nard was rendered speechless (rare) as he watched Snoop microwave a blunt for 11 seconds. Apparently it helps trap the ingredients in.
Arguably his most informative & genuinely rewarding interview to date. As per, "The Scientist, the RZA-Rekta, the Abbott", RZA takes control early on, with Ghostface, U-God, Cappadonna, Masta Killa & Raekwon all featuring. Nardwuar brushes on RZA's untouchable Kung-Fu flick game, as well as throwing out a few "way back when" records that take The Abbott by genuine surprise & lead to some genuine reflection regarding the history and inspiration for much of the Wu Tang material.
Who woulda thunk a seemingly plastic mega pop Icon could be like-able but she actually passed the test & you end up thinking she is kinda cool. She was so comfortable with the unusual interviewer that she freely divulged that her mom dated Jimi Hendrix & her dad was Timothy Leary's Acid dealer. We also discover she is a huge Andrew WK fan & thinks Nardwuar is the best!
#2. Michael Moore:
He was interviewed twice by Nardwuar, and conducted a guerrilla style interview the second time in 2002. At the last minute, Moore's publicist informed Nardwuar that Mr. Moore would be canceling all his interviews. This kinda sucked, until Nardwuar got a tip as to where he was staying and ends up going on a car ride adventure with Moore around Vancouver.
The ludicrously weird Orderus Urungus vs the zany Nardwuar. What a wacky and wild interview. Two favourite questions:
1)"What exactly does the future hold for Gwar?"
"Pain, death, suffering, torment, uh, Ouiji boards, uh flamingos, plated mail, flying 747s"
2) "Is there anyway to stop a Gwar show?"
"Yes don't go".

Are the Edmonton Eskimos sitting on the next Mike Reilly?
Certainly, the club would like nothing more than to extend the contract of their star quarterback and face of the franchise ahead of the Canadian Football League's free-agency deadline on Feb. 12, 2019.
But while they have had up-and-comers the likes of Jeremiah Masoli and Matt Nichols under Reilly on the depth chart in the past, options for a suitable replacement as quarterback of the future are severely limited at the moment. Currently, second stringer Kevin Glenn is coming off his 18th CFL season and, while he still may have some gas left in the tank – especially considering he didn't take a single snap for the Eskimos in 2018 – the five-foot-10, 203-pound Illinois State product will turn 40 just weeks ahead of the 2019 regular season.
And he is also slated to become a free agent in February, which leaves Danny O'Brien and all of his 107 pass attempts over five CFL seasons, and practice-squad quarterback Zach Kline.
13 QBs headed to free agency
Fortunately for the Eskimos, there are plenty of other teams in the same boat, with 13 other quarterbacks headed toward free agency in what will no doubt be a convoluted off-season made more complicated by collective bargaining with the CFL Players Association and emerging spring leagues south of the border.
On Wednesday, the Eskimos, along with the eight other CFL teams, announced the names of 10 players off each of their 45-man negotiation lists. And three of Edmonton's are quarterbacks: Penn State's Christian Hackenberg, Utah State's Jordan Love and Arizona State's Manny Wilkins.
Drafted in the second round (51st overall) by the New York Jets in the 2016 National Football League draft, Hackenberg is a six-foot-four, 228-pounder currently with the Memphis Express of the American Alliance of Football, after being selected in the second round of their inaugural QB draft.
Love is a six-foot-four, 225-pound sophomore quarterbacking an Aggies squad to a 10-2 record and a date with the North Texas Mean Green football team in the New Mexico Bowl on Dec. 15 (ESPN 10 a.m.). He completed 246 of 374 passes (.658) for 3,208 yards (267.3 ypg) with 28 touchdowns and five interceptions on the season.
Also headed to a bowl game is Wilkins, a six-foot-three, 200-pound senior who will wind up collegiate career when his Sun Devils (7-5) take on Fresno State in Saturday's Las Vegas Bowl.
Zylstra: 'He's my twin'
Another name of interest, which first appeared on Edmonton's neg-list in February, belongs to Minnesota State wide receiver Shane Zylstra. He is the brother of former Eskimos star receiver Brandon Zylstra, who parlayed the 2017 CFL receiving title into an active roster spot on his home state Minnesota Vikings of the NFL.
"He's my twin," Brandon said of his younger brother in a previous interview with Postmedia. "We think the same, we look identical. He's four years younger but we could pass off as twins.
"He's striving for greatness too, he wants to be the best in what he does and he's way ahead of where I was at that time, so I'm very excited for him. He's a freak athlete."
But before any Eskimos fans dust off that ol' Zylstra jersey that's been hanging in the closet since Brandon signed down there on Jan. 3, there is no guarantee a neg-list player will actually end up with their team, or even in the CFL, for that matter. Neg lists tend to be fluid with a maximum of 45 players who can be added, removed or traded at any time.
This marks the second time this year 10 players have been made public, with the first lists announced in February. Following the CFL winter meetings, the teams approved a measure to publicly share the names from their negotiation lists twice a year.

Making strategic consulting more intelligent
Most important strategic decisions are made with only partial information and uncertain outcomes.
However, the degree of uncertainty for many decisions can be reduced sharply by access to large data sets and the computational tools required to analyze them effectively. Tools which are often inaccessible to all but top tier businesses.
Vivero is a technology solution - aimed at strategist, consulting firms and mid-market businesses - that aims to reduce this uncertainty without the need to develop and invest in expensive proprietary infrastructure.

Jutting out into Ingonish Bay and dividing the bay into two distinct parts, the North and South bay, is a rocky finger of land known as Middle Head.
Almost three kilometres long, its rocky cliff shorelines are constantly waging a battle with the sea. In places it is narrow and saddle-like and looks as if the ocean is winning the battle.
About a third of the way out is the site of the Keltic Lodge. From the lodge, a hiking trail extends out to the tip of the Head. Mackerel Rock, Shag Roost, Whale Rock, Steering Island, and The Sunker are some of the coastal features that make the hike interesting.
South and North Ingonish Bays are fairly large crescent shaped bodies of water found on either side of Middle Head. Ingonish Beach extends along the southern shore of Middle Head, almost closing off Ingonish Harbour.
Across from Middle Head on the north side is King's Point. A few summers ago, we were lucky enough to spend a weekend at King's Point. Looking across each day at the beauty of the scene was a good enough suggestion to write about it. In the distance and over the top of Middle Head is Cape Smokey. It's a headland of over 900 feet and extends into the Atlantic. Several small coves are found around Middle Head—- Mink Cove, Seine Cove, Black Cove, and Corson's Cove. Corson's Cove is named after the early people who owned and settled Middle Head.
Henry Clay Corson and his wife Julia purchased the Middle Head peninsula in 1881 and moved there, building a large lodge, barns, stables, and even a sawmill. Many of the locals were employed on the estate. Many influential people often stayed at the lodge and even Alexander Graham Bell was a friend of the Corsons. Corson died in the early 1920's. His wife managed to continue running the estate for some years.
In 1936 the Cape Breton Highlands National Park came into being. By 1938, the federal government expropriated the Corson estate and Middle Head. The original home and lodge was torn down after a few years of operation. Some of the materials from the Corson lodge were used in the building of the glebe house in Ingonish Beach.
In the early 1950s, the present Keltic Lodge was constructed and officially opened for the traveling guests. A glance at a map of the area shows how the boundaries of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park skirts around the villages of Ingonish and Ingonish Beach and includes all of the Middle Head peninsula.
Expropriation of private lands usually leaves a very sour taste in the mouths of the original owners. Corson's widow fought for several years against the expropriation but in the end lost her fight. Workers and guests sometimes imply that the Corson ghosts still inhabit the Keltic Lodge. No wonder!
Several years ago, the National Park planned to extend its boundaries to the northern tip of Cape Breton to take in Bay St. Lawrence and the surrounding communities. The idea did not go over too big with the locals and the plans were dropped.
The Cape Breton Highlands National Park is a park "where the mountains meet the sea" and Middle Head is no exception. The view from anywhere on the peninsula is grand. In any direction inland, the mountains, Franey Peak to the north, Cape Smokey across the bay, and the mountains in the inner bay are a wonderful sight.
On our annual excursion around the Cabot Trail, usually in October, a stop for a cup of coffee at the Keltic Lodge is a must, not for the coffee, but to soak in the beauty of the surroundings.

I've gotten so many requests to do a custom home office tour for you…so here it is!
This is Episode 2 of my brand new show, SPI TV. A new episode comes out every Friday, so please be sure to subscribe if you haven't already. You can subscribe here on YouTube, or even as an iTunes Video Podcast.
I recommend you read the background story, however if you just want to watch the video, click here to go straight to YouTube.
Last year, my wife and I became brand new homeowners. It was a truly a huge moment for us because we had been renting ever since we were married (5 years), putting money aside each month so we could someday live in our dream home. It's not a mansion or anything like that, but it was a new build, and definitely an upgrade from where we came from.
Our goals in selecting our new home were primarily related to our kids. We wanted a kid-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks and recreational areas, lots of other relatively young families, and a top-notch school district. Within the home, it was personally a goal of mine to have my own custom home office that I could build from scratch in a way that was best suited for the kind of work that I do.
This is a quick video I sent to my designer to help give her an idea of the empty room we were working with, and some initial visions for what might be included within the space:
It was definitely a blank slate which was fun to work with, but that was also very challenging too. Over time, there were a number of design iterations, but the main direction was inspired by what I did for work and how I wanted the space to enhance that, which you'll see in the video.
It was quite a trip working on the "other end" of the architectural world this time around. For years it was my job as an architect and drafter to serve clients who would hire us for design work, and this time around it was me who was hiring the designer. I think it made my designer's life much easier because I could speak the language and easily read the elevations and plans for the space.
Here are a couple of wall elevations showing the near-final design drawings for the space.
West-facing wall:
North-facing (Street) wall:
I definitely invested money into this space, comparable to that of buying a new car, however this is where my business is done within the home and I wanted to optimize my space and my work to become the most efficient person I could be.
Invested being the keyword here.
It's definitely a contemporary, modern space as you can see, but I wanted the home office to look and feel entirely different from the rest of the home. When I walk in, I can truly check-in both physically and mentally to do the work I need to do, and when I leave the office I can close the door and check-out as well. This was very important to me because I've had issues separating work and personal life in the past. Since working in this office for a little less than a year now, I can definitely say it's working for me and has paid off for sure.
With that said, I'm reminded of 2009 when I filmed my first home office tour which was in an apartment that my wife and I rented. It wasn't anything fancy at all, and my office wasn't even located in its own room – just a small corner next to the dining area.
You definitely do not need to have a huge fancy space and spend a lot of money in order to get work done and build a successful business. You just need to be able to have a space to take action and get what you need done, and at the very least be motivated when you get into that space and organized so you can focus less on cleaning up your area, and get immediately into the tasks you need to complete.

Steaua Bucharest 0 Manchester City 5
Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick - and missed two penalties - as Manchester City all but secured a place in the Champions League group stage with an emphatic 5-0 win over Steaua Bucharest.
David Silva and Nolito were also on target as City, with Joe Hart again on the bench, eased to victory in the first leg of their play-off in Romania and maintained Pep Guardiola's winning start.
City's success would have been even more convincing had Aguero not missed twice from the spot in the opening 20 minutes at the Arena Nationala - continuing a poor European record - but ultimately that will probably not matter.
The tie looks beyond well Steaua heading into next week's second leg in Manchester.
Whether or not the Romanians will face a City side containing Hart remains to be seen. Guardiola again left the England number one on the bench and rumours that his future may lie away from the Etihad Stadium are growing.
Yaya Toure was also left watching at home in Manchester after being omitted for a second successive game and some pertinent questions over City's future make-up still need to be clarified.
None of this was evident on the pitch, however, as City flew out of the blocks in impressive fashion.
And, just as against Sunderland at the weekend, the revitalised Raheem Sterling won a penalty in the opening minutes.
Muniru Sulley was the guilty party but Aguero could not take advantage from the spot as Florin Nita saved and Nolito fired the rebound against the crossbar.
Aguero went close to making amends with a shot that flew over but Silva made no mistake as he rifled home a shot on 13 minutes after Sterling robbed Alin Tosca.
Aguero should have increased the lead after 20 minutes but again failed from 12 yards, this time after Aleksandar Kolarov was impeded, by blasting over. Remarkably it was his fourth penalty miss from his last five in European competition.
But despite this shortcoming, City looked irresistible at times with Sterling, Silva and Kevin De Bruyne buzzing menacingly.
Kolarov twice went close as he had a shot deflected narrowly over and then volleyed against the bar from a corner. Sterling might have done better when he got behind the defence but Nita did well to tip over.
Aguero finally got on the scoresheet four minutes before the interval, clinically firing home from 18 yards after racing onto a Sterling cross.
City did have a few moments of alarm with Steaua captain Nicolae Stanciu teeing up Jugurtha Hamroun and having an effort himself, but Willy Caballero - under obvious pressure to perform as Hart's replacement - dealt with both.
City made the result safe four minutes into the second half after another prolonged spell of possession which began when Fernandinho brought the ball from deep.
It ended with De Bruyne picking out Nolito with a clever pass into the six-yard box and the Spaniard rounding the keeper for his first City goal as Steaua appealed for offside.
With the job done, City went quiet for a spell but hit their stride again in the latter stages with Sterling testing Nita and Silva firing over.
Aguero then claimed the fourth with a crisp shot after combining well with Nolito and completed his treble in the 89th minute after racing through and clipping in a shot off the post.

In Daniels v. Canada (Indian Affairs and Northern Development), 2016 SCC 12, the Supreme Court issued a simple declaration meant to answer a long standing issue: Are Métis and non-status Indians "Indians" under section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867? The Supreme Court answered "yes" and has clearly held that the federal government has the power to legislate with respect to not just status Indians, but non-status Indians and Métis.
In Canada, legislative responsibilities are split between the federal and provincial level of government. For example, the federal government is responsible for legislating over national defence, and criminal law, whereas the provinces have the power to legislate over hospitals and property and civil rights. The federal government has the power to legislate over status Indians who are individuals registered under the Indian Act. This registration entitles status Indians to a wide range of federal programs and services such as non-insured health benefits and tax exemptions. However, neither Métis nor non-status Indians are registered under the Indian Act. Because of this, neither the federal nor provincial level of government has acknowledged constitutional responsibility for these groups. This has resulted in, what the Court identified in Daniels, as a "legislative vacuum" where neither Métis nor non-status Indians are able to benefit from federal programs and services. It is this "legislative vacuum" that sparked the litigation and the Court's decision to rule on this important constitutional issue.
Resolving the "legislative vacuum" as it relates to Métis is the crux of Daniels. The Crown conceded in oral argument, and the Court confirmed in its decision, that non-status Indians are recognized as Indians under section 91(24). As such, the Court focused on whether the Métis are recognized as Indians under section 91(24). After consideration of the historical and linguistic context as to how Canada treated and referred to the Métis, the Court held that Métis are Indians under section 91(24). For example, the term "Indian" has long been used as a general term referring to all Indigenous peoples, including the Métis. In addition, before and after Confederation, the government frequently classified Aboriginal peoples with mixed European and Aboriginal heritage as Indians. More recently, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada found that many Métis were sent to Indian Residential Schools in order to facilitate Canada's vision that there was no place for the Métis Nation.
The implication of Daniels lies predominantly in the potential impact on Métis and non-status Indians access to federal programs and benefits. For example, status Indians have access to non-insured health care benefits. Will the same benefits now apply to Métis and non-status Indians? This is a difficult question to answer and may require the federal government to reassess criteria as to who qualifies for such benefits. Under section 91(24), the federal government has the power, but is not required, to legislate. It is possible that the status quo will be maintained. However, section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms requires that all individuals be treated equally under the law. Now that Daniels has made clear that Métis and non-status Indians are Indians for the purposes of section 91(24), a failure of the federal government to extend programs and services to these groups may be in violation of section 15. The same logic can be applied to tax issues. Currently, if a status Indian works on reserve land, he or she is tax-exempt. Many non-status Indians and Métis work off-reserve which begs the question whether they should receive the same tax-exempt status that applies to on-reserve activities.
The other issue relates to the decline in the population of status Indians. As per the Indian Act, status is maintained by one status Indian marrying another status Indian. However, there is an increasing number of status Indians marrying non-status individuals which is reducing the overall number of status Indians in Canada. In light of Daniels, will the ever increasing population of non-status Indians have access to federal programs and services? The above issues and questions are ones that the federal government will either elect to consider or be forced to do so through litigation.
Finally, Daniels does not change the requirement for the Crown to consult with Métis people. The Powley case in 2003 remains the significant case regarding Métis rights and consultation. In Powley, the Court stated that section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 requires that Métis customs and traditions be recognized and protected. Determining who is Métis for the purposes of section 35 consultation involves a three-part test which includes the criteria that an individual be accepted by the modern Métis community. However, the Court in Daniels makes clear that section 91(24) serves a very different purpose because it is about the federal government's relationship with Canada's Aboriginal peoples, which can include those who may no longer be accepted by their community because they were separated from them as a result of Indian Residential Schools, for example.
Daniels is a significant yet simple decision in terms of what it means for the federal government and the future of providing programs and services to Métis and non-status Indians.

We think at least in large caps, it would be more of a timewise correction, Harsha Upadhyaya stated.
At the same time as the steep correction seen in small and midcap shares has taken even some pinnacle marketplace voices through surprise together with ace investor Porinju Veliyath, Kotak AMCs Harsha Upadhyaya says that the space ought to see greater correction. In an interview to ET Now, Harsha Upadhyaya stated that given the sizable outperformance of small and midcap shares in 2017, the gap was bound to remain volatile within the current year. looking at that the stock markets universal are buying and selling above the ancient stages, he said that a time wise or a price clever correction should show up in massive cap stocks.
We think at least in large caps, it would be more of a timewise correction. It has already happened for last two-three quarters and could continue for some more quarters. But in mid and small caps, where you do not get comfort of earnings growth if the valuations are high, than those stocks can really correct very sharply, he informed the channel.
Extensively, the cost erosion visible inside the current calendar year has baffled even investor Porinju Veliyath. We are going through a underperformance in PMS since January this year. An unusual sell-off in mid and small cap stocks is going on leading to irrational pricing of many of our portfolio stocks, ace investor CEO of equity Intelligence, Porinju Veliyath wrote in a letter to buyers last week.
To be very frank, Im a little baffled this time looking at the extent of erosion in portfolio value in such a short period, he delivered. however, he expects a substantial get better in price stocks. We will do some re-structuring, as required in a more rational market, he wrote in the note.

Cole Porter once composed a song called "Summertime", in which he wrote; "the living is easy, the fish are jumping and the cotton is high…." Well, he was right on three out of the four; I don't have any fish; but my cotton is getting higher. It's a pity he didn't mention the cactus though, because mine just keeps on blooming, rain or shine. As a matter of fact, the last two blooms have emerged in the middle of sultry, rainy nights, upending my previous belief that they only bloomed in the hot desert sun. The cactus was a gift from my daughter, and this is the 4th time it has bloomed in the last several months.
Now; let me get back to the cotton. I have only had one previous experience in growing cotton. That was about 10 years ago on the back porch of the house we were living in at the time. I had quite a crop. There were about 6 plants in all, which is like a plantation to someone from Brooklyn. The seeds come up fast, in only a few days, then after a few more weeks the little pink flowers; which soon turn white; appear. These are the harbingers of the cotton bolls which will take their place, eventually becoming hard and wood like husks protecting the precious cotton growing within.
There is little that can be compared to watching a seed grow into something as majestic as fully grown cotton. It's like looking at the history of ancient Egypt; and also like peeking into our own American past, when cotton was king, and human beings were enslaved for the harvest. And, in spite of the beautiful view, if you look at the fields hard enough, you can almost imagine hearing the crack of the whip.

Psycho Bunny Hops To It: New T-Shirt To Benefit Long Island Charity
First, "Ginger Ninja" was a term of endearment for Robert Godley's son.
Then, it became the name of his center console fishing boat.
Now, it is the inspiration behind a limited-edition t-shirt by his clothing company, Psycho Bunny, a percentage of which will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island.
"The idea of mentors helping to guide children and show them a different perspective on life, helping them realize their full potential is something I feel passionate about," Godley said in a press release. "It struck a deep chord within me, and I wanted to see if Psycho Bunny could find a way to help."
With this mindset, Godley created a limited edition Pima cotton t-shirt, available in both navy and white, with a signature Psycho Bunny graphic featuring his own boat and the joyful exuberance of a young boy that captures the free spirit of his hobby and mindset.
The t-shirts are available in men's and boy's size ranges, and are $50 and $40 respectively. Fifty percent off all proceeds are donated directly to the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island.

What does it take to make a face? Try $4,500. At Landon Meier's studio, you can try on a new face for a day. Meier specializes in creating hyper-realistic (and hyper-expensive) masks that could easily pass for the real thing.
image/text credit: Great Big Story
Take a test run at being Walter White, or try on Mike Tyson for size—Meier's surreal and nightmarish creations cover a whole range of celebrities and politicians, including the ever-popular viral sensation "Crying Baby."
Making these masks is no easy task—each one could take up to a year to complete. But for Meier, watching the astonished reactions to his craft makes it all worth it.He uses latex and silicon masks that are wearable and resemble almost 100 per cent to the original individual.
Meier has made some TERRIFYINGLY realistic masks of some of the key players in this year's presidential election.Today, his aptly-named company Hyperflesh is renowned for making some of the most accurate Halloween masks in the world.

For example, as England, you might get Robin Hood, a hero longbowman with 20 instead of 13 combat strength and a "treats forests as roads". When he gets killed, you get 100 culture, so you're encouraged to use him rather than keep him back.
It's quite a bit of work coming up with heroes for every civ. They can be real or fictional, people or vehicles. Ideas so far:
- France: Joan of Arc, longswordsman with 35 instead of 21 combat strength. 100 faith on death.
- Russia: Tsar Bomba, atomic bomb with a blast radius of 4 instead of 2. 300 science on death, er, detonation.
- Germany: The Red Baron, triplane with strength 70 and interception 100. 200 culture on death.
- Ottoman: Şahi topu, cannon with strength 35 instead of 20. 150 culture on death.
- Japan: Yamato, battleship with ranged strength 100 instead of 65. 250 culture on death.
- Spain: Hernán Cortés, conquistador with combat strength 40 instead of 20. 100 faith on death.
- Greece: Helepolis, siege tower with combat strength 20 instead of 12. 100 culture on death.

VISTA Members Share a Commitment to Community
CHP has just received a welcome infusion of young energy and talent that will help the organization revitalize and stabilize neighborhoods suffering from the negative effects of a difficult economy. As members of the AmeriCorps VISTA program, Darnell Parker and Amanda Schick of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Camryn Sorg of Virginia Beach, Virginia, will work for one year at CHP's corporate headquarters in Christiansburg, Virginia.
Founded as Volunteers in Service to America in 1965 and incorporated into the AmeriCorps network of programs in 1993, AmeriCorps VISTA is a national service program designed to fight poverty. Specifically, CHP's VISTA members will focus their efforts on building the organizational, administrative, and financial capacity of the company to better create affordable and sustainable housing opportunities, improve human services, and otherwise assist low-income communities.
"Our VISTA volunteers are a very important part of the CHP team," said CHP Director of Corporate Development Kimberly Strahm. "With their skills and commitment to the communities we serve, we will be able to assist even more people with their housing and energy needs—more effectively and more efficiently."
Parker, who works with the architectural team at CHP Design Studio, holds Bachelor and Master of Architecture degrees from Virginia Tech. Prior to arriving at CHP, he gained a wealth of community development experience as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in Izbiste, Moldova. Parker says he was motivated to extend his service experience by becoming a VISTA member because he "wanted to understand what poverty is in America and how it is defined in a developed nation as opposed to a developing country. I also wanted to learn how I can build capacity in my own country." Ultimately, Parker aspires to become a licensed practicing architect who helps develop impoverished areas locally and in remotes parts of the world through urban design and regional planning. When he is not working to strengthen communities, Parker enjoys reading, travelling, and strength-conditioning.
Schick is currently performing her second year of service as a VISTA member. Before working in CHP's corporate development and resident services departments, she was the Community Outreach Safety Specialist with LISC Milwaukee. As a University of Wisconsin student, Schick was able to apply her studies in political science to her role as Grassroots Campaign Coordinator for the Wisconsin Student Public Interest Research Group (WISPIRG), a consumer advocacy group. Although she is still uncertain as to where her career path will lead, Schick explains that working at CHP "is a great opportunity to focus in on options for the future. Being here is also a chance to be a part of a new community and foster new experiences while facing the challenges of poverty head on." While living in Blacksburg, Schick hopes to take advantage of the area's abundant natural resources and indulge her passions for gardening, hiking, and traveling.
Also a Virginia Tech graduate, Sorg double majored in environmental planning and international studies. While in school, she worked in the Virginia Tech Office of Energy and Sustainability planning sustainability and education events for students and also interned with the Virginia Beach Planning Department's Environment and Sustainability Office. Sorg would like to follow a career in sustainable community development, "which makes CHP a great place to start," she says. "I want to have a positive impact on the New River Valley community, which I loved being a part of as a student. I hope to learn a lot while working with CHP Energy Solutions over the next year and am very excited to be a part of an organization with such a meaningful mission!" A fan of hiking, running, and travelling, Sorg also has fun reading and spending time with her friends.

PHILADELPHIA — An employee is suing Wissahickon School District, a former employer, citing alleged age discrimination, disability discrimination, and wrongful or constructive termination.
Mario Sorgini filed a complaint on April 19, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Wissahickon School District alleging that the former employer violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that due to his age and disabilities, he was informed that if he did not resign, his employment would be terminated, for allegedly allowing an unauthorized person to enter school premises. On January 10, 2014, he was forced to resign under threat of termination, the suit says.
The plaintiff holds Wissahickon School District responsible because the defendant allegedly attempted to falsely coerce him to quit by telling him that if he was terminated from employment, he would be ineligible for disability pension benefits; defendant also falsely told him that it would help him apply for such benefits, which it never did, the suit says
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks compensation for back pay and front pay, punitive damages, attorney's fees and costs and for any other relief the court may deem appropriate. He is represented by Reginald Allen of Reginald Allen Law Office in Philadelphia.

My week in Paris
Paris has been on my bucket list for a while. Before Kenny and I started dating, I had traveled to South America, Costa Rica, and even South Africa, but I was waiting to do to the Western European tour with my significant other. We've been together 5 years now and while we have travelled a bit, we have been pretty pre-occupied with getting married and then pregnant 4 days after (yep!), building our business and building not one, but two houses. Needless to say, traveling internationally hasn't been on the top of our priority list.
When the year-long women's coaching program that I'm in announced a live event in Paris, I was ALL over it. I arranged for my parents to come and stay with Harrison, we bought our tickets, and Kenny and I were going to have a romantic week in Paris!
Kenny told me a few weeks before our planned departure that he wasn't feeling that excited about the trip. He had tons of work going on and just wasn't that into it and boy was my fantasy bubble of galloping around Paris with my love burst! In hindsight, while there were definitely moments that I wished Kenny was there, I was actually happy that he didn't come. It became such an adventure for me, I had a chance to do exactly what I wanted, I connected and made new friends with the women at the live event, and I gave myself the opportunity to be 100% in the experience for me and only me!
The highlights of my trip and lessons learned:
The day I left was really hard for me. I was worried about leaving Harrison for 8 days… worried about how he would do and quite honestly super worried about how I much I was going to miss him. Harrison did amazing (of course he did!). I came home to he and daddy having secret handshakes, new games they had made up, and a new super tight bond (sweetest thing ever!!) And me? I'm a little nervous to share at the risk of sounding heartless, but I actually didn't miss them that much. Eek!! I was on such an adventure, my heart was singing, my inner explorer/adventurer had the time of her life and my inner child was having a hay day with all of the shopping, beauty and femininity!
I'm walking away from this week renewed, refreshed and somehow not even negatively feeling the effects of jet leg because I'm activated and alive in a new way. I'm inspired, I'm committed to traveling again and I know my family and business will be better off for it.
What is something that you have been wanting to do, dreamed of your whole life, and know potentially could be a major transformational experience for you? Would love to hear your comments below!
Here are a few highlights and photos from the trip!

Lists all tags for the specified resource.
See also: AWS API Documentation
See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.
list-tags is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: Tags
--arn <value>
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
--arn (string)
The ARN of the specified resource for which to list tags.
--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--starting-token (string)
A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.
For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .
--page-size (integer)
The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command's output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.
For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .
--max-items (integer)
The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.
For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

"Bonnie photographed our wedding on May 16, 2015, and we simply could not be happier with her work! She helped us make the most of our limited time at the ceremony venue, getting more quality shots than we ever dreamed possible, and then also did a lovely job with our lunch reception. She has a really great eye, and had wonderful outside-of-the-box ideas. We would work with her again for any type of occasion! And, best of all for a couple like us trying to have a lovely wedding on a small budget, she is very affordable. Book her now, before her fees catch up to her talent! :)" -- Anne S.
"Bonnie does a great job! She has photographed my wedding, family portraits and this weekend she will be capturing my daughter's first birthday. Her photos always turn out beautifully and I could not be happier with her work." -- Christina H.
"Bonnie was very professional, arriving early and recommending poses, sites, and random little cool photo ops that we would never have come up with. After the ceremony, she was unobtrusive but was clearly very busy taking shots of groups of family and friends that did not involve us (bride and groom) and then getting us into the best shots with our families and friends. The final package of photos was more than we expected." -- Jeff D.
"Bonnie did a great job at our wedding! She ran around all day getting pre-wedding shots and ending the night with great reception pictures. She did an amazing job and was able to get a great variety of posed shots, as well as candid moments. Her kind and pleasant attitude throughout the event was so reassuring (especially since it was a 90 degree August day!). She did a great job editing our pictures and returning them to us quickly. We had so many options and got several great pictures printed. Bonnie made it so we had one less thing to stress about on our wedding day! I plan on using her again to take photos of our family and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great event photographer!" -- Allison J.
I was very pleased with my engagement session and wedding photography from Bonnie. She was an incredible value compared to other wedding photographers in the Huntsville area with the same high quality of work. I had a two hour engagement photo (or bridal portrait) session, 8 hours with Bonnie and a second shooter on my wedding day, USB drives containing all edited images from both sessions, and a 100-picture photo album put together by Bonnie with photos of my choosing. Bonnie is very easy to work with and genuinely seems to enjoy what she does." -- Traci L.
"I was very pleased with the photography services I received for our day-after-wedding party. Bonnie was a pleasure to work with and gave me many wonderful shots. I was so happy with her that I recommended her for my close friend's wedding, and I would recommend her again to anyone who wants a great photographer at a reasonable price." -- Anna

By: Diane Benjamin
This statement is on the Facebook page for today's march in downtown Bloomington: https://www.facebook.com/events/1255754504522249/
Join us for a day of solidarity with immigrants and their families! Join us for a day of resistance against human rights abuses, racism, and oppression! Join us to keep families together!
The page goes on:
Most of us never have to think about what our children would do if they arrived home from school and we weren't there—just vanishing from their lives. But that is the reality for some members of our community. Just last year, 53 people were transferred to immigration custody directly from our county jail and many more have been torn apart by deportation.
In 2017, the threat against immigrant families is greater than ever. The new administration's immigration policies are placing families under increasing threat of being devastated by an unjust immigration system and immigrants in our community are living in constant fear. As a community, we must stand up with and for our neighbors and take action to ensure immigrant families are protected in McLean County. March with us for justice, dignity and freedom for all!
Immigrants and allies – On May 1st, don't buy anything, don't go to school, don't go to work!
No where on the page are immigrants called "illegal". Borders are immaterial, laws are immaterial, and the new administration is threatening them. Racism is an old label that means nothing other than you lost the election and your feelings are hurt.
Don't bother to comment saying people can't be "illegal". People who didn't go through the legal immigration procedures are obviously illegal. If you aren't legal then you are illegal. American citizens expect laws to be enforced. Living in a civil society demands justice is applied equally for all citizens. Demanding made-up rights for non-citizens is yet another local mental disorder.
This same group will demand that Bloomington and Normal pass resolutions just short of saying both are sanctuary cities. Losing an election means they need to yell louder. Keep it up – demanding superior rights for illegals will keep you a permanent minority.
I wonder how they feel about the local companies who fired long time employees to bring in H1b visa holders? Is that justice? Dignity? Some lost their ability to collect the pension they worked decades for. People here illegally probably do live in constant fear, there is an easy remedy for that. Think those fired employees in their late 50's don't live in fear with no job and no income retirement stream except social security?
Marching for people who broke the law is telling.
Not marching against real discrimination of American citizens is tragic.
If the Bloomington and Normal Councils decide to pass a "welcome" resolution for law-breakers, it will say a lot about them too. Does the "welcome" apply to those H1b visa holders who displaced Americans?

To the editor: A distinguished doctor friend of mine recently showed me the July 1983 issue. I had contracted Lyme disease and my friend thought I would like to read about it.
The two articles on Lyme disease (1, 2), while obviously brilliantly advancing the treatment of Lyme disease, seem to me symptomatic of a chronic mistake of the modern medical world, which is to cut apart the patient and the illness—to forget about the patient and concentrate on the illness, proving empirically the best treatment to effect a cure.
This is not enough! Both for knowledge of the disease

The new generation of young readers will have the opportunity to become well acquainted with the life and legacy of Harvey Milk in an upcoming 40-page picture book.
Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag, written by Rob Sanders and illustrated by Steven Salerno, will touch on Milk's childhood years in New York, him becoming the first openly gay elected public official in California in 1977, and his assassination in 1978; but most importantly, it will highlight the activist's friendship with designer Gilbert Baker, a friendship that birthed the most powerful contribution to the LGBTQ+ community and its movement - the rainbow flag.
Sanders told HuffPost that he got the idea for the book on June 26, 2015, when the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, "It seemed like the country - even the world - was washed in the colors of the rainbow that night." He also admitted, as an elementary school teacher, that "the history of the Pride flag and its importance to our community was one kids needed to read about and celebrate."
Pride won't hit your nearest bookstore shelves until April 10, 2018, but Harvey Milk's nephew, Stuart, the current President of the Harvey Milk Foundation, has already given it high praises as he believes it "will inspire the next generation of hope givers, our world's youth."
You can either anxiously twiddle your thumbs until April 10th or pre-order your copy by clicking here, but in the meantime, check out some exclusive images from the book below, courtesy of HuffPost:

Why Hire A Board Certified Attorney?
Maybe you have never needed the services of an attorney before; but now you do. Obviously, you want a lawyer who can handle your particular legal situation, and who has expertise in the area of law relating to your legal needs.
To assist you in finding such a lawyer, the Supreme Court of Florida directed The Florida Bar to offer a "Board Certification" program for Florida lawyers. The program is designed to help the public make an informed decision when seeking and selecting a lawyer.
While all lawyers are allowed to advertise, only certified lawyers are allowed to identify themselves as "Florida Bar Board Certified" or as a "specialist." Certification is the highest level of recognition by The Florida Bar of the competency and experience of attorneys in the areas of law approved for certification by the state Supreme Court.
A lawyer who is a member in good standing of The Florida Bar and who meets the standards set by the Supreme Court of Florida, may become a "Board Certified Wills, Trusts and Estates Lawyer."
Certified lawyers in wills, trusts and estate law deal with all aspects of the analysis and planning for the conservation and disposition of estates, giving due consideration to the applicable tax consequences, both federal and state; the preparation of legal instruments to effectuate estate plans; administering estate, including tax related matters; and probate litigation.
Every lawyer certified in wills, trusts and estate law has practiced law on a full-time basis for at least five years. In instances where the lawyer has earned a LL.M. degree in taxation or estate, planning and probate, four years of practice are necessary. Each certified lawyer has had substantial involvement -- 40 percent or more -- in the practice of wills, trust and estate law during the two years immediately preceding certification. To be certified, the lawyer was required to have substantial involvement in estate planning, planning for incapacity, administration of estates and trusts, fiduciary and transfer taxation, probate and trust law, estates and trust litigation and homestead law in the five years preceding certification.
Each certified lawyer has passed peer review, completed 90 hours of continuing legal education within three years immediately preceding application and has passed a written examination demonstrating knowledge, skills and proficiency in the field of wills, trusts and estates law to justify the representation of special competence.
Board certification is valid for five years, during which time the attorney must continue to practice law and attend Florida Bar-approved continuing legal education courses. To be recertified, requirements similar to those for initial certification must be met. Not all qualified lawyers are certified, but those who are board certified have taken the extra step to have their competence and experience recognized.
Wills, Trusts and Estates Certification was approved for Florida Bar members by the Supreme Court of Florida in 1985.
The Florida Bar Board of Legal Specialization and Education operates under the authority of the Supreme Court of Florida. The certification program and any supporting materials or activities are not funded by the general revenues of The Florida Bar.

text: According to PEW, in 1999, gun owners were surveyed and asked why they own guns. About 49% stated hunting as being the reason why they own guns, while about 26% reported for protection. In 2013, when gun owners were asked why they own guns, about 48% said for protection, while 32% stated hunting. On this episode, we discuss the conflicting perceptions towards gun ownership, self-defense, and the overall topic of gun violence in our society.

Who doesn't love best-of lists? Below, you'll find the top-10 albums that rocked our offices and our iPods this year—from Argentina's answer to Bjork to a singing actress that (shock!) doesn't suck—along with a playlist of the songs that we just couldn't get out of our heads. Enjoy. Conor Oberst, Conor Oberst (Merge). Oberst exists for the lyric-philes who look beyond vocal prowess for something to hang their emotions on—and, boy, does he provide it. As Bright Eyes, he's often trumpeted as the next Bob Dylan or Paul Simon, and those tired comparisons only seem to set him up to fail. The thing is, he passes just about every time.—Paul SaitowitzShe & Him, Volume One (Merge). In the early weeks of 2008, the threat of an M. Ward / Zooey Deschanel (the actress?!) musical collaboration loomed dark and menacing on the horizon. There is no way this will be good, I remember thinking. Thankfully, I was wrong. Ward's downplayed, effortless style is neatly complemented by the graceful elegance of Deschanel's voice. —David TowJuana Molina, Un Día (Domino). The fifth album from this former comedienne from Argentina is her most cohesive—and, quite possibly, finest—among a unique catalog. Constantly evolving, Molina's music is blurry and challenging, yet her hypnotic and strange ballads are never inaccessible. —Scott McDonaldRa Ra Riot, The Rhumb Line (V2/Barsuk). A stellar debut of soaring indie rock with a string section too genuine to be schtick. Music with sincerity—equal parts stirring triumph and debilitating sorrow—that can't be affected or denied. —Nathan DinsdaleFleet Foxes, Fleet Foxes (Sup Pop). This debut is relaxing, pretty, nice and full of meadow, mountain and lark references that will make you want to grow a beard and hike far off into the hills (with an iPod looping Fleet Foxes, of course).—Kinsee MorlanMax Tundra, Parallax Error Beheads You (Domino). Playful, innocent and childlike, Parallax Error sounds like every bad top-40 song you've secretly loved, meticulously layered on top of one another. It's so insanely overflowing with ideas, you just have to smile at the ecstatic genius of it. —Todd KroviakNoah and the Whale, Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down (CherryTree). These London boys love Wes Anderson and pay homage to The Squid and the Whale director Noah Baumbach with their name. But their music (think Belle & Sebastian and The Magnetic Fields) is as deep as the grave the album meditates on. Death may be the unifying theme, but each song is cinematic and bittersweet. As they put it: "Death helps life survive."—Kelly DavisMargot & The Nuclear So and So's, Animal! / Not Animal (Epic). This indie-rock band's underappreciated second album and major-label debut was released as two different versions when the band and the record company couldn't agree on which songs should make the cut. Surprisingly, both are amazing.—Seth CombsSteve Poltz, Traveling (Emergent/92E). His most mature, expansive, well-balanced exploration of quirky melody and personal songcraft yet. The pure, enduring joy on tracks like "Rains" and "Brief History of My Life" will win over most discerning listeners, just you watch. —Will ShillingStephen Malkmus & The Jicks, Real Emotional Trash (Matador). Malkmus' latest disc takes the Jicks outfit to an entirely new level as Janet Weiss (ex-Sleater Kinney) takes up residence on the drum stool. As a result, Malkmus gets to safely embrace his classic-rock-guitar-god alter ego that was only hinted at when he fronted Pavement. —Dryw KeltzCityBeat's 2008 PlaylistSide A: "The '59 Sound," The Gaslight Anthem; "Right Hand on My Heart," The Whigs; "Kids," MGMT; "A Milli," Lil Wayne; "The Clap," Bostich + Fussible; "I Don't Always Know What You're Saying," Ladyhawk; "California Girls," The Magnetic Fields; "Jesus is a Good Name to Moan," Mugison; "Honey Bee," Lucinda Williams; "Blue Flower / Blue Flame," Destroyer.Side B: "Slapped Actress," The Hold Steady; "Goner," Dead Confederate; "Nothing Ever Happened," Deerhunter; "Mikey," The Cool Kids; "Stuck to You," Nikka Costa; "This is a Vengeance," Lualta; "The Girl I Don't Know," Teitur; "I'll Fly Away," Castanets; "Skinny Love," Bon Iver; "In Color," Jamey Johnson; "Yes We Can," Will.i.am.
Simply the best

Supple, glove-like calfskin, buttery suedes, and ultra-comfortable exotic leathers are the signature of the brand - requiring little to no break-in time! The reviews say it all - Tecovas are rated as the most comfortable boots on the market.
5. They're risk-free to purchase.
Tecovas takes the risk out of buying boots online - with free shipping, free exchanges, and a free 30-day return policy. If you decide the boots aren't for you, you can ship them back straightaway - a peel-off return label comes right in the box!

Is the Contact Center Going the Way of the PBX?/
That's the question posed for my latest No Jitter writeup, and it stems from several takeaways from last month's Enterprise Connect 2018. You don't have to look far on my blog to see what I've already written about the conference, but for No Jitter, it just seemed that a number of learnings from Enterprise Connect pointed to that big question.
I'm not saying it's happening tomorrow, but the parallels are strong, and perhaps you'll agree after giving it a read. And if you don't, I'd still love to hear from you, as would the folks at No Jitter. Are you there?

If you are a college basketball fan, and if you're reading this blog, you very likely are, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of Chris Dortch's Blue Ribbon Basketball Yearbook. Chris and his team have literally compiled pages and pages of info for every team in Division I. I got my copy last week and have been amazed at the depth of info. If you enjoy games when you know more about your opponents, if you like betting on games and want an advantage or if you just think knowledge makes you superior to those around you, the Blue Ribbon Yearbook is indispensible.
Makes a good Christmas gift too and is a must have come tourney pick'em time.
