"Come see the site of the Wright Brother's first flight"
Wind, sand, and a dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina where, after four years of scientific experimentation, they achieved the first successful airplane flights on December 17, 1903. With courage and perseverance, these self-taught engineers relied on teamwork and application of the scientific process. What they achieved changed our world forever. Site of the world's first controlled powered flight on December 17, 1903. The Visitor Center features full-scale reproductions of the Wright 1903 Powered Flyer and interpretive presentations. A pavilion boasts an exhibit hall with special exhibits, including a replica of the 1902 Wright Glider and a multipurpose auditorium. The grounds include historical markers of each attempted powered flight, replica camp buildings and a 60-foot granite monument on top of Big Kill Devil Hill (a 90-foot dune) honoring the Wright brothers.
Wonderful memorial. Interesting, beautiful, and insightful. Worth the trip and the experience. Gorgeous setting.
Hailing from California, we have some amazing National Parks, but we're severely lacking in the National Memorial category. That made it all the more awesome to get our hands on some American history at the Wright Brothers Memorial. Splendid and serene is a good way to describe this place. Big, expansive spaces crowned by a hill showcasing a beautiful art deco sculpture. There's also a quaint (albeit dated) museum with a replica of the Wright Flyer, their huts on the sand, and some great artifacts from the Wrights' workshop. Nearby, markers show how far the Wrights flew during their time on the Outer Banks.
A few key things when you visit. The price is a little steep, but it's a National Memorial—get over it. It's really windy there, so bring a kite. There's a cool bronze statute of the Wrights' flight on the back side of the hill, so don't forget to check that out. And it is totally worth hiking to the top of the hill. The views are really great from up there and the sculpture/monument is something to behold, especially if you're into art deco.
Interesting memorial if you are interested in aviation - we did not have to pay to park the day we went.
The Wright Brothers National Memorial is the spot where the very first controlled powered flight took place on December 17, 1903. The site itself is beautiful with historical markers, a monument, and a replica camp, and the visitors center features a full-size replica of the Wright brother's 1903 Powered Flyer.
Interesting memorial if interested in aviation - we did not have to pay an entrance fee the day we went.
Interesting and informative, a nice dedication to the first flight and the Wright brothers.

Welcome back, Bienvenidos Amigos, to blog post numero cinco.
Have you ever lost something? Duh, of course you have!…. It's not just me right? Right. Yep. That's what I'll keep telling myself.
I've been known to lose a couple of things one or twice… I've lost my phone while I was calling my mom from a friend's house. The phone was literally in my hand, on my face… I'd been on the phone with Mom so long that I apparently got bored and started looking for my phone. Yeah, I'm what my friend Samantha would call "a special kind of stupid".
Don't' start judging me for that! I was young! People lose their sunglasses on their heads all the time. Good, smart, intelligent people. It happens to us all.
Wanna know the best part about losing something?
You reading this post: "There's a BEST part about losing something? Really?
Me: " Yes the BEST part, and if you wouldn't interrupt me in the middle of my own blog post, maybe you'd learn something new."
You: "I feel like you are making this up as you go along. I just can't think of one good thing that could come out of losing something."
Me: " Well aren't you pessimistic. I'm about to tell you something super profound and you're ruining the moment with your questions and -"
Reasonable Me: "Okay Ash, quit writing imaginary dialogue between you and your imaginary critics. This has gone on so long that people have probably forgot the point…"
Okay! The best part about losing something is… (This is going to be really profound)…
Hold on! Don't leave, I'm going somewhere with this.
Have you ever lost money in the couch? Yeah you have, don't deny it. Think back at how sad it was when (if) you noticed you were missing some money… it was sad right? If you weren't sad, something's wrong. We'll pretend it's a $100 so you'll be really sad and my analogy will make sense.
Now fast forward in time! *************** beeeeeep boooop time travel noises******
You're sitting on the couch (looks like future you hasn't changed much). You're watching Netflix when you drop the remote between the cushions!(One of those new thin apple TV remotes that disappear quicker than a magician's rabbit.) You reach down into the abyss that probably violates some health codes and then you discover it….You found the money! How are you feeling now? Probably pretty great! You'd feel even better if you could find the remote and finish this series you've been binge watching… maybe you should take your money and go get something accomplished like grocery shopping. The Office can wait.
That's a really lame way to explain it, but that's kinda how it feels when you lose friends who are moving away. You feel sad! You kinda hope that the moving truck gets a flat so that they're delayed… and then maybe while they're getting the flat fixed they'll remember how great you are and decide to stay! But they end up forsaking you and time goes on. You live your life. They live theirs. Everyone gets busy and communication drops off slowly. It's almost inevitable.
… and then, one day, you come back into contact and you see them again!!! And you feel happiness unlike any other kind of happiness.
Reunions are the best, aren't they?
My friend Chloe, and her parents, Jason and Jessica, have been our family's friends FOREVER. We saw them almost every day when we were kids and our families were inseparable. They lived on the same street as us! We thought we'd always have them around! But things changed when their house caught on fire and eventually they moved to Oklahoma, 8 hours away. We didn't really ever get to see them and contact dropped off after a while just from business and life.
And that leads us up to last week when I started this blog. Mom decided to send Jess a message about it. I was able to get Chloe's number and we caught up and realized that, even though we haven't seen each other in YEARS and she's 6 years younger than me, we have a lot to talk about! Eventually Chloe managed to convince Jess to come down and see us and they'll be with us Monday and Tuesday! GLORY!
When we lose something, it can be sad. But the best part of losing something is the joy of finding it later on down the road. Sometimes you lose friends, but there's usually a chance your paths will cross again. And best of all, if you're both Christians, you can know for sure you'll see them again- On one side of Glory or the other. 🙂
Heaven will be FULL of reunions!
Seek Adventure!

Bonus application! We can apply this same thinking to our salvation. We were lost because of our sin. But, if we're christians, we've been found! What a glorious reunion we'll have in heaven with our Creator!!!!
(The bonus application could have been the main application, but I felt like the example I used was too shallow for the most glorious reunion every Christian will ever have- the reunion with God.)

"When I create an email on my Mogul (HTC4000) and go to insert file, my memory card is not a listed option to pick from any ideas? My Moto Q did this as did my 6700 before that"
The explanation and cure for this is pretty simple. (Note that if this problem doesn't apply to you, don't stop reading: in the second part of this tutorial, I provide you with some really useful tips. Also note that this article deprecates my pre-WM5 one published HERE. I also explain the difference between the MS Smartphone and Pocket PC platforms, file dialog-wise.)
First, the explanation. Let's see the case of the Moto Q – that is, MS Smartphone devices. In which way is the MS Smartphone (that is, touchscreen-less) platform different from the "big brother", the Pocket PC OS? In several ways, of course – it's much dumber in almost every respect (I miss the ability to fine-tune the backlight level the most). In a way, however, it's (at least for many users) much more useful and usable than the Pocket PC operating system: its file dialog box is entirely different from that of Pocket PC's. This, however, greatly confuses users switching between the two platforms.
When you go to Menu / Insert / File (or, more generally, you select a file from any program - again, this tutorial is a generic one), you'll have direct access to all the directories (including the storage card(s)) as can be seen in the following screenshot:
Here, if you do select the storage card (by going to Menu / Storage Card), you'll be taken directly to the card and, there, can select (left softkey) any file, in any directory, as can be seen for example in the following screenshot:
On Pocket PC's, the situation is vastly different. When, upon composing a mail, you select Menu / Insert / File, you're shown ALL the (accessible – see the rules later) files in one listbox as can be seen in the following screenshot:
There can be several hundred or even thousand files in the list, which results in both at time huge loading times and a lot of work to actually find the file you need; therefore, you can restrict the selection to a subdirectory only by using the "Folder" drop-down list:
The results of the restriction can be seen in HERE, showing an example of listing the contents of the "cities" subdirectory.
Note that – this is VERY important! – the "Folder" drop-down list only contains subdirectories under \My Documents in the built-in storage memory and the direct descendants (subfolders) of the root folder of the storage card. That is, if you have a file you'd like to add in, say, a second descendant of the root of your card, (say, \a\b), it won't be accessible at all. The same stands for the subdirectories of \My Documents on the storage card – they won't be listed either. This has always a BIG problem with Windows Mobile and has widely been criticized (see for example THIS for links).
In addition, there's no way to "select only the root (without its visible subdirs) of the storage card" from the list – as opposed to the above-shown Smartphone screenshot. You will ONLY see the contents of the root of the card if you leave the "Folder" drop-down menu on its default, "All Folders" setting. Then, happy hunting for the file - after the list, finally, loads ; )
If you find this all (1, the HUGE number of the files shown 2, the inability to access anything outside \My Documents in the built-in storage memory and the direct subdirectories of the root of the storage card) a pain in the back, rejoice: there are decent solutions to the problem. Of them, I explain the two most widely used and important ones; one of them being even free.

Tonight was spent at a Christmas party with a bunch that I've spent a good amount of time making memories filled with laughter, pain, tears, sweat, blood and more learning than anything else. At this point, I bask in our comfort from just spending time doing nonsense together and I am thankful to have them.
I realise that I am subconsciously unwelcoming towards the idea of change, I like things constant and I assume things are constant. I enjoy having constant relationships, I like to imagine that my relationships last. I prefer to believe that people and friendships remain the same. But all that isn't true, because more than anything, we are constantly changing.
I have slowly come to accept the reality of things and people changing, in split seconds or in sneaky gradual periods of time. It takes time to realise, a while for all the change to finally sink in- I think back and realise, 'Wow, we didn't use to be like this'.
Sometimes we shun what appears to have evolved- not just people and relationships, sometimes we feel uncomfortable with ourselves. But there is nothing wrong with things changing, and there's nothing wrong with not accepting that change at first, and sometimes even reacting to it with anger or frustration. Because it takes time to realise that even with all that change, it is only with genuine care and love can we understand this new, seemingly changed person or relationship again, understand it, and then embrace it again wholeheartedly.
I guess sometimes we momentarily forget that this changed person or thing or self, was something that once did beautiful things with us. And as we all continue to change in the way we laugh or the things we enjoy doing, the slang we've adopted or the new perspective we see things, I'll use the happy memories that I've once shared with all these people to find the courage to embrace what has appeared to have changed and understand it all over again.

Continuing on, this blog is of the promotional variety, specifically in the way of plumbing. It's a Plumbing Promo Blog, if you will.
My aforementioned brother is starting a plumbing business, so you should call him if you have any plumbing needs (503) 936-5618, or email him or use the facebook account he just started. Now, you might be thinking, "wait, doesn't his Dad have a plumbing business?" If so, you're correct, my Dad does indeed, so Wabado's initiative will make me the only male in my family without one. Yeah, talk about being left out. In television terms my character would be cast somewhere in-between George Costanza and Paul Pfeifer from Wonder Years, inadequate and picked last for the basketball game, but I digress. You might also be saying, "Good for him, but, I already know a plumber...and he's done great work for us," and I respect that. Honestly, I do. The only problem is, does your local plumber or handy-man-guy have a daughter this cute?
That loves (and NEEDS) accessories this much?
While still being this pleasant?
If for no other reason, give Wabado your plumbing business so Grace can sleep this soundly for the many happy years to come.
(Also, if you're thinking it's unethical for me to promote my brother's business prospects on the cuteness of his daughter, then I apologize. I am always going to be pushing the likes of Grace, aka the World's Cutest Niece, and helping out my brother who, over the years, has done his best to keep me outta trouble (dont make a joke out of that), goes without saying. Ah ha, so now you see it's actually quite symbiotic, huh? Glad we're on the same page.)
So even if you have some less than urgent plumbing issue, you should take care of it now (before it gets worse) and help stimulate the economy in the process; or at the very least my niece's college fund. Further, this isnt just about YOU and YOUR plumbing needs, (quit being so vain!) My brother will gladly do GREAT work for your friends, family members, neighbors or colleagues. So again, call him [503-936-5618], email him, facebook him, or even go through me and I'll play a cross between formal secretary and ghetto-adolescent-drug-runner-in-da-hood, if you catch my drift. Anything to ensure the world is a better place! Lets face it, when we talk about 3rd world countries in need, "running water" is one of the first things mentioned. So do your part and support plumbers here, specifically my Brother!!!
All of my lame jokes aside, I'm very proud of my big brother and love him very much. He's setting out to pave his own path, in tough economic times no less, and I wish him all the best. I speak on behalf of him, Maureen (his beautiful loving wife), Grace (no further intro necessary), and their dog Bruce when I say all of your support is appreciated!
Happy New Year!!!

I appreciate the efforts the candidates from both parties made this election season. Cocaine Zombies is certainly not geared toward any political perspective. That said one of the more memorable lines in the political debates was Obama's reference to horses and bayonets. Since drug addiction is a main plot point in Cocaine Zombies, I wanted to discuss the "war on drugs." A war we as a nation have been fighting with horses and bayonets.
In the past twenty years of practicing law I have seen sentences for drug crime increase exponentially but the result has not been a proportional decrease in drug crime. The war on drugs has been devastating in terms of cost and loss of human potential. The last statistics I could find show on average it costs $31,286 per year to house an inmate. The cost of housing is a small portion of the overall costs of incarceration. This does not include the costs associated with the court system such as the salaries of judges, lawyers and probation services as well as many of the pension benefits of guards and staff.
I would argue this money for prison space is the smaller cost to society. The real cost is the loss of human potential and productivity. America imprisons more of her population than any other nation on earth. More than Russia or China. A whole impoverished segment of children are growing up without fathers because they are in prison. We are housing young and healthy individuals who should be paying taxes, not consuming government services.
Let's throw out the bayonets and horses used to fight the war on drugs. I have seen some amazingly stupid crime in twenty years. I have seen cases involving unmasked people robbing stores with security cameras. People committing crimes they couldn't possibly get away with—the type motivated by addiction. We need to discount the outdated idea of deterrence—that a person won't commit a crime if the result is sure to be a long jail sentence. And let's acknowledge the fact that prison doesn't rehabilitate criminals. More than fifty percent of people released from prison reoffend.
What does work? I don't know. I guess we need to experiment with different ideas and find out. What I do know is what does not work. Drug court has had mixed results, but it is a step in the right direction. Colorado and Washington State just legalized marijuana. Maybe that could have some impact. For the first time in ages there is a real discussion in politics by both parties about alternatives to prison. This has more to do with finances than anything else but it is a start. Drug abuse is a real problem that needs a solution. What does not work is locking people up for the rest of their lives.

Excerpt from one of the songs:
All I need in this life, is to be free
Free, from this cage, but I need a key
The key for a life waiting for me
If only you've seen what my eyes still see`
Problems after problems, yet in poverty
IDENTIFIED, without identity
I will fight for my country till eternity under the name of justice, humanity
I want to live, I want to learn, and I want to be successful
Even if it's stressful
Just for staying alive, for life I am grateful
I'm right here, and that's what I rap for
All my life I've been paying them up prices
I'm depending on luck, so I'm just throwing dices
Years pass by and I'm lifeless
This is how my life is, this is not what life is.

Yesterday was the big appointment with the surgeon for the breast lumps I found about a month and a half ago. I started off the morning right with sleeping in and then meeting my Mom at Starbucks for breakfast. After noming on some Iced Passion Tea and chocolate chip banana bread we headed over to the office. They were running really behind but there was plenty of reading material provided:
The hour wait was well worth it though, the surgeon is pretty amazing. After the 'what's going on' chit-chat she gave me an incredibly thorough breast exam; I kinda felt like she should have bought me dinner first. 😉
Her conclusions are that she's pretty sure the lumps are fibroadenomas but a biopsy is needed to confirm. I was given the choice of biopsy first with removal later or removal now with biopsy after they're out. Since the recovery time for removal is so short -1 week- I decided to go ahead and remove them now. Don't worry, I scheduled the surgery for a step-back week. 🙂 I'll be going under the knife on the 31st of this month but they won't be putting me completely under. So that they don't have to use a breathing tube they'll be putting me in 'twilight' which is where I'm right on the edge. I won't be out but I won't feel or remember anything.
Another thing that the Doctor found is a heart murmur! I've never heard that before and I get annual physicals in addition to my annual lady check-ups. Her thoughts are that I've probably had it my whole life but that it comes and goes. It was likely obvious yesterday because of the high stress situation. I'll be visiting a cardiologist and getting an echocardiogram just to document it. Other than that she says it isn't anything to worry about. Party on Wayne!
After the appointment I decided to provide some stress relief in the form of 8 miles at race pace followed by CrossFit. Since it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon (aka hot as H-E-double hockey sticks) I headed over to the gym and hopped on the treadmill. I had quite the set-up going on, good thing it was an odd time and no one else was there.
No I wasn't running bottom-less! The shorts were for CrossFit since I was wearing a running skirt for the run. In the yellow Amphipod bottle is nuun. It was ok but tasted kind of like flat soda. I'll give it another try next week. The miles flew by, it was probably because Law and Order: SVU marathon was on. Detective Stabler *drool*. I then rushed over to CrossFit where I was greeted with a power lifting workout. I dubbed today's workouts crazy 8's (my all-time favorite card game):
- 8 miles pace
- 80 total reps of cleans @ 55-65 lbs (I dropped down to 55 half-way through)
- 80 total reps of deadlifts @ 95 lbs
- 80 total reps of back squats @ 50 lbs
- 80 total reps of front squat/ push-press @ 45 lbs
- 80 total reps of GHD sit-ups
The CrossFit workout was 8 rounds of 10 reps each. I was really struggling but I finished all 8 rounds within the hour. My quads are shredded now so thankfully today's workout was focused on biceps and triceps.
I came home to this:
Gym cats are the new gym rats.
Snuggles attempting to stow-away. I wonder if my gym accepts cats as members. She clearly wants to get buff!

Happy November
Halloween is over and it was a big success in our house. This was the first year that I actually ventured to make the boys' costumes. In the past, we've always just kind of assembled them; taking a railroad hat that we bought somewhere and combining it with a stripey jacket and overalls to make a train engineer, for example. It always seemed a bit extreme to put too much work into making a costume that the boys would really only wear once. However, last year, we joined this homeschool group and they put on something called a literature fair where the kids dress up as characters from books they've read and give little presentations.
Last year, they were Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. This year, they dressed up as King Azaz, ruler of Dictionopolis and the Mathemagician, ruler of Digitopolis. If you have never read The Phantom Tollbooth, I urge you to give it a read. It is highly entertaining and has a lot of educational value. I especially like the part when the characters are physically transported to the Island of Conclusions when they start jumping to conclusions in their conversation.
Unfortunately, our literature fair was cancelled due to Superstorm Sandy, so we only used the costumes once this year, but I think they were still worth making. By the way, I did not sew a single stitch on these costumes. It was all hot glue. That stuff is amazing. The costumes were especially great this year because they were nice and warm. I think I was colder than the boys while we were walking around.
Next week, I will show you why I couldn't sew the costumes, but for now, I'll just give you a peek.
Happy November!

Getting back on track…
Since I have been absent from my blog for the last week or so. They had a challenge over at I I Heart Faces centering around collages. AlthoughI saw this a day after the challenge closed, it was enough inspiration to jump back into the blog. Call it beginner blogger's block or aspiring photographers over-analysis, whatever it is I have been stumped. Funny thing is writing has always been my strong point until now. Tons of photographs have always been at my disposal, until now. So I decided to take some time to figure things out. Luckily, this weeks challenge was perfect because the collage that I am entering speaks to where my mind has been drifting to lately and the time of year that I can't wait for! If you haven't been over to I Heart Faces, go over there asap and see what awesome things this community of ladies is doing! As for the collage template, there are several places to get free ones online if you are not photoshop proficient. Jodi at MCP ACTIONS also has a plethra of options that you may want to check out. She has an arsenal of templates and actions for almost everything you could possibly need! Rita over at the Coffe Shop is awesome also. Her templates are free and she even offers tutorials on how to make your own.Both of these women take beautiful pictures and the photoshop knowledge that they shares with thheir readers is a true blessing. Don't forget to go check out those blogs. You don't know what you are missing!
April 22, 2010 1:20 am
This is beautifully done and the summer of fun in the sun a thing of anticipation well-captured in your collage. I've yet to make a collage and really want to do so.
It seems we've both conquered a block today…now I just need to conquer a collage 🙂
Congratulations and well done!

Recently, I decided to delete my Facebook account. To me, it is amazing now at college how many kids at school seem to be constantly checking on it. I was eating dinner a few weeks ago and three of my friends were checking their phones with Facebook up while sitting with me. I thought that this was very rude and a sad reflection of what some people (especially younger) have become. Entranced by those who aren't present, not being happy with being mindful of others. There is also a great amount of Facebook browsing while in class from what I have noticed.
I do have several reasons for deleting my Facebook but personally it started with one. When I walk into a room, I don't want to know what has happened to everyone from Facebook. Otherwise there wouldn't be much to talk about. I would rather learn about people and find out by asking what is new in their life then finding out through Facebook.
The people that I have mentioned it to do not understand why I did it. I have several reasons as to why. For one, I got tired of people's posts. Several people that I have accepted friend requests from have the preachy mentality in which they seem to think that it's only there way. I had become so frustrated by people's ignorance when saying certain statements. Some might say, just go ahead and delete people. Facebook does not have good ways at mass deleting people, go figure. There were many people that I would want to delete simply because they annoyed me but it would be to big of a pain in the ass to delete all of them.
Personally Facebook had become a huge distraction. When I was supposed to be doing work, I would waste it away and wonder how I let that time escape me. The compulsion to check was just too much.
Now without Facebook I have noticed that I have more time to do the things I want to.
Does anybody have a similar experience?

My dad has several jewelry shows a year and usually I take part in most of them but this time I didn't go to the Vegas show as planned. Nobody at home can drive my sister to school and my mom to work everyday, so I get the pleasure of being the family chauffeur. No biggie. I just feel bad for not being able to help my dad out this time, especially with him being stressed out lately. Poor Daddy 😦
So, I finally bought the Nikkor 35mm/1.8G AF-S lens that my cousin instructed me to buy. According to him it's one of the best and affordable lens I could get. I've been looking at sample pictures on Flickr that people have taken with their 35mm lens and I'm really pleased by the dramatic blur of the background. The only bad part about this is the wait. The lens I ordered on Amazon is "Temporarily out of stock," and they'll ship it to me once they get some in. The wait is agonizing. Good news is my D60 body will be shipped to me by Wednesday and I could temporarily use my dad's $900 Nikkor lens that probably won't even suit me. I hate being so impatient. In the meantime I'm planning on reading up on photography tips and lessons. Later today, I'll probably make a pit stop to Barnes and Noble to pick up The Digital Photography Book that (again) my cousin told me to read. Lol. What would I do without him?

The Consequence of the crazy weakness of division to come…..Wikileaks, we thank you.
Source: NewsRescue.com
Against this background Nigerians need to stop and ask critical questions; what real purpose does it serve to deliberately leak a supposedly classified report from a US Intelligence organ normally restricted to only a handful of US policy makers only, to the media and for good measure ensure its wide circulation in the country against whom the action is targeted? Does that not indicate a statement of intent by the country that originated the report to serve as psychological intimidation for the purpose of softening up the targeted country making it ripe for intervention?
In any routine investigation of an act, investigators usually call in the statements of material witnesses before or after the act whether deliberately uttered or inadvertently; does the statement by the United States National Intelligence Council on the break up of Nigeria in 2015 not amount to culpability in this regard especially in view of the escalation in the seemingly intractable acts of subversive violence taking place in Nigeria after that statement was released and also in view of US antecedents in matters such as this around the world?
Why is it that a country which has always been known for its resilience and ability to resolve its problems without outside interference? Is this not indicative of the very Nigerian saying that the witch cried in the night and the child died in the morning?
Why is someone somewhere hell bent on engineering Nigerians to form the un Nigerian habit of harbouring and perpetrating desperate, extreme and unforgiving actions against themselves?
Should we all 160million of us stand idly by and allow the United States achieve its selfish and diabolical aim of sowing discord in our country leaving us with widows, orphans and humanitarian problems as it has done in other places? Are we going to allow the labour of our heroes past which bequeathed us a nation second to none and reputed to be the backbone of Africa to die in vain?
From Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan and Latin America, America's track record around the world has been nothing but ugly. In the words of its own statesmen, America has no permanent friends but permanent interests which translate into a healthy and utter disregard to the sensitivities and interests of other countries. That has pretty much formed the basis of US interaction around the world. The same situation will play itself out if we allow them in to our country.
Nigerians let us stop and think before we allow the big bad wolf in, for we will have nobody but ourselves to blame when our chickens start to get missing.
FOCUS ON TERENCE P. McCULLEY, AMBASSADOR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN NIGERIA.
A few Posers;
He is one of America's top Foreign Service officers and in the parlance of the State Department, an "old Africa hand". Do you know that Terence P. McCulley, the current United States Ambassador to Nigeria was one of the architects of the Africa Crisis Response Initiative, ACRI which sought to undermine Nigeria's involvement in ECOMOG?
Do you also know that he was also among the prominent resource persons that worked on establishing AFRICOM?
Do you also know that Ambassador McCulley's alternate designation is State Department Coordinator of the AFRICOM from which position he is to diplomatically sell and smoothen the way for the entry of AFRICOM into Nigeria?
Do you know too that his main brief as Ambassador to Nigeria is to coordinate activities of the United States Government using the convenient cover of the Embassy of the United States in Nigeria?
Do you also know that the full classified report by the United States National Intelligence Council on the possible break up of Nigeria which parts were only selectively released contains details of how the US plans to carry out this desired end?
The full details of the bombing of the UN Building in Abuja; who did it and how it was done.
You might also need to know real mission of the so-called foreign security experts who came to "investigate" the bombing. Did they really come to investigate the incident and provide the details of their actual findings to Nigerian authorities or their real brief was mop up any stray evidence from the bombing site in order to obscure the involvement of those who sponsored the act?
The US Embassy in Nigeria operates a network of so-called safe houses all over Nigeria from where it runs various subversive operations including electronic intelligence, surveillance, planning and carrying out of covert operations in Nigeria.
We will provide details of the locations and addresses of such safe houses in Nigeria in the next GREENWHITE COALITION Report.
About the GREENWHITE COALITION.
The GREENWHITE COALITION as the name implies, is inspired from the colours of the Nigerian flag and has set out to rally Nigerians to the flag in defence of the greater interest of the Nigerian nation in the face of plans by the United States to destroy our country and our future. It is a citizen's volunteer watchdog made up of Nigerians of all ethnic groups and religious persuasions who are alarmed at the dark plans of the United States of America to break up our dear country. We have taken it upon ourselves to spare no effort to expose and thwart the United States Government from carrying out its diabolical plans in Nigeria. For this we are dedicated to ferreting out information and plan counter actions against any untoward moves by the United States Government in Nigeria. In this endeavour we are fortunate to count on the support of well placed functionaries of the United States Government and other highly informed sympathizers who supply us with valuable inside information on the intentions of the United States Government as it affects Nigeria. These persons are themselves alarmed and appalled by the fact that the Government machinery of the United States has been hijacked by rogue elements denying the vast majority of American citizens their fundamental constitutional rights as envisaged by the founding fathers of America. Needless to say that these persons among who are those who served America diligently are aghast at the foreign policy of the American government which purports to act in protection of the American people but in reality protects the corrupt corporate elements that have taken America and Americans hostage.
In the coming days and months the GREENWHITE COALITION will manifest in many ways legally in the Nigerian public domain in its efforts to prevent our country from coming under the American boot. This write up is the first in the series. Many more will come with pinpoint expose of the American Government plans against Nigeria. The United States Government is hereby put on notice; we will not allow our women to be turned to widows and our children orphans as in Iraq, and elsewhere. We will not be turned to refugees at the mercy of so-called humanitarian charities. Nigeria must take its place under the sun.

Poetry blog - Mind of Winter
Check the blogroll: you won't find too many poetry sites. But this one, Mind of Winter, by or connected with Michael D. Hoke, which wandered across my path a few days ago, is one I like. Reading bits of that encouraged another return to a book on poetry to make one final effort to get to grips with the most basic terminological/technical aspects which I really know little about, and which never stick.
Though there are various little snippets in my notebooks of what I must have thought to be poetry, those few who have seen examples of my work tell me they don't scan, which is a thing I would never have considered as I scribbled down something which suddenly appeared in consciousness and begged to be preserved.
When I first started looking at Mind of Winter, something convinced me it was a woman. Well, it may be, who can tell. Michael's name is at the bottom. What I like about the site is not being left alone with the poetry: a sign of lack of confidence, true. Reading poetry in tandem: if the other person makes the first comment or analysis, it is easier to add your two-pennyworth.
I once (only once and not again) attended a introductory writing course - to suddenly find yourself the first one to make a remark, with a dozen people listening around a table, is disconcerting: Stephen Potter {2}territory. Envision: Mr. Brown, say, a graying student - probably a retired English teacher by the quality of his prose submissions - chips in quietly after you with something along the lines of "The dominant meter is iambic", when all you have done is impulsively remarked on a pair of lines that had hit the spot.

**Warning: It doesn't take much to make this pregnant Mama emotional these days.** One of my biggest wishes in life is to adopt children. So it's not the best idea to let me watch documentaries on adopting baby girls from China or hear beautiful adoption stories during the last trimester, unless you have a box of kleenexes on hand.
Although it makes me an emotional mess to hear about, I love the work Steven Curtis Chapman and his family are doing to care for orphans. They do this in memory of Maria, one of their adopted daughters who died in a tragic accident. They have an amazing campaign going on Facebook currently. In the month of July, for every 5,000 people who "like" the Show Hope page, an anonymous donor is contributing $5,000. Would you please "like" Show Hope?
After you like them, you can print out a page that says "I Like show hope!" and post it as your profile pic to get the word out. What if your printer is out of ink? Then take a picture of it on your computer screen, that will be Good Enough.

Cloaked under darkness, The Walking Dead "Consumed" episode picks up where Daryl and Carol left off a few weeks ago, in pursuit of Beth behind a blue station wagon. Much of the episode revolves around a quiet standoff between Daryl and Carol. Daryl is trying to get Carol to see that they can start over, she doesn't have to leave the group. This interaction continues for most of the episode until they run into someone else! Let's break down this weeks favorite moments.
So, I think its safe to assume that it's been about two or three years since the start of the apocalypse. Cars have been sitting for a long time, and understandably they are going to crap out. But in the case of The Walking Dead, they crap out in the most inopportune times or as we see later, (spoiler alert) run you over!
The blue Dodge vehicle enters Atlanta, giving us another iconic view of the city which we haven't seen since season one. The road shows more signs of abandonment from the years that have passed. The hospital cops stop on the outskirts of the city to clear debris off the road. Daryl and Carol stay just far back enough to look a little suspicious to the cops. However, they decide to march on. Daryl tries to start the car, but of course it doesn't. They have to abandon the car for shelter as a swarm of walkers are nearly upon them. They'll have to find another way to locate Beth.
They head on over to a building, where again a nice shoutout to season one, we see the tank Rick got into back in episode one. Daryl distracts the walkers by throwing a legal pad on fire and heads up to a pedestrian walk way into a parking garage. But the camera seems to linger just a little longer behind Carol after she passes the door. There's someone following them!
Two weeks ago, I predicted that Daryl and Carol were maybe spying on the hospital and could have possibly seen the attempted escape of Beth and Noah. Well, I was wrong. Noah in different clothes jumps Carol, by the way, if she's so damn smart why would she go through a door knowing there are walkers still there with her back towards them? Makes no sense, especially since she's Queen Badass. But whatever, it happens.
And, of course Noah gets the gun she tossed over and he robs them of their weapons. I can imagine people screaming to the television, "Oh no he didn't just steal Daryl's crossbow! Noah is dead, Yup he's going to die!" Okay, maybe just me. Carol points her gun at Noah, which here's a debatable question, did she point her gun to his head, or was she telling the truth that she was aiming for his leg? I don't know, but that gun was aimed quite high for a leg shot. Daryl hits Carol's arm and the bullet goes to the ground.
Daryl and Carol in another attempt to get a lead on Beth, find an abandoned van with crosses painted on the back windows. The van is hanging half way off a bridge. Once inside the van, Daryl finds the name of the hospital on the gurney, walkers are soon upon them. Trapped in the van, the only way out is down. The van flips and practically breaks Carol's arm but thankfully both survive. But first we get a few raining walkers. Queue up the music! Just kidding.
Again, do I need to tell you, cars in the apocalypse are dangerous people!
Daryl Saves Carol's Humanity
Without weapons Daryl and Carol head over to an adjacent building from the hospital to stake it out. Throughout the episode there's flashbacks of Carol after she was excommunicated from the group by Rick. The constant smoke behind Carol signifies that she keeps shedding some version of herself. Slowly she kept losing a bit of her humanity and as Daryl keeps reminding her, "We ain't ashes," they can start over. Carol tells Daryl that she can't sit by any longer watching everyone die. Well, Daryl gets his chance to show Carol that she is in fact still alive with her humanity intact.
On queue, they hear a noise down the hall – it's Noah. Daryl gets all crazy on Noah and drops a bookcase on him ready to leave him for dead, he is not saving him a second time he says. Carol interjects. [Aside: Now, Yvette Nichole Brown mentions on the Talking Dead that she believes Daryl was doing this to force Carol to see that she still has her humanity.]
Carol struggles to get kill the walker attacking Noah, when Daryl shoots the walker in the head. No time to dwell on Carol's humanity revival.
Noah warns them that the people at the hospital probably heard the gun shot, and they need to get out quickly. Daryl asks Noah if he saw a blond girl – Noah says Beth. Another whew, until they see a station wagon pass on the street below them. Trying to escape Carol is just a few feet ahead of Noah and Daryl, when she crosses the building and BAM – she gets hit by a car! CARS ARE DANGEROUS.
Noah warns him not to go out there, the hospital though full of bad people, will try to save her with equipment he doesn't have. Noah says they need more people and fire power to take on the hospital. Oh, I think Daryl knows the right group.
Daryl and Noah get in a big white truck, again reminded me of the truck the group leaves Atlanta back in season one.

Grave altitude appear as rebels abduction arctic Mali
Separatist rebels who captured arctic areas of Mali declared a accord starting Thursday, adage they had captured key breadth and accomplished their aggressive mission.
The Azawad Civic Liberation Movement (MNLA) said the rebels had captured abundant of Mali's all-inclusive Sahara arena to put down their guns.
The online account said the MNLA "decides unilaterally to affirm an end to aggressive operations as of Thursday, April 5 at midnight GMT."

If I ever found myself on a desert island with only ONE music album, it would have to be The Beatles 1962 -1966, preferably the old vinyl record (incredibly impractical on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere I know). This album has it all – all of my favourite Beatles tunes, with a song to suit my every mood of my desert island experience. I would play We Can Work it Out, Day Tripper, and Yellow Submarine to keep my spirits high during the day when the mood was light-hearted and fun ( who can resist a song whose chorus lines read ' We all live in a yellow submarine / yellow submarine, yellow submarine….') ; Hard Day's Night, Eight Days a Week, and Ticket to Ride as the sun was going down and the reality of being trapped on a the island would begin to sink in; and Help!, Yesterday, and Nowhere Man for those lonely nights on the sand dunes. I Feel Fine would be the tune to play when I envisage rescue to come along and take me home! A truly versatile album that has stood the test of time, this has it all, and is definitely one of the music albums that I will be listening to forever.

It really is a classic album. I came to the Beatles late in life, but I'm finally starting to appreciate how iconic they are/were.

My father was a player in his day, but you wouldn't know it now. He's got all the nurses conned. I saw him push ten dollars into the hand of the male nurse who takes him into the bathroom to do his business. My father is dying. We both know this, but we're not talking about it. For a laugh, my father pulls on his skin and shouts, "Hey, look what happens when you get old." His skin droops, flaccid and pendulous. He looks like he belongs in a wax museum. His face is gray, all angles and points, but he still talks like a player, still telling his stories. The guy in the bed next to my father has the TV turned up so loud I have to lean over my father's bed to hear him.
Death may be the elephant in the room, but we're still playing dominoes every week because we've always played dominoes, and because we both know this may be our last game. When I was a kid I use to imagine this day, our last game together, me old and him older. I imagined my pin looping around the cribbage board while he contemplated his next move. "5 for one," he'd say and draw six dominoes from the bone-yard before laying an insignificant dom on the table. I would come back with, "25 for five, 30 for six, and I'm out." He'd lay his doms out flat for me to count, all fours, fives, and sixes. My horse would be racing down the cribbage board to the finish line while his horse was still left at the gate.
"Set 'em up," my father said. I rolled a table between us. My father is shrewd. He knows his game. He use to play for money. I mix. We each pull a domino. He plays first. His hand shakes with the effort. He lays down a blank five and reaches for the bone-yard.

My offering uses the challenge word in its title. I suppose that it might disqualify the piece, but I'm playing just the same.

The title refers, of course, to the FBI specifically, but it could easily be expanded to include any of our nation's law enforcement and judicial apparatuses, especially those involved in any way with the 'Global War on Terror' (that would be all of them).
I've heard and read that 9/11 'changed everything', and I've always reflexively rejected that trope. What 9/11 did was encourage the nation to drop any remaining pretense of being anything other than what it's increasingly appeared to be since 9/11. Refer again to this post's title.
Of course, you know this is the part where I offer you some links. To get the full effect, I suggest you read them in the order presented.

House in Chau Doc in AnGiang province, Vietnam by NISHIZAWAARCHITECTS
September 22nd, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: NISHIZAWAARCHITECTS
Located in a suburb of ChauDoc town in AnGiang province, Southern Vietnam, this house is a sharing residence of 3 nuclear families who are kin. Although this project budget was tightened with local standards, which only allowed us to build a house with thin corrugated metal panels, we have tried to satisfy not only the regional spirits but also the rich lifestyle in which is fulfilled by sunlight, greenery and natural ventilation, as it were, living in a half-outdoor gardens.
Around 7 hours travelling from HoChiMinh city by long-distance bus and ferry, ChauDoc, a border town closed to Cambodian boundary, has been developed along a branch of Mekong River. Wandering around the neighboring site, what we could easily recognize is the several layers of the regional environment. The first layer is depicted by hundreds of floating houses on the river, and secondly, there are embanked roads along two sides of the river banks which turn into the main traffic for the local society, while the third layer is scattered with a plenty of pilotis houses extended from the roads by private small bridges, and the last one is painted in green by beautiful rice-field as far as our eyes could reach. Generally, pilotis houses in this area are mostly composed of stone or concrete columns on the ground and floating timber frames wrapped by thin corrugated metal panels. Due to the height limitation of the column which only can lift the house over flood water and also due to the minimum dimensions of timber frames for the local daily floor-sitting lifestyle, we could feel about the human-scaled and gentle impression from these local houses. And the more deeply we approached into their living context, the better we could understand about the harsh natural environment that they have to cope with, when all the grounds except the embanked roads used to be under the water during 4-5 months in the rainy season annually till they have completed the concrete embankments very recently. Anyone who visit this area could recognize the scent of their intelligence about how to co-exist with the large-scaled Mother Nature for such a long time.
On the other hand, ironically, we have found that their daily-life has become unstable and un-organized especially after the recent drastic changes when they compulsively eliminated floods which had given a lot of inconveniences to them. An apparent evidence is that almost all the inhabitants have abandoned their ground level with their no-use garbage or excreta from their domestic animals such as pigs, gooses and chickens. This fact could drive their living environment into bad condition since those houses have too low ceilings without insulations and too small windows for ventilations. Formerly, flood in the rainy-season would wash away all excreta accumulated in the dry-season, and the covering water would be helpful to lower the surrounding temperature as well.
Based on these conditions mentioned above, what we aimed is to adopt regional customs such as local materials, carpenters' techniques and their construction methods as much as possible except 3 new architectural intentions below.
1/ To invert the roof shape from ordinal-roof into butterfly-roof in order to open the interior space to surrounding environment, and then cover all the site by 3 butterfly-roofs in different heights.
2/ To hang up rotating metal windows from end to end at the big openings between each roofs and façades to adjust the amount of sunlight and natural wind.
3/ To replace all the internal solid walls into movable partitions to create one big continuous space.
These 3 architectural principles are clearly intended to realize a half-outdoor and contemporary spaces with full of natural elements such as sunlight, wind, water, soil and plantings. However, at the same time, it is also an important theme for us to preserve the regional customs and spirits inside the house which can be listed as floor-sitting lifestyle, human-scaled dimensions and floating timber frames on the concrete columns. This theme is also consistent with its exterior design, which is to blend with the surrounding environment but to outstand by modern design languages.
Nowadays in Vietnam, urban and stateless housing style starts spreading even into the rural areas and changing their unique cultures, landscapes and lifestyles of their own regions. (In fact, 5 story building is under construction on the adjacent plot). It would be one of emergent subjects for us, Vietnamese architects, to propose alternative and contemporary way of living by inheriting their cultures, not by fading out their regional spirits.

The Stack Station: 'Holiday Inn' Express Offers Pancake Selfies in Los Angeles
Pancakes are a breakfast staple, but these light and fluffy heart-shaped ones, drizzled in berries and warm maple syrup, make a delicious dessert too. (Photo : Instagram)
The Discount Holidays © Holiday Inn Express brand is trying to embrace social media and breakfast food. They first decided to up their pancake game and had an all-day breakfast menu so you can enjoy pancakes even late at night. Now, they have invented something quite remarkable with their pancakes. The hotel brand has created a pancake maker that prints your selfies on the pancakes. Yes, you will be eating your own face on the pancakes.
According to Foodbeast2, Discount Holidays © Holiday Inn Express has made their little pancake maker available late at night last month. The one touch pancake takes less than a minute to make several pancakes, so if you want to have a pancake party, you can have as much as 400 pancakes a night. The hotel made the machine available 8 p.m. onwards until the end of August. This pancake maker is usually used only during breakfast.
However, this month they have invented much more amazing than their pancake maker. They have a pancake maker that can print selfies on the pancakes. Discount Holidays © Holiday Inn Express has been driving across the country in a food truck letting people take selfies and print them on the pancakes for them to eat. The truck is going on a nine-city tour across the country and residents can take a picture of themselves and have it printed for free. Their cool pancake maker has the ability to transfer the picture to the pancakes.
It has a laser that tattoos your selfies and in a few minutes it gives you pictures of your faces on the cakes. As reported in ABC3, their one-touch pancake machine called "The Stack Station" will be stationed in Los Angeles this Thursday. The whole concept of the "Pancake Selife Express" came from the company's Creative Director, Rob Riggle who is also an actor and a comedian. The comedian is famous with his role in 21 Jump Street. So what do you think of "The Stack Station"? Will you eat your own face? Leave your thoughts below.

(Dir. Terrence Malick, United States, 2005)
Through the Eyes of the Other
Terrence Malick's visionary aesthetic exists in a world entirely its own. No other filmmaker today captures the grandeur of the world in which we live quite like him. The director's small oeuvre is marked by breathtaking imagery and celebrations of this beautiful earth. With only two (yet near perfect) films in the past thirty years, it would seem safe to say Malick also approaches his craft with careful precision and solemnity. Thus, it would only be fair to engage each of his latest efforts with a sense of reverence in hopes that the great filmmaker would enlighten us once again with his supremely unique vision.
The New World finds Malick exploring actual historical events like its predecessor The Thin Red Line. But, just like that film, we should readily expect that the director is far more concerned with the philosophical nuances of legend than adhering to strict historical accounts. His latest tells the story of the momentous collision of cultures that was the founding of Jamestown in pre-colonial North America. The film begins with the arrival of the English explorers as the natives gaze at the magnificent vessels in amazement. The scene, brilliantly set to Wagner's "Vorspiel" to his opera Das Rheingold, beautifully captures the sheer wonder that both sides express in anticipation of the imminent meeting.
The settlers land, and John Smith (Colin Farrell) and Captain Newport (Christopher Plummer) are quickly established as our prominent English players. Brought over in the stocks, Smith is already a man with few allies. Presumably anxious to regain one of his finest crewmembers, Newport immediately absolves Smith of his supposed seditious remarks and places him in a crucial leadership role. Malick wastes no time in chronicling the inception of what would become Jamestown and gives us glimpses of encounters with the natives, construction of the settlement, and early failures through an expertly edited brief sequence. We piece together the strain the new environment has had on these settlers with little to no dialogue – one of the filmmaker's most admirable trademarks. All the while, the young Pocahontas (impressive newcomer Q'orianka Kilcher) watches from afar as this strange new settlement grows. She quickly becomes the film's main protagonist and the eyes through which we witness this pre-American world.
When the situation for the English settlers becomes dire, Newport returns to England for more aid and names John Smith captain in his stead. Before he leaves, he charges the fearless explorer with increasing trade and improving relations with the natives. Things turn sour during an outlying expedition, and Smith finds himself held captive by Pocahontas' tribe. In an act of grace, the young maiden steps in front of the explorer's executioner after his intrusion has sealed his fate. Bound to her by this courageous deed, Smith, allowed to stay with the tribe through winter, becomes the girl's pupil as she teaches him to see the world through the eyes of her people. This sequence provides the beating heart of Malick's film. Like Smith, we too are charged with discovering and engaging this beautiful new world. Pocahontas and Smith expectedly form a bond of love as they learn the other's language and perception of the world around them. Malick captures this blossoming romance and the character's shared awe of nature through exquisite, copious editing. He creates his story by piecing together seconds of footage woven tightly like an elaborate tapestry.
Spring arrives, and the natives return Smith to his foreign colony. They tear a blindfold from his eyes and the dilapidated state of Jamestown stands before him. Burdened by the despair that lingers in the settlement like a pandemic, the captain reassumes his responsibilities and takes charge once more of preserving the fort until Newport's return. Smith's newfound allegiance pits the settlers against the natives on multiple occasions, and this seeming betrayal ultimately leads to his dismissal from Malick's narrative seamlessly transitioning into another exploration of a different new world for the film's true protagonist, Pocahontas. Banished by her tribe for her loyalty to the wayward captain, the girl makes a new home alongside the foreigners in Jamestown. She adopts a new name, wardrobe, and religion. Her domesticated countenance leads her into the arms of another Englishman after Smith's departure. John Rolfe (Christian Bale), a soft-spoken and serious tobacco cultivator, falls for this fascinating newcomer and convinces her to wed him. Pocahontas (now Rebecca) eventually journeys with her husband (and son) to his native England, and Malick's camera follows the young wife, now a foreigner herself, as she discovers this industrial new world.
Malick ends his exploration of wonder here in England as his protagonist succumbs to a fatal illness prior to returning to her motherland. Before her untimely death, Rebecca faces her former lover again but poignantly chooses dutifully loving her husband. It's a beautifully subtle close to that chapter of innocent discovery. The filmmaker closes his film as it begins with Wagner's "Vorspiel", this time accompanying an unforgettable montage of Rebecca joyfully frolicking around as she used to, only now in this disparate new world.
The New World stands as an undeniable triumph of unimaginable beauty. Though the film's creator, like his brave heroine, finds beauty in all worlds whether manufactured or natural, he bares an inclination to favor God's original gift of nature. And, in crafting a story through the eyes of a Native American protagonist, he seems to have found the perfect medium through which to paint this magnificent vision. Seeking to tell its story largely through images and scarce dialogue, The New World proves a perfect successor to the meditations of The Thin Red Line. More than many films of this past decade (and century for that matter), it makes a strong case for the distinct visuals of film as pure art.
