What should I do?
I'm becoming a bit obsessed with my kids house. I actually lost sleep over it last night.
I've been going over on Mondays for a few hours to try to help conquer some of the mess…..but truthfully, I know it's beyond anything that I can do.
Last week my friend B, who is now a retired social worker, was telling me about some of the situations that she had to deal with. It scared me!
Some homes are so bad that it become necessary to remove the children, for health and safety reasons, from the home. That gives me nightmares! Regardless of how messy/dirty or whatever that house is, those kids are loved and looked after and need their parents. If a 911 call is placed and parameds determine that there are issues that need to be addressed, they are OBLIGATED to contact social services.
What if my kids needed to call 911 and that happened? I'd have a heart attack…… But I fear that is just about where there is house. I want to help but must tread carefully. They know the state of their house, they know it's probably quite dangerous…..they know!
My son hates it. He does try but just can't keep up. My DIL is a wonderful girl. She's a great Mom, is a registered Doula https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doula , volunteers for the school (ran the best ever and most profitable craft fairs they've had the last two years), is involved in girl guides etc. etc. BUT……I truly think she is depressed, clinically depressed. I know she was getting some help a while ago, I'm not sure she still is. She's lost a ton of weight and looks wonderful so you would think she'd feel great about herself….I'm not sure she does.
When I go over I only spend a few hours because I know it's hard for her…..after a couple hours, she's tired or not feeling well or something……I think these are "excuses" (not in a bad way…..) because she's overwhelmed by the whole thing she really does start to feel unwell. I can sense her getting a little stressed at that point and know I need to pack up and go because I don't want a fight or argument. How do I breach the subject of getting more help to her? Such a fine line to walk on.
I mentioned some of the things that B told me to my son. It just stresses him out more and I don't want him going home and getting mad at her…..not good for either of them. I have to tread so carefully and I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing BUT I don't want them to live like that……what do I do???
I'm going to call her shortly and I'm afraid she'll have some excuse for me not to come over…..then what do I say?

UFC 202 is starting to feel very close. The closer we get to event the more talent stacked this card becomes. In anticipation of this event LWOS will breakdown a number of breakdowns of fights on the card. We start with a two part series on the men of the hour. The first part shall look at the styles of both men. The second part shall be an accompaniment on how those factors may play in to the rematch.
UFC 202 McGregor Vs Diaz Part 1: A Clash Of Styles
Nate Diaz rocketed out of the hardcore favorites section of the MMA community and right in to the public eye with his upset win over brash superstar and self proclaimed 'king of the game', Conor McGregor back in March. The fans have been split down the middle ever since over whether McGregor lost the fight due to his taking it lightly, or whether Diaz is just that much better than him.
Both sides have valid points. However, due to a couple of commonly misunderstood facts being thrown around (cue cries that he went up 'two whole weight classes') people seem to be missing the crux of the argument on both why McGregor lost, and how Diaz won. With the rematch looming large over our heads, what shall be telling in this fight is the degree to which Conor McGregor adapts for Nate Diaz, who time has shown changes for no man.
Conor McGregor: One Note, Or Specialist?
Conor McGregor has often fought as the taller man in his career, but more importantly he has almost always fought as the longer man. With a gangly 74″ reach on a 5 9″ frame, McGregor has length on most of the men he fights. This reach advantage is compounded at featherweight by the fact that he towers above most men in his division.
The essence of McGregor's success in his career has been his ability to use his length and height coupled with something even more uncommon in MMA: a southpaw who knows how to be a southpaw. MMA has far more southpaws than boxing.
What is important about Southpaw/ Orthodox engagements is that because Southpaws have their right hand and right leg in front, the lead hands clash and the jab. The jab, normally the safest weapon a fighter can use, becomes a move that can be blocked easily. It can be turned away with the lead shoulder with ease. Because of this in boxing Southpaws generally eschew a jab in favor of the hand fight. They pull and slapping at their opponents lead hand to draw it out of position before firing a left straight down the path. This would be occupied by an Orthodox fighters jab, while taking his head away from his opponents right hand.
Counter Game
McGregor does this very well, but he also excels at landing the left straight as a counter, either by leaning away from a shot and coming over the top, or his back stepping counter that he famously used to flatten José Aldo with.
McGregor has built his entire game around landing his left straight. Literally everything else he does serves as a set up or as a means of manufacturing a situation in which McGregor can drop his money punch on an opponent. His kicks are notably lighter and faster than other kickers you typically see in MMA, but this serves to bring him back to his stance as quickly as possible in order to be in a position to counter straight away.
Spinning Attacks
His spinning attacks also serve as a means of injecting a sense of urgency to close the distance in his opponents, more so than them being an attempt to actually land a meaningful blow, and this usually means his opponent will get countered on the way in by McGregor's ready and waiting left hand.
So in McGregor you have a man who looks at a cursory glance to be fantastically diverse on the feet. However, upon closer inspection he is very much a specialist. There may not be another southpaw in MMA today who is as committed to the left straight as McGregor is. There also may not be another who is so good at using it. However, he will use it every single time he sees an opportunity to land it, to the exclusion of all other techniques that he possesses. His entire game also revolves around maintaining range, whether with his kicks or by retreating as his opponent steps in, and maintaining range only benefits you when you happen to be either the longer party or the better outfighter.
Nate Diaz: The Perfect Foil.
Speaking of long outfighters, you don't get a much better description of Nate Diaz than that. Standing at 6 ft tall and with an intimidating 76″ reach, Diaz is one of the larger fighters in the Lightweight division. Yes, I said Lightweight, which is exactly one division above McGregor's playground at 145 pounds. While Diaz has competed at Welterweight before, just as McGregor has competed at Lightweight, he saw mixed results, as he bested the 5 ft 10″ Rory Markham and the 5 ft 8″ Marcus Davis, before being thoroughly out-muscled by fellow 6 footers Dong Hyun Kim and Rory MacDonald.
The fact is that much like McGregor at 145, Diaz is simply an unusually large Lightweight, but one who is thoroughly out sized at Welterweight, so to call him a true Welterweight because he fought there before one must also call McGregor a Lightweight by that same logic, rendering the argument that McGregor went up two weightclasses for this fight moot.
Nate Diaz shares two very important qualities with his older brother Nick Diaz. They both have great cardio and Brazilian jujitsu credentials. Both men are black belts under Cesar Gracie and both men do triathlons for fun. A lot of people get up on 'levels' of fitness or athleticism in MMA. For the most part it's all nonsense excuses for why one fighter who is perceived to be worse than another wins (read: Ronda Rousey vs Holly Holm). In the Diaz brothers' case; it is safe to say that they are two of the best conditioned athletes in the sport. They can keep a high pace from the first round through to the fifth with ease.
Nick Diaz vs Nate Diaz Styles
While he is lumped in with his brother Nick as two of MMA's 'greatest boxers', the truth is Nick and Nate fight very differently. Nick looks to get inside and work long strings of body blows together. Nate does his best work from range. What makes Nate unusual in this regard is that he is a very well trained boxer. He has good fundamentals and the ability to box on a straight line, but he too is a Southpaw. As mentioned above, Southpaw boxers tend to forgo their jabs in favor of learning to hand fight and fire their left off the bat. Diaz instead builds off his jab, looking sometimes to double or even triple up on it as he closes the distance.
This removes some of the natural advantages Diaz has as a Southpaw when fighting Orthodox fighters. It also gives him a huge advantage when fighting other Southpaws. In a Southpaw/ Southpaw engagement, the rules are the same as in a conventional Orthodox/ Orthodox engagement. The path of the jab is open and the man who has the better, more educated jab normally dictates the range. The man who leads with his rear hand is attacking with a slower more obvious attack. This punch has to pass the lead right shoulder in order to find its mark. If one man is constantly looking to fire off his rear hand, while the other jabs, the jab will land first 9 times out of 10.
Stockton Slap
It is possible that Nate uses this style in place of conventional Southpaw technique because his main sparring partner, his brother Nick, is also a Southpaw. Southpaw/ Southpaw engagements are nothing new to Mr Diaz.
Nate Diaz also has one very special and recognizable punch, a signature move. This is the infamous Stockton Slap. This is far from being simply a gimmick. The open palmed strike allows Diaz to maximize his reach in a way he never could in boxing. It is an almost straight armed hook that serves as an excellent lean away counter.
So there you have Nate Diaz. He is longer than McGregor and taller than McGregor. Diaz is world class in Brazilian Jujitsu. He has excellent conditioning and also happens to be a Southpaw boxer. His style excels against other Southpaw boxers. If you were to dream up a guy to beat McGregor (other than the boring 'Chad Mendes with 5 rounds of cardio' option) you couldn't do a much better job on paper than Nathan Diaz.
Coming Up
That brings an end to the first half of this breakdown. The second half shall look at what this all means. It will look at where each man had success and struggled in the first fight. We examine how current circumstances inside and outside of the cage may play a factor in the fight. LWOS goes in-depth on the Diaz vs McGregor. This is quickly becoming the most anticipated rematch the world of MMA has had in a very long time.

Stevie Spring insisted that magazines would always have a place because they had a 'bed, bog, bath' element in a Times interview just after she had taken over as Future boss.
It was a good line then and it's a good one now. Peter Preston has looked at such things from a newspaper point of view in Today's Observer. He considers the pros and cons of 'paperless' newspapers (isn't there one too many papers in that phrase?) but points out that there is no concensus in the industry on the way to go. The weakest papers – Independent, Expresses – who you might think would want to make the jump, have made the weakest investment in the digital media. It will take a newcomer without print baggage to shift things.
Media Week did its feature '10 reasons why magazines have a great future' a couple of weeks ago.
But remember the 2000 campaign Microsoft ran in US magazines such as Brill's Content for its e-book reader? (What's an e-book reader? I hear you cry.) It ran:
'2005: The sales of e-book titles, e-magazines and e-newspapers top $1 billion'; and
'2020 Ninety per cent of all titles are now sold in electronic as well as paper form. Websters [US dictionary] alters its first definition of the word 'book' to refer to e-book titles read on screen.'
(Can't give you a web link for this because it has, strangely, disappeared from Microsoft's website.)
The thing about forecasting change is that some unseen technology comes along (or in the case of the e-book reader fails to come along very well) to mess it all up and make the forecasts look ridiculous.
Another good example was Gerry Anderson's UFO from 1970. This had aliens invading earth met by a secret defence force with bases on the moon, submarines shooting interceptor aircraft into the air and artificially-intelligent satellites. There were wireless phones and everyone had a strange object attached to their belts. What were these things? Slide-rules – the inventor of Thunderbirds had never thought of calculators!

Close to two dozen leaders from the ANC's leagues and regions in KwaZulu-Natal gathered at the party's provincial headquarters where they implied that the court ruling which declared its conference unlawful and void was absurd. So now, they said, they would "defend the ANC" by supporting the provincial executive committee's decision to appeal the ruling - although it's not yet clear what the national leadership thinks of this. Meanwhile, this fight could soon come to a polling station near you. By CARIEN DU PLESSIS.
There's this tale of two ANCs in KwaZulu-Natal. Those "counter-revolutionaries" who took the winners of the party's November 2015 conference to court, and those who cooked that conference, according to a high court ruling on Tuesday.
While the technical winners of the conference - the current provincial executive committee - decided to take a back seat and let their allies, leaders of the leagues in the province and some regions do the talking on Tuesday, provincial chairperson Sihle Zikalala had already indicated in broadcast interviews on morning shows that they would seek an appeal.
So the provincial youth, women's and veterans' leagues called a two-and-a-half-hour press conference to voice their support and opinions.

Six Steps to Optimism: Day 4
"Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier."—Colin Powell
Optimism is something that can't be held in check. You can't restrict it or put limitations on it. Sometimes, in the medical profession, you'll hear people say that they are "cautiously optimistic".
If you are cautiously optimistic, it means that you are still struggling between optimism and doubt. This is fine, but true optimism inspires faith and encourages enthusiasm.
If one person is optimistic and they interact with others who share the same dream or even just the same space in the world, the optimism of one can often spread to another.
One person's belief and faith in the rightness of things, even when they're seemingly incomprehensible or unfair, is contagious. Before long, if you hold on to the certainty that comes with optimism that, yes, you can and will reach your goal, then other people will join you in believing this.
When multiple people believe the same thing, their power to manifest results becomes magnified. It's like building a house. One person can do it alone and many have, but it's hard work. The end result may be a beautiful house, but it might take five years for that one person to complete the task. If, on the other hand, that same person talks to ten other people, and of those ten, three get caught up in the first man's optimism and decide to help him build the house, the task might get finished in two years instead of five.
Now, let's say those three people carry their optimism and enthusiasm and passion for house-building and each talk to twenty people. Assuming twelve more people get excited and join the project, now, instead of just one man working five years alone to achieve his dream of building a house, sixteen people work together, complementing one another, encouraging and strengthening each other, and the house is done in a year.
You can see how this works. It's not always clear how each person who gets excited and optimistic about your dream will be able to help you on your journey. But every time you share that dream with another human being, you increase your chances of gaining assets that will help you, and you also increase the chances that, inspired by your example, another person will make the choice to be an optimist and begin their own journey toward fulfillment.
Yesterday, I asked you to treat each person you encountered as "source material", someone whose wisdom had the potential to change your life.
Today, contemplate and act on this: At the end of the day, what do you have that you didn't have at the beginning, and which person did you choose to interact with to produce that growth in assets?

"The small group leader whose lifestyle depicts self-centeredness creates disciples of self-centeredness."
Group leader, if you want to make disciples who live with the humility of Jesus, it's essential that you keep these thoughts in the forefront of your mind…
1) What you model your group members will do.
2) What you model is more important than what you teach.
3) If you model self-centeredness you'll birth generations of self-centered disciples.

Sometimes I just forget songs that used to make me smile real big. And it's the most marvelous feeling when something or someone reminds you of them. I adore this song. I started watching the new Netflix series "Sense8" and at the end of episode four, this song was used in the most beautiful way, to create one of the most stunningly touching scene I've ever seen on television. Go watch Sense8 if you haven't already. But before you do that, let's listen to the song. And you know you can't listen to this song and not sing along. Come on, let's hear it. Top of your lungs, loud and clear, the neighbors won't mind. 🙂
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution

Yesterday, I posted white and light silver cars. In Leghorn Park in Petaluma, California there were 9 cars in the parking lot in the earlier part of the afternoon. 7 of those cars/trucks/SUVs were white. One was silver. Only one out of nine of the vehicles in the public parking lot at the park was not silver or white. Really? Wonder what the odds of that would be in Vegas.
Left hand side of the parking lot.
Right hand side of the parking lot. I rest my case. For that stupid move.
Oh………………..I almost forgot. This means that some of you are reading my blog. You can come on using the invisibility cloak.
So……………….you have been told that I am a menace to society for some reason. You take my medications periodically. Vigilante Stalkers do everything they can to throw "off" the survivor / target ( targeted individual ) . Okay, so at any time you think this person can blow. You hope this person blows……………………..I won't. But, you are told that. You push, push, push……………………….and yet some of you IDIOTS play this game/charade with KIDS IN THE CAR!!!!!!! I swear, you are the most idiotic parents in the world. Believe me when I say that I never thought I would talk like this. But, Geez Louise………..dumb.
There is a theory posed by one person that perhaps these incidences of otherwise reasonable people who have come upon bad times (laid off – maybe because of mobbing/gaslighting…………divorce because the person was seen to be acting unbalanced talking about seeing cars of a certain color in a parking lot……………….whatever) is sometimes the result of this type of stalking. I am not ruling it out……………yet. Not in a lot or most cases, but I could see this happening. Dumb bunnies and I don't mean to insult the bunnies.
This is the heel of one of six wool socks that I purchased a while back. Nicely made. I may have accidentally put a few in the washer and dryer- once. Hand washed. Quite a while back, they started, one by one, just appearing like this. Okay………….strange, but they are wearing out. But they weren't. After these droids starting doing their smoke and mirror act in my apartment – It hit. Wait a minute. This is not how socks wear out. Not the heels anyway. No, the material gets thinner and thinner, then there is a small hole that might still have a few threads going across……………..then the hole gets bigger. Yes – your tricks are supposed to be a bit not the norm, but Dufus, this was idiotic.
A while back, there was a cut in one of my bottom sheets for my bed. Right where my feet go. A straight 90 degree angle cut. Strange………………….washer? What?! I got another sheet. Then some idiots figured out that you have to make it look like it was wearing out normally. Must have brought something rough and rubbed it on the spot, right where my feet go. I ignored it for a bit. I really did. Oh well…………………c'est la vie. Que sera, sera …………whatever will be will be (Doris Day in a Hitchcock movie). I have two sets of sheets. HAD two sets of sheets. Can't afford to get another one. YET.
Oh yeah. The gluten free bakery in town would never fix a salty cookie. Ugh. But, they did. One that looked a little different than the rest. That is harassment – anything that is intended to cause someone discomfort. Actually, it might fall more under libel or slander if you have passed whatever you heard on. "Stuart" and the rest of you idiots need to learn the law also. Another thing I am sure you have noticed – I am not afraid to point fingers. So some members of the law enforcement agency who were "gaslighting" when I worked in Sonoma – I think a few of you have a vendetta. Right? As did the person who made our rope into a noose and put it on the trashcan. Such sweet people……………………right……… …………………….you go with that.
I will eventually edit this. I was going to chose a different color of vehicle. Did this instead.
THE BIG ONE – I am a helluva strong woman!
- Have been through this is 1997 and 2013. I KNOW your tricks. I have been observing. Doing things and then watching what would happen.
- Have all the prerequisites needed to take you down a notch or two or three – I drove a small Toyota white truck for a long time, and then a few Landcruisers.
- I've been off road. I was at at least one big truck event where a truck jumps over another, etc. Good friends of mine owned the Corona Raceway and I would go and watch. I know that there are people behind those lights and semis and inside those trucks. Oooh, Aaah. NOT!
- I went down into Canyonlands with my ex and two great friends and went on the White Rim Trail. 1 1/2 days out. I have been on a road that was redone by women convicts so that it would be harder and help protect the bighorn sheep in Anza Borrego. We'd get out and move boulders for one vehicle and then have to move them for the next vehicle. I planned the trips.
- I have faced Reynold's Metal and Whirlpool lawyers with neighbors and won! City water to all the houses on a contaminated plume. I survived four winters in MN and the Halloween Storm of 1991!
- I am a teacher.
- I am a special education teacher and I'll be damned if you were going to mess with my students. I was the fourth teacher they had in two years. Some of my students are my heroes. Many of them are my heroes. To come to this country in fourth grade and have the only other Mexican student translate things for you (both are from Mexico, so I am not out of line). Culture shock big time. Then, the next year, in Spanish you write a heart wrenching essay on what your first year was like. To go to first grade and second grade for reading when you are in fifth grade without one complaint. To take the STAR test in sixth grade in English. Gave up. I went and told her that taking the test in English was loco/crazy. I knew her. From that moment on she worked so hard on that test. All along I told her that English is crazy. She is one of my heroes.
- I spent 10 years and 3 pregnancies to have 2 healthy, wonderful children (four month miscarriage). Back to school night for my son. The graph was on the number of siblings each child had.
- I remember details when it matters and I'm doing just fine, thank you very much. I could never figure out how, when someone else was at fault in an accident how I could remember every word they said, and every detail………………… Turns out I have my mom's memory. Both my mom's and dad's strength – just my mom ………….didn't have the right type of strength. So, we basically raised ourselves without a "mom". We took care of Mom. God bless her. Every day I thank Mom for my memory for details and the ability to discern little differences in color. Ah…………her stubbornness too.
- I am 62 and not afraid of you. I am 62, live in Sonoma County and people can be quirky – act off. Works for me. I don't have a problem talking to myself to try and get some of you idiots to think. Oh, but that's right – you DON'T think. You are not supposed to think. Think about the technology out there OR what would an enemy do. What could an enemy do to get back at someone? I don't care what religion they practice or what job they have where people trust them with their lives………………they can twist anything. Naive people. I was naive too. For a second, here and there I wish I still was. Nope. Someone needs to fight you stupid, idiots! Might as well be someone who, strangely, has the necessary skills.
- I fight for the two blood relatives and two in laws who were in World War II. It took a year for my dad to get about without glasses (and possibly memorize the eye chart). My dear, sweet uncle who was a teacher, vice principal, principal and superintendent was a bombardier – over Dresden. He dropped bombs – and later I am sure he had to deal with thinking about the innocents that were killed by those bombs. All four of those people were fighting the Nazis. They did not fight for any of you Vigilantes who are stomping on our judicial system, our laws and our Constitution! THIS is called NO TOUCH TORTURE. Each and every one of you turns the knife just a tiny bit. You almost won last time…………………………….NOT this time. I am NOT the same person and I know how you do all your little tricks. You have used technology to carry out your charades and magic tricks. At some point technology will be used to take you down.
No touch torture was used by the STASI when East Germany wanted to "look good" for the west. Instead of making people disappear, they used no touch torture. Instead of breaking limbs they used no touch torture. And you want to know the worst part? It was the work of the East German citizens who helped keep this going. Reporting on their fiances who were going to try and escape…………………..People can still go and see their STASI files. That's how the wall stayed up for so many years. Aren't you so proud? Having fun. Yeah, you are. Feeling self righteous. This is your group. Your cause.
YOU have too many cooks. That's been the beauty of this, right? Well, tonight I was at the closest pizza parlor. I saw the old car that has been around. Oh, he works there. This kid was going to head home after I got in my car. Instead he heads back inside. I bet he went to tell his co workers about "me" oooooh.
1997 The ex cops or retired cops, the guys on the bikes who headed up into a dead end road…………………….all those people went "oops"………..our mistake and had looks of chagrin on their faces. So what that I had to leave my kids (with the phone number of the payphone) to try and sort things out at the Cheese Factory – Half of it was dealing with what comes when you are 42 and find yourself coming out of a MILD manic episode and part of it was trying to deal with the shit people dealt me. Didn't bother to really find out what I was doing. The vigilantes started up the DAY I WENT TO SEE MY COUNSELOR! Wow! Your stupid cause has gotten too big for its britches. Oh and by the way……………I never understood the B word. The one that goes along with males without married parents – old fashioned meaning. I sure understand it now AND it can apply to males and females.
- I have a great sense of humor – from my family. I can hear my cousin's laugh – great belly laugh and I thank her. She's doing fine. A genius environmentalist. I'm doing just fine.
- I was born mindful. If I have to be sick………..hey, I might as well make the best of it. I saw the sunrise of the Grand Canyon looking through the boards of an out house. That sure was a beautiful sunrise. I could have felt miserable and not seen it. I chose to enjoy the sunrise. We had a picture on our living room wall of that sunrise.
THIS is my cause. I am the perfect person and God is helping me. Yes, s/he is.

As years go by, I have been discovering I am not able to do all the things I could do ten years ago, or would like to do now, to serve my Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ, King of kings.
I believe and know that God has all my days numbered since before I was born, and since I am still here to talk and write about things, He is not finished with me yet.
According to the Written Word of God, the righteous will still bear fruit in old age, so my goal is to be seen righteous, in Jesus Christ, and still be a fruit bearer for my Heavenly Father.
"The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, "The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him."" Psalm 92:12-15
There are many people who do not yet know Jesus Christ as Saviour, and some who do, who are not yet living in the Fullness of the Spirit of God. I pray for opportunities to share the Gospel of the Good News of Jesus Christ, as well as the empowering of the Spirit of Jesus with many, while I am still able.
"Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come." Psalm 71:18 NIV
As the physical years add up, and perhaps the physical body weakens, the Spiritual body will be strengthened in Jesus, by the Power of His Spirit. When the end of this earthly life arrives, my desire is to be able to say as Apostle did.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7 ESV

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico man who skipped town before he could be sentenced on more than a dozen counts related to child pornography has been captured in Minnesota.
The U.S. Marshals Service says William Cook was arrested in Buffalo, Minn., on Wednesday.
Authorities say Cook failed to appear for his May 23 sentencing after being convicted of 16 counts of sexual exploitation of children, including distribution, manufacturing and possession of child pornography.
Investigators with the Marshals Service, the New Mexico Attorney General's Office and the Santa Fe County sheriff's office had learned that Cook fled to Minnesota. Deputies in that state were able to take him into custody.
Cook is now awaiting extradition back to New Mexico.

happy trails freak!
this is the type of crime crakers commit prey on little kids .
lock him up and throw away the key. oh better double lock this creeps cell.
Hopefully the other inmates will hear of his crimes. They do not take kindly to child predators.
Is that why Capetown South Africa alone had 70,000 sexual assaults on girls and women in the past past year?
According to drug dealers, as long as he is only dealing, it's just fine.
Here's what they say about dealing:
Drug dealers would not exist if there was no demand out there.
Drug dealers are simply providing a service to customers
that are willing participants in the game.
A drug dealer does nothing but supply a substance to a
CONSENTING, WILLING, AND WANTING individuals.
Now instead of drug dealers we'll put in child porn
dealers, or children for sex dealers. According to drug
dealers standards dealing is OK. Their just supplying what
the costumer wants. Strange logic.
I guess to missed the part where the story says he "manufactured" child porn. So he was the one who physically abused children.
I don't get how drug dealing is the same.
Drug dealing isn't the same for sure, but the excuses they use don't work any better for them as they would for him. He was a distributor or dealer. Dealing is not O.K Yes, it might be a little off topic, but there are some connections.
Using this guy in a scenario may help clarify that " I only supply what people want." excuse doesn't work. At least not for me.
What a weak analogy..you fail!
Actually, this is a friend of mine. I have known him for eight years, loved him, and never known what he was involved in. One of the things he told me long ago was that gay men/women learn very well to lie.

Dressing in the Dark - Marion Maneker
Tomorrow is Independence Day, July 4th, so this is a bit of a firework! Yesterday I noticed a review of a book on men's fashion while waiting in a lobby in San Francisco. The book, "Dressing in the Dark", speaks about the trends in fashion now that the traditional model shirt/suit/tie has been dismantled! The "magazine" was Gene Hiller which, in fact, is a store in Sausalito... clearly a place I'd be seriously out of my depth!
Marion Maneker's book apparently traces changes in fashion via male movie stars. Clearly many have an ability to influence society that is based on how well they are known and recognized ... and often not much related to themes of movies they have made. Does this imply that the most influential business leaders in the future will be aided to a significant extent by their appearance.

Dating show host
20-Oct-2017 14:14
helping Mzansi singles to get a date with their crush and confess their love!
The show is produced by Parental Advisory, a production company owned by Lungile Radu, Thomas Gumede and Siyabonga Ngwekazi.
Online dating is also relatively popular among the college-educated, as well as among urban and suburban residents.
And 38% of Americans who are single and actively looking for a partner have used online dating at one point or another.
By that year, his shows had all begun to wind down. "I couldn't deal with this anger, and I had to get it out of my system. I thought I'd take about a month before I went back to California, and I would write it out." He emerged with "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind: An Unauthorized Biography," which was made into a 2002 film directed by George Clooney and written by Charlie Kaufman.
"When they saw 'The Gong Show,' and I would come out, they all thought I was whacked out of my mind. I had a public company." Barris's most outlandish moment, though, came in 1982 when he wrote an autobiography announcing he had served as a contract CIA assassin during his time working in television.
And it has now been confirmed that Scarlett Moffatt will be hosting the new version of the show, which will air on Channel 4.

Ahhh,I'm in a bit of a post Christmas haze. Turkey and goat brie on toast was a delicious/bad idea for breakfast!
I have a wonderful stack of books to work through. Nothing makes me happier than a pile of new reading material. My Mum sent me Brideshead Abbreviated by John Grace which is basically snarky abbreviations of popular books. I've been chuckling my through it for most of the afternoon.

US Dollar Continued To Rally On Better Than Expected Data
US Dollar Continued To Rally On Better Than Expected Data
Global markets reacted on Tuesday to a broad range better than expected US economic data. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen was clearer than ever on Friday that the central bank was poised to raise interest rates this year, as the U.S. economy was set to bounce back from an early-year slump and as headwinds at home and abroad waned. Asian markets are trading lower as string of positive data from the US has raised rate hike bets in the world's largest economy. U.S. CORE durable goods orders excluding aircraft, a closely watched proxy for business spending plans, rose 1.0 percent last month after an upwardly revised 1.5 percent increase in March, according to the Commerce Department. New U.S. single-family home sales rose 6.8% more than expected in April and the median price surged, suggesting the housing market recovery was gaining traction. U.S. consumer confidence improved to 95.4 more than expected in May 95.2, easing concerns over the health of the economy, industry data showed
The dollar climbed more than 1 percent against other major currencies on Tuesday, extending recent gains on upbeat data that lifted expectations the Federal Reserve will start raising U.S. interest rates in 2015. The dollar climbed to its highest in nearly eight years against the Japanese yen and pushed the euro, already weighed down by anxieties over Greece's financial crisis, below $1.09 for the first time in a month. The euro fell to $1.0850 to more than a month's low as Greece nears its Jun 5th debt repayment deadline. The nation owes 1.6 billion euros to the International Monetary Fund, and 300 million Euros are due early next month. Dollar strength on rate hike hopes adding more weaknesses.
The Japanese yen broke the 123 range as the US dollar continued to rally and eased a bit in the Asian session after the release of Bank of Japan minutes from its last meeting. The Bank of Japan's decision makers expect private consumption will remain resilient as incomes are improving, but they remained concerned their 2 percent inflation goal would be difficult to keep, meeting minutes show. Some members said consumer price inflation wouldn't reach the target in fiscal 2017, although they agreed that longer term inflation expectations appear to be rising, the minutes of last month's meeting show. The BOJ has pushed back its timeline for reaching its inflation target to fiscal 2016 and minutes show members expect to tap the target then.
The pound fell by 0.2 percent yesterday as hawkish comments by Janet Yellen led to strength seen in the US Dollar Index and exerted pressure on the currency. However, sharp losses were capped owing to low volatility and weakness in the Euro. The currency made an intraday low of 1.1.5454. Sterling was on track for its biggest fall against the dollar in three weeks on Friday after a stronger-than-expected rise in U.S. core consumer prices in April revived bets that inflation may reach the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target. If the upturn continues, it could allow the Fed to consider raising interest rates later this year, providing a boost to the dollar. Earlier, sterling hovered near a 7-year high against a trade-weighted basket of currencies, buoyed by robust data that bolstered a view that the British economy was outperforming its peers.

A CAR fanatic who murdered a thief for ripping the stereo from his prized BMW was jailed for life yesterday.
Darren Lynch tracked down junkie Mark Biggs, 39, and plunged a 10in knife into his heart. He died in his sister's arms.
Judge Richard Hone QC, told Lynch, 33, at the Old Bailey: "You intended serious harm and were quite indifferent as to whether death resulted."
Builder Lynch admitted murder. His stepdad saw Mr Biggs break into his BMW in Camberwell, South East London, take the stereo and gifts for Lynch's daughters.
Lynch raced round on his bike for an hour and spotted Mr Biggs. He said: "I'm going to kill him," before stabbing him. A witness heard him say: "You took my stereo." He was caught on CCTV.

The only thing that keeps people going when hiking through the desert is the futile hope of reaching a luscious, green Oasis. In the desert of cheap backpacker hostels, where beds are often rude and lumpy, showers sometimes have hot water or water pressure, and all of your belongings have a tendency to walk happily into the bags of other travelers, the hope of an oasis dwindles into more of a fevered dream. Being the well prepared, experienced travelers that we are (link to amateur hour), we stumbled upon an oasis within our second week with our our newly made German friend, Jana. It was called 'El Galope.'
Miguel and Monica, two Uruguayan world travelers turned hostel owners, run this beautiful and quiet horse farm found amidst rolling green fields near the coast of Southern Uruguay. Here we galloped horses (and nearly got tossed from the saddle), ate the freshest goat cheese, biked 30 miles to the beach and back, and drank beer at a bar with locals in the town of Nueva Helvicia. The beds at the hostel could rival beds at fine hotels, the food (fish fillets and cheese fondue) was heavenly, and relaxing by the fireplace was just what the doctor ordered. We even recovered Dan's iPhone after the horse's galloping threw it into the weeds. If you visit Uruguay, you MUST go to El Galope. As Miguel phrased it, El Galope is a perfect place to take a 'Holiday from your Holiday."
"Holiday is over. Back to Holiday!" ~ Jonathan

First, a few words about the Winter Olympics, and in particular events such as bobsled, luge and skeleton.
Bobsled has been a part of the winter games for a very long time, while, skeleton, first contested in 1928, was not in part of the games from 1948 until 2002. Luge is the relative newcomer, only having been introduced into Olympic competition in 1964.
Fun to watch on television, the speeds at which they run and the spectacular crashes that on occasion occur sometimes elicit the exclamation, "Who in the world ever decided it was a good idea to do that?"
Anyone who wonders about the origin of luge, skeleton or bobsled clearly never owned a large cardboard box. Wright's Drugstore at the corner of 33rd and Avenue R in Galveston was the source of mine. Cherry phosphates were had for a nickel. Mr. Wright himself would sometimes unlock the wooden gate behind which lay a pile of boxes, and he would allow us to take a few.
We made them into race cars, space ships and fortresses. The names luge and bobsled had little meaning; a skeleton was something we really didn't want to have much to do with, since we already had to deal with the monsters who reportedly lived in the oleander bushes that lined the sidewalk between the drugstore and our front door. Lucky for us, they only came out at night.
Anyway, we had no mountains, so we used the front steps as a bumpy substitute. There were to my recollection no serious injuries.
But this is a golf column, and while concussions, contusions, bumps and bruises are generally not the first thing that comes to mind at its mention, it is not without risk.
Mark Davis is a former intercollegiate and NHL hockey player who has a sort of hate-hate relationship with golf. A discussion about some lower back discomfort on my part led to some questions on his part and quickly to a mutual decision that a particular exercise I was doing to aid my golf swing was actually just causing me pain.
Bad backs among golfers are potentially career ending. And like concussions in the NFL, they seem to be more a part of conversation than ever, despite the fact that today's PGA Tour golfers are collectively and without question, the most physically fit the Tour has ever seen.
Julius Boros was Freddie Couples before Freddie was Freddie. But for Couples, the syrupy swing has not kept away back pain. Boros, who looked like he would be more comfortable in a fishing hat, never seemed to have back ailments.
Conversely, Bubba Watson swings with a violently unorthodox move (actually, a variety of moves) that would seem to invite back issues. He has been quoted as stating a belief that his back is spared because of his strange moves. Daly has gripped it and ripped it; his back is apparently without damage, but it has really taken a toll on his belly!
Rory McIlroy bulked up and subsequently suffered rib issues. Tiger Woods, obsessed with Navy SEAL and other extreme military training, transformed his body, increased his strength and, perhaps not coincidentally, developed back problems requiring to date four surgeries.
If you are having back problems, Google the story of Walmart employee Gordon Warlick. You might find some useful information about how to go about resolving your back issues; also, you might find interesting information regarding health care in general.
There was no sign of injury among recent winners in locally contested weekly scrambles.
At Beacon Lakes, Paul Darcy, Bill Pritchard, Ron Beasley, Mike Ripley and Charles Devries went low (61) for a two-stroke win over Charlie Morse, Keith Fuller, Gary Beaver, Paul Brown and Abel Guajardo in the Tuesday senior event.
At Bayou Golf Club, the Wednesday senior scramble was won by Marc Napier, Mickey Lane, Penney Perez and badge buddy Charles Totty. Their 63 edged badge buddy Randy Burrows, John Duree, Marcus Perez and Charlie Surber by a shot.
Karl Huckaby (low net) and Chris Caldwell (low gross) were winners in last Thursday's cash game at Moody Gardens. Huckaby, Scott Sanders, Edgar Cortez and badge buddy Richard Gonzales won the team competition.
Ball High Tors golfers have soldiered on in spite of recently yucky weather. In last week's Boys Varsity Fall Classic at Moody Gardens Golf Course, the host Tors struggled to a seventh place finish out of 11 schools.
Katy Tompkins won the event, followed by Santa Fe and Clear Falls. Dickinson Gator Dylan Henderson tied for medalist, with Santa Fe Indians Eric Grady and Bailey Link one shot back. Also among the top 10 individual scorers were Ball High's Micah Hanning and Clear Falls golfer Curan Petterson.
Be safe, on and off the course.

PiBoIdMo. Day 6.
I wasn't doing anything particularly interesting when I came up with my idea today. But I have come up with an idea and added it to my list, so I can cross off day 6 and start the cogs whirring for a Day 7 Idea.
6 down. 24 to go.
And now for something unrelated to picture book writing—look, look what I found on my tomato bushes! (You won't be sufficiently impressed unless you are familiar with my history of tomato growing. *Be very impressed*)
These are growing in our newly constructed kitchen garden, still something of a work-in-progess. I will be posting more photos soon so you can see the fantabulous corn, and the rather sorry-looking moth-eaten bok choy.
White butterfly heaven.
