Amaechi, who called on the people of the state to vote the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside, in the April 11, 2015, election, assured voters that any policeman of officer that harassed them would be punished.
In the words of Governor Amaechi: "Next week Saturday, I expect everybody to come out and vote. There will be no police molestation again. There will be no Army harassment again. Any police that molests you must be preparing to retire and this time, it will not be retirement, it will be punishment for retirement.
Speaking during a ward-to-ward campaign in Emohua and Ikwerre Local Government Areas on Saturday, the governor urged the electorate not to be afraid to come out and vote. "Come out to vote. We are looking for you to come out to vote."
"The reason why I am running from ward to ward is to encourage you to come out because after what the police and the Army did last time, everybody will be afraid to come out. Saturday, we should all come out to vote and as your governor, I urge you to vote for APC," he said.
"For the police, we believe that by now, they must have learnt their lesson. We believe that by now, they must have known that they were politicians and not Nigerian police. This Saturday, we expect them to be Nigerian police and not Nigerian politicians," he added.

Phyllis Diller just called and she wants her hair back. Ha!
This is one of those dresses that took a long time to sew and it's just okay. I used corduroy and I think the fabric was too thick. The one thing I like is the flounce, I found a silk/velvet remnant and it coordinates really well. If you use this pattern and are busty beware, add darts if you can, or use a fabric with stretch it seems to run small.

No Pattern Skirts
Didn't want to make this picture too big, because it's crappy. Anyway, this skirt did look good in real life and I did get a ton of compliments and it's fun to wear because it is so swirly when you walk. This is pre-ruffled fabric.I went to the No Big Dill website where she has tutorials to make a few different skirts. I think I need more in different colors.

I like things a little loose, but when I tried this on this morning, it was too loose. Put back on the robe and stitched the side seams in a bit.

On the last few new dresses that I just made, I dribbled either food or coffee on them, this one washed up pretty good. I hope that is not a sign of getting older!

McCall's 7160 Dress
The last few patterns I've cut I've used every bit of fabric, that is nice. This pattern was made for knits, but I have a warning: on the top do not use the knits going down on one piece and one going across. Notice the weird affect it has on the top...one smaller, one bigger. Oh, well, I'm still going to wear it. I also used view B for the skirt and who would know the fabric was pieced.
The fabric is from JoAnne's and from this year believe it or not.

Amanda's Adventures in Sewing, where she blogged about this pattern. She had said that she has shortened the band by four inches and that's exactly how much I ended up cutting off too. I constructed and gathered the top, put it on and pinned the band to see if that was about right and it was, happy! I did leave the band wider (instead of folding it over and hemming). And that was about it as far as any changes.
Vogue 8904
I had this on but it was just too tight in the back hip area. The shingles hide some problem areas, but not all. On a cooler day I could wear Spanx and it would be fine. The fabric was from JoAnne Fabrics last year. I cut my normal size on top (16) and graded up to the largest size in the hips.

This is one of my favorite patterns, made three times to date. The top is a knit and the bottom is a woven, both from SR Harris, and from this year. Got a lot of compliments, but I think it's because the fabric is so cute.
My two most favorite patterns so far.
Butterick 5920
I gave my husband some grief...didn't he notice my slip was hanging out by about three inches? Went to work that way too. Any way I really like this pattern. It was easy to do and fits nicely. I've had this fabric for many, many, many years. I added an embroidered piece for one of the pockets and that's about it.

This paper reports on results of an empirical simulation study for adaptation of weights through gradient descent for a Hopfield neural network configured as a static optimizer and tested on the traveling salesman problem. Adaptation through gradient descent within the context of recurrent and non-recurrent back-propagation training was attempted in the weight space, which is high-dimensional, i.e. on the order of 1,000,000,000,000 weights for a two-dimensional node array of the Hopfield network configured for a 1000-city problem instance. Ensuing substantial empirical work, practically no noteworthy progress could be recorded for realization of the adaptation in the weight space: the adaptation algorithm failed to locate a set of weight values that established the solutions of the traveling salesman problem instances as local minima in the Lyapunov space. Accordingly, the findings in this paper tend to suggest that alternate means of adaptation schemes with a small number of freely adjustable parameters should be considered.

5 minutes late for ESL so the admin DQ'd us. Tried our best to play in all the qualifiers but it seems our hopes for the Major in Katowice have come to end. Suppose this is our punishment for taking both series to 3 games. GGs!!
— Peter Dager (@Peterpandam) January 11, 2018
This was definitely something out of their control, since their previous match went into a Best of Three series. This proves to be a big disaster for the team who has been looking to participate in the upcoming Major.

So I'm designing my own shower invites because: I actually want to and I need practice making my own envelope liners for the wedding invites. Any paper people like myself will totally understand 🙂
ANYHOO, I really don't want my wedding colours (purple and black) to be included in the shower, which is taking place in the summer. Also, I am sick of purple and black at this point 🙂
My question – do my shower colours HAVE to match my wedding colours???? (I was thinking tiffany blue and dark magenta pink).

Chandra Nandini: A Siya ke Ram story
It was just after Chandra's and Nandini's marriage, he had just slipped away from her grip and gone to bed. Chandra smiled to himself as he went down deep into his dreams……………………………………………………………………. "Bhaiya, sorry to disturb you but you have been sleeping for so long, it is noon now!" That was the voice he heard when he got up. "Boy, call your bhaiya somewhere else, this is Magad ke Raja Chandragupt Maurya," Chandra replied and turned over in his bed. "Bhaiya, are you feeling ill? Why are you saying such weird things? You never slept for so long. Bhabhi also is sleeping for since the sun set." Now Chandra was mad. He turned over to scream at the crazy man talking to him but felt something underneath him. "Pitamaharaj," came the mumbling below him.
Nandini was dreaming of her good old days with her father when something that felt like an elephant fell on her. She woke up with a start, to find herself in some temporary shelter with 2 men, one on top of her, and another watching him. "AAAAAARGH!" Nandini cried. "Nandini?" asked the one on top of her. "Chandra?" Nandini managed to mumble. The guy nodded.
Suddenly, it all dawned upon him. Somehow, Nandini and he had switched personalities with random 2 people in the forest. He carefully got off Nandini [only her soul included] and asked the other man, "Who am I and who is she now?" The man replied, "Bhaiya, don't you recognize me, Lakshman? You are Dashrath nandan ram and this is your Siya .Day before yesterday, we just taught that demoness Shurpanakha a lesson? Remember?"
Nandini nearly got a heart attack. How did she end up in Tretayug? "OK Lakshman, now I remember, you may go out. We will be out in a minute, "Chandra, or Ram, or whoever he was said. As soon as the other guy got out, the first guy scream "You witch Nandini, what magic have you used? Get us back!" This was Chandra for sure. So she scream back "If I knew how to get back, I would have done it as fast as I can. Hey Bhagvan, what did I do to get stuck as Sita during vanvaas with this man?"
Chandra felt sure Nandini was responsible for all of it. If only he had some solid evidence. But, for now, they will have to act together. "We better not fight now. If we do not let Ramayan happen as it is, then we both will change history forever,"
Nandini knew Chandra was right. They might just be able to find a solution to their dilemma by going on with this whole thing. She nodded. But a question worried her, and Chandra also seemed to be thinking about it: How long would they have to be Ram and Sita?
Precap: Nandini sees the golden deer she was waiting for. But, before she could say anything, Chandra says "OK my dear Siya, I will get the deer for you at any cost. "She looks at Lakshman's shocked face and glares at Chandra.
Author's note: Dis is NOT my idea at all… U may b shocked but my dis is my frnd's ff… She is a die-heart fan of Siya ke Ram nd Chandra Nandini… She asked me not 2 mention her name in d ff… All criticisms r welcomed… Hope u enjoy dis ff… Nd vanshu di, she told me 2 tell u dat she got dis idea frm ur tym travel ff…
Jai Siya Ram???

Dear Ken,
Is there a polite way to ask one's guests to leave once the party is over?
My country and I are very welcoming. We have opened our borders for four years to various soldiers, contractors, CIA agents, al-Qaeda terrorists, Abrams tanks and Apache helicopters, etc. I meekly confess we have a very pleasant backyard and have received much flattery from our guests. My country and I make a genuine attempt to provide a clean pool, delicious food, nice company, etc. Many of our visitors make remarks such as "I feel so at ease here!" or "I am so comfortable in your country!"
However, I feel that these guests have overstayed their welcome. I do not understand. Why is it that everybody just seems to love our country and never wants to leave?
After four years of this visiting, we are dropping delicate hints that it is late and we want things to end. We make sure we are seen cleaning up after car bombings and mortar fire. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has made comments such as "Gee, the hour grows late and I must rebuild Baghdad tomorrow." Muqtada al Sadr has tried shoving their teeth in with the muzzle of a .45 while suggesting that he's not kidding around. Now parliament is demanding a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. soldiers and a freezing of current troop levels.
Nothing appears to work. Our entreaties are more or less ignored. How can we make our guests leave? My country and I are considering ceasing entertaining wholly!
Best wishes,
Frustrated in Kadhimiyah,
Dear Frustrated in Kadhimiyah,
Slip mickeys into their Alabama Slammers and call for a taxi to take them home.

6 years back on a winter evening, all of us were enjoying the 'quality family time' that we always spend together. On that day, We recorded a song with my elder brother playing the guitar.
It's winter time again, I thought I should share it here. I was in 8th standard. The song brings back lot of good old memories. 🙂
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on.
Update: Forgot to mention that I sang this song. 😛

NE Compost Area
During the Autumn, we hope to have a big blitz on the NE corner. This is intended to be an area for composting, with bays built of pallets and posts. As the bays fill up, they will be kept damp and covered and, eventually, rotted down compost will be available.
However, this can't happen unless only compostable material is deposited. therefore, please, please don't put branches, thick twigs, woody stuff like cabbage stalks, etc. Burn infected material like blighted tomato plants as the blight spores aren't killed by the composting process.
The work of a few volunteers over the summer has been appreciated but it is now necessary to have some paid help in order to get further work done. However volunteer help is always welcome though — perhaps during the winter when there is less to do on the plot. We will discuss this further at the AGM.

Flood basalts and Ice Age floods: Repeated late Cenozoic cataclysms of southeastern Washington
Bruce N. Bjornstad, R. Scott Babcock, George V. Last, 2007. "Flood basalts and Ice Age floods: Repeated late Cenozoic cataclysms of southeastern Washington", Floods, Faults, and Fire, Pete Stelling, David S. Tucker
Download citation file:
- Share
Like nowhere else on Earth, repeated cataclysmic floods—first of molten lava, then of water from Ice Age floods—decimated southeastern Washington during the late Cenozoic. Beginning ca. 17 Ma, successive outpourings of Columbia River basalt spread for hundreds of kilometers from volcanic vents located in the southern and eastern Columbia Plateau. Up to 300 separate basalt flows have been identified, reaching cumulative thicknesses of 5 km in the Pasco Basin. With the close of basalt volcanism ca. 6 Ma, only a few million years elapsed before the Pacific Northwest succumbed to a new era of flooding.
Outburst floods are associated with regular glacial cycles that have occurred periodically over the past 1–2 m.y. from one or more Pleistocene, ice-marginal lakes. During the last glacial cycle (15,000–20,000 calendar yr) alone, as many as 100 separate flood events, mostly from glacial Lake Missoula, are postulated. In the Channeled Scabland, after removing a blanket of loess, differential erosion through hundreds of meters of layered basalt with widely contrasting variations in fracture patterns and structure resulted in a unique assemblage of erosional landforms including multi-tiered cataract canyons, buttes, mesas, and rock basins. A number of depositional features, including huge flood bars blanketed with giant current ripples, as well as ice-rafted erratics and bergmounds, are also prevalent.

I have been lost this week in research. I realized that what I know about my family tree is close to nothing. My Mom's parents were a "contemporary Romeo and Juliet" story, their parents (my great grandparents) did not approve of their love and therefore cut all contact with them. My Mom hardly knows anything about her grandparents. All she knows is that they fled from Poland during the Polish-Soviet war from Poland. My grandfather was born in Russia, a couple of years later. I have researched their family name, which so far appears to be a very common Polish-Jewish surname. My Mom promised me to talk with her brother to see if he remembers anything. My uncle still lives in Russia and keeps in touch with one of the cousins of theirs. I certainly hope he'll know some more about the family but I also know that it is nearly impossible due to the alienation of my grandparents from their ancestors. It is so interesting, though.
Both my grandparents died a violent death at a very young age: my grandfather died in a car crash when he was 49. An 18-wheeler hit their car head on, he died at the scene. My grandma was with him, she got severely injured. This all happened before I was even born. My grandma lived to see me as a newborn baby but soon after my birth she committed suicide. She always felt guilty for the death of her husband because she knew he was not very good at driving -- they hardly ever drove anywhere -- and she still insisted on them taking a road trip to see my uncles divorced wife to talk to her and try to convince her not to rip my uncle off everything he had. On their way back they had the accident. The driver of the 18-wheeler was drunk and he admitted to being at fault. He sat in prison for several years for negligent homicide. My uncle kept in touch with him, visited him in prison regularly and forgave him for killing his (and my Mom's) parents. He even filed a request of mercy on the driver's behalf and finally the driver was discharged from prison. I always admired my uncle's generosity and kindness. Both him and my Mom "forgave" the guy and did not want his kids to grow up without their father. I think there is no greater level of forgiveness and generosity. Even though I remember Rabbi Schiftan's teaching about forgiveness, and I even agree with it, I still wish I could be so merciful to someone who took almost everything I love from me.
My grandma was a psychiatrist and my grandfather was in the military -- as a musician. He could play all the woodwind and brass instruments equally well. He stationed, for a while, in Hungary -- in the town where I went to university, Szeged -- and he spoke fluent Hungarian. Which came very handy when my Mom took home her boyfriend (my Dad), who was Hungarian, an international student at the University of Saintpetersbourg (Russia). That is where my parents met.
On my father's side, there is even less information available. His mother died when he was 17, I never knew her. I only saw pictures of her and I know she was from where today Slovakia is. My paternal grandfather was a baker.
Overall, I think this qualifies as my conversion-project. I am going to research more, especially when I go home to Hungary for my upcoming (and last) IVF protocol. I am going to ask the congregation to give me its blessing and dedicate a prayer that I can finally, after so many years, have my only dream come true.

HD & BitTorrent
An earlier g-WH!Z entry this morning was just talking about this very thing: BitTorrent as a distribution medium for movies (or more specifically the iTunes Media Store). Then MicroPersuasion's Steve Rubel goes and scoops me 🙂 Actually, I'll be looking forward to his AdAge Digital installment.
This IS going to be the next big enabler in the space. If it wasn't BitTorrent it was going to be something like it (Akamai or something).

This album completes the trilogy of albums that Green Day has released in the past 4 months. And personally, they saved the best for last. The album is titled iTré! as a play on words with drummer Tré Cool's name and after iUno! and iDos!
iTré! Opens with "Brutal Love." This song rocks. It reminds me of "Restless Heart Syndrome" off of 21st Century Breakdown, and is a good first impression of this third album. Next up is "Missing You" which sounds like good old Green Day with power chords and palm muting just like old times. Third is "8th Avenue Serenade." This is definitely new Green Day, but still has their root elements in it. It's good new, not bad new. After that comes "Drama Queen." This one is slower with a nice acoustic intro and change of style with a piano solo in the middle which fits perfectly into the song followed closely by a nice guitar lick. Up fifth is "X-Kid." This one is average. It fits pretty standardly into any of the new albums. Number six is "Sex, Drugs, and Violence." I like this one cause of how the vocals and music harmonize.
To start the second half of the album is "A Little Boy Named Train." This song is good. Long time Green Day fans will appreciate it as well as new aspects. Eighth on the album comes "Amanda." I like this song as well. (like I said, this album surpasses both iUno! and iDos! ) Next up is "Walk Away" which is about facing problems and being the bigger person. It does sound like new Green Day but I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Tenth is "Dirty Rotten Bastards." It opens with Billie singing "Yeahhhhhhh" but with a lot of flourishes. It will be a good one in concert definitely. It sort of falls under the "American Eulogy" (21st Century Breakdown) category. It has a bunch of quick chord progressions and vocals meshed together into one song. It's Mike's song. There are so many bass solos and a pretty sweet guitar solo as well. I really like this one. Second to last is "99 Revolutions." The way that this song flows is particularly well, and the song is rather pleasing to auditory sense . It works. It's Green Day doing what they do best: making music. Lastly is "The Forgotten." This song is awesome it consists of just a piano and some orchestral backing like violins and cellos with Tré's drum keeping beat. Then the guitar comes in for a fitting solo.
This album is straightup kickass. It totally beats the crap out of both iUno! and iDos! (reviews for them are also on MD) It is just as good as 21st Century Breakdown (given, some people didn't like 21st ,but I did.) iTre! is a great album. I'm quite pleased that Green Day didn't disappoint with their trio of albums. I wasn't too stoked on iUno! or iDos!, but iTre! definitely made up for its predecessors' shortcomings. Hopefully Green Day will announce their new tour dates (because they cancelled their 2012 and 2013 shows due to front-man Billie Joe Armstrong's rehab.)

I had the 2011 Subaru Forester this week and I always enjoy Subaru products. It is easy to see why their sales continue to rise on a monthly basis. They are simply putting out some great products these days.
I had the 2011 Forester XT Touring package in Marine Blue Pearl, which is a beautiful color. Under the hood, the Forester has a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine putting out 170 horses. It is linked to a 4-speed automatic transmission.
Subaru is perhaps best known for their patented symmetrical all-wheel drive system which has made Subaru the choice of vehicles for those in snowy climates for over two decades. But the rest of America has discovered that the all-wheel drive system is also terrific for handling and performance. This is one of the reasons Subaru is on a roll with increased sales over the past few years.
The Touring package comes with an impressive array of standard features, including leather interior, panoramic moonroof, a great audio system, 10-way power driver's seat, and dual-zone climate control. In addition, you get high-intensity headlights, power windows and door locks, Bluetooth connectivity, and steering wheel controls.
Forester also comes with a long list of standard safety features, including front and side airbags, side airbag curtains, anti-lock brakes, tire pressure monitoring system, and 4-wheel disc brakes.
The interior of the Forester is really nice and the dash is well laid out for ease of use. The Forester rides very well, and handles superbly. It is not hard to see why Subaru is doing so well. To understand the value of a Subaru, and in particular the Forester, you really have to study the things you cannot see…primarily the all-wheel drive system which sets Forester apart from many of its competitors.
What I liked most: Driving dynamics that make it really fun
What I would change if I could: I would hook this engine to a six-speed transmission for better highway mileage.
MSRP as tested: $30,768.
Fuel Economy: Rated at 19 city/24 highway.
Forester in a few words: Capable and comfortable.

My mum recently showed me an old family recipe for a facial mask. My great great grandma used to mix parsley, sour cream, yogurt and oat flakes. The recipe is:
2 parts mixed parsley
1 part sour cream
1 part yogurt
1 part oat flakes
It's said to soothe and tone the skin really well. With a dash of salt, it would make a great dip too!

The girl called Yamazuka told.. First my ass and breast were greased with something sticky, then two dogs started licking me. Their rough tongues made me horny and I started moaning. Then I was made to lick dogs' cocks. One of the dogs came into my mouth and I felt the hot stream of salty sperm in my mouth. At the same time the 2nd dog came closer to my ass and I felt big cock coming into me. Mmmm, it was so nice.

Welcome to the 'New Somerset and Dorset Railway'
Our Aim:
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
mixed messages
(All 14.5.1985)
On the same weekend that huge strides were made in getting the S&D rebuilt, in the next door county (Devon) the council there is doing everything it can to perpetuate the 1970s, by claiming that the no-brainer restoration of the Barnstaple to Bideford line would not be economic. Pure drivel, and they know it. Restoration of the route will only cost 80 million pounds, and the line would be heavily used from day one. Bideford is way too large a town to be off the network in the 21st century and the original closure was a clear mistake. In fact if anything the line should be continued to Torrington and a light railway run across the bridge at Bideford to the main part of the town, giving Bideford stations on both sides of the Torridge.
I'm sure this crazy decision will be reversed and the 70s mentality quickly overcome by common sense and the rising cost of energy, but it does show that even in 2010 there are people in positions of power and responsibility that are completely stupid and out of touch. Let's hope we don't run into similar idiots in Somerset and Dorset as the S&D bursts back into life!
5 comments:
Didn't council officials also say that reopening Templecombe station 'wouldnt pay'? Trial opened for 3 years it is still open and thriving. And that was 20 years ago when oil was still cheap! I know one is a station and the other a railway but surely the principle is the same.

Couple of points;
a.In fairness to DCC,they have been pretty much supportive of the Tavistock project [which incidentally passed through the WDBC planning committee stage last week and has now been submitted to SoS for approval before examination in public at a later date-hope any change of government doesn't adversely affect the issue]and once that is hopefully up and running,then maybe they would give longer shrift to projects such as Bideford.
b.The projected cost of Tavistock -Bere Alston is £18 million for restoring 6 miles of railway.How on earth can Bideford-Barnstaple,which i believe is only 4 miles longer and with no major obstructions or civil engineering works as far as i'm aware,cost a projected £80m? Mystified by that one,any explanations?
- 8:30 pm
According to a couple of people I know Network Rail always quotes over the odds to restore railways. They reckon restoring the Portishead line would cost about £80 Million as well, and that's already opeb for freight.
Although in all fairness signalling is apparently a big problem with the infrastructure in place now not built with regards to expansion, making it rather difficult!

The leader of the State Senate says it's up to the governor to answer questions surrounding the delay in payments to the Solar City construction project in Buffalo.
The delay in state payments led to temporary pink slips being issued to dozens of carpenters and other tradesmen at the Solar City site because the contractors ran out of money. Once word of the layoffs surfaced, state officials responsible for the project responded quickly by finding a mechanism for releasing the $82 million in funding.
During an appearance at the state Republican convention in Buffalo late last week, Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan was asked about the controversy. Flanagan said Governor Cuomo and his administration are responsible for what's happening.
"When things are going swimmingly well, they'll take all the credit in the world. When things go wrong, the buck really stops at the governor's doorstep," Flanagan said.
Flanagan said the amount of money involved in the controversy could warrant having a conversation about it. He stopped short of saying whether he'll call for a legislative hearing.
Flanagan said the next step would be reaching out to members of the Western New York legislative delegation for their views.

"Have You Seen My 18 Wheeler?" is a series of picture books. I am working on Book #14, each with 19 different trucking firms. Book 1 started it all and includes a picture of the tractor and trailer from:
Central Refrigerated (Recently purchased by Swift Transportation)
Churchill Transportation
Conway Truckload (Recently changed to CFI for Contract Freighters, Inc.)
Dart Transit
deBoer Transportation
Halvor Motor Lines
Hirschbach Motor Lines
HO Wolding
J&R Schugel Trucking
John Veriga TRucking
Kennesaw Transportation
Panther Expedited Services
PTL (Paschall Truck Lines)
Southern Refrigerated Transport
Swift Transportation
Texas Star Express
Total Transportation of Mississippi
So, the idea is for your children to search for, spot, and keep track of these 18 wheelers on their next vacation.
If they like trucks, and if they are bored with the travel, or if the adult passenger is bored, it provides mile after mile of opportunities to look out the windows and look for something.
To order, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will send you as many copies as you need for $10 each, plus shipping. If you feel more comfortable, go to Amazon.com, type "Have You Seen My 18 Wheeler?" Vol. 1, and order from them for $15, plus shipping.
Thanks and good hunting.

Today I started picking away at the interior of the chest…been slow going because I'm not sure yet how I want to configure it, but I installed the divider for the saw till for starters. More stopping and staring than anything. I'm not sure yet if I want to put the dividers in it to hold each saw in position, or leave it open for future changes, all my saws have protectors over the toothline so there won't be any damage that way.
I also screwed the cleats on the bottom of the chest to raise it off the floor approx. 3/4″ away from any dampness, thanks to Chris and his ongoing basement reno for the scrap 2X4 I planed and used for the cleats.
Here's a pic of where I am so far…Jointer planes and shooting plane will go in the bottom of the chest along with my Stanley No.45 plow. Also my brace and canvas roll of augers, as well as my leather chisel roll and wood whacker.
On the other side the saws…a 28″ Shurly and Dietrich miter, a couple of Veritas dovetail saws and a rip filed Disston No.4 12″ backsaw. Also in the chest is a decidedly non vintage piece…a tensioned Nobex miter box saw with the optional Japanese Ikeda blade that…frankly, cuts like corn through a goose. And of course a copy of the classic ATC for your reading pleasure.
As far as the top floors, I haven't decided whether it's gonna be 2 or 3 sliding trays. Lots of winter left yet tho…

I'm looking for some opinions and experiences of chassis builders. I want to build a 25.1E legal double frame rail chome moly chassis. I wanted to buy a unwelded kit from Tim Mcamis, Jerry Bickel, Vanishing Point or someone else. I have never built a complete chassis like this but I belive I have enough fabrication skills to do it myself (given of couse of chassis is in kit form with instructions). I am a skilled TIG welder also and welding the CM tubing is no problem. I wanted to run Art Morrison's super strut package up front also. What I am shooting for is a B/Gas street car project with plenty of strength to go faster in the future, although the car would only be driven on weekends and to car shows. I would be building this in a stock 70' Challenger body (not a pro mod chopped car etc.) and I would be building this in my garage ( I'm just a normal low budget guy haha)
So I have a couple questions maybe some of you pros would be kind enough to help me out with. Who makes the best/easiest unwelded kits? Does a Chrome Moly chassis have to be stress relived? How hard is is to run struts on a seldomly driven street car? Would you talk me into building it or out if it? Any tips?
Thanks ahead of time,

EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State University basketball player Miles Bridges has been cleared to play after a Yahoo Sports article named him in a federal corruption case that involves some of the biggest programs in college basketball.
Yahoo Sports reported Friday, after obtaining federal documents related to the ongoing investigation of NCAA basketball violations, that the investigation targets at least 20 Division I programs and more than 25 players.

Here is a statement from MSU Interim Athletics Director Bill Beekman:
"After learning of the allegations in yesterday's Yahoo! Sports article, our compliance office conducted a thorough internal review. Michigan State presented its findings to the NCAA, and Miles Bridges has been cleared for competition moving forward, beginning Sunday at Wisconsin."
Related: Louisville vacating 2013 national basketball championship
Here's some of the Yahoo Sports report:
The documents tie some of the biggest names and programs in the sport to activity that appears to violate the NCAA's amateurism rules. This could end up casting a pall over the NCAA tournament because of eligibility issues. (NCAA officials declined a request for comment.) There's potential impermissible benefits and preferential treatment for players and families of players at Duke, North Carolina, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan State, USC, Alabama and a host of other schools. The documents link some of the sport's biggest current stars – Michigan State's Miles Bridges, Alabama's Collin Sexton and Duke's Wendell Carter – to specific potential extra benefits for either the athletes or their family members. The amounts tied to players in the case range from basic meals to tens of thousands of dollars.
Here is a statement from head MSU basketball coach Tom Izzo:
"We are aware of the report in Yahoo! Sports. While we will cooperate with any and all investigations, we have no reason to believe that I, any member of our staff or student-athlete did anything in violation of NCAA rules."
Here is a statement from MSU interim athletic director Bill Beekman:
"MSU is committed to a culture of NCAA compliance. We have proactively contacted the NCAA and Big Ten Conference. As Coach Izzo has stated, there is no evidence that he or anyone in his program, including student-athletes, did anything impermissible."
Here is a statement from MSU Associate Head Coach Dwayne Stephens:
"Throughout my career as a college basketball coach, I've been committed to following all NCAA rules, including during the recruiting process. Any insinuation to the contrary is false. I'm confident that I have not committed a violation."
The NCAA released a statement on the Yahoo report shortly after it was published:
"These allegations, if true, point to systematic failures that must be fixed and fixed now if we want college sports in America. Simply put, people who engage in this kind of behavior have no place in college sports. They are an affront to all those who play by the rules. Following the Southern District of New York's indictments last year, the NCAA Board of Governors and I formed the independent Commission on College Basketball, chaired by Condoleezza Rice, to provide recommendations on how to clean up the sport. With these latest allegations, it's clear this work is more important now than ever. The Board and I are completely committed to making transformational changes to the game and ensuring all involved in college basketball do so with integrity. We also will continue to cooperate with the efforts of federal prosecutors to identify and punish the unscrupulous parties seeking to exploit the system through criminal acts."

Hi, I know that this is a very "boring" question for this site but anyway I would appreciate thoughts and ideas. I hope to spend 10 nights on Evia. Really in need of a break and would like a small apartment/hotel room...just me...that is in almost on the beach...would love a swimming pool as well but so long as there is a nice stretch of beach with some shade that would be fine. I am seeing astronomical prices as it is end of July and into August and just thought I would see what comes about…
We have 15 nights in - Crete mainly - but we are fitting in 2 or 3 nights in Athens on our way back to the UK: our dates are the last week of September and first week in October.
I have now been searching for 2 days for a well recommended hotel in Athens probably up to about 150 Euro for a twin room and haven't found anything satisfactory (I realise Athens is expensive accommodation-wise!) - so - I would appreciate any personal recommendations please. The same for Heraklion and…
Hi, in 2008 I visited Santorini and Naxos in first half of SEP. I didn't book accommodation in advance as I heard you can get good deals from apartment owners as you step off the ferry in shoulder season. This worked out really well – got great apartments (sunny balcony, spacious, great view) for cheap (€30/night).
Is this still the case or have things changed in 10 years? My wife, 14 month baby and I are looking to visit Paros and Antiparos in first half of SEP this year. Approx 4 days on…
Need to know how much time to allot to cross border on foot, go thru border control, get to bus stop or station on Greek side for bus ride to Ioannina on July 16.
Need to know how to either buy bus tickets (2 each, one way) from Kakavia to Ioannina ahead of time, or that morning. We want to take the 11:45 AM bus on July 16. We must end up that eve in Kalambaka.
I plan to go from Sarande, Albania by taxi to the border town with Greece, Kakavia, on July 16. Several questions here:
How much time should I allot to cross border on foot, deal with paperwork, and get to bus stop (assuming there is one) or bus station in Kakavia, Greece to buy bus tickets, 1 way, 2 tickets, to Ioannnina- so we can catch the 11:45 bus?
I am unable to purchase bus tickets online, ahead of time, for July 16, 11:45 bus to Ioannina. Is there a way to do this to guarantee the 2 of…
Travelling from Naxos to Syros next month but stopping over in Paros to make the connection. Will be in Paros from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. - is there any Left luggage facility at the port and any suggestions as to how to spend the day - travellling with partner 10 year old twins and 6 year old.
Hi everybody. I will land in Mykonos alone the 11th august and i will remain alone until 26th. It's the peak and most expensive season so I cannot book on Booking or similar cause just very expensive things remained now.
Until 10 years ago it was normal to go without booking nearly everywhere even the 15th august; now i know in small islands it's impossible.....
Do you think I will find something at ports of Paros, Naxos and Siros with decent cost (40€ night)??
Thank you for answers
Hi all!
I will be in Heraklion, Crete, in early October.
Can anyone recommend a budget hotel in Heraklion, at less than 50Euros per night? I am a solo traveller.
Grateful for any recommendations and good experiences.

The weird one attracts your attention buy standing very close to you, so you watch your luggage, the nice one, standing behind us stole my wallet from the kneepocket of my cargopants, altough the pocket was closed with two buttons. I realised all this minutes later, after they got off the bus.
When we reported this at the police station, they gave us two…
Is the beginning of September a good time to hike the Corfu trail? How much planning is needed, and is it necessary to book accommodation in advance? I'm planning on staying for 8-10 days, and I'm in good shape.

New Martial World Order!
May 19, 2009
From one of my many books based on the topic of "Qin Na" or "Seizing and Taking".
Again, for those of you out there who are bent on the view that CKF ignores ground fighting, I think this book first published in the 30s, will give you another outlook.
In fact, the later days' Lee Ying Arn "Qin Na" book is based on this; almost technique by technique duplication.
And folks, this book, written in old style Mandarin, credits Shaolin and Wudang as the resources of these qin na skills.
Here again, I understand how some of you are of the persuasion that Shaolin's influence is overstated.
Geez, all these past Masters were wrong or lying …..
Including some Okinawa karate pioneers who said something like "Train diligently to enter the doors of Shaolin".
Maybe the whole thing is a "conspiracy" and now the Dan Browns of the "New Martial World Order" are rising to rebut old wisdom.
Maybe, maybe …….
Or maybe I should just go catch "Angels & Demons" and remember that in Hollywood "pigs can fly".

Hallo, all!
In a previous post, Kielbasa with Sauerkraut, I mentioned that I would love to make my own sauerkraut. Guess what i diiiiiiid…
WHA-BAM! Homemade sauerkraut! After this experience, I'm ready to go crazy with canning and pickling. This sauerkraut tastes way better than any other I've ever had. Plus, canning your own food is much cheaper than buying it from a store (especially in the long run).
Before I go further, I want to show you what happened at my first attempt at sauerkraut:
AH!! This is NOT okay.
I read that when you ferment cabbage, you have to allow some air to flow while blocking bacteria from entering your fermentation containers. DO NOT LOOSELY WRAP YOUR CONTAINERS IN PLASTIC WRAP LIKE I DID. DON'T DO IT. It smells awful, it looks awful, and you will have to perform a time-consuming process of disposal and febreeze-spraying.
To reiterate:
The cabbage at the bottom was the correct color because minimum air was introduced to it, while the majority of it spoiled. I had to throw all of it away and start over.
SO, here is the correct way to make crunchy, juicy and fresh homemade sauerkraut:
A whole cabbage makes a lot of sauerkraut, so you'll likely want to can it. Canning is a very easy process, but it's important to follow the process exactly. Properly canning keeps food long lasting and fresh until the seal is broken. You can not use jars that have already been opened. You must purchase new jars with new lids.
And that's it! Your very own homemade sauerkraut.
Fermenting allows your food to take on many flavors, so get creative. Sauerkraut can be spicy, mild, garlicy, etc. Pick your favorite seasoning and go with it!
Some other foods you can start canning:
Red Onion
Jalapenos, Bellpepper, Habanero
The list goes on, and on, and on..and you can make a million combinations (really, a million. I counted).
Next for me are pickles with dill, garlic and caraway. We'll see how it goes 🙂

"The science of today is the technology of tomorrow."
- Edward Teller
Humans have always toiled to become scientifically advanced enough to control the future. Currently, this endeavor is revolving around AUTONOMOUS CARS.
From the 1980s, with the introduction of computers, truly autonomous vehicles became a possibility. Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Bosch, Nissan, Renault, Toyota, the University of Parma, Oxford University and Google have all developed prototype vehicles since then. As of 2013, four U.S. states have passed laws permitting autonomous cars: Nevada, Florida, California, and Michigan. In Europe, cities in Belgium, France, Italy and the UK are planning to operate transport systems for driverless cars, and Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain have allowed testing robotic cars in traffic.
Google recently has developed an algorithm that could potentially let self-driving cars learn to drive in the same way that humans do, through experience. Google will test this Artificial Intelligence, used in video games, for driving games before moving onto the road. Google's self-driving cars have driven thousands of miles in California comparing its pre-installed map, built extensively, to what its sensors are seeing.[i] But building such maps for the entire country or the world is mountainously laborious needing regular updates. Thus the car should develop a higher level of intelligence so that it could simply scan roads in front of it, and teach itself how to drive anywhere without pre-loaded maps.
A plethora of benefits of autonomous cars, inter alia curbing traditional problems of human driven cars, include easily coordinated traffic at busy times, drastically reduced commuting times, better perception of environment by sensory technology than human senses causing lesser traffic accidents, duly managed speed limits for safer driving & shortened journey times, lesser stressful parking and difficult maneuvering, advantages for people having difficulties with driving, like the disabled, older citizens, and the very young, no need for drivers' licenses or driving tests, massive reduction in insurance premiums for car owners, efficient travel saving fuel and cutting costs, increased road capacities due to reduced need for safety gaps and reduction in car theft.
However, the formidable disadvantages encapsulate cars out of the price range of most ordinary people when generally introduced, reduction in jobs for drivers, even just a minor malfunction causing worse crashes than anything that human error might bring about, chances of dilemma for the police as to whose fault it is and whom to interact with in case of accidents or crimes, major privacy concerns due to reliance of the cars on the collection of location and user information, major security worry in case of hacking, certain problematic weather conditions hamstringing the laser sensors and cameras, challenges for robots in reading road signs, human behavior and hand signals, advantages for the terrorists for long range attacks, struggle to address ethical problems like choosing between safety of passerby and comfort of passengers.[ii]
Thus, it is clear that smart cars need a smarter level of intelligence to polish it advantages and diminish its drawbacks. Better protection from weather, more advanced signal sensor, highly encrypted personal details to avoid hacking, cars bearing special identity numbers paired with the owner to avoid mishandling, new legislation laid down to clarify the liabilities in case of mishaps, safety measures in case of system malfunctioning, creating employment before rendering the drivers jobless are few requisites that can be considered.
Lastly, it should always be kept in mind that machines are for the service of man, not vice versa. Artificial intelligence should always be supported by human intelligence so that they are USED NOT MISUSED.

The term "Christian anthropology" I believe comes from Trevor Cooling, and it is a great help to my thinking about how we lead a school, particularly a church school, or in fact any school where there is a concern for children that goes beyond just the numbers game – so therefore, I think, all schools.
Two conversations and two books have informed this piece, and it may not be finished in a single sitting, as there is much to explore, and to comment on. The fundamental conversation was in a review some years ago (2011 I think) of Amy Chua's book "The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother". In the piece, an older Chinese parent commented on the fact that in the west, children are perceived as sources of weakness which therefore needed protection, strong motherly care, listening to, nurturing; whereas in the east it was more the case (not exclusively) that children were regarded as sources of strength and family wealth and therefore high expectations could be loaded on them fearlessly, and that they could be expected to be strong enough to be asked to do several hours of violin practice (for instance) knowing that the parent knew that this was for their own good and one day their children would thank them.
The second conversation, a reflection of the first, is happening right now at Christ the Sower, as it is in many schools, and it is between those teachers who think that setting high expectations for all and expecting compliance is the best way to tackle issues of children's conduct and completion of learning, and those who pay close attention to the individual needs of children, taking care to reduce anxiety, supporting them over barriers to learning, working with the parents etc., so as to maximise the children's chances of learning and feeling safe and comfortable. The former might be seen as more outcome-centred (perhaps!), whilst the second is more child-centred (again, perhaps!).
Both of these conversations are of course mirrored further in the national conversation over testing – high expectations with testing regularly to check on progress on the one hand, and the more "child-centred/let kids be kids" approach on the other.
Like any cultural approach to a problem in society, neither of these approaches would have lasted as long as they both have, unless both were right, or nearly so. If one were wholly useless, we would have abandoned one in favour of the other permanently, and have the numbers to prove it. Neither side of the conversation has proved the point beyond all doubt, and therefore both have use. They are lenses through which we see children in schools, and we must be aware that these shifts in perspective have big political, financial and societal implications. There is an unfortunate parallel in the western political world between the Hayek/Friedman free market approach (perhaps philosophically more similar to the "children as sources of strength" argument) and the social democratic/Keynesian ideal (where the needs of the learner are of more concern than the measured successful outcome).
I would argue that we have started in the wrong place, and seen children through our own cultural lenses, recent history and societal prejudices rather than seeing them in a Christian anthropology, using the Christian doctrines of creation, the fall, and redemption.
In this anthropology, all children are created in the image of God, to bear His image and (eventually) to re-bear that image fully once more. Children thus have their creator God's creative instincts and abilities, His sources of strength, His abilities to be compassionate, wise, holy, loving, joyful, at peace, kind, patient, self-controlled, faithful and loyal – everything we need, in short, to build successful and kind societies that help one another flourish. The purpose of God's creation in humanity, in children, is effusive and delightful, seen by Adam in the garden of Eden, wholly at peace with the natural world, creative and strong, open and worshipful. Further, they are unique, and uniquely loved, specifically loved and specifically called to a purpose by the God whose image they bear, whether they acknowledge his lordship or not.
Secondly, children are placed in families, the great extended networks of close relatives that give security, love, opportunity, direction, guidance and (most importantly) a chance to fail and start again. It also gives them a place to receive and give love that has no purpose except the expression of unguarded affection for another. In Ps68 God says that he sets the lonely in families and the deepest bonds we create as a society are as nought compared with those that grow and are set between family members, purposed by God in his creation narrative and throughout history for our good. This too is part of a biblical anthropology – that people are created by God, to bear His image, in communities and families. At no point are they expected to be "rugged individuals" exercising the image of God on their own. The fact that the first biblical family came to be a family fully after exclusion from Eden reinforces the importance of God's purpose in them as a protector and sustainer of our societies. Those societies, such as early Sparta or Soviet society in the 1920s and 1930s, that rejected marriage and the family as a building block of the society it wanted to build, replacing it with the state, failed utterly at a deep psychological level as societies and in their impact on individual humans.
Further, children are endowed with the ability to make life choices and to choose to honour or to dishonour the image of God that is within them. When they dishonour that image, it always affects others in their community, family or school. This is sin. It is sin because it breaks the harmony and shalom that God purposed to be exercised by them for one another within family, community, school. I sense we do few favours either to children or to adults by insisting that something is right just because God says it is, nor the converse that God says something is wrong, so it is. Sin is measured by impact on relationships, on love, on self-regard or on society's flourishing. A boss in a factory that in his management depreciates the value that each worker feels for themselves and one another is sinning against them to the extent that he offends against the image of God in them. The fact that they then go out and get drunk and hit their partner as a result is also a sin, because they damage the image of God within themselves and those they love. This way of looking at sin – the damage we do to the created and holy image of God in ourselves and in others through our actions and words, is a helpful link between the traditional right-wing view of sin as being all about personal conduct, and the left-wing view that sees it as structural and being a function of a mismanaged society. Both impact the image of God in those affected as victims of sin.
This is also important because it leads directly to a further Christian anthropological view of the image-bearing human as capable of offering and receiving forgiveness. This is a critical issue, and as Miroslav Volf has shown in Exclusion and Embrace, (particularly Chapter 4), it is deeply counter-cultural and leads us directly to the issue of having to deal with God's grace. Until we see that God's grace is available for the healing and restoration of children who have broken relationships by their chosen actions, we have not come close to the heart of a Christian anthropology. Teaching children to take responsibility for their actions, asking forgiveness and then experiencing the freedom that comes with that unrestrained forgiveness from another and from God – this must be part of the way that we bring children up, and to the extent that we do not, we endow them with a limp and a skew in their walk that may not show in their bodies (it may actually!) but is a characteristic of a spirit that walks in unforgiveness.
I mentioned two books. The first is the wonderful short story by Karen Blixen called Babette's Feast, which it has been a thrill to read this week, along with some other, equally curious stories. If you know the story, or have seen the wonderful film of the same name, you will know this speech – otherwise it is a bit hard to explain. Essentially, the General in this story has many years ago fallen in love with and then left one of two conservative Lutheran Norwegian sisters whose home is the setting for a feast (in honour of the sisters' dead father) prepared by Babette, the cook of the two sisters. The general has returned after 30 years absence, and is the only person present who has tasted (at the Cafe Anglais in Paris) the food prepared in a former life by Babette, and presented for him again. During the meal he has a revelation of sorts, culminating in this speech:
"Man, my friends," said General Loewenhielm, "is frail and foolish. We have all of us been told that grace is to be found in the universe. But in our human foolishness and short-sightedness we imagine divine grace to be finite. For this reason we tremble . . . " Never till now had the General stated that he trembled; he was genuinely surprised and even shocked at hearing his own voice proclaim the fact. "We tremble before making our choice in life, and after having made it again tremble in fear of having chosen wrong. But the moment comes when our eyes are opened, and we see and realize that grace is infinite. Grace, my friends, demands nothing from us but that we shall await it with confidence and acknowledge it in gratitude. Grace, brothers, makes no conditions and singles out none of us in particular; grace takes us all to its bosom and proclaims general amnesty. See! that which we have chosen is given us, and that which we have refused is, also and at the same tirne, granted us. Ay, that which we have rejected is poured upon us abundantly. For mercy and truth have met together, and righteousness and bliss have kissed one another!"
It seems to me that here we have an insight into the expansiveness of grace – what Brennan Manning called "the furious longing of God" – that reaches everyone at every stage of their lives. Somehow this too is part of a Christian anthropology, and we must find a home for this in our thinking. We live in a world with walls, and find it hard to see that Jesus lives in a world where walls provide no barrier.
I want to publish this now, before it gets too long. The second book – Wendell Berry's The Way of Ignorance (2005) – will just have to wait a bit.

The Ninja Turtle has a Difficulty Metre for Mondays. It looks like this:
So imagine then, having to work through an inbox clogged full of emails, with some of them featuring articles like this:
It's as if even the internet knows that she can't get her engine started. It's even like, the internet is more in tune with Turtle's feelings than GodzillaPin is…
Having looked through that list, the Ninja Turtle has concluded that with the exception of #23, the rest of it was frankly not going to work. She doesn't do yoga, she doesn't bowl, and she doesn't have Facebook to be "chewed out" on for not wanting to run. And much as she likes to think some of those suggested mind games would trick her into getting started, a little part of the Turtle-y brain is sprawled on a mental couch, feet up on the coffee table, slowly chewing cud and drawling "Whaddaya take me for?"
So, having returned back to Metz from the village way past midnight last night, the Turtle found herself needing a stronger-than-usual kick up the arse to begin this morning. The fact that she's still sick and needs an obscene amount of sleep also means less hours in a day to get all her things done. Don't even mention the lack of sunlight forecasted for the next 6 days…
Finally, the only way to begin was to focus on one single task on the To-Do list, and say "that's all you'll have to do today, the rest can really wait".
And once that first task was out of the way, she gave herself a pat on the back and a steaming mug of coffee, and said "all right then, let's do just one more."
Baby steps. This, my friends, is how Monday is tackled by the Ninja Turtle.
