Obsessive Wrigley Renovation Watch: Digging Into the Rooftop/City Lawsuit
A few days ago, after weeks of theoretical negotiation (which, in turn, came after the Chicago Cubs received approval from the Landmarks Commission to move forward with a renovation of Wrigley Field that included seven outfield signs), some of the rooftops around the outfield at Wrigley filed suit against the City of Chicago and the Landmarks Commission, challenging the approval of the Wrigley renovations.
Specifically, they challenge the Commission's decision to approve the seven outfield signs and expansion of the bleachers, which the rooftops contend are not in the spirit of Wrigley's landmark designation. In order to claim a stake in that decision – at a surface level, why would it be the rooftops' business what the Landmarks Commission decides about someone else's building? – the rooftops have pointed to their contract with the Chicago Cubs, which they claim gives them a property right in what happens to Wrigley (i.e., unobstructed views into Wrigley in exchange for 17% of revenues).
I took a look at the complaint – that's what you file to start a lawsuit – which you can see here at the Tribune, among other places, and I've got some thoughts to offer about the suit, and the implications. This could prove to be a fairly complicated and nuanced fight – but, hey, disputes don't usually reach litigation if they're cut and dried.
Caveats: (1) I haven't been a practicing attorney for a little over three years now, and, even if I were, nothing I'd offer you here is anything more than the modestly educated thoughts of someone who previously had experience with these kinds of lawsuits (presented, where appropriate, in lay terms, so you lawyers and law students, don't blast me for the informal language); (2) were I working on responding in a case like this, I would have weeks to dig in on every argument, document, statute, administrative rule, piece of case law, etc. This ain't that. I often found in my practicing days that your initial take on a complaint – and that's all I can provide you here – is completely wrong once you've spent a substantial amount of time running down angles.
All right, then. Miscellaneous thoughts …
- The gist of the suit is this: the rooftops contend that the outfield views at Wrigley (into the city, the lake, etc., including seeing the rooftop buildings) is wrapped up in the landmark designation, and approving seven signs in that outfield was an abdication of the Landmark Commission's duty to protect the landmark. And, because the rooftops say they have a property right in what happens at Wrigley, they claim the Commission's decision was made without due process to the rooftops. Among other things, they seek a reversal of the Commission's decision and an injunction that would prevent the Cubs from getting the permits necessary to construct the outfield signage.
- The Cubs, you'll note, are not named as a defendant. While understandable – the rooftops' stated beef, at this point, is only with the City and Commission, because it's their decision that imperils the rooftops (so they allege) – it's problematic not to have the Cubs in the case. Without getting too legal on you, there are rules about having "indispensable parties" included in lawsuits that could impact their rights. Here, it seems unfair to exclude the Cubs from litigating (if they want to), given that the entire predicate for the rooftops' asserted property right is their agreement with the Cubs. You can't really determine that the rooftops have had a property interest impaired without due process unless you first determine, pursuant to the contract, that the rooftops do have a property interest with respect to the planned renovation. Essentially, that's litigating the terms of the contract, and I don't see how that can fairly be achieved without the Cubs' involvement.
- As you may recall, the Cubs/rooftop contract is subject to a mandatory arbitration provision (in essence, the parties agreed in advance that if they were going to fight about the contract, they would fight via an arbitrator, rather than a lawsuit). If the Cubs are pulled into the case, they would almost certainly argue that the court doesn't have jurisdiction to pass upon the contract. In that way, this suit looks a bit like an attempt by the rooftops to get a court – rather than an arbitrator – to analyze the contract and determine the Cubs/rooftops' rights. Might as well try, I suppose, if the rooftops were really opposed to arbitration. All that said, because it seems fundamentally unfair to litigate the terms of the contract without one of the parties to the contract involved in the litigation, I can't see this suit going forward, as it is presented, without the Cubs involved. And if the Cubs are involved, the arbitration provision becomes an issue. There are also some issues with respect to whether the rooftops are jumping the gun on challenging the Commission decision before the Cubs actually start the process of construction ("ripeness"), and whether the rooftops have standing. In other words … it seems like the outset of this suit is going to involve a whole lot of procedural wrangling.
- I don't have a robust understand of the standard for a court reviewing the substance of an administrative decision in Illinois. But, generally speaking, it's hard to see a court substituting its judgment of what constitutes permissible changes to a landmark for the (unanimous) judgment of the administrative body charged with doing that very thing.
- One element that factors prominently into the rooftops' argument is whether they were given "due process" in the City/Commission's decision to approve the outfield changes at Wrigley Field. The rooftops did have an opportunity to present at the Commission's hearing, though it was brief. Including them more beyond that would have required the Commission determining that the rooftops did have a property right in what happens at Wrigley (which, in turn, would require serious battling about the terms in the contract). That feels a little outside the scope of the Commission's ambit, and might more appropriately have been challenged before the Commission rendered its decision. Still, that was a tough spot for the rooftops to be in, particularly when you consider that negotiations were ongoing and an agreement was always possible. This is easily the most complicated layer of this fight.
- The rooftops go to great lengths to cite the view of townhomes as part of the landmark character at Wrigley, but I'm not sure that's not an argument that cuts both ways – do the rooftops now resemble the buildings that gave the original views that character? I'd argue there's still character – some people find it cool to see all those seats and people on the rooftops – but it's a very different view, with respect to the rooftop buildings, than it was back in 2000.
- (Interesting aside: the rooftops allege that, after the Cubs received approval for seven signs, the team used that as leverage to ask the rooftops to sell to them at "a fraction" of the actual value of the buildings/businesses, lest they see their businesses destroyed by the signs. Again, that's the rooftops' allegation.)
- Keep in mind, if you decide to read the lawsuit for yourself: parties will always state their arguments/contentions in the boldest fashion possible. Both sides. It's just the way litigation works. So don't be swayed by the aggressiveness of any particular language in this complaint, or in any responses from the City (or Cubs, if they get involved).
- Generally-speaking, parties have 30 days to "answer" a complaint, but that can be extended, and, in significant litigation like this, there is typically a bout of motions (first, a motion to dismiss, then a response from the other side, then a reply from the moving side), which can take several weeks. In this case, depending on how the Cubs are viewed – i.e., whether they are a required party – that could stretch even further. That is all to say, it could be a very long time before this case even proceeds to the next step (which is, itself, a very early step in the process – there is lengthy discovery, more motions practice, pre-trial procedures, pre-trial motions, trial, post-trial motions, and appeals before you can say a case is concluded (this sometimes takes a year or (much) longer)). Typically, however, parties engage in court-mandated (or suggested) settlement negotiations/conferences before a case actually proceeds to trial. Still, even if the sides use this lawsuit as a jumpstart to further negotiations, that can take a long time, too.
- I've reached out to the Cubs for comment on the lawsuit and am awaiting a response. I've seen other writers saying that the Cubs still plan to proceed with the rest of the renovation (for example, starting work on the plaza and subterranean clubhouse) after this season, the lawsuit notwithstanding. Until I hear that directly from the Cubs, however, I won't say much on the lawsuit's impact to the time line here. Given that the lawsuit challenges the very approval of the renovation plan, I have concerns on the time-based impact of the lawsuit. As I said, I will await comment before jumping to any conclusions.

This Is The Story Of 'Huntsman: The Orphanage' As Told By Grimhaven's Troubled Caretaker
Jasper Croad is the caretaker at the Grimhaven Orphanage where twelve orphans mysteriously disappeared back in 1897. Understandably, this has had a pretty significant impact on the man's psyche, as he holds himself responsible for the children's disappearance. The orphans were taken by the Huntsman, a creature that shares some of the traits of the Slenderman in that he has a mean sense of style and enjoys taking things that don't belong to him.
Huntsman: The Orphanage is one of the more promising takes on the budding Slenderman subgenre. One of the things I enjoy most about these games is they don't rely on blood, gore, and violence to be scary. Don't get me wrong, I love those things too, but it's nice to get a brief reprieve from all that. Listen to Croad's story after the break!
There's some fucking fantastic voice work in that video. Hopefully that's just a small taste of what the Huntsman will bring with it when it releases later this year. You can help it get greenlit on Steam here.

GREENFIELD – Police are trying a new way to reach out to residents and give them a better idea of what the day in the life of an officer is all about.
At the start of the second shift on Sunday, Lt. William Gordon signed onto to the Greenfield Police Twitter account and started sending out messages describing the minute-by-minute duties of Officer Jason Haskins, a 7-year-veteran of the force.
"It is a new technology for us and we are trying to be a part of it," he said.
Greenfield Police already has a Facebook Page where officers post a variety of information including arrest reports and public service announcements. The Department recently also started putting announcements out on Twitter.
The Tweet-Along started with the roll call, held every day at 2:50 p.m. before officers on the second shift hit the streets. It also showed the equipment used daily and a brief test of one of the Tasar guns, which is done before every shift. It is to end at 7 p.m.
During the feed, Gordon is posting photographs and information about what Haskins is doing. He is also following the scanner and including information about what other officers are also doing.
"It is a way to have another connection with our community. It is kind of a ride along people can do in the safety of their own homes and in the air conditioning," Gordon said.
Gordon said so far his favorite part of the experiment is being able to answer questions from the public.
After showing a radar stop, one person asked if police have limitations on where they can use radar to catch speeders. The answer is they can go anywhere as long as it is a public way.
Another person wanted to know if the bulletproof vests officers wear are hot, especially on a day like humid day like Sunday. The answer is they are very heavy and on a warm day most officers have salt stains on their T-shirts when they take the vests off at the end of a shift. Greenfield Police are required to wear the vests, Gordon said.
"I can get information to people that they want to know. I can lecture all day but I've been a police officer for 20 years so my perception is different than someone's who has never been in a cruiser," he said.
Greenfield Police Chief Robert H. Haigh Jr. proposed rolling out the Tweet-Along on Sunday afternoon because it is typically a quieter shift. Gordon said he is relatively new to posting on Twitter so a slower-paced day gave him a chance to figure things out when there is less chaos.
People have the perception that police just drive around patrolling. This gives them a chance to see what officers do. Even on a quiet day they go from call-to-call, Gordon said.
Some of the incidents included in the posts are about deliveries of summons, traffic stops with a warning given, a $185 ticket for possession of marijuana, a minor car accident and a breaking-and-entering call. One of the calls he only Tweeted a small bit of information since the case is under investigation and some details have to stay confidential.
Gordon also mixed some humor into the blog. Before he rolled out the Tweet-Along, he posted a couple of video clips from 80s police shows CHiPS and Hill Street Blues. He also posted a photo of a Dunkin' Donuts drink with the caption "must stay hydrated."
He also posted some fun facts such as: Police never slam their doors to give them the element of stealth.

Woman reunited with birth mother after 34 years thanks to Facebook
Minnesota woman has been reunited with her birth mother after posting an appeal for help finding her on Facebook.
Adopted Kaye-Madonna Hindes, 34, decided to track down her mother after she was diagnosed with anal precancer having already battled cervical cancer.
She posted an appeal on the social network looking for 'Aimée from Oak Park, Illinois in 1981' along with a photo and letter written by her mother.
It took just two hours for her birth mother, Aimée Sordelli, to get in touch with her and they arranged a reunion at Minneapolis St Paul International Airport on July 22.
Ms Sordelli told ABC News she received a message about the Facebook appeal and wrote back to Ms Hindes: "I think I'm the woman you're looking for."
Ms Hindes, a keynote speaker and online media expert, posted a letter written by her parents in 1981 that she had received through an adoption agency.
"We really didn't know what to say in this letter, but we will try our best to make it come out right," it said.
"We placed you up for adoption not because we didn't love you but because we did love you. We wanted to make sure you have the best life possible.
"But at this point in time, neither one of us are capable of doing so."
As well as sharing the letter, Ms Hindes wrote: "It took me 34 years to get the courage to start the process. I toiled and waited for the perfect time. Exactly 12 minutes after receiving your photo from the adoption agency, I knew we had to meet. Perfectly-planned impatience - that's me.
"I make assumptions here, hoping that you are alive and healthy. I'm hoping you are open to a ridiculously-long phone call, or maybe just coffee or dinner - wherever you are."
After their emotional reunion she added in another post: "I am so thankful for the love and shares and encouragement. I have such a circle of warmth that I am forever grateful for. I hope that this story and message resonates with other adopted children and encourages people to connect, grow and LOVE."
Meanwhile, this lucky man has been reunited with wedding ring he dropped in a harbour six years ago.

Try a Subject search in MARQCAT on the name of a country combined with one of the following four categories:
politics and government
social life and customs
foreign relations
History is a narrower term for the Library of Congress than it is for most historians. It tends to be wars and revolutions. All four categories together encompass what historians usually mean by history.
Follow these steps:
1. Go to the MARQCAT Box immediately below.
2. Click on the dropdown arrow by the window on the left and select Subject.
3. In the window on the right enter the name of a country, such as mexico, followed by one of the four other terms noted above, for example: mexico history.
4. Click on Submit.
Refine your search by exploring the subject headings under your topic. If you use the category foreign relations, you can refine your search by putting in a second country, for example: mexico foreign relations united states. If you reverse the order of the countries--united states foreign relations mexico--you get books from another perspective.

Juilliard Drama offers a wide variety of performance opportunities for first-year through fourth-year acting students.
Performance Opportunities
First and Second Years
Throughout the first and second years of actor training, students are cast in plays and rehearse them under the guidance of professional staff or guest directors. Plays are selected to challenge students in a variety of increasingly demanding ways. The rehearsal projects are exercises for exploring an actor's process and are not aimed toward performance results.
Casting is determined by the needs of the training, rather than the demands of the play. The projects are with only basic rehearsal clothes, props, and furniture, and are shared with an invited audience from the Juilliard community. These projects serve as yardsticks for measuring the degree to which the student is able to apply and integrate what has been learned in the various classes.
Third Year
In the third year, play projects continue to be an integral part of the training, but shift from the classroom to a small studio theater with the addition of modest, professionally designed costumes, scenery, and lighting as well as makeup and, where appropriate, music and sound effects. Six productions are mounted, including a two-play repertory and ensemble project in the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Drama Studio, a musical cabaret performance in the Rosemary and Meredith Willson Theater, and two Shakespeare plays performed in repertory at the end of the school year in the Stephanie P. McClelland Drama Theater. All third-year productions are open to an invited public audience.
Fourth Year
The fourth year begins with a Playwrights Festival featuring three new plays written by current and alumni playwrights. Following the festival, three plays in a broad range of periods and styles are given full-scale productions for the general public.
A December Playwrights workshop presents fully staged, script-in-hand works by current playwrights-in-residence. In February, students perform a combination of three classical and contemporary works in repertory, directed by professional guest directors.
The year culminates with an evening of scenes presented to members of the industry in New York and Los Angeles. Beforehand, students participate in a three-day retreat which gives them the opportunity to reflect on their individual and collective journeys as they move out into the profession and the world.

Moving Women Leaders Awards Event
Inspires Unity Toward Transportation Excellence
LONG BEACH, CALIF. -- More than 130 Southern California people gathered to salute six leading transportation officials making a difference at the premier Women Leaders of Southern California Transportation Awards on March 22, 2016.
The special awards program at the Grand Long Beach Event also commemorated national Women's History Month, according to Gwendolen Gray, president of the Southern California Regional Chapter of the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO).
"We're excited to honor extraordinary women leaders whose public service contributions have significantly impacted the surrounding communities and the transportation industry," Gray said.
The inaugural awards were presented to the following individuals:
Distinguished Society
Lifetime Achievement Award
Honorable Hilda Solis, Supervisor, 1st District,
Los Angeles County and L.A. Metro Board Chair
Distinguished Transportation
Lifetime Achievement Award
Leilia Bailey-Leahy, Deputy General Manager of Operations
Excellence in Diversity
& Inclusion Leadership Award
Gwiin Correa, Chief Equal Employment Opportunity
California Department of Transportation, District 7
Outstanding Transportation
Executive Leadership Awards
Debra Johnson, Deputy Chief Executive Officer
Long Beach Transit
Beth McCormick, General Manager, Transit
Orange County Transportation Authority
Stephanie Wiggins, Deputy Chief Executive Officer
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority
During their remarks, award recipients credited their success to other women whose sacrifice and dedication paved the way for continued service and leadership excellence – even during turbulent and challenging times.
"No matter what your industry, no matter what your race, there are still challenges. But we as women, we bring as much to the table as anyone else," said Bailey-Leahy, a pioneer in the transit industry when she became the first female post-World War II bus driver. "I know that breaking into any industry that had been almost completely male-orientated is a very, very difficult task."
During her acceptance speech, Correa took an opportunity to told a story about the care and consideration that First Lady Michelle Obama received when she met Nancy Reagan who shared helpful woman-to-woman advice. It's that reliance on counsel from other women that has helped Correa succeed.
In a state rich with diversity, Correa understands the importance of inclusion and cultural awareness. She recognizes "the need for action that must be taken in order to ensure a more welcoming environment within the transportation industry and neighboring communities."
Correa works with a small team to plan events and execute programs that introduce different cultures to each other, empowering them to embrace and celebrate their differences.
"It's all about the people. It's about our employees, but it's also about the public," said the Caltrans executive with more than 20 years of equal rights, training and public speaking experience.
Standing on the shoulders of great women who spearheaded equal-opportunity changes in transportation before her, Correa is also leaving her mark.
"We are ordinary people, but we're doing some phenomenal things at Caltrans to make changes in terms of equal opportunity and civil rights," Correa said.
During her acceptance speech, McCormick also shared her gratitude of the mentoring she received that led to her participation in COMTO.
As a way to give back, McCormick is highly focused on mentoring young people and mentoring women in the transportation industry.
"We mentor a lot of people, and I love that part of my job. It's really the most fun … but you can't do it alone," said McCormick, whose wealth of experience spans from her 30 loyal years in the transportation industry from helping to start the Metrolink service in Orange County to the development of a paratransit program. "Mentoring gives you an opportunity to have that one-on-one time with people who are exactly where you were 30 years ago."
During the event, a table of women transportation veterans from L.A. Metro recognized younger professionals seated at an adjacent table and vowed to continue to provide mentorship to help emerging professionals assume future leadership positions.
Gray hopes that the new awards program will sow the seeds for future generations of transportation leaders to come.
"The overriding factor of this year's awardees is a demonstrated commitment to advancing and strengthening our nation's transportation infrastructure across their diverse areas of influence and affiliations," said Gwendolen Gray, COMTO Southern California Regional President. "We are proud to host an event recognizing these amazing women, and we are thankful for all they've done and all they continue to do."
With over 1,700 members, COMTO's mission is to ensure a level playing field for minority individuals and business on the transportation industry through advocacy and information sharing.
"The inspiring afternoon highlighted the work, dedication and passion of these six incredible individuals along with all individuals who are improving transportation today for generations to come," Gray concluded. "We are grateful for these leaders, sponsors and volunteers for making the inaugural awards event a resounding success that touched all of us and inspired us to strive to be better and pave the way for future generations of leaders."
On behalf of the Southern California chapter of the Conference of Minority Transportation Officiais (COMTO) I would like to extend greetings to you and welcome you to our website.
It is my hope that after you peruse our website you come away with information that is relevant to what you were seeking or that we have provided information that referred you to a relevant source.
Esteemed Greetings and Welcome to Southern California!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, toss the tomatoes in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast until soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the tomatoes to a food processor and process until smooth. Strain, pressing against the solids with a wooden spoon to extract as much pulp and juice as possible.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until almost smoking, and saute the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the tomato puree, cider vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and honey, and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 20 minutes. May be refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days.

Nothing is sacred in music, including sacred music or music that seems spiritual. Even Beethoven's inspiring Symphony No. 9 (Choral), opening the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's Summerfest season tonight, was once rapped for its unorthodox choral ending.
Was Beethoven's vocal climax set to Schiller's poem "Ode to Joy" a mistake, a bad accident, a revolutionary gimmick or a stroke of genius? One Boston writer earlier in the century called the end "vocal hurry-scurry and shouting . . . assailing ears and nerves . . . (making the chorus) an irritated kennel." Though the 1824 Vienna premiere was a success, the writer was not alone.
But Wagner's verdict praising its "pure and lasting humanity" proved the popular and enduring one, not the least because the piece was revolutionary. The lengthy period of 11 years between the Symphony No. 8 and the choral symphony showed a changed Beethoven -- much in the way Verdi matured with "Otello" and "Falstaff," profiting from the 16 years since the opera "Aida."

With one week to go, things are finally falling into place. We've got more than a dozen sponsors and donors, and although attendance figures will likely be a little short of initial expectations, we've got a real shot at actually breaking even.
We held a fundraiser this week at the same venue where our Friday social will be–not sure yet how much it netted us, but it all counts. We should have 50 or so people there.
We're expecting over 120 people for Saturday's event–about one-third of the total number of classmates that we've found. Unfortunately, even as we find people, we find a few more that we overlooked.
I've also learned about a group of military people that's meeting the following day. I hope to talk with them too, as they might be able to help locate some of the last few classmates, several of whom likely went into the service after high school.
I've decided that I should keep looking for those last remaining people even after the reunion, since we'll have to do the same thing all over again five years from now.

Troopsof Delta Force bust terrororist hideout in Kishtwar
The sustained joint efforts of Security Forces and JKP to deny terrorists in Kishtwar district an opportunity to revive militancy led to unearthing a cache of weapons and ammunition from a hideout near the remote area of Kasiyan in Kishtwar district today. This cache had the potential to be utilised in abetting terrorist activity in the region especially during the holy month of Ramzan and the forthcoming Machel Yatra.
The recovered arms and ammunition was a result of information provided by a reliable local source of area which was acted upon by a joint team of troops of Delta Force located at Jangalwar alongwith Kishtwar Police. The deliberate search of the area of 48 hours amidst thick vegetation and in poor weather conditions led to the recovery of one AK-56 Rifle with three magazines, two Pistols with two magazines, one under Barrel Grenade launcher, 423 rounds of AK-47 ammunition, 20 rounds of Pistol ammunition, nine Under Barrel Grenade launcher Grenades, 13 Hand Grenades and two Kenwood Radio Sets.
Major General AS Rawat, General Officer Commanding, Delta Force complimented the efforts and said, "This recovery is indeed a major blow to the inimical elements and those harboring terrorist activities in the district which reinforces Security Force's positive control in the hinterland of Kishtwar".

Alcoholics Anonymous is a Twelve Step Fellowship dedicated to helping anyone suffering because of their drinking. The Twelve Step programme is the suggested format for recovery from alcoholism and its effects.
AA's Twelve Steps are a group of principles, spiritual in their nature, which, if practiced as a way of life, can expel the obsession to drink and enable the sufferer to become happily and usefully whole.
AA's Twelve Traditions apply to the life of the Fellowship itself. They outline the means by which AA maintains its unity and relates itself to the world about it, the way it lives and grows.
There are approximately 850 AA Groups in Ireland with an estimated 12,000 AA members. AA Meetings are held nationwide.
Literature on the AA programme is available from our General Service Office.

|So to say this week was a good one is an understatement. Memorial Day Weekend is usually the kickoff of off the charts fishing. Well the week leading up to this weekend was red hot. The caddis have been thick all week and the fish have been all over them, with pupa and larval forms taking the bulk of the fish with some surface fish in the evenings. All kinds of bugs are showing their faces now and the trout are in pretty much any water you can imagine. Weighted nymphs, wet flies and the such have been working well and it's been a week of bent rods and big smiles. Enjoy the photos, and have a happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend.......

Germany Time!
Most Helpful Girl
beer and their super perfectionist attitude while working
and of course engineering , especially automotive
media.caranddriver.com/.../...457435-s-429x262.jpg42|20|0THIS IS NOT RELEVANT ANYMORE
I can no longer call myself a car guy. ;(
- Show AllShow Less
Yes, shiny, sexy.. What a body ;p lol
Most Helpful Guy
I think of a German girl that I kind of know that lives there.
I think of my German tutor I had at university that had the most awesome sense of humour ever. He is the kind of guy that is completely chilled out, so much so he can laugh at jokes made in fun about Germany. He gets on with students well and would even bend the universities rules for us. Many of us students thought he was awesome and become Facebook friends with him.
I think of Germany as being a country that has a high rate of people smoking cigarettes, I am not sure how true this figure is but I heard it is around 40% of the population.
I also think of Germany as the place to go if you are into engineering and want good pay.
I also think of the world's best power tools such as chainsaws, weed-eaters etc etc.
I also think of Oktoberfest and the autobahns as well as a great public transport system.
I also think of the German sausages such as the Bratwurst. I also think of some of the best beers in the world.
I also think of this video of these drunk Germans cheering at this poor woman trying to her car into the car park.

One of two suspects in a disturbing sexual assault case in Eau Claire loses his appeal. John Bullock and Damonta Jones were convicted of holding a woman down and sexually assaulting her with a snake.
Bullock got 25-years in prison and Jones got 35 years. Both men appealed their convictions and sentences.
On Wednesday the state court of appeals
rejected Bullock's contention that his lawyer was ineffective and that
he did not get a fair trial. Jones' appeal is still pending.

I thought that now, after being in my Midori for well over 4 Months, would be a good time to show you how my setup and styles have changed! As with most of my posts, this is an image heavy one so my advice would be to snuggle up, get a drink and enjoy! Excuse some of the washed out photos! Lighting was poor and it was the best I could do!
Links to all the items I use are at the bottom and as always comment below if you have any questions!
As soon as you open my Midori up, you'll notice I have a pocket. I saw that Jessica for Pretty Prints and Paper has used the front pouch as a dashboard and made her own watercolour quote. I loved that idea so much that I grabbed by Tombow's, my favourite quote and went to town. This is the finished result and I must say that its perfect. It's such a nice reminder and great inspiration when I open my planner at start the day!
The back of the pocket has three credit card holders. I use these to house my sticky notes, spare book darts and then any other paper clips in a small brown pouch. I like to keep these close to the front so If I need a sticky note, I can grab one and go!
Following my pocket is my first notebook. These notebooks are from a wonderfully talented lady called Keeley from Travellers Times on Etsy – they're nice thick smooth paper which I've never had much of an issue with in regards to bleed through, ghosting or anything.. even with fountain pens!
This first notebook is my future log. I do things a little differently to save me a bit or time/rework. As I'm using the bullet journal system in a TN, it made most sense to me to have the future log as an longstanding notebook which would stay in the TN until it ran out of pages and then use another notebook for my monthly/weekly/daily pages – so that's exactly what I did!
I just have month after month rolling in this notebook. Nothing else. I use the 'normal' bullet Journal style monthly overview as this just works well enough for me without having to complicate it. I just keep a book dart on the month I'm on for easy flipping!
Next up is my second notebook and this is the home for those monthly/weekly/daily pages I mentioned. I also house my monthly bill tracker and brain sweep and also my weekly habit tracker and meal plan. It's an all in one spot for all my planner needs!
My page layouts have evolved over time but I always like to go for something that's easy, simple and fast to do and won't have me spending hours setting up one weeks pages or even one day! I like to write in the same coloured pen, again for ease and I have a simple symbol/signifiers system which allows me to spot uncompleted tasks from events and those that I've already done.
The main way my pages have changed is the way I write, my 'font' as such. I usually use the fake calligraphic style above but I wanted to mix it up and try new styles out so I ended up with the below. Same information, same symbols/signifiers and same pen.. just a new layout! I have added a new spot for appointments to make them really stand out, but I'm not sure on wether I'm keeping it or wether it just one step too many!
Finally, I have my TN pencil board and the back of the pouch, the zip compartment.
The pencil board is so helpful when you get past the spine of a notebook and the page just wont sit straight or if my surface isn't flat – plus, I love the new 10th anniversary ones too as the colour of them is so punchy! As for the zipper pouch I keep scraps of paper for notes, money calculations and any notes I need to write up and transfer into my Malden safely tucked away in here.
And I think that's about it for the latest setup! Not to much going on, but just how I like it. Simple!
Hope you enjoyed this blog and see you soon!

Spring 2009 Issue
Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Has the Holiday Spirit
Members of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee pose with the 10 Christmas bikes they were able to secure for kids in the H.A.N.D.Y. program December 13, 2008.
The Barry University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) hosted their annual holiday party; the event benefited H.A.N.D.Y (Helping Abused Neglected Disadvantaged Youth).
The student-athletes presented more than 150 gifts to 50 children from the program. They also coordinated activities such as basketball, volleyball, ping pong and jump rope and even brought Santa in from the North Pole to help with the toy distribution.
The SAAC also assisted with the Handlebars for the Holidays program on December 13 at Lockhart Stadium. The event was sponsored by Associated Builders and Contractors, and SAAC was able to secure 10 bikes for children in the H.A.N.D.Y. program.

Maryland's capital, Annapolis, is home to the United States Naval Academy, the oldest state house in the nation and many historical meetings before and after the American Revolution. This picturesque city sits on the mouth of the Severn River, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. It's also home to the small St. John's college, making this corner of the Baltimore-Washington metro area a prime all-ages destination for dining, culture and sightseeing.
There are many great things to do here in such a small area: history buffs will appreciate a tour of the Maryland State House, where the Continental Congress met in 1783 to end the Revolutionary War. There's also the William Paca House and Garden, a Georgian mansion in the center of town that has two acres of flora and fauna perfect for an impromptu photo shoot. Visit the Banneker-Douglass Museum (inside of an old Episcopal church) to absorb crucial Maryland African-American history, or the Naval Academy Museum, which is full of ship replicas and displays of Revolutionary War battlefields.
There's always the adjacent big cities of Baltimore and DC, but if you're looking for a low-key jaunt, think of getting out into nature at Blackwater National Refuge south on Highway 50. There, you may find birds like owls, herons and even bald eagles, and it's right next to the significant Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Park (and monument). About an hour north in Chestertown, Cassinelli Winery & Vineyards has a wide selection of not only wine and cider, but house-made apple brandy, corn whiskey, gin and vodka.
Annapolis isn't known for having distinct neighborhoods, but you're likely to find rentals in the heart of town next to the Naval Academy and the Annapolis Harbour. There are plenty of historic homes and townhouses near diverse dining options. For roughly the same price per night, you can take a truly unique-to-the-Chesapeake plan of action and stay in a luxury yacht, allowing you and your guests to enjoy the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets during the stay.
The nearest airports are both within an hour from Annapolis—Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) is a 30-minute drive into town, while Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) is 45 minutes away. Once in the city, Uber and Lyft can take you not just across town, but to nearby areas in the metro area.
Looking for the perfect vacation rental for your Annapolis getaway? Tripping.com's got you covered. Whether you're seeking a vacation home, cabin rental or cottage, Annapolis offers 387 affordable vacation home rentals to choose from, with far more amenities, space and comforts than the average hotel room.

Russ and I had a fabulous time in Alaska and Canada but now I have serious case of post holiday come down fueled by my worst jet lag of all time, it's cruel! The last two weeks were pretty special though, definitely this year's highlight as I adore travelling by RV road trip style. We managed to cook some amazing food on the move too, stopping off at local stores for a fridge top up and a mosey. I fell in love in Canada, with Whole Foods. I have to say I really have developed quite the love affair with Whole Foods supermarket. Why oh why is this not a permanent fixture in my life, come on the UK – get with the programme. Whole Foods is almost reason enough to move to Canada! Seriously, I was so impressed by the layout, the actual food, the choice, the cosmetics, the take out counter, come to think of it I was impressed by Canada in general. But shopping in that supermarket is pure pleasure, I need Whole Foods here!
Moving on, travelling by camper van really is pretty special and gave us total freedom and flexibility to explore and make stops at our leisure. The kitchen was amazingly user friendly and well equipped so there really was no excuse not to make some great food. It was so nice to stop off somewhere different everyday, make a fabulous meal and soak up the scenery. The only thing is the van did have the faint aroma of cumin and curry powder when we delivered it back to Vancouver. Oops, that'll be those black beans and the delicious lentil curry!
I made this butter bean and harissa burger before we went away, when it was a little warmer and we were eating outside. What is that about- I'm away for two weeks to return to close on winter weather? No matter, I'm layering up and will continue eating outside until it's near freezing! Bring on the chili sauce and harissa paste for a bit of warmth. The harissa (formed of red peppers) in this burger has a some good spice and adds a very authentic North African flavour and makes a great colourful looking pattie too. The lemony onions are a delicious and sweet addition to the punchy and spicy flavours in the butter beans, I just have to, actually need onions with my burger. Any bean would work really, I just happened to have some of these handy the day of my burger craving.
You just gotta love a good old juicy bean burger. They're just so satisfying and beans are fabulous for carrying robust flavours and are miles tastier than meat varieties. Making bean burgers is sooo easy too, they take no time at all and it's really pretty satisfying to create your own burger from scratch, in a flavour to suit your tastes. I really do think you can pretty much form a workable burger entirely from guess work and have it in the frying pan in 10 minutes flat. You can adjust quantities as you combine the ingredients to create a workable consistency and more importantly have full control of what is going into your burger. Let's face it, you cant say that for any shop bought varieties out there. This better, I mean 'butter' bean and harissa burger is entirely plant powered as it contains chia egg for binding the mixture but a regular egg would work also.Easy, spicy, plant powered and delicious. Nice.
Today's the day for making a super plant burger. What's your next veggie burger going to be?
Butter Bean + Harissa Burgers with Honey Lemon Onions
(makes 2 large burgers or 4 small patties)
1 can (240 gram drained) butter beans
2 teaspoons chia seed just covered in water or 1 egg if not vegan
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt + pepper
handful basil leaves
3 teaspoons harissa paste
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 burger buns (I used Waitrose gluten free quinoa rolls)
for the onions:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion
juice of half lemon
1 tablespoon honey
1. Drain the butter beans + transfer to a large bowl. Mash the beans with a fork + add the remaining ingredients continually pressing down with the fork until you have a pliable burger ball. If the mixture is too sticky add some oats + if too dry add a little milk.
2. Divide the mixture into two + form into 2 burger shapes.
3. Preheat a medium grill. Heat the olive oil in a large pan + fry the burgers on 1 side until browned. Flip + finish cooking under the grill for an even brown finish.
4. Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a small pan + add the onion, lemon + honey. Cook until softened.
5. Slice the buns, add the burgers, top with honey lemon onions + salad.

I don't think you ever post anything that I don't want to cook immediately. You've got to stop doing this to me 😉
Looks wonderful. I just bought my first jar of harissa and I'm dying to try it. Just wondering, since butter beans are not readily available where I live, is there any other type of beans you'd recommend in this recipe? Would cannelini beans work?

Making new movie How To Train Your Dragon 2 brought back abandonment issues for Gerard Butler.
The animated sequel features a child abandoned by his mother, voiced by Cate Blanchett, but the Scottish actor had his father on his mind as he took on the character Stoik.
He tells WENN, "That part of the movie was quite profound for me. I didn't see my father for 14 years. I didn't even know he was alive and he turned up out of the blue.
"I had this dream just before and I went to my mom and said, 'I'm never gonna see my dad again, am I mom?' And she said, 'No, I don't think so'. Then I came home one night and my stepfather said, 'Keep your jacket on. We're going into town. Your dad's here'.
"I had to go into this restaurant and walk around this packed restaurant and go from table to table literally looking at men going, 'He's not my dad. He's not my dad. He's not my dad'. Then he stood up and he was the weirdest looking guy in the restaurant, with a big shaggy beard!
"It's profound for anyone to imagine that the parent you didn't think was there is, and the love of your life that you thought was gone is alive and well and there is a chance to rekindle everything that you thought was lost in life."

Sunless Tan Lotion Review
Avoiding Fake Suntan Drawbacks By Reading A Sunless Tan Lotion ReviewMany are into the use of UV-free tanners nowadays. These products eliminate the need for sunbathing to enjoy a gorgeous bronze skin tone. It's important to know that the resulting fake suntan depends on the brand used as well as the way it is applied. Reading a sunless tan lotion review has to be done if you want your new beauty regimen to be a pleasing one.
Focus on a detailed and truthful sunless tan lotion review to avoid picking up the wrong brand. Many end up frustrated with the whole experience of getting a suntan indoors because they did not use the right tanner or apply it in the recommended fashion. A very helpful sunless tan lotion review is also likely to mention some crucial skin preparations.
Not all self-tanners on the market these days are the same. Alongside wonderful ones are products that give an indoor tan a bad reputation. One of the main reasons why you should spend time reading a sunless tan lotion review is to know which brand or variant to get. Just like with using any other beauty product, it matters gravely that you pick the right item.
Excellent UV-free tanners rely on an active ingredient called DHA. An informative sunless tan lotion review will surely tell you that this chemical is sugar-based and has the FDA's approval. It should also let you know that DHA can cause skin darkening that lasts for 3 to 7 days. The gradual fading of the suntan-like color is due to the skin's natural sloughing off.
DHA-based indoor tanners tend to produce a funny smell while they are working. This fact is something a sunless tan lotion review should admit. The odor is similar to a fish, and surely it can be embarrassing to ride a bus or go on a date smelling like that. The sunless tan lotion review you are looking at should tell you how effective the product's added fragrance is in keeping that smell to a minimum. However, it should not be too strong as to irritate the nose.
Many still think that today's self-tanners are similar to those which came out in the 60s which gave everyone an orange skin tone. Luckily, there are plenty of products on the market today that are formulated to produce a golden brown color just like a real suntan. Read one helpful sunless tan lotion review after the other to know which brands can really impress.
A detailed sunless tan lotion review will tell you how easy or difficult the application is. These days, you can choose from a wide variety of tanner forms. Look for a sunless tanning lotion review which discusses this particular product's usage. Stay away from anything that the reviewer finds tricky to apply as it's very prone to the formation of streaks or blotches.
The most important portion of any sunless tan lotion review is the description of the resulting fake suntan. There's nothing wrong with going for an indoor tan. Still you want to sport a skin tone that looks like it was obtained at the beach.

Best Sun Tanner Ever from Overland Park, KS Verified Purchaser
I love this sun tanner. It's great to mix with the lotion of your choice. It has a bronzer in it as well as a tanner, so you can see where it is and isn't as you're applying it. It's very dark, so it lasts a long time, too. Review posted 10/10/2012.

great self tanner! from shenandoah junction, WV Verified Purchaser
love the almond scent, non streaking and the color is a beautiful brown, not orange like some other self tanners I have tried in the past. Review posted 7/10/2011.

Superb color from Jackson, NJ Verified Purchaser
This product definitely gets it right on three major counts - great color, looks absolutely natural without the orange-y, rusty cast just about all other self tanners give me, and I've tried a number of them from the highest to lowest end. Amazingly, it has absolutely zero self tanner smell, from the time you put it on through the entire 'baking' process. I can't imagine how they managed this as there is no heavy masking scent either, just a very light hint of almond. Next, it does not streak or leave 'hard' edges as some tanners can when you go too dark and see the line of demarcation between the color and your actual skin tone. The price is great too. So why three stars?9.11/2012
5 out of 5
For all its great attributes, it is a COLOSSAL MESS to use. It is like slathering yourself in mud. In first applying it I felt terrified about the results as it goes on extremely dark and with big streaks everywhere, but it turns out you really don't have to worry about those. And don't think you can slop this on and then go about your business for the day. It is called Overnite for a good reason. You can't do anything else except put on some old jammies and go to bed until the process is however.8/11/2012

Space Expedition 50 crew touches down in Kazakhstan after 170 days in orbit
The three international crew members of Expedition 50 have landed safely in the Kazakhstan steppes, thus bringing their 173-day mission at the International Space Station (ISS) to an end.
Expedition 50 concluded successfully as the Soyuz MS-02 spacecraft's landing module touched down at around 10:20 GMT 146km (91 miles) from the town of Zhezkazgan on the Kazakhstan steppe.
@NASA Earth has 3 more people on it as @Astro_Kimbrough, Sergey Ryzhikov & Andrey Borisenko land at 7:20am ET. Watch: http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv
"The crewmembers feel well. Medics are examining the space travelers upon return to Earth," the Russian Federal Space Agency's RKA Mission Control Center told RIA Novosti.
@NASA What's involved in returning to Earth from @Space_Station? This animation shows the sequence of events. Watch live: http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv
NASA's mission commander Robert Shane Kimbrough and two Russian flight engineers, Andrey Borisenko and Sergey Ryzhikov, boarded the Soyuz spacecraft early on Monday and undocked from the space station at 7:57 GMT.
@NASA @Astro_Kimbrough, Sergey Ryzhikov & Andrey Borisenko undocked from @Space_Station at 3:57am ET. Watch live: http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv
While on the mission, the crew researched the influence of lighting on the overall health and well-being of humans in space, examined the genetic properties of space-grown plants, and looked at human tissue regeneration in microgravity.
@NASA @Astro_Kimbrough, Sergey Ryzhikov & Andrey Borisenko have departed @Space_Station on their journey home to Earth after 173 days in space
Back at the ISS, command was transferred to NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, starting Expedition 51. Whitson becomes the first woman to command two ISS expeditions, as she was in charge of Expedition 16.
Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy and French flight engineer Thomas Pesquet have also stayed at the station for Expedition 51. Two other members are expected to join them in 10 days, after their Soyuz MS-04 blasts off on April 20.
RT correspondent Maria Finoshina caught the emotional moment for Andrey Borisenko's family right after the landing. "Of course we have been worrying, but we are sure of our equipment and that everything will be all right," the cosmonaut's father, Ivan, told RT. "It's not like walking in the park or a trip to another city," Borisenko's wife, Natalia, added. Andrey Borisenko is the cosmonaut behind the RT 360 space project, which has been bringing panoramic videos from aboard the ISS for the first time ever.

THREE years ago, I was planning this big wedding AND going to nursing school. I was stressed beyond belief and read about this contest. I laughed it off but showed it to my mom and Andrew. It was to be the first people to get married at our fair. It was called Marriage On The Midway! You won EVERYTHING for your wedding from the dress to the flowers! We decided to enter it..just to do it...it's not like we'd ACTUALLY win! HAHA! So I wrote this short essay and sent it in with a picture of us! A few days later, I was sent an email telling me that we made it in the top 10 and it was going to be on a website and everyone would vote.
Again, we just kind of laughed it off. We were up against 9 other people, what are the chances WE would win it? We voted, and left it at that. But we started hearing about the contest on the radio and such. LOTS of people were voting in this contest. A few days later, I get a million calls while I was at the hospital doing my rounds. As I left the hospital that day, I listened to my messages and WE HAD WON!
I had visions of getting married underneath a roller coaster by a Carney. Needless to say, I was terrified because we had just entered this as some joke! I talked to my family and we decided to call them and decline.
When I called them back, I told them that I wasn't interested. I didn't want my wedding to be a joke, I wanted a nice ceremony. The lady that I talked to was SUPER nice and told me that we had won by a landslide and it WAS NOT a joke to them. She assured me it would be nice.
It was going to be in a tent on a Sunday morning BEFORE the fair started. We could choose our minister and anything else that we wanted! Then she told me everything that was included in this. We could invite 116 people(they'd work with us if we needed more) and they would all get into the fair. After the wedding, they would all have wristbands and could ride all the rides and eat as much fair food as they wanted! EVERYTHING would be taken care of...the flowers, photographer, dress, tuxes, cake, decorations, a honeymoon, a gift basket with a whole bunch of randomness, satellite TV AND Radio for a year........EVERYTHING! I had already bought my wedding dress though, so I used my own and now I have two. The catch? I had TWO WEEKS before we got married!
We talked it over, and decided to do it. Everyone was a little apprehensive at first because we weren't getting married in our church where I grew up. But, God IS everywhere and would be with us at the fair.
That night we watched our wedding..ON THE NEWS! The next morning, I got a call from my mom. We were on the FRONT PAGE of our state's newspaper! I guess being the first people to get married at our state fair is a big deal. My dad went to go get a paper and no one believed that was his daughter on the front page of the paper! Even now, if I run into people I went to high school with and haven't seen in FOREVER, they always say "I saw you on the news or paper".
HERE are some pictures from our wedding...
Here I am right before the wedding
During the wedding. It was so short notice that we weren't able to get dresses and have them all fitted before the wedding. So that is my brother and sister on my side(YES, my brother is my bridesmaid), and Andrew's dad was on his side!
The minister is actually a friend of ours and was the youth minister at the church we went to!
Our cake
We threw the garter and bouquet from the Ferris wheel!
THIS is what it looked like all day, I felt like a celebrity! LOL..we had camera crews all over us!
My grandad passed away shortly after we were engaged. He was a HUGE part of my life and I wanted a piece of him in our wedding pictures. After our wedding and everything was over we went back to my parents house to take pictures with some of my granddad's tractors!

On Being Human by Nigel Summerley and Rowena J Ronson
On Being Human by Nigel Summerley and Rowena J Ronson
Photograph: Speak To Me by Rowena J Ronson
RJR: I am just back from the One World Festival and I was struck by how friendly people were! We all shared a smile as we crossed each other's path, it was almost a shock at the beginning. It started to make me think how strange the reverse is in terms of how we live the rest of our lives. We walk along London roads completely closed to those around us. We cram ourselves in carriages on the tube, breathing each other in, but not uttering a word or exchanging a glance. How has this become the norm?
NS: This is not exclusively a London experience. It can happen also in the country – anywhere. And in London, you can live in a neighbourhood where people are friendly and do speak to each other. But generally, we increasingly don't speak to each other – or even acknowledge each other. At the same time many of us are wrapped up in phone and email conversations as we move among those we are not speaking to. So we ARE communicating and NOT communicating at the same time. Is it us or technology that is to blame? Or just increased population?
RJR: Interesting points Nigel. Mobile phones seem to have become many people's companion as they walk along the road. I was behind a woman yesterday in St Albans, and I could tell you had no issue with crawling along while scrolling pages on her phone, regardless of how busy the high street was or that she was holding others up. She was in her own bubble and no one else mattered. So I do think mobiles play a part in it, even if we are not communicating with someone while walking, we can so easily not be present. And I guess maybe there is something in that. When we are on a busy tube, do we ignore others because we really do not want to be present? Is the experience too unbearable? Watching people on busy streets passing each other by without a thought or glance, it is almost surreal, and this is how we were as humans way before mobile telephones….
NS: Yes, mobile phones used like this are perhaps a red herring – or a symptom of what you are talking about. Fundamentally, it seems that we don't talk to each other on the tube etc, partly because we are stressed and engrossed in our own stuff – but perhaps mainly because we don't know each other. We tend not to talk to 'strangers'. Previous generations – in a world without so many people – did seem to talk to each other more. But apart from there being so many of us now, there is also an element of fear, isn't there? You don't know what might happen if you do speak to a 'stranger'.
RJR: I think you are spot on about the issue of 'so many people'. I think it brings out a sense of overwhelm and a need to disconnect and retreat into our own bubbles. I guess it is a survival mechanism. I am not so sure if it is a conscious a process as fear of what might happen but maybe there is an element of that for some too. I have spoken to several people recently who say that they just cannot cope with travelling in and around London anymore by tube. They feel it is such a huge zap on their energy for which they take several hours if not a day or so to recover. This is not something that they have experienced in the past. Can you relate to this?
NS: The tube in rush hour is one of the most potent reminders of how overcrowded we are – and also the epitome of the stress of city life. It's not surprising that we retreat into our bubble – and perhaps become increasingly careful about whom we allow to have access to that bubble. But the more we are estranged from each other, the easier it is, it seems, for things to break down. It must, in most cases, be easier to be violent towards a stranger than towards someone you know. And doesn't this potential explosion of violence in an overcrowded environment apply as much to the world as it does to the city?
RJR: I guess it does. It is interesting that you have brought violence into the equation. Tell me what made you make the link?
NS: City life is the proverbial 'rat trap' – and on the tube we are overcrowded and stressed and hemmed in by strangers. In these circumstances animals are more likely to fight each other for survival.
RJR: And by being forced to use the reptilian part of our brain, do we become less in touch with our humanity?
NS: That could be a chicken-and-egg situation – we may lose touch with our humanity and then resort to basic violence. If we dehumanise everyone around us, then violence becomes easier. So is there anything we can do to focus on the fact that 'strangers' are similar to ourselves?
RJR: Be conscious? But I am not sure that is the point is it? Our consciousness tends to go out the window of the train as our need for self protection has a louder calling.
NS: Perhaps being conscious would allow us to risk losing whatever it is that we think is so important that we tend to protect it at all costs?
RJR: I wonder if we can bring others into our discussion? Double Takers, what do you think?
