Last pics. of the year
John went up the other day and pulled my last camera. It has been up there since Sept. and these last two pictures were the best bucks I got the whole time. John said the snow was up to his knee while hiking in.
I hope these bucks make it through the winter. That first buck looks wide. Maybe 30" +? and that second buck has awesome fronts.
There's always next year

Re: Last pics. of the year
Both great bucks. If that top buck added some mass, he would be world class. I wussed out and pulled my cameras early due to the fact that they shut down the access road that gets me to the trailhead. Next year I might chance it, worst case scenario I have to ride a snowmobile in to pick them up.-------SS

MOBILE, AL (USAJaguars.com) – University of South Alabama football head coach Joey Jones sat down with the media Monday to discuss this week's contest at Arkansas State, following the Jaguars' open date last weekend.
A few highlights from Monday's press conference are below.
Opening statement:
"Arkansas State is a very good football team. I watched them play last Thursday at FIU [Florida International]. They went down there on the road and beat a very good FIU team. Their losses have come to the likes of Oregon and Nebraska, so they are a very good football team. They're very good on offense, and have a lot of juniors and seniors starting in their offensive and defensive lineups. They are a veteran team, and we expect them to be a great football team when we walk into the stadium."
On how the team benefited from the open week:
"It couldn't have come at a better time. We were beat up. Being nine-and-a-half weeks into it, counting fall camp, it came at a great time for our players and coaches after an emotional three games of playing N.C. State, Mississippi State and Troy."
On the offense since announcing a starting quarterback:
"When we play one quarterback, he's going to get more reps in practice. Before [naming a starter], we were splitting the reps 50-50 because they were going to play in the game 50-50. We're going to give our starter [Ross Metheny] probably 70 percent of the reps, and C.J. [Bennett] will get about 30. It should make him [Bennett] sharper in the games, so we'll see. We just felt like it was a move we needed to make for the offense. We're trying to find that identity in where we are, so I think that will help us with him getting more reps in practice. We think it's going to help us [to name a starter]. We tried to let it pan out over the last five games, but I think it will help us just from the standpoint that they [offense] know that he [Metheny] is going to be the guy right now."
On improvement from offense:
"We have not put a complete game together. We have to be balanced. We've had too many three-and-outs, and that's not really any one person's fault. We have a young offense; we started the season with two freshmen and five sophomores on the offensive unit. We have to get better, but it isn't easy to get better when you're playing the teams we are playing. We're a better team than we were last year, but we're playing much better competition right now and it just isn't showing. We have to be able to stick the ball into the end zone. Defense and special teams are playing good enough to win, so if we can get that part going on offense then we're going to get this thing rolling. But we have to get out there and get it done."
On things Arkansas State does well:
"They are pretty good on both sides of the football. They're averaging about 500 yards a game offensively, and are playing really good defense. They're just playing with a lot of confidence. Any time you win a championship the year before – you can just tell they're playing with a lot of confidence."
On how the open week was beneficial to preparing for Arkansas State's offense:
"I would hate to have known that we would have to have gotten ready in one week for what they're doing. [Head coach] Gus [Malzahn] does a great job of changing things up and scouting himself. You can tell that he scouts himself well with their personnel groupings. They give you fits all over the field, both horizontally and vertically. They really make you play the whole field on defense; that's probably the most difficult thing."

ALEX McLEISH has pleaded with the re-elected Rangers board not to dismantle Ally McCoist's squad as a quick fix to their cash problems.
Light Blues chief executive Graham Wallace admitted at Thursday's agm that a "rigorous review of our football squad" could take place as the club looks to cut costs despite a £22million share issue a year ago.
The Gers money men are also trying to find finance amid fears they could run out of cash by April and McLeish knows only too well how cashing in on players is sometimes the easiest option.
But the former treble-winning boss is well aware from his own time at Ibrox that there's only one outcome when you flog your best assets on the park – and he doesn't want to see McCoist suffer.
Rangers fans fear top performer Lee Wallace could be targeted in the January window with the club's financial position making them vulnerable to cash offers.
The latest set of annual accounts showed McCoist's playing budget of £8m was £2m less than the overall costs for non-playing staff with a string of directors and executives coining it in and some receiving bumper pay-offs as the coffers have been all but emptied.
McLeish knows the current Rangers squad is a cut above their League One rivals but insists McCoist is building for bigger challenges ahead and facing Celtic again in the top flight.
Eck told Record Sport: "When a club is looking to raise cash the easy option is just to sell your biggest playing assets.
"I hope they don't sell players as a quick fix because it would set back Ally's building plans.
"Lee Wallace is the one people are talking about as being of the biggest value. Now, Ally might have enough cover to get away with losing Lee Wallace now but what about in two years if they are in the Premiership?
"That is what the Rangers board have to be aiming towards – backing the manager to build a team capable of challenging in the top flight.
"Lee Wallace is a great player and I'm sure he would be great for Coisty in the next level.
"Let the new board back Ally McCoist. There's top businessmen in there with the Easdales and Graham Wallace so they've got to make sure Rangers get back to the top level.
"Ally has done the job. I went to five or six games last season and it wasn't pretty stuff but he got the guys over the line.
"He's made it more attractive this season, albeit they've won games late in the second half, and that's probably due to the great coaching and training and top class people at Murray Park.
"But it's also because of the quality so they shouldn't lose that. I saw Jon Daly in his first game against Brechin City at Ibrox and he missed four sitters and people were writing him off.
"I said to myself, 'He will score a barrowload for Rangers' and he's proving that already.
"It's now of huge importance that Ally gets the chance to work with his players and build a team that will be able to get to the top flight and challenge Celtic again in the long term."
McLeish lost key players during his time at Rangers when the club needed cash and his reputation suffered in a trophyless season before David Murray backed him with cash again and he paid the then owner back with the title.
That's why Eck believes it's simple – provide a manager with quality players and you will reap the rewards.
The 54-year-old said: "I know how difficult it is as a manager when you lose your best players.
"I joked the other day about the agm after my first full season in charge and we'd won the treble. One shareholder said, 'Alex, you walk on water' and I said, 'I hope you're saying that next year'.
"But we lost a lot of quality – Barry Ferguson, Claudio Caniggia, Arthur Numan left, we sold Lorenzo Amoruso and Neil McCann and Ronald de Boer's knee was causing problems.
"There's only one way you're quality is going to go when you lose your best players and that's down the way – and to be fair the next season after we lost players David Murray backed me.
"We secured two fantastic Bosmans early on in Jean-Alain Boumsong and Dado Prso and we ended up winning the League and Cup double.
"I'm not saying you don't need a manager but when I asked Arsene Wenger what made a great manager he said 'Great players'.
"That's true and it's true at every level. The current Rangers squad might not be Barcelona-level players but they are a cut above the level they're playing at now and they're the guys who will get Coisty to the next division.
"It won't be easy next season in the Championship and if he starts to lose that quality then he'll get criticised just like I did and suddenly you think you're hopeless but that's not the case.
"Coisty knows the game inside out but he needs players. I'd hope the likes of the Easdale brothers would back Coisty big time."

Rep. Thornberry warns residents about criminals posing as IRS agents
Congressman Mac Thornberry (R-Clarendon) is warning 13th District residents against new waves of scams trying to take people's money. Criminals use a variety of different schemes to extort money from innocent people. One of the most common scams are criminals posing as IRS agents by phone or email.
Typically, such scams include letters threatening collection actions or reporting people to a credit agency unless immediate payment is made. Another frequent scam are emails demanding immediate payment of tax debts. Lastly, scam artists make calls or send email using personal information taken from social media inventing stories of medical emergencies or arrests which require immediate payment.
"People from our area have come to me will all types of scams just within the last week. While many of them seek to take advantage of older citizens, everyone should be alert for these and other creative attempts by criminals to obtain money," Thornberry said. Thornberry suggests reporting such scams to the Department of Treasury by calling (800) 366-4484, visiting treasury.gov/tigta or forwarding information to email@example.com.
"People should be aware..before they become victims themselves. We also want then to know how important it is to report instances like this so these criminals can be found and prosecuted," Thornberry added.

This two-hour masterclass is part of the Museum of Brands' professional development programme: a series of talks, workshops and masterclasses in 2018. With a focus on brand, marketing and advertising, these sessions enable attendees to delve deeply into various aspects of these broad subjects.
In the earlier days of advertising celebrated at the Museum, words had a magical allure. Copywriters were expected to write compelling stories in simple press ads, which took both stamina and craft skill. Today, some would argue we live today in a world of visual overload. Pictures and videos are the lifeblood of social media and dominate our smartphones. So is there a danger the importance of great copy gets overlooked?
In this practical workshop, you will:
- Discover the ways in which copywriting has changed and developed
- Learn how the role of the copywriter has been transformed over time
- Work in small groups to create your own copy for a campaign
Introducing Phil Woodford, Director of Here Comes The Cavalry Ltd
Phil pursued a career in advertising and communications after graduating from the London School of Economics and currently provides creative and training services through his company Here Comes The Cavalry. He is a Course Director at the Chartered Institute of Marketing, specialising in copywriting and marketing communications, and has delivered workshops for a number of high-profile brands, as well as government agencies and charities.
Phil lectures in British Advertising at Sup de Pub – the advertising and marketing faculty of the French business school Groupe INSEEC – and is also an associate lecturer at Chelsea College of Arts in London. He co-hosts a weekly news review show on London's Colourful Radio.

I've written before about how public life in much of the UK has become a working class free zone, whether it be politics, big business, the arts, or the mainstream media, working class people have been all but excluded from front of house roles, having been replaced by upper middle class clones of the ruling class. When was the last time you heard someone speaking in parliament with a brummie, scouse or cockney accent? This lack of access to public life is especially true of broadcasters like the BBC and Sky TV. TV documentaries bar the odd one, are presented wall to wall by middle class Oxbridge academics or their former pupils. They make no attempt to empathise with their working class viewers.
The same goes for the arts; the acting profession which had been reinvigorated in the post WW2 years with an influx of young working class actors, some of whom came to dominate their profession at home and in Hollywood. Has reverted back to type and is once again dominated by upper middle class actors with modest talents who are lauded by the media way above their actual abilities. People like Benedict Cumberbatch, Eddie Redmayne, Carey Mulligan, Laurence Fox and Tom Hiddleston. Modest talents some might question, but if you look beyond the PR powder puff there is little depth to their acting as they mainly play what they are, which is upper middle class to the core.
Thus today the film and TV industry mainly churns out remakes of productions first produced long ago like Gatsby and Testament of Youth, or films like The Kings Speech, The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything, which are set in the 1940-50s when the writ of the upper middle classes was last in its prime.
These films are shallow and tame designed to make the average viewer leave the cinema comforted by the thought that such people rightly have a more prominent role in public life. Heroes everyone. As one critic dismissed Eddie Redmayne's latest film:
"No one gets upset, all remain friends and the superstar scientist's image remains considerately unsullied. It's a shallow, tame adaptation of Jane Hawking's memoir, diluted to the point of tedium."The mainstream media is no better with over 50% of newspaper columnists coming from the upper middle classes, again it's circa 1950s Britain. These columnists have no understanding about what makes working class people tick, they simply reflect their narrow class prejudiced view of the world, when they do write about working class people they dismiss them in an ignorant and derogatory way.
Recently one of these columnists summed up just how ignorant and class prejudiced she and her colleagues can be when writing a piece about feminism and housework:
However, now there's a new study, by a researcher from the University of Warwick, which questions accepted wisdom on housework gender wars. The research noted that different male approaches to household chores might have something to do with class and earning levels. While women still do the most housework, and men still use the "incompetence" ruse, men also do say they believe in gender equality. However, while those on lower incomes increasingly mucked in with housework, men on higher incomes not so much.
This is fascinating, if, like me, you've always directed your resentment about housework towards the entire male sex. Some might have automatically presumed that working-class men would be the most bullishly traditional, while middle-class men would be the most enlightened and egalitarian.Why would she think this, does she believe our women are more servile than those of the middle class, does she believe we are more coarse and brutal, the answer is yes, although she would never admit it. It is the same when racism is ever discussed in the media, it's always working class people who are tarred as racist, never mind we have not had a hand in embedding institutional racism in the police, British army or Parliament, etc, unlike the middle and upper middle classes I might add. Look across the British institutions and in almost every single one its upper echelons are top heavy with white middle class men.
When was the last time a documentary appeared on TV which looked at the depth of middle and upper middle class racism? Never I would suggest. This is not an accident it is deliberate design, just as is the exclusion of working class people from public life.
Of course there are racist bigots and misogynists amongst all classes and races but we face up to this fact, whilst, to put it crudely, due to their inbuilt class prejudice the middle and upper classes believe their own excreta doesn't stink.
However thankfully there is one aspect of British life which is still dominated by the working classes, hence it's enormously popular, whether on the pitch or in the TV studio it's still our game. Today working class people totally dominate association football. By and large it's a toff free zone and is all the better for that. True members of the elites hang out at the big clubs much like groupies around 1970s pop groups. The true fans view them with the contempt they deserve, and the corrupt oligarchs or foreign billionaires who own these clubs see them as servants on the make who may or may not help to oil their wheels.
As Bill Shankly once said: 'At a football club, there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques.'
Whether it be in after match interviews of players, or punditry in the Studio, we get a glimpse of what the nation is missing. Players and Pundits are exclusively from the working classes, they come across as ordinary people, there is no flailing about with their hands, or PR speak, which is the norm amongst the sheep like neo liberal elites and the middle class broadcasters of today. They talk simply and often articulately and by doing so highlight what the country has lost by public life becoming a working class free zone.
The more inclusive and equal society which was built in the post WW2 years came about due to political and trade union struggle; and the coming-together of working class talent and the best elements of the middle classes which are the very elements which are today being excluded from public life. (In a different context John Harris writes eloquently about this here)
Strangely the TV moguls understand this full well, otherwise why would they be lining up to offer £5.5bn plus deal for the Premier League's live TV rights. Sadly in fear of governmental pressures they fail to act upon it in the field of news and entertainment.
So why is soccer still a toff free zone after all the ruling classes can smell big money in a trough from miles away. It's a quirk of history, the schools and universities the upper middle classes and aristocracy send their children to are contemptuous of football as it was a working class game. Thus unfit for the school curriculum, cricket was fine, rugby OK, rowing great, but soccer was just not a so called gentleman's game. This also explains the woodenness and sheer stupidity when the likes of George Osborne pontificate about being great football fans.
|Note Osborne and Sepp Blatter are looking at the camera, not the cup, real fans would be so euphoric they would not even notice it
For the ruling classes to ring fence their own wealth and privileges at the expense of others as they do today, demonstrates their arrogance and ignorance as they have clearly not learnt a damn thing from 20th century history.
By denying working class people their democratic rights they do so at their own peril. They need to understand when people come to believe the democratic avenues to engage in public life and build a better society have been closed off to them, history teaches they reach out for whatever is to hand and offers them the best chance of getting out from under the yoke of their tormentors.
On a lighter note below are some quotes about life and football from Bill Shankly, the socialist and great football manager who was working class to the core:
'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.'
'Son, you'll do well here as long as you remember two things. Don't over-eat and don't lose your accent.' - to Ian St John when he signed for Liverpool.
Talking about the Liverpool fans - 'I'm just one of the people who stands on the kop. They think the same as I do, and I think the same as they do. It's a kind of marriage of people who like each other.'
'The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they don't know the game.'
Talking to a reporter about Roger Hunt - 'Yes Roger Hunt misses a few, but he gets in the right place to miss them.'
Explaining to Kevin Keegan what's expected of him at Anfield - 'Just go out and drop a few hand grenades all over the place son!'
'I know this is a sad occasion, but I think that Dixie would be amazed to know that even in death he could draw a bigger crowd to Goodison than Everton on a Saturday afternoon.' - speaking at the funeral of Everton legend Dixie Dean
'Sickness would not have kept me away from this one. If I'd been dead, I would have had them bring the casket to the ground, prop it up in the stands, and cut a hole in the lid.' - after beating Everton in the 1971 FA Cup semi-final.
Addressing the Liverpool fans who turned up in their thousands to welcome the team home despite losing to Arsenal in the 1971 FA Cup final - 'Chairman Mao has never seen a greater show of red strength.'
To Alan Ball after he'd signed for Everton - 'Never mind Alan, at least you'll be able to play next to a great team.'
To Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee - 'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee!'
About the 'This is Anfield' plaque - 'This is to remind our lads who they're playing for, and to remind the opposition who they're playing against.'
Shankly explaining rotation to a reporter - 'Laddie, I never drop players, I only make changes.'
Comparing the Anfield pitch to other grounds - 'It's great grass at Anfield, professional grass!'
'The difference between Everton and the Queen Mary is that Everton carry more passengers!'
To a local barber, who in 1968 had asked 'Anything off the top? Shanks retorted - 'Aye, Everton!'
To Tommy Smith during training - 'You son, could start a riot in a graveyard.'
On a wartime Scotland v England match - 'We absolutely annihilated England. It was a massacre. We beat them 5-4.'
What Shanks disliked about football - 'The end of the season.'
To reporters after a 3-0 defeat - 'They're nothing but rubbish. Three breakaways, that's all they got.'
Talking about Tommy Smith - 'If he isn't named Footballer of the Year, football should be stopped and the men who picked any other player should be sent to the Kremlin.'
After winning the FA Cup in 1974 Shankly goes into a fish and chip shop and orders a fish supper. The woman at the counter asks - 'Mr Shankly, shouldn't they be having steak suppers?' Shanks replied - 'No lass, they'll get steak suppers when they win the double!'
'I was only in the game for the love of football - and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.'
"If you can't make decisions in life, you're a bloody menace. You'd be better becoming an MP!'
After a 0-0 draw at Anfield - 'What can you do playing against 11 goalposts!'
Waxing lyrical about Ian Callaghan - 'He typifies everything that is good in football, and he has never changed. You could stake your life on Ian.'
'Fire in your belly comes from pride and passion in wearing the red shirt. We don't need to motivate players because each of them is responsible for the performance of the team as a whole. The status of Liverpool's players keeps them motivated.'
'Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.'

I should have bought a Sprint Stand a long time ago, it makes working on the bike so much easier. Before, I used 2 patio chairs to prop my bike up to wash it and removing the rear wheel was a pain due to the rear derailleur being at risk of damage. Now, with the stand, I remove both wheels in a matter of seconds, place my chain keeper in the rear drop, and can clean every nook and cranny of my bike, as well as easily make shifting adjustments or other maintenance tasks.MDubb
Just got off the phone with Feedback Sports. I was seeking technical and personal experience information concerning your bike stands. Your sales manager answered my questions confidently, explained the inner workings of the clamp rotation mechanism, etc. Through his courtesy and knowledge imparted over the phone I will be purchasing the Pro-elite repair stand.Brent H.

3 Common Sleep Disorders
People are just not getting enough sleep, says Dr. Helen Driver, a somnologist and assistant professor at Queen's University in Kingston, ON. "As a society, we're chronically sleep-deprived." Just look at our dependence on alarm clocks (if we slept enough, we wouldn't need them) and caffeine (ditto).
Dr. Driver says we're increasingly relying on data from health-tracking devices to tell us whether we've had enough rest when all we need to do is check in with how we feel. "If you wake up with a headache and you're grumpy and dragging yourself through the day, the first thing you need to ask is 'Did I get enough sleep last night?'"
When it comes to sleep, quantity and quality are equally important – if either one suffers, it can affect everything from blood sugar to brain function. "We now know that sleep plays a role in whole brain and body well-being," says Dr. Driver. And, according to the 2016 Canadian Sleep Review, we all crave more of it – the national survey found 87 percent of us would pay up to $500 for a week's worth of restful sleep.
Fortunately, no matter what it is that's keeping you up at night, there's a solution. Here are three common sleep saboteurs and what you can do to put them to rest.

I haven't written here for some time. My last post here was about deciding to begin to walk the South West coastal path, I have not made a lot of progress on that, in fact lets not beat around the bush here, I have not made any progress whatsoever!
My lack of writing , specifically about my coastal path adventures, stands as evidence as to how much life can suddenly change. At my last time of writing , on the back of my gender confirmation surgery going wrong, I was in the worst mental health place I had been for a while. My anxiety was so high that going outside was a challenge that took me two days to work up to and a week to recover from. I needed solitude, finding people to be just too much to cope with. I couldn't handle people being close to this body of mine which had returned to feeling like it was wrapped in barbwire and if I moved too suddenly or someone moved against me I would be cut to ribbons.
I desperately needed to balance looking after myself with also gently pushing myself to not sink into depths of isolation. I decided that challenging myself to a regular walk would help to accomplish this aim and would likely also help me to have a feeling of achievement.
Then, out of the blue, I met a woman who was to completely change how I felt in every way possible and would suddenly catapult me forwards in life, meaning that finding the time to do a coastal walk would turn out to be impossible!
Thanks to this wonderful woman, I have had a complete sexual paradigm shift. Despite my body still not working in the way that I hope it will one day in the not too distant future, I no longer feel the dysphoria I felt just a couple of months ago, My body feels freer than I ever thought it was possible to feel, especially considering its current "unfinished" state. This wonderful woman and I are no longer in a relationship, but the healing and growth that she ignited continues to blossom and I will be forever grateful for her.
My point in this post, as well as noting my lack of coastal walks, is to reflect on the wonderfully mysterious way that life works. Had I not had the awful surgery experience, I would likely have not been open to this sexual and relational epiphany that's happened. Its hard when times are tough to not label things as good and bad but developments like this are proof that things are not good or bad, they simply just are. Trusting this means in the midst of a difficult experience, such as the one I had for the first half of this year, the faith and knowledge that it will open up again and make sense , helps me to keep on travelling on.
When my new and exciting sexual world stops spinning so fast, I still plan to find the time to do these coastal walks, its just that now I shall do them with a rather large spring in my step and a incredibly wide smile on my face.

The Incom T-65 X-wing starfighter was the primary all-purpose starfighter of the Rebel Alliance and its successor governments. Known for its versatility and exceptional combat performance, it was a favorite with Rebel and New Republic pilots. Possessing deflector shields, a hyperdrive, an R2 astromech for repairs and navigation, and a complement of proton torpedoes, the X-wing allowed the Rebellion to launch raids in Imperial space with improved odds of a successful mission.
The X-wing played a major role in the Galactic Civil War following its capture on Fresia and the defection of its designers to the Alliance. It was most heralded as the fighter that destroyed the Death Star at the hands of Luke Skywalker. Later in the war, it would form the backbone of the Alliance Starfighter Corps, defending Alliance ships and leading attacks on Imperial vessels and installations. Most importantly, it could perform on near equal terms with the Empire's high-performance TIE fighters when handled by an experienced pilot.
1,050 km/h (higher speeds possible with deflector shields on)
Novaldex O4-Z cryogenic power cell
Chempat "Defender" deflector shield generator(50 SBD)

Topeka pedestrian dead after being struck by train
Oct. 18, 2017
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a train has struck and killed a pedestrian in Topeka.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that police were called Wednesday morning after the body was found. The discovery was made in a southern part of the city, just west of the Landon Nature Trail and Betty Phillips Park.
The identity of the person who was hit wasn't immediately released.

In fact, Myanmar history has been shaped by wars with its neighbours. Armies from Manipur, Assam, Bengal, Yunnan, Laos and Siam fought numerous battles with the three dynasties. Within what is now Myanmar several Rakhine and Mon kingdoms aspired to be powerful as well.
The short lived kingdom of former mercenary De Brito was another threat to Bamar sovereignty, that was dealt with by impaling the unruly Portugese warlord.
In the nineteenth century the British annexed what was then called Burma in two stages. King Thibaw was deported to India, where he would die, and the country became economically subservient to the colonialists.
It was a major blow to the pride of the Myanmar and the integrity of its institutions.
The second World War wasn't much better. Promising the Bamar nationalists independence the Japanese took over aided by the Burma National Army, but the new Asian masters never delivered and instead installed a harsh regime that was hated by the populace at large.
After the second World War large contingents of Kuomintang spilled over into Myanmar and went to battle from their hide-outs in the jungle while China was supporting the Communist Party of Burma, which wanted to overthrow the central government.
The Bamar majority was also under siege of countless militias and full fledged rebel armies in Shan State, Chin State, Kachin State, Mon State and Karen State. The United Wa State Army could rely on a steady supply of weapons and personnel from Yunnan, where a sizeable Wa population resides. It was a civil war the Tatmadaw could neither lose nor win.
The numerous assaults on its independence have left lasting scars in the Bamar psyche. The deep distrust of ethnic minorities, who in turn distrust the Bamar, and of foreign powers was reflected in the seemingly unending stream of articles in the state newspapers during the military era, in which the junta warned against 'Killer broadcasters' from abroad and those acting as 'stooges' for foreign powers.
It was hardly surprising that General Ne Win went into a isolationist trip shortly after taking over power in 1962, a move that ultimately helped ruin the economy.
Xenophobia was and is not a monopoly of the army. Recent outbursts of violence against the Rohingya Muslims and those who acknowledge their basic human rights has been disturbing but in a historical sense understandable.
In Rakhine State the Buddhists harbour a deep rooted fear of their land and resources being taken away, however improbable and unjustified this may seem. History has taught them reflexes that now prove to be counterproductive and, frankly, go against international humanitarian law.
It will take time and conscious effort to conquer distrust and foster harmony, a project that will only succeed with support from the government and the Myanmar communities.
But one wonders if this effort will ever be made when government party USDP has a lot to gain electorally from nourishing unsavoury sentiments, sentiments that the NLD can never act upon, for fear of losing its international backing.
The prospects for this election year are not promising. Will harmony be sacrificed for the sake of short-term electoral gains, even if it means playing into the dark underbelly of Myanmar?

SAN FRANCISCO – Legal observers say lying under oath is rampant in courts across the country, yet rarely prosecuted. A California district attorney wants to change that.
Lake County District Attorney Don Anderson appointed one of his 14 prosecutors to a new perjury investigations unit earlier this year that may be the first of its kind in any district attorney's office in the country.
Anderson said he's tired of people lying under oath and getting away with it. Anderson was spurred to start the unit by the case of a man who spent 18 years in prison based on perjured testimony from a 12-year-old girl. Luther Jones, now 72, was released earlier this year after the girl came forward and said her mother told her to falsely testify in 1998 that Jones molested her.
Anderson's unit is investigating the mother.

If you are advertising online (for example, to sell a horse), you should be aware of the common internet scams associated with online advertising, and how to avoid them. Following is a list, based on our experience, and our suggestions on how to avoid them. We suggest you consider the following, regardless of whether you advertise with us, or on other websites. Please note that the following is written to protect advertisers; a separate article will be provided on how buyers should protect themselves.
EMAIL Theft
When selling online you will usually be required to provide a contact EMAIL address. Although the website where you are advertising may be perfectly honest, such websites are often scanned by fradulent software programs which try to obtain such EMAIL addresses by any of the following 3 methods:
Once they have your EMAIL, they may either then use if for SPAM or fraud themselves, or they may sell on the list of EMAILs they've obtained to other people who use it for SPAM or fraud.
Since even the largest and most honest websites may be the target of such fradulent software, one should always protect your EMAIL address. Never use a business or personal EMAIL for selling online. Obtain a free temporary password (e.g. from Google GMAIL or Yahoo) which you can use for the advertisement. That way, if it becomes the subject of SPAM, you can simply throw it away and get another (which may not be easy if you used a business or personal EMAIL address).
As an additional step, you may wish to advertise only with websites which provide a contact form which hides your EMAIL (we provide this service automatically and free of charge), so that you do not have to place your EMAIL address within the advertisement. Note that EMAIL addresses which are published within advertisements are more likely to attract SPAM.
In this scam, the buyer pays more than the price of the item and asks you to refund the difference. For example, if an item cost $100, he pays you $150 and asks you to send back $50. He may say that he overpaid by mistake, or he may give some other excuse.
The basis of the scam is that the payment to you is fradulent. For example, it may be a counterfeit cheque (even a counterfeit cashier cheque), or it may be using a credit card which has been stolen or a PayPal account whose login details have been stolen. Consequently, if you send back the overpaid amount, the buyer will simply take the money and you will find out later that the cheque or other payment to you is not valid and you are out of pocket this amount.
To avoid this:
This scam is similiar to the above scam in that the other person tries to get you to send money to him. The difference is that rather than pretending to have over-paid you, the scam is based on promissing to pay you but giving some excuse for needing money from you to complete the transaction. For example, they may may offer to buy a horse, but ask for money to pay for its transport or innoculations. However, after you have 'advanced' the money, the other party will simply take it and disappear.
The way to avoid this scam is exactly the same as for the previous scam: never pay money to a buyer, even if it is just an advance.
Identity Theft
There are a number of scams in which the other person tries to get financial information about you (e.g. your bank account or credit card number), along with personal information so that they can use your identity to access your money or purchase items.
Many financial institutions have a small number of personal questions which they use to identify people. Typical questions include your date of birth, your full name (including middle names), your mother's maiden name and so on. Consequently, if someone obtains this type of information from you, along with a bank account number or credit card number, they may be able to contact your bank or credit card company (by phone or through an online account) and pose as yourself.
They are a number of reasons which they may give for asking for this information. For example, they may ask your bank details so that they can transfer money to your account and then say they need the personal information for administrative or security reasons.
To avoid such problems, be carefull what information you provide. Try to agree a payment method which involves providing the minimum of information. If you suspect that your details have been compromised, contact your bank or credit card company to discuss the situation and make the appropriate changes to number or security questions.

Fresno Grand Opera opens a classic on Saturday. But it's not a classic opera. Which will make the production of "Our Town" seem both familiar and cutting-edge. You can read all about it here in my Seven section cover story for Friday's paper.
I know what some of you are thinking: "My high school did 'Our Town,' and I was bored." One of the consequences of being a beloved classic (and not having a set, which makes it quite cheap to produce) is that a play like "Our Town" gets done to death, particularly at the high school level. But if you've never seen a professional production of the show, I'm betting you haven't experienced the full emotional power of the material. Add to that an acclaimed and melodic musical score, and I'm looking forward to an entirely new "Our Town" experience.
Meanwhile, good news for Beehive readers: I have two pairs of tickets to give away to the production, which will be performed 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at the Fresno Memorial Auditorium. You can choose which performance you'd like to attend.
Enter by leaving a comment on this story answering this question: If you could go back and relive one day of your life, what would it be? (Or, if you'd prefer not to bare your soul, you could just say that you'd like to see the show.) Include which performance you'd like to see. You have until 5 p.m. Thursday to enter. Winners will be chosen at random and notified via Facebook message. Be sure to check your Facebook message requests Thursday evening. (If I haven't heard back from a winner in a reasonable period of time, I reserve the right to pick another.) You'll be able to pick up your winning tickets at the Fresno Memorial Auditorium Will Call ticket window. (See rules below.)
A couple of other things to share:
BIG NEWS! "PAY WHAT YOU CAN" is here! under 30 can get TIX to Our Town Starting at $10. Must get at FGO office or day of show. ID required pic.twitter.com/Gp6SmkOtYw— Fresno Grand Opera (@FresnoOpera) January 25, 2017
Check out the other activities of "Opera Week," which include a chance to sit in on the "sitzprobe" (the first rehearsal with orchestra) on Wednesday, dress rehearsal on Thursday, and a special "Celebrate Our Town" photo exhibition at the Fresno Memorial Auditorium, open both days 10 a.m.-10 p.m.
Recipients will be notified by e-mail or Facebook message at the end of each giveaway period. No substitutions or transfer of winners/prizes. Prizes are not redeemable for cash. Some prizes may have due dates for redemption/use. Employees and immediate family of The Fresno Bee and any/all of the participating giveaway sponsors, are not eligible to win. By accepting a giveaway, recipient consents to allow the use of his/her name and/or photograph for advertising or similar promotions without further compensation. Winner releases all sponsors of liability regarding use and enjoyment of the prizes. Tax liabilities and insurance, if any, are sole responsibility of the winner. No purchase necessary to win.

Tree Survey and Hazard Assessments: Using a Certified Arborist from the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) we can provide a Tree Hazard Assessment and Inventory of all community trees (identified by Species and DBH). A detailed report can be provided which provides an evaluation and inventory of all landscape trees throughout your community with recommendations and concerns. A detailed map will also be provided showing tree locations. Should you just need one tree inspected and evaluated we can do that as well!
Tree Removal: Professional Grounds is able to meet all your tree and stump removal and trimming needs year-round using our licensed, insured and well qualified team. Should your tree removal require bucket trucks, cranes or just a pro with a shovel, we can handle any job. Additionally, many properties in our area have large, mature trees which require elevation, crown cleaning, and/or dead wooding, which are all services we offer.
Stump Removal: Stump removal is an important process that should not be overlooked when removing trees. Often times, customers cut trees flush to ground level but we highly recommend grinding the stumps, removing grindings and either replanting or converting the area back to turfgrass using Certified Seed for the best aesthetic results. If your property has residual stumps from prior tree removals we suggest removing multiple stumps at one time for a more cost effective approach.

The Morning Journal (http://www.morningjournal.com)
Monday, July 20, 2015
Residents flocked to the opening of the Avon Aquatic Facility and found big bright umbrellas with blue and white lawn chairs and special pool areas to delight each age group.
"It's been going great," said Parks and Recreation Director Diane Corrao on July 20 while signing up people for season passes at the front gate. "Crazy busy, but that's what you hope for in the summer. And you get to see all the residents."
City Council viewed the pool at an unveiling for dignitaries July 19, Corrao said. Because some amenities at the pool are unfinished, residents can look forward to changes in the near future.
"The manufacturer didn't finish the slides," Corrao said. "There's a family slide that two or three people can go down at the same time. And there are two 20-foot slides. One is straight and one is curly. They are supposed to be shipped this week, and they take 10 days to assemble."
But that didn't stop the opening nor prevent city residents from reviewing their first Avon pool experiences.
Kevin Hoffland, a high school math teacher, made memories with his son Kyle, 3.
"We got here pretty much at 10 a.m. when you're allowed to have toddler time," Hoffland said. "We've been hanging around at the Splash Pad, the slides and the bucket. We even put life jackets on and hit the deep end, pretty much the whole facility. We might be coming back tomorrow."
Ashley Hunt visited the pool for a couple of hours with her children, John, 8, and Anna, 6.
"It was good, crowded but good," Hunt said. "John was diving off the diving board. Anna and I went on the slide, but stayed in the places more for younger kids. There are lots of different spots, so that was nice."
John said he's been swimming since he was 3 and knows how to do flips, but pool rules do not allow them.
"I touched the bottom at the 12-foot (mark)," John said.
The slides available so far include a shorter yellow one without a tunnel and another with a tunnel and a curve, Hunt said.
"But when it's over, there is shallow water for the little ones," Hunt said, adding she's glad they ventured to the pool. "We'll probably come back."
Mandy Niederst created a day of fun with her four youngsters, Thomas, 10; Isabelle, 8; Sophia, 6; and Nathan, 4.
"I thought it was great," Niederst said. "The kids had a great time. We've been at the pool since 10:30. They have a mom and tot swim, so we came for that and stayed a little longer. That's when they just have the shallow pools open, so it was just the little kids."
Isabelle voted for the basketball hoop as the best feature.
"I liked the basketball hoop and diving boards," said Thomas.
"I think that there's enough for all the different ages," Niederst said. "They have something nice for the younger kids and the older kids."
Susan Beres, office manager at the Parks and Recreation office, said 620 memberships were sold before the July 20 opening.
"When they released the information that we were opening (July 20), and they could get half off, we took in over 150 more season passes. And anyone who buys a pass this year gets 50 percent off next year's passes. So it's still a good deal even though our season isn't a full season.
"It's been super, super busy," Beres added, "but I would say that everybody has been very patient and kind with us. We appreciate it. We're figuring things out as we go along. We've never opened a pool before."
Some people became upset because of a proof of residency requirement, Beres said. For all of the pool rules, visit a website at www.avonpool.com.
"You have to be a resident or city worker," Beres said. Proofs of residency can include a grade card, birth certificate, or a family's income taxes, because all of the members are listed. The pool workers do not keep copies of the documents. They just need to see them for verification of residency, she said.
"The pool is for Avon residents," Beres said. "A child who lives in Avon can bring a guest."
Corrao said she is pleased with opening day.
"We've been so fortunate with the weather; we've got crowds," Corrao said. "Seeing all these kids smiles when they walk up. They can't believe it. You look, and you can't believe it's a city pool. It's country club quality. We're so happy all of our Avon residents are finally able to enjoy this."

Petr Cech has admitted that losing to North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur could cost the club a place in next season's Champions League.
Last month Tottenham ran out 2-0 winners at White Hart Lane, and it left Arsenal seemingly out of the running for a top-four place in the Premier League table.
Arsenal have since registered back-to-back victories – including a 2-0 triumph over Southampton on Wednesday night – but Cech has questioned whether their resurgence has come too late.
The 34-year-old told BBC Sport: "Every game we try to give ourselves a chance. We shot ourselves in the foot against Tottenham and we are aware we need to win all the remaining games to be in the race.
"We had a big game against [Manchester] United (a 2-0 win) and then here, where historically we haven't done that well in the league.
"It was tough in the first half but then we found the opening and deserved to win."

[Edit from the future - QI featured these facts in their show last night. Other than knowing the Latin name for a giant squid, the facts I add to this blog might be my only chance to win a pub quiz, so the less they appear on TV the better]
My garden snails are Helix aspersa and they reproduce in a truly astonishing fashion. I'm not talking about "A little odd, but what they do in their own homes is up to them". I'm talking some really strange stuff.
Firstly, the best part about snail sex is that everybody walks away pregnant. Which is nice. It must be a lot easier to get your partner to come with you to your birthing classes if they also need to learn how to breath.*
Helix aspersa are hermaphrodites meaning they have all the required kit of both males and females, and although it's not normal practice among snails, its actually possible for them to self fertilise.
Normally (whatever that means) two snails participate.
And then (and here's where it gets interesting) they each whip out a hard calcium spear and go about stabbing the other with it. Through their body. Stab. Into their skin. Through their skin, and into their body. Where their calcium dart adds the required fertility to the others snail's eggs and, in turn is similarly also stabbed.
That blur is camera shake and not crazy fast paced snail action.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
It's all part of the rich tapestry of life.
The dart looks like this.
The one pictured here is around 4 or 5 millimetres long.
Cupid's got nothing on these guys. In fact it's possible that my new and tasty garden dwelling buddies are Cupid's original inspiration to take up the bow and arrow in the first place.
*TV told me.
It's my intention to gain a new ability every 2 months for the next 20 years. I'd enjoy some company, some help, and some constructive criticism.

Thing is...from my research, they need soil to lay eggs. What is the solution here?ReplyDelete
Nom from BYAP forumReplies
I cant remember if this was ever resolved, but at some point I got them to lay eggs in a ground up coconut husk media, and also a cup of garden soil. The reason I'm commenting now is because I just got a load of junkmail to this this post which made me re-read it. Sorry if I ignored it ages ago.Delete
They should lay eggs on the 7th or 8th of June. I'll talk more about it then, when I can get some of my own photos.ReplyDelete

Sunday of last weekend took me to The Empire Theatre in Liverpool where I took on the challenge of photographing a live tribute band that gave their rendition of some of the world's most classic rock songs. The Classic Rock Show was an outstanding performance of legendary musical hits made famous by bands like Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, The Eagles, Supertramp, The Who and Genesis.
The show was directed and co-performed by Damian Darlington (former member of The Australian Pink Floyd Show – TAPFS), world-renowned for their stunning musical performances, juxtaposed with a unique light show and animated backdrop to a production level that is unparalleled by any other tribute band.
Damian (on guitar in the first photo) will be launching a new 'Floyd' tribute world tour tonight at the Liverpool Echo Arena. Known as Britfloyd (short for The British Pink Floyd Show), the band's line up will feature the majority of the musicians and crew involved with TAPFS and promises to be the world's leading Pink Floyd tribute band. "With the usual winning formula of grandiose production values and impeccable musicianship, this extravagant new show brings together all the best elements of a real Pink Floyd show, world-class musicians, world-class road crew, amazing new cutting edge Floydian animation and a staggering new stage production. BritFloyd takes the Pink Floyd tribute experience to a brand new level. Their upcoming global tour, Pink Floyd Greatest Hits World Tour 2011, will showcase the biggest and most spectacular Floyd tribute of all time' (from the Britfloyd wbsite).
I have been invited to photograph the show, which will be another case of low-light and flashing lasers – a photographer's nightmare! I will blog the results in the next few days, together with my technical notes related to photographing in low-light in possibly some of the most difficult conditions. I mustn't forget the earplugs!
