To Alexander Hamilton from Jeremiah Olney, 15 April 1793
From Jeremiah Olney1
District of Providence 15th. April 1793
I have the Honour to acquaint you that the Suit commenced against me by Mr. Edward Dexter in the Case of the Brigantine Neptune, was taken up and argued before the Superior Court in this Town on Saturday afternoon the 13th Instant and continued untill 9 o'Clock in the Evening, when Mr. Howell2 Counsel for the Plaintiff moved for an adjournment of the Cause untill the next Term to be held here in September, assigning for reason that he was much fatigued and should not be able to close the cause that evening! But to avoid a delay calculated to give them an advantage (by an expected and probable change of the Court in May next) I proposed that the cause should be removed to the County of Kent, and the pleadings closed before the same Court which meets there in course on the 22d. Instant, which was objected to by my opponents, but the Court adopted my proposition.
Judgment was not given in the Case of Mr. Arnold, as that of Mr. Dexters being Similar; the Court deemed it expedient to defer their Opinion untill the Pleas of the latter were closed at Kent when both would be decided upon, and I have no doubt of a favorable Issue. The District Attorney3 has Promised me (after the rising of the Court at Kent) he will give you a particular Statement of the principles on which these Causes have been conducted and Decided upon, this I presume will prove satisfactory to you.
I have the Honor to be very Respectfully Sir Your Most Obedt. Hume. Servt.
Jereh. Olney Collr.
Alexander Hamilton Esqr.
Secretary of the Treasury
LS, Rhode Island Historical Society, Providence.

UN Publicly Admits Scale of Burma Crisis for First Time (click to view PDF)
For Immediate Release
March 30, 2007
Contact: Aung Din: (202) 234-8022
(Washington, DC)
The US Campaign for Burma today praised the United Nations representative on human rights to the Southeast Asian country of Burma for becoming the first UN official to acknowledge the severity of the catastrophe in the eastern section of the country.
Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Burma, said in a report to the UN Human Rights Council that "Reliable and independent sources estimate that between 1996 and
2006, 3,077 separate incidents of destruction, relocation or abandonment of villages have been
Jeremy Woodrum, Campaigns Director of USCB reacted by saying that, "3,000 villages have been
burned or otherwise destroyed by Burma's brutal military regime in eastern Burma, but the true
scale of this crisis has never been acknowledged by the UN before now. We hope that Mr. Pinheiro's statement will lead new UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to call for an immediate
response by the UN Security Council since these attacks are continuing to this very day. What is
Ban Ki-moon waiting for?"
In May 2006, the US Campaign for Burma began encouraging the United Nations to acknowledge
the severity of the Burmese military regime's attacks on civilians in eastern Burma – specifically, to
admit that 3,000 villages had been burned or otherwise destroyed by the military regime and over 1
million people had been forced to flee from their homes. In December, activists sent over 3,000
postcards to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, each postcard representing each village that had
been destroyed by the military regime.
Annan never acknowledged the number while in office and his special envoy to Burma Ibrahim Gambari never even bothered to visit the more than 1 million refugees who have fled the regime.
"The new UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon should right this wrong and use his position to press
for immediate Security Council action on Burma. The longer he waits, the more people
in eastern Burma will die."
The push for a UN Security Council resolution comes after 10 years of failed UN efforts on Burma. The UN General Assembly and Commission on Human Rights have passed a
total of 29 consecutive resolutions calling for change in Burma and sent envoys on
dozens of trips to the country. Their requests have been ignored by the military regime. Unlike these
other UN bodies, however, decisions by the Security Council are binding.
In September 2006 the Security Council voted to place Burma on its formal agenda for
the first time in history, where it remains today. In January, the Council considered its first-ever resolution on Burma and garnered enough votes to pass, but was vetoed by Russia and
Burma is ruled by one of the world's most brutal military dictatorships, led by General
Than Shwe. Besides locking up Aung San Suu Kyi (the world's only incarcerated Nobel Peace
Prize recipient and elected leader of the country) and over 1,200 other political prisoners, Than
Shwe's regime has destroyed over 3,000 ethnic minority villages in a scorched earth policy
designed to root out all opposition to its rule. Over one million refugees have fled the country, while an additional ½ million remain internal refugees, where many are hunted down and killed like animals.
South Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu and former Czech President Vaclav Havel are leading an
effort to press the UN Security Council to take action on Burma. The effort is supported
by 13 Nobel Peace Prize recipients and a slew of celebrities including Tim Robbins, Peter Gabriel,
and others.

Reflective Essay Prd. 3
12 February 2013
Reflective Essay
April 20, 1995 marks the beginning for a newborn boy about to embark on the greatest journey of all, life. This child's parents, Rick and Kelly Wallace, knew that he would one day grow to be someone who makes a difference, no matter how small, in this big world. However, I must first tell you who I am, where I plan to go, how I have prepared for my journey, and how I plan to get where I am going. Now I introduce myself, Zachariah Gabriel Dull Wallace. With a love for anything mechanical I have decided that there is no career that would suit me better than one in Engineering. You know my name, but you must also learn who I am as a person. I believe myself to be a very responsible and respectful person especially when it comes to being graced with very lucrative opportunities such as going to a University to compete in football at a collegiate level. I find myself to be quite perseverant when it comes to sports and school because these things are very important to me and my future. Football has boosted my self confidence more than anything and is going to help send me through college and my school work is going to get me the degree in engineering I want to achieve. Along with boosting my self confidence and helping me through college football has taught me to be a leader. Early in my high school football career I had to step up and become a leader of the team because of my ability. This leadership role followed me through the last three years of high school coming to the point now where I must pass on the proverbial torch to an up and coming leader from the underclass. As a leader on the football field, I also learned to be a better role model to my younger sister and brother, Katie and Eli. In the past four years I have grown and matured a lot form where I was when I entered high school. I used to not care about school, life, or even football. High school has...

Commissioned as wedding chapel and event space, the plan needed to be unbroken and hyper-flexible for a variety of configurations. The building is sectionally layered by function: a lower level with loading docks, service spaces, kitchens and bathrooms; and an open upper level: column-free and variably configurable. The perimeter walls retract to connect to the surrounding landscape, leaving the architecture to the roof.
The building thus develops as a topographic ceiling: an array of skylights that create a variable funnel field connecting the celestial landscape through their calibrated funnel frames. Breaking down the large 100'x100' space, the anthropomorphic scale of the individual units, similar yet individuated and unique, reflects the functions of use: a large crowd of individuals gathered densely in common celebration.
The collective of the field is articulated through the variability of its system. The whole is determined by the part.
Displayed are studies for the roof configuration.

Posts Tagged 'cam'
This is a story about my first bisexual experience, but before I get into the details of what happened, let me explain myself a little bit first:
I am a 26 year old married man that has been married to a beautiful wife for 3 years. Our sex life has been incredible! I have always wondered what it feels like sexually from the woman's perspective since I first started having sex myself. My wife has slowly been opening up sexually a little at a time. Although we haven't gone too crazy yet she has opened up to anal sex. That was a bit of a process and I would love to write about that story sometime but that is when my curiosity all began.
My wife enjoys anal sex and anal play a ton! She has had some of her strongest orgasms during anal sex or with some type of anal play of some sort. That whole idea of wondering what sex feels like from the perspective of the female started making me wonder what anal sex would feel like for me? My wife more recently has been really slow at opening up to new things so the idea of having her fuck me with a strapon kind of went out the window. I was starting to go that route but it was just taking too long. I turned to chatting with women online about the idea of a strapon and also with men.
It was hard to find a woman that was really into the idea of a strapon so I ended up chatting with guys more! Through talking with them, a strapon would not feel the same so it was a good idea I was open to the idea of a guy fucking me instead. After a while guys started asking me to get on cam for them and it didn't take too much asking for me to just go for it. I started getting on cam for guys and stripping down for them. The first time I cam on cam for a guy I knew that I was really turned on by the idea of a guy fucking me. One guy that I was on cam with told me about a cam site where you go on there and your cam is open to anyone that wants to view you. I made an account and started viewing things that I never have seen before. And then I got on cam myself!
I turned my cam on and it took a little bit until I had a viewer that was actually typing to me but eventually he came. An older man in his 50′s! He told me I would be a dream if I were physically there in front of him with our age difference. And that is where it started, me not knowing what this man looked like or who else would be viewing me, and him along with everyone else being able to see all of me. He asked me to stand my 5'10″ frame up and I listened, and listened to every command that he had. As he told me to start stripping the clothes off my 155lb athletically built body more viewers started to come. The more that came, the more aroused I became.
The last piece of clothing to come off was my boxer briefs. As the waist band slid past the tip of my cock it sprang to life. All 7 inches of my cock was pumped full of blood and in full view of the 20 people now viewing. Knowing that my profile said I was married, the man asked me to get some of my wife's things. I slid her whole drawer of panties, bras, and lingerie out from the dresser and laid it on the floor in view of the cam along with some of her pictures. Showing the viewers some pictures of my wife brought the excitement level even higher. Then the man asked me to start showing off some of her things.
One by one I showed different combinations and then he asked me to stop at one particular one. It was a long see through mesh lingerie top that had a built in bra and went down to the ass with garter snaps at the bottom. The man, knowing my wife had a similar build to me, asked me to put that on for all to see. There was close to 100 people viewing as I slid the top on, slid on the matching panties, pulled on some thigh high nylons, and fastened the garters.
There I was, wearing a set of lingerie my wife had worn in front of me to arousal many times seeing her in it, but now it's me wearing it arousing some 100 guys. Everyone was making comments as I moved about in different positions in front of the cam. Seeing my ass bent over in my wife's lingerie heightened the arousal even further. My ass actually looked pretty hot in this outfit. Then the man thought it was time to take it a step further.
The man asked me to find something cock shaped to pretend it was his cock. After searching and thinking I found it! I was going to use the handle of a tool and put the tool in a vice. I brought it back to the room, put the vice on the floor and tightened the tool into the vice with the handle facing upwards. There it was, this man's 'cock' in the middle of my bedroom. There was about 150 people viewing as the man asked me to get on my hands and knees and suck 'his' cock. The comments were flying as I tried to take the tool deeper and deeper pretending it was this man's cock. Just when I thought I couldn't go any further, the man asked me to go get some lube.
As I spread the lube that I use to fuck my wife's ass, and would now be using it to fuck mine, the now 200 people watching were commenting like crazy about the outfit, me sucking the tool and now that I was going to put it in my ass. I loosened the vice and tipped the handle so it was pointing away from the cam. The man asked me to take 'his' cock deep into my ass. I unsnapped the garters and slide the panties down. I got down on my hands and knees with my open ass facing the cam and positioned the lubed handle at the opening of my ass. As I felt the end of the handle touch my asshole it sent shivers down my spine.
The tip of the handle popped into my virgin asshole. As I let out a moan the men typed their cheers telling me to take it further and further. As I plunged my ass deeper and deeper the moans became louder and more full of pleasure. They were watching this handle fuck my ass like it was them fucking me doggy style. When I was at the height of my pace and taking it deeper than I thought I ever could, the man asked me to stop to reposition.
I loosened the vice and tipped the handle to the air. Now I squatted down on the handle as I faced the cam with my hard cock facing them as well. I squatted down on the handle as the men watched the handle disappear into my ass. I was stroking my cock as I rode up and down on this older man's 'cock'. I was moaning louder and louder and then it happened. My cock exploded and I shot my load all over the bedroom floor with over 300 men watching me on cam and with a tool handle deep inside my ass. As my orgasm settled and I slide off the tool, the man asked me to lick up my cum. I squatted down and stuck my tongue out, and licked my cum from our wood floor. The men all thanked me and slowly left as I cleaned up.
As I shutdown my computer and started putting my wife's clothing away, I knew that this would not be the end of it. I knew that I needed to take it further. Please let me know if you want to hear part 2 and my first time with a man!
Exhibitionist, attention-seeker, loner, perfectionist, minx. At any one time I can be some, or all of these things. I am not, however, a professional cam girl, perfect, confident, into meeting people offline or poor.
I am addicted to the novelty of the unseen old man looking at my body and wishing he was 30 years younger; the ego-stroking that comes from a man, woman or couple 1000 miles away telling me they love looking at my naked body, or the greedy pervert wanting to pay me to strip, lick random items, dress-up, allow him to send me gifts, or any one of a million things these people can think of.
Why this past-time? I have an over active imagination; it's always clicking over, and it's usually sexually-based thoughts speeding through. The online world is one of anonymousness, which is perhaps why people get so trapped within its folds and perhaps why my imagination is so interested in running rampant through it. It allows me to stretch out within the un-real world of net-space, and wrap my hands around the bed posts before the imaginary cuffs are clicked into place, leaving me bare and exposed to any eyes that pass my way.
Being an object of desire is one of those rampant, enjoyable, shadowy acts which people like me find irresistible. Sometimes I feel I have no standards when it comes to whom I allow to watch me: men, women, couples… age is no barrier either. Other times I find myself screwing my nose up at certain people and thinking 'Gosh, I'm not even going there!' However, my selections are careful, measured, and the delete button is never far away. As a result of my vigilance I've never needed to knock back a request from a 'guest'; they are matched on needs, desires and kink to match my own. No defecation or similar 'weird' shit. Sorry!
When I turn on my cam I feel naughty, I feel sexy, but certainly I think I feel this way because I am in control, and what I do is because I've allowed it. I've chosen the time, the place, the costume and the viewer/s. However, there are times when this is different and these select times are often the most sexually charged but also the most daunting as they are relatively new to me.
I choose to expose/express myself this way because I can pretend to be someone else, someone much naughtier and saucier than I am in real-life. However, it works more so when it's anonymous. I can't cam for people I know in the real world (say, for a boyfriend). There have been exceptions to this rule, but it usually results (to their disappointment) in things being a lot less risqué and more subdued, although still revealing and generally rude.
Having the complete attention of an audience, no matter how great or small, I feel powerful, lusted after and sexy. They don't care what I do; they just want to watch. They want to be recognised by me in some way; a simple 'hello' with their screen name on it for the rest of the chatters to see I have chosen them, or for me to accept their cam broadcast. They in their own way are seeking the same acceptance/thrill/high/fantasy as I am.
There are other circumstances which add to the experience. For example, something I put closer to prostitution….paid sex shows. When I'm offered money or elaborate/expensive gifts to do the things I love to do for free. When they want me to be bad for them and for no one else and they pay to be able to direct me. When I accept their money or their gifts for that purpose, it has a similar effect in that it makes me feel powerful, but it also makes me feel slightly degraded and takes on other levels of kink and naughtiness that I can't always justify or explain.
The 'paid' show also makes me feel like I'm not in complete control, something which goes against the 'normal' reason for my enjoyment of this particular past-time. But the whole concept of lack of control also turns me on immensely. I have limits of course; having a 'menu' brings back some level of control. But over all they have paid for a service, which I now have to give. A whole new level of kink, but one that is very selective in its offerings.
Some of the things I enjoy are:- baby oil shows (often resulting in a perfectly good pair of panties being ruined), dildos, vibrators, eggs, plugs, costumes, stockings, masks, stretching all my holes wide with my fingers, practising my oral techniques on my toys, hair-removal, boots, spanking, gagging, teasing, slow strips, whips, cuffs, fruit & vegetable delights and others I can't think of right now. Suggest something, I may have done it, but you can never have too many tricks up the proverbial sleeve.
More often than not, paid or free, I'm getting off on this more than you. And when it becomes the other way around, I'll stop.

Thanks Dave.
It does. For me anyway. If I were a 6 ft tall person, I'd scale the whole thing up about 12%. That ends up with a 19 ft boat, 38 inches of vertical clearance in the cabin but also something that weighs about 40% more.
If my estimates are correct the dry weight of this design should come in around 680 lbs. Adding 240 lbs of batteries brings it to about 920 lbs. That's around my target area regarding ease of trailering, beaching and intended use.
From your suggestion I played with the cabin height. Here's a comparison by adding 3 inches to the height.
I'm not liking it - starts getting out of proportion to my eye. Better to scale the whole thing up to fit your height. In the spirit that smaller boats get used and enjoyed more often, I have optimised this design specifically for me, asking myself on all aspects what is the minimum that works for me. This is pretty much the result.
Still - you bring up a valid point. It's been considered but only selfishly, not generally.

Booklist Review
Jesse Drake isn't new to the ways of a cop. She knows personal involvement can compromise a case, but when an elderly man discovered murdered in the park is found to be a Holocaust survivor, she can't help but invest more of herself than usual in the investigation. Her own recently uncovered Jewish background helps forge her committment to the old man, whose life spins out before her on tapes he made about his wartime experiences. As she pieces together what she learns from the tapes with the activities of the man's last few days, she uncovers links to a frightened old woman and a philanthropic organization concerned with recovering property stolen from Jews by Nazis during the war. Greed is at the heart of this well-paced, low-key mystery, which offers plenty of twists and turns as it delivers an eye-opening look at some harrowing history and the evil ways men continue to exploit its victims. --Stephanie Zvirin
Publisher's Weekly Review
LAPD detective Jessica Drake isn't your usual cop. She's compassionate and sympathetic toward others, and in her third, compelling appearance (after Angel of Death, 1994), she uses a canny sixth sense and relentless investigatory drive to bring her latest case to an astonishing conclusion. The body of an elderly man has been found on a golf course, a vial of digitalis in his pocket. Did he die of a heart attack or was he murdered? Although pressed by other, high-profile crimes that need solving and not encouraged by a cost-conscious boss, after noticing concentration camp numbers on the victim's arm, Jessica painstakingly establishes his identity and retraces his steps over the past several days. By questioning several edgy and cautious managers of retirement and convalescent homes, she pieces together a horrifying scenario: someone is murdering Holocaust survivors. Worse, the Steele Foundation, a philanthropic organization founded by a Holocaust survivor and dedicated to helping survivors reclaim their assets, seems to be implicated. Is the foundation keeping some Swiss bank accounts for itself? Is the fabulous Steele art collection composed of stolen works? This is a richly textured, gripping and, at times, deeply moving novel, enhanced by Jessica's confrontation with her recently discovered Jewish identity. Admirers of mystery at its most provocative will thank the author for this bookand for bringing back one of the more intriguing detectives in the field. Agent, Sandra Dijkstra. (Jan.)

Maybe 'Party Hearty' would have been a more appropriate name that 'Heart part', although I see why. Which ever way, it's a really sweet idea, and I bet your friends had lots of fun making the film too.ReplyDelete

Very few seek out the opportunity to improve their community through community
service or realize the impact it can have on their surroundings. I
have had the opportunity to help all aspects of my community because
of my involvement in the 4-H program for nine years. Throughout the
years, I have provided free groceries to families in need, collected
and donated necessities to my local humane society, and made holiday
gift bags for residents at a local nursing home. By dedicating my
time one or two hours a month, I have been able to better people's
lives and give them faith in their community.
Being a volunteer offers endless benefits, but it can also present
difficulties. In my experiences as a volunteer, the most difficult
part has been time availability. Being an active student-athlete, it
is hard to find extra time to dedicate to the community. I wish I was
able to spend more time helping the citizens of my community. In
order to balance this downfall, I have learned to incorporate
volunteerism into my sports teams. For the past three years, I have
helped organize an annual community service project for my golf team
by collecting supplies for our local kennel. This has been one of the
best parts of volunteering because I can help my community while
influencing my friends and teammates to do the same. By far my
favorite part of volunteering though has to be the priceless reaction
I receive after helping someone. The thankfulness in their eyes is
just an experience money can't buy.
Volunteering has taught me many lessons and impacted my decision on a career. I have
learned that a little bit of time dedicated to helping other can
offer more benefits than one could ever imagine and the effects have
a lifelong impact. I believe the work I have put in to my community
will have a lasting impact for years to come because while the
physical contributions may not last, the faith of the people and the
attitude of the community will be forever altered. That is what
volunteering is all about and it has become a lifelong goal of mine
to continue to serve my community through various activities of

Insurance Policies
If there are any life assurance policies in force these will normally be found with the private papers of the deceased or they may be lodged in the bank or held by solicitors.
Immediate notification of death should be sent to the insurance company concerned with a request that they should confirm the policy is in force. The insurance company will require a certified copy of the Death Certificate.
The insurance companies have certain requirements, i.e.:
- the policy documents themselves
- sight of a certified copy of the Death Certificate
- proof of identity
- premium receipt book if applicable
- valid receipt from the legal owner
The valid receipt creates the most problems as, in most cases, the insurance company requires Probate or Letters of Administration prior to a signature being acceptable.
Any charges on the policy (House mortgage, for example) must have been discharged. Industrial Insurance Policies or those taken out by a third party on the life of the deceased can be settled before Probate or Letters of Administration. Examination of Trusts will be necessary prior to payment if the Policy is in Trust or assigned to Trustees.
A client should consult their insurance agent, solicitor or bank manager and due to delays that are inevitable, the bank manager may assist financially as a temporary measure.

A Russian billionaire is bankrolling a $100 million effort to scan the cosmos for evidence of alien life, with a bonus $1 million contest to decide what to say to them.
Alongside renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, technology investor Yuri Milner announced Monday that he will fund Breakthrough Listen — a project scientists are calling the most comprehensive attempt so far to detect signals from extraterrestrials.Milner's investment will buy time on two of the planet's most powerful and sensitive radio telescopes, and will pay for sophisticated receivers that can scan billions of radio frequencies simultaneously. Over 10 years, the project will focus on the million stars closest to Earth, as well as a hundred nearby galaxies. According to a press release, it will survey 10 times more of the sky, cover five time more of the radio spectrum and work a hundred times faster than any previous program.
Milner said the effort will produce as much data in a day as any other attempt has in a year, and all of it will be available to the public.
"More data will be open than ever in the history of science," said Milner, adding that he is banking on the "Silicon Valley approach" that uses social networks and crowdsourcing.
Hawking was also at the Royal Society, in London, to lend his support. Whatever the answer, he said, "there's no bigger question" than whether we're alone.
"In an infinite universe, there must be other occurrences of life," he said. "Or do our lights wander a lifeless cosmos — unseen beacons, announcing that here, on one rock, the universe discovered its existence? Either way … It's time to commit to finding the answer."
But Hawking warned that we should be cautious if we do find anyone. From their lofty heights, sophisticated aliens might view us as worthless, he said, suggesting that they may have few ethical qualms about eradicating or colonizing us. Since we know nothing about alien ideologies, our only guide is the bloody record of human history.
"If you look at history," he said, "encounters between civilizations with advanced and primitive technologies have gone badly for the less advanced. A civilization reading one of our messages could be billions of years ahead. If so, they will be vastly more powerful and may not see us as any more valuable than we see bacteria."
If we do choose to communicate, it wouldn't be the first time. The Voyager spacecrafts, launched in the 1970s, carry golden records with messages from Earth, including a speech by US President Jimmy Carter and whale sounds. Carl Sagan's widow, Ann Druyan, helped lead that project, and even had her brain waves included on a record. Monday, she was with Hawking and Milner to present a $1 million contest that will select the best messages to send back to anyone we find, though there's no guarantee the project will actually transmit the winner across the void.
According to Druyan, the point is to have a debate about how we want to represent ourselves as a species.
"It's a great way to develop a degree of self-awareness of what it is to be human," she said.
Participants would also be free to debate whether we should establish contact at all.
The other scientists on the panel weren't quite as worried about a looming alien apocalypse. They said circumstances were finally coming together for a breakthrough. Frank Drake, one of the pioneers of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project, was relieved to finally have a wealthy patron to help break decades of neglect.
"For once, after years of being guest observers, and poverty stricken, we will finally have stable funding so we can plan from one year to the next," he said. "We can hire talented people, and we will have the most powerful and enduring search that has ever been launched."
The scientists also said that recent discoveries have raised the probability of success. Lord Martin Rees, Baron of Ludlow and Britain's Astronomer Royal, said that technology now "allows for more sensitive searches than could be done before" and praised the "global reach" provided by citizen science and social media.
Geoffrey Marcy, a Berkeley University Astronomer who's discovered more extraterrestrial planets than anyone else, said there's now substantial evidence that at least 10 percent of the stars in our own galaxy have planets with conditions that could support life. There could be billions of Earth-like worlds in the Milky Way alone.
"I would bet my house that among the nearest 100 star systems, single celled organisms can be found and are fluorescing," he said. "Or at least I'd bet Yuri's house."
The more difficult question, the scientists said, is whether that life has evolved to the point where it could communicate with us. Even if it had, there's no guarantee it would survive for long.
Hawking put it in characteristically bleak language.
"We only need to look in the mirror to know that [intelligent life]can be very fragile and self-destructive."

Solidarity freedom hero Lech Walesa admitted Friday he had "made a mistake", but flatly denied he was ever a paid secret agent who collaborated with Poland's communist regime amid fresh allegation triggered by newly-found files.
Poland's first post-communist president — who was cleared of suspicion by a special vetting court in 2000 — did not elaborate on what his mistake was — but pointed to a mystery person who "should reveal the truth" about the past.
"They didn't break me in 1970 and I didn't cooperate with the SB (secret police), I never took money, and I never ratted on anyone either verbally or in writing," the 72-year-old Nobel Peace laureate wrote on his blog.
"I made a mistake, but not this (collaboration), and I vowed not to reveal it, certainly not yet, not now," he said, enigmatically.
But he added: "There is a person — a perpetrator, who is still alive who should reveal the truth and I'm counting on it. I had a soft heart."
The Solidarity leader is currently on a trip to Venezuela and the United States.
Poland's IPN institute responsible for prosecuting communist-era crimes on Thursday revealed a newly-found 1970s secret police file showing Walesa was a paid collaborator codenamed "Bolek".
Experts have consistently raised doubts about the credibility of communist-era secret police files, arguing they could easily have been manufactured to frame opposition activists like Walesa.
Although he previously admitted to having signed "a paper" for police during one of his many interrogations as a dissident, Walesa has always called allegations he collaborated "absurd".
The Solidarity leader in 1989 negotiated a bloodless end to communism in Poland also vowed to prove his innocence in court again.
Rumours have long swirled that he covertly fed the communist regime information while leading the freedom-fighting Solidarity, the Soviet bloc's only independent trade union.
A book published by the IPN in 2008 alleged that while the regime registered Walesa as a secret agent in December 1970, he was cut loose in June 1976 due to his "unwillingness to cooperate".
The allegations against Walesa first surfaced in 1992, two years after he was elected president.
It was then that former interior minister and current Defence Minister Antoni Macierewicz published a list of 60 suspected SB agents, including Walesa.
Although Macierewicz and Jaroslaw Kaczynski — the powerful head of the governing right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party — worked with Walesa as dissidents during the communist era, they became his sworn enemies during Walesa's presidency.
Poles have mixed feelings about Walesa. His boldness in standing up to the communist regime is still widely respected, but the combative and divisive tone of his later presidency earned him scorn in many quarters.

Still, it's wonderfully refreshing to witness a dedicated storyteller spin his web of words as Lawrence Howard demonstrates with his narration, "Shackleton's Antarctic Nightmare: The Voyage of The Endurance."
Lawrence Howard: "Shackleton's Antarctic Nightmare: The Voyage of The Endurance"
When:8 p.m. Friday-Saturday
Where: Hipbone Studio, 1847 E. Burnside St.
Tickets: $12, brownpapertickets.com
Web site: lawrencehoward.name
Just as the ancient shaman of a culture without written language memorialized the heroic deeds of ancestors in songs and stories, so Howard celebrates the brave perseverance of the British explorer. Just as the shaman helped to create a sense of group identity by linking later generations with the distant past, so Howard calls attention to generational continuity by framing his story with a description of how he and his father bonded through the shared admiration of Shackleton's unflinching courage before adversity.
In some ways, Howard may emulate ancient singers, but he does so in a genial, modern manner. There is nothing pretentious about this presentation. Dressed in blue-black slacks and turtleneck and a greyish suit jacket, Howard stands erect before us speaking with a calm enthusiasm. His energy rises and falls with the ebbs and flows of the tale. While he's often relaxed with hands before him at stomach height, palm to palm, fingers gently touching, when the story calls for it he punctuates the narration with animated gestures.
The whole performance lasts almost three hours with a 15-minute intermission, but the exciting story and Howard's easy communication style keeps us entranced from start to finish.

ooo... here's a snack idea from that website I just shared...
"Stir lemon pepper into cottage cheese for a quick and healthy vegetable dip. We like carrots and snow peas, but any crunchy vegetables you have on hand will do."
I do cottage cheese all the time with fruit, but I'm excited to try this twist!

Monday = 55 minutes (YBB, walk, sit ups and chutarungas(sp?)
Healthy snack idea = my kids and I love to make smoothies for a healthy treat. One of our favorites = 12 ice cubes, 6 strawberries, 1 banana or 1/2 if you don't want a whole, 4 oz. of orange juice (not from concentrate), and a couple of dashes (probably 2 oz.) of vanilla almond milk. If you want it sweeter use honey, stevia or blue agave to sweeten it a bit. This amount is almost a blender full, which serves my kids and I...so adjust the amounts to servings you would like:) (change ingredients to your liking:)
Also another one of our favorites is to spread peanut butter on graham crackers and dip it in almond milk. The first time I saw it, I thought it was really weird but it's delicious.
P.s. Almond milk fact: Sweetened Vanilla Almond milk = 90 calories per 8 oz serving (40 calories if you don't get the sweetened but I prefer the sweetened), compared to 110 calories per 8 oz. of 1% low fat dairy milk.
Lengthy post, sorry :/ Hope somebody could use some of it:)

Carson woke up this morning at 6am, got dressed, got his lunch and backpack ready, brushed his teeth and was ready by 6:30 :) So the kids rode their bikes, while Tressa and I ran to Safeway to get bagels and bananas for breakfast. Then we ran Carson to school... and if you were at the 3 way stop while I was yelling to my kids to "STOP AND WAIT FOR ME!!!" and unsure whether you should go or wait for the kids on their bikes, I am so sorry and so embarrassed... anyway by the time I was done running around the neighborhood with my kids, I got at least 40 minutes in. Then I did 20 minutes of Yoga.
*** 1 hour in all***
Another snack idea
Mix plain yogurt with honey, walnuts, and some fruit... I actually use elderberry juice, but I got it from my father-in-law and I'm not sure where to tell you to find it....
I think my post is longer than your post, Lexi!!! Thanks for the snack ideas. :)

I am leaving hours for the end of last week and a half. Not much because I have been sick, but I managed a little bit. I have done a little Yoga, Pilates, riding bikes to school, running to pick kids up from school, and a fabulous hike/yoga experience in Sedona! If anyone wants to go hiking, lets take a early Saturday morning and go...it does not have to be as far as Sedona!

The concept of Cerukins \ˈsē-ˈrü-ˈkinz\ began in 1997 when Sam Cosby's oldest son asked him to tell him a story. His son didn't want him to read a book; he wanted him to make up a story. The stories were about a boy and a beetle. Over time, Sam has created an entire universe called The Ceruladons, which is geared for youth and adults.
Sam's series took another turn when his second son was very colicky as a baby. He was tired of hearing his colicky baby cry night after night. Annoyed by listening to only the sound of a vacuum cleaner, he created melodic harmonies to accompany the white noise. This not only soothed his colicky son, but was enjoyable for him to listen as well. The songs he composed musically depict aspects of the Ceruladons.
Cerukins focuses on infancy and children. It takes stories of The Ceruladons and adapts them for young children. Cerukins also focus on making education fun. Songs and stories which stick in children's' minds with topic such as safety, nouns, vowels, multiplication, and the list goes on.

If there is something we '80s kids know about, it's being scared of Russians. The Cold War was looming over everyone's heads, and we were a hair-trigger button press away from nuclear annihilation. So what better film to make than one about America being invaded by Russians (and Cubans) and the start of World War III?! In John Milius' conservative's wet dream Red Dawn, 'Murica is under attack and the only people that can save the country are a band of high school teenagers and a whole lot of patriotism. Milius is no stranger to machismo filled epics, having directed Conan the Barbarian (1982) a few years prior to Red Dawn.
That is not to say that this flick isn't a blast to watch because you just cannot get any more earnest than this film. When the invasion first happens (with the fantastic opening shot of enemy troops parachuting down into a high school football field) you have a shot of a bumper sticker on a car that says "You can pry this gun from my cold, dead hands" and then it pans down to a literal dead guy's hand holding a gun. You just can't write a more compelling scene! But, seriously, there are a moments from time to time that are quite poignant and heartfelt, even though it's covered in a layer of '80s cheese.
The so-called "Wolverines" consist of Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey and some lesser actors who didn't get popular. That's like some sort of guerilla-style Brat Pack going on and they definitely take everything super serious. I can't fault them because at the time it did feel like the world could end at any minute in a flash and a boom. The cinematography is actually pretty damn good and for the most part everything is well filmed, especially the action set-pieces. At the time it was released, Red Dawn was considered the most violent film by the Guinness Book of Records with a rate of 134 acts of violence per hour, or 2.23 per minute. That's a whole lot of explosions and dead commies! When I saw this film as a child I didn't pick up on the jingoistic and nationalistic overtones but upon rewatching it, it's definitely a relic of the Reagan era for better or worse. Overall, it's so campy now that it's just fun to watch as a guilty pleasure nostalgia piece.
Video and Extras: The transfer for this film looks fantastic and it's clean and crisp. There is a slight amount of film grain present and this is the best I have seen the film look ever. If you like behind-the-scenes stuff there are plenty on here with a brand-new one unique to this set.

Roses de Chloé, by Chloé
Damask Rose · White Musk · Lychee
"As a flower, the rose is at the heart of Chloé expression. Romantic, feminine and tender, it captures the gentle spirit of the Chloé girl. As a fragrance it is airy, luminous and subtle.
Roses de Chloé begins with a delicious surge of citric bergamot, gradually warmed by a heart of damask rose essence. Magnolia adds modernity while a delicate trail of white musk and amber reflect the signatures of the original Chloé fragrance."Where to buy
Mille & Une Roses, by Lancôme
Damask Rose · Pepper· White Musk · Amber
"Created as a limited edition in time for the new millennium, 1001 Roses concentrates exceptional quality absolute and essence of Damask rose, sourced from Turkey and Bulgaria.
Adorned with ambrette seed, tangerine and pepper, this rose starts as a closed bud, still bejewelled with fresh morning dew. The closer you come to skin to breathe in its fragrance, the more the bud flourishes. Petal by petal, it generously opens out, exuding incomparable radiance.
Amber, vanilla pod and white musk then emerge, revealing their sumptuous scents on skin. The flower then takes on a subtly oriental accent, prolonging its hold and growing in body. A rare essence born of the world's finest and most noble raw materials."Where to buy
Rosa Nobile, by Acqua Di Parma
Rose · Peony · Musk
Rosabotanica, by Balenciaga
Rose · Fig Leaves · Citrus
"Rosabotanica was artfully concocted by master perfumers Olivier Polge and Jean-Christophe Herault. They defined it as "an enchanted spicy vegetal rose, sublimated and lightened up by citrus drops and white woods". It is a complex formula, a delicate alchemy of scents that combine into a subtle harmony.
The spicy and incisive head notes of pepper and citrus are tempered by a vegetal counterpoint of green and milky fig leaves. The heart note comes from the experimental rose accord that underscores the fresh and bright qualities of the flower. It is facetted with a contrasted arrangement of green hyacinth and slightly camphorated cardamom. Root notes of white wood and amber bring a rounder and more intimate nuance, an enveloping sensuality that grounds this potent blend."Where to buy
Diamonds Rose, by Emporio Armani
Rose · Raspberry · Blackcurrant
"A fresh and luminous interpretation of diamonds, as captivating and irresistible as pink diamonds.
Diamonds is a sparkling vision of a daring, charismatic and seductive woman. It is an iconic fragrance, inspired by the power and mystery of the rough stone that becomes magical in its radiance, when cut and polished to perfection. Illuminating, hypnotizing, diamonds offer the ultimate glamour. Something to be envied, coveted and shown-off. The symbol of femininity."Where to buy
Stella, by Stella McCartney
Roses · Peony · Amber
"The first scent from Stella McCartney, STELLA, is a homage to the English rose, and an effortless expression of femininity. The refined floral evokes a rose in full bloom in a traditional English garden with a sultry amber contrast. Beautiful and unapologetically feminine, STELLA's scent composition is approachable and enduring.
Soft rosy floral top notes drive the fragrance, subtly balanced with sharp, fresh mandarin essence and light peony flower.
Intensifying and elongating the opening notes, the heart is pure rose, to represent absolute femininity.
Stella's base notes give a strong, sensual finish. Resonating up through the rose accord, the masculinity of the amber contrasts the floral side, making it bold with a sensual finish."Where to buy
Sa Majesté La Rose
Turkish, Bulgarian & Moroccan Roses · Honey · Musk
"The king is dead, long live the queen!
Author Marcel Proust based his Madame de Guermantes on three society women of his day. Like Proust, I went in search of the lost land of childhood. On a quest for my rose, I charmed three royals, one Turkish, one Bulgarian and one Moroccan, for the perfect ending to my regal journey."Where to buy
Trésor Midnight Rose, by Lancôme
Raspberry, Cassis, Rose
"Capture hearts with Lancôme's mischievous and playful fragrance, Trésor Midnight Rose.
Play the game of love with this captivating scent that blends intense rose and bold blackcurrant notes with vivacious jasmine, peony and pink pepper to create a magical bouquet of floral notes.
Charming and sexy, be truly unexpected with Trésor Midnight Rose."Where to buy

The new and improved Nicole Cronje
I can't believe that I am well into my third year of working from home and following my dream! I'ts been a bit of a rollercoaster but I wouldnt take any of it back.
I've titled this blog as such because I finally have got my creative/crazy/flexible/disorganised self into a really good routine! Yay! It took two and a half years but I got there… uh.. that's the main thing right?
I am now Super Nicole, I have lists for my lists and every second of my day is scheduled and then re-scheduled in a more prioritised and practical manner! The organisation bug has filtered through into all areas of my life and I can't believe how much I am following in the footsteps of the women in my family. My Mother is organised to the point of being OCD and it was definately inherited from my Gran. My sister has always displayed the gene and I thought it had passed me over, but i think i'm just a late bloomer!
Inspiration has been flowing out of me since my last blog and my hippy girl (which turned into the artwork called 'Prayers" btw). So much so in fact that i have been neglecting my other duties such as blogging (eek) which is why I have had to re asses my timetable and actually schedule in the things I tend to procrastinate a little too much on.
I've recently set up a facebook page for my art called I HEART ART. I really like the categorisation of the layout of my work on the group. It's a lot more of a user-friendly display on how I work, my subject matter and topics that I explore with my art. I am going to be working on adjusting my website gallery to follow suit.
An interesting development in my art recently is that I have been working on pieces that are a lot larger than my normal style. My work is now stretching the limits of the A0 Ariston paper that I use.
I have just finished 'The Chandelier' and I really loved working on this piece. I will be doing a series of larger works from now on. The next artwork I will be starting tomorrow is going to be an experimentation with birdcages, butterflies and shimmering backgrounds. I'm looking forward to it!

Going through a divorce is a troubling time for any couple, both in terms of the legal issues that can often arise in regards to property and other shared assets and the emotional distress that the entire situation can cause. This is only heightened if children are involved.

Instead of putting yourself and your spouse through all of that stress and heartache, why not consider New York divorce mediation to help you get through this trying time?

Photocopying of a copyrighted book is not quite illegal
Friday April 28 2017
I have followed up presentations on photocopying and piracy on this page by Abraham Ochieng-Obunga (Saturday Nation, April 22, 2017); John Mwazemba (Saturday Nation, April 15, 2017); Jimmy Brown Mwandigha (Saturday Nation, April 8, 2017); Franklin Mukembu (Saturday Nation, April 1, 2017) and would like to add the following.
Photocopying is not synonymous with book piracy. The definition given by Mr Mwazemba, extracted from International Publishers' Association (IPA), may not be correct.
According to him, IPA defines book piracy as the unauthorised use of copyrighted works. According to this definition, any person who uses pirated works, including students, is considered to have participated in piracy. This definition is misleading.
A better definition is presented by the Oxford Dictionary, 7th edition. It defines piracy as the act of making illegal copies of video tapes, computer programs, books, etc in order to sell them. Piracy involves mass production of copyrighted materials for commercial purposes.
A student, lecturer or a teacher who produces a few pages from a book is not involved in piracy. Photocopiers are rarely used for mass reproduction of books.
According to the two definitions, book piracy and photocopying are not one and the same thing. While book piracy is illegal, photocopying of copyrighted materials is not illegal. To understand this issue clearly, we need to look at copyright, the legal right given to an author or publisher to protect his/her work from being reproduced without his/her authority.
Copyright requires that any person intending to reproduce a document or a book must get authority from the copyright owner. However copyright is now perceived differently from what the definition states.
A good copyright law is supposed to strike a balance between the economic rights of the copyright owner and the public's interest in the work. The law should ensure that the public or information user is allowed to exploit the information content in the book. The exploitation can only take place if the public is allowed to reproduce a limited amount of the work.
The Berne Copyright Convention, an international agreement on copyright, requires each member state to provide copyright exemptions for certain uses. These exemptions have come to be known as 'Exceptions and Limitations to Copyright Restrictions.' These exemptions are referred to as fair use in the US and fair dealing in Britain and the Commonwealth, including Kenya.
However in using this provision in the law, information users must ensure that such reproduction does not economically or financially disadvantage the copyright owner. To guarantee this, the reproduction is strictly confined to private or non-commercial purposes. For commercial uses one must obtain a licence or authority.
In Kenya, section 26(1) of the Copyright Act, 2001 empowers users to reproduce copyrighted works for purposes of scientific research, private study or use, criticism or review, use by the government, publicly funded libraries, scientific institutions, etc. According to this provision in the law, any person in Kenya is free to photocopy a limited amount of copyrighted documents or books.
Without these exemptions, any person wishing to cite or quote a sentence or paragraph in a book or journal would be required to contact the author or publisher. In this regard, photocopying of copyrighted works is not illegal as long as it is not for commercial use.
Also, in Kenya the law does not state the maximum amount in terms of book pages a person can photocopy at a time. However, according to section 38(3) of the Act, copyright is only infringed if a person is found in possession of two or more infringed copies of a whole document or book. Perhaps this explains why no person in Kenya has been taken to court for photocopying books in academic institutions or libraries. Nor has any person been arrested and charged for possessing single copies of pirated material.
It is important to note that copyright does not cover all literary materials. Materials for public use such as government reports, laws of Kenya, for instance, are not copyrighted. The same applies to materials whose copyright protection has expired. Materials such as Shakespeare's books and the Bible have outlived the period of protection. Any copyrighted material published over 70 years ago do not qualify for protection in Kenya. Materials whose publishers or authors are not known equally do not qualify for copyright protection.
It would be better for publishers and authors to direct all their effort to monitoring individuals and organizations in the pirate industry. These are the people whose activities have seriously affected the publishing industry.
The industry is losing billions of shillings annually from the activities of these people. The publishing industry should work closely with the Kenya Copyright Board to arrest the activities of the pirates. Publishers should not spend so much time and effort curbing photocopying in libraries and copy shops because it is legal. It does not amount to piracy. After all much of what is reproduced in copy shops in and around university campuses comprises lecture notes, hand outs, past exam papers, and government documents.

My lovely friend gave me a pass to the Estee Lauder corporate store, and I went there today and managed to pick up a few goodies for super cheap prices.
I bought the Estee Lauder Double Weat Mineral Rich Loose Powder in the shade Intensity 1.0, this cost me $10, and normally it retails for $50.
I also got a Bobby Brown Creamy Concealer Kit in Cool Sand, and this cost $24. Normally the concealer alone costs $46, so I'm not sure how much this kit costs full price but I would guess around $60.
Now onto MAC, I got a frost blush in Full Of Joy, this is an amazing colour! It gives your cheeks a pop of pink but the satin finish almost gives it a baby pink sheen in certain light... I am in love! This cost me $16, and normally costs $41. I am almost tempted to buy another one of these because the colour is so stunning.
Lastly I got a MAC mineralised eye shadow in the shade Twilight Falls. There were quite a few of these eyeshadows to choose from, but I really liked this shade because it is a nice taupe brown that isn't too silvery - I find that darker all over lid colours are more flattering on me. This cost $16 and I think these usually retail for $40.
|Full Of Joy blush
|Twilight Falls mineralised eyeshadow
|Swatch without flash: Full Of Joy, Twilight Falls and Crystal Pink
|Swatch with flash: Full Of Joy, Twilight Falls and Crystal Pink
|Crystal Pink without flash
|Crystal Pink with flash
I am loving the blush, the eyeshadow, and I was surprised that I love the lipstick as much as I do. The colour is much prettier than I expected, and I think will be a beautiful day time pink.

Activated charcoal is more versatile than you might think!
Most of you are probably sick of hearing how activated charcoal can prevent a hangover, or how it can mean the difference between life and death in case of poisoning. You might have even tried the acclaimed "black" tooth whitening method, which requires you to brush your (not so) pearly whites with black grit in order to get them bright and shiny again.
But alas, this post will not be another bore. We've found three amazing, little-known beauty uses for activated charcoal so you can start incorporating them into your beauty routine before the word gets out!
3 Great Unique Beauty Uses for Activated Charcoal
Bust Oily Skin Problems
You can use activated charcoal to tackle oily skin without risking serious side effects from pharmaceutical products that are bought over the counter.
You can also use it in a facial cleanser or face mask to help absorb excess sebum in the skin and balance things out. A mask made with activated charcoal powder and a little aloe vera gel should be used only once a week or else you'll end up with seriously dry skin. Note: steer clear of this idea if you already suffer from skin that's prone to dryness.
Want to supercharge your active charcoal mask? Try this mask with Bentonite Clay and Matcha Green Tea.
Get a Ruling Hand over Your Hair
Hair that's dirty and oily feels like it's weighing you down. The sad part is that regular shampoo might not be able to clear up all the product build-up. While normal shampoos will tackle surface dirt, activated charcoal has the ability to pull out dirt from the deeper layers of your scalp, cleansing and clearing the way for beautiful, voluminous locks.
You can also use activated charcoal powder to tackle other scalp issues like dandruff, oily, and itchy scalp. You can do this by either mixing a little activated charcoal powder into your regular shampoo or by using it as a pre-shampoo treatment for better results.
If you feel like you just have no clue how to tackle unruly hair with the helping hand of activated charcoal, you might be inspired after reading this post by Naturally Curly.
Make Your Own Mascara (and Eyeliner)
By making your own D.I.Y mascara at home, you'll be sure of exactly what you're applying to your lashes and you'll conjure up a mixture that'll darken, separate, and condition your lashes.
All you need is coconut oil and activated charcoal. Mix those two ingredients into a small container and you've created a basic natural eyeliner. You can get all the details here. Or for a solution a big more durable, try this one.
And there you have it! Three unique, super easy ways in which you can benefit from using activated charcoal in your beauty routine. All you need is a little courage, some activated carbon, and a whole lot of willingness to embrace the idea of living life in a more natural way.
How are you using activated charcoal in your health or beauty routine? Feel free to share your ideas and experiences with us. We're always looking for new ways to take natural living up a notch!

New Poll: Career Suicide
I haven't posted on the whole Chris Brown-Rihanna thing for 2 reasons. The first is that I can name a total of 3 songs between the two of them, and 2 of them have Umbrella in the title (counting the sick reggae remix), so it would have been kind of disingenuous to jump on the bandwagon. The other is that I am lazy. So, rather than think of something intelligent to write, I'm going to do a post instead. The question is simple: Does Cris Brown still have a music career?
Yes, No, or Chris Who?!?! Leave explanations in the comments.

Underated Hip-Hop Classics: There's Something About Remy
Remy Ma: There's Something About Remy
I remember bumping the hell out of this album when it first came out. I was completely shocked by how talented Remy turned out to be (having only known about her from Lean Back and the Ante Up remix). I had forgotten about it in the interim, but my cousin asked me about it yesterday, and it brought back memories. Listening to it now, I clearly see the flaws in it, but they still can't overshadow the raw awesomeness of it. She manages to easily ride, subvert, invert, conform to, personalize all of the tropes of "female" rap. Thus, while not breaking any new ground, she fertilizes the used and sometimes abused ground and makes it bear sweet fruit again. Bon Apetit.
