Your place or mine?
Last week was fairly emotional for me, as it was for much of the nation. For the first time ever, I cleared my calendar to watch a Presidential Inauguration. I am looking forward to the next 4 years. I think Obama can do it and yes, he has a lot on his plate, but he does strike me as earnest - a quality I have not previously utilized in describing our Presidents. I am anticipating his reaction to what is most likely going to be some Seriously Bad News coming out of the market today.
Okay, on to the usual triflings I spew here.
1. Two of our neighbors have put their houses on the market. Every time a new neighbor comes in, I cannot help but indulge a bit of wishful thinking. The dream that my New BFF will scoot her equally fat ass into one of those houses with her own precious progeny who magically happen to be the same ages as my own children. That she will share my unabashed love for all the HBO Series, Antiques Roadshow, HIMYM, Ugly Betty, The Office, 30 Rock, Old Christine and Househunters International. I envision scenes of us sneaking to each other's houses in the afternoons with bottles of cheap wine and boxes of Choxie tucked under our arms at 3:55, just in time for Oprah. Our children will also be BFFs and will play quietly with each other, gladly sharing theirs toys all the while saying "please" and "thankyou" as my New BFF and I drink the afternoon away. Bah. Do not judge me. I said I was dreaming.
2. Sort of related to #1 - I really, really miss spontaneity in my life. In college, my friends and I used to pick up the phone and say "Wanna come over?" and that was it. We would just get together. To get with any of my friends now requires careful coordination of schedules. I believe even some planets and moons must be aligned just so, but I have not been able to prove that theory just yet. Anyway, I miss getting together with friends haphazardly.
3. I have made no secret about the fact that I am mighty particular when it comes to dishes and the dishwasher. But please - am I the only one in America who is loathe to put plastic items in the dishwasher? I rarely put plastic in the dishwasher and therefore, handwash most of the kids' dishes. Besides all of the practical considerations of plastic melting in the hot water, I am always a little wary of the chemicals leaching, in particular after all that has been found the past few years with some of the plastics coming out of the China.

I am so lazy-I totally put the plastics in the dishwasher even though I shouldn't. In my defense, I have minimized the amount of pastic tupperware I have. Actually, what happened was that my mom and dad read about the plastic leaching in the microwave and threw 90% of mine out and bought me glass the last time they were here.
- Christine said...
I would totally be that person. Except that I've never heard of most of those shows, but I could learn! I have heard of wine.
I may not get this quote exactly right, but when Obama talked today about raising the emissions standards he said something like, "We're not going to back away from something just because it's hard." When is the last time a politician said something like THAT?? Fantastic.
I hand wash the plastic, Paul puts it in the dishwasher, so our kids are only poisoned half the time.
I just don't microwave in my plastic, that's the extent of my leaching fears. Mostly I freeze things in my plastic, so that's like totally the opposite and probably makes the plastic extrahealthy, right?
- Chocolate Covered Susan said...
The kiddos and I are always up for spontaneous get-togethers (especially those involving wine and chocolate)! We have very little on our schedule these days, and B's nap can always be sacrificed since he never sleeps well anyhow! I cannot, however, promise that any pleases or thank you's will be uttered from their sweet mouths.

i miss us, CCS, Cagey, Mojavi eattin chocolate,sippin wine......
yea those were the days... for me at least

I too switched to mostly glassware. I find the heavy Pyrex containers affordable and yet resilient enough to be launched across the kitchen with nary a scratch. I hand wash the plastic that is left but mostly because it will not dry in my dishwasher.
If you think fantasizing about a new theoretical family is bad, I fantasize about the family at the end of our road that has one little boy that is two days younger than Caleb. I have heard a lot about them and they seem perfect for us but I haven't found a casual way to meet them yet.
- CPA Mom said...
I have the same dreams every time we get a new neighbor - once a year since the house is a rental. It never, ever pans out. I always start with baked goods too. *sigh*
I miss seeing my friends too. Every.single.time we make plans, they cancel for various reasons. I'm starting to think I stink. I swear to you I bathe!
- Heather said...
oh, she sounds PERFECT! Where is she?? We have 3 (!) opportunities on our street. And after the last one came (and is not going out again) I've reduced my high hopes to a wishful: "please let them be just a little better than the last ones".

All hail to the placing of the address plaque!
Yesterday our soon-to-be new home became an actual place.
A spot on a map.
A location to be found.
There is a piece of me that is not fully convinced that this house is actually going to be ours.
We're going to have a place to settle in to.
We're going to have walls to paint. (get over it Prince Charming, it's inevitable)
And...the road to "house poor" begins due to massive amounts of landscaping, new furniture, and all those other home expenses that add up so quickly.
Words cannot describe my excitement.
The house is turning out better than I had imagined.
It's time.
It's time to call Arizona our home.
I'm ready!

2. Everyone has to do their part to make the whole that you take a part from.
3. Clean up any mess you make.
4. Leave tools and such the way you' d want to find them.
5. Flush the toilet after you use it. If it don't flush all away, flush again. Pee in the bowl. Poop in the hole. Use toilet paper to wipe your bum and wipe the other parts to if you dribble or miss.
6. Brush your teeth at least two or three or four times a day, after meals, and before you go to bed to sleep. It's good to floss.
7. Be quiet for a change, take a little time out of the day and be still, read something inspirational like the Bible and think how what you've read applies to you and those around you.
8. Wash your hands after you've been in any dirt, several times a day, more if you've a cold and certainly after you've used the toilet and before you prepare food and especially before you are going to shake hands with me or my kind. Shower or bathe daily or at least every week, and wash your hair. Use soap and shampoo whether you think you need it or not. Don't try to put deodorant over what smells bad already.
9. Get out of bed in the morning and go to bed at night unless you're working shift work. If you keep other hours than the sun or those around, respect their sleep since you're probably the one that is out of sync with the world if you're sleeping late in the day.
10. Keep the kitchen clean, wiping counters with detergent and doing dishes and helping out after family or group functions offering to help whenever because since you joined in the fun, you can join in the clean up. Vacuum or sweep and do your laundry at least once every week or two, so your clothes and your living area, be it a room or more, is clean. Cleanliness prevents disease and disease carrying bugs and rodents. You don't leave clothes on the floor so what's been on your feet or shoes don't end up on your clothes. Take out the garbage daily or weekly and don't leave any old food or foodstuffs lying around.
11. Keep a positive attitude. Being negative is easy. It's an effort for everyone, not just you, to be positive so make the effort. Nobody has a monopoly on suffering. Grow up and get over the attitude already.
12. Respect others time and be sensitive to those around you. I'm sorry if you don't have running water or detergent or a Bible or a family and hope that you'll have what you need one day and others won't waste what you want.

The Congressional Research Service released a report last month reviewing the Republicans proposed tax reform plan that would broaden the tax base, and what they found was that under their proposal the net result would be cutting taxes on the wealthiest Americans while raising taxes on the middle and lower class. The report was actually prepared by Democrats and they then sent their findings to be reviewed by nonpartisan tax experts including The Tax Policy Center. I have noticed this has received very little attention so I wanted to share some their findings.
Under the GOP plan, they would replace the current tax structure with a two bracket system (otherwise known as a flat tax) — 25% and 10% — cutting the top tax rate from the current 35% to 25%. This would benefit everyone and result in a reduction of federal tax collection by $4.5 trillion dollars. Now on its face it sounds great, the middle class would pay a 10% flat tax rate.
Here is the catch — Republicans including their golden boy Paul Ryan want to get rid of special interest tax loopholes and tax shelters.
The Republicans have declined to specify the exact loopholes they would target, but what we do know is, based on their record, they are united in opposing ending any subsidies for industries such as oil and gas.
The study found that the biggest loopholes that are currently in the system consist of tax breaks for employer-provided health insurance, mortgage interest, state and local taxes, and retirement savings, and these all disproportionately benefit the middle class.
According to the Joint Economic Committee, "although households earning $100,000 to $200,000 a year would save about $7,000 from the lower tax rates in the GOP plan, those savings would be swamped by eliminating major deductions."
This would result in married couples falling in that income range would pay an additional $2,700 annually to the IRS, on top of the tax increases Bush tax cuts that are set to expire at the end of the year. Households earning more than $1 million a year would get a tax cut of about $300,000 annually (multi-millionaires would receive a huge tax break) while people making under $200,000 will see their taxes rise.
Roberton Williams of the Tax Policy Center has reviewed the Committee's report and he says:
That even though the numbers are rough its conclusions are largely accurate. Even with eliminating fairly major tax preferences, the Ryan tax plan remains regressive. That's the bottom line. Unless you go after the tax preferences that benefit the wealthy, i.e., capital gains, dividends, tax-free interest on municipal bonds, it's really hard to undo the regressivity of the rate changes. You'll be shifting the burden of the tax code toward the middle class.
I guess there is a reason why whenever Mitt Romney and his fellow Republicans are asked to give specifics on their flat-tax plan, they refuse and then go to their usual talking points, i.e., we need to broaden the base, let everyone have skin in the game…my favorite….we can't raise taxes on the job creators, etc. This is yet another example that shows who Republicans are working for…the rich.

Yessssss more dope-wavey goodness from Siltbreeze. Came out just before the year 2008 was out and even if 2009 is definitely my jam (and this sounds like it came out in 1997 anyway) The Love Is So Fast tear it up with a muddled beat and an unparalleled squalor that'd make even Harry Pussy turn green. I love how precious their name is, it suits their mutated din because they sound like they're trying to sound like they're saying something poignant and not knowing how, this super muffled sentiment that probably was never there in the first place. Total gluey joy.

I'm so excited about this post I am having a hard time sitting in my chair as I type this. It could be the due to all the coffee I just consumed or the fact that the University of Wisconsin Badgers are in the Final Four... or maybe it's a bit of both.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin back in 2007. My time at UW was so special. The people, the feeling walking through campus in the fall, the Union terrace in the summer, lakeshore path during the spring, the energy at any UW sports event... it was all just so so good.
So I was a bit bummed yesterday because I had zero access to watch the Badgers play in the Elite Eight. Instead I followed the game via Twitter. And I am very happy that I did because it was so stressful reading everyone's comments about the game, but it was also really amazing to watch it all unfold via people's reactions to what was happening. When they won I jumped out of my chair and ran around inside my house trying not to be too loud. It was Sunday here, after all, which meant that I should have been at church, eating or sleeping... not watching sports.
You should know another interesting fact about UW: Aside from being the best university ever (in my humble opinion), the UW also ranks consistently near the top for the number of graduates who end up becoming Peace Corps Volunteers. In 2012 we were ranked #3, in 2013 we were #3, and current rankings have us at #1! So when I woke up this morning I was bound and determined to convey this love of everything Bucky-related to my students and my counterparts. We're not only Final Four bound but we're doing our part to make the world a better place!
I pretty much just needed to tell my co-teachers that my love of UW-Madison and basketball is like their love of Tonga and rugby. Once I told them that, they got it.
But teaching my students about Sconnie nation and what the Final Four is?
That was a bit trickier.
I really had to break out some major Tongan language skills this morning when I explained to the entire school what happened yesterday in America. First of all, basketball is not a sport that is played around these parts. Second, words and phrases like "tournament", "march madness" and "Frank the Tank" are not in my Tongan language skill set. What ended up happening was a lot of acting things out (good thing I have a minor in theater and drama) and cheering. Also, "On Wisconsin" (UW's fight song) may have been played... and I may have danced... and pretended to play the tuba.
Regardless, I got my point across and my students are so so excited. I hear them chattering about "Bucky" and "Bat-a-jers" (Badgers). There is one boy in particular who loves to go around saying "Frank the Taaaaaaank". It was pretty awesome to witness them all chant together during morning assembly.
|Frank the Tank is pretty awesome. (Source: Associated Press)
And even though today's English lessons might have been focused on my alma-mater and everything related to Wisconsin, my kau tama'iki ako (students) did learn something and I helped work towards fulfilling one of the Peace Corps goals: To help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served. And I have to believe a little bit of knowledge about Buckingham U. Badger counts, right?
|Here Bucky is again. He's a dancing machine!
Here's what the students in my little village think of UW-Madison and Bucky. (If you listen closely, there's a shot out to Bo Ryan and Frank the Tank!) And you can bet that this little village will be rooting for UW this week! U-rah rah Wi-scon-sin!

Brecon Beacons race 2009
After a wee holiday in the very fine Dordoigne region of France where the extent of my exercise was limited to leisurely lengths of the pool and interval training on the cheese board, I was in no fit state to have a go at this race.
Needless to say that it turned out to be my favourate hill run so far!
Any minor worries about forgetting my safety pins faded into a grin as the organiser drew race numbers onto the backs of hands. It would have been a nice deliberate touch at a very understated and low key event, except that nobody seemed to show signs of this being in any way unusual. Other concerns about my ability to navigate us across sections of fairly featureless bog weren't relevant - the sun was out and the clouds high in the sky as we set off at a steady trot.
The circular course heads out from just below the dam of the Talybont reservoir and is run in opposite directions year on year. This year was anti-clockwise.
Bracken and cropped turf sprinkled with a light dusting of pelleted sheep turds gave way to tussock and smooth curves of hillside horizons.
The cairn on top of Carn Pica - which is a fine piece of work - arrived after a couple of miles of ascent and the bog trot over Waun Rydd was unproblematic in the good visibility. We ran with a Welsh veteran along the crest above Cwm Oergwm and he told me that he'd done every one of the Beacons races, lamenting, "I used to manage under three hours but expect I'll barely get under four today." I told him I thought it was better to be slower because then there was the advantage of spending more time on the hill. "That's one way of looking at it, I suppose," he said. Ruefull.
The course bypasses Fan y Big ('no sniggering at the back Jenkins') but takes in Cribyn, Pen y Fan and Corn Du. There were many laden cadets and groups of young backpackers in evidence as well as families and other groups, all of us enjoying a fine day out in the hills.
I had pulled away from Mike over the Beacons so trotted slowly along the spittle-sprayingly monikered Rhiw yr Ysgyfarnog enjoying the views until he caught me up. The descent from the ridge to the valley floor was steep, muddy and hard on the legs.
Crossing the dam of the Lower Neuadd reservoir, I suggested to Mike that we could put on a spurt for the next mile or so as it flattened out. I was surprised when he just gave me a look.
Then I buggered up the map reading when we left the road and headed up to Pant y Creigiau. Climbing over a fence, the inside of my right thigh cramped up excruciatingly. Mike, who was going through a bad patch, struggled with a second fence at the top of the slope. By this point the Welsh veteran and his mate hove into view climbing steadily, watching our antics and making pointed comments about people taking unnecessary short cuts. Ah well, you live and learn...
There followed a grim process of digging deep and digging-in as Mike's bad patch continued to weigh him down. He hung in well though - I hope I manage as well as he did when my time comes to hit the wall. It was a case of, "run to that lump of horse crap then walk for a bit" etc etc.
The pull up the last hill, Tor y Foel, was probably pretty mirthless for Mike. I somehow managed an aesthetic appreciation of the lovely sound of the wind through the grasses.
The tall thin figure of the marshall at the final checkpoint stood out on the skyline. He had a wee radio on the cairn that was tuned-in to test match special. It was the penultimate day of the deciding test in the ashes series and he gave me a good update on how England were getting on. "Trott's doing well..."
Thankfully the race organiser had cleared and marked a way through the dense undergrowth on the lower slopes!
I followed a Walsh footprint into head high bracken and popped out onto the end of the dam. "Well done," said someone as he passed me on his warm down jog. I managed a fair pace for the last 50m or so. Called out "11" for the last time and headed for the water table to enjoy a drink and a complimentary Mr Kipling cake.
Mike came in after a couple more minutes, finishing strongly. A drink and a bite and he was right back on form!
More pictures courtesy of the crap argos camera can be viewed here.
We were 31st and 32nd out of 54 finishers. My time 4:09:55

WASHINGTON — Bankers have called Elizabeth Warren a host of names, mostly in private, after she successfully convinced President Obama and Congress to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
But former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin may have topped them all last week, when she declared Warren a communist after Democrats announced the Massachusetts Senate candidate would receive a prominent speaking role at the national convention.
"It's cracking me up watching what the Democrats, this idiotic strategy of theirs, to have Elizabeth Warren, who has almost confessed to her Marxist views," Palin told Fox News. "These views that replicate failed European countries about redistribution of wealth, you know, and all these failed policies and she is going to be the face of that message in the convention."
Palin referred to comments Warren has made — and Obama has echoed — that said private sector success is usually enabled by government spending and infrastructure. Republicans have tried to use the remarks against Warren, who is locked in a tight election contest with Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass.
Indeed, Fox News hosted 17 segments and spent more than 43 minutes of airtime blasting Warren over a three-day period after the Democratic National Committee selected her as a keynote speaker, according to liberal group Media Matters.

I bought these lovely chanterelles from the market last week and decided to cook them simply....lots of good butter (I use unsalted cultured butter), shallots, garlic and some dry thyme from last summer's garden. I like to use dried thyme instead of fresh, I find it has a more intense flavour. Then I grated some Pecorino Romano cheese over top and popped them in the oven for a few minutes until bubbly. Mmmmmmm!

The Meramac series tents are all free standing 2-pole designs with shock corded fiberglass or aluminum ferrules. The ferrules are the "connectors" that hold the poles together and we use aluminum, rather than steel, because aluminum can never rust. Our fiberglass poles are also normally one size larger than normal to offer you a sturdier, stronger tent. We use lightweight but strong polyester fabrics. The walls are uncoated so the tent can "breathe" under the urethane coated fly. The fly uses a pole in the top, which gives you an awning over each door for excellent rain protection. Our fly is full length on the sides, not 3/4 length like some others, for better weather protection. We even have our factory seal the seams on the floor and fly for maximum water repellency. Entry and exit are enhanced with 2 doors, which means if you have to get out at night, you don't need to crawl over the others to get to the only door. The second door is also nice for extra ventilation in hot, muggy weather. Our door zippers are a #8, which is one size larger than most, for extra durability. Mesh storage pockets and a gear loft are included to help you keep your gear organized.
- Free Standing 2 Pole Design with Shock Corded Fiberglass Poles
- Easy Assembly with Pole Clips that quickly snap over the tent poles
- 75D 185T Polyester Fly resists UV damage and stays taut
- Factory Sealed Fly & Floor Seams give best weather protection
- 75D 185T Taffeta Floor with 1500mm Coating
- Extra Large #8 Zippers on both doors for extra durability
- Easy Entry with 2 Doors and "single zip operation"
- Great Ventilation with 2 zippered windows (in the doors) and large side mesh panels
- Weatherproof Fly with a Ridge Pole provides an Awning over each Door

This week was a pretty normal week. Elder Goldstrohm and I spent most of our time finding new people to teach. We met a family that was able to come to church and the mother is not a member yet. The best part was that the lesson in Sunday school was on prayer. So at the end of the meeting, we asked her to pray about being baptized into the Church. She accepted our invitation and told us that she would pray about it. We can't wait to go back this week!
Last week, I talked about G and the miracle of finding him. For those of you that have been missionaries before, you know the importance of staying in touch with those you are teaching. Well, it has been great that he is so open because he keeps us informed of his schedule. He told us he was not going to be at church this week due to a business meeting, so we are going to be meeting with him tonight. I am excited for the lesson we have tonight because we are bringing a Brother Bostic from the ward that we think is going to really be a great benefit. He is way strong in his testimony and has a tremendous love for the Lord. He is a convert to the church himself and has brought almost all of his family with him. Just to show an example of how dedicated he is to the Lord:
Last week he brought his sister and her four other family members into the church and was able to baptize them. Then this past week we told him that we wanted his help fellowshipping G into the ward. The day that the meeting was scheduled, he was run off the road by a bus and was forced to crash his bike on the side of the road to escape the hit. He ended up in crutches and busted his knee. But sure enough he is still coming to the lesson with us tonight! What great faith!? I heard a quote that I think really goes with this story- "Who is going to work harder today? Me or Satan?"
Well, I hope that you all have a great week!

Here is a picture of this random guy that was just running around in a dinosaur suit in the middle of the neighborhood chasing people. When we asked what he was doing, he said: "Just trying to amuse myself." Hahahah! #PeopleofTacoma

Scandal forced Lady Lily Melrose into an untenable decision: marry the man she wanted but who wanted someone else or leave her home for America. She gambled and stayed. Now, almost four years later, Lily is ready to gamble again—on a future that means leaving her neglectful, absent husband behind. But when a deadly adversary threatens them both, Lily realizes how little she understood about her husband—and her marriage. She's faced with another impossible choice: leave the man she loved to face certain death or stay and fight to help him deliver on a promise he no longer remembers.
Robert Melrose was raised as the forgotten third-born son with no future—without even the label of black sheep to keep him respectable. Not content with obscurity, he cultivated his own path to power, aligning himself with a world where betrayal is deadly. But when an accident wipes away his past, Robert can't remember who he is or what he's done. What he does know is that his wife, Lily, evokes a strong need inside—a need to prove he's better than his past. But when his past becomes a present danger, Robert must choose: gain the trust and love of the woman intent on leaving or let her walk away from him and the danger that might cost both their lives.

Scratch 'n' Sue
A recent posting on an obscure but very delicious gossip site, DoubleAgent.com, starts off with the best lede that journalism has, possibly, ever seen: "Although it may seem so, everything is not perfect for Paris Hilton and her fiancée [sic], Paris Latsis..." Awww. And you'll never guess why: Paris--the girl--is being sued by Paris--the boy's--ex-girlfriend. Zeta Graff, the ex of Paris I Can't Believe He's Hetero Latsis, claims the Hilton "camp" is planting all sorts of nasties about her in the press. So she's suing for $10 mill.
But it gets even more genius than that. Zeta Graff--yes, Graff like the diamonds--was once married to a Graff scion (does marriage last anywhere anymore?). Aside from the fact that Zeta probably already has baubles and dollars up the wazoo, Paris I Can't Believe She Can Cross the Street Alone She's So Stupid Hilton was wearing a $4 million Graff necklace the night of a Zeta-Paris melee, and Paris claims that Zeta tried to rip it off. The rich are so silly--can't they just be happy with their own Graff? Why do they always gotta take other people's Graff?
The best part is Paris Hilton's alleged rejoinder to Zeta, the kind of sophisticated reply that all of us should learn to toss off to our frenemies with the same poise: "You're a [bleep]ing [bleep]. I'm going to destroy you."

The canine reproductive system is different than that of a primate. Primates have a menstrual cycle, while sexually mature bitches typically have an oestrus cycle, otherwise known as a season, every six to eight months. During the oestrus cycle, the bitch's body becomes ready for impregnation. During this phase of the cycle, excess hormones can cause the dog's body to function as if it were carrying a litter. This phenomenon is known as phantom pregnancy.
Behavioural Change
Although phantom pregnancy is not life threatening and typically subsides when the hormonal balance normalises, dogs may show signs of depression and lethargy. Any behaviour that is normally associated with pregnant bitches is normal during a phantom pregnancy, including signs of labour.
During phantom pregnancy, the dog's hormone imbalance causes its mammary glands to become active and begin to produce milk. When this occurs, the nipples become swollen and may become tender. The duration of lactation depends on the severity of the hormone imbalance and the dog's sensitivity to its hormone production. In some severe cases, when the dog is in discomfort, a veterinarian may have to manually milk the teats to relieve the pain.
Abdominal Swelling
The canine's body responds to phantom pregnancy in the way it would to a normal pregnancy. The excess hormones that are produced tell the body to prepare to carry a litter. This can result in abdominal distension. The bitch may take on the appearance of a fully pregnant dog, and the stomach may expand.
During a phantom pregnancy, just as with a normal pregnancy, nesting begins toward the end of gestation. Typically, bitches will prepare an area where they feel safe to give birth–away from noise, foot traffic and perceived danger. It is common for bitches to use their bed for nesting, and they may carry cushions, blankets and even clothes to the nest to make it more comfortable. Due to the imbalance of hormones during a phantom pregnancy, the nesting instinct is unpredictable and may occur significantly earlier than it would during a normal pregnancy.
A bitch experiencing a phantom pregnancy may develop maternal instincts. This often causes her to mother inanimate objects such as teddy bears, shoes or clothes. If you find objects that are easily carried in a dog's mouth in the dog's bed or any area that could be used for nesting, it is a sign the dog is mothering. The bitch may position herself among these objects and in areas where foot traffic is high, such as a doorway, in order to protect them from harm.

The swarm thusfar...
Zig and I also had another StarDust Ground playtest. It was more of a scenario balance test than a game mechanics test. Regardless, it was a fun game and I took some pics. No full AAR this time.
I drove the bugs this time. I had a long slog going across the table length-wise but also had plenty of cover.
The first evac chopper arrives.
My bugs make contact
And make short work of the humans.
The second evacuation craft arrives. Things are getting dicey for the Red Guard now!
The last Red Guard squad tries to hold out!
But is beset by the horrific space-worms and wiped out.
Game over, man! Game over! Zig did manage to evacuate six stands - not bad. A third load of troops would have been difficult given the situation.
Ziggy didn't realize he could have moved his guys out to the islets off the shore - I should have explained that a bit better. I'm still left with a couple of questions in my mind about the scenario, but it worked pretty well as it was. I'm still very pleased with the game system itself and don't need to make any adjustments to the rules based on the results of the game! That's very positive.

Welcome to The Silk Road!
Search the Silk Road for everything from Silk Damask to Silk Taffeta. Something for every seamstress and fine tailor exists along The Silk Road.
From it's beginning in China, Silk was labeled a luxury item. Yet Silk was common enough to be used as payment on the trade routes. While Silk was a trade good, its construction and production was very tightly controlled. Ultimately, smuggling the cocoons or even Mulberry cuttings from China was an instant death sentence. Due to this control, China grew very rich trading on her exclusive luxury good. So from China, to Persia, to Rome, the Silk Road ran it's long winding course.
In the 5th century C.E., the Emperor Justinian of the Byzantine Empire, finally managed to break the monopoly. Justinian commissioned two monks to discover the secrets of silk. And they were successful. They managed to smuggle a single Mulberry branch with just a handful of precious silk cocoons out of China, hidden in a walking staff.
From there, silk spread like wildfire, and was widely traded through Persia, eastern Europe, and in to Northern Europe. Then, in the 11th Century, crusaders began returning from Jerusalem by way of Damascus Syria. While in Damascus, the Crusader's discovered a new silk weave. Damask Weave used a combination of plain and satin weaves to create monochrome designs. Silk Damask became a sought after luxury item. Silk Damask became the must have fashion fabric for European nobles, catapulting Silk in to favor with Western European Nobility.
When Byzantium fell in 1453, the silk weavers and traders fled the Ottoman hoard to Venice, Italy, and Lyon, France. The Italians hold a very strong silk weaving community even to today. But the silk weavers who settled in Lyon France eventually adopted a new protestant religion. Huguenots were heavily persecuted in Catholic France. This led the master Silk weavers of Lyon to emigrate again, settling in the Spitalfields district of London, England. The Spitalfield's Silk Weavers were supreme masters for 100 years. Until a Frenchman, Joseph Marie Jacquard, invented a new loom. This advancement led to the demise of Spitalfield's. The new technology allowed the French to produce silk at twice the rate of the English master's!
Silk is now a globally manufactured and traded fabric. Yet most seamstresses and home Couturier's are scared to work with Silk. Silk is NOT Scary! The Japanese used it as messenger capes, catching and deflecting arrows. The military used it for parachutes up until World War II. Silk washes easily at home. Ignore the Dry Clean Only label! It's neither dry, nor good for Silk, utilizing chemicals which can strip Silk of it's natural luster. And Damask Raven is dedicated to showing how easy silk is to maintain, clean, and work with. Most of all, silk is beautiful. Silk is lustrous, soft, and drapes beautifully.
Damask Raven specializes in locating replications and in recreating these historical silk fabrics for fashionable ladies and gentlemen to attire themselves in. From the Society for Creative Anachronism to Steampunk; Renaissance Faires to Costume College; Cosplay to Rockabilly. Shop with Damask Raven, and create History in Style.

I promise I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I've just been busy being a mom!! And also working on my new blog. I came up with the new title and whatnot for my blog about a year ago, but when one my dear friends came up with her new blog title that was very close to it, I decided to sit tight and let her blog get's it word out. I decided not to change the new title, even though it matched so close to hers and she got hers our first, because I love the new title way too much. And if I hadn't had to have had (tongue twister :) ) an emergency c-section, which completely stole all and any engergy I would've had left over from just becoming a new mom, I would've had it out sooner. I only hope my friend won't be mad at me for still using my title. I told her as soon as I saw her title what a funny it was, so hopefully that'll get me slack :)
Anyhow, check it out and start following my new blog! it's lovinglifeincowboyboots.blogspot.com

"It is not good that he who makes the law should execute it or that the body of the people should turn its attention away from general perspectives and give it to particular objects. Nothing is more dangerous in public affairs than the influence of private interests, and the abuse of the law by the government is a lesser evil than that corruption of the legislator which inevitably results from the pursuit of private interests. When this happens, the state is corrupted in its very substance and no reform is possible. A people which never misused the powers of government would never misuse independence, and a people which always governed itself well would not need to be governed."
Of which the key point to ponder is:
"... the abuse of the law by the government is a lesser evil than that corruption of the legislator which inevitably results from the pursuit of private interests."
Having just come through a time when our government has evidenced both such evil's... abuse of law and corruption of the legislators... it is worth pondering his view.
Abuse of law has been horrendous. At first blush it seems to be easily the worst of these two evils. And indeed, I think that is true.
However, Rousseau's point here appears to be that the one comes before the other and makes the second not only possible but subsequently impossible to get rid of. I think this is true.
Corruption of our legislature by moneyed interests has weakened our democracy greatly. It has broken down the rule of law. It has led to alteration of our law, tax code, oversight and such to the benefit of the few over the needs of the many. It has created an environment of government for sale and one of power for powers sake in a dog eat dog environment where the idea that he who dies with then most toys wins.
This is where the abuse of law in government comes from, this is what makes it possible. In an environment where the legislature was pure (or relatively pure), where money spoke no louder then poverty, law would be crafted towards the needs of the many not the wants of the few. Government policy would be geared towards the good of all not towards the greed of the few.
The needs of the many require that power be kept in check. Hence foreign wars of adventure and profit for the moneyed class would not be allowed. Principles of democracy would be sustained and advanced at home and would form the basis of foreign policy abroad rather than principles of hegemony and empire.
Hegemony and empire are structures of power. They have no place in the democracy of the many. They exist only in a world governed by the power games of the few. No hegemonic dreams, no glories of empire mean no torture of opponents, no creation of an atmosphere of terror to oppress the masses, no slaughter of innocents, no invasion of the rights and privacies of citizens at home.
Corruption of the legislator weakens the legislature. The strongest branch of government here in America was intended to be the legislative branch. A weakened legislature leads to a power shift towards the executive. There are benefits to a strong executive. However, the executive is by nature a branch of individual power rather than government by the law of the many. And power tends to corrupt. Even the best person in possession of that much power will almost inevitably succumb to at least some temptation of power over law. A lower quality individual will succumb to such temptations quite rapidly and in full. Frankly, they will likely arrive in office having already done so.
So, in attempting to solve the problems we have been experiencing in government it is necessary to take a two pronged approach. The first is what I call the band-aid approach. Immediately apply remedies to the problems at hand. An example of this would be to review all the signing statements and executive orders of the Bush/Cheney administration as well as the Office of Legal Counsel documents, immediately abrogating the obviously illegal, unethical or immoral ones. These are band-aids to stop the immediate bleeding.
The second prong is the most important and that is to get to the root cause and correct it so that such abuses of power do not recur. This means focusing on the legislative branch and the manners in which it becomes corrupted. This leads immediately to the influence of money. Money influences in many ways. In reviewing the McCain-Feingold campaign financing law the Supreme Court recognized correctly that money is like water, it will always find the cracks. This is true but it does not mean that reform, restriction and control are not possible. Quite the opposite. It means that the system needs to be structured in such a way as to best limit the cracks. It also means a constant review and audit of policies and procedures in order to find, monitor and plug the cracks before they break open the dam.
The influence of money is perhaps greatest in the electoral system itself. Most members of Congress are of the moneyed class. Political campaigns are won in virtually every case by the campaign that spends the most money. Consequently politicians spend more time raising money in campaigns then they do talking with the citizens they are supposed to represent.
There are those who argue that campaign finance limitations are unconstitutional. If this is so then this is a clear case where the Constitution needs amending. The influence of money is a grave danger to our form of government.
"Nothing is more dangerous in public affairs than the influence of private interests, and the abuse of the law by the government is a lesser evil than that corruption of the legislator which inevitably results from the pursuit of private interests. When this happens, the state is corrupted in its very substance and no reform is possible."

Duzmo motorbikes were manufactured from 1919 to 1923. The company name is said to be a humorous take of "does more." The original Duzmo engine seen above was relatively advanced in design for the times and was a 496cc SOHV single with a detachable head, an aluminium piston, and was pressure lubed.
The founder of Duzmo was John Wallace, who had been obsessed with motorbikes since visiting a motorcycle exhibition when he was 15. At 17 he managed to get work as a test rider for J.A. Prestwich. John raced at Brooklands but was fired when his young age was discovered.
He spent years studying engineering and in 1918 Wallace began to design a high performance motorcycle engine.
He advertised his engine to any firm wishing to diversify after their war contracts had ended. The Portable Tool & Engineering Company hired Wallace as Chief Designer, planning to sell his engines to other motorcycle manufacturers.
In 1920 a prototype OHV 50-degree V-twin was built. It was the same 496cc single doubled up and had a whopping 8 horsepower. The machine's success was more than the Portable Tool & Engineering Company could handle and they sold out to Wallace. With that, the Duzmo brand was born.
The Duzmo's from 1920 were 496cc belt-driven single engines produced by The Advance Motor Manufacturing Co. These machines developed through 1922 with the introduction of a Sturmey Archer gearbox and an all-chain drive. At this point, the 992cc V-twin was produced and fitted with a sidecar which took part in the Brooklands 200 Mile Sidecar Race.
Unfortunately the bike never won and sometimes did not finish. The lack of track success and a souring economy contributed to a lack of new orders. In 1923 only one bike was made, the one pictured at the top of this article. It was the same 496cc, 3.5 horsepower single that was now forward-inclined. You can see this bike at the Whitewebbs Museum of Transport in Enfield, about 20 miles north of London.

|Seen here with actress Beatriz Michelena in Salomy Jane (1914).
Early film actor Matt B. Snyder was born on this date. At this time, his place of birth is not known, but it is likely to have been somewhere in the northeastern United States, as he served in the US Navy during the Civil War. How he got his start in acting is also not known, but by at least the 1890's he was acting on the stage. He performed mostly with his wife, both on Broadway and on tours. His first appearance in the film came quite late in his life in 1913. He played a police inspector in The Cub Reporter's Temptation. He enjoyed a major role in Herbert Brenon's 1913 rendition of Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The last film that he is listed as acting in was The Garden Of Allah (1916); but apparently a civil war drama shot before this film--The Crisis--was released after Synder's death (a copy of this film reportedly survives in the Library of Congress). Matt Snyder died on the 17th of January in 1917; at the time of his death, at 81, he was listed as the oldest person in the movie industry. Though he died in San Francisco, California, no details as to his burial seemed to have survived.

Don't Panic.
Kudos to you if you get the reference
The Basics:When the game begins, everyone is given a random name. You will be assigned the job of Sheriff (you receive a gun), Murderer (you receive a knife), and Innocent (everyone else, you receive nothing). This guide assumes that you have basic knowledge of the game.
The Murderer:You have to think like an innocent. The main rule of being the murderer is "Don't Panic." If you start to freak out, you will probably kill someone in the open, not catch someone when you intend to. You have to stay focused. In the beginning of the game, get an idea of where people are spread. If you can single someone off by themselves, go for it. Be careful, though. If you are talking to someone and they die, anyone could put two and two together and realize it is you. There are two tactics you can employ to win.
Sociopath Tactic: If you are good enough as the murderer, you might be able to get away with this. Else, you will have no chance. Immediately discover who has the gun. Inexperienced users will hold out their gun and walk around. Follow them around, befriend them, and when they are out in the open (it doesn't matter HOW many witnesses there are, so long as they are about 5 studs away). Murder that gun-wielding maniac and guard the dropped gun with your life. You can pretty much spin and swing your knife and get away with it, but some people are smart. They just realize that they can run out the timer. If you try to chase them down, one can grab the gun. Know that you can throw the gun by holding click for a second and aiming, play it smart, and you should be able to win.
Lesser-Sociopath Tactic: For the people who aren't gifted with the inner ability to think like a genocidal maniac. No matter what, always:
- Restrain yourself from panicking.
- Only kill if you are within one or two studs of the person, and if there are no witnesses at all (does not matter near end of game).
- Know who has the gun, and never be near them when you kill.
The first thing you want to do is find someone who is wandering by themselves. Track them down for a bit, and then rip them apart. Take them down one at a time, don't be ambitious. If you are discovered, either play dumb or murder as many people as you can in a futile attempt to win.
The Sheriff:You spawn with a gun in your inventory and see a blue GUI telling you to kill the murderer. Excited, you pull out your gun and start looking around. You have already made a mistake. Any decent murderer will immediately try to find the person with the gun first. If you hold out that gun you will be either the first person dead, or the murderer will stay so far away from you that you won't witness a thing. No matter how many times an innocent screams for someone to say if they have the gun, you have to keep quiet about it. There isn't much to say about being Sheriff, you are just an innocent with a weapon.
The Innocent:
Map Specific Tips:
- If the gun is dropped on a map , there is a likely chance the murderer will guard it. Get on the roof above the gun, and drop down on it and run.
- On the laboratory map, it is easy to kill unnoticed as murderer. The only problem is that you have to track down the innocents and will run out of time. Do not waste your time, and start killing right away (don't be too hasty and be caught, though).
- Any good murderer should be able to win on the office easily. It is very small, confined, and yet there are many walls that can conceal your blood-lust.
- On the city map, you can hide in the trees as an innocent and be almost completely concealed.
Of course, this guide isn't even complete and might never be. The game hasn't even officially left beta stages.

Ajami was the language of scholarship in KanemBorno, through which religious knowledge is imparted to students. Therefore, Ajamization was in place even before the coming of the Europeans to the Kanem land. Ajami is not used for language of scholarship and skill acquisition only but it serves enormous roles in adult education, political education as well as mass literacy in general. It also serves as a medium for integration of Qur'anic (Sangaya) education into formal western type of education. So that product of Qur'anic education can be elected into various political offices. They too can contribute in political administration and governance of their nations. Against this backdrop, this paper reviews various Ajami writing system among the Kanuri speaking communities with a view to harmonise the divergent spellings and writing practices.

Well kids - it's been FAR TOO LONG since I posted a personal blog.
The column at Airlock Alpha is going well (At least I hope it is, I haven't received any complaint to date!) and there's some great news on the horizon over there. I'm not allowed to talk about it yet, but keep your eyes peeled at AIRLOCK ALPHA in the coming week or so to see what's the haps!
Also - TREK UNITED (my first blog home) was sold to Russ Haslage and a few wonderful co-investors over the weekend. I was busy writing up my own offer to buy the site when they announced that a deal was sealed.
I may write about that in my next AA column.
HOWEVER - Today a promise must be kept and a pledge must be adhered to!
A few months ago I promised to dedicate my personal blog to ADA LOVELACE! FINDING ADA is the site that is asking bloggers to make sure that her history and memory remain alive.
Who was Ada Lovelace you ask? She was, simply, the WOMAN who essentially developed one of the first, if not the first, computer programs really.
A woman of what was then considered "fine breeding" - the daughter of Lord Byron, and after her marriage became known as the Countess Lovelace.
I grew up with stories of her - but my grandmother referred to her as "Ada Byron." I think it had something to do with a fashion of suffragettes to keep their own or refer to other women by their maiden names. *shrugs* In any event - that's how I grew up learning about her.
Ada Byron became one of many women that were used to make sure that I would never fall into the societal trap that my intelligence was somehow less than a man's by the pure existence of their penises.
No - seriously. Those words were spoken. "Remember Terry - penises do not mean intelligence. They don't mean stupid either, but they definitely are not a requirement for intelligence."
My grandmother may have thought herself some form of matriarch, but there were those days that her advice kicked the shit out my parents'.
In any event, besides being the descendant of a suffragette myself (my great-great grandmother was Elizabeth Boynton Harbert - founder of the Evanston Women's Association in Illinois) I never really took an interest in anything that was "girlie" any way.
I hated dresses. I loved sports. I adored biology and certain forms of math (geometry especially) as well as
Dun Dun Dunnn......
Science Fiction!
I was just saying this week that my first sci-fi book, and the reason I love all things sci-fi was a book - WRITTEN BY A WOMAN - "A Wrinkle in Time."
I never, ever thought that women weren't somehow already accepted into sci-fi. I was naive enough to think that we were always seen as equal.
I still believe that, I just have a better understanding that there are still a LOT of hurdles to jump to really just be accepted in society. Not for being a woman - but just for being human.
But if my grandmother hadn't have shown me anything about a woman who broke the ultimate mold by just being who she was - a woman of society who was not swayed by the male-dominated times and still shamelessly exhibited her intelligence to her male counterparts - I'm not so sure I'd be so vocal about my own opinions on women's (and human) rights today.
I will always call her Ada Byron. I just will. Maybe as more of a nod to my fiery grandmother's memory than for any other reason. But I have to show you all - and I can only hope that it totally triples my geek cred....
But many of you know that I started playing the MMORPG, "Star Trek Online" when it began a couple of months ago.
In this game - you are assigned a vessel to command, however you are also allowed to select the name of your vessel.
It should come as no surprise to you that my first vessel was happily named:
Here she is! HAPPY ADA LOVELACE DAY!

Welcome to a new feature on The Cold End where every Sunday at 3pm we crown the local non-league team of the weekend. Today it was really close between four teams - one being from the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division, one from the Ryman Premier Division and two from the Ryman Division One (South).
In the SSMFL fourth placed Cockfosters went to runaway leader's London Colney who had only lost one league game in their seventeen played so far. 'Fosters went down to ten men on 35 minutes but still managed to win by a score of 2-3 thanks to goals from Ben Hart, Ioannis Varouxakis and Bobby Sears.
In RD1(S) the table topper's Dorking Wanderers on an unbeaten league run of seven games welcomed 23rd placed Three Bridges who had only won only two in nineteen games so far. The Bridges recorded an unlikely 0-1 victory thanks to Tony Garrod's 76th minute goal.
South Park visited Vanarama South side Oxford City in the FA Trophy Third Qualifying Round. It was a great day for the Ryman D1(s) side as they won 1-2 against a side two steps above them in the non-league pyramid. Kieran Lavery and Joe Jackson were the scorers for the underdogs.
In the Ryman Premier Division Hendon continued their improved form of late recording an excellent 0-2 victory at Bognor Regis Town. Their second victory at title challenger's in as many Saturdays. Keagan Cole and Luke Tingey scored the all important goals for Gary McCann's side.
In the end, The Sparks with their amazing away-day victory, just shaded it. To go to a team two steps above them and win is well worthy of the award. They have beaten Guernsey, Faversham Town, Hastings United and now Oxford City in their 2016/17 FA Trophy run. Good Luck to them in the First Round where they stand a chance of drawing a Vanarama National League side.

A pre-Christmas dip in the frog pond
"Jorthy, Jorthy, Jorthy. Can you feel me shaking my head? Surely you should know better than to attempt a piece of knitting that requires more than a smidge of concentration when you have a gazillion other things buzzing around that noggin of yours, all clamouring for your attention. You were bound to make a mistake!
To the frog pond, young lady, and rip it out and start again. And don't even think about bleating about how you are only two stitches off, and nobody would notice. YOU would notice, and it will bug you to kingdom come unless you fix it.
Oh, there there. Don't you be crying now. Really, you were never going to get it finished for Christmas. Aim for New Year, instead. There's a good girl."
The knitting god sat back down, and rested against the mountainside, whilst on her couch Jorth wondered with a sigh if there really was a voice in the wind telling her what she ought to be doing, or if she just had a particularly loud knitting conscience. Pulling the needle out she began to unravel the stitches, reflecting that if a job was worth doing it was worth doing well, but nagdammit it would be nice to let a mistake slide just once or twice!

Ah, 'that' frog pond! (Once you've pulled the needle out, it becomes easier though doesn't it?)ReplyDelete
I've been going through my unfinished knitting projects - there are quite a few that I know I'll never wear, so I'll never complete them, and I can think of something a lot better to make from the yarn - so I could be frogging shortly too!
Knitting and yapping (with me) are never a good mix!ReplyDelete
I need to do some frogging too.

I found some old Torah on the internet from my dear Chavrusa Yonatan, who died a while back. Yonatan was one of my best friends of all time, and his Torah only gets louder and clearer as the days trickle on. It was him who broke me into yeshiva learning; countless hours of him teaching me the true path to learning Torah, the Yonatan way. He was an African-American Chasidic Jew straight out of Compton...the Compton [L.A.]
As I am nearing completion of Shir HaShirim [5 years in the making], I am honing in on its message. Most are aware of the Love theme in the Book, and I think Yonatan answered for me just what "its" all about.
In the words of Yonatan, in reference to God's Greatness, "Who!!!!! Would have thought, to create a kiss?
It seems that Shlomo HaMelech wanted to know the same question, i.e. Shir HaShirim.
Here is more Torah I found by Yonatan, and again, he was right.
by Jonathan Streetsong
Jews of Color
It is commonly known that the woman is spiritually higher than the man. Some people feel that men are physically stronger than women. Yet in fact the opposite is true! How do we know this? When Moshe was on Sinai and asked to see HaShem, HaShem replied that I will let you see My back but My face you cannot see. The English would imply that HaShem has a backside and a face hashveshalom. In the Hebrew the word 'panim' can have various meanings. One of them is internal. The word 'ahar' translated into English would be 'back' implying that there is a back of HaShem hashveshalom. But in Hebrew it can be also mean external. So if we use the more accurate translation for this situation He would have said you can see My external side but not My internal. From this it is be understood that there is a masculine aspect of G-dliness and a feminine aspect of G-dliness. It is reflected in the physical world in the physical body, in the form of the mans body is external and the form of the woman's body is internal. It is also reflected in their different roles that they play in life. The home [the internal] is the domain of the woman whereas the external is reflected in the man whereas he goes 'out' into the world to make a living. This is not to say as some cultures may believe that a woman should not have a job. It says in Ashet Hiyeel that she considers a field and buys it: from her earnings she plants a vineyard. This implies that she is involved in real estate so there is such thing as a business woman. Yet her domain in truth is the home and the fact is that she can actually do both.
The point of this is to break the myth of what people may think a woman truly is. The ideal and not necessarily for every situation is to give her the decision of what she wants to do. Some women don't mind working while the man learns full time. Some people think that is unfair or cruel but it's not true. It takes deep understanding of each and every situation in order to balance each and everyone's personal life and live it to the fullest in comfort and joy. But back to the point how is the woman 'definitively' physically stronger than the man? It would seem that from the 'external' view that the man is stronger than the woman using the 'concept of averages', most men are stronger than women. But this is the external view. Even that is debatable because the strongest person in the world could be a woman. Do we know who is the strongest person in the world? However the subject that we are want to deal with is is "actual" strength. But first let's come to the true definition of what is strength. Man's basic energy comes from food, bottom line. Although on a deeper level that's not true. HaShem can give life without food if He desires. But on the simple physical level strength comes from food. So what is the one thing that a woman's body can do that a man's can't? Have a baby? No, that doesn't count because she has to have the male seed in order to do that. The thing that a women's body can do that a man's can't is feed two bodies. A man can not do that. Isn't that a phenomena? The body of a woman can produce sustenance!
Therefore the ultimate truth of the the matter is that woman's body is in fact physically stronger than man's. In some circles it's been heard women speak about the bracha, "Blessed are You G-d who has not made me a woman. Some say it doesn't seem fair to have such a blessing. For those who understand the meaning behind this bracha it is enough. For those who feel that it is questionable here is an interpretation that was heard that may make it easier to understand. Blessed are You G-d who did not make me a woman because if you have made me a woman I would not be able to experience all of the joy and pleasure that a woman has to bring.
Maspeak l'haven: A word to the wise is sufficient.
Thank you Yonatan for answering Shlomo's riddle, otherwise known as Shir HaShirim. I just call it Yonatan's Torah: Being in Love with God, the Torah way.
Here is a mushel that I think drives home this point.

Mat Staver from the Liberty Counsel has some nerve.
On this "Faith and Freedom" radio show, Mat said that if Houston's mayor Annise Parker can't do her job, she should resign.
Mat said:
"That is like a CEO of a company who says you need to boycott our company," Staver said, "stop buying products from our company because we have a policy that I, the CEO, don't agree with even though the board of directors has ultimately voted for this policy, so stop patronizing our company. Well, you know what, if that's what your feeling is, resign from the company. Mayor, if you want people to boycott Houston, why don't you just resign and let somebody else who wants to run the mayor's office and represent the city of Houston and all of the taxpayers and citizens of Houston? Why don't you just let someone else do it because, frankly, you haven't been doing a very good job."Wait.. Wait a minute. How is he going to tell her to do her job, when he's supporting Kim Davis to do the oppositie? The Hypocrisy is so thick. Seriously, Mat look at your own backyard, boo boo.
Listen to the interview here
