There has been a lot of talk lately about alpha males and beta males.
Roger Stone, Donald Trump's former campaign adviser, said on Lou Dobbs Tonight that Trump is "demonstrating alpha leadership." Dobbs said that Trump has a problem with women, who tend to prefer the "beta" leadership of Obama.
Elliot Rodger, the Isla Vista killer, claimed in a Youtube video that he was "the true alpha male."
After buying a gun, Christopher Harper-Mercer wrote, "Who's the alpha male now, bitches?" He later killed ten people, including himself, at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon.
The terms "alpha male" and "beta male" originated in the field of ethology, the study of nonhuman animal behavior. When studying groups of animals, ethologists noticed that the organisms arranged themselves in social hierarchies. "Alpha" is the term given to the highest-ranking organism(s). In a given hierarchy, the alpha might be a male ("alpha male"), a female ("alpha female"), or both ("alpha pair"). Next in line are the betas. These individuals act as second-in-command to the alpha. If the alpha dies, it is a beta who takes his or her place. Finally, at the bottom of the hierarchy, are the omegas, who are little more than scapegoats.
At some point, these terms were generalized to human populations. That's not surprising, as humans are also animals with social hierarchies. But as you may have already noticed, there is a discrepancy between the way ethologists apply these terms to nonhuman animals and the way bloggers and pundits apply them to humans. If that's not immediately clear, reread the preceding paragraph. Notice that as technical ethnological terms, "alpha" and "beta" refer only to social status. If we are told only that a particular organism is the alpha male, all we know is that he is the highest-ranking member of the hierarchy. We know nothing about his traits. Maybe he used brute strength to become the alpha, or maybe he outsmarted his competitors. There are no inherent differences between alphas and betas. Remember, when the alpha dies, it is a beta who becomes the new alpha. This would not work if betas were inherently different from alphas.
This lexical nuance is lost on most writers who capitalize on the trendiness of the alpha/beta meme. An alpha male may be as high-ranking as Donald Trump or as low-ranking as a blue-collar worker. A beta male may be as high-ranking as Barack Obama or as low-ranking as a barista.
When applied to humans, the terms designate not social rank but personal traits. Alphas are big, strong, loud, and aggressive. Betas are smart, sensitive, soft-spoken, and cooperative. In other words, alphas embody the traditional concept of masculinity. They use their size and strength to get what they want. They are the jocks. Meanwhile, the nerdy betas rely on intelligence to get ahead.
The erroneous equation of alpha status with specific traits is understandable because in most of the animals observed, the alphas are, in fact, big, strong, loud, and aggressive. There are good evolutionary reasons for this. Stronger, more aggressive organisms are more likely to survive in an environment where survival depends on hunting and fending off predators.
But let's not forget that whether a behavior is adaptive or maladaptive depends on the environment to which we must adapt. As the environment changes, what counts as adaptive behavior also changes.
And O how our environment has changed! By adapting to the environment, we have also changed it, building cities that would have bewildered our ancestors, and in many ways bewilder us. The environmental conditions that compelled our species to divide labor along lines of biological sex no longer exist. We don't have to hunt; we have grocery stores. So men don't have to be macho to survive and women don't need a man to survive.
The problem with the popular use of the term "alpha male" is that it encourages maladaptive behavior via the glorification of an outdated model of masculinity. It ignores the reality of life in a modern Western democracy.
Being loud and aggressive may have conferred an adaptive advantage for our ancestors, but in modern society these same traits are maladaptive. Being loud and aggressive will probably get you thrown in jail. Being intelligent and sensitive will get you ahead, as evidenced by the success of men like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and President Barack Obama.

Although it was meant as a put-down, I believe that one of greatest compliments anyone ever gave me was this: "Ken just plays with pictures."
Little did this person realize, I was "playing with pictures" because I was in a high-speed pursuit of my life-long passion.
Sometimes you can be riding in the lead locomotive, stoking the engine by shoveling coal into the furnace while the conductor blows the horn, and sometimes you can be in the caboose. In my case, I was riding near the front of the train for years, seemingly by myself as the train rolled down the tracks. I was isolated in that compartment, which was a good thing because it gave me the time and freedom to fall in love with data visualization without any fear of recrimination.
It was during this time, I was practicing turning numbers into pictures. In other words, I was "playing with pictures." Not only was I playing with pictures, I was playing with data. What I learned is that to be good at turning numbers into pictures, you have to be excellent at modifying data.
I was conducting my own version of Makeover Monday, long before the concept was created. I was testing, improvising, experimenting and creating visualizations with all kinds of data in an attempt to tell the stories hidden in data.
Although I was unwillingly being forced to create rudimentary black and white graphics for client presentations, I was filling my office with explosive color charts, dashboards, and visualizations that had personalities like cartoon characters. Sometimes I believed that these pieces of paper were talking to me. When I created these items, I'd print them, study them, and then stack them in the bottom of the bookcase to be reviewed later on.
Years later, I found them as I unstacked the stack as I prepared to leave the company. I saw the progression of my passion. I saw the growth and development of my style and techniques. It was like opening up a time capsule. It was similar to reading a book about someone's life but in this case, the pictures told the story.
Looking back on this formative time for me, I realize that this type of creative practice isn't much different than the following iterative activities:
- Musicians creating music with lyrics and instruments;
- Cooks making great things to eat by using ingredients and experimentation;
- Athletes creating new moves on the basketball court or perfecting their 3-point shot;
- Writers creating short stories as they worked their way up to writing full-length books;
- Woodworkers making beautiful furniture from rough sawn boards whose grain is hidden within.
The Allure of Data Visualization
It is this form of practice that is liberating and exhilarating. When you are hooked on playing with pictures, you will realize that you have become smitten by the allure of data visualization.
The allure occurs because we work with numbers. Numbers by themselves are relatively boring. Long lists of numbers are exceptionally boring. Tables of numbers are the worst. However, if you have the love of math and numbers and quantitative work is your destiny, what else can be better than turning these numbers into miniature works of art that inform us?
Today I heard my friend at work say this: "I have determined that my best days at work occur when I am building Tableau dashboards because the time seems to fly by". I understood what he meant because I have spent about a decade doing just that. For many years I felt a slight twinge of guilt over loving my job so much that taking pay did not quite seem fair. If felt this way because I was having such a good time playing with pictures.
Moreover, today I realized that my friend has learned in his first year of work what took me many years of practice to realize. He already has a full-blown love affair with Tableau.
This has occurred to him because he is damn good at building dashboards. He has an instinct for it. His natural artistic flair explodes off his dashboards. Pleasing colors are combined with solid design to create interactive tools that spreading around the company like mini wildfires, being viewed thousands of times.
Our internal business clients are writing notes to us, thanking us for making their jobs better and more fun. We are helping them deliver the truth in their work. It is this type of activity that can provide the impetus for someone to reach the highest level of their craft and it is a sneaky, alluring activity.
Tableau gives us mere mortals this type of ability. We may not all be like Jonni Walker, whose talents are transcendent, but we can practice our craft and become pretty darn good at playing with pictures.
The next time you look at the clock and see it is 2 am and you are playing with your pictures, don't feel guilty. Just remember that I told you it is OK to feel the passion, to pursue your dreams. Don't let anyone ever put you down by saying all you do is "play with pictures".

Current lead singer of the iconic Brit-Funk band Incognito is branching out on his own with the release of his latest single 'Pick Me Up'.
One of the hottest names on the British soul scene at the moment is none other than Tony Momrelle, an outstanding vocalist who is most known for his recording and touring with the group Incognito, appearing on their Amplified Soul album as well as their 35th Anniversary Live album released this year. He has also released a few other singles under his own name, including the excellent Fly EP released in 2013. The single was released earlier this week and is taken from his forthcoming album Keep Pushing which is slated for release later on this month on Reel People Music.
'Pick Me Up' is a perfect, radio-friendly piece of pop-soul. The song itself is a catchy ditty with a great arrangement, with Momrelle combining the Incognito sound, particularly the horns, with his own approach. Vocally Momrelle impresses, but to fans that have followed both his solo work and his work with Incognito over the past few years, this is hardily surprising. 'Pick Me Up' is a good choice to be the lead single from the forthcoming album, and is already garnering much attention on the soul scene.
Although released digitally, 'Pick Me Up' is 'backed' by a brilliant cover of the Donny Hathaway/Roberta Flack classic 'Back Together Again'; here Chicago's Chantae Caan provides the female vocal. Admittedly, we were a little sceptical about how good this song could be. After all, in terms of artistry you rarely can get better than Donny Hathaway or Roberta Flack. We're glad to report that our initial scepticism was misplaced, as both Momrelle and Caan impress on this version of the song, making the sensible decision to update the song rather than merely recreating the original version. The two are a good match vocally, both have similar a smooth neo-soul quality to their voices, and importantly neither attempts to overpower the other. Included in the single release are several remixes of the song: the Richard Earnshaw Mix gives it a house spin, whilst the Opolopo Mix gives it a dance makeover. Neither remix does it for us; the original is fine as it is.
Nonetheless, this is a tasty insight into what Momrelle has in store for us with his new album. And we eagerly await what soulful goodness he has in store for us later on this month.
Tony Momrelle's single release is available to download on iTunes, his forthcoming album Keep On Pushing is available to preorder on Amazon. More information can be found on his website.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – The operators of a Columbia retail store pleaded not guilty Thursday to federal charges alleging a $2 million scheme to distribute synthetic marijuana.
Federal prosecutors publicly released a 21-count indictment against Kevin Bay and John Hawkins as they appeared in court for the first time on charges of conspiracy and distributing drugs and drug paraphernalia. Bay owns Bocomo Bay, which he operates with Hawkins.
Bay, 44, also faces several money laundering charges. Hawkins, 51, also was indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Columbia attorney Dan Viets, who represents Hawkins, said both men pleaded not guilty. Court records show the grand jury indictment was returned under seal on Oct. 2 and that both defendants were released after appearing in court Thursday. The case was placed on a Dec. 2 trial docket.
The indictment accuses Bay and Hawkins of selling synthetic products containing ingredients that are analogous to illegal drugs, meaning they are chemically or pharmacologically similar. The indictment says the items at Bocomo Bay were sold under a variety of names, including "Kind" and "Aromatic Potpourri" and came in scents such as "bubble gum," "mango," "cotton candy" and "cherry."
The U.S. attorney's office says the products often include plant materials that have been sprayed or mixed with chemical compounds similar to what's in marijuana and often are marketed as incense, though they are intended to be used as a drug.
Viets said he plans to challenge whether the products actually are prohibited under federal law.
"I think the prosecution is going to have some problems proving all of these charges," Viets said.
An attorney for Bay did not immediately return a telephone message Thursday.
The U.S. attorney's office said that while many of the synthetic products are not specifically prohibited, federal law allows them to be treated as controlled substances if they are proven to be chemically or pharmacologically similar.
"That's going to be the first issue, are these things even illegal?" Viets said.
The indictment seeks to require Bay and Hawkins to forfeit to the government nearly $2.1 million allegedly obtained from the drug-trafficking conspiracies as well as numerous items seized from Bocomo Bay and the home shared by Bay and Hawkins. Those include $638,000; nearly 50 bars of platinum, palladium, gold and silver; more than 2,000 gold and silver coins; and 76 guns.

Chris Steven, Abuja
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has charged one Abubakar Sani Chindo to a Kaduna State High Court sitting in Kaduna, Kaduna State, for allegedly providing false and misleading information to the Commission that former Namadi Sambo, Vice President, stashed huge sums of money in his house.
In a two-count charge filed before Justice M. T. Aliyu, ICPC accused Chindo of misleading the Commission as a whistle-blower, an action that contravenes Sections 64 (3) and 25 (a,b) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000 and punishable under the same sections.
The information provided by the whistle-blower had led to the unwarranted raid of Sambo's residence, located at Alimi Road, Kaduna.
The accused, who appeared in court without a defence counsel, pleaded not guilty to the charge when read to him.
Although he prayed Justice Aliyu to grant him bail, the trial judge refused his bail application, noting that the accused needed a lawyer to perfect his bail conditions.
The judge therefore remanded him in prison custody to perfect the conditions.
If convicted, Chindo faces a prison term of 10 years or a fine not exceeding N100,000 as provided by Section 64 (3) of the Act.

Podcast Review - We're Alive
I had a game all reviewed and ready to go. It was a good one, too. It's classic nerd excellence. But I changed my mind about running it tonight, because I just wasn't feeling it. And I wasn't feeling it because I found something way better, and I feel like everyone should know about it, right now.
Let's say you're a zombie. OK, that's not very likely, so instead, let's say you're a fan of zombie entertainment. I know I am, so when I heard about this wacky Internet radio show called We're Alive, I was intrigued. It's an ongoing story about a zombie apocalypse, available in 15-25 minute segments, and going back more than a year. As a weak-willed drone who will check out nearly anything zombie-related, I was practically obligated to check it out.
I was skeptical, to be honest. A radio show? That sounds awesome - if it was 1943. But ever since this wild new invention called television, people just don't really produce radio shows with any serious regularity. Probably because television is inherently better. You can tell me all about how classic radio shows were the pinnacle of entertainment, but I would call you a dope and then hand you a remote, because you've obviously never seen any TV.
But then I remembered that I have a pretty crappy commute to and from the soul-eating horror of my workplace, so I thought, 'hey, I can listen to this almost-certainly-boring podcast on my crappy commute to my soul-sucking workplace.' I downloaded the first couple episodes and gave it a spin on the way to work. And then I was hooked.
It turns out, We're Alive is just freaking brilliant. The story takes about two minutes before it grabs you by your nostrils and forces you to listen to every word. The characters are believable, the story is intense, and the acting is... well, OK, the acting often blows.
The main character, Micheal, is pretty good. He's easy to believe and authentic, whether he's calm and collected or irate and irrational. Lizzie is great, too, and I may have a crush on the girl who voices the tough chef-turned-master-at-arms named Riley.
But for every excellent actor in the cast, there's one who needs to go back to tenth-grade drama class. My favorite guy, the US Army dufus named Saul, is voice-acted by a man who apparently forgets his lines whenever he has more than three words in a row. It's a shame, because Saul's my favorite - I love his silly half-Mexican accent, and the character himself is hilarious and tough as brass nails. If only he wouldn't pause every three lines to see if he can pick up where he lost his place. And Burt, the trigger-happy old man, is voiced by a guy who is doing his worst Clint Eastwood impression during the whole show. He's supposed to sound old and tough, but he actually sounds like a fourteen-year-old kid who won't quit saying, 'Go ahead, make my day.'
So the acting is a little weak in places, but it says something about the quality of the story when the poor acting doesn't put me off at all. Like, ever. I'm not saying I hope they find more bad actors, or anything, but I am saying that I am wildly entertained and actually disappointed when I get home from work (it goes without saying that I am disappointed when I arrive at the office).
It's not just the continuing saga that has me glued to my noise-canceling earphones, either. The characters develop and grow. The story feels like it has a goal, like it's going somewhere, like there's an ultimate plan to the whole thing. As an added bonus, it doesn't fall into that stupid, worn-out cliche where they try to tell us that we're the real monsters. In We're Alive, the monsters are the real monsters, and the show focuses on the people as they triumph and fail in the face of overwhelmingly impossible odds. It's fun and exciting and incredibly entertaining. It's better than 90% of the boring retreads that make it to television.
I'm not even a third of the way through the episodes they've recorded so far, and I can't wait to see how it all winds up. I just hope they take a really long time getting there, because unless they pull a Zombie jumping over a shark, I don't see how this show could go wrong (though I sure hope they don't kill Saul. He really is very entertaining).
But there's a problem. And the problem is, this show should be making tons of money, and from what I've heard, they have fewer hits a day than I do. Let me tell you something, when a show this spectacular has less traffic than my hole-in-the-wall, game-review-black-hole, cobwebbed corner of the Internet, the universe is obviously badly damaged. We need to repair it, right away.
You can help. Go to the We're Alive website and check out a couple episodes. If you don't have the patience to download every episode, one at a time, you can buy the entire first season on CD for less than you would pay for even a low-rent board game. There are roughly 23 hours of rock-solid entertainment out there right now, and so if you're a fan of quality entertainment, you should hustle over there and check it out.
Besides, television might be better than radio, but can you drag your 42-inch plasma on the bus? No, you can't. Where would you plug it in? And how are you going to watch it if you're holding it? Do you think that smelly bum will hold it for you? Because he will, but he won't give it back when your show is over. He will sell it and buy some Boone's Farm. He would love to watch some shows, but his refrigerator box doesn't get cable.
I would keep raving about We're Alive, but as I'm writing this, the final episode just downloaded to my phone. I'm going to go downstairs, plug in the earphones, and listen to We're Alive until it's time to go to bed. And then, probably just one more show after that.
Seriously, get over to this site right now:

McCain Organization Coming Together Nationally
The Analysis Department here at Straight Talk Iowa Style has commented on the encouraging moves made by the McCain Team in putting together a solid national campaign organization.
Before the weekend starts we want to recap where the McCain organization stands today in IA, NH and SC.
August 1, we commented about the solid team put in place here in Iowa and the team being put in place in New Hampshire.
August 2, Lance Tarrance, noted political consultant, signed on to the Straight Talk Express.
August 8, Former South Carolina Attorney General Charlie Condon and former Carol Campbell Chief of Staff Bob McAllister both agreed to Co-Chair McCain's Straight Talk America PAC.
August 10, Henry McMaster, Attorney General of South Carolina, signed on to Co-chair McCain's Straight Talk America PAC.
Several plausible conclusions can be drawn from the recent moves. First, South Carolina is crucially important to John McCain and understandably so. Second, McCain wants to capitalize on his past success in New Hampshire and leverage the state's open primary to his advantage. Third and most importantly, McCain will run hard here in Iowa to maintain that front runner status.
After the mid-term elections look for the organizational ground game to start in earnest in the three key early states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Thankfully, after a long night with my little guy(thank you cable TV for all night pre-school cartoons) he's doing better. Never had a fever, just the,ya know, VOMIT. Anyway, I am dead tired, made it through a really cool face painting job, and need to go to bed.
Hopefully tomorrow will be more eventful, in a good way:)
Super-cute thing: Summer often begins to feel sick when someone else in the house actually is sick(can't really blame her). So last night she was sure she was ill. I was at work, but she was asking for me(kinda rare, its usually Jason she wants) and Jason was dealing with Grady's messes. Teagen layed with Summer and just talked to her until she felt better. It was so sweet, and Teagen was very proud to be able to take care of her big sister♥

If you've read the last post, you know we had sweet friends over for dessert recently.
Because we were having a "make your own chocolate chip ice cream sundae bar,"
Sure, I could have gone to my favorite ice cream dairy store (picture below)
and picked up a jar of their delicious hot fudge sauce.
But I didn't.
I was feeling way to domesticated for such radical behavior!
I have a great hot fudge sauce recipe.
But I couldn't find it.
This makes a woman like me crazy.
Crazy, I tell you!
I can tell you who we were with the last time I made it.
I can remember where I found the recipe the last time I made it.
So why, oh why, can't I find it now?
I don't know.
But I don't have time to panic.
I only have time for hot fudge sauce.
I searched and searched for a recipe that was similar to the one I wanted to make.
The one I wanted to make does NOT have sweetened condensed milk in it.
Not that sweetened condensed milk is bad.
It isn't.
Trust me!
I believe in the stuff.
But I didn't want it in my hot fudge sauce this time.
This recipe I found was on a blog, but I can't remember which one, but there are three listed below. I feel for certain that if you are interested in the original source, you can locate it at one of those sites!
I changed the recipe, only slightly, for my preference.
Hot Fudge Sauce
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3 ounces semi sweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped
2 TBSP butter
1/2 tsp. coffee extract (NOT coffee. It's from King Arthur Flour) OR 1 tsp. vanilla extract
In a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream, syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and half of the chocolate to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low or low to maintain a slight simmer, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining chocolate, the butter, and the extract, stirring until smooth. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes before using (it will thicken as it cools).
Store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
To reheat, microwave for 30 seconds or until it's pourable but still thick.

Wrapping Up The Weekend Antique Market & Estate Tag Sale
We want to thank all of you so very much for making our weekend market and estate tag sale such a huge success.
After weeks of sorting, cleaning, hauling, storing, hauling again, organizing & pricing the tag sale items, along with
several weeks of late nights and working both the tag sale and shoppe this weekend, we were exhausted when we closed our doors at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
But, as usually happens at the end of our market weekend or a show....
when we are carrying the biggest & heaviest piece of furniture..... we start to laugh about something and finally have to set the piece down and get the giggles out of our system.
We both agreed that we still have the best job in the world.
Here are some of our observations:
Both Becky & I are blessed with incredible daughters……she has four, and I have three.
Three of them came to help us on Saturday.
So a HUGE thank you to Carrie, Kristin & Elizabeth.
Thanks, also, to Kelly & Lynn for supplying us with so many boxes with lids which helped to keep us organized.
All of our family members have been helpful in their own ways and incredibly supportive of what we do.
Your love & encouragement means so much to us.
Also, we would like to thank the couple whose estate tag sale we organized.
They were kind, gracious, helpful and fun.
They pretty much seem like family now.
They went above and beyond in the many ways they helped us out.
You never know what items people are going to fall in love with and want.
While organizing for the tag sale, w
e came across an abundance of rusty old tools and bits of farm pieces of this & that.
We put them in three big tubs and called them our rusty crusty stuff.
As soon as we saw somebody approach the tubs, we would inform them that anything in those tubs was free.
It was usually a guy and they usually had to clarify that it was indeed free and then set about digging through everything.
It was so much fun to watch them find their treasures.
One guy explained that he liked to weld pieces together for garden art (oh, hooray!) and was excited about such a find.
It made our hearts happy, as did every single person who was thrilled with their purchase.
We loved hearing the stories about what the customer was going to do with their item, why it was special to them, or how it added to a collection.
One lady came up and gave us an offer on the whole box of vintage valentines we had priced individually.
The offer was accepted.
I can't remember if she was buying them for her own wedding….but somehow they were going to be used for a wedding.
If the person who purchased them reads this, please let us know how you are going to use them and we would love to see photos.
We had people show up early on Saturday to be first in line to purchase something we had listed.
It made us happy to see them so happy with what they waited so patiently for……plus some extra goodies they picked up. We have two ladies who have come to every one of our weekend markets and we now consider them fun friends.
They were on their way to our sale early Saturday morning when one of them experienced some not so good symptoms and was taken to the hospital.
Diane, we missed you and we are praying & hoping everything works out for you.
It was a day of beautiful weather, great bargains, happy faces, meeting new customers & vendors, seeing old friends and working with our daughters.
At the end of the day, after hauling the remainder of the tag sale items back inside and putting some in a free pile outside, we drug our weary bones to Goldies for a yummy dinner which included onion rings.
Sadly, no room left for ice cream.
Sunday was the car show and our shoppe opened at 9:00 a.m. For a second day the weather was perfection.
Thank you to the Prairie City Fire Department for giving us a shout out during announcements.
It was a treat to stand out front of the old bank building and watch a parade of vintage cars come rumbling into town and park their gems.
I did take a spin around the square (on foot) to check out the beautiful vehicles and yes, I did have a delicious funnel cake.
We had a steady stream come into the shoppe all day long.
Once again, we got to visit with some delightful and interesting people.
Whether you are just looking, buying or have items to sell…..we love you all.
It is such a treat to us when customers email or text photos of an item they bought & placed in their home.
Sunday evening, we both collapsed when we arrived at our respective homes. We actually got home before dark for the first time in weeks.
Tomorrow we will post the dates for our October Weekend Antique Market.
An added bonus…… we will be open an additional Saturday in October for the Fall Fest being planned in Prairie City.
We don't know the date yet, but we will let you know when we find out.
Until next time........Linda & Becky

HEY HEY! :) Another great week in the GREAT cincinnati ohio mission!
So before I get to anything exciting... I have to tell you something funny that happened on tuesday. So I told you how Sister Webb totally ate it on monday while we were running... Well, the next day we were running and in the EXACT same spot... I ate it! It was soooo funny. We have been laughing about it all week and telling everyone and NO ONE thinks it's funny. I guess Sister Webb and I have gotten use to that because no one ever thinks what we have to say is funny. At least we think we are funny. Well to make the situation more funny, we have the exact same scrape too! Hopefully I can get the picture from Sister Webb.
But yeah. I got your halloween package last monday. Thank you so much! I loved it! We are gonna put the stickers on our window today hopefully! :) Well... Nothing actually exciting happened this week... Sorry... We are still having a hard time with Elijah and his family. we had two appointment this week with them and they totally ignored us both times. I could hear them inside. It took everything in me to not just run in there. They drive me crazy sometimes but the weirdest thing is... I actually like them. they are really funny and when we are together we can feel the spirit and laugh. They are just really really flaky people. super frustrating. But it's ok because we had an amazing lesson with Atsushi! We talked to him about God and the importance of praying everyday. He has such a great desire to pray and learn. It is amazing. He is so golden. I really think that he is going to be a grat investigator because he keeps his commitments which AMAZING!!! He's awesome and we have another appointment with him on Saturday!
Well... We are still struggling to get investigators but we fasted yesterday so we are gonna get new ones this week. We have some lessons lined up with some really solid potential investigators.
Tell Michael I say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I am going to try and write him a letter but I am really busy today.
Yes I did get your package and NO I AM NOT GETTING TRANSFERED! :) I am sooo happy. I was so afraid. Actually. That is a really funny story. So we started this volunteer thing today where every monday we got to the Mason Food Pantry and stock shelves for 2 hours. So on our way there we got the transfer call. It was Elder Shirtz (The SUPER hilarious Elder in our ward) and he was like, Sister Webb you are staying and Sister Shaw you are leaving. I was freaking out and grabbed the phone and told him he was lying like 7 times and he was like nope. And you're training. I almost had a heart attack. He just started laughing and I told him I was going to kill him... I haven't changed at all! :) haha.
Well... Thank you for being so awesome!
I love you!
Have a great week!
Love, Sister Shaw

United States District Court, W.D. North Carolina, Asheville Division
March 7, 2017
WILLIAM ANDREW ESTES, Petitioner,v.UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent. Criminal No. 2:12-cr-00011-MR-DCK-1
Reidinger, United States District Judge.
MATTER is before the Court on the Petitioner's Motion
under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct
Sentence by a Person in Federal Custody [CV Doc.
and the Petitioner's Motion for Post-Conviction Discovery
Pursuant to Rule 6 of the Rules Governing 2255 Habeas
Proceedings [CV Doc. 6]. The Petitioner is represented by
attorneys E.J. Hurst, II and Marcia G. Shein.
November 2010, federal and state law enforcement officials
began investigating a large-scale methamphetamine
distribution conspiracy led by Michael James Taylor and
involving several others, including William Wesley Hargett,
Sonya Maddy, Larry Watkins, Kirsten McGillivray, Adam
Cochran, Johnny Frady, and Ricky Fisher. Through their
investigation, law enforcement officials learned that Taylor
owned the Budget Inn Motel in Sylva, North Carolina, and used
the motel as a distribution point for large quantities of
methamphetamine. Taylor and other members of his distribution
network also conducted drug transactions at a house located
at 19 Pine Street, Greenville, South Carolina ("the
Pine Street residence"), as well as other locations
within the Western District of North Carolina. [Criminal Case
No. 2:12-cr-00011-MR-DCK, Doc. 19 at ¶¶ 10, 11, 17,
On June
3, 2011, the Petitioner William Andrew Estes was released
from the North Carolina Department of Corrections after
serving a 14-year sentence for first degree kidnapping. Prior
to the Petitioner's imprisonment, the Petitioner was in a
relationship with Taylor's mother and acted as a
step-father to him. Also at some point, Taylor and the
Petitioner were incarcerated together and maintained their
bond during that time. After his release from prison, the
Petitioner contacted Taylor to discuss his financial
situation and to talk about ways that the Petitioner could
make money. Eventually, Taylor informed the Petitioner about
his methamphetamine distribution and the Petitioner began to
work for Taylor. [Id. at ¶¶ 12].
Petitioner was considered Taylor's "enforcer"
during the conspiracy. [Id. at ¶ 35]. Taylor
referred to the Petitioner as his "right hand man,
" although the Petitioner very rarely dealt directly
with the sale or distribution of methamphetamine.
[Id.]. One co-conspirator described the
Petitioner's job as "beat[ing] people up and
threaten[ing] people on behalf of Taylor."
[Id. at ¶ 27]. The Petitioner is 6'2"
tall and weighs 200 pounds. [Id. at 3].
Petitioner was often observed in Taylor's presence when
methamphetamine was sold or distributed. [Id. at
¶¶ 24, 25]. The Petitioner was observed on one
occasion by a co-conspirator at the Pine Street residence
when Michael Taylor received a delivery of approximately
2½ pounds of methamphetamine from a Mexican male. The
Petitioner was observed assisting Taylor with weighing and
repackaging the methamphetamine. [Id. at ¶ 19].
In June
2011, the Petitioner accompanied Taylor to meet with a
co-conspirator who owed Taylor money for a drug debt. During
that meeting, Taylor demanded that the co-conspirator turn
over the keys to her car as payment for the drug debt.
[Id. at ¶ 30].
another occasion in June 2011, law enforcement officials
conducting telephonic surveillance of the conspiracy members
heard Taylor direct a co-conspirator to use a vehicle to
transport methamphetamine. Law enforcement later heard the
Petitioner, in Taylor's absence, coordinating the pickup
of that vehicle after the methamphetamine was delivered.
[Id. at ¶ 20].
In July
2011, the Petitioner accompanied Taylor to a
co-conspirator's house where Taylor introduced the
Petitioner as a friend who had just gotten out of prison. The
Petitioner accompanied Taylor on multiple other occasions to
the co-conspirator's residence when Taylor was dropping
off or picking up bulk amounts of methamphetamine. Taylor
frequently used two magnetic boxes attached to the underside
of his pickup truck to transport or hide methamphetamine. The
Petitioner was present and witnessed Taylor using these
boxes. [Id. at ¶ 25].
his arrest in August 2011, the Petitioner was housed in the
same jail as Taylor and other co-conspirators. Taylor was
overheard in the jail directing the Petitioner upon his
release to travel to South Carolina to get money from
"Shane" and "Pops, " individuals who
were known to distribute methamphetamine for the Taylor
conspiracy. Taylor and the Petitioner were also overheard
trying to identify who was "snitching" within the
conspiracy. [Id. at ¶ 31].
incarcerated, the Petitioner continued to speak freely about
the conspiracy to other inmates. The Petitioner detailed one
event that occurred around July 4, 2011, when some unknown
Mexicans made a delivery of methamphetamine to a motel in
South Carolina where the Petitioner was present. The
Petitioner was patrolling the area outside the motel while
waiting for Taylor. At this point, the Petitioner and Taylor
were suspicious that one of the co-conspirators was
cooperating with law enforcement. That co-conspirator was
also travelling to the motel and the Petitioner believed that
the co-conspirator intended to follow the Mexicans back to
Atlanta, Georgia, to provide law enforcement with the
location. [Id. at ¶ 32].
Petitioner stated in these jail house conversations that he
never sold any methamphetamine but had been present when
methamphetamine deliveries were made. The Petitioner also
described incidents where he confronted one of the members of
the conspiracy by "putting hands on him" because
the co-conspirator owed Taylor money. [Id. at ¶
the Petitioner stopped talking freely about the conspiracy
because he heard that an acquaintance had provided a
statement to law enforcement. The Petitioner was heard saying
that he was having someone find out when the acquaintance
would be released and where he would reside. The Petitioner
further stated that he had guns "stashed" and
that if he "got out, " they would not have to
worry about witnesses. [Id. at ¶ 34].
On July
21, 2012, while housed at the Cherokee County Detention
Center in Murphy, North Carolina, the Petitioner was involved
in an altercation with two of his co-defendants, Lonnie
Payne, Jr. and Adam Cochran. According to Payne and Cochran,
the door between two inmate housing areas was left open and
the Petitioner was able to enter the pod where Cochran and
Payne were standing. When the Petitioner entered the pod he
assaulted both Payne and Cochran. During the altercation,
witnesses overheard the Petitioner yelling about Payne and
Cochran "turning evidence." Both Payne and
Cochran sustained physical injuries from the assault. The
Petitioner later admitted committing the assaults and told
law enforcement officers he could have easily killed Payne
and Cochran but did not. [Id. at ¶¶
September 20, 2011, the Petitioner was charged in a Bill of
Indictment, along with ten co-defendants, with conspiracy to
possess with intent to distribute at least 50 grams of actual
methamphetamine and at least 500 grams of a mixture or
substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine,
in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846.
[Criminal Case No. 2:11-cr-00022-MR-DLH-2, Doc. 74]. The
Federal Defenders of Western North Carolina were appointed to
represent the Petitioner.
On May
18, 2012, the Petitioner entered into a Plea Agreement in
which he agreed to plead guilty to a Bill of Information that
charged a conspiracy involving a lower drug quantity, in
exchange for which the Government agreed to dismiss the
Indictment against the Petitioner. [Criminal Case No.
2:12-cr-00011-MR-DCK, Docs. 1 and 2]. The effect of this was
to reduce the mandatory minimum sentence from ten years to
five. [Id.].
In the
Plea Agreement, the parties made a series of joint sentencing
recommendations to the Court, including the following:
a. The amount of actual methamphetamine that was known to or
reasonably foreseeable by the defendant was 947.6 grams,
which is a base offense level of 36, pursuant to U.S.S.G.
§ 2D1.1(c)(2);
b. The defendant's offense level is decreased by three
levels to 33, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(a)(5),
because he is entitled to an adjustment, pursuant to U.S.S.G.
§ 3B1.2, for a mitigating role[;]
c. The defendant's offense level is further decreased to
32, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(a)(5), because the
resulting offense level was greater than 32 and the defendant
was a minimal participant; d. The defendant's offense
level is increased by two levels to 34, pursuant to U.S.S.G.
§ 2D1.1(b)(2), because the defendant used violence or
made a credible threat to use violence;
e. The defendant's offense level is decreased by four
levels to 30, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2(a), because
the defendant was a minimal participant; f. The
defendant's offense level is decreased two additional
levels to 28, pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(15),
because the defendant was a minimal participant and he was
motivated by an intimate or familial relationship to commit
the offense and was otherwise unlikely to commit such an
offense; the defendant received no monetary compensation from
the illegal purchase, sale, transport or storage of
controlled substance; and the defendant had minimal knowledge
of the scope and structure of the enterprise;
* * *
i. The parties agree that the appropriate sentence is one at
the low end of the "applicable guideline range"
and that neither party will seek a departure or variance from
the low ...

Renaissance Festival in Feldkirch
So how cool is it to go to a Renaissance Festival when you are really walking around cobblestone streets and looking up at a real castle? We had a great Saturday outing in Feldkirch, Austria at the Renaissance Festival. Madison loved getting her face painted, and we loved locking the girls in a cage! Pretty fun day.

It looks like a top, at least a ST top
Okay, I hate to get overly excited about the patterns before they develop, but (so far) the price pattern sports a completed wave pattern. Let's peel back the covers and take a look:
- my w5 price target of 958-962 was hit today (high of 960)
- the pattern before the top was put in clearly sports the look of a triangle, which is a pattern before the finish (w4)
- the overal look into the finish looks like a messy ED, which makes sense because EDs occur when the market has pushed too far too fast w/o taking a breather, which certainly fits this pattern.
- the look off the top so far is reading impulsive. Unfortunately it is unclear if we have a 1-2, 1-2 or a small a-b-c at this point. We'll know tomorrow if we get a 3 of 3 or some more upside before a continuation.
- we are right in the zone of some very good turning points (solar eclipse, the annual 7/22-7/23 dates, and some other indicators I've found across the web)
- massive divergences have formed on the 60 min charts
- the daily chart is showing extreme overbought conditions
- the weekly chart is showing overbought
Of course, what we don't know is are we in a wave b or the beginning of primary wave 3. But that should show itself fairly quickly. I'll be watching how the price unfolds tomorrow and how we approach the 930 level. If we are in a B, then the 930 level is likely to hold (but especially the 915 level). If they don't then I will be leaning towards primary wave 3. We won't have confirmation until 869 breaks though.

just to be a devil's advocate.....and i do love your analysis.....what would/could change your mind and make you bullish after this B wave or beforeReplyDelete
Bullish as in we're going to new highs? The only thing that will make me bullish is if the balance sheets of the citizens of this great nation become strong once again, gov't reigns in spending and balances the budget, and unemployment drops below 7%. Or the stock market actually becomes cheap (trailing p/e below 10). But I don't imagine any of that will happen any time soon.ReplyDelete

Facing a Storm of Sorrow
In Psalm 31, David deeply admits the sorrow of his heart. Here we learn that grief is real and is acceptable. The Bible acknowledges that there is real pain in our lives. Our hearts are broken from time to time. Sometimes the hurt is deeper than others, but it is real. Do not be surprised, then, when you face the sorrow of grief. Everyone that loves faces it at some time in life.
In this passage we see some interesting focal points. The first looks at the hurt. David not only acknowledges the hurt, but he looks to the one that caused it in his life. For him it was people that wanted to do him harm. Perhaps that is true for you, but it may not be a specific person that has brought this pain to you. It could be a circumstance or some other event that has brought pain to your life. We see another focus though. David also looks at others around him. He realizes that this hurt affects the way they look at him. He feels their gaze as they know he is in real distress. I remember the first time I went out in public after suffering the loss of a child. It felt as if everyone was looking at me and whispering, "There's the guy who just lost a baby. We better avoid him." Of course that probably wasn't true of everyone around me, but I certainly felt that way.
However, even through the reality of grief we see David's most consistent and most important focus is on God. Psalm 31 is made up of 24 verses. In these 24 verses we hear David remind himself at least 30 times of God's strength. He remains grounded in the reality that his grief is real and strong, but God is greater and is able to deliver him and comfort him. David sees his grief and its affects, but his focus is on God. He works to direct his mind to remember the love, help and faithfulness of God. He cries to God and knows that God hears him. His deepest focus is not on the reality of grief, but on the reality of God.
Know that grief is real. And it is coming to your house. Where will you turn in your storm of sorrow?

Thank you for sharing the Word of our Father and how He loves us and wants us to come to Him during those times of grief. Sometimes it is very hard to do that when Satan is there to play on those feelings of loss, hurt, anger, and why questions. He knows that our faith is shaky and he(Satan) loves that. How wonderful to know that we have a Savior that is here to help us to fight. Gods' Word the best defense we can have.
Thank you for reminding me of this. Blessings

Thank you for this post and biblical reference. I am surprised at how painful it has been to have lost my mother despite knowing that it was coming...an inevitable loss due to cancer. God reminded me today of His strength and held me strong all day through work. I know God is with me. I simply need to remember to rely upon Him.

Okay, so by no means do I consider myself a "blogger". I think to be a "blogger" you actually need to have something to talk about. Now don't get me wrong, I love to talk. I can talk about anything, for hours, even things that I have no idea about, I will attempt to talk about. But, blogging…eek
Fast forward to a few nights ago. I don't know, I got an idea into my crazy head that I should start blogging. What I'm going to talk about-I have no idea! But, it seems like EVERYBODY has a blog nowadays. And I like reading blogs. I read blogs about people who love animals, people who hate animals, single people, married people, people with & without kids, people who hate kids, people who believe in love, people who think it doesn't exist, people who hate God-themselves, & other people. I think its interesting. The way people think is interesting. The "why's" of the way people think is interesting. Plus, I'm nosey. 🙂
I called my blog Chapstick Chatter. Not for any reason other than I'm obsessed with chapstick, love to talk, & the name "Chapstick Chatter" kinda flows (my brother, Luke, said it was a "lame" title but what does he know???). I have zero pre-conceived notion about what a blog should (or shouldn't) contain. I love a lot of things, so I can't promise it won't be filled with blogs about how much I LOVE high-heeled boots, or how much I ADORE my cat, Sundae. I'm also annoyed at many things, so again, I can't promise it won't have blogs about how much I DESPISE green peppers or the fact that Katy Perry irks me to no end. But, it's my blog and it's what I'm thinking about at that time.
I appreciate (and kinda feel bad for you) for reading what's going on in my head at that moment. Thanks!

— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the agreement between world powers and Iran as a 'historic mistake' that doesn't bind his country. Israel wanted world powers to oblige Iran to stop enriching uranium and dismantle an unfinished heavy water reactor at Arak that could eventually produce plutonium, materials that could be used to produce weapons. ." Israeli officials have described Iran's nuclear program as an existential threat, saying all options are on the table to stop it, including a military strike. "The Iranian regime is committed to Israel's destruction. "If the deal gives Iran the ability to achieve a bomb within six weeks, we won't be able to sit idly by."
One of President Barack Obama's biggest Democratic allies is putting pressure on the administration by urging Congress to pass sanctions legislation against Iran after Tehran announced a new generation of equipment to enrich uranium. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) told Fox News that the "Iranians are showing their true intentions."
"If you're talking about producing more advanced centrifuges that are only used to enrich uranium at a quicker rate … the only purposes of that and the only reason you won't give us access to [a military research facility] is because you're really not thinking about nuclear power for domestic energy — you're thinking about nuclear power for nuclear weapons," he said. Key Democratic and Republican senators are crafting legislation to reinstate the full force of Iran sanctions and impose new ones if Tehran doesn't make good on its pledge to roll back its nuclear program. That Iranian technical experts told counterparts from the six powers last week that some of the cutting-edge machines have been installed at a research tract of one of Iran's enriching sites.
Iran argued that it had a right to do so under the research and development provisions of the Nov. 24 Geneva accord. the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany – said the officials. They said they have argued that installing any centrifuge that increases overall numbers, particularly a new model, violates Tehran's commitment to freeze the amount and type of enriching machines at Nov. 24 levels.
In commitments under the Geneva accord, Iran agreed to freeze the number of centrifuges enriching uranium for six months and only to produce models now installed or in operation. The development regarding uranium enrichment reflects the difficulties expected in implementing the Nov. 24 deal as the two sides argue over interpretations of the document outlining both Iran's obligations and moves by the international community to ease economic sanctions in return for Tehran's nuclear concessions.
Such differences could delay the deal past its envisaged January start and strengthen both hardliners in Tehran and congressional skeptics in Washington who argue that the accord doesn't work and gives Iran too much for too little in return.
In Geneva, Iran also agreed to limit its uranium enrichment to 5 percent and neutralize its stockpile of 20 percent enriched uranium.
Depending on its grade, enriched uranium can be used for either reactor fuel or – at levels above 90 percent – for the fissile core of a nuclear warhead. Iran insists it has no interest in nuclear weapons.
Interestingly enough, when GWB was president you heard about the military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan almost daily. With Obama in the White House, the mainstream media has been strangely quiet. —
More than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan in the last 27 months. This is more than the combined total of the nine years before. Thirty have died in August. White House flag flown at half-staff for the Sikhs that were killed. There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the military against the indifferent incompetence of this president.
Obama has had 5 years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed, golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our men and women in uniform.

While planning this summer's concert series — a Wednesday night tradition on the Village Green — organizers decided to try a different approach for the Aug. 9 installment.
"This is a first for Valley Stream," said Chuck Ristano, assistant director of the recreation department. "We're actually doing three bands in one show."
Known for their hits "This Magic Moment" and "Under the Boardwalk," Charlie Thomas's the Drifters will headline the doo-wop concert alongside supporting acts Barbara Harris & the Toys and John Kuse & the Excellents.
"In the doo-wop circles, the Drifters are big," Ristano said. In 2004, Rolling Stone named the group to its list of 100 greatest artists. The Drifters — which had more than 60 members in its 64-year history — were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Charlie Thomas, who will perform at the Village Green band shell next week, joined the group in 1958.
Doo-wop developed in predominantly African-American communities in the 1940s, and its signature four-part harmonies and lyrics about love became popular in the '50s and '60s.
The movement started out with singers performing on street corners and subway stations in cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore and Newark, generally in groups of three to six. They sang a cappella arrangements, and used onomatopoeia to mimic instruments — "doo-wop" imitated the sound of muted brass.
To this day, group performances remain integral to doo-wop productions. "In the doo-wop era, it's better to have packages because that's the way they did it back in the '50s," said Pete Mastropaolo, musical director of Coda Productions, who organized the show.
Mastropaolo said that members of the recreation department contacted him with the idea, after John Kuse & the Excellents were well received in previous years. "They wanted to do a much bigger-scale show," he said.
Mastropaolo plays in the house band that supports the various singers appearing next week. He said this contributes to the vintage feel of the production. Singers from different groups rotate, while the band remains.
The Valley Stream Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the event, along with the Valley Stream Soccer Club and Advantage Toyota of Valley Stream. Sponsors will set up tables with light refreshments.
Timmy Graham, president of the VSSC, said he didn't think the soccer club would sign many new recruits at the concert, but that the organization was happy to sponsor it.
"We're all about giving back to the Village of Valley Stream whenever possible," Graham said. "They help us out tremendously, and we try to help out whenever we can."

I have decided that there are only a few ways I'd like to live and die. Raise and murder me in solitude. Let me be reborn into the muted beauty of a spring in the wood. Drown me in the trees, use the night sky to bury me alive and then pull me from the womb of the universe. Don't trust me with silence. Let the books be my parents and the mind my kin. Give me life in the old, give me peace.

Today we had our tribe National Day outing cum Farewell for Michelle and Lawrence at the Botanic Gardens! Michelle and Lawrence are migrating to America next week so we decided to hold a surprise picnic as a form of farewell for them. :-)
It was quite successful and they didn't suspect a thing (even when Charlotte told them to come at 10am instead of 9am) ((so we had time to set up)) all until they were walking towards us and saw us sitting around the mat (tarp, rather). We were supposed to hide behind trees or bushes when Kirsten led them towards the picnic area, then run out to surprise them but apparently we weren't fast enough...hahaha! Oh well :-)
We ended up moving picnic spots three times to avoid the sun. It was really really hot :-(
There was a lot of food!!! I bought pizza bread and the Hades bread from Duke bakery but I don't think it was enough for everyone. :-( Other than that, there were ham sandwiches, fish fingers, seaweed chicken, chicken karage, roasted chicken (so much chicken hehe), sausages, tuna, biscuits, potato salad, potato chips and drinks!!! It was all really yummy too :-)
Preparing the cards for Michelle and Lawrence!
Setting up the food
Michelle and Lawrence being (partially) surprised at our, um, surprise.
After eating and chatting, we took photos because some people had to leave earlier!
(myself included :()
Asher playing with Yi Wen's selfie stick (which is remote-controlled!!!)
We took lots of Polaroids as well hahaha it was a fun outing and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves!!! :-)

I volunteered today for the first time in three weeks. I tried last week but had to leave early because of coughing. Today I made it through the whole time. I can take a deep breath without going into spasms. I slept through the night without waking up coughing!
My flowers got their weekly portion of fertilizer, I cooked...ran the dishwasher...if I could just get over my poison ivy, I would be fine!
