To Manchester / Dublin
James, my room mate dropped me at the airport on Saturday with plenty of time to spare before my 725pm flight. I got through security with no problems and got to the gate to ask how it looked for me getting on. The gate agent informed me I was 6th on the list for Standby and there were two seats on the plane. Waited around nervously until the flight boarded and apparently some people didn't show up because I got on.
The flight was uneventful, I was in coach, and they had no movies. I tried to sleep most of the time, probably got an hour. Midway through the flight there was some commotion among the flight attendants and they called over the intercom asking for a Doctor, Nurse or EMT... apparently some guy had passed out. We landed extremely early in Manchester, and had to bring on the EMT to get the guy off. Also they didn't have a gate ready so they brought a ramp and we deboarded onto a bus that took us to the terminal.
I got through customs no problem, jumped on a train to Manchester Picadilly and then proceeded to walk around town for a while, hoping to find a church to go to since it was Sunday morning. I almost immediately ran into some guys doing street evangelism and talking to people about Jesus. I asked them if they knew of any good churches, and they suggested a couple, but we ended up hanging out for a while and I went to a Methodist church with them. It wasn't brilliant but I felt somewhat encouraged. Tony and Rob were the two guys and were clearly pretty evangelical and perhaps slightly pentacostal, but were nice and we had some good discussions.
After church I went back up to the train station to meet Billy who I hadn't been in contact with but who I had arranged to meet at the train station after he arrived. I was afraid I had not emphasized enough that we were to meet at Manchester Picadilly, but I couldn't get in touch with him because my American phone is CDMA and doesnt work in England, and my English phone had no charge. However, after a couple of hours of waiting, we bumped into each other.
Then we proceeded to find a hostel to stay at, ended up going to the Hilton Chambers. Then we figured out our phone situation by putting some more money on my Virgin Sim which I was surprised still worked, and then Jason Perrin, the coach of the Wales team and one of the organizers of Gin and Juice, the team we're playing for picked us up and we went to a barbeque with the wales team at the club they practice at. The food and company were good. I like the way the English set up club sports, having a club house and lots of different sports there, along with all the developmental teams.
After that one of the guys who is playing for Gin and Juice took us home and we found a pub to watch the game at. We were both insanely tired so we stayed for a half and then headed back to the hostel where we watched the second half. I fell asleep a couple of times but watched overtime and Spain win it all. Then I went to bed and was woken up a number of times by having to urinate badly and also the guy next to us snoring loudly. Also it was loud outside.
The next morning we got up at 5 or so to try to catch our plane. We got all our luggage and walked to the train station expecting to be able to use the left luggage lockers to store our luggage, but were dismayed to find it not open! So we decided to walk back and see if the hostel would let us store the luggage for a few days, which the guy there was kind enough to allow. At this time though we were running low on time, so headed back to the station and found the quickest train to the airport... which left at 645. Our board time was 725, and the plane was supposed to leave at 755... once getting there we ran to the terminal, and had major faff getting through security since first Bill had to get his international passport checked, then he had to put his liquids in a bag. Also, his ipad and bag both had to be put through the scanner twice. We didn't get through security until at least 740, at which point we pretty much sprinted to the gate. Thankfully the plane was massively delayed and so no one had boarded at all, which was a massive relief. I realised though that running there I had dropped my boarding pass and so would be forced to board last? So I walked back through the terminal and managed to find it, sitting on the ground. Anyway we got on the plane and made it to Dublin.
Upon arriving we took a 6 euro bus into town, found our hostel, showered, etc, and made our way out and about. The theme was that we were unable to do more than one thing at a time away from the hostel because we kept losing/forgetting the map and having to go back. More later.

The primary concern is that I still do not have a job. That is both good and bad. Mostly bad, although it could be good, if I looked at it that way, and actually used that. See, it's bad obviously because I have no money, and most of my time is spent looking for jobs, or fretting over the fact that I don't have one. Although if I'd allow it to be, it would be good, because I don't have anything to do, and I'm in LONDON and one doesn't really have to spent money to have fun here (there are lots of free museums, most of which I still have not seen). As far a job leads, I have one fairly definite lead. I am going for a trial this Sunday at a little restaurant around the corner in Exmouth market called The Ambassador. The guy didn't sound to excited that I am only here until December 9th, but he said he'd give me a shot, which is more than anyone else has done. Any waitering tips (advice, or actual money) would be greatly appreciated at this point.
So what HAVE I been doing you ask? Well, I went to St. Ives in Cornwall for a week, which I have not yet fully reported on. That was a good experience over all, being somewhat cold and rainy, but with spots of sun peeking through every so often. It actually was out enough to burn my nose! I went surfing in a wet suit! I also had a near death experience. There are these flags that one is supposed to stay between while surfing, which is understandable because this beach is basically a beach between two cliffs and a large number of jagged rocks. So the flags keep you away from the rocks. And the lifeguards are pretty good at whistling at you if you get out of the flag area, but not so good at the actual saving part if you're about to be dashed against rocks, as I unfortunately found out. Anyway, so the surf carries you to one side of the beach, which I was aware of, but unfortunately by the time that I thought it would be appropriate to correct for the surf it was way to late. I was pummelled by wave after wave of raging sea and found myself pecariously close to a huge sharp rock. At this point I had been so innundated by huge waves that my feet were all tangled in the surf board cord, and I was fighting to keep my head above water long enough to take a breath, all the while trying frantically to paddle away from the rocks. Eventually, I just let the surf carry me to the other side of the rocks and found a little spot to swim to shore. The lifeguards were apparently totally oblivious to the fact that I was about to die. But I don't really blame them. Anyway, I took a short break of about 2 minutes, and then jumped back in the water for more! I managed to stay in the flagged region after that, and actually stood up a couple of times!
Other activites in St. Ives included, but were definitely not limited to: eating lots of cornish pasties, cornish fudge, fish and chips, a good amount of drinking (or maybe too much...); an utterly pointless farce of a boat ride, some swimming in the freezing sea (as little of that as possible), lots of reading a book called Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, which I highly recommend, lots of walking, some by myself, some with the Hollands. As far as other people staying there: we had two houses next to each other. In our house, we had: Catherine, Jonathan, Jonathan's friends Rhiannon, Lizzie, Will, Ben, and some of the time Ed and some others, along with Jerry, Lizzie's mum. In the other house, the Hollands stayed: Peter, Margaret, Martin, and some of the time Kate. It was fun to see them again, as although I saw Margaret at Richard's wedding a couple of years ago, it's been like 8 years since I saw any of the others.
I left St. Ives on Friday afternoon to go to Bath to compete in the Bath 8's annual tournament. I met up with Ken and Giles, some members of my team Hillcroft at the train station, and we proceeded back to Ken's house to drop our stuff. Then we went out in the center of town, where I met lots of lacrosse players from all over, most notably a guy from Santa Clara (I played them 3 or 4 times over the last few years at A&M). We went to a fairly lame night club where the Irish guy I was with amused me greatly by bouncing from group of girls to group of girls getting flatly rejected because he'd just start dancing in, on and among them freely. Eventually he danced into the wrong group of girls, and onto this intense looking guy's girlfriend. He then proceeded to get very angry, and wouldn't stop staring at the Irish guy. I don't know if that led to a fight or not, but the Irish guy got kicked out of the club, amusingly. I slept on the couch at Ken's house, in a room full of random lacrosse guys from all over the place. I think I had one of the best spots, and I allowed the pillows to be used as someone else's bed on the floor. Although I wouldn't allow the random guy next to me to steal the blanket I was using... that was going to far. We all woke up unreasonably early (at perhaps 7am) and began preparing for the tournament. I left at around 8:30 or 9 with some Bath Uni guys who actually knew where they were going (a group of London guys had set out earlier without a clue as to where to go). We got breakfast at a pastry shop, and walked to the fields.
The format for the tournament is: each team plays perhaps 8 or 10 very short 10 minute games (5 minute halfs) agianst most of the other teams in their division. The field is shorter, and each team plays with 8 players (2 attack, 2 defense, 3 middies, and a goalie). I think I played the entire time, minus time minutes at the end of the last game which we were winning like 5-1 (a lot for such short games), which was fun, except that my ankle quickly deteriorated. I had to buy some tape and tape it up mid way through the day. But our team did not do well, and the only game we won was the last one. We tied one other, and lost the others by like 1 or 2 points each. Strangely we played a wide range of team skill levels and seemed to do equally well (or badly) against all of them. Anyway, Hillcroft were quite glad to have me I think, and I did pretty well, scoring maybe 10-15 goals for the day. The other unfortunate thing about the day was that it rained steadily and heavily for the last half, which meant we ( and all out stuff ) got really wet and the fields became really slick, and it made losing that much worse. I left before most other people, at like 6pm, because I needed to get my stuff from Ken's house and make a train that was leaving sometime in the evening, but I couldn't remember when, and the ticket was at Ken's house with my stuff. So I took a taxi from the city to Ken's house, and grabbed my stuff, got back in the taxi, and went straight to the train station, not realizing that my train was not until 10pm. So, without anywhere to put my stuff (believe me, I looked), I finished my book, and waited in the station for the next few hours. Quite annoying. But I made it home eventually.
So what have I done since then? Not a lot. Lot's of job searching online and in person, many CV revisions. I went to Camden town church the next Sunday, which again was cool, and spent the entire day hanging out with some people from Church. We went to an open mic in a pub called The Green Note, at which one of the pastors of the church, Bruce, played. It was fairly folky and really good actually. After that a couple of us went to evening service at Grace Church Hackney, and then had some dinner, and went to the pub! So I got home from church at like 9pm. Basically I did the same thing this Sunday, but most of the day I was helping Bruce and PJ (his wife) move house for most of the day.
Other than that, there is not much of note, so I'll stop boring you, or rather, stop feeding your boredom, whichever may be the case, and leave it at that.

Anyway, I've been walking around a lot, getting to know this area. It's Islington, north of the Thames, and very central in London. There are a million restaurants and pubs nearby, which is sweet. That's one thing we've been doing a lot of, is going to the pub. There may have been 2 days that I have NOT gone to the pub.... which is why I recently bought some running shoes.
First weekend I was here we went to Camden a couple of times, which is an incredibly trendy area of town fairly close to here just sort of north west. I really enjoyed it, and met some Australian girls, although two of them went back to Australia the next day, and the other refused to return text messages. Oh well.
On Sunday I went to Catherine's local church. I had planned to go to a new church plant in Camden, but the pastor did not get back to me in time for that to happen, so I went this past week instead. I liked the emphasis that Catherine's church put on the unity of the church, although I don't know that the gospel was that clearly presented. I really enjoyed the Camden church last Sunday though, the leader, Peter Harris, made a very useful defense of why the Church should take social action by helping those in need, which although I have obviously heard some of before, he made some new points, such as the fact that people learn by doing, not only by hearing, so in serving others we more acutely learn of Christ's love and service to us.
Not too much of else of note has happened. Notable experiences include: going to the british museum, having a really bad headache and going on a hunt for painkillers at 4:30am, going to watch a midsummer night's dream at the globe theatre and then having a couple of pints with the guy who played Oberon afterwards, taking a 3 hour bus ride to go to somewhere that should have taken 30 minutes (due to some misdirection by Henry's friends. Henry is a friend of Jonnie's.)
Also, lots of job applications, and no responses, applying for an NI number (National Insurance number, like a Social Security number, needed to work.) Eating lots of salt and vinegar crisps.
Oh, went to the Carnival on Monday of this week, that was crazy and awesome. It is apparently the 2nd biggest street party in the world, biggest in Europe. There are like a million stands with people selling jerk chicken, rice, corn, etc.. along with some massive DJ stations with incredible sound systems. Favorite quote: "BEER! ICE COLD! GET IT HERE! (and hasheesh)", along with "SKY JUICE!!! (with rum.)" There I met (not on accident) Nadia my first cousin on my mum's side and her boyfriend, which was really cool. I haven't seen her for at least 4 years! We got out of there pretty quick though when it started to get dark because apparently thats when the stabbings start happening. And its a good thing we did, there was a small scale war between the police and some 'youths' who were throwing bricks and stuff later that night.
I also met up with a lacrosse team last Wednesday (and will again tonight) to practice a little. They are a premier club team here in London, so hopefully I'll be playing with them come October when the season starts. The level of play was perhaps slightly lower than at A&M, and they were very glad to have me out there, which was nice. They practice on Clapham common, a huge park in South London. I think they commonly come in 4th or 5th out of 8 to 10 clubs in the area.
Right, well there probably isn't too much else to note. A day to day exposition of what I have done would be over the top, but you got the highlights.

spain was awesome, although we didnt have enough time and we spent way too much money. we spent most of the time in valencia. scott lived with a family there actually from columbia. he lived maybe 30 minutes walk from the center of town, which was busy most of the time. people tend to eat late, and generally do everything late. we spent a lot of time walking actually... but it was still fun. when i got there on thursday i was extremely tired, having been awake for like 40 hours or something... but scott wanted to go out anyway, so we did. we went to check out the center of town and some of the plazas there. bars usually stay open til 2am, and then the discotecas open after that, til like 5am or later sometimes. we stayed out until like 3 but then i was just way too tired, so we went home and slept. we woke up at like 10 and then went to the center and checked out some of the shops and stuff.
scott had been dating this slovakian girl there for the last 3 weeks, interestingly. so we ended up hanging out with her and her friends/relatives quite a lot ( a group of like 7 or 8 slovaks living in a single flat with one bathroom! they're crazy but fun. ). scott tends to leave stuff everywhere, and he left a cd that he bought from a shop earlier in the day at a cafe, and so we spent much of the late afternoon on friday looking for that.... then we went out again in the evening with the slovakians again. they spoke good english and really good spanish, so we got a long pretty well.
one of the central squares that most of the cafes are around and that is sort of the center of the night life was really cool. people go there to skateboard and roller blade and blow fire, and juggle, and sing etc.. late into the night. so we'd sit for hours outside a cafe and just watch people and talk, which was really nice.
i think on saturday lucia, scott's girl, went to london, so we didnt see her any more, but all the rest of the slovakians were staying in madrid and working for another month or so. anyway, saturday afternoon we went to the beach and sat under a big umbrella for like 6 hours. so i didn't get sunburned or really even tanned at all, which was good. the sun says up really late there, so we left the beach at like 8pm still before sunset. then we went out agaaiin.
our plan was go to church on sunday, and then catch a train at 2:20 to madrid, where we would stay until tuesday when we were leaving.
so we got up at like 9, packed up, and went to the catholic cathedral down in the center (scott had been going there for his time there) for mass at like 11. the service was in spanish, so i didn't catch any of it, but it was fairly short and seemed quite traditionally catholic. then we went to the train station at like 12:30 i guess. thennn we misread the sign that had train times, and saw MADRID 14:53 blinking, and both assumed that it meant our train was delayed until then. so we went off to sit in a cafe for a while since the train station was like 7000 kelvin (as were most indoor places). and then at like 2:15 we decided to walk back to the station to be in good time for our train. well as we walked into the station, we saw one of the trains with a sign labeled MADRID 14:20 blinking. and so we were like CRAP and ran up and then the train started pulling away and the guy standing there was like "bye bye". arg so we missed our train on sunday. that was the last train of the day. sooo we could either take a bus at 1am, or take a train the next day at like 11:25. fortunately we were able to transfer our tickets to the next day for only 8 euros, so we did that. annd then we didnt want to go back to where we were staying because it cost 20 euros a night, and we were already going to have to pay for the hotel we'd arranged in madrid (which was expensive because all the cheaper places were booked up), so we called up the slovakians and they had some space on their couch for us to stay, so we spent another night in valencia.
then the next day we made our train to madrid, and got in around 3pm i guess, and got to our hotel fine. my friend daniela who lived in spain for like 6 months was nice enough to email a huge list of stuff that must be done in madrid, so we tried to knock out a lot of it, but unfortunately we weren't very good at navigating, although we did manage to eat at this really good calimari sandwich place in one of the plazas. madrid was more touristy than valencia, and we couldn't figure out where everyone went after like 1am. daniela had told us about this one club that apparently has 7 floors with different music on each floor, but we couldn't find it despite walking around for like 3 hours.
anyway, then the next day we woke up at 9 and went to the airport where we parted ways to head home. the rest of the trip was very uneventful, and i got back here fine.

Who is tilda swinton dating
She made her professional film debut in his 1976 remake of the 1933 action-adventure classic King Kong, for which she won her first Golden Globe Award.
In 1982, she became the first performer in 40 years she won her second Golden Globe Award and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as a soap opera star in Tootsie, and was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of the troubled actress Frances Farmer, in Frances.
It is based on a 1996 novel by Brian Moore, with a screenplay written by Ronald Harwood.
The plot was inspired by the true story of Paul Touvier, a Vichy French police official, who was indicted after World War II for war crimes.
You're welcome, America." See video: VH1's 'Dating Naked' Pulls Off Nude Flash Mob in Downtown LA On Sept.
18, VH1 will air "Dating Naked: The Wedding," which will feature the wedding of "Dating Naked" couple Ashley and Alika as they tie the knot in an all-nude — guests included — ceremony.
It seems like just yesterday that Tilda Swinton was getting good-naturedly mocked by her longtime pal George Clooney about the hardships of parenting.The murder of "Manenbaum" attracts the interest of local police and eventually the persistent Investigating Judge Annemarie Livi (Tilda Swinton).VH1 doesn't plan to strip "Dating Naked" from its schedule anytime soon.In 1944, Touvier ordered the execution of seven Jews in retaliation for the Resistance's assassination of Vichy France minister Philippe Henriot.For decades after the war he escaped trial thanks to an intricate web of protection, which allegedly included senior members of the Roman Catholic priesthood. Pierre Brossard (Michael Caine), a French Nazi collaborator, orders seven Jews executed during World War II.

Yes, Conner made it back from his 1st mission trip!!!
Conner went to the "Alive In You" trip with our church. There were about 407 Catholic teens that attended this summer (not all from our church of course).
Conner spent the week scraping paint and repainting the outside of a house. He has some blisters on his hands to show that he did indeed work. Oh, he also brought home some poison ivy on his arms and legs. Poor Conner looks at a poison ivy plant and it hops on his body. He is surviving well.
Sunday (father's day) Chris and I met Conner at church in the afternoon to welcome the group home, eat lunch together and then hear a little about the trip. By the stories that were told it sounds as if all the kids had a great time and took something away from the trip. Conner did tell me that he will go on more mission trips.... hmmm maybe we need to send Conner and Chris on a medical mission to a Spanish speaking country.... Chris can treat and Conner can translate. We will have to look into that.
I want to thank everyone that donated to Conner's trip.... It was because of you he was able to participate in such a wonderful experience.

Trump threatens NBC, then says it's 'disgusting' press can 'write whatever it wants'
Updated 06:48 AM PHT Thu, October 12, 2017
maxItemsPerPage: 10

(CNN Money) — President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon that he found it "frankly disgusting the press is able to write whatever it wants to write."
Asked later whether he believed there "should be limits on what the press should write" -- which would likely conflict with the First Amendment, which guarantees both free expression and a free press -- Trump said, "No. The press should speak more honestly." Still, his comment raised eyebrows, especially because it was the latest remark in a string of heightened attacks Trump has leveled against the press in recent days.
Just Wednesday morning, Trump had tweeted that media companies which report critically on him should be punished by having their television station licenses revoked.
In a tweet, the president decried the supposed "fake news coming out of NBC and the Networks." He asked, "At what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!"
Trump seems to have been furious over an NBC News report that said he wanted a tenfold increase in the U.S.' nuclear arsenal. Earlier in the morning he claimed the story was "pure fiction" and "made up to demean."
Trump's veiled threat may contribute to the increasingly chilly atmosphere journalists in the U.S. are working under during his administration. But his threat is essentially toothless.
First of all, there is no single license for NBC or any other national television network. Licenses are granted to individual local stations -- and NBC doesn't even own most of the stations that broadcast its content across the country. And it is extremely unusual for any station's license to be taken away for any reason, much less for a political vendetta.
The licenses for local television stations are subject to review by the Federal Communications Commission every eight years.
It would not be possible for Trump or his allies to challenge all of the licenses held by NBC in one fell swoop. Individuals who reside in the areas the local channel airs would have to submit complaints to the FCC.
There is precedent for political allies of a president challenging local licenses. It happened under Richard Nixon in the 1970s, when a friend of Nixon's tried to take over a license held by the Washington Post. Nixon's ally did not succeed in his bid.
Short of gross misconduct on the part of a challenged station, it's unlikely any other such attempt now would be successful either.
"Whatever other legal problems [NBC parent] Comcast may have, this is not one of them," Andrew Jay Schwartzman, an attorney who works at the Georgetown University Law Center and specializes in telecommunications law, told CNN. "Comcast knows full well that the FCC will never, ever, deny its license renewal applications."
The FCC is technically an independent body, not subject to the president's orders. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai -- who is a Republican appointed to his current post by Trump -- said in March that his job is not to be a "political actor."
"It is simply to be somebody at the FCC who, as I said, is administering the laws of the United States," Pai said. "I'm simply not going to wade into that kind of political debate."
Neither Pai nor an FCC spokesperson immediately responded to requests for comment about Trump's tweet. But former FCC officials were quick to skewer the president.
"To me it's just incomprehensible that because of the content of NBC News that somehow their license would be at risk," Alfred Sykes, a Republican who served as chairman of the FCC under George H.W. Bush, told The Wrap.
"This madcap threat, if pursued, would be blatant and unacceptable intervention in the decisions of an independent agency," echoed Michael Copps, a Democrat who served as FCC commissioner under both George W. Bush and Barack Obama, in a statement to HuffPost. "The law does not countenance such interference. President Trump might be happier as emperor, but I think the American people would strip him of his clothes on this issued.
A spokesperson for NBC declined to comment.
Trump has increased his attacks on the media in the past week. Last week, he urged the Senate Intelligence Committee to investigate news outlets for publishing supposed "fake" stories. Over the weekend, he hinted it was perhaps time for a law that would require broadcasters to give equal time to both sides of the political debate when discussing public policy.
"At what point are we going to silence media critical of the President?" tweeted Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. "When we cease to have a First Amendment and a democratic government."
This story was first published on CNN.com, "Trump threatens NBC, then says it's 'disgusting' press can 'write whatever it wants'"

CHICAGO — Regarding applying ``prevailing wages`` for union members who are employed by the city, I believe that such an action by the city is totally unjustified. People who work for a government agency have ancillary benefits that exceed those in the private sector: work independent of the weather, greater job security, greater health benefits and an exceptionally generous, if not excessive, holiday schedule.
To pay these employees equal wages is wrong. Government officials have a responsibility to the taxpayers to secure labor and services at the lowest cost possible. To allow these wages is further skinning of the taxpayers.

What I said, in the beginning,
Just before we first met?
I explained I was free,
A duet: we can just not be,
And yet this is spilling,
From the faces of people,
In places where we go,
And its sticky like treacle.
It kills all freedom,
Kills all fun,
Kills the friendship we could have had,
When I'm pushed away,
And people say;
He's she's hers his there were,
Over there, goes your lad.
Your only tying yourself
To something, that will slip away,
Unnoticed: gone,
But don't think, don't blame me,
Asking where did it go wrong,
Sit back, think, wait,
I've got weight,
We had discussed this before
Our first date;
And don't say I made things hard,
Pouring love and affection
On you, that is how it works,
That is just what to do;
To fill our need, not our life,
Not anything more,
Just a few dates
Every week, or two,
And besides I am gone,
Going, gone for good,
In a month, or two.
Now don't think me wrong,
I love spending time with you,
When you are here;
But I dread and I fear,
That you think and you feel,
That we are more than we are.

In Evansville, Indiana, a 38-year old firefighter and youth pastor waved at officers in a police car. Then:
"I remember looking down the barrel of a Taser, because (the officer) was gritting his teeth and saying, 'Don't make me pull this trigger,'" Madison said Wednesday afternoon.
It seems the police car made a sudden turn in front of him as he was about to blow through a stop sign. Madison says that when he saw it was the police, he waved. Whether Madison was about to flip off the cops or not, their response was over the top.
"The officer jumped out and says, 'What are you doing throwing your hands up at us?'" Madison said. "He is talking to me as he is coming toward me. I tried to explain, but I couldn't get a word in edgewise."
Madison knew the local police chief and tried to call him,
However, the officer told him to put the phone down. Madison said that when he hesitated, the officer grabbed his arm holding the phone, causing Madison to flinch.
Before he knew it, Madison said, the officer had his stun device out.
"It was literally maybe inches from my face," he said. "I immediately threw my hands in the air. What he asked me to do I was more than willing to do. I said 'Please don't hurt me.' The next thing I know I'm laying down the ground and they cuffed me."
When the officers discovered Madison was a firefighter and that he indeed knew the police chief, they tried to smooth things over.
Here's a photo of the incident taken by a passerby:
I don't care if Madison gave the officers the finger. Since when did American citizens lose their right to do so? Don't we expect police officers to show more self control than the average person? And what happened to "all men are created equal"? Must we now avert our eyes and bow our heads when police officers pass by, as if they were royalty or gods? They are public servants. If law enforcement culture no longer sees itself that way, we're in big trouble.
From some of my recent posts, it may seem that I lack respect for law enforcement. That is not the case. As I've said before, they have a dangerous and often thankless job. They risk their lives for the sake of others and are therefore heroes.
On the other hand, something has gone wrong in law enforcement and that's what I've been writing about.
Radley Balko gave an excellent talk on his book Rise of the Warrior Cop. It's over an hour long but very informative. Here is a link to it at C-Span's video library.
Here are the thoughts of a former police officer:
In the following videos, you'll see what happened to an animal rights activist after he was asked to leave a rodeo. In the first, you'll see how the police followed him from the rodeo and then stopped him. In the second, you'll hear the officer's own recording of the event and how their police department is controlled by the rodeo board.

I just finished the book Romance Languages – A Historical Introduction (RL), and want to just say, "Wow." This was a superb book, and I take great pleasure in recommending it. Specifically, for someone who likes language(s), and finds the processes that drive sound change and morphology interesting, this is an excellent read.
From the start, RL singles out five languages to base its comparative studies on, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish. There are in fact other Romance languages in existence, and the distinction (or lack thereof) between a dialect and language plays a part in the discussion. But these five are chosen because they have gone on to become national languages. That being said, Romanian and Portuguese are treated sparingly through the bulk of the text, Romanian more so than Portuguese. However, each of these receives its own chapter to make up for this, owing to the distinctive historical trajectory each language takes, differentiating them from the main stream of Romance and Popular Latin. The Romanian chapter leaves quite a bit open for discussion. It also makes a number of tentative claims, which is expected since historical reconstruction is not at all clear for this language.
The Popular Latin presented in this book was given quite a bit of support, and is essential for understanding the changes that drove sound change from Latin towards the distinctive modern Romance languages. However, since much of this transmission was oral, the book is continually having to tag word forms with an asterisk, indicating that there is no direct textual evidence of the form. Obviously one should read this text and understand that there is still a lot of study in this field, with competing opinions about many of the historical changes in specific forms (and the authors are careful to make this clear).
This book is aimed at students with some linguistic study under their belt. It is not as dense as some texts I have seen that demonstrate the phonology and morphology of a language, nor is it an easy read for someone without a linguistic background. Prior study of Latin is expected (I am self-taught), and some prior study of linguistics is helpful, as it relies heavily on IPA to describe forms. I don't have as good a grasp on IPA as I would like, but I have studied many different languages and thus have covered articulation and phonetics more contextually. I found this book challenging, without being overwhelming. In fact, by the middle, I had a much better handle on IPA symbols that relate to the Romance family. Learning in context is a powerful tool, without doubt.
As phonetic and morphological change processes are named, they are given good descriptions (and each of these terms is included in a guide near the back). This was very helpful. Not as much time is spent on terminology for articulation, and this was a little bit more problematic as it is an important concept for dealing with sound changes. However, RL tended to describe changes in terms of the processes that occurred rather than the physical articulation that allowed or promoted those changes, so the emphasis on process vocabulary makes sense.
The book is littered with practice exercises and inline questions to force grappling with the information. The end of each chapter provides additional questions that require more analysis and creative thought about the processes that have been looked at. These were excellent, and make this text more than just descriptive. However, the major failure of this book, in my mind, is there is no answer key. Other than the inline questions, no answers are provided for practice exercises or chapter-end exercises. This made the exercises interesting, but something short of what might have been hoped for.
Finally, the bibliography at the end is extensive and will allow the interested reader to delve where they will. As someone who read this on his own time (not as part of a linguistics course or program), that is very helpful.
In any case, I give this book ★★★★☆. A descriptive answer key for the exercises would have made this the perfect book for the budding linguist.

The 24-year-old singer posted a snap on her Instagram page after treating herself to a spot of retail therapy in Christian Louboutin and Louis Vuitton. Show off! Tulisa wasn't shy as she showed off her designer purchases after indulging in a spot of retail therapy at Christian Louboutin and Louis Vuitton on Monday With designer bags piled into the front seat of her soft-top Audi, the former X Factor judge looked positively defiant as she stuck her fingers up at the camera and poked out her tongue playfully. Hola Chicas! Tulisa's ex Danny Simpson parties with some newfound female pals in Ibiza The N-Dubz starlet would have no doubt dropped a fair amount of cash on her purchases, with the average pair of Louboutin heels retailing between 500 and 800. Writing alongside the snap, Tulisa paid reference to her 'The Female Boss' tag: 'What's a girl 2 do….change is coming #TFB #evolution.' Starting over: The 24-year-old singer was also sporting new lighter locks after undergoing a makeover over the weekend The star was also showing off her newly lightened locks after undergoing a transformation over the weekend ahead of her upcoming holiday in Ibiza. Perhaps her new shoes were also bought for her sunshine break, as the singer was somewhat unusually spotted sporting a pair of skyscraper heels during a holiday at Marbella's Ocean Beach Club last month. Her recent change in image comes after it was reported Tulisa is planning on starting a new life for herself in the US following her dramatic fall from grace last month. Strutting her stuff: The former X Factor judge seems to be putting a dramatic few weeks behind her following her drugs arrest last month Get More Information A source told Closer magazine: Tulisa says as soon as all this drama is over, she wants to move to Miami to start a new life. She loves it there and has friends there who say they will help her out.
Louis Vuitton Raised Most Non-Leather Handbag Prices, HSBC Says
and U.S., and by 5 percent to 10 percent in Asian markets including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, the analyst wrote. The euros strength against some currencies may lead LVMH to charge more, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bernard Arnault said Jan. 31. Vuittons price increase in Japan, the biggest ever by the brand in the country, was taken to offset the impact of the yens slide on sales, the company said Feb. 20. In addition to protecting margins, the price increases must be seen, in our view, as a means to accelerate LVs repositioning towards more leather, Belge wrote.

I didn't have a New Years Resolution to take more pictures, but I happen to have one for nearly every day in Jan. I thought I'd share a few with you!
Aliah went to her first day of Sunbeams, and Inara went to her first day of Nursery.
We made homemade pizza,
practiced the piano,
and played with Daddy.
Aliah learned about the Statue of Liberty,
and now thinks this is the appropriate pose for every picture.
Inara continued her obsession with having her shoes on at all times,
This was the best night by far. We had show tunes blasting, I was washing dishes, Spencer was folding laundry, and these two little princesses were dancing the night away!
I hope your January was as fun filled as ours!

Wherever and whatever this company is, this is one of the biggest enemies of the Internet which produces these spywares for the government agencies in Bahrain and the former government of Egypt. Not only are the desktop and laptop computers being affected, but also the mobile devices such as the smartphones. The victims are likely to be the civilians and the journalists similar to whatever is happening in other countries as well. It may be a bigger shame that this spyware is already sold off to various Asian countries like Thailand, China, Japan, etc. and it looks like it hasn't been unleashed yet. US also has this spyware bought but then, it may seem that China is already banning the foreign products due to that similar fact that the similar spywares are already inside those products. What about the local products? Are they infected by this?
Basically, this spyware disguises itself as whatever plugin installed on every website but disabling every plugin in a browser may break the freedom of net-surfing as you're not able to watch Youtube videos like you probably want for instance. Not to mention that the HTML5 for YouTube can behave like there's still nothing wrong or maybe something incomplete and fucked up. Also, it has been attacking the Bahraini activists like trying to detect the place for some destructive-ass bad guys there. And of course, nobody likes those who blow up stuffs because it's traumatic for cilivians like us.

Mia and I ended the year 2008 and started 2009 surrounded by people who love us. Our sweet Daryl has been in Kilgore, Tx (about 4 1/2 hours away) since early Sunday morning. He's out there working on a huge project, and had all his ducks in a row. If two other pieces of the puzzle would have had theirs in a row, he would have been home by Wed...New Years Eve. Well, that didn't happen, and I totally understand, but that doesn't help how much I miss him.
On to the people that have surrounded us with love...I'd like to thank some of the dearest people (and animals) in the world ~ Bonnie, Josh, Ben, Sam, Tallulah and Tucker for having us at their home, hanging with us, feeding us, and just being fabulous friends. Then there's Geni, Kell, Beckah, Noah, Miranda, Natalie, Allie, Garnier and Bill Pickles, who've generously done the same. Then today, the sweetest in-laws in the world had us over. Pawpaw had his little helper for the day and Nana had her little cook. I was able to relax and enjoy my family and some quiet time while Mia was going about her business tending to things that needed tending to.
I know down deep, that I would NOT be ok right now if it wasn't for every single one of those people...and animals.
Life is good. I have proof.
Now, since I've been so relaxed and immersed in the lives of other families, I didn't take many shots at all. None at Bonnie's, none at Geni's, and only four at Nana and Pawpaw's. So, here they are:
Hello 2009!

Margo got a call from her dad, Merlin, who lives in West Bend WI. He had chest pain and went into the doctor who sent him to Frodert Hospital in Milwaukee. After several tests, he is headed for heart bypass surgery Friday with a possible valve replacement.
Margo thinks he will be in the hospital until later next week and then back to his condo in West Bend. She plans to stay until he is ready to be on his own again--probably 3 weeks or so.
She will miss our 40th wedding anniversary coming up on Sunday the 4th of March and probably my knee replacement on March 12th here at Mayo Clinic. Son Scott finishes his winter job at the ski resort on the 11th and plans to babysit me until I am walking on my own (2 nights in the hospital and then home with a walker or canes and walking on my own relatively soon).
With all the medical stuff, it looks like tapping the maples will wait until the weekend of the 17th, although if you look at the forecast for Cushing WI
Click to see Cushing 10 day forecast it shows some high 40s for next week! It is awful tempting to start tapping the maples already on Monday!
This week, being pretty much limited to hobbling around, I plan to get as much of the "75th Anniversary of the Sterling Old Settlers Picnic" book together as I can and continue working on the history of Alabama WI (ghost town between Cushing and Atlas settled by Civil War era Alabamians migrating to WI in 1860s).
Margo and I were reminiscing about our first date. We were working at the same place in West Bend, WI. I invited her to go to a movie in northern Milwaukee, where I was staying with my brother, Marv. After the movie, we came out and my 1967 Rambler Rogue was gone. "Kids joy riding," said the cop. I called Marv to take us home (Margo to the farm outside of West Bend) and on the way out of her driveway, he ran over Jack, her family's dog. Jack ran off yelping with his tail between his legs (a sore paw is all he got) and we drove off hoping Margo's parents would think it was someone else! The car was recovered undamaged the next day. That was in May of 1971--a first date to remember!

10-second review: Why collect significant sentences?
Teaching English, How To…. Raymond Stopper. Xlibris. 2004.
The first group of sentences is from
"Significant sentences" are one consequence of my view about the reasons for reading literature. I collect them because they offer memorable insights into life and into any number of topics related to living.
How do I use them? Essentially, I collect and read significant sentences for the purpose of reflection.
Sometimes I will comment in writing at length on a sentence, relating the idea to my own experience.
Significant sentences become useful quotes when I write and when I engage in public speaking.
Finally, significant sentences are a record of the many hours I have spent absorbed in reading literature and nonfiction. They enable me to return to my favorite works and to think again about each work's memorable ideas. They stimulate reflection.
Rereading significant sentences is a powerful method of recalling the ideas, spirit and essence of books.
Significant sentences are ideas and ideas are the reason for my being a life-long reader.

FALLS CHURCH, Va.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Senior media and audio visual executives are most focused on cost savings (54 percent), business process improvement (50 percent) and customer engagement (44 percent), according to the findings of the 2016 Media & AV Insights Survey report by TeamPeople, a staffing and consulting services firm in the media and AV industry. Despite 63 percent of companies pursuing growth-oriented strategies this year, only four in ten (42 percent) are tracking the return on investment (ROI) of their projects. Interestingly, 75 percent of CEO respondents made it clear they want to see ROI metrics.
"Almost two-thirds of senior media and AV execs are pursuing growth strategies, but 42 percent are failing to use the technology and tools available to them to measure those strategies"
TeamPeople gathered and analyzed responses from senior media and AV executives to share emerging trends, insights into the industry's top priorities, and companies' plans for the future.
Among the discoveries of the survey is how trends and findings vary depending on the size of the media and AV organization:
- Fourteen percent more of larger media and AV organizations (revenues or spend in excess of $50 million) are anticipating growth this year compared to smaller companies (revenues or spend less than $1 million).
- Larger firms are less likely to add headcount in 2016, with 28 percent increasing their teams compared to 33 percent of mid-sized firms.
- Mid-sized companies (revenues or spend between $1 and 50 million) are struggling most in their ability to respond to digital disruption, with 41 percent reporting concern in this area. Digital disruption is defined as changes enabled by digital technologies that occur at a pace and magnitude that disrupt established ways of doing business. This is compared to 28 percent of large companies and seven percent of small companies, which may have access to more resources and the ability to be nimbler, respectively.
- Smaller companies are finding it easier to attract and retain talent. Thirty-seven percent of smaller firms report a skills shortage, compared to 64 percent of larger firms.
- Smaller organizations are almost three times as likely to experience a pay cut this year compared to mid-sized and large organizations. One of five executives at small firms reports a decrease in compensation.
- Eighty-six percent of small firms say they develop skills in-house for their workforce, compared to 72 percent of large firms.
"Almost two-thirds of senior media and AV execs are pursuing growth strategies, but 42 percent are failing to use the technology and tools available to them to measure those strategies," said Brian Frydenlund, principal of TeamPeople. "Our survey report shares insights on where some may be missing the mark with technology and talent, and highlights the opportunities they have to reach their growth goals."
Other key findings from the survey include:
- The most in-demand skills include producers and editors (51 percent); video editors (45 percent) and graphic designers (41 percent).
- Seventy-four percent of senior executives say their organizations effectively develop skills in-house for their workforce.
- Two-thirds of media and AV teams (66 percent) rely on freelance workers and independent contractors for up to 90 percent of their workforce.
- Eight in ten (80 percent) of senior media and AV executives are satisfied in their current role.
Emerging technology
- Twenty-five percent of companies rate themselves as live streaming specialists, 23 percent specialize in utilizing social platforms as a broadcast channel, and 23 percent deem themselves specialists in digital asset management.
- Organizations rate themselves weakest at adopting virtual reality technology (4 percent).
About the Survey
The TeamPeople 2016 Media & AV Insights Survey collected data between February 1 and March 14, 2016, and represents the views of 153 U.S. senior media & AV executives. Their respective organizations have a combined estimated annual revenue of $47.5 billion.

It's amazing how you can be splashing around and swimming quite happily, feeling the lightness of life and optimism of infinite possibility, when suddenly with no warning you find yourself caught in an undertow fighting for your life. Again.
It doesn't matter how many times you've swum in those waters before, you forget that below the sparkly surface there is a powerful force lurking and just one mis step will pull you under.
I lost my breath. I lost sight of which way was up. I clawed my way toward what I thought was sunlight, but still found myself trapped and disoriented, drowning.
When I finally broke through the surface momentarily, I reached out grasping for something to hold on to, or someone, but everything was too slippery and I was quickly pulled back under.
How could I have taken the good days for granted? A few sunny days and I had started to feel that my life could be all sunny days, splashing and giggling. Life just isn't that predictable, or that kind.
I have to remember that in my water there is always an undertow, and the days that I don't get pulled under are days to be deeply cherished because without doubt those days are numbered. I guess I'll just take some time first to catch my breath before I venture back into the water.

Title- Sin and Scars
Author- K. Renee
Purchase Here- Amazon
Rating- 4 out of 5 Cupcakes!
I am not a good man.
I tried to stay away, but every time I pushed her away, she fell harder.
I took away her innocence and I don't regret a damn thing.
She owns me. Mind. Body. Soul.
I never wanted to lose her, but I did. I'm a monster and she knows it. She's seen the darkness in me and she ran as far as she could. I had plans to bring her back, but I saw the happiness written on her face. When threats surface, I bring her home where she belongs, kicking and screaming.
The sins I've committed leave scars on her body and soul. She hates me for what I've done and I don't blame her. I've killed for her and I will kill again if need be.
The only thought that I fear is losing her forever. Losing her forever will be my downfall. Losing her temporarily drove me to the edge. I won't let her go without a fight. She's the light and I'm the dark. I'm the sins and she's the scars.
I've ruined her.
I love her.
I would rather fall on my own knife than lose my only saving grace.

"Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future" -Oscar Wilde
An apt quote as a leading intro into a raw MC romantic suspense. Not all MC novels are created equal and this is no exception. Full of rough language, rougher sex, and semi hardcore suspense scenes, Sins and Scars takes its reader on a roller coaster leaving us wore out by the end, yet craving more from the world that we've been invited to experience.
Stavros "Stav" is the Prez of the Draconic Crimson MC. Walking a fine line between sanity and violence, meeting Harlyn has given Stav a taste of his own saving grace. Harlyn, an unlikely match, is hooked on Stavros from the first. Naive and clueless to the reality of just what she was wanting, Harlyn changes the entire course of her life in pursuing her MC bad boy. Wrought with challenges, to say the least, the two lovers commence to achieve a HEA that takes years in the making while we tag along for the ups and downs. And are there ever some downs…Doomed to be a ride overflowing with one step forward and two steps back, this novel will have you wishing for more while equally wanting to pull your hair out.
Not your typical romance and not for the faint of heart, Sins and Scars is a gritty novel that more than earns it's title. If you're looking for a hard won HEA that leaves you gripping the edge of your seat and wishing for more from its characters, then scoop this one up! As a first in a series, and with intriguing supporting characters such as Trixie, Romeo, and Niko, one can only imagine what author K. Renee has in store for her readers.
I give this book 4 out of 5 cupcakes!

Our pastor's wife, Mary Jane, has a radar for spring.
This time of year, she announces that she is officially on 'crocus watch.' For me, it's like an early Easter egg hunt, as I put my senses on alert for the colorful perennials.
St. Patrick's Day was the first time I felt like spring could be near.
As much as I was enjoying the cold weather, we spent a few days in San Francisco with the Holowaty family last month and it felt like I was woken up. A breezy 65 degrees, long walks underneath the eucalyptus trees, staying outside past dark without freezing my face off, a new baby nephew to cuddle, an Argentine-style barbecue.. yeah, I'm ready for spring.
Like yesterday, today was bright and cheery. Not only did I see crocuses poking out in patches around our house, I saw the sky was clear and blue. I couldn't resist a walk around our neighborhood. While listening to music on my iPod, I closed my eyes a few times and inhaled with intention. The temperature was perfect and the air smelled so fresh. The sun was shining, but the heat was at bay and there wasn't even a hint of humidity (something I dread about Ohio summers).
After my dose of vitamin D, I drove to an art gallery in Akron to view my friend, Joanna's, photography. Her work was included in an exhibit featuring local artists who live with Multiple Sclerosis. The gallery itself showcased an interesting variety of art mediums, including bronze sculptures and handmade jewelry. Seeing Joanna's work displayed was a thrill for me, and reading her bio (and the bios of the other artists living with MS) was inspiring.
Since I was only a few miles from my favorite little natural foods store, I stopped in for a sampling tour (hummus bar, cheeses, samples from the deli), gathered a few items for our pantry, walnuts and cashews from the bulk section, and a tasty salad from the deli for my lunch (balsamic roasted brussels sprouts, red cabbage, olive oil and pine nuts, with a hint of cayenne = yum!). Across the way, I stopped in to World Market for coffee beans and tortilla chips, then drove back home with He is We playing on the stereo.
Later, we met Rachel for a sushi dinner, which was followed by watching our other friend, Chloe, perform in a musical tribute to the late Jacques Brel. The show itself was comical, adventurous, sarcastic and bizarre. I'd like to think that if I knew more about Brel and his world back then, I would appreciate his music more. Hard to say. Nonetheless, the production was entertaining and Chloe made us all proud.
It seems I started my day with plants and ended it with French satire.
If you add the darling duck couple I saw in the Giant Eagle parking lot, and the three squirrels playing in my backyard, you have the makings for a new season in Medina.

one of my favourite moments...seeing brown paper parcels of my goods all wrapped up and ready to go to the PO..I'm sending off 2 bags today, one to Kisu's sister Kiae, and the other one is the 'Man bag' going to Shin in Tokyo.
Am trying very hard to put off homework - I need to revise for Sewing presentation tomorrow. This is 10% of my total grade - each of us sit individually with our teacher. She brings out 3 or 4 garments, and we have to talk her through exactly how to sew each one...they're all stuff we've sewn before, but you know with all the nitty gritty details going into each garment ("fold fabric 1.2 cm from edge, fold a second line 0.7 cm away from the first. Sew 0.5 cm seam allowance....." etc etc. I am *totally* serious, you have to see my notes!) it's easy to forget steps here and there. And my memory is no longer like what it used to be!
There's also a couple of drawings to turn in tomorrow...wah...how? So, while Kisu watches his favourit-est DVD Legends of the Fall (Brad Pitt!) on his new projector screen...I have to work on the assignment and revision..argh!!!

That SUCKS!!
Apparantly I managed to suck up a small pad of post-it notes. They had to have been in there for quite some time because I actually have been looking for them! I like to mark things that I like in quilt magazines with them.
The Oreck dealer was only going to charge us $.10 because he also pulled out a dime but Mike bought some pet cleaner to make his digging worth his while.
I really love our Oreck.

I have a lot of fast-paced adventures. I exist in moments of hazy cognizance, and I am carefree in a manner where second thoughts aren't allowed, reflection is too long a word for consideration, and where my presence often controls the environment. My experiences result from my impulsions. I have heartfelt fun. I laugh really, really hard. I make others smile.
I'm so busy developing theories, crafting ways to 'entertain,' that my actions become just a series of movements, vignettes of actualized anticipation. And for all the adventure I have, all the control I exert on everything around me, the most overwhelming feelings generally come during my moments of inaction.
I've come to learn the importance of stopping. I'm fine-tuning my internal alarm clock, and every day I get better at hearing when it goes off – when it tells me to be still, to not act, to not be in control. It might be the genuine laughter of a little kid, the sound of my dog quenching her thirst with the water I provided, a song that somehow steals beauty from thin air and recycles it into sound waves. I'm catching these moments, and I'm stopping for them. What follows are tears without hesitation, a huge smile, the actual feeling of my pupils enlarging as they try to absorb all the color and depth. I think about how I am filled with life and I am in awe of my mind – my vessel – through which I get to taste and be a part of the world.
Now when I feel restless to come up with an answer, the length of time it takes for me to reprogram and stop is getting shorter and shorter. And then I look around, and whatever it is I need tends to find me.

The adventures of an IR and action fascinated photographer. Blog started October 2011. I've recently been on a trip to Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Australia. And a bonus trip to Italy :)

Departure day!!
Well, now I hope I've got everything under control for my adventure. Will be leaving for the airport in a few hours. The flight is to Hong Kong via London. There will be a strike on all London airports tomorrow, but it might start in small scale tonight. My plane leaves 22:30 from London, so I hope I'll make it and lands tomorrow night in Hong Kong after 13 hours in the air.

About Robert Downey, Jr.
The past for me was thirty years of dependence, fornication and despair. The present is the moment of glory for all of us. None of us competes with each other. We compete for each other – and for you. If you played a superhero in one of these movies and it worked out – you are becoming a big star! But achievement loses its meaning if you do not use it to achieve a higher goal.
