Minsk Maskouski Borough Procurators Office Refuses to Prosecute Policemen Who Used Force against Journalists
Maskouski Borough Prosecutors Office will not start a criminal case against the policemen who used force against journalists on 2 March 2006. The fact was explained by the idea that there was no corpus delicti in their actions, it was written in the letter sent to BAJ by the prosecutor V.Zhynhel. The letter is a reply to the appeal of BAJ sent to the Prosecutor General Piatro Miklashevich and the Minister of Internal Affairs Uladzimir Navumau on 7 March.
The investigators said they had interrogated Iulia Darashkevich, Dzmitry Brushko, Siarhei Pulsha and Aleh Ulevich, six Almaz members and 7 policemen. A criminal case connected with the fact that Aleh Ulevich had been slightly beaten was started. It was said that the other journalists could not prove the fact they had been beaten or did not come to give evidence of it.
BAJ representatives think that the Office of Public Prosecutor simply did not want to give all the necessary answers about the case. BAJ asked some questions about the case, stressed the BAJ deputy chairperson Andrei Bastunets. Several journalists got beaten during the detention of A.Kazulin.
Let us remind you that on March 2 journalists came to the Railway Workers' House of Culture together with the initiative group of A.Kazulin who was going to register for the All-Belarusian meeting. They got detained and beaten by the police. Dzmitry Madorski (Reuters) and a BelaPAN reporter Siarhei Pulsha were among the journalists. Three more journalists - Siarhei Hryts (Associated press), Vasil Fiadosenka (Reuters) and Iulia Darashkevich (Nasha Niva) - were detained by the police and released later. At about 12 o'clock Dzmitry Bushko (Belhazeta) and Aleh Ulevich (Komsomolskaya Pravda v Belorussii) got detained by the police. (A.Ulevich was beaten during the detention; the criminal case is being investigated now).
It has been admitted that the police had interfered in the work of the journalists. But the prosecutors think that the policemen had the right to do it according to the plan Shield ( art.16, part 19-1 of the law On the Police) in order to prevent disorder in the streets.
BAJ draws attention to article #39 of the Law on Mass Media according to which journalists are allowed to collect information. Policemen simply did not let the journalists do their job.

By all reports and journals I have read that discussed Hyper Space, it was always reported that such technology was many, many years off yet. I feel like I'm in a dream with this news and I don't want to wake up. Is it possible that something already developed is being revealed to us now, and, for some reason, there is a new urgency to reveal it? This seems to be moving ahead far more quickly than anyone anticipated.
Statement by Mark Millis(former head of BPP):
This Droscher-Hauser-Heim approach is in such an early stage of development that it is premature to judge its viability. Fortunately, relatively low-cost next-steps could be taken by its proponents to help others assess the prospects, such as confirming (in the open literature) the ability of the Heim theory to predict the masses of subatomic particles, and showing the derivations and equations necessary to comprehend the other assertions.
Also, it is important to remember that there are many other approaches out there. The best way to determine which of these might merit support is to conduct a competitive research solicitation. There is no NASA funding planned for such an assessment in the foreseeable future.

They travel through "normal space" whilst distorting the immediate space around the ship to facilitate FTL travel.
I might have it completely wrong......

Horny lovers FOSSILISED in steamy RUMPY-PUMPY session 156m yrs ago
Two horny beasts have been caught shagging in the missionary position - 165 million years after they started.
Chinese scientists found a fossil of two froghopper insects in the middle of what newspapers might euphemistically term a "sex act".
The sweethearts were killed by poisonous gas as they went at it, before sinking to the bottom of a lake and becoming covered by layers of ash and sediment.
They then ended up in a fossil collection, before being rediscovered by a team from Capital Normal University.
"This one is so rare," said Chungkun Shih, a professor at the uni and co-author of a paper discussing the find. Shih has examined more "more than half a million fossils," but has never before seen two insects bonking.
The two love bugs were having sex in the same way that froghoppers still do it: in a belly to belly stance that most humans would call the missionary position.
In a bid to explain why froghoppers still prefer this rather staid position, as opposed to reverse cowgirl or the wheelbarrow, Dr Shih said: "This works. They don't need to change."
About 33 examples of copulating insect fossils have been dug up. Until now, the oldest was two lustful midges who were immortalised in Lebanese amber for 135 million years.
The latest creepy crawlies were found in a bed of ancient beasts including feathered dinosaurs. There is a chance that the couple were entombed together and were pushed into position by the pressure of sediment. But who wants to believe that?
A report into the findings was written by Shu Li, Chungkun Shih, Chen Wang, Hong Pang and Dong Ren. It is called Forever Love: The Hitherto Earliest Record of Copulating Insects from the Middle Jurassic of China and was published in the journal PLOS One. ®

Do you hate CoD or Mario? What if those games didn't exist. Peter muses about how annual franchises actually help gaming, whether you like it or not.
The reality is that for every IP that generates fanfare and revenue, hundreds of IP's fall by the wayside. That's how it always been. Gamers are just whining about something that happens all the time. And to top it off, there are hardly enough of them go around to support every niche, creative, "new" IP the industry pumps out like they care about them anyway yet they wanna whine about how the casual crowd is ruining gaming by all but exclusively supporting the popular IP's.

I am a fan of DSD so I am trying to decide how best to proceed.
Many thanks,
Regardless of how a DAC processes data, the means by which that data arrives (off a transport be it a PC or legacy spinner; and via a cable unless it's wireless which we're probably not discussing here) seems to have an effect. To what extent "jitter busting" and "total reclocking" in a DAC can offset or ameliorate a sub-optimal digital data transfer is open to discussion and should depend on implementation. If a company calls their I-squared-S interface superior for PCM, it'll obviously apply regardless of whether a receiving DAC processes that data as PCM or DSD. But since neither you nor I have heard the DirectStream DAC yet, the question remains open by which input it'll generate its very best performance. Beyond such speculation I would feel quite certain that the quality of data delivery (the quality of the USB, AES/EBU, RJ45 or HDMI as-I-squared-S or S/PDIF cable, the quality of the transport) remains as important as ever. That said, the DAC's designer and author of the FPGA code claims in a Youtube interview that because they completely disregard the incoming signal's clock, there's no (or hardly any) difference between inputs.

Russian: Funds Needed for Nuke Security
MOSCOW (AP) _ Russia's atomic energy minister said Wednesday that more funding is needed to for security around the country's nuclear installations, which critics say are lightly guarded and vulnerable to terrorist attacks or thefts of radioactive material.
Alexander Rumyantsev, in a speech to lawmakers in Russia's lower house of parliament, said the Interior Ministry has cut back on personnel guarding nuclear facilities, the Interfax news agency reported.
He said his ministry needs $203 million to improve physical protection of nuclear plants, including electronic monitors. More money also is needed to continue decommissioning Russian nuclear submarines, Rumyantsev said.
He said spent nuclear fuel would be unloaded from 11 submarines this year, down from 14 the year before. U.S. funding for the project is drying up now that many of the submarines that targeted the United States have been destroyed, he told lawmakers.
Since 1998, more than 100 submarines have been decommissioned, but there are many more awaiting dismantlement, he said.
At the same time, Rumyantsev said the United States has pledged to fund the closure of three nuclear reactors in Russia that produce weapons-grade plutonium, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.
Rumyantsev said he and U.S. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham would sign the deal next week, the report said.
On Wednesday, a report by a Russian supervisory board said inspections last year revealed ``serious flaws in the physical protection of risky nuclear facilities,″ the ITAR-Tass news agency said.
``The system of accounting, control, storage and transportation of radioactive materials is not yet fully operational,″ said the memorandum circulated to lawmakers.
``As a result, the unauthorized use of radioactive materials and their theft cannot be ruled out,″ it said.
However, the supervisory authority's chief, Yuri Vishnevsky, said that there were only minor thefts of nuclear materials last year and asserted that all the cases were prosecuted.
Vishnevsky said nuclear facilities are better protected than chemical facilities, ITAR-Tass reported.
The security of Russia's nuclear facilities, including power plants and waste storage depots, has come under closer scrutiny since the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States. Environmental groups also have criticized Russia for accepting nuclear waste from other countries for storage and reprocessing _ as permitted under a 2001 law.

Decisive Action Returns Plastics Plant To Production
A major plastic containers manufacturer had one of their automatic labelling machines stop during the middle of a major production schedule.
Their maintenance department found the fault to be one of the main roller motors (a Parker Eurotherm AC MN 0150-4/1-3-GW Servo Motor) which had overheated.The Maintenance Manager called the machine manufacturer who informed him that these labelling machines had been phased out and were no longer supported. The motor OEM was also contacted, who advised that the motor was obsolete. Plant maintenance then contacted NDCs ServoLab to establish what support was available.
We collected the motor from site within an hour of receiving the call. On arrival the motor was dismantled and the magnetic rotor found to be broken.
The rotor was tasked to our in-house machinists for re-manufacturing and all of the other motor parts were thoroughly tested.NDCs Electronics Engineers received the re-manufactured rotor within 24 hours, and the motor was then assembled to the OEMs specification.Following re-assembly and extensive load and function testing at ServoLab, the motor was despatched back to the plastics manufacturer where it was fitted to the machine and commissioned. Once their maintenance team were satisfied with the repair standard, the machine was handed back to factory personnel to re-commence production.
The whole process from collecting the unit, to production being resumed at the plant was achieved within 48 hours - which left the manufacturer very pleased and in no doubt that NDC has the capability and capacity to support all their drive and servo motor repairs going forward.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The Arkansas Supreme Court sided Thursday with relatives of the 20 people killed in flash floods at the Albert Pike campground in 2010, agreeing with their interpretation of a state law the federal government is trying to use to strike down lawsuits over the deaths.
A federal judge had halted 11 separate suits against the federal government over the flooding as she asked the high court to interpret the state law. A lawyer for the families said Thursday's opinion will help make their case to continue with the lawsuits.
The federal government had argued that a state law bars lawsuits against landowners who don't charge a fee for recreational use. The law makes an exception if the landowner "maliciously" fails to warn about conditions or activities known to be dangerous.
In June 2010, the Little Missouri River rose more than 20 feet in less than four hours, trapping people in the Albert Pike campground and killing 20. Relatives of the victims have sued the U.S. Forest Service, which operates the campground.
The lawsuit says the government failed to evacuate the campers or to even post signs warning of flood danger, as the narrow gorge where the campground was located has historically been prone to flooding. Many homes in the adjacent area are built on pilings.
The court said in its opinion Thursday that malicious conduct under the state law includes reckless disregard of the consequences from which malice may be inferred.
"If we give the malicious-but-not-mere-negligent exception to immunity the broadest reading that is within the fair intendment of the language used, then we must conclude that 'malicious' conduct, under (state law) includes conduct in reckless disregard of the consequences from which malice may be inferred," Chief Justice Jim Hannah wrote in the court opinion.
An attorney for the lead plaintiffs said she was pleased with the court's interpretation, saying it helps their case to move forward with the suits. The families must still prove that the federal government's conduct was malicious under this definition.
The federal government asked U.S. District Judge Susan Hickey to dismiss the case, citing immunity under Arkansas Recreational Use Statute. The federal government had argued that malicious conduct under that law was limited to situations involving a desire to harm another.
"That argument is completely taken out of play," said Melody Piazza, who represents families of three of the people killed in the flooding. The lawsuits don't seek a specific dollar amount.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Fort Smith, which is representing the federal government in the case, declined to comment on the Supreme Court opinion.

the Raft.
Do Not Damage Any Plants Or Trees
Do Not Make Excessive Noise
Stay Healthy.
Do Not Take Unnecessary Risks Like Climbing Up Rocks.
Always Listen To Advise Given By Your Guides.
Do Not Stay Away From The Group, you can easily get lost.
A detailed safety briefing will be conducted before each trip. The rafting team for the trip explains what to do if the raft flips, how to help each other out of the water and what conditions to expect.
We always give the worst-case scenario so that people know what to expect from the trip and, therefore, have the choice to forego their trip after the safety talk. Once in the raft, you are instructed by your rafting guide as to how to negotiate the rapids and some practice is done before you set off. You are also briefed before each rapid on how the raft is expected to react.
Rafting is safer then crossing road
We always ensure all the participants wear a life jacket.
We do not overload the raft.
We do not go rafting after/during a heavy rain.
Our guides are qualified and well trained.
We well know local weather conditions. We make sure the water and weather conditions are safe. Because water conducts electricity, it is wise to stop swimming, boating, or any activities on the water as soon as you see or hear lightning.
All rafters will be given a safety briefing before the ride and will be shown basic backward and forward paddling techniques. Always check that the helmets and life jackets provided fit you well and are not too tight or too loose.
Your life jacket will buoy you in the eventuality of the raft overturning. If you've over-turned close to the river bank, don't use your raft paddle, as you may hit someone else. Do not attempt to use the paddle as a lever against rocks as you risk getting hit by it.
The following are some points to remember:
Bring a change of clothes. A warm-up jacket is also a good idea.
Wear well-fitting shoes, rubber shoes or sandals.
Jewellery which cannot be secured firmly should not be worn while rafting.
Those wearing glasses are reminded to use an elastic sports band to anchor their spectacles.
Contact lens users are advised to wear spectacles instead, in order to cut down the risk of their lenses getting contaminated by river water.

Unfortunately, I have no idea about building websites or anything like that. Also, I've just joined the partypoker affiliate program, and I plan on joining the bet365 affiliate program as well. What I want to do is generate traffic in the real world... ie. tell people to go to my site to learn how to make fast cash, and then have them sign up for these gambling programs. I really don't know how to go about building a site. My other concern is the fees associated with creating a website... Register.com wants to charge around $12 a month to build the site yourself. Any ideas on how I should go about starting this up? THanks in advance

U.S. President George W. Bush told a German newspaper his best moment in more than five years in office was catching a big perch in his own lake.
"You know, I've experienced many great moments and it's hard to name the best," Bush told weekly Bild am Sonntag when asked about his high point since becoming president in January 2001.
"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound (3.402 kilos) perch in my lake," he told the newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.
Is this my best moment, daddy?

So far I have made 5 bentos in the theme of flowers, most of the object have been wild flowers as I like them more than the perfect flowers from a flower shop. Soon I will make a separate album for these special bentos and today I wanted to show you how I made one. It is quite fun and also challenging to create a flower bento. It is a time-consuming project as well, but I really enjoy it! I hope these photos can transmit to you how I enjoy making a flower bento in my little kitchen in Norway…..
Today's flower is Hortensia, a typical flower in the month of June in Japan, and it is my mother's favorite flower. As you know, Hortensia comes in different colors and I chose pastel pink for this bento.
Ingredients : Norwegian Fish Pudding (Minced white fish meat, milk, salt and flour in a casing and steamed), red plum vinegar, a red radish, red onion, color sugar for cake decoration.
First you cut out small flowers of the fish pudding. I made maybe 50 or 60 in total. Use a thick slice and cut out about 10 flowers.
Do you see one cut-out is relatively thick? You can slice it into 3-4 with a thin-bladed knife. Then you get 3-4 flowers right away.
Use the flat end of a bamboo stick and push it out from the cutter.
The other end of the stick is fine and pointing, but it pricks a hole and it is not so ideal. Use the flat end and push it out carefully.
I looked at the real Hortensia flower petals and saw they are not evenly pink. I decided to color them in 3 different tones using :
1) Red onion, red radish and water
2) Red onion, red radish and red plum vinegar
3) Pink color sugar for cake decoration
Leave them for about 30 minutes.
While I waited, I made three small onigiris. I used a mold.
Here I am putting petals on the rice ball.
They are fixed with pasta.
Here is my Hortensia bento!
When I ate it, I took the flowers off from the rice balls. It is safe to eat them and the pasta, but it was more for decoration, I think. Extra good okazu is necessary in a flower bento !
Thanks for following!

The best Black Friday 4K TV deals for 2017
Get a new screen to match your new PS4 Pro or Xbox One X.
Black Friday has finally passed, though Cyber Monday still remains. Since Black Friday technically began a full week before the day itself, it stands to reason that it wouldn't stop after the day itself either. The deals remain with us, in most cases, and there are sure to be more deals headed our way as we head into the week of Cyber Monday.
With 4K now fast approaching the standard in terms of TV sets, while 'Full HD' sets are being phased out, there are a lot of other confusing differences to deal with - OLED screens, curved sets, and more. Through all of that, we're here to take a look at the very best 4K TV Black Friday deals around and break it all down into a much more easy-to-digest list of what's good.
If you don't yet have a machine that can take advantage of a 4K screen then you should fire up a new browser tab each for our list of the latest PS4 offers on games and consoles and the same for our collection of Black Friday Xbox One deals - we're keeping those updated over the bargain-hunting period too. We've also got guides to the best Nintendo Black Friday deals, the best PC gaming Black Friday deals and even the best Apple Black Friday deals.
The best Black Friday UK deals

- LG OLED 55B7A 4K OLED TV for $1496.99
Before we go any further, though, let's make sure we're all on the same page. In case you've been living in a literal cave for a matter of years now, here's the score with Black Friday.
What is Black Friday?
As previously alluded to, Black Friday is an internationally recognised time when retailers from all around the world slash the prices of some of their finest wares, all in the hopes that you'll buy, buy, buy. While the name suggests this is a one-day deal, you'd be dead wrong if you thought that - Black Friday deals tend to start at least a week before the day itself and stretch on well into the week after. This year, Black Friday takes place on 24th November, so mark your calendar now.
Cyber Monday 2017
The fun doesn't end just at Black Friday, of course. After a month of deals leading up to the main event of Black Friday, a weekend of discounts will happen before the following week kicks off with the rather unfortunately named Cyber Monday. Originally conceived as the online-only side to the in-store-only Black Friday, this is now largely another chance for online retailers to double down on some of their best Black Friday offers or surprise shoppers who missed out during Black Friday with a brand new range of products and price cuts. In short, don't let your guard down once Black Friday is over. If previous years have taught us anything, it's that the Black Friday discounts will be in full effect through Cyber Monday and the week after.

Black Friday TV buying advice: what to look for
If you're in the market for a new TV set, the good news is there's plenty of choices out there; the bad news is, picking out the differences between models and ranges can be a little overwhelming to the untrained eye. These are the key features to look for in a new television and should help you pick out the best deals from the duds.
What size TV do I need? TVs are usually categorised (as well as priced) by the size of the display first and foremost, measured diagonally from corner to corner, so before you go shopping grab a tape measure and work out how much living room space you want to give over to your new set (and think about how far away you're going to sit).
Aside from the obvious - a bigger TV gives you a bigger picture - you need somewhere in the region of a 55-inch set or higher to really appreciate the extra resolution in a 4K picture (of which more below). Aside from that, it's really up to your personal tastes and the size of your budget as to how big a television you want.
Look for the TV set depth, the overall weight, and whether it can be wall-mounted to work out where you can put your shiny new box, or if it will fit in the space you've already got.
For some extra immersion, look for curved sets, though again this is down to personal preference and the size of your room.
TV terminology explained
- Full HD - these displays can handle 1080p video, which is really the minimum resolution you should be looking for from a new high-definition TV today.
- UHD or 4K - the cutting edge in display technology is often referred to as ultra-high-definition or 4K, and it offers a pixel-count roughly four times as high as 1080p.
- HDR - a new TV technology that affects your display's colour, contrast, and brightness. High dynamic range sets can produce dramatically more vivid and bright images while offering much more detail in dark shots.
- Ultra HD Premium - televisions marked with the badge below can display images at 4K resolutions or higher, contain HDR technology, and meet certain standards for colour reproduction, too. The complete package.
What is 4K, and do you need it?
In consumer TV tech, 4K (sometimes called Ultra High Definition, UHD or 4K UHD) is the next step up from high definition - 3840 x 2160 pixels instead of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Like any new tech, you don't necessarily need it but if you have the budget and want to be set for the future then it's definitely worth investing in. At the rate new TVs are made, you may even find it hard to buy a TV that isn't 4K-enabled somehow. TV channels have started experimenting with 4K, some Netflix shows now come in the format, and in a few years everything will be in glorious 4K (though it will still display fine on older sets).
For the very best in terms of 4K quality and colour, look for an industry standard label called Ultra HD Premium. Rather confusingly, Sony has gone its own way with a different term and spec called simply 4K HDR. Either of these labels means you're getting the best possible 4K picture that type of device can offer.
That brings us to HDR, or High Dynamic Range, something else that a lot of new sets are now coming with. Essentially it produces a better range of colour and contrast across the board and takes advantage of the extra pixels available with 4K. Again, it's worth stretching for a set with HDR if you want to get the best possible picture.
What else should you look for in a TV? Once you've chosen a 4K TV set (or a non-4K TV set, if that's all you really need) and picked a size, most of the work is done, but there are still a few other features worth looking out for.
Ports is a big one - make sure you have all the HDMI, USB and other connections you're going to need for the kit you already have (and want to get in the future). After you've taken satellite boxes, games consoles and Chromecasts into consideration, those ports can quickly fill up, so make sure you've got enough.
You will also notice OLED sets. These screens, pioneered by LG, are arguably the best-looking screens on the market. OLED screens (organic light-emitting diode) are likely to replace tradition LCD or LED screens in the coming years, as the picture quality is a huge step-up - but remain prohibitively expensive for most consumers. In short, a 4K OLED set could be the best TV you could buy but you'll be lucky to find one for less than Ł1500 this year.

Front Page News
If you know anything about our little valley's paper, The Progress - you know that ANY news is big news. Well, graduation is evidently the biggest news of the week because this is what landed on the front page this week. Big, bold, and in color - Tibi and three of her friends celebrating the big night. Just thought you might like to know...

The Last Days
This girl has just spent her last days at Moapa Valley High School. She is officially graduated, as of tonight. It's hard to believe that she is old enough to be leaving home. Thank goodness that won't happen till September - but then it's off to Rexburg, Idaho to go to school with her big sister Michaela. It seems like yesterday when I had this fifth daughter. Time goes by too fast...
Tibi and Landon have done everything together. Well...not everything - but they have been there for each other since they can remember. That's what happens when you are almost exactly a year apart. Even though they are different in so many ways, they really are best friends. They will miss each other terribly when it's time to say goodbye for the first time.
I have completed the last days of teaching Seminary for the year also. I intend to enjoy this summer like never before and can now say that I understand how precious summer days are, even though they couldn't get much hotter living in Nevada. I already have plans for some getaways - starting with next week up to Utah and ending with a new granddaughter coming in August. Life is good...

All grown up...
Tibi with her Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Hardy.
Landon will graduate next year and then Kevin and I find out how much we really do like each other :) Life has been so rich, so lovely having all of our children in our home. I'm not too excited about them all being gone eventually, although I think that God makes things all better by allowing grandchildren to come into your life. Otherwise, life would be pretty boring...
Every once in a while, people are blessed to find a real, true friend that they can count on for anything. Tibi found that in Mady. They have been best friends since they were born and lived next door to each other. Mady will be going to BYU in Provo and Tibi heads off to Rexburg. This will be the first time these two have not been together. They have been so good for each other, and will keep in touch for life, I'm sure.
With the school year ended, Landon spent the last days of it playing baseball for the varsity team. He is a lefty batter - which is almost as cool as Paul McCartney being a lefty on the bass guitar :) There's just something about a lefty that looks pretty awesome.
Tibi went to her last Prom this year, and Landon has one more to go. They of course went with different dates, but we had to get a picture of them together anyway.
I've decided I might want to spend my "last days" at our family cabin at Panguich Lake. We were able to get away for Memorial Day weekend for a quick getaway for some relaxation, and can I just say that it was so nice to just hang out doing whatever I felt like doing. We played games, ate, and just relaxed with no schedule, no phones, no errands to run - just relaxing. My sister had said while we were there that being at the cabin reminded her of being in the temple. That's about as close a description as I could give it too.
Kevin made us look at him for a smiley picture. We had been in deep thought so it threw us off our groove :) Here's two of my sisters, Debbie and Theresa. Lisa was missing, which is always a bummer.
More games played. These guys were always doing their own playing. Definitely not as fun as ours :)

Pre-Fair Week
There's no "real" order to these pictures....it's just a conglomeration of a lot of fun and laughter. The kids have started rolling into Logandale for Fair Week, which is the week they ALWAYS come home. Michaela was the first to arrive. She came on Thursday right after she finished up her semester at BYU-I, and was ready to get out of there and leave her grades behind. After a strenuous semester, she is more than happy to be home where she can just relax (except for the work dad has her doing at the fairgrounds, which is all day - every day:) Tibi and her have had some good times just hanging around though...
Easter Sunday, after church, we attemped to take some family pictures of at least some of us. Here's whose left at home - Boring dad, boring mom, and Tibi and Landon.
Easter Sunday, after church, we attemped to take some family pictures of at least some of us. Here's whose left at home - Boring dad, boring mom, and Tibi and Landon.
Tibi and one of her favorites - Levi
Connie and Peter's cute family. They will be adding another little girl to their family this August!
One of the reasons, and it's a HUGE one, why our family is all gathering home for Fair Week is that we are performing this year. Yep, you heard me - our whole family is attempting to play at the fair. I make no guarantees...but we ARE on the schedule. So I guess that we'd better at least get together to run through what Kira has decided we will play. Lexie has been working the hardest to learn and memorize her bass parts. Kudos to her...
This good looking guy just happened to find his way to our house too. He isn't even family, but he might as well be. He just got done serving his mission here in the LV mission, came back to visit with his parents, put them on a plane back to Indiana, and will leave from here to head up to BYU-I for his upcoming schooling. We have snatched him for a few days here and there to give him a home-cooked meal and a couple rounds of card games. Here's Marce, Eden, and Adam Gibson playing games on his phone.
Levi is obsessed with superheroes. Not that I blame him....they are pretty cool. His favorite this week has been Superman. He got a new suit for Easter, which he says makes him look like the "guy that turns into Superman." I immediately pulled up Christopher Reeves as Superman on You Tube to show Levi how it looked in the movies, gave him an old pair of "no glass" glasses to keep, and let's just say that he has been Clark Kent ever since they got here :) I think he looks pretty authentic...
I'm thinking that after all the late nights, Easter candy, still teaching Seminary, and laughing, we are all going to need another "vacation" after this vacation! Connie and Peter were smart to plan a little getaway to Vegas without the kids. They will be back on Wednesday night, just about the time that I head off to the funny farm...

Christmas 2011
I'm thinking that I kind of liked that Christmas was on a Sunday this year. For one...I was ready for pictures, with makeup and all, instead of just getting out of bed. Also, I loved going to church and looking around and realizing how much I really loved the wonderful people in our ward. Our ward meets at 9:00 so we were blessed to have the whole day ahead of us. Connie and Peter attended their Sacrament Meeting that morning also, and was on their way to Nevada by noon. We got home from church, changed into our PJs, had our traditional breakfast (at 11 a.m.), and then went into the family room for the opening of presents, all that is, except for our exchange presents for each other. The kids were adament about not even looking at their stockings until we got home from church. Stockings are Michaela's favorite part of Christmas morning...
Connie and Peter showed up around dinner time and Levi had to show me what he got for Christmas... This kid is the "dress up King!" (LOVE the boots...)
I'm the luckiest girl in the world...

Connie made Tibi and Landon pillowcases this year.
Landon's new wallet from Tibi.
Kira surprised all of her siblings with their own "jewelry tree." For those of you who don't know about these...I'm sorry. They have been in the family since church "bazaars" were around. Any of you remember those days? In a nutshell, the children have all called "dibs" on our family one when I die, but I told them I wasn't planning on dying, so Kira got smart and made one for everyone instead.... Smart girl. Jewelry tree = wood, fabric, Christmas lights, lots of costume jewelry, BEAUTIFUL!! (The kids are in charge of their own jewelry)
I got the only thing I wanted....a blender. Life stinks without one, I've decided.
Kira is always so cute with the nieces and nephews. They love her to death...
The next night we attempted to take family pictures. These two got a little giddy...
A cute one of the Hill family...
How did I end up with such cute kids?!
I'm the luckiest girl in the world...

Willard Thanksgiving 2011
Hold on to your hats because this is going to be a long one. Thanksgiving time is Willard Reunion time at our house (along with all the other Willards), which means we head off to St. George on Wednesday afternoon for a fun-filled weekend of playing, eating, picnic-ing, and staying up WAY too late laughing and playing games. Every year we stay at Randy and Penny's house in Santa Clara (Kevin's just older brother) and frankly, we wouldn't have it any other way. Our kids have grown up together, although most of them are married now with little families of their own. Penny is so good to keep our family, all of us which makes about 16 of us, plus a few other families too. We owe her BIG TIME after every Thanksgiving weekend. We usually pay her back in either cereal or treats and goodies that only stay at her house :)
Here are the kids playing a mean game of popcorn on her tramp. They used to do this at our house when they were all younger (and before our trampoline broke.)
The little ones were happy to just play in the green sand...
Next day...forgot to take pictures at our annual breakfast at the church, which includes a yummy, warm breakfast, and a wild game of "Bump Out" on the basketball court. Here is Connie and two of her kids waiting for Thanksgiving dinner.
Mmmm boy!! (The best part of the dinner are the paper plates...)
...because every year it's the teenagers that do the dishes after dinner.
After dinner, we snuck off and went to see our dear friend Carla, who we miss terribly at our festivities. It was SO good to see her and get a long-awaited hug from her.
Next day... the crowd gathered to go on a hike before heading to the park for lunch.
The kids LOVE going to the park because they finally get to do something that they LOVE to do (and they can be as noisy as they want to be.)
Look at those lovely colors on that nasty punch :)
The annual "Tibi and Tibi" picture. I think we forgot to get one of these last year...
That afternoon we headed over to "Uncle Bob's" for a fun carnival set up in their backyard. Marce was pretty excited about the marshmallow shooters!
They even had a fishing booth... (I guess you didn't have to be a "kid" to enjoy this carnival:)
All of Connie's kids wanted their face painted. Of course, Eden wanted a pink heart...

Actor Havish impressed one and all in his movies Genius and Nuvvila. He studied in US and returned to India as he is passionate about acting in movies. While he is a busy businessman, he also balances his acting career as well as any in the industry.
The actor is celebrating his birthday on 25th June and he interacted with media on this occasion. Havish exclaimed that even though he got a chance to act in a movie long time ago in the direction of Chinni Krishna, that did not fall in place for him at the time. So he concentrated more on becoming an actor and joined Vizag Satyanand classes. Now the actor wants to concentrate more on his characters and future movies.
The actor said, " Movies like Genius and Nuvvila brought me good name but at the same time, I understood that value of story too. Ramleela disappointed me and producers as well. So I decided to wait for good stories and I'm ready to play any kind off character on screen. From now on my films will have strong story and better characters. I'm happy with Jawahar Naidu and Ramesh Verma's passion to produce a good movie and I'll do my next with Jawahar Naidu soon."
Currently, the actor is busy wrapping up a thriller in the direction of debutant Sai, produced by Jawahar Naidu and Ramesh Verma.

Check out this cool post from the always cool spot, Jeremiah's Vanishing New York.
Check out this cool post from the always cool spot, Jeremiah's Vanishing New York.
I first noticed it a few days ago coming out of the subway station on 103rd street. The light. Then a few more times this week, including various times this morning. The light. It's changing. Spring is coming. We know that, of course. Every day, the papers have stories from Florida. Pitchers and catchers report to Yankee camp in three days.
It is still cold in New York and we'll still have to endure plenty of lousy weather. Bring it on. You can't stop the light.
I'll tell you this–when it does warm up, this town is going to blossom like nobody's business. Man, it's gunna be a good spring.
This morning on the train a couple sat next to me with their toddler. When the father and the child got off, the doors closed and the mother stood up and looked out of the window and waved. I'm always interested in how people say goodbye to each other on the subway. Sometimes, you'll see a couple kiss and even before one has left the train, they have both stopped looking at each other.
I always look.
When I was growing up, we had a dog who would chase our car whenever we left home. More than a few times, I've gotten off the train and said goodbye to my wife, and then run down the platform as a goof to crack her up. That's my job, make the wife smile, keep her laughing. Or maybe it's just the K-9 in me.

Here's some Yankeeness for you fiends out there:
Over at River Avenue Blues, Joe P links to a Wallace Mathews piece on Kevin Long.
And at IATMS, here's a note via Buster Olney that C.C. Sabathia has lost 30 lbs.
Joba Chamberlain, on the other hand, has reportedly put on some weight. Check out this great Yankee weigh-in by Steve Goldman. And while you are there, dig the Aceves Challenge by Jay Jaffe.

Never seen anything like the sheets of ice on the streets and sidewalks of the Bronx this morning. I'm just glad I didn't bust my ass getting to the subway. All I could think of was Cloris Leachman saying, "The stairway…can be treacherous." By the time I reached midtown, it was raining and there wasn't much ice to be found, just slush.
But the ice uptown, man, that was crazy. I told one of the security guards in my building about it and she said, "Welcome to the 'hood."
One of the benefits of living up in the Bronx is that I always get a seat on my way to work. By the time we reach Washington Heights, the train is packed. Today, it was crowded and a few people in my car were short-tempered. Nothing dramatic, just cranky on a Monday morning, negotiating space. I looked up and took it all in and thought, It's amazing that more fights don't break out. But the social contract holds together–most of the time.
Sometimes I wonder what life must be like away from so many people? Would it be peaceful and a relief? Or would I miss the agitation, conflict, and the pleasure of meeting a stranger's eye and smiling ever so slightly?
Some shots from my wife's favorite store, Pearl River.
A middle-aged woman came on the subway this morning with a small girl, maybe four or five years old. The girl sat a few seats away from me and the woman stood above her. I didn't pay much attention to them but I caught the woman scolding the girl a few times. I read the paper and listened to my iPod. Then I heard the woman over the music.
"You are going to make me hurt you one of these days," she told the child. She was smiling, playfully, without malice.
"Don't believe me?" she said. "You don't think grandma will hit you?"
Her words echoed in my head. The little girl sneezed.
"Bless you," said her grandmother. "You need a tissue, sweetie?"
"It's supposed to hurt," said Rex Ryan after the AFC championship game last night.
Bitterly cold in New York today, the coldest day of the winter so far.
Baseball is coming…not soon enough for most of us but it'll be here before we know it. Excited?
I know the thinking goes the Yanks' 2011 hopes ride on whether or not A.J. Burnett has a strong season, but Mark Teixeira is my guy. I expect him to have a strong year–and a good start to boot. If he's a monster, the Yanks sure will be tough. Over at It's About the Money, Stupid, Mark Smith looks for Teixeria and Alex Rodriguez to rebound in 2011. Who do you think are the key players to watch?

Canadian, current President of the International Crisis Group, and former Chief Prosecutor of International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, Louise Arbour has tirelessly helped track down, prosecute, and convict, at the highest levels, individuals who have committed crimes against humanity in those territories. Her innovative methods and strategic sense have strengthened the power of the International Criminal Court. They were unanimously saluted by both the Prime Minister, Francois Fillon, in his inaugural address, and by the former IMF Director and founding member of the Fondation Chirac, Michel Camdessus.
The courage of Marguerite Barankitse was equally hailed as this Burundi citizen received the Fondation Chirac Prize doted with 100 000 euros. The sum will be used by her NGO "La Maison Shalom". In a very moving speech, the winner, affectionately known as "Maggie", read letters from children sheltered at the Maison Shalom. She went on to promise that she would "live up to" the recognition she just received.
Jean-Pierre Lafon, Vice-President of the Fondation and Ambassador of France, introduced Maggie, emphasizing her courage and her commitment to children; he hailed her as a symbol for us all.
Among the well-known figures who had come to salute the work of the laureates were Vaira Vike-Freiberga, former President of Latvia and member of the Honorary Committee of the Fondation; Michèle Alliot-Marie, Deputy and former Minister; Henri de Raincourt, the Minister for Cooperation; Frederic Mitterrand, the Minister of Culture and Communication; Stéphane Martin, President of the Quai Branly Museum; François Pinault, and Ousmane Sow.
Mr. Al Bunia was represented by Fadi Nahas and the Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah al Ahmad al Jaber al Sabah was represented by the First Secretary of the Embassy of Kuwait, Khalid Al Yassin.
This page also contains links to speeches by François Fillon, Kofi Annan, Michel Camdessus, and Jean-Pierre Lafon, as well as a selection of pictures and videos.

text: We've featured the usman group website before, they always present a nice clean website design when they re-design. This one is no exception. Except I think this is maybe the best of the sites for theusmangroup.com i've seen yet. I like the fixed information form on the right side of the page. The Usman Group sites usually feature a good deal of content and they've gone to a single page format this time. I think 2011 may be the year of simplification when it comes to content…? Hopefully!

Q.I was happy to see the mention of continuation high schools in your column. This is a subject more people need to know about. Many more families would have high school graduates if they only understood this option.
My 17-year-old daughter decided to try it after being in another district for a while and feeling insecure about returning to a regular high school. She attended Laurel High in Los Alamitos until she graduated.
I cannot tell you enough about the personal attention and caring she received. Her self esteem received such a boost from having teachers who cared about her. Individual help, even after school, was always available. Such caring!
I can tell how much fun it is to go to graduation ceremonies, and to hear about students who just wanted to get high school over with so they finished in a year. Or to hear about the one who would be late, but the teacher who wanted him to succeed called home. Or to hear about the student who was a misfit until he found a subject he did well in and found a new goal.
This is really what education is all about. I think all failing students and their parents should be advised about this option. They need to hear about working at personal speed and level. We are failing way too many students.
A. Continuation high schools need more students. Far too many students walk away from high school without exploring their district's continuation alternative. Many students are escorted into these programs because of behavior, attendance or discipline, but the schools are there for all students.
If a child is ready to give up on school, parents should schedule an appointment with the counselor to discuss continuation alternatives. Students feeling overwhelmingly isolated or withdrawn should also explore this option. Find your district's continuation school and call the administrators.
The administrators and teachers choosing to work in these schools are there to catch and advance as many students as possible. They are there to take away the option to fail and to offer routes that better fit the atypical students.
Q.I took the GED at 16. Is it a new thing that you have to be 18 before you can take the test?
A.The General Education Development (GED) Test is for adults 18 and older, or children within 60 days of their 18th birthday. Exceptions are made if a child is 17, has been out of school for 60 consecutive days and provides a letter from the military, a college or a prospective employer.
The equivalency certificate is not awarded until the person turns 18, but a letter of intent is given if a 17 year old passes the test. There is another test students can take to exit school, but I would hope parents and students would explore this option with the continuation high school advisors.
Do you have a question about your child's education? Carol Veravanich is an experienced teacher and assistant principal who answers readers' questions each Wednesday. Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com

Twelve Trees in Mendham Borough is an elegant Colonial estate built in 1887 and extensively renovated in 2008. This grand residence was originally built as the summer home for one of the Sherwin-Williams daughters. A notable highlight is the vintage hand painted mural of Charles Dickens characters which lends unique charm to the library. Set on 2.5± level, open and manicured acres, the impressive 16-room layout presents six bedrooms, five full baths and two powder rooms.
Beautifully detailed with generously-sized rooms for entertaining, Twelve Trees hosted two Mendham Borough Library fundraisers, easily accommodating over 200 guests. Situated on a private road at the end of a long drive, the grounds are enhanced by a Tennessee sandstone terrace with outdoor kitchen, deep tree-shaded lawns and an inviting pool and spa area.
The current homeowners put a great deal of care and thought into preserving the architectural legacy of Twelve Trees. Original plaster walls, carved panel doors, center cut oak floors, leaded-glass windows, crafted baseboards and high ceilings uphold the home's distinct heritage. Classic design elements such as Osborne & Little drapery, Brunschwig and Fils wallpapers and plantation shutters complement the period style.
Main gathering spaces include the expansive living room (formerly a ballroom), the library with aforementioned Dickensian murals, sunroom enclosed by walls of glass, a delightful epicurean kitchen, and family room addition with French doors opening to the terrace. While it is located in Mendham's historic district, Twelve Trees is not listed on the Historical Register, allowing for unencumbered renovations.
Upstairs, the spacious and sunlit master suite opens to a cedar deck. The master bath is luxuriously updated, as are all in the home, and the dressing room features custom wardrobe organizers. A bonus guest suite adjoins a sitting room, and an in-law suite is arranged with a kitchen/living/dining room. Two additional bedrooms connect to private baths.
Although Twelve Trees is privately situated on tranquil property, it offers a desirable in-town location just blocks from the historic Black Horse Tavern and Pub, library, pharmacy, coffee shop, ice cream shop, boutiques, an independent book store, houses of worship and excellent elementary schools. In fact, Mendham's entire public school system is highly ranked. Additionally, Mendham Borough was cited by NJ Monthly magazine as the Top Town in Northern New Jersey. Commuters appreciate its central location under eight miles from Morristown for Midtown Direct train service to Manhattan.
