Residents of South Carolina may have heard about the infamous shooting death of a woman at a San Francisco pier that took place about a year ago. The shooter who killed the 32-year-old woman was an undocumented immigrant from Mexico who was facing drug charges. The fatal incident brought attention to the controversial idea of 'sanctuary cities," places where local authorities refuse to communicate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Before the shooting, the sheriff in San Francisco banned staff from communicating with immigration authorities about inmates that could be targeted for deportation. A new sheriff in San Francisco has repealed that ban, but communication between the San Francisco Sheriff's Department and ICE is still very minimal. The Mexican national accused of the pier shooting had been released from jail prior to the shooting, though federal authorities had asked that he be held and deported.
Officials in San Francisco are now talking about clarifying the city's policies regarding communication with federal deportation authorities. A proposal on guidelines for communication with ICE would advise law enforcement officers to contact ICE about certain immigrants. A call to ICE would only be made regarding immigrant suspects that are being charged with a violent crime and have at least one conviction for a violent crime during the past seven years.
A foreign-born person who is undocumented or has not yet become a citizen of the United States can face serious consequences for a criminal conviction. An immigration attorney can sometimes help to avoid deportation. Such an attorney may also be able to help people to become citizens once they have satisfied the various naturalization requirements.

It's the 9th August and the day unfolds exactly the same way as the previous nine days have.
I rise early, I sit and watch an amazing sunrise with a cup of coffee while the rest of the house sleeps.
Already, even at before 7am the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius and we've been experiencing highs of around 39 degrees the past week or so.
I think the super heatwave that has been engulfing Europe is over, for now, and we'll be back to the regular 34 or 35 which is common for this part of the world.
Today I thought I'd show you a few stills stollen from some drone footage I've been taken (with a couple X-E3 images thrown in for the mix).
I'm able to stretch the legs of the drone properly here. We are in a huge valley in the Andalucian moauntains. Very few people, and lots of countryside.
I'm aware that it looks like we are existing on Mars, but I can assure you it's beutiful, its warm and its as relaxing as hell.

Should the court ever have created the plain view doctrine? Is this this doctrine difficult for police officers to keep in mind in their daily work?Response to this classmate:Classmate karenThe plain view doctrine is a rule used by law enforcement which allows them to confiscate any evidence such as weapons if from plain sight without a warrant. Cornell Law School explains that if an officer stops a car and catches eye of a weapon, he will enter the vehicle to seize the evidence. Will the Fourth Amendment be violated in this case? I think not. I think the courts did the right thing to have created the plain view doctrine. The goal is to protect and serve the people and if officers cannot seize any items from plain sight that is considered contraband.It may be difficult for some police officers to keep the doctrine in mind if they feel they saw something but, this doctrine is plain and simple to follow. Cornell Law School (n/a). Plain view doctrine. Retrieved from https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/plain_view_doctrineclassmate 2 response DorrenThe plain view doctrine is a legal tern that describes objects that officers can seized without a search warrant. The objects seized must be in plain view of the officer that the officer believes is somehow associates with criminal activity. Yes he courts should have created the plain view doctrine because if the police officers a there with the paramedics they may notice contraband laying around while minors at in the household. The contraband is confiscated and the same thing will happen if weapons are in plain view of the officers, this will ensure the safety of the officers and children in the household. Yes, it will be difficult for police officers to keep the plain view doctrine in their daily work. If the officer see illegal objects in plain view the officer may be eager to search for more and by doing so, the search will become illegal and any illegal items confiscated may not be used in court.References: Criminal Justice Today 14th Edition (Schmalleger, Frank)please response to both Karen and DoRREN PostPurchase the answer to view it.

My neighborhood is a diverse one. I have neighbors that were the first to move in when our sweet townhomes were built, who are now well into their 80's, with a wealth of knowledge about the community. I have a young pediatrician, fresh out of his residency who's presumed quiet and shy nature flew out the window one night at a cocktail-fueled dinner party. There are retired arborists from Eastern Kentucky, active local business owners, snowbirds who disappear to Florida for months on end…. I'm almost positive that each of my 50-some neighboring homes have residents with a story, with a background. None of them, however, have a home with as well-curated of an art collection as this one:
Just inside the front door there's a piece done in bright, saturated colors, a woman, naked in the night, faceless. It's striking and bold, fun, and not at all what I would have expected to greet me as I walked in.
Anne Howell grew up in Virginia, completing her undergrad at Wellesley before moving on to earn her Master's and PhD in English Literature at Columbia. That move to New York, and her early career there introduced her to New York's starving artists. "These people were literally starving! Living in Central Park, or under bridges."
What I love about Anne's home is that once you enter, things feel collected, like they have a purpose. Her walls- which, when she moved in 16 years ago, were covered in layers of wallpaper, glued against royal-blue painted trim ("It was awful!")- are painted in a gorgeous olive green French strie', and the trim a bright white. Crystal light fixtures bounce light around the rooms, while her living area stays soft and cozy- lit by lamps alone.
The first time I walked in, I was immediately taken with a large oil painting of Anne that she sat for before she started grad school. "I wanted to be in a red silk dress so that my grandchildren could see that I was…. You know…". She laughs.
Bookcases on either side of the doors leading to her patio are stuffed full of literature, yes, but tucked in between are tiny pieces from family photos to neon nudes. Her dining room holds her most prized piece- a Besler botanical, done in eglomise and French matting, dates to the 17th century.
Also from that time, hung between two other pieces in her living room, is a scrap of French Aubusson. Her friend Fran, who owns an oriental rug salon in town, gifted the piece to Anne. "She knew I loved the colors." She had it matted in silk and framed.
My favorite piece in her home is a dark, minimalist painting of three faces. "From The Three Faces of Eve," she tells me. "Done by a man living in Central Park." It hangs, simply framed, above her silver tea service in the dining room. The juxtaposition is incredible, and a little surprising. "No one expects to see this in my house!"
We walk into the kitchen, where a mural done by local artist Sandy Kimora encompasses the room. "It took her three weeks to complete. It's based on a French mural I had seen many, many years ago outside Paris. In these murals, there's always an ugly bird. It always has to be pink. I have so enjoyed this- when I look at it, I see things I'd forgotten. Hummingbirds, the fronds… In any mural, detail work is your secret. If there's no detail work, to me, there is no mural."
On the counter in here, we find two faces- a man and a woman- framed, propped up on her calacatta gold marble counters. "I love the faces. I don't know a thing about them other than that a friend of mine had them, and they're fabulous. They're done on paper bags. It makes them interesting."
From flea markets in Madrid to tiny shops in Japan, her pieces have been collected throughout the world. A small Japanese drawing hangs near a caricature of Greta Garbo in her den. "My son was in Japan, in Kyoto, and this little old man had a shop that was going out of business. My son told him that he wanted to buy a piece, but that it had to be old because it was for his mother." She laughs. "I'm not sure how I feel about that!"
From century-old family portraits in her hall, hung alongside a piece of headboard from the now-gone Milner Hotel in downtown Louisville, there are pieces everywhere. Even in her guest bath, we find a small collection. An on-glass painting of Adam and Eve from Warsaw, Poland hangs near a study in the calling to Heaven. "What makes this piece so interesting- I think- is the detail work on the dead body."
"No one would look at these things other than me. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder. I wish I had started (collecting) when I was your age, but we were busy! Paying tuitions, living in New York…. It was very expensive." That's one reason she supported the starving artists in New York. She continues, "I'd rather have the old masters, but I go into old homes sometimes, and you just see the same things over and over. It's like these people haven't smiled in 40 years, and I don't like that! I'd rather support someone who's unknown, with something I haven't seen before."
As for the bright, a-little-bit-funky piece inside her front door? "Every house should have something funny, wistful. That's why I have this piece when you first come in. Everybody loves it! I assure you I paid more for the frame than the art, but every one loves it!" And it makes her happy when she walks in? "Exactly."
The only print in Anne's home- not pictured- is a Picasso. Corps Perdu, "which means the entire body," she tells me. All-encompassing, whole. It's as a home should be, and- without doubt- as this one is.

Chicken Pot Pie is not something that should be made with a can of soup. It deserves to be prepared truly from scratch. This Irish version is creamy and decadent. The chicken flavor comes from three sources and makes a robust pie. Of course, no Chicken Pot Pie would be as good without flaky puff pastry crust! My version of this classic is baked in single serve mason jars to make serving simple.
There are plenty of recipes where I do whatever it takes to get dinner on the table as quickly as possible. Let's face it, we all have busy lives and nights that require simple, filling dinners. Chicken Pot Pie is not that kind of recipe. It is a labor of love!
The flavor profile in this dish is built with chicken thighs, chicken broth and chicken bouillon. The combination makes a meaty filling accented by veggies. Everyone inhales this savory dinner. Our friend's toddler had some and refused to share it with the family dog, a dog she normally shares every single meal with. It is that good!
Meat is usually the most expensive part of dinner so I like to start at our local Grocery Outlet Bargain Market. I always find quality groceries at a great price. I can often find skinless boneless thighs for about $2 a pound which is a stock the freezer deal. They also had good prices on the cream, puff pastry, veggies and spices.
I have been shopping at Grocery Outlet since I was a little girl. In the 80s my mom's food budget of $100 had to feed three of us for the month and Grocery Outlet was one of her favorite resources for doing just that!
Jonathan is always asking me if we can run in and see what might be on special this week. One time he found prosciutto for $1 a pack. Another time he stocked up on Dr. Pepper and Coke for less than $2 for 12 packs. I've mentioned before the epic freezer-filling when we found 3lb packs of Lit'l Smokies for $1 per package. Last month Jonathan loaded up on 12oz packs of filet of beef wrapped in bacon for just $2 per pack!
While we do stop in frequently, the best way to find out about new deals is to sign up for WOW alerts. They don't send out very many e-mails so it is easy to stay on top of them. This week we will be stocking up on Campbell's Chunky Soup for $1 a can and shrimp for just $6 a pound! You can check for the nearest location of your Grocery Outlet here. There are 226 locations primarily located in the Western US.
I hope this recipe becomes as popular a dinner in your home as it has in mine and that you enjoy making new discoveries at Grocery Outlet!
Tools In This Post: I adapted this recipe from the one used at a famous guest house in County Cook, Ireland. You can find the original in Myrtle Allen's cook book.
If you enjoy hearty fall and winter recipes, you will also enjoy my Slow Cooker Pot Roast. It is something special!
Full Disclosure: I was paid by Grocery Outlet to create this recipe. I have been shopping there for most of my life and love what they do. My opinions are not for sale and are therefore my own. At Mirlandra's Kitchen we only work with companies we absolutely love that we think you will love too! When I am paid for a recipe like this the money is used to cover the costs of maintaining this website. Grocery Outlet has also generously sponsored the giveaway described above today.
Irish Chicken Pot Pie
- 1 large carrot
- 1 average sized russet potato peeled and diced
- 3 stalks of celery minced
- 5 oz crimini mushrooms cut into quarters or eights
- 1 onion minced
- 1/3 cup Italian Flat Leaf parsley minced
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 tsp. chicken bouillon
- 1 tsp. black pepper coursely ground
- 1/4 tsp. white pepper
- 1 cup cream
- 2 sheets of puff pastry 1 box
- 3-4 Tbsp. melted butter for brushing pastry
- 11 mason jars 1/2 pint size wide mouth
- Tip: I suggest reading through all the instructions before beginning.
- Set the sheets of frozen puff pastry out to thaw on a floured board.
- Cut carrot, potato and celery into small bite sized pieces. Place in a tall microwave safe bowl and add enough hot water to cover by about 2". Microwave on high for about 15-18 minutes or until the veggies are fork tender. Drain when cooked and set aside.
- Meanwhile prepare the rest of the ingredients: Cut the mushrooms into eights. Set aside.
- Peel the onion and dice it. Set aside.
- Mince the parsley and set aside.
- Wash the chicken. Trim any large chunks of fat off and discard. Cut into bite sized pieces. A kitchen scissors works well for this.
- In a 10 cup capacity skillet (preferably cast iron) cook the chicken with some oil on medium-high, stirring frequently until the pieces are cooked through. Set aside in a bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Add the butter, onions and pinch of salt to the skillet and cook on medium-high for about 3 minutes until golden, stirring frequently and adding oil as needed. Turn the heat down to medium. Add the mushrooms and cook an additional 3 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the drained veggie mixture and the flour. Cook for 1 minute stirring continuously.
- Stir in chicken broth, parsley, chicken, black pepper, white pepper and chicken bouillon. Bring to a boil stirring continuously and continue to cook until mixture has thickened slightly.
- When the mixture has thickened, turn off the heat and stir in the cream. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as desired.
- Use a mason jar to cut out rounds of puff pastry: Place the jar upside down on the pastry and press down firmly. Move the jar back and forth rapidly until a circle of pastry is cut out. Repeat until you have 11 circles.
- Use a sharp knife to make an air slit in the pastry circles.
- Use a measuring cup to scoop 2/3 cup of filling into each jar. Wipe any drips off the rims of the jars with a wet cloth. Top each filled jar with a circle of pastry. Brush the pastry with melted butter
- Place jars in a large casserole dish (my big rectangular Pyrex is perfect) and fill the dish with water about 1" deep. This is the correct way to bake in mason jars.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is slightly brown and the filling is bubbly.

Having clear skin is something that most people desire. This article contains valuable information about clearing up your skin and prevent zits.
Tea tree oils can be particularly helpful for reducing the amount of acne on your skin where you are prone to pimples. Tea tree oil can reduce the oil buildup responsible for your pores.
One of the worst things to do with pimples is not picking at your pimples. Popping your pimples can lead to spreading the bacteria to spread to other areas of your face.Picking can cause scarring over time.
Extreme temperatures can affect the amount of pimples to worsen. You tend to sweat more.Sweat will clog pores.The end result can lead to zits. Cold weather can easily cause dry the skin.Both of these conditions are bad for your skin's health.
The herbs in chamomile tea are great for zits.
Stay away from situations that will stress you stress. Stress may not be a direct cause of pimples breakouts, but it can worsen an already advanced case of zits.
Bed Linens
Frequently changing your bed linens can have a remarkably beneficial effect for your zits problems. The excess oil can get on your face transfer to the bed linens and sheets while you sleep. Then they go back on your skin.You should wash your sheets and pillow cases at least once a week to break the time to avoid this.
Zinc is a wonderful option to reduce acne because it reduces the amount of damaging free radicals under your skin's surface. Cystic acne can be reduced to a few bumps by taking zinc everyday.
If you have access to a pool, go to the swimming pool as often as possible. Swimming is a great exercise and develop your body. Chlorine can reduce your breakouts.
Look for skin products that contain salicylic acid if you are dealing with zits. This major ingredient combined with hydroxyl acids help the skin shed cells quicker.
Clean your face daily, especially if you are sweating because of the heat or exercising. If it's impossible to wash your face easily outside of the house, you need to carry wipes with you on the go. This will help you can remove impurities and bacteria from your face. It is important to continue using your cleanser every morning.
Stress can be the cause of your acne. Take some time to practice relaxation to your day. When you do activities that you enjoy, your hormones will become more balanced and your stress will reduce, essentially eliminating one of the causes of your acne. Smoking and drinking coffee can also aggravate your skin.
Do you feel as if you will be battling acne forever? Stress creates hormone reactions that can create hormones and your body will create skin problems.
As mentioned earlier, clear skin is something most people want to have. You should not have to put up with zits. Pimples is a prevalent condition, so take some of the ideas that were previously introduced and start applying them today. You will gain clearer, healthier skin.

Every now and then, I find myself with a whole long list of things I just want to share with the world, and I need a place to put it all. This post? It's where I'm gathering it all up to give to you. I'll keep it short and sweet and share it on the weekends when I don't usually get on my computer much, but stop on by whenever you find some time to browse around.
This piece on "flying solo." All the feels, because that's so my season of life right now.
A newspaper all about hope and good news? Yes please.
Makeup I can actually feel good about. (And my new favorite lipstick--terra!)
Seeing Johnnyswim on Thursday. Again. Never too many times.
I wrote a thing about how to read more (and better).

Yesterday very few people showed up at the Renaissance of Local Event. It was a big disappointment. Three people we knew came by so we were able to chat but our booth saw almost no action. We are hopeful for the next two days because they are on the weekend and they have promised people will come. We are counting on them to be right.
Last night I was watching the Bill Moyer show; he is a person of integrity who keeps on asking important questions. He had two guests on who have been reporting on the refugee problem caused by 1.6 million leaving Iraq because they feel unsafe due to the war. So far 100, 000 thousand to 1,000,000 Iraqi citizens have be killed and 1.6 million have left this country because of the war. Is there something wrong with the picture here? It doesn't look like the work of a liberator trying to free a nation? Does it to you?
That is all I am going to say here because I already used up my one rant day this week, which is a self-imposed limit I have placed on myself. I like to write about peace, purpose, the human potential, consciousness, compassion and how to create the life we want. I want to focus on that to empower the best in people. Politics is a very slippery slope. If you are not careful you can get so caught up in it that you forget about all the higher expressions of human nature.
We are political creatures true, but that is only one aspect of the who we are. We are individuals with purpose. We are loved and givers of love. We are family. We are workers and providers. We are dreamers. We are bodies seeking energy and health. We are a huge bundle of thoughts and emotions. We are a soul made up of something higher. We are today with hopes for tomorrow. We are creative and expressive and cautious and controlled. We are so much more to be discovered.
I dream a dream in which a world wakes up, one individual at a time, to its fullest expression and as we all unfold what is now out of balance comes back to center and harmony is returned to a planet that seems lost. Hang on, we are in for a rough ride before things settle down. Together we will make it, if each of us can expand our consciousness and compassion for the good of all humanity.
Think Peace, Be Peace.

The Waverley Pub in Bognor Regis is set to host a monthly retro video gaming event.
Offering a fun-filled afternoon of retro video gaming on several systems from the 1970s to 2000, 'Pixels at The Waverley' will be held between 3pm and 6pm on every last Sunday of the month.
The first event is taking place on Sunday, February 24.
Organiser Zoe Pniewski is running the event via her events business, My Special Event, along with her husband Jan Pniewski.
She said: "It will be a fun packed afternoon of retro video gaming offering the chance to meet up with other like-minded people.
"Serious gamers and people who played retro video games in their youth and want to reminisce would enjoy this event, but it is open to all ages and abilities. Families are welcome."
Entry is £3, with children under 5 going free, and the event will be held in the pub's function room.
Zoe continued: "There will be a variety of games to play on the day, we may swap them around so there are different ones available at each monthly event.
"There will be a variety of consoles and systems available, including Sony PlayStation, Commodore, Nintendo, Sega, Atari, Sinclair, and many many more types of systems again these may be swapped around for each event to create a bit of variety.
"We will be open to requests."
This new monthly event follows the success of Pixels Against Cancer, which was held at The Waverley Pub last September.
This was also organised by Zoe, who explained: "The original 'Pixels Against Cancer' event was a retro video gaming event to raise money for Cancer Research UK, as I tragically lost my uncle in 2017 to pancreatic cancer and wanted to do something to raise money and awareness.

Authorities say a federal agent accidentally shot a San Diego County sheriff's deputy in the leg at the sheriff's station in Lemon Grove while unloading a handgun that was seized by a joint task force Monday.
The deputy's injury was not considered life-threatening, sheriff's spokeswoman Jan Caldwell said.
The names of the deputy and the federal agent were not released.
The agent and other members of the unnamed task force recovered the .22 handgun while serving a search warrant in eastern San Diego County, Caldwell said.

Karla James » Is Karla James A Slut?
Karla turns up the heat in some super-hot, super-sexy lingerie, a skimpy bra and panties set that covers very little of her body. "I don't think this would cover my breasts if I had B-cups," Karla said. Karla has G-cups. Karla seems to be having a lot of fun playing the role of super-slut, teasing, giving us her, "Don't you wish you had this?" look, then peeling off her top. Photo No. 35 is especially appealing as Karla looks back into the camera while squeezing her pure-white breasts together, making them look like twin torpedoes.

Last year, while we were at Fort Frederica, we participated in the Great Backyard Bird Count. Nell Benefield put the event together and did a great job. This year Nell returned as a volunteer to Fort Frederica with the specific task of putting together another birding event. Thus, one of our special events for February was a Birding Festival.
Our emphasis was the same as last year: teaching children about birds. Nell planned a few events for adults, such as a bird walk at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning. But most of the events were tailored to children. This meant that children and their parents turned out in full force. Last year I did crafts, but this year I was in charge of bird anatomy.
We had a chart of a bird and kids labeled the bird parts. There were some skull skeletons showing different kinds of beaks. The children looked at different kinds of bird feathers with a magnifying glass. One challenge was matching bird feet to specific birds. The favorite activity at my tent, by far, was the beaks and bills as tools. We had different kinds of food birds ate with tools that mimic the operation of the beaks or bills. Kids had to figure out what tool went with what kind of food and match the bird to the tool and food.
Denise and Stephanie manned the craft tent. Bob and Phil were in charge of parking. Marcia and Gail taught about nests and eggs. Randy was in charge of a migration obstacle course that proved very popular, especially with younger children. Rachel taught a bird dance that she made up herself – silly and fun at the same time. Tom missed the whole event because he was marching around as a soldier for a different, military-related event.
Mom and Dad got into the day as volunteers also. We wanted two people at each place so everyone could get a lunch break. I was glad they were willing to help out. Mom stayed with me in the anatomy tent and Dad helped with the migration obstacle course.
The highlight of the day was a program by the Center for Wildlife Education of Georgia Southern University. They brought an owl, a peregrine falcon, and some snakes and talked to people about their habitats and needs. People loved it when the falcon flew over their heads to a handler in the back.
The only bad thing about the day was the sand gnats. They were pretty bad and everyone was getting bit. Dad, especially, had a hard time. Turns out he is allergic to the bites and they swelled up and itched terribly. Off doesn't keep the sand gnats off for long!
The Birding Festival was a great success and Nell did a wonderful job putting it together. We had twice as many volunteers as last year and needed every one. There were also twice as many visitors. I don't know how Nell will top this!

Actually, I'm not sure that's true. Maybe the sweetest is the second lick, after the flavor has been recognized by the taste buds. Or it might be the seventh, after the complex intermingling of tastes have seemed to infuse the entire mouth, and the tongue can't stop itself from reaching for an eighth…
But in this case, I'm using "first lick" as a metaphor for my first blog post. And first this is, and sweet it is as well. You who might be reading it don't know this yet, but I consider myself quite the technophobe. As I got closer to actually writing the book that this blog relates to, I heard about how, in order to try to sell my book, I really should have a 'web presence.' "Web presence?!?" I screeched. "What the hell is that?!?" And so friends who write, or who know about social media and marketing, took me back to school.
Oh, the angst, and the tearing of figurative hair (figurative because, as a mature woman, I know better than to deliberately compromise my own crown of glory.) But eventually, with the help of friends, I was able to turn the techie part over to the techies, in order to do one of the things that I do best, which is to write.
And so this blog is about topics that interest me, some of which will be found in Licking the Spoon, the book I'm working on. Licking the Spoon uses that complex intermingling of the flavors of food and sex in order to explore the mysterious connections between human health, mood, intimacy and relationship. It includes original recipes, many of them international, paired with erotic scenarios that play with the varied elements of our fears, and our desires. It follows the stages of relationship from being comfortable with ourselves, to establishing intimacy with a lover, to exploring ecstasy together, through meeting the challenges that love inevitably brings. Reading it has been likened to peeling the layers of an onion, but I think of it more as gently separating the folds of a persimmon, in order to reach the most intense sweetness that resides, as yet untasted, inside.
But enough about the book; I'll be sharing more about the book as it, and this blog, unfold. So that you can decide whether you want to continue reading (and I hope you do), here are some of the topics that I'll be touching upon. Some may be in the book, and some may not, but all are things that I am interested in, and that in one way or another have brought me to this point. The short list is in my list of blog topics. The longer list includes: mood, food, cooking, diet, recipes, brain chemistry, nutrition, health; women's sexuality, male sexuality, eroticism, pleasure, ecstasy, sexual problems, therapies; relationships, communication, emotions, intimacy, commitment, challenges, love; plants, animals, biology, ecosystems, air, water, sustainability, planetary wealth; writing, reading, poetry, articles, novels, social media, words, and ideas.
Before I close, I must give a nod to the song whose title I borrowed from: "The First Cut Is the Deepest." I just liked the way it sounded in my title, but as I'm thinking about it, it of course conveys that notable sense of 'firsts.' In the song, I believe, the first cut was the beginning of possibly many emotional scars. In my book and blog, the only 'cut' one is likely to find may involve slicing into the fresh fruits and vegetables that are going to feed the delicate balance between your body and brain, or the psychic surgeries one might perform in order to let go of past wounds and move forward in our ability to experience self-acceptance, intimacy and joy.
I must also thank some of the friends who have supported me in this endeavor: Biologist and author Susan Tweit, my writing mentor and fellow blogger at Walking Nature Home; sex therapist Vena Blanchard, my close friend, compatriot in mischief, and fellow web wrestler at www.venablanchard.com; and techie Jeramie Jones, who has been called, among other things, Master of Time and Space (but apparently not to his face). There are many others, and I'm sure their names, or at least their secret identities, will come up in future blogs. And thanks to you who have just taken the time to read my first post! Care to follow?

Call me crazy, but I have to think the guy who printed this "What Would JC Do?" T-shirt is second-guessing himself a little these days. Because while Cutler still has a chance to one day become the Broncos' floppy-haired, doughy-cheeked Messiah, in recent weeks he's been playing more like Judas, selling Denver out with costly picks and grade-school-playground body language.
With the Broncos carrying a three-game losing streak into Cleveland and their stock falling like an actual, non-metaphorical stock, it's just not a question people want to ponder when they look in the mirror during halftime. 'Cause they won't like the answer:
What Would JC Do? Judging by his recent history, he'd pop off about having a stronger arm than John Elway (an actual Denver deity), try to prove his case by forcing throws into double coverage, make junior-college-caliber misreads, pout endlessly and give some of the most eye-stabbingly annoying post-game press conferences in the already unimpressive history of post-game press conferences.

Oh yeah, and he'd endorse McDonalds. As a diabetic.
Yeah, I think we may have been a little premature with the whole Second Coming motif. Just a thought. -- Joe Tone
UPDATE: The guys who made the shirt do not seem to be having second thoughts. They will, however, be making second shirts.
Designer Rob Bell and money-man John McCaskill just told me while they did get heckled steadily while selling the shirts at Sunday's game -- "What would JC do? Throw an interception!" -- they still sold a handful and have more on pre-order. Along with Bell's girlfriend, Kirsten Farabi, they're also working on a new design, the "Eddie Royal with Cheese" shirt, and will have some Nuggets shirts this winter. They'll market the new gear under their new company, Derailed Ink. They're still working on a web site.

Isn't it amazing that virtual (just about) strangers voluntarily agree to get up at the crack of 0 dark thirty to teach other people's children about faith and scripture and life and eternity? Yes. Yes, it is. Almost as amazing as a group of teenagers voluntarily arising at the same hour and groggily making their way to church for a daily 6 a.m. class. On Sunday Lauren celebrated four years of this routine, graduating from our church's youth seminary program. Thank you to her teachers, past and present. You've made all the difference.
And here again, another farewell. Another landmark passed. Another lump in my throat.
Actually, to be absolutely honest, I'm still in denial but this week--with all its "last this" and "last thats"--is working overtime to get me out of denial and into hysterical meltdown mode. I'm a little nervous...it's not going to be pretty once it hits. This episode of Modern Family hits a little too close to home.

Time management has been on my mind a lot lately. I guess that happens when you're busy and being pulled in a lot of different directions. There's work, there's kids, there's work, there's friends, there's sports to watch and teams to root for, there's concerts to attend, and there's work. I am obviously not the only one that feels this way.
Because I really enjoy my job and I am a recovering workaholic, I am in tune with my email more hours of the day than I would care to admit. I have noticed something of late regarding email that I find interesting. While email tends to slow down on Friday around 7pm, it picks back up on Sunday right around the same time.
While I relax watching Sunday night television, I dive right in to my email during commercials or between shows, trying to knock out whatever I can prior to the workweek starting. Is there anything that can't wait until Monday morning? Absolutely not! However, I almost can't help myself.
Have you ever noticed that when you ask people about their weekends, many respond that it was "too short"? Do you think that has anything to do with the fact that they start working on Sunday night?
Instead of filing the quiet time after the kids go to sleep relaxing, I am starting my Monday morning on Sunday night. I am actually living in the future of the work I have to do Monday instead of the present and I am clearly not the only one.
This isn't a new concept either. Many years ago, when my team was building our client base (we weren't as busy and not making as much money), one of the first topics in our Monday morning meetings was the lack of sleep that some of us would get on Sunday nights because of the stress that Monday morning eventually brought. Living in to future of Monday morning prevented a good night's sleep Sunday.
So what can we do? Will I stop responding to email on Sunday night? No way. Will Sunday night start to creep in to Sunday afternoon? Maybe. Do I think that eventually we will all be working seven days a week? No I don't.
So if you are one of those people that says the weekend is too short (I don't), think about whether or not you are shortening it by diving in to Monday morning too quickly. As brilliant philosopher Ferris Bueller said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
In other words, if you don't stop and look around, you might miss your weekend.

So rendering was problematic. Because of long render times I decided to use the Rebus renderfarm. I did a lot of single-frame test renders before I sent away a longer sequence and the tests all looked good, the only downside to Rebus is that it splits all the passes in my exr files to different files. So everything is fine and dandy and I render out 50 frames of 100 to start with, but when I start to shuffle out the passes to build my beauty in Nuke I notice that the only thing that looks right is my master beauty, all the passes are messed up, something I earlier though was caused by the motion vector pass.
I spend then whole next day just trying to pinpoint the problem, changing something, re-render, change something else, re-render and so on. Finally, at the end of the day I discover that it's the AO pass that's causing all the trouble, as soon as I delete that everything works like a charm. As soon as that is fixed I start rendering out the heavy beautys on Rebus and lighter stuff on my computer, like motion vector and depth passes.
However, I will have to re-render the flyby scene because of an annoying light I simply forgot to delete, but I can still do all the compositing with the sequence I've got and then just switch it to the re-rendered one so it's no big deal.

Lisa Alexander is an artist and researcher working across the mediums of performance, writing and installation. Her works engage the subjectivity of witnessing and artistic practice as a lens on social imagination exploring modes of shared narrativity, embodied and experimental poetics that also draw on prior training in dance. In recent years projects have explored critical moments of change in Europe. If/Then was a collectively generated and collaboratively written poetic work, created with Hari Marini just prior to and following the EU referendum of 2016 presented at the National Poetry Library and Camden People's Theatre. Love Letters to a (Post-)Europe at BIOS, Athens (2015) stemmed from an urge to curate a process of coming together and collective witness following the referendum on bailout measures in Greece and the growing humanitarian crisis across Europe. Lisa holds a PhD in performance and experimental poetics from Roehampton (2014).
Lisa is joined by writer and artist Mary Paterson, performance artist and writer Jungmin Song and poet Saradha Soobrayen.
For Who Are We? she presents Filoxenia – a durational poetry relay – realised as a single sentence crossing borders in form, content, effort and space. You are invited to take part in this collective writing action exploring provocations on hospitality, friendship, social imagination, polarisation, border-crossing, poetic agency and love – as a means to imagine together otherwise and beginning with filoxenia the Greek word for hospitality whose connotations are multiple. Xenios Zeus was the name of the controversial 2012 migrant stop and search operation in Greece, whilst it also refers to the ancient God of Hospitality, welcoming a stranger into your home, the crossing of thresholds, filo – friend and brotherly love – filea, human care and agency. Where language often plays a key role in the control and preservation of borders – poetic witness exceeds linguistic boundaries via its singular, relational and embodied address. Participants will engage in poetry games, participatory writing, reading and recording to generate a collective poetic work.
This relay marks the beginning of a series of performance events and a book that builds on Love Letters to a (Post-)Europe in Athens – exploring performance, assembly and the action, idea or form of a live letter. Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

On a recent trip to Greenfield Village I took a ride in one of their Model T's. I mentioned to the driver that I was in the process of looking for a Model T to purchase. With me being what my mother would call "big boned" he said that I should steer clear of the improved Model T's (1926-1927) as there is less room for the driver due to the firewall being moved in to accommodate the new location of the gas tank. Is this true? If yes, then my question would be what models/years would offer the most room for the driver? And before anyone suggests it, yes I am aware of the optional fat man wheel.
Gus, I have a 14 and 26 and the 14 is better.
My 27 Tudor has lots of room but my 26 Roadster would be a tight fit for big people.
As a related side note, throughout my life I have not found a lot of advantages to being 5'7", but it's pretty nice if you own a Model T. My car was built for me. I fit just fine...
I haven't driven all years, but I've read that the brass era open cars are the least cramped.
A friend of mine has a 26 Tudor. He was able to move the seat back, so they may be the way for you to go.
I have shrunk to 5' 9", but my '27 touring car would be fine for a six-footer (once you get into the dang thing). I always use the passenger door when I'm alone. It isn't so much height - even with the top up, but leg length. The owner of the first T in which I soloed (a '24 touring) was 6" 2" and had no issues with size.
I'm a heavyweight, standing at about 5'11" and have no difficulty at all with the ergonomics of my '15 Touring. -Earlier cars have wider dashboards which may provide a negligible additional amount of side-to-side foot room. -All the brass Model T Tourings are pretty good that way. -Men of the 21st Century seem a little bit taller than were their Victorian counterparts (and we're giants compared our Feudal-Age ancestors), so a little more leg-room would be nice, but in the brass Fords, it's really not too bad. -Mr. Ford apparently decided on an "average" leg-length and planted the front seat accordingly, so guys like me will ride with their knees a bit above the top of the doors, which is okay if not ideal.
Some of the steel Tourings are a very different story, however. -Ho boy; I drove one a couple of years ago (and I wish I could remember the exact model-year, but it was somewhere between a '23 and a '25), and the layout of the pedals and brake handle was so awful, there was no comfortable place for me to rest my left foot, and with the brake handle in the neutral position, the darned thing was tucked right behind my left knee. -No way could I have lived with that Flivver.
I used to own a '26 touring, but, my '25 roadster has more leg room than it did.
When I was younger, I considered being over 6' to be a plus. The older I get, the more I see that it's not.
I've taken off over 100 pounds since my heaviest days and still have more to go, but I'm getting there. When it comes to Model A's and T's, if you're going to be tall, you'd better at least be skinny.
I drove a 26 Runabout recently, and it was pretty cramped. The pedals don't bother me as much as the brake handle does. It's just exactly right where my left leg wants to be.
My 24 Touring is better than the 26, but the brake handle is still ill-placed for my frame. I'm thinking about modifying my 24's handle to move it over closer to the false door. I've seen it done in photos a few times. It doesn't look like too big of a job.
Big Boned can mean a lot of different things. In the Air Force they have charts for the airplanes with ejection seats. Two folks of the same height can have a different leg length. And on the old T-33 T-bird jet trainer, a lot of folks with long legs were not allowed to fly it. Why, because if they had to eject their knees would hit the canopy bow on the way out. But a person with short legs of the same height was authorized to fly it.
In addition to leg length we also have the distance from our stomach to the steering wheel. As I age, I notice the steering wheel is getting closer and closer for some reason.
For both of those, the brass open cars are generally considered to have more room. And the 1911 Torpedo Roadster and Open Runabout have the most front seat room of any T that I am aware of. And the Town Cars had the least driver room.
Note the 1926-27 open cars have a fixed seat distance while the 1926-27 Coupe and Tudor have some adjustment in the seat position. See paragraph number 1259 for the Coupe and paragraph number 1280 for the Tudor at: http://www.cimorelli.com/mtdl/servicemanual/default.htm The Tudor adjustment takes a little effort while the Coupe adjustment you have to cut the back shelf panel.
You can obtain the most leg room with an aftermarket speedster or open express body etc. that the seats have been positioned to give the driver additional leg room. That is very easy to do while the owner is building the body. And if you make the seats adjustable -- then the short folks can enjoy the car also.
I would recommend that you go for a ride and sit behind the wheel of several different year models and body styles. You don�t want to travel half way across the country to look at a good deal on a 1926 touring only to find out it would be uncomfortable for you to fit into.
And for just a little extra room, a smaller diameter steering wheel, a custom seat spring from Snyder�s, a steering wheel wedge to move the steering column up rather than down all can add a little more room. And with more work you can shorten the steering column (the reverse of making it longer for the 1911 Torpedo runabout) and things similar to that.
Good luck with your search, I�m sure you can find a T that will meet your needs.
Respectfully submitted,
Hap l9l5 cut off
At 5'11" and 225 lbs my 27 roadster is slightly cramped but not too bad. My 25 touring is a lot more comfy!
1926 Roadster here. 5�10�, 200 lbs. I fit fine. Sure, the cockpit offers limited space, however, this is typical for many cars of this era. I Always use the passenger door for ingress and egress. Have the Ruckstell shifter in the middle as well, just slide over it. No complaints.
My dad was 6' tall. I am only 5'7" but when we sat side by side on a bench I sat taller than him. I am short only in the legs and he was very long legged. I have no problem with my 26 Roadster and 26 touring. I can also drive the 22 roadster without a problem. You can compensate by a few inches just tying down the springs and using less padding in the upholstery, or by padding more.
I have Ruckstells in all 3 cars and they are all center shift. However I have cut off about 4 inches from the handles of the 2 26's so that I don't hit the ignition switch when I shift into high. With the shortened shift lever I can just step right over it when I get in or out of the car. It is, however easier to get in when it is in low.
Just to be clear, big boned means I am fat.
At 5'9" and 200+ ,some days I slip in just fine and some days not so much. Now having the amazing hulk (Martin Vowell ) ride with me , there was a learning curve to getting into the car up front.
Having ridden and driving his 22 touting was no problem and having ridden in Steve Jelf's Runabout was no issue either.
Have a '26 Touring and '26 Tudor. Neither is terribly ergonomic for the driver. However, you can do some modifications to the Tudor's front seats to make them more comfortable. In the Touring your stuck with what you have, like it or not. In the Touring I have to sort of stuff myself in and then wriggle around until I am moderately comfortable and can still operate the vehicle. I did switch the 17" steering wheel out for a 16" one and that helped some. Still, this is not the car I would want to drive to California in.
I'm 5'10" and 240 lbs. my 20 roadster is cramped, as is my 26 coupe. My 23 touring has the most leg room and room behind the wheel of any of them. I assume this is due to the oval tank instead of round and lack of a cowl tank
My trick for getting into the 4dr 26 Canada touring is to enter from the passenger side head first and do a counter clockwise 180 and wiggle into driving position, 50 to 70 lbs less weight would help.
The drivers door on the car is for very small folks.
Its best use seems to be gaining access to the floor boards,steering wheel, & dash board.
As far as being a passenger is concerned, I've ridden in a 26 Runabout, a 22 Touring, a 27 TT and John May's 11 Touring.
The two Tourings were absolutely spacious from a passenger's perspective. The 26 Runabout was pretty cramped and the 27 TT was weird because of the straight-backed homemade seat...but otherwise pretty spacious.
Here's a video link to the ride in John's car. It was a bit chilly, but otherwise delightful.
'27 Tudor + 2 '23 Tourings. Not all at once. The 27 was first. I'm 6' 2". The Tourings are a better/more comfortable ride.
The open cars are all easier to enter with the top down. You can stand up and walk right in then sit down. However, with the top up, the earlier ones are easier than the "improved" model. Henry didn't like women, I guess, because either she had to wait until the man cranked the car or she had to crank it. Either way he couldn't hold the door for her unless she was the driver!
Gus, I have the answer to your problem, and it is for sale. When I built my 1917 shooting brake I made wide doors and the seat back is adjustable so you can make your own comfortable driving position.
Allan from down under.
At 6�4�, 290lbs., I�m a pretty good gauge for determining whether a car has a cramped cockpit. I owned a �27 Coupe for about six weeks. That was enough of trying to drive with my knees in my armpits. The �26/7 open cars are narrow, and there�s no place to put your left leg.
I�ve found that the earlier, the better, when it comes to legroom in Model Ts. My �23 Runabout has adequate room, but it�s not ideal. My �14 Touring is very comfortable. I used to have a �22 Centerdoor, and it had a nice, wide cabin with plenty of leg room, but it required a bit of agility for ingress and egress. The most comfortable Model T that I�ve ever driven, was an �11 Torpedo. I�d love to own one, but they�re out of my budget.
�21 and earlier Ts all had a little more legroom than he later ones, due to a having a taller seat. In �22, Ford changed the shape of the gas tank to allow for a lower seat.
Really hard to generalize. My wife and I are both 5'10. I have short legs and long torso, she is the opposite. When we sit side by side I appear much taller. You won.t really know until you actually sit in one. Find T owners at shows who will let you sit in their car, we tend to be a very accommodating group.
I'm 6'1" and a big guy to boot. Can anyone comment about the room behind the wheel of a '17-'18 open touring car? I've been trying to talk a friend out of his '11 touring but it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon and I'm anxious to join the Model T fraternity.
According to the 1928 Ford Factory Service Manual, the improved coupe and tudor front seats can be adjusted back.
My 19 is ok, At 240lbs my belly just touches the steering wheel. I would say, Go to a car show and find a t and ask the guy if you could sit in it. I had a guy get in my 19 for a photo a few weeks back that was VERY big boned. He did have some problem getting in and out but he did it.
I have wondered how potential buyers in the Model T's heyday thought about interior size when buying a car. Did Fords literature mention anything about roominess and comfort in their adds?
I owned a 22 touring car and never remember being cramped as I am 6�2�.
My friends 12 touring has even more leg room.
But another friend has a 26 touring and I am cramped.
The Improved car is not an improvement for me.
I�m 6� 1� at 230 lbs ... the stock �23 runabout is ok for comfort. My open body bucket seat speedster was very different. Loved being able to hang my left leg out to the running board.
I�ve yet to complete the top on the runabout and am thinking that it will be really difficult to see stop lights as I approach with the top up.
I lowered the seat frame in a 26, i fit in it fine but some 7 foot tall guy can't even get in the door.
I don't know a whole lot about re-upholstering and never dealt with a Classtique or Cartouche kit, but I'm constantly dealing with the over-enthusiastic foam-stuffing that a previous owner performed when he re-did the seats. -See, if you overstuff the side parts of the backrest in an open Touring or Roadster, you can lose several inches of side-to-side hip room and then both front seat occupants will be smushed together. -When I drive with my usual co-pilot, we have to empty our pockets into the toolbox so we'll have enough room to share the front bench.-
Intuitively, it might seem like more foam would be more cushy and comfortable, but trust me, it's not. -It's also important that the top of the backrest be a little bit less stuffed than the bottom so you won't find yourself sitting bolt upright or leaning slightly forward instead of the more comfy position of being slightly reclined. -As you can see in the photo, my seats are waaaaay overstuffed.
I'm 6-3 225 and last year I hopped into a buddy's 17 touring with the top up.
It was WAY easier than I thought and I had some room! Never had one of those fancy tops. :-)
I Zee my brake levers. They are in the way.
Bob, your seats are fine. Just find the valve stem and reduce the pressure from 200# to 55#. You'll be amazed at the results !
I am a member of the fat bastard club as well and at 5� 10� and 255lbs. I fit good in a �17 Touring, a �22 Coupe and a �23 Fordor. None have the fatman steering wheel. I�m nearly at 54 years and I find my biggest problem is not having enough time to play/work on these machines. I�m looking forward to retirement so I will have the time!
I'm 6 foot, about 230 pounds at this time. I have been as heavy as 245. I have owned a 13 touring; a 16 touring; and 23 chassis made into a Depot Hack. I presently own a 26 four door and the first T that I ever restored, my grandfather's 27 coupe. The only one that causes me any fitment problems is the 26 four door that I currently own (but is for sale). It is not only hard to get into through the driver's door because of the E brake, but is short on legroom, also. The 27 coupe has plenty of leg room and as long as my passenger isn't the fat lady who sings at the opera, I have plenty of hip room for my passenger. If my 27 coupe hadn't been my Grandfather's the only other 26-27 that I'd have rather had, is a two door sedan.
I'm 5'11" but have long legs.
I found the Improved T Tudors are the best.
You can move the seat back which is something you can do only in the Tudors.
I moved the driver seat back one hole and it makes a world of difference.......and makes getting in and out easier too.
A few of the T Owners here in Perth have relocated the front seat rearwards when restoring the vehicle. A few inches isn�t
detectable when looking at the body but makes a huge difference to the driver. I�m 6� 6� and much prefer the 1910 to drive because of leg room than the 1926 Pickup
You folks are lightweights.
I am 6 feet tall and on my way down from 290.
I realized that I needed to do something when I had trouble fitting under the 19 when checking the oil.
I figure that loosing a few pounds would also help reduce the leftward lean
I'm 6' 1" and weigh more than anyone else has yet to admit (Although Fred is close). I'm comfortable in my wife's '18 Touring. I'm not UNcomfortable in my TT, but the car is more comfortable. The TT is not a good indicator as it has an aftermarket cab ('22 model) of unknown manufacture, so no way to compare.
I'm in the same boat as you Willis Jenkins.
Work and family pretty much consume all my time. These days, I get a few hours on the weekends to tinker with my old cars.
You folks don't know what a problem it is to drive your car. I am 6'4",weigh 250 and have size 16 EEE feet. I can drive my 23 touring but not very comfortable. The low pedal is a problem
but the starter button I have to do from the passenger side.
Willis & Fred you both are junior members of the large and in charge club, at 6� & above Fred�s weight plus a giant hernia I�ve learned a few things besides needing to lose weight. As my cardiologist said I�m the perfect weight for a 7�2 man. So the 2 things I�ve learned: 1 on my former driver I installed a very early steering wheel. 2 don�t wear light colored shirts, you�ll get a weird smiley faced stain about mid section.

Positivity is your Destiny
This morning provided a new sense of motivation for myself. During my vacation from work, I decided to take the opportunity to really work on writing but where would this motivation come from? The Comedian sent me a text to listen to yesterday's message from Joel Osteen and everything was ignited. He touched on something I brought up yesterday. You are in charge of your destiny. If you decide to be negative, then negativity will follow you. If you decide to be positive then great things will happen. While watching a video the Comedian sent me, I saw this quote,
"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it" - Thomas Jefferson
I've heard several stories through the years which drive me to work towards more dreams more diligently. For example, the author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, Jack Canfield, was searching for an idea that would take him out of his financial slum. He wrote himself a check for $100,000 and envisioned actually receiving the check. One day, he came up with the idea to sell articles for $1.00 each. Next thing you know, he sold 100,000 and made his goal. Jim Carrey wrote himself a check for $10 million when he was just starting his career in LA. Only a little time later, we was signed on to do Dumb and Dumber which paid him exactly that.
You're probably sitting there saying, that won't happen to me. What makes me so special. That's exactly it. You are bringing yourself down with your own self doubt. When you envision actually having the things you want, they will start to happen. God works in mysterious ways. When you take the time to listen to the positivity around you and stop clouding yourself with doubt, you will find that things will start happening in your favor.
All of my life people told me there was something special about me. I have yet to really discover what that is but I will not lose hope. I know that I am meant for something amazing. You know what, so are you! There is a quote I came up about a year or two ago,
"I refuse to believe misery is my destiny"
Don't let misery control you. You are the only one in charge of your destiny.

TANI Growth
Thank you for coming to TAN in search of "TANI Growth" online.
Since among the earliest forms of earning money is in money lending, it is a fact you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites now focus on Bitcoin, a few of these sites you happen to be required fill in a captcha after a particular time frame and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for seeing them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to develop a reasonable investment strategy.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and confirm these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to get transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also participate in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain constantly leaves public evidence that a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.

In the event of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might actually be exchanged as a thing. Promoters of cryptocurrencies announce that type of personal cash isn't manipulated by way of a key banking system and is not thus susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are a minimal number of products, this coinis price is dependant on market forces, letting owners to business over cryptocurrency deals.
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a particular address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in the same way a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is simply a representation of value, but there isn't any genuine tangible form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can decide how their wealth will be managed.
The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the character of the process by which it's transacted. All exchanges over a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as you're paid, you get paid. This isn't anything short-term wherever your customers may challenge or require a refunds, or use illegal sleight of palm. In-practice, most traders will be a good idea to make use of a cost processor, because of the permanent character of crypto currency transactions, you have to make sure that security is hard. With any type of crypto currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your personal secrets and so take your money. Unfortunately, you probably will never get it back. It is very important for you yourself to embrace some excellent safe and sound procedures when coping with any cryptocurrency. This will guard you from most of these negative activities.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers assert that there's "actual" value, even through there is no physical representation of that value. The value climbs due to computing power, that's, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame which is worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some sort of reward to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which can be among the appealing aspects of the coin. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades lives.
The fact that there's little evidence of any growth in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason for this could be just that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It truly is also possible that the regulators simply don't understand the technology and its consequences, expecting any developments to act.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a greater possibility of solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, according to the amount of "shares" won.
If you're thinking about going it alone, it really is worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This option also creates a stable flow of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to entirely block the reward.
When searching for TANI growth, there are many things to think of.

You've probably heard this often where you often distribute the great word about crypto. "It is not risky? What happens when the cost failures? " sofar, several POS programs gives free conversion of fiat, relieving some worry, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most of the people is going to be reluctant to keep any. We need to find a way to struggle the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could increase dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that could lead to company being unable to continue to run or to discontinue operation.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't necessary to comprehend how the process functions in and of itself, but it is fundamentally crucial that you comprehend that there is a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we know them now where Authorities and banks can simply choose to print unlimited amounts (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.
Many individuals choose to use a currency deflation, especially those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal solitude, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; if you're living paycheck to paycheck, it'd take place within your riches, with the rest reserved for other currencies.
The physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network has become the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that offer long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately links in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the right place at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these companies determine how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is taking place to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it mended. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these problems are resolved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any focused company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a committed promoter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current built-in difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.

It's certainly possible, but it must have the ability to comprehend opportunities irrespective of market behavior. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be acceptable.
The trades of Bitcoins are recorded in ledgers which are referred to as Blockchains. The ledgers use incredibly sophisticated technology about them to work. The thought is quite simple than you believe. The Blockchain allows two parties to create a smart contract. The contract can be created between two businesses in a platform known
You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you purchase the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental increases are more reliable and profitable (most times)

Does Your Office Keep You From Getting Work Done?
The email constantly pings, the fluorescent lights are blinding, the parade of meetings never ends, and the flow of drive-by chats with co-workers continues all day long; then there's your boss, who seems to want you to spend more time updating him on your work than actually getting it done.
It's no wonder it's so hard to get work done at work.
The Workplace Is The Problem
Don't worry: It's not you, it's your work place, says Gina Masullo, a former corporate communications desk jockey, now turned marketing agency entrepreneur. She believes, "the modern workplace is in dire need of a fresh approach."
Masullo says that while employees are responsible for allowing themselves to get caught up in time-sucking office activities, the blame falls mostly on employers for expecting workers to be motivated and productive in a way that's old-fashioned and out of sync with modern living. "It's simply not natural to expect all employees to punch in at 9, sit in the same chair until 6, and punch out. This may work for some, but for many people it doesn't align with their personal, nutritional or motivational needs."
Home Offices Cut Work Distractions
Marsha Egan, an expert on workplace productivity, says workplace environments provide too many distractions that make it easy to waste time. "We live in an ADD world in which technology slams us intermittently all day. Each time we are distracted by email it takes four minutes to recover. If you're like most people who check their email several times throughout the day, you could be losing hours of work."
After Masullo left her corporate job she was a little afraid of running a consulting business from her small New York City apartment because of all the distractions like TV, errands and the kitchen. She found out what most cubicle refugees do, that the at-home distractions pale in comparison to the ones at the office. She now enjoys several extra hours of work each day with less stress.
Boundary-Less Work Spaces
Open-space floor plans filled with Dilbertesque cube farms have taken over most offices. While this boundary-less environment is supposed to increase communication and thus productivity, "The lack of privacy lends itself to a lack of focus," says Kathi Elster, co-author of Working With You Is Killing Me. "Interruptions are stressful and once we are interrupted it takes time to get back to what we were doing."
Exacerbating this boundary-less workplace is the bad example set by bosses who can't hide their own inefficient work styles behind office doors, says Bill Watson, CPA, and owner of the Advanced Business Group. "Employees, both good and bad, will manage their time according to their boss," so unproductive employees could be following their boss' bad example.
The Ideal Workplace
Sarah Grolnic-McClurg, a solopreneur who does PR through her company, Pounce! PR, has worked from home for ten years and calls it "pretty ideal." Besides there being no office gossip to deal with, everything is set up to her liking.
She cautions, "I know people who have home offices who say they are constantly distracted because the laundry beckons and so forth. I find that I can focus very well. When I need a break from work to refresh, I can pop up and vacuum a room and then get back to work satisfied that something else has also been accomplished."
