Welcome back...to the Phat Daily Column. Ah yes, a wonderful Sunday. No Pay Per View to deal with, and no "Show of the Week", thanks to the cable service down here at Ohio University. Guess what kind of cable it is anyway? Time Warner Cable services!!! Gee, I wonder if I'll have a chance at UPN now...NOT!! Oh well, good old Livewire and Superstars are catching me up. I do have a few topics I want to discuss today, so let's get into it.
I enjoyed the column. Now I've looked around the internet, reading many opinions on this. Many were against Bret Hart, and his column, calling it another day of Bret Hart crying. I disagree. How about we take a look at what Bret Hart was forced to say:
Shoot on the WWF: WCW pressured Bret badly, meaning the writers, for him to just mention Vince McMahon. He mentioned beating the Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, the Rock, and of course, Vince. For one, he's always had respect for Stone Cold. They got along fine at the WWF, and Bret even praised him in one of his columns. The Rock, if you actually read the Rock's book, got along with the Hitman too. Bret Hart took the Rock under his wing for a while, and taught him the ropes of the business. Besides, Bret beat the Rock when he was still the face Rocky Miavia. I'm sure that he respects the Undertaker as well, as there really isn't a wrestler who doesn't.
Again, he was forced to say this. He said, in his column, that he no longer has creative control about his character. If it was his choice, he wouldn't even mention his past. What is there to gain off something that was about 3 years ago? Obviously, those former WWF wrestlers, who have yet to gain ground, don't realize that.
Goldberg: To start heat with Goldberg, they made him talk about his condition and that Goldberg was the one who truly did it. Instead, if you read his column, that's not true. He states that it was WCW's fault for pushing an untrained wrestler, like Goldberg. Why do you think Goldberg struggles to sell moves? Why is he sometimes too intense? Maybe it was the fact that he was shoved to the top too soon? Indeed. The fact that he jacked Bret with that kick came from not knowing how to properly do it. If you watch it, Bret is trying to sell it, but it's coming way to fast and hard to really miss it. Again, the product of WCW pushing Goldberg way too early.
The concussion: 10% brain damage? Well, that's probably a made up number, but the fact that he even had to talk about this, or shoot about this is ridiculous. For one, this injury in the ring has caused Bret Hart to lose half of his pay. Yeah, he makes a lot, but the guy who kicked him didn't lose half of his pay when he put his hand through a car window. But this whole concussion deal is very touchy with the Hitman. How would you feel if you wrestled for over 20 years and a simple concussion is making you end your career instead of a proper send off?
Vince Russo: You can just tell who's idea this interview was though. I mentioned the other day about how Vince Russo did indeed give Bret the title shots in WCW. However, Bret has actually never been a fan of Russo's writing. In a way, the smut he escaped in the WWF came to WCW when Russo arrived. If you remember, the Hitman was very critical of some of Russo's moves in WCW. He praised Russo just because he was told to, and he needed to put over an angle.
He even made a good point about the writers. Bret has been in the business around 23 years, and now he has a television writer of only a few years telling him what to say? Not only that, they are making him 'shoot' on very personal topics just to put over an angle.
But OVERALL, this interview was so real. This is a man stuck on the sidelines, possibly for life now, trying to speak his mind. Nobody in WCW wants to hear it, so he showed his guts in the column. I liked that. I didn't see it as a case of whining, I saw it as the truth. With the many screwed up things in WCW now, somebody needed to tell it.
Again, please read this column when you can. Click Here to read it.
"For what it's worth, I am in the best shape I have been in since the surgery. I am training five days a week and am back on my regular (the healthy one) diet. The back feels great and I am tipping the scales at a fairly lean 218. I say fairly because I am at about 12% body fat. Not too bad for an old man. Whadda ya say to just one more match? Just wondering."
Oh my, did that conclusion stir up some things on the net yesterday. It's my belief that Shawn Michaels only did that to get that kind of reaction. But really, where has he been?
According to his column, his telephone isn't really ringing for a WWF return. Why? Some might say that HBK will piss off the current locker room chemistry. Well, I wouldn't say it's that. I feel that the WWF only saves HBK for situations when they really need him. Whenever they feel the need for a surprise, they call up Shawn. Especially when the competition gets a little stronger, the WWF will call upon the HBK to give a little spike to the ratings.
Just that simple. I'll admit that I do miss the Heartbreak Kid, as his appearances usually provide an extra spark to any show. But anyway, Click Here to read the whole column.
Chris Benoit will also be there. Obviously, the WWF is stacking the show, thanks to the wonderful US Open screwing this show pretty good last week.
Plus, we will see Perry Saturn vs. Steve Blackman for the Hardcore Title! This has the potential to be a good match, although the crowd probably won't back it up, although Blackman is pretty popular as Hardcore champ.
Crash Holly will face Gangrel. Forget about that "stacking the show" comment that I just said.
Wrestle Palooza Audio Show!
@That's all for today. I'll be back with some MONDAY NIGHT HYPE, so until then, just chill....till the next episode!
Sundays are a Good day for some BBQ, eh? Click Here for a Backyard one!!
Take Care, and Thanks for Reading.

Matador Restaurant E. coli Outbreak Lawsuits - Washington (2016)
In September 2016, Public Health Seattle King County (PHSKC) and the Washington Department of Health (WDOH) investigated an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 that occurred among patrons of Matador Restaurant located at 2221 NW Market Street in Seattle. PHSKC received the first report of illness on August 22, 2016. They quickly learned of four other case-patients confirmed with E. coli O157:H7 who also had exposure to food from Matador. The WDOH Public Health Laboratory conducted genetic testing by Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) on isolates cultured from specimens of five ill cases. Results showed that all 5 patients were infected with a genetic strain of E. coli O157:H7 identified as PulseNet pattern combined "EXHX01.0042/EXHA26.0536." A search of PulseNet revealed that two other Washington State residents and three out-of-state residents (one each in Colorado, Idaho, and New York) were positive for the same strain. Illness onset dates for the 10 patients ranged from August 17 to August 26, 2016. Ages ranged from 1 to 33 years (median 20 years). Six were hospitalized. Two patients developed Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) and no deaths were reported.
Seven of the ten patients ate at Matador between August 14 and August 19, 2016. This includes a resident of Colorado who visited Seattle and ate at Matador. The cases in New York and Idaho did not travel to Washington during the incubation period. In addition, one of the 10 cases resided in Skagit County, Washington and had no Matador exposure. The three non-Matador cases reported consuming ground beef from different sources in the week before symptom onset. No other commonalities were found.
Investigators conducted a case-control study to identify a contaminated food item consumed by Matador associated cases. Twelve controls were interviewed using a focused questionnaire. Nine of the 12 were well dining companions of ill cases. Three were identified through receipts from Matador. Investigators compared frequencies of menu items consumed by cases and controls. No menu item stood out. Investigators also compared frequencies and Odds Ratios of specific ingredients included in consumed menu items. No ingredient was statistically associated with illness.
According to public health records, Matador had been cited 10 times for food-handling practices linked to higher risks of food-borne disease since 2010. Six of those violations were for failure to keep food at the proper cold holding temperatures, which keeps bacteria growth in check, the records show. In response to the outbreak PHSKC environmental health staff conducted an on-site visit on September 9. Due to problems with cleaning and the potential for cross-contamination of food, PHSKC temporarily suspended Matador's food business permit. No ill employees were identified. Matador was allowed to reopen after all food was discarded and the facility was thoroughly cleaned.
Marler Clark represented 5 individuals affected by the outbreak, achieving settlements covering medical expenses, wage loss, pain and suffering, and disability, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Facing post-fire reconstruction delays, Papenhausen Hardware seeks help to find new home
Back in January, a fire ripped through 82-year-old hardware store Papenhausen Hardware (32 West Portal Ave.), collapsing its roof and causing serious interior damage.
The fire's cause remains unknown. But while the business was fully insured and is working to rebuild, construction delays have kept its doors closed for 10 months and counting, and the insurance that's allowed owner Matt Rogers to keep paying his employees is running out.
So Papenhausen's owners have embarked on a search for a temporary home in the neighborhood, in order to retain their longtime staff. Their hope is that community members might be able to provide some suggestions or assistance.
"We don't plan on building the full store," manager Karl Aguilar told Hoodline. "But we hope to get up and running and making some money, as opposed to no money."
Papenhausen has been in this position before — another fire shuttered the business in 1998, and the rebuilding process took nine months. After that, Rogers, who's owned Papenhausen since 1988, made sure that the store carried enough insurance coverage to pay his employees' salaries while they were out of work.
"But this one is taking longer," said Aguilar, who's worked at the store for 25 years. "We are going to run out of money for our employees, and we are going to lose them."
The delays have stemmed from the sheer amount of construction happening in the Bay Area, which has extended project timelines as construction businesses face high demand and employee and materials shortages.
The most recent delay has been rebuilding the roof framing, Aguilar explained. "The plan was dependent on prefabricated framing materials, but with so much construction going on, there's no one to make them. So it might take six months to get them."
Aguilar says the delays have pushed a reopening for Papenhausen to at least May 2019, if not later. Grocer/newsstand West Portal Daily and a hair salon also closed due to the fire, and it's unclear if they will return.
Members of Papenhausen's staff, many of whom have worked for Rogers and Aguilar for years, expressed concern at being forced to part ways with the store if the employee insurance runs out.
"Papenhausen was my dad's neighborhood hardware store — I grew up going to Karl and Matt for home fixes and housewares," sales associate Andrew Nayman told Hoodline. "[They] are easily the most responsible employers I've had to date. Their integrity and fairness often astonish me, even in the bleakest of situations."
As they wait out the reconstruction process, staff members have joined Rogers and Aguilar to volunteer in the community, lending a hand at West Portal Playground and West Portal Walkways cleanup events.
Aguilar also went through Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT) training when he learned there was no disaster plan for West Portal.
"It's important for the neighborhood to be able to understand how to handle a large disaster," he said. Since getting his certification, he's become the lead for the West Portal NERT team.
"We have to have a temporary place," Aguilar said. "Our employees are our most important resources. They have joined our family and we want to keep them."
"The reality of living in San Francisco is that you have to make money," he added. "You have to make a lot of money."
Aguilar is asking anyone with an available retail space "that might work" to send an email to karl [at] papenhausen [dot] com.

Inheritance Act Claims: Justice will be done
The myth of testamentary freedom
People often assume that when they eventually die they shall be free to leave all their worldly goods to whoever they choose in their will. However, the true legal position is very different. We do not have 'testamentary freedom'. The courts will step in to redistribute an estate whenever there is a need for justice to be done.
The Inheritance Act
The most relevant piece of law is the Inheritance (Provision for Family & Dependants) Act 1975 which allows specified groups of people such as husbands, wives and children to make an inheritance claim where a will (or the intestacy rules) fails to make adequate financial provision for their needs.
Judges are regularly required to make rulings on the implementation of the Inheritance Act and the legal position is constantly evolving.
Example of an inheritance claim made by a husband
One such case to come before the courts involved a couple in their nineties who had been married for over thirty years. During this time Mrs W had nursed her husband through the loss of his sight. Mr W had always paid all the household bills and financed their holidays. His state pension was paid straight into Mrs W's bank account.
When Mrs W died in September 2007 Mr W was shocked to learn that her investments over the years had enabled her to amass a tidy sum of £670,000. He was even more surprised to find out that she had not left any of it to him in her Will. Her fortune, which included the family home (registered in her sole name) had instead been left to Mrs W's daughter by a previous relationship, with other financial gifts to grandchildren and charities.
A further blow for Mr W was that she had changed her Will only a year prior to her death. Under the previous Will he would have inherited £50,000 and would have been allowed to stay in the family home until he died; what solicitors call a 'life interest'. It is believed that Mrs W had gone against her solicitor's advice in changing her Will after her husband became legally blind as she thought he would die before her due to his health.
With just £40,000 in savings and surviving on a state pension Mr W was left homeless as a result of Mrs W's Will. Mr W therefore brought a claim against his late wife's estate for 'reasonable financial provision' under the 1975 Inheritance Act.
Out of court settlement
After lengthy negotiations he received a sum of £225,000 in an out-of-court settlement. This enabled Mr W to purchase a house of his own and therefore secure his financial independence.
So, whilst you can leave your estate to whoever you wish, the law is on hand to rectify particular injustices should the outcome be manifestly unfair.
Spouses tend to have the strongest claims under the 1975 Inheritance Act, but there are other categories of people who are entitled to bring a claim including co-habitees, children and financial dependants.
The needs and resources of the parties
When an Inheritance Claim is brought against an estate the court will weigh up the needs and resources of the claimant with the needs and resources of those who benefit under the Will (or Intestacy if there is no Will). However, as happened in this case, such claims often settle out of court with the costs of all parties usually being paid from the estate.

15 Tips to Design Bathroom in Your House!
Gharpedia.com helps to Build/Own/Rent/Buy/Sell/Repair/Maintain your dream house by providing all the tips & tricks in easy languages. It provides solutions to all problems pertaining to houses right from concept to completion.
The bathroom is a room in the house for personal hygiene activities, which generally contain basin, W.C. and either a bathtub or shower area or both. Today's bathrooms are more than simply a place to wash. Nowadays they are being used for pampering & indulgence, a tranquil retreat in which one relaxes and unwinds, a beauty salon in your own home.
Keep these design tips in mind when you plan your dream bathroom & try to discover the best bathroom layout for your house:
01. Planning:
It is understood that the location of the bathroom and its size along with the location of doors and ventilations has been designed as a part of the overall design of the house by your architect in accordance with your taste, lifestyle, culture and budget. However, after the location is decided, it needs a lot to be done while designing the bathroom layout & its interiors. If you are remodeling your existing bathroom please read an exclusive article on the same in our website.
However assure that the overall dimensions are comfortable and as per your needs.
The best way to design bathroom is to visit a bathroom showroom, pick up all the latest brochures for different bathroom fixtures, floor materials and wall dados. Also feel the space by looking at the mock bathrooms in the show room. To design bathroom, always start looking at the best design and work for something that suits your budget. By planning this way you will be able to spot the best features in your range, and see where saving can be made without any loss of style.
After your market survey, start measuring your space in minor details. Then plot out your space on graph paper and cut out a vanity, tub, toilet, etc. to play with your bathroom layout till you got your layout. To design bathroom, here are some space requirements that you should keep in mind while preparing your bathroom layout.
Courtesy - Pixabay
- Leave 30″ (750mm) of clear space in front of any bathroom fixtures.
- 18″ (450mm) from center line of toilet to wall/ other fixture.
- Recommended minimum of 36″x36″ (900x900mm) space for shower.
- A separate toilet compartment should be minimum of 36″x66″ (900x1500mm) with a swing out or pocket door.
The Height of Different Bathroom Fixtures:
- Basin – 30″ (750mm)
- Bib cock for bath – 24″ (600mm)
- Shower – 82″ (2100mm)
- Bib cock for WC commode – 18″ (450mm)
- Location of tissue paper / bib cock holder on left or right of sitting position
- Tissue paper holder – 24″ (600mm)
Place the position of the door and window/ventilation in your plan, and then see that the bath, toilet & basin are in the best places. If the door takes up space when open, it could be re hung to open outwards or even be moved further along the wall. Also, assure that you are able to open the door fully and all bathroom fixtures are not coming in the way. Plumbing and electricity points should be done during the preparation of bathroom layout.
If you believe in Vastu assure that the location of WC pan is in the right orientation- direction as per your belief. Mostly people avoid East-west orientation. Also, see that the WC pan is preferably on the external wall so that it would be easy to connect it to external sewerage lines.
02. Wet and Dry Space:
The space planning should also take into consideration of locating basin counter and WC pan as a dry space and bath area as wet space, both separated. Though this does not matter much where there are no carpet floors in rooms particularly in warm and hot countries.
03. Space for Dressing or Walk-in Wardrobes:
If dressing area or dressing table or walking wardrobe is a part of the bathroom it needs to be designed in harmony with bedroom and bathroom interiors.
04. Walls:

Steamy bathroom needs a wall, which has water resistance surface that is why glazed tiles are mostly used near basins, bath and toilets. The damp that often occurs in bathrooms happens when they are not very well ventilated in winter and condensation becomes a problem. You can buy special paints for bathrooms made with added fungicides to combat mold and if you don't want to go with such chemicals in bathroom atmosphere, then you can go with oil-based paint or an emulsion paint.
05. Tiles on Walls:
Market is flooded with varieties of tiles. Most popular are vitrified tiles. Hundreds of colours and colour combinations with design patterns both floral as well geometrical with bands, borders etc. are available. Endless choices are available. One therefore has to select appropriate tiles, size, colour and various design patterns.
06. Floors:

Floors of bathroom get wetter than any other floor in the home. Therefore choose proper material for your bathroom flooring, which does not get affected by the water.
See that proper slope has been provided in the bath so that water easily gets drained towards the floor- Nahni trap.
When you lay the tiles start fixing tiles from the entrance so that full-size tiles are visible in front and cut pieces are at ends or along the bathroom fixtures. Similarly for dado also start laying tiles from the top. Avoid slippery floor tiles.
07. Storage:
Courtesy - Pixabay
Assess your space and make the most of any dead areas for storage. It includes wall to ceiling space above the toilet and bath and the wall under the basin or counter. If you want to keep extra towels in the bathroom, they can be folded and displayed. If your bathroom becomes cluttered with shampoo bottles, toothbrushes and shavers than all your hard work will be wasted. Always try to design bathroom by keeping proper space for toiletries. If space permits one can always design bathroom by creating a small shelf 4" to 5" wide at 75 m to 90 mm height in the wall itself by increasing the thickness of wall.
08. Essential Luxury:
A bathroom is a room for relaxing and recharging yourself and for your self-indulgence. The small luxuries should be included in the budget for your bathroom. Scented candles, bubble bath, fluffy towel on a heated rail and a comfortable bath mat can make you feel pampered.
The cupboard can help in hiding materials like spare toilet rolls and toiletry clutter in your bathroom. Look for some dead space in the bathroom where you could fit a small free-standing or wall-mounted unit.
09. Start Looking for your Bathroom Fixtures, AAccessories & Sanitary Wares:
After all these procedures, now you have a plan and budget, good ideas and requirements for your bathroom layout to design bathroom of your choice. Make a list of all the items needed and start sourcing your fixtures based on your budget and style.
Courtesy - 123rf
Start looking for your bathroom fixtures, accessories & sanitary wares to fit in your bathroom layout like,
- Toilet
- Vanity or Pedestal
- Tub, Shower + Glass or Shower Unit- cubicles
- Shower Valve
- Faucets
- Tile
- Mirror
- Lighting
- Grout
- Accessories like, toilet paper holder, towel ring or bars, rob hooks
Must Read: Types of Bathroom Accessories
10. Colour Scheme:
While designing bathroom, the colour scheme is very important. The colour of floor and wall tiles or wall paint along with colour of all bathroom fixtures, basin counter top, lights etc. are very crucial.
11. Doors:
Choose appropriate door so that the door doesn't get spoilt with the splashing of water.
12. Waterproofing:
Fixing leaking floor or pipe joints is a big headache. Employ skilled contractor to do waterproofing and plumbing works. Don't overrule specifications by architect or engineer or MEP consultant. Test all pipe joints at 6kg pressure.
13. Services:
(I) Hot Water:
A bathroom is a place where services play very important role. The concealed lines of water supply, drainage, the location of traps, flush tank or flush valve, cold and hot water mixture bodies, gas or electric geyser, exhaust fan, the slope of flooring etc. needs careful consideration. Assure that there is sufficient pressure in water conduits so that the shower as well as flush tanks or valves operate efficiently. For flush valves, the pressure should be minimum 1 kg i.e. 10 m head. (i.e., the overhead water tank must be 10 m above flush valve. If there is no flush valve the pressure of 0.5 kg i.e. 5m would also do). If possible avail services of good civil engineer or MEP consultant to design bathroom plumbing systems.
Choose appropriate gas or electrical or solar water heater for hot water. Provide hot and cold water regulating bathroom fixtures.
(II) Electricity:
Always appoint the qualified electrician to install new fittings. Never go with the DIY electrical job in your bathroom. All switches have to be outside the bathroom and make sure that an electrician follows all the correct procedures. All switches must be pull-cords, and all fittings must be kept well clear of any potential splashes. We would always advise you to have one main light with Two-way operations so that you can put on the light while entering so that one doesn't met with an accident while entering in the dark.
For safety, design bathroom light fittings with sealed units. The lighting should create a relaxing atmosphere with efficient illumination where it is most needed.
(III) Plumbing:
After figure out of the placement of shower, bathtub, basin and toilet in your bathroom layout, you should determine where you will need to run the plumbing lines. You will have to cut holes in the flooring to run the pipes to the bathroom fixtures.
14. Budget:
Determine your budget first. Always think that, what are you able or willing to spend, to design a bathroom for your house. There are so many options that it's easy to get carried away once the project is in progress. If you don't control yourself you are going to land in trouble ending huge money.
15. Ventilation:
Ventilation is the important point to consider before you design bathroom for your house. Minimum air changes should take place, and windows or adequate ventilators must be provided. Enough natural light should also be available. The adequate exhaust fan will help in maintaining fresh air circulation and will help in avoiding foul odour problem.

Justin Brunwasser is not only an old friend of mine and Richie's, he's one of my all-time favorite people and an uber-fabulous chef. This past Saturday, him and his awesome girlfriend Erika came out to Connecticut to hang. I'm shameless and made him sing for his supper (well, really I made him cook it!). We had an amazingly beautiful evening, a fantabulous and healthy meal, and some really good company. All in all, it was a grand-slam evening and I can't wait until the next time we all get together.
Justin is currently working at Friedman's Lunch in the Chelsea Market here in NYC. Definitely check him out there if you're in the hood (there are a few vegan dishes worth tasting on the menu). I asked him to write me a bit on our meal so here he is: (ps- Steve mentioned below is my dad, him and Justin are buddies too)
The Brown Rice Bowl originated from Chef Bill and Chef Neal at Community Food and Juice. There we served a different version with raw vegetables atop a mound of brown rice. We used radicchio, carrots, hothouse cucumbers, and bean sprouts but the same delicious dressing used here. I took the idea and put my own spin on it for Friedman's by sautéing Japanese eggplant, Baby bok choy (which we found in Steve's garden), bean sprouts and carrots and adding edamame beans into the rice. For our dinner we only could source organic Bell peppers, carrots, and zucchini as well as Steve's bok choy so we sauteed them and added english peas to the rice in substitute for the edamame. The point is with this amazing dressing and some brown rice you can take any vegetable that is in season or that you love and serve up a delicious, elegant, and healthy vegan meal. Even little Avi ate it all!
To make this sesame lime dressing take equal parts soy sauce, rice vinegar, sweet chili sauce, fresh squeezed lime juice, and honey. Add it to a blender with half the amount of fresh ginger, garlic, and scallions. Add a dash of sesame oil and puree. While blending add one cup of oil slowly to emulsify the dressing.
Bon Appétit.
Here are some pictures from our evening:

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets review by DrunkyIf theres a plotline for a movie that cant miss with me its a treasure hunt. I eat it up. I love everything Indiana Jones. My favorite movie as a kid was Goonies a hunt for piratess treasure. And to be honest, Goonies is still in my top 20 movies of all time. Hell, to be really honest, its probably in my top 10. Ive owned a metal-detector, Ive panned for gold in Colorado, and Ive purchased more than one treasure-seeker magazine in my time. I havent done any of these things since my early teens but they all still sound like a good time to me. But in these more-practical and less-fantastical adult years I rely on Hollywood to give me my occasional treasure-hunt fix.
So I fill my crack pipe with National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets. The story picks up with the characters a few years after we last saw them triumphant and super-rich at the end of the first film. Its a textbook Hollywood-type start to a sequel as all our heroes are conveniently kicked back to being chumps, so that they can build themselves up to champions again. Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage) is estranged from his gal (Diane Kruger), so hes kicked out of the mega-mansion and living with his dad (Jon Voight) in a humble abode. The other team member: tech-whiz Riley (comic-relief Justin Bartha) has lost all his bucks to the IRS. To make matters worse for Ben Gates, some new information has just come out that points to his great-great-grandfather Thomas Gates as the likely lead-conspirator in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Ben sets out to clear his family name by trying to disprove this information and in the process finds himself on a hunt for one of the greatest treasures of all time.
Sounds like a slam-dunk storyline to me. Unfortunately, heres where director Jon Turteltaub steps on the gas with his eye on the finish line. Ive never seen a movie with so much plot combined with so little substance. Here are some of the storylines and sub-plots of this movie: the truth behind the Lincoln assassination, Ben Gates estranged relationship with Abigail, Bens dads estranged relationship with Bens mom, the plot to kidnap the U.S. President, the Presidential Book of Secrets that contains the truth on things like Area 51 and the Kennedy Assassination, bad-guy Wilkinsons (Ed Harris) quest for historical immortality, FBI agent (Harvey Keitels) renewed buddy-enemy relationship with Ben and his hunt to catch him, the history behind and hunt for the great treasure (which shall go unnamed for minor spoiler relief), and various puzzles to solve which take Ben and his companions to France and to England before returning to America for plenty more puzzles to solve. Can you imagine all this (and more) being played-out in an interesting manner in one two-hour movie? If you can, youve got an imagination that would weird-out Dr. Suess because it cant be done. All this stuff is crammed in, and sped through with no substance whatsoever.
Now, I dont have a problem enjoying a Disney adventure-romp thats meant to be a lot of flash, fun & tempo and not much else. But when you write substance checks, you gotta cash em. What youve got here are over-zealous writers who put together what wouldve made two or three good movies and the director had to slash it all down to one. But what needed to be done was to take out some of the sub-plots in their entirety. Bens dad & mom relationship thing? Gone! Every Harvey Keitel scene? Gone! There wouldnt have been any loss, and the remaining plotlines could have been expanded properly, or at least a little moreso. Keitel must have been particularly pissed/bummed by the way, because if you watch the DVD extras youll see that he had the bulk of what was to be his role totally cut out of the movie. What remained amounted to Look its Harvey Keitel! Remember him from the first movie? Yeah all these cuts would have to have been decided before they signed Keitel and Helen Mirren (Bens mom) to contracts, so chalk it up to bad planning.
But if you watch the DVD commentary, Turtletaub repeatedly defends the cuts (which if put back into the movie still wouldnt have been near enough). He repeatedly says I think movies are generally too long. Now, hes either a liar who is defending his filmmaking plus telling the studios which employ him what they like to hear or hes a dunce. Im going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume hes just a liar since some of his previous work is acceptable fare that is definitely not rushed like Phenomenon and While You Were Sleeping. If he really truly likes the mish-mashed end result of National Treasure 2, then I have to assume that when he goes to Burger King to have it his way he orders his burger with mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, horseradish, tarter sauce, italian dressing, tabasco and barbeque sauce takes a big bite and exclaims mmmmm so many delicious flavors!!
And heres a hint Turteltaub when you make a movie where somebody is getting clues and solving puzzle after puzzle you have to at least give your audience a chance to say Gee whiz however are we going to figure this out? before the hero is already onto the next puzzle. This applies even when we wouldve had no chance of figuring it out. Otherwise its akin to sitting behind someone on the bus and watching them do a crossword puzzle when youre close enough to be able to see the answers hes writing-in but not close enough to see the clues. Negative fun.
I feel the need to say I have no problem with any of the cast in this movie. I like what Nick Cage brings to the table. Justin Bartha seems to be an untapped talent. Im an Ed Harris fan. And I think Keitel plays his role to perfection when hes not being cut out. What a mismanagement of resources.
Theres a big problem with the conclusion of the main plotline too which I cant go into for spoiler purposes. But for a beloved treasure-hunt movie I would have been cool with totally letting that go. But what I cant let go is terrible pacing that ruins the progression of the treasure hunt and sucks the magic out of the movie.

Love is in the air this weekend! There is nothing more exhilarating than being "in love", but nothing worse than loving the wrong person.
Rev. Sarah Puryear shared a poem in her sermon on Valentine's Day at St. George's Episcopal Church. We concentrate on our human love on the holiday, but 365 days of the year, we can count on God's love for us.
George Herbert wrote this poem in 1633 about the relationship that Jesus ("Love") has with us. Regardless of our need for human affection, let us not forget the love that surpasses all, "...for God is love." (1 John 4:8).
by George Herbert
Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I lack'd anything.
"A guest," I answer'd, "worthy to be here";
Love said, "You shall be he."
"I, the unkind, the ungrateful? ah my dear,
I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand and smiling did reply,
"Who made the eyes but I?"
"Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them; let my shame
Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?"
"My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat."
So I did sit and eat.
Blessings, my friend,

Campervan Essentials
Following on from my last post about buying a campervan, we now have it and it is full of all the campervan essentials. I drove down to Llanelli last Saturday for a last drive in my Meriva and collected the camper. The drive back in it was fine and I made it was far as Aberaeron before the low fuel light came on – at least I've checked out that particular warning light and it works!
Once at home the first thing Anna noticed was that they hadn't left the VW cushions in it as they had promised! Oh well, I guess that wasn't a deal breaker. We've now had it for a week and have bought a few extras for it so that it is almost fully kitted out and ready to go. I gave it a good wash and polish too and obviously spotted a few little chips and marks that we hadn't noticed before. That's to be expected on a 6 year old vehicle I guess. It still looks nice on the driveway though.
We managed to get the little blue LED lights working as well. These come on when the sliding door opens but the switch was a little bit dodgy. The cab is nice and clean, the interior all seems OK and with almost 100,000 miles on the clock it seems to drive OK and was almost ready to go when we bought it.
For the cab I did buy an iPhone mount and a charging cable so that I can listen to podcasts whilst driving and use the phone for navigation too. The head-unit has Bluetooth built in so it'll connect wirelessly to it, but it also has a USB port. It seems as though the phone will charge through this port as well as connect to the head-unit via USB so I'll probably end up using that to charge and connect at the same time. There's also a hands-free microphone, which coupled with Siri voice recognition means everything seems to work hands-free as far as that is concerned.
With that sorted it was time to pack the van so that we could try it out.
Packing the Campervan – Essential Kit
Kitchen Equipment
We've filled the cupboards with campervan essentials: Pots, pans, plates, cups and cutlery. Tin openers, knives, scissors and other kitchen utensils are all neatly stored as well. We have washing-up liquid, sponge scourers for keeping things clean and hygienic too and of course plenty of kitchen roll for mopping up spills. We even have a VW Campervan tea towel!
Everything is neatly stowed away in the cupboards or drawers and doesn't seem to rattle around whilst driving.
We also have various long lasting food items stowed away ready to go. Teabags, coffee, Hot Chocolate, Pot Porridges and Pot Noodles, snack bars and such like are all in little boxes. The fridge has bottles of water, orange juice, cartons of UHT milk and bars of chocolate. Chocolate is of course a campervan essential! I'm sure the list here will grow and we'll obviously supplement with healthy food as we go – we'll buy most of that as and when needed though on longer camping trips.
We have bought a gas bottle but haven't quite installed it yet as we might get someone to check the gas safety for us first. We do have our little camping stove in there as well though and it'll probably stay in there as a back-up just in case we run out of gas in the main tank.
Sleeping Kit
Anna feels the cold quite a bit so we've got sleeping bags each, pillows and several duvets and quilts too. A fitted sheet covers the bed nicely as well but gets put away in the cupboards when we're not sleeping on it. We've bought a cool cab-bank for Morgan. It packs up into a little bag when not in use and then fits together easily ready for sleeping on. When in use it rests on the tops of the wide door cards and stretches across the entire width of the van from the drivers door to the passenger door. It's then raised off the seats a little for a super comfy cool hammock like sleeping experience.
We've also bought some thermal window blinds for the windscreen and cab windows so that it's nice and dark and super-cosy up front for Morgan. Mind you, if he grows too much he might outgrow the cab bunk soon.
We obviously have a washkit in the van too with wet wipes, shaving kit, toothbrushes and other campervan essentials. I'm sure there's deodorant and shampoo too so that we can stay looking and smelling good whatever our campervan trips throw at us. We have plenty of towels too as you can never have too many towels.
Outdoor Essentials
Coats, waterproofs, boots, hats and gloves will all be taken with us as required. Although, we're likely to be camping in place like Wales and Scotland so I can see the need for these to be in the van ready to go at all times. Sunscreen, midge repellent and a first aid kit will be in there at all times too.
The camper has a table in it but we've put our fold away camp table in there too. If the sun comes out and we fancy dining outdoors we'll be able to do so. Some camp chairs will live in the van as well, although we're not sure where these will fit yet..
The whole point of a bigger vehicle is the ability to carry more toys. There's no way I'll get everything in / on it at the same time but we'll want to carry all of it separately at some point and as much as we can on longer trips. I've already bought and fitted a roof-rack courtesy of the excellent Slide Bars and feet from Thule. Although I had bought a set of these just before Christmas, a new set with different feet and longer bars was needed for the camper. I did notice some odd rust and possible damage on the roof whilst fitting these so will have to get that checked out at some point.
Talking of discoveries, the van has jet black 19″ alloy wheels and these are shod with some oversize 255/55 tyres. This makes the circumference quite a bit bigger than the stock wheels and tyres. I therefore thought it sensible to check the speedo by cross-referencing it with a GPS device. I've done this in the past with other cars and usually the speedo on the dashboard reads around 10% higher than your actual speed measured by GPS. I've always assumed this was a safety thing. However, it would seem that the vans speed hasn't been recalibrated to take into consideration the larger circumference of the wheels and tyres. Because of this, when the speedo says the van is doing 60mph, it's actually doing 65mph… Something I'll have to be a aware of!
Watersports Toys
Anyway, back to the roofrack. We'll probably end up putting the roof box on the van most of the time. It's white and therefore matches it well and means that I can put windsurfing sails, masts and booms in there to keep the wet things out of the camper. I'll never get all of my windsurfing rigs in there at the same time but 3 will go which should keep me happy. Windsurf boards will go on the roof alongside or on top of the roof box. Again, I'll only be able to get a few on there at any one time. That may sound like enough, but I have at least 9 in total!
My Surf Ski should fit better on the van than it did on the Meriva too, and the same can be said for the SUP and the canoe. Mind you, I think we'll have to take the roofbox off in order to get the canoe on. Basically we won't be able to get everything on it at the same time, but maybe we'll manage 3 rigs in the roof box and a windsurf board on top of it, along with the SUP and some surfboards so that we have plenty of toys for a week away.
As far as bikes are concerned we are going to get a towbar fitted and will buy an Atera Strada DL bike carrier as it's the only one that will allow the barn doors to open whilst bikes are on the rack. It's not the cheapest bike rack out there and with the added cost of a towbar it's actually quite expensive but it'll allow us to carry 3-4 bikes, it gets excellent reviews and will keep all of the mud and dirt outside of the van.
Cycling kit, wetsuits, helmets and other sports related clothing will all go into boxes and trugs that will fit under the bed or in the back of the van.
We also have a box full of games. Travel Scrabble, card games, word-search puzzles and plenty of others that should keep us amused on miserable, rainy evenings. Morgan loves playing these so maybe if we only play them in the camper it'll encourage him to come away with us more often.
Electrical Items
We can't go everywhere these days without iPhones, iPads, GoPro Cameras, GPS devices and other such things . So, as well as the gadgets themselves we also have a drawer full of chargers and cables. We have also bought an adaptor and cable for charging the leisure battery and to hook up to a 240V supply on campsites. This is stored in the back of the van so that it's there when needed.
It's surprising just how much stuff we can stow away in the campervan. I'm sure I've forgotten to mention some of our campervan essentials here. We could of course manage without most of it, However, it's nice to have all of these things and the idea is that we can just go away and stay wherever we fancy at the drop of a hat. In fact, even if we find ourselves somewhere and can't be bothered to drive home or fancy the night there we can just stay in the van. Everything should be there ready to go.
You know what that means – Time to try it out overnight somewhere!

Hope you left room for Anna's book!!!
Hope you all have really good adventures x
You will have so much fun! Ours has some cooking rings and by the end of our last holiday we'd got co-ordinated enough to make little meals like scrambled eggs on toast and pasta in tomatoey sauce. By the way if you stay on camp sites save up your 20ps as a lot of the showers run on those.

April 12, 1947 – England
April 29, 2018 – Calgary, Alberta
It is with great sadness that the family of Frank Slabosz, announce his sudden passing on Sunday, April 29, 2018, at the age of 71 years with his family by his side.
Frank will forever be remembered by his loving wife and best friend, Patricia Slabosz, children, Deanna (Shawn) Baldwin, Curtis (Becky Coutu) Slabosz and daughter in-law, Andrea LaPietra. Frank will never be forgotten by his amazing grandchildren, Josh, Emma, Tate and soon to be fourth grandchild, Baby (Peanut) Slabosz. Frank will be remembered by his dear sister, Theresa. Frank was predeceased by his Mother Stefania, Father Walter and man's best friend, Cujo, the chocolate lab. He was loved and will be dearly missed by many cousins, nieces, nephews, other family and friends. Frank was born in Diddington, England in 1947. After his Polish Mother and Father survived the labour camps during the Second World War, they immigrated to Canada when Frank was one and a half years old. They set sail from Liverpool, England to Montreal and then settled on a farm south of Wynyard, Saskatchewan where Frank lived with his family until graduation. In 1967 Frank met the love of his life, Patricia, and they were married in November, 1969. They celebrated the birth of their daughter Deanna in 1975 and son Curtis in 1979. Frank worked for Water Survey of Canada as a Hydrometric Surveyor. After thirty years of service at the age of fifty he retired in 1997. After retirement he started his own company, Curdee Enterprises (named after Curtis and Deanna), doing construction jobs and soon finding his niche building decks building well over a hundred decks in Calgary.
Frank loved being a part of his community and was always involved with making the community better, whether he was building ice rinks for the kids in the neighbourhood, creating a community basketball league or coaching his children's sports.
He loved talking to his many neighbours who soon became his lifelong friends. Frank loved taking an annual trip to the lake and teaching his kids and eventually his grandkids how to do the water sports he enjoyed. He water-skied to the age of sixty-seven. Frank also loved riding his bike. Just this past winter in Palm Springs he would ride thirty kilometres daily and was proud of the odd day to ride fifty kilometers. Frank always looked forward to his annual trip to Palm Springs, but more than anything, he loved watching his three grandchildren grow up and was very excited to meet his fourth which is due to arrive in June. Frank enjoyed attending ball hockey and ice hockey games, to support his grandchildren and would do anything in his power to help them succeed. You could see in Frank's eyes that he truly cherished the time he spent with his grandchildren. Frank wasn't always a man of many words but would not hesitate to bend Pat's ear, or any of the numerous neighbors that he would spend hours talking to, to let them all know how proud he was of his children. A love like Frank and Pat's will never be duplicated and is something we can all admire. They truly set the bar high for us to one day be able to feel this true definition of love. This wonderful man touched so many people's lives and will forever be missed.
The family would like to thank Dr. Michael Su and all the nursing and medical staff at the Foothills Hospital for their efforts, dedication and compassion while Frank was in their care. Frank would have liked to specifically thank Dr. Jeremy deBruyn for the years of dedicated medical care which Frank received. The family would also like to say thank you to our many friends and family for their support and kindness during this difficult time.
Funeral Services will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY (Crowfoot, 82 Crowfoot Circle N.W., Calgary, AB), on Saturday, May 12, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Frank's life. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.

The draft report by the Care Inspectorate on SB Cares' east home service has been challenged by the company's operations director for being too negative.
At last Thursday's meeting of Scottish Borders Council's major contracts governance group, SB Cares operations director Lynne Crombie said: "I'm meeting with the Care Inspectorate because I'd like to challenge some of the content that they've put in.
"The way the Care Inspectorate reports has changed, and we have now a restriction on the number of words they can use in each section.
"Previously, they were able to highlight areas we were working well in and the areas we needed improvement as two separate areas, but now they've mixed it all in together."
The dispute comes just weeks after a Care Inspectorate report into SB Cares' home west service revealed that care chiefs had not acted on required improvements to staff training.
Now the council plans to challenge the new report on its east home care service ahead of its formal publication.
Ms Crombie added: "Particularly locally, the inspectors do seem to pick up on the negatives and tell you what you need to improve on rather than highlighting the things that we've done well over the previous year, so that's what I'm challenging.
"I think we need to get a more balanced approach because at the moment it's very subjective the way the Care Inspectorate chooses to report on things, and I think we need to get better at challenging that and making sure that they're also acknowledging positives."
A spokesperson for the inspectorate said: "Our report will clearly set out the positive elements we found, but we will not shy away from highlighting areas that need to improve.
"Whilst we found some positives on this inspection, we also found some areas that are not currently good enough."
"We share a draft of our report with providers before the final report is published to highlight any factual inaccuracies and consider their comments, but our role is to tell the public what we have found based on the evidence we uncover."

FAMILY lawyers fear proposals to offer mediation to couples involved in divorce may become compulsory by the back door.
The proposals, which are to be published in a white paper, are part of a package scrapping 'quickie' divorces, removing the notion of 'fault' and ending lengthy court actions.
The Lord Chancellor has not indicated he will make mediation compulsory but the changes will offer every couple the opportunity to reach agreement informally.
However, lawyers believe that, in effect, law firms which offer mediation will consequently be placed in a stronger position when applying for a legal aid franchise.
Solicitors' Family Law Association spokesman Nigel Shepherd says because the Government is unlikely to provide more funding, money will have to come out of the existing budget.
But he says: "Government sums are wrong in comparing the cost of legal advice and mediation." He says mediation is "currently subsidised by charity or mediators working for rates that would not be accepted on a worldwide basis".
Some solicitors feel the emphasis on mediation could be used to exclude legal advice.
"The greater encouragement of mediation is to be supported. But it is not suitable in every case and in so far as it is used as a replacement for legal advice that must be strenuously disagreed with," says Shepherd, of Lace Mawer in Manchester.
He says the group supports many of the proposals such as a year for reflection after filing for divorce "provided that it's used constructively to sort out arrangements for children and the financial arrangements".

Brain-Gut Connection in Annapolis, MD
The gut, which helps the body digest food and convert it to energy, is an essential part of a healthy digestion system. The gut is home to thousands of different bacteria, some of which have positive effects on health and some of which have negative. Recent medical studies indicate that there may be a strong connection between mental health and gut health. This is known as the brain-gut connection.
Gut inflammation may cause a number of brain health issues. Request more information about the brain-gut connection today: Call (410) 567-0667 or contact Dr. Alan Stuart Weiss online.
What is the Brain-Gut Connection?
The brain-gut connection refers to the interconnected nature of the gut and the brain. There is research to suggest that when the gut has become inflamed or damaged, it may affect brain health. Some signs that gut inflammation may be affecting the brain include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Chronic stress
- Headaches
- Low libido
- Poor memory
- Sleep disturbance
- "Cloudy" thinking
- Chronic fatigue
These issues may be caused by inflammation and oxidative stress in the gut.
The human body functions as one system made up of many interconnected parts. When one of these parts, such as the gut, is suffering it can affect other areas, such as the brain.
Gut inflammation itself can stem from many different issues, including:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Poor diet
- Chemicals and toxins
- Certain autoimmune diseases
- Bacterial infections
Just as poor gut health can affect the brain, mental health issues can also lead to problems in the gut. Signs that excess stress or depression may be affecting the gut include:
- Abdominal cramping
- Trouble digesting food
- Diarrhea
- Inflammatory bowel disease
How is Gut Inflammation Treated?
Gut inflammation treatment will vary depending on the individual provider, as well as the person's specific needs. Healing the mental problems associated with the brain-gut connection typically begins by addressing the underlying cause of the gut inflammation.
Possible treatment methods include:
- Lifestyle changes
- Dietary supplementation
- Elimination diet
- Digestive enzymes
- Probiotics
- Hormone replacement
- Certain medications
- Detoxification
- Exercise
- Therapy
Ultimately, addressing the brain-gut connection requires treatment individually tailored to the person. Just as no two people have exactly the same mind, the gut also varies from person to person. With the right treatment, balance in the brain-gut connection may be restored and the issues affecting the two systems can be mitigated.

Gut inflammation may be the cause of your mental health issues. Request treatment information today: Call (410) 567-0667 or contact Dr. Alan Stuart Weiss online.

Linh Vu
Age: 52
Country of Origin: Vietnam
Current Location: Sacramento, Calif.
When she was 9 years old, Linh Vu did not have toys to play with. Instead, she and her six younger siblings passed the time playing "Escaping Vietnam": They pretended the floor was water, and they jumped across couches and tables, trying to escape imaginary bombs. It's not the kind of game every 9-year-old is used to, but it was all Vu knew back in 1975.
Her family had left Vietnam just a few months earlier. "The boats around us were exploding and all the people we knew around us were dying... We went down under the bottom deck and we all prayed. We didn't know where we were going. All we knew is that we just have to go out to sea and pray that we hit land. It didn't matter what country," she recalls.
Vu's family went from a U.S. military base in Guam to a refugee camp in Pennsylvania before resettling in the San Francisco area with the help of extended family. Once there, Vu started fifth grade. Her father, who used to be a school principal in Vietnam, started a job as a school janitor.
"I would cry every day because it was so scary," says Vu. "My teacher, Mr. Mason, was anti-Vietnam War so he didn't treat us very well. He just sat me in the corner of the room and basically ignored me every day. I always felt like an outsider."
Vu's limited English made her especially lonely in the classroom. Her parents' divorce a few years later left Vu feeling isolated within her family, too.
Now, Vu is an elementary school teacher who lives in Sacramento, Calif., with two children.
"In Vietnam, you're not supposed to talk to your parents. You're being talked to; you're not supposed to talk back." she says. "I was never close with my parents, so I hope that [my children] have an emotionally safe place to fall or someone they can talk to, because I was never able to do that. I was always in my head."
Vu's old memories from Vietnam are limited to the plump fruit trees in her backyard, the sturdy brick fence surrounding her one-story house, and the deafening bombs. She no longer feels attached to the place she once called home.
"I'm OK with never visiting Vietnam," Vu says. "I don't have a lot of attachments or memories. Like how people go back and say 'Here's where I lived!' But I don't know where I lived. Everyone I knew from Vietnam is gone."

The Seven Deadly Sins: Vanity
In his depiction of the Seven Deadly Sins, Hieronymus Bosch gets pride — and by extension, vanity — exactly right. A woman stands at the wardrobe fixing her veil. Her rosary seems to lie unused on the floor, because she esteems herself as not needing divine help. Most damning of all, it is a demon (similarly veiled) that holds the mirror facilitating her self-focus. Rightly did Chesterton quip that "the wickedest work in this world is symbolized not by a wine glass but by a looking-glass."
Most lists of the Seven Deadly Sins have pride as the first. However, Saint Thomas Aquinas, following the lead of Pope Saint Gregory the Great, regarded pride not as one of the seven proper but as a more general vice animating the others. In its place vanity heads the top of the list. The two vices look a lot alike. Precisely because vanity is the first of its seven lieutenants, it bears a great resemblance to pride. So to get a handle on vanity, we should first take a look at pride.
Pride is the inordinate desire for excellence — "the appetite for excellence in excess of right reason," Thomas says. Notice: we are supposed to desire excellence. God has created us for it. Problem is, pride twists this desire out of shape. Thus Satan desired to have his greatness independent of God. Adam and Eve tried to become like God on their own terms. Wanting to be like God was not the problem, but the grasping for it themselves. "Pride imitates God inordinately," says Saint Augustine. Pride is thus also an inordinate esteem of oneself — inordinate because contrary to the truth. "Pride consists in a man making his personality the only test, instead of making the truth the test," Chesterton said.
The antidote to pride is humility, which is not so much a lowly estimation of oneself as an honest one, in accord with the truth. The humble man still desires excellence, as he ought. But he does so with a realistic understanding of his limitations, flaws, and absolute need for divine assistance. He knows how to put down the mirror and pick up the rosary. God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble (Jas 4:6). He resists the proud because they want everything without Him. He gives grace to the humble because…well, because they allow Him to.
Now the first vice to proceed from pride is vanity. It is really the outward manifestation of pride's interior rot. Geoffrey Chaucer saw them as two expressions of pride: "one of them is within the heart of man and the other is without." If pride is the inordinate estimation of oneself intellectually, vanity is the inordinate desire for external glory.
Again, an inordinate desire. It is not wrong to desire glory. There would be something wrong with an athlete who did not long for the glory that comes from sports. And something wrong with the Christian who does not desire the glory that God has bestowed and promised. Vanity, however, is the redirection of this good desire to empty – vain – things. It leads us to desire the wrong kind of glory (e.g. mere human praise) or to desire it wrongly (e.g. when we do not deserve it). The Greek word for "vanity" literally means "empty glory." For that is precisely what the vain person does: he hankers after praise and glory that is passing and therefore empty.
Thus the vain person views all reality through the lens of self-promotion. He worries about how he appears to others, what they think, what they say about him, and so on. He lives not his own life but a life chained to the world's approval. Vanity enslaves us to human respect (What will they say?) and leads to the little (or not so little) lies we tell to look good. It is not a new vice, of course, but our technological culture seems to multiply its opportunities. How often do we chase after the empty glory that social media promises? How often do we fall into the immodesty that it makes possible?
Vanity can distort even the spiritual life. It can twist prayer from contemplation and praise of Him to simply thinking about ourselves in His presence. And that excessive focus on our sinfulness to the neglect of God's mercy…it might masquerade as humility, but it is really another work of vanity, another way of turning things back to…ourselves.
One virtue that battles against vanity is modesty – which seeks proper decorum and comportment, and keeps us from pushing ourselves forward, calling attention to ourselves, and seeking counterfeit glory. But the virtue that really counters vanity's influence is magnanimity – the "greatness of soul" that prompts us to desire great things in virtue. Magnanimity seeks the glory for which we are created. Vanity settles for false honors and empty glory, for the praises and accolades of this world, for the applause of the crowd today that means nothing tomorrow. Magnanimity strives after the greatness promised us. In this way, magnanimity keeps our natural instinct for glory on the right path, directing it to the One Who alone bestows true glory.

Bridging the gap in port security : network centric theory applied to public/private collaboration

"Achieving awareness in the maritimer domain, including intelligence and information sharing at all levels of government is a key to our maritime security. Better awareness of what it out there leads to better unity of effort in maritime planning and operations. We need to have a common operating picture. We also need to integrate our operational capabilities and efforts with our private sector partners to better prepare for respond to, and recover from incidents." --Admiral Thad Allen, 2007." The application of Network Centric Warfare theory enables all port stakeholders to better prepare for a disaster through increased information sharing and collaboration. Currently, a significant gap in connectivity exists among the many entities responsible for securing the intermodal supply chain throughout the port complex. The research conducted in this thesis creates an architecture using the theory of Network Centric Warfare to perpetuate a cycle of preparedness in a seaport, thus enhancing situational awareness for improved security. As a result of the research conducted in this thesis, the architecture is being applied in the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach in the form of a public/private "virtual maritime fusion center" to fill the gap between stakeholders thus improving overall maritime domain awareness.

What seems to work for me when I am dressing for the day is to choose in three's. Whether it be texture or pattern then, I like to add a splash of color somewhere in my outfit…it tends to make everything pop out at you. Since I am more of a neutral girl I don't go overboard with a lot of color. You will most often see me in shades of a neutral. When spring and summer come around I get a little more adventurous, but during the winter months I will play more with the textures and patterns in gray, black, cream, etc.

When it comes to microfiber detailing towels for cars the options are seemingly endless. If you understand some basic terminology and towel specifications finding the right car detailing microfiber towels for you will be easier.
First and foremost, one thing that isn't disclosed in the product specifications is the general quality of the yarn. All of our auto detailing towels use premium AA grade yarn with a fine denier. Many competitors with auto detailing towels (like what you will find in big box stores, or cheaper online sources) will use lower grade, and less expensive yarn, but will have the same product specifications (blend, weave, weight, pile, size, color), this creates a towel that looks and feels similar, but doesn't perform as well.
GSM - Grams per Square Meter - Is the weight of one piece of material one meter wide by one meter tall. Some people confuse it with quality or plushness, but it is only a measure of weight.
Blend - Ratio of Material Components: Polyester and Polyamide. Usually between 70/30 and 80/20. Lower quality competitors use 85/15, 90/10, 95/5, and 100% polyester.
Weave/Pile - The type of weave or knit of the fabric, mostly related to the machine on which they are made and it's settings. You can have high pile and low pile weaves, smooth and with contours.
Size - Small or Large Microfiber Towels
Edge - How the edges of the towels are finished
Country of Origin - The country of manufacture.
Microfiber towels are made of the finest material you can use to detail your vehicle. Microfiber towels are entirely man-made of polyester and polyamide, which give microfiber towels incredible strength and durability. Not only that, microfiber towels can be woven to suit different jobs, like polishing, drying, and buffing. Using the right microfiber towel will make any detailing task easier. Microfiber towels last longer than cotton terry cloth or natural chamois, too. For value, performance, and durability, nothing beats microfiber towels.

Cauliflower was very popular in the 70s and was one of the staple vegetables, smothered in white sauce alongside the Sunday roast. Cauliflower cheese was also the rage then. Today, it seems that our taste for it's more glamorous green cousin, broccoli, is strengthening but let's not forget its old, maybe paler, yet nutritious counterpart. Cauliflower is after all God's gift to cheese sauce and to a good curry for that matter!
It is a member of the Brassica family of plants, which also includes broccoli, kale, cabbage, turnips and Brussels sprouts. It's a bit of the odd man out really as it lacks the green chlorophyll found in other cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and kale. This is because the outer leaves of the plant shield the florets from the sun as they grow. It has a compact head (called a "curd"), usually about six inches in diameter that is composed of undeveloped flower buds. The flowers are attached to a central stalk. Of course when it's broken apart into separate buds, cauliflower florets look like little trees, something that many children are fascinated by.
The milk, sweet, almost nutty flavour of cauliflower is at its best when it is in season, which is pretty much most of the year now luckily. Cauliflower is high in vitamin C and folate, and a source of potassium. Vitamin C is important for a healthy immune system and for collagen building. Folate is important for a healthy nervous system and for healthy blood cells. Potassium is essential for regulating our blood pressure.
Cauliflower also provides us with glucosinolates, which may help to protect our bodies from pollutants and free radicals which can damage cells and tissues.
If you don't think you will use an entire cauliflower head, ask for half a head or look out for pre-prepared florets in smaller portion bags for your convenience. And get back to some traditional good home-cooking – nothing could be easier or more satisfying than the comforting aroma and taste of cauliflower cheese.
You can try sprucing up some cauliflower dishes with the following suggestions. Keep experimenting!
- Stir-fry cauliflower with garlic and minced ginger as a delicious side dish.
- For cauliflower with a vivid yellow color, stir-fry it briefly with a spoonful of turmeric or generous pinch of saffron.
- Puree cooked cauliflower, add fennel seeds and your other favourite herbs and spices and serve as soup.
- Because of its shape and taste, cauliflower florets make wonderful crudite for dipping in salsa and dips.
- Add lightly steamed cauliflower florets to pasta dishes.
- Raw cauliflower can be added to salads or used for dipping.
- The leaves and stalk of cauliflower are edible, and can be used in your favourite soup.
- Cauliflower cheese is a popular side-dish. If you're watching your waist line, you can keep the fat content down, by using skimmed milk and reduced-fat cheddar in the cheese sauce.

Kale is a leafy green vegetable that belongs to the Brassica family, a group of vegetables including cabbage and Brussels sprouts that have gained widespread attention due to their health promoting, sulphur-containing phytonutrients.
The beautiful leaves of the kale plant provide an earthy flavour and lots of nutritional value for very few calories. Along with broccoli, it is probably one of the most outstanding of vegetables in terms of its nutritional brillance. It is high in vitamin C, folate and carotene as well as being a source of fibre and potassium.
Like broccoli and cauliflower, kale is a descendent of the wild cabbage, a plant thought to have originated in Asia Minor and to have been brought to Europe around 600 B.C. by groups of Celtic wanderers. Curly kale played an important role in early European food ways, having been a significant crop during ancient Roman times and a popular vegetable eaten by peasants in the Middle Ages. English settlers brought kale to the United States in the 17th century.
Serving suggestions to try….
- Stir-fry kale with fresh garlic and sprinkle with lemon juice and olive oil before serving.
- Braise chopped kale and apples. Before serving, sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and chopped walnuts.
- Combine chopped kale, pine nuts and feta cheese with wholegrain pasta drizzled with olive oil.
- The taste and texture of steamed kale makes it a wonderful topping for homemade pizzas.
- Young, tender kale leaves are a great substitute for lettuce in a sandwich
- Add shredded kale to stir-fries and use instead of spinach in recipes

Celery has become a common household staple along with carrots, onions and potatoes.
Its crunchy texture and distinctive flavour makes it a popular addition to salads and many cooked dishes.
The Romans discovered that celery's unique taste made it the ideal vegetable for seasoning food. Centuries on, the French were to name it, along with the onion and the carrot, the perfect seasoning trio, the mire-poix. A mire-poix is really just the chopped-up ensemble of the three vegetables — sweated, simmered or stewed. It's used as the base for innumerable dishes, whether in stocks, stews, casseroles or sauces. So versatile!
From this era of culinary genius, celery's fame went from strength to strength. A simple stick of celery was later to become a prerequisite for the perfect Bloody Mary, along with a sprinkling of its salt in the tomato juice mix. The famous Waldorf salad calls for celery along with walnuts and apples.
Even the celery leaves are really lovely chopped in a salad in the same way that you might use flat-leaf parsley, interspersed with other salad leaves. Waste not, want not!
Celery is of interest to medical scientists researching pthalide. This active compound found in celery is thought to relax the muscles of the arteries and help regulate blood pressure. Dilated vessels give more space for the blood to flow, decreasing pressure. In China celery juice is often proclaimed as a natural tonic to help lower blood pressure but perhaps its benefits may also be due to celery being a source of potassium.
In the meantime here are some ways to include and enjoy celery. And you don't have to worry one bit about the calories lucking in this vegetable – there's just 6 calories in a portion!
- Enjoy peanut butter on celery stalks for a crunchy snack
- Use celery leaves in salads.
- Next time you are making fresh squeezed carrot juice give it a unique taste dimension by adding some celery to it.
- Add celery leaves and sliced celery stalks to soups, stews, casseroles, and healthy stir fries.
- Don't forget that wonderful combo of celery, apple and walnut in Waldorf salad.
