Two months after her fiancé's mysterious, highly publicized death, Angie Ochoa is still awaiting answers — and remaining hopeful that she'll soon receive some closure.
"It's still something we think about every day," Ochoa, the fiancée of Border Patrol Agent Rogelio "Roger" Martinez, told the Daily News. "We're kind of just hoping for the truth to come out, and to put this to rest."
Martinez died on Nov. 18 after receiving an ill-fated call to inspect activity near the border in Van Horn, Texas, during which another agent, Stephen Garland, was seriously injured. Martinez's death was quickly politicized by President Trump and others to underscore the need for a massive border wall between the U.S. and Mexico, as varying theories emerged as to what exactly happened.
"All the speculation is unnecessary, especially if it's put out in public," said Gregory Vecchi, an assistant professor of criminal justice at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Mo. "I think all that just serves to complicate things and strings things out."
Few answers have emerged as to what in fact happened on Nov. 18, which reports indicate was an overcast night without much light. Customs and Border Protection referred inquiries to the FBI's El Paso branch, which declined to discuss any new developments.
"Two months with the federal government is a split second," said Jeff Danik, a retired FBI agent who specialized in violent crime investigations. "Everything takes them forever."
Facts about the case became muddled nearly from the get-go. Martinez and Garland were discovered around 11:30 p.m. in a culvert as deep as 14 feet with head trauma. Garland, who'd arrived to back up Martinez, radioed for help and reportedly can't remember anything from that night.
They were rushed to area hospitals, where Martinez died.
President Trump tweeted within hours of his death that Martinez was "killed." "We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!" he wrote.
Sen. Ted Cruz said the incident was a "stark reminder of the ongoing threat that an unsecure border poses to the safety of our communities and those charged with defending them."
The National Border Patrol Council, the union representing agents, almost immediately said the officials were ambushed by rock-wielding immigrants crossing a heavily trafficked part of the border.
"These disgusting acts and complete disregard for human life need to stop immediately," union chief Brandon Judd said in a statement after Martinez's death. "Family members of slain Agent Martinez will never get to see him come home again all because we have failed to secure our borders from such criminals."
A union spokesman didn't return multiple requests for comment, and a spokesman for Cruz declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
An FBI agent at the time said investigators were looking at the possibility of an assault, but all options were on the table. Yet a few days later, Culberson County Sheriff Oscar Carrillo suggested the officers may have been struck by a passing truck on the highway — knocking them into the culvert.
"If this was an assault, believe me, as sheriff, I'd be the first one out there emphasizing safety in our community and with our deputies, pairing them up," Carrillo told the Dallas Morning News in late November. "But from what I know and see, that was not the case here."
Ochoa, Martinez's fiancée, doesn't believe that theory.
"I can tell you that I'm convinced that he didn't fall. That it wasn't an accident," she told the News this week. "It's just a matter of finding out who did it."
One of the latest updates came in early December, when investigators were looking for two brothers crossing the border who allegedly admitted to attacking the agents with rocks, according to court documents obtained by the Dallas Morning News.
The political rhetoric may have perhaps added months to the probe, said Vecchi, who worked as a federal agent at four agencies over 29 years. Investigators have to look at anything said in public, including politically driven statements, to vet all theories, he explained.

"It leads to a whole bunch of rumors. Unfortunately that sometimes clouds the investigation," he said, adding investigators will go "radio silent" to the public during that time. "The bureau still has got to talk to them, and still get to the bottom of whether that is true or not."
A Houston Chronicle editorial condemned the political speak after the incident.
"Texans who live along the border complain that fear-mongering politicians recklessly vilify their communities by characterizing them as hotbeds of violence and crime," the newspaper wrote on Dec. 27. "The knee-jerk supposition that these two agents were attacked does a disservice to people living in relatively peaceful border areas."
Ochoa, who declined to discuss the incident at length, said she's hopeful investigators don't determine it was an accident, believing Martinez was attacked and fearing the results may be covered up.
"Roger was definitely one of the few good apples that they had," she said. "I'm not sure that that had anything to do with it. I hope I'm wrong."

Poor Digimon. No matter how much the original game resembled Tamagotchi more than anything else, or how the cartoon often took a way darker turn than anything Ash Ketchum ever got into, it will always be seen as a poor man's Pokémon. At least to Western audiences. Back and its home country of Japan, and even moreso in China, Digimon thrives as a franchise on its own merits. It even has its own mobile game that is nothing like Pokémon GO.
In order to emphasize just how much Digimon Encounters is totally not Pokémon GO, Bandai Namco released a live-action Chinese trailer for the recently-released game.
The big draw is seeing the Digimon rendered in the real world alongside humans. They do a pretty good job even though they probably weren't working with the budget of something like Detective Pikachu. Although unlike Detective Pikachu, which went for a controversially realistic set of scaled and furry beats, the Digimon Encounters ad keeps a somewhat artificial feel to the creatures. Which totally fits considering they are digital monsters.
Sadly, the ad also mirrors a lot of what we saw in Pokémon GO trailers. There's the wonder of seeing these fictional monsters pop up in real life. The girl on the bench looks on excitedly as her Digi-egg hatches, in a very similar manner to the way eggs hatch in Pokémon GO. Then everyone gathers together with their monster friends just as an enemy appears. You know, the same way a crowd formed to battle Mewtwo in Pokémon GO's first trailer?
It's not until the last fifteen seconds or so that the ad shows the truly unique features of Digimon Enounters. Small bits of gameplay feature a tamer running around the digital landscape with their partner monster, as well as what looks to be turn-based battles that allow the player to use three Digimon simultaneously.
It's unfortunate that this ad doesn't do more to sell the unique features of Digimon. This game and particular, and the franchise as a whole, really hit some of those sweet spots Pokémon misses. How I would love more strategic turn-based battles instead of the tap-fest Pokémon GO offers. Yes Pokémon GO's PvP is a step in the right direction, but Digimon Encounter's battle system already looks more complex and the game is barely a month old.
Also, Digimon Encounters is only available in China. So it looks like Digimon won't be shedding its status of diet Pokémon in the West anytime soon.

When people want to work with you, sometimes they'll try to get you to do things outside your pay grade.
I take it as a compliment but am quick to deflect. I've been asked to design rack cards, be an event planner, co-create an app, start a real estate related business, and more.
Contrary to what some believe, I have said 'no' to a lot of things.
The upside to saying no to things outside my skill-set (besides my own personal sanity) is getting to meet and work with people who ARE good at those things.
Problem: Several people asked me for help with flyers. It is tangentially related to online marketing because a lot of people share flyers they've created on social media and their websites. I bookmarked it in my brain that this was of interest and let it sit there for awhile.
Now I'll 'design' my own stuff (note the air quotes) but print design is NOT my thing and probably never will be. I have a couple print designers I like working with, one who is in the process of getting her business established. (Jillybean Designs did the card designs I'll talk about in an upcoming story.)
Around the same time, one of my friends, who is a published author, approached me about sending her copyediting work. She likes helping out locally and figured I would know people.
Solution: Somehow, all these things went together in my brain in a coherent way. We decided that Jill (designer), Carrie (copywriter/editor) and I (marketer) would do a 'Make Awesome Flyers' workshop together. I made a online registration form on the Anchorspace website (we charged $35 for the two hour workshop), we promoted it to our people, and we split the proceeds three ways.
We really enjoyed doing it and are thinking of taking the show on the road to chambers of commerce, downtown areas, and other business groups. Plus I learned a lot from Jill and Carrie while they were giving their presentations.
Values demonstrated: collaboration, willingness to learn, education, community service, connecting, problem solving
How this story could be better:
More pictures. So during events, I always mean to take pictures but then I'm so busy making coffee and being in the moment that I forget. If you have an event, just have one designated picture taker, even if you have to pay them. In this blog post is the one picture I managed to take.
More video. Carrie Jones, who is a friend who happens to be a New York Times bestselling author, is a really engaging speaker. I should have gotten her on video talking about typos with a passion that was awesome to witness.

shazam! i'm reading ring lardner again and this time it really crystallizes for me why i like him so much. it's this voice that always puts me in that barber chair, or pulls up a stool beside me at the bar, this simple and persuasive voice of a master raconteur. i have a serious penchant for this anecdotal tone, this folksy style, reminiscent of o. henry, promoted by fitzgerald, admired and emulated by my favourite salinger. the subtle yet insistent vernacular sits me down every time and i am fully acclimatized. it's simple straight forward finely-tuned storytelling and i admire the hell out of it.
Just ten stories are found in these pages, including the often and justly anthologized well-known lardner stories like the eponymous "haircut", "i can't breathe", "a day with conrad green", "the love nest" and "the golden honeymoon". there is a mix of slice of life and the sporting life -- before fitzgerald championed his fiction, lardner was primarily known a sportswriter who loved baseball, and this passion is reflected in the inclusion of "alibi ike" and "horseshoes".
in revisiting these stories, i find "i can't breathe" still so knowing -- it is the blue print of the empty-headed love struck teen. reprint this puppy in a teen magazine today and i know they'd relate even if it was first published in 1925. along these lines, the notions of a perfect marriage, and love are challenged in "the love nest" in a way that would ring a bell for anyone familiar with those real plastic housewives of greedywood county.
that said, there are a few times where it's clear lardner's stories are relics of their time -- there are off-the-cuff racist remarks that reflect the age, and then there's this joke in alibi ike, about his family living in the post office which always makes me wish for an annotated edition, as i don't get the joke any more than ike does. for those that wonder how i can abide lardner given my usual aversion to satire, all i can say is that he writes the bathos and pathos of the lives he describes in a way that charms me, and they are married perfectly within his satirical world view. i love lardner; i only wish i had more of his stories on hand.
doing literary detective diligence on youtube, i found a clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M5opT... of groucho marx and truman capote on the dick cavett show where they briefly discuss lardner as a writer. groucho suggests him as a great comic writer and capote disagrees saying what lardner writes is not humour at all. he also says that groucho is wrong when he relays the story that lardner wrote only when drunk -- capote argues one can't write drunk at all, only re-write. then more weird stuff happens, including groucho rambling about his accountant and eventually proposing marriage to capote.
i also found this article about the friendship of fitzgerald and lardner which really needed a proofread, but is nonetheless enlightening.

New England may be associated more with summer stock theatre than the silver screen, but it didn't take much to find 6 Hollywood stars buried in 6 New England states.
Plenty of films have been shot in the region, many of them classics. That's not why our stars were laid to rest here. Each had a profound attachment to the place. Some were born and raised here, others fell in love with the mountains or seashore.
Here, then, are 6 Hollywood stars buried in New England.
Katharine Hepburn
The Academy Award winning actress was born in Hartford, Conn., into a privileged and liberal family. Her mother, Katharine Houghton Hepburn, was a women's rights activists and brought her daughter to protests and demonstrations.
In 1928, she graduated from Bryn Mawr College, where she got interested in the theater. After graduation she struggled on stage, including a summer in Ivoryton, Conn., at the Ivoryton Playhouse. Her breakthrough role came in The Warrior's Husband, which led to her first film, Bill of Divorcement, directed by George Cukor.
She appeared in 10 more Cukor films, including such classics as Holiday, The Philadelphia Story, Adam's Rib and Pat and Mike. In the last two films, she starred with her secret lover of 26 years, Spencer Tracy.
She won an Oscar for Best Actress in Morning Glory, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Lion in Winter and On Golden Pond.
Hepburn always kept close ties to Connecticut, frequently visiting her family's summer home in the Fenwick section of Old Saybrook. When the 1938 hurricane washed the house away, she dug the family silver out of the sand and rebuilt it. She used a set of building blocks from FAO Schwartz to design the new house.
In 1965 she narrated a documentary about pollution of the Connecticut River, called The Long Tidal River.
She spent her last years at the Fenwick home, taking a daily swim regardless of the weather.
In 2003, Hepburn died at her Fenwick home at the age of 96. She was buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery, designed by Jacob Weidenmann, who also designed Bushnell Park. A simple gravestone reads 'Katharine Houghton Hepburn, 1907=2003.'
Rudy Vallee
His parents named him Hubert Prior Vallee when he was born on July 28, 1901 in Island Pond, Vt. He kept the Vallee, but swapped out Hubert to become Rudy, the name of a popular saxophone player.
Rudy Vallee was raised in Westbrook, where his father worked as a pharmacist. After an aborted attempt to enlist in the Navy during World War I – he was sent home because he was only 15 – Vallee went on to college at the University of Maine and then transferred to Yale.
He signed a recording contract in 1928, and his career took him from a crooning teen idol in the 1920s to a character actor on a campy television series in the 1960s. His appeal as he mastered every medium. Radio, television, recording and movies, where he launched his career with Vagabond Lover in 1929.
He claimed to have slept with more than 145 women, and he married four of them. He was a tyrant to work with, starting fistfights with people he didn't like. Few who worked for him could stand him, and his friendships in the entertainment business were rare.
In 1961, he finally took his talents to Broadway. He conquered the Great White Way in the hit musical, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and he played Lord Marmaduke Ffogg in the show Batman.
A bit of Vallee always remained in Maine. Though he lived in California, he maintained a summer home at Kezar Lake. And the Maine University fight song, the Stein Song, is one of his original compositions.
Rudy Vallee is buried in Saint Hyacinth Catholic Cemetery in Westbrook, Maine. His gravestone was stolen, but his family replaced it.
John Belushi
In 1974, John Belushi and Judith Jacklin, his high-school sweetheart from suburban Chicago, visited Martha's Vineyard for the first time. They were in their early 20s. He was acting in National Lampoon's off-Broadway revue Lemmings in New York. He and Judith drove up to New England for a vacation.
They fell in love with Martha's Vineyard. One year after that first visit, he rocketed to fame on NBC's Saturday Night Live. His wild comic characters included Bluto Blutarski, in "Animal House," Blues Brother Joliet Jake Blues, Samurai Futaba, Pete, the counter guy at the Olympia Café ('Cheezborger, Cheezborger'), Joe Cocker and the Killer Bee.
In the summers of 1977 and 1978, the Belushis rented houses on the Vineyard. Then they bought a house in Chilmark from former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara. "This is where I like being me," John Belushi once said.
He died of a drug overdose in Los Angeles in 1982 at the age of 33. He was buried in Abel's Hill Cemetery on the Vineyard. He wanted a Viking funeral but his mother wouldn't allow it.
His gravestone reads, "I may be gone, but Rock and Roll lives on." After his fans trashed the gravesite, Judith asked that his body be moved to an unmarked grave some distance from the tombstone. It was.
Claude Rains
Claude Rains, one of the great character actors of Hollywood's golden age, was laid to rest next to the last of his six wives, Rosemary Clark Schrode.
They are buried in Red Hill Cemetery in Moultonborough, a small town on the north shore of Lake Winnipesaukee.
He was born in London, England, in 1889, the son of a stage actor. He first appeared on stage at age 11, and continued his acting career in New York in 1913.
Eventually he made his way to Hollywood. He was nominated four times for an Academy Award, but never won. He played the title role in The Invisible Man, the corrupt police chief in Casablanca, a spy in Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious. He failed his screen test, though, for Katharine Hepburn's first film, Bill of Divorcement.
Claude Rains spent his last years in a country house in Sandwich, N.H., a big white place with columns in front. He was introduced to the area when he and his fourth wife brought their daughter to summer camp in New Hampshire.
Rains already had a house in Pennsylvania, but after regular visits to friends at Squam Lake he bought the Sandwich house in 1963. Rosemary died soon after. Rains died of an an abdominal hemorrhage in Laconia on 30 May 1967, aged 77. He designed his own tombstone, which reads, ""All things once are things forever, Soul, once living, lives forever."
Anthony Quinn
Anthony Quinn was born in 1915 in Mexico and grew up in East Los Angeles. He fathered 13 children and starred in 100 feature films, including the Bedouin leader in Lawrence of Arabia in 1962 and the title role in the 1964 film Zorba the Greek.
He won two Oscars, one for his performance the 1952 film Viva Zapata! and another for the 1956 drama Lust for Life. He was nominated for two more, Wild is the Wind and Alex Zorbas.
Quinn fathered 13 children and lived around the world, but spent his last years in Bristol, R.I. He bought a 10-acre compound on Poppasquash Neck with views of Narragansett and Mt. Hope Bays. He and his family lived on the estate from 1995 until 2001.
He explained in an interview with Larry King why he moved to Rhode Island: "I went up there because -- in New York, it was very difficult for me to live, and New York is a very competitive town, and I got tired of competition."
He died in 2001 of throat cancer. His funeral service was held at the First Baptist Church in America in Providence. His widow asked the Town of Bristol for permission to bury him on his property. Her wish was granted.
Charles Bronson
Charles Bronson was born Charles Dennis Buchinsky in 1921 in Pennsylvania coal country north of Johnstown. He was the 11th of 15 children in a family of Lithuanian coal miners.
He followed his family into the mines until World War II, when he enlisted in the Army Air Force. He served as a tail gunner on B-29 bombers in the Pacific. He flew 25 missions, and was wounded in action. He went to art school on the GI Bill in Philadelphia. He decided he wanted to act after working as a set designer, and moved to Pasadena, Calif. He appeared in bit parts as a tough guy, gangster or Indian, until his breakthrough film, The Magnificent Seven. He appeared in The Great Escape and The Dirty Dozen, next to Elvis Presley in Kid Galahad and in television roles. His most famous film was Death Wish in 1974.
Charles Bronson starred in 14 films with his second wife, Jill Ireland, who died of breast cancer in 1990. They had seven children, who traveled with them to film locations. The family also vacationed at their colonial farmhouse in West Windsor, Vt., called Zuleika Farm. Ireland raised horses there and trained them for their daughter, Zuleika.
Bronson was married to Kim Weeks from 1998 to his death from Alzheimer's and pneumonia in 2003. He is buried in Brownsville Cemetery in West Windsor.
Engraved on his tombstone is the poem Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye.

A business consultant in Switzerland, Hayek's firm was asked by the nation's banks in the early 1980s to help liquidate two bankrupt Swiss wristwatch manufacturers, which had collapsed thanks to cheap digital timepieces from Asia. Hayek was optimistic about the ability of Swiss firms to compete, if only they would offer low-cost alternatives in addition to pricey top-of-the-line watches. He joined the two companies together into a conglomerate called "SMH Swiss Corporation for Microelectronics and Watchmaking Industries Ltd." and bought a controlling share (and became CEO). SMH's new cheaper offering — called "Swatch" for "Swiss Watch" — was a hit, and rescued the Swiss watchmaking industry, including well-known brands like Omega, Longines, Hamilton, and others, which are now owned by Swatch. (The company was renamed "The Swatch Group Ltd." in 1998.) Hayek also played a key role in developing the Smart Car: "smart" actually stands for "Swatch Mercedes ART" and part of the idea was to use the Swatch-derived concept of interchangeable body panels. He died June 28 from heart failure at 82.

WashburnCollective is taking a short break
valeriecarol63 on Dec 25, 20185 out of 5 stars
Jill was a pleasure to work with! My account had my old address and she worked with me to get me the item by Christmas.
The necklace I custom ordered for my friend who had published her book this year, is well-done and gorgeous! My friend's niece had created the image on the book cover. And, this image Jill made into a lovely work of art. She also helped me choose the charm to put with the pendant.
My friend loved it all! And, we got it by Christmas!! I had a stellar experience with Washburn Collective. You will love working with Jill!
Jenna Burgardt on Jul 8, 20185 out of 5 stars

Thank you very much. Highly recommended!
About WashburnCollective
Because I really enjoy making pretty things.
I was born and raised outside of Spokane, Wa on the beautiful hillside of Greenbluff. As the middle child of a big family, I'd find my quiet "me" time by hiking over to the stream to draw and create. I've always enjoyed opportunities to make things a little more lovely by paying attention to the details. The raw elements of nature, the fresh floral of a friend's dress, the words on a poster that change how I see a situation - inspiration is everywhere!
My mother-in-law introduced me to making glass pendant necklaces, and I loved how the image behind the glass can tell a story, inspire, or just be a little piece of lovely around your neck. I'm now a mom to 3 littles living in Idaho, and jewelry making and selling on Etsy has been a fun adventure. It's reignited my childhood love for creating pretty little things, which I can share with you!
I hope you find something you enjoy in my shop, and if not, let me know what I can make just for you!

A farmer faces a conundrum - two nearby fields with what appear to be similar soil are growing the same crop. But one crop has far more yields than the other. What gives?
In the past, this might have involved extensive testing, weeks of rotating different crops and any number of other solutions to try, costing tons of hours and money. Today, the solution could be as simple as taking two soil samples and sending them in for a series of tests for potential pathogens in the soil.
That's the vision of Trace Genomics, an agricultural startup which has raised $4 million for its new service, which uses genetic sequencing to identify pathogens found in soil. That information can give farmers insights as to what crops and techniques are best to use in a given field.
Starting today, growers will be able to go to their website and order a kit for their soil. At first the soil tests will be limited to lettuce and strawberry fields, but the company aims to expand its tests to more crops over the next few months.
Trace Genomics was founded by Dr. Diane Wu and Dr. Poornima Parameswaran. The two first met at graduate school at Stanford, where both worked in the lab of Dr. Andrew Fire, a Nobel Prize-winning geneticist. Wu's focus there was on the computational aspects of biology while Parameswaran was focused on the molecular biology.
After obtaining their Ph.D's, Wu went on to Palantir where she worked on machine learning, then to MetaMind, where she worked as a data scientist before that company's acquisition by Salesforce. Parameswaran spent her time at Berkeley as a postdoctoral fellow, studying the evolution of infectious diseases.
The two founded Trace Genomics in June 2015, and have spent that time working with several pilot customers to refine their techniques and provide insights for farmers.
"Our vision is to deliver insights from microbiome test," Parameswaran told me. "We want to deliver insights from the test to enable actionable interventions to our customers. Agriculture as a field is data rich."
The way it works is pretty simple to describe (though tough to implement). The company's technology extracts DNA samples from the soil, which is then sequenced using sequencers manufactured by Illumina. (Illumina is also an investor in Trace.) The sequences are then analyzed in the cloud using machine learning, and the results are turned back around in about 2-3 weeks.
In a time where new startups featuring DNA sequencing are coming under fire, making sure the results were accurate was a priority for the startup duo.
"We used a number of different aspects for validation," Wu told me. "Working with local growers. Testing soil throughout the Valley and other sites throughout United States. Validating pathogens with local growers. We've also been doing PCRs (a DNA extraction technique) at other labs. We're making sure we can validate known diseases and quantitate what we're detecting."
Because of the time it takes to ensure that accuracy, the company will be releasing new test kits in stages. Their immediate next step is to add new panels for diseases and pathogens that impact more and more crops. Next they'll be doing more data mining to look for beneficial microbes in the soil, which can improve crop growth and yield. The company will also be working to develop context - allowing farmers to compare their data to others nearby, so they can have a better idea about their crops' relative performance.
But even with about a year under their belt, the company's customers have already been making use of the data that Trace Genomics has uncovered.
"What our pilot customers have done is evaluate techniques they've been using and see what's changing the presence of diseases in soil," Wu said. "They've found some techniques are better at suppressing disease than others, which in turn helps develop techniques that naturally improve yields."

The core of the matter.
No more messing with needle nose pliers or whatever clever contraption you've MacGyvered to remove your valve stems. The Stans NoTubes Valve Core Remover makes it easy to unscrew Schrader or removable Presta valves with its slim CNC-alloy design that fits easily between spokes. Both the Presta and Schrader ends of the tool are knurled to provide grip during use. Anodized red finish.
This is a very handy tool if you do your own tubeless set-ups and maintenance. I've used the small plastic presta core tools and this works way better. Large enough to get a grip on yet small enough to carry easily.
Super simple to use and does the shop effectively. This is a must for any riders going tubeless.
Great tool. Surprised to also find out it works on multiple types of valves.
Not much to say, but this is an indispensable took if you're going tubeless

Normally when we think of precious metals like gold or silver we are thinking about things like their use in jewelry or currency. They are valuable in other ways too, including uses in the manufacturing of electronics. If you want to stockpile items for trade, precious metals are time tested items of value.
Coin Melt Values
It's a common misconception that the US dollar is backed by gold (though that's a topic for another day). Even our coins are now made with cheaper materials than they used to be. The good news is many of the older coins made with more valuable metals are still in circulation. You can educate yourself on the coins with the best "melt value" to collect and set those aside when you encounter them. Going through change is a great task to do with kids or while chilling in front of the tv.
Keep in mind that even though we use the term "melt value" it does not mean that you'll be melting these as you find them. It just means that the coins are inherently more valuable because of what they contain and could be used for bartering in emergency scenarios. A good listing of melt values can be found here or here.
The following is a list of fairly modern United States coins which still have melt values above their face value:
- Pre-1982 Pennies [88-95% copper; only moderately more valuable]
- 1942-1945 Nickels (Silver Wartime) [35% silver]
- Pre-1965 Dimes [89-90% silver]
- Pre-1965 Quarters [89-90% silver]
- Pre-1971 Half Dollars [89-90% silver]
Collecting Bullion
Then there is bullion: Solid metal shaped like bars or coins, but valued by weight rather than being part of a country's official currency. It's a straightforward means of collecting precious metals and knowing exactly how much you have (rather than trying to calculate the percentage of a certain metal in each coin). You can buy gold which is a compact way of holding something of high value or you can get metals like silver or copper which are cheaper and may be easier to use in the event you need to use them for trade. To go a step further for ease of trade you can buy these in fractional form, meaning in amounts less than one ounce in weight each.
Bullion is priced according to the weight ("spot price" times the weight) and then you add the "price over spot" which is essentially where companies are able to make their profit and may be higher for collectors items or bullion that's more decorative.
For example, if the current value (spot price) of an ounce of silver is $15 and I want to buy 20 half ounce rounds which cost $1 over spot, they will cost me:
$15 x 0.5 + $1 = $8.50 per round
$8.50 each x 20 rounds = $170 total cost
While their value may vary over time, it's highly unlikely they will become completely worthless (as opposed to stocks, crypto, etc which are more volatile). They also don't have a max shelf life (like storing food for trade) and would be fairly easy to resell in future if you found yourself suddenly in need of funds. As long as you buy the physical bullion and have it shipped to you then you will be in full possession of your investment and not be at the mercy of hackers, fraud, or similar crises. I typically purchase from Apmex although there are other sources out there.
Protecting Your Investment
As a side note, check with your homeowner's or renter's insurance policies if you decide to accumulate sizable amounts of precious metals. Most policies have a maximum they'll pay out for cash or precious metals around $500 and there may be inexpensive riders (add-ons for your insurance policy) which will increase the covered value. After all, prepping is for whatever life throws at us and not just a zombie apocalypse. There are similar maximums for all sorts of personal possessions on these policies (a max for electronics, a max for jewelry, a max for firearms, etc) and its always smart to know the fine print on what your policy would actually cover.

[For new developments, read about what we now know on the Wednesday after the attacks.]
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the coordinated attacks by suicide bombers on churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Sunday that killed more than 350 people and wounded about 500.
The victims came from more than a dozen countries, and included worshipers at Easter services. The first mass funerals were held on Tuesday outside one of the devastated churches, in western Sri Lanka. Many of the coffins bore the remains of children.
[Grief and anger as the victims are buried.]
The authorities in Sri Lanka said the attack had been carried out by a local group, National Thowheeth Jama'ath, with help from international militants and possibly another local militant group, Jammiyathul Millathu Ibrahim.
What we know about the attacks
• Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said "foreign involvement" was likely and that some of the attackers had traveled abroad recently. "Some of the evidence," Mr. Wickremesinghe said, pointed to links with the Islamic State, although the militant group has presented little to back up its claim of responsibility.
• The Sri Lankan government acknowledged that more than 10 days before the attacks, a foreign intelligence agency gave the country's security officials a detailed warning of a possible threat to churches by National Thowheeth Jama'ath.
• In his first national address since the attacks, President Maithripala Sirisena acknowledged "lapses" and promised major changes in the country's security apparatus. A senior presidential adviser said the secretary to the Ministry of Defense and the inspector general of the police were "earmarked for dismissal."
• The archbishop of Colombo joined elected officials and others in criticizing the government for the security failures.
• Investigators are looking into the possibility that the bombings were carried out as retribution for attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March, the authorities said, although they did not elaborate or cite evidence to support that assessment.
• The government said Wednesday that it had arrested more than 50 people in connection with the attacks, all of them Sri Lankans. The security services had arrested 24 of the suspects within hours of the bombings, suggesting the government knew where key members of Thowheeth Jama'ath could be found.
• A forensic analysis found that most of the attacks had been carried out by lone bombers, but that two men had attacked the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo.
• The leader of National Thowheeth Jama'ath, Mohammed Zaharan, is a known extremist who has spent time in both India and Sri Lanka, and who in recent years has preached hateful messages online.
What we know about who was killed and where
• The death toll rose to at least 359. Unicef, the United Nations' children agency, said at least 45 of those killed were children.
• The attacks took place at three churches and three hotels on Easter morning in three separate cities across the island. Two more explosions happened in the afternoon in and around Colombo, one at a small guesthouse and the other at what was the suspects' apparent safe house. Three officers searching for the attackers were killed in that blast.
• The deadliest explosion was at St. Sebastian's Church in Negombo, about 20 miles north of Colombo, where more than 100 were killed.
• At least 28 people were killed at the Zion Church in Batticaloa, on the other side of the island on its eastern coast. St. Anthony's Shrine, a Roman Catholic church in Colombo, was also attacked with an unknown number of dead. Witnesses described "a river of blood" there.
• In addition to the Shangri-La, the Cinnamon Grand and the Kingsbury hotels, also in Colombo, were attacked.
• People from at least a dozen foreign countries were killed, along with many Sri Lankans. Several of the victims were Americans, the authorities said. Others were Australian, British, Chinese, Dutch, Indian, Portuguese, Japanese and Turkish citizens, according to officials and news reports.
What we don't know about the attacks
• The fate of Mr. Zaharan, the leader of National Thowheeth Jama'ath. He was suspected of being one of the suicide bombers, the prime minister said. "They have to confirm it," Mr. Wickremesinghe added.
• How two small, obscure groups — one of which was previously best known for desecrating Buddhist statues — managed to pull off sophisticated, coordinated attacks.
• The extent to which the Islamic State or other international terrorist networks may have helped with the attacks.
• The names of the suicide bombers and the more than 50 people being held in connection with the attacks.
• Why the authorities failed to take substantial steps to try to prevent an attack after receiving reports of an imminent threat.
• What effect the failure to stop the attacks will have on Sri Lanka's government. The president and the prime minister were already engaged in a bitter feud.

By Well Groomed
Posted in Blue, Pastel, Pink, W-G Grooms
Guys are programmed to avoid any clothing, color, or even cocktail that can be interpreted as soft or feminine. So, it's rare that a groom embraces a pink and pale blue wedding palette. Rather than taking the easy way out and just adding a pink tie to a black suit, Luke styled a look that mixed a pink striped tie, light blue pants, a khaki vest, and dance shoes. Photog Kelly Tesar perfectly captured his pastel look.
from Luke (the groom): When it comes to the choices you make you have to keep an open mind. When I first started putting ideas together for myself and my groomsmen, I had an idea in mind of an all-khaki outfit with a vest and pants. Then I started looking around and found these fantastic blue pants from J. Crew that really made the outfit and colors pop. My advice would be have an idea of what you want to start with and then play around with it. You never know what you'll like and you may surprise yourself when it comes down to your final decision.
Thanks for the tips, Luke! You had a lot of great points for guys considering a custom look.

BikeNYC 2020 Report
Bicycling is New York City's fastest growing mode of
transportation. Today, three-quarters of a million people
regularly ride a bicycle in New York City, and that number is
growing faster than the economy, or the population. At the
start of his first term, Mayor Bill de Blasio set a goal for 2020: Double the
number of New Yorkers who regularly ride a bicycle.
To understand this explosive growth, outline how Mayor de Blasio can meet
his goal of 1.5 million bicycling New Yorkers, and explain what the City
of the New York must do to protect and nurture this growing population,
Transportation Alternatives conducted a series of intensive focus groups,
and interviewed thousands of New Yorkers. The result is BikeNYC 2020:
What New York Needs to be a World-Class Bicycling City – a report on the
state of bicycling, and its future.

Advice for Kildare parents - Becoming the parent you wish that you had yourself
Ask the Doc - Dr Eddie gives his thoughts
File photo
This week, we have a letter from one of our readers. They write, as follows:
Hi, Dr Eddie.
I have a history of what you could label a dysfunctional family in the past. I have parents who had a very rocky marriage which ended in a messy divorce that went through the courts.
My childhood was characterised by shouting and fear and quite authoritative parenting. I've struggled with self-esteem, social anxiety and depression most of my adult life.
However, I've always wanted to cut the cycle of the past and learn to be an assertive, loving parent, so to be a good parent to my child.
I have tried to deal with my own issues along the way, with some help.
I am on antidepressants at a low dose. I hate taking meds though, and for many years I tried doing without.
I have done quite a bit of counselling and read many self-help books. I have done Cognitive Behavioural Therapy online and I'm a big fan of mindfulness.
I now feel I have more tools to help. It's about balance for me now, and with changing meds I have found I get a little help mentally and physically and have learned nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, yoga, relationship skills, and giving back to my community is just as important.
In the last few months I started some volunteer work in a charity second hand bookshop. I love reading and helping others and I'm finding doing a few hours each week gives me a happiness boost. I'm full time in the home otherwise.
I am a parent of a young teenager. I want to make sure I can do the best I can for her.
I would like advice getting the balance as parents between sensitive and authoritive parenting so we are more assertive.
Dr Eddie's response;
Wow, first of all I am impressed with the proactive way you have set about the tasks of keeping yourself well and your wishing to expand that to build a stronger relationship with your teenager.
In terms of your mental health, many times I have met people who take medications and don't feel good about that, yet when they come off them they regress.
I see medication as a life jacket in stormy water, and in your life at present you may just need this lifejacket. It's not a sign of weakness or anything like that.
Two words which I would say are helpful here are ' acceptance' and 'compassion'.
Accept that the meds are working for you, and convert that negative energy into acceptance. Also be self-compassionate and shift from the hate thinking to that of a person who is coping and thriving and seeking growth with many challenges.
Assertive Parenting
I once heard, when it came to teenagers, that they "fire you when they are 12 and rehire you when they are 20!"
I see the sentiment in that but don't buy it.
In terms of getting to assertive parenting, it is always a significant challenge and if we can get there 75% of the time, I think we are doing well.
Many households have blends of strictness; being firm and setting boundaries and sensitivity; and being available to the needs of our children/teenagers.
Too much strictness in adulthood leads to well-motivated but crushingly low self-esteem and too much sensitivity without strictness leads to poor motivation with poor behaviour.
Hence the sweet spot of assertiveness that balances between sensitivity and strictness.
When it comes to teenagers the challenge is to listen more than continually offer your own opinion.
Teenagers are fed up being told things by teachers and parents — hence the need to listen more and talk less.
Remember, the world and social media don't care for your children, not like you, so it's your real time/real world relationship that counts.
Coordinating in the house is important. It's not fair that one parent is always the strict one and the other gets to do the fun stuff. Sharing strictness is only fair.
As parents, this needs to be discussed in advance. In our house, I have to learn daily to be less strict and more sensitive to our two boys as they hurtle towards their teenage years.
This sharing and consistency needs to be discussed and planned and reviewed.
One Good Adult
In life and in psychological research, we talk about the importance of 'one good adult' in a young person's life.
This, no doubt, is you but it can also be a teacher, or a coach.
I think in families that we need a person who can influence the teenager during periods of high emotion.
Grandparents usually play this role brilliantly.
If they are not in a position to do so, someone who is a positive influence, be it an uncle, aunt or cousin, can take it on.
If they replicate the parental voice they will be rejected. If they are supportive and similar to a peer voice then they will be heard. Try to strategize and get one of these in your child's life, as they can be invaluable.

For decades, solar has been like the Rodney Dangerfeld of
renewable energy. Rarely has it received the respect it has
deserved. But by all accounts, 2013 was a watershed year in
terms of getting respect. In Q3 alone, 930 megawatts (MW) of
PV were installed in the United States — and in the last two
and a half years, total global PV capacity grew from 50 MW to
more than 100. Sure, 2013 saw its share of failures and disappointments. But according to some of the best and brightest
minds in the solar industry, the coming year may play itself out
as the dividing line between past and future.
According to clean energy expert Jigar Shah, one of the mostheavily underestimated solar markets in the world today isthe United States. "I think you're going to see extraordinarygrowth in the U.S. next year, through 2016," Shah confdentlystated. "Many are projecting somewhere in the neighborhoodof 7,000 to 8,000 MW in 2016. But that number could easily bedoubled to 14,000 MW in 2016 alone."Looking beyond 2014, Shah sees even further robust indus-try growth — one aided, not hindered, by the looming expi-ration of the federal investment tax credit (ITC). "Everybodyexpects the 30 percent tax credit to expire and to move to a 10
He explained that present-ly, approximately 40 percent of investment capital is
required to come from tax
equity. The remaining 60
percent can come from debt
or sponsor equity. Shah said
once the 30 percent tax credit drops to 10 percent, the
depreciation can be used by
the sponsor equity to shelter their own gains. "You
