We exist in a strange moment in time. Ideologues who revere and preach Communism sip on their Unicorn Frappuccinos in Starbucks and instant message their comrades via Facebook using their iPhones. Those who wish to live in a world created by the 'resistance' of neo-Marxism, with its foundations cemented in the fortune 500, would see tradition and spirituality torn asunder and replaced with a secular, monolithic hellhole where anti-establishment rhetoric is censored, and our daily lives are monitored.
If you have questioned how and where this train of thought emerged, look no further than Dr. Tomislav Sunic's Homo Americanus: Child of the Postmodern Age, published by Arktos. The book features essays from Sunic himself, evolutionary psychologist Dr Kevin MacDonald, and philosopher Alain De Benoist. MacDonald's book The Culture of Critique made waves exploring how Jews initiated and advanced a number of important intellectual and political movements during the 20th century. DeBenoist is the leading philosopher and voice of the French Nouvelle Droite a European school of political thought that emerged in France during the late 1960s. Suffice to say, Homo Americanus has guests of great pedigree!
Born in Croatia 1953, Tomislav Sunic is a prolific writer. A former professor of Political Science and translator, he has served in various diplomatic positions with the Croatian government. He achieved his undergraduate degree in French and English Language and Literature during the late 70s, where he was exposed to the radical ideas of the European New Right permeating out of France, guided by Alain De Benoist. Sunic has a pleasingly direct style, and has proven himself as an important voice and intellectual for the modern European New Right. He holds a doctorate in Political Science from the University of California and has authored publications such as Against Democracy and Equality (2011), and Titans Are in Town: A Novella and Accompanying Essays (2017). He currently resides in Zagreb, where he continues to work as a freelance writer, including as a contributor on political semiotics and the spirit of Communist totalitarianism to the French quarterly Catholica.
Sunic investigates Americanism, the patriotic values of the United States, as it has evolved from its Puritanical roots -via post-war Frankfurt School psychology- into a monolithic, bland consumerist culture obsessed with consuming, rights, and privileges. These are the characteristics of a new type of man Sunic names Homo Americanus. The Puritans sought to develop a promised land for all people by the people, without aristocracy or regality; a rejection of the Old World. As Benoist states in his postscript:
"They also wanted to create a new society that would regenerate mankind. They wanted to create a new promised land that would become the model of the universal republic. This bible-inspired theme, based on the idea of the 'chosen' America… a leitmotiv throughout American history."
The legacy of the Judeo-Christian Puritans that still lingers in modern day USA has resulted in the soft takeover of US politics and foreign policy by the Jewish lobby. This takeover can be identified in the obscurity of the Iraq war (2003) and the ongoing conflict In Syria. As Sunic states, the Puritans had a culture obsessed with a "Judaic rationalization of religious life"; Benoist reminds us "Governor John Cotton suggested the adoption of Hebrew as the official language for the former British colonies". This has precluded a revival and love for the original settlers' racial and national past, as Benoist mentions;
"The problem is not so much that Americans 'have no history, but rather that they do not wish to have one… the past is reminiscent of their European roots".
Those who were once European, born and descended, have now turned their back on Europe due to;
"[t]he massive influx of non-European immigrants as well as the persistence of the pseudo-Marxist and neo-liberal role models of ethnic diversity who still frame the discourse in American universities".
Today, American society is characterized by the quasi-dictatorship of secular 'empathy' and the market. The mere mention of 'wrongthink' has become taboo in public discourse, thus inhibiting open dialogue surrounding political, religious or other controversial issues. As a result of this hyper-politically correct culture, right-leaning intellectuals such as Sunic, McDonald, and Benoist are ridiculed and libeled as they present objective criticism. This type of censorship has played a central role in the creation of Homo Americanus; a man with shallow thoughts and desires with a false smile plastered on his face. Critics of this false idol is met with the cold shoulder at best. At worst, ideas that harm the Golden Calf of Homo Americanus is shut down and branded as anti-semitic, racist, and xenophobic, the character of the critic is assassinated, o the person of the critic is sentenced to prison time. Consider the sentences as a result of Holocaust denial, antisemitism, and xenophobia, meted out for the act of posing unanswerable questions.
This is where Sunic begins to draw similarities between Homo Americanus and his "twin brother" Homo Sovieticus, a man that emerged from the dissolution of the Communist bloc in eastern Europe and Russia.
Communism: a utopian make-believe that in reality could only function via a system of constant propaganda and censorship of anti-establishment rhetoric. What is worrisome about Homo Americanus, is that he refuses to recognize the lie of the Capitalist system which promises utopia as Communism did, but defines it differently - individual freedom. However, both capitalism and communism are tacitly designed to kill individualism. In communism this is achieved by removing all personal possessions and spirituality. A person's value depends on how much they can produce and contribute to the system. In capitalism, this is achieved via a monoculture of consumerism and guilt; it is secular in nature, and decadence & degeneracy are lauded.
Unbeknown to him, Homo Sovieticus was a slave to conformity. He abided by the stringent rules and regulations of the Soviet Union, and had no loyalty to his peers. He had his nationhood eradicated and subsequently became a citizen of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics exclusively. Similarly, in the Americanized West, we are told that nationhood and pride in our ethnic backgrounds are primitive and wrong. We are told that we are citizens of the world who live in an open society. We are told that diversity will make us stronger, despite rising racial tensions worldwide. Benoist expands on this further;
"Capitalism cannot transform the world into a vast market… unless the planet first becomes atomized and the world renounces all forms of symbolic imagination...for the logic of profit and continuous accumulation".
His point being the inherent necessity for capitalism to erase borders and remove all nations' history in order to create a one-world market rather than a world of nations. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Under Communism, a person was in serious trouble once he put the system or its executors into question. Recall the treatment of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Russian novelist, historian, and short story writer. He was an outspoken critic of the Soviet Union and Communism. He helped to raise global awareness of its Gulag forced labor camp system, and who, in 1945, accused of 'anti-Soviet propaganda' based on comments written in letters to a personal friend, was imprisoned for 9 years. The epic Gulag Archipelago was the result, a stark critique of Communist power, and the human soul itself. Though the modern gulag is digital rather than Siberian, those who question the authority of the American left, are exiled. Recall the deplatforming of Alex Jones and InfoWars. Though the implications are not as severe (yet) the more power the American left gains, the harder they will come down on dissidents. Just as did the Soviets.
There is a striking similarity between these two systems in attitude to education and intellectuals. Under Communism professors who miraculously escaped from the purges and continued to work were treated as low-caste. In a society like this, those who do not produce are useless as their material usefulness does not exist - a produce or perish mentality. Students were seen as potential dissidents to the communist regime, as professors might fill their minds with dangerous ideologies. Meanwhile, laborers would be in a fog to the state propaganda and despise the lazy students educating themselves on the backs of the taxpayers.
Under Capitalism, true professors are laughed at as lifetime academics who couldn't make it in the 'real world'; the butt of a joke. Why struggle against a politically compromised academia, when one could use your intellect to profit from it, or choose another career path entirely? The motives are different but the same principle is inherent in both systems - that which is not material is not worth respect. Such philosophy is detrimental to the soul and has crippling consequences for us as both material and spiritual beings.
The proletariat in the land-of-the-not-so-free buy into the state propaganda via news networks and social media, thus feeding the system that serves to only benefit the so-called elites. To paraphrase Sunic, the American system has succeeded in many facets of communism that the Soviets failed in - fooling the masses into feeding the system that wants to destroy them.
In short, Homo Americanus is an excellent exploration into the evolution of Americanism, from its Puritanical roots into the Global Superpower we know today. In this review, I have barely scratched the surface of the very many talking points of the eminent thinkers Sunic, McDonald and De Benoist.
Sunic explores many other facets of Americanism such as American foreign policy; how it polices the world and interferes in other countries' domestic politics in order to further its own interests, its techno-scientific obsession with progress, and America's important role in the future of all European peoples worldwide.
Required reading for all interesting in the Dissident Right and its enemies.

Nicolae Ionescu (1820 in Bradu, Neamț County – January 24, 1905 in Bradu) was a Romanian politician, jurist and publicist, brother of the agronomist Ion Ionescu de la Brad. He was leader of the Free and Independent Faction, serving several terms in Chamber and Senate, most often as a representative of Roman County, and was helped to establish several liberal coalitions in the 1860s and '70s. His career peaked just before the Romanian War of Independence, when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs in the cabinet of Ion Brătianu. Ionescu ended his career in politics with the National Liberal Party. A professor of law and a rector of Iași University, he was also one of the founding members of the Romanian Academy.

Mario Anzuoni/Reuters/SplashThe Academy of Country Music Awards is one of the best nights to watch some of your favorite country artists host, perform, and, of course, strut down the red carpet with serious style. And some of the ladies who walked the 2017 ACM Awards red carpet definitely did not disappoint.
If there's one theme for this year's carpet, it would be shimmer and shine! And, as the reigning queen of award-show looks, Carrie Underwood knows a thing or two about that. (After all, who can forget her various wardrobe changes at the 2016 CMAs -- each better than the last?!)
This time the American Idol alum stunned in this shear LaBourjoisie gown embellished with jeweled accents -- and check out that sparkling choker! She definitely takes the crown for best look of the night.

Similarly, Miranda Lambert is also no stranger to showing off in the fashion department.
The "The House That Built Me" singer, who took home the win for female vocalist of the year and album of the year, turned heads in this elegant white ensemble which featured gold flower patterns. Rounding out this look with a simple white clutch, Lambert slayed this carpet.
Nicole Kidman also stepped out with hubby Keith Urban and showed out all by herself in her colorful Alexander McQueen gown.
If you look closely, you'll see flowers, birds, and even dogs (oh my!) embroidered into this dress.

Singer Thomas Rhett's wife Lauren Akins lit up the carpet, as she's rocking the best accessory in the house in her golden gown -- a baby bump! She's practically glowing. And it's clear that the dad-to-be was beyond happy to be walking it out with her.
While many kept it classic with more neutral colors, Maren Morris ditched the safe route and graced us with this emerald green Michael Costello number.
Coupled with some sparkly accents, a plunging neckline, and a bold side slit, this is the definition of a standout look.
We love a glam carpet!

Why can't I reply to bulletin board messages directly using the email reply button?
The bulletin board was set up in this way so that we can screen messages and to prevent the distribution of viruses that can occur with an email-based system.
Why don't you send out bulletin board messages individually any more?
With the success of the website and growing membership, each message was taking several hours to be sent out and backlogs developed frequently. Some members also found the number of messages too much. The decision was taken to send out one e-mail digest message generally once a day.
I posted a message on the bulletin board but it has not appeared, why not?
Your message will not be displayed until it has been screened by Pharmaceutical Press staff; this will usually occur within 24h. Once it has been accepted, it will be displayed on the bulletin board and emailed in a digest to registered users. However, not all messages are approved; reasons for not posting include:
- the topic has come up before with no apparent attempt to search the bulletin board
- the information is accessible in the formulary section of the website with no apparent attempt to access this
- blanket requests with no apparent attempt to answer their own question, e.g. "I am doing a project on pain, please help"
- use of trade rather than generic/recognised international names (rINNs) for drugs or unfamiliar abbreviations
- personal messages.
At the discretion of Pharmaceutical Press staff, a posting may be allowed on the board, but will not be circulated.
I don't wish to receive the bulletin board messages, is there an alternative?
Yes, you can remove yourself from the email circulation list easily by changing your preferences (see 'How do I change registration details and preferences regarding bulletin board messages?' above). You can still view all bulletin board messages and replies by going to the bulletin board itself and browsing through the message titles, expanding where necessary to read all the replies to a particular topic.
Is there a way to suspend bulletin board email messages while on holiday?
Yes, you can remove yourself from the email circulation list and then rejoin easily by changing your preferences as above. Please note that because of the way messages are pre-approved and queued to be sent out, you may receive 1-2 messages after removing yourself from the list.
Why am I receiving duplicate email messages?
This may be because you have registered more than once. Either delete one registration from receiving emails or contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Although signed up for bulletin board digests and other messages, I am not receiving them, or have suddenly stopped receiving them. Why?
Your email service, IT department and Internet Service Provider (ISP) all work hard to protect you from spam, but this can sometimes mean that emails you actually want do not get through. If you are not getting the bulletin board digests (generally sent out several times a week, daily when busy) try the following:
Your email software
- add email@example.com and www.palliativedrugs.com to your safe sender list
- add email@example.com to your address book (Hotmail and gmail users)
Your anti-spam software
- add email@example.com and www.palliativedrugs.com to your safe sender list of your anti-spam software
Your IT department or ISP
If the above fails, your IT department or ISP may be blocking our e-mail.
- ask your IT department and ISP to allow emails to come through to you from email@example.com and from our IP address 22.214.171.124
This is called 'whitelisting'. If you aren't getting the email, many others could be missing out too, so it is well worth the effort.

I am so tired of political ads on television and political calls at home. I am glad that election day is finally here if for no other reason than I am ready for a break from the commercials and the calls.
I don't pay attention to the ads.
I hang up on the calls.
They both still annoy me.
I did read something in the paper yesterday that bothered me. A Republican leader stated that his two goals were "no compromise" after the election today, and to "win back the White House".
I would like to suggest a different goal.
Work together with other elected officials to find ways to achieve the common good.
I can dream can't I?

Winter is going to be here before we know it, so now is the time to prepare your home for winter! Here are 5 things to do to prepare your home for winter.
How to Prepare Your Home for Winter
~This is a collaboration post.
~We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler which can only mean one thing, fall is finally here! We don't want to think about it, but that means will be coming soon as well! This means harsher outdoor conditions and more time spent indoors. Naturally, we will be using more energy to heat our homes as well as use more electricity with the shorter days. Because we will be spending time in the house during the winter it is important to prepare your home for winter as best we can. Here are 5 things you can do to prepare your home for winter right now!
Secure the doors and windows
Since the air outside is much cooler than inside we want to make sure that we secure the doors and windows. If they are not secure there can be gaps in the door or window frames. This causes cool air to come into your home. If this happens you will spend a lot more on heating the home to combat the breeze coming through.
We also want to secure the doors and windows with good locks. With it being darker robbers are more likely to pray on houses that are empty before you come home from work.
Insulate the home
Another way to prepare your home for winter is by adding insulation. If you haven't already got insulation in your home, now is the ideal time to do it. When you add insulation to the home it acts as an effective barrier to ward off the cold weather outside and keep the heat inside. You can choose to insulate the walls, the floors, the ceilings, and even the roof. Insulating your home will make a big difference in the temperature of the house as well as your pocketbook this winter!
Redo the roof
Now is a great time to check on the roof. You want to make sure it is strong and secure with no leaks. If you have a small leak now it can turn into a big problem. Especially with the amount of rain and snow some of us get. By investing in roofing now it will save you a lot of money this winter. So, schedule an appointment today to ensure your home is ready for the winter.
Check your boiler health
Imagine the scene: it's a cold winter night and you are all in front of the TV watching a festive movie. Suddenly a storm starts to hit and the power goes out. On top of that, the boiler packs in and you are left with no hot water and no way to heat up the house. The worst thing that can happen to us in winter is issues with our boiler, and if it goes it can mean a few days of serious suffering without hot water for showers. Make sure you get a boiler check done now to ensure your boiler is healthy for the winter period.
Make it cozy
Winter is the perfect time to snuggle up with a good blanket and get cozy! So prepare your home for winter by buying some extra blankets, so hot chocolate and candles! Buy some thicker sheets and settle into a home that is warm and cozy!
There you have it! 5 things you can do to prepare your home for winter!

Kempinski has opened the Gran Hotel Manzana in Havana, claiming it as the first five-star luxury hotel in Cuba, writes Alexandra Marill.
The 246-room hotel is located in Old Havana, a Unesco World Heritage site also now classified as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
"Our property will not only be the first of its kind in this market, but we believe it sets a new standard for the entire Caribbean," said general manager Xavier Destribats. "We have been very strategic about the expansion of our brand and we are convinced that this is the right time and the right market for Kempinski in the Americas."
Kempinski Gran Hotel Manzana was built on top of the historically popular site of Manzana de Gomez. Constructed in 1890, the site now contains the first European-style shopping arcade in Cuba.
All rooms and suites have views of Old Havana and the hotel also has a rooftop infinity pool, Spa Albear by Resense with eight treatment rooms and a fitness room.
Its selection of dining options cover seven bars, lounges and restaurants, including a typically Cuban cigar lounge, a cocktail bar, a tapas cafe and a panoramic restaurant.
The hotel brings Kempinski's portfolio to 76 hotels in 31 countries.

The primary objective is to gain a predictable leapfrog of long-term power output of DSC through novel multifunctional nanomaterials and molecular architectures utilizing materials design, development and processing.
This can be split into the following key objectives:
I. Design and synthesis of innovative dye-sensitizers with unprecedented performance, property tunability and stability.
Confer highly efficient and spectrally selective light harvesting and supramolecular hole transport properties to the ruthenium sensitizers by appropriate molecular engineering of their ligands, increasing at the same time their stability grafting onto TiO2. Pursue ligand engineering to ensure a high open circuit potential in DSC. Increase the long-term stability of ruthenium sensitizers by replacing their thiocyanate ligands. Develop organic and metallorganic sensitizers endowed with very high molar extinction coefficients and tunable absorption from the visible into the near-IR regions. Evaluate series of homologous sensitizers in which a continuous variation of the oxidation potential allows to gauge the limiting factors for oxidized dye recombination by the electrolyte. Evaluate possible interactions between the dyes and electrolyte components to minimize recombination.
II. Explore new concepts of photon capture by quantum dots and thin-film inorganic materials.
Evaluate and determine the forecast benefits of quantum dot technology chemically bound to the mesoscopic architecture of the charge collecting oxide semiconductor. The purpose of the quantum dot-based antenna is to provide efficient capture of near IR light and efficient charge extraction, modulated by varying their size and shape. The materials as well as their molecular and mesoscopic architecture will be judiciously selected to yield maximal power generation. Evaluate the potential of extremely thin absorbers (ETA) based on inorganic materials, such as Sb2S3 and Bi2S3 metal-chalcogenides in innovative DSC configurations, including organic hole transporters for solid-state devices.
III. Provide means for enhanced and vectorial electron transport in the mesoscopic semiconductor through chemical control of the nanostructure, with incorporation of nanorod/nanotube morphologies.
IV. Improve the stability over traditionally employed electrolytes by investigating novel transition metal complexes as standalone redox mediators which are inexpensive, transparent and redox stable. Investigate novel redox mediators based on organic redox couples to induce stable and efficient charge separation and regeneration, as alternatives to existing hole-transporting materials, which are coloured (problems with filtering) while starting from existing organic redox couples we may more easily convert them into colourless materials. These novel electrolytes are also better compatible for ETA inorganic materials (e.g. Sb2S3).
V. Pursue the understanding of interfaces, charge separation, electron transport and recombination through intensive computational modeling and transient spectroscopic, photoelectrochemical, and electronic analytical techniques. Understand the processes affecting long term stability in DSC operation under different stress conditions so that the materials and structural research and development activities can be effectively directed.
VI. Develop microscopically fine structures to minimize reflection losses from the FTO coated glasses, by means of the moths eye surface layer, in which the refractive index vary gradually from unity to that of the bulk material, reducing by up to 10% the losses of non perpendicular incident light. Introduce self-cleaning super-hydrophobic coatings for increased DSC operational lifetime. Assess the effectiveness of both approaches in the DSC framework.
VII. Achieve commercially viable longevity
via intensive and directed lifetime testing analysis and enhancement of device size cells, while remaining compatible with large area device fabrication procedures. Develop large-area deposition techniques for metal oxide semiconductors and low temperature materials processing. Investigate cell degradation mechanisms in real-scale modules.

[This] is not a time for Emory to talk about what we 'need' during a campaign. Rather we should speak in terms of 'opportunity' to better serve.Johnnie Ray
FameRank: 4
"John Alvin "Johnnie" Ray" was an American singer, songwriter, and pianist. Extremely popular for most of the 1950s, Ray has been cited by critics as a major precursor of what would become rock and roll, for his jazz and blues-influenced music and his animated stage personality. Tony Bennett credits Ray as being the true father of rock and roll.
British Hit Singles & Albums noted that Ray was "a sensation in the 1950s, the heart-wrenching vocal delivery of 'Cry' ... influenced many acts including Elvis Presley/Elvis and was the prime target for teen hysteria in the pre-Presley days."If you enjoy these quotes, be sure to check out other famous musicians!

Dear Family and Friends
We are about to embark on the second half of our Down East Circle Route adventure. Saturday May 27th, Bob and Jan (from Wings, the 35' Nordhavn) drove from their home in Michigan to our home in Oakville. Then on Sunday, the four of us drove back to Brooklin, Maine to the Atlantic Boat Company where our boats have been stored for the past winter. Atlantic Boat Company moved our boats from their storage building out into the yard so we could have a few days to get them ready to launch. Our pre launch projects include:
- Installing an AIS (Automatic Identification System) allowing us to see information (boat name, length, boat type, radio call sign, boat speed & direction) on other boats / ships in our area and for them to see our boat information.
- Replacing zinc anodes on the hull, rudder and skeg
- Check battery voltages and re-connect them
- Check/change impeller on Cummins diesel
- Update software on Chart Plotter
- Check all thru hull fittings
- Check steering mechanism
- Fill and start up water system and check system for leaks
- Install optional posts on mast for GPS and Furuno Weather Station for improved performance
- Replace carpets in engine room
- Apply Rain-X to windows
- Apply wax to exterior stainless steel
Our loose plan for this summer involves:
- Cruise the coast of Maine for the month of June
- Then head south along the coasts of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut to New York City
- Then head north, up the Hudson River, through Lake Champlain, crossing into Quebec and on to Sorel on the St. Lawrence River
- Then up the St Lawrence to Montreal and up the Ottawa River to Ottawa
- Then down the Rideau Canal from Ottawa to Kingston and finally, through the Bay of Quinte to Trenton and up the Trent-Severn Waterway to Georgian Bay and our home port of Beacon Bay in Penetanguishene
This season, it will be just us aboard Tug'n and Bob and Jan aboard Wings making the trip back to the Great Lakes. Our friends Dave and Judy aboard Sir Tugley Blue have decided to spend the full 2017 season cruising the coast of Maine and hauling out again at Atlantic Boat Company next winter. Tentatively they will make the return trip to Lake Michigan in 2018.
BLOG Comments and Feedback: Last year, many of you tried to leave comments on our various blog postings but were unable to. Thankfully our friends Tim and Bice helped sort out this problem last fall and you are now able to leave comments on the blog. So, we look forward to hearing from you this summer with your comments and questions or to just say hello.
Some History of Maine: The history of the area now called Maine spans thousands of years. The earliest inhabitants called the Red Paint People (3,000 BC to about 1,000 BC) were a maritime group known for elaborate burials using red ochre. They were followed by the Susquehanna Culture, the first to use pottery. By the time the Europeans arrived in about 1525 the inhabitants of Maine were Algonquian speaking Wabanaki peoples including the Abenaki, Passamaquoddy and Penobscots.
The first Europeans to explore the coast of Maine sailed under the command of the Portuguese explorer Estevao Gomes in service of the Spanish Empire. They did not settle in the area, but they mapped the coastline. The first European settlement was made on St. Croix Island in 1604 by a French party lead by Samuel de Champlain. The French named the area Acadia. French & English settlers would contest central Maine until the 1750's when the French were defeated in the French and Indian War. The French developed and maintained strong relations with the area's Native American tribes through the Catholic missionaries.
During the American Revolution, Maine was a centre of Patriotism, with less Loyalist activity than most colonies. Merchants operated 52 ships that served as Privateers attacking British supply ships. Captain Henry Mowat of the Royal Navy was in charge of operations off the Maine coast during much of the war. He dismantled Fort Pownall at the mouth of the Penobscot River an burned Falmouth (present-day Portland) in 1775. He was reputedly heartless and brutal, but historians note that he performed his duty well and in accordance with the ethics of the era.
In 1779 the British started to seize parts of Maine, especially around Penobscot Bay, to make it into a new colony named New Ireland. The approach was promoted by exiled Loyalists so it could become a permanent colony for Loyalists and a base for military action during the war. The plan failed due to lack of interest by the British government and by the determination of the Americans to keep all of Maine.
Peace was signed in 1783 and the New Ireland proposal abandoned. In 1784 the British split New Brunswick off from Nova Scotia and made it into the desired Loyalist colony. The Treaty of Paris that ended the war was ambiguous about the boundary between Maine an the neighbouring British provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec and this would set the stage for the bloodless Aroostook War a half century later.
During the War of 1812, Maine suffered the effects of warfare more than most sections of New England. US Army and Navy resources were concentrating their efforts on the west and few resources were assigned to the Maine region. Eventually sufficient militia mobilizations managed to discourage enemy interventions from the British army and naval forces from nearby Nova Scotia.
Maine gained statehood in March 4, 1820 (supported by over 70% of its 24,000 residents) as part of the Missouri Compromise in which free northern states approved the statehood of Missouri as a slave state in exchange for the statehood of Maine as a free state. In this manner, northern representation remained in balance with southern pro-slavery influence in the Senate.
Maine's industrialization was focused on logging, lumber, shipbuilding and a disproportionally large merchant marine to deliver lumber all over the world. Later, the emphasis was on cotton textile mills and textile manufacturing, followed by pulp and paper.
Maine's population includes significant immigration from Ireland, French Canadians from Quebec and New Brunswick and English & Scottish immigrants coming via Canada. There is also a significant group of Somali immigrants from the early 2000's.
In the mid 20th century, the textile industry was relocating to the lower cost American South. Shipbuilding was also in decline and in more recent years, even Maine's most traditional industries have been threatened; forest conservation efforts diminished logging and pulp & paper; restrictions on fisheries put pressure on coastal communities.
Maine attempted to buttress retailing, service industries and tourism resulting in more outlet shopping centres, more state and national parks, increasing the number of visitors enjoying Maines vast unspoiled wilderness. However, since the 1970's, Maine continues to be the poorest state in all of the USA with its exceptionally high levels of welfare.
Cruising Maine's Coast: Enough history. Maine is reputedly one of the best cruising grounds in the world. It combines the best of broad ocean passages, magnificent rivers, coastal islands and mountains, and even a fjord. Wildlife abounds, as do safe harbours, and apparently you can feel as if you are one of only a few lucky souls out there exploring in your own boat. We plan to find out.
The typical cruising season in Maine lasts from the first of July through Labor Day. The days are warm, the nights are cool, and the prevailing southwest winds are light to moderate. So, we are on the early side of that time frame an hoping for better than average weather and temperatures.
Only 250 miles as the crow flies, Maine's convoluted coastline measures more than 3,500 miles. A new computerized study using satellite images has logged the length at a whopping 5,500 miles with 6,200 islands. There is enough coast here for a lifetime of cruising.
We've spent May 29th to June 4th living on the boat at the Atlantic Boat Yard, working away on projects. We made two trips into Blue Hill and Ellsworth with a loner car from Atlantic Boat's General Manager and literally filled the car twice with groceries and other supplies. We'd planned to launch the boat June 5th and go on a mooring for a day or two to finish checking out our various systems. However, a very high wind forecast for one to two days is making us postpone our launch a little longer. In the meantime we managed to fit in visits to the village of Brooklin with its quaint General Store and Brooklin Inn, the Brooklin Boat Yard and the Wooden Boat School that offers live-in courses on the art of wooden boat building.

For anyone considering cruising this area, we give high praise to the Atlantic Boat Company. Their price was the most reasonable we found in this area of Maine and the staff are the most friendly and accommodating you could ever hope for. It's been a great place to store our boat this past winter.
The weather so far has been extremely variable. During one day, we've experienced fog, mist, brilliant sunshine, heavy cloud cover with frequent showers, calm winds, strong winds and temperature swings from 9 to 23 degrees C (that's 48 to 74 degrees F). It's been some variation of that list every day this week. It seems the best thing to do is enjoy those brief bits of lovely sunshine and warm temperatures when they come and be prepared to put your sweater and jacket back on quickly.
Many thanks for following our blog and we certainly look forward to your comments. We will definitely be launched and under way by the time you see our next blog post.

COQUITLAM, BC, Monday, March 2, 2015 – Phase One is underway for the formal visioning process for the northwest area of Burke Mountain.
The Northwest Burke Vision area includes about 400 hectares (990 acres) of mostly undeveloped lands, bordered by Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, Upper Hyde Creek, Smiling Creek and Partington Creek neighbourhoods and quarry lands. The area includes diverse landscapes including steep hillsides and streams.
When complete, the Vision will provide high-level land use, access and servicing concepts, as well as a phasing plan that will provide guidance for future planning over the next 30 years.
The Northwest Burke Vision is being developed through a three-phase process:
The key document for discussion in Phase One will be a Constraints and Opportunities Report. This foundational report examines the lands in the vision area to determine physical and environmental constraints, and potential areas for future urban development, views and green space.
The assessment has determined that approximately 102 (low range) to 144 (high range) hectares of land are potentially available for future neighbourhoods in the Northwest Burke Vision area.
This background research will be used to guide future land use, access and servicing concepts for Phase Two.
Each phase of the visioning process will include an opportunity for stakeholders and the public to provide feedback. A community information session for Phase One will be held in late March/early April where the public will have a chance to review information about Phase One, including the Constraints and Opportunities Report, and provide feedback to help guide the development of the Vision.

- Warner Bros. has greenlit its Todd Phillips-directed Joker origin movie with Joaquin Phoenix stepping into the role.
- It will have a $55 million budget, small compared to other superhero blockbusters.
- It could even be ready for a 2019 release if all goes well, as it starts shooting in September.
Joaquin Phoenix is officially stepping into the purple suit of Batman's greatest foe.
Warner Bros. announced on Tuesday that Joaquin Phoenix finalized a deal to star in its Joker origin movie, directed by "The Hangover" director Todd Phillips. The news was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Variety originally reported in February that Phoenix was in talks for the role.
Phoenix has big shoes to fill. Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger — who won an Oscar for his take in "The Dark Knight" — are among the many actors to bring the character to life. The last to do so was Jared Leto in 2016 in "Suicide Squad" to less-than-stellar reviews. (But that hasn't stopped Warner Bros. from considering yet another Joker movie featuring Leto's version.)
Leto fans will have to wait, though. Phoenix's movie is getting fast-tracked and could even be ready for a 2019 release if Warner Bros. plays its cards right. According to THR, the movie has a $55 million budget and will start filming in September in New York.
That's a small budget compared to other superhero blockbusters, but the studio intends for this movie to be more of a "gritty character study" than a standard superhero flick. Martin Scorsese was once even attached to produce, and Warner Bros. was eyeing his frequent collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio for the role.
It's part of Warner Bros.' strategy of focusing on self-contained movies rather than its cinematic universe, which hit a brick wall when "Justice League" bombed critically and commercially last year. Apart from the Joker movie, Warner Bros. also has "Aquaman" coming later this year, "Shazam!" and "Wonder Woman 1984" next year, and a slew of other projects reportedly in development.

STEWART, Calvin 1839-1927
Posted By: Tammy (email)
Date: 4/12/2015 at 13:51:17
Grundy Pioneer Passed Away In Felix Township
Cal Stewart Died At His Home Tuesday Evening After Short Illness
Lived in County 55 Years
Was an Extensive Land Owner and Successful Grundy County Farmer
Calvin Stewart died at his home three miles northwest of Conrad at 6:45 Tuesday evening. Last November he suffered a stroke of paralysis. While it was but a partial stroke, Mr. Stewart's health declined gradually from that time on. While the family realized that his health was failing, they were not prepared for the rapid change that brought to an end a long and vigorous life.
Mr. Stewart was 87 years old on the 2nd of last November. He was born in New York state and came to Grundy county fifty-five years ago and lived here continually up to the time of his death. Mr. Stewart knew good land when he saw it and in his earlier years he bought a number of choice farms in Clay and Felix townships and he owned them at the time of his death. He not only knew good land when he saw it but he also knew how to care for it so that he could keep it good. He gained a wide acquaintance in southwest Grundy during the many years he lived there and he is being remembered by all as having been a good citizen and an accommodating neighbor.
Mr. Stewart's wife died about five years ago. Since that time he made his home a good share of the time with his son, Frank, who is the only surviving child.
Funeral services are being held at the home at 2:30 this afternoon. Burial will be in the family lot in the Conrad cemetery.

Wellness Plans
Geico offers three different wellness plans that give you choices of either $250, $450 or $650.
Wellness plans are only available as an add-on to your existing pet insurance policy.
You have an annual allowance to put towards some of the following procedures:
- Flea and Heartworm prevention
- Spaying and Neutering
- Prescription Medications
- Vaccines
- Routine vet visits
- Dental Cleaning
- Preventative Care services
While wellness plans are a nice addition, most of these procedures are easily paid out of pocket.
Hereditary and Congenital Conditions
Hereditary and congenital conditions, also known as breed-specific conditions are covered under all of Geico's plans.
Some of these conditions don't show up in your dog or cat until many years later. And this is when pet insurance is great to have and an emotional and financial relief.
Some examples of a hereditary condition are:
- Elbow Dysplasia
- Hip Dysplasia
- Patellar Luxation
- Intervertebral Disease
- Cancer
- Allergies
All Geico accident and illness policies will cover breed-specific conditions as long as they aren't pre-existing.
Alternative Therapy
Geico, like Healthy Paws, is one of the few pet insurance providers that offer alternative therapy in all their stand plans.
Alternative treatments include some of the following:
- Acupuncture
- Chiropractor
- Reiki
- Physical Therapy
- Rehab therapy
Benefit Limits
Geico offers benefit limits that range from $5,000 to $15,000. And they don't offer unlimited benefits in any of their plans like Healthy Paws.
While it can help lower premiums, if your dog or cat gets in a serious accident, the medical bill could easily be more than $15,000.
A young dog or cat could fit into these annual limit ranges, unless, of course, they too have an unexpected illness or accident.
Reimbursement Method
Geico offers reimbursements that range from 65% to 90%. This range can help you budget your cots.
If you want the lower premium, you would choose the 65% reimbursement.
Figo is one of the few pet insurance companies who offer a 100% reimbursement rate.
Geico's wellness plans reimburse you for expenses incurred from $250 to $650 depending on the plan you choose.
Deductible Types
Geico offers a wide range of annual deductible choices that start at $100 and go up to $1,000.
Annual deductibles only have to be paid once each year when you pay your first vet bill. It is always our preferred choice because you know exactly what will pay each policy year.
With Geico, if you choose the higher the deductible, it can help to lower the monthly premium.
What Is The Cost Of Geico Pet Insurance?
Geico's pet insurance costs are competitive. Of course, the price is influenced by the breed of dog or cat you own, your pet's age, where you live and which coverage you choose.
The starting monthly premium rates for dogs is $15.
The starting monthly premium rates for cats is $10.
Discounts are available of 5 % for the following:
- Enrollment of more than one pet
- Pets have been spayed or neutered
- Members of the military
- Annual pay discount
- On-line payment through your bank
Claims Process
Claims are handles through Geico's partner, Embrace, and are super easy to fill out.
Upload your claim form through the MyEmbrace on-line customer portal. You can also fax or mail it and follow up on the status of the claim.
Accident and illness claims take up to two weeks after you upload the necessary information.
Geico, through Embrace, offers a service called VETLIVE, which gives you daily access to vet experts.
Enrollment And Waiting Period
Geico's waiting period is the typical 14 days for accident and illnesses.
Dogs and cats can be enrolled from 6 weeks old to 14 years old.
A 6-month waiting list is required for cruciate ligament issues or any orthopedic condition.
Once you enroll in a Geico policy, you have a year to see your vet to make sure they are healthy.
Your policy will automatically renew unless you give them a 2- to 4-week notice of cancellation.
Questions about Geico Pet Insurance
Why sign up with Geico Pet Insurance when you can go directly to Embrace Pet Insurance?
If you already enrolled in an auto or homeowners plan with Geico, it's can be easier to have all of your insurance coverage with the same company.
Most insurance companies will give you a discount if you enroll in more than one policy which can be an added incentive. Make sure to ask for one!
What kind of alternative therapy is offered through Geico?
Alternative therapy is great for older pets or pet owners who are looking for non-invasive healing procedures.
Some of the alternative therapy offered is homeopathic treatment, electro-acupuncture, rehabilitation, and therapeutic laser, reiki, and BICOM therapy.
Is there any difference in Geico's plans?
Not really. The services and treatment offered are the same in whatever plan you choose. There is an additional rider if you want to add prescription medication.
The real difference is the reimbursement, deductibles and if you add wellness to your plan.
What are the Wellness program options with Geico?
If you choose a Wellness program with Geico, you have 3 options of a set amount of allowance to go towards all of the routine procedures they offer: $250, 450 or up to $650.
Is it worth the extra money? Probably not especially since you can pay most of these routine procedures that aren't typically expensive.
Are there any age limits with Geico?
Yes. Pets can enroll up to 14 years old. However, if your pet is already enrolled with Geico, you won't lose coverage once they pass that age.
What isn't covered with Geico?
Geico, like most pet insurance companies, won't cover any pre-existing conditions, pregnancy, injury caused from fighting or neglect, elective procedures like ear cropping or tail docking unless it is necessary, medically speaking for your dog or cat.

March 2018 Slide of the Month
- Ten Quality Decision-Making Practices (QDMPs) have been identified, based on semi-structured interviews with 29 key opinion leaders from pharmaceutical companies and regulatory agencies.1
- Participants at the June 2017 CIRS Workshop reorganised these ten practices, grouping them as
- those that establish who, why and how decisions are made (Practices 1,2 and 3),
- those that ensure decision quality, relevance and importance (Practices 4, 6 and 7),
- those that consider decision alternatives and impact (Practices 5 and 8) and
- those that involve decision transparency and communication (Practices 9 and 10).
- Participants further agreed that documentation is a key marker of quality decision making and specified that documentation for practices 1, 2 and 3 should include documentation of the decision-making framework and weighting criteria and the decision-making standard operating procedures (SOPs), including a rigorous documentation of the roles and responsibilities of decision makers. These decision makers should be accountable for adherence to the SOPs and decisions should reflect their perspectives.
- Documentation of practise 4, 6 and 7 should include documentation of the framework used for evaluating biases, uncertainties that were considered and fully defined triggers for the re-evaluation of the decision.
- Documentation for practices 5 and 8 should include documentation of the alternatives to the decision that were considered and the template that was used to perform an analysis of the impact of the decision.
- Finally, documentation for practices 9 and 10 should include a template to be used for the communication of the decision.
- Donelan R et al. Factors influencing quality decision-making: regulatory and pharmaceutical industry perspectives. Pharmacoepidemiol Drug Safety. 2015;24:319-328.

Web services based portals: The wave of the future? Part two
In this second part of a two-part column, we'll look at the standards and technologies that make Web-based portals possible.
The Web Services Advisor
(To receive this column in your inbox,
click Edit your Profile and subscribe.).
Continued from Part One
Web services-based portals are a new wave information resource that can give employees and managers powerful tools for gathering information, making decisions and getting their work done most effectively. These new portals may well be the wave of the future in the enterprise.
In my previous column, I looked at what Web services-based portals are, what benefits they offer and whether they really are the wave of the future. In this second part, we'll look at the standards and technologies that make the portals possible.
A look at Web services-powered portals
Before we can examine the technology, we need a brief look at what a portal is. Portals are Web pages or sites that serve as front-ends to enterprise data and applications and offer access to a wide variety of enterprise resources. So a product manager, for example, would be able to sign into a portal that could give him access to applications and data that he otherwise would have to spend many hours finding and signing into -- one application showing current sales, another showing projected sales, another showing the current status of the manufacturing process, yet another showing him his staff's vacation schedules and so on. Some companies also offer external portals to customers and business partners over the Internet, not just on a company Intranet.
Portals have been around for some time, but Web services can supercharge them. They can make it easier to connect to applications and data with little programming required and can offer other benefits such as offering a single sign on -- sign into the portal and then never have to sign into each individual application.
The standards that make it all work
Two related relatively new standards make all this possible. One handles building "portlets" and "portlet containers" and the other handles building portals. A portlet is a Java-based Web component that takes requests from a user and then generates dynamic content based on that request -- in essence, the front end to data and applications. It's a pluggable user interface to specific data or applications. So, in our example, one portlet would provide the product manager with information about the status of the manufacturing process, another portlet would show him his staff's vacation schedules, and so on. Portlet containers are components that hold the portlets and control access into and out of them. The portal itself is made up of an interface and many individual portlets, which can be easily changed and swapped in and out of the portal. Portals can be customized as well, so that a product manager's portal can have one set of portlets on it and a CEO's portal could have a different set of portlets.
Let's take a look at how the three components work together on a typical Web-based portal to deliver information or applications:
1. A user logs into a portal, is authenticated and makes a request for information from the portal, via HTTP over the Web.
2. The portal receives the request and checks whether the request can be handled by any of the portlets on the portal.
3. When the portal finds which portlets can handle the request, it asks the portlet container to invoke the portlets to process the request.
4. The portlets process the request through the portlet container and send along content fragments that can be used on the portal page.
5. The portal aggregates the content fragment outputs of the portlets, creates a new page out of them and sends the portal page, complete with the data or application, back to the person doing the requesting.
The standard that covers portlets, called JSR 168, was developed by the Java Community Process (JCP); the current 1.0 spec was approved only recently, in October of 2003. (To see the full spec itself, go here: http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr168/index.html.) The specification, in its own words, defines "a portlet API that provides means for aggregating several content sources and applications front ends. It will also address how the security and personalization is handled." It handles not just portlets, but portlet containers as well.
The standard that covers portals, Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP), is also a relatively new standard, having been approved by OASIS in August of 2003 and is in version 1.0. (To see the full spec itself, go here: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/3343/oasis-200304-wsrp-specification-1.0.pdf.) Its purpose is to create a standard that allows for the dynamic integration of business applications and content into a plug-and-play portal solution. It's been designed to work with JSR 168. While the spec itself is necessarily complicated, the idea behind it is simple. A portal should be able to be created quickly and easily using Web services standards. That way, when a company creates a Web service for some specific purpose, for example to make it easy to access a legacy application, that Web service will be able to be easily reused in a portal. So entirely new programming would not have to be done; the service could be easily reused.
For more information about Web services-based portals, go to POST, the Portlet Open Source Trading Site at http://sourceforge.net/projects/portlet-opensrc. It's an open source site that not only includes information about Web services portals, but also includes open source code and downloads.
What the future holds
Both standards are relatively new and Web services portals are being talked about at this point rather than being used to any great degree. To a great extent, though, whether they become widely used will be largely dependent on whether vendors integrate WSRP into their products, says Neil Macehiter, Research Director for Ovum.
"For (Web services portals) to really take off, it requires the widespread use of WSRP and that depends on how many vendors will provide an WSRP interface in their products," he says.
But if it does happen, expect a new generation of portals to help corporations and their business partners and for Web services to become even more embedded in the daily life of enterprises.

There will always be helpers and the helpers will always outnumber the bad people.

Sydney Siege - The Helpers
31 comments:
I've always loved that saying about their being helpers - now even more with hubby as a helper (fire fighter). And in this tragedy there has been so much coming together as a community too. Peace and love do win out.ReplyDelete
Beautiful sentiment. So true. xReplyDelete
It's the helpers that make the world turn!ReplyDelete
I want to always be a helper. Lovely post. xReplyDelete
I've never heard of that quote before, but I really like it. Thank God for all of the people who have come together to help, to provide support and to promote kindness.ReplyDelete
Thank God for the helpers in life Toni. I remember the night of 9/11 I was feeding my first child who was then 4 months old and thinking GOD what kind of world have I brought this child into. Those feelings came flooding back on Monday but I am choosing to focus on the heros and the bravery and the kindness shown by complete strangers. It is what ill get me and all of us through this xxReplyDelete
That day was so scary, we were all just gathered around the television waiting for it to be over for everyone involved.ReplyDelete
Tegan xx - Permanent Procrastination
I've found it really hard not to let Bell hear too much about it all, because at 11 they can tend to dwell on it. Thank goodness for the helpers, for sure xxReplyDelete
"Look for the helpers" is an awesome quote and one that we all use, we all need to be reminded of the good out there. The news is always so wrapped up in the bad :(ReplyDeleteReplies
Yea the news is always so depressing, always reporting on the worst of everything. I never realised how negative it was until going on maternity leave and watching the news reports throughout the day. I used to get home after the evening news had already finished so I was a bit out of the loop.Delete
I have seen that quote doing the rounds, and it's beautiful. I'm glad some beauty has come out of the shocking events of the past few weeks. xReplyDelete
Lovely sentiment. It's been a hard, scary week in Sydney. Never thought something like that would happen so close to me.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful, positive and uplifting post. I imagine when the day comes that you share with your child some of the reality of this world, this quote will be a wonderful support. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Some of our children are old enough to understand (ten, eight & seven years) & explaining to their young innocent minds what was happening, & even harder why is was happening, is one of the harder conversations we've had. Then their comments & thoughts on what they could do to help, well it was one of the proudest moments.ReplyDelete
I love that here, in Australia (& all over the world) we are full of helpers, & it seems the next generation are even more determined to lift us all higher.

I was on holiday at Burleigh and saw it all unfold on Channel 7. I saw the terror on those faces pressed up to the windows and I cried and cried. How many more bad things were going to happen in 2014? How could this be happening in Australia? How could a human being do this to other human beings? Will they make it out alive? How many are in there? Just some of the thoughts going through my head. Sadly two of the hostages did lose their lives. It was so devastating to wake the next morning to that news. Sometimes I wish I was a kid again whose parents protected and shielded me from every having to know of such horrors. It hurts my heart so bad. I hope 2015 does not hold so many tragedies as 2014 did. xoReplyDelete
I was in Sydney worried sick about my Dad in surgery as the siege unfolded. It was a terrible day and I felt sick for Dad, for the hostages and for my kids back home in Newcastle. Then with the week ending with the tragedy in Cairns, it was hard to understand that fundamental question - WHY? Our kids will need to understand the good and the bad in the world one day but I hope they are shielded from it as long as possible.ReplyDelete
This was such a sad thing to happen, and to think it may have been prevented. I am so proud of our country's people, and how we have rallied together to overcome it. Now the justice system and government need to pull their heads out of the arses and do something, so that it doesn't happen again this way.ReplyDelete

Adrian wanted his website to be different from all the other driving schools in town, he wanted it to be lighthearted and interactive. I created some graphics to illustrate the areas in which he specialises as well as a flow diagram. There is a blog included so that he can update the site with his latest passes, a page where his students can post a review, and social network icons- all things that will help with SEO and get his site to rise in the Google rankings.

We have merged our travel blog with our Decluttering the Stuff site/blog. This site will no longer be updated. Please visit us at Decluttering the Stuff!
We have replaced our class C Winnebago with a Class A Winnebago! Old Winnie was 12 years old – we never had a problem with her but as we approach retirement, we thought we should consider a change in these last few years of full time income.
Hopefully we can pay off New Winnie before we retire! John has committed to 3 more years and Barb 5 more years (then she hits the magic 30 year mark and about $900 more per month.)
Below are the floor plans of our new and old Winnebagos. Not much different in layout.
Here are the feature changes we love!!
Today we visited the Bodie State Historic Park. (This was started just before Barb decided to test the theory of gravity hence the delay in posting!)
It is a ghost town (in arrested decay) in the middle of nowhere! The 13 mile road from the 395 is now paved for about 10 miles. We were very surprised to see this improvement. The last time we visited, about 1 mile was paved and we ended up with a flat tire along the 12 miles of dirt road!
Our flat tire changing site and view of local mountains!
Cost is $8 per person. Allow about 2 hours to wander the premises and visit the museum. Guided tours are also available.
All quotes are from the guide book. Pictures were taken by us June 2017.
Today we rented a pontoon boat and spent the day bobbing on Convict Lake. Rentals are provided by Convict Lake Resort.
John fished for hours and caught nothing. Barb and Kiddo #2 gossiped and read. Dog enjoyed being with his people.
Pics while we are on the lake.
And a duck family!
Today was an easy day with short walks to allow us to acclimate to the altitude. Rock Creek Lake is at 9600 feet above sea level and still has ice. This is the most we have ever seen here at this time of year – we usually go up on Memorial Day weekend and it is usually ice free.
The campground we usually stay at nearby is still closed and not expected to open until June 20th.
Lunch next to Rock Creek near East Fork Campground. Our favorite creek and lunch spot!
After lunch we drove to the town of Mammoth Lakes. Along the way is the Mammoth/Yosemite Airport and the Hot Creek Trout hatchery. We decided to actually drive up to the terminal. They have one flight leave for Los Angeles every afternoon (after the flight from LAX arrives)
Some fish at the hatchery and a view from the hatchery of the mountains.
Mammoth Lakes Resort – Skiing is still happening in June!
Our 6 week vacation lasted 4 days before "disaster" struck.
Barb tripped over her own feet on the evening of the 4th day. Dislocated shoulder and trip to the ER was the excitement of the evening.
Here's the initial x-ray. Our niece replied "that don't look right!"
We ended up coming home on the 6th day. She just couldn't handle the RV life with the amount of residual pain. Besides that, follow-up appointments and physical therapy at our home facility will be more convenient and much less costly than paying out of pocket.
As a side note, we have a reputation of ER visits during vacations – kidney stones, broken arm, urinary tract infection, scratched cornea are just a few reasons for ER visits.
When people think of Southern California, they have many predetermined views of the landscape and people.
The only biome is "BEACH".
Everything revolves around Hollywood, celebrities, and palm trees.
We only eat In-N-Out or organic hippie food (on the beach of course!)
As we traveled today, we progressed from an elevation of about 400 feet above sea level to about 9600 feet above sea level.
We never saw the ocean or beach. We did see plenty of palm trees!
We didn't eat In-N-Out today. Lunch was fruit, crackers, and cheese while driving.
We passed through/along the following National Forests/Parks:
*San Bernardino National Forest
*Sequoia National Forest
*Coso Range Wilderness Area
*Kings Canyon National Park
*Sierra National Forest
*Inyo National Forest
We passed or were within a short drive to the following: by the way, we have visited all but the actual peak of Mt. Whitney.
*Death Valley National Park (Lowest elevation in US at 282 feet BELOW sea level)
*Eastern Sierra Scenic Byway
*Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest (oldest non-clonal organisms in the world with some over 5000 years old!)
*Manzanar National Historic Site (Japanese interment camp. John's mom, who grew up in this area, remembers driving by it during WWII and not understanding why they were on the other side of a fence guarded by men with guns.)

The old forms of the left are moribund the new forms are stupid. We're making a podcast that talks about the need to organize pessimism and develop a Marxist salvage project that might be able to cobble something together in time to save the world...A clean, honest, and unsentimental melancholy is required; we've cultivated one and would like to share it with you.

So you've narrowed your choices and have decided you want a drip coffee maker. But what to be on the lookout for? What options are available to you and what are the most desirable? Below you will find all the info you need to help you make a final decision. And one that is right for you, not someone else.
Do you want your coffee ready for you in the morning? Then you need to look for a drip coffee maker that has fully programmable settings. Set everything up before you go to bed – water and grounds – set the program for the time you get up and start your day with your favorite brew! … Take a look at the Capresso SG120 or the Cuisinart DCC2800.
Do you often brew smaller amounts? Then you want a coffee maker that comes with a small batch setting — generally allowing you to brew 1 to 4 cups of coffee at a time without diluting the taste. … Take a look at the Capresso SG120.
If you're brewing a full pot, do you often want to pour a cup before it's done? Look for a pause and serve setting. This will temporarily halt the brew process, allowing you to pour a cup without flooding your countertop. … Take a look at the Capresso SG120
Don't like the taste of your tap water? To spare yourself having to filter your water between the tap and your coffee maker, look for a coffee maker with a built-in filter.
Do you grind your own beans? Look for a drip coffee maker that has an integrated grinder.
Don't like the smell of burnt coffee? A little forgetful? Choose a model that has an automatic shut off.
Picky about brew strength? Some coffee makers do come with a brew strength control…. Take a look at the Capresso SG120 or the Cuisinart DCC2800.
This certainly isn't an exhaustive list of all features available in drip coffee makers, but will hopefully give you enough information to be able to make an educated decision. For the most part, have listed the most common features. So now that you know what to look for in a drip coffee maker, why not head over to our reviews section via our buying guide or our comparison chart and pick one that's right for you.

HAVERFORD, Pa. – The Haverford College men's basketball team took a 79-57 setback against rival Swarthmore on Wednesday evening during the Fords' home finale. The No. 7 Garnet showed why they are nationally-ranked and the front-runners to host the Centennial Conference Tournament as they shot over 48 percent from the field in the opening half. Despite tonight's result, Haverford still remains in front of Swarthmore in the Hood Trophy standings by a 4.5-3.5 advantage in the friendly rivalry.
Playing in front of the home crowd for the final time, Haverford's seniors each played a key role in the Fords jumping out to an early lead against their nationally-ranked rivals. Joe Scibelli led his team with 14 points, while Kahlil Garnes finished with 13 points. Kyle Goldfarb added five points and also dished out three assists.
The visiting Garnet grabbed an early lead in the contest by scoring 12 of the first 18 points. However, Scibelli knocked down his second three-pointer of the early going to stop that brief sprint. Jack Cork, who finished with eight points, got the Fords back within a point following a pair of baskets in the paint. Goldfarb went on to give the Fords their first lead of the night on the next possession as he knocked down a trey of his own to set the score at 16-15 just over eight minutes into regulation.
Garnes gave Haverford its largest lead of the evening as he buried a triple of his own with 8:17 to play in the opening half, making the score 23-19. However, the Garnet eventually regained their composure and ran off 21 of the next 25 points. A buzzer beater from Jesse Turkson down low ended the half on a positive note for the Fords, but they still trailed 40-29 at the break.
Swarthmore hit a three-pointer of its own to open the scoring in the second half. On two separate occasions, Haverford had the Garnet's lead trimmed to 11 points but it just could not cut the deficit to single digits. Two points from Garnes on the fast break made the score 55-44 as the Fords seemed to have some momentum on their side, but Swarthmore answered with 12 straight points to put the game out of reach.
The Garnet finished the game shooting better from beyond the arc than they did from the rest of the field as they built their advantage. In the second matchup of the top two rebounding teams in the conference, Haverford did much better as it limited Swarthmore to a 44-42 advantage on the boards. Turkson led those efforts with eight rebounds. The Fords also assisted 13 of their 23 field goals, with five different players dishing out multiple dimes.
Men's basketball will now wrap up the 2018-19 campaign this Saturday night against Johns Hopkins. That game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. tip in Baltimore. The Fords have already posted their highest overall and road win totals since the 2010-11 season and will look to end the year on a high note by sending their seniors out with a victory.
