I Believe... [Trump vs. Harrison]
By Don Hall
...that the idea of a male romper is more distressing than the man-bun, the endless facial hair and the fake enthusiasm for kale. I may move to Wyoming and live in a cave to avoid modern fashion trends.
...that the best zombie movie I've seen in a very long time is The Girl with All the Gifts and you should see it, too.
...that Trump isn't crazy nor is he stupid. He's incompetent and has no regard for improving. His undoing will not be our maniacal rage, our protests, nor our self righteousness. His undoing will be himself in the face of the government bureaucracy he so despises.
...that the depravity of real estate landlords doing anything to make a profit may be a leading cause for gentrification and a rage only matched by a progressive thinking for five minutes that Trump will be impeached, but wait until we in Chicago are faced with the reality of Hong Kong coffin homes.
...that when dealing with the unreasoning anxiety and numbing fear of the Trump Presidency, everyone needs to get a grip. The only difference between Trump and, say, Benjamin Harrison is Twitter and the potential for nuclear war. Don't believe me? Check this out:
Harrison lost the popular vote to incumbent Democratic President Grover Cleveland but won the Electoral College so Cleveland was out and Benjy was in. Harrison's campaign virtually sold every possible presidential appointment in its desperate bid for the presidency, so Benjamin had almost no leeway on who he could nominate for positions from Cabinet level on down. The confirmation hearings provided ample fodder for political humor as some of the most unqualified nominees in U.S. history paraded before the Senate.
Harrison proved to be in over his head on the economy and his disjointed, sometimes contradictory measures to turn things around resulted in a full-blown depression by the time he ran for reelection. He wound up losing to Grover Cleveland, who retook the Oval Office to become the country's only two-term president to serve those terms non-consecutively.

June skirt - a floral finish
I like the skirt -it's a good fit and very comfortable. I certainly have my choice of colors for tops! I recommend the pattern though I'd advise tweaking the angle of the a-line if your fabric doesn't drape. I think a stiffer fabric would stick out quite a bit.
11 comments:
nice finish! I would of went with the red blouse too, love red! lol! the pockets being on the outside makes it look like a very quick sewReplyDelete
Great summer skirt with so many options of what to wear with it and pockets too - perfectReplyDelete
This is a great pattern, love the big pockets. And the cheerful fabric is just perfect.ReplyDelete
Great skirt. I've never noticed this pattern.ReplyDelete
What a fun skirt for summer and turned out fantastic!ReplyDelete
Lovely fabric, great style and practical pockets. Awesome!ReplyDelete
I can see why you had to buy this fabric - it's so happy and cheerful for summer. The pockets are wonderful - always missing on RTW.ReplyDelete
Very pretty :)xReplyDelete
Really nice skirt and the complete outfit is cute.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your kind comments, everyone. Even the husband noticed I was wearing something new so that print must REALLY be an eye catcher !ReplyDelete
Your new skirt is so pretty and perfect with the red tank. Love the fit, and especially love the pockets!!! You look ready for summer.ReplyDelete

Docked Winamp messes up menus in Mp3tag and FreeCommander
I could write once again what is happening- but what I already wrote on the Mp3tag forum is sufficient
So please check out this particular post in the middle of discussion, as it has newly made screenshots with a thorough description: https://community.mp3tag.de/t/x-acti...-again/18377/5
I also constructed a menu exceeding vertical screen height in FreeCommander later on- which also was messed up in a similar way [https://freecommander.com/forum/view...=8710&p=27810]. So it seems that this is not a fault of third party software, but of Winamp and / or the operating system. And this has been happening [at least in Mp3tag] for years now [since the time I noticed that is, which was when I exceeded the available vertical space]
I use:
Mp3tag 2.88e [free]
FreeCommander XE 2018 Build 770 32-bit public [free]
Windows 7 x64 SP1 [somehow not free]

This problem went completely away when I recently move to a clean install of Windows 10, be it with Winamp in version 5.666 or 5.8. I import my old Winamp and Mp3tg settings I the bug is nowhere to be found
But that problem was manifesting itself on a laptop with Windows 7, which I had chance to borrow. But what is important- Winamp was with the owners settings, as I only installed Mp3tag and imported settings only for it. [Yet another proof that this is fault of either Mp3tag and / or Windows 7]

It's tax time and every year there are tax tips intended to help save you money on taxes.
If you had to choose between 2 tax saving options which would you choose?
- One that will save you $87 on a $2500 expense.
- One that will save you $1000 on the same $2500 expense.
This year, on the CBC website (CBC.ca), they have an updated article "9 tax tips that will save you money".
The tip that I want to talk about is #9 on their list and is about medical expenses. (See the full article HERE)
9. Be sure to claim all eligible medical expenses.
Tax experts say missed medical expenses are one of the most overlooked tax breaks.
Many people don't bother to add everything up because of the income-related threshold: only expenses that exceed the lesser of $2,152 or three per cent of net income can be claimed.
But what they don't realize is that there's a long list of expenses that qualify, so it's often not too difficult to reach that threshold.
Travel expenses even qualify when people need to go more than 40 kilometres (one way) to get medical treatment that isn't available closer to home.
Medical expenses can be claimed by either spouse or partner.
I am always amazed that they completely overlook the advice that applies to the Canadian business owner or self employed professional; and that is the "Private Health Services Plan" (PHSP) otherwise known as a "Health Spending Account" (HSA).
What they are referring to in the second paragraph is the "Medical Expense Tax Credit" (METC). This is a personal "Tax Credit". Basically, you will gather up all your health expense receipts and give them to your accountant hoping somehow, you will pay less in taxes as a result. The reality is that unless your total health expenses are over $2152 or 3% of your income you will only get a tax credit on the OVERAGE. And even then, the "tax credit" will be at the lowest Provincial tax rate which is usually around 25%. What does that mean in dollars saved?
Health expense Total: $$2500
Amount over $2152 that you can claim: $348
Tax Credit (@25%): $87
Yay! You reduce your payable taxes by $87 on the $348 amount that is over the $2152 threshold.
If you are a Canadian business owner or self employed professional you have a much better option to save you significantly more in taxes.
When you set up your PHSP or HSA through Canada Smart Plan for your business all your health expenses become a deductible expense for your business and a tax free benefit for you
Assumption in this example: You are in a 35% Tax Bracket.
Health Expense amount: $2500
The amount you need to earn to pay that expense (approx): $3750
The amount of taxes you save by using this plan: $1250
The additional cost to your business $250 (10% admin fee charged to your business on claims processed)
Net saving in personal taxes: $1000
Now, which tax savings would you rather have?
- $87 by using the METC? Or,
- $1000 using Canada Smart Plan?
Canada Smart Plan is absolutely FREE to set up and there are no "maintenance fees" ever. When you use it, your business is charged the 10% admin fee in order to save you the 30-40% in personal taxes. You ALWAYS save significantly more than it costs you.
If you are a Canadian business owner or self employed professional you absolutely NEED to have this in place.
Without it you are just giving this money away to the tax man and somehow, I don't think you really want to do that, do you?

It's become standard practice for presidential candidates to release personal memoirs outlining their governmental philosophy, and although Governor Andrew Cuomo insists he's focused on New York, he's soon to follow down that well-tread electoral path. The book, like Hillary Clinton's–another prominent potential White House contender–is slated to emerge next year.
"This is a private book. It's not a government book," he told reporters during an unrelated press conference in Albany. It doesn't yet have a name, but as Mr. Cuomo described it, the memoir will be sure to address how he approaches government and tout his accomplishments.

InduSoft releases InduSoft Web Studio v8.0
Capable, now and in the future, of meeting the increased demands and functionality of the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 and embedded devices.
"Regardless of the device, it must exchange data with other devices through the Internet and through the cloud if necessary," says Fabio Terezinho, director of consulting services, InduSoft at Schneider Electric Software. "IT determines the particular Internet of Things (IoT) approach and decides whether the cloud is needed or not, and whether the network is in plant, public or private domain. InduSoft is open for device integration and is ready to drive on any road, as we are connecting machines together, to the Internet and to the cloud."
InduSoft is releasing InduSoft Web Studio v8.0, the latest version of its award-winning software, comments Terezinho. "InduSoft Web Studio v8.0 continues our commitment to innovation and openness," he says. "In addition to HMI, SCADA and embedded instrumentation solutions, this new version offers unique, enhanced IoT and interface capabilities for use on a variety of smartphones and tablets, as well as unparalleled revision control and application lifecycle management."
InduSoft began as a privately held company in 1997 and has been making InduSoft Web Studio, for over 15 years. InduSoft was acquired by Invensys in 2013, and then again by Schneider Electric in 2014. It has now grown to be a part of Schneider Electric Software and soon a segment of Aveva, when finalized.
Also read: Why you might have HMI design backward
Despite all the changes in the parent company, InduSoft has continued to develop and evolve InduSoft Web Studio, CEView, EmbeddedView, and now IoTView, and has a clear roadmap for the future.
New devices welcome
InduSoft aims to offer a platform-agnostic HMI/SCADA solution that is highly flexible and able to support emerging technology trends.
"The number of Internet-connected devices in the world is increasing, and InduSoft Web Studio is ready to connect these devices with the portability and small footprint required for deployment on any platform and the same user-friendly development environment as previous versions," comments Terezinho. "There is a growing number of connected devices, and this new demographic doesn't always run Windows. InduSoft will continue to support these new classes of devices with its HMI software, reducing custom coding and development time."
InduSoft Web Studio is a complete solution, with no need to purchase add-ons for necessary functionality, notes Terezinho. "It scales easily, and applications can be developed quickly for deployment on almost any device," he explains. "InduSoft was the first HMI/SCADA solution for Windows CE devices and is now the first software package with a dedicated version for IoT and Industry 4.0 applications. Because InduSoft Web Studio is platform-agnostic, it's easy to connect to a huge variety of disparate devices with native communication drivers."
The new runtime, IoTView in particular, was designed with a very small footprint capable of running on most devices designed for the Internet of Things, says Terezinho. "It offers a core runtime for some Linux and VXWorks operating systems," adds Terezinho.
Other enhancements
InduSoft Web Studio also offers improved functionality for mobile access, better security and improved collaboration with integration to Microsoft's Team Foundation Server, states Terezinho. "Improvements to the collaboration server add-on and its integration with Team Foundation Server make it even easier for multiple engineers to work on the same InduSoft Web Studio project," he explains.
InduSoft Web Studio 8.0 incorporates new enhancements. The software provides new options for native tag integration, in addition to the more than 240 drivers already included with the software.
"The easy configuration options for mobile and remote HMI and SCADA solutions have been improved with our new multiple screen support feature," notes Terezinho. "The ability to simultaneously open multiple screens on the Studio Mobile Access (SMA) thin client solution is part of this release. Multiple screens such as screen groups, pop-ups and dialogs can be opened on thin client stations using any HTML5-compatible Web browser. Not only is this an important feature for new applications, it also allows visualization of multiple screens from existing applications on SMA thin clients, with no additional screen creation needed," continues Terezinho.
This InduSoft Web Studio v8.0 release is a natural evolution of the product's lifecycle, comments Terezinho. "Using agile program development methods, InduSoft has been releasing minor and major enhancements to our software since v7.0," he says. "This new release is just the starting point for future enhancements."
InduSoft was the first HMI/SCADA solution for Windows CE devices and is now the first software package with a dedicated version for the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 applications."

Picks subject to change after initial publication.
|2015 Westgate SuperContest Season-To-Date Records

Ryan Fowler – Fantasy Editor
Packers (-8) over the 49ers
Only concern – the short week. Don't let the final score fool you because the Packers torched the Chiefs on Monday night and the 49ers haven't shown a pulse on defense the last two games (at Steelers and at Cardinals). Eddie Lacy says his ankle is healthy. The line has moved to 9.5 since Supercontest closed its lines. The Packers have among the fewest 3rd down attempts in the NFL and it's because the offensive is in a groove. Watch Aaron Rodgers carve it up again on Sunday.
Jaguars (+9) over the Colts
Andrew Luck not at 100% (shoulder). Colts offensive line among the worst in the NFL. Colts also worst in the NFL in Give/Take differential (-7). Plus, they needed a remarkable comeback to beat the Titans, a team the Browns beat a week prior.
Blake Bortles and his Jaguars beat the Miami Dolphins – a quality opponent – before the Patriots crushed them in Week 4. Bortles, Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns can move the ball against this defense. The key will be T.J. Yeldon to make the most of his assumed 20+ carries. Indy has allowed 112 rush yards per game through the first three weeks.
Cardinals (-7) over the Rams
I'm not questioning the Rams' defense. It's a top five unit. I don't believe the Rams have found an offensive identity and will be hard pressed to find it against the Cardinals in Week 4. St. Louis ranks dead last in total offense and rank fifth-worst in points per game at less than 17. How is Nick Foles suppose to move the chains against the fifth best defense on the road?
The answer is he won't. Cardinals may get Andre Ellington back to take some pressure off Chris Johnson who racked up 150 total yards last week against the 49ers. Carson Palmer will have all five starting offensive linemen against the Rams – a first this season. To date, the Cardinals o-line has only allowed one sack. The Rams are tied for first with 13 sacks this season.
WhatIfSports NFL Simulation Engine
Cowboys (+3) over the Saints
WhatIfSports.com's Week 4 predictions include two upsets. We picked Steelers over Ravens (just a little disappointed in Josh Scobee) and Cowboys over Saints. We simulated Dallas and New Orleans 501 times – with Drew Brees at quarterback – and the Cowboys won 66.6 percent of the time by an average score of 26-20. Brees is questionable this week and could be sidelined in favor of Luke McCown. The Saints' Superdome losing streak stretched to six games with a Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers adding to five home losses to end the 2014 season. Brandon Weeden was competent in replacement of Tony Romo last week, and Joseph Randle could be in line for another strong outing against a New Orleans defense that surrenders 126 rush yards per game (ranked 26th in the NFL). View the box score. (At the time of Thursday's simulation, a line hadn't been officially set for the game yet, hence no over/under or ATS statistics in the box score.)
Lions (+10) cover against the Seahawks
While we're not predicting an upset in Seattle this week – our simulation engine likes the Seahawks to win 65.2 percent of the time by an average score of 25-21 – we don't envision a blowout either. Seattle finally looked like itself against the Bears in Week 3, winning 26-0, but the defending NFC champs have been off to a slow start in 2015. The Seahawks could be without the services of Marshawn Lynch, who's questionable with a hamstring injury. If Lynch can't go, the Seahawks will turn to rookie Thomas Rawls as their lead back. While Rawls totaled 104 rushing yards against the Bears, Detroit would surely prefer him to get the start. In 501 simulations, Detroit covered 67.3 percent of the time. View the box score.
Texans (+6) cover against the Falcons
It's time for Atlanta to come back down to earth. Well, at least a little. We're predicting the Falcons to improve to 4-0 with a victory over Houston this weekend, with the home team winning 53.9 percent of simulations by an average score of 24-22. But we don't see Atlanta covering the 6-point spread as well. Two of the Falcons' three wins have been by four points or fewer. Hopefully they add a third narrow victory on Sunday. In 501 simulations, Houston covered the spread 62.7 percent of the time. View the box score.

Theatre: Thoroughly Modern Millie at Xtreme Theatre
by Brianna Deutsch
Millie Dillmount, a 22 year old woman, sets off to New York from Kansas with a plan — to find fortune and a man with money and prestige to marry. However, her mission is soon thwarted by a series of events. It's a 'boy meets girl' plot, but with a twist.
Throughly Modern Millie is a musical set in the 1920's, a time in history when the role of women in society was changing, – the modernization of women. It was during this time when the era of the 'new woman' began, due to the passing of the nineteenth amendment, which allowed women the right to vote.
From May 16 until May 19, Xtreme Theatre's senior cast will perform the six-time Tony Award winning Throughly Modern Millie.
"With a setting that plans to recreate the beauty and grandeur of the New York skyline, to over 100 costumes and authentic design-period pieces from the 20's, this year's play will be captivating to audiences of all ages." says the show's director, Lalainia Lindbjerg Strelau. Xtreme Theatre also plans to integrate tap dancing for the first time. "Learning how to tap dance was required of all our cast members; a majority of them have never tap danced in their lives", says Lindbjerg Strelau.
Sophie Heinrichs plays secretary Flannery and Quentin Foster plays an affluent businessman, Trevor Graydon. "Getting into character is not that easy," explains Heinrichs. Foster elaborates, "When creating a character for any show, every actor has to find the humanity behind their role."
And that is no easy task. It takes time, patience and open-mindness. The work for Throughly Modern Millie may seem tedious and intricate, yet Xtreme Theatre's dedication to excellence will be displayed on stage, once again. For more information visit www.xtremetheatre.ca.

Developing Your First Plan
Step 1 – A Planning Conversation is Organised
When your access to the NDIS is confirmed, you will be contacted by the NDIS and a planning conversation will be organised between you (or a nominated representative) and a National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) representative. For most people, that will be a Local Area Coordinator (LAC). When organising, here are some things you want to consider:
- time and date of your planning conversation
- whether you want to have the conversation over the phone or in person
- if you want to have the conversation in person – where you want to have it
Once your planning conversation is organised, it is time to prepare.
Step 2 – Preparing for your Planning Conversation – What to Expect
Planning conversations take on average 1-2 hours to complete and the representative will try to gather enough information from you to develop your first plan. Questions will be asked to:
- develop a comprehensive picture of you – the participant
- find out your short-term and long-term goals
- understand any current supports
- determine any gaps or unmet needs and how they link to your goals
- figure out what reasonable and necessary supports you may need
Now is the time to gather your family, friends and carers and have a discussion about what your goals might look like now and into the future.
Step 3 - Preparing for your Planning Conversation – Working Out Your Goals
Your goals form the basis of your first plan, and funding for your supports needs to be linked to identified outcomes in your plan. Now is the time to think big about what you want in life and see if there are any gaps or barriers to achieving those aspirations. When working out your goals, begin to assess parts of your life such as your:
- Home life – think about accessibility around the home, cleaning and maintenance or control over your home environment.
- Self-care – think about skin care, continence management or grooming.
- Health and well-being needs – think about diet and nutrition, exercise and health conditions
- Mobility – Think about your mobility around your home, your built environment as well as the actual equipment itself such as wheelchair needs
- Participation – Think about your everyday transport, interactions with the community, work, study and leisure activities.
- Relationships – Think about family, friends, intimacy and pets.
After thinking about your current situation, you can then start developing goals of where you want to go and the steps needed to achieve them. Funding allocated to you will:
- be associated with day-to-day living and activities that increase your social or economic participation
- be a resource or piece of equipment, such as wheelchair, assistive technology or home and car modifications, to help you live an ordinary life
- help you build the skills you need to live the life you want, such as opportunities to work, further your education, volunteer or learn something new.
This step is one of the most important in developing you first plan, which is why we have developed a handy preparation guide to help you through the process. To request a copy of the guide or to speak with someone about the process, please contact us by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling our NDIS hotline on 1300 662 822
Step 4 – Having the Planning Conversation
Before the planning conversation takes place, make sure you have:
- thought about your currents needs, future wants and goals and any gaps. Photos are a good way to present lifestyle information to the representative.
- all your documents ready, such as any paperwork, medical reports, education documents, work documents, supports and services quotes etc.
- somebody to support you during the conversation. A family member, friend or carer can help remind you of things you might forget to mention.
- thought about how you want to manage your plan.
For many people, this planning conversation will occur over the phone, however you may choose to make alternative arrangements. Remember, the most important thing is to have end goals in mind and frame your wants and needs to how they will match your goals. Below are some other tips to support a productive planning conversation:
- Ask the Local Area Coordinator (LAC) or the NDIA representative to read back your responses to ensure what you're saying is being correctly documented.
- Provide enough detail about your life without going into tangents.
- Make connections between how your requested supports will help you reach your goals.
- Ask for a copy of the plan being submitted.
If you want to speak with someone about what to expect in the planning conversation or any further tips, you can call our NDIS hotline on 1300 662 822
Step 5 – Getting Your First Plan
Once the planning conversation is completed, your NDIA representative or LAC will write up a plan to be approved. Once it has been approved and finalised, you will then work with somebody to implement the plan and put it into action. This may be through a Local Area Coordinator, a plan support coordinator or another party who will help you to connect with community and mainstream or funded supports.
If you have any questions regarding your NDIS plan, make sure you check out our Understanding Your NDIS Plan guide or give our NDIS hotline a call on 1300 662 822

Siberian-born Alissa Timoshkina has made it her mission to paint a "more authentic portrait" of Russian and Siberian cuisine beyond the stereotypical images of blinis with caviar or grey, lifeless plates of meat and cabbage.
It's quite an undertaking with pervasive images such as these. Separated into starters, sides and salads; soups; main dishes; pickles and ferments; desserts; and drinks; the more I read, the more intrigued I was by the culinary context in which Timoshkina sets her cookbook. Siberia is a vast region that, due to its size, extreme climate and history of resettlement and exile, has become a melting pot of culinary traditions, from Ukraine and the Caucasus to central Asia, Mongolia and Korea.
In some ways the books meets expectations, such as in the salmon and caviar blini cake recipe, with its thin lacy crêpes layered with fresh herbs, cucumber, salmon and caviar and smothered with cream cheese. But it was far less carnivorous than expected and many recipes, such as the traditionally meaty soup okroshka, have been given a vegetarian makeover.
The crayfish and spinach 'rice pudding' and bird cherry cake served with sour cream particularly piqued my interest, while the pan-fried cod on a vibrant red bed of pepper, carrot and tomato purée will quickly dispel any notion of Russian food being grey.
Salt & Time may contain plenty of cabbage, potatoes and beetroot, and numerous recipes rely on sauerkraut, kvass (a low-alcohol beer) or rassol (a type of pickling liquid) – fermentation being a means of coping with shortages during the long winters – but as well as celebrating traditional Russian food, it elevates it and lightens traditionally heavy dishes for the modern palate.
Timoshkina has lovingly curated Salt & Time, drawing on research, experience in hosting pop-ups and supper clubs, her own food memories and her family's culinary traditions, resulting in a book that celebrates the Russian kitchen while also providing a fresh perspective that infects even a cynical reader with enthusiasm.

New York ISPA Event: Spa Treatment Trends Indicate Customization Trumps Basic Massage, Pedicure, and Manicure
- Published: Monday, August 13th 2007
- in Living Well
As promised here are my thoughts regarding the presentations by the various vendors at the ISPA media event. Tomorrow I will talk about the research that was presented.
25 spas had booths each showcasing something special. I think that 25 might be a tad too many as I wasn't able to get around to see everything despite staying the entire time from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. I suppose I could have gone more quickly but everyone's booth seems to have interesting ways to keep you engaged. Here is what stood out to me:

POLAND: Economic Relations With the West
Some Polish economists are arguing that economic relatione ui'h the Ueet must be improved, but the Xetitethip seems unwilling to follow thie odvioe.
The economists have contendedecent series of press articles that Western sanctions are doing serious damage to the economy, that the government's response of depending on the East is unrealistic, and that Poland should take measures that would help persuade the Western countries to esse their sanctions. They argue thathave greatly reduced Poland*success to credits and have blocked economic recovery.
Poland has slashed imports from tho Westn the first quarter torade surplus and make Borne debt payments.esult, output ofgoods has continued to slump.
The articles also argue that reorienting trade toward the East isecause of Poland's heavy dependence on Wostern imports and the lack of substitutes in CEHA. overnment study claims that less thanercent of Industrial materials imported from the West could be replaced by the East. In addition, Poland is not receiving major assistance from CEHA partners, as had been hoped.

Despite the poor results of their economic policies, there is no indication that anyone in the leadership is participating in the debate.

This balance is a very important part of being successful at both family life and in your business life and will help you to reduce that amount of stress that you have in your life.

Here are a few tips on how to create a balance between home life and life at your managed office space.Learn to Prioritize
One of the best ways to start creating the balance is by making lists for yourself and prioritizing the tasks that you have before you each day because this will help you to accomplish more during your work day so you do not have to take it home with you. You need to also make priorities in your personal life so you don't let the work side take over completely. By making something as simple as a list can do wonders for helping you create at the right balance in your home and managed office space life.
Work from Home More
Another helpful way to start to create the balance needed in your life is by starting to work from home more and more, which is possible in this day and time with cloud computing and other helpful tools.

September 14, 2017 | Narrative
dark violet
sweetening memories
article by Sonya Bui, illustrated by Vincent Chen
we're living in a fucking
i say,
deliriously battered by the
summer haze;
"but what does it matter?"
picture us:
top-floor apartment
curtains closed shut
tricking ourselves we have
made the weather
our subordinate.
master manipulators
twist and turn
our glasses
of artificial wildberries
then imported,
our tongues
an acquired taste of summer,
our stories
since the dead
don't speak.
so then who cares (or remembers?) if
my grandpa was actually a dick
because my mother
still recalls him fondly.
i figured
it's easier to confess
in past tense
or when your blood is tainted;
then there would be no difference
between a revelation
having once fucked
a much older redhead
then suffering from ptsd
or that about
telling your mother
you wish you hadn't been born
oblivious of her threatened miscarriage.
really. no one cares.
whatever is done
is done.
we are
easily forgiven
blissfully hidden
in our brash recklessness
and idealistic trust
in the wrong people.
cling onto
the prettier pieces of our past
sweetening memories
and thinning them out
through polaroid frames
that are to be hung
on the walls of our dorm rooms.

New Year, New Laws for Illinois Residents
More than 200 new Illinois laws went into effect when the new year began, and some of them affect Chicago homeowners.
Here are some of the highlights:
*Homeowner and condo associations are now prohibited from prohibiting solar panels on a residence.
*All factory-built homes located on private property and not in mobile home parks will now be assessed and taxed as real properties, which means that mobile home owners could see a raise in their property taxes from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
*It is now illegal for Illinois residents to own a monkey or chimpanzee in their homes. Only facilities approved by state officials can house primates.
*Municipalities may not prohibit residents from placing political signs on their property.
*College fraternities and sororities built after January 1, 2011 will have to install automatic fire sprinkler systems, while older houses will have until 2019 to install them. College dorms are required to have automatic fire sprinkler systems by 2013.
*If you are caught speeding 30 miles an hour over the limit, you can now be fined $1,500 and spend six months in jail. At 40 over, the fine could be $2,500 and a year behind bars.
*There is now a ban on texting while driving and a ban on talking on a hand-held phone while driving in construction or school zones. Also, fees for annual license plate registration stickers and plates in Illinois will rise from $79 to $99.
*It is now against the law to make a fake 9-1-1 call.
*Existing home invasion and burglary offenses have been expanded to those who attempt to gain entrance into a home by misrepresenting themselves as a representative of government, a construction company, a telecommunication company or a utility company.
*Illinois residents are not allowed to knowingly sell any key, lock bumping key or lock pick specifically designed to break into a home, building or car.
There are many other Illinois laws now, including a limit on campaign contributions, a regulation on pet sales and the Blagojevich portrait law, which says that taxpayers will no longer pay for portraits of impeached governors. If future impeached governors want a portrait of themselves hung in the Hall of Governors, they will have to pay for it themselves.
So that's a load off our minds.

Can't let today go by without a big nod to Johann Sebastian Bach! What to say about one of the handful of truly transcendent musicians! I'll let him speak for himself. Here's a quote:
"The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the
glory of God and the refreshment of the soul. If heed is not paid to
this, it is not true music but a diabolical bawling and twanging."

Two women suspected of breaking into a Chinese man's house and stealing items worth almost P38, 000 appeared before Molepolole Chief Magistrate Linah Oahile-Mokibe last week.
The duo – 35-year-old Cinderella Malabola and Silvia Papa, 32, both from Mmopane – are said to have gained entry into Yu De's home on the night of June 13.
The two women are believed to have been accompanied by Oodi pair Molefe Mogatusi, 34, and Phemelo Mogapi, 43, during the burglary.
Together the four stole South African, US and Chinese currency, as well as cell phones, necklaces and wedding rings with a combined value of P37, 950.
The male suspects did not appear in court as they are currently on remand at Gaborone Central Prison – facing further robbery charges – with Lentsweletau Police unable to transport them to the hearing.
Mogatusi is a suspect in the 'Township Rollers robbery' in which thieves made off with over P200, 000 in gate takings and match tickets, stolen from the football club's treasurer, Minkie Molatlhegi.
The two women were granted bail, with all four suspects due to appear for the case's next mention, scheduled for 31 July.

Advent Meets Exodus- a Devotion (2/4)
"Born thy people to deliver…born to set thy people free." These words sung of Jesus in Charles Wesley's well-known Christmas hymn could as easily be sung of another baby, the one whose birth brightens the otherwise dismal opening to the book of Exodus. There we find the chosen people of God suffering as slaves at the hands of a Pharaoh who knew not their forefather Joseph, nor their Father God.
Their story is our story. We may not know their slavery, but we know their suffering and their groaning. As another familiar carol reminds, "Long lay the world in sin and error pining." But for those in Egypt, and for us, there is yet "a thrill of hope…a new and glorious morn." A Savior is born.
Exodus 2 brings the most welcome announcement: "The woman conceived and bore a son." (Ex. 2:2) But our soul only feels the worth of this event against the backdrop of Pharaoh's edict, recorded two verses earlier: "Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile…" (1:22) One chapter ends with the command to toss the newborn sons of Israel in the Nile, the next opens with the birth of a son who would be placed – not tossed – carefully in a basket in the Nile. The Hebrew woman's makeshift ark was not for his demise, but his deliverance.
To readers of the closing chapters of Genesis, the story unfolds in a very familiar way: a Hebrew boy in Egypt – destined for certain death, spared by God's good providence, and ultimately placed in the household of Pharaoh. So, the birth of Moses is the arrival of God's chosen deliverer, albeit an unlikely one. Israel's apparent rescuer – the one called to lead God's people from death to life – has taken the life of another. Not only a murderer, he's now also fleeing from both Pharaoh and his own people, having drawn the ire of both. Could this man possibly be the deliverer God was raising up?
As the curtain opens on the story of Exodus – the great departure – Moses is the only one departing, and it raises the question: has God Himself departed, thus abandoning His people and His promises? We must confess our ability to relate to the people of Israel. All too often we question God's timing, His presence, His faithfulness, even if only in the privacy of our hearts.
When the lights go down on Exodus 2 we see the people of God doing the only thing they can do: "the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help," (2:23). Then, in the very next sentence, a glimpse behind the curtain: "their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God…God heard… God remembered His covenant…God saw His people…and God knew." (2:24-25) After hundreds of years, the desperate prayers and pleas of God's people have intersected with His movement toward them. His answer had already come: "The woman conceived and bore a son."
The story of Israel in Exodus is not at all distant or unfamiliar. Even as Israel was trapped in bondage to a wicked master in a pagan land facing inevitable death, all of humanity is trapped in bondage to sin, facing the inevitable wages of our sin, death. Until the fullness of time, when God's Deliverer would come, born of a woman, born to "save His people from their sins." (Mt. 1:21) This time an angel brings the good news: "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." (Luke 2:11)
Unlike Moses, this Deliverer was not at all reluctant, nor ill-equipped. He was ready and willing to lay down His perfect life as a substitute for us, so that we might be set free. In Exodus, the cries of God's people had already been answered with the cries of a baby, and the deliverance that followed would result in cries of agony throughout all Egypt. Centuries later, deliverance would come once for all, again with the cries of a baby, but followed this time by a single cry from the cross: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mt. 27:46) This Deliverer would not be spared; He would bear the full weight of the Father's wrath in our place. The blood of the true Passover Lamb would be spilled out so that by it we might be delivered from death to life. In the words of Wesley's carol, He would "from our fears and sins release us," not to find rest from the cruel labor of Egypt, but in order that we might find "find our rest in Thee."
This is the story of our exodus. And it serves for us as the definitive proof that God does not stand far off from our suffering, nor turn a deaf ear to our groaning. He has heard and He has intervened. Indeed, He has drawn near. God the Son took on human flesh, He is Immanuel, God with us. Our Deliverer has come. How will He not also graciously give us all things?
When Moses returned to Egypt, Israel knew their deliverer had arrived: "The people believed; and when they heard that the LORD had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed their heads and worshiped." (Ex. 4:31)
Having seen our Deliverer, we too bow in worship. The original words of Placide Cappeau's O Holy Night resonate deeply in the hearts of the redeemed:
The Redeemer has broken all shackles
The earth is free and heaven is open
He sees a brother where there was once but a slave;
Love unites those who restrain the sword.
Who will tell Him our gratitude?
It is for us all that He was born, that He suffered and died.
People, stand up, sing your deliverance!
Christmas! Christmas! Let us sing the Redeemer!
Indeed, let all that is within us praise His holy name!

Renfrewshire's annual memorial service to commemorate those who have lost their lives to suicide will be held in Paisley later this month.
Support group Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (SOBS) will host a short service open to all on Thursday 24 January at Renfrewshire House.
Anyone who has been affected by suicide is invited to meet at the Marriage Suite from 3:15pm to collect a commemorative purple heart on which they can write a message to a loved one, if so desired.
At 3:30pm there will be a short set of readings, followed by a procession to the memorial tree where Renfrewshire's Provost Lorraine Cameron will lay a wreath and light the tree.
Anyone unable to attend the service who wishes a message to be placed onto the tree can get in touch in advance or can visit the council reception at any time following the service to collect a commemorative heart.
After the service, all those in attendance are invited to join the Provost, the local SOBS support group and the Choose Life team for light refreshments in Paisley Abbey.
Provost Cameron, who helped establish the memorial tree in 2010, said: "This service has become extremely important to members of the local community who have been affected by the loss of a loved one to suicide and I will be honoured to lay a wreath.
"If you've been affected by suicide in any manner, please come along and take part in the service. The team will be available for a chat and can provide you with the support you, or a friend or family member, needs to move forward.
"If you're unable to make it along on the day, please get in touch to talk about what you are feeling or what support you need - don't suffer in silence."
The memorial tree was first dedicated in 2010 as a permanent memorial to those who have died through suicide and is believed to have been the first of its kind in Scotland.
The service aims to provide an opportunity to remember those who have been lost while providing an arm of support to the survivors. It is an opportunity to connect with others who have faced similar situations.
If you are feeling suicidal, or you know someone that might be then please call one of the helpline numbers: Samaritan's 116 123, Breathing Space 0800 83 85 87, RAMH First Crisis 0141 849 90 90 or 0500 829 093

"Aamire & Hirani creates yet another memorable movie!!!"
Bollywood stars are known for their preference for certain festivals for the release of their movies be it Id, Diwali etc. Among the Khans, Aamir has always had a predilection for X'mas which has seen many of his releases in the recent past such as "3 Idiots" & "Dhoom 3". The latest to join that list is Rajkumar Hirani's "PK" whose films apart from being clean entertainers has always been blockbusters. So naturally there's a palpable amount of hype & expectations over "PK" but will it be able to match the the benchmark they had set in "3 Idiots"???
An alien (Aamir Khan) had landed on Earth or rather more specifically in the dust bowls of Rajasthan in his birthsuit. But even before he gets accustomed to the bearings around him, he is robbed of his pendant which happened to be the transmitter to signal his spaceship. In due time, he becomes to be known as PK (as people thought he was tipsy), learns to converse through the use of his super-natural powers & befriends Bhairon Singh (Sanjay Dutt), a band master who helps him to adjust to his new environment.On the advise of Bhairon, PK lands in New Delhi in search of his pendant & that's when he catches the eye of Jaggu (Anushka Sharma), a TV reporter who promises to help him out. So will PK get his pendant back & if so, at what cost???
Almost 5 years have passed since Rajkumar Hirani had made his presence felt, but the wait was definitely worth it as he has come back with a bang. All of his movies have been satires that dealt with insecurities & adversities that people face in their lives either due to corruption, educational pressure etc . The same holds true here as well as this time around he has taken on the fake godmen that swarm our society. Though Paresh Rawal's "Oh My God" had a similar storyline & felt more impressional, "PK" too has its moments in its own way especially in the first half which really hooks us on; for which the screenplay by Abhijit Joshi & Hirani deserves praise. The music by the trio of Ajay Atul, Shantanu Moitra & Ankit Tiwari was impressive while the visuals by Muraleedharan was fine.
Aamir Khan is the heart & soul of the movie and he was bang on in the portrayal of the character. His peculiar looks, weird attire & queer running style all added on to his performance making it undoubtedly one of the best characters that he has ever portrayed. Anushka Sharma was equally impressive & makes her presence felt with a meaty role at her disposal. Boman Irani was wasted, Sanjay Dutt was endearing while Saurabh Shukla & Sushanth Singh have done justice to their roles. As for Ranbir Kapoor, he brought the roof down with a cameo.
Verdict: The film is expected to do brisk business at the box office considering the team that was behind the venture. In addition, the film has also lived upto Hirani's USP by being both humorous yet introspective to the vices around us. Though the second half especially the climax lacked the expected punch it's definitely one of the best movies to have released this year, so dont miss it!!!

In contemporary physics elementary particles are classified by energy, live time and other properties. In contradiction to this very basic principle of contemporary physics, this article proposes a new concept that particles in the gravitation field like in the electric field have allowed energy levels. Only four elementary particles, i.e., electron, proton, photon and neutrino are in the ground state. They are intrinsically elementary particles. All other particles are excited states of said intrinsic particles in the gravitation field of Earth.

Home, sweet home! It is very important to know how to create comfort and cosiness in your home. The overall atmosphere of your apartment can recharge you with new powers and positive emotions for the day. Sometimes, after a long and exhausting working Friday, the only thing we dare to dream about is the following weekend, which we have planned to spend with our closest friends and family. We want to be able to rest and relax. Here are some useful tips on how to make your apartment a better and cozier place.
Slip covers and blankets.
One of the fastest and most efficient ways of improving the overall interior of your home is to choose the right furniture upholstery. Slip covers are a great decorating idea since it is very easy to maintain them clean. Also, they can be changed quite easily, so there is no chance for you to get bored of the old-fashioned patterns. Besides, a few colourful pillowcases and a couple of chair slip covers will immediately change the interior of your living room. As for the blanket – during the cold months they are a great addition to your furniture decoration and will fill your home with warmth and comfort.
More colours
No body likes big, blank, white walls. They are boring and pretty depressing. Besides, most people tend to associate them with hospital. If you want to provide a cozy atmosphere in your home, you will have to choose some bright, fancy colours. Let your imagination fly and combine them according your own preferences. Another great idea is to use some wall art home decoration. If you are a creative and artistic person, you can look up in the Internet for some inspiring suggestions. Wall prints, wallpapers, stickers – it is all up to you.
Organic decorations
It is not always necessary to decorate your home with flowers and fruit. In fact, any natural accent can turn into a great detail and even a focal point in your living room, the bedroom and even the kitchen. You can combine, for instance, small pebbles with some wooden elements or oak leaves. This plain beauty will create a really relaxing atmosphere an bring nature into your home.
Organize your home
According to all design interior experts, there are two main factors, which are very essential for the cozy and comfortable home – cleanliness and, of course, proper organization. Only when everything is exactly where it is supposed to be and you have arranged your home in the most functional way, you will be able to feel completely comfortable and satisfied. For example, if the space in your apartment is limited, you will have to consider very carefully the type (and, of course the size) of your furniture. The dining table, the traffic area, the library (if you have one). Everything has to be chosen very wisely. In such cases, too much decoration is very inappropriate.
Is there anything more romantic that a few aromatic candles, beautifying your coffee table? Of course, such type of decoration is only a small part of the overall interior of you home. But if you think for a while, it is a great addition to your living room.

This is actually my favorite romance trope of all time. I'm a complete sucker for characters who loathe each other beyond reason but end up falling passionately in love. I think it's hilarious, especially when the characters are in denial of their feelings, and I'd just sitting there like, "Yeah, no. You looooove them. L-O-V-E. LOVE them." Gah. I'm trash. Don't think I'd ever get tired of this type of romance.
Anastasia Romanov and Dimitri (Anastasia the Movie)
So my only non-book couple on this list. Anastasia is one of my favorite non-Disney animated movies. I'm pretty sure for most people, this was their first ever hate-to-love ship too. Unless most people haven't seen the movie… in which case, you really should cause this movie is great! Anya and Dimitri dislike each other from the minute they meet and spend a good chunk of the movie getting on each other's nerves.
Joshua Templeman and Lucinda Hutton (The Hating Game by Sally Thorne)
These two might be one of the cutest pairs I've read about. I'm not a huge fan of contemporary books so I get really picky about them but I'm so, so glad I gave this one a shot! Josh and Lucy's antics are hilarious and adorable at the same time. Their relationship in general is a such a delight, and is one of the more well-written and realistically developed romances I've seen in contemporary!
Iseult det Midenzi and Aeduan (Truthwitch by Susan Dennard)
Safi and Merik, stand aside. I haven't read Windwitch yet so I don't know how their relationship currently stands but damn. That tension. That slow burn. I was shipping them like crazy after that scene at the beach. And then they had another ~special~ moment when they were hiding from the Cleaved (if you've read the book, you'd know which part I'm talking about *wink wink*).
Nina Zenik and Matthias Helvar (Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo)
Surprise, surprise! Once again, Leigh Bardugo's work has made it on my list. I am Helnik trash. This ship is brimming with tension and pain and unending heartbreak. I haven't recovered from it, and I don't think I ever will. I can't even begin to describe how much I love these two and their beautiful, angst-filled relationship.
Beatrice and Benedick (Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare)
"Benedick: God keep your ladyship still in that mind! so some gentleman or other shall 'scape a predestinate scratched face.
Beatrice: Scratching could not make it worse, an 'twere such a face as yours were."
Never fails to make me laugh. Honestly, it's nearly impossible to not laugh when it comes to these two. Beatrice and Benedick are hilarious and entertaining, right from their very first interaction up to their last. They're the reason why Much Ado About Nothing is my second favorite Shakespeare play. With all that witty banter, there's just never a dull moment between them.

Dress codes decoded
It's hard enough to pick an outfit let alone having to figure out what the dress code means and what you have in your wardrobe to match.
As I continue planning my wedding, I've had to pick a dress code and realised it's not as simple as the task seems.
So here are the main dress codes decoded.
Black tie: While for men it's a tuxedo, it's a little more complicated for us ladies. It usually means a floor length gown in black or muted tones as seen on Blake Lively. Depending on the time of day for the event, you could rock a jumpsuit but go for something more understated like black or white, rather than something with patterns or flowers which will turn it a little more casual.
Formal: There is the opportunity to be a little daring and do something a little different with this code. It can be a dress with some embellishment, but nothing too over the top or a longer dress with a thigh high split like Kendall Jenner. Red is always a winner and you can't go wrong with black.
Lounge suit: This calls for a formal gown that can be floor length or a little shorter, depending on the type of event. The dress code for my wedding is lounge suit and it is totally fine for the women to wear something long or short but anything mid thigh might be a encroaching on the cocktail dress.
Cocktail: A floor length dress doesn't fit the bill here. Go for a short dress or, like Olivia Palermo, something that hits the ankles. There can be an element of fun with this code, like Taylor Swift rocking a pattern. You can also go for a block colour dress with statement jewellery or shoes. If in doubt, go the little black dress.
Casual: The key here is comfort so think jeans, shorts, a t-shirt and sneakers. Pair it with a really fabulous bag like Selena Gomez has to add a level of class.

Kei Nishikori, Andy Murray, Jelena Jankovic Make 2011 Coaching PlansDecember 23, 2010
A good coach can make all the difference in the world for a tennis player, and a coaching change can be a great way to start the New Year. Kei Nishikori hired Brad Gilbert. Andy Murray decided to keep Alex Corretja. After a difficult 2010 season, Jelena Jankovic is trying out Andrei Pavel.
Japanese player Kei Nishikori is currently 98th in the world in singles and has been in the top 60. At 21 years old—the same age Andy Roddick was when he worked with Brad Gilbert—Nishikori plans to have Gilbert travel with him as well as his full-time coach, Dante Bottini. Gilbert has also coached high-profile players Andre Agassi and Andy Murray. He plans to begin training Nishikori for the Aircel Chennai Open on January 3 and balance his role as an ESPN tennis broadcaster.
Nishikori is excited to have Gilbert on his team and said, "Brad's knowledge as a former top player, as well as his coaching success, is something that can help me become a better player."
Speaking of Brad Gilbert's former coach-ees, Andy Murray decided to stick with Coach Corretja after looking for a coach the last couple of months after firing Miles Maclagan. He plans to keep him around at least until Wimbledon. Murray plans to work with both Corretja and Dani Vallverdu with no intention to appoint a full-time and permanent coach any time soon. Murray will start the New Year by playing in the Hopman Cup.
Former World No. 1 Jelena Jankovic dropped to eighth in 2010 and ended the season in poor health. She decided to hire on Andei Pavel, who was the former world No. 13 and won nine ATP singles and doubles titles, on a trial basis. On January 9, she will begin the 2011 season in Sydney with Coach Pavel by her side.
"I'm hoping to train hard and start the 2011 season strong—I'm always trying to be a better player and I'm really looking forward to the new season," Jankovic said on her official website.

FamilyTreeDNA feels free to share my genetic profile with police
Personal Experience
A few years ago, my interest in family history lead me to purchase genetic-genealogical services from FamilyTreeDNA. In 2018, FTDNA secretly agreed to allow the FBI to access its database of 2 million records to identify suspects and victims of unsolved rapes and murders.
In a statement to ABC Eyewitness News, the FTDNA said:
"FamilyTreeDNA's autosomal database is accessible to users in one of two ways. They can purchase a Family Finder test, or if they have an acceptable file, they can upload their autosomal DNA data for free. A user and their match must both have matching turned to see each other's profile in their matches list. The information shared between matches is limited and dependent on the user's sharing preferences and the information they provide in their account settings. In no circumstance is a user's raw data accessible to other users, including law enforcement.
"With FamilyTreeDNA's database, as with other databases similar to ours, law enforcement is capable of uploading genetic files and searching for DNA "relatives," to assist them in their efforts to identify the remains of deceased individuals and suspected killers and perpetrators of sexual assault."
In an email to me and other users on February 3, 2019, the FTDNA's founding president, Bennett Greenspan, defended his company's agreement, but apologized for not disclosing it at the time:
"Dear Customers:
"I am writing to address the news that our Gene-by-Gene laboratory, which processes genetic tests for several commercial clients in addition to all of the FamilyTreeDNA tests, has processed a handful of DNA samples for cold cases from the F.B.I. In many cases, the news reports contained false or misleading information.
"Let me start with this categorical statement:
"They cannot search or 'dig through' FTDNA profiles any more than an ordinary user can. As with all other genetic genealogy services, law enforcement must provide valid legal process, such as a subpoena or search warrant to receive any information beyond that which any other user can access.
"I have been an avid genealogist since I was twelve years old. FamilyTreeDNA is not just a business, it is my passion. I fully understand your privacy concerns on a personal level.
"Law enforcement has the ability to test DNA samples from crime scenes and upload the results into databases, like any other customer can, and it appears they have been doing it at other companies for the past year. The distinction is that, according to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, we expect the FBI and law enforcement agencies to let us know when they submit something to our database. We moved to something transparent, rather than having them work in a stealthy way. Other than that, nothing changed that affects the privacy of our customers.
"FamilyTreeDNA has always taken your privacy seriously and will continue to do so. We've remained steadfast, always, refusing to sell your data to pharmaceutical companies and other third parties.
"One of the key reasons law enforcement wanted to submit their samples to us is the same reason many of you have: out of all the major companies, FamilyTreeDNA is the only one that has its own lab, and our customers' samples never leave our company.
"As previously stated, law enforcement can only receive information beyond that which is accessible to the standard user by providing FamilyTreeDNA with valid legal process, such as a subpoena or a search warrant. Again, this is specified in FamilyTreeDNA's Terms of Service, just as with all other companies.
"The Terms of Service were changed in May of 2018 to reflect GDPR requirements, and we informed our customers about the update at that time. Those changes included a paragraph that required law enforcement to receive our permission to enter the database and since it was a part of the overall update, notice was sent to every FTDNA customer. Without infringing upon our customers' privacy, the language in the paragraph referring to law enforcement was updated in December, although nothing changed in the actual handling of such requests. It was an oversight that notice of the revision was not sent to you and that is our mistake. Therefore, we are reverting our TOS to our May 2018 version, and any future changes will be communicated to you in a timely manner.
"This is the May 2018, GDPR-compliant version, communicated to you at that time: 'You agree to not use the Services for any law enforcement purposes, forensic examinations, criminal investigations, and/or similar purposes without the required legal documentation and written permission from FamilyTreeDNA.'
"I am genuinely sorry for not having handled our communications with you as we should have.
"We've received an incredible amount of support from those of you who believe this is an opportunity for honest, law-abiding citizens to help catch bad guys and bring closure to devastated families. We want you to understand, as many of you already do, that you have the same protections that you've always had and that you have nothing to fear.
"We've also heard from supporters offering ideas and solutions to make the FamilyTreeDNA experience a more comfortable one in light of this new information.
"We are listening. Our plan is to create a panel of citizen genealogist advisors who will work with us as we focus on how to make your FamilyTreeDNA experience the best one available."
The news underscored the lack of universal regulations governing direct-to-consumer genetic testing in the United States and how companies can use their data without consumers' knowledge.
"It's a good example of, are you willing to stay abreast of every terms of service change with FamilyTreeDNA, or are you doing it once because it was a holiday present?" Erin E. Murphy, a professor at New York University School of Law who wrote the book "Inside the Cell: The Dark Side of Forensic D.N.A.," said in an interview.
"Even if you were reading all of your spam email about all the privacy changes, did you get one that says you have agreed to be the FBI.'s testing lab? No, they did not issue that," Ms. Murphy said.
Alan Butler, the senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center, described the situation as "'bait and switch' behavior that consumer protection laws are meant to prohibit."
"The company needs to either roll back the change or else delete all stored DNA data it has collected from individuals under the previous agreement," Mr. Butler said.
The company has not disclosed how many cases it has worked on, but Mr. Greenspan said in the email to users that it was "a handful of DNA samples for cold cases from the F.B.I." .
While investigators have used open-source sites such as GEDmatch to find DNA matches and possible relatives, the agreement with FTDNA includes the first known commercial site to provide some services without a subpoena or warrant.

In retrospect, this is the official summer of change. I gripe on often about how everything with people seems to change every two years. Well, things which don't change, for me, with much regularity have been turned on their side.
It all began early in the year when I started sending out resumes. After a decade of the same company, a career which started as grunt data clean up, ending with a fancy VP title, I was ready for a change. With this company I had security, and likely could have stayed until the day the owner decides to retire or sell. The problem, aside from being so ingrained in the work that I could perform in my sleep, there was no trill left, no challenge. Every single day was the same step and repeat.
Credit to anyone who has gone through the job search and interview process. I sent out hundreds of resumes, literally. For the small number of replies returned, there were many wishing me well with their disinterest. I did find a place to start a new career, far far away on the West Coast. It wouldn't be me if there weren't unusual circumstances. It seems my fate to never live in the same city as the company for which I am employed. Happy to shed the VP title for something more down to Earth, I'm getting a rather heavy dose of reality. Do you know what it's like to go from knowing everything about a business to virtually nothing? It's a kick in the sack for an overachiever. Feeling stupid is the worst! Even if I'm told to lighten up on the intensity I place upon me.
If a career shift, and learning an entirely new industry weren't enough, I sort of moved. As previously posted, I'm shacking up with Baltimore in Baltimore. [I know, the nickname needs a rework.] The intent, to rent my place in Puerto Rico. It's a little weird living between two places, one being home, the other not feeling like it's really home. Oh! Let's not forget this is the first time I'm cohabiting. Living with another person is weird. They are there all the time. Like – all of the time. No alone time. Anyone else get edgy if they aren't alone for several hours a day?
All of these are good things by conventional standards. I'm sure most people would be happy with the job, the relationship, a place to live. I am, but also, it would kind of be nice to be the crazy kid running around NYC for a little longer. Everything is so serious now. It's work and life, life and work. It's probably too late to opt out of adulting at this point. Bring on the next life pressure!
