Lindsey Graham: 'I blame Obama for Iraq, not Bush'
Blame President Barack Obama, not his predecessor, for the turmoil in Iraq, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told New Hampshire's WMUR.com.
The Iraq war began in 2003, led by President George W. Bush. It ended in December, 2011, during Obama's presidency. Graham is considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination, and spoke as his potential rivals weighed in on whether they would have authorized American involvement in the war.
"I blame Obama for Iraq, not Bush," Graham said as he toured New Hampshire. "Bush made mistakes. He corrected his mistakes. Obama leaving Iraq, ignoring the advice of all of his military commanders –he was told what would happen if you leave Iraq with no troops left behind."
Graham, a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Bush invaded Iraq with "faulty intelligence...but with intelligence the entire world believed. So when you look at the mistakes of Iraq, the one I blame the most is Barack Obama, not George W. Bush."
Graham also told WMUR.com he's now "99.9 percent" certain he'll run for president, though he would not confirm reports that he'll do so on June 1.

Karateka - Review
It's a finicky thing trying to update a decades old game for a modern audience. On the one hand you're presumably trying to preserve the essence of the original, but on the other times have changed and games that were once incredible are often astoundingly simple compared to what developers are now capable of. And so there's a fine line to ride between recreating outdated mechanics and deviating so heavily that the result bears little resemblance to its forbearer.
Karateka, and complete remake of the Apple II game of the same name, falls on the side of defiantly indulging in a wholesale recreation of its former self. The visuals may be drastically improved by way of a slick (if somewhat washed out) cel-shaded look, but the core of the same is still the same rhythm based fighter it always was, and therein lies the problem.
I don't think Karateka is bad, it's just as entirely one-note as the now three decade old original, and wears out its welcome just as quickly as you'd expect. Though it resembles a fighting game, Karateka is far closer to a rhythm game. Attacking and blocking relies on proper timing and attention to visual cues, but there's little player agency beyond reacting to the Simon-says feedback the game is giving you.
The idea is actually one I find pretty neat as a fan of rhythm games, and I was enjoying Karateka for at least the first handful of fights. But nothing ever changes beyond the simple fights your put through to learn how to play, save the timing becoming more difficult to discern, and even at less than an hour-long I was ready for Karateka to hurry up and end before it was even halfway through.
Final Word
The repetition is grating and the game's refusal to acknowledge and react to it frustrating. It's not a game without merit, it just doesn't know what to do with itself. That it's constructed around a groan worthy damsel-in-distress plot, which culminates in the woman you're rescuing effectively becoming your own prisoner, is only more bothersome and shows a hesitancy for Karateka to move past its archaic beginning. I'm not exactly sure who this version of Karateka is for, but as someone without any amount of nostalgia for the first it clearly wasn't me.
Karateka is available on PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3.

Retailer joins Phones 4U, O2 and Three in announcing it will sell the 41 megapixel smartphone
Carphone Warehouse has confirmed it will stock the Nokia Lumia 1020 when it is released in the UK in September.
The retailer joins Phones 4U, O2 and Three, who yesterday all announced they will be selling the latest addition to the manufacturer's smartphone range.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 was unveiled at the Nokia's 'Zoom Reinvented' launch event in New York yesterday.

This year's trip to Snowdonia was again based on the campsite alongside the A5 between Betws-y Coed and Capel Curig. On arrival on Thursday evening we found several members pitching their tents, and others having arrived on Wednesday, were settled in and had already done a days climbing.
Friday morning saw a relatively early start with breakfast soon on the go, but a problem, which seems to be making its way south, developed. A plague of midges. The only cure seems to be if the wind blows. It stayed calm.
Parties headed off in various directions, my group deciding on Tremadog.
Arriving at the car park the café proved too great an attraction, so a cup of tea before starting seemed the thing to do. Last time I was here, the café was up for sale, but there was Eric Jones, its famous owner looking as spry as ever, and his name still on the sign board.
Suitably refreshed, we headed into the trees looking for the starts of our chosen climbs, which can sometimes be a bit of a problem at Tremadog. Gill and I had decided on One Step In The Clouds, this having a thin, exposed third pitch of great character, so much so that a picture of it is on the front cover of the guide book. Following the climb, a descent of the steep twisty path brought us out in front of the café, so the prospect of second cup of tea and a bun lured us in.
A short drive and walk then took us to the Upper Tier, where some single pitch climbs were tackled. The return to the cars was followed by another short drive and a third visit to Eric's café. A good day.
On Saturday, the whole party which now included Nick, assembled at Carreg Wastad in the Llanberis Pass. Memories of this day will, I think, be coloured by how wet any individual got. This varied from a bit damp, to soaked to the skin while still on the route. This could be described as character building (or not). A meal in the Tyn -y-Coed rounded off the day.
Sunday and we again set off in various directions, my party aiming for Clogwy Cryau above Betws-y Coed. The expedition could not be described as a total success . One individual went to the wrong car park and had to go to the gear shop to buy the guide book to get directions to the crag. The rest of the party left the correct car park but proceeded to get lost on the walk in, finding itself deep in a forest unable to see the wood for the trees. Your correspondent must take responsibility for the error in navigation. Eventually we all met up at the crag and proceeded to get geared up. It then started to rain!! That was it, ropes were recoiled and the retreat sounded.
At least the drive home was uneventful, and I think that in spite of a few issues (primarily the weather), everyone had enjoyed the trip.

Everyone Desires Success.
Philippians 3:10-14
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Everyone desires success. Simply wanting it, however, won't guarantee achievement. That's why many people fail to reach their goal: They encounter hardship and give up.
So let's discuss one characteristic needed to accomplish what you set out to do: Persistence is the combination of strong desire and willpower. Paul exemplified this capacity to stay on course in the face of difficulty and refuse to quit. He was passionate about sharing the gospel with both Jews and Gentiles across the known world. Acts 20:24 records his purpose: "That I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God." Though he encountered tremendous obstacles like shipwreck, prison, physical punishment, and constant danger, the apostle never quit (2 Corinthians 11:23-28).
What motivated Paul to persevere amidst struggles?
First, he had a clear God-given goal and trusted that the Lord would enable him to achieve it.
Second, the apostle felt indebted to share the life-changing truth of salvation.
Third, he knew the devastation awaiting those who do not know Jesus.
Paul had his eyes fixed on his purpose, which he so valued that no circumstance could deter him. Ultimately, he achieved what almighty God had ordained.
The Father has great goals for His children. Striving for anything less will neither fulfill us nor achieve what He's planned in our life. Once His direction is clear, we should passionately pursue God's purposes with the Holy Spirit's strength and guidance—especially when obstacles arise. Don't give up!
Bible in One Year: John 12-13

Orange distributor Midland Communications has relaunched fixed line broadband for its dealers to sell after withdrawing the product from its portfolio due to a slump in sales, following a series of problems to Orange's broadband network.
The broadband is available on four tariffs and provides customers with speeds of up to 20 Mbps and a free wireless router which can handle traffic from six different computers.
Tariffs range between £7 to £20.50 per month. The lowest tariff comes with unlimited evening and weekend calls or for £9 per month, customers can keep their existing BT tariff. For £16.50 customers can move their line to Orange to be charged on one bill. Lastly, for £21, customers receive free landline calls and international calls to 30 countries.
Midland sales manager Peter Liley (pictured) said: "We removed Orange broadband for several months as customers experienced problems with it, which affected sales volumes.
"Orange has rectified the problems so we are confident that our dealers can now sell on the service and be assured that it is at the high quality they expect. It is an excellent opportunity for our partners to offer additional products to their existing Orange customers as well as new customers coming on to the network.
"They can make a good profit promoting these packages to businesses also."

So the next time you need to find something online, please use http://finchleyarrow.easysearch.org.uk and raise money for Finchley Arrow with every search you make.
Raise money for your own "not-for-profit"
Naturally, we understand if you have a favourite not-for-profit who you would rather help than the Finchley Arrow, but if they aren't on the Easyfundraising website and you want them to join, ask them; but ask them to use http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/referral/32194 to set themselves up.
This will ensure that we get a "thank you" of 20% of what your own charity raises – for ever – for referring another not-for-profit organisation. This is not taken out of your other organisations funding but is entirely over and above what they raise and, if you don't use our link to set them up, Easyfundraising will just pocket the extra cash. Now neither of was want that, do we?

This time we focus on some of this year's Oscar nominated movies:
1) Room (Lenny Abrahamson)
Starring: Brie Larson, Jacob Tremblay, Joan Allen
Run Time: 117 mins
Full review coming soon! But is well worth the watch, it really is fantastic.
2) The Big Short (Adam McKay)
Starring: Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt, Finn Whitrock and so many other people
Run Time: 130 mins
Everyone knows something about the financial crisis that caused a world wide economic depression. Trouble is, not many people actually understand it properly. It is a world full of abbreviations, short hand and percentages; difficult for an outsider to engage with. This is why Adam McKay, a comedy director, succeeds so well with this film. He uses a stylish, quirky and self aware touch to step away mid-scene and explain the jargon. Be it a lay-man's definition bottom screen, Selena Gomez playing blackjack with one of the US's leading economic minds or Margot Robbie in a bath sipping champagne. These little touches not only bring light relief but also show McKay's desire to educate AND entertain without dumbing the film down.
The performances a excellent, all featuring the mannerisms and imperfections of the real-life people. The two real stand outs are Christian Bale as Dr. Mike Berry, a socially awkward but exceptionally intelligent investor with a passion for heavy metal, and Mark Baum, a hedge fund manager full of cynicism and rage following a personal tragedy.
The film excels in the later stages when all the stories start to come together. Due to the excellent direction of McKay who had to manage so many stories and characters whilst discussing such a complex subject.
This may not be your favourite film ever or a huge block buster. What this is, however, is a smart, slickly edited, sharply scripted and gleefully eccentric film that educates without lecturing and judgement.
VERDICT: "Truth is like poetry. And most people fucking hate poetry.", overhead at a Washington, D.C . bar. (On screen quote from the movie)
3) Spotlight (Tom McCarthy)
Starring: Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams
Run Time: 129 mins
Full review coming soon but definitely worth a watch!
4) The Hateful 8 (Quentin Tarantino)
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russel, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demien Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern and Channing Tatum
Run Time: 167 mins
This film see bounty hunters John "The Hangman" (Russell) and Major Marquis (Jackson) get trapped at Minnie's Haberdashery, with 5 other curious people, during a blizzard while on route to deliver Daisy Domergue (Leigh) to hang.
This film is classic Tarantino with striking cinematography, the exterior shots of snowy Colorado in particular alongside the thoughtfully constructed interior of Minnie's. All backed up by a typically clever script, accompanied by a beautiful and eclectic score (from Ennio Morricone). This film is tense and exciting not in spite of but because the film is predominantly dialogue. You hang on every word trying to figure out which one of these terrible people is telling the truth, if any! Now, this being Tarantino, there is some ridiculous graphic violence which, although, few and far between may be a bit much for some but provides an intense serge of energy. Also the film is a little too long, thoroughly enjoyable throughout but maybe 20 minutes could have been cut?
Now while this is not Tarantino's best film it is a strong addition to his canon, even on the boldness of having nearly all of the film shot in one room! It must also be said that the acting is superb especially Samuel L. Jackson, Walton Goggins and Jennifer Jason Leigh; they are dark, crazy, unsettling and hilarious in one.
VERDICT: "Starting to see pictures, ain't ya?"… The difference in context between this line in the film and the trailer beggars belief!
And because I haven't yet seen "The Revenant"…
5) The Wolf Of Wall Street (Martin Scorcese)
Starring: Leonardo Di Caprio (see there is a link), Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Kyle Chandler
Run Time: 180 minutes
Based on the real life of Jordan Belfort a New York stockbroker who built a hugely successful company on the back of copious amounts of corruption, fraud … and drugs.
There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said. This movie ranges from hilarious, offensive, seductive and disturbing. Helmed by the constantly brilliant Scorcese and great performances from the entire cast. Plus an Australian giving a convincing Long Island accent.
The film did receive plenty of criticism for among other things (deep breath):
- Moral ambiguity
- Glorification of excess and corruption
- Explicit nudity and sexual content
- Explicit drug use
- Combinations of the previous two points
- Jonah Hill having a real goldfish in his mouth
- Dwarf tossing
- Profanity – the F word is said a staggering 569 times throughout the film, a rate 0f 3.16 f**ks a minute.
Despite never running out of steam, at 180 minutes, the film is a little too long. Other than that it was a thoroughly enjoyable! Although, I did feel a little dirty afterwards.
Until next time!

NFL 2014: Our Five Best Bets for Week #11
As a side-note for those of you in Fantasy Leagues, remember that this is the last week for making trades in most leagues. Good luck to all… Here now are this week's Five Best Bets.
*Home team in CAPS
BROWNS -3 over the Texans- For Cleveland and their fans, this week is one of historic proportions as it is the first time a Browns team has been in first place in the AFC North this late in the season in 20 years! With quarterback Ryan Mallett making his first NFL start for the Texans, we're surprised the spread is as small as it is especially with a banged up Arian Foster and Jadeveon Clowney.
Falcons (pick) over the PANTHERS- Normally the Falcons aren't a good bet when on the road but besides beating the Buccaneers by 10 last Sunday, Atlanta is just a better team than Carolina who is coming off of a 24 point loss…

The Cowboys Don't Need Dez Bryant
One Sports Writer's Opinion.....
In this sports writer's opinion, the Dallas Cowboys don't need Dez Bryant. Don't get me wrong, Bryant is a very important part of the Dallas offense, but is he more important than Demarco Murray or Tony Romo? NO
I don't think the Cowboys would have a problem paying Bryant the money he is asking for if it wasn't for his off the field troubles. Reports are that the police has shown up at his house several times over the years including an incident involving his mother.
But make no mistake, he can be replaced and I got just the replacement for him; Amari Cooper of Alabama.
Cooper is the best wide receiver in college football and he also seems to have little to no baggage. I can see a scenario where the Cowboys in a blockbuster trade, get rid of Bryant to move up in the draft to get Cooper…

1.What can I afford?
As a first time buyer it is important to know exactly how much money you can borrow for your new home, and most importantly what you can afford. This mean you aren't wasting valuable time viewing houses that are out of your price range! It avoids any disappointment and ensures you focus on what could become the perfect purchase.
2.What documents do you need?
You'll almost always need to have these documents to hand when completing your mortgage application:
3.What is your credit score?
If you've any concerns about your credit rating, find out what it is. If there is a credit rating error or if the score is far from ideal, it is easier to fix it before your perfect home has been found, rather than trying to deal with it when settling the mortgage.
4.How many homes should I view before making an offer?
This is completely up to you! It may be that you completely fall in love with the first house you visit, so you don't wish to view any more. But, it may be a good idea to view more than one, because an even nicer house could be just around the corner, and you don't know what's out there, until you look!
5.What do you think the seller will accept as a fair price?
As a rule, offering 5% off the asking price is unlikely to rub anyone up the wrong way. If the house has been on the market for quite a few months you could even venture below that. But, in reality, you never know how low a seller is willing to go, as everyone has different motivations for selling. If a seller is eager to move, they may accept a reduced price, but don't risk missing out if you have the option to spend a bit more.
6.How do I know if a property is a good deal?
It is hard to judge whether a house is a bargain or not. The best thing to do is to check out what similar properties are selling for in the same area. This will give you a good indication as to how good of a deal you are or aren't getting.
7.Should I have my home inspected?
The answer to this is yes you should. Before you buy a new house, you should always pay a qualified and licenced professional to inspect your potential new home. A survey will provide you with details regarding any repairs that you may be faced with. This will prevent any surprises popping up out of the blue when you move in.
8.What is the neighbourhood like?
Not only do you want your dream house, but you also want it to be in the perfect location! So, look at the amenities, surroundings, schools – whatever factors matter to you in the surrounding area. That way, you're less likely to change your mind, once the home is yours.
9.How old is the property?
Some people love an old property with bags of character. Exposed beams, open log fire places, real wood floors – what's not to adore? Older properties can sometimes mean more upkeep though, so work out what you think you'll be comfortable with, once you've got the keys.
10.What if my offer is rejected?
When an offer is submitted to the seller, it may be accepted, in which case, great news, you've just bought your first home! It could be rejected, which means you can offer again or walk away. Or, the seller could respond with a counter offer which will give you even more to think about! Only you will know what's right for you, but if you're in any doubt, ask!
If you have any questions that we didn't tackle in this short guide, get in touch and we'll be happy to answer them. Or, if reading this has settled your nerves about buying your first home, and you're ready to get out there and search for the perfect property, then let the fun begin!

One of the exciting aspects of large industry gatherings like this week's ASIS 2012 is that it is the occasion smart companies use to announce big news and launch new products and services. Industry giant Honeywell did just that, timing the release of its flagship Pro-Watch 4.0 security management platform with the event.
The enhanced platform, which allows large companies to easily manage complex systems that tie together access control, IP video surveillance, intrusion detection and building management technology for tighter security and increased productivity, now includes new features such as support for wireless readers from Ingersoll Rand Schlage, new compliance reporting functions and Web-based alarm and event management capabilities. Meanwhile, the company has also refreshed the platform's look and feel by restyling its graphical user interface with new icons and improved navigation for a more user-friendly experience.
"Optimizing business by using integrated systems is the new reality for most enterprise-level organizations," said Vince Lupe, Honeywell's Enterprise Segment director. "Linking functions like HR, building management and compliance with security was once considered a cost of doing business, but Pro-Watch 4.0 can make it a business tool. That type of functionality gives integrators an opportunity to provide more value to their customers."
Commercially available in North America on Sept. 28, the Pro-Watch 4.0 system features integration to Ingersoll Rand's Schlage AD-400 wireless readers, which are designed to allow users to more easily protect remote entryways that were previously difficult to reach with wired readers. Additionally, the Pro-Watch Compliance Report Manager and advanced badging -- features that give users the ability to easily create and manage employee access cards and create custom statistical and transaction reports -- are standard offerings in the new release. The system also allows users to access alarm and event data through any Internet-connected device and enables quick threat detection by integrating with the latest version of Honeywell's IP-based video management system, the MAXPRO® VMS R300.

Can Perspective (Donald) Trump Feelings?
15 years ago, I was given 5 years to live due to an incurable cancer living inside me. I surely didn't see that one coming, yet in a crazy way I'm so grateful for the gift of perspective that this journey has afforded me. Because I still walk with a cancer diagnosis, my fears and worries are confronted daily with these questions:
Is God, God or is he not?
Is God good or is he not?
So then what's my response to Him?
If He is both of these things then what does my posture look like in the midst of my day? Do I lean into Him or not? It's becoming pretty simple in theory. "For me to live is Jesus and to die is gain" (Phil 1:21), so then "cast all your cares on Him for He cares for you!" (1 Peter 5:7)
Think about this in your life. What are you worrying about today? What are the fears that are paralyzing you today? Take a second or two and think about this…
If He is God and you're not and He is good, then let's practice casting our cares on Him today. To cast is to transfer weight onto someone or something else. So let them go as if Jesus cares for you today, knows what's best for you and everyone involved, and remember that Jesus is always at work!

Remember when I used to trail run? Yeah, neither do I! I've never been able to run while pregnant, but this pregnancy has also not leant itself to gym sessions like I had when I was pregnant with Zelda. This time round I was far too ill and tired in the first two trimesters to do any exercise. Making dinner and putting the kids to bed was about all I could manage, if that. Plus I've had terrible ligament pain down both sides of my body and 'underneath' my belly.
Last week, after we'd had a particularly hard weekend with Zelda, I thought why not book her into the childcare at the gym on my Tuesday off. That way I could just get a coffee at the cafe or do some stretches & have an hour to myself.
I had noticed that after I had a sinus infection, with lots of sneezing and blowing my nose, the ligament pain down each side went away, but the lower belly pain was still there. While I was at the gym (an Zelda was safely occupied in the childcare) I asked a personal trainer for some advice on the ligament pain. I had thought that stretches would help, but she said that I needed the opposite, to contract the ligaments. I ended up having an awesome session with her the following Saturday. She's set up a tailored program for the rest of my pregnancy to help my over stretched ligaments contract. The last two mornings I've woken up pain free. It's fabulous!
The midwifes had said that the ligament pain would be there for the rest of the pregnancy, but that it wasn't bad enough to be referred to a physio. Am so glad that I sought a second opinion. Yes it will continue to be an issue but far more manageable with a little exercise.
I saw Alexandra Sheedy at Body Harmonics

These two are getting married tomorrow! We had such a great engagement session at Fort Steilacoom a couple of weeks back... It was my first time there and I have to say... it's definitely one of my new favorite places. Between the barns, grassy fields, and stunning lake, Cory, Katlyn and I were all entranced with Fort Steilacoom's beauty.
Here are some of my favorite images from their session. Can't wait to photograph their wedding tomorrow!

Sarah MacAlpin's Birthday and My NaNoWriMo Plans/
It's Sarah MacAlpin's birthday! It's also the day before the start of NaNoWriMo. Here's a vlog about my plans for the month of November.
Just to review those bullet points:
- I'll be writing and not very active in November
- I'm still working on Cauldron and hope to get a lot done this month
- I have some blog posts for you. I will be releasing them periodically
- Watch for #dailyfolklore on Twitter for a daily dose of what inspires me
If you've read The River Maiden, you know that the Halloween celebration in Chapel Hill figures very highly in the story. So, I thought I would also share a video of last year's Halloween to give you an idea of what it's actually like. Enjoy.

I have recently spent 5 weeks at the award winning Sukau Rainforest Lodge on the Kinabatangan river. The lodge itself is beautiful with 20 rooms which are named after guests who have contributed significantly to the conservation of the Lower Kinabatangan region. The most notable for me was Sir David Attenborough but sadly didn't get to stay in the room named after him, although got to ride around in the boat that was named after him.
Most of the wildlife spotting is done from boats on the river there which makes photography a challenge with tripods being almost useless so finding good light is essential. Trips were usually at 6 in the morning and at 4 in the evening, the most active time for the wildlife along the river with the morning being better for birds and the evening good for monkeys as they return to the trees by the river where they will spend the night.
The most popular sighting on anyones wish list was usually the Bornean Pygmy Elephant a sub-species which is endemic to Borneo. They can grow up to 2.5 metres with the Asian Elephant growing up to 3 metres. They also have larger ears and longer tails too with the tails almost reaching the ground.
The Elephants habit is sadly fragmented along the Kinabatangan so conflict between humans and elephants is common but hopefully initiatives such as the Kinabatangan Corridor of Life will hopefully reforest areas along the banks of the Kinabatangan which now have palm oil plantations reaching right to the water. Palm Oil platations are everywhere and it is a depressing sight to see them stretch for miles once you leave the small corridor of forest along the river.
It is definitely a special moment when you spot the elephants but sadly word spreads quickly and the boats start arriving en masse which can be a little concerning especially when some of the boat men start to get too close, however the guides at Sukau Rainforest Lodge were usually respectful and kept a distance. This is more difficult in the smaller rivers where you can get boxed in by approaching boats and it can become a little bit of a circus.
The largest group of elephants I saw numbered around 30 with many more in the forest behind which you could hear trumpeting, the sound echoing through the trees and across the river. Such a special sight is one I will not forget and definitely a highlight from my stay at Sukau.
Thanks to all the staff at Sukau Rainforest Lodge and Borneo Eco Tours for the wonderful experience.
I will post more photos from my time there soon.....

What can I do to reduce the amount of spam I get?
Spam is unsolicited, unwanted mail sent to your mailbox. Spammers use many sneaky tactics to fool filters so they can deliver the junk mail to your inbox. These include using substitute letters in words (such as M@rtgage), putting common words or phrases in the subject like "hi" or "I'm back in town", and leaving the subject blank altogether. A lot of spam invites you to open an attachment, which is almost guaranteed to have a virus in it. DO NOT open attachments without a virus scanner installed on your computer, and especially if it isn't from someone you know. Just delete the message.
Here are some things you can do to prevent spam from appearing in your in-box (items 1-7 from http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/support/anti_spam_tips.php).
- Use unusual e-mail addresses. Some spammers use computer programs to guess at email addresses.Using unusual email addresses containing numbers and letters can thwart this tactic.
- Dont provide your e-mail address over IM. Do not send your email address through chat rooms, instant message services or Internet bulletin boards and newsgroups. Automated bots and other individuals can easily harvest your e-mail address from IM chatrooms.
- Use a web-based contact form instead of providing your e-mail address. If you want to enable users of your Web site to contact you online, provide a form. Make sure the "send to" email address is not contained in the page HTML, but in the form processing script. There are automated crawlers that scour the Internet looking for e-mail addresses on web pages. You can substitue the @ symbol in an e-mail address with the word "at" such as "admin at digiserv.biz " which will convey your e-mail address to someone without allowing automated bots to scan in your e-mail address.
- NEVER reply to spam messages. Never reply to spam messages even when they entice you to reply to "remove" you from their mailing lists. Often the instructions are either bogus, or a way to collect more addresses. Replying confirms to the spammers that your email address is active, and you may receive even more spam.
- Use fake e-mail addresses. Most Web-based sign-up forms require an email address. If you don't want to hear from the site (and don't need a confirmation e-mail or tech support), don't give a real email address. When you register for products or provide your e-mail to web sites, it can often end up on a list that can be purchased by spammers. Instead, use a free e-mail account such as Yahoo! or Hotmail that you can give to sites you want to register at. This way, if your address ends up on a spam list, it's not coming to your primary account.
- Opt out. When you do sign up for or buy something online and you have to give out an email address, remember to opt out of everything you're not absolutely sure you want to receive.
- Never submit personal information to non-secure web sites. Never submit your credit card details or other personal information to non-secure Web sites. Secure Web sites will have a locked padlock icon that appears in yellow, or in a yellow box, on the bottom bar of the order form Web browser.
- ALWAYS check to make sure any links you are clicking on in e-mails go to where you think they are going. Often times, spammers will make a link "look" like a legitimate link, but the underlying link goes to somewhere you don't want to be.
- If you start getting a lot of spam from a particular sender and can't control it, let us know by sending the complete e-mail (including headers) to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll do our best to filter that spam from your accounts. Spammers are very crafty and can get around rules even we put in place, so there is no 100% guarantee we can eliminate all your spam and still allow all your legitimate mail to come through.

About the Book
1967. Rigby John Kluesener stands in the moonlight, a flower in his hair, his thumb out trying to hitch a ride on the road to San Francisco. The story of how he came to be there – of an adolescence spent on his parents' farm in Nowheresville, Idaho, of his father's misanthropy, his mother's strict Catholicism – is utterly real and totally unforgettable.

Lonesome Traveler
My troubles all started with Parmesan cheese.
And they ended with Parmesan cheese.
My life up to now has been one big cheese cycle.
The first grade of Saint Joseph's School was the first Parmesan cheese incident.
The last Parmesan cheese incident just happened, and what just happened is the reason why I'm a free man out here on Highway 93, a flower in my hair, hitchhiking to San Francisco.
It's all pretty clear now. Amazing how clear things can get at night in the desert. The moon, a big silver dollar, so much light there's a shadow of me across the pavement. A long shadow. My feet here on the gravel, my head all the way over there on the center line.
George Serano told me once that you can tell how you feel by how your shadow looks. Tonight in my shadow there's something about my head and my shoulders, my arms too. The way my hair is sticking up, and my T-shirt on my biceps, the daisy I picked in Twin Falls poking out the side of my head. Something inside coming out that makes my shadow look, that makes me look, I don't know, full, I guess.
Like this moon. Moon's so bright I can see the lines in the palm of my hand. I can see my bloody, bit thumbnail. If I took my dick out, I could see every aspect of it. My ass too. I ought to just pull my pants down right here, one hundred and fifty miles north of Reno, Nevada, and show that big old moon my big old moon.
Just my luck, some trucker would come along.
Just my luck.
And quiet.
Quiet as church. Not Mass or Our Mother of Perpetual Help devotions, but quiet in the empty Saint Joseph's Church. The quiet of the votive candle flame. The blue and red and yellow stained glass lying on the pew. Close your eyes and take a breath. What you smell is Catholic: oiled wood, beeswax, gold frankincense and myrrh.
The desert's even more quiet. The perfectly still sound of everything alive. Even the pavement, its dark ribbon going over the edge of the horizon, is alive. The horizon too, slow, sloping flat, every now and then an outburst of lava rock making a jagged edge. Sagebrush a darker shade of silver than the moon. Close your eyes here and take a breath, what you smell is sagebrush and bitterroot, what you smell is everything that's possible.
Two cigarettes ago, just as I sucked the yellow flame into the end of my cigarette, a coyote yelled out a big old lonesome, but not a sound since. Not even crickets or frogs. Just my tennis shoes scraping gravel. And my breath.
Maybe there was a nuclear bomb, and now I'm the only person who survived in the whole entire world.
That might not be so bad.
After seventeen years of breathing, I, Rigby John Klusener, do hereby declare there sure as hell are a few I could live without.
Why else do you think I'm out here on Highway 93, my thumb stuck out pointing to California?
What are you, six years old, in the first grade? There I was, six years old. Sister Bertha had put me on the dumb side of the room. Over on the right side near the cloakroom door in the back. Us dumb ones were supposed to be doing something in our notebooks while Sister Bertha was flashing the flash cards for the smart ones on the other side of the room. I knew every one of the words she was flashing except for have, and that's only because nobody'd shown me the v yet, plus I didn't know about the silent e. Anyway, Sister Bertha catches me reading the flash cards, so she says my name out loud. She says, Rigby John Klusener?
I stood up, of course, because I may not have known about v and the silent e yet, but I sure as hell knew you had to stand up straight, away from your desk, and say out loud and clear: Yes, Sister Bertha?
Sister Bertha was old and tiny. Holy Cross nun. The ones with the big halo fan thing all the way around their head. My sis, Mary Margaret, had Sister Bertha too in the first grade, and so had a bunch of my cousins. Sister Bertha was so old, she could have been the first-grade teacher for my mom and dad, even.
So Sister Bertha says, Rigby John, read these cards out loud.
I read them all out loud, all of them, no problem, that is except for have, and when she told me that the v had the v sound, after she told me about the silent e, and said the word love was the same way, she moved me clear across the room to the smart side, up front, right by her desk.
Been there ever since, up front on the smart side, a whole room away from dumb.
Maybe that's when Joe Scardino started to hate me. Because I got to move up front. Because I went from dumb to smart in a matter of five minutes. Plus, then I started helping Sister Bertha with extra things like wiping the chalkboard clean and getting out of class to get the chalk dust out of the erasers.
Probably didn't help.
Like there was the day Sister Bertha asked the class to point out the color orange to her. There wasn't one student who raised his hand. Maybe it was afternoon and everybody was sleepy. Maybe all the kids were just so bored they couldn't dredge up the simple answer to the simple show-me-the-color-orange question, I don't know. What I do know is that I remember thinking I was surrounded by a room full of druts, so I raised my hand, and when Sister Bertha called on me, I stood up straight, away from my desk, and said, Orange is the color of an orange, Sister Bertha. And she said, What color is that? She said, Show me where in the room you see the color orange.
The way I think of it now, that day when I looked around the room, everything was in black and white like on Ed Sullivan or Bonanza. I looked all over the room, and there wasn't one stick of orange color anywhere on anything. So I said, I have something orange in the cloakroom, Sister.
Which I didn't. I was lying through my teeth, which I think is the only thing that separates the dumb from the smart. So Sister Bertha lets me go into the cloakroom.
The door swung open into the cloakroom, and soon as that door opened, the smell hit you. Bologna sandwiches, Wonder Bread, mayonnaise, mustard, boiled eggs, ripe apples, and a kind of pee smell mixed in with wet wool, and oranges.
That's when I found it, and when I found it, I remember I swore to God and went down on my knees.
It was a miracle. A true miracle. The inside lining of my winter coat was orange. I slipped my coat on inside out, stood for a moment in front of the cloakroom door, took a deep breath, then swung the door open.
Sister Bertha! I exclaimed. Here is the color orange!
The whole rest of the day I got to wear a gold star on my forehead. Scardino must have hated that. I mean, I don't remember if he hated it or not, but, looking back, it's amazing how clear things can get.
Something else I can see clearly now. That day when I went looking for something believing I was going to find it and did. Nobody taught me that. Sure as hell didn't get that from Mom or Dad or Sis or Sister Bertha. Or the Pope. And it's got nothing to do with smart. Smart doesn't get you beyond fear, doesn't set you free.
Looking for something you know you're going to find. Ever since that day in the cloakroom, I've been doing that. I mean when the fear didn't get in the way. The secret is not to let the fear get in the way.
Still doing it. For example, just look at me out here in this night the color of ice cubes.
Miracles are out there somewhere. You just got to find them.
It wasn't very long after that Joe Scardino asked me to go home with him after school. I don't know why he asked me. Maybe even he didn't know he hated me yet. And for some reason, I don't know why, I was allowed to.
My parents never did allow anything too different. Differnt. That's how my parents said the word: differnt.
We had cows to milk, stock to feed, chickens to feed, eggs to gather, and some kind of more specific chore depending on the season, like, say, pick potatoes, shuck corn, can tomatoes, whatever, there were always chores and more chores to do, and dinner and supper to fix. Dishes to wash and dry. Always some kind of work that was so very goddamn important to do. Plus, we had to drive twelve miles to and from church and school, and that took up gasoline, so I don't know how I ended up at Scardino's house after school.
The point is, I ended up there, and what happened next is how it all started. After that day, it became a regular thing. Joe Scardino regularly beat the crap out of me over the next eleven years.
Parmesan cheese.
Joe Scardino was Italian — the only Italian I knew besides Regina Rossi, and she was in the second grade and a girl.
Plus, you got to understand that going to Joe Scardino's after school was my first time out alone. Oh, I'd done things alone before, but always with Sis. That was the problem with me, Dad said, that I was always with Sis. Sis'd say jump, and I'd say how high. And if it wasn't Sis, it was Mom. Those females turning me into a crybaby, a wuss, a girly-boy.
Hell, now that I'm looking back on it, I agree with him. It isn't that I liked them putting me in dresses and making me tea and playing paper dolls. I would've sooner been with him than Mom or my sis any day. But I ask you, did he ever step in and say, Come on, son, why don't we do something together, just you and me?
Forget it. Never in a million years.
Walking home from school felt strange. Sis and I had to take two buses, and it took over an hour and a half to get home. For Scardino it was only three or four blocks.
I don't remember much about the walk except for the elm trees we always drove by in our Buick on our way to Sunday Mass on Elm Street, and that Scardino and I wore our winter coats and caps and mittens, and that we banged our lunch pails against the elm trees and against a white picket fence. Scardino's lunch pail was square and had Black Beauty on it, and my lunch pail was the shape of a hip-roofed barn and it looked like a barn too, red with white trim around the doors and windows and a green roof.
Then all at once, Joe and I were standing in our winter coats, holding our lunch pails in front of a white house, tall and old, with a turret like a castle. The iron gate at the entrance made an Inner Sanctum sound, and the many shrubs around the house made walking into the house dark.
Then we were inside the old white house, and under a big bright chandelier stood an old woman, Scardino's mother, dressed in a long black dress, most of her hair up in a bun and lots of it flying about her face. She was tall and old like the house, but slumped over, and she rubbed her hands together as if they were cold, and her nose was hooked. I remember I didn't look at her when she said hello to me, just ran up the stairs after Scardino into the room with the turret, which was his bedroom.
But I didn't mention the most important thing.
The smell in the house.
The house smelled like the plate of spaghetti and meatballs Mrs. Scardino put in front of me at suppertime. The house smelled of the grated Parmesan cheese Mrs. Scardino dumped on my spaghetti and meatballs from a silver bowl with a little silver spoon.
Mom was so pretty and young with her red lipstick and rhinestone earrings and her gray tweed winter coat standing under the chandelier. She was polite and smiled like she does with people she doesn't know. I ran to my mother and put my hand inside her hand. Inside my stomach, down low, I felt warm and safe.
Your son didn't eat any of his supper, Mrs. Scardino said.
Mom's hand squeezed my hand tight. She was still smiling, but differnt. The red lipstick was on her teeth.
Why didn't you eat your supper? Mom asked.
Six years old. That's how old I was. Six years old, and I had never seen anything but our farm, Saint Joseph's Church, Saint Joseph's School, Montgomery Ward, S. H. Kress, J. C. Penney, and the Wyz Way Market. Six years old, and I'd only just learned about v's and silent e's. Didn't even know how to spell rhinoceros yet.
Why didn't I like my supper?
Because my supper smelled like farts, I said.
Maybe the next day. On the playground, near the incinerator, before the playground was blacktopped and it was still gravel, right next to the church on the side where Monsignor Cody's sacristy was. By the light pole with the guide wire coming down and stuck into the gravel. Right there where the guide wire goes into the ground is where Joe Scardino doubled up his fist, drew his fist back, and hit me square in the mouth.
The way Scardino hit me knocked me back against the incinerator. I sat down or fell down. I remember I didn't cry until I put my hand to my lip and saw the blood.
But between the time Scardino hit me and before I saw the blood, I just sat there and stared straight ahead at the guide wire. How the guide wire went into the ground. And the gravel. Only my heart beating. My breath.
My life ahead of me.
And all the king's horses and all the king's men would never put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
After that day, I was convinced. The universe conspired to fuck me up. No doubt about it. God had it in for me. Every day, everywhere I looked, there was more proof. Spent most of my life thinking that way. But then Flaco and Acho came along, and Billie Cody and George Serano, and with all that's happened this summer I've come to see it isn't just the universe. All along I've had something to do with it too. Still, though, whether it's God or the universe or the universe that's inside you that fucks you up, either way, there don't seem like a whole lot you can do about it. Trying to change yourself is as hard as trying to change the universe. Maybe there's no differnce. The fact is, shit happens none of us plan on. And like Scardino, most of that shit ain't good. My advice is the same as the color orange in the cloakroom. You just got to keep looking.
The next time was in the fourth grade.
The spelling bee.
That morning, after we took off our coats and hats and hung them up in the cloakroom, after we sat down in our seats, our feet together, our hands folded on top of our desk, when the class was completely quiet at eight-thirty, Sister Barbara Ann got up from
Children, Sister Barbara Ann said, today I have a surprise for you.
Sister Barbara Ann looked like all the rest of the nuns at Saint Joseph's School. The only nun who looked differnt from the other nuns was Sister Eta, who we called Sister Teetha because of her long gray teeth, plus there was Sister Bertha who was so damn old.
The nuns, except for Sister Bertha, were all about the same height. Not any of them was fat. So all you really had to go on was the face. The face was all that was sticking out.
Their faces were all white faces, kind of milky white next to the starched white of their wimples, and their eyebrows that weren't plucked because they were married to Jesus.
Now that I look back on it, their eyes would've had to be differnt, but I don't know anyone who actually looked a nun straight in the eyes.
Not even our parents looked a nun straight in the eyes.
Not even Scardino.
Of all the Holy Cross nuns, the last one you wanted to look at straight on was Sister Barbara Ann. She was the principal, and the thing that made Sister Barbara Ann differnt, besides being the principal, was that Sister Barbara Ann loved spelling bees. At least once a week, even though it was time for arithmetic, that nun would get a glimmer in her eye, and she'd say spelling bee! the way most people say chocolate fudge frosting.
Since I'd learned the v sound and the silent e back in the first grade, I'd been extra-good at spelling, almost as good as I was at running. Pretty much every spelling bee, if I wanted to, I could win hands down. The only problem was keeping my cool. For a while there I won so much, everybody in class started to hate me. Especially Scardino. So it got so after a while when I went to spell a word, I could feel how much everybody wanted me to lose, and I'd get that awful feeling in my arms that means I'm helpless, and look over at Scardino, and he'd be snarling his sharp tooth, and sure enough I'd make a mistake. Sometimes I made the mistake on purpose.

The LRMA family Xmas party will start at 1pm this Saturday 18 November 2017. It will be held at the Funeral Advisory shed behind the LRMA office.
It will be a great day with the usual fun and games and the weather will be cool for a pleasant change. All members and their family are welcome. BBQ lunch and drinks supplied.
We suggest you park at the LRMA office and walk around the back to the shed. Or if you plan on drinking do not bring a car at all! We also suggest you bring your own chair.
Please bring a gift under $20 for each child for Santa Claus to distribute.
The Minister for Resources, Don Harwin, MLC has advised 42 communal mullock dumps will be exempt from the requirement to be on title for a period of two years. The LRMA believes this exemption covers all current communal mullock dumps.
The Division of Resources & Geoscience received 281 industry submissions and 120 telephone enquiries. Thank you very much to all our members who took the time to complete the form and nominate all the communal waste dumps as being necessary for the industry to dump and win back mullock for rehabilitation.
The exemption will expire on 15 November 2019 and in the meantime the Division of Resources & Geoscience will be consulting the LRMA to develop potential long-term frameworks. The industry has a temporary reprieve and the LRMA will continue to lobby for a practical outcome.
Your LRMA membership for the 2017/2018 financial year is now well and truly overdue. If you have not already done so please renew as soon as possible.
The following have applied for membership of the LRMA. If any member has an objection to any of these membership applications please contact the LRMA office and your objection will be treated with the strictest of confidence.
