text: I have been away from Laie for many years but the memories never fade away. Grandma had a house right across the Hukilau. (Grandma Taimi Fonoimoana). I remember the white picket fence & the tall trees to block the wind. The house was very big. In the back was Wahinepee St. One side was an open field where cars would park for the hukilau.Open fields everywhere. Some of the largest Ulu trees in the back yard. I remember families coming to get Ulu all the way from town. I remember grandma MADE my sister Millie & I dance for the Hukilau back in the late 60's. SOMETHING ABOUT SAMOAN GRANDMA'S. You couldn't say no. In her 80's, she would sasa you. I remember dad sending me to Sam's store to get sugar. Sam wasn't even up. I had to knock on his door & wake him up. We walk in the store, lights still off. I was more afraid coming home empty handed then waking Sam up. I remember running behind the mosquito truck, lolo or what! I remember my Lolofie Cousins, back then I wasn't sure how we were related. I know now. I remember the Adam's 5 (my sister millie & bro Harry). The Leong boys, cuzn Tau Hunkin all the musicians back then playing for church dances @ 1st ward bld for .50. The Smiling Souls, Laie Park, Chicken Farm ward projects. Hearing the surf pound & fear of a Tsunami. Picking up coconuts after a storm, walking around Laie & surveyin all the fallin' trees. We moved now to Wahinepe St. neighbors to Jr & Simi AhYou. My mom really liked Simi. Talking to Jimmy Snuka as he walked past the house. These are fond memories embedded in my heart of Laie. A treasured memory forever. To my grandma Taimi resting @ Laie cemetary & Auntie Aliitasi Su'apaia & all my extended Laie Aiga & 'Ohana thanks for the memories.

On Monday, we went up to London Eye to collect tickets I thought I'd booked but hadn't. We ended up not going, but we came by Westminster and Big Ben and that was alright. It was strange being there just weeks after the terrorist attack, and there were flowers scattered over the bridge.
We headed to Oxford Street and spent the next 5 hours at Primark, Topshop among many others. It was perfect.
Afterwards, we needed a break so we took the 94 bus towards Acton Green. We had heard it was a particularly beautiful ride. It was nice, especially sitting on the top floor with a great view of Notting Hill, Hyde Park and the thinning city. Tine's grandmother is Norwegian and she had provided us with two Kvikk Lunch - a Norwegian Kit Kat - which we enjoyed in the bus.

today i decided i have been
getting of the beaten track a bit.
and thought i should sit down and at least
paint a couple of faces...
well of course once the face is done
i can't leave it for another day,
just waiting patiently for me.
no, it says, finish me...
so after looking at my very low material pile.
i spotted this fabric...
now of course i have know it was always there but...
this material was my grandmothers and is very "special"
and after a bit of convincing my self that the wee girls
don't use up much, i carefully arranged
the pattern as to not use to much.
it is after all original 50's fabric...
and feels so soft.
her legs are made out of felt!
i really like the way it worked..
this "royal sister" will not be for sale as you can imagine
but i thought i would share her with you.

Ileocecal resection is the surgical removal of the cecum along with the most distal portion of the small bowel—specifically, the terminal ileum (TI). This is the most common operation performed for Crohn disease, though other indications also exist (see below). Ileoceal resection may be accomplished via either an open or a laparoscopic approach (see Technique). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Laparoscopic ileocecal resection appears to be an acceptably safe alternative to the equivalent open procedure, [6, 7] provided that sufficient laparoscopic expertise is available.
Ileocecal resection is indicated for the following:
Crohn disease complicated by stricture of the TI after failed medical therapy
Cecal perforation
High-risk premalignant polyps of the cecum that are not amenable to endoscopic polypectomy
High-risk benign polyps not amenable to endoscopic polypectomy (eg, large tubulovillous adenoma)
Lower gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage localized to the cecum
Noniatrogenic injury (eg, gunshot wound with cecal perforation)
Iatrogenic injury (eg, perforation or hemorrhage after colonoscopy or polypectomy)
Palliatiion in specific cases (eg, cecal cancer with metastasis with complications such as bleeding or obstruction)
Ileocecectomy, along with other major operations, is contraindicated in patients with severe medical comorbidities who are critically ill and unable to survive a laparotomy or general anesthesia.
Formal right hemicolectomy, rather than just ileocecal resection, is the treatment of choice for cecal volvulus (with or without ischemia) and right-side colon cancers for which surgery is appropriate (eg, colonic adenocarcinoma, appendiceal malignancy, or a T1 polyp of the cecum that is endoscopically unresectable).
Technical Considerations
As in all surgery, understanding the anatomy is key for safe and successful ileocecal resection. [8] The TI empties into the saclike cecum through the ileocecal valve, a mucosal invagination. The appendix originates from the cecum on the posteromedial surface at the convergence of the taeniae coli. The cecum is suspended by a short mesocecum and generally has limited mobility.
The vascular supply of the TI and the cecum is derived from the ileocolic artery, which is a branch of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). If the right colic artery is present, it can branch off the ileocolic artery. Communication with adjacent vessels in the colon exists via the marginal artery of Drummond. The venous drainage follows the arterial supply and drains into the superior mesenteric vein (SMV), which joins with the splenic vein to form the portal system.
The lymphatic drainage, also following the arterial anatomy, goes to the superior mesenteric lymph nodes. Sympathetic innervation and parasympathetic innervation of the right colon originate from the lower thoracic spinal cord and the right vagus nerve, respectively.
During mobilization of the cecum and right colon, the surgeon must be mindful of the duodenum, kidney, and ureter deep to the colon. (See the image below.)

A Creamy, No-Mayo Potato Salad With a Surprise Ingredient
A picnic without potato salad is like Thanksgiving without stuffing. It's quintessential summertime grub. It's hard to imagine a red-checkered tablecloth draped over a picnic table without a giant bowl of potato salad weighing it down.
The only problem with classic creamy potato salad is that it always includes mayo, sour cream, or some kind of dairy which isn't something everyone at the picnic table can partake in. Surely you could forgo the creamy potato salad for a vinegar-based one that everyone can eat, but why compromise when you don't have to? This potato salad checks both boxes in one creamy, dreamy dish.
To make this dairy-free but super-creamy potato salad, you won't need any special equipment or labor in the kitchen for hours. You'll just need one magic ingredient you've likely seen popping up a lot lately: tahini.
The velvety, sesame-based spread is having a moment and I am here for it! What I once viewed as an ingredient specifically used for hummus, I now see as an endlessly versatile ingredient that lends a rich smoothness to just about anything. It's a go-to for making creamy salad dressing. It's the smooth operator behind this super creamy pasta. And it's the icing on the cake (literally) in this tahini buttercream–frosted chocolate cake. In this case, it's the superhero ingredient behind this surprisingly vegan, dairy-free potato salad. (Not all heroes wear capes.)
The dressing is a cinch to make. I add a little warm tap water to the tahini to loosen it up a bit. (It has a tendency to firm up in the jar, especially if you're using a previously opened tahini from the fridge.) Then, just whisk in some oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and season it up. Another tip is to dress the potatoes while they're still hot to give them a chance to soak up all that tangy dressing as the salad cools. I add celery, a little onion, and baby arugula to my potato salad, but you can add whatever you'd like—or, because the dressing is so luscious, add nothing at all!
The best part about this potato salad isn't just that it's a great make-ahead dish (and you can make it waaay ahead) or that it's perfect for packing to go. It's also that this particular potato salad is just as creamy, just as delicious, and just as quintessential as the classic version.
The Food52 staff can confirm: We couldn't stop eating Grant's perfect potato salad.

Today we celebrated John Paul's 25th Birthday. We decided not to do anything big this year so I got him a small gift and baked him a cake. We also went to dinner with his family...and some friends he didn't know were coming until he got there (including some out-of-town-ers). It ended up being a little bigger than he expected, what can I say? I have a hard time doing a birthday with out some kind of surprise.
With the help of my friends Michelle and Lauren, we make this super fun cake:
John Paul is a truly wonderful man and I am so happy I married him. I consider this a pretty important birthday. If the first 25 years were spent growing up into the man he is today, the next 25 will be the prime time to accomplish all his dreams in life and I intend to be apart of every single one of them. :)
I never seem to stop learning things about my husband (and I hope this is always the case). It wasn't until the past two weeks, for instance, that I learned:
1. He talks in his sleep (or sleep walks? it's somewhere in between those two)
2. He doesn't like fresh mint but does like mint flavor
Then there are those things I already knew but have stayed the same since we got married:
John Paul is a man of integrity. The sort that works hard and is a team player on the job, believes in other people, and always assumes the best out of the everyone he encounters. He brings happiness and laughter wherever he goes and has the most amazing smile. And even when he makes mistakes, he doesn't try to justify them, he just takes responsibility for them.
Yet, even he changes or fails over the years to come---I love him with all my heart and always will. I believe in him and know that failures or mistakes may come, but he will always be my husband, always find his way back to himself and God.
Happy Birthday, my love.

Dear Fisherfolk,I would like all members to draw a line and stop all comments from being posted on the events of the past 2 weeks and put a closure to the issue as a favour to me personally.
I agree with Richard that Pitti (Peter) has done a lot for this game and forum and still deserves the respect of everyone new or old,I have no hangups about what happened and have in fact been busy creating an outing based in the Oldendorf / Umgebung area of Germany (River Weser) which includes photos of many of the pools in one stretch of the river, which Peter and others may prefer,I will do my best to make the outing fun to fish and with Richards help, a little more difficult, but first and foremost let us all make this forum a pleasure to visit, to get tips and advice and make friendships that only a fisherman/woman can make with another fisherman/woman even though this is only a game,as Yellowstone said "life is too short ", so lets make the most of the great game Paul has created and keep our forum on RWFF the No1 in the world.
My Highest Regards To All and Tight Lines, Martin.

A contested feature of the new health-reform law that's considered important for its success appears headed for the Supreme Court after a Florida judge ruled that it was unconstitutional and as similar cases wind their way through the courts. But consumers won't see any immediate changes to their health benefits. The new protections delivered by the Affordable Care Act remain intact pending appeal, experts say, though they could be at risk if future decisions go the way of Monday's ruling.
Conservative governors and state attorneys general in 26 states have taken issue with the part of the multifaceted health overhaul that requires Americans to carry health insurance or face a tax penalty starting in 2014. That provision is generally known as the individual mandate or individual responsibility component, and opponents say it violates the Constitution by allowing Congress to compel the purchase of health insurance. On Monday, a federal judge in Pensacola, Fla., U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson, agreed with them, declaring in a 78-page opinion that it is unconstitutional and raising the political stakes as states prepare to implement the law.
The issue has served as a lightning rod in a nation divided largely along party lines on how and whether to restructure the health system to extend coverage to more of the 50 million uninsured and to address rapidly rising costs. Consensus on the individual mandate's lawfulness is as split as public opinion. Two other federal judges have upheld the Affordable Care Act's constitutionality, and one besides Vinson has ruled against it. Twelve others have dismissed cases challenging its constitutionality.
Senior administration officials speaking on background Monday characterized Vinson's ruling as out of step with the mainstream of judicial opinion and said they're confident it won't stand. See the White House blog for its perspective.
So far there's no statement from America's Health Insurance Plans, the major trade group of health insurers. Contrary to Republicans' opposition to the individual mandate, many health insurers have pushed for it not only to exist, but to be enforced when healthy people especially don't buy coverage. That way, they argue, it would offset the requirement that insurers take all comers regardless of their health status.
What leaders are saying about it
Here's a sampling of what some powerful lawmakers and interest groups are saying about Monday's ruling, taken from prepared statements issued by press secretaries and media-relations departments. I edited them for length considerations only:
Sen. Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa and Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee: "Although I am pleased he did not move to halt the implementation of the law, Judge Vinson is wrong in his assessment of the individual mandate. When people seek medical care without health insurance and don't pay for it, they aren't 'opting out' of the health care market. Instead, it adds more than $1,000 per year to the premiums of American families who act responsibly by having coverage. This clearly affects interstate commerce and is thus within Congress' power to regulate."
Rick Perry, governor of Texas and Chairman of the Republican Governors Association: "Today's ruling represents a victory in the ongoing effort to end federal intrusion into the lives of every American through this one-size-fits-all approach to health-care reform. I applaud the judge's decision, which affirms that the federal government's attempt to force individuals to buy government-approved health insurance is an egregious violation of our constitutional rights."
Sen. Patrick Leahy, Democrat of Vermont and Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee: "I have long believed in the constitutional authority of Congress to enact the Affordable Care Act. The language and spirit of the Constitution provides for such action, as does judicial precedent and prior acts of Congress to protect hardworking Americans in the national health-care market and promote the general welfare. At a hearing later this week, the Judiciary Committee will hear compelling testimony on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act…. Political opponents of the Affordable Care Act are intent on doing in the courts what they could not do in Congress by rolling back these important protections. As these challenges move through the courts, I hope that the independent judiciary will recognize Congress's core constitutional authority and the court's long-standing precedents."
Karen Harned, executive director, National Federation of Independent Business's Small Business Legal Center: "NFIB is extremely pleased with Judge Vinson's decision. NFIB joined this case to protect the rights of small-business owners to own, operate and grow their businesses free from unnecessary government intervention. The individual mandate, which forces citizens to purchase government-approved health insurance, undermines this core principle and gives the federal government entirely too much power. We are delighted Judge Vinson agreed with NFIB and the states on this critical issue."
Debra L. Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women & Families: "Opponents are spending millions of dollars to challenge this law when they could be joining the effort to improve care for those who need it most. If they succeed, we will go back to the days when people with pre-existing conditions could not get coverage, insurers dropped consumers or imposed caps when they got sick, and gender discrimination pervaded the insurance market. That is not what America wants and not what America needs. This ruling must be overturned."
Nikki Haley, Republican Governor of South Carolina: "We have long argued that, among its many other flaws, the national health-care law is unconstitutional, something that is now increasingly clear to all. South Carolina must take steps to avoid this unconstitutional infringement – one we do not want and cannot afford. We can improve health care in our state without this massive mandate from Washington, and that's what our Administration, working with the General Assembly, will do."
Larry McNeely, health-care advocate, U.S. Public Interest Research Group: "Consumers and small businesses would face significantly higher insurance premiums if higher courts ultimately uphold Judge Vinson's ruling to reverse last year's federal health-care law. According to a recent report from U.S. PIRG, The Cost of Repeal, consumers who purchase their own insurance would face up to 20% higher premiums in the event this law [is invalidated] and the per-employee cost of providing employer-sponsored insurance would be $3,000 a year higher, by the end of the decade. However, rollback of the law is far from inevitable….The parties to this suit should dedicate the time, energy and precious taxpayer dollars they are now wasting on this lawsuit toward finding real solutions to the growing threat which health-care costs pose to their states' economies."
DeAnn Friedholm, director, Consumer's Union's health-reform campaign: "Today's decision demonstrates once again that federal judges are divided on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act and the Supreme Court will ultimately have to decide. But as courts continue to wrestle with the constitutional question, consumers continue to enjoy new protections. We will keep up our efforts to inform Americans about their new rights and important changes that rein in insurance industry abuses."
Sen. Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, Senate Minority Leader: "This ruling confirms what Americans have been saying for months: The health spending bill is a massive overreach and Democrats 'exceeded the bounds' of Congressional authority under the Constitution in passing the law with the individual mandate. Rather than penalizing Americans if they don't buy a particular product that Washington decides is best, we should repeal this health-spending bill and replace it with commonsense reforms that will actually lower costs, prevent unsustainable entitlement promises and make it easier for employers to start hiring again."
U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, House Democratic Minority Leader: "Today's court ruling is one of many. While some are using every means to undermine patients' rights, we will continue to protect the millions of parents, children, students, seniors who rely on Medicare, and small businesses who are benefiting from reform and will benefit soon. We strongly believe that health reform is constitutional, and is consistent with longstanding precedents of the Supreme Court."

THE girlfriend of a Scots pirate hunter stuck in an Indian prison says she can't wait to "give him a big hug" when she sees him today for the first time in seven months.
Emotional Yvonne MacHugh has finally been given permission to visit Billy Irving in Puzhal prison, Chennai, after he was locked up with the crew of a security ship in October.
She started the 5000-mile journey from Glasgow yesterday, saying: "I can't wait to give him a cuddle."
Billy, of Connell, near Oban, had already been away for several months protecting vessels from pirate gangs in the Indian Ocean when his employers were accused of having illegal weapons on board, wrongfully obtaining fuel and straying into Indian waters.
Over the last three months, the family have had a few short letters from the 33-year-old, who has been living in a cramped and dirty cell, been in hospital and endured the heartache of seeing a successful bail plea revoked at the eleventh hour.
Yvonne, 25, will first fly to Dubai, where she will meet Billy's dad Jim then fly on to Chennai, where the Foreign Office have arranged for them to see ex-para Billy.
She said: "I'm feeling every emotion to finally be going. I'm absolutely petrified but excited. I just can't wait to see him and just give him a big hug."
Billy is one of five Britons and 35 crew taken from the US-owned MV Seaman Guard Ohio.
His employers AdvanFort say the men are innocent and have blasted the Indian authorities for locking them up for months before charges were lodged two weeks ago.
Billy has been taken to hospital twice with a painful intestinal infection and has told his family that his weight has plummeted.
Yvonne and Jim hope to get to visit him four times before leaving next Saturday and will try to give him some much-needed supplies.
She said: "It's going to be amazing to see him again. It has been a long time coming."
A petition calling for the UK Government to help free the men has gathered 85,000 signatures.

More campaign finance reports were submitted in Broomfield's recall election one from Ward 4 Councilman Greg Stokes and the two council candidates who would fill that post if Stokes is recalled Tuesday.
Jason Anderson and Brian Devine both filed to run in the mail-ballot recall election. Ballots were mailed out June 26 to all active registered voters in Ward 4 and need to be returned by mail or dropped off at election locations by 7 p.m. Tuesday.
The third campaign finance report is due Aug. 17 — 30 days after the election.
Jason Anderson for Council, the committee set up for Anderson's campaign, has not raised or spent any money during this reporting period, which is July 1 and July 6. He currently has $129.64 in his campaign account.
Anderson is married to Laurie Anderson, president of Broomfield Clean Air and Water (BCAW) and a Broomfield resident involved in organizing the recall effort of Stokes.
Anderson works at Plexus Corporation, an electrical engineering firm at Louisville.
He moved to Broomfield with his wife in 2015, and is registered as a Republican. Originally from Wisconsin, Anderson grew up in Minnesota and lived in Wisconsin for the past 20 years before a work transfer brought him to Colorado.
The Committee to Elect Brian Devine raised $150, $50 from three Broomfield retirees, from July 1 to July 6. On July 1, he had $1,938.64 in campaign funds and spent $900.
Devine, who is unaffiliated, has lived in Colorado nearly 20 years and Broomfield the past two.
He owns a marketing company, Top Line Management Inc., and works mostly in the dental industry.
Devine lived in Erie for 13 years before moving to Broomfield, and said he feels he and his wife, Maura Devine, already have been through similar discussions on oil and gas.
Friends of Greg Stokes had $17.82 in the account on July 1, and raised $1,614 by July 6. Total expenditures were $688, which includes $100 returned to a donor . The remaining funds were spent on labels, postcards, printer cartridge and stamps.
Stokes, also a registered Republican, has been a Broomfield resident since 2000 and works as an investor. He was elected to his current seat in 2009 and re-elected in 2013.

The mill will continue with a new name and new management. It is a new beginning that holds great promise for the community as sustainable logging practices are implemented. The collective sigh of relief is heard and felt by all concerned. There will be some that will not be hired by the new company but most of the workers will soon return to their jobs with a feeling of security that has been missing over the last few years.
The new Town Company met with the residents and business owners in a Town meeting yesterday and answered some questions regarding the town's future. They made it clear that they will be making improvements and proceeding with the steps necessary to sell the homes. In the meantime the workers and others like us will continue to rent. For some, the opportunity will come for them to purchase their homes. Some will want to do so and others will decide to move. Some will be unable to buy and eventually have to look for rental options elsewhere.
The affordable rents close to work will be gone. It is a shame, but hopefully, as the changes are made, the nature of the town will not be completely lost and it's charm will somehow be retained. The representatives of the company did seem to understand that part of their new acquisition at least in so much as it applies to the bottom line. The small town community, the stability of the workers, the infrastructure, the parks and museum and churches are all important to the people and therefore important assets toward the future sale of the homes.
145 years. The name of the mill and possibly the town will change and the town will not be company owned but it will not become another ghost town. The Mill will hopefully continue on under it's new owners and management for many generations to come. I won't be alive to see it but I sincerely hope that 145 years from now someone will be writing about the wonderful success of a little mill in Humboldt county and the thriving little community surrounding it.
On the up side, it should take 2-4 years for them to make the necessary changes and cut through the endless red tape before they can sell the homes. For us that means that we will have 1 or both cars paid off and if it takes the full 4 years we would be in a better position to purchase...IF... and the list of IFs is a long one!
Who knows, I may even get to plant a few tomatoes next year and live to taste them!
links to stories done in the past concerning Scotia
And for a laugh: Check out this table made from reclaimed lumber from one of the old mills. Note the asking price and realize that this same old wood is present in every old building and house in town and the same reclaimed wood I used as a compost bin at the apartment. So what will these old pieces of history sell for as homes? http://www.tamalpais.com/htmlpages/scotia/ARWC_table1.html

A poem written to my mother as a gift, Mother's Day 1996. Yep, it's autobiographical.
Woodward cruises
Beatle beats, young and pretty, blonde hair
reflecting golden sunny glow coming down from jewel-blue skies.
"Can you feel it when it passes through you?"
Skinny, Rock & Roll. Oh he's so dangerous. Rebel rebel on the street,
friends keep asking you why he's not a normal American guy.
Warmer days and cooler nights, school concluding, future plans ideas
at best. Why do you like this bad little boy, fringe leather long hair and
shit-eating grin?
Fair skin, gentle smile, Berkley girl
Who could hang for a while
Cool kids in a fragile moment
It's not so bad in this shrinking spring 69
It's cool and that's all
anybody needs in the treasure of youth. He's a perfect pirate at best.
But for a sliver a bit it had all been a returning smile a gentle wink and a
walk around town.
Detroit and its almost summer. All right. 69. Xtra life in your belly.
Sweet mode, the summer of love upon you and its greatest sum is your
Maybe now it's not a rebel you seek, but there he is.
You feel fine. All the love of the world grows inside you.
Who was that young glowing mother whose sandaled feet strolled under
that warm season sun. Fresh and full of life, scared but hopeful, optimistic
but cautious, courageous and poetic.
Suddenly it's not so simple, but beautiful none the less.
Music comes out of convertible cars rolling slowly down Woodward
in proud De-troit style. How life's course changes in an instant. People who
might have been a night away from can affect the events of decades to
Slowly turning tires on flashy cars, music, the beat–the heartbeat of
the street. Young girl, the mess of love, now with belly swelling dire. A
range of emotions like light through a prism.
Late August humid nights. Young boy and young girl in the face of
life. A knuckle down in the sacrifice
for the upcoming
and now the price.
Random like the leaves off the trees. No one can plan their fall.
Design beyond our reach. We can only sweep thereafter.
It's colder and bolder in the heart of the city. Big world has come, ready or
not, it is quickly becoming time for the big game. He's staying for the game.
Darker skies and November chills your boy(?) is almost upon you.
How the days have passed, I can only fictionalize. Summer of loved passed
to fall nights, Berkley taillights. What nerves danced behind your doe eyes?
Were you dying or lying or crying behind them or did you laugh and smile
and await your child?
It's coming up in just a while.
It's crisp and cold. It's a Michigan winter. Loose long cotton sheets give
way to thick dark wool and pile on the duck feathers. The wool scratches of
young love are contrasted with down comforter sympathies.
Oh will it be alright? Will it be good? she asked herself.
Young pretty mother soon had watched other mother's daughters
engage in ritual in local parks and hilltops. Happiness rained down on these
hills moments away.
Slide down and away on billowy coated snowcaps.
Whisping, swirling snow. Soft and flaky, gentle bed. Young will-be-mother lays down in it.
Starts making snow angels. Sometime after Christmas (she smiles)
It WILL be alright.

An inquiry has been told an "angry" Immigration Minister Scott Morrison told asylum seekers on Manus Island to not even dream about coming to Australia.
An asylum seeker has told a Papua New Guinea court about eating worm-infested bread and prison-like conditions at the Manus Island detention centre.
He's told an inquiry into whether detainees' human rights are being catered to under PNG's constitution that "angry" Immigration Minister Scott Morrison had told them to not even dream about coming to Australia.
The 25-year-old Iraqi asylum seeker told the court that in his six months at the Australian-commissioned detention centre, he often had to pull apart bread to get rid of worms.
"We find worms inside the cereal and bread," he said on Wednesday.
Speaking through a translator, he said camp authorities had stopped using the cereal but still handed out the bread.
"With the bread, we're eating it everyday but we find it has worms," he said.
"We throw out the parts of the bread with worms then we eat the rest of the bread."
The man - the first witness to appear before Justice David Cannings inquiry - said Mr Morrison visited the centre and told asylum seekers not to dream about coming to Australia.
"You are not going to reach Australia," the court was told Mr Morrison said to asylum seekers.
"Even in your dreams, you are not going to make it to Australia."
"He was a bit angry," the asylum seeker said.
The man, who told the court he left behind his wife and two children in Iraq after he was targeted by a terrorist group, said toilets at the centre were a "miserable situation".
"We seldom have soap in the toilets. Most of the time there's no water in the bathrooms," he said.
"Four days ago, because they had knowledge of the delegation coming to the camp, they started to clean. Not just this time, but every time a high figure is coming in."
Justice David Cannings, who is heading the inquiry, and a court-appointed party visited the centre on Tuesday.
When asked by public prosecutor Frazer Pitpit how he felt about coming to court, the asylum seeker said he felt human for the first time in a long time.
"I have a right to sit with people and they are going to listen to what I say," he said.
"For the first time I feel I am human. No one considered me an asylum seeker.
"I felt that I don't have any rights in this place."
The inquiry is set to hear from up to six asylum seekers on Wednesday.
The hearings continue in Lorengau, the Manus Island capital.

Cisco's (NASDAQ:CSCO) struggles aren't over yet. The networking giant saw its revenue shrink by 8% last quarter, and management sees the sales weakness persisting into this year. However, shareholders also got a bit of good news in Cisco's quarterly report: The company boosted its dividend by 12% to an annual pace of more than $1 billion.
In the video below, Fool contributor Demitrios Kalogeropoulos argues that, as impressive as it sounds, that dividend boost isn't enough to keep Cisco's payout on pace with other Dow giants like General Electric (NYSE:GE) and IBM (NYSE:IBM), which dedicated significantly more cash last year toward dividend payments. Cisco's payout ratio also lags the overall market and could stand to rise closer to GE's 55%, he says, which could happen through a scaling-back of Cisco's aggressive spending on share repurchases.

It's hard to believe but it's time once again for our monthly MBIP Contributors Luncheon get together. A new restaurant has opened up downtown on Adams Street called Sugar and they bill themselves as a wood-fired bistro. MBIP pal and PJ Star writer, Steve Tarter wrote about the restaurant last week and you can read that right here. It sounds like a great and unique new restaurant, so I thought it would be a good place to treat some of the MBIP Contributors to lunch. Okay, let's jump in the MBIP mobile and go get a hunk-a-hunk of burning lunch!
And we're off. There's the downtown Peoria skyline from my windshield point of view on I-74.
I'm not even in the door yet, but I'm impressed already, it looks cool in here.
Once inside we're greeted by Jessie on the left who's the manager of Sugar and Dennis Slape who owns the building, but he's quick to point out, he doesn't own the restaurant, we'll meet that gentleman soon. Dennis told me this building has been standing here since the 1930's and it was originally a grocery brokerage warehouse. Later it morphed into a YWCA and now it's Sugar. Sweet!
Here's the star of this new restaurant, their wood-fired stove. It was imported from Italy and the temperature in there gets up to 1000 degrees fahrenheit which makes for some fast cooking.
Here's Andy behind the counter who's the head chef here at Sugar. Um, Andy...I think you've got the wrong shirt on...but that's okay!
They have an impressive set of taps here, I think they'll get a good rating on the Spike-O-Meter ratings system. Time will tell.
Here's the dining area, it's has a rustic urban feel to it with the brick and wood theme going on.
And don't let these empty tables lead you to think there's no interest in Sugar, because...
Five minutes after I took that shot, the place is filled up and there's not a seat to be had. Pretty impressive considering they've only been open about two weeks.
I had heard there's crowds here, so I reserved a table in the back room. I think I see some familiar faces back there...
MBIP Contributing Writers, Mike Foster and Scott Turley have pulled off the impossible dream and have beat me to the table, even though I'm half an hour early. Nice to know that a couple guys are even nuttier than me!
And here's our next MBIP guest and contributor, Brandon Hovey.
Chip Joyce showed up next...
And last but not least, Mark Douras from Mt. Olive Church showed up and this month's luncheon group was complete.
The gang's all here. In absentia are: "Boris" Boden, Gene Rubbico, Bob Gordon, Jaws the Cabbie, Paul O'Connor, Bob "Whale" Miller and Jeff Putnam. Some day it's my dream to get all the MBIP Contributors in one room.
Here's the owner of Sugar, Travis Mohlenbrink. Travis also owns, Cracked Pepper and Salt and personally I'm waiting for him to open up a restaurant called, Mustard. Travis generously offered us up a couple of pre-lunch entrees on the house.
And here he is with chef Andy whipping them up.
The first course is served up...
This is a Nutella Smores Pizza, which is out of this world good. It's impossible to describe, you just need to get here and taste it. MBIP pal, Alex Mcleary wondered a few posts ago what a Smore was, well, as they say, every picture tells a story, mate!
The other entree that Travis offered up was Mediterranean Queso with Herbed Flatbread. As good as it looks, it tasted even better. The food here is off the chart tastiness!
At Sugar you have to order up front here at the counter and as you can see, it's pretty busy up here. ..
But in spite of all the business, Kitrina posed for the MBIP camera and flashed a pretty smile while taking our orders at the same time. What a multi-tasker!
And through the miracle of the internet, seconds later our half dozen orders appear.
Both Brandon and Mike got the meatball sandwich. Here's Mike unveiling his sandwich for the MBIP audience.
Scott got the Buffalo Wings which he shared with me and they were amazingly tasty and good.
Mark got a pepperoni pizza.
Chip got the Smokey Pork Chipotle Pizza and let me try a piece and it was so good. If you've never had pizza from a wood-fired oven, you need to check this place out.
I got the mac and cheese and this is the small size! If you're hungry, come in and try the large order, it must be served in a bucket! Mac and cheese is one of my favorites and I can testify that this is the best I've ever had. It's got a crunch on the top and savory cheesy smooth delights below.
It was another fun lunch with some of the MBIP Contributors. We'll do this again in about thirty days.
There's sweet and tasty treats up here in the front counter to balance off the savory fare, but we were too full to sample them. Maybe next time! See you all tomorrow!

Morning -
Today is the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter and the theme is Animal Magic. I have used this fab image called Teamwork.
I printed my image and coloured it in with Promarkers before I die cut the edge with a My Favourite Things scalloped stitched edge die. To the side of this I cut a piece of striped grey paper from My Minds eye Necessity pad. I mounted it all onto Green satin card - you can't tell from this pic but it is even all the way around (My issue with balance would not allow it to be otherwise!!) But because I have raised the coloured image panel up using 3d foam - it is hidden a little! I tied neutral twine around the entire panel before I glued it down. I then added some Heart from Wycinanka which I coloured using Promakers. I also did this on the "Believe" which is from Make it Crafty. I have to say I am a little bit obsessed with these double layered words!! Finally I added a little flag of green ribbon and a little Wooden embellishment from My Minds Eye.
I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Tree - Sandstone, Cinnamon, Cocoa, Walnut & Henna.
Grass - Leaf Green, Grass, Emerald, Lush Green & Forest.
Pandas - Black & Blue Greys with Cocktail Pink ears & feet.
Bamboo - Linen & Forest Green.
Hearts - Red & Carmine.
Believe - Leaf Green, Grass & Emerald with Blue Grey 5 as base layer.
Finally I edged the entire image with Powder Blue which I then blended in to give a soft finish.
I would love to see all your makes with Animals included entered into the challenge.... Just look at the value of what you could win! Thats a fantastic prize and there are so many great images to choose from!!
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.

Okay one thing at a time. How do I create a shelled out Normandy village with minimal cost? Why it's paper buildings of course! On the Miniature page I discovered an ad for a shelled out building you can order online and download a PDF copy. The actual site of the creator of such products is
Dave Graffam's paper models.
Now you can buy one building as a test for on the cheap but I was fascinated with his product so I bought the bundle pack that contains 17 structure kits.
For my demo here I was planning on building one of the large buildings. The shelled out church. I print off the brick type I wanted. This document comes in 3 brick pattern types.
Now everything is printed off and ready for cutting.
|The artist's rendering from the instructions
|My finished building
|From the opposite side
|The Tower Ruin
|From the other side.
|The Wrecked House
|From the opposite side
|The Sniper's wall
|The Split Ruin
So to conclude I highly recommend these building PDF's. For the amount of buildings you can create they're relatively inexpensive. The 17 document files you get in the bundle works out to $2.35 USD so with materials your building costs are below $4.00 for each structure. Finally the most important feature of these PDF's is you can change the look of the structure before you print them off. They can be adapted to numerous scales and they look great.

The game suck very much.

If you suck at a game that doesn't mean the game is crap. It means you're crap. It's always a conspiration against you to lose.
In order to win the game, you must be like sanic…K
PS- It ain't p2w.
As you can see,those 3 idiots before me said its either pay to win or crap.I want to say that,in a long time,almost 1 year,i couldnt get into a game,until Dirty Bomb came.I like all the chars,ITS NOT PAY TO WIN,since you can get 101% stuff through the game.Certainly,Mercs are expensive as …. but you can get them in like 1 week if you do your daily missions.Overall 10/10 (Threw a random grenade and actually killed someone !)
i play this game for 3 month, and its 100% free 2 play
what the hell? it's not pay to win in the slightest sense.
Its a pay to win buy golden merc and kil everyone, game is copy paste from existing fps, there is nothing then brainless pvp, all he time same gayplay over and over.

Self Description
Third-Party Descriptions
September 2016: 'Trump's burgeoning pay-to-not-be-played scandal features the substantial donation he made to Florida's attorney general, Pam Bondi, just days before she decided not to join a multistate lawsuit over alleged fraud at Trump University. It certainly looks as if Trump was paying Bondi to "do whatever the hell" he wanted her to do. But despite the many levels of gross surrounding the donation, the lackluster investigation of fraud, and the lavish fundraiser Trump then provided Bondi at bargain-basement prices, any attempt to prove in a court that he, or she, did anything illegal will be an uphill climb. This is in no small part thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court. Its unanimous decision last spring in McDonnell v. United States made it vastly easier to purchase politicians and far harder to prosecute corruption. Today, post-McDonnell, prosecutors are too freaked out to bring anti-corruption cases, and nobody is happier about that than Trump and Bondi.'http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2016/09/why_donald_trump_and_pam_bondi_probably_won_t_face_a_corruption_investigation.html
July 2016: "When Donald Trump took the stage in Cleveland on Thursday night (July 21), he immediately made some strong comments about law and order. They were, however, in typical Trump fashion, a rather blatant distortion of the facts."http://qz.com/739254/trumps-republican-national-convention-speech-massively-distorted-national-crime-statistics/
July 2016: 'Donald Trump Facebook Twitter Pinterest The rise of Donald Trump is 'a symptom of the mass media's growing weakness', according to academic Zeynep Tufekci. Photograph: Jim Cole/AP As the academic Zeynep Tufekci argued in an essay earlier this year, the rise of Trump "is actually a symptom of the mass media's growing weakness, especially in controlling the limits of what it is acceptable to say". (A similar case could be made for the Brexit campaign.) "For decades, journalists at major media organisations acted as gatekeepers who passed judgment on what ideas could be publicly discussed, and what was considered too radical," Tufekci wrote. The weakening of these gatekeepers is both positive and negative; there are opportunities and there are dangers.'https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/jul/12/how-technology-disrupted-the-truth
January 2016: '"Donald Trump is the obvious current example in the US, suggesting easy solutions to followers that are either unworkable or unconstitutional," says Dunning.'http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160105-the-man-who-studies-the-spread-of-ignorance
July 2016: "Taken as a whole, though, an examination of Mr. Trump's business career reveals persistent patterns in the way Mr. Trump bends or breaks the truth — patterns that may already feel familiar to those watching his campaign."http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/17/us/politics/donald-trump-business.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=a-lede-package-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0
July 2016: 'Last month, the Obama administration accused Donald Trump of undercutting American legitimacy in the eyes of the world. Trump's call to ban Muslims wasn't just morally wrong, according to Vice President Joe Biden, it called "into question America's status as the greatest democracy in the history of the world." President Obama followed Biden by asserting that Trump's rhetoric "doesn't reflect our democratic ideals," saying "it will make us less safe, fueling ISIL's notion that the West hates Muslims." His point was simple—wanton discrimination in policy and rhetoric undercuts American legitimacy and fuels political extremism. This lesson is not limited to Donald Trump, and it applies as well abroad as it does at home.'http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/07/the-near-certainty-of-anti-police-violence/490541/
July 2016: "CNN's thinking apparently holds that Mr. Lewandowski provides pro-Trump balance for the network at a time when many of its regular Republican analysts are Trump detractors. In that case, they could ask, how does a nondisclosure agreement get in the way of Mr. Lewandowski's role as a Trump booster?"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/04/business/media/fair-play-in-a-fact-challenged-political-landscape
June 2016: "The fact is Trump raised valid questions about Clinton's foreign policy positions, fund-raising practices and email quandary -- but he did so in his vintage over-the-top fashion, with so many personal insults that many will ignore or forget the substance of his criticism."http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/22/opinions/trump-speech-on-clinton-louis/index.html
June 2016: "No, my question, as Democrats gleefully tear into the Trump business record, is why rival Republicans never did the same. How did someone who looks so much like a cheap con man bulldoze right through the G.O.P. nomination process?"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/11/us/write-an-essay-and-you-can-own-my-newspaper-vermont-man-says.html?emc=edit_th_20160613&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=64270460
June 2016: 'Donald Trump often portrays himself as a savior of the working class who will "protect your job." But a USA TODAY NETWORK analysis found he has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades — and a large number of those involve ordinary Americans, like the Friels, who say Trump or his companies have refused to pay them.'http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/09/donald-trump-unpaid-bills-republican-president-laswuits/85297274/
May 2016: "In blunt testimony revealed on Tuesday, former managers of Trump University, the for-profit school started by Donald J. Trump, portray it as an unscrupulous business that relied on high-pressure sales tactics, employed unqualified instructors, made deceptive claims and exploited vulnerable students willing to pay tens of thousands for Mr. Trump's insights."http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/01/us/politics/donald-trump-university.html
May 2009: "BALMEDIE, Scotland — Since refusing to let Donald Trump buy his house, inconveniently located in the middle of Mr. Trump's planned $1.5 billion development in the countryside here, Michael Forbes has had an unusual number of visits from local enforcement officers."http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/05/world/europe/05scotland.html
September 2007: 'Some CEOs use bankruptcy as a means of getting out from under pesky labor contracts they might have "known they could not afford" when they agreed to them (Northwest Airlines most recently, for example). Others use it as a cushion against bad bets. Donald ("you're fired!") Trump's casino empire has gone into bankruptcy twice -- most recently, last November, when it listed $1.3 billion of liabilities and $1.5 million of assets -- with no apparent diminution of the Donald's passion for risky, if not foolish, endeavor. After all, his personal fortune is protected behind a wall of limited liability, and he collects a nice salary from his casinos regardless. But if you're an ordinary person who has fallen on hard times, just try declaring bankruptcy to wipe the slate clean. A new law governing personal bankruptcy makes that route harder than ever. Its sponsors argued -- you guessed it -- moral hazard.'http://robertreich.blogspot.com/2007/09/moral-hazard.html
December 2006: "At Tuesday's press conference, Mr. Trump said he expected to "fire" Conner before he met with her that morning. In 2002, he did strip the reigning Miss Universe, Oxana Fedorova of Russia, of her title for unbecoming behavior."http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/1220/p01s01-ussc.html

Date Fairness.com Resource Read it at: Sep 08, 2016 Why Donald Trump and Pam Bondi Probably Won't Face a Corruption Investigation: The Supreme Court's McDonnell decision seems to have put a chill on prosecutors.
QUOTE: Why is a charity giving money to aid a pol with whom the foundation's head has pending legal business?....Reading through the court's language in McDonnell, the easier hurdle is "official acts." The justices were not certain that McDonnell's various phone calls and luncheons represented official acts...
Slate Jul 21, 2016 Trump's Republican National Convention speech massively distorted national crime statistics
QUOTE: When Donald Trump took the stage in Cleveland on Thursday night (July 21), he immediately made some strong comments about law and order. They were, however, in typical Trump fashion, a rather blatant distortion of the facts.
Quartz Jul 16, 2016 Donald Trump's Deals Rely on Being Creative With the Truth
QUOTE: [Trump's] long, operatic record as a swaggering business tycoon. And without question, there will be successes aplenty to highlight, from his gleaming golden high-rises to his well-regarded golf resorts, hit TV shows and best-selling books. But a survey of Mr. Trump's four decades of wheeling and dealing also reveals an equally operatic record of dissembling and deception, some of it unabashedly confirmed by Mr. Trump himself, who nearly 30 years ago first extolled the business advantages of "truthful hyperbole." Indeed, based on the mountain of court records churned out over the span of Mr. Trump's career, it is hard to find a project he touched that did not produce allegations of broken promises, blatant lies or outright fraud.
New York Times Jul 12, 2016 The Near Certainty of Anti-Police Violence: By ignoring illegitimate policing, America has also failed to address the danger this illegitimacy poses to those who must do the policing.
QUOTE: 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson murdered five police officers in Dallas. This abhorrent act of political extremism cannot be divorced from American history—recent or old. In black communities, the police departments have only enjoyed a kind of quasi-legitimacy. That is because wanton discrimination is definitional to the black experience, and very often it is law enforcement which implements that discrimination with violence. A community consistently subjected to violent discrimination under the law will lose respect for it, and act beyond it.
Atlantic Online, The (Atlantic Monthly) Jul 12, 2016 How technology disrupted the truth
QUOTE: Social media has swallowed the news – threatening the funding of public-interest reporting and ushering in an era when everyone has their own facts. But the consequences go far beyond journalism....It seemed that journalists were no longer required to believe their own stories to be true, nor, apparently, did they need to provide evidence. Instead it was up to the reader – who does not even know the identity of the source – to make up their own mind. But based on what? Gut instinct, intuition, mood? Does the truth matter any more?
Guardian Unlimited Jul 03, 2016 Fair Play in a Fact-Challenged Political Landscape (Mediator)
QUOTE: Mr. Lewandowski's hiring represents a signal moment in political journalism's evolving embrace of political operatives: A major mainstream news organization is using a commentator who is legally prohibited from sharing the unvarnished truth on the subject — Mr. Trump — he was hired to talk about.
New York Times Jun 22, 2016 Is Donald Trump right about Hillary Clinton?
QUOTE: ...Trump raised valid questions about Clinton's foreign policy positions, fund-raising practices and email quandary -- but he did so in his vintage over-the-top fashion, with so many personal insults that many will ignore or forget the substance of his criticism.
CNN (Cable News Network) Jun 13, 2016 A Party Agrift
QUOTE: ...there has always been a close association between the movement and the operations of snake-oil salesmen — people who use lists of campaign contributors, right-wing websites and so on to sell get-rich-quick schemes and miracle health cures. Sometimes the political link is direct...Sometimes it just seems to reflect a judgment on the part of the grifters that people who can be persuaded that President Obama is Muslim can also be persuaded that there are easy money-making opportunities the establishment doesn't want you to know about.
New York Times Jun 09, 2016 Hundreds allege Donald Trump doesn't pay his bills (USA TODAY exclusive)
QUOTE: Donald Trump often portrays himself as a savior of the working class who will "protect your job." But a USA TODAY NETWORK analysis found he has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades — and a large number of those involve ordinary Americans, like the Friels, who say Trump or his companies have refused to pay them. At least 60 lawsuits, along with hundreds of liens, judgments, and other government filings reviewed by the USA TODAY NETWORK, document people who have accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work.
USA TODAY May 31, 2016 Former Trump University Workers Call the School a 'Lie' and a 'Scheme' in Testimony
QUOTE: In blunt testimony revealed on Tuesday, former managers of Trump University, the for-profit school started by Donald J. Trump, portray it as an unscrupulous business that relied on high-pressure sales tactics, employed unqualified instructors, made deceptive claims and exploited vulnerable students willing to pay tens of thousands for Mr. Trump's insights.
New York Times Jan 06, 2016 The Man Who Studies the Spread of Ignorance
QUOTE: Proctor found that ignorance spreads when firstly, many people do not understand a concept or fact and secondly, when special interest groups – like a commercial firm or a political group – then work hard to create confusion about an issue. In the case of ignorance about tobacco and climate change, a scientifically illiterate society will probably be more susceptible to the tactics used by those wishing to confuse and cloud the truth.
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Apr 29, 2011 Silliness and Sleight of Hand
QUOTE: There's something immoral about giving handouts to entrenched corporate interests with armies of lobbyists while seeking to cut those to hungry children, struggling families and frail seniors… In the last several months, Republican state lawmakers and party officials have said the most reprehensible things about Hispanics, gays and blacks.
New York Times May 04, 2009 Balmedie Journal: Debate on Trump Project Takes the Low Road
QUOTE: Since refusing to let Donald Trump buy his house Michael Forbes has had an unusual number of visits from local enforcement officers....But the unpleasant attention he is getting comes as no surprise to the scattered, battered opponents of Mr. Trump's grand golf-and-housing project, which already has preliminary approval and may start construction early next year.
New York Times Sep 07, 2007 Moral Hazard
QUOTE: When it comes to risky behavior in the market, America has a double standard. We're told that economic risk-taking as the key to entrepreneurial success, but when big entrepreneurs take big risks that fail it's amazing how often they get bailed out....Bush's "ownership society" has proven a cruel farce for poor people who tried to become home owners, and his minuscule response to their plight just another example of how conservatives use moral hazard to push their social-Darwinist morality. The little guys get tough love. The big guys get forgiveness.
Robert Reich personal blog Dec 20, 2006 In Miss USA drama, comeuppance for US 'raunch culture': The story reflects a clash between the pageant's wholesome image and a US society that glamorizes bad behavior.
QUOTE: When young women get caught acting out in inappropriate ways, as Conner did, they are in fact reflecting the culture, Ms. Levy said Tuesday in a phone interview. "We tend to vilify individuals and act like they're the cause of this when, in fact, they're a symptom," says Levy.
