What follows is just one part of an ongoing survival fiction series written by John Rourke and has been published on Amazon. It is being made available here for free. A new entry is published every day. The story is written in a daily journal format.
July 24th Looting, stealing, or survival?
Bill, Neil, Eric and I went out today looking for supplies.
We have a list of items we are looking for:
- any tools that can be used for gardening
- any kind of communication tools – walkie-talkies, CB's, etc.
- seeds for gardens
- toilet paper
- food and water (of course)
- hunting/utility knives
- trash bags
- sanitation supplies – soap, body wash, shampoo
- first aid/medical stuff
- rope, string
- fishing supplies
- gardening soil/fertilizer/Round Up
We decided to go to 3 different businesses depending upon time and how the area's looked.
First – we went to a local golf course approx 3-4 miles from us called Pine Tuck. Why? We figured they must have some fertilizer there and if no one else had thought of it they likely would have a lot of it.
It took us about 10 minutes to get over there. We did see a few people tending to their homes and gardens. Interesting. You might have thought it was a day like any other day except there were people walking around with guns near the homes – like guards. When we arrived to Pine Tuck the clubhouse had been ransacked. No food or water. We managed to find the greens keepers shed and like we thought – found a bunch of fertilizer. Stuff was in powder form and must be applied as a liquid when mixed with water. High in nitrogen. We found some rakes and shovels as well as some riding lawnmowers. Surprisingly we were able to siphon gas out of all the mowers – no gas found anywhere else.
Next we headed 6 miles away to a local plastics manufacturer. They made some kind of packaging product. Not very many actual manufacturers around to choose from. We hit the jackpot there. Though it was obvious the place had been picked through before. I guess people were looking for something different. We found the Maintenance Managers office and pried a filing cabinet open that was locked and found a bunch of batteries, a few sets of industrial walkie-talkies, duct tape, flashlights, rope, some chain, a few tools, and some work gloves. We also managed to find a few wall-mounted first aid kits. Good stuff.
Lastly – we headed to a small country store just outside of town called "Wilson's". Much to our surprise when we approached there were people walking around out front – and on the roof. The folks on the roof were armed and looked to be keeping order and security for the store. We all discussed what we would do and decided to approach and check it out. We pulled up and Neil and I went in while Bill sat behind the wheel of the Jeep and M in the back seat. The owners – Jake and Nancy Wilson, still had their business going and were selling and trading based on a barter system. Wilson's had a bunch of stuff – but nothing that we really needed, at least not right now. We said a friendly hello and wished them a good day.
Overall it was a good trip and we are likely to make more trips in the future. I was glad that Neil was becoming more a part of the team. He's not so bad.
One thing that someone asked – Are we now looters? Are we stealing from these places?
My response and opinion is we are surviving.

How Chocolate Came to Be
Project Description
How Chocolate Came to Be
Chocolate bundles together deep contradictions: rich, dark, sinful, healthy, sweet, bitter; it can be a food, drink, and flavor. Few substances we consume today permeate so many realms of life, from the exceptional to the mundane. The question my research poses is: "why is chocolate so unusually potent, transcendent, and contradictory?" A crucial part of the answer lies in the role of chocolate as a shorthand for blackness and the dilemmas of race. This association is due to more than color: one of the deep dilemmas of chocolate production is its reliance on slavery, a dependence that grew more entrenched over the course of the colonial period. Cacao, the tree whose seeds people use to make chocolate, was one of the first agricultural sources of wealth in the Spanish empire. The Izalcos region of today's western El Salvador, an unequaled producer of cacao, quickly became one of the richest encomiendas in all the Indies and a key player in the genesis of colonial legal and contraband commercial practices. In the face of rapidly declining indigenous population, both free and enslaved people of African descent became ever more essential as agricultural labor, but even more importantly, to provision daily needs for Izalqueños in subsistence, supplies, and even in Christian spiritual life. Africans and their descendants played decisive roles as entrepreneurs, facilitators, and defenders in this volatile and dynamic economy, inhabiting a netherworld of enforced illegal practice, serving as a convenient scapegoat, and being scions of virtue. Changes in material culture, configurations of laboring, political, economic, and social spaces, imagery, and accounts about chocolate at home and abroad show that "chocolate" was a vehicle for defining new relationships with the colonial economy, tastes of the body politic, and colors of changing social realms.

Wow! It has been such an exciting week for Science at Russell Scott.
The theme of our Science week was 'Space Exploration' and I would like to thank all those children, parents and carers who took time out of their week to celebrate space exploration.
From dressing up to model making, from space buggies to space pictures and from star gazing to fizzy rockets, our children have had lots of fun at home and school with the space science activities suggested.
It has been a pleasure to open the Science hotline emails every day – thank you again!
The video below gives a taster of some of the super things you have been up to a home.
Some of our top Science home science videos will appear below in the week of the 20th March.
Thank you again to everyone who gave up time to celebrate the week with us.

Box score
Hail Varsity
Corn Nation
Husker Online
----------------------------- 1 2 total Michigan 40 51 91 NEBRASKA 36 49 85 -----------------------------
Webster, who was 12-of-20 from the field in topping his previous career best for the second time this season, was one of three Huskers to finish in double figures. Glynn Watson Jr. added 22 points, including four 3-pointers, while Evan Taylor added 11 for the Huskers, who fell to 9-8 overall and 3-2 in the Big Ten.
Nebraska shot 56 percent on the day, including 9-of-18 from 3-point range, but Michigan shot 54 percent, went 11-of-22 from the 3-point line and was 26-of-30 from the foul line, as opposed to 4-of-5 for the Huskers from the charity stripe.
Moritz Wagner scored 23 points to pace four Wolverines in double figures, while Zak Irvin (21) and Derrick Walton Jr. (20) both went over 20 points for the hosts.
Nebraska, which was seeking its first 3-0 conference road start in more than four decades, whittled a nine-point second-half deficit to 69-68 after a Taylor jumper with 5:47 left, but could not get over the hump. Walton Jr, who had 16 of his 20 points after halftime, hit a 3-pointer to stretch the lead back to four.
The Huskers would not go away, as a Watson 3-pointer with 4:43 left trimmed the deficit back to 73-71, but Walton answered back with a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws to extend the margin to 78-71.
Nebraska stayed in range and was within 86-80 after Watson's fourth 3-pointer and had a chance to cut the deficit to three, but Jack McVeigh's 3-pointer was off the mark and Michigan held on.
Earlier in the half, Nebraska trailed 54-45 before Taylor's 3-pointer started a 5-0 run, as Nebraska pulled to within 54-50 after a Glynn Watson steal and layup with 13:08 left. The Huskers kept chipping away, as a pair of Jack McVeigh 3-pointers pulled the Huskers within 59-56 with 11:51 left, but Michigan answered with a 3-pointer from Wilson to make it a six-point game.
In the first half, both teams were effective offensively, as Michigan took a 40-36 lead into the locker room. Nebraska shot 61 percent in the opening half, as Tai Webster led all scorers with 17 first-half points on 7-8 shooting from the field. Michigan shot 50 percent from the field, including five 3-pointers, while Moritz Wagner scored 14 points, including a pair of 3-pointer.
The Huskers, who never led in the opening 20 minutes, were down by as many as eight on three occasions before rallying behind a switch to a 1-3-1 defense. Trailing 30-22, a Webster 3-pointer and a three-point play from Jordy Tshimanga cut the deficit to 30-28. Michigan quickly ran off five straight points, including a 3-pointer from Wagner, before Webster scored six straight points, as his two free throws with 1:48 left in the half pulled the Huskers within 35-34.
Michigan responded with five straight points, including a long 3-pointer from Duncan Robinson, before Webster's final hoop of the half made it a four-point game.
Nebraska trailed 30-22 before switching things up with a 1-3-1 and running off six straight points on a Webster 3-pointer and a 3-point play from Jordy Tshimanga with 4:45 left in the half.
The Huskers return to action on Wednesday evening, as they host Ohio State. Tipoff is at 8 p.m. (CT) and a limited number of tickets are available by visiting Huskers.com or calling 800-8-BIGRED.
Postgame Notes
*-Nebraska's field goal percentage (.562) and 3-point percentage (.500) was its second-highest total of the season.
*-Tai Webster finished with career-highs in both points (28) and rebounds (nine). His previous high in points was 23 set three other times. Webster finished in double figures for the 18th straight game dating back to last season *-Today marked the fifth time this season Nebraska had multiple 20-point scorers, but the first time NU lost this season in those five contests.
*-Glynn Watson has scored 20 or more points in three of the Huskers' five Big Ten contests.
*-Michigan's 91 is the high by a Husker opponent this season (Iowa 90)
*-Michigan shot .540, the second-highest total against NU this season. Michigan's .500 from 3-point range was a season high against the Huskers.

We knew Jennifer Lawrence was awesome but we didn't realise just how much she rocks until now.
While walking the red carpet for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the Oscar-winning actress spotted an upset fan in her wheelchair on the other side of the barriers.
Instead of walking past and ignoring the crying girl, the actress clambered through the barriers to go to her side.
Dressed in a wintry red coat, the Hunger Games actress, crouched down and spent time talking to the girl, before signing her poster, posing for a photo and enveloping her in a hug.
Later the blonde beauty wowed with her new Miley-meets-Victoria Beckham style hair and her nude floor-length backless dress.
But the starlet nearly missed the red carpet completely after forgetting her passport.
Take a look below to see all the pictures from the Hunger Games: Catching Fire world premiere.

Product Description
The "Select Cuvee" Chardonnay has an appealing nose of fruit and oak - the oak comes from 60% new Burgundian barrels in which the Chardonnay was aged for 10 months. The forward fruit on the palate boasts of pear, which flows nicely onto tropical fruit flavors on the finish. These tropical fruit flavors are representative of Carneros - pineapple, mango and peach, which balances nicely with the oak, creating a surprising freshness and crispness to the complex structure of the wine. The finish goes on and on - great length and great depth in a great wine.
Wine Spectator
A brilliant display of ripe flavors, with complex, concentrated spicy pear, fig and apricot flavors that are tight and focused, finishing with a pretty beam of flavors, highlighted by light toasty oak.Score: 92, James Laube, April 30, 2004
Wine Enthusiast
Big, bold and delicious, a full-throttle Chard that's drenched with new oak notes of vanilla, spice and smoky char. Below that, the pear and pineapple flavors float in a creamy texture that's enhanced with good acidity. Give it a year to knit together.Score: 90, Steve Heimoff, May 1, 2004
Wine Advocate
The 2002 Chardonnay exhibits aromas of green apple skins intermixed with notions of mango, papaya, and lemon butter. The wine is medium-bodied, fruity, and ideal for drinking over the next several years.Score: 89, Robert Parker, February 2005

While there's perks to bringing your lunch to the office — saving the moolah and at least attempting to be healthier — there are a few food fails we all conveniently forget to apply to ourselves until someone else does it.
Like those takeout leftovers you just heated up? Pee-yew. And ya know how you can hear yourself chewing those chips? So can everyone else.
And it's not just us. We've all had a day ruined by someone bringing in a stanky sack lunch. Because of this (and because someone in this office chews his food so loudly he makes applesauce sound crunchy — you know who you are, ANDY), we thought we'd send out a friendly P.S.A to remind everyone to please just not inflict the following foods on the rest of us.
1. Tuna. Or how about just no water creature of any form? K thanks.
2. Funions. See how 'onion' is in the name? Quit that. The smell wafts around entire cubicle farms in minutes and makes your breath less than pleasant to boot.
3. Food that crunches. We thought of this as soon as we said Funions. ANDY.
4. Salads. Because unless you're a magician, you're going to crunch your way through that salad and be hungry again in 23.7 minutes. And then you're going to be moody all afternoon.
5. Soup. It smells great, but it doesn't sound great. Enough with the slurping.
6. Eggs. In any form. They smell like butt. Save them for weekend brunches where they belong.
7. Popcorn. Because it either smells amazing and makes everyone insta-hungry, or you burn it and it makes everyone insta-nauseous. Lose-lose.

Oatmeal cookies, with tasty coconut and toffee pieces! These are my new favorite cookie! So much flavor!
Oatmeal Coconut Toffee Cookies, are drool-worthy!
Let me tell you… These cookies just won my heart! Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, are one of my all-time favorite cookies. But… these are so darn good! Seriously, a new favorite cookie!
Ready to bake immediatly, or can be chilled in refrigerator. Made with 1 stick of butter and way less sugar, than normal recipes call for. Even our 5 year old son, commented on how "awesome" these cookies were. Major flavor boost, with only a 1/2 cup of coconut. I toasted the coconut and it's up to you, if you feel like doing that. And 3/4 cup of chocolate toffee bits.
We couldn't get enough, of these cookies!
Simple cookies, with simple ingredients.
These oatmeal coconut toffee cookies, are made with basic and simple ingredients. Making a fresh batch of homemade cookies, is very rewarding. Especially, a simple recipe. That can be easily made, from simple ingredients. Nothing complicated here. Bake a batch today, and enjoy with your family!
The bake time for soft cookies, is 11 minutes, at 350 F degrees. For a slightly, crunchier cookie, bake 2- 3 minutes longer.
Oatmeal Coconut Toffee Cookies – Makes 2 dozen
- 1 stick of butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tabplespoons sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut ( I toasted mine)
- 3/4 cup chocolate toffee bits
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups quick oats
Step One: Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Place a on non-stick baking mat on a baking sheet, set aside. Cream together, the butter and both sugar. Add in the, eggs and vanilla. Mix well, until eggs are fully incorporated. Add in the remaining ingredients: the baking soda, pinch of salt, coconut, toffee bits, flour and oats. Mix until, everything has been combined.
Step Two: Scoop out 2 Tablespoons of dough(1/8 cup) and form into balls. Place on prepared baking sheet, 1 inch apart and bake in the preheated oven, for 11 minutes. Immediatly, after they have been removed from the oven, press down with a flat bottomed spatula. This will flatten them. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes, and place on wired cooling racks. Can be stored in airtight container, on counter. Enjoy!
Note: These cookies, will not flatten. You can press them down before baking, or after they come out of the oven. ( I pressed mine down. Immediately, after they baked.)
Note: For crunchy cookies: bake for 2-3 minutes longer, than recommended time.
Note: For toasted coconut: Preheat oven to 275 F degrees. Place the coconut on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until coconut is lightly toasted. (Keep a close watch on the coconut, it can burn very quickly.)

Today dawned sunny and warm and even in my earnest state laziness of late I could not deny that an outdoor run had to happen.
As Ella and I finally exited the house (1/2 an hour late for preschool simply because I didn't feel like getting out of bed in time to take her. What is that? Earnest laziness is what it is), I noticed that the daffodils were juuuuust starting to bloom and I was all, "well HELLO Spring, so nice of you to finally show up".
But then I felt a bit hypocritical about chastising Spring for her tardiness given the fact that I was leaving the house 1/2 an hour late for preschool just 'cos. But that sense of irony soon left me as I shuffled around the woods and I started getting a little bit irritated again because THIS is not a springy sight you know?
Come on now, we're in mid-April. It's been almost six freakin' months without leaves on trees. Where are the leaves? The buds? The blossoms?! I AM TIRED OF STARK BRANCHES and I have only been back for a couple of weeks. Imagine if I'd been here this whole time. What am I going to do next year when I am? OMG cue panic attack…
Wait where was I? Anyway, I was shuffling around the woods looking at all the bare trees and the large number of dead fallen tree limbs and yay verily, entirely dead trees littering the place and I was thinking, "apart from making me fear that I am going to be the victim of falling tree head trauma, this place is not exactly inspiring me today. In fact it's just downright unattractive, bordering on depressing and not to be rude woods, but seriously, DO SOMETHING."
(And that's what the title of this post is all about because as I was listening to my music and in the absence of an unrequited love, I decided to dedicate the song Say Something, to the bare, bare, leafless trees and to Spring in Ohio in general..).
Anyway, I lumbered on (that's actually the perfect pun right there, sorry to point it out and ruin it but it is,) and finally I reached the end of my course. I moved into a clearing to do some yoga to stretch out my pudgy little limbs, and cued up some Motab for the event (that's Mormon Tabernacle Choir for those not well versed in Mormonese.) So there I was Sun Salutationing…Sun Saluting? to All Creatures of Our God and King, and as I moved into downward dog and looked at my hands pressing into the bare soil, I noticed that there were all sorts of things going on there, little blades of grass pressing through, twigs, tiny insects, my hands themselves which when you think about it are incredible marvels of nature. I straightened up into tree pose just as Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring started playing and at that very moment I saw it. Tiny green leaves and a tree with unmistakable buds. Not beautiful yet (or in focus for that matter), but hopeful all the same…
It was a poetic moment. It was. And I'm not sure where I was going with all of this but hang on it will come to me.
Oh yes ok, so I guess what I'm increasingly realising about life is that you do tend to see what you are looking for, and if you want to be inspired you have to put yourself into inspiring situations and settings. Even though the woods weren't particularly picturesque today, if I hadn't gone out there today and done the little things I did, I would have missed a moment where I felt seen and acknowledged by God and the Universe. It may seem like a very trivial silly moment and perhaps it was to anyone else, but it was somewhat sublime and certainly sustaining to me.
Speaking of inspiration, thank you so much to the many good souls who have reached out to me with ideas for service. I love and admire you all so much for your interest in helping me to find a worthy cause to throw myself into! Thank you thank you! I am actively looking into several of them and will update you in a blog coming soon. If you still want to submit an idea, the deadline for consideration and award giving is April 15th! That's Wednesday!
One more weird thing that I wanted to make mention of. Last night when I went to bed I asked God to make me a little more understanding, to help me to see things from the point of view of others, to have an increased awareness of how rarely things are actually about me and are in fact about a myriad of other factors going on in the complicated, difficult lives of others. Basically to help me grow up. I have come to recognize how very driven I am by the need for genuine connection and intimacy with others, but that it often brings with it some unrealistic and unreasonable expectations from my relationships.
After this prayer, I fell asleep and I had a very vivid dream about a relationship I have. In this relationships I have often felt insecure and unsatisfied leading to feelings of inadequacy and anger. In my dream there was a scenario with this individual wherein I felt truly hurt and misunderstood. I felt like I had been unkindly dealt with, I felt ganged up on, impotent, frustrated and embarrassed.
Instead of flying into a rage as I have in the past, I cheerfully said that I needed to go home and take a nap. In my dream I went home and cried. Then I went back to the individual and I said, "I owe you an apology." I was shown all the ways in which I had misunderstood that person, how I had made them feel ganged up on and hurt. As I talked to the person I poured out my sincere regret for having treated them with so little of the understanding I craved, I cried as I apologized for the insensitive things I had said and done when it was all about me and my feelings, I asked for forgiveness rather than for understanding. Instead of hostility, I felt genuine tenderness. My impression of how it all ended up was unresolved. The relationship was not repaired to what it once was, there was still an element of sadness about the whole thing, but the change in my perspective was pretty powerful. Enough so, that when I was woken up at an unholy hour by my son's alarm blaring away and I had to get up and track it down in his disaster of a room and turn it off and then go downstairs to track him down to turn it off properly before it started blaring again, I did not have my automatic "woken too soon due to some idiot's idiocy" rage-on. I thought, "I wonder why he got up before his alarm, he must have a lot to do and be really stressed poor kid." I was vividly reminded of the many times that I had left my alarm to go off once for an entire weekend in my locked room when I went home from boarding school! It was somewhat of a miraculous shift in perspective.
I'm not optimistic enough to think that this new glimmer of enlightenment will be a permanent state of understanding and patience, but I am hoping that the little glimpse into the other side will stay with me and that maybe it will go a little way toward the ever elusive "growing up" process. Gah, that process is harder than I thought it would be! Didn't you think that when you were pushing 40 you'd be a wonderful, evolved human being? Me too. I'm really glad that even though I am often so willfully immature and so actively self destructive that God and the universe never gives up on me.
And grace shall lead you home.
Here's some more inspiration I've come across this week. Thanks to my dear friend Deborah for these gems:
The Moral Bucket List
20 Things to Start Doing in Your Relationships
and to my personal spokeswoman Glennon Doyle of Momastery who has been commissioned to speak all the emotions and thoughts in my muddled head with so much more eloquence and compassion than I ever could:
Why the World needs the Mentally Different
Say something, I'm giving up on you..
Today dawned sunny and warm and even in my earnest state laziness of late I could not deny that an outdoor run had to happen.

Glad that you were able to hear Spring's little voice - haha! And your front garden is lovely! What are they??? Re: something big to do, while in Swaziland recently realised how much change in Africa is all about education. We can't all educate many children, but perhaps we can contribute towards educating one?

Been busy, but on track and feeling great!
Thursday, February 21, 2013
I've been doing great... on track... Lost what I gained, which is great. Feeling alot better. I've been busy, but what's new? lol
My son's show, Avenue Q is awesome! Soooo hilarious. It's finishing up this weekend and I'm the full-on, supportive mom who is going to all the shows and working the lobby, helping out and loving every minute of it. He's awesome in the show, the other kids are awesome in the show... just great fun! Next show is Chorus Line and there is talk of him doing Guys and Dolls which will be scheduled before Chorus Line opens... So, it's always something.
As for what's been going on with me. Well, I had some pretty cool news. Last year was my "Let's get healthy year"... Resolution came late, March... but it was, let's lose this weight and well, you all know where I am with that... This year, my resolution was... I'm going to write a book on the weight loss journey and I want to get in a magazine with my weightloss story. Well, the "news" is that my sister-in-law ran into someone who works for a very well known magazine and was telling her about my weightloss success... and this magazine happens to have a very well known issue that comes out once a year and I guess this person has the ability to write my story for that issue and made the offer to do so! Sooooo, I am currently MORE motivated to keep on with my journey to keep striving for my goal. We have an email address and an offer, so I'm going to do all in my power to deliver the "goods" so to speak and then it's in God's hands. If it's meant to be, it'll happen. I'm very excited, though!
I needed this boost of motivation, that's for sure. I was just hovering and now I'm NOT. I have been amping up the exercising. At my place of employment, we have an indoor walking path outlined for the employees... it's a loop that includes two floors, connected by two stairwells. I can complete 6 loops in 15 minutes and I've taken to walking on both of my breaks. So, I started Tuesday at my second break and have been going strong ever since. I also have been coming home and walking with my Leslie Sansone walking dvd's as well. 3 miles both yesterday and tonight. I really think that upping the activity will show up on the scale and I'm very excited to see my weigh in on Monday! Even though I do tend to jump on the scale daily...

Congrats! Just use wisdom and don't overdo things. You have lost a lot of weight very quickly. I'm sure the magazine will feel more comfortable publishing your story if they know there is a doctor okaying things and keeping an eye out. I love your enthusiasm and positive attitude and hope it shines thru! Congrats to your son also. How fun!

Several magazine scans have emerged and it is believed these depict Lamborghini's upcoming concept set to receive the "Asterion" moniker. The vehicle will reportedly feature a hybrid powertrain judging by the lightning bolt in the "o" but this information has not been confirmed yet. Details are scarce at the moment, but the model is believed to have a conventional V10 engine, likely the 5.2-liter naturally aspirated motor, working with three electric motors in order to grant a combined output of no less than 900 HP (662 kW).
Lamborghini will unveil the Asterion concept during the first press day of the 2014 Paris Motor Show programmed for October 2. It's highly unlikely a production version is being concerned since we all know the company is busy these days putting the finishing touches on the Urus which will likely be introduced towards the end of 2017.

Three years ago I launched CAKE&WHISKEY from my mint-green 1940's kitchen table. Two years before that I was covered in sticky, sugary fluff helping my son run his mail-order marshmallow company. Earlier still I was taking custom orders for handmade bags and aprons that I would sew from that same kitchen table into the wee hours of the morning while my babes slept. And before that, I was a star seller on eBay, making ends meet with the sale of vintage DVF dresses and Hanna Andersson jumpers. Interspersed in that decade, I was writing fresh content for my blog and navigating my way through the world of freelance writing.
For those years, while my little ones napped or played with blocks, endless loads of laundry tumbled in the dryer and Sami and EJ's latest drama on Days of Our Lives unfolded in the background (ahem), I worked from home. And what I found is that it is both amazingly glorious and enormously grinding…usually simultaneously. Self-discipline became my bedrock because distraction reared its head every hour of every day. Self-affirmation became my closest friend when there was no one to give me the high five I deserved. Self-motivation became the skill that I eventually mastered, because without it I would be out of business.
This issue is an homage to women around the globe who are doing some really amazing things in the world of business, right from the home offices, kitchen tables, front steps, snuggly beds and cozy nooks of their homes.
Some are doing so by choice, others because there is no other option.
Some are corporate, others are entrepreneurial.
Some stay barefoot while others are breaking out their Frye boots to board a flight.
Some are wanting to make their mark. Others look for no fame at all.
What proves to be the thread that connects them all is calling the comforts of home a perk of the job.
Gone are (most of) my days at the mint-green vintage kitchen table. Today I sit at a real office desk with swivel chair. I have a business mailing address and hold meetings in a bona fide office space.
There are days I miss the routine of pouring a fourth cup of coffee from my own coffeepot and listening to Grover's latest mishap on PBS from the other room while my kid drops more Cheerios into the couch crevices. I miss doing squats and jumping jacks between emails, prepping dinner at 2 pm instead of 6:30 and having a girlfriend drop by for an unexpected visit. I miss letting my mood dictate my work hours (Shutting off that too-early alarm with a promise, "I'll just work late tonight."). I miss my marathon wearing of yoga pants (You really CAN wear UGG boots with a sweater and 2-day-worn yoga pants to Starbucks and look PERFECTLY legit!). Most of all, I miss Sami and EJ.
Okay, okay…I tease.

How to be a loathsome New Yorker
By Tom Smith
Even funnier, James, is when kids drown in the tidal surge. What a hoot! And then there are those ghastly trailer homes that get blown away. Heee! Heee! They're so tacky, they deserve it. People losing everything, especially cherished, irreplaceable items like photo albums, is good for a chuckle or two. You go, Mother Nature! For just general, overall amusement, there are the marriages that break up because of stress, the kids whose lives never get all the way back to normal, and the jobs that get lost because of economic losses. There's nothing like massive human suffering for a good belly laugh.
James, your penance is to go to Florida and help some people, whose feet you are not worthy to lick, clean up what remains of their lives, and then spend a week thinking of 100 ways to be less disgusting. And keep your next shameful admission to yourself. Remember that when people say they have a shameful admission, they are usually just kidding.

A number of pear varieties are being put through their paces as horticulture experts and researchers attempt to keep up with consumer demands in the lucrative Asian export market.
The project, which is jointly funded by Agriculture Victoria and the Victorian Endowment for Science, Knowledge and Innovation sustainable agriculture fellowship program, will explore management systems for new pear cultivars.
The varieties have been specifically engineered to try and satisfy consumer demands, particularly in regards to sweetness, dry matter content, colour development and flesh firmness.
The study, which is being conducted by Agriculture Victoria research scientists and Italian research scientist Professor Luca Corelli-Grappadelli, has already seen research into pear varieties Deliza and Lanya, which are known for their desirable texture and ability to store well.
Mr Corelli-Grappadelli said researchers hoped to discover how the pear trees coped in the climate in an attempt to create best practice guidelines for a number of areas.
''(The study) goes in the direction of showing ways of achieving high yields by not using so much water, which if (farmers) have to pay for the water, or they are on restrictions on the amount of water they have to use, this work will be relevant in those issues,'' he said.
''Under the constraints for water use that agriculture faces here, so many people want a share of the water and agriculture is less and less.
''We can help them be water savvy.''
Given the pears were new varieties, Mr Corelli-Grappadelli said it would take time to get used to it.
''These are new animals, so more targetted work to provide specific knowledge for these varieties (is needed),'' he said.
''It's really, for the grower, walking a tight line, and the more information he has, obviously the better it is.''
Agriculture Victoria project leader Bruce Tomkins said the study could lead to a re-invigorated Victorian pear industry and increased demand.
''It is anticipated the project will deliver more efficient pear production systems and will enable producers to produce fruit that meets consumer expectations, thereby driving increased demand both in domestic and Asian markets,'' he said.

[Voice Mail:
Notification (4202):
RNA Notification Interval]
Use this option to set how long IntraMail will wait, after it dials an unanswered non-pager callout destination, before retrying the callout number.
There are three types of unanswered non-pager callouts:
If the callout rings the destination longer than the 4202-05: Wait for Answer Non-Pager Callout Attempts option.
If the destination answers, says "Hello" (or the system detects answer supervision) and then hangs up without dialing 1 to log onto their mailbox. This typically happens if someone unfamiliar with notification answers the callout, or if the callout is picked up by an answering machine.
If the destination answers and then hangs up without saying "Hello." This typically happens if someone unfamiliar with the notification answers the callout (like the above example), or if the call is picked up by an answering machine with insufficient outgoing message volume.

I had the chance to visit Edison and Ford Estates and I'm going to describe it in one word for you… BEAUTIFUL. Seriously, from the gardens to the greens its a gorgeous place to visit.
The Edison & Ford Winter Estates boasts over 20 acres of botanical gardens, nine historic buildings including Edison's Botanic Research Laboratory and the Edison Ford Museum which contains an impressive collection of inventions, artifacts and special exhibit galleries. The Edison Ford offers a variety of tours, insuring that there is something for everyone.
Check out the amazing scenery in my pictures below.
If you are in the Fort Myers area I highly suggest you check out Edison and Ford Estates. (Ask for Tom and tell him Sarah sent you there. 🙂 ).

Ed. Note: Check out Kurt Kallenbach discussing the Season of Treason. Here's a Mark Allen Wasmuth and Rabbit Hole Research playlist. Check out this Dean Clifford video. Here are the documents referenced in this presentation. "Power…..power in the blood." Alabama 3. Check out cool videos here.
MWASMUTH This presentation explains some of the issues the American People face in this country today and why. It shows a clear path of destruction of your rights over the last 150 years. This is not everything that is wrong, but it will get you looking at the real truths we are facing.
The reason I did this video is I wanted to show the people the proof of what has happened and show you the right places to start looking so you can educate yourself. One thing I promise you is this: if you go in search of what has taken us to where we are today you will find an amazing story that goes back thousands of years.
The other thing I want to tell you is this, and though it may be hard for people to understand, it's not Washington D.C.'s fault. The people have failed to take responsibility for themselves and their government, so when you fail to take responsibility for your actions someone else will, and you will not like how that ends up. Find out more.
Daily Paul I've done extensive research into this matter and it seems to me that The United States exists in two forms: The original United States that was in operation until 1860; a collection of sovereign Republics in the union. Under the original Constitution the States controlled the Federal Government; the Federal Government did not control the States and had very little authority.
The original United States has been usurped by a separate and different UNITED STATES formed in 1871, which only controls the District of Columbia and its territories, and which is actually a corporation (the UNITED STATES CORPORATION) that acts as our current government.
The United States Corporation operates under Corporate/Commercial/Public Law rather than Common/Private Law.
The original Constitution was never removed; it has simply been dormant since 1871. It is still intact to this day. This fact was made clear by Supreme Court Justice Marshall Harlan (Downes v. Bidwell, 182, U.S. 244 1901) by giving the following dissenting opinion: "Two national governments exist; one to be maintained under the Constitution, with all its restrictions; the other to be maintained by Congress outside and Independently of that Instrument."
The Constitution of the UNITED STATES CORPORATION bypasses the original Constitution for the United States of America, which explains why our Congressmen and Senators don't abide by it, and the President can write Executive Orders to do whatever he/she wants. They are following corporate laws that completely strip sovereigns of their God given unalienable rights. Corporate/Commercial/Public Law is not sovereign (private), as it is an agreement between two or more parties under contract. Common Law (which sovereigns operate under) is not Commercial Law; it is personal and private.
Here is a Timeline of events that lead to the current United States.
•In 1788 (January 1), The United States was officially bankrupt.
•In 1790 (August 4), Article One of the U.S. Statues at Large, pages 138-178, abolished the States of the Republic and created Federal Districts. In the same year, the former States of the Republic reorganized as Corporations and their legislatures wrote new State Constitutions, absent defined boundaries, which they presented to the people of each state for a vote…the new State Constitutions fraudulently made the people "Citizens" of the new Corporate States. A Citizen is also defined as a "corporate fiction."
•In 1845, Congress passed legislation that would ultimately allow Common Law to be usurped by Admiralty Law. The yellow fringe placed at the bottom of court flags shows this is still true. Before 1845, Americans were considered sovereign individuals who governed themselves under Common Law.
•In 1860 – Congress was adjourned Sine Die – Lincoln could not legally reconvene Congress.
•In 1861, President Lincoln declared a National Emergency and Martial Law, which gave the President unprecedented powers and removed it from the other branches. This has NEVER been reversed.
•In 1863, the Lieber Code was established taking away your property and your rights.
•From 1864-1867, Several Reconstruction Acts were passed forcing the states to ratify the 14th Amendment, which made everyone slaves.
•In 1865, the capital was moved to Washington, D.C., a separate country – not a part of the United States of America.
•In 1871, The United States became a Corporation with a new constitution and a new corporate government, and the original constitutional government was vacated to become dormant, but it was never terminated. The new constitution had to be ratified by the people according to the original constitution, but it never was. The whole process occurred behind closed doors. The people are the source of financing for this new government.
•In 1917, the Trading with the Enemy Act (TWEA) was passed. This insightful video from [link to movielocker.com/4084)] states the following: "This act was implemented to deal with the countries we were at war with during World War I. It gave the President and the Alien Property Custodian the right to seize the assets of the people included in this act and if they wanted to do business in this country they could apply for a license to do so. By 1921, the Federal Reserve Bank (the trustee for the Alien Property Custodian) held over $700,000,000 in trust." Understand that this trust was based on our assets, not theirs.
•In 1933, 48 Stat 1, of the TWEA was amended to include the United States Person because they wanted to take our gold away. Executive Order 6102 was created to make it illegal for a U.S. Citizen to own gold. In order for the Government to take our gold away and violate our Constitutional rights, we were reclassified as ENEMY COMBATANTS."
•In 1933, there was a second United States bankruptcy. In the first bankruptcy the United States collateralized all public lands. In the 1933 bankruptcy, the U.S. government collateralized the private lands of the people (a lien) – they borrowed money against our private lands. They were then mortgaged. That is why we pay property taxes. From a speech in Congress in The Bankruptcy of the United States Congressional Record, March 17, 1993, Vol. 33, page H-1303, a Representative addressing the House stated:
"…It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1, Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and insolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73rd Congress m session June 5, 1933 – Joint Resolution To Suspend The Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clause dissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official capacities of all United States Governmental Offices, Officers, and Departments and is further evidence that the United States Federal Government exists today in name only.
The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now operating within a de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers. With the Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved, the receivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for the United States. This new form of government is known as a Democracy, being an established Socialist/Communist order under a new governor for America. This act was instituted and established by transferring and/or placing the Office of the Secretary of Treasury to that of the Governor of the International Monetary Fund. Public Law 94-564, page 8, Section H.R. 13955 reads in part: "The U.S. Secretary of Treasury receives no compensation for representing the United States…
Prior to 1913, most Americans owned clear, allodial title to property, free and clear of any liens of mortgages until the Federal Reserve Act (1913) "Hypothecated" all property within the Federal United States to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, in which the Trustees (stockholders) held legal title. The U.S. Citizen (tenant, franchisee) was registered as a "beneficiary" of the trust via his/her birth certificate. In 1933, the Federal United States hypothecated all of the present and future properties, assets, and labor of their "subjects," the 14th Amendment U.S. Citizen to the Federal Reserve System. In return, the Federal Reserve System agreed to extend the federal United States Corporation all of the credit "money substitute" it needed.
Like any debtor, the Federal United States government had to assign collateral and security to their creditors as a condition of the loan. Since the Federal United States didn't have any assets, they assigned the private property of their "economic slaves," the U.S. Citizens, as collateral against the federal debt. They also pledged the unincorporated federal territories, national parks, forests, birth certificates, and nonprofit organizations as collateral against the federal debt. All has already been transferred as payment to the international bankers.
Unwittingly, America has returned to its pre-American Revolution feudal roots whereby all land is held by a sovereign and the common people had no rights to hold allodial title to property. Once again, We the People are the tenants and sharecroppers renting our own property from a Sovereign in the guise of the Federal Reserve Bank. We the People have exchanged one master for another."
•In 1944, Washington D.C. was deeded to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) by the Breton Woods Agreement. The IMF is made up of wealthy people that own most of the banking industries of the world. It is an organized group of bankers that have taken control of most governments of the world so the bankers run the world. Congress, the IRS, and the President work for the IMF. The IRS is not a U.S. government agency. It is an agency of the IMF. (Diversified Metal Products v. IRS et al. CV-93-405E-EJE U.S.D.C.D.I., Public Law 94-564, Senate Report 94-1148 pg. 5967, Reorganization Plan No. 26, Public Law 102-391.)
"The Supreme Court has said the De Jure Government offices still exist but the people have failed to occupy them.
Remember Downs v. Bidwell and the dissenting opinion of Justice Marshall Harlan? He said that two national governments exist; one to be maintained under the Constitution, with all its restrictions. This is one that We the people need to force our elected public officials to occupy – De Jure rule.
We need to change that by organizing Grand Juries and putting our officials back under De jure rule and out of the Corporate (or Military) Rule that they are currently operating under.
Our elected officials will then have to operate under the limits of their Oath of office to uphold the U.S. and State Constitutions, circa 1860. When they violate the Oath it's a capital crime.
The reason we go back to 1860 is because that is the last time we had lawful laws in this country.
Where do the people get their power to convene a Grand Jury? The Magna Carta, 1215. Our Founding Fathers looked back to history for precedent when they decided they wanted to change their government. What they found was the Magna Carta Liberatum, the Great Charter of Freedoms. It set a precedent that changed the face of England forever, by establishing that the King was not above the law.
King John of England signed the Magna Carta after immense pressure from the Church and his barons (the people). The King often lived above the law, violating both Feudal and Common Law, and was heavily criticized for his foreign policy and actions in England. The Barons, with the support of the Church, pressured King John to spell out a list of their rights and guarantee that those rights would be enforced. The Barons provided a draft, and after some negotiation, King John put his seal to the Magna Carta in Runnymede, in June of 1215.
Section 61 set rules for establishing the Grand Jury. It states: Since we have granted all these things for God, for the better ordering of our kingdom, and to allay the discord that has arisen between us and our barons (people), and since we desire that they shall be enjoyed in their entirety, with lasting strength, forever, we give and grant to the barons the following security: The barons shall elect twenty-five of their number to keep, and cause to be observed with all their might, the peace and liberties granted and confirmed to them by this charter. If we, our chief justice, our officials, or any of our servants offend in any respect against any man, or transgress any of the articles of the peace or of this security, and the offense is made known to four of the said twenty-five barons, they shall come to us."
"In Politics, nothing is accidental.
If something happens, be assured
it was planned this way."

See and Eat the World - Heritage Days! Sep 16, 2008
Heritage Days in Edmonton is a weekend long 'festival' you could say. It coincides with Heritage Day (Canadian Holiday) aka "August Long Weekend."
In William Hawrelak park (a MASSIVE city park btw) many countries are represented by a fairly large 'booth'/tent section. Walk around and check out what they got, some tents show photos, tools and dress common in that culture. Some countries put on performances (dancing/singing) a few times a day. Sometimes the audience is called up to participate in the singing and dancing (VERY fun!).
My favorite part about this festival is the food. Yes, I said it. I am a ethnic food addict. Specialty meals and treats from cultures can be bought (with meal tickets, relates to roughly 5 dollars for a decent portion) from most tents. For some, like me, this a great way to taste the world in a days work!:) Most places of very authentic quality.
You could whip down to Ethiopia for some injera and lentils, walk back to India for samosas, run to Mexico for a churro, or head to Turkey for some coffee and baklava for dessert! The world is yours!!

Upon planning our move here to Austria we did as much research as possible but very little was curated by travellers – more locals with what they think would be helpful. This post is inspired by The City Lanes Post of a similar name. He came up with 9 tips that I would have in hand the immediate second I touched down in Tokyo. I hope we can do the same for Austria, Salzburg and South Tirol.
15 tips you should know before visiting Austria, Salzburg and the South Tirol in Spring and Summer
Salzburg Airport Bus to and from Salzburg
Grab a bus from the airport to take you into the city centre of Salzburg. Bus drivers speak english well but if youre staying a little out of town like we did go to the information desk first and they will tell you what stops to change buses.
Be warned that every trip on a bus (whether you go one or one hundred stops) is EU2.60 – so if you can walk from one stop to your destination rather than jump on an additional bus for a stop or two it will save you coin. Your other option is to buy a 1-2-3 day pass but they start at around EU27 per person per day and with a city as walkable as Salzburg youre just burning your money.
Mobile Phone Data Simcard
This is the first thing I seek our then hitting a new country/city. There's no portable WIFI hire in Austria so the best bet is to get a local simcard. You can't go into a 7/11 or tabacco store to get yourself a simcard. You need to go into a actual phone shop to buy your simcard.
The best I found was the 3 Internet Card. For EU29 (EU10 for the simcard) you get 6GB of data for EU12 plus EU8 for calls/texts which is really handy to call places to find out if they're open and book a table.
Uber has strong-armed it's way into everyone's life here offering a much more professional service than local taxis.
That's why you should load Uber on your phone before you arrive. The cars are brand new, the drivers have an iPad in every car with the route for them to follow and you also sometimes get water or lollies from some drivers. We tend to use Uber X which undercuts the price of local taxis for the same journey by 20%, so it's a no brainer to use them and since the cost does onto your credit card you can worry about the bill (cheap) when you get home.

Best view of the City
For the best view of Salzburg City, its more economical to go up to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) which you'll see perched on a cliff face from anywhere in town. For a straight up and down ticket (without entry to the museum) where you get access to the outside space for an unlimited time at the top it costs EU3.20. You also have the option of grabbing a drink in the bar – spectaular in the evening.
This is a better option than heading up to the castle as it's a similar situation as New York where if you go up for the view in the Empire State Bulding you don't get the iconic view of the building when youre in it.
Shut when they should be Open
If you live in a major city you may be used to a more regular set of opening hours – something we would have expected from quite a touristy town such as Salzburg. Be aware that some restaurants don't open on weekends (when most people are visitng on city breaks) or if they do they don't open until after 5pm. So it's best to check opening times before trekking across the city to find that little hole in the wall shut. While it is one of Austria's biggest cities it defintely not a 24/7 party town.
Also – don't expect chemists of anytihng useful to be open on the weekends – so if you ned drugs like cold and flu tablets – bring them, with you or get them before they shut up for the weekend. They all close on Midday on Saturday and won't open again until Monday.
This is a small city with many a tourist so it's best to use that sim card and book anywhere you feel you might like to eat. There were so many places we walked into thinking we'd be fine but have to book for the next night – or even a week later when we rolled back into town.
Street Eats
There's a great outdoor food market that's on most days that you can pick up speck, cheeses, beer and bratwurst. If youre on a budget these places are a lifesaver. But even in you arent then it's well worth stopping by and sampling the local produce as you pass through. And how could you not stop for a bratwurst injected with local cheese I ask you?!
The locals recognized the advantages of riding a bicycle in Mozart's city a long time ago. A fully-developed bicycle path network leads cyclists in and around Salzburg. Over 170 kilometers of attractive cycle paths with 900 signs, 23 scenic bicycle routes through the city, 5,500 parking spaces and self-service stations offering free tools, bike stands, lubricating oil and compressed air for emergencies make Salzburg Austria's number 1 cycle city. The bicycle network encompasses the entire city; contra-flow cycling is possible in 83 one-way streets.
What to listen to
If youre driving anywhere in the country I cannot recommend FM4 radio station to listen to. A great mix of music somewhere between BBC Radio 6 and Triple J – the station is in both Austrian and English, the music is phenomenal, there's genuinely interesting chat about what's happemning in the world, no ads and they take a lunchbreak which they then put on a mixtape for an hour.
If you have time – it's well worth doing a night or two in Innsbruck. If you get in early enough to Salzburg you can pretty much scale that city from top to bottom in 24 hours. Then Don't waste any time grabbing a hire car (we went back to get ours from the airport) and doing the 2 hour drive. We'll have a whole feature on that city in a later post.
TLC Waterfalls
On your way to Innsbruck you cannot not go and see the biggest waterfalls in Europe – Krimml waterfalls. The three stages of the hike, starting in the village of Krimml, take you to ever more spectacular views of the falls and the surrounding countryside. Bring your camera.
Keep a handy 2 hours for the waterfall walk to get up and back down again (4km up and 4km back). If youre not an experienced walker you may not want to try to make it up to the top.
Into The Alps & The Bregenzerwald Cheese Trail
If youre heading to Arlberg and it's surrounds with some time on your hands – steer well clear of Feldkirch and instead push into Lech and make your way onto the Cheese Trail. It isn't a street or a road in the usual sense, but rather a union of experts from various disciplines.
Throughout the whole year, the members organise events, invite people to tasting sessions, and initiate guests into the secrets of cheese production in the Vorarlberg region. Stations on the trail include the modern cheese cellar in Lingenau, where several thousand blocks of cheese are left to mature; the Käsehaus in Andelsbuch, open seven days a week and selling the entire range of delicacies from the Bregenzerwald; and the alpine dairy school in Egg where you can make your own cheese.
Arlberg Summer Card
Well worth investing in – especially if youre planning on doing a hike by yourself or with a guide. This card alklows you free reign of the tracks in Arlberg plus gives you access to every single working cable car going up and down the mountains whiule it is valid.
Lake swimming in Bad Gastein
After a hard days driving there's nothing more serene to see that on the way up the mountain you spot a lake with locals lying around on sun lounges. Get there after 4pm and it's half price entry EU3pp.
Fun in the water in the midst of a spectacular natural setting. Surrounded by the fascinating scenery of one of the most beautiful, diverse regions in the heart of the Austrian Alps. Pure summertime fun during swimming season in Gastein, from the beginning of June until September. The water is FRESH but take a book, douse yourself and lie back in the sunshine.
Top of the Gastein
Little did we realise – but Bad Gastein is actuall split into 3 sections of town – the bottom with the lake, the middle with the Old Town (looking very much like the Wes Anderson film Grand Budapest Hotel) with building literally just clining ot the rocks and the top section where it's all hot springs, cable cars to top of mountains and the best coffee in Austria. There's also a zip line that can be taken over the waterfall, but at EU19.90 it was a little expensive for a 20 second ride.
Felsentherme Hot Springs
Relax in a warm thermal pool and take it all in at Felsentherme. The spa offers eight different saunas and steam rooms varying in temperature, as well as massage services and a fitness center. Take your pick from the indoor hot spring pool, thermal grotto, 70 m (230 ft) slide, outdoor bubbling hot springs, or sports pool. Be mindful of time, as guests who are tardy leaving the spa area are charged extra. Once fully invigorated, stop by Blonde Bean for a very decent coffee.
EU23 for maximum 3 hours.
Gonna Get High
Setting out from Bad Gastein, the mountain lifts will take you either up the Graukogel or the Stubnerkogel. Awaiting you once you are up there is some special spine-tingling excitement amid the Gastein mountains.
The suspension bridge is 140 m long and just one meter wide, with this gently swaying structure leading from the terrace of the mountain restaurant to the transmitter station. This bridge actually breaks two records: It is the first pedestrian bridge at 2300 m above sea level and it is accessible year-round.
If you visit the restaurant at the mountain station of the new Stubnerkogel lift and then, just a few meters away, step out onto the new suspension bridge, you are bound to feel a few butterflies in your stomach. Yet more memorable mountain experiences are offered by the Glocknerblick viewing platform and Felsenweg path. Just be sure to wear sturdy shoes. If you want to head higher into the mountains, you should definitely come equipped with boots and hiking gear, then ride the Goldberg lift before exploring the hiking paths in the Sportgastein ski area. EU23pp return to top of mountain.

Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to clear demonstrators in Dhaka trying to prevent authorities from evicting former prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia from her house.
At least 50 people were injured and more than 20 demonstrators detained in the capital of Bangladesh.
Violence erupted in more than 20 other towns and dozens of people were injured in clashes with police.
Around 50 people were injured in Serajganj, 95 miles northwest of Dhaka, local television channels reported.
At least three people were killed and five, including a lawmaker of the ruling party, injured in the suicide bomb attack near Khustia, 190 miles west of the capital Dhaka.
The bomb was detonated at the residence of Afaz Uddin, an Awami League member of parliament.
Police would not say whether they thought the attack was related to the widespread violence over Mrs Khaleda's eviction from her home.
Police and witnesses said up to 4,000 protesters armed with sticks and stones set fire to vehicles and attacked officers near the headquarters of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party of former Prime Minister Khaleda.
Several thousand protesters skirmished with police close to Mrs Khaleda's residence in the garrison area, and the clashes intensified as security forces cordoned off the building shortly before a High Court deadline for her to vacate the house.
Mrs Khaleda later told a news conference she had been forcibly evicted from the house where she had lived for 40 years.
"They entered my bedroom and ransacked all the furniture. They even beat my personal staff," said a tearful Mrs Khaleda, speaking at her party office at Gulshan.
"I am not only humiliated but ashamed at the behaviour of the government. Now I seek justice from the people," she added.
Mrs Khaleda's residence in a sprawling compound was leased to her by the government in 1982, after her husband, former president General Ziaur Rahman, was killed in an abortive coup. They had lived in the house for several years.
The current government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina cancelled the lease last year, intending to put up multi-storey buildings for families of army officers killed in a mutiny at a paramilitary unit headquarters in Dhaka.
The BNP later called for a one-day strike.
"To protest the (eviction) order we have called for a countrywide dawn to dusk general strike on Sunday," BNP secretary-general Khondaker Delwar Hossain said.

High definition? More like "definitely high".
After the phenomenally awful A Witch's Tale, it's completely understandable that Hit Maker would make yet another stinker of an RPG. What is less understandable is how and why Last Rebellion ended up as an exclusive for an HD console like the PS3. Like seeing an eyelash mite under a powerful microscope, Last Rebellion splatters its travesties across your screen in full high-definition glory.
[image1]Even though its problems run much deeper than its visuals, the horribly outdated and underpowered graphics are a sign of Last Rebellion's larger issues. Top to bottom, the title appears to have been designed for a system with the processing power of a PSP or DS. Textures look like something sitting in a ditch by the road, and effects—like spell casting, lighting, and damage—remind me of different colored spit wads, only with a lot less individual character and flavor. If you had told me that this was the project of a pair of high school punks working nights to pay for a raging glue-sniffing addiction, I wouldn't have batted a mite-covered eyelash.
Within the game's first minutes, you will have learned the entire combat system. From the very beginning of Last Rebellion to its ending a paltry 15 hours later, nothing changes in terms of combat strategy. Each enemy has a handful of different attack points. You choose the order in which you would like to strike those points. Find the correct order, and you get a damage bonus. Use a follow-up spell, and you will trace out the order in which you attacked. Unusual though it may be at first, combat quickly becomes eye-droopingly repetitive, and a few of its other oddities only make matters worse. The system is unique, but so is gold mining with a toothpick.
You control two characters who—through a wacky celestial mishap straight out of some '80s movie—share a single body. This means they share all stats and resources, but it also means there's not really any party management involved. Hit Maker found a creative—or should I say "cheap"?—workaround for the standard party system of most Japanese RPGs. While it looks like you're controlling two different characters, you're really just controlling the same one twice.
[image2]All enemies are visible—so there are no random encounters—but levels are made of cramped quarters and enemies chase you down. There's no point in being able to see the enemies since there's no way to avoid them. Worse, enemies respawn almost instantly. As with the senseless character switching mechanic, the enemy layout and respawn rate are major nuisances. Your goals are also incredibly unclear, so you often end up wandering around a level refighting the same enemies over and over again in the exact same spots while you try futilely to figure out where you're supposed to go.
In addition, each defeated enemy needs to be "sealed" during combat, an act that only one of your two characters can perform. If you don't seal an enemy in time, it returns a few rounds later with full health. The sealing mechanic adds further tedium to an already tedious combat system.
Exploration and travel carry the extra annoyance of frequent load screens. Areas are very small, so you'll be moving between them often. Each time you'll have to sit through a bafflingly long load screen. On an older console, this might have made sense. But considering how small the areas are and how unimpressive the visual technology is, you'd think that even the ENIAC could handle it without a hitch. No such luck.
[image3]If you've gotten this far into the review and you're still curious about the game's story, you're probably a) not paying attention, or b) really not paying attention, or c) stubbornly convinced that because it's an "RPG" made in Japan it must at least have a storyline worthwhile to fans of the genre. [Answer key: a) yes, b) yes, and c) god no]. As interesting a premise as it sounds to have a male character share a body with a woman, it comes off as nothing more than a lazy way to avoid rendering two character models simultaneously. The rest of the skeletal story all happens in the game's earliest moments. Everything that happens after that is just meaningless banter between the two souls floating around inside your body.
Last Rebellion tries your patience at every turn. The combat is repetitive, the story is obtuse, and the graphics are primitive. It's as if Hit Maker aimed for total mediocrity on the PSP and hit an abyss of obsolescence on the PS3 instead. Some of its concepts might be unusual, but that alone doesn't mean that any single one of them is good. Ordinarily I'm a major proponent of originality in game design, but Last Rebellion's broad misfires are enough to send me running for the predictable comfort of Generic Sequel to Series That Just Won't Die 8: The Return of the Same Old Junk.

A Day Late and a Dollar Short
February 28th, 2004
With one release taking up the lion's share of the media's attention, the few limited released will probably slip through the cracks.
Alila - Reviews
Based on the novel Returning lost loves by Yehoshua Knaz, Alila tells the story of the entangled lives of over a dozen residence in a rundown Tel Aviv apartment building. It opened in New York at the Cinema Village yesterday but will play in a couple of film festivals in the near future.
Goodbye Lenin - Reviews
This film won a huge number of awards in it's native Germany and was one of the biggest hits last year. And while it failed to win a Golden Globe, and was ignored by the Oscars, it should earn some mainstream success here. It was also the only new limited release with enough reviews on Rotten Tomatoes to qualify for a rating on the Tomatometer.
Greendale - Reviews
This is one of the boldest new movies to come out in a long time. The film tells the story of a family living in a small town. What makes it so unusual is all the dialogue comes from Neil Young's concept album of the same name. The actual songs are used and the actors are just lip-synching them. You can find out more about the movie on his official site.
What Boys Like - Reviews
A lame attempt at a sexy, romantic comedy is being trashed by critics, all four that bothered to review it. A mostly unknown cast with a few TV personalities in the mix.

Today the Bank of Canada confirmed a technical recession of negative growth through the first half of 2015 and reluctantly lowered its growth forecasts for the whole year to just over 1%. With their policy rate already at .5%, there is little monetary meat left to entice animal spirits. In terms of growth, rate cuts here are symbolic at best At worst, they may spur some more high risk lending into consumer and corporate sectors (especially energy) which are already way past prudent levels. See: BOC lowers overnight rate target to 1/2 percent.
The Bank's estimate of growth in Canada in 2015 has been marked down considerably from its April projection. The downward revision reflects further downgrades of business investment plans in the energy sector, as well as weaker than expected exports of non energy commodities and noncommodities. Real GDP is now projected to have contracted modestly in the first half of the year, resulting in higher excess capacity and additional downward pressure on inflation.
So much for a manufacturing rebound being enough to offset the commodities' meltdown. Oil and gas investment is expected to fall 40% in 2015 alone. So much for a quick rebound in oil prices. Such expectations are likely to be as unrealistic for the second half of the year as they were for the first.
With the world's stock and bond markets now near universally contorted and broken beyond belief with relentless intervention and HFT gaming everywhere, currency exchange rates –the world's largest markets–are the last, best indicators resembling anything close to free market forces.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, and the US dollar is soaring again against the benchmark of world currencies. The loonie on the other hand, continues its well-earned comeuppance, this morning breaking marginally below the 2009 low. The .67 to .72 range (green band below) remains a probable retest as all the gains made in the secular boom (2001-2011) are evaporated once more and Canada searches for new ways to diversify itself beyond rocks, trees and credit-crazy consumers spending money they don't have, and will now be working years to repay. Necessity is the mother of invention.
