Lord, I am about to crawl out of my skin. I think it's the sugar. We had a get together for my brother's birthday at our place this weekend and my wife and sister-in-law make baked goods that were gluten free so I could have some. And have some I did. I've been doing really well at following the food plan my nutritionist gave me and I am starting to see some progress in both my weight AND my ability to stick to the plan. SO of course I figured that I could deviate just this once and it wouldn't really matter. I didn't overeat. My calorie count was pretty close to right on, but I ate more sweets that I have eaten in a LONG time. Christ all mighty… I spent the better part of a decade shooting drugs and now a slice of Key Lime Pie makes me feel like I'm gonna come apart at the seams. What's up with that? I guess I have reached a place where I can no longer deviate with any impunity. Good to know…
There are a lot of challenges on my plate right now, so I have to be very careful. As the stress comes so does the uncontrollable urge to eat. I am adding some extra quiet time and meditation to my days and I am trying to let my support system help me wherever possible. Both of those are a challenge sometimes, but I know from experience that I won't make it through any other way.
Oh yeah, and no more sugar!
I arrived at the same crossroads a couple of months ago. I realized that sugar doesn't make me feel good anymore; i don't enjoy the sugary things I have been attached to for so long. I've overindulged and had fixations on goods to a point of wearing them out. I only feel guilt, shame, anger and intense craving when I eat sugary foods. Everytime I crave I have to just remind myself how these foods actually make me feel in reality versus the fantasy.

The Plot
(Critical Survey of Science Fiction and Fantasy)
The Coming Race describes a young American's adventures among the Vril-ya, an underground civilization far more advanced than his own. Sometimes the "utopian" Vril-ya society is the object of satire; at other times, the narrator himself is the object. Published anonymously, the book was written at the end of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's career, five years after he became a peer. His political outlook by that time was decidedly conservative.
The narrator, who never gives his real name, descends a chasm in a mine shaft to the Vril-ya world. "The engineer," his only companion, falls to his death, and his body is carried off by a giant reptile, leaving the narrator alone and with no way to return to the surface. Subsequently, he encounters Aph-Lin, who will be his host among the Vril-ya. Using the powerful force called vril, which has a telepathic component, Aph-Lin and his daughter, Zee, teach the narrator their language and learn his. They refer to him as Tish, the term for the frogs kept by children as pets. This is his position among the Vril-ya, against whose power he is helpless.
The narrator relates such aspects of Vril-ya culture as the use of vril, the "fluid" that allows the Vril-ya to fly, to control automata that perform manual labor, to heal, and to destroy. Vril literally denotes civilization. Underground societies that do not possess vril power are considered barbaric, and the narrator, who lacks the evolved nerve...

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF today accomplished a bullish spring of the May 6, 2010 mini crash swing low during the last 2 hours of trading today. A bullish spring is when volume is not sufficiently heavy enough relative to previous swings and closing price is above those previous swings.
It was a close call today because the way the market was set up (including macd histogram, RSI and some other indicators) it really needed to get a good reversal going again otherwise it would have put the market at risk of a very severe plunge below May 6, 2010 support. It just goes to show how the market is capable of putting everything on the line with only a few hours left to finally give the reversal signal. The action today had the flavor of capitulation and leaves me much more confident that a true reversal is at hand. How high the bounce is remains an open question however.
Also helping the bounce case is the US Dollar Index. It looks like it double topped today on the daily chart and should get some type of move back down to its own 50 day moving average. Perhaps that will support equities for the next 5 to 10 trading days.
I am going to try not to make the mistake of shorting this bounce too early. I want to give the market plenty of room to do its thing.
The SPY chart shows that we have a huge reversal candle that engulfed the previous days bearish candle body. On the actual sp500 index chart I see a long tail reversal hammer which is another powerful reversal signal.
You can clearly see the bullish divergence that exists between price and MACD histogram (yellow bars). The current bullish divergence looks similar to the one that existed in the January 2010 time frame.
The volume comparison between the previous two significant price swings shows the the market today did not have enough force or energy to break through to the downside. The volume was 20 to 38% less on today's price swing and that is a valid bullish spring reversal signal.
So combined with the macd histogram, the reversal candles, and the US Dollar Index topping BestOnlineTrades officially gives this reversal an official stamp of approval.
The next challenge is identifying the next major topping point for a massive re shorting campaign, because I believe after this bounce (1 to 3 weeks ?) the market will have a decline even more ferocious than what we just experienced.
P.S. By the way I find it really interesting that we are hearing some war talk between North and South Korea. If you remember several posts ago I was talking about how on the previous Jupiter Saturn Opposition in July 1990 Iraq Invaded Kuwait and we went to war and that the May 23, 2010 opposition could be a very significant date. And just two days ago, on May 23, 20 years later we have another Jupiter Saturn Opposition and it seems as though the war drums are beating again between North and South Korea.
I am just astounded at how these astro aspects can nail world events like this. It is extremely fascinating to me but I admit I have no understanding of how or why it actually works.
Whether or not the situation over there develops into full scale war remains to be seen. But I can tell you with ZERO DOUBT that if the situation over there turns into full scale war and the USA is drawn into it as an ally (and perhaps China, Japan as well?) then you will see world markets drop like a rock, perhaps almost literally.
We have been over 10 years into our bear market so far (started year 2000) and usually you tend to see really negative type geopolitical events happen in the later stages of bear markets.
At the start of the 1910s, the decade would begin with the Panic of 1910–1911 stifling economic growth for a lengthy period of time. History would later take its course on July 30, 1914; as the average stood at a level of 71.42 when a decision was made to close down the New York Stock Exchange, and suspend trading for a span of 4 1/2 months. Some historians believe the exchange closed because of a concern that markets would plunge as a result of panic over the onset of World War I. An alternative explanation is that the Secretary of the Treasury,William Gibbs McAdoo, closed the exchange because he wanted to conserve the U.S. gold stock in order to launch the Federal Reserve System later that year, with enough gold to keep the U.S. at par with the gold standard. When the markets reopened on December 12, 1914, the index closed at 54, a drop of 24.39%
War is the last thing this market needs. The market is already fragile. Technically it is set up for a nice bounce now, but a bounce into June would set it up for a very ominous plunge in the July August time frames which are extremely astro negative.
Referring to the quote above, take a look at the DJIA for the time frame July 30, 1914:
Note the almost unbelievable fact that the RSI went from a reading of 50 to an all time record low reading of 5 when the exchange was re opened 4 months later !
Note also that the market literally went into a vertical drop so persistent that it defies all logic and left no chance for dip buyers or re shorting opportunities. Also interesting is that this decline occurred in JULY (not the typical month we would expect such a plunge, ie. usually it is September or October). It says to me that the market can see a 20 to 30% plunge in JULY. And guess what? July 2010 is only a month away.
All I can do is speculate here. I don't know whether we can get another such persistent move as occurred in the 1914 time frame. But my main point here is that we saw an RSI reading of 5 there. And it is an important reflection of previous market history and that it can happen.
If our current market moved to an RSI reading of 25 or 20 I am sure that many technicians would be looking to buy (including myself) based on it being extremely oversold. But the market can still move hundreds of points lower even with an RSI 25 or 20 reading. I am going to go on record and say that I believe at some point between now and September 2010 we will again see an RSI reading between 10 to 15 on the Sp500.
World War III, a European Debt Meltdown and some negative astro aspects may change the rules of the game for certain periods of time in this upcoming bear trend. Just something to think about.
Be open to possibilities that may previously have seemed unthinkable. Markets tend to act within normal ranges for long periods of time, but in vicious long term bear markets the rules can change for certain periods of time. I think part of the reason for that is a simple drying up of liquidity and fewer and fewer participants in the market which creates huge air pockets in the market.
Lets say we do break out into a serious war as a result of a NK SK situation along with allies of SK. And then in August after withdrawing 80 to 90% of troops from Iraq, things start to heat up there again as well. And then maybe throw in some Israel Iran tension or conflict.
That is going to be a lot for the market to digest. And it makes you wonder if we would actually close the exchange here again. I doubt that but we have already seen all this talk about stopping trading after 10% moves on individual stocks and we already have the circuit breaker rules for the indices. So who knows if they would be crazy enough to close the exchange again.
Ok, enough bearish talk.
For now the most important challenge is figuring out where this coming bounce will leads to… and for what period of time it will maintain the bounce!

Throughout New England, barns attached to houses are fairly common. Why were the buildings connected? What did farmers or families gain by doing this? The phenomenon was captured in the words of a children's song, "Big house, little house, back house, barn," (Thomas C.

Home-Cooked Pet Meals: It's Easy, Healthy, & Fun
Posted March 31, 2017
A well-balanced diet is key to keeping our pets healthy. A poor diet could result in a compromised immune system and many health complications for our beloved animals. So, what does a healthy, nutritious diet for a dog or cat look like?
With all the options out there from home-cooked to raw, dried or canned food, it can get a little overwhelming. The truth is, there is no single way of feeding our pets. But, if pet parents need a guiding rule for their pet's diet, it would be this:
Any pet diet should be a balance of lean proteins, fats, carbohydrates, organic vegetables, herbage, water and a mix of natural minerals and vitamins.
At NHV, we love home-cooked pet meals made with healthy, organic ingredients. Carefully prepared, home-cooked meals that take into consideration the dietary needs of your pet's age, breed, and health conditions, are free of the toxic ingredients (additives, colors, modified substances, preservatives) that are found in some commercial brands of pet food. These toxic ingredients can build up in the body and can cause kidney or liver issues down the road, or cause other health conditions like heart disease or skin problems. Feeding home-cooked is fun, easy, and a great way to show your pet just how much they mean to you.
Here's a recipe that we love. It's great for dogs and cats. This specific recipe is more of a "topper" – meaning we use it over their regular high quality canned food to give them extra nutrients. In fact, we just made this yummy home-cooked meal for our new puppy Chaya and her cat brother and sister.
RECIPE: Chicken Liver and Blueberry Delight
This home-cooked pet recipe lasts about 4 days for our puppy and 2 cats.
Celery (1/2 stalk)
blueberries (1 cup)
carrot (1)
pear (1)
apple (1)
pealed acorn squash (1/2)
beans (handfull)
Chicken Liver (1.5 lb)
A little tip: Organ meat is a fantastic source of protein, iron, folic acid, and B vitamins for your pet. Whenever possible, use organ meat as your protein source.
Step 1: Roughly chop up all fruits and vegetables.
Step 2: Add all roughly chopped vegetables and fruit (not blueberries) into blender and pulse until everything is finely chopped, but not mushy.
Step 3: Put these finely chopped ingredients and the liver in a large pot with enough water to cover.
Cook on medium heat until water is reduced and mixture is dry (should take about 45min). Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil (for fat).
Once cooked, let it cool and then store this healthy mix in your fridge. Reuse whenever needed. When feeding add NHV's Daily Supplement Kit for pets. Adding these natural herbal remedies will help increase the amount of overall nutrition your pet receives. These herbal remedies help promote a healthy skin and coat, help reduce inflammation, scavenge free radicals, help fill nutritional voids and stimulate digestion.

I'm a self confessed addict of anything vitamin E, I can imagine using this to pat on my cheekbones after my foundation for a playful healthy glow, great post :)ReplyDelete
Lea x
Seems like a great product and the way you describe it makes me think it would work perfectly as a primer for foundation! I'll have to give this a try when I get the chance. xReplyDelete
I used to use this cream, its very nice and smells gorgeous too. I bought it as a set and on promotion around christmas time so it was cheaper then.ReplyDelete
I've really wanted to try this out since I saw a youtuber mention it a few times. I've been going without foundation more regularly but it would be nice to have something that would just improve my complexion a tiny bit so I don't look like i just rolled out of bed!ReplyDelete

I'm not sure I would have gotten to reading Sarah Vowell's newest book, Lafayette in the Somewhat United States, if I haven't started listening to the soundtrack for Hamilton just a couple weeks ago.
For those who don't know, Hamilton is a Broadway musical about the life and times of Alexander Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It sounds rather crazy, I know, but it's totally excellent (and you can listen to it several places online). The Marquis de Lafayette, a teenage Frenchman who became a well-loved general in the Revolutionary War, is introduced in the second song of the show with this verse:
Oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette!
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set!
I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir!"
Tell the King "Casse toi!" Who's the best?
C'est moi!
That just struck me as so hilarious that I decided I wanted to learn more about this guy immediately. Although Lafayette in the Somewhat United States is about Lafayette, it's really a broader look at how the ideals of the American Revolution mesh (or, in lots of cases, are in contrast) with the reality of fighting in the Revolutionary War. It's more ambitious than a simple biography, but I think that makes it an even better match with Hamilton's critique and revisiting of the Founding Fathers.
There are two things I love about Sarah Vowell as a writer and historian. First, she's clearly fond of our Founding Fathers and other major historical figures, but she's not afraid to point out where they messed up or areas in their lives where they demonstrated hypocrisy. It's disingenuous to talk about, say, Thomas Jefferson, the writer of one of our favorite phrases — "all men are created equal" — and not also acknowledge that he owned slaves. The founders of our country had big ideas, but ultimately they were people and can be talked about as such without diminishing their legacy.
Vowell is so great at this. In the book, she calls the colonists "self-respecting, financially strapped terrorists" and "anti-monarchist punks," among other affectionate names. I think that's so funny! In another section, she makes this really apt observation about the problems at Valley Forge:
I would like to see the calamity at Valley Forge as just the growing pains of a new nation. It has been a long time since the men and women serving in the armed forces of the world's only superpower went naked because some crooked townies in upstate New York filched their uniforms. But there's still this combination of government ineptitude, shortsightedness, stinginess, corruption and neglect that affected the Continentals before, during and after Valley Forge that twenty-first century Americans are not entirely unfamiliar with.
That also leads me into the second thing I love about Vowell: she's wonderful at showing the way history can be a conversation between the past and present. Most of her books pull together historical events with our present day memory of those events through things like museums, monuments and historical reenactments. It's a really interesting way to both learn about particular moments and look at how our popular conception of them has changed.
Lafayette is actually a great example of this — he helped forge an alliance with France that enabled the United States to win the Revolutionary War. But not so long ago, the United States Congress renamed "French Fries" to "Freedom Fries" and, at least as I recall my history classes, works to overlook that significant contribution. Vowell spends a bit of time on this in the book, which I thought was really interesting.
These features of Vowell's writing are also some of what I love best about Hamilton. Lin-Manuel Miranda clearly admires and respects Alexander Hamilton and many of the other Founding Fathers — why else make an entire musical about the American Revolution? But the musical points out their mistakes and flaws, often in really pointed ways. And the specific casting of performers of color in the roles of our white Founding Fathers makes really fascinating echoes between America of the past and America of the present. It's remarkable.
So there you have it, I have Hamilton to thanks for picking up Lafayette in the Somewhat United States, and the book to thank for helping me articulate some of what I love about the musical. Get your hands on both, they're great.

hi beauties. I love you guys so much.
today I have a really important chat for y'all. it's not only timely for Palm Sunday, but it's a valuable & precious mantra for a lifetime. yeah. it's that piercing.
when Jesus entered the city, the people waved palm branches & blessed Him, and later on they received Jesus Himself on the cross. today we open our palms to bless Him still & receive His goodness and blessing.
there's a term we use in yoga: "palms up to receive."
as we sit in meditation, or pause, steady in our breath, in a pose full of difficulty, we often remind ourselves or our students to simply turn our hands so our palms face up- a posture of surrender, openness, and release.
it's a softness, a gentleness, a simplicity in the midst of spiritual tension. it's an offering in the midst of emotional scarcity. it's a song of sweetness in the screaming bitter season of the soul.
this is our Palm Sunday everyday.
this is our silent shout of hosanna, defiant in the chaos of a world shrieking with fear & demanding our worry and panic.
this is the sweet posturing of our thankful heart's center back to the kindness & coming of the Presence of Jesus.
the spirit of Palm Sunday is one to carry always. because it's all about the welcoming of Jesus. and we must welcome Him always, in all ways into our hidden spaces. if we desire to walk His Way, we must be breathing, living, walking, in a constant state of welcoming. a constant state of palms open.
to receive.
to bless.
to release.
to break open of ourselves and pour out our hearts as an offering of "yes." to the Presence of Divine Love. this is the heart of Holy Week. this is the posture of Palm Sunday.
so… breathe gentle, breathe deep.
palms open.
release. offer. bless. receive.
may the Presence of Jesus pour life into the chasm of your aching soul. may your welcoming of His beauty be your saving grace.
be blessed, love.

Across the globe sales of mobile phones rose 10% during the first quarter of 2007, according to research firm IDC. The 256.4 million units represent an increase over the year-ago quarter, but it's somewhat cooler than the hot sales from the fourth quarter of 2006, which were 13.8% higher. Will sales hit 1 billion again this year?That's hard to say, but chances aren't looking so good. The slowdown in sales reverses the trends seen throughout 2006, where sales rose significantly each quarter. Even though the worldwide penetration of cell phones is right around 2.8 billion, that represents only 42% of the world's inhabitants. With cell phone use reaching saturation points in most of the world's developed countries, developing nations and regions are the best hope for continued growth.
Ramon Llamas, research analyst with IDC's Mobile Devices Technology and Trends group, said, "Since basic voice connectivity and affordability are often the key components of demand in emerging markets, device vendors, appropriately, seek to supply low-cost handsets in these markets, which, in turn, has the unfortunate effect of dragging down device ASPs. To stem the decline in ASPs, device vendors are taking steps to rationalize platforms, improve supply chain logistics, and relocate production to low-cost regions."
The top five handset vendors were unchanged in the first quarter, with Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and LG maintaining their market positions. Nokia bested the others by a wide marging, with 91.1 million units shipped. Motorola's 45.4 million was less than half as much.

A parcel of studies looking at the oceans and melting Arctic ice leave no room for doubt that it is getting warmer, people are to blame, and the weather is going to suffer, climate experts said on Thursday.
New computer models that look at ocean temperatures instead of the atmosphere show the clearest signal yet that global warming is well underway, said Tim Barnett of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
His team used millions of temperature readings made by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to calculate steady ocean warming.
"The debate over whether or not there is a global warming signal is now over, at least for rational people," he said.
Other researchers found clear effects on climate and animals.
Ruth Curry of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found that melting ice was changing the water cycle, which in turn affects ocean currents and, ultimately, climate.
"As the Earth warms, its water cycle is changing, being pushed out of kilter," she said. "Ice is in decline everywhere on the planet."
Greenland's ice cap, which contains enough ice to raise sea levels globally by 23 feet, is starting to melt and could collapse suddenly, Curry said. Already freshwater is percolating down, lubricating the base and making it more unstable.
Sharon Smith of the University of Miami found melting Arctic ice was taking with it algae that formed an important base of the food supply for a range of animals.
And the disappearing ice shelves meant big animals such as walruses, polar bears and seals were losing their homes.
In other news Americans remain oblivious.

I've recently started using the popular social bookmarking site del.icio.us at work. I work in the research office of a UK university and part of my job is to find and disseminate research funding opportunities to academics.
The usual way to do this, of course, is via email and on the department's intranet site. On a typical day, I'll trawl through a range of online funding databases, like ResearchResearch, Community of Science, Welcomeurope, CORDIS, UK Research Office, etc. and pass on the relevant information to different groups of staff.
However, since what I'm doing in my day-to-day tasks is essentially finding, sorting, and distributing links, it occurred to me that using del.icio.us would be a great alternative way to store and share funding opportunities with colleagues. My intention is to create a database of opportunities which are relevant to my institution, and which staff can peruse at their leisure. You can find the beginnings of that database here:
Researchoffice's del.icio.us bookmarks
The best case scenario would be if a good number of research-active staff join del.icio.us themselves (or use their existing accounts) and create a network to share research funding links with one another. However, I'm willing to settle for a more likely option: a minority of tech-savvy staff start using the service as another information source when seeking funding. (I'm not expecting miracles here; I always keep in mind the one per cent rule.)
Here are 5 more reasons why I decided to use del.icio.us at work:
- It's popular: Del.icio.us is the most popular social bookmarking website around, so there's a higher chance that other staff will have at least heard of it, if not already use it themselves.
- It's simple: Unlike many other social bookmarking sites, such as clipmarks, furl, and blinklist, del.icio.us has a simple look and feel; some might say too simple, but at least it hasn't jumped on the web 2.0 reflective text/beta version bandwagon! It works nicely with most browsers, and has a pared-down vibe, rather like Google in the early days.
- It's easy to use: From the readable URL scheme to the easily sortable and customizable tags, it doesn't take more than 10 minutes to understand and start to use the site. This is crucial when promoting the site to those who might never have experienced social bookmarking before.
- RSS: As far as RSS feeds go, del.icio.us is very powerful. You can pull a feed from any tag you like, or from combined tags, or from a particular user, or from their inbox. You can even pull a feed for a specific type of media or filetype, as this blog post shows. I haven't used this feature yet at work, but the ability to export the latest links as RSS will no doubt come in handy. For example, if this takes off I'll probably end up putting an RSS feed on our office's intranet page.
- It's quick: This is perhaps the biggest boon of all. It takes between 60-90 seconds of my working day to post a link to del.icio.us. All I do is copy a relevant line from the page for the description, then click a few tags — perhaps adding one or two new ones if necessary. All done! The browser buttons are essential timesavers here, allowing speedy one-click saves.
Of course, it's really important to set up a coherent tagging system before you start: I generally use at least one tag to describe the source website, several for the actual content, and various others to denote whether it's a funding opportunity with or without a deadline, etc. Once that's in place, it's a breeze!
If you're not convinced check this ReadWriteWeb article which compares the features of a number of social bookmarking websites, and choose the one which is right for you.

Cass County Joint Water Resource District Chairman Mark Brodshaug Uses Seat to Mislead
The Fargo Diversion Authority is fast running out of any credible mouthpiece to push their agenda.
It's no secret…, the Fargo Diversion Authority supporters will do anything, say anything and control any study data to promote the dam and diversion agenda.
The lure of being a Fargo team player is intoxicating and self-destructive.
In yet another attempt to do Fargo Dam and FM Diversion damage control, Fargo sacrifices another pawn upon the blade of credibility.
|Letter: Selective criticism misleads
By: Mark Brodshaug
I serve as chairman of the Cass County Joint Water Resource District, and I serve on several other boards, including the Red River Joint Water Resource District, the Richland-Cass Joint Water Resource District, and the Red River Basins Commission, all of which are involved in developing flood storage in the Red River Valley.
Posturing ones "qualifications" by providing a resume' of the "access" they hold to boards where decisions are made underscores how development agendas can potentially be carried out, against public opposition.
But!…, focus on the "all of which" sales-pitch that will dismally fail as you read Mark Brodshaug's repeated attempts to place all area's outside Fargo as "secondary".
|Mark Brodshaug
In response to an Oct. 28 opinion by Trana Rogne that contains misleading information about our ongoing efforts to locate suitable flood storage sites in the valley:Water resource districts in North Dakota and watershed districts in Minnesota have worked to develop flood storage in the valley since the 1970s. In 2011, the districts commenced a plan to use newly available flood modeling to identify potential flood storage sites in North Dakota and Minnesota that would provide local benefits in the tributaries of the Red River. The tributary site identification and storage plans have been completed in the southern valley and local WRDs and Watershed Districts are beginning to discuss the feasibility of the sites identified.
Characterizing "local benefits in the tributaries" as the only benefit is false summary. If a benefit is realized in a tributary or mainstem waterway, that benefit is realized downstream as well.
After-all, it has been the USACE, Fargo Diversion Authority and Cass County officials who have vehemently argued that the location and sizing of the dam and diversion are to mitigate alleged impacts of "inches" all the way to Canada… The Maple River Dam provides a benefit to Fargo. White Rock Dam provides a benefit to Fargo. The Ottertail Dam provides a benefit to Fargo as well as the Bald Hill Dam north of Valley city. If not, then every dam or flood control structure that has been built, has been done so under false pretenses.
|Mark Brodshaug
As part of its Long Term Flood Solutions plan, the Red River Basin Commission established a goal to reduce flood flows on the Red River by 20 percent through the use of flood storage. Keep in mind that a 20 percent flow reduction at Fargo equates to less than 2 feet of river stage reduction; so even if we can implement enough storage to meet the 20 percent flow reduction goal, Fargo will still experience a flood.
Fargo will face flood threats "with" or "without" a $2 billion+ Fargo Dam and FM Diversion. Facts are facts, the proposed dam and diversion does nothing to protect Fargo from heavy summer rainfall flash flooding that can come without warning. Fargo is located in a floodplain and irresponsible development practices over several decades have created a dilemma for the city that is shamelessly playing the victim card.
In August 2004 the FMUS (Fargo Moorhead Upstream Feasibility Study) was initiated and Phase 1a was disseminated in 2005.
The most interesting points determined within the study indicate that approximately 200,000-400,000 acre feet of storage could reduce the peak 1% percent (100 year) chance stages in Fargo by up to 1.6 feet (19.2 inches).
View Report:
USACE Approved Version of the FMUS – 6 Pages (download pdf)
Original FMUS Phase 1 – 16 pages (download pdf)
Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker testified in a hearing before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations of the United States Senate on May 27, 2009 in Fargo, ND:
It seems odd that the Chairman of the Cass County Joint Water Resource District would downplay a 19.2 inch benefit which would have made the 2009 40.82′ flood crest a significantly lower 39.22′ crest. Couple the upstream staging and storage found in the FMUS with permanent internal flood protection and Fargo could weather a much larger flood than the 2009 100 year flood event without the proposed Fargo Dam and FM Diversion.
Ironically, the entire flood protection that Fargo needs could be self funded and commenced without federal funding or excessive cost drivers that are characteristic of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects.
|Mark Brodshaug
The RRBC has always understood that flood storage would be constructed for local benefits first, and the 20 percent target for the main stem would be a secondary benefit. In order to determine the practicality of the secondary 20 percent goal, the RRBC initiated a modeling study, funded by the FM Area Diversion Authority, which combined the local flood storage sites identified by the WRDs and Watershed Districts in the various sub-watersheds. The purpose of combining the sites was to calculate the resultant secondary flow reduction seen on the Red main stem.
What a completely disingenuous statement by Mark Brodshaug.
The #1 listed barrier that the RRBC identifies and lists on their website is:
|1. Solutions to local problems have unintended consequences in other areas of the basin; therefore, a basin-wide approach is needed.
Fargo, the Diversion Authority and obviously, the self-aggrandized Chairman of the Cass County Joint Water Resource District has everything backwards. Concentrically focused on what is good for Fargo at the expense of all entities outside of Fargo.
|Mark Brodshaug
The RRBC is coordinating a final quality control review of their main stem flow reduction study with modeling experts from the Army Corps of Engineers, Minnesota DNR and the North Dakota Water Commission. Once the modeling has been reviewed and accepted, local project sponsors will utilize the modeling to determine and illustrate how their flood storage project has a secondary benefit to the F-M area.
Interesting how the taxpayer funded data, that is currently being with-held despite TWO FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests, has to be "aligned" to place Fargo before the good of the entire Red River Valley. Fact is, the Diversion Authority knows how damaging the study benefits are to the Fargo Dam and FM Diversion and they are willfully trying to manipulate and sweep the data under a proverbial rug.
|Mark Brodshaug
If a local project can show a benefit to the F-M area, the Diversion Authority has pledged to fund a share of the local costs from its $25 million budget for flood storage. The $25 million offered for flood storage is a great opportunity for WRDs looking to build sites they have identified. The funding also shows the Diversion Authority is serious about regional flood reduction projects that also benefit the F-M area.
Hmmm…, the FMUS study already did that, however, the Fargo Diversion Authority terminated the FMUS agreement "conveniently" prior to heading to Bismarck to reach into ND State Legislature pockets for more funding.
In addition, offering "$25 million" with an unrealistic expectation of meeting inflated protection levels set as the criteria to allow encroachment into the last natural flood plain south of Fargo is an insincere goal.
I wonder how our state legislators like being played as Fargo's lapdogs for funding…
|Mark Brodshaug
I discourage people from cherry-picking pieces of data from these studies. Flood flow reductions that result from any potential flood storage projects in the Red River tributaries need to be weighed with the substantial construction costs, extensive farmland requirements, permitting hurdles, years of implementation and local opposition challenges.
What Mark Brodshaug is really discouraging is any form of holding decisions makers accountable for making bad decisions or ensuring that "development interests" can move forward irresponsibly into the last natural flood plains adjacent to Fargo on the dime of taxpayers.
|Mark Brodshaug
Flood storage constructed by local sponsors, as proposed in the studies, will supplement primary flood protection provided by projects like the FM Area Diversion or the Grand Forks Flood Protection Project; storage will not eliminate the need for these crucial projects.
Once again, another shameless "Fargo First" before the good of North Dakota with a cowardly name dropping of Grand Forks in an attempt to deflect focus from the Red River Valley's most irresponsible development entity.
|Mark Brodshaug
I encourage people interested in flood control in the Red River Valley to attend presentations on these studies and plans, and to work with local watershed officials to understand the implications to their communities.
On this we can agree! Taxpayers have not only a right, but a duty to reign in irresponsible projects, such as the Fargo Dam and FM Diversion or suffer the long term costs as a result of their apathy.

Please respect our gravel roads
Please respect our gravel roads
Each year Royalton Township & Pine County invest tens of thousands of our property tax dollars to stabilize our gravel roads in Royalton Township and Pine County. These costs include applying graveling, grading, and the county applies magnesium or calcium chloride to help control dust and keep our gravel roads from eroding into the ditches.
You can help by reducing your speed and by encouraging your family, friends, and your weekend visitors to please slow down. Please respect our gravel roads. Speeding causes the "washboard effect" on gravel roads and ATV operators who create "doughnut" circles on the roads, results in excessive wear and tear and add higher costs to re-grade these roads.
Please help us keep the gravel on the roads, not in the fields, the ditches, front yards or picnic tables, please slow down.
Thank you,

I saw the idea of wrapping meat in phyllo and just ran with it and came up with an amazing phyllo wrap that is full of exotic flavour.
- Yield
- 2 people 6 wraps
- 6 phyllo sheets
- 3/4 of lb of ground turkey
- 1/4 cup sweet and sour sauce
- 1/4 cup garlic cream cheese
- 6 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 Spanish onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp of curry
- 1/2 tsp of cumin
- 1/4 tsp of cayenne
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste
- brush
- Remove phyllo from fridge at least 1 hour before using. Preheat oven to 350F. In a large skillet, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and set to medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they start to soften. Add the ground turkey and garlic and cook until the meat has browned. Add the cumin, curry, cayenne, salt, pepper and turn heat to low. Now add the sweet and sour sauce and cream cheese and mix thoroughly. Turn heat off and let cool before handling Lay out the 6 phyllo sheets on a flat surface and keep covered with a damp cloth. Remove one sheet at a time to a cutting board. Brush a thin line of oil down one side and fold over the sheet lengthwise. Now brush the top with a thin layer of oil. Take 2 large heaping tbsp of the meat mixture and place in the mixture of the phyllo dough at one end leaving about an inch on the bottom and each side to fold. Fold from the bottom over top the mixture. Then fold in each side one at a time and roll the wrap to the end. Place the roll in a greased casserole dish and brush with olive oil. Repeat these steps until all are wrapped. Put it in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the dough has browned a bit and looks flaky. Let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Brooke found me through the interview I did for Babytalk magazine while back. I thought that was so fun that she took the time to look me up! They are the cutest family. Sofia is a year and a half and is darling. She loves her little duck and yogurt melts. And she's going to be a big sister come this October! Doesn't Brooke look great?
I hope these pictures will help them remember their visit to The OC fondly!


text: difficult child wants to get a cell phone and has saved enough money to get a no contract phone. If she keeps her babysitting job (after school every other week) she should have enough money to do it. Not sure if she will be needed to babysit during the summer. She can get a plan for under $50 a month of unlimited talk, text and web. OK... now we need to discuss ground rules she can live with. I am sure she will think "since I am paying for it, I can do what I want." difficult child will be 15 in a couple of months. She is keeping her grades at an acceptable level. Things are a little better, but she still has an explosive temper when she doesn't get her way. Like tonight... she asks if friend can spend the night and do a movie marathon. I suggest friend coming over and staying until 11pm and then she goes home. In the past, overnights have not gone well. She got a little hostile... "That is not how I planned it... we would stay in the upstairs bedroom and watch old Disney movies til 10 or 11, then come downstairs and watch a bunch of 'Switched at Birth' episodes. When we didn't give in to the overnight... she asks, well what if she stays here til 11 and then we go to her house to spend the night. So I let her talk to friend, and friend asks her mom and the answer was no to everything. Getting the no from her friend didn't upset her... but us putting limits on things does. So, back to phone... my main rule that I can think of is... we get control of the phone at 10pm on school nights, and she gets it back once she is ready for school the next morning. I guess I can control WHEN she texts.. but I know it will be hard to control WHAT she texts. She does fb chat with "fb" friends and I do have the password so I am able to check on things. I have only checked twice in the last two months, but I am pretty shocked. She sends fb friend messages to guys and asks "Do I know you, do you go to my school?" I guess she has added so many friends of friends to fb that she doesn't really know them. And she is the one who almost always initiates the messages to the guys. And it is almost always the "I'm bored, what are you doing? can we hang out?' type messages. Some of the guys texts back things like... I used to go to your high school but I got kicked out... or something similar. So not the best type of people. We don't let her hang out with guys. If it was a school function then it is OK - like watching a football game, or a school activity. But her idea of hang out is "drop me off at the mall" or even wanting to get dropped off at a park several miles away. Nope. I know that the boyfriend thing is a typical teen... but she is unwilling to have a guy stop by the house... as that would be too embarrassing. Well, I keep getting sidetracked. Back to the phone. Other rules I can think of... you lose the phone... you have to replace it. Can't add money to the phone... too bad. Are most phones password protected? How would I keep track of things if something comes up and I feel like I need to see what/who she is talking to and planning? We see the therapist next week, and I want to have a list to take with me to discuss with difficult child and therapist at the same time. Thanks. KSM

Yesterday, in our opening and studying the word of God, a portion of Paul's statement – tucked at the end of verse 23 – struck me as having a military slant, in its wording.
Col 1:22 But now He has reconciled you by His physical body through His death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before Him–
Col 1:23 if indeed you remain grounded and steadfast in the faith and are not shifted away from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become a servant of it.
The Greek word diakonos is translated servant, here in the HCSB translation. If you're thinking deacon, your on the right trail. But Paul is beckoning us to dig deeper. To take this description of himself, and run with it! Spiritually, run with it! Add some feet, legs, arms and run with it! Thayer states, that this verb means "one who executes the commands of another."
What is applicable here is; as Paul was called from the dead by the living breathing Gospel preached from the throne of the King (Eph 2; John 3). And you and I, have likewise been the recipients of this divine restoration. Have been commissioned to take the very same Gospel, which was poured out upon our deadened souls, and legally, execute the commands that the giver of the Gospel, desires!
Like every Marine or infantry soldier, when given "the orders from on high" do exactly what the Apostle Paul states here; becomes a servant, or the executer, of it! If you're born again, then you're already signed up (signed in Lamb's blood). Jesus has given us our marching orders (Matt 28). So, what are you waiting for; Proclaim!


text: Ahoy mates: Is the relay that powers the sunroof and windows on the '89 200q the same yellow job as on earlier cars? Can't roll them down or open my roof. Is there a circuit breaker for the windows/roof? I searched the archives and found a procedure for resoldering the early relays. Is the procedure the same for the '89s? Many thanks, Brian

Get the facts
Devo Get the facts
Luke 14:28-30 (NIV)
28 "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, 'This person began to build and wasn't able to finish.'
Are you sure you want to follow Jesus? To the cross. There is a lot of teaching out there that says receive Jesus and everything else in the world. Get saved and everything is beautiful. I have watched many a person go to their demise, because of such lies. When things don't turn out perfect, they find there is a price to follow Jesus and they stumble and fall. There is a peace that surpasses all understanding, but it comes in the battle. It does not say put on the full armor of God to go on a picnic. Before you say sign me up know what you're signing up for. There was a movie some years ago where a young lady is enticed into the army fooled into thinking they would be staying in condos on the water and living a life of luxury. Believing the lie didn't change the reality of the truth. The glory will come to all who overcome, but first you have to go through the journey. Is it worth it? Read the end of the book. Revelation chapters 21 and 22 then you decide. As for me and my house we signed up and aren't looking back.

It's here! Xetrovoid's latest LP, Nowhere to Run, is officially out and I'm really excited for everyone to get to hear it. Head on over to the Xetrovoid Bandcamp page and snag yours now and you can listen while you read. Go ahead. I'll wait. It's available digitally and also in CD form that includes the digital version (that's the one I went with!). If you missed out on my recent interview with Xetrovoid be sure to check that out HERE. He gives some great insights into the creation of his music and the world it lives in. Alright, you ready? Let's enter the wasteland of ruined civilization and experience Nowhere to Run by Xetrovoid!
As soon as the intro track Premonition hits your ears you know that you're in the hands of a premiere synthwave act. It bridges the story from his Fugitive EP into this new album and prepares you for the journey ahead. Just when you think you're ready, Outnumbered pushes you back into your seat with a breakneck beat. I want to stop here and mention how polished this record is. In the track Hiding in the Shadows the soaring synths are so crisp you feel like you could reach out and touch them! It really helps add to the immersive feel of Xetrovoid's music and pushes his craft higher than ever before.
Something else that Xetrovoid plays with on this album is tempo change…something that I love. The tempo change in the middle of Ravenous Machines demands head banging (or for the less adventurous a head bounce). Fragments of a Memory finds us in the hands of more soaring synths that overlay a great atmospheric hook. It's a favorite on the album and one I immediately wanted to listen to again. As if flipping a coin we get the polar opposite of Fragments of a Memory….Payback. Payback is my favorite song on the record…it hits you like a jackhammer right out of the gate. Blastbeat drums, a base line hook that pulls you in hard, and a brilliantly placed oasis in the middle of the track make it a diverse landscape that demands repeat visits.
As we near the close of the album we get more of those soaring synths that Xetrovoid really brings home on A Vision from the Past. Cyborg Club brings the heat with an expertly staggered bass line and gives the impression that this isn't a club that isn't at all safe, like Sarah Connor sitting in Technoir. Don't Look Back is another heavy hitter, as Xetrovoid pulls the listener along with him as we try to escape. The album closer, Drive Away, is the perfect way to end Nowhere to Run. It's light enough to imply a happy ending, but there's darkness on the horizon and our protagonist isn't quite in the clear yet. It's like a satisfying movie ending that hints toward more story.
If you haven't figured it out yet, I think Xetrovoid has a synthwave masterwork on his hands. On Nowhere to Run he's proven himself to be a master of so many different synthwave influences, and where Xetrovoid shines is his ability to pull it off. Head over to the Xetrovoid Bandcamp, buy Nowhere to Run, and put on your favorite headphones. You won't be sorry.

THE LIST Screening with Special Q&A at the BDC
You don't want to miss this event! THE LIST will screen at the Bronx Documentary Center THIS Saturday, April 6th, at 7:30PM – but what's really special about this showing is the Q&A that follows. Kirk W. Johnson, the main subject of the film, will join Saad Saaed, an Iraqi who formerly worked for the U.S. government, and George Packer (New Yorker) for a lively discussion about the film and the current plight of U.S. affiliated Iraqis. Advance tickets on sale now!
Yes! Bipartisan Support for SIV Extension
We should say: It's about time! But we want to say: Thank you. Thank you to the 19 U.S. Representatives–Democrats and Republicans—who have sent a letter to the President with this message: Extend the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) legislation! The SIV legislation is critical to fulfilling America's moral obligation to the Iraqis who supported our military and government during the war. These Iraqis – considered U.S. allies by us, are considered traitors in Iraq. They are in danger, and without Congressional action the SIV Program designed to help them will expire. Here's the background: In 2008 the National Defense Authorization Act approved up to 5,000 special visas annually for five years for Iraqi and Afghan nationals. In 5 years, only 22% of the available Iraqi SIVs have been used. It's even less for Afghans: 12% issued. In our documentary THE LIST and our NYT Op-Doc, we highlight the failure of… LEARN MORE
THE LIST's Kirk Johnson Writes Book
Kirk Johnson's new book, "To Be a Friend Is Fatal: A Story from the Aftermath of America at War," tells the story of The List Project and the Iraqis who stepped forward to help the United States. The book is being published by Scriber and will hit bookshelves in July 2013
NYT Op-Doc by Director Beth Murphy
With the release of NYT Op-Doc FORGOTTEN IN IRAQ — based on our feature film THE LIST — director Beth Murphy writes a director's statement of her personal experience and questions President Obama's role in this issue.
Women's Adventure Magazine Profile
"Beth Murphy depicts courage and compassion in her new film, THE LIST," says Women's Adventure Magazine in its latest issue. Read Article
Interview with Anna from THE LIST
Anna Khanakah and her family (featured in THE LIST) are celebrating their second anniversary of resettling in America. In our Q&A with her this week, Anna has a lot to say about the journey from Iraq, her new life, and her experience filming the documentary. [Background: After working in high profile jobs for the U.S. Army at State Department for 7 years inside Iraq, Anna knew Islamic militants were aware of her work and considered her a traitor against her country. Fearing for her life, she applied for resettlement in the United States. She was denied. Two years passed before she was resettled in California – near her two sisters who had been evacuated from Iraq in the mid-90s because of their own affiliation with America.] Did you have any concerns when taking part in filming "The List"? Anna: There was more than a concern. It is difficult for a… LEARN MORE
THE LIST to screen at the Woods Hole Film Festival
On Sunday July 29, THE LIST will be screening in the hometown of director, Beth Murphy, at the Woods Hole Film Festival. We asked her a few questions on the dawn of her return home for the screening, about the upcoming festival and what comes next. Where does the Woods Hole Film Festival stand in terms of some of the other festivals you've been to? My favorite festivals are ones that have great market potential, the opportunity to connect in a meaningful way with audiences, and the chance for a fantastic filmmaker experience. What really is home is the Woods Hole Film Festival, a gem of a festival, and one that really cares about independent filmmakers. One way they do that is through an exciting new initiative with the online international news site GlobalPost. This collaboration supports documentary works-in-progress, and THE LIST was the first film selected for this initiative…. LEARN MORE
An Interview with Kevin Belli
Recently, we sat down with our Director of Photography & Senior Editor, Kevin Belli to pick his brain on how he got his start at Principle Pictures and all that he wishes to accomplish. What inspired you to get involved in documentary filmmaking? Seeing documentary films for the first time, films like Don't Look Back and Crumb and Gimme Shelter, made me view documentaries as an actual art form. Not only did the films really inspire me, but I realized it was the avenue to see more of the world and be able to film real stories, and that was a lot more appealing to me than creating something fictional or from a script. The truth is stranger than fiction, right? How did you begin to work with Principle Pictures? Ten years ago when I was working as a news editor, Beth was looking for an assistant editor. When the… LEARN MORE
Variety's Review of THE LIST
After seeing THE LIST's World Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this weekend, Variety's Ronnie Scheib made our day by filing this review: The Lord High Executioner in Gilbert & Sullivan's "Mikado" gloats about his "little list" of future victims, but Kirk Johnson totes around a bigger one in "The List" — several huge binders' worth. On it are names, credentials, commendations and profiles of Iraqis whose faithful service on behalf of various U.S. forces and agencies have exposed them and their families to terrorist reprisals. Though the pic traces Oskar Schindler-esque heroic actions by a lone American in a fight for justice, its effectiveness stems equally from the autonomy it grants its Iraqi protagonists. Strong docu should hit theaters prior to smallscreen play. While opposed in principle to the invasion of Iraq, Johnson felt his extensive knowledge of Islamic culture and fluency in Arabic compelled him to join the… LEARN MORE
IndieWire Highlights Female Directors at Tribeca Film Festival
Associate Producer Nathan Tisdale reflects on the importance of female directors. I was glad to see Melissa Silverstein's article on IndieWire pick out the films directed by women at this year's Tribeca Film Festival. Reading her recent posts about the stagnant growth of female directors in film, I am proud to see Beth Murphy and her fellow female directors featured. These women bring a unique voice to documentary and narrative filmmaking. Melissa identified a solution to reverse the trend of underdog women directors – start talking about them and championing their films! Tribeca will be a good place to start.
THE LIST is on to Tribeca
With THE LIST heading to the Tribeca Film Festival for its World Premiere, I want to thank my incredible team for everything that went into making this film over the past 4.5 years. We faced many challenges, and now I want you to enjoy all the rewards of your hard work. There have been great contributions made by so many: DP/Editor Kevin Belli, Executive Producers Charles Sennott and Nick Quested, Producer Sean Flynn, Composer John Califra, Graphic Artist Peggy Foley, Story Consultant Nina Gilden-Seavey, Associate Producers Beth Balaban, Alyssa Gantz and Nathan Tisdale, and dozens of talented photogs, production assistants and interns. I also want to thank Kirk Johnson and all the Iraqis on his list who shared their often harrowing–but always inspiring–stories with us.
Fledgling Fund Grant
We're proud to announce that we've received a grant from The Fledgling Fund for educational outreach with THE LIST! The Fledgling Fund gives support to media projects that help to change the lives of at-risk and marginalized groups and communities. Out of 326 letters of inquiry that Fledgling received, THE LIST was one of only 22 grantees selected. This funding will be used to create a core standards-based curriculum and study guide with Columbia University Teachers College, and to build our partnership with veterans who are overcoming issues of PTSD. Thank you Fledgling for your continued and unwavering support! And congratulations to all the other grant awardee – it's an honor to be in your company.
Recording THE LIST's Score in Prague
We've just returned from our trip to the Czech Republic, where we recorded the orchestrated tracks of our original score for THE LIST in a studio just outside Prague. As Kevin and I walked in we were stunned when we heard John's compositions played by live musicians for the first time. It's unbelievable to me that we had forty members of the Czech Philharmonic recording tracks for our film. It's something we've never experienced before and I don't know how we lived without it. Our composer, John Califra, has really inspired us through the score he's composed. It's unified the vision that Kevin and I have had for this project since the beginning. John said it best, "This is about Kirk and what he's done as an American being [in Iraq]… He represents an ideal of what [America] pretends to be but isn't." John's vision for this score has always… LEARN MORE
Principle Inspirations: Characters
Thanks to our anticipated trip to Prague to record THE LIST film score with members of the Czech Philharmonic, I am re-reading the masterful "The Unbearable Lightness of Being." In this passage about "characters" I'm reminded of how we as documentary filmmakers make decisions about those we feature in our films: "…characters are not born like people, of woman; they are born of a situation, a sentence, a metaphor containing in a nutshell a basic human possibility that the author thinks no one else has discovered or said something essential about… The characters… are my own unrealized possibilities… an investigation of human life in the trap the world has become."
Principle Voices: Kevin on THE LIST edit
Kevin Belli is Principle Pictures' Senior Editor and Director of PhotographyA whole day of editing, that's how a typical day at Principle Pictures looks like for me, these last few months. I come in and review what I've done the day before. I try to macromanage myself and set daily goals. You can get really overwhelmed when you think about an hour long film for example. Every scene is like its own little film and it has to make sense in the context of the bigger story.The most important thing for the rough cut is establishing structure. Beth Murphy (Director) and I will sit down and work out the film's structure. The order information is presented, the order of the scenes, how the information is shared, how much information is being revealed… all of that establishes the pacing of the film. I like to think creatively about how to tell… LEARN MORE
We're on the Move!
When Kevin and I return from Iraq, we're coming back to our new office in Boston. Plymouth has been our home since I founded the company in my basement over 10 years ago. There's a lot of pride, countless memories, and a ton of tapes packed up in that U-Haul that's making its way up I-93 North today! So thankful to everyone who made it happen — Sean, Alyssa, Beth (Balaban), Kate, Danny, Jim (Sean's Dad), Alyssa's Dad, Andrew, and Dennis!! You all completely and totally rock!
Electricity Revolution
Next to me on the couch is a plastic bag filled with samoon, the eye-shaped Iraqi bread that Umm Muhammad brings every morning—warm and soft. Now it is hardened from sitting in the hot sun all day. There's a baseball bat resting nearby—put there by Carmen, a foreign correspondent and our housemate, who uses it to smack the flat bread over the front yard wall. On the other side, it lands with a soft thud, momentarily enveloped in a burst of dust. Even though Jadriya is the most exclusive area of Baghdad—it's where President Jalal Talabani lives—the streets are dirt and littered with trash. And the electricity is out, again. From my seat on the living room couch that's been moved outside, I can't see the children playing on the street beyond the wall, but I can hear them—their shouts muffled by the constant hum of generators. "Generator city," our… LEARN MORE
A) Magic Wand B) Bomb Detector C) Magic Wand Bomb Detector D) None of the Above
Every day people tell us to be careful. That's because every day the bombs going off across the country make it into the news. Many of them are in Baghdad. Most of them are car bombs. Just today 27 people were killed. Officials have known for a very, very long time that stopping car bombs is a top priority. That's why they invested in expensive bomb detectors, and outfitted every checkpoint with them. When I say expensive, I mean more-than-the-price-of-your-car-expensive. They're between $20,000 and $60,000 a pop. And when I say every checkpoint, I mean the roadblocks that are set up about every ten feet or so. Seriously, it's hard to go more than a minute without encountering a checkpoint. That means every car driving through the city has dozens of opportunities to be sniffed out for TNT and other explosives that will turn the vehicle into a deadly inferno…. LEARN MORE
Blog V Doc
These stories I've been sharing — and will continue to share — from the road often have very little to do with the actual subject matter of the documentary we're filming. That's intentional. I don't want to give the whole story away, and I'm contractually obligated not to! Filming here has all the highs and lows I enjoy about the roller coaster filmmaking business itself. The common wisdom among journalists is to come in wanting 100%, expect 75%, and settle for 50%. Good thing I came in wanting 200%, so now I only have to settle for 100%. We're filming every day, and so is a local crew we've hired. They are incredibly hardworking and talented, and the cameraman's back story is fantastic. Remember when the guy hucked a couple shoes at President Bush when he visited Baghdad at the end of 2008? Yasser, our local cameraman, is the guy… LEARN MORE
Sights and Sounds of Baghdad
The desert knows me well, the night and the mounted men.The battle and the sword, the paper and the pen. — Abul Tayyeb al-Mutanabi Ever hear a new sound — one you've never heard before but you know you'll never forget? It happened to me once in Etretat, thanks to the shingle beach. The new sound then? Water crushing the small stones. And it happened to me again today, thanks to a coffee vendor who turned his two porcelain coffee cups into castanets while walking up and down Mutanabi Street. Central Baghdad's Mutanabi Book Market — it's named after a classical Arab poet, so it's not surprising that this is considered the intellectual capitol of the city. Scholars, students, soldiers and shopkeepers come to buy and sell magazines, maps, magnifying glasses, prayer beads, video games, stuffed animals, and–of course–books. There aren't too many women around, but men are hanging out… LEARN MORE
Agony of De-Feet
Good thing Kevin brought all those anti-inflammatories… Not a good day for our driver, either. This happened on the streets of Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan (in northern Iraq) just before he was pulled over by the cops for an illegal turn. We're heading back to Baghdad first thing in the morning where, ironically, it may feel a bit safer.
I Think We're Going to Need a Bigger Tunnel
The trip to the military's media social should have taken about 5 minutes. But since the bus transporting us (17 international journalists) couldn't fit through Slayer Tunnel, we enjoyed the 45-minute scenic tour through Baghdad's Victory Base Camp… past the True Value Hardware store, Paris Boutique and bowling alley… alongside the never-ending rows of concrete T-walls… and, finally, a right onto Vigilant Road toward the opulent Al Faw Palace and "the juicer" (see picture below – don't you wish you had a massive orange?). As I met and mingled with our military's impressive key leaders and senior staff on a beautiful deck overlooking Saddam's "Water Palace," a band (whose sole purpose is to increase morale around the country) played hits from the Eagles and Pink Floyd, and some guys hit golf balls into the lake. Our conversations were interrupted by this request: please bow your heads, the chaplain will now… LEARN MORE
GPS Tracker
Before leaving for Iraq, I was thinking that it'd be great to implant a GPS tracking device… in my arm or leg, behind my ear. Anything external can be taken from you, and there are certain areas that mandate alerting others about your whereabouts. Video Above: Martin Chulov from the Guardian alerted London about our travels into Abu Ghraib.
We headed west out of Baghdad today – toward Anbar Province, birthplace of the Sons of Iraq movement. Also known as the Awakening Council or Sahwa, the Sons of Iraq are Sunni Arabs who once took up arms against the United States, but then joined forces with us to fight Al Qaeda. Iraqi officials refused to let us into the area without a military escort. "If you go in there alone, you won't make it out alive," the Baghdad Commander told our translator on the phone this morning. (Picture Above: Kevin gets into an Iraqi Army humvee) Here's what we knew going in: A man and his two sons were shot to death at their home in al-Zaidan village, a farming area of Abu Ghraib. This is still like Iraq's Wild West. Suspicions were that the killers got the wrong guy… that they really wanted the dead man's brother who… LEARN MORE

This is the shutter card we made at one of our team meetings. It uses the Lift Me Up stamp set and now retired paper.
These cards are really fun to make! Hugs, Fran
Here's a card using Avant Garden that I combined two different cards I saw on Pinterest to create. One was a sketch and one was these colors and stamps. I used Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizazz and Soft Sky for the flowers and Daffodil Delight for the butterfly from Papillon Potpourri. I used Wink of Stella on the stamping – just because – and did some background interest with Dazzling Details, some clear elements and candy dots. The sentiment is from Lift Me Up. Hugs, Fran
I've been doing a lot of this style card recently! This time I used Lift Me Up to create a birthday card. The balloon and clouds are die cut with the matching framelits and the Salebration paper Carried Away was used for the card. (Actually the dots behind the ballon are Mint Macaron from the In Colors paper pack). The clouds are stamped in Smoky Slate and the balloon in Night of Navy. Hugs, Fran
