Our journey continues! In the morning of the 27th we woke up with enough time to see some things we had missed in Augsburg the day before. Our first stop that morning was to visit the City Hall, where apparently there was a "golden room" worth seeing. And wow, was it definitely worth seeing:
The detail in the statues, walls and ceiling were amazing, and the entire room glowed. Desi and I stood in awe for a few moments taking it all in.
Our next stop was a church (St. Georg), which was actually our first stop but there was a service taking place when we walked by the first time. As our luck would have it, the service had concluded and we were free to enter and take photos. So, in continuing my fisheye cathedral series, here is the next image in that set:
From here we headed to the train station and proceeded to board the train that would take us to Buchloe, transfer to Kaufbeuren, and transfer once more to Füssen. When we arrived in Füssen, the first thing we did was find some postcards to mail and reserve our seats for tomorrow's departure. We didn't have a place to stay, so we headed to the visitors center and they provided us a list of every hostel in town with vacancies. We quickly found one and within 30 minutes we were checked in to our room.
It was getting later in the afternoon, and we still hadn't seen anything yet aside from the beautiful mountains coming into town. We found a taxi to take us to the castles, about 5-10 minutes outside of town. We arrived just in time to buy our tickets – we made it into the last tour of the day for Neuschwanstein Castle, the one we came to Füssen to see. So, we sat and ate a late lunch/early dinner and waited for the bus to take us up to see this:
Even with the construction, the view of the castle was breathtaking. So picturesque, and such a beautiful day. The bus ride up was scary though, with such narrow roads right near the edge of cliffs. On our way back we decided to walk, and it was actually much nicer that way. 🙂
We posed on the bridge where the best scenic view was and a passerby snapped a photo of Desi and I:
After playing with my camera for a while (Desi was very patient with me, as always 😉 ), we started walking closer to the castle where we would have a tour of the inside. I should also mention the beautiful wildflowers in and around the castle; here's a sample of what we found:
The castle itself was quite big from the outside, as this photo of the courtyard illustrates:
Out time came and in we went, on a guided tour of Neuschwanstein Castle. The castle was only partially completed, so the tour brought us through all of the completed areas of the interior. No photographs were allowed on the inside, so I have no idea how this picture ended up on my memory card:
You were however allowed to take photos outside of the castle windows, which I took advantage of. This is probably one of my favourite scenic photos from this day:
We had a blast, and when we made our way back to town we got our pictures taken by some interesting animated artwork outside the tourist center:
After resting in our hostel for a while, Desi had the great idea to head out and find some desert at a local restaurant. The chocolate mousse and ice cream deserts we had were delicious (sadly no photos), but I did manage to take a photo of a statue in the town before we called it a night:
Such a wonderful day, so much was experienced in so little time that reflecting on it, this one day seems like it was at least three. Definitely our favourite castle. 🙂 We fell asleep fairly quickly as our train in the morning would leave at 7am, but that's for the next post 🙂 Enjoy the photo gallery below!

Lovely, amazing, wonderful, great, sweet, photos Donny. I love them all and sweetheart, you are always so patient with me too. Loving you so very much! Forever <3<3<3
October 6th, 2009 | 8:20 pm
Finally someplace I've actually been! Neuschwanstein is gorgeous! 😀 Did you go across that bridge? When I went in 2003 there wasn't any construction, but I'd forgotten my camera that day. You took a bus up? We hiked up…

Great adventure and pictures.
We may not comment about all your entries but
we enjoy reading them. Keep them coming.
Hope to see you and Desi this Thanksgiving weekend.

Hi Don and Desi
Absolutely breathtaking photographs…my favorite picture is the gold ceiling at city hall next to that would be the mountain with the moon out during the day. Of course I love the pictures of you and Desi, you are such an adorable couple.
Sounds like you had a fabulous time in Germany, what beautiful scenery especially the one with the castle in the mountain.
looking forward to your next post.
Love Mom and Walter

This is the records summary for July 3.
According to the Meeker County Sheriff's office, deputies and the Litchfield police and fire departments were called around 1 a.m. to a structure fire at 62502 State Highway 24 in Litchfield Township.
The farm site was vacant and the house had been prepped and used earlier in the day by the fire department for training purposes. It is believed that one of the earlier training fires in the house had rekindled after the fire department and property owner had left.
Ryan Rathbun, 25, of Litchfield, is the property owner and gave the structure for the fire department training.
The house was allowed to burn down completely. The house had no monetary value and was scheduled to be burned on Aug. 4 during a controlled burn by the Litchfield Fire Department.
WILLMAR — The theft of a purse, which had been left behind by its owner, was reported around 2 p.m. Monday at Rau Park, 1000 Seventh St. N.W.
WILLMAR — The theft of a wallet was reported around 10 p.m. Monday at Wal-Mart, 700 19th Ave. S.E.
WILLMAR — Two people were cited for disorderly conduct after police were called around 12:50 a.m. Tuesday to a fight along the 600 block of Becker Avenue Southeast.
District Court
Kandiyohi County
- Jeffrey Scott Hookom, 16, of Willmar, was sentenced Monday to probation until his 19th birthday, 16 days at Prairie Lakes Detention Center and 50 hours of community service on a third-degree burglary charge for breaking into a rural Willmar business on May 13 and a second-degree burglary charge for stealing a safe from a rural Willmar residence in April.
Hookum was also ordered to pay $2,929.99 in restitution in the safe theft case and to pay $2,250 in restitution, jointly with his co-defendants, in the business burglary case.
He was also ordered to attend school regularly or complete the GED program, write an apology letter and remain law-abiding.
As part of a plea agreement, an additional felony charge of theft, plus misdemeanor counts of theft and property damage, were dismissed.
Felony charges against 16- and 17-year-olds are public record. Hookom was one of four young men charged in the business burglary case. James Harold Handt III, 21, of Willmar, and Tyler Chase Sanders, 19, of Kandiyohi, also face felony charges of third-degree burglary and misdemeanor charges of theft and property damage. Handt's next appearance is Aug. 19. Sanders' next hearing is July 31.
Jesse Allen Maag, 17, of Willmar, was sentenced, as a juvenile, to 10 days at Prairie Lakes Youth Programs secure detention, probation until his 19th birthday and 45 days in jail on a felony charge of third-degree burglary.
According to the complaints and petitions, Kandiyohi County sheriff's deputies responded after the business owner reported around 10:50 p.m. May 13 that someone had broken into his shop.
There was surveillance video that showed Hookom forcing open a door with his foot, while the others milled around outside, and Hookom and Maag rummaging around an office before Maag picked up a muffler and walked out the door with the item.
Deputies located Hookom, who was wearing the same clothing as he was in the surveillance video. The tread of his shoes matched the shoeprint left on the business door. Hookom was
The other three were located two hours later in Willmar and were interviewed. Sanders allegedly admitted to going to the business to steal items and claimed they left the location, leaving Hookom behind.
Handt also admitted to going to the business because he needed a muffler, which was located in a ditch and returned to the business owner.
Maag told officers that they went to the business to get some property and that he carried away the muffler.
The second-degree burglary charge was filed after a rural Willmar resident reported on April 2 that a lockbox safe was missing from his residence. The safe contained about $3,000 in cash and other items. The investigation, including interviews with two men, revealed that Hookom had taken the safe from the house and another man had broken it open at Hookom's request.

Janet was more worried about turning the DHS into a Lesbian lovefest.
I have heard from several sources that Janet's DHS has some really weird stuff going on inside of it concerning her treatment of male staffers.....
Almost like how she loves to "dominate and humiliate" them...
Creepy and weird!
Folks, follow up on the timescale: Tamerlan is said to have returned from Russia in June/July 2012.
Yet, if the CIA added or tried to add him to the terrorism watch list months before then, should he ever have been allowed back into the USA??
Remember that he was on a "green card" so he could/should have been kept out?? Can't a green card be revoked if someone qualifies for the terrorist watch list??
At the very least he should have drawn close attention from the FBI, and apparently did not.
For one thing, if he was on anyone's radar, properly, how could it have taken several days until the public circulation of the brothers' photos??? How could the brothers have remained free so long after the bombings when they were "hiding in plain sight"???
This is a massive, epic counter-intel FAIL on many counts.

Senate Essay, Research Paper
Exploring the Distinction between the House and Senate
In the House and Senate, Ross L. Baker investigates the differences encompassing both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This book reveals an in-depth comparison between the two chambers, providing a through history regarding the differences in size, leadership, and electoral relations.
First, the disparity of size has always been a questionable matter concerning Congress. When our Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, many compromises took place in order for most of the Continental Congress to agree with this revolutionary form of government. However, many people were still not pleased. In the first years after the establishment of the bicameral Congress, observers, some from different countries, recorded extensive examinations of the difference between both chambers. Alexis de Tocqueville enjoyed the size of the Senate allowing unlimited discussion and debate. On the other hand, he felt that the rules of the House of Representatives restricted debate.
Baker further explores the reasons why size has an effect on the class distinctions differentiating between both chambers. Since the state legislatures elected the Senate, the government began to regard the Senate as an elitist group. In contrast, due to the fact that the people directly elect the House, the government began to regard the Representatives as common, ordinary people. During this time period, Alexis de Tocqueville wrote in favor of the structuring of the Senate. He agreed with senatorial appointment by state legislatures because of the Senator?s willingness to contribute to the government through high-minded thought and eloquent speech. He regarded the Representatives of the House as cloud-minded people filled with trivial thoughts irrelevant to government. He did not believe that the people could adequately select a group of people to represent them directly in government.
Senators experience more privileges because of the difference of size in both chambers. When finding office space, Senators are allowed 4,000 square feet, while Representatives are only allowed 1,000 to 1,500 square feet. Senators also enjoy a staff of about 60-80 employees while Representatives only employ about 20 to 25 people. Senators enjoy a six-year term limit, easing the advancement and security of a congressional career. On the other hand, the House makes it difficult for Representatives to secure a congressional career by only allowing two-year term limit. Representatives must constantly campaign and are not able to be as focussed on political issues as Senators.
Senators enjoy the advantage of certain individual powers that Representatives do not have. Senators enjoy unlimited time of discussion and are allowed to speak as long as desired. Senators can also ask for a recorded vote at any time during debate. With the power to stop debate on a bill single handedly, Senators can request a hold on the bill or using a filibuster. Clotures against filibusters are possible, but rarely succeed in passage. Senators also enjoy the ability to add non-germane amendments to popular bills. These amendments can be previous bills that were revoked or entirely new amendments. By the usage of non-germane amendments directly added on the Senate floor, Senators can completely circumvent the committee system. Because the House has a germaness rule, the job of the committee will not be evaded.
Second, Congressional leadership varies in both chambers; however, both the House and Senate share the responsibilities of committees. Committee membership uncovers a determining factor with whom a Congressman will interact with in a particular setting. Since senatorial committees tend to be smaller, Senators are able to develop personal friendships with other senators establishing contacts that will last for several years. When selecting members for a committee, partisan bias differed immensely between both chambers. In the Senate, committee chairmen tend to choose members by a joint leadership with the ranking minority member. Minority members are active participants. They are also as politically important as any other majority members are. The committee chairman ensures to include the minority out of common courtesy and to prevent any individual opposition that might stop a bill from being heard by the committee. On the other hand, the House operates to guarantee that the minority remains a minority. Both Republican and Democratic leadership chose members based tremendously on particular partisanship. Committee chairman search for members known to stick with their party on all issues, pledging an assurance that whatever bill the committee chairman wants to pass will not have any opposition.
The quality of leadership differs in both the House and Senate. Some of the greatest leaders in the Senate have been the Senators with great oratory skills while in the House; some of the greatest leaders are the Representatives who are able to impressively use the powers of persuasion. Baker mentions that this distinction in leadership was based primarily on the difference in rules. Senators are allowed to speak longer on the Senate floor, having a full audience to hear their speech. However, because of the strict time limitations present in the House, Representatives use recess hours to ensure both partisan and individual support for a bill. Senators are exposed to each other enabling individuals to recognize leadership outside the designated offices. Representatives are unable to effectively seek out leadership located beyond the Speaker and Majority Leader.
Finally, the congressional representation varies greatly within both chambers. In the House, Congressmen represent a district. In districts, interests tend to be narrower, representative of one dominant racial or ethnic group. Because of this assiduously- based philosophy, Congressional districts are about the most secure location for an incumbent. Baker states that ?once he or she is entrenched, establishes name recognition, and raises enough campaign money to deter or defeat challenges, only conspicuous criminality or incredibly bad luck seem capable of dislodging the House incumbent (104).?
Representing a state, in contrast to a district, is entirely different. Senators must constantly be open minded to issues yet still maintain a sense of security in the majority view. Senators must represent both farmers and executives. They must maintain a sense of balance between liberal and conservative views. Senators have a difficult time establishing name recognition within the first years of office. Because of differences in state constituents, Senators must constantly battle for a consistent platform agreeing with the diversity of the state.
Media attention differs between Representatives and Senators. Voters tend to get to know Representatives through face-to-face interaction. Constituents are likely to meet House members at meetings or gatherings. They are able to talk with their Representative and directly involve themselves. In contrast, voter contact with Senators is not very personal. Senators shake hands and are highly visible. However, they are able to directly speak with constituents on issue-based problems. Voters primarily see their Senator during elections when television ads are frequent in a senatorial campaign. Television has its drawback. Baker states that television ads are ?unilateral, impersonal, and establishes no firm bond. Yet senators are compelled to use it (123).?
One weakness of the book is, although it attempts to provide adequate examples to the situations presented by the author, some of the examples tend to be too lengthy and detract from the subject matter. When reading about bipolar districts, Baker recites three examples of different Representatives who experienced basically the same occurrence but in a different district. Instead, he should of only recited one example and give his opinion of the situation. Baker?s greatest flaw is his unwillingness to give his opinion. The introduction leads the reader to believe that Baker will give an attentive description of his observations and interviews. Instead, he only gave brief thoughts cluttered by long-winded examples and quotations.
Generally, Baker?s sense of structure and organization is dynamic. Each individual thought is concise, divided into a separate theme within each chapter. His observations provide a detailed account of life in Congress. I was adequately impressed on the prudent contrast he recited between the House of Representatives and the Senate. It is uncanny to believe that so many differences exist even within the same branch of government. I also agreed with what topics he covered concerning Congress. It?s rare when a book goes into much detail pertaining to lobbying. Baker was able to effectively describe the art of lobbying and how it both directly and indirectly effects Congress.

text: Predictive Value of Cervical Length in Women With Threatened Preterm LaborMelamed, Nir MD; Hiersch, Liran MD; Domniz, Noam MD; Maresky, Akiva; Bardin, Ron MD; Yogev, Yariv MDObstetrics & Gynecology: December 2013 - Volume 122 - Issue 6 - p 1279–1287 doi: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000000022 Contents: Original Research Abstract In Brief Author Information OBJECTIVE: To assess the predictive role of ultrasonographic cervical length for preterm delivery in women with threatened preterm labor. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of women with singleton pregnancies who presented with preterm labor before 34 weeks of gestation and underwent ultrasonographic measurement of cervical length in a tertiary medical center. Women with cervical cerclage, cervical dilatation greater than 3 cm at presentation, and pregnancies complicated by placental abruption, clinical chorioamnionitis, stillbirth, or major fetal anomalies were excluded. The predictive accuracy of cervical length for preterm delivery was analyzed using both fixed thresholds and outcome-specific thresholds, which are associated with a detection rate of 90%, false-positive rate of 10%, or the inflexion point of the receiver operator characteristic curve. RESULTS: Between 2007 and 2012, 1,077 women presented with preterm labor and met the study criteria. The correlation between cervical length and the time interval to delivery was significant but weak (r=0.293, P<.001). Cervical length was independently associated with the risk of preterm delivery at less than 37, 35, and 32 weeks of gestation and within 14 and 7 days from presentation (a 4–7% decrease in the risk for each additional millimeter of cervical length) as well as with the time interval between presentation and delivery (each additional 2 mm was associated with an increase of 1 day). Overall, the accuracy of cervical length in predicting preterm delivery was relatively poor. CONCLUSION: Although cervical length is an independent predictor of preterm delivery in women with preterm labor, its predictive accuracy as a single measure is relatively limited. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II In women with preterm labor, cervical length is an independent predictor for preterm delivery; however, its predictive accuracy as a single measure is relatively limited.

Sparkling Henman has the perfect response after Rusedski's failure
HE NOW refers to it as "the situation". Greg Rusedski repeated the mantra half a dozen times in his review of the two weeks during which his life has been turned on its axis. For him, the situation may have never looked grimmer but he is going to his fate next month with chin jutting and conscience clear.
Almost nine hours after Rusedski bade farewell to the Australian Open — possibly for the final time — Tim Henman's rousing first-round victory over Jean-Rene Lisnard, of France, offered a degree of respite to the British, who have spent the past few days having to deal with insinuations about Rusedski's honesty in his response to the positive test for nandrolone, the banned steroid.
Henman was irresistible. The…

It makes sense that Hawaii's fairy folk are ecologically minded because the ancient Hawaiians revered nature–so, of course that would be reflected in their legends. Menehune, although sometimes mischievous, were often credited with helpfully building fish ponds, rock walls, irrigation ditches and other natural formations. In this new keiki book titled The Little Greenies, Manu the Seabird, Hawaii resident Petronella Evers introduces us to a new type of island fairy folk in the form of sprites called the Little Greenies.
So far there are four Little Greenies: Ula, Akamai, Pua and Ipo, each with their own personality. While playing in the garden one day, the Little Greenies find two children worrying over a sick sea bird. The Greenies use an apricot whistle to call a Greenie doctor who finds out that Manu the Seabird is sick because he swallowed some plastic while hunting for fish. The children and the Greenies want to make sure no other birds get hurt so they organize a beach clean up!
The Greenies are handcrafted by Petronella and their costumes are inspired by things of the earth. Each one is unique. The whole book is illustrated with detailed, colorful photographs that Petronella took herself with the Greenies posed in various ways. She created an entire garden world where the Little Greenies live, complete with a little house made with vines and palms. The pictures are fun and vibrant, and it's entertaining for the kids to see if they can spot the Greenies–they kind of blend into the landscape with their adorable "leaf" clothes. It almost makes me want to go rooting around my own garden just in case there might be a Greenie hiding somewhere, it certainly made my little cousins wonder.
It's hard not to pick up this book and enjoy the cute smiling faces of the Greenies. I especially loved the bonus at the end where the Greenies teach you how to make your own apricot whistle. The Little Greenies, Manu the Seabird is a fresh, creative book with a great message about taking care of the land and sea, as well as caring for the animals that share them with us. I hope we see more nature adventures with the Greenies and their keiki friends.
We had the privilege to meet Petronella at the Hawaii Book & Music Festival; she's so charismatic it's easy to see where the Little Greenies get their energy from. Stay tuned, in the next couple of weeks we'll have an author interview with Petronella and hopefully we'll get to ask the Greenies some questions too. 😉

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Father's Day Again
It's back. Why? He's gone.
He was gone before I even knew it. Gone before he knew it. Coming off the lake after a perfect day of fishing with his best friends. Did he have even a moment to know what his death would do? What sorrow, pain, chaos, and disorder it would bring? I hope not and yet, being the man he was, I think as the last synapse fired he felt worry knowing what he was leaving behind and that none of his children were prepared to handle it. He would never have wished for such a burden to fall to us just as it should never have fallen to him. But it did. To all of us.
So we were left. All our lives turned inside out by such a train wreck as we could not imagine. By the time my life was my own again it was too late to grieve. Only one person got to grieve and they used up all the grief in the room.
Instead of grief I am left with some awful permutation of sorrow and rage. The horrible aftermath crowds my mind until he is a bit player in his own death. I know I have to find my way back but until that time I'll just focus very hard and write five things about him I know to be true and that made him the man I called Dad. How I wish I could call him now.
© Never met a bowl of popcorn he didn't like
© He believed I could do or be whatever I set my mind to (gave me a copy of Zig Ziglar's See You at the Top when I finished college)
© Was universally respected by the people he worked with and for- even when they didn't agree
© Was one of the best extemporaneous speakers I've ever heard. Weddings, funerals- he hit the perfect note every time (despite referring to me as the Edsel at our rehearsal dinner)
© Made sure that we had a family vacation every summer

I know you just sent me this link, but I actually read it when it was posted. Because I don't have a relationship with my dad, I didn't have much to say without sounding lame.
This is a beautiful post, and although I'm sorry for your loss and the pain that you still feel, I am envious of the love and admiration that you both shared. Take comfort in those facts, as I'm sure there a million and five you could add.

Instability is Epidemic
As time passes more and more of my students show up to my classes or workshops who have an asymmetric pelvis. Many have low back pain as well as sacroilliac or hip joint discomfort. The pain ranges from mild to severe. My new dvd release, Yoga for the Asymmetric Pelvis, addresses several different angles for relieving these types of pain. I have selected a series of seven short videos to share with you focused on poses to stabilize your sacrum with the aid of Joanne Tugwell, a former student of mine and the owner of Wake Forest Yoga in NC.
Students of yoga often suffer from "Pelvic Rim Instability" due to over stretching or performing poses without alignment. These students are mostly female. This seven pose series helps you identify how you can practice yoga to create stability and muscle memory to become more grounded and pain free in your pelvis. You can find the full information on using yoga therapeutically with alignment in my book, Healing Our Backs with YogaTM: an essential guide to back pain relief. There is a whole section devoted to the asymmetric pelvis!
Begin with Tadasana
In this first video we examine Tadasana and Uttanasana, and what it tells us about our pelvis.
Please feel free to comment on this topic and share your experience.
Namaste, Lillah

Ladies Football: In the London & SE Regional League Premier Division Borehamwood Ladies were comprehensively beaten 0-7 by Hemel Hempstead Town Ladies.
A great start for the Tudors saw Suzy Read hit the opener quickly, followed by a Titch Wood-Thompson strike. Mickey Taylor made it 3-0 and Suzy Read was on hand to make it 4-0 before half time.
Hemel didn't sit back and take it easy, as can be the case when you dominate a game in the first half.
It was Suzy Read again hitting the net and her hat trick but not satisfied with that she made it four goals to her name and 6-0 to the Tudors.
Captain Kayleigh Baker finished it off with number seven with minutes remaining.
A great first victory for 2012 as Hemel begin their push for silverware.
Next week they are away to Stevenage in the County Cup quarter-finals

Shadow Warrior Central
Rob and bike.
So, I guess if you've come this far you may be wondering,
who is Robman? Why did he create SWC?
My name is Robert G. from Canada. As I sit and write this, it's 2013 and I am 30 years old.
I discovered Shadow Warrior back in late '97 or early 1998. I was 14 and my Grandfather purchased my first computer ever. Before that point I basically had zero computer experience. It was an IBM aptiva.
15" CRT monitor, Cyrix 133Mhz processor, 16mb pc66 ram. 2gb Quantum "bigfoot" HDD, 56k modem, 2mb ATI gfx, stereo speakers, kb/mouse and Canon bubblejet printer.. almost $3000 later, I owned a computer.
My neighbour had come over and given me some games like Wolfenstein3d and Commander Keen via floppy disk which were some of the first games to land on my pc. Soon that evolved into Duke3d which was great fun, some friends from school and I would play dial up modem deathmatches at a screaming 26.4 dial up connection (my ancient phone line never let me get 56k, did I mention I grew up on a 150 year old farm?) Soon after I discovered Shadow Warrior as shareware and it didn't take me long to get dial up internet so I could most important of all, access TEN! With TEN you could log on and play Shadow Warrior "wangbang" matches over the internet which I thought was just so incredibly amazing. I can say for most of the evenings that summer I was a Shadow Warrior TEN multiplayer addict, lol. I would log onto TEN and hope Mr.Bandwidth would rate my connection as " GOOD " with his alien head eyes turning yellow and the following chimes that affirmed this. My first username was made up quickly when I first logged onto TEN, The Simpsons was on TV in the background. Apu said his classic line "please come again" and boom, ApuPlease was my username as dumb as it was. About 5 months later I changed it to Robman as my old neighbour/friend Paul used to call me at times and has remained ever since.
I met many great people and had so much fun playing Sw online that I soon started bumbling around trying to make a webpage for it. There has been many, much smaller "versions" of Shadow Warrior Central from the ages.
At some point, I think in early 1999 TEN.net evolved into PoGo.com and dropped the TEN gaming service. The Sw community pretty much shattered, left with other online game services like HEAT.net and KALI, Wireplay and iC but it just didn't seem the same. TEN was a kind of "mystical den" that housed the energy that was "WangBang". Websites and players of the game dropped like flies and moved onto the next thing. All through the years I've strived to be stubborn enough to keep my Shadow Warrior Central webpage alive and with it hopefully a spark that once was the inferno of FUN known as Sw on TEN. I have tried to "preserve" as much of the content related to Shadow Warrior here on this site in hopes that it never truely fades away. So many great personalities/usermaps and webpages have been lost or forgotten. Shadow Warrior went a few years caught in-between operating systems, not being compatible with the newer code of Windows XP was an especially quiet time for Sw. Until an OpenGL port was created by Jonothan Fowler which was the best thing since sliced cheese for sw. ProAsm took Jonos work alittle farther with the SWP port. These days I do my sw gaming over Meltdown, Yang or Dukematcher.
I had created 1 map for Duke later on in my "Duke Phase" which preceded my finding of Shadow Warrior. The map had no sector effects and was nothing special but hey! I was on my way to learning how to make maps for a computer game which to me was mind blowing! So through the years I dabbled around with Build for Shadow Warrior and only recently have I learned enough about it to build a decent map, lol. C'est la vie. Other than creating this website I have put a few maps together, many are unfinished or not uploaded but I have a few up for download that I am reasonably pleased with.
ProArena.map, SwWorld.map, Eagle.map, TheEdge.map, Reflex.map, SwDanzig, Dm-RJG.map, SillyMap.map and more...
I really like the player movement and pretty much everything about Sw, it's a good fit for me, and it's online play is speedy/accurate. The player's skill really shines through with Sw as it seems the controls and player movement hold nothing back between the person playing and the player on the screen. It really is a match of "wits." So anyway, I hope to continue my "siege" to keep Shadow Warrior alive and look forward to having more online matches as well as seeing new Sw content in the future.
I would like to say Thankyou to all the people, past & present who have put energy & effort towards the game, Shadow Warrior Central and anything else Sw related. It's an epic game that in my eyes is way more fun than any new game out there and is really my only internet hobby.

The Power of Republic
There is no question in my mind that the founding fathers were brilliant. How else could they have foreseen the balance of power to bestow on a newly formed government; a government which respected both the individual vote, the democratic aspect, and the difference between urban and rural visions of what a country should be, the republic. For all its flaws, and there are many, our Congress reflects the opinions and attitudes and prejudices of both the most wealthy landed gentry and the poorest common laborer in a more equitable manner than any system there-to-fore. A democracy, where in one man, one vote, rules the day; a republic, where in each state elects only two senators, no matter its population, and one congressman for a given population. Two houses; one who enjoys two senators from a state as small, in population, as Wyoming (just over a half million people) and two senators from a state as large as California, with over 70 times the population. There is the power of a republic.
Jefferson, in particular, wrote with a pen so broad in many aspects, and yet so pointed and narrow in many, that his foresight cut a path through a forest of former governmental failures and near successes, to create one that has lasted and prospered for two hundred years…yet due to one possibly fatal flaw, may now teeter on a precipice created by its own respect for the right of every man represented, and that's his right to vote his preference. And the preference of far too many has become vote yourself not an opportunity but an advantage over your fellows; vote yourself an unearned and unsustainable piece of the pie-unsustainable because inequities should come from ability and aspiration, not from the mere ability to pull the lever on a voting machine. All men, as is said so eloquently in the Bill of Rights, are created equal; but all men do not aspire to equal productivity, an equal amount of enterprise, or even an equal investment in time and effort. All men do not want to rise above their fellows in wealth or economic power, which is fine in the eyes of that same bill of rights, but all men should be content to take what they earn, and not to vote themselves a position unequal to a return on the investment of their time and effort. For the first time in the history of this republic there are more voters who pay no tax than voters who do, and that may be the final failure of the system.
Large communal organizations, including the Federal government, have voted, and negotiated, and purloined, an inequitable share of the pie. Government is by its very nature, unproductive in a free society, and its only function should be to perform those tasks beyond the scope of the individual, the city, the county, and the state. Those functions should be the common defense, the protection of the border, and commonality of banking and commerce, and other interstate endeavors beyond the scope of the states, such as interstate highways, railroads, and airlines.
Yes, there are functions only a Federal government can perform, but its size, and the size of local governments, must be limited, for only so much weight can be carried on the shoulders of those actually producing the wealth that drives any economy-goods and services.
It's obvious, or should be, that government can't give to one man without taking from another; and how much can those in a productive free-enterprise society be expected to produce, how much can be taken from them before they lost incentive to produce. I fear we're reaching a tipping point where free-enterprise, productivity, production, is at an apex, and attitudes are beginning to shift. Not only attitudes, but basic morals. When you find segments of society that have retired, with full disability because the retirement is 20 per cent greater than those who've retired "without" full disability, and are on the golf course driving the ball 300 yards now that their negotiation for "full disability" is behind them, then there's a basic failure in the moral fabric of our country and no reason to believe that the fabric is not beginning to unravel. What they are is liars and cheats, and maybe that's one condition the framers and writers of the Constitution could not foresee…when a very large percentage of their countrymen would lie, cheat, and vote themselves into an unfair share.
Its time for every citizen to look into every crack and cranny, and dark hole, of this country and weed out the cheats, the thieves, those who've taken more than their share even if only by a small lie, for it's truly breaking the back of the rest of us-and that true disability might be permanent.

26 August, 2016
Today, Fed Chairman Janet Yellen will make a speech at 14:00 GMT. In addition, the US Q2 GDP Growth second estimate (QoQ) annualized figure, and Goods Trade Balance for July, to be released at 12:30 GMT.
The advance estimate of the US Q2 GDP (QoQ) released on 29th July was 1.2%, less than half of the expectations of 2.6%. The dollar index fell 1.41%, which has been the biggest intra-day fall in two and a half months. The Goods Trade deficit rose to -$63.30 bln in June, from -$60.59 bln in May. The deficit has seen an uptrend from -$57 bln in Mar 2016.
It will be interesting to see if Yellen will still hold her dovish stance after the recent hawkish comments from Fed Vice Chairman Fischer, New York President Dudley and San Francisco Fed President Williams.
The economic indicators released after the FOMC minutes last Wed have shown mixed signals, yet with more positive ones. New Home Sales for July reached to the highest level since 2007. Initial Jobless Claims mark the 76th straight week below 300,000, showing a strengthening in the labour market. Durable Goods Orders and Core Durable Goods Orders for July both reached a 6-month high. However, Manufacturing PMI, Services PMI, and Existing Home Sales were less than the previous figures.
The dollar index (DXY) rallied yesterday, helped by the positive Durable and Core Durable Goods Orders figures. It tested the major resistance at 94.73 then pulled back. This morning it tested the support level at 94.50 then bounced off. The 4 hourly KD indicator is at a low level, suggesting a rebound.
Keep an eye on the US economic indicators and Yellen's speech to be released later, as it will influence the market sentiment and the strength of the dollar.
With positive readings or hawkish comments, DXY will likely to test the resistance at 94.73 again. The next resistance level is at 95.00. While lower-than-expected figures or dovish comments, will likely break the downside support line at 94.50. The next support level is 94.35.
Also we get a series of economic figures out of the US, to be released at 12:30 GMT on Monday 29th Aug, including PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure) (YoY and MoM), Core PCE (YoY and MoM), Personal Income (MoM) and Personal Spending figures for July.

EUROCONTROL stated it expected approximately 24,500 flights to operate in European airspace on 09-May-2010, approximately 500 less than usual. There were 22,424 flights on 08-May-2010, approximately 200 less than usual. On 09-May-2010, "renewed and more intensive ash eruptions" were substantially affecting European airspace, in particular between the ground and 20,000 ft. Airports in the north and centre of Portugal were affected, as were airports in north-western Spain. Airports in the Milan area were unavailable due to airspace closures until midday, and Pisa and Florence airports were also closed. EUROCONTROL stated, "during the day, it is expected that the area affected by the ash cloud will shrink and most of the airports that are currently closed are expected to open later".
The body added, "trans-Atlantic flights continue to be affected by the ash cloud. Flights are required to make significant rerouting to avoid the area of ash cloud coverage. This is leading to some delays. However significant numbers of cancellations have not occurred".

Because you must stay in presentation mode if you really want to succeed. That's the shortcut, magic pill and secret ingredient all rolled into one.
Area Code Specific MLM Leads
How many leads do you need? How fast do you need them? Contact any online mlm network marketing lead broker and they will jump at the chance to supply you. Fire up your computer and conduct a quick Google search. You'll find leads for pennies and leads for many, many dollars. How fresh are the leads? How ere they generated? And how many times have they been resold? Each factor into the price you will pay.
Another thing to consider is the cost of generating a fresh mlm lead. Advertising, hosting, and scrubbing costs all play a part. So to make a
profit lead brokers resell leads multiple times to multiple people.. So keep that in mind. Because you will be competing for this prospects time and attention.
Interested in generating your own leads?
There is an infinate amount of ways to make that happen. Think classified ads both online and offline. You can post help wanted or business
opportunity ads on Craigslist or USFree ads. Place banner ads. Invest in list exchanges. Funnel traffic to your pages via pay-per-click or
per-per-view or even video exposure. The sky is the limit. You can even outsource all of these promotional efforts if you want. Sound like a
lot of work? It is. And there is plenty of downside potential to have a negative return on investment because of the $12 to $25 per lead cost.
MLM Network Marketing Lead Generation – Best Practice
You can put the odds of success in your favor by using an attraction marketing model to supplement or entirely comprise your mlm network marketing lead generation efforts. People don't like to be sold, but we love to buy – don't we? And that is attraction marketing in a nutshell.
Play out this scene. I have a challenge. I'm looking for a solution. You happen to have a few "insider secrets" and ideas I can use to help
me out of my situation. Without cost, headache or hassle. So now I have come to know you, like you and appreciate you. And when the time is right for me to move forward in a direction you are offering… I'm all the more likely to make that happen. Wouldn't you agree? Of course.
So now stay in touch and, over time, as you continue to offer a variety of free services and helpful information… samples or whatever
I might find of interest… chance are very good we will eventually do business.
In the meantime should you need a method or a system to easily create consistently increasing numbers of online Quality leads be sure to select a system that also supports your independent growth. Follow this link to find just such a system. My Lead System Pro

He was the world champion long-distance cyclist in 1934 and at the height of his career he earned as much as $50,000 a year - a huge sum during the depths of the great Depression. "Torchy" - so named by a 1927 columnist who described the red headed youngster as the "flame haired Victoria youth [who] led the pack like a torch" - was a tireless cyclist who missed winning at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics because of three tire punctures and food poisoning. He turned pro in 1930 and finished 145 of 148 races, winning 37 of them. As well, along with his brother Doug, he was a formidable force on the grueling six-day cycling circuit that the two dominated for years.

For the news and views you might have missed
…based on our state constitution.
Here is the decision written by the Washington State Supreme Court, http://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf/897140.pdf.
Dora Taylor
Post Script:
To follow is the first post I wrote as our first article on the original Seattle Education blog in 2009. It was about charter schools when we discovered that our Broad superintendent, Marie Goodloe-Johnson, was part of a strategy to bring charter schools to Seattle by first closing successful schools in our communities, grading schools as failing and bringing in charter schools. Because of what we discovered had occurred in Chicago, New Orleans, Philadelphia and New York, we knew it was coming our way.
The basic difference between a traditional public school and a privately run charter school is that with a charter school there is complete control of the school by a private enterprise within a public school district. Although taxpayer-funded, charters operate without the same degree of public and district oversight of a standard public school. Most charter schools do not hire union teachers which means that they can demand the teacher work longer hours including weekends at the school site and pay less than union wages. Charter schools take the school district's allotment of money provided for each student within the public schools system and use it to develop their programs. In many systems, they receive that allotment without having to pay for other costs such as transportation for students to and from the school. Some states, such as Minnesota, actually allocate more than what is granted to public school students.
The money that is allocated for each student by the school district, stays with the charter school whether the student remains in that school for the entire school year or returns to a public school.
A charter school can expel any student that it doesn't believe fits within its standards or meets its level of expectation in terms of test scores. Because it is a charter school, parents and students do not benefit from the regulations and oversight that would protect them in a public school.
The reason for the emphasis on test scores is because when a state agrees to provide a charter, there are requirements for that charter school to meet or exceed a certain level of performance in terms of test scores. Therefore, charter schools establish unspoken policies in terms of the admission of ELL or IEP students as well as students who the charter school doesn't believe will meet the state standard.
Also, according to a recent study by Stanford University's Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO), charter schools do not necessarily perform any better than public schools. In fact, 37 percent performed worse. Forty-six percent demonstrated "no significant difference" from public schools. Only 17 percent of charter schools performed better than public schools.
The post eventually resonated with many in our community and the rest is history ;-)
And remember this?
Parents Across America to WA State Supt. of Public Instruction Randy Dorn: 1240 is Unconstitutional
Dec. 5, 2012
To Superintendent Dorn:
Parents Across America of Washington State, the local chapters of the national organization dedicated to the preservation of public education, has concluded that Initiative 1240 is in violation of the Washington State Constitution on multiple counts.
We therefore urge the Office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to pursue a legal challenge to I-1240, based on the following grounds:
As the extremely close election demonstrated (50.7 – 49.3%, despite the enormous financial advantage of the "Yes" campaign, which outspent both "No" campaigns by a margin of 17-1), clearly charter schools remain a divisive, controversial and unpopular concept in Washington State. (See:http://vote.wa.gov/results/current/Initiative-Measure-No-1240-Concerns-creation-of-a-public-charter-school-system.html Also: Map of votes for/against I-1240
Parents Across America of Washington finds I-1240 to be an extremely flawed, unconstitutional and undemocratic proposal which circumvents genuine public oversight, and is full of troubling loopholes and opportunities to divert public funding away from our existing schools to private enterprises for proposed outcomes that statistically are no better than existing public schools 83 percent of the time (See: CREDO Report by Stanford University's Center for Research on Education Outcomes:http://credo.stanford.edu/reports/National_Release.pdf).
Therefore, as parents with children in Washington State public schools who will be affected by this initiative, and as supporters of public education, we urge OSPI to legally challenge 1240.

Early treatment of a sprained ankle can help to speed recovery and minimize the symptoms. Here are a few simple treatment steps to follow should you sustain a sprained ankle. The initial steps are based on "R.I.C.E." treatment of an acute injury. This stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. As the initial pain and swelling begin to subside, more aggressive rehabilitation can begin to ensure full recovery.

Here's How:

Protect the Injured Ankle
This is quite simple, but amazingly common for people to forget. Don't walk on the sprained ankle, and protect it from further contact by immobilizing with a splint or brace. Allowing the injured ankle to rest can help to prevent further injury to the joint and also limit the amount of swelling and inflammation that occurs around the joint. The less swelling and inflammation that occurs, the quicker you can progress to the next phases of rehab. By not protecting the joint, you can not only delay the start of recovery but also make those early phases longer and more difficult.

Rest
Take a few days off of your feet. You don't have to be inactive, but be sure the ankle is being rested. Resting means different things depending on the severity of the injury. One of the easiest ways to rest the ankle, yet still move around, is to use crutches for a few days. This takes all of the pressure and stress off of the injured joint and can allow swelling to subside. While it is not necessary, and likely not even best to immobilize the joint, any activity should be cautions and limited. Possible exercises you can do may include swimming or riding a stationary bicycle.

Ice
This can be done several times a day for 15-20 minutes. This will keep the swelling to a minimum and can be effective to control pain around the joint. Most people focus their icing efforts on the first few days after the injury while the body is going through the inflammatory stages of healing. After that first 48 hours, icing is probably less important, but can still be an effective tool to use to help control pain around the joint. Do not ice for more than 20 minutes, it could do more damage than good.

Compression
This does not have to be all of the time, but particularly when your foot is not elevated it would be advisable. A simple Ace wrap is fine for light compression. The compression can help limit the amount of fluid that accumulates in the soft-tissues surrounding the ankle joint. By limiting this swelling, ankle motion will be preserved, and pain control improved.

Elevate
This will also help to minimize the swelling that takes place. A few pillows under the ankle should be fine to get the leg up enough while keeping the injured limb comfortable. Keep in mind it is important to have the ankle above the level of your torso, so it is not really possible to elevate your leg from a seated position. If you really want to elevate the ankle, you're going to have to lie down!

Get Professional Help
While most ankle injuries are simple and heal naturally over a short time, some injuries are more severe and can necessitate more aggressive treatment. If there is any question about the severity of your ankle injury, a medical professional can help you determine if anything further needs to be done. Even with typical ankle sprains, there can be damage and injury to tendons, cartilage, and nerves that may complicate and prolong your treatment.

Begin Ankle Rehab
To ensure a full recovery, you will have to regain full mobility, strength, and balance with the injured ankle joint. Working with a therapist, athletic trainer or personal fitness coach can help you ensure you are taking the right approach to ankle rehabilitation. Keep in mind, rehab is not only important to recovery from your injury, but it is essential to help prevent recurrent injuries to that ankle.

Tips:

Never ice for more than 20 minutes.
Many people think the more the better, but this is not true! Maximum ice time should be 20 minutes every few hours.

Get creative with icing your sprained ankle.
A bag of frozen corn or peas makes a great ice pack -- and it's both reusable and edible.

Compression bandages should be snug, not tight.
If too tight, your circulation will be impaired, and the healing process slowed.

Selfies: The Old, The Brave, The Strange
They're not going to disappear, the self-shots or selfies. No matter how much photographers may wish it, no matter how silly, outrageous or narcissistic, society, young and old, is fascinated by images of themselves in all situations. Social history, in the form of a self-portrait caught on the spur of the moment, is being re-written by ordinary people.
Photo Source: Ulysess Thirty One – Creative Commons
And, let's be honest, some of the images we get to see, uploaded to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or wherever, tell a story many of us would love to hear, even if we don't necessarily wish to experience the moment ourselves.
What was happening in Brixton, London, as this young man captured himself and his surroundings? A peaceful demonstration? Market day in the suburbs?
Photo Source: Dave Bloggs – Creative Commons
Why did this couple decide to take the cheap way out and save on their wedding photographer?
Photo Source: Michele M.F. – Creative Commons
And who is he? Someone on the prowl to take selfies for those without their own cell phone? They used to offer food for the pigeons but, now that feeding has been banned in many cities in Europe, other means of earning a living have to be found. Why not offer yourself as a professional selfie-photographer?
Photo Source: Alan Cleaver – Creative Commons
But for those who criticize this new trend, this stretching and craning and pouting at a small lens held as far away as possible to get just the right shot, a glimpse back to years gone by. Not the first selfie by any means, but a reminder that there is nothing new under the sun, and these could be the grandparents of someone today, standing in their garden, capturing themselves for future generations.
- Viktoria Michaelis.

Who first invented the washing machine, and at what date?
- print Print
- list Cite
Washing and wringing machines as they were widely called back in the early 17th century, probably appeared before the 1600's in some form, but the first patent issues for such a device was awarded in England in 1691. Although I haven't been able to find the name on the patent, and thus give you the inventor's identity, there are some other milestones in the development of the modern washing machine that could also contend for the title since it depends on what you consider a true washing machine.
A sketch of a hand powered device appeared in the 1752 of "The Gentleman's Magazine" a British publication, again with no known designer. In Germany, Jacob Schaffer published a design in 1767, which was the earliest name I could track down connected to the device.
If you consider a washing machine to be a device with a rotating drum, like a modern top-loader, than the first recorded device was invented in England in 1782 by Henry Sidgier. This seems to be the first mass-marketed machine, as it was sold around England as early as the 1790's.
A "dryer" or ringer which squeezed water out like a primitive spin cycle was devised in 1862 by Richard Lansdale. If you consider a washing machine to be a device that cleans clothes and then spins the excess water out of them, then this would be the earliest known machine.

It just so happened that this one time I was in a time crunch where I couldn't leave the car running and HAD to pull it in and shut it off (after pulling it out and shutting it off). So, I guess I half anticipated it happening, but as usual, hoped for the best. Of course, the best was not to be found and it wouldn't restart. I exchanged $12.76 with the fine folks at my FLAPS for a set of 103's and the car was alive again. Oh well, the NGK's looked bad enough that it was time for new ones anyway. As a side note: After seeing the carbon on the plugs I thought this would be a good time for the infamous suck-it-through-a-vacuum-hose Sea-Foam treatmeant. First off, I used the larger of the two ports up by the throttle body and a chunck of 3/8" hose and it sucks it up FAST. The can says to use a 1/3 of a can....well, it sucked down a 1/2 can before I could even pull the hose out of the can to check. HOLY SMOKE SHOW BATMAN! WOW!

Unloaded Positions
Earlier today I've decided to completely close out my call-positions as I've holding calls since 11/09/2016 @ 27.44. After the entry on 11/09/2016, holding for few months were little tricky as it came down to retest 27.30ish as new support–I thought as long as we hold 26.90-27.30 we have high probability of bouncing back up. Once it cleared 29.50ish on 12/08/2016, I think at that moment I knew EBAY was ready to thrive; I even held my full call-positions through the ER on 1/25/2017 as I've tweeted out–obviously no one knows the ER outcome, but I was just pretty confident with overall trend perspective. On the ER day, investors react in a positive way and it worked out for my favor, but we did see about a week and half of consolidation above the "ER Gap" area before it launched higher again. From that point on, it's just enjoying the gain and letting it be.
My original target was about 36-37 on EBAY, but with overbought sentiment we are dealing with in the overall market and because I am still holding many positions on the equities, I felt the need to start managing risk and so I trimmed some of my positions including BSX (which I've completely closed out BSX calls today as well). If it continues higher I have no problem letting it go as I am very satisfied with the gain since 27.44, but in the event that we pullback to about 30-31ish I will be buying that dip for the next target of 37ish.
