Isn't it safe to say that when we feel we are losing control, we often stand up?
If we get excited with anticipation—like at a ball game—we stand up. I don't know about you, but when I worry, I stand up and pace. If I'm waiting, I stand up and sit down, stand up and sit down.
And if the guy in front of me stands up to see, so do I. There are occasions when I stand up to make my point, as well as times when I stand up to defend my point.
If I were to ask you to enumerate what the Apostle John saw in his revelation about heaven, your list would be long. And if we were to all get together later to decide which of the listed things was most important, I think we could conclude that the answer is in Revelation 4:2: "[I saw] a throne in heaven, and One sitting on the throne."
Notice! God is sitting down.
Control. Anticipation. Worry. Waiting. Vision. Power. Authority. All of these—and more—are issues surrounding God and His people. And yet, He is seated on His throne.
It may feel like I am out of control, but God is not threatened by ominous circumstances. I don't find any verses in the Scriptures that talk of Him wringing His hands or getting up to go get an antacid. It would really surprise me to find out that He has chewed off one of His fingernails.
I cannot picture Him saying, "Well, I never thought about that." Or, "Uh-oh." And I certainly don't see Him jumping up and saying, "Don't they know who I am?" Or, "Oh, no!"
He is secure enough, and confident enough, and big enough, and powerful enough to keep His seat…no matter what. And it isn't that He doesn't care. He cares immensely, as is evidenced by Calvary.
Next, I have some thoughts about God standing up…

Salmonfly Aftermath
Spring is rolling into summer quickly on the Lower Deschutes River and we are feeling the HEAT in Maupin right now. We are several weeks ahead of schedule on the bug program. The salmonflies and golden stones have come and gone. We caught our first trout on stones down stream from Maupin (but above Sherar's) at the end of April. Our first trout on salmonflies from Warm Springs to Trout Creek came on May 3! This year's hatch was good despite the usual atomic bomb of fishing pressure that goes off.
With the recent blast of heat the caddis have made their presence known to the trout. Yellow Sallies have been on the menu as well. We have been spending our guide days on all parts of the river from Warm Springs to the mouth, hunting for happy trout and the perfect hatch. The relative slack in crowds combined with a huge biomass of food makes for a pleasant day of solitude and plenty of big fish sight casting opportunities.
For the next month we will be focused purely on trout fishing the Deschutes. There are a few days open late in June and early July if you feel the itch to hunt trout with us (or is that poison ivy?!). Life is good on the Deschutes... summer time and the living is easy!

LG 8kg Front Load Washing Machine
Front Load Washer
Turbo Clean® uses a short burst of water spray from a nozzle located at the front of the drum. This helps deliver quicker wash times by reducing the number of rinse cycles. The LG front load washer lets you 'Pause' the wash cycle to 'Add Items'. Simply press the 'Add Item' or hold the 'Start/Pause' button for 3 seconds so extra items of missed clothing can be included in the wash up until the spin cycle. Door release is dependent on internal water temperature and wash cycle selected. LG washers use a combination of 6 motions, based on hand-washing, to wash your clothes. Simply choose a cycle and your machine selects the best combination of washing motions to give you an outstanding wash, whilst also caring for your clothes. The LG direct drive motor with inverter control delivers a reliable, quiet and durable mechanism with less moving parts than the traditional belt and pulley system - that's why you get a 10 Year Parts Warranty on the LG Direct Drive Motor. Smart ThinQ® technology incorporates intelligent features with this front load washer that let you remotely start or monitor your wash progress. You can also track energy consumption, diagnose and troubleshoot issues and download additional wash cycles.

The sweet spotApril 29th, 2012
To expand on the previous post, a good way to describe the one path is 'the sweet spot.'
You know what the sweet spot is. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, it is "The place on a bat, club, racket, or paddle, where it is most effective to hit a ball."
Wikipedia has a more extended definition:
"A sweet spot is a place where a combination of factors results in a maximum response for a given amount of effort. In tennis, baseball, or cricket, a given swing will result in a more powerful hit if the ball strikes the racquet or bat on the latter's sweet spot."
In guitar playing, the 'sweet spot' is where everything is working optimally, where your hands feel perfectly right, and you're able to play with maximum ease and comfort.
The difficulty, as I pointed out in the last post, is how do you know when you have found the sweet spot?
The only way to tell is with results. (And not how great your hands look, not how straight your wrist is, not how much follow-through you have…)
If you're playing well, if you're able to do everything you want to do and do it in front of an audience, that's a good sign you've probably found that sweet spot.
Conversely, if playing feels hard, if something doesn't feel right, if you lack security and accuracy in your fingers, if you have a hard time playing even a simple piece in front of people, that's a sign you probably haven't found it.
Perhaps the worst thing you can do is try to get someone else to tell you where your playing sweet spot should be.
You know how, when you go to sleep, it sometimes takes a little while to find that optimum position where you feel completely at ease and comfortable and able to drift off? And you'll have to try a few different positions before you find it?
Well, you wouldn't ask someone to show you what that ideal sleeping position should be for you, why would you ask someone else to show you what your ideal playing position should be?

Talia's Room: A space to call her own.
Talia wanted a full size bed and since her room was so narrow, we placed it next to the window. To match Talia's rug and white walls, we juxtaposed a white finish with a deep purple that truly makes this space unique. The accented pieces can be easily replaced as the child's tastes evolve, greatly increasing its longevity.
Our hanging tray serves as a night table and Talia uses it to place a night light so that she's able to read before bed time.
This version of our floating desk was specifically designed for an older child. It is a spacious desk perfect for the modern teen who uses a computer, needs space for creativity and has numerous school obligations. Open upper shelves above allow for easy access to books and papers while keeping clutter minimal. Our magnetic panel allows Talia to display notes and pictures personalizing her space even more.
For avid reader Talia, we placed two storage cabinets in the corner to hold her growing library. We built open upper shelves above for books and toys she'd like to display while clutter is easily concealed behind closed doors below.
We wanted to maximize storage in Talia's room. So beneath her full bed, we built drawers which is equivalent to the capacity of a dresser.
The featured products in this room are a customized version of our Marino Full Bed, Storage drawers, and Modulor Storage.

Pregnant women, although in a more delicate condition, can receive a number of great benefits from chiropractic care. Women who are looking for holistic care from their doctors can receive both prenatal and postnatal care and take advantage of a number of great benefits, with hardly any risks for side effects.
Restoring Pelvic Balance
Pregnant women often have issues with their pelvic balance. Many women experience pelvic changes during their pregnancy. When the pelvis is not in line, it can restrict the amount of room that the developing baby has. Chiropractors can adjust the pelvic to prevent this issue, also known as intrauterine constraint. This can help lessen the chances of having breeched babies or needing a cesarean delivery.
Restoring Poor Posture
Many women have issues with back pain during pregnancy due to the extra weight they must carry in the front of their body. The protruding abdomen can increase the curve in the back and cause pain and posture issues. Chiropractors can restore proper posture, and prevent the stress of pregnancy on the body from causing long-term pain and posture issues.
Controlling Pregnancy Symptoms
Chiropractic care has been shown to reduce some of the uncomfortable symptoms associated with pregnancy. Regular chiropractic care can help women maintain their health during pregnancy, relieve joint and neck pain and control the symptoms of nausea.
Reducing Labor and Delivery Time
Since women who receive regular chiropractic care are taking care of their nervous system, many have found their bodies are better prepared to handle the childbirth process. When the nervous system is working properly, the whole body is working as it should be. With this in mind, many women who receive chiropractic care during pregnancy have shorter labor and delivery times.
The body undergoes a number of changes during pregnancy. This can leave any woman feeling uncomfortable as her body handles the physical and hormonal changes that pregnancy brings. Of course, many women are also worried about the health and safety of their baby during this important developmental time. In order to take the best care possible of both mom and baby, it is important to take care of the body with regular chiropractic care.
Chiropractors are highly trained to gently provide adjustments for women who are pregnant. Many chiropractors not only have special techniques to help keep moms safe and comfortable during adjustments, but tools such as pregnancy pillows to help them as well. Pregnant moms who take the time to visit a chiropractor during their pregnancy will find that their overall pregnancy can be more comfortable and enjoyable as they keep their bodies — and their babies — healthy.

Remember the Bed Bug Resources (and Public Service Announcements) Michigan was using to inform citizens about bed bugs?
Now there's a Michigan Manual for the Prevention and Control of Bed Bugs, developed by the Michigan Department of Community Health and the Michigan Bed Bug Working Group, and you can download it here.
I have run through it fairly quickly and was impressed by the range of information and advice provided.
Bravo to Michigan for responding to this concern, which is surely plaguing many in the state.
Recent articles such as this one from a Detroit news station, about tenants battling bedbugs in the Pontiac Carriage Circle building in Pontiac, MI — article which "reassures" readers that "the building has been fumigated and 'bug bombed'" — suggest that there is a serious lack of awareness about how to deal with this problem appropriately and effectively.
(Note: bug bombs and foggers are a bad idea where bedbugs are concerned, as the new manual makes clear.)

Coinciding with the update theme, here is, yes, you guessed it, another update. Crimson Bones was a popular show I did on Brutal Existence Radio before the station closed, and many people enjoyed the adventures of Captain Midnight Mosh. He has made guest appearances on various episodes of The Wastelands, including a recent podcast, but as of yet, no return to a dedicated show.
The problem I'm facing is whether I can somehow fit this into my schedule, so I'll outline a few possible ideas:
A 1hr edition.
Or sometimes using the first hr of The Wastelands for Crimson Bones.
Stay tuned to the site for future updates. 1.

Nine-year-old girl, McKenzie Adams has died by suicide after being bullied by her classmates.
McKenzie, a fourth grade student had just been transferred to her current school because she had been bullied at her former school. Sadly, she severally told her teachers and her assistant principal that she was being bullied.
Unfortunately, few days ago, McKenzie's body was found by her grandmother after she hung herself. According to family members, McKenzie had been harassed since the beginning of the school year. They feel that the school system failed their daughter.
Her mother explained that much of the bullying came because of her friendship with a white boy.
"Part of it could have been because she rode to school with a white family. And a lot of it was race, some of the student bullies would say to her 'why you riding with white people you're black, you're ugly. You should just die'," she told CBS42
However, McKenzie's school say they cant comment on the story but are working with the police to investigate the matter.

At 9, I wish she had a relationship with her guardians where she could talk about anything. I wish the guardians made room for that.
9 year? Suicide? Hmmmmmm! It's terrible.
This is so sad😢

Readers share their views on taxes, voting and more.
Sales tax yes, property tax no
Here is advice for the legislators in the special session on property tax relief. Go back to Marco Rubio's original proposition. End property taxes in favor of a sales tax increase.
It is the only fair and simple system that even a judge or a voter can understand. Quit pandering to special interests who want a cap here and a loophole there. Just do it. It's what the people want.
It's simple math. Someone in Tallahassee has the total amount of property tax taken in each year. Let's call it "P." And, someone knows the total amount of sales tax taken in each year. Let's call it "S." Just raise the sales tax by whatever amount "A" that it takes to equal "P." Thus, SxA=P.
It's simple, and original thinking was that it would only be 2.5 cents. It's the only fair proposal. All property owners will no longer be taxed. All the people in Florida will pay the same sales tax. Shouldn't all the people help pay for their government instead of just primarily the ones who own property?
It also eliminates the need for a tax assessor's office. No more need for a convoluted mess like appraisals, homestead exemptions, or Save Our Homes. But, best of all, by eliminating hundreds of dollars per month in escalating property taxes, more people will be able to afford the American Dream�their own home.
Ben Butler,
Don't subsidize Wal-Mart with my utility money
For a host of reasons, I choose not to shop at Wal-Mart. But now I find, even though I chose to never give Wal-Mart one dime, I am being forced by my city commissioners and GRU to subsidize a solar-panel system that will cut Wal-Mart's electric bill in half.
And worse, this is considered an incentive to Wal-Mart? This is the company whose development and encroachment has been repeatedly, albeit unsuccessfully, resisted by community after community. A retailer that keeps most of its employees benefit free by limiting their hours at minimum wage salaries and sends its multi-million dollar profits back to the Walton family in Arkansas, is now going to be subsidized by me via a 5-cent per month tax on my electric bill.
I can't afford a solar-panel system, so why should I foot the bill for Wal-Mart's? I want this 5-cent tax itemized on my bill as the Wal-Mart incentive subsidy.
And now that our City Commission has set this precedent, what shall I expect going forward? Will there be additional 5-cent subsidies on my GRU bill for more businesses for whom GRU and the city commissioners want to provide incentives? How long will I pay this nickel per month?
I think our city commissioners could make much better use of their time figuring out how to deal with the existing traffic tangles, or finding ways to subsidize new roads in our community before agreeing to have me subsidize additional development and growth of Wal-Mart.
Honestly, you have all seen the bumper sticker, but for me it was never more applicable. If you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention.
Janet K. Kearney,
Voting can't be forced
In our elections, a voter is permitted to vote for "none of the above" by not selecting any candidate or yes-no choice in any contest. This is a proper action, I believe, when the voter feels unable to make an informed choice.
The same principle permits any registered voter not to vote in any election whose outcome holds so little promise that the voter has made no effort to decide on which side of an issue her interest, or the public interests at large, lie. Nor is there any legal obligation to register as a citizen voter.
George Barnett's suggestion (Voice, Oct. 23) that "all eligible but non-voting citizens" should be financially penalized for not voting would only encourage more citizens not to register, thereby becoming ineligible and not subject to penalty.
To encourage better collective choices by way of elections, a better penalty would be to void the non-voting voter's registration for the next election. Whoever is unwilling to go to the polls and cast a vote does not deserve the voting privilege.
Barnett suggests that more voters casting ballots, under threat of penalty, even if uninformed, would overcome lobbyists' current pernicious influence. But I believe we would see the special interests quickly shift their attention to the general public (the expanded electorate).
Our hopes for community well-being and a just society through representative democracy rest on the participation of informed voters thoughtfully engaged in public issues. Compelling citizens to vote by threat of financial punishment would only deliver the votes of indifferent or doctrinaire voters to the mass-media lobbyists.
Phillip Martin,
Jeb's bad water legacy
In response to Terry Brant's letter of Oct. 24 concerning the St. Johns River Water Management District's plan to pump water south from the Ocklawaha, St. Johns River, and Withlacoochee River to Central and South Florida:
It should have come as no surprise that the remnant of former Gov. Jeb Bush's administration would once again raise its ugly head to make a last gasp attempt at looting North Florida water resources to make Central and South Florida developers rich.
The overwhelming majority of water board members in all the five districts in Florida were appointed by Bush. They serve four-year terms whose expiration dates are rapidly approaching. So they must act quickly if they wish to pull off the biggest water ripoff in Florida history.
Remember a few years back when the Florida Council of 100 floated the idea of consolidating all the water districts in Tallahassee so that the governor could pump the Suwannee south? This is the same group of water district board members who were put in place by Bush to make that happen. Now that they are almost out of power, they are in a hurry to serve their true masters, the developers in Central and South Florida, Jeb's business pals.
So where is the surprise?
Mike Segal,
I opened a floodgate
I have never supported Bush's dirty little illegal war. But after hearing about the poor treatment of the wounded, I started contributing to agencies that help them. I can't believe what a floodgate that opened!
Evidently my name was sold to every organization out there that supports Bush and his war. I even got solicitations from so-called generals. I really resent getting stacks of mail of this nature. My only intention was to help the troops that Bush has put in harm's way.
I only want this war to end and Bush out of office.
Virginia Hoyt,
Putting war over children
U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns voted against health care for millions of children. Stearns will face political consequences for his vote. It seems we have all the money for the war in Iraq but we can't afford health care in our own nation to take care of America's sick children

Why Bumble Used a Food Truck for its Latest Experiential Event
As most Millennials know, mobile app dating is tough. "Catfishing," or pretending to be someone you're not, is a pretty big occurrence across Tinder and Bumble alike. Bumble is a dating app which requires women to message matched men first. Bumble, itself, recently released an anti-catfish mobile app feature. To promote itself, the Austin-based tech company created a New York airstream food truck.
It served fish tacos, promoting its new photo verification feature capable of weeding out phony Bumble accounts. The "catfish" slang term was created and popularized back in 2010 during a documentary. Now, it's been implemented into the mobile app's photo verification feature to screen out the prevalent fake accounts.
The feature makes users snap a selfie in highly specific poses, so as to make sure the user isn't using another's pre-existing photos from Facebook, Instagram or another visual-based website. Soon, Bumble will extend into the friend networking world—becoming much more than a dating app. Photo verification might not be the most alluring feature, but Bumble's idea creators have sustained a positive marketing campaign pinned to the app's classier approach to mobile dating.
As for the food truck, it existed to celebrate the app's newest feature. After all, the photo verification feature was created in a playful way—giving users control of their identity verification without necessarily breaking down the app's intrigue. Called "The Great Catch" promotion, Bumble's food truck promotion handed out free catfish-centric dishes. Aside from the catfish tacos, the truck had catfish sliders, roasted squash salad and honey-sweetened Arnold Palmer which was popularized through "Top Chef's" Sam Talbot—a Brooklyn contestant.
Marketing for a mobile app is tough, but Bumble's Director of Marketing, Chelsea Maclin, reportedly created the campaign to invite newcomers with open arms while celebrating its current users. The app's huge user base, stationed in New York, let various Bumble brand ambassadors verify their mobile devices while waiting for grub. These ambassadors could then explain how Bumble—and the offshoot, Bumble BFF—worked. They walked attendees through the app's download, setup and use. Meanwhile, the app's preexisting users were invited to learn more about the app's features.
The photo verification feature, of course, was at the centerfold. Bumble users were given branded giveaways, including pins, hats and t-shirts. Then, they were allowed to participate in the brand's many on-site photo booth experiences. No experiential event is complete without a conference. Thus, Bumble invited its key influencers and press people to take part in The Great Catch. They were given yellow tackle boxes—branded, of course—each packed with anti-catfishing messages and swag.
Bumble is an engaging experience, and it was deserving of a campaign capable of touching the catfish topic lightly while also recognizing the app feature's important use. Because Bumble's goal is to help users create meaningful relationships, much of the experiential event was created to connect with the app's users on a personal level. Online safety, accountability and freedom can be a touchy subject—but Bumble covered it with grace.

The Earth's Sun is an average-sized star, with a diameter of approximately 1.4 million kilometers and a mass of about 1.989 x 10^30 kilograms. The Sun has existed for about 5 billion years and has enough fuel to last for another 4.5 billion years, according to Quantrek.
Some stars are much larger than the sun. For example, Rigel is a blue supergiant, located in the constellation Orion, that is about 62 times larger than Earth's Sun. Even larger is the star Betelgeuse, which is a red giant star about 1,000 times the size of the Sun, according to Universe Today. Other stars are much smaller than the Sun, such as Proxima Centauri, which is only about 14 percent of the Sun's size.

Do not read this story straight through from beginning to end. These web pages contain many different adventures you may have as U.S. president Donald Trump. From time to time as you read along, you will be asked to make a choice. Your choice may lead to disaster, a worse disaster, or—theoretically—middling success.
The adventures you have will be the result of your choices. After you make a choice, follow the instructions and see what happens.
Be careful! As the president of the United States, your choices have the potential to affect the entire planet. (And not in the abstract "a butterfly flapping its wings in China" sense. We mean the "your choices can burn the world in nuclear fire" sense.)
Good Luck!
Page 1
The date is January 20, 2017, and you have just been inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States.
You're sitting in the Oval Office and thinking about what a dump it is compared to Trump Tower. There is almost no gold or white marble at all. You resolve to fix this quickly, because if there's one thing that says "This country is great again," it's having the elite live in gold-and-marble palaces. You're making a mental note to pass a law or something to make the White House gold when your chief-of-staff Reince Priebus walks in.
"Mr. President," says Reince, "We've got a emerging situation in the Baltics. Secretary of Defense Mattis would like to brief you immediately."
Just then, the red phone at the corner of your desk starts ringing. It's the hotline to the Kremlin! Vladimir Putin must be calling to congratulate you. That guy sure loves to chat!
Boy, this job already feels like a lot of work. What will you do?
- If you tweet "Many people are saying #TrumpInaugural was best in U.S. history. Much better than failed, sickly William Henry Harrison's. Sad!", turn to page 7.

More recent approaches to web log data representation aim to capture the user navigational patterns with respect to the overall structure of the web site. One such representation is tree-structured log files which is the focus of this work. Most existing methods for analyzing such data are based on the use of frequent subtree mining techniques to extract frequent user activity and navigational paths. In this paper we evaluate the use of other standard data mining techniques enabled by a recently proposed structure preserving flat data representation for tree-structured data. The initially proposed framework was adjusted to better suit the web log mining task. Experimental evaluation is performed on two real world web log datasets and comparisons are made with an existing state-of-the art classifier for tree-structured data. The results show the great potential of the method in enabling the application of a wider range of data mining/analysis techniques to tree-structured web log data.

Delta is having their own Latin & South America Sale. Good for them – we can do BETTER! We post the best deals and cheaper Mileage Runs than Delta will ever give you as their "Special Sales". Here is a great deal to Athens, Greece! That's right, the birth of the Olympics, Athens, the home of The Acropolis and so much more! Athens averages 56°F in December, so for many of you in the north that's a big improvement. I found this sweet itinerary for you. I know many of you are in a panic of how to get enough Delta MQM's before the year ends. There are only a few days left; REALLY! And you know you do not want to be fighting the crowds at the end of the year. Looking at some of the seatmaps, I think you will do better going across the Atlantic than you would facing the domestic crowds on holiday travel and Mileage Runs! I am putting this out there as the CPM cost (5.9) is really good for Europe around the Holidays. It is relatively easy for most Delta flyers to re-position to New York to take advantage of a whole lot of Medallion Qualification Miles (MQM's). The US Dollar is strong in Greece, and they operate on the Euro, which at the time of this posting was 1 Euro to 1.06 US Dollars. Or, 1 US Dollar is worth .95 Euros. This is historically a great bargain and the US Dollar is up 18% over the same time a year ago. As a weekend +1 day (Monday) run, it is very reasonable at 5.9 Cents Per Mile (CPM) US passengers visiting Greece are required to have a US Passport. No Visa is required. This destination is definitely in my sights in the near future! There are very few dates open in December for this run, although the cheapest date is departing La Guardia (LGA) Saturday, December 5th, arrive Athens (ATH) on Sunday evening have a night stopover before departing for your return on Monday morning, December 7th and arrive back in New York (LGA) that same evening.

so quick bright things
In Spanish translations that have the verve and intelligence of the original, Alicia Partnoy deftly conveys Gail Wronsky's brilliant riff on masks and mutability, on doubles and the doubling of desire. To "liberate dragonflies from their linguistic shrines," So Quick Bright Things meditates and mediates upon being and identity, how we couple, how we evaporate, how we peer "through the cracks in (the)...mask for/ a glimpse of something...infinite." Taking its title from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Wronsky's Oberon and Titania are hip with self-awareness and wry with lyric sadness that "what they were not...was magical." Wronsky's "fairyland" which mingles Bachelard, Peter Quince, Proust, naturally and without a stretch of artificial over-reaching, is also all too real; there's "Nothing in the world but rain and rags and/ their two beings rotating, and to touch that reality is to "Rub it. / Rub it till it tears you apart." Like the best metaphysical poets, Wronsky's work sprite-like inhabits a realm where "Sometimes airy nothing escapes/unscathed, floats under the radar/...doubling all of us into eternity," and the body, Puck-like, is never forgotten.
—Rebecca Seiferle
All writing is also an act of deep reading. Gail Wronsky's new collection, So Quick Bright Things, intimately recalibrates A Midsummer Night's Dream in order to reveal the force of the marvelous within our ordinary, daily lives, as well as the darkness that surrounds and penetrates each of our dreams. Disjunctive yet cohesive, mythic yet immediate, surreal yet inevitable, this sequence dismantles the clichés of male/female relations along with the presumptions of contemporary poetic discourse. Titania, Queen of Fairyland, is the presiding yet often troubled presence in this volume, which can be read as a brilliant, sobering, and staggeringly inventive book-length ars poetica. Once again, Gail Wronsky proves she has no equal in reckoning our age's cultural and sexual debris.
—David St. John
Shakespeare, perhaps the greatest spiritual hermaphrodite in human history, would love this book. Gail Wronsky is an essential American poet.

Ilana Wiles is not a good mother. She's not a bad mother either. Like most of us, she's normal. From the creator of the wildly popular blog Mommy Shorts comes Ilana Wiles's first humor book on remarkably average parenting. If you want solid advice about raising kids, this book is not for you. If you want to wallow in your own misery about how having kids is AWFUL, this book is not for you. This book pays homage to the every-parent and suggests that they are the people having the best child-rearing experience of all. Using Wiles's signature infographics and photographs to illustrate her personal and hilarious essays on motherhood, the book is an honest guide that celebrates the fun of being a mom.
Ilana joins us for a reading and signing. If you're also a remarkably average mom or dad join us for a hilarious evening and some great drink specials. Because we all know the little ones can make you need a cocktail (or two).

Military & Veterans Collaborative Roundtables
As part of its Warrior, Veteran and Family Support National Collaborative, Code of Support Foundation has partnered with EY, a global consulting firm to bring organizations from across the country together with the goal of enhancing collaborative efforts to help support service members, veterans and their families.
On February 27th, Code of Support held it's second meeting to identify existing collaboratives around the U.S. and discuss the different approaches taken by each effort. As part of this conversation, Code of Support unveiled its future plans for the Virtual WVFSN Network, a cloud-based software program that allows local-service providers to better access and leverage national resources. The technology platform enables case workers to provide more comprehensive support for veterans and family members in need.
If you would like more detailed information on how Code of Support Foundation is working to break down stove-pipes and build more effective collaboration across the veterans support space, please read the executive summary from our first roundtable discussion in September 2014. The summary from our latest meeting will also be released in the coming weeks.

Pizza Pizza Dipping Sauces
Another "first" of their kind in grocery; it was Pizza Pizza that introduced Canadians to the idea of dipping their pizza slices into sauces, with the launch of its signature Creamy Garlic & Cheddar Jalapeño dips. Once the ritual was established, BrandFusion orchestrated the extension of the products into grocery, and in-so doing created a line of deli products with a cult-like following. Today, the Pizza Pizza dipping sauces are listed province wide in most major grocers, and often move more units per store than virtually all other comparable deli products.

"The Son of man shall come in his glory … And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: … And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left." — Matthew 25:31-32a,33
Sweet, loving Jesus had a surprising amount to say about Judgment. Several things are consistent:
- Jesus is returning.
- Everyone will stand before him (whether they had believed in him or not).
- Judgment will be based on each person's actions.
"I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." — Revelation 20:12
- A person's actions come from who they are:
- Notice the response of both in Jesus story was the same.
"Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison" — Matthew 25:37 & 44
They were just living out what they were, the goats being selfish and the sheep being selfless.
Who can, honestly, say their actions have been consistently selfless? No matter what good things I try to do, the "Old Goat" in me keeps ruining it.
The good news ("Gospel") is that the old goat can die and Jesus, the lamb of God (John 1:29), can live in his place.
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." — Galatians 2:20

Portola Valley, CAHome Sitemap Contact
2017 Portola Road Resurfacing Project
Notice of Street Resurfacing June 12 – July 31, 2017
*Added road section of Portola Road from July 13 – August 18, 2017
*Traffic Stripes / Paint will be applied August 7 - August 8, 2017
The Town of Portola Valley will be performing street resurfacing on portions of the below listed streets. This project will consist of applying surface seals to the road surface. Work is scheduled to take place between June 12 and August 18, 2017, weather permitting. The repairs will include grinding worn areas, crack sealing, a surface seal treatment, and repainting traffic markings.
Traffic will have limited access through these streets during the street resurfacing process. Traffic controls within the construction area will be in place. Normal construction hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Two days prior to construction, "No Parking" and "Tow-away" signs will be posted with the effective time and date. Roads will be reopened to full traffic and parking at the end of each working day; however, during the construction period, loose gravel and an uneven pavement surface will result from removing the surface asphalt. For the entire project, we estimate it will take 2 weeks to repair damaged pavement sections, 1 week to remove traffic striping, 1 week to apply surface seals, and 1 week to repaint traffic markings. To maintain competitive prices, the contractor, G. Bortolotto & Co., Inc. is allowed to schedule the work in a cost effective manner which may result in a time lag between repair, required curing times, and resurfacing.
We are aware there will be residents and businesses who will be inconvenienced by the street resurfacing work and we ask for your cooperation and understanding. This improvement will result in an improved street that will serve the area for many years.
If you have any questions about the street resurfacing project, please call 650-851-1700 x 200 or email at email@example.com. The Towns onsite construction inspector is Kent Edwards and can be reached at cell phone 831-332-5702.

In the slurry seal process, there can be material cure times of up to 1 week between the asphalt repair process and the application of the surface slurry seal top coat.
* The final coat requires 4-5 hours of cure time weather permitting before touching. Please plan travel and schedule arrangements accordingly.
* Door hangers will be passed out as a reminder 48 hours in advance
* Pot hole/base repairs will be performed in advance of the surface seal. Expect minor traffic delays.
* In the surface seal process, there can be material cure times of up to 1 week between the asphalt repair process and the application of the surface seal top coat.
Note: The contractor will be hand delivering printed notices to residents 2 days in advance indicating the exact date your street is scheduled for the surface seal treatment phase which may affect access until the surface has cured and dried enough to allow traffic. Please do not water or drive on surfaces until dried, it will affect the final look of the product and track onto surfaces. The garbage company and postal service will also be notified to make arrangements.
We are aware that there will be residents who will be inconvenienced by the street resurfacing work and we ask for your cooperation and understanding. These improvements will result in an improved street that will serve the area for many years.

You will make this easy blackberry dump cake over and over again! It's like a blackberry cobbler using cake mix, and so easy to make!
My maternal grandparents farmed in central Missouri on an absolutely gorgeous plot of land. Wooded, rolling hills. Several ponds, and it backed up to a creek where I spent days swimming, fishing and sneaking up on baby crawfish so I could catch them.
My grandparents were salt of the earth. They farmed until late in their lives, raising cattle and soybeans] and maintaining many acres of woods. My Grandma kept quite the garden, and was a canning and curing pro. She also had huge wild blackberry brambles in abundance.
As a kid with boundless energy, I would be sent to pick buckets and buckets of blackberries. I would pick the blackberries until my legs and arms were scratched beyond recognition, and my face was smeared in juice from sneaking bites.
My Grandma Clara was masterful with blackberries; her jam, pies and cobblers could not be beat! She would then preserve as many as possible in her small outhouse cellar so that she could savor this delectable summer fruit year round.
I think it must be genetic for the women in my family. My Mom makes a killer blackberry cobbler, and if my sister and I ever get to have an opinion on dessert, we beg for something with blackberries!
This blackberry dump cake is so very easy, it's basically like a blackberry cobbler with cake mix! Just five ingredients, and you're on your way! I have had rave reviews from people all over the country who made this recipe. It's a delicious mix of blackberry pie and a gooey cookie, without the fuss! Ready for a simple and delicious blackberry dump cake recipe that tastes like an easier blackberry cobbler? Let's do it!
First mix the fresh, rinsed blackberries with the lemon juice. Place them in the bottom of a lightly greased 9×13" baking pan. Add the brown sugar, then the yellow cake mix. Top with the pats of butter.
Place the pan in the oven, and bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly! If there's a section with dry cake mix after 20 minutes or so, you can add an extra pat of butter over that section.
I love this blackberry dump cake because it it so easy. Pies just don't fit into my life right now, but I definitely have time to whip this up. No mixing bowls are required and this blackberry dump cake will truly WOW a crowd!
If you love this Blackberry Dump Cake, I think you'll also love my Easy Caramel Apple Dump Cake!

Antrel Rolle considers himself to be a Pro Bowl player, but for the past two years the rest of the NFL did not. He says he is going to change that perception.
"Absolutely, there's no doubt about it,'' Rolle said recently.
There is no talk from Rolle about a return to form, a return to health or a return to the lineup. In his three years with the Giants, Rolle always has been there, starting all 52 games (counting the postseason) but his impact seemingly has ebbed and flowed with the rise and fall of the entire Giants defense. He is an every-down player, never coming off the field, but as the point-prevention operation sagged and clunked through a historically bad season last year, Rolle often appeared to blend into the badness.
Rolle never will evaluate his performance by such pedestrian standards.
"Last year I just didn't have the numbers as far as interceptions and things of that nature,'' Rolle said, "but as far as just being a football player and going out there and playing the position I need to play and being that role player for my team … I've been All-Pro. But that's not what you get measured at within this league. Teams notice you. I'm sure the offensive coordinator on the other team knows where Antrel is going to be at any point in time.''
It no longer is a dirty little secret within the Giants defense that Rolle rarely plays his natural position, which is free safety. It is not a sign of decline that Rolle has just five interceptions in his three seasons with the Giants after amassing 10 interceptions in his previous three years with the Cardinals. With the Giants too often a man down at cornerback, Rolle has been asked — actually told — that for the greater good of the defense, he must spend far too much time playing nickel cornerback, perhaps the most demanding spot in the entire secondary. Rolle can do it, but not at the heightened level he reaches when allowed to roam at deep safety.
"We always shoot for that each and every year. We always shoot for me to play the safety role and stay at the safety role but it's never happened, unfortunately,'' Rolle said. "At one point in time I would get frustrated. … It's a part of growing up, a part of being professional and most important a part of just being a team player and doing whatever you have to do in order for this team to be successful.''
Rolle, 30, came to grips with the hybrid role down the stretch of the 2011 season, a key factor in the defense coming together for the Super Bowl run. His hammering home the "All In'' theme was an energizing force, and Rolle staying on the field despite two torn labrums in his shoulders strengthened his standing within the team hierarchy.
At first, Rolle, bristled at coach Tom Coughlin's firm hold, but he has come full circle and now is one of Coughlin's most trusted advocates.
"What's helping 'Trel now is understanding the Giants' way, the Giants' system,'' teammate Justin Tuck said. "He wasn't accustomed to that when he came in. He was more accustomed to [University of] Miami, things of that nature. Now I think he's a lot smarter with some of the things he says in the media and some of the things he says in the locker room, and I think he's gonna be a huge part of our leadership and success of the football team.''
The Giants need and expect greatness from Rolle, who is by far the highest-paid player on defense, set to make $7 million this season (Tuck is a distant second at $4.5 million) and another $7 million in 2014. Rolle will do what is asked of him but is hoping defensive coordinator Perry Fewell can find a capable third cornerback behind starters Corey Webster and Prince Amukamara — with second-year Jayron Hosley, veteran Aaron Ross (returning after one season in Jacksonville) and perhaps even Terrell Thomas coming back from another ACL surgery as viable options.
"Safety is easier than other positions I've been required to play,'' Rolle said, smiling. "Yeah, the level of expectation for myself is going to be through the roof. I understand that once I'm asked to play certain roles maybe my interceptions won't be as high. Honestly, at this point in time it really doesn't matter to me. As long as I get the credit from myself, as long as I get the credit from my team, as long as the credit from my coaches, that's all that really matters to me. I really don't care what outsiders say.''

Protecting Your Land with a Conservation Easement
What do you love about the Shenandoah Valley? Is it the pastures with grazing cows and sheep, or the apple and peach orchards? The rolling fields of hay? The hardwood forests, streams, or the beautiful Shenandoah River?
Unfortunately, these natural places that protect water quality, wildlife habitat, local scenery, and rural culture are threatened. Encroaching sprawl and unplanned development threaten the healthy lands of the Shenandoah Valley, lands that produce some of the cleanest waters in the region.
Landowners have the power to take action in a big way through conservation easements.
Through our Land Protection program, Potomac Conservancy helps protect water quality from future threats by permanently protecting land in the Potomac's headwaters. We work one-on-one with landowners in Virginia and West Virginia to protect water resources, forestland, wildlife habitat, and agricultural lands.
To date, Potomac Conservancy has permanently protected more than 14,900 acres through 76 conservation easements, including Island Ford Farm, pictured here.
Photos of island Ford Farm in Virginia, protected with a conservation easement by the Vance family.
What is a conservation easement?
A conservation easement is a private legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust, such as Potomac Conservancy, that protects land and its conservation values permanently. The landowner and land trust together write the easement to protect the natural and scenic qualities of the land. The landowner retains title and continues to own, use, and enjoy the property, subject to the terms written in the conservation easement.

Why donate a conservation easement?
- Preserve your land's special qualities
- Make a gift to your children or grandchildren
- Prevent future landowners from harming the land or "un-doing" your work to improve your property
- Help maintain the landscape that defines your community
- Enjoy the property tax, state income tax, and federal estate and income tax benefits associated with an easement donation
What do conservation easements do?
- Protects the conservation values of land in perpetuity
- Limits the number and size of structures
- Prohibits industrial/commercial uses (except agriculture, forestry, ecotourism, small-scale enterprises, etc.)
- Requires a Forest Management or Conservation Plan for some activities
- Limits other activities based on your desired use(s) of the land

In 2010, Potomac Conservancy was officially accredited by The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance. Accreditation publicly validates the high caliber of the Conservancy's land protection work and demonstrates that it meets the industry's best practices related to governance and management. The Conservancy is one of just 238 of the more than 1,700 land trusts nationwide to be approved since 2008.

This weekend I'll be participating again in the summer Porter Flea Market. This is a fun Nashville pop-up event that features independent artists and designers. At this year's summer market more than 90 vendors will be in attendance, and no doubt it will be a rocking good time.
Each year I try to make it to a handful of events--it's great for me to get out of the studio and hang with both fellow artists and meet tons of people that are interested in what we do. As always, I look forward to seeing friendly familiar faces (you should meet these peeps too): shoutouts to MID, Meat and 3 Printing Co., Boss Construction, Steric Design, & Holler Design. I hope to make some more creative friends too out of this year's star lineup (lots of new businesses I don't recognize yet!).
If you're in Nashville June 5-6, you should definitely check out the Flea, you won't regret it. And if you do make it, be sure to come by the Familytree booth to say hi. I'll be the tallest dude with glasses there, and probably some sort of plaid shirt on (see above photo for reference).

UN seeks $437m to cope with Afghan natural disasters
UN seeks $437m to cope with Afghan natural disasters
KABUL (PAN): The United Nations and the Afghan government have launched a joint appeal for $437 million to deal with natural disasters in the country, a Cabinet minister said on Saturday.
Seeking $437 million in aid for the war-hit country alone, the UN has so far won pledges amounting to $7.7 million for Afghanistan, Somalia, Kenya and Sudan.
Rural Rehabilitation and Development Minister Jarullah Mansoori said 28 percent of the aid contained food items for deserving families. The minister said the appeal for Afghanistan had been made after a thorough review of the situation in the country.
To a question whether aid agencies would accept the demand, the minister said they were optimistic of a positive response, keeping in view the plight of Afghans.
Afghanistan Natural Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) head, Mohammad Dayem Kakar, said people had suffered a lot due to the ongoing war, with natural disasters adding to their miseries.
Nine million Afghans faced hunger due to the current drought that had precipitated mass exodus in several areas, he said.
UN Humanitarian Coordinator Michael Keating Michael Keiting called Afghanistan's appeal for the $437 million assistance genuine. He said the amount would be used for implementation of 154 crucial development projects this year.
He added the aid would also be distributed to the people affected by foods, drought and other natural disasters. Nearly nine million Afghans are in disparate need of humanitarian assistance.

S&S Customs Bracket Weekend Race Results: Saturday, July 8th
Yesterday was more than a full day of racing as we had a whole lot going on! Our first set of results for the S&S Customs Bracket Race are for the main race with all four classes.
In Masta Performance Pro, Bernie Och took the win when he was .043 off the line then ran a 10.665 on his 10.65 dial. Wes Buckley who was lucky to be on a bye run in the semi-final round as he went -.006 red. Buckley went on to be .052 in the final round against Och, but it wasn't enough to take the win giving Buckley the runner up finish.
Marlon Howes took out Joe Kulik in the McCormack Racing Sportsman category. Howes's .039 light was good for the win. He ran .08 off his dial in as he was getting out of it to tighten up the gap at the finish line. Kulik who was late off the line went on to run a 12.126 on his 12.10 dial.
Dom Locilento Sr's .016 reaction time would have made for a good race, but in this near heads up race Katelyn Smith left the line first when she went -.008 red. Locilento would've been at risk down track had Smith been green as he went 4.865 on his 4.87 dial while Smith ran a 4.861 on her 4.86 dial.
Super Pro Motorcycle saw Mark Johnson win after his worst reaction time of the day. He had been on the tree all day, but was fortunate to see that Brian Clapper went red giving him the win anyways.
Thanks to S&S Customs out of Monroe, MI, Bernie Och, Marlon Howes, Dom Locilento Sr, and Mark Johnson will all receive custom paint and/or airbrushing for their helmets! We are quite excited to see how these turn out once the winners get the work done!
Our next set of results are for the Gambler's Race. We saw Carl Keil take the win in the Box category over Matt Hewitt. Keil was .006 then ran a 5.168 on his 5.16 dial, he was .014 total, while Hewitt was .014 off the starting line then ran 4.981 on his 4.87 dial. Damien Hazelton was our No Box winner over Norman Crawley. Hazelton was .048 and went through the finish line just under his dial in at 9.829 on his 9.83, but it didn't matter since Norman Crawley was -.010 red.
Finally, we got to our pit vehicle race where Carl Keil took another win. This time the win was over David Davis. The golf cart must have been just like the dragster for Carl as he was .005 to Davis's -.026 red. Luckily for Davis, we were giving a pizza to the winner AND the runner up!
We have four more winners to name today as we run Fleet Doctor Bracket Points Race #8.

Definition of Safety Culture
Safety Culture Principles
Safety Culture Work Group
For insight into Lab processes please visit Methodology.
The LBNL core value of "uncompromising safety" has resulted in safety-performance improvements over the years. In order to continuously improve our safety performance we are building on this solid foundation and striving to achieve best in class. To do that, we must examine, understand and where necessary adjust our attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and values which comprise our Safety Culture. How we do that is what this web site is all about.
A universally accepted definition of safety culture does not exist, however, the following three definitions capture the spirit and key elements that are commonly held.
"An organization's values and behaviors modeled by its leaders and internalized by its members, which serve to make safe performance of work the overriding priority to protect the public, workers, and the environment."
"Safety cultures consist of shared beliefs, practices, and attitudes that exist at an establishment. Culture is the atmosphere created by those beliefs, attitudes, etc., which shape our behavior."
"The enduring value and priority placed on worker and public safety by everyone in every group at every level of an organization."
The subject of safety culture encompasses existing safety systems such as Integrated Safety Management, Human Performance Improvement and Behavior-Based Safety. Therefore, improvement of a safety culture builds on existing safety systems and helps to identify needed adjustments by focusing on the organization's values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors regarding safety.
Creating a stronger safety culture does not just improve safety; it also can benefit productivity, staff retention, and the overall organizational culture. Below are examples how a strong safety culture benefits an organization.

With a choice of easy half day and day trips, spend a scenic day out from your Kununurra base in the Kimberley Region, WA. Swim in year round springs, spot some of the 160 species of birds in the region, take a hike in a national park or witness the meeting of five rivers before they flow into the ocean.
The Kimberley is renowned as being a sanctuary to a plethora of bird species, boasting boab trees with trunks so fat they look like they'll burst and glorious swimming holes that quite often you'll have to yourself. From 4WD adventures, hiking through ancient landscapes, swimming, scenic and wildlife viewing there is plenty to experience right on the doorstep of Kununurra.
Discover The Kimberley
Swim in freshwater springs
Before you leave Kununurra, grab your free Kimberley Glove Box Guide from the Kununurra Visitor Centre which includes maps and tips on day trips out of Kununurra. Pack your bathers and a picnic lunch and head west onto the Victoria Highway from Kununurra towards Wyndham. There are several take-away venues in town including bakeries and cafes like the Kimberley Café, the Cornerside Café and the Kimbercrust bakery providing fresh sandwiches, rolls, wraps and salads. Travel for 14 kilometres (8.6 miles) along the Highway and take the right hand turn onto Parry's Creek Road signed Ngamoowalem Conservation Park. Home to the Miriwoong and Gajerrong people, the park features four swimming and picnic areas – Valentine, Middle and Molly Springs and Black Rock Falls. You could easily spend the day hopping from waterhole to waterhole, swimming and lazing on the banks, otherwise continue your journey and explore more of what the region has to offer.
Birds galore at Marlgu Billabong
Continue along Parry's Creek Road and you will arrive at the Marlgu Billabong and bird-hide. A must for avid birdwatchers, this billabong is a RAMSAR listed wetland, internationally recognised and protected as a place hosting migratory bird species. The bird-hide is mounted over the billabong giving you an opportunity to be amongst rainbow bee-eaters, whistle ducks, darters, egrets and magpie geese. Over 160 species of birds have been observed at this site alone. A short drive up to Telegraph Hill, the site of an old telegraph station from 1914, will reward with stunning panoramic views over the lily-filled billabong and surrounding Ord River Valley. If you want to take your time spotting those more elusive species or you just want to enjoy the tranquillity of Marlgu, just up the road is Parry's Creek Farm which offers meals, accommodation and camping options.
Watch the meeting of five rivers
Located a comfortable 100 kilometres (62 miles) on the Great Northern Highway west of Kununurra, is the township of Wyndham. Recognised as being the most northern town in Western Australia, Wyndham has a unique history of both cattle and mining still visible today. Drive to the top of the Five Rivers Lookout, which at 335 metres (1099 feet) above sea level provides panoramic views and the meeting of the Durack, King, Pentecost, Forrest and Ord Rivers before flowing into the ocean. Viewing the Bastion Range, the Wyndham Port and Three Mile Valley walking trail are also well worth your visit. Be sure to stop for a photo in front of the Big Croc sculpture on your way out of town.
View, hike and swim in the Kimberley "Grotto"
Enroute to Wyndham located along the Great Northern Highway, The Grotto is a must-see. The Grotto is a tessellated canyon with breathtaking views from the top into the waterhole at the base below. If you are after more adventure, take the steep climb down in the dry season for a swim; if you are visiting in the wet season, the canyon erupts as water thunders into the valley below. Although these sites are all generally accessible throughout the year, visit the WA Parks and Wildlife website for up-to-date information or the Kununurra Visitor Centre, open daily.
Unlock the secrets of Keep River National Park
One of the Northern Territory's most remote parks, Keep River National Park, is located almost 750 kilometres (466 miles) from Darwin. On the doorstep of the Kimberleys, the park shares a border with Western Australia and is only a 35 minute drive (53 kilometres or 33 miles) from Kununurra.
Keep River combines the best of what the Top End and the Kimberleys has to offer. Rich with ancient geology and Aboriginal culture, the park is also a haven for a variety of plant and animal species.
From your Kununurra base, Keep River can be enjoyed as a full day experience. It is also an easy trip from the visually spectacular Lake Argyle Resort, 40 kilometres (24.8 miles WA side). The Zebra Rock Mine is only 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) from Keep River (NT side), where you can enjoy a mining tour of the unique Zebra Rock and stay overnight in the campground. Safari tents are also available.
Otherwise you can take your time exploring the park's four short day walks and camp overnight. With a choice of two campgrounds, soak up the serenity under millions of stars by your campfire.
Mirima – the heart of Kununurra
Don't want to travel too far? Mirima National Park is located right in the heart of Kununurra. With ancient sandstone domes more than 350 million years old, it is not surprising to hear Mirima referred to as the "mini Bungles" by locals, with similar rock features found at Purnululu.
There is a small network of walking trails in the park, start with the very easy "Looking at Plants" loop walk which is a wheelchair friendly trail highlighting the importance of traditional bush tucker in the region. Continue on from the loop for a short climb providing views over Kununurra and Ord River Valley.
A national park rich in Indigenous culture, consider joining traditional owners on a cultural experience of Mirima. Waringarri Arts Tourprovide an opportunity to learn directly from Miriwoong people as they demonstrate finding bush tucker, share traditional stories and participate in cultural activities such as art and music. Mirima is only a few minute drive from your accommodation, with Kununurra providing plenty of options from the tropical grounds of the Kununurra Country Club, sunset views from the Lakeside Resort and a range of motel and caravan parks.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has entered into a court case that could determine if it has the authority to regulate cryptocurrencies.
Reuters reported on Wednesday that the CFTC had sued Randall Crater's tech company and the cryptocurrency My Big Coin in January.
Allegedly, Crater and his company "perpetrated a $6 million [USD] fraud on people who wanted to buy My Big Coin."
CFTC Court Case
According to the article, Crater's lawyers have said the CFTC does not have any authority on the cryptocurrency because it is not a commodity where future contracts are traded, which is what the commission focuses on regulating.
Gregory Kaufman, a lawyer at the Eversheds Sutherland law firm, has said that the final decision of the case "would have a chilling effect on the CFTC's application of its powers in this area," if the ruling was against the CFTC.
The decision could affect its ability to police cryptocurrency frauds, as the only cryptocurrency where future contracts are traded in the US is Bitcoin (BTC), according to Reuters.
Katherine Cooper, a lawyer for Crater, had this to say on the court case;
"Our argument boils down to the fact that because My Big Coin does not have future contracts or other derivatives trading on it, it is not a commodity."
>>Ethereum(ETH), Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin(LTC) and Stellar(XLM) Added to Regulated Crypto Exchange itBit
Reuters raises the question over cryptocurrency frauds and what regulators could have jurisdiction over them.
Neal Kumar, a lawyer at the law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher, has suggested that Crater may still lose the case, as the Commodity Exchange Act defines services as commodities when they could have future contracts in the future, not only if they have them right now.
Arguments of the case are set to be heard in Boston by US District Judge Rya Zobel on Thursday.
A total of eight cases relating to cryptocurrency have been announced by the CFTC, so far.
The ability for commissions similar to the CFTC to regulate and police cryptocurrency still looks like it's in murky waters. What do you think the ruling from this court case could be?

Even though I love fashion and everything about clothes, I too often neglect the other important aspects of a woman that make her look complete: accessories, makeup and HAIR! Until recently, that is.
Last summer my hair was just looking terrible, "scraggly" is my term for it, so my friend recommended a gal she went to high school with. I visited her website to check it out, and saw an awesome deal where if you do a "cyber consult" with her, you get 50% off the first cut! So I sent Kristy a photo of myself, a couple pictures of celebrities that I liked and she e-mailed back a few of her own ideas. If nothing else, I would go get my haircut and get a good deal.
1. She has a little salon in her home that is SO CUTE! I want my whole house to have her salon's decor--not to mention I love the smell of the products she uses.
2. She is SO great! So cute, so nice, so real and so Mormon which equals fabulously modest.
3. She is a really talented hair stylist. She knows what she is doing and what she is talking about, but perhaps more importantly she knows how to deliver that look you want. While going with short hair my biggest concern has been to remain feminine, and she not only understood and recognized this desire but has also held to that standard.
A conversation I keep finding myself participating in lately is about the fact that we need good, Christ-following people in every area of life, even seemingly non-Christian fields, specifically and even especially in the fashion and beauty industry. Kristy is a perfect example and witness of this. When I go get my hair cut, it is not just a get in and get out kind of thing. We talk a little about faith, a little more about family and a lot about fashion. It is refreshing to have positive and uplifting conversation with her. Also, a really unique quality to Kristy is that she is so encouraging and inspiring, every single time I walk out of her salon I feel reassured, rejuvenated and more confident than ever, ready to take on what the week ahead will throw at me. I never knew a hair stylist could do that!
The most recent style plunge I have taken is getting a pixie cut, and I have never gotten more compliments in my life. I am tellin' you, Kristy is a rockstar!
The lovely Emma Watson was the latest inspiration.
What "style plunge" have you been dying to take?

On Thursday, August 28, 2014, Maryland's Governor Martin O'Malley announced a new record for cover crop enrollment. Governor O'Malley made the announcement at the Maryland State Fair which opened on August 22, 2014 and will close on Monday, September 1 – Labor Day. A large portion of this fair is focused on local farmers, 4-H Clubs, and other programs that impact Maryland's environmental health.
One of Maryland's greatest assets is the Chesapeake Bay. Its great draw for tourists and its extensive impact on the seafood industry makes it a highly valued body of water. Sadly, over the past few decades, pollution levels within the Bay and most – if not all – of its tributaries' pollution levels have endangered the beauty and productivity of the Bay.
Studies have been done to identify the various sources of pollution – from Mother Nature to industry and corporations to individuals. Numerous programs have been launched to help reduce the pollution at its source. One such source of pollution is identified as run-off from uncovered… unprotected soil… following farmers' crop harvests.
A solution was initiated by the development of the Crop Cover Program.
O'Malley announced that 1,849 Maryland farmers have requested funding this year to plant a record 641,000 acres of winter grains. The state's cover crop program gives grants to farmers who plant the crops immediately after the summer harvest. The 2014 guidelines require farmers to plant their cover crop by scheduled dates as early as October 1 and as late as November 5 – to insure the effectiveness in absorption of unused nutrients as well as preventing soil erosion. The grant programs also provides a financial incentive to plant wheat, barley, rye and oats along with a few other crops. This program also provides the farmers with a cash crop for additional income.
More information on this state farming program that will greatly improve the environmental impact of farming on the Chesapeake Bay water quality can be found by clicking here. You may also contact Norman Astle, Program Administrator at 50 Harry S. Truman Parkway; Annapolis, MD 21401. Telephone: 410-841-5834

My name is Chris. I am married to Rhiannon. The whole "ChrisandRhiannon.com" thing should make sense now. If it doesn't, please do not continue any further. This website started back in early 2005 as a place to get information about our upcoming wedding. The wedding is over. Has been for a while. That site wasn't really useful anymore. Now the site is a place where I write about Chris and Rhiannon (sensing a theme here?) Maybe you like us, maybe you don't, maybe you have no idea who we are but want to follow along anyway. Anyway you look at it, we're glad to have you here.
Rhiannon and I were married in the summer of 2005. At that point, we had been dating for 6 years, starting way back in high school. Apparently, we still have not reached the point that we're too sick of each other to continue on. We're together and can be seen on occasion taking evening walks together, and if I'm lucky, holding hands. I say lucky, because the alternative is being pushed in the street into oncoming traffic.
Maybe some days we love each other more than others. I think this is typical of married couples.
We live in a house in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. After both growing up in a remote and rural area of the country, this has been a bit of an adjustment.
We don't really fit in with our neighbors – we don't have an SUV, dogs, or kids. We have a daughter, Brooklynn, and a crossover vehicle crowding our garage. We are fitting in more and more all the time. We do have an old fashioned push lawn mower that never needs gas but does help you work up a sweat mowing the lawn.
No topic is really off-limits to the site. (There might be off-limit topics, but I don't talk about them, so it seems like I talk about everything.) Perhaps I poke fun at Rhiannon a little more often than I do at myself. If she doesn't like it, she should learn how to write about it and get it published on the computer her own darn self.
