I love the events that go in Second Life! from Whore Couture to Kawaii Fair, to the weekly/monthly events like TDR fusion and Acid Lilly. This time around I found a really sexy yummy suit from Pure Poison at Acid Lilly for only 70$L!
The outfit is called PP - Poison Studded Laced Body and comes with a tangos applier not only 1 but 2! One for bra layer and 1 for top layer for all those big bewbie ladies :D
When I first saw it on Seraphim I thought it was amazing! But, alas, I didn't think i would ever wear it and I didn't have anything TO wear with it...I was SO wrong! I started scrounging through my messy inventory and pulling out things I haven't used in a good while. I started with the body, I need a skin that could hold up against anything. So I went with my new-ish cStar skin CE-Sweetheart 4 in Blush. I added my Tangos and my skin applier and then layered the body suit on. it looked fantastic!
Next came the hard part...Shoes. I have a gazillion shoes in my inventory that I have worn once...or never. Ones I bought years ago because they looked awesome! well, I just happened to be around when R.icielli was having a shoe sale and snapped up some sexy shoes! They had an array of colors and I wanted them all...my wallet said otherwise. I picked out a couple of colors, black of course and another pair. They are super sexy and give the right touch to any outfit with the skulls, spikes, and chains on them :D
The hand that I am sitting in is a pose prop featured at Image Essentials (IE) in the female prop section. This place is GREAT for taking pictures, and the group is super nice! you must be in the group to use the props, but the group is free to join and is totally worth the slot up take.

The Fading Joe-Pye Weed
One Farmer's Almanac
photographs by Drausin Wulsin and Sebastien Hue
This beautiful wildflower has been in bloom for the past month in wet areas of the farm. As it now fades, we are invited to review the summer and prepare for the fall.
Perhaps the most significant aspect of the summer for us is that it brought us laying hens and meat chickens. The last time the farm saw poultry of any sort was probably 50 years ago, so this venture represents a new learning curve.
Like many worthwhile ventures, if one knew everything there is to know about it before commencing, one would rarely commence anything! I thought I understood the importance of closing the trap door of the eggmobile at night, until the night I forgot. The next morning I found 11 dead chickens in the field. We also thought hens would naturally lay eggs in the hen house, until we discovered eggs in nests under trees and behind boards hundreds of yards away. We have since erected poultry netting to keep the hens closer to home.
One of the other lessons we learned this summer is that many people do not know how to cook or carve a whole chicken. We didn't anticipate this, but it is reasonable, in that one of the efficiencies of the industrial food system is just-in-time inventory generating perfectly redundant and tasteless cuts of meat. For many people, chicken consists of skinless breasts and thighs. But there is so much more to the bird and to the meal it can provide.
Let's begin with a whole 6-pound chicken, with neck intact, unlike anything you'd find at Kroger. This chicken has eaten the best food, lived a healthy life, and been cared for by interested and able stewards. This chicken cannot be found in supermarkets, but only at farms like ours, where hand-raised food is fostered.
Now we have to cook it. There are numerous methods, so I will share our preferred one: Roasting at 450° for 25 minutes, then at 350° for 45 minutes. This roasted bird is delicious: moist and firm. The best part is the drippings in the pan, slurped off a wide spoon, so clean and flavorful, like poultry nectar.
The first step to carving a chicken is to remove the second joint and drumstick, pulling the joint down with a fork and cutting the exposed joint through with a knife. The same needs to be done for the wing. Then one is ready to slice the breast.
These are not fatty birds, because of their constant activity outdoors. But the fat that is on them is delicious and digestible. The tail is fatty and has great flavor, as does the back. The second joint is always flavorful, and breast meat is a favorite. One chicken should serve four people generously. Once the carcass has been picked clean, it can be used for making stock.
The bottom line is: Don't be afraid of a whole chicken! It has been a staple of productive kitchens for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. It can be a staple of yours as well.
As the bloom of the Joe-Pye Weed fades and the advent of Labor Day dawns, we urge you to claim this food that is yours.
Your partners,
Susan & Drausin
Drausin has been the chief-cook and bottle washer at Grassroots Farm & Foods since 2008, when he chose to become a full-time grass farmer, leaving his job as a banker to do so. He and his wife, Susan, lease 200 acres at Red Stone Farm in Pike County, which has been in the John Wulsin family since 1968. In addition to grassfed meats, the farm offers prepared foods like chili and Bolognese sauce made by Susan's Soulful Kitchen.

Crockatt Garage Celebrates First Birthday
Crockatt Garage has just celebrated its first birthday and what a great first year it has been. Brothers, David and Simon Foster with over 50 years experience between them of delivering excellent levels of customer service and knowing what people want put a brave foot forward last year opening a friendly, reliable, honest garage to serve Hadleigh and the surrounding area.
As well as offering servicing and other mechanical repairs Crockatt Garage now supply and fit tyres, carry out Air Conditioning servicing and repairs, and to complement their range of valeting services are now offering Hadleigh a hand car wash service. With the restriction of the current hosepipe ban and the added convenience of a local service, Saturday's will now be our hand car washing day. From a simple wash and dry to a premium clean, large or small we can cater for your needs.
Having now established themselves and with an ever growing customer base David and Simon have now had time to reflect on an exciting first year. Since starting, their portfolio has expanded with quite a few local business users and bearing this in mind they joined 1link, a national management company for fleet vehicles. This enables the servicing of "lease" cars at your local garage to manufacture standards and no need to travel miles for your servicing. With facilities to suit smaller commercial vehicles, this is also becoming a major part of the business.
Another newcomer is the partnership with Blackcircles.com, an internet based tyre supplier using us as their local fitting agent.
Crockatt Garage would like to take this opportunity to thank all their customers, suppliers, family and friends for all their support in the first year of their trading.

Vow to never see "The Expendables 2" on any medium.
This petition made change with 67 supporters!
"The Expendables" was a theatrical event of cataclysmic proportions.
It surpassed everything that MEN thought could be in a movie. It united all males, from all species of living things, across all continents, in a bond of blood brotherhood. It was simply transcendent.
It went against every trend that the movie industry was forcing on consumers. You wouldn't find a teary-eyed, perpetually open mouthed Bella Swan crying about her terrible life. You wouldn't see a cast of high-school aged kids acting out semi-comedic aggression. You wouldn't see any catering done to any masses. You wouldn't find anyone caring at all about the critical reception.
You want explosions? Have them in a buffet style. You want the gigantic Rocky 4 villain to fight a tiny martial artist? No problem. Have it twice. You want a love story? Mickey Rourke's monologue is as close as you're going to get. There's a woman character in it? Well, yes, but she's going to get waterboarded while Eric Roberts sips coffee.
Finally, you MOST CERTAINLY would not see any "hard language" dialogue removed or any scenes being "edited down" in any fashion, for any reason. The original Expendables film did not pull any punches. It did not show any mercy to the weak. It was a movie going experience that stood alone in the battle of Man vs. Theater - and, it won.
Chuck Norris has now destroyed everything that the original Expendables movie stood for. What once was a universal symbol for MEN to unite around, has now been cast into ruins. Chuck Norris sums it up himself: "[The] Expendables is now a PG-13 film so kids can see it."
The movie has been filmed. There is no hope for retribution. There's no way it's going to change from PG-13 to R. There's no way that it's even been filmed as such. What once was a perfect thing has now fallen victim to the exact principles that it once stood against.
The Expendables 2 will now fit every mold that a modern movie should fit by industry standards. Instead of being a strong followup to an amazing achievement in movie making, it will be the cliché re-release. A potent whiskey and moonshine mixer turned watered down virgin daiquiri that a teenage girl can drink.
An un-rated "special edition" DVD/Blu-ray release with some re-recorded dialogue and CGI effects added will certainly follow -- "See the film you wanted to see originally!" they'll tell us.
Well, we're not going to fall victim to this. You're not going to give us the movie we want? We're not going to go see it. Ever.
Shame on you, Chuck Norris. Violence, explosions, blood, and "hard language"... None of these things are for kids. Your logic is undeniably faulted on many levels, and your target audience for this film (Men, by the way, not "kids") will make it known to you.

Obama calls Iran deal the best option, instead of another war
By Will Dunham and Susan Heavey
WASHINGTON, April 2 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday touted the framework agreement on Iran's nuclear program as a "good deal" that would block Tehran from obtaining an atomic weapon and make the world safer - a better option than another Middle East war.
Shortly after the agreement was announced in Switzerland after marathon negotiations between Iran and world powers, Obama strode into the White House Rose Garden to promote the deal to the American public and skeptical U.S. lawmakers.
"So when you hear the inevitable critics of the deal sound off, ask them a simple question," Obama said. "Do you really think that this verifiable deal, if fully implemented, backed by the world's major powers, is a worse option than the risk of another war in the Middle East?"
Since 2001, the United States has fought long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and, with instability throughout the Middle East, is carrying out air strikes against the Islamic State militant group.
Republican critics and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have spoken out strongly against a deal with Iran.
Obama listed three options for curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions. The first, he said, was "a robust and verifiable deal like this one" that would "peacefully prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon."
"The second option is: we can bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, thereby starting another war in the Middle East and setting back Iran's program by a few years - in other words, setting it back by a fraction of the time that this deal will set it back."
The third option, Obama said, was to pull out of negotiations, try to get other countries to continue economic sanctions against Iran "and hope for the best."
The negotiated agreement "is our best option by far," Obama argued.
The Democratic president said that if the Republican-led U.S. Congress kills the deal without offering any reasonable alternative, "then it's the United States that will be blamed for the failure of diplomacy."
Obama said he had spoken with King Salman of Saudi Arabia, Shi'ite Muslim Iran's main Sunni regional rival, and would soon speak with Netanyahu and U.S. congressional leaders.
Obama called the framework deal a historic one that cuts off every pathway Iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon.
"If this framework leads to a final comprehensive deal, it will make our country, our allies and our world safer," he said.
"It is a good deal," Obama said.
Obama acknowledged a "difficult history" between the United States and Iran. The United States backed a 1953 coup that ousted Iran's democratically elected prime minister. Iranian revolutionaries who overthrew the U.S.-backed shah in 1979 took American diplomats hostage.
Obama said this deal alone would not end the deep U.S.-Iranian divisions and mistrust.
"And our concerns will remain with respect to Iranian behavior so long as Iran continues its sponsorship of terrorism, its support for proxies who destabilize the Middle East, its threats against America's friends and allies, like Israel," Obama said.
Obama said there was always the possibility Iran would try to cheat on the deal. But if it did so, he said, the agreement's framework of inspections and transparency would make it far more likely the United States would know about it, and any U.S. president would still have "all of the options that are currently available to deal with it."

I'm doing a research module for my Computer Science degree, and for my topic, I have collected over 500,000 tweets using the Twitter Streaming API, using a ruby script to store them in a Mongo database (BSON/JSON). I started recording the tweets on Tuesday 7th Feb, and stopped the following Tuesday, so there is a week's worth of tweets.
Here is what the spreadsheet looks like.
I have successfully exported around 300,000 tweets to an excel spreadsheet (I can hear groans already).
I would like to make some time series charts, for example volume of tweets over time and eventually include followers_count as a weighting. But I'm unsure as to how I would calculate this. I think I need to make the created_at column more meaningful to excel but converting it to a date/time it can understand.
I've also had a go with Rapid miner and managed to import a spreadsheet and convert the
created_at field into something the program can understand, but I didn't really have any idea what I was doing after that!
I'd really appreciate some hints as I'm a bit stuck right now.

Water: Simply- when watering, you want to emulate what happens in your cacti's natural habitat. Usually an arid desert.
When rain does occur, it comes down heavily for a short period and then does not again for many days, months or even years in some extreme locations. With proper soil drainage, when watering, you should see a considerable amount flowing out of the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. We recommend watering around the inside rim of the pot (not at the base of the plant) to help avoid over-watering the plant.
We always recommend erring on the side of caution as the most common cause of malaise with a cactus is over-watering.
LATE SEPTEMBER thru
Dormant Season
Cacti enter dormant season - water once every eight to twelve weeks.
Make absolutely sure soil is dry before watering. Dip your finger down into the soil to the second knuckle- if you feel any moisture hold off for another week. Also, water roughly half normal volume.
*Note- some species, namely Adeniums, Mesembs, etc. require NO water during dormancy. Again, please further research your species!
APRIL thru
Growing Season
Cacti enter growing season - water once every three to four weeks.
If you've begun any fertilizer treatments, fertilize with quality product as directed- not too much!
*Make sure you thoroughly water when you do water. With proper soil drainage you should see a considerable amount flowing out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot.
JUNE thru
Summer Season
Cacti enter summer season - water once every three to four weeks.
Hold off on the fertilizer! These babies are laying off the growth as their habitat heats up.
*Placement of cacti can slightly alter these directions. If specimen is in strongest, and therefor hottest, direct southwest light- soil will naturally dry quicker than if specimen is placed in a less lit or hot location. Adjust appropriately.
Light: Sunlight is absolutely essential for all cacti and again- you want to do your best to emulate the conditions in your cacti's natural habitat.
As a general rule- it's always best to put your cacti in the most well lit location possible. Think maximum to start, and begin to pull back slightly from there if the plant is doing ok after a few months of acclimation.
It's almost impossible for a cactus to get too much light in an indoor environment.
Most of these bad boys are evolved to be a-ok in the harshest of desert sun with absolutely no shade. Bringing them indoors shortens their daily in-sun duration as well as direct intensity as a pane of glass is now present between the sun and the specimen itself.
Placement of cacti can slightly alter these directions. If your specimen is in strongest direct southwest light soil will naturally dry quicker than if the specimen is placed in a less lit or hot location.
Rotation is also an extremely important task to keep each cactus healthy. Rotate your plant with every watering to make sure they get an even amount of sun and shade. Uneven light can cause serious issues over time- yellowing, bleaching or a general off-color appearance can be a cause of uneven lighting conditions. Take care to prevent yellowing and discolor due to under-lit conditions as well as bleaching and scarring due to excess heat and direct light on only one area of the cactus.
Etiolation is a concern with bringing cacti indoors and subsequently receiving too little light. Essentially, the appendages of the plant grow unhealthily and in an awkwardly uncharacteristic way to 'grab' the sunlight it's not receiving. This is usually a last-ditch effort to find adequate light before finally dying.
Dust and dirt build-up on cacti foliage can greatly reduce the amount of sunlight getting to your plant. Gently dust your plants bi-monthly.
Alternatively, if transitioning a cactus from a lower or inadequate lighting condition it's best to transition slowly as the plant will be prone to scorching and scarring if the direct sunlight is too strong.
*Please, please, please keep in mind this guide covers general care to get you started. We highly recommended further Google research on your specific species to educate yourself on their exact needs including more precise info on water and sunlight preferences particular to the plant(s) at hand. Thank you! Thank you!

There is no difference between today's Palestinian leadership and that of the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties.
The PLO, Fatah, Arafat, Hamas, Abbas -- its all the same; they seek to destroy Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has on numerous occasion, offered a resumption of the settlement freeze -- a major Palestinian precondition, IF the Palestinian leadership was willing to recognize Israel as the Jewish State.
What was the Palestinian response? An immediate and emphatic NO!
Palestinian Chief Negotiator Saeb Erekat went further, reiterating that the Palestinians would never recognize Israel as a Jewish State.
Whether Erekat understands this or not, that comment puts him in direct conflict with international law and United Nations resolutions.
So, no matter how much the Israel haters would like to blame Israel for a failure in establishing peace, the onus, as usual, is actually on the Arabs and Palestinians.
There is no reason for Israel to negotiate with a Palestinian Leadership that refuses to recognize the Jewish Nations right to self-determination in the land of Israel!
There is no reason for Israel to negotiate with people who are supposed to be moderates but have positions that are extreme.
If Palestinian so called moderates refuse to recognize Israel as the Jewish State, there is no point in discussing a state for Palestinians.
The Palestinian Authority has also made it clear their true intention is not peace but the dissolution of Israel and complete erasure of Zionism.
Another one of these phony moderates,Yasser Abed Rabo, says that Prime Minister Netanyahu floated the idea of extending the freeze in return for Palestinian recognition of Israel as the Jewish Homeland "to distract the Obama Administration and others from the core issues."
By saying this, Rabo admits the Palestinians have no concept of real peace and that they have no intention of recognizing two states for two peoples.
That is as about as "core" an issue as it gets.
By admitting this, Rabo also reveals the Palestinians have been doing nothing but fooling the world with false assurances of seeking peace.
Everything Abbas, Erekat, Rudeineh and Rabo are really saying is that they want a state for Arab/Muslim Palestinians; that is, they seek to fulfill the Arab Nationalist dream of creating Palestine at the expense of the Jewish National dream.

Holidays in palaia in province of pisa
Palaia is a mostly agricultural center located on the border between the Valdera and the Arno Valley. The town, of etruscan origin, is part of the union of the municipalities of the Valdera and includes 13 villages. Palaia is known from the year 1000 as a possession of the viscounts of Lucca. In 1172 it witnessed to the conflict between Pisa and Lucca and later betweeen Florence and Milan. Was annexed to the domains of the city of Pisa in 1495. Three are the old churches in the area of Palaia: the Church of Sant'Andrea single nave, stands on an ancient pagan temple dedicated to the worship of Saturn. The exterior is made of brick, inside keeps some paintings of Andrea and Luca Della Robbia. The Parish of San Martino founded in 1280, also in brick but three large aisles. The Church of Santa Maria dating from the thirteenth century and overlooking the main square. Palaia is dedicated to the cultivation of the vine, olive and fruit trees. From the city's agricultural plots are obtained various quality products including fruits, legumes, vegetables, grapes and olives. Very present in the area also farm-houses in which is conveyed most of the tourist flow. So, the city is an agricultural center which has known how to enhance the beauty of its territory so as to attract visitors from Italy and abroad. The surroundings are great for activities such as hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding. Starting from Palaia you can take the road passing through the hamlets of Colleoli, in which there is the Castle of Legoli landowners in the area, Villa Saletta, ancient Lombard settlement where were shot several italian films, and Toiano, now a deserted village.|Palaia

We have been making use of the good weather and tackling our struggles with measuring area and perimeter of rectilinear shapes (rectangles or shapes made from rectangles, like 'L' or 'U') There is also a lot of problem solving because not all of the measurements are provided.
I loved May's explanation that area was like 'if you had a garden, then area would be how much land I have'. Following that link then perimeter could be the fence or wall around the land.

The back of the frame must be immersed in this amount. Order the picture frame so that the submerged area on the back of the frame will cover some j channels and mirror clips. Use double-sided 1/8 inch thick foam ribbon 1/8 inch from the outside edge of the back of the outer frame. This cartridge compensates for the thickness of the mirror. Use a gem of construction glue for glass on the back of the frame inner lip.
Peel the paper out of the foam tape and press the frame over the clip and j channel. Cut a piece of painter's tape 12 inches long. Press down the center of the ribbon diagonally across the corner of the frame. Press the ends of the tape to the wall. Repeat for the other three corners of the frame. This will help keep the weight of the frame on the wall while the construction glue dries. Clean up some glue that oozes on the inside of the frame. Remove the painter's tape after 24 hours. And the covering of decorative mirror clips with frame project was done.1 8 inch mirror clips, decorative clips for photos

The Chronic Dissatisfaction of a Wedding Photographer
One of the best things about being a wedding photographer is that you start every wedding with a blank memory card.
One of the worst things about being a wedding photographer is that you start every wedding with a blank memory card.
I always have butterflies in my stomach before a wedding. I know I have the right kit. I know I have the right skills. But I'm still nervous.
It's because I have to prove myself all over again. I have to be at my best to reflect the couple's day. But my best is never good enough.
I'm never 100% happy with the photographs I made at my last wedding. There is always something I could improve upon, something I could do better.
I hope my chronic dissatisfaction never fully goes away. If it does, I think that it will be the end of my creativity and the end of my growth as a wedding photographer.
A few days after the hustle and bustle of the wedding day, I start editing the photographs, thinking that I have nothing. All my efforts are for naught, and I'll have to apologise to the couple, sell my gear and get an office job.
Then I come across a photograph like Tanya and Craig's first dance and I think 'Yes, that will do.'
I slap another blank card into my camera and head off to the next wedding.
Onwards and upwards.

I know, I know, I'm behind the curve on this, but I'm trying to get into video to compliment my traditional photography. For the longest time I've wanted to do "behind the scenes" type videos of my photoshoots, take 1st person videos, video podcasts, videos of models posing, etc.
I've done a few stop action & videos using my Nikon DSLR's but I needed something smaller and more flexible. So, to compliment my DSLR (which I will use), I purchased a GoPro Hero 3+.
I enjoy watching GoPro videos and I have a list of ideas I want to try. So, stay tuned to this channel as I post about my experience jumping into video and the GoPro Hero 3+
Here we go!

The road trip. Day 8: Montana
I almost didn't write this post today, as I was busy watching ESPN's O.J. Simpson documentary, Made in America. Harris and I didn't manage to watch all 8+ hours in one day, but we got half way through, and wow, that is powerful stuff. It feels inappropriate to offer my voice on much of the subject matter presented in the first half of the series, but it really brings home just how much injustice is still in this country, happening today. And we're still sitting by, complicit. And it's sicker than ever.
We also had our own interaction with the cops today, which probably wouldn't have gone as well if we were black. We filed a criminal complaint about our neighbour. He has so little going on in his life that he's made it his mission to drunkenly berate us about our (correct as per our lease) trash disposal habits. Last night he came up the two flights of stairs to our deck despite us telling him not to, informing him he was on private property, and that he was trespassing, to harass us and tell us to "go fuck" ourselves.
He pleads with us to be "good stewards of our environment" so the back alleyway that is home to scores of rats doesn't get dirty. He tells us this while puffing on a cigarette, polluting the larger atmosphere that we have to live in for many years. But as long as that back alleyway is clear for him and his two cats, the world is all good.
But back to Bozeman!
As soon as we crossed the state line into Montana, Lia and I were struck by the awesome lighting the sunset was putting out for us on the surrounding mountains that looked like they could be straight out of the Lion King opening.
I'd been looking forward to driving through Montana, "big sky country," since I first had the idea to drive the length of America. I'd read about the insane natural beauty of the area, and as Lia was on driving shift, I was free to admire. And admire I did.
After our first sleep in 3 nights in a real bed, we head out in search of something to eat for our morning in Bozeman. Our first stop was a place we'd read about prior to the trip; a donut shop, called Granny's Gourmet Donuts.
Granny greeted us as we walked in the door. He was a tall man with a white beard, who clearly believed in his product (as any good pastry chef should), but also had the common decency to be jolly. He offered Lia the chance to dip a fresh donut into icing and sprinkles - a practical treat he usually saves for six-year-olds, he told us, but felt bad for Lia on account of her black eye that I promise I did not inflict™.
I wolfed down my two donuts that I'd purchased for just a dollar each; a risen glazed donut and a chocolate frosted. Lia was a good person and only ate one of hers. We sat for about 10 minutes, just enjoying the cosy shop and watching Granny and the middle aged female employee in a Seattle Seahawks sweatshirt interact with customers.
One such customer was Russ. Another old bloke, Russ joined us at our table - his "usual spot" - after getting a coffee on the house from Granny and a donut. Russ was clearly a regular, and any regular at a gourmet donut shop that sells its goods for a dollar is a man after my own heart.
Clad in a grey cap with scruffy white hair underneath, Russ struck up a conversation with the two of us. We swapped stories about Yellowstone, as he used to be a contractor there, and he advised us on some of the more scenic routes towards Seattle. We must've chatted for about 30 minutes about life, the universe, and everything, during which time Granny brought over a plate of four fresh, hot donuts for the three of us to gorge ourselves on while we talked.
Needing to get on our way, we began to say our goodbyes, and I went to purchase another donut for the road. Russ insisted on getting it for me. For those of you keeping track at this point, that's a total of 3 donuts we paid for, and an additional 6 free. I love this place.
Granny recommended the neighbouring spot for real food, and thankfully trusting his seemingly sound judgement, Lia and I stuffed ourselves with great omelettes, hash browns, toast, and tea.
(Incidentally, one of Lia's roommates also drove across the country this summer, via Bozeman, sometime last week. He went to Granny's and gave our regards. Russ wasn't there and was likely to be recovering from a hangover somewhere, Granny said, but he'd pass them on.)
Now bursting at the seams, it seemed like a prime time to explore downtown Bozeman. We'd heard it compared to Portland, Oregon, and having visited about this time last year, we agreed. Bozeman had a lovely, clean main downtown street, with plenty of interesting antique shops and artisan coffee haunts and eateries to keep any local looking for a little city buzz happy. As we drove out around midday, the rest of the appeal - that stunning view - became clear once more.
Our next destination was Bannack State Park, a gold rush-era town, now deserted. A ghost town.
It was in the middle of absolute nowhere, so no wonder everybody left. But the town itself was really cool! It looked straight out of a Western movie; a single strip of town, with a boardwalk leading down each side, connecting the schoolhouse, the saloon, the hotel, and the homes of the former gold diggers.
It was pretty cool to see the largely unrestored buildings slowly sinking into the ground, almost as if the earth that gave the natural materials to build them was reclaiming them. According to a plaque on the wall, the town was so lawless that the barber who worked in the saloon wouldn't miss a stroke with a straight blade razor when the bullets started flying. You don't get service like that at Great Clips.
We also dipped into the schoolhouse, which was about as oppressive as private school in the U.K..
There were also questions about America written on the blackboards which I didn't know the answer to which made me feel bad about myself, so I left reasonably quickly.
Neither of us had had cell service for a few hours now, which meant we couldn't plug our overnight stay in Lolo, Montana (purely for convenience and cost's sake, because were the fuck is Lolo, Montana?) into the GPS on our phones. We actually had to talk to the information officer who pointed our directions to us on an actual paper map! This town had no shortage of historical relics.
Listening to one of the seven albums I had actually saved to my phone (streaming's where it's at - unless where you're at is Bannock State Park with no service), we set off again into the eternal horizon for what might be the final day of the trip? I can't quite remember. We'll find out tomorrow!

The State Employees Insurance Board would be wise to heed Gov. Bob Riley�s call to reject an attempt by the 35 members of the Alabama State Senate to give themselves free -- or nearly so --health insurance at the expense of the Alabama taxpayer.
The board, which oversees the state employees insurance fund, will not meet again until Aug. 15, but at that time it could consider -- and should reject decisively -- Senate Resolution 97 senators passed to have themselves included under the generous state employees plan.
As is often the case with this sort of underhanded ploy, the resolution was passed on the last day of the 2007 regular session of the Legislature in May and on a voice vote that, of course, left no record of who voted for or against the resolution.
The attempt of these elected officials, who serve on a part time basis under the Alabama Constitution, to get benefits they are not entitled to came during the same session in which the entire Legislature voted for itself a draw-dropping pay raise of more than 60 percent.
In his opposition to the backdoor attempt by the senators to get cheap insurance, Riley framed the issue nicely:
�They started the session giving themselves a huge pay raise on an unrecorded vote and ended it giving themselves a huge taxpayer-funded benefit on an unrecorded vote," Riley said in a press release Monday.
�All this was during a session in when the leadership wouldn�t even bring up for debate our bill to make health insurance more affordable for small business workers."
Riley was joined in his outrage by State Finance Director James Main, a member of the governor�s cabinet, who concurred in a letter to the insurance board that the resolution passed by the secretive senate �can only be interpreted to be an effort to have their healthcare insurance paid for by the taxpayers of Alabama."
In a separate letter to the board, Riley called the resolution �a brazen attempt by state senators to give themselves free or low-cost health insurance" and that in his opinion that attempt � is illegal and, done in the last hour of the session on an unrecorded vote, it perverts government to the illegitimate pursuit of self-interest and private gain."
In his letter, addressed to Joe Dickson, chairman of the insurance board and William Ashmore, CEO of the State Employees Health Insurance Program, Gov. Riley laid out the reasons why he considers the senate�s actions both unethical and illegal.
�A statute [like the one setting up the parameters of the insurance program] cannot be amended by a resolution," the governor wrote, citing legal research conducted by Main. �If the Board accepts this maneuver by the Senate, it will be approving a request that is not permissible under Alabama law."
Among other legal reasons for rejecting the senate�s audacious attempt to have someone else pay for their health insurance, the governor also said allowing the resolution to go into effect would violate constitutional prohibitions against increasing compensation to state lawmakers.
Legislators have found ways around that constitutional prohibition in the past, such as when they called this year�s massive pay raise simply an increased in their �expense allowance." But we would hope the insurance board would be more faithful to the constitution and reject out of hand this latest attempt by the senators to stick their snouts deeper into the public trough.
Riley right to ask for rejection of special Senate treatment
The State Employees Insurance Board would be wise to heed Gov. Bob Riley�s call to reject an attempt by the 35 members of the Alabama State Senate to give themselves free -- or nearly so --health insurance at the expense of the Alabama taxpayer.

A personal story on how we became "green"/
Very often we get the question of why we are so radical brokkolinis. On that note, we thought we would share a bit of our separate, personal stories on how Radical Broccoli became what it is today, why we care about the planet, why we are total food geeks and keep a plant-based diet, why we are super curious about everything that can make you feel better and heal like crystals and superfoods. And last and probably most importantly - how we learned that the way we treat ourselves mirrors the way we treat our planet.
I am extremely uncomfortable with sharing, but I have thought about it for the last three years and decided that it would be a good exercise for me to share a little bit of my personal health story with you guys, especially if it can help some of you and maybe show why the way we treat ourselves affects the planet. My health journey changed when I started my master's degree at Kings College in London when I was 23. I was one of five girls in the class, the youngest and most inexperienced, and was studying my ass off. I loved it, but it was insane. I was commuting one hour each way on a fully packed tube, was going out a lot in the evenings, and bought most of my meals on-the-go. After living there for six months, I experienced extreme stomach pain (to the extent that I had to lay down on the street), I was exhausted and I couldn't recognize my body. I didn't understand why I gained weight when I was seemingly healthy (I practically spent my free time at Wholefoods) and why my heart would not stop racing. I also had a weird rash all over my chest.I went home to Oslo and I could not stop crying. My dad convinced me to take a month or two in Norway to calm down, which I did. Over the summer I began keeping the same routine every day and overall reduced my stress levels, and slowly but surely the symptoms disappeared and I tried to forget about it all. After I handed in my thesis, I went on vacation and everything was glory until I came home again, and my body collapsed. It was really scary, I went to the emergency room and different doctors but no one could find anything wrong. I had no clue what to tell my friends because I didn't know what was going on, so I didn't really tell people about it. Since doctors could not help at all I started looking for answers online. I found a book by Kris Carr, which became the start of a health journey.I decided to go plant-based and remove as much toxins as possible through cleaning out my cosmetics and buying mostly organic products, because I understood that my body must have been completely toxic from the way I was previously living (we're talking stuff that we are brought up to regard as normal - dairy products, tobacco, alcohol, meat, antibiotics, the pill). This is when Radical Broccoli was born, in 2015 - trying to figure out the food system and how to eat well.Along with that came a massive research of how our current food production affects the earth, such as how farmers are working with huge amounts of toxins from non-organic farming, the harmful effects of meat production and factory farming for animals and the environment, and a whole range of other aspects of sustainability. My sister came home from an exchange in Singapore at this time and she thought I was nuts, but she joined the vegan diet and did lots of research to be supportive. It's so funny to look back at the blog posts we made back then, we were really angry at the food system, and at the same time, we would die if anyone found out what we were blogging. haha.Around six months later I felt amazing again and I started to be social and started a new job in the Armed Forces in Norway. I felt like hell was finally over and I was so happy! I just wanted to forget all about Radical Broccoli and focus on having fun and enjoying life, and for a whole year, I did just that. I had periods of more and less energy, but overall I felt good. With increased health, my expectations also skyrocketed, and my priorities changed from health to work and fun. Let's just say I had another downturn because my body now sort of knew how it felt to be treated well, and then it was deprived of it all over again.I got the diagnosis of "Chronic fatigue syndrome", and I tried to make peace with that, but wasn't convinced at all. Although, it was surely a relief to finally have an explanation for the outside world. The last six months of 2017 were hard for my body. At some level, I knew my body was speaking up because I was not living right or doing what I loved - and it had to tell me again and again and again.After a LOT of soul-searching and a kick in the ass from my sister, I decided to quit my job and do something that was meaningful to me - that was the rebirth of Radical Broccoli!!Fast forward until today, I'm still struggling more than I want to admit with my body. I am trying different methods to get better, and one of the biggest steps for me was doing a yoga teacher training. Not because of the title or the yoga actually, but in seeing how much I stress. I got a panic attack from just sitting on a mat and being still with my thoughts! I also learned that we store emotions in our body, and if we don't let them out we become sick. I highly recommend these three weeks to anyone who is going through something and has a hard time being with themselves, undistracted.
I'll begin with the end-ish, and work my way around. After hitting a big wall last year, I had to start digging into how I treated myself and my surroundings. I have dealt with a general anxiety disorder for almost a year (we're talking about walking around with my dizzy head in a cloud, not recognizing myself in the mirror, feeling like I couldn't see clearly, having zero energy, and being intensely afraid of disease or dying), and tried to understand what caused this and how to get past it. I have learned that the body speaks - at first with a low voice, and then, after being ignored consequently over time, it starts shouting. It's easier to understand everything looking at it in retrospect, even though I still have some issues that feel unresolved.So, back to the beginning, or at least the beginning of the major changes health-wise. Some months after I started studying Economics in Copenhagen in 2012, I began dealing with some health issues. My lifestyle was pretty much like this: I got up super early to go to the gym for a rough workout, followed by something between 8 and 11 hours straight in the library, where I spent half the time worrying that I wasn't prepared for the next exam and half the time reading. I spiked my energy with coffee and tobacco (snus) and went out a lot on the weekends. I felt like I was eating healthy and doing lots of exercise, so I didn't really see any reason for feeling bad. After a while, I started to feel insanely bloated throughout the day.I went on exchange to Singapore, where I remember that my tummy got worse, and I suspected dairy to be part of the problem. I was also experiencing lots of weird fear for everything from heavy rain (super common in Singapore) to driving a car. I tried quitting all dairy products and soon felt a lot better with my stomach (even if my lab-test came out negative). Right after I moved back home, Anette had decided to go vegan overnight, and I thought she was the craziest ever but decided to join her to be supportive for a week or so. I practically went from having meat and dairy in every single meal, to completely clean up my diet in a few days, and I just felt SO gooood. I remember being very concerned with having the facts and the research straight, that everything I did was scientifically backed, even though the only proof you actually need is how you feel (easy to say now).Soon after, I said to Anette that she should make a blog about her health journey, which turned out to be the birth of Radical Broccoli vol. 1.After a while of maintaining a radically healthy diet - we're talking all plant-based, organic, lots of superfoods, gluten-free (I thought I was healthy before but woaah), I felt beaming with energy, my skin was super clear, and my digestion was getting back to normal. But I didn't feel like I had time to cook, and at least not to blog, as I had lots of reading to do and lots of things going on in my life. It was also feeling a bit like a weirdo.During my master's, I decided to go on another exchange - this time to Brazil. I had the time of my life at first, but my health was soon becoming the worst it had ever been. My stomach was constantly hurting, I looked pregnant every day, couldn't wear any of my old clothes, and barely had the energy to do anything. I went to lots of doctors. The first one wa convinced that I was pregnant, and I cried for days until I got the blood test back. I visited specialists - an gastrointestinal specialist that diagnosed me with esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus) and an endocrinologist that was supposed to explain me something about why my cycle was so odd, but ended up giving me pills for anxiety (didn't get a clue why?). In Rio, I had my first panic attack. It was the day after a night out, I went to school and then to the movies with my friends. After the movies, I felt a sting in my chest like we all do sometimes, and didn't think more about it at first. All of a sudden, I felt numb in my hands and feet, and like my whole body was melting to the ground. We jumped in an Uber to go home, and I was certain we needed to go straight to the hospital since I was dying. My heart beat like crazy, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. My two dear friends luckily kept calm and just took me home, and I went to bed but was up most of the night feeling my heart pounding so loud. The next day, I still had the same sensations and called my mom in Norway to explain. I also told her that my vision was blurry. My roommate decided to take me to the ER in Rio, and soon after I had all tests clear with no abnormalities, popped a valium (from the ER) and felt insanely good in a little buzz. My heart calmed down. They told me it was a panic attack, and I had no relation to that from before. Similar symptoms kept coming and going all until today, my body had some more panic attacks in store. A funny thing I noticed was that all symptoms would disappear when I was in the water, surfing, and then appear again immediately after.I remember being on a date at one point shaking like a leaf and having to tell him about my situation because I felt like I couldn't breathe. Haha poor guy.After Rio, it's been a bumpy road with testing different elimination diets, doctors, and cures. I got the "diagnosis" IBS as so many others, which is basically something doctors say when you have some typical symptoms. Things are gradually becoming so much better, especially after changing the way I regard working and becoming my own boss. I, unfortunately, had to say no to a very cool job offer and take some months completely off - which I spent in Portugal before Christmas. I also started working out differently, more low-impact training like yoga and pilates instead of pushing myself insanely hard like before, got my first appointment with a phycologist and started with meditation every day. I thought we intuitively knew how to breathe, but I have been breathing only in my throat for so long without noticing anything! I haven't been prioritizing a really good diet until now the last weeks, it's been pretty hectic starting a company – but now I'm SO motivated to get back in amazing health both mentally and physically.The most important message from my journey is definitely that you have to listen when the body is acting, and everybody's needs are different! Maybe a stable 9-4 life is perfect for you, it just wasn't for me, and maybe yoga and meditation isn't your thing. That doesn't matter, as long as you respect yourself enough to treat yourself just as good as you would treat a little kiddo or the ones closest to you.
Our very best advice
It's important for us to say that we would never go back and tell ourselves that we shouldn't have partied so much or eaten differently than we did - that's part of growing up and the student life, and we had so much fun! The problem as we see it today has been the amount of stress and pressure that we put on ourselves, the insane expectations, while also having a super intense social life, and all the toxins we have taken in overall - and on top of that doing something that you don't really love!Another huge lesson which is definitely part of the reason for our vision and mission with Radical Broccoli is that the way we treat ourselves and the way we treat our planet and surroundings are connected. When we feel good, we have extra energy for those around us, including animals and the ocean. Most of us have no clue how much toxins we eat, wear, drink and think, and that it's not only hurting us but also the planet. Our mission is to change this and to make it easy, fun, and cool to be and do good. When you find your "thing" in life, everything will flow much easier, even though you might have to work through some old toxic from your past lifestyle.Okay, so that was a lot of information. Hopefully, we can give you some good advice after going through some stuff:
Think about how you can live closer to nature – by avoiding too much plastic and chemicals through non-organic food and products, but also toxic thoughts, relationships, and old patterns.
The Epstein Barr Virus (mononucleosis) which we both had at some point the last years sometimes has a hard time leaving the body, and it can affect you a long time after you have had it. This is why it can be useful to do a detox ala Medical Medium.
Always follow how you feel rather than putting all your trust in research reports and facts about what worked for others
Adding lots of plants and superfoods to our diets has been the biggest change ever – when we stick to a radically good vegan diet with no sugar, gluten or processed food, little alcohol, and no coffee, things just change so much even though it feels like it's taking forever to see real progress. It sounds hard for some, but having a hard time in your body is worse and it's SO good for the planet.
Explore – don't take no for an answer when you know it is not right
Physical symptoms can come from mental disturbances – for example anxiety can give you a headache, tight muscles and affect your vision
If you haven't gotten into meditation yet, this is a life-changer! We highly recommend the guided ones from Deepak Chopra and Oprah, or apps like Calm
Ask yourself if you really love what you do
Remember to trust that the body always wants to heal and feel good - it just sometimes needs a little help!
And lastly - don't be shy to reach out for help - to experts or to us if it can be useful for you :*
*Hoping that sharing is caring, and will now go back into shell*

Bailey's Puppy Portraits
Meet Bailey! She's an 11 week old (and growing!) Goldendoodle with the sweetest personality. Her parents were the best helpers trying to keep her in place and get her attention with numerous squeaky toys and treats. At the time of this portrait session, she was just starting to adjust in her new forever home - so lots of stimulus made for a very sleepy puppy by the end of her photo shoot! Already enrolled in puppy classes, Bailey is learning to sit, stay, and do puppy push-ups! What a smart girl! Congrats to the Lynch's on their new addition to the family!

Is China Buying the World? (Paperback)Peter Nolan (author)
Paperback 120 Pages / Published: 06/09/2013
- In stock online
China has become the world's second biggest economy and its largest exporter. It possesses the world's largest foreign exchange reserves and has 29 companies in the FT 500 list of the world's largest companies. China's Rise' preoccupies the global media, which regularly carry articles suggesting that it is using its financial resources to buy the world'. Is there any truth to this idea? Or is this just scaremongering by Western commentators who have little interest in a balanced presentation of China's role in the global political economy? In this short book Peter Nolan - one of the leading international experts on China and the global economy - probes behind the media rhetoric and shows that the idea that China is buying the world is a myth. Since the 1970s the global business revolution has resulted in an unprecedented degree of industrial concentration. Giant firms from high income countries with leading technologies and brands have greatly increased their investments in developing countries, with China at the forefront. Multinational companies account for over two-thirds of China's high technology output and over ninety percent of its high technology exports. Global firms are deep inside the Chinese business system and are pressing China hard to be permitted to increase their presence without restraints. By contrast, Chinese firms have a negligible presence in the high-income countries - in other words, we are inside them' but they are not yet inside us'. China's 70-odd national champion' firms are protected by the government through state ownership and other support measures. They are in industries such as banking, metals, mining, oil, power, construction, transport, and telecommunications, which tend to make use of high technology products rather than produce these products themselves. Their growth has been based on the rapidly growing home market. China has been unsuccessful so far in its efforts to nurture a group of globally competitive firms with leading global technologies and brands. Whether it will be successful in the future is an open question. This balanced analysis replaces rhetoric with evidence and argument. It provides a much-needed perspective on current debates about China's growing power and it will contribute to a constructive dialogue between China and the West.

Labour activists urge Corbyn to take harassment action
Labour activists have submitted a dossier to Jeremy Corbyn detailing claims of harassment, intimidation and abuse "at all levels" in the party.
The 43 anonymised cases in the LabourToo report cover women describing themselves as party staff, activists, politicians and candidates.
They complain of behaviour ranging from inappropriate touching to rape.
It comes as MPs prepare to debate proposals for a new complaints and grievance system for Parliament.
The new procedures were drawn up by Leader of the Commons Andrea Leadsom in the wake of a rash of complaints of inappropriate behaviour last autumn, which led to the resignations of two Conservative cabinet ministers and the suspension of a number of both Tory and Labour MPs.
The LabourToo spokesperson said the level of inexcusable behaviour in the party which had emerged in recent months was "genuinely distressing".
"Sexual harassment, abuse and discrimination is not restricted to the corridors of Westminster, but is taking place at all levels within the Labour Party," they said.
"We need a system that is not open to political bias or interference from the friends and allies of the usually more powerful men whose behaviour causes the problem in the first place."
LabourToo is an internal Labour Party pressure group seeking to highlight and combat sexual assaults and discrimination within the party.
It is calling for internal action in the following areas:
- A fully independent complaints process, including panels made up of people with no clear link to party
- Compulsory training for all party staff, elected Labour representatives and key elected officials
- A comprehensive set of policies covering bullying and harassment, sexual harassment, domestic abuse, abuse, assault and sexual assault
- A confidentiality policy which requires members not to share confidential information they become aware of as part of the complaints process.
- Mandatory DBS checks for those seeking selection as candidates, both at a national and a local level.
A separate report published on Wednesday found that a quarter of MPs - including half of women MPs - said they were personally aware of sexual harassment or abuse in Parliament.

For nearly 10,000 baby boomers a day who will be retiring over the next 17 years, there are a multitude of decisions to be made. When should I retire? How should I file for social security? How will I pay for healthcare? These are questions that need to be answered, along with one more … Should I move?
In a recently released study from Better Homes and Gardens, 57% of baby boomers plan to move out of their current homes in retirement. Moving in retirement can often mean savings on taxes and lower maintenance costs as well as potential income tax savings if moving to a more tax-friendly state. But even if staying in place, many retirees may find their current home no longer suits their lifestyle.

Last year, APD created a controversial SOP that basically said that officers could not notify federal authorities when they had a reasonable suspicion that a suspect in their custody had entered the country illegally. There was minor furor over the issue and APD quickly "clarified" (read changed) their position on the issue (Read our take here and here).
Last month's triple homicide in San Francisco caused one of the most liberal mayors in the country Gavin Newsome, rescinded the city's policy - a policy that the nutty mayor had actually promoted through a series of public service announcements. (Hat tip: Jim Villanucci)
All of this got us wondering... what is the current policy of APD? We did a little googling and found the following.
Officers shall not inquire about or seek proof of a person's immigration status, unless the person is in custody or is a suspect in a criminal investigation for a nonimmigration criminal violation and the immigration status of the person or suspect is pertinent to the criminal investigation.
All of this has us wondering... In light of the recent spike in murders and the long standing property crime problem, how many of these crimes are being committed by illegals? How many of them have had contact with police and have presented a legal New Mexico license? How much of the crime here in Albuquerque could be prevented by a simple phone call?
We believe that whenever someone enters this country illegally and benefits from taxpayer provided schools, healthcare, etc., they are already guilty of larceny. Officers should be free to pursue notification of appropriate federal authorities whenever they come into contact with someone who they have reason to believe is in this country illegally. Further, the State of New Mexico is knowingly participating in a crime by making it easier for illegals to blend in and access taxpayer funded programs.
It's no surprise that people who come here illegally would be less averse to breaking our other laws. The Almighty Alcalde's first duty as mayor is to protect the public. That means removing the restraints that bind APD and allowing them to use their judgment when interacting with illegals. Let's make Albuquerque a sanctuary for the innocent rather than a play land for criminals. Who knows how many lives we can save?

Manmohan-Karat meet fails to break ice
The CPM Politburo renews demand that the Govt should desist from proceeding with the deal, report Sutirtho Patranobis & Saroj Nagi.india Updated: Aug 30, 2007 18:02 IST
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, accompanied External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, had a breakfast meeting with CPM General Secretary Prakash Karat in the Capital on Tuesday, but the hour-long discussions failed to break the logjam on the Indo-US civil nuclear deal.
<b1>The first indication of this came shortly after the meeting when the PM's Media Advisor Sanjaya Baru read out a terse statement: "Karat and the Prime Minister reiterated that efforts would be made to sort out the issues."
Without spelling them out, he said some points regarding the agreement were discussed at the meeting which was also attended by National Security Advisor MK Narayanan.
But after Karat sounded out some party colleagues and Left allies, including CPI leader AB Bardhan, about the deliberations, the CPM Politburo issued a sharp statement renewing its demand that the Government desist from proceeding with the deal. It said the PM's statement in Parliament did not address the Left's concerns.
The Politburo again questioned the requirement of the annual "good conduct certificate" from the US President, asking what happens if the US Congress rejects it "on issues ranging from Iran to anything that may come up in the future."
Apprehensions over 'Hyde Act'
Apprehensions over the Hyde Act were also raised.Although the Left is unlikely to withdraw support to the government over the issue, its leaders indicated on Tuesday that they would have to "redefine" their relationship with the government as the situation had become "irreconcilable" and "untenable". It is possible that the four Left parties would opt out of the UPA-Left coordination committee and extend only issue-based support to the government.
A decision on their strategy would be taken after consultations within and between the Left parties within this week.
During his meeting with the PM, Karat reiterated that the Government should not proceed with the last three stages before the deal is operationalised — reaching agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Nuclear Suppliers Group and its ratification by the US Congress. According to Mukherjee, until these three stages are cleared — which is a time consuming process, the deal in any case cannot be operationalised.
The PM told Karat that all the Left's concerns with regard to the 123 Agreement had been addressed. But Karat disagreed, saying he would share the PM's views with his party's Politburo. "We will convey our stand to the government after the Politburo meeting. The Politburo would take the decision,'' he told the Hindustan Times.
Meanwhile, Congress President Sonia Gandhi, while addressing the Congress Parliamentary Party meeting on Tuesday, congratulated the PM on the deal, saying that it fulfills all the assurances he gave in Parliament. In an oblique reference to the Left, she said: "We are a democracy and differences in views are inevitable but informed debate and discussion are the answer." She also asked her MPs to communicate to the people, the background to the agreement and the benefits it will bring.
A senior Left leader however said the deal has "capped" all the problems the UPA and the communists have been trying to resolve for three-and-a-half years. "The differences are irreconcilable. But why should we bring down the government on this issue? How many people in India know or understand the deal. There are other economic issues to talk about. But the nuclear deal has capped all the problems we have been having with them (the government)," he said. He, however, said that the Left would not go with the BJP in asking for a vote on the issue.
