It is unclear why President Muhammadu Buhari went to Kurmawa Prison on December 6 during his two-day visit to Kano State, but his stop at the prison clearly highlighted Nigeria's awful prison conditions. Buhari pardoned 500 prisoners and empowered them with some cash.
A report said: "At the Prison, he said: "I am pleased with this visit and I have learnt a bit more about the conditions of the prisons and inmates. This building in front of us was built since 1910. Rehabilitation of prisoners and training of inmates is very important to us and we would continue to invest more on this. I asked one of the inmates (released) how old he was and he told me he is only 19 years old. If we have people of 18 and 19 years in the prison, and there is no continuous training, then their lives will be completely destroyed. We will invest more in education and vocational training.'' Buhari is expected to move from words to actions.
According to the report, "The 500 inmates granted pardon, including men and women, were drawn from various prisons in Kano State, including Kurmawa Prisons, which has 1,398 inmates as opposed to 750, the established capacity." The difference between the number of prisoners in the prison and the number of prisoners the prison was built to accommodate is alarming.
Overpopulation has been a major prison problem for a long time, and it will remain problematic if nothing is done about it. Further information from another source gave more insight into the overpopulation problem: "Our prisons are congested. A facility meant to accommodate less than 600 inmates currently houses over 2,400 inmates. The inmates are mostly those in the 'awaiting trial' category." This disturbing picture of the state of prisons across the country, and the state of Owerri Prison in particular, is a cause for concern. The Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Owerri branch, Imo State, Lawrence Nwakaeti, who made the observations, said the prisons were in a deplorable state. It is a reason to call for reforms. Nwakaeti focused on "Judicial reforms and sustainable development in a democracy," in an address at an event to mark the 2017/2018 legal year in the state.
Corroborating the depiction of the lamentable condition of the country's prisons, a 2017 study by a not-for-profit organisation, Citizens United for the Rehabilitation of Errants (CURE-NIGERIA), showed that 50, 427 or 67 percent of the 74,508 prisoners in Nigeria, are awaiting trial. This figure makes Nigeria "the fifth country with the highest awaiting trial population in Africa, trailing Libya, DRC, Central African Republic and Benin Republic," according to CURE-Nigeria Executive Director Sylvester Uhaa. Concerning Owerri Prison, CURE-Nigeria statistics indicate: Capacity: 548; Inmates: 2,307; Convicted: 193; Awaiting trial: 2,114.
It is noteworthy that the organisation found that excessive use of pre-trial detention and low investment in welfare spending are major causes of the prison overpopulation problem. Uhaa observed that when defendants are admitted to bail by a court, but are unable to satisfy the bail conditions, they are remanded in prison custody, thus swelling the population of those awaiting trial. The solution, according to him, is for the federal and state governments to "ensure the release of people who are illegally and innocently held in prison and detention centres throughout the country, and to take steps to ensure that prisons are used only as a last resort."
Challenges faced by prosecution agencies and the judiciary are also to blame for prison congestion and a situation where some of the inmates end up spending more time in prison custody than they would have spent if convicted. A top prison official was quoted as saying: "The congestion has sadly overstretched the facilities and personnel, thus leading some inmates to leave the prison more hardened than they were before incarceration."
Obviously, the country's justice system is in need of reforms to address issues including overburdened courts, delayed trials and prolonged trials. The prison system also needs reforms to ensure that there are adequate prisons with adequate living conditions. In July, the Comptroller-General (CG) of Nigeria Prisons Service (NPS), Ja'afaru Ahmed, announced that "a 3000 capacity ultra-modern prison with all the requirements for successful reformation of inmates will soon come on stream." He also said "modern cells are being constructed in different locations to replace old and dilapidated cells in order to improve living conditions of inmates."
However, the country must avoid a situation where "the new prisons will soon be filled up with awaiting trial inmates and then we will need to build bigger ones, and then bigger ones," Uhaa argued. Interestingly, he noted: "Research indicates that there is a direct relationship between welfare spending and imprisonment. Countries that spend more of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on welfare have lower prison rates than those who spend less of their GDP on welfare. For example, Denmark, Sweden and Finland spend the highest proportion of their GDP on welfare and have the lowest imprisonment rate in the world. This is why we have continued to advocate more investment in education, health and other social and economic welfare programmes, as these will help reduce crime and other social vices in Nigeria."
The argument for socio-economic improvement is the heart of the matter. When government pursues what is known as "the greatest happiness of the greatest number," and the governed experience the fruits of such pursuit, it should depopulate the prisons.
"Prison conditions should not be an additional punishment," says Penal Reform International (PRI), arguing that "States are also obliged to ensure that prisoners are treated humanely. This includes providing adequate accommodation, food and water, sanitation and healthcare, access to light, fresh air and exercise." It is the responsibility of government to ensure humane prison conditions.
In the final analysis, tackling prison problems requires a multipronged approach to reform the criminal justice system, improve the prison system and advance socio-economic conditions.
Buhari's observations at Kurmawa Prison should prompt action by the relevant authorities. It is not enough to observe that the country's prisons need reconditioning.

Substance Abuse and Suicide
Compared with the general population, new research has found that those with substance use disorders are more likely to consider suicide.[1] In fact, the report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) states that the rate of suicidal thoughts were 3.9 percent in the general population, which soared to an average of 9.4 percent in illicit drug users.1
SAMHSA went on to report that the percentage of adults with addiction varied with the type of illicit substance used.1 Of those who used marijuana, 9.6 percent had suicidal thoughts.1 Also, 14.2 percent of those who used hallucinogens had suicidal thoughts, as well as 14.7 percent who used cocaine, 17.4 percent who used inhalants, 13.0 percent who used pain relievers for nonmedical use, 14.0 percent who used tranquilizers, 18.1 percent who used stimulants, and 20.9 percent who used sedatives.1
In 2012, there was an estimated 23.9 million Americans, aged 12 or older, who were current illicit drug users.[2] This represents 9.2 percent of the United States' population of that age group.2 Unfortunately, the rate of current illicit drug use has risen from 8.1 percent in 2008 to 9.2 percent in 2012.2
Approximately 23.6 million of those with a substance use disorder needed treatment in 2012; however, only 2.5 million received it.2 Of those millions who did not receive care, 94.6 percent believed they did not need treatment.2 Another 3.7 percent felt that they did need treatment yet did not make an effort to seek help.2 A mere 1.7 percent felt they needed treatment and did make an effort to seek help.2 However, without insurance or with insurance that did not adequately cover the cost of substance abuse treatment, more than 50 percent ended up paying for what they could by using their own savings or earnings.2 Another approximate 25 percent needed to borrow from family members.2 This was the number one reason why treatment was not adequately received in that 1.7 percent who sought help.2
According to Peter Delany, Director of SAMHSA's Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Health, "Suicide takes a devastating toll on individual, families, and communities across our nation. We must reach out to all segments of our community to provide them with the support and treatment they need to that we can help prevent more needless deaths and shattered lives."1

Nothing But the Whole Wide World to Gain
Those who are willing to be vulnerable move among mysteries.
—Theodore Roethke
I have wanted to tear down the walls
that fear built, even to shatter the window glass,
so that there would be nothing between us,
no artifice to keep us from meeting,
defenseless me to defenseless you. And I've wanted
to take the bare skin away, too, as if even
this human husk is too much in the way
of communion. I have wanted to take you inside
me and to be wholly inside you. Your blood
my blood and your breath my breath.
Is it crazy to say I would erase myself
so that there was nothing left of a line
that might separate me from you. That's
how connected I want to be. That's
how vast I believe we might love—
our atoms comingling, our quarks combined—
that's what I mean when I say
I am willing to be vulnerable
with you, to collapse all the space
between us and then as one proceed,
to walk and walk with you and never stop.

Two items have come to my attention today. The first is a news item proclaiming that some 'big name movie stars' are rushing to sign up to a new film punted to 'prove' that the destruction of the World Trade Centre in 2001 was a 'conspiracy' by the Bush Administration. One of the 'stars' claims he changed his mind on the official reports after his son showed him some 'new' evidence about the collapse of building 7. It seems the urge in Hollywood to believe their own illusional world exceeds any vesitiges they might have of common sense. As the saying is, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and they rush to prove it with their willingness to listen to any and every hair-brained doomsday merchant.
The second thing that caught my attention today is an article in Psychology Today entitled "This New Age of Anxiety." It touches on the plethora of movies rushed into creation immediately after the tragedy, perhaps the most pernicious being the Michael Moore manipulation of fact to create "Fahrenheit 911" which I note the BBC is still promoting as a "documentary." OK, so Moore and the BBC HATE G.W. Bush ut is this really an appropriate way to attack him? Through a tragedy and a deliberate act of terror?
Reading the article it struck me that we have a crazy situation. We live in an age of unprecedented access to knowledge and information, yet we seem to prefer to allow ourselves to be fed selective bits and to always bias toward believing the worst - and never doing a fact check. And, when we do, it is usually a "Google it" and pick the first article on the list if it agrees with or confirms our bias. In "This New Age of Anxiety" the author, Mathew J Edland MD, lists five common obsessive anxieties in our age: -
Political Anxiety
Economic Anxiety
Planetary Anxiety
Fear of the future, and
Information excess ...
Distrust of politicians has seen an explosion of growth in recent years, and with it a distrust of anything and everything a government tries to communicate. This is what drives the majority of people who refuse to accept that the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were destroyed by terrorist action. The really fanatic followers of that school of thought don't care how much they damage the credibility of their nation abroad, or how much ammunition they hand their very real enemies in the Middle East - as long as they can air their views and bring down the Washington government. It's a dangerous mindset, the same sort of mindset, ironically, found among those who join organisations like Al Qaeda.
For another group of followers of the "it couldn't have been a terrorist attack" school of thought, it is their own perception of the position of the US as the most democratic, most free, most powerful nation on earth that blinds them. One of these 'truthers' as they call themselves, states that he doubts 19 Saudi Arabians (Fact check, 15 were registered as Saudi Arabian, the remaining four carried Egyptian or UAE passports) could have attacked the most powerful nation on earth. According to him, 'some of these people didn't even know how to fly.' Again, I'm not all all sure where that one has come from since most appear to have at least taken flying lessons, and once an aircraft like this is airborne, turning, aiming and crashing is probably the easiest thing in the world. All you really need to know is how to either guide it by adjusting the instructions to the autopilot - or turn it off and use the yoke and rudder pedals. As usual, Hollywood is falling for its own hype and imaginations are now in high gear.
Economic anxiety is rampant. No one trusts banks, bankers or government Economics Minsiters any longer. Certainly not after the economic collapse of 2007-8. A lot of people now spend a lot of time worrying about their incomes, the security of their possessions or their homes and the possible future their children and grandchildren face. One could say, "it was ever thus" but there does seem to have been a massive upsurge in people taking extreme measures to secure their wealth. On the other end of the scale are those who have simply given up and make little effort at all.
Then there is that favourite - Planetary concern. I've certainly addressed this one often enough. Nature changes, it always has, and I've no doubt it always will. It has changed us through evolution and it is still changing us, even though we are now changing nature as well - and I'm NOT talking about climate here. We are certainly changing the environment. Every paved street increases rainwater run-off, every white painted roof changes the local rainfall pattern (True! A recent study shows that this measure REDUCES rainfall in an area by up to 16%). The truth is man has been changing nature since we first discovered how to grow crops to feed ourselves instead of having to push mammoths of cliffs and gather berries and nuts. What has changed since the beginning of the 20th Century is that the human population has exploded - particularly in those countries where the ecological balance is probably at its most delicate. One can understand this 'concern,' but, as the article I linked earlier points out, for some it has become almost a phobia. I would say that for many it has become a religion, just as the distrust of politicians has led some to turn 'proving' events like 9/11 were 'The Government trying to trick us' seems to have taken on the status of a Credo.
As for fear of the future, the problem appears to be how much we know about events and possible events. I would also suggest this is further fuelled by the "Fourth Estate's" penchant for sensational headlines. "Near miss by Massive Asteroid" screamed a recent headline. The sub headline reported that scientisits had calculated it might collide. What didn't become apparent until almost the end of the piece was that the calculations showed a one in heaven knows how many, chance of a collision occurring in several thousand years. Other similar 'dire predictions' include one from last year that the €uro had less than two months of life left to it. I have to say its a pretty lively corpse, but I've not seen any retraction of that headline. We are constantly bombarded with messages regarding 'safety,' suggesting we are all likely to be maimed or killed getting out of bed. Our children are constantly told they are in danger of sexual abuse and we are told there are threats of terrorism, Islamification and probably little green men from somewhere outlandish as well. No wonder some people tell their physicians they "Can't see a future."
The information age has its drawbacks. We get far to much information thrust at us, and the human brain isn't good at processing out the 'noise' I don't need to be worried about - especially when a lot of it is about potential threats. We are also not good at checking our facts. Often we half hear something, or here it, but then process it through our bias filters and arrive at something less than what was actually said. This is a major problem. Throw in the fact that most of our "fact checks" are now a quick check on "Mr Google" and the problem is compounded. Not everything on the internet is factual, nt everything is correct, and there is probably as much misinformation out there as fact.
I agree with Dr. Edland, we do live in a new Age of Anxiety. I'd love to say to some of the angst ridden Doomsayers I encounter from time to time - "Get a life! Grow up, there are no monsters 'under the bed'" - but I'd probably be breaching their "human right" to be paranoid ...
I just hope this excessive anxiety streak and obsession with Doomsday passes soon. Unfortunately, I suspect we need to evolve out of it - and that probably means a whole new human species. Oops, I think I've just started a new phobia for some folk ...

Hunter: Jeff Propst
Animal: 155" 9 Point Whitetail
Location: Missouri
Weapon: PSE Dream Season EVO
Joust and Double Throat Patch.
There's nothing more that us whitetail hunters dream about than to check those cameras in July and August and see what kind of bucks are popping up in front of them. This year was full of a lot of ups and downs for most hunters in the Midwest. EHD was everywhere and we were so nervous that it was going to hit us, but fortunately, it missed us. Going into the fall of 2012, we had the best year for getting Reconyx pictures we've ever had, and these two bucks were definitely on the hit list!
October started out pretty slow for us, a couple good encounters and taking out a few does kept us busy, but we were ready for the big ones to get on their feet. In the first couple days of November, we were shocked at how bad the movement was. East winds had pushed in, and the deer seemed to have went into hiding. We didn't see a single buck the first two days, not to mention we got skunked on November 2nd! That just doesn't happen to us very often.
November 3rd found us hunting in our favorite morning stand, Twin Towers. We got in the tree good and early and were ready for action. The first two hours were dead! Not a deer. I turned around to dad and said, "what's the deal!?" He just shook his head and said "I have no clue." Ten minutes later the fun began.
As I sat there daydreaming about what deer we might see, I could hear leaves crunching. Just as I turned around, dad was turning around to tell me. He said "Shooter!" As soon as i saw him i told him, "It's the Double Throat Patch buck!" The buck came in to 15 yards of the tree and dad gave him a soft grunt to stop him, and the deer bolted. He ran to about 35 yards and dad was able to make the shot. We were uncertain about the hit, so dad climbed down to look for his arrow. His feet no more than hit the ground and he could see another buck coming. He looked up at me and said, "Dude, it's Joust!"
Still in the camera stand, I tell him to hook his bow back on the pull rope. I start pulling his bow up and as soon as I got it into my hands, I clipped the camera back on the rope and sent it down to him. When Dad got the camera the buck was less than 50 yards away! The buck was getting close when I finally got ready and still in my mind, I thought there is no way this is gonna happen, even though I was getting ready to draw. I finally get a shot and the buck only went about 35 yards! It was unreal, we were in shock.
Even though we knew my deer was done, we slipped out to review dads footage because we didn't want to disturb the area. We noticed that Dad's buck was hit a little low, so we gave him a good amount of time. We snuck back in and recovered my buck then came back long after dark and were able to find Dad's deer.
This was without a doubt the most memorable hunt we've ever had together, and it feels so good to have a couple good ones down. Good luck to everyone the rest of the season and stay safe.

When I started this blog, I thought I knew the fashion rules. Now, I have to say, rules are way more fun when they are broken. Maxi dress on a short woman? Mixing crazy patterns? Bring it on. The No White After Labor Day Rule was pretty ingrained into my fashion sense, but this past weekend's weather was so nice, it was easy to bring out the white jeans.
Ok, technically I wore this before Labor Day. But this fact should in no way be seen as a weakening of my resolve to wear these white pants well into the fall!
What do you think about white pants or shoes after Labor Day?
Jeans: Gap
Sweater: Ann Taylor
Shoes, Watch & Sunglasses: Michael Kors

The very challenging week ended with some of our crew participating in Penticton's Peach Classic Olympic Triathlon. For starters, Kari Strutt celebrated her 50th birthday that day, by crossing the finish line with a personal best time, a huge smile, and her equally proud and delightful daughter in tow. "THIS is what 50 looks like!", she exclaimed while making her way to the finisher's chute. Most of us can only hope, Kari!!
Unfortunately, the day didn't bring smiles for all our athletes.....Lorraine Churchill and Patty Infusino were each battling some medical issues which forced them to stop mid-race. Both showed their champion spirits by making their way back to the finish line, to support, encourage and celebrate the successes of their team-mates. The biggest smile of the day, however....and probably even of the week, had to go to Marija Susnjar.
After the epic week of training, she put together a solid race, had a personal best time, and overcame some big demons on the cycling leg of the race. What a difference 2 years can make!! We were all proud and inspired by you, Marija! Both Kari and Marija were awarded the first annual "Blue Hoody Awards" at our wrap-up dinner, each for overcoming demons, and for the tremendous improvements they demonstrated. Congratulations, ladies!
While their teammates were out in Penticton, other Mercury athletes were racing across the globe. In the midst of a total-home-makeover, seasoned Ironman athletes Todd and Shana Graham traveled to Switzerland for their "A" race this year. These two cram more living into a year than most do in 10 years! After a year of traveling, work, and many family commitments, they approached their training with less emphasis than in previous years, and spent the weeks before the race vacationing HARD. In spite of this, Todd crossed the finish line at 11:24, 4 minutes faster than his previous personal best time! Congratulations, Todd! Shana's race was a bit more of a character-builder. She was plagued with some nutrition problems, and credits Nick Doulias, who was volunteering that day, for getting her to the finish line. Both highly recommend the race, and are already planning out their races for next year!
A huge congratulations to one of our newest team members, Cheryl Jones who successfully completed her first ever 10km run, AND her first open-water-swim triathlon at the Coral Springs/Chestermere Lake Super Sprint. Next up for Cheryl is the Strathmore Women's triathlon. Goooo Cheryl!
After a year of supporting his wife Kari's Ironman training, Ken Bagan decided he'd like to take on the challenge of the Gran Fondo Rockies. Having been active all his life, and having spent many hours on a touring bike, it wasn't a surprise at how easily he transformed himself into a cyclist. In a matter of months, he went from a regular gym-goer, to a solid finisher of the full Gran Fondo distance, with Kari along for the ride. Ken now is re-shifting his focus to support her in the weeks leading into Ironman Canada. Here he is pictured below, after cheering Kari to the finish line at the Peach Classic. Congratulations, Ken!!
Fellow Mercury Rising athlete, Patty Infusino, also participated in the Gran Fondo….which apparently was not the cushy training ride she had anticipated, "Uphill both ways….how is that possible!??!". She credits the ride for being more challenging than the IMC bike course, and now has the benefit of THAT fitness under her belt. Richter who?!?
Many more updates to follow....

"This race was a good mix of veterans and young new athletes coming up the pipeline, and it's pushing the veterans to become better," USA Skeleton assistant coach Zach Lund said Saturday. "I'm really excited about where our program is heading. It's been crazy weather this week with a snowstorm yesterday, rain last night and then warm today, but the track crew did an amazing job keeping the track in great condition for a fair race."
O'Shea entered Saturday's final heats 0.27 seconds behind Katie Uhlaender in second. She gained the lead by a mere 0.01 seconds in Saturday's opening heat with a time of 56.19 seconds, and solidified her title in the finale with a time of 56.09 seconds. O'Shea claimed her fourth title by 0.22 seconds with a four-run combined time of 3:43.37.

"I didn't put the pressure on myself to do well, to win, to race better since I had a really tough season," O'Shea said. "I'm just not racing to the best of my abilities. My family got here last night, so I went to dinner with them. I actually didn't sleep at all last night, I just couldn't fall asleep, so it's kind of comical that I was focused and aware and in my own zone that I haven't been able to get to all year. I'm proud of myself for getting there and having my focus just be on myself today."
Uhlaender, a three-time Olympian, finished second after posting times of 56.47 and 56.30 seconds for a total time of 3:43.59. Savannah Graybill (Denver, Pennsylvania) maintained her position to secure the bronze medal in 3:44.23 after clocking times of 56.51 and 56.59 seconds.
Kendall Wesenberg moved up to fourth place with a total of 3:45.10. Megan Henry finished fifth in 3:45.34, while Gracie Clapp-Taylor was sixth in 3:45.40.
Antoine dominated the men's race with the four fastest runs of the race to claim his sixth career title by a huge margin of 2.25 seconds. Antoine led with runs of 54.35 and 54.50 seconds for a combined time of 3:36.02.
"They weren't my best runs, but one of the biggest things about coming back to Lake Placid was to test some sled setups and runners and it was good to see how those setups ran here," Antoine said. "It's nice not going into an Olympic season with some of those questions hanging over me. It's always nice to come back at the end of the season to race with all of people on other tours and the new athletes. Taking my sixth national title is pretty special."
Nathan Crumpton jumped up a spot to claim silver in 3:38.27 with runs of 54.71 and 54.81 seconds. Two-time Olympian John Daly capped his comeback season with a third place finish after posting runs of 54.96 and 54.79 seconds for a total of 3:38.55.
Alex Ivanov totaled a time of 3:39.39 to finish fourth. Mike Rogals was fifth in 3:39.63, and Jake Miter, of Troy, rounded out the top six with a four-run combined time of 3:41.04.

I'm so into organizing my stuff at the moment! I don't know what's happening to me, because I usually find my harmony in a logical mess where no one can see any order but me. It must be spring or something.

|Hurry spring!
Have lots-o-linkees for you all today, so I'll just get started. I am going to try the target="new" insert to see if I can get the links to open to a new page: here goes nuttin'.
At Rose & Thorn Blog, we have a new feature called "Back Story," where our writers, poets, and artists give us insight into the creative process – whether for the story we published, or some other "writerly endeavor." Today we have Ballpoint & Boredom by Eirik Gumeny where Eirik tells us of the old craggly voice in his head that gives him advice on how to win the girl, and how that came to be his submitted story to R&T. We hope you'll stop to read, subscribe, comment.
Sometimes something will just catch my eye when I'm doing research (sometimes "research" means "goofing off" -teeheehee). I came across this 'Foodies' Web Series To Ridicule Snooty Gastronomes Beginning March 9.
And from my MSN page: Four jobs everyone should have. How many did you have, if any? I had at least three, and in some fashion, all four.
And "What's in your Bag?" – a look at what's in the gigantic purses women carry. But, what also caught my eye is the photo with it – Don't you want to tell her to eat a sammich? Or have just a little pasta? Or a slice of cheesecake or a cookie? Something? Why do we women make ourselves into caricatures of ourselves? Into some kind of weird version of ourselves? Meh. Oh well, her body, her reasons, not for me to judge (so why do I feel I'm still judging in some fashion?).
Two Words: Pajama Jeans. Would you wear them? Have you ordered any? If so, tell us about it. If not, are you curious?
There's a wonderful blogsite for writers – Writer's Unboxed – and as well they have a Facebook group – come join in with us! Today there is a post up about all the digital phenom racing round the internet: "Brave New Whatever" by Anne Aguirre
From GalleyCat I pulled a link for the Read a Book for Ten Minutes & Save Publishing.
I loved this post by Toni McGee Causey "Where do you get your ideas" – such a wonderful unique insight/look into the writer and writing process. Loved it.
Nathan Bransford always has something interesting and informative on his blog. He weighs in on the "'Suddenly' Millionaire" Kindle writers. I love the title/cover for his book, not related to this post but I just wanted to show it to you, -there to the left.
Anthony Bourdain had a wonderful episode on the travel channel about New Orleans after Katrina. GMR is from New Orleans; his family is from there; and I lived in Baton Rouge many years and came to know and love New Orleans. South Louisiana has taken quite a hit: Katrina and then the gulf oil spill. I hope, when you can, you all will support the Gulf states by considering gulf seafood products. While I'm at the Gulf Coast Creative Writing Teachers conference in the Alabama Gulf Coast, I'm going to eat all the gulf seafood I can!
Angie Ledbetter and I are both planning to eat at our Beloved Chef John Besh's restaurant next time I'm down that way and we can scoot over to New Orleans. We'll eat at other New Orlean's restaurants, as well – there's something for everyone. Let's support fresh wonderful Gulf Seafood when we can, and, as well and just as important, let's support our own local farmers and other local suppliers of produce, diary, seafood, and other products!
Now y'all grab some fists-full of the day! Hope you enjoy the links. If you come across anything interesting, please post it in the comments!

Note: I can almost guarantee I'm going to catch some flack for writing this post. Someone's going to show up and tell me that it is unfair for me to say this when I haven't stepped up and contributed to the project. Also, I'm speaking for myself here, not as someone who has contributed to Sonatype's documentation efforts.
Here's the risky part of the post. I'm not at all excited about Maven these days. It isn't something that I wake up every day and think, "Wow, Maven's come so far in the past two years and I'm really excited to teach another Maven training class and update the content to cover new material." There's isn't much new material coming out of the Maven project recently because the project seems to be mired in this state of deadlock.
I'm sitting here watching Gradle pick up momentum, generating a lot of good ideas, and Maven hasn't even had a point release to fix known bugs since at least April of this year. The Maven project is sitting still. While Maven might have a lock on the build market now, I think people should get ready for a shift.

I just celebrated my birthday on Sunday and my lovely bestie gave me this from the local Sephora store. Thank you so much D!
Colourful eyeliners!
These are shorter than the normal sized eyeliners. They are really creamy and glide easily on lids. They are supposed to be waterproof so I did a little test. I ran these through water and they held up just fine. But after some rubbing, they smudged. I wore two colours on my lids and took a shower for the fun of it. Didn't pass the test though. The colours migrated to the undereye. Sigh.
These eyeliners are probably better for ladies with no creasing problems. I really love the colours though. I'll find a way to work with them if it kills me!

Founded as a "Holy Experiment" Pennsylvania (named by King Charles for Penn's father) was to be a place where Quakers could practice their religion without fear of the persecution they received in England. To attract settlers in large numbers, Penn wrote a glowing prospectus, promising religious freedom as well as material advantages, which he marketed throughout Europe in various languages. Within six months he had parceled out 300,000 acres to over 250 prospective settlers, mostly rich London Quakers. Eventually he attracted other persecuted minorities including Huguenots, Mennonites, Amish, Catholics, Lutherans, and Jews from England, France, Holland, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, and Wales.
On Charter Day you'll be able to take a free, self-guided tour of the Keith House at Graeme Park with volunteers in each room to answer questions and tell you a bit of history about the people and the architecture as well as the benefits of becoming a member of the Friends of Graeme Park and the many special programs we offer throughout the year. We'll be here from 12 noon - 4 pm, but be sure to arrive by 3 or 3:30 so that you have time to go through the house. More detailed tours of the house are offered year round on Fridays - Saturdays from 10-3 and Sundays from 12-3 for a nominal cost.

Hello there, how is your summer so far?
Mine is great! I'm on vacation, surrounded with family and awesome weather. I was sick for a while, but I'm much better now. Anyways, I didn't forget about my blog nor my readers, so I asked people to take some head-to-toe pics of me. I know this isn't much, but when I was sick, I was literally going nowhere. But when I did dress up to go out, I made sure someone snapped a picture.
I hope you understand and enjoy the pics!

AMICUSDRACO – I am a hobbyist breeder with many years of experience. Above all my animals are my favorite pets and the fact that they are breeding specimens is my second importance. It means that their comfort of living and time I can dedicate them is more important than the number of animals I own. My animals live in spacious naturalistic terrariums and are properly nourished. I take care of young lizards for a period of time sufficient for them to get strong and immune enough to survive moving to their new homes without any problems. This period of time varies depending on species and even individual specimen. Although lizards are self-reliant since they hatch they are also very delicate – that is why I do not sell animals till they are at least two months old. I love beauty and I know that lizards should be pleasant to watch. I attempt to get the best animals for breeding so their progeny is expected to be at least as beautiful as their parents.
I have a great hope that all people who decide to buy my lizards will find so much joy and relax in this hobby as I do.
My reptiles are under veterinarian care of:

After Nathan Harper finds a picture that oddly resembles himself online, he begins to ask questions. With in a day there are people attacking his house, trying to catch him. Nathan does not know who he can trust, so he goes off on the run, trying to remain hidden at every turn, all the while trying to figure exactly what is going.
Abduction was released earlier in the fall, and was supposed to be Lautner's expose; he was supposed to come alive as the next big action star. If that was his sole intention, he should have chosen a script with at least a shred of credibility, and not just a typical action movie with the same old stunts seen hundreds of times. Lautners Jacob Black may have gained him a few supporters, as he is one of the few who has given off a worthy of mention performance in the Twilight saga. Lautner has the look, at 19 he is physically fit for any role. He can climb walls, kick, and punch and use all the martial arts moves he chooses. If anything in this film Lautner gets credit for at least kicking ass in the action scenes.
What Abduction suffers from is lack of integrity. It tries to build the romance between Nathan and the girl across the street, but it is just not necessary for the plot line at all. The character of Karen played atrociously by Lily Collins (daughter of drummer Phil Collins) had no reason to be in the film at all. Karen was simply used to add sexual tension and climax to a scene where the make out heavily on a train. Why do you they have these sexually charged young adults stopping to have a little romance and then suddenly just stop awkwardly to say "we should get food"? The reason is the PG-13 rating, it enables kissing and flirting, but very little else can be shown. PG-13 also brings down the limit of using the F-bomb to just one use.
Very little of Abduction is worthy of redemption. There are a few scenes that maybe could have used a touch of better writing, or at least an edit of the initial draft. Abduction was a film that got the green light because of the action. Everything else is a dull attempt to be better then what it is. All the dialogue is unpleasant to sit through, because Lautner hides behind his squished up face, it seemed like he was attempting to show rage. I feel like at times, when Lautner was attempting to sound like a tough 19 year old kid, his voice sounded shrill and child like.
Enough with the baseball stadium scenes, why is that the only public place to meet? Why would you choose such a place, unless you know every little crevice of the place it is probably not a good idea. It is more then likely possible, Nathan Harper would have known a much better public place to manoeuvre around in, a place much easier to plan a grand escape from. Also during the baseball stadium scene, Nathan does what every action movie character does; he meets with the bad guy when he was still ten steps ahead of him.
Lautner may be adored by screaming fan girls young and old all over the world, but that does not change the fact if he wants to remain a star, he must choose films that are worthy of him remaining a star. Perhaps he is still young, drawn to scripts that are a breeze to read, but someday Lautner it would be good to see if you can read a script and play a character that isn't tough and does not rely on fighting. He is on the way to limiting his own career, because the worse movies you do, the likelihood of getting a quality script sent to you is lower.

I've struggled a little this year with my Christmas tree decor. Usually, pulling out my treasured ornaments is a delightful exercise which brings back memories. We have inherited a substantial collection of vintage bulbs and these have been complimented by cute ornaments I've picked up over the years. And in recent times, we've began to amass a collection of hand made items by the kids. Suffice to say that we have an amazing collection of ornaments. Most years, I spend time just looking at the tree and reveling in its beauty.
But this year was a little different. I feel like we've had the same tree for the last five years now and I needed a change. Not too different though as I had to put up all the old favorites for both me and the kiddos. So I decided to change up the color scheme using bulbs. Traditionally my tree is red and white. Here is a pic from last year:
This year I tried to do more of a 'multi' color theme using the bulbs. Now it must be said that I have not been using a lot of my good vintage bulbs because the kids break them so easily. I've given in for the time being and purchased plastic bulbs. I really don't like them as well but they get the job done and prevent tears from being shed.
Without further ado - here is what our tree looks like this year (as decorated by my kids with help from me):
Anyhoo....how is everyone else's tree doing this year? Have you had as much angst about your tree or are you simply enjoying it (as you should!)
I leave you with this amusing item:
Thanks for stopping by!

Patristics Sentence Examples
- - The earliest writer on patristics was Jerome, whose book De viris illustribus gives a brief account of one hundred and thirty-five Church writers, beginning with St Peter and ending with himself.
- KARL JOSEF VON HEFELE (1809-1893), German theologian, was born at Unterkochen in Wurttemberg on the 15th of March 1809, and was educated at Tubingen, where in 1839 he became professor-ordinary of Church history and patristics in the Roman Catholic faculty of theology.
- But when Luc d'Achery turned from exegetics to patristics and the lives of the saints, as a sort of Christian humanist, he led the way to that vast work of collection and comparison of texts which developed through Mabillon, Montfaucon, Ruinart, Martene, Bouquet and their associates, into the indispensable implements of modern historians.
- In 1493 he went to Paris and thence to Italy, studying canon and civil law, patristics and the rudiments of Greek.

But in reality, that is not how York's crushing exodus from the postseason should be remembered. The Revs had their chances to give Yorkers their first pro baseball postseason victory in 46 years. Too much timid play from the Revolution simply would not allow it to happen.
York committed three errors for the second straight night while watching another close loss circle the drain. The Revs were ousted from the Freedom Division Series Wednesday night after Somerset's 6-4 victory before an announced crowd of 6,346 at Commerce Bank Ballpark.
And the end of the season came after York seemed to wake up in big fashion during a three-run seventh that created a one-run lead. But George Sandel overthrew first baseman Chris Ashby on a routine ground ball that would have ended the seventh.
