It was an ugly second half of basketball for the Dallas Mavericks, who were completely blown out by the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs hit 20 3-pointers -- setting a franchise-high -- and steadily built on their lead from the opening tip.
But for the Mavericks, there was bigger news than the score. The fact that Dirk Nowitzki -- doing his best Santa Claus impersonation -- played in his first game of the season after going through rehab following arthroscopic knee surgery on Oct. 19 is important for the long-term prospects of the team.
It was thought Nowitzki wouldn't return until after Christmas, but he felt good enough in shootaround that he decided to give it a go. He came off the bench with 6:28 left in the first quarter for his first action. Nowitzki played 20 minutes and scored eight points with six rebounds. He did not play in the fourth quarter, with the game totally out of hand. But the mere fact that he gave it a try and began the process of getting his legs back under him and getting used to game speed can only help this club in the future.
They need a lot of help, as the final score indicated. The Mavericks fell behind early Sunday and never recovered. The Spurs turned a 12-point halftime lead into a 34-point advantage after the third quarter, reaching 100 points as the fourth quarter began.
Dallas could not stop San Antonio's perimeter shooting and once again had too many turnovers. The Mavericks had 20 turnovers, which the Spurs turned into 25 points. San Antonio had 17 turnovers, but the Mavericks managed just six points off those turnovers.
The Spurs move to 10-2 at home and will face the Mavericks in Dallas on Dec. 30.
What it means: Nowitzki's return provides a big boost for the Mavericks, despite Sunday's loss. They are in a difficult stretch of six consecutive contests against teams with winning records (they've got three left in this run -- at Oklahoma City, home vs. Denver and home vs. San Antonio) and could certainly use Nowitzki's presence.
But the loss means Dallas is four games below .500 and has lost six of its past seven. They need to try to steady things with six of their next nine games on the road. The Mavericks are just 4-12 away from American Airlines Center.
Play of the game: Sticking with the theme, let's give that one to Nowitzki too. He scored his first points of the 2012-13 season with a dunk with 26.6 seconds left in the first quarter. Nowitzki ran the floor, slipped in behind the defense and Darren Collison made a nice bounce pass as Nowitzki dunked it to close the deficit to seven points in the first. It was his first shot attempt as well, and an easy one.
Stat of the night: The Mavericks had no answer for San Antonio's 3-point shooting, especially Danny Green. He made seven 3-pointers (on 7-for-8 shooting) and as a team, the Spurs were 20-for-30 from 3-point land. The 20 made 3-pointers tied a franchise record for the Spurs and was just three shy of the NBA record. Dallas didn't shoot the ball poorly, but they couldn't stop Green and couldn't come close to matching the Spurs' perimeter shooting, not to mention 20 turnovers, something that has been a problem for this team most of the season.
Stat of the night II: Dallas is under .500 heading into Christmas Day for the first time since the 1999-2000 season. A little more than a week later in that season (Jan. 4, 2000), Mark Cuban bought the Mavericks.

United States District Court, D. New Mexico
August 24, 2017
STEVEN ROY CHRISTANELLI, Plaintiff,v.NANCY A. BERRYHILL,[1] Acting Commissioner of Social Security Administration, Defendant.
MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to
Reverse for Payment of Benefits, or in the Alternative, to
Remand for a Rehearing [Doc. 18] ("Motion"),
filed on September 20, 2016. The Commissioner responded on
November 14, 2016. [Doc. 20]. Plaintiff replied on November
23, 2016. [Doc. 21]. The parties have consented to the
undersigned's entering final judgment in this case. [Doc.
8]. Having meticulously reviewed the entire record and being
fully advised in the premises, the Court finds that the
Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") failed to apply
the correct legal standards in evaluating the opinions of Dr.
Morgan, Dr. Blacharsh, and Dr. Cherry. Accordingly, the
Motion will be granted, and the case will be remanded for
further proceedings. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g)
(sentence four).
of Review
standard of review in a Social Security appeal is whether the
Commissioner's final decision[2] is supported by substantial
evidence and whether the correct legal standards were
applied. Maes v. Astrue, 522 F.3d 1093, 1096 (10th
Cir. 2008) (citing Hamilton v. Sec'y of Health &
Human Servs., 961 F.2d 1495, 1497-98 (10th Cir. 1992)).
If substantial evidence supports the Commissioner's
findings and the correct legal standards were applied, the
Commissioner's decision stands and the plaintiff is not
entitled to relief. Langley v. Barnhart, 373 F.3d
1116, 1118 (10th Cir. 2004); Hamlin v. Barnhart, 365
F.3d 1208, 1214 (10th Cir. 2004); Doyal v. Barnhart,
331 F.3d 758, 760 (10th Cir. 2003). A court should
meticulously review the entire record but should neither
re-weigh the evidence nor substitute its judgment for that of
the Commissioner. Langley, 373 F.3d at 1118;
Hamlin, 365 F.3d at 1214.
evidence is such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might
accept as adequate to support a conclusion."
Langley, 373 F.3d at 1118; Hamlin, 365 F.3d
at 1214; Doyal, 331 F.3d at 760. The decision
"is not based on substantial evidence if it is
overwhelmed by other evidence in the record or if there is a
mere scintilla of evidence supporting it."
Langley, 373 F.3d at 1118; Hamlin, 365 F.3d
at 1214. While a court may not re-weigh the evidence or try
the issues de novo, its examination of the record as a whole
must include "anything that may undercut or detract
from the [Commissioner]'s findings in order to determine
if the substantiality test has been met." Grogan v.
Barnhart, 399 F.3d 1257, 1262 (10th Cir. 2005).
"The possibility of drawing two inconsistent
conclusions from the evidence does not prevent [the] findings
from being supported by substantial evidence." Lax
v. Astrue, 489 F.3d 1080, 1084 (10th Cir. 2007) (citing
Zoltanski v. F.A.A., 372 F.3d 1195, 1200 (10th Cir.
failure to apply the correct legal standard or to provide
this court with a sufficient basis to determine that
appropriate legal principles have been followed is grounds
for reversal." Jensen v. Barnhart, 436 F.3d
1163, 1165 (10th Cir. 2005) (internal quotation marks
Law and Sequential Evaluation Process
order to qualify for disability benefits, a claimant must
establish that he is unable "to engage in any
substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment which can be
expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be
expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12
months." 42 U.S.C. § 1382c(a)(3)(A); 20 C.F.R.
§ 416.905(a).
light of this definition for disability, a five-step
sequential evaluation process has been established for
evaluating a disability claim. 20 C.F.R. § 416.920;
Bowen v. Yuckert, 482 U.S. 137, 140 (1987). At the
first four steps of the evaluation process, the claimant has
the burden to show that: (1) he is not engaged in
"substantial gainful activity"; and (2)
he has a "severe medically determinable . . .
impairment . . . or a combination of impairments" that
has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year;
and either (3) his impairment(s) either meet or
equal one of the "Listings"[3] of presumptively
disabling impairments; or (4) he is unable to
perform his "past relevant work." 20 C.F.R.
§ 416.920(a)(4)(i-iv); Grogan, 399 F.3d at
1261. At the fifth step of the evaluation process, the burden
of proof shifts to the Commissioner to show that the claimant
is able to perform other work in the national economy,
considering his residual functional capacity
("RFC"), age, education, and work experience.
Grogan, 399 F.3d at 1261.
applied for supplemental security income on June 21, 2012.
Tr. 19. He alleged a disability-onset date of August 25,
2011. Id. His claims were denied initially and on
reconsideration. Id. Plaintiff requested a hearing
before an ALJ. Id. ALJ Ann Farris held a hearing on
June 11, 2014. Id. Plaintiff appeared with his
attorney. Id. The ALJ heard testimony from Plaintiff
and an impartial vocational expert ("VE"), Mary
Diane Weber. Tr. 19, 34-67.
The ALJ
issued her unfavorable decision on September 26, 2014. Tr.
28. At step one, she found that Plaintiff had not engaged in
substantial gainful activity since he applied for benefits.
Tr. 21. Because Plaintiff had not engaged in substantial
gainful activity for at least 12 months, the ALJ proceeded to
step two. Id. There, she found that Plaintiff
suffered from the following severe impairments: asthma, an
antisocial personality disorder, a post-traumatic stress
disorder ("PTSD"), and a major depressive
disorder. Id. At step three, the ALJ found that none
of Plaintiff's impairments, alone or in combination, met
or medically equaled a Listing. Tr. 22- 23.
none of Plaintiff's impairments met or medically equaled
a Listing, the ALJ went on to assess Plaintiff's RFC. Tr.
23-26. The ALJ found that:
[Plaintiff] has the [RFC] to perform light work as defined in
20 [C.F.R. §] 416.967(b) except he should avoid more
than moderate levels of pulmonary irritants. He is able to
make simple decisions with few workplace changes with no
exposure to the public. He can have superficial contact with

Try out your design concepts on-line to see what works – earlier than you rent contractors, buy materials or make pricey mistakes.
Besides the immediate flooring material decision, I also actually needed the future choice to use various runners (I actually love having the option to make enjoyable design updates on a whim!), so we did not want an excessive amount of design on the ground. But we had rectangular tiles put in herringbone model for just a little further interest and movement. They are beautiful bare, too. I can speak extra concerning the flooring in a future put up, however we're really proud of them.
I know it's generally best to take away walls for a more open flooring plan or bigger kitchen, however after living with our small kitchen now for about 8 weeks I even have to say I'm SO glad we didn't take away walls. I really LOVE working on this kitchen. It's is so practical and has a really snug layout. Plus there is sufficient room for family or friends to help prepare dinner and clear up, too. The not-completely-open kitchen additionally keeps the dinner mess just about out of view from the main residing areas. :). I prefer that!
What units us apart from the remaining is that an proprietor oversees every venture. Our household title is our brand and we uphold the integrity which you could anticipate from the Owings household. If your property wants upgrading and you're deciding on a worthwhile project, contemplate a minor kitchen remodel. By finishing this small renovation, you possibly can take pleasure in a extra lovely kitchen and recoup a big portion of your investment.
With a comparatively small kitchen (small compared to LARGER kitchens, of course), you possibly can't at all times add in some of the normal go-to design options like a cool island (or two) or a row of superior barstools at the counter or a tremendous eating desk. Eco-pleasant: Quartz and Corian counter tops use post-shopper recycled products, low-toxicity artificial supplies, and are ultra-sturdy. They're also low-upkeep.

Les Planas is a wonderful holiday house. It's in a great location within easy walk to a pretty village and has a wonderful swimming pool with stunning views and comfy sunlougers. Perfect both for those with or without children. The house is beautifully furnished with a very well equipped kitchen and plenty of eating space. The house easily accommodated three families. All the bedrooms are tastefully decorated with air conditioning & comfy beds. We had a wonderful family holiday and would highly recommend this special property.
We had such a wonderful week at Les Planas. We were a group of three families and the house fitted us perfectly; so much space, extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated too. Every detail was thought of. Modern kitchen and bathrooms, pretty bedrooms, air conditioning, heated pool...it was perfect! The views from the pool are fabulous! Bliss to lie by the pool but there are also lots of great things to do in the area. We would highly recommend Les Planas to anyone and can't wait to visit again...we will be back!
Les Planas is the kind of holiday house where you can relax as soon as you arrive in the knowledge that everything you need is catered for. The layout of the house makes it perfect for holidays with friends, giving the option of privacy as well as spacious communal areas. Stand outs for us were shared al fresco meals around the lovely shaded outside table and the wonderful views from the (safely gated) pool. Having an amazing bakery two minutes walk away was a huge bonus too - try the fig bread!
A beautiful house! A lovely pool which we used daily, a great outside dining area and stunning accommodation. Monoblet itself is a very small and really friendly village. We spent far too much time in the local bar and everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming, The local restaurant, again small, but really accommodating and the food is gorgeous! We travelled further afield a few times and the towns and villages recommended are worth visiting. We took a day trip to the beach (Palavas-Les-FLots), which was very busy and great fun. We tried too many local wines - they were all really nice!!
The neighbourhood
Local points of interest from Will & Sarah Galgey
- The house is located in the beautiful rural village, Monoblet, with amazing views of the Cevennes, France's largest regional park of some 200,000 acres. Ideal for walking, canoeing, cycling & central to many natural beauty spots and attractions.
- Within a 3 min walk from the house, there is a baker, post office, bar, simple French restaurant, playground and a riding school.
- Nearby towns of St Hippolyte-Du-Fort (8kms) and Anduze (13 kms) have good shopping facilities, open-air markets, cafes, banks, bars, restaurants as well as bike hire. Tennis courts, canoeing, pony trekking, river swimming, go-carting & golf are close by.
- Other attractions include some splendid caves - Grotte des Demoiselles and a steam train that runs regularly up the valley from Anduze to St Jean-du-Gard. The Bambouseraie and the Haribo Museum are also worth a visit.
- Further afield is Uzes with beautiful architecture. Explore little alleys & roads off the centre. If possible, go twice, once on a Saturday during the market & again when the market doesn't fill every inch of the town & you'll see it for all its glory.
- Not forgetting the beautiful town of Sommieres, Aigues-Mortes, Pont du Gard, Cirque de Navacelles, Nimes & Montpellier.

And finally, menswear has come to the Star Plaza. After a load of boys joining, and complaints about lack of boys clothes, I'm thinking all the boys must be glad that some boys clothing is in. Although some of it is inspired by Bruno Mars, I don't know whether boys will like that but they will now have more choice from now on.
Now, I think all they need is a shop completely full of boys clothes not like RIO Chicos but just a shop for boys not girls aswell so that the boys get much more choice.
It looks pretty good, alot of it is for the Fudge boys shop so if you are a boy and in need of some new garments so there because right now most of the menswear has gone into that shop as far as I can see.
Some of it has also gone to Stardoll boys (Bruno hat, safari parka, safari shorts and casual black shorts) but there is not much choice I'm afraid.
What do you think?
Do boys need more shops?

May 8 (UPI) — Scientists from College University Birmingham statement they're nearer to unlocking the actual hereditary reasons for kind two diabetes through determining 111 brand new chromosome areas, or even loci, about the human being genome.
Type two diabetes is among the the majority of common metabolic problems on the planet.
Previous research experienced recognized just seventy six loci,P. J. Williams Jerseys and incredibly handful of these types of loci had been present in the actual African-American populace, exactly where kind two diabetes is actually two times as common as with OUGH. UTES. descendants associated with Western origins.
Along along with co-workers from Imperial University Birmingham,Will Lutz Jerseys UCL scientists discovered 93 loci from the extra 111 had been present in each African-American as well as Western populations and eighteen tend to be Western particular.
The research discovered how the extra 111 loci as well as formerly recognized seventy six loci control the actual phrase associated with a minimum of 266 genetics which are alongside the actual recognized illness loci. Most had been discovered beyond gene html coding areas however coincided along with regulating "hotspots" which alter the actual phrase from the genetics within excess fat.
Studies are now being carried out to find out regardless of whether these types of loci adjust the actual phrase from the exact same genetics within additional tissue like the pancreas, lean meats as well as skeletal muscle mass related to kind two diabetes.
"No illness having a hereditary predisposition may be much more extremely looked into compared to kind two diabetes, inch Doctor. Nikolas Maniatis associated with UCL Inherited genes, Development as well as Atmosphere division, stated inside a pr release.Willie Roaf Jerseys "We've confirmed the advantages of gene mapping to recognize countless areas exactly where causal mutations may be throughout numerous populations, such as African-Americans. This gives a bigger quantity of indicated loci with regard to researchers to review and can permit all of us to construct a far more comprehensive image from the hereditary structures associated with kind two diabetes. "
Researchers examined 3 loci within Black as well as Western populations, discovering these people overlapped along with regions of the actual chromosome which experienced several regulating components as well as epigenetic guns together with prospect causal mutations with regard to kind two diabetes.Bobby Hebert Jerseys
Researchers intend to focus on the residual loci about the hereditary roadmaps along with heavy sequencing to locate causal mutations inside them.
The research had been released within the United states Diary associated with Human being Inherited genes.

The visitors drove forward from the kick-off and 'Hill keeper Mark Peat pushed a Paterson effort behind.
From the resultant corner kick the referee awarded Maybole a penalty kick for a Ferguson push on Reilly.
But 'Hill keeper Peat pulled off an excellent save from Stevenson's spot kick to keep the scoresheet blank.
Bellshill reacted to the early let off and a Brunton shot went close and a Byrne header from a Nichol cross was saved by Maybole keeper Weir.
Maybole striker Reilly then raced past three 'Hill defenders and Bellshill keeper Peat was at full stretch to keep out his well struck shot.
Peat then did well to keep out efforts from Cameron and Connor to deny the visitors and Henderson headed Love's free-kick clear as Maybole drove forward relentlessly.
But Bellshill withstood the pressure and a Nichol shot was saved by Weir and a Byrne header was blocked by Frame as the 'Hill fought back.
A Lee Nichol shot was saved by Weir before the keeper blocked a Byrne effort with his legs as Bellshill at last threatened the Maybole defence.
A 36th minute McQuade shot was headed clear by Peacock before a McGrath shot went close.
McQuade's shot three minutes later was headed clear by Frame and a Brunton attempt was saved by Weir before Bellshill went ahead in the 42nd minute with a sensational goal when Brophy fired the ball into the net from 45 yards.
In the last action of the first 45 minutes Peacock headed a Nichol shot behind and from the corner kick Weir pushed a McGrath header over the top.
Bellshill pushed the visitors back as the second half got underway and Nichol and S. Peat went close to increasing their lead.
Maybole's Frame fired a 60th minute free kick off the bar and Peat saved a Paterson attempt two minutes later as the visitors enjoyed a brief spell on the attack.
A 75 th minute Nichol shot was headed clear by Todd and 'Hill substitute Dingwall went close as Bellshill pushed forward in search of a second goal.
In the closing minutes Dingwall, Nichol and McQuade all went close and a stoppage time Nichol shot was headed off the goal line by Peacock.
Bellshill added three more valuable points to their total and kept a clean sheet for the third game in a row.
They play Neilston at home in a first round Central League Cup tie tonight (Wednesday).

Fire Truck Fiasco
By Steve Moreland, May 28, 2018
My wife Carol and I and our three-year-old son Will moved to our "new ranch" ten miles northeast of Merriman, Nebraska in the spring of 1986. We trailed 300 cow/calf pairs from our old ranch, which was 20 miles south of Merriman, and arrived on the newly acquired Ronald Snyder ranch the night of April 30th. We took official possession on May 1, 1986 so the timing was perfect. Daughter Tiffany was born on June 10th of that year; consequently life was quite hectic for a few months. Youngest son Brock came along in February of 1989, which completed our roster of immediate offspring.
Even though we owed lots of money on the land trade, we became the proud owners of what could be considered a nice "balanced ranch." It had about the right amount of hay ground to go with the pasture land. Fences had been well-maintained, and windmills were adequate. Several nice cedar tree shelter belts were part of the acquisition, along with modest but livable buildings. Three large lakes were on the ranch, as well as numerous ponds in nearly every pasture. A large tree-lot full of old cars, pickups, tractors, and other abandoned vehicles was also part of what could now be considered "ours." A friend John Hanson from Kaycee, Wyoming was kind of a "junque connoisseur," and he appraised this tree-lot full of rusty resources as a "hundred-thousand-dollar junk pile." I wasn't quite as impressed with all this mostly unusable stuff, and gave a lot of it away.
One item that really appealed to John Hanson was an old "deuce-and-a-half" M35 series 2 ½ ton 6x6 cargo truck, originally used by the United States Army. Way back in the summer of 1969, several ranchers in the Merriman Fire District had traveled together to Fort Carson, Colorado. Seven old outdated and antiquated military trucks were issued to them, and these were driven back to Cherry County in convoy fashion, to be modified and outfitted with fire-fighting sprayers. This truck on our ranch had long ago outlived its usefulness. It was parked out in the tall grass with trees growing up through it, and dirt from gopher mounds covered much of the frame. Some of the tires were missing, and there was no longer a cargo box on the truck. John already owned several old army vehicles, but he was always on the look-out to add to his collection. He practically lusted for an opportunity to own this one, too.
John Hanson had a little competition on this old truck with a couple other interested parties. My dad's cousin, Joe Kent, lived in Boulder, Colorado. His occupation was owning and renting out semi-trailers and cargo containers, to be used for storage at construction sites. Joe thought this old army truck could be beneficial to his business, and had several times asked me to price it to him.
Mick Downing ranched south of Merriman. He owned a big dragline excavator, and had a sideline business cleaning out drainage ditches in area meadows. He also really wanted to buy this old army truck, as he knew he could find use for it. I held off the would-be buyers for several years, as it was somewhat dubious as to who was the actual owner of the abandoned army truck.
Many years went by, and the old truck seemed to burrow deeper into the sand. After seven years had passed, I considered that to be the statute of limitations, and felt that it was long enough that I should be able to sell the truck as my own. I also figured that if anyone complained, I could charge enough "storage fee" to equal the value of the old military vehicle.
The best course of action seemed to be to notify all three potential buyers and give them opportunity to send in secret sealed bids. The highest bid would be honored with ownership of the truck. Making phone calls to these gentlemen, I gave them a due date a couple weeks down the road. At this time they all asked if I could give them a legal title, and I said I had no way of coming up with one. My advice was to bid whatever they thought it was worth, and take a chance on the title. This they did, and in due time the three bids were received. When the envelopes were opened, the low bids were $285 and $345, and I called John Hanson to inform him he was the winner with his $380 bid.
On the evening of May 7th, 1993 John Hanson arrived from Kaycee, Wyoming driving his old Army truck wrecker. He spent the night with my cousin, Ken Moreland, his wife Sharon, and their two boys Ian and Grant. The next day, May 8th was the annual spring branding for Ken and his parents Stan and Joy Lue Moreland. Reed and Patty Clark, from Star Valley in Wyoming, were also visitors for this branding. John Hanson spent that night at our Spearhead Ranch, and early the next morning I helped him put tires on the army truck I had sold him, so that he could tow it back to Kaycee, and he was soon on the road. Later that day, I took Reed and Patty Clark to the ranch of Dale and Viola Coleman, who lived north of Kilgore, NE. That ranch was for sale at the time, and Reed and Patty were looking for a place to buy. We toured the ranch, and Clarks were very interested. Somehow, Colemans decided not to sell just yet, so the trip was in vain. However it was a fun outing, and I very much enjoyed the adventure with Reed and Patty.
Five more years went by. My cousin John Fairhead was the secretary for our local fire district. One evening in March of 1998, he called to inform me that the district had received word that all of the old army trucks that had been issued to area ranchers needed to be turned in. I said, "I can't. The truck is no longer on our ranch." He sympathized, but that was about all he could do. Tim McGinley, president of the district, called to tell me the same thing. Since these military trucks were issued by the United States Forest Service, Tim advised me to call them to tell of my dilemma.
I called the Forest Service office in Lincoln, which was the location where the trucks were to be turned in. I explained that the truck was no longer on our ranch, and that it had looked to be just abandoned unsightly junk when we had purchased the ranch twelve years previous. Then I asked what would be done with these old trucks after they were turned in. The man stated that the vehicle identification numbers would have to be verified and declassified, and then they would probably be sold at a surplus auction held in Lincoln. I asked approximately what this old truck and others like it would bring. The man gave his educated opinion that it would bring between $300 and $800, depending on its condition. I said, "How about I write you a check for $1000, and we call the deal square?" Being the bureaucrat that he was, this would in no way be acceptable. He was quite adamant that I retrieve the truck, so that the forest service could once again have it in their possession.
As you can guess, I was slightly bent out of shape, but decided to try to play by the rules. My next obligation was to try to retrieve the truck. In all humbleness, I made a phone call to John Hanson at Kaycee, Wyoming. I asked him, "What have you done to that old truck? Did you fix it up, and do you use it to haul feed?" John confessed that he had pulled it in to his own "resource pile," and it had sat there since he got it to Wyoming. I asked, "Is there any chance I can buy it back, and give you a profit?" After hearing my tale of woe, John said all I'd have to do is give him his original investment price back. John is a fine friend, and I very much appreciated his understanding.
Both John Fairhead and I were winding down on our calving, and thought we could spare a little time to go to Wyoming. I had a fairly new 1997 Ford F350 4x4 power stroke diesel with turbo, and John owned a nice 30' flatbed gooseneck trailer with two sets of duals. We decided to hook the two together, and both journey the 340 miles to Kaycee to retrieve the truck. We left Merriman at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 7th, 1998 and arrived in Kaycee a little after 9 p.m. that night.
We got a motel room, had a late supper, and made arrangements to meet up with John Hanson at his ranch west of Kaycee the next morning. This we did after breakfast, and it didn't take too long to get the truck loaded.
John Hanson and his sisters and nephews were just getting a good start on their calving. John is a pilot, so he flies over the calving cows while two or three horseback riders are also out checking. If John spots trouble from the air, he drops a note to the riders. John Hanson invited John Fairhead and me to accompany him on his rounds, but there was only room for us to go one-at-a-time. John Fairhead went first. The trusty pilot was doing a lot of fancy maneuvering to check cows, and pretty soon the plane made a beeline for the hanger, by which I was standing. There was not much wind, but when the plane landed with the wind instead of against it, I figured there must be some kind of emergency. Sure enough, my cousin John was looking a bit green around the gills. Way back in our childhood growing up years together, car sickness had been a bit of an issue with him, so it stood to reason that the wild airplane flying could cause the same effect. He stepped out of the plane, got a breath or two of fresh air, and was soon as good as new.
It was my turn to fly in the back seat of John Hanson's Super Cub. The cows had already been checked, so he flew me pretty straight and level. It was a wonderful tour of that area, and I was duly impressed by the various kinds of terrain that can be found in a relatively short span of miles. We flew over the red wall and saw the "hole-in-the-wall" and the outlaw cave. We looked down on foothills and the Big Horns, and got to see a lot of marvelous ranching country. I greatly enjoyed our 45-minute flight. By the time we landed, John Fairhead was once again perfectly healthy. He and I got into my Ford pickup and headed back for Nebraska. John Hanson followed us to Kaycee, where we had dinner together before parting ways.
John Fairhead and I had a relatively uneventful trip back to the Sandhills. We didn't have a roadmap with us, and our only bobble was when we missed getting on Highway 20 at Orin Junction. We got Glenrock and Glendo mixed up. Missing the sign that said we'd gone by Glenrock, we knew we had to go by Glen-something-or-other. Seeing the sign to Glendo, we kept on trucking. We soon realized our mistake but since there was no place to turn our pickup and big flatbed hauling the army truck around on the interstate, we ended up going clear to Glendo. We did use that opportunity to fuel up, then went back to Orin Junction and headed east. We had left Kaycee at 1:30 p.m. and arrived back in Merriman by 9:30 p.m. We unloaded the army truck at John's ranch, which was closer to an improved road than where I live.
All was well, and the truck was eventually turned over to the bureaucrats with the Forest Service. The little mini-vacation from our own calving obligations gave John Fairhead and me a nice spring break, and sight-seeing from John Hanson's airplane was added frosting on the cake. The fire truck fiasco didn't turn out so bad after all, but there probably is a moral to the story. A person should never sell anything unless it belongs to said person in the first place, with a clear and unencumbered title. Lesson learned.

Le témoignage de Viken - My thoughts through the life.
Well if I really look at it and try to trace back to the earliest in my life when I started to have some really awful moments which also eventually sparked an internal conflict, it all dates back to the time when I was around 10 or 11 years old.
I have a very vague memory about that time but there was this one incident that I would never really be able to forget. While it was not just the one incident, it was a series of events that went on for almost a year. But it did start somewhere.
My family had always been very protective of me and they felt that I was safest around other family members and some really close family friends. I felt pretty safe with all of them except for this one particular family friend whom I addressed as "Uncle". While I always had no apparent reason to fear him but his presence was always somehow intimidating to me.

There's the original version, released in 1986 and on videotape, and the 2002 Director's Cut, available on DVD. The latter version is one of my all-time favorite movies. It compares quite favorably with Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" and is a modern classic. The theatrical release of 1986, shamefully butchered (chopped up and badly re-edited) by the mindless suits at Warner, and with its original Jerry Goldsmith score replaced by the rather trite Tangerine Dream soundtrack, is the version most people have seen. It was released on videotape as a children's movie. What it is, and was intended to be, is a fairy tale for adults. In fact, it's too intense for really young children. It's hard to say that the '86 version deserves any more than the "6" it's rated at on its IMDb main page. It is a disappointment, primarily because it's now impossible to watch without think how much better it could be. The feeling and tone of the film were ruined by its treatment. The Ridley Scott Director's Cut, released in 2002, is a completely different movie. If you haven't seen this version, you haven't seen the movie. It deserves a score of 9 or 10. It doesn't look like a movie made 20 years ago. Scenes which are vital to the tone of the film and the meaning of the story have been restored. The sumptuous original soundtrack, recorded with a full orchestra, has also been restored, and this adds more to the film than can be put into words. About the performances: A very young Tom Cruise is excellent as the hero. Tim Curry as the Lord of Darkness is awesome; his costume and voice alone are worth the cost of renting or buying the DVD. Mia Sara is absolutely stunning as Lily. She actually plays two different versions of her character, both wonderfully. This was her first role, a risk for Scott on such a big budget film, and she turned in the performance of her career. She's never been better, or looked more beautiful, than in this movie. The elves and fairies, both good and evil, are incredibly real-looking and believable. The costumes are perfect, and the sets are breathtaking, literally. One of the largest indoor sets ever constructed - a huge fantasy forest - was built for this movie. If you haven't seen this version, rent it. If you have kids, buy it for them; they'll watch it over and over. My daughter and her friends watch it repeatedly, she's probably seen it 50 times.

The Reviews for Legend (1985) 1080p
There really should be two different "Legend" movies listed.Reviewed bydocstrangeVote: 10/10
Ridley Scotts' fallen masterpiece "Legend" has, in it's own rite, become one of the most infamous, if not fascinating, legacies in Hollywood. In 1984, Ridley Scott, director of the famed sci-fi "Alien", set out to tell a defining fairy tale. Once he was joined by writer William Hjortsberg, the duo started off on a creative journey to conjure what would become the beloved film "Legend". The film was further more given the appropriate elements for the general fairy tale. The Princess, the Hero, the Villain, the Goblins, the Fairies, and the other magical characters and creatures such as the Unicorns and Honeythorn Gump. Seeing as the film is intended to be a definitive fairy tale, this would also mean tracing the modern genre back to its' roots, Grim style. Indeed, the completed product was pure in it's woven fables. Just as it is tender, and bright, is it also dark, surreal, nightmarish, and ultimately entrancing. More of the film deals with the overshadow of darkness in the magical land. A proper way to show the sudden switch from light and happy, to dark and fearsome indeed. In the story, we have the world, happy, beautiful, completely compelling in its' own nature. The dark truth lies within its' own reality. Darkness once ruled the world, but has since retreated into the lower levels of the earth, to groan and complain of times in a better existence. The world is happy, because the Unicorn, a very dear, and sacred animal, rules the land. These gorgeous creatures know only love and laughter, and thusly, protect the world from evil. They are attracted to one element in man kind, innocence. Princes Lily is pure at heart, as well as mind and spirit. Her soul friend, Jack, leads her to the creatures, as a gesture of love and affection. Quite unfortunately, however, the Lord Darkness has sent his own army after the creatures too. Once both sides are at the right place, and the wrong time, the Unicorns are harmed, and the earth, in danger. Thus begins a journey full of action, adventure, and suspense. Tom Cruise has only performed well in this one film, for me anyway. He is actually quite affective, and believable as the hero Jack. He shows both strength and bravery, to contrast with confusion and fear of the unknown. Very plausible indeed. Mia Sara is so gorgeous, naive, and pure as the Princess. Her characteristics consist of a blind ambition, love stricken playfulness, and of course, Innocence. Never, has this genre seen such a perfect portrayal. Now, Tim Curry turns in one hell of a performance. Thanks to modern film-making, Curry is a frightening, disgusting, and yet sexual portrayal of ultimate Darkness. The three stars are all mixed together in a real Fairy Tale, with a message at the end. (note, this message is only seen in the 2002 restored Directors Cut). I do not feel the need to bring up the controversy that ensued the principal photography, as it is well known by fans and film buffs of all kind. What I can say, is that Ridley Scott was certainly determined to give us the product of his imagination. That said, he gave us a real fantasy. he has given us a real story of magic,, love, hate,adventure, and all kinds of elements that create what a film like this should be. One thing to truly be mentioned, however, is the late Jerry Goldsmith. This master at film composition of the musical persuasion, gave us his ultimate best, and that was being generous and forgetting about getting stabbed in the back during the processing of "Alien". Again, the great musician was tricked, and his beautiful score was thrown out the window from US versions, leaving the film to sugary and sappy. Even worse, important scenes were cut, leaving much of the film uneven and seemingly rushed. Sad enough, this kind of treatment happened a year earlier with 1984's "Supergirl". Fortunately, however, we were given the true version of the film in mid 2002, and rightly so. The film has since then, been seen, and loved by fans as myself, who loved it way back when....as well as now. The best I can say, is that this movie has a full blown mastermind to it, and the producers and creators etc finally gave the film justice. Same happened with "Supergirl" in 2000. Bottom line, this film is brilliant, and touching, and an ever- glorious masterpiece!
Never did the phrase "a beautiful film" have more relevance than in this wonderful piece of adult fantasy. Make no mistake, this masterpiece, Ridley Scott's fourth film (it followed BLADE RUNNER) was never intended for children. Those who have written it off as a kids' movie totally betray their limitations and inability to see what is being offered here. A youthful Tom Cruise was such a good choice as Jack, the forest dweller destined to plunge the world into darkness and then have but one opportunity to restore the light. Mia Sara is the beautiful princess, part Cinderella, part angel, all virgin! and Tim Curry? well, what a simply staggering contribution as the Lord of Darkness. Totally unrecognizable both visually and audibly but what a performance. All the Ridley Scott trademarks are here, the back-projected blue light, the filtered scenes of wonderment, central characters in a crisis, the enigma of life itself. If anything, LEGEND is better now than when it was released. In '85 it received critical praise - just no-one went to see it! Well that's not strictly true. I attended the Sydney premiere and sat thru it entranced as others fidgeted, whispered, and generally brought attention to their limited attention spans and lowered perceptions! Certainly it is a film that on one level children could relate to and even enjoy but it is a far deeper film with a host of reflective ideas and quite magical concepts. What really IS the Lord of Darkness? What is the significance of the Unicorns? What becomes of the innocence we leave behind in childhood? If none of this interests you, make sure you avoid this film!

The following review appears in The Washington Post's 2018 Spring Dining Guide.
Brothers and Sisters
Nothing about this restaurant in the Line hotel in Adams Morgan suggests it came from a corporate playbook. The big lobby, flanked with bars on either side, turns out to be the dining room, and a lack of staff uniforms suggests no one's in charge. The setting, in a former church, has you looking skyward at a pointy chandelier fashioned from organ pipes. Then there's the menu, a quirky combination of items a hotel needs to have (Caesar salad, a pasta) and more imaginative fare (a hot dog bun stuffed with seared octopus takes the cake, and speaking of cake, you should save room for a slice of something lovely from pastry chef Pichet Ong). There is method behind the madness, and his name is Erik Bruner-Yang, the hipster chef who made H Street NE a better place to graze with Toki Underground and later Maketto. The script here calls to many tastes, with duck pasta in a consommé for the discerning soup crowd and a burger built with brisket and Mornay sauce for sharing — four ways, with a steak knife plunged into the middle of the plate-size bun and a raft of bland fries (boo!) to support the construction. Meanwhile, the twin bars wet your whistle with classic and contemporary drinks. Brace yourself for a mob, but also a ton of fun. Marriott, eat your heart out.

The following review was originally published Jan. 17, 2018.
In a hip new hotel, Brothers and Sisters makes a stylish splash
The Line Hotel DC took forever to open, but the moment it did, last month in Adams Morgan, the brand raised the stakes for lodging in the nation's capital.
Quick, name another hotel where a dweller can find live radio broadcasts in the lobby and call for a room-service bartender.
Carved from a century-old church, the venue brings together eating opportunities from some of the Mid-Atlantic's best-known chefs: Spike Gjerde, the James Beard award-winner from Woodberry Kitchen in Baltimore, and Erik Bruner-Yang, whose popular Maketto on H Street NE combines the flavors of Cambodia and Taiwan.
[Clean the restrooms, turn up the lights — and 8 other things restaurants should do better]
Among the first of six (!) drinking and dining options to open at the Line, owned by the New York-based Sydell Group, is Brothers and Sisters. Developed by Bruner-Yang, the 166-seat restaurant occupies the spacious lobby and its east and west flanks, each with a bar of its own. Guests sitting just inside the entrance can look up to see a spiky chandelier fashioned from organ pipes. Patrons led to the tables to the sides will no doubt be flipping on their flashlights to read about the food and drinks. Like too many restaurants, this one keeps its diners in the dark.
Bruner-Yang, who started talks with the owners in 2012, opted to challenge himself with his first hotel menu. Instead of cooking the Asian food for which he is known, he went out on a limb with the idea of "an American restaurant in a foreign country," in this case either Japan or Taiwan, and catering to the natives. As expected of a hotel, this one offers a Caesar salad and hamburger (both pleasing), but the usual suspects are outnumbered by dishes with international roots and several serious splurges, as in caviar tray service for $160.
The menu comes with a notable design quirk. The contents are presented backward. The last page starts with appetizers. Hebrew readers catch the aberration, says Bruner-Yang, and "left-handers are pumped." Speaking as a right-handed Methodist, I find the layout off-putting, an irritation that tends to be forgiven once a dish such as chicharrones lands on your table. Served as a single shard of deep-fried pork rind, the appetizer is tricked out with espelette pepper, dried nori and crumbled diced pork fat. "You can't eat these in a library," jokes a server as he presents the noisy dish, whose crunch moves the needle on my sound meter.
No hunger has been left unaddressed. For the pasta fan, there are knife-cut noodles tossed with pork-fennel sausage and broccoli rabe; vegetarians have buttery avocado set on five-grain (count 'em!) pilaf to consider. Honestly? The latter tastes a little too healthy; spring instead for the Brussels sprouts draped in creamy hot sauce. The most refined dish is the duck consommé, its heady layers of flavor teased from dashi and wonton broth, a clear liquid canvas for delicious hats of duck pasta. Dishes are brought out not in courses, but as they're ready. From the "simply cooked" category come a marvelous and juicy pork chop accompanied by subtly sweet onion-apple soubise, but also a roast half chicken served tepid with celery root puree: sad on sad.
A few dishes put conversation on hold while diners absorb their novelty. One of them is a chicken chowder bowl, Bruner-Yang's response to a hotel that wanted chicken noodle soup on its menu. Distancing himself from noodle soups — he has been there, done that, including at the ramen-focused Toki Underground — the chef serves his creamy chowder in the sturdy "bowl" of hollowed-out milk bread. Another talker, also found in the "bread" category, is the snappy octopus hot dog. Some customers refer to the five inches or so of seared cephalopod slipped into a toasted potato roll as "hoctodog," but I simply know the link as delicious, dotted with pesto and yogurt. Even the french fries, a side dish, stand apart not just for their full potato flavor, but their packaging in a ceramic sleeve designed to look like a fry bag.
Brothers and Sisters is no one-man show. Bruner-Yang recruited some of the best in the business to enliven the Line. They include bar veteran Todd Thrasher, one of the region's pioneering cocktail craftsmen, to develop the drinks (and wine) menu and Thai native Pichet Ong, the former executive pastry chef for the acclaimed Jean-Georges Vongerichten,
to come up with a sweets list. Leading the kitchen day-to-day, meanwhile, is chef de cuisine Harper McLure, formerly of Brabo in Alexandria.
Thrasher, expected to open a rum distillery and tiki bar at the Wharf this spring, is luring imbibers with a host of classic American cocktails, iconic hotel bar drinks and some Line originals, one of which swirls gin, Cocchi Rosa (an aperitif wine), red shiso syrup and vitamin C powder. Ask for the pleasantly herby and floral "It's Not Just for Osaka Anymore." I also applaud what the future holds: Roving punch carts in the lobby, which feels like a cross between a train station and a university library when you look up to see groups of people strolling in with luggage or clusters of laptop users settled in with drinks and snacks at the long, dark tables outfitted with reading lights.
Ong's desserts are very much to my taste, more savory than sweet. The chef reimagines cheesecake as a white berg marrying three kinds of fromage, including goat cheese, and slips banana and chocolate mousse into his tall wedge of chocolate cake covered in whipped cream. One night, I looked up to see Ong with a big glass bowl of strawberry trifle. "Help yourself," he said. What looked like a bribe was in fact the pastry chef extending the invitation to any party ordering two or more desserts. Also a bit of brand building on the part of Ong, who told Bruner-Yang, "I'm going to walk around the dining room." Go, Ong! Some of us can never have too much table-side service.
Bruner-Yang has another restaurant up his sleeve here: Spoken English, which he has described as a standing-room-only "restaurant speakeasy." (A Rake's Progress, from Gjerde, is expected to roll out with a game focus by the end of January.) Already, though, the fledgling Line is making a splash, the ripple effects of which are sure to lift the lodging landscape and burnish the neighborhood's cred as a seriously fun food scene.

Helping you find that business you can rely on
Are you looking for a trader you can trust but struggling to find the right one?
Telford & Wrekin Council's Trading Standards team has launched a new accreditation scheme for local businesses. The aim of the Trading Standards Accredited Scheme (TSA) is to offer support to our businesses and give consumers access to traders they can rely on.
This new scheme follows on from the very successful Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin Trader Register which operated for more than 10 years.
TSA includes businesses such as plumbers, painters and decorators, electricians, builders and gardeners who offer services ranging from simple repairs to large scale projects.
Building on the success of the previous scheme, TSA now welcomes applications from all business sectors.
Members sign up to a Code of Practice which sets out minimum standards for customer care and standards of workmanship. In the event of a problem, members have agreed to work with Trading Standards in accordance with a Complaint Resolution Procedure.
Cllr Richard Overton, Telford & Wrekin Council's Cabinet Member for enforcement said: "This isn't one of those schemes where traders simply pay their fee and are automatically allowed to join. Our Trading Standards team will check all the businesses that apply for this scheme. The checks will include making sure they are who they say they are, that they have all the insurances, accreditations and certificates they need to do their work and whether there have been any complaints against them.
"Even if they pass those initial tests, they will continue to be monitored by our Trading Standards team"
Don't be a victim! Do your homework and look for that business you can trust. Visit www.tsaccredited.co.uk

Arabian Mau
As its name suggests, this animal is native of the Arabian Peninsula. Rather compact, it is medium in size. Its hair is short and fairly firm, and can be white, black, brown and grey. It is a gentle and intelligent cat and an excellent hunter. It is quite independent but remains close to its owner in general. It is also a "talkative": indeed, it meows a lot, especially when it is happy. Did you know that it lives in the wild for thousands of years in the deserts of the Gulf?
