Finch From American Pie Looks Completely Different Now
Despite many, many sequels and franchises filling up the cinemas these day, generally the originals will always be the best.
One such film was American Pie. The first was undoubtedly the best of a franchise that started so well but unfortunately just went further and further down hill thanks to some ill-advised spin-offs where the only recognisable character was Jim's dad. Then again Jim's dad is pretty cool…
Spin-offs aside, American Pie launched the careers of some of today's most well-known actors. Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Mena Suvari and Jason Biggs, among others, all went on to bigger (if not always better) things. And they're still at it almost 20 years later.
Here's reminder of the coming age of tale:
One of the most memorable characters, however, was Paul Finch, a.k.a Sh*tbreak. The suave high-schooler who played golf and drank mochaccino. He also stole the show by sleeping with Stifler's mum after his fool-proof plan to get a prom date massively backfired thanks to laxatives being put in said mochaccino.
Now, 19 years after the film came out – how time flies – Finch seems to have blossomed. After being the slightly weedy, nerdy kid in American Pie (he did everyone's Latin homework and, alas, wasn't one off the hench lacrosse players like Stifler and Oz), actor Eddie Kaye Thomas is all of a sudden catching the eyes of quite a few people.
In the time since playing the underdog Paul Finch, Eddie has gone on to star in the Harold & Kumar films, Family Guy, American Dad and, more recently, the TV series Scorpion.
And while some of the American Pie cast have also aged very well (hello Jim's dad, again), good old Sh*tbreak seems to be turning the most heads these days.
Check him out at a recent Comic Con event:
And another:
Just one more for luck:
It's a far cry from his Sh*tbreak days:
In an interview with Bello, Eddie spoke about what it's like being recognised for a character as infamous as Finch.
He said:
I'd say someone calls me "Stifler's mom", probably averages to once a day. Sometimes it doesn't happen every day, so it'll happen twice on another day. More often than not, it's just people thinking they know me, because they can't really place where they recognize me from. It took me a few years to just tell them that it's from American Pie.
People usually think I went to high school with them, or they'll ask me where I grew up. I used to feel like I was bragging when I told them they knew me from American Pie, but I've realized that it just saves a lot of time to just tell them that right off the bat […] it's just become part of my life.
Embrace it, Eddie. It's obviously working wonders for you. I for one would love to sit down for a flask of delicious mochaccino with you. Cheers.

Lesson number one: don't lie to your customers.
So I phoned up Orange last night, having decided I'd give them one more chance to prove their worth before switching my allegance to a provider that didn't charge me nearly £70 for a slightly-above average month's worth of usage. Apparently they could add a few more inclusive minutes onto one of those silly animal packages off their web site, but still nothing close to the offer from 3 that I ended up signing up for today.
I explained that if it helped I was happy not to have a new mobile phone from them, if it helped bring down the monthly cost a little. After all, I'd be saving them at least £200 by not demanding the latest N70 from them for free, having only had my current phone for just over a year and quite liking it, thank you very much.
No go, apparently. Something about me being within my contract still and having to sign up for another one if I want to change my price plan before June. New contact equals new phone. Right.
So despite not really wanting a new phone, I now have a new Sony Ericsson K610i sitting next to me on the surface, ready for when my 3 contract begins next month (apparently you can delay the start of it by 30 days, rather like a student wanting to go to Africa before starting Uni, but in this case for me who wants to live out the remaining 7 weeks of my Orange contract before switching). Unfortunately my old Nokia 6230 just isn't good enough for the blisteringly fast 3G connections required these days…
The new phone isn't the latest model there is around, but it's still a phone. I can make calls, receive calls and do a couple of pointless other things with it should I have the urge. It's not "reconditioned", as Orange assured me it would be when I spoke to them about disconnecting yesterday, a clear exegerration of the truth that actually made me more determined to leave, not less.
I was reading yesterday in the Observer that apparently people replace their mobile phones every eighteen months. Hardly surprising really, given how difficult it is not to do so. There was a time when wooing me with new shiny things would have persuaded me to put up with the bum price plan I was on, but not any more. Now I get to spend the extra £30 a month on other exciting things, like car insurance. Mmm.
Loving: Sitting on the river, drinking wine. Drinking lots of water now.

Arguments for a significant bottom and the Market is going higher:
- The McClellan Oscillator is shown above recently hit a record-breaking reading of -350 (when done in the past, which is rare, it ends up tiring the bears out).
- Positive Divergence is shown with recent price action.
- The McClellan Oscillator and NYSI Summation Index (both indicators derivative of each other) are not showing impressive positive breadth numbers, which leads me to believe the Market is topping out, but I've been wrong for over a year.
To answer the question where the Market is heading? Based on the information I use to read the Market, I would say it could go either direction. I'll let the reader come to their own conclusion based on the chart posted above!

Flying Unicorn, FUL, Kit of the Month, KOM

Hi everyone!!
I have another project share for you, created with Flying Unicorn's July Kit of the Month.
When I first saw the kit, I knew that I was going to save a bunch of products to make myself a mini album. You see, I went to visit my Daughter and Grand-kids in Vermont, before they left for Japan....hubs is in the Army. I was able to get a few projects done before the reveal, but still had the mixed media products, and tons of paper and embellies left, so it was perfect!! I had also decided to include some goodies I purchased, and older products from my stash......I'm trying to use stuff up!! Right, as if I can use it all up in my life time!
Anyways, here's my mini....
For the cover, I used the two chipboard canvases, and layered them over each other. The larger piece was black, and I used that to my advantage....colors look much brighter on a black background. I used the stencil sand light molding paste, and then slathered on Ginger Coral and Tea Stain Color Bloom. Once dry I rubbed on a bit of the Ancient Coin Paint. I also painted the edges of the top piece, and added a piece of the 49th & Market papers. I used a grungeboard 'V' from Tim Holtz, and gessoed, then sprayed it with the above mists and Cobalt.
I layered my flowers and embellies over top, tucked in some fussy cut flowers, and then added some fun fur yarn for more interest.
I found a reproduction of an old map of Vermont, wrapped it in a piece of fabric, and then added some flowers, embellies and more grungeboard. All of my pages were distressed with Ground Espresso Ink.
This is the back side of the map page, which I folded over. The doily is the leftover from the next page, and is from my stash. I then added a piece of paper, and a few embellies.
I decided that I wanted a piece of transparency in the mini, and since I didn't have any fancy ones in my stash, I made my own. This is regular transparency that you can write on, I just stenciled over top with the gold paint and stencil from the kit. Then I addded a piece of the doily, some ephemera and glued it in an 'L' fashion, to make a pocket for the tags.
I just dated myself! LOL!! Anyways, I founf this little book at a museum we went to, and I couldn't passs it up. If you want to know how I added it in as an insert, let me know, and I'll do a tutorial.
These three pockets were made with Prima Vintage Emporium papers, I left the top open, so I could add more pics.
Two pieces of the 49th & Market Papers were glued together. I didn't add anything to this page, as I wasn't sure how I would use it. Besides I like looking at the flower.
The corrugated window, probably about 10 years old, if not more, was made into a photo pocket by layering it over a 6 x 6 paper.
Another pocket page made with the Prima papers....I had intended for the pocket to be on the side, but, ended up putting the binding holes in the wrong place.
Love the water pump!! I added a bit of Light Patina and Green Gold Acrylic Paint, by rubbing it on with my fingers.
Another pocket page, again I left this one rather plain.
The right page is another piece of grungeboard, that I had embossed a long time ago for another project. I added a piece of paper to this side.
The left side is the grungeboard, slathered in all of the above mists, and some Coral and Gold Paint. The right side pages, are pieces cut from a bag, that my purchases at the museum, came in. I cut it down to make the two pocket pages, and added the packaging from the 49th & Market flowers as tags.
The right side page is an envelope, made with the 49th & Market papers, and I added some of the Prima papers, to make photo mats.
More pockets made with small envelopes. I stamped them and added ephemera bits from the papers.
Of course I added tags, and apparently forgot to add twine...lol!!
The inside back cover, I glued on and attached the twig with hemp cord from the kit. And then glued on some pretty velvet flowers.
The back cover, kept very simple.
I have to say that this was one of my fave kits ever! I have used up every last bit of paper, and the majority of the embellies. I am down to the alpha sticker page from the Prima papers (I'll use those when I add my pics), a couple of flowers and cork stickers. I'd say I did very well in using up this kit!! And I used up a few bits and pieces from my stash.
Hope you enjoyed!!

Today, I have another layout share for you, created with Flying Unicorn's July Kit of the Month.
Again, no closeups.....sorry!! This layout, started out much different than it is. The mixed media paper under my photo, is where it all began! I had taken one of the 49th & Market papers, added a ton of mixed media, and was planning on using it for my background, but it just didn't look right. So change of plans......
For the mixed media paper, I started by rubbing on some Distress Inks in Gathered Twigs, Ground Espresso and Rusty Hinge. Next, I misted with water, and wiped off with a paper towel. I then used the stencil, and sprayed with the Tea Stain Color Bloom. Then I took out the Ground Espresso re-inker, placed some on my mat, and then splattered it on with a brush. Once the ink was dry, I stamped with Andy Skinner Industrial Stamp and Sienna Ink.
As I mentioned, it just didn't look right under my photo, so I decided to tear the paper into strips, and then glue them down where I was planning on having my pic, as well as at the top corner. I matted my pic on some blue-gray cardstock. I then pulled out the Prima papers, chose the ones that had more red, and started adhering under my pic, adding more and more layers. Once I was happy with the matting, I glued the whole thing down on top of the mixed media strips.
Using the leftover espresso ink, I dipped the edges of the darker flowers into it. I chose to remove one of the flower centers, and replace it with a button from the kit. I wanted to add more blue, so I used Martha Stewart's Arabesque Flower punch and more of the blue-gray cardstock. I layered them under my flowers, and then added a couple of the Prima stickers. Still, it needed something else, So I pulled out the Prima Stitches Stamp and Stormy Sky Distress Ink. I just went around the edges with it. And just for fun, and to remember the date, I pulled out a roller date stamp, and added 'May 25, 2016' here and there on my background. As a final touch, I went around the edges with Ground Espresso Ink.
Hope you enjoyed,

I am back from vacation, and ready to show you my projects created with Flying Unicorn's July Kit of the Month!!! Today I am starting off with a layout of my newest Grand-son Jackson. He is so stinking cute!!!
Once again I have no closeups. I was in a rush to get my projects done before I left on vacation, so I took minimal photographs.
I started by adding a wash of gesso to my background, covering mainly the top 2/3 of the paper. I ran some molding paste through the stencil, going across the paper, making sure to add mountains and valleys or highs and lows. Once that was dry, I misted with the Tea Stain, and Pastel Cobalt sprays and added Ground Espresso ink to my edges.
I fussy cut some of the ephemera and aged with the same ink, and used these pieces as photo mats. I also cut a slit in the envelope, to insert more ephemera as well as a Wellington Bear Topper. In the bottom corner I fussy cut the leaves, aged with the brown ink, added splatters with the same color re-inker, and then added touches of the gold paint to the edges and layered them within my flower cluster. I also added another Wellington Bear and the wood icon 'grow' as my title.
The flourish was coated with the brown ink, to give that corner some weight. The floral chippies, were gessoed and sprayed with the Cobalt mist, and once dry I added more gold paint here and there. I felt that the clusters needed some smaller flowers in brighter colors, so I pulled out some French Riviera flowers from my stash, and tucked them in under the clusters.
That's all for today!!
Happy Scrapping!

I spent about 30 minutes making my first creation with Canva; if you haven't given it a try it's really easy to use and a lot of fun. Students can create all sorts of graphic images to use in various projects or as a stand alone item. Be sure to also check out their new Design School too.
I wrote up this thought about a week ago about the power that having a learner first mindset has not only for ourselves but also for our students and children. If we're truly a "learner first", how could we not be open to new ideas and pedagogies to change teaching, learning, and school in general for the better?

Y3 discover Stone Age to Iron Age
Our Y3s recently went on a journey through time, piecing together the past using evidence and experimental archaeology. They took part in a fully interactive workshop designed to encourage them to consider the relationship between technological advancement and lifestyle from Stone Age to Iron Age. Children learnt how people in these times lived and had the opportunity to make arrow heads, did bow drilling and also made stone axes and clay pots. They took part in role play, dressed up and had their faces painted. During the day, they also investigated different metals such as iron, tin and copper and learnt how they were used in day to day life. Take a look at some of their photos!

text: blunt_force 3 Posted December 2, 2019 Hi all; So I bought my first brand new electric guitar sealed in the box from Schecter and to my disappointment it has a fret buzz. What should I do, exchange it or get it setup properly? I'm worried that even after it setup by the professionals the buzz would come back! I'm also worried that they might have to do major modifications to the guitar to get rid of the buzz. I just don't want to get stuck with it after the 45 days exchange policy or gives me headache down the road. What should I do guys? Please give me an advise like this was your guitar. Thank you.

Blues should be a dandy
The former Maple Leaf prospect, or the former OHL champion in the league's smallest market?
That's just one of the questions facing prognosticators as the Stanley Cup finale opens this week between the Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues. Tuukka Rask (yep, he was a Leaf draft pick – 21 st overall in 2005) takes on Cinderella-story Jordan Binnington (yep, he was in goal for a surprising Owen Sound Attack club that took the Robertson Cup in 2011 in a Game 7
overtime win).
Goaltending is just one of the puzzlers – as to who has the edge – in what promises to be (hopefully?) the wrap-up to a terrific playoffs.
WHO HAS THE EDGE IN NET? Boy oh boy, this is a tough one and one that might not have a distinct answer. Rask is the leading candidate for Conn Smythe honours; Binnington isn't even a full step behind.
As mentioned in this space last week, Rask was merely brilliant versus Carolina and very good against Columbus and Toronto.
Binnington outplayed Connor Hellebucyk, Ben Bishop and Martin Jones in succession.
Both are technically sound and razor quick.
EDGE: Draw
CAN RYAN O'REILLY MATCH UP WITH PATRICE BERGERON? Well, he's close. These are two of the NHL's best two-way centres. Actually, they might be the two absolute best.
A slight advantage goes to Bergeron as he's been here before and let's face it, we're deep into clutch-crunch time right now.
EDGE: Bergeron
WITH TWO LEGIT COACH OF THE YEAR CANDIDATES, DO YOU TAKE CASSIDY OR BERUBE? Nobody's done more in such a short time frame than Craig Berube.
As well documented and discussed, the Blues were below even the Ottawa Senators near the halfway point of the year. Berube was brought in as head coach in late November after the firing of Mike Yeo. The results are pretty obvious.
When they mention coach-of-the-year candidates, somehow Bruce Cassidy's name slips through the five-hole.
What Cassidy is, is a highly-skilled communicator. That's essential when heading up a team laced and loaded with quality veterans who've 'been there before.'
Cassidy, the former Ottawa 67, does not lead with a heavy hand. He has a grip on this team to be sure.
"His technique and knowing when to push the right buttons has obviously worked pretty well for us," forward Chris Wagner told the Boston Globe.
EDGE: Draw
WHO WINS THE 'REST' WAR? This will be interesting. The B's have been off for 11 days. Likely they'll need at least a couple of periods to get the engines warmed up. The Blues have been resting up since ousting San Jose last Tuesday.
EDGE: Blues
IS HOME-ICE AN ADVANTAGE FOR THE BRUINS? Likely not. St. Louis won all three games it needed to win in the opening round against Winnipeg, one of the toughest rinks in the league. Boston's home crowd has been one of the quieter, less-intimidating ones in these playoffs (not like the old Boston Garden days when the fans practically sat in the players' laps).
EDGE: Blues
WHO OWNS THE MORE SPECIAL OF THE SPECIALTY TEAMS? This has been a dynamic post-season for the Bruins on the power play.
Both on the penalty kill and power play, Boston's been very, very good. The B's have 17 power play goals in their 17 playoff games and ranks first at 34 per cent success.
Boston is third in the league in penalty kill effectiveness. St. Louis has been less successful – ranks ninth on the power play and just 11 th shorthanded.
EDGE: Bruins
PREDICTION: Boston's core has been their before. I like their overall gameand depth.
We'll stick with our original prediction – Bruins in six games.

As we age, it is more and more important to stay fit with regular exercise. Some seniors are understandably intimidated; they may have physical limitations or fear possible injury. Thankfully, there are many easy and fun exercises for seniors, and adult assisted living communities such as Poet's Walk offer fitness classes and exercise programs tailored to the capabilities of our assisted living residents.
The Importance of Physical Activity for Seniors
By improving the body's strength, balance, and flexibility, regular exercise is able to assist in continued mobility, a concern that many seniors face. It also helps to prevent heart disease, diabetes, and many other common health concerns faced by the elderly.
Staying physically active also has mental and emotional benefits. Many seniors – especially those receiving memory care, experience difficulties sleeping properly. Regular light exercise can help them achieve deep, restful sleep. Exercise is also good for depression and anxiety, improving mood, and building confidence. All of these benefits help seniors maintain their independence and happiness.
Easy Assisted Living Exercise Programs For Seniors
Fortunately, there are a variety of balance and strength exercises for older adults that can be done almost anytime and anywhere. At Poet's Walk memory care communities, exercise classes even provide social opportunities. Here are a few examples of fun and simple exercises your loved one can participate in as an assisted living resident:
- Senior Chair Exercises: Chair exercises aim to strengthen the different muscle groups vital for maintaining the body's mobility. Through simple, repetitive movements like toe taps and shoulder rolls, seniors can engage in low-impact exercises suitable for their mobility levels.
- Yoga & Tai Chi For Seniors: Yoga and Tai Chi are great for every fitness level and are excellent for balance and flexibility. Because there is a meditative element to both activities, they are beneficial for memory, concentration, and mental functioning.
- Stretching Exercises For Seniors: Stretches are convenient and can be done almost anywhere. They reduce stiffness and can help to ease pain. Stretches also improve the body's flexibility and range of motion.
- Walking Exercises For Seniors: Walking is great for building physical endurance, which is important for maintaining mobility, a common concern of older adults. Poet's Walk communities have beautiful grounds that are perfect for daily walks – alone or in groups.

Poet's Walk understands that good health is not just physical; emotional and mental well-being is just as important! Taking a holistic approach to wellness, we are proud to help our seniors create and maintain easy exercise regiments.

To serve as a Peace Corps volunteer on the coast of Colombia is such a blessing. I am able to jog in the morning while enjoying gorgeous views of the Sierra Nevada mountains, spend weekends at beautiful local beaches, and slow down my North American-paced rhythm of life to adjust to a more cogela suave attitude. What could possibly beat this experience? Having the opportunity to be apart of the Immersion Program on the stunning Caribbean island of San Andrés!
The Immersion Program is held at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia Sede Caribe on two islands: San Andrés and Providencia. It's funded by Colombia's Ministry of Education, and is one of the biggest efforts that the Ministry has developed to improve bilingual education in Colombia. Public school teachers from all over Colombia apply to the Immersion Program and have all expenses paid once they are accepted. There are two immersion programs a year: one in June and one in November. Each is one-month long.
There were 120 teachers who attended the Immersion Program on San Andrés and 60 teachers who attended in Providence. Teachers were broken up into 6 different classes, based on their English proficiency levels. Every day, they had English classes in the morning from local tutors, who were native English speakers from the island. The PCVs helped to teach two hours of those daily English classes, focusing on speaking activities that were related to the theme of the morning.
After lunch at the posadas (family-owned bed-and-breakfasts where we stayed during the program), teachers participated in different activities. Twice a week, they attended our TEFL workshops. Each PCV had two workshops prepared, and the groups rotated to see each of our sessions. On the other afternoons, they worked on class projects, attended technology sessions at SENA, or participated in other cultural activities. In addition to the Monday-Friday schedule, cultural activities were organized every Saturday morning and PCVs were always encouraged to attend.
Working at the Immersion Program on San Andrés was a beautiful experience. The teachers who participated in the program were very excited to learn and practice English, the local tutors were professional and organized, and I gained a lot of professional experience through the opportunities offered there. The island is absolutely breathtaking and the culture is fascinating, due to the mix of groups that exist there today. I strongly encourage anyone to apply who has considered going for the next round in June!

For several years now, deep web marketplace the Silk Road has been providing technology journalists with sensational headlines. The site facilitates the "anonymous" sale and purchase of illicit goods. Sign up, make a purchase, pay in Bitcoin and wait for your ounce of weed to arrive in the post. It was supposed to be the biggest thing to hit drug dealing since crack.
So you can only imagine the excitement generated in the bedroom-offices of these online journalists when they discovered that the Silk Road had set up an "Armory" – that is, an online gun store. Within days, readers of their quality publications were being regaled with tales of "guns available for sale online".
But there was one problem: there was no evidence of a gun sale ever being made on The Armory. Ordering a gram of coke is one thing, but shelling out for an overpriced Glock from a seller with no reputation is another. It came as no surprise when the Silk Road decided to shut its Armory down.
Another small issue the tech hacks failed to mention was the reality of using the Silk Road website: it's terrible. The site is slow, often unusable and suffers from frequent downtime. On one occasion Silk Road users couldn't access their accounts (and thus the millions of dollars in Bitcoin stored in them) for over two weeks.
The market was right for someone to challenge Silk Road's monopoly, and that's exactly what happened. Two rivals sprang up: Atlantis and Black Market Reloaded. Both sites were vastly more responsive and gained a reputation for reliability. Most interesting was the "Firearms" section of Black Market Reloaded, which became active.
Guns weren't just being offered for sale; they were actually being sold. How could we tell? Because sellers would post multiple pictures of the gun for sale next to a handwritten note of their name and the sales were authenticated by the site, which meant money was being paid into escrow and being released to the sellers by customers who would then leave feedback.
Importantly, many of the buyers had extensive purchase history with the site and were frequent contributors Black Market Reloaded's forum. Sometime, purchasers, who often bought from overseas, even posted pictures of their goods with dated newspapers from their own countries. It was enough to convince many that the sellers were legitimate and Black Market Reloaded became the first marketplace on the web where guns could be purchased easily.
The more time I spent tracking the firearm sales on BMR, the more I became convinced of two things: one, the sales were real and two, something was going to go seriously wrong before very long. The sellers had become brazen, shipping across borders to countries with strict customs procedures.
It didn't matter how well they claimed to have concealed their orders; somebody was going to get caught. I couldn't buy a gun to prove that weapons were being sold, so I had to sit back and wait for a customs x-ray machine to do its job.
I didn't have to wait long. Two weeks ago, Adam Bunger, a 33-year-old technology entrepreneur from Kentucky, was arrested for selling firearms on BMR.
If the police are right and Mr Bunger was selling guns on BMR, which one of the handful of sellers was he? When the details behind his arrest came out, it soon became clear. Mr Bunger's gun dealing was first rumbled in July when a Modelo Super 9mm pistol he shipped to Australia was discovered at customs hidden inside a broken Xbox.
The customer to whom it was addressed squealed to the police that they'd bought it off BMR and set off a chain of inquiry. The package was traced back to Bowling Green, a credit card was linked to the parcel, and Mr Bunger was identified by mail clerks.
Two other packages were then intercepted: an "Uzi-style pistol", discovered in an Xbox bound for the UK, and assault rifle parts, found in a package sent to Australia. Mr Burger was then fingered by a mail clerk as he attempted to send a .22 caliber Taurus pistol to Sweden, hidden inside a computer power supply box.
For those familiar with the BMR firearms market it became instantly obvious which seller had been caught, one of the site's most trusted dealers: Grass4Cash. Grass4Cash had sold a Modelo Super 9mm and a Mac-10 (an Uzi-type gun in a time frame that lines up with the Police seizures).
Additionally, both his Grass4Cash account and an account called demonfifa, which had sold over 1,000 stolen credit cards, stolen identities, fake IDs and shipments of marijuana, and which many users of BMR suspected was run by him as well, went quiet following Burger's arrest.
The Adam Burger who was caught with his pants down, using the same post office, using his credit card to send guns and going by the inventive name "John Smith", couldn't be anyone but Grass4Cash, who swaggered around BMR as one of the first, most prolific and most trusted gun dealers on the internet.
Grass4Cash began selling in September 2012. In May this year, he claimed to be receiving over hundred enquiries a day about his services. He constantly updated his arsenal with a wide variety of of weapons and boasted of his "untouchability". His profile read, "Best stealth packaging: Gets into Australia/UK or anywhere else easy… Current success rate: 100%"
The hundreds of customers who bought from him inundated his profile with positive feedback. S1nrgy who bought a Ruger LCP .380 from him had this to say:
"I can't recommend G4C enough! Fantastic communication and very fast delivery. Need a gun? THIS is the guy to go to."
At the beginning of July, just days after Australian customs had discovered the smuggled pistol, Grass4Cash was still brazenly advertising his wares. He was offering a .25 pocket pistol for $1,000.
"This is a great conceal weapon, and a great piece to have your back. The firearm comes with 1 7 round magazine…For just $1060 including express shipping (Yes, you to Australians), this is a steal.)"
As well as the pistol, Grass4Cash was offering an American Gangster favourite: a brand new Mac-10, a steal for $3,500. It could well be this very weapon that police intercepted on its way to the UK.
The users of the Black Market Reloaded forums, who once sang Grass4Cash's praises, are in shock. The ease with with an icon of their lawless and borderless trade dream was taken down has led to much panicked speculation about the future of BMR.
For years now, users of the more nefarious corners of the deep web have been living under the illusion that they're untouchable. But only one of the original ring of reputable gun dealers is still advertising on the site and like the Armory before it, the firearms section of BMR is filling up with scammers.
The arrest of Grass4Cash is just the latest in a string of events that have shattered the stability of this dark illegal market. In July, the FBI took out Freedom Hosting, which was alleged to have been hosting the majority of child pornography on the web. There are persistent rumours that the online black market sites are under heavy surveillance – though it was an old fashioned parcel intercept that compromised Grass4Cash.
All of which suggests that, together with other illegal online activities that participants were arrogant enough to imagine law enforcement could never see happening, the online gun trade may be petering out before it even really got started.

Many cultures have used edible flowers in their traditional dishes for centuries. And with a growing interest in global cuisine, edible flowers are once again coming back into vogue with the gardening masses. Whether you grow them alongside your vegetables or in containers, edible flowers are a wonderful way to bring added color, texture and flavor to your favorite summer dishes. There are hundreds of edible flowers. Here are ten of the most common:
Always introduce edible flowers into your diet slowly and in small quantities to avoid digestive upsets or allergic reactions.
Avoid picking flowers from along roads and ditches, or from areas where they may have been exposed to pesticides or herbicides. Never eat flowers from nurseries, florists, or garden centers. The only way to be certain the flowers you are eating have not been exposed to chemicals is to grow them yourself, or acquire them from someone you know.
In general, people suffering from allergies, asthma, ragweed, or hay fever should avoid consuming edible flowers, especially composite flowers, as the pollen may cause extreme allergic reactions.

Carol from Beverly, Mass.
A resounding yes! You can absolutely eat chive blossoms! Chives are members of the Allium family, and just in case you didn't know, many members of this family (including chives, leeks, onions, and garlic) produce edible flowers.
What is so great about chive plants is their versatility in the garden. As an herb, they produce edible stems and flowers. The stems work great as an onion substitute for roasts, vegetables, salads, sandwiches, and soups. The peppery tasting flower petals make an attractive edible seasoning suitable for use in egg, cheese, and fish dishes or when kept intact and used as a garnish.
As a landscaping plant, chives produce bulbous, eye-catching purple, pink, or white blooms (depending on the variety) that sit on top of bright green tufts of decorative, grass-like stems. Chives are also good self-seeders, so if left to their own devices they will fill in a modest area of the garden quickly (under favorable conditions). Chives also exhibit some insect repelling properties, and bees love them. Once established, they aren't too fussy about their growing conditions.
Yes, you can eat the chive flowers in salads.
Is it edible...?!!!
Why, that's like asking if the Pope's Catholic!!
Seriously, though, I put them in salads, herb butters, smoked goat cheese, sauces--you name it. They are awesome!
We started out with one plant years ago, and kept dividing it and now we have a hedge--wonderful, wonderful stuff!
The flowers are a natural part of the chive. They all flower eventually. Yes you can eat them.
Nasturtiums not only add color to your summer garden, but the flowers and young leaves taste delicious in a salad or on a sandwich. This is a page about use nasturtiums for salads and sandwiches.

Ahoy Blogland!
It is a quintessential spring day here in the Pacific Northwest. Sunshine, wind, a smattering of clouds, and a comfortable 70ish degrees. It makes sitting still difficult, but I'll see what I can manage.
Last Week
- Publish two blog posts
- Write 500 words/day on The Steel Armada
- Finish reading The Master Magician
- Review Madhu's pages
How'd I do?
- Publish two blog posts
- Yeppers! The Editing Check-In and the May Recap are both up.
- Write 500 words/day on The Steel Armada
- Yes! I didn't think I was going to cross the finish line this week, but the writing came very easily last night, giving my word count the boost it so desperately needed.
- Finish reading The Master Magician
- Yep! I managed to sit my butt down and give this book a chance. Turns out, the last 70 pages are by far the best. But, I'll talk about that in more detail later this week.
- Review Madhu's pages
- Of course! This is the one thing I always do. Need I say more?
Weekly Word Count: 3,866
This week was a really good one. I committed to my goals and made sure I did what was necessary to see them through. I can't say I do that every week, but I'm doing better. I'm trying, and sometimes I even manage to succeed!
Aside from the writing going so well, my biggest win of this week was finishing The Master Magician. I was horribly opposed to that book by the middle of the week, but I finished the last 70 pages in one sitting, and I even liked them! So, that shows that sometimes, you really should forge ahead through that book that's giving you grief. It might just be worth your while.
Progress continues on The Steel Armada. I wrote quite a bit on it this week and it continues to surprise me. I'm excited for the scenes I'll be exploring in the days to come. And I think I might have come up with a new title! But, I'm not sharing until I'm certain, sorry.
My husband and I also did a TON of work on our front yard this weekend and found time to hang out with family and friends. It really felt like I was Superwoman this week, capable of anything and everything!
That was until the rejections for The Cost of Rain came in. One last week and one this morning. Now, I'm not too bummed, I know this is par for the course in writerland. But, it still stings a little, yeah? It still sucks for a second, before you decide to buck up and submit it to the next place on your list. I tell myself this is the harder story to place, that it falls between genre lines and between desired word counts and yadda yadda yadda. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter what I tell myself, I've already decided to submit it until it sells. So there, self.
It was nice to keep things straightforward this last week. It made buckling down and getting the work done that much easier. Unfortunately, there's a bit more on my plate this time around.
This Week
- Publish 2 blog posts
- Write 500 words/day on The Steel Armada
- Finish listening to Side Jobs
- Submit Oregon Literary Arts Fellowship application
- Review Madhu's pages
I really should add a bullet point for Sanctuary, because I need to make sure I actually work on it this month. But there's a lot of bullet points on this week as it is, and that doesn't include my non-writing goals for this week! I have to get my passport application turned in, work on the yard some more, and do some of the general house chores that are starting to fall behind. Yikes!
The good news is that I've got the review for The Master Magician for this week, so there's one goal that's good to go. I've also got a big ol' blog post planned that's a bit of a self-indulgence. I think you'll like it though, don't worry! I'm not sure when it will be posted, but I promise it's coming.
Since setting my writing goal of 500 words/day, I've only fallen short once or twice. I'm really plugging away on this book, and so far there's no end in sight. That feels good. Like, really, really good.
I maybe, kinda, sorta forgot I had the audiobook for Side Jobs. I'm so used to digital audiobooks on my phone that I completely forgot about the CDs in my car! I started listening to it Saturday, and am making some decent progress. They're fun, though a little repetitive. Hopefully I'll get through them quickly, since Brief Cases comes out tomorrow!
Yes, you read that next bullet point correctly. I am applying for the Oregon Literary Arts Fellowship. My dance teacher, Mrs. Buren, always said that you should always try for the things you want, because the worst they can tell you is 'no'. That's damn good advice for any kind of endeavor, but particularly artistic ones. And well, this was another unexpected writing thing that came across my radar thanks to Madhu. And since I wouldn't have thought to apply otherwise, getting declined won't sting half so much as some of these short story rejections.
And who knows? There's always a chance they'll say yes! "You can only catch fish that are in the lake." More sage advice from dear Mrs. Buren. If I don't apply, then I have no chance at all. So, I'm applying, and other than next week's Goals Summary, I won't be talking about it again until I get the results.
Anyway, that's the plan. That's what's up. That's the skinny, the downlow, the scoop. You know, all those cool catchphrases only dads and cutesy moms still use. You know the ones, the ones that say "cool beans" unironically. Those ones.
Until later, Bloggos!

The jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court over nationals of non-party states
AuthorCormier, Monique
AffiliationMelbourne Law School
Document TypePhD thesis
Access StatusThis item is embargoed and will be available on 2021-07-06.
© 2017 Dr. Monique Cormier
The Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court ('ICC') provides that nationals from states not party to the Statute may, in certain circumstances, be prosecuted by the ICC. Some non-party states vehemently object to the fact that the ICC, a treaty body, can exercise jurisdiction in situations where the state of nationality has not consented to the terms of the treaty. While the source of the ICC's jurisdiction is the Rome Statute, the Statute on its own does not provide a legal justification for the scope of the Court's jurisdiction. This thesis addresses the overarching question: On what legal basis is the ICC authorised to exercise jurisdiction over nationals of non-party states? A general consensus has emerged among international criminal law scholars that in situations referred to the Court by states parties or in investigations initiated by the prosecutor, the legal basis for the ICC's jurisdiction over nationals of non-party states is predicated on states parties delegating jurisdiction to the Court. But there are multiple situations in which the question of whether there is a legal basis for prosecution of nationals of non-party states is not as straightforward as simply proclaiming that the territorial state has delegated its jurisdiction to the Court. This thesis provides a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the ICC's jurisdiction over nationals of non-party states in order to determine whether there is a legal basis for the ICC to prosecute such nationals in all scenarios allowed by the Rome Statute. In situations that come before the Court via a state party referral or through a Prosecutor-initiated investigation, I argue that delegation of jurisdiction provides a legal basis for the ICC's prosecution in all scenarios with the exception of incumbent senior state officials from non-party states, who remain immune from the Court's jurisdiction. In situations that are referred to the Court by the UN Security Council, the legal basis for the ICC's jurisdiction over nationals of a non-party state is predicated on the indirect consent of the relevant non-party state by virtue of that state's membership of the UN. There remain, however, some questions about whether certain Council actions in relation to the ICC are intra vires the UN Charter. Ultimately, I demonstrate that the ICC has missed a number of opportunities to clarify the legal basis for its jurisdiction over nationals of non-party states. Going forward it will be essential for the Court to respond to challenges to its authority over non-party nationals by providing a sound—and comprehensive—explanation as to how and why its jurisdiction is grounded in international law.

"Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun.
My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the
vineyards; my own vineyard I have neglected."
-Song of Solomon 1:6
A night of worship and true revelation awaited me. You spoke into my life through a precious youth.
As she shared, Your words came directly from Your throne to my heart. The picture of the Song
of Solomon maiden came to mind. I am that maiden.
You are calling me to tend my garden. Then, my missing journal, a piece of my soul drove me
to seach, alone. Alone with just you is where you long for me. Speaking words of love, you revealed
the neglect in our garden.
I have placed more value in giving, cultivating and planting in others' gardens while mine lies dormant
and neglected. You invited me to tend my garden again. Cultivate and prune my children, the delicate
sprouting seedlings. Nurture and uphold my husband, the oak of righteousness. Water and weed the
delicate flowers of talents You planted in my life.
In our garden, it is a time for weeding. Weeding out the selfishness, the me cries from my heart.
Weeding out the plans I have that crowd your perfect plans for our life. Weeding out the small
idols that are threatening to overtake the seeds you planted.
In our garden, it is a time for pruning. Cutting away any dead and decaying part of my life that
hinders me from producing fruit.
In our garden, it is a time for cultivating. Enriching the soil of my heart as I soak more in You.
Preparing my heart for the dream seeds you desire to grow and flourish. Cultivating intimacy with You
where we can just linger together, in our garden.
My heart's desire has changed. May my garden emit a holy fragrance, an aroma pleasing to you. And
may I learn from the Master Gardener himself.
(the journal entry 10/08 that kindled a love for His garden in my life)

Leon Redbone to play at Pawling's Towne Crier
Sure, everybody knows him for his distinct voice and trademark fedora, sunglasses, and mustache, but in terms of the musician's personal life, little is truly known of the artist. After speaking with him last week, we're sure that's the way the musician likes it.
"I don't do anything mysterious on purpose. I'm less than forthcoming, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm mysterious. It just means I'm not inclined to go there," the singer and guitarist said in a Jan. 11 interview.
Whether we know truly where he comes from or who he is exactly, it really doesn't matter in the long run. One thing's for certain, the musician, who's best known for performing jazz and blues from the early 20th century, performing Tin Pan Alley classics, and lending his vocals to films ("Elf"), commercials, and television themes (Mr. Belvedere!) is a celebrated multi-talented personality.
Redbone will perform on Saturday at the Towne Crier Caf� at 130 Route 22 in Pawling, N.Y. He said, like any show in which he performs at, "All one can expect is a moment in time."
Elaborating, he said, "You can only hope to capture something in the course of an evening if you're lucky. It's not a recital. You don't keep practicing until you get all the notes correct. It's really an improvised moment..."
Redbone said his audiences are typically diverse, although he acknowledges many of his fans are older than younger. "It's quite a mix really. Over the years, I guess I would say some of them have aged as myself of course, but (there's) still young people in the audience. I think it covers the entire range. I think it's a question of personality trait. Music doesn't really require whether the person's a young person or old person for whatever kind of music it is."
When asked what songs he plans to play during the Crier set, Redbone gave a delightfully witty yet elusive answer. "I just do a random roulette wheel version of what I've recorded or sometimes tunes I haven't recorded. It's a collection of whatever happens"� happens."
Tickets to the show are $35 in advance or $40 at the door. For more info, call (845) 855-1300 or visit www.townecrier.com.
Havens plays

Now, I admire a lot of SFJ's writing. I think he is a good critic, and some of our tastes are similar - he loves the Minutemen, as do I. He loves the Clash, ditto. We share an affinity for a lot of post-punk (which, btw, I refuse to give up on. I liked Gof4 before the post-punk revival, and I'll continue to do so. Get off your "that's SO yesterday" horse already).
One of the reasons I like these bands, and the reason I mention these bands right now, is their prominent use of the bass. The propulsion, juice, pulse, and ooomph of the bass, the way it can make the music swing. This prominent use of the bass may have its roots in largely black American strains of music: jazz, soul, dub, and funk. Their use of the bass is just of of several signs that these bands mixed a whole set of different influences, both "black" and "white", to create their sounds and music. SFJ notes that this mixing (I'll come back to his term later on) is part of what made these bands and other music that he loves so important and he thinks it is sadly lacking in modern indie-rock. Indie-rock, he says, has since the 90's strayed away from the African-American influences and instead turned to "whiter" influences making it "soul-less" or "less interesting". (Norwegian readers, note the similarities to some of Ole Martin Ihle's critique, but also note the significant difference: SFJ loves punk and early indie, which I fear Ihle isn't open enough to appreciate. To SFJ, indie doesn't mean "soul-less", it's just become soul-less).
Some of the discussions on SFJ's article has been about this point: indie's lack of "black" influences. On the basis of the article, that's an obvious thing to discuss. If you listen to the podcast which accompanied the article you get the feeling that he also thinks it is lacking the other way around. There is no mixing of sounds in neither indie nor hip-hop these days. Also note that he says that the sounds of "black" and "white" music used to be more difficult to pin down before, especially in the 60's and 70's, rather it was an American music where influnces had been fused over the years albeit with a distinctly rhythmic influence from Africa. To this point I agree, but it seems to have escaped the vast majority of those who have engaged themselves in the discussions over the article.
I feel that on one hand the article is just SFJ saying that he misses a Minutemen or a Clash in modern rock/indie. Fair enough, but there are several problems with the whole thing. I'll go over them one-by-one.
- His word for mixing of styles or influences is miscegenation, a highly loaded term originally intended to be derogatory.
- Taking a few current indie bands to mean all current indie is reductionist and false. Suerly there are exceptions to the rule. Also, what is the rule, or, what is indie?
- SFJ traces the problem as he sees it back to Pavement. Now, I love Pavement for several reasons, but my main point here is this: Can it not be said that Pavement's odd twists and turns, pauses and off notes are not so much a sign of lack of ability (you'll never convince me that Malkmus is a bad guitar player), but may rather be attributed to a delibertate choice of style and moreover be seen as an influence of Thelonious Monk (which has also been pointed out by Christgau, among others), a man who used odd twists and turns himself to create a very personal voice within jazz?
- It's difficult to understand why SFJ uses a band he likes, Arcade Fire, as proof of the problem. By doing so he freely admits that this mixing of styles that he misses is not the be-all of rock/indie, thereby making me think the "problem" - sonically - is not as big as the article, all four pages of it, would suggest.
- The article is not well written. SFJ's point comes across better in the podcast, where he explains, as I noted above, that American music didn't use to be "black" or "white", but a potent mix of both and that this is something he misses.

I'm a terrible juggler … by Dr James Grecian, University of Glasgow
The main problem I have as a fledgling academic is time management, and at a guess I'm not alone.
I'm not talking about procrastination, although that can play a part. I'm saying that it takes time to form a scientific idea, and even longer to transfer those thoughts into cogent prose on a page.
This is an issue because after several years of post-doc contracts, I'm now followed everywhere by the ghost of papers past. This sceptre began as a small niggle when submitting my PhD, and over the last couple of years has ballooned into an academic version of the giant lumbering Ghostbusters marshmallow man.
I was lucky enough to land a post-doc quickly after my PhD. My supervisor bribed me with the promise of a (short-term) contract if I handed in my thesis before the start date. The guarantee of work was a great incentive to write up quickly, and gave me the opportunity for a month or two of summer fieldwork, which is why I became an ecologist in the first place.
This was followed by the offer of another short-term post-doc position (this time 9 months instead of 4 months) at a different institution. With my student debt racking up after 10 years in education (BSc, then MSc, and finally PhD) I was under pressure to find something and so made the moveto the opposite end of the country, far from family and friends.
Within a couple of months I was on the move again. When faced with short–term contracts, the offer of a 2.5-year position elsewhere was too tempting, so I upped and moved again, for the third time in six months.
At this stage I had a few papers under my belt, and thought I would be able to get a paper or two from the short-term posts that would set me up nicely. What I actually found was that during this time I became more familiar with removal van hire, motorway miles, and university HR systems.
With hindsight I think continuity breeds productivity. Moving to different institutions can open up new collaborations, ideas and opportunities, but you also have to learn new approaches, attitudes and writing styles that may make those new collaborations more difficult, and slow the writing process down.
Through all this, I've been followed by the guilt of unfinished thesis papers, which in turn is superseded by the guilt of unfinished post-doc papers. The old adage "publish or perish" is never far from my mind.
But how do you juggle current work commitments with finishing papers from a previous post, or writing grants for your next position? A colleague once told me to break down the week, and spend a morning or two a week on older projects so that you are always progressing (even if slowly). My issue is that I'm not good at switching between projects. It takes me a day or two to get my head around a particular approach or idea, then a day or two to put those ideas into practice, and another day or two for writing that up, by which point the week is over and I've spent it entirely on one idea (which may not have even worked!). Of course I'm then filled with guilt that I've either spent a whole week on a) my post-doc project and not really got anywhere, or b) an old paper idea that means I've not been working on a).
Friends and colleagues joke that the current post-doc is for writing up the papers from the previous post-doc, but how are we supposed to do this in reality? I've met a few people on writing scholarships, who have pots of money to simply write up thesis papers. This approach makes sense, research from the PhD project gets published more quickly and the student becomes more competitive when applying for future funding, ensuring decent outcomes from the grant. It's an interesting model, but I'm not sure how often it's put into practice.
I'm now approaching the end of my post here in Glasgow, and have lost count of the number of people who ask me "so what's next?"
In truth I don't know. It's not a lack of project ideas on my part, but a feeling that I don't have time to think about the future when I should be chipping away at all these papers to make myself more competitive.
Managing different projects, and colleague's expectations of the outcomes is a key part of academic development, but not one I'm sure receives that much attention. Too much reliance is put on supervisors to train students, when not all are willing to offer tips on writing and reviewing papers or research grants. Early career scientists are crying out for a training structure to guide us through this minefield.
As it is, I guess I'll need to learn to juggle before I can join the circus…

In Rural, Isolated Counties, Chronic Loneliness Can Play Major Role In High Suicide Rates
"There are many little roads in Amador County that have a lonely person at the end of them," says Ursula Tocher.
Capital Public Radio:
Chronic Loneliness Is A Major Cause Of Suicide For Seniors, Especially In Rural California
Research shows that suicide rates among Hispanic adults, who are more likely to be protected by close-knit families and cultural traditions that reinforce the value of life, are significantly lower than most other groups. In Amador County, which is 80 percent white, the lack of nearby family or social services within walking distance can make residents feel abandoned. (Caiola, 9/12)

Dear EventBrite and Lanyrd: WTF?
Between the Over the Air hack day, events associated with the W3C TAG and various other things, I count myself as a sometimes event organizer. I've been a user and a big fan of Lanyrd since it first started out because it does exactly what I need it to do: it provides tools for event organizers like me to take the burden off. For Over the Air, for example, I can built the entire schedule of the event in Lanyrd and embed that schedule on our own web site. Speakers who I program into the schedule can edit their own session pages and they benefit from a network effect since other events they are speaking at are also displayed. When I'm running an unconference such as the Extensible Web Summit I can use Lanyrd to build the schedule on the fly as the event progresses.
But now Lanyrd is dying on the vine. It's really really sad to see it go like this. Not only is it suffering from a lack of new and important features — to name a few: https support, off-line support, geolocation, integration of more services, better Twitter integration, Slack integration, support for some kind of event back-channel, live streaming integration, even deeper EventBrite support (which you think would be high on their list). It needs a design refresh as well — although the responsive design still works OK.
Then there's the issue of reliability. Lanyrd has been going down more often this year. In general, when Lanyrd goes down, it goes down during European business hours and stays down until morning breaks in Silicon Valley. Because why would anything need to be up and running when Silicon Valley is asleep, right? When I was running an Extensible Web Summit in Berlin last year it was down for the whole event, leaving us scrambling with etherpads, wikis and IRC to come up with an alternative. Last week, after such an extended outage, I asked one of the founders:
The silence was deafening. Of course, it's not their fault. If anyone could be blamed, it's most likely the EventBrite management team who just seem unwilling to put any energy into it.
Thankfully Lanyrd did stay up during last week's Over the Air event, which was lucky because we were relying on it. Now, post event, it's down again, with no indication of up time. And just at the moment when I asked our speakers to go into their session pages and update them with links to their session slides. And my bet is it will stay down until this evening.
At an event earlier this year, when I announced we were going to use Lanyrd for schedule organization, someone quipped "Oh! Someone still uses Lanyrd?" Unfortunately it has come to this. Although it doesn't have any obvious replacement, people are no longer using the service due to the obvious lack of investment and reliability issues. I hope EventBrite management will wake up and realize they need to put some investment into this property, that they will understand the value that comes from such a truly social conference application. My guess is they won't, though, and Lanyrd will be remembered along with Upcoming as a promising service that didn't survive the acquihire of the team that built it.
Personally, I'm done. Unless I see some evidence of investment in this important property, I'm not going to rely on it again for any event that I'm involved with. For that matter, I'm moving off of EventBrite, which was always too heavy-weight for the kinds of (mostly free) events that I organize anyway. Many people have suggested Tito as a replacement. Earlier today when I was lamenting on Twitter about Lanyrd's downtime and the lack of any viable replacement, I received the following:
Sounds promising…
