Chapter 19
Roman was running along the path near the beach. He loved this stretch of his run; he could see a kind of forever in front of him, the way the headland curved around and the swell of the blue sea. Sometimes he was tempted to strip off his top and trainers and just run full pelt into the sea, letting the water cool his overheated body and losing himself in the swell of the surf. Today though, he was brought up short when he saw that Ella was on the beach, just a little way away from him. She was wearing short jean shorts and a white vest top. Her shoes were kicked off and she was using her hands to emphasise something to Gabby, their daughter. Both of them had been swimming he could tell from the way that their hair was ever so slightly curly. Suddenly without warning both Gabby and Ella tumbled over on their hands on to the hot sand, performing a perfect cartwheel in sync. He felt his breath leaving in a sharp sigh because he was so taken aback by their beauty.
He wasn't a poet, he wasn't anything special but somehow Ella had loved him once and he was going to do all he could to get her back. Recovering quickly he managed to get his phone out and flick through the options to video them as they did another cartwheel. Gabby wobbled on hers this time and almost went over, and his wonderful angel child just laughed. With a deft movements Ella began to do a tumbling run along the beach, a somersaults, flips and then ending with a back flip. He'd all but forgotten just how good she was just stopping himself from applauding her.
She collapsed on the sand after that with Gabby rushing over and lying down next to her mother. Feeling like he was spying on them he forced himself to head over to where they were. With Gabby there at least Ella couldn't totally reject him he thought with a snarl at the wuss he was becoming.
"Hi," he called out.
"Roman, Dad!" Gabby said quickly flushing at the stumbling over what she called him. Toby had been the one to call him Dad almost immediately and just occasionally Mike would slip up and forget to call him 'sir'.
He smiled at his thoughts before looking at Ella. "You look like you've been having fun," he began and then felt himself flushing because there was no way that sounded innocent once the words came out of his mouth.
"The boys are using their body boards so we came in," she said slowly.
"I should really dust off my surfboard," he muttered.
"You should go out with Mum she's wonderful," Gabby said quickly.
Roman pressed his lips together to stop the sudden laugh that bubbled up and caught Ella giving him a glare. He was tempted to ask if Gabby meant surfing or out as in on a date and only the thought of how much Ella would kill him managed to stop him.
"It's been a long time since I went out on it so I'm not sure that it's even any good." He found himself saying instead.
"Maybe you should invest in a new board? These guys will need upgrading soon so we'll be shopping in the schoolies," Ella said to him.
He thought he sensed an invitation to her words but what if he was pushing things? She'd already rejected him a couple of times recently.
"I better…" he began.
Ella got to her feet and reached down to help Gabby before she ran over to collect discarded shoes, bags and towels. She lifted her hand and waved to the Toby and Mike indicating they should come in before she spun back around and looked at him.
"We're going to have a bbq, want to join us?"
He grinned, "Depends, is Miles cooking?"
Gabby snorted before she burst into girlish giggles. "He's scared of your cooking Mum," she said when she'd finished.
"Hey Missy," Ella pretended to be affronted and mock pushed Gabby who laughed again and he couldn't help smiling at them.
"Hey Dad," Toby called loudly as he ran up the beach and then to the showers to wash off the sea water. Mike did likewise and then they collected boards and towels and walked over to where they were standing.
"Just invited Roman to the BBQ," Ella began to explain.
"Phew, at least… "Mike began stopping when Ella glared at him.
"Look, I can cook," she muttered stomping off. "Occasionally. If there is a tin involved and full instructions!"
"Come on kids," Roman followed the way she'd gone and soon they were at Summer House.
Miles had already begun the BBQ and chuckled when he saw Roman in tow. "Funny, when Ella suggested the BBQ I didn't think she'd stock up on chefs."
"If one more person…" Ella began. "Kids go get showered and changed." She instructed watching as they disappeared running up the stairs. Turning towards him she gave him a slow smile, "What do you want to drink?" She asked formally, sounding a little bit British.
He shared a look with Miles before saying he'd love a beer and then she disappeared herself to get the drinks.
"So are you going to start banging pots around again?" Miles taunted him.
"Miles," Roman said quickly. He stepped forward to say something else when Miles laughed suddenly. "I'm sorry."
"You're an ass mate," Miles told him gesturing with the tongs. "I'm not going to break confidences but you need to step up here."
"Are you planning to hit me with those or turn the burgers?"
"Probably both," Miles murmured giving him a grin.
"I… " he paused wondering just how much he could tell his friend. In all the months since Ella had been back in his life he'd never opened up about her or their past. "I love her," he finally murmured.
"I know mate," Miles shot back. "But it's complicated and you're still married and then there's the twins and.."
"In a nutshell."
He stopped talking when he saw Ella walking back over towards them and couldn't help the way his eyes drifted down to her body and then her long legs. She had a golden tan from her time spent on the beach and her hair had that caramel colour to it when it became sun-kissed, golden lengths intertwined with the light brown. She still had it pinned up but he could tell from the tendrils that curled around face.
Any second now and he'd start panting like a schoolboy, he thought with a groan.
"Here," Ella handed out drinks, taking a swig from her own bottle as she eased into a seat nearby. "Kids have finished in the shower if you want to freshen up," she told him.
"Polite way of telling me I stink there," he shot out grinning as she immediately flushed. He took a long drink and placing his bottle on the table he headed indoors and made his way into the bathroom.
Kicking off his trainers and shrugging out of his clothes he decided on a quick shower and after towelling dry he grabbed someone's deodorant. The shorts were okay but he sniffed cautiously at his top. Definitely had smelt better, he thought as he pushed it in the sink and washed it out. Squeezing out the excess water he patted it with a towel before pulling it back over his head. He shivered as it touched his skin but after a moment he no longer noticed it. At least now he wouldn't have to stand downwind of everybody, he thought with a grin.
It wasn't long before he was back with them, choosing standing with Miles at the BBQ rather than sitting next to Ella. The kids soon joined them and he found himself smiling at seeing that Gabby had changed into a dress and done her hair before his thoughts turned to when she'd do that kind of thing before heading out on a date. Having barely survived Nicole's teenage dating life he didn't have it in him to go through it all again he thought as a grimace passed over his face. Luckily Miles asked him about the food and he was suitably distracted before he talked to Ella about finding a convent for their daughter.
Soon they were seated around the patio table, which he could have sworn it was a new one from the last time he'd hung out with Miles, and the conversation started to flow once more after the first snacks were eaten.
"Are we going to get new surfboards? I've got my money …" Mike murmured flushing as people looked at him.
"Probably, maybe," Ella said to him as he sat next to her. "We'll see. Has anyone told Roman about your birthdays?"
Toby shook his head vigorously, his mouth too full of burger for him to speak.
"Our birthdays are three months apart," Mike began.
"Hey I want to tell him, he's my Dad!" Toby shot out, a cross look on his face.
"Tobias Addison!" Ella called out quickly.
"Uh huh, full name shout," Gabby murmured. "Toby…"
"Well he is," Toby defended.
"What the kids were trying to tell you is that because they have birthdays three months apart, we usually have a middle date where we try and do something special," Ella explained giving Toby another warning look as he leaned forward to talk.
"I see," Roman found himself saying. Full name shout? What was that about he wondered? And all the traditions that Ella and the kids had that he wasn't a part of. It made him more aware of how much time he'd missed with the twins.
"We decided that this year we wanted to have a sleepout on the beach," Gabby said quietly.
"That sounds good, I know a perfect spot for that."
"Great, you can probably take the kids and show them tomorrow," Ella offered. "But well this year they want you to be there."
"What? I mean of course, but.." Roman floundered and looked at Ella.
Spending a night with her was something that had been a recurring fantasy for the past few months, and that magical afternoon where she'd come to his house and seduced him, although not that he'd needed that much seduction, was just the tip of what he wanted.
He looked at Ella, saw her smiling at him and he took that as encouragement. "Is that because you don't want to camp out?"
"Ha, no," she flushed as the kids looked at her. "Come on you all know I hate camping," she defended.
"We hate your cooking but we still have to eat," Mike shot back at her.
"Roman Michael Addison! You are so grounded!"
Roman did a double-take, "Wait, Roman?"
Miles and Ella laughed, "You so didn't know? No one told you?" Miles was saying to him.
"Know?" Roman frowned.
"My other Mum and Dad named me Roman after you," Mike said slowly.
"Michael wanted it," Ella said quietly.
She stood up and collected together the empty drink containers, carrying them over to the recycling before coming back for the plates and bowls. Gabby immediately shot up and began helping, gathering the rubbish together and the sauces. She glared at her brother until he sighed loudly and began helping. The three of them moved inside.
"Mum doesn't talk about my dad sometimes its upsets her."
"I can understand that," Roman nodded. "He was very quiet and serious. At least at first, we soon learned different. One of our commanding officers took it upon himself to tick your dad off. I still don't know how Michael did it but the guy walked into his office and found that someone had glued everything. Folders, stapler, pen all glued to the top of the desk. His chair glued to the floor. Must have taken ages to do."
"My Dad did that?"
"Yup," Roman nodded and finished his beer.
"Can you tell me more stories?"
The earnest look on the boy's face had Roman nodding agreement even though he didn't like thinking of the past himself.
"This has been good," Miles said quickly as though sensing something.
"Yeah, thanks for not killing us with your cooking."
"Getting me confused with Ella there," Miles said before calling out "ouch".
"I heard that," Ella muttered. "It's the kid's bedtime, so Mike time to head up."
"Aw Mum…"
He gave a grimace before calling out goodnight to everyone and heading into the house.
"My cue to go," Roman said quietly.
"Twins will be ready for you to pick up in the morning," she commented referencing his custodial visit.
Roman stood up and stretched. "Thanks. And thanks for the invite. It's been a good evening."
Miles nodded at him and he stood for a moment debating with himself about kissing Ella before giving in to the impulse and pressing a kiss to her lips and with that he left. He couldn't help but imagine more nights like this, only with him and Ella turning in for the evening before heading up to bed together. As a couple.
He groaned with frustration that everything was so complicated.

Gothic Altarpiece from Ramon de Mur.Guimerà. Lleida.Original work preserved in the Museu Episcopal de Vic.Dimensions: 730 x 524 cm.
The parish church of Santa Maria de Guimerà, built in the eleventh century on a big rock in the center of the town, and declared a historic-artistic in 1975, housed one of the master artwork in terms of size from that time, the Altarpiece of Guimerà.
The artwork, preserved since 1891 in the Museu Episcopal de Vic is a temple painting on walnut wood. Artarpiece of Guimerà is a part of the international Gothic painting style, elegant shapes, color fading golden background and abundant use of colors.
All the necessary managing process for reproduction of the altarpiece, was possible with to the illusion of the association guimera.info, and especially to the obstinacy of its president, Pascal Proust.
This is the first exact reproduction for this kind of artwork, which takes place in the world. Presented by the Hewlett Packard company, was chosen as the most outstanding project space "print quality", the "25th International Conference on Digital Printing Technologies" 2009, Kentucky (USA), the most important event worldwide in digital printing technologies.
- pdf -
The Guimerà altarpiece is a majestic work created by an imagination lit, free of conditions in form or style. Unfortunately only retain 23 of the 32 tables that made up the set.
Like other works of similar characteristics made in the past, the altarpiece has a rugged terrain due mainly to the work of decorating the set size, columns, cornices and other reliefs. But also part of its current imprint, pictorial material loss showing bare wood, warping and separation of the tables, the crackle of painting preserved, etc.
Reproducing Guimerà altarpiece required a special intervention and it was necessary the participation from various disciplines and application of resources in the new digital technology that allowed making an exact replica, avoiding as much as possible inaccuracies that manual work would have for sure introduced.
Reproduction fragment. Detail of the surface relief.
3Dimensional scanning.The volume scanned altarpiece was made by the company NUB3D with his system TripleArt using a unique MML process, called structured white light, to capture the three-dimensionality of objects without physical contact, using external references or the use of mechanical aids. Furthermore, the system fulfills the requirements of the control museum light intensity.
Volume Machining.The data volume (point cloud) is processed and converted into machine language tool (STL).A three-axis CNC milling machine, made a detailed work (36 hours each table) in MDF (Medium-density fiberboard). This material has better stability and homogeneity that wood is not attacked by worms.All elements in the altarpiece, moldings, cracks, loss of the paint layer, etc, were recreated with great accuracy in a solid model similar to that presented the original.
High resolution digital photography.A detailed photographic reportage was performed for the paintings, as of the most significant elements of the work.Once mounted the images, were scaled and chromatically corrected. For this and for reference, were painted with watercolor various color patches, which were adjusted compared directly with paint.The images were printed on Papelgel, pigmented ink HP (indoor lasting over 100 years).
Images transfer.The images were applied on the tables, adapting to shapes with volume, columns, moldings and other breaks in the relief, texture, crackle the painting, water timber, and so on.The image transferred to the areas where bare wood is appreciated, have an absolutely convincing appearance.
Papelgel retired.
Gold were applied.
Finally the group was protected with varnish.

The breeding project Guimerà Altarpiece was presented at the Royal Academy of the Arts of Sant Jordi in Barcelona. Its president, Mr. James Thornton, said in his closing speech that "this innovative project opens the door to the possibility for some artworks, that for safety or preservation, so far had not been set out in its place of origin, now could be admired at the original location.

Over the past year or so, I've really admired some of the future-of-big-journalism pieces published in the Sunday New York Times. Snow Fall, their interactive multimedia feature about an avalanche in Washington State that killed several members of a backcountry skiing party, for instance, was as stunning and innovative as it was gripping and informative. Not least among its groundbreaking attributes was that it was best consumed online, either on the web or on iPad. It offered lots of interactive features and sidebars that weren't just cool—they enhanced the information being presented. And the paper edition couldn't come close to doing them justice. It was as if the Times was making a statement about how newspapers could stay relevant in the interactive age.
So I looked forward yesterday to reading Tomato Can Blues, a sports feature the paper spent quite a few days and column inches promoting. It went online late last week, and though I didn't read it until I got yesterday's dead tree edition, I did take a peek at the web version, and was impressed by the large comic art illustrations by Attila Futaki—they mimic the parallax of 3D as you scroll down the page. Neat. I thoroughly expected the accompanying story, by Mary Pilon, to live up to the compelling presentation.
No such luck. Though Tomato Can Blues ran in the sports section, it is only tangentially about sports. And even then, the field of competition in question, mixed martial arts cage fighting, is not everyone's idea of "sport."
But cage fighting is more or less just the sensationalist angle that elevates this story of a small-time sociopathic crook into something the Times could build a big feature around. Without the marginal mixed martial arts tie-in, this would be just another crime story about the lives damaged by a hardscrabble thug.
But this is 21st century journalism, designed to be repurposed for profit. And so Tomato Can Blues doesn't offer much of the victims' perspective. Instead, the protagonist of the story is the thug. He's Charlie Rowan, a lowlife violent criminal who also happened to occasionally seek a measure of fame and glory by getting beat up in front of the crowds at cage fighting matches held in small town Michigan bars.
As I finished the story, I wondered, "What in the hell was that?" Though Rowan's story has a unique twist to it—he tried to fake his own death to escape from drug dealers he had ripped off—there is nothing redeeming or even very interesting about his tale to warrant the thousands of Pilon's words, Futaki's arresting graphics and the standout packaging the New York Times devotes to him. I came away from the story thinking he was just another violent loser.
And then it hit me. The comic art illustrations are meant to suggest film storyboards. Nine out of ten Hollywood films are already based on comic books. That must be it—Tomato Can Blues is an elaborate Hollywood movie pitch disguised as journalism. Charlie Rowan is the perfect empty vessel antihero for the smoldering blank good looks of someone like Ryan Gosling, if not Ryan Gosling himself. Sure, he does some very bad things, but maybe there's a spark of goodness behind that dour blank facade. At any rate, he sure is pretty to look at. And should the story make it to film, or even if it's just optioned, this investment in extensible journotainment will have paid off for the Times.
Check it out. What do you think? Who's being cynical, me or the producers at the New York Times responsible for Tomato Can Blues?

Vegan star Natalie Portman has revealed that it's her 'dream' to make a plant-based cooking show.
The actor was speaking during a Q&A session following a screening of newly released documentary Eating Animals, which she produced and narrated.
The film, which is based on Jonathan Safran Coer's book of the same name, opened on Friday playing in a limited number of theaters across the US. It has been described as telling 'the story of the beginning of the end of factory farming' by the production team, asking the question 'where do our eggs, dairy and meat come from?'
Speaking during the Q&A, Portman said: "I'll share with you guys my dream. It would be my dream to make one of those cooking shows, but only for vegan food.
"It could provide you with a starter kit if you want to be a vegan."
Pitching for funding she joked: "If anyone here wants to buy it, I'll be taking offers in the lobby after this."
Eating Animals was released last week
During the Q&A, Portman spoke about her new film, which a review in Variety described as 'pro-meat', as it appears to promote the consumption of animals reared on smaller, 'humane' farms.
According to Portman, the production team did not 'want to scare people away with too gruesome imagery'. She added: "Even people who really devote their lives to this, it's horrendous to watch cruelty to animals. What you see in the movie is the PG version of what exists out there."
She also said encouraging people to start reducing their intake of animal products is key: "Binaries are not important anymore," Portman claimed. "It's important to see things on a continuum. Trying does a lot. If everyone tried a little bit, it would make a huge impact. It's understandable that it's very hard to change part of our story, how we eat - part of the story of our families, our nation, our religion, and our identity. I don't expect anyone to be vegan tomorrow, but making small changes makes a big difference."
Eating Animals is currently on limited release across the US.

"the purpose of design is to make design obsolete"
This thought struck my mind today. It's probably my interest in general systems theory speaking. Might give you something to ponder.

The Purpose of Design is to Make Design Obsolete

Mark Rothko
"Certain people always say we should go back to nature. I notice they never say we should go forward to nature."
This is what the great artist Mark Rothko once said. Does his quote not suffice for a whole month of blog posts? As I understand it, Rothko had the transcendent goal to spiritually liberate people in a time where modernism forces people into abstract lives that seemed to free them, but actually made them suffer on a deeper level. He valued the intimate and the human, instead of the grandiose.
It seems that art is intellectually way ahead of technology design. Actually art is a kind of technology I think. Anyway, there are vast fields to be roamed for inspiration. I at least think that Rothko provides some ideas that will help in the development of technological products that are sustainable on a spiritual level, and not just a material level. His often huge paintings might seem boring and require some intellectual abilities to already be present in the viewer in order to understand them; they are about the ideas that lead to the paintings, not just about spatial arrangement of colours and forms...

We've received some questions about training and the workbooks over the past week; this post attempts to answer some of those questions.
Practice Lab
All training and certification test returns must be done on the IRS's Link & Learn Practice Lab. Never do any practice returns on the production site. The link for Practice Lab is https://vita.taxslayerpro.com/IRSTraining/en/Account/Access and the opening screen should look like the following. The password is the same as it was last year; contact your district/local coordinator or instructor if you don't remember it.
Once you've accessed the site, enter your unique username and password.
If you've forgotten your username, click on "Forgot Username," enter your email address, and Practice Lab will email you the username associated with that email address (check you spam folder if you can't find it). Remember that you cannot change the username associated with your email address.
If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password." You will have to answer the secret question that was created when your account was set up. If your district set up the account for you, contact your district or local coordinator for the correct answer to the secret question.
Training Workbook
Each district is responsible for training its new and returning volunteers. Starting this season, we have created a state-wide Training Workbook with Consolidated Workbook Answer Key (TSO 2016) that each district can, but is not required to, use. Currently, the workbook is available online only; districts may print some or all of the workbook to use during training. We will evaluate the utility of the workbook at the end of the season to determine what changes need to be made and if it was useful enough to print hardcopies for next season's training.
NTTC Workbook
The NTTC Workbook is an optional workbook developed by the National Tax Training Committee. Its practice returns are federal only — which is why we developed the Massachusetts Adaptations. The Workbook is available online at OSHC. Your district or local coordinator can also order printed copies through the portal. Contact your district/local coordinator or instructor to see if they use the NTTC workbook as part of training and if he/she ordered them. The federal answer key is available only through your district management. The answer keys for the Massachusetts Adaptations – done in TSO 2016 – can be found here: Massachusetts Adaptations Answer Key using TSO 2016 (Core) and Massachusetts Adaptations Answer Key using TSO 2016 (Comprehensive).
If you have any specific questions about training schedules, locations, or content – it is best to start with your district/local coordinators – they will know what's planned for you.

Journey To Profitable Niche Blogs
Last week I went through the domain names I still had and picked out a few that I thought still had potential. Some of them still had a blog on them with content, others didn't. I made sure every one of them has WordPress installed and cleaned up now and ready to go.
My goal is to start posting content on five of those sites with minimum one post on each site per week and have them start making money by december 2018. I'm not setting an income goal for this, I'm just looking to see if I still "got it". One of them that still had content has made some money in the last year (not much, a few small sales here and there on Amazon) so I know it's still possible.
My second goal is to start re-learning. After being out of it for this long I know things has changed and I'll need to find out what works and what doesn't in todays IM world, so I'm also making it my goal to take some time every day to learn something new AND implement it on those sites (at least one of them to test and if successful try out on the others).
Below I have an overview of where I am right now, I'll update this weekly to see how things are improving. I'll set all of them at $0 for now, even the ones who have made money in the past, just so I can see how things are improving. I'm not expecting income immediately, but I do hope to see improvement soon.
ETA: as Kay King pointed out below, traffic might be a better way of keeping track of how things are going. So I'm adding the traffic numbers I have at this point for March 2018. Since most have been "dead" that won't be a lot, but hey, it's a start One of these has a Facebook page which I still post too regularly, so once I figure out how I plan to use that I might see traffic for that one going up faster. We'll see.
Site 1: 6 blog posts - 23 visitors in March 2018
Site 2: 3 blog posts - 7 visitors in March 2018
Site 3: 16 blog posts - 24 visitors in March 2018
Site 4: 2 blog posts - 11 visitors in March 2018
Site 5: 0 blog posts - 7 visitors in March 2018 (no clue were those are coming from since I have no content on it and it's not me)
My first update will be on Monday, I hope to have at least one, maybe two blog posts added to each.

Hello my lovelies!
I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. What did you do? I went to town and I guess it was fun. I'm not big on going out anyhow but I guess being there with close friends made it better. We also didn't have any tickets to any of the clubs so by the end of the night we just ended up in McDonald's.
Anyhow this post is about pumpkin spiced hot chocolates so let's begin.
What you'll need:
- Whole pumpkin (can be small)
- Seasoning - nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla flavouring
- Milk
Start of by taking all the seeds out of the pumpkin
Cut the pumpkin in half then into smaller pieces.
Boil the pumpkin until the flesh is soft
Scoop the flesh off the skin
Place in a sauce pan and mash
In a little bowl and mix a teaspoon of ground nutmeg, ginger, cloves and cinnamon (although i recommend a little extra cinnamon)
In a bowl, put a teaspoon of the mixed seasonings and add half a teaspoon of vanilla flavouring.
Add three tablespoons of the pumpkin puree
Add a glass of milk and mix well
Add straight to the mug by siving the mixture. Fill about a quarter of the mug with the mixture and fill the rest with milk.
Don't forget to add some cocoa powder and mix well.
Voila! You have a pumpkin spiced hot chocolate. Enjoy!
Thanks for reading, have an awesome autumn, Dom x

Savery, John. Overview of Problem-Based Learning. The Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning. 1.1 (2006). 9-20.
Savery describes the characteristics of PBL:
- ill-structured
- require collaboration
- self-directed
- tutor to ask questions
- debriefing
- peer and self-assessment
- activities that are valued in real world
- goals are knowledge-based or process-based
Savery then compares PBL with project-based, case, and inquiry learning to show why PBL excels at constructivist goals:
- build context-specific vocabulary
- build understanding of relationships between elements
- as a group case, builds collaboration
- more oriented to procedures
- teachers instruct and coach
- question-investigation-creation-discussion-reflection
- tutor facilitates and provides information (versus facilitation only role in PBL)
The characteristics were clear and helpful, although the distinction between PBL and a case-based approach seemed marginal. The argument that cases diminish the learner's role by defining an outcome seems weak; research suggests that students must be scaffolded up from "defined" to "ill-defined" problems; in addition, PBL (if indeed PBL is a microworld) is an authentic simplification of the real world.

Rich in both military and early Native American history, Fort Abraham Lincoln was once an important infantry and cavalry post. It was from this fort that Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry rode out on their ill-fated expedition against the Sioux at the Little Big Horn. Portions of the military post, including the Custer House, have been reconstructed.
Popular with visitors is On-A-Slant Indian Village. Reconstructed earthlodges depict the lifestyle of the Mandan Indians, who occupied this site from about 1575-1781.
A modern campground is located in a scenic wooded area adjacent to the Heart River with picnic sites and playground equipment. Walking along the gently sloping hills, visitors have a panoramic vista of the Missouri River from the park's nature and historic trails.

2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet is a dream car for dreamers. It provides style, comfort, power, and performance all in one package. It has a drag coefficient of about 0.29 which lets the E-Class Cabriolet cut through friction caused by the wind like a hot knife through butter. The hot design commands attention, and the convertible top only adds to the appeal you will exude in one of these babies.
Under the hood of the E 400 Cabriolet you'll find a punch-packing 329 horsepower 3.0L biturbo V6 that will yield 20 mpg in the city and 29 on the highway. The bi-turbo V6 combines twin turbos and other advances to lower emissions and fuel consumption while increasing performance. It only takes a millisecond for the multispark ignition to fire up to four times, during which the fuel is distributed with precision to the high-pressure direct injection.
You're looking at a convertible because you plan to spend a fair amount of time with the top down. Thanks to the exclusive E-Class Cabriolet innovation AIRCAP®, the wind gets blocked from ruining your experience. A speed-sensitive airfold rises from the windshield while a see through mesh screen between the rear head restraints helps keep your drive quiet and draft free when the top is down, even at highway speeds.
Your safety shouldn't be on your mind while enjoying your drive in this beauty, and with the E-Class Cabriolet it won't be. Neck-Pro front head restraints move forward and upward in the event of a rear impact, reducing the distance between your head and the head restraints. This helps reduce the chance of whiplash-type neck injuries in the event that you get rear ended. Even without a fixed roof, the Cabriolet provides strength you would expect from a Mercedes-Benz. With a reinforced windshield frame, floor cross members, door beams and more through the body, you can drive with confidence in your vehicle's structure.
Are you ready to see what a Cabriolet will offer you? Visit us today or contact us to schedule a test drive today!

Torn Page 36
Chairs littered the rest of the room, most of them mismatched because they'd been pulled from other rooms to fill the space. Our mothers commanded the meetings, so Tove and I were always the first people in attendance. It worked to our advantage, and we hid in the back.
The usual twenty or so attendees were here: Garrett Strom, Willa's father and my mother's possible boyfriend; the Chancellor, a pasty, overweight man who stared at me in a way that made my skin crawl; Noah Kroner, Tove's ever-silent father; and a few other Markis, Marksinna, and trackers.
Soon the room started filling up more than normal. People I'd never seen before filtered in, including a lot more trackers. None of the trackers took a seat, because that would have been impolite with limited seating. Duncan stood behind me, despite the fact that I told him to sit down three times.
Willa burst in a few minutes before the meeting was set to start, and she pushed her way through the crowded room. Her bracelets jangled as she stepped over a tracker, smiling brightly at me before flopping into the chair next to mine.
"Sorry I'm late." Willa readjusted her skirt, pulling it down so it hit her knees. She brushed her hair from her eyes and smiled at us. "Did I miss anything?"
"Nothing's happened yet," I said.
"There are a lot of people here, aren't there?" Willa glanced around the room. Her father looked at us, and she waved at him.
"Sure are," I agreed.
The chair directly in front of me was empty, so Tove slid it back and forth with his abilities.
Crowds tended to overwhelm him. It was too much noise inside his head. When he drained some of his power by moving objects, it weakened his capacity to hear things and helped silence the static.
"Is it really a big deal, then?" Willa asked me and lowered her voice. "I heard you knew the Vittra that they caught."
"I don't know him." I shifted in my chair. "I saw him when I was with the Vittra. It's not a big deal."
"Did you subdue him?" Willa asked, looking up at Duncan.
She was asking him directly, and not asking me if my tracker had done something. She—Willa—was treating people with basic human dignity, and it freaked me out.
Duncan puffed up with pride, then seemed to remember that I'd defended Loki. His expression shifted to shame, and he lowered his eyes. "I saw him knock another guard out, and I called for backup. That was all."
"How come he didn't knock you out?" I asked.
I hadn't had a chance to talk to Duncan much since yesterday. I'd been wondering how they'd been able to capture Loki, when he could've rendered them unconscious with a single look.
"He didn't think he had to." Duncan looked proud again, and I let him. "My appearance deceived him, and the other guards tackled him."
"What was he doing when you found him?" Willa asked.
"I couldn't tell exactly." Duncan shook his head. "I think he was peeking through a window."
"He was probably looking for Wendy," Tove said offhandedly, and the chair in front of me slid so far back, it almost hit my shins. "Sorry."
"Careful," I said, pulling my legs up to be safe.
I wrapped my arms around my knees, and Elora glared at me. I didn't move, and I heard Elora's voice in my head: That is not how a Princess sits. I was wearing pants, so I decided to ignore her, and I looked over at Tove.
"Why do you think he was looking for me?" I asked. Loki had let me go once. I didn't know why he'd tried to get me now.
"He wants you," Tove said simply.
"You are the Princess," Willa pointed out, as if I'd forgotten. "On the subject of which, do you want to have a girls' night tonight?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I feel like I haven't seen you much lately, and I thought it'd be fun if we did our nails and watched movies," Willa said. "You've been under so much stress lately, you need to kick back."
"It would help your training if you shut off your mind sometimes," Tove said.
"That sounds really great, Willa, but I was thinking of seeing if Matt wanted to do something," I said. "This all has to be so confusing, and I haven't been able to spend much time with him."
"Oh, Matt's busy." Willa readjusted the clasp on her bracelet. "He's doing something with Rhys tonight. Some brother bonding thing, I guess."
I watched Tove move the chair back and forth, and I tried not to feel anything about what Willa said. Matt and Rhys needed to spend time together, and I had been busy a lot. It was good for them. It was good for me.
Somebody sat down in the chair in front of me, and Tove let out a dramatic sigh. Elora glared at him, but his own mother didn't. That had never made sense to me either.
Aurora was always looking down on Elora and me, but Tove acted out way more than I did. Tove did whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. I at least tried to have some decorum.
"It is really packed," Willa said again as more Trylle filed in.
It was down to standing room only, so even some of the Markis and Marksinna didn't get chairs. Elora cleared her throat, preparing to start the meeting, when two more trackers snuck into the room.
I could barely see them as they came in, but I recognized them instantly. Finn and his father, Thomas. They found a spot at the edge of the room. Finn crossed his arms over his chest and Thomas leaned on the bookcase behind him.
"Good. They're calling out the big guns," Tove whispered.
"What?" I pulled my gaze away from Finn.
"Finn and Thomas." Tove nodded at them. "They're the best. No offense, Duncan."
"None taken," Duncan said, and I think he meant it.
"We need to get this meeting under way," Elora said loudly, to be heard over the buzz of the crowd.
It took a minute, but the room fell silent. Elora's eyes traveled over the audience, purposely keeping them off Thomas, the same way Finn kept his eyes off me.
"Thank you," Aurora said with a saccharine smile and stepped closer to my mother.
"As you all know, we've had an intruder in the palace," Elora said calmly. "Thanks to our alarm system and the quick thinking of our trackers, he was caught before he could do any damage."
"Is it true that it's the Markis Staad?" Marksinna Laris asked. She was a nervous Trylle who once made a comment about how she loved that I let my hair go untamed, and how she'd never be brave enough to do something that unrefined.

Marta has been with New Seasons since July of 2005. She moved to our Williams location in October of 2015 after being manager of our Fisher's Landing store—and is constantly impressed by how each store embraces the culture and needs of each neighborhood. "Everything from our product mix to our Lend-A-Hand opportunities reflect our community and what our customers ask for," she explains. A native of the Baltic coast of Northern Poland, Marta grew up in a family that sat down together for three traditional meals a day—so she understands the importance of creating a living community of food. These days, Marta still loves pickled herring and peirogis, but has added cilantro to her list of favorite flavors. "I definitely did not have access to it when I was growing up, so it took me a while to acquire the taste. But now I love, love, love it."

We perish because we know not… #TLENews
Boko Haram has massacred thousands of civilians in Nigeria, but US officials' response towards the horrific crimes have been strangely muted. RT's Manila Chan explores a potential link to oil, which the US no longer receives from Nigeria.
To many, the lack of Washington's strive to aid the people of Nigeria – the biggest African economy – seems to follow simple geostrategic logic: no oil, no security support. While diverting funds to fight the Islamic State in Iraq, the US seems unwilling to address Boko Haram insurgents in Nigeria.
As US is trying to master shale gas exploitation; it has moved away from some of its traditional trade partners, with Nigeria – an OPEC-member state – becoming the first country to stop selling oil to the US, statistics from the US Department of Energy reveal. Nigeria was one of the top five suppliers to the US at the height of trade, less than a decade ago supplying it with 1.3 million barrels of oil every day.
Yet despite Boko Haram's territorial gains and promising outlook for jihadi domination of the whole region, the US – and the world – focuses on terror attacks in Europe and IS advances, completely neglecting the imminent threat stemming from the Nigerian terrorist network.
Some in Washington are already calling for strategy change.
"If we don't stop it in its tracks, we are destined for this horrible group to not step back but to continue to be in power," said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas.
"It is clear that the United States needs a comprehensive strategy to address Boko Haram's growing lethality," Reps. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., and Peter King, R-N.Y., wrote in a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry.
While the US spends an average of $8.2 million daily to battle the Islamic State in Iraq in Syria, it is spending almost zero to fight extremism in Nigeria.
Last year, Washington offered surveillance drones and 30 intelligence experts to help the Nigerian military rescue nearly 300 kidnapped schoolgirls. But in December, the Nigerian government stopped Washington's minimal strive to train its troops to fight Boko Haram.
"We regret premature termination of this training, as it was to be the first in a larger planned project that would have trained additional units with the goal of helping the Nigerian Army build capacity to counter Boko Haram," State Department spokesman Rodney Ford said in an email to the Military Times in December.
"The US government will continue other aspects of the extensive bilateral security relationship, as well as all other assistance programs, with Nigeria," he said. "The US government is committed to the long tradition of partnership with Nigeria and will continue to engage future requests for cooperation and training."
Boko Haram, which now controls an area the size of Slovakia, became widely known to the public last spring after kidnapping nearly 300 female students in northeast Nigeria. The US Department of State designated Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organizations in November 2013, despite it being operational from 2002.
In addition to mass murders in the ongoing and brutal campaign against Nigeria's military, government, and civilian targets, Boko Haram engages in massive oil theft from the resource-rich Niger Delta. It is estimated that national losses from oil theft rose from 10,000 barrels a day to 100,000 during the past five years of the current Jonathan administration.
Nigeria, which relies on oil for 70 percent of government revenues while fighting a major Islamist insurgency, is now looking to alternative buyers to compensate the loss of US market share. As a chain reaction, falling global oil prices are threatening Nigeria's fight against Boko Haram and the overall stability in West Africa.
China – which has become Africa's biggest trading partner, with some $160 billion worth of goods exchanges a year – is trying to fill in the US-left vacuum in Nigeria. Even though China's demand for raw materials has declined, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang announced in May a plan to double bilateral trade to $400 billion by 2020. Stretching back to 2012, Beijing offered a $1.1 billion loan to Nigeria and announced an investment of over $10 billion for hydrocarbon prospecting close to Boko Haram's zone of influence.
Despite a promising future of China-Niger relations, security in the African country is lacking. For now, Boko Haram is in de-facto control of much of Borno state – including three border crossings with Niger, Chad, and Cameroon.

WHEN the British rock trio the Noisettes were going through a recent career crisis after being dropped by their American label, the band's lead singer and bassist Shingai Shoniwa and her mother traveled to Malawi, where Ms. Shoniwa had spent some of her youth. They set off for a remote village to participate in a purification ceremony.
"They called up the ancestors using m'biras and did a lot of good-luck rituals to dispel the negative energy going on overseas," said Ms. Shoniwa, 27, using the Shona word for thumb pianos. "The whole experience rebooted me."
When she returned home, she and her band mates — the guitarist and singer Dan Smith, 30, and the drummer Jamie Morrison, 26 — decided to give the band's sound a makeover.
Before the release of their fiery 2007 debut album, "What's the Time Mr. Wolf?," they were agit-punk fixtures on East London's louche warehouse and squat scene. But now the Noisettes wanted to display more stylistic breadth and to showcase Ms. Shoniwa's striking voice, which can veer from a Billie Holiday moan to a Diana Ross disco bite. "We got annoyed with people comparing Shingai to Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs," Mr. Smith said.
The resultant "Wild Young Hearts," far sleeker, more varied and poppier than the debut, reached No. 7 on the British charts, thanks in part to the sprightly electro-pop single "Don't Upset the Rhythm (Go Baby Go)," which peaked at No. 2 and was used in a Mazda campaign in England.Continue reading the main story
Now the band has another American deal, with Mercury Records, a subsidiary of Island Def Jam and part of the Universal music group, which released the album in the United States last week. "When we got involved, the band had already made the creative leap into elements of pop and had songs of artistic depth," said David Massey, president of Mercury Records. "The band appeals in a multigenre way. And with Shingai's charisma the cornerstone will be their live show."
At a recent show at Santos Party House in Manhattan, Ms. Shoniwa, dressed in a vintage Azzedine Alaia jacket and silver lamé shorts, put her high-voltage performance style on display, jumping off the stage and leaping onto the bar, never missing a note.
At an interview in Ms. Shoniwa's home here, a quaint converted carriage house crammed with books and set in a tiny mews in the Fulham neighborhood, the Noisettes drank wine and snacked on crudités served by the singer. Ms. Shoniwa, who often appears in British celebrity and fashion magazines because of her haute boho-retro-disco look, wore blue satin shorts and red bird hairpins in her dark hair.
With satisfaction the members said that since the release of "Wild Young Hearts" here in April, the album has already sold about 195,000 copies. (Its predecessor sold less than 20,000.) "The different instrumentation we got to use on 'Wild Young Hearts' brings out different timbres, which is nice," Ms. Shoniwa said. "Singing with strings and piano, not just a guitar, you get inspired by the epicness of it all." She has been compared to Amy Winehouse for the 1960s spirit of some of the songs.
"The band did the right thing," said the producer and D.J. Mark Ronson, who has worked with Ms. Winehouse and Daniel Merriweather, whom Mr. Morrison joined on tour. "They've already got all the indie-pop cred. Why hang around in that indie landfill?"
"Wild Young Hearts" has several potential radio songs, like the Brill Building-Dusty Springfield sass of "24 Hours" and the high-energy electro-pop of "Saturday Night." There are haunting, soulful ballads too. "Every Now and Then" and "Atticus" lilt along on Mr. Smith's delicate folk guitar chords and eerie instrumentation, including a harmonium.
Ms. Shoniwa, who recalls a young Iggy Pop onstage, studied acrobatics in summer school programs as a child. She worked as an avant-garde burlesque dancer after graduating from the BRIT School of Performing Arts and Technology, where she met Mr. Morrison when she was 16 and he was 19. (Ms. Winehouse and Leona Lewis also attended the school.)
She was immersed in music at an early age because of her mother, Leoba Kureya, who grew up in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, under the apartheid government of Ian Smith. As a teenager she was imprisoned during the Chimurenga struggle to overthrow the regime and was released from jail after her future husband, a local politician, saw her there while visiting with his brother, a lawyer. As Ms. Shoniwa tells it, when he spied the spirited beauty he said: "You have to get her out. That's the girl I'm going to marry."
In 1979 the couple moved to London, where Ms. Shoniwa was born. Her parents separated when she was young, and her father died when she was 11. In Britain her mother became a social worker and music promoter, working at the Africa Center in London. Ms. Shoniwa started going to dances when she was 9 but said she was never one of the cool kids despite her artistic background.
"At school I was a geeky drama student," she said with a laugh. "I never met the cool, hunky boys in the music department till I met Dan. It was the early 1990s, the time of Britpop. I was attracted by his electric blue trousers and blond hair, the color of egg yolk. He'd just had it done at his mum's hairdresser."
Later that day she saw him sitting on some stairs, playing chords on a guitar he'd borrowed from the music room; she started singing along. "There was a massive connection," Mr. Smith recalled. "I thought, 'We should do more of this.' "
They formed a jazz band, Sonarfly, with two other musicians and performed from 1998 to 2002. The next year Ms. Shoniwa and Mr. Smith formed the Noisettes, received a production deal and made an EP, "Three Moods of the Noisettes" (Side Salad/Low Altitude). Mr. Morrison joined the band during the recording sessions. "We played scuzzy little rock clubs and warehouses in East London," Mr. Morrison said. "Every night we would improvise three songs, and we'd never turn a gig down."
Once when she was bodysurfing the audience, Ms. Shoniwa lost her bass pick. "Someone handed me a stale baguette and I carried on playing with that," she said.
Buzz about the Noisettes spread to the United States, and Jolene Cherry, senior vice president for A&R at Universal/ Motown, organized a showcase for the band in 2004 at the Roxy in Los Angeles. "After seeing them in a largely empty club, it was clear that they had a lot of raw talent, and je ne sais quoi," Ms. Cherry wrote in an e-mail message. The label soon offered the Noisettes a deal.
"It was our first time in America," Mr. Smith said.
"What's the Time Mr. Wolf?" came out on Universal Motown in the United States and Vertigo in Britain, both part of the Universal Music Group. Despite the album's disappointing sales, the band persisted. Promoting the album, Mr. Morrison said, they became "the support band of all support bands," for acts like TV on the Radio and M.I.A. "With only 20 minutes on a stage set up for the headliner we had to be outrageous, so we were quite loud and possibly a bit aggressive," he said. The dynamism of the live show built the band a grass-roots fan base, which came in handy when they were dropped by Universal Motown at the end of the year .
Money saved from the road bought the band six months of intensive songwriting and reinvention time, which led to a deal with Mercury Records UK. This time around, the members brought in a producer, Jim Abbiss, who had worked with Arctic Monkeys. The new excitement around the band led to a showcase in New York organized by Mr. Massey from Mercury. "Live, Shingai is a star, and they're a powerful team," Mr. Massey said of signing the band.
Reclining on a velvet couch, Mr. Morrison compared Ms. Shoniwa's jewel-box home with the squats where they began. "We never could have made this album without having lived through all these experiences," he said.
The band's rapidly growing audience has a special significance for Ms. Shoniwa, who said her father wanted her to be an ambassador. "My private achievement is when I look out at the crowd and see a rainbow tribe, all different ages and colors," she said. "Music should be about breaking down contrived divisions."Continue reading the main story

There is something special about a Maker Faire- beyond the boom of a fire-breathing robot, whistle of model steam train, klick of knitting needles or smell of solder in the air, there is a buzz. It isn't a sound but a feeling -like exploring a new city. Maker Faires have the anticipation of adventure- you never know what magic the next booth will bring or who you'll meet, but you know it will be awesome. From small towns to cities like Paris and Hong Kong Maker Faires are happening around the globe, but like the Rocky Mountains, the one we've got is pretty unique. Colorado is home to a diverse group of makers from cutting-edge tech developers, creative organizations like Meow Wolf and hobbyists building pinball exhibits and lifesized B-25 bombers. Over the years the Faire has been at a number of venues and this year we'll be at the National Western Complex. Along with the new location, the Denver Maker Faire has a new board of directors and event manager. Elise VanDyne, who had produced past Faires has taken a fabulous position in California working for the Russian River Chamber of Commerce. Her humor and passion for building an outstanding Faire will be missed.
Stepping into those mighty big shoes to fill is a group of enthusiastic individuals who are fresh to this Faire but longtime makers, fest planners, booth presenters and super geeks.
Managing the Faire this year, Dana Cain has won 14 "Best of Denver"Westword awards for events she owns and operates including "Best Annual Festival". If you've been to the the Denver Modernism Show or recent Unicorn Festival, you'll know how lucky we are to have her on the team. Her geek/maker creds are strong, just releasing a science fiction rock opera to CD and vinyl which she started working on in highschool.
Leading the board of directors for Making Progress Colorado, the non-profit who operates the Denver Maker Faire is Dan Griner. Currently Director of Design Strategy with Link Product Development and Lecturer at CU Denver. With roles as an Affiliate Professor at Metro State University, Director at DSK ISD in Pune India and Head of Jungbu District EPIK English Program in Korea, Dan has a diverse background in both professional and educational design practices. Former chair of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of IDSA Industrial Designers Society of America, he is well versed in facilitating non-profit groups to support the creative and financial potential of their individual members. But Dan is no stuffed shirt, look for the guy in the cool glasses and easy laughter who's unloading the truck or helping at the ticket booth and you've found our man.
Board member Kate Goodman is mostly a writer who finds herself in the role of professor and researcher for Inworks at CU Denver. Kate researches transformative experiences in higher education — those moments when students connect what they learn in the classroom with the "real world," which requires intrinsic motivation, and taps into perceptual expertise and creativity. In particular, she has looked at how engineering and other students learn in non-traditional learning environments. What kind of learning is happening when we actually make something instead of studying it? And how can we improve those experiences? Despite the tendency of academics to be insular, she has stayed deliberately polymathic, with publications in topics like engineering education, aesthetics of design, and bioinformatics.
Omar-Pierre Soubra is recognized as one of the international drivers of the Maker Movement, and has collaborated on a regular base with Make: magazine, actively participates at multiple Maker Faires around the World and is the initiator and organizer of the first annual Maker Faire Cape Town, South Africa, in August 2015. He also represented Trimble at the White House Champions of Change for Making in June 2016. He has developed several products for the construction, geospatial and architecture industries, with 16 international patents, in products combining optics, long range 3d scanning (LIDAR) and video camera solutions.
Our final board introduction is to Shawn Bowman, a subversive craft writer and artist who teaches comic creation and game design at Pop Culture Classroom for the producers of Denver Comic Con. Outside of the classroom, Bowman is an armchair gearhead and part owner of vintage sports car shop Ax and Allies Automotive which specializes in repair and restoration of pre 1980's British and French vehicles . A consummate creator, she has participated in a number of Maker Faires around the west, as booth presenter, speaker and enthusiastic fan girl. As a board member, Bowman aims to embrace the concept of "Tequity"; the active practice of creating situations and opportunities to promote underserved and underrepresented individuals and organizations in the tech and related fields; ensuring equal accessibility to information, career development and job security, leveling the playing field to create an industry which accurately reflects our community.
Moving forward, the production team relies on your input and support. If you'd like to become more involved in the Faire beyond a booth, please reach out- we'd be happy for more volunteer help, sponsorship or to get your feedback from previous Faires. And please nudge your maker friends to bring their own creations in October, there's nothing like workshopping your concept to a crowd of thousands to take a bright idea into the next big thing.
