Name: Liebe
Species: Augmented Human
Position: Razorwing I Head of Technical
- Agility: 1
- Electronics: 7
- Mechanics: 3
- Sense Motive: 3
- Stealth: 2
- Defence: 4 +1
- Melee: 4
- Light Weapons: 3
- Heavy Weapons: 3

Inventory of Equipment:

- Icarus/Lancer-Tech R1P Portable Railgun (+1d6 Heavy Weapons)
- Leather Jacket w/ Hood
- White "Serpent" Medium Armor (+2d6 Defense)
Notable Character Traits:
- I can talk to them… - Liebe can communicate with electronics, all kinds. He often talks to them for conversation, as he says that "Humans are always worrying and hurried, They like to take their time and have a pleasant, worry-less chat."
- Photographic Memory Card - Liebe can remember everything he's heard, seen, or touched to an incredible degree… well, mostly everything. Disk space isn't cheap, you know.
Notable Character Flaws:
- What's wrong with your face? - Liebe is what's known as an Aug - a type of human that has fused themselves with technology of any kind (from steampunk style to cyberpunk style). As such, he has a very altered appearance; an LCD screen where his face used to be, a speaker instead of a mouth, a keyboard embedded in his left arm, and various sockets on his chest and neck for quick interfacing. He stands out in public places, and prefers to stay on the ship.
- Cough cough - Liebe catches viruses like any computer, but they tend to hit him worse, as he still has human parts. He is also able, in rare cases, to transmit these viruses to other people, which can be quite catastrophic.
History (Optional):
Liebe is one of the few Augmented Humans to grace the Razorwing I. From birth to age 13, he lived on Earth IV in the Lantry System, and had a keen interest in robotics, technology, and anything to do with computers. After an accident that ended with his sister dead, and his parents wounded and broken from the loss, Liebe fell into a depression where his only social contact was over the SysNet (a much more advanced form of the internet that connected star systems). Some time during his isolation, he had started making small modifications to himself, before finally running away from home and augmenting himself to the point where he was no longer recognizable. At this point, he abandoned his old name and took up "Liebe" to express his love for everything that he does. He's quite friendly once you get past his shy nature, and will often tell people how their electronics feel about them.

Marie and John took their children to the U.P. as

A swing set and clubhouse are what backyard dreams are made of. This DIY version is custom built for a sloped backyard, and is made of decking lumber from a big box home improvement store. There's a childhood's-worth of adventures to be had, secrets to be shared, and memories to be made here.
8 Kids Clubhouses You Never Want to Outgrow
So many memories are made in the backyard. Every kid craves a little place of his or her own—a place to imagine and invent, plot and plan. A clubhouse is the perfect setting for all of childhood's dream making. You can buy one for the equivalent of downpayment on a car. Or, you can DIY one that's customized for your kiddo's capabilities and interests. Create a tree house, book nook, hideout, or fort—or maybe a little of each. There's a design to fit every family and physical location. Check out some of our favorite DIY clubhouse designs. Any one of them will keep the kids playing for hours.
Swing Time1/9
Converted Closet2/9
Wow! Clubhouses are not just for the outdoors. The facade of this indoor playhouse is merely the entrance to a large walk-in closet, outfitted as a play room. Beadboard and banisters come together for a beautiful front porch, that leads to the fun that waits inside.
Elevated Delight3/9
This elevated clubhouse hideaway is perfect for planning adventures, creating treasures, and even spying on the neighbors. With a slide as an escape route, and a picnic table for snacks, your kids could very well spend all day in your backyard. And when they're not there, you can kick back to enjoy the breeze and a book.
Tree House4/9
What kid doesn't dream of living in a tree house? This clubhouse, built among the trees, complete with hammock, skylight, and chalkboard wall, is a kid's real life fantasy. They just may stay out there all summer.
Backyard Getaway5/9
With moderate woodworking experience, you can construct this sweet backyard getaway, complete with stud walls and working windows. It requires standard decking, framing, and roofing construction, and features a custom door and skylight. It's more labor intensive than other designs, but well worth it for the result.
Adorable Annex6/9
Built with scraps leftover from the main residence, this playhouse boasts a loft that's just right for sleepovers. Putting the extra effort into a clubhouse interior is a small price to pay for hours of imaginative entertainment.
Secret Under Stair Hideaway7/9
Little kids tend to gravitate to small spaces. A mini closet under the stairs is ideal real estate for a secret hideaway for reading or play. This one is decorated with bold stenciling and wall art made from dollar bin bags stretched over square canvases.
Interior Art Nook8/9
Creating an interior art nook like this is as simple as building out two short walls on one side of a room and topping them with a little A-frame roof. The design is in the details, with beadboard and cedar shakes, bringing warmth and charm to this tiny artist's studio.

AACTE Decides Not To Support Teaching Board
Washington--In the first formal opposition to the national effort to certify highly skilled teachers, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education voted last week not to support the work of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
At its semiannual meeting here, the association's board of directors voted unanimously to urge the board to reconsider its proposed requirements for national certification.
Aacte, which represents more than 700 colleges and universities that train teachers, objected to the national board's decision not to tie eligibility for certification to such "quality controls" as state licensure and graduation from an accredited teacher-education program.
The national board had decided this summer to offer the opportunity to become nationally certified to any teacher who has a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution, and who has successfully completed three years of teaching at one or more elementary or secondary schools.
"The National Board purports in its initial policy report to complement existing controls, but in fact the board has proposed bypassing current program approval, licensure, and accreditation procedures," according to a statement released by John I. Goodlad, president of aacte, after the association's meeting last week.
The association "fears that the national board's approach to assure quality will lower the very quality the board seeks to elevate," the statement says.
The national board plans to develop a set of complex assessments of knowledge and performance with which to measure accomplished teaching. It intends to begin offering certificates in 29 fields by 1993.
James A. Kelly, president and chief executive officer of the national board, said there has been "zero" organized opposition to the board's stated goals.
"Aacte has been the only organization, as such, that has expressed reservations about the board, from among our hundreds of constituents,'' he said.
"The board believes that its policy framework is sound," Mr. Kelly said. "The board believes that its prerequisite requiring three years of experience for any candidate for board certification represents an acknowledgment of the importance of proper preparation and early experience."
In addition, he said, the framework "allows states, localities, and private schools themselves to determine the ground rules for getting that preparation and experience."
In establishing prerequisites for board certification, the 63-member board said requiring graduation from a teacher-education program would be "controversial and difficult to legitimize." The problem, the board said, is that such a requirement would exclude many otherwise qualified private- and postsecondary-school teachers.
Moreover, the board noted, such a requirement would raise the issue of what constitutes valid accreditation. Because state program-approval standards vary widely, it said, using them would not be fair.
The board argued that requiring graduation from a school accredited by a professional body, such as the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, would have limited certification only to graduates of ncate-approved institutions.
Finally, the board noted that "any education prerequisite runs up against the board's fundamental orientation toward performance rather than toward design standards."
Mr. Goodlad said, however, that "there is nothing more variable in America" than the quality of undergraduate programs and the first three years of teaching experience.
"If they put all their chips on the assessment" of certification candidates, he said of the board, "they're dead."
Aacte's directors said the national board had contradicted itself in rejecting requirements on state licensure and pedagogical preparation.
In its policy report, the directors noted, the board states that "the combination of a rigorous assessment, an extended course of professional study, and a well-supervised clinical practicum provides the strongest warrant of competence."
Such an acknowledgement is an argument in favor of professional training, said Mr.Goodlad, who is also director of the Center for Educational Renewal at the University of Washington.
"We're saying, 'If this option is both legitimate and not controversial in the other professions, why can it not be made legitimate for the teaching profession?"' he asked.
But Mr. Kelly said the board would be "vulnerable to that criti4cism" only if it had not required three years of employment. Most working teachers will have been required to graduate from a teacher-education program and will have been licensed by the state, the national board noted in its report.
The aacte directors did not disagree over whether to oppose the national board, said David G. Imig, the association's executive director. They did, however, debate whether to issue a public statement detailing their objections.
"We could not remain silent and add to an image that the teacher-education group is impotent," Mr. Goodlad said. "The only problem we had to deal with was the way in which we would state our objections. We feel the profession is being cheated."
Despite his reservations about the board's policies, Mr. Goodlad said he favors the development of better assessments of teacher performance. Initially, he said, he thought national certification would be "frosting on the cake," not a mechanism to supplant existing quality controls.
Arthur E. Wise, director of the rand Corporation's Center for the Study of the Teaching Profession, said aacte's vote "drives an unfortunate schism between the traditional teacher-education community and the national board."
"That is unfortunate," he said, "because I think that the two working in concert could strengthen each other."
"The national board, in holding itself out from the existing establishment and its procedures, is remaining agnostic with respect to whether teaching is, in fact, a knowledge-based profession," he added. "In the established professions, the way that you acquire knowledge is through formal study in professional schools."
In March 1988, aacte's governing board also opposed the national board's request for $25 million in research funds from the federal government.
Calling such funding a "sole-source award," the association argued that it would bypass the traditional mechanisms of peer review and open competition.
The national board's request for funds is pending in the Congress.

Opinion Analysis: CAAF issues opinion in Hasan v. Gross
It's posted on CAAF's website here. Hasan v. Gross, 71 M.J. 416, Nos. 13-8011/13-8012/AR (C.A.A.F. Dec. 3, 2012) (per curiam) (CAAFlog case page) (link to slip op.). Finding that a reasonable person would doubt the military judge's impartiality, CAAF unanimously ordered the military judge's removal from the case due to the appearance of bias. As a result, CAAF vacated Judge Gross's order to forcibly shave MAJ Hasan, as well as the six contempt citations.
CAAF explains that "the command, and not the military judge, has the primary responsibility for the enforcement of grooming standards. . . . A military judge's contempt authority is directed toward control of the courtroom. Although the military judge here stated that Appellant's beard was a 'disruption,' there was insufficient evidence on this record to demonstrate that Appellant's beard materially interfered with the proceedings." CAAF concluded that "taken together, the decision to remove Appellant from the courtroom, the contempt citations, and the decision to order Appellant's forcible shaving in the absence of any command action to do the same, could lead an objective observer to conclude that the military judge was not impartial towards Appellant."
CAAF ordered the "appropriate authority" to "detail a new military judge in this case."
29 Responses to "Opinion Analysis: CAAF issues opinion in Hasan v. Gross"
"in the absence of command action." I think some of us have said all along this was a command issue. Also, it seems that the prosecution is hoisted on it's own petard to some extent. Did not the TC argue they wanted to use his beard as evidence against him, therefore ignoring their command responsibility to take command action?
I'll set the over/under of Military Judges who 1) are qualified to replace COL Gross as Military Judge in this case and 2) want any part of this case at .5 — On the plus side, maybe we can begin focusing on that whole mass-murder thing I heard about 37 months ago.
I especially liked the part where the MJ asked the defense lawyers to clean poo. If I had a dollar for everytime a MJ asked me to clean poo…
With a new MJ his chances of acquittal and avoiding the DP go all the way up to zero.
This "per curiam" opinion reeks of judicial cowardice. First, no CAAF judge took credit for it. Second, the CAAF appears to have removed the judge from the case to avoid answering the tough question – whether the military judge could order Hasan shaved under the RFRA. Third, the CAAF fails to address how it has jurisdiction over this interlocutory matter . And fourth, the CAAF uses a judicial ruling (finding Hasan disruptive) to find bias – something that legally should not come into play in any decision to remove a judge. See Liteky v. US, 510 US 540 (1994) (noting that "judicial rulings alone almost never constitute a valid basis for a bias or partiality motion"). In order to find apparent bias, the CAAF needed to find something of substance from an extrajudicial source, meaning something above and beyond judicial rulings or opinions formed in presiding over the case. That is not what we have here. And without the military judge's judicial ruling about Hasan being disruptive, the CAAF is left with nothing of substance to find apparent bias. The fact that the judge and his family were on base when Hasan went on his rampage and the fact that the judge ordered the defense to clean the latrine after Hasan's bio-hazard bag was left on the floor are really of no moment. No reasonable person, knowing these two facts, would harbor doubts about the judge's impartiality. In any event, the right to the issuance of a writ here is neither clear nor indisputable.
westpointquaker: I would dispute your analysis. This shaving issue is a command issue, not a judicial issue. What should have happened is that the command should have taken action, not the judge. And, to Bill C's point, it is a heck of a lot easier to remove the judge now and end up sticking the needle in his arm in 15 years, than it would be to litigate this issue for years and end up with a reversal. Similarly, and this is just a general statement that goes to DP trial work generally versus this case, but I have never understood the notion of a TC in a DP case who wants to fight every issue with the defense — better to let a lot of issues go than to allow appellate issues creep up in DP cases.
"Colonel Pohl, please pick up the white courtesy phone."
JOC: I laughed, but then remembered that COL Pohl was the 32 IO, so there goes that. The field is narrow. This case strikes me as the right result but done the wrong way. I am not sure CAAF should have done this, but I think the government was walking in a mine field if Judge Gross stayed on the case. Some judges Christmas plans just got changed.
What are the chances of a judge from another service?
I agree with Cap'n Crunch . . . both the TC and the MJ were going down the road to reversal in this case. There is a chance to get the railroad back on the tracks with a new Military Judge that may enhance the probability of no reversal, however, that remains to be seen. Just for the record, if a MJ told me to clean up a bathroom after my paraplegic client had an alleged physical problem (whether it was mud or feces on the floor), I'd tell him to pound sand and get his own mop. The Army has custodial personnel to perform those fuctions and any officer who submitted to such an order probably needs to find a backbone. I hadn't heard about that before, but that would have sent me to war with the judge.
While we are sharing stories arounf the campfire,
I heard of an AF Judge (Bruce Smith) order a TC to pick up garbage that was left over from a picnic/function that was held during a court-martial.
The Chief Judge of the Army then COL Henley was detailed to the CM of a certain AF JA colonel. We, the Navy, used to use Army judges down in Panama years ago when "convenient."
They "could" detail a judge from another service, but I doubt they will. To have a judge from another service sit on this court-martial would be a strong argument that the multiple independent service judiciaries are not necessary and could be consolidated; kind of a BRAC for the judiciary. I won't be holding my breath. I think the USAF case was one that the USAF didn't really want to do that way, but had no real choice since the JA on trial was so senior and so connected to TJAG.
It is bad enough that judges ask lawyers to be their "water boys" but if the MJ ordered me to clean up crap, I would flat out refuse. There is no way that is a lawful order IMO.
Mr Gittens: Somewhat idle curiosity on my part. I'm used to a bit more intermingling, as it is not uncommon in the sea services. The Stirewalt case is an example from a few years back. Navy Judge and Navy defense counsel on retrial.
As for arguments regarding consolidation, I'm still wondering why the government appellate divisions have not long since been consolidated, esp. when it comes to cases before CAAF. One has multiple offices, all in DC, all representing the same client. Waste of resources and duplication of effort. No reason why one cannot have a consolidated office with divisions for each service and a command billet that rotates amongst the services.
CS: If they consolidated all of the AG and AD divisions, the services JAs would lose a bunch of flag billets. Rotating the flag billets for the AJAG Crim Law would never fly. I totally agree that consolidation makes sense, but there many rice bowls that would be broken, and those rice bowls will be jelously guarded.
Bill C: I am with you, bro. I'd take my chances with jury nullification.
So westpointquaker posts a pseudonymous comment to accuse CAAF's judges of judicial cowardice based on, inter alia, deciding Hasan through the vehicle of a per curiam opinion. I know who the five judges who issued that opinion are; I don't know who wespointquaker is.
westpointquaker also says that "CAAF fails to address how it has jurisdiction over this interlocutory matter." Perhaps CAAF saw no need to address it since the doctrine of potential appellate jurisdiction as a basis for issuing a writ is so well-established. See, e.g., FTC v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 603 (1966). The doctrine has been blessed by the Supreme Court in a military context: "we do not believe that there can be any doubt as to the power of the Court of Military Appeals to issue an emergency writ of habeas corpus in cases, like the present one, which may ultimately be reviewed by that court." Noyd v. Bond, 395 U.S. 683, 695 n.7 (1969). The Hasan case may ultimately go before CAAF on direct appeal; ergo, there can be no doubt that CAAF has the power to issue a writ in the case.
westpointquaker also offers a purported fact not included in CAAF's description of the facts. According to westpointquaker, "the judge ordered the defense to clean the latrine after Hasan's bio-hazard bag was left on the floor." According to CAAF's opinion, "Defense counsel . . . stated that Department of Emergency Services (DES) personnel determined that the substance on the floor was in fact mud tracked in by a DES guard." Perhaps westpointquaker could share his/her basis for writing that MAJ Hasan's biohazard bag was left on the head's floor.
Finally, westpointquaker accuses CAAF of judicial cowardice for not reaching the RFRA argument. Personally, I'm a fan of judicial restraint. Because of the military judge's removal, there was no need to address that issue. Hence CAAF didn't. The issue may now be resolved at the trial level without the need for further judicial intervention. CAAF's approach fosters such an outcome, which is preferable to CAAF making new law when it isn't necessary. If the issue isn't resolved at the trial level, CAAF can always intercede later should the need arise.
With dew respect, the MJ should have recused himself upon the first application. Perhaps a CLE in "Recusal 101" is in order at the Judge's school. Am I the only one (probably old enough other than the Admiral here) to sense the irony in CAAF's citing Nichols v. Alley, 71 F.3d 347, 352 (10th Cir. 1995)?
Nichols was the infamous Terry Nichols of the Oklahoma Bombing case, and Wayne Alley, the federal District Court Judge, was an Army JAG and Military Judge alumnus.
The other "fact of interest" was CAAF's setting aside all of the contempt citations – multiple inferences are of course possible, but one certainly is that the MJ's animus towards Hasan was multifacited. Just my 2 cents.
Once again, COL Sullivan points out the irony (or is it hypocrisy? I can often confuse the two) of anonymous posters taking pot shots at named individuals. I completely understand the reasoning behind deciding on a nom de plume when posting about MJ topics. I generally believe, though, that those who post under their actual name are forced to be more thoughtful. So Bravo! to Zach, Mike, Charlie, Phil, JO'C, Gene, Judge Mathews and the others who swing on this trapeze without a net.
Mike: How about the TC stops the MJ, in process, and says "Sir, with all due respect, we believe that this is a command issue, and not a MJ issue, and we will take this issue up with our client." I don't know, just my thoughts.
Mr. Sullivan,
I don't know about Westpointer, but I read that bit about the poop on faux news. I mean false news. I mean fox…
@JohnHarwood: Did you receive the benefit of then-Maj Sullivan's NJS presentation on irony? It's in my top 10 best 15 minutes of BLC!
You mean rain on your wedding day isn't ironic?
Come to think of it, when Daryl Hannah is hiding outside the firehouse in "Roxanne," and Steve Martin offers her a coat, she says "No , I would like to stand out here in this bush in the freezing cold", she later says that she was being "ironic." She really wasn't. She was being sarcastic. Perhaps that's why she was an astronomer and not a writer. And why didn't Steve Martin correct her? He seemed to be a writer, at least as much to know what kind of paper really soaks up the ink.
Compare that to Good Will Hunting where Sean invites Gerry to the class reunion of '72 where the drinks are free and offers to buy him a drink, Sean invokes the correct use of irony, but, ironically says he is being "ironical." Ironical isn't even a word, is it?
Ironically, yes it is a word.
Here is my takeaway and 2 cents: CAAF had the opportunity to define the outer boundaries of a MJ's contempt power and, simply put, they punted. All this at the expense of Judge Gross' reputation, based on the most minimal evidence of apparent bias.
That said, I disagreed that a MJ has authority to order an Accused forcibly shaved. Now we are left in limbo as to how CAAF would rule on that issue. If an Accused refuses to shower, can the MJ force him to shower? We don't know. If the Accused refuses to wear his uniform, can the command forcibly dress him? We don't know. I would hope that the answer to those questions is "no", but CAAF passed on a prime opportunity to provide guidance to its trial judges and the command.
Yes, the tactical decisions by the goverment to allow this to get this far were horrible, but I wont go into that.

Differences Between High Definition Display Modes
Available Resolutions: 480, 720, 1080
If you have been television shopping recently you most likely have noticed 720i, 720p, 1080i or 1080p stamped all over every flat panel television you have looked at.
If you are not tech savvy, this can be extremely confusing. Luckily it is a lot easier to understand than you probably think.
The number indicates the number of horizontal scan lines the TV is capable of producing if the appropriate signal is hooked up. The letter than follows the number, will either be i or p.

U.S. Foils Al-Qaeda, but Blows Own Cover Again
If there's one thing that's worked in this Al-Qaeda plot that caused 22 American embassies and consulates to close, it is the surveillance system that Edward Snowden took such pride in exposing, while accusing the U.S. of wanting to control the lives of its citizens.
That information could now fall, and most likely has by now fallen, into the hands of Snowden's new best friend, Russian President Vladimir Putin. The rest is pretty much also a debacle; and America's debacles, as far as the war on terror is concerned, are always Europe's as well. According to a leak from the U.S. government, Al-Qaeda held a conference call, intercepted by the CIA — with no fewer than 20 leaders scattered all over the world. We have learned that their plan was to seize power in a Middle Eastern country now devastated by arms trafficking, money, savagery, and international terrorism: Yemen.
These accumulating failed states can easily become more Afghanistans: perfect hiding places, basically countries from which new countries can be conquered. The Yemenite government announced yesterday that it had just foiled a planned coup d'état by Al-Qaeda, that had called for the conquest of the cities Al-Mukalla and Ghayl Bawazir, pivotal points for the oil trade. In the main part of the operation — the plan to attack the Mina al-Dhaba terminal — Al Qaeda would undoubtedly have taken hostage the foreign experts working there.
American fear now seems as widespread as Islamist extremism. It seems to be a fear of practical and ideological loss in the face of the instability and carnage that now dominate the Middle East, and the need to do anything about it. What makes America's fear damaging is the current administration's refusal to admit that a war — such as the one under way from Syria to Egypt, from Yemen to Libya to Tunisia — requires a courageous Middle Eastern policy. The U.S. administration seems to have thought that the democratic movements behind the revolutions would put an end to terrorism, and would be supported the Muslim Brotherhood. The U.S. seems to have thought that the Muslim Brotherhood was moderate. To some extent, this misinformed belief actually still exists. In the meantime, Syria is a new meeting point for international Sunni al-Qaeda, a powder keg waiting to happen; and the other terrorist group, Hezbollah, on the orders of Iran, is strengthening its new Shiite al-Qaeda forces every day.
In response, the U.S. President went on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," a television show known for its light-hearted irony, to explain that there has been "no overreaction by the United States with the closing of the embassies and consulates," — which at the time, when it was still unclear which country the al-Qaeda leaders on conference call had selected, was a prudent decision. He also said that the threat of attacks is "significant," and that, despite an American counterattack, the terrorist organization is very much alive and well. Good news, which, according to the President of the United States, justifies closing its embassies.
After the attacks on the prisons in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan, on the anniversary of Mumbai, Gluboky and Jakarta, with the memory of Nairobi and Dar es Salaam and the murder of the U.S. ambassador in Benghazi, Obama was ready to put up a fight — just not against the terrorists. Now al-Qaeda seems to have one of its central headquarters in Yemen, under the command of Nasser al-Wahishi. AQAP [al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula], as the organization is called; and, as is the operational structure of al-Qaeda, it is certainly capable of independant operations. So is Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria and others in Tunisia, Sinai and everywhere throughout the vast regions North Africa, the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri may be isolated in Pakistan, but he is still free to contemplate the next moves of his army.

1. Realize That You Have a Free Will
Many times people think that circumstances determine the direction of their life, but that is not so true. Have you ever thought about how those circumstances were created in your life? It is how we respond to the things that happen in our life that has a much greater impact and sets us up for the good or for the bad.
One thing that is given to all of us is a free will; we have to exercise that aspect of our life. If we don't, impulses take over and fear and anxiety will develop our habits and habits develop our character and character develops our destiny. We are able to choose to act in a different way or at least learn to act differently and make choices toward life, love, peace and be filled with joy.
2. Realize That It Is You Who Has To Take Action
Make a decision and connect with that decision as much as possible. You can do that by writing things down. And then the most important part is to choose to take action. Not taking action is also a choice. You don't have to do anything. Every action or non-action has consequences. Exercising our will gives you the power and the freedom to choose where we are in life and what we will do. That is when life changes from an obligation to a blessed opportunity.
3. Realize That You Can Take The Path of Life.
When we are influenced by outside forces, we might make the decision to give in and take the path of least resistance. If we go for immediate gratification we usually end up in mediocre conditions and we feel less fulfilled than that we had hoped for. Every choice that we make leads us either away from our destiny or right into our destiny where we will experience life to the fullest.
You determine what you are going to do. Don't let another man's weakness determine what you're going to do. That can mess up your life and steer you off course in life.
4. Realize That Your Commitment is Very Important.
Commitment to yourself is very important; if you don't care for yourself, you betray yourself and in the long run even punish yourself. You have to be able to commit yourself to make good choices, whatever it takes. Don't let your impulses just run wild and make you a slave to yourself. Only when you have sufficient self-worth to choose whether to end something of value to you, you can fully commit to it.
Only when you learn to commit to yourself will you stop your self-sabotaging behaviour. Unless you realize you have the power to say no, you can never really say yes. Not to your relationships, not to your work, not to your life, not to anything. If you realize what it means to say no to something, you also will realize what it means to say yes to something.
5. Realize that your choices affect the world around you.
So, look further. Your family will be influenced by big choices and sometimes also smaller choices. Take that in consideration. Remember: good choices will bring good things and bad choices will bring not such good things.
Steve D'Annunzio says it this way: "Fear-driven people constantly fight, desire-driven people constantly want, pride-driven people constantly manipulate, mission-driven people constantly learn and teach, love-driven people constantly serve and enlighten…it's always your/my choice" – What drives you?
6. Realize that when you make choices for others you have to be careful.
Your intention can be good, but assuming too much responsibility for others deprives them of the lessons that arise from the choices they have made. People like your input, but nobody wants their life to be ruled by others. Remember, we have been given a free will.
7. Realize that you have the power to change your destiny.
I don't have to know you to know that God has created a part for you on earth, it is a part that only you can play, a suit/or dress that only you can fit and a divine destiny that only you can fulfill.
Forget about trying to fit someone else's mould. Keep your thoughts and emotions free of those kinds of obstacles by accepting yourself and the unique destiny that God has pre-ordained for you!
Use your emotions for the purpose God gave them, and don't let the devil use them for his purpose. Embrace life with passion and use your emotions wisely. God wants to use them to help you enjoy your life, but the devil wants to use them to prevent you from enjoying life. The good news is the choice is up to you.

I just realized today that most of my recent blog postings have concerned our 4-year-old. So it's time to give our 7-year-old his due, because he's been a pretty busy dude, too:
— Cub Scouts is becoming a pretty big deal. He joined because his best friend did, but now he's really getting into the Scout groove. The den meetings are pretty, well, chaotic, but the kids also learning a lot. Already this year, we've reviewed flag etiquette, observed the life habits of bees, and participated in the "Scout Olympics." Next up: Popcorn sales, the Scouts' only fundraiser. We've got 11 samples in the back of our car right now, if anyone's interested in ordering.
— He's moving into "Prime Time," a program for second and third graders that have shown exceptional talents in specific areas. Seems in this phase of the program, he'll be working on a research project. Really? Research? In second grade? I don't think these kids will have the analytical skills or methodology of Thomas Edison or Madame Curie. I'll be interested to see what they'll end up researching. The attack sets of grass-type Pokemon, perhaps? But all kidding aside, it proves what we already knew — he's well above average.
— I think soccer may be the sport for him. We've joined the local recreation department's soccer league, which plays just once a week during the fall, as an intro to gauge interest, and he's been pretty into it so far. He's showing a competitive spirit without going over the top. The games, right now, are pure fun, and there's no score being kept. If he enjoys it, that'll be time for the next phase. If he wants it, that is.
— And then there's just the school routine, which fits him well. His homework is almost too easy, but that sometimes leads to him not fully focusing on the task at hand. When he gets his stick-tuitiveness engaged, he's quite an amazing force.
We're in a good place. Makes me wish I was 7 again.

Potato & Corn Frittata
Serving Size: 5
Prep Time:
Total Time:
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup coarsely shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
- 6 egg
- 2 cup corn kernels
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp dried thyme
- 1 large baking potato, peeled and diced
- 2 scallions (green and white parts), chopped
- 2 garlic clove, minced
- 2 Tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Position an oven rack 3 inches from the broiler and preheat.
- Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, and add the garlic, scallions, potato, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, resisting the urge to stir. Remove the lid, flip the mixture so the other side can brown, and then cook for 5 minutes longer. Add the corn and cook for a few minutes longer, to heat through.
- Beat the eggs in a medium bowl, then add the cheese, parsley, and salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet, stirring just to mix with the potatoes. Cook without stirring (shaking occasionally to loosen it) until the bottom is golden but the top is still runny, 8 to 10 minutes. Finish the frittata by placing it under the broiler and cooking about 2 minutes until the top is golden and set. Slide onto a serving plate.

Disclaimer: The serial dramas considered for this list were lengthy but not exhaustive. (As long as serial dramas are being produced and there are only 24 hours in a day, I will not be caught up on everything ever.) Additionally, factors such as genre, structure, language, and years active also limited the sample size. Please, before writing me an indignant email about True Detective* not making the cut (or even being considered), note the preliminary criteria used prior to ranking:
- I have watched it
- Primary Genre: Drama (i.e. Gilmore Girls, yes. Sex and the City*, no.)
- Primary Structure: Serial (i.e. The Good Wife, yes. House*, no.)
- Premiered on basic/cable/premium television or streaming
- Aired for a minimum of three seasons (i.e. Felicity, yes. Firefly*, no.)
- Filmed in English (regardless of country of origin)
[*Trust me, I love these shows!]
All things considered, there were 33 series which qualified. The ranking in which I then placed the top 10 of those 33, on the other hand, had a looser set of criteria and was based on my personal biases as a television scholar, screenwriter, and filmmaker, the strongest of which are: narrative arc, character arc, and thematic originality.
In other words, this list would more fittingly be called: The Top Ten Best English Language, Primarily Dramatic, Primarily Serialized Television or Streaming Series of A Three Season Minimum That Ximena Has Seen… So Far. Without further ado.
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Consistently invented and reinvented the wheel for a universal drama with a female lead, as well as teenage angst, without ever taking itself seriously. Oh the writers born in that writer's room.
2. Lost: A groundbreaking smorgasbord of narrative misdirection, musical scoring, ensemble casting, and poignant melodramatic effect like never before on television.
3. Battlestar Galactica: Braved deeply into the essence of being human, human beings, spirituality and philosophy with and without pointing blame at all of the above.
4. The Wire: A narrative so complex and grounded in reality that it told the same story five times and, like reality, could find no answer. Not only defines an era but stands the test of time in an uncanny way.
5. The Sopranos: The first series to accurately depict the repulsive yet alluring dark side of masculinity and the New American Dream (see #6 and #7)
6. Mad Men**: A sophisticated and unprecedented glance into the secrets and silences hidden within an era and a man; ultimately a mirror of our own pasts (see #5 and #7).
7. Breaking Bad: Walter White was the Michael Corleone of television. His metamorphosis is the ultimate, and most devastating, of all character arcs (see #5 and #6)
8. Twin Peaks: Bended and blended genres and possibilities as to what television could be long before it was. It mystified audiences by experimenting with the mind the possibilities of visual serial narrative.
9. Friday Night Lights: A rarely optimistic and somehow realistic gem which glimpsed into an America where hard work and doing the right thing could (and can?) result in success.
10. The Good Wife**: The first series to approach what #5-7 did for masculinity, for women: create a character arc defined by the special and devious price a woman pays to "make it".
Very Honorable Mention:
Oz: The OG and Grandfather of the Golden Age of Television. The deep dark themes of today are there because Oz went there first.

Spend less on advertising – Research has shown that world-class Customer service organizations spend less on advertising than the rest of their industry. Why? Because they have an unpaid sales force — their existing Customers. See: Smoking Gun blog post
Brand Evangelists – Carter Mario Law Firm, specializing in personal injury, has six locations throughout Connecticut and is a classic example of this theory. When Carter Mario started tracking the source of incoming calls, (the backbone of their business) in 2006 roughly 30% of their calls came from word of mouth/referral sources and the approximately 70%, came from paid advertising. By the graph below, you can see the positive growth of the law firm's word of mouth calls, (2006-2012) and last year they eclipsed 60%!
A world-class hospitality law firm – What changed or what was the driving force behind this movement? "While we thought we were client centric, we realized we were relative to injury attorneys, which means we were the best of a lousy group," says Carter Mario. "In 2007 our entire organization including receptionists, in-take specialists, administrative positions, and attorneys, became obsessed with being a world-class Customer service company, benchmarked against anyone in any other industry." That they did! Carter Mario Law Firms are well known for their Customer service. I featured them in my 2nd book, What's the Secret?, and Carter Mario himself shared his story at our Secret Service Summit, where his company won the Secret Service System Award, presented to only one amazing Customer service organization per year."
Store Charges Customers 'Just Looking' Fee – A store has had it with Customers walking around the store without buying anything. As a result, Redditor Barrett Fox posted a picture of a sign informing shoppers of a new "just looking fee" at a specialty food store in Brisbane, Australia. The fee is $5.00. I can't make this stuff up. Look at the sign below.
Begging to go out of business – This is one of the worst policies I have ever heard of. No business makes it very longtreating Customers like this. If people are not buying from you, you need to figure out why; is it price, product, or service? Then fix it, don't punish the Customer. Obviously they haven't heard of the saying, "Don't punish 98% of your Customers for what you are afraid of 2% might do."
Be the Best at What Matters Most – What if you, your team, or your entire organization had absolute clarity aboutwhat was most important, and that's where all of your energy was focused? Imagine the force multiplier of that kind of shared sense of direction, purpose, and priorities. My mentor, idol and friend, Joe Calloway has just released his newest book; Be the Best at What Matters Most! Be the Best at What Matters Most reveals the one essential strategy for business leaders, entrepreneurs and those who aspire to lead. Simplify the way you think about your business. Success isn't about doing everything. It's about doing the most important things. To get Joe's new book click here
Real Customer service should be called 'custom' service.

"She circled it with red ink and referred to it nightly. Life: a constellation of vital phenomena
–organization, irritability, movement, growth, reproduction, adaptation."
from A Constellation of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra
A brilliant and beautiful story of love and sacrifice

The New York Times Book Review called Anthony Marra's debut novel, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, "a 21st-century War and Peace." The Washington Post extolled it as "a flash in the heavens that makes you look up and believe in miracles." Marra's brilliant tale of love and forgiveness in war-torn Chechnya is a New York Times bestseller, on a dozen national "best ten" lists, the winner of the 2014 National Book Critics Circle's inaugural John Leonard Prize, on the shortlist for the 2014 PEN/Robert W. Bingham prize for debut novel, and was recently named Book of the Year by the Northern California Independent Booksellers.
In addition to the honors mentioned above, Marra is the winner of a Whiting Award, a Pushcart Prize, the Narrative Prize, the 2014 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in fiction, and the inaugural 2014 Carla Furstenberg Cohen Fiction Award. A Constellation of Vital Phenomena was a National Book Award longlist selection as well as a shortlist selection for the Flaherty-Dunnan first novel prize. Marra's work has also been anthologized in The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2012.
Marra received an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and was a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, where he now teaches as the Jones Lecturer in Fiction. He has lived and studied in Eastern Europe, and currently resides in Oakland, California. A Constellation of Vital Phenomena is his first novel. Find more information about him at http://anthonymarra.net/
Stories on Stage, the popular, award-winning series where actors perform short stories, is celebrating its fifth year. It takes place on the final Friday of each month, customarily at the Sacramento Poetry Center.

A network contract is required so that electricity can be supplied to a place of consumption on a daily basis. In a network contract, we agree on the conditions of electricity supply, the price package of the network service and the contact details for providing information like notifications about scheduled outages.
A network contract has to be signed when you buy an apartment or a house and it has to be terminated when you sell your apartment or house. When you move in, the former consumer has to terminate their contract and you have to sign a new network contract.
If the power supply has been discontinued at your consumption point, you have to pay to reconnect the power in the metering point at the time the network contract is signed. More about the reconnection fee »
You may withdraw from a network contract within 14 days of signing if you are a private individual who has signed the contract electronically or outside the network operator's business premises. To withdraw like this, you need only send your withdrawal notice before the end of the deadline for withdrawal.
Instructions on withdrawing from a network contract (doc) »
A contract should be terminated when you sell your home or when the consumer changes.
Your network contract will terminate:
Where we have shut the power off, turning it back on is always a paid service.
A network contract can be terminated simply in the e-service. You can always terminate a contract by giving at least 30 days notice.
You should send us your meter readings after you terminate your network contract. The easiest way to send us your readings is in our e-service together with the termination application.
If you are moving house and know who the new owner of your old place will be, you should agree on the readings at which the ownership will be transferred. You can then enter the meter readings in the e-service when you terminate your network contract. This is not necessary if you have a remotely read meter.
When a network contract is terminated, the electricity contract for the consumption point is always terminated as well. You do not need to terminate the electricity contract separately. Termination of an electricity contract by a business customer can result in an extra fee being charged for premature termination.
You have to select a suitable package for the network service when signing a network contract.
Five network service packages are available to places of consumption with a network connection of up to 63 A (detached houses, summer houses, smaller business premises, apartments).
The best way to compare network packages and find the best one is to use the network package calculator available in our e-service. Customers who are signing a new network contract will find the calculator when starting to sign the contract in our e-service.
The consumption volume presented in the Figure is approximate, presuming that day and night consumption is equal.
Example: In a detached house with a 25 A main fuse, the best package is:
As for detached houses, the best package can be chosen for apartments on the basis of annual consumption:
To sign a new network contract, the new tenant has to have consent from the owner to terminate the current network contract. The owner has to send us a relevant application. The new tenant must then sign a new network contract. The easiest way to do this is to use our e-service. After having signed a network contract the new tenant can choose an electricity seller.
You can end your network contract at any time by giving us at least 30 days notice. The easiest way to terminate a contract is to use our e-service. See our e-service for more information about terminating a network contract.
If the owner of a point of consumption changes, then the old owner must end the network contract and the new owner must sign a new contract. The easiest way to do everything connected with moving house is to use our e-service. After signing the network contract you can sign an electricity contract with your preferred electricity seller.
You can find your contract number on your bill. You can also find it on the contract you have signed and in our e-service.
Please e-mail a copy of the document showing your change of name to firstname.lastname@example.com.
If your place of consumption is in the Elektrilevi network area but the details for your place of consumption are not listed in our e-service, contact us by e-mail email@example.com or call 777 1545.
After you end your network contract, we will issue you a final bill showing the payment for the consumption up to the meter readings recorded when the contract was ended.
You cannot suspend a network contract. If electricity is not used, billing can be suspended. If you stop consuming electricity for a certain period in our network area, please notify us in advance by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 777 1545. This will allow us to suspend billing and stop estimating consumption for the Elering data warehouse, which is used to issue electricity bills.
Yes, a holder of a letter of authorisation can also submit the documents needed to conclude the contract. The contract will be signed in the name of the applicant.
You can sign a network contract at any time in the e-service. It is the easiest channel for signing contracts.
It does not have to be the owner of the place of consumption who signs the network contract. The physical or legal person actually using electricity at the place of consumption or authorised by the contract holder to sign an electricity contract can do it.
There is no fee for signing a network contract. Find more information on the network contracts page »
You cannot suspend a network contract. If electricity is not used, billing can be suspended so that we will not estimate the electricity consumption for this place of consumption. This is why it is important that you inform us by e-mailing email@example.com or by calling 1545, if you will not be using electricity in our network area for a while. In this case the electricity supply is normally not disconnected unless there is a debt for earlier consumption. You can ask for your electricity supply to be disconnected if you like.

Cappadocia City Map
Ihlara Canyon
valley is situated 40km from Aksaray and can be reached
making a turn at the 11th km of the Aksaray-Nevsehir road.
The canyon was created by the cracking and collapsing which
occurred as a result of basalt and andesite lava from Mt.
Hasandag's eruption. The Melendiz river found its way
through these cracks, eroding the canyon bed and helping to
form canyon we see today. The Melendiz river used to be
called "Potamus Kapadukus"meaning the River of Cappadocia.
14km long, 100 -150m high valley begins at Ihlara and ends
at Selime. There are numerous dwellings, churches and graves
built into the valley walls, some of which are connected by
tunnels and corridors.
The valley proved to be an ideal place for the seclusion and
worship of monks, and a hideaway and defense area for people
during times of invasion.
The decorations in the churches can be dated to various
times from the 6th to the 13th centuries, and the churches
can be classified into two groups. The churches near to
Ihlara display frescoes with oriental influence. Those
nearer to Belisirma display Byzantine type decorations.
Very few Byzantine inscriptions in this area can be read.
Above a 13th century fresco in the church of St. George (Kirkdamatl),
the names of Seljuk Sultan Mesud II (1282 - 1305) and the
Byzantine Emperor Andronicos II are inscribed. This is
proof of the tolerance of the Seljuk rulers. The best
preserved frescos are to be found in the churches of
Agacalti, Purenliseki, Kokar, Yilanli and Kirkdamatli.
