- Former President George W. Bush will headline fundraising events for a handful of Republicans this week and next week, ahead of the November midterm elections.
- Bush is set to boost House and Senate candidates running in Texas, North Dakota, and Florida. The 43rd president's latter appearance will be in support of Gov. Rick Scott, who is running for a Senate seat in the Sunshine State.
- The moves follow those of former President Barack Obama, who began campaigning for Democrats, and publicly rebuking President Donald Trump for the first time in earnest last week.
- Unlike, Obama, who is holding full-scale campaign rallies for some party candidates, events featuring Bush will be invitation-only.
Former President George W. Bush is set to headline some fundraising events for Republican candidates ahead of the November midterm elections.
Bush will hold closed-door fundraisers in Texas and Florida this week and next week in support of House and Senate candidates, Politico reported Tuesday. Republicans are looking to the 43rd president to help bolster candidates in key races, and help the party hold on to its majorities in Congress.
Bush follows former President Barack Obama, who began campaigning for Democratic Party candidates, and publicly rebuking President Donald Trump, for the first time in earnest last week.
Bush has only been quietly critical of Trump, and has never called him out by name, but in an October 2017 speech, he took a veiled shot at Trump saying, "we've seen nationalism distorted into nativism," and the "return to isolation sentiments and forgetting that American security is directly threatened by the chaos and despair of distant places."
The comments were a reference to the Trump administration's push away from longtime allies and norms in favor of what observers have called an isolationist agenda.
On Friday, Bush is scheduled to host a fundraiser for Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who is running for a Senate seat in that state.
Trump endorsed Scott in the primary, but Scott has been distancing himself from the president in recent days, CNN reported, as turmoil surrounds the current administration and Trump's job-approval rating sinks to new lows.
Trump has backed the Republican candidate vying to take Scott's keys to the Florida governor's mansion.

Due to scheduling, it's the unlikely USC and Washington State at 3-0 to open conference play. The caveat is USC, which is on a five-game win streak overall, defeated UCLA on the road Dec. 30 — four days before the Pac-12's big opening weekend with all 12 teams. The start in conference play is the best for USC (10-5, 3-0) since 1993-94 when the Trojans posted a 10-0 record in the first stretch of Pac-10 play. For WSU (9-6, 3-0), the quirk is it played three games in five days as part of the conference's new scheduling to accommodate the addition of No. 17 Colorado and Utah two years ago. The Pac-12 also installed an intentional back-to-back rivalry play the same week to allow it to move up its conference tournament for more television exposure heading into NCAA tournament selections. WSU started 3-0 during the 2011-12 season, finishing conference play at 5-13 overall. That start was the true focus of the Cougs on Monday when it beat Washington (8-6, 1-2) for the first time since February 1995. The rematch is Saturday at 3pm at Alaska Airlines Arena. The game will air on Pac-12 Networks. "Our tough preseason definitely helped us," WSU coach June Daugherty said of beating then-No. 10 Nebraska (76-72) on the road in November and experiencing tough losses at BYU (80-73) and against then-No. 24Gonzaga (70-62) in December. In both losses, the Cougs worked themselves back into position to win but couldn't hit free throws or get defensive stops to pull the upset. Yet, the breakthrough win of the season may be snapping the streak against Washington. WSU celebrated on the court like it won a title, then dismissed the significance to media in postgame interviews. In stating constant "talk" about "the streak" was "silly," Daugherty attributed the repetitive question to former Seattle Times reporter Dick Rockne, who retired in 2001 after a 37-year career. But in covering "the streak" since 2007, Daugherty did her share of repetition in making sure I knew she started said streak. "It's interesting, because I'm the one that started the streak and now I'm the one in charge of stopping the streak. It's kind of weird in that way," Daugherty told me in 2011. "That in itself is a pretty big charge. So, just staying focused on that and trying to keep the personal side out of it is very, very important." I'm probably the only one who feels relief now that "the streak" is over. Now I can write about the teams that finally have the pieces to make this a true rivalry for the upcoming decade. You know, by WSU winning more than Tuesday in the upcoming 18 years. G Lia Galdeira is an incredible talent, Canadian junior Shalie Dheensaw is willing to put in work to be an anchor inside and Daugherty seems to have grown from errors at UW to be a better coach for WSU. On the other side of the state, you have two-time All-Pac-12 G Jazmine Davis, high school All-Americans Katie Collier (2012) and Kelsey Plum (2013) and F Talia Walton, who's near averaging a double double despite knee pain. It adds to a possibility of at least three more must-see matchups between the schools, including Saturday. But some truths have to be told about WSU's historic win on Tuesday. Mainly the mismatches created by injuries and a key mistake by first-year UW coach Mike Neighbors. First the error, Neighbors admitted he sat F Aminah Williams too long in the opening half. Yes, the junior was tagged for two quick fouls. But post play was the key in keeping UW close despite another sluggish start like the one in a loss to ASU on Sunday. Collier and freshman C Chantel Osahor were substituted into the game for Williams, Collier tying the score at eight points with 14:16 remaining. She tied the game, again, at 14 points apiece with 10:27 left in the opening half. Neighbors had to take her out of the game, however, because she's still returning from a hamstring injury and limited in minutes. UW was down 22-16, Galdeira and Alexas Williamson hitting three-pointers to show it was ready to counter to UW's zone. Instead of re-entering Williams, Neighbors went with Mathilde Gilling. The Danish junior is improving but not enough to be in a pivotal game at a teetering moment. WSU continued its 16-4 run by driving shots inside to build a 30-18 when Collier was placed back into the game. She helped work the lead down to 38-32 on a made FT with 1:33 left in the half, Galdeira making show-stopping plays off missed baskets by Davis and Plum — the final breaking down Davis' defense by working the UW star into bumping into Collier for a layin at the horn sounding halftime. Based on the start, Williams playing at any point during the half likely would have prevented the once 13-point deficit for UW and 42-32 haltime lead for WSU. "There was a little bit," of second-guessing in putting Williams back in the game in the first half, Neighbors said. "She's so valuable to us. I probably should have played her earlier. I trusted her. She never even got the third foul (in the game). It disrupted her flow a little bit." As expected, Davis rallied her team back into the game in the second half. She hit two three-pointers early, scoring 20 of her final 27 points after the break. Collier, again, was making key defense moves to alter shots and get one block. But she was knocked out of the game for good with 9:13 left and UW down 63-60, matching WSU three-pointers with its own. Collier, who's worked her way back from cancer and a season-ending knee injury last year in addition to the hamstring, knocked her head did not to even move once the injury happened on a loose ball. "It hurt us emotionally because Katie is that person for us," Davis said. "She plays a big part in (our) energy. So, it was kind of sad, like 'Whoa! Katie are you OK?' We were a little worried for her, especially with the injuries that she's had. It was nothing like that…but it was a loss. We handled it pretty well." Collier walked off the court on her own and appeared fine after the loss. The difference in the game was obvious, however, in the ensuing mismatches. Dheensaw, who's 6 foot 4, got two putbacks over UW senior Mercedes Wetmore (5-8) and Williams (6-0) to put the Cougs up 80-76 with 58 seconds left in the game. Plum pulled UW back within two. Unlike last year, though, Galdeira iced the win with two made FTs with 15 seconds left. "It's a really good team," Neighbors said of WSU. "There's enough teams in the country that'll vouch for it. For us to be able to come back like we did, there's nothing to change. We have to do what we did better for longer." Osahor, another player working her way back from injury, couldn't hit a heave from beyond halfcourt with three seconds left to win at the buzzer. As a side note, she nailed a seated trick-shot from the stands at practice on Monday, so the possibility of the game-winner wasn't that unrealistic. Dheensaw, the difference-maker in the game, had 10 of her final 11 points and nine of her final 14 rebounds after the break. It was her first career double-double, averaging 12.6 minutes off the bench last year. "Shaile had her best game as a Coug," Daugherty said. "We've been doing two-a-days with the frontline since we came back after Christmas. They were not happy with the way that they were playing. They obviously responded big with the first three wins in the Pac-12." Galdeira said the game-scout was to stop Plum, not Davis. The reigning Pac-12 freshman of the week, Plum was 2-for-4 from the field after the break. She finished with 11 points overall. But UW shoot 53.6 percent from the field in the second half. Williams never scored again after her early two baskets. You can't dismiss WSU's improved play this season with the UW glitches. The Cougs are on a different mission. WSU considered it a "slap in the face" to be picked to finish ninth in the conference in preseason polls and is using it as motivation. It seems to have the right team to end that misconception, too. "We have the leadership now and the talent now to understand you have to come out and play for 40 and get it done," said Daugherty, who has three seniors on the roster. "When we're healthy (and) our inside game is improving, we can beat anybody. We'll use this as a confidence builder and we'll keep growing."

[JURIST] Palestinian rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and Israeli military reprisals "constitute serious violations of the laws of war" [press release], according to a report [PDF text] released Sunday by Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website]. The report found that Palestinian militant groups, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al-Aqsa Martyr Brigades, and the Popular Resistance Committees [MIPT backgrounders], deliberately launched approximately 2,700 rockets against Israeli civilian positions between September 2005 and May 2007, killing four and wounding 75 Israelis, and causing at least 23 Palestinian casualties. HRW also criticized the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) [official website] for firing more than 14,600 artillery shells close to civilian populated areas in Gaza during the same period, killing 59 Palestinians and wounding 270.
In its report, HRW wrote:
The Palestinian rocket attacks violate international humanitarian law, also known as the laws of war, which governs the conduct of the parties during armed conflict. Where an attack on a military target is intended and that target is in or near a civilian area, the Palestinian rocket attacks are indiscriminate because they cannot distinguish between military targets and civilians. Where there is no intended military target and the rockets are launched into a civilian area, they constitute deliberate attacks against civilians. Given that the rocket attacks have inflicted very little damage on Israeli military assets, their primary purpose seems to be to kill civilians or at least to spread terror among the Israeli civilian population, both of which IHL prohibits.
Even assuming the rocket attacks were intended as reprisal for Israeli attacks that kill and injure civilians, as Palestinian groups often claimed, they still are unlawful under international humanitarian law. The law governing reprisals — defined as otherwise unlawful actions that are considered lawful when used as an enforcement measure in reaction to an adversary's unlawful acts — does not permit direct or indiscriminate attacks on civilians, in part for reasons that these rocket-artillery exchanges demonstrate: even attacks ostensibly launched as reprisals often spur counterattacks by the other side, yielding an endless cycle of civilian injury and death. As the leading treaty in this area provides, one side's targeting of civilians or civilian objects can never justify like targeting by the other side.
HRW acknowledged the Israeli moratorium on the use of artillery in Gaza and that most of the IDF's artillery fired upon legitimate military targets in open areas, but said:
Nevertheless, … all of the Palestinian civilian deaths and the great majority of injuries caused by Israeli artillery fire occurred following Israel's exponential increase of artillery fire and reported authorizing of shelling within a proximity to civilian areas that is smaller than the casualty radius of the artillery. Moreover, Israel did not routinely investigate cases in which civilians died or were injured to learn from past cases of civilian casualties and to ensure that in the future all feasible precautions were taken to avoid them. The combination of increased shelling considerably closer to populated areas and failure to investigate suggest, at the very least, an indifference to the duty to take all feasible precautions to avoid civilian casualties and a failure to rigorously balance concrete military advantage against expected civilian harm, as required by the rule of proportionality….
In addition, while Palestinian fighters firing rockets from sites close to Palestinian civilians can itself be a law-of-war violation and does not prohibit the IDF from returning fire, the IDF still must take all feasible steps to minimize civilian loss and refrain from attack if expected civilian casualties will be disproportionate to the concrete military gain.
HRW Middle East division deputy director Joe Stork urged both sides to refrain from continuing the "tit-for-tat abuses," saying that "Hamas authorities in Gaza should end rocket attacks by all groups on Israeli towns, while Israel should uphold its moratorium on artillery use in Gaza, or at least not shell near populated areas."

So, finally my apple pie is here. I have been longing to make this and put it up on the blog. This is one of my favorite comfort food and gives me immense satisfaction as a baker (though I would certainly place myself in the 'beginners' list of bakers).
With a lot of pictures I have tried to depict it in a step-wise manner. Also, again I have replaced maida (plain flour) with whole- wheat and I find, there is barely any difference in the texture of the final outcome. Hopefully, it is helpful and encourages everyone to try this. I have baked it in the oven but want to try this in a pressure cooker for my friends who would not want to use the oven or cannot use it.
Butter: 100 gms
Powdered Sugar: 30 gms
Salt: a pinch
Whole-wheat flour: 2 cups
Chilled water: 50-60 ml
Apple: 1 sliced
Cinnamon: as required for layering
Brown Sugar or White sugar: as required for layering
Honey: as required
Baking Time: 20-25 minutes-200 degrees
- With all ingredients on the platform, I am ready to prepare the dough for the pie.
2. In a bowl, mix butter, salt and sugar. Try not to use a beater.
3. Start adding the flour and gently knead with hands using the chilled water. This should give you a tough dough.
4. Roll out the dough in half a centimeter thickness.
5. Prepare the pie tin by greasing it with butter and sprinkling some flour over it. Place the rolled out dough on the tin as shown.
6. Press gently on the edges to cut off the extra edges of the dough. Using a fork, pierce through the base of the pie so that it does not rise while baking.
7. Now, begins my favorite part: Place apple slices as shown. Then sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon and honey to form a layer as shown. Make multiple such layers. I layered it thrice.
8. From the leftover dough, roll out another sheet and cut out strips as shown.
9. Follow each of these steps closely to get the basket weave of the pie.
10. Cut of the edges and give a milk-wash to the top of the pie and set it off to bake for 25 minutes.
11. After the baking time is up, get the pie out.
The pie is ready to be served; hot or otherwise, you will love the fragrance of cinnamon and the taste of apples which have now baked to perfection with sugar, cinnamon and honey!

Updated August 07, 2017 Christians and tattoos: it's a controversial topic. Many believers wonder if getting a tattoo is a sin. What Does the Bible Say About Tattoos? Besides looking into what the Bible says about tattoos, together we'll consider the concerns surrounding tattooing today and present a self quiz to help you decide if getting a tattoo is right or wrong. To Tattoo or Not To? Is it a sin to get a tattoo? This is a question many Christians struggle with. I believe tattooing falls into the category of "disputable matters" where the Bible is not clear. Hey, wait a minute, you might be thinking. The Bible says in Leviticus 19:28, "Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the Lord." (NLT) How much clearer can that be? It's important, however, to look at the verse in context. This passage in Leviticus, including the surrounding text, is specifically dealing with the pagan religious rituals of the people living around the Israelites. God's desire is to set his people apart from other cultures. The focus here is prohibiting worldly, heathen worship and witchcraft. God forbids his holy people to engage in idolatrous, pagan worship and sorcery which imitates the heathens. He does this out of protection, because he knows this will lead them away from the one true God. It's interesting to observe verse 26 of Leviticus 19: "Do not eat meat that has not been drained of its blood," and verse 27, "Do not trim off the hair on your temples or trim your beards." Well, certainly many Christians today eat non-kosher meats and get haircuts without participating in the forbidden worship of pagans. Back then these customs were associated with pagan rites and rituals. Today they are not. So, the important question remains, is getting a tattoo a form of pagan, worldly worship still forbidden by God today? My answer is yes and no. This matter is disputable, and should be treated as a Romans 14 issue. If you are considering the question, "To tattoo or not to?" I think more serious questions to ask yourself are: What are my motives for wanting a tattoo? Am I seeking to glorify God or draw attention to myself? Will my tattoo be a source of contention for my loved ones? Will getting a tattoo cause me to disobey my parents? Will my tattoo cause someone who is weak in the faith to stumble? In my article, "What to Do When the Bible is Not Clear," we discover that God has given us a means to judge our motives and weigh our decisions. Romans 14:23 states, "...everything that does not come from faith is sin." Now that's pretty clear. Instead of asking, "Is it okay for a Christian to get a tattoo," perhaps a better question might be, "Is it okay for me to get a tattoo?" Since tattooing is such a controversial issue today, I think it's important to examine your heart and your motives before you make the decision. Self Exam - To Tattoo or Not To? Here is a self-exam based on the ideas put forth in Romans 14. These questions will help you decide whether or not getting a tattoo is a sin for you: How does my heart and my conscience convict me? Do I have freedom in Christ and a clear conscience before the Lord regarding the decision to get a tattoo?Am I passing judgment on a brother or sister because I don't have freedom in Christ to receive a tattoo?Will I still want this tattoo years from now?Will my parents and family approve, and/or will my future spouse want me to have this tattoo?Will I cause a weaker brother to stumble if I receive a tattoo?Is my decision based on faith and will the result be glorifying to God? Ultimately, the decision is between you and God. Though it may not be a black and white issue, there is a right choice for each individual. Take some time to honestly answer these questions and the Lord will show you what to do. Consider the pros and cons of tattooing with Christian Teens Guide Kelly Mahoney.Examine a biblical view of the question, Is Getting a Tattoo a Sin? by Robin Schumacher.Consider a Jewish perspective on tattoos.See what some Christian music artists say about tattooing. A Few More Things to Consider There are serious health risks involved with getting a tattoo: Tattoo Health Risks Lastly, tattoos are permanent.

THE woman at the centre of the Saudi Arabia miniskirt storm has been arrested but denied she posted the clips which sparked calls for her to be jailed and even flogged.
Senior officers from the country's hard-line religious police force have now questioned the young woman after she appeared in a series of online videos wearing the short skirt and crop-top.
The unidentified woman is seen walking through an ancient fort with her long hair uncovered and her stomach exposed.
She is seen mostly from behind but in two clips she faces the camera and runs a hand through her hair.
The videos led to a social media firestorm in Saudi, where women must adhere to a strict clothing code.
Some called for her to be jailed and even flogged in public. Others accused her of being a wannabe model using the video for self promotion
She was arrested over claims she was "dressed in indecent clothing" and her case has been "referred to the public prosecutor" for further action.
Local newspapers reported she had "confessed" to visiting the historic village with her male guardian.
However, she said that someone else posted them online.
She said that she had been accompanied by a male guardian on the trip and had not broken strict Saudi laws that forbid women from travelling alone.
She faces prison time if convicted of flouting the kingdom's morality laws.
The video sparked a heated debate on social media, with some demanding she be punished for breaking the Muslim country's strict dress code.
Others came to the woman's defence, praising her "bravery" and insisting that she ought to be allowed to wear what she wanted.
Women in Saudi Arabia must wear loose-fitting, full-length robes known as "abayas" in public, as well as a headscarf if they are Muslim.
However, there are no restrictions on what women can wear under their abayas.
Most women also cover their hair and face with a black veil, though exceptions are made for visiting dignitaries.
The videos, first shared on Snapchat, show her walking around an empty historic fort in Ushaiager, north of the capital Riyadh - where many of the most conservative tribes and families live.
Competing Twitter hashtags quickly emerged, with one demanding the woman's arrest and another asserting that freedom of dress should not be a crime.
Others defended her by posting images from President Donald Trump's visit in May, in which First Lady Melania Trump and his daughter Ivanka, though modestly dressed in higher necklines and longer sleeves, shunned wearing a head cover or the abaya.
Others wrote that had the woman been a foreigner, people would be talking about her beauty, but because she is Saudi, they are calling for arrest.
The Saudi Okaz news website reported that officials in Ushaiager called on the region's governor and police to take actions against the woman in response to the video, without elaborating further.
Saudi news website Sabq reported that the kingdom's morality police had corresponded with other agencies to investigate further after the video was brought to their attention.
Liberty campaigners say Saudi Arabia's attitude to women is holding them back.
"Saudi Arabia's continuing obsession with policing women's clothing choices shows authorities haven't moved on from the paternalistic and discriminatory mind-set that hampers women's lives," said Sarah Leah Whitson, an executive director of Human Rights Watch.
"Saudi Arabia's purported plans to reshape society and advance women's rights will never succeed as long as authorities go after women for what they wear."

Like language and music, a culture's drinking traditions makes up a huge part of their identity. From coast to coast, Canadians have whipped up new drinks and rituals with the purpose of initiating foreigners into their communities. Here, we've rounded up the most distinctly Canadian ways we like to drink. Cheers!
To become an honorary Saskatonian, Lucky Bastard Distillery and Great Western Brewery have teamed up to create a new rite of passage. Together, they've conceptualized a drop shot made up of Great Western Brewery's Original 16 beer (which pays homage to the 16 founders of the brewery) and Lucky Bastard Distillery's Saskatoon Liqueur (which uses the berry the city is named for). Those who complete the shot get a card as proof of their status as an honorary local.
While the history of the Shotski is highly debated, Urban Dictionary's top definition of the word cites the University of British Columbia as its location of origin. The Shotski consists of placing multiple shots on a ski, allowing a group of people to lift the ski together and drink the shot simultaneously. The drink is ingrained into apres-ski culture, so you'll also be able to find shotskis in places like Banff—just ask Alayna Fender.
To get screeched in, non-Newfoundlanders must kiss a cod fish and recite the screech-in creed before taking a shot of the Newfoundland rum. After being asked if "ye a Screecher," you respond, "Deed I is me old cock, and long may your big jib draw." (For any mainlanders—this is a wish of good luck that translates to "may there always be wind in your sails").
Established in 1973, the Sourtoe cocktail has become a beloved tradition in Dawson City, Yukon. To become a member of the cocktail club, there are just a few steps: come to the Sourdough Saloon, order a shot of Yukon Jack, pledge the Sourtoe Oath and take the shot—which is garnished with a real dehydrated human toe.
Invented in Calgary back in the '60s the humble Caesar has been Canada's go-to hangover cure. Whether you need a little hair of the dog, something to go along with Sunday brunch or a crazy concoction complete with onion rings and a slider on it, the Caesar is the answer.

Eliminate Booby Traps in the Home
For the Protection of Children
Any large container is an at-
traction for young children. To
them they are ideal spots to
play hide and seek. Innocent-
looking as these containers are,
they can become death traps,
especially If they can lock, such
as trunks, chests or old refrige-
rators and freezers.
A young Seroe Colorado resi-
dent last year could have been
the victim of suffocation in a
large trunk, had he not been res-
cued in time. The child and his
sister were being cared for by
the maid while their mother was
out on an errand. The family,
who was soon to leave on fur-
lough, had been packing and
had left a trunk open in one of
the bedrooms.
Finding it an excellent spot
to hide, the child got into the
trunk and his sister locked it.
The child was trapped
Fortunately, the maid who had
been busy in the kitchen was
alerted by the sister, who told
her that her little brother was
trapped in the trunk. The maid
quickly opened it and helped
out the gasping child.
This incident shows how seem-
Ingly innocent household Items
can become death traps for
young children. Similar cases
have been reported of children
trapped in old refrigerators or
freezers. Because of their con-
struction, some old-type refrige-
rators cannot be opened from
inside and a child can die of
suffocation If not found in time.
Therefore, it is very impor-
tant to take off doors of old re-
frigerators and keep trunks lock-
ed when not in use. To be even
more on the safe side, teach
your children that it is danger-
ous to play in them, because
once closed, it is difficult to
get out.
Don't let your children play
hide-and-seek In empty'refrige-
rators, trunks and the like.

taken on a refinery tour to see
some of the facilities (among

Mr. Marland remarked. He also
recalls that during the first week
in Aruba, the crew were fed by
the (old) Esso Club.
While executing many escort
and patrol missions night and
day, Mr. Marland vividly recalls
one of the landings on the
fenceless airfield. With gas used
up almost to the last drop, his
B-18 could not land on its first
approach because of a flock of
goats on the runway. With fin-
gers crossed, they had to make
another turn and landed safely.
But a crewman thought they
should do something about this
and pulled out a 45-caliber pis-
tol and killed three goats. All
felt good, except the owner of
the goats, who claimed and got
proper payment.
Commander Marland and his
little squadron operated in sev-
eral parts around the globe. In-

Four Lago Lake Tankers Torpedoed; Refinery Shelled 30 Years Ago
On February 16, 1972, it was
exactly thirty years ago that the
German U-boat 156 brought war
to the Western Hemisphere land
area when four Lago lake tan-
kers were torpedoed and the
refinery was shelled.
What saved the Lago Refinery
and Aruba was an oversight of
the gun crew to remove the
cannon's muzzle plug, which
keeps water out of the barrel
when submerged.
The First Torpedo
Under command of Kapitan
Leutnant Werner Hartenstein, the
U-156 was on the surface off
the Lago Refinery. The Second
Watch Officer, Leutnant Dietrich
A. van dem Borne, who was al-
so the artillery officer, was on
duty from midnight to 4.00 a.m.
He was supervising his crew in
preparing the 10.5 cm and the
3.7 cm cannons and the 2 cm
anti-aircraft gun. Lt. Just, the
First Watch Officer, and his
crew readied the torpedoes. The
U-156 and crew were ready to
At 0131 a.m. on February 16,
1942, the U-156 fired its first
torpedo. Precisely 48.5 seconds
later, the explosive plowed into
the side of the "Pedemales"
just outside the reef and turned
the lake tanker into an inferno.
The tanker did not sink but
eight men were lost while eight-
een survived.
At 0133, a second torpedo
from the bow tubes of the U-156
sank the "Oranjeltad", also rid-
ing at anchor outside the har-
bor. There were only ten survi-
vors and fifteen men were lost.
After firing at the two tankers.
Hartenstein ordered the sub-
marine ahead in the direction of
the San Nicolas Harbor, and
stopped about three-quarters of
a mile off the reef. The artillery
was readied. The command to
fire at 01'41 a.m. was followed
by. a deafening roar that rocked
the entire boat. Seamen Busin-
get lay motionless on the deck.
Von dem Borne sat stunned
propped against the base of the
conning tower where he had
been slammed by the force of
the explosion. The other gun
crews continued their fire until
Hartenstein halted their action
when no results were apparent.
The infuriated commander or-
dered the boat out of the area,
then charged along the deck to
find out what had happened to
the shattered 10.5 cm cannon,
the big gun he was sure would
have produced results. He was
given the answer.
His crewmen at the moment
of action were over eager and
had failed to remove the can-
non's muzzle plug, which keeps
water out of the barrel when
submerged. The shell exploded
at the barrel's tip. In view of the
exploded gun, what would have
transpired on Feb. 16, 1942 at
Lago if artillery had remained
first in battle procedure can on-
ly be left to conjecture.
The U-156 steamed along the
surface to Oranjestad where
three torpedoes were fired at
the Arkansas at the Eagle Pier..
One rammed the gas-free tan-
ker and she suffered only the
force of the explosion. The sec-
ond torpedo was never found,
and the third ground to a halt
on the beach. It exploded and
killed four demolition men who
attempted to disarm it the next
Two Sank on Aruba-Venezuela
The TIa Juana was the first
of the lake tankers hit along the
route Aruba-Maracaibo. The tan-
ker was torpedoed amidships
and flamed immediately. In min-
utes she heeled over sharply.
Water rushed through her crum-
pled side and eased her below
Gun crew practicing. This same 10.5 cm gun exploded Feb. 16, 1942
when the U-156 shelled the refinery.

a flame-covered surface taking
seventeen of her crew with her.
Only nine survived. Of the four
Lago lakers torpedoed the
morning of Febr. 16, 1942, the
crew of the Tla Juana suffered
the largest number of casualties.
The Shell tanker Ramona and
the Lago tanker Jamanota res-
cued eighteen San Nicolas crew-
men. Seven were lost when the
tanker was torpedoed between
Aruba and Venezuela. Three
were killed instantly when the
first torpedo hit the engine
room. The San Nicolas listed
abruptly, but did not flame. This
apparently concerned the U-
boat commander, and fifteen
minutes after firing his first tor-
pedo he sped a second des-
tructive missile into the San
Nicolas' stern. Her hull ruptured.
and she settled quickly stern
On board the Ramona was
Boatswain Vicente G. Provence,
who witnessed the U-boat ac-
tions. He left the Shell fleet dur-
ing the war and Joined Lago's
Marine Department on August
4, 1947. He Is still at Lago and
is presently a tugboat engineer
on Lago's "Esso Oranjestad".
Hartenstein completed three
successful patrols in 1942, sink-
ing over 100,000 gross tons of
shipping. The end of U-156 and
its 33-year-old commander came
on March 8, 1943, about 340
miles east of Barbados. A Unit-
ed States patrol bomber sight-
ed the surfaced submarine and
dropped four bombs, two of
which straddled the conning
tower. The U-156 broke into
three pieces and sank immedia-
tely. Surface craft never found
any survivors.
Once again, tribute is proper
to those Esso Marine seamen
who perished thirty years ago

transport crude to the Lago Re-

I know that there are a million different versions of macaroni and cheese in the world, and that just about everyone has there own special spin on it.
Here is my special spin on this classic comfort food. Creamy and deliciously cheesy, with a mild tang to surprise and tickle your tastebuds.
MRS. G's MACARONI AND CHEESE {PRINT THIS RECIPE}
1 – 16 oz. package of elbow macaroni
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cans evaporated milk
(additional milk if required)
1/2 cup beer
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
8 ounces smoked gouda cheese, shredded
16 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
8 ounces velveeta cheese, cubed
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup bread crumbs
pure olive oil spray
-Bring a large covered pot of salted water to boil over medium/high leat (for pasta).
-In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
-Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk to combine.
-Cook the flour and butter mixture together for 1 minute.
-Slowly add the evaporated milk to the butter/flour mixture and whisk briskly to blend thouroughly.
-Continue cooking the mixture over medium to medium/high heat, whisking occasionally, until thickened nicely.
-While the sauce is thickening, cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions and drain.
-Add the beer and Dijon mustard to the thickened sauce and continue to whisk.
(if the mixture appears too thick, add a small amount of milk, in incriments, until you reach a consistency of thick pancake batter).
-Turn the heat down to medium/low.
-Add the salt, pepper and grated nutmeg. Stir to combine.
-Add the cheeses, one kind at a time to the sauce, and stir in a figure 8 pattern until each cheese is completely melted and creamy.
-Add the drained elbow macaroni to the cheese sauce and gently stir to coat each elbow with creamy goodness.
-Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and carefully pour the macaroni and cheese into the prepared pan.
-Evenly spread the breadcrumbs on top the macaroni mixture.
-Spray the crumbs liberally with pure olive oil (or drizzle with melted butter).
-At this point, you can refrigerate the casserole until you're ready to bake and serve or you can bake this right away. **Note – If you're going to refrigerate first, take the casserole out of the frige about 1/2 hour before your're ready to bake to take some of the chill off.
-Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
-Cook your macaroni and cheese, uncovered for 45 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the bread crumb topping is browned nicely.
-Allow to sit for approximately 10 minutes and serve to your drooling family and friends.
Ahhhh, now it's time for a nap 🙂 I hope you enjoyed my spin on this classic dish.
What do you do to make your macaroni and cheese special? I encourage you to leave your comments as I'd love to hear your creative ideas.
Until we eat again,

Our school is full of spirit! We will have our barbecue Tailgater on November 23 in honor of the Oregon-Oregon State Football game later next week. Parents are invited to come and eat lunch with kids. We will set it up like a real tailgater with all of us eating outside. We will be under cover in case the weather isn't wonderful—but it never rains at Autzen Stadium or Awbrey Park! We suggest students dress up in Duck, Beaver, Awbrey Park or any other school's colors. It doesn't matter if they don't have a team shirt, they can just wear the team colors.
Sanipac is donating hot dogs and sending the Duck Truck. Every student will get to have a barbecue lunch for free. Parents do not need to send money for any of our Awbrey kids. Of course, the students can also bring their own lunch from home. Parents can buy a hot dog barbecue lunch for $2.00. Fortunately, Sanipac's donation has reduced the price from the normal $4.00. Students will eat and then play tailgating games. It will be awesome.
K-1 Lunch–11:20 Recess/tailgating games 11:45-12:05
2-3 Lunch–11:55 Recess/tailgating games 12:20-12:40
4-5 Lunch–12:30 Recess/tailgating 12:55-1:15
The lunch will include: hot dog, baked beans, red potatoes, potato salad, fruit salad, carrots, apples, pickles, tomatoes, onions, sliced cheese, shredded lettuce, and cookie.
Parent Conferences are coming up next week. We appreciate everyone's flexibility as we scheduled conferences for 425 students. These meetings between parents and staff are so important.

2015 was the year that Marty McFly went back to the future. It was also the year when I travelled back in time as far as the Bronze Age (The Gift of Stones by Jim Crace), forward as far as 7000 AD (Seveneves by Neal Stephenson), and to locations as diverse as France, China, and Outer Space. Yes, it's time for my annual review of my year in books.
A few statistics
What can I say? I like statistics and charts, and Goodreads and Excel make them so easy!
According to Goodreads, in 2015 I read 60 books:
- 8 books rated 5 stars, "It was amazing" in Goodreads classification
- 20 rated 4 stars "really liked it"
- 23 rated 3 stars, "liked it"
- 8 rated 2 stars, "it was ok"
- 1 rated 1 star, "did not like it"
This seems to have been the year when Kindle books (44) overtook paper ones (16). I still love the feel of a real paper book, but the Kindle is so handy for keeping in my handbag:
The oldest book was Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway and Denmark by Mary Wollstonecraft (published 1796). The newest was Winter by Marissa Meyer (published November 2015). Overall, a slight majority (33 books) were published in the current century:
And fiction (48 books) was definitely dominant over non-fiction (12):
Some books fall into more than one genre and so the numbers add up to more than 12. Unsurprisingly, history was my most popular topic, followed by biography and travel.
Recommendations and disappointments
Most exciting non-fiction book this year was Passionate Minds by David Bodanis, the love story of the philosopher Voltaire and the scientist Emile du Chatelet.
Most disappointing was Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss. Pedantry wrapped up in snootiness is not appealing.
Again, some books fall into more than one genre; for example, The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson is both historical fiction and fantasy. Historical fiction, as usual, was my most read genre. My science fiction reads were almost entirely by two authors: Marissa Meyer and Neal Stephenson.
Here's a further look at the setting for these stories:
Looking at these figures, the most typical 2015 book for me would be a historical novel set in the 20th century in the English-speaking world. In other words, my most typical book was Live by Night by Dennis Lehane, set in Prohibition-era America. Although most of the 20th century books were written in that century.
I'm a bit embarrassed that I only read one book based in Africa (the alternate history Fires of Alexandria by Thomas K Carpenter) and three set in Asia, and all of these were written by Western writers. Must include more diverse settings next year.
Recommendations and disappointments
If you like a well-researched and absorbing work of historical fiction, I'd recommend The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Penman. I don't know if Richard III really was innocent, but she had me believing it by the end. Although at over 900 pages, The Sunne in Splendour is a good argument for ebooks.
For a fast-paced and imaginative series, I'd recommend Marissa Meyer's science-fiction fairytale retellings, The Lunar Chronicles. Each book in the series introduces a new heroine: a cyborg mechanic in Cinder (Cinderella), a farm girl in a red hoodie in Scarlet (Red Riding Hood), an isolated hacker on a satellite in Cress (Rapunzel), and a "not as crazy as she seems" princess in Winter (Snow White).
My "should have read this years ago" book is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas Pere, yet another doorstopper that's worth the time. I'd love to see a TV series of this classic (a movie can't possibly do it justice).
Biggest disappointment was She Who Remembers by Linda Lay Shuler, a Clan-of-the-Cave-Bear wannabe and recipient of my only 1-star rating this year. There were also two novels that I quit reading: The Dirty Streets of Heaven by Tad Williams and Devoted Ladies by Molly Keane. I said those "eight deadly words" and decided life was too short.
The Year Ahead
The fourth volume of Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard series, The Thorn of Emberlain, is due to be released in 2016. Marissa Meyer is publishing a series of short stories for the Lunar Chronicles as well as a standalone book based on Alice in Wonderland. My "to-read" shelf includes The Aeronaut's Windlass, the first in a new series by Jim Butcher, and A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon (author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime).
I'm planning to expand my scope of settings beyond Europe and North America; there is a world of literature from Asia and Africa waiting for me. And who knows what else 2016 holds in store.

In the weekend of July 14, 15, 16 2017 the Hague Bridge celebrates the international music city that is The Hague. With you, with many of our international musicians and with the lovely people from our city. the Hague Bridge would like to welcome you at the OPENING RECEPTION on Friday July 14th at 4.30 pm on Grote Markt, at Hoender en Hop. Interesting conversations in multiple languages are a guarantee! If you would like to join please contact Martin Born at email@example.com before July 12th.
General information
Showcase of international music city The Hague Friday 14, Saturday 15 and Sunday 16th of July, Musicon and Grote Markt present the 8th edition of this internationally orientated music festival in Popdistrict, the musical heart of The Hague.
Every year the festival is a success, due to its formula of a laid back vibe combined with new musical discoveries from all corners of the world. Summertime Festival is free of charge and takes place on a vintage merry-go-round stage at the Grote Markt square. One of the perks: all music can be enjoyed from the terrace, but of course you can always get up and dance. The line up ranges from free jazz, fado & cumbia to classical music, dreamy indiepop, funk and cross-overs between styles.
This year's programme has some big names like the extra large jazz/funk band The New Cool Collective, multivocal rock songs by Bells of Youth and jazz impro icons Han Bennink and Guus Janssen. You can dance to the music of the red hot cumbia of Mamihlapinatapai and klezmer/balkan party band L'chaim. But the festival also showcases new classical talent from the Prinses Christina Concours and collaborations between popular artists from The Hague's vibrant international jazz scene.
The Festival aims to reveal a beautiful but often hidden aspect of the city: the blooming community of international musicians. To show this cultural abundance and to get the audience acquainted with these musicians, who have roots in numerous countries, is the ambition of the festival. This results in a line up that is quite different from the usual pop and rock acts that you might find at a Summer festival, and makes Summertime a special treat.

Benefits of Sleeping Outside
I recently got back from spending a week sleeping in a tent at the Oregon Eclipse gathering. The only time I was in my tent was to sleep or change clothes. The entire time was spent outside exploring nature , and available to the next experience or moment.
After spending sometime in comfy beds, sleeping inside. I have been drawn to sleep outside again. There is something about a sleeping bag and a backpacking cushion. Its so freeing to just put it down and then go to sleep. Last night I slept under the full moon, the moon was so bright I kept thinking it was a neighbor's light. I really enjoyed the whole ritual of it. Laying your sleeping bag down, unzipping the bag. Then being allowing myself to be fully present and awake for each new sound. Sleeping outside, offers the chance to hear, birds, fog horn, insects, our dog.
Instead of waking up to an alarm clock I woke up to the birds chirping and singing.
Another big benefit is you wake up and you are already outside. Feeling the sun kiss your skin as you wake up. I wake up spry, and ready to start the day. Besides if I need more rest I can always take an afternoon nap.
Sleeping outside was the thing to do
I remember sleeping outside at our cabin when we were younger. We had an actual bed that we used just for that reason. Sleeping outside because it was the thing to do. I also remember staying at my friends house sleeping in their backyard.
I am not sure why I stopped sleeping outside? I am now realizing how much I enjoyed it. It's a free experience and will only benefit me in multiple ways.
- Wake up earlier, and with gradual light from the sun.
- Connect with the natural circadian rhythms of the day.
- Breathe fresh air
- Teach my body to release tension and to become soft, on a hard surface.
Since I am traveling , my plan is to do more sleeping outside, if the environment allows it.
I have been trying to slow down and be present for each moment of the day. Like Dan Millman, says, "There are no ordinary moments. " Each moment is special, the problem is we are too distracted to fully enjoy it. I am going to explore sleeping outside as one of the ways I can feel more connected grounded and present.
Who else wants to join me in sleeping outside?.

We all knew it was only a matter of time before I blew the deadline for the freebies one week. Today is that momentous day.
Short version, continued computer problems means I've listened to nothing this week, and work schedule means I've not had time to even draft up stuff I already know I'll like. I don't have time to get a post written before I start today.
Better news, I've got a new HD, so once I complete the long and tedious data transfer process, I'll be able to listen to music on my computer again. Hooray.
Freebies will be written up when I come home from work tonight, but that's not going to be till after Midnight, so you'll likely get your weekly dose of freebies at around lunchtime on Saturday instead of on Friday this week. Sorry.
Anyway, here's a picture of a thing I'm doing with some friends at the end of the month.

1/25 WPNS in Fallujah...any news??/
Hi everyone. My son is currently deployed in Fallujah. His humvee was hit by an IED about a month ago, (he is the gunner) and he and another marine were injured. Thankfully, they both made a full recovery and are both back with their units. My son was first treated in Fallujah, then choppered out to Balad. I search daily for news of our men there..every marine site, OIF, even the Camp Fallujah site for 1/25 EVER has info on Weapons Co. I am so frustrated. What is up with that?? Does anyone have any insight? There was never any mention ever, of this accident, and I believe there were innocent Iraqis killed. Why does WPNS Co. get overlooked?? upset mom here, just wanting to see anything about my son's unit.
Anyone have any pictures, know of any websites for Camp Baharia, blogs, etc. specific to Wpns? Thanks for listening.

Butch is Back: A Jazz Legend Resurfaces
Thanks to Butch Warren, the barkeep at Columbia Station in Adams-Morgan can make her car payment this month. Thanks to Butch Warren, the sounds of surprise are wafting out of an 18th Street saloon once again, offering an alternative to the thump-thump pulse of disco nights along the strip.
Butch Warren, one of the lost giants of jazz's great mid-century burst of creativity, has been through rough times for all too many years. When I last visited him, it was at Springfield Hospital Center, the Maryland state mental institution in Carroll County, last summer. Warren was, by his own account, "really out of it" then. But he's back, living in a boarding house in Prince George's County and playing bass once again, drawing people off the street and into another place Wednesday nights at Columbia Station.
Last night, under the supportive wing of pianist Peter Edelman, Warren showed that he can still bring it. He halted conversation throughout the restaurant with a couple of solos that displayed the energy of a 25-year-old, the swing of a musician so well trained that he knows how to make it look effortless, and the encyclopedic jazz knowledge of a pro who worked with Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, Dexter Gordon, Donald Byrd and Jackie McLean--which Warren indeed did.
And now he is scraping by, desperate for more gigs, eager to find a place to live in the city, somehow managing to survive on a Social Security check and the kindness of jazz lovers. They were out in force last night--a devoted collector of Warren's work who has volunteered to try to get Butch the royalty checks that are due him for works he wrote back in the early 1960s; a TV producer who is gathering string for a piece on Warren's journey; a smattering of others who know enough about the music to realize that this man in the crisp white shirt, conservative grey suit and spanking new sneakers is a living legend. And all around the rest of the room, people who just wandered in to grab a drink with a date, hang out with friends or celebrate a birthday--which is exactly what Warren plans to do:
On Wednesday, August 8, the night before his 68th birthday, Butch Warren expects to be playing at Columbia Station, celebrating a birthday he never quite expected to see, reunited with his instrument after too many months apart from it, doing the one thing that really still makes sense to him. "Jazz," he says, "is playing two songs at once." For a gent who has had too much trouble keeping one thing in mind, what's freeing, somehow, is the chance to slip into a world where so many things are going on at once. You can hear what that sounds like on Wednesday nights in a dark, rich room on 18th Street NW.
