The incomparable Jerry Pournelle examines how the Republican Party has lost its way.
While the article begins with a discussion of the Anthropogenic Global Warming hoax, it does so mostly to explain why the McCain-style "me-too" approach is a loser. Turning to the general principle:
But do note that playing loyal opposition, Democrat Light, has been effective for many Country Club Republicans: they were allowed to keep their positions and influence. That was the situation when Newt Gingrich organized the Republican takeover of Congress. Unfortunately, without Newt's iron control -- you may ascribe his motive to dedication to principle or to simple desire to keep power -- without Newt's iron control the Republican congress went mad and truly acted as if it were Democrats: it spent money in ways that even the Democrats wouldn't have (then; not now), including the old Wilson/Roosevelt interventionism that generally led to war.Dr. Pournelle offers this advice for the future:
The only way the Republicans can survive will be to become a party of principle: smaller government, devolution of power to the states, transparency and local control; the old principle Adams stated, "we believe that each man is the best judge of his own interest". Trust the Associations (as Tocqueville described) rather than government, and states more than federal. Give up "right to life" and adopt the constitutional position that abortion ought to be left to the states -- as should education and many other matters. We have plenty of failed experiments in federal control to show that it's not always a good idea and sometimes federalizing things is disastrous.On this matter, I offer a weak semantic disagreement with the use of the word "federal" to mean "national". What he advocates (as do I) is a return to the original meaning of "federal": power devolved to the most local level practical, where the resources it commands can be used more efficiently, and tailored to the peculiar needs of the locality. Most of what the US Government does would be better done by state, county, or municipal governments, or by private-sector entities. If the GOP is ever to be trusted with power again, it will need to make that case, and make us believe they'll actually do it this time.
[Click on the title above, or date stamp below, to see the full article.]
Given the choice between faux Democrats and the real thing, the voters chose the latter. We need to give them a real choice.

I love Jerry Pournelle. If you have not read "Lucifer's Hammer," I recommend it highly to anyone who has ever contemplated surviving an apocalypse.ReplyDelete
I totally agree with his advice to Republicans; but it is your semantic quibble that interests me. I usually endeavor to be precise with language. Although I always capitalize it, I say "Federal government" all the time; by which I mean the central government of our federation. Is this really an error? When we say the "Feds," should we be saying the "Nats?"
I would quibble with his (oops... and your) use of "state(s)." I was taught that when referring to a State of our union that it must always be capitalized. Otherwise, "state" is synonymous with "country" or "nation."
I speak semantically, of course; philosophically, I invert the pyramid and place the Federal/National government on the bottom, the 50 States (which I consider to be individual states / republics in their own right) above it, the counties above the States, and the sovereign individuals residing within them above the counties. I explain this in some detail in my "Sovereign Rights" essay, which is on point to Pournelle's advice on power devolution. If all Americans understood our history and what our founders meant for this country to be, we wouldn't even be in this mess. ◄Dave►
Well, Dave, in a federal system, the "States" are not truly sovereign states, in that immigration, foreign policy and military action are specifically delegated to the national government. To any outsiders, there is a single face.ReplyDelete
On the other hand, county and municipal governments, and special districts for schools or other services, are all creations of the state. These subdivisions can be reorganized in whatever way those states see fit. My own city and county governments (Kansas City and Wyandotte County, KS) were merged together into a "Unified Government" years ago, when we voted locally for the merger, and the state legislature enacted a law to authorize it. Had they not done their part, we could not have gone through with the plan, because the county and city are not sovereign.
Interestingly, I have been reading one of series of books Pournelle edited, called the "There Will Be War" series. In this book, "Warrior" (written in the mid-'80s), it talks about how the United States, not being an Aggressor nation, needs to keep up on Defense, especially in the realm of human Intelligence gathering, which of course went by the wayside after the fall of the USSR.ReplyDelete
It also has an essay on how the SDI Program was analyzed as being implausible by two different groups, which then became the "common knowledge" of the day, and undoubtedly made a huge impact on the funding of the program. This section looked rather like the Global Warming analysis of today.
All in all, a good read, and I would suggest trying to find a copy just for those essays, if not the stories themselves.
- AnonymousNovember 18, 2008 at 8:56 PM
Yes and no, Monster. I accidentally submitted the above comment without the HTML link to my Sovereign Rights essay, which explains what I am getting at. I am speaking philosophically and historically, and recognize that just as our central government (through neglect and abuse) is nothing like what it was when established, the same can be said of many of our State and county governments. I know little about Kansas, because I was just a kid in the Army when I was stationed at Ft. Leavenworth (on this side of the wall) back in the '60s. :)ReplyDelete
However, I'd be a little cautious about suggesting to a Texan that Texas isn't a sovereign Republic, which retained its right to secession before agreeing to join the Union. States do have their own military. Except when called up for national duty, the Governor of each State is its own National Guard's CinC. States have their own Sec. of State, and they do negotiate trade agreements with foreign entities. Each State has its own citizenship requirements, etc.
A really good way to look at it is that as originally established, one could view the USA as the equivalent of the EU. Thirteen individual sovereign states agreed to band together in a free trade agreement and mutual defense pact. They crafted a very weak central government to present a more imposing face to the world, and gave it very limited powers only to do things that were mutually beneficial, such as coin money, etc; but I can assure you that if these states had thought they were giving up their sovereignty, they would never have ratified the Constitution! See the Federalist Papers, et al.
Re: local governments, the hierarchical relationship of municipalities, townships, etc. are all over the map; but the real action is in county government in America. That is where deeds, marriages, births, and deaths, are recorded, etc. As my essay demonstrates, counties are not "creations of States," quite the opposite. Most counties predate their States by a long shot, and existed back when vast swaths of our continent were just "territories" that were yet to be subdivided into individual States.
An oft repeated fiction is that the Attorney General of the U.S. is the "highest law enforcement officer in the land." Not true. That distinction belongs to your local sheriff. It comes as a shock to most to learn that no Federal law enforcement officer, of any strip (FBI, BATF, IRS, etc.) has any jurisdiction within any county unless the local sheriff specifically grants them the privilege of functioning in it. This is routinely reauthorized yearly (or else the sheriff wouldn't get those Federal funds his budget needs); but that does not change the relationship. Call that power what you will; but sovereign works for me. :) ◄Dave►

How'd that work out for them back in 1861?
Before the "Civil War" (another misnomer), everyone apparently assumed states had the legal authority to secede. Now we know that authority was struck down, not at the Supreme Court, but at Appomatox Court House.

How does this assertion gibe with "Sanctuary Cities" that seem to be able to resist Federal immigration laws, or states like AK & HI, that regularly have to deal directly with foreign countries on matters of trade, land-rights, etc.?
- AnonymousNovember 19, 2008 at 2:41 AM
"Before the "Civil War" (another misnomer)..."ReplyDelete
Correct. Oh, they seceded alright; and even joined another federation. Then their new federation was invaded by a foreign empire (known as the USA) and they were conquered and occupied. Eventually, they were annexed back into the conquering empire as a State. Several Indian nations suffered the same fate. This aside, of course, does not refute my philosophical / historical assertion regarding what our founders intended the relationship between the central government, the States, and more importantly the free and sovereign individuals residing therein to be. ◄Dave►
MD, "sanctuary cities" are a load of crap.ReplyDelete
States cannot engage in independent diplomacy -- trade missions aren't really diplomatic in character; they're just business deals. States are flat forbidden (Art. I, § 10) from entering into any treaties.

Dave, Monster, and MD, thank you for an enlightening discussion. I thought I had something to contribute to your angle until about halfway down the page, when you all had covered everything I had to say and moved on to aspects I never had considered. Thank you for making me a little smarter today! :)ReplyDelete
I am going to kick a tired horse back into action here and take another angle from the OP. As I've belabored in this and other forums lately, how can we go about doing what the inestimable Mr. Pournelle and our beloved Monster recommend, i.e. getting the message of personal responsibility and limited government out to the people? What can we do to make the message of freedom heard over the siren song of freebies and handouts and the never-ending mantra of hopenchange? Naturally we can support candidates locally who embrace true principles - I've got my eye on that once my relocation is done - but we can't get them elected if the people don't understand and vote accordingly. What can we do individually and locally in the flesh world, in addition to our debating and pontificating online? I am a big fan of clear objectives and tasks, so I harp on this a lot. Hope y'all don't mind. I am a very strong proponent of the sovereignty of the individual States, and true Federalism, but most people I know are not so politically and historically knowledgeable or invested. A lot of people vote who are not interested in history or political theory. How do we reach out to them? I honestly don't know right now.
I believe that "Sanctuary Cities" ought to be a load of crap - but there they are.
Trade missions embarked upon by States aren't supposed to affect things diplomatically, but I submit that they do nonetheless. (seems that the only substantive difference between a trade agreement with HI and a trade-based treaty with the US is who-is-bound - and tell me the former wouldn't have a wider diplomatic impact)
There are also laws that should keep the Speaker of the House from going to 'officially' meet with the heads of nations hostile to the US, but...
A lot of "shoulds", "oughts" and "supposed-tos" in there...
My question referred to WHAT IS.
(if it walks like a sovereign and talks like a sovereign...)

I won't even go that far. The whole border / illegal alien issue has driven me 'round the bend since they started waving Mexican flags in our streets nearly three years ago. As far as I am concerned, San Francisco is welcome to fall in the ocean. However, were it not for the fact that Federal taxes are being spent on health, education, and welfare programs for these illegals, and to subsidize their resultant increased crime fighting requirements, I would care less what goes on in metropolitan America. I can and do avoid these decadent places like the plague. Moreover, I respect the principle that gives rise to local governments refusing to enforce Federal laws they find onerous, whether or not I agree with their choices.
Be careful what you wish for. There is a good chance that in the near future imprudent statutes will emanate from DC that might make you proud of your local sheriff for refusing to enforce them. Think Second Amendment, Hate Speech / Crimes, Compulsory Public Schooling, Compulsory Public Service (Obama Corps), etc. ◄Dave►

How telling that this commune-ity subscribes to the entertaining yet always fascist-toned writings of an old time conservative water carrier like Jerry Pournelle.ReplyDelete
Some of this SciFi writers greatest hits:
-The star wars defense SD fiasco for the Reagan administration (thanks for that trillion dollars right in the toilet there Dr. Evil)
-a plagiarist copy of the Nolan Chart, complete with two-dimensional thinking axis, called of all things...the "POURNELLE CHART" LOL
-A skepticism in that radical of all beliefs, yes, that's right Global Warming. I mean what crazy scientists that belong to the NAS would believe in that mullarky right?
-A disbelief in Evolution.
-A conspiratorial belief in the origin of AIDS, much like the well known "conservative" Reverend Jeremiah Wright LOL.
-and the one you gotta love from all dog whistle bigots, the belief that race and IQ have a "link"
How telling that the e3 koolaid drinkers subscribe to this "sci-fi" as reality. I'm curious to hear how after the Comet hits the Earth and conservatives, now turned cannibals, are going to continue church services with "Lucifer's Hammer" looming. I mean come on people, I like Stephen King too, but I'm not going to start believing in pets coming back to life and all... Sheesh. Let the comedy hour continue.
Troll, you're getting tiresome. If you have anything to contribute other than bile, do so. Otherwise, shut up.ReplyDelete
Dave, the contents of a state constitution really aren't relevant in this case, per the Supremacy clause (Art. 5, ¶3):ReplyDelete
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
You actually quoted the most relevant part of the US Constitution on the matter of immigration in your response (Art. I, §9, ¶1):
The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.
Now, let's think this through. This is a specific temporary limitation on the power of Congress, so that it could not supersede states' decisions about immigration prior to 1808. Why would the Constitution include this very precise language if Congress would not otherwise have had that power from the day it was first called into session?
The clear meaning of this provision, combined with the enumerated power to enact a uniform rule of naturalization (Art. I, §8, ¶4), the aforementioned Supremacy provision, and the inherent power of any nation to control its borders, is that effective 1 Jan, 1808, Congress could enact immigration law binding upon all states.

Alas, I suspect our horse has died. It is unclear to me whether you read the entire piece at the Federalism website. It refutes your assertions quite well on multiple grounds, and if you find their logic unpersuasive, I am sure nothing I could add would change that.
I suppose I could ask you to point out where the Congressional power to regulate immigration is enumerated in section 8, which you claim is only temporarily suspended for twenty years in section 9, by what has always been referred to as the slave trade clause. Were I in search of a hidden implied power, I wouldn't expect to find it in section 9, powers prohibited to Congress. Our Founders were not that sloppy, and the ninth and tenth amendments are unambiguous.
Besides, if you are going to suggest that a statute passed by Congress attempting to usurp power that was never granted to it, somehow magically transfers power that had always belonged to the States (for over 100 years) to the Federal government - because of the Supremacy Clause - then we are not even discussing the same document.
After my study today, I am even more enamored with the EU metaphor. A citizen of any country in the EU can acquire an EU passport; but the EU is not empowered to tell England who they can or cannot allow to migrate to or from the British Isles.
Further, I reckon we were fools for not demanding 47 more seats in the General Assembly when the UN was formed. The Soviets got one for each satellite. Now, the economic juggernaut EU gets one for each constituent state. We are chumps. ◄Dave►
Dave, the fact that the section in question is always referred to in terms of the slave trade is irrelevant. It does not use the word "slave"; it says "persons".ReplyDelete
You seem to agree that Congress had the power to regulate immigration of slaves effective 1808. That power is temporally restrained by the explicit language we're discussing. Where is the language that limits that power so that it does not extend to indentured servants or free men seeking to immigrate as well?
I submit that the only limit on Congressional power to regulate immigration, other than the 1808 rule, is the selection of Senators by state legislatures. It inherently biased that chamber toward restraint in making laws that supersede any enacted by those legislatures. To me, that was a vital counterweight that we need to restore.
Then there's the practical problem. The original 13 states all had Atlantic coastal borders and ports, but the government under the Articles of Confederation had begin organizing territories that would eventually become new states, which were landlocked. In what meaningful way could my state of Kansas choose to allow immigration of people that must pass through several other states to get here? Those other states would seem to hold a veto over our decisions. That is precisely analogous to the logic for including the Interstate Commerce provisions.
- AnonymousNovember 20, 2008 at 5:27 PM
I entirely agree with you on the new subject. 1913 was a very bad year for our Republic, when Wilson and the Progressives endeavored mightily to recast it as a mobocracy. Both the 16th and 17th Amendments caused havoc with State's power over the Feds, and ought to be repealed.
As you suggest, the 17th changed the loyalties of Senators to the national Party that helped them get elected, rather than their own State's best interest. Although it was never properly ratified (another subject), the 16th allowed the Feds to bypass the messy business of asking the States to fund their adventures, by taxing their Citizens directly.
Then to top off their Progressive coup d'état, they passed the Federal Reserve Act to enable them to debauch our currency. We are currently in the initial stages of a massive hangover from that imprudent little bender. The pall presently hanging over DC is actually just smoke coming from the Treasury department's printing presses, which desperately need a rest. They are robbing us blind with inflation, and we won't even recognize this place a year from now when it has manifested in prices. Buy a wheelbarrow and buckle up.
As for our dead (or at least comatose) horse, we must agree to disagree. I find those extensive arguments and quotes at The Federalist Blog far more persuasive. They even address the westward expansion issue. ◄Dave►

I can't agree, though, Dave. i think you overstate the sovereignty of the States, and your article's arguments WRT the Naturalization clause are circular. The Supreme Court has disagreed with that interpretation for at least 100 years.
I was the Federalist Society chapter president of my law school. I'm sympathetic. But immigration is clearly an exclusively federal province - and it should be.

- Which brings us back around to the Reality of "santuary cities" - like entering the country, if illegals can get to such a place, they're good.
And why would the Feds cede this authority, unless they didn't like the odds booking on the outcome of the fight?

No. If the President ordered INS (or whatever it's called today) to send agents into a "sanctuary city" and enforce the relevant laws, that reality would change very quickly. As much as I despise "mandates", I reconize that the threat of revoking all "Federal" aid from such cities could change things too.
Instead, however, we have an enforcement regime that actively discourages state law-enforcement agencies from ascertaining the immigration status of someone in custody for some other infraction. That simply makes no sense to me. I would think that someone who is arrested for any reason would be subjected to a cursory check of criminal and immigration records.
Perhaps my opinion on the inherently national character of immigration is based on living about a mile from the KS/MO state line, which The Bride of Monster traverses daily driving to and from work, and I cross with barely a thought. There is even a street appropriately named "State Line Road"; the eponymous boundary runs roughly down the middle of it, occasionally passing to one side or the other, even through some buildings, as the early surveys upon which the road was built were not as accurate as what the law now recognizes.
There is no practical way that either state could police the border without making our lives far more difficult. The Berlin Wall truly divided two countries. We don't want that in the USA.

Monster, I saw a documentary on a small town that strides the Maine / Canadian border just like you describe, and life goes on just fine there. We can't even police our national northern and southern border. If memory serves, we have one border guard for every 200 mi. of the Canadian border. Why are you trying to make individual State sovereignty so complicated? It worked out well for the first half of our Republic's existence.ReplyDelete
The right to travel between the States is guaranteed to Citizens in the Constitution, so no State is going to completely close their borders. Nor would any State wish to inhibit tourism. Travelers spend money, even when just passing through. What they might wish to regulate, is residence and employment. As it stands now, politicians beholden to unions in Michigan are voting on whether to allow California to import temporary migrant piece-workers during harvest season. Politicians beholden to bleeding hearts in Seattle are voting on whether to permit mass migration of "asylum" seekers from Haiti into, and on the welfare rolls of, Florida; whether Florida wants them or not. These are the grievances.
If Kansas desired to expand its population with immigrants, I doubt that any State would refuse to allow them to pass through on the way there - as long as they didn't decide to stop and take up residence instead, in detriment to their own economy. ◄Dave►

Please note that in neither case do the Feds have the authority to simply order the local police to report illegal aliens to ICE... yet the local authorities do. What does that say about local sovereignty?ReplyDelete
It is worse than "sanctions," it is robbery followed by extortion. This is the only real power the Feds have over the States. They suck local Citizen's tax money into DC, and then dole it back out to the local agencies with strings attached.
I lived in Hawaii when the Feds decided they wanted a uniform drinking age of 21. In Hawaii it had always been 18, and they derived a lot of revenue from kids going there for HS graduation parties, university spring breaks, etc. Hawaii, as our youngest State, still jealously guards what they refer to as their "Home Rule" heritage, and there was a huge fight in the State legislature for a couple of years over the issue. The Feds flatly refused to release their share of the Interstate Hwy. funds until they changed their law. They almost didn't; but in the end they desperately needed the money, so arms were twisted and the law squeaked through. ◄Dave►
It's a little off-topic, but why would Hawaii get any interstate highway funds at all? It's not as though you can drive from there to any other state.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 21, 2008 at 8:46 AM
Good question, Doug. I had the same reaction when I first heard it. It turns out that the Interstate Hwy. system was initially justified on National Defense grounds, for the movement of troops and equipment in times of war. Oahu has several large military bases and nice freeways between them. They also have a Senator with lots of seniority. :)ReplyDelete
It is only fair, really. They pay the same Federal motor fuel taxes as mainland drivers. Besides they need them as "moving parking lots." There are many more cars than there are parking spaces anywhere near Honolulu, and if everyone tried to park them at once they simply couldn't. :) ◄Dave►

When comparing CloudBees vs Bamboo, the Slant community recommends CloudBees for most people. In the question"What are the best hosted continuous integration services?" CloudBees is ranked 9th while Bamboo is ranked 10th. The most important reason people chose CloudBees is:
Quick access to experts who are responsive, helpful, and friendly.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Great enterprise level support
Quick access to experts who are responsive, helpful, and friendly.
Pro Private and internal SVN and Git repositories
Support for both SVN and Git private repositories.
Pro Highly customisable
Jenkins is by far the most customizable solution on the market. And CloudBees is built on Jenkins. There are over 400 plugins to support building and testing virtually any project.
Pro Free for open source projects
CloudBees offers a solution for owners and developers of free and open source projects to be hosted and built by their service.
Pro Fine-grained control over each environment the project needs to be deployed to
Bamboo is the only build server to offer first-class support for the "delivery" aspect of continuous delivery. Deployment projects automate the tedium right out of releasing into each environment, while letting you control the flow with per-environment permissions.
Pro End-to-end visibility when linked to JIRA, Stash and HipChat
When connecting Bamboo with Stash and JIRA, details like JIRA issues, commits, reviews and approvals follow each release from development to production. If HipCHat is part of the integration, team members get notified right away in addition to email notifications.
Pro Integration with Docker
Bamboo allows using Docker containers to create build agents. Using Docker agents lets you run multiple remote agents on the same host without conflicting requirements. It makes it easier to duplicate and distribute changes to build agents, and to use scripts for creating and maintaining agents.
How can you define and build your own image and push it to a registry to share? This is when Bamboo's Docker tasks come into play. Docker tasks make it possible to build an image, run a container, and push a Docker image to a registry from within your build or deployment project.
Pro Out-of-the-box support for Git branching workflows
Bamboo allows you to automatically detect and build new branches, merge branches together when tests pass and continuously deploy code to staging and production servers based on branch name.
Pro Test automation
Out-of-the-box features that let developers perform parallel testing on elastic agents and quarantine flakey tests.
Pro Easy enterprise-grade administration
Avoid plugin hell by having most important capabilities as out-of-the-box features, not plugins. Bamboo is not just built for teams, but teams-of-teams. It has the administrative features you need to manage and maintain CI at scale. Enterprise model for access control, management, and support.
Pro Bundled AWS CodeDeploy task
Deploying applications with AWS CodeDeploy was always possible by using Bamboo script tasks, and it's now an easier process with a bundled add-on and its accompanying CodeDeploy task.
Pro Integration with Amazon S3
Bamboo can also be integrated with Amazon S3 for unlimited storage.
Con Java-only solution (without plugins)
Jenkins supports only software built with Java (unless you use plugins)
Con Very limited basic license.
Although they have $10 license it is very limited even for modest shops. Even next step of commercial license is very expensive for what you get.
Con Bamboo Cloud is going away in Jan. 2017
Migration to Bamboo Server is non-trivial and may not be worth the effort.
Bamboo does offer a free option for open source projects though it requires the user to apply for it in order to use it past the free trial.

A Scottish civil court ruled on Friday 5 October, that a man raped a former student of the University of St Andrews during Freshers' Week of 2013.
The attacker, Stephen Coxen, was criminally prosecuted in 2015, but a high court jury found that the charges against him could not be proven.
Scotland is unique in that the accused can be acquitted without a court determining whether or not they are guilty.
However, the civil ruling on Friday is a victory for the victim, known under the pseudonym "Miss M," with the decision awarding her £80,000 in damages.
It is also the first time in recent Scottish legal history that a defender has been cleared in a criminal court but sued in a civil court.
The attack took place on Saturday 14 September 2013 after Miss M and Mr Coxen met at the Lizard Lounge in St Andrews.
Miss M was under the influence of alcohol throughout the night and, after the two returned to her place of residence, he sexually assaulted her.
The court documents indicate, "While the defender was penetrating her vagina, the pursuer was upset and crying. The defender was aware of this but persisted with his conduct." Miss M also tried to push Mr Coxen away, but "he removed her hand from his chest" and continued to assault her.
Miss M reported the incident to the police in January 2014, and Mr Coxen was prosecuted shortly after she provided her statement on 24 January.
A High Court trial in late 2015 resulted in a verdict of "not proven" on the statutory charge of sexual assault and rape.
However, the new verdict from the civil courts finds that during the multiple sexual acts of Mr Coxen, "the pursuer lacked the ability to give meaningful consent to sexual intercourse with the defender," or that "the defender can have had no reasonable belief that the pursuer consented to what he did."
The court also found in fact and law that, "In the early hours of Saturday 14 September 2013, accordingly, the defender took advantage of the pursuer when she was in an intoxicated state by reason of the amount of alcohol she had consumed, resulting in a lack of capacity to make free agreement, that he continued to do so even after she manifested distress and a measure of physical resistance, and that he raped her."
Miss M still suffers symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the incident and received counselling and support from the University's Student Services between 2014 and 2016.
On the verdict, a spokesperson for the University said, "Our Student Services team has provided continuing practical and pastoral support to Miss M, initially as a student and latterly after she graduated and became a member of staff at St Andrews. It has been an understandably difficult case which had a major bearing on her wellbeing and future plans, and we are very pleased for her that it has now reached a conclusion."

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. Each weekend I'll post about any new books I've gotten either in my mailbox or from a store or library that week. If I haven't gotten any new books, I'll wait until I do.
This week I decided to pick up a few books from series I've fallen behind in, plus a 2011 debut that sounds hilarious. Vampire Mine and Sexiest Vampire Alive are the newest in Kerrelyn Sparks hilarious Love at Stake series and The Reluctant Vampire is the newest Argeneau/Rogue Hunter novel from Lynsay Sands.
Secrets of the Demon is part of the Kara Gillian urban fantasy series which I want to get caught up on very soon. It's a great blend of demons and police procedural and I loved the first one. The last book A Brush of Darkness is totally new to me and I brought it because it has a heroine who has a unicorn with an attitude problem living in her underwear drawer.

HIV Age Positively
Innovation for the ageing population
HIV Age Positively is a Gilead initiative that aims to address the greatest challenges in HIV – taking action for today and for tomorrow. The HIV Age Positively grants programme is key to this initiative.
Over the years, the HIV community has pushed boundaries, broken down barriers and campaigned for positive change.
But as the first generation of people with HIV enters later life, new and unprecedented challenges are emerging, while many historic challenges remain.
Now is the time to support innovative and bold approaches to treatment and care so that all people living with HIV lead even longer, healthier and more fulfilled lives.
The HIV Age Positively grants programme aims to provide funding for projects inspired by thinking and doing things differently, accelerating innovation for the ageing population. The grants programme is now open and submissions will be accepted until 18 October 2019.
HIV Age Positively is based on four key focus areas that reflect areas of HIV care where innovation is needed to improve the lives of all people ageing with HIV. Gilead strives to support grant requests, whether focussed on community/patient or medical/scientific programmes or a mix of both, which focus on one or more of the key focus areas outlined below:
- Community Action: We know the importance of the community perspective when it comes to planning and implementing HIV care. +Community Action aims to ensure the voices of people living with HIV are heard in decision making at a national or local level. This includes ensuring people living with HIV are able to develop and influence new and existing models for long-term care. It also includes educating non-HIV specialists about the challenges of HIV and ageing.
- Personal Health: There is good evidence to show when individuals are engaged in their own care we see an improvement in their clinical outcomes. This is particularly important to address the issue of social isolation, associated with ageing and HIV alike. +Personal Health aims to empower individuals to manage their overall health and wellbeing, and to take an active role in their care through shared decision-making.
- Equality: Health inequalities and stigma disproportionately affect people living with HIV and can result in poorer long-term health outcomes. +Equality aims to improve equality and equity, and reduce stigma and enhance health and wellbeing.
- Health Services: Health services must be both efficient and effective in order to meet the diverse needs of the ageing HIV population. +Health Services aims to address inefficiencies, promote the sharing of specialist knowledge, and champion best practice in current and new HIV care services at a local, regional and national level.
See the HIV Age Positively grants FAQs document for more information on applying. Please note that research proposals will not be considered under this programme.

What do you do when your bullets don't weigh correctly?
HAUGH posted a topic in General ReloadingSo I ordered some black bullets international, 9mm 125gr and 40sw 180gr. I just got them a few days ago as I wanted to try the Hitek coated bullets. I know a lot of people here use jacketed bullets but would really like to get some input from you guys using lead and in general from everyone who buys bullets and expects them to weigh out correctly....heres the deal. I started weighing the 9mm which are supposed to be 125gr. They are weighing out to 121, 122, 123 and barely 124gr...I've got maybe a handful or less of actual 125gr. So I email them, and here is their response....."Different lots of lead have slight variations in density and create this issue. Our 125s have been running around 123.6 +/- 1.2 grains for normal lead bullet variation. This is typical of a lead bullet." I don't really care for the response because I started weighing the 40sw 180gr bullets and they are all weighing 180gr......so if their lead batches are different why do these 40sw weigh what they are supposed to? What do you guys think of that response? I've only been loading for about 18months and only loading lead for the past 6 months with the same 9mm lead bullets from Rocky Mountain Reloading....their bullets did all mostly weight 125gr. I completely understand the deal with different lead batches and their contents and how they might weigh differently, but why would you advertise and sell a bullet that is supposed to be 125gr and have them actually weigh less. I mean are other companies that are selling lead bullets doing the same thing? Shouldn't the company making lead bullets figure out how to make their batches consistent weight? As I said I've only been loading lead for the past six months and that was with the 3k of 125gr I bought from Rocky Mountain Reloading. I ran out which is why I bought some BBI bullets to try out as I wanted less smoke and they had an excellent price. But I was looking at a handful of different lead vendors and settled on Black Bullets International because of their price and the fact that shipping was included compared to Bayou who charges more for shipping. So i guess what I'm asking is if I order from a place like Bayou or some other place making lead bullets am I going to get the same BS that I am currently experiencing from BBI? I want my bullets to be a solid consistent weight, so my loads will shoot the same. If I load 1 or 2 grs less with powder that completely changes the way my ammo shoots/feels, wouldn't the same thing happen with bullets that don't weigh what they're supposed to? Black Bullets International said "I" could ship back the bullets if I wasn't happy with the fact that they are not weighing 125gr....Really disappointed in this company right now. I was excited to try the coated bullets at the great price, but this is putting a bad taste in my mouth with BBI

If you are having trouble migrating your website from another host, or just don't have the time, DreamHost currently offers a service that takes care of that for you. You can find more information in the DreamHost Website migration services article.
To help migrate your site to DreamHost, you can use the free Duplicator plugin. This packages up your WordPress install (including plugins and themes) as well as the MySQL database on the "source" side.
The following steps walk you through the migration process.
- Navigate to 'Plugins > Add New' to install and activate. Open the Duplicator plugin by clicking 'Duplicator' in the left pane.
- Click the Create New button.
- On this page, name this backup anything you like and click the Next button.
- The following screen appears:
- Click the Build button to create the backup.
- The download page appears.
- Click on both the Installer and Archive buttons to download the files.
- You will have downloaded a file named 'installer.php' and '20181218_newbackup_0767eb2a831391167732_20181218001944_archive.zip'.
- Use the FTP article to upload the installer.php and .zip files to your new WordPress site.
You should not unzip the .zip file. Just upload it as it is. It will be decompressed in the following steps.
- Go to to your MySQL Databases page at MySQL Databases.
- Create a new hostname and empty database for the site you're migrating to.
- Once you create the database, visit the new URLs installer.php file. For example:
- The following page appears.
- Check the box to accept the terms & notices, then click the Next button.
- On this page, enter your new database credentials and then click the Test Database button. You should see a green 'Success' response.
- Click the Next button.
- A pop-up displays asking you to confirm if you want to run the installer on this database. Click Yes.
- At step#3, you are asked to confirm the URL, Path, and Title of the new install. Click Next.
- At step#4, make sure the box is checked next to 'Auto delete installer files after login'.
- Click the Admin Login button.
- Log into your new site with the same WordPress user/pass as the old site.
- You'll see a message indicating all installer files have been removed.
The former WordPress site is now duplicated into the new site URL.
- Your source and target systems need to have the ZipArchive PHP extension installed so that the Duplicator plugin can zip the package. You can check this by going to the System Compatibility page in the Duplicator plugin. On DreamHost, that means your site must be running PHP 7.2+.
- Depending on the file size of your WordPress site and database, the plugin may experience problems with importing your content to DreamHost. If the file size is too large, PHP may time out while attempting to restore the backup that the plugin creates. If this is the case, you can try to increase your PHP memory settings using a phprc file using the following article:
Assuming your DNS is already pointed to DreamHost, your site will now resolve online. If your DNS is not pointed to DreamHost, view the following articles:

In the 2008 Farm Bill, Congress tasked the states and territories with assessing all the forests within their boundaries and developing strategies to improve the health, resiliency, and productivity of those forests. Assessing forest resources and engaging in strategic planning for those resources were not new activities for most states and territories. For others, the 2008 Farm Bill presented an opportunity to revise their usual agency planning process.
By 2010, each state and territory completed a Forest Action Plan. Now they are tasked with completing comprehensive revisions of their Forest Action Plans by June 2020. The following resources are for state forestry agencies navigating the 10-year revision process.

- Due dates for this 10-year revision, and future five-year reviews, are based on when each individual state last completed a full update or full revision to their Forest Action Plan.
- For states that have not completed a full revision since 2010 (even if some substantive changes were made to portions of the Forest Action Plan), the deadline for revisions is June 2020.
- Every national priorities section or report (submitted in fall 2015) should be revised, along with the assessments and strategies by June 2020.
Guide for State Forest Action Plans
Developed by the USDA Forest Service, Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry, and the Northeast-Midwest State Foresters Alliance's Forest Resource Planning Committee, this guide lists requirements and provides tips for state planners as they update their state Forest Action Plans.
UCF Resources for 10-Year Revisions
This document provides state forestry agencies with summaries of national and regional urban and community forestry (UCF) strategic plans and reports that could prove useful as they revise their own Forest Action Plans. It also includes a section on emerging UCF issues that may warrant inclusion in 10-year revisions and a list of reference language by UCF topic.
Forest Action Plan Implementation: Lessons Learned from the Northeast and Midwest
To foster continual learning and sharing around state Forest Action Plans, the Northeastern Area Association of State Foresters' Forest Resource Planning Committee and USDA Forest Service's Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry compiled the lessons learned specific to the implementation of these plans with the help of state forest planners across the Northeast and Midwest.
Guide for Using Social Media to Promote Forest Action Plans
NASF teamed up with the USDA Forest Service's Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry team and the Northeast-Midwest State Foresters Alliance to deliver tips and tricks for using social media to promote Forest Action Plan revisions. The presentation covers: (1) the origin and basics of state Forest Action Plans and 10-year revisions due in 2020, (2) strategic messaging explaining the importance, purpose, and effects of Forest Action Plans, and (3) a list of easy, plug-and-play steps to boost engagement and reach on social media platforms.
Guide for Generating Infographics Using Your State's Biennial Survey Data
Using the information state forestry agencies submitted for the 2018 NASF Biennial Survey and NASF Performance Measures, NASF has created a smart online form that allows users to display data points and statistics specific to a given state or region in appealing, social-media-ready configurations. Click here to access our "infographic generator" and above for the guide on using it.
How Conservation Districts Can Engage in the Forest Action Plan Revision Process
In November 2019, the National Association of Conservation Districts hosted a webinar entitled "Engaging Your State Forestry Agency for Urban and Community Forestry." The webinar's three presenters—Whitney Forman-Cook, NASF; Rachel Ormseth, South Dakota Division of Resource Conservation & Forestry; and Cindy Zenk, South Dakota's Conservation Districts—discussed how conservation districts can engage their state forestry agencies through shared programming and the Forest Action Plan revision process.
Though not required, in many states there may be an opportunity to collaborate or coordinate with National Forest System land management planners during their revision process. Potentially helpful documents are below:
- Planning Rule 101
- National Forest System (NFS) Planning: Best Practices Learned from Forest Planning Revision Efforts
- State and Local Government Guide to the 2012 Planning Rule
- NFS Map and Plan Revision Schedule
With general inquiries, please call the NASF office at (202) 624-5415.

3D video 'virtual tours' – a great new marketing tool
Using the Panasonic AG-3DA1 3D camera combined with a 3D monitor (BT-3DL2550) provided by Top Teks and grip equipment by Alphagrip, Real Property Tours (Real Impact Productions) completed their first 3D filming test of a prestigious Crown Estate property in The Regent's Park in December.
Managing Director Lee Helliar said, "We've filmed a range of properties from GBP180K to GBP30 million in value in 2D over the last eight years and wanted to see if 3D would bring a new visual dynamic to remote property viewing. Just because it's 3D doesn't mean it's going to enhance the experience, so we decided to carry out test filming first, on two different 3D set-ups. The results from the first shoot are available to view on YouTube 3D. (You will need glasses to watch the video. Select the version to suit your glasses)
"The attraction of the Panasonic camera was that it allows crews new to 3D to concentrate on the 3D format of the footage as well as traditional elements of film-making. We were able to avoid having to get to grips with a two-camera system, since Panasonic's device incorporates two lenses. Our aim was to achieve a 'real' viewing experience rather than a gimmicky one. In addition, Panasonic's system was fairly easy to use and carried out much of the work which would otherwise have to be done by a convergence puller but you still need a stereographer."
Lee added, "Cooper Rose (customised creative design for print & web) kindly provided a property that would really allow us to test the camera and we've put together a selection of shots to show what works and what doesn't. You have to think differently when filming 3D to conventional 2D, both with regard to the filming and editing processes.
"It's just as important to view 3D footage on an appropriate device. For our shoot, we played the initial results through a 65-inch 'active' Panasonic screen at Top Teks with active shutter glasses and the picture detail was stunning – it really leapt out at us!
"Since then we've viewed the footage on YouTube 3D, where some of the 3-dimensional quality is unavoidably lost. Passive screens (at the movies), viewed with tinted (3D) glasses, are now more popular, but the resolution is not as good as on active shutter glasses displays."
Richard Cornish of Cooper Rose commented on the marketing potential of 3D: "Viewing terminals using 3D plasma screens placed in developers' showrooms and inside agents' windows would represent obvious applications of this technology. Branded glasses could be produced to support such a venture while clients could be even more impressed with the use of the latest lenticular screens, which don't require glasses at all.
Recent news from the United States indicates that mobile phones will be one of the fastest-growing viewing devices for 3D with Nintendo and LG with Optimus leading the way in small screen viewing."
Real Property Tours are now testing a two-camera 3D beam splitter rig with two Sony EX3's before offering two 3D filming packages to residential agents, developers and hoteliers.
Real Impact Productions offers 3D video capture to their corporate, advertising and civil engineering clients.
Lee added, "We've learned a lot from the initial filming about 3D and the next test filming means we can push our equipment further to deliver even more stunning results."

Anita was a barmaid in a Manchester city centre pub where Paul Kershaw went to celebrate his birthday in the company of Lloyd Mullaney, Steve McDonald and Brian Packham. There was high tension between Paul and Lloyd due to the latter taking offence a few weeks earlier when he overheard Paul using the phrase "play the white man" during a game of darts in the Rovers. The dispute between them had reached the point of violent assault which ended up with Paul in court and the drink out was suggested by Eileen Grimshaw as an attempt to bury the hatchet. It didn't work and Lloyd found himself alone in the establishment.
A gang of racist thugs started to create trouble, especially when Lloyd started to chat Anita up. Mark, one of the thugs, asked for a lager and black, putting stress on the latter. Lloyd gave Anita one of his Street Cars cards and left, only for the thugs to ambush him outside. Paul came back to Lloyd's rescue and Anita rang the police, rushing outside to tell the gang that they were on their way. This caused the lads to disperse.

NHS Health Checks for Men
Men (and women) aged between can benefit from a NHS Health Check It is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40-74. It's designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. As we get older, we have a higher risk of developing one of these conditions. An NHS Health Check helps find ways to lower this risk.
If you're in the 40-74 age group without a pre-existing condition, you can expect to receive a letter from your GP or local authority inviting you for a free NHS Health Check every five years. In the meantime, you may want to try this online Heart Age test.
If you haven't received a letter inviting you to Dr Maassarani and Partners for your NHS Health Check, please call us Monday to Friday after 11am to book in 0151 902 0010.

Plan B, tagalong and Bear
- Attending a dinner on Saturday evening that was nothing short of stupendous. Friend Susan invited me to go with her to a chef's dinner she had bid on at a silent auction and won. Six courses that took four hours before it was over. My favorite - the grouper topped with a crabmeat stuffed squash blossom that had been breaded and sauteed. And bananas foster for dessert. Yummmmm.
- And knowing that we all like dogs, toward the end of the meal, the chef and his wife let the dogs inside. One of them was a stray, a dog named Bear, who is a love. He surfaces from under the table and looks up at me with an expectant look. "No scraps from me, my friend." So he settles down and lays his head on my foot and falls asleep.

I adore Plan B. Dinner sounded delicious. Yum. Have a wonderful Monday, my friend. :)

Rain is such a welcome excuse not to exercise without guilt:)
Susan is a great friend to share such a prize with you.
I'm guessing Bear was wishing to go home with you.

I'm glad the dinner was as lovely as you thought it would be! I love walks too, but coffee on the couch sounds very cozy.
Earl Grey wasn't nearly as polite as that dog when my friend came over and he found out she wouldn't share her chicken teriyaki with him. After that, she tried to pet him and he literally turned the other cheek!

happygirl -
Plan B was perfect! I hope your Monday is wonderful, too.
Granny Annie -
I'll say. It's still raining today. I was thinking of walking in a mall somewhere, or milking the no exercise for one more day. :)
Yes - wasn't it nice of her to do that? She is a great friend.
And when I said that I just needed to take Bear on home with me, they said he'd probably go. But he's got a sweet life with them. They say he is the most pleasant dog ever, but fears men with ball caps. Someone abused him, I guess. Terrible to think of. And they ask people to remove caps when coming in contact with him.
Riot Kitty -
That's a cat for you - full of attitude. :) Funny.
Joanne -
He is - so precious.
Dana -
Pretty amazing. I feel as if I did nothing but eat all weekend, so I just had a little fruit and cheese for lunch.

Wow a 6 course meal! I can't cope with 3 courses. I can only ever eat 2. But I suppose if it was over 4 hours that would make it easier.

Loving the dogs, because I am a complete softy it would have been eating out of my hand. This would have annoyed the house cats greatly when I returned home.

Sounds like the PERFECT Saturday night, and I don't know what the banana dessert is, but I'm sure it was divine! So glad you enjoyed it and got to mingle with the pups.
Nice photo, btw. LOVE it, even if it was raining.

Thank you and you have a nice week, too.
Joe -
Yes - it was spread out and the portions were small. :)

Thank you - there is something very calming about rain, I think.

Sorry you missed your walk. Your plants look happy! i cannot imagine a 4 hour meal- wonder how much it would've cost. Desert sounds good to me-

I do enjoy my Sunday morning walk - a good time to reflect, but I managed to reflect from the couch, too.
