Some art for the upcoming Fly Fishing Film Tour
Some recent projects
Bone close up
Been too long!!
"Torch Bearer"
I didn't realize what was going on when they asked me to film myself answering a few questions on camera. I knew they were making some sort of film about a few people, but to claimed as a "Torch Bearer," the future of flyfishing was quite an honor. I had no idea it was coming and still don't believe it. I was joined by a good number of fellow names and will never forget it. I am very excited about the future of my artwork and activity in this amazing sport…thanks BTT.
As you can see my camera equipment is far from good.

Here are some recent paintings I have done. I will try to keep this newer, fresher and more current. I tend to rely on the Instagram side of things and need to focus more on this, being lazy happens!

Nigeria has become the latest partner country to join the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI). In joining IATI, Nigeria takes its place among the 25 partner countries that are leading the creation of a global standard for presenting data on development cooperation financing.
Dr. Abubakar Olanrewaju Sulaiman, Minister and Deputy Chairman of the National Planning Commission, said, "We are delighted to join the International Aid Transparency Initiative as part of steps towards achieving the Transformation Agenda of the present administration. We look forward to working together with other partners to bring greater transparency to development cooperation."
IATI is a multi-stakeholder initiative that seeks to increase the transparency of development cooperation to maximize impact on poverty. IATI has developed an open data standard – the IATI Standard – which enables a wide range of organisations to publish information on their development cooperation in a common, open, electronic format. To date, over 300 organisations have published to IATI.
Once published to the IATI Standard, development funding data can be used in various formats and combined with other information for multiple purposes. Governments can use the timely, comprehensive data to generate budgets and national plans, and citizens can track and monitor use of development resources against reported allocations.
Nigeria is the 11th African country to become a member of IATI. It joins Ghana, which holds responsibility for IATI partner country outreach, as well as regional neighbours Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Tanzania.
As a member, Nigeria will have the opportunity to contribute to the governance of IATI as part of its Steering Committee, and to learn from the experience of other members in managing data related to development cooperation financing.

While bankruptcy can sometimes be a very relieving procedure, as it allows you to free yourself from overwhelming debt, it is certainly not always an easy or pleasant procedure.
It involves having complete strangers (unless your lawyer is a friend of yours) pour over and scrutinize every single bill, debt, credit card statement, loan, and financial document you have. If nothing else, it is embarrassing to admit to your creditors and the court that you were unable to manage your income and pay debts you racked up, whether or not the bills incurred were within your control.
This is where having a solid, trustworthy bankruptcy attorney comes into play. He or she can walk you through this humbling and time-sensitive process, making sure that you a treated fairly and with dignity, and that you are able to keep as many assets as you possibly can. A good attorney can simplify complicated and complex legal document wording, make sure you are meeting deadlines for forms fees.
The first step to filing for bankruptcy is deciding whether bankruptcy is even in your best interest under your particular and unique circumstances. If it is, the next choice is which type of bankruptcy to file for: either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
First and foremost, start looking right away. As soon as you decide to file for bankruptcy, start looking for a lawyer. Like most services, lawyers who are good often book up well in advance. Plus, due to the amount of documentation and paperwork, you will need to allow your attorney ample time to compile all the information you will need to provide for the bankruptcy.
It is best to hire a lawyer who is experienced in the bankruptcy field and is familiar with all of the details and nuances of the process. One way to know a lawyer is devoted to bankruptcy law practice is to check the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA). Also, make sure they are actually certified in your state to lead a bankruptcy proceeding by checking your state's bar association website.
Recommendation is always the best way to find most services. Ask around and see if anyone you know has needed to file for bankruptcy, and request the name of their lawyer. If you do not know anyone who has gone through the process, turn to the internet. Many lawyer's websites and search engines have reviews and ratings, which can give you some insight into his or her professionalism.
If you have decided to file for bankruptcy, chances are you are doing so because money is tight, and the last thing you want to do is spend more money to hire a lawyer. However, you truly do get what you pay for. A cheap lawyer is a cheap lawyer. When your financial wellbeing hangs in the balance, this is not the place to pinch pennies.
Generally, however, price will not be much of a deciding factor in this process because most attorney fees for bankruptcies are pretty standard and do not vary widely from state to state. The process, aside from paperwork, is not terribly involved from a lawyer's standpoint, and the courts prevent lawyers from price gouging in these circumstances.
Remember, you are hiring an attorney to perform a service for you, so it would be wise to interview them like you would any other job candidate. You can schedule a consultation with any attorneys that you are considering working with to conduct the interview.
Speaking of the consultation, the best bankruptcy attorneys will offer a free consultation rather than charging you for it.
Ask about the attorney's background, their experience, certifications they may have, and what kinds of professional successes he or she is most proud of.
This accomplishes two things - first, you learn more about their skill and ability to handle your case, and secondly, they should be willing to spend some time talking to you.
If they brush off your questions, answer with annoyance with one word responses, and do not take you seriously, expect to be treated the same way during the bankruptcy process. If he or she is not willing to treat you with patience, dignity, and respect, you should find a different lawyer.
There are numerous qualities that you will want to look for in any bankruptcy lawyer, and first impressions do matter.
But beyond the lawyer being professional, treating you with respect, and feeling a 'good vibe' when you meet with them, you'll also want to pay attention to a number of other things.
For example, does the lawyer discuss all of your available options, or do they try really hard to push you in favor of one particular direction?
A truly good attorney will lay out all of your available options before you, inform you of the pros and cons of each, and respect whichever decision you end up choosing to make.
Next, pay attention to the 'energy' from the attorney. In other words, do they seem passionate about what they do? Do they legitimately care about you and your situation or do you feel like you are just 'another client' for them?
Even though working as a bankruptcy attorney may seem like a boring process, the truth is that there are many attorneys who are deeply passionate about their job, because they legitimately enjoy helping people with their debts and improving their lives.
The next quality that you will be wise to look for in a bankruptcy attorney is how well they listen to you. The last kind of attorney you want is one who will talk on and on without giving you much time to speak.
The ideal attorney will ask you a lot of questions and listen carefully to each response and perhaps even take notes. Also don't be afraid to ask your attorney any questions, and pay close attention to whether your attorney gives an in-depth response or whether they just try to answer your question(s) as quickly as possible.
Last but not least, the attorney you choose should specialize specifically in bankruptcy cases. This is something that you should inquire about in the initial interview and consultation.
Filing 'pro se' means that you will file for bankruptcy without the aid of an attorney. Many people are not aware of this option, even though nearly a third of all bankruptcies are filed pro se. However, at the same time, it's not necessary the best option either.
When you file for bankruptcy by yourself and without the aid of an attorney, you will still be held to the same standards as an attorney by the courts. As a result, if you ever give an answer such as 'I don't know' or 'I'm not sure,' that is not going to bode well for you because you are still held to the same standards as an attorney.
The biggest reason why people will file pro se is simply because they are unable to afford the fees of hiring an attorney. Another big reason is because people believe hiring an attorney will complicate the process and therefore don't view the attorney as being necessary.
But the truth is that filing bankruptcy pro se will not be the best option even if you can't afford to hire an attorney. For one thing, bankruptcies are notoriously complicated, and the knowledge an attorney can provide you with is simply invaluable.
Remember, you are held to the same standard as an attorney when you file pro se. If you are not well versed or researched in the field of bankruptcies, you're going to naturally encounter a large number of problems when you file.
It's very common for people who file pro se to make a large number of mistakes, such as neglecting to include a source of income. Making simple mistakes such as this can result in your case being dismissed by the court, which is probably the very last thing you want.
Another reason to avoid filing pro se and to instead seek the help of an attorney is because an attorney will know how to protect as many of your assets as possible. There is a common misconception that filing for bankruptcy means you are going to lose all of your assets. Many people who file for bankruptcy pro se will fail to claim property exemptions, which means that they commonly lose valuable assets such as their vehicles, their home, or valuable family heirlooms.
In short, hiring a quality attorney will simply make the process of filing bankruptcy significantly easier for you. If your knowledge on filing for bankruptcy is limited, spending the money on an attorney will be wise.
Once you have found a lawyer who is willing to answer your questions fully, patiently, respectfully, and professionally, it will be time to hire him or her. This is the easy part as long as you make sure to be thorough.
You and your lawyer will be composing a contract outlining the price you have both agreed upon, the scope of work that he or she will be completing for you, and when you will be expected to pay for the services.
Make sure that you are completely clear on all of these items before you sign any contract. He or she should be able and willing to explain all charges and his or her role in the procedure.

I hope that you have enjoyed the blog posting over the last month as I shared with you some of the wisdom I have gleaned from Jim and Charles Fey from Love and Logic, particularly their views on technology and kids. I would even urge you to reread the articles all in one sitting. Today, however, I will return to writing my own material.
This is the time of year that I do formal observations in the classroom. For the past week I have spent some time in the classrooms observing each of our teachers as they presented a lesson to the class. While the teachers are somewhat stressed by this, I must say, this is one of my favorite times of the year. The reason I like it so much is not because I want to stress my teachers. Rather, it is because I thoroughly enjoy seeing our terrific staff doing what they do so well.
I must tell you that we are extremely blessed as a school. We have some of the best teachers anywhere to be found. What truly amazes me is the fact that each of our teachers is here at great personal sacrifice. Each of them could go most anywhere else and make more money. Instead, they have chosen to be here, working with, praying for, and giving themselves to you and your children. I could not be more proud to be part of this incredible team.
As always, I consider it a great privilege to serve the Kingdom in this place. Thank you for allowing each of us to be part of your family and thank you for being part of our Fairview family.
I think this verse sums up how we all feel here at Fairview. Colossians 3:17 "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." As we serve you, we do so in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Again, thank you for the privilege to do so.

In this vision of the future, an apocalypse has decimated the U.S. population. That causes a shake-up in the political system, placing every adult in Congress. The Horse in Motion production runs through April 29.
Among all the obvious downsides to a population-decimating apocalypse, surely there would be a few silver linings, like say, no more disingenuous political posturing. That might be nice.
Nope, says Brendan Pelsue, playwright of "Wellesley Girl," a clever satire of American exceptionalism set almost 450 years from now in a United States that has dwindled to just a few walled towns in Massachusetts.
In this vision of the future, the political system's centrality to American life has only become magnified. So has the grandstanding. The population remains just large enough to fill out the House of Representatives, so now every adult is a member of Congress. Well, everybody except one — she's the Supreme Court justice.
'Wellesley Girl'
by Brendan Pelsue. Through April 29, a Horse in Motion production, 18th and Union, Seattle; $17, $28 (thehorseinmotion.org).
"Wellesley Girl" represents a new tack for The Horse in Motion, which presents the West Coast premiere of the play. The company has previously staged an immersive, nonlinear production of Martin Crimp's aggressively experimental "Attempts on Her Life" and a trio of intertwined Bertolt Brecht plays, accompanied by breakfast in burlesque bar Can Can.

- New music venue coalition warns that without help, some Seattle clubs may close for good due to coronavirus
"Wellesley Girl" has a somewhat unusual conceit, but is a completely straightforward play with an almost thrillerlike narrative efficiency. Director Bobbin Ramsey, who has helmed the other Horse in Motion projects, clearly isn't bored by just a "normal play," and the staging has its own peculiar energy.
Humanity's stubborn adherence to outdated modes of thinking is just one of the concerns of Pelsue's script, which focuses on compelling character snapshots and doesn't get too bogged down in ponderous allegorical broadsides.
The play begins after the arrival of a mysterious group of people outside the country's walls has thrown the government into crisis mode, with RJ (Ben Phillips) arguing for a diplomatic approach and Scott (Mario Orallo-Molinaro) urging a pre-emptive strike.
Caught in the middle are wife-and-husband Marie (Sunam Ellis) and Max (Joseph Shaw); she's dismayed at the reckless manipulation being espoused and what she sees as the unconscionable apathy of her husband, who hasn't been voting on recent proposals. Max is paralyzed by fear, but he's also obsessed with what could have been, lingering over conversation with neighbor and former flame Garth (Shaudi Bianca Vahdat).
The apocalypse hasn't snuffed out romantic conflicts either, and that's especially true for Garth, whose relationship with empathetic robot Hank (Nic Morden) is far more complicated than typical sentient/nonsentient interactions.
In a society where no one is just a cog, individual actions take on extraordinary significance, and no one understands that better than Donna (Laura Steele), the justice so committed to her role that she issues a couple of dissents alongside her majority opinion.
That's a good line, and it's far from the only one to provoke easy laughter. Pelsue's wit extends to bits about robot self-awareness and the unabashed doublespeak of self-interested parties (Scott: "The opacity of our laws gives them clarity").
But things can only stay funny for so long, particularly amid talk of "scorched earth" policies that don't sound too dissimilar to some of the saber-rattling taking place in 2017.
In 2465, a kind of democracy has survived, but that means only so much when the humans populating it are still terrifyingly fragile.

THE MARCH-APRIL 2014 BIBLE ADVOCATE SAYS: Although CoG7 doctrine supports Christ's deity, some of us aren't fully convinced. Is Jesus really God?
SOME IN THE 7TH DAY SABBATH CHURCHES [some in the Protestant churches also] teach Jesus never eternally existed but was "created" - some go as far as saying Jesus did not exist until conceived in the womb of Mary. Some teach Jesus was just a man with more of the Holy Spirit than other humans. The nut-shell truth of the matter is given by the Church of God, 7th Day, out of Denver, CO. USA. Keith Hunt
The teaching of Christ's deity, adopted officially in 1994 and reaffirmed often since, continues to attract interest and discussion in the Church. Rightly handled, this discussion encourages growth in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
(FOR ABOUT 150 YEARS THE CoG7Day [Denver] believed the opposite to what they now teach. They have a very fine booklet on the in-depth truth of this subject - Keith Hunt)
Here's why we believe that Christ the only begotten Son is, with His Father, inherent and integral to our concept of the one true God:
Because Jesus is given, or takes to Himself, the names of God, such as I Am, Lord, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, and Immanuel (Isa. 7:14; 9:6; John 8:58; Phil. 2:11).
Because Jesus is the Truth: He perfectly speaks the very words of God more than any other prophet, including Moses (John 8:26; 12:49; 14:6, 10, 24; 17:8; Deut. 18:15-18; Heb. 1:1,2).
Because Jesus does mighty works that only God can do: He creates, sustains, and controls the universe; forgives sins; saves the world; hears and answers prayer (John 1:3; 1 Cor. 8:6; Eph. 3:9; Col. 1:16, 17; Heb. 1:1-3; Mark 2:5-12; 4:41; Acts 7:59).
Because Jesus receives the worship and service that is due to God alone (Matt. 4:10; 8:2; 14:33; 28:9; John 9:38; Luke 24:52; Heb. 1:6; Rev. 5:8).
Because Jesus fully exhibits God's attributes: omniscience, omnipotence, holiness, love, and more (Luke 5:22; 6:8; 9:47; John 2:25; Matt. 28:18; Heb. 4:15b; 1 Peter 2:22; John 13:1; 15:9, 13).
The Bible's view of the Lord Jesus is lofty. It refers to Him as "God" in nine texts: Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:23; John 1:1; 20:28; Romans 9:5; 1 Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8; and 1 John 5:20.
What we've said so far may be seen as mere proof-texting. The truth can be further confirmed by study of key Christological passages:
Matthew 11:27, linked with John 5:18, 19; 10:30: Jesus is equal to and one with His Father, in that each alone knows the other fully.
John 1:1 -3, 14: The Word that was with God and was God in the beginning became flesh: Jesus the Christ. The only begotten of the Father was full of God's glorious grace and truth.
Philippians 2:5-11: Jesus fully shared the divine image and glory of His Father before becoming man, as He confirms in John 17:5. Every tongue should confess Jesus Christ as Lord — a title reserved for God alone (Isa. 45:23).
Colossians 1:13-23: Christ is exalted to highest heaven, preeminent by God's good pleasure. Deity fully dwells in Him bodily (2:9).
Hebrews 1: Jesus Christ, the brightness of God's glory and express image of His person (v. 3), is no mere angel. Rather, He, as God, receives worship from all God's angels (vv. 4-14).
Revelation 1:8, 11, 17, 18; 17:14; 19:16: The glorified Christ describes Himself in terms reserved for God himself: Alpha and Omega; Beginning and End; First and Last; the one who was, is, and is to come; King of Kings and Lord of Lords (compare Isa. 44:6; 1 Tim. 6:13-16).
Based on the written Word, we may be confident that the Living Word was both God and man, thus able to mediate and reconcile the two.

Ghana's former president and ranking member of the National Democratic Congress, John Mahama has come under fire from several quarters following the ruling on Kenya's presidential elections.
Get more news and articles on trending and current issues in politics in Ghana here on YEN.com.gh
Most of these attacks were against the backdrop that John Mahama had ticked the Kenyan elections as free and fair, only for that to be disproved later.

Some other sects have stated that John Mahama was initially unfit to be in his position as an observer because of his close relationship with Uhuru Kenyatta.
Uhuru, who is the incumbent President of Kenya was earlier declared as the winner of the annuled August 8th elections.
However, speaking to the issues, Dr. Emmanuel Akwetey revealed that John Mahama and South Africa's former President Thabo Mbeki advised Kenyan opposition leader, Raila Odinga, to go to court over the country's presidential election.
This new revelations will supposedly silence the critics of Mahama who had accused him of executing his job poorly using the cancellation of the August 8 vote as proof.
In a post on Facebook, Akwetey explained that even as John Mahama and Thabo Mbeki had marked the elections as legit, they heard the protest by Raila and the NASA on the hacking issues.
"...international observers and their leaders could neither investigate the hacking etc allegations on the spot nor stop the declaration of the results, which the IEBC alone was empowered to do", Dr. Akwetey explained.
He also revealed that Mahama and Mbeki had advised Raila and the opposition to take up the contest in court - an advice which was supposedly ignore.

Add your mudroom to the summer to do list! Cause it's gonna get lots of use when the school year is over!
Backpacks dropped off all year, winter coats & boots, rain gear … it's time to clear it out and make room for summer fun!
Out of site out of mind till the school year starts up again and chillier weather comes our way, and both will!
So lets give ourselves a break and enjoy the summer while it's here!
The best way I know of to really get excited about a mudroom makeover is actually to just paint!
A fresh coat of paint does wonders, storage helps too! but paint really freshens things up after the long winter season.
Who says a mudroom has to be neutral! Make it fun & cheerful with gradating colors of pink!
Or, let your kids pick their own color for their personalized cubby ~ it gives them a sense of ownership & makes for a fun day together!
I just love this design by Candice Olson using Benjamin Moore Paints.
A mud room that doesn't need to be behind closed doors! It's simple, functional and looks great!
Designed by Candice Olson.
Benjamin Moore Paint Colors: Walls: Collingwood OC-28, Accent Wall: Van Courtland Blue HC-145
The Mudroom below is from HGTV Dream Home 2016
Paint Colors from Glidden Paint: Wall: Opal Silk Green & Trim: Swan White
This beautiful color and design makes the room feel more like an entryway ~ great design idea by Designer, Brian Patrick Flynn.
My simple real life truth ~
My mudroom is tiny, it shares an entry way into the house from the garage plus the washer and dryer, so my space is super limited.
I painted it the same wall and trim color as the foyer Benjamin Moore Bruton White CW710 & Trim: Super White.
So that when the door is open it doesn't call attention to itself.
I simply purchased a sturdy metal shelving unit and assembled it. Then added hooks for coats, a flea market stool, some baskets to hide what's in them and that's about all the room I have!
The vertical storage really works in a tight space.
It's Wednesday! Have a great rest of your week!! ~ Nancy

|Julian engineers gravity (at Explora!)
Of the 263 museum projects recently awarded support by IMLS, 25 explicitly mentioned STEM or STEAM in their summaries; many more implied a focus on science. Described as "engaging," "dynamic and hands-on" and including computer science, proposals came from nearly every type of museum: aquarium, arboretum, children's, cultural-ethnic, history, natural history, science, university, and zoo.
In spite of all this talk and IMLS project focus on STEM, engineering gets little actual attention in museums. I have yet to hear discussions among exhibit developers, designers, and educators about engineering thinking skills, optimizing solutions, and adjustments to subsystems as they plan experiences. Assumed to be as represented in STEM as science and technology, engineering's actual presence in museums and science centers is light. For younger children, say 10 years and under, the absence of engineering experiences is especially noticeable. Yes, there are contraptions and roller coasters and exhibits with pulleys and other simple machines. In many of these experiences, children are trying, practicing, acquiring, and building on engineering thinking.
Whether it is an image problem or simple confusion, engineering doesn't seem to be well understood. Less about following blueprints (hardhats and operating trains), engineering is about transforming our world. It is solving real problems elegantly that satisfy constraints such as cost, weight, size, reliability, safety, ergonomics, repairability, etc. William A. Wulf of the National Association of Engineering defines engineering as, "design under constraint" where constraints are the laws of physics, materials, and physical space.
I am cautious, however, when we refer to children as "natural" or "little" engineers." Typically that shifts credit from what children are doing competently as agents of their own learning to conferring legitimacy because they are like "real" engineers. We veer towards encouraging children to be more like engineers rather than seeing what they are doing and understanding how they readily make physical and conceptual connections all the time. This is rich information, indeed, for creating experiences that build on and encourage their engineering thinking and making it visible to them, educators, their parents and researchers.
Focusing on Early Engineering Thinking
Approaching this area from another perspective are 4 studies (below) at the intersection of human developmental science and engineering education. Set in early childhood classrooms and museum settings, they explore engineering thinking among young children as young as 3 and 4 years to build consensus on "developmental engineering" and precursors of engineering behavior.
An inclination to conflate content with learning lures us into thinking that if we simply put out blocks, contraptions, and ball runs we will meet our engineering learning goals for children. Their natural aptitude for engineering thinking, however, is just a starting place, and fortunately a very strong one. The four studies suggest where museum educators, developers, and designers, and floor staff will find direction and cues to shape activities, add materials, extend explorations and optimize what young children are already doing through their explorations. They provide insights and guidance into how we might get beyond over-used questions such as, "Can you do that another way?" Or invite us to think about how me might encourage children to pay attention to the points of failure in their structures because we ourselves are paying attention to them. In short, these studies point the way to making children's engineering thinking visible to them, educators, their parents and researchers. Four insights seem particularly helpful in sharpening our understanding of children's engineering thinking.
Early engineering is fueled by children's self-motivation and interests. Children are motivated to satisfy their needs and wants in modifying their world–perhaps more than youth and adults. Compelled to investigate their own questions, they are likely to discover other interesting questions to explore along the way. Children set self-imposed challenges and incorporate additional goals to accomplish, such as using all the blocks. They add additional context to their activity such as naming or labeling their structures.
Developmental factors inform children's engineering thinking and acting. Evidence of developmental forces at play is strong and pervasive. The closely related domains that are characteristic of early childhood are apparent in the importance of first-hand experiences and manipulative objects and artifacts as vehicles of active engineering thinking and activity as well as in the natural interdisciplinary nature of children's questions, strategies, and the addition of context. Children also readily embrace the social domain to enlist the help of others in getting their designs to work. Through collaboration they invite others' ideas, knowledge, and capabilities, offer advice, and give encouragement.
Engineering thinking occurs through play. Children engage with engineering ideas and engineering activities through both child-directed and curriculum-structured play. Through play, they develop an understanding of material properties and the laws of physics that govern them, the constraints Wulf highlights. Often children engage in creative problem solving that involves balancing multiple constraints to achieve an appropriate solution in their play, whether they are constructing a bridge, building a ball run, investigating spatial relationships, or transforming one object into another.

'I Must Punish You'
|Russian soldiers patrol a suburb of the Chechen capital, Grozny, March 21, 2003. The destruction of Chechnya has left many bitter and seeking revenge (Photo: Yuri Kochetkov/AFP-Getty Images).
The road slowly meanders down to the Vvedeno Valley. At a certain point, I catch myself thinking I have been catapulted into the past: It was the same kind of sunny day in the summer of 1996 when we first came here.
In the first war, Russian troops had heavily fortified checkpoints at each village, and, in order to get past them, I had to disguise myself and go on foot through Vvedeno. Buses were hardly ever let through.
Now it was all being repeated—even the bullet-ridden signs with the crooked Russian letters "OMON: Don't Shoot" were still hanging on the gates [OMON was the acronym for the police special forces]. Beyond them, visible through the trees, was a remote little village.
Outside the house nearest the edge of town were some pleasant-looking elderly Caucasian people sitting on a bench. Each of them clutched walking sticks covered with intricate carvings. The Chechens who were accompanying me embarked on a long exchange of news with the old folks. Somehow, all the men in the village began to emerge and stream toward them from every direction. They greeted us politely and silently and squatted on the ground nearby. Suddenly, somebody recognized me.
"I remember you, you came looking for a soldier in the first war." The old man gave the name of the village and the field commander. It was all true. After that, it was as if they forgot about me. Half an hour later, a young woman appeared, the woman whom I had come there to meet. The conversations died away. I got out my camera.
"No, you can't," said the same gentle old man who had recognized me. "Or else you'll talk for a while, and then forget about us again." We walked away from the old men, and I gazed into the eyes of the young woman. I understood that I had driven for a week all over Chechnya essentially only to have a look into those eyes. And perhaps ask only one question.
People began to think about female suicide bombers after Nord-Ost [the hostage crisis in a Moscow theater on Dubrovka Street in October 2002 that began during a performance of the musical Nord-Ost—WPR]. The whole world saw the young women in black outfits. A terrorist act committed by young female mountain villagers was clearly a deliberate public relations move by the Chechen resistance. In the end, there were hundreds of asphyxiated people and broken black-clad bodies in the foreground. The Chechens were publicly executed by Russian forces as a visible lesson to terrorists, as if to say, "You kamikazes came to die, well, take this." All of this was brought home to Russians on their TV screens.
Women committed terrorist acts in Russia even before the hostage drama at Dubrovka. But people began to talk of it as a "phenomenon" and as "the Palestinian option" when these "black widows" killed more than 200 people within six months. It became obvious that these Chechen women had declared war on us—all of us, including infants, old people, and the disabled. And we began to think about it, and journalists began to look for them to ask why these girls were suddenly deciding to kill themselves.
But that isn't a secret. Asya Gilshurkaeva, a Nord-Ost suicide bomber, lost two husbands during two wars, and her 13-year-old brother was taken away in the middle of the night by soldiers and is still "missing." Aishat and Hadishat Ganiev (who were also at Nord-Ost) lost two brothers in bomb attacks, and their older sister, Fatima, also disappeared without a trace. Once, soldiers arrested them at night and then released them four days later. What was done with them isn't known—the women do not talk about it, but when they disappeared the next time, they were seen again only when their bodies were found in the Dubrovka Street theater. Zulihan Yelihodzhaev was detained by the Russian military twice before she committed the terrorist act at the rock concert at the Tushino airfield in Moscow [in early July 2003].
In two wars, Zarema Muzhuhoeva lost almost her entire family. Leaving her young daughter with her grandmother, she headed off to Moscow to blow up a restaurant on Tverskaya Street. And so on. All of the more than 20 suicide bombers who have blown themselves up since 2000—the year when a 10th-grader named Fatima began the war of the black widows—have had very similar fates. That is why it is strange to read the revelations of the security services that claim these women took drugs or were mentally retarded and were recruited to become suicide bombers.
I was not in this remote village looking for Malika to hear the usual chronology of a nightmare. I wanted to understand what all of us had to prepare for. That is why we had traveled through one village after another, trying to find the threads that would lead us here to mountainous Chechnya, where women, who are the source of life, are turned into women-bombs delivering death.
It is frightening to be in Chechnya at night. You lie awake, listening to every sound beyond the gates. They come to pick up people at night—they leave the cars outside the village; anonymous people with black kerchiefs over their faces (like cowboys in Hollywood) steal up to houses and abduct the owners. They used to take only men; now there are women, too. That's how it was with Malika. She grew up without a father. There were only women in her home—a mother and two younger sisters. Once, in early July, they woke up to find masked, armed people groping around their house.
Malika was taken away because she did not remain silent. As her mother told the story, Malika tried to shame one of the intruders who was stealing her younger sister's CD player. She was taken away and then released a few days later. She didn't talk about it, but then several days later, a "nephew" came and took her away.
I couldn't sleep, listening hard to each rustling noise. We had to wait until our hosts fell asleep, and then we would leave. There were girls in the room—they
didn't look to be more than 20 years old. The exception was a young man clearly no more than 30. That was their "nephew." For the most part, he was silent, attentively following the conversation. One of the girls agreed to be taped on video, but only with her back to the camera.
She described how she looked on as two of her friends were murdered. They had once fought on the side of [Dzhokhar] Dudayev, the president of Chechnya during the first war, and then they had supposedly laid down their arms. The young men were pressured to join the "special forces" of [Akhmad] Kadyrov, [Moscow's handpicked leader who was recently elected president of Chechnya]. When they refused, they were killed in broad daylight in a Dagestani village. "I would go myself, but I'm not ready yet," said one of them, when asked about the black widows. "What would it mean to be ready?" I asked. "It would mean not to be afraid anymore," she said.
In this village, which is hardly in the mountains and situated in a district that is considered "loyal" to the authorities, a 15-year-old girl is being "trained." "Training" consists of late-night conversations under the watchful eye of a nephew. At a certain point they decide the future terrorist is ready, and they send her into the mountains. "They go to one of Khattab's camps." [Ibn-ul-Khattab is the alias of a warlord said to be a Jordanian Chechen who was killed in 2002.—WPR] "They say he was killed, but his camps are still operating. There, they read the Quran and learn how to handle weapons. After that, they become so calm." This was the nephew and mentor who was talking.
I look at the nephew and for some reason it seems to me that there is mockery hidden in his eyes. We talk with the girls for a long time, almost the entire night. They are pretty much typical young people, polite in the Caucasian manner. And they probably have not told me anything new.
Our newspapers have been writing regularly for a long time about all the horrors of their lives; about how an entire generation has grown up in the war; how these young people have not known any other way of life. On the whole, we've known all this for a long time. Except for one thing—that these young people, most of whose eyes shine with intelligence, have been spending several hours discussing how to arrange a public bombing, how to kill themselves and take with them as many civilians as possible. Just like in the Japanese "quality circles," each one tries to give an account of how she would be most effective—in dying. That is exactly how it was. And in the shadows sits a silent nephew, listening, listening, and listening.
The Vvedeno hunting preserve was created in 1963, comprising almost 45,000 hectares of virgin forest. Only the top bosses would come here to hunt in the Soviet era. For more ordinary people, along the valley of the Khua Khulim River, numerous tourist spots and vacation homes have been built. The Shatoi reserve adjoins the Vvedeno reserve: It is more than 20,000 hectares of impenetrable forest. You can drive around the perimeter of these reserves in about half a day, but you could spend months lost in them. You can fight the people who have settled there only with air power, helicopters, and heavy artillery.
The Olympic skiing facility, built in the 1970s on Lake Kezenoi-Am, is located at an altitude of almost 2,000 meters. This facility could be captured, but it would be impossible to hold it while surrounded by an enemy population. As far as I know, it is now in relatively good condition: The sun shines brightly on Lake Kezenoi-Am during most of the winter, and you can live safely and comfortably there.
The air force has essentially stopped bothering the Chechen fighters—people armed with antiaircraft weapons obtained from the Russians who guard the flight paths approaching the periphery of the area. The ancient Mi helicopters and the Sukhoi bombers often cannot even make their way through the heavy cloud cover. Not to mention that the only effective way to attack these targets would be through carpet-bombing with depth charges (and that would eat up the air force budget in a week). The only road into the area has long ago been destroyed.
It would be suicide to go in there on a tank. Mountain peaks surround the lake and protect it. To wage a firefight against it effectively, you would have
to drag cannon up to these nearby snowy peaks.
Lake Kezenoi-Am is only one example of the natural fortresses in the area. There are also the famous Bamut caves—four tunnels dug out ages ago, 20 meters deep, with interconnecting passages. That was even before the war. What has been dug since in the "soft" Andi mountain ridge is hard to imagine. All of this is what makes up these famous "Khattab camps" where Malika is supposed to go. And while she is waiting for someone to guide her there, she is living in the little mountain village. She isn't yet a suicide bomber, but she has already passed through the selection process. And according to the nephews, Malika will have a choice after she passes through the course in the mountains. But I doubt it.
Today, the suicide bomber is the most effective weapon of the Chechen fighters. These are the ones who are called the "Wahabbists," those who, in the grander scheme of things, have not laid down their arms and who in Chechnya are feared no less than the Kadyrov henchmen. This is especially felt in such villages as Yermolovka or Komsomolskoye—people crushed between two horrors. But the fighters have the better "image"—they do not conduct "cleansings," the security sweeps performed by the Russians and Kadyrov's people.
That's why the young girls go to their side. That's why all Chechens believe it is their duty to hide them; it is a new secret weapon.
Malika is truly calm. To be sure, she is still far from the prescribed "enlightenment." Moreover, even from her clothing it's obvious that she does not adhere to any radical Islamist tendencies.
Now it was time for my question. "Malika, you're going to commit murder after all. What if a completely innocent infant winds up being killed by your bomb?" It is only at this moment that Malika lifts her eyes to look at me. "Then it means it is predestined."
"Then, probably everything that has happened to you is predestined also."
"Yes, I have to punish them."
"Who are they?"
The girl looked me in the eyes and spoke clearly: "All of you."
At first, it felt like a slap in the face.
I kept trying to talk to the girl, asking about the extent of her religious belief, what her training consisted of, who would teach her and where. Malika was reluctant to answer.
Only several days later did I understand that she had in fact answered my main question: Why she had made up her mind not only to commit suicide but also to murder innocent people.
We are all innocent only in our own personal understanding. Just as Malika considered herself absolutely innocent when soldiers broke into her home, took her away, and raped her.
Thousands of such Chechens, not guilty of anything, are subjected now for the 10th year [since the beginning of the first Chechen war in 1994] to such collective responsibility for the fact that politicians could not agree among themselves. And in the end, some of them, those that had undergone particularly brutal punishment, decided that all of us, to the last one, must also bear such collective responsibility for the fact that we did not protect, for example, Malika. That is how she thinks.
This is just what we were taught in our literature classes in school. It is what those who are customarily called "the conscience of the nation" have said and are continuing to say—writers, scientists, and philosophers. It is what the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran say. It is a well-known truth: The most terrible criminal is the one who looks silently on as a crime is committed before his eyes.
Is that why Malika is coming to kill us? She believes that for this most terrible crime—silence—we must pay.
"Will the world be saved through bloodshed?" I ask.
She doesn't answer the question.

It can be so disheartening when your child becomes so angry that you can't find a way to simply calm them down or find the triggers that are making them so angry. It can erupt at any time making the whole household a boiling pot of oil…..leaving you treading on egg shells hoping it doesn't happen.
It's trying to work out the triggers for these angry outbursts. The anger can become habit forming as they become more and more frequent, it's easier to feel angry than to face up to real cause.
Children respond with anger because they feel helpless. To understand why one child becomes more angry than other children takes some time and effort. What triggered the outburst? The thing to realise is that our anger is generally a reaction to frustration. In children, however, anger appears to be a more generic emotion. It can be triggered by embarrassment, loneliness, isolation, anxiety, and hurt. Children often respond with anger to these types of situations because they feel helpless to understand the situation fully, and helpless to change it. In a way, their anger is a response to frustration as well.
A child who is especially defiant may be behaving this way to counteract dependency and fears of loss. A child who feels hurt by a loss may become angry as a way to avoid feeling sad and powerless. While anger is not the best emotion to feel in all cases, it might be easier to feel than some of these other, more painful emotions.
It is important to remember that anger is not the same thing as aggression. Anger is a feeling, while aggression is a behaviour. Anger is a temporary emotional state caused by frustration; aggression is often an attempt to hurt a person or to destroy property. Explain that anger is OK, aggression is not. Teach other ways to vent frustration without acting in hurtful or damaging ways.
Here are some tips:
- Comment on your child's behaviour when it is good.
- Something like, "I like the way you handled your brother when he took your stuff." An observant and involved parent can find dozens of things they like about their child's behaviour…"I like the way you come in for dinner without being reminded"; "I appreciate your hanging up your clothes even though you were in a hurry to get out to play"; "You were really patient while I was on the phone"; "I'm glad you shared your snack with your sister"; "I like the way you're able to think of others"; and "Thank you for telling the truth about what really happened."
- Teachers can do the same, offering, "I know it was difficult for you to wait your turn, and I'm pleased that you could do it"; "Thanks for sitting in your seat quietly"; "You were thoughtful in offering to help your friend with his spelling"; "You worked hard on that project, and I admire your effort."
- Ignore inappropriate behaviour that you can tolerate.
- Nagging you while you're on the phone can be dealt with by praising what you liked ("Thank you for waiting while I was talking on the phone. I'm off the phone now, so what's up?") and ignoring what you don't like (ignoring a child's requests while you are on the phone).
- You may be thinking, "They yell louder and you have to answer them just to have some quiet." When you respond this way, you reinforce them for yelling. Yelling gets your attention, so next time they will yell louder to make sure you respond. They aren't trying to annoy you, only using what they have found to be an effective way to get attention.
- Say "NO" clearly and firmly as needed. Limits should be explained clearly and enforced consistently. Of course, you won't say "no" all the time; when you decide to bend the rules and say yes, explain why that moment is appropriate. Knowing when it is acceptable to break the rules is just as important as knowing when it is not.
- Provide physical outlets and exercise, both at home and at school.
- Forest school or cutting wood, play a sport, work out at the gym… do something that spends our energy. Kids need physical activity to let off steam too. Keep in mind that you can allow this without risking your safety or the child's. Let them stomp around their room, knowing full well if they make it messy, they WILL clean it up, but no stomping in the living room.
- Also keep in mind that hugs can often make strong emotions less difficult for a child. You don't hug to make the anger go away though; hug to let the child know you understand their anger and that you take it seriously.
- Take an interest in your child's activities.
- Attention and pride can often make negative emotions easier to deal with. Failures and frustrations often mean less when a child knows their parent loves them and is proud of them for others things they do and know. Encourage children to see their strengths as well as their weaknesses. Help them to see that they can reach their goals.
- Recognise failures and setbacks part and parcel of life. Sometimes children do aggressive or destructive things when frustrated by difficult tasks, like studying and homework. Parents can move in, acknowledge the difficulty of the task and the feelings of frustration or failure it causes, and offer help. It may make the task easier, or it may make the emotions easier to tolerate. Praise the child for their efforts even when it is difficult.
- Use humour. Teasing or kidding can often defuse an angry situation and allow a child to "save face." Don't use humour to ridicule your child; use it to make fun of the situation. Something like, "I know you are mad at that little girl/boy/brother/sister for calling you names. Especially such stupid names (giggle).
- Use several parenting methods
- While spanking/hitting won't help and I personally don't condone (what message does that give our children, it's alright to hit out?!), other physical interventions might. Sometimes a child can't stop once a tantrum has begun, and physically removing the child from the scene or intervening isn't a type of punishment. It's a way to help your child stop their behaviour long enough to gain some control over it.
- Use bargaining as needed. We often control our own behaviour by doing this. "After a day like this, I deserve a really good meal" may help us curb our own temper when needed. This is not the same as bribery or blackmail. Know what your child likes and what is important enough to your child to serve as a good motivator to manage their anger.
- Use modelling. Parents and teachers should be aware of the powerful influence of their actions on a child's or group's behaviour. If you curse when angry, don't be surprised when a child does. If you count to ten when angry, don't be surprised if your child follows this good example too.
Learning how to deal with anger is a life skill that they take with them in the future.
Good discipline includes setting limits, but being flexible when needed. It means explaining the rules and sticking to them in a neutral way. Handling angry children means understanding why they are angry and responding appropriately, setting your own anger aside as much as possible. Bad discipline involves punishment which is unduly harsh and unpredictably meted out. Sarcasm and ridicule also go along with bad discipline.
One of the most important things you do as a parent, teacher, or other adult in a child's life is help them respect themselves and others so they can be happy in the world. While it takes years of practice, it is a vital process that pays off. Teaching your young child to manage anger and talk about feelings can prevent many angry outbursts in teenage years ahead, in their adult relationships, and in their own relationships with their children.
Let's raise good well rounded children, who know what behaviour is required to get them success, and live the life they deserve.
Hope these tips help.

Love and Warmth.

Factoring is an age-old practice that helps to keep cash-flow within a business consistent and reliable. In short, factoring is a financial service that provides businesses the opportunity to raise working capital and increase their cash flow without incurring debt. Companies sell their invoices (accounts receivable) to the factoring company at a discount and, in turn, the factoring company collects on the invoices.
Considering the fact that many business owners spend a large portion of their time chasing payments from clients, factoring can save them plenty of time and make it possible for them to collect the payment that is due to them pretty much immediately. This also means reduced stress for the business owner as he or she will be able to pay his/her expenses on time and without concern.
What Is Factoring Receivables?
Factoring receivables is the act of selling the accounts receivable for working capital purposes. The business owner will receive an advance from the factoring company. Once the invoice has been paid in full and collected by the factoring company, the company then pays the business owner the remaining 20% (less a fee).
Factoring has been used by businesses since ancient times, but it has become more popular recently as more and more businesses look for ways to bridge the gap between the time a company issues an invoice to a customer, and the time that the customer takes to pay that invoice. Factoring is an alternative to traditional bank loans and high-interest merchant cash advances.
There are hundreds of factoring companies in the USA. Luckily, when looking for one that you can count on, Factoring Company Guide is here to help. Whether you need a factoring company in Virginia or Utah, Illinois or Texas, we have got the information right you need.

The Dallas Cowboys are all about flash and style, and this past offseason one of Jerry Jones' goals was to add a few players who would bring that. The owner feels he did that with bringing in Felix Jones in the draft and making a deal for troubled CB Adam "Pacman" Jones, both of which could see some time at the wide out spot.
ProFootballTalk.com is reporting that both players may see time as pass catchers this season, giving Tony Romo more weapons at his disposal to go along with stud WR Terrell Owens. "I'm very comfortable with it," said Felix Jones. "Right now, they're just getting me introduced to it. They're just showing me some of the things that I can do in the future." You know if they are working on it now, they will work on it and use it during the season.
As far as Pacman goes, getting him the ball in open space is not a bad idea whatsoever. He showed in his limited time he was able to play with the Titans and if you can get him the ball, he can take advantage of getting out and using his talent to take it to the house. Look for the Cowboys to tweak using both players a lot during the 2008 season as pass catchers as well as at RB and cornerback. The play of Jones and Jones will increase even more Cowboys fans desire to buy Super Bowl tickets early in 2008.
And speaking of Super Bowl tickets, here at Cowboys Gab we're proud to officially endorse RazorGator as our recommended resource for Super Bowl Tickets, as well as Dallas Cowboys tickets for all the big matchups in 08.

Make a difference in a family's life this Christmas season! The Catholic Charities Adopt-A-Family program has been helping the Colorado community for over a decade, matching compassionate donors like you with low-income and struggling families. With your help, we can provide holiday gifts to seniors, children and families who otherwise would have none. Recipient families receive services through our various ministries and are nominated by the Catholic Charities staff person who works with them on a regular basis. Thank you for helping provide hope this Christmas season! Questions? Call 720-799-9316 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Two ways to give:
1. Sign up to Adopt-A-Family and shop for their Christmas needs.
Marina Diakite is grateful that they receive presents such as a remote-control helicopter, a complete set of art supplies, an electric pencil sharpener, and warm clothes.
"I love waching my children open presents," diakite said. "I'm just so grateful. It's a joy in my heart."
Her family is one of several hundred families in need identified through Catholic Charities' Adopt-A-Family Christmas program who are paired with other families who anonymously provide clothing, household items and toys. Many of the families are homeless or the working poor.
Diakite said she would buy presents, if she could. Her low-paying jobs barely cover the living costs for their Section 8 home in Aurora. For years they bounced from shelter to shelter after Diakite left the children's father who struggled with alcohol abuse.
"We want to do something so bad in return," Diakite said. "We pray and we thank God for allowing that family to give us."
2. Don't have time to shop? We'll shop for you! Make a financial gift and we'll do the shopping for you! All of the donations will be used to provide holiday gifts to seniors, children and families who would otherwise have none.
