Helping You Get to a Brighter Tomorrow
We all have our plans and expectations for how our lives should go. What happens when life throws you that unexpected curve? It can take a great deal of courage to find your way. It's much easier with a coach who's been there and is ready to guide you. No one wants to admit they need help, but how long do you want to suffer? There's no shame in hiring a coach. In fact, that act alone demonstrates your courage, and your confidence in yourself. I've experienced a number of life crisis moments, and I've worked with coaches who have helped me summon my resilience, resourcefulness, and optimism. Because of them, I'm now in a position to help you.
Life has handed me more challenges than I ever expected. I'm proud (and relieved) to say my children and I have found our way and become stronger and closer for it. We can handle anything if we maintain our optimism and resourcefulness. That's where the value of a coach is truly evident.
Areas in which I can help you:
• Finding a New Direction for Yourself
• The Journey to Start a Family (Miscarriage/Birth/Adoption)
• Divorce and its Impact on You and Your Children
• Easing Parental Stress (learning disabilities/ADHD, unexpected medical issues, family relationships, first jobs, driver's license, and college bound)
I commit to provide a coaching atmosphere of encouragement and support. I will honor your strength and resilience even in those moments when you feel like it doesn't exist. I know it does, and I will hold that space for you until it returns. And, yes, it will return and with it will come new perspectives, ideas, and answers.
Call 978-808-0102 now to schedule your complimentary clarity session.
In this one-hour session, we will start to get to know each other and I can learn about your goals and desired outcomes. From there, I will outline a plan for helping you accomplish your goals. If it feels right to you, we will move forward. You decide.

Can long distance relationships really work? What happens when you're in a serious relationship and one of you have to go out of town for work or for any other reason for a really long time? Or you're in love with someone, who lives in another city or country? How would you keep the romance, the spark, the magic of love alive? Ever thought of that? It does take a lot of effort but with a little dedication and planning you can keep the long distance relationship and the love for each other vibrant and blooming. Though, there are a lot of conflicts in such relationships, yet here are the benefits of long distance relationships. You can expect that special someone in your life looking forward to your return with nothing but open arms.
1. Be Creative
A long distance relationship shouldn't stop you from getting creative! Sometimes its nice to be creative for your partner. For that, you need to come up with ideas of your own. Giving meaningful gifts doesn't always mean buying expensive gift items. Mostly it's the thought that really counts. Whatever present you gift to your special person shows how much you know and care about that person. Write a short note or notes for your love and tuck them in different envelopes with dates on them for each day so that when you're not around they can see the note, which can bring a smile on their faces.
2. Make Silly Calendars
You can either buy or make calendars with your pictures on them taken by you or your friends with little notes on them. It can be your special days just in case you're not around for those days. You can also add a little lollipop or a gift item like a pair of earrings or a pendant or a box of the favorite chocolates or a pair of cufflink or hosiery to it. You can draw little sketches too on the calendars to make them look a little artsy.
3. Cds and Videos
You've known your partner for long now and all of a sudden you're trapped in this long distance relationship. But, you're so in love that even this long distance relationship is worth every time and penny. You're wracking your brains about what to send that special someone that would not only make the day but would make the person want to be with you FOREVER. It's simple! Make a cd of all the favorite songs of that person including the songs of all the special moments you've spent together. You could make a video of all the pictures of the moments you had together, include a song in the background and send through mail or courier.
4. Message in a Bottle
This is the cutest way to make the special person in your life feel really special. Get hold of his or her favorite perfume bottle or a favorite wine bottle or any favorite alcohol bottle that is empty. Or, if you want any designer bottle, stuff it with toffees and streamers or paper cuttings or mints or small chocolates and put in a note that you've written out for that special tinkle. Then cover the top with a bow or a ribbon and pack it nicely with bubble wrap so that it doesn't undergo any damage, when being sent.
5. Personalize a Novel on Your Relationship
Yes! This is infact real. Write out a book on you and your man or woman being the stars of the book. Start from how it all began and you'll see the magic it does to you and to your chosen out of the ordinary person. You can either choose from the exotic locations or plots for your novel from the site or put in your own. This will be a romantic gift from your loved one cause he or she will know what and how much you mean to that person.
Distance cannot harm or hinder the bond between two people in love. If you believe in yourself and your respected partner in crime, love and the beautiful relationship that you both share, then it truly is worth holding on to irrespective of the miles that separate the two love birds.

Perhaps the reason I love Christmas so much is because of my Mother. She made Christmas special at our house. The house was always decorated, Christmas music was always playing and the house always had many of the wonderful smells of cookies and candy. Mom made everything from scratch and taught me how to make many of the family favorites. Of course, I have brought a few of my own recipes to add to the tradition.
So, now as I am trying to finish the preparations for Christmas, my mind wanders back to some of my favorite memories...and I have already written about a few of them:
- An Elk City Christmas
- A Special Delivery - Revisited
- Christmas Flair
- The Old Stereo
- A Red Poinsettia
- O Holy Night
- Christmas Catalogs

Stoltmann Law Offices, P.C. is investigating recent reports that James T. Booth, of Norwalk, Connecticut, was terminated from LPL Financial on June 26, 2019 for stealing upwards of $1 million from his clients. On July 1, 2019, Booth consented to a lifetime ban from the securities industry after FINRA investigated information provided to it by LPL established that Booth converted – or stole – $1 million from clients by depositing the funds into personal accounts for his own use. According to the FINRA Acceptance Waiver and Consent (AWC), Booth committed these egregious acts from approximately April 2014 to May 2019. If you or someone you know was victimized by Booth, you should contact Stoltmann Law Offices to discuss your legal options.
According to FINRA, Booth's spree occurred while he was registered with Invest Financial Corporation and then LPL Financial. Depending on when an investor's funds were actually converted by Booth, either Investment Financial or LPL Financial could be held responsible for this misconduct. In almost every case where a financial advisor like Booth converts or steals client money, there are various red flags and compliance failures that facilitate the theft. For example, in some cases, financial advisors will arrange for transfers of funds from a client account to a third party account, like an LLC or some outside business, from which the advisor then steals the money. In other cases, the advisor asks the clients to write a check or wire funds to either the advisor to a company he owns. In any instance, the brokerage firm's knowledge of what their agent is up to is a phone call away. Part of a compliance department's responsibility to supervise their agents includes making contact with clients directly to make sure they are satisfied with how their accounts are being managed and to inquire with them about their experience. It does not take a brilliant compliance examiner to figure out that a broker has been stealing money from clients for upwards of five years, like Booth.
FINRA Rules and securities industry regulations require brokerage firms like Invest Financial and LPL Financial to supervise their financial advisors. The foundation for this obligation to supervise to found in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which states:

…AKA Roxy, is a reporter for The Hollywood Reporter. He also happens to be one of my favorite people to hang out with whenever KB works a film festival abroad.
Why do I love hanging out with Roxy? Because he loves to drink. But also because he somehow manages to be honest, clever, and hilarious all at the same time.
Here's a perfect example of that in action, live on Germany's international broadcast network Deutsche Welle, right after Roxy attended the Fifty Shades of Grey premiere at the Berlinale in Berlin last week.
It's been less than a week and I miss him already,
…we will be back from spending ten days in Berlin…
…and four days in Istanbul.
Hence, the painfully long delay in updates here on "The Blarg."
That delay is over as of today.
Stay tuned,
…including these two prints by Berlin artist Dirk Verschure…

…this Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog print by Austin-based artist(s) We Call Ourselves An Institute…

Needless to say, our walls are quickly filling up.
Fifty (give or take) more pieces to go,

I forgot to post this back in February, when it happened.
Ain't no meat, fruit or cheese that good,
She was visiting from Singapore along with her friend Sally, who is from Taiwan.
I was sitting at a table working (i.e. drinking) alone; Eve and Sally were sitting at the table beside me. I remember being impressed with them because, even though they are both very petite women, they were chugging down one-liter beers like pros.
We struck up a conversation, and I soon ditched my table to join theirs. Shortly after that, our waiter took a seat with us and joined in the conversation. Our table was the United Nations of beer-drinking! We were four strangers from four different countries, quickly becoming friends over two things almost everyone can agree on: beer and sausage.
I shot this photo of our unlikely group of new friends:
Eventually, Eve and Sally had to leave (they were leaving for Paris the next day), and our waiter had to get back to work (or go drink with some other customers), but before we went our separate ways I gave my info to each of them and said, "If you're ever in L.A. let's get a drink."
Last week, Eve came to Los Angeles! We quickly picked up where we had left off two months earlier: at a bar over beers.
It was great seeing her again, and I look forward to drinking with her in a new country soon. As long as Eve is there, any country/beer will do.
Got a place to stay in Singapore now,
…I don't think I'd enter the bar in Berlin that has this scary painting on its door.
I guess they've been warned,
Apparently, Vanilla Ice is now so desperate that he comes out and performs every time someone orders a brownie at this restaurant in Berlin.

Autumn is my favorite season. What's yours? The crisp foggy mornings, warm days with the fog rolling back in again, the colors of the leaves and my roses blooming. I love wearing sweaters, boots, baking and creating in my kitchen with the sunlight pouring through the windows. Not to mention it's another excuse to heat up a cup of coffee. Today I'm sharing a free fall printable along with all the reasons I love fall. And my coffee time fall favorites.
Coffee lovers, pumpkin lovers I know it's been a long wait for Starbucks Pumpkin Latte season. It's finally here. What's not to love about sipping your favorite beverages while working, taking care of the kids or relaxing? Honestly, I never need an excuse to enjoy coffee or everything that fall brings.
On crisp autumn days I love crafting, canning and practically live in my kitchen. It's the heart of my home. You'll even find me listening to Sammie read me her Spanish lessons. We often have chats about school, what projects we'd like to try, what I need to get done along with scheduling. Fall has made our lives full in more ways than one.
Coffee Time
Fall Favorites A Season To Love
Coffee Time
Coffees To Good To Pass Up!
On weekends we enjoy watching movies together. My most requested cookie that I bake is our favorite snickerdoodle cookies. A perfect treat for when we watch a movie. I also enjoy brewing coffee to go with them. One of my annual favorites has been Starbucks Fall Blend. Have you ever tried it? You might remember when I shared it last year in this post which also has a fall free printable bucket list. (The new printable is below)
One of the reasons I love the fall blend is all the complexity, smoothness and flavors. It's a must try if you have never had it.The flavors change just slightly each year. The coffee beans are from Sumatra, Kenya and Peru. This always make me super excited to try what this years coffee beans will taste like.
As a blogger, crafter and mom I have plenty of time to enjoy coffee while I work at home. I enjoy having a cup when I do things like creating my fall wreaths and working on diy projects. The day I received my box of goodies to try Sammie and I were going to work on a print making project.
After picking Sammie up from school that day, we had a little mom and me time. I made the instant Via Pumpkin Latte, pulled out the things for our project and had a play date before homework. I must admit that is one of the perks of having a teen, oh and the Via Instant Latte.
Did you know Starbucks came out with a new instant pumpkin latte? We didn't even have to go grab a cup of coffee. In a matter minutes it was ready. Heat up hot water, stir in and if you like top with whip cream. I also love adding cinnamon on top. Seriously, in minutes we had our savor moment. Oh, yum! The flavors of the pumpkin spice latte have of cinnamon, nutmeg and pumpkin. Fall in a cup!
Of course every day isn't as perfect. That is life. But, I'll take those perfect days, fall tastes and bookmark them in my mind. Do you have autumn days that you just savor? Be sure to grab a few in photos. They tend to fly by!

Kevin V. Hunt
Scouting Historian, Author and Speaker, Scouting Veteran, Camp Director
One of my previous blogs introduced the Fun, Adventure and Romance of Scouting. In that blog I quoted one of my BYU Professors who liked to discourse on this Subject. "Adventure," he said, "Is when you do something for the first time. "Fun" is when you repeat the adventure and still enjoy it. And "Romance" is the Spirit of Scouting, the classy experiences that tie you to the program. Romance keeps you coming back for more fun and adventure." I decided to write about a recent activity that I participated in with my wife and youngest daughter. One could say that it was "all in the name of high adventure".
Our adventure began the day after Christmas. My wife and I were both off of school for a couple of weeks. We left our home in sunny Arizona (65 degrees) and headed through Utah and Idaho to take our youngest daughter, Larissa, up to attend college at BYU-Idaho. I don't know if taking the daughter to college was an adventure or fun by the above definition. It was not the first time for such an event. She was the seventh child that we have sent off to college. And we have sent off the same number of missionaries. And I might add that it doesn't get any easier sending the kids off – even with the numbers. (As a side note: one son graduated from Dixie College in St. George, one son graduated from Ferris State University in Michigan – and four daughters maintained a very strong tradition as they all followed their mother to Snow College. Another son also attended college – but he went to Arizona State University close to home. Four children have B.S. degrees and two daughters have A.S. degrees – so far.)
The adventure came more because of the weather. It was kind of crazy for an old Arizona desert rat. In another previous blog, I shared information about the Crazy Arizona Weather. You might enjoy reading that blog if you haven't already – so you'll know where we were coming from. December weather in Arizona is usually pretty nice and this year was no exception. And while we were enjoying our winter, we sought out the extended weather report for Utah and Idaho. My wife was very meticulous in this task – almost to obsession. She checked all of the possible routes – including Highway 89 which we generally prefer (through Flagstaff and Jacob Lake).
Our trip to Utah and Idaho soon grew into an adventure. I am not sure that it would be classed as fun – and I am certain that it wasn't romance. It wasn't fun – doing something for the first time – and it was not an adventure that was still fun. But, we pressed on. We were able to go up our chosen route and got to see our son and his wife and children in St. George en route for a couple of days. The trip on to Salt Lake City was pretty pleasant and "normal". The snow that hit with a vengeance on Christmas Day had kind of stabilized – though we saw results of it everywhere we went (including in Flagstaff and Jacob Lake) but the roads were still passable and okay.
The true adventure (if that is what you would call it) came as we traveled in the darkness on Interstate 15 toward Idaho Falls (where we would stay with a daughter and her family). As we pulled into Idaho Falls early that night we saw the snow banks everywhere and rejoiced that the roads were still clear. And we were in complete shock as the temperature was a chilly seven degrees. We survived the trip and made it safely to our daughter's home. We were glad that they had reserved us a space for our car in their garage – since we wondered if our Arizona car would survive otherwise.
As we traveled the freeway toward Idaho Falls that night, Lou and I (almost simultaneously) both began to remember back to a former day – and a true winter high adventure – or a couple of them – along the same route. And both of these were Scouting adventures. (I don't know what happens to the "adventure" when "high" is added to it. Does that talk of altitude or added exhilaration in the adventure?)
Anyway, the first winter high adventure outing happened just three months after Lou and I were married (back in the dark ages). In those days the Lake Bonneville Council (Now Trapper Trails) sponsored a winter high adventure "super activity" up at West Yellowstone (Montana). This was for Explorers or Venturers and even Varsity scouts. Traditionally, this was staged on the days following Christmas and through New Year's Day. And with the Scouts, there was often room for some adults to join the party. So, Lou and I were able to tag along for the ride.
Again, my journal records the details of that high adventure trip:
December 27th,
… We continued north through wind and snowy roads to West Yellowstone Park. We will be snowmobiling from here tomorrow. Delose Conner – the Camp Loll Director – and his staff were already there – after riding all day today. We spent the night in the "Three Bears Lodge". (I had served with Delose as his Assistant Camp Director that summer – a few months before – so I knew all of these Camp Loll staffers and they were my friends, too. We had a wedding to attend yesterday or we would have been on the machines with them today.)
December 28th
We ate breakfast this morning at the "Three Bears Restaurant". At 9:00 Am we met in the parking lot and were assigned our snowmobiles. We were dressed in three or four layers of clothing – including a snow suit. We wore knitted face masks – plus a sock cap. We also had our own gloves inside the large mittens which were given to us. LouDene and I rode together on machine #157 – a Pantera – made by Arctic Cat.
We could only take driving for a short time so had to keep switching places. It was at this time right at 50 degrees below zero – when accounting for the "wind chill factor". [I am surprised that we could still be alive in that kind of weather.] While on the back, our hands could get relatively warm (but that is an interesting statement).
We saw two herds of buffalo, many elk herds and a very large bull elk. The trees and everything was snow-covered and the sky was overcast. We stopped at Madison Junction for a few minutes to warm up at the fire and to use the restrooms. We continued onto Old Faithful in Yellowstone Park. We saw the Old Faithful geyser spout off steam and water. We stayed in the lodge for nearly two hours warming up and eating out box lunch. A girl from post 97 (in my Mt. Ogden Scouting District) had back problems to this delayed us. The post advisor and I knelt in the corner and gave her a priesthood blessing. She improved greatly and rode back on the snow transport.
Lou Dene was driving the machine and hit a bump wrong. The machine dumped us in the snow and then kept going for about 40 feet. It ran into a tree and dented the front grill on the machine and broke the front windshield.
We didn't get back until after dark. We enjoyed the trip – despite the cold. We traveled a total of 60 miles by the machines. It was quite the trip. It was ONLY 10 degrees below zero when we returned. We were happy to go to bed at 8:30 PM after eating dinner in the lodge.
December 29th
The temperature this morning was 51 degrees below zero. Our truck would not start because our battery and gas lines were frozen for a few hours. [And this was the case for probably every vehicle in town. So, the mode of the few automotive places in town was to tow vehicles to their garages and where they could sit for a while to warm up. Such was the case with us. We had to wait our turn to get towed.] So, we stayed in the motel room for a few hours. LouDene watched TV and I read a few chapters from 1 Chronicles. We just about froze ourselves each time we went outside. Finally Tim Chamberlain, of the council staff, towed the truck to the service station with the council van.
The men at the station were slower than molasses so they didn't get the truck going until about 7:00 PM. They put it in the garage – which warmed up the oil, gas lines, etc. and connected an electric battery charger to it and then it started right up. [So, then we had a choice to make. It really was too late to be starting a long trip – in the snow – toward Ogden. But, if we stayed overnight, then we would likely face the same kind of day tomorrow. We finally opted to go for it. So, we ate dinner and then departed south – even though it was late and was still snowing. We drove to the home of Lou's sister in Pocatello and spent the night – although they were gone at the time.
As if that trip was not enough high adventure we decided to make the trip two winters later. (Probably gluttons for punishment – but we did it.) This time I recruited or invited volunteers from my Mt. Ogden District to join us on the adventure. And many folks were intrigued and signed up to go with us. Again the journal details the adventure:
December 30th
LouDene and I and our daughters – Jackie, a 15-month old toddler, and Jenae, a 1-month old new-born – left Ogden at 7:00 AM and met Ron Smith, Bill, Clara and Larry Larsen, Russ Myers – with his wife, Barbara, sister Laura and LeDeen Bartshchi – at the 31st Street freeway entrance. We caravanned together to West Yellowstone, Montana. Tim Chamberlain (formerly on the Ogden Scout staff) rode with us as far as Idaho Falls. It was fun to talk to Tim again. He is always an interesting talker. He drove a lease car to Ogden and needed a ride back to his current home in Idaho. We ate lunch in Idaho Falls. We arrived in West Yellowstone about 2:00 PM. We got checked into the "3 Bear Lodge" motel. Others of our district met us there and they included Wade and Eulalia Combe and their son, Robert, and daughter, Jana, Rich Ordyna and his wife, Phil and Dionne Halverson, and Wyatt and Karen Pectol. We all plan to go snowmobiling tomorrow.
We ate a nice meal at the lodge restaurant. We then had an orientation meeting and then had the rest of the evening free. Lou and I watched a movie – called "The Mating Season". The movie had a couple of bad inferences but was basically pretty good. All of the time we watched the movie we tried to get the girls to sleep. Jackie thought that there was too much action for sleeping and Jenae was quite sick and had trouble breathing because of her cold. I gave her a priesthood blessing in hopes that this would help her to rest better.
There is hardly any snow here and the temperature is warm – not at all like the trip we made just two years ago. That trip was a real joke – with snow everywhere and 50 degree below zero weather.
December 31st
We ate breakfast at 7:00 this morning. After an hour or so we were ready to head out on the snowmobiles. It took a few minutes to warm them up and then we headed out for the day. LouDene stayed at the motel with the girls since we didn't have anyone to leave them with. I rode with a kid named Rob Godfrey. He just returned from a mission to Japan and is on the trip as an adult with the boys from the Ogden 55th Ward (also from my district). There was an add number of people in each of our groups so they had us go together. Ray Chase, of the council staff, was the guide on our trip.
We headed south with Two Top Mountain as our destination. We traveled all morning making occasional rest stops. Rob and I traded off driving throughout the day and it worked out quite well. We visited along the way also. He was a sharp kid. [I say "kid" but I was only age 26 then myself.]
We stopped for a box lunch at Idaho Big Springs Resort. Several people from Morgan – including Bob Peterson, Jerry Betournay and Larry Newton were there. We then went to Two Top Mountain. The trip was beautiful. They let us go on our own for a half hour or so. Rob and I went up and down the mountain several times. He was a good driver so could go quite fast. We did hit a small tree and were worried that we had damaged the machine. We were very lucky and didn't hurt it at all – since any damage that we did we'd have to pay for ourselves.
From Two Top we could see about 200 miles in each direction. The Teton Peaks were visible to the South were really beautiful. The snow had banked and froze around the trees and this was also beautiful. We could not have had better weather. It was sunny and very warm. I didn't even have to wear gloves most of the day. (This was markedly different from the last time we were here.) All in all, the trip was really super.
We got back to the Three Bear Lodge about 6:00 Pm after traveling about 75 miles. Lou and I and the girls then headed over for dinner at the restaurant. And since it was New Year's Eve, we decided to have a little party with everyone who came with us. We went to the conference room in the Tipi Lodge. Everyone but the Larsens came for a while. We played "Aggravation" and "Uno". I spent some district funds and bought all kinds of crackers, cookies, candy and pop. We all ate until we could eat no more. We managed to stay until about 10:45 PM. Everyone was too tired to go until the new year.
January 1st,
We ate breakfast at the Three Bear Restaurant and said goodbye to everyone. We then packed and made preparations to head for home. We decided to again travel with Russ Myers and his three-woman harem. The drive south was beautiful. We saw Two Top Mountain where we went yesterday. The sky was clear and blue until Malad where we hit dense fog. We had bad fog until Ogden. We could hardly see in places. We arrived home about 4:00 Pm. We really enjoyed our trip. It was fun! I was glad that we went up there. (But I felt miserable with an aching back – from my snowmobiling, a splitting headache, and a cold – so we went to bed at the unheard of hour of 8:15 PM.
Wow! Those trips were real "high adventure". They truly were!
I close this blog with a high adventure story from my own mother – and which I have often quoted. Dad always took me and my four brothers (and sometimes the two sisters) up deer hunting. We went in Utah and in Arizona – often in the same trip. And our Hunt family hunted in the same grounds – south and a bit west of Enterprise, Utah for 6 generations and 45 years. (I just went along for the marshmallow roast but those were grand times!) Anyway, this one year as we headed to Utah, the weather was projected to be really bad – and it kind of was. We had this neighbor lady who had nothing else to do but worry about what was going on with the Hunt family across the street. And so, as we were gone, she would come over every few minutes to visit with my mom – and each time would give her an updated and even worse weather report – adding the thought, "What if they …" Finally my mother needed to silence her. She called her by name and said, "Mrs. L., if they didn't think that something like that MIGHT POSSIBLY HAPPEN TO THEM, they wouldn't have gone at all." My mother had vision. And she was a super Scout mom too! And she looked good flying those five miniature Eagle pins in flight formation on her shirt!
Oh, and we did make it back from our recent adventure trip (or whatever it was) from Idaho. We did have to leave a day or two earlier – because my wife learned about the projected snow that was coming. We had snow in Idaho and clouds in Utah – but the roads were clear. And we were successful in getting our daughter up to College. Larissa is used to adventures – even Scouting adventures. She was on staff with us at the Jack Nicol Cub Scout Camp in Colorado and literally flew out from the camp for her mission to Minnesota (where she had an adventure with the snow, ice and cold). She spent this past summer with us at Scout Camp New Fork in Wyoming – as our climbing director and It was Quite the Summer at Camp New Fork 2016. And so now, she begins her own new adventure … and maybe some fun … and who knows … maybe some romance (but she is in bit of a panic about that first kiss)! And this time we – now just Lou and I – did return home via Las Vegas – since snow really was projected for Flagstaff and Jacob Lake. It was not surprising but wonderful that we came home to beautiful blue skies. (Kind of rough … but I guess someone has to do it!)
Ah, the "fun, adventure, and romance of Scouting!" Yes, … Scouting high adventure! The opportunities are endless! Let's get all that we can! It can really put the "high" in Scouting for all of us!
Best wishes on your own Scouting [high adventure] trails …

Egypt: Morsi backers defy cops with fresh rallies
Islamist backers of Egypt's deposed president Mohamed Morsi staged defiant rallies Friday, with police firing tear gas at demonstrators, after the government ordered their protest camps to be broken up.world Updated: Aug 03, 2013 02:12 IST
Islamist backers of Egypt's deposed president Mohamed Morsi staged defiant rallies Friday, with police firing tear gas at demonstrators, after the government ordered their protest camps to be broken up.
The new marches came after US secretary of state John Kerry angered Morsi loyalists by saying said Egypt's military had been "restoring democracy" when it deposed the Islamist leader.
Meanwhile, world powers pressed both sides to resolve the impasse peacefully, with US Under Secretary of State William Burns expected in Cairo on Friday night for more talks.
Morsi supporters began to march after Friday prayers, pouring out of several Cairo mosques.
The afternoon rallies passed off peacefully, with demonstrators marching along main thoroughfares in the capital.
Early evening, they held several smaller demonstrations, including by Cairo's Media Production City in the city's outskirts, where security forces fired tear gas after protesters "tried to storm" the building, a security source told AFP.
Protesters tore up the pavement to make barriers as police in armoured vehicles fired barrages of tear gas, an AFP correspondent said.
"I am a Muslim, not a terrorist," demonstrators chanted.
Eyewitnesses also reported clashes between residents in the Alf Maskan area and Morsi loyalists after they tried to set up a protest site.
The Anti-Coup Alliance of groups calling for Morsi's reinstatement said it planned to make Alf Maskan a new sit-in site.
It also announced Friday evening marches to four security buildings in Cairo, including two army headquarters.
The marches came a day after Kerry in an interview with Pakistan's Geo television appeared to defend Morsi's ouster.
"The military was asked to intervene by millions and millions of people, all of whom were afraid of a descendance into chaos, into violence," he said.
"And the military did not take over, to the best of our judgement -- so far. To run the country, there's a civilian government. In effect, they were restoring democracy," he added.
A spokesman for Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood denounced Kerry's comments, accusing Washington of being "complicit" in the coup.
"Is it the job of the army to restore democracy?" asked Gehad al-Haddad in a statement.
Morsi's supporters have remained defiant in the face of mounting threats from the army-installed interim government.
On Thursday, the interior ministry urged those at protest sites in Rabaa al-Adawiya and Nahda squares "to let reason and the national interest prevail, and to quickly leave".
The ministry pledged "a safe exit and full protection to whomever responds to this appeal".
The state-owned Al-Ahram newspaper, quoting police sources, reported that police had prepared a plan to end the sit-ins, but had not decided when to implement it, with the cabinet still hoping for a peaceful resolution.
The stand-off has raised fears of new violence. More than 250 people have been killed since Morsi's ouster.
Diplomatic efforts to avoid further bloodshed have gathered pace.
Kerry said Friday that Egypt should "get back to a new normal" and a senior Egyptian official said US envoy Burns would arrive in Cairo for talks.
The visit comes on the heels of trips by the European Union's Middle East envoy Bernardino Leon and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.
A senior member of the Freedom and Justice Party, the political arm of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, said the European envoys had asked them to end their sit-ins.
Speaking after meeting Brotherhood representatives, Westerwelle warned that the situation was "very explosive" and reiterated a call for a "peaceful solution."
Morsi has been formally remanded in custody on suspicion of offences when he broke out of prison during the 2011 revolt that toppled former president Hosni Mubarak.
Prosecutors have also referred three top Muslim Brotherhood leaders, including supreme guide Mohamed Badie, for prosecution of allegations of inciting the deaths of demonstrators.
Morsi was detained hours after the coup and is being held at an undisclosed location, where his family has been unable to see him.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton met Morsi on Tuesday, later telling reporters he was "well".
Qatar, a staunch backer of Morsi's presidency, announced meanwhile that it had shipped a consignment of liquified natural gas to Egypt, in the first gesture of its kind since Morsi was deposed.

Ready to go from the inside out to the summer, have prepared a windbreaker, shirt, dress, just wait for the temperature to rise on a sunny day to wear the door to experience the comfort and relaxation after taking off the heavy. At this time, don't forget to change your underwear with a new one. The chest will feel more relaxed and adjust yourself more beautifully.
Although most of the time the girls will always mention the chest in a private topic, it is not a good way to get bigger and bigger is to worry about how to look less full. If the external expansion of the breast milk becomes a problem you pay more attention to, the adjustment bra will help you to slowly solve it slowly, and the pink lace mesh that you like is full of spring.
When the dress sings the winter tribute, all the exclamations and appreciations are gathered on it. When the Victorian angels walked on the colorful T-stage to show the world the beauty of underwear, the bra also has a proud appearance. Adjustable bra without rims, each embroidery tells the exquisite beauty.
As the most intimate clothing that directly shows the charm of the body, the bra not only finds support for the chest, but also reflects the inner world of a girl from the side. Purple mesh is a faint feeling, both cute and sexy. The adjustment side is better than the height of the lifting fat.
The year is spring, it is the beginning, it is better to be yourself. Decompressing yourself from underwear is a good way to say goodbye to the past. No steel ring is not pressed, and one-piece molding guarantees maximum comfort. The deep V squat is fixed with the mountain shoulder strap, and the lifting arm is never displaced.
Although there is nothing wrong with the solid color, many girls feel that they can't be so monotonous and instead choose to rush into the printing tide. The same style is replaced by a colorful contrast stitching print, which is as lively as summer. Lace is still the same, the adjustment design has become the protagonist.
Everything that is reminiscent of a small woman is related to pink and lace. The white lace of the girl's department is as full of pure charm as Lolita, and the black lace is like a gothic night flower in the silence. It is still an adjustment type, but it is beautifully adjusted.
Most of the glossy bras are full of calm and self-sustaining colors, such as black skin, the warmest is just rose and cream apricot. Candy Green instantly focused his attention from the stunned to himself, not too interesting, but only such ingenuity can get an invitation to participate in the spring banquet in the blossoms.
Whenever you are afraid of walking, it is always an important issue that the sisters are worried about during the season when the clothes are getting thinner. The tube top bra came into being, from the bright and colorful color system to the almost invisible cream ash and apricot.

Looks like things are going to heat up very soon in Assetto Corsa. After the team outlined plans for the game at the end of 2016, Marco Massarutto has taken to his usual role on his Facebook page, and has once again begun teasing a wealth of upcoming content for the racer.
Previously confirmed late last summer, much of the teased machinery is unlikely to come as a surprise to many, but are welcomed sights all the same. Beginning things off is the 925 kg (2,039 lbs) Lotus 3-Eleven that we suspect will be a part of the 'British Car Pack" confirmed earlier this year.
Powered by a 3.5-liter supercharged V6 engine sending over 400 horses to the rear wheels, the Lotus will prove to be quite a capable track car with enough "giddy-up" to make short work of the competition. Moving on reveals the likes of the Mazda 787B, Miata NA, Toyota Celica GT-FOUR, TS040 Hybrid, and the Audi R8 LMS, TT-RS Race Car, Sport Quattro E1 S2, and R18 e-tron quattro.
Next up is the mid-engine Porsche 911 RSR racers are still patiently awaiting. While originally expected to release some time last month to coincide with its on-track debut, the machine has since been delayed with no firm release date marked on the calendar.
The good news is after recently showing up in a number of teaser videos, the RSR's eventual release may not be far behind. The good news doesn't end there, as Marco continued teasing upcoming content with the sleek hood of a familiar marque:
If you're unable to tell, this looks to suggest that the classic Ferrari 250 GTO is also on its way to the game. This lines up perfectly with the team's plan to celebrate Ferrari's 70th anniversary with the release of a new car pack featuring 7 of the most iconic and famous Prancing Horse models in Assetto Corsa.
What a year this is already shaping up to be for the racer, and who knows what else the team is waiting to reveal when the time is right. Keep an eye on GTPlanet for more.

Exciting News!
I just found out that my first film of the 12 Films project, "Mystery Box", has been accepted into the San Diego Film Festival! It's going to be part of the San Diego Shorts series and will be screened twice alongside several other short films from local filmmakers. I'm seriously stoked! This is the first time I've ever had a film shown in a festival so I have no idea what to expect.
The festival runs from September 25 – 28 down at the Gaslamp theater in downtown San Diego. They'll announce the film line-up and schedule at the beginning of September. Event and day passes are already available for purchase, but individual film tickets (for instance, if you just wanted to come to see "Mystery Box" and the other San Diego shorts) won't be on sale until September 15; and when they do go on sale, they'll be $10. For any info on the festival and to order tickets, check out their website here.
I'm planning on attending both screenings so if you come down, be sure to say hi. I hope you to see you down there!

All The Films In One Place
As this project continues and as I post more here on the site, I realize that it's not always easy to find all of the completed films and watch them without doing some digging around. So, in the interest of an easy viewing experience, I've added a new page to house all of the completed films in one place.
No Really, They're Official…
Ok, so in the spirit of strange and wonderful organized sports I give you two official organized sports organizations:
First of all, I can only imagine what was going through the heads of the originators of Unicycle Hockey…
"Hey guys, you wanna play some hockey?"
"But we don't have any ice-skates!"
"No problem, we've got unicycles!"
"Of course!"
Second, I give you the official USA Rock Paper Scissors League. Here's the thrilling $50,000 2007 Championship bout:
(ht to Carrie via email)
What It Is
So what is 12 Films in 12 Months all about? In short, it's about two things: storytelling and motivation. But first, a little back-story: I got hooked on making movies nine years ago when I started learning to edit while volunteering in a middle school ministry at my church. I just couldn't get enough of it. I changed my major in college and studied visual arts and filmmaking. When I finished college I was hired at my current job as a media and graphic designer; creating all sorts of presentations, design work, and videos for the events that we produce.
So this is where the "12 films" project comes in. It's not a replacement for my job. Rather it's a chance for me to tell my own stories with no assumptions; no preconceived intention as to who is going to be viewing it and what story it should tell. It's also a practice in discipline. It's all too easy for me to have an idea of a project I'd like to do and then put it off endlessly, spending my time and energy elsewhere. Well, now I feel like I not only have accountability (in you, the reader and subscriber of this blog); but also a series of hard deadlines, namely the last day of each month.
And I get excited thinking about each one of the upcoming months because I love movies. I love watching them and I love making them. I love it when they move me, entertain me, amuse me, teach me, and challenge me. I love deep, insightful films as much as I love fun, seat-of-your-pants thrilling films. I don't even mind a summertime popcorn-munching blockbuster, as long as it's a good ride with decent writing and memorable characters.
As far as my own movies go, I can't promise that every short film I make over the next year is going to be an award winner. But that's not really the point. I'm doing this to learn, grow, have fun, push myself and make movies that I like. Yes, I'd love to produce some good films that people enjoy watching; and hopefully my films will get better as the year goes on. But really, I'm more excited about the process at this point and telling good stories well, than about trying to produce my "one great film" or "breakthrough film" or whatever.
And that process is why I'm blogging the whole thing. I want to share my experience and I want your feedback, comments, suggestions, and thoughts along the way. So thanks for being with me here at the beginning. Please stick around and join me for this crazy year of filmmaking.

Düşüş // Madrit
In January 2013, spent a little over a month as an artist in residence at MataderoMadrid as part of the project HereTogetherNow, trying to piece together the fragments of a fallen monument.
The work in question was placed awkwardly on Legazpi Square, immediately outside of Matadero and covered with some custom fitted fabric. "It's always been like that" I was told. No, it was not an artistic intervention, but a consequence of the supposedly lingering lawsuit between its restorers and the municipality. Some claimed that the cover was in fact protecting the fragile work, others guessed that it was veiling a controversial historic figure.
The suspiciously varying explanations led me to start an investigation in the neighborhood with the help of a Spanish speaking assistant and a sound recorder. The interviews we conducted were later shown as a sound installation in at MataderoMadrid during the public presentation of the residency. There were eight sound stations marked with the eight questions we asked in the interviews; the edited replies looped in each station. The questions were designed to generate answers that would resonate around the issues of memory and the built environment as well as individual or collective desire in relation to the treatment of public space. This site specific installation also began to discuss the very possibility of public space.
Across from the sound installation, a brief but extremely confusing history in progress of the fallen monument, la Gloria y Los Pegasos, was laid out. It included a timeline, some images, and many articles from newspapers and magazines. In the middle, between the sound installation and the history, were two items that project the work into the future.
Special thanks to MataderoMadrid, Miguel Angel Rego and Icaro Maiterena

How To Support Women's Health On Giving Tuesday
With the frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales mercifully dying down, it's time to turn to the more thoughtful part of the holiday season: it's time for Giving Tuesday. If you're not familiar with Giving Tuesday, it's an international campaign promoting charitable donations. "We want you to do good stuff for your favorite charity or cause on #GivingTuesday," their website says. "Here's how it works: on the day you can choose to support any charity you want in any way you want. You can choose one of our partners to support, or you can pick a totally different organization — it's up to you."
It's not about setting strict guidelines — it's just about encouraging you to support charity in a way that feels right to you. But, with the attacks on women's health care that have been raining down during the Trump administration, it's a great time to support women's health. From the Global Gage Rule to restrictions to birth control, women have felt the consequences of this administration both at home and abroad. If you want to support women's health this Giving Tuesday, there are plenty of options.
Some involve donating money, some involve savvy shopping, and some involve tweeting to your favorite dating app. Giving Tuesday is about giving to whatever group or cause speaks to you, and if you're looking to give back to women's health, here's a good place to start.
1. With A Great Deal From Unbound
Unbound is one of the hottest, fiercest, feminist adult destinations on the internet— and they're offering a killer deal that gives back in a real way. Eight female-founded companies have donated their amazing products to create a bundle worth $215 but is available for $99— and 100 percent of the profits will go to a charity. They've picked out three of their favorite charities that help women: Planned Parenthood, She's the First, and The Girl Project. One lucky purchaser will decide where the money goes. Oh, and the beauty, wellness, and sex products are all top notch. You can purchase the box here.
2. Tweet To Tinder
Tinder has teamed up with DoSomething.org, a global non-profit organization that motivates young people to take action about causes close to them. So whether it's women's health or another cause you're passionate about, this is a super easy way to give back on Giving Tuesday. Tinder will be donating $100 per person (up to $200,000) to those who post #imavailable to @Tinder on any of their social sites. Just select "Join Us" in the app for more info.
3. Help Dame Help RAINN
Throughout the weekend, Dame, a sex toy company, donated $5 from every purchase to RAINN, a group dedicated to combating sexual violence, supporting victims, and working toward meaningful policy changes. And for Giving Tuesday, they're doubling their donation to 10 percent. With popular products like Eva, the non-intrusive clitoral stimulator, there's a lot to choose from while you give back.
4. Donate To Planned Parenthood In Mike Pence's Name
If you're looking for a way to support women's health and make a statement, donating to Planned Parenthood in Pence's name never gets old.
5. Support National Network of Abortion Funds
The National Network of Abortion Funds does exactly what it says — it funds abortions. With more and more abortion services being cut or legally challenged, this support is more integral to women's health than ever.
6. Support Bisexual Women Through Still Bisexual
Bisexual women are especially vulnerable, as studies have shown they are more likely to suffer from mental health issues than their lesbian or straight counterparts. Still Bisexual is an education and advocacy group for those who are attracted to more than one gender. If you want to give back to queer women's health, consider this great organization.
7. Donate To The National Women's Health Clinic
The National Women's Health Network is dedicated to improving women's health through using critical analysis of health issues to change policy. If you want to make a political statement while promoting women's health, they are a great option to give to this Giving Tuesday.
There are so many groups out there fighting for women's health, women's reproductive rights, and more. So do some research, find a group that speaks to you, and make Giving Tuesday a part of your holiday tradition.

Michael Meranze, in commenting on the previous post, noted that among the items vetoed by the governor was language that earmarked $10 million at UC for online ed courses. As readers will know, that earmark was in the budget bill at the request of the governor. Other quasi-earmarks were also vetoed. The actual language doesn't delete dollars from the UC budget – which is why I missed it in the prior post. It just deletes specifications for how dollars are to be used. The veto language reads:
For support of University of California. I revise this item by deleting Provisions 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16. I am deleting Provisions 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 because the requirements included in these provisions that the University of California expend funds for various purposes create cost pressures and unnecessary restrictions. Eliminating these earmarks will give the University greater flexibility to manage its resources to meet its obligations, operate its instructional programs more effectively, and avoid tuition and fee increases.
UPDATE: The Sacramento Bee Capitol Alert blog has the story at:
As it turns out, the governor conferred with UC president Yudof about his (the governor's) mercurial behavior concerning online ed. We have obtained a kind of transcript of the gubernatorial explanation:

On Saturday and Sunday, April 28-29, 2018, the Des Moines Symphony presented its sixth and final program of its Masterworks Subscription Series for 2017-2018. The first half of the concert consisted of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's production of Beyond the Score: Elgar's 'Enigma' Variations. This multimedia presentation combined actors, video, and the Symphony's live accompaniment to provide a context for Sir Edward Elgar's famous composition. After intermission, the Symphony played through this piece in full.
Elgar was an English composer who lived from 1857-1934. He composed the "Variations on an Original Theme, "Enigma", Op. 36, in 1899, and it had its first performance the same year in London under the baton of German conductor Hans Richter.
Elgar named each of the 14 variations for one of his friends, his wife, or himself. He used initials or nicknames to denote this attribution, as for example Variation I (C. A. E.) is named for his wife, Caroline Alice Elgar.
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) presented a total of 30 Beyond the Score Series productions over 11 seasons ending with the 2015-2016 season. The presentations continue to be offered by other symphonic organizations. For example, last April, the Des Moines Symphony presented Beyond the Score: Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique (here's my article about it).
This Beyond the Score presentation worked well to give the audience a sense of how each Elgar wrote each variation. It also gave a bit of historical context, describing where and how Elgar was living when he composed this work. It definitely whetted my appetite to hear the entire piece played by the musicians.
Watch this presentation by the CSO from a few years' back and see if you agree:
What is an "enigma" anyway?
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, an enigma is "something hard to understand or explain."
Elgar set up the final–and still unsolved–enigma of his composition when he stated:
"Furthermore, through and over the whole set another and larger theme goes but is not played…So the principal theme never appears, even as in some recent dramas–e.g., Masterlinck's L'Intruse and Les Sept Princesses–the chief character is never on stage."
Various theories have been put forth as to what could be this theme that is never played. A Dutch musicologist proposed that it might be the theme "Never never never" from the British tune Rule Britannica.
Despite the scholarly speculations, this is one enigma that will forever remain unbroken, as Elgar took his meaning to his grave. I, for one, am content to enjoy the themes that ARE played in his composition. This is a piece that moves quickly (it is only about 30 minutes long) and stirs the emotions with its melodies:
The Des Moines Symphony musicians did a fine job performing this piece. After a standing ovation, Maestro Joseph Giunta returned to the stage to conduct an encore of Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance, a tune familiar to many this graduation time of year. Less commonly heard is the march section preceding the well-known "processional."
Bravo to Conductor Giunta and the Symphony musicians for an excellent performance at their season finale concert!

If you haven't figure out already, I love menswear campaigns. The ads in the September issues are pretty much what I swoon over sometimes more than the spreads themselves. So imagine when yours truly got wind of the faces of the new Prada Fall/Winter campaign. Prada consistently pics an eclectic and fun mix of gents to face the brand.
You may remember me ranting on about Dane DeHaan's campaign as well as Toby Maguire's, but I must say I'm excited about the next batch of guys. Shot by photographer David Sims, the campaign is another homerun for the Italian fashion house. Check em out below!
1. Ben Whishaw- I'm going to refrain from swooning over him yet again (no eye-rolling please). I love everything about the first look. It's Luxe, dapper and yet a bit casual all in one. Ben looks smashing as always, but regretfully, I don't think I can see him as anyone else but Q from the Bond series. Even here (especially the second look) he looks like our favorite tinkerer ready for work.
2. Ezra Miller- The Perks star has been on a roll recently, and clearly Prada has noticed. I don't think I need to get into just how quirky Ezra is (For one he sits Indian style during interviews), so I won't. But I'm in love with both of his looks. I NEED that red leather jacket, the wool overcoat, and definitely the shoes. Prada does an amazing job of elevating classics and reinventing them for the modern man. Like the elevated platform on those oxfords.
3. Christopher Waltz- Out of the three gents here, Christopher definitely has the "cool" look down. The crew neck sweater and the red button up underneath does it for me. And then there's the suit, which is beyond drool worthy. This campaign, once again reminds of me of why I love Prada menswear so much.

April 5, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
22nd June 2011
Hillary Clinton's senior adviser for innovation told a conference organised by The Guardian newspaper that the internet has become "the Che Guevara of the 21st century".
Ross is reported as saying "dictatorships are now more vulnerable than ever" because of the ability of social media to empower and help organise disaffected citizens.
Ross said the internet was "wildly disruptive" during the protests in Egypt and Tunisia and that "dictatorships are now more vulnerable than they have ever been before, in part – but not entirely – because of the devolution of power from the nation state to the individual."
Ross said that the internet had "acted as an accelerant" in the Arab spring uprisings and "facilitated leaderless movements," making it the "Che Guevara of the 21st century".
However, he said it was a "bridge too far" to describe the Egyptian uprising as a "Facebook revolution".
So what do you think, is the internet a social revolutionary or a social tool for revolutionaries? Have your say below.

Salmon Swim Upstream in New River – of Cash
Portland, OR – The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is offering Native American tribes a windfall, but at what cost to the salmon population? BPA says it will give the tribes almost $1 billion, paid out over 10 years, if they will stop challenging the federal salmon management plan, known as a "Biological Opinion."
It means the tribes will have to back down on some of their long-held views about saving the endangered fish, in order to publicly support the federal plan. Three tribes reportedly are accepting the deal. Bill Shake, a former U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service assistant regional director, is surprised. He thinks it's an expensive way for BPA to maintain the status quo.
"The $1 billion that would go to the tribes would provide useful benefits, but we'd still have the same Biological Opinion, the same in-stream issue with downstream migration of juvenile salmon. If they can't survive, habitat restoration may be in vain."
Three of the four Lower Columbia Treaty tribes -- the Umatilla, Warm Springs, and Yakama tribal organizations -- are in favor of the deal; the Nez Perce Tribe has yet to decide. The tribes would use the additional funds to improve fish habitat and hatchery programs.
Shake notes that, as recently as January, the same tribes put their criticisms of the BiOp in writing, including insisting that more water be released over Columbia and Snake River dams, to help fish navigate them.
"They're pretty strongly worded comments. They don't believe that the measures, particularly with flow and spill, are adequate to provide benefits for salmon and steelhead."
A federal judge ruled the previous BiOp draft didn't do enough to save salmon, and a new plan will be released in about a month.
