This is shocking truth on why you don't get second dates.
How many women go out on first dates and have NO earthly idea why no second dates follow? From experience in my life and in my office, a big majority of them!
Women don't know what they do or don't do on those first dates that turn men off. From her point of view, these dates go so well! Lots of laughter, easy conversation, good feelings… it all adds up to a second date.
But instead… crickets.
Single women have been given so many "rules" when dating. It's insane and the RULES are insane! One of these dating rules is don't call a man back.
We are living in a time when we all have a phone on us practically 24/7. Immediate feedback loops and responsiveness are the norm. If you don't call back in a timely manner just for the sake of not calling back, he'll find someone who will. Slow responses indicate to him that you aren't interested.
Yes, having your own life is important. If you can't call back because you're busy, that's great. Men are happy when a woman has her own life. But if you're playing a cat and mouse game, he'll feel that energy. Men know when women are playing them.
Acting aloof to appear like a woman of high value in his eyes works initially. Men enjoy the chase. However, if the game goes on too long, the man will lose interest and seek a woman who is available.
Wouldn't it be sad if you lost out on someone special due to some silly set of dating rules? It's much better to be responsive and have the opportunity to see who this man is.
You may find that he's not meeting your needs and decide to reject him as your suitor. But that decision is up to you after dating and getting to know him, not because you didn't return a phone call.
Men want to be with women who are happy and who appreciate what they bring to the table. So, if you want him to call you for a second date, stop doing these 6 behaviors:
1. You change his plans.
If he made the effort to arrange a date or an outing, don't suggest something different. That's so disrespectful.
So many men tell me that women do this all the time. After choosing a special restaurant or what they thought would be a fun event, the woman shoots it down or says "how about we go to X instead?"
At the same time, I hear women say they're tired of polite men asking, "What do you want to do? Where do you want to go?"
What is more important? Is it more important that you eat that one meal at the restaurant you want? Or is it more important that he feels good that he did it right?
Build up his respectability by allowing him to be successful with you. Follow his plan. He'll be more likely to make another one.
If you were sitting at his dining room table, you probably wouldn't tell him you didn't like the salad. Don't do it now. When you tell him you don't like something, he feels personally responsible that he didn't take you to the right place.
Thank him. Focus on what you DO like. Use your other senses. The atmosphere is beautiful. The restaurant smells so good. You love the flowers on your table.
2. You don't give him "strokes."
Actually, all people need strokes, which are units of interpersonal recognition, to survive and thrive.
However, men rarely get them. We think they are ego-maniacs looking for strokes all the time, but it's because they don't get them as often as women do. We know this because women are more complimentary and physically affectionate with each other than men are.
"Thank you. I really appreciate all that you provided tonight." It's as easy as that.
3. You talk too much about your work.
Experiment with this on your next few first dates. Pay close attention to how the energy of each date changes as the conversation shifts to your job. The sexual tension will dissipate.
You may think this is sexist. However, biologically, men still have that innate desire to show that he can provide for you. Men, by and large, have to do good to feel good.
Harvard's international, cross-cultural study of over 10,000 people looking at human mating desires, as explained in David Buss's book The Evolution of Desire, found that two-thirds of men mate and marry for sensual and sexual security.
They want to come home to an oasis that looks good and smells good with a woman who is available to them, sexually and emotionally. The other one-third of men want to mate and marry for financial security and social status.
The exact inverse is true for women: two-thirds of women want to mate and marry for financial security and social status. The other one-third want to mate and marry for sensual and sexual security.
Either you want a man to take care of you and your feelings or you want to take care of him and his feelings. If you want the former, give him the space to do his peacock talk. Don't you do it. Keep the sexual polarity alive.
4. You take over his story.
Don't follow up his story with a story of your own when you did the same thing, only bigger and better. We have a mistaken belief that when we disclose, we are sharing the experience. Women are used to conversational exchange. However, men feel discounted, disregarded and disrespected.
Ask questions about his experience. What did you think about golfing at St. Andrew? What was the worst thing that happened? What was the best? Would you do it again?
He may ping-pong it back and ask you some questions. The important thing is to give him time to reveal his story. He wants to show you who he is.
In other words, if he's a contender, he's applying for the job of your husband. Telling stories about himself and what he does are his way of sliding his resume across the table to you, so you may determine if he is a deserving candidate for the role.
5. You don't really listen to him.
Stop multi-tasking when he's talking to you. It's SO disrespectful. Have you ever talked to a man who's watching TV? Yeah, he's not hearing you either. It feels rude to you, doesn't it? Well, he's thinking the same thing when he's talking to you and you're looking over the menu, scanning the restaurant or checking your phone (EXTRA rude!).
By the way, research has shown there is no such thing as multi-tasking. You can do multiple things shifting from one to another really quickly. But you are doing none of them as well as if you were doing them one at a time.
Listen without cutting him off. Do not finish his sentence because you "already know" what he's going to say. Do not rush to finish his thought for him. UGH!
Do not call in to question every opinion, idea, thought or suggestion he has. You may believe you have a different one that is smarter, better, more effective and efficient. But every time you challenge him, you take him down a notch.
6. You're not on the same page before consummating your relationship.
Whether it's for one night of fun or for a week of vacation while you're in Cabo, have an understanding between the two of you that's exactly what it is going in.
You may want to make a commitment that you don't want to consummate the relationship until you're ready to be socially and sexually monogamous, so you're able to see each other a couple of times a week and are heading towards a long-term relationship or marriage.
Whatever the agreement is, let it be known so that neither of you feel sucker-punched when the other person says, "I never said that's what I wanted."
The neuro-chemical tidal wave that comes with having sexual intercourse is too powerful to not talk ahead of time about your individual expectations. Have the discussion in the sober, light of day.
After reading these, perhaps you may find one or more ideas here that you have been doing or not doing. Or maybe you won't realize until you go on a few more first dates that you are guilty of cutting off men or talking about your work, because you think that what you do for work is fascinating.
That's ok. Until now, you didn't know.
Now you do know. What's important is what are you going to do next?
Here you have in your back pocket a guideline for future first dates. Be appreciative. Listen. Don't argue unnecessarily. Really, some of these are just common courtesy, no? We seem to have lost that along the way.

With the snow gently falling, today was the day I started taking down the decorations and breaking down my beloved trees. As as of 9 p.m., the three big trees and the six smaller ones are completely bare. Lights have been removed, ornaments wrapped and packed away, and other than two wreaths with snowmen on them (they aren't really Christmas decorations, are they?), the house is getting back to normal. Yes, I miss the twinkling lights and the tree in the living room that turns, but I have to admit once I packed away that last box, I could feel the weight being lifted.
I love, love, love Christmas and all the decorations, and after a hectic holiday with many, many guests, (some of whom had a nasty cold/sinus infection -myself included) it's sweet to sit in the recliner with the faithful dog nearby and just breath and relax...no company to feed, no board games and late nights, in fact, toast will be perfectly fine for breakfast in the morning. Hummm, in fact sleeping in later is sounding nice too.
Happy Thursday!!

Here's a helpful guide to the newest, loveliest bridal lingerie from the Spring '08 collections:
Princesse Tam Tam Guepiere: This cotton/silk blend bustier with attached garter straps is perfect if you need a little bit of structure under your gown. Unlike so many synthetic merrywidows, it is soft and supple, and the flexible boning provides just the right amount of support without digging into your ribcage. Pairs well with the Vintage Silk Crocheted Stockings and Georgette Bikini, pictured above.
Araks Lily Teddy: For the unconventional bride, a vintage-inspired teddy that hugs your curves in all the right places might do the trick. The sheer cotton crepe in white is supremely virginal, but the shape couldn't be sexier!
Stella McCartney Grace Waking Bra and Boyshort: Romantics at heart will fall in love with this silk/lace set that I've blogged about extensively.
Dessous Alice Cami: The most versatile cami for layering, it is not only a perfect option for the casual bride on her wedding night, but will translate well into the honeymoon wardrobe.
Vera Wang Silk Chiffon Cami and Tap Pant: This sheer and sexy set has a bit of stretch to allow for comfortable sleeping. The Ivory is very quintessentially bridal, but I'm partial to the Dove Grey color.
Bodas Cotton Mousseline Chemise: This sweet little cotton chemise is the perfect summer nightie, and definitely fits the bill for an innocent look, though the sheerness makes it much more interesting.
Araks Justina Gown: Silk and cotton blend harmoniously on this elegant chemise by Araks. Fans of the incredible Ivana/Karin/Petra set will recognize the shape of the bodice, which fits like a dream.

Video game makes HIV awareness fun
Like many video games aimed at teenagers, Pamoja Mtaani features a thumping hip-hop soundtrack and vivid street imagery. Where it differs from other action games, such as the Grand Theft Auto series, is its goal: HIV prevention.
Developed in a collaboration between media giant Warner Brothers and the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Pamoja Mtaani is being deployed in youth centres in Nairobi, Kenya, with the goal of encouraging teens to practice safer sex and know the risk of acquiring HIV.
Already 3000 teens have played Pamoja Mtaani – or "Together in the 'Hood" – since its launch in December 2008, and a team of researchers at Emory University in Atlanta is conducting a study to determine whether the game is actually effective.
Through surveys of players and people in communities where the game is available, researchers will determine whether teens that play Pamoja Mtaani are more aware of risky sexual behaviour and more likely to practice safe sex, than those who don't play.
"The game can only do so much. The goal was to raise risk perception, but to keep it fun," says Grace Osewe, who is leading the project for PEPFAR.
Low-key message
The slickly produced game opens with an animation of bus-hijacking in which five young strangers each get robbed of something valuable. Their mission is to scour the streets of Nairobi looking for their goods, with help from a mystic figure named Mama Africa. Break-dancing and graffiti competitions help the players advance.
But what does this have to do with safe sex? Not much, for the most part.
The game developers, who spoke at the Games for Health conference last week in Boston, sought to avoid making a game with an overt message, for fear of losing the interest of their target audience.
In between graffiti contests, characters interact with each other – the game can be played by five people at once. It's during these conversations, relayed via transcripts or cinematic scenes, that players open up about their sex lives.
In one conversation, an aspiring musician, Lady D, talks with Judy, who hopes to become a doctor, about whether or not each knows their HIV status or uses condoms.
Life decisions
As the game develops, each character makes a decision to reduce their risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV – whether it be getting tested, staying abstinent, having fewer sexual partners, or using condoms regularly.
This is important, Osewe says, because many Kenyan teens have little sense of the risk of acquiring HIV. A 2007 survey found that 7.8 per cent of Kenyans were infected with the virus that causes AIDS.
Her team won't know whether Pamoja Mtaani is helping teens appreciate these risks until December, when a preliminary study should be complete. But, anecdotally, a number of players have said they've decided to get tested for HIV after playing, she says.

Travel in South-East Asia may seem to be wild and exotic – but it is certainly not the path less travelled. This classic book was first published in 1853 by 'Bengal Civilian' (Charles Walter Himloch) as De Zieke Reiziger ('The Invalid Traveller'), and is an account of the author and his wife's travels from Penang, to Singapore, and on to Java in 1852 – a time before guidebooks, travel agencies and package tours. And while the times may have changed, the adventure and everyday frustrations are still the same. The pair travel for medical reasons, to recover from an unspecified ailment. Their travels are not really that different from today, except that there is no guidebook, and travel is often horse powered instead of petrol. But the extended delays, at-times perilous sea journeys, even the ease of passage requiring letters of recommendation (i.e. knowing some who can smooth your journey) are all too common today.
Many observations captured in the book are still (perhaps arguably) relevant today. For example: "The community of Singapore … is a community of merchants, whose whole time and thoughts are absorbed in money making…", and "Dutch cooking … is disgusting", the standard of accommodation often questionable, and travel between town on Java often taking longs periods of time.
What does stand this book apart are the observations of Java at the time when it was a Dutch colony. The author clearly has disdain for the Dutch, their cleanliness, dress sense, and cuisine, but if the reader can see through this, the book becomes a simple observation of life in Java at a time when it was emerging from an exotic unknown to the country it is today.

Last chance to shape Islington Council's vision for Holloway prison!
Islington council have released their vision for the site, and we have until midnight on Monday to influence it.
The council's vision, as laid out in their draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), is a good start, but does not go far enough and gives too much priority to private profit for this public land.
The SPD is the guidance that developers will follow in planning applications for the land, it's not binding but does tell developers what they are expected to include if they want their application to be successful. The Council have released a draft of the guidance and are consulting on it - the responses they get will help shape a final version which the Council hopes to pass in the autumn.
Sadly, the SPD accepts the Ministry of Justice's (MoJ's) stance that the land should be sold off to the highest bidder and the cash used to build more prisons, which stifles their vision for what could be on the site. Selling off this land for quick cash is far from, as the MoJ say they want, "best value for the taxpayer". Keeping it in public hands would mean it is developed entirely with the community and public in mind, rather than for private profit, and that long term it would contribute to the public purse far more than an upfront sale.
Housing is a priority for the Council, they say they want at least 50% affordable housing on the site. But 30% of this would be shared ownership or London Living Rent - neither of which will help those in the most housing need nor are long term affordable options. A community led housing scheme on the site could mean 100% affordable housing, residents having more control over their homes, and that specific accommodation is created to support women who are trying to rebuild their lives after prison. The Council needs to prioritise community led housing schemes, rather than let half the homes on the site become luxury flats for investors.
The prison site has a complex and painful history, and this must be honoured. It is brilliant to see the SPD incorporate Reclaim Holloway's call for a Women's Building on the land, but again this doesn't go far enough. Many of the services, charities and volunteer groups who supported the women in Holloway prison are struggling to get funding and pay rent. They need to own and control the Women's Building to ensure they have secure futures, and they and the women who will use the building need to be involved with planning it right from the beginning.
And finally, every month that passes with the prison sat unused is a waste, and costing us thousands to keep it empty and secured. The Visitors' Centre is a fully kitted out community space that many local groups would hugely benefit from. The Council say the site should be opened up but there needs to be more urgency here, we want a policy on the site's meanwhile use created quickly, and a swift application process put in place.
There are only two more days to support what the Council begins, but to push them to go further. You can do this by emailing comments to email@example.com, or by filling in their survey here. The deadline is midnight on Monday 2nd October! You can also email Secretary of State for Justice David Lidington to tell him not to sell the land on the open market, at email@example.com.
Here's a summary of how Reclaim Holloway will be responding.
Islington Council's SPD (Supplementary Planning document) for the ten-acre Holloway Prison site accepts that the site must be sold to the highest bidder, and the returns used to fund additional prison spaces. This is the opposite of "best value for the taxpayer."
- Reclaim Holloway believes this valuable asset should remain in public hands. Other models of funding and ownership should be considered, and public ownership models encouraged and given priority in the bidding process.
- The SPD's current target of 50% genuinely affordable housing is unambitious. Community-led housing could potentially provide 100% genuinely affordable housing on the site, with greater long-term financial value than through a one-off sale.
- The site should include housing (including some supported options) for women affected by incarceration or disadvantaged in social circumstances which often lead to incarceration
- The legacy of the women's prison should be marked by a Women's Building to house organisations helping women who are in or at risk of falling into the criminal justice system
- The prison's visitors centre is empty and unused. The Ministry of Justice and Council should urgently work out a joint policy on temporary uses, and publicise how applications for meanwhile use will work.

In Washington D.C., allowing transit vehicles priority during a no-notice evacuation resulted in a 26 percent time saving for transit buses without impacting on personal vehicle travel time.
Results from research testing the effects of transit signal priority on evacuation clearance times for transit and personal vehicles.
May 2011
Washington,District of Columbia,United States
Summary Information
This case study of a no-notice evacuation examined the impact of allowing transit signal priority on the evacuation clearance time of transit vehicles and personal vehicles.
The study area was a 14-intersection corridor located in the Southeast corner of Central Washington, DC (NW 7th Street from SW E Street (South) to NW Pennsylvania Ave, West to NW 12 Street). The corridor encompasses a major metro station in the city (L'Enfant Plaza), and is one of the 19 major corridors designated as a primary evacuation route to assist in the evacuation process. The scenario was the detonation of a dirty bomb at L'Enfant Plaza, setting in motion the city's emergency evacuation response.
The methodology used a microscopic traffic simulation of an evacuation environment merged with a transit operations and signal priority component. The evacuation environment consisted of socio-economic data, census data and regional evacuation data, and the transit operations and signal priority component was built from data on street geometry, signal timing data, traffic counts and transit information (schedule, stop location, dwell time, etc.). These models generated an evacuation origin destination (O-D) matrix to create a realistic emergency evacuation traffic model with measures of effectiveness (MOE's) including travel time, evacuation clearance time, and delay time. The simulation network included 17 of the 34 bus lines within the borders of the study area. The bus lines not included were those that do not require priority (right hand turns only) or do not use more than one intersection within the study corridor.
Allowing transit signal priority during the evacuation resulted in a 26 percent time saving for transit buses, meaning that three prioritized vehicles accomplish the same as four would without priority. The 26 percent time savings enables more transit units to make additional trips, resulting in shorter evacuation times. The results also found that the time saving is achieved without having an impact on evacuation clearance times or evacuee travel times for non-transit vehicles. Moreover, when transit signal priority is restricted to operate only on evacuation routes, evacuee travel and delay time decreases (in contrast to previous studies that found transit priority results in delays to vehicular traffic during high roadway demand).

Three Years Since the big *SNAP*4 comments Posted by Ira at Saturday, October 24, 2009
There are few important moments in life that can be pinpointed to the minute. Births and deaths are the big two. Perhaps that's changed a bit with technology and time-stamping of digital photographs. A time-stamp allowed me to find the exact moment that my life changed -- 10/24/2006 @ 2:48PM. I was sitting at my desk at my old job (probably grimacing from some annoying web development task) and *snap* my $400 glasses from LensCrafters broke -- on my face.
As luck would have it, I had just received a package from Amazon with a new camera lens. What do you do when you get a new camera or lens? You take pictures. I would have taken pictures of all of the things around my office had something so spectacular and unusual not just happened on my face. As it was, one of the first photographs through that lens was this one (above).
I'm no narcissist. There aren't many photographs of me in existence. I'd argue that well over half of them appear in posts on this site showing-off the highs and lows of my online eyeglasses experiences. I'd much rather be behind the lens.
Anyway, with an empty bank account, a bit of ingenuity to buy me some time, and web browser I started doing my due diligence and research on these "online eyeglasses".
Another big thanks to Luxottica and LensCrafters for a poor design and ridiculous price-tag. Without that, none of this would exist.
Keep yours eyes open for some really big changes around here on the third anniversary of the site on November 10th.

The season of giving is upon us (at least that's what the fully-decked out Christmas tree displays at Target seem to be telling me).
I'm working on a video montage for a contest to get some free glasses to distribute to those in need -- and to help spread the word that no one needs to spend hundreds on eyeglasses. If you've gotten glasses from 39DollarGlasses and would like to help, please forward your photos to me at email@example.com.
If you're Flickr-literate, you can add them to the "GlassyEyes" Flickr group, forward me the link, and kill two birds with one stone.
Creativity (and QUANTITY) is appreciated!
If you're lucky, you might even get to hear a bit of my beginner guitar stylings -- gotta figure out a way to write-off some of that amp before the end of the year. ;-)
Thanks all.

Things I Like on Sites I Like: Volume 17 comments Posted by Ira at Monday, October 12, 2009
I was poking around EyeBuyDirect the other day and found something really great. So great that I said to myself, "Self, you should whip up a quick post on this."
I'm often frustrated by the perspective of the frame photos on some of the sites. 39DollarGlasses' photos look somehow twisted to me -- always have. I've bought numerous pair of glasses from them and they've all been straight (as expected). I'd also like the images to be a bit more consistent (I'm looking at you GlassesShop).
It's an optical illusion of some sort, but it strikes me every time.
EyeBuyDirect has something that I've been wanting for a long time. My version of this would have shown two versions of the frame in the product grid at the same time -- one straight on, the other at the standard angled view. They haven't given me this, but they do allow me to switch my views now. Look at the frame icons hanging out at the right side of the controls below.
This is a highly useful feature. While the 30 to 45-degree angle view on all the sites may be the most appealing, it's not always a big help in figuring out the look of the frame. I've bought many pairs of glasses online and this lack of a straight-on view has burned me twice. "Burned" being relative, of course as the frames were fine -- just not entirely what I was looking for at the time.
I have a few things I'd change to make it even more useful, however:
Ratings are cute, but could exist solely on the frame detail page. You're not likely to show a 1-star rating on a frame anyway, so having all 4 to 5 star ratings makes this meaningless. I would LOVE (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE) to have the important frame details available in this grid. It would make the process of finding that perfect frame so much less fatiguing.
In the end, I do think the angled view should be the default.
I appreciate the steps EyeBuyDirect is making on making their site more user-friendly.

Wearing Merino in Summer
As odd as it may sound at first, merino wool is one of the most comfortable things you can wear in summer. Why? Because merino's incredibly fine, lightweight fibers can absorb large quantities of moisture vapor and effectively transfer it (through evaporation) into the air. Merino also provides natural protection from UV light and UVB rays.
icebreaker's Cool-Lite™ fabric technology combines the natural comfort and breathability of merino with TENCEL®, a natural wood fiber made from sustainable eucalyptus. Capable of wicking sweat three times faster than merino alone, it's a marriage of fibers made in heaven for those who want to be active, while staying dry and comfortable in the heat of summer.SHOP COOL-LITE ™
The TENCEL® fiber is a round cross-section with a smooth surface so when combined with the fine soft fibers of merino, it creates an incredibly comfortable soft fabric with beautiful drape.
Encourages evaporation to cool and dry. TENCEL® fiber is smooth and dry on the outside and holds moisture in its core, keeping the fabric dry to touch. The TENCEL® microfibers wick moisture through the fiber.
Bacterial growth on TENCEL® fibers is lower than on synthetic fibers, so unpleasant odor is minimized. TENCEL® also offers the best climate between textile and skin so the skin bacteria stays in balance.
TENCEL® is derived from the wood pulp of sustainably farmed eucalyptus trees. It's also eco-friendly, thanks to the closed loop system where 99.5–99.8% of the solvent used to make TENCEL® is recycled.

Last Spring some of the creative people at Taylor-Made began to brainstorm some ideas of something new and fun to offer our guests. Light bulbs were going off like crazy but finally an plan emerged. Summer Scavenger Hunt 2011! The plan was to encourage our renters to really get out and enjoy some of our favorite places and establishments around Deep Creek Lake. During check in, we give our renters a welcome bag (our thank you for their patronage). The idea was to figure out the given clue and have a party member(s) take a picture with the welcome bag at the location. The grand prize was a Free 3 night stay in one of our rental homes! Wow! What a great turnout! For all of those that participated and sent in your pictures, we would like to say Thank You! We loved seeing everyone's photos and hearing your positive thoughts on the hunt. Finally, a winner had to be announced!
Michael and Robin Crawford from Hanover, PA was the grand prize winner. They enjoyed a 7 night stay in On Eagle's Wings in July and will be visiting us again in April for their free trip. Congratulations Michael and Robin!
The fun doesn't stop there! We got such great feedback that we decided to continue the Scavenger Hunt for awhile longer! And so it has began, Fall & Winter Scavenger Hunt 2011! (Okay, so we could have tried to come up with another, more unique name….this title just seems to say it all!) Good Luck to all our future participants. In the meantime, as skiers and snowboarders get giddy with anticipation, see you at the lake!
Month: October 2011
Sometimes you just have to step outside the box….
Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County, in general, offer a bevy of activities throughout the year. However, sometimes its just nice to step outside the box and check out some new places in the surrounding areas. A year or so ago, the hubby, kids, and I were taking a drive to Uniontown, PA (located approximately 50 minutes west from McHenry) when we spotted Wildside. Housed in the same development as Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, this huge building was originally constructed to be a Cabelas type store (camouflage, guns, sporting stuff, etc. all decked out in a very woodsy type of theme). Unfortunately that plan didn't pan out so they chose to turn it into arcade/ game emporium and I must say it is awesome! It houses everything needed for a fun packed family night out! Besides having over 65+ arcade games, they also have a bowling alley, pool tables, dart boards, sports bar, and climbing wall. Playing on the Wildside theme, they kept most of the stuffed animals, the exotic bird habitat, a large aquarium, and a creepy snake display (my boy's favorites). We always go hungry so we can pig out on their pizza and wings ( some of the best we have had!!) So, here it is folks, my latest recommendation for something new to try if you are in the area. From McHenry, it's a smooth, easy 35 minutes away. It's a terrific place to take the kids, chill out, play some fun games, eat delicious (I said delicious, not nutritious!) food, and just have a great time with your family and friends! Until next week, when we get to dress silly and beg for candy, see you at the lake!
Orlando Never Stood A Chance!!
Some of Taylor-Made Deep Creek Vacations staff members just returned from a whirl wind trip to Orlando where they attended the annual VRMA conference (Vacation Rental Management Association). What an enlightening experience! Most days and evenings were spent attending seminars, checking out the showcases, and networking with other vacation rental companies. It was a very rewarding and educational opportunity to pass ideas around with associations who are in the biz! Of course, all work and no play makes for a grumpy group. Taylor-Made got in the spirit of things by dressing as crazed WVU fans for the tailgating party that VRMA hosted. I must say, they can throw down one heck of a party. An awesome band, game stations (foosball, darts, air hockey, etc.), beverages, and food galore! Mix in a fireworks display and you can't go wrong! Sadly, our group did not win the grand prize. In all honesty, I'm not quite sure what the winning category even was (Best dressed??? Best costume???) I do know that if the category was 'loudest', 'most spirited', 'most verbally harsh on the ear drums', we would have been a shoe in! We finished our trip with an amazing, fun trip to the Island's of Adventure! Roller coasters, water rides, shops, slushies, basically all things good! Chad was like a kid in a candy store when he entered Harry Potter's village! Too funny! All in all, the trip was an awesome experience. I learned a lot of useful information and met some extremely interesting people, many of whom I plan to stay in touch with. We arrived home just in time for a gusty, yet sunny and fabulous Autumn Glory Parade (and to the clown who, oh so kindly, dumped a bucket of candy at the feet of my 8 year old son, "thanks!")! Until next time when I pass on more of my Deep Creek knowledge, see you at the lake!
Orlando never stood a chance!
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
The forecast called for "Nice with an abundance of sunshine", and it really was. I decided to hit downtown Oakland to boost the economy with some shopping! After an extremely delish lunch @ Dottie's Grill, I decided to check out the brand spankin' new Oakland Transportation Museum! "Ummm, the what???", you may ask?, as did I! Yes, that's right folks, Oakland is yet again digging deep into its historical roots and has now brought to town an actual museum filled with a bevy of old time transportation that is a part of Garrett County History. Yes, there is your usual old time horse and buggy, classic Cadillac, super groovy Jeepster, old school fire engine, and so forth. Seems rather mundane, right? Wrong! Locals and visitors will certainly enjoy learning about some of the amazing history of our county seat and surrounding area! Walk upstairs and take a huge step back into Deep Creek Lake history. Very interesting and very cool! As a local, I remember a time when the old 219 bridge stood, the lake was way less 'recreational', and you had to drive at least an hour away for a Big Mac or Wal-Mart. Of course, our area has advanced a great deal since then but it becomes apparent that the true serene yet fun atmosphere of the lake is still what brings visitors to our area time and time again. Be sure to check out the model of the first snowmobile that graced the area and the first Flying Scot Sailboat that flowed on the waters of Deep Creek Lake. I highly recommend that you take a day to hit downtown Oakland. Have lunch at one of the many local dining establishments, shop for antiques at one of the many shops downtown and take time to check out the Transportation Museum. It really is worth the trip! Until next week when we drink some ale at Octoberfest, eat tons of food and celebrate the day at the Autumn Glory Parade, we'll see you at the lake!
Has the Fall Festive Fever!!
This weekend marks the annual celebration of days of yore with the Springs FolK Festival located in Springs, Pennsylvania.
A mere 22 minute drive from Deep Creek Lake, the Springs Folk Festival is a celebration of arts, crafts, food, and labor that was once the lifestyle of our forefathers. Here you get to witness women weaving baskets and baking bread, the men threshing and sawing logs, while the children enjoy the simplicities of life with homemade toys, petting zoo, and a hayride. There is something magical about walking the grounds as you take in the pleasant aroma of maple sugar candy, listen to the chimes of bluegrass and gospel music, and witness the demonstrations that not only awe and inspire but clearly make you thankful for the advancement of today's technology.
Definitely come hungry and ready to enjoy a bevy of culinary treats. For those with a sweet tooth, you must try the homemade ice cream, funnel cakes, and lollipops. Meals are also served that consist of Pennsylvania Dutch sausage meals, pancakes, bean soup, and fresh baked bread. If that's not enough, come and enjoy the variety of shopping available. Homemade quilts, baskets, carved wooden furniture, and jewelry is just some of the goods that the over 140 artisans will be showcasing.
There is also plenty of entertainment throughout the festival with a variety of musical performances. Throw in a pageant of local talent, a maple sugar camp, and fall foliage that will surely amaze and this seems like a no brainer to me! Head to Deep Creek for the weekend and make a day of checking out the Springs Folk Festival for some good old fashioned fun! Until next week when festival fever hits again with the Autumn Glory Festival, see you at the lake!

Ten years ago, when I was still in high school, I received a National Portfolio Gold Medal from the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for a chaotic clump of self-reflective poems I'd cobbled together and hoped would say something about who I was and who I hoped to be. I still remember the events that followed, although they're hazy and hot and filmed over with the steam rising from cement on a New York afternoon in June: a start-of-summer, end-of-high-school blur that now revolves mainly around the numerous hors d'oeuvres I ate and how sore my feet were at the end of it all.
At that time, there was no National Student Poets Program—the program itself is only in its third year. Now, having returned, year after year, to volunteer during the National Events for the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, and editing The Best Teen Writing twice I'm the coordinator for the program.

There are no updates at this time. Please check back again.
The EI Reporting System performance has been restored.
The EI reporting system is currently slow, and for some, unresponsive.
Some customers may be experiencing difficulty accessing feedback reports and dashboards. The RizePoint IT team continues to troubleshoot the problem.
Service has been restored to the primary domain controller. Any further updates will be posted at trust.rizepoint.com. as necessary.
We have executed our hot-fix script across all staging and production environments, and have confirmed that access has been restored. All production sites should be accessible within the next few minutes. A post-incident review will be conducted and an RFO (Reason for Outage) report published by the end of next week. These reports are available from RizePoint Account Representatives. The IT team will continue to monitor all systems throughout the night to identify any isolated issues that may remain.
A hot-fix has been written and is being tested on internal servers. Some sites have already come back online but the auto-recovery is taking longer than it should. As soon as we've finished testing the hot-fix we will execute it and all production sites should come back online immediately.
Our IT team has been alerted to login problems for some customer sites. One of the domain controllers in our primary data center is not operating normally. We are working on a hot-fix and expect to have it applied within the hour.

I want to setup a shared data source for my blog between 2 Windows Amazon AWS EC2 instances. I don't want to share a folder off of either server, because I want to be able to stand up new instances if needed and have them point to the same shared data source.
Is there a way that I can create a shared volume of data and point IIS to it from each EC2 instance?
Would mapping a drive to S3 using tntdrive work smoothly?
Has anyone used DropBox to host static IIS websites out of from EC2 instances?

IAVA | December 6, 2017
IAVA Daily News Brief – December 6, 2017
Today's Top Stories
"The female veterans I serve feel the VA is not doing enough to support female veterans," said Roseann Mazzuchelli, the veterans agent in Winthrop and a 21-year Army veteran. "They do a great job, most of the time, at helping out the guys, but we're all service members." | Boston Herald >>
The new, free ID card was ordered by Congress in 2015 as a way to give veterans proof of service at businesses without carrying a copy of their DD-214 forms. The VA a week ago rolled out the online application for the card for all honorably discharged veterans, but the system appeared to immediately face technical problems. | Military.com >>
The more legal services they had, the better they fared, experiencing reduced symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and psychosis, spending less money on abused substances and having better housing situations, the study found. In addition, the study concluded that mental health was improved even if veterans lost their legal battles. | The Hartford Courant >>
Iraq and Afghanistan
Every day for more than three years, the U.S.-led coalition bombed Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria, for a total of nearly 30,000 strikes. But on Nov. 26, not a single airstrike was launched. Just a week earlier, Iraq's military had won back the last sliver of territory controlled by the militants. | The Washington Post >>
The Post reports that Khatab, the second most senior leader of al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent, is the highest-ranking al-Qaeda leader killed in Afghanistan since 2001. There were reportedly another 80 al-Qaeda members killed, and 27 captured. It was also announced on Tuesday that Mullah Shah Wali, the leader of the Taliban's "Red Unit," was killed in a strike. | Axios >>
At the height of its power in Iraq, Islamic State controlled 40 percent of the country's territory and the daily lives of millions of Iraqis. Tens of thousands of Iraqis came to serve the IS administration, including as doctors, teachers, judges, cooks, and lawyers, arguably contributing to the group's control of the cities it occupied. | Reuters >>
Military Affairs
"It's an ability for us to go after some of the most technical and adept talent out there that would like to serve our nation," Nakasone told reporters Tuesday at the Pentagon. "What we are looking for is someone who has experience, who has operated within cyberspace, who has the drive and the dedication … and has the inclination that they want to serve the nation." | Stars and Stripes >>
Buck up, sailors: You've been accelerating your life as a global force for good in America's Navy for a long time now, and it's time for a new sea-service slogan that works for you. That's why we're pleased to inform you that, after 18 months of intensive study and millions of dollars to outside consultants, you are now officially "Forged By The Sea." | Task and Purpose >>
According to a report from the Department of Defense's Office of Inspector General released Tuesday, the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps all failed to submit reports of its members convicted of an offense to the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services. That information is then added to the FBI's Next General Identification database that stores, compares, and exchanges fingerprint data and criminal history for law enforcement use. The National Instant Check System uses that information when someone attempts to buy a firearm from a licensed purchaser. | The Washington Examiner >>
"It's been seven years ago that I was over there," Rioux said. "At the age of 49, I was on the mountains of Afghanistan. We operated between seven and 10,000 feet. (I was) with these 20-year-olds and I was the oldest guy on the whole base – there was nobody older, but I could keep up with all of them. As a matter of fact they had had a hard time keeping up with me at the time." | Williams News >>
The volunteers were provided plenty of water and soap by cemetery workers as they worked for hours washing the tombstones of veterans of World War II, the Korean and Vietnam wars, as well as the tombstones of some of their spouses. "I think it's awesome," cemetery representative Todd Wiseheart said. "I think it needs to happen more often." | Chicago Tribune >>
"Guys might walk in the door and, you know, might not be having a great day or whatever. But usually by halfway through everybody's loosened up and enjoying themselves and shrugged off whatever it is they brought in," Decker said. When the project was started two years ago it was held in the back of the VFW bar in Missoula. | KBZK >>

RJD backs Nitish, says BJP is selling Yoga 'like a commodity'
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi [India], June 20 (ANI): The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Tuesday came in support of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said that latter's view of Yoga being politicised in the nation is correct as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is promoting Yoga "like a spectacle." RJD leader Manoj Jha asserted that the saffron party is selling Yoga "like a commodity." "Yoga is being promoted like a spectacle by this government. Anybody who has sincere belief in Yoga would try to stay away from it. This is not Yoga, this is a commodity which is being sold and Yoga can never be a commodity, so I believe what Nitish ji is saying is perfectly in tune with the way we have seen and practiced Yoga so far," said Jha. Kumar yesterday said he was not against the International Yoga Day, but he did not approve of the political propaganda on the issue. "Publicising the Yoga is not bad. It should rather be practised, but should not be made the issue of political debate. Otherwise people will think that they are not interested in it and are trying fetch votes through it," Kumar said. Replying to a poser on 'Yoga' diwas which will be observed on June 21, Kumar had earlier averred that "Yoga is not something which can be done on a particular day, rather it should be practised every day. I too practice Yoga every day. But I dont believe in publicity." (ANI)

Today, the Moon in Capricorn is conjunct Pluto and Mercury in Capricorn, but square Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Libra. This Cardinal T-Square stirs up deep emotions and signifies conflict, possessiveness, control, manipulation and jealousy. The deepest layers of the subconscious mind present themselves. It helps you to transform on an emotional level and give you insight into yourself and your inner development, which can help you let go of things you no longer need. This aspect pattern allows us to growth! The sextile of the Moon with Venus and Mars in Pisces makes it all less 'heavy' making you to open up to innovation. The quincunx of Venus and Jupiter indicates that it wouldn't be wise to make rash decisions. Wait therefore until you are calmer and have more clarity.

The truth of the matter is that most people don't know anything about mental issues.
As such, misconceptions about anxiety shouldn't be much of a surprise, yeah? I mean, many people go through "episodes" of anxious behavior here and there, yet most of us can't really understand how it feels afterward.
Sure, they'll talk as though we actually get the other person, saying stuff like "I know what it's like" and "we've all been through this"
But that's not true, you don't understand what's it like, and the fact that you've "been there" doesn't matter in the slightest.
We are forgetful
I already see your questioning looks.
What could I mean by "forgetful"? Most of your probably think that you know what certain feelings feel like.
Otherwise, why would you avoid them in the first place?
That's a fair argument, all things considered.
It's true that we remember certain experiences very profoundly.
Research suggests that we tend to remember bad experiences over good ones – all the more reason for you to remember your anxiety, right?
Truth is, it's less about memory and more about mindset.
Think about it for a second: when you are anxious, what are your thoughts exactly?
Wait, you don't answer, I know that you know.
But you were going to give me a few answers alongside the lines of "worried" or maybe "stressed-out", right?
Truth is, you don't really understand what anxiety feels like.
At all.
You may "know" what anxiety feels like, just like you know about stuff like world war II for example, yet you don't really "understand" it.
Anxiety is a mindset, you can realize what a certain mindset dictates, but that doesn't mean that you can see it from "their" point of view.
Because of that, people tend to believe that they understand, but in truth, their perspective is subjective by nature.
Unless they are having the same, or maybe even a similar, condition to yours, they won't be able to "get it".
This rule has few, if any, exceptions.
Funny thing is, this rule also applies to people in "during" and "after" situations.
You don't know your own thoughts, why should you know what other people think?
At this point, you may be raging at me, but let me put up a counter argument to all of your annoyance.
People don't like to be told what they think and why.
In the most basic of levels we relate our thoughts to our freedom, and we often times get angry when someone tries to "read" us and "uncover" our reasoning.
It takes away from our perceived freedom.
Oh look at that, I did just that!
Let me prove it to you, though:
- You know that you are on a diet, and you tell that to yourself, yet whenever tempted with food something "convinces" you to eat it, even if you curse yourself all the way through.
- You return home after a party, only to wake up with a nasty hangover. You promise yourself to never get drunk like this again, yet you do just that right next week.
You have no idea about what makes you do these things, and you tell yourself not to in certain situations, yet you just do them.
The fact is, the "you" that tells you not to isn't really the "you" that does these things.
Well, it is, but it's all about your mindset at any given time anyway.
5 Common Misconceptions About Anxiety
Alright, so after this long intro about why people don't really understand other people, here are some of the most common and annoying misconceptions that people with a "not-anxious" mindset tend to have.
1) "Just work at it and you'll feel better"
This one is actually pretty surprising coming from me, I know.
I always talk about self-help, and how, through a methodical approach, you can solve your anxiety and push it all away.
That case is correct for most cases of anxiety, mild to moderate, yet severe cases of anxiety are much more problematic in comparison.
Why? Because like I said earlier – people without a certain issue can't relate to those who have it.
This also applies to severe cases of anxiety when compared to the rest – the mindset behind "self help" can't work around severe cases.
Keep in mind, that's not to say that "self-help" won't help you, but it might prove itself to be a solid solution by itself over time.
That aside, most "self-help" advice out there is a complete and utter joke, to say the least.
Following that advice won't nearly be good enough for most people – the only really good pieces are worth anything.
2) "Therapy and self-help didn't seem to work, my anxiety is special and no one gets it"
This myth bugs me more than it really should.
This myth just goes along with the assumption that all "self-help" is the same, that all therapists and therapy procedures are the same, and comes up with this dumb conclusion.
Here's an idea – People are different, self-help changes and not all therapists are equal.
Shocking, I know!
Truth is, not only do most of the people who say this don't try hard enough, they also look for shortcuts and aren't willing to put in the effort over time. (more on that later)
Trying hard at the moment is easy enough, yet fighting your anxiety and fatigue over time is exhausting, to say the least.
Giving up under the excuse that you are special (as I said before, we don't like it when other analyze us) is far too easy.
You can't let yourself fall into this pit.
3) "Just snap out of it!"
A lot of people seem to think that just taking pills, going to a few therapy sessions or just doing some exercises is the only thing between them and total freedom from anxiety.
Boy oh boy, they could not be more wrong.
Truth is, you may knock away anxiety for a while, but mental illnesses are systematic and it's likely to return.
No, a permanent solution requires effort.
It takes time, many long sessions and hard work, to permanently get rid of anxiety. It isn't something that you just "do"
Keep in mind, the counter-argument to this isn't much better – some people believe that you can't really get rid of anxiety for life and that it will "always be there".
This idea is equally dumb.
4) "It's genetic/chemical/biological, it's a part of who I am"
Using this as an excuse is a very damaging mindset to have, as it throws the blame at someone else.
Chemical imbalance is mostly theoretical in nature, and scans to prove any biological reason were largely misinterpreted, to say the least – most tools that we can use, such as MRI and fMRI scans, do not show us any biological differences
The only argument that holds any water is the genetic one, yet even that isn't quite good enough.
Genetics can only 'encourage' anxiety-related behavior, they do not enforce it upon you.
This excuse is destructive, it's the "way out" that you might be looking for – but it's more damaging than anything!
5) "just relax" or "calm down!"
The belief that relaxation is the key to getting rid of anxiety is simply wrong.
Yes, relaxation can help your anxiety, and despite is being rather difficult that's not the point.
Relaxation techniques lower levels of stress and help you calm down.
As you might know, recurring stress is the very core of anxiety.
As such, you might believe that dealing with your stress would end up being the solution to your problems.
Not so, however.
You see, anxiety may be affecting you because of stress, but stress is caused due to specific circumstances that relaxation simply doesn't deal with.
Forcing yourself to be relaxed while you have lots of bills (and debt) to pay isn't going to do you much good, right? Relaxation won't change the fact that your boy/girlfriend just broke up with you, and you want them back (badly).
The only way to actually treat your anxiety is by finding the source of it – and dealing with that source.
Relaxation deals with symptoms, which are unpleasant but otherwise don't cause your anxiety to begin with.
Look forward, my friend.
Truth is, most people don't know much about anxiety.
They tend to think that it's all in their head, or that they can't do anything about it. Misconceptions often times seem to contradict each other and go full circle.
Yet anxiety is a pretty simple thing at its core – recurring stress.
As such, it should be dealt with as if it's just that, not some uncontrollable variable or something you can sleep over (because it's, you know, recurring.)
As long as you don't fall into false beliefs, you are already 20% into treating your anxiety.
Meanwhile, though, how about a question? What did you believe about anxiety that turned out to be false?

Real talk here, I want to know when it became a crime to be a woman who is unafraid of expressing her femininity?
As a proud female I encounter sexism essentially every day and it SHOCKS me that many of the chauvinistic displays I am harassed with are still acceptable social norms in the twenty-first century. Sure you can say such behaviors are looked down upon, but then why do people turn a blind eye to the men cat-calling women as they pass them on the street or making obscene propositions toward a girl who is sitting next to them on a crowded train. Recently, really since summer arrived and I've dug out my sundresses and skirts I've noticed a gross trend in how men treat me when I am dressed in traditionally feminine clothes verses more masculine attire. That is that quite a large number of men are under the impression that it is perfectly acceptable behavior to objectify a woman who is outwardly displaying her femininity.
Happening number one: I got stalked on my way to the grocery store this Monday. Do I live in a bad part of town? No. Have I walked there before? Yes many times. Was I dressed like a prostitute on my way there? No. However! I WAS wearing a skirt that day. Now you may say, "but Tricia you should have known better than to invite unwanted attention by wearing such revealing clothing." No, thanks to Catholic school I'm pretty strict about my skirts hitting just above the knee not to mention the blouse I'd paired it with didn't even reveal any cleavage. Now, perhaps you're thinking, "Eh, the guy didn't really hurt anyone." True enough, I wasn't physically hurt in that situation. When I got to the grocery store and asked the man if he needed some sort of assistance he mumbled some sort of garbly-gook and skulked off (probably to follow some other unsuspecting victim). The issue at hand is not that I was not physically hurt, but that I was mentally unsettled by the experience. The man following me could have been the sweetest mother fucker in the whole damn world, but he could also have been a serial killing rapist – the point is there would be no way for me to know that without confronting him. Ah so now you might say, yes you did confront him and he then left you alone. Good job paying attention, yes I was able to safely confront him – after making my way to a public place which I knew had security that I could look to for assistance if the man became violent. And therein lies the reason for my discomfort at this man's advances, the element of uncertainty which I felt while walking to a potential safe spot combined with the uncertainty at how the man would react when called out was extremely unnerving. All because I decided to wear a skirt that day.
So why is it that when wearing more masculine attire (jeans/leggings) I am generally left unmolested, but when I switch to more feminine clothing (skirts/ dresses) the rate of me being harassed is drastically increased? Based on how society is currently handling sexual harassment, the reason for this is seems pretty clear. Men are under no obligation to demonstrate any sort of self-control when it comes to their advances toward women. An abrupt shift in a man's personality from all around great guy to complete scumbag is obviously due to the woman's promiscuous advances and not a deeper seated problem within himself. Or does that sound off to you? Do you think that maybe, just maybe if a man decides that skulking around like a fucking creep and stalking a woman who is minding her own damn business is alright that he should have to take some god damn responsibility for his actions.
How about another story then, happening number two: A friend of mine who exclusively wears feminine clothing was groped and propositioned by her cab driver while on her way home the other night. Report the incident you say? Why yes she did. And here are how few shits the cab company could give for how its employees act toward their customers. First off, when reporting the SEXUAL HARASSMENT she had to label it as discourteous customer service. There was not even a fucking option to register sexual harassment under it's proper name. Why does this matter? It means that if the cabby in question was fired over too many complaints then those complains would not be on record as a sexual harassment – they would be on record as "discourteous customer service" which is a belittlement of what actually happened. Oh, and second – the cab company closed her report before even looking into it because she was willing to be called in for questioning, but did not want to go through the stress of attending a hearing. Why did she not want to go in for a hearing? Because due to the lack of rape she was afraid the claim would be seen as inconsequential. Additionally, she did not want to have to deal with the victim blaming questions of the police concerning what she was wearing (if it wasn't a sweat suit she had no case to complain as she was clearly asking for it), if she had been drinking (we women are notoriously sexual drunks), and why she was out so late (without a chaperone to protect her womanly virtue what was she thinking!?!?!?!). Now, perhaps you will say, "eh if she wasn't willing to use the procedures we've set in place to take care of these issues it's her own fault." Fine, but maybe you missed it when I said SHE. WAS. AFRAID. TO. CONTACT. POLICE. BECAUSE. OF. VICTIM. SHAMING. Oh victim shaming, something society vehemently defends is not a thing, well let me make something perfectly clear. If it were truly wiped out, if victim shaming truly was no longer part of our due process then my friend would not have been afraid to attend her hearing. Near the end of our conversation this is what she said to me, "Ugh, its ok, im glad nothing worse happened although it's kind sad that I can even view it that way." YOU DON'T FUCKING SAY? Yes it's absolutely disgusting that as women we can be THANKFUL that we were ONLY MOLESTED and not FULL ON RAPED. Seriously sickening.
So who was at fault in her story? The cab driver who decided to take what he wanted from the woman he was supposed to be providing a clean and safe service to? Or my friend for being driven home late and wearing feminine, work appropriate clothing? I feel like the answer to that question should be obvious, but from the way this and many other situations just like it are handled every day I'm not sure the answer is as obvious as it might seem.
Let it be known that I am not saying all men are disgusting scumbags who need to learn how to treat others with even an iota of respect. However, I think it's deplorable that society is placing the blame of men's objectification of women onto the females whom they have forced their attentions. Men are you honestly so starved for femininity that as soon as you see a woman in feminine attire she becomes a sexual object in your eyes? And as I previously said, the last I checked women were supposed to have the same rights as men – to live their lives the way they want… be that in skirts OR pants. So why the fuck am I worried about how I'll be treated if I leave the house wearing a skirt?

I traced missile casings in Syria back to their original sellers, so it's time for the west to reveal who they sell arms to
…"I met an old Hughes Aircraft executive who laughed when I told him my story of finding his missiles in eastern Aleppo. When the company was sold, Hughes had been split up into eight components, he said. But assuredly, this batch of rockets had left from a US government base…."
"… Are they making enquiries about this shipment, which Krnjic said went to Saudi Arabia, and the shipping documents which clearly ended up in the hands of al-Nusra – papers of which Nato and the EU had knowledge when the transfer was originally made?
I bet they're not. For I don't think either Nato or the EU has the slightest interest in chasing the provenance of weapons in the hands of Islamist fighters in Syria or anywhere else in the Middle East – certainly not in the case of Damascus, where the west has just given up its attempt to unseat Assad.
Indeed, in a political landscape where "regime change" has become a moral, ethical objective, there can be no moral, ethical investigation of just how the merchants of death (the makers) manage to supply the purveyors of death (the killers) with their guns and mortars and artillery. And if any end user says that "allegations" of third parties are "vague and unfounded" – always supposing that the persons saying this are themselves "end users" – this, I promise you, must be accepted as true and unanswerable and as solid as the steel of which mortars are made…."
