"It makes me physically ill even to contemplate having to give the vote to anyone who is in prison. Frankly, when people commit a crime and go to prison, they should lose their rights, including the right to vote."
– David Cameron, during Prime Ministers Question Time, November 3, 2010.
David Cameron's position on voting rights for prisoners has the merit of consistency. Asked a question in the House of Commons some two years ago about whether the incarceration of convicted prisoners should result in a loss of inmates' rights, he responded that voting rights for prisoners made him "physically ill".
Since then, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled that the UK must end its ban on votes for prisoners after the government lost its ultimate appeal.
David Cameron has now pledged once again at prime minister's questions that his coalition government would never give the prisoners the right to vote. While government now has around three weeks to decide its response to the European court ruling, the prime minister's insistence last month that "No one should be under any doubt – prisoners are not getting the vote under this government" leaves little doubt about the substance of that official reaction.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling told the BBC that "It is very clear that most people in the political world in the UK don't want to give votes to prisoners."
However, the scale of disenfranchisement in the United States leaves the UK looking positively benevolent. America's entrenched commitment to mass incarceration and a punitive penal system has long been acknowledged by criminologists. While the nation is home to just 1 in 20 of the world's population, it imprisons no less than quarter of the whole world's prison population, with a staggering total of 2.3 million of its citizens behind bars.
One element of American penality will play a key role in the forthcoming presidential election. When voters go the polls this Tuesday, an astonishing total of 5.85 million Americans will be forbidden to exercise the fundamental democratic right to vote. They have been stripped of that right because of what it officially labelled "felon disenfranchisement" – that is, those laws which restricting voting rights for anyone convicted of a criminal offence labelled as a "felony".

Presidential Election, due to felony disenfranchisement

A range of state laws bar both felons and in some cases ex-felons from the right to vote. Approximately three quarters of those who are disenfranchised are no longer even behind bars, but are subject to probation supervision or on parole.
Surprisingly for a UK observer, most disenfranchised American citizens are not actually in prison. Almost half of the total number of those barred from voting have already served their full sentence, and are no longer subject to the supervision of the correctional services.
According to the Sentencing Project, ex-offenders in the eleven US states which disenfranchise people after they have served their sentences comprise almost 45 percent of the total of the population denied the right to vote. According to research by the Sentencing Project, an American criminal justice campaigning group which promoting reforms in sentencing policy:
"The number of people disenfranchised due to a felony conviction has escalated dramatically in recent decades as the population under criminal justice supervision has increased. There were an estimated 1.17 million people disenfranchised in 1976, 3.34 million in 1996, and over 5.85 million in 2010."
In short, 1 of every 40 adults of the USA's total population of voting age is denied the right to vote due to a current (or previous) conviction for a felony. By my calculations, if the UK was to disenfranchise offenders at a similar rate, we would deny the right to vote around 1.15 million UK offenders and ex-offenders.
The dynamic of race plays a significant role felony disenfranchisement. The harsh reality that US imprisonment rates are disproportionately higher for African American men may hardly come as a shock, considering that America was embroiled in a civil war over the continuation of slavery until just two lifetimes ago.
African American males are imprisoned at a rate of six times that of their white counterparts. More than two million black citizens are subject to the control of the correctional system, whether in custody, on probation, or on parole. This systematic network of what has been labelled as "racialized social control" (Alexander 2011:20) also encompasses voting rights.
It is astonishing to learn that now less that 1 in every 13 African Americans of voting age is disenfranchised. This is a rate over four times higher than the rate for non-African Americans.
In three states (Florida, Kentucky and Virginia), more than one in five black citizens is denied the right to vote. The disproportionate representation of African Americans within the US penal system means that felony disenfranchisement has a significant impact on the representation of African Americans in the US political system.
There is some evidence that African Americans vote predominantly for Democratic candidates. In a presidential election which promises to be as tightly fought as the current one, African American disenfranchisement may significantly impact the Democratic vote.
Abraham Lincoln's oft-quoted description of democracy in the United States as embodying "government of the people, by the people, for the people" rings somewhat hollow to almost six million citizens denied the right to vote.

In the past couple weeks, the world's top five oil firms (BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell and Total) reported combined losses of $53 billion for the second quarter. This week, BP announced it would cut production by the equivalent of a million barrels of oil per day until 2030 as part of a plan to reach "net zero" greenhouse emissions by mid-century. As the global pandemic continues to batter industries worldwide, it appears the coronavirus has sped up big oil's shift to green.
Second Quarter Misery
Oil majors around the world have begun to release their second quarter earnings and the results are dismal. Royal Dutch Shell reported a staggering $18 billion quarterly loss, Total reported an $8 billion loss, Chevron at $8 billion as well, and while much less severe than their peers, ConocoPhillips reported $1 billion in losses. More reports will be released in the coming days but the true effects of the global pandemic and price war are starting to show and it does not look great for the oil and gas industry.
Money Burning A Hole In Your Pocket
Chevron finally pulled the trigger with their unspent Anadarko money from last year, purchasing Noble Energy in an all stock deal for ~$13 billion. This acquisition ends a long drought of deals and puts Chevron back in the news almost two years after putting Anadarko in play and ultimately standing aside to let Occidental buy it. This also marks the largest transaction in the oil industry since the start of the global pandemic.

Join your hosts Tavis and Kevin as they talk about struggling state budgets, energy payouts with strings attached, itty bitty baby research from Cali, lawsuits galore, and a bill that
Expect the Unexpected
During the OPEC+ meeting on Wednesday, members made the decision to uphold the agreed upon production cuts from their April meeting. With 107% compliance with output cuts in June and economies restarting worldwide causing oil demand to quickly pick up steam, most experts expected a reduction in the agreed upon 7.7 million barrel per day cut for August. Sometimes you just have to expect the unexpected.
Three Strikes and You're Out
Three major blows were inflicted on U.S. pipelines in just a two day span. First, Dominion Energy and Duke Energy canceled the Atlantic Coast natural gas pipeline project on the same day the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ordered the Dakota Access pipeline to be shut and emptied. The following day, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered that construction of the long-delayed and once-resurrected Keystone XL project cannot begin. For it's one, two, three strikes you're out in this brutal, unforgiving game.
Summer Heat
The summer heat has brought plenty of excitement to the oil and gas industry. Feuding investment companies argue if oil demand will ever reach pre-pandemic levels, natural gas prices fall to 25 year lows, and one shale pioneer had to take a break from the heat and file for bankruptcy protection all while employment rates began to skyrocket.
You're Hot Then You're Cold…
Just last week we reported that JP Morgan was predicting $100 Oil "in the observable future" and "could see the price of oil hit $190 a barrel by 2025". Well, those predictions have been revised in the past week and now they predict "oil may never hit $100 again" as a result of the price war, the ongoing pandemic, decimated demand, and U.S. Shale resilience. Talk about being indecisive! In other more exciting news, two leading oil price reporting agencies launched a new U.S. crude benchmark to rival WTI, how cool!
Basin Breakdown April 2020
In this episode your hosts Tavis and Kevin speak about gambling for water money, the red-headed step child of Texas, and the possibility of employment to plug and abandon wells
Unprecedented Fall of U.S. Oil
As the world continues on its long road to recovery from the global pandemic, oil demand is slowly on the rise. Unfortunately, domestic oil production is falling fast with current rates the lowest they have been since March of 2018 and predictions for July would put levels at their lowest since 2013. Has the price war and pandemic destroyed the U.S. Oil Industry?
Not Out Of The Woods
It was a rough end to a week in oil and gas that started so well. After weeks of climbing, oil prices will experience their first weekly loss in seven weeks just as the United States announced an official recession. Things are moving forward but we are not out of the woods just yet.
One Day at a Time. One Step at a Time.
Global oil prices have risen to their highest levels since March on talks of OPEC+ planning to extend production cuts during their Saturday meeting. After almost a week of wrangling, Saudi Arabia and Russia clinched a deal with Iraq over its compliance, paving the way for the agreement's extension into July instead of tapering them. As the world attempts to return to a new normal, we must take things one day at a time, one step at a time.
Market Take Over
Early signs of growing demand for crude oil have prompted market optimism that has led to increased WTI buying, setting the stage for the benchmark's best-ever monthly performance regardless of domestic storage hitting their highest levels in history. With oil surging, there seems to be renewed optimism in the energy industry.
Trusting the Process
This time last month WTI prices went negative for the first time in history as the May front month contract expired. Instead of plunging into negative territory again this month with the expiry of the June contract, prices remained strong and rallied into the thirties for the first time since March. Does this indicate the worst is over for the global oil industry?

Steps in the Right Direction
For the first time since January, crude oil inventories declined indicating the world has begun its journey on the road to a slow and fragile recovery. While this does not mean the global oil and gas industry is out of the weeds just yet, this week's events show steps in the right direction.
The Road to Recovery
Global Economies are officially shrinking with the release of first quarter data, shell wells are being shut-in, global crude has nowhere to go, and according to new EIA data, the United States actually produced more energy than it consumed for the first time since the late 1950s in 2019.
All Dressed Up With Nowhere To Go

So Much For Black Gold
The change in your pocket or between your couch cushions became more valuable than a barrel of oil on Monday as prices went negative for the first time in history. Historically low prices have prompted producers in North Dakota to shut-in their wells, regulators in Oklahoma and New Mexico to allow producers to shut-in wells without consequence, but Texas is still hesitant to take action.

Memento mori
a journey of self discovery through art, journaling and poetry
Tuesday, May 1, 2012
When I am Dead, My Dearest
When I am dead, my dearest,
and gone beneath the ground,
lay me gently in the earth,
so roots can travel down.
So roots can travel down, my love,
that break the flesh and bone,
my pallid skin, frail porcelain,
beneath the grass and stone.
When I am dead, my dearest,
and the soil my eternal bed,
when my breath has all expired,
lay no flowers at my head.
My hair will weave a firmament
of stars as sacred crown,
when I am dead, my dearest,
my love, when I am gone.

Recently, I was watching the VMAs. Recently being about 3 minutes ago, when I stopped watching them to flip between "Catch Me If You Can" and "300", both of which I have seen several times and would rather be watching.
I watched these VMAs for a total of about 18 minutes, give or take a few minutes when I did some Twitter and YouTube research to find out why Kanye West's name was being booed. Which took about a minute – that long because Viacom was fairly quick to remove any and all evidence of this occurrence. But not quick enough to realize that most of America is not quick enough to spell Kanye correctly, meaning that many results still come up for Kayne West + Taylor Swift on the ol' Y-Tube.
In these 18 minutes, I deduced the following: I am not old enough for MTV to make me feel this old. In fact, I am what used to be the target audience (23 years young. 15 years young if you only look at my face and listen to my voice and flip through my diary). Doubly in fact, I am still their target audience – I enjoy about 65% of their programming, mostly the shows that are one hour in length as opposed to one half hour. Triply in fact, I used to work at MTV Networks, and still enjoy bragging about it and reaping the street cred it gives me among my SAT classes (until it is almost always followed by "You used to work at MTV? And now you teach SATs? LIFE IS NOT JUST FUN AND GAMES, KIDS. But for those oh so precious moments, I am their queen.)
The point is, I like MTV and MTV likes me. But I do not like these VMAs.
I have never liked the VMAs as much as the MTV Movie Awards, which I don't even like very much. Maybe because I don't really like music as much as I like movies. But as MTV moves further and further away from music (were you aware of it? I'm pretty sure no one has ever mentioned this fact before) the VMAs are becoming more and more obscure. I would venture to say that a good amount of these videos have never been shown on MTV, maybe at most as a 15 second interstitial between "Daddy's Girls" and "Fantasy Factory." I can only assume that the people watching this program have heard about this music elsewhere. I know I have. This Beyonce video? SNL. Lady Gaga? Bars. Drake? Degrassi (if I had known that America was going to take you kind of seriously, Jimmy, I would have made more of an effort to talk to you when I was on that commercial set. Forgive me for assuming it wouldn't happen. Also, congrats on getting out of that wheelchair. You look brand new!)
Some thoughts:
1. Is Tracy Morgan actively trying to make people forget that he is not actually Tracy Jordan? Does Tracy Morgan exist anymore? Because I really enjoy the fact that he doesn't and if I could live in my make believe world all the time, I would totally do it too. "Stop eating people's old French fries, pigeon; have some self respect! Don't you know you can fly?"
2. Why does anyone like Eminem? I don't think I have ever seen him smile and even the most hard hearted rappers smile sometimes. If you can't smile about being a rapper, I don't trust you as a rapper. Also, he is gross and his songs are not interesting and his voice is like the magnified sound of ice cubes expanding in a glass of warm water, except less picturesque. Parody videos went out with jelly sandals and AOL email addresses. Although I haven't seen a music video in months, so maybe it is actually really in and Eminem is cutting edge. Oh no… no, that's not it.
3. I have never really liked Kanye West because he is totally a reverse racist, but white people are too scared that he will find a way to break into their homes to call him out on it. And I don't really know anything about Taylor Swift except that she is kind of adorable. Basically, I have no real stake in either party musically. But in a non-musical sense, taking the mic from her to say that her competition made one of the best videos ever is the equivalent of Kanye jumping up to the front of the class while Taylor's trying to make a PowerPoint presentation to say that Beyonce's solar system diorama was cooler and less boring, if not more accurate. Kanye is 32. Taylor Swift is 19. When you think about it not as celebrity vs. celebrity, but adult vs. kid (generally), it becomes not just rude but vaguely creepy. But I expect that many people are now working on a Taylor Swift/Kanye Mash-Up, so maybe it was all a publicity stunt after all.
4. Was that Jamie Lynn Sigler introducing some category with Diddy? Has she done anything since The Sopranos? WHY IS SHE HERE AND RELEVANT ENOUGH TO PRESENT? Unless it was not her. In which case I have no idea who it was. Which makes me feel old.
5. Muse has got to be resentful of the fact that Twilight is getting them so much play right now. At least, I hope they resent it. Their performance was touted as "the performance everyone will be talking about tomorrow", despite being a band since 1994 and existing in what I presumed to be the general music sphere for at least 5 of those years. I mean, if I know who Muse is, and I have barely changed my musical tastes since the 7th grade, it's kind of bizarre that people who are currently in 7th grade are thinking that they have just found this hot new vampirey band. Because I can't listen to their music now without thinking about vampires and having sex with vampires and getting married so that I can have vampire incubuses break through my womb and kill me and this is suddenly revealing that I read all of the Twilight books but no judgment, no judgment.
But what am I saying? This all depends on the VMAs themselves being culturally relevant. Which Twitter tells me it is, but Twitter also sometimes tells me that things like moonfruit are culturally relevant, so who knows?
What did the snotty rapper name his clothing line?

Habana Eva - film by Fina Torres, 2010
Friday February 4th at 9:00 pm
Prakriti Maduro plays Eva, a free-spirited seamstress
full of innocence, mischief and passion.
When a wealthy photographer into town and offers
her a large sum of money to be his tour-guide it
complicates things between Eva and her soon-to-be
-husband and she has to come to terms with what
she really wants out of life. The film is directed by
Fina Torres (Women On Top) and features a solid
supporting cast with Yuliet Cruz, Juan Carlos Garcia
and Carlos Enrique Almirante.
Cuba, an island with a complicated history, but
overflowing with people rich in pride, dreams, and
love, is the setting for this romantic comedy that
also takes a look at the current economic and
political landscape. With all the laughs Habana
Eva brings, it's easy for viewers to overlook the
serious social situations it attempts to present, and
more than likely leave you with thoughts of sipping a
mojito. Habana Eva, screened during the New York
International Latino Film Festival, is a treat for any
Latino movie lover.
Habana Eva is delightfully funny, with a
dash of magical realism and ode to the
beauty of Cuba.

Aloha Spirit
This past trip to Hawaii has been very healing for me. The first time I went to Hawaii last year, my mom called me one day and inquired if I was going to return home since I looked so happy in my pictures. I didn't want to go home. Hawaii is just a healing and Zen-like atmosphere. I feel very centered and peaceful while on the island. It also doesn't hurt that my bestie lives there.
Going this year was a different experience for me. I haven't seen my best friend Nicole since Christmas and with her being in Hawaii, she was unable to attend my mother's funeral. Our families are very close, so seeing her was a big deal.
My trip was very healing. There is something so serene and peaceful about the ocean water, going in it and listening to it. My aunt had sent me a very powerful book, Permission to Mourn: A New Way to Grieve by Tom Zumba. It is an easy read, but I read it throughout the trip, often rereading sections. That is how powerful it is. It really taught me to look at life differently, along with my mother's passing. It is normal to feel all the different ranges of emotions I am feeling right now. Anger, sadness, depression, numbness, anxiety… the list goes on. The hardest emotion that I am feeling is the random feeling of happiness. I feel guilty when I experience happiness in something in my life, like traveling to Hawaii or being with my boyfriend. I feel like I shouldn't be happy. The hardest part is getting over the guilt that I experience everyday.
The food in Hawaii is AMAZING!!!! Even with all of my food allergies, I am able to eat many healthy and delicious things. I love eating fruit smoothie bowls, which I have to inquire about the different ingredients, with fresh fruit, gluten free granola, fresh shredded coconut, and local honey. My other favorite food is Poke which is fresh tuna mixed with different ingredients like Wasabi Poke with Scallions and Spicy Ahi Tuna Poke.
Some of my favorite parts of my trip besides going to the beach were going SUP Paddle Boarding and hiking. We went to Maunawili Falls where we had to hike up a steep and rocky trail that was incredibly muddy (it had just rained for two days). Sometimes there was no trail, rocky waters to climb through, tons of stairs, and lots and lots of mud! We were covered! Once we got to the top, I jumped off a cliff into the amazing waterfall. It was beautiful!
When we went SUP Paddle Boarding, I went paddle boarding while Nicole and Anthony went kayaking. This is my favorite place to paddle board. While I was off trying to not get stuck in a tree (very windy), I saw a large sea turtle (which I am obsessed with). I got so excited and it I saw him again later on. I felt like my mom was there with me since Colie and Anthony did not see him.
This trip was amazing and very eye opening. It was such a healing and incredible experience. I still don't understand why my mother was taken away so quickly and I might never know. I understand for whatever reason it was her time to go but reading the book helped me to understand that it is okay to question it. To question everything… to experience everything… every emotion, every thought, pain, and happiness. I am trying my best everyday. To take one day at a time.

Soot GremlinsPosted by J on Friday, September 2, 2011. Filed under: disney, free pattern, knitting, knitting pattern, my neighbor totoro, soot gremlins, sprites
My children have recently become obsessed with the film My Neighbor Totoro, it's adorable and funny and just a really great film. In the movie there are these little black fuzzy blobs of dirt called the "Soot Gremlins" (I keep misspeaking and calling them Sprites, but in this translation they are Gremlins). My kids were so enthralled with these little critters they tried to be sly and started conversions with "you know...you could probably knit those..they don't look they'd be too hard" so my oldest daughter and I headed to Micheal's and picked up some black fun fur and I knitted them up. Here is the pattern that I came up with, it's super easy and quick the fun fur hides a lot of errors so don't worry if you've never worked with it before!
Yarn: 1 skein Furry yarn in black (I used Fun Fur)
1 skein worsted weight yarn in black (I used Vanna's Choice)
Needles: size 7 US circular needles (to magic loop)
Misc: 1 pair size 9 safety eyes
small amount of poly fill for stuffing
With the two yarns held together cast on 20 stitches. Join and work in the round for 12 rows.
Cast off all your stitches.
Turn the piece inside out (the purl side of the work is usually more fuzzy, if you like he Knit side, by all means use that) attach your safety eyes. Sew up the top of the Soot gremlin. Stuff the piece and sew up the bottom.
You're done!

May was a busy month for motorsport with the mountune Racing Track Team supporting drivers in various championships across the globe.
BTCC Round 3 | 4 - Thruxton | Oulton Park
Continuing his already successful season, this month saw Adrian Flux Subaru Racing's Ash Sutton maintain his solid start and add more points to his 2017 campaign.
Round 3 at Thruxton saw Sutton finish races 7, 8 & 9 in 6th, 8th, 6th respectively in his mountune powered 2.0 turbocharged Levorg.
Qualifying 6th at Round 4, Oulton Park, Sutton climbed the grid in Race 1 to slot into third place after battling with Turkington & Moffat, clinching an impressive podium finish. Race 2 saw him quick off the start against pole sitter Jordan, taking and holding the lead from lap 2, securing the top step podium this time, and claiming his first win of the season, and this first for the Subaru manufacturer team. Race 3 saw Sutton finish just outside the podium rankings in 4th place.
The mountune powered Motorbase Performance team took several top 10 finishes at rounds 3 & 4 this month, seeing an improvement in their 2017 campaign and adding points to the all important standings table. Oulton Park also saw new addition to this years line-up, Luke Davenport's first visit to the podium as the top scorer of the weekend in the Jack Sears Trophy.
Maximum Motorsport's Josh Cook also saw a top 10 result in the first 2 Races at Oulton Park this month, and started the third race in pole thanks to a reverse grid draw. Unfortunately a knock in the fourth lap saw Cook suffer suspension issues which put his mountune powered Focus out of the race.
GRC Round 2 - Louisville
This month saw mountune powered Honda Red Bull Olsbergs MSE driver Sebastian Eriksson take the win at round 2 of this years Global RallyX Championship by just .071 seconds, running his mountune / Oldsberg developed 2.0L engine, giving Honda their first win since joining the sport back in 2016.
"It was a great race for us," said Eriksson. "I was up in the lead for a few laps, but then I fell back to fourth, so it was crazy. But it was so much fun! The team has worked so hard for this over the past year and a half, and finally we've been able to win a race. It feels great, but we can't stop working hard and trying to secure more victories this year."
Team mates Mitchell De Jong and Oliver Eriksson finished 5th and 7th respectively.
CTCC Round 1 - Zhuhai
May saw the first round of the 2017 Chinese Touring Car Championship kick off in style, with mountune again having four cars on the grid by way of 2016 Manufacturer's Title Champions, Changan Ford Racing Team.
Rainey He, Andy Yan, Martin Cao, and international wild card driver, UK's Daniel Lloyd all gave a solid start to the eight round series in their mountune powered turbocharged EcoBoost Ford Focus 2.0T hatchbacks, despite the wet conditions.
All four drivers finished Race 1 in the top 10, followed by Lloyd's thrilling podium finish in Race 2 where he earned the second step.
With a total 47 points earned over the inaugral weekend, Changan Ford Racing Team currently sit in second position in the Manufacturers' Championship race and look forward to Round 2 this weekend.
World RallyX Round 3 | 4 | 5 - Germany | Belgium | UK
Germany saw Martin Kaczmarski compete in his second consecutive World RallyX round at the famous Hockenheimring in his mountune powered Ford Fiesta STRX. During the four qualifying sessions, Kaczmarski took 16th, 15th, 14th and 18th overtaking several titles factory team drivers, including Solberg and Hansen but unfortunately did not advance to the semi finals.
Kaczmarski took 19th place at the fourth round in Belgium this month and once again occupied the top spot of the individual drivers, as he did in the 5th round at Lydden Hill last weekend where he finished 22nd.
Round 5 at the legendary UK circuit also saw mountune powered Oliver O'Donovan & Oliver Bennett line the grid of the 5th 2017 WRX event taking places 20th and 23rd respectively.

WUHAN, China — Johanna Konta crashed out of the Wuhan Open Monday, joining an exodus of top seeds including US Open finalists Sloane Stephens and Madison Keys after a shock-prone beginning to the Chinese tournament.
Konta, who was handed a bye as the fifth seed, failed to get on the scoreboard against Australia's Ashleigh Barty in the first set but appeared to be staging a comeback when she led 3-1 in the third.
The 26-year-old Brit, who went out in the first round at Flushing Meadows, served for the match but eventually succumbed 6-0, 4-6, 7-6 to Barty, ranked 37 in the world.
Konta was also joined by reigning-champion Petra Kvitova in an unexpected early exit, with the Czech number 11 seed losing to China's Shuai Peng 7-6, 6-7, 7-6 after a thrilling three-and-a-half-hour, three-set epic.
At a post-match press conference, Konta said she "fought incredibly hard and made a match out of it".
"Obviously I didn't start off very well so I had quite a bit of work to do."
"I was unfortunate not to come through but I think that's also part of sport, you can't be successful all the time," she added.
Kvitova, who was hoping for her third victory at Wuhan, said she was not used to playing such long matches.
"I was cramping at the end so it was pretty challenging for me and in one way I'm pretty proud of myself that I was able to fight," she added.
Hours earlier US Open winner Stephens suffered a shock defeat at the hands of China's Wang Qiang in the first round.
That came after fellow Flushing Meadows finalist Madison Keys tumbled out.
Stephens, the 14th seed, lost 6-2, 6-2 in her first WTA event since her surprise victory against Keys in New York.
Despite a strong fight by Stephens in the second set, Wang -- spurred on by the home crowd in the 15,000-capacity stadium -- proved too strong for the 24-year-old American.
"I didn't play a great match. But my opponent played very well," Stephens said.
"I mean, it's difficult. It's the end of the year. Even though I played five tournaments, I feel like I played 25."
Stephens, who ranks number 17 in the world, added she had been taking it easy since her US Open win.
"I went to see my grandparents. So no partying for me. I don't party. I don't drink. I don't do any of that stuff," she added.
Hot and steamy city
Keys also crashed out at the first hurdle in the hot and steamy Chinese city, losing to US qualifier Varvara Lepchenko after struggling to overcome a longstanding wrist injury.
The 22-year-old American 10th seed fell 6-2, 7-6 in what was also her first WTA tournament since the Flushing Meadows final.
Keys, the world No 12, called a medical timeout early in the second set and looked close to tears as she examined her left wrist, which has twice needed surgery in the past.
Keys had chances to level the match in the second set but Lepchenko saved two set points to hold at 5-5, before taking the tiebreak 7-4.
"The strength (of my wrist) has been the biggest issue... I've been dealing with it over the summer," she told journalists.
In other matches, Angelique Kerber of Germany, the 12th seed, fell to Caroline Garcia of France.
While Agnieszka Radwanska, the ninth seed, beat Magdalena Rybarikova 6-4, 7-5. — AFP

The March 2016 State of Oregon Regional Economic Indexes of was released today. Full report is available here. We thank KeyBank for their generous support of this project.
Regional economies maintained their momentum in April. Highlights of the report include:
- The measures for all regions continue to indicate above average growth (both the "raw" April numbers and the moving average measures of activity, which smooth monthly volatility). Recall that "zero" for these measures indicates relative average growth; each region has its own underlying growth rate.
- New housing units permitted made a near-neutral contribution in all areas with the exception of Salem. New home construction in Salem continues to lag despite experiencing strong demand for housing seen in other areas of the state. Rising home prices in the Portland area remain a supportive component of that index.
- Employment components of the measures were generally near-neutral to positive. Broad measures of the labor market – unemployment, labor force, and initial unemployment claims – made positive contributions to the measures for almost all areas (the labor force made a near neutral contribution in the Rogue Valley).
- Growing populations and more economic activity continue to boost municipal waste measures while airport passenger activity is increasing at a normal rate, thus making a neutral contribution to the measures.
- Overall, the economic expansion continues to felt across the state with the largest cities experiencing growth consistent with that of past expansions.
Reminder: The regional measures are prone to potentially large swings due to the volatility of some of the underlying data, particularly measures of employment. The moving average measures smooth out much of that volatility.

Yesterday I turned 27, which is actually kind of strange of me to type, cos it's weird to think that little me is 27. Little me you know, with the baby face and all that, but 27 I am and I am good with that. Very good with that.
Saying that I'm good with 27 is an even weirder thing for me, because I have disliked the thought of getting older for so long. I hated turning 25 with a passion and although I was fine with 26, the thought of getting older still filled me with dread. For a long time, the age of 27 disturbed me and I tried to avoid it, especially as it feels even closer to 30, but I'm not feeling too bad about that age either now. As long as these good genes of mine hold out, I'm still gonna be looking young and I love that.
I also felt really blessed and grateful to God to not only see another year, but to see another day of my life, as I've wanted to have my life taken away from me on way too many occasions to count over the past three years. This earth is a sick, twisted, sad place, which I know I'm not made for and wish I could leave, but I've also felt that so many others should be still breathing in place of me, who is often so ungrateful for the breath I have in my body. That was not the case this year.
I was extremely happy on the day, and I had been in a great place during the days leading up to it, which is always a positive thing. I've also had a positive year on the most part, with a number of amazing things happening and God opening a number of doors. I got baptised this year, my platform became an official organisation and celebrated three years this year (through God's help only), I won my first competition with my poetry this year, I delivered my first keynote address this year, and I had my face plastered over a storefront this year. This is just a snippet of some of my many highlights, and we've still got four months of the year to go.
At 27, God has given me more than I could have ever imagined or asked for. He's put me on a path I never expected or planned for, but love with all my heart and gives me a reason to keep fighting on. He's also blessed me with many beautiful people, who contributed to making my day so special and a whole lot of fun, especially my sister who was there throughout the whole thing.
Usually, my birthday feels like a new chapter, but this year feels more like the middle of a chapter that is still being written, which probably won't be finished until the new year comes and I am more than good with that. I just can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings and what other blessings God brings my way, cos I know that I've got a whole lot more work to do, more love to spread in the world and more people to empower so that their voices are heard.
I'm only just beginning to tap into my true power and potential.

What does burnt toast have to do with brain surgery? Today, Google is making that connection with a Doodle that honors pioneering neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield.
Penfield, who was born in Washington in 1904, attended Princeton, then pursued studies in neuroscience as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. He eventually settled in Canada where he became Montreal's first neurosurgeon, according to the Google Doodle blog post, and went on to found the Montreal Neurological Institute in 1934. It wasn't until the 1950s that Penfield made the discovery he's best known for today.
Originally, Penfield was looking for a way to treat patients who suffered epileptic seizures. According to PBS's A Science Odyssey, he thought that if he could stimulate an aura, the sensation many patients experience before the onset of a seizure, using an electric probe, he could figure out where the seizure activity originated in the brain. The successful surgery was named the Montreal Procedure. From this, Penfield learned that by stimulating specific parts of the brain, he could evoke powerful memories of specific colors, sounds, and smells — like the smell of burnt toast.
His findings didn't end there. The Canadian Association for Neuroscience reported that Penfield mapped the parts of the brain that were responsible for language. He also discovered that probing the amygdala could help seizure patients describe the exact sensations they experienced during a seizure. Penfield's many accolades included induction into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame, the prestigious Lister Medal, and inclusion in the Royal Society.
If you ever read Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, you might recognize Penfield's name from there, too. According to the Google Doodle blog, the "fictional Penfield Mood Organ, [is] a device used to change a mood by 'dialing it in' on a number pad."
Today's Doodle celebrates Penfield's achievements on what would have been his 127th birthday. The animation that appears on the search engine's homepage depicts a brain, and shows the smell of burnt toast wafting into a person's nose. It's a clever way to remember the renowned researcher.

Dog walking will provide a range of benefits for your dog, it is highly recommended by many experts for most young dogs to have at least 1 hour of exercise per day. Dogs who do not meet these criteria have a higher chance of being overweight sooner or later.
Dog walks can also stop dog behavioural problems such as aggression. Dogs need physical activity to assert their energy in, or they will resort to other factors in order to clear up their energy- such as destructive/ disobedient behaviour.

Where is the Snow?
Posted by piphunt on December 14, 2011 in Adventures of Pip |
This time last year, I was shredding feet upon feet of instant-refill powder all over the Wasatch. If watching last weeks Salomon Freeski episode wasn't enough to make me miss last December, skiing icy man-made snow at Alta last weekend was. Last night, Ullr finally blessed us with a smidgeon of snow. It was the first snow in the Wasatch in 3 weeks. Meanwhile, Alyeska is reporting dumps so large it's difficult to ski. Sigh. La Nina, why can't you be everywhere at once?


text: Today marks three weeks here in Los Barriles. Although we are all set up with our "shade compound" and, in between working on camp business, have been actively joining the local scene of art shows, pickleball, and yoga, it also feels as though we just arrived and is a perfect indication of how elusive the concept of time can be. As ever, one of our very favorite parts of our crazy life is the fact that we get to meet so many interesting people every day. And, also as ever, everyone is capable of being a critic. But for any negative vibes we encounter we just sit back confidently knowing we are mastering the art of living.

Hilton Creates Frenzy With Clothing Line
LOS ANGELES -- Paris Hilton continues to expand her empire. The heiress, author, singer, perfume designer and reality-TV star unveiled her namesake clothing line Thursday at Kitson, a trendy boutique known for its celebrity clientele.
"It's a dream come true to have my own clothing line," she said. "It's just Paris style: fun, bright and flashy."
The collection, which Hilton described as "really comfortable" and "really affordable," includes shoes, T-shirts and jeans. Hilton said she spent a year submitting and approving designs.
"It's just from my closet to their closets," she said. "I'm just excited about it and everyone really loves it."

Let me introduce myself: My name is Angela. I'm born in 1991 and raised in The Hague, The Netherlands. I moved around during my studies and in 2016 I moved to Krakow, Poland.
In the beginning I started with a website called annemeisj.com (in dutch) for my friends and family but started a couple of times over. There was not just one theme on the blog, which felt a bit unprofessional for me.
Early 2018 I fell back in love with running and due to my love for running I really enjoy talking about my trainings and competitions. On AnneRuns.com you can read about my running experiences, trainings, lifestyle but also how I experience living abroad.

Tiny Thai Place recently opened in the old Cowboys' restaurant on U.S. Highway 278 west of Monticello.
"Thai Paul" Phurisri prepares everything from scratch as the "One Man Show" providing Southeast Arkansas with Thai food, so cook times often approach 30 minutes. Still people return to wait as he cooks to order for lunch and dinner, usually Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 3 p.m., then from 5-8 p.m. He also cooks Sunday for lunch.
The Thailand native can cook for 30-50 people an hour, depending on what's ordered. Where he once changed the menu daily, now he features a regular menu with occasional additions.
C'mon in My Kitchen

She has yet to grace the cover of her home country edition, but September is shaping up as the month in which Miranda Kerr hit the big time in the international Vogue stakes, with three editorials inside the September edition of US Vogue and the September covers of both Vogue España and now Vogue Italia. Shot by Steven Meisel in 3D, even Kerr's pooch Frankie gets a lookin on the Italian cover. It wasn't the Yorkshire terrier that grabbed frockwriter's attention in two images in the accompanying 12-page editorial, however, but a cigarette (above, below). And it's not the first time Kerr has been photographed smoking this year. In June, she appeared topless, cigarette in hand, in issue 114 of French magazine Numéro.

Post subject: Accurate and Functional Obi Wan PT Buckles
Update 12/14/13
Obi Buckles are in stock! Here are some new pics:

Hello Everyone
I am proud to announce my partnership with Diego at the.rebel.agent designs and would like to announce that the elusive Obi PT Buckle is finally coming to fruition. For those of you that have been following this project with Diego, it started back in 2006 and after hitting a few stumbling blocks it looked to be unattainable. Fast forward to this past summer, I contacted Diego about possibly acquiring a few buckles only to learn that the project had not happened. I asked if he would be ok if I took a crack at it, he agreed. So we sent the designs to my contacts, made a 3d printed sample, and now have the working prototypes in hand. Here they are:
Close Up Gallery
As you can see from the gallery, these are all metal, fully functional buckles just like the real deal. I elected to go with a Rack Nickel Finish to match my Anakin Buckles. All I can say is we finally did it.
Diego and I have just sent in a few small revisions to my manufacturer, once I hear back from them we will have a solid timeframe of availability and I will post both a sale thread AND launch these on my website. If I had to place a guess, these should be in hand before the end of the year.
I also want to take a moment and remember a fallen friend. Ryan Jones (JediAgent) was instrumental in helping Diego get this project going and, if you followed any of the older threads from Diego, they worked back and forth on quite a few details. Unfortunately, Ryan isn't here today to see where this project has gone, but I strongly believe he is smiling down upon us now. Diego and I would both like to dedicate this project to Ryan and his memory.
Obi Buckle Update - 10/24/13
After the first batch arrived in Diego's hands he realised a few things needed to change, all for the better. Here are the 3 changes we made:
Change 1 - we added some metal to the face of the buckle so we could deepen the score lines. What we found was that from a distance the score lines disappeared, so this will fix that issue.
Change 2 - the side flaps were just to loose. We are having my manufacturer change the assembly process so that we can tighten those up.
Change 3 - this is the change that 99.97% of costumers will never see or know about, but Diego caught it and pointed it out to me. The attachment holes that hold the body of the buckle together on the back of the buckle were reversed, so in the wrong spots. Since Diego had his hands on the real deal buckle, he pointed out that this should be changed to make the buckle completely accurate. I agree and so the change was made. Again, the majority of people would never know about this change, but we did and we want it right.
So, what that means for you guys? Well, we had to make new molds so my timetable got pushed out by about 3-4 weeks from today. I'm still hopeful that I can get these in by the end of the year, but it may push into January by just a little bit.

I wanted to take a minute and thank Diego for allowing me to take part in this project. On a personal note I am both honored and grateful that I was able to, in some small way, bring this project to life.
I strongly believe that all thanks needs to go to Diego, without his vision and tenacity, this almost 8 year project would never have seen the light of day.
Take a bow my friend, you deserve it. This has been a long, tough road for you but the end is in sight.

No worries, it will go into the "for sale" forum once I have my timeframe and final price. I think EVERYONE will be quite happy and surprised once that announcement is made

Post subject: Links for a variety of Generic Jedi Belt Buckles as of 10/13
I would love to have a copy of the buckle that started this thread from 2003, but alas, when going to the site, I didn't see any available.
So I went looking. Many are complete elastic belts with interlocking metal buckles in a variety of colors and many are gold toned.
But for those who are looking for buckles and are finding it daunting like I did. Here is a head start.
This is a list of links that are working as of 10/14/13 that I found to be interesting and could be of use: Happy Hunting!

I'm not sure what you mean, but this IS Diego's buckle, it will be made and it will be right. I'm not moving forward on any of this without Diego's approval and blessing. Trust me, he is completely in the loop on every move this project has taken.
I'm not sure why you posted all of those links in this thread, but can you kindly remove those? I know I answered the 1 buckle question, which I probably in hindsight I should have answered via PM, but this thread is really for the Obi buckle announcement, I'd really prefer to keep it on track

Nine months in the making, the new, 9,000 square foot Women's Center at Cache Valley Hospital is now complete. A team of experienced maternity care specialists will start delivering babies on March 01, 2017 in spacious birthing suites. Each of the six suites is 400 square feet in size and features deluxe accommodations for expecting moms and dads – and their newborns too.
The birthing suites at the Women's Center are specifically designed to enhance childbirth experiences and enable the creation of lifelong memories. Women can expect personal, one-on-one nursing care while they labor and deliver their babies. Then, every new mother will recover in the same comfortable room with their baby at their side. As another option for mom, a special care nursery is close-by.
"It's been nine months since we broke ground for our new Women's Center and now we're ready to deliver – literally," said John Worley, CEO at Cache Valley Hospital. "We're excited to enable memorable childbirth experiences that are unique in this area and better meet the needs of young families in our growing community."
Here are some of the highlights of the birthing experience at Cache Valley Hospital:
- Personalized nursing care and encouragement during the childbirth experience
- New moms can choose to include spouses, labor partners and other family members
- Support for individual birth plans and childbirth methods of choice such as the Bradley Method®
- Pain control options include epidurals provided by specially trained anesthesiologists 24/7
- Onsite surgical suites for cesarean deliveries if necessary
- State-of-the-art medical equipment and technologies, nonintrusive but at-hand if needed
- Special care nursery where knowledgeable nurses provide top quality care to newborns, including those born as early as 32 weeks gestation
"Women will benefit from one-on-one nursing care as they bring their babies into the world – and then as they rest and recover in the same comfortable, private room," said Christie Gaz, director of women's services at Cache Valley Hospital. "We understand that expectant women want options. We'll support their choices and honor their individual birth plans."
The spacious birthing suites feature many of the comforts of home including the following:
- Jetted tub available during labor
- Dad or another support person may "room in"
- Pull-out beds for spouses, labor partners or another family member
- Celebratory catered lunch or dinner for two
- Visiting hours allow family members and guests time to visit with the newest addition
- Glider rockers where new mothers can relax and get to know their little ones
- iPod docking station and Blu-ray player
- Flat-screen television
After their little ones arrive, new parents can relax knowing their baby is being pampered and well cared-for by our expert team of caregivers. Our infant security system protects newborns throughout their hospital stay too.
