Judge doubts military court would allow terror witness
The federal judge who dealt a blow to the government last week by excluding a key witness from a terrorism trial being held in a civilian court in New York said a military commission might well bar the same witness.
The comment in a newly declassified version of Judge Lewis Kaplan's opinion undercuts suggestions from some conservatives that a military tribunal would be likely to accept the testimony from Hussein Abebe, whom prosecutors wanted to use as a witness against Ahmed Ghailani, an alleged bomber of of U.S. embassies in 1998.
"It is very far from clear that Abebe's testimony would be admissible if Ghailani were being tried by military commission, even without regard to the question whether the Fifth Amendment would invalidate any more forgiving provisions of the rules of evidence otherwise applicable in such a proceeding," Kaplan wrote in the fuller version of his opinion, unearthed by Marcy Wheeler at Firedoglake. (The comment appears in a footnote on page 62 of the opinion.)
Kaplan noted that the military commission statute and rules "preclude or restrict the use of 'statements obtained by torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment,' and evidence derived therefrom, and could require exclusion of Abebe's testimony. Even if they did not, the Constitution might do so, even in a military commission proceeding."
As I wrote on the day of Kaplan's ruling:
Some experts cautioned that judges overseeing military commissions will also have to rule on the same issues involving testimony or evidence derived from coercive interrogations — and might well reach the same conclusion as Kaplan.
"A lot of people assume that the constitutional issues disappear if you stay at Guantanamo and put people in military commissions, but there's no reason to think that," said Robert Chesney, a law professor at the University of Texas.
Eugene Fidell, a Yale Law School expert on military justice, concurred: "I see no reason to believe that a military commission, were it faced with the same issue, would have ruled any differently."
There are notable differences between military commissions and federal civilian courts, regarding hearsay for instance. But the fundamental choice about terror suspects really involves whether they should be tried at all and not so much which system they are tried under.

Printing While Visiting MBARI
Visitors to MBARI may use "LPR printing" to print to MBARI network printers. Step-by-step setup instructions for Windows and Mac clients are below. For those familiar with setting up LPR printing, here is a brief synopsis of the information you need:
- Printer or host name – thunder.shore.mbari.org (the MBARI print server)
- Queue name – the MBARI-assigned name of the desired printer (found on a label on the physical printer itself, or on the thunder web site.) [Note: Links to thunder are not accessible outside MBARI.]
- Printer model – found on the physical printer itself, or the thunder web site.)
- Printer driver – included in most newer operating systems, or downloadable from HP
Windows Setup
After determining the name and model of the printer you wish to print to, set up an LPR connection to it on a Windows computer by following the steps below. (These instructions were written for Windows 10.)
- Go to Start->Control Panel->Devices & Printers… and click the Add a Printer link at the top of the window.
- In the dialog that appears, click the "The printer that I want isn't listed" link at the lower left.
- Select the "Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings" radio button and click Next.
- On the "Choose a printer port" screen, click the "Create a new port" radio button, and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" from the dropdown menu. Click Next.
- Enter thunder.shore.mbari.org in the "Hostname or IP address" field. In the "Port name" field, enter any name that makes sense to you, but it must be filled in. (It will default as the server host name.) Click Next to continue.
- Wait for the detection process to complete. It will likely fail; that's ok.
- Select the Custom radio button and click the "Settings…" button.
- Under the Protocol section, select "LPR". Under LPR Settings, in the "Queue Name" field, enter the name of the printer and tick the "LPR Byte Counting Enabled" checkbox. The printer names can be found labeled on the physical printers themselves, or on Thunder.
- Click Ok, then Next to continue.
- Locate the printer make and model on the list presented. (If the printer does not appear in the list, click the Have Disk button and navigate to drivers you downloaded from HP, or choose a similar printer model; the IS group can help choose a compatible alternate.) Click Next to continue.
- Enter your preferred name for this printer (or accept the offered name). Click Next to continue.
- Select whether to make this your default printer, and click "Print a test page" if you wish.
- Click Finish and the installation will be complete.
macOS Setup
After determining the name and model of the printer you wish to print to, setup an LPR connection to it on a macOS computer by following the steps below.
- Open System Preferences, and choose the Printers & Scanners preference pane.
- Click the '+' button at the lower left to add a printer.
- In the Add window that appears, click the IP icon. Enter thunder.shore.mbari.org as the Address. Choose Line Printer Daemon – LPD from the drop down menu. Enter the printer name in the queue name field, and enter the human-readable name you would like to use to refer to the printer in the Name field.
- From the Use menu, choose Select Software… and choose the appropriate printer model from the list and click Ok. (If the printer model or a compatible alternate does not appear in the list, cancel the configuration process, install the driver for the printer, and begin again from step 1.)
- Click the Add button.
- Depending on the printer selected, an installable options sheet may appear. MBARI laser printers typically have all optional input trays installed, duplex capability, an internal hard drive, and memory upgraded to 128MB plus. Ask an IS staff member if you are not sure how to configure the installable options.
- Click the Ok button, and the installation will be complete.

Virginia is a beautiful state just north of North Carolina. As the home of the first colonized area in the United States, Virginia is rich with history. Also, this state is surrounded by awe-striking natural scenery. Complete with glorious mountains, sandy beaches, gorgeous rivers, and more, there is little to dislike about what Virginia has to offer in regards to the visual aspect.
Unfortunately, however, citizens of Virginia are far from exempt from the effects of substance abuse. It's a worldwide issue and, sadly, members of most communities are feeling the impact. This is what makes finding addiction treatment in or near Virginia so important.
Overdose Statistics in Virginia
In 2017, there were 1,241 deaths caused by drug overdoses in the state of Virginia. During the same year, 404 prescription opioid-related deaths were reported.
According to the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), "fatal drug overdose has been the leading method of unnatural death in Virginia since 2013". Thousands of people visited the emergency department for opioid-related issues in 2018. There were 1,301 emergency department visits due to heroin overdoses. There were 7,323 visits as a result of opioid overdoses.
There is Hope for Recovery
There is some positive news concerning drug overdoses and fatalities, however. Between 2017 and 2018, there was a slight decrease in overdose-related deaths. The VDH reported a 3.4% decrease.
However, the goal is to make sure individuals who suffer from substance abuse and addiction get the help they need before it's too late. That's why professional treatment centers such as ours here at Crest View Recovery Center are here.
There is hope for those who are struggling with alcoholism, opioid dependence, or any other type of substance use disorder. Through a professional approach to treatment, individuals can find this hope.
About Crest View Recovery Center
Located in the lovely state of North Carolina, not too far from Virginia, our treatment center is here to help! Here at Crest View Recovery Center (CVRC), we offer our clients the best of care and guidance.
We provide inpatient (residential) treatment to help our clients who may need an intensive care program. An inpatient program offers people the opportunity to get help away from home. This provides individuals with continued support and around-the-clock care. So, individuals who may live in the Virginia area but need help overcoming addiction might benefit from our inpatient program. It will enable each one to get the attention and guidance necessary in order to end substance abuse.
Perhaps you live in Virginia but you do not have a great support system around you. Without a good amount of support, it will be very challenging for you to overcome substance abuse. This is where a professional inpatient program comes in! Thankfully, we offer this option right here at CVRC.
Also, we offer an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Through this approach to addiction treatment, our clients can continue to engage in various therapeutic approaches. Addiction therapy methods help people to develop healthy ways to deal with the challenges of life, both during and after treatment. Individuals in recovery can gain relapse prevention skills, which can help them to maintain long-term sobriety.
Our outpatient program is also beneficial. It provides our clients with the tools they need in order to continue through recovery. But, in doing so, this program also allows patients to live outside of our treatment center. This helps to make the transition from life in treatment to life outside of rehab much easier.
Contact CVRC Today To Begin Your Recovery Journey!
Here at Crest View Recovery Center, we're dedicated to helping people find total freedom from addiction. So, if you're looking for addiction treatment near Virginia, please give us a call. We're ready and willing to help you through your recovery. Just call (866) 327-2505 today!

Mark Zuckerberg spoke at a Harvard graduation where one of his points was that finding our purpose in life is not good enough - especially for the so-called Millenials. (Read here)
Today I want to talk about purpose. But I'm not here to give you the
standard commencement about finding your purpose. We're millennials.
We'll try to do that instinctively. Instead, I'm here to tell you
finding your purpose isn't enough. The challenge for our generation is
creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.
If I look at the places where I work as a church minister, I think that is a pretty good analysis. In a country where unemployment is high, purpose is hard to find for a lot of people. Telling them to 'catch a wake up' and find purpose in their lives is not helpful. They are too disillusioned and often not adequately prepared by their education and upbringing to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, even if opportunities did exist . But asking those who have momentum and are progressing successfully through life to help create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose is meaningful.
It is the old fashioned Christian idea of taking the focus off 'me' and putting it onto 'you' or others. Yes, I want to understand that I have a reason for existing, a benefit to offer - but I also want to insist that you should have a reason for being and if that reason seems to be denied by society, something needs to change.
There is this idea of purpose and meta-purpose which sounds pretty profound - if I could just figure out what it means!
Practically, I want to challenge the young people in the confirmation class to find purpose in looking to the needs of others. To learn to be empathetic. To be active in helping. And possibly they will discover that sometimes the need of others is to find purpose. Then they can invite these others to join them on the journey.

SA Big Shot Blog Hop: Buttons #5
Afraid you are going to miss something? Don't worry, you can find the full list with links here.
I will be featuring the Buttons #5 die. I love this little gem, you can do so many things with it! I love to use buttons, but I don't always want the bulk, or frankly, the expense on something I know will not be kept. So my solution is to make paper buttons :)
The idea for this card came to me while I was driving to work and passed a field of round bales. I thought "OMG I can make round bales with my button die!" Yes, I really did think OMG. Lame I know... welcome to my mind. It's kind of scary in here ;) The scene was really easy to color with my blender pen and I added a little Moonlight Accent Ink on the clouds. OK, so it is a little much on a masculine card, but I don't care :-p I also used a texture plate on the second layer of River Rock and stamped the wheat in River Rock in the lower corner. I figure I can use this for any occasion for a guy.
And I had to make a button snowman! He is missing arms, but the points of the square button kind of look like elbows, so does that count? And his tiny hat is actually the 4 petal Itty Bitty Shapes punch with one petal cut off.
This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I had to make something for the hop remembering this, so I came up with this Votive Candle Boat. This is not a new idea, but a bit of a forgotten one lately.
Don't the buttons make a cute way to secure the ends together?
Well, did I achieve inspiration for you? Leave me a comment. I live for comments ;)
Now, on with the show! Go check out what Cindy does with the Stocking die- she is one "die-namic" lady, isn't she?!

Could Obama Be A One-Term President? Absolutely.
Fox News has a rather sensational story in which Rush Limbaugh lambasts President Obama. In the story, which reads more like an opinion piece in awkard third person (the Czar finds editorial use of the third person a poor writing gimmick), Limbaugh proclaims that Mr. Obama will be a one-term president.
The Czar, first off, hopes that President Obama is not a three-term-plus President, and otherwise acknowledges that this leaves either a one-term option or a two-term option.
Certainly, the possibility exists that the President may be limited to a single term. The Czar started to see signs of a conservative backlash many months ago among the general public.
More recently, even liberal polls conclude that conservativism is on a major upswing, with liberals now only 20% or less of the population.
No doubt the reader is aware that a Republican candidate for a New York congressional seat, Dede Scozzafava, has been hurled out of the race in favor of a far more conservative candidate, Dan Hoffman. Scozzafava has been accused of being too liberal, and indeed, she has endorsed the Democratic candidate, Bill Owens, in order to seal her fate as a political non-entity.
Although the MSM keeps interpreting this as the long-awaited proof of a self-destructive rift in the Republican Party, the reality is simply that conservatives are no longer accepting blurred-party line politics. Either support conservative principles, or you are finished. The only political infighting that remains, of course, is within the Democractic Party.
Either support conservative principles, or you are finished. The only political infighting that remains, of course, is within the Democractic Party.More proof of the forthcoming right cross is the New Jersey governors race; while not a slam-dunk win for the GOP, incumbent Democratic governor John Corzine was nearly blown over by the wave of support for Republican challenger Christopher Christie.
In Virginia, Democratic incumbent Creigh Deeds is scrambling to recover from a surge of popularity for Republican challenger Robert McDonnell.
In Illinois, the Republicans are looking to capitalize on the corruption of Democrat Rod Blagojevic and weakness of replacement Pat Quinn.
Heck, in Wisconsin, a recent poll manipulated by the Volgi showed that Republican Tommy Thompson was the states clear choice for governor, and he isnt even running.
2010 could easily sustain the wave of anti-liberal nausea that washed across American in 2009, particularly as November and December politics play out. If the Democrats continue to soil themselves on a national platform as they have been doing, and if Republicans indeed overturn Democrats in gubernatorial elections, this will only fuel the displeasure most Americans clearly seem to be feeling. Harry Reid is certainly not the only congressional player who will be working at a Sonic drive-through in 2011: the GOP will see significant gains next year.
And this brings us to the big enchilada (which Sonic does not sell, although the jalapeño poppers are good)2012s presidential race. The GOP is pacing themselves well, the Czar believes. Some key names are starting to emerge, but no clear leader is stepping forward yet in order to avoid the liberal character assassinations that will surely and inevitably follow. Once Congress has dumped itself of as many Democrats as it can (the Czar expects few if any Republicans will be voted out) in 2010, the clear candidates will emerge.
Without doubt, the Obama administration has suffered a miserable first year. Little of note was accomplished either domestically or internationally. Mistakes blatantly outweight any successes, and most successes are followed by an asteriskeither because it was a Bush initiative that Obama continued, or because the numbers are not agreed upon.
If the President continues to operate in such an underwhelming and disappointing fashion, and if the Congress can purge itself into conservativism in 2010, and if the Republicans can find a conservative leader (sorry Senator McCain; maverick was seen as too liberal), then yes: Barack Obama is certain to be a one-term President.
But while those are a lot of ifs, they are hardly reaching. So far, all signs are pointing very strongly down those lines. But Obama presently has enough popularity and momentum that charitable Americans may agree to throw him a bone of a second chance. Liberals and Democrats both are counting on this: they expect the perpetual campaigner Obama to step up and work his magic over another gullible and fearful populace. This time, though, the populace appears pissed off and smarter. While the Democrats are thinking Bill Clinton, the country seems to be thinking Jimmy Carter.
Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.

As you may or may not know, Tom Jax & Associates real estate company owns more than 140 acres of land in northern New York State. The untouched land was purchased in early 2001 from an unnamed party, and it was intended to be used for environmental conservation purposes as wildlife protected land. However, over the years, much of the acreage has been sold to commercial and residential building developers for various projects and quite sizable sums of money.
Last week, our partner company JVDV Real Estate bought 10 acres of land in Albany from us to build their new office location. After an impressive year of sales, JVDV is expanding operations into more cities. Building designs have already been completed and approved by the local government. PFMA Construction Management is coordinating with JVDV Real Estate to prepare for construction of the main building and stand-alone units, which begins on November 1st. They have also contracted well-known Albany paving services to lay the asphalt for the commercial parking lot. The initial layer of pavement will be installed first so that service vehicles can move in and out of the development property with ease. After construction is complete, the paving contractor will mill the road and add the final layers of asphalt to finish the parking lot.
The building is expected to take a minimum of 3 months based on the number of workers on assignment. The project is being managed by Jim Kapuchin, an experienced construction manager and developer. Please join Tom Jax & Associates in congratulating JVDV real estate on their rapid expansion. To grow from a single realtor to a team of 27 agents in less than 2 years is unheard of and certainly more than noteworthy. JVDV is in great hands, and we look forward to partnering on projects again in the future.

Dee Milliner stayed positive despite struggles; named league's defensive rookie of month
Dee Milliner had no doubts, even though others did.
The Jets' rookie cornerback remained even-keeled through all his struggles, refusing to believe that he wasn't worthy of the ninth overall draft selection.
Each week brought a host of new challenges for the former Alabama star. He was a man on an island, forced to keep pace within the Jets' defensive system and win each one of his one-on-one battles. Rex Ryan's defense changes for no man, especially a rookie. But despite being burned for multiple touchdowns in 13 games and being benched three times, Milliner remained confident about his ability and his future.
"I can be as good as I want to be. I can be the best. I can be No. 1," the cornerback told Newsday just days before the regular-season finale in Miami. "That's what you want to be anyway. So I'm going to continue to try to do that. And hopefully one day I will become that."
Milliner took a step in the right direction Thursday when he was named the NFL's defensive rookie of the month for December. He is the second Jet in a row to win the award; defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson was named the top defensive rookie in November.
On Tuesday, Milliner was named the AFC's defensive player of the week after recording four tackles, two interceptions and five passes defensed in the Jets' 20-7 victory over the Dolphins, a win that knocked Miami out of playoff contention and earned the Jets an 8-8 finish.
Milliner, who tied for the AFC lead in interceptions in December with three, is only the second Jets rookie to win defensive player of the week honors since 1984 (safety Russell Carter, Week 15).
Ryan was heavily criticized for declaring the Jets' 2013 draft class "A-plus" in the midst of a three-game losing streak, just days after he benched Milliner and rookie quarterback Geno Smith in a Week 13 loss to the Dolphins. But despite the well-publicized struggles of Milliner, Smith and rookie left guard Brian Winters, Ryan now might feel somewhat vindicated after the Jets' .500 finish.
Like his coach, Richardson has no doubt this rookie class has the potential to be A-plus.
"I do," said Richardson, who made a strong case for being in contention for defensive rookie of the year honors with 77 tackles and 31/2 sacks. "A fullback, a few linemen, a corner that's finally producing . . . .
"As of late, everyone's having upside. So the future's bright for us," added Richardson, who also had two rushing touchdowns. "Guys just have to have a productive offseason, don't get too lazy and have too much fun. But we're most definitely going to be in a better position to win next year."
Milliner was unable to participate in the Jets' rookie minicamp and OTAs because of offseason shoulder surgery and was a late arrival to training camp because of a contract impasse.
He also was hampered by various injuries throughout the season, which slowed his progress. But in the final weeks, he began to show signs of promise.
"You're going through a lot your rookie year -- especially me," Milliner said with a smile. "I went through a lot of troubles and rough times here and there. But you can show a lot of growth [in his second season]."
So is this the Dee Milliner that Jets fans can expect to see at the start of 2014?
"You can say that," he said. "Because in the beginning of the season, I saw so much stuff that was new to me and now I'm adjusting to it. I think I'm getting a grasp of it. So next year, you can see a different side of me."

In 1949, a fifteen-year-old kid named Robert Moog pieced together a theremin, touching off a lifelong obsession with music engineering. Two decades later, the now Dr. Moog (the chronically mispronounced name rhymes with "vogue") invented the Minimoog Model D, the classic synthesizer whose cool tones shaped the sound of the Beatles' Abbey Road, created a career path for psych-rock bands like Yes and Pink Floyd, and provided the inspiration for most of the regrettable music of the early 1980s.
Moog's influence is so far reaching, he also helped a little-known quintet from Budapest find a band name. But these wide-eyed Hungarians aren't trendy dance-punkers who rely on keyboards to cover a lack of inspiration -- they're a straight-ahead rock and roll act, owing more to The Hives than to Electric Light Orchestra. "We didn't just woke [sic] up one day and say, 'We're gonna play American rock and roll,'" says frontman Tonyo. "But that's what's coming out of us."
As you read this, the boys in Moog are on the road, touring America for the first time, in support of their new record Sold For Tomorrow which streets on April 7. "It's a dream coming true," says Tonyo. "It's the dreams of living that one can see in the movies and everybody is talking about how a band is touring. Girls and drugs, you know."
This song is no longer available. Please visit The Moog's MySpace page to hear even more music.

Hi lovelies,
January passed so quickly, with a lot of works and no relaxation at all. This year we had to skip holidays: no skiing at all, my heart is broken but we have to pay a lot because of our flat (tax) and furnitures. We have ordered our beautiful bed (damn expensive but healthy sleep is the most important), which is not here yet, but hopefully in February.
So Charity: most of the people dominate only at Christmas time, while it is not just only at these times would be necessary. I try to find one issues in each months and this January few bloggers and a Charity Service advertised #nemluxustaska aka #notaluxurybag campaign, which is to giveaway a bag with some beauty, makeup and cleansing stuff, which I just happy to join.
I have made an order at Feelunique.com to replace some of my MAC products from my decluttering last time. I have a budget, so I usually do smaller hauls on the way to become totally cruelty free
Urban Decay: All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray, Eyeshadow Primer Potion (Anti-Aging), Troublemaker Mascara and Perversion Mascara all in travel size to try them out.
Hello JO: Bright Eyes Jelly Masks: it is a Korean (or might just lookalike) vegan skin care startup. I love under eye patches, specially the caffeine ones due to my dark under eye. I have just tried, but love the smell, the packaging.
Gifts: Philip Kingsley Weatherproof hairspray as it is 60 ml it is a pretty decent amount, I believe it is a works for a longwearing styling effect, so hopefully will work. antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask I have not tried yet, but I believe it is a cleaning and moutrising mask.
I hope you have enjoyed this little post, keep waiting for my regrets to buy.

Waldoboro is a town in Lincoln County, Maine, in the United States. The population was 5,154 at the 2020 census.[5] Waldoboro was incorporated in 1773 and developed a reputation as a ship building and port facility from the banks of the Medomak River. The town's strong agricultural and fishing legacy continues today, with recently renewed enthusiasm for traditional natural fiber production, cheesemaking, farm brewing, fermentation, soapmaking, and other lost agrarian arts.[6] Waldoboro is becoming a popular destination with miles of scenic river frontage, a thriving arts community, and historical interest in its past as a German settlement.
In 1629 the area that would become Waldoboro was granted to John Beauchamp of London and Thomas Leverett of Boston, England, and was known as the Muscongus Patent.[7] The patent lay dormant until 1719 when Leverett's great-grandson, John Leverett, President of Harvard College, revived the ancient claim and formed the Lincolnshire Proprietors, also known as the Ten Proprietors, so named for the ten shares distributed, one to each member. General Samuel Waldo of Boston acquired a controlling interest in the patent in 1729 and it henceforward become known as the Waldo Patent.[8][9]
First called Broad Bay, the village was settled between 1733 and 1740, but suffered a devastating attack as part of the Northeast Coast Campaign (1746) by Native Americans allied with New France during King George's War. Houses were burned and inhabitants killed or carried away as captives. Survivors fled to the nearby settlements of St. George or Pemaquid. Peace returned with the 1748 Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle.[10]
In 1752–1753, Samuel Waldo, son of the general Jonathan Waldo, visited Germany and recruited about 1,500 immigrants to Waldoboro on the ship Lydia. Some were followers of Martin Luther and Huldrych Zwingli but they did not immigrate for religious reasons like the Pilgrims but for "...increasing their worldly goods.",[11] most from the Rhineland.[citation needed] Waldo hired Sebastian Zouberbuhler as an agent. Many settled on the western side of Broad Bay, although in 1763–1764 the land was claimed under the Pemaquid Patent. About 300 residents moved to the Moravian settlements in what is now Forsyth County, North Carolina, but the remainder bought their properties. On June 29, 1773, the township was incorporated as Waldoborough, named for the original proprietor.[10][2][3]
Waldoboro became county seat of Lincoln County in 1786, but the designation would shift to Wiscasset in 1880. Farms produced hay and potatoes. The Knox and Lincoln Railroad arrived and spurred the town's development. Industries would include an iron foundry, an oakum mill, a carding and cloth-dressing mill, a grain mill, sawmills and planing mills, furniture and molding mills, a door, sash and blind factory, and a carriage factory. There were also marble and granite yards and a pottery. But ship building was the principal business, with eight large vessels built in 1880.[12] During the 19th century Maine became famous for its great shipbuilding center. Waldoboro was the launching port for the Governor Ames in 1888, the first five masted schooner.[13] The Governor Ames was built in Waldoboro's Leavitt Storer Shipyard.[14] A port of entry, the town features an 1857 custom house designed by Ammi B. Young.
Waldoboro is also known for the Waldoboro style of hooked rugs,[15] the Waldoboro green neck turnip,[16] Moody's Diner and Morse's Sauerkraut,[17] and Fawcetts Toy Museum.[18]

Bloody Foundations: A Grace and Poppy Adventure
Bloody Foundations: A Grace and Poppy Adventure is a fantasy story by Grady J. Gratt, who has made it available as a free digital audiobook.
In a world where magic is real and monsters lurk in the shadows, the only hope people have for saviors are a pair of janitors. They're not too pleased about it either, but they have experience in cleaning up messes
Grace West: A general all around disappointment to her family, now making ends meet with a combination of crime scene cleaning and house flipping. She is as surprised as anyone to be making money from this unhealthy combination.
Winterdawn "Poppy" Strongwill: A former child hero in the Fantastical world and now a full-time burnout, trying to live off the magical grid. Making do with a police station janitor job by day and reality TV shows and take out food at night.
Unfortunately for our reluctant heroes the Fantastical World is a mess. Mythical monsters are running amuck, amoral wizards are experimenting on innocents, and one of the worst kinds of trouble is about to crash into their quiet little worlds.
Emma is a golem, an unstopable monster made of clay. For an extra kick the fiend that made her used clay created with the ashes taken from the ovens of Dachau. Emma is set on a "holy" mission, to reclaim artifacts stolen from the victims of the Holocaust camps. Unfortunately she does this by killing everyone and anyone in her way, regarless of innocence, and in the most brutal ways possible.
Grace and Poppy are drawn into Emma's orbit by the grisely murders of close friends. Knowing that they are the only ones who have a chance of stopping the monster, Grace and Poppy need to face their own demons and become the heroes that this world desperatley needs.
And they better do it fast, because Emma does not stop, she does not forgive, and every second she's getting closer…

Who's Nina?
Well, I was born and raised in the south of Germany. My mum, who is originally from Panama, is the most awesome and strongest woman I've ever met. I love her so much and I'm grateful for everything she's done for me. Yep, that's her and me in the pictures 🙂
Aside from spending time writing for my blog, I'm a book-loving nerd and yogini, following a whole-food plant-based diet (check out and follow my mouth-watering vegan treats & healthy bites pinterest board!).
It's more likely that you'll see me hanging out in a relaxed coffeeshop wearing a comfy hoody, ripped jeans and chucks than dressed up. Probably reading a thick book with a cup of ginger lemon tea or good coffee right next to me.
Traveling and discovering beautiful destinations around the globe are really important to me, and I'm lucky enough to spend a lot of time now in Dubai, which is a great travel hub. Whenever I'm out and about, you'll catch me documenting my trip; photography and videography are two of my favorite hobbies!
Most of the times, I'm a happy person feeling at ease and consider myself fortunate with how well things turned out in my life. That wasn't always the case.
What does 'A gorgeous Soul' mean?
A lot of people have lost touch with themselves in this hectic and stressful environment, they forgot their real mission in this world. They barely take a moment to reflect on the true purpose of their lives or to be grateful and instead take everything for granted. I was one of them. But before I dig deeper into my past, let me quickly explain the meaning of 'A gorgeous Soul':
'A gorgeous Soul' stands for the journey of finding your true self and creating a smashingly beautiful life full of happiness, inner strength, and amazing relationships.
Mindfulness, self-love and a healthy lifestyle are the magical ingredients that'll help you succeed.
How did I reach that conclusion? Read on, my friend…
How I learned to let go and to move on
Although I grew up as a Catholic, I don't consider myself a religious but a spiritual person. I do believe that there is a power greater than us which I call God; others might call it the Universe or differently.
Having been raised in a culturally mixed household shaped my personality big time and gave me some interesting insights: I learned from a very young age about not fitting in and know the feeling of not belonging to any kind of social circle too well.
Due to being different and other personal problems, I developed some self-destructive behavior over time. In my early 20's, this led to too much drinking, a lot of crying, and having toxic people around me, who pretended to care for me only to let me down, when I needed them most. On top of that, I really struggled with society's stereotypes on how women should behave, look like and what they should accomplish.
In 2011/2012, I hit rock bottom. My parents finally divorced, which got me close to a depression, really stressed and anxious (although the divorce was definitely for the best). This took me to the point where I knew I had to change something.
I started to read a lot of self-help books and sought help from a therapist. I learned to concentrate on mindful practices, to surround myself with like-minded individuals and to implement a healthier lifestyle. I also began to follow and study the lives of inspiring women, who stood up/still stand up for themselves and empower other women. All this took me several years. The most important lesson I learned so far is that everybody can achieve to live a happy, fulfilled and balanced life and to feel in sync with oneself.
Do you also want to create a life you love?
Pretending to be someone to fit in and hiding your true self only leads to feeling miserable. To comply with our materialist culture doesn't ultimately lead to happiness. Meeting societal expectations is not important at all and evaluating your well-being/ success/ achievements by your rank in the social hierarchy won't truly fulfill you.
What matters is simple: Being your true self, being surrounded by loved ones, finding your purpose and living up to it, health, kindness, gratitude, compassion, generosity, happiness and choosing love. None can be bought and we're all worthy of 'em despite our imperfections. We simply need to show up every day and be ready to put a lot of work into our mindful transformation.
I'm going to help you getting there with all my heart and soul by creating and providing remarkable, relevant and insightful content.
Nope, I'm not an expert but a student and life taught me a serious bunch of lessons. I'm learning each and every day and I'll continue doing so. Maybe we have some challenges in common, maybe you find yourself in a similar situation. I'd love to support you in any way I can.
My mindful lifestyle blog also features 'worldly topics' such as travel, food and yoga. I hope they serve as inspiration for your own life. I want to empower you to love yourself as you are: Let's treat ourselves with dignity and respect, care for our wellbeing, accept our bodies, embrace our sexuality and be confident enough to reach for our goals & dreams!
I believe that we're gonna be good friends and travel partners on each other's mindful lifestyle journey, that hopefully takes us each day a bit closer to being the most gorgeous souls 🙂 Can't wait!

It's hard to sell a product without the proper marketing, and 2018 was full of buzzy campaigns that captivated consumers' attention. As per its usual history, Nike disrupted the scene with controversial figures and matter-of-fact statements, while Yeezy relied on the power of social media and his wife's fame to draw attention. Meanwhile, Payless tricked a lot of people with its luxury pop-up scheme.
Read on below to revisit some of the most memorable marketing campaigns of the year.
Nike x Colin Kaepernick
Nike dominated a lot of conversation this year with its marketing, especially its ads featuring ex-NFL star Colin Kaepernick. For the 30th anniversary of the brand's "Just Do It" campaign, Nike featured an image of Kaepernick with the words: "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything." The images were rolled out on Instagram and billboards around the country, and several individuals and celebrities threw their support behind Nike for standing behind the activist, including LeBron James, Jenifer Lewis and Serena Williams. However, it also sparked criticisms as a few Nike fans turned to destroying product as a means of protest, while some commentators stated that the company is using Kaepernick's call for social justice as simply another means for profit.
Reebok by Pyer Moss, "American Also"
Pyer Moss founder Kerby Jean-Raymond has had a year. He nabbed first place for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award, and he took home FN's Collaboration of the Year honor after his fall '18 and spring '19 shows generated a whirlwind of buzz around his socially conscious lifestyle brand. To mark the release of the Reebok by Pyer Moss collection this fall, the label released a series of videos and images under the campaign, "American Also," which paid tribute to underrepresented groups of African-Americans in the country. His subjects, including political commentator Angela Rye and educator Valencia D. Clay, among others, shared snippets of their experience and stories, all while dressed in Reebok-branded palazzo pants, tracksuits and the collaborative Daytona Experiment sneakers.
Yeezy Season 6
In the beginning of the year, Kanye West did what he has come to be known for doing best: stirring the pot on social media. To show off his Yeezy Season 6 collection, he skipped a traditional runway show and substituted models for Kim Kardashian. A gang of Kardashian family and friends dressed up exactly like the 38-year-old (including her then platinum-colored tresses) and flooded Instagram with images of "Kim clones" casually doing things while wearing Yeezy. Kylie Jenner, Paris Hilton and Jordyn Woods were among the celebrities in on the promo.
Payless "Palessi" Pop-Up
Payless created a fake luxury store, Palessi, and pulled a shoe stunt on some unsuspecting fashion influencers and customers. The company took over a former Armani store in Los Angeles and invited guests to a launch party where they previewed "designer" shoes priced as high as $600. Some individuals made purchases, and the brand reportedly raked in over $3,000 in sales before spilling the beans about the hoax. The surprised reactions of the customers were recorded and are being used in TV ads on Bravo and Lifetime.
Balenciaga's Staged Paparazzi
Similar in approach to the Yeezy Season 6 marketing concept, Balenciaga's Demna Gvasalia staged entertaining photos perfect for the Instagram age. The creative director selected various models, including Alek Wek and Stella Tennant, and had them photographed while leaving Balenciaga stores in Paris (along Avenue Montaigne and Rue Saint-Honoré, to be exact). Not only were the subjects convincing as annoyed celebrities in a rush to avoid the cameras, but Gvasalia even selected actual paparazzi to shoot the campaign.

These simple basic rules will help you not to screw up in a pintxo bar.
- Smoking inside bars is prohibited in the Basque Country. If you cannot resist a cigarette, wait until you finish your pintxo and your drink.
- Don't drop the used serviettes to the floor. This unpleasant habit is unfortunately still deeply rooted among local citizens. Most of the bars already have bins inside the establishment to throw their napkins, or you can also leave them on the same bar counter or on your plate, so that the waiter can pick it up.
- Do not take a big plate to fill it with pintxos. Pintxos is not a buffet! Some bars will offer you a large plate to fill it with a good handful of pintxos. Actually, this is only done with tourists. Request the pintxos one at a time. It is the best way to discover the authentic atmosphere of pintxos in San Sebastián. If the bar doesn't let you do this, go to another bar!
- Pay when you leave and be honest with what you have consumed. Some bars have acquired the habit of requesting payment when serving the pintxos or drink, but this form goes against the tradition of a pintxos crawl. There is a relationship of honesty between client and barman in which the client, at the end of his consumption, declares to the waiter the pintxos and drinks he has taken to make the bill and pay.

A mirrored tree hotel in the village of Harads, Sweden near the Arctic Circle. The cabin for two people includes a double bed, a small bath room, a living room and a roof terrace. Access to the cabin is by a rope bridge connected to the next tree. Six cabins are planned to meet the interest in eco-architecturual tourism, managed by a nearby hotel, the Brittas Pensionat.
A shelter up in the trees; a lightweight aluminium structure hung around a tree trunk, a 4×4×4 meters box clad in mirrored glass. The exterior reflects the surroundings and the sky, creating a camouflaged refuge. The interior is all made of plywood and the windows give a 360 degree view of the surroundings.
The construction also alludes to how man relates to nature, how we use high tech materials and products when exploring remote places in harsh climates (Gore-tex, Kevlar, composite materials, light weight tents etc).
To prevent birds colliding with the reflective glass, a transparent ultraviolet colour is laminated into the glass panes which are visible for birds only.

Ferrari F150 - new 2011 Formula 1 car
by IKE 28-Jan-2011 17:52
Ferrari was the first team to launch their 2011 car today in Maranello. The new F150 is a conceptual evolution of previous year F10 with all the necessary changes demanded by the new F1 rules. As usual in F1 car launches at this time of the season the cars carry simplified or outdated front and rear wings and many aerodynamic details will change until the first 2011 race. The most interesting aspects of the new F150 are hidden inside.---
New rules and more strict crash tests dictate a maximum height of 670mm in the front part of the chassis and the F150 is a bit taller than previous year's F10. You can see in the image below the difference between the new car (right) and the old (left).
Another obvious change is the smaller openings on the sidepods. This could be attributed to the mandatory weight distribution that places more weight at the rear. This affects the complete design of the car and if the –big- radiators are moved backwards the sidepod ducting could be optimized for these smaller openings. Ferrari with MTS and Magnetti Marelli designed an all new system (along) build over the knowledge acquired in 2009 season. The crankshaft is redesigned in order to integrate the KERS components and because of that the lubrication and cooling system is also modified. Batteries, a very heavy component, are placed under the fuel cell, a spaced usually reserved for ballast. The engine has also an updated pneumatic valvetrain in order to avoid the reliability problems of 2010. Ferrari will provide complete engine/KERS packages to Scuderia Toro Rosso and Sauber.
The image above is a comparative planview between the 2010 F10 (above) and the new F150. This is the launch version of F10 where the exhausts were placed in the sidepods although later Ferrari introduced an exhaust blown diffuser. This year with the ban on double diffusers the exhaust ports are blown over the –single and smaller- diffuser. A very clever idea proposed by Craig Scarborough was to stack the exhausts vertically, the one above the diffuser and the other through the allowed small starter motor hole exploiting a loophole and thus introduce flow directly through the diffuser.
The rear wing is mounted on a single central pylon and it incorporates the new for 2011 movable rear wing. Aerodynamic optimization is quite difficult because the wing must perform well in both positions, high and low downforce. Of course it is very premature to make conclusions for the aero package in such an early stage, many things will change or remain still secret.
The rear suspension is a push rod system. With the current regulations there is no obvious advantage for either push or pull configurations. There is a possibility that F150 is equipped with a suspsnsion interlink system that connects not only the front wheel with the rear but also diagonally (front left with rear right etc). This isn't something new in principal but it has to prove its value on track.

Have you ever heard "We Are the Champions," "Another One Bites the Dust," or "We Will Rock You"? Do you know who sings these iconic songs? Some teenagers may not realize that all these songs are performed by the band Queen! The 2018 Academy Award winning film Bohemian Rhapsody, directed by Bryan Singer, depicts the life of Queen's lead singer, Freddie Mercury.
Starring Golden Globe and Oscar winner Rami Malek, the movie begins with the story of how the band formed, and it explores Freddie's life before fame, including his relationship with the love of his life, Mary. The mood was more uplifting in the beginning by showing the success that Queen garnered and the excitement about finally achieving fame. Throughout the movie, readers see the obstacles that Mercury went through to compose music while discovering his sexuality.
Mercury experiences life on the road and eventually learns that money cannot buy happiness. He acknowledges that the other members of the band all have families of their own and that he is all alone. The void of Mary and his bandmates, among other conflicts, leads him to resort to drugs and alcohol to relieve his pain. He eventually gets the devastating news that he has contracted the AIDS virus. Through his journey, Mercury discovers what is really important to him and finally breaks ties with those who hurt him. The movie ends with Queen's performance at the Live Aid concert and leaves people on a somber yet hopeful note.
Movie goers will appreciate this film because it teaches them more about Freddie Mercury's life and captures the details of the time. The vibrant costumes depicting Freddie's style and the concert scenes are sure to captivate all audiences-- not to mention Malek's spot-on portrayal of Mercury. From the mannerisms to the voice (and even the teeth), Malek's performance presented fans with a believable Freddie Mercury.
In addition to Rami Malek's performance, co-stars Ben Hardy, Gwilym Lee, Lucy Boynton, and Joseph Mazzello show how the relationships between the band members changed as they experienced fame.
Bohemian Rhapsody has introduced millions of people to who Freddie Mercury was and has caused his spirit to live on. In Rami Malek's words, "Thank you to Freddie Mercury… I love you, you beautiful man!"

De Minimis Aid
De minimis aid (provided by NCBJ through the Park) is a simplified form of support aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises. According to the EU laws, an enterprise is an entity engaged in economic activity, including individuals and companies.
In case of the Park, de minimis aid is based on providing free-of-charge services related to the Park's infrastructure, which would require payment otherwise (on the market). Examples are: using office and laboratory space, research services, as well as legal aid in launching and operating an enterprise (including protection of intellectual property, commercialization etc.).
After a positive examination of the application, an agreement regarding the extent of the aid is signed. NCBJ provides the aid non-profit, which means, that the enterprise doesn't have to pay for using the infrastructure. The only charge may be the operation costs, for example media or used materials, or cost of services that are not available in the Park, but are provided by NCBJ.
From the enterprise's point of view, the procedure of the aid is also advantageous, since complicated studies of feasibility and financial analysis are not needed. Required documents consist only of a few pages of simple forms and declarations. The future user of the Park's services can count on our staff, which will help to fill out the forms correctly.
The combined size of de minimis aid obtained by an enterprise during the current fiscal year and two years prior cannot exceed 200 000 €. It is worth noting, that de minimis aid is present in various forms, often including a non-refundable grant. To determine whether the Park can aid the enterprise, one needs to sum up values of all the aid from the given period of time. These values can be found on the certificates/attestations obtained by the enterprise.

Yesterday, Jay "WhoJedi" Newnum finally broke the silence regarding his alleged theft of $700 of dealers tip money whilst working in the Foxwoods Poker Room sometime over the Christmas period.
Jay Newnum has been an incredibly popular poker blogger, reporter and photographer for many years representing the WSOP. He has been involved in many tournaments throughout the years and has worked in some of the world's most well known casinos.
However, he did not really talk about the incident directly and wanted to make it clear that he is against the backlash that has been taking place against the Dealers Union President Billy Shea who made the incident public via FaceBook.
He stated that he had now spoken to Billy "Local 2121" Shea over the phone and that he had apologised for all of the harassment that he had suffered since breaking the story. He also wanted to make it clear that he has absolutely no animosity against Shea and that he now plans to leave the poker world.
Newnum released a statement via his blog at www.whojedi.com saying this:
"First, let me say that it hasn't been easy to stay silent.
The Foxwoods Mega Stack Challenge ended early in the morning on December 16th. After flying home that same day, I agreed that I would not discuss anything with anyone.
I have honored and will continue to honor that commitment, but in light of third-party reports and the subsequent reactions, I wanted to make this limited statement.
I would like to address the negative reaction against certain third parties, particularly Billy Shea, the union president who originally posted the story.
I want to state clearly that any negative reaction against him or attacks against his character has not been condoned by me.
Yesterday, I called Mr. Shea personally. We spoke at length, not about what he had posted, but instead about the reactions from the community. I hold no ill will against him, as he simply did what he felt he needed to do as union president. It was a great conversation with Billy and I do appreciate him taking the time to speak with me.
I have spent a decade as part of the poker community, and have truly come to appreciate this game and the family of people in it.
That being said, it seems for the best that I step away from the poker world indefinitely. I do want to say thank you to my family and my friends, both inside and outside of poker, who have been incredibly supportive during this time.
Finally, even though I won't be a part of the poker world for now, I'll still be rooting for the industry to continue to grow, expand, and improve, in all the ways that we know it can.
Jay Newnum"

Army acquires ruggedized combat computer tablets
Notebook-maker Getac is partnering with Trivalent to offer NSA-certified security on combat tablets.
The U.S. Army has ordered nearby 10,000 new F110 G3 rugged computer tablets designed to transmit combat-relevant information in high-threat environments.
The notebooks are made by Getac, a firm which has announced a partnership with Trivalent, which makes security software.
By partnering with Trivalent, Getac hopes to offer enhanced security technology to the Army through a NSA-certified data protection technology. The software incorporates Data Alchemy, a program designed to render the data unusable by any unauthorized party.
Trivalent uses an encryption and shredding approach as a way to secure storage on a device or in the cloud.
The move to acquire Getac tablets is part of a Pentagon-wide effort to acquire and integrate more quickly commercial technology. The idea, DOD developers explain, is to keep pace with rapidly evolving technology and ensure that government developed products are not obsolete by the time they become operational.
The F110 offers what could be an interim solution to fill a temporary void for the Army, because the service has several tablet-like technologies in development over the next few years. One of them is called "Nett Warrior," a hand-held display for commanders in combat showing moving digital maps, graphic icons and other fast-changing battlefield data.
Nett Warrior uses an emerging Army technology known as Joint Battle Command – Platform, a next-generation force tracking systems for both vehicles and dismounted units on the move; it represents the developmental trajectory sought by the Army which seeks to integrate advanced software for its emerging systems. The idea is to develop systems based on IP standards so they can quickly be upgraded as innovations occur.
In keeping with the commercial tech emphasis, the Army has chosen the F110, a mobile tablet which uses 4GB of RAM, Windows 10 and an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor. It also uses a smart card and barcode reader along with a fingerprint scanner and GPS technology.
The F110 also features an 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 display with LumiBond 2.0, which allows for a sunlight-viewable touchscreen panel that can be operated with gloves on.

Emi Harrison has avoided her ex-fiance, Jack Cabot, for nearly two years. Her twin brother Evan's wedding is about to end that streak.
From bad bridesmaid's dresses, a hyperactive sister-in-law, a mean girl with even meaner secrets, and too much to drink, nothing seems to go right for Emi, except when she's wearing her little gray dress.
When she speed-walks into Liam Jaxon's bar, things get more complicated. He's gorgeous, southern, and has no past with Emi. He may be exactly what she needs to prove for the last time that she doesn't need or want Jack!
Her favorite little gray dress has made an appearance at nearly every major event in Emi's adult life. Will it make another grand appearance when she least expects it? (synopsis courtesy of Amazon)
I really appreciated Emi. She's beautifully flawed, a byproduct of life – (it has a way of doing that to a person, even when it's least expected). And she's had a tough road the last two years, a life void of any companionship or romance. Even when she tries to put herself out there, in the end no one ever measures up to what she had with Jack.
While I felt the premise of the story, how Emi's brother is marrying Jack's sister, thus forcing Emi and Jack to somehow try to coexist in the same space for a few days could be considered a little far-fetched, I really liked it. I think it brought on a whole new level of tension for everyone involved. Emi has a past with both Jack and his sister, and it hasn't always been on good terms. Then you throw in the rest of his family, plus Emi's best friend, it's just this gigantic stew that's begging to be stirred up into one frenzy after another.
Liam becomes a much-needed distraction from everything going on. A hint that maybe it's finally time for Emi to move on, to grow from the past and stop being so cynical about love. Or maybe he can be her own little weapon in making Jack a tad jealous. Hey, a girl can dream.
I really love the way we're privy to Emi's present; her brother's wedding, the run-in with Liam, the uncomfortable, awkward moments with Jack. And then we're transported back to her past; how she met Jack, their first date, their first fight, and eventually the break up. There were a lot of parallels between the relationship she had back then with Jack, and the events that are happening in the present time. It really was a unique perspective on how eventually, everything will come full circle, even the things you'd rather leave buried away in the past.
