I find it interesting to hear responses when I tell people I've been brewing my own beer (and I tell a lot of people). Common first responses include "Why?" (because I can), "How?" (with my secret recipes), "Where?" (at the official MNB headquarters in the ATL) but the much better and fairly frequent response is to hear some great story about some horrible home brew they've tried before. It seems that almost everyone has had a friend, relative, fraternity brother, or ex-spouse who has brewed a few home brewskies. The majority of these stories go something to the effect of "Oh yeah, I had a friend/relative/frat brother who used to brew some beers. he made me taste it and I just about puked/vomited/depledged". While there are the rare great home brew stories (in all seriousness I talked to a guy last week whose wife is a chemist who wooed him over with her homebrews on the first date…that's some kind of woman there) it seems that the negative home brew experiences are ever so prevalent.
The basic cause for these numerous botched brews that no one should ever have to experience boils down to essentially two reasons: lack of precision/cleanliness and an over-zealous creative flare. While I'm by no means claiming that we gents at MNB are masters of anything, we have attempted to minimize our blunders by avoiding the aforementioned pitfalls (although some would argue that our christ as brew aka "liquid tree" was over the top). This past weekend I had the privilege of witnessing the convergence of these two blunders at their best in what I am calling the ultimate frat brew. On Saturday afternoon we went to see Bob the brewmaster. Bob sells beer ingredients, helps you with recipes, brews a lot, and drinks even more. On any given saturday you'll find Bob in the store tasting numerous beers brewed by beginners such as we. Bob tried 3 of our most recent brews, said we were coming along, and shared a few additional tips for some of the brews. We felt like we'd just gotten the gold star from the first grade teacher. The next group up to share their beer with Bob was a few fraternity brothers from an esteemed local university. They were excited because they felt like they were on to something amazing, something that would change the brewing world and change lives – they called it the Whisky Porter – I call it the ultimate frat brew. These brave gents began to detail to Bob their process. It started by brewing their best porter with the highest alcohol content (understood, they like high gravity beers), followed by a primary fermentation, then the addition of wood chips and finally a half handle of Maker's Mark Whisky. That's right, whisky. They pulled out their bottle and poured a glass for bob and offered me one as well. I respectfully declined due to concerns with their bottle sanitization (if anyone offers you a home brew with the previous brands paper label fully intact you can be sure they did not wash their bottles and some funky bacteria will mean a) you'll get sick, b) the beer will taste really bad, or c) both a and b will occur). As Bob gently sipped the drink he was speechless for a moment. He muttered a few words about it being "way over the top" and something about "I generally like my beer to taste like beer, not whisky" and a few other constructive criticisms. Somehow the frat boys couldn't believe that he wasn't so impressed with it. I certainly couldn't help but laugh inside. I respect their willingness to push the proverbial limits of alcohol while having no sense of sanitization but I also realize how many unfortunate souls will attempt to drink the Whisky Porter and will forever be scarred and forever pessimistic about the art of home brew. At least they'll have a good story to tell when they run into people like me.

Principality's Bridgend branch celebrates 50 years in the community
Principality Building Society's branch at the heart of Bridgend's town centre is celebrating its 50th anniversary since it first opened its doors to customers.
The branch officially opened at 28 Caroline Street in July 1968 and has been serving the local community as Wales' largest building society ever since.
To celebrate the special occasion, staff greeted Members who came in to branch over the weekend with birthday cake and a glass of fizz, while male youth choir Only Boys Aloud entertained guests.
Steve Hughes, Chief Executive of Principality Building Society, said: "The 50th anniversary of our Bridgend branch marks Principality's commitment to the high street and it remains an important part of what we offer our members in terms of service and choice. We need our Members to continue to use us, recommend us and help our branches and the communities they represent prosper.
"Principality has always believed in trusted, face-to-face service, allowing us to get to know our loyal customers. From those who have been with us for 50 years, to those who opened an account today. We've got fantastic Members in Bridgend who we look forward to seeing come into the branch regularly. Here's to the next 50 years." Principality currently serves almost 11,000 Members in Bridgend and more than 500,000 across Wales and England. Councillor John McCarthy, Mayor of Bridgend County Borough, added: "The branch has been a familiar sight in Bridgend town centre for 50 years, and I was delighted to attend this milestone anniversary event.
"I wish them every success as they continue to serve customers throughout Bridgend County Borough."

Now you might not be able to tell from these blog posts, but I am a huge sports fan. I just figured it wouldn't be interesting for everyone to hear my talk about how much I love Philadelphia sports so much, so I've refrained.
But not anymore.
One of Alex and my favorite memories is spending the weekend in Washington D.C. for the Phillies-Nationals series (I should probably phrase that Nationals-Phillies but no one actually likes the Nationals so, it's okay). It's a relaxing vacation in a town that you can walk everywhere to get to, the stadium has a cool outdoor bar with cornhole and a band, and the town is PACKED with Phillies fans. Seriously, the Mummers will come in and perform, everyone is dressed in their Phillies gear… Washington D.C. turns into Philadelphia.
So imagine my surprise when the Nationals decided to block anyone from outside Washington, Virginia and Maryland from buying tickets to the Phillies-Nationals series. Nationals chief operating officer Andy was quoted saying "Forget you, Philly. This is our park, this is our town, these are our fans, and it's our time right now." He's called the series "Take Back the Park," mainly because during games Phillies fans like to chant things like "Our House." Can you blame us? We're the only ones that actually go to Nationals games. It's our summer house. Get over it, Feffer.
Feffer has been trying to stir up this imaginary rivalry for years and it's such a joke. They bought Jayson Werth for an insane amount of money after we chewed him up and spit him out, now they're coming after more of our washed up old junkers in an attempt to make us jealous or something. Now they're trying to ban us from our mini-vacations? Please, Feffer.
The Nationals are an embarrassment of a team. They have a pile of scrub players and a terrible, nearly non-existent fan base. We are the Philadelphia Phillies. Lets be serious, if we are banned from the Nationals stadium we'll go watch them play… anywhere else! Because any game is a good game when you're watching the Phillies play.
So good luck filling your seats, Nats. I'll laugh from my comfy spot at Citizens Bank Park.

This is a quick post reviewing three books that I read while on the beach. Lots of reading … that's part of my down time. And not a professional book in the bunch.
First, A Conspiracy of Faith is the third book in the Department Q mystery series by writer Jussi Adler-Olsen and his Danish main detective, Carl Mørck, is back better than ever with his grumpy personality and keen insights into solving crimes. This book is more sprawling than the other two, but that is not a bad thing. Adler-Olsen weaves a rich tapestry of stories and characters, and while you know who is the antagonist, the thrill is in watching Carl Mørck solve what is going on. In this book, the mystery involves a serial killer who targets strict religious sects and Mørck is racing against time to save two children who have been kidnapped. This was a perfect summer read for me.
Second, Love is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield is one of those unexpected surprises. While I read Sheffield regularly in Rolling Stone magazine for his witty pop culture views, this is the first book of his that I have read. It's lovely, really, telling the story of how he fell in love with his first wife, married her and then was suddenly adrift when she died of a brain clot in 1997. Lovely, as in sad but powerful, particularly as Sheffield weaves in their collective love of music and pop culture. And for anyone who ever made or received a mix tape in the 1990s (my hand is raised), Sheffield's insights into why those collections mattered and what they said about us had me reconsidering music in new ways. Each chapter starts with song titles of a mix tape that Sheffield dissects in the glow of his wife, and then, the music is what finally helps him grapple with the loss and begin to take steps forward into life. I really loved this book, and now am on the hunt to get his latest.
Third, The Second Mouse by Archer Mayer is another mystery. Here is a book that I did not bring with me, but ran out of reading material (panic!) and scoured the bookshelf of the summer house we were renting to see if anything might pique my interest. I have read about Mayer before because he sets many of his stories in southern Vermont, not far from where I live. I gave this novel a try and liked it. Mayer's main character, Joe Gunther, is another detective with gut instincts and here, while piecing together the death of a young woman, he uncovers a larger crime. Standard crime fiction, in many ways, but Gunther is a likeable lead character and Mayer does use setting to his advantage here. I was glad that it was the shelf, and returned it when I was done for someone else to enjoy.
Peace (in the review),

Resize Your Embroidered Logo?
Changing the size of an embroidered design is easy right? No! Sometimes a logo can be adjusted 10-20% but usually an embroidered design needs to be redigitied when a significant size change is necessary. For example, lets say you have a logo that's set-up for custom embroidered hats. Some of the text is small but the logo looks good. Can it be resized for a visor? Most likely not. Although the width for a hat design is the same as a visor the height isn't. While a hat design is 2" high a visor is only 1" high. Unless your hat logo is 1" high or less you won't be able to resize the log for visors without making adjustments such as eliminating small text and other unessential details.

Teachers are already allowed to carry in classrooms. What did you see?
Just saw Aron Bright (Coach) on WTHR supporting the bill to allow teachers to carry in classrooms. Great Job Aron! Bill passed through committee on an 8-2 vote.
Teachers are already allowed to carry in classrooms. What did you see?
Kirk Freeman, INGO's Dennis Miller of gun culture references
Im sorry but this bill makes no sense whatsoever as it stands now. Teachers are already allowed to carry if they get school board approval. Now they just added they have to get training on top of that. This bill is crap.
Thanks. That's the one I was looking for.
i posted in the other thread. but if they would let me carry at work[school] id pay for it if they would not
at my local school im a custodian, i have 2 brother in laws, sister in law that work in the same school. the 2 brother in laws and mother in law also drive bus at the same school. we have 10 of the 13 kids go to the schools k to 10, i would do everything i can to stop some one that was a danger. a few yrs ago the school started training a few unnamed teachers but the public and lawyers stooped it. i told the rso [current leo hired by the school] id be interested in carrying on 2nd [ i was on 2nd then now first] and he in the works but probably would not happen. i would love to be able to carry at work, at least i can have it in my truck legally now. if i could carry at work i would pay out of my pocket if thats what it took.
We hate when taxes are used to fund programs... unless it's a program we like.
Kirk's right - firearm training should be tax deductible.
Also, arming teachers should be done at the district level - the door is already open, so now we need to work on getting pro-2A board members and superintendents. What the GA can do is remove the prohibition of common folks carrying on school ground. We need to change the mindset that declaring schools a GFZ makes them safer - which is obviously a fallacy.

text: So pubs want to hear Arab-American voices, while being obstructionist and accusing the President of being a Muslim who wants to destroy the country all at the same time… Yeah makes perfect sense. Time for pubs to get off their high-horse and realize Trump represents the best of the Republican Party. Accusing Trump for ISIS propaganda is a joke. There is no legitimate reason for anything terrorist Muslims do in the name of their religion or GOD. I'm pretty sure their profit is looking down on them in shame. They should stop hiding behind him for their heinous acts on society, because he wouldn't support it.

No, this isn't in reference to the political tell-all that's been in the news lately, and thank God for that.
Let me begin here: I was sitting at the computer the other day, casting around for an idea for a blog post. Nothing was forthcoming. I literally stared at a blank screen for I don't know how long.
Inevitably, I started goofing off out of sheer boredom. Facebook, Pinterest, Youtube. I suddenly had an idea. No, not for a blog post. But I could listen to the new U2 album on Youtube. Does anyone even listen to "albums" anymore? U2 fans of a certain age do. And used to be, I had to save up my pennies to buy that new CD. Now I can listen to an entire album for free on my computer. Ah, progress!
Anyway, as I listened to "Songs of Experience", I started to get a sinking feeling. I didn't like it. Usually, it takes a few listenings for me to get the feel of an album, but I have to at least recognize some kind of affinity for me to listen a second time, and a third, etc. It was like that for their previous album, "Songs of Innocence", and I ended up loving that album. But "Songs of Experience", the "companion" album to Innocence, left me definitely unimpressed.
This isn't a review of that album. I didn't like it; let's leave it at that. It's been hit or miss for me with this band for several years now, maybe decades, and I was left wondering: what happened to the band of my youth?
Well, Tina, they got older, just like you.
Okay, but what does that mean? Does it mean they should hang it up? That Bono should just concentrate on his activism, which is a worthy and noble undertaking? Because it pains me to see this group put out mediocre work (Yes, I have very high standards. Don't blame me, they set the bar).
Is Rock'n'Roll dead? Yes, in a world now dominated by pop, rap, and whatever the hell else they're calling music these days, I fear it's true. (Do I sound ornery? I sound ornery.) And that breaks this Gen Xer's heart to the very core. All we can do is look back, because no one can seem to capture the magic anymore. Even those acts that did work the magic back in the day. They've lost something. What is it?
Well, youth, obviously. But also the main ingredient that comes with it (besides freshness and intensity and raw urgency): anger. Fire and fury. And the energy to scream (sing) about it at the top of their lungs. I'm thinking about Boy and October. I'm thinking about War and Unforgettable Fire, and Joshua Tree.
Remember Alannis Morissette? That was one pissed off bitch. Where is she now? If I had to guess, she's baking cookies for the PTO.
Not that we (people over 40, just so we're clear) don't still get angry. I can honestly say that I've felt more rage in the last decade of my life than I ever felt in the first three put together. But it's a different sort of rage. It's more of an internal thing than at the wider world (though there's that, too, especially now).
Or maybe the anger is the same, but we're different. We simply don't have the time to indulge in unadulterated rage. Because there's runny noses to wipe, and bills to pay, and doctor appointments to get to, and aging parents to take care of, and marriages to tend. Anger has to be set aside, because there's shit to get done. It's not about you and your disaffected anger anymore.
Yeah, growing up sucks. It can be boring.
And honestly, you get tired. You can't sustain anger over a long period of time; you'll burn out. In youth, the flame energizes and inspires you, because that's all you have. In the later years, it simply burns you. It might even kill you.
Bono understood that he couldn't just sing about injustice. He had to take action. Walk the walk. And you can't meet with world leaders and start yelling about how unfair everything is. You have to cultivate patience, and understanding, and perseverance. You have to be willing to compromise, to choose between the lesser of two evils, sometimes. In youth, there was no gray areas, only black and white, and compromise meant you gave up. Evil was evil, period. But after life runs you over a couple of times (or a couple dozen), the fire gets stamped out. Hopefully humbleness replaces the anger. If you're lucky, gratefulness replaces the fury. At least enough to balance out the cynicism.
One of the things I loved about U2 was that underneath all that youthful discontent, they held onto hope. Their faith had a lot to do with that, and I admired it. I think it's sustained them for 30-plus years. Is it better to burn out than to fade away? I'm not so sure. Let's ask the 27-Club: Jimi, Jim, Janis, Curt, Amy. Oh yeah, we can't. They died before they got old.
Maybe maturity makes for boring music. But not always. I find it interesting that I loved "Songs of Innocence", when U2 wrote about growing up in Ireland, but "Songs of Experience", presumably about their older selves, left me cold.
Tell me about when you burned, when life was a flame that set you on fire. That's where the energy is. That's where the magic is.

Level 1 Contributor
Overall my stay was nice. The check-in was easy, clerk at check-in on 1/25 at 7pm was extremely nice and helpful, room was clean, bed was comfy, water was hot, a/c/heat unit worked perfectly, and housekeeping cleaned daily. The only improvements I would make is the breakfast was just okay, the elevator needs to be updated, the key card at entrance door for overnight needs to be fixed and the staff should have on name tags. Other than those things the hotel is pretty good for the price. The location is great with easy access to mostly all of your needs (food, grocery, 24hr urgent care, convenient store, etc...)
Best place to be caught in a Hurricane!! The staff is so awesome and helpful. I was concerned about the flooding during my evacuation and the staff was comforting and assured they would do the best for us during Harvey's emergency
evacuation. I felt home there and the staff became my family!! When I come to
Houston I will always stay there.
Nice one.

Flawed response to incursions
September 9, 2009
The Pioneer - September 9, 2009
by Claude Arpi
Incursions by the Chinese Army into Indian territory are making headlines in
the media again. This is good. Not because the Chinese persist with
trespassing into Indian territory, but because media coverage brings to
light such disturbing happenings. Instinctively, not to say genetically,
India's political leadership prefers to hide the truth, to not "hurt our
Chinese neighbours' feelings" or "makes things worse".
Keeping with India's diplomatic tradition, Foreign Minister SM Krishna said
after recent incidents of Chinese incursion, "With China, I think the
boundary has been one of the most peaceful. So, there is no issue on that."
He added that there "is a built-in mechanism which is in place and which
takes care of such incursions. India has so far acted with restraint,
maintaining that the Line of Actual Control with China is not very well
We could ask the question: Why is the LAC not well defined? What is the
point of successive National Security Advisers meeting their Chinese
counterparts (they have met on 13 occasions since 2003) if they are not even
able to define an 'actual' line? Apart from the fact that it proves the
insincerity of the Chinese who are not ready to take the first step to calm
the tensions, the exercise seems a waste of public money.
This time, the Army has had the courage to acknowledge the facts. The Army
chief, Gen Deepak Kapoor, has admitted that New Delhi lodged a protest with
Beijing following the incursion by a Chinese helicopter into Indian
territory and the painting of some rocks along the presumptive LAC in red.
According to reports in the media, "the army is gathering evidence from the
spots where Chinese troops had painted the rocks red". What does 'gathering
evidence' mean? Does it imply that the Army is not aware of what is
happening on the LAC? If true, it is a serious and worrying lapse. This
reluctance of India's politicians and officials to acknowledge the truth is
not new. It is probably a genetic feature of the Indian Foreign Service.
In May, when I spent some time in Munsyari, the last town before the
India-Tibet border in the Kumaon Hills, I located the 'historian' of the
area. Till the 1962 War, this tehsil used to be the main centre for business
with western Tibet. Most of the Bhotias, the local tribe, lived on trade.
Caravans used to depart from Milam, a village in Johar Valley, north of
Munsyari, and proceed to the trade markets around the Kailash-Mansarovar
The old 'historian' told me a story which flabbergasted me. A gentleman
native to the area, called Lakshman Singh Jangpangi, had joined the Foreign
Service in the 1940s as a senior accountant posted at the Indian Trade Mart
of Gartok, east of Kailash. In 1946, he was promoted to the important post
of British Trade Agent. When India became independent, he continued to serve
in the same position till he was transferred to Yatung in 1959.
I was told that Jangpangi, who from Gartok had a panoramic view of what was
going on in western Tibet, had informed his Minister (Jawaharlal Nehru) that
the Chinese had started to build on the arid Aksai Chin plateau. That was in
1951-52. Crossing the Indian territory, the road only became the address for
official correspondence with the Chinese Government seven years later. It
was finally debated in Parliament in 1959. Probably, the Government did not
want to 'hurt Chinese sentiments'; or it believed that the issue would be
solved with the passage of time.
The most ironic part of the story is that Jangpangi was awarded the first
Padma Shri given to a Kumaoni 'for his meritorious services'. Was it for
breaking the news or for having kept quiet? We will probably never know.
Today, if a courageous historian requests the Government to declassify the
relevant file, he will be quoted Article 8 (1) (a) of the Right to
Information Act: "There shall be no obligation to give any citizen,
information, disclosure of which would prejudicially affect the sovereignty
and integrity of India, the security, strategic, scientific or economic
interests of the state."
Incursions by the Chinese continued in the 1950s in Garwal (Barahoti),
Himachal Pradesh (Shipki-la) and then spread to Ladakh and NEFA. Mao's
regime could have only felt encouraged by the Government of India's feeble
complaints. New Delhi was probably satisfied with its seasonal protests and
the immediate denials by Beijing. Hundreds of such complaints have been
recorded in the 14 Volumes of the White Papers published from 1959 to 1965
by the Ministry of External Affairs.
A telling incident is worth recalling. In September 1956, a group of 20
Chinese soldiers crossed over Shipki-la pass into Himachal Pradesh. A
27-member Border Security Force team met the Chinese the same day. The BSF
team was told by a Chinese officer that he had been instructed to patrol
right up to Hupsang Khad (four miles south of Shipki-la, the acknowledged
border pass under the Panchsheel Agreement).
However, the BSF team was advised "to avoid an armed clash but not yield to
the Chinese troops". New Delhi did not quite know how to react. A few days
later, Nehru wrote to the Foreign Secretary, "I agree with (your) suggestion
... it would not be desirable for this question to be raised in the Lok
Sabha at the present stage".
The policy of the Government of India was to remain silent on this issue and
eventually mention it 'informally' to Chinese officials. Finally, the
Ministry of External Affairs informed Beijing: "The Government of India is
pained and surprised at this conduct of the Chinese commanding officer."
That was 53 years ago. Is the situation any different today?
There is another irony. The Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir, Mr Omar
Abdullah, has said that India has the right to respond: "It is our right to
respond in case of ceasefire violations." Of course, he was speaking about
Pakistan and the other corner of his State. He would not have dared to use
these words with China.
It is rather depressing. I have an Indian friend, knowledgeable in defence
matters, who always tells me that one should not worry, that genes can
evolve, even Darwin had said so. Is it just a matter of one or two
generations before Indians get to acquire Chinese genes? Let us see.

ModernTribe Best of the Jewish Web
Wednesday! Blog roll, please...
Wednesday! Blog roll, please...
Congratulations Michael W. and his mother who have won the Cool Mamalah's Call-Your-Mother Gift Box!
Here is what Michael says about his mom:
My mother would truly love this gift box tremendously - I would love to even purchase one for her for Mother's Day. My mother was only able to have one natural child (my oldest sister) and adopted three others, and treated all four kids like they were their very own blood and none differently than the others. My mother has stuck by me and supported me all my life, albeit in times when she may have found it difficult to hold her tongue, she allowed me to fail in a way that got me to straighten up and fly right. She treats my wife like a true daughter and member of the family - and puts up with all the guff and never says a bad word about it. I remember as a young boy growing up in a reform jewish home, that whenever her father would come to visit from Chicago, all the pork products would have to be hidden so he wouldnt find them. And she was such an excellent cook and baker, and even had a lock on her freezer door to keep her children from eating all the goodies she would make in advance for parties and such. She is still a trip, I am glad she is still with us, and miss her dearly between visits.
She deserves to be remember every day, not just on Mother's Day :)

When the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga (then Aiko Yoshinaga) was a senior at Los Angeles High School.
She remembers the day the following spring that her principal took the Japanese students aside and said, "You're not getting your diplomas because your people bombed Pearl Harbor."
Japanese-American families on the West Coast were rounded up and sent to internment camps. Yoshinaga was worried that she would be separated from her boyfriend, so to the horror of her parents, Yoshinaga and her boyfriend eloped.
The Yoshinaga family was sent to the Santa Anita, Calif., detention center, and later to Jerome, Ark. Meanwhile, Yoshinaga and her new in-laws were sent to Manzanar, near Death Valley. Yoshinaga remembers their first day as hot and dusty, even though it was only April. The barracks where the family lived were crowded and sparsely decorated.
"The only thing that was in the 'apartments' when we got there were army metal beds with the springs on it, and a potbellied stove in the middle of the room," Herzig-Yoshinaga says. "That was the only thing. No chest of drawers, no nothing, no curtains on the windows. It was the barest of the bare."
She remembers being given a canvas bag and being told to fill it with hay for use as a makeshift mattress.
"In my case, I had never even had sex before I went into the camp. And trying to make love on a noisy, hay-filled canvas bag was just a joke!" she says.
The families eventually created room dividers out of sheets and began making a life in the Manzanar War Relocation Center. Yoshinaga gave birth to her daughter in the camp.
Not long after, she received word from her family in Arkansas that her father was gravely ill. Yoshinaga requested a transfer of camps and traveled, with the child her family had never met, to Arkansas.
"As we were pulling into the camp, [an] ambulance was taking my father to the hospital," she said. "So I grabbed my daughter and went to see him. And that was the one and only time he got to see her because he died sometime after that."
Her father died before the Japanese were freed from the camps. Yoshinaga says that it was years before she questioned the legality of the internment camps and detention centers.
It wasn't until she was living in Washington, D.C., with her third husband, Jack Herzig, that she started looking into her family's personal history in the camps. Her research broadened and she joined the redress effort, working to bring reparations to Japanese-Americans who lived in the camps.
In the course of her research, she discovered a report which quoted a government official saying that there was no national security reason for incarcerating the Japanese-Americans during the war.
"I think until then, it was mostly like, 'You know this was just an honest mistake that we put these people into camps,' " says Martha Nakagawa, who helped process Herzig-Yoshinaga's papers into the library at the University of California, Los Angeles.
"Without Aiko, the passage of the redress bill would not have gone as smoothly," she says. "It would have been difficult to prove that the government had done any wrongdoing."
The Civil Liberties Act of 1988 was signed by President Ronald Reagan, who said that it was a mistake for the government to incarcerate Japanese-Americans without trial during the war. It awarded victims and their families $20,000 and, perhaps more importantly, an apology.
At 92, Herzig-Yoshinaga now lives in Los Angeles — the place her family called home before they were forced out. She eventually did get her high school diploma, and her suburban home is filled with pictures of loved ones.
But she also has a black-and-white photo on her dining room wall of a jagged mountain landscape. In the foreground are rows and rows of barracks and barbed wire fences that made up the Manzanar War Relocation Center.
She says she worries now, when she hears people talk about creating a registry for all Muslims in the United States.
"We haven't learned from all these lessons!" she says. "It's happened once, and unless you are careful it could happen again."
NPR's Katrina Alarkon contributed to this story.
On this day 75 years ago, a breaking news flash shook the nation.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin. The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, by air, President Roosevelt has just announced.
INSKEEP: Now, on today's program, we're hearing the voices of survivors of that attack who recall it 75 years later. Next up, we meet a woman who was in California on that day in 1941. Her name is Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga. She's Japanese-American. NPR's Lauren Migaki visited her in Los Angeles one recent afternoon.
AIKO HERZIG-YOSHINAGA: Hello.
LAUREN MIGAKI, BYLINE: Hello, hi.
HERZIG-YOSHINAGA: Come in.
MIGAKI: When you walk into Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga's home, you walk into the arms of her family. Photos of her kids and grandkids are everywhere.
HERZIG-YOSHINAGA: You can tell I got a big family.
MIGAKI: At 92, Aiko's a tiny woman - thin with wiry, white hair. In her younger years, she was a force in the movement to get reparations for the Japanese-Americans who spent years living in internment camps. The story begins after Pearl Harbor, in the spring of 1942. Seniors in high school, Aiko and her boyfriend were in love and just months away from graduating.
HERZIG-YOSHINAGA: The principal called us in and said, you're not going to get your diplomas because your people bombed Pearl Harbor, as if we were the cause. I thought, what the [expletive], you know?
MIGAKI: Word spread quickly. Japanese families would be rounded up and sent to internment camps. Afraid of losing her high school sweetheart, she made a rash decision.
HERZIG-YOSHINAGA: I didn't know what the heck I was doing, but we eloped, so I went with his family. To no end, my family was so upset about that.
MIGAKI: Her family was sent to Arkansas while Aiko and her new in-laws were sent to Manzanar in California. There, the barracks were crowded, amenities spare. A canvas bag stuffed with hay was a makeshift mattress. But they tried to put a life together the best they could.
HERZIG-YOSHINAGA: In my case, I had never even had sex. And trying to make - make love on a noisy, hay-filled canvas bag was just a joke.
MIGAKI: Aiko's daughter was born in the camp. At the time, Aiko didn't question the legality of rounding up U.S. citizens because of their race. But decades later, she grew curious and then obsessed. She poured over archival documents from that period and eventually discovered a key piece of evidence - a report with an explosive admission by a government official saying there wasn't a military reason for interning Japanese-Americans. Martha Nakagawa worked with the University of California Los Angeles to collect Aiko's research.
MARTHA NAKAGAWA: Without Aiko, the passage of the redress bill would not have gone as smoothly. It would have been difficult to prove that the government had done any wrongdoing.
MIGAKI: That bill, the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, was signed by President Ronald Reagan.
RONALD REAGAN: My fellow Americans, we gather here today to right a grave wrong.
MIGAKI: Japanese families receive $20,000 and an apology from the U.S. government. These days, Aiko says she hears echoes from the past. She's troubled by the rhetoric aimed at minorities and wonders whether there's potential for it to escalate.
HERZIG-YOSHINAGA: Same thing - we haven't learned from all these lessons. It's happened once, and unless you are careful, it could happen again.
MIGAKI: Seventy-five years later, it's a lesson that hangs prominently in Aiko's home, where a black and white photo of Manzanar displays rows and rows of barracks surrounded by barbed wire. Lauren Migaki, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

I cannot remember the last time I ate fast food. I think it was four years ago, and I went inside. I appreciate the reminders of what I am missing.
My biggest complaint has been dealing with foreign call centers. Any suggestion as to how to circumvent? Second question is the savings factor. How much are corporations saving by having these centers and annoying people?
Do not suggest the website, since they are poorly designed and never seem to address the concern that I have.
Thanks for the help. I will be dealing with the letter I got from our local hospital that informs me that regrettably my personal information has again been compromised. The CEO administrator promises to improve their "SECURITY POSTURE". It is reassuring to know that the breech occurred last year and includes all identifying information as well as medical records.
I kinda like it! Sounds like "one of those days" and the OP summarized it perfectly!

Foreign call centers.
Yep. I learned a long time ago that East Texan and East Indian dialects are not compatible.
On one especially frustrating call I was calling out a string of letters and numbers. The help desk person kept getting one wrong. Admittedly it was probably due as much to my sometimes quite thick accent and drawl. But after several tries I finally said "no, P as in Pneumonia"
Total silence on the line for several seconds.

[Slight thread drift]
East Texas does have its own unique accent, totally unlike the rest of Texas. I spent my formative years growing up in East Texas (Longview, Marshall, Texarkana), in the late 1950's early 1960's.
Fast forward 50 years, I met a member at a new (to me) range in Wilhoit AZ, and before he said 3 words I said "you're from East Texas, aren't you". Turned out we both lived in Texarkana at the same time, and went to the same church.

I remember about 10 years ago my parents had moved into a new house and Dad was in the process of having his cable service hooked up . He picked up the cordless phone and walked outside to call COX Cable . A few minutes later we heard him yell " Dammit ! Does anybody there speak English ? " . My sister ran outside to take over before he lost his shit completely .
When my Dad was in his mid-80's, he had to call his local (NH) internet provider for some internet connection issues. The non-local phone support wanted him to ensure the jello cable was plugged in. Not being computer cable savvy they were clueless what he was talking about. After being on the phone for a while they eventually figured out he was talking about the yellow cable. He really enjoyed telling that story.

They save a LOT because they don't pay them anything much so the call centers in India make their money by selling your information to Nigeria.

-Bomber Harris
The ones that are funny to me are when you get an obviously East Indian call taker who says his name is Dave (or Frank, or Bob). Sometimes you can't even understand them pronouncing their "name".

Bolton (1981) - A member of the velox group. O. ankhu is closest related to Ocymyrmex velox and shares most of its diagnostic characters. However, ankhu is more or less uniformly coloured and has the body pilosity reddish brown. In velox the body is conspicuously tricoloured and the hairs are usually white.

Little is known about the biology of this species but a few species of Ocymyrmex have been studied in some detail. From this we can form some ideas about the biology of the genus as a whole. The following is summarized from Bolton and Marsh (1989). More details can also be found on the Ocymyrmex genus page.
Arnold (1916) observed that Ocymyrmex species with which he was acquainted nested in the ground in hot arid areas. The nests themselves went very deep into the ground, usually in loose sandy soil, and had a crater-like entrance. The ants used their well-developed psammophores to carry soil particles excavated from the nests. Recently both Marsh and Robertson (pers. comm.) have observed that workers of Ocymyrmex fortior close the nest entrance with small stones during periods of nest inactivity. Also, in Zimbabwe, fortior workers have been seen adding small stones to the crater-like nest entrance that were picked up from the ground some distance away from the nest. Species are now known which nest in very rocky soil and the nests may extend through the bedrock itself, necessitating the use of a large crowbar to expose the nest-chambers (H. Robertson, pers. comm.). Careful excavations of nests in well-structured sandy soil by one of us (Marsh) have revealed a simple nest structure. For example, nests of foreli typically have one entrance that opens into a vertical tunnel which terminates in a broad chamber at a depth of about 30 cm. Other brood and food chambers branch off from the tunnel at various intermediate levels. In most nest excavations the ergatoid queen was discovered near the bottom of the nest. In very unstructured loose sand, such as in the dry river beds of the Namib Desert, the tunnels and chambers of Ocymyrmex nests followed the root systems of shrubs and trees, and the major tunnel was therefore not necessarily vertical. Colonies of Ocymyrmex range in size from 200 to 1000 individuals (Marsh, 1987).
Other general aspects of their biology include workers that move rapidly, erratically, and are often active during the hottest part of the day. Specifics of their diet seem to vary by species but can include seeds and insects. For most species where queens are known they are worker-like ergatiod forms that are nonetheless clearly a morphologically distinct caste, as opposed to many intercaste ergatiods known from other genera that are intermediate between workers and more robust queens. Males of Ocymyrmex are often collected at lights but males associated with conspecific workers and females have rarely been collected.
The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's New General Catalogue, a catalogue of the world's ants.
- ankhu. Ocymyrmex ankhu Bolton, 1981b: 265 (w.q.) ANGOLA.
Unless otherwise noted the text for the remainder of this section is reported from the publication that includes the original description.
Holotype. TL 10.2, HL 2.34, HW 2.35, CI 100, SL 2.30, SI 98, PW 1.50, AL 2.96.
Anterior clypeal margin entire, without a strong median notch flanked by a pair of teeth but only with a tiny erosion of the apron where the weak median clypeal carina runs into it. Maximum diameter of eye 0.42, about 0.18 x HW, the eyes conspicuously failing to break the outline of the sides of the head in full-face view. Sides of head extremely weakly divergent anteriorly, rounding broadly and evenly into the occipital margin which is shallowly convex on each side of a median indentation. Alitrunk in profile with the promesonotum low and very shallowly convex, almost flat dorsally but with the posterior half of the mesonotum sloping more steeply downwards. Propodeal dorsum almost flat, with an exceedingly shallow depression in the surface just in front of the level of the spiracle. Posteriorly the propodeal dorsum rounding broadly and evenly into the shallowly convex declivity. Metapleural lobes low and truncated posteriorly. Petiole in profile large, broadly dome-like and rounded, the anterior peduncle without trace of a ventral process. In dorsal view the petiole node very slightly longer than broad, rounded and with evenly convex sides. Postpetiole in dorsal view broader than long. Base of first gastral tergite no broader than the postpetiole but not constricted to a narrow neck; instead the sides diverge quickly and evenly from the base. Dorsum of head between eyes with faint superficial vestiges of fine and quite dense rugular or costulate sculpture which in places is almost effaced. Ground sculpture absent except for the faintest remnants of a minute superficial reticulation, the surface mostly smooth and glossy and the scattered hair pits quite clearly visible. Occipital region of head mostly smooth but a narrow strip in front of this with feeble transverse sculpture. Pronotal dorsum mostly smooth, with marginal remnants of fine arched rugulae and vestiges of the longitudinally sculptured area between the mesothoracic spiracles just visible. Remainder of dorsal alitrunk very finely and feebly transversely rugulose, with a tendency for the rugulae to fade out centrally. Sides of alitrunk more strongly and more sharply rugulose or costulate, weaker on the pronotal sides than elsewhere. Petiole, postpetiole and gaster unsculptured except for a fine superficial reticulation. Dorsal surfaces of head, alitrunk, petiole and postpetiole with numerous strong reddish brown hairs. Basal half of first gastral tergite hairless but more apically the segment with 1-2 very short, inconspicuous hairs. Colour a uniform rich orange-brown, the gaster very slightly lighter in shade than the head and alitrunk.
Paratypes. TL 9.7-10.2, HL 2.26-2.34, HW 2.22-2.34, CI 97-101, SL 2.22-2.34, SI 95-102, PW 1.40-1.48, AL 2.84-2.92 (7 measured). Maximum diameter of eye 0.42-0.44, about 0.18-0.19 x HW. As holotype.

Pentagram Dream Interpretation
To see an inverted pentagram, signifies conflict, negativity and aggression. It is often associated with Satanism and evil. Are you feeling guilty about something? Alternatively, it represents the physical world. It points to the notion that you may be on the materialistic side.

Clint Mansell = Linkin Park. No, Really!
Exhibit A: Clint Mansell: Stay With Me (The Fountain OST, 2006)
Exhibit B: Linkin Park: Numb (Meteora, 2003)
They are so strangely similar. Though one is "rock"-ish and the other is "classical"-ish the underlying notes, repetition and rhythm share such a very strong resemblance. I wish I knew music theory to be able to analyze these tunes further.
Was Clint Mansell "inspired by" (of all the bands on this planet) Linkin Park??! The possibility completely blows my mind.
PS: (e:boxerboi), I can't wait for your journal. And you know which one! :)

A Letter of Thanks to James!
The event was a HUGE success! We ran out of saliva kits! Nearly 700 people signed up in around 5 hours. If you are still interested in contributing your might to this massive effort against cancer, we are thinking about setting up another recruitment event at the Ride for Roswell event! Watch this space!!!
(e:mike) and (e:libertad), thanks so much for making it! I am so sorry we wrapped it up earlier than we thought - we hardly expected such an enthusiastic response! People were so motivated they dragged their entire teams to sign up! I think I must have consented more than 200 people personally. I feel drunk with happiness that people still believe in honest population research. I swear, I felt my life was worth living when I saw so many people. (e:James), I was delirious when I saw you! Thank you SO MUCH for coming and donating!! You ROCK! m/ :)

Spit for the CURE!!! TOMORROW!!!
We are asking you for a donation of a teensy bit of your saliva and a bit of your time for Cancer Research.
With the help of the saliva you donate, we can pool together information from a large number of people with and without cancer and find answers to the question of why some people get cancer while others don't.
With the help of the questionnaire we send you to fill out, we will try and figure out what kind of lifestyle changes will reduce the risk of cancer.
Though you won't personally benefit from donating your saliva, this is your chance to make a personal difference against cancer!
Your small and personal but incredibly valuable gift to cancer research will go a long long way!!!!
We need more weapons than ever to fight this scourge called cancer! Pitch in and spit it out!!!!
See you all at Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cure at Delaware Park's Rose Garden tomorrow morning!! Comment, drop me an email, post a chat if you have any questions!!
Together, we can research this evil little disease out! :)
Come and spit for the cure!! June 13 (Saturday, 7:00 AM to 1:00PM, Delaware Park Rose Gardens)

Microwave Trouble
... which has made me realize what a shocking amount of dependency I have on my microwave. It's especially disturbing considering I just started using a microwave around three years ago. I remember having had to consult a manual to figure out how the contraption worked the first time I used it.

The Root of the Matter.
Personally, I think no one on this planet should go through their life without getting acquainted with ginger. I was debating the pros and cons of telling her what an awesome seasoning the tiny root makes but I stopped mid-thought when I saw my total bill. I was expecting a bill of less than $10 but I got billed twice the amount:
I would have walked out without making a fuss about any of this but I felt really ridiculous paying $6.46 for a piece of ginger as big as my thumb! I asked her to re-check. She weighed it twice but the total didn't change. One of the managers ambled over and agreed that it was an unreasonable amount to pay for ginger. After what looked like some super-involved physics and computing research, they found that the scale added more than 2lb to everything.
At that point, I should have just left that ginger piece on the counter, asked them for a refund and walked out. Quite unfortunately, however, my frugal shopping senses kicked in. I noticed that I had paid $6.47 for 3 medium tomatoes. I asked them if they could reweigh the other produce on my list.
For some mysterious reason the manager told me: "I will do the tomatoes but I am definitely not doing the onions!" My mind started meandering toward possible reasons. Did he have a massive allergy to onions? Did the peeling and almost psoriatic red onion skins gross him out? Was he psychologically traumatized by the flavour of onions? Why single out onions? Was he French? I was almost ready to pay this extra $10 to know the answer to this conundrum.
Moral of the story: Ginger helps you get some refunds but it can't help you solve elemental mysteries.

The Confessional Carrot and Apple Cake
I really expected some kind of hard sedimentary rock - considering my former eggless ventures but this one sliced pretty easily and didn't stick to the glass.
Though the recipe called for a truckload of butter ( ), quite possibly, this might be the one of the more healthful cakes I have ever eaten.
I tossed in a granny smith, some almonds and peanuts in addition to the carrot so it is slightly on the more-moist side. Oh, and I freaked out last minute about using only oatmeal flour so I tossed in some toasted bulghur wheat - the fibre value might have gone up 50% because of that. Hehe
According to the label on the package, the hens were apparently running around in a carefree manner eating vegetarian organic poultry feed when they produced the light brown eggs that I bought.
The carrot-tag claimed that they were grown in an "certified" organic environment and the almond-pack says they are from a "green practices" farm. The butter is organic too. The Coop made a killing business out of me yesterday. Hahaha
The oats were packaged and sold by a ubiquitous brand that has a cheruby and probably gouty old man as its mascot. The bulghur wheat is from Lebanon.
The peanuts and apple, unfortunately, didn't have any special qualities listed. I am assuming the spices are pretty generic as well.
As usual, I had no sugar at hand so I used only honey. As a result the cake is very mildly sweet. One slice contains less than 1/2 a teaspoon of honey. If you are looking for a sugar-overload, this is not it.
I think I might be bringing it to the BBQ tonight (is it still on?)
(e:Terry): Less eggs
(e:leetee): More flour.
(e:Paul): Ripe bananas
(e:libertad): More honey
James (I think or was that Robert?): Dates as a binding agent
I love you all. :)

Now I Know...
Posted by Jennifer Evans at 8:13 PM 3 comments:
A Little Cuddle Never Hurt Anyone
So, even as a newborn, Ethan was never one to "cuddle." In fact, I could never even rock him to sleep. What kind of baby doesn't like to be rocked? For Ethan, that means he could not see what was going on around him. He is an observer. It makes it hard for Mom who would love a little cuddle-time once and a while... ok... all the time! Today was really nice. When I got home he was already tired. So he climbed up on my lap and wanted to watch "Signing Time." I put on the new episode "Helping Around the House." He has already learned "sweep" and started to sweep with his child-size broom. So maybe by next week he will learn "wash dishes"... hey, I can dream can't I?

What's Up With This Weather?!
I was so excited about the last three days of sunshine! I just happened to be at work all three days. So, I couldn't wait to wake up this morning. I had a day filled with so many activities for my little guy. He has been sick this week (again!) and the only thing that has made him happy is playing outdoors. You can imagine my dismay when I opened the blinds this morning to find it raining (again!). I still decided to have a great time anyway. Ethan and I played soccer upstairs until I kicked the stuffed soccer ball and knocked down the curtain rod, candle sconces, and several books. Then we played with play dough and Ethan's eyes got really big when I made two balls into ONE! Ahhh, where did the other go? We then chased bubbles. After Ethan decided he didn't want to take a nap I looked outside and the sun was shining! So, we got our puddle jumpers on and walked down to see the horse (which I think recognizes us now) and to the market a few blocks away. I got Ethan some cheese crackers and we sat on the bench outside the store to eat our snack. Then... it began to hail so hard! Ethan signed "rain" which brought me to laugh and say, "Now what do we do?" We sat for about ten minutes and it was getting colder. I was worried about Ethan but he didn't care at all. We walked back in the rain and when I could I would carry Ethan and run a little until the 30 pound load was too heavy. Ethan didn't mind a bit. He could of jumped in puddles, picked up bark, and look at the cars driving by all day long.

Animals To The Rescue
We had a long Sunday this week... but it was fun. We had a great service at church and then came home. I was hoping that Ethan would take a nap before we left for Brittney's birthday party but of course not. Since he was over tired, it was hard to get him out of the house again. The only way I could get him into the car was to say that we were going to see dogs, cats, a bird, and fish. As you can see he was in heaven.

Sea Expedition begins!
Ship's Log
Current Position
Ship Heading & speed
Anchored at Menemsha Bight
12 Nautical Miles
A light breeze from the South
Good evening all!
After leaving the dock, the afternoon progressed nicely from stowing dock lines to retrieving the rescue boat and, after some explaining from many a person in a blue polo, we set the fore and main staysails as we motor-sailed Southeast along Marthas Vineyard. We ate a leisurely meal of spaghetti, garlic bread, mac and cheese and salad and finally anchored for the night in Menemsha Bight off Martha's Vineyard.
As we set the anchor Chief Scientist Chuck told us of this wild land, the same place where some of the scenes of Jaws were filmed. The sunset was a mixture of orange and purple sherbert and as I am typing this, students are settling in for a full nights sleep.

Practical Social-Emotional Learning Strategies to Reduce Adolescent Bullying
Presenter: Matt Pearsall
AMLE Professional and School Members must login to view webinar
Bullying is a pervasive problem among adolescents, but many of the most successful prevention strategies used with younger children just don't work with tweens and teens. Don't despair! In this webinar we will explore what bullying looks like among adolescents and how a focus on social-emotional learning creates a safe and supportive environment, builds strong adult-adolescent relationships, and reduces online and real-world bullying and conflict.
Committee for Children and Second Step
Committee for Children is on a mission to ensure children everywhere can thrive. Since 1979, we've championed the cause of educating the whole child through advocacy, leadership in the field, and social-emotional learning (SEL) and child safety programs. Today, our programs reach over 14 million children in more than 70 countries worldwide. Our flagship Second Step program is rooted in social-emotional learning and helps transform schools into supportive and successful learning environments uniquely equipped to help children thrive. More than just a classroom curriculum, Second Step takes a holistic approach to creating a more empathetic society by providing parents, education professionals, and the larger community with tools to help them take an active role in the social-emotional growth and safety of today's youth. The results are real and palpable. It's a difference you can feel the moment you walk through the doors of a Second Step school—a sense of safety and respect grounded in the social-emotional health and well-being of the entire school community. Learn more at SecondStep.org.

To match the Now and Den Suburban Appeal Paint wallpapers that I believe come in Apartment Life (pictured below).
I have searched this site, standard google, MTS, even TSR and have found many other maxis match floors and walls but I haven't been able to find these. I realize you can use wood paneling to match the bottoms and molding of the walls but I wanted one that matches the colorful part of the wall. I actually even tried to make them myself because I thought cloning off the wallpaper would be easy but I was unable to make a seamless carpet. (I'm extremely new at trying to make anything. And I don't know if I couldn't make it because there isn't a full repeat or if it's just because I was bad at it.)
The walls look like this:
There is also a golden beige one but I didn't know if picturing it would exceed the pic limit. But I'm looking for matching flooring, basically carpet in the pattern of the blue, green and grey parts.
Please and thank you.

Memory game for toddlers - Sesame street - online and free
Play Memory game :
Memory game Sesame street for toddlers
A great Memory game for toddlers with muppets from the famous serie "Sesame street" that young children love to watch! Babies will play with Elmo, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, Oscar the Grouch and many others. They will love this memory game!!!
Sesame street
Sesame street is an American children's television series with a large number of muppets. This classic preschool series renowned for its superb educational content. The series premiered on November 10, 1969. The best known muppets are Elmo (a red monster), Cookie Monster (a blue monster who is addicted to the cookies), Oscar the Grouch (a green creature living in a dustbin), Ernie and Bert (a pair of best friends), Big Bird (a tall yellow bird), Grover (a blue furry monster), Count von Count (a vampire), Prairie Dawn (a young girl), Mr. Snuffleupagus more commonly known as Snuffy (a woolly mammoth, without tusks and with a long thick pointed tail), Abby Cadabby (a pink fairy), the Two-Headed Monster (a light purple monster).
How to play free memory game online for toddlers:
If your baby is too young, he probably doesn't know how to handle the mouse, so we recommend that baby play on a tablet, it will be easier for him!
A game with very few cards, suitable for toodlers. The cards are arranged in 4 columns and 3 rows for a total of 12 cards (6 pairs), but you can change the number of cards on the board thanks to the buttons located below the game. Kids have to make pairs of cards by turning them 2 by 2. If the cards turned face up are the same (a pair) baby win, otherwise the cards are automatically turned face down and baby have to make a new try. The purpose of this game is to find all the pairs in the least moves and in a shortest time.

There are people in your life that are always inspiring, and whose energies charge you with creative thinking. This is exactly how I feel about my friend, exterior decorator John Danzer, who more than anyone else has contributed his creative efforts to extending good design to the outside of the American home. Founder of Munder-Skiles, a firm specializing in the production of historically-inspired and original designs of garden furniture, John was hailed by famed decorator Albert Hadley for integrating "exterior and interior design," and his furniture can be found in the gardens of some of the world's most beautiful homes. While John's language is rooted in the history of American design, he is the citizen of the world and had lived in France, England, and Japan, now splitting his time between the US and Spain. John's lifelong passion for garden furniture and his search into its history lead him to abandon a successful career on Wall Street and to start a business. At his showroom you can find a replica of the garden bench that Thomas Jefferson designed for his home Monticello in Chalottesville, or the bench that George Washington had in his home, Mount Vernon. John's library is full of rare archives, reference books, and antique catalogs that feature historical garden furniture, and his scrapbooks cover every conceivable aspect of outdoor living. Thank you, John for hosting my design tour at your studio (in the photo above) and the showroom of Munder-Skiles, both in Garrison, New York.

This update is only here due to a certain person's pestering for one. Still working on the new code, just finished the MG Pages tonight. Work is very busy so this project will likely continue for a while. When finished, the site will have lots of updates throughout and a minor facelift. Don't look for the new pages yet since everything I'm working on will be uploaded at once when it's all completed. Overall I'm about halfway done.
