Look, I know the man is some sort of literary demi-god. I'm probably too illiterate myself to bother reading one of his books. (Or, maybe, it's just that I don't appreciate his particular genré.) And, sure, he's great friends with Dave Barry. But for an author who (I would hope) reads as much as he writes, this is an ignorant statement.
As John Kerry before him, King makes the crass assumption that only ignorant people end up in the armed forces, serving in Iraq. Once again we see the tolerance of the progressive movement as King insults those who willingly serve their country.
It helped cost Kerry his candidacy. I hope this costs King some sales.
Whatever a person's thoughts or feelings may be about the war with Iraq or the administration in general, insulting our courageous soldiers accomplishes nothing but point out a person's own peculiar prejudices. Man Serves Country = Ignorant Tool of Administration is getting old, people. Too old.
King needs to apologize, quickly, lest he find himself on the receiving end of some less-than-gracious sentiments.

Moving to Luxembourg is a good opportunity to lean about the history. If there is one thing history has taught Luxembourg it is to be adaptable. Its strategic location in the middle of Europe has led to many sieges over the years, particularly in the medieval era. Because of this, one will find many beautiful castles in the Germanic and Latin styles. For the refined pallet, Luxembourg City offers 13 Michelin-starred restaurants and Moselle wines. Here are my three of my favorite things to do in Luxembourg.
Visit Old Town in Luxembourg City
Perched above the city, Old Town grew from a 10th century fortress, spreading across the valley and now connected by a network of bridges. Wenzel Walk will take you on a 2 hour walking tour of the city past all of the historic sections: cobbled streets, towers, churches, and palaces. At the center of town is the Place d'Armes, a charming town square. Explore the Chemin de la Corniche, the promenade looking over the countryside proclaimed 'Europe's most beautiful valley".
Bike the Countryside
One of the most scenic countrysides in all of Europe, the beautiful, green hills have over 640km of marked cycling paths. The country is well connected by a series of trains, which will carry your bike for free if you get tired. With such a small population, the country has produced 4 tour de France winners which speaks for its quality of biking.
Dancing Procession of Echternach
The last running traditional dancing procession in Europe, the Echternach is a sight to behold. People travel from all over the world to watch and participate in this annual affair. Each year, thousands will dance around Luxembourg while waving white handkerchiefs in honor of an English monk Willibrord, Luxembourg's patron saint, who founded Echternach Abbey in 698.
Moving to Luxembourg? Consider I Luv Moving for all your international moving needs.

Chalcots Community Manifesto
Over the past year, North Camden Zone, a local community organising project, has been meeting with people who live on the Chalcots. Together, we've come up with the Chalcots Community Manifesto and nine goals for how the Chalcots could become a stronger, safer, more connected community where everyone's voice is valued, and residents have everything they need to look after their wellbeing and support each other.
To develop this manifesto, we spoke to over 250 people living on the Chalcots about what it's like to live here. You can read that research here.
The Chalcots Community Hack occurred in February 2020, creating 10 innovative ideas for community-led change on the Chalcots Estate. These ideas were put to a public vote for residents of the Chalcots, helping to choose which ideas to focus on for the spring and summer of 2020. Results will be published on this site from 18th March, 2020.
Chalcots Community Action is a community-led systems change project based on the Chalcots Estate in Swiss Cottage. We are working with the residents on the estate to find out their vision for the Chalcots Estate, what residents feel they can contribute to support their neighbours, and what ideas they have to make it a healthier, happier and more connected place. A document called the Chalcots Manifesto will be produced that is community owned, capturing the goals of the community by the end of 2019. The format of the manifesto is yet to be determined but may include film, art and words.
This work builds on the initial consultation of 84 Chalcots residents where issues were raised around isolation particularly of older people, poor mental health, the separation of communities and anti-social behaviour. People indicated that they had an appetite for social action
"We should have neighbourhood events to bring us together and look after each other".
We have employed eight diverse residents including 3 young people as Community Organisers to research what the Chalcots residents think, by interviewing them. We will also hold workshops in the new year to explore more closely the themes that emerge.
We learn what works through action, by testing out resident's ideas for activities and events. We also partnered with Street2Scale to hand out pre-loaded credit cards with £100 to be given to residents. Find our what ideas your neighbours came up with below!
Who We Are
Meet our Community Organisers!
Idil Nunow
I am 18 years old and have lived in Burnham for all my life. I have chosen to become a Community Organiser because I am interested in your views about the estate.
My role in collecting your views and experiences is important, but so is yours as a resident. We will need your help to make things happen on the Chalcots.
Abel Parreira
The Chalcots has been my home for over 25 years. I am a multi-media graduate and have worked on video production, music production, DJing and as a football coach.
I think this is an important project because we all want to have a better and more fulfilling experience in the Chalcots estates and working in my community gives me real pleasure and satisfaction. .
I am 22 and a recent psychology graduate. I currently work as a play worker with children with autism, which I really enjoy. In the future, I would love to start my own business, teach and motivate people, and of course, travel the world!
I have chosen to become a Community Organiser because I love to meet and connect with the amazing people in my community, and make some positive changes, that we can all be involved with.
Maria Emmanouilidou
I am from Greece and work as a SEN teacher at Swiss Cottage School. I primarily help my pupil's learn and acquire skills that can improve the quality of their lives.
As a Community Organiser, I would like to actively help my community become a great place for everyone to live and grow up in. I am willing to strive to address social challenges and set standards in place to implement best practices.
Abdi Kadir Ahmed
I am a father, youth worker, school governor and Restorative Justice panel member. I really enjoy working with people, challenging inequality, breaking down barriers and accelerating social mobility across all communities.
I am a strong believer in social community action, sourcing solutions & advancements within the locality. There is much strength from unity than there is division.
Bridget Higgins
I am a wife, mother and grandmother and trained and worked as a nurse. Living in Bray for over 30 years, I have been actively involved with the Tenants and Residents Association.
My interests are darts, quizzes, jigsaws, voluntary work with the TRA and my Church. I like to help people. When given a task or problem to solve, I will see it through to the end.
Mary-Ann Gilroy
I've lived in Dorney with my family for the last two and a half years. I volunteer with the baby feeding team in Camden and I am a volunteer parent champion.
I am excited to be part of the North Camden Zone project. I can't wait to work together with my neighbours to make our community a better place to live for everyone.
Get involved
Here you will find details about any upcoming or ongoing events and activities open to all Chalcots estate residents.
When and Where
Thursday, 3rd October - Bray TRA room
Wednesday, 9th October - Blashford TRA room
Thursday, 17th October - Dorney TRA room
Thursday, 31st October - Dorney TRA room
Come along to one of our Tea, Cake and Chat events to meet your neighbors, make new friends, and and chat in a friendly space. Bridget and Nassima, your Community Organizers will be there to welcome you.
The events are free to attend for Chalcot's residents from all blocks including older people, children, and parents. There is no need to sigh up, just drop in on the day.
We partnered with Street to Scale to give out £100 pre-loaded cards to Chalcots residents who have a burning idea on how to make Chalcots more connected, healthier and happier. They only needed to express their interest in receiving the card and did not have to tell us their idea before they were awarded the micro-grant.
We also recruited 6 community members as the Board of the initiative. The Board helped us spread the work about the opportunity, recruit the cardhollders as well as decide how the micro-grant will be awarded and evaluate the initiative at the end.
Together they formed the Chalcots Bank which aimed to connect the people of the Chalcots.
Below are some ideas the cardholders came up with!
Bray Community Shelf
Lil, our Cardholder from Bray set up the Bray Community Shelf. This is a mini library resident can access to swap the books they already have to books their neighbours and the local Belsize Library donated. Residents can access it regularly and swap or donate the books they no longer want. Lil is hoping this initiative will not only encourage residents to read more, but that it will also be a way for her neighbours to connect.
Chalcots Bingo Night
Three of our cardholders, Kalice, Mandy and Lance decided to come together and use their resources to deliver a great event. They decided to organsie something for the adults living on the Chalcots so they put on Chalcot's bingo night. Almost 20 resident came down on a Saturday evening for the chance to win an amazing array of prizes prepared by the organizers and catch up with eachother!
Chalcots Homework Club
Nuura organised a Homework club for the children across the Chalcots. More than 20 young people from across the tower blocks came together to help eachother with homework, but also meet people their age based in the area and make new friends. Through her idea, Nuura create a great space for young people to connect!

Hi everyone. I'm sorry I missed blogging yesterday. My family said a difficult goodbye to my mom's partner yesterday. The process reopened wounds that had hardly closed for my entire family. On the same token, seeing the love that my mom has for her friend was beautiful. It reminded me to take stock of what is really important. Lyrics from "The Universe Alone" kept springing to mind throughout the day. They still do.
It seems like it was only a short time ago that I found myself thinking "Day One (without my Dad)", as I pressed the buttons on our house phone to call my mom. I needed to hear her voice in order to know she was OK. Today I hesitated to make that call. I know she's fine, and I realize she really needs a little privacy to just be. It wasn't long before I saw an unsolicited email from her, confirming that yes – she's fine, and she's handling the loose ends (of which there are plenty). This is simply a new beginning. None of us were eager to begin this new start, but somehow we've found ourselves doing just that.
That seems to be an ongoing theme for me lately. Finishing our book brought me to some sort of weird crossroad. It's going to take me some time to figure it all out. At the very least, I'm coming to terms with the idea that it's OK to start anew. Writing my story closed the door on my past chapters of fandom, and I'm ready to see what is next. It's probably not going to be the same as it once was, and that's OK.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing friends I don't have the opportunity to see often. For me, THAT is what gives the trip it's energy. Seeing Duran Duran is a bonus, but the friendships fuel me, and right now —I need all the love and energy I can get. And, let's face it, once I'm in front of Simon, John, Roger, Nick and of course…Dom, I think I'm going to be OK. 🙂 I need my favorite people and my favorite music for a little while. The timing couldn't really be any better for a new beginning.

What People are Saying
Williamsburg Pediatric Dental
Working with Keith is a complete pleasure. He's so knowledgeable when it comes to his work and he explains situations in detail for technical dummies like myself. Keith is a great asset to DC Dental. I hope he's appreciated.
Williamsburg Pediatric Dental
Dr David Wiseman
I am happy to recommend Keith for dental service calls. I have known Keith professionally for over thirteen years. Wherever Keith was and with whomever he was working he has always been the person to contact for any and every dental service need. His knowledge of equipment and how to handle the myriad problems that can arise in a dental office is truly impressive. He has always been courteous and punctual. His concern for his clients extends beyond the typical service tech.
If you haven't figured it out by now, DC Dental is extremely fortunate to have Keith at the company. I would not be surprised if the companies' sales increase just from Keith's winning attitude and low pressure approach with his customers. I for one, am considering placing supply orders through DC Dental and it is only because Keith recommends you.
His ethics are so well placed that I know anything Keith recommends is with the customer's best interest. That level of trust is by no means automatic but has been earned and is understandably highly valued.
Good pickup hiring Keith!
Best Wishes
Dr David Wiseman
Seth Newman D.D.S
I have been working with Keith for the last five years. Since a time like I can honestly say he's been a pleasure to work with. His knowledge of equipment and ability to quickly diagnose problems is impressive. Most important though is the level of service he brings. He always makes himself available and is there when you need him. With Keith you get the whole package first class service and impressive technical skills.

New York Times Portraits of Grief
Fog cloaked the treacherous Colorado slope; a half-dozen skiers couldn't see past their ski tips. Then, through the soup, came a rhythmic clattering: Christopher Slattery, an expert skier, was banging his poles, leading them to safety.
To an ever-expanding circle of friends and relatives, Mr. Slattery, 31, a trader at Cantor Fitzgerald, was a leader and a catalyst. After college, he pulled together six guys to share a Manhattan apartment. Later, he took a caravan to the Kentucky Derby and two dozen Ranger fans to Montreal. At Giants tailgate parties, you never knew how many friends he'd arrive with.
But for a fellow who majored in fun, Mr. Slattery was remarkably thoughtful. Arranging a job for this acquaintance; paying for a room at the Plaza for that young woman to sleep it off. The exquisite toy horse that delighted his 3-year-old niece; the miniature color television set for his father to wear around his neck during Giants games.
A dying neighbor leaves Mr. Slattery's sister's wedding early: Mr. Slattery chats with him. Women tug at Mr. Slattery's sleeve: come dance! No, says Mr. Slattery, I want to talk with this gentleman. The ill neighbor chooses to stay. Mr. Slattery has compelled him to celebrate the good times a little longer.

Infinix Zero 5 review: A capable contender
Top Features
The Infinix Zero 5 is a big phone which sports a metal unibody design and has chamfered edges around the frame. Available in three colour variants (Champagne Gold, Sandstone Black and Bordeaux Red), the Zero 5 can seem a bit intimidating at first but soon you get used to the size and frame. There's a USB Type-C port at the bottom along with speaker grille and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The power button, volume rockers and dual-SIM card slot find a pace on the right side. On the left, there is a slot for a microSD card (expandable up to 128GB). As we mentioned, this is a large device and weighs about 197 grams but is relatively easy to carry. It's not going to win any awards for its design but neither does it come a cropper when compared to other devices.
The dominant factor of the Zero 5 is the 5.98-inch full HD display which offers 1080x1920 resolution. The standout feature of the Zero 5 in our opinion is its display. You can actually watch a movie on Netflix on the device and you won't be disappointed. The colours are bright and vivid and the detailing is very good. At times, you might feel that the colours get oversaturated but that doesn't make too much of a difference in the viewing quality. Even though Delhi hasn't been experiencing bright sunlight at the moment, the Zero 5 held its own in outdoor conditions as well. Read Full Review

A study of more than 1,000 people, including those with psychiatric disorders, found people who had consumed processed meat were three and a half times more likely to have been hospitalised for mania. Manic episodes, where people become hyperactive, euphoric and cannot sleep, affect one to two in 100 people. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University asked people if they had ever eaten dry, cured meats. While salami and prosciutto were not linked to mania, cured 'meat sticks' were linked to an increased chance of hospitalisation. They say nitrates, used as meat preservatives, may affect the brains and gut bacteria of people who eat them. Nitric oxide is found in higher levels within the blood of people with bipolar disorder.
Lead author Dr. Robert Yolken, from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, said: "Future work on this association could lead to dietary interventions to help reduce the risk of manic episodes in those who have bipolar disorder or who are otherwise vulnerable to mania." To test the effects of nitrates, the United States (US) researchers added them to the diet of rats, which showed signs of mania after just a few weeks. In the human study, people were asked if they had eaten meat sticks in the form of turkey and beef jerky, 'meat sticks', prosciutto and salami. Meat sticks and jerky are popular snacks in the US, and less so in the UK, however nitrates are used here as preservatives for a minority of sausages and may also be in bacon and burgers.
The study, published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, found nitrates changed the gut bacteria of rats, which may be linked to mental health problems. It follows evidence that giving people with bipolar disorder probiotics, to alter their gut bugs, makes them less likely to be rehospitalised.

In 1997, Rabbitt signed with Intersound Records but was soon after diagnosed with lung cancer. Following a round of chemotherapy, he released the album Beatin' the Odds. Sadly, Rabbitt died on May 7, 1998, in Nashville from lung cancer at the age of 56.
Was the title song of the 1978 Clint Eastwood comedy. Although best known for uncompromising tough guy roles such as the cynical police inspector Dirty Harry, Eastwood could also play it for laughs. In this film, Eastwood plays Philo Beddoe, an easy-going trucker and a great fist-fighter. With two friends - Orville, who promotes prize-fights for him, and Clyde, an Orangutan he won on a bet - he roams the San Fernando Valley in search of cold beer, country music and the occasional punch-up. But he is literally floored by a dainty little country and western singer, who gives him the slip when she realizes he's getting too serious. Phil, Clyde and Orville set off in pursuit, pestered by a bunch of wacky bikers.
The title track was written over the phone in double quick time by Milton Brown, Steve Dorff and producer Snuff Garrett, even though they knew virtually nothing about the film. This appears to have been no obstacle at all because the team capture the spirit of the film's side plot, a romantic entanglement with a free spirited young woman who gets under Beddoe's skin. It was then that producer Garrett commenced his search for a suitable Country / Western singer to deliver the song, and Eddie Rabbitt got the gig.
|8 Track Release
This post consists of MP3 (320kps) ripped from my recently acquired vinyl which was still in mint condition, even after 40+ years. I would like to say that I had found it on 8 Track format (see right), so typical of many Country & Western releases but not to be.
The associated Clint Eastwood movie was what introduced me to this talented artist and have since enjoyed listening to his music along with other Country music.
Album artwork is limited to the LP release and after unsuccessful searches for CD covers on the web, I suspect this particular best of collection has never been released on CD format.

You'll remember her from a feature earlier, in which she talked about her journey to health and how her boudoir photography session topped off all of her hard work. Ms R brought in the most amazing "prop" for her session: her skydiving rig named Marilyn. I was in awe at her sense of adventure! She also brought in some special touches for her groom: his favorite team jersey and his golf gear. She loved her images, and so did her groom!

Voter turnout is low. So people are constantly saying we need to make it easier to vote with same-day voter registration, better access to the polls and so on. Could it be that the real problem is that the two political parties on offer are both so unappealing that people would rather not choose between them?
13 thoughts on "At This Restaurant, There Are Only Two Dishes on the Menu and They Both Suck"
Agree with you about the dishes on the menu, i e, the two so-called «major» political parties in the US, Ted, but I can't see that rendering it difficult for people – in particular certain groups of people – to vote, as is presently the case, contributes to resolving the political difficulties in which the US (and therewith, the world as a whole) finds itself. Perhaps the cafe needs both a change of management and of name – in the latter case, to Café Multipolaire ?…
A multipolar cafe (proportional representation and multiple parties) would clarify a few things:
The Centrist Republican Aristocrat Party (CRAP) and the Party of Ineffectual Sycophant Suck-ups (PISS) might well be forced to join forces in a coalition, thereby showing their true colors (golden brown).
However, right now it looks like they would fall well short of a majority, even with combined votes; with the SocDems and the DemSocs coming in with a strong showing on the left and the Rapture is Imminent Party (RIP), the MeMyself&I parties (MEMEME), and the I-Like-Beer (BEER!) party siphoning votes from the right.
It would be like the Weimar Republic, when what looked to the self-declared center as the extreme left and extreme right exceeded 50% of the electorate. (Of course the business interests opted right and the rest is history?)
«It would be like the Weimar Republic, when what looked to the self-declared center as the extreme left and extreme right exceeded 50% of the electorate. (Of course the business interests opted right and the rest is history?)» One can't but wonder if the next economic downturn, fueled by the sort of policies which gave rise to the Great Depression, will have the same consequences that the former did, not only in Germany, but in many places throughout the world. Consider, e g, the recent elections in Brazil as a prologue to the omen coming on….
It reminds me of the diner scene in "Five Easy Pieces." Not the part where Jack Nicholson orders the sandwich with no ingredients, just the toast, and instructs the waitress to charge him for the sandwich, the bit right before that:
"What do you mean, you don't have side orders of toast? You make sandwiches, don't you?"
What do you mean you can't get universal single-payer passed? 80% of the country wants it. What do you mean you can't shut down Gitmo? You're the goddamned president, aren't you? What do you mean those failing banks are too big to fail?
Great cartoon, Ted.
The restaurant has shit shakes and shit sandwiches on the menu and can't understand why the aroma wafting out into the street doesn't draw more passers-bye in.
The ruling oligarchy wants a democratic-appearing process without troublesome (to them) anti-oligarchic results.
So we are served fake elections between the parties of Great Evil and Greater Evil.
And I can't tell which is which: the haters or the enabler of the haters.
Tardigrade 2020.
How to get more people in?
Remove impediments to voting.
Like giving the people clothespins so they don't have to hold their noses.
It's hard to vote with only one free hand.
> "Like giving the people clothespins so they don't have to hold their noses."
Excellent Idea!
I was just reading an article a while back. In Australia, election day is on Saturday and there are BBQs across the country serving up free 'freedom sausages.' It's one, big, national party day.
You are not only allowed to vote; you are *required* to vote and fined if you don't. Voting is mandatory (boo! hiss!) but nobody's prosecuted for drawing naughty cartoons instead of actually recording their choice. (Looking at you Ted)
They've got over 90% turnout. Our turnout is so low that the non-voters could reverse any decision made by those who do vote. What's wrong with this picture?
The fine for non-voters in Australia, so I've heard,is not very big, so abstainers could still do a principled civil disobedience if the need arose.
Plus, a group of violators could go to court to challenge their fines for just cause and act up for the media to air their grievances.
Of course, the US would try to institute the fines but not mandate time off from work so that the poorest would take the biggest hit by maybe losing four hours of wages in precincts where poorer people live and voting machines are scarce, figuring the fine would be less of a hit than the lost wages.
The domestic evil doers will always find a way to stick it to the least economically advantaged among us.
If mandatory voting was enacted in this country you can count on the assholes in charge to twist and pervert a good idea into something that will advantage the billionaires and to beat the poor again.
Backing by the government they own is how billionaires get to be billionaires.
Coke and Pepsi – bitter rivals, no? Except that they've evenly divided the market between them, and nobody else can squeeze in. One week the grocery store has a sale on Pepsi products, the next week it's Coke products. Their flagship products are very similar, they've both got an orange soda, a root beer and a clear citrus-y drink. The products are basically sugar water except when they contain no nutritional value whatsoever.
… and every presidential election divides up the electorate 49% to 48%, the speeches are basically sugar water except when they contain no nutritional value whatsoever …
Cool trippy stuff going on with the brick wall in the lower panel.
I will add one more consideration: Angela Merkel's stated departure.
Compare the situation at the onset of WWI (Barbara Tuchman's "Guns of August" is recommended). Europe, in the run-up to WWI was a bunch of lesser powers, with King Edward VII of England as a sort of papa figure to keep everyone balanced against each other. Then Edward died. Kaiser Wilhelm (and if you want cray-cray, dip into a couple biographies of Willy), the only other outsize character at the time decided that Germany was at risk of being surrounded by enemies.
When Franz Ferdinand was killed, war was already expected. If it hadn't been him, someone else or something else would have lit the fuse.
So now we've got Merkel retiring and England Brexiting stage left. Who's left on the stage? Putin. Although I doubt he'll actually ride into Europe, swinging a saber, the western European democracies are becoming old. There's no one there to counterbalance Putin. If a few more hard-right parties gain some more traction, it may all make our current situation with Trump look like a pleasant spring day in a park with lemonade and cucumber sandwiches.

In the Word of God honesty is a key to fruitfulness and change in our lives (Luke 8:15). Honesty in our lives needs to start with being honest with ourselves. People good at fooling others have to first be good at fooling themselves which the Bible calls self deception. Examine yourself with the following areas of self deception and if you've messed up just fess up and get back in fellowship with God.
- Self-deception about sin 1 John 1:8.
(To say we have no sin when in fact we have sinned. To say we have no power of sin or sin nature within our outward man Romans 6:18, 21, 23. To say sin is all the devils' fault James 1:12-16.To say sin will not hurt you 1 Corinthians 3:18; 6:9).
- Self-deception about being a hearer only and not a doer of the Word James 1:22-26.
- Self-deception about our true level of maturity James 1:26.
(Anyone can appear spiritual but our tongue reveals us. The measure of pure religion is seen in practical acts of love James 1:27. The measure of a perfect man is his ability to bridle his tongue James 3:2).
- Self-deception about sowing and reaping Galatians 6:7.
(Thinking that stuff just happens whether good or bad with no connection to seedtime and harvest. Waiting Thinking there are no consequences to your actions; also expecting for a harvest without sowing seed.).
- Self-deception of thinking we are something we are not Galatians 6:3.
(Our works should prove if we are something (James 3:13) not our thoughts. If we are anything, our actions will prove it. The good we do cannot be hidden 1 Timothy 5:24, 25. Don't be out to be someone, be out to help someone. God cannot bless who we pretend to be).
- Self-deception of thinking we can keep bad company and it not affect us 1 Corinthians 15:33.
(Bad company ruins good morals, habits, and character. Good apples do not change the rotten apples; one rotten apple spoils the whole bunch of good apples. We cannot companion with evil and it not affect us).
- Self-deception of thinking we can never fall and never be deceived 1 Corinthians 10:12.
(All of us are subject to deception in areas of our ignorance. Awareness that it can happen to us is the safeguard that keeps us open to staying free).
- Self deception of thinking that it doesn't matter what we say or the words we use have any effect on our walk James 1:26.
(Words are powerful and influence the spirit realm either for or against us James 3:5-10. Words also are like seeds we can sow that can affect our relationships).
Am I fooling myself? Self deception is being wrong thinking we are right. We are even more vulnerable to self deception when there is no submission in our life and we have no outside voice to keep us objective. Those who forsake assembling with the Body, attending Church, are extremely prone to self deception. The bottom line of self-deception is pride Obadiah 3, 4. Pride rejects seeking God and His thoughts (Psalm 10:4) and the Father of lights (James 1:17; 1 John 2:16). Pride is the inability to admit need, the inability to admit wrong, and rejects the grace of God (James 4:6). Humble yourself, admit your need, and be honest about yourself.

How do I convert between nmol and ug of siRNA?
Use the molecular weight of siRNA to convert between nmol and ug. If the specific molecular weight is not known, you may use the average molecular weight of siRNA, which is 13,300 g/mol. If, for example, you have 5 nmol of siRNA, the conversion would be performed using the following steps: a. equation: ? ug = (5 nmol)(13,300 g/mol)b. unit conversions: ? ug = (5 nmol)(13,300 g/mol)(mol/10exp9 nmol)(10exp6 ug/g)c. answer: ? ug = 66. 5 ugTherefore, a 5 nmol quantity of siRNA is 66. 5 ug.

Part II: Surroundings of Turi Beach Resort, Batam Nongsa
I'm back from Langkawi and I'm all tanned and my arms are filled with rashes from unidentified creature bites from the sea! RAWR!
This durian elephant looks too cute and yummy!
Ok, back to posts on Turi Beach, Batam, here are the surroundings at Turi Beach Resort. There aren't much things to do in the resort except to walk around, enjoy the view and take pictures! Haha.
This is the newer wing which I mentioned in the previous post, the Tirta Wing.
Little huts to chill out near the pool.
Chilling on hammocks by the beach. Ahhh. Bliss.
The most photographed area in the resort. The bridge towards the jetty and Island Bar!
Went back to the bridge to watch sunset. This is what a holiday should be. Relaxing and enjoying me time.

Sorry that there were no blog posts on Friday and Saturday, but I drove all weekend with guests at the Lodge and had no time to blog.
One of the main reasons for not blogging was that, when I was on my way home just before noon on Saturday (to work on some pictures …), the breeding herd of Elephants crossed the Savanna just behind me. They were on their way to our largest waterhole. So I spend the next 1.5 hours there.
After arrival they not only drank, but they swam, sparred and mud-bathed.
It was incredible to see how the females took care of the youngsters and how our oldest bull made sure that no other mature bull (or any Land Rover :-)) came to close to "his family" while they were enjoying themselves in the water.
They young bulls in the group were sparring quite a bit …
… and once the breeding herd had moved of the mature bulls took a mud-bath. Especially the "old guy" enjoyed himself once everyone else had left.
I also recorded some video footage. A YouTube video will be published soon.
Enjoy the pictures and have a good week!
PS: Besides me a herd of Buffalo, a journey of Giraffe and a group of Wildebeest were watching the scene and waited for their turn to drink. The Elephants would not tolerate anyone else near the waterhole during their bath and the old bull made me re-locate a few times before he accepted my presence and I could shoot in peace 🙂

Here is reason number 1 as to why I am an idiot:
Why else am I an idiot??
- Apparently after over 15 years of having diabetes, I still can't figure out if I should or could be eating that sprinkly cupcake.
- That my going vegetarian was because I was a diabetic (that one is new to me).
- That just because something makes sense to me when I am low, doesn't mean it makes sense to anyone else.
- That by now I should know a low before Beepy alerts me, when I see vacant expressions from above said comment.
- I should know that Ice Cream before bed wrecks havoc with my sugar levels and I really need to not use that as a snack when I need to bolus combo style to make it work.
- That if I bolus combo style before bed, I should be prepared to wake up a few hours later drenched in sweat and confusion, because I f-ed it up again.
- I should know that the only reason people laugh at most of my jokes in person, is because my laughing at self, forces others to laugh at me, not with me.
- I should allow sarcasm to function after 9:00. Otherwise, well it just doesn't seem to work for me or others don't process it well either.
- I must be an idiot also, because well I am sitting at my desk telling myself I feel like crap, I have nothing to do over in my office, and yet I am still sitting here arguing with myself that I should go back to bed.
- Oh and I must be an idiot because I also realized that I may have had an incident with a piece of chocolate fudge cake and I may have not bolused for it as I see the magic double up arrows on Beepy telling me something right now.
Peace, Love, Insulin, and Sprinkles

A new generation of Midwest Country music, St. Louis' Les Gruff and the Billy Goat released their third album in December 2018. Their sound, driving like a barge and rolling like a riverboat, defines a genre the band has affectionately deemed "River Dirt." Akin to its cousins in the Oklahoma and Texas Red Dirt genre, River Dirt perfectly captures the roots, rhythms, and reflections of life in historic middle America. The album, entitled Les Gruff and the Billy Goat, demonstrates the maturity of a band that has spent years touring extensively in Texas, the Midwest, and beyond.
Lead singer Billy Croghan originally formed the group out of personally challenging circumstances after losing his father – the man who gave him his first guitar – in a highly-public suicide. Mixed with grief and the growing pains that come along in one's mid-twenties, the band originally wrote this collection of songs at its inception. Armed with a whole new perspective after years of performing and traveling together, the band has polished this album of toe-tappers and lovers' laments into a precious gem ready for release into the now booming Americana scene.
To complement their refined take on these tracks, they recorded at Native Sound Studio, the choice of many of St. Louis' premier recording artists such as Tommy Halloran and Pokey LaFarge with engineer Patrick Crecelius at the control panel, and mastered the songs with St. Louis' Brad Sarno at Blue Jade Audio Mastering.
Les Gruff and the Billy Goat have been regularly touring through Texas, performing with bands like Mike & the Moonpies, Justin Wells, Mayeux and Broussard of Austin, TX, and recently opened for rising Americana star Charley Crockett (Dallas, TX) in St. Louis.

Mark Twain famously said that "whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, stop and reflect".
It's easy for us to get sucked into the matrix and grind out work, day after day, and look around at our colleagues all doing the same thing and assume that 'this is the way it's supposed to be' without really ever taking the time to reflect on what we really want and whether or not we're truly happy and fulfilled in our work.
Every few months i perform a sanity check to assess whether or not I need to make any changes to the kind of work I'm doing or how I'm doing it, and I've found the following six Fs serve as a helpful guide.

Sticking with familiar foods is an easy way to transition to making more and more vegan food choices. Experiment by veganizing your current recipes. You can use our Make the Switch tool to discover easy vegan substitutions.
Most of us have become accustomed to certain tastes and textures in our food. To most people animal products taste good. They may remind you of family and home. Choosing to live vegan doesn't mean never enjoying those tastes and textures again. Happily, almost every animal product now has a tasty plant-based alternative. You might even find you like some of the vegan versions more than the non-vegan ones!
It's not Hard at all, I always loved eating green and clean food... So I just have to change my grocery shopping a little bit and I'm good to go...

Explore the changing landscapes and shifting values of rural America in an era of industrial agriculture in the next Indie Lens Pop-Up screening.
Panhandle PBS and the Don Harrington Discovery Center will co-host a screening of the film Look & See: Wendell Berry's Kentucky at 6:30 p.m. April 16 at the Don Harrington Discovery Center, 1200 Streit Drive in Amarillo.
In the film, director, producer and editor Laura Dunn offers a cinematic portrait of the changing rural landscape, as seen through the mind's eye of writer, farmer, and activist Wendell Berry.
Presenting partners of the film screening include the Don Harrington Discovery Center, Amarillo Community Market, Texas A&M Agrilife Extension - Potter County, USDA-ARS Conservation & Production Research Laboratory, Wildcat Bluff Nature Center and Panhandle PBS.
The film will premiere on Independent Lens on Panhandle PBS at 9 p.m. April 23.
Through Berry's poetic and words and the testimonies of his family and neighbors - all deeply affected by the industrial and economic changes to their agrarian way of life – the viewer sees the changing landscapes of rural America and Berry's preference of taking the unworn path.
Filmed across four seasons in the farming cycle, Look & See: Wendell Berry's Kentucky combines observational scenes of farming life and interviews with farmers and community members with lyrical and evocative shots of the surrounding landscape. Thus, in the spirit of Berry's agrarian philosophy, Henry County itself emerges as a character in the film, a place and a landscape that is deeply interdependent with the people that inhabit it.

Zakat Management Organization (ZMO) is one of the islamic social financial institution that managing public fund. Public fund management requires a good accountability and transparency in order to maintain public trust on social financial institution including ZMO. Hence it is important for ZMO to lauch and implement several policies that will support its operation in a good manner and governance both in zakat collection as well as distribution.
Due the issue of transparency is highly important for zakat management, as the global research institution of zakat, Puskas BAZNAS is designing a methodology to assess how far the transparent level of ZMO. Currently, the methodology is concerning on the assessment of financial operation, zakat institutional management and zakat distribution programs.
Nevertheless, to check the reliability and validity of the methodology that will be used in assessing transparency level of ZMO, Puskas BAZNAS conducted a pilot study by inviting BAZNAS Provinsi Banten, BAZNAS Kabupaten Serang, BAZNAS Kota Cilegon and LAZ Harfa within 18-19 November 2019.
All participants support Puskas BAZNAS to develop this kind of methodology which hopefully, in the future, the result of the study will also assist Zakat Management Organizations to improve their zakat management to strictly address to the transparency values. Hence, the public trust to zakat institution will gradually incline.

Spy movies have never gone out of style, but female-led spy films have re-emerged in the past decade. With the recent success of films such as "Spy," "Atomic Blonde," and "Red Sparrow," female spies are gaining their time in the limelight. The push for more representation has proven that women want to see themselves on screen, especially in action roles where they aren't the damsel in distress or a prop for the male protagonist.
Some upcoming spy films we're looking forward to are "The Rhythm Section," starring Blake Lively (currently predicted in Clayton's Year-in-Advance predictions for Oscars 2020, and the star-studded espionage thriller "355" with Jessica Chastain, Marion Cotillard, Lupita Nyong'o, and Penelope Cruz. The latest version of "Charlie's Angels" is also set to debut later this year. Maybe we can rearrange the list with all the exciting films coming soon!
Jinx Johnson
"Die Another Day"
One of the most memorable "Bond Girls," Jinx Johnson (Halle Berry) stands out due to her ability to hold her own, and fight alongside James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) himself. An NSA operative, Jinx was on a mission to spy on North Korean agent Zao (Rick Yune). During her own mission, she crosses paths with Bond multiple times. Jinx was the second black Bond Girl after Grace Jones, but she was the first to play a heroine. It's also pretty cool that her name comes from the fact that she was born on Friday the 13th.
Dominika Egorova
"Red Sparrow"
A gifted ballerina, Dominika Egorova (Jennifer Lawrence) is lured into the secret service after a foot injury and personal tragedy. With her background in dance and her vigorous studies, Egorova proves herself to be a gifted operative. Egorova trains at the Sparrow School which teaches her how to engage in acts of "Sexpionage." Her skill set allows her to take down foreign leaders. Egorova also has synesthesia, an ability that allows her to read human emotions through colored auras. Unfortunately, the real condition doesn't allow you to see auras, but it's still incredible.

"Charlie's Angels"
In the film adaptation of "Charlie's Angels," the Angels get a fabulous and fun update. The 2000 rendition of the franchise is more comedic in tone, but it's still a stylish and fierce addition. Natalie (Cameron Diaz), Dylan (Drew Barrymore), and Alex (Lucy Liu) all bring something different to the table, but together they make things happen. The women are able to take down software mogul Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell). The franchise is being revived once again for a newer audience, with Elizabeth Banks at the helm.
Susan Cooper
A hilarious entry to a usually serious genre, "Spy" takes old genre tropes and turns them on their heads. Melissa McCarthy stars as Susan Cooper, a top CIA cohort who is relegated to a menial desk job. She works as mission control for hotshot spy Bradley Fine (Jude Law), but after his death, Cooper decides to take matters into her own hands. Cooper's mission takes her across the world, and straight into harm's way. Using her intelligence and drive, Cooper saves the day. After her first big mission, she's upgraded to a field agent.
Lorraine Broughton
"Atomic Blonde"
Lorraine Broughton (Charlize Theron) is the most recent entry on this list. Her role in "Atomic Blonde" proves that there is more room for female-lead spy movies in the current landscape. Broughton is tough as nails, and no role model. She's ruthless, but she's great at her job. Working during the end of the Cold War in 1989, Broughton not only works as a false double agent in the KGB but acts as a CIA plant in the MI6.
Gaby Teller
"The Man From U.N.C.L.E."
The daughter of a rocket scientist and gifted auto mechanic, Gaby Teller (Alicia Vikander) is brilliant and ferocious. A character created for the film, Teller is a great addition to the team of Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer). Raised around men all her life, Teller knows hows to stand her ground. At the conclusion of the film, it's hinted that Teller is a permanent addition to the newly formed U.N.C.L.E. team. Are we ever getting a sequel so we can see her again?
Bridget Von Hammersmark
"Inglorious Basterds"
Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) is an actress and double agent during World War II. Her character is said to be inspired by actress Ilona Massey. In "Inglorious Basterds," she utilizes her strengths as an actress to charm German soldiers and disguises her real motives. Why is she so high on this list? Her main mission is to take down the Nazis. She is the mastermind behind Operation Kino. Along with General Ed Fenech (Mike Meyers), she created the plot to assassinate the majority of the Nazi High Command. If that's not worthy of acclaim, I don't know what is.
Evelyn Salt
While there are several notable action films starring Angelina Jolie, Salt deserves the spot the most. In a role originally designated for Tom Cruise, the casting change certainly was the right choice. In her most badass role, Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a trained CIA operative. Accused of being a Russian sleeper agent, Salt fights to clear her name. She is unstoppable as a master of disguise, and a deadly killer. A sequel to the film has been in limbo for years, but a remake television series has also been announced.
Natasha Romanoff
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Perhaps the most famous spy on the list at the moment, Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johannson), or Black Widow is a part of one of the world's biggest franchises. Originally a member of the KBG, Romanoff became a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. and founding member of the Avengers. Unlike many of the other femme fatales on this list, Romanoff has faced gods, aliens, and a host of superhumans. Following six official film appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a "Black Widow" film is finally in the works. After everything she's done, it's about time.
Ilsa Faust
"Mission Impossible" Franchise
Taking the top spot is Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) of the "Mission: Impossible" franchise. Of all the female leads in the franchise, Faust is the only one that goes head to head with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), twice. While damsels in distress are a frequent part of male-dominated spy movies, Ilsa Faust is the one that does the saving. Originally a member of The Syndicate, Faust goes rogue to become an ally with Ethan Hunt's team. After capturing Solomon Lane, (Sean Harris) Faust regains trust from the government and her nationality. It is also presumed that she will be able to join the IMF. Many fans have become enamored with Faust, and they have called for a spinoff. It's not likely to happen, but it would be nice.

The fourth series of E4's Skins ended last Thursday, signaling the last we'll see of the second generation (unless they bring any of the current cast back for the third, as they did with Effy, but that seems unlikely). And it was very disappointing and unsatisfying, which about sums up how the writers handled the second generation.
When I first started watching Skins, I found it refreshing and authentic – at least more realistic than any other fictional program about teenagers I had seen so far. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Dawson's Creek, The OC and Gossip Girl, but very little in these shows really captures the essence of being a teenager, as I experienced it, not least because most of the parts are played by airbrushed twenty-somethings.
Whole episodes or even season arcs tend to be devoted to someone wondering about what to do with their virginity, with the perfect song playing when they finally did the deed. In real life, while virginity can be a big deal, there's rarely anything poetic about it. There wouldn't be any Top 40 hit playing either, unless the lucky guy had a horribly cheesy sense of romance. We might have sometimes wished our lives were more like TV, but we were stuck with our own glorious, mundane mess. And that was OK.
The first series of Skins was the first time I felt that someone had taken my own experience of being a teen and put it on screen, in an entertaining fashion. Being a teenager was never glamorous, but it was epic. One party could change your life, several times over. One day could be so insane, you'd just get swept away in it, and there was no way you could make your parents understand why you had done the things you had done. You did filthy, shameful things, and then you'd take a deep breath and laugh, because it was actually pretty hilarious too.
When Tony (Nicholas Hoult) and co stumbled back from a mad night out, all disheveled, I knew exactly what that walk of shame felt like. When Cassie (Hannah Murray) pined over Sid (Mike Bailey, my favorite), and tried to make a date happen, yep I'd been there (way too many times). The interactions between the characters were realistic and though the events sometimes exaggerated, it wasn't so much that they bore no relation to reality. And the music was awesome. I am so bad with music but watching Skins introduced me to new artists I continue to enjoy, like MGMT and Fat Segal. That was very much in line with how important music was when I was sixteen – I wasn't "good" at it back then either, but a significant part of our social life revolved around going to gigs and loads of people I knew were in bands.
The casting of the first generation was spot-on too – the kids were the right ages and were not too attractive or well-dressed, which helped the characters become more understanding and even lovable. They were all appealing in their own way, but had frizzy hair, pimples and crooked teeth, like we all did at that age. (Even Alexa Chung, who I went to college with.) Michelle, the "babe" of the group, was accessibly pretty – the way the Queen Bee usually is IRL- and Tony was really yummy (which was disturbing as I still remembered Hoult as the chubby cherub in About a Boy), but not a Chace Crawford or Chad Michael Murray. (And I prefer the Tony type anyway.) In sixth form, we definitely had Tonys, Michelles, Cassies, a couple of Maxxies (Mitch Hewer), Jals (Larissa Wilson) and Anwars (Dev Patel), and a shedload of Chrises (Joe Dempsie) and Sids. As well as Abigails at the rival school!
The second season, still with the first generation, was gloomier than the first, but it effectively deepened the characterization of the individuals, and the dynamic of the group of friends. I missed the relative lightness of the first season, but I still liked being around these kids. I cried several times during Season 2, especially when Chris, who had truly grown on me, died, but I didn't feel manipulated – I found the writers brave and masterful. The end of the second season fittingly felt like the end of an era, and although slightly open-ended, when it came to Sid and Cassie in New York, was still satisfying. Both characters and viewers had been given proper respect.
I couldn't wait to see what they would do next, although, having loved the first generation so much, it was inevitable it would be harder to warm to the next set of pretenders. Effy (Kaya Scodelario) had intrigued me in her episodes, so I was glad she was going to be the "lead", as Tony had been. it seemed appropriate. Freddie (Luke Pasqualino) looked especially tasty, and all the characters had interesting togs.
But the focus on the kids' fashion, even before the third season had debuted, sent off minor alarm bells in my head. Yes, as teenagers we all played with our images and attempted uniqueness… but the way they were deconstructing the characters through their clothes was pretty gross, and a sign of the superficiality and relentless desire to either please or shock the masses that would inevitably plague the third and fourth seasons.
I did like these seasons to some extent – I obviously didn't hate it enough to stop watching entirely – but overall they did a poor job with the characterization and storytelling. The kids were cartoony, like the writers were trying to be as quirky and cool as possible. They never really felt like friends. Cook (Jack McConnell) was way too aggressive and unbearable to watch for most of the time. Even as I grew to like him – and Katie (Megan Prescott) – slightly more, I grew to like other characters way less.
Most became far too whiny, especially Naomi (Lily Loveless), Emily (Kathryn Prescott) and Pandora (Lisa Backwell). Thomas (Merveille Lukeba) seemed far too much like the magical black guy prevalent in Hollywood throwbacks. The Naomily thing was driven into the ground in the fourth season, and the Effy-Freddie-Cook love triangle was just too tedious. The device of using "ships" to shape seasons is something best left to American TV.
Perhaps it means a show is powerful if it actively makes you hate things about it. I don't think so, though. I like my TV with heart in it, especially if its going to be daring. If I'm going to be upset about something, it needs to be earned. It's easy to manipulate viewers, but good writers shouldn't resort to it.
The death of Freddie is the epitome of all that was wrong with the second generation. That was mishandled on so many levels, and the way the writers have defended themselves since is a bad omen for future seasons. It was obviously meant as a mirror to Chris' death, but the comparison only serves to highlight how badly it was done. Chris' death had many hints, with his brother dying of a similar thing, with his stroke. And they allowed the other characters to grieve him, thus letting the viewer do so too. He got a real send-off. Freddie's death came out of left-field and felt completely gratuitous. Baddies like John Foster are way too over-the-top (and one-dimensional) when it comes to most teenagers' lives, and it felt like it was part of the same lazy thing they tainted the whole second generation with: the supposed unavoidable allure of Effy. I.e., of course John would become obsessed with Effy, everyone else was! And then the season ended, without any real resolution for Freddie, and ridiculous endings all around, from Harvard (!) for both Thomas and Pandora, to histrionics from Naomily.
In trying to please the teen target audience and live up to the series reputation for "coolness" and shockers, the creators have forgotten the basics of what makes good TV — and what made Skins so great to begin with. Very little of the second generation bore any relation to what being a teenager is actually like – its more like what teenagers wish it was like, and thus more like American TV, but with more sex and drugs. I have very little hope matters will improve in either the American version or the third generation… but I will be tuning in, for at least the first episode of each. In the meantime,I fancy revisiting Tony and the gang all over again…

(Washington, DC; Tuesday, February 24, 2015) United Coalition of Reason (UnitedCoR) was created in February 2009 as a response to the mass of local non-theistic (Humanist, freethought, atheist, Humanistic Jewish, Ethical Culture, agnostic and skeptic) groups springing up all over the country in the wake of the "New Atheism." UnitedCoR's initial mission was to be an advocate and raise the public profile of such groups while stimulating their cooperation. In the six years since the organization's launch, which began with two existing and two new local coalitions, 75 have been added, creating a network that spans 39 states, one Canadian province, and the District of Columbia. UnitedCoR's new mission and direction will be to empower and nurture the local coalitions.
UnitedCoR has now named UnitedCoR's Executive Director as its new Executive Director, and he will commence this appointment on March 1, 2015. "It has been a wild ride, with coast-to-coast billboard and bus ad campaigns capturing public attention," said Fred Edwords, who led UnitedCoR over the past six years. "Now the torch passes to a new leader who is nurturing the organization's reach virtually as well as geographically." Edwords will continue his service to non-theistic communities in his new role as Director of Planned Giving for the American Humanist Association.
Dr. Heap, who formerly served as UnitedCoR's National Coordinator since August 2014, brings a unique wealth of education and globalized experience to the new appointment. He attended and took degrees from Howard Payne University, Brite Divinity School—Texas Christian University, the University of Oxford (UK), and Sheffield Hallam University (UK). Heap taught philosophy, psychology, religious studies, personal/social/health education, and other subjects in the UK's state-maintained schools and also worked as a headteacher at UK-curriculum international schools. He recently completed a doctor of education in administrator leadership and his dissertation focused on empowering non-Western grassroots schools and teachers. Heap's world travels over the past 15 years has put him in touch first-hand with a vast array of sincerely-held beliefs, such as Daoism, Shintoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism: religions that don't look toward a theistic being to control life and ethics but rather encourages people to look to themselves for the answer to life's questions.
"The past six years has seen a remarkable growth in the visibility and public awareness of non-theistic communities across the United States, with more and more women, men and young people standing up in their local areas to say "This is our community, too, and it's a place where we belong." This is a reflection of American pluralism, and in today's increasingly-globalized life, it's important that we recognize, embrace, and celebrate that we can have unity without uniformity" said Heap. "Non-theistic people are productive and ethical members of our society. It brings me pleasure to help draw attention to community service projects that are being led by members of the nearly-80 local coalitions that are providing positive social change in their communities. This is an unequivocal demonstration that no one sincerely-held belief has a monopoly on morality nor is there an equable established edict for ethical living."
Reaching out to the like-minded isn't the only goal of UnitedCoR. "Non-theistic folks are a regular part of communities all over the area," concluded Heap. "Non-theists are your friends and neighbors, your coworkers and family members. The non-theistic communities I support focus on service, and we care deeply about bringing justice and help to others: doing good without having to believe in a deity."

The United Coalition of Reason (www.UnitedCoR.org) works to raise the visibility and sense of unity among local groups in the community of reason by assisting with funding and expertise to help local coalition groups cooperate toward common goals.

Los Angeles County has been operating a debris basin — a catchall for the sediment, gravel, boulders and vegetative debris washed out of canyons during storms — for five years atop Highland Place in Monrovia, but soon it may be obsolete.
The county installed the structure in 2013 after a brush fire on the 300 block of Madison Avenue left room for extra mud and other debris to flow unimpeded on the secluded, hillside street.
Debris basins still allow water to flow into storm drains to avoid flooding, according to the L.A. County Department of Public Works.
After a fire, "there's always the concern that when it rains, you'll have mudslides due to burnt vegetation, that mud will fall into residential areas," Oliver Chi, city manager for Monrovia, said.
It typically takes five years for the plants that hold back mud and debris to regrow, Chi said. Since the Highland Place basin has been in place for that long, the county gave Monrovia two options:
- Let L.A. County remove the structure.
- Take over the responsibility of managing and maintaining the basin.
If the city determines that it's worth it to maintain the basin in-house, the county would transfer the basin's liability and maintenance over to the city, Sean Sullivan, public works division manager for Monrovia, said.
The city may recommend to council that the basin should remain intact, Chi said. "Having the facility there has added a layer of protection from possible future slides," Chi added.
"Should we need it again, it's already there," Sullivan said.
The structure appears to be doing its job. There's about 3 to 4 feet of debris collected behind the basin, based on a Thursday evaluation of the structure. Its wall is about 12 feet tall, Sullivan said, which means the basin is about one-third full right now.
Normally, post-fire debris basins are cleaned out once they are 5% full, according to the county. In Monrovia's case, county would have cleared it every time the debris reached 0.6 feet.
Monrovia Public Works is looking at old agreements to see how often the county emptied the basin, or if the existing debris is all that's been collected since it was built, Sullivan said. "If we can determine how much (debris) is coming behind (the basin), we can understand the impact and benefits of (keeping) it," Sullivan said.
Highland Place residents caught a lot of drainage even before the Madison Fire's aftermath flowed down, Chi said. Crews would respond to the area accordingly, but after the fire, mud flow was too high; it needed something to catch it, he added.
City engineers might call for it to be removed, Tom Adams, mayor of Monrovia said. "We're pretty well past the dangers from the mud flow," Adams said.
"I suspect what they're going to say is, our real problem was down the street" from the basin, Adams said. The 400 block of West Highland Place, closer to the middle of the canyon area, is more susceptible to the debris flow, he added.
In lieu of keeping the basin atop the hill, Adams said he thinks it is wise to keep an eye on the middle of the Highland Place, where there's an 8-foot-wide stormdrain.
As research has just begun, Sullivan said he is unsure when staff will be able to take their findings to the City Council for a decision.

One of the greatest albums in rock history, along with many other albums this band released. Here is the review in Sounds from the time of its release. And you may like to know that Skip Bifferty was an English psychedelic rock band who released their one and only album in 1968. Something that must have been a fact only known for connoisseurs even in 1973.
Album Review:
Black Sabbath: "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"
By Rob Mackie
There`s a really pretty instrumental called "Fluff" on this one, which features Tony Iommi playing harpsichord in semi-Elizabethan style, with acoustic and steel guitars and piano, and suggests a future Iommi solo album might well be worth a careful listen. I mention that first because you might well assume that Sabbath are capable of nothing but blasting the eardrums with their prophecies of doom and destruction for all. Well, of course, there`s plenty of that too. When they`re in full swing, Sabbath`s style is a bit like that TV commercial where the hammer smashes the peach. If you can`t argue with a car, what chance have you of even complaining as the B.S. tank rolls relentlessly on? Ozzy`s high, nasal vocals cut through the deep grumbles of the instruments like a cry of true pain, with lines about "the execution of your mind" and such like. The backdrop is laid down firm and true – if Sabbath ain`t your cup of blood, then that`s that, but if you like heavies, these guys know what they`re doing. Iommi`s guitar is always coming through with something above the general rut – his solo at the end of "Looking For Today" put me in mind of Skip Bifferty, which is no complaint. Synthesisers have extended the band`s range too – guest Rick Wakeman shows the way at the end of side one, and on the second side, all the band except drummer Bill Ward take up the infernal machines, and don`t do badly by them. Menacing stuff, for those as likes to be threatened.

The result of a public inquiry into an onshore oil development in Lincolnshire is expected by the end of the year, the development partners confirmed.
The planned six-day meeting in Scunthorpe to assess objections to the Wressle project concluded on Thursday (Nov 7) after only three days, with North Lincolnshire Council presenting no evidence.
The Planning Inspectorate is in pre-election purdah, so a decision will be released after December 12, but before the end of that month, the market was told.
The Wressle partners include the operator Egdon Resources (LON:EGD), Europa Oil & Gas (LON:EOG) and Union Jack Oil (LON:UJO).
In a statement, Egdon's managing director, Mark Abbott said he believes the companies have a "very strong case".
"[This is] supported by detailed evidence and agree with the conclusions of the council's own professional planning officer," he added.
"This was reinforced by an expert third party review undertaken on behalf of the Council, who recommended our revised application for approval ahead of the November 2018 decision."


text: In many respects, 2018 was a momentous year. Historians will likely look back on this year as a turning point for women, and particularly working women, who chose to step forward and raise their voices. In doing so, those women drew broad attention to issues related to sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

Amanda and Danial set themselves a strict $20K budget for their wedding and, with the help of their family and friends, created a timelessly elegant and stress-free wedding without breaking the bank! If you are a bride after a classic wedding that doesn't cost the earth, this blog is for you!
Danial took Amanda hiking up to a beautiful waterfall in the Southern Highlands followed by a picnic at sunset at a lookout and popped the question to a very surprised Amanda. "He completely took me by surprise and I was a blubbering, ridiculously happy, mess."
The wedding was held at the Mount Keira Scout Camp tucked away in the escarpment of Wollongong. This spot was perfect for this nature-loving couple as they wanted their wedding to be held somewhere that they both love. The reception was at the Surf Club at Wollongong on the beach, starting at sunset. "We just wanted to have a fun, relaxed and casual reception. Both the ceremony and reception venues cost us $2500 in total. It was a perfect fit for our style and budget."
Amanda and Danial had a budget of about $20K for their wedding so they wanted to keep the style of their wedding simple, fun, stress-free and timeless. With such naturally beautiful locations, decorations were able to be kept to a minimum to let the natural elements of the forest and ocean shine. "We were lucky to have friends and family help us with a lot of the styling, makeup, hair, floristry and set up prior to the ceremony and reception."
Amanda wore the gorgeous 'Cassie' gown from our LUXE collection which she purchased from Ivory and Lace in Austinmer. It was the appeal of an Australian designer with the perfect mid-range price without compromising on style or elegance that sold Amanda. "I love how much of a statement it was, I had simple jewellery and hair because the gown was so detailed, it was the main feature."
Amanda kept her styling and accessorizing to a minimum with no veil and small jewellery highlights. She wore a stunning stacked Pandora ring which her bridesmaids gifted her and a pair of silver, art deco-inspired statement earrings.
"Choosing to do DIY for flowers, styling and having friends do my makeup and hair cut costs dramatically. Cocktail over sit down also dramatically reduced the costs and made the whole vibe much more relaxed and took a lot of planning out without having to stress about seating plans, etc."
"Choose a dress that suits your style, budget and make sure it is comfortable. You don't want to be thinking about how you can't breathe or sit down on your wedding day!"
"Love means happiness, fun and is not just a feeling for someone or something, but it is a part of life every single day. With your husband, friends, family and hobbies."
Photographer – Pure Breeze Pixels / Florist – Amanda's best friend and bridesmaid Stacey bought flowers from Sydney Flower Markets / Hair – Amanda's friend Ashley Schuster / Make Up – Amanda's friend Amanda Lee Wheeler / Celebrant – Merinda Richardson / Music – Luke Savill / First Dance – 'Pink & White' by Frank Ocean / Menu – Reay's Catering / Cake – Reay's Catering / Wedding Bands – Michael Hill Jeweller / Wedding Shoes – Wittner / Bridesmaids' Earrings – Tree of Life / Bridesmaids' Gowns – borrowed and bought


text: |To dream of walking through a forest as a couple in love signifies a fertile environment for a blossoming relationship. According to Freud's theory of psychoanalysis, the woods can be interpreted as a conducive environment for romance. In your waking life, things may be falling into place for your hidden desires and suppressed romantic energies to come out and play.

Re: Trade Hauling.
Before starting the Hauler you need to load the cargo yourself for the first run, after that it will continue to load automatically during subsequent runs. Make sure you enter the correct number of jumps to the destination and check that you do not have additional waypoints set in between (clear all your waypoints before starting the run).

Trails of Tears march to be re-enacted at Port Royal Historic Park
Visitors to the Port Royal State Historic Park can explore a piece of American history through the Trail of Tears Commemorative Walk, to be held Saturday, October 13, beginning at 10 a.m.
This tragic chapter in our nation's history will include recognition ceremony and re-enactment of the Cherokee March in which Native Americans forced from their Georgia communities were forced to trek through Tennessee and Kentucky on their way to reservation lands in Oklahoma. Thousands died of bitter cold and lack of food on this harrowing winter journey, hence the evolution of the name "Trail of Tears."
An exhibit related to that forced march, and to the Town of Port Royal (circa 1838) will be open to the public at 8 a.m. that morning.
The days' activities include demonstrations of medicine and domestic chores of the 1830s, guided tours of the park, and refreshments. All activities close at 4:30 p.m. For more information, call the park at 931-358-9696.
