CAREFUL…Do not step on any dry cedar limbs, and do not step on any rocks that might slide or make any kind of noise!" cautioned Jackie Murphy as we started our ascent.
I looked at the rocky, dry limb covered slope we were on and wondered if my guide expected me to levitate my way to the crest. Smiling, I put a toe here, a heel there and followed as best as I could. Somewhere up ahead were aoudad, several of them and hopefully a heavily chap-bedecked ram which had been around eight or more years. Eyes on the ground, I followed.
Suddenly my guide stopped abruptly on the steep, rocky slope, pushed his hand backward cautioning me to stay in my tracks. I obeyed. I watched silently as Jackie raised his binocular and peered through cedar at something in the direction of the head of the canyon. Moments later he looked over his shoulder and smiled. With his left hand he motioned the sweep of a horn, then pointed up slope. At that point he got on his hands and knees and crawled cautiously forward. I followed; sharp, jagged rocks poking into tender knees. When my guide waved me to his left side and I snaked my way forward.
"There are at least thirteen rams. They're only 70-yards away. They have no idea we're here. Bear with me while I look to see if there's a shooter."
Jackie evaluated each ram while I reflected upon the stalk that got us within Ruger revolver range. We had spotted the herd from a mile away. For the last hour we had been walking up and down, mostly up, through rough, rugged, rocky terrain typical of Texas' Trans Pecos Mountains. Several times we had walked to where we had to back up and take a different path due to bluffs and blind canyons. When we first saw them at the great distance it appeared there could be mature rams in the herd. Jackie wanted a closer look, as did I.
It had been years since I seriously hunted aoudad, but in the past I had done a fair amount of pursuing aoudad including guiding for "Barbary sheep" on the ranches I managed as a wildlife biologist. As Jackie looked, I commented, "To me they look to be mostly in the 26 to 28-inch range. I don't see huge bodies, nor the darker color I remember mature rams attaining with maturity."
"Not bad Pilgrim!" responded Jackie. "Let's ease out of here and do our best not to disturb them. Don't want that herd running, possibly spooking other rams on top of the ridge. When aoudad run they tend to go a long way before stopping!"
We backed out slowly using every bit of cover just as we had with our approach. Once well out of sight of the rams. Jackie said, "That's typical of what we'll see. The breeding season is long past and rams are now mostly in bachelor herds. We may see a single ram, but usually if we see one there will be more." He continued, "If we see a ewe or a group of ewes, we won't spend any time glassing nor stalking them."
Late afternoon slid to sun down and we headed back to camp. On our way back Jackie and I told hunting stories. Even though we had never hunted together, we shared many mutual friends including Greg Simons owner of Wildlife Systems (www.wildlifesystems.com) for whom Jackie works. I also knew of Jackie's reputation. When I was setting up the hunt with Greg he had told me, "I'm not going to be in your aoudad camp because of other commitments. I'm going to have Jackie Murphy guide you. We call him "Mr. Aoudad" because of his passion for hunting aoudad and his success of guiding hunters to the biggest aoudad rams on whatever ranch we hunt through Wildlife Systems. I think you'll truly enjoy the time spent with him."
During our hunt, which we filmed for our "DSC's Trailing the Hunter's Moon" television series which appears year around on the Pursuit Channel, I asked Jackie if he could only hunt one animal in the world, regardless of where it might exist, what would it be. Without hesitation he responded "Aoudad! Love where they live and how tough, tenacious and challenging they tend to be, and too, they are truly majestic animals!" What Greg had not told is how good a cook Jackie was, as I learned in our several days together.
Early next morning we were sitting, watching distant and near slopes at the first hint of the approaching day. We soon spotted several rams. Our spotting scopes revealed relatively young rams. While glassing besides aoudad we saw a goodly number of desert mule deer, elk and some whitetails. Jackie mentioned Wildlife Systems offers hunts for those three species on the ranch we hunted, plus javelina, hogs and of course aoudad.
As the day before, we hunted all day long, mostly sitting and glassing, crawling ridges and glassing blind canyons. We spotted and stalked several herds of rams ranging from two to twelve, only to turn all of them down. "Not what we're looking for!" Or, "Too small!" were Jackie's standard responses. I loved it! This was true hunting; spotting animals at long distance, planning and then executing the stalk, getting within rifle range, then backing out without the rams even knowing we were there. Great fun and I loved every moment!
Late that evening glassing a rocky ridge top we spotted three, then ten more rams. All were darker colored than those we had been seeing. It appeared the shortest horned ram was 28-inches, broomed at the tips. The largest ram looked like he could easily go 34-inches. Unfortunately, by the time we found them, it was late and the distance was easily a thousand yards. We watched them head to the top of the ridge to bed down for the night.
This hunter had always wanted to chase down a free-range giant aoudad, and he got his chance on the Kokernot 06 Ranch.

"The architect gave me a sample to match for The St. Bernard Civic Center in New Orleans. Being a LEEDS project the product had to meet all of the specs and be green. I sent the sample to the team at Tobias Green Wall Finish who made the exact sample for me in the custom color. They turned it around very quickly. It was beautiful!

Hey all,
Just updated to the new Adrenelin drivers. Since doing that, when I try to change the workload from Graphics to Compute, it's only applying to one card. I know that the support for the new drivers say it'll apply to all of them if you're using multiple cards, but it's just simply not applying. The settings still say Graphics on all the others, and the benchmarks confirm this.
Is there a settings file to change this manually or some other way of doing this?

Why sharing research outcomes is a vital part of environmental science
7 March 2018
As the deadline for submitting outcomes to Researchfish® approaches on 15 March 2018, Professor Stephen Mobbs, Director of the NERC's National Centre for Atmospheric Science, tells us how this endeavour helps us collectively make the case for continued investment in environmental science:
Professor Stephen Mobbs, Director of NCAS.
The recent invitation, sent to all active and recent investigators in the NERC-funded community, to complete their Researchfish® return is a timely reminder of why we all do this. Last year, the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) published an international comparison of performance of UK research. This comparison with other research intensive countries contains some interesting data and conclusions. Not least, that the UK performs very well as measured by a number of metrics of research quality and impact.
Of particular interest to us as members of the NERC-funded community is that environmental sciences is the best performing scientific discipline in the UK as measured by citation impact. Much of this research is the result of NERC funding and is a measure of the excellence of the community as a whole.
Supporting and developing this productive community is a concern for all of us. There has never been a greater need for impactful environmental science. The solutions to a vast range of today's challenges for humankind depend on the environment. So, if we work collectively and smartly, we should be in a strong position to make the case for maintenance and enhancement of the funding for environmental science.
New and potentially enhanced opportunities may be just around the corner as NERC moves into a new phase of its existence as part of UK Research & Innovation (UKRI). This is particularly true for tackling and solving broad and challenging problems which require a cross-disciplinary approach. Coming from an acknowledged leading scientific discipline, we should be well placed.
So how do we all collectively contribute towards building the case for the funding of environmental science research? One effective way is by ensuring that our research is fully recorded in Researchfish®. The data is used by NERC and other research councils to make the case to government for the effectiveness of UK investment in research and innovation. It is also used by BEIS to make its case for funding to HM Treasury.
So, by dedicating an hour or so of your time, you will be playing your part in helping to develop and grow our already excellent scientific discipline and you will be doing that for the benefit of the UK as a whole. That is why, as a still active researcher, I will be completing my entry over the coming days. It is also why, as Director of one of NERC's research centres - the National Centre for Atmospheric Science - I will be urging my staff to do the same. Please join in with this important endeavour.
Professor Stephen Mobbs

TESTS have failed to prove that a big cat was responsible for the death of a lamb belonging to farmer John Lewis, of Newport, Pembrokeshire.
Animal-health inspectors from Pembrokeshire County Council said yesterday that an examination of the lamb's remains at a veterinary centre in Carmarthen had proved inconclusive.
Mr Lewis has lost a number of lambs in mysterious circumstances over the past few weeks.
County council spokesman Len Mullins said vets could only conclude that the lamb was a victim of a predator attack.
"They are unable to say what sort of animal attacked it," he said.
A POLICE force has decided to "name and shame" people who are given adult antisocial behaviour orders by the courts.
A leaflet on the first, Richard Morris Lloyd, of Dwygfylchi, has already been printed and distributed in his local area
Mr Lloyd was issued with a behaviour order by Prestatyn magistrates on June 16 but he later broke its conditions.
Three more individuals are due to have their details circulated so that people can report them if they misbehave.
North Wales Assistant Chief Constable Clive Wolfendale said yesterday, "We will seek to maximise behaviour orders this way."
A WOMAN was still critically ill in hospital yesterday after being hit by a car that left the road at a picnic area and ran into a stile.
The accident happened just off the A470 where it runs by Cantref Reservoir, near Merthyr, just after 2pm on Wednesday.
A Brecon police spokesman said two of three cars on the road collided with a parked car and then the stile.
He said the woman, aged 59, was taken to the Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr with serious injuries after the accident. Her condition was critical but stable.
No information was released about the occupants of the cars.
THE search is on for Wales's best builder.
It is being conducted by trade organisation the Federation of Master Builders, and its officials say they want the public's help in choosing the paragon of building virtue.
You may well be in seventh heaven with your new home, or perhaps a recent renovation has restored your faith in great British craftsmanship.
If so, your builder may have what it takes to be Master Builder of the Year 2004, and you could win a holiday worth £3,000.

Believe it or not, there are less than fifty days until Christmas. Which also means that it's nearly winter. Fall seems to be passing in the blink of an eye, and now that Halloween is out of the way, the temperature will be dropping quickly. Soon, there will be ice on the streets, frost on the grass and even the first snowfall of the year.
Of course, wintertime brings its disadvantages. Heating bills are more expensive, coughs and colds are rife, driving is more dangerous, pipes freeze and getting out of bed can be nothing short of torturous. But it also brings its positives. The holidays are a time for family, fun, and joy. There's little better than curling up with a hot chocolate and a Christmas movie when you get in from work, and the decorations in the streets are magical. You might also enjoy fall/winter fashions, adding chunky knits, thick scarves and trendy boots to your wardrobe, and the chance to indulge in comforting, calorie-packed meals.
To make the most of the best that wintertime brings, it's important to have a cozy home to come back to after a long day out in the cold. A cozy home gives you the perfect base to relax and unwind at the end of a long day, as well as a safe space, tucked away from the wind, rain, and snow. But, cozying up your home isn't just about putting your heating on. There's a lot more to it than that. Here are some ways that you can do it.
No amount of warming décor and home accessories can make your home feel cozy if it's cold. You'll also struggle to enjoy sitting at home if you know that you are wasting a fortune on heating which is just passing straight out of your house.
When it comes to insulation, it's worth investing if you can. You lose around 25% of your heat through your roof and a further 35% through the walls. If you can invest in cavity wall insulation and loft insulation if you don't already have it. Your house will be warmer, more comfortable and less damp. Your heating bills will also be considerably cheaper.
If you can't afford to take such large measures, or you already have those kinds of insulation,
concentrate on smaller jobs, which can still make a big difference when it comes to warming your home. Check and repair any window and door seals that need it, add draught excluders to your external doors, and make sure you close the doors to rooms that aren't in use to trap heat where it's needed.
Change Your Seating
Comfort is a huge part of coziness. If you aren't comfortable, you'll never feel warm and relaxed, and you'll never be comfortable without the right seating options. Firstly, there should be options. Dining chairs, sofas, armchairs, benches, whatever you've got the room for. Look for more info on modern and comfortable sofas that will fit your décor, but make sure you focus on comfort and coziness over style.
Focus on Your Windows
Your windows let natural light into your home. In the winter, they can also let in the cold, and it can be tempting to keep them covered. But, when it's sunny outside, throwing your curtains open and letting light into your home can increase the temperature.
Then, as soon as the sun goes down, close thick, textured curtains to keep the heat inside. If you've got a radiator underneath your window, tuck the curtain in if possible to prevent the heat escaping straight out of the window.
Find Texture
Texture is another important factor when it comes to creating a cozy home for you and your family. Texture adds depth and color, but perhaps more importantly, in this case, it adds warmth.
Add texture with cushions, throws and rugs, wall hangings and thick curtains. Add soft materials like velvet and wool. Plants and flowers can also be a great way to add texture and depth to a room, especially a large one. Stick to leafy greens and dark flowers, as well as dark, natural planters for the most effective results.
Give Yourself Lighting Options
Lighting is another fantastic way to add texture and depth to your home, while also making it feel cozy and warm. Even larger rooms can feel closer with the right lighting. Think about being sat at home watching a movie with your Christmas tree lights shining in all of their glory. Is there a cozier image? Recreate this all year around by giving yourself more lighting options. Focus on softer lighting, like candles, lamps and string lights, and add options to all of your rooms.
Treat Yourself to Some Loungewear
A cozy home is about more than the décor. When you get in from a cold commute home after a long day at work, you want to be able to get comfortable straight away. Treat yourself to some warm loungewear that you can put on as soon as you get in if you want to. This doesn't need to be expensive or trendy, a baggy t-shirt and jogging bottoms will do if that's what makes you feel the most comfortable. Just make sure that you've got some slippers or thick socks to go with it.
Rethink Your Flooring
There's nothing worse than a cold floor. It's uncomfortable, and it can make your home feel much colder than it actually is. If you can afford it, adding underfloor heating can make an amazing difference. Especially in the bathroom. Stepping out of a bath or shower on to a warm floor can help you to start your day in the right mood.
Even without underfloor heating, you can make you flooring warmer and more comfortable with thick carpets and woolen rugs.
Update Your Bedding
If you want to cozy up your home, there's no better place to start than your bed. New, soft bedding, in dark and warming colors, will help you to relax and get a good night's sleep, while making the atmosphere of your bedroom warm and comforting.

3 reviews for Crickett® Precision Rifle
I won this rifle at a NRA dinner last year. I am impressed with this lil rifle and my grand kids love shooting it, its a quality built and accurate rifle! On a humorous note a friend of mine who had just gotten out of the Navy, SEAL Team One remarked when he saw it " It looks just like the 300 Win Mags we used, I need to get one for my girls to learn with." I am currently thinking about getting one of my grandsons a Crickett Adult rifle in blued steel and walnut.
I agree,it looks just like a mini- Spec-Ops weapon or Sniper rifle.
What a fantastic 1st rifle to train with. My 5 year old son and 6 year old daughter are lights out with this. I have it setup with a red dot and they beat my Dad and myself at a target shooting session at the ranch. Great tool to teach and learn from! Thank you to the Keystone team for bringing such an awesome platform to market for youth!! How about a CRP for adults?!?

This season we are all looking for really like. I can't tell you how May periods I have let a man into my bed with the believed "this is the one" I would bet many of us are accountable of this. I would think both men and ladies have probably believed this at once or another, but I will talk here from a ladies viewpoint. Most of us don't like the sensation of a one-night take a position especially if we are the one spent in the result.
Euphoric. We are sensation great on the other individual. We perform out the evening before over and over in our go and can't seem to think of much else. We probably sit and think most of the one night stand for sex hookup likes a youngster. We think about our next experience.
SpeedxDating wonder when he will contact or e-mail or textual content. Then we wonder if we should be the one to do it first. Who wants to one night stand perform game titles, after all? But for most females, we usually delay.
One Night Stand Online Tips
Starting levels of worry and self-doubt. No contact, no e-mail, no textual content. We choose, "Maybe I will deliver an e-mail or a textual content. What's the injury in that?" No reaction. We delay, we think, we begin to sex tonight defeat ourselves up. Once again we perform it over and over in our leads. But now, we are looking for that lethal drawback. "What did I do wrong?"
Anxiety. Still no reaction from your concept. We go through several different one night stand for sex on dating circumstances in our leads as to why he might not be replying. Maybe his cell phone passed away or maybe he's out of city and there is no assistance, or maybe he's just too fast paced and he can contact later. Maybe he's examining me! We create up all types of insane justifications.
Rage. "I can't believe he hasn't come back my concept. It's his reduction anyway." We try and remain fast paced to one night stand keep our thoughts off of him, but it's difficult to avoid verifying our cell phone or e-mail every 10 moments. We justify and sometimes even deliver another concept or try getting in touch with. This only contributes to the lose heart if there is once again no response!
Popularity – Self-Doubt – Popularity. We keep vacillate from one night stand find sex for women recognizing that there is nothing we can do to modify the scenario, to thinking "What exactly did I do incorrect." We over assessing everything we did or said and how we checked, or whatever the uncertainty might be. We have all done it! I know I have, and several periods. I defeat myself up and say I will never allow that to occur again.

The Price Tag On Deepika Padukone's Leather Pants Will Burn A Hole In Your Heart And In Your Pocket
Ooh la la! Deepika Padukone stepped out in style again! – Yeah, the 32-year-old actress, a fashion icon, must be used to such reactions by now. But we won't be completely honest if we say we are not struggling a little to keep up with the actress' hand-picked wardrobe pieces. Deepika's latest photos on her Instagram are from her visit to Madame Tussauds in London – we couldn't help but notice how fabulous she looked at the photoshoot and also can't help but not mention the details of the leather pants she wore. Okay, so, put together by her go-to stylist Shaleena Nathani, Deepika paired a white collared shirt with belted straight pants from the studios of Proenza Schouler, a label founded in 2002 by designer duo Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough. Deepika accessorised with a couple of statement pieces in gold by Cartier.
Available in three colours, as mentioned on the official website of Proenza Schouler, the pants are originally priced at US$ 3,839, which is approximately Rs 2,63,528. The product is currently on sale with the discounted price at US$ 1,344, which again translates to almost a lakh. Okay, breathe, because many of us probably can't even afford to make the purchase even on sale.
Another time Deepika Padukone wore Proenza Schouler pants was for one of her recent travels. Here's a detailed look:
She made a stylish entry to London earlier this week for her visit to Madame Tussauds, wearing Tom Ford boots, leather leggings by Alexander McQueen and a casual black tee by Balenciaga. She was carrying the Marmont Animal studs leather belt bag by Gucci, you know, just for her travel essentials.
Here's what she prefers to wear when just hanging out with pals in the Maximum City:
Meanwhile, let's walk into Deepika closet in throwback photos from this year and last year at Cannes:
Hmm, that was a lot of fashion fix for one day but there's nothing such as too much fashion, is there? Deepika Padukone knows best.

01:49PM, Friday 20 September 2019
With psychological abuse and especially gaslighting (which took its name from the play) featuring in social and news media of late.
I expected that Gaslight,a 1938 play by Patrick Hamiliton, would be the decent into madness of loving Wife Bella played by Charlotte Emmerson, tormented by her narcissistic Husband, James Wilby. What we experienced was so much more.
Wilby's performance took us through a range of emotions, from admonishing to playful to hurt and increasingly sinister throughout the performance, with Emmerson reactions equally powerful, making you want to scream at the stage "Get away from that vile man, can't you see!".
Even to the end one believed that she was truly brainwashed.
Bella's saviour came in the form of Detective Rough (Martin Shaw), introducing further twists to the plot as well as humour and Irish charm, adding to our emotional journey of discovery.
Mary Chater's loyal maid Elizabeth (who you felt knew what was happening, but was powerless to help) and Georgia Clarke-Day's entitled and naughty junior maid Nancy, Bella's paranoia induced competitor, provided great support to the primary players, especially allowing Wilby to demonstrate further nuances of character.
We were alternatively glued to our seats and jumping with fright throughout the performance through amazing staging by Lucy Bailey (Director), lighting, sets, sound and projection creating an almost immersive experience.
The Play runs to 28th September at the Windsor Theatre Royal and is a must see!

Every Friday, we're answering your questions about business, startups, customer success and more.
Happy Friday!
This week's question comes from Charles Forster, who asks:
It's always easy to answer a question like this after you've already figured out something that works well for you.
So of course, if I knew then what I know now, I'd be doing all of the stuff that ended up delivering huge marketing breakthroughs for us over the course of Groove's history.
And I'm happy to offer my take on what those big wins were, with the caveat that this is what worked for us, in our market, with our position. These things may not work for you. But if I got my hands on a time machine, here's what I'd start doing from day one:
- Deep, deep customer development. Before we did anything, I'd spend many, many hours talking to as many customers as possible, learning about their pains, challenges and goals, and thinking about how we could use our marketing to help them accomplish those goals (not to mention using these insights to drive our product development).
- Start publishing valuable, interesting and useful content as soon as we possibly can. I've always loved what Rick Perrault, CEO of Unbounce, said in his interview on our blog about the huge benefits Unbounce got from doing content marketing well before they launched their product:
The question we had from the beginning was "how are we going to find customers?" It's not like people are searching "landing page solution" or "landing page builder." People didn't even know to look for us, so how will we go out and find them? So that was a really important challenge for us to tackle, and we made the decision to start blogging on day one. [Ed. note: actually, it was more like day -165, as the product was six months from launch]
We needed to make connections with thought leaders, and to become thought leaders ourselves. So we worked hard, blogging, guest posting and promoting, and by the time we launched, we already had a reputation in the space. The thought leaders we had built relationships with talked about our product and got people interested. I don't think there would've been any other way to succeed.
As a result, the team had a strong launch and signed up a lot of users, fast.
- Drive top, middle and bottom-of-the-funnel traffic to our site. We didn't launch our support blog until nearly a year after our startup journey blog launched, and already it has nearly caught up in terms of traffic (and gets more customer signups). Both blogs deliver tremendous value to us, and I'd make sure that we get them both launched from the beginning.
- Understand and embrace the power of SEO to drive organic traffic. It took me a while to get over my fear of SEO and realize that it's not just some scammy tactic. Now that we're taking it seriously, our traffic has never been higher. I regret not putting in the effort from the beginning.
- Influencer outreach is the reason that our startup journey blog has been as successful as it has been. Especially early on, our outreach campaign gave the blog the boost it needed to build a baseline of traffic that has been steadily growing ever since. We still use many of the same tactics for a lot of our marketing initiatives, and if I understood its usefulness when we launched the business, we'd be in a different place today.
I'm curious: what do all of you wish you had started doing sooner? Let me know in the comments below!

BEN (OBI-WAN) KENOBI 1995 Edition!
Power of the Force Basic Figures
Item No.: Asst. 69570 No. 69576
Manufacturer: Kenner
Number: n/a
Includes: Lightsaber, cloak
Action Feature: n/a
Retail: $4.99
Availability: August 1995
Appearances: Star Wars
Image: Adam Pawlus' desk.
Bio: Trained by the Jedi Master Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi learned the ways of the Force and became a Jedi Knight. He successfully defended teh Old Republic in the Clone Wars and was hailed as a hero. He took on his own apprentice, the young Anakin Skywalker. (Taken from the figure's cardback. It goes on like this for a paragraph and change.)
Commentary: Back in 1995 fans were elated to have new Star Wars figures for the first time in nearly 10 years. As such, as a group we gobbled up figures like this Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi action figure like nobody's business. The likeness was very good, and continues to be above average even in 2008. A few attempts to redo the character's head haven't improved his look much, although it's possible the one due out any day now will be superior. This version has a hard, clamshell plastic robe covering his body which, sadly, doesn't stand too well. He tends to topple over unless posed with a base or leaning against something, so be careful here. He has only six points of articulation, and his pose is fairly benign. He won't be doing any cool action poses, but at least he doesn't look like he's dancing. Of the first seven figures to hit stores (you'll recall Leia and C-3PO were delayed), I'd argue Obi-Wan's sculpting and likeness have stood the test of time better than any of the others. He isn't overly muscular, his face doesn't have a strange expression on it, and there isn't anything really missing in his costume like Vader's "skirt" or Leia's second X chromosome. While versions with greater articulation have been released, few are truly greater than this figure-- as such, I'd say get one if you can do so cheaply, as we'll continue to get newer versions over time and, eventually, one of them should be unquestionably better than this one-- but I haven't seen it yet.
Collector's Notes: Several variants exist. You can get him with a short lightsaber, or a long one. He comes on an orange or a green cardback, and the green cardback could have a sticker, a photo, or a Freeze Frame on it. And there's more variants on top of that-- which is why nobody cares for them these days. The figure can be had for basically free. If you know a collector with one and ask nicely, he may be sick of it and give it to you. Or you can get it on eBay for about a dollar.

Figure of the Day: Day 940: Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi

I agree the head sculpt is pretty timeless, but if a figure can't sit then I can't stand it. I can't think of any modern era Episode 4 Kenobi who can fit in the landspeeder.
It looks like they got the cloth robes just right on the newest one coming out (not too puffy), so I think I'll go for the upgrade.

|Filipino-American Voters in California Should Get Out and Vote for Justice Cantil-Sakauye
|Columns - JGL Eye
|Written by Joseph G. Lariosa
|Friday, 03 September 2010 15:15
JGL Eye
By JOSEPH G. LARIOSA
C HICAGO (jGLi) – It is not always every election, especially in California, that voters will have a rooting interest, especially among Filipino Americans or Asian Americans, for that matter.
During the gubernatorial elections on Nov. 2nd, Filipino Americans or Asian Americans should go out and convert that rooting interest into a "yes" vote for the retention of Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the state of California. Justice Cantil-Sakauye's nomination by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was confirmed last Aug. 25 by the Commission on Judicial Appointment.
Philip R. Carrizosa of the Office of Communications of the Judicial Council of California of the Administrative Office of the Courts in San Francisco, California told this columnist that Justice Cantil-Sakauye "must get 50 percent plus one of the votes cast on her retention. It does not matter how many people vote on her retention, whether it's a million or 100,000 or 100. If she gets 50 percent plus one, she wins retention for a 12-year term."
Mr. Carrizosa also gave me a mind-numbing information that a winning California Chief Justice is not always assured of keeping the post if the Chief Justice goes for re-election after 12 years in office.
He said in November 1986, Chief Justice Rose Elizabeth Bird was rejected by voters when she sought a 12-year term. She had been confirmed by the voters in 1978, after she was appointed in 1977. But voters turned against her in 1986, primarily because she was considered to be too liberal and had voted to overturn every death penalty sentence that came to the Supreme Court.
Aware of this record that the first woman California Chief Justice – the first California Chief Justice – was rejected when she ran for re-election, the incoming California Chief Justice in Associate Justice Cantil-Sakauye, I am sure, would be soundly guided by the precedent.
I am sure Justice Cantil-Sakauye will always have in mind the reason Governor Schwarzenegger nominated her – that the role of Justice is to administer the law, not to create a law, and will be fair and prudent.
When she goes for her retention, Justice Cantil-Sakauye is not required to form a political action committee, unlike the governor or attorney general. Chief Justice Ronald George did not form a PAC when he ran for retention. If Justice Cantil-Sakauye gets contribution that is higher than the "maximum limit, that contribution is returned with a note explaining the limits." Any U.S. citizen or immigrant can contribute to her campaign.
I have not yet met Justice Cantil-Sakauye in person. But because she finds the time to respond to my email I believe she is transparent and she opens up on sensitive questions that can educate the voters about her.
A daughter of Maria Edilion Gorre Cantil, who was born in Walnut Grove California, and Clarence Freitas Cantil, who was born in Hawaii in 1924, Justice Cantil-Sakauye has three siblings – a half brother, who does not work, an older sister, who is a lawyer, and an older brother, who works for the federal government.
She said after working in the fields as a child and teen, her second-generation mother worked for the state of California and retired as an executive secretary at the Department of Corrections.
Her Portuguese-Filipino father also worked like her mother but retired from the federal government as an airplane repair employee. He died 11 and ½ years ago at the age of 74.
In her acceptance speech, Justice Cantil-Sakauye thanked her Cebuana grandmother for giving premium to education as a family value.
Her husband, Sacramento Police Lieutenant Mark Sakauye, 49, was born in Sacramento, a Japanese American, whose parents were interned during the outbreak of World War II.
If elected in Nov. 2, Justice Cantil-Sakauye will become the second woman Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California. She will be first Filipino and Asian American to become Chief Justice of California Supreme Court.
So, when Filipino Americans or Asian Americans will troop to the polls on Nov. 2nd in California, they should make sure to encourage their relatives, friends, neighbors to take the extra mile to get them to go out and vote "Yes" for Justice Cantil-Sakauye.
A candidate for this position for a Filipino American or an Asian American may not be available again in our lifetime. (firstname.lastname@example.com)

The Game by Terry Schoot is unique in its own way. A boy that is 74 years old realizes that he is no longer old. His name is Zack. At first he is completely lost meaning he has no idea of nothing, even his own name. This is were Terry was clever. Zack like i said before was really 74 years old but he wakes up in a virtual reality world that is a video game that many other play. It was possible to record and store a players virtual life during their stay. Every one in the community has tooken notice to what has been happening and they followed their favorite players as if it were their favorite celebrity. The current world they live is, is called Tygon. Zach was a lucky player because he began as an orphan but brought himself up to one of the best players of the game. He has a decision to make once he turns 18. He can decide to retire in a really good position or risk it all and retire at the number one spot. Will he make the cut , what will the 30th anniversary of the game hold, and is it possible that the mainframe of the computer that controls it all, is becoming aware ? You must read the book to find out ?
My Personal Review
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about video games in a realistic fashion way. You may have not yet heard about the book but it should be put into a thought of consideration. This book has so many things that you probably wouldn't have thought of based on the title. The way Schott makes several plot twists in a certain way just makes my hairs stand up. This book brings together the real world and what mostly everyone does. Play video games. The book will bring you to an exciting state to the the point where you'll want to keep reading until your eyes fall off.
- "Belief is a remarkable thing. If we believe that we can do something, we can. If we believe that we can't do somthing, then we can't. Our belief system limits us, shaping our entire lives."
- "Trust as much as you can, knowing that the gift of trust will probably be the thing that ends it all for you someday."
Terry Schott, The Game (The Game is Life, #1)
We all want to be in the #1 spot, but will you let your stress get to you ? Read The Game by Terry Schott to give you an understanding!

We hear this talk about Muslims not liking non-believers. But, to me, it seems that the biggest enemy of the Shiite Muslims are the Sunni Muslims and vice versa. When they're all done killing each other, with the United States killing Muslims of all persuasions, will there be any Muslims left? Can't they all just get along? (Apologies to the late Rodney King.)
(Prompted by Saudi Arabia executing Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr. The things that al-Nimr did that Saudi Arabia objected to sound like they would be perfectly legal in the United States.)

New pistons, valves, bearings, crank reground. Rebuilt with head pressure tested valves, springs etc. Receipts for £1,500. Brakes rebuilt, lack of use has made them a little firm.

Welcome & Introduction
Susan Grigg welcomed everyone and explained that it had been an exciting year for her as the new chairman, learning the role and meeting local people.
She was pleased to announce another very stable financial year thanks to the efforts of
Julie Blackmore and her staff who had increased the scale of delivery of MMK Mind this year
and secured the extension of the building in College road.
She wanted to personally thank all of the staff and volunteers for their efforts.
Minutes of the 2017 AGM
Julie Blackmore explained that the minutes of the 2017 meeting were contained within the annual report and there were no action points for consideration. It was agreed that these were a true and accurate record of the meeting and were signed by the Chairman.
Election of Trustees & Appointment of Auditors
James Walker explained that all nine of the current trustees wished to be reconsidered for election and asked for a proposal from the floor that they be elected en-bloc to serve for an additional year and a vote was held.
It was also proposed that Wiggins & Co chartered Accountants be appointed as auditors for an additional year.
It was agreed that:
Tim Arnold, Philip Fuller, Susan Grigg, Richard Harvey, Jennifer Parris, Dr Neil Sinclair, Donal Watkins, Hazel Webb and James Wood be elected as Trustees of Maidstone and Mid-Kent Mind.
Wiggins & Co Chartered Accountants be appointed as the auditors for Maidstone and Mid-Kent Mind.
Chairman's Report
Susan Grigg presented her reported stating that this had been the most successful year in the charity's history with expansion in number of services and geographic coverage on offer. There had been a large number of grants secured throughout the year along with a successful tender to Kent county council for delivery of a Kent wide HeadStart training programme.
Chief Exec's Report
Julie Blackmore presented her report drawing attention to some of the successes from the year including; the expansion of services on offer to local schools, the continued delivery of Kent Police Control Room support and a Wellbeing Café for Ashford, as well as the creation of a new Crisis Café in Maidstone.
She added that there continued to be a consistent growth in the number of people accessing community services with much of this being due to the increased marketing reach provided in the year by Tom.
Looking ahead Julie was keen to see the extension of the college road building take place and also for the IAPT and Low Cost Counselling services to grow in size to meet the local needs. Another target was also to get more staff trained as MHFA Instructors as this was a area of consistent growth.
Julie thanked the board members for their dedication and the volunteers for the difference they made to the charity. She also thanked all the staff for their continuing efforts and flexibility.
Treasures Report
Hazel Webb presented the financial report for 2017/18 showing a surplus of £119,569, however she explained that £50k of this a grant received towards the building extension works. The end year balance as at 31 March 2017 was £373,101 following a significant investment in IT equipment for staff.
Youth Services
Nikki Brooker stated that in the past year there had been a 200% increase in young people accessing our services with 359 engaging in courses and peer support groups. A short film about the youth service was shown.
Café Services
James Walker explained that there continued to be large demand for the wellbeing café in Ashford and that several service users and volunteers had raised additional funding for equipment to be used at the café. He added that a new Crisis café provision had been commissioned for Maidstone and whilst this provided a very different service specification it was already seeing significant attendances.
Social media and marketing
Tom Fishenden explained that he had spent this year learning and developing his new role and loved doing it. He had expanded the reach of the MMK Mind social media and branding and presented a short film about our services.
Suzanne Middleton introduced herself to everyone as someone that came into contact with MMK Mind services following the loss of her son to suicide in 2016. She undertook some courses and started to volunteer with the charity whilst looking to recover from the bereavement. Eventually she reached the point where she wanted to work and is now delivering community services for MMK Mind which she loves.
Therapeutic Drumming
Nicky Underwood explained that she was introduced to MMK Mind via a friend and together they made a grant application to pilot drumming sessions as a way for people to improve their wellbeing. This proved highly successful with several people undertaking public performances of the skills they learned. These sessions are designed for complete novices to have fun whilst supporting their mental wellbeing and she was keen to see this service expand to even more people.
Questions from the floor
In response to questions from the floor Julie Blackmore explained that the Maidstone Café would not become wellbeing based as it was not what the CCG has commissioned, and the new extension would hopefully be completed by October with a 2 week shut down of services for connection breakthrough works.
Closing Remarks from Chairman
Susan Grigg thanked everyone for attending and sharing some of the achievements from this year and was looking forward to another successful year. She invited everyone to take refreshments and network with each other.

At Kyrle Probus, we've done our best to create our website to anticipate and satisfy the needs of our members and guests and also to inform potential new members. With that goal in mind, we've compiled a list of FAQ
If you do not find an answer to your question here, please contact the Club Secretary by telephone or email to arrange a first visit, or for further information.
The annual subscription to the Club is £20 and there is a charge for coffee and room hire of £30 twice yearly, so £80 per annum. For new members there is also a joining fee of £10 to cover the cost of the club tie and lapel badge.
No, but we would hope that if you are available, you would want to come along to our twice monthly meetings …......most members do.
No, but we would hope that you would join us on those events which appeal to you. Most members and their partners come along to three or four events over the course of the year.
No, our Club is completely non-political - the Conservative Club merely provides a good venue for our meetings. As a Club we are also secular in all our activities.
Generally to support the Club in its activities – if Probus is 'for you', then this should not be onerous ! The one specific obligation all members have is to find a speaker when it is their turn - this happens about every 15-18 months. An alternative is to address the Club yourself and many new members do this – it's good for other members to find out about new members' background and interests. New members are always given a period of grace before being asked to arrange a speaker.
At any one time there are generally about 35 members. Some of the older members find some of the social events a little too much but nevertheless enjoy the twice monthly meetings. There is also a widow's support section and past members' widows are invited on the social events and the holidays.
Yes, we welcome occasional guests, both to the meetings and on the social events if there is space.
Ask them along as a guest to two or three meetings. To be a good member they should feel comfortable with us and vice versa. If they want to join the club, they will be interviewed by the committee who will make a recommendation on which the membership can then vote.
If you are new to the area then make contact with the Club Secretary. He will arrange a 'buddy' for you who can introduce you when you attend meetings as a guest. Depending on numbers there is sometimes a waiting list for membership but that needn't stop you coming along as a guest to see what we are about.
When a member sidles up to you in a suspicious manner and starts to pay you complements, just say "No!". Some committee members' posts are more onerous than others but to be a successful club we need committed committee members who enjoy what they do. Your turn will only come when you are ready for it.

Layla is TWO Months!
My sweet Layla Lou, you are already two months old! We went to the doctor this morning for your check up and you weighed 15 pounds 4 ounces, that is over the 100th percentile, yep sweet girl you are off the charts! You are 23-3/4" long which puts you in the 97th percentile and your head is 40 cm which is 96th percentile. So you are proportionate, just big and beautiful. You had to get three shots and drink some yucky stuff. You cried for about a minute, but then you realized your Momma had you are you were okay. Then I put you in your car seat and you realized Momma wasn't holding you are you get a little upset, but got over it! You like to be held.
Your neck is good and strong and you can lift it up when you are on your tummy. The doctor said since you are big it is a lot to hold up, but you showed her. You smiled and cooed for her. You are just like your sister, when you smile your whole face lights up. You have the biggest sweetest cheeks. You like for your Momma to rub her nose in your cheeks and you chuckle every time I do it. It is almost a laugh, but not quite.
You are still a strictly breast fed baby. You have had a bottle once when Mom had a photo shoot to do and you took it like a champ for your daddy. That is the only bottle you have had and you still won't take a pacifier. You just don't like it. I have bought every different kind they sell, but you just aren't interested.
You generally go to sleep around 10:45 p.m. and you sleep until about 5:30a.m. You eat, I change your diaper and back to sleep you go until around 9:30 a.m. You go back to sleep at 12:00 p.m. and take a 3-4 hour nap. You take little cat naps the rest of the day.
You are a good natured baby and only cry when you are tired or hungry. But when you are hungry you let everyone around know! This girl likes to eat, can't you tell! You nurse at 5:30 a.m. 9:30 a.m. when you wake up for the day and again at 12:00 p.m. before your big nap. You eat at 4:00 p.m. when you wake up. Then it gets a little tricky at night. Sometimes you eat at 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. others it is at 6,8, and 10. I have not put you on a schedule, you sort of did that yourself. When you are ready you will figure out your night time routine. Two or three feedings, it makes no difference to me. I have been pumping during your big nap and freezing it just in case I ever need to give you a bottle I have it ready.
I love you, I love you, I love you and I couldn't be happier that you joined our family!

hello, i lost my mom this past april. she was only 55. we were really close and she was my best friend. im definitely having a really hard time. i haven't talked to a therapist or anything because i just haven't been ready to i suppose. i have been having anxiety & panic attacks. i will be fine for a week or so and then have a complete breakdown and it's like i start over from the beginning with grieving. it hurts so much. i finally was so desperate i googled online therapy or forums where you can vent and express yourself. this is the website i clicked on. it has been really rough..

there is no shame in seeing someone, and no shame in not doing so. everyone grieves differently. unfortunately, there really isn't much you can do but wait. this isn't classic depression you're experiencing, it is a unique human emotion which everyone experiences. you can try and divert your energy into other things: painting, meditating, working out, ect. but the reality is time is the best remedy to this condition. i'm sorry. you're probably very young to have experienced this and i can't imagine coping with something of this magnitude given the experiences you've had. therapy might help or it might not. the key is to find what works for you and grow. its so, so hard but from this loss you will find something new in yourself. i'm so sorry. on the bright side, i can tell you it gets easier. i won't pretend like it'll every be the same and there will always be something missing no matter how hard to try to fill that melancholy void, but it will get better. i'm so, so sorry. take care. always remember you're not alone in this struggle.

my dad commited suicide which depressed my mom who died a year later after her somkimg burnt our house down. i got sad and overwhelmed every so often like you said. i talked through it and still journal and made a list of things that make me happy so i can go to the list when i need to feel better. coming here is a good step. other people have survived tough things and you are here for a reason. you smille at ppl each day and you share your story when you feel safe and that helps someone else. i also take good days to write myself a letter in my jkurnal that i reread hen i need it. i know you miss her so much. but she is watching you and would not leave you alone even on the other side

where do the anxiety and panic attacks originate from, specifically? have you been... - skipping meals/neglecting your overall health? - depriving yourself of sleep, and/or intaking lots of caffeine to make up for it? - stressing about how to cope with work and/or any other affairs? - isolating yourself from the rest of the family? time will never heal the wound, but it will ease the pain. those aren't original words, but they're the best words you can have right now. while it is normal for you to have anxiety/panic attacks following your mom's passing, please do not try anything drastic or unusual to ease the pain; you may just dig yourself in deeper. eat healthy and well. be active. get as much sleep as you did prior to her passing. take leave from the rest of the world if you need to. this sounds like some motivational bullshit straight out of a walmart book, but it isn't meaningless. don't go to a therapist. not yet. talk to what family you still have. make them listen to you. make yourself listen to them. stay with one another-- i don't mean a three hour visit. live closely to each other and spend some time for yourselves for a while. take time to truly and devotionally bond with them. your mother has left a gaping hole between y'all, and you can't neglect it. it only makes things worse. if you still feel as horrible as you do now even after trying all that, visit a therapist. take care of yourself, mellow.

from wind river: "i'd like to tell you it gets easier. it doesn't. if there's any... comfort, it's... getting used to the pain, i suppose. went to a grief seminar in casper. did you know that? i don't know why. just wanted the bad to go away. wanted answers... to questions that couldn't be answered. the counselor come up to me after the seminar and sat down next to me. and he said something that stuck with me. i don't know if it's what he said, or how he said it. he says, "i got some good news, and i got some bad news. bad news is you're never gonna be the same. you're never gonna be whole, not ever again. you lost your daughter. nothing's ever going to replace that. now the good news is, as soon as you accept that, and you let yourself suffer... you allow yourself to visit her in your mind, and you'll remember all the love she gave you, all the joy she knew." point is, martin, you can't steer from the pain. if you do, you'll rob yourself... you'll rob yourself of every memory of her. every last one. from her first step to her last smile. kill 'em all. just take the pain, martin. you hear me? you take it. it's the only way you'll keep her with you."

Agility Classes
Dog agility is the most popular dog sport in the United States. It's a timed event where dogs run, jump, climb, and weave through a variety of obstacles in a set order. Each course is different, so the challenges never end!
Crossbones has agility classes for all dogs, from total beginner through experienced competitor, taught by Katherine Ostiguy, a USDAA Regional Champion with 15 years experience in the sport. Whether you're brand new to the sport or have competed for years, we have a class for you!
Are you...
Training for agility provides both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Dogs are tired and content after participating in class.
This sport exposes dogs to a variety of different objects, which is a great socialization opportunity for puppies!
It's a great way to build confidence in shy and reserved dogs. Your dog will learn to explore new environments and take on new challenges.
Agility enhances the bond between dogs & their owners. You'll get to know your dog on a different level!
If your dog has never done agility before, you can take our Intro to Agility workshop after attending Orientation. We strongly recommend attending at least two manners Flex Classes if you have never taken group dog training classes elsewhere. Our agility program is fast-paced, and it's imperative that you are familiar with our training techniques & class policies, and that your dog is capable of focusing on you around other dogs in close proximity.
After you have taken Intro to Agility, you may repeat that class as much as you'd like, or move on to Performance Fundamentals if you decide you'd like to pursue the sport. Students take Performance Fundamentals a minimum of 6 times before moving on to more advanced classes.
You can jump right into Performance Fundamentals. You'll take this class a minimum of 6 times before moving on to more advanced classes.
If your dog is focused on you in a busy class environment, eats treats without hesitation, plays (either with toys or with personal play), confidently interacts with novel objects, has a solid warm-up routine, and is over the age of 9 months, you're ready to start attending Agility Skill Building classes.
We have TWO separate SB classes: one for Contacts & Tables and one for Jumps & Weaves. New dogs should attend BOTH classes. We separate them so dogs who are struggling with a certain piece of equipment can attend classes specific to that obstacle.
If your dog confidently and correctly performs all pieces of equipment, you're ready to move on to Agility Competition Prep. In this class, we run Masters-level agility courses. Less-experienced teams are given shorter sequences within those courses.
If you're experiencing any obstacle performance issues, take the Agility Skill Building class that meets your needs (Contacts & Tables or Jumps & Weaves). If your dog is performing all of the obstacles fluently, join Agility Competition Prep. You are more than welcome to take both classes!
Still not sure which class is right for you? Or, would you prefer to have a private lesson first? Contact Katherine for assistance.
Get Started
A valid Flex Class Pass is required to register for all agility classes. We have five different agility classes depending on your experience level.
View our class calendar online to see when each class is offered. Our weekly agility classes are currently Wednesday nights. Our Intro to Agility workshop for new participants is held once a month on a Tuesday night, and occasionally on other dates as well.
Agility Class FAQ
Please be sure to read the Flex Class FAQ, too. It answers questions about expiration dates, rescheduling, vaccinations, etc.
Crossbones Dog Academy is located at 189 Swan Street, Providence RI 02905, just 5 minutes off I-95. We have a 70x40' training space with Great Mats agility flooring and AKC/USDAA competition grade equipment by Max 200 and Launch the Dog. This space is heated and has indoor bathrooms (for people) and indoor crating (for dogs). There is plenty of free parking, including several convenient spots directly in front of the building as well as an attached parking lot.
Yes, in all classes except Intro to Agility. Be sure to register for class twice - once for each dog.
Our agility program is safe for puppies. Puppies under 9 months of age are eligible for & encouraged to attend Intro to Agility and Performance Fundamentals. These classes are a great addition to any puppy's socialization and training plan. Obstacles are kept very low and training sessions are kept short.
Puppies over 9 months of age who have attended Performance Fundamentals at least 6 times may move on to our two Agility Skill Building classes. The challenges in those classes will be simplified for growing puppies.
We DO NOT allow puppies to do full-height agility equipment or run long sequences. We firmly believe "less is more" when it comes to puppy training. We have over 15 years experience in the sport and have seen too many injuries in young dogs from overtraining.
